| abstract | - The clan attempted to remain neutral between disputes that would arise from time to time between the various inhabitants of Konohagakure. This was considered ironic, as the Kurans had a longstanding rivalry with the Redi clan. Heads of the clan were always women, usually ones with blonde hair. The last head of the Kuran was Chika who died whilst grooming her eldest daughter how to lead the Kurans. People born into the Kuran clan had what was called Cursed Eyes which closely resembled and was often mistaken for blue Sharingan. Their irises when activating the Kekkei Genkai would turn dark blue and their pupils would morph into different designs. (Each eye would receive a different look.) The intricacy of the patterns and the effects varied from Kuran to Kuran, though the true Kekkei Genkai required nine members of the clan to use their Cursed Eyes on an individual or group at the same time. Depending upon the members present, the steps differed greatly to reach the same end result. The objective was to repair damage suffered by a shinobi on a cellular level. Success rates, again, vary from group to group of Kurans. If the goal was achieved, however, it alter the affected shinobi's mental state- i.e. erased memories, changed aspects of personalilties, etc. A common side effect was paranoia in which the newly healed shinobi woukd claim to feel insects crawling inside of their veins. If it didn't work, the ninja that they attempted to save would die as their organs explode inside of themself. There are only three instances where it was successful, though nobody can recall as the participants are long since deceased. A fourth incident occurred when the revived members of the clan healed a group of fifty people. As most Kurans were already dead, they didn't need to conserve chakra. This was believed by Orochimaru to be responsible for the large success. It should be mentioned that groups of pre-Konohagakure Kurans used willing sacrifices to aid in the chakra reserves, often attempting to revive the dead. The heritage of the Kuran would be the blending of two other clans; Uchiha and Namikaze. This is what allowed for varied physical traits amongst the members. They could have either blonde or black hair, have blue or black eyes, and be pale or have a tanned complexion. Their physical appearances were dictated by which of their "donor" clans that a certain Kuran was most similar to in terms of chakra (reserves, nature, etc.) More often than not, a Kuran had a vast amount of chakra and this made them ideal for being jinchūriki. However, only one Kuran was ever made a host to a tailed beast and this is due to the fact that they're partially Uchiha. Noteworthy members of the long gone Kuran clan included: -Aoi Kuran -Ichiki Kuran/Kohaku Uchiha () -Naoki Kuran/Akina Uzumaki (http://narutooriginals.wikia.com/wiki/Naoki_Kuran?) -Natsuki Kuran/Natsuki Namikaze () -Chika Kuran () -Mitsuru Kuran () -Reika Kuran (
