Clan History: The Kumori Clan was one of the first clans to reside in Kumogakure. During the early years of the village, the Kumori Clan was considered to be the most powerful clan in Kumogakure. The clan was superior to every other clan residing within the village in strength, as well as the amount living members. Unfortunately, as generations passed, the clan gradually lost its superiority. There were exactly fourteen living members of the clan once Ikazuchi was born, making Ikazuchi the last member to ever have been born into the clan.

When Kumogakure was still young, the clan owned a small residential district. As was needed for the clan, the district had many houses. However, as Kumogakure grew in population, the Kumori Clan was reducing in members. During the time of Sandaime Raikage, the clan downsized, selling off their district to Kumogakure, and used some of that money to build a residential building for the clan’s inhabitants.

Elder Hanjibo, who was Kazaharku’s father, was once the leader of the Kumori Clan. But when his son Kazaharku inherited Tenraigan, he stepped down, placing Kazaharku as the new leader of the clan. As his last decision before he passed on his authority, he ordered that no one was permitted to discuss Tenraigan, unless in a clan meeting, or with the current leader of the clan’s permission. This rule was created to protect the secrets of Tenraigan from becoming well known throughout the world. When Kazaharku died, Elder Hanjibo reclaimed authority of the clan. When Kiseido Yuto killed everyone in the clan, with the exceptions of Yasuto and Ikazuchi, Yasuto would become the new leader for the next two years until he also died. Now the last Kumori alive, Ikazuchi is recognized as the leader of the fallen clan.

According to legend, the Kumori Clan was chosen by, “Denkou no Tenshu” (Literally meaning, “God of Lightning”) to be the absolute masters above all at performing Raiton techniques. It is said that Denkou no Tenshu then transformed the chakra in every living member of the Kumori Clan into a much more godly force. The chakra seemed normal, but when performing Raiton techniques, instead of the generated electricity being the normal color of blue, it was a dark-purple color. Thus, they owned the Kekkei Genkai soon known as, “Nekurai” (Literally meaning, “Dark-Natured Lightning”). To insure that the Kumori Clan would be the masters of Raiton techniques, the chakra also gave them each an affinity for performing Raiton element techniques. It is said that Denkou no Tenshu made their generated electricity a dark purple color instead of blue, to symbolize his presence among the Kumori Clan.

It is also said, that when a Kumori proves himself worthy to Denkou no Tenshu by becoming incredibly strong, he will bless that Kumori by granting him the powers of, “Tenraigan” (Literally meaning, “Divine Eye”). This is the second, and an extremely rare Kekkei Genkai of the clan. Throughout history, only three Kumori Clan members have ever possessed it. Kumori Gendurai, who was the first to have this power, lived when Shodai Raikage served. He inherited these eyes at the age of Thirty-One years and mastered all of its abilities by age Thirty-Three. When he was the age of Thirty-Five years, he performed the “Rakurai” (Literally meaning, “Bolt of Lightning”) technique while in battle. It was a fatal mistake for him, because he had already used the same technique six days prior to that. It was later discovered, that “Rakurai” is forbidden to use but once every seven days. Instead of summoning a bolt of lightning sent by Denkou no Tenshu, Gendurai’s eyes were immediately vaporized, being instantly burned from his eye sockets. Because of this, he died a painful death shortly afterwards.

The second to ever inherit these eyes was Ikazuchi’s father, Kumori Kazaharku who lived when Sandaime Raikage and Yondaime Raikage served. He inherited these same eyes at the age of Twenty-Three years old. By age Twenty-Five, he mastered all of its abilities, including, “Rakurai.” Ikazuchi, who was the last to inherit these eyes, inherited them at the young age of Nineteen years. Ikazuchi had mastered all of Tenraigan’s abilities a year later at the age of Twenty years. Because of this, Ikazuchi is definitely the strongest Kumori to ever arise from the clan.
