Senju (Bloodline)

## Senju Background

The Senju clan (千手一族, Senju Ichizoku) was a group of shinobi that were the strongest, feared and most respected clan above all other clans in the ninja world during the war-torn era before the founding of the hidden villages. Together with their rivals — and distant relatives through a common ancestor — the Uchiha clan, they are responsible for founding the first hidden village named Konohagakure and making the village into what it is today. The clan has produced three of the five Hokage of Konoha: the First, Second, and the Fifth. Wood Release (木遁, Mokuton; Viz "Wood Style" ) 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. Wood Release Techniques (木遁の術, Mokuton no Jutsu) are commonly affiliated with the Snake seal.

## Senju Traits

* All Mokuton users have Doton [ Earth ] and Suiton [ Water ] as chakra elements.
* All Mokuton techniques are performed by the user through somantic gestures. This feature is non-applicable for those who inherent the clan through an implant.
* All Mokuton techniques that absorb chakra from demons transfer the drained chakra to replenish the nature chakra for the Senju bloodline sage mode. If the Senju bloodline sage mode is filled with the maximum amount of nature chakra it can store then any excess chakra is released harmlessly into nature.
* All Senju clan members are able to learn the demonic sealing techniques regardless of classes chosen.

## Senju Bloodline Sage Mode & Senjutsu Techniques

The Senju is a clan rich in life energy which gives birth to their unique Kekkei Genkai: Mokuton. 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 Senju 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. Wood techniques and Iryojutsu 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. This sage mode follows its own rules, and gives the listed Senjutsu techniques as well. Incompatible with another sage mode simultaneously or other forms of enhanced performances (demons, curse marks, etc).

Wind techniques and techniques that create concussive blasts or pressure waves are highly effective when used at S Rank, damaging the budding flowers before they bloom within a single topic. The pollen remains active in the air for six posts, keeping those within it unconscious for a total of eight posts, each person suffering 30 points of tenketsu rot each post.

Although this topic envelops the whole topic, it is not required to destroy the whole topic to neutralize the technique, as the collision rules still apply. While inside this forest the user can manipulate the trees to either defend or attack as a supplemental activation. The trees can also be used to bind targets. Any target which remains in this forest suffers ten points of tenketsu rot.
