The Chinmoku

[Kaito Daichi]

Clan Name: Chinmoku

History/Legend of the Clan: Hidden deep within the Sun Country lay in hiding a secret clan unknown amongst the shinobi world. They are unsurpassed in the techniques of assassination and camouflage, each member of the clan taking a vow of silence to not to speak to any outsider with their actual voices. Even amongst themselves they prefer to speak through hand signs, which are undecipherable to any outsider, they believe that there is power in the voice and one should use it wisely. Some of the more extreme members have even gone as far as to have kanji symbols etched around their ears preventing the use of genjutsu which uses sound as a medium. Names are given to those who have past their eighteenth birthday and who are at least jounin, until then they are simply known by their family name. To give one’s real name to an outsider is considered to be an honor of the highest accord.

Their exact history is unknown, their founder is unknown, and who makes up the clan is unknown. Most say that they are made up of orphan ninjas of the surrounding countries. This theory is for the most part correct, for example the Oni Brothers were failed members of this clan and yet they were a part of the Village Hidden in the Mist. Many call them mercenaries as well, since they can be hired, but the Chinmoku have a higher set of values then that and investigate a customer very thoroughly. They turn down more contracts then which they accept. Any clan member that is hired is always hired with his or her partner. These partners are paired through a severe test of skill, personality, and intellect; creating some of the most powerful partnerships within the ninja world. This is not to say that they cannot operate by themselves, they are powerful shinobi even without a partner, its just that when they operate in a partnership there has been no conceivable way of defeating them as of yet.

There is only one partnership operating at the moment, their mission is unknown, are they here to kill someone? Or perhaps they are here only to seek knowledge of the outside world? You have to ask them yourself if you can find them, then somehow get them to speak to you.

Clan Powers and Summonings: Art of Silence- This ability is automatically in effect whenever the users enter a topic. Their sound levels become absolutely zero, as in you cannot hear their foot steps, their breathing, etc. When they run at you, they create no sound, not even the passing wind gives a sound to alert you to their approach. It also helps in camouflage, if the users are motionless, their clothes and body become the same as their surroundings, making them invisible till they move. All hand-crafted weapons which they use also do not make any sound at all, adding to their first strike capabilities.

Clan Village: Valley

Clan Member Appearence: Most clan members wear a large grey cloak which covers their entire body, except for their head and feet. They are also normally always seen in pairs. Kanji symbols are written on their ear to prevent genjutsu which use Sound as a medium.

Clan's General Personality: Depends on the person.

There is no longer the Land of Rice Fields, so fit the end of the history into how many survived the explosion, and how they came to Hidden Valley Village.

The point of the clan is that you wouldn't how many survived -_-

Ok, so it is mysterious? xD Ok, well than Approved.
