Transformation (1+ Chakra). The Chinoike becomes identical to a person, creature or non-magical object they have a complete visual image of. This can not be a light source, armor, tool, or vehicle and, and they can not recreate a magical effect. Creatures must make a DC 12 Investigation check realize that they are transformed. If the creature saw them performing the Jutsu, they automatically succeed. This does not change statistics. Body Flicker (3 Chakra).

As a bonus action, the Chinoike gains the following: When they hit with an unarmed attack against a creature that is not a Construct or Elemental, they may expend 1 chakra to make the target attempt a DC 12 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, they are stunned until the end of the target's next turn. When the Chinoke takes the search action while their Ketsuryūgan is active, they may also attempt a DC 13 Perception check to locate living creatures and magical effects within 60 feet. They see a faint outline around the detected chakra source and what school of magic or chakra nature the magical effect was created from, or one that the creature can use if any, can be discerned by them. This effect can penetrate most barriers, but is blocked by 5 feet of stone, 5 inches of common metal, 1 inch of lead, or 15 feet of wood or dirt. The Chinoike must spend 1 chakra at the end of each of their turns to maintain this effect. Blood Reading (5 Chakra). One creature within 5 ft. that is not a Construct or Elemental while the Chinoike's Ketsuryūgan is active must attempt a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the Chinoike learns how many hit points it has, any poisons, and any diseases, curses, conditions or other effects that are effecting them. Nosebleed (3 Chakra). As a bonus action while the Chinoike's Ketsuryūgan is active, one creature must attempt a DC 12 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, they become sick for 1 hour. They may retry this saving throw at the end of each of their turns, ending this effect early on a success. Ketsuryūgan Healing (8+ Chakra). One creature the Chinoike touches that is not a Construct or Elemental while their Ketsuryūgan is active spends and rolls 1 hit die and regains hit points equal to the roll + the Chinoike's Intelligence modifier. The Chinoike may spend every 2 additional chakra to use an additional hit die. REACTIONS Substitution (3+ Chakra).

A generic object is left in their place and they take any remaining damage from that attack. The Chinoike can reduce this damage by an additional 6 (1d10) points per chakra point spent over the initial cost.

[Source]. One of many powerful clans of shinobi from the Warring States Period in the Land of Lightning, the Chinoike clan survived by avoiding rivalry. However, when one of their clans became the Lightning Daimyo's second wife, only for him to die shortly after, his first wife's jealousy found a horrible outlet. Claiming the sudden death was an assassination schemed by the Chinoike, and with many politically powerful individuals being more willing to believe old royalty than new upstarts, they were banished to a region on the border of the Land of Frost, Sound, and Fire believed to be inhospitable; the Valley of Hell in the Land of Hot Water, with the Uchiha clan being hired to do the deed. When the land's own shinobi came in to make contact with the new arrivals months later, they immediately fled after witnessing them drinking what appeared to be blood, restricting them solely to the valley in fear of their brutality. In reality, the Chinoike had found peace, surviving off of the nutrient-dense waters of the valley, tinged red by iron content. As the valley and the clan within it faded into memory, and even that faded, the Chinoike's population gradually grew beyond that of any other clan during the Warring States Period. However, while the other shinobi clans formed Hidden Villages, the population density began to put strain on the valley's resources and its inhabitants' patience. Disagreement turned to violence, and violence spread to the streets. As the dust cleared, only two survived: En Oyashiro and his daughter Chino.
