- Gokan o burendo [ Blended Senses ]
Enhanced Synesthesia, a neurological phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic and involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway, is thought to have been a cross-wiring in the earliest Puredetā member's brain, but through years of breeding it was found to be genetic. Without having physically gone into a Puredetā's brain it is thought that they posses a cross-wiring in their brains that have linked together their sense of smell with their sense of sight, thus allowing them to see smells of all odor ranges. With this developed form of Synesthesia the Puredetā have stayed trued to the literal translation of their names by becoming the ultimate Predators. By gaining such a mastery over the cross-wiring of their brain's they have developed a series of techniques that incorporate their other senses into their synesthetic experience.

Or as is it is commonly referred to amongst the members of the Puredetā clan in modern day, Jōkiton [ Steam Release ] has been achieved through a biological mutation within their bodies. Rather than sweat glands located throughout the body, now a fluid filled sack-like gland replaces these. When the unique properties of the Puredetā chakra act on this gland the contents inside begin to boil and then a vapour releases through their pores as chakra enriched Steam with a base temperature of 212º F (100º C), giving a new meaning to the term 'Steam Power'. This unique feature to their body causes them to lack the ability to sweat and subsequently making their body's base temperature reaching 121º F, definitely hot to the touch, but sustainable to those with a bit of a pain tolerance. While in motion the abnormal temperature of their bodies will slowly cause the contents within their gland to boil and produce steam which will have to be released by the user every two posts.
[/size]- D Rank | The steam produced by techniques of this rank can cause flinching to occur, opponents would typically pull the afflicted area away from the source, if not the C Rank effects occur.
- C Rank | The steam produced by techniques of this rank can cause first degree burns effecting only the outer layer of skin, the epidermis. The inflicted area is usually red and very painful and healing through traditional methods last 3-5 days, or two posts using a Ijutsu technique of equivalent rank.

- A Rank | The steam produced by techniques of this rank can cause up to second degree burns with full thickness effectively destroying entire epidermis and most of the dermis. The inflicted area is left red or white in appearance, but will appear dry. Although sensation is present, it is diminished causing the use of Taijutsu to be diminished by a single tier in the inflicted area for 4 posts while intense pain sets in. There is no traditional method of healing present, thus an Ijutsu user of Adept level an higher will need to perform an Ijutsu technique of the same rank in conjunction with skin grafting to inflicted areas for a duration of two posts.
- S Rank | The steam produced by techniques of this rank are of the highest caliber reaching up to third degree burns wherein all layers of skin is destroyed which extends into the subcutaneous tissues.

There is no traditional method of healing present and if medical attention isn't sought out the user will experience death in 4 posts, Ijutsu users of Mastery level will need to perform an Ijutsu technique of the same rank in conjunction with skin grafting to an inflicted areas for a duration of two posts and for Ijutsu users of Adept level the post duration goes up to 4 posts.
- D Rank | The steam produced by techniques of this rank can cause flinching to occur, opponents would typically pull the afflicted area away from the source, if not the C Rank effects occur.

Taste | By concentrating chakra to their taste buds this allows them to makeup the composition of that which passes into their mouths if identifiable by the user. This includes foods, materials, and poisons.
Sight | By concentrating chakra to their eyes members can increase the distance at which they can see, shifting between distances is a true skill to this ability, but overuse can cause strain on the muscle.
Touch | By concentrating chakra to throughout their bodies they can increase their sensory receptors, intercepting vibrations in a given area or through a substance as long as contact is made.
Hearing | By concentrating chakra to their ears members can increase the distance at which he can hear up to. Heartbeats within a 10 M range can be discerned by a user if focused upon.

Name: Puredetā Hijutsu: Gekitai no Jutsu | Puredetā Art: Repel Technique
Rank: D
Type: Kekkei Genkai | Taijutsu
Used For: Supplementary
Element: N/A
Range: 5 Feet
Duration: One (1) post
Hand Seals/Charge up: None
Description: The first of three staple techniques taught to any Puredetā clansmen. Focusing chakra to the special glands that their body houses allows for a Puredetā member to rapidly produce and expel chakra enriched steam in a concussive manner from a fixed point on their body through a directed pattern, typically along the lengths of the arms and expelled from the palms. The force, temperature, and distance at which the jet of steam is expelled and can reach make this technique ideal for knocking weaponry or any other unsuspecting bystander off course that gets to close for comfort. In addition, any metal object that this technique works upon will remain sweltering hot for a single post afterward making those outside of the Puredetā unable to touch these weapons, otherwise risk succumbing to first degree burns.
Weakness: Distance.
Name: Puredetā Hijutsu: Suishin no Jutsu | Puredetā Art: Propulsion Technique
Rank: D
Type: Kekkei Genkai | Taijutsu
Used For: Supplementary
Element: N/A
Range: Self | 10 Feet
Duration: One (1) Post
Hand Seals/Charge up: None
Description: The second of three staple techniques taught to any Puredetā clansmen. Focusing chakra to the special glands that their body houses allows for a Puredetā member to rapidly produce and expel chakra enriched steam in a concussive manner from a fixed point on their body through a directed pattern, typically along from the feet through a stomping or pushing motion. This acts to propel the user in any given direction so long as their is significant force to counter the push, thus why the feet are the typical choice since they have the ground as support. This technique is capable of being performed in air, but the distance is reduced to half. Lastly, any object coming into contact with these steams succumb to a first degree burn in the area of contact.
Weakness: Must have an opposing force on land, the distance is halved while mid-air.
Name: Puredetā Hijutsu: Jōki Kikan no Jutsu | Puredetā Secret Art: Steam Engine Technique
Rank: D
Type: Kekkei Genkai | Taijutsu
Used For: Supplementary
Element: N/A
Range: Self
Duration: Maintainable
Hand Seals/Charge up: None
Description: The third of the three staple techniques taught to any Puredetā clansmen. Their chakra encases their special steam producing glands which causes the steam to remain in their bodies constantly building up pressure, thus providing an edge to their practice in Taijutsu over others in the same tier on grounds of strength. In addition, temperature of the built up steam within the users causes their base body temperature to rise from 121ºF to 212ºF, thus causing First Degree Burns upon contact with the user. Throughout the use of this technique the shell encasing the users glands becomes reddened which, due to the nature of skin, can be seen as Puredetā member's bodies turning red giving off the "hot" appearance to match the effect.
Upon releasing this technique the user will also release a fifteen meter (15 M) cloud of steam from their bodies, no harm can come from this on an opponent, but it's content is the stable for other Puredetā jutsu.
Weakness: The users location is given away when the technique is released. The users skin tone is a good indication that the technique is in use.

Range: 25 M
Duration: Maintainable
Hand Seals/Charge up: Half-Ram

Gokan o burendo was the result, this technique allowing a Puredetā clansmen to link two of their senses together at choice.
Weakness: This technique effectively halves the overall distance at which a Puredetā's enhanced senses perform. Overloading of either of the two senses will cause a multitude of problems for a clansmen.
Name: Puredetā Hijutsu: Ideyu no Jutsu | Puredetā Art: Hot Springs Technique
Rank: D
Type: Kekkei Genkai
Used For: Supplementary
Element: N/A
Range: 25 M
Duration: 3 Posts
Hand Seals/Charge up: Hand Clap
Description: Through the use of this technique members of the Puredetā clan rapidly produce and expel from their bodies a chakra enriched mist which spans out a given area with the user at the center, this technique effectively serves a multitude of purposes. Firstly, the temperature at which the steam causes sweating of the body among biological beings does not discriminate between friend and foe. Second, visibility is not hindered, but untrained eyes remaining within the given area longer than 2 posts will begin to tear up uncontrollably causing sight to be blocked for a single post. Thirdly, through being released from the users body and containing their chakra, this technique effectively shields an opponent from sensing a user of an equal or lesser tier in the skill.
Weakness: A single Fuuton | Wind Release technique of a single rank lower can disrupt this technique.
Clan History:
- Spoiler:
- Puredetā members history has become lost in time, what little fact that has remained and passed along through word of mouth has progressively become intertwined with folk lore. Some offering that their origins remain with the one known as Han, jinchuuriki of the Gobi | Five-Tailed Bijuu, while others rebutting with the origins of their clan remaining with Amaterasu, the sun goddess, and their older at the peak of a volcano. Whatever the real truth is, in more recent years the clan has found themselves residing in the Lightning Country within the Kumogakure no Sato | Village Hidden in the Clouds.
A clan compound has been established within the perimeter of the village, some 150 members reside here with the majority of the clan's youth joining the military ranks. Other's who pursue a different path than that of a shinobi help run the multiple saunas found across the shinobi world among many of the great villages.
