Nonbender-born (Earth-2165)



"Does it make a difference, being Nonbender-born? No. It doesn’t make any difference."

- - Sasuke Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha

Nonbender-borns, also known pejoratively as mudbloods, is a term used to refer to shinobi or kunoichi who are born to one or two nonbender parents. Despite not coming from a clan, their chi is still high and thus their bending abilities are not affected by their nonbender parentage - in fact, many nonbender-borns are amongst the most talented kunoichi and shinobi of their time, such as Kushina Uzumaki and Asami Sato.

The size of nonbender-borns among the shinobi population rises with each year, while pure-blood clans shrink in number and size.
