Name: Yamashina
Place of Origin: Hoshigakure
Current Location: Hoshigakure & Kumogakure
Kekkei Genkai: Eizou no Ichi Kotsuzui (Reflection of One’s True Spirit)
Description: This is an extremely rare and powerful bloodline. This bloodline allows it’s bearers to duplicate the elemental affinity of their opponents, and utilize it themselves. It is possible to perform this ability on it’s own. However, the results could be catastrophic for the user, tearing apart their chakra highway, as well as parts of their mind. Fortunately, the founders of the clan created catalysts to ensure no damage of that sort would befall any of the members. These catalysts are found in the form of paper talismans. These talismans are latched on to the opponent, and can then absorb their chakra element. This can take anywhere from a few seconds to half an hour, depending on the skill of the user. Once complete, the talismans are removed, only to then be used by the bloodline wielder. The user can then place these talismans onto their body. The talismans then take root, sealing themselves into the user. This allows the user to then wield another element. This then leads into the combination of elements for a wide spectrum of attacks, especially if more than one talisman is placed on the body. However, the body can only take so many, before the clash of elements begins to eat away at the user from the inside out.
History: This clan was originally formed in the very small village of Hoshigakure. They originated as a small clan of alchemists, known for creating a wide spectrum of bizarre serums and weapons that were often banned. Their work quickly became taboo in the village, forcing the clan to do their work in secret.
One clan member in particular was trying to find a way to incorporate the classic elements into one all powerful substance. While this was never truly achieved, the woman did manage to discover a very unique and powerful ability hidden within her. She was able to duplicate the chakra elements of other people, and use them herself. However, there was an issue. If this ability was performed by itself, the user suffered severe damage to their minds and internal organs. As a result, she created a catalyst, capable of nullifying any potential damage that might occur upon the user in using the technique. As she continued her work, she documented everything. This allowed for the future generations of the clan to be able to harness the secret ability.
Unfortunately, a small war broke out between Hoshigakure and the other small but growing village of Takigakure. In the battle, nearly all of the clan was destroyed, save a single family. Since then, the clan has slowly regained its stature, though still remaining very small. There are a very small number of members, but the ones that are alive, have all either mastered, or are learning the family technique, in hopes of gaining more power.
