History
The Hon clan has been founded and formed around forty years before the founding of Konohagakure. It was back in the troubled days of when there were only clans, who were fighting each other for power and control. Hisho Hon, the founder of the clan, was a mercenary commander who had been training himself in the art of ninjutsu. After Hisho managed to gain not only some fame as a cunning and brave commander, he spend his money on building the Hon Estate. He wanted to create a place of peace, harmony and joy. Once it was completed, he rallied his relatives over the whole Fire Country to live with him in the Hon Estate.

Though many joined, they did not all. This sadden Hisho to a great extent and was one of the reasons he thought his dream would never come true. He kept fighting for the sake of other clans, who often hired the Hon clan to do their bidding. Soon the Hon clan managed to gain some fame and were feared for their cunning and effective way of fighting. It was said that they were lethal Raiton/Lightning users who were capable of fighting foes that many couldn't or wouldn't dare. This earned the Hon clan to both feared as admired for their courage and cunning traits in battle.

The secret of the Hon clan was in their three Hidden Jutsu, that required a special way of training that was only known to the Hon's. And even in the Hon clan, not many are able to master the rather difficult techniques that were developed by Hisho.

Soon Hisho became sick of the endless fighting and stepped down from being the Head. He faded away for ten years. He was thirty five at the time. When he came back three years later, he came back with the love of his life, Inia Sarutobi. While he kept giving the next Hon leader, one of his sons with the name Inuziko Hon, at his last few years Hisho managed to see the rising of Konohagakure. Seeing that Konohagakure was what he once dreamed off, Hisho advised that the Hon clan should support Konohagakure with everything they had. It was because of this that the Hon clan became so close with Konohagakure.

However, after the passing of Hisho and Inuziko Hon, the bonds between the Hon clan and Konohagakure became weaker. This was probably because the Hon's felt used by the Leaf. While Konohagakure kept growing and also used the funds and manpower that the Hon clan gave them, the Hon's weren't giving a place in the Leaf. They saw other clans were giving compounds and space within the safe and great walls of the Hidden Village. Bitter and frustrated, the Hon clan focused more on their own clan. Still, they honored the wish and dream of Hisho by keeping a bond with the Leaf, no matter how fragile it was.

Still, even with a bond, with the death of Sahoru Hon, one of the greatest clan leaders the Hon had, Katsuro Hon, the newest head took over. It was during this time that the Hon's lost their good presence in the Leaf, due that Katsuro declared every Hon working for the Leaf to be no longer part of the Hon clan. The clan didn't however broke away from Konohagakure, since if Katsuro would try to break the dream of Hisho of supporting the Leaf then it would have dire consequences. It was also at this point that the Hon clan started to wage a hidden war against the Nimatsu clan, which were ones their rivals.

The conflict didn't stop until Kensuke Nimatsu with the aid of somebody who knew quite a great deal about the clan. From that point on nobody else then then Aiko Cho-Hon, wife of Zakito Hon took over the clan leading. It was however all a facade as the real leader was hiding in the shadows and directing the clan in secret.

Now with Zakito Hon, who is also the little brother of Sahoru as the Head of the Hon's, the presence of the Hon's are growing back as they are working to obtain their lost glory and status.




Members
The Hon clan is divided in the Royal Branch and Normal Clan members. The normal clan members reside in the first ring of the Hon Estate, sometimes called Hon Fortress, while the smaller royal group lives in the second and inner circle of the ''Estate''. From there the Royal Branch of the Hon Clan is again divided in three, all of them able to trace themselves back with Hisho to their ancestor. ( Hisho was the one who rallied the Hon's together, there were more. See History!)

The Branches

SPOILER: Click to show

Even while the clan has no unique ranking system within the clan, there are some positions within the clan that are different then that of the shinobi's. It dates back to the time when the clan had been formed by the Founder ,Hisho Hon, and while may considered a bit outdated, it's still being used.

Seeing that the Hon clan is divided between the regular Hon's and Royal Branch, one would expect some difference among them. There is not. The only difference between the two is that the Head of the Clan is from one of the Royal Branches, as they can lay claims that they are heirs of the Founder.

And as expected, within the Royal Branch, there are differences. The Royal Branch exist in three family trees, each close to each to each other. While one may suggest there then is silly to think to have three trees, there is even some small difference among them. Though it's of course not that each member of one tree is the same as another.

There is the Left tree. The Hon's from these tree are mostly what many would consider the warriors of the clan, bringing forth many great shinobi and kuniochi. For the past generations, the most successful Heads have been from these side of the family.

The Middle tree is more concentrated on the art of diplomacy and such. Many members of these side of the Royal Branch are advisers, ambassadors and writers. They are often highly skilled in trying to use the power of words and the pen, to aid the goals of the clan. Heads from these side of the clan have been often successful in maintaining the relations with the other allied clans of Konohagakure.

The artists, poets and musicians come from the Right tree. This side of the Royal Branch is often not really taken seriously by the other two, seeing that some of the Left think that they contribute too less to the battlefields and the Middle think they aren't that high intellect as most Hon's are. Though every tree of the Royal Branch is loved and respected, the members of the Right are a bit more seeing that they have been often more focused on the welfare and such of the regular Hon's.

''There are two Wolves. One is called Yang and the other Ying. It's you who make the choice who is the stronger one.

Only know and realize,

The one can't exist without the other.''

The Hon's don't have a special bloodline ability. Because they have their pride as a ninja clan, they have developed a way of training that is kept secret among the members of the Hon clan. The training is the way on how one can achieve the control and ability to learn and master the three Hidden techniques of the clan as they require the grim and rigorous training. It also is said it changes a person, in one way or another.

SPOILER: Click to show

Name of Technique:
Hidden Hon Jutsu: Lightning Speed
Type of Jutsu:
Supplementary Ninjutsu
Rank:
B
Range:
Short to Mid ranged
Nature Type:
None.
Handseals:
Boar --> Rat --> Dragon ---> Dog --> Horse --> Hare, but can be activated without handseals if the user has truly mastered the jutsu.
Description:
Focusing chakra in their limbs, the user can obtain higher speed then they would normally be able to. The more charka one puts in the jutsu, the faster they are able to go. The highest speed so far is that the user can be almost like a blur shaped figure, but still be can to track with use of a true master of the Byakugan and sharingan.
Weakness:
User must have trained accordingly to the Knowledge of the Wolf. That means that the user must have either great talent or has spent some very long time to even master the basics.
While the speed gives the user a cutting edge over their foes they must be careful with this Hidden Jutsu. Though it can be a deadly jutsu seeing the advantage of the speed if the user goes to fast then they will experience a tunnel vision effect. The other negative side of overusing the jutsu is that when you try to force too much chakra, more then you can handle, then the results aren't nice. They can range from ending crippled to that you will never able to move your limbs again.

===================

Name of Technique:
Lightning Release : Wolf's Fang Technique/ Hon's Thunder Jutsu
Type of Jutsu:
Ninjutsu
Rank:
S
Range:
Short
Nature Type:
Lightning
Handseals:
Ram --> Horse --- > Rat --> Boar --> Tiger --> Boar --> Monkey --> Hare --> Ram --> Dragon
Description:
The offensive, lethal lightning jutsu that is one of the secret techniques of the Hon clan. Though some might say the can copy the technique, it is quite impossible without knowing the true secret of the technique. Even those with the Sharingan can't copy the technique without knowing the secret. It has been developed by the original founder of the clan.

The user gathers lighting chakra around him, much like Chidori Current, but instead of focusing it around them, the lightning starts to expand and will form a image of a wolf around the user. The time that the lighting isn't a wolf means that the user has to stand still till the wolf is formed. Once formed, the user can use the technique in both a defensive way or a offensive way. They use the lightning based technique to rush through the ground to cause a huge amount of lightning run through the ground, but then the user still needs to stand still, as they need to control the lightning if they don't want to harm any allies. An other way to use the lethal force of the technique is to coordinate the wolf to attack a foe. While can try to evade it, the wolf can send out spikes made of electricity, thus making it hard to dodge if it comes too close.
They can also use the wolf to fend of tools and even explosions that matches explosive tags. This done by letting the wolf wrap itself around the user.
While they can run with the technique active, the user should be very careful with the techique cause if they end up to use it for longer then a minute, they will start to cough up blood and if they continue to the max of a one minute and thirty seconds, they will pass out.
Weakness:
The time that the wolf depends on how good the user is with lightning based jutsu and their chakra control. While the impact of the technique is lethal, the sound that is produced by the technique is very loud. A constant roaring of thunder can be heard. It is thus only smart to use as last resort option or when to finish/attack a deadly opponent. Also if one should try to pass the time limit for several times, the strains that is produced of the technique will cast permanent damage to the body of the user.

The user also must have trained his body to at least work with his jutsu, according to the Knowlegde of the Wolf.

Name of Technique:
Hidden Hon Jutsu : Lunar shield
Type of Jutsu:
Defensive Ninjutsu
Rank:
B
Range:
Self
Nature Type:
None
Handseals:
Ram --> Horse --- > Rat --> Boar --> Monkey --> Dog --> Rat --> Tiger --> Dragon
Description:
The user gathers his chakra around him as a sphere, which then starts to spin around the user at a very high speed. Every chakra based attack will be simply wrap around the sphere and then will fuel the user's chakra pool.
Weakness:
The user must stay on the same spot and his vision is blurred, due the sphere. It can even be worse when a large technique wraps around the sphere as it drains out the chakra.

The user also must have trained his body to at least work with his jutsu, according to the Knowledge of the Wolf.

Hon Shinobi

SPOILER: Click to show

As with having their own stronghold and place, the Hon need to defend it with their might from any potential enemies. The clan has been known for the foundation of the hidden villages to be a fierce clan, taking up arms against other strong clans and managing to drive some away. Due their influence, the gear and outfit of the Hon shinobi are much like that of the Leaf. The only big difference is that the flack jackets are not green colored. They are dark grey and most Hon shinobi wear shim guards and bracers. Some of the more high ranked wear reinforced shoulder pad(s).
On the back of the flak jackets, the next symbol can be seen :

Ranking in the Clan
Hon Head
This is the leader of the clan. Selected by the council or appointed, with the council agreeing, by the previous Head, the leader of the clan must always be a member of the Royal Branch. Often seen as a high political figure in Konohagakure, seeing the ties the Hon clan has with the Leaf, it's not strange to see the head can live in the Leaf. It's also noteworthy to mention that there have been Hon's without white hair to be the leader of their clan.

The Heir
The person that is appointed to become the successor of the Hon Head can be appointed by either the leader self or by the council. It doesn't mean directly that one can become the Heir or can be considered to be the successor of the clan head. They need to pass the Rite of Age and gaining the respect of regular Hon's as the council. Fail to do will result that the council will deny the appointed heir to succeed the previous head, choosing a new leader.

Hon Council
A council formed by the Elders of the clan and some important people. These are often the Captain of both the Wolf and the Elite Wolf guard and the advisers of the Head. Though they don't have any real power when a Head is active, they can make some small decision within the Hon Estate in order to help the Head to manage the place. When a Head dies and and a new one must be chosen or appointed, the council will debate on who can be the next leader. They are also the ones who have the right to deny a person to become the next leader of their clan.

(Elite) Wolf Guard
What the ANBU are to the Kages, are the Wolf's to the Hon leader. Though the clan is nowhere in size of population or manpower to a hidden village, the Wolf's are the most trained and powerful members of the clan. Often jounin to ANBU ranked fighters, in comparison to the shinobi ranking system. Their task is to make sure that the security of the inner section of the Hon Estate is guarded and safe. The Elites of these protectors are the ones who guard the council and the leader him/herself, as often also the Heir. The only difference is that the Elite Wolf Guards are the most trusted within the Hon clan, as they are likely the most devoted to their clan.

Rite of Age
he Hon clan has several ways on how a member of the clan can become seen as an adult or one with the wisdom or such traits of an adult. This includes battle prowess. Seeing that the clan has the Wolf as a mascot and that most are born with the affinity for Lightning jutsu, one of the rite of coming to age is the Lightning Release : Running Beast Technique. There are other ways to go about. For example, when a member of the clan can impress the leader it's not strange that they can pass the rite of age, by being called Wolf by the current leader.

For the non shinobi, it's often the age of 18 and able to take care of themselves when they pass the Rite Of Age.

Unofficial ranking
Even with the organized and structured clan, the Hon's have two unofficial and not important titles next to it. Call it just something that is used to show either respect or what kind of influence one has. It's also a way to represent some honor and respect to a Hon by calling him or her by the unofficial titles. Much like the official, it can be seen that the influence of their mascot is great among the clan.

-Pup ;
Mostly used for the children of the Clan or those who haven't yet showed their worth. It can be both used as a sign of affection, seeing those who are sometimes called pups, are little children. However, it can be used also as a taunt, meaning that the target is nothing but a little child.

-Wolf ;
This unofficial title is granted when a Hon has proven his or her worth to the clan. This can be by either successfully passing the rite of age or by gaining the respect of another Hon. It's quite common for within the Hon clan to call some that are still young, Young Wolf. This is also seen as a sign of both affection and respect.

Old warrior greeting/handshake:

Though only used mostly by good friends and comrades of arms, a Hon that doesn't greet with a handshake but by grabbing the person wrist. Doing so, they acknowledge the other person's strength and ability, as well respecting them enough to make such a gesture. It is an old warrior tradition of the Hon clan that isn't much used today. If it is used, it is often against a person that hasn't been acknowledged yet before.

Name of Technique:
Secret Ninja Art : Will of the Leaf
Type of Jutsu:
Ninjutsu
Rank:
Alone = C ranked,

Range:
Short to Mid Ranged
Nature Type:
Can be combined with all kinds of natures to create an own effect.
Handseals:
Tiger - Ram - Rat - Monkey - Dragon - Dog - Bird - Seal of Confrontation.
Description:
A technique that has been developed by Lilia just before she made the Konoha Guardians. This technique enables the user to coat their body in chakra after forming the handseals and holding the last one for five seconds. The chakra will then start to form a kanji, Fox, on the right shoulder of the person. The effects of the jutsu is different as there are several forms that can be used, either alone or with others.

1. ) If performed alone, then the user can use the chakra coat to use a chakra nature to create a defensive kind of coating. But instead of simply defending alone, they also can use the coating to suddenly expand and creating a strong gust. This is because of the chakra bursting outwards, which can be used to repel some weaker jutsu or using the chakra nature to have an own kind of effect.

2.) If more users are present, at least four, then they can use the jutsu combined. This requires them to take a position where they are surrounding their foe(s) in the center. After each take their position, they need to weave some extra handseals.
(Tiger - Ram - Rat - Monkey - Dragon - Dog - Bird - Horse - Serpent - Boar -Hare- Seal of Confrontation)
Once the handseals are done, the users must focus their jutsu to create a dome of chakra. After this has been done, they can smash the chakra on their foes. The pressure and impact of the jutsu can be enhanced by more people that are capable of using the jutsu

Weakness:
To create the kanji of the Fox, the person needs to hold the Seal of Confrontation for five seconds as remaining stationary. This means they have only one hand to defend themselves as well that they can't move, unless they want to waste the chakra.

Not to mention that it requires some good teamwork to make the collaboration forms work. Not to mention that it can be easily disrupted if the enemy focus their attention on one or two in the formation. Also to use this jutsu requires some good chakra control as well as focus.

Traditions
The Konoha Guardians don't really have any traditions yet.
But there will be some made.

Relations with other clans/organizations
The Guardians have connections to the Academy of Konohagakure. Academy students that have scored good enough grades or have another reason to be signed up, are often accepted into the organization's ranks.

[j8cob]

Name of the Clan :
Osamu Clan

Location :
Land of Lightning

Part of the Village of :
None

History of the clan :
Before the Sage of Six Paths ever showed mankind the secrets of chakra, the Osamu have existed. Largely unchanged throughout time, they have also lived in the same place across the ages. It's members, born with the Tenjin, believed the celestial bodies were the source of all power, and as such, worshipped the gods within them. After the Sage of Six Paths revealed the secrets of chakra, the Osamu found their untapped power, and began to use it to protect themselves from all the various other clans that began to form around then. It was until they encountered their first eclipse since the Sage did they go back on their decision, disapproving of the use of their "gifts from the gods." For many generations, the clan remained in it's position, but none dared attack it, not aware that they no longer vowed against the power they held. It wasn't until a young Nori Osamu was kicked out of the clan, for being too curious in the shinobi arts and stealing ancient scrolls on their techniques of old, did a single Osamu ever become a shinobi again.

Traits of the clan :
The clan has the Tenjin KG. Exclusive to the Osamu, it gives them two separate chakra reserves, each one drawing in the natural energy of either the sun or the moon, and they operate independently of each other. They can only function one at a time, and that is pendent on the day/night cycle, unless there is an eclipse, which accesses both at the same time. The Solar and Lunar chakra granted by the Tenjin allows unique techniques, though Nori is the only one who knows them.

Notable people of the Clan :
Nori Osamu - Only Known Shinobi

Crest :
To be added.

Techniques :
Technically, no. I mean, all their techniques are exclusive to their clan, because no other human being has the chakra for it. So... I'll say no on this one.

Allied clans:
None

Traditions etc:
The Osamu believe that every heavenly body contains a god within, and all the stars are those who have passed on into a sort of heaven. They believe their gift, the Tenjin, is not for mere mortals, for one time during an eclipse, several members of the clan decided to test out their new capabilities, and ended up not only destroying a large portion of the compound, but killing others as well as themselves. As such, during an eclipse, if one of their members glow (which they all do), they are still not worthy yet of using the power. As such, they admonish other shinobi, automatically assuming that every other person also has received a gift from the sun and moon gods, and shinobi squander it. Though that isn't the case, the Osamu clan isn't exactly up to speed with the times. Nori was the first Osamu in history to leave the clan, albeit by force, and with him, he stole all their ancient documents of the shinobi of old. Ever since he left, they still haven't changed. Their weekly rituals still go on, uncaring of their "brother who fell from grace."

Name of the Clan :
Suzu Clan

Location :
Water Country

Part of the Village of :
Kirigakure

History of the clan :
Long ago, before the Hidden Villages were formed, there was a man who wished to follow the steps of the Sage of Six Paths. He wished to unlock the secrets of the universe, rather, and set foot to do so. It was in his quest for knowledge that he discovered what holds physical beings in reality. By tampering with what roots all things in existence, he ended up creating the signature Hiden of the Suzu Clan. This man, Kiyoni Suzu, passed his technique on to his children. What happened to him, history does not know. Perhaps he played a little too much with the bindings of reality and simply ceased to exist. In Suzu legend, he transcended reality and became a master of time and space, and is simply living in another dimension until the time is right to return. His children continued his legacy, though they dared not to venture where their father had, and instead, began to use this technique for the shinobi world. The Tenrai became the staple of the clan's power, and as such, were near impossible to defeat in combat. By pushing the boundaries of existence, they became almost invincible. For generations, they were too big to fall. Until, following years of ridicule and blame after the Shinobi World War, the clan turned on itself and a bloody civil war stretched on for four days and nights. Ultimately, only one member survived, for those who didn't kill each other off were executed by Kiri for the threat they now posed to the village.

Traits of the clan :
The Suzu members all have a below average body size, especially in their women, but make up for it in their ability. Suzu typically have high chakra levels, and their control is the pinnacle of perfection (just to be able to perform the Tenrai). In it's later years, a clan of assassins, their members were known to have silent breathing as well as silent footsteps, just naturally. Their footsteps left no prints or ripples on still water.

Notable people of the Clan :
Rika Suzu - Sole Survivor and Fifth Mizukage

Shouji Suzu - Second Mizukage

Crest :

Kanji for Ghost

Techniques :
Tenrai
Yachou
Soyokaze

Allied clans:
None

Traditions etc:
In order to perform the Tenrai, one must have the proper seals in place AND have master level control over their chakra and focus. As such, every single Suzu was trained from the time they could walk until they were ten just to survive the Tenrai and use it. As such, Suzu children were disciplined to become assassins, and it wasn't a fun process. Especially once the sealing is performed for the Tenrai. The sealing is typically performed on a child when they are about ten to twelve, for that is usually the range it takes, from about one, to have high enough control to survive it.

---

Name of the Clan:
Moto Clan

Location :
Fire Country

Part of the Village of :
Konohagakure

History of the clan :
Originating from a long line of one family with the Moto KG, the clan was officially formed when present day leader decided he wanted recognition from Konohagakure as a clan. At the same time, his children were the first Moto generation to have more than one child, thus allowing actual growth of the family.

Traits of the clan :
All Moto clan descendants have the Chikaroatoshi KG, as well as a gene for red hair (diminished to orange when paired with a blonde) and making the males on the larger side. Their chakra control is typically top notch, and the clan also seems to consistently have high chakra levels as well. Strength and speed run in the family as well, though that might not be from an inherited trait. The KG can only be passed on by males.

Notable people of the Clan :
Jinkama Moto
Keiko Moto
Katsuko Moto

Crest :

Kanji for Spirit Energy

Techniques :
Flying Sword Technique (Hiden)

Allied clans:
Hon Clan
Senju Clan
Uchiha Clan

Traditions etc:
The clan is yet to have any real set of traditions, per se. But, typically, all the families have maintained a strict belief of respecting the older members. Likewise, it can be noted every single child born in the Moto clan has grown up to be a shinobi. So that's a tradition.

History

The Cho clan isn't a really shinobi kind of clan. In origin they were first a gathered bunch of families that were land owners and rich merchants. Simply forming a clan together to strengthen their own position on several markets and places, increasing their own power and influence. Not that they ever became that really influential in a place. Just enough to keep other clans from trying things on them. And then again, they never had anything that a clan would want from them. No rare dojutsu or anything like that. Maybe wealth, but nothing in power. Besides, those who wished to grab the wealth away from the Cho clan would often find that the clan would hire some other clan in to get rid of the one that troubled them. The most Cho's saw little gain in becoming a shinobi. Those who did mostly chose the path of becoming expert assassins, trained in the art of moving without a sound or smell.

However, sixty years prior the start of the Hidden villages, the Cho clan decline began. Their wealth became less due some mistakes of past heads. Their real decline was that some clans grouped together in a Hidden Village. Because the Cho never really brought anything up and tried to stay outside it, they were thus kept outside. Their own mistakes caused them to become distant with the villages and growing less important they ever had been. It went even that far that the Cho clan was nothing more than a past clan. 'Survivors' of this clan then spread out over several countries and only held the surname of the clan. Just a reminder that they were part of a very wealthy and rich clan. One that once meant security and power. At that time it was worth nothing.

In the year 473, the Konoha kunoichi Aiko Cho started to formulate plans to gather the clan together. Several families did migrate to Konohagakure, but there were still more left. With just a few, the Cho clan could never build or finance a compound. Else it would just be a laughter among the other compounds of the other clans. It took some time, but at the year of 474, more members of the Cho clan went to migrate to the Leaf. At this time, a number of at least three hundred Cho's were now citizens of the Leaf. And it was enough to form a compound and finance it with their own wealth and work.

Only with the Cho clan risen up again, they would need a leader. Seeing she had brought them together and was widely respected, Aiko Cho-Hon was chosen to become the next official head of the clan. It was also the perfect choice when the clan took her bloodline in consideration. Her mother had been the leader in the past, thought after the decline of the Cho's that had been nothing more than a fancy title. Now with a clan leader, a compound and united, the clan stands for a brighter future. Even a heir is named, during the time that the clan is continue to grow and maybe to obtain their once past wealth and power. They have already started to maintain most of their past bonds, trying to rebuild their network of connections up again.

Cho Family Tree

Techniques

As a non-shinobi clan, the Cho clan doesn't really have a special or a hidden clan technique/ability. They instead just focus on what they are good at, which is often their talent at genjutsu and Water Release ninjutsu. Not to forget their talent for the art of Silent Killing.

Traditions

• It is believed that the ruling family that have united the Cho's is the blessed one of the Moon, making the head of the clan often not only the political leader, but also highest priest(ess) of the clan. The (first) Heir is believed to be chosen by the will of the Moon to become thus the successor of receiving the blessing of the Moon.
• Every Cho is required to respect and listen to the commands of the Clan Leader. The leader is the one that holds absolute saying over the clan.
• Every Cho is required to uphold the friendly ties the Cho clan has with other clans. Meaning to show respect to those clans.
• Its tradition that when a member of the Cho clan comes to age (15th birthday) that they receive the blessings of the Elders. Meaning that they will be considered adult members of the clan.
• The members of the Cho clan that chose the path of the Shinobi are bound to swear an oath to protect the Heir of the clan, seeing the heir as one of the most important people of the clan.

''Serving in the shadows of the Leaf,
Working in many ways,
But loyal to only two.''

The special formation of Cho shinobi that excel in assassination and scouting. Though they are known to the Hokage and the higher ups, most of the Leaf aren't familiar with the hidden unit of the Cho clan. Many of the clan are barely known with the assassins and scouts of the Rose Assassins. Trained and excelling in fields that make them good assassins and scouts, they have some resemblance to ANBU units, though it is probably not that well supported or well trained. They are however unlike those not many units like these given a kind of uniform. Dressed often in simple clothes to make them blend in crowds with ease, they have no tattoo or other way to recognize them from a civilian. Apart from their skill or any weapon they have on person during a mission. Another detail that makes them different is that they don't operate in set cells of two or four teams. Depending on the target or mission, they are formed in teams with the numbers that is ought to do the the mission.

While they serve and listen to the Hokage, they are utterly loyal to the Cho Clan head and Heir. Their first duty is to protect the Heir after all, like all of the Cho. It is not rare to think that the unit has some people set on guard duty to make sure that the family of the Head is being supervised and guarded from threats. They also perform missions on orders of the Head.

Cho Guards



Though the Cho clan isn't a warrior or shinobi clan like that of the Hon, Nimatsu, Uchiha or any known clan that is known for their fierce fighters, the merchants need protection. Their trade is based on more than the loyalty and honor of their customers and allies. Though they have and still hire other clans to help and protect their trade, the people of the Cho clan aren't naive. An ally in the morning can be your enemy at the evening. Certainly in a cut-throat world of the shinobi clans it is risky to just depend yourself on another person or clan. For that reason the old clan had formed a small guard of their own, that used their own fighting styles. (Akin, more versed in the Chinese martial arts than Japanese)

After the clan got more separated, the Cho guards were more and more rare to be sighted. With the clan however back, the Cho Guards have been formed again. They are the public guards and police force in the Cho compound and the occasional retinue of any Cho merchant that can afford to pay the Head enough to hire a group of these men and women. Unlike the Assassins of the Rose, they have an uniform, depending on the occasion and rank. Next to that, they also have a ceremonial function during some meetings and festivals.

These days the guards wield a numerous amount of weapons. Next to the much expected ninjutsu and other more shinobi related skills, they often chose a weapon that they use instead of kunai, shuriken or traditional katana's. There are guards who decide to go for a polearm, like a spear, bow and arrow, hook sword and more diverse. The most do have a regular use of rope darts.

Relations with other clans/organizations

-Hon clan,
Allied. They have a very tight bond with the Hon clan, due their Heir being a half Hon. Not to mention that the Cho clan provides the necessary traders between the Hon Estate and Konohagakure, to ensure the first won't run on any needed resource or supply.

- Hyūzu clan
Allied. They have a very strong bond with the Hyūzu clan. Its because they buy the weapons of the clan and then sell it at a profit at the markets. In exchange for the promise of protection, whenever that is needed, the Cho clan also gives back some profit they make to the Hyūzu clan. They also sell metal ore, gaining through trade with the Nimatsu clan, with a special price towards the Hyūzu clan. Though the Cho clan also keeps the secrets of the Hyūzu safe, as they have sworn an oath to never reveal the secrets of their allied clan.


- Nimatsu clan
Allied. In exchange for selling the weapons the Hyūzu clan sells to the Cho, the latter sells it (for a more reasonable price) towards the Nimatsu clan. With their alliance, the Cho clan also is able to prevent another hostile outbreak between the Hon and Nimatsu clan. Furthermore, they are able to import at a discount the metal ore and delicious sake that the Nimatsu clan are able to produce.

Benefits of the trades ;

With the bonds between the Nimatsu and Hyzu, the Cho clan has been able to gain control of a trade in high quality weapons and arrmor. They often use it for their newfound agents and guards, making their shinobi on par with those of the shinobi focused clans. This results that the mesh armour and other equipment of the Cho clan and those who have enough to buy the expensive gears, have an advantage of those who need to rely on more average or lower quality equipment.

From the shadows we strike,

Though not bound in blood,
We are bound in duty,

Though not the same,
We are one.

In the shadow.''

Name :
Dragon Lotus

Location
Unknown.

In the story it has been confirmed that the organization has hide-outs and facilities in almost every country. But some are abandoned and some are only available to be entered by those who have permission to do so.

Village
So far it has spies in every village, as the same with members.

The strongest presence is in Kumogakure and Konohagakure and their current weakest presence is in Kirigakure. That is because of the actions and affiliations of the current leaders in those villages.

Traits

So far each member is different in their own ways, but the general traits for the members of the Dragon Lotus are :

• Each member is a shinobi that has been selected for a specific reason. Mostly for a certain skill or trait of their own.
• Each member is bound to listen to their superiors due the Dragon Seal or else face punishment.
• Each member is sworn to serve the Dragon Lotus as a higher authority than the village they serve or are part of.

History

Its unknown to the majority what Dragon Lotus is or the existence of it. Only those who have been contacted by the organization or were told by somebody know the strange name of the unknown organization. According to some rumours that were spread in the earliest days of when the organization was formed, it was rumoured to be a group of missing nin that were forming a band together to achieve a mysterious goal. Those tales go back to the date of when the situation in the world was getting more and more tense, before erupting in the First Shinobi World War.

Only later in the story it was revealed that the organization has been formed by the Second Hokage, Daisuke Uchiha. To actually combat another faction that gave rise to the First Shinobi World War. It was already known at that time that the Four Elders of Konohagakure, past members of Gakuro Senju (The First Hokage), were members of the opposite faction. But much intel about the other faction is still unknown.

It has also been revealed that with the passing of Jinkama and Soru being imprisoned, that the organization has remade its system. Not to mention that it seems it has started to recruit members into the ranks.

Members

The organization once was divided into the ranks of : Lotus, Dragons (which were three) and members. With two Dragons gone, the last remaining one remade the ranking system of the organization as much as that was possible.

---

Dragons

A person within the Dragon Lotus that holds almost absolute power over another member. Their control over the Dragon Seal makes it for them almost child's play to control somebody else. Even when that other person has more chakra or strength than them.

Zakito Hon

-

Jinkama Moto (deceased)
Soru (Imprisoned and abbandonded by the organization)

---

Mentors

A person that is regarded among the elite of the Dragon Lotus. They hold a strong control over the Dragon Seal, making it easy for them to control the lower ranked members of the Dragon Lotus. The Mentors are the ones that lead often a department of the faction.

Takeru Destrushia
Tora Hatake

---

Veterans

A person that is regarded as an elite or seasoned veteran operative within the organization of the Dragon Lotus. These are usually experienced members that have done some high leveled missions and operations for the Dragon Lotus. These are usually shinobi not to mock with. They have some skill with the Dragon Seal, but not really enough to make others bow before them.

Hiron Hon
Aiko Cho-Hon

-
Katar (Deceased)
Nibo (Deceased)
Rika Suzu (Managed to leave)

Regulars

Members of this rank are the backbone of the Dragon Lotus. Usually members who are informatives that try to gain information for the other members, often higher ranked.  They are the ones that know the least amount of the organization and are mostly people that are trained to learn some about the mysterious organization.

Nariko Jun
Kiyomi Sato-Hon
Katsuko Moto

Keep in mind that there are characters that may be part of the organization but chose to remain hidden. Both IC wise as OOC wise. Not to forget that the names here aren't known to be members, keep that in mind. Also that its get updated now and then.

Through the use of their Dragon Seal the user can summon a black rose in front of them which will create a sphere of black colored chakra in front of them. The user can either teleport her/himself to one of the hide-outs that belong to the Dragon Lotus group. They can, if authorized by the leader and if the other person allows it, summon other members of the Dragon Lotus group to them.

A higher ranked member of the group can also ''punish'' a lower ranked member through the use of sending chakra to the Dragon Seal of their own that will go to the Dragon Seal of the other member. This can cause tremendous amount of pain what will mostly result that the one who is being punished can't move or able to fight back.

Traditions

None known or revealed so far.

Relations with other clans/organizations
So far its unknown how much they are in other organizations and clans. Its safe to assume that there are members of the Dragon Lotus in almost every place. They seem to have no strict ally, but are fighting against what they call ''The Enemy''. It still needs to be confirmed who these people are, as they are likely part of the same group that the elders of Konoha were (Koi and his comrades.).

(Konoha's) Ghost ANBU.

Crest :
Ghosts don't have a crest or a need for one.

Location
Konohagakure/Fire Union.

Village
Konohagakure/Fire Union.

Traits

* Experienced shinobi of Konohagakure.
* Loyal to the Hokage,
* Each member carries a kind of hidden seal that will make sure that they can't betray the Ghost ANBU.
* Each member is dead. Meaning they have severed almost every bond when they became part of the Ghost ANBU faction.
* The members don't use their name. Instead, they are being referred to a certain codename that is given to them.

History

Formed by the Yondaime Hokage as a kind of guard and specialized ANBU Faction. The Team 4, under the leadership of Tsubasa Kokoro was chosen to become the first formation of the Ghost ANBU. With Team 4 being already formed by high experienced and skilled nin, the Ghost ANBU is a faction that is unknown to anybody but to the Hokage and those who are chosen to know of it.

There is other than that not much information known about it. Not only that it is young, but every information about the Ghost ANBU is kept secret. Not just for the safety of the members in the shady faction, but for Konoha, thus the Fire Union as well.

Members

The true leader is the Hokage, much like the 'regular' ANBU forces. But there is a more of a layer in chain of commands in the Ghost ANBU faction.

Leader :
Yondaime Hokage
The one that has absolute control over the Ghost ANBU.

Second(s) in command :
Hokage Apprentice
Jounin Commander
Hokage Apprentice
The one that can be placed in charge of the Ghost ANBU in case it is needed, which is often on specialized missions. Or if the Hokage needs somebody to lead the Ghost ANBU on a mission.

Members :

Katsuko Moto
Codename :
Fury

Yumi Hasewaga
Codename :
Strife

Ryo Katsu
Codename :
Shockwave

Techniques

Each member of the Ghost ANBU division is being trained in the art of ''becoming'' a ghost. This means that they have skills and attributes that allows them to move and perform missions, while not leaving a trace. And if they do, it is often a very vague one that misleads many on the wrong path. 

The list of techniques that the members are needed to learn or at least control the basics of :
(*This doesn't mean they can do it to an advanced level as each Ghost ANBU have different fields and talents, which contradicts at times the techniques they need to master/learn to become a Ghost ANBU.)

-Chakra Suppression Technique
Memory Blocking Technique
Memory Erasing Technique

Duties :

The Ghost ANBU has several task. Due the expertise of each member being vastly different, they are quite fitting to guard a person or taking out a danger to the Fire Union. With only a very selected few knowing of their existence, it also means they are able to get in without any enemy knowing what is approaching them.

Their first and most important duty is to protect the Hokage. After that, their duty is usually what is best for the Fire Union. This means that a Ghost member can be sometimes ordered to take out a person. Even if it is a member of the Fire Union. They are the very personal shinobi of the Hokage that serve as the secretive agents to keep the power of the Hokage absolute in the Fire Union. With a ruthless and brutal efficiency.

Relations with other clans/organizations

As a faction that is mostly unknown, you could say that their relations with other organizations is void.

History

The Legend

There is a legend that says the first Asushika clan member came from the earth itself, a woman named Chōjo, who was sent to warn those already on the earth of the dangers they were going to face if they continued to damage the earth. But Chōjo fell in love with a young man who loved the purity of her, he agreed to follow her in her travels of warning those of the dangers they were causing but eventually Chōjo found herself in a condition where she could no longer travel, she was with child. Carrying Arisan's child, who was to be named Neichā. Unlike his parents, he was ambitious and sought to better establish his connection with the Earth, he was the one who created the Asushika clans Hidden. He described the feeling as a sensation, hearing the Earths hum and the lull of its call, it was breathtaking. He had several siblings, who married and had several children that were all taught the Hidden. The legend also states that because Chōjo was born of the earth, she was so pure that she kept the many descendants of her and Arisan pure of any other clan.

What Really Happened

It is true, a young woman named Chōjo was the founder of the Asushika clan but she did not spring from the Earth, she was the daughter of a poor nomad who was killed by bandits. She and her mother traveled for days only knowing what herbs they could eat and which they couldn't. They only had the clothes on their back and few coins to spend on small things, eventually her mother became ill but refused to be treated by any medical ninja. At the time, they were staying with a family of five who shared similar beliefs as her mother refused to stay with someone who did not share their views. Sense her mother was ill, they could not travel and so they stayed with the family, the oldest son of the family had taken to Chōjo and she had taken to him. Her mother could tell that they were in love, it was her dying wish that she wed him and continue to keep her connection to the earth, so Chōjo married Arisan Asushika.

They left his parents home a month later and began to travel on their own, meeting with other nomads who also believed that the earth was to be respected, Chōjo did indeed have a child named Neichā, a wonderful little boy with dark skin and eyes. At this time, Arisan and Chōjo no longer traveled alone but with their son and other nomads. As Neichā grew, he became keen on deepening his connection to the Earth and began trying different techniques that he picked up from other nomads. Eventually, he developed the Asushika clans Hidden and married a lovely young woman named Eira, teaching her and soon their three children.

Fria, the youngest and the brighter of the three children he had, was responsible for making the Asushika clan a matriarch based clan. She taught the ladies of the clan, even the males of her clan came to respect to her as a leader. Fria was also the one who started the very first tradition known as the Coming of the Seasons, making sure everyone knew that the children were a gift from the Great Mother. The tradition was so well enjoyed that everyone agreed to celebrate it on the first of each new year.

Haru, the oldest son of the three children, brought the dreaded topic of settling down in one place to avoid starvation due to the clans money issues to the women. They agreed that it was best for everyone if they were to settle down, which happened to be near a village, known as the Village Hidden in the Clouds. They did not want to invade or seem like they were hostile so they brought offerings of fruit, wheat and other herbs to the villagers in return for being allowed to stay near the village. And thus, the tradition known as Harvest Week came to be as they would offer up a portion of their crops every three months to the villagers.

Fria's daughter, Masaki Asushka, was a very bright young woman who felt like their needed to be more value in the women's role, there needed to be more care to the women. Establishing a day where all the ladies of the age of 14 were to be made to feel special and loved by everyone, where the men could properly respect and acknowledge them, this became known as Maidens Day, which occurred on the first Sunday of spring. Masaki also established the first Joining Gown, making the event the ladies of the clans Rite of Passage to show all of the clan on the day they were to be wed, saying the gown represented the dreams of the woman who wove it. Official permission to begin weaving one for yourself if you were female, was known as Maiden Weaving which occurred on the second month of each new year.

The Asushika clan had established a good relationship with the village they bordered and was valued not for the few who became a Shinobi but for the fresh crops they brought to the market. In times of trouble, they offered to use their Hidden to guide the Shinobi to those who opposed them, making them a good asset to the village.

Traditions:

Coming of the Seaons: This festival happens at the first day of the new year, the Asushika clan members gather on the plantation and light a huge bonfire. There are clan stories, traditional dances and the march of the children. This festival celebrates the clans children, thanking the earth and Mother Nature for the blessing of children. Sense the clan is matriarch based, the woman of the clan give their blessings to the younger generation. This traditional festival also comes with a feast, a long wooden table is placed in one of the fields and they all sit together to eat. This traditional festival dates back to the very first of the Asushika clan.

Harvest Week: This is more of an event that goes on for a week every four months, three times a year, where the clan comes together to harvest the crops that are full matured and ready to be harvested. It is also seen as a rite of passage, a person has to be ten years of age to help in the harvesting. Those younger are watched by the elders of the clan where stories of past harvest weeks are told.

Maidens Day: This is a day where the females of the clan gather on the plantation, they are dressed up and flowers are woven through their hair nicely. Their hair is braided, they wear their nicest dress which is usually their households traditional dress and they dine together. This is also a day where any potential suitors for a girl can ask permission to begin courting the girl the suitor has an eye for but nothing permanent is allowed to happen until a later age. One has to be at least 14 years of age in order to partake in the activities, if you are not then the elders tell tales of their past Maiden Days and giggle over how they were courted. This tradition also goes back to the very first members of the Asushika Clan.

Bachelors Rite of Passage: This is a tradition that dates back to very first of the Asushika clan, all eligible males meaning they have to be at the age of 16 are gathered in the center of the plantation. They are then put into groups of four or three, led out into the forest around the village and told that they have a total of three days to find their way back home without any assistance from anyone. This test their connection to the Earth and their ability to use their Hidden taught to them at the age of 10. If all groups make it back within the given time then all members of the groups are then taken to their household where their faces are painted with the stripes of courage, bravery and acceptance.

Maidens Weaving: this is a day where the matriarchs of the clan gather the females of age, which is 16, they tell the tales of why the women lead the clan households. They tell of the peace they bring to their husbands and the importance they have in the clan. This is day where the females that are of age are allowed to begin working on their Joining Gown. The Joining Gown is the gown they will wear on the day they wed the one they will spend the rest of their life with. The men are not allowed to ask permission from the girls mother to Wes her until she is 18 but in a betrothal can be arranged if the girl the male is asking about consents to it as well. The only time the men will see the Joining Gown is the day of their wedding, where they are joined together before the clan, the earth and Mother Nature.

Matriarch Gathering: the Asushika clan is ruled by a woman, each house hold has a matriarch in charge of it who speaks for the household. Each household has it's heir, sense the clan is a Matriarch based clan the heir is required to be female. At the gathering, each house holds Matriarch and it's heir attend this gathering at the plantation where the Head Matriarch lives. It's more a dining occasion, where they eat and drink the wine the Head Matriarch offers them. They discuss some trivial things before discussing the important matters.

Head Matriarch: the Head Matriarch is considered to be the Great Mothers messenger, it is decided based on the Clans choice of they believe to hold the closest connection to the Great Mother, each house hold Matriarch votes on who they believe is best fit for the role. The Head Matriarch only changes if the Head Matriarch bares no female in her line and then it goes to the sister of the Head Matriarch, depending if the sister bares a female heir or not will depend on if thr Matriarchs vote again or not. If she does then the title of Matriarch stays in her lineage.
Relations with other clans/organizations

The Asushika clan has no formal relations with other clans but they maintain a friendly attitude and have no issues with other clans unless they are given a proper reason to treat them any differently.
