Elements: Suiton

Specialization: Bukijutsu (Must be Primary Specialization, any Sub-Specialization and any Secondary Specialization)

Location: Kirigakure

Clan History: The clan started out as a standard shinobi clan in Kirigakure, doing low rank mission and doing nothing to stand out. Their Kekkei Genkai at first was supposed to allow them to summon companions made out of their own blood to fight for them. But it soon became evident that even be best ninja of the clan could barely sustain the form of the creatures they summoned. It just wasted too much chakra to sustain the creatures for them to be of any effective use. But rather than the ability going to waste, it was put to a new use. The clan leader realised the potential of their blood. It was very dense and rich with modified iron. Infusing other metals with that blood resulted in great imporvement in both quality and durability. In the same generation the clan abandoned everything they held up as tradition. They devoted themselves to smithing weapons, using their own blood for the production of equipment and mastaring the same for combat. Even though the clan members had greater blood reserves than average humans it still happened that some smiths killed themselves in the process of weapon creation when they ignored their own limits. Furthermor being devoted to that kind of art, shortens one's lifespan. As such the clan today is even more secluded and smaller then it was before. They often don't allow marrige with other clans and keep all realtionships inside the clan itself.

While their numbers are greater than in the early years of the clan, they are still below average clans in the ninja world and many believe that the bloodline is dying out.

Kekkei Genkai Description: The members of the Yasuchika clan have access to Iron Blood. Their Kekkei Genkai allows them to user their own blood and coat their weapons in it. The ability supports them both during the creation of the weapons as well as actual combat that invloves some kind of equipment, whether it was made by them or someone else. The blood is coated with chakra and it allows it to be infused into the weapon during creation or simply to make it stick to it like a fine coat during combat. Chakra is used again to harden the blood, turning it into a deadly upgrade for the weapon. It is worth noting that the members of the clan cannot manipulate the flow or movement of their blood, whether it be outside or inside their body and can only manipulate it's properties.

Drawbacks: As noted above, most of the Jutsus associated with the clan rely on a weapon being present and the Jutsu essentialy becomes useless when a weapon is not there to be used. Another limitation is the fact that they must wound themselves in order to draw the blood out and if they don't have a way to do so they will not be capable of using the techniques. Furthermore, even with the extra blood supplies in their body, reckless use of the Jutsu could result in weakness, or even death during combat. Members of the caln cannot have the Negative Characteristic Hemophilia.

I think this Kekkei Genkai is to close to the abilities of the Igarashi. I won't deny it however, if another staff member posts thinking otherwise.

I see.

That was my number 1 concerne when i made this. But in the end i decided to roll with it, mainly because i thought that the only thing the two have in common is that they both use blood. The way they make use of it, as well as the final application and effect in combat were completely different which is what sets the apart, in my opinion at least.

Bump

Yeah, far too similar to Igarashi. Denied, sorry.

That sucks.

Oh well, moving onto plan B.
