The Yuzuki (From Japanese 優 (yu) "gentleness, superiority" and 月 (zuki) "moon") clan has a long tradition in Takigakure, the Village Hidden Beneath the Waterfall. Founded long ago when an immigrant form Konohagakure settled in Takigakure, the Yuzuki clan is descended from both the Kekkei Genkai of the lunar-based Zuki tribe (Now completely integrated into the Yuzuki) and the hidden shadow techniques of the Nara Clan. Through the centures the shadow manipulation that originated from the techniques of the Nara were lost, but replaced by a variation of the style, still utilizing the control of shadow in combination with the rare dojutsu of the Yuzuki eyes.
