Yakekoge Clan
Searing, Parlous, Vigorous



“Legend has it, they were a cult of sadistic shinobi who were born with the mark of the devil. Their people disappeared from the face of the planet just overnight... perhaps a higher being punished them for what they were doing.”

The Yakekoge Clan was once a prestigious clan of powerful shinobi that originated in the Land of Fire. Very little is known about its history, though records state that it was founded by a highly talented shinobi that was affiliated with the Senju clan. As the clan grew, its fame grew as well, known for their powerful fire techniques that were believed to be stronger than any normal technique, even ones created by the Uchiha clan. The clan had everything – fame, fortune, power... and in the blink of an eye, everything was gone.

Legend says that its people were consumed by the flames of their own power, and in reality, this was partially true. The so called fire techniques were actually techniques from a special Kekkei Genkai that only a few select members of the clan had. The Kekkei Genkai was known as Phoenix Release, a combination of fire, wind and lightning elements to create fire that exceeds the temperature of any normal fire (2,000 degrees C or 3600 degrees F). Phoenix Release is a versatile Kekkei Genkai in that it not only could severely burn, but also had potential healing capabilities unknown to any medical-nin. Most importantly however, this Kekkei Genkai is known as Phoenix Release due to one powerful secret technique that was developed by the founder of the Yakekoge clan and the first person to hold this powerful Kekkei Genkai. Known as the ‘Phoenix Release: Divine Eternal Transcendence’, this technique was capable of granting immortality to its user at a price, and it was this technique that brought the downfall of the Yakekoge clan. At the cost of 10,000 human lives, the user of this technique would be given a permanent form of immortality – the ability to die in flames regardless of how they are killed and raise from their ashes devoid of injuries, fatigue, etc. The lust for immortality took over one young clan member who knew the secret technique, and devised a plan to test it out and become immortal. With a population of 1,492 people, the Yakekoge clan itself was not enough to fuel this technique, so the people were moved to the nearest village after their camp was ‘suddenly destroyed’, and after that night, the population dropped from 1,492 to around 20. It is unknown whether or not the technique worked, but no villagers remained, and any corpses or signs of existence could not be found.

The sudden disappearance of all its people left everyone to wonder just what happened to the Clan, and over the years, its name had slowly become associated with the word ‘cult’ and its reputation has been severely damaged to the point where distant relatives of the clan have basically disowned themselves from the clan and destroyed all records of having been associated with it. As of now, the clan is pretty much obsolete and the Kekkei Genkai is rare. Few people even know that the Phoenix Release is associated with the Yakekoge clan.

Kekkei Genkai: Phoenix Release: Combination of three nature types: fire, wind and lightning. Produces extremely bright flames that can range in temperatures from normal body temperature to over 2,000 degrees C. Trademark techniques include white flame healing and fire bird summoning. Users are known to be able to produce flames on virtually any part of their body without being burnt and can freely manipulate any fire around them. Thus, it's best to fight them with mid to long ranged attacks and avoid their flames at all cost. Users of Phoenix Release are generally lacking in defence as long/mid-ranged energy based attacks and gaseous attacks (ie. poison gas) can slip through any walls or defensive structures made of fire that they create, but are completely protected from projectiles due to the fact that they will melt when they come in contact with the flames. Phoenix Release also takes massive amounts of chakra as the flames run not on oxygen but on the chakra poured in, thus the users will tire much more easily, especially if they don’t undergo intensive training. The fire can’t be put out in conventional ways, but it also means that anything that catches on fire as a result of this attack will not burn for long once the chakra runs out, but if the flame leads to the production of natural fire, then the flames will burn as they normally do until someone puts them out.

Hidden Jutsu:

Name: Natural Control
Rank: N/A
Classification: N/A
Description: All members of the Yakekoge clan have a natural affinity for the use of fire. They are able to control any flame that is in the area or that which they create, and use it in any way they please. It gives the user more of an opportunity to use the flames in ways that would catch an opponent off guard. Being ones that can control fire, they have to be first in control of their own emotions. If they happen to become angry, flames may start to appear in the area, injuring or killing those close by, setting a building or several buildings ablaze, or killing the user. Flames used change color and potency in accordance to the user's emotions.
Normal: The flames seem normal, and burn with the heat of any other Katon technique.
Angry: The flames are a deep red in colour. They burn hotter than all others, giving them a +1 boost in rank. For instance a C Rank Katon technique or a C Rank Phoenix Release is used. They will act like B Rank.
Scared: The flames are a pale yellow in colour. They aren't as hot in this state, causing each Katon technique to lose a rank.
Sad: The flames are a pale blue in colour. These flames can be either higher or lower in rank. If there is a sadness around the user that was not caused by a serious, life threatening event, or the death of someone close, the flames will burn one rank lower. If it is a sadness fuelled by anger, the flames are no longer pale and will act one rank higher.

Name: Phoenix Release: Quiet Meditation
Rank: D
Classification: Supportive
Description: After taking a meditative pose and concentrating, a white flame will surround the user and burn constantly until the user loses concentration. This is believed to be one of the hardest techniques of Phoenix Release due to the sheer amount of concentration required. It is mainly used as a way of chakra training and body conditioning, learning to control the heat of one’s flames and the output of one’s chakra versus the effectiveness of a technique while getting one’s body used to the flames they create with the Kekkei Genkai. Quiet Meditation is also known to be able to slowly mend wounds if the temperature of the flame is just right, though the process is significantly slower than if the user was to be healed by a medical-nin. When used as a supplement to medical-nin healing, the healing process is completed much faster than normal.
Limitations: Concentration is the key to this technique. If one loses concentration, the flames may not appear, and if the flames are present when one loses concentration, they may go out of control and harm instead of help. Meditation when severely injured is also impossible, as it is impossible to concentrate on this technique while one is bleeding to death. Quiet Meditation does not serve as an alternate to poison antidotes.

Name: Phoenix Release: Devastating Call
Rank: C
Classification: Offensive
Description: After performing the necessary hand seals, the user will take a deep breath in and then scream at the top of her lungs. While they scream, a brilliant jet of fire will shoot out of their mouth, burning anything that gets in the way of the jet and incinerating the ground and surrounding area within a certain range of the jet. This attack ranges around 70 yards, and spreads out in a breadth of 2 centimeters. The user is also capable of manipulating the temperature of the jet, but that must be done before launching the attack.
Limitations: The attack will only work for as long as the user can scream. Once they stop, the attack will stop as well, thus if they are out of breath, then obviously the attack wouldn’t be very effective. This attack also leaves the user vulnerable to attacks from behind, so it’s best suited for when they battle one on one and the user can see their enemies.

Name: Phoenix Release: Supreme Wings
Rank: B
Classification: Offensive/Defensive
Description: One of the Yakekoge Clan's few defensive techniques. This creates two walls of pure flame that take on the appearance of wings. These wings can be used to defend the user from mostly all attacks, but it should be noted that the user can’t hold the technique for too long due to physical strain it puts on them. The wings may also be shaped into domes to protect the user from aerial attacks. Each wing extends from a range of 2 to 6 meters from the user's back and can be used as means of offense as well. The flames can obviously burn an individual should they make contact.
Limitations: The walls are capable of defending the user against all taijutsu attacks and all attacks involving solids or liquids, but it will leave the user susceptible to energy-based attacks, especially fire and lightning, and it will also leave them susceptible to attacks that aren’t solid or liquid. (Gas.)

Name: Phoenix Release: Majestic Rage Scatter
Rank: B
Classification: Offensive
Description: After gathering chakra in their mouth, the user will spit it out in a volley of fireballs that travels through the air at their targets. There are fifteen fireballs total that are scattered. Since it is a scattered attack, the chance that it makes any direct and/or fatal hits is low, but can be highly effective for distractions or setting up another attack.
Limitations: The attack is quite easy to dodge due to the scattered proximity. The attack does not travel far, and can only reach about 15 yards from its origin.

Name: Phoenix Release: Majestic Rage Focus
Rank: B
Classification: Offensive
Description: Similar to Majestic Rage Scatter, though instead of shooting out multiple fireballs, only one is shot out. It is about the size of a normal tire and despite being larger than the smaller fireballs, it travels much faster since more chakra is poured into it to fuel its stability and speed. It is most effective in smaller spaces where the target has less space to run around in. It can travel to a distance of 30 yards before it explodes.
Limitations: It is still rather easy to dodge this attack if one was farther away and had enough room to run.

Name: Phoenix Release: Great Wrath of the Phoenix
Rank: A
Classification: Offensive
Description: A large-scale version of Majestic Rage Focus. The fireball produced is huge and may change shape to form a phoenix. It is capable of completely destroying anything that gets consumed in it, and the ensuing explosion will cause massive damage as well as a dramatic spike in temperature that will fade once the chakra in the fireball is used up. The fireball ranges 2 yards in size. It remains in a ball until it comes fairly close to its target, then it transforms into the shape of a phoenix. Upon collision, the explosion produced spreads to a range of 10 yards indefinitely.
Limitations: This attack can only be used in any fight as it’s really a one-time hit or miss kind of attack, though even if one isn’t directly hit by the fireball, the explosion may still cause burning and severe injury depending on how close one is when it blows. (Closer means more force which could result in broken bones.)

Name: Phoenix Release: Raging Tide
Rank: A
Classification: Offensive
Description: Similar to the Devastating Call technique, though on a larger scale and without the need to scream. Raging Tide produces a large wave of fire from the user’s mouth, drowning the battlefield with flames. These flames surround the field of battle in a sea of flames that range from around 5 to 10 yards. These flames spread to another 2 yards every other one of the user's posts. The flames created are so intense that they are able to grant the user their user an environmental bonus, but only after it begins to spread.
Limitations: The attack is dangerous when used on the battlefield, especially when it comes to battling in a team. It requires the user to spend and entire post building up the amount of chakra to use this technique. It is a double edged sword, as the user can be burned by their own flames if they aren't careful, and should only be used when the user is fighting solo.

Name: Phoenix Release: Eternal Cleansing Flames
Rank: C - S
Classification: Supportive
Description: White flames surround the user’s hands, and though they burn with intense ferocity, the heat emitted from them is quite calming and soothing. When used to heal, the flames are highly effective. This technique can be used to repair just about any form of damage and works faster than standard medical ninjutsu but as opposed to using the chakra of the user to heal, the flames burn slowly using the chakra of the target being healed. As long as the flames are touching the target, the user will not have to pour their chakra into the flames to maintain them. (Basically, it’ll look like they just set someone on fire.) If used in unison with medical ninjutsu, the patient will recover significantly quicker than normal.
Limitations: Though it is not entirely necessary for the flames to heal using the patient’s chakra, it would put much less of a strain on the user during the use of this technique for them to create and maintain the fire. Normally, the user would 'light the person on fire' and let their own chakra work with the flames to heal, though in cases where the target is out of chakra, the user would have to heal them using their own. The flames will never completely use up the chakra of its host. Once it gets to a certain point where they have low chakra, the flames will automatically stop burning, and if the user attempts to heal anyone who is already low on chakra, the flames will refuse to stick to the host. If the user were to heal themself or someone lacking enough chakra using this technique, it would take massive amounts of chakra, mainly due to the fact that the flames will not stick to them or their targets, thus they must constantly maintain the flames whilst letting it feed off of their chakra in order for it to heal. The chakra drain takes place each post this move is in effect, and it takes three posts total for the effects of this technique to be complete. If a user draws on the patient's chakra, the cot is halved. This move is unable to cure poisons, or heal any wound on an individual that has sustained poisoning of any sort.

Name: Phoenix Release: Veil of the Phoenix
Rank: S
Classification: Offensive/Defensive
Description: One of the strongest moves that a Phoenix Release user can perform with enough skill. The user’s body will be covered in blazing hot flames, allowing them to burn their targets with a simple touch if they get close enough. The fire around their body can be freely manipulated, launching it off as fireballs or jets and streams of fire. They is capable of flying via fire manipulation.
Limitations: The sheer amount of chakra it takes to maintain this move exceeds that of any ninjutsu. Even with intensive training, The user is only able to maintain this mode for up to 4 posts before tiring out. If used in battle, the user would be risking death by using this move, especially since after its use, the user's stamina will have diminished by three quarters of its original value before this move was used, and the amount of chakra used to maintain this technique must be paid each post for up to four posts, and can only be used once per day.


Strength: Members of the Yakekoge Clan are capable of producing inextinguishable flames that burn a bright white color with heat that exceeds any normal flame. With their fire defense techniques, they are defended from physical attacks (if they can't pass through the barrier), projectile attacks (they'll melt upon contact of the flames), solid attacks (ie. Earth would turn to molten rock), and any liquid attacks (ie. water, which would turn into steam). The flames are not hindered by water or ice and can not be put out in any normal way.

Weakness: Members of this clan lack defense - their only defensive move is not impervious to attacks like poisonous clouds or fire and lightning - but exchange it for sheer raw power in the form of blazing white fires. The special moves of the Clan all come with their own set of limitations.

Rules
*Members of this clan must be of the Ninjutsu class, and cannot have Endurance attribute as Primary, Secondary, or Tertiary.
*Members of this clan must have Great Chakra Reserves as Primary attribute, due to the large cost for bloodline techniques used. Also, they must have Elemental Master and Chakra Control as Specialties.
*Katon must be the user's Primary Element.
*The user must always be in control of his/her emotions, for getting too angry may result in a large building spontaneously combusting into flames.
*In accordance to the rank, all chakra used for the Phoenix Release is doubled. So to say that a clan member uses Phoenix Release: Veil of the Phoenix, which would normally cost 15 chakra, it would now cost a whopping 30 chakra points to use.
*This clan's fire is hot enough to melt even the Hyouton clan's Kekkei Genkai.
