Clan Name: Nishikawa
Kekkei Genkai: This clan's kekkei genkai is a very strange one. Their ability is the ability to force chakra strings out of their body at their chakra points, so 100 in total. This gives them access to very powerful jutsu, including the potential to control 64 puppets at a time. The users have very high chakra control, and a very high amount of chakra, about 10% more of each, allowing them to learn a chakra string jutsu as if it was a D rank. This clan cannot use elemental jutsu or genjutsu.
History: The clan has been around since a little before the formation of the great ninja villages. The clan's ability was a very high chakra amount and control. The clan was fascinated in the versatility and the potential of the chakra string jutsu. So much so, they started to use forbidden jutsus to try and manipulate their body's to control more of these strings. A lot of the clan members died in trying to do so, but eventually there was a breakthrough. The clan manipulated a child so that he could grow the chakra strings out of his chakra points. After the child was about three years old, he could only control about four of them. The clan members realized that there were limits to how many strings you could control. They manipulated many more children like this, and realised that the trait could be passed down through the bloodline. Sunagakure saw the potential of this clan and agreed to let the clan stay there if they would halt the manipulation process. The clan agreed, thinking that they had enough children to keep the bloodline going, and joined Suna. The clan has been raising powerful ninja ever since.
Secret Clan Jutsu:
Name: Nishikawa Kugutsu no Jutsu- Nishikawa Art of the Puppet Master
Rank: C - Nishikawa - D
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: N/A
Description: This jutsu uses strings of chakra to control puppets like marionettes. Any number of chakra strings can be used to control a puppet, but users with more skill can use fewer strings per puppet. Both Chiyo and Sasori demonstrated the ability to control entire puppets perfectly using just one string. While most puppeteers would normally be able to control ten puppets at most (one per finger), but this modified jutsu can summon a string out of any chakra points, depending on one's rank. This jutsu has a restriction however, allowing only 64 puppets controlled at once.
Apart from being used to control marionettes, the chakra strings can be attached to other objects, allowing the user to control, or at the very least disrupt, other things.
This technique has few weaknesses: since the puppeteer uses his or her hands to manipulate the puppets, if the hands are disabled, then the technique could be neutralized. Also, while controlling the doll, the user is wide open if the opponent bypasses the puppet. For this reason, puppeteers avoid battle, relying almost exclusively on their puppets instead.
