Kekkei Genkai:

There are several traits of this clan that are unique to them. The
first trait is what they consider to be their actual kekkei genkei, the
part of the clan that no other shinobi in the world could copy
completely. This eye, also called the "Meikyuugan" or the "Labyrinth
Eye". It was given its name because of the method in which the clan
member trains to master it(See Clan Training, Clan Information). The
Meikyuugan grants the user the ability to see through walls and other
solid objects as if they were not actually there. This technique gives
the user a very powerful advantage while fighting in places like
buildings, mazes, or forests. They also have the ability to pass
through a solid object if they can maintain contact with that object
for more than seven seconds. This means that they could not use the
technique to go through attacks, but they can use it to pass through
walls and trees. This ability can only be used in short bursts, meaning
that they could get through a wall but not a mountain. If they
attempted something like this they would revert back into their
physical form underneath the mountain, and be crushed. Another trait
that they find to be unique to them is their mastery over the element
of earth. Their expertise with this element is said to be rivalled by
no other clan's, except for their branch clan the Yamaguchi. However,
they have forsaken the use of any other element, so no member in the
clan may have an element other than the element of earth. It is ironic
that the clan members would have a kekkei genkei based solely on
intangibility, and yet excel in the most solid of the elements.

History and Members
History:
Birth of a Nation:
The Cretonis clan was birthed at the same
time as the formation of Iwagakure no Sato. In fact, its founder was
made one of the founding ANBU Captains, along with several other
shinobi. The group of nomadic shinobi had stuck together, perfecting
the genetic mutation that was their own, for centuries. However, with
no home to call their own they felt they couldn't call themselves a
true clan. When the Stone village was formed, Daisuke Cretonis brought
together all of the nomads. He told them that Iwagakure was their new
home, and that they would finally make a name for themselve's. They all
took on his own surname, Cretonis, so that they could basically
validate the fact that they were now a true shinobi clan. At first the
clan attempted to work things out democratically, everyone had a say as
to what went on in the village and the only task of the Leader was the
be a diplomat between the village and the clan, and to make sure no one
killed another clan member during their many debates. After fifty years
of this process, Daisuke realized the clan would not last under such a
system. So, while on his deathbed, he asked his successor to change all
of it. He made it his dying wish that the clan form a counsel of elites
who would rule over the entire clan. Daisuke's son would present this
idea to the people, but they didn't like it. However, even though they
disliked the idea, they respected Daisuke's wisdom and foresight, and
eventually agreed to do as he said.

Formation of the Elites:
The
Cretonis would meet under a democratic rule one last time. In this
meeting they would decide on seven candidates to be the first of the
counsel. From that day forward, only the first born child of
descendants of those seven men and women would be able to join the
counsel. Other descendants were given high rankings in the clan, but no
authoritative powers. The Cretonis seemed to have no problem with the
nobleman's rule, as they seemed fair and uncorrupted. Their offspring
would grow up as diplomats, not shinobi; this infuriated the clan,
however. How could someone they could so easily kill without using even
a jutsu rule over them? They were angry, frustrated, and rebellious.
The noblemen tried handling it diplomatically, because that was what
they were trained to do, but in the end would fail completely.

A minor Ultimatum:
The
rebelling clan gave their superiors an ultimatum. The superiors could
either fight the clan for their right to lead, or they could back down
and let the clan lead themselves as they once did. Being men and women
of intelligence and a diverse range of thinking methods, the superiors
would have no trouble coming up with an easy solution. The diplomats
had connections nearly everywhere at the time, so calling in favors and
pulling strings was as easy as breathing for them. The clan would be
faced with a miniature army of shinobi all fighting for the diplomats.
Even in their rage the clan knew that there was no way that they could
take on such a force without heavy damage to their side. Not willing to
risk so many deaths, they would eventually back down.

Reformation of Peace:
Choosing
to put their little conflict in the past, the clan returned to their
place beneath the diplomats. The diplomats, however, didn't want such a
rebellion to occur again. So, they came up with a compromise. The
diplomats would find a way to balance the teachings of shinobi arts and
diplomacy with their children, and raise the rest of the children who
would not inherit a seat of power to become great shinobi. On top of
this, they agreed to create a small organization within the clan that
would become the main fighting power for the Counsel of Seven. However,
there was still a group of shinobi that disagreed with their superiors
and chose to stay separate from the clan. They would name themselves
Yamaguchi, and become nomadic monks. The Yamaguchi developed and grew
in the arts of Doton to surpass even their mother clan, and would
eventually lose the will to hold their grudge. However, after so many
years of expanding and diluting their blood, they had lost the access
to their kekkei genkai and as a result their pass back into the clan.
So, they were named a branch clan of the Cretonis, and given the task
of training their finest in the arts of Doton.

Birth of the Minok:
Meanwhile,
the Counsel had still not chosen their elites or formed a group. Being
pressed by their clanmates to hold up their end of the compromise, the
counsellors got together to discuss what course of action they should
take. They would agree on forming a group of five elite shinobi within
the clan. These five members of the clan would be called the "Minok",
the name bearing no evident connection to their history or past
leaders. It seems the name was completely random, as if they had just
thrown a few sounds together and created a name that would seem
legitimate. They chose their five, and gave them the tasks that they
would have to complete to prove themselves. Those tasks would become
customary for any entering shinobi of the Minok, however the tasks
never remained the same. They were purely created on the whim of
whoever was assigning them at the time.
