Abilities
Skilled in Artic Warfare, the Hyouden clan members fight soely as avengers. Early on in history, they were exiled to the cold harsh eviroment after their defeat at the hands of the Senju clan. They mastered a Dojutsu that eventually grew within all clan members called the Utsugan that let them mold chakra over distances. After years of living in the cold eviroment, the clan mastered the conversion of Water Release and Wind Release to create Ice Release. Some notable members such as Reikaku Hyouden have also gained the ability to exert massive amounts of chakra, rivaling that of a Tailed Beast.
