Senju Clan [Done]

Name: Senju
Founder: Asura Ōtsutsuki
Leader: [OPEN]
Settlement(s): Kita
Clan Rules: N/A


Allies: Uzumaki and Nara
Enemies: Uchiha and Hyuuga
About: The Senju are descendants of Asura Ōtsutsuki, the youngest son of the Sage of the Six Paths. Through Asura, the Senju inherited the Sage's "body", granting them a powerful life force and chakra. Unlike most other clans, the Senju never developed a trademark ability or style of combat, its members instead being equally proficient in all the ninja arts. It is from this balance that they acquired their name, "Senju" a word that literally means: "a thousand skills", "a thousand hands"), in reference to their being "the clan with a thousand skills".

The Senju are distant relatives of the Uzumaki clan, and for that reason the two clans have remained close allies throughout the years. Members at times marrying between clans. More distantly, the Senju are also related to the Uchiha clan, who descend from the Sage of Six Paths' other son, Indra Ōtsutsuki.

During this current period in time, the Senju and Uchiha have emerged as two of the strongest shinobi clans in the world. When one fledgling settlement hires the Senju to fight in their wars, the opposing side will usually hire the Uchiha. This constant warfare between their clans has only fueled their hatred, with almost all Senju owing the death of a loved one to an Uchiha and vice versa.

Characteristics: Nothing in particular.


KKG: Body of the Sage

KKG Description: Just like the man their clan has descended from, those of the Senju name have been gifted the "body" of the Sage of 6 Paths. They each possess a powerful life force that adds to their chakra. This allows Senju's to start off with a level of "Adept" in their Chakra sub-stat.

As well as having a powerful life force, Senju's also hold a deep connection with the world around them. This combined with their powerful life force allows them to make use of jutsu that would usually need the element to pre-exist before use. (Example: A Senju that held an affinity towards the Raiton element wouldn't need a thunderstorm in order to perform Kirin).

One other ability that Senju are able to make use of is the Mokuton element. Mokuton (Wood Release) is a combined nature transformation kekkei genkai originated from the Senju clan. It is made up of techniques that mix earth-based chakra in one hand and water-based chakra in the other to create wood as well as various plants, from simple seeds to even flowering trees. Wood and plants can be produced from any surface, including the user's own body, as the user's chakra is literally converted into a source of life. Senju are able to make use of this advanced element, but the requirment to do so is that the Senju in question has both an affinity to the elements of Earth and Water, as this advanced element requires a combination of both.
