Zetsumei Clan

History

The Zetsumei Clan is a small clan of ninja in Kirigakure no Sato with humble beginnings as farmers and fishermen. They lived in Mizu no Kunifs main port town in the feudal era, and were masters in medicines and antidotes. During the formation of the hidden villages, Mizu no Kuni went through many small wars, and a ruthless band of assassins were growing in number around the country. The Zetsumei, known for their apothecary and potent antidotes, were soon grecruitedh into the ranks of the assassins. This group, under the leadership of the man who would be known as the Shodai Mizukage, soon started Mizikagure no Sato with the Zetsumei as one of the first clans recruited.

Over the years, the Zetsumei developed many of the poisons used in Kirigakure no Sato, as well as Mizu no Kuni. They were also looked to for their medical innovations and antidotes.

Hierarchy

Ryoushuu (Leader): Zetsumei Kiyomori

Shogun (S.I.C.): Zetsumei Takakura


The clan is lead by the Head Family, and works much like a monarchy, having the leadership passed on to the heir of the leader. Kiyomori-sama's family is the main family, along with his brother Takakura's family. The heir is chosen from this line. As of now, Kiyomori's successor is Zetsumei Kounin.

Dokuton | Poison Release | 毒遁

This is a unique ability that has developed within the Zetsumei Clan of Kirigakure no Sato. It came about due to their expertise in the field of poison making. By creating a hand seal [ dragon ] a Zetsumei can change the properties of their chakra, giving it a poisonous attribute.

Doing so, of course, requires chakra and concentration. The amount of chakra spent to convert affects how potent the chakra becomes. Once their chakra has been converted into poison it can be manipulated and used in any fashion that the Zetsumei sees fit.

The poison chakra is only truly useful, as all poisons, when it enters into the victims body. Unlike most poisons this does not cause direct harm to the body, but the chakra. Once it infect the victims chakra circulatory system it will rapidly spread, eventually spreading throughout the entire body causing damage to the muscles and organs it passes through. Ultimately, the victim will die. Molding chakra while one's chakra has been poisoned will only accelerate their deaths.

In order for a clan member to be able to use dokuton, however, they must have the ability to use Doton and Suiton on a molecular level, meaning most ninja below chuunin cannot even use the most basic of Zetsumei techniques unless they have above excellent chakra control. The reason for this is, in order to make the chakra poison, they must be able to create it from natural toxins -- which are created in small amounts -- in living cells, organisms, or minerals and absorb them into their own chakra channels and make their chakra poison.

Summoning | Komodo Dragons

When Zetsumei are deemed worthy (usually be being promoted to chunin), they are allowed to sign a contract with the animal most sacred to the Zetsumei Clan, the Komodo Dragon.

The Komodo Dragon is higly venomous, and create a bacteria in their mouths that infects whatever they bite. The venom causes rapid swelling within minutes, localised disruption of blood clotting, shooting pain up to to the elbow, with some symptoms lasting for several hours. The bacteria, causes septicemia in their victim; if an initial bite does not kill the prey and it escapes, it will commonly succumb within a week to the resulting infection. Because the Komodo dragon appears immune to its own microbes, the Zetsumei have been able to create an antidote as well as an antivenom to the Komodo's bite, preventing any death from accidental biting.

There are several incarnations of the Komodo dragon, some are tiny, some are average size, but the largest and most deadly is Yù Huáng [玉皇], or The Jade Emperor. Yù Huáng can only be summoned by the most advanced ninja, and officially can only be summoned by Zetsumei Kiyomori and his brother, Takakura. Summoning of the Jade Emperor is a Kage level task, and could mean death for anyone who is not powerful enough to do so.
