Suiton's effect is enveloping, meaning that suiton passively surrounds anything that it makes contact with. Suiton techniques that do not last over periods of times (i.e, exploding techniques) drench their opponents, but long term techniques will envelop anything they come in contact with and maintain a hold on it with the 3/4th strength of the technique, rounded down. This means that if a suiton wave is shot forward with 17 strength, it will envelope and move anything with it that does not have more than 12 strength to resist it. This allows Suiton to fill a very powerful role in eliminating tools from opponent's access and capturing targets.
Fuuton Affinity:

Passive (Cutting)Show
Fuuton has a natural cutting property to it, that exists in all jutsu unless otherwise stated. This gives fuuton a unique opportunity to strike with additional power, and to act as a offensive defense. Regardless of their purpose fuuton jutsu passively cut with no distinct pattern at 1/2 the strength of the technique rounded down unless otherwise stated. This means if someone punched a 20 strength fuuton wall, they would get cuts on their hand applied with 10 strength. This also means that fuuton jutsu specifically designated to cut things can create devastating wound by essentially striking twice.

History
Historical AccountsShow
Birth, and His Acadamy YearsShow
Yusuke was born into an unorthodox family, his father and mother an arranged marriage. A part of the Hirohito family, the Ketsueki House was dedicated to preserving blueprints for Secret Fuuinjutsu. The Ketsueki House saved the weaponized sealing techniques of the Kirigakure war clans, along with providing shinobi for the Mizukage's personal assassination specific tasks. Most civillians were unaware of the presence of the Ketsueki within the Hirohito Principal family. Since few shinobi emerged from the Blood House, most duties relegated to House members involved simple housekeeping. Among the elite warriors of Kirigakure however, the legendary ability of a Ketsueki was widely respected.

Yusuke's father was an accomplished assassin for Kirigakure. Proficient with Fuuinjutsu, the Ketsueki Houseman was the only Shinobi of his generation. He was dedicated to bringing another Ketsueki into the world through the process of the greatest secret family technique. His prodigal son, Yusuke, was born into the world through purpose; and his whole small family was proud of that. Worldwide there aren't many members of the Ketsueki family, the harrowing blood rituals involved in their birth often resulted in fatal horror.

The Ketsueki House had been an infamously underground family of Hirohito scribes around Kirigakure. Rarely producing shinobi, they recieved little presence in societal affairs and spread themselves thinly out around the Water Country. The House spent decades in obscurity, working tirelessly to provide safekeeping for the Hirohito family to catalogue Fuuinjutsu. Above all however, the Ketsueki House were dedicated to guarding their treasured Genki Fuuinjutsu techniques, and were focused on greater mysteries. The sages of the Ketsueki House were heavily involved with attaining immortality, power, and knowledge through dark arts.

The 6-Pointed Tsukau Seal was the clans ultimate technique. Designed for use on an occupied Ketsueki womb, the Fuuinjutsu placed a Seal upon the unborn child. This seal drains the child of their Genki, a precious material used to create chakra. With no Genki to power their body, the child draws on their mothers vital force to form a body. By creating this connection with their child, the mother is able to alter the Seal placed on their child by the father; and during child birth she completes the technique by shedding her blood into the child's mouth. This transforms the 6-Pointed Tsukau Seal into the Genki Star.

Yusuke's father was able to perform the technique, a famously accomplished shinobi of Kirigakure. When his wife found herself expecting a child, he began his work. All of his life he had studied how to perform the jutsu, and he would finally have his chance. The blood sacrifice jutsu was rumored to be passed on by chakra demons who fed on human blood in the night, so the two left Kirigakure to give birth among Sages within the Ketsueki House.

The seal created by the Ketsueki clan was devised to harness Genki and use it to perform superhuman feats. This energy called Genki is sacred to the creation of chakra, and the Ketsueki House held grand secrets of how Genki could be used to create superhuman beings. After inspecting Yusuke's mother, and confirming her as fitting for childbirth, she was permitted to join the House with her child. While a married-in member of the Ketsueki clan, she was not initiated and as such, the Sages were to instruct her on how to operate the 6-Pointed Tsukau Seal.

Despite his mothers unfamiliarity with the hidden arts, Yusuke survived his birth and grew to be a model member of the Ketsueki House. Like all initiated members of the House, he had pale white skin and fangs. His mouth was black, and on his red tongue was the 6-pointed star encircled with Fuuin-calligraphy ingrained. His tongue was rather large and he spoke with a lisp, like most of the House did. Yusuke fit in well among his House, and for five years his father instructed him on the culture behind the Genki Star.

While the Genki Star granted the user with great power, there was a cost. To feed upon Genki, and activate the Star, fresh blood from a non-Ketsueki must be shed upon the tongue. As well, due to the way his body created and sustained Genki, he was required to feed on blood or die. His House elders put him to the task of developing a way to feed covertly. Most of the clan excelled in quick drawing blades, and dabbing the blood off someone before they noticed. Yusuke however, sought to be different. While he was good with the quickdraw, the child studied ninjutsu as well. Hoping to use his affinity for Suiton to develop some way with blood drawing. Finally developing a rudimentary version of the Hidden Mist jutsu, in an attempt to create blades of moisture to cut, Yusuke presented to technique to the elders. Impressed with the young boys ability, they encouraged Yusuke's family to enroll him in the Academy.

Living inside of the city was a new experience for Yusuke. From birth he had been around other Ketsueki, people who cut others and fed on their blood. Some of his House mates were ruthless, going after strangers for blood. The Village, while gritty, felt like a playground to him. Yusuke became curious for the first time in his life, and began to explore. During the evening his father would go out stalking with him, and the two would work as a team to draw blood from villagers. They appeared casual, like innocent father and son at the late night market place.

Yusuke's mother however, did not trust the village. She was not a shinobi, and was married to her husband at the age of 9. Her royal Ketsueki parents believed that their House was superior to others, and that their House were persecuted because of their need for blood. Yusuke's mother became withdrawn, and before long delusional. She resented her shinobi husband for raising their son as a shinobi, however before she could leave him she died. Staying home for so long had withered her physical stamina away, and her mental state was weathered away long before she abstained from feeding. Yusuke's mother left him early in his life, and served as a reminder of the necessity demanded by the Genki Star.

By his ninth birthday, Yusuke and his widow father lived alone. The House ostracized the elder shinobi, despite Yusuke's ability with the Houses Secret Techniques. They believed Yusuke's father had led his wife astray, and was not faithful to the art of the House. Despite the family woes, Yusuke continued his study in Kirigakure. The young boy was a prodigy, thanks in large part to his Houses unique way of upbringing. Graduating from the academy a week before his tenth birthday, Yusuke became a Genin.
The Studious Life of a GeninShow
At the ripe age of ten years old, Yusuke was officially a Genin for Kirigakure. He was growing up, and decided to begin a lifetime of writing in his journal. The ninja didn't speak much, so writing his thoughts became a healthy habit. He often carried a notebook in his pocket, eager to find a quiet place of solitude to write. When he wasn't taking care of his duties for the Hirohito house, the young child a dedicated scribe, Yusuke was practicing his ninja arts in the marshes surrounding Kirigakure.

Day to day life for Yusuke was exhilirating. Despite the rather mundane routine of Genin, he enjoyed himself. In between fulfilling missions for the village, Yusuke would write about his studies in his journal. The prodigal son was quite studious with the various Hidden Arts of the Ketsueki House, and was constantly fillibustering ideas to enhance the value of his Genki Star in combat. With an acting Ketsueki member engaging in combat on behalf of Kiri, the House placed a lot of hope on Yusuke. He was constantly engaged in developing new techniques.

After a few years with exceptional records in missions, Yusuke was growing to be an accomplished ninja. The Kirigakure personnel respected his unique style of attack, and his ability as a berserker in a squad was unrivaled by other Genin. His Genki Star was becoming a well known subject by the military. As the years passed by, and Yusuke grew in power, his jounin instructor suggested he take the Chuunin exams; with some time to prepare, Yusuke decided he would be more than ready for the test when it came.

As he spent increasingly longer amounts of time away from home, the relationship he held with his father became strained. With no one to stand by him, the elder became involved in mercenary work. Unable to compete with an enemy, Yusuke's father was killed by mutilation; bleeding to death from his severed tongue. Now an orphan, Yusuke grew more detached to Kirigakure society. Often travelling abroad in solitude, or studying with Sages of the Ketsueki House in the marshes of the Water Country, Yusuke is training diligently to prove himself as the greatest ninja from the Ketsueki House.
