The Yōhi clan (蓬火一族,Yōhi Ichizoku) Clan is one of the most interesting clans in the Land of Fire, not only for their strong-beliefs in the way of the Ninja-Monk, but also their sacred duty in protecting the Fire Temple and its inner-teaching. From their position as well as belief, the Yōhi have been taught the closest form of Ninshū that is available to the modern world, Fire Method, which is a dance that allows the Yōhi to control, produce and manipulate fire in accordance to their will.
Overview[]
The Yōhi Clan, although distantly related to the Goka Clan, possesses a unique ability known as the Pyromorph Incantation. This mystical technique enables members of the Yōhi Clan to transform their bodies into roaring flames, harnessing the power of fire in a remarkable way. When they activate this technique, their entire body becomes a blazing inferno, composed of both Yang and Fire Release chakra, resulting in flames of unparalleled intensity. This transformation grants them several extraordinary abilities:
1. Intangibility: In their fiery form, Yōhi Clan members become virtually intangible, allowing them to phase through physical objects and attacks. This makes them highly resistant to conventional physical assaults.
2. Fire-Based Attacks: The flames that envelop their body are not just for show. They can deal devastating fire-based damage to anything they come into contact with, turning their very presence into a weapon.
3. Precise Control: Through the Pyromorph Incantation, the Yōhi Clan gains precise control over fire. They can manipulate flames with great precision, shaping them into various forms and launching them as ranged attacks.
These abilities make the Yōhi Clan formidable fire users in the shinobi world, and their Pyromorph Incantation sets them apart as masters of flame manipulation.
Strengths[]
Additionally, it's worth noting that Wind Release can have an empowering effect on the Yōhi Clan's abilities. When combined with their fire techniques, the presence of Wind Release can cause their flames and bodies to grow even more formidable. The synergy between Wind and Fire Releases enhances the Yōhi Clan's offensive capabilities, making them even more potent adversaries on the battlefield. This combination of elemental manipulation adds complexity to their fighting style and further solidifies their reputation as skilled fire users in the shinobi world.
Weaknesses[]
The Yōhi Clan's weakness to water is indeed a significant vulnerability due to their intense flames. While basic water release techniques may not be sufficient to extinguish them, more advanced water manipulation techniques, such as powerful water jutsu or water-based kekkei genkai, could prove effective in dampening or extinguishing their flames.
Additionally, the use of fire extinguishers can be an effective means of combating Yōhi Clan members. However, the amount of extinguishing agents required would depend on the Yōhi member's skill level and the intensity of their flames. Higher-level shinobi may require a larger quantity of fire extinguishers to effectively suppress their fiery abilities.
The Yōhi Clan's dependence on oil to fuel their flames is an intriguing weakness that opponents might exploit. If their oil supply were somehow cut off or drained during battle, it could leave Yōhi Clan members vulnerable as their flames diminish. This could be a strategic avenue for opponents to explore when facing this unique clan.
Dojutsu[]
The Yōgan is the lesser-known dōjutsu kekkei genkai of the Yōhi clan that appears selectively among its members. According to legend, it is supposedly a mutation of a power originating from another dimension, giving its wielder the ability to control the surrounding temperature, which can extinguish fire/heat based techniques. Suzaku's dojutsu can envelop a person's body in heat, resulting in them developing heat syncope, which can subdue them and cause dizziness. The amount of chakra control is ridiculously hard even for a medical ninja and cannot be used while in conjunction with other techniques.
