Hikariton (Bloodline)

## Traitors to the Crown

Light Release (光遁, Hikariton; “Light Release” ) is the advanced nature Kekkei Genkai of the Nagadera clan, and allows the users to combine lightning- and fire-based Chakra to weave light-based Ninjutsu through the power of Utu, the light God. The Nagadera clan hails from the Moon Country, from which they fled after the founder killed the head of the military in a fight. For many years they avoided establishing any cultural hubs in any of the main Villages, instead living quietly as travelers. Most of the older generation of clan members strictly forbids participation in the military, but this is slowly changing. Those few who are active members of the military tend to stick to crowd control rather than engage the enemy directly in combat.

## Nagadera Traits

* All Hikariton users have Raiton [ Lightning ] and Katon [ Fire ] as Chakra elements.
* All Hikariton techniques provide blindness at the rankings listed in the Status and Poison System.
* Hikariton users never suffer any visual detriments due to their own Kōton techniques.
