Kamizuru Clan

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

 Leader:

The **Kamizuru Clan** (上水流, *Clear Water*) is an important clan from Iwagakure founded by children of Shirogumo emulating her mother's special summoning and insect controlling techniques and expanding on them.

## ***History***

The Shirogumo clan was founded during the reign of Shirogumo and were given prominence alongside the Aburame clan due to their prowess with insect use and due to many of their members joining the special secret ninja force of Iwagakure, mimicking the Anbu of konohagakure.

## ***Clan Jutsu***

### *Kamizuru Style Bug Jutsus*

* **Yōton: Taikanshiki no Jutsu** (陽遁・戴冠式の術, *Yang Release: Coronation Jutsu*) [Hidden Jutsu] - A special jutsu used by the Kamizuru which inscribes the contract of the summoning technique as useless genetic material in the Kamizuru shinobi's DNA and the DNA of their respective "queen" with the use of Yang release. This jutsu when first used will also turn an insect into a "Queen" version of that insect and confer upon it the ability to reproduce asexually, and thus potentially generate an infinite number of "permanent clones" of itself so long as its fed food and the chakra of its caretaker to eat. Each child of the queen has the potential to become a new queen should the old one die (or not) by simply giving it some of the chakra of the contract maker, and every child is born "bonded" and under the summoning contract allowing them all to be summoned by the specific Kamizuru ninja which made the contract.
	+ **Yōton: Shizen Tōta** (陽遁・自然淘汰, *Yang Release: Natural Selection Jutsu*) [Hidden Jutsu] - A yang release technique which forces an insect with the Kamizuru contract DNA to force their essential DNA to mutate and instantly manifest this mutation on its body so as to enable the rapid evolution of a new type of insect. The Kamizuru clan makes use of this technique to quickly generate new kinds of fantastical insects and store them in their hives for later use and summoning since unlike the Aburame the Kamizuru insects tend to be long lived and thus cannot evolve mid battle. Typically each Kamizuru will use this technique to generate a **Sensory** type insect, a **Jamming** type insect and a **Combat** type insect at minimum, though how many types they store is up to the individual.
* **Kamizuru Kuchiyose no Jutsu** (上水流 口寄せの術­, *Kamizuru Style Summoning Jutsu*) [Hidden Jutsu] - Also known as simply **Kamizuru no Jutsu** is a unique type of summoning technique unique to the Kamizuru clan which requires no hand-signs and which is capable of summoning insects they are "bonded" to with little chakra expenditure and no need to provide blood. Notably while this technique is more efficient than normal summoning and much faster it is also unable to be used in reverse due to the nature of the contract and thus Kamizuru ninjas cannot be summoned and teleported by their insects as a way to avoid damage.
* **Meijiru no Jutsu** (命じるの術, *Command Jutsu*) [Hidden Jutsu] - A kind of genjutsu and yin release like ability used by the Kamizuru to control their insects more precisely after being summoned instead of relying on their loyalty. This jutsu allows one to arrange their insects into formations and to enact complex plans and strategies instead of simply allowing them to attack and act as they naturally would. Unlike most jutsu the meijuru no jutsu often has be customized on the fly, however variations can be memorized. Use of this jutsu will also snap the bugs out of genjutsu and similar techniques making it invaluable against opponents that can control bugs.

## ***Insects***

Although the traditional insect associated with Kamizuru is bees, wasps and hornets due to their ease of being raised and useful abilities not all Kamizuru make use of bees and can in fact make use of any kind of insect potentially.
