Uzumaki (Bloodline)

## The Tradition of the Typhoon

The Uzumaki clan (うずまき一族, Uzumaki Ichizoku) was a prominent clan in Uzushiogakure. They were distant blood relatives of the Senju clan and as such, both were on good terms; an alliance that extended onto their hidden villages — Konohagakure and Uzushiogakure. The shinobi of Konoha integrated Uzushiogakure's symbol onto their uniforms and flak jackets as well as on the shoulders of their uniforms as a sign of friendship and goodwill between the two villages, and continue to do so to this day, in memory of their friendship even years after Uzushiogakure's destruction.

Originating from the Senju clan, the Uzumaki distinguished themselves from their predecessors by becoming very knowledgable in the art of Fuinjutsu, and were both respected and feared worldwide because of their prodigous skill in it. Though noted to be cruel in their methods this lead to the destruction of Uzushiogakure, or land of whirlpools during the era of shinobi world wars. With the destruction of their homeland the Uzumaki fled their home land and scattered throughout the world and went into hiding.

## Uzumaki Traits

* Uzumaki generally have red or blonde hair, though this is not a requirement, rather a suggestion.
* Uzumaki techniques are considered fuuinjutsu, as well as bloodline ninjutsu. This means that they get overwhelming on anything which grants overwhelming to bloodline or sealing.
* Demonic Sealing: By spending [1] Post sealing or adjusting the seal of a Demon Host, said Demon Host has the training for their Demon Stages reduced from [5] Paragraphs to [1].
* Secret Mark Seal Enhance: When encountering the Fuuin Secret Mark Seal: Release [ Shīkurettomākushīru: Rirīsu ], an Uzumaki is able to double the amount of chakra contained in the seal by optimizing the seal.

## Way of the Uzumaki

Due to their close relations with the Senju clan and the clan's own naturally strong will, Uzumaki have learned how to properly harness Nature Chakra in order to empower themselves enough to combat Bijuu enough to seal them away. They passively gather 50 Nature Energy per post regardless of whether in combat or not. They can also gather 150 nature chakra per post if they meditate, requiring their offensive action to do so. This results in a natural specialized sage mode that the Uzumaki can access at B body rank.

The amount of Nature Chakra they can maintain/gather is equal to 1/5 of their combined maximum chakra and stamina. Once activated, the sage mode can be maintained for 10 posts. After which, to reenter the user must have fully replenished their nature chakra. Maruton and Fuuinjutsu overwhelm same ranked techniques. If overwhelming is already possessed, the techniques are treated as one rank higher. The class stat cap of the user is increased by [2] points. Sage mode will increase all stats to reach this cap. In addition, the Uzumaki is given an extra action (offensive, defensive, etc) purely for Fuuinjutsu or Uzumaki techniques. This sage mode follows its own rules, and gives the listed Senjutsu techniques as well. This Sage Mode is incompatible with other Sage Modes, Curse Marks, or anything similar

**▰ Sage Art: Magnificent Display Echo Rasengan [ Senpō: Dōdō Hakimei Rasengan ] | Rank S**

A variant of the Rasengan that utilizes Nature Chakra, that carries all the effects of the regular Rasengan. However, the user imbues this Rasengan with Nature Chakra, giving it elemental affinity of every base element (Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Lightning) at once. This keeps the elemental strength against incoming ninjutsu, but it is not affected by elemental weaknesses. If hit with this Rasengan, any Demonic Stages or Curse Marks are ended. While this Rasengan is composed of all five elements, it is considered Maruton for purposes of Sage Modes or similar effects. The user may also pay a full S+ amount of Nature Chakra to make this Rasengan into an Oodama variant.

**▰ Sage Art: Gate of the Great God [ Senpō: Myōjinmon ] | Rank S**

The user manifests a select number of massive red torii that fall down from above, in order to pin an intended target between the gate and the ground. The size and strength of these torii is such that they can even be used to immobilize Bijuu, but the size can be adjusted freely. This technique inflicts Tier 4 Hex to anyone trapped underneath it, and is considered overwhelming to anyone bearing a Bijuu or a Curse mark, and is also overwhelming against Yokai.

**▰ Reaper Death Seal [ Fuuinjutsu: Shiki Fuuin ] | Rank S+**

While the instant death Reaper Death Seal has been lost to time, the members of the Uzumaki have their own version of the jutsu. While summoning the ghostly apparition of the God of Death, the Uzumaki will rush and grab their opponent at which point this jutsu will take affect. The God of Death will reach into the target and pull out a portion of their soul and cut it off from the rest of their soul. This results in the target losing the ability to use two of their limbs once they have been taken by the God of Death. This effect places the target under Tier 4 Hex, Tier 4 Burning, and Tier 4 Paralysis to the selected limbs. Removing this effect requires [8] posts of care from a Scholar class Ninja, or [5] from a Scholar Specialist. Once the God of Death is summoned, the Uzumaki has [3] posts before the jutsu ends, requiring an S rank amount of chakra per post in Upkeep. The cost of this technique, in addition to it's S+ amount of chakra, is the total depletion of the Uzumaki's Nature Chakra pool and immediately ends their Sage Mode.

## Bloodline Attributes

**▱▰▱ Heritage of Whirlpools |** Because of the clan’s lineage from Senju, the users are able to store 200 additional nature chakra with either their sage mode or curse marks. If the ninja has neither then this additional chakra is not applicable but may claim it for their base chakra pool. This decision can be changed later without a respec.

**▱▰▱ Touch of the Boundless |** The Uzumaki can create any and all seals, and therefore cast any sealing technique - no matter how intricate or complex - upon a single touch of their palm without handseals. This alternative method for Fuuin must still adhere to the alternative jutsu casting clause as chakra must still be gathered to accomplish a technique as a seal isn't instantly created. In addition, with one-touch and one action, the Uzumaki is able to summon up to three creatures from a contract for only the chakra cost of the highest-ranked creature summoned.

**▱▰▱ Kitsune's Wit |** The clever Uzumaki are famous for being the world's supreme scholar shinobi. As such, they are able to access Flying Thunder God even without Scholar specialization and if they have Scholar specialization then they can use the technique to transport themselves for only [40] chakra instead of [80] and this is the lowest it can possibly be reduced in cost. The Uzumaki is also able to use techniques or weapons sealed on a scroll twice instead of once. Finally, the user can use techniques which destroy scrolls without destroying the scroll used once per fight. Selecting this attribute requires the Scholar class.

## Uzumaki Techniques

**▰ Seal Hijack [ Fuuin Haijakku ] | Rank X**

Allows the user to take control of any fuuin not their own by touching it. By paying the cost of the fuuin technique the user can form handseals to use the seal within direct eye sight. This can also be used to de-activate a seal a user has manifested. The duration last as much as the initial technique. Does not work against sealing technique which launch techniques from scrolls, but this technique can be used to disarm them. Seals which fire projectiles will have the momentum of their weapons cease to a halt, and seals which create attacks of chakra will have those attacks canceled out.

**▰ Chakra Chains: Armed [ Kemono Fuuin: Shitai ] | Rank X**

From the user's body sprouts dozens of metal chains which are molded solely by chakra. Despite their metal look they are not magnetic. The chains move to the whims of the user and can be used offensively or defensively. If the chains come into collision with a ninjutsu of equal or lower rank to the chains then the chains may envelop the technique and seal it away, causing the technique to manifest into one of the user's scrolls. The user can then fire the technique back at the opponent by paying the same cost of the technique sealed. If these chains bind an opponent then the opponent is drained of chakra and stamina equal to half of the rank the chains are used at. Equal rank of chakra is then required to break free from the chains. These chains last for two post per rank used.

**▰ Chakra Chains: Uprising [ Kemono Fuuin: Hōki ] | Rank X**

The Uzumaki may perform handseals or place a seal on the ground. Afterwards, delaying up to [1] post, a large plethora of chakra chains will weave out from the ground and will launch rapidly at the target in order to constrain them. While in contact with the chains, the target will begin to have their life energy slowly sapped, draining chakra and stamina equal to half the rank of the technique. Equal rank chakra is required to escape the chains once bound. These chains cost an Activation to place, but no chakra cost. However they cost their rank in chakra to trigger, but no activation once set.These chains last for [2] post per rank used.

**▰ Flying Thunder God Slash [ Hiraijingiri ] | Rank B**

By utilizing a Flying Raijin seal already placed on the battlefield, the opponent, or an object, etc., the user is able to teleport to it and attack the opponent at a high rate of speed from any angle. The user is able to pay for the cost of a Bukijutsu technique in the same activation, as long as it is the same rank as this technique when cast. This Bukijutsu technique ignores the target's Agility stat.

**▰ Grasp of the Vortex [ Uzu no Haaku ] | Rank B**

Creates a set of two spiritual, faint blue arms spanning out from the Uzumaki's shoulders and extending up to twelve feet. These arms cannot perform physical combat and cannot perform hand seals. However, they can place seals on targets through contact, are granted [1] Activation strictly for Fuuinjutsu, and can korabo with the Uzumaki in order to perform Fuuinjutsu. These arms last for [6] post.

**▰ Defense of the Vortex [ Uzu no Mamoru ] | Rank A**

The Uzumaki will either create a seal on the ground, or perform a small string of handseals. Immediately after, a spiraling shield of 'water' - truthfully a sealing barrier - will appear before the Uzumaki, defending them from attacks and swiveling to their flank and back to protect them from any direction necessary. The dimensions of the shield can be changed, and it can be picked up and wielded. Finally, by paying the additional cost, the shield can become a different sealing technique of the user's choice for no additional activation.

**▰ Spiraling Flash Super Round Dance Howl Style Three [ Rasen Senkō Chō Rinbukō Sanshiki ] | Rank A**

The Uzumaki will start by throwing objects (shuriken, sword, etc) around the battlefield. The only requirement is that these objects are marked with the Flying Raijin seal. The Uzumaki will be able to teleport to each of these of objects and attack with a Basic Combat attack on the opponent for only the activation of this technique, while paying the cost in stamina for the strike. The cost of this jutsu can be repaid for every opponent the Uzumaki is targeting but can only attack each once per usage. This technique removes any Agility bonuses to the target(s).

**▰ Chakra Chains: Contain [ Kemono Fuuin: Fukumu ] | Rank S**

From the user erupts a plethora of golden chains. These chains are drawn to all of the weapons and armor in the area, both exposed ninja tools and ninja tools in pouches. These chains can phase through physical objects to make contact with weapons in the most direct manner as possible. Once the chains are made, which is done nearly instantly, the chains all return to the user, and all of the equipment is sealed within a vacant scroll of the user. If the user has no vacant scrolls then this technique just brings all of the items to the user's feet. The opponent may counter their weapons being sealed by paying an S-ranked amount of chakra and two activations to negate the chains for a turn. Has a [4] post cooldown.

**▰ Chakra Chains: Barrier [ Kemono Fuuin: Kekkai ] | Rank S+**

This technique sprouts golden chains from the ground, that form a protective dome-like barrier of fuuin energy, encompassing a very large area (up to a thread). The barrier in question is nearly impenetrable, and while it is constructed around the user and any others caught within, cannot be escaped by any means, save for an S+ rank technique, or an S+ dodge system usage. It also has overwhelming on techniques of equal rank and below and can seal away Jutsu that it blocks. When it blocks Tai or Buki, it inflicts Tier 4 Hex

**▰ Flying Thunder God — Second Step [ Hiraishin — Ni no Dan ] | Rank S+**

A more advanced variant of the Flying Thunder God technique. The jutsu starts with the Uzumaki throwing an object marked with the Flying Raijin seal at the opponent. The Uzumaki will then teleport to the seal and follow up with a Basic Combat attack. However, if the user knows the Rasengan and any of its variants, they can use them in place of this Basic Combat strike for one rank less in cost. This technique only uses one activation, but requires two to avoid/block: one for the object, another for the follow up. Has a [3] post cooldown.
