Clan History: The Kanetsu clan was one of, if not the most feared clan in the northwest of the Shinobi world. They were Lavamancers, individuals with the ability to generate and manipulate lava and protoplasmic ash. They used this ability to take the earth and lava of the land now known as the Earth Country and use it as their weapon. When in battle, they were infamously bloodthirsty, and would, after ensuring a victim couldn't escape, ensure their incineration was as slow and painful as possible. When Iwagakure was founded, the Kanetsu were one of the chair members, and their raw power and fury earned them a respected position among the Iwagakure army, as both warriors and tacticians.
Kekkei Genkai Description: It gives the members of the clan the ability to create Lava Release, or Yōton, by combining Earth and Fire. The temperature of the fire used can be modified to allow the user to create either molten rock or vulcanized rubber. Earth Release allows the clan members to alter the melting point of the rock, as well. [Yōton counts as a Kanetsu's Tertiary Element; it ranks up automatically to the rank of the lowest constituent element. So, if a Kanetsu had S-rank Doton but B-rank Katon, their Yōton would be B-rank. This Advanced Element ranks up automatically with the constituent elements; it can be trained to SS in this manner.] They have naturally hot bodies, meaning burns are less effective against them, reducing the effectiveness of heat-based techniques by -1 rank and degree of burning.
Yōton receives +1 against Raiton Techniques as it acts as an insulator, its liquid but thick form providing a horrible conductor.
Drawbacks:
- Kanetsu clan members begin with their primary and secondary element at C rank, the rank of their lava release is equal to the lowest rank of their two parent elements [eg, if a Kanetsu clan member has S rank Katon and B rank Doton, their Yōton is considered B rank.]
- Water attacks are effective against the Lava based techniques of the Kanetsu and have a powerful advantage when clashing, giving the water +1 rank of power against lava techniques. For example, an S rank lava technique can be cancelled out by a B rank water technique. Of course, these only turn the jutsu into obsidian; the Yōton then acts like Doton.
- Members of the Kanetsu have naturally hot bodies. When wet, or when exposed to naturally cold climates or techniques that make the atmosphere colder, members of the Kanetsu clan begin to move slower and cramp, reducing their Reaction Time and movement Speed by one tier. This increases at the second, fourth, and fifth posts by another tier.
- The Kanetsu clan members also tend to dedicate themselves to their specialties to the point of avoiding diversity. Kanetsu clan members cannot learn a fourth specialty, nor can they learn a fourth element[Their Yōton is their third].
Kekkei Genkai Jutsu:
- Rubber Defense:
- Name: Lava Release: Rubber Defense (熔遁・護謨防衛 ~ Yōton: Gomubōei)
Canon/Custom: Canon.
Rank: D-S.
Type: Defensive.
Element: Yōton.
Range: Within 2m.
Specialty: Ninjutsu.
Duration: 1 post. Lasts until destroyed.
Cooldown: 4 posts.
Description: The user creates a structure with lava--converted into a rubber-like material-- which can be used to guard against enemy's attacks. It can protect against any number of Taijutsu, Kyuujutsu, or Kenjutsu attacks of its rank. It can also reduce the damage of a Ninjutsu, Fuuinjutsu, or Chakra Flow technique by 50% as it breaks. Rubber Defense also can guard against 1 Kyuu, Tai, or Kenjutsu of 1 rank higher; it can also protect against 1 Fuuin/Nin/CF jutsu of lower rank, then reduce another's damage by 50%.
- Magma Terrorforming:
- Name: Lava Release: Magma Terrorforming (熔遁・怖動き土 ~ Yōton: Kowa-Ugokido)
Canon/Custom: Canon.
Rank: B.
Type: Offensive.
Element: Yōton.
Range: 20m.
Specialty: Ninjutsu.
Duration: 3 posts.
Cooldown: 6 posts.
Description: The user will make the required hand seals and then slam their hands to the ground to release chakra. The earth's surface, for up to 20 meters, will start to crack and split as lava veins melt the surface. The heat of the lava starts to destroy the affected terrain. The user is capable of using this lava to create small landforms, as strong as the surrounding earth; these cannot be created in an expedient fashion, and don't particularly function for defense. The lava inflicts second-degree burns, and third-degree burns on the next post if it's still on the target. If the target doesn't escape the jutsu's radius within the first post, their feet will become trapped in the viscous magma, possibly incinerating their feet.
- Pyroclastic Current:
- Name: Lava Release: Pyroclastic Current technique (熔遁・火砕流流の術~ Yōton: Kasairyūryū no Jutsu)
Canon/Custom: Canon.
Rank: S.
Type: Offensive.
Element: Yōton.
Range: 10m.
Specialty: Ninjutsu.
Duration: 1 post.
Cooldown: 5 posts.
Description: The user will make the hand seals and then release from their mouth a large amount of ash, laced with lava flecks; it flows outwards across the terrain, expanding in size, covering a width of 15 meters and 5m high as it rapidly spreads across this radius. The wave of ash and molten rock incinerates the terrain as it passes leaving it burnt to ash. On human beings, the ash wave can leave second degree burns at C-rank, all over their body, in addition to countless miniscule lacerations due to the abrasive nature of the ash. At S-rank, anything caught in this cloud is burned to the third degree if not completely charred; anything that's left would be eroded away by the ash.
