Shishiyoke Clan

*"???."* -*???*

The **Shishiyoke Clan** (猪よけ, Boar Deterrent) is an ancient clan that currently lives in the land of Iron. They are neither Ninja nor Samurai, predating both concepts since their connection to the Sages of Six Paths is as ancient as those of the Senju and Uchiha, instead they are **Fujutsushi** (巫術師, Shaman).

## ***Clan Jutsu***

### *Fujutsu*

The Shishiyoke clan uses and teaches **Fujutsu** (巫術, Shaman Techniques) to its members rather than ninjutsu. Fujutsu are distinct from ninjutsu in mechanics in that they don't require the molding of chakra, nor the application of a nature release to be used, but they also can only be used after having contracting with a Sage animal or a Nin-animal, so that the users and the partner's physical and spiritual energies are linked accross vast distances. The most common Fujutsu used by the Shishiyoke clan and pratically the only one used by Shinobi is the **Kuchiyose no Jutsu** (口寄せの術, Summoning Technique) to summon forth an animal companion.

* **Kuchiyose no Jutsu** (口寄せの術, Summoning Technique) - A technique usable only after entering into a contract with a Sage Animal or an Animal-nin, where by combining spiritual energy lent by an animal and physical energy provided by the host the user is able to create a chakra construct clone of the animal the user has contracted with that is under the direct or subconscious control of the Sage Animal and Animal-nin that the contract was made with.
* **Gyaku Kuchiyose no Jutsu** (逆口寄せの術­ , Reverse Summoning Technique) A "reversed" version of the Kuchiyose where a summon will provide the physical energy while the user provides the spiritual energy allowing the summon creature to summon copies of user that the user instead controls.
	+ **Taishōsei Kuchiyose no Jutsu** (対称性口寄せの術, Symmetric Summoning Technique) An "advancement" of the reverse and regular summoning technique that forces a symmetry where there was an asymmetry allowing the user to expend physical energy and spiritual energy to summon a clone of themselves under their control. This effect is fundamentally different from other cloning techniques because the clone does not dissipate even when struck by enough damage, instead disappearing only when the technique is released, the spiritual and phsyical energy used up to create it is converted fully into chakra, or the summon is completely obliterated from existence.
		- **Kūchiyose no Jutsu** (**空**寄せの術, Creation From Nothing Technique) An advanced version of the summoning technique that becomes available once one learns to perform **Taishōsei Kuchiyose no Jutsu** (対称性口寄せの術, Symmetric Summoning Technique). By providing the spiritual energy of only a mental construct within one's mind, such as an imagined object one can then provide the physical energy and the chakra to perform Kuchiyose on that mental object summoning a material clone approximation of it into reality. Notably to perform this technique one must continuously and repeatedly strenghten this mental vision so that there's enough spiritual energy in this thought that it can then be "summoned" into reality, it cannot be used at will, requiring greater imagination than a supermajority of genjutsu.
	+ **Tajū Kuchiyose no Jutsu** (多重口寄せの術, Multiple Summoning Technique) A special Kuchiyose jutsu where the user will combine the spiritual energy of a summon with multiple instances of the user's own physical energy creating multiple summons with an hive mind linking them and their actions.
