Hougaku Clan

Posts : 2032

Clan Name: Hougaku Clan

Clan Location: Kumogakure no Sato

Clan Traits:

Pull Chakra:
All members of the Hougaku clan possess what is simply known as 'Pull Chakra'. Their normal chakra has properties that allow them to alter the density/weight of any object when it comes in contact with their chakra. This allows them the ability to freely control the density/weight of their own body and surrounding objects, but it does not allow them to alter another living beings density/weight due to the corresponding chakra's involved. Thus, clan members are able to make themselves lighter, heavier, jump great distances, move at faster speeds and increase the pull of weight and power behind a punch, kick or otherwise. Due to their unique chakra and it's unique abilities, members have developed a 40% larger chakra reserve to manage the strain of the fluctuating weight of their chakra.

Kekkei Genkai:

Dominion:
The members of the Hougaku clan all possess a special aura of augmented chakra in combination with their special 'Pull Chakra', in which they can extend their chakra system in a sphere around themselves. This essencially gives the members dominion or authority over this area, which allows them the ability to manipulation the space within the area in many different and unique ways. This technique is known as the Shoyuuken and once established comes with a variety of abilities that are determined as Secret Clan Jutsu. With the ability to extend their chakra system around themselves in combination with the natural abilities of their 'Pull Chakra', clan members in turn can produce a deadly array of techniques. The Shoyuuken itself is also included in the details of clan jutsu.

Secret Clan Jutsu:

Quote :: Name: Shoyuuken
Rank: C-S
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: N/A
Description: The Shoyuuken is most like the signature move of any Hougaku clan member in that it is the precursor to many other techniques and attacks. The user will at an instant expand element chakra from their form to create a dome like aura that extends in a predetermined radius. It is seemingly in flux, and one can literally see the dome as it will be tinted a shallow pale blue color. This aura is always in flux, as chakra extends from the user and then returns on a vector, thus wasting very little chakra in doing so. Only one such sphere can be established at a time and once established it does not follow the user, but rather, occupies the space in which it is established. If the Shoyuuken is used when another Shoyuuken is active, the previous Shoyuuken will be dispelled. The radius of the technique extends based on rank.
C Rank - 15meters
B Rank - 25meters
A Rank - 35meters
S Rank - 50meters

Name: Shoyuuken: Sixth Sense
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu (Passive)
Element: N/A
Description: This is a passive technique that takes place inside of the area of the Shoyuuken technique itself. The user can sense any type of chakra's within the radius in conjuction with their rank, including external and internal chakra's. Unlike a senory ninja, it is limited to the area of the Shoyuuken, and even if they can sense it, they can't always react to it quickly enough without proper reflexes. But if a clan members trains in this art, the ability becomes very useful when navigating within the sphere.

Name: Shoyuuken: Shambles
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: N/A
Description: This is a technique based upon the substitution technique but adapted to form within the Shoyuuken. Once per turn, the user may substitute any two solid objects with each other, within the area of an established Shoyuuken without the need for hand signs. This technique does not count for a normal substitution, but it is limited to being used only three times per battle.

Name: Shoyuuken: Strangle
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu (Passive)
Element: N/A
Description: This is a passive technique that takes place inside of the area of the Shoyuuken. This technique is the pressure of ones own chakra in conjuction with the opponents. The pressure of the users chakra puts pressure on the chakra flow of the opponent, thus any techniques of the opponents used within the area of the shoyuuken cost twice as much chakra to use due to the forced nature in which they must be executed.

Name: Shoyuuken: Intimidation
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: N/A
Description: This is a technique that takes place inside of the area of the Shoyuuken.
The user will produce the required handseals and with their chakra will send anyone who charges or enters that area to be caught of balance and lifted only four or five feet into the air. This technique only lasts a single post and is used to catch the opponent off guard, giving the user time to make a move of their own.

Name: Shoyuuken: Flux
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: N/A
Description: This is a technique that takes place inside of the area of the Shoyuuken utilizing the ability of 'Pull Chakra'. Using their unique chakra the user will fluctuate the weight/density of all inanimate objects within the area of Shoyuuken. How much the user can change this varies, either three times heavier or three times lighter. If this is an opponents weapon it makes it extremely difficult, if not nearly impossible to weild.

Name: Shoyuuken: Crawl
Rank: C-A
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: N/A
Description: This is an active technique that takes place inside of the area of the Shoyuuken. The user gains the ability to slow down things within the area of the Shoyuuken itself. The technique can supposabley slow down targeted objects to half their original speed within the limits of their rank. Due to the resistance of constant contact this technique does not effect the user.
C-Rank: 0-20lbs - 50%, 20-40lbs - 25%, 50-60lbs - 10%, 61lbs+ - 0%
C - 50%, B - 25%, A - 10%, S - 0%

B-Rank: 0-50lbs - 50%, 50-75lbs - 25%, 75-90lbs - 10%, 61lbs+ - 0%
C - 75%, B - 60%, A - 45%, S - 0%

A-Rank: 0-75lbs - 75%, 75-115lbs - 60%, 115-135lbs - 30%, 120-135lbs+ - 0%

Name: Shoyuuken: Focus
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu (Passive)
Element: N/A
Description: This is a passive technique that takes place inside of the area of the Shoyuuken. This technique provides immunity to genjutsu equal to the rank of the technique whilst inside the area of the shoyuuken, thus all genjutsu that are used within the area of the Shoyuuken that are B-Rank and below are not effective. This counts for all genjutsu users, including the user if they also use a genjutsu.

Name: Shoyuuken: Concussion
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: N/A
Description: This is a technique that takes place inside of the area of the Shoyuuken. The user will gather an already existing amount of chakra in the Shoyuuken in front of themselves. With the release of their hands a large blast of chakra will be shot towards in incoming enemy, causing a large amount of physical damage. If this enemy was caught off guard or in the air, the damage would be more extensive.

Name: Shoyuuken: Erase
Rank: D-S
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: N/A
Description: This technique is used on any target that was summoned within the area of Shoyuuken. While a targeted item is under the effect of 'Shoyuuken' it becomes possible to 'unsummon' the summoned thing by expending an amount of chakra equal to the rank of the summoned target. E-ranked summons can be expelled automatically.

Name: Shoyuuken: Burden
Rank: A
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: N/A
Description: This is a technique that uses 'Pull Chakra' in combination with the area inside of the Shoyuuken. The user will slam their palms to the ground below them releasing their 'Pull Chakra' inside of the Shoyuuken, except for a small area around the user as they are not effected by this technique. Anything caught within this field of 'Pull Chakra' (i.e inside the Shoyuuken) will be pinned to the ground with extreme force. The strength of the pull can be increased by pouring more chakra into the Shoyuuken, however they cannot exert enough force to crush a person with this jutsu alone. Stronger shinobi have the ability to fight through and remain standing but the more chakra placed in the jutsu, the stronger the pull.

Name: Shoyuuken: Syphon
Rank: A
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: N/A
Description: This is a technique that takes place inside of the area of the Shoyuuken. This is a technique that uses the owners chakra within the Shoyuuken to leech small amounts of chakra from the opponent. Once a target is within the area of the Shoyuuken the user can activate the technqiue and that target will have their chakra slowly leech from them without their knowledge. Per post, a maximum quota of 10% of the targets total chakra can be drained and this technique stays active for as long as the orignial Shoyuuken is in place. The target wont even know that this is taking place, until it is too late and their chakra is drained completely.

Name: Shoyuuken: Fatigue
Rank: A
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: N/A
Description: This is a technique that takes place inside of the area of the Shoyuuken. This is a technique that is similar to the "Syphon" technique, but instead of leeching chakra from the target this technique uses the owners chakra within the Shoyuuken to drain small amounts of physical energy (i.e Stamina) from the opponent. Once a target is within the area of the Shoyuuken the user can activate the technqiue and that target will have their physical energy slowly drain from them without their knowledge. Per post, a maximum quota of 10% of the targets total stamina can be drained and this technique stays active for as long as the orignial Shoyuuken is in place. The more the targets moves with this technique in place the more they will become dramatically tired and unable to move thier body.

Name: Shoyuuken: Artificial Gravity
Rank: C-S
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: N/A
Description: This is a technique that uses 'Pull Chakra' in combination with the area inside of the Shoyuuken. The users chakra has properties that allow them to alter the density/weight of any object when it comes in contact with their chakra. This allows them the ability to freely control the density/weight of their own body and surrounding objects. Thus, clan members are able to make themselves lighter, heavier, jump great distances, move at faster speeds and increase the pull of weight and power behind a punch, kick or otherwise.

History:

The Hougaku Clan is a long standing clan from Kumogakure which has produced some of the most talented ninja in the village. Due to the skills of their kekkei Genkai they are widely respected by ninja and citizens from the village and other villages alike. They have been a long standing clan in Kumo and have had many respectful leaders on the Kumo Ninja Council Board so they have a large about of ‘pull’ (Pun intended) in the village when it comes to what goes on. The Hougaku Clan are by far the most wealthy clan in the village, and maybe the country. The main family, whom the leader of the clan derives from are particulary rich and are incredibly wealthy. Their main clan compound is situated near the east side of the village on the mountain side, of course, is very large. The clan area is a combination of many very old, but beautiful and elegant buildings. The largest building is the leader of the clan's home, which is a large mansion, and rivals even the Raikage's compound.

The Hougaku Clan has been known to produce very skilled and talented ninja and this is due to their Kekkei Genkai. Their bloodline ability is very powerful and is widely known around the Lightning Country. The clan has been around for a long time, and said to be one of the founding clans of Kumogakure, and with this they carry with them a large legacy and practice. In the clan itself, men are considered as the leaders of the clan, and the clan leader is always a man. This is due to their unique kekkei Genkai which is genetically passed down in majority always too the men of the clan, it is rare for a woman to inherite the ability. The clan holds a strong focus on reputation and doesn’t like it’s members putting it in disripute. But none-the-less the clan is more laid-back than that of say the Hyuuga. They were once a dominant clan not only due to their unique abilities but their size, but now the numbers in the clan are dwindling due to the lack of bloodline DNA passing onto new members. The bloodline which is passed down between clan members, seems to be decreasing and it is a worry that this unique bloodline might fade out of existance.

But clan members don't only become ninja. Some who are not inherited with the bloodline may still choose to become a ninja, or they may follow another path of interest. Even if one doesn't gain the bloodline they are still treated as family in the clan, as they aren't power hungry, or blindsided by it. The clan has a long heritage in community matters, and is more than apart of the village as a whole. Members are brought up to have a great compassion and respect for others. Their unique talents make them great breeders of taijutsu users who vary in style within the clan. Their talents are great for being ninja and they have produced many shinobi who have gone onto greater merits such as being apart of the "Flash Force" or Riku being Raikage. The clan decided to settle down in Kumogakure a long time ago, and hasn't changed since. The clan holds a great sense of national pride in the village, and doesn't take traitors to the clan or village lightly.
