Age of Clan: Records indicate the appearance of this clan from very early history in the Land of Earth.
Village of Origin: Iwagakure

History: One of the earliest known clans started off as little more than a single family with a strong power-base before the founding of Iwagakure, long into the history of Earth Country. Known for strong warriors but little else, they began to amass power not by focusing on the development of techniques or having ancestry with strange powers. Rather, they ensured that only the strong were allowed to pass on their genes to the next generation. Strict controls were put in place that would outcast the weak and enforce strength was the only virtue those within should strive for.

While many noble families wanted to keep their blood 'pure' they often fell into a trap of incest and horrific genetic anomalies. Not so for the Shura clan, as they made such things highly profane. Instead, they went outside the family group and scouted for only the most powerful and beneficial of suitors were brought in. Through generations of this process, the clan found new power. Born with the potential to go beyond normal human limits.

As founders of Iwagakure, and the first Tsuchikage. They set in stone their dominance over Earth country and, in an action that was condemned among the other villages. The Shura clan lead a coup against the Earth Daimyo of the time, setting off the first Ninja War. Eventually, peace was brought about with the entire country coming under the Clan's rule. With the title of Shogun bestowed upon it's leader, and a Daimyo for each quadrant. Making them possibly the most powerful family of shinobi on the face of the planet.

Kekkai Genkai: The Selective Bloodline

KG Description: Since the very early inception of the Shura clan, it’s members have been paired with warriors of immaculate skill or owners of rare and powerful abilities. The weak and sickly are cast out at birth, and should they manage to survive to adulthood are prevented from spreading their weakness to the next generation. With this program of enforced eugenics spanning back several centuries, all known Shura alive could be considered the pinnacle of the human race when it comes to pure physiology. They tend to be stronger, faster and smarter than the ordinary man from birth and beyond. A clan that was genetically engineered for combat.
