The Uzunirah Clan

Uzunirah Bloodline/Clan:
The clan specialized in wind-based jutsu, so skilled and dangerous with it that even Lady Temari would've paled in comparison to the youngest members of the clan. But that wasn't what the clan was famous and feared for. Each member, usually at some point during their adolescence years, were visited during their slumber by one of their ancient ancestors. During their dream the ancestors would test them on various things, most importantly on the path they were leaning on and most likely to choose. After the dream is over, the following day that member would wake to find a sword (that appeared spiritually during their sleep) laying right beside him or her. This would be their "Ōdachi", meaning "Great/Sacred Sword".

Origin: Sunagakure

Kekkei Genkai: Ōdachi
After the sword is touched by the person who dreamt of their ancestor, the Ōdachi is there with its chosen master for life, never leaving its master's side unless the master chooses to. The design of the scappard and the blade its self depended on the master's physical self and personality though the blade could later take on different forms, that's something I'll elaborate more on later. The Ōdachi was also unusable........or shall I say untouchable to anybody's hand beside it's master. One touch by a stranger on the tsuka(handle) of the blade would trigger the tsuka itself to react by sending a surge of electric-like waves through the person's body, continuily doing so 'til he or her falls unconscious or is pulled away.
But let's move on to the true power of this kekkei genkai. Upon receiving an Ōdachi, he or she has to complete an important obstacle in order to fully fight with it. They must once again meet the very same ancestor (commonly while dreaming again or the more effective, most rewarding, but difficult self-imposed hypnosis.) and ask them to reveal the true name to their Ōdachi. Knowing the name of their Ōdachi is critically vital if they truelly wish to master it. Once he or she learned the true name of their Ōdachi, they would not only be knowned as full-fledged members to the clan, but they would also be open to great power also.

On an extra note, the spirit of each person's Ōdachi is one of a kind, each with their own personalities and level of power to lend to their master.

Initial Stage/Shikaze(Initial Wind Release): The stage attained once knowing the name of his or hers Ōdachi. When the user says the name of his Ōdachi, the Ōdachi itself begins to glow a dim glow of white chakra. Seconds later, the Ōdachi itself begins to pulse. Each pulse travels through the user's body and increases his or hers speed, strength, senses, and manipulation of wind to a small extent as the battle progresses.
Risks: After use the user feels light-headedness and feels slightly tired afterwards.

Mid Stage?/Final Stage?/Tenshikaze(Angelic Wind Release): The exceptionally skilled and experienced Uzunirah are known to achieve this stage. After activating the first stage, the user looks deep inside his or herself and must channel their chakra to it's very core. While doing this for the first time, the user must have extreme control, not letting go of the concentration and channeling of chakra for even a second or the whole process is broken and the user has to start over. Once the user's chakra is channeled and concentrated in the core at a certain high density, the user must close their eyes and travel by spirit to the core. Once at the core, the user's spiritual being would unite itself with it and the concentrated chakra would be released, sending a sensational surge through the user's body and through the Ōdachi itself. The Ōdachi begins to grow brightly and slowly takes a new, powerful form. The user his or herself is also changed. Their speed, strength, senses, and manipulation have risen to an exceptional level. Once succesfully attained, this stage would be second-nature to the user, not being difficult like the first time.
Risks: The same risks from the first kai release are applied but there is a greater extent. The user also has a limit when using this form, 5 hours at most, If the user exceeds this limit however they're in danger of shortening their lifespan.

Final Stage?/Shinikaze(Death Wind Release): This stage is legendary and little is known about it. Though there's no record of any actual Uzunirah attaining this state, there are legends and myths that reference it in the Old Uzunirah Clan books. Legend has it,

"Only those of opened hearts, those who travel the path of tears without fear, those pure with the blood of atleast one of the given, could walk the path of the Kais, and forever wield the newly found Blade of Judgement to smite his adversaries."

Risks: Though not proven to exist, historians and scholars have debated and predicted on the risks of such an enormously powered state. They estimate that the longest time available to maintain the form without having the user's body in a life shortening state is 1 hour at most. Maybe even less. Unfortunately, the risks doesn't stop there. If time limit is exceeded, the user's chakra system may become eratic and if it gets out of control too much, the body of the user may shut down, resulting in death. And there's one more and though this risk doesn't involve death, the user faces the possibility of losing something more meaningful. His/hers identity. During the moments when the user exceeds the limit and his/her chakra begins to become eratic, there hold on their Ōdachi begins to weaken. If this continues, the user faces the possibility of losing their very own body.................to the spirit of their very own Ōdachi.

Title of Head Clan Member: Kazegami(Wind God)
