Clan: Sabure

Location: Yokuchi (Scattered)

Clan History: Though never considered as one of the Sage clans, the Sabure have been around for hundreds of years. The clan was originally founded in Suna by Makai. He was a man that was known for leading with an iron fist, while at the same time he was also known for his gentle guiding hand. He was a man that wanted to see his clan strive to be all that it could; and was willing to ensure that this appened by any means necessary.

The clan continued like this throughout the generations, beginning to grow and strengthen. Almost from the very beginning the clan was known for their sand usage. While most in the clan took a more passive use with it; using it much like a shield, others created jutsu to use it as a weapon. More and more members of the clan began to pick up on these violent acts and in a way it caused what in the clan is always cause for debate: a curse or a blessing, depending on how you looked at it.

The clan began to have a passive ability with the sand. It naturally molded itself around their forms like a shield. While this was great in combat it began to cause a drastic lowering of their natural taijutsu abilities. Meaning, that anyone who could get in close enough, fast enough, would be able to land  devastating hits.

Many more years would pass with this continuing to happen; and because of such the clan began to start an almost ritual like training for their children. Two years into their children being born they were taken from their parents and brought to a privately hidden school to be trained in the arts of sand. Their way of attempting to counter this lack of physical defense.

The children were always returned to their parents about the age of five, unless they were one of
the few that showed incredible promise; those were the children that were kept longer to undergo advanced, and sometimes painful, training.

When Suna was attacked, and destroyed, they played a big part in being the reason so many members had survived; using their shields to the best of their abilities to protect those they could reach.

When Yokuchi was build upon the ruins of Suna the clan played a large part in helping, and because of this were able to keep a large chunk of their lands and their private schools.

Elements: Sand

Specialization: Ninjutsu

Kekkei Genkai: Zettai Bōgyo (Absolute Defense)

Kekkei Genkai Description:Each member of the Sabure clan has a passive ability that allowed for the natural defensive control of sand. The sand must be bought and carried; and cannot be regenerated from an outside source; unless within the sands of their desert home. In order to regenerate their sand from the Yokuchi desert sands; the user must pay 10 chakra per pound of sand, and send 1 post infusing the sand with their chakra.

What Zeitai Bogyo is capable of blocking against (for Taijutsu and Kenjutsu) depends on the rank of the clan member and the person they're up against:
D - Can block 50% damage from D-rank jutsu
C - Can block D ranked attacks and lower.
B - Can block C ranked attacks and lower.
A - Can block B ranked attacks and lower.
S - Can block A ranked attacks and lower

Drawbacks:The clan is only able to control the sand that they carry; without it the clan cannot use sand-based jutsu. The clan has very little if any physical skill; and as such take a -2 rank and power to all Taijutsu and Kenjutsu. All Taijutsu and Kenjutsu that manages to hit them is boosted by +1 power; meaning that it hits them with the power of an attack one rank higher then it normally is. The clan's speed is severly cut when using their sand defence, as it is extreme heavy. Because of the this; the clansmen move with the speed of a ninja 1 rank lower then their own rank so long as the defence is active.
