Clan History: The Itohane clan is a lesser known group that is present in three of the five great nations, with only Kaminari no Kuni and Kaze no Kuni barren of them. They aren't usually recognized as a clan, as their kekkei genkai is rarely used and their passive abilities have no visible effects on them. Those that do know of them respect them enough; their beginnings are humble, with their clan leader a ninja of Iwagakure that had an innate skill to use sudden bursts of chakra to change forms and become stronger for a temporary duration. He only used this ability twice in his life, for in this form, he was a grotesque monster and was hideous. This passed in his genes, but he decided to leave his kekkei genkai a secret. For many generations, it wasn't used, until it was rediscovered by the most recent clan leader. After word of it was spread amongst the clan, the leader died of heart disease, and Itohane became detached, spreading apart from one another and moving across the nations.
Kekkei Genkai Description: Itohane clansmen are more resilient to the effects of the chakra within themselves, along with much more of it than the average ninja. They can use an extremely large burst of their own chakra to make their fighting capability more efficient temporarily, giving them short power boosts in their focus skills usable every so often without exhausting themselves. To compliment this ability, they spend most of their earlier years as ninja with only one chakra nature and one specialization to make the most out of this kekkei genkai.
Members of the clan start with twenty-five more chakra, and they make take one positive special characteristic without a negative one to balance it, but any other positives they have will still need balances and they are still limited to a maximum of three, including the unbalanced one.
Drawbacks: Members of the Itohane only start with one specialization and one elemental release. Their tertiaries cannot be learned until Jounin, and their quaternaries cannot be learned until Sannin, and thus they cannot take the Trained, Elementalist, Hesitant (Specialization) or Hesitant (Element) special characteristics. They cannot learn Katon, Raiton, or Senjutsu due to incompatibility between the two natures/sage chakra and their kekkei genkai, and in addition, all Katon techniques used against them have +1 rank in power. They also move slower, having -1 rank of speed (i.e. Jounin will move at the speed of Sp. Jounin, etc.)
Members: TBA
Kekkei Genkai Jutsu:
- Gaia's Legacy:
- Name: Gaia's Legacy (Gaia no Isan ~ ガイアの遺産)
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: B-S
Type: Supplementary
Element: N/A
Range: Self
Specialty: N/A
Duration: Up to 3 posts at B-Rank, 6 posts at A-Rank, and 10 posts at S-Rank (-10 chakra per post active, -20 if using S-Rank)
Cooldown: 5 posts
Description: The user begins to sacrifice large amounts of their chakra to increase their overall power in battle for a set duration. Aesthetic changes in the user's body and appearance vary from person to person, sometimes including changes in height, weight, skin tone, and hair length; the one thing that all uses of this kekkei genkai have in common is that the user's entire eyes (from pupil to sclera) become pitch-black while it is active.- B-Rank: The user makes a unique hand seal where they wrap their four fingers of the right hand around the back of the left hand, and press their right thumb out between the middle and index finger of their left. After charging their chakra for a few seconds, they release the hand sign and their appearance changes, giving them a +1 rank in power in their primary specialization until the jutsu ends (for example, if the user has Ninjutsu and this kekkei genkai is used, C-Rank Ninjutsu will be treated as B-Rank, B-Rank will be treated as A-Rank, etc.) but they CANNOT use any of their other specializations until the jutsu ends.
- A-Rank: The user no longer needs the hand seal to change forms. They simply concentrate for a moment and their appearance changes, giving them the same +1 and allowing the form to be maintained for a longer duration (6 posts rather than 3). They will also now have access to usage of whatever other specializations they have, unlike in the B-Rank version.
- S-Rank: The user may change forms on a whim, taking less than a quarter of a second to concentrate and enter Gaia's Legacy. They gain a +1 in their primary specialization and a +1 in their primary element, and they may maintain this for up to 10 posts, although the chakra drain on their body is increased (-20 chakra per post).
- B-Rank: The user makes a unique hand seal where they wrap their four fingers of the right hand around the back of the left hand, and press their right thumb out between the middle and index finger of their left. After charging their chakra for a few seconds, they release the hand sign and their appearance changes, giving them a +1 rank in power in their primary specialization until the jutsu ends (for example, if the user has Ninjutsu and this kekkei genkai is used, C-Rank Ninjutsu will be treated as B-Rank, B-Rank will be treated as A-Rank, etc.) but they CANNOT use any of their other specializations until the jutsu ends.
