Name: Shintō

Culture: None

History: The Shintō clan are known primarily for their Kekkei Genkai of manipulating magnetic fields. This has been seen in several Kazekage (the third, fourth, and fifth), gaining the clan renown. Despite this, there is not much known about the Shintō clan's history or culture.

Kekkei Genkai: Jiton (Magnet Release)
Description: Jiton gives the user the ability to manipulate magnetic fields. This is accomplished through a combination of Fūton and Raiton. Jiton cannot be leveled up higher than the average of the user's Fūton and Raiton levels (meaning if they have level 500 Fūton and level 300 Raiton, their Jiton can be up to level 400). This ability can be used to magnetize/demagnetize any metalic object, enhance/dim the magnetic field of a metalic object in order to move it, or many other things. While this allows the user to manipulate objects through magnetism, it does NOT allow them to manifest their chakra into physical forms like most other chakra natures. This kekkei genkai is also widely used with metal filings to freely form shapes, capture opponents, float off the ground with, etc.

Mastery: Sand Release- The user is capable of giving very small pieces of earth a magnetic field. This effectively allows them to control sand in the same way they can control magnetic filings. Any jutsu that uses Jiton to control metal filings can now use sand instead, so long as the sand has been magnetized (see jutsu below). If the Jiton jutsu relies on the metal filings' item level, it uses the level of the jutsu used to magnetize the sand instead. Sand Release is weak against Suiton due to making the sand too heavy to manipulate, as well as Raiton due to Raiton's natural strength against Doton. Sand Release is strong against Katon because it hardens the sand.

Drawback: Due to the high level of skill required to mold chakra into an Advanced Element, all Jiton jutsu cost +30% chakra to activate and +30% Skill Points to learn. Additionally, Jiton jutsu require twice the normal number of handsigns to activate. Because enough electricity can alter a magnetic field, supplementary Jiton jutsu must list how Raiton can cancel them out. Shintō have a difficult time learning other chakra natures, and as such it takes twice the normal Skill Points for them to learn a new Element.
