This permanent conflict is a source of great stress for Yachiyo, which manifests in a weary, withdrawn, and sometimes even confrontational disposition. In spite of her sensitivities, she is quick to judge others, not shying away from making her opinion of others known - positive or otherwise. Among her peers, she is known to be blunt, sometimes to the point of rudeness, though it is rare for her to act with the intent of arbitrary animosity. Her disposition is highly dependent on her general state of mind as well as who she deals with, though she has learned to uphold a steely exterior in front of others when needed - such as around Fuhyō - so as to not besmirch her clan or invite hostility from the discarded masses.

In spite of her inner beliefs, she dearly loves and respects her family, and knows very well that a betrayal of established values would uproot their position within the village. As such, she wishes to find a way to appease the powers that are without relenting to their mistreatment of their own. Her dreams of rebellion and peace are juvenile, characterized by her own lack of experience, but her strive for power is fueled by the desire to achieve them nonetheless.[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent] [center][sup][sup][h3]⌈NARRATIVE⌋[/h3][/sup][/sup][/center][indent][indent][indent][color=gray]Yachiyo was born the youngest grandchild of the Ōkashi patriarch, without much in the way of anticipation for her future. What should've been a normal childhood was quickly recalibrated when Yachiyo - a mere seven months old - showed herself to possess the Mōragan. The rare trait upset the internal structure, with delighted parents, a calmed patriarch, and jealous siblings. Instead of playtime and friendship, Yachiyo was meticulously groomed to be her best possible self - and more. Her father in particular began to shift the expectations he had placed in his oldest son, adding them to the already unrealistic standard he held Yachiyo to, who felt suffocated by the myriad of training excercises and the sense of duty she had to take on. When Yachiyo began her academy training, her abilities were more developed than most due to the diligent training she had received, much to the approval of her instructors. Her initially almost-prodigious status reinforced the perception of the Ōkashi's value to village, and alienated Yachiyo from her peers, which, in combination with the hostility between the castes, spelled a life of isolation for the young kunoichi. Her clan, however, was pleased. Yachiyo was presentable and valuable. A gifted youngling, blessed with power, relentlessly perfected by a strict routine. Continuing her education, the divide between Yachiyo and her competition melted. While she showed herself to be a competent student in most every depertment, the lead seemed to shrink. As more and more skills and techniques became requirements, Yachiyo found herself struggling with some of them, much to the delight of her peers and the distate of her family. In particular, her unrefined usage of the Invisible World techniques became a great source of distress, as it was paramount for utilizing the Mōragan fully. Her lone tutor, her grandfather, was a particularly strict and harsh man, who held none of the resentment he held for her back. These rigorous lessons planted guilt and despair in Yachiyo's heart over the fact that she was the first to inherit the dōjutsu, rather than her parents or siblings. Unable to turn to anyone for anything - be it her drowning in work and expectation, the competition between her and her classmates, or her emotional state - Yachiyo was close to hitting rock bottom, when she met Yata. A crow with tiny wings - an outlier among the avians her family maintained such a close relationship with - seemed to instinctively take a liking to the girl, whom experienced a similar kinship. Though the summoning techniques which her family was famous for was a far-cry from realistic for the inexperienced kunoichi, her parents consented to the companionship, noting the energy it seemed to replenish for Yachiyo. The two became inseperable, which anchored Yachiyo and reestablished her as a gifted student. Improving her general abilities continously with intense training, Yachiyo has matured, and perhaps hardened, but reaffirmed herself in the face of the daunting graduation.

[url=https://i.imgur.com/m2qkpg2.png]It is characterized by a black sclera with subtle swirls within the area, a bright white iris, and three pitch black pupils that are evenly spaced out across the width of the iris, with the center one being slightly larger than the other two.[/url] The Mōragan alters its wielders' perception so as to become aware of even minor chakra traces on an instinctual level, as well as register the absence of it more strongly. Users of the Mōragan are capable of tracking individual sources of chakra with ease, to the extent that it is possible to perceive what the user's targets are seeing themselves. This is achieved by the Mōragan's unique tethering, in which the user frequently receives and reciprocates small amounts of chakra, creating a continuous link of energy exchange with their target. It is also possible to implant some of one's own chakra into a targets without any (such as inanimate objects) and track them through it. The ability to track multiple targets at once requires mastery of the dōjutsu. Though none of the few Ōkashi that wielded the Mōragan has achieved such mastery since, a revered Ōkashi patriarch has been said to be able to perceive "everything his prey had seen, and could've seen". Because it is so potent in recognizing even miniscule amounts of chakra and, thus, differentiating between that which hosts chakra and that which does not, it is also able to recognize otherwise microscopic objects that the normal human eye could not. Furthermore, the precise control over the chakra exchange is involved in a variety of so called Invisible World (不可視世界) techniques that revolve around it. Not only are there applications with the planting of chakra, it is also possible to siphon it.

The wagasa is a common weapon amongst the women of the Ōkashi clan, who integrate summoning scrolls into the material. Yachiyo's wagasa is made out of a contract that she is not able to use yet, and contains the kanji and decoratative designs of the red scroll. Yachiyo utilizes the wagasa in conjunction with Fūton techniques and Chakra Flow to enhance her mobility or control the battefield, or turn it into a makeshift weapon, if needed. Without the addition of Chakra Flow, the item is brittle, and prone to being burned, soaked, or slashed. Its ergonomics can also be a hindrance.

Somewhat of a pariah from its family due to its wingspan, Yata is an important aid to Yachiyo, able to serve as a distraction, informant, and aid in techniques.

Users fill the air with mist and control its thickness with their chakra.Once the mists are thick enough that opponents cannot see, that in turn means they cannot manage much defence against the user.

This permanent conflict is a source of great stress for Yachiyo, which manifests in a weary, withdrawn, and sometimes even confrontational disposition. In spite of her sensitivities, she is quick to judge others, not shying away from making her opinion of others known - positive or otherwise. Among her peers, she is known to be blunt, sometimes to the point of rudeness, though it is rare for her to act with the intent of arbitrary animosity. Her disposition is highly dependent on her general state of mind as well as who she deals with, though she has learned to uphold a steely exterior in front of others when needed - such as around Fuhyō - so as to not besmirch her clan or invite hostility from the discarded masses.

As such, she wishes to find a way to appease the powers that are without relenting to their mistreatment of their own.

What should've been a normal childhood was quickly recalibrated when Yachiyo - a mere seven months old - showed herself to possess the Mōragan. The rare trait upset the internal structure, with delighted parents, a calmed patriarch, and jealous siblings. Instead of playtime and friendship, Yachiyo was meticulously groomed to be her best possible self - and more. Her father in particular began to shift the expectations he had placed in his oldest son, adding them to the already unrealistic standard he held Yachiyo to, who felt suffocated by the myriad of training excercises and the sense of duty she had to take on. When Yachiyo began her academy training, her abilities were more developed than most due to the diligent training she had received, much to the approval of her instructors. Her initially almost-prodigious status reinforced the perception of the Ōkashi's value to village, and alienated Yachiyo from her peers, which, in combination with the hostility between the castes, spelled a life of isolation for the young kunoichi. Her clan, however, was pleased. Yachiyo was presentable and valuable. A gifted youngling, blessed with power, relentlessly perfected by a strict routine. Continuing her education, the divide between Yachiyo and her competition melted. While she showed herself to be a competent student in most every depertment, the lead seemed to shrink. As more and more skills and techniques became requirements, Yachiyo found herself struggling with some of them, much to the delight of her peers and the distate of her family. In particular, her unrefined usage of the Invisible World techniques became a great source of distress, as it was paramount for utilizing the Mōragan fully. Her lone tutor, her grandfather, was a particularly strict and harsh man, who held none of the resentment he held for her back. These rigorous lessons planted guilt and despair in Yachiyo's heart over the fact that she was the first to inherit the dōjutsu, rather than her parents or siblings. Unable to turn to anyone for anything - be it her drowning in work and expectation, the competition between her and her classmates, or her emotional state - Yachiyo was close to hitting rock bottom, when she met Yata. A crow with tiny wings - an outlier among the avians her family maintained such a close relationship with - seemed to instinctively take a liking to the girl, whom experienced a similar kinship. Though the summoning techniques which her family was famous for was a far-cry from realistic for the inexperienced kunoichi, her parents consented to the companionship, noting the energy it seemed to replenish for Yachiyo. The two became inseperable, which anchored Yachiyo and reestablished her as a gifted student. Improving her general abilities continously with intense training, Yachiyo has matured, and perhaps hardened, but reaffirmed herself in the face of the daunting graduation.

Yachiyo utilizes the wagasa in conjunction with Fūton techniques and Chakra Flow to enhance her mobility or control the battefield, or turn it into a makeshift weapon, if needed.

Users of the Mōragan are capable of tracking individual sources of chakra with ease, to the extent that it is possible to perceive what the user's targets are seeing themselves. This is achieved by the Mōragan's unique tethering, in which the user frequently receives and reciprocates small amounts of chakra, creating a continuous link of energy exchange with their target. It is also possible to implant some of one's own chakra into a targets without any (such as inanimate objects) and track them through it. The ability to track multiple targets at once requires mastery of the dōjutsu. Though none of the few Ōkashi that wielded the Mōragan has achieved such mastery since, a revered Ōkashi patriarch has been said to be able to perceive "everything his prey had seen, and could've seen". Because it is so potent in recognizing even miniscule amounts of chakra and, thus, differentiating between that which hosts chakra and that which does not, it is also able to recognize otherwise microscopic objects that the normal human eye could not. Furthermore, the precise control over the chakra exchange is involved in a variety of so called Invisible World (不可視世界) techniques that revolve around it.

Their most distinctive quality is their utter devotion to nature and life itself. They are well-known for their tranquil gardens and the creatures they protect. The Ōkashi belief is that all is one, and one is all, and as such it is important to be as kind and graceful to one another as possible. Ōkashi clan leaders tend to be imposing, highly decorous people, who respect traditions and authority, and likewise demand respect for their own authority.[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent] [center][b][color=black]TRADITIONS[/color][/b][/center] [indent][indent][indent][color=gray]When an Ōkashi is at their wit's end, they are to capture a crow that does not belong to the clan without hurting it. They are then to take it to their home, and release it at sunrise. If the crow flies north, it means to leave the situation behind, and look past it. If it flies east, it means to endure and hold on, waiting for the intervention of life itself. If it flies south, one should respond with violence. If it flies west, the problem lies in one's family, and reconciliation is advised. Every Ōkashi receives a scroll prepared for them by their parents. A contract with the crows is made, for when the child is taught and able to utilize the Summoning Technique their clan is famous for. Boys receive their contract from their mother, while girls receive their contracts from their father. Ōkashi who are born with the Mōragan are always given names that contain either the kanjis 八 or 烏. This tradition is so deeply embedded in their history that children who manifest the dōjutsu after they are born, but before reaching adulthood, are renamed, and have their contract redone. Even the few adult members who manifested their eyes later have willingly adopted a new name. All Ōkashi are taught to use either a gunbai (for the boys) or a wagasa (for the girls, depending on their gender as a weapon. It is tradition for the child to be tutored by the corresponding parent; if a parent is unable to do so due to death or illness, a grandparent, parent, or sibling may be substituted.

Furthermore, it is custom to gift one's child a single feather of their crow. The Ōkashi estate houses many of the gunbai and wagasa of important Ōkashi, as well as a collection of each of their crows' feathers. [/color][/indent][/indent][/indent] [center][b][color=black]ORGANIZATION[/color][/b][/center] [indent][indent][indent][color=gray]The head of the clan is either a patriarch or matriarch, who is appointed by the previous clanleader and their advisors. The head of the clan must be agreed on by both the previous leader - who nominates them - and his or her three advisors. The three advisors consist of the youngest advisor of the previous head, as well as two of their own free choosing. The word of a clan head is untouchable, and the Ōkashi greatly respect their leader, as they believe that his or her authority unites them, and protects them, even if they may not personally agree with their decisions. As such, there is no questioning and little quarrel about an appointed head or advisor, as their election is the word of those who are entrusted with the clan. However, it is common for likely candidates to compete. How they handle such matter is a vital deciding factor in who the head chooses to succeed them. In the case of the clan head's death, their advisors autonomously choose a capable shinobi to lead the clan.[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent] [center][b][color=black]FOUNDER[/color][/b] [color=gray]和勘使 烏一 Ōkashi Uichi​ [color=8d74bd]∘[/color] [color=gray]79[/color] [color=8d74bd]∘[/color] [color=gray]Sengoku Jidai[/color] [color=8d74bd]»[/color] Recorded as a powerful and noble man, Uichi is a revered figure in Ōkashi history.[color=8d74bd]«[/color] [color=gray] 八一朗 Yaichirou (younger son) [color=8d74bd]∘[/color] 烏 Uhei (eldest son)[/color] [color=gray]八七四 Hanayo [color=8d74bd]∘[/color] 烏之介 Unosuke [color=8d74bd]∘[/color] 望久太郎 Mokutarou (first eyeless)[/color][/color] [b][color=black]CURRENT CLAN HEAD[/color][/b] [color=gray]和勘使 烏己人 Ōkashi Umito​ [color=8d74bd]∘[/color] [color=gray]60[/color][color=8d74bd]∘[/color] [color=gray]current age[/color] [color=8d74bd]»[/color]Having headed the clan for over two decades, Umito is both feared and respected.[color=8d74bd]«[/color] [color=gray]歩留美 Arumi [color=8d74bd]∘[/color] 朝信 Choushin​ [/color] [color=gray]太治 Daiji​ [color=8d74bd]∘[/color] さざみ Sazami[/color][/color][/center] [center][b][color=black]CREATION[/color][/b][/center] [indent][indent][indent][color=gray]Uichi Ōkashi was known as a powerful man, who was both respected as well as criticized for his relentless pursuit of strength. Even the Ōkashi of old days believed in the respect for life and nature, but then, it was thought that the might to shape life for oneself is the way to achieve true contentment and the only proper way to live life. A core belief of the clan was also that might was fated, and to not pursue it meant to reject one's role in life. His sons would adapt their father's views. [/color][/indent][/indent][/indent] [center][b][color=black]INTEGRATION[/color][/b][/center] [indent][indent][indent][color=gray]In one of the most well-known instances of the crow ritual, Unosuke Ōkashi, the head of the clan at the time, let free a crow he had caught, which promptly flew north. Inspired by the sight of the crows, contrasting against the rising sun, he decided to take his family and travel north himself, leaving the unheard-of in-fighting that had plagued the clan in recent years behind. With several of the allied Ōkashi branches following him, this journey lead the clan to Kirigakure shortly before the first Shinobi World War broke out. Upon arrival, the Ōkashi were met with distrust and animosity due to being foreigners with a Kekkei Genkai. Unwilling to cower, Unosuke and his clan readily aided the village in any efforts they would let them have, never complaining about the danger of assignments. Upon the peak of the Ōkashi's increase in reputation for their competency, Onosuke fell in combat, protecting his team. And though this, too, was viewed favorably, the clan was now in dire need of a successor. Hanayo, his only child and daughter, was appointed to lead the clan, as per Onosuke's dying wishes. Hanayo was an exceptionally intelligent and charismatic woman, able to balance the expectation placed in her as a woman, and her own ability, maneuvering smartly within Kirigakure's society. To further her family's place in the village, she joined the Oinin Butai, who made exceptional use of the Mōragan in tracking down missing-nin, and married a member of a distant Ōkashi branch, Umito, who also possessed the Mōragan, believing it to increase the chance of their children possessing the dōjutsu. Ultimately, Hanayo's smart strategies worked, and the Ōkashi enjoyed great respect within Kirigakure's upper echelon.

Umito has sacrificed much of his life to establish his association with the noble families of Kirigakure, knowing well how to maintain his presence while offering his unquestionable aid. It is due to Umito's efforts that the clan to risen to become one of the most valued families of foreigners to live in Kirigakure. However, his personal sacrifice and strictness has lead to a harsher leadership, and tenser relations within the clan.[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent] [/cell][/row][/table] [indent][b][h2][color=black][color=8d74bd]『[/color] [sup][sub]Benevolence and Righteousness[/sub][/sup] [color=8d74bd]』[/color][/color][/h2][/b][/indent] [/hider] [/hider]
