Clan Information
Kesu
Bloodline Name: Explosion Release: Choy-Li fist
Bloodline Ability: In the past Explosion release was a relatively widespread Kekkei Genkai. It is the ability to use earth/advanced nature chakra to create explosive offensive techniques. The Kesu clan specializes in the combination of short range Explosive jutsu’s and their own unique Taijutsu style. When a clan member with the blood line ability is born, they are made to master the Kesu‘s Choy-Li Taijustsu before learning how to control the close quarters Explosion Release techniques.
Physical Traits: Members have no genetically definable traits. There is a consequential aesthetic feature shared within the clan, these being the many scars obtained from the training of Explosion release Jutsu’s and the subsequent debris caused by them.
Due to the clan’s vigorous Taijutsu training, all practitioners of Explosion release: Choy-Li are lithe and athletic in appearance.
Location: Boufuu
Clan History: In the days gone by, the kekkei genkai Explosion release was relatively widespread; there were several lineages capable of using said Explosive techniques. However through time and the hardships of life, many lineages became obsolete. The origin of the Kesu clan comes from the amalgamation of two separate lineages. In the outskirts of Boufuugakure there existed a small and relatively unimportant Clan of taijutsu practitioners, who from an early age were trained in the Choy-Li style, a mixture of hard and soft techniques. Though not a large clan, their style had been acquired through centuries of battles and competitions with other taijutsu practicing clans, giving the Choy-Li style a very strong and honed finish. The other lineage were a clan of nomadic shinobi, years of travelling and disease had decimated their clan, almost eradicating their kekkei genkai (Nature transformation: Explosion release), they settled in the Heat country, not knowing they were far from Boufuugakure or the Choy-Li clan.
The two clans unison was not recorded in any of the Kesu records how it occurred, and it has been often rumored a story made to romanticize the clans history; a young man of the Nomadic people had fallen in love with the chief heiress to the Choy-Li clan. Both had kept this secret from their representative clans, in fear of persecution. However when the heiress became pregnant their love could no-longer be hidden.
The Choy-Li’s headmaster, the heiress’s farther, while hard spirited and rigid in his ways could not help his compassion when he saw the newborn child. The child served as a symbol of unity with the now combined nomadic and Choy-Li clans. As the child grew he was taught both clans lineages of techniques, during his final days of training the now teen prodigy combined a Explosive jutsu with one of the Choy-Li’s taijutsu attacks, the compatibility of the techniques shocked everyone there. The Boy was named Atamanoiiko (Bright child), as time passed and he garnered experience Atamanoiiko was chosen as the new head of the united clans. Upon his appointment declared the disbandment of the clans, in order for a new clan to rise; the new clan was named Kesu, which meant “to improve”.
The Kesu clan remained small and unimportant, and through the centuries it devoted itself to furthering Atamanoiiko’s techniques and style. The explosion release bloodline had no specific requirements for passing down generations, only that the parents bared the Kekkei Genkai before them.
The virtue of the Kesu clan remains as strong as ever, the clan still aims to maintain its stoic and self preservation like nature. As such despite the clans relatively powerful techniques and martial prowess, they are not regarded as an important clan within Boufuugakure.
The clans primary heir Furen Kesu firmly believes in increasin the Kesu's involvement within Bofuu. Perhaps the time has come for Kesu to rise up and aid their village, whatever fate holds for them, it is certain that the clan will be affected with what is to come.
Genin
Name: Explosion Release - Rocket Shuriken
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: D
Element: Explosive
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Within 12 feet of the user (Short)
Description: The Rocket shuriken jutsu allows the user to give held shuriken(s) explosive properties; they Explode when they make contact. This replaces the use of explosive tags, the main limitations being chakra consumption and amount of shurikens. They release a small explosion which is relatively weak. The strength of the blast increases marginally as the users rank progresses. 1 post cool down per 2 shuriken thrown, thus if 6 shurikens are thrown then it would be a 3 post cool down. Chakra consumption; 5 per shuriken.
Name: Explosion release – Iron Windmill
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: D
Element: Explosion
Type: Nintaijutsu
Range: Up to two feet (short)
Description: This is a minor jutsu used in combination with the users Taijutsu. A hand seal is required at the start to funnel small collections of chakra into the tips of the users appendages. Once released minor explosions are used to aid and propel offensive taijutsu movements, resulting in the ‘windmill’ movement of legs and arms, as the users lets the momentum carry the strike, to try and prevent would likely result in injury and straining of the muscles. Combined with the Kesu clans hardened fist and martial awareness this can be quite an effective technique. Duration; one post. Two post cool down.
Chuunin
Name: Explosion Release - Firework Clone
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: C
Element: Explosion
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Self (Short)
Description: As with all other elemental releases, Explosion release can be used to create a clone, the created clone serves primarily as a distraction, when struck or defeated they emit a large concussive sound wave and a bright flash, which if effective, allows the user to close in on the target and use their taijutsu. The jutsu uses a large amount of chakra and deals little damage, it serves as a suppressing role. Five post cool down. Clone lasts until struck.
S-ranked
Name: Explosion Release - Landmine Fist
Canon/Custom: Canon
Rank: S
Element: Explosion
Type: Nintaijutsu
Range: Strike has to be landed – no range (Short)
Description: After establishing direct contact with their opponent through a simple strike, the user utilises Explosion Release to subsequently generate a powerful explosion from the initial point of physical contact. This explosion is powerful enough to completely obliterate a biological opponent or object much larger than the user. Due to the directionality of the blast, the user minimises any potential repercussions, such as being struck by resultant debris and even recoil appears to be mostly negated. Eight post cool down.
