Cool, sources? Also just because you use a KG in a way different from the other, or any Nature for that matter, how does it confirm it's a Clan thing. Again, following your logic Gari's Explosion Release's techniques must be exclusive to his Clan.

Sources specifically to what?

Anyways, a Kekkei Genkai is a bloodline trait. Meaning everyone who has the same Kekkei Genkai has a common ancestor who originally had that ability. Even if you see two people from totally different villages with the same Kekkei Genkai, it would still mean they have had a common ancestor. The use of Chakra has been around for over 1000 years, but the village system has only been around for less than 100.

As for two clans using the same Kekkei Genkai differently; this would make sense as they grew up in different ways and places. Kurotsuchi's Lava Style clan just happened to understand their abilities differently from Mei's Lava Style Clan. Perfectly normal. But that doesn't mean it has to always be different. It's also perfectly normal for two clans from different places to learn the same Kekkei Genkai in the same way. The techniques aren't exclusive. Only the Kekkei Genkai itself is exclusive. If Kurotsuchi wanted, she could easily just learn Mei's Lava Style techniques for example.
