[u]The gentle fist[/u] - The Gentle Fist style of combat is based on palm strikes and generally aims to damage the body's Chakra Pathway System, thus creating difficulty by inhibiting an opponent's use of chakra. To do this, the user will forcefully insert a small amount of their own chakra into an opponent's chakra pathway system. The chakra can then be used to rupture or divert chakra flow, preventing them from using jutsu. Any chakra based substance can be countered/destroyed by using the gentle fist style to force chakra into it. This is done by using the chakra openings in ones hands to shape their own chakra into needles which can cut through chakra itself. It can also be used to attack the opponent's internal organs, to which the chakra pathway system is closely tied. Even the slightest tap from this style can cause major damage, hence the name "gentle fist." Because the chakra pathway system is invisible, the Byakugan is required for this style to be used effectively. Since the Byakugan is unique to the Hyūga clan, it has become their signature style of combat.

*Must have Taijutsu as a specialty, preferably main.

[b]Kekkei Genkai:[/b]
The Byakugan is a Dōjutsu Kekkei Genkai, a genetic trait, that is shared amongst the members of the Hyūga Clan. Those that inherit the blood of this clan have almost featureless white eyes. It has two different settings, dormant and activated, both of which take a slightly different appearance from the other form. The normal eye for a Hyuuga clan member differs from a normal human eye. The iris and pupil are barely discernable with both appearing a milky white in color. The pupil itself is larger than a typical humans and it is outlined by a black region. The sclera remains normal except the larger size of the pupil reduces ones ability to view it. Once the eye is fully activated, the hidden iris becomes more apparent. Also when providing blood and chakra for the eyes' bloodline vision, veins will bulge lateral to each eye.

The first ability of the Byakugan gives the user a near 360º field of vision, except for one blind spot at the back of the neck above the third thoracic vertebra. The second ability is having the ability to see through solid objects, and can use a degree of telescopic sight. The distance and the degree of telescopic sight varies from person to person. This is often determined by both rank and skill. At the genin level it can reach up to 100 meters. At Chunin this increases drastically reaching out to 400 meters. At jounin this goes up even more to 800 meters. A Kage level Hyuuga is capable of seeing up to 2km in all directions. However, the third and one of the greatest uses of the Byakugan is the ability to see chakra, as well as the chakra circulation system inside another's body. It is from this particular ability that they are able to employ their ultimate attack style: Gentle Fist. (see Clan Traits above).

Kaiten takes advantage of several of the unique abilities of the Byakugan eye. Byakugan gives the clan member an almost complete 360 degree view of their surroundings. This allows the member to see all angles of attack. If an attack is near, the clan member will release a large of amount of chakra from their tenketsu. The member then begins to spin like a top, creating a whirling vortex that can nullify almost any attack.

The Hyuuga are one of the oldest and most powerful clans in Konoha, being one of its two great Dojutsu clans. They aided in the founding of the leaf village, though played a much smaller role in its founding then the Senju and Uchiha did. They quickly established a high ranking amongst the ninja squadrons and became well known to all, just the mention of the Byakugan or the name Hyuuga wining an instant air of respect. Their clan is based highly on nobility and even with in itself has its own social structure.

The clan is split into two different families. One being known as the main and the other being the branch. This social division has always been their greatest flaw. The Main family often holds themselves to be higher up and more important then the branch family, and basically the branch is looked down upon like lesser individuals and sometimes even pawns which can be thrown away for the villages sake. To be looked at most appropriately, the Main are the Kings, and the Branch are the peasants. It even goes so far that a destructive seal is placed on the forehead of all Branch family members which can be used to instantly destroy a branch member if they do not follow the orders of the Main family.

In recent times, this wall has begun to get broken down, and the destructive seal is being used less and less. Cooperation is beginning to flourish between the two houses which is leading to prosperous outcomes. It is unknown if this will continue or if it is a momentary laps of peace. It will all come down to the heads of the clan for each generation, and it will be up to them to dictate which path will be taken, segregation, or unity.

[b]Clan Name:[/b] Uchiha
[b]Clan Location:[/b] Konoha
[b]Clan Traits:[/b]

The Uchiha have a number of traits which set them apart from the normal ninja. First off being that they all seem to have black hair. Also, every one in this clan has a main element of fire. They seem to be very proficient in the three basic jutsu arts of Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, and Taijutsu (This does not mean Uchiha characters can have three specialties), and are usually known as the elite brand of shinobi. Uchiha generally seem to work with their speed rather then raw brute strength and are very agile and quick.

* Must have Fire as a dominant or recessive element and either Ninjutsu, Taijutsu or Genjutsu as a specialty

[b]Kekkei Genkai:[/b]

Sharingan is the blood inheritance limit of the Uchiha Clan. The Uchiha are said to be descendants of the Hyuuga, with the Byakugan changing into the Sharingan over time. This doujutsu (eye skill) gives one the ability to read Genjutsu, Taijutsu and Ninjutsu and then defeat it. As such, the clan member can view a technique being performed and almost instantly memorize the movements required to be able to complete it, including the needed chakra moldings and seals used. However the clan member cannot copy techniques that are unique to another bloodline and the clan member must have a body capable of meeting the chakra and physical requirements to do the jutsu. This rarely stops the clan member though, as such stressful situations often push their limits farther and allow them to harness their full potential.

The Uchiha clan member is not granted the Sharingan at birth; it is only activated later in life, typically during a time of emotional stress in the heat of battle. The Sharingan itself can be transferred to another non-Uchiha by a medical ninja, such as happened with Leaf ninja Uchiha Obito to his teammate Hatake Kakashi. Because his body was not born to carry the Sharingan, the eye is always activated and it burns Kakashi's chakra when used. To lessen the impact of the Sharingan on Kakashi's body, he normally keeps the eye hidden and out of use. Also of note, is the fact Kakashi, a non-Uchiha, was able to advance the Sharingan from two tomoe to three tomoe after gaining the eye.

The Sharingan itself contains three tomoe (comma). A higher mastery of the Sharingan can be seen in the creation of a new tomoe in the eye, with three tomoe being the typical highest form of the eye. The rare Mangekyou form is a unique evolution of the Sharingan beyond the three tomoe form, please see its entry for more information. An eye possessing two tomoe can allow the Uchiha clan member to track the movement of an opponent and do some minor copying of an opponents attack. For avoiding incoming attacks, the Uchiha's speed and agility will greatly control whether they can move to avoid it. However, three tomoe will greatly help in this area.

Two tomoe will also allow the ninja to pierce Genjutsu and see the surrounding reality for what it really is. It can also allow the member to pierce another’s body and see their chakra. While the eye is not refined enough to see the tenketsu and chakra circulatory system like the Byakugan, it can view the movement and flow of chakra. This can help them tell if a person is trapped in a Genjutsu, or if an attacker is a real threat or merely a bunshin.

An eye containing three tomoe will allow the ninja to see the image of an attacker’s next move from the slightest muscle tension in their body. This prevents wasteful movement and allows the Uchiha clan member to conserve much needed chakra in battle. It allows them to synchronize their movement to strike at an area moments before their opponent is even in that spot, essentially allowing them to strike out and hit their opponent before they're even there.

Three tomoe also grants the Uchiha the ability to do Genjutsu and hypnosis after locking eyes with an enemy. This can be used to cause their opponent to do an attack of the Uchiha's choosing. This hypnosis can also be used as a Genjutsu counter, which is the ability to turn a Genjutsu spell back upon the original caster without the requirement of forming any hand seals.

The Mangekyō Sharingan ( Literally meaning Kaleidoscope Copy Wheel Eye) is a heightened form of Sharingan. The Mangekyō Sharingan gives the user access to powerful and forbidden techniques. The Mangekyō Sharingan is distinguished from a normal Sharingan through its appearance, which changes the form of the tomoe seal. Unlike in the case of the Sharingan, the appearance of the Mangekyō Sharingan differs from user to user. The Mangekyō Sharingan gives the user access to several powerful techniques, and erodes the eyesight of its users, eventually causing blindness, which can be alleviated by obtaining another pair of Mangekyō Sharingan from a sibling. The new Sharingan is dubbed the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. The techniques used by this eye vary from person to person and is limited to one technique per eye. It can be achieved by the killing of someone who is very close to the user as a display of being willing to sacrifice anything for power. This can not be fooled and be a fake friend. It must be a real and true strong connection so it takes a certain kind of individual to be able to get it. It can also be gotten by extremely brutal and long training, taking many years to obtain of constant hard work and dedication, though the person can not be aiming for it and it actually just happens at random. Even with the hardest work, it is possible for an Uchiha to never achieve this level of eye mastery.

The Uchiha clan was descended from the elder of the two boys entrusted by the Sage of the Six Paths with the power and will of the way of the ninja. The elder believed that might would bring peace. The Sage chose the younger as more fitting to be his successor, causing the elder to be vengeful. From the younger boy descended the Senju clan who would be the eternal rivals of the Uchiha. Before the founding of the ninja villages, the Uchiha were one of the many mercenary clans for hire. Because of their Sharingan, the Uchiha clan came to be known as one of the two strongest clans, the second being the Senju clan. Madara Uchiha was particularly powerful, and, upon attaining the Mangekyō Sharingan, he took control of the clan. Under his leadership the Uchiha grew stronger, conquering whatever clans they came upon, such that, whenever the Uchiha clan was hired for a job, the opposing side would hire the Senju.

Hashirama Senju, the leader of the Senju clan, grew tired of the endless fighting, and approached the Uchiha clan with a peace treaty. Madara feared that an alliance would lead the Uchiha to ruin, but his clan disagreed, and he was forced to accept. The two clans came together to form Konoha, with Hashirama being selected as Hokage. Madara believed that this was proof that the Uchiha would be made subservient to the Senju, but his clan saw this only as his attempt to rekindle the flames of war. They turned their backs on him, and he defected. Following Madara's betrayal, the Second Hokage gave the Uchiha control of the Konoha Military Police Force as a sign of trust. According to Madara, this was really just a way of keeping the Uchiha in check and out of Konoha's governing affairs. Over the years, some Uchiha have figured out this motive's true meaning, and tried to rebel against the village as Madara did, but they found that it was too little, too late to make a difference, as the Senju had already completely suppressed the Uchiha. Eventually a revolt was attempted by a select few Uchiha members, but this was crushed quickly and they were thrown in jail or put to death based on their role in the uprising. The Uchiha who did not partake in it, were not held accountable and after that the relations between the Uchiha and the rest of the village grew stronger and trust was finally instilled.

[b]Clan Name:[/b] Aburame

[b]Clan Location:[/b] Konoha

[b]Clan Traits:[/b] The Aburame clan is a clan characterized by their use of insects as weapons. The insects live in symbiosis within the body of the shinobi. At birth, members of this clan are offered to a special breed of insects called destruction bugs as a nest, residing just under their host's skin. The insects can leave and enter through various pores, apparently by eating their way through the skin. They feed on chakra as a food source, making them quite deadly. The relationship between the shinobi and the insects is mutually beneficial. The host grants the bugs shelter and allows them to feed off their chakra, their body becoming a living hive, and in return the bugs do the user's bidding, allowing the shinobi to perform ninjutsu-like techniques without the use of hand seals or chakra conversion.

A female bug can be left on a target, which then can be tracked by smell by the male bug, or scout bugs can be sent out and return to tell the host information about the area. For this reason, Aburame clan members are experts in espionage; they can communicate with the bugs, and the bugs specialize in stealth because they make no noise or motion during combat. In addition to utilizing insects in battle, the Aburame clan also studies insects. They were rivals of the Kamizuru clan, the bee users, until they defeated them in battle. A major defining trait of the Aburame clan is that all of its known members wear dark sunglasses that hide their eyes as well as jackets that cover part of their face.

[b]Clan Name:[/b] Nara

[b]Clan Location:[/b] Konoha

[b]Clan Traits:[/b]

To begin with, all members of the clan seem to have black spiky hair and soft boyish faces. Also they are usually of a lighter build and not muscular. They tend to have lower chakra reserves, but a very high chakra control to make up for it. Typically, it is the men who become ninja, but every so often a woman will join the ranks as well. All the men are classified genius's with IQ's that are generally higher then the mark of 200. They tend to be lazy and unwilling to work however, but they do have a strong will and hold greatly the term "comrade" as one of the most important words in their vocabulary.

The focus of their jutsu is a secret to other ninja, and only they can utilize it. The jutsu focus on the manipulation and control of their own shadow. Largely this revolves around one singular jutsu known as the Kage Mane or otherwise called Shaodw Imitation (see clan jutsu for more info), and this branches off into other various techniques. By Connecting their shadows to other shadows, they can cause the target to freeze by using chakra and the shadows as a medium for their control. When caught in this the opponent will mimic any movement the caster makes, but speech and thought remains independent. The opponents chakra system is also unaffected by this. Furthermore they can stretch their shadows a considerable length, up to 10m in total past its normal length, whatever that may be at the time by thinning the shadow out. This of course is not usable during the times of night. They can also use the shadows of other things to extend the length of their own by again using the shadows as a medium. They can not use lesser shadows for this, in other words, a shadow which is fainter then their own shadow, to extend it. Also it only extends by the length of the shadow it passed through and does not actually increase the size of their shadow.

After forming the needed hand seals, the clan member is able to manipulate their shadow along any surface. By using other nearby shadows they can further extend the reach of their shadow, however they are limited to the surface area of the original cast shadow. Once the clan members shadow reaches the target shadow, it will attach itself. While attached the target will be frozen, only able to replicate in mirror form the actions of the clan member. If the clan member is low on chakra, the Kage Mane will falter and the shadow will return to its normal form. This drains a D rank amount of chakra for every post that the target is kept with in it and escalates to a C rank amount or more if the opponent tries to fight it depending on the extent to which they attempt to fight it off.

If their target has a lot of chakra, they can turn back the shadow hand and prevent it from binding their neck.

The Nara clan is known for their manipulation of shadows and tending of deer, which graze in a large area of Nara clan forest. They have kept a book with medicine preparations and effects for generations which imply they are skilled in the area of medicine. Among the medicine described in this book are the secret pills used by the Akimichi clan. Despite being considered geniuses, the men from this family are prone to being lazy and hard to motivate. Ironically, they tend to be attracted to stern, overbearing women. However, there appear to be other factors as well. The Nara men seem to hold women in high esteem, and as a result, willingly defer to their female partners. An old Nara quote states "Without women, men can't be born. Without women, men go to ruin. Even the hardest of women will show a sweet side to the man she loves and respects."

The Nara clan seems to have a special relationship with the Akimichi clan and Yamanaka clan. Members of these three families have formed an "Ino-Shika-Cho trio,"  quite often, named after the first part of the names of the members. The Nara members are the Shika in the trio. "Ino," "Shika" and "Cho" are the names of three cards needed for a highly prized trick of "Inoshikacho" in the Hanafuda

[b]Clan Location:[/b] Konoha

[b]Clan Traits:[/b] This clan also focuses on one main jutsu for the most part which they expand off of into various directions with variations or advancements of the technique. There abilities focus on the enlarging of their bodies or body parts into abnormal size which increases the effectiveness of their taijutsu with power and area it covers, making it harder to avoid. However, these jutsu take up a considerable amount of chakra to maintain as well, so they are constantly eating to keep their reserves up. By proxy, this makes the males somewhat chubby, if not, large individuals and they are often teased in their younger years for this. The womem are very good with their food by eating ones that will replenish their supply yet keep them not over sized. They are bigger then other average women, but are proportionate all around. 

Furthermore, if they do run out of chakra, they carry with them specific food pills which can replenish their chakra by converting their fat into it, but this comes at the price of their health and can cause sickness and in some cases death depending on the person and level of pill used. There are three different levels of these pills. The lowest is the green pill and will transfer only some of their fat reserves into chakra raising it by 25%. This causes only a sickness in the body that will last the rest of the day after the effects wear off about an hour later. The second pill, the yellow one, converts more fat and raises there chakra by 50%. This will make them bed ridden for about a week after the effects have worn off. The third pill transfer all fat reserves into chakra making them extremely skinny and fast, but the cost is the users life once the battle is over unless they receive medical attention immediately.

[b]History:[/b] [center][table border="1"][tr][td][img]http://i460.photobucket.com/albums/qq328/YeegniY/Akimichi.gif[/img][/tr][/td][/table][/center]

One of the Noble clans of Konoha, along with the Uchiha, the Hyuuga and the Senju, the Akimichi has a long and heroic history in Konoha. Their looks make them easy to underestimate but their clan abilities give them great physical strength and they have the courage to match it. What the Akimichi are best known for is their ability to control their metabolism, altering the size of their body and their large chakra reserves. An Akimichi can gain an almost instant source of energy from what he eats and then use it to crush the enemy as he suddenly becomes a powerful giant. Considering how they gain their powers, the Akimichi reputation as big eaters is fully deserved. This makes most of the clansmen fit the stereotype quite accurately: the Akimichi ninja are usually large men who rely on taijutsu and clan techniques to get them through a fight.

The females are a little different in this aspect. Though female taijutsu fighters aren't unheard of among the Akimichi, very few of them let their bodies grow in girth like the men do. The Akimichi women are usually big-boned but keep the right proportions. The knowledge of food that comes with living in the clan makes them very good at dieting and so they have no problem keeping the desired weight. They also use more subtle methods, as expected from kunoichi. A big body can be developed to look voluptuous and an expert on food can easily become an expert on poisons.

[b]Clan Location:[/b] Konoha

[b]Clan Traits:[/b] There is only one large distinguishing physical trait of the Yamanaka clan and that is their natural blue eyed blonde hair appearance. Members of this clan are big into studying flowers and so they know how to utilize what the flowers can provide in a scientific/medical way. Therefore, they are typically medics. Largely, this clan takes mental warfare to a whole other level, having the main frame of their techniques focus on the opponents mind rather then their body or chakra network. This also gives them heightened mental powers of their own. This is further explained in their jutsu.

[b]Name:[/b] Mind Transfer Jutsu
[b]Type:[/b] Ninjutsu
[b]Rank:[/b] C
[b]Element:[/b] -
[b]Description:[/b] This technique allows the user to enter the mind of another person or even an animal.[2] The user transfers their consciousness to the opponent, giving them complete control of the body for a short period of time. Their original body is left defenseless while this jutsu is active, leaving it susceptible to attack until they return. The mind transfer is slow-moving, moves in a straight direction, and takes some time to return to the user's body if it misses. Because of these reasons it should only be used on immobilized targets. Similarly, if the opponent's will is strong enough, they can force the user from their body. Lastly, should any physical injury befall the victim's body while the mind-link is active, it would cause the user's body to also receive those same injuries. For example, should the victim's arm be detached, the user's arm would be detached as well, leading to the conclusion that, should the victim die, the user would also die. Drains a C rank amount of chakra per post.

[b]Description:[/b] This technique is a variation on the Mind Body Switch Technique. Rather than transfer all of the user's consciousness into the target, this jutsu sends only a spirit of confusion, causing them to attack their allies. Although the target is aware of what they are doing, they are unable to stop themselves. This technique can also be used to simply stun the opponent so they can't move. This can also be used to transfer the user and target to a nearby location (50m away, no more). Drains A B rank amount of chakra per post.

[b]Type:[/b] Ninjutsu
[b]Rank:[/b] A
[b]Element:[/b] -
[b]Description:[/b] This jutsu utilizes puppetry as well as the Mind Transfer Jutsu. The user will first transfer their consciousness into a puppet. Then they will control the puppet directly with their mind and attack the opponent. When the opponent attacks the puppet, the minds will switch, placing the opponent in the puppet, and the Yamanaka user into the victim. This leaves their body very open for attack, and also, any damage the victim receives will also be done to the user as long as this jutsu is in place. Drains an A rank amount of chakra per post.

The Yamanaka Clan is one of the newer additions to Konoha's Ranks. They were once a secret group of people, hiding in the wilderness and forests of what is now called the Land of Fire. Their unique jutsu was developed by honing their 'influential' attitude and ability to 'communicate' with other animals and people in the forests. The were a independent, and often reclusive people, but often had contact with the Nara and Akimichi Clans, and soon realized their talents as a group. This would be known as the Ino-Shika-Cho trio; a deceptive, yet devastating combination.

They joined Konoha after their homeland was destroyed by the raging demon. Their greatest heroes, including their clan leader, all went to fight against the demon, only to be destroyed so quickly. They were all in awe when their clan was left defenseless, especially in such a destructive time. Their leaders for the past hundreds of years have demanded solitude and independence from the Villages, and their affairs. After this, they had no where else to go. The Hokage at the time accepted them, after finding out about their past and powers. Shinobi were needed to fill the Konoha Ranks, and the Yamanaka were their to help. Whether as support ninja, or ANBU away from site from the rest of the world, the Yamanaka have never ceased to fail to support Konoha.

[b]Clan Name:[/b] Inuzaka

[b]Clan Location:[/b] Konoha

[b]Clan Traits:[/b] This clan has a large infatuation with the dog species. Rarely will a clan member be seen with out their canine companion which all of them have. All of their clan jutsu incorporate the usage of their dogs and could almost be considered another ninja with the level they are utilized at, quite often using the same jutsu as their human master. The dogs are often regular sized puppies, nothing to large from the beginning, and are usually in this stage for the duriation of the time the ninja is a genin, and part of their chunin. When the ninja is about 15, the puppy will go through a giant growth spurt, at least quadrupling in size. These dogs are bred specially and do not age in normal dog years and can live as long as a human. This was done so that a clansmen would not have to constantly replace  companions because they often grow very attached to their dogs.

Inuzaka clan members also take on some very dog like characteristics in their body and also in their personality. Typically they are very brash and up front, being very animalistic and instinctual. This can cause them to come off as confrontational. Their canines are sharper then most, resembling that of dogs, and they have increased senses of smell, being able to track like a dog with little effort. They also always have red face paint on, which is the symbol of their clan.

[b]Description:[/b] A modified version/mix of a Transformation Technique and a clone technique, this jutsu, unique to the Inuzuka clan, allows a canine-user to transform their animal companion into a perfect copy of themselves. When combined with the Four Legs Technique, the user and the animal become virtually impossible to tell apart, since both act equally animalistic. Like any transformation, the jutsu can be broken by identifying and attacking the animal, thus dispelling the transformation

[b]Element:[/b] -
[b]Description:[/b] This technique grants animal-like accelerated fighting instinct and reflexes. By stretching chakra around one's entire body and moving on all fours, one obtains super-high speed, like that of a wild animal. Taught only to the members of the Inuzuka clan, this technique forms the basis of a Inuzuka clan member's Taijutsu fighting style, and will add even more to their feral-like appearances; their canine teeth and their finger-and-toenails grow to claw-like length, their eyes become more wild. When under the effects of this jutsu, an Inuzuka will display feats of physical strength, speed, and endurance when they are in this state. The form is best suited for using and supporting the ferocious hit-and-run tactics that the Inuzuka clan are known well for.

[b]Element:[/b] -
[b]Description:[/b]  A way to be able to track the target with out using site has to be in place for this to work. After  this t, both the User and his companion use Man Beast Combination : Double-Headed Wolf to become a large, two-headed wolf. The two then perform a much more powerful Dual Piercing Fang attack. Like the lesser version, they spin rapidly to attack their target. Unlike the previous version, however, they move so rapidly that they can't see where they're going, hence the reason for the earlier for tracking with out sight, which allows them to track their opponents usually by scent. This attack is powerful enough to cut a person in two, and even tear through steel. Even if the attack misses, its speed is so great that the surrounding air can slice like a blade. Such power is not without its drawbacks, however. Not only does this attack effectively blind both users for its duration, but it tires them such that they can only perform it three times at chunin rank.

The Inuzuka clan (犬塚一族, Inuzuka Ichizoku) or Inuzuka family (犬塚家, Inuzuka-ke) is known for their use of dogs (some clan members prefer wolves) as fighting companions. Clan members are apparently given their own canine partner or partners when they reach a certain age. Thereafter, the shinobi and his/her dog(s) are practically inseparable. Clan members have distinctive red fang markings on their cheeks, animalistic eyes, and enlarged canine teeth. It would seem that due to the bond between a Inuzuka clan member and their canine partner(s), their chakra is allowed to mix and is shared between them, adding a feral appearance to the human partners, and makes a bond between then that affords them the use of the clan's collaboration-style techniques, such as the Dual Piercing Fang technique.

[b]Clan Location:[/b] Kiri

[b]Clan Traits:[/b] -

*Must have Water and Wind As elements

[b]Kekkei Genkai:[/b] The Bloodline limit of the Koori clan is purely elemental. This meaning that they are one of the few ninja in the world that on top of the regular elements that all ninja have an opportunity of access to, they can also access a singular advanced element. All members of this clan have the basic elements of wind and water. They can combine the properties and fundamentals of both to create the ice element. This is done by the wind chakras adding a chilled factor to the water chakras, causing it become an over all colder chakra. When exuded from the body, its heat level is to low to be  liquefied water, and instead takes the form of solid ice.

All of their clan jutsu focus around this singular concept of creating and manipulating ice. A user is capable of taking pre-existing bodies of water, large or small, and manipulating them into ice, as well as pre-existing ice formations and using them for their techniques. This ice is generally very durable and difficult to break, taking an excessive amount of physical damage for most techniques, and is also, in contradiction to naturally occurring ice, displays a resistance to fire, though is not purely immune to it its melting effects.

Twelve remain at ground level, eight are placed above the first twelve and angled toward the ground, and the final mirror is above the rest and facing the ground. They can then enter one of the mirrors and instantly transport to another mirror. While moving about he bombards the opponent with attacks at very high speeds, such that the rest of the world appear to be moving in slow motion compared to him. If the mirror the user is in is broken, they can leap out of one of the fragments and continue their attack or move to another mirror. The technique requires a large amount of chakra to maintain, so Their movement becomes progressively slower the longer they maintains the mirrors. Roughly a B ranked amount every two posts. Though they are made from ice, the mirrors are imbued with enough chakra to resist fire almost completely

[b]Description:[/b] This technique requires the user to use either water from underground which they can bring up, ice underground which they can bring up, or water in the air in a highly saturated environment. If using water as a source it will cost an extra D rank amount of chakra due to having to freeze it first. The user can then trap their opponent within the ice by controlling its movements and completely surrounding them in the ice. This jutsu is strong enough to withstand basic fire jutsu, because the ice has already been infused with the user's chakra. This allows this jutsu to double as a defensive technique, by the user encasing themselves in the ice.

[b]Description:[/b] This justu unleashes great spikes of ice that come out from the users body. They cannot be specifically controlled and are not for attack, strictly defense for a quick and uncontrolled technique. They do not bear any resistance to fire as some other Koori Ice jutsu do. The Ice created from this can be further used for other Ice techniques as well. This defense is fairly weak and can be shattered with the simplest of techniques of almost any kind only being able to turn aside the most basic taijutsu (simple punches and kicks with no chakra added), and basic weaponary (simple nonenhanced metal or wooden weapons with no added chakra capabilities.)

The Koori clan are The Mist Villages second most well known clan as its co-founder and unique ability to manipulate and create the ice element. In the time before the great villages were constructed they were one of the lesser clans for hire but they were still well known all the same and held a certain level of respect and honor. Unlike the accursed Kaguya clan they are actually quite peaceful by nature though quite deadly in battle.  Despite there grand foothold in the society of Kiri, they at one point, just like the Kaguya were persecuted by the normal villagers for there arcane abilities which were beyond what normal shinobi could do. There faith in the village never wavered though, and unlike the Kaguya, they never struck back against there critics.

When the Kaguya rebellion came to pass, they led the resistance to the struggle and were the main cause for the ending of the feud. As a result of this they single handedly brought their village closer together and ended the persecution, the two clans gaining more respect and stature then ever before amongst their home. For many years they have served as the primary protectors of the village and its most well known family name.

[b]History:[/b] [center][table border="1"][tr][td][img]http://i751.photobucket.com/albums/xx160/DSFalcon/Senju.png[/img][/td][/tr][/table][/center]
 
The Senju clan was descended from the younger of the two brothers chosen by the Sage of the Six Paths to inherit the way of the ninja. He was born with the "body" of the sage, and he believed that love was the key to peace. This led to the sage choosing him as his successor causing his older brother to attack him out of hatred. Eventually, the Uchiha clan was descended from this older brother and resulted in the bitter rivalry of the Senju and Uchiha.

The Senju clan gained their fame in the era before the founding of the hidden villages. Where other clans focused on mastering one particular skill, the Senju were masters in all skills, from ninjutsu, to taijutsu, to genjutsu. Because of this, they were feared as "the clan with a thousand skills", which gave them their name Senju ("a thousand skills", "a thousand hands"). The most famous member of the clan was their leader, Hashirama Senju. His unique Wood Release ninjutsu even gave the clan the nickname the Senju clan of the Forest . This Wood Release, and his ability to control the tailed beasts, made him the greatest shinobi of his time. The Senjus' place at the top of the shinobi world was undisputed, but there was one clan that was able to stand up to them: the Uchiha clan. Whenever one country hired the Senju, their enemies would hire the Uchiha, and vice versa. This led to a rivalry between the two clans and, more specifically, between the leaders of the clans, Hashirama and Madara Uchiha.

However, in a world of constant bloodshed, Hashirama had a dream of peace, and a great love for his fellow men. Known as the "Will of Fire" , this belief made the Senju clan propose a truce to the Uchiha clan. Weary of fighting, and persuaded by Hashirama's great charisma and negotiation abilities, the Uchiha accepted, ending their bloody rivalry. Only Madara was against this truce, believing the Senju would one day destroy the Uchiha clan. He was forced to accept, but his humiliation wouldn't end there.

Some time after the alliance between the Senju and the Uchiha was signed, the Land of Fire hired them to stabilize its borders, and the clans created a permanent settlement within the country. Thus, Konohagakure was founded, and, with it, the system of one Hidden Village per country. As the system spread throughout the world, the constant violence stopped, and Hashirama's dream began to become a reality. From that point on the Senjuu have been highly revered in Konoha as one of their great families and some of the most powerful ninja in their ranks.

Shikotsumyaku

The main capabilities of Shikotsumyaku is allowing the user to manipulate their bones' growth. This allows them to create weapons of bones that can either protrude from any part of the body, or pulled out and used like hand held weapons. They can even fire pieces of their bones as long-ranged projectiles. Any bone that they remove from the body immediately regenerates, as does the skin that is damaged when the bones are removed. Users can increase the density of the created bones, making them stronger than steel. This not only makes the created weapons very powerful, but also makes their bodies virtually indestructible.

In all actuality there ability to manipulate bones does not come directly from their KKG but is the more prominet result of their bloodlines true ability, which also explains there capabilities. In reality The Kaguya are capable of controling and increasing the calcium in their bodies. This translates quite easy into bone manipulation as bones are made up mostly by calcium. This is why bone manipulation is not considered an advanced element.

First the body is divided into areas from which the cost is associated with. These are left arm, right arm, left leg, right leg, the chest, and upper back. Now when this jutsu is used the bones are free to grow from four of these places. To access the other divisions of the body for this jutsu, they must pay an extra C rank amount of chakra per section. They are able to grow these bones at such a fast rate that they can impale a target as they grow, but are limted to extending to a foot and a half past the body.

[b]History:[/b] [center][table border="1"][tr][td][img]http://www.tribalshapes.com/img/tattoos/bone.gif[/img][/tr][/td][/table][/center]

The Kaguya are on of the Mist Villages oldest and most well renown families. They aided in its founding and have been held in high standard for most of their long career as a clan. Despite this fact, typically the Kaguya are a barbaric race of men, holding battle above all else, with no regard for well being or others. To them battle is the only joy, and only battle for the joys of killing and causing blood shed. It is for this great many reasons that the Kaguya could be considered the Uchiha equivalent of the Mist Village.

Despite their great honor as the protectors of the Mist Village, they at one point were also quite feared and with good reason. They were very brutal and their arcane methods seemed very grotesque to those not in the shinobi ranks. Not to mention the sheer and utter masochism that tore through their ranks. As a result there were unjustly persecuted and more or less socially out-casted, only to be used as tools of war by the village. In response, the Kaguya planned an uprising against their government. It was short lived however, as they were quickly squashed by the honorable Koori clan, though not totally destroyed. In the end negotiations were went under way and the persecution ceased on the Kaguya as did their uprising. As a result an added sense of peace and honor has been instilled into the Kaguya clan, and while still holding a distinct blood lust, have over the years, become much more civilized then there fore fathers.

[i][u]Sand Manipulation[/u][/i]

The members of this clan hav a very unique ability to manipulate sand as though it were an extension of themselves in terms of ultimate defense and ultimate offense. It is said to be one of the most dangerous and effective tools a ninja of the sand village can have. The members of this clan have unique chakra with in themselves that allow them to do this, and it is not a mix of two elements, rather it is a new off set basic element and as such is the main element of all ninja who wield it. (This meaning that all ninja in this clan can only have sand and a sub element contrary to advanced element clans which allow three elements.) However, they can not create sand just from their chakra (another difference from advanced elements) and need a source of sand to use their jutsu. For this reason, many find a way to carry sand with them at all times.

This ability is largely tied into their history and founding from the ninja Gaara, the very first Kazekage and founder of the Village Hidden in the Sand as well. The man was imbibed with a demonic beast known as Shikaku, the sand demon. Having the demons influence his entire life, it altered his very genetic structure, granting him the natural ability to manipulate sand with his will at the expense of chakra. Being that the demon provided a mutation on a genetic level, this trait was passed to his children, and the children of his children. Being that this derived from one person alone, and by comparison is a relatively new clan, it is small by comparison to other clans, but  is abundant enough to be considered a clan.

Though quite effective, maintaining the armor requires a large amount of chakra and stamina. Furthermore, it is nowhere as resilient as the Shield of Sand, since it easily breaks away upon impact, meaning that the sole purpose of the armor is to absorb impact channeled unto the body during battle. And will reduce the impact of all taijutsu and weaponary by 75% effectiveness. Another weakness is the additional weight of the sand means a decrease of speed and mobility. It takes a D rank amount of chakra PER POST to keep it activated (not counting the first post used).

[b]Description:[/b] This uses an enormous quantity of sand to completely envelop the target from every direction and capture them.

The clan started with the man Known as Gaara Sabure, Ironically his last name meaning sand. It is unknown if this was his given last name at birth or a change made later on with the birth of his children and the underlying creation of the clan. At birth the man was imbibed with a demon known as Shikaku who was known to all as the demon of sand. It was a fairly wicked demon, but precautions took by the family of the child and thier friends created barriers to which the demon could not come out and control the child as it would have liked. In desperation the demon tried to fuse itself physically with the boy at a genetic level but was not able to over come his strong will. In the end this only granted him the ability to manipulate the sands of the earth and gave the demon no more control then before.

The man later became known as one of the greatest Shinobi of his time and became the founder of the village in the sand, creating the structures and everything from the desert itself using his powers granted by the accursed demon. He was known as a hero and was one of the most respected founding Kage's. He eventually wed and his wife bore unto him children. Three. These three all showed the natural talent to manipulate the sands and so was revealed that the ability was a dominant trait and that it would be passed down through the ages so long as his children and their children and so on continued to create new life. With the passing of Gaara also came the passing of the demon, and his death day became known as a holiday for a celebration of his life and also the destruction of a threatening demon who was no more.
