Clan Name: The Ichushiro Clan
Kekkei Genkai: The Inner Seal – As animals evolve to meet the challenges of the environment so the Ichushiro Clan’s chakra coils shifted and warped over the decades till one generation developed a trait linked to their speciality. As Fuuinjutsu users without compare in Kumo they used to study, dream, sleep and even eat seals and such close study it seems is not without its unintended consequences. The Ichushiro bloodline developed a natural seal overlaying there chakra network they call the inner seal. It contains within it the knowledge of past generations of Ichurshiro, granting those who possess it the innate understanding of seals and their application. Those born with the Inner Seal know how to draw and create seals as naturally as others breathe. In time they learn to harness them with unmatched ease, use them in ways not conceived possible and even sense seals about them. Ichushiro clan members have the following traits as a result:
Chakra Efficient Sealers – The Ichushiro clans deep understanding of seals and shared genetic memory allows its members to use them with the minimum of wasted chakra. The chakra cost of all Fuuinjutsu techniques used by them is counted as one rank lower then the stated rank
Sealed Chakra System – While it doesn’t manifest itself physically the inner seal has a profound affect on the user‘s chakra system allowing the user to control it as though it were one highly complicated seal. Ichushiro clan members can close or open tenketsu points at will or seal off individuals parts of their network from the whole. This makes it very hard for others to damage, poison, corrode or cut off their chakra supply or else directly effect their chakra coils and thus makes them highly resistant to any attack on their chakra system.
Seal Sense – Ischushiro Clan members can detect any active seals within 50m of themselves. In addition they can in most cases recognise and unravel the seals purpose by concentrating on it though they can not do so for seals above their own rank
Clan Symbol: Clan History: The Ichushiro Clan was once one of Kumo’s most ancient and venerable clans, long possessing a seat on its council. For generations they have served as Kumo’s foremost sealers, helping to hide the city from enemies and ward the passes. The clan reached its height, in influence, wealth and prestige after one of their clan was the first to develop the inner seal and rose to become one of the city’s most prominent members. Ever since the Ichushiro clan has been considered the seal users of choice within Kumo and their services are in near constant demand. At one time their clan was numerous but war, disease and a lower then normal birth rate has brought the clan low in recent years. Three decades ago the clan was already on the brink of dying out, with a handful of members and fewer still with the vaunted inner seal that has helped keep the Ichushiro clan one step ahead of its competitors as Kumo’s premier fuuinjutsu users. They struggled to make their voice heard in the council. To counter this Taiga Ichushiro, then leader of the Ichushiro clan at the time, seemed to think the secrets of the clan’s revival lay with rediscovering long lost techniques. He was certain in his conviction that with them the lost honour and glory of the Ichushiro could be restored. However his hunt was in vain. By the time of his death he was considered crazy, dominated by his search for mythical techs though his numerous unsuccessful expeditions had turned up no ancient treasure. The clan never truly recovered both from the resources wasted on his schemes and the loss of face that came with failue though his son Zabuza seemed for all purposes a Nin of staggering skill whose open and enthusiastic attitude had one him many friends. By now the clan was shadow of its former self, though many expected great things from Zabuza, his charming young wife and the ever smiling son Howl. The family was greatly esteemed Zabuza rose through the ranks quickly considered intelligent, sharp witted and generous. His wife Anko always charming, supportive and warm and their son was the centre of attention among his age group, always smiling and having the ability to brighten even the bleakest day. Many thought the Ichushiro star was once more on the rise when the incident happened seven years ago. No one knows what happened that night, though all know of the black mist that clogged their compound come sunrise killing all who breathed it. The Raikage banned any entry and when no jutsu was capable of dissipating the terrifying mist decided to wait it out but the mist did not go away. After 6 months with not a sound from the compound and the clawing black mist still as thick as ever over the buildings within it was finally sealed off and left as a telling reminder of the clan that once called it home. One year ago, much to everyone’s surprise the unmovable mist finally disappeared one night and under secret orders elite operatives entered to uncover the truth behind the mysterious mist and what had happened to the ancient clan. Officially it was claimed to the by product of their clan’s defensive seal network collapsing, the result of numerous deadly seals activating simultaneously, though rumours persist that Taiga’s raving had not been as mad as they had seemed and that his son had continued his research. Tales of strange items dating back to before the villages being taken from the site abounded and rumours spread of Nin finding the residue of archaic and unfamiliar techniques within. Within days of it being reopened all talk about the Ichshiro was forbidden and it became another of the village’s secrets, a mystery that looked never to be solved. Only one thing is known for certain, that Howl has somehow survived the attack and was supposedly living as a missing nin, though why the charming boy they remember would run instead staying among the village, few knew. Kumo has since placed an A Ranked bounty for his safe return claiming they want to speak to him with regard to the incident and has even dispatched elite nin units on occasion when sightings of Howl have come in. Whatever happened there can be no doubt that they are eager to talk to the young man and will stop at nothing to see him safely returned to Kumo.
Clan JutsuName: Redokku Sennin’s Third Hand Projection Technique
Rank: C
Type: Fuuinjutsu
Element: N/A
Description: After forming a seal requiring physical contact it is possible to project that seal by means of this technique. The user need only form the technique, focus chakra in to any hand and manipulate it accordingly. A blue ghost like hand will form over their own bearing the seals mark on its palm. With a surge of charka this can be sent shooting off at high speeds towards a target. A certain amount of control over the flying hand can be exerted making it harder to dodge then one might imagine. Should contact be made the seal will activate as if user has touched the target himself. This cost a C Ranks worth of chakra in addition to the seals base cost. This tech has a effective range of 50m.
Name: Seal Clones
Rank: B
Type: Fuuinjutsu
Element: N/A
Description: Seal clones are material clones made of two different paper parts (though it can just be made of the first). One is a seal which expands to form the clone in the first place using the chakra within it. The second though not necessary to the clones function is stored safetly within it. The created clone is solid and operates like a water clone in effect however when either they touch a opponent or are disrupted this seal within activates as if the user themselves applied to the target. The second seal can be any sort known to the user. This second seal costs the chakra amount the seal would normally cost in addition to the B rank used to form the clone in the first place. Should the clone/s be dispersed at range the seals are potentially recoverable to be reused at no additional cost by their creator
Name: Sanbou Kyuukai - Three Buddhist Treasures Vacuum Destruction
Rank: B
Type: Fuuinjutsu
Element: N/A
Description: Requiring 3 hand seals to perform and ending with the horse seal this technique creates 3 small seals in triangular formation set 3 foot apart from each other 1 m in front of the user. A foot behind a 2m wide swirling vortex will form between the seals and the user. The effect of this seal is to suck up with great force all the surrounding objects, items and materials like a vacuum through the triangular space and into the vortex where upon they are broken down into nothingness. This technique can suck up anything within 30m of the target that is not firmly rooted to the ground, such as trees etc
Name: Charka Immolation Seal
Rank: A
Type: Fuuinjutsu
Element: N/A
Description: Requiring 5 hand signs to perform the chakra immolation is another touch based seal with horrifying effects. Should a person be struck by this seal it will have the unfortunate effect of causing the stricken individuals localised chakra network to spontaneously combust causing immense internal damage and destroying the chakra coils within. Should it be allowed to spread through the system the resulting chain reaction will invariably kill the victim. Fortunately every chakra network has an internal defence system which will automatically react to the use of this seal by closing the nearest primary tenketsu point isolating attack and limiting the damage caused. Any limb struck so will effectively seize to be usable and will be unable to mould chakra and a direct hit to the chest or head is almost certainly fatal. This technique is incredibly effective when used on an individual who is gating should it manage to hit as the immense amount of chakra released in gating makes it impossible to seal ones tenketsu points effectively allowing its effects to spread throughout the victims chakra network
Name: Divine Judgement: 8 Gate Deconstruction Seal
Rank: S
Type: Fuuinjutsu
Element: N/A
Description: As per the ancient clan guidelines a true seal master must proove their mastery of their subject by creating a seal of unquestioned skill. This technique is used by the Ichushiro clan to test the limits of a member and mastery of it is required to be appointed clan head. The Divine Judgement: 8 Gate Deconstruction Seal is among the most complicated and powerful seals ever devised. It was inspired after a clan leader 60 years ago did battle with the Tyrant of Rain who used gating in battle to great affect. He observed first hand the vast amount of chakra it unleashed and the damaging effects it had even on the Kage’s well trained and experienced body. He devised a sealing technique that exploited it but it was far too complicated and time consuming too be combat effective. To correct the issue he designed an ever more complicated seal that replicated the convoluted and lengthy sealing process needed allowing the techniques to be performed in a fraction of the time. The sealing technique takes the form of a large complex seal arrangement tattooed over the user’s arm. It takes over 24 hours to apply to a person and requires an unparalleled understanding of seals and chakra manipulation. Failed or disrupted attempts to apply it can cause immense pain, personal injury or even permanently burn out the user’s chakra coils. Only 3 men and 1 woman have ever been able to make it successfully. The seal in itself does nothing but can be used to perform the following sealing technique in a fraction of the time they would usually require:
Name: Divine Judgement: 8 Gate Release Immolation Sealing Technique (aka the living bomb technique)
Rank: S
Type: Fuuinjutsu
Element: N/A
Description: This seal requires a Divine Judgement: 8 Gate Deconstruction Seal to user effectively. It incorporates no less then 28 lesser seals within it, each with a defined role, whose combined result is far more then a sum of its individual parts. Its is heinously complicated in theory but is in practise simple to use thanks to the Divine Judgement: 8 Gate Deconstruction Seal effectively doing all the mind boggling manipulation needed for this technique. All the user needs to do is simply focus an immense amount of charka (equivalent to S ranks worth) into the seal at a steady rate over the course of one post to activate it. To an outside observer the individuals arm starts to glow in a bright golden hue as chakra appears to dance across his skin, for those who can see the flow of chakra the sight is truly astonishing with each individual strand being a tiny seal flowing in a breathtaking and unreal fashion. However their amazement soon fade as after activated the seal will form and the shining aura will turn blood red and radiate raw power. The user has 5 turns after activation to strike his opponent within the sealed arm before the chakra recedes. Holding it any longer will risk damaging the user’s own chakra network, potentially permanently. This technique combines a chakra immolation seal with a far more intricate series of seals with truly explosive effects that have one unfortunate purpose, to forcibly open all 8 of a persons internal chakra gates instantly. Gating even at lower levels takes extensive specialist training to endure and should be opened in stages to allow ones body to cope with the forces and pressure unleashed. In forcibly opening all 8 gates the toll on the body of the seal’s victim is unprecedented. The resultant chakra surge will instantly warp the victim’s chakra coils making further chakra manipulation impossible as well as causing unbelievable physical and mental pain as their chakra network is forcibly expanded beyond their natural limits, causing extensive internal injury. Unfortunately the worse is yet to come for the immolation seal has yet to activate. The user will do so remotely when at a safe distance and with horrific results. Under normal circumstances an immolation seal is stopped in its path with the victims chakra network sealing the nearest main tenketsu point to mitigate damage and stop its spread. However thanks to opening all the internal gats the chakra unleashed is so great that every tenketsu point is at bursting point, unable to seal itself, allowing for the immolation seals affects to spread throughout the victims chakra network. If the Nin in question is not on their knees before they will be now as their chakra system goes into critical mass and attacks the body directly melting their flesh from their bones. Superheated chakra will melt their eyes in seconds and pour out of the mouth and through there now empty eye sockets like beams of light. There skin will crack revealing a whirling vortex of chakra beneath. The screams of the victim and the eyrie light coming from them are all the warning those nearby will receive as a moment later then chakra within hits critical mass and explodes. The resulting explosion is unleashed as a sphere like wave of raw concentrate chakra reducing everything in the nearby vicinity to ash. The radius of the blast is dependant on the victim’s chakra reserves and is as follows:
Civilians: No blast
D Rank or Lower: 1m blast radius
C Rank: 3 m blast radius
B Rank: 10m blast radius
A Rank: 20m blast radius
S Rank: 30m blast radius
Subject: The Ichushiro Clan (Done)
