Clan History: The Kanetsu Clan was one of, if not the most feared clan in the entire northwest part of the shinobi world, dominating most of the Land of Earth with their feared techniques that turned the land around them into an extension of their will, just like how their counterparts the Yuki dominated the eastern seaboard. They were lavamancers, individuals who were gifted with the natural ability to generate and manipulate lava and protoplasmic ash, though many users have been able to enhance their control and specialty of lava at young ages to more than just the basic lava manipulation the Kanetsu are normally known for.
Although it is mostly undocumented, the Kanetsu and the Yuki have warred for ages, creating something of an unbalance between the two clans, with a rivalry that still holds in the most traditional of clan members who hold on the centuries-old grudges that go far back beyond the time of the hidden villages, from when clans were still moving about and nomadic, travelling and finding jobs with no true one place of living. It was during this olden period where the Kanetsu and Aisu clashed many times, with their Kekkei Genkai sharing a relationship one can only call interesting, with both being superior to each other under different conditions. However, it was ultimately that the Kanetsu would find a home in the Land of Earth, after decades or even centuries of travelling as a clan.
Some people say that the Earth Country used to be a beautiful place with grass and trees, just like an extension of the Land of Fire, but the Kanetsu's practice of their clan kekkei genkai with fervor destroyed the land permanently, ending most natural life in the area, although the remnants of their lava does provide a good source of nutrients for plants to grow in some remote parts of Earth Country where the conditions were just right, leaving the Land of Earth the barren place that most people associate with it as it is stands in this modern age.
When Iwagakure was founded on one of the harshest terrains even in the Land of Earth, the Kanetsu were one of the few core members of the clan, just like how the Senju and Uchiha were the core members of Konohagakure. They were one of the most important, along with for example the Yamada and the Yuryo, the wielders of Crystal and Dust Release, the three advanced natures that make Iwagakure a truly feared place to tread, in those olden times up till the present, where the land remains unconquered.
Kekkei Genkai Description:
The Kanetsu's ability is the ability to create Lava Release, Yōton, by combining Earth and Fire. By applying the heat-inducing properties of Fire to the normally hardened properties of Earth, clan members can melt earth into lava and its derivatives capable of taking on most elements, attacking latent chakra, terraforming their environment, burning their enemies, and so, so much more in the form of, for example but not limited to, molten/liquid rock, quicklime, vulcanised rubber, etc, ultimately making it an element that is feared far and wide for its versatility.
Yōton is automatically equal to the lowest rank of its constituent elements. If Katon is A-rank and Doton is C-rank, then Yōton is automatically C-rank. In this way, Yōton can be SS-rank.
Although Yōton acts as if equal rank against Doton, the heat from Yōton is able to melt incoming Doton techniques. Yōton interacts with Doton as if it were equal rank, but melts the earth, forming lava. Meanwhile, Yōton also gains a +1 against Raiton as it is difficult to conduct in the thick liquid.
Yōton has a very curious dynamic with Hyōton, the Kekkei Genkai of the Kanetsu's rival clan, the Yuki. Due to the heat from the Kanetsu member's body, and Yōton being naturally very hot and capable of inducing heat into its surroundings, Yōton gets a +1 against Hyōton if the jutsu interaction occurs within 1/5/10/15/20/25 m of the member, at D/C/B/A/S/SS ranks. Beyond this, however, the heat removing properties of Hyōton predominate, giving Yōton a -1 against Hyōton beyond those ranges, leaving neither able to fight off the other.
*This is considered a benefit and a drawback.
Drawbacks:
- Kanetsu clan members begin with their primary and secondary elements at C-rank, and their lava release is automatically equal to the lowest rank of their two parent elements.
- Water attacks are effective against the Lava based techniques of the Kanetsu and have a powerful advantage when clashing, giving the water +1 rank of power against lava techniques. For example, an S rank lava technique can be cancelled out by a B rank water technique. Of course, these only turn the jutsu into obsidian; the Yōton then acts like Doton.
- Due to the naturally hot bodies of the Kanetsu, any cold tissue damage is increased in one rank by severity. As such, Kanetsu clan members receive greater degrees of damage in frost burn damage from Hyōton, i.e. minor first degree burns are now major first degree burns. Water does not get this bonus as it is not strong enough to cool the Kanetsu's body to the point where it hurts, unlike the much more superior Hyōton.
- Kanetsu clan members cannot take the Hesitant (Element) SC, and must take the Hesitant (Spec) SC, though they can balance it with a positive.

Kekkei Genkai Jutsu:
- Exploding Lava Fruit Tart:
- Name: Lava Release: Exploding Lava Fruit Tart (熔遁: 起爆溶岩フルーツタルト Yōton: Kibaku Yōgan Furūtsutaruto)
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: E-A
Type: Defensive
Element: Lava
Range: Varies
Specialty: Ninjutsu
Duration: 1 post
Cooldown: E-C-ranks: 3 posts, B-A-ranks: 4 posts
Description: The Kanetsu member releases a pulse of lava chakra outwards through the ground in the radius as listedbelow:- E-rank: 0.5 m radius
- D-rank: 3 m radius
- C-rank: 5 m radius
- B-rank: 10 m radius
- A-rank: 20 m radius
As this chakra pulses outwards, the earth melts into magma and rockets upwards and outwards. The lava rockets upwards to a height of 1/2/3/4/5 m at each of the ranks, before dropping outwards in a 'tidal wave'-esque fashion. This jutsu essentially creates a protective shield around the Kanetsu clan member, as upon contact with another jutsu, this defensive jutsu is capable of overriding it should it be weak enough, i.e. this jutsu can end 1 jutsu of 1 rank higher, 2 jutsu of equal rank, 3 jutsu of 1 rank lower, etc. Contact of the opponent with this lava does hurt, but due to its defensive properties, the damage is very, very mild, and so this jutsu is inherently not used for offensive purposes. At E- and D-ranks, the lava does no damage, only feeling warm to the touch. However, at C- and B-ranks, this jutsu does very light burns (E-rank damage), while at A-rank, it does minor first degree tissue damage (D-rank damage). - E-rank: 0.5 m radius
- Lava Clone Jutsu:
- Name: Lava Release: Lava Clone Jutsu (熔遁: 溶岩分身の術 Yōton: Yōgan Bunshin no Jutsu)
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Element: Lava
Range: 10 m radius
Specialty: Ninjutsu
Duration: 5 posts
Cooldown: 7 posts
Description: The Kanetsu infuses an area of 10 m radius with lava chakra, essentially heating up the area to uncomfortable levels, which allows them to easily melt the earth for the use of this jutsu. Upon use of this jutsu, they are able to conjure a total of 5 clones, either in the first post or spread throughout the jutsu, for deceptive purposes. This occurs with the earth first melting in a small area (roughly the size of their body), before a lava-based duplicate of themselves rises up from the ground or attacks from the ground. These clones can be made with lava-based duplicates of any items that the user currently has, but they will be void of any special abilities. They all have B-0 Strength and B-0 Speed, and are controlled remotely by the user. Unlike traditional clones, these clones do not require the user to split their chakra, essentially being lava constructs in the user's image, though this also rids them of the ability to actively use jutsu on their own accord like Shadow Clones can, as they have no chakra pool to deduct chakra from; again, they are just constructs of lava in the user's image. The main specialty of these clones, though, apart from overwhelming the enemy, is the accompaniment of low B-rank damage upon touch with the opponent, i.e. major 2nd degree burns. So, if they punch the enemy, they not only deal B-0 Strength's worth of damage, but also major 2nd degree burns. Each clone can be dissipated with at least B-0 damage through the torso or neck, while limb damage doesn't destroy the clones, just rendering them less a few limbs (if applicable).
- Muspell's Playground:
- Name: Lava Release: Muspell's Playground (熔遁: ムスペルの遊び場 Yōton: Musuperu no Asobiba)
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary
Element: Lava
Range: 25 m
Specialty: Ninjutsu
Duration: 4 posts
Cooldown: 10 posts
Description: The Kanetsu clan member uses Katon and Youton to further increase the intense heat that they already give out to the environment. This causes Youton chakra to flood an area up to 25 m away, forming a certain region whereby the temperatures skyrocket intensely, to a point where it is almost painfully uncomfortable for others not of the Kanetsu clan. Due to the intense heat, Kanetsu clan members find it easier to melt the earth around them, using less energy to push it past its melting point, decreasing the cooldown of all Youton techniques by 2. Furthermore, each turn this jutsu is active, the cooldowns continue to decrease by 1 each round (so they decrease twice as fast, -2 per turn rather than the usual -1).
- Lava Release Chakra Mode:
- Name: Lava Release Chakra Mode (熔遁チャクラモード Yōton Chakura Mōdo)
Canon/Custom: Canon
Rank: S
Type: Offensive/Defensive/Supplementary
Element: Lava
Range: Self
Specialty: Ninjutsu
Duration: Maintainable
Cooldown: One time per combat
Description: One of the most powerful techniques of the Kanetsu clan, and often considered the Kanetsu ultimate technique, this jutsu requires 35 activation chakra and 10 maintenance chakra per post afterwards. Often associated with the power of a Bijuu, this technique reaches a similar state of power, although scaled down quite a bit, compared to those exhibited in legends. With the sheer power flowing through their body, the Kanetsu clan member gains a thin layer of fiery lava across their skin, painting them with the textures of a lava-based substance of their choice for visual effect, e.g. bright red/yellow lava or dull quicklime, etc. The main colour scheme of this 'layer' is then displayed as a shroud of chakra around the user, simply due to the power flowing through their bodies (so a Kanetsu with a bright lava scheme would have a reddish-yellowish shroud of translucent chakra over them, while those picking the duller quicklime may have a greyish aura over their body, etc.)
The intensity behind this technique allows Kanetsu members to more freely use their clan jutsu, giving them a -5 chakra costs to any jutsu with the Yoton element, while also giving all Yoton jutsu a -2 turns to cooldowns. Furthermore, their bodies gain offensive and defensive capabilities, simply due to the heat being exuded. This chakra shroud/layer is able to defend against 2 A-rank jutsu, 3 B-rank jutsu, etc. and upon contact with the enemy can cause minor third degree tissue damage [lower B-rank damage] that stacks each post in the order: minor 3rd degree => major 3rd degree => minor 4th degree (maximum). This is despite whatever visual appearance the lava takes, because the intensity of lava chakra flowing through the user inherently burns their opponent upon contact.
Furthermore, due to being so in sync with their lava jutsu, Kanetsu clan members while using this jutsu are protected from the harmful effects of their own jutsu (e.g. damages, recoil, etc.) of at most A-rank. This only applies to their own jutsu. Another Kanetsu's lava can still harm them, as the chakra composition making up the different clan members' lava jutsu differs based on person, as no two people's chakra are the same.
