Learn about the Arashikage Clan

Arashikage Ninja Clan Background
For thousands of years, the Arashikage ninja clan has wielded its swords – and power – in the shadows of history. Warriors, mystics, guardians; they are all of these and much more.  As warriors, they commit themselves to a cause and defend it to their last breath. As mystics, they expand the boundaries of their minds, bodies and spirits to achieve new levels of understanding, skill and enlightenment. As guardians, they protect those who are threatened by the forces of evil.

Arashikage Ninja Training
Arashikage students are brought into the clan when they are very young. They dedicate themselves to years of rigorous training to develop their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual skills.  An Arashikage student is marked with the outline of a distinctive tattoo on the right forearm that is filled in as certain levels of proficiency are achieved. Only a student who has completed the training may receive the mark of the ninja.

Arashikage Ninja Skills
You will never see Arashikage ninjas unless they choose to be seen. Invisibility and silent movement are two of the arcane skills they have mastered. They are experts with all the weapons ninjas command: swords, daggers and throwing stars. The katana is their premier weapon; they must train until they and their sword are one, and the sword has become an extension of their arm, moving with instinctive fluidity and grace.
