Shakuhai Clan

The Shakuhai Clan (lit. Clan of Scorching Ash, Shakuhai Ichizoku, 灼灰族) is a small but powerful clan that lves somewhere in the Land of Fire. They do not directly affiliate themselves with Konohagakure, however they are friendly towards their closest village. The Shakuhai Clan is lesser known, though they can be fairly easily indentified due to their use of their hiden jutsu, which is a variation of Fire Release, which affords them the ability to manipulate ash.
