Name: Sankuro Hourglass

Type: Container

Quantity: Only one.

Description: The sand hourglass is about two feet tall and about six inches wide with two bulbous ends connected at a tapered middle that allows the sand at the top to travel down to the bottom at a rate of one turn per hour. This holds about 40 m^3 in volume of sand. It is worn on the back with a leather strap wrapped around both the user's waist and his rib cage, under his arms, in order to keep the hourglass in place. These leather straps can be disconnected via a quick snap of the metal clasps, which would momentarily leave the wielder without free hands. There are two corked holes on either end that can be pushed out with slightly more force than the amount of weight that the sand itself produces. This means that it can only be opened by a Sankuro clan member.

The glass is more thick than normal glass, allowing it to take more damage before cracking or breaking catastrophically (three D-ranked hits in order to fully break open the hourglass, two C-ranked hits, or one B-ranked hit, all direct). The struts are made of a hardened, weather-treated wood, meaning it is not affected by water (or lack thereof). The entire apparatus weighs about 150 lbs, but can be made lighter through chakra concentration. (The Sankuro clan member could lift the sand slightly, allowing them to move faster for one post. This will be made into a jutsu.)

Abilities: Just holds sand. The glass is more thick than normal glass, allowing it to take more damage before cracking or breaking catastrophically (three D-ranked hits in order to fully break open the hourglass, two C-ranked hits, or one B-ranked hit, all direct).

History: After realizing that he would be quite defenseless outside of the desert, Sokko had a large hourglass made to very precise specifications by a local glassblower. Although it was difficult to create the right volume, Sokko was moderately pleased with the dimensions, but soon found its weight to be too much for him to use without training. It took Sankuro quite a lot of training to at least walk with the hourglass on his back, but he did eventually manage this feat.

Appearance:

Spoiler:

Basically like the gourd but it's an hour glass

Code:

Due to the strength to block up to B rank this shall be 9,500 ryo

(If you have Comments or objections please state so now)

Err... It doesn't block B-ranked attacks. It actually gets broken by the B-rank. Or three D-ranks. Or two C-ranks.

Code:

My apologizes I misread, price adjusted approval still stands; 7,600 ryo

The durability of the glass needs to be put in the abilities section.

Added it to abilities, even though it's not some magical ability that would make it cost over 20 grand. >.>

Durability has the word ability in it, therefore it belongs there lol. Durability isnt subject to the fee.

Purchasing this thing.
