History ↬ Murderer
Blood. Blood everywhere in the living room. Only five years old, Kageko stepped towards her mother’s body, splayed across the ground, face-up, and with guts splurging out of her dissected abdomen. A squelch brought the little girl’s eyes down to her feet, where she saw that she now stood in a pool of blood. She lifted her foot and saw the red liquid sort of stick to her before it slowly started dripping down. Standing on one leg, she lost her balance and ended up falling right smack into the blood. The blood seeped through Kageko’s pajamas and clung to her leg like so much goo. It smeared over her hands.
Now with her hands, feet, and bottom covered in blood, the little girl slowly began to realize what she saw, and upon realization, she froze. She stayed frozen until, over an hour later, her parents’ murderer happened to re-enter the room on his search for any survivors of the surprise attack on the bandit outpost. The outpost had been located close to the River/Fire Country border on the River Country side and had been taking clever advantage of legal systems to raid Fire Country villages without punishment for years. Now, though, justice had been brought upon the bandit base by Konohagakure ninja, and here stood one of those ninjas in front of the daughter, still as a statue but clearly alive, of one of those he had just killed for statue. The ninja of Konohagakure, now that the battle was over, and here one of the men responsible for recognized the home as the residence of one of his clan members. Certainly, one he had never met and could have been as much of a relative as any random stranger on the street, but still a member of the clan. With that recognition, he sympathized with the child in front of him, the five year old Kageko, as he would sympathize with a child of his clan. That bond, however how small, garnered a small amount of sympathy in the hardened, war-hungry Konoha shinobi and he took Kageko back to his village to be raised as a member of his own family.
In such a fashion did Kageko arrive at Konohagakure.
↬ Duality
It had been five years since Kageko lost the family and home she knew and arrived at Konoha. She had been treated appropriately, as well as any foster daughter could ask for. She was trained with vigor, never missing out any lesson that any of her foster siblings were given. At first, she was treated as a slave by all in Konohagakure but her foster family, but as was apt to happen to any properly trained Yurei, Kageko was soon forgotten. When she was remembered, she would always be remembered as a daughter of Suigetsu Yurei, one of Konoha’s best espionage specialists, and assumed to be his actual, biological daughter. Although, to Kageko, Suigetsu Yurei would always be seen as both adoptive father and the murderer of her biological parents. Likewise, Konohagakure would always be simultaneously the village that raised her and the village that ruined her childhood.
Unable to forget but unwilling to hold a grudge that felt like it would drive her insane, Kageko took a step back and stayed back. It wasn’t a muddled world of gray Kageko lived in, but a world where everything had both blinding white and consuming black sides in addition to all sorts of shades of gray in between. She did not choose to fight or prefer one side for another, and instead decided to simply live her life watching. Mature beyond her years, Kageko came to this conclusion at ten years of age. Ever since then, she threw away all thoughts of both revenge and one day being able to fully accept Konohagakure. Watching the village was all she would do, and even that was only because of the people in it.
Most of the other villagers were strangers, but she had become close friends with one boy over the five years she’d been in the village. Kageko, because of the special circumstances surrounding her bloodline and clan, was allowed to pass over some of the lessons and swiftly passed the rest before her other classmates through diligent hard work. She had little else to do besides study, anyways, having no interest in getting along with her classmates or even the people she lived with. She didn’t know how to get along with people she felt both hatred and gratitude for. As a result, she eventually reached a level where she was the youngest by a couple years. In that same level was a boy who was the exact opposite. He had started academy late and probably failed a few classes while he was at it. As a result, he was the oldest in the class by a few years. This idiot and Kageko were always paired together in the academy as the outcasts of sorts, he for being older than the other students and she for being the youngest at her level. Eventually, it became easier for Kageko to get the idiot to remember her than to reintroduce herself every time. His fondness for purple may also have helped to convince Kageko to make the decision to actively become known to this boy.
That increased the grand total of people Kageko knew and cared about in the village to about to six: four family members she had mixed feelings about, one raven that joined her in an unspectacular fashion shortly after her arrival in Konoha but has since been with her through thick and thin, and a boy she just happened to be stuck with enough for even someone as single-minded as him to remember her. Five people. That was all that held Kageko to the village that ordered the death of her biological parents. Then again, she had nothing to tie her to anywhere else.
↬ Graduation
One year after firmly deciding to stay in the village if only just to watch, a decision that very well might have well prevented her from choosing to go rogue later in life, Kageko graduated the academy. At the age of 11, Kageko was young for a genin. However, not too young. She made sure of that so that she would stir as few waves as possible. Ideally, Kageko would have waited for the usual 12-14 age range for graduation, but she wanted to leave her family home as quickly as possible. Even one year after settling her tumultuous medley of thoughts, she still could not feel comfortable around her adoptive family. She did not want to look at them, and the only way to get away from them was to become a ninja, even just a genin.
After moving out of the family home that she still did not know how to label, Kageko was ready to start her life as a genin. She did not enjoy the prospect of squads, which were probably what she would be stuck in. Regrettably, Kageko’s lack of presence did not stretch to the paperwork about her. Squads meant more people she needed to know her, and as a Yurei, it had been drilled into her that the less people knew her the better it was for her. The only silver lining was that, when Kageko received the information on her squad assignments, she found that she was assigned to the same squad as her idiot friend, who she’d nicknamed “Baka” in order to become more recognizable. That was one less new person she’d need to have remember her.
Pet A black raven known as Kuro serves as Kageko’s companion and her eyes in the skies. He exhibits very human traits, including the ability to speak, and met Kageko shortly after she moved to Konoha. They’ve been together ever since. Very intelligent, he’s not afraid to make snarky comments about the idiocy of others, especially humans. However, he dislikes revealing that he’s not a normal, extremely intelligent raven even more, so will usually keep his beak shut for that reason. He relieves stress by pulling pranks or, if inspiration for a prank doesn’t strike him, being annoying with the simple tools all ravens have at their discretion: pecking, for instance. Kuro is certainly capable of delivering letters and if it’s for Kageko, will do so regardless of the condition, barring extremes such as hurricanes. He can even be used for recon but his inability to fight, or even simple dodge, keeps him well away from any and all combat.
xxxxxHISTORY The Yurei are not very well-known. They’ve never been well-known and never will be because that is the very nature of their clan. Finding any records of them is a challenging task, having any reason to bother finding such records is often an even rarer occurrence. The Yurei, as their name indicates, are like ghosts. They are not born with any special talents, but are trained from birth to be as inconspicuous as possible, to be masters of the arts of stealth over combat. An old clan originally hailing from Otogakure, the origin of many of the ninja culture’s most sense sensitive techniques, the Yurei have since spread across the continent and dabbled in many of history’s most important moments but they have never made enough of an impact, or at least that’s what they’d like you to believe, to be worthy of any mention.
xxxxxDESCRIPTION The Yurei are not invisible, but they can certainly seem like they are at times. The problem in seeing them doesn’t lie in the eyes so much as it does in the mind. The Yurei have trained to minimize all noticeable signs of their existence. It’s very easy for the unalert eyes to simply slide past a Yurei, the eyes catching the existence of the Yurei but the mind not bothering to register it. Even those who do notice a Yurei often forget the face of the particular clan member within a day or two. The simplicity of the way those of the Yurei clan hide themselves not only reduces the chakra needed to remain hidden but also nullifies any advantages doujutsus give in finding the Yurei because, as stated before, it’s not a problem of the eyes but of the mind.
However, that isn’t to say the Yurei have completely neglected the eyes. No, as a clan that epitomizes stealth, they’ve also done everything to exploit the weakness of vision and the other senses but mostly vision as that’s what most shinobi rely on. Following the ghost theme of their clan name, the Yurei have several techniques that take advantage of blind spots to seemingly vanish and suddenly reappear. Out of battle, they are masters of the mundane. In battle, they are masters of misdirection.
xxxxxRULES • Yurei techniques are all incredibly simple, at least on the chakra front. This is to ensure that hand signs are never needed and that the techniques aren’t flashy enough to attract unwanted attention. Coincidentally, this also makes all their techniques available to anyone, regardless of learning restrictions set forth by bloodlines, classes, other clans, or any other assets. • Nothing about a Yurei looks amazing, for better or for worse. In fact, they tend to be a bit shorter and skinnier than average. It’s not impossible for them to look good, but being absolutely stunning? It’s rather impossible to not attract attention in that case. Going to the other extreme, being horribly disfigured also attracts too much attention. As much as the Yurei, being a clan, relies on teachings, its emphasis on the mundane does set certain requirements that are ultimately decided by genetics. • In a situation where two Yurei meet, they can clearly see through each other’s tricks. Passive abilities do not work on fellow Yurei because they know the tricks of the trade.
xxxxxWEAKNESSES • A Yurei relies on being anonymous. Become famous and they lose everything they’ve worked for in this clan. Granted, it’s rather difficult to actually lose their anonymity with how hard they’ve worked to be unnoticed and remembered in the first place. Only by doing something of note and not having anyone to dump the credit on does a Yurei risk becoming well-known. • Out of combat or whenever Mundane is active, a Yurei has -1/-1 stats, a side-effect of appearing, even just subconsciously, unimportant. Once combat starts and Mundane is not active, the Yurei can regain these stats after the first round of posts, at which point their actions are no longer restricted by the habit of carefully controlling their actions. • A Yurei’s strength is their lack of presence, but this is also a danger to them as it affects both allies and enemies. Allies unaware of a Yurei’s position can easily hit the Yurei with accidental friendly fire. • The Yurei don’t do flashy and elemental ninjutsu epitomizes flashy. Most members of the Yurei clan do not dabble much in elemental ninjutsu (unable to learn A-rank and higher elemental ninjutsu). Those that do often, without realizing it themselves, tone down their ninjutsu (-1 rank to all elemental ninjutsu techniques). • Distractions can affect everyone, but the techniques that use a distraction to approach someone are unseen by only person at any time unless otherwise stated. Other parties can see the approach, once they get past the momentary distraction, because it’s not their blind spot that’s being taken into consideration. There’s not much time for a save, but an intercept is possible. These jutsu--Onryo, Ubume, and Funayurei specifically--are not sure-hit techniques.
xxxxxSTRENGTHS • No Yurei techniques require any sort of movement or vocal signs. After all, they’re a clan that focuses on going unnoticed. Using hand seals is hardly a good way to remain unnoticed. • You’re incredibly hard to notice and remember. Even when you have been remembered, you're still difficult to notice. • Doujutsus and any sort of vision training don’t give enemies of a Yurei any sort of advantage. If anything, it’s a disadvantage as the heightened vision granted by these upgrades are even more sensitive to a Yurei’s tricks. Likewise, those with heightened perception suffer a similar disadvantage. • Constant suppression of chakra improves the chakra control of a Yurei. This should be represented by an chakra reduction to techniques but math is annoying. For the sake of convenience, the 10% reduction has been translated to a 10% increase to chakra. • +1 perception from and for constantly keeping an eye out for blind spots.
xxxxxPASSIVE ABILITIES • Mundane: Yurei have conditioned their body to keep their presence at a constant minimum. All Yurei make no noise in their movements and release only a very faint scent, one which fades from the surfaces it touch in mere minutes. Their chakra signatures, including that of anything that happens to reside in the Yurei, have been carefully suppressed for so long that it becomes natural, making it natural for any Yurei to have their chakra hidden until the moment its used. Most importantly, however, a Yurei’s actions are trained to appear naturally normal, to be the pinnacle of mundane. A Yurei can be the only other person in the room but the other party will not notice them simply because they’re doesn’t seem to be any merit in noticing them. It is a technique based on the subconscious, one that has been refined for generations, even centuries some may say. This unconscious lack of presence is not nearly as thorough as active attempts to hide, but being an unconscious act, it has the benefit of almost always being active without any effort. The only times when this passive isn’t active, or rather can’t be, is when the Yurei has somehow slipped up and created a cause to be noticed. Most notably, this will be during combat if the Yurei is not hidden, whenever the Yurei uses chakra for anything other than clan techniques, or when the Yurei attacks directly. ↬ Against ninja one rank lower than the Yurei: In this situation, a Yurei is seen as an unimportant bystander, even more unimportant than a normal bystander. It is very easy for the eyes to slide carelessly over the Yurei. In fact, that is exactly what happens unless the viewer happens to be on alert. At most, only suspicions that an innocent stranger would arouse are directed to the phantom. When a phantom is hiding, there are no signs to give away the phantom's presence. ↬ Against ninja of the same rank as the Yurei: In this situation, a Yurei is noticed. However, the Yurei is taken to be a normal bystander, of little consequence in most cases. When a Yurei is hiding, there are no signs to give away the Yurei’s presence. ↬ Against ninja one rank higher than the Yurei: In this situation, a Yurei is noticed and taken to be a very weak threat. The Yurei’s abilities are gauged to be two or more ranks lower than their actual abilities. When a Yurei is hiding, there might be slight signs to give away the Yurei’s presence, but only if the Yurei moves. ↬ Against ninja two ranks higher than the Yurei: In this situation, the opposing ninja sees the Yurei for exactly what they are.
• Forgettable: It’s hard to remember a Yurei. Almost impossible, in fact. Yurei naturally remain in the background. They may speak, but whatever they say is eclipsed by the words of others. They may act, but because they never seem like the main actor, another will be given the credit. Even with a name and a face, the face is bound to be forgotten after a good night’s sleep, and without a face to go to, what importance is a name? The only way to really remember a Yurei is to meet them constantly.
• Poltergeist: Those of the Yurei clan are masters of blind spots. While taking advantage of blind spots to hide their entire bodies usually requires the help of chakra, small things like hand tricks are child’s play to any Yurei who’s graduated from the academy. If any Yureit wanted to risk the attention, they would make a master magician.
• Misdirection: The Yurei directs the attention of enemies (and allies if that’s what’s wanted) to anything that is not them for a small moment. This can be anything from tossing an important object into the air to throwing kunai into the faces of everyone to throwing a kunai at a cat and getting it to yowl horribly. With the Yurei’s knowledge of how the mind decides what’s important, the distraction is guaranteed to work for at least one technique against people of the same rank and below. However, overuse renders this skill useless and Misdirection can only be used once every five posts. Multiple people can be affected with one usage of this jutsu. It just might change some aspects of the execution, like the number of projectiles thrown.
xxxxxTECHNIQUES
• Misdirection D This is an alternative to the passive ability of the same name that uses chakra to seal the deal. A small bit of chakra is applied to the distraction to create any number of attention-drawing effects, such as a vision-obscuring glow of light on a projectile headed for a face or a attention-grabbing sparkle on an important object being tossed into the air. This Misdirection shares the same cooldown as the passive, but it can be successfully used on those of higher rank than the user.
• Bakemono D Bakemono modified version of the Henge no Jutsu that, like all other clan techniques, does not require handsigns. The user, as usual, vanishes from sight with the help of blind spots and reappears transformed into whatever disguise they choose. Because chakra isn’t used to help positioning but rather used to active the Henge technique, this technique is best used in crowded places, where it’s very easy to lose the focus of an alert enemy. However, under the right circumstances, it is possible to pull off the trick without any intruders. Keep in mind, Bakemono doesn’t ensure a disappearance but rather requires it.
• Hitodama C-B The Yurei releases an explosion of chakra. Masters of remaining unnoticed, the Yurei are also experts in what attracts attention. The chakra released by Hitodama has been simply but surely modified to unerringly attract the attention of all who sense it but don’t expect it, forcing onto the unwitting the effects of tunnelvision. The chakra explosion creates an alarming flash of light, bang of sound, whoosh of force, pungent scent, sharp taste, and release of chakra. However, even with it affecting touch, this technique does no direct damage. As all of its effect last for mere moments, though, it can only hold attention for mere moments. Still, it’s a fantastic way of dealing with stuff such as a Byakugan’s pesky 360 vision. This explosion of chakra may be released at any point within 5 ft. of the user (C-rank) or within 15 ft. of the user (B-rank). The nature of this skill very much makes it a one-trick pony, technically two. It may affect anyone up to two times per battle, after which it gradually becomes less of a distraction. Of course, if it’s done right in front of someone’s face, that’s another story altogether.
• Onryo C-B The user takes advantage of a blind spot created by either a distraction or the target’s failure to notice the user and releases a sudden burst of chakra into their legs to speed their movements towards a target for a moment. To the target, it appears as if the user has suddenly teleported to them. At C-rank, the target can be anywhere within 15 ft. of the user. At B-rank, the target can be anywhere within 40 ft. of the user.
• Ubume C-B requires Onryo The Yurei takes advantage of a blind spot created by either a distraction or the target’s failure to notice the user and releases a sudden burst of chakra into their legs to speed their movements towards an ally. The separation of destination and target in Ubume is the only thing that singles it out from Onryo but that distinction makes enough of a difference in the execution of the technique. To the target, it appears as if the user has suddenly teleported to an ally. At C-rank, the ally can be anywhere within 15 ft. of the user. At B-rank, the ally can be anywhere within 40 ft. of the user. Additionally, the “ally” does not necessarily have to be an ally. It can just as easily be the last piece of pie or another enemy.
• Sorei C-B Simultaneously taking advantage of a user’s lack of presence while under the influence of Mundane and blind spots of everyone in the area, Sorei allows the user to make noticeable changes to the environment while still remaining hidden in plain sight. Again, discrete bursts of chakra are used to help with position. Sorei requires the presence of several allies or neutral parties in addition to the user to work, and the user cannot be within 10 ft. (C-rank) or 5ft. (B-rank) of the enemy. This technique doesn’t allow the user to, say, tear down a wall and remain unnoticed or even just snipe an enemy at close-range. It’s more for small things, such as moving furniture or making random noises. Attacking the enemy directly while using this technique cancels it but nothing is stopping a Yurei from, say, dropping a chandelier on a spot a target just happens to be standing on.
• Zashiki Warashi C-B It is possible, in the middle of battle, to reactivate Mundane. One post of preparation is needed. Then, taking advantage of a universal blind spot, one that all enemies have, created by a distraction, the user seems to simply vanish from sight. As always, this is with the help of a little chakra-based speed enhancement, the speed boost helping the user take full advantage of even a short moment. At C-rank, the user must be at least 10 ft. away from any enemy. At B-rank, the user can disappear from right next to the enemy.
• Funayurei B-A The Yurei runs at the target. As they approach the target, they dive in towards the target, using the angle of the duck and positioning in addition to speed to create a blind spot without any diversions even with the target’s full focus on them. Although, slight distractions, not big enough to use a more chakra-efficient ability but enough to matter, like teammates do help increase the success of the technique. This only works if the user’s speed exceeds the speed of the target. During the move, a limit-breaking +1 speed for B-rank and +2 speed for A-rank is added to the user’s speed and the target’s speed, only for the calculation of this move’s success, is lowered by -1 for each of the user’s allies in the area.
• Goryo A requires Hitodama Goryo requires that the Yurei’s Mundane passive ability is active and that the user willingly ends Mundane with a sudden release of chakra. The sheer volume of chakra, a combination of quantity and the strangeness of it just being wasted for nothing, attracts all attention to the user in a manner even more effective than Hitodama, giving the user’s allies an entire post to act while all focus is on the user.
xxxxxADDITIONAL COMMENTS • It is not impossible for Yurei to achieve ranks such as kage and shogun that would normally garner a famous reputation and still remain a functioning Yurei. However, their general lack of presence and their own desire to remain unimportant in order to maintain that lack of presence will often result in them installing a puppet leader, npc, as the face of their position rather than taking the position themselves. • While not a rule or a restriction, it should be stressed that killing with an audience is risky for a Yurei clan member as it’s rather difficult to laud the responsibility onto an ally when people have seen the Yurei land the killing blow.
xxxxxRESTRICTIONS • It should be stressed that a Yurei is able to do what they do because it has been ingrained into them. Something like a flamboyant Yurei who turns on some sort of switch to simply meld into the background doesn’t exist. They are, essentially, the wallflowers of the shinobi world and always are as such. • The necessary training and molding for a successful Yurei prevents it from being a clan that a rpc simply picks up. Any rpc with this clan must start with it.
