Welcome to Gaia! ::

Clan Name: Suchīrufōji
Village of Origin: Iwagakure

Kekkei Genkai Name: Kinzoku kōji
Rank: B
Description: Kinzoku kōji is a glorified form of the kekkei genkai it is a mutation of steel release. It maintains many of the core principles of steel release, offering greater physical defense, but was genetically modified to be an improvement on its predecessor. Kinzoku kōji allows the user to alter selected body parts, or even the entire body, and turn them into metal. The user may also, to an extent, alter the properties of the metal they are made of, generate, or come into contact with.
Weakness: Lightning release proves to be the most effective against the Suchīrufōji clan. Though there are occurrences in which clan members can have an affinity for it, these rarities are far and few between. Granted that Temple of Magni is the prefered jutsu of the clan members, one will find that they are exceptionally weak to lightning based attacks. The weakness doesn’t so much come in the form of great physical damage as it does stunning them. Lightning based attacks can paralyze the body and will ground them making them move incredibly slow. The more conductive the metal they turn into the slower the paralyzation takes place, however the more conductive the metal is the softer it becomes. Enough lighting can even superheat the metal and cause it to melt. This does not include weapons charged with lightning chakra as the lightning must be consistently surging through the body to achieve this, however lightning charged weapons do deal extra damage to those in the Temple of Magni state.

Bloodline Techniques:

Technique: Temple of Magni
Rank: A
Type: Defensive/Offensive
Range: 0’
Description: Similar to the steel release: impervious armor jutsu, the user morphs their flesh into a type of metal of their choosing, granting them a great degree of defensive capability and making them nigh invulnerable to most kinetic based attacks. Energy based elemental attacks, such as fire or lightning, do damage but not as great of a rate as they would do to a normal individual. While in the metal form the user’s physical strength is also greatly enhanced, though it is not on par with the likes of chakra enhanced strength. While in there metal form the user can also freely change the metal they are made out of at will. Though less conductive metals do exist there is no metal that is completely non conductive, therefore no way to get around their weakness through this technique.
Limitations: Depending on the type of metal the user decides to become they adopt different weaknesses, regardless of this though they all have the same key weakness of lightning. As stated before lightning attacks severely slow down the user and can paralyze them if they are continuously hit with lightning or if they are hit with a strong enough lightning attack. After sustaining enough lightning damage the metal will begin to melt and cause physical deformity in the user, eventually resulting in death.

Technique: Metal Clone
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary
Range: 0’
Description: Similar to the shadow clone jutsu the user makes a clone of themselves, but the clone is made entirely out of metal, making it far more durable and far stronger. Metal clones created follow the same laws of the “Temple of Magni” technique, though like “Infinite Construction” they can be produced directly from the user’s body rather than appearing beside them.
Limitations: These clones suffer from the same limitations as “Temple of Magni” and the clan’s overall weakness to lightning.

Technique: Vulcan’s Wrath
Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: 0’-30’
Description: While connected to the ground the user can use his chakra to manipulate the minerals in the ground, forcefully constructing metal beneath their feet. Once constructed, the spikes sprout from the ground with intense speed, intending to impale everything in their path. The metal can be created and fired in a straight line or explode in a field around the user. The spikes are quite dense and easily tear through most defenses.
Limitations: The user must either be connected to the ground or have placed a decent amount of chakra into the ground, otherwise this technique can not be used. The technique can be done both with or without hand signs. If done with hand signs the metal will construct and protrude almost instantly after the hand signs end. If done without the hand signs the user gains a more stealthy advantage, but the metal takes 10 seconds to construct before protruding from the ground.

Technique: Infinite Construction
Rank: B - S
Type: Supplementary
Range: 0’
Description: Much in the same way a Suchīrufōji can turn their skin into metal they can also generate metal on their skin and mold it as they please. Just like Temple of Magni, the user can choose the type of metal generated and alter both the shape and what the metal is made of as long as they are holding on to it. All metal generated by this technique is considered to be chakra infused metal. This technique is generally used to create weapons, but can be used to create armor over the body instead of resulting to Temple of Magni. Metal is otherwise subservient to the Suchīrufōji clan, not so much as that they can control metal, but their chakra interacts with metal in ways other’s chakra can not. Any metal not generated by the Suchīrufōji clan can be altered into a different kind of metal or have its shape altered as long as they are in contact with that metal.
Limitations: Unlike the Temple of Magni the user is not turning their flesh into metal so much as covering their flesh with it. If lightning were to hit a Suchīrufōji covered in metal they will suffer extensive damage as the metal now serves as a conduit. Metal created by the Suchīrufōji will not dissipate or break down if it leaves the Suchīrufōji’s body. The Suchīrufōji can absorb metal back into their body to regain the chakra, but only if the metal is not extensively broken/damaged. The amount of metal produced is relative to the amount of chakra used to create said metal. To alter metal that does not originate from them they must be holding on to it. Once released, the metal will revert back to its natural state and shape, unless extra chakra (A-ranked) is put into to keep its shape. Metal that does not originate from the user can not be absorbed to regain chakra.

Technique: Vulcan’s Touch
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: 0’
Description: Possibly the Suchīrufōji’s second favorite technique as it is very helpful, acting as an opposite to Infinite Construction in a sense. This technique allows the user to break down foreign metal on a cellular level and absorb it into their body, converting the metal into chakra as they do so. Chakra metal can also be broken down, offering an even greater chakra gain.
Limitations: Though this is possibly the Suchīrufōji’s strongest ability it does have a few problems. Metal can not be broken down instantly, taking as long as 2 seconds of continuous contact to break down small items such shurikens. Kunai take 3 seconds, short swords 6 seconds, long swords 7 seconds, greatswords 10 seconds. The larger the item and the more metal it consists of, the harder it is to break down. Chakra infused metal takes double the time to break down as the metal becomes a bit more durable and complex.

Technique: Bullet Barrage
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: 0’-100’
Description: A simple technique used by the Suchīrufōji. Generates metal balls, about the size of a small marbles, and fires them out at dangerously high speeds. The fired objects are capable of breaking bone and denting metal. If desired the shape of the metal can be changed to something sharper.
Limitations: As stated the shape of the metal can be made to be sharper, but this requires a bit more precision when generating the metal and requires more chakra usually resulting in a second longer delay than just firing the metal balls.

Technique: Mjölnir Curse
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary/Defensive
Range: 0’-27’
Description: This technique is among the Suchīrufōji’s favorite as it is a jutsu that most can not see taking place. As stated previously, the Suchīrufōji clan’s chakra interacts with metal unlike anyone else. The user of this technique can push their chakra into a metal and control the weight of said metal, either making it heavier or lighter. Generally this is used on opponent’s weapons to make them too heavy to even swing, or if they are wearing armor, make them too heavy to move. Sometimes this technique is paired with Temple of Magni to bunker down and make themselves heavier so they are not blown away from strong wind attacks or earthen attacks meant to push an opponent back. This ability can also be used to lighten the weight of metal objects so that they are easier to use, lift, or move. They can even lighten their own weight while using Temple of Magni.
Limitations: To use this technique the user must have been in contact with the metal for at least 2 seconds before being able to alter its weight. Altering their own weight while using Temple of Magni impairs their movement due to the weight increase. If the user lightens themself they do become faster, however they are not made immune to the slowing effect of lightning attacks.

Secret Techniques:

Physical Characteristics: All members of this clan have silver/gray eyes and their skin has a slight metallic tent to it, touched by the right lighting one could even say they gleam.

History: A long time ago, during the Second Great Ninja War, a clan of ninjas with monstrous power seemed to appear out of thin air. Seemingly spit from the bowels of hell itself, these ninja ruthlessly dominated the battlefield, slaughtering all the enemies that came their way. A combination of impressive defense and crushing strength made them near impossible adversaries to defeat in terms of raw power. Most assume they were an ancient clan of ninja that stayed hidden until they were called upon by the Tsuchikage himself in the time of war. This belief is false. Unlike most clans the Suchīrufōji is not a product of evolution, but rather the product of experimentation done in efforts to win a war. Shinu Yosei was a rather ambitious medical ninja from Iwagakure, obsessed with geneology and human anatomy. His dream was to push people to their full potential by either triggering an evolutionary process or forcefully altering their biological structures to make them stronger.

Under the veil of night and secrecy Shinu put himself through a series of experiments to alter his own genes by integrating different DNA with his and developing a kekkei genkai. With his newfound kekkei genkai Shinu found that he was able to alter his body on a cellular level, he later found that he could do the same to others. During the day he used this technique to help heal wounded ninja faster, if a ninja that peaked his interest came by he would use the technique to simulate death and mark them as KIA. The ninjas that Shinu marked as KIA would be taken back to his lair and he would start their heart again so that he could begin his experiments. Most of his subjects did not live, the ones that did usually became mindless beasts or hideously deformed creatures that he used as assistants to aid him in his research. It dawned on Shinu that the human body could only be pushed so far before it would break. This realization forced him to adapt his goal a bit. Rather than push people to their strongest state by focusing on altering their entire biological makeup, he decided that he could force entire clans to evolve by tampering with just a singular focus on their kekkei genkai.

A member of a rather obscure clan, who fought on the side of Iwagakure, had sustained serious injury and was very likely to die. Aware of the man’s clan and their kekkei genkai, Shinu decided that he would be the first experiment in attempting to obtain his new goal. Shinu stabilized him then simulated his death and marked him as KIA so that he could begin his tests. The man, Katsu Ayani, was apart of a small clan of people who had the kekkei genkai known as “steel release”. Through numerous painful experiments Shinu both kept Katsu alive and brought him to the edge of death by playing God with his body. At the end of his experiments on Katsu he had discovered that he was successful in altering his kekkei genkai and creating a new one, “Kinzoku kōji”. Pleased with this outcome, Shinu underwent a long and grueling process of devising a plan to capture a sizable amount of Katsu’s clan. Disguising himself as another ninja from Konohagakure as well as a few of his servants, he attacked Katsu’s clansmen and put them all in critical condition before secretly taking them back to his lair. With prior knowledge he was able to easily alter their kekkei genkai, forcibly change their physical features, wipe their memories, and sent them back into the world under different names. From that point on Katsu Ayani became Aizen Suchīrufōji.

Their history was fabricated by Shinu’s tampering with their minds, telling the Tsuchikage that they were an old an irrelevant clan that originally abhorred violence so they stayed silent and let their name die. The story continued with them saying that they would put aside their distaste for violence in order to ensure Iwagakure’s victory in this war. It was soon noticed that them abhorring violence seemed to be somewhat of a lie, as they were experts at killing and tearing their enemies apart with such viciousness. Observations of how they fought could reveal all the hatred that swelled inside of them, but no one asked question….not yet at least. As the war went on and the Suchīrufōji clan seemed to win every battle they led, certain things started getting questioned, such as their level of destruction. Enemies weren’t just killed, they were ripped apart or found otherwise gruesomely killed, innocent bystanders quickly became accidental casualties of war, fellow ninjas that tried to correct them were often sent to the infirmary with several broken bones. The clan started to grow volatile and out of control.

In an attempt to prevent further damage caused by them, the Tsuchikage had ordered the Suchīrufōji clan to pull out of the war and return home to stay, but the Suchīrufōji did not listen. Instead, the Suchīrufōji began to purposely kill innocents and allies that got in their way to satiate their blood lust. This act of defiance was treated as traitorous and led to an order that the Tsuchikage gave out demanding the death of the Suchīrufōji clan. In their sleep and in the midst of battle, the Suchīrufōji members were attacked and killed by their fellow ninja, leaving only Aizen to escape by the skin of his teeth. Scared for his life, Aizen ran and ran, killing a few that manage to gain on him until he was eventually surrounded. Outnumbered and overpowered it seemed that Aizen was about to die, until Shinu arrived and killed all of the ninja that threatened Aizen’s life.

Shinu brought Aizen back to his lair and wiped his mind for a second time. Shinu found himself in a predicament that left him both infuriated and saddened, all of his hard work was destroyed. Through his experiments he bread a new clan, but the pain he inflicted on them left a permanent stain on their soul no matter how much he wiped their mind. It was time to start over from scratch. Using his own kekkei genkai, Shinu integrated some of Aizen’s DNA with his own then proceeded to morph his own anatomy to turn himself into a female. The former Shinu, now Yurigo, became the first mother of the new generation of Suchīrufōji. Using her kekkei genkai again, Yurigo rapidly increased the birthing process and rapidly reproduced, making slight alterations to each child’s DNA so that they could breed without any deformities falling on their children. With the next generation born, Yurigo rapidly aged a few and put them in Katsu’s original village under the guise of the Ayani clan. Yurigo then killed Aizen and disappeared without a trace.

In recent years the Suchīrufōji clan that was created so long ago have began to show their faces, appearing as if they were just an inevitable evolution of the Ayani clan and steel release. The new Suchīrufōji lack the anger and hate that the originals had. Though they are more common now, their numbers are still few, not exceeding even 200 clan members.

Summary: A destructive group of individuals that posses the ability to manipulate metal, granting them great defensive and offensive power.

Like, Lightning release could do this normally without the weakness really... and if you are hit by an A rank lightning technique normally, you would be lucky to survive. I expect it would kill someone using this.

That's the only problem I see.
