Sumizome Clan

The Sumizome Clan ( 墨染, Sumizome ) was a retired but powerful clan from an unamed small village around Konohagakure.

History
The Sumizome clan was peaceful and didn't want to fight any clan. They had their own village, named " Shizukana " ( 静かな, meaning quiet ). All the members were living together and there were no conflicts. Even if they had great abilities, they didn't like to fight and tried to keep the peace without strength. But when the Shinobi Word War III started, despite their desperate efforts to protect the village, it was destroyed in totality by the fights. With no place to go, the clan dispersed all over the Earth. Hinode's distant relatives placed in a small unamed village around Konohagakure. Till the present, the small family remained there.

Abilities
Their kekkei genkai is the storm release, the main ability they have. All the members of the clan got it. Also, some members got a special and different type of chakra, more powerful and resistant than the normal one. The difference is that a part of the members are more skilled and others are less skilled.

Symbol Meaning
The symbol of the clan is a cherry blossom. These flowers were considered as being sacred. The two circles within the flower represents two opposite sides being together, which refers to their attempt to install the peace in a passive mode. The symbol's colour is also the specific colour of a cherry blossom.
