The Hyuuga Clan
And so we were destined to meet here...
Description:
The Hyuuga Clan is, that being, Hyuuga Ichizoku (The Hyuuga Family) One of the most grand, and most secretive clans in all of the ninja world. Their power is great, and their skill in battle is rivaled by few within the Lands of Shinobi, as their prowess and strict training leaves little lea-way for failure.
They are the owners of the Byakugan, (White Eye) a dojutsu of impeccable strength, and of varying skill. it's ability allows the user to see in Three Dimensions, within a 359 degree radius. It does possess a blind spot, however, a cone shaped protrusion, right behind the cervical vertebra. This is the one Degree of sight not granted to the Hyuuga by their bloodline, and possibly their gravest weakness.
The clan, for the most part, is based within Konohagakure, however, there are stories that say that there is more than meets the eye behind the Hyuuga...
These eyes see all, but for the way to halt the passage of time...
History:
The Hyuuga were always a dominant clan within the land, strong fighters, and dominant within various social circles. They hold a stigma of aristocracy, and great power about them, and this is believed to be stemmed by the Branch subjugation they have enacted.
For the Hyuuga clan is a clan divided.
Within the Hyuuga Clan, there are Two Families. The Main family, which is a directly dominant bloodline, and the Branch Family. The Main family enslaves those around them with a cursed seal, placed on their body at the age of four. This seal, the symbol of the Caged Bird, gives the main family the ability to halt any action taken by a Branch family member with the seal, and to destroy their brain completely. It also serves to destroy any evidence of the Byakugan, should the branch member be killed in battle, les the secrets of the eye be discovered and exploited. However this sealing has caused turmoil within the family.
The Branch family very much so despises the Main family. They fear for their lives every day, simply because they know, that if they take one step out of line, their lives are forfeit. It is through this rigorous and dangerous subjugation, that the Main Family controls the clan. However...
A tale is told that something strange occurred within the last generation of Hyuuga. Something very strange indeed.
For born to the Main Branch family, were two twins. Hiashi and Hisashi Hyuuga.
Of the two, Hiashi was born first. That meant that Hisashi would be forced to be branded with the curse mark. Their parents, a Main family father, and
a Branch family mother, couldn't bear the idea of one of their identical twin sons being so impeccably different from the other, to be forced into servitude into such a manner, while the other grew to lead the clan. The hierarchy was not meant to be that way, they deemed.
And so, they fled. Or so the tale is told, to a new land, under a new leader, a mysterious man, who had also been a member of the Hyuuga clan. When the Main family learned of their betrayal, they attempted to use the Branch seal to locate the mother of the twins. The dark man silenced her before they had the chance. He had not wanted to take from the twins their mother, but he had no choice. She was a liability, and he couldn't have Konoha discerning the details of his new village just yet.
Naturally, the father raised his voice in disgust, and protest, and tried to kill the shadowy figure. He was outmatched, and destroyed. And so it came that the Shadowy figure, Sensho Hyuuga, would raise two adopted twin sons and a son of his own, to become prodigious within the Hyuuga Clan. Sensho raised Hiashi and Hisashi to become great ninja, using their twin instinct to their advantage, while teaching them of Jyuuken, and the Byakugan. He mentioned nothing of the Main and Branch families, for they did not need to know of such things. Not yet. His own son, Shinkei was also a powerful ninja, versed in the ways of the Jyuuken, but there was more than that...
Their mother, a Nara, had little to do with the Training of Hiashi and Hisashi, as they were pure blooded Hyuuga. But Shinkei was something different. He had inherited her blood, and he, would be the first to combine the two abilities, and form his own branch of Elemental Jyuuken.
Hiashi and Hisashi grew quickly, along with their brother, and sooner than they knew it, they had found themselves settled down with children. Hisashi had been granted the joy of a son, whom he named Neji, Hiashi, a daughter, whom he named Hinata. The two developed well, and eventually Hanabi, Hiashi's second daughter, was born as well. They all showed individual talent, but Hinata showed little prowess for fighting. She was timid, and scared of battle, where as Neji was a pure blooded fighter. Even Hanabi was a skilled battle artisan, for her age, but Hinata was not a fighter.
It was then that Sensho would reveal the Truth of the Hyuuga to them all.
Entwined in Shadow and the Sun, two halves meet to become whole...
Hyuuga Fighting Style: An overview of The Hyuuga Jyuuken
The Hyuuga Clan is based off of the Chinese Trigrams for Jyuuken, the style of the Gentle Fist.
The Trigram blends eight holy inscriptions, along with the Five Chinese elements, Wood, Metal, Air, Water, and Fire, and the Proverbial Yin-Yang.
The Hyuuga use a modified Trigram, embracing the Ninja Elements, being Water, Wind, Fire, Earth, Lightning, Sound, Shadow and Spirit. These are inscribed around the Trigram, balanced around The Yin and Yang. A hyuuga, in their base, is developed around the Yin and Yang. They are taught to be neutral, but their combat ability is steeped in the truth of the Yin and Yang balance.
An offensive fighter, per say, would be born of Yang. While they are born under the darker side of things, They find a power balance through dedication, and understanding of the Trigram.
A defensive fighter, would be born of Yin. Born under the symbol of light, they use their power to aid others, instead of to harm. Their power is also balanced through use of the Trigram.
Yin never uses offensive techniques, unless it is in the defence of others.
Yang never uses defensive techniques, unless it is to save himself.
This is how the Hyuuga originally started, However, they found that balancing themselves through use of the Trigram, and using the elemental seals to subjugate their power into neutrality helped blend the powers together, and to aid in regulation of the Zealot like Yang members, and the subdued Yin members. Because of this, there have been no True Yin and Yang Hyuugas since the old times.
However.
The closest to come towards it have been Neji and Hinata Hyuuga. Neji, while a just person, is a nearly pure Yang style fighter. Hinata, is a Yin, relying on defensive skills.
It is because of this, that the tutelage of Sensho, versed well in the old ways, would lead to the understanding of the different natures.
And so we were destined to meet here...
