The Hōzuki Clan (鬼灯一族, Hōzuki Ichizoku) is a group of ninja that settled in Kirigakure after the ending of the Warring States Period.
Members of this clan possess the ability to turn their bodies into a liquid state using their Hydrification Technique. This however, seems to require that they stay well hydrated at all times and as such, at least two known members are known to carry water bottles around with them. Mangetsu and Suigetsu are very gifted swordsmen, and are known as the Second Coming of the Demon (鬼人の再来, Kijin no Sairai). It has also produced at least one Mizukage of the village.
