History and Outside Information:
The Shirokami branched off of the Inuzuka Clan, so similarities and a thick rivalry remain present to the current day. Teruda Shirokami was the stubborn 'runt of the litter' in his family, he was the youngest of a total of six other siblings. Teruda had grown tired of always being one upped by his siblings due to being older and much more experienced. But above that, most of them had obviously come of age much before him and received their canine partners that they would, in a sense, become one with. Teruda still lacked the power to be gained from a companion, which was what the Inuzuka's were known for. Even though he was to come of age himself someday, the boy simply could not wait. He learned how to do everything by himself, taught himself all the secrets of the clan, and physically became just as strong as any of his siblings with canine partners. Not to mention, he succeeded in a transformation jutsu all on his own, without the help of some mutt. Of course, he practiced all of this in secret, knowing that if anyone caught him, he'd more than be punished by his mother and father. When the day came that he would come of age and receive his partner, Teruda declined his right, shocking all of his family members and clansmen. To add even more to this shock, Teruda renounced himself from the Inuzuka Clan and declared that he was a 'lone wolf', and thus he became Teruda Shirokami, founder of the clan. From that moment on, Teruda was shunned by the entire Inuzuka clan. But it didn't matter to him. After that, he left Konoha entirely and became a rogue ninja, aspiring to spreading the influence of his clan and perfecting it.

The Shirokami are basically 'lone wolf' versions of the Inuzuka's. They do not have canine companions that are connected to them so they pull off their jutsu's alone. The Shirokami still appear to be somewhat feral, just like the Inuzuka's and have very similar traits and fighting styles. They also share the same heightened canine senses, making them excellent at tracking down fleeing enemies, captured allies, or certain plants or animals in the wilderness. Member's of the Shirokami clan are typically bright people with an overly independent attitude. Which in turn can lead to recklessness, stubbornness, poor teamwork, closed mindedness, or a full out “Do it yourself” attitude. Friendly team players do occur, in which case, they are the more under a 'pack mentality', which is actually proven to be a recessive trait in the Shirokami gene pool. Other genetic traits of the clan include a very high reduction of Chakra usage for Transformation Jutsu's, allowing them to stay in their canine forms for many hours, even days if out of combat. Overall, the Shirokami are known for their transformations. Some false rumors are spread that they had actually descended from wolves and became dreaded man eating werewolves. For a clan to be so young, it fills their pride to know that mother's today tell their children tales of their kind when they are bad or refuse to go to sleep at night.

But being a fairly recent clan, genetic information is very delicate so typically a member would try to look for a partner within the clan, unless impossible due to the lack of different separate families within the clan. In which case, Shirokami's never marry other ninja, and go for typical everyday citizens. This way, traits of their kind are not mixed with others. Of course, in these instances, the child's strength at birth is only half that of his or her wolf like parent's, but is easily worked back up to par with years of training, and can exceed if one trains hard enough. Shirokami know of these risks, but gladly take it over cross breeding with longer standing ninja clans due to their stubbornness. They like their clan the way it is and they want to keep it that way, at any cost.

The clan itself officially came to be in The Hidden Leaf, but actual clansmen were and still are born and raised in The Hidden Rock, seeing as that was where Teruda Shirokami had finally settled down. Despite the origination, a Shirokami usually prefers Earth Style Jutsu's though other elements are more than possible. Iwagakure may be the village in which they reside, but the clan is very proud and only has interests and loyalty for themselves and their clansmen. Even some people within the clan don't always get a long with each other, mostly due to dominance issues. When the going gets rough though, the Shirokami can pull through and work together perfectly like a true pack of wolves. Instead of living in the homes within the city, the entire clan lives within the caves of the mountains surrounding The Hidden Rock, usually sticking to the areas that are less elevated so that they have easy access to the city.


Jutsu Name: Urufu no Kurōru (Crawling Wolf)
Jutsu Description: The user transforms into his or her standard wolf form. Looks like any other wolf, but the size varies from anywhere to only a quarter times more the size of a real wolf to being at about shoulder height to a nearly 6 foot tall human. Senses of hearing and smell are heightened, making invisible foes clear as day. Speed also increases greatly. And at the expense of weapons, claws and teeth are more than a formidable replacement.

Jutsu Grade: A
Stamina Cost: 20

Jutsu Name: Tatsu Urufu (Standing Wolf)

Jutsu Name: Jigoku no ōkami Raijinguda (Wolf of Hell's Rising)
Jutsu Description: The highest form available to a Shirokami, where the user becomes a giant blood thirsty werewolf, standing at about twice the size of a full grown man. Overall, a very dangerous form. All Jutsu and Weapon using capabilities are sacrificed in order to empower the user with immense physical strength as well as a pretty awe striking form that has a chance at lowering the basic defenses of the enemy.

Jutsu Grade: S
Stamina Cost: 35


Name: Arufa no Puremashī (Alpha's Supremacy)

Description: A powerful Dojutsu that's passed down only through the head branch of the Shirokami, or a select few (To any of those who wish to apply for this clan). However, the power remains dormant and is only able to be used by the Alpha (Or any applied player who wishes to use it). Once activated, the eye's of the user become golden amber in color and a lot more wolf like in appearance. In later stages, this may also have in effect in other aspects of physical appearance. Overall, this state gives the user supernatural senses as well as some opportunities to lower the opponents stats.

Type: Mixed Senses

Founder: Itsuei Shirokami (4th Generation Alpha)

Stage 1: Ōkami no Mimi (Ear of the Wolf): The Shirokami's rather normal looking ears sharpen up top and flatten a little more against the head, allowing them to pick up enemy movement that can not usually be seen, as well as giving them a more feral appearance. Invisible enemies are able to be 'seen' clear as day if they still make even slight noises that exceed heavy steps or fiddling around in a pouch.

Stage 2: Ōkami no Hana (Nose of the Wolf): The nose of the user doesn't physically transform into anything in particular, but at the same time, some other things change at this point, such as a slight growth of body hair, claws, and fangs. The nose takes on an important part of now being able to 'see' what the ears could not pick up before. Smell can be just as deadly because there is no real way to mask one's scent unless countered with the setting off of some matter of explosive. This renders invisible enemies even more helpless, but not much else.

Stage 3: Ōkami no Me (Eye of the Wolf): Eyes become golden amber and wolf like in appearance, allowing the vision of an animal. Able to see in the dark primarilly but also can view things from farther distances, increasing accuracy with ranged weapons. These eyes are also pretty scary if looked at for too long, causing a 'fear' effect that may lower one's reaction time, accuracy, and basic defenses. This form of sight may not pick up invisible opponents, but with the combination of the above two, they can still be found rather easilly.


None as of right now.
