Clan History
It all started when a demonic feline was attacking the newly created mist village. Most of the settlers were shinobi, but the demon was very strong. The war raged for 3 years off and on, before one brave shinobi – Nentoima Koharei – decided to use a strange justu he created. Nentoima Koharei was brave enough to sacrifice himself for the village. Koharei managed to seal the cat demon within him. He would have died but according to his account, Nekoharu saved the man due to his bravery.
Koharei was a village hero. The only people who were happier than him were his suitors. Nentoima was thankful that he had lived, not knowing what would happen in the long run. He had lived a very happy life till then not knowing that it would get better.
Koharei was able to call upon the chakra of Nekoharu at will, using it to further his strength. He was able to travel at the fastest of speeds, leaving little as a trail.
Eventually, Koharei had made many women happy and upset. Being young, he had taken any advantage he had. Being popular with the ladies made him popular with the men as a comrade, but in the end he ended up troubling himself more. The few women he was involved with had children… abnormal children. The children had the same eyes as the demon, the strength and stamina of the demon, and the overall look of the demon. Although they were not deformed many of their mothers despised them.
Koharei managed to whisk his children away when they were young teens but by then they had already had to hide or risk assassination attempts from other villagers due to misconception. The villagers believed their mothers, and took the young peoples to be the demon himself. To further hide themselves, these gifted children had taken on a new last name: Nekoki. This is still the name that the clan goes by today.
Koharei raised them till they were adults, and although they were hidden they led peaceful lives in the surrounding mountains. The few who possessed the power married and also had their own children; continuing the line. Koharei had been able to tell that none of his children or grand children possessed the power he did. One though, showed some promise.
After 3 generations the clan was large and strong, thriving in the forest. They were excellent ninjas and warriors. Although they were part of the Mist they never wore its hitai-ate, they also made up a government of their people. Through the expansion of their clan they were able to tell that few were actually gifted with the strength and power that Nekoharu offered. This was the way it went; every generation having one or two 'perfect' clan members.
The 'perfects' were what made up the "government" of the clan. They as a group made the choices and rulings on the clan members. These ruling people were picked out by their eyes. While the normal people had green cat eyes, these people had gold.
These golden eyed members had more of a 'link' to Nekoharu. They could run faster, fight longer, and heal quicker. They were an honest group that led their clan well. Some say it was due to the variety of ages within the group, others protest it was because there was a balance between male and female judgement. These rulers called themselves the 'Elite'.
The Elite were identified around the clans growing compound by their outfits. They would wear pure black. Their eyes would be the only source of colour.
When a small army from hidden valley came and attacked hidden mist, The Nekoki clan rose up and, exiled or not, defended its home village. By doing so, they regained the respect of everyone of the village. Without their help, hidden Mist wouldn't be on the map today.
This clan lasted for 7 generations before tragedy struck. A small assassination group was sent out to kill the powerful clan. The job was slowly done over three days. Only enough time to put the clan on high alert.
The Elite was disappearing quicker than anyone thought possible. Out of the 12 people they started out with, 5 remained; Nekoki Malei, Hameii, Rai, Kyudo and their youngest member; Yura. (See Yura)
These members fought hard, but their efforts were futile. The only remaining Nekoki alive were Mai, Touyi, Yura, and Shou; One small family. Mai and Touyi fought to protect their 10 year old daughter and six-month old son. Yura was holding her baby brother, she had been ordered not to fight by here parents. By doing so, she watched as her family was slain in front of her.
This was the point when Orochimaru showed up. Orochimaru was the one who finished off the assassins, saving the two children. These two were moved away from the mist, into seclusion.
They moved to a small village outside of Konoha, where they continued to live to today.
Physical Features
The Nekoki clan has very pale skin, and midnight black hair. Most of the clan has greenish cat eyes. The people with yellow cat eyes are few and far between, these being the chosen few of Nekoharu. The clan is collectively tall and lean, although there will be the odd podgy person.
YURA
Nekoki Yura has been placed under a lot of pressure through out her life. Being part of the Elite, and raising her brother are only a few. This is her current life story:
Yura was born in the spring to Nekoki Mai, and Touyi. Her parents named their precious child Nekoki Haruko Yura, Haruko meaning child of spring. It was obvious from the beginning that Yura was different. The girl had golden cat eyes which placed her in the Elite, but not only that, the gold was rimmed with black. The only other person known to have black rimmed eyes was their ancestor Nentoima Koharei (Nekoki Koharei).
Still she seemed normal enough. Her parents sent her to their academy when she was very little and it was there where they found the truth.
Yura learned quicker than many of the other pupils, she also had a knack for remembering everything as well. Her speed was unbeatable. There was only one problem. Yura had a major problem controlling her chakra. It seemed to always get away from her, causing her to look weaker. It wasn't until one of the older children in her class gat her mad enough did they learn that she had two chakra types.
Just like Nentoima Koharei, Yura had direct access to Nekoharu's chakra. It took her years to learn how to master both types. When she got mad the chakra would get away and Nekoharu's chakra would surround her. If she was in danger, the chakra would flare up as well, protecting her from any type of danger.
When she was ten, Yura was strong enough to receive the rank of Jounin. Even though she had been attending Elite meetings when she was six, Yura now spent most of her time working with the Elite. She'd completed 13 A-rank missions in less then four years along with 5 S-rank missions.
When Yura witnessed her clan's demise, her spirit was crushed along with the tiny bit of herself being able to care for anyone but her brother. Alone, she was left to defend her six month old brother Shou. As the assassins approached her, Yura froze. She felt powerless to defeat the few remaining. To herself, she was a failure. Orochimaru was the one who saved them.
She thought about moving and acted on her instincts. Taking Shou, their few possessions, and the clan's vast fortune, they traveled to a small village outside Konoha. There she raised her brother; all the while trying to get stronger because she didn't want to be a failure. She learned so many medical jutsus so that if someone she cared about got hurt, she could've saved them. Soon, she surpassed Tsunade (Konoha's Fifth Hokage) in medical knowledge.
Yura's history so far is full of pain. She acts boisterous and hyperactive to hide her pain, unlike Naruto its not for attention. Other than her typical problematic features (hyperactivity, and bouts of sadness) Yura acts like the typical teenage girl.
