The Yamanaka Clan was never really apart of any major act or of any threat during the birthing of Konohagakure no Sato as the Clan remained in a far outstretches of the conflict but as the war had settled down the Yamanaka Clan seen the opportunity to not only gain safety but yet gain a name as they joined under the banner of Konohagakure offering their vast knowledge as herbalists bringing forth to Konohagakure resources they had no clue the landed provided for them. It wasnt until later that the Yamanaka Clan became apart of the Shinobi forces of Konohagakure as they developed and offered their clans techniques to keep the village that offered sanctuary, safe.

Yamanaka Clan Abilities

Yamanaka Clansmen
Core Ability
The Yamanaka bring a form of genjutsu to the battlefield that is useful for both information gathering and sowing unease through the enemy ranks. Where other clans are the hammer striking things down, the Yamanaka is the hand that holds it in place.

Upgrade I: The user of this slot can use E-ranks and talk while using Mind/body switch
Upgrade II: The user of this slot can use D-ranks and defend themselves while using Mind/body switch.
Note: "Mind/Body Switch" allows the Yamanaka to sacrifice their turn so that when the target of their genjutsu attempts to break their effects, the target must roll their check twice and take the worst result. Only one character may be affected by a Mind/Body genjutsu at any time.
