Clan: Yasuchika

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.

Rank: D
Type: Supplementary
Element: Suiton
Range: N/A
Specialty: N/A
Duration: Five Draws
Cooldown: 7 posts
Description: Like all Iron Blood Jutsus, it begins by pouring out blood. It is a Jutsu only usable on a weapon that has a seath. The user pours his own blood into the seaths, filling it till it doesn't reach to the very top. Using Chakra the blood density is greately reduced. The bloods main function is the reduction of friction allowing for a quick draw. As such it is perfectly suited for those who use Iai and Iaijutsu, but it also forces the user to seath the weapon between every use. The blood also has a protective use and it will never rust as long as there is blood in it. Chakra makes it so that the blood does no evaporate or get clogged and it is a popular method of storing valuable sword for a long time.

Type: Offensive
Element: Suiton
Range: 15 meters
Specialty: Bukijutsu
Duration: 1 post
Cooldown: 3 posts
Description: This Jutsu can only be used on a weapon which already has "Iron Blood - Coat" applied to it. While it is possible to use it with nearly all weapons it was intended to and workes the best with weapons that have a cutting edge. The user pours even more blood onto the already coated blade. While it sticks to the sword it does not solidfy like the previous layer. The next swing of the weapon will make the second layer of blood fly off as a cutting blade. While it greatly rely on the quality of the weapon, the previous coat as well as the skill of the user, the flying blood blade is capable of cutting most material like butter. If not used for a period of time (3 posts) the technique will become useless and the blood will stick to the blade and will have to be recasted. Depending on the shape and form the weapon, the shape of the blood blade will also vary. Normal swords will have a narrow straight or curved edge. Staff like weapons and spears will also produce the same but with more thickness to it and shorter. Completely blunt weapons like hammers result in bullet like specks flying off while arrows and other projectiles lose the mass during flight, damaging targets and objects next to it's parth of flight.
