Sōichirō Clan

The Sakuretsu clan was a peaceful entity on the cusp of scientific breakthrough, working in their compound located within the gates of the mysterious and widely tumultuous Kirigakure no Sato. Despite its ties to criminals and other characters of ill repute, it was the perfect stowaway spot for their crowning achievement—a construct most heinous by human standards—the birth of a living radioactive bomb.

It was their home and they appreciated it for what it was, finding it pertinent to maintain the seclusion that Kirigakure offered them. They were no strangers to bizarre experimentation in the physics field. Their bloodline extends to antiquity and can be traced back to a couple named Aiko and Rihatsu. Brilliant nuclear physicists, even for the low standards of what constituted the scientific community in the earliest days of the unified shinobi continents. These two lovebirds tirelessly experimented on the human body, extracting and implementing energies from any sources they could find and creating an anomaly of the natural. Adaptation took its course in their bodies from the constant barrage of substances harmful and helpful alike, laying dormant in their bloodline the potential for a chain reaction that festered like a cancer.

War engulfed the lands, smothering it in strife and drowning it in blood. All of their energy became focused into the construct of this weapon they had in mind, which not only crossed the line of science fiction so much as it threw up on it. In their effort to achieve something over enemy nations and secure almost certain victory, caution was thrown to the wind and more aggressive field testing was achieved. Several months passed from this point and the clan had managed to create a ticking time bomb from within their compound set to detonate at the first instability. In their haste, they thought nothing of it, but the curtain was being yanked back for a terrible event to take center stage.

Kirigakure experienced the worst negative cosmological surge anyone could have committed to imagination, opening the path to what is now referred to as The Great Mist Explosion. It was a potent blow to many of the people who inhabited the village, and most of them succumbed to swift death. After the Sakuretsu had been exposed to the barrage of cosmic energy, their chakra pathway system became destroyed and rebuilt through a foreign sub-type of γ radiation inherited through years of unnatural selection. This reaction was carried into their bodies on a molecular and subatomic level, triggering a process that orchestrated changes in the fabric of their Deoxyribonucleic acid.

Description: This is a bloodline trait of the Sakuretsu clan. As their chakra circulates through their body, it remains in a stable condition where it functions as any other kind would. However, when it becomes exposed to the outside world, it has the potential to be brought to a state of instability, whereupon it will break apart at its core and create violent outward energy explosions, transferring force and inflicting damage to anything that happens to come into contact with it from the surface level. The user is an exception to this damaging effect. As it moves outward, energy that makes its way back to the owner of the chakra becomes harmlessly absorbed into their body.

Description: This is a secondary bloodline ability of the clan, where their Antimaterial Chakra is utilized through the fuuinjutsu application of seals. Any practical solid surface can hold one of these seals. After they have been placed, they can be released remotely with the use of a single hand (middle and ring fingers upright, thumb overlapping the index and pinky fingers pointing downward). Once released, the chakra of the clan member goes unstable and explodes. The destructive potential and span of these releases depend on the chakra amount instilled into each seal. The more chakra is infused into the seal, the larger it needs to be, though the design does not change.

Description: This is a form of hand-to-hand combat used by members of the Sakuretsu clan. Practitioners of this style use very stout and forceful movements, aiming their strikes with pinpoint accuracy into specific areas on the opponent. For each strike, the user will project a set amount of their chakra from their bodies and apply it to an outer epidermis (or a target surface), at which point its natural function of breaking apart and releasing potent explosive properties will come into play in a compressed and forceful manner. When in use, this stance takes on a very theatrical style, with the ability to violently blow opponents in any direction, comparable to striking a ping pong ball with a paddle. Equal to its theatrics is its potency, and the potential it has to cause mass destruction, wearing down even the most resilient fighters.

Description: This is a form of Weapon Arts used by members of the Sakuretsu clan. Practitioners of this style use their ability to store portions of their stable chakra into ninja tools with seals, at which point they will be thrown into or near an opponent, signaling their chakra to release and causing it to detonate. The damage potential for these depend entirely on the weapons used, as the seal will cause more damage as its size is enhanced and more chakra is placed inside of it. The hierarchy is found under the Antimaterial Seals entry. As such, the size of the seal—and thus its overall potency—are limited to the physical span of the weapon that the user places the seal on.

Rank: [ C ]

Specialty: Kekkei Genkai • Ninjutsu

Description: This is a basic ninjutsu technique of the Sakuretsu that will allow them to alter the explosive properties of their chakra in order to suit different needs that they have. While they are preparing to use an application of their chakra, this technique becomes compounded with that application and thus alters how it reacts when the energy goes unstable. It has a basic explosive function by default, though that is not always useful when it comes to matters of strategy and adaptation, especially on a battlefield that constantly changes.

Area of Effect: This makes the explosion reach twice its radius at the cost of only inflicting a fraction of the damage (if it would normally span 10 meters, it could go 20). It is designed to envelop the body and cover as much surface as it can. Use of this cycle is accomplished by using less chakra and spreading it farther out. While its destructive potential would be reduced, it still hurts just as much as an initial release would—which is to say, a shitload. It can be used for scare tactics, torture, or just for being cruel.

Shockwave: Converts force into powerful penetrative shockwaves that affect hardened surfaces the most, especially the natural ground. Excellent against opponents who like to burrow, for reverberating against armor, or for specific purposes where their use would be the most conventional solution—like sending them through a body of water or breaking a mountain apart.

Vibrational: Converts force into skeleton-rattling vibrations. Effective at completely disorienting an opponent with each strike. Imagine if you were shaken violently and tried to walk straight. With this cycle active, multiply that sensation. While not completely debilitating on its own, it does have the potential to be. And if you thought shockwaves were good against armor, this would be f.ucking hilarious.

Percussive: Converts force into loud noise. Due to the nature of this cycle, it should be performed in conjunction with techniques that cover a much wider ground than the others, perhaps sealed inside of a weapon and thrown. This is because, being sound, it could easily damage the user just as much as the target. It can temporarily weaken the hearing and possibly screw with equilibrium.

Rebounding: It doesn't serve to damage the target at all, but more so it forces them away. Any of the properties that would have been used to actively inflict damage on an opponent are instead converted and layered so that it becomes focused enough on anything drawing near to forcibly repel it. While it doesn't harm a target on its own, it can however launch them farther and higher.

Condensed: This makes the explosion draw back half of its radius at the benefit of inflicting more damage to a specific point (if it would normally span 10 meters, it would go 5). It is designed to focus on a single part of a surface. Use of this cycle is accomplished by using more chakra and drawing it in tighter. This is a cycle that is almost always used for brutal injuries or assassinations.
