Inuzuka clan

Clan Creation

Name: Inuzuka

Insignia:

Group color: #996666

Population Count: 65

Head of Household: n/a (as of yet)

Settlement Location: Hi no Kuni

History: The Inuzuka clan (Inuzuka Ichizoku) or Inuzuka family (Inuzuka-ke) is a family of shinobi in Hi no Kuni known for their use of ninken as fighting companions and are easily identified by the distinctive red fang markings on their cheeks.

The members are given their own canine partner(s) when they reach a certain age. Thereafter, the shinobi and their dog(s) are practically inseparable. The shinobi and canine allies fight using collaboration jutsu, such as the Fang Passing Fang or Fang Rotating Fang techniques amongst others, that take advantage of their teamwork and their sharp claws and teeth. The clan members are also able to communicate with canines even if the dogs cannot talk. The members of this clan, much like their canine partners, have greatly enhanced senses especially the sense of smell. By concentrating chakra to their noses, this sense is amplified to an even greater extent allowing the user to be able to detect, track and monitor targets from fairly long distance away. The clan's fighting style primarily revolves around their enhanced speed, strength and agility granted by the Four Legs Technique and other canine-based attacks, in conjunction with the tactical advantages granted by their heightened senses.

Kekkei Genkai/Bloodline Trait name: Four Legs Technique "Shikyaku no Jutsu "

Kekkei Genkai/Bloodline Trait: This technique grants animal-like accelerated fighting instinct and reflexes to the user. By enveloping their entire body in chakra and moving on all fours, they can obtain high speed movement and reflexes like that of a wild animal.

Taught only to the members of the Inuzuka clan, this technique forms the basis of a Inuzuka clan member's taijutsu fighting style, and will add even more to their feral-like appearances; their canine teeth, their finger and toenails grow to claw-like length, their eyes also become more wild with their pupils becoming slits.

When under the effects of this technique, an Inuzuka will display great feats of physical strength, speed, agility and endurance. The form is best suited for using and supporting the ferocious "hit-and-run" tactics that the clan is well known for, leaving the enemy barely any time to launch a counter attack.

Drawback(s): While the Four Legs technique is active, the Inuzuka is three times as susceptible to distortions in sound and smell than he/she normally would be. It lasts no more than twelve posts with a eight post cooldown. Duration as well as cooldown increases by two (B-rank) and by three (A-rank).

Clan (Hiden) Jutsu

Name: Fang Rotating Fang
Rōmaji: Gatenga
Canon: Yes
Classification: Taijutsu, Collaboration techniques
Rank: C, B (with Human beast Combination Transformation: Two-Headed Wolf)
Class: Offensive
Range: 10ft
Description: The user and their ninken partner roll at a ferocious speed in a buzz-saw like shape, and deliver many powerful beast-like attacks when contact is made with the target.
Drawback/Duration/Cooldown: Cooldown of three posts.

Name: Fang Passing Fang
Rōmaji: Gatsūga
Canon: Yes
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: C (alone), B (collaborative), A (with Human beast Combination Transformation: Two-Headed Wolf)
Class: Offensive, Collaboration techniques
Range: Maximum of 20ft
Description: The user spins at a ferocious speed and delivers many powerful beast-like attacks when contact is made with the target. The damage it can inflict on a human target can be extremely damaging, as it can readily tear through thick tree branches, stone and chakra reinforced earth wall; all of which with a radius thicker than the user itself. This attack is done alone but it can be done with a partner, making it more effective.
Drawback/Duration/Cooldown: Four post cooldown.

Name: Beast Human Clone
Rōmaji: Jūjin Bunshin
Canon: Yes
Classification: Ninjutsu, Clone Techniques
Rank: D
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self
Description: A modified version/mix of the Transformation Technique and clone technique, which is unique to the Inuzuka clan, allows a canine-user to transform their animal companion into a perfect copy of themselves. When combined with the Four Legs Technique, the user and the animal become virtually impossible to tell apart, since both act equally animalistic. This technique is often followed by the Fang Passing Fang.
Drawback/Duration/Cooldown: Like any transformation, the technique can be broken by identifying and attacking the animal, thus dispelling the transformation.

Name: Dynamic Marking
Rōmaji: Dainamikku Mākingu
Canon: Yes
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: D
Class: Supplementary
Range: Within a 15ft radius
Description: This technique involves the Inuzuka's ninken urinating on a target, marking it with a strong odor that allows both it and the Inuzuka to easily track the target(s) by scent. This is a prerequisite for using the Fang Wolf Fang, as the speed of the technique makes it impossible for the user to track targets by sight while using it. The urine can also be useful for temporarily blinding the target if it hits their eyes. This technique can also be performed while the Inuzuka and his/her ninken have transformed using the Human Beast Combination Transformation: Double-Headed Wolf.
Drawback/Duration/Cooldown: Four post cooldown.


Name: Human Beast Combination Transformation: Double-Headed Wolf
Rōmaji: Jinjū Konbi Henge: Sōtōrō
Canon: Yes
Classification: Ninjutsu, Collaboration techniques
Rank: B
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self
Description: A Combination Transformation where man and beast become a single entity. It is a specialty of the Inuzuka clan, a clan that has been walking side by side with ninken for generations. They fuse into a two-headed wolf, thus drastically increasing their size, and power. In their direct attacks, they demonstrate great efficiency. Furthermore, using techniques in addition to this gives birth to an extraordinary destructive power.
Drawback/Duration/Cooldown: Requires the Inuzuka in question to be at least B-rank. Lasts six posts. Eight post cooldown.
