Clan: Hari (玻)
Location: Yokuchi
Clan History: Long ago in the ruin village of Sunagakure lived a clan of artisan glass blowers famous for their work. For generations their fame and talent where the talk of the art world; even the least talented members of the clan churned out masterpieces that the taxes alone on could provide the entire budget for Suna for a month. They were the pride of a village that had long tried to make a name for itself outside of it's military might. Far away in the dying village of Iwagakure, a clan of Doton specialists was going disenchanted with the paranoia and growing return to an imperialist mindset among the leaders of their people. After the failed Invasion of Kusagakure, the clan looked around at the ruined village and like many of the smarter clans packed up and left.

The clan, like many of Iwa's Doton specialists, left for Suna. While the villages were not allied, the Doton users fit in well enough in Suna, and those willing to pledge allegiance were allowed to settle into the village.

It wasn't an instant friendship, the artisans and the Doton specialist met by chance. A member of the Doton clan decided that he wanted to learn to work with glass, but had little affinity for the art itself; however he was extremely effective at creating the basic glasses needed for industrial and residential uses. Several of his family members were recruited to do the same, and the first association between the clans began. Not long after, the first envoys were sent to Yokuchi; with them a small group of glass artisans and workers; several of both clans included. First cultural contact between the villages went well enough; but that meant little in the end. A few of the envoy members were asked to stay behind, and they agreed; wanting to learn the ways the Yokuchi glass makers worked. Gaining a bit of a foothold in the Desert Oasis proved to be the salvation of the clans; they summoned their members to come and participate in a special glass trade show not a week before Sunagakure was destroyed. Their peoples survived, and begged for sanctuary in the new village. Granted this, the two clans settled into the same compound; churning out artisan and industrial glass for a new village. Over the years, the two clans merged together, taking on a new name: Hari, simply meaning "Glass".

The development of Haton wasn't immediate; it was a skill that developed slowly over a few generations after the clans officially merged. Because of the make-up of the glass itself, the clan was able to use it's Doton skills to control the molten glass during the forming process; part of what allowed the artisans to create such amazing works of art, along with their inherent skills. The Hari clan was always split down the middle in a way, roughly half where ninja, the rest glass workers. It was one of the ninja that had some talent for the glass creation and such that first began to use glass in battle; almost by mistake. During a spar with a friend from outside the clan, he's scorched a bit of sand with a Katon jutsu and ended up breaking part of the natural glass away to use as a weapon. The idea was sparked, and one his relatives considered the idea; they were sold on it. From that point on, they nurtured ways to quickly create and control the unrefined natural glass; the very impurities that made it useless for art or industry made it perfect for them to control using a combination of their Doton chakra and knowledge of glass itself. Haton in it's current form was finished and refined within three generations; and the Hari clan took on the title of the Glass Ninja of Yokuchi.
Elements: Glass [Doton || Katon/Raiton]
Specialization: Ninjutsu || Weaponry Specialty (Taijutsu/Kenjutsu/Kyujutsu)
Kekkei Genkai: Haton [Glass Release]
Kekkei Genkai Description: The Hari clan has taken its experience working as glass artisans and the infusion of ninja arts to create Haton, Glass Release. By using Doton to create or control a source of appropriate earthen material, the application of Katon or Raiton is used to melt the material into natural glass. This glass is used like weaponry; molten material formed into any form they need and given razor sharp edges and points. Thick panes of the natural glass can be used to form barriers; and the molten glass itself makes for an effective weapon. On top of this, the training and focus on Doton needed to create sufficient material for the Haton Release grants the clan a + 1 Damage Power to all Non-Haton related Doton jutsu used by the clan.
Drawbacks: Because the glass must be created on scene to use in large quantities; the release itself is chakra heavy. Each and all Haton jutsu require double the normal chakra costs. Haton is weak to it's component elements; Doton and Raiton can shatter the glass, while Katon can cause it to melt. Because of this, all Doton, Raiton, and Katon jutsu cause One Rank higher damage against the Hari Clan and any Haton-created structures (barriers, walls, armors, etc). Kyujutsu also receives a +1 rank damage against Haton, due to the piercing effect of the projectiles being effective in shattering the glass. While considered a weapon specialty, the Hari clan only able to take Weapon Technician as a tertiary (3rd) specialty.
