Potential Bloodlines and
Genetic Advantages |

abililties of a ninja. These ninja will sometimes have physical
characteristics that cause them to use jutsu abilities in unique
ways.

Deidara |
|
Hidden Village: Rock Village Member
Appearances: Deidara Signature Abilities: Clay
Manipulation
|
|
Akatsuki
member Deidara is an artist at heart, and he uses his modeling clay
to fashion animals which help him in combat. Deidara possesses two
mouths on the palm of each hand. Deidara's unique palm mouths may
just be a Hijutsu unique to him, similar to Kidoumaru's multi-armed
spider traits. Withdrawing a bit of clay from his pouch, one of the
mouths can consume the clay, imbue it with his explosive chakra and
fashion it into a creature. Deidara will retain control over the
item and can decide what actions the clay art will take. Deidara
also uses clay in a unique exploding bunshin
jutsu.

Kakashi |
|
Hidden Village: Leaf Village Member
Appearances: Hatake Kakashi, Hatake Sakumo Signature
Abilities: White Chakra
|
|
When Hatake
Kakashi's father died, their family tanto was passed down to him.
When both Kakashi and Sakumo used the tanto, white chakra would
emanate from the blade and their body.
Shortly after becoming
Jounin, Kakashi would use the tanto in battle and reveal his ability
to give off the white chakra. Unfortunately the blade broke in
battle and Kakashi was never seen to use it again.

Shodai
Hokage |
|
Hidden Village: Leaf Village Member
Appearances: Shodai Hokage, Yamato Signature
Abilities: Mokuton & Bijuu Control
|
|
Shodai
Hokage had the unique ability to mold the Earth and Water elements
simultaneously. This allowed him to create Mokuton, the Wood release
element. This elemental style allowed Shodai to create and mold wood
of many varied forms. Shodai also had the unique ability to control
the Bijuu, the tailed beasts of the ancient world.
Shodai's genetic
abilties were passed on to Yamato. Yamato was the only survivor of
Orochimaru's horrific genetic experiments. Out of the 60 children,
only Yamato survived. As he grew he gained Shodai's abilty to use
both Mokuton and control Bijuu. None of Shodai's genetic descendants
have shown the ability to use Mokuton and control the Bijuu. Neither
Nawaki or Tsunade, Shodai's grandchildren, were seen to use these
abilities. It should be noted that Nawaki died at a very young age,
possibly before these abilities could have been developed.

Sandaime
Kazekage |
|
Hidden Village: Sand Village Member
Appearances: Sandaime Kazekage Signature Abilities:
Ability to turn chakra into magnetic fields
|
|
Sandaime
Kazekage had the ability to change his body's chakra into magnetic
fields. Seeing a previous Shukaku host manipulate sand, Kazekage
surmised he could do something similar with tiny pieces of iron. He
used this ability to develop "Satetsu" or Iron Sand. He could
control this sand in any fashion he wished through the magnetic
field. This allowed him to form weapons whenever he needed. This
jutsu came to be known as Suna's deadliest, and granted him the
honor of being called the greatest Kazekage.
Kazekage disappeared
from his village after falling in battle to Akatsuki member Sasori.
When Sasori reemerged years later to capture Gaara, he revealed his
favorite puppet, Sandaime Kazekage. Sandaime had been made into a
puppet using Sasori's "Hitokugutsu" method. This allowed Sasori to
use all of Sandaime's jutsu, including his manipulation of the
magnetic fields.
|
Kidoumaru |
|
Hidden Village: Sound Village Member
Appearances: Kidoumaru Signature Abilities: Spider
Traits
|
|
One of the
Four Sounds, Kidoumaru has the ability to emit strong golden spider
thread from his mouth and skin pores. Kidoumaru also has four extra
arms which do not appear to be the work of a cast jutsu, as they
still remain after he is unconscious. The second manga Databook
states his techniques are secret techniques, rather than a bloodline
ability.
Kidoumaru has used
his spider threads to form weapons and threads to hold his
opponents. He also has exhibited the ability to summon a giant
spider.

Rock
Lee |
|
Hidden Village: Leaf Village Member
Appearances: Rock Lee Signature Abilities: Chakra Gate
Openings
|
|
Unable to
use Genjutsu and Ninjutsu, Rock Lee pushed his physical limits to
further his Taijutsu ability. Lee constantly strove to show that
hard work could exceed the abilities of those with a bloodline
genius ability. After making it to the preliminaries of the third
round of the Chuunin Exam, Lee chose to open his Chakra Gates to
beat his opponent at any cost. This forbidden technique pushes a
body beyond its limits. Upon seeing this in action, Hatake Kakashi
surmised that Lee might really hold a genius ability, as Lee was
going beyond the limits of what hard work could grant a
ninja.
By pushing himself beyond
his limits Lee strained and injured his body. The actions of his
opponent Gaara only served to damage Lee's body even more. Lee was
told he could no longer be a ninja due to the extent of the damage,
but the medical attention of Tsunade repaired his injuries. It is
unknown if Lee will further use this technique.

Zetsu |
|
Hidden Village: Grass Village Member
Appearances: Zetsu Signature Abilities: Plant
traits
|
|
Akatsuki
member Zetsu has the ability to merge and quickly move through the
surrounding terrain, both plant and rock. Zetsu resembles a venus
fly trap and his central self is divided into dark and light halves.
Each half apparently retains a unique personality of its own and
speaks with its own style. Zetsu also utilizes a range finding
ability with his eyes which resembles the Byakugan.
Zetsu's unique abilties
may just be a Hijutsu unique to him, similar to Kidoumaru's
multi-armed spider traits. Zetsu also has been seen to consume the
dead. It is unknown if this act has any other purpose than getting
rid of Akatsuki's presence.
