[Zetsumei Myû]

Next Staff to delete it without Meiyou's knowledge or approval will get banned, so says Meiyou.

Name: Zetsumei Clan
Age: Around fifty years.
Village: Konohagakure no Sato
Abilities:

Chakra Manipulation: The ability of manipulating used chakra and the chakra of others as his or her own. The chakra is absorbed into the body and used as their own chakra, allowing them to "recharge".
Related to the first phase.

Chakra Sensing: Chakra that has been absorbed can be recorded into the Zetsumei's mind. That is to say, he or she can learn signature of the chakra. They will not necessarily know whose chakra it is, but they will remember it when they manipulate the same chakra again.
Related to the third phase.

Lightning Absorption: This ability allows a Zetsumei to completely absorb both lightning/electricity in its natural form, and lightning/electrical attacks from other shinobi. This makes them immune to lightning/electricity. The stored lightning/electricy can then be used as opposed to chakra.
Related to the second phase.

Lightning Manipulation: When electrically charged, a Zetsumei can manipulate lightning/electricity into anything - weapons, figurines, you name it. Therefore, weapons can be created by lightning manipulation, and images and all sorts of oddities with lightning in its "liquid", as most Zetsumei call it, form.
Related to the second phase.

The Kurogan: The Kurogan is an eye similar to the Sharingan and Byakugan. It causes the pupil to stretch over the entire eye, making the eye black. The Kurogan has various advantages that make the Zetsumei even more deadly than before.
Related to the fourth phase.

Jutsu:

Jutsu has been registered and accepted.

Raiton: Denka Dendou no Jutsu (Lightning: Electric Charge Activation Technique)
→ This jutsu activates the second phase of the Zetsumei Kekki-Genki. It stays activated until the user says “Kai”, the cancel technique, after which the lightning and electricity collected in the body disperses.

Raiton: Eki Dendou no Jutsu (Lightning: Liquid Electricity Technique)
→ This jutsu causes lightning to flow from the fingertips and hands of the user. The lightning can be manipulated into anything: whips, knives, swords. The damage depends on what the lightning is used for. This jutsu does not require hand seals or vocalization. Damage ranges from paralyzing the opponent, to wounds that cut the skin, to electrical burns.

Raiton: Daichi Higyou no Jutsu (Lightning: Ground Strike Technique)
→ After performing the needed hand seals, the ninja must punch the ground with one of their hands. Electricity will surge forward in great spikes, in a straight direction, whichever direction the user is facing. If hit, the opponent may become severely damaged. Serious electrical burns are most common; however, the opponent may be paralyzed as well.

Raiton: Hankei Bakuha no Jutsu (Lightning: Radius Explosion Technique)
→ After performing the needed hand seals, the user must punch the ground. This is similar to the Daichi Higyou, except the hand seals are different and the result is different as well. Lightning surges out around the user in a radius, exploding as far as need be. Damage ranges from severe electrical burns to the opponent being paralyzed. The opponent may be knocked out from the blast.

Raiton: Shouheki no Jutsu (Lightning: Barrier Technique)
→ After performing the needed hand seals, this ninjutsu causes a barrier of electricity to rise around the user, protecting him or her from harm. However, the user cannot move outside of the dome. This jutsu requires chakra or electricity to keep up. The barrier may cause those who come into physical contact with the barrier to recieve electrical burns.

Raiton: Boruto no Jutsu (Lightning: Bolt Technique)
→ After performing the needed hand seals, lightning will streak down from the sky, toward the opponent. The user must be looking at the opponent or else the bolt will be aimless. The opponent will be paralyzed if hit. Damage will range from electrical burns to open wounds.

Raiton: Yari no Jutsu (Lightning: Electric Spear Technique)
→ After performing the needed hand seals, this ninjutsu causes a bolt of lightning to form in the user’s hand. The bolt can shot at the opponent or wielded as a sword. If hit, the opponent will become paralyzed. The bolt may cause electrical burns depending on the intensity and strength.

Raiton: Tatsumaki no Jutsu (Lightning: Tornado Technique)
→ After performing the needed hand seals, the ninja must start running around the opponent in tight, fast circles, getting faster and faster. Soon, the environment will blur for the opponent, until only the ninja is visible; the momentum of the spin will send the opponent off-balance, after which the ninja must leap into the air, and appear above the opponent, after which numerous lightning bolts will begin raining down upon the opponent. Damage ranges from paralyzation to severe electrical burns, to becoming knocked out.

Raiton: Hara Dendou no Jutsu (Lightning: Electric Field Technique)
→ After performing the needed hand seals, lightning will mold into the ground, spreading out like an invisible force field. By the use of another hand seal, the electric force field will explode in the ground, going upwards and surging inwards toward the user. Damage ranges from severe electrical burns, to being knocked out.

Raiton: Baindo Dendou no Jutsu (Lightning: Electric Bind Technique)
→ After performing the needed hand seals, lightning will shoot from the sky to bind the opponents limbs (legs, arms). They may be bond together, to the ground, or even to trees; any stable object, really. Damage ranges from becoming paralyzed to minor electrical burns.

Komoriuta Dendou (Electric Lullaby)
→ First of all, the ninja must have a forefinger touching the temple of the victim. After this, the jutsu must be uttered. A zap of electricity will surge from the finger and into the ninja's head, causing them to fall asleep. The jutsu may last for up to eight hours.

Raiken Senkou (Raiken Flash)
→ This technique requires the Raiken and the utterance of the genjutsu. After this, the opponent will have visions of the various Raiken users attacking them with the Raiken, one of which is the true user. If the opponent manages to block the right sword, he will be undamaged. If he blocks the wrong one, however, he will get stabbed.

Clan History:

The Zetsumei Clan was always a Konohagakure clan. It was never a particularly large clan; in fact the Zetsumei preferred to keep to themselves. They were never particularly noticed or praised. However, they were, and remain to this day, the only clan capable of absorbing lightning and electricity, and using it as energy as opposed to chakra.

The Zetsumei believe that only males should become shinobi. When women were allowed to become kunoichi, the Zetsumei strictly stuck to their own beliefs of women not becoming ninja. However, these beliefs were diminished when female Zetsumei stuck up for themselves and began their training as ninjas.

Due to the fact that in recent years the second phase of the clan's Kekki-Genki has diminished alarmingly (Zuiichi and Myû being the only ones to possess said phase) the clan is currently focused on passing on the second phase to offspring, preferably males.

Zetsumei Myû discovered the third phase and the Third Branch of the Zetsumei Clan. Even more recently she discovered the fourth phase and Fourth Branch of the Zetsumei.

Clan Hierarchy:

First Branch: Members of the First Branch are clan members who have only attained the first phase of the Zetsumei Clan kekki-genki. Therefore, they are considered "inferior" to the Second and Third Branches (especially the Third).
Members: -

Second Branch: Members of the Second Branch are clan members who have attained the second phase of the Zetsumei Clan kekki-genki. Due to recent times, the second phase and Second Branch is highly sought after. The Second Branch is considered inferior to the newly-founded Third Branch.
Members: Zetsumei Zuiichi

Third Branch: The Third Branch and the third phase was just recently discovered. It consists of clan members who have managed to actually reach the third phase of the Zetsumei Clan kekki-genki.
Members: -

Fourth Branch: The fourth phase and the Fourth Branch was even more recently discovered than the Third Branch. In the fourth phase, one unlocks the highly-esteemed Kurogan. It is said that only Zetsumei who are extremely powerful are able to transcend to the fourth phase. The Third, Second, and First Branches are considered inferior to the Fourth Branch.
Members: Zetsumei Myû

This clan is open to three more members. (first phase preferred, second phase you DEFINITELY ask, third and fourth phase, nope. third phase must be developed IC under my supervision. fourth phase can only be developed IC under by supervision, after gaining the third phase.)

Explanation of the Phases:

First Phase: This phase activates sometime after the ninja begins training. It allows the user to manipulate chakra around them and use it as their own. Therefore, their chakra supply can almost seem unending.

Second Phase: This phase activates after the ninja shows an affinity to lightning or electricity (Raiton). The user can absorb lightning and electricity in its natural state, as well as lightning and electric attacks. After absorption, the Zetsumei becomes stronger and faster. The ninja becomes electrically charged; when physically touched, the Zetsumei has a possibility of shocking others. The ninja can also temporarily paralyze body parts when touching. The second phase also allows the ninja to utilize lightning and electricity as weapons, like lightning bolts or balls of electric charge. When using Raiton attacks and jutsu, instead of using chakra, the ninja uses the lightning supply in their body. Therefore, the electrical charge of the ninja depletes, and they grow weaker or slower until they must recharge with electricity or the charge vanishes.

Upon attaining the second phase of Kekki-Genki, the Zetsumei may “turn on” the second phase by saying “Raiton: Denka Dendou no Jutsu”. The phase may be “turned off” by saying “Kai”, the cancel technique.

If the second phase is turned on, then the user may use both electric chakra and regular chakra. Using lightning/electric-aligned attacks will use electricity and lightning stored in the body, but using attacks and jutsu not affiliated with Raiton will use regular chakra.

After attaining the second phase, the first phase is constantly turned on, regardless if the Zetsumei uses it or not. There is no “off” button for the first phase.

After becoming charged after absorbing electricity and/or lightning, the Zetsumei becomes twice as strong and twice as fast at their absolute peak.

Third Phase: At this phase, the Zetsumei can utilise both the second phase and the first phase at a whim. However, these phases are improved. Regarding the first phase, the Zetsumei can now sense the chakra it is manipulating and memorize the signature. Regarding the second phase, if the Zetsumei is electrically charged, he or she does not need to use hand seals or vocalizations to perform a Raiton-aligned jutsu. The ninja can also absorb more lightning than before.

Fourth Phase: At this phase, the Zetsumei unlocks the Kurogan. The Kurogan is a special "eye" that is exclusively and purely Zetsumei. It involves the pupil expanding to cover the iris and sclera, therefore making the eye entirely black. The first few times a Zetsumei changes their eyes, their eyes will bleed and their skull will hurt. However, once the Zetsumei becomes more skilled with the Kurogan, their eyes will stop bleeding and their head will stop hurting.

With the Kurogan, the Zetsumei can see everything in front of them and to the side. So basically, what a normal person has to move their eyes to see, a Zetsumei can take in in one look. The Kurogan also allows the Zetsumei to "see" the chakra of others. In other words, they can sense what the person's element(s) is/are, but only if the chakra was manipulated by them before. They can sense the intentions and emotions of the person, and can predict the useage of raiton techniques. They can also predict the path that lightning and electricity will take. This includes both attacks and lightning/electricity in its natural state. With the Kurogan, Zetsumei can sense lightning and electric sources and charges.

The Zetsumei is able to see shinobi moving, no matter at what speed, with great clarity; at high speeds, the shinobi may seem slightly blurred, but due to the fact that the pupil is, essentially, stretched over the eye, the shinobi is registerable to the mind. Not only this, but the Zetsumei's vision in general is heightened considerably, as well as hearing.

However, there are also disadvantages to this eye. With the Kurogan, the ninja's vision slowly detoriates if the Zetsumei uses it too often. The recommended useage of the Kurogan is thirty minutes, after which the vision of the ninja, in regular form, will diminish slightly. The ninja might become totally blind if they use the Kurogan too often; this can be countered by simply turning the Kurogan on constantly, but this might cause the ninja to become disoriented because they can "see" everything; therefore they cannot truly focus on one particular point, because everything else that they can see is visible at the same time.
