The Hissori Clan

[Munashii Hissori]

Clan Name: Hissori Clan

Founder: Ryoushi Hissori

Location: In the forests on the mountains, nearby Kumogakure. Potential ninja in the clan train with the others at the academy in the Village.

History: Many years ago, the Raikage’s eldest daughter was kidnapped from her house. He called on many ninja to find her, promising anything they desire and his eternal friendship. However, every one of them came back empty handed. One man, though, stepped up and vowed to track down and retrieve the Raikage’s daughter. His name was Ryoushi Hissori. He came from a family of hunters who tracked wild animals and sold them at market. He was an average ninja, but was said to be an excellent swordsman.
Since even the most talented of the Villages’ ninja had failed to track down the kidnapper, no-one truly believed that this man could succeed, but the Raikage, who was desperately looking for hope, allowed him access to the note the man left behind with the words “I have your daughter” written upon it. Ryoushi departed, and tracked the kidnappers using his secret technique, that would eventually develop into the clans’ Kekkei Genkai, Keiji.
For a week he was gone and hope slowly faded away. But on the eighth day he returned with the daughter, two men in chains and a bag that was dripping. He gave the daughter back and announced that the three men were the kidnappers. When asked where the third man was, he threw down the bag and a head rolled out. He explained that he had tried to bribe him and he took offence since he had vowed to bring back the daughter. All he asked in return for his deed was a sword, since his had been broken in the fight with the kidnappers. The Raikage had sword of indescribable sharpness and quality made for him.
Ryoushi settled down, got married and had five children. He died an old man after teaching his children how to control and properly use the Keiji and seeing them grow up to be exceptional ninja. Eventually the family evolved into a well respected ninja clan, known for its hunters, trackers and bounty hunters. Every ninja carries a sword in memory of Ryoushi, and training with swords is a mandatory practise within the clan. As a rule, they stay out of Village politics and as a result they have slipped into some obscurity. However, they still remain on good terms with the Raikages due to their efficiency and loyalty.

Special Info: All members have the Kekkei Genkai, Keiji. In addition, all members carry and use a ninja sword to honour the founder of the clan. Most ninjutsu has been abandoned in favour of the art of the sword, although there are some techniques that use ninjutsu to enhance their sword attacks. Genjutsu is forbidden, as it has been deemed dishonourable to use in battle since they themselves can see through them. Members also go through stealth training, including camouflage, quietly moving, silent killing and so on.

Requirements: You must be able to use the Kekkei Genkai of the clan, the Keiji. If anyone is found to violate the honour of the clan, they are disowned and often killed, unless there are special circumstances.

Current Members: Munashii Hissori, about fifty others and the current Elder.

During the time skip, the Hissori clan has become something of a myth. Slipping further and further into obscurity, only a few select individuals are currently aware of their existance, most people now believing they are only a fable. However, they are still highly active in Kumokagure, taking on missions that require stealth, tracking and/or assassination.
