Naruto: Shinobi Clans — Uchiha Hyūga Senju

Naruto : Shinobi Clans — Version 1.0 for CK3 1.18.4 & 1.19

Shinobi Clans is a lightweight flavor mod inspired by the clans of Naruto, introducing a set of lineage‑based traits, progression events, decisions, and custom illustrations. The goal is to add thematic identity and narrative depth without altering CK3’s core systems or balance. Everything is made so as to keep the mod fully compatible with virtually all other mods.

Bloodline Traits

The mod introduces several Naruto‑inspired bloodlines, each represented through a single inheritable trait. These traits are intentionally modest, designed to support roleplay rather than provide major mechanical advantages.

• Uchiha Bloodline — a lineage marked by emotional intensity and battle prowess.
• Hyūga Bloodline — a heritage of discipline, battle prowess and martial acumen.
• Senju Bloodline — a line known for resilience and vitality.

These traits form the backbone of the mod’s event chains and decisions. On top of them are the traits related to the strength of these bloodlines like the Sharingan or the Byakugan.

Progression Events

Characters belonging to these bloodlines may encounter progression events throughout their lives. These events can be triggered by stress, natural growth, war and death.

For the Uchiha, this includes the gradual evolution of the Sharingan to more powerful forms. For the Hyūga, the evolution is much rarer as the Byakugan is awakened from birth. For the Senju, progression of the Senju constitution is determined by birth and the bloodline of the parents.

(To note, Uchiha children with both Uchiha parents have a small chance to unlock a Senju constitution at birth if they’re born with a Physique positive trait.)

Progression is narrative in nature, happening without the use of decisions in order to avoid cluttering one’s game.

Flavor Events

To enrich the experience, the mod includes a variety of flavor events that explore the atmosphere and themes associated with each clan. These events can only happen if the corresponding clan ability decision has been taken.

Examples include:

• Sharingan strain
• Uchiha Paranoia
• Senju Vitality

These events are supported by custom CK3‑style illustrations, created using generative AI specifically for this mod to maintain visual consistency with the game.

Decisions

Bloodline characters gain access to a small set of roleplay‑oriented decisions, such as:

• creating the bloodline associated House and dynasty with no renown and some dynasty legacies
• clan abilites like the Susanoo or Mokuton…
• building a clan compound in the capital province for landed rulers providing martial bonuses

These decisions are intentionally simple and thematic, designed to complement the event chains and add some functionality to the clans.

Visual Objects & Artwork

The mod includes a collection of custom visual objects used in events for custom event scenes, illustrations for decisions and models for the characters’ eyes.

All artwork is designed to blend naturally with CK3’s event art style and generated with AI.

Compatibility

The mod is built with compatibility in mind: all mods files are newly created and do not overwrite any base game file.
It should therefore work seamlessly with all mods as long as they do not create files with the same names and directory structures as this mod’s which is extremely unlikely.

Tested it with CK3 AGOT plus about fifty mods and played for hours with no issues (AGOT 1.18.4 version).
