The origins of the Yamabiko Clan is cloaked in mystery and rumors. One of the more common and logical rumors is the clan is descended from a blind shinobi. The blindness turned out to be a genetic trait which his children inherited and their children after them. In order to supplement for their blindness an ability was born in the members of the clan. An ability that would be later known as the Echo Kekkei Genkai. With a powerful Kekkei Genkai flowing through their veins the clan quickly became famous for their incredible prowess on the battlefield, despite their blindness. The clan that was once an embarrassment to Suna was now one of their strongest clans.
