Originally hailing from far away lands, the family that came to be known as the Ikedas plied their trade across the continent as traveling fuinjutsu experts. Whether for individuals or governments, they sealed away objects, chakra, people, and everything else conceivable - for a price. Unlike their distant cousins the Uzamakis, the Ikeda have never truly had a place to call home. A few branches have settled in some of the large cities, but most of the members of the clan retain their nomadic origin.
Thanks to their foreign beginnings, many members of the clan have light hair such as red or blond and green eyes.
Hijutsu
Neruken Requirements: Rookie Fuinjutsu Passed down among the clan, the Neruken allows the user to use simple and fast techniques to "seal" away parts of the body and restrict those functions. Much like the Gentle Fist of the Hyuuga, it can be used to render limbs useless or suspend the functions of organs. Unlike the former technique however, most effects from these attacks are temporary as nothing is being physically destroyed.
Only small parts of the body such as nerves, tendons, or muscles can be targeted at first; the duration of the effect however is dependent on the skill of the user. The seals themselves are quite simple and can be undone instantly by anyone of the same Fuinjutsu level.
Since the Ikedas do not possess any ocular powers, stripes of black kanji-like seals wrap around the target's body at the point of impact to triangulate the exact location of the target chakra node or organ. Less than a second after a strike has landed, the seal will have worked its magic and disabled the intended function - leaving behind a small circular seal, the complexity of the design depending on the skill of the user.
Small nerves can be sealed off at the Rookie level to prevent the feeling of pain. Beginning at Apprentice, extremities like the fingers and toes can be rendered temporarily inoperable. Hands and feet can be sealed at Journeyman and at Veteran one can seal arms and legs. With Master proficiency, entire senses such as sight, taste, and hearing can be blocked by attacking the eyes, mouth, or ears. Finally, at Grandmaster level vital organs such as the heart or lungs can be prevented from functioning properly.

[attr="class","APP3"]I really like the idea of the hijutsu! But we need to address your requirements first. Overall: far too strict.
On top of that, the Kekkai Genkai doesn’t particularly do anything. While I get it’s as a boost to the Hijutsu, I’d recommend flipping the two’s roles (hijutsu to kkg, kkg to hijutsu) if you want to keep things as similar as possible.
Otherwise, everything is pretty solid. Just need some way to visualize/direct the sealing procedure, so you can’t run around force choking people.
[attr="class","APP3"]Great! So, now the hijutsu is 100% good to go, but the ability of your kekkai genkai is too broad for us to set it as a clan only thing. Putting seals on skin is already something you can do once you hit a certain level, practically being required for Juinjutsu, so it's also redundant.
Well I've been wracking my brain and honestly, I've got very few ideas for a good Fuinjutsu KKG. I think the clan'll be ok without one anyway, since the hijutsu is enough for me. Let's just do that then lol
