History: The Senju clan (Senju Ichizoku) is a group of shinobi that are among the strongest, feared and most respected clan above many other rival clans in the ninja world.

The Senju clan descended from the younger of the two sons of the Sage of the Six Paths who was born with the "body" of the Sage, inheriting his father's strength of will and physical energy and believed that love was the key to bringing peace to the world. The Sage grew to favour the ideals of his younger son over those of his older son, who believed that power alone was the true key to finding peace. Therefore, on his deathbed it was the younger of the two brothers that the Sage chose to name as his successor. The elder brother, bitter and hateful at having being denied what he felt was rightfully his to inherit, attacked his younger sibling. The Uchiha clan would descend from the elder brother, resulting in the bitter centuries-long rivalry between the Senju and the Uchiha. While undisputed, the Senju's legendary rivalry with Uchiha clan was taken advantage of by countries that hire their services.

The Senju clan gained their fame in the era before the founding of the hidden villages. Where other clans focused on mastering one particular set of skills, the Senju were prodigious in all skills, from ninjutsu, to taijutsu, and genjutsu. Because of this, they were known as "the clan with a thousand skills" ("sen no te o motsu ichizoku"), which gave them their name "Senju" (Literally meaning ""a thousand skills", "a thousand hands"").

Kekkei Genkai/Bloodline Trait name: Wood Release "Mokuton"

Kekkei Genkai/Bloodline Trait: Wood Release (Mokuton) is an advanced nature kekkei genkai formed through simultaneous use of earth and water-based chakra natures to create wood, or complete trees. This ability can also be used to create other aspects of trees, such as seeds or even flowering plants. Wood Release techniques can be produced from anywhere, including the user's body, as the user's chakra is literally converted into a source of life.

Drawback(s): --

Clan (Hiden) Jutsu

Name: Wood Clone Technique
Rōmaji: Moku Bunshin no Jutsu
Canon: Yes
Classification: Kekkei Genkai, Ninjutsu, Clone Techniques
Rank: A
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self
Description: A clone that is created by using chakra to alter the user's own cells into vegetation. The clones can be as simple in function as a wooden dummy for use in the Body Replacement Technique or completely mobile and able to perform techniques. They have the ability to travel far from the user and are able to communicate with the original. Moreover, since the wood clone has the ability to merge with plants and trees, it is also great for reconnaissance missions. By directly touching the wood clone with his hand, the user can absorb the information it gathered and change the shape of the clone. Unlike the Shadow Clone Technique, the wood clone doesn't disappear when hit and even appears to take the damage. If a wood clone is changed into a seed and ingested into the body or left on a target, it can be used as a transmission device of sorts. The user can use these to track their target as the seeds respond to their chakra only.
Drawback/Duration/Cooldown: The wood clone lasts for a maximum of ten posts or until destroyed. Cooldown of ten posts.

Name: Wood Release Secret Technique: Nativity of a World of Trees
Rōmaji: Mokuton Hijutsu: Jukai Kōtan
Canon: Yes
Classification: Kekkei Genkai, Ninjutsu
Rank: A-S
Class: Offensive, Defensive, Supplementary
Range: 30m radius (A), 60m radius (S)
Description: The user forces trees to grow on any surface, easily creating a dense forest anywhere they choose. A small plant can grow into a forest in an instant. By generating chakra, the user maneuvers it as they see fit for attack and defense; and furthermore, this powerful technique even allows them to capture the enemy at the same time. With their tremendous life force, the trees can pierce through earthen walls, and extend their branches at their prey in an instant.
Drawback/Duration/Cooldown: Cooldown of twelve posts. If trapped by this technique, it lasts for a maximum of four posts or until the branch is destroyed.

Name: Wood Release: Foo Dog Heads
Rōmaji: Mokuton: Foo no Inu no Atama
Canon: Yes
Classification: Kekkei Genkai, Ninjutsu, Chakra Absorption Techniques
Rank: B
Class: Supplementary
Range: A maximum of 10m-35m
Description: A technique used to absorb a tailed beast's chakra. The user produces the "sit" (座, suwaru) kanji on their palm and creates a series of wooden pillars, which are engraved with what resemble foo dog faces and have lit wicks on top of them. When the user slams their palm on the ground, the wooden statues rush towards the target and absorb its chakra.
Drawback/Duration/Cooldown: The chakra absorption persists for five posts or until the Foo Dog Heads are destroyed. Cooldown of eight posts.

Name: Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees
Rōmaji: Mokuton: Kajukai Kōrin
Canon: Yes
Classification: Kekkei Genkai, Ninjutsu
Rank: S
Class: Offensive, Supplementary
Range: 50m
Description: Taking advantage of the innate properties of Wood Release which allows the user to force trees to grow on any surface in an instant, the user creates a dense forest of flowering trees. The pollen produced by these flowers is then released into the atmosphere and when inhaled, renders any afflicted target unconscious.

With enough willpower, it is possible to regain consciousness. However, in order to counter the technique fully, either the trees themselves must be destroyed completely or the target must continue to remain elevated above the dispersed pollen.
Drawback/Duration/Cooldown: Lasts ten posts, or until the trees used with this technique are destroyed. It's more possible for someone that's the same rank of this technique or a rank lower than it to have the will to overcome the effects of the pollen. There's a much smaller chance of doing so for characters B rank or lower until after four posts in a thread, which increases the chance of overcoming it by a fourth.

Name: Wood Release: Underground Roots Technique
Rōmaji: Mokuton: Chika no Ne Jutsu
Canon: Yes
Classification: Kekkei Genkai, Ninjutsu
Rank: C, A
Class: Offensive, Defensive
Range: 3m radius (C), 20m radius (A)
Description: Using the Wood Release, a user can manipulate the terrain, bringing out underground roots of varying sizes to fit various offensive situations, such as using the roots for trickery, misdirection and restriction. One can also use a large scale version, bringing out massive roots over a larger area that tangle around each other with such force that any one caught in-between is violently crushed to death.
Drawback/Duration/Cooldown: Cooldown of three posts (C-rank) six posts (A-rank).
