Chapter 6: Clans and Family
Ok so the warring state era dont use the normal system like Jonins, chunins, etc. But for the sake of this chapter alone, I will be using jonins and stuff.

Onochi POV
It has been two weeks since I started training. My training has been going well, especially in chakra control. With the help of my grandpa, I have significantly improved in chakra control. I am now able to walk on walls, even if it's only for a minute.
*Thud*
I huffed as I threw a kunai at the tree. Although I have been improving in chakra control, my progress in the physical aspect has been fairly slow. As I have started late and with a 7 year-old body, my physical capability is lacking. Even throwing a kunai more than 20 times is tiring for me.
However I did learn a few tricks with the sword. It turns out that my grandfather is a well known swordsman in the land of wind, known by the nickname of,
"Purple Edge Swordsman."
The nickname was fairly cringe for my taste, but after knowing what it meant, it wasn't that bad. The purple edge means poisonous edge. The edge of his sword is always laced with a purple poison. A simple cut could paralyze a grown man, and a deep slash could kill 5 men.
I haven't only been learning about fighting, grandpa Motomaru has also taught the factions in the Land of Wind.
Our clan, the Dokukuro, is a major clan in the Land of Wind. Although we are a major clan in name, we aren't a powerhouse. I guess you could say we're in the middle. As to why we're called a "major clan?" is because of political and power standing, with only 3 other clans being ahead of us, the three being the 3 great clans.
The three great clans are the powerhouse of the Land of Wind, and they are:
The Kaze Clan: A powerful clan with 1,342 clansmen, with 604 being ninjas. They are led by a Kage level ninja, Sabaku. Their clan mainly uses wind ninjutsus, and their proficiency is almost perfect.
The Kirikusa Clan: They aren't as powerful as the Kaza clan, with only having 845 clansmen and 368 members. However, their powerful leader makes up for their lack of manpower. The Kirikusa clan holds the most powerful ninja in the Land of Wind, Sora.
The Hinosuna Clan: They have the most clansmen in the Land of Sand, but that's it. Their ninjutsus is mainly fire style with their population being 1,843, 980 being ninjas.
Our clan is a powerful clan, but we aren't as powerful as the powerhouses. We are called the uncrowned clan, alongside our rival, the Hoku clan.
And as of right now, my grandpa had led a team of 20 ninjas to fight the Hoku clan. We were hired by the Kirikusa clan to fight with the Kaze clan, but the Hoku clan was hired by the Kaze clan.
The Dokukuro clan has 458 clansmen, with 234 being ninjas. We don't have any Kage level, with our strongest member being my Granda, an elite jonin.
Although we lack ninjas, we make it up with quality. Our elites, which consist of mostly jonins, are about 40, and 80+ are special jonins.
However, the Hoku clan completely counter us. Although they don't have as many elite ninjas, they have the quantity. They comprise 749 men with 334 ninjas. What's more, they are proficient in healing, making our poisons practically useless. Not only that, they also have been building up tolerance to our poisons.
*Thud* *Thud*
My clone and I threw kunais and hit the target dead center. With the help of my shadow clone, training has been twice as fast. Because I gain my clone experience, I learn much faster than a normal ninjas.
But for now, I can only use one clone. Although my Chakra was above average, it wasn't so large where I can make more than 5, and plus I'm still fairly new with chakra.
After I finished my training, I took a bath and dressed up to eat with my parents.
Looking at the mirror, I stared at my new self. I wore a light blue kimono, with my dark hair tied back. I stood at around 4'4 with a frail build. My skin was brown with my eyes being white, similar to my mother.
As I headed to the dining room, I was greeted by many servants. Having servants felt weird at first, but I have gotten used to them. Although I was rich in my past life, I didn't really have servants.
I opened the door and saw my parents happily talking, laughing and smiling at each other's dumb jokes. When they saw me, they stood up and embraced me.
My family was rich, yes, but I never really talked to them. I moved out when I was 15 after my grandparents died, the only two people I talked to. After that, I almost never talked to them. What was the point of money if you didn't have 'this'.
I smiled and thought to myself,
"This is nice."
