Jotozo Clan

The Jotozo are a clan of nobles that live within Amegakure. They possess the rare kekkei genkai, Steel Release. Throughout their history they have used this kekkei genkai in conjunction with their abilities as smiths, allowing them to create legendary weapons of such complexion that would normally be impossible.
==History==
Hundreds of years before the advent of the Manifestation, the Jotozo were a nomadic clan which held their origins west of the known shinobi world. They were a tribe with no home, offering their services as smiths to make ends meet. While not much is known about what brought them to the shinobi world, what is known is that they possess a tale handed down through the generations by tongue. They called it "The Doom", a cataclysmic event that seems to have happened at a time near the Manifestation.
This forced the Jotozo to travel far beyond their lands until they eventually reached the shinobi world. From there, accounts are confused and even muddled to where and what the Jotozo did. A great diaspora occurred, one which saw many of the Jotozo to split apart and become lost in different parts of the world. The largest gathering continued to travel until they reached the Land of Clouds. They started from nothing, but as time went on they would have everything to gain. They were admirable, trusted, and their weapons never broke. While they chose no sides in the coming wars, they were always the first to broker peace between other ninja clans. Those who asked for weapons, the Jotozo could always provide. 
As their standing grew, so did their power. Their work continued and their products became more common around the Cloud. The Jotozo were considered strong allies, and they were a welcome addition to any clan.
Now, after generations spent in the Land of Clouds, the Jotozo have amassed a small amount of wealth and have become top-rate ninja. When news came that the five greatest countries were creating hidden villages, the Jotozo were the first to propose a hidden village for the Land of Clouds. It was well-recieved by most, as they had no reason to not trust the smithing clan. So together with the power of some of the other strongest clans in the nation, they created Amegakure.
