| abstract | - The Zetsumei clan was formed within the Land of Lightning 120 years before the Kyuubi attacked Konohagakure. During this time, the Daimyo were currently going around the country, kidnapping children that express a large pool of chakra. The Sorcerer that stood by his side possessed the ability to find, sense, and track individuals through their chakra. This ability extends to telling when a person is lying from the fluctuations in a person's chakra made from dishonest emotions. The Daimyo approached a small village near the high mountains of the land on the outskirts of the peninsula. This small village was known as Kuraga, it was a residential village that was hidden in an almost constant overcast of Fog and Mist. Only during the hottest days did the Fog let up around the village. Only in the village could you see things clearly. The people within this village were kind and welcomed those who get lost venturing through the Kaminari no kuni or coming off the shores near their village. The men that protected this village held light steel katana that never left their hands when people arrived. The women protected their children. It was a pretty cautious but warm welcoming place to come. Just because of the way they held against themselves didn’t change how they were to those who arrived. Welcoming them full heartily. None of this changed on the day the Daimyo arrived, the rumors of his past ‘arrests’ have been known through out the rest of the Country although why they were taken was still a mystery. As the Sorcerer and Daimyo passed the men that had lead them through the entrance of their village, the men were almost paralyzed by the energy let off by the man. The Sorcerer himself was drawn to a small hut in the far end of the village. This hut housed a mother and two sons. Their father had already died. The elder of the two sons were twelve and could already manifest his chakra and control it. The large pull of chakra and how much he expended was the original reason he was led here. But the youngest is what caught their attention when they had arrived. Unlike his older brother, his chakra had not been tapped into. The youngest of the sons was six years old. His eyes, when scared fogged up. But nothing else happened. The Sorcerer knew this child possessed abilities far surpass his own. Upon letting the Daimyo know of the promise that these boys possessed for their own goals, the Daimyo ordered the mother to be slain and the two boys to be taken back to his palace. The mother, who was like the guardian angel of the Kuraga people, was slain where she stood. Unable to bear the look on her children faces as they were chained and taken, crying their eyes out for her to save them. But it was too late. The youngest boy, Itami, watched his mother die before his very eyes. There was nothing he could do to stop it. As the blood ran from his mothers eyes, something else sparked in his own. A small electrical spark emitted from his eyes, electrocuting his skin slightly as the chains themselves began to glow red hot; burning his flesh. The man who held him fell to the ground, smoke rising from every orifice of his body. Itami ran over to his mother, his arms wrapping around her corpse, leaving the chain that had broke onto the ground. His brother was taken by the Daimyo’s soldiers as Itami allowed the corpse to run blood down his body. The sorcerer was surprised at the way he had changed the emotion in his body and manifested it through his chakra, causing the fog to radiate electricity just as if his eyes were a thunder cloud. Reaching out with his Ninjutsu, the Sorcerer placed the boy in a sphere of pure chakra and carried him out of the house. The Doujutsu had tired the young boy and knocked him unconscious. When the Daimyo returned to his Palace the boys were placed in special non-conductive chains in the Testing rooms. The older of the two boys, Seira, although he possessed a large pull of chakra and the Lightning element; he could not manifest it like his brother. Nor did his eyes change under any circumstances. This allowed the Sorcerer to determine that not all of this bloodline could gain the powerful Doujutsu. In confirmation of this, Seira was killed. Suddenly, Seira began to glow right before the Sorcerer’s eyes. A bright yellow aura of chakra started to surround the boy as his large pool of energy was pushed outwards. The loss of function in his body and the stop of his heart at sent a signal to the brain that he was dying. In doing so, a last second burst of electrical energy pulsed throughout the entire body activating the Kekkei Genkai hidden within the boys DNA. When Seira’s eyes burst open, electricity pulsing through the foggy eyes like his brother, he began to scream. The pain that jolted through his entire body was unbearable at first. But the pain receptors and synaptic responses which were drastically increased seemed to slowly dull the feeling. The sorcerer was shocked, but pleased at the new discovery. It must have meant that the members of this bloodline must die before their Doujutsu and Lightning Element were activated. What he assumed was true, unless you were born with the Lightning Element of course. Itami had in fact died before, during his own birth in his mothers’ womb. The Sorcerer could tell that neither the mother nor father possessed this bloodline. If they had, they would have concealed their children somewhere completely excluded. The Sorcerer didn’t know what bloodline the father could have belonged to, but he wished he could find out. The younger brother cried as his older one was probed and tested next to him. They soon found out that the longer you had the Doujutsu, more effective and stronger the user became. But it caused severe pain to the user. But no other harm was done. Over time, psychological damage had been done to Seira, being forced to keep the Doujutsu on 24/7. Unable to handle the pain, Seira had tried several attempts at killing himself but most of them had failed because each time he tried, the pain made him double over. The last test on Seira was about to commence and Itami was going to be forced to Observe as the Sorcerer had two surgical teams wearing insulated suits, remove one of the eyes from Seira’s body. The removal was successful but the moment it was ripped from the socket and cut loose from the body, the eye turned black. The eye immediately turned to dust and as soon as the eye was completely gone; so was Seira. The other eye turned black as he looked at his brother one last time. Soon enough, the rest of his body imploded in on itself by an overload of electrical charges. The Sorcerer knew then that taking the secrets of this clan or implanting them was impossible. It was both a blessing to the clan and a curse to them as well. Over the years overcharge studies were implemented to see how much electricity Itami’s body could handle with the Denshibouki activated and the results were off the charts. The eye itself was named the Electric Eye by the base chakra and control. The Daimyo watched as Itami could drain Lightning Energy from both human bodies and machines, his sheer power increasing. This scared both the Daimyo and the Sorcerer, they knew if their control on the broken boy were to be lost; they would surely die. As maturity hit, Itami was forced to breed with different women across the Lightning Country and Fire Country. It became a ritual to kill their children at the age of six to see if they would have the Doujutsu. Those that possessed the Denshibouki were trained as soldiers and those that did not, stayed dead. Because of this immoral act by the Daimyo, the unnamed clan of Itami’s forgotten last name was labeled - Death. The Zetsumei Clan was born. After thirty years, the Zetsumei Clan had finally gotten large and strong enough to overthrow the binds that kept them in check; destroying the chakra controllers completely with their electro-magnetic chakra. Taking the palace out with their collective power, they left the Daimyo and the Sorcerer to Itami; their clans elder and leader. Itami had killed the Sorcerer with a pulse of charged energy that completely overloading his nervous system causing the body to Combust. His remains plastered on the walls and floors around them. Moving to the final chamber, Itami had killed most of the Royal Guards with ease until he came to the Daimyo. This was going to be revenge for not only his brother but for his entire clan. Releasing his entire being, he placed the lightning element into his Chakra Circulatory System and released a full power blast of lightning from his very essence that would not only deplete his life energy but destroy the Daimyo completely and in doing so, free his clan from the binds that held them. Itami’s eldest daughter was next to take his place as leader of the Zetsumei Clan. Naomi gathered her family (clan) and made their way to the west. Her goal was the Village Hidden in the Clouds. Most of the Clan that was worn out from the battle and couldn’t be healed gave what was left of them to their brethren to help them on their journey. Not too long before their rebellion, they found that they could not only steal (Absorb) another persons Lightning Element completely, they can also give their Lightning Element to another person by implanting their very essence into a living beings body. By Absorbing another persons Lightning Element, their own power increased based on the users strength in their Lightning Element. When the Clan made it to Kumogakure, they were welcomed by the Shodai Raikage with open arms. Naomi was given a secluded part of the village for the Clan to live but the Raikage and Naomi agreed on one thing; the killing of the young to release their Kekkei Genkai must stop. That was something her father would approve of. But even then, some others didn’t believe that. A civil war almost broke loose between the clan itself but it was settled at the last minute. Leading the Clan into a time of peace.
