Henkan Shashin - Returning Photograph

The clan has the ability to summon forth after images, but also past images, although not exactly tampering with time to do so... Infact it has nothing to do with time, it's more of a mirage, or illusion. The clan members are able to create mirage images similar to Bushin clones, although they aren't only visually existing, they have the exact same scent as the clan member, as well as sound, density/etc, as if they were actual real clones of the user, but at the same time aren't physically there, not actually existing, merely a illusion. This isn't a Genjutsu, but actually a passive bloodline ninjutsu technique. The brain is a simple thing to confuse, one could literally have the brain alone without the body, but have it feel, see, smell, hear, through electrical signals throughout the neurons in the brain. The clan member's are capable of confusing the brain in the same way the brain itself sends signals, although at a extreme level though. They are capable of doing this by at a passive rate constantly expelling chakra, although only a minimal amount, thus not exhausting them, but clan members usually have a bit less stamina than the average person, getting tired easily with too much other chakra use.

Their specific chakra type allows them to manipulate ionic charges at an atomic level, although the actual process for the clan members isn't too difficult for them to do, their own brainwaves alone and thoughts control the chakra which in turn performs the deed they need done. The clan members are thus capable of at will causing anyone within range to see such illusions, feedback can be confused as well, thus the rate of neurons sending messages will be altered to those near clan members, may it be friend of foe, all will be affected, except the individual clan member. The range differs from how well the clan member can extend the reach of their controlled chakra. In short clan members can cause frame rate of senses, sequence rate, as well as nonexisting sensations to come into place, in a state of confusion to anyone near them. This is passive, but is a extremely difficult thing to use and master to the users advantage, often times it's the only type of jutsu they can actually use, beyond a dozen or so other jutsu and a specific fighting style, they are also limited to one type of element as well if following along in this jutsu path.

The clan members have approximately only 85% the usual stamina a normal shinobi would have, thus getting tired easily. This doesn't make them weak or anything, just that using other jutsu's rather their passive Kekkei Genkai for extended periods will tire them out quick, they aren't endurance based really unless solely relying on their Kekkei Genkai, in those cases they can last quite a while, in conjunction to a type of taijutsu, kenjutsu, or weaponry type fighting style, thus most clan members with the Kekkei Genkai become skilled masters of the Returning Photograph style in Ninjutsu, conjoining it with a fighting style using somewhat less and a more passive form of chakra. This mirage method of fighting isn't something that can be dispelled like Genjutsu, as it isn't, if anything it's having to directly pertaining to the mind itself, not only is it the actual electrical scientific method that performs this, but the psyche and chakra, somewhat how the famed Konoha Yamanaka clan is capable of transferring their mind, although of course being entirely different from the clan itself. Though the fact of the clans creation isn't all scientific and has many genetic and chakra related aspects, thus the reason for the limiting factors and specific leaking of the chakra.

With recent events within the clan itself, genetic mutations with the newer generation of shinobi within the past three decades have occurred, this is actually a intentional thing done by the clan of previous generations and is most likely the reason for the ultimate downfall of the clan itself. Thus almost all clan members, including those without the original initial Kekkei Genkai are affected. Such negative effects in all clan members are varied, but there are three most common. The first is known as Elemental Waltz, although is called by the respective users main element (Katon Waltz, Raiton Waltz, etc). The second of the three is known as Tribulation of Pain, like the first is called by the respective main element (Tribulation of Katon, Tribulation of Suiton, etc). The third is known as Fragile Medley, and respectively fitting the the element (Katon Medley, Doton Medley, etc).

The first is going along the lines of inability to using chakra to go walk on surfaces such as water, or along the side of a tree, but the user gains a unstable elemental affinity to their every step, as they keep in contact with the ground, or even in mid-air while jumping, their said main elemental nature will react to the environment, in some unfortunate cases it even goes to all forms of physical contact causing such effects. An example would be for a fire elemental oriented clan member, as they step a quick flaming burst will erupt around the area of ground impact, not directly under, but around, thus not propelling them with every step, but indeed catching fire to the ground they step upon, quite unfortunate indeed. For raiton oriented members, electricity would cackle around, suiton, water would splash, doton, the ground would shatter or rumble around them, and a Fuuton a small gust of wind. This is a passive, uncontrollable ability and is constantly active, similar to how the original Kekkei Genkai itself was passive, thus members have a constant leak of chakra, although it is minor, it requires good control. Member with both the original ability and the mutations do not end up suffering from greater chakra leakage, but instead simultaneously use the original chakra flow for both.

Another common negative effect in the clan that can replace the one before is the inability to release from Genjutsu through the use of Kai, of course clan members are capable of escaping Genjutsu through other means though, but it is quite the unfortunate disadvantage. Instead of kai though, the members are given the ability to elementally affiliate their chakra stream, thus causing them to send a charge of energy through their body, which ends up quite painful, as so their body is actually charged with the elemental energy, causing them some pain. They do not control when this change occurs, and it randomly occurs, just in their daily life. An example of a raiton natured member with this disorder would suffer from a electrical shock like pain every once in a while, an example of a katon natured member would feel a painful burning sensation, a doton a sharp piercing pain, a suiton a wet, shockingly chilling, like feeling, and a Fuuton a strong burst of pain somewhat like being slashed by a blade. This is as said, not controlled, so while doing daily activities, members with this might end up feeling pain randomly and end up on one knee, or while in a mission fall down in pain, it's only a short quick jolt though and the member can quickly recover after it, it isn't fatal in any way, but is quite annoying and stressful. It is not ignorable by any means and is quite noticeable by anyone nearby, it's quite a odd sight to see, as the member will often be walking casually, then fall down writhing in pain, then quite quickly get right back up. Members with this disorder actually do not use any passive chakra like the other disorders/the original Kekkei Genkai, and rather than having the usual lower stamina rates have high amounts of stamina and pain tolerance to other sorts of injuries, they also usually have stronger bodies and can move at greater speeds, as well as larger chakra reserves.

A third possible disorder of the clan, would be the lack of full controlled elemental chakra manifestation. One effect of this is in where the user is unable to fully place their chakra into chakra conductive weapons/etc, thus when using the weapon it has a more raw effect, rather than imbuing one's chakra in the absorbent item, it unstably gathers the said element toward the weapon, somewhat like it's half controlled. This doesn't happen at the wielders will though, but just at contact with chakra absorbent material, the user will fortunately not be directly affected by the elemental energy concentrating, such as a flame forming upon their weapon, or electricity cackling around it, but the weapon itself is fully liable to damage and even being destroyed, as well as being a conductor to indirectly damaging the user. So for example if a Katon elemented member were to touch a chakra blade, the blade would be covered in flames rather the usual chakra glow of the weapon, but in exchange the weapon would be heating up, and would soon become searing hot to the touch, causing difficulty in wielding such chakra weapons. For Raiton, the user would have electricity cackling around the weapon, but would be suffering from electrical shock through conduction in the metal. For Suiton the user would have a watery blade, capable of morphing and fluidly moving to the users will, but the users hand would be numb and incapable of forming handsigns afterward for a while. For Doton the user would have a powerful weapon capable of shattering earth, but would be fatigued quite quickly. For Fuuton the user would have slashes of wind at their disposal, but would be slashing their arm with said wind as they use such slashes. The user will also have unstable elemental jutsu, often having them go on more wild than usual, less controlled and more unpredictable. This style only uses passive chakra when in contact with said absorbent material, beyond that though it has no chakra use, for those with the original Kekkei Genkai, it manifests using the pre-existing leaking chakra and doesn't require extra chakra to come into use.

Clan History:

The Clan was founded in Sunakagure many years ago, not exactly as one of it's founding clans though, but as one of the later ones to arrive, immigrated from a smaller village. The clan was and still is a small clan, having been originated from a small group and only transferring genetically in men, but oddly enough only being a usable Kekkei Genkai in woman. So the father of the potential member had to be the father with the genes transferable, and the ones with the gene showing would have to be a daughter. So the only members of the clan capable of using the Kekkei Genkai would be the women, but the ones having the genes available for transfer at conception are the men. So thus tracing the gene itself within the clan was a very difficult task, as it would not appear until a female member obtained the ability, even so then it would be known that the member wouldn't be capable of spreading the line, so either another son would be needed in the immediate family to continue on the line. The Kekkei Genkai came into existence through scientific engineering and experimenting, but also through genetics and the actual chakra of the clan members, many other factors came into place as well, but such information is long forgotten, as most archival data within the clan has long been lost through immigration.

It began in a small village, before it was even a clan, it stayed small and eventually the group moved to several other villages all over the regional areas, going to several countries infact, but eventually the clan itself settled in a larger village for better protection, this village being Sunakagure, it was then where actual major documentation began, although even so, not all to major, but the most recorded of anywhere. It was there where they stood stable, actual got permanent homes, and housed their clan Headquarters. Not much happened in Kokorooboe clan history though unfortunately, as least that's known within the archives. They kept quiet, and to themselves while in Suna, being stuck with small time jobs, or becoming not well known shinobi, only recently have they tried to strive. Attempting to get into high positions, although the numbers are relatively low and growth of the Kekkei Genkai is but difficult to follow along, in fact it's a growing clan, minuscule in relativity increasing in number. Members without the Kekkei Genkai are quite common, only a few of the noble lines within the family actually have the ability somewhat trace, even so though, not many have it even within the noted. Those who end up born with the Kekkei Genkai are trained to get into high positions such as possibly reaching for Kazekage, or as a ANBU member, or other well respected position. Thus they are trained extensively and made to fit what is required for such a status.

The clan although not having all the archival data explaining things within the members, has things other than the Kekkei Genkai itself, each individual member builds upon their own method and style of using the ability, as with limited resources and limited members with the ability, no formal method of use is in conduct. The clan members thus never really created a exact method of using the Kekkei Genkai and it differs for each generation and the specific individual member. The social order was created just as any other clan, as they got money they built a place for clan members to live, with private gyms, pools, and the usual things. Thus being separated within the clan itself upon money status, but also upon social status within the sand in recent years. The clan apparently long ago made pacts altering the genes for the clan and the abilities of the Kekkei Genkai, and most recently such has been seen in recent members of the generation born with the ability, and even those born without the original ability. The dealings with demonic spirits and such has thus altered the clan somewhat, and the total structure itself. The clan has recently fallen into disrepair and the financial amounts of the clan are quite low, the only thing really keeping the clan from falling into utter chaos would be the extremely slow, even considered irrelevantly minor growth, and the few clan members who have been capable of getting themselves into the major locations of Suna government, or high within the shinobi ranks.

As of present day, the clan is poor, and is all but gone, the actual clan grounds are in ruins, only drunkards living there, or any homeless of Sunakagure live there now. The common clan members are scattered throughout Sunakagure looking for jobs, or having minor positions in Suna, possibly in the shinobi forces. The clan members who had been well trained and eventually ended up with high positions are in those positions working harder than ever to possibly repair their family name. The clan still meets kind of like a distant family, upon holidays they gather around the richest of the clan members, celebrating at their home, even not on holidays these gatherings occur, often to mooch off that particular individual. The clan currently has a bad reputation, save for those specific individuals who have status.
