The representative of this clan is normally the leader chosen by the first three. The Clan is one of the single largest clans, in terms of raw numbers, alive and practices with two branches. The main branch are those that have blood ties to the Senbō while what are known as the limb branches have been accumulated into the clan due to their trade skills or other value. The Senbō Clan is known for its immense size, its wealth, its power and possibly most of all its smiths. The Smiths are more akin to craftsmen than mere smiths and have even mastered a technique called Chakrasmithing. The strength of the Senbō shinobi is often overshadowed by their wealth, size and crafts, but are not to be overlooked. [b]History:[/b] The Senbō Clan is rumored to have ancestors that werel disciples of Ninshuu whom not only first strayed from the Sage of Six Paths, but rejected his views of chakra. Bound together in a new social fabric, these original deserters knew they had nowhere near the strength to fight the Sage, so they agreed to an armistice with him. They opted to live in isolation within the Land of Earth countless generations before present day. As the Sage respected all life and could not convert them peacefully, he was left with allowing them peaceful isolation. The Senbō Clan thus began developing its own style and had a significant head start on the practitioners of Ninshuu that the Sage himself scattered around the world. They coveted the power held by the two sons of the Sage and thus have coveted the power of his descendants for generations. Those within the Senbō Clan have had a healthy rivalry with the Senju and Uchiha Clan since before their exodus from the Land of Earth, where they felt their tradeskills and isolation were not best used, This rivalry only grew even greater since their settlement within the Land of Fire. They have become, although technically peaceful, an aggressive clan, constantly encroaching outwards, causing many disputes and arguably one of the most wealthy and influential in existence today The growth of their wealth alone threatens the seats of the wealthiest clans within the Land of Fire.. Almost every clan within the Land of Fire and Land of Wind purchase goods from the Senbō Clan and their trade is guarded so tightly that bandits and enemy shinobi alike fear assaulting their caravans. [b]Kekkei Genkai[/b] The Senbō have two Kekkei Genkai and any member can be born with either, neither or both. The clan has been gifted with a strong affinity for Lightning Release as well as Steel Release, the latter being an Advanced Chakra nature. Their secondary Kekkei Genkai is called Denki Jōmyaku. [indent][b]Denki Jōmyaku[/b] is the manifestation of the Lightning Affinity within the Clan. This Kekkei Genkai alters the chakra network of those that have it to be highly resistant to all other forms of chakra and conduct lightning chakra exceptionally well. This, by extension, grants those with the Kekkei Genkai an inherent resistance, but not immunity to, genjutsu and binding jutsu. By merely having this Kekkei Genkai, the nervous systems, senses and reaction times are enhanced without any needed chakra assistance. This Kekkei Genkai also has two advanced stages: [b]Jimen[/b] is an activated ability that forces electrical currents through the body. This ability is essentially Lightning Release Armor that uses less chakra but comes at a different cost. When using Jimen, user gains significantly greater strength, speed, agility, mental acuity and even control over Lightning chakra, but become significantly weaker at all other elements, basic techniques and molding chakra that has no affinity to begin with. While active, even basic Clone jutsu is difficult and most likely will only result in one clone. Techniques like Rasengan will be entirely impossible. [b]Genzaigan[/b] is the rarest manifestation of the clan and acts as their doujutsu. The eyes of the user will glaze over a deep blue with a bright yellow iris. This doujutsu allows the user to easily see all forms of chakra and electrical currents. Those specialized in the Genzaigan are often, at a point in their maturity, forced to choose between developing it into one of two different variations: the Sei Denryū Genzaigan and the Fu Denryū Genzaigan. The Seigenzaigan focuses on the ability to see electrical currents; its benefit its the ability to predict enemy movements before they are even made by interpreting electrical currents before muscles can even react. The Fugenzaigan focuses on the ability to see chakra, and completely forfeits the ability to see electrical currents for a significantly clearer vision of chakra and understanding of it. No known user of the Genzaigan has ever used both Fu and Sei-Denryū without going blind.[/indent] [b]Chakrasmithing[/b] The Senbō Clan are known, foremost, as the world's greatest artisans. If that is held true, then their greatest art is that of Chakrasmithing. Chakrasmithes, like all craftsman, vary in skill, thus vary in capability. The most novice Chakrasmithes can turn iron into a chakra conductive weapon while the most skilled can create master pieces capable of sentience or using powerful jutsu normally exclusive to Jounin. In most cases, a weapon crafted by a Chakrasmith has a single effect, such as releasing a variation of a Fire Bullet Technique in the form of a slash, as well as igniting when chakra is ran through it. However,the true limitations are technically unknown. There are very few Chakrasmithes as to perform the craft, one requires both Steel Release and the Fugenzaigan - the rarest genetic combination within the clan. Weapons crafted by Master Chakrasmithes are normally buried with their owners and sold for land or at the price of mountains. ------ Here guise, I made this just for ju.
