| - Many think that the Sage of the Six Paths only had two sons, but he had another illegitimate one. While the first and second son inherited the Sage`s eyes and body, the Third inherited his heart. As tension grew between the first and second son over who would be the Sage`s successor, the Third quietly departed. The Sage, seeing the Third`s wisdom and kindness, deemed him his true successor, but fearing that the first and second would harm him, the Sage sent the Third into hiding. Obeying his father, the Third walked the globe, studying man and it`s nature. Wiser the Third grew, while the first and second squabbled. He deduced that when the Sage publicly named him Successor, the children of the Sage would start war, killing many. The Third decided he would remain in hiding, helping the world from behind the scenes. The Sage, respecting the Third`s decision, named the second son his heir. The war the Third had predicted broke out. He and his growing family set out into the world, saving and aiding every person they found. After things cooled down in the world, the Third and his family settled down, training and perfecting their skills. Thus the Kikuta Clan was formed. The Kikuta Clan interfered and helped many in all the major Shinobi Wars, even long after the Third died. Also, the Kikuta investigated many potential threats to peace. All of this came to a halt when two direct descendants of the Third, Daimaru and Umimaru Kikuta, fought over leadership of the clan. Every member, with the exception of a small group of shinobi away on missions, were forced to take sides and battle. The battle raged for over a year, both sides evenly matched, until Umimaru and a master swordsmith forged a special katana, the deadly Heirith. With this weapon, the side of Umimaru finally won. Even though only a quarter of it's shinobi remained, the Kikuta Clan still lived. This was until the son of Daimaru, Uemetsu, returned from a far away nation and found his father dead. Uemetsu killed Umimaru and many others in their sleep, and was in turn finally by other members who had awoken. The few remaining members reunited with the non-allied Kikuta and decided to split up and train, only meeting once every five years. This would mean that the surviving members could not be wiped out at once. The mantle of leadership was passed to Icarax Kikuta, son of Umimaru. Icarax is still the leader of the clan, but currently he travels alone.
