Ryotu Clan

The Ryotu is an very old family of samurai and shinobi, which is scatterd across the whole world. They are famous for their incredible resistant bodies and mastery of Ken-jutsu, but much of their old knowledge got forgotten throughout the centuries.

Clan-Abilities

The Ryotu call their ability the "Dragon Body" and it consists of two parts. Part one, an incredible resistance to damage, they can literally fall down a cliff and simply walk away afterwards, simple attacks normally cause nearly no damage at all. The second is their affinity towards Sage Chakra, every Ryotu always has a small quantity of it in his body and their Sage mode is said to be stronger than others. Their natural affinity also gives them an unconsciously, weak sensor ability, showing itself in very good instincts.

History

The origins of the Ryotu are not completly clear, the only thing that is known for certain is that this clan already exsisted during the time of the Sage of the Six paths. They were once considerd one of the strongest clan, even able to fight the Senju or the Uchiha, but they were only a shadow of themself after the foundation of the villages. The orginal homeland of the Ryotu was Kusa no Kuni, but many were forced to leave after their home became a battlefield of the Third Ninja World War. Those who stayed in Kusa were soon afterwards attacked by Orochimaru and his followers, who hoped to find secret Jutsus and precious knowledge. Many Otos were killed by the Ryotus brave resistance and a small group was able to escape the attackers. Those survivors found a new home in Konohagakure and fought bravely in War against Akatsuki.

Warring States

Dozens of Ryotu survived the destruction of the old world and soon formed a new clan. The group in Konoha was completly wiped out as they tried to prevent the moon from falling on the earth, but other small groups survived and soon the survivors gatherd at an old, sacred place and rebuilded their clan. They were able to keep an high level of civilisation and throughout the last 300 years they builded a large castle, which is their home and a safe haven for travelers, merchants and those who seek protection.
