Clan Name: Nara
Clan Location: Konoha
Clan Traits:
To begin with, all members of the clan seem to have black spiky hair and soft boyish faces. Also they are usually of a lighter build and not muscular. They tend to have lower chakra reserves, but a very high chakra control to make up for it. Typically, it is the men who become ninja, but every so often a woman will join the ranks as well. All the men are classified genius's with IQ's that are generally higher then the mark of 200. They tend to be lazy and unwilling to work however, but they do have a strong will and hold greatly the term "comrade" as one of the most important words in their vocabulary.
The focus of their jutsu is a secret to other ninja, and only they can utilize it. The jutsu focus on the manipulation and control of their own shadow. Largely this revolves around one singular jutsu known as the Kage Mane or otherwise called Shaodw Imitation (see clan jutsu for more info), and this branches off into other various techniques. By Connecting their shadows to other shadows, they can cause the target to freeze by using chakra and the shadows as a medium for their control. When caught in this the opponent will mimic any movement the caster makes, but speech and thought remains independent. The opponents chakra system is also unaffected by this. Furthermore they can stretch their shadows a considerable length, up to 10m in total past its normal length, whatever that may be at the time by thinning the shadow out. This of course is not usable during the times of night. They can also use the shadows of other things to extend the length of their own by again using the shadows as a medium. They can not use lesser shadows for this, in other words, a shadow which is fainter then their own shadow, to extend it. Also it only extends by the length of the shadow it passed through and does not actually increase the size of their shadow.

Secret Clan Jutsu:
Name: Shadow Imitation
Rank: D
Type:Ninjutsu
Element:none
Description:Kage Mane no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique developed by the Nara clan. It's original purpose was as a skill to help delay any pursuers. After forming the needed hand seals, the clan member is able to manipulate their shadow along any surface. By using other nearby shadows they can further extend the reach of their shadow, however they are limited to the surface area of the original cast shadow. Once the clan members shadow reaches the target shadow, it will attach itself. While attached the target will be frozen, only able to replicate in mirror form the actions of the clan member. If the clan member is low on chakra, the Kage Mane will falter and the shadow will return to its normal form. This drains a D rank amount of chakra for every post that the target is kept with in it and escalates to a C rank amount or more if the opponent tries to fight it depending on the extent to which they attempt to fight it off.
Name: Shadow Neck Bind
Rank: C
Type:Ninjutsu
Element:none
Description:Kage Kubi Shibari no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique developed by the Nara clan. To perform the technique the clan member will first bind their target using the Kage Mane no Jutsu technique. Once the target can no longer move, they form the needed hand seal to initiate this technique. The clan member uses their shadow to form a hand which will creep up their opponents body to their neck. Once the hand reaches the neck, it will constrict in such a manner so as to strangle the opponent. However, the clan member will need to be careful. If their target has a lot of chakra, they can turn back the shadow hand and prevent it from binding their neck.
Clan Nara
Name: Shadow Imitation Shrunken

Element:none
Description: This technique utilizes specialized weapons which are able to absorb the users chakra and then take on the Nara clans ability to bind people via there shadow. By implanting the shadow chakra enhanced weapon into the shadow of the target, they will be frozen in place; just as if they were caught in one of the clan members extended shadow bindings. The length of time depends on how much chakra was placed into it. C rank- 2 post. B - 4 posts. A-7 Posts. S- 10 Posts. By increasing the number of weapons in the shadow you increase the number of posts they will remain frozen for.
Name: Shadow Sewing
Rank: C
Type:Ninjutsu
Element:none
Description:To perform the technique the user will first form the needed handseal to extend his shadow. The user will then change the handseal to cause the shadow to emerge from the ground in tendrils. The tendrils can extend and whip about and are strong enough to pierce nearby targets.
Name: Shadow Endgame
Rank: B
Type:Ninjutsu
Element:none
Description: Similar to the Shadow Sewing Technique, the user breaks their shadow into tendrils. Unlike the Shadow Sewing Technique, which exclusively ties down the opponent, the Shadow Endgame Technique's tendrils can grasp and manipulate objects. This gives the Shadow Endgame Technique a wide variety of uses. There are no hand seals used for this technique, but the hand movements resembles those used in Sand Binding Coffin.
History:
The Nara clan is known for their manipulation of shadows and tending of deer, which graze in a large area of Nara clan forest. They have kept a book with medicine preparations and effects for generations which imply they are skilled in the area of medicine. Among the medicine described in this book are the secret pills used by the Akimichi clan. Despite being considered geniuses, the men from this family are prone to being lazy and hard to motivate. Ironically, they tend to be attracted to stern, overbearing women. However, there appear to be other factors as well. The Nara men seem to hold women in high esteem, and as a result, willingly defer to their female partners. An old Nara quote states "Without women, men can't be born. Without women, men go to ruin. Even the hardest of women will show a sweet side to the man she loves and respects."
The Nara clan seems to have a special relationship with the Akimichi clan and Yamanaka clan. Members of these three families have formed an "Ino-Shika-Cho trio," quite often, named after the first part of the names of the members. The Nara members are the Shika in the trio. "Ino," "Shika" and "Cho" are the names of three cards needed for a highly prized trick of "Inoshikacho" in the Hanafuda
