Bloodline Name: Byakugan - White Eye
Clan Name: Hyuuga
Leader: Hyuuga Syra
Village: Leaf

Clan Description: The Hyuuga clan is known as the strongest clan of the Hidden Leaf, however, it hadn't always been like that. It was always a rather large clan, but it had only occupied the third place at best, fluctuating slightly as other clans rose and fell. As the two strongest clans - the Uchiha and the Senju - slowly died out, it moved up without fail to take the place of the most powerful clan. Rumors that the Uchiha originally branched off the Hyuuga were spread, along with other similar and larger machinations, and finally, with the Uchiha massacre thirteen years ago, they became without rivals.

There is not much to be said about the Hyuuga clan's history, it's structure, however, is of note. The clan is split in two parts: the branch family and the head family - but the separation is not a very common one. Only the first child of a head family couple gets to inherit the name, the others are marked as branch family, and their children automatically become members of the branch family as well. Because of this, the branch part of the clan is much larger than the head. Every branch family member has a seal engraved in their forehead in early childhood, marking them for the rest of their life, but its real purpose is different. Every head family member is taught a technique that can activate the seal, putting the target branch family member in immense pain and possibly killing them. As if that wasn't enough to create tensions within the clan, the stronger techniques of the Hyuuga are only taught to the head family members.

Clan Traits/Characteristics: The Hyuuga's appearance may differ a lot, but they do have a few common traits. All of them seem to have dark hair, and their skin is usually on the pale side. All clan members also have big pupil-less eyes of a color close to white, with minor differences between different people, that gave the bloodline its name. Branch family members also bear the cross-shaped teal seal on their forehead.

Clan Personality: Varies per member, but because of their powerful bloodline limit, the Hyuuga tend to be more arrogant than most. Some of them also reach extremes in terms of only respecting strength, as far as disowning their own children who have little talent.

Bloodline Description: While the Hyuuga's bloodline is known as Byakugan or White Eye, it actually has another bloodline limit ability - Jyuuken or Gentle Fist, although that name is more commonly used to refer to the clan's specific fighting style based on utilizing this ability. The bloodline is focused on advanced chakra manipulations and using it to attack an enemy directly.

Bloodline Limits:

Name: Byakugan
Requirements: 4-point kinjutsu training; admin permission and 3-point kinjutsu training for mastery
Description: The widely known technique, Byakugan is a doujutsu with an unmatched level of vision. When activated, it allows the user to see in every direction at the same time, with only a small blind spot at some angle above their back. More than that, it allows one to scan wide areas by letting them see through objects and over a distance of up to ten miles. Finally, they can detect chakra even better than the Sharingan, capable of seeing even the chakra circulatory system of living creatures. However, Byakugan does not have the Sharingan's ability to detect and anticipate high-speed movement.
While the Byakugan only has one stage, the level of power between its general level and that which only a few can achieve is vast. Generally, mastering this doujutsu yields all the same powers to a clan member, with only one tiny difference, which creates a large gap in power as a result. This difference is the ability to see tenketsu, special regulatory points in one's chakra circulatory system. By attacking these points with Jyuuken, the Hyuuga can affect the flow of chakra in their opponent's body without limit. With that said, they cannot be attacked without being able to see them, which is the reason why two Hyuugas of the same average skill level can have entirely different combat power.
Name: Jyuuken
Requirements: 3-point kinjutsu training/B rank
Description: Rumored to be the strongest taijutsu style in existence, Gentle Fist is an effective killing technique. Unlike a common taijutsu style, it is not based on speed and strength, but solely speed, which allows its practitioners to have more specialization. The style's blows are weak, but they deal exceptional damage because the style is based on attacking the chakra circulatory system. The Hyuuga are able to release chakra from every opening on their body, unlike normal shinobi, and they can see their enemy's chakra circulatory system, which allows this style to be effectively used. By attacking it, the clan members can deal damage to their opponent's internal organs and disrupt their chakra flow. Since it uses chakra to attack, ordinary defensive measures are rendered useless. Stronger shinobi can make it work even through armor, but it can't be used to damage chakra system at all unless the user's hand connects with the target.
Name: Branch Seal
Requirements: None
Description: A cross-shaped seal that is placed on the forehead of every branch family member of the clan. It serves three basic functions: first, to set the branch family apart from the head family; second, it seals the bloodline in case the person dies; third, a head family member can use a special technique to torture or kill any branch family member if needed.

Clan Jutsus:

Name: Chakra Needles
Type: Ninjutsu
Rank: D
Requirements: None
Description: A basic technique of the Hyuuga clan, it creates small blades of chakra protruding from the user's fingers. While not amazingly powerful, it can cut in any direction like a sharp steel knife, and it can also be used to cut something that is reinforced by chakra and impossible to cut by normal means. However, since the needles are thin and short, it can only create minor wounds even on a fully landed strike.
Name: Chakra Burst
Type: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Requirements: None
Description: A special technique that utilizes the Hyuuga's ability to freely release chakra through any point on their body, something common shinobi are limited in. As by its name, it releases a moderate amount of chakra in a burst all around them. This can protect them from weaker attacks, though mostly of the physical type, but must be timed well in order to have the desired effect without wasting a lot of chakra.
Name: Hakke Kuushou - Eight Divination Signs Air Palm/Hakke Hasangeki - Eight Divination Signs Destructive Mountain Fist
Type: Ninjutsu
Rank: D/B
Requirements: Jyuuken; Branch family: None/4-point kinjutsu training
Description: This technique is extremely simple in its execution, and just as weak. By releasing a bit of chakra from their palm as they attack, the Hyuuga can create a "force wave" that is capable of pushing enemies backwards and works at a long distance as well. However, the damage dealt by this technique itself is practically non-existent, and the knockback can be almost entirely negated by shinobi who manage to stay firmly on the ground.
A stronger variation of this jutsu is Hakke Hasangeki. Unlike Kuushou that creates a spheric wave of about seven feet in diameter, Hasangeki releases a thin strem of about only one foot, but at greater speed. It is also more like a physical strike, and in itself has the damage potential of a heavy punch. Since it has more force, deals actual, although relatively light, damage and affects an area of the body rather than the whole, thus creating disbalance in the target's stance, it can push targets much farther back.
Note: Hasangeki can be learned directly as a B rank jutsu or added on to Kuushou as a B rank jutsu. For branch family members, it can be learned directly with a 4-point training, or added on to Kuushou with the same training
Name: Hakkeshou Kaiten - Eight Divination Palms of the Hand, Heavenly Spin
Type: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Requirements: Jyuuken, Chakra Burst; Branch family: 4-point kinjutsu training
Description: Using their ability to release chakra through every opening on their body, the Hyuuga have developed a powerful technique that can be used for both defense and offense. Doing as the same thing as in Chakra Burst, they will spin in one place at a rapid rate using chakra in their feet, thus creating a spheric barrier of chakra around them. Thanks to the rotation, it can deflect stronger attacks than it normally would be able to, while also requiring a manageable amount of chakra. This technique can block any simple physical attack, any genjutsu if executed in time, A common or B kinjutsu rank elemental ninjutsu and B rank and below non-elemental ninjutsu. Chakra-enhanced taijutsu counts as non-elemental ninjutsu and, depending on how much it relies on chakra and in what way, can be easier to defend against. In case Kaiten is broken, depending on the jutsu that was used against it, it may cause an explosion of chakra, in which case the Hyuuga and everything close to the broken technique's borders suffers some minor damage, in addition to other results of their actions. While it isn't very powerful, this barrier of chakra also has a damage output, since it acts like a solid spinning barrier for physical objects. Normally, the sphere is slightly larger than the user themselves, but with additional chakra used, it can increase in size to cover an area of up to twenty feet of them.
Name: Hakke Sanjuunishou - Eight Divination Signs, Thirty-Two Palms of the Hand/Hakke Rokujuuyounshou - Eight Divination Signs, Sixty-Four Palms of the Hand/Hakke Hyakunijuuhachishou - Eight Divination Signs, One-Hundred and Twenty-Eight Palms of the Hand
Type: Ninjutsu/Taijutsu
Rank: B/A/S
Requirements: Jyuuken; Branch family: 4-point kinjutsu training/4-point kinjutsu training/4-point kinjutsu training; admin permission for 128 palms
Description: A powerful taijutsu technique of the Hyuuga clan, it uses chakra to greatly increase the speed of attacks executed by someone, in addition to the common Jyuuken technique. It has three levels and two variations, the first being attacking someone with open palms and the second being striking them precisely with two fingers, which allows one to affect tenketsu. Of course, the second variation is impossible to properly pull off without the ability to see said points, and while it deals less damage generally, it is more potent in battle. This technique allows one to quickly assault anyone within the "divination field", which is ten, fifteen and twenty feet for the first, second and third levels respectively. This technique is basically an insane combo consisting of several stages. The first stage is two strikes, the second stage is four, the third is eight, the fourth is sixteen. The fifth stage, which is also the final stage for the first level of this technique, consists of thirty-two strikes, the sixth, being the last for second level, of sixty-four and the seventh, which is the highest stage for the master level, of one hundred and twenty-eight; these three numbers are how the technique got its name. This makes for a total of sixty-two, one hundred twenty-six and two hundred fifty-four strikes at the first, second and final levels respectively. As the combo progresses, the speed at which attacks are executed increases as well, the time frame for each following stage being just a tiny margin longer than for the previous one while the number of blows doubles. Naturally, while the attack's speed is great, the power behind each blow is quite low. However, because of the Jyuuken, the lack of physical damage dealt by the blows themselves doesn't matter.
Note: This technique must be learned stage by stage
Name: Shugo Hakke Rokujuuyonshou - Guardian Eight Divination Signs, Sixty-Four Palms of the Hand/Shugo Hakke Hyakunijuuhachishou - Guardian Eight Divination Signs, One-Hundred and Twenty-Eight Palms of the Hand
Type: Ninjutsu
Rank: A/S
Requirements: Ninjutsu Specialist, Jyuuken, Hakke Hasangeki
Description: While bearing a name similar to one of the signature techniques of the Hyuuga, both the execution and especially effects of this technique are much closer to Kaiten, although no spinning is involved. Similarly to the normal Palms of the Hand techniques, the user will use chakra to greatly increase the speed at which their arms and hands move, and the jutsu also takes effect within a "divination field", although it is two times smaller than that of the according Hakke palms techniques. Releasing chakra in a solid line from the center of their palm, controlling it to stay within a certain distance of the user and swinging their arms all around themselves, the Hyuuga create a spheric net of chakra that is clearly visible around themselves. This chakra net, much like Kaiten, protects them against incoming attacks while damaging careless enemies, but there are some differences.
Since it's a net-like rather than even in every direction release of chakra and there is no spin, smaller projectiles can still get through its openings. With ninjutsu, it mostly depends on the effects of the technique while theoretically being able to negate a jutsu of any rank, although it is no longer ninjutsu if it touches the borders of the field. This means, a stream of fire would still be able to burn the Hyuuga, since fire would get through the net, but weaker than taking the same part of the attack normally would, because the fire is no longer sustained by the enemy's chakra; a water technique would have the same effects, except in place of fire, weak streams of water; an earth jutsu would most likely be deflected completely, since earth mostly uses physical rocks to attack; lightning may disperse completely or partially, depending on magnitude; air would disperse completely. Non-elemental techniques act in similar fashion, the spreading of techniques like poison mist also getting slowed down, but not at all stopped, by the barrier. Genjutsu is not affected by this barrier at all. In other words, it completely negates physical and mostly negates ninjutsu attacks, unless they strike precisely in the openings of the net.
The advanced level of this technique increases the speed at which the Hyuuga swings their arms, thus allowing them to create a practically solid barrier, with only minimal openings. The Sixty-Four Palms variation creates a net with thick, about an inch and a half, "threads" and, consequentially, openings, while the advanced One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms variation creates a net with "threads" as small as one milimeter thick, and thus the openings are also reduced greatly. Thanks to this, the advanced level provides complete protection against physical and ninjutsu attacks. Visual genjutsu is also negated, due to the simple fact that the barrier of chakra completely blocks the user's normal view, and they special Byakugan sight is not affected by it, but other genjutsu still affect them. Additionally, anyone who comes into contact with this barrier will be cut, becoming a pile of sliced meat, or a complete bloody mess for the advanced level, with enough impact and little protection.
Note: This technique must be learned stage by stage
