{"id":"kekkei-genkai","name":"Kekkei genkai","japanese":"血継限界","category":"world","subtitle":"Powers inherited through blood.","summary":"Abilities tied to a bloodline's heredity that cannot be learned through ordinary training, from special eyes to combined natures.","facts":[["Significado","Bloodline limit"],["Transmisión","Hereditary"],["Ejemplo","Haku's ice"]],"lvl":0,"sections":[{"h":"A persecuted heritage","t":"The first in-depth explanation comes with Haku. In the Land of Water, after years of civil war, people with a kekkei genkai were seen as dangerous weapons and persecuted. Haku inherited from his mother the ability to use ice, and when his father found out, she ended up dying at his hands. That story explains why Haku becomes Zabuza's tool and why Kirigakure carries its reputation as a bloodthirsty village. The kekkei genkai thus appears both as a gift and as a brand that can cost a life.","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-29","pos":29},{"h":"Special eyes and bodies","t":"Several kinds of kekkei genkai coexist in Part I. The Uchiha's Sharingan and the Hyūga's Byakugan are dōjutsu, inherited eye techniques; Kimimaro's Dead Bone Pulse, by contrast, lets him manipulate his own bones, which is why Orochimaru wanted him as a vessel. Not every kekkei genkai is an eye, and not every clan power is a kekkei genkai: the Nara, the Akimichi and the Aburame have secret techniques passed down through teaching. The article on dōjutsu goes deeper into that distinction.","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-216","pos":216},{"h":"Combined natures","t":"Many kekkei genkai consist of mixing two chakra natures at once to create a new one. Haku's ice joins water and wind; Hashirama's wood, which Yamato inherits through an experiment, joins earth and water; Mei Terumī wields lava and boil; Darui uses Kumogakure's storm, and Pakura, of the Sand, Scorch Style. Each has its own article. Yamato's case shows that even a hereditary ability can be transferred artificially, at enormous cost.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-529","pos":529},{"h":"Kekkei tōta","t":"Above the elemental kekkei genkai is the kekkei tōta, which combines three natures. The known example is Dust Style, which joins fire, wind and earth and disintegrates whatever it encloses. It was mastered by the Second Tsuchikage, Mū, and his student Ōnoki, the Third. Ōnoki uses it against Sasuke at the Kage Summit, and in the Fourth Great War teacher and student face each other with the same technique. It is so rare a power that almost no one outside Iwagakure has seen it.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-525","pos":525},{"h":"Kekkei mōra","t":"The official guides call kekkei mōra an even higher tier, associated with the Ōtsutsuki bloodline. Kaguya is the clearest example: she opens dimensions at will, fires All-Killing Ash Bones that disintegrate whoever they touch and wields a power no human clan ever matched. The term is not explained within the manga, so it is best taken as a supporting classification and not something the characters discuss. What matters is the scale: it is no longer about combining elements, but about abilities beyond ordinary shinobi heredity.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-690","pos":690},{"h":"Heritage in the new generation","t":"In Boruto, kekkei genkai still pass from parents to children. Sarada inherits Sasuke's Sharingan and Himawari awakens the Hyūga Byakugan, while Boruto's right eye, which the anime calls the Jōgan, appears without a clear bloodline explanation. The Kāma, on the other hand, is not an inheritance: it is a mark implanted by the Ōtsutsuki. The Shippūden anime also adds clans exclusive to that adaptation, such as the Chinoike and their Ketsuryūgan.","lvl":2,"ch":"boruto-10","pos":710}],"characters":["haku","kimimaro","yamato","hashirama","mei","darui","pakura","mu","onoki","kaguya-otsutsuki","sarada","himawari","boruto"],"related":["dojutsu","naturalezas-de-chakra","hyoton","mokuton","yoton","shakuton","jinton","shikotsumyaku","sharingan","byakugan","ketsuryugan","karma"],"reference":"Naruto, chapters 29, 201–217, 297, 466, 524–529 and 679–690; Boruto, manga, chapter 10.","sources":[{"title":"Guía oficial de anime: Naruto y Shippuden","url":"https://naruto-official.com/en/anime"},{"title":"Kimimaro: combate y Shikotsumyaku","url":"https://naruto-official.com/en/anime/naruto1/list/01_351"},{"title":"Guía oficial de anime: Boruto","url":"https://naruto-official.com/en/anime"}],"figures":[]}
