Kumori Clan (STL)

The Kumori Clan is a clan of mostly shadow jutsu users from Konoha, and are a cousin clan of the and thus share very similar jutsus. The Kumori clan's shadow techniques generally don't rely on possessions but rather manipulate shadows for offensive and defensive jutsus in the same way that most shinobi manipulate fire, earth, water, etc. As a result of being related to the they also possess the ability to awaken the Shadow Release Kekkei Genkai.

Whilst Kumori Clan members do use Shadow Posession jutsus, only a small few are allowed as the jutsus are considered to belong to the Nara Clan. As a result many Kumori Clan members rely on elemental jutsus such as the Fire Release, Water Release, Earth Release and so forth.

While the Kumori Clan is known for their Shadow jutsus they also are specialists of neutralization jutsus, most specifically in the medical field. As a result they tend to be part of Konohagakure's elite medical shinobi. Another usage some members have is to use their Shadows to prevent enemy shinobi from using Genjutsus and also are capable of inducing powerful Genjutsus as a result.
