Village: Konohagakure
Description of Limit: Power to control shadows. Clan members use this power to primarily hinder opponents from moving. Also, the shadows can be twisted and moved into any direction. The downfall of this bloodline is that the range is limited to the overall surface area of shadows that the user is in contact with. Due to the difference in chakra required to perform shadow manipulation Nara techniques can not physically be learned by non-clan members, however this also limits the Nara to a single elemental affinity.
History: The Nara clan is known for their manipulation of shadows and tending of deer, which graze in a large area of Nara clan forest. The Nara line has kept tomes with medicine preparations and effects for generations. Among the medicines described in this book are the secret pills used by the Akimichi clan. The men from this family are very lazy and tend to be attracted to overbearing women.
In game Stats:
Can only choose one elemental affinity.
Jutsu List:
Kagemane no Jutsu (Shadow Bind Technique)
A skill that originally was used as a delaying tactic, the user is able to control an opponent's movement by connecting his shadow to theirs. The user's shadow is able to move, extend and change shape, but it must maintain the same surface area as the original. Any shadows between the user and opponent can be used to increase the total surface area, thus allowing the user's shadow to extend further than normal. The technique is also known as the Shadow Imitation Skill (Kage Shibari no Jutsu). This jutsu does not harm the ninja using it when their opponent is harmed, unless they're harmed by an outside force. Distortions to the overall shape of either the target or the Nara (if they can maintain the jutsu) can harm the other party, such as breaking an arm. Punctures to the skin however do not transfer between the Nara and the target.

Kagemane Shuriken no Jutsu (Shuriken Shadow Imitation Technique)
By infusing the blades with his own chakra beforehand, they are given the effect of his shadow techniques. By using these weapons to pierce the enemies' shadows, they are paralyzed in place. To pierce the shadow, it is necessary to avoid the target just barely. Since it is more difficult for the enemy to notice it, this ninjutsu compensates for the weak point of the similar Shadow Imitation Technique, being its limited effective range.

Kage Nui no Jutsu (Shadow Sewing Technique)
The user changes the shape of their shadow into several sharp needles and controls each separately. They can then attack several targets simultaneously and at the same time snatch away their ability to move by sewing them stuck with the shadow threads. Because it is a physical attack, it is impossible to capture someone without harming them, but on the other hand, since the speed of invocation and the time of duration are excellent, it can be used when urgent restraint is required. After this technique hits someone, it can then be directly transformed back into the Shadow Imitation Technique.
