Shizukana: The Tranquil  [Complete] Ohm-1

Clan Name: Shizukana
Location: Konoha
Signature Traits: Sufuku Fighting Style, Hotokegan.
Kekkei Genkai:Hotokegan (Buddha's eye)
The Hotokegan is a Doujutsu Kekkei Genkai which has been passed through the generations of the Shizukana clan since the first one reached enlightenment.  When Activated the users eyes become a dull shade of black from whites to iris and seem completely featureless. While this Doujutsu does include a profound level of chakra visualization, it does so much more than this.  More a deep sense of understanding than actual chakra sight, while the Hotokegan is active the user sees the world as the transcendent Buddha would, not through eyes but through their center, through their heart.  They open their perceptions to the whole of the world, and gain a potent sixth sense.  This sixth sense gives an effective 'Chakra Sight' out to a range of 50 meters, and allows the users mind to perfectly visualize the chakra where ever it may be located.  The sense is not affected by physical matter and can sense through walls, floors, ceilings, and other nouns which may block normal vision.  So keen is the users chakra 'sight' that they are able to pick out the individual tenketsu within the human chakra network of those very close to them, and watch as chakra travels through it with each motion and each fleeting thought.  This sort of sight brings with it many benefits, though they can be easily summarized as two different manifestations of the Doujutsu.  Each one is active whenever the Hotokegan is active, and serves to give the Shizukana a huge edge in any manner of hand to hand combat, even against their unofficial Hyuuga rivals.

The first manifestation of this Doujutsu is their chakra sight, which while described as chakra "sight" is actually anything but.  Instead this is a strange and powerful sixth sense which was was awoken in the bloodline when the founder reached enlightenment.  This sense is so powerful it seems as though the user can see all chakra.  It is so precise that it can pinpoint any source of chakra within 50 meters of itself, and can sense through all normal objects, substances, and things which may be blocking normal line of sight.  This is a sort of sightless x-ray vision which lets them feel chakra both above and below ground, as well as through walls and through other people.  While the precision of the sense is keen, it is only able to sense the finer details of the chakra network at ranges no further than 5 meters and may even detect illness and injury to the chakra network itself.  At any range up to the maximum, however, the user is able to sense the chakra's location, it's general strength and capacity, as well as any other anomalies such as demonic chakra, a second chakra source, or other such oddities.  Very familiar chakra signatures can be picked out of a crowd, but only very familiar signatures.  

The second manifestation comes in a sense of oneness and understanding with the entire universe.  The Hotokegan is well named for the preternatural awareness it gives the person, allowing them to sense the build up of chakra within an opponent even as they are forming the attack it will be used with.  They can 'watch' the chakra build up in a body and see which limb it is going into and how that limb is moving.  This does not give them a truly predictive ability, just the ability to react far quicker to an attack, then another may be able too.  Instead of waiting for the external manifestation of an attack as the limb moves, they see the chakra being focused and pushed towards the limb.  Because it is still a reactionary ability it does not allow them to move faster than their opponent, but they can move in almost perfect synchronization with them, giving their fights a very choreographed look to the audience.  Because of this, the Shizukana are forbidden to ever take a speed modifying jutsu or special characteristic, however they are able to perfectly match the speed and strength of any of their opponents so long as they are not more than 1 rank in skill above the user.  This bonus applies only to techniques stemming from use of the Kufuku fighting style practiced by the Shizukana.  This chakra control comes with other benefits, most of which are most noticable when the Kufuku style is pitted against the Juken style.  Shizukana have the advantage against Hyuuga because their superb level of chakra control enables them to not only still the flow of chakra in areas paralyzed by Juken, but goes so far as to allow them to completely absorb the chakra used to stun tenketsu points.  In doing so the user is able to slowly repair their own chakra network and continue on fighting.  This Doujutsu requires 2 chakra each post to keep active.


History: Often disparaged as the Kyuketsuki, literaly the Vampire clan, the Shizukana are far from those monsters of myth and dream.  Literally the Tranquil, the Shizukana would be renowned for their stillness and virtue if they were not such a small and relatively unknown clan.  Instead very little is known about this clan.  Scholarly speculation proposes that this clan is related to either vampires, the Kami, or the oni.  Truth is much stranger than fiction, as this clan was actually founded only two or three hundred years ago by a single man.  He was a pious monk who practiced both meditation of mind and perfection of body.  He spent most of his life seeking enlightenment, and unlike many others he managed to achieve it.  Upon his moment of enlightenment he was struck with a profound understanding of man and nature and the way the entire universe fit together to form a single seamless entity, instead of the perceived mass of unconnected people and trees most of the world saw.  Of course the man became something of a prophet, preaching unity and peace to any who would listen, while continuing his own personal quest of inner perfection.  

He married and had children and passed on both wisdom and abilities to the new generations.  The clan grew, however it never over grew, only reaching a number of about 15 at any given time.  This included, typically, the 2 eldest of the clan, their children, their grand children, and a small litter of toddler great grandchildren all learning the same teachings in the same methods passed down from the enlightened monk.  This included a particular form of mobile meditation which drew upon the powerful inner forces to bring health and wellness to body and mind.  Shinobi nations were quick to spot potential within the clan, and in time they began to recruit the Shizukana with notions of protecting and doing good.  Of course as time passed the levels of enlightenment found within the original monk receded down until the clan was little more than a group of compassionate priestly types more inclined to help and heal than fight and yell.  This started off a breif, but great tradition of Shizukana medics who used their particular senses and famous chakra control to stave off injury and root out even the most tenaciously hidden opponent.  While most of the clan still understood the precepts of enlightenment, few actively pursued it, and none except the founder ever truly achieved it.

The family became wandering prophets and priests, bringing stories of peace and unity to any who would listen.  While the message was a positive one, few ever found the time to truly listen to it.  Most went about their lives ignoring the wandering monks(bums) and giving them no ear, or bread.  Others, though, always a small number, would hear their message and accept it as truth.  There the family often found lodgings and preached in exchange for food and temporary shelter.  The family flourished most during its early years when it occupied a small sheep herding community in the midst of the land of Grass.  Here they found pastoral people who readily accepted the ideas of peace and contentment.  They already enjoyed the idea of having no needs, no desires, to just exist as the world, instead of just a piece of it.  The sheep herders already spent most of their time just sitting on the rolling country side watching over sheep as they gnawed on grass.

This natural fit with the country gave the Shizukana a solid footing on which to grow, and grow they did.  The generations passed slowly here, but in the blink of an eye.  Parents preached to children, and grandparents passed down the sacred meditations, a method of movement, a series of slow and precise movements which assisted in gathering the internal chakra and smoothing it out inside of them.  This careful exercise brought the clan longevity and health, but also assisted in the creation and cultivation of their Hotokegan.  Inherited by the first of the clan, this evidence of their patron's enlightenment gave every member of the clan a powerful and mystical ability which often gave acute credibility to their words.  At the same time, however, their black eyes tended to give the superstitious an innate mistrust of the Shizukana and all their nice words.  Life was not always easy for the Shizukana, but it was good.  As the generations pass the family eventually gave in to more nomadic urges and departed for new sights and new cities.

Arrival in the large city didn't go well at first, though the Shizukana clan adjusted well enough.  They took up a familiar practice of preaching, and spoke to others of kindness and acceptance.  They advertised their knowledge of grasslands medicine and with their particular abilities they managed to heal quite well.  Teaching special breathing techniques and methods of meditation to followers they passed the test well as doctors, and managed to feed themselves well enough in the Land of Fire.  Eventually the shinobi forces were able to pick up on the Shizukana usefulness, and began efforts to recruit them into the ranks of Konoha's shinobi force.  Only the Hyuuga, a long established clan, seemed to really put up much of a fuss, and again it mostly stemmed from the easy smiles, the pretty words, and the ever black eyes of the Shizukana.  The rivalry between Hyuuga and Shizukana became mostly irrelevant as the Hyuuga clan continued it's dominance in Konoha, and the Shizukana dwindled down in numbers to only a small handful of active agents at a time.  It took an entire generation to convince the Shizukana to join, but when they did it was as medics.  Their natural chakra control made them experts in this feild, but generations passed and children moved on to learn other talents as well.

From medics the Shizukana quickly found their ability to sense chakra in the world around them made them as exceptional scouts as it did medics and soon more often the Shizukana would find themselves beyond the first line, and witness to some of the atrocities of war.  This did not dissuade them, and some even brought more active jutsu into their growing and effective fighting style.  From that point on the Shizukana became full fledged ninja, accepting any roll on the shinobi force and readily learning from any of the shinobi traditions.  Most rare are those Shizukana puppeteers, but they have been seen in history's annals.  As they grew in familiarity with the shinobi world they came to understand their own true usefulness as well, and most of the clan abandoned the single role of scout or medic and became roving explorers, willing to both seek out the enemies hiding places, but to do so alone and not fear for being caught.  Taijutsu because their focus well over the application of medicine, and the clan managed to perfect their bodies as well as their mind.



Clan Special Characteristic
Name: Stillness
Rank: C
Type: Physical
Physical Requirements: Hotokegan
Training Requirements: 600 words
Description: Instead of focusing on Speed or Strength, this SC focuses on acuity and physical precision.  Instead of overpowering enemies or out running them, this SC enables the Kufuku practitioner to  move slowly, but with enough efficiency and timing to effectively defend against the attacks of faster and stronger opponents while using the Kufuku fighting style.  This skill allows the user to have extremely fine accuracy with their taijutsu attacks.  This also enables a user of the Kufuku style to perfectly match the speed and power of any opponent up to one rank above their own, but prevents them from every purchasing any strength or speed increasing Jutsu or Special Characteristics.  On top of that, all Shizukana clan members have a -10% penalty to their speed for all movements and actions not stemming from the Kufuku style.  Likewise, these shinobi are more prone to walking instead of running, and can come off as being very lazy, or unmotivated.


Clan Fighting Style:
Name: Kufuku | the Hungry Fist Style
Clan: Shizukana
Emphasis: Chakra Theft
Requirements: Must have the Hotokegan (Activated).  Stillness Special Characteristic.  Must know: Chakra Kyuuin Jutsu - Chakra Absorption Technique.
Description: The Hungry Fist is an internal fighting style which draws completely away from the concept of dealing damage to their enemies. Practiced exclusively by the Shizukana clan, mastering this style requires a life time dedicated to perfection of mind and body, as well as a passive nature and keen sense of empathy and intuition.  With philosophies in the fighting style are rooted deeply in Taoist thought, This fighting style has an acute emphasis on the internal control of chakra to exclusion of almost all other tactics.  Relying heavily upon a strong control over their own chakra, masters of this style are able to physically move their chakra throughout their body through force of focus alone.  Eventually the Shizukana become so connected to the flowing chakra in their body that they are able to completely open their awareness to the chakra flowing through the universe around them.  Because of this, the Shizukana are able to disconnect from their sense of self and form a sort of union with the universe which manifests as the Hotokegan when active.  This is the hidden secret of the Shizukana which allows them to feel the chakra within their opponent, and allows them to draw out their opponents chakra with a touch and pull it into their own bodies.  This same very advanced level of chakra control allows users of Kufuku to manipulate their own internal chakra in surprising and highly effective ways.  This gives them many preternatural abilities which rely on the precise movement of their chakra to alter the hardness of their flesh and their center of balance.  


Natural Jutsu:
Name: Kufuku
Rank: D-S
Type: Taijutsu
Description: This is the basic fighting style which the Shizukana use to defend themselve and those around them who need defending.  Through their perfect control of chakra this style allows for graceful and slow maneuvers which still hold enough force to deflect or block even fast moving assaults.  While users of this style are able to force chakra into their extremities to literally add weight to their feet and root themselves in place, the most common application of this fighting style is in making contact with their opponents and directly tapping their own chakra networks to that of their opponent.  In doing so, the Kufuku devours a bit chakra out of the area touched and draws it into their own body.

Before I even start reading this, I need you to have your Jutsu put in Spoilers depending on their rank.

Sort of. During the delay I was able to put more thought into something else, which will be just as fun, if a little more effective.
