Batista Clan

Batista Clan:

History:
The Batista clan was created and named in the image of their founder Batista Kittu. Batista Kittu was a medical nin prodigy, who grew to infamy during the founding of Kohoha. He was the original Orochimaru of the 1st’s generation, a specialist in fuuinjutsu and medical ninjutsu. During his rein as the most coveted medical nin of his time and perhaps all time, he became obsessed with discovering the true nature of the universe. He considered ninjutsu to be mankind’s fundamental guide to achieving this goal. He developed ninjutsu theory to a fine degree. He was one of the first known S-class criminals due to his habit of experimenting on unfortunates, vagrants, and anyone who wouldn’t be missed in the populace at large. As he passed his midlife he realized that he would not complete his goal in his allotted time. While he knew there were methods that could extend his life he knew they could not do so indefinitely. Even if he somehow became immortal, he could still be killed and so his accumulated knowledge would still pass from our world into the next. His solution was a unique one. Being a notorious womanizer, he’d fathered many such children, 99 of them by some estimates. He decided that if he could store all information that he’d ever learned and record everything he’d bore witness to he could leave it to his children. Those children could pass on this knowledge. Every generation would retain a perfect copy of all knowledge of the previous generations. Eventually his descendants would know everything there was to know about the universe. He ruthlessly experimented on both himself and his children. He discovered a way to restructure the human eye. He was able to change to retina’s composition to resemble the internal makeup of an frozen smoke. Using his own family kekkei genkai to generate toton chakra, he was able to combine the new structure of his eye and create a method of sealing unique only to himself. From his unique sealing abilities he developed a style of fighting similar to Ten Ten yet utilizing the incredible abilities of the shinjingan coupled with various forms of ninjutsu. He also used his medical ninjutsu to develop a method of sealing the DNA molecule itself, allowing him to directly modify the genetic traits he passed to his children. The power of the shinjingan became a bloodline that could be passed down through his children. Unfortunately for Batista, his cruelty did not engender good will amongst his children. After reaching adulthood, his eldest children gathered together and mutinied against their clan leader. Batista’s fate is unknown to outsiders of the clan. Some say after he was killed his body was sealed inside the shinjingan and still exists perfectly preserved somewhere in the clan today. Others say that instead of killing him his own children sealed him within an infinite and hellish genjutsu to torture him as they were cruelly used for all time.

Clan's Secret Techniques or Bloodline traits: Members of the Batista clan have the bloodline ability to use their doujutsu to generate toton chakra and project it out of their eyes to create photorealistic illusions indistinguishable from reality only by touch anywhere within visual range. The mirages they create are similar to genjutsu, but do not harm or paralyze the target and cannot be broken like regular genjutsu. The opponent is never physically affected. These illusions are external projections that have more in common with the bushin and the henge techniques learned in the ninja academy, but can be instantly projected anywhere the eye can see and encompass whole buildings. Lifelike phantoms right down to virtual chakra networks created in the heat of battle or during reconnaissance can be used for foolproof misdirection and camouflage. Illusions cast with this kekkei genkai can fool even the byakugan similar to Ranmaru‘s doujutsu. A genin can create lifelike mirages anywhere in the field of vision. However, the volume of space the mirage takes up is limited to approximately 10 cubic meters. This can be one large illusion or multiple smaller illusions filling the same accumulative amount of space. Once cast these illusions will persist independently for 5 posts until: the chakra they were created with is spent, the users remaining chakra is depleted, the user is rendered unconscious, or the user is killed. The total volume occupied by the mirages and their maximum duration will double with every increase in rank.

Batista used medical ninjutsu and fuuinjutsu to alter the small scale structure of his retinas, specifically its rods and cones, to resemble the structure of a certain organic substance, often referred to as frozen smoke, that has an internal makeup with extremely high surface area. One gram of frozen smoke can easily hold a surface area equal to the entire stadium used to host the chuunin exams. The retina of the normal human eye possesses a surface area of 43 inches square. The rods and cones of one eye of the shinjingan possess the surface area of 1 acre or 44,000 square feet. The lens of the shinjingan has also been altered so that any light that passes through becomes encoded and written on the retinas as seals. In other words, a photorealistic image of anything the eye witnesses is sealed on the all but limitless surfaces of the shinjingan retina as simple symbols. Every waking second of the shinjingan users visible life is recorded and perfectly preserved in his eyes. A clansman can also playback a mirage of anything he has seen in his mind or project such a mirage visible to others. He can do this simply by recalling it as he would any memory, while focusing a small amount of chakra to his eyes. Because of his doujutsu a clansmen has total recall.

This is nothing like the sharingan’s jutsu copying ability. This feature of the shinjingan offers the user not much more than would a portable high definition video camera similar to the closed circuit television cameras used to monitor combatants during the chuunin exams. The only difference in capability is their almost limitless storage capacity and both external and internal 3D playback capabilities. Without the photographic reflexes afforded to sharingan users one cannot simply copy jutsu with the shinjingan. However, given it’s playback abilities a shinjingan user has the ability to study what it witnesses later in infinite detail more easily with more flexibility than rewinding and reviewing a video tape. As the members of the Batista clan specialize in combat fuuinjutsu and illusion casting, their eye’s photographic memory gives them an extensive library of sealing jutsu. Their experts can study any seal they’ve ever witnessed at any time of their leisure for as long as it takes to understand the seal’s inner workings and replicate them, similar to how master sealer Jiraiya studied the 4th‘s Shiki Fuujin and Orochimaru‘s Gogyō Fūin to decipher their secrets.

Since the total retinal surface area of the shinjingan is 88,000 square feet, greater than all the books and scrolls in Konoha’s public library, the primary capability of the shinjingan allows it to seal anything that can be sealed in a scroll directly in the retinas as if they were scrolls. First the shinjingan projects a full-scale visual representation of the necessary seal somewhere in the visual field, makes a hand seal and summons the chakra appropriate to the object being sealed. The target is absorbed into the mirage as it would be if sealed in a scroll, then the illusion of the seal is reabsorbed into the eye. The target exists from that point as a symbol written on the retinas of the shinjingan.

In order to unseal these objects the image of the matching unseal mark must be projected anywhere in the visual field as the necessary hand signs performed and chakra summoned for the intended unsealing jutsu. When in combat the unsealing and attack are simultaneous actions. This technique is known as battokiri after the technique of quickly drawing a sword and attacking in the same motion. Weapons, supplies, deadly objects and substances, and even living entities can be sealed within the shinjingan, though this is an extraordinarily complex process to be performed by a jounin or kage level holder of the shinjingan. When working with live summons, lower level clansmen utilize summoning seals by marking a summons with a seal corresponding to a seal written with their shinjingan. They can then summon and control a creature with during combat. The shinjingan is a method of sealing only as powerful as it's user. In order to successfully seal any object with the shinjingan, the user must posses the chakra capacity and skill set to seal that same object with conventional fuuinjutsu. Furthermore, the user must have developed the necessary degree of facility with the techniques specific this doujutsu: gathering toton chakra in the eyes, executing encoded hand signs, projecting sealing mirages, burning seals, and battokiri, the simultaneous projection/activation of unsealing marks or summoning seals and the coordination of associated attacks.

The difficulty of sealing objects with the shinjingan directly correlates with the object's complexity. Information: Storing information is the primary goal that led to it's creation. Storing any and all types of information is effortless with the shinjingan.

Inanimate Objects: Motionless objects are easily sealed with the shinjingan. This is the first level of combat fuuinjutsu used by shinjingan clansmen. This method of sealing objects and fighting is very similar to the way Ten Ten fights. However, this clan also combines these methods with paper manipulation and origami techniques similar to Konans. If it is sealed immediately, a dead body is considered an inanimate object. This technique is often used to preserve corpses. Dead bodies undergoing an advanced state of decay have to be sealed as animate objects. Genin can usually seal most kinds of inanimate objects.

Animate Objects: Animate objects can also be sealed along with their defining physical characteristics. This means that objects in motion and undergoing change can be sealed along with their changing attributes. A fire can be sealed or the water rushing through a river or molten lava. Clansmen use this technique in combat to attack with flowing water or blazing fire. Even lightning from thunderstorm can be captured and sealed under the appropriate circumstances though this is not an easy task. Chuunin are just starting to become adept at this kind of sealing.

Golems: Non-living animated avatars which can act autonomously are referred to as Golems. They are a subclass of animate objects as they have no life processes or intelligence of their own. They can be imbued with animal like instincts or directly controlled with a shinjingan seal. Golems are often used instead of summoning living creatures as they are easily sealed as animate objects with less chakra than summoning techniques. Golems are most often constructed out of chakra metal or other chakra resonant material. Chuunin are capable of creating, sealing, releasing, and utilizing golems.

Spiritual Entities: Demons, ghosts, and other spiritual entities can be sealed. However, only a small number of these entities can be sealed as it is inordinately stressful on the system. Jounin and beyond are qualified for this type of sealing.

Living Creatures: Non-sapient animals can be sealed, however, this is an extraordinarily stressful and difficult process. Even when attempted by experienced ninja can result in injury and death. For this reason living organisms are usually summoned and controlled rather than sealed. Animals and other creatures can be marked with a summoning tattoo. This tattoo serves to both call forth a creature and control it for the duration of use. Unlike blood contracts the summoned entity acts solely under the control of the user. Chuunin can and do use summoning seals. Only high jounin and above dabble in sealing living creatures.

Sapient Organisms: Thinking creatures with living physical forms are almost impossible to seal in this manner. Although, it is rumored that a person can be placed in a state of suspended animation and sealed or that the soul can be stripped from the body and the two sealed separately in the manner of spiritual entities and inanimate objects. However, any such suspending and stripping processes remain unknown among the clansmen at the present time. However, sapient creatures can easily be summoned. Sapient creatures are not usually controlled unlike mindless animals. Although, these methods exists, they are considered heinous and are forbidden by clan leaders. Sapient creatures are therefore summoned with their permission often by way of a contract system similar to the usual. They can also be tagged for summoning. These summoning seals are usually more temporary than blood contracts for limited usage. Chuunin level and above are capable of this kind of summoning with shinjingan seals. There is a special type of creature in this class used by Kage level members of the Batista clan. Human beings and sapient animals can be killed, part of their body kept alive so they may be turned into golems, similar to the human puppets used by Sasori, and then sealed. The golem will have no personality of its own, but a portion of the user's spiritual energy is sealed within the golems brain. The golem will think and act on it's own, using the chakra and jutsu of the original body's owner. The only known living user of this jutsu is the current leader (NPC) of the Batista Clan.

Clan Information:- Population- Today the Batista clan are thriving. Over the years since their creation and rebellion against Battista Kittu, their clan has grown to a Class C clan, having around 400 members. The bloodline is passed down through either parent, but is strongest in clan members who received the dominant gene from both parents. Members of this clan tend to have many different skin tones, hair, and eye color due to being descendants of Batista Kittu’s devout womanizing.

Profession- Members of the Batista clan are medical specialists and sealing experts. They often farm out their incredible sealing abilities and sealed products for fair exchange. They manufacture everything from paper bombs to medical seals which can be used in place of a medical nin for minor injuries. They also lease out their talents as record keepers and couriers of sensitive and top secret information.
