## Abilities

During the warring era, the Chinoike Clan won fame and recognition from Daimyo from the Land of Lightning for their unique fighting skills and genjutsu. By assassinating, bombing with Exploding Human and other malicious methods, framing others for the crime, and sacrificing many other people through the use of genjutsu's so they can commit the deed, they eventually ascended to greatness in their country, but eventually fate bit back in the form of the Daimyo's other wife, which ended the bloodline of the clan leaving only two surviving members. Through their two descendants Chino and En Oyashiro, the two shown to be quite an aptitude for any combat-oriented situation like their rival the Uchiha Clan who were bred for all manner of war as well both clan's advanced growth rate that seems unnatural compared to other clans throughout history, adaptive reflexes, and cunning minds. The strong, potent chakra in their bodies and their life force allows them to age differently as well as a few other clans blessed with this gene. Each Chinoike is extremely proficient at the water nature transformation, while others have gained such a wealth of knowledge and skill that they can perform water release techniques with only one hand seal or none at all, a rare sight in comparison to Hashirama Senju's glory day. The Chinoike have also used tools directly tied to the infamous Jashin Cult and various other culture-made weapons to perform agile, precise, and cuts into the opponent.

## Dōjutsu

The Chinoike are famous for their Ketsuryūgan, a dōjutsu that, when active, makes their eyes appear blood-red. The Ketsuryūgan allows them to perform powerful genjutsu, of comparable strength to the Uchiha clan's Sharingan. They can also use the Ketsuryūgan to manipulate liquids that have high iron contents, such as blood or the water that naturally flows in the Valley of Hell. Before they can manipulate such liquids, it is necessary that they imbue it with their own chakra.
