Samurai and Releases

[Anmida]

Now I know that the seal of the Samurai bars the use of jutsu but if someone had a release before they became a Samurai, would they still possess said release?

If the question above turns out to be yes, then would it be possible for them to use jutsu that don't require handseals and doesn't require the manipulation of chakra such as having Doton and being able to feel vibrations in the ground to determine enemy location?

Edit: FYI, the Hoshigake and Samurai restrictions makes it look like they have the potential to become Samurai and still retain their passive abilities. Wouldn't that be a little too strong?

Samurai can learn releases, as they don't use handsigns. If there is a release technique that doesn't require handsigns (I think we got rid of all of those) they are usable. Even current Samurai can learn a release, actually. I dont feel 100% about granting Samurai masteries in releases, but technically it fits the system. The entire idea of releases though, being that they are a ninja art, would be frowned upon.

Passive abilities like Sharingan, Byakugan, etc, are all Samurai compatible. Other bloodline abilities are also compatible like Hoshigake or Inzuka, and it would be possible ICly to make sense for an Uchiha to abandon their village and join the Samurai, Sharingan and all.

My guess is mods would not approve of you starting with both a bloodline and Samurai, but it is possible to do so ICly.
