This can not be a light source, armor, tool, or vehicle and, and he can not recreate a magical effect. Creatures must make a DC 18 Investigation check to realize that he is transformed. If the creature saw him performing the Jutsu, they automatically succeed. This does not change statistics, save for granting the creature's swimming and flying speeds. Body Flicker (2 Chakra). Saiken's movement speed doubles, and his movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity. REACTIONS Substitution (2+ Chakra). When Saiken is hit by an attack and would take damage, he decreases the damage by 25 (1d10 + 20) and teleports up to 15 ft. in any direction to an unoccupied space, during which he takes the Hide action. A generic object is left in his place and he takes any remaining damage from that attack. Saiken can add reduce this damage by an additional 6 (1d10) points per chakra point spent over the initial cost.

Saiken, the Six-Tailed Namekuji Saiken the Six-Tailed Slug, while speaking boastfully, is kinder and not as self-serving and malicious as most other Tailed Beasts. While it generally avoids violence, it does not find it detestable.
