The Ankoku are a clan of Mercenaries that cling to the ways shinobi lived by, from the time before the start of the Hidden Village system. Thriving in combat, the Ankoku strive to prove their mettle in difficult missions, assignments, or tasks. Militaristic in structure with a patriarch who's word is law but relaxed in nature the Ankoku to an outsider seem to be a walking, breathing conundrum. Ankoku do not teach very much philosophy, instead concentrating their time and energy in finding, creating, & mastering jutsu. Their prowess in battle and missions has earned them a certain amount of infamy in the eyes of many nations including the "Great Five," however the true source of their infamy is their Kekkei Genkai, the Seishogan [Agonizing Eye].
The Seishogan is the trademark of the Ankoku, granting them fame and infamy alike. The Kekkei Genkai is powerful, but dangerous to both the user and the enemy. the Seishogan has abilities that are deadly, making it a Kekkei Genkai to be used nearly exclusively in life or death situations.
The Seishogan, for all it's power is a double edged sword that comes with very serious drawbacks. overuse can cause the internal hemorrhaging of the chakra pathways leading to the eyes that eventually can cause blindness. With extreme overuse also comes intense migraines that can lay any dojutsu using clan member prone by his own power.
Although it looks very similar to the Uchiha's Sharingan, the Ankoku's Seishogan is only distantly related. The Seishogan looks remarkably similar to the Rin'negan, but there is no relation. The eye's sclera a dark red to nearly maroon and two thick concentric circle appear around the pupil, the first a very light shade of red, and the other the same deep red/maroon as the sclera.
The Ankoku have been employed by Daimyos all over the Continent and even by larger villages like Iwa or Kirigakure who don't want any connection to their village. A powerful mercenary force, the Ankoku are trying to stay as neutral as possible while the world begins to march it's way to world war

- The Seishogan gives the Ankoku a internal mental picture of all sources of chakra surrounding him. with practice one can learn to recognize individual signatures of the people in their lives.
- The Seishogan can spread a wave of chakra directed in any or all directions that can project a feeling of pain ranging from a disorienting headache to crippling agony
- With skill, practice, and mastery over the Seishogan an Ankoku can aim the invisible waves of chakra at a focal point or individual person. With this, it is possible to completely break or even kill with what seems to be frightening ease.
