Sookato

Name: Sookato
Founder: Hiei Sookato
Location: Scattered

History:
The sookato clan is one of the most ancient in the ninja world. It is also said to be one of the most powerful and fit for battle. Their founder was Hiei Sookato, a man of great nobility, wealth, and respect. He was well known through out the whole world during his own generations time. Before the villages were amassed, they acted as gypsy's traveling where they saw fit and randomly choosing causes to support, free of charge. All they asked for was shelter, supplies, and food. They were always welcome by all and were a fear to see on the battle field. There stipulatons for taking a cause were only two in number, and very simple and plain. 1. They had to have some kind of fighting involved somewhere down the line and also, it had to be a good noble cause only fit for the betterment of man kind. Typically they took up jobs which would in the end bring groups closer together and unify man into a singular understanding and whole. They did not work for dictators or evil men or cause, and they were very good judges of character.

When the idea of the villages were brought forth, they again, were happy to help. They worked endlessly, but did nothing to aid in the construction itself. Instead that sat idley by untill terrorist factions who were against the villages made threatening gestures and the Sookato would proceed to wipe them out, often in a single night. It was quite clear that the villages were going to happen, and the only result of trying to stop it would be death. The threats stopped and the villages were completed as originally planned. However, in return, they refused to join anyone village, setting them self up as a group that worked in the shadows, no longer known to the villages even, protecting them from threats which would appear, eliminating them often before the villages themselves knew about them. They were forgotten in time, and they were pleased with this, as it was not in a Sookato's nature to take credit for their deeds. What they did was in their nature, and deemed it unnecessary to have any high praise for what came to them instinctually.

Then the wars between nations began to break out. What once was seen as an act to unify man even further began to divide them in new and more profound ways. As the wars broke out, the Sookato turned their backs in disgust, not wanting to intervene and make themselves known again, and removed themselves, setting up a permanent village of their own that had no dealings with the other countries on the other side of the mountains. Here they lived for many years in peace, though they continued to train themselves as warriors always, because fighting was there love, and a matter of security was needed. For them though, mostly, fighting was little more then a sport, for not many threats arose. This did not cause them to get comfortable, for they knew that would be their biggest mistake, but in the end, it didnt matter. By secluding themselves, they had know way of knowing the threat that came for them, and they were ill prepared for this kind of attack. 10 S rank missing nin infiltrated them, the methods unknown, and systematically began the attack, targeting their most important buildings first, destroying many of their most powerful warriors with out even a struggle, and the rest was childs play.

They used it for a training exercise for their faction, though they were later defeated by an unknown hand. They had had an inside man who wanted to reconnect with the rest of the world, but they did not spare his life either, so his wishes were for naught. Only one survived. Ibuki Sookato. The boy made his way and joined up in the ranks of the Leaf village. There he learned life as a shinobi to a fuller extent and raised to the ranks of jounin and had a son, Taku. The survival of their clan rests on their shoulders.

Special Info:

Naturally High Chakra

All shinobi with in the Sookato clan are naturally high chakra capacity types. This meaning that they all have a greater supply of chakra then That of the average shinobi of their rank. Typically this is up at 25% greater. A few percetange, the not as talented ones, have 10%% greater, and a few of the most skilled have 50% greater then average. This also grants for a greater amount of jutsu usage possible in battle.

Requirements: Be born from a Sookato parent
Current Members: Ibuki, Taku

Name of the Kekkei Genkai: Oniryouken/Pure Chakra Manipulation
Type of Kekkei Genkai: Dojutsu/Unique Ninjutsu
Rank: D-S

Description:

Pure Chakra Manipulation

The members of the Sookato clan have the ability to convert chakra into a more raw and physical form of itself which rather then manipulating into something else similar fire can be used directly to harm or hinder there opponents.

This secondary form is both more crude and unstable and takes the appearance of a part gaseous but liquid material, not dissimilar to plasma (only not heated). This cruder form is all the more striking since it is also coloured and comes in various hues of blue, purple and eventually black depending on the amount of concentrated chakra used.

The chakra is particularly unstable and highly corrosive and while largely impossible to use for subtle manipulation or genjutsu its rare form can be weaponised through various crude feats of manipulation. Due to its dark and unstable nature, the result of imbalance between spiritual and physical energy used in its creation, it can cause untold physical damage to anything it touches. Its corrosive force is so great that it can with enough chakra reduce almost any material object to slag. Physical barriers pose little problems to it and are weak against direct attacks. Chakra based attacks and defences however remain as effective against this raw form as they are against true chakra.

Oniryouken - Demon Hound Eye

The eyes of the Sookato, as illustrated below, are completely black, so telling them apart from other ninja is not difficult at all unless they have their eyes covered. Many of them where strips of cloth or tinted glasses to hide this distinguishing feature. Some, with out care, choose to sport their eyes for all to see and recognize, not particularly caring who knows their clan before a battle begins, believing that it does not matter. The princible of the doujutsu is not exactly unique, and neither is the way it does it, however, the way it is presented, is. The eye is a sensory type eye, and is one of the most powerful of its kind. This is the only part of the clan that really changes with a ninjas rank. It has the ability to sense all types of chakra instinctively, being able to distinguish different types with out having to focus in order to sense anything. To a sookato this skill is just like seeing or hearing. It can help the sookato determine the nature of an attack by reading the chakra in terms of amount, type of chakra, chakra density, etc. All this does is provide subtle knowledge which could ultimately help counter it. However, the sookato would still need a fairly high IQ to piece together these bits of information in order for it to be useful in any way. Also it can obviously alert the ninja that they are in a genjutsu fairly quickly, as genjutsu is caused by chakra in the brain. It does nothing to prevent it but serves as a warning alarm. The shinobi must still have the skill to break free from it in order to break out. This can help a shinobi greatly by allowing him to 'see' what his eyes can not actually capture through images. The sensing of chakra is not seeing it, but is more like simply knowing its there, feeling its pressence. The basic skill is a universal one, but the Demon Hound Eye takes it to a whole different level unheard of amongst shinobi outside their clan.

Jutsu:

• Name: Supernova
• Rank: A
• Element: Fire
• Requirements: Sookato Clan & Fire Element
• Description: This is a technique developed by and known only too and usable only by Taku. The main reason is that this jutsu not only utilizes not only the fire element, but also the potent Sookato chakra. This is essential an upgrade of the chakra bomber attack. In a nut shell, Taku brings both his fire and clan's chakra into his hand(s) creating a swirling ball of both chakras which mix into a brand new chakra of pure plasma. As soon as the ball gets to the desired sized, it must be released to hover in the air, as it mixes and turns into the new form due to its intense heat. It must sustain itself for a few moments before it suddenly grows to heavy and crashes down into the ground. As it crashes into the ground, its mass spreads outwards in a circular direction for 35m radius (70m diameter). As it hits, it heats the ground to such a point that it liquidizes into a burning hot substance similar to that of magma. It also creates a blast of intensely heated wind whose temperatures are half that of solar winds. They extend as far as the shock-wave. The ground splits in crags in various directions, making an even footing impossible.

• Name: Chakra Shuriken
• Rank: C
• Element: N/A
• Requirements: Sookato Clan
• Description: Taku fires a small balst of chakra from his hand, and though the technique is called "shuriken" the resemblance is better placed with a kunai. it is made only of chakra and nearly impossible to block with out the use of jutsu because it is made of the highly destructive sookato chakra.

• Name: Chakra Blade
• Rank: B
• Element: N/A
• Requirements: Sookato Clan
• Description: This is an extremely diverse and powerful technique, inspired by the wind blade jutsu that some wind users like to use. It can be used in two different ways. The first is when it is used to cover a bladed weapon for extra piercing ability which exceeds that which is given by wind. The weapon does not need to be chakra conductive as Taku simply wraps the veil around the weapon. Using this he can also levitate the weapon by manipulating his chakra and control them through the air via hand motions. The second way he can use it is by simply creating a single blade out of chakra not around another blade which is good for a one time attack but he can create many in rapid succession. In this way they look just like a 4 foot arc of chakra, and like the wind blade, can not be blocked except by a ninjutsu or similar technique.

• Name: Chakra Cage
• Rank: A
• Element: N/A
• Requirements: Sookato Clan
• Description: To use this jutsu, the user must make several hand/signs and then slam their hands on the ground. Instantly a pulsation of energy will spread out which does not cause any damage or have any effects to any individual. However, when it reaches twenty meters across from the other side of the pulsation, it will shoot up and create a dome shaped cage of chakra. Taku can use this so that he is with in or on the outside of the cage to use it. However, he has to keep his hands on the ground the entire time. While Taku's hands are on the ground, he can heal any damage done to the cage by surging more chakra into it ( a C rank amount per area equaling a 1 meter hole. In this way, even if the cage is breached, the user can keep them uncaged, but the chakra cost can be devastating to the user. A floor will be created about six inches under the ground, to make it look like underground escape is possible, but is not actually. The chakra for this technique is solid and not destructive, becoming calmer and more controlled via concentration. To escape from the technique, the user will have to use chakra attacks of their own. For nin it will have to be C rank to damage it, and for taijutsu, it will have to be B ranked to crash through it. Normal ninja tools or weapons will be simply turned away, while special weapons (those imbibed with some sort of unique ability aka influenced in some way by chakra, need be only C rank to pierce through and create openings.

• Name: Chakra Veil
• Rank: B
• Element: N/A
• Requirements: Sookato Clan
• Description: This is an advanced Sookato technique and is easily one of their most valuable. When the user uses this jutsu, a veil of chakra will wrap around them, however, it will float on them, not actually touching them for that would kill them. As the veil is made of the destructive Sookato chakra, most taijutsu is ineffective against the user when he uses this jutsu. The only way to get through is by destroying it with ninjutsu or taijutsu which utilize chakra in some way. However, like the chakra cage, Taku is able to repair the damage to his armor by surging more chakra to the point of entry. He can also change the density of bits by weakening the other. The chakra armor does not cover the soles of his feet as it would deteriorate the earth he walks upon. However, he can have it cover his soles should he wish it, but it is not an automatic thing and costs more chakra. A D rank ninjutsu will weaken it cosiderably, and a C rank will destroy it but in turn be canceled, leaving a gaping hole at the point of impact. B rank and above will leave the gaping hole and do damage equal to a rank lower then the actual attack, meaning that the attack was weakened slightly. With simple Taijutsu (attacks not utilizing chakra) it will simply turn such attacks away as well as with basic weapons. However with advanced taijutsu (any technique using chakra, it will have the same effect as with ninjutsu and the effects existing at the equal ranks. concerning weapons it is quite simple. It will turn away weapons that are not contained with chakra aka have any special attributes. However, those that do are completely immune to the veils protective capability and are capable of piercing through it albeit the attack will be slowed slightly and the force of each blow will be lessened a tad bit. It takes a C rank amount of chakra to keep this jutsu activated for every post after it is used.

• Name: Reverse Chakra Veil
• Rank: B
• Element: N/A
• Requirements: Sookato Clan
• Description: This is just like the Chakra Veil in principal, except it is applied to another person. It can be used on ally's for added protection, however, it can not be healed unless Taku is in direct contact with it so it generally is only good to take a few extra attacks unphased. If effectively used on an enemy then Taku can then lock their body down with the chakra by manipulating it and restricting or controlling their movement by controlling the chakra. It takes a C rank amount of chakra to keep this jutsu activated for every post after it is used.

• Name: Pillar of Generations
• Rank: B
• Element: N/A
• Requirements: Sookato Clan
• Description: Using this jutsu, Taku will surge chakra through his feet and along the ground towards an opponent. This is one of the few non-destructive sookato techniques. When it reaches the feet of the target, a shimmering circle will light up around them and then shoot a veil of chakra straight up about 5 meters, (roughly 15 feet), high. Anything cot in it will have its tenketsu points (chakra points), clogged with sookato chakra quickly removing any ability to utilize chakra for jutsu in the first two posts. After that it will have disipated enough to where jutsu of C rank jutsu can be used on the third post after being hit. On the fifth post it disipates more allowing them to use enough chakra for a B ranked attack. After the Seventh post, the clogging is completely gone and any jutsu can be used normally. The chakra can be remove through certain jutsu such as the Rotation technique of the Hyuuga clan by surging pure chakra through it to push it out.

• Name: Sensory Void
• Rank: B
• Element: N/A
• Requirements: Sookato Clan
• Description: This jutsu utilizes the Sookato Chakra in a thinner manner so as to make it non destructive. This is used much the same like pillar of generations except it is even thinner and cannot even be seen because it is so thin. When used it will flare up around the target. They will notice a slight increase in temperature, even though this is really not the case, it just makes it seem to them almost like it is more humid, actually just containing a bit more heat trapped into their body then normally in the open air. This thin chakra void around the person will disrupt all chakra sensory or sight skills so that the person affected will not be able to see or sense chakra for the next two posts.

Setting aside all personal bias and viewing it objectively, the main problem I see here is the doujutsu ability. In conjunction with a high amount of chakra, chakra that can also be lethal itself, the doujutsu seems to be a lot on top of it. Even though it is a sensory type, meaning you don't physically see chakra as with the Byakugan, it seems to be pretty strong in and of itself.

From what I can see these are the few main advantages of the doujutsu part of it, but there is no mention of chakra cost or anything of that matter to activate or use this. Since any shinobi with this would already have a higher amount of chakra, plus chakra that can change it's lethality, it think it's more than fair to tag on a chakra cost to be able to use this. The chakra cost should be proportional* though, and writing out a post count about how long you can hold it would definitely be in order. *(Just clarifying: The chakra amount isn't going to be huge, I know that, but it should be proportional to your amount of chakra so you don't end up holding it infinitely because you have a large amount of chakra)

Also this disadvantage should be changed to soemthing that more directly affects the character. If this is a disadvantage, then becomes very easy for you to circumvent it by adding the SC "Intellect". Maybe some set amount of IC training would be in order.
