Clan Name: Tenrairisu
Village of Origin: Unknown
Kekkei Genkai:
Tenseikatsu (“Heavenly Life”): Instead of using chakra, like most people do, the people of the Tenrairisu use Mantra, a much more spiritual version of the well known chakra. This, however, cannot be used in the same manner as chakra due to the lack of physical aspects. Due to this lack of physical aspect, Mantra cannot be molded or controlled in the same manner as chakra. This cannot be used for neither elemental ninjutsu nor any genjutsu, but can still be used to enhance the physical body of the user. Mantra is gained through the use of meditation by the amount of time the user spent in mediatation. Users of Tenseikatsu no longer have access to chakra for use as it is replaced by Mantra. Users of the Tenseikatsu are capable of sensing the life-force energy of the living things around them, the range and precision of this depends on the skill of the user. Sensing life energy allows them to sense a person’s physical and mental health. Unlike chakra, the Mantra is deep green in color (a reference to how green symbolizes balance and harmony in Buddhism).
Mantra doesn’t require the same kind of things, such as hand seals, that chakra requires to use it. However, it does require an amount of concentration and focus in order to use, though this is mainly only due to the time it takes to gather and build the Mantra required for a technique. When using Mantra for a technique, the user must pray; the amount regained varies on the time spent praying (An example being that praying for a short amount of time will regain just enough Mantra to use a C rank technique). All techniques that require an excessive amount of Mantra require a short, repeated chant that the user says as they gather Mantra to use the technique. The common way that the Tenrairisu gather Mantra is by holding their open hands in a praying position.
Finally, more advanced users have the secondary ability known as Kamikarada (“Divine Body”). This ability allows the user to manifest their Mantra onto the physical plane around their body. This creates an avatar that copies the user’s every movement and is capable of being detached from the user’s body. This avatar is just as physical as the user themselves and is capable of causing damage. The avatar, however, can only take a single form of the user’s choice and cannot be changed or molded into anything else.

This Mantra is solidified and is as strong as the user’s Mantra pool; the more the Mantra, the more powerful the avatar’s physical abilities are. The avatar will completely mimic the user’s movements and is as fast as the user in both speed and reaction ability.

The user’s eyes turn green in color, glowing in a smoky-like manner. Once this happens, the user’s physical abilities are amplified by a massive amount. Despite the seeming disappearance of the Mantra surrounding the user, the user’s attack range is still amplified by the same amount of area that the solidified Mantra occupied.

Physical Characteristics:
Members of this clan have completely bald heads and rarely have any body hair. They also have deep green eyes.
History:
The Tenrairisu were founded by a monk named Bodh Gaya who occupied an ancient and abandoned temple on top of a tall mountain called Arahant Mountain. Upon gaining followers, he started to teach them the belief system of the Tenraikatsu, gods that believe that the spirit is the greatest weapon a person or mortal can wield. This religion taught its followers, now known as the Tenrairisu, how to wield Mantra, essentially a person’s spiritual essence made manifest and how to use it as a weapon for both war and peace.
The Tenrairisu people believe in peace and only using violence as a last resort. Despite this, they are trained in martial arts known as Tenohira no Hotoke “Open Palm of the Buddha”; a martial art that relies on open palm strikes, defensive stances, counterattacking, blocking and redirecting attacks. Some time ago, they encountered the shinobi world as well as the problem of the Corruption, deciding to help them combat it in their own way.
Summary:
Monks that use their spiritual power to battle and protect the world from the forces of evil.
