The Senju Clan

Clan Name: The Senju Clan
Bloodline Name: The Will of Fire
Village(s)/Country(ies) Of Origin: Fire Country, Hidden Leaf Village.



Clan History: The Senju clan is descended from the younger of the two sons of the Sage of the Six Paths. He was born with the "body" of the Sage, inheriting his father's strength of will and physical energy. The Sage's younger son believed that love was the key to bringing peace to the world. The Sage grew to favour the ideals of his younger son over those of his older son, who believed that power alone was the true key to finding peace. Therefore, on his deathbed it was the younger of the two brothers that the Sage chose to name as his successor. The elder brother, bitter and hateful at having being denied what he felt was rightfully his to inherit, attacked his younger sibling. The Uchiha clan would descend from the elder brother, resulting in the bitter centuries-long rivalry between the Senju and the Uchiha.

The Senju clan gained their fame in the era before the founding of the hidden villages. Where other clans focused on mastering one particular skill, the Senju were masters in all skills, from ninjutsu, to taijutsu, to genjutsu. Because of this, they were feared as "the clan with a thousand skills", which gave them their name Senju.

The most famous member of the clan was their leader, Hashirama Senju. His unique Wood Release ninjutsu even gave the clan the nickname the Senju clan of the Forest (森の千手一族, Mori no Senju Ichizoku). This Wood Release, and his ability to control the tailed beasts, made him the greatest shinobi of his time.

The Senjus' place at the top of the shinobi world was undisputed, but there was one clan that was able to stand up to them: the Uchiha clan. Whenever one country hired the Senju, their enemies would hire the Uchiha, and vice versa. This led to a rivalry between the two clans and, more specifically, between the leaders of the clans, Hashirama and Madara Uchiha.

However, in a world of constant bloodshed, Hashirama had a dream of peace, and a great love for his fellow men. Known as the "Will of Fire", this belief made the Senju clan propose a truce to the Uchiha clan. Weary of fighting, and persuaded by Hashirama's great charisma and negotiation skill, the Uchiha accepted, ending their bloody rivalry. Only Madara was against this truce, believing the Senju would one day destroy the Uchiha clan. He was forced to accept, but his humiliation wouldn't end there.

Some time after the alliance between the Senju and the Uchiha was signed, the Land of Fire hired them to stabilize its borders, and the clans created a permanent settlement within the country. Thus, Konohagakure was founded, and, with it, the system of one Hidden Village per country. As the system spread throughout the world, the constant violence stopped, and Hashirama's dream began to become a reality. But it would soon start anew after Hashirama was elected as the First Hokage; a move Madara felt was a humiliation, and made him decide to leave the new village, eventually returning to attack it.



Bloodline Talents:

Name: The Will of Fire
Requirements: Taken at Creation
Cost: 0 Experience Expenditure
Description: A way of life that has developed very far into the abilities of the Senju Shinobi. With this talent, the Senjus chakra stream is turned into a source of life, making them extremely effective when using Ijutsu. They gain the ability to heal via using ninjutsu. While this doesn't allow them to learn Ijutsu as if they were Ninjutsu, they can cause a ninjutsu that would normally cause destruction on a human body to instead have a healing effect equal to the amount of damage it would cause. This cannot be used if the shinobi doesn't have the require style points in Ijutsu equivalent to what is required of their Ninjutsu points. For example, if the user wants to turn an A-Ranked Ninjutsu into a healing technique, they must have 2 style points in Ijutsu as well as the additional Ninjutsu required to form the base technique. Additionally, Ijutsu count as if they are one rank higher for the purpose of healing. They also have a chakra pool that is abnormally large, granting them 50% more chakra than the average shinobi.
