Shirogumo

*"Itsy bitsy spider, crawling up your neck."* -*Shirogumo*

**Shirogumo** (白蜘蛛; *White-Spider*) is the **Second Tsuchikage** (土影; *Earth Shadow*). A prodigy ninja well versed in Yang Release and its applications, she is said to have been the progenitor of the **Kamizuru** (上水流, *Clear Water*) Clan of Insect Users and the **Bushukan** (仏手柑, *Fingered Citron*) Clan of Multi-Body Part Users and at least 12 other lesser clans since she seemingly birthed more than 100 shinobi during her entire life from at least 14 different confirmed men.

## ***Personality***

### **Quirks**

* **Horny**: Shirogumo was extremely horned.
* **Vindictive**: She was also apparently very vindictive and never forgave grudges. Her vindictiveness earned Iwagakure a lot of enemies in her reign, and even today a lot of enemies of Iwagakure can be traced back to Shirogumo's willingness to pursue any slight made against her.

## ***History***

### **Background**

Shirogame was born to a prostitute and never meant to be a ninja but her mother was a very sought after prostitute and she would often come in contact with ninjas. One day a jonin there to have fun with her mother noticed that Shirogumo possessed talent and enrolled her in the academy.

She quickly revealed herself an absolute prodigy and quickly graduated, creating many new jutsu specifically jutsu using Yang chakra which she was incredibly adept at using.

After a lot of murdering, enacting revenge on people for the stupidest things and banging a large percentage of the village she was made Tsuchikage after the passing of the old Tsuchikage.

## ***Abilities***

### *Taijutsu*

Shirogumo was incredibly talented at Taijutsu and was a user of a very aggressive yet immobile style of fighting where she blended her special Yang Release: Multi-Arms Techniques to absolutely devastate opponents in close quarters.

### *Ninjutsu*

#### **Special Summoning & Manipulation Jutsu: Spiders**

For more information see: Kamizuru Clan
Shirogume is said to have primarily fought using summoned and controlled spiders in a manner *distinct* from the Aburame Clan but in a way which later became associated with the Kamizuru Clan (上水流, *Clear Water*) which she is credited as founding in part. The main distinction between the Aburame Style and Kamizuru Style of insect manipulation is that the Kamizuru's hives are kept hidden away in their own territory and use a special summoning jutsu to summon their insects during combat while the Aburame keep their insects inside them at all times.

Shirogume's own special "spider nest" supposedly still exists in a cave inside the Land of Stone and the spiders which reside there are ***not*** friendly to anyone and much like her owner they refuse to befriend anyone. She would normally not bother summoning small spiders to swarm opponents and would just summon her favorite **Kuro-chan** a massive black widow-tarantula-jumping spider unholy fusion the size of the biggest of summons and have her trap them in silk and digest them on the spot.

#### **Yang Release: Multi-Arms Jutsu**

For more information see: Bushukan Clan
Shirogume and her prodigious Yang release usage allowed her to generate a large number of extra arms using her original **Fukusū Ude Jutsu**(複数の腕, Multi-Arms). She is also credited with a lot of it's sub techniques including the **Kasei Jutsu** (化生, Metamorphosis/Mutation) which allows her to semi-permanently incorporate extra limbs or body parts seamlessly into her biology and the **Fugu** Jutsu (不具, Deformity) which allows her to create the body parts of another animal onto her biology and incorporate it seamlessly.

Using these 3 jutsus Shirogumo was said to always have at least 4 arms; was able to not only produce silk and poison at will from every gland in her body but was able to rival even the byakugan in close combat sensory abilities by dotting her face with "beauty marks" that were in reality many kinds of eyes enabling her to see all around her and perceive attacks better.

#### **Earth Release**

As a ninja of Iwagakure Shirogumo was well versed in Earth Release mostly because of how it relates to the culture of Iwagakure and its utility in day to day life and Iwagakure battle strategies. She did not seem to particularly enjoy using it in solo combat however.

### *Genjutsu*

Shirogume was supposedly very skilled at Genjutsu but did not consider it a specialty of hers.
