|History|
Influence: The Muramasa clan is known for its great craftsmanship, swords of the clans making are supposed to be the best in the world. This is the only known influence they have made in the world.
Famous Clan Members: Muramasa Ito,
History:
Ito Muramasa: “I believe that one who lives through the blade can only live as far as their connection with the blade.”
This was the first thing Ito Muramasa said when he opened the Muramasa weapons crafting school. Ito Muramasa believed that to be the best weapon user you also had to be the best weapon crafter. He built a small clan that became known for its fine craftsmanship.
Before his death Ito Muramasa made the first sword that became known throughout the land. The Ito Honshu, this sword would be the basis for all works the clan focused on for the next century.
Then came the first two swords that the Muramasa clan made for the use of a leader of another country. The Muramasa, a blade of supreme craftsmanship, unbreakable, un-dulling, a timeless sword that was given to the Kazakage with one rule, he must let any Muramasa clan member hold it once. Then the Masamune, its sister sword, given to the first son of the Kazakage it is said to have killed him in his sleep and was give back to the Muramasa clan who buried it.
The Masamune was considered cursed. Hitosa Muramasa was the craftsman of both swords. The Muramasa was forged using the tempering of a volcano, hence its great durability. Hitosa used the same crafting site for the Masamune but he infused the ashes of Ito Muramasa into the Blade. It’s said that Ito was not satisfied with the swords owner, hence why he was killed. The Masamune is said to hold the full spirit and power of Muramasa, and the original blade he made, the Ito Honshu.
The Muramasa clan then turned to trying to seal blades. They invented the scroll seal at first, used by many ninja today. Between making weapons for various nations the Muramasa clan worked hard to create the ultimate weapons seal. After three hundred and fifty years. They finally mastered it, but with a side effect, the left arm was consumed by a dragon seal, or the tiger seal.
At first no one knew the potential of either seal. It took almost ten years before it was realized that it gave an increased power to the user. The birth of the Kurokuni bloodline was formed. Ten years later a war broke out between the Dragon and Tiger users. Consumed by greed and power they started to hunt each other down, both sides with one goal, find the Masamune and destroy the other half of the clan. Within fifty years the clan, which once was in the thousands, was down to under two hundred. The last direct descendant of Ito Muramasa decided to remove his daughter from this battle, leaving her with the great grandson of the first Hokage of the Leaf Village.
“To whom it may concern.
This is Saji, our daughter,
We cannot take her where we are going so please take good care of us. The Muramasa clan need a new start, teach her compassion and respect for life. Something our people have forgotten. The war within the clan will probably lead to its destruction. Tell our daughter we are sorry, but we love her too much ot see her suffer as a part of our clan.
Kanji Muramasa.
p.s. Tell her to visit the land of sand to get the Muramasa seal when she is ready.
”
He also left the only clues to the location of the Masamune tattooed on her back. As of current there are no known living member of the Muramasa Clan, Saji Masato. Her name changed in hopes that the few that do remain hiding in the world that would want to kill her would not find her till she was old enough to defend her life.
