Category:Clans

Clans are specialized families or groups within the shinobi world. Together, they accumulate techniques and tactics native to their clan. Each clan has their own binding, bonding attribute that truly identifies them from other clans, be it a symbol or attribute.

Some clans gather becuase they are truly family, sharing a similar bloodline. These clans often times share similar physical kekkai genkai (or bloodline limits). These can range from doujutsu, to skeletal structure, to even the capabilities of chakra manipulation.

Other clans gather as a sort of pact or friendship, often times forming a blood-related bond. However, in clans of this nature, they don't need to be neccessarily related in any way, their sharing traits being certain hidden techniques, or Hiden. These techniques relate to teachable (but not copyable) techniques that are taught only to members of the clan, such as shadow bending and mind transferring.
