Clan Name: Ikimonogaku
Clan element/'s: No.
Special characteristics/traits: See ability
Location: Kirigakure
Bloodline Name: -
Bloodline Ability: This clan does not so much as have a technical kekkeigenkai; it is simply an ability obtainable through secret techniques known by the clan members. Their techniques allow for the manipulation of the pH levels in people, liquids, gases, and even other solids. For those who don't know too much on pH, refer to the following information retrieved from Elmhurst College:
- Spoiler:
- Acidic and basic are two extremes that describe a chemical property chemicals. Mixing acids and bases can cancel out or neutralize their extreme effects. A substance that is neither acidic nor basic is neutral.
The pH scale measures how acidic or basic a substance is. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. A pH of 7 is neutral. A pH less than 7 is acidic. A pH greater than 7 is basic.
Secret Clan Jutsu:
Name: Acidity 1-UP
Rank: D
Type: Ninjutsu
Used For: Both
Element: Water
Range: 1 - 10 meters
Duration: Two Posts
Hand Seals/Charge up: Snake
Description: The Acidity 1-UP is a helpful technique that the Genin clan members first learn. Using this technique, the member will not only eject the water technique, but also masses of CO2, acidifying their technique.
Weakness: The greater the distance away the water technique goes, the less the acidity will be. This technique can be especially costly when using more higher-leveled techniques on enemies.
Name: Backhand
Rank: C
Type: Taijutsu
Used For:Both
Element: -
Range: 1-2 Meters
Duration: Maximum 2 Posts
Hand Seals/Charge up: One post
Description: The Backhand is a rather technique used by the clan. Utilizing their skin as a pH center, they are able to manipulate the levels of CO2 located on the skin of the hand, changing it from a harmless neutral pH level to the desired extreme pH level. Utilizing this, they can raise the CO2 to make the hands acidic to the enemy's touch or particular attacks; similarly, they lower the CO2 concentration so any incoming acidity will be negated to a certain degree, reducing incoming damage due to it. Overall, it's most effective as an attacking power.
Weakness: Lets see: Range. Not complete blocking of acids. And the short time.
Name: GET IN MY BELLY
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Used For: Offensive
Element: -
Range: 1-3 Meters
Duration: Five
Hand Seals/Charge up: Four posts / Snake, Rabbit, Boar, Dragon
Description: GET IN MY BELLY is a very unique technique, founded as a rather torturous move against intruders. The user would take a target, whom has an open wound near the stomach, and use it to remove an appropriate amount of CO2 from their stomach acids until they're as neutral as water. With the stomach unable to digest or "fill" up with what they're eating, the torturer is free to use starvation as torture until the technique wears off.
Weakness: Due to the focus, it's best targets are subdued. Target must have an open, non-fatal/lethal wound near the stomach. Target can still die from asphyxiation if they try eating food desperately to fill up.
Clan History: Founded by a renegade member of the Sanseiu clan (Santon, Acid Release), Ikimonogaku started when the same renegade member began to study the properties of acid and acidity. Through his studies, he learned about how it was all only one side of the coin: that there was an exact opposite in relation to acidity. So, after years of progress and hard work, that same renegade developed techniques that allow him, and his children - not to mention many future generations - to learn how to control the process. Or, at the very least, modify it to show the Sanseiu how incomplete they truly were.
The Ikimonogaku originated in Kirigakure, the Village Hidden in the Mist, prided for their ability with the Water element. Not all being gifted with the Water element, the clan thrived with it's members whom utilized the acidity in unique ways: specifically using it to boost their water techniques. With that ability, they were able to thrive and grow in the Hidden Village, training and honing their special skills for as long as they could. They were very helpful, too; taking many roles in the Anbu-level division in Kirigakure, yet slowly forced to take a step back by the Mizukage, some of the village elders believing it wasn't exactly safe having acidic experts so near the Mizukage so often. So, they stepped back, and the clan has been finally been attempting to get it's footing back in the village.
