Special Abilities:

Hiden: Gijū Ninpō

Gijū Ninpō ( Imitation Beast Ninja Art ) revolves around transformative techniques that augment the combative abilities of the user or their ninken partner(s). Common applications include tranforming the ninken into a copy of the user or granting the user animalistic features along with enhanced physical attributes.

Enhanced Senses

The members of this clan, much like their canine partners, have greatly enhanced senses especially the sense of smell. By concentrating chakra to their noses, this sense is amplified to an even greater extent allowing the user to be able to detect, track and monitor targets from fairly long distance away.

Special Traits:

Members of the Inuzuka clan are easily distinguished by their vertically slit pupils, pronounced canine teeth, and the red fang-shaped markings on their cheeks.

History:

The Inuzuka is an ancient family that has been a part of the shinobi world for roughly a millenium. In the days of old, the clan called the Hidden Leaf Village home and swore their services to the defense of the Land of Fire. There they thrived for many years, refining their secret art and strengthening the bond they shared with the ninja hounds.

Over the years they particpated in various battles in the name of their great nation, but none more terrible than the Fourth Great Ninja War. Most of the clan fell against the army of reanimated shinobi and the few that survived had to witness the destruction of their beloved home. They were forced to flee their homeland and set off in search of a place to rebuild their family.

For centuries the re-established Inuzuka clan worked as mercenaries, once again making a name for themselves among the great shinobi families. When word spread of expeditions back to their ancestral home, the clan jumped at the opportunity.

After years at sea, they finally arrived at the "holy land." The clan setup camp in one of the forests of what would come to be known as Yochi no Kuni. There they continued their mercenary work for a few more years. One of these jobs would come to change the future of the clan forever.

While assigned as one of the guardians of Momo Village for their Sakura Festival, Setsuna Inuzuka -the son of the clan leader- was approached by an envoy from a newly established shinobi village. The leader of Yokuchigakure, a young woman named Rina Mitsuko, had a propsosition for the Inuzuka. Setsuna sent one of his hounds to deliver the message to his father.

Tetsu Inuzuka, the clan leader, and Setsuna followed the envoy to Yokuchigakure to gain an audience with its leader. The clan was hired on to help protect the growing village that day. Thus marked the formation Yokuchi's first ANBU squad. After a year of service, Tetsu had grown quite fond of the village and decided that Yokichigakure would become his clan's new home.
