Nara Clan

*For the most up to date list, check the forums.

History: A noble clan given recognition for their service to the Konohagakure no Sato, the Nara have a prestigious lineage in their homeland and are undoubtedly noted throughout the country. However, the characteristics of the clan don’t exactly meet their notoriety. Lazy and apathetic, the Nara often enough would rather be left to daydream and keep their heads in the cloud, normally letting the women of the family take care of the “troublesome stuff”. Thankfully their clan’s abilities to force their enemies mirror their movements can also be used to take care of any chores. But that seems even more troublesome than it needs to be.
Kekkai Genkai: The Nara Clan has the ability to manipulate shadows.

Kage Yose no Jutsu - Shadow Gathering Technique
Art: Ninjutsu
Rank: E
Type: Supplementary
Range: Close (0-5m)
Chakra: 5
Description: This technique uses the Kage Nui threads to extend from the user’s shadow. These threads can then be used to grab or bind objects. Further, the shadow thread can actually pull and move things as well.
*Note: Does not take an action to use.
Limit: Nara Clan.

Kage Mane no Jutsu - Shadow Imitation Technique
Art: Ninjutsu
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary
Range: Close (0-5m), Mid (5-10m)
Chakra: 4
Description: This technique’s original purpose was as a skill to help delay any pursuers. After forming the needed hand seals, the clan member is able to manipulate their shadow along any surface. By using other nearby shadows, they can further extend the reach of their shadow; however, they are limited to the surface area of the original cast shadow. Once the clan member’s shadow reaches the target shadow, it will attach itself. While attached, the target will be frozen, only able to replicate in mirror form the actions of the clan member. If the clan member is low on chakra, the Kage Mane will falter and the shadow will return to its normal form.
*Note: May break out if significantly less chakra than the opponent. The technique dispels once opponent is damaged. Does not take an action to use.
Limit: Nara Clan. Once per turn.

Kage Mane Shuriken no Jutsu - Shadow Imitation Shuriken
Art: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Range of Weapon
Chakra: 23
Description: Using some object, the user can imbue their shadow chakra to create “pins” to stick an opponent in place. The object used, generally a ranged weapon, absorbs the shadow-chakra of the user, gaining its effects By implanting the shadow chakra enhanced object into the shadow of a target, they will be frozen in place; just as if they were caught in one of the clan member’s extended shadow bindings.
*Note: May break out if significantly less chakra than the opponent. The technique dispels once opponent is damaged. Does not take an action to use.
Limit: Nara Clan. Once per turn.

Kage Nui - Shadow Sewing
Art: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Any
Chakra: 45
Description: To perform the technique, the user will first form the needed hand seal to extend their shadow. The user will then change the hand seal to cause the shadow to emerge from the ground in tendrils. The tendrils can extend and whip about and are strong enough to pierce nearby targets.
Limit: Nara Clan.

Kage Kubi Shibari no Jutsu - Shadow Neck Bind Technique
Art: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Type: Attack
Range: Close (0-5m), Mid (5-10m)
Chakra: 100
Description: Kage Kubi Shibari no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique developed by the Nara clan. To perform the technique the clan member will first bind their target using the Kage Mane no Jutsu technique. Once the target can no longer move, they form the needed hand seal to initiate this technique. The clan member uses their shadow to form a hand, which will creep up their opponent’s body to their neck. Once the hand reaches the neck, it will constrict in such a manner so as to strangle the opponent. However, the clan member will need to be careful. If their target has a lot of chakra, they can turn back the shadow hand and prevent it from binding their neck.
*Note: Opponent must be caught in shadow.
Limit: Nara Clan.
