Village Specialization Bonus

When a country can specialize in a type of Technique, it gains a bonus to both use and learning of a DC. The user gains +2 chakra bonus on learning and using the technique. This includes combining one of the Specialized techniques with another, but does not stack if there are multiple specializations (E.G. If a Weapon and Water technique are combined by a Shinobi from the Hidden Village of Water, they only get a +2 chakra bonus to learning and using the technique, not a +4).

 

Technique Specialization

A Ninja, starting at level 1, can specialize in one of the following types of Techniques
