xxxxxxxxxxThe Nara Clan
[ The Winged. The Eternal. The Ancient. ]
xxxxxHISTORY
A clan that is highly praised for their intellect, the Nara Clan is native to the Nara Forest located just outside the gates of the Hidden Leaf Village. The Nara clan has a special relationship with the Akimichi and the Yamanaka clan. For several generations, members of these three families have worked together in perfect harmony on the battlefield, and in everyday life; thus forming the "Ino-Shika-Cho" trinity.
xxxxxDESCRIPTION
Members of the Nara clan excel in two seperate fields. The first is the clan's signature ninjutsu that entails the manipulation of shadows. The other area of expertise among the Nara clan is medicine. For years, the Nara clan has kept a book with medicine preparations and effects for generations which imply they are skilled in the area of medicine. Among the medicine described in this book are the secret pills used by the Akimichi clan.

xxxxxSHADOW TECHNIQUES
• Shadow Piercing Technique Genin
Using a tagged projectile, the user infuses the tag with his own chakra beforehand, giving the projectile the effects shadow techniques. By using these weapons to pierce the enemies' shadows, they are paralyzed in place. This technique can hold its target in place for up to two post, or if the shadow of the target vanishes.
• Shadow Imitation Technique Genin
This technique allows the user to extend their shadow across any surface; including water. This shadow can stretch as far as they want as long their is sufficient area. Once it comes into contact with a target's shadow, the two merge and the target is forced to imitate the user's movements.
• Shadow Strangle Technique Genin
This technique can only be used as a followup to the Shadow Imitation Technique. The user manipulates their shadow even further; creating a hand that can move along the surface of their target. Although this technique can be used for multiple reasons, it received its' name for the practical use of strangling their enemy.
• Shadow Sewing Technique Chunin
This technique allows the user to manipulate materialized shadows to attack, and bind, instead of merely immobilizing and controlling like the Shadow Imitation Technique. The user changes the shape of their shadow into several sharp needles and controls each separately. They can then attack several targets simultaneously and at the same time snatch away their ability to move by sewing them stuck with the shadow threads.
• Shadow Clutch Technique Chunin
This technique allows the user to grab hold of, and manipulate the object in question as they desire almost as if it were an extension of themselves. Unlike with the Shadow Imitation Technique, though the two shadows are connected, the target is not forced to copy the user's movements, allowing them to retain their own range of motion.
• Shadow Contact Technique Chunin
A highly advanced version of the Shadow Imitation Technique the Shadow Contact Technique links the shadow of the castor and the target through physical contact, and not through the use of handsigns. Once the castor is linked to his target, the two merge and the target is forced to imitate the user's movements.
xxxxxNARA MEDICAL TECHNIQUES
xxxxxRULES
• Recipes must be prepared beforehand, and cannot be prepared during battle.
• A shinobi can only carry a maximum of three of each pill.
• Nara Recipe: Wasabi Pill Genin
Originally designed to sober intoxicated members of the clan, it was later noted that this pill served great use in battle. If given to a shinobi who is under the effects of genjutsu, this spicy pill will not only undo the genjutsu, but it will also stop the effects of genjutsu for the next two posts.
• Nara Recipe: Toxin Antibiotic Genin
Originally designed to fight off vicious toxins, this antibiotic turned out to bee much more useful in the field. However, the antibiotic never fully cures the poison, but simply delays it's effects for three posts. This is extremely useful in a speedy retreat, or if you need to carry on a fight for whatever reason.
