The **Daakuribon Clan** (ダーク緒一族) is a large and infamous clan originating in Kirigakure easily identified by the red dot markings on their cheeks. The clan is known to span across all the nations, but is in higher density inside and surrounding Kirigakure. Many of its members tend to be workers of the night, which may be the cause of its contempt.

## Overview

The members of this clan specialize in Water and Earth techniques, as well as an inherent closeness with nature as a whole. Members are more likely to wield better crops because of this, which explains their abundance. Another reason for it is often linked to the plethora of rampant cheating as well as prostitution rings. Even the current Matriarch, Faia Daakuribon, has had more than her fair share of adultery-induced publicity. The clan symbol for this clan is a simplified rose enclosed in a circle, which can symbolize both the clan's connection with nature and "passion."

Over the years, different dynasties ruled the clan. Currently, the Kuroyuri Dynasty is in charge, with Faia Daakuribon as its current Matriarch.

## Abilities

The Daakuribon clan does not have many distinct abilities, as most being a member really only gives one a natural affinity for Water and Earth Releases. However, there is an incredibly rare Kekkei Genkai known as the Sakuretsuhana (炸裂花), or "Explosive Flower." At the moment, there is only one living wielder of this Kekkei Genkai: Haruka Hyuuga.

Sakuretsuhana gives the user the ability to both create and manipulate flowers that can be sharper than an obsidian knife. For example, the Flower Shuriken Jutsu: the user summons sharp flowers and throws them in place of shuriken. These flowers can also detonate, as in the Burst of Petals Technique, where the flowers explode as well as expel poisonous spores.

## Appearance

Generally, members have dark red hair and pupil-less yellow irises. Diagonally below their eyes are red dots for markings. Typically, members will wear traditional Japanese clothing, such as Kokoro's yukata. There is usually a sort of "shinobi alteration" on the garments, though, if the member is a ninja. That way, they may move freely.

There is a legend in the clan that the more powerful one is, the less that they appear to age. This arises from the late Lady Kuroyuri, who looked as though she never aged. Even in her forties, she still looked 20.

## Leaders

**Kuroyuri Daakuribon** - the strongest of the Daakuribon, as well as the most famous. Rebel-affiliated.

**Faia Daakuribon** - current leader. Loyalist.

## Trivia

* The name "Daakuribon" can have two meanings depending on the writing: The original way, Daakuribon (ダーク緒), can mean simply "dark ribbon," while another popular way of writing the name, Dakuribon (抱く緒), can mean "embracing ribbon" or "having sex ribbon," which is a jab at the popularity of adultery and sex work within the clan.
* Lady Kuroyuri Daakuribon was born in Takigakure, but moved to Kirigakure before she could even walk. Takigakure's Daakuribon claims this as a win for them.
* This clan is a Matriarchy, but men do hold some high positions and there are several male elders.
* Most members are named after flowers, with some exceptions: Faia (ファイア) means "fire", and Kokoro (心), whose name means "heart," or "mind."
