When the comforts of civilization begin to dull our senses, we must never forget that in the beginning, there was war. And war. And more war. Long before there were empires, there were humans consumed with greed and the hunger for power. Resources, territories, information—these were the forms of sustenance upon which we preyed. Today, we call such habits vices. Oh, how arrogant we have become! Are we not still impelled by those primordial emotions? Is the advent of war so far-fetched? But alas, for you to truly understand, we must dive deeper into this land’s half-forgotten past.
There was a time when might was the only law that humankind knew. Fearsome clans roamed throughout the land, seeking amenable grounds within which they could take root and opposing forces against whom they could test their mettle. Given the irregularity of nature’s bounty, certain regions appealed more than others, and dominion over such coveted territories became the spark that ignited the earliest inter-clan wars. These fierce, internecine affairs tended to conclude only when one side had decimated their competition into oblivion, and many clans of story were rendered extinct during this period.
The victors of war, having claimed their territories, often made truces with surrounding locals, offering protection in exchange for access to the yields of agriculture. Over time, certain communities emerged as more dominant than others, either due to numbers or sheer talent, and their rapid expansion would force smaller, neighboring communities to either collapse into their fold or be devastated. When the dust settled, humankind found itself divided into the five major territories that we are familiar with today. And was the bloodshed over? With our lands obtained and our bellies filled, were we finally content?

he Yamanaka clan is a clan infamous for specializing in mind related techniques that can result in their victim's entire bodies falling under their control. The members of this clan specialize in mind-centered techniques which makes them experts at intelligence gathering and espionage. They are also known to have displayed keen sensory abilities and their techniques include transferring consciousness, reading minds and communicating telepathically. Overall, members of this clan are strong allies and excellent for support.[break][break]
The Yamanaka clan has a special relationship with the Akimichi and Nara clan, and is yet another secret clan with ties to Konohagakure, though after the war, no longer exclusively so. Regardless, for generations members of these three families have formed a trio named after the first part of the names of the members. To strengthen the unity between the three clans, a member of the Sarutobi clan will give them special earrings to present to each generation head when they are promoted to Chūnin after which they will swear their oaths. The earrings also symbolize that they are considered adults by their respective clans.[break][break]
Special Trait: Kanchi Denden (Sensing Transmission)[break] At a cost of x1 Mid per use, Yamanaka Clan members are able to transmit all of the information they're sensing directly to their intended target (including pain).[break][break]
As a multipurpose technique it's function depend on the wielder's own savvy. This ability can only be used via hand and can also be used in tandem with sensing-based ninjutsu, effectively granting the recipient of the information a form of pseudo-sensing, so long as the Yamanaka maintains contact.[break][break]
Restrictions:[break] 1. The Yamanaka clan is a Ninjutsu Prime clan[break]
Tier One - Mind over Matter: The Yamanaka clan member no longer needs to close their eyes to perform any of their techniques, allowing them to better direct their techniques. Along with this, the training of their mind allows them to move marginally faster while outside of their bodies (roughly a Lvl 1.5 Speed).[break] [break] Tier Two - Zen: Reaching a higher level of focus and calm, the Yamanaka clan member can possess up to a total of three bodies simultaneously (this includes corpses). The possessed bodies share a linked mind, allowing the Yamanaka to properly coordinate and strategically plan (due to the possessed sharing the same vision).[break][break]
Tier Three - Enlightenment of the Mind: Becoming a master of the mind, the user can now better differentiate themselves from the occupied body. Because of this, they can inflict a rather serious amount of damage to the hijacked body without the fear of injuring their own body in the process (i.e severe maiming, such as breaking an leg or arm, deep wounds [no more than three inches], gouging out one's eyes, et cetera).[break][break]
This mastery cannot be used if the Tier Two mastery (Zen) is in play, due namely to the strain of controlling two bodies simultaneously.[break][break]
Senkenshakon (Soul Seer)[break] Rank: C[break] Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+)[break] Type: Supplementary[break] Handseals: 1[break] Chakra Consumption: 1x Mid Activation, 2x Low Upkeep [break] With their excellent mental-based techniques, the Yamanaka clan has become exceptionally sensitive to chakra emissions given off people every individual. Through these, they have learned to develop a cousin-technique of the Kagura Shingan. While not as powerful, this technique functions in the same manner of its kin; it allows the user to recognize and acknowledge the signatures of those around them, even if they’re invisible to the naked eye.[break][break]
Note: The maximum distance the user may track a target’s chakra signature is twenty-five [25] meters from their body.[break][break]
Shitenshin no Jutsu (Mind Body Switch Technique)[break] Rank: C[break] Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)[break] Type: Supplementary[break] Handseals: 3[break] Chakra Consumption:1x Mid [break] Shitenshin no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu utilized by the Yamanaka clan. After performing the necessary hand seals, the user will project their spirit into the body of their opponent. This can be used on both animals and humans. Unfortunately, the spirit travels in a straight line at slow speed , meaning if it is avoided, their body will be left lifeless for several minutes (1 turn). During this, the target still remains in their mind, but their mental processes are forced to the side.[break][break]
Note: While it is theoretically possible to "mentally overpower" the intruder, there is no adequate measurement for such a quality. As a result, if caught in the jutsu, you're caught. The ability duration is 2 rounds. That is, to the end of the caster's turn two turns later. However, this technique can be broken with a sudden burst of chakra (Eight Gates & Tailed Beasts).[break][break]
Shinranshin no Jutsu (Mind Derangement Technique)[break] Rank: B[break] Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)[break] Type: Supplementary[break] Handseals: 4[break] Chakra Consumption: 2x Mid, 1x Mid Upkeep [break] Shinranshin no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu utilized by the Yamanaka clan.

After using Shintenshin no Jutsu and performing the extra hand seal necessary for this technique, the user will split their mental energy, allowing them to capture more than one target (a maximum of two). Unlike its predecessor, their spirit does not have to travel in a straight line, but it can only turn at a 90° angle. All damage done to the victim is transferred to the user, but can be avoided by releasing the technique before it happens.[break][break]
Note: Can only effect those within five meters of distance, and the bodies are only controlled for two turns before they are relinquished from control. This technique can be broken with a sudden burst of chakra (Eight Gates & Tailed Beasts).[break][break]
Shishinsui no Jutsu (Mind Diving Speech Technique)[break] Rank: A[break] Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+)[break] Type: Supplementary[break] Handseals: 5[break] Chakra Consumption: 1x Mid (per Target), 2x Low Upkeep[break] Shishinsui no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu utilized by the Yamanaka clan. After performing the necessary hand seals and holding the last seal, the user is able to telepathically communicate with people within their range.

Reika no Jutsu (Spirit Transformation Technique)[break] Rank: S[break] Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+)[break] Type: Supplementary[break] Handseals: 3[break] Chakra Consumption: 2x High, 2x Mid Upkeep[break] Reika no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu utilized by the Yamanaka clan. After performing the necessary hand seals, the user will materialize their spirit, leaving their body lifeless to take possession of a target. Once this is done, they are able to manipulate their opponent. Because their entire spirit is transferred, they can freely control where they move. Their spirit is capable of achieving flight (at x2 speed of a normal shinobi) and restoring chakra (up to 1 High worth of chakra). Individuals capable of absorbing chakra can nullify this technique, killing the user. The only other method of defeating it is through use of Shishienjin. Aside from that, the user is impervious to most physical strikes due to their incorporeal form.[break][break]

After performing the necessary hand seals, the user will transfer their mind into an inanimate object. Their body is left defenseless, but they are able to move themselves around as what they took control of (by means of levitation). If their enemy hits them while they are in this form, their spirits will be immediately switched, placing the spirit of the victim in the inanimate object and the spirit of the user inside the body of the victim. Because it is a curse seal, the victim is unable to manipulate their new body. All damage done to the victim is transferred to the user, but can be avoided by releasing the technique before it happens.[break][break]
Note: This technique can be broken with a sudden burst of chakra (Eight Gates & Tailed Beasts).[break][break]
