Chō Clan Biography

The Chō Clan was born 80 years ago from one man’s conclusion that mankind was only as good as the world they lived in. With the expansion of villages and towns nature was being pushed out for more civilized society. Chō Ryukon left the Hidden Leaf Village so he could properly commune with nature and not lose himself to that time’s modern comforts.

He travelled across The Land of Fire, Earth, Lightning, Wind and Water respectively before settling in a forest who was also home to a member of the Miyoshi clan, who was in isolation to hone their skill with Earth/Doton Ninjutsu. The two shared common views of the world and quickly bonded, and within a few years had their first child. Rumors spread from travellers of the two living secluded, bringing like-minded individuals to seek them out and learn from them. The couple were happy and accepting of these people to had seeked them out, and after a few years all swore an oath together that they would never let themselves lose their bond over nature. Chō Ryukon created a jutsu that is now forgotten by the clan, but bound everyone present to the earth. The newly started Chō Clan found that they were able to use Earth/Doton jutsu easier and didn’t need to use as much chakra, however that was not all.

With this ease in using Earth/Doton jutsu came physical alterations to their eyes and sprouting butterfly wings. While at first shocking they all did not find this to be unpleasant. Eventually all 26 members came to the conclusion that they should spread out across the land, and act as caretakers of the earth. It was a feeling they all shared with the now physical bond they had with the ground beneath their feet. As such they split up, traveling across the world. Whether fate or part of the clan’s good luck the clan’s population always remains at 26. When a new member was born into the world the oldest would pass on peacefully, embraced by nature in their final moments. While they remain secluded and prioritise the safety of nature and wildlife members of the Chō Clan do pay their respects to the village they live by, meaning that they are neutral towards all.
