Chapter 39: The Clan Legacies [part 1]
As Yuto and his wives walked through the five cities of the dimensional kingdom, a sense of wonder filled the air. The vast, modern cities stood tall with skyscrapers, billboards, schools, colleges, and bustling shops and malls. Around them, forests teemed with a wide array of animals, birds, and insects, each subtly modified with Isshiki's and other clans' cells to balance the power between humans and nature in the kingdom.
Yuto observed the sights with a wistful melancholy. It was a scene straight out of his previous life—a blend of nature and modern technology coexisting. After a moment of silence, Architect Yuto turned to Jenny, Gaia, and Tenko, saying, "It's about 90% like the world we left behind. The only thing missing is entertainment, but we can work on that in the future."
Writer Yuto chimed in, a grin crossing his face. "Don't worry. I've got ideas to create animations, movies, TV shows, and news networks in this world. I just needed manpower. With the new clans here, our strength and workforce have increased."
Gaia's curiosity sparked, and she looked at him. "So, how many clans do we have now? We know about the five major clans, but what about the others?"
Professor Yuto took the lead in answering, a glint of excitement in his eyes. "Good question. Let me explain, and from this day forward, the Tsukuyomi dream we implanted will be the official history. Even if more people join us, they'll believe it's the truth. We'll make sure Uncle Jack knows, too. Let's start with the lesser-known clans."
With that, he began introducing each new clan.

The Inu-Izu Clan
"The first merged clan is the Inu-Izu Clan," Professor Yuto began. "Originally, there were two clans—the Inuzuka Clan, known for using dogs as companions and employing dog-based jutsus, and the Iznuo Clan, who did the same but with cats. When their elders joined our dimension, they were initially cautious of the new surroundings and other clans. To grow stronger and protect their loved ones, they decided to merge."
The Inu-Izu Clan is a unique lineage that combines the Iznuo Clan's feline prowess with the Inuzuka Clan's canine loyalty. Members of this clan form strong, lifelong bonds with either a cat or dog, though particularly gifted individuals can bond with both species. Over time, they've developed advanced ninjutsu techniques that seamlessly blend the agility, sensory acuity, and stealth of cats with the strength, loyalty, and resilience of dogs. This versatility lets them excel in various combat scenarios, making them highly adaptable on the battlefield. They also employ Stellar Chakra Cultivation Techniques and demon cultivation techniques to enhance both their own abilities and those of their animal companions.
In battle, members of the Inu-Izu Clan can summon either dogs or cats—sometimes both, if they're talented enough. Their signature technique, Feral Twin Fangs, combines the rapid, cat-like precision with the raw power of their canine allies, allowing them to strike swiftly and from multiple angles. They can also enter a Feline or Canine Fusion Mode with their partners, which significantly boosts their senses, speed, and reflexes, especially in close combat. This unique fusion style makes the Inu-Izu Clan a formidable force, blending the strengths of both animal lineages.
The clan boasts a population of 6,000, not including their animal companions, each of whom possesses a bloodline succession unique to this bond. This limit break ability can only be accessed when human and partner work in tandem. Within the clan, around ten members and fourteen animal partners have achieved Kage-level strength, and when combined, they can even reach low Super Kage-level strength.

The Might Lee Clan
Professor Yuto continued, "Next, we have the Might Lee Clan, a clan dedicated to body cultivation techniques and mastering the Eight Inner Gates. Unfortunately, in the ninja world, people often look down on body cultivation, thinking it's only for those with low talent. But they're mistaken."
The Might Lee Clan was brought under the Yuto family's protection even before other clans joined, ensuring their legacy and skills would not be lost. Known for their unbreakable resilience, they practice Stellar Chakra Cultivation Techniques that draw on cosmic energy to strengthen muscles, bones, and chakra networks. Through rigorous training, they push their physical limits beyond the natural threshold, making them one of the strongest taijutsu practitioners in existence.
Each member of the Might Lee Clan undergoes extensive training from a young age, incorporating different metals into their body through special rituals to enhance durability. Their ultimate technique, the Eight Inner Gates, allows them to access progressively higher levels of power. Although opening the "Death Gate"—the eighth and final gate—used to mean certain death, recent improvements allow members to survive, though they may spend seven to ten years paralyzed after using it. Few can achieve this level; only three members of the Might Lee Clan can currently open the Death Gate. Most, however, are only able to open up to the Seventh Gate and don't fully incorporate chakra metals into their bodies.
Their mastery over the Eight Inner Gates makes the Might Lee Clan unmatched in physical strength, with techniques that can turn the tide of any battle. They can also harden their bodies, giving them high defensive and offensive capabilities—a skill that's greatly feared on the battlefield. Known for their discipline and power, the Might Lee Clan is respected across the kingdom for their unwavering dedication to physical and spiritual growth there population is about 5 thousand people.

As Professor Yuto finished his explanation, a sense of pride settled over everyone. They could see the bright future awaiting the dimension, with powerful clans ready to protect and uphold its legacy. The Inu-Izu Clan and Might Lee Clan were only two examples, but each clan in the dimensional kingdom held a unique strength and story, together forming a foundation that would endure for generations to come.
