Soju Clan

The Soju ClanEditThe Soju Clan, literally meaning (The Cursed Clan) is a clan that existed long ago in Hiizurukuni, Land of the Rising Sun in which its member's possessed the unique ability of chakra mastery through a curse bestowed upon their ancestors. The infamous Seijin Order is thought to have derived from this clan including the revered "Sage Mode" used by Naruto Uzumaki and Lord Jiraiya.

Every member born within the clan contained unusually high amounts of chakra that naturally overflowed and could not be physically contained by its host. This overwhelming power lead to dismal futures for those who inherited this "curse". Because of the amounts of raw power resonating within the bodies of the hosts, their physical body would be unable to maintain its appearance and natural functions leading to early death. Noone who possessed the curse lived over the age of 25 as their bodies would literally be destroyed and eroded by the vast amounts of overwhelming energy surging through them. This was true until Akatoki Soju a highly skilled and scientific genius ninja from Hiizurukuni found a way to harness the overwhelming levels of chakra. While the exact method Akatoki used is only known to members of the clan, many outsiders believe he made use of hundreds of shadow clones to gain mastery over the cursed bloodline. From that point forward, every member of the clan was taught to gain mastery over two key areas of power. Physical energy and Nature energy and along with them the ability to manipulate and master the "curse".
