Kekkei Genkai: Some members of The Kagetsu Clan display a special Kekei Genkai that allows them to temporarily steal the properties of solids and some liquids that come in contact with there bare hands. When they take the properties of solids there skin becomes as hard as the substance they took the properties from, they take on the same color and texture of the solid. They can also manipulate there bodily structure while using this ability and while only using this ability, they can not manipulate there bodily structure without taking the properties of something first.
This ability manifest in three stags:
D-Ranked
1st Stage- The user will be able to take the properties of what ever solid they touch up to there shoulders and can keep it up for a small period of time. (1-5 Post) This can begin as early as 6-9 years of age and often last until 13-15 years of age.
C-Ranked
2nd Stage - The user is able to take the properties of what ever solid they touch up to the waist and they can begin to manipulate there bodily structure to shields as well to increase there strength. They can also hold this for longer periods of time. (1- 10 Post) This often starts at around puberty.
B-Ranked
3rd Stage - The user is able to take the property of what ever he touches all over the body. The body manipulation becomes complete almost to it's full extent. They can now take property of what they touch, create spikes and also use this property as projectile weaponry. They can also hold this for a very large amount of time. (1-15, 25+ depending on mastery level over Kekei Genkai.)
A-Ranked
4rd Stage - The user will be able to take the properties of what ever solid they touch all over there body. The bodily manipulation becomes complete and can be used to fullest extent. They can also transform there body into liquid form. They can also hold this for a very large amount of time. (1-20, 25+ depending on mastery level over Kekei Genkai.) This happens randomly, some never make it this far.

Secret Clan Jutsu:
History: The Kagetsu Clan was once a clan of monks who believed in nature and balance of things. Many people say the reason why the Kagetsu Clan can take the properties of what ever solid they touch is because they are fully intune wth nature. They are said to come from the bird country.
The Kagetsu was once a pacifest clan that hated war and violence but when the clan war broke out money became tight and there nation began to grow poor. The Kagetsu Clan tried to find ways to make money but they couldn't.
Pretty soon the clan was split into two parts, The War-half and The Pacifest-half, that all changed when they were attacked by another clan, from a opposing nation. The Kagetsu was caught of gaurd and nearly 30 Kagetsu Clan members were killed. The opposing clan slaughtered both women and children.
The Kagetsu men were angry at that clan that the next day the remaining Clan members attacked there base, with no remorse the Kagetsu Clan eliminated that clan in one simple Genecide.
The Clan was no longer torn in two but in one. They would fight to survive againest the enemies. From that day the Kagetsu Clan became blood thirsty fighters.
The Kagetsu Clan fought for many years, when the war was over they returned to the bird country but they weren't wanted the people thought that them living there would only bring around more trouble. The Kagetsu did what the people wanted and left. They became a traveling clan.
They ended up in the Fire Country and joined the Hidden Leaf Village where they live today.
