Clan:[/b ]Hyuuga

[b]Location: Scattered

Clan History: Once one of the great noble clans of Konoha; the Hyuuga have recently fallen on (relatively) hard times. The clan is highly scattered at the moment; in the great exodus from Konoha many of the oppressed and marginalized members fled to the various other villages; many settling in Hana and Yokuchi where hiding their identities was easiest. Within just a few years the last vestiges of the clan's branch system evaporated; the former Main branch had lost it's power over the clan; while the "Branch" members had found their freedom. This destruction of the systems the clan had worked under for generations caused the family to fall from prominence in politics.

This fall from grace has not stopped the clan from producing some of the strongest ninja in the world; the Byakugan is one of the few Doujutsu that is not weakened significantly when the calculated arranged marriage system of the clan fell apart. The descendants of the former "Main" branch have settled mostly in Niwaurushi; and are working to restore their former positions of power; while the rest of the clan lives peaceful lives in the rest of the world.

Kekkei Genkai: The Byakugan

Kekkei Genkai Description: The primary ability of the Byakugan gives the user a near 360º field of vision, except for one blind spot at the back of the neck above the first thoracic vertebra. Upon activation of the dōjutsu, the wielder is granted an automatic 50 metre field of vision around themselves which can then be extended at their discretion.

The second ability is being able to see through solid objects, as well as some degree of telescopic sight. It can also see through most barriers, and other things such as smokescreens, differentiate between non-corporeal clones and can see through techniques that would otherwise hide an opponent from normal sight. The distance and the degree of telescopic sight varies from person to person, and can be improved through training. However, the Byakugan cannot see through certain barriers.

The third and one of the greatest uses of the Byakugan is the ability to see chakra, chakra flow, the chakra circulation system inside the body with great detail as well as the colour of chakra. It is from this particular ability that the Hyūga Clan are able to employ their ultimate attack style: Gentle Fist. Unlike the Strong Fist, which is focused on external injuries, the Gentle Fist style focuses on internal injuries. Each strike, when placed correctly, strikes along the chakra pathway system, which is the network of vessels that carry chakra. This network is closely intertwined with the functioning of the body's organs, and so, when the keirakukei take damage, the organs suffer as well. There is no defence against the Gentle Fist, since one cannot train one's internal organs to become stronger. The only possible defence is to stop the Gentle Fist's hits from connecting. Like the Sharingan and Rinnegan, the Byakugan's ability to see chakra and its flow allows the user to detect chakra sealed barriers as well as determine when genjutsu is being used. It was shown in the anime that the Byakugan can also discern a transformation, and a real person using the eye's ability to see chakra.

Particularly skilled users of the Byakugan can take the Gentle Fist style one step further. Along the keirakurei are 361 pinprick-sized nodes called tenketsu, or chakra points, which only the more skilled users can see. When struck, the Byakugan user can choose to either seal, or forcibly open these tenketsu, thus giving the user complete control over their opponent's chakra system. So, with precision, all those points along the victim's body can be sealed, stopping the chakra flow to those areas. Able to strike without force, and yet do more damage to a ninja than some of the most powerful ninjutsu, the Gentle Fist has been labelled as the greatest taijutsu style known in all of Konohagakure.

Drawbacks: Constantly using the Byakugan over a very long period of time causes severe eye strain. Bright lights and flashes can blind a Hyuga for up to 3 posts

Kekkei Genkai Jutsu: The Gentle Fist

Name: Gentle Fist
Canon/Custom: Canon
Rank: D - S
Type: Offensive
Element: -
Range: Close
Specialty: Taijutsu
Duration: 1 Post
Cooldown: 2 Posts
Description: The Gentle Fist is a form of hand-to-hand combat used by members of the Hyūga clan. It inflicts internal damage through attacking the body's Chakra Pathway System, subsequently injuring organs which are closely intertwined with the area of the network which has been struck. To do this, the user surgically injects a certain amount of their own chakra into the opponent's chakra pathway system, causing damage to surrounding organs due to their proximity to the chakra circulatory system. Even the slightest tap can cause severe internal damage, hence the name "gentle" fist.

Targeting the tenketsu can enhance the havoc and control a Gentle Fist practitioner can impose upon an opponent's chakra network. These special nodes, 361 in total, are key gatekeeping interceptions in the chakra circulatory network, thus forcibly opening or sealing them in whatever manner the Gentle Fist user sees fit is a powerful tactical option to have. The user's chakra can either increase chakra flow in the opponent's body, or disrupt it completely, preventing them from using techniques.

D Rank: The user has little control of their chakra, and can cause small, superficial bruises and burns.
