Clan Legends?

[Ves]

Derived from Hakke's thread: You must be registered for see links Pertaining to a possible legend within a clan. When I speak of a legend, I mean once in a lifetime power, Hashirama, and Madara esque (of course they won't be as powerful, or close to either one). Hakke wondered if a legend existed in the Hyuga Clan, I'm wondering if such people existed in every clan? My answer is yes, I firmly believe there were legendary talent in the known clans in Naruto, it just takes an in-depth amount of research to bring forth answers. That said, my focus recently has been to pinpoint this possible person within the Nara Clan, so far, I've found a possible lead, but it's a farfetched one, and I've yet to make solid connections to Naruto with the lead. Aside from the Nara, I'm interested in possible clans like the Akamichi, Hozuki, Aburame, Yamanaka, as well Hyuga, among all the rest. Thoughts?

The problem with the other clans besides Senju and Uchiha is their strict following of their Hiden Ninjutsu. Their Hiden Jutsu wasn't exactly that strong and could easily be stolen by an Uchiha.

Due to their obsession with traditional techniques, it's safe to say that the chances of there being incredibly scary members from every clan is very low.

Most likely. There's a one thousand year gap in between the creation of the Bijuu to the start of the villages. If in only one hundred years we have so many Shinobi considered legendary that we can't even keep proper track of them, (We don't even know about all the Kage, let alone separate Shinobi) who knows what was going on during that time. There are probably a dozen or so Asura and Indra transmigrations before Hashirama and Madara that we know nothing about.

There's bound to be a Ninja who stands above the rest in his/her respective clan.

Dayum. Nice avatar, Sir Derp.

I highly doubt they came close to Hashirama or Madara's level of "standing out".

That's not a problem in the least though, and their Hiden were strong... A mere teen of the Akamichi Clan went toe to toe with the Gedo Mazou. The Nara Clan's shadows don't need an explanation, and neither does the Yamanaka's mind transferring technique. That said, the they needn't be the most powerful techniques. Also, if the Uchiha could steal Hiden, they would. I doubt such is the case.

I couldn't agree more to be quite frank. Especially on the portion of other transmigrants. You hit a major key with this.

Yeah but they're still probably considered exceptional by Shinobi standards.

I'd already stated that being as powerful, or near Hashirama, or Madara would be an incredible stretch, and improbable. But there were undoubtedly individuals who stood out on the same level of esque as the Senju & Uchiha legends.

I think that if they had branched out more they would have reached the level of Hashirama or Madara.

Seclusion doesn't equate to being lesser in stature though. There could be Hiden jutsu that were sealed away, forbidden, or lost in time that were too powerful to showcase outside of the clan. I'm just playing with ideas here. It makes sense to me though. That's why Hiden were valued so much, because they're were specific to a clan, and told/showcased their origins, and history.

Well that depends. Any clan where an Indra or Ashura Transmigrate is present is obviously the legend of that respective clan.

Outside the Transmigrate realm you have legends like Kanoha's White Fang, seven swordsmen of the mist, kimmimaru and Haku are legends amongst their own dead clans of sorts.

Sure nowhere near Hashirama and Madara or Naruto and Sasuke's level but still legends.

It's doubtful Kimimaro, and Haku were considered legends when their respective clans were rather old, I've no doubt the Yuki Clan had a much more talented ice user than Haku. Especially the Kaguya clan, which predated back to Kaguya's time. The rest is pretty much spot on in my opinion, but this is pertaining to clan legends specifically.

I'm sure there are legends among clans (nara, aburame akamichi, etc) before the manga turned into the alien world threat I always saw it as a konoha specific telling of shinobi, transmigrants aside I always assumed there where legends from other villages.... I guess someone like kisame would be considered a legend in the mist... if he didn't go rogue.. but like nin that everyone in the village would talk about

Every clan

This is a solid point. Their hiden techs are their respective clan's pride but somehow the practice of hiden restricted them from attaining Hashi/Madara-tier to be able to be revered to as legends. Then again, these clans who abide by their own hierarchies outlast both the Senju and the Uchiha. I guess it pays to be grounded.

OT: I think this "legend" from the Hyuuga Clan needs to have deviant feats to justify the legend tag. Hashirama and Madara were a tier of their own above their clansmen because of their overwhelming power and capabilities (lel transmigration). If there were someone from the Hyuuga Clan (or any clan for that matter) what do you think must he possess/display to convince us that he is indeed worthy of being called legendary?

-The closest we got is Neji and we really didn't see much from him in Shippuuden.
-I also thought we would see more of strategic brilliance from SHikamru after Shikaku died and someone needs to be the Chief Strategist for the Alliance during the final stages of the war.
-Ino did something applaudable (at least I think she did) when she performed an unaided telepathic link with the whole Alliance.

Toning down from the transmigrants' power scaling, I think these "legends" we're seeking of from other clans exist but we are blinded because of Naruto and Sasuke and their predecessors' overwhelming power. Testament, Sakura, too, can be seen as a legend, considering at 17, she harnessed the Byakugou power, no matter how much antis disagree.
