Because if you choose TWO clans, there are two mechanisms I might choose to use. One, you fail at one clan and are then picked up by the other. Two, you get a twin sister.
Oh.
Indeed.
This statue says Higurashi clan. Who's that?
Someone outside the Ninja Village. A clan of shrine priests with spiritual powers.
What about this one? Aoyama clan?
Swordpriests who use the Shinmei Ryu school of swordsmanship. It only requires minor tweaking to fit something like that in the timeline. That's the nice thing about your timeline, with the magic/jutsu angle already existing, and everyone EXCEPT ninja sort of quietly going about their business without anyone paying much attention to them, it's easy to fit in all sorts of things without much of a ripple.
Ripples are bad?
No, just messy.
Huh. Here's another. Hattori clan?
Wandering ninja unaffiliated with any village. Fairly bad-ass but with a softer side. Someone like your mother in that his own village was lost in one of the Ninja Wars, who became a refugee. Unlike your mother, was not accepted by a ninja village due to him being sufficiently powerful that he made some people nervous. Well, that and he wasn't likely to accept the role of easily-manipulated puppet without killing a few highly placed people.
What the heck is with this one? Why do I have long hair? What's with the outfit?
Oh, that's Naruto No Inari. Something different than the whole 'demon sealed inside you thing' - not a clan choosing thing at all.
Why do I even have to choose a clan? Couldn't I go with just being by myself? I turned out fine the first time!

Rating: Man, you suck. Maybe you should just quit.
Well, that's not so bad.
I haven't finished adding all the flags, but I think that's the basics. You should also get 10 points for every jutsu, and get subtracted for various foot-in-mouth events. Are you sure though?
Well, heck maybe I should just go with THIS!
Okay, let's give it a try.
Huh? Oh heck, what did I just point at? HEY! (POP!)
I'd engage in maniacal laughter right now, but with him in the timeline already, what's the point. Oh why not? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
