Chapter 46: The Clans' Legacies [Part 8]
Military Yuto stood before the assembled clans, his voice carrying a weight of reverence as he prepared to introduce some of the most legendary clans in their dimension. "Today, we honor the final and most powerful clans who have joined us. These clans bring with them histories forged in battle, resilience, and unmatched skill. Their power and unique abilities have become legendary in the shinobi world, shaping the very fabric of our community."

The Kaguya Clan
He began with the twenty-first clan, The Kaguya Clan. "The Kaguya Clan is known for their Shikotsumyaku, or Dead Bone Pulse, an exceptionally rare kekkei genkai that allows them to manipulate their bone structure at will. Members of the Kaguya Clan can create, weaponize, and regenerate bones within their bodies, making them nearly indestructible in close combat. This unique ability grants them both offensive and defensive capabilities, allowing them to turn their own bodies into weapons and shields."
"The Kaguya have shared their knowledge of body manipulation and resilience training with our warriors. They've developed techniques to increase physical durability and trained our forces in close-combat methods that demand intense stamina and tenacity. Their presence has given our ranks unparalleled strength in battles that rely on raw power and resilience."

The Uzumaki Clan
Military Yuto then introduced the twenty-second clan, The Uzumaki Clan. "The Uzumaki Clan is known for their incredibly strong life force, immense chakra reserves, and expertise in sealing techniques. Members of the Uzumaki are masters of fūinjutsu, the art of sealing, which allows them to contain powerful entities, trap enemies, and form protective barriers. Their resilience and chakra stamina make them formidable in battle, renowned for their endurance."
"The Uzumaki's mastery of sealing has fortified our defenses, allowing us to create barrier seals, explosive tags, and protective charms that safeguard our settlements and troops. They've shared their chakra endurance training with us, enabling our shinobi to build up stamina that rivals their own. With their knowledge, our defenses have reached new heights of protection and resilience."

The Hyuga Clan
Yuto then introduced the twenty-third clan, The Hyuga Clan. "The Hyuga Clan is known for their Byakugan, a dojutsu that grants 360-degree vision and the ability to see chakra networks within their opponents. This visual prowess makes them masters of the Gentle Fist style, a taijutsu technique that disrupts an opponent's chakra pathways with precise strikes. The Byakugan's exceptional perception makes them invaluable in both reconnaissance and close combat."
"With the Hyuga Clan's guidance, we've established a dedicated reconnaissance division. Their Byakugan enables us to conduct surveillance and gather intelligence across vast distances, strengthening our awareness and vigilance. The Gentle Fist technique has transformed our taijutsu training, equipping our shinobi to counter enemy techniques with precision and effectively neutralize threats."

The Senju Clan
Yuto continued with the twenty-fourth clan, The Senju Clan. "The Senju Clan is legendary for their strength, vast chakra reserves, and mastery over Wood Release—a unique ability to create and manipulate plant life. Known for their affinity with nature, Senju members can heal, build, and protect using their Wood Release techniques. Their presence brings an unmatched level of versatility and resourcefulness."
"The Senju Clan's Wood Release has become instrumental in both defense and infrastructure. They've helped construct fortifications, create natural barriers, and improve our medical facilities through chakra-infused plants. With their support, our community is now more self-sustaining, relying on natural resources to strengthen our defenses and support our growth."

The Uchiha Clan
Finally, Yuto introduced the twenty-fifth clan, The Uchiha Clan. "The Uchiha Clan is known for their Sharingan, a dojutsu that grants powerful visual abilities like technique copying, genjutsu, and movement prediction. The advanced form, the Mangekyo Sharingan, unlocks even greater powers, such as Amaterasu's black flames, Kamui's space-time manipulation, and Susanoo's protective avatar. The Uchiha are known for their intense combat instincts and mastery of fire-style jutsu."
"The Uchiha Clan's Sharingan has transformed our approach to battle, with new strategies centered around visual and genjutsu techniques. They've also contributed their fire-style jutsu to enhance our offensive capabilities. Under their guidance, specialized units trained in visual-based combat have become a crucial part of our strategic forces. With stellar chakra cultivation, the Uchiha's Sharingan has evolved toward the Rinne Sharingan, marking their potential for new heights of power."

Yuto concluded with a note on smaller clans, "We are also joined by several smaller clans, each with unique bloodline limits and skills in fields like sketching, assassination, and supportive jutsu. Together, these smaller clans have merged and bring a total of ten thousand people, adding to our growing diversity and strength."
With all twenty-six clans united, their total population reached twenty-five thousand strong. Around seventy percent trained as shinobi, while the remaining thirty percent contributed through essential services like farming, trade, and crafting. All members practiced Stellar Chakra Cultivation, enhancing their life spans, chakra reserves, and overall strength.
Yuto's expression softened as he looked out over the assembled crowd. "Our true strength lies not only in power but in our unity, resilience, and shared purpose. Today, we recognize that we are not separate clans, but one great clan, a union of legacies, strength, and purpose. From this day forward, we are the Celestial Clan, with each clan becoming a branch—Celestial Uzumaki, Celestial Uchiha, and so on."
A powerful cheer echoed through the gathering as twenty-five hundred thousand people voices spoke as one. With each clan's legacy now woven into the fabric of the Celestial Clan, they stood as a single, unstoppable force, bound by history, skill, and an unwavering will to protect and thrive together.
