Description:
Relatively recent in their formation, the Kuikkushirubā Clan are those who possess a unique elemental Kekkei Genkai which bears a striking resemblance to the Explosion Release used by Iwagakure shinobi before the Last Great Shinobi War. These individuals, however, instead of possessing explosive chakra, can produce an Element known as "Quicksilver" which is highly volatile and explosive. This Element is utilized primarily by individuals who possess both the Water and Lightning Elements, created through some unknown method of weaving Water alongside Lightning and their innate Chakra to create "Quicksilver" which is capable of creating tremendously powerful explosions at the cost of being highly dangerous to work with.

It is thanks to Quicksilver Release that the Kuikkushirubā Clan has managed to achieve a fairly high standing for themselves within Yamagakure, with most of the individuals and even those of fairly young ages being gifted with lavish estates or positions of power in order to keep them appeased and willing to serve the Village as a whole, since their contributions are vital to the continued survival of the Village as well as to keep law and order within the walls of Yamagakure itself, and to its allies beyond.

As a result of this often preferential treatment, the Kuikkushirubā are often seen as 'Pompous' or 'Self Important' by many of the common citizens and even low-ranking shinobi within Yamagakure, seeing as they are given essentially anything that they want whenever they want it. This has not gone unnoticed by the Clan themselves, as they have attempted to reshape their image briefly into a more magnanimous one, however, this quickly was found to be ineffectual at best and so was scrapped relatively quickly as the Clan instead chose to simply embrace their noble positions and align themselves with the Royal Citizens and Monarch Loyalist shinobi of Yamagakure rather than attempting to appeal to the masses as a whole - a tactic which has been much more successful and accepted by the Clan as a whole.

Fighting Style:
Although the Kuikkushirubā Clan prefers to avoid fighting outright in the field, they are known to utilize their unique Element to eradicate entire Squads and even armies given the right amount of preparation and skill possessed by the Kuikkushirubā themselves. Typically, a member of this clan will fight through their unique release often through quick and powerful techniques rather than more elaborate and timed ones. This can be seen as a detriment on their part, however, as since their techniques focus on ending a fight swiftly and with only one or a few powerful techniques - if their opponent is relatively durable or craft enough to avoid their initial barrage, then they can be potentially left defenseless and without any of the Stamina required to perform further techniques whether they are defensive or offensive.


Culture:
Kuikkushirubā culture is very much focused on the gathering of status and wealth, due to their often extravagant lifestyles as well as their usually flamboyant displays of wealth and prestige. They have quickly adopted the materialistic ideals of the recently established Monarchy and have become more than willing servants to the Queen in exchange for anything from wealth to positions within the Monarchy itself, these positions often allowing them varying amounts of power over the common citizenry as well as the lower-ranked shinobi of the Village. Many Kuikkushirubā view it as their birthright to hold such power over the 'common people' as they call them, and will often fight among one another for the favor of the Queen and her Advisors if it will grant them the possibility of gaining leverage over others in some fashion.

A sort of lust for power and greed are two things which, as evident, which pervade the Clan as a whole and are a major reason for the contempt that many smaller Clans, as well as the common folk, have for the Kuikkushirubā in general. As previously mentioned, they are seen as rather entitled in their views regarding their positions, however, there is a tendency among the Clan Members to abuse their authority and wealth for the sake of personal gains or, at times, simply their amusement. Unfortunately, many members of the Clan possess this flaw as a result of their pampered upbringings - although there are a select few who manage to avoid this pitfall.
