Name - Shōton
History - The Shouton clan began long ago with a girl named Guren. She grew up in a small village, where she was shunned for her abilities. However, she eventually would be discovered by Orochimaru, who found her powers to be of great use, taking her in as one of his subordinates. She quickly became one his most powerful and loyal subordinates. She was eventually offered to become one of Orochimaru's future vessels, something she took great pride and honor in. However, he would instead choose someone else, which crushed her spirits. Feeling to be of no more use to him, she left his services and went into hiding in Kumo, eventually marrying and having children, whose descendents now make up the current Shōton clan.

Name - Shōton: Suishō Meikyū no Jutsu - Crystal Release: Jade Crystal Labyrinth Technique
Type - Nin
Rank - S
Element - Crystal
Description - First Guren creates a large number of crystal flowers. Then she can grow these flowers into a gigantic labyrinth consisting of red crystals. Enemies trapped inside it will mostly be lost because of the fact that the red crystals reflect their personal image as well as generates mirror images of the routes, paths, and details within the labyrinth, confusing and intimidating them. It is even capable of confusing the Byakugan. Because of the crystal's stable molecular structure, a simple attack focused at one point is rendered useless, and its wide surface will disperse the force of wide range attacks, reducing their effectiveness. To overcome this technique, an attack that has impact force both wide and powerful is required to smash through it.
