Clan History: The Shigemitsu Clan was a small, nomadic tribe that lived in the by the border between the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind. It was founded by Yoshihiro Shigemitsu, a legendary painter and prominent figure in Iwa History. Due to the volatile location in which the clan was situated, Yoshihiro was forced to move the clan closer to the main village, but within two years the clan had found itself under the direct protection of the Tsuchikage as one of the clans that composed Iwa.
During his time, Yoshihiro made a name for himself as a prominent artist in Iwa. His paintings of the natural beauty of the Land of Earth earned him critical acclaim throughout the world, but the man's other talent, the clan's darker secret, was one that few fully knew about. Under a separate identity, Yoshihiro worked directly under the Tsuchikage as per the agreement made in exchange for protection. Using his unique Kekkei Genkai, Yoshihiro frequently carried out covert assassinations for the Tsuchikage, becoming a member of an elite branch of the ANBU. This was a side of him that no one in his family would know about until his death - a part that the man was ashamed of, claiming that by using the beauty of art to destroy a human being, he was slowly descending into a darkness that he felt no one would be able to relate to.
Yoshihiro's legacy lives on in his art, and in his family. The clan is currently scattered due to the migration of its members to the various villages to do their art: Yoshihiro’s children, and his children's children were all blessed with immense ability with art, with many of them becoming world-artists in their own right, but the man's unique and powerful bloodline technique only recently resurfaced in his granddaughter, Riyo Shigemitsu.
Kekkei Genkai Description:
Drawbacks:
Members: Riyo Shigemitsu
Kekkei Genkai Jutsu:
Name: Color Ninjutsu
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: D-S
Type: Offensive, Defensive, Supplementary
Element: -
Range: Close to Long
Specialty: Ninjutsu, Chakra Flow
Duration: Varies based on color - red, yellow, orange, indigo and violet are one-time-use only while green and blue can last 2-3 posts.
Cooldown: 2-8 posts - varying degrees of re-use. (Based on the color)
Description: Color Ninjutsu is a technique that has come about as a result of the presence of the clan’s rare and unique mutation that results in a physiological change that allows the user’s body to process their chakra into a form that more readily adopts a color from the visible spectrum. It is due to this long process of chakra moulding that each technique based on this style takes such a long time to produce (resulting in the 1 color/post limit). The globules can be ‘painted’ on virtually any surface, including in the air itself, thereby making the natural environment a canvas for their unique line of Ninjutsu. This is due to the fact that the chakra globules, when expelled, take on a visible, physical and tangible form.
The colors can be generated by the hands alone by sending the processed chakra to the fingertips to release the color-infused chakra globules, but when the user's chakra is channeled through a paintbrush (ie. chakra flow technique), the colors produced have greater power, of and there is more precision in terms what is created or painted. The characteristics of the globules change dramatically when finger-produced globules are compared to paintbrush-produced globules: paintbrush globules have a more paint-like consistency and coloration, with deeper hues that radiate with more chakra when compared to finger-produced globules. Finger-produced globules take on actual globular shapes that can be spread around with the fingers, though the more the glob is spread out, the thinner the chakra layer becomes. (Real life analogy: Paint brush stroke vs. putting a drop of paint on a flat surface and spreading it with the finger – the paint brush is more even, neater and prettier, while spreading color with the finger will eventually cause the paint to completely rub off or at least thin out excessively). As a result, there is a -1 Effectiveness for techniques when a paintbrush isn’t used (color used will drop one rank and suffer the consequences).
Users of Color Ninjutsu have access to the seven colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. The colors correspond to a specific rank of the Color Ninjutsu specialization.

Kekkei Genkai Description:
- Gifted Artistry: Members of the Shigemitsu Clan are ‘born for the arts’, as many will describe. They are natural artists and can draw virtually anything with ease, resulting in a +1 affinity to art-based Ninjutsu (Gennin can use B-rank art-ninjutsu).
- Chakra Globules: Those born with Yoshihiro’s bloodline have access to Color Ninjutsu as a result of a physiological mutation that results in the user’s body being able to mould and process their chakra into a unique form that will take on a color of the visible spectrum. Though, due to this lengthy process of constant chakra conversion, only one color can be used per post. Once the colored globule has been moulded, it can be expelled into the physical world (similar in concept to Chakra Chains) through the fingertips, but a more common practice by the clan is expelling the chakra through a brush, making it a requirement for those who use this bloodline to have Chakra Flow as their Secondary Specialization.
- Color Ninjutsu: Those with the mutation are given access to seven colors (ROYGBIV) that each correspond to a specific power as a result of the way in which the specially processed chakra reacts with the specific wavelengths of radiation. More detailed explanations of the colors can be found in the Color Ninjutsu technique of the clan. As a general overview, the color red corresponds to high energy explosions that produce no heat but are essentially quick bursts of energy that produce a force equivalent to that of an exploding tag, orange globules solidify into fragile shock-absorbing barriers that shatter in one hit when a technique comes in contact with it, yellow corresponds to piercing damage that can range from the feeling of a pinprick to the feeling of a thick needle being inserted into the area in which yellow is painted, green solidifies into harder material suitable for temporary weapons and defensive blockades, blue produces weighted objects that become extremely fragile after it has come in contact with something once, indigo produces a dark gas that is highly effective in obstructing sight, and violet represents cutting damage. Colors painted on the target fade immediately after the technique has been activated, and only one color effect can be used at any time. Access to the colors is based solely on the user’s mastery of the clan’s Color Ninjutsu, which is given at a starting rank of D is trained in a similar way as a second specialization, though it serves as an independent branch of Ninjutsu and thus does not take up another specialization slot. This is trained and mastered up to S-rank in the same way other specializations are trained, and it must be trained independently from Ninjutsu – the word count still applies from D >>> S (D to C requires a count of 1500).
Drawbacks:
- -1 rank to usage of elemental ninjutsu techniques (ie. Gennin can only use D-rank elemental ninjutsu in exchange for B-rank art-based ninjutsu)
- The colors of color ninjutsu cannot be mixed to create new abilities as mixing is impossible – the processed chakra will only take one color. User can only generate the seven colors of the rainbow: Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.
- Pharmacophobia MUST be taken as a negative trait for members who possess the Shigemitsu Clan’s physiological mutation that allows its members to process their chakra into a form that can take on a color of the visible spectrum. Due to this mutation, their bodies react differently from healing which results in reduced effectiveness.
- Chakra globules can easily be washed off by water techniques of equal rank, though by washing the color off of a surface, the color simply forms a layer on the water similar in appearance to oil in water. (Colored chakra globules don’t dissolve in water).
- Effects of the colored chakra globules are nullified if intense light (ie. a direct ray of sunlight or artificial light/radiation (ie. lasers/cosmic rays) to an equivalent degree) is passed through them. This also applies to when the color is in water – concentrated light shining directly at the ‘color puddle’ will nullify it. When the ninjutsu is successfully nullified, the visible coloration of chakra globules will disappear.

Users of Color Ninjutsu have access to the seven colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. The colors correspond to a specific rank of the Color Ninjutsu specialization.
- Indigo – D Rank:
- Indigo (D-Rank) – Indigo-infused chakra will cause a release of a thick, dark and obstructive gas, to the point where being caught in a cloud of indigo gas will result in everyone being unable to see even their own hand in front of them. The most effective way in combating Indigo is to remove the source – by burning any surface or surrounding area that has any trace of the color, as the gas is known to be produced continuously until the amount of chakra within the globule runs out.
- The color is subject to all the drawbacks that pertain to color release –the gas production can be displaced with water release.
- Can be completely destroyed by fire techniques of equal or greater rank.
- The obstructive gas lasts for a maximum of two posts, if not destroyed beforehand.
- A quick and temporary solution to the gas cloud is through the use of wind-release techniques, though it is not a very effective solution as the gas is being constantly released, and the displaced gas will only fill up other adjacent areas that wind release techniques blew it into, thereby obstructing other peoples’ abilities to see.
- There is a 4 post wait requirement before Indigo can be reused.
- The color is subject to all the drawbacks that pertain to color release –the gas production can be displaced with water release.
- Blue – D to B Rank:
- Blue (D to B-Rank) – Blue is unique in that it is released with a flick of the brush, which produces a blob of the chakra globule infused with blue coloration. The resulting projectile has the potential of causing blunt force damage. The weight of blue can be increased by kneading more chakra into it, but strangely enough, after a blue construct comes in contact with a large enough solid, it instantly becomes incredibly fragile and can be shattered like a thin layer of ice.
- D: ~5lbs.
- C: ~15lbs.
- B: ~45lbs, but producing the B-rank construct puts physical strain on user.
- Against fire and water: a direct hit by a fire or water release technique will cause the weight of the object to be reduced by half, but for fire-release techniques, the object will be set on fire, which has the potential of becoming a dangerous, flaming projectile.
- Cooldowns: D-rank = 2 posts, C-Rank = 4 posts, B-Rank = 6 Posts.
- D: ~5lbs.
- Yellow – D to B Rank:
- Yellow (D to B-Rank) – Yellow-infused chakra globules can be most easily explained as a color that possesses piercing abilities. The color is most commonly used as a method of offense and will be most commonly sent out in sheets or painted directly onto her opponents. The resulting feeling will be akin to thousands of needles pricking the affected area at the most basic level. Depending on the amount of chakra charged into the color, the piercing sensation may be that of a minor pricking sensation to the feeling of actual impalement and the potential of causing internal bleeding as more yellow is infused into the chakra globules. Yellow is really a color best suited for attacking living opponents as its affects are limited or barely visible on inanimate objects such as rocks, trees or even the ground.
- D: Sewing needle pricking sensation that pierces into the skin, penetrating half an inch in.
- C: Feeling like hypodermic needles piercing into the skin, penetrating three quarters of an inch in with the chance of causing external bleeding and minor internal damage.
- B: Feeling like thick needles (ie. blood extraction needles) are being stabbed into the user. Potential for internal damage, internal bleeding and traces of external bleeding.
- Like all other colors, yellow is subject to the drawbacks that pertain to Chakra Globules.
- Can be completely destroyed by fire techniques of equal or greater rank.
- Cooldowns: D-Rank = 2 Posts, C-Rank = 4 Posts, B-Rank = 6 Posts.
- D: Sewing needle pricking sensation that pierces into the skin, penetrating half an inch in.
- Violet – C to S Rank:
- Violet (C to S-Rank) – Violet-infused chakra is regarded as the most powerful of all the colors available. It has great cutting potential and will act in the same manner as a sword swing: any surface that has the color violet painted on it will receive a cut when the technique is activated. It is released in a swinging motion, with the brush releasing a stream of purple globules that will splash onto a surface. Upon activation, any surface with violet will be cut unless the color is removed. (Takes 2 posts – one to release the color, and one to activate).
- C: Basic cuts will be formed – deep enough to cause bleeding, but nothing too serious.
- B: Deep cuts will be formed, accompanied by excessive bleeding and the risk of infection if the wound is not treated.
- A: Potentially fatal cuts – excessive bleeding, excruciating pain. Depending on the location of the cut, the cut may even be deep enough for bone to be exposed (ie. if painted on a finger or an area where there is little muscle, fat and skin like the finger).
- S: In addition to what was stated in A, an S-rank indigo ring painted around an object/target/person (takes 2 full posts as one half-circle takes 1 post, + 1 post to activate the technique , giving the target lots of time to respond) can result in severing damage – in other words, if the user manages to paint a full circle around a target’s waist, then by activating the technique there is a potential that the target is split in half from the waist where the ring was painted.
- Direct hit by a fire or water technique of equal or greater rank will reducing the damage potential of the violet globule by one rank (A to B, B to C, etc). In the case of fire release techniques, one must be careful in using them to fight against violet-infused chakra attacks as they can catch on fire and inadvertently damage the one who launched the fire-release.
- Cooldowns: C-Rank = 4 Posts, B-Rank = 6 Posts, A-Rank = 8 Posts, S-Rank = 12 Posts.
- C: Basic cuts will be formed – deep enough to cause bleeding, but nothing too serious.
- Green – B Rank:
- Green (B-Rank) – Green-infused chakra globules have the power to solidify into a stronger, more resilient solid than those created by the color orange. The defensive potential for the color green is much greater, but instead of nullifying damage by collapsing in on itself, the color green can solidify into a harder and denser material ideal for the production of weaponry, or more long-lasting defenses such as shields and protective walls. Green is perhaps a potentially stronger color when compared to orange in terms of its defensive potential.
- Protects against fire, lightning, earth, wind and water techniques up to A-rank techniques.
- One hit of an A-Rank or two B-rank lightning, earth or wind ninjutsu-technique will easily shatter the green constructs.
- One B-Rank or three C-rank fire or water technique is sufficient to shattering any green construct.
- There is a 5-post wait from the time a green construct is destroyed before Green can be reused.
- Protects against fire, lightning, earth, wind and water techniques up to A-rank techniques.
- Red – A Rank:
- Red (A-Rank) - It represents high energy in the form of explosions. By infusing a chakra globule with the color red, the chakra becomes highly volatile and dangerously reactive, making it dangerous for even the user to utilize in battle in larger quantities. The explosions produced by the color red create no heat and thus does not cause spontaneous combustion, but when detonated the globule will release a large amount of energy in that split second, which is often strong enough to tear flesh and bone apart if applied directly onto an opponent. If painted on the ground, it can act like a land mine. If painted on a person, it can act like an exploding tag stuck onto the person.
- Red is subject to the same drawbacks that pertain to color ninjutsu above.
- Can be completely destroyed by fire techniques of equal or greater rank.
- Defense-based earth release techniques of B-rank or higher are highly effective against the explosions as they can generally contain the blast and keep damage at a minimum.
- There is a 8-post wait required before Red can be reused.
- Red is subject to the same drawbacks that pertain to color ninjutsu above.
- Orange – A Rank:
- Orange (A-Rank) – Orange-infused chakra globules have the ability to solidify into a type of fragile but extremely absorbent material. One blow is enough to destroy any construct made of the orange-infused chakra, but due to the absorbent nature of orange’s ability, any damage or aftershock caused by the technique has the potential of being absorbed in such a way that the entire attack itself is negated.
- Highly effective against Fire, Lightning and Wind-based ninjutsu, capable of absorbing the damage of one jutsu of either three elements of S-Rank or below, but after one hit of any technique, the barrier will shatter and the user will be susceptible to any other attacks. (If there are multiple attacks (ie. in the case of the phoenix sage technique, the initial fireball that hits it will break the barrier, but the remaining fireballs are free game and will still be in play.)
- Moderately effective against earth-based techniques and water-based techniques of equivalent rank or below: initial impact and aftershock will be absorbed, but the remnants of either Earth or Water releases (ie. the boulders or the puddles) are not removed by the absorbent ability of the construct.
- There is a 8-post wait required before Orange can be reused.
- Highly effective against Fire, Lightning and Wind-based ninjutsu, capable of absorbing the damage of one jutsu of either three elements of S-Rank or below, but after one hit of any technique, the barrier will shatter and the user will be susceptible to any other attacks. (If there are multiple attacks (ie. in the case of the phoenix sage technique, the initial fireball that hits it will break the barrier, but the remaining fireballs are free game and will still be in play.)
