Symbol:
Clan Name: 虚打ら・一族, Kyodara Ichizoku
Location: Kumogakure no Sato.
Specialization: Bukijutsu (Kyūjutsu).
Elements: Raiton (Required primary or secondary)
Clan History: The Kyodara clan has been known throughout history as the foremost in archery. The first official spotting, the flying of the clan emblem, was during the First Shinobi World War. At that time, they were a small clan of mercenaries that specialized in guerrilla warfare. They were hired by other clans and nation-states to help in fights; through demonstration and the undeniable results of a skilled Kyūjutsu specialist, they quickly gained fame and reputation. They could pose as normal people while walking by an enemy supply route, then using their chakra bows and arrows, they would slaughter their unsuspecting foes. Once they had gained enough money from taking mercenary jobs they decided to merge with a village for protection. They quickly joined the village of Kumogakure and have lived there ever since.
They hold great pride and an intense sense of nationalism toward their clan and village; initially any mockery towards either of the two could cause these members to act extremely violent towards the person that mocked them. When they first joined Kumogakure, they acted like nobles even though they were just mercenaries that were needing a place to sleep without worry of being attacked. Over many years, the people of Kumogakure had just accepted their way of thinking they are nobility. Thus the clan became of high social status in Kumogakure, not through blood but in a more de facto fashion. The most honorable thing a clansman can do is rise to the rank of Kage and assume the position they think is rightfully theirs. A good deal of those who hail from this clan are arrogant snobs who always look down upon others, though not every member is like that. The Kyodara are first and foremost archers and guerrilla fighters, and as such instruct all of their kin to wear clothing appropriate as camouflage to the area. Training from this clan is started at a very young age, roughly 2-4 years of age the parents are required to make them train. Failure is not an option in this clan, as it brings dishonor towards their family and their name. Though, the thing that one can do that could hurt the pride of the clan the most would be to leave the Cloud, and thus one's own family and its people. Partially due to their own indoctrination or their own expertise at stealth, there has never been a report of a missing-nin Kyodara member. Those that escape do not see this as an option for life, but rather an escape from your responsibilities as a member of the Kyodara clan. Of course, the clan itself sees an escapee as nothing more than a smudge on their name, and attempts to dispose of anything that tarnishes their reputation promptly.
Members: Zetsume Zix (Former Clan Leader)
Kekkei Genkai Name: Pinpoint: Houyi's Pedigree (的定・后羿血統, Jōmato: Kōgei Kettō)
Kekkei Genkai Description: The Kyodara are dedicated archers; their general standard for Kyūjutsu as an art in and of itself is second to none. The Kyodara can use Chakra Bow items of 1 rank higher than normally allowed by their ninja rank.
The Kyodara can apply for Chakra Bows as items.
Because Chakra Bows and Arrows are actively created by a Kyodara, and the latter dissipate on impact/after dealing damage, the items themselves are incredibly difficult, or in the case of the latter impossible, to damage like normal items. Even being made of chakra, Fūinjutsu and other effects can be applied to them as normal. Despite subtracting chakra from the chakra pools of those using them, these items and their abilities, to sensory techniques and powers, do not appear to be using any.
The initial Luminous Shard and Lightning Bolt (or whatever you decide to call them) cost no Ryo and are obtained upon character approval.
Upgrading existing bows and ammunition does not require training, but does require re-registration in one's Jutsu thread to subtract additional chakra from your maximum pool per rank up. Chakra Bows and Arrows can be upgraded any amount of times.
- Bow:
- The following are the enchant prices for this specific bow. Unlike most items, a Kyodara's Luminous Shard and thus their Lightning Bolts can be wielded even at SS-rank with no restrictions, and it can have multiple chakra natures.
C -> B: 650
B -> A: 1250
B -> S: 3750
A -> S: 3000
B -> SS: 7000
A -> SS: 5500
S -> SS: 4500
A Kyodara automatically starts with the following at C-rank.
Name: Luminous Shard (弦光電歌, Genkō Denka)
Type Of Weapon: Chakra Bow.
Rank: C-S
Elemental Alignment: Raiton | One other
Ability/Function: The ability to produce this item reduces the Kyodara's chakra pool by 10 permanently. This changes to 15 at B-rank, and so on (+5 per rank).
The manifestation of the Kyodara's famous ability to create a bow from nothing out of Lightning Release chakra nature change; it was dubbed Luminous Shard (弦光電歌, Genkō Denka). It can be summoned and dismissed at will. Unlike most items, it is able to have multiple chakra natures. It gains a third at A-rank.
The ethereal bow, due to using chakra, requires much less effort to draw, and thus does not drain the stamina like using a normal bow would. It launches arrows at 15m/s at C-rank, and the projectile speed increases to 35m/s at A, 45m/s at S, and 70m/s at SS. At B-rank or lower, it fires 1 arrow per second. At A-rank, they can nock two arrows per second; at SS-rank, 3. (Due to its nature, multi-firing does not require any special preparation on the Kyodara's part.) The Kyodara can switch back to a lower-rank version of this bow as they see fit.
This item, due to being only semi-tangible chakra, cannot block or defend against any weapon attacks with its form, but also cannot be damaged by weapons. A jutsu of A-rank is necessary to damage this C-rank item. At B-rank, an S-rank is required, and at A-rank, an SS-rank is required. An S-rank or higher Luminous Shard bow cannot be damaged.
Starting at A-rank, a Kyodara wielding this bow can expend chakra to empower their Chakra Arrows. By paying 10 less chakra than a jutsu of equal rank to the Chakra Arrow used, the Kyodara can empower one arrow fired using this ability with the power to act as a jutsu of equal rank to that ammunition.
So, if a Kyodara has A-rank "Lightning Bolt" ammunition, they pay 15 chakra to treat one arrow as an A-rank jutsu of either of this bow's elements, which affects defenses and clashes with other attacks as normal. However, this does not change its speed or damage, which function off of the bow and arrows' normal values.
This ability also means that at A-rank, a Kyodara's arrows automatically interact as D-rank jutsu without chakra cost.
Appearance: A mostly-translucent mass of chakra shaped into a bow of the wielder's mental design. The chakra is typically tinged with variance by user. Because it is only semi-tangible, its general dimensions can be changed at will, as well.

A Kyodara is limited to using Chakra Arrows of 1 rank lower than the Chakra Bow they currently possess.-
Name: Lightning Bolt (稲矢妻, In'yazuma)
Type Of Weapon: Chakra Arrow.
Rank: E-S
Elemental Alignment: None.
Ability/Function: Pierces 1/4" into skin and flesh, 1/2" at B-rank, and 3/4" at S-rank; after this, damage does not increase. Can ignore the protection of non-chakra-enhanced armor of equal rank.
This arrow takes on one of the chakra natures of the Chakra Bow wielded by the Kyodara.
Due to its nature as a chakra arrow, it dissipates after connecting.
At E-rank, this item reduces one's chakra pool by 5. At C-rank, the reduction increases to 10, 15 at A, and 20 at SS.
A Kyodara does not have a set number of these arrows; rather, they can slowly channel tiny bits of the reserved chakra into making them. They create 2 arrows per post they are either in combat or alerted and ready for it. At A-rank, they create 4. At SS-rank, they create 6. These arrows are in a 'stock' they can call upon at will, requiring no quiver; they simply appear.
Appearance: Manifests as anything from an aura of chakra coalescing into a projectile to the appropriate element forming an actual arrow. Its standard name, "Lightning Bolt", comes from the Kyodara's natural affinity to Raiton.

A Kyodara that existed before this revamp gains a Luminous Shard and Lightning Bolts of 1 rank lower than the maximum they can use, which do not cost Ryo. (A C-rank ninja would, therefore, get a B-rank bow and C-rank arrows.)
Drawbacks: As seen above, at-will archery comes at a cost. The majority of what makes the Kyodara so special has a permanent effect on their chakra pool that only increases as they continue to rank up and upgrade the effectiveness of their weapons.
Despite being formed from chakra, the arrows are not offensive jutsu unless granted a rank of interaction. If such is not done, they are blocked by any rank of defensive technique, and swallowed up by any rank of offense.
The Kyodara are dedicated specialists in long range. They may never learn Taijutsu, and it takes twice as many words to learn another sub-specialization aside from Kyūjutsu. Basic attacks from weapons or Taijutsu will act as if they are 1 item rank higher or 4 tiers of Strength higher for the purpose of damaging the Kyodara.
Devoting one's all to archery in such a manner leaves room to be desired in versatility. A Kyodara must take the "Hesitant (Specialization)" negative SC without balancing it with a positive.
