Iwagakure Clans

---

The Ochiba clan (落葉一族, Ochiba Ichizoku) is a clan hailing from Iwagakure no Sato, and is one of ill reputation, due to their relationship with the dead. Often seen as an "unclean" clan, due to how they work closely with the dead, they are nonetheless respected for their abilities, which include animating corpses to work as mindless puppets, as well as conduits for the Ochiba's jutsu.

Within the clan, death is seen as a form of transcendence of the soul, while the body, a simple prison with which to interact with the mortal world, stays behind. However, the body, the empty husk left behind, does not stop serving the clan. It is custom for Ochiba to sell and buy family members off to other ninja, as a way of honoring the dead by bringing them back onto the battlefield after death, as well as strengthen relations in the clan.

A clan of former grave keepers, the clan is also known for their Kekkei Genkai, the Hakamorigan, which allows them to determine who is alive and who is not.

Hakamorigan (Literally meaning "Grave Keeper's Eye") is a lesser-known Dojutsu of the Ochiba clan, which allows the user to see spiritual energy. This effectively makes them able to determine dead people from live people, as well as see the part of chakra made up of this energy. They may also determine the health of a person. All Ochiba clan members are born with the Hakamorigan, though it does not truly activate till the child reaches the age of puberty, after that time, the effect is permanent and does not require chakra.

Due to the tradition of selling off family members to other ninja, the clan has a special market consisting of fallen clansmen as well as any other corpse the clan has been able to gather. Each of these corpses can be bought, during or after character creation, for a price depending on the strength of the body. Only Force and Speed are taken into consideration with dead bodies.



After the body is bought, the shinobi can use their own EXP to improve upon the bodies, like they would their own stats.

A corpse need to be put through a ritual before it can be used for Shigai Guujin no Jutsu.

n order to carry these corpses around, each member of the clan has a seal marking made on their chest, which allows them to carry up to five regular corpses, and one made using the Gitenjutsu:

Requirements: Two or more Corpses.

A gruesome technique that even some Ochiba look down upon, this jutsu allows the user to fuse two or more corpses into a grotesque monstrosity. The resulting monster depends on the users "creativity", and must be registered as a custom item. The atrocity regains all use of any body parts used in the mix, no matter how strange it may be, due to the jutsu, as well as the average stats (rounded up) from the bodies used in its creation. However, unlike other corpses, if completely destroyed, the atrocity is lost, and must be rebuild with new corpses, due to the method of construction it leaves it impossible for the Ochiba to reconstruct with the remains since its new form altered the original bodies beyond simple reconstruction.. The jutsu itself is performed similarly to Gitenjutsu: Shigai Enko.
