The Inuzuka Clan

The Inuzuka Clan hails from the Hidden Leaf Village and is renown world-wide for their use of canines as fighting companions. The clansmen are highly fond of man's best friend, the canine, and treat them as if they were bound together by blood. This emphasizes the common allusion that the Inuzuka Clan is regarded as the House of Dogs. Clansmen are given their own canine partner once they come of age; an honor within the clan that signifies that the next generation is worthy enough to uphold the future of the clan name. Thereafter, the clan member and their companion(s) become inseparable. Unbreakable bonds of friendship and love are formed through this companionship to a point at which either party would die to save the other.

Inuzuka Clan members are distinguished by distinctive red colored fang markings on their cheeks as a representation of their connection to canines, as well as animalistic eyes and larger canine teeth. It would seem that the bond established between an Inuzuka and their canine partner(s) has allowed for their chakras to combine, transforming the clansman into a more feral-like state. Both companion and owner move as one on the battlefield, assisting each other perfectly with only the slightest communication between one another. Clan members are known to combine Hidden Techniques with their animal companions, creating a deadly collaboration of offensive Taijutsu. With heightened senses as well, one can never hide from an Inuzuka tracker.

To conclude, the members of the Inuzuka Clan should never be underestimated.

Restrictions

2. Inuzuka can only possess Canine-based Summoning Families.

3. It should be noted that Inuzuka possess the ability to hear and smell with efficiency roughly equal to that of a canine (not exactly a canine's level, but very close). This should be remembered.

4. All ninken possess their own chakra pools of exactly one massive. Techniques carried out by them are deducted from their pools, not their owner's. Like all things that possess chakra, should a ninken's chakra reserve reach zero, they will die. A ninken's pool increases by x2 High for every additional Massive its owner earns.

Effectively doubling their capabilities, and those of any other nearby clan members, Osakebi allows a unit of Inuzuka to hastily overwhelm their enemy with a relentless barrage of bone-shattering, flesh shredding assaults before they even realize what's happened. It is said this technique is the reasons Inuzuka are revered as some of the strongest cells in the world, namely due to the fact that they are all effected even if only one member puts this technique into play.Note: This technique effectively doubles the offensive, defensive, and supplementary capabilities of all Inuzuka and their Ninken within a sixty meter range (this is only applied to Inuzuka based jutsu).
