Inuzuka Bloodline

Bloodline Name | Inuzuka Bloodline
Possessors | Inuzuka Clan
Appearance | A rather feral-looking  group of individuals, those of the Inuzuka bloodline can be identified by their wild appearances. Typically having a wild unkempt style of hair, very defined canine teeth, and nails that grow naturally sharp as razors. While not mandatory, most members also adopt to getting face tattoos which is usually red fangs.
Abilities | The members are given their own canine partner(s) when they reach a certain age. Thereafter, the shinobi and their dog(s) are practically inseparable. The shinobi and canine allies fight using Cooperation Ninjutsu that take advantage of their teamwork and their sharp claws and teeth. The clan members are also able to communicate with canines (not telepathically). The members of this bloodline, much like their canine partners, have a greatly enhanced sense of smell. By concentrating chakra to their noses, this sense is amplified to an even greater extent allowing the user to be able to detect, track and monitor targets from a fairly long distance away.

Stage One Ninken

• Able to use C-Rank or Lower Bloodline Jutsu
  
• Ninken Nose (Bloodline Perk) - Can Passively pinpoint one scent within 10m radius (15m if Fuuton Possessor)
  
• Able Possess One Ninken (Ninja Dog) -  Ninken at this stage are essentially puppies and cannot be used as mounts, although they can still perform Cooperation Jutsu. They are incapable of speaking, but can understand complicated orders and can make their intents known to their owners through barks and growls. As jutsu are performed by the member, a chakra cost is not imposed on the Ninken but rather a stamina cost. Once stamina reaches 0 then the Ninken has become exhausted and cannot perform any further cooperation jutsu (regardless is the member still has his stamina). All Ninken progress as the member does and can never outrank the owner.
  
• In order to reach the next stage, one must possess no less then 5 Bloodline Jutsu (Custom or Canon). In addition to this they must complete a 1k word Topic training with their Ninken specifically (no specific method required).

Stage Two

• Able to use A-Rank or Lower Bloodline Jutsu
  
• Ninken Nose (Bloodline Perk) - Can passively pinpoint one scent within 20m radius (30m if Fuuton Possessor)
  
• Able Possess Two Ninken (Ninja Dog) -  Ninken at Stage Two are considered adults and can verbally communicate and respond to their surroundings. They are also big enough to be ridden as mounts for a full grown man. In addition to this, they can also use weapons and items in combat if the need arises. As jutsu are performed by the member, a chakra cost is not imposed on the Ninken but rather a stamina cost. Once stamina reaches 0 then the Ninken has become exhausted and cannot perform any further cooperation jutsu (regardless is the member still has his stamina). The second Ninken, if taken, must start at stage one and will always be scaled a rank lower than their owner regardless of the stage the Ninken reaches.
  
• In order to reach the next stage, one must possess no less then 10 Bloodline Jutsu (Custom or Canon). In addition to this they must complete a 2k word Topic training their Ninken specifically (no specific method required).

Stage Three

• Able to use S-Rank or Lower Bloodline Jutsu
  
• Ninken Nose (Bloodline Perk) - Can Passively pinpoint one scent within 30m radius (45m if Fuuton Possessor)
  
• Able Possess One Ninken (Ninja Dog) -  Ninken at Stage Three are considered elite and can verbally communicate and respond to their surroundings, and even work independently if the need arises. These Ninken are the only ones capable of using jutsu (so long as they don't requiring handsigns) and has a chakra supply that is half that of the owners.  They are also big enough to be ridden as mounts for a full grown man. As jutsu are performed by the member, a chakra cost is not imposed on the Ninken but rather a stamina cost. Once stamina reaches 0 then the Ninken has become exhausted and cannot perform any further cooperation jutsu (regardless is the member still has his stamina). The second Ninken, if taken, must start at stage one and will always be scaled a rank lower than their owner regardless of the stage the Ninken reaches.
  
• In order to reach the next stage, one must possess no less then 15  Bloodline Jutsu (Canon or Custom). In addition to this they must complete a 3k word Topic training their Ninken specifically (no specific method required).

Weaknesses | Sensitive Nose (Bloodline Weakness) -  Jutsu, Items, or any other Scent related attack or effect is doubled due to the bloodline's increased sense of smell.
