The Tsukiyo Clan of Kirigakure no Sato

[NoobieWorld]

(Symbol) The Clan Symbol is not very complex and detailed, unlike that of most other families. The meaning of such image is yet to be fully thought of OOCly, though amongst family ICly, it'll certainly have some degree of value.



(Kekkei Genkai.) The Tsukiyo Clan's bloodline limit is the Crystal Release.


(Surname and backstory.) The Clan surname is Tsukiyo, though it was initially something else. The family was found long ago, in the early 300's, by the name of Shingen, one of its most notable members being a puppeteer. Sadly, upon his demise around 40 or 50 years later, the family soon fell apart. Perhaps there would be one Shingen here and there who managed to adopt the Crystal Release and use it properly, though they died off soon after, not ever really amounting to much. They could never find the Shingen's way, as if fate had already declared the family to perish and amount to nothing for all eternity.

But, as one might have already figured out, things changed. At around the 450's, a Shingen woman who had managed to find herself fairly adept upon the usage of the Crystal Release techniques reunited her family, bringing about a resurgence on the Clan, and due to wanting to completely wipe the slate clean and bring about a 'new' and royal family back into business, the name changed. The once fallen and forgotten Shingen Clan returned by a new name: the Tsukiyo Clan.

Now, after long and glorious years, said woman has passed away, and on her deathbed, she had a single wish- for the current generation of Tsukiyo to not allow all her previous hard work and effort to go to waste, and to maintain the Clan's stability and power. Would, however, they be able to meet her expectations?


(List of Hidden Jutsu.) The Crystal Release techniques the Tsukiyo Clan can use, even though most have never been learned, and perhaps never will, are the following, ranging from the most basic to the most complex:

(** Note: Yes, I am aware I'm not posting any 'Jade Crystal' techniques because I thought that it could be a rare ability given to 1/100 Tsukiyos born, and so I decided to only implement it at a later time, seeing as this is still being talked amongst the current Tsukiyo group and won't be released in-game for a long time if the Clan is hopefully accepted.)

Jutsu Rank (Category): Japanese Name (English Name)
Jutsu Description

D-Rank (Offensive): ??? (Crystal Needles)
The user creates long, sharp, thin, and pointed bright pink and white crystals that shoot at the target at extremely high speeds with pinpoint accuracy.

D-Rank (Offensive): Shuriken Ranbu (Shuriken Wild Dance)
The user surrounds themselves in crystal particles, condensing them into numerous shuriken which then rain onto the opponent.

D-Rank (Supplementary): ??? (Crystal Wheel)
The user creates a ring-shaped wheel made of crystal around them, allowing them to keep above water and reach a high speed.

C-Rank (Defensive/Supplementary): Kurenai no Kajitsu (Crimson Fruit)
The user creates a dome of crystal to surround a target. It is highly durable from both external and internal attacks, and can be used to either protect or trap a target.

C-Rank (Offensive/Defensive): Kesshou no Yoroi (Crystal Armor)
This technique allows the user to cover their skin with a thin sheet of crystal that improves their defense against physical attacks. This armor can also aid the user to perform stronger physical attacks. The crystal is transparent and can only be noticed by light reflecting off it.

C-Rank (Offensive/Supplementary): ??? (Crystal Imprisionment Wave)
The user can encase a swarm of opponents in crystal, and unlike other crystal prisons used by the Tsukiyo, where the crystal emerged from the ground, this crystal forms in the air.

C-Rank (Offensive/Defensive): ??? (Growing Crystal Thorns)
The user creates growing thorn-like crystals that they can manipulate to continuously grow towards their target's direction just as long as their focus is unhindered.

C-Rank (Offensive/Supplementary): Omiwatari no Jutsu (The Gods' Crossings Technique)
The user places their hand on a surface, creating a long stream of sharp crystals to bind and pierce a target.

C-Rank(Supplementary): Suishou Bunshin (Crystal Clone)
These clones are made of crystal, and once defeated, crumble back into crystal. Clones made by this technique are also able to deceive Byakugan users because of the reflective nature of the clone. However by focusing their sight, this can be circumvented. They are solid, just like most non-regular bunshins, and can only perform Crystal Release techniques.

B-Rank (Offensive/Supplementary): Hashou Kouryuu (Tearing Crystal Falling Dragon)
The user crystallises a material in the area, and then turns it into a dragon. It can be used as a means to travel or to attack a target. Several dragons can also be made and manipulated at once.

B-Rank (Defensive): ??? (Crystal Encampment Wall)
The user sends out a wave of chakra which then turns into an almost impenetrable crystal wall which also repairs itself when damaged.

B-Rank (Offensive): ??? (Crystal Lance)
This technique allows the user to create a large and sharp spear-like crystal surrounding their forearm, which they can use to impale their target.

A-Rank (Offensive): Kesshou Gokakurou (Crystal Pentagonal Prison)
The user completely encases their opponents in crystal. When the crystal is shattered, the bodies of the victims disintegrate along with the crystal particles. (Basically the Clan's ultimate jutsu which nobody will probably ever get their hands on.)


(Clan's weaknesses.) The Tsukiyo Clan doesn't have one of the strongest Kekkei Genkais. No. Far from it- but luckily, their weaknesses are few and hard to discover. The first being that the Crystal Release users cannot crystalize either raw energy or chakra, as they have no physical mass to be crystalized- thus allowing a person with either energy-based techniques, such as lightning, fire, wind, or good chakra control to properly counter it. The second weakness of the Crystal Release is that it is susceptible to a specific sound-wave frequency; and so because crystal requires a very precise build-up of molecules, the proper sound waves can break down the build-up before the crystal can properly form.
