Clan History:
The first state of the clan
Once a clan in Kumogakure that went by the name of Remashita, the clan had average renown, often being seen for their specialty with sealing. Many talented ninja came from the clan, some focusing on training their elements, others their skills. But throughout it all, they all kept the tradition of being practitioners of fuinjutsu. Unfortunately, soon, fuinjutsu specialists existed outside of the Remashita clan, many better than the Remashita. The clan found its place in the village disappearing beneath their feet.
The leader of the clan at the time, Midori Remashita, advised his clan to leave on a long pilgrimage, to rediscover their place in the world, and perhaps uncover any potential the clan’s fate held. And so a large number of shinobi, children and otherwise, departed. The clan travelled all over the world, frequenting the various hidden villages and learning what they could. This pilgrimage occurred for years, until about 100 years later, a breakthrough occurred.
The breakthrough
While in Sunagakure, 13 members of the clan came up with a plan. The leader of the clan at the time, and the oldest of the 13, suggested that they return to their roots, but with a twist. Each of the individuals that agreed to this plan had a talent different from each other, and were born at different times of the year. The leader, Jotaro Remashita, focused all of his life in training summoning alongside the clan seals. He was born on February the 29th, during a leap year. Each of his other companions were through different times of the year. Mutual inspiration struck the group, and they concluded their plan to bring about the return of their clan. They consulted with the fuinjutsu specialist of the group, who spent sleepless nights and countless days perfecting his technique.
He began by testing this technique on the leader of the clan. By placing a seal that he personally designed for that individual, all muscle memory and nearly all of the chakra became tied to the seal. After a process that took 3 days and 2 nights, the sealer added an inverted version of the same technique to a young girl of about the age of 8. To the delight of the sealer, it worked perfectly, with the girl obtaining the gifts of the clan’s leader, and seemingly a natural with the summoning he had used. Also fortunately, Jotaro survived the sealing. However he became numb over his entire body, and while he could still manipulate chakra and use techniques, his skill at doing so was gone.
Fearing that this could go negatively for the future generations, the sealer tried the same inverse seal on another child, once again of the age of 8. Once more, the child became proficient at summoning. First the sealer checked up on Jotaro, where he was pleased to find his situation had not changed; once his skill had been sealed, the seal took no more. Furthermore, the previous test subject, the little girl, was also fine, and seemed to have no adverse effects. He began making seals for every other member of the group, each one having similar results to the first. 12 different seals were created before the sealer created a seal on himself. The seal drained his chakra and any skills he had developed, however still he tried to deliver the final seal. He attempted to give this seal to one last child, however, due to his diminished chakra, died from the process. In his honor, the remaining 12 took the sealers notes, and divided up the assignment of seals to the youth dependent on their birthdays. The seals were passed down through clan history, in books and scrolls. And at the decree of Jotaro, the clan was no longer the Remashita, but the Tanjō. The clan had been reborn.
The current situation of the clan
From that moment on, the clan began a steady rise in its fame and popularity. While it was still not a high regarded, famous or infamous clan, it was finally seeing a return to employment. Villages accepted the clan, and as such the clan itself scattered, living wherever they are welcome and serving the villages to the best of their varied abilities. The smallest amount of the Tanjō can be found at their roots, back in Kumogakure. While the clan do have members residing there, due to a minimal grudge held by the clan for their replacement, it is the least popular place among the clan. Often times the clan will hold meet ups, where every few years the clan will all migrate to a single point, where they are to meet with one another, commune, and enjoy merriment. Sunagakure is the most popular place for this, followed by Kirigakure.
Kekkei Genkai Description: The powers of the Tanjō clan come from the seals placed on the clan members while they are young. Because of this, every member of the clan has a symbol of their zodiac, along with various seal signs, along one side of their face. Furthermore, depending on the day the clan member was born, they have different strengths, as their seal determines the Tanjō founder they take their power from.
- Seals:
- Aries: Members born from March 21 to April 19 have the benefits of the Aries seal. Those with the Aries seal are more adept at using techniques of the Fuuton element. Characters with an Aries seal count jutsu used with this element as being 1 rank lower for the sake of spending chakra e.g. A C rank Fuuton technique used by someone with an Aries seal uses 10 chakra, instead of 15. Furthermore, the character gains +1 tier to their speed.
- Taurus: Members born from April 20 to May 20 have the benefits of the Taurus seal. Those with the Taurus seal are more adept at using techniques of the Doton element. Characters with a Taurus seal count jutsu used with this element as being 1 rank lower for the sake of spending chakra e.g. A C rank Doton technique used by someone with a Taurus seal uses 10 chakra, instead of 15. Furthermore, the character gains +1 tier to their endurance.
- Gemini: Members born from May 21 to June 20 have the benefits of the Gemini seal. Those with the Gemini seal are more adept at using Seijutsu techniques. Characters with the Gemini seal begin with a free E rank pet, and once per rank up (Not including becoming a Genin upon character creation), gain a free Seijutsu technique of one rank lower than the rank they are becoming e.g. A character would get a free D rank seijutsu technique upon reaching Chuunin, or C-Rank.
- Cancer: Members born from June 21 to July 22 have the benefits of the Cancer seal. Those with the Cancer seal are more adept at using Genjutsu techniques. Characters with the Cancer seal gain a free Genjutsu upon rank up of the same level that they are ranking up to e.g. Upon reaching Chuunin, or C-Rank, a character with the Cancer seal gets a free C rank or lower Genjutsu technique.
- Leo: Members born from July 23 to August 22 have the benefits of the Leo seal. Those with the Leo seal are more adept at using techniques of the Katon element. Characters with the Leo seal count jutsu used with this element as being 1 rank lower for the sake of spending chakra e.g. A C rank Katon technique used by someone with a Leo seal uses 10 chakra, instead of 15. Furthermore, the character gains +1 tier to their strength
- Virgo: Members born from August 23 to September 22 have the benefits of the Virgo seal. Those with the Virgo seal are more adept at using Medical Ninjutsu techniques. Characters with this seal learn a free Medical jutsu at each rank equal to or lower to their rank e.g. a starting character gains a bonus Medical Ninjutsu of either D or E rank, as the character begins at D-Rank.
- Libra: Members born from September 23 to October 22 have the benefits of the Libra seal. Those with the Libra seal are more adept at using Senjutsu techniques. Characters with the Libra seal have a 10% WC reduction for training Senjutsu techniques. Characters with the Libra seal can have their Senjutsu trained directly to C rank, bypassing the usual requirement of starting at D rank.
- Scorpio: Members born from October 23 to November 21 have the benefits of the Scorpio seal. Those with the Scorpio seal are more adept at Taijutsu. Scorpio members may choose a stat to give +1 tier to as a clan bonus, and start with 10 extra chakra. This represents the intense training those of the Scorpio seal go through.
- Sagittarius: Members born from November 22 to December 21 have the benefits of the Sagittarius seal. Those with the Sagittarius seal are more adept at using techniques of the Raiton element. Characters with the Sagittarius seal count jutsu used with this element as being 1 rank lower for the sake of spending chakra e.g. A C rank Raiton technique used by someone with a Sagittarius seal uses 10 chakra, instead of 15. Furthermore, the character gains +1 tier to their Perception.
- Capricorn: Members born from December 22 to January 19 have the benefits of the Capricorn seal. Those with the Capricorn seal are more adept at using Ninjutsu techniques. Ninjutsu techniques used by characters with the Capricorn seal may have 5m more range than usual, or in the case of radius effects, +2m.
- Aquarius: Members born from January 20 to February 18 have the benefits of the Aquarius seal. Those with the Aquarius seal are more adept at using techniques of the Suiton element. Characters with the Aquarius seal count jutsu used with this element as being 1 rank lower for the sake of spending chakra e.g. A C rank Suiton technique used by someone with an Aquarius seal uses 10 chakra, instead of 15.

- Pisces: Members born from February 19 to February 28, and then from March 1 to March 20, have the benefits of the Pisces seal. Those with the Pisces seal are adept at Fuinjutsu. Characters with the Pisces seal have a 10% WC reduction to learning Fuinjutsu techniques. Also, because of the clan feeling indebted to the sealer who created the Zodiac seals, those with the Pisces seal begin with the Positive character trait “Inheritence” with a negative counter balance.
- Ophiuchus: Members born on February 29 have the benefits of the Ophiuchus seal. Those with the Ophiuchus seal are adept at Kuchiyose. The character with this seal may purchase their second summoning contract for half price (4500), and begin with a free E-rank summon technique.
- Aries: Members born from March 21 to April 19 have the benefits of the Aries seal. Those with the Aries seal are more adept at using techniques of the Fuuton element. Characters with an Aries seal count jutsu used with this element as being 1 rank lower for the sake of spending chakra e.g. A C rank Fuuton technique used by someone with an Aries seal uses 10 chakra, instead of 15. Furthermore, the character gains +1 tier to their speed.
Drawbacks: Due to the nature of the clan and their skills, sealing techniques are a weakness, as it can mess with the seal already effecting an individual of this clan. Fuinjutsu techniques count as +1 rank when used against members of this clan. Furthermore, if the seal is ever undone by an unsealing technique, the character that was unsealed proceeds to suffer numb (If a character already has numb, then it suffers blind. If it has numb and blind, this does not apply), and suffers a reduction of 50 chakra to their cap. This effect can be undone, however the character must leave the location and head back to their starting village to have the seal reapplied. This must be a minimum of 1000 words.
Any reductions to chakra cost given by a seal cannot be stacked with other chakra cost reductions.
Due to the focus on the strengths of the 13, clan members may not learn Bukijutsu or Kujutsu.
On top of this, clan members must take the Ryo Ignorant negative SC without counter balance, as their pilgramiges often leave the members unaware of the progression of economy.
Additionally, different seals come with different weaknesses.
- Seals:
- Aries: Members with the Aries seal must take Fuuton as their primary element, and do not begin with a secondary element. They must take hesitant specialisation without a counter balance.
- Taurus: Members with the Taurus seal must take Doton as their primary element, and do not begin with a secondary element. They must take hesitant specialisation without a counter balance.
- Gemini: Members with the Gemini seal must take Seijutsu as either a primary or secondary specialization. They suffer a 10% WC increase for learning any techniques that are not Seijutsu.
- Cancer: Members with the Cancer seal must take Genjutsu as their primary technique. Taijutsu and Bukijutsu techniques gain +1 tier of effectiveness when used against them.
- Leo: Members with the Leo seal must take Katon as their primary element and do not begin with a secondary element. They must take hesitant specialization without a counter balance.
- Virgo: Members with the Virgo seal must take Medical Ninjutsu as either a primary or secondary specialization. They cannot learn Taijutsu, and they cannot learn a fourth element.
- Libra: Members with the Libra seal cannot start with any elements, and must train them as if they were tertiary and quaternary. Furthermore, they must take Senjutsu as their third specialization. On top of this, those with the Libra seal cannot learn a fourth specialization.

Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Element: N/A
Range: Self
Specialty: KKG
Duration: Instant
Cooldown: 10 posts
Description: The user focuses their mind to the skills they have recently used, circulating chakra around their body to refresh their body clock to what they’d done before. This causes the cooldown remaining of C rank or lower jutsu that the user has recently used to decrease by 2, to a minimum of 1 e.g. the character uses a C rank jutsu with a cooldown of 4 posts, and then uses this technique. The C rank jutsu can then be used again in 2 posts, rather than 4, however as soon as it has been reused, it returns to its normal cooldown.
Name: Seal of Sharing (Kyōyū no shīru - 共有のシール)
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: S
Type: Supplementary
Element: N/A
Range: Touch
Specialty: Fuinjutsu (KKG)
Duration: Instant (Upkeepable for free)
Cooldown: +6
Description: The user places a temporary version of their seal, one that has a weaker hold, and as such, a weaker effect. A character who has the Seal of Sharing placed on them gains the benefit of the users seal until the seal is undone either by the user, or by anyone with B rank fuinjutsu. E.g. a character who has the seal of Capricorn and uses the Seal of Sharing on someone, gives the person with the Seal of Sharing the bonus range to Ninjutsu techniques so long as the Seal is on them.
