Founding and History of the Yamanaka Clan


Not much is known about the Yamanaka Clan’s founding or history, but one thing has been consistent with every generation – an Ino-Shika-Cho combo. The Ino of the Ino-Shika-Cho is from the Yamanaka Clan.



The Yamanaka Clan is famous for their incredibly strong Sensory Skills as they can not only sense Chakra, but also sense disturbances in Chakra. Inojin Yamanaka is seen to be able to sense malice in Chakra as well.



Along with their incredible Sensory Skills, they also have strong Mind Techniques that allowed them to do many things. This included taking over someone’s body, reading their mind, and communicating with them telepathically. The Yamanaka Clan helped greatly in the war, connecting each and every Shinobi with a large network of them.



In the current generation, the Yamanaka Clan is in charge of the Hidden Leaf’s Chakra Barrier. It senses and verifies the Chakra of everyone who passes through the village. With this, Naruto can keep the village open during times of peace without restricting passage.



The Mind Transfer Technique requires a large amount of determination and willpower to activate. Because of this, the willpower of the Yamanaka Clan members is higher than average. Inoichi Yamanaka connects to every shinobi on the battlefield with his Mind Jutsu and performs his duty until his last breath.
