| abstract | - The Inuzuka were a feral clan originating from Earth Country. Loyal, faithful and incredible powerful the Inuzuka adapted throughout the years alongside their ninken summons and partner to become what they are now. A proud Clan that is both economically successful and have a very prominent part in Konohagakure no Sato military might. Historically, following the Warring Clan Era Tobirama reached out to the Inuzuka, bargaining with them and coercing them to join Konohagakure. However, the Inuzuka were far too mighty to be tamed; as a result a series of Fuuin were invented and subsequently used by both the Inuzuka Clan and Tobirama to prevent outright havoc in the newly created Hidden Village. In years to come the efforts of the Inuzuka have allowed them to become closely tied with the Land of Fire's infrastructure. Loyalty is the most important attribute to the Inuzuka and as such the entirety of the Clan stands by the Hidden Leaf Village and their Hokage without question; on a side note, no one in the Inuzuka has ever become a missing-nin. Economically they provide as Konoha's greatest meat suppliers especially for the many establishments the Akimichi Clan have all across the Ninja Continent. However, more importantly, the Clan is a large part of the military might the Hidden Leaf possesses. Not only do they prove to be the greatest tracker ninja, but highly adept in Taijutsu; furthermore, they introduced animal summons to the majority of Clans in the area, even going as far to admit the ninken as an official summon of Konohagakure. Unlike the Yamanaka who have major pull due to the fact that many of their clansman are apart of ANBU, or the royal Hyūga who have a monopoly on the information network in the Land of Fire, the Inuzuka are known as successful veterinarians and admittedly, rather friendly individuals. Much like their physiology suggests many clansman are highly linked to their partner ninken, including dog/wolf-like character traits. Moreover, most individuals who are apart of the Clan have to go through a rite of passage in order to obtain their partner, a passage which is unknown to outsiders. In the case of Koichi, due to the circumstances surrounding his upbringing he is highly estranged by his fellow Clansman, his admission into ANBU only completely severing his ties with his Inuzuka brothers and sisters. Koichi's mother was originally from Lightning Country, a vagrant civilian who fled to the Land of Frost following a falling out with her own family members. During the Fourth Shinobi War the civilian populace was relocated to Fire Country. This is when she met an Inuzuka who she fell in love with. Many years after the war together the two would give birth to Koichi Inuzuka.
