Clan: Igarashi Clan

Kekkei Genkai: Blood of the King

Elements: Blood Control (Suiton) // Blood Control (Body)

Specialization: Medical

Location: Kirigakure no Sato

Clan History: The Igarashi clan was once dwelling in Iwagakure many generations ago as doctors and physicians who were well known for their ability to cure melodies of the blood. Over the course of their stay there, they were known to have near cured several diseases which had once run rampant across the Iwa countryside, however, not all plagues are normal.

A chakra enhanced plague washed across Iwagakure, holding its people at ransom, who then came to the Igarashi for help. After attempting several cures, even the Igarashi clan were not able to heal the Melody, even with their extensive knowledge of powerful medical techniques. With little shame, the Igarashi clan did not relent, forcing themselves to think of a means to expel the virus without killing the victims. Therein, unlocking their clan Blood techniques, they transfused their blood into the victims and physically removed the infected cells from the survivors, healing them, though greatly weakening them, and killing some others whom were already too far gone.

Though successful, Iwakagure considered the technique dangerous, and the skill was banned as Kinjutsu in Iwagakrue no Sato, and so, their medicine was forbidden, in fear of unskilled users killing their patients, and the latent idea that the controlling of their own blood in another person's body would be able to be used for some form of domination or mind control...

Many members of the clan accepted this, and either decided to practice in secret, or give up their practice altogether. While others, not willing to live in a place where their talent to save lives was going to be squandered, crossed the sea before finally landing in Kirigakure, the land of the Bloody mist. The clan and their obscure and dangerous jutsu were welcomed in Kirigakure society, a land where the philosophy of the strong thrive and the weak perish was prevalent. Deaths from their healing techniques were seen as the weakness of the victim, not the failure of the Physician, and so, they thrived, becoming stronger and stronger until they earned themselves a place as one of the 6 great clans of Kirigakure.

The clan among Kiri are known to be rich nobles of the social elite, being born into them is an honour, though minor clans in this day and age regard them with a strong sense of fear, as there are many rumors circulating the clan to do with bizarre and grotesque experiments which may or may not happen behind closed doors...

Kekkei Genkai Description:
~The Igarashi clan are able to enhance the Blood in their own body as a derivative of the Suiton element by combining their own medical techniques with water control with the aim of manipulating and controlling their own blood and its functions. They are able to use chakra to rapidly produce and expel their blood from their bodies in much the same ways Suiton is capable of, however, they are also able to use it to enhance the capabilities of the human body, (Ie, enhance healing, physical performance, enzyme/ antibody control etc.) though they are completely unable to control the blood of others. When the ninja reaches A rank, they are able to pay 4k Ryo and do a 15k word count training thread to awaken their true potential, the art of Thurmaturgy known as 'The blood of a King' which gives the user the ability to remove the Suiton alignment from their blood, controlling their blood with their body chakra alone. Additionally this allows them to fuse their blood with their other chakra natures giving the clan member incredible sums of versatility. (Ie, literally changing one's blood to liquid fire, or lightning for the purpose of specific techniques.)

~At the cost of -10 chakra Igarashi ninja are able to restore the amount of blood used by 1 Blood technique // 1 liter of blood per turn (Out of the human bodies' natural 5-7 liters depending on body size).

Blood of the King:
~Base use of the Clan's Kekkei Genkai uses Suiton as a tool to control the blood and the functions within the blood of their body to become more versatile and effective. Though, senior members of the clan, after reaching A rank and completing their training, are able to control their blood as an N/A element by gaining control over their body chakra. This enables them to use any previous Suiton-control based Blood Technique without the positives, or weaknesses of having Suiton as a parented element, basically optionally removing Suiton willingly from these techniques. Though, whether Suiton is used or whether the jutsu is controlled with Body chakra MUST be stated with the jutsu/ chakra listed at the base of the post, if this is not done, Suiton, as it is considered easier, is always the default...

~After the training is complete, the ninja as they no longer rely on Suiton alignment for their techniques, is able to combine their blood with their other chakra natures to app and use abilities with other elemental/ visual effects Ie. burning/scolding effects or flaming blood/ replacing their blood with liquid flame (Katon + Blood Control (Body)), electrocution effects (Raiton + Blood Control (Body)).

Drawbacks:

~Cannot learn a 4th Element OR specialization. (Unable to take either Hesitant as a Negative special characteristic)

~Blood manipulation is an incredibly powerful yet taxing ability both mentally and physically, and though most abilities rapidly produce and replicate the user's blood to create vast quantities of chakra enhanced blood the blood itself cannot escape from a person without a point of exit. Members of the Igarashi clan in order to simply use their blood techniques, (Some techniques can detail other means of release) must have a wound/s large enough for the technique to exit themselves to be used.

• D Rank: 2" wide by 1/4" deep
  
• C Rank: 2.5" Wide by 1/2" deep
  
• B Rank: 4" wide by 1/2" deep
  
• A Rank +: Must have a broken Vein or Artery (Not minor) OR a 6" wide by 1/2" deep wound.
  

~Additionally, with each successive use of a Blood technique of B rank or higher, A blood user reduces his reaction speed by a single tier cumulatively until they regenerate their own blood loss. Meaning that, if a ninja uses 2 A rank, and a single B rank Blood technique, they will operate at -3 Tiers to Reaction speed due to their own blood loss from the required amount of blood for each technique.

~If a Blood user uses 6 Jutsu of B rank or higher without restoring their blood reserves, they feint from anemia, requiring urgent medical attention.
