YAJUU CLAN
Founder: Yajuu Rina.
Location: Scattered.
History of Clan: Legend states that three brothers, Yasei, Itazura, and Kichi, were born out of the blood from an eight-headed snake-dragon, Yamata no Orochi, which was slain by the god Susanoo. The three brothers each had a special ability to transform into a spirit animal. Yasei was able to transform into a snake; Itazura was able to transform into a fox; and Kichi was able to transform into a wolf. The three brothers were feared by many because of their strange powers, and were commonly called the Yajuu Brothers (yajuu literally translates to beast, monster, or wild animal), so they were exiled to the human world. Once in the human world, they married and had children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren who all possessed the same abilities as they did. The brothers then decided to formally name their family as Yajuu, the same name the gods had given them, to show that they had been successful in the human world. Thus the Yajuu Clan was formed.
The formal clan resides in the peninsula between the Hidden Villages of Leaf, Waterfall, and Sound; they have no direct affiliation with any Hidden Village. Because of their location and neutrality, they have often been hired as mercenaries during times of war and also as assassins. However, many Yajuu Clan members now reside in ninja villages.
Special Tecniques: Each member of the Yajuu clan has a yajuu, or beast, inside of them. The beast has its own 'special chakra.' This chakra is unique and only found within the Yajuu clan. The beast is able to physically manifest when the user comes of age, usually in a life-threatening situation (the actual age doesn't matter). The beast's physical form transforms the user into some type of animal (most commonly canine or feline). Since it is not a jutsu, the transformation does not require any hand signs. After the user transforms for the first time, they can shift in and out of their animal form at will and can also partially transform.
The only way to tell that a person is a Yajuu, other than seeing them transform, is by their eyes. The Yajuu have very distinct and memorable eyes. Their iris's are vibrantly colored and shine when a source of light hits them at the right angle.
Koutai - Young children who are learning to transform into their full-beast form use this as a mantra to concentrate. Koutai means 'shift'; saying this makes it easier to shift into their beast-form until they have the transformation mastered. It is not a jutsu.
Seppan Koutai - Young children who are learning to transform into their partial-beast form use this as a mantra to concentrate. Seppan Koutai literally translates to 'half shift'. A Yajuu can transform any part of their body into a part belonging to their sprit animal. Again, it is not a jutsu.
Yajuu Bunshin no Jutsu (Level-D) - Creates a clone of the user's beast.
More techniques may be added in the future.
