Inuzuka Famliy

The Inuzuka Family (犬塚家, Inuzuka-ke) is a family of shinobi in Konohagakure known for their use of ninken as fighting companions and are easily identified by the distinctive red fang markings on their cheeks.

Influence: The Inuzuka has very little political influence in the village. Being both the youngest of the clans and often seen as ‘wild beasts’ due to their nature and bond with the canine, it is very rare for an Inuzuka to climb the political ranks of the village.

History

According to their own legends, the Inuzuka were born of the wish of a single hunter. He spent months hunting a legendary beast known as a White Stag, and when he finally caught it, the beast made him a deal. If the hunter released him, the Stag would grant him a single wish. Complying with the request, the hunter wished for the strength and ability to hunt like the beasts of the forest, like the wolves. His wish granted, the man not only went through physical changes, he also made friends with a canine who would become like a blood brother to him, hunting at his side for all his days. This legend is the origin story of the Inuzuka, this man the founder.
