ONOKI CLAN

The Onoki are well-known as THE CREATORS OF IWAGAKURE, having inhabited the land SINCE BEFORE THE WARRING STATES PERIOD. Though they did not have any Hiden or Kekkei Genkai to speak of, the CONTROL they possessed over the land and its resources, as well as the MASSIVE NUMBERS they had, meant that few could contest their rule without great consequence. The FIRST NOMINATED TSUCHIKAGE would be from this clan. 

Over the years, the dynamic would shift, and a divide would form between ROYAL ONOKI and COMMON ONOKI. There is virtually little difference between the two, though higher-ranking Onoki will set themselves apart by shaving their heads.

All Onoki are known to have GREAT ENDURANCE to go with their stocky frames. This parallels the HEADSTRONG, STUBBORN ATTITUDE that many have, with some believing it comes from their deeper connection to the Earth element.
