51,102	1,381	9	925	1,132	Mighty Homo Mikoto When he heard the yelling from some other guy preparing a jutsu, it was already too late. It was only by his reflects as a ninja that he was able to take a step back, a step back that didn't work for anything at all. "Things are getting interesting now!" He singed as he was pushed back and was about to fall to the ground. The air had been hit out of his lungs, but he still could fight. Luckily, he was carrying his Sonatta on his back adn used it to break his fall and stay on his knees. Luckily, someone else was trying to help him. He used the few seconds the Water Bullet would give him and took a few breaths to fill his lungs with air again. "Hehe... Let's continue the dance!" Mikoto put his weapon back in the straps in his back. His head had already changed the tune for one more adequate. He used the calm part of the song to recollect his thoughts and after that, he dashed forward. He cared not for the several clones around him. He'd just have to cut all of them down, if necessary. He stepped forward towards the one closest to him, the one he thought had been the one to attack him. As the song inside his head started reaching the chorus, and the most aggressive part, he twirled in one foot and just as the chorus started, he violently swung his arm towards the gray haired man in front of him. He did not take notice, though, of the fact that his arm went through the clone. After that, he speeds past him. Haze clones? If so, most of his attacks will be useless. Rat, Dog, Ox. "Water Whip Jutsu!" A whip made out of water emerged from Mikoto's hand, and he used it to try and grab one among the clones and pull him towards him, hoping it'd be the real one. Sadly, his technique just kind of went through most of the guys. "Damn it." It would be easy to identify the real body if Kanata was here. She could use the Water Heavens Convergence jutsu, and since the guy was wet, she'd probably be able to identify him from all of these clones. "Then I just need to hit them all until I get the real one. Sounds like a plan!" He sings again and then laughs. He reaches for his staff once again and spins it in his hand. If the guy liked duels, then Mikoto thought he'd come running once he got his weapon out. He just hoped that was the case.	I want a cool name for where I keep my characters too “Who might that handsome guy in the mirror be? Ah, it's just me.” Meet Amatsurahashi Mikoto. A young man standing at 1.79 meters who probably spends more time looking at himself in the mirror than actually fighting. His long red hair made into a ponytail is probably the one with the best care in the whole army, even among the women. His fair skin has so many layers of creams and other chemicals that some men think he'll explode if there's some fire near him. His blue eyes have never been seen in another state than their almost always perfect one in which Mikoto keeps them. There are some rumors going around that say his eyes can't actually be that pretty alone, saying that they MUST be using contact lenses. He is so picky with his food and training menu to keep his slim, yet strong build, that many come to take his advice on how to take better care of their own physique. Amatsurahashi Mikoto, the man who spends a lot of time trimming himself and is actually not gay. That is the man standing before you. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Amatsurahashi Mikoto 【Alias】 That one not-gay guy that seems gay AKA Metrosexual. 【Affiliation】 Red Sages. 【Age】 20 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Heterosexual. Might be willing to change in the future. 【Birthplace】 Kirigakure. The Village Hidden In The Mist. 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Have you ever met that one person that just seems to sing everything when he talks? That's the kind of person Mikoto is. A lot of people think he is annoying, but he just shows no signs of changing. Ever since he was a child he's had one rule with which he lives by. To never change himself even if others want to change him. Always remain true to the desires of his heart. He is that kind of whimsical guy. He loves art, music and just about anything that expresses the true desires of the heart. He spends a great deal of time in unnecessary and excessive grooming. He also seems to vastly prefer the company of men rather than the company of woman. These are just some of the reason as to why a lot of people think Mikoto is actually homosexual. Mikoto is only really picky when it comes to women, not to mention that he isn't popular with woman either because of how effeminate he seems at times. Several of his close friends actually know this, and still like to tease him about that. Having sparked several misunderstandings, Mikoto has made an habit of introducing himself with his sexuality in his introduction line. Despite his love for his beauty, Mikoto is neither an stranger to fight nor is he scared of them. He is not a ninja just for show. Mikoto's will to fight is just as much, if not even more, than other ninjas. He will never run away, nor will he ever admit he is outpowered. That's why he believes it is wrong for shinobi's to only be after money and not to follow their heart's desires. He does, however, protect his face a lot more than any other shinobi does. His reason to be one of the Red Sages is simple; "Doesn't freedom sound like a beautiful concept to you? I'd very much like to see what true freedom is like." 【History】 What can you expect from Mikoto's story? Yes, he was bullied as a kid. Yes, he was beaten up a lot as a kid. No, he was not mentally scarred or traumatised by this. Mikoto actually fought back. He's never been afraid of getting his hands dirty. Though he's always been a dilligent student, more than once has he been scolded by his teachers because of how many fights he got himself into. During elementary school, he had to fight his way through bullies and smart-asses who thought he was nothing more than a sissy. It wasn't until he started going to junior high school that he discovered a better way to deal with bullies instead of fighting them. Completely ignoring them. Why, there's nothing more infuriating than the sissy you are trying to piss off completely ignores your very existance. It ended up either with the guys giving up and moving on to their next victim or them trying to beat up Mikoto, which ended up badly for them. Again. By the time he entered high school, Mikoto had created a reputation for himself. Never again did he have to deal with idiots trying to piss him off. Sadly, it was... boring. Extremely so. How could he ever relieve this boredom? Already studying to be a ninja and a Chuunin, and the Hamajo Confederation didn't seem eager to start a war any time soon. Then, what could little old Mikoto do to relieve his thirst for fighting? The Red Sages was the only thing that came to his mind. 【Family ties】 The Amatsurahashi family. Harsh in their ninja training, lax in their concept of what a man should be. Why you ask? Mikoto's father died when he was 4 on the way to the hospital when Mikoto's sister was about to be born. So, Mikoto had to quickly grow up and become the man of the house and so, he had no time to have his lunch handed over to him by some guys who taught were better than him. Not to mention he had an example to set for his sister. Amatsurahashi Haruka \| Mother \| 42, Kirigakure, Reitred Shinobi Amatsurahashi Kanata \| Sister \| 16, Kirigakure, Shinobi, Chuunin 【Dreams and fears】 His dream is to see actual freedom. To be able to see what it truly means for a shinobi to be able to be free. He'd also like to learn how to play an instrument, ANY instrument. His deepest and darkest fear is for all that is beautiful to him, including his family, to be taken away from him all at once. To leave him at the mercy of a world where nothing can no longer make him feel alive. Basically, being alive but dead inside is his biggest fear. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Many describe Mikoto's fighting style as refined and entracing. They say it is like watching him dance instead of fighting. Still, Mikoto's taijutsu is deadly and precise. There is no wasted effort, no wasted moves. Everything is made to be a beautifully perfect fighting style for Mikoto. Rhythm and tempo are the bases for his taijutsu style. He always tries to imitate a song playing inside his head as he fights, trying to match the timings of his strikes and the timing to avoid and counter-attack. Thanks to his being knowledgeable about several types of music, it is easy for him to change gears in the blink of an eye. He tends to use bojutsu, a fighting style through the use of a staff, when he thinks taijutsu is no longer enough to defeat someone. He usually combines bojutsu with ninjutsu to make an even more lethal style. He is more of a physical fighter rather than using ninjutsu and genjutsu. His ninjutsu acts more as a support for his fighting style and he tries to avoid using genjutsu, mainly because it isn't his best subject. His ninjutsu focuses on the use of water as a high speed waterjet to cut through things. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Doesn't have one. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Water Release: High Speed Jet B rank techniques: Water Release: Water Beast Water Release: Hiding in Water Technique C rank techniques: Water Release: Water Gun Water Release: Water Whip Water Clone Technique D-E rank techniques: All basic Academy E ones. 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Water Release: High Speed Jet Rank: A Range: Short Range, can only be use in hand-to-hand combat. Description: The user releases a high speed stream of water from their finger tips and envelops both of their hands in a water jet that can cut through just about anything. This technique, however, is as harmful to the user as it is to their opponent, and can only be used once in a fight to avoid further damage to their hands and/or weapons. Depending of the Chakra output of the user, this move becomes more powerful and becomes able to cut through harder materials. How much the chakra is being used also determines how long this jutsu can last. At minimum output, the Jutsu can cut through wood easily and can last about an hour (6 posts) without damaging the user's skin. In a weapon, it can last for a complete hour (6 posts) before it starts eating away at the materials of the weapon. At medium output, the jutsu can cut through bone, rock and even iron. The user can mantain it for 15 (3 posts) minutes without major damage to their hands. In a weapon, it can last for 30 minutes (4 posts). At maximum output, the jutsu can cut through just about any kind of metal standing in its way, though it won't be able to cut through chakra enhanced weapons, diamonds or crystal release jutsus. In the user's hands, it can only last for a minute (1 post) before there is major damage and in a weapon it can last for 5 minutes (2 posts) before it destroys the weapon completely. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon Name: Sonatta Weapon, tool or object type: Staff Description: A large white and black staff that is about the same height as Mikoto himself. It is made out of wood and has two metal plates at both of its ends, so it can withstand Mikoto's High Speed Jet Jutsu. “Yeah, I am that guy's sister. No, I won't get you a date with him. Why? Because he doesn't freakin' like dudes!” Standing at a not even surprising 1.64 meters and a rather slim and flimsy frame, it is Amatsurahashi Kanata. Like her brother, she has fiery red hair and blue eyes, but neither of them are as well cared for as his. In fact, her brother likes to point out the split ends her hair might have. Her hair is long and usually kept in a pair of twintails that reach her waist. Her blue eyes are big and have been called cute several times, by relatives and her mother, mainly. Her fair skin does have some cream put into it but not the ungodly amounts her brother uses. Like other men, she fears she might catch fire if she imitates her brother. Her frame is slim but well trained, as expected of any shinobi. The problem lies in her chest, something she has a strong complex about and what often makes others confuse her for a boy (given how her brother is). A teenager who'd like to put as much attention on her appearance as her homo brother, Amatsurahashi Kanata. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Amatsurahashi Kanata 【Alias】 Little Sister 【Affiliation】 Undecided 【Age】 16 【Sex】 Female 【Sexuality】 Straight 【Birthplace】 Kirigakure 【Bloodline】 Amatsurahashi 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Unlike her brother who has 'shit for brains', Kanata is a lot more normal than her egocentric and metrosexual brother, if a lot more tomboyish than your regular kunoichi. But let's be honest here, what screams femininity more than a girl in a tight suit jumping around and throwing sharp things at others? Foul-mouthed by nature, full of hormones thanks to her age and Kanata's short fuse make her an adorable pack of emotions, insults, bad words and sarcasm all in one. She's known for not holding anything back, and this has gotten her in a lot more of problems than she's ever wanted to have. Her tongue moves faster than her brain can catch up, hurling insults at people she shouldn't piss off. She depends a lot on her brother Mikoto to get her out of such situations. An idiot by birth not by choice, Kanata has found herself in more than one tight spot both in school and in the streets. She often comments on how life wouldn't be as exciting if she didn't get in as much problems as she does, though. Add to all of this the fact that she has several complexes about her body and life and it just makes her the perfect adolescent with attitude problems. She just needs to run away and the pack should be complete. Among her several complexes, she's got a complex about her chest and an inferiority complex towards her brother. Don't try to mention her height or call her a boy either. Overall, Kanata is a short-tempered idiot with a big mouth AND some ability as a ninja. At least she knows how to fight AND when she should just run for it instead of fighting. "Live to fight another day. Those idiots will never catch me anyway, not with mighty homo Mikoto watching my back." 【History】 Unlike her brother, Kanata was largely ignored in her school years, all the way from elementary school it was just a big whole of... nothing. Have you ever seen your graduation photo and noticed a guy that is there but you never actually saw? If not, that's what several people thought after getting their graduation photo and finally noticing Kanata. Everyone expected big things from Amatsurahashi Mikoto's sister, only to be let down by the extremely pragmatic and sarcastic Kanata. Her existence mostly went unnoticed until she finally became a Chuunin. Pairing up with her brother and going out in missions made them a deadly combo. Finally, people started noticing Kanata and she wasn't sure of whether this was a good or bad thing. Well, she never really did have a lack of friends, she just was in that small group that mostly went unnoticed by others. Later she determined that it was bad. Real bad. They all came to her with words like 'Oh, did Mikoto have a sister? Never knew.' or 'Wow, to think you could actually do something!'. What came after those comments was most definitely not pretty. Having gained a bad reputation this time around, people started to actually avoid her. Well, her fame was short lived, and it was good that it was. 【Family ties】 Kanata's father died before she was born, so she only has her older brother and mother to rely on. While she is fond of and loves the two of them, she does find them, Mikoto specially, annoying. Amatsurahashi Haruka \| Mother \| 42, Kirigakure, Retired Shinobi Amatsurahashi Mikoto \| Brother \| 20, Kirigakure, Shinobi, Part of the Red Sages, "Full time homo" 【Dreams and fears】 She dreams of one day surpassing her ever so perfect and beautiful brother, or at the very least shake off the feeling of inferiority she feels towards him. Her biggest fear is not being able to go to the next One Direction concert living in the shadow of her brother. Also to be noted, she is scared witless of Mikoto's imminent death if he keeps doing dangerous things. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Never to shine herself but to give others the opportunity to shine, Kanata's fighting style is a purely supportive one. She can indeed defend herself in hand to hand combat, yes, but her true talent comes out when she is fighting alongside someone else. Her specialty are ninjutsu and genjutsu used to support a more aggressive battle style like her brother's. She intends to stall, hinder and trip her opponents at every step they give. Even if they are about to hit their mark, she'll make sure that what they hit is nothing more but an illusion she's made. Cunning and brains, not muscles and... more muscles, are what make her a formidable fighter. She uses water release, but unlike her brother, she uses mist and barriers to hinder her opponents. Her taijutsu is the weakest part of her fighting style as a whole. She can easily be overpowered by any opponent with more experience in hand to hand combat or otherwise. Her taijutsu is focused on the use of her legs, since her arms are more like sticks. She uses a combination of muay thai and tae kwon do to keep opponents at bay while she uses her hands to prepare her next jutsu. Kanata also tends to use submission holds against opponents bigger than her, in order to keep them from moving and to give herself more time to cast her next jutsu. Thanks to her being bad at taijutsu, she carries even more kunais than the average shinobi. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Thank God I don't need to fill this longass form 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Water Release: Water Heavens Convergence B rank techniques: Water Release: Water Formation Pillar Water Release: Water Beast Illysionary Mist C rank techniques: Water Prison Technique Water Release: Water Gun Water Clone Technique Water Release: Enveloping Mist D-E rank techniques: Hidden In Mist Technique 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Water Release: Enveloping Mist Rank: C Range: Large, it covers an area of 30 meters around the user. Description: The user, Kanata, releases mist from the tip of her fingers that envelops a wide are around her. It does nothing more, nothing less. Once the mist is out of Kanata, it does not take any chakra for her to mantain it. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Kunais. Lots and lots of them. Weapon, tool or object type: Throwing Kunai Description: Simple kunais in ungodly quantities. Makes you wonder where the hell is she hiding so many of them. “Calm yourself. I mean you no harm. ... Your heartbeat is starting to calm down. Good.” An intimidating man standing at 1.80 meters and a man of nerves made out of steel, Kisaragi Anzai. He's got short and spiky black hair falling right over his face. He uses a headband at the top of his forehead to not let it rub against his face, since he is pretty sensitive. Anzai's skin is dark brown, making for a perfect example of the trademark Kumogakure ethnicity. He's got gray eyes, but he always keeps his eyes shut. Unlike many cliché anime characters, Anzai actually keeps his own eyes shut because he is blind. His physique is quite buff and muscular, something that affects his diet quite a lot since he needs to eat a lot more than your regular shinobi. Despite his physique and Kekkei Genkai, Anzai keeps always keeps a cane by his side. The Blind Assassin, Kisaragi Anzai. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Kisaragi Anzai 【Alias】 The Blind Assassin, Anzu 【Affiliation】 Red Sages 【Age】 25 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Asexual/Bi-romantic (think I saw someone use the word hetero-romantic somewhere, so I'm borrowing the idea) 【Birthplace】 Kumogakure 【Bloodline】 Kisaragi 【Rank】 Jounin -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Calm and stoic are the words that best define Anzai. He's lived his life having to take calm and well-thought steps due to his blindness. It gives you more time to think, in a way. Everything he does is well-thought and meditated, even his jokes, which tend to be overlooked because of his monotone tone of voice. Because of his legendary calmness and his habit of meditation, many often believe that Anzai is, in fact, sleeping. He has fallen asleep while meditating if we are being completely honest, but it is a rare occurrence indeed. Once, someone stepped over him while sleeping. Anzai is really prideful, despite his usual cool demeanor. Offering to help him go down the stairs or other friendly offers for help upset him greatly and, despite not losing his cool demeanor, you'll find yourself threatened by that same calm nature. In a nutshell, feeling pity for him can really work against you. "Even as I am blind, I can see far more than you." His mannerisms and calmness often lead others to believe that he is expressionless, or worse, emotionless. This is most certainly not true, but Anzai does manage to keep his emotions in check most of the time. This is because he understands and accepts all of his emotions, which has also made him able to tell a person's mood through the tone of their voice or what they are feeling through the beat of their heart. These two abilities, though, are rendered useless in battle as he cannot focus his hearing solely in his opponent, otherwise he'd feel he's leaving himself open. As with everything else, Anzai tends to keep calm and stoic even in the most heated of situations, making him both an intimidating and terrifying foe. 【History】 The long line of Katsuragi shinobi felt that its long tradition of warriors had come to an end when they discovered that Anzai, next in line to become the head of the small clan, was born blind. Not having sight, an almost indispensable tool in the trade of being a ninja. They thought all was lost were it not for what they noticed later. The boy could indeed see and his 'sight' could reach even further than their own. The Kekkei Genkai of the Kisaragi allows them to feel electric currents, but only when thrown in a jutsu, making it a highly defensive type of Kekkei Genkai that could only protect them against an specific type of jutsu. Anzai's blindness took it a step further. Anzai could actually sense the small electrical charges carried by electrons, and that permitted him to make an image inside of his head of what things would look like if he could see, and what made it better was the fact that his 'vision' covered a whole 360 around him. It was blurry at first, of course. Untrained and instinctive, the Kisaragi could not pass up on such an opportunity. Regardless of his shortcomings when he first started training, the Kisaragi finally were able to make an specially deadly and stoic shinobi out of Anzai, who could now see clearly after refining the use fo his Kekkei Genkai. Once he got clearance to become a Jounin, however, what followed were years full of frustration. Everyone looked down on him because of his blidness. They wouldn't allow him to participate in missions, and he would remain mediocre because the Confederation frowned upon physical demonstrations of power, at least between their own armies. The last straw was when his commander called him weak, and that he couldn't kill him even if he were sleeping. Making a live demonstration, Anzai went to the Red Sages dragging his commander's body by the neck. The commander was known to be a powerful but arrogant commander that had been hindering several of the operations of the Red Sages. He hoped that such a demonstration would be enough for the Red Sages to acknowledge his potential. Thankfully for them, they did. 【Family ties】 Anzai's family is filled with strong warriors, warriors that would risk their lives at the beck and call of their masters. So was the case with both of Anzai's parents, who died while he was still training. His only remaining (close) family is his grandfather. Kisaragi Youtsugi \| Grandfather \| 81, Kumogakure, Old fart too proud to retire from being a shinobi. 【Dreams and fears】 Anzai dreams of making his a powerful clan, one rivaling the Uchiha or the Hyuuga. Despite not seeing (pun intended) the allure of the intercourse, Anzai does wish to have an heir who inherits both his powerful Kekkei Genkai and blindness, horrible as it may sound. He thinks of himself as the next step towards greatness for his clan. An improvement over those before him and the true potential of their Kekkei Genkai. His biggest fear, though odd but logical considering his personality, is to be able to see with his eyes. He feels he'll lose his powerful KG if he sudeenly becomes able to see. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 A dojutsu without eyes. So many have described Anzai's battle style. His genjutsu skills are non-existant, perhaps because he cannot see in the traditional way, but his lack of skill in genjutsu is compensated by his skill in ninjutsu and kenjutsu. He keeps his sword concealed inside the cane he always carries with himself. His fighting style is one that prioritizes domination over the battlefield. If people ambush him, then he'll keep everyone at a safe distance through the use of his ninjutsu, and then engage each of them with his sword and finish them quickly. He's been called the Blind Assassin because he always aims to end his fights quickly, before his opponent can catch up on the several weaknesses of his Kekkei Genkai. If he is overwhelmed or has spent too much in a fight, he tends to retire as quick as possible and fight another day, despite his prideful personality. He is dead set on not letting anyone know of the weaknesses of his abilities, and will surely kill anyone who catches on on them. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Denkaku (電覚) Description: The Kisaragi KG allows the clansmen to sense strong currents of electricity, like those produced from a Lightning Release ninjutsu. Anzai's lack of sight, however, makes this ability extremely powerful, and allows him to sense even the small electrons that are around almost every atom, which allows him to make complete 360 images in a range of 10 meters around him. The KG also allows the Kisaragi to use an special type of ninjutsu because of the constant electric wave that surrounds them. Anzai's is neither stronger nor weaker than those before him. Strengths: Allows Anzai to make 360 images of the terrain he is in. Can dodge Lightning release ninjutsu easily thanks to being able to detect them from wherever they are coming. Due to the excited atoms of a hot body, Anzai can also sense Fire Release rather clearly and can sense even more clearly any individual with a high body temperature. Anzai can become a walking stungun by amplifying the electric wave going around him. If extremely concentrated and in only one individual, Anzai can predict their next attacks by seeing the electricity running through their muscles as they move. This, however, makes him blind to any other thing happening in his surroundings. Weaknesses: Being hit by Wind Release, the usual weakness of Lightning release, can either make his vision blurry or blind him completely, if the jutsu is strong enough(B jutsus and stronger). He cannot sense Ice Release or any body at Absolute Zero temperature. (Not necessarily a shinobi, could also be metal). Due to the lack of electrons in their atoms, Anzai can't sense gases either. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Lightning Release: Depht Charge Lightning Release: Walking Stungun B rank techniques: Lightning Release: False Darkness Lightning Release: Lightning Trap C rank techniques: Lightning Release Wall Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder D-E rank techniques: None worth mentioning. 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Lightning Release: Walking Stungun Rank: A Range: Short Range Description: Using Lightning Release, Anzai supercharges his nervous system after amplifying the natural electric wave surrounding his body and reversing it inside, but unlike A's Lightning Chakra mode, Anzai does not enhance his physical capabilities. The electricity surrounding Anzai also becomes visible to any of his enemies as small lightning courses his arms, chest and legs. Touching Anzai while doing this will result in an extremely painful and stunning electric shock, that renders taijutsu useless against him. While this does not actually hurt Anzai, it does leave him paralyzed for a long while afterwards, so he does not use it that often. The longest he can keep this technique activated is for 5 posts. Anzai theorizes that if his whole body was sedated and his mind wasn't, he could use this technique to move. He hasn't had the opportunity to prove this theory, though, and the fact that he still needs to make the hand seals makes it... kind of pointless. Jutsu name: Lightning Blade: Heaven Piercing Lunge Rank: S Range: Short to Mid Range Description: Anzai thrusts his weapon forward and, much like like the Chidori Katana of Sasuke, creates a highly condensated flow of Lightning release chakra with a range of 10 meters. Though it does not chirp loudly like the Chidori Katana, there is indeed a low, cracking sound that warns of its arrival, not to mention that when it hits, it makes the same sound as a thunder striking the ground as all of the compacted energy dissipates after hitting its target. It is compact and quite small, and its range falls short to other jutsu, but it is a jutsu that can pierce through mostly anything, unless faced with a weapon with flowing Lightning Release chakra or Air Release chakra. Thanks to Anzai's detection and skill, he can make the attack change its course as he wants, though not as many times as he'd like. After moving it three times, the jutsu disappears. Though extremely lethal as it can pierce easily through someone's head or ribcage in an attempt to kill Anzai's enemies, it really depends a lot of where it hits. Jutsu name: Lightning Release: Lightning Spread Rank: C Range: Long Range Description: A variation of the Electromagnetic Murder jutsu. Putting both of his hands on the ground, Anzai releases lightning in a range of 20 meters to keep his opponents away. Jutsu name: Lightning Release Wall Rank: C Range: Short to Mid Range Description: Using Lightning Release, Anzai erects (( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)) a wall with a maximum range of 10 meters, that can be extended to 20 if he places seals to help him keep it up. The wall is made up of violent electric bolts, making it harmful for anyone trying to get past it, whether they want to enter it or exit it. It doesn't seem to affect Lightning Release users as much, though. The only way to dispel it is to either defeat Anzai or, if it is being used at mid range, to take off the seals previously placed by Anzai. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Silent Death Weapon, tool or object type: Sword Cane Description: A sword hidden inside a cane that would otherwise be used to aid his walking. How it looks
51,103	1,381	10	323	3,236	Cheiko HonmaKonoha Ame-Suna Border, Outside the Harvest FestivalCheiko had laid sprawled on a nice warm patch of grass. Eyes closed she had listened to the people around her giggle, laugh and generally enjoy life. Happily naive. Chieko lifted a land lazily and swatted at the fly as it persistently buzzed her face. Soon no one would be laughing. The Red Sages would take the festival, kill Lord Hamajō and pretty much win. Unless they all died. Chieko exhaled in a long breath before spring to her feet in one smooth motion, a burst of movement. Her short red hair settled about her face as she turned around to look at the other Sages she was with. One was looking up at the sky with a bored look. It had been a long wait, but soon it would be over. Soon. Cheiko lifted her own face to the sky, raising her hand to shield her eyes from the sun. She briefly wondered if her sisters were on duty at the festival. If her parents were there, enjoying the festivities. Cheiko's stomach did a weird flip, but she ignored it. She had chosen her path, and there was no returning. Not even if she had wanted to. The Red Sages were her family now. Chieko lowered her arm and sighed, making one of the other chunin raise an eyerbow. "Nothing." Chieko said closing her eyes again and going back to listening. It was nothing. She would be strong. She would. She would not doubt. She would not falter. She would build a better world. "It's happening." Another of the chunin said. Her voice was nervous. Chieko's eyes flicked back open, her hands raised and making seals. She took a deep breath and three more of her appeared. "Then lets move." The grumpy teen said before she leapt off to join the battle. Umary HonmaKonoha Ame-Suna Border, Inside the Compound, Harvest FestivalThere was no rest for the wicked. That was what Umary thought as she rubbed a kink out of her back. Both her and Noriko were on duty. Standing guard over a bunch of politicians wasn't the most exciting thing in the world, but it allowed her unprecedented access. If they discussed the Red Sages, she's hear it. Over three months ago Chieko had vanished from home. All of the family had looked for her after she didn't come back home after a week. After two weeks it was apparent that she had left for some reason. Noriko believes that she was taken. Umary wasn't sure. She had been close to her younger sister in a way Noriko could never be. Saw how Chieko chafed and struggled. Umary hoped she was wrong. Hoped with a passion. Still, here she was volunteering when she could have been with her father enjoying the festival. Of course she wasn't the only volunteer. Earlier the sisters had eaten lunch together before they had to separate for their shifts. Umary shifted again on her feet, trying to keep them from getting too sore. She also had to stifle a yawn. She had got appointed to this position because of her skills on barriers. In fact she had tags up bordering the area, just in case something did go wrong. There were four other shinobi with her to help maintain said barrier in the event. Despite all the preparation it appeared nothing was going to happen. They had been lulled into complicity with in action. So when a flare appeared overhead, Umary didn't give it much thought. Until people started screaming. "We're under attack!" "Help!" "Kekkai!" Umary, startled out of her horror, raised her hands. "Kekkai!" She shouted and a glimmering shield raised around her group of delegates, before settling, invisible. The other shinobi in the room had taken up similar stances to help maintain the barrier. Noriko HonmaKonoha Ame-Suna Border, At the Harvest FestivalNoriko was diligent. She stalked around the festival, glaring at everyone and everything, including the produce. Once she spotted her mother and father leaving one of the game areas and waved, but that was the extent of her impropriety. People scattered out of Noriko's way as the chunin surveyed the area. Not that she minded, it was the opposite in fact. They recognized true power when they saw it. Unlike some people. Noriko's thoughts were cut short when a flare flashed in the sky. The woman knew the itinerary. She knew it was out of place. Without a moment's hesitation she drew her Wakizashi and turned to the civilians around her. "You will want to seek shelter." Noriko's voice was deceptively calm, but one look at her face and her short sword sent the crowd scattering. It didn't hinder efforts that people started screaming. Sounds of battle erupted quickly. Noriko was able to quickly spot the red bands of the Red Sage. Morons, the whole lot. Murderers and Thieves and vagrants. They were the only ones stupid enough to attack the Confederacy. Two Red Sages charged at her, tossing exploding knives. She flicked them away from her contemptuously. Still moving the woman swayed to the side and kicked out at the man on the left. He crumpled with a grunt. Noriko turned her head and made the tiger seal and exhaled a ball of fire and set the right man on fire. He wailed but Noriko dismissed him to drive her Wakizashi through the left man's heart. Within a few seconds both were dead without any fan fare. With the two dispatched Noriko fell back on her standing orders. As much as the woman wanted to find her family and hold them close, they were shinobi, just as much as they were. So she's stay and protect the civilians from a grisly death and worry about things she couldn't change later.	The Honma Sisters “Power has only one duty - to secure the social welfare of the People.” Noriko is the tallest sister standing at five foot seven. She has long red hair and green eyes. She's rather fond of eye makeup and usually adds something to make herself look more intimidating. Like the rest of the women in her family, she is built like a rectangle. She's flat with no assets to speak of. On the trade off she is very densely muscled. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Noriko is the serious sister. She loves life and enjoys being a Ninja. However she isn't as competitive as her youngest sister. Nor does she feel obligated to be a Ninja. It merely was the logical decision in her mind. After all her parents were both ninjas and it felt natural to her. Overall Noriko is calculating. She comes across as cold to most people, but that's just because she doesn't care about them. The only people she cares about are her parents and her sisters. Sometimes Noriko has problems determining right from wrong. Excessive from light handed. She also enjoys having power over other people. Though she does know that's not quite right. She also know if she's not careful she'll go down a dark path. When things don't go her way, she will get even at a later time. 【History】 Norkio was the first born of her parents. Due to her parents both being Ninja, they were hardly around. Because of this it often feel to Noriko being the parent for her younger sisters. This propelled her to mature faster. Still, her nurturing nature made it's appearance and she never resented mothering her sisters. With taking care of her siblings practically a full time job Noriko didn't have much use for friends. Instead she dedicated her free time to learning ninjutsu and taijutsu. When she was of age she joined the ninja academy in Konohagakure. She pushed herself a lot harder than her teammates and it caused a large amount of tension. For Noriko wanted to be a chūnin as fast as she could, but her teammates didn't. Eventually she ditched her teammates to join another team, Daiki and Ichiro, going to the Chūnin Exams. Out of the three man team only Noriko and Daiki became chūnin. This severed all good will between Daiki and Ichiro. However during the exam Noriko and Daiki became friends which quickly progressed to lovers. Still it wasn't meant to last. Daiki resented how much time Noriko spent with her younger siblings and left her. Heartbroken, Noriko swore off men and instead redoubled her efforts on her shinobi skills. One day soon she hopes to become a Jounin and lead her own team. Currently Cheiko is missing and Noriko spends a lot of time trying to look for her. 【Family ties】 Noriko grew up in a ninja family. Her parents were often absent leaving her the responsibility to raise her siblings. This created a close bond between her and her siblings. All the women in her family, except Umary, are very competitive and hate to loose. Umary and their father are extremely laid back and often get walked over by the stronger personalities.

Then, given any cue, the user slams the sphere into the ground, causing it to explode with the power of pure heat behind it. The user is unaffected by this burst of power, but anyone within the radius of the blast suffers some unsettling consequences, such a major to minor burns, alongside the devastating concussive force it sends forth.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Umary is the cheerful middle child. She loves life and wants to enjoy it to the fullest. As the middle child Umary is often the last to be noticed. Sandwiched between two strong personalities she is often forgotten. But Umary often likes it best that way. She is often away from home spending time with friends. Because of this she was the most reluctant to become a Ninja. She would have rather not, but felt pressured it join. In the end she decided she could do good for shinobi. She is happy that the world is at peace. But the cracks in the peace worry her. Mostly her worries center around her sisters who are pulling opposite directions. 【History】 Umary was the middle child. Her earliest memories were of being taken care of by Noriko. It's strange, but her elder sister was always more of a mother to her. When her mother, Chou, actually began to be home for longer periods of time, it was an adjustment for all of them. At first Umary resented it. Her mother was a strong woman and often dismissed Umary out of hand because of her docile nature. Adding to her mother's return was the pressure to live up to their family's legacy. Eventually the desire to be loved and accepted drove Umary to becoming a Genin. It was at this point that her mother actually acknowledged her as a member of the family. Umary's time as a Genin wasn't the best time of her life. She spent a lot of time over at her teammate's homes and away from hers. In a way she was closer to others than her own family. It was during this time that she was happy to discover her abilities were like her father's. When she made the switch over to focusing on medical techniques life picked up. It was also in this same time period that her father returned from his missions and began to teach her his skills. Life of Umary was picking up. She had good friends. The love of her father. Noriko who loved her and Cheiko who was like a little puppy. With the help of her family she was able to pass the Chunin Exams. Ironically she was on the same team as her youngest sister Cheiko. As of the moment Umary is very happy being a chunin and has no further designs on upward movement. Still, she's using her connections to try and find Cheiko who's been gone too long. Though she suspects where Chieko went. 【Family ties】 Umary's parents were never at home during her younger years. Instead she was raised by her elder sister Noriko. When her mother came back home she ended up spending most of her time away from them and with her friend's family where she found nurturing environments. Because of this her bond to her family isn't as strong as her sisters. Though she loves her father very much.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Chieko, as the youngest child, always feels like she has something to prove. She's usually quite grumpy and takes everything way too seriously. She's always getting into fights with her sisters or her teammates. She doesn't much care what other people think of her as long as they acknowledge she's the strongest in her family. Her fierce drive pushes her harder then her sisters. Her default reaction in battle it to punch it until it stops moving. The only one who can curb her violent reactions is Umary. Despite Chieko's unhappy disposition she loves her family very much. Her true goal is to protect them, though she'll deny it to her last breath. 【History】 Chieko was the last child to be born to her parents. Shortly after she was born her mother left on a mission leaving her to be raised by her sister. This lead Chieko to believe that she wasn't worth it, that she was weak somehow. When she was young her mother took a break from being a shinobi and took back over the household. Her father did not. It wasn't until she hit her teens that her father was around regularly. When he is home he spends more time with her sister Umary, who inherited his power set. Which Chieko resents. In her younger years she'd push herself to become better. Sometimes she'd vanish for days before returning with a new skill, be it tai- or nin-. She was always a challenging person. Always unhappy with her own skills and viewing herself as never being good enough. She ran Noriko around and tried her best to give her eldest sister white hair. During her absences Chieko saw first hand that the Confederation wasn't all knowing and good. She saw injustice and ended up joining the Red Sages. Despite being two years younger than Umary she became a Chunin at the same time. She will tell anyone who will listen that Umary only passed because she had Chieko on her team. Becoming a Chunin was a proud achievement in Chieko's book. And indeed, it was a proud time for her family. Her Eldest sister then challenged her to make it to a Jounin before she did. Chieko started to make a good effort on her goal. Until the day she left to official join the Red Sages. One day a few weeks ago she packed a small bag and left without a word. Even though she knew it would cause her family pain. But it was the only way to keep them safe. If they knew she defected worse might happen to them. 【Family ties】 Chieko was raised in part by her sister Noriko and her mother. Both treated her more like a student than a daughter. She always felt that they never thought she was good enough. She also resented her father for paying attention only to Umary.

Description: An overall simple move that is generally taught to genin to assist in generating and controlling chakra for the sake of ninjutsu, the shinobi vents electric chakra from his entire body, causing anyone that touches or attacks him to receive minor electrical shocks and burns. Requires the user to not move while preforming this jutsu. Jutsu name: Raikou Boruto no Jutsu (Lightning Release: Lightning Bolt Technique) Rank: C Range: Medium/Long Description: A simple technique in concept and execution, in which the user performs the necessary handseals and then emits a short bolt of lightning from his or her hand. This is a simple bolt, akin to a fireball, as opposed to being a continuous stream. On impact, the target will suffer minor electric shocks. Jutsu name: Seiteki Chikara no Jutsu (Lightning Release: Static Force) Rank: D Range: At what range is this technique useful? You can measure this in 'long' 'medium' or 'short' but those are rather vague. If you want more depth, use a distance such as meters. Description: This jutsu utilizes electricity in order to create static electricity within the hands, this static electricity can have nearby things float to the users hands or repel things away with their hands. This jutsu is not offensive. It uses a lot of chakra if Cheiko wants it to be very strong. Jutsu name: Raiton: Yaiba no Jutsu (Lightning Release: Blade Technique) Rank: C Range: Short Description: This skill allows the user to charge chakra in the form of electricity in the palm. Then, the chakra eventually works up to the fingers, where a blade of electricity is formed between the index and middle finger. The blade is very thin, and depending on the user's chakra, anywhere from 8 inches to a foot long. It is around 2 to 3 inches wide, and it lacks a hilt. The blade is held between the fingers, but as soon as it is let go, the blade vanishes into thin air. The strength of this blade isn't as strong as a normal blade, as it is nowhere as dense or as heavy. But because the blade is very thin, it is capable of doing some major damage, if used properly. Jutsu name: Hikuhiku Eda no Jutsu (Twitching Limb Technique) Rank: C Range: Short/ Contact Description: After the user channels a large amount of electricity in to his hand, making the chakra visible, the user can attack a specific body area of his opponent and fire electricity into it once. Whatever area is struck the muscles immediately begin to constrict and twitch in extreme pain and causes the limb to be unable to move. Jutsu name: Denki Hifu no Jutsu (Electric Skin Technique) Rank: C Range: Short/Contact Description: Upgrade from Heki no Jutsu. Making a simple couple of hand signs the user makes sparks travel along their skin to power up lightning type jutsu's for 5 minutes. This move also makes it very difficult to make contact with the user for the danger of being severely electrocuted. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon name: Kunai. Weapon type: Knife Description: It's a throwing knife. Weapon name: Ninja Throwing Star Description: It's a throwing star.
51,104	1,381	11	2,400	2,978	Tetsuba Zaisette "That one looks like an explosive tag... No, wait. It just looks like more fluff" The clouds weren't putting on a very good show today. Zay crinkled his nose and shifted uncomfortably in the grass as sounds of dissatisfied farmers poured into his left ear. 'Damn Konoha' one grumbled, angrily stomping through the grass like an insufferable child, upset that his puny pumpkin hadn't been worth the judge's time. Something about those foreign farmers was awfully concerning. "Not much competition," Zaisette yawned, stretching his limbs into the soil before propping himself up on both elbows. The sky might have been a snore, but at least it didn't complain about its shy little clouds not winning first place in some contest. Judging by the sparse overcast though, the sky would probably be clear for the rest of the day. With a lack of any real work to be done, the conditions couldn't have been more perfect for Zay. He surveyed the mostly joyous crowds momentarily with a faint smirk, before sinking back into the worn patch of grass that he'd commandeered earlier in the day, and shutting his eyes. To Zay's disappointment however, A loud hissing noise didn't let him fall into a very deep sleep. Gritting his teeth, the silver haired shinobi opened his eyes wide, only to wince in surprise at the bright star above him. He loosely blocked his face with both hands, and sat upright, trying to discern the origin of the peculiar light. Was it fireworks? A meteorite? "Ah, yes," Zay grunted, recognizing that he'd been painfully glaring at a flare. As the light died down, Zay lowered his arms and stared at the dying flare, completely perplexed. "Odd," he rasped, falling onto his back once against with his arms stretched out. A child ran up to him before he could find peace though, giggling at the flare with a look of joy slathered across his muddy little face. "Fireworks!" The child shrieked, causing Zay to roll away in shock. Noisy little kid! That wasn't a firework, it was a- "...Flare!" Zay hissed, pushing himself off of the grass without delay. But before he could raise to his feet, the sound of explosions rang out through the festival grounds and staggered the confused Shinobi, sending him right back to the ground. Zay scrambled to his feet and spun around to see Red Sages swarming the festival, from every which way. "Ah hell." Before he could constitute much of a thought, his ally shinobi jumped into action and began to engage the enemy. Zay began to gather Chakra in his palms as he walked forwards slowly, looking for a way to assist his comrades. Well, looking for comrades that needed assisting, rather. The first thing to catch his eye was hopefully the last thing he would have to dedicate his attention to, and that'd been a rather flamboyant Red Sage who felt the need to spout arrogant nonsense, egging on the shinobi nearby to target him. What an idiot... Or was this a tactical ploy? It didn't matter, because before Zay could engage the annoying little fool, the sage was set off balance by another Shinobi's attack. A hyuga! Several clones also moved to intercept straight afterwards. The two confederate Shinobi would've been more than a match for that clown, if it weren't for yet another Red Sage stepping into the fray. "Water Release: Water Bullet!" He called out, firing a water-natured bullet towards the engaged Hyuga. That couldn't be allowed, and Zay had built enough Chakra by now to be of some use. But before he could rush to the Hyuga's aid, Zay felt something scrape past his shoulder. The sting of broken skin forced him to turn him around immediately. Zay tapped to two shallow shuriken wounds with his left thumb, leaving behind a small amount of liquid silver to seal them both, before he launching a slurry of shining goo towards the attacker behind him. It was a single Red-Sage Shinobi, and before he had a chance to dig his kunai into Zay's back, he slipped on the streak of silver liquid and was consumed in the same moment. Zay felt the assailant's flesh and bones mesh together into a useless pulp within the streak of liquid, and cringed at the sensation before calling his silver back. Zay turned back towards the blue-haired red sage Shinobi, delayed significantly by the pathetic attempt on his life. Nonetheless, his mirror pool was now a few yards in diameter. With its current size, Zay was able to rush towards Nori, relatively unencumbered by his Jutsu. Gathering chakra in his throat, fired a continuous flurry of silver balls from his mouth with only a second of preparation, aimed to strike the Red Sage Shinobi from roughly 17 yards away.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 In a word? Lazy. His lack of dedication, and methodical lifestyle is simply a byproduct of his mental lethargy. Zay is capable- Far more capable than most would like to admit, but his motivation does not match his potential. When speaking on his terms, rested and free of responsibility, Zay's speech is refined, polite, and he is very attentive to detail. In most cases however, Zay does not consider himself very 'rested' and acts completely aloof, purposely insulting the intelligence of others, and showing minimal interest in serious discussion. His attitude often causes conflict between him and his peers, making his life even harder than he already thinks it is, and perpetually forcing himself into a downward spiral. That being said, Zay perceives life itself as less than noteworthy, quoted as claiming the human heartbeat to be 'The body's most monotonous chore' on more than one occasion. Questions regarding his history or opinions on the general status of the Shinobi world are often met with a ballad of anecdotal references, and depressing metaphors that tend to highlight the negative aspects of being alive. Due to his seemingly infinite disdain towards basically everything, most perceive Zay as an angst ridden peon who cares nothing of his friends, family, or own well being. However, nothing could be farther from the truth. Despite what his nihilistic charade would suggest, he's a particularly caring individual that places tremendous importance on not only his own well-being, but that of all living things, and more importantly, the freedom they are entitled to. There's nothing more important to him than the heart that keeps him standing, and by extension, the people that give it the courage to beat freely. However, Zay prioritizes himself over all others. He claims that he would never risk his life, even if it were for the safety of a loved one. Truth be told, his attitude keeps him from actually developing any strong relationships, and his known family has been dead for years. Still, he considers his allies precious, and will do everything he can to keep their hearts beating if it doesn't end up putting his own life at serious risk. One could infer that Zay purposely distances himself from others to avoid the responsibility that coincides with friendship and romance, but since he is awfully secretive about his personal affairs, nobody's really been able to pry a solid explanation from his stubborn brain-case. 【History】 Zay's life started off rich with love and wealth. Born in Iwagakure, he lived out his infant years in the care of his mother and father, both of whom had little to worry about, easily living off of the funds that Ikaette Tetsuba, Zay's mother, earned from her career as a Shinobi for Iwagakure. Sadly, as expected, his mother eventually found herself caught up in the conflict brewing between the nations, which ultimately put her family at risk. As one of the few breathing Shinobi capable of advanced, and more often than not, forbidden Jutsu familiar within the dwindling Tetsuba Clan, interest in her Copper Release's industrial capabilities grew, and her family would soon find their beloved wife and mother, missing indefinitely. Zay's father took it upon himself to contact Ikaette's sister, Tskia, asking her to take Zay far from Iwagakure, hoping that she would be able to keep him safe. News of his death quickly rose to attention not more than a month after Tskia's departure, and left the Tetsuba Clan with only two living members. Tskia rose Zay as her own, treating him as the son she'd never had, and teaching him the basis of his family's ninjutsu. Even so, Zay was one to question every minute detail behind the lessons he'd received. this often lead to questions regarding the Tetsuba Clan, and by extension, his parents. Of course, Tskia was never at liberty to reveal much to Zay, in fear he'd get himself involved in the wars that might've followed the last. Due to the secrecy that enveloped his training however, Zay didn't take to his aunt's lessons very kindly, and instead spent all of his time training himself in the art of silver Release with his aunt's wisdom as a very loose basis. When the conflict between nations ceased, Tskia was beyond relieved, quickly adopting the ideals of the Hamajō Confederation as they took to power, and bastardizing the red Sages for their naive outlook on the way society had 'evolved' so to speak. She tried her best to instill these beliefs on a young teenage Zaette, but unfortunately for her, he was not concerned with her thought process on the matter. Fortunately, that didn't mean he sympathized with the red sages, either. His neutrality would prove a trying obstacle for Tskia to deal with in the coming years, and it strained their relationship quite significantly. Tskia would become more and more loyal to the teachings of Hamajō, while Zay would become less and less concerned with the goings-on around him, or his aunt. On his 14th birthday, it became painfully evident that Zay would not play any major role in the fight between Hamajō and the Red sages. That's what his aunt would believe, and to this day, that hasn't changed. At the age of 17, around the time that Zay had achieved the rank of Chuunin, Tskia had fallen fatally ill, and was home-bound. Although it was difficult, Zay was forced to support both himself and his aunt on what little money he could earn through the few missions he was approved for. Ultimately, Tskia passed away, leaving Zay to fend for himself. On her death bed, Tskia told Zay of his parents and their fate, along with the history of their family. Although he didn't change the way he behaved, his aunt's death, and his family's history took a serious toll on his inner thoughts, and changed the way he looked at life, and death. Zay, without a mentor, continued to develop his silver release on his own. Zay now spends his time conducting missions as a registered shinobi. When he isn't on assignments, sleeping, or training his jutsu, Zay spends all of his time outside, walking outside city limits as much as he can. 【Family ties】 Zay has no living relatives to his own knowledge, but it's likely that some have survived to this day. Regardless, he doesn't care enough to look into the possibility. 【Dreams and fears】 "I dream of a world where everyone can lay their backs against softened grass, and gaze at clouds without fear of fire or fist" "Spiders are horrible, but they kill moths, and moths are a plague on my very sanity" Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Zay harnesses the power of his silver release almost exclusively. That is to say, he refuses to even acknowledge Taijutsu, Genjutsu, and most other ninjutsu as a viable option of combat. Zay is proficient at close-mid range combat, with limited long-range options. He focuses on a iron-hard defense to compensate for his lack of ranged options. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Silver Release Description: Silver release allows members of the Tetsuba Clan to mold fire and Earth chakra natures into a shimmering metallic liquid, hence the name 'silver release'. This substance can be used in a plethora of different ways using subsequent jutsu as long as the user's chakra remains infused inside of the liquid, but without proper concentration, it is impossible to do much more than move it along the ground at a snails pace. It is also impossible to control this liquid if it travels more than 15 yards away from the user. If any of this substance leaves the user's 15 yard radius, whether it is in solid or liquid form, will quickly dissolve into raw chakra. Users can also reabsorb this liquid to replenish their chakra pool with diminished returns. Due to these limitations, silver release users are not very mobile, and instead rely on the agility and durability of their jutsu. In use, the silver liquid acts as a base for several techniques. The most common application is consuming opponents in range and smothering them to death. It can however be hardened to create temporary weapons, large scale attacks, barriers, armor, and various mechanisms relative to the user's knowledge of the technology they are trying to mimic. More advanced users of Silver release can sense the presence of other living things within their pool as long as they are connected by a constant stream of chakra, coat their entire body in an armor that removes their sense of sight and hearing but makes them nearly impervious to physical assaults, temporarily patch wounds by fusing the liquid with their skin, heat the liquid to boiling temperatures, and in very rare cases, transfer their body instantaneously from one section of their puddle to another with a delayed reemergence. It's rumored that certain Tetsuba could create golden, Copper, and even mercury based liquid metals, but nothing has been confirmed, and their lineage runs so thin that it's difficult to confirm or deny such rumors. Members of the Tetsuba Family are known to have very pale skin, reflective white hair, and silver blood. These effects appear to be purely cosmetic and otherwise have no effect on their biology whatsoever. Tetsuba Shinobi Strengths: Ray's mastery of Silver release is exceptional, and it wouldn't come as a surprise considering he does not practice any ninjutsu that would not coincide with his Kekkei Genkai. At his current mastery, Zay can keep a constant pool of Silver going at the full 15 yards from his body for a considerable amount of time before it begins to strain his Chakra reserves. His mid-close range combat is unmatched in many scenarios, disallowing easy movement within his radius without immediate danger. His liquid can nullify most wind natured ninjutsu, protect against some earth/water/fire natured ninjutsu, and offer substantial protection from most forms of attacks when hardened en-masse. Zay's agility with his silver allows him to cast jutsu in quick succession, giving the liquid considerable agility when he is focused. Weaknesses: Without a ready supply of silver, Ray is practically defenseless, only able to conjure weapons and small short-range projectile type jutsu quickly enough to defend himself. Even with a pool at the ready, Zay is incapable of firing ranged attacks outside of his range effectively. His mobility with the pool is also very slow, and he cannot travel long distances without being encumbered by his jutsu. While channeling a substantial pool of silver, Ray requires immense concentration, disallowing him to move his body too quickly at risk of his entire jutsu falling apart momentarily. If he is forced to dodge, or struck by anything that would interrupt his concentration, any hardened liquid could instantaneously melt back down into liquid form, and any silver under his control will fall back into his pool, including any weapons or armor he's equipped himself with. Additionally, his silver is highly-conductive, allowing lightning-natured jutsu to travel effortlessly along the entire expanse of the pool as long as it is connected, or close enough to allow a current to travel throughout. Certain Lightning-natured Jutsu can also pierce through any solidified silver effortlessly, and even destroy portions of his liquid. Conjuring the liquid, albeit quick, also requires an initial Chakra dump that nearly drains Zay of half his energy. Additionally, Zay can only sustain a pool for about 10 minutes before he runs out of energy, assuming he rations his chakra sparingly. 【Ninja techniques】【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Silver Release: Forge Rank: D Range: Short-Medium Description: Creates a weapon or device based on the user's knowledge and skill either somewhere in a mirror pool nearby, or in the user's hand using newly created liquid silver. The weapon's strength is on par with average steel, and resonate with Chakra very well. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Constellation Rank: D Range: Medium Description: Fires an array of tiny silver balls from either the user's mouth, or from any point in his mirror pool, with a width of about 15 feet. These have the potential to break skin and heavily bruise upon impact, but are not usually deadly. Can travel up to 25 Yards away from the user despite his limitation, but once leaving the 15 yard radius, they decrease in power to a point of absolute worthlessness. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Mirror Pool Rank: C Range: Short-Medium Description: The basis of Zay's Jutsu. Creates a reflective pool as the user's feet that spread out quickly. Can be channeled to extend the range of the pool, or to absorb the chakra infused in the liquid with diminished returns. This liquid can be controlled with the user's Chakra while it exists. The user can sense anyone touching the Silver if they are within his radius, and 'feel' their chakra network. All attacks within range, liquid or solid, are considered part of the Mirror pool. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Boiling Flow Rank: C Range: Short Description: The user instantly heats up a section of liquid silver for a few seconds. Effect persists if the liquid is solidified, allowing for heated jutsu followups. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Tempid Mail Rank: C Range: N/A Description: Covers the user's skin in a thin layer of liquid silver that can be hardened at will with other Jutsu types. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Solid Wall Rank: C Range: Short-Medium Description: Raises a wall at any point in the mirror pool to intercept an attack. Fast, but not effective as an offensive option. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Solid Mail Rank: B Range: N/A Description: Covers the user in a thick layer of hardened steel. Blocks nearly all forms of attack, but blocks out the user's sense of Smell, Sight, And Hearing. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Tepid Flow Rank: B Range: Short-Medium Description: Slices forth with a blade of liquid silver from any point within the user's radius, with enough force to sever limbs. Cannot break through guards, but will not be stopped unless blocked in its entirety; Due to its liquid nature, it will simply phase around swords and small shields. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Solid Flow Rank: B Range: Short-Medium Description: Launches a solid spike from any point in the user's mirror pool. The thicker the spike, the stronger, and slower, the strike. Often used in quick succession to create multiple spikes at once. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Tether Rank: A Range: Long Description: The user coats his hand in a rubbery silver, with a higher concentration of chakra, and extends it into a amorphous whip, which they can then fling around for about a minute before it loses form. While active, this tether acts as an extension of the user's chakra network, allowing it to exist outside the normal range of the user's pool, and increasing their pool's range to be 15 yards from wherever the tether reaches. This tether can also latch onto targets, including shinobi, but cannot be detached from the user unless they cancel the jutsu. Requires a large amount of chakra to form. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Zay carries no Ninja weaponry, and prefers to create his own.
51,105	1,381	12	1,918	8,262	Tatsuya Kajiya-Terumi "And here I thought that this'd be an easy assignment." Tatsuya cursed as the explosions shook the ground, Red Sage shinobi storming in behind a silver haired woman riding a salamander as they took advantage of the confusion to score some casualties on the Confederate side. Tatsuya growled as he saw a few of them kill civilians, unsheathing Ketsui as he charged forward to enter the fray, taking down a few Red Sage shinobi and defending some civilians from the rebel forces until he saw one of the sages launch an attack at what could only be one of his allies, a Hyuuga by the fighting style. Rushing in between the two with Ketsui sheathed, he was already running through a short stream before he unleashed his jutsu. "Katon: Burning Rush." The fires rushed over him in a sphere of flames, intercepting the stream of water in a burst of steam. However, while this stopped the attack, the second part of the jutsu was negated as the fires were extinguished, the two attacks canceling each other. Still, a decent smoke screen had been formed from the steam, something that Tatsuya planned to take advantage of while he could. He'd managed to notice someone else rushing in to attack the sage who'd launch the attack before the steam had, so he couldn't do anything to drastic. Running through a couple hand seals, he formed a shadow clone, who immediately sunk into the ground using the Subterranean Voyage jutsu, before he himself launched forward, drawing Ketsui and activating it's fire Chakra mode as he aimed to slash at his foe while he was distracted. Akio Tendou . . . Fuck, I could really use a drink. Akio thought grumpily as she paced around the festival grounds, tapping her fingers against her thigh as she battle with the urge to get just one tiny little drink from one of the stalls. She was on duty, and drinking on the job was not only unprofessional, but general a bad idea. You always had to be ready for anything to happen, even on seemingly easy missions like this . . . But I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to have just one, right? As Akio struggle with a bit of indecision, she noticed a strange light fly up into the sky. As she followed the flare up into the sky, a low curse escaped her lips, though it was soon encompassed by the sounds of explosions and combat as Red sage shinobi attacked the area. Akio quickly leaped up and over several stalls before finding a vantage point on a poll high above the fighting, clicking her teeth as she ran through a stream of handseals. "Raiton: Thunder Bow jutsu." She said in a low tone, electricity forming in her hand and quickly taking the shape of a long bow. Placing her hand against the side of it, she quickly drew back a bolt, taking aim before firing it at some unsuspecting rebel. hitting him in the back of the head and scrambling his brain long enough for another shinobi to take him down. she'd repeat this process a few more times, assisting in the death of several shinobi at the hands of her comrades before she noticed the silver haired woman making her way through the chaos on the back of Salamander. That must be the leader, huh, and she seems to have a bit of an honor guard as well. Akio thought to herself as she drew another bolt, though instead of loosing it, she instead began charging it, aiming to fire a piercing shot so that their was lest chance of the jutsu getting blocked by one of those guarding her. However, it'd take some time to charge it up, so she'd have to keep an eye out incase someone tried to take her out before she could fire the shot.	Name: Katon: Phoenix Egg Bomb(Subject to change) Rank: A Range: Mid Description: After making the needed hand seals, Akio conjures up a concentrated inferno of blazing heat, focusing it over her palm. It'll take a post for this jutsu to charge up, but when it does the flames will take on a egg-like shape as Akio thrusts her hand out to launch it at her foes. Upon impact with an object, the egg will explode with a huge amount of force and intense white hot heat. The radius of the explosion would be somewhere between 5-10m, though the intense heat can be felt from much farther away, burning skin, drying up moisture in the air, and causing fatigue through dehydration if an enemy is caught near the edge of the blast. The explosion itself takes the form of a phoenix rising high into the sky. The flames that the explosion created will stay for about 2 posts, however, the heat lessening by a great deal until it finally fizzes out. At this point, Aoi can use this jutsu with little strain, upping her usage to about 6 times before it starts to take it's toll. Seiteki Suji no Jutsu (Static Strings Technique) Rank:D Description: This skill allows the user to create strings of electricity that can either act physically as strings, or as a medium that can send small shocks to an opponent. One of this technique's most useful features is its ability to allow the user to detect outsiders. When the strings are placed around an area, they are often fairly difficult to see, and unnoticed by the quick eye. But when the string is used to detect outsiders, they can adapt a quality that is string-like and electrical at the same time. This quality makes the static strings into a string of electricity, but with such a weak current that it is rarely noticed by Shinobi who accidentally walk through the strings. However, when this happens, the user at once will feel a small shock in their fingers, or where ever else they are keeping the strings intact. But unless the opponent felt the weak current as they walked through the strings, the opponent will usually never know the strings were there. But beyond its ability to detect outsiders, this skill can be used as a normal string when it is needed but none is around, or it can be used to create small shocks to other people. However, the shocks are only a little bit stronger than static electricity, and usually do no damage at all. Jutsu Name: Raiton: Thunder Bow Rank B Range Mid to Long Can be fired at a target up to a 100m away Description: Akio forms a bow out of lightning chakra, from which she can draw back and fire bolts of electricity from, the amount of power dealt depending on how long she holds it for. A quick draw only does a low-medium amount of damage and has no lingering effects. A Charged shot, which takes about 1 post to form up, does a fair deal more damage and will leave the target temporarily stunned if direct contact is made. The charged shot can also be split into four homing shots, which'll lock onto the opponents chakra signature. These only do slightly more damage than a quick shot on their own, but if all three hit the same target, then the damage can be even greater than a charged shot and can explode out to damage foes within a meter of the target. Akio can now fire a detonation shot with a charged up bolt, which is less powerful overall, but can paralyze a whole group of individual for a few moments. She can also create a piercing shot, which has more focused electrical energy for more power and damage, but has reduced ranged as well, only being able to go about half as far as a normal charged shot. The piercing shot can pierce through most standards armors and defensive jutsu of equal rank or lower, not including elemental weakness into play, in which it can probably partially get through lower A-rank Earth Style Jutsu and be halted by upper C rank Wind Style jutsu. Static strings can be attached to the quick fire shots, so that if they hit, the user can hold the foe in place by running a constant stream of electricity through it, locking her muscles in place. If this is done, neither Akio nor the target can move so it's not a good move for one on one, but good for lining up holding an enemy in place for another teammate to take down. Edit: Through training, Akio has managed to work down the weakness of her static strings down so that only one of her limbs is paralyzed and not her whole body, meaning that she won't be able to form jutsu while holding a foe down, but she can still move, dodge attacks, and counterattack reasonable well, though she still has to be able to keep some focus on the connection while moving, or else it'll break, thus she won't be able to move as fast as she normally could. Katon: Myaku Hitofuki no Jutsu (Fire Release: Pulse Blast Technique) Rank: B Range: Close to Mid Description: An extremely useful jutsu, this one has the effect of flushing out or separating multiple opponents. Hurling a fireball about the size of a basketball, it is meant to be dodged in order to be effective. For at center of this fireball is a gaseous core which, when the spherical attack finally makes contact with something, will explode and this gas will expand rapidly in a loud bang. The bang is simply a precursor though, as instantly afterwards a sharp concussive force will issue out all around the center of the blast. Though the explosion of the attack itself is not very strong, the force it sends out is enough to knock anyone who is within a certain radius of it flying. Katon: Kudakasei no Jutsu (Fire Release: Shatter Force Technique) Rank: A Range: Close Range technique, with the base diameter of the blast radius being around 5 meters Description: Built upon the principles of Katon: Myaku Hitofuki no Jutsu, this technique instead acts as a much more powerful, centralized version. Gathering heat in between both hands the user focuses it until it cannot be condensed further. Manifested as a sphere of raw, glowing energy it is at first held at bay as if only for show. Then, given any cue, the user slams the sphere into the ground, causing it to explode with the power of pure heat behind it. The user is unaffected by this burst of power, but anyone within the radius of the blast suffers some unsettling consequences alongside the devastating concussive force it sends forth. This technique, by sheer strength alone, has even been known to crack boulders. Separate effects of the jutsu are that the intense heat dehydrates any opponents caught within the radius of the blast, drawing them closer to fatigue, blurring their vision and causing mild headaches all the while. Minor, first-degree burns may also result from this technique. Jutsu Name: Raiton: Raikou Hitofuki no Jutsu (Lightning Release: Lightning Blast Technique) Rank: C Range: Close to Mid Description: This jutsu allows the user to fire off a continuous blast of electrical energy at an opponent, causing only minor burns but a great deal of pain as it courses through the foes system. Jutsu Name: Raiton: Cloak of the Thundering Phoenix Rank: S Range: Self Description: A Variant of the Lightning Armor Jutsu, this jutsu cloaks the Akio in an intense aura of electricity that takes the form of phoenix around them. While under the influence of this jutsu, Akio's speed, reaction time, and physical attack power gains a substantial increase, though not to the level that is seen by users of the original technique, as well as boosting the power of her Raiton jutsu, thus negating the charge up of her more power Thunder bow attacks. She can also up her mobility on the battlefield by gliding and hovering in the air for short periods of times using the wings this jutsu gives her, though she has yet to achieve true flight using this technique. Finally, the wings can also be formed into a defensive wall at a moments notice, incase she's targeted by an attack she can't dodge, but they can only block a single attack of up to A-rank in power, and Wind Style jutsu of Mid A-rank and higher will always be able to partially get through these defenses. Once the attack has been blocked, the wings will disperse and Akio will spend the remainder of the jutsu's duration moving at a reduced speed compared to before, though still noticeably faster than her base speed, as well as no longer being able to hover or glide due to the loss of her wings. This jutsu duration is for about 6 posts, though it can be lengthened to up to 9 by feeding more chakra into it, though this worsens the drawback once the jutsu ends. After the base duration runs out, her entire body will become numb and cause her speed and reaction time to drop as a result. This lasts for about three posts, but if she lengthened it, it can lengthen to about 6 posts and only allows her to move at a third of her base speed. If she tries to go over that limit, though possible, it will result in her body becoming completely paralyzed, as well as the obvious threat of chakra exhaustion. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon: Shuriken Description: A basic tool every ninja should have, it can be lethal if it hits a vital spot, but they are also good in creating some space for the fighter. Tool: Chakra Pill Description: Weapon: Kunai Description: A basic tool every ninja should have, it's the only weapon Akio has when it comes to CQC fighting. Weapon: Tanto Description: A short, straight, single edged dagger that has no point and is used primarily for slashing attacks. Weapon: Ninja Wire Description: A strong metal wire that can be used in various ways. Weapon: Senbon Description: A precision tool that, despite it's low lethality, can be very effective in slowing down and paralyzing an opponent if they are placed in the right place. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 After the war and her break-up with Aoi, Akio has become a very emotionally withdrawn individual, focusing only on either training or her duties as a shinobi, and spending very little time socializing with others anymore. While she still has the sarcastic remark or joke ready whenever it's needed, she no longer talks with people in depth. If they try to get to know her personally, she'll either redirect the conversation away from herself or just shut down, not speaking another word until the person gets the message and leaves her alone. Along with this, Akio has developed a bit of a drinking habit, not a terrible one, but noticeable. She always tends to have one bottle of some form of liquor on her when not on a mission, and she can be a bit cranky at times on missions due to the fact that she can't drink while on the job, a self-imposed rule so that her habit never interferes with her work. On really bad days, however, one could find Akio totally hammered in her home, in which she becomes a depressive, self-loathing mess that is constantly asking people to comfort her and listen to her problems, as well as provide . . . other forms of relief. 【History】 Before the massacre, her life wasn't really that great as her father saw her as nothing as a mistake and an embarrassment for two reasons. The first is that she was a bastard child, a mark of shame on his honor as the Tendou family patriarch, though it was that same honor that duty bound him to take the child in, as her mother had died during childbirth. The second reason was that she was never good enough, and while she wasn't the most skilled of individuals, she was still rather good, some would say better than most. But it was never enough for Akira Tendou, he demanded perfection, and severely punished those who did not meet his requirements. And as she hardly ever did, she was often met with scorn from her father, who never once acknowledged her as his daughter. And while that should've devastated her, she didn't find herself minding too much. She never once considered Akira Tendou as her father in the sense that he was a man to come to with her woes, worries, and needs, as that regard went to her older brother, Kokatsu. Ever since she came into their home, Kokatsu was extremely protective of her, getting into several fights with Akira and most of them ending in some sort of violence. Since she was young, she never got to see Kokatsu darker side, and she believes that he wanted to keep it that way as he made extreme efforts to avoid telling her about his job in any specific detail. He also expressed some sorrow when it became apparent that she was going to be joining the Shinobi forces, though never actively spoke out against it, unlike her father who was certain that she'd never pass and if she did, never make it pass a lowly genin. If things had continued as normal, then he may have been right, for even she had begun to doubt her self and her reasons for becoming a ninja, of whether she was ready for the life they lived. But instead, soon after her seventh birthday, all hell broke loose. A ceremony was held, as Akira had decided to pass on his position as Clan Patriarch to his son, claiming he had never been prouder for him. Kokatsu took the Tendou blade(an artifact past down from Patriarch to Patriarch since before the elemental nations were even concieved) and, with a smile as bright as the sun, slew his father where he stood, dropping the weapon to perform a quick string of handsigns before slamming his fingers into the fresh corpse. An eerie red light rose from the ground around him, and it was until many months after the event that she would hear that at the time, seals popped up all throughout the city. And so it was that Kokatsu opened a portal between this world and a world of darkness to unleash death upon all who lived within it. Only a single order was given, spare the children of the Tendou clan, they had done no wrong. And so it was that behind a veil of darkness, hundreds if not thousands died horrid, painful deaths, all the while a menacing laugh would echo through out it all. When the barrier fell and the demons fled, Kokatsu held out his hand for Akio to grab, only for her to flinch away, looking at her blood trenched sibling in horror. Akio couldn't remember a time where her brother had looked more hurt then at that time, and yet she also couldn't remember a time where he seemed more relieved. He offered no pressure or force, just left without a word, and leaving her alone in a nightmare of blood, death, and sorrow. After the event, the Tendou children were taken in and eventually handed over to adoptive parents to raise them. Of those children, four would go insane from the trauma of what they witnessed as they grew up, one even committing suicide after slaughtering his adoptive parents. Tendou children where treated with a mix of pity, fear, and for Akio, hatred. Given how closely related she was to Kokatsu, there were people, kids especially, who would take out their grief of lost loved ones out on her. This made it hard for her to trust and approach people, and also made it so she hated her features that so easily gave her away. But in the midst of these hardships, an ember began to burn bright with newly discovered passion. She developed a burning drive to train herself, to become as strong as possible. She was able to pass the academy with only minor difficulties, and did her best in her genin missions no matter what the they were. However, in the early years of her life, this passion nearly consumed her, as she withdrew from everyone, constantly running herself into the ground, and then some, for a reason that she wasn't even sure of. In actuality, she felt partially to blame for what happened to Kokatsu, thinking in her subconscious mind that if she had somehow been there for him more, it could've been avoided. As life went on, however, she found herself to be taken unde the wing of Tsukiko Umene. The older jonin would drop by from time to time to check up on her, and if she felt it necessary, beat her in to shape. While at first Akio resented the woman, she eventually began to grow more attached to her as time went on, to the point where she thinks of the wild woman as the big sister she never had. Due to Tsukiko's influence, Akio began to open up to other people a little more and try to overcome her weaknesses. Also because of Tsukiko, the young Tendou can tend to have a rather vivid and imaginative vocabulary when sufficiently angered or upset, as well as having a bit of a nasty temper. As of now, she's living in a rented apartment in downtown, having moved away from her foster parents the moment she became a genin, never to speak to them again. The war was a defining moment in Akio's life . . . and not for the better. while she wasn't a stranger to loss or violence, she had never felt in the scale that she had in the war. Many good friends died in the fighting, only to die in vain as the Confederation came to rule everything. However, instead of being filled with anger and indignation, she just felt broken and afraid. As she recovered, she began to withdraw from the world, drinking more often, and geting into fights with her girlfriend Aoi, until it finally culminated in Akio breaking it off in a fit of drunken passion. She immediately regretted it afterwards, but instead of going after her and begging forgiveness, she simply let the relationship die. Despite still having strong feelings for Aoi, she just didn't want to feel the pain of losing her, imagining that it'd be worse than anything else she'd ever experienced. Since she couldn't force Aoi to stop being a kunoichi, she decide that it'd be best for the two o end their relationship, thinking it'd be easier for both of them in the long run. This belief has long since died in her mind, as she only continues to feel more and more empty inside, but she feels like it's much much too late to fix her mistake. So she lives her days in misery, with her only companions being the alcohol she keeps by her side and the odd stranger that it invites to her bed every so often. 【Family ties】 Akio feels nothing for her family name, and had nothing but fear for her father. Her brother and a few of the braver clan members were the only ones in her family to show her any kindness, though not without punishment. Her foster family after the Massacre were kind at first, but soon grew distant as she showed a great lack in interest in them. After that, they simply ignored her and she ignored them. Not the perfect home, but it was peaceful at least.

As for fears, she still fears losing Aoi, and their separation has only intensified this fear, as now not only will she lose her former lover, but she'll lose any chance for reconciliation.

That's a good motto, right?” Tatsuya is tall at around 6'2, and has a rather muscular upper body due to his work in the forge. His hands and arms are covered with numerous scars, burns and callouses due to the work he does every day, but he wears them with pride as they are the symbol of all his hard work. His red eyes come from his father, and shiny red hair comes from his mother. He also has a tattoo on his upper right arm of Ketsui lodged in the mouth of an active volcano. He got it the day he became a Genin as a symbol to never forget the determination it took to get him there, so that no matter how long the road to greatness looked, he'd never give up. His normal clothing style is usually a plain white T-shirt, some jeans and steel toed boots( a nessecity in his profession). He sometimes where a jacket if it;s cold enough for one, but more often than not, that's it for his casual wear. His combat outfit is a black, long sleeve shirt, a jacket over that, black combat pants and shinobi sandals. Personnel files.

Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Tatsuya is a more weapon-based fighter, specialized in Kenjutsu mostly, as that is the weapon he uses most often, and has the most skill in using. That being said, his Taijutu is serviceable enough that he's not completely defenseless without his weapons, but it'll only do him so well for so long, especially against a skilled Taijutsu fighter. His Ninjutsu is also quite good, with a focus on controlling the battlefield rather than simply blasting his opponents away. Up close, Tatsuya is a very good fighter, but he often has issues against distance opponent unless he can figure out a way to get them to come to him. He can either uses his jutsu to force his foe closer, or takes the battle to them instead. When it comes to using his Kekkei Genkai, he can sometimes use it to distract his opponents by making the ground underneath their feet really hot via forming lava just below the surface. A sneaky, but effective strategy, especially when facing an enemy of a higher skill level than him, as that split second distraction could give him just the edge he needs to either escape, or end a fight. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Lava Release Description: The lava release is a very versatile Kekkei Genkai that has multiple variations and abilities depending on how one uses it. For Tatsuya, he bears an affinity for manipulating volcanic materials like as Magma making a very, very deadly opponent to go up against. His Lava attacks can change the very battlefield, giving him a good amount of Offensive, defensive, and crowd controlling abilities. An added plus to this ability is that one can convert certain earth-style techniques into Lava style ones, at the cost of an increased chakra cost. With some practice, Tatsuya has also been able to create a rubber-like material as well, which he can change the consistency of his chakra to make it work as an adhesive. While he's not skilled enough with it yet to use it in battle, in time it could add to his crowd control and supportive abilities. Tatsuya himself suffers no ill effects from his use of this ability, and seems to have a bit of heat resistance as well, though not enough to make a real difference against a fire jutsu(this doesn't include his own lava, which he's immune to). It's a neat party trick for him to snuff out a cigarette on with his hands, but that's about it. Strengths: The lava style is a highly variable ability, granting nearly unparalleled offensive capability, effective defenses, and crowd control capabilities. Weaknesses: Lava attacks can be effectively countered by a strong enough Water attack, cooling down the magma into rock. Also, this ability is highly destructive, endangering both friend and foe if Tatsuya isn't careful about what abilities he uses and how he uses them. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: B rank techniques: Shadow Clone Jutsu C rank techniques: Fire Release: Crimson Earth Spider Earth Release: Subterranean Voyage D-E rank techniques: 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu Name: Doton: Ishi Yoroi no Ude (Earth Release: Stone Bracers) Rank: D Range: Self Description: By taking dirt and rubbing it on their arms or legs, after performing the necessary hand seals, a shinobi is able to create very durable defensive bracers that add extra protection when using the arms to block. The chakra that is infused in them help to soften the blows of any physical attacks. These are very useful for taijutsu users or to defend against an onslaught of upper body blows. These bracers are designed to block physical attacks only. However, by channeling Yoton Chakra into the Jutsu, the rocks and what not can heat up to a degree that while the burns they cause are minor, they can be extremely painful and distracting to the opponent. Jutsu Name: Tsuchi Tou Tou (Swift Earth) Rank: D, B with the addition of Yoton chakra/used with his Lava Creation Jutsu Range: Current range would be 10 meter at maximum, with 2 meter width, and the earth moves at high speeds Description: When performing this jutsu the user places his hands on the ground and causes it to move rapidly away as if it were a conveyor belt. As the shinobi increases in skill and rank the size, speed, and range of this jutsu all increase. While little more than a delaying tactic, if mixed with Lava Creation, it can create a rather deadly surge of lava heading straight toward the target at high speeds. Jutsu name Lava Style: Lava Creation Rank: B Range: 2 meters in diameter from the starting point Description: The user will first channel chakra into the ground, thus turning the ground to lava. The process is quick, as the ground will melt away into the liquid-like lava. This lava can be used to aid in his other lava based jutsu by creating a source which he can manipulate, instead of creating it himself. To increase the base area that is converted, the user must have both of his hands in contact with the ground. Jutsu Name Lava Style: Lava Spray Rank: B Range: Mid Description: After making the needed handseals, Tatsuya builds up Lava Style chakra inside of his gut before blasting out a jet of molten lava into the air, causing a dangerous and widespread rain of lava droplets to fall to the ground. The spread of this jutsu makes it nearly impossible to dodge, though it can be blocked if the foe has the capability. Alternatively, Tatsuya can also just fire the magma jet directly at the foe in a fast moving stream. Jutsu Name Lava Style: Weapon Creation Rank: D Range: Any active Lava source with in 30 meters Description: The user of this jutsu will first channel chakra into an active source of lava, which will cause it to rise up quickly and making the lava thicker then usual, allowing the user to then mold it into a weapon with a few simple gestures. The weapons created will be about as hard as steel, but are usually rather crude and blunt. Jutsu Name Katon: Nenshou Tosshin (Fire Release: Burning Rush) Rank: C Range: Sphere goes is 2 meters long in diameter Description: A two-part technique in which the user blocks an attack by creating a sphere of fire around themselves, and after blocking the attack, the fires converge on his feet, cloaking them in flames. The fire on his feet can be used twice to launch him at his foes somewhat faster than before. The effect lasts for about 3 posts. Jutsu Name Lava Style: Eruption Rank: A Range: Affected area would be have a diameter of about 25-30 meters, power explosions have a blast radius of about 10 meters(one or two holes), 8 meters for 3 or 4, 4 meters for 5 or 6, 2 meters for 7 or 8. Description: In preparation for this technique, Tatsuya will channel chakra through the earth to create Yoton beneath it's surface over a period of time (2 Posts). As a result of this action, the surface of the affected area will become noticeably hotter as the lava beneath is pushed toward the surface by the built up pressure. Tatsuya can then release this build up pressure by creating small craters in the ground with either explosion tags, thus releasing this pent up magma in a explosive Mini-eruption at every point where a hole was created. The more holes the smaller the explosion will be, and vice versa in that less holes will equal more power explosions. With the combination of the explosion and lava this jutsu can lead to severe injuries and even death if a foe is got unaware. It can also create several lava pools after use, which Tatsuya can then use to his advantage to control how his opponent moves around the battlefield. A side effect of this technique is that it will lead to a nasty surprise to anyone trying to move underground or using ground shifting Dojutsu. The former for obvious reasons, and the latter because it will weaken the ground around them, causing the jutsu to activate prematurely. Weaknesses are the preparation time, making it something that can't be effectively used without either a teammate or pre-planning. It can also be activated prematurely by the above method, and can't be used in certain areas. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Tool Name: Bag of Dirt Description Enough said, for Stone Bracers when there isn't much dirt around. Just in case Weapon Name: Ketsui Weapon Type A double-edged Bastard Sword Description Ketsui is the sword that Tatsuya had to make to be allowed to become a shinobi by his father, a blade of unquestionable quality and a showing of true talent and hard work to be made by one as young as him. NOt only does it have a keen edge and made from durable metal, but during the forging process(where a mix of traditional and modern techniques were applied) he inscribed special seals into the metal to give it an extra function. The blade could now store elemental chakra with in itself and circulate it through the blade more effectively, enabling it to more effectively take on the aspects of whatever element it pumped into it. This also makes it capable of forming advanced chakra natures, such as Tatsuya's own Lava Release, with remarkable ease. And since it's able to store chakra as well, that means that one can fully charge it before a mission and activate and deactivate the seals inside with a simple one handed seal and a little chakra. Chakra effects: Fire: The blade is wreathed in a thin, but intense veil of fire, allowing it to cut through metals with only moderate difficulty and cause third degree burns. Earth:The blade becomes denser and more durable Lava: The Blade becomes as Hot as Molten Lava, cutting through metal with ease as well as getting a slight increase in durabilty The charge is big enough that it can keep the blade active for a total of 5 posts. The Lava style requires more chakra, however, so he can only hold that for about 3 posts instead of 5. Tool Name: First Aid Kit Description A basic medical kit that holds several chakra pills, first aid supplies Weapon name: Shuriken Description: Sharpened, four-pronged metal stars, useful for throwing. They can also be used for close combat, but not very efficiently. Although small, they can be used to distract, pin down enemy shinobi, or if accurate enough, can kill or incapacitate an enemy. They have an open circle in the centre, useful for grabbing with a finger, to avoid cutting oneself, or to put thread through. The circle is also beneficial to the weapon's overall aerodynamics, ensuring more accurate trajectories. Weapon name: Kunai Description: A black dagger with a handle wrapped in bandages and a small ring attached to the end of it. The kunai is designed for thrusting and stabbing, though it can still do some damage if thrown despite not being designed for it, and is about the length of one's hand. Weapon name: Explosive tags Description: These tiny slips of paper with seals drawn on them can pack quite a punch if used correctly, and can even be attached onto an enemy directly. Also can be attached to thrown kunai for accurate delivery or have a bunch wrapped into a ball for a more devastating payload. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Tatsuya is an honest and sociable sort, one who believes that the best way to get something is to earn it through the sweat of your brow and the strength of your will. He's very open in both mind and personality, accepting of pretty much everyone, and at times a bit too forgiving, which people have taken advantage of in the past and probably will continue to do so in the future. However, don't take that as him being slow witted or foolish, as his mind is as sharp as the blades he forges, and he has a keen intuition, honed by years of attending his family's shop, for picking out when people are lying to him or trying to pull the wool over his eyes. He tries his best to remain courteous with all kinds people, but he's no pushover, and if you don't back off nicely, he will make you back off, whether it be through words or actions. Tatsuya is also a bit of an artist, putting his experience in the forge into various metalworking projects and sculptures. While he's not terrible, it's obvious to see that e's still trying to find his niche with the art, as every piece is very different from one another, and he has yet to see one he particularly likes yet. He's also good at drawing, but that kind of a necessity when making designs for weapons, armors, and other such works, but he does sometimes take time out of his busy days to just relax and draw the world around him, mostly just random people on the street who catch his interest. While usually rather humble and modest, Tatsuya takes great pride in what he calls his true art form, forging weapons and armors of his own that have a cool style while still remaining practical in use. He treats every work like a piece of art, and has also taken to learning several weapon types, because he always feels that if he knows how to use the weapon himself, he can better forge it for his customers. His favorite type of weapon is the sword, but he's also learned how to effectively use other weapons, such as the staff, spear, and Naginata. 【History】 Tatsuya's father comes from a clan of reknowned blacksmiths that originated from Mizu no kuni. They were known as the Kajiya Clan, and it's said that it was members of their clan responsible for forging the blades of the Seven Ninja swordsman. However, sometime after the rise of the Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki, a faction of the clan separated from the main branch and left Mizu no kuni, for reason's that very few outside the clan know about. The faction soon splintered off from each other, settling in several different lands across the world, keeping the name of their clan where ever they go to show that they still pride themselves in their linage. His father, Katsuo, was born and raised in Konoha, living there for 17 years before he decided to travel to Kirigakure in order to find out more about his heritage. It was there were he met his wife-to-be, Katsumi Terumi. She was an eccentric inventor, and often considered to be the black sheep of her clan due to her . . . odd mannerisms. While the two didn't get along when they first met, their mutual love to create eventually formed into a relation ship, and after a 5 years, Katsuo returned home with Katsumi to Konoha with her father's blessing, where they were to be happily married 3 years later. Fast forward 10 years in the future to the birth of Tatsuya, their second child and first born son. Tatsuya's early years where tough at first, as he was a rather weak baby, but he pulled through, eventually growing healthy and strong without any complications. Tatsuya soon spent a great amount of time with both of his parents in their respective workshops, and while he tended to lean towards his dad's work then his mother's, he found both of them interesting. As soon as he was able, he would assist them in every endeavor they undertook, no matter how small a task they gave him to do. His family was a happy and connected one, for the most part. The only real conflict ever presented before him was his father's staunch resolve to deny him from becoming a shinobi. Katsuo had seen both his father and brother become shinobi, only to die meaningless deaths and only him and his mother around to mourn them, and he didn't want Tatsuya to become just another forgotten grave in the cemetery, killed before his time because he was nothing but a pawn for the Confederation to use at their leisure. Tatsuya, on the other hand, was adamant about it, wanting it more than anything else. Finally, Katsuo agreed to let the boy become a shinobi, but only if he could make a weapon that would impress him, and not a second before. The task was seemingly impossible for a then 10-year old Tatsuya, but he went at the challenge with a determination that blazed liked a wildfire. Using Kajiya sealsmithing techniques, as well as his own talent and skill with the tools available to him, he worked on numerous weapons, each a good viable weapon, but never reaching Katsuo's standards until one day, 4 years into the agreement, when he presented Ketsui to his father. The blade was spectacular, it's functions both practical and unique to it. It was a weapon deserving of the name Kajiya, and true to his word, Katsuo finally allowed Tatsuya to be a Shinobi, though he still doesn't like the idea. Katsuo Kajiya \| 51 \| Father, Reknowned blacksmith and owner of the Kajiya Weapon Store, where Quality is guaranteed, located somewhere in Minato City Katsumi Kajiya-Terumi\| 53 \| Mother, An intelligent weapon maker, she's fallen into depression after the destruction of her homeland, and though it has had some breaks, the sadness always returns in the end Manami Kajiya-Terumi \| 26 \| Sister, Works at the shop full time and is currently working as an apprentice under her father. 【Dreams and fears】 Tatsuya dreams of one day making a weapon that is on par with that of those of the Seven Ninja swordsman, as well as becoming a reknowned shinobi that would be an inspiration for others. Tatsuya somewhat fears his Kekkei Genkai, as he's afraid that he might accidentally hurt, and even kill someone one day due to him not being able to control it properly.

51,106	1,381	13	1,105	2,351	Katsuko Moto Vantage Strike The flare shot through the sky, explosions rocked the small village, and hordes of Red Sage rebels closed in. The plan was going perfectly so far. But it wasn't going perfect enough. As Lady Tametomo and her entourage of recruits marched through the city towards the government compound, a red blur flew past them from behind and careened ahead of the pack. One could discern it was an adult male from the body shape and build, and a big one at that. He wore no red armband but instead was concealed behind a red hoodie. His face was hidden behind a white oni mask, but one could see red hair just underneath the hood. But perhaps the strangest part about the mystery rebel's wardrobe was his lack of shoes, instead navigating with only his bare feet. As he passed by the Lady Commander, he turned his head to face her. He gave no words or gestures, he instead was making sure she was watching him. He was making sure his boss was paying attention to what he was about to do. "Don't take your eyes off me," he mumbled to himself as he landed on the steps leading up to the ornate government building. Immediately a Confederation soldier approached the masked Katsuko, bringing down a naginata with the intention to decapitate the invader. Instead the red hooded figure reached out and casually grabbed the weapon by the handle, yanking it away from the soldier and discarding it down the stairs lazily. Before the guard could adjust his strategy he was met by Katsuko's left fist, sending him flying to the side and crashing entirely through a nearby storefront. The unnatural strength was calling card. Katsuko Moto had entered the scene. Without delaying any further he dashed up the stairs, using his momentum to knock over any enemies that got in his way. Some even had the reflexes to dodge or put in a preemptive strike, but Katsuko was just as fast. Those who really tried to stop him were delivered a swift elbow or knee to reward them for their effort. The defeated enemies usually just rolled down the stairs towards the rest of the invading party, but sometimes they were sent flying from a solid, Chakra Enchanced Strength level blow. It seemed like child's play with how quickly and efficiently this man went through his opponents. He reached the top of the stone stairs, having cleared it of almost all opposition for everyone behind him. A smirk formed on his face, one that couldn't be seen but likely could be felt. When he looked forward again, however, there were two more female soldiers blocking his way. One seemed to be in her thirties and wielded an electrified sword. The other was a teenage girl with blue hair and a large metal arm, also brandishing a blade in Katsuko's direction. The younger girl opened her mouth to speak but Katsuko didn't even let her start. He dashed between the two, faster than either could react. His shoulders connected with the midsection of both girls, sending them backwards and out of the way. Even their swords clattered to the ground, both having dropped their weapons on impact with the beastly taijutsu master. In his headlong charge there was only one obstacle left: the door. But before Katsuko could handle that he ran into some kind of invisible force. Immediately upon contact it became briefly visible. It seems the Confederation wasn't completely inept today, they had their guards place a barrier around the main building. "Oh boy," Katsuko grumbled aloud. He looked over his shoulder at the stairs behind him, waiting briefly for Lady Tametomo and her entourage to arrive. Once they were in view he faced forward again. "Oi, Confederate assholes!" he shouted to the people inside. "Anyone that isn't on the ground when I come in is gonna die! Prepare yourselves!!" He then took a few steps back, digging into one of his pouches and extracting a small summoning scroll. He quickly opened it and channeled his chakra into its writing, creating a massive cloud of white smoke that quickly blew away in the breeze. In his hands now was a gigantic steel weapon, dwarfing Katsuko in size quite easily. He wielded it tightly with both hands, lowered it to be parallel with the ground, and then deliberately pulled his arms back. One could compare it to a batter in baseball preparing to swing. "The Red Sages are coming in!!" With a mighty swing the monstrous steel club collided with the chakra barrier. A powerful reverberation resounded from the impact and a massive backblast of wind erupted from the impact point. It was so strong, in fact, that those behind Katsuko and were not prepared were lifted off their feet and tossed down the stairs. Katsuko himself recoiled from the attack, his Saihyousen bouncing off the barrier with enough force to slam into the ground and smash the stone tiles into a shower of debris. His expression underneath his mask wasn't one of anger, but instead one of confusion. It's one of the tricky ones. After staggering for a moment the young man regained his balance and settled down, resting the gigantic weapon on his shoulder as he pondered on how to deal with this situation. He would look foolish if he tried to break it again, as clearly his monstrous strength wasn't the right tool for this job. "Find the tags!" Mirai Yumiya Mirai and Aneko had traveled to this festival of their own free will. Or at least it was at the suggestion of Aneko, as Mirai wasn't particularly enthusiastic about farming or the like. Apparently her servant had come from a long line of wheat farmers or something, so that explained her investment in the silly event. While the blue-haired teen found nothing interesting throughout the day she was still dragged along by Aneko. It made her wonder why she was going along, considering she was technically in-charge of Aneko and not the other way around. The day's festivities, however, came to a screeching halt with the red light in the sky. The first few explosions were all it took for the girls to realize the situation. "It's the Red Sages," Aneko stated, grabbing Mirai by her (right) wrist and dragging her along. It was a completely unnecessary action, as the younger girl would've followed without physical assistance, but Mirai didn't say anything about it. "What do we do? Are we going to the General?" "Yeah, that's our priority right now. They must've come for him." It was a brief trip to the main building of the government compound, where already a sizeable portion of shinobi had gathered. The two young women took their battle stations, at the back of the formation as per Mirai's usual. But within minutes the enemies had already managed to make their way into the compound. She could hear the screams and sounds of battle below, but only when she finally saw the red did she truly understand her situation. Mirai and Aneko were the last two guards outside the building, all the rest were inside. And the man with the demon mask and the red jacket appeared at the top of the stairs. The two girls drew their weapons, Aneko using her lightning ninjutsu to electrify her blade, and took defensive stances. There was an awkward silence for a moment as the man looked backwards towards his comrades, but the moment he looked forward Mirai decided to say something. "Sto-" She felt a sudden, heavy impact at her side, just below the ribs. The blow sent her flying sideways, causing her to land on her side and roll several times before coming to a stop laying face-down on the ground. So fast, she thought, before using her metal arm to pick herself up. Looking over to where she was she immediately saw that Aneko had suffered a similar fate and was sent the opposite direction. Their swords lay on the ground where they had been knocked away from. And now more rebels were appearing as the red man prepared some kind of attack to get into the building. This is bad. They just brushed us aside. We don't stand a chance out here! Mirai gulped back some fear, but didn't yet get to her feet. She was worried that it would draw attention back to her. She didn't want to die here. She didn't even want to be here in the first place. We can't do this on our own. We're gonna fail. We're gonna die...	j8cob's Characters of Moderate Interest and Adequate Writing “Anything for the greater good; there is no measure too extreme.” A man of average height and athletic build, Ryuunosuke would barely stand out in a crowd if it wasn't for his aura and his wardrobe. He wears a white military-style jacket so pristine and white it is impossible to not see, a black formal suit underneath for when his presence doesn't need to be flaunted, and of course he keeps his elegant sword sheathed at his hip. Top it off with white dress pants, polished black boots, sleek gloves, and noble blonde hair and one can't fail to recognize Ryuunosuke at a glance.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 A hero, a villain. A kind soul, a ruthless killer. A heart of gold, a fist of iron. There are many descriptions of Ryuunosuke's character that all depend on who you ask. To some he is a man of great respect, a legendary hero that has fought for his ideals and won. To others he is an opportunist and a fiend, an infamous villain that took power through bloodshed. The truth is these descriptions are all of the same man and they are all accurate. Though noble in presence he justifies all his actions as a means to an end. He truly believes he is saving the world and unifying all the people, and he isn't afraid to slaughter anyone that gets in his way of that vision. All who oppose him are an evil that must be destroyed. He is all that is good and just, so any enemy is naturally evil and irredeemable. The greater good, to Ryuunosuke, is something worth reaching even if he has to climb a mountain of bodies to achieve it. 【History】 The origin of the man named Ryuunosuke Hamajō is shrouded in mystery. There are no documents or eye-witness accounts, he seems to have simply appeared fifteen years ago as a mature and worldly teenager. There are rumors and stories of his early life but none have been confirmed by Ryuu. Even his closest friends and allies have only sparse details on his background. One of the popular propaganda pieces from the beginning of the Hamajō Confederation was the intentional spreading of a rumor that he was truly born from a dragon. This was intended more to bolster support than actually explain who he is, but it caught on as the prominent myth to serve as his "explanation." The earliest report of his existence came when a young, blonde teenager wearing homemade pelts as clothes while carrying a sword entered a clothing store in a rural town just south of the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning. When questioned about his clothes he said rather simply "my old ones were too small and I didn't have many options." When asked who he was, he simply replied "Ryuunosuke Hamajō." After performing several oddjobs to pay off the man for a modern wardrobe he left the city to continue on his journey. This was the first time his name was spoken and it was far from the last. Over the next four years he traveled across the world like a wandering swordsman. He was only a teenager at the time, many didn't take him seriously, and many more tried to take advantage of him. Despite the cruel world he lived in, he was a kind soul. A strong soul. He always spared his attackers, granting mercy on most who crossed him. It was through this kindness that he made his allies. In time he had gathered a group of six followers, each one a man or woman he had defeated and spared. These friends, too, had their own followers and connections. They were all powerful, strong shinobi from all over the world. People of respect and admiration, and they all respected and admired Ryuunosuke. He was a kind and merciful soul. He was a champion of peace. His name began to spread and his group was given the name of the Dragon's Den. While his fame grew and more and more people joined his cause, Ryuunosuke grew less kind. His merciful nature, after years of being tested, began wearing away when he was seventeen. The change was slow and gradual. Many didn't notice it, Ryuunosuke to this day hasn't noticed it, but somewhere along the line he stopped sparing his enemies. But it didn't matter by that point. He had a small army of loyal followers, positioned all over the world. Dragon's Den was becoming big enough for the Kages of the Hidden Villages to take notice. But by then it was already too late. All they needed to create a new world order was a spark. They had many thousands of supporters and the potential to gain hundreds of thousands. The idea of world peace and global harmony was enticing, after all. The message they preached was that only through unity could everyone come to a mutual understanding. Only by coming together could mankind be strong enough to carry on. The spark came when the leader of Amegakure publicly cast the seven prominent members of Dragon's Den out of the village. He claimed they were a cancer to the world, that they would only cause global warfare if they continued on their path. He demanded they leave his village and never step foot in it again. A fifteen year-old Ryuunosuke would've accepted the man's decision and demonstrated his kindness and understanding by leaving. But Ryuunosuke was nineteen now. He no longer spared his enemies. Amegakure was the first to be taken in. His army of supporters only grew, making Dragon's Den a very important and very powerful organization. This prompted a name change, at the behest of Ryuunosuke himself. If they were to lead the people fairly it could not be left up to one person. Instead there would be a council at the top, an oligarchy. These nations would become one big confederation, Ryuu proposed. And from that day forward began the rise of the Hamajō Confederation. The rest is history. In less than a year the Hamajō Confederation was able to secure all the Hidden Villages, forcing their respective countries into submission. Each nation in the Confederation was represented by one of the original six members of the organization, with Ryuunosuke serving as the President of the Council and accordingly the President of the Hamajō Confederation. Their victory was celebrated across the world by their armies and supporters, but their work was not yet complete. The world was not yet properly unified. Enemies to the peace still existed. He was so young then, practically ruling the world before he was even twenty. Times have changed, he has changed. What was once a kind boy has grown into a hardened man. Peace could not be maintained through kindness, he reasoned. It could only be kept through order, loyalty, and force. This was unanimously agreed by the entire Council. The groundwork for a prosperous future had been laid out, and to some extent it has succeeded over the past eleven years. Many people are happy and safe. But not everyone. The Red Sages, in particular, have been the biggest thorn in Ryuu's side. These violent and chaotic rebels. They failed to understand his vision, to understand what's best for them. Their mere existence was a sign: Ryuunosuke's utopia was far from complete. He hadn't achieved world peace yet. There was still more obstacles in his path. Even after unifying all the nations he still had enemies. And Ryuunosuke doesn't spare his enemies anymore. 【Family ties】 Nobody knows what his family life was like. When asked, Ryuu says that he loved his parents but they had passed away when he was only eight. He also says that he had no siblings. 【Dreams and fears】 The hopes and dreams of Lord Hamajō are no secret: his greatest wish is to unify the entire world in a peaceful, prosperous utopia. He has already made great strides towards accomplishing this and shows no signs of changing his mind. His fears, on the other hand, are less known. First and foremost would be the fear of the Confederation collapsing. But, after that, he is known to be paranoid of his own organization for traitors, constantly ordering investigations in an attempt to expose any and all assassination plots against him. A small fear he has that is only known by the select few he had begun the Hamajō Confederation with is his mild fear of crowds and public speaking. This is something he can keep under control, but he is always visibly uncomfortable when surrounded by many people. This also relates to his paranoia. 【Songs】 The Dragon's Name (Instrumental) The Hero's Path The Villain's Way The Conqueror's Blade (Instrumental) “Being the strongest man in the world isn't easy, but I wouldn't have it any other way.” Katsuko is not built lithe like most ninja, instead having a tall and muscular body. His extra bulk is always apparent regardless of garments. His signature red hair makes him easily identifiable, if his size wasn't already a good enough indicator. He often wears only the clothes depicted in the picture above, but he also wears white or black shirts with the Konoha emblem emblazoned on the chest as well as red jackets whenever he is not in combat. He only removes the jacket when he gets into a fight. Personnel files.

He doesn't withhold his opinion aside from rare circumstances and is surprisingly a capable listener to the opinions of others. He treats others with respect, though his confidence sometimes dips into cockiness when addressing those who challenge him. Many find him to be a reliable person, the kind of guy who will fulfill a promise if he makes one. He will talk tough, and everyone knows he is strong, but he is never quite intimidating. He is just light-hearted enough to make him fun to be around but still capable of being serious when it is required of him. 【History】 Born to a simple family in a simple home, Katsuko was raised to become a shinobi like his father, Jinkama. His mother and father took in his older cousin when she was nine and Katsuko was six, due to her parents' tragic deaths in the field as shinobi. Between him, his father, and his cousin, the Moto household had plenty of shinobi and training together. While Jinkama had always been a prodigious swordsman, Katsuko and his cousin Keiko turned out to be geniuses in their own respective fields of taijutsu and ninjutsu respectively. As Keiko and Katsuko became older teens the Hamajo Confederation took over. Katsuko was only a chuunin at the time but still tried his best to defend Konoha alongside his family and comrades. But the opposing army was too great and the order to surrender was given once Konoha's leaders had been slain. The Choko siblings that were in control had perished and the jounin commander disappeared without a trace, forcing the cooperation of the rest of Konoha's forces. After a while Katsuko grew accustomed to the new way of life. But his father never did. Jinkama was one of the first to join the Red Sages, secretly leading operations against the Confederation as a senior officer. It wasn't until Katsuko was already 22 years old and a fresh jounin himself that his father was finally found out. In an ambush attack he was struck a mortal blow, killing him later that night from his blood loss and damaged heart. In his dying hours he confessed his plans and ideals to Katsuko and his cousin, spurring them both into action. The Confederation came to their house the next day, retrieving Jinkama's body and subjecting the entire Moto family to a thorough investigation. They passed and were let go, but were put under watch for several months following the event. After his leash had been loosened, Katsuko joined the Red Sages and brought his cousin along too. Unlike their father they were young and unfit for leadership. This made it easier to stay under the radar, but it meant they were only grunts in the grand scheme of things. Over the past few years they have made their way up the ladder, earning respect from their peers for their strength and skill as shinobi. Lately Katsuko has become interested in taking a leadership role for the cause, much like his father did before him. Only this time he has made sure to cover all his bases and prioritize the secrecy of his plans, which his father clearly failed at. Only time will tell how this strong, determined young man will affect the outcome of the brewing civil war. 【Family ties】 Growing up in a tight-knit household, one would expect Katsuko to be very close with his family. But considering every member of his family is largely independent, they are actually quite distant despite their good standings. Whether it is out of stubbornness or laziness, one cannot tell. But the Moto family rarely gathers, but when they do they all appreciate and respect each other like any functioning family would. Jinkama Moto \| Father \| Died at 49, former jounin in Konoha's armed forces. Akira Moto \| Mother \| 50, Konohagakure, owns a grocery store and is generally respected by her community. Keiko Moto \| Cousin \| 29, Konohagakure, jounin and older cousin that Katsuko grew up with. 【Dreams and fears】 Katsuko has a few dreams including establishing himself as the strongest man in the world and seeing the Red Sage's cause through to the end, to create a world where everyone is free and capable of autonomy. When it comes to fears he may seem to be fearless, but Katsuko fears humiliation above all else. Even death does not muster fear in his heart like his name being brought to shame. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Katsuko is a taijutsu master, brutalizing his foes through sheer power and speed. While his ranged options are limited, he has little difficulty in closing any gaps of range to maximize his offensive prowess. His durability and sheer determination is nothing to shake a stick at either, allowing him to tank blows in order to easier land hits on his foes. While his strength is already something fearsome, he is known to exploit his opponent to tip the scales even further in his favor. He may not be the brightest bulb but he sure is the toughest, and he knows it. Expect a beating from hell if you dare cross Katsuko. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Chikaroatoshi Description: An ocular kekkei genkai, like the Sharingan or Byakugan. By using his eyes as a medium, Katsuko is able to access the chakra of his opponents through their eyes (tapping into the first two of the Eight Gates). This allows Katsuko to steal his foe's chakra simply through eye contact. The range does not matter, as it is eye contact at any range, but the duration of contact that determines the loss. An inept user may drain chakra slowly, but someone as versed as Katsuko can drain an enemy of their entire chakra pool in less than ten seconds of maintained eye contact. The chakra that is siphoned goes directly into Katsuko's system, powering him further and allowing him to demonstrate more strength and speed on top of gaining more stamina. A crafty and debilitating ability, but not the most stealthy. When using this ability, Katsuko's eyes turn from red to gold and have a faint glow. This can be considered a warning, as any and all eye contact made with him at that point will drain chakra, regardless of whether they are friend or foe. Strengths: The ability to drain chakra from an enemy at a distance, without prior contact, is a pretty good strength. It stacks further when one considers that Katsuko can effectively grow faster and stronger through the duration of a battle while his foes grow weaker and more tired at a much greater rate than they normally would. Weaknesses: An obvious way to avoid losing chakra is to avoid eye contact. If one makes eye contact and then breaks it off, the siphoning is broken off as well. Chakra may drain at an alarming rate, which experienced shinobi will feel and realize quickly that Katsuko is draining them, thus allowing them to avert their gaze before they reach the point of passing out. Avoiding eye contact altogether prevents any less of chakra. However, an actual weakness here, Katsuko can only absorb so much energy before he would overload. This amount is incredibly high, however, and would require many, many shinobi to accomplish. A more realistic alternative is to make him absorb "unsafe" chakra, such as Natural Chakra, which Katsuko's body would be unable to withstand in quantity. If he somehow overloads or absorbs a substantial amount of unsafe chakra, then his chakra system will be disabled and he would likely die. 【Ninja techniques】 S rank techniques: One Thousand Eyes Technique A rank techniques: Chakra Enhanced Strength Great Cataclysm B rank techniques: Earth Release: Earth Spear Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall C rank techniques: Earth Release: Hiding Like a Mole Technique D-E rank techniques: Academy Techniques Vantage Strike 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: One Thousand Eyes Technique Rank: S Range: Self ; Line of Sight (range irrelevant) Description: This is Katsuko's ace-in-the-hole, his ultimate technique if you will. It requires no handseals to activate but takes five seconds to properly manifest. Throughout the five seconds of warm-up many dozens of eye tattoos appear across his entire body. At the five second mark the black tattoos all turn golden and activate. These become conduits for Katsuko's eyes. Being that Katsuko is now looking through many angles around him all at once, it leaves him with no visual blind spots. However the true power of this technique doesn't lie in visual acuity but instead by serving as a medium for his Kekkei Genkai. While normally a foe may be able to fight to some degree by avoiding eye contact with Katsuko, this technique makes that almost impossible. Looking at him at all will result in losing chakra, fast. Even more so: this allows him to steal chakra from many people all at once. Naturally this means his strength, speed, and chakra pool increase at a staggering magnitude of order. Whether he is fighting one man or an entire army it does not matter. The downside to this technique lies in its strength: by absorbing chakra at a much higher rate he gets closer to overloading on "unsafe" chakra at a much higher rate as well. A seemingly simple but devastatingly powerful technique in all, generally reserved for situation when Katsuko is heavily outnumbered but can be used if faced against a sly opponent that refuses to lose their chakra. It is worth noting that this will also steal chakra from allies, as Katsuko's eyes cannot pick-and-choose who they steal from. ANYONE who looks at him will lose their power. Jutsu name: Great Cataclysm Rank: A Range: Short Description: An attack that utilizes Katsuko's Saihyousen weapon. By using it's incredible weight and Katsuko's incredible strength, an earth-shattering slam attack is performed after leaping into the air. While the attack is clearly telegraphed and easy to read, it is regarded as A rank due to the sheer damage output. A direct hit is fatal, and even a miss can deal severe damage due to the shockwaves and shattering earth. The impact is like a small earthquake and can disrupt the balance and focus of both friend and foe alike. An imposing attack that is mostly for striking fear into his enemies through demonstration of force rather than getting the direct hit, though it isn't very slow so direct hits can happen with grotesque result. Jutsu name: Vantage Strike Rank: D Range: Short Description: An opening punch from a stealthy approach. This is often Katsuko's entry into a battle. Using the element of surprise a heavy punch is delivered to the solar plexus (from the front) or the spine (from the back) depending on angle. Can easily defeat a foe by itself, only the hardiest of people will can take the hit. Dodging it is the best way to go for sure. Like seriously, dodge this fucking punch or it's over before it begins. Don't test Katsuko, you don't want to even try to block this shit. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Saihyousen Weapon, tool or object type: Massive Clubbing-type Weapon Description: An incredibly heavy weapon that very few can wield. A three meter long steel rod with half its length fitted with two solid steel spheres. This makes the handle a meter-and-a-half and the striking area the same length. This massive weapon weighs a literal ton, meaning that for the few like Katsuko who can swing it it will provide terrifying power behind every blow. Not only does its sheer size and imposing figure strike fear into his foes but just one swing is often all it will take to make an opposing force surrender. Nobody wants to die from being crushed and having all their bones broken simultaneously. Katsuko keeps this weapon sealed in a small scroll he keeps on his belt, as carrying it around would be awkward and uncomfortable. He can wield it without Chakra Enhanced Strength or using his Kekkei Genkai, but without either his attacks become slow and easy to dodge. With his "buffs" active he can wield this behemoth like a samurai would wield a katana. “I just have to keep trying, I guess...” First and foremost, Mirai's most striking feature is not her blue hair, the scar on her nose, her red eye, or even her blind left eye. It is her left arm, or rather the lack thereof. When out of the house she has a metal prosthetic arm in its place to allow her to keep functioning as a shinobi. While her stature is generally slim, not having any more muscle than she needs to lift her own weight and move around at an acceptable speed, her prosthetic arm is a bit bulkier than her real one. As for clothes she generally wears the garments depicted in the picture above but is known to wear dresses on fancy occasions or wear heavier clothes on chilly days. Due to wearing heels many think she is of average height but she is actually on the short side, standing at a mere 158cm tall. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Pragmatic, cynical, and doubtful. Mirai has a bad habit where she doesn't have much self-respect or self-confidence. She is quick to rely on others, both in and out of combat. While she is weak-willed that isn't to say she has no will at all. In fact she can be very stubborn and determined when pushed hard enough to rely on herself. This can come across as almost hypocritical, as her passive and depressing personality would make one think she would be unable to actually try to do anything. To that same effect, once Mirai has actually bolstered her will she casts away pride, honor, and any other emotion that would impair her actions. There is no such thing as a "low blow" to her. If she has to fight, she will go to whatever length it takes to survive or kill her opponent, depending on the situation. She isn't prone to rage, but many think that she enters an enraged state due to her ferocity even though her actual emotion would be more akin to panic or fear. 【History】 Born to the wealthy Yumiya family, Mirai was raised just as one would expect from her class. Most of the parenting she received was from household servants, particularly her personal servant Aneka, while her real parents were too busy. Busy with what? Her father, Makoto, has been a part of the Hamajo Confederation since its early days. Nobody knows what he does, exactly, but he had supplied his fortune when it was first starting up. He doesn't seem to do much anymore yet still holds prestige and position among the government for his support. Now Mirai's mother, on the other hand, had even less of an excuse. She had no job. She instead dedicated her life to knowledge, reading as many books as she could even at the cost of family time. So that was her early childhood. She received in-home education, private tutoring from Aneka, for several years. But, as she began to mature, she realized that she didn't enjoy her life. It was boring, dull, had no meaning. Her family wasn't loving, she had no friends, and had no talents. When Mirai was eight years old she decided she would go to Konohagakure to learn how to become a shinobi at their academy. Naturally her parents were against the idea initially, but it was evident they had some kind of love or bond with their child for they eventually relented and granted her wish. Since there was no family in Konoha nor could her parents spare the time to go with her, Mirai was attended by Aneka for the "duration of her stay in Konohagakure." And so the two traveled. Mirai began attending the Ninja Academy and so did Aneka, despite the fact the servant was already a full-grown woman. Aneka Toyama figured she would need to learn the shinobi arts if she wanted to properly care for and protect Mirai. The young girl became a genin at the age of 12, but it was apparent that she was not particularly... skilled. She was among the bottom ranks of her class and despite growing over the years never really improved at the same rate her classmates did. At first it frustrated her, but after a while it became something she felt accustomed to. She was given low-expectations, little respect, and barely any time of the day. Ironically it was nothing new to her. Mirai couldn't make any progress as a genin until she was sixteen. A mission went horribly wrong. The squad she was in was supposed to eradicate a bandit camp. But somehow, some way, the two chuunin and one genin were not prepared enough for the battle. Once her squadmates had been defeated and captured, Mirai attempted to flee but to no avail. She simply wasn't fast enough to escape or strong enough to break free. The resulting beating she received ended up putting a scar across the bridge of her nose and leaving her blind in one eye. The bandits later tortured the teenagers, trying to extract information out of them. Mirai attempted to escape during her interrogation, prompting an angry and violent response from her captors and resulting in the loss of her left arm. That night the squad was rescued by a (better) team of shinobi. After the bandits had all been killed or captured, Mirai was given medical treatment but they could not find her severed arm to attempt to reattach it. She was later told that it was the Red Sages who had done this damage to her, and that it was likely her career as a shinobi was over. Her hampered vision and physical capability made the Confederation put her on indefinite standby, a polite way to say early retirement. While Mirai seemed accepting of her fate, her servant Aneko (who has been a chuunin for a while by now) knew that she was heartbroken. Rather than let her resign to her fate, Aneko contacted her parents back in Amegakure to update them on her situation and get their help. And as such Makoto ordered the construction of a prosthetic arm that wouldn't just fully replace Mirai's original but exceed it's capability in terms of utility. If she was going to be a kunoichi then she was going to be a good one, and a good kunoichi needs good armaments. And arms. Mirai was shocked when she finally received the prosthetic, amazed at how well it worked and how useful it was. With a new motivation to get back into the game, Mirai began trying her best to work her way up the ranks. After receiving a new arm and undergoing intensive training with Aneko she finally made it to chuunin rank at seventeen, granted it was by the skin of her teeth. Nevertheless she was proud of her accomplishment, despite her monotone demeanor and the disapproving looks of her comrades. Her next goal is to become jounin, though considering the slow climb so far she isn't deluding herself over the difficulty and time it will take. 【Family ties】 Mirai's family was never particularly close or intimate. Father was always busy, mother was always locked away by herself with her books, and Mirai was always left to her own devices. Most of her care was seen through family servants rather than her parents. While Mirai can't say she "loves" her family, she does hold a natural soft spot in her heart for them. The only time they really spent together was dinnertime and holidays. Otherwise they were all alone, despite living in the same house. Makoto Yumiya \| Father \| 42, Amegakure, his exact job is unclear but he seems to be a part of some kind of committee established by the Confederation. Chiyuri Yumiya \| Mother \| 36, Amegakure, housewife who owns a whole library full of books that is always growing. Aneka Toyama \| Personal Servant \| 29, Amegakure, Mirai's personal maid that has taken care of her since she was a toddler. No blood relation. 【Dreams and fears】 In her depressing state, Mirai doesn't have many dreams. But, despite what she may say or feel, deep down inside she wants to become someone worthy of respect. Someone for others to look up to, like a role model or a hero. While she has a lack of dreams, she has no lack of fears. Ranging from the mundane such as bugs and dark places to the more serious fears such as having no friends, having no family, and even dying. Death is what she fears above all else. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Mirai doesn't have impressive taijutsu, ninjutsu, or genjutsu skills. To combat her general lack of natural talent she has come to rely on weapons and tactics. She is proficient with many kinds of weapons and tools, using her skills and her arsenal to her advantage to combat her physically superior opponents. She prefers to keep range and use surprise attacks, making her a bag of tricks that could be potentially fatal to the unwary or overconfident. Mirai may come across as underwhelming but perhaps that truly is her greatest asset. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: N/A B rank techniques: Self Destruct C rank techniques: Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder Lightning Release: Lightning Rod Poison Spike D-E rank techniques: Hidden Needle Cannon Academy Techniques 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Poison Spike Rank: C Range: Short Description: A hidden spike lathered in a neurotoxin is propelled from the palm of her mechanical arm, reaching a full length of four inches. It pops out at high speed so as to punch through thin armor or cloth as well as breaking the opponents skin. Very useful as a surprise attack when the enemy is close. The spike will be retracted after half a second, concealing it and allowing full use of her hand again. The toxin itself can be lethal in large doses (i.e. stabbed multiple times) but most victims will survive even without medical assistance. The toxin numbs the target over time, eventually reaching the point where they have incredible difficulty controlling their body. In higher doses it even affects their thought processes as their brain is numbed as well. A single stab can't defeat an enemy unless they are small and have a fast metabolism, but two or three stabs will be enough to bring down an average-sized adult over the course of five to ten minutes. Four doses or more is when it starts to become dangerous, becoming lethal to the average-sized adult at six (that is: without proper medical attention). Jutsu name: Hidden Needle Cannon Rank: D Range: Short-Medium Description: As compared to the hidden spike coming from the mechanical arm's palm, these needles fire from the outside of the forearm in a wide volley. A total of twenty senbon are shot out all at once, much like an open choke shotgun blast. Naturally the lack of accuracy hinders the effective range, but the senbon can travel over 100m from the propulsion. However, actually hitting a target at that range isn't feasible. Rather it is perfect for a painful surprise on an advancing enemy within 10m. The wide spray practically guarantees damage and the unexpected angle of attack adds versatility. Once the senbon are fired this attack cannot be used until Mirai reloads her arm, which is better done outside of battle due to the tedious nature. Jutsu name: Self Destruct Rank: B Range: Medium - 20m radius Description: If desperate times call for desperate measures, Mirai can use her prosthetic arm as a bomb. As it is loaded with explosives, all it takes for her to activate the countdown is her own will and some chakra. Once triggered it has a three second countdown before detonation. This gives Mirai just enough time to detach the arm and reach a distance she where she will survive the shockwave and avoid the explosion itself. Once the timer is started it cannot be cancelled, but thankfully it can only be started by Mirai thanks to her chakra connection with the arm. An obvious downside is that Mirai loses her better arm from using this technique, and it took a good while for it to be built the first time. Getting another could take up to two weeks, leaving her weak and unfit for duty for that duration. Debatably the bigger weakness would be the possibility of her not getting out of the blast zone in time, as the fuse is short and the range is wide. Thankfully she's had some practice and could probably make it. Probably. Same goes for any opponents who realize what is going on. They, too, have the same three seconds to make a break for it. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Left Arm Weapon, tool or object type: An advanced, mechanical prosthetic arm that Mirai uses during her waking hours. Description: Made of steel and powered by chakra, this arm is far superior to the one Mirai had lost. Not only is it incredibly durable and stable, but it also has multiple hidden weapons integrated into the forearm for surprise attacks. It houses a mechanism that fires a brief volley of senbon, contains a hidden poison-tipped spike, and even multiple exploding tags that will detonate if the arm is severed from Mirai (again). It also boasts significantly higher strength as compared to her right arm, as the entire left arm up to the shoulder is prosthetic. Notably it also weighs a respectable amount, adding onto Mirai's total weight on a scale to make her seem much bulkier than she actually is. Despite this weight it moves at an identical speed to her right arm, though because it is made of metal it packs much greater force behind every movement. Weapon, tool, or object name: Kunai Weapon, tool, or object type: Kunai Description: They're fucking kunai. Weapon, tool, or object name: Shuriken Weapon, tool, or object type: Shuriken Description: They're not fucking kunai. Weapon, tool, or object name: Smoke Bombs Weapon, tool, or object type: Smoke Bombs Description: Small bombs that explode into smoke, useful for many things. Direct hits don't really hurt anyone though, unfortunately. Can be attached to kunai for greater distance on throws. Weapon, tool, or object name: Ninjato Weapon, tool, or object type: Ninjato Description: A short sword with a straight blade, positioned horizontally across the back of Mirai's waist. Useful for, surprise, cutting things. This is Mirai's primary method of self-defense should an opponent get too close for her comfort. Weapon, tool, or object name: Explosive Tags Weapon, tool, or object type: Explosive Tags Description: Chakra-infused tags that detonate a few seconds after activation. Useful for blowing things up. Can be attached to kunai for a flashy surprise.
51,107	1,381	14	1,428	199	Masato Saruwatari Konoha Ame-Suna Border, At the Harvest Festival Masato’s eyes drifted along the various stalls and people that milled around them, taking in the information without thought. Today was one of his few days off which would normally mean he would be busy training with his Constructs, however his parents had insisted he experience the Harvest Festival at least once in his life and they had decided that him having the day off was an indicator that now was the best time to do so. Despite the nature of the festival and the various activities, Masato was in fact having a good time. It was an event that was unlike any he had attended before and it allowed him to learn new things, something that he loved doing regardless of the usefulness of the information in relation to him. Overall he would consider the day a success and was grateful for a reprieve from missions and even training, though he did love doing the second he appreciated a break every now and then. The fact that it had also been relatively relaxing was simply a bonus. This serenity though was broken as a flare was launched into the air and all hell began to break loose as explosions emanated from various locations within the festival. Naturally this lead to hysteria breaking out among the civilians which only escalated with the appearance of shinobi wearing red bands around their left arms, showing their allegiance to the rebel group known as the Red Sages. Fortunately the attention of the opposing shinobi wasn’t directed towards him at the moment as they were focused on a kunoichi with red locks of impressive length. With the two on one fight commencing, Masato turned his attention towards the building that a current meeting of political figures was underway. For just a moment the thought of rushing to the aid of those within the compound crossed his mind it was quickly extinguished as he turned his gaze back to the kunoichi, who looked vaguely familiar, and the two opponents that she had subdued. With the immediate threat clearly dealt with Masato began to work towards securing the safety of the civilians still in the area. In a quick and fluid motion he bit into his thumb to draw blood before slamming his hand to the ground. ”Shieldbearers, step forward!” White smoke exploded around Masato briefly before vanishing, revealing six heavily armored constructs wielding massive shields surrounding him. Standing back up, Masato turned his attention to the civilians that were either too frightened to move or too curious. ”Everyone I need you to come this way and enter the formation created by my Shieldbearers.” As he spoke he removed himself from the group of constructs, making more room for the civilians who slowly made their way to the designated location. ”Shieldbearers close ranks and have shields at the ready.” At his words all six constructs moved in unison, forming together to create a solid circle of metal around the civilians before raising their shields. With the civilians taken care of temporarily, Masato turned his attention to the kunoichi once again as he made his way over to her. While he moved forward he flicked his right hand in the same direction, causing the constructs to move forward at a slow pace. Once he was before the woman he lifted his hand straight up, and held his palm open signalling for the Shieldbearers to halt. ”Would you be willing to assist me in bringing these people to safety? While I can provide protection I am not much use in dispatching opposition at the moment and would appreciate your assistance. If you are willing please feel free to join us.” Knowing that time was of the essence he was unable to wait for her response. Instead he swung his arm back down while continuing past her, his Shieldbearers beginning to move again with the movement of his arm.	Lost's Retinue of Surprisingly Not Stereotypical Shinobi. “There is nothing more satisfying than seeing your strategy succeed.” Masato is an average looking individual, he isn't one of those that could easily be picked out a crowd. He stands right around 5'9 and weighs 140 lbs. His choice of clothing also isn't unique, aside from the Chuunin vest that he wears at all times he is dressed in plain t-shirts that vary in color from white to slightly darker white and dark gray jeans. In colder weather he will wear the jacket that is seen above. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Masato is best described as a cool and distant individual, however this attitude is not a method of preventing bonds or anything related it was simply how he was raised. He is fully capable of affection his method of showing it is just dialed down more so than most. In his own way he is very passionate even if it doesn't translate well to the outside world. When talking about his family, chess, etc there is a distinct gleam in his eyes if one would look close enough. In line with his base personality Masato approaches negative scenarios with a level head, analyzing every thing that makes up the event before he decides what his reaction will be. While at first this makes him seem insincere, and even colder, this is not the case. He simply knows that emotions can cause one to overreact and does his best to avoid doing so. 【History】 To say that Masato had a childhood would be a vast exaggeration of the early years in his life. Before he was able to read his parents would spend the entire day reading to him, but they never read from children's books. Instead he listened to them read page after page of books written by strategist from long ago. His family had always been known for their intelligence, and his parents were determined to follow that legacy. As soon as he could read on his own his days were consumed by it, though the topics ended up becoming more varied ranging from mathematics to poetry. Once he entered school Masato excelled for quite some time, partially due to his parents tutoring him at home during this time. However when he reached the age of 10 and was given the chance to graduated it was pulled away from him. While initially the school thought it would be fine to push him forward they soon discovered that his taijutsu was not up to the task and he ended up having to go through another year of school before progressing. This set back discouraged him for a time, but this vanished shortly once his parents began to teach him their Hiden jutsu moveset. His last year at this level of schooling went by quickly as much of his time outside of it was spent learning his family's signature jutsu. While he had been at the top of his class during his younger years he fell behind a bit when he advanced to the next level, though that had nothing to do with the material being too dificult. More and more of his time was being devoted to his extracurricular studies and he simply didn't have time to do all of the work assigned to him. This naturally lead him to falling out of his position at the top but he did not care in the slightest, nor did his parents since he was progressing through their training at a rapid pace. He ended up graduating at the age of 15 and was promoted to the rank of Chunnin as expected. Since then he has divided his time between taking on missions and furthering his control and skill with his jutsu, with much more attention being given to the latter. 【Family ties】 He is the only child in his household and he has a very close bond with both his mother and father. The Saruwatari family are very close and rather reclusive, though this is mainly due to the fact that they enjoy activities that are typically carried out in seclusion and not out of a dislike for the company of others. Hatta Saruwatari \| Father \| 45, Resides on the Family's property on the outskirts of Konoha, Retired Shinobi Diao Saruwatari \| Mother \| 39, Same as above, Active Jounin 【Dreams and fears】 Masato wants nothing more than to contribute to his family's legacy and prove that he is worthy of doing so. Naturally his greatest fear is falling short of this and fading into obscurity or worse damning the Saruwatari name to the point that it is meaningless. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Outside of his signature jutsu moveset, Masato is inept at almost every aspect of fighting. When his opponent manages to close the distance and engage in close quarter combat he is forced to rely on dodging until he can intercept his opponent with one of his constructs. 【Hiden】 Hiden: Construct Army Description: Construct Army is a Jutsu that was created by the Saruwatari family many years ago. The user is able to summon a number of different constructs, the exact types differ not only between people but it also depends on what avenues of the jutsu the particular individual pursues. These constructs are in essence non-sentient summons that obey the user completely, though this obedience varies on a couple of factors that will be described later in each individual summon's section. While most of the construct types are discovered through careful study of one of the numerous scrolls that have been passed down every once in a great while a new one will be discovered, after which it is then recorded in either a scroll that has not been filled or in a new one. The constructs are controlled by either vocal commands, movement based commands, or a combination of the two. Strengths: While each type of construct has it's own strengths the universal strength of this Hiden is it's versitility. The individual strengths of each type will be described in their section. Weaknesses: Much like the strengths each type of construct has it's own weaknesses which shall be detailed in their area. However they also all carry a universal weakness and that is that they are completely useless if their user is unable to command them. This can be caused by either preventing them from speaking or moving. In addition the usefullness of the constructs can be hampered if the user's vision is effected, either by targeting the eyes directly or using the environment.. Note about the amounts of Constructs At his current skill level Masato is able to have complete control over a total of 6 C rank constructs, any more than that will lead to a degridation in his control with one exception which will be made obvious shortly. I will now list the total amounts of constructs he can have, including variations. These numbers indicate the max he can have while still retaining complete control over them. 6 C Rank 2 B Rank or 1 B Rank and 3 C Rank 1 A Rank Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Footsoldier Construct Rank: C Rank Range: Close range, must be within blade range. Description: The Footsoldier is one of the four basic constructs that Masato has, and of them it is both the weakest and strongest. This is due to the fact that it is average in all areas, while the other three each of a specialization. The Footsoldier is equipped with a simple katana and basic armor. It has decent defence against blunt force attacks while it is weak to piercing strikes. Jutsu name: Shieldbearer Construct Rank: C Rank Range: N/A Description: As the name implies the Shieldbearer Construct is a defense construct that's primary goal is to defend Masato. They come equipped with a large shield and heavy armor. This naturally upsets their movement speed making them the slowest of the base constructs. They have very high defense against blunt force attacks and reasonable defense against piercing ones, however either can destroy them if they land on an unarmored/low armored area though the piercing is more likely to do so. These areas are the same you would find in most armors, the joints, the neck, and the eyes. Given their defensive specialization they have no method of dealing damage. Jutsu name: Bombarder Construct Rank: C Rank Range: Close in the sense that they must be aligned with their target, but they can be very high above them. Description: The Bombarder Construct is the only one of the four basic ones that does not stand on the ground, it is also the only one that is not humanoid. Instead it is shaped like a small bird. Of the basic constructs it is the fastest but it also has the weakest defense needing to take only one hit in order to be destroyed. The Bombardier's purpose is to fly over the enemy and drop an explosive that has the blast range and power equal to that of a regular explosive tag. They can only drop one at a time and afterwards they have to go on a 'cooldown' in order to create another one. Jutsu name: Archer Construct. Rank: C Rank Range: Most effective at Medium range but can strike from Long distance with a decrease in accuracy. Description: The Archer Construct is the final of the basic 4 and it focuses on distance attacks with the use of a bow. It is the second weakest in terms of defense, though the difference between it and the Bombardier is very small. Unless the strike hit's one on the arm or leg it only takes one hit to destroy it. Each construct has a quiver filled with 25 arrows. They do not carry any melee weapons as they are designed to stay outside of the range of their target. Jutsu name: Drill Sergeant. Rank: C Rank Range: N/A. Description: The Drill Sergeant allows Masato to have an additional 2 C Rank constructs on the field without a loss of control. This means that if he wished he could use 6 Drill Sergeants in order to double the amount of C rank constructs he can use. However if the Drill Sergeant is destroyed he will lose that increased control immediately and will have to get rid of the extra constructs or risk disobedience. In addition he can only use the initial 6 Drill Sergeants at most, he can not use them to control additional Drill Sergeants. The construct itself is between the Footsoldier and the Shieldbearer in terms of defense, it wears no armor but is highly durable. It would take two blows that would be fatal to a human to destroy it, or 4 in non lethal locations. Of course this can be decreased to one if it loses it's head. Jutsu name: Assassin Rank: B Rank Range: This model requires extreme close range to be at it's most effective. Description: The Assassin is the fastest of all of his current constructs, while also by far the stealthiest capable of masking its presence from lesser skilled Chunnin down. It has very weak defenses, equal to that of the Bombarder, but it is highly skilled in close quarter combat. It's agility allows it to dodge and parry for quite sometime while it attempts to make an opening to land a killing blow. It is equipped with a tanto and dark clothing. Jutsu name: The General Rank: A Rank Range: Close range. Description: As its rank would indicate The General is the strongest of Masato's current constructs. While most of the other constructs stand right around Masato's height, with the exception of the Bombarder, The General stands at 6'3. He is equipped with a stronger katana than the footsoldier and armor that is equal to that of the Shieldbearer. His movement speed is still hindered but not to the degree of the Shieldbearer. With his armor and durability it takes seven solid hits to destroy him, but like most of the others this can be circumvented. In the Case of The General if he is his directly in the eye he will either be disabled or completely destroyed.
51,108	1,381	15	985	319	Nori Hisakawa Nori went from defending his teammate to defending himself in an instant. "Two more? And what is that silver liquid?" he thought to himself, leaping away from the silver balls launched at him, into the cloud of steam. He couldn't see easily, but it wasn't nearly as much of a problem for him as it would be for them. He could take advantage of this. He'd seen his ally use a Water jutsu already, so he was hoping they would be able to make this work against this Confederate assault. "Water Release: Water Clone..." he mumbled to himself, making the handsigns and leaving a clone of himself behind the steam, moving itself to meet the sword-wielder's rush. He opted to avoid the strange silver technique for now, until he knew more about it. "Redhead, we've got two more threats over here, and a possible kekkei genkai! Don't waste time on the clones, and we'll fight the threats while we can, but it's important to relay this to the Lady Commander! I'm giving us a fight-or-flight advantage now! Hiding in Mist Technique! With that, the steam cloud expanded into a haze around the near area, shrouding the sights of all... except the Byakugan, the one thing he had missed in the chaos.	“Sacrifice yourself to do one good thing, or live on to do many? Think about it.” Standing at about 5'11" and weighing in at 150~lb, Nori is tall, lean shinobi, with an air of thoughtful relaxation about him. His bluish-black hair is trimmed slightly shorter than in the picture above, keeping the bangs out of his eyes, and the length in the back about halfway down the neck. His skin is rather pale, with sharp grey eyes, and slightly pointed teeth reminiscent of the Seven Ninja Swordsman of the Mist. Attire-wise; in battle, he forgoes a flak jacket, instead settling for a chain mesh under a loose, sleeveless blue shirt, black shin-length pants, standard issue black sandals, arm-guards, and his dark blue scarf tucked into the back of his shirt; a worn Kirigakure plate is attached to the end of this. Out of battle, his attire is much more modern; while he still sticks to wearing blue out of habit, he often dresses in semi-casual suit jackets, button-up shirts, slacks, and sneakers, varying to weather and situation as necessary. The only consistency is the dark-blue scarf, kept with him regardless of occasion. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Nori is an analytical type. Even in casual conversations, he will take long periods of time to listen thoroughly to what the other(s) have to say before replying, replying only when he has found something worthwhile to say in response. He's often relaxing to be around because of this trait; you'll almost never be interrupted or ignored, and especially those needing to blow off some steam will drift to him. The responses are where that line becomes less clear-cut. His honesty in his responses, and the depth he might go to analyze a statement, can lead to starting an argument that never needed to happen, or worsening an existing one. Not everyone likes hearing the truth. He doesn't seem to regret these situations, since the problem wasn't his fault in the first place. Some people think he's arrogant because of this aloofness, and they wouldn't be wrong. He'll become frustrated if people challenge his analysis, and even moreso if he happens to have made a mistake in his interpretation of the situation in the first place. Being such a good listener though, sometimes he has trouble starting conversations, or holding them. He doesn't really have the social drive to keep up small talk for very long, and he also dislikes having to talk about himself. It takes work for him to honestly feel like opening up to anyone, and he grows extremely uncomfortable talking about himself or his past. Which leads to a conflict of interests; if he can talk to you about your problems, why can't he talk to you about his own? 【History】 Nori is the only son of his parents, a non-shinobi father and a hunter-nin mother, in the unsteady Kirigakure village. With the years preceding the era of peace from the Hamajō Confederation, his mother was hardly ever home for the boy, constantly performing missions, be they for the village, or against its defectors. No questions asked has always been the terms of the Hidden Mist though, and so he simply smiled and nodded when his father constantly praised her mother as a hero, regardless of how dirty her job was. Even when she did return though, she never doted on him, unlike how he saw other mothers do with their children. She simply enjoyed the brief tranquility that would come between her missions as much as possible, and Nori accepted the exhaustion that came with his mother, the "hero." As he grew into his Academy years, he himself trained diligently in the Academy, to become a "great hero" like his scarcely seen mother, and succeeded; he was quiet, talented, and most importantly, obedient. What he also learned however, is how to be an outcast; children in times of war are never settled, and they found every reason to question why his father wasn't a shinobi, and tease that maybe his mother wouldn't come back this time. He simply let them speak and continued his training; his father did everything he could as a parent, and his mother was a hero. He didn't have the nerve to question them early on, and didn't care once he understood later. Even after learning of just what the job of hunter-nin entailed, well, it was just another grisly duty, and he would be more than willing to follow his mother's footsteps in that role. And then, during his graduating year at the Academy, the war hit a terrifying peak for Kirigakure--the destruction of the village. People scattered. Most died. Nori and his family were of the lucky ones; they managed to get out before the devastation, finding themselves heading north across the water to the Land of Lightning, and the new Kumo Province. For a long time, neither of them knew where his mother was. His father took up the task of farming, struggling to get by in the lackluster area. Nori didn't know what to do. He had been following in his mother's footsteps, but how could he join a military that let their home be destroyed and separated him from his "hero?" His decision would be solidified several years later, after the Hamajō Confederation had settled in. After the destruction of Kirigakure, his mother had been lost. She didn't know what had happened to her family. She thought them likely dead, herself being another lucky one, sent over to the Land of Fire on her most recent task. The loss of home, the loss of family...she ended up with some of the scattered armies, and eventually decided that she would fight against the power that couldn't protect her anymore; she joined the would-be Red Sages, and eventually got herself killed for it. Family connections were made. The Confederation came to his father's farm, looking for intel on the Red Sages. Neither of them knew anything about what had happened after Kirigakure, and after some extremely stern interrogation, decided that refugees fled to Kumo wouldn't know what happened to a traitor last seen near Konoha. "Traitor." That was the term that had solidified his decision. There had to be a reason; she had been a hunter-nin. Her duty: to track down rogue shinobi, the traitors. She had to know the consequences of becoming the hunted, so the reason for her supposed defection had to have some meaning behind it. He thought it over, and decided to continue her fight. His father never questioned it; he was a grown man now, and his decision was his own. He would join the Red Sages, and fight the real traitors. 【Family ties】 Nori grew up in a single-father middle-class household, with his mother visiting only once every several months during her time of service after she got herself off of maternity leave. He has no siblings. After the destruction of Kirigakure, he lived in near-poverty with his single father, and never saw his mother again. Naozumi Hisakawa \| Father \| 50, Kumogakure, farmer.

His fears are for his father being punished for having two criminals in the family, despite his innocence. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Nori focuses around genjutsu-based combat, looking to manipulate his opponents into a corner with various Water-style ninjutsu and weaponry--most notably being a naginata--before locking them down with genjutsu and going in to finish the job. 【N/A】 Bloodline limit name: N/A Description: User possesses no known kekkei genkai. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: B rank techniques: Water Release: Water Formation Wall C rank techniques: Water Prison Technique Water Clone Technique Water Release: Water Bullet Technique Water Release: Water Bowl D-E rank techniques: Body Replacement Technique Unsealing Technique Hiding in Mist Technique 【Custom made techniques】 Aquatic Bone Suffering Rank: B Range: Dependent Description: This jutsu causes all water created from a previous Water Release ninjutsu to have an extreme numbing effect to any skin in contact with it, extremely hindering the sense of touch, and in turn, making it more difficult to control the dampened areas. While the effect is immediate and intense though, it's reliant on how wet the opponent is; if they've been successfully dodging techniques, or happen to be in heavy armor, they likely won't be affected significantly. Likewise, managing to sufficiently dry themselves will remove the effect, and as with all genjutsu, if they are aware it's the illusion of loss of sensation, then they can mentally force themselves to overcome it if possible. The strength of the technique is its subtlety and range, the weakness being its ease of avoidance. Jutsu name: Water Release: Seashell Current Discord Rank: B Range: Mid to long-range Description: An audio genjutsu, in which the user releases a quick jet of water from their mouth onto anything nearby. Those hearing any noise the jet of water creates, such as its impact, will begin hearing only the noise they heard the genjutsu create, be it a splash on another body of water, against a tree, etc., essentially cutting off their ability to hear. In combination with the Hiding in Mist Technique, it can be crippling to have one of your other means of locating your opponent crippled. The strength of the genjutsu lies in it's simplicity of execution and subtlety. The weaknesses lie in the lack of physical hindrance; the opponent is not incapacitated in any other way, and it can be avoided by not hearing the initial noise, and the technique can be overcome with sufficient time/chakra control. Jutsu name: Kingdom of the Eastern Seas Rank: A Range: Short Description: The user clasps their hand at an opponent's throat or forehead while casting the genjutsu, after which, the victim will be under the illusion of being dragged to the bottom of the ocean floor; painful, crushing water pressure, asphyxiation, no light, and no sound. These effects persist until the caster of the genjutsu releases their hand from the opponent, or loses the ability to channel the chakra. The weakness of the technique lies in its extremely close range, especially so with the need to grasp something as usually well-protected as a head or neck. The strength lies in the fast effects and sheer intensity of the genjutsu, crippling all senses at once, incapacitating most in short order. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Customized Naginata Description: A 5 foot long bright grey naginata, with the bottom half able to collapse into the top to make it a more efficient weapon at extremely close range, as well as the tsuba consisting of a hardened rubber disk, to insulate electricity coming through the blade, knowing that his exclusive use of water techniques makes him quite vulnerable to an electric discharge. The coloration is exclusively for blending in with the Hiding in Mist Technique, to make the weapon harder to see. Okay, just threw it in over the post I had to "delete" before.
51,109	1,381	16	1,787	2,152	Higōhō Hyuga „Bastard” Tokyo, where ya from? @.. well everyone in the fight. Higoho inched slightly backwards, deciding to not attack right away. The situation was changing rapidly, and it seemed to be largely in his favor. Never the less, currently he figured it'd prove too stupid to charge the red-head, since he had managed to stay upright for the most part. If it weren't for the many clones created by that asshole guy on the rooftop earlier, it was likely Higoho would have had to defend himself. But now that didn't seem to be the case as the man was preoccupied by clones, intangible clones from the look of it. Higoho just shook his head. “Cheap trick, can't believe it,” he said as he adjusted himself to face towards the right slightly. An attack had been foiled by another red-headed chap. This one seemed to be Confederate, however. “The fuck are you doing, fucking bastard. This is my fight, so get the fuck out.” he sneered at Tatsuya, being able to see him through the steam through his byakugan. He got ready to fight again, getting in the standard Gentle Fist style position. He was going to charge the blue-haired Red Sage that had attempted to shoot him down with some water. The blue-haired bastard made some more mist, but such a cheap trick didn't work to overcome his byakugan. Higoho ran forwards, towards Tatsuya, and then grabbed the boy in the collar, stopping Tatsuya from attacking anyone at all with his sword. Given the mist and steam, it was unlikely that Tatsuya would realize who did it, unless he guessed from the direction it came from. Holding on to his collar, Higoho shoved him aside lazily, seemingly not caring that this was a confederate ally. “Go be a shithead somewhere else, bastard.” he yelled out at the same time. It was highly ironic in fact, that Higoho, whose name meant 'illegitimate', was calling others bastards. In fact, he was probably the only bastard out of all those he had called bastards. Something to think about. Higoho didn't care. After dealing with that pesky red-head Tatsuya, of which Higoho didn't know the name ofcourse, he bolted forwards towards the blue haired Red Sage. The blue-haired boy with the name Nori most likely wouldn't realize the presence of Higoho until it was too late. Higoho sprinted towards Nori, preparing his hands, before striking at him in the stomach. “Hey, ugly, look at me when I'm fighting you!” he said while his hand was sent through the air. If the hand would hit, or fly relatively close past the stomach, Higoho would send out chakra using his gentle fist style, invisible to the naked eye unless one possessed such a kekkei genkai such as the Sharingan or the Byakugan. If his attack was succesful the tenketsu of Nori would be harmed, subject to Higoho's chakra being sent into them, which would cause internal damage to his organs. All in all, quite the painful ordeal. And the boy likely had made it harder for himself to even notice the attack given the mist jutsu. What a dumb shit.. And there was no reason to stop at one strike only. If his first attack connected with Nori's body, he'd rapidly send out his second hand towards the boys chest, repeating the same attack as before in an attempt to strike him through his tenketsu using his own chakra. Seijo Tametomo „Lady Commander Tametomo” Seijo overlooked the battlefield casually while her newt walked up the stairs, ever so slowly. It seemed the fighting was calming down a little bit, since both sides had suffered some casualties now. Yuck. They'd deal with that later - if they won this battle, they could collect the wounded swiftly and possibly save some lives. But not now. The priorities were different at the moment. In the distance she could see some battling going on between a bunch of confederates, and that.. guy. That red-headed red-wearing buffoon that found it necessary to introduce himself with the message that he was heterosexual. That had completely ruined his chances without even saying more than a sentence. And there was a blue-haired fellow as well, seemingly helping his comrade. It was hard to see exactly what was going on, but she had faith that they would win. They were Red Sages after all! To the other side, she could discern Arima taking down some confederate fellow too, before jumping after a political head-honcho. Realizing full well that Arima wasn't as strong as he made himself out to be, she wondered if he'd survive this battle. 'twould be a shame if he didn't. She tapped her foot on Neki's back and bent over slightly, looking at Neki's head. “Neki, do me a favour and go help my stupid cousin.” she said to him, asking him as nice as she could. “Haiiiiiii, Tomotame-samaaaa..” the newt bouldered with it's heavy voice. As Seijo stood bent over, she wasn't facing forwards and missed the large attack launched by a captain of hers, Katsuko Moto. As soon as she looked up and stepped off of the Newt, she looked up the stairs and saw some bodies here and there. She glanced back, spotting Yudai nearby only. “Uhh, nice work. Didn't know you could do that.” she said, grinning at him and sticking up a thumb to him. She seemed under the impression that not Katsuko had dealt with these guys, but rather that Yudai had dealt with them. In fact she hadn't even noticed Katsuko rushing past - it was something that had become known as the Curse of Katsuko under fellow Red Sages. Seijo always seemed to miss the moments where Katsuko did anything worthwhile, but always seemed to appear just when Katsuko messed something up. Meanwhile Neki the Newt had stepped off the stairs towards the left, and was headed to.. assist Arima. “Arima-sama.. here I comeeeeee..” it said, while it charged into the group of shinobi that Arima had left for him. Neki used his tail to swipe left and right, throwing the shinobi off their feet and crashing them into nearby boxes and carts, even going as far as to send one of them flying towards Arima, narrowly flying over his head. “Arima-sama... do you wish.. for me, to capture that politician in my mouth... you could impress some Red Sage comrades at the base later that way.....” it said, waiting for an answer while it sluggishly looked in the direction of Arima. It was very obvious that Neki the Newt wasn't at home on land, given that it was moving about as fast as a man taking a leisurely stroll in the park. At the time that all occured, Seijo had already appeared at the top of the stairs, her hips swaying left to right seductively while she noticed Katsuko shoulderbumping some innocent little shinobi girls into oblivion. Not particularily impressive.. She kept walking towards the large doors that blocked entrance into the compound main building, where the commander was located. Just as she was about to speak to Katsuko, the dumb buffoon said some words that were probably meant to come off threatening, but only made him look like more of a fool. She pinched her nose bridge with two fingers while looking at the ground, noticeably concerned with Katsuko's idiotic behaviour. Giving Katsuko some time to spout his nonsense, she looked to the side at the girl that had just been swung aside by Katsuko. Then, she looked down at the ground, spotting some set of swords. Did they belong to that girl? She bent over, picking up the swords, before tossing them lightly towards the side, aiming at the ground in front of that girl. There was no specific reasoning behind it, perhaps it was meant to come off as a sign of good will, or a challenge to the girl to keep fighting, but for all Seijo knew that girl was dead. The moment was interrupted by Katsuko summoning his gigantic mace and sending it crashing into the door. Nothing came of it, only loud noises and a large shockwave. While others would likely be sent crashing down the stairs again, Seijo was trained well enough to make some chakra in her feet to keep her attached to the ground. She crossed her arms and as the smoke cleared, she looked at Katsuko with a frown. “NICE WORK!” she yelled at him with spite. Curse of Katsuko. She looked back to see if she could spot Yudai or some other Red Sage, and would then order them to go do whatever it took to take down that barrier. “YOU! You look more capable than Katsuko, go and figure out how to take down that barrier!” she'd yell, visibly annoyed at the situation and Katsuko's lack of tact and subtlety.	Partisans Cool Guy Group Entry not allowed to peasants I'm talking about you Savato “To kindle that memory is all I strive for - all this, it has no greater purpose to me. But it's all I can do.” Pictured on the left, Seijo is obviously a well matured woman. Her age would probably be estimated in her early twenties, around 23 or so. That seems to be fairly accurate given her personnel files. What stands out most in her physique are probably her white, short hair and her large breast size. She struts a feminine hourglass figure with wide hips and a wide chest, and a smaller waistline. Adding to that her hips often sway side to side effortlessly, only adding to her appearance as a good looking woman. She stands rather tall for a woman at about 1.74m, and weighs approximately 62 kilo's, though you can guess where most of that weight is located. Her jawline is sharp, almost as if drawn with a pencil and a ruler. Her chin is slightly pointed, but rounded off enough to stop it from appearing like a pointy spear, ready to pierce your body. She has a small mouth with somewhat thin lips, which are pale in color and are only a slight tint darker than her skin. Her large eyes are a brown colour, framed by her eyebrows. Her eyebrows are thin, most likely maintained by Seijo herself. The only thing that stops people from seeing her as only a beautiful woman, are most likely her facial expressions. She's quick to anger. Personnel files.

Should be obvious, heh. 【Sexuality】 Noticeably bisexual. 【Birthplace】 Amegakure. 【Bloodline】 Tametomo. 【Rank】 Lady Commander of the Red Sages, approximated jonin level. Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Assessments of Seijo have shown her to be a brotherly-friendly type of person. She's someone that enjoys very much when you fall down face first in the muddy puddle, and who will gladly spend a few years laughing about that. Never the less she's outgrown that feeling, or at the very least tried to. She's more serious now, which is in line with her position as Lady Commander of the Red Sages. She's still bitter - about the confederation, about the wars, about everything really, and she makes no attempts to hide that. She hates everything about the Confederation, and in her mind, if you are not a Red Sage, you must be a confederate sympathizer. That has grown increasingly prominent in her plans on beating the Confederation now that her brother Tarara died. She's very vengeful, you could say, and it's hard for her to let go of a grudge. Besides this she's also very cocky when it comes down to it, perhaps a bit ruthless, but so far nobody has really dared to stand up against her or question her plans - and she intends to keep it that way. To her, nothing will stand in the way of beating the Confederation, not even her own death. And while before she was fighting merely for freedom, since Tarara's death she's also fighting for him. 【History】 Seijo was born in Amegakure two years apart from her older brother Tarara. They were a semi-happy family, as life in Amegakure wasn't always that great. Especially when it became apparent that two Amegakure shinobi, Ayame and Fujitora, had taken power in Konohagakure. The Amegakure people faced paranoia from all other nations than Konohagakure, seriously hurting their trade power. Then again, it didn't seem to matter much as shortly after Ayame and Fujitora came to power wars started breaking out. Some were even started by Ayame and Fujitora, so it was no surprise Amegakure got involved quickly. By the time that had all happened, Seijo was already a shinobi of fighting age, and was pushed to the front. Luckily for the family all our of them were shinobi, her mother being a strong shinobi with some sensory powers, her father being a taijutsu specialist and her older brother, Tarara, being simply a shinobi. What put Seijo apart from the rest of her family was the utilization of a special kekkei genkai that seemed to have skipped a few generations. In the wars sometimes she'd fight alongside her family, sometimes she'd fight alone with her own squad, but luckily for them they all returned home safe and sound - though Tarara had lost an eye to an enemy kunai. The wars weren't really finished, but something greater was at large. The Confederation arose some time later, and Amegakure being a small village wasn't able to withstand the pressure. They were forced to integrate into the Confederation and were made into the capital - many Amegakure citizens were forced to leave to make way for presidential buildings, apartments for envoys etcetera. While Seijo's mother and father remained behind to 'hold down the fort', Tarara and Seijo left to join up with a band of 'outlaws' that roamed the land. They were Amegakure shinobi who refused to submit to the Confederation, so not quite the rebels they were made out to be. They roamed around the lands for some time and sometimes clashed with other shinobi groups, conflicting for reasons that were no longer valid ever since the confederation had taken over. Over time Tarara grew to become the leader and Seijo his right hand, since there were deaths aplenty in these times and the leaders were usually prime targets - if not for mutiny then for battle with other shinobi groups. At that time the Red Sages were already around and Tarara led the group to join with the Red Sages. The organisation was picking up pace quickly and they made Tarara a captain, and was immediately sent out on missions. The missions varied greatly and Seijo was sometimes sent on missions too, ranging from picking up some equipment, to sabotaging infrastructure. Over time Tarara showed his leadership qualities again and when the previous leader died from old age, Tarara was designated to take over. Seijo wasn't bitter about being in his shadow so much, just wishing to do what was right for her family. But unfortunately Tarara didn't last long, as he was assasinated in the dead of the night by some special operations force from the Confederation. The fight didn't last long at all - Tarara and the few shinobi that were around put up a fierce fight but there were many shinobi, and not enough of the Red Sages. Before reinforcements could arrive Tarara was killed. There was no designation of leadership. To Seijo, there was no question who would take over. It would be her, or she'd leave the Red Sages and do the job herself. But when she claimed leadership, there wasn't anyone that wished to oppose her at that time. The fire burning in her eyes now was enough to dissuade anyone from attempting that, even if they had wanted to. 【Family ties】 The family Seijo grew up in wasn't anything special. There's no sobstories involved, with dead parents, loss of loved ones in the past, growing up an orphan. And there weren't so many happy stories, given that they were in Amegakure, which wasn't exactly the most peaceful nor rich place in the world. Never the less she loves her family, or what is left of it at the current point in time. After all, conflict breeds death. Tarara Tametomo \| Brother \| 30 at time of death, Amegakure, lord commander of the Red Sages. He always loved Red Panda's. Seijo didn't, and she regrets that now. Oiro Tametomo \| Father \| 56, Amegakure, ex-shinobi, currently has a ramen restaurant that serves to the poor. It also serves to the rich. Really, it serves to anyone, he just says he serves to the poor because that sounds better. Rei Tametomo \| Mother \| 54, Amegakure, ex-kunoichi and professional nagger. She likes to nag about a lot of things, especially about Oiro not making his ramen properly. 【Dreams and fears】 Seijo's dreams are really only related to destroying or atleast getting even with the confederation. Besides that she wishes to see her father and mother again in peace one day, but she realizes that that might not be a possibility. Another dream is to meet with one of the Choko siblings - Fujitora or Ayame - though she has heard that it's possible both are deceased since the Confederation took over. Her fears, well, she hasn't many, which has more to do with her attempts at being seen as a coldheaded leader. She ofcourse fears losing her life - she is human and every human fears this. But this fear isn't in the back of her head whenever she enters battle. A fear that is also present is the fear of losing her followers - while she doesn't care directly for their support, she knows she needs them to succeed in her goals. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Seijo is a medium distance fighter with a focus on utilizing jutsu to keep the enemy at bay and kill them. That aside however she possesses some strength and is capable of using taijutsu if she needs to as well - quite adequately even. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Fungus Release Description: The Fungus release allows the user a control over fungal-style plants and moss, which would be able to sprout from the users touch. Remarkably harmless in how it sounds, it's been weaponized quite well through years of practice. The origins of this release are unknown, but the uses are not. It doesn't manifest in clear sight, as the fungus used in this release are housed inside the users body, feeding off of the waste the host produces. As such the user has a notoriously quicker metabolism, as well as a noticeably lower rate of human waste dispersion. In use, the release manifests itself through the obvious moss and fungus it produces. The moss is highly flammable, but the large area of effect jutsu's that can be used with it can cause a spreading fire, or even an explosion, since the spores it releases are very dense. This might inadvertently trap everyone inside the technique, friend or foe, in a fiery vortex. Besides that, the moss has some interesting capabilities, such as genjutsu inducing properties, poison inducing properties or even a chakra and dead tissue absorbing quality, much a kin to real moss and fungi. Some specific branch of the fungi even have mind-controlling capabilities, but it's required to induce the fungal spores into the target by touch, after which it will grow it's way towards the targets brain internally and take over, collect info or possibly control them. Strengths: Versatile and allows the user to regain strength and chakra mid-battle through absorbtion of dead tissue. It's got a great variety for many situations and it's not obvious exactly what is going on with this bloodline limit until it's used. Weaknesses: Fire and (controlled) chakrablasts can somewhat easily deal with the fungi, although you have to be careful with the chakra since the moss can also feed off of it if used improperly. Besides that, it becomes easy to see what the bloodline limit entails once it's used, as it's obvious this is moss or fungus. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu Assimilate All Creation Technique B rank techniques: Barrier: Dome Method Technique 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Transportation Technique Rank: C Range: N/A. Description: Forming the tiger seal, the user sinks into the ground into a small circle of moss with toadstools in it, seemingly dissapearing. A simple transportation technique, this technique will then allow the user to appear somewhere else in the same circle of moss with toadstools in it, which seem to appear out of nowhere to anyone watching. The technique is usable in battle, but the sinking effect is slow allowing opponents to land hits while she is 'sinking' into the patch of moss. Never the less, the appearing effect is quickly, allowing Seijo to appear out of nowhere rather quick and attacking. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Invocation of Nature Rank: B Range: 500m diameter. Description: After forming a boar-hare-ram seal string, and then slamming the palm into the ground, the user can transform the area around themselves into a mossy field by spreading the moss inside their body rapidly over the land, capable of terraforming even the most arid lands into moss and fungus covered 'grasslands' which will quickly (10 minutes) give rise to many forms of plantlife and even small trees (30 minutes). This technique seems semi-useless but it allows the user to transform land into something both useful, and to create a place where she is at home. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Control of Nature Rank: B Range: 500m diameter. Description: Using the moss that is already present in an area, the user is able to control the fungus and moss to a degree, making it capable of grabbing feet, forming walls and also spreading it even further, as long as the controlled substance stays in contact with moss or the user. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Deterioration of Spores Rank: B Range: A cone of 20m outwards of the user, in a triangle shape. Description: Inhaling deeply and placing an open palm in front of the mouth, the user exhales and blows out a large amount of spores over the area in front of her, which carry a poisonous substance that can cause anyone that inhales the spores to start breathing heavily, growing stronger and ultimately choking them by growing fungal growths in their throat over the course of a week if left untreated. Anyone that gets into contact with them externally, such as skin contact, will develop rashes which burn heavily, but are non lethal and can easily be treated as well. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Fungal Chakra Sap technique Rank: A Range: Touch. Description: After spreading fungus from one person (user) to the other (target) the user is able to 'infect' the target with fungus, by touching them and so spreading the fungus and moss to them. The user might notice, but will find it is hard to get rid of the fungus once it's internal through the chakra tenketsu. Once inside, the fungus will slowly sap away the enemies chakra, eating it to strengthen itself. After approximately a minute, the chakra eating fungus will be 'full' and detach itself, either falling off of the body, or being taken away by the blood system of the target. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Hallucination of Spores Rank: B Range: A cone of 50m outwards from the user. Description: Inhaling deeply and placing an open palm in front of the mouth, the user exhales and blows out a large amount of spores over the area in front of her, which are infused with the users' chakra and can carry over a genjutu upon being touched by a spore. Since it's easy to be freed from a genjutsu this technique is generally used only when fighting small groups. The genjutsu is capable of doing pretty much anything a high level genjutsu can do, giving the user pretty much full control over the effects of the genjutsu, while using the subconcious of the target to identify and use psychologically harmful events. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Greater Deterioration of Spores Rank: A Range: An area of 1km in diameter. Description: Similar to the normal deterioration of spores technique, this technique can cover entire battlefields in spores, transmitting the poison to anyone that inhales the spores, and also onto any allies that get harmed. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Ultimate Siphoning Jutsu Rank: S Range: Medium Description: After covering a field in moss, the user will then use their Control technique to encase an opponent in a special type of moss that hardens tremendously when it comes into contact with foreign chakra. It makes it able to withstand hard blows from taijutsu, weaponry and most jutsu. Encasing the opponent, the user then starts using the moss to siphon chakra, and transfer it to themselves to refill their reserves. What makes this S-rank is the speed at which this occurs - within ten minutes a target will be drained of nearly all chakra, at which point the technique can be disabled and the target 'freed' although with the little amount of chakra they would have left, they'd be as good as disabled for the duration of the fight. Jutsu name: Summoning: Neki the Newt Rank: C Range: N/A. Description: This summoning technique summons Neki the Newt. Given the qualities of a newt, this newt is capable of high speed water traversal as well as shooting water out of it's mouth. It's size is medium sized (it's aproximately 2m. high and 4m. long) and is big enough to carry two people in it's mouth at once if they are standing up. Weaknesses: Weaknesses to all internal fungi, such as the inhalation of the poisonous spores, or being touched by either the fungal parasite technique or chakra sap technique are external chakra. This is due to the fact that the moss and fungi adapt to the targets chakra, feeding off of it for sustainability. Any external chakra will offset it and make it deteriorate, as well as the effects with it. As such you can be pulled out of the genjutsu with external chakra (as is the case with regular genjutsu as well), you can stop the effects of spreading poisonous moss and fungus due to the Deterioration of Fungus technique, although the effects it's had on the target up until that point will remain (i.e you won't get rid of the rash, or the internal burning sensation it created). A weakness for external moss (the spores in the air, or the moss on the ground) is that it's highly flamable, however this is also a strength because it can be used against you. “I do not give to receive - I simply take.” If I die tonight Higōhō is a man of reasonable build, especially considering he practices a mostly non contact style of fighting. He's not precisely buff, more like lean, but that's just the way he likes it. His arms are toned as well as his chest and stomach which is more or less the extent of his build. He has a rounded jawline, with a round chin, protruding slightly from the rest of his faces' contours. The skin on his face is rather tight - it wouldn't be possible to pinch and pull his cheeks. He has a very thin nosebridge, and a slightly pointed nose. If one had to label it, his nose were likely to be seen as about average sized. Some of his facial features that stand out a lot are his pure white eyes which conflicts with his black hair and the black shirts he always wears. Although his outfit always changes (he's quite aware of fashion, and although he doesn't follow the latest trends, he likes to dress in ways that make him feel good) he has one consistent piece of clothing in his look - his necklace. On this necklace is the mon of the Hamajō Confederation. One could say he is very much a patriot. And the nice things one can say about him end about there. Personnel files.

Hyuga. 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Higōhō isn't a nice person whatsoever. He's very sure of himself, cocky to some, arrogant to others. It doesn't help that he's not weak, either. He believes very strongly in himself, and although he's smart enough to know that he's no Madara or Pain, he knows he's strong. Not only is that because of the Byakugan, it's also because of his own hard work he thinks, as well as some natural skill he feels like he has. His cockiness and arrogance has lead him to become quite careless when conversing with people - you can call him an asshole, a lighter term would be being rude. Truth is, he just doesn't really care. If a girl asks him what he thinks of her dress, and he doesn't like it, he'll tell her the dress is ugly. If her face is ugly too, well, he'll probably tell her that too. Though that doesn't mean he would dislike this person, he just thinks himself above most people, so he feels a right to say that. Ofcourse, if he likes something, he isn't afraid to say that either. But he doesn't like that much things. In battle.. do I even need to say this? He's arrogant. He's a bit overzealous at times, and doesn't know his own limits, willing to take on things that are above his own skill level. But so far that's not really ever gone wrong terribly. Aside that, you can call him dumb, or you can call him brave, but he doesn't really give up. You'll have to kill him, knock him out, or cut off his legs and arms if you want him to stop getting up after you pummel him. To him, it doesn't matter. Dying is more honorable than giving up. Besides his arrogant appearance and his lack of care for people around him - the catch is that really he does care. Being a bastard child and - boo-hoo-hoo - not receiving a lot of attention, love, nurturing and care, meant that to Higōhō he had to appear like he didn't care, to not give his father the satisfaction of being broken by his lack of care. This carried over to his adult years. And while he might not care for others because he likes them, he cares for their well being since they are in the same battalion. So, he'll be very sacrificial if he needs to be, willing to give his life up for something like a mission or another person. 【History】 Higōhō was born 18 years ago, to a Hyuga side branch member and a woman of lesser morals. Not exactly a brilliant future ahead of himself, especially since he was born with the Byakugan and thus it was demanded that he was handed over to the Hyuga's He was immediately given the cursed seal on his forehead. A stain of shame on his father's reputation, and already that of his own. Not like a newborn baby was aware of such concepts as reputations. But during his childhood his father made it painfully obvious that he wasn't exactly wanted - 'an accident' - and later one even went as far as saying that he was a stain on the family name, a bastard child who was never meant to be. He shrugged it off, really, because at that point it became apparent that his father was a deadbeat, only allowed to stay in the Hyuga home because his drinking problem and gambling addiction would bring shame to the family if word ever got out. Most of his childhood he was micro-managed by the nannies and tutored by the older members. More often than not he was treated as a child that wasn't supposed to be there, but they put up with him regardless. He showed progress in using the byakugan, especially the gentle fist, as if some sort of innate skill with that style was already within him. Whether that was true or not remained to be seen but fact of the matter was he did good in classes. As soon as he became 7, he was sent to the shinobi academy, because a bastard child had nothing better to become than a shinobi anyway. He did well. Well enough, anyway. Didn't exactly want to be there but hadn't much other choice. At that point in time he had already thought to himself that his only purpose in life was really to be a shinobi - and to fight for the confederation. The confederate soldiers were sort of his heroes, warriors fighting to protect their homes, true patriots, yadda yadda. He loved them. So, he figured, why not become one? The Confederation took over at that point and since then his class was kind of filled with masses of kids. That meant that, even though there were many prospect shinobi that were at a good level, there were far more useless kids who were only there because their parents want them to be. And that meant Higōhō would stand out a little. Welp, he passed, no big surprise. Got to be a genin running around doing stuff like saving kittens from trees and stuff. It didn't matter, he was still a confederate shinobi, which felt good. It didn't take him too long to become a chunin - the Confederation took an interest in him due to the Byakugan, and so his promotion came rather easy. And here we are! 【Family ties】 His family is mostly the Hyuga clan - his father, ofcourse, and then the nannies and teachers that he worked with. The other kids, he supposes, were 'okay'. He didn't really got bullied, so that's a plus. Katso Hyuga \| Father \| 47, his room in the Hyuga estate, professional deadbeat. 【Dreams and fears】 He dreams of, one day, becoming a jonin and leading a team, or perhaps even becoming a captain for the confederation and entering the political world of the Confederation. Besides that, he kinda wants to live a calm life after his service. What a simple soul. His fear is probably dying by Curse Seal - it'd be hard knowing you're gonna die without being able to fight back. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Higōhō is a very close combat oriented fighter, using the gentle fist. He is a proficient gentle fist user, capable of ousting most other nintaijutsu users with his own, and being a force to be reckoned with even within the Hyuga clan. That is not to say he'll beat anyone, however. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Byakugan Description: I can copy paste this URL here or you can just read it if you have no idea about byakugan (you barbar). His byakugan has a maximum range of 12 km, though that's only when he's not doing anything intensive (such as fighting). 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Eight Trigrams Mountain Crusher B rank techniques: Gentle Fist (style) Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm Eight Trigrams Sixty-four Palms Eight Trigrams Thirty-two Palms C rank techniques: Palm Bottom Tenketsu Needle 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Eight Trigrams Vacuum Combo Rank: C Range: Very close. Description: The jutsu is nothing more than a combination of a gentle fist move with the vacuum palm move. First the user spins around on their axle, using their left/right hand (depending on the way you spin) to open up the victims' body by slapping away any defensive hand placements, before slapping their palm forwards and using the vacuum palm technique. “Watashi wa Kami - I am still God.” Over the past 11 years Yamato hasn't changed much - appearance wise - in comparison with before the Hamajo confederation arrived. He's grown in size, reaching up to 1.83cm by now. He still dresses the same - tshirts, a-shirts or sweatshirts with some form of jacket over them. He usually wears chino's like he did before, but has traded his slip-in's for a pair of black combat boots. Yamato is defined as a handsome boy, having a chiseled jawline and somewhat skinny-looking cheeks. His nose bridge is quite thin, although not as if it were a stripe. Contrary to most with a thin nosebridge, his nostrils are also thin. Besides that he has no specific bone structure related characteristics. His eyes are a deep dark green, but not so dark that they can be mistaken for a grey-black colour. In accordance with genetics they are slightly slanted. The most defining features on his face are most likely his 3 large, reddish old scars running across his nose. Yamato's body is 'normal' in terms of muscle and fat, though it's improved compared to 11 years ago. He has some obviously defined muscled due to the nature of their schooling, as a normal shinobi is expected to keep up with his athletic properties. His arms are skinny, meaning that the muscles there are by nature more defined, but due to hard training, they are also very much so toned to perfection. Without flexing you could most likely see the muscles regardless. The same goes for his legs. His chest is not very broad nor does it extend towards the front due to musclemass. As such he has a rather 'normal' looking chest. Regardless he does have some definition there, although you probably wouldn't see it very often due to his clothes. Personnel files.

Although as every other clan they have to grow with the times, and as such many customs have become merely symbolical and don't actually hold much significance. These customs are almost always on par with that of the other clans, since the clan is not much different from the others. That said, they have since their waning influence, dabbled more into even darker trades, and many of the Minamoru which were not shinobi, have become actively involved in the illegal arms trade, drugs trade, prostitution and other illegal activities. 【Special Traits】 Males are known to be born with black hair specifically, with the females usually being born with either black hair, or white hair. Chances seem to be 50/50 for either of the colour. Their eyes are green, differing only in coloration between dark and light green. The Minamoru do not have any hiden or kekkei genkai - in fact, they despise kekkei genkai and see it as a curse, where as hiden are seen as a pest, but 'acceptable.' 【Influences】 The Minamoru influence on Konohagakure was very, very big. Some of it was subtle, such as underground influences due to the Yakuza affiliations they have, or rather.. the fact that they lead one of the three largest Yakuza groups in Konohagakure, and dealt in things like Senju DNA, Sharingan black trade (rare) or even the drug trade. Their affiliations in this field are obvious to those involved, but to the outside world, it seems completely preposterous that the Minamoru, a powerful and high 'n mighty clan is involved in this. Besides that they were a huge economical influence 11 years ago, because they owned more or less 60% of all of Konoha's economical centre with Minamoru Enterprises. The remaining 40% is, thankfully for Konoha, not theirs since the other Yakuza groups were trying hard to wrangle control away from them. The fact that they own most of the economical centre should probably say enough about their economical influence but this is not to say that all this money flows directly into the pockets of the Minamoru clan - bribes, wages, etcetera all is paid from these funds. Finally the political aspect of the clan, which was not as big as it's underground or economical influence. Never the less it's still present - the fact that the Minamoru are a shinobi clan in essence (though, that is debateable very much so) gave them a small influence, and their alliances with other clans, as well as their feuds with some of the others, are a reason that they were politically well regarded, though not as high as the Hyuga or the Uchiha, or even the Uzumaki's although those have recently been more forthcoming towards the Minamoru. Ever since the death of Reijo at the hands of Fujitora Choko, the clan has fallen, and fallen deep. The only Minamoru of relative high stands are the shinobi, and even those have been falling ever so slightly. The only two remaining shinobi with a grain of honor left are Reijo's children - Rei Minamoru, a 25 year old medical kunoichi, and Yamato Minamoru himself, the heir to the clan after his uncle passes away. Never the less the clan has no estates left - all financial enterprises, shops, financial buildings were given away by Fujitora Choko to rival companies to ensure that the Minamoru held Yakuza group received no financing. Their political power waned as Reijo was the politician of the clan - the other Minamoru were regarded as too hotheaded and his uncle was a drunk, so he barely did anything with the clan. The Minamoru are barely a remnant of themselves, if they can even be called that. 【Relations】 Naito - the Naito clan is one of the clans that the Minamoru have been feuding with for the longest time. The feud started about 200 years ago, when both the Minamoru and the Naito were relatively new to Konoha. Ever since it's been dubbed the Feud of the Tiger and the Dogs. The long standing feud hasn't subsided just yet as members of this clan frequently clash - be it with words, swords, or politics. No longer applicable. The Naito clan is wiped out. 【History】 The Minamoru clan was founded quite recently compared to the other clans such as the Uchiha or the Hyuga. They were not part of the original founding clans, and migrated later as a result of economical changes. They weren't originally shinobi but quickly managed to adapt into a Shinobi clan effortlessly. They were comprised of highly driven individuals that wished to become the greatest at, more or less, whatever they attempted. It didn't always succeed, actually, more often than not, but you only need to give one glance to the current status of the clan to see how far they kicked it in those 200 years, compared to the Uchiha. Never the less they don't quite fit into Konoha - they are not so much underhanded, and wouldn't do anything to directly harm Konoha, but they are very self centered and do anything they do for the clan or themselves, not for Konoha. Konoha is simply a means to an end for them. Never the less a feeling of pride and honour is also common place in the clan so Konoha needn't worry about the Minamoru betraying them. They do what they do for themselves, or atleast so they say, but deep down most of the Minamoru are quite self sacrificial, especially the shinobi. Those that aren't in the shinobi trade are often a whole different breed of people, mostly simply normal people and civilians. In short, that means they have a tough skin, cussing, feuding, and appear somewhat rude and cold. Underneath that however are people that deeply respect tradition, hierarchy and self sacrifice. They might not show it but it's definetely there. Moving on, they also don't fit Konoha because they are very outspoken against kekkei genkai - and sadly for Konoha (or the Minamoru's, depending on who you ask) there are plenty of clans with kekkei genkai's. This has been reason for them to be a bit of an outcast-clan compared to others, distancing themselves from main Konoha, living outside the village. Up until the mid-years, between Sarada and Boruto's births, and current situation, they were insignificant, standard fodder clans. However it was then that they broke through with the arrival of the ronin, that fueled the underground Yakuza operations that some of the Minamoru were involved in. Due to this they suddenly raised in power unexplainedly, gaining more funds to further their political influence and economical presence. It didn't take long before Reijo took over 40-so years later, and furthered that all even more, expanding their influences rather rapidly. 11 years later, in the Hamajō Confederation, there's not much left of the Minamoru clan. All estates are gone, only the housing area remaining. Everything is, more or less, gone. Only Fujitora Choko and his 11th corps are to be blamed - that much any shinobi in the Minamoru clan will tell you. 【Rank】 Jonin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Yamato used to be seen as a thug or a criminal in the making. Not far from the truth given his father was the largest criminal in the entire village - something Yamato has no particular feelings towards since to him it was a way of life since his birth. However Yamato was never a criminal - he might've done questionable things during his services to the Hamajō Confederation but never anything that he'd consider criminal activity. Something else that characterizes him is his aggressive tendencies, as he is very very quick to anger and is, very much so, an asshole to everyone he meets. Those that know him for longer, such as Akio Tendou or Aoi Don Maquia will testify to this. Yamato is a bright young man, widely regarded in Konohagakure as a prodigy of attack. This is seen in his psyche as well, as the boy has shown aggressive and violent tendencies from time. Some would call it a short fuse.. and others call it being a thug in the making. Regardless of which is true, the boy also has shown impeccable resilience, steadfastness and a healthy dose of respect for tradition. Rumor within the Minamoru clan has said this is due to the amount of training that got instilled into him at an early age, and that he instills into himself daily even still. The boy also hates kekkei genkai for one reason or another, a sentiment shared by the entire clan, and some radicals even go so far as to wish those with a kekkei genkai dead. Yamato is a good student, and gets very good grades compared to those in the same years as him. He has shown a talent for, how could it be anything else, taijutsu and nintaijutsu, focusing especially on the offensive. This goes well with his aggressive nature and he is known to be able to take down opponents in a matter of seconds, although his defense is less than average. Despite attempts to convince him, his resilience has proven that fruitless. Then again, the boy has always been a prodigy and nobody has been able to prove that the boy might need a defense as well. This has affected his personality in a more or less negative way, although that is open to interpretation. The boy is somewhat- no, very arrogant, and while he wouldn't boast about his skills, he is fully aware of his status as a prodigy. This has given him the idea that he is above everyone else, and he has remained to keep this idea as he's been unhindered by anyone who could prove him wrong. Watashi wa Kami - in his eyes, he is God. 【History】 Pre Hamajō Confederation Yamato's childhood years were essentially a calmth before the storm. He spent his first four years as most children his age did - calmly in the arms of his mother, and playing outside. Then at the age of four, his father decided that it was time for him to become ready. Determined to make the clan greater than it already was, he hired a teacher who was to teach Yamato the basics about being a shinobi. No, he didn't learn any techniques, but learnt the mental side of shinobi's, namely rules, history and things you needed to know. This affected his school career indirectly as he had more background knowledge than most when he entered base school. During his time at base school he still had interest in making friends and preferred to learn techniques, practice taijutsu or throwing and fighting with kunai and shuriken. He often sparred with others, showing of his tenacious and aggressive nature in these matches. He often ended up fighting kids that were bigger and older, beginning to make a name for himself. He became a genin at the age of 12 like most others and went on to attend the high school to become a chunin. In that aspect, while he was a prodigy, he was like everyone else. During high school years he maintained a very steady level of training, to maintain his position within the clan which had grown by now. He became, more or less, the pride of his clan and family, and went unrivaled within the clan. In highschool he maintained a same degree of authority, although there were those that had problems with it, he found that he barely had any problems maintaining his position as the people that objected were often not even close to his level of mastery. Although this makes him sound like a hard ass, all he wanted was for people to more or less leave him alone. The only people he could really get along with was his own family. And even that was strenuous at times. Later, he became semi friends with Aoi, who had shown Yamato to be more capable than she let onto. Never the less they weren't ever close to friends - more so, being colleagues that enjoyed working together with each other more than if they had to work with others, the exception to that being Akio, who was Aoi's preferred companion for a long time. As for the hatred of people with kekkei genkai, it stems from the preconceived notion that people with kekkei genkai seem to think themselves special, untouchable or even godlike, and when you pair that with historical events focusing around kekkei genkai and being mostly negative (Infinite Tsukuyomi, Hyuga clan being a prime target to other villages), it results in a hatred that is widespread among this clan, which has seen it's fair share of bad luck to do with kekkei genkai during the centuries. Besides that Yamato is of the opinion that he could beat a kekkei genkai easily through strength and a superior will to work for something. Arrival of Hamajō Confederation During the arrival of the Hamajō Confederation Yamato played a part in the taking of the city. While he was defending the city at first, he switched sides halfway through after realizing that the Hamajō Confederation wasn't all that bad - in fact, it was better than Ayame and Fujitora. It didn't help that Fujitora was responsible for the death of his father - and in turn, the near death of his family. The Hamajō Confederation would have a larger chance to make his family important again. He arrived on scene near the 11th corps headquarters, which was where Fujitora was holed up. Finding himself trailing mostly behind dead bodies, he soon find the source of this - Yakoul. The cat-like person had slaughtered most of the 11th corps, including Saburo and Daiki, two people that Yamato had hoped to kill for himself. Above all, it had killed Fujitora - which was a crime in the eyes of Yamato, blinded by honour. Knowing better than to take revenge by attacking Yakoul, he simply boded his time. He got promoted within the Hamajō Confederation and is now a captain, or otherwise known as Jonin, largely in service at the Amegakure capital. However, recently he's received orders to go to the border area to investigate a compound, and meet with commander Yakoul, who'll be making further use of his services. 【Family ties】 Yamatos family was rather normal, if you keep in mind that he grew up with a family that was not only his father and mother but also included close relatives of those people. Given that his father is the clan head, he has always felt like the entire clan was his family, and not just his father and mother. As such he always felt a great drive to do well, for the honor of the clan. Furthermore the birth of his younger sister when he was 2 added to his drive as he was under the pretense that he'd get to, or even have to, teach her. Reijo Minamoru \| Father \| 43 at time of passing, Konohagakure, used to be often away on bussiness, was a politician and economist, it's said he has a pair of mistresses in any city. Mika Minamoru \| Mother \| 47, Konohagakure, restaurant owner and mother, she is a hard worker who never complains. Atleast she likes to think that she doesn't. Rei Minamoru \| Sister \| 25, Konohagakure, medical shinobi. Popular girl, but unlike Yamato she finds practicing boring and she'd rather spend her time away from home with friends. 【Dreams and fears】 Yamato secretly dreams of a world where there are no kekkei genkai as this would, in his eyes, greatly reduce conflict. Furthermore he dreams of making the Minamoru clan even greater than his father did, to outdo him in something that his father was already very good at. As for fears, Yamato fears causing death and dishonor to the clan, which goes without saying. Besides that he also fears losing respect from the clan and, to a lesser degree, to other shinobi of the Hamajō Confederation. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Yamato's fighting style revolves entirely around the attack, offensiveness and taking down an opponent with hard hitting blows. Defense is almost nonexistant in his style, as he barely needs it. He is extremely resilient, as mentioned before, and as such he can take a lot of hits of any kind without showing signs of pain. Besides that, he is also someone who never, ever gives up. As such he will keep getting up even if he knows he cannot win - an admirable trait to some and a sign of stupidity to others. Another aspect of his style is courage, in the form of never being frightened. He is going to be the first to jump into battle and he's going to do so with an aggression bound to shake hearts and silence voices. 【Ninja techniques】 B rank techniques: Katon: Great Fire Destruction C rank techniques: Katon: Great Fireball Technique 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Minamoru-shi: Nokori Onaji (Minamoru Clan: Remain the Same, 残り同じ) Rank: S Range: N/A Description: This technique is, more or less, what constitutes Minamoru's hiden. It was created by Yamato due to his reckless nature and desire to enter the fray as the first one in - which was a negative thing before. Now, that turns into a good thing. The technique utilizes a very very small amount of chakra, which gathes in a 'pool' of chakra within the user. In general, there's never been a time where the chakra gets used up so quickly in usage of the technique that it completely empties out. This passive ability consumes chakra at a very slow rate constantly, even when not in combat. Luckily Yamato's chakra pool is large enough to sustain it. This ability works through getting hurt - as strange as it may sounds - converting damage done to the user and turning it into raw power. In effect, that means that 'more damage input = more damage output' in simple terms. Muscles are stimulated by the damage, as well as the psychological will to fight on. This allows Yamato to press on past his normal limits - which were already extraordinarily high - and keep fighting even with broken bones, torn muscles or large gaping wounds. The drawbacks to this are, ofcourse, that he's going to be less accurate and skillfull, but more powerful. In short attacks will be more powerful but he'll have a harder time hitting, ofcourse that depends largely on the type of wounds too. That's not to say that he heals them instantly - if he receives a mortal wound, he'll die pretty much if he doesn't receive treatment regardless of the jutsu. But receiving wounds does make him stronger, both in how he feels and how he actually is. It doesn't make him less mortal - but he sees him self as a God. Would he believe he's still mortal? Jutsu name: Minamoru-shi: Chakurabāsuto (Minamoru Clan: Chakra Burst, チャクラバースト) Rank: A Range: 5m-10m Description: Releasing one fourth of the chakra stored in his pool for the Nokori Onaji technique, he releases a pure burst of chakra out of his entire body, causing a shockwave of chakra. This shockwave can extend between 5m and 10m, dependant on how large his pool currently is. The shockwave is powerful enough to send shinobi that don't hold themselves down on the ground flying, sending lightweights (80<kg.) flying atleast 20 meters at high speed, and sending heavyweights (80>kg.) stumbling out of the shockwave area. Objects are sent flying away too, such as kunai, leaves and other random items in the area. The jutsu isn't incredibly damaging on it's own, dependant on objects in the area. For instance, in an empty dirt field, there'll be no objects to send flying, and no objects for the enemy to crash into. So, damage will be reduced to perhaps some light scraping from scraping on the ground. In a forest, or a densely built in city, the damage will be more extensive, given that the enemy might fly into trees, rocks, buildings, roadsigns, etcetera. Jutsu name: Katon: Great Fire Fists Rank: A Range: Close Description: The technique begins by creating a short series of seals ended by a Tiger seal - although since this is Yamato's signature move, he has perfected it to the point where he doesn't need to form the seals any longer. After this the user flicks his wrists and they are set ablaze. Not yet taking a shape the user must focus the chakra around this area for a short period, in the case of Yamato a second or two. After this is done the fire becomes hotter, akin to a bunsenburner in heat, and the fire will take the color blue as a result. The resulting heat is enough to roast skin even if it's not touching the fire, and enough to severely burn anyone that gets in direct contact with the flames, enough to cause third degree (yes, that hot) burns when you get directly hit by a punch of this technique. Anyone standing nearby Yamato will feel the heat emenating off of the boy, whether they are friend or foe, before he leaps into the battle. The fire takes the shape of a lions head, akin to the two guarding lions that stand outside most wealthy places or places of public interest. Jutsu name: Katon: Great Fire Extraction Rank: A Range: Close Description: Yaoku's Revenge sets the user ablaze for a short time, appearing to others as an explosion. In reality it works as a distraction, while the user cocks his hand back which is then lit ablaze. The single hand will be heated up so much, that it overpowers even the Fists of a Tiger technique, heating up to the extent where it will be able to melt both skin, muscle and bone. The intensity of the technique requires so much chakra that it is pretty much useable only thrice. After the required heat is reached, a matter of seconds for Yamato, the user lunges forwards through the explosion he caused himself and launched his fist into the enemy, melting skin first, then fat and muscle, and finally bone before the hand cools down. If used effectively, and the hit connects, it will be a tremendous attack able to incapacitate or kill most enemies. But it requires accuracy, something that is often lacking when an enemy is moving around, and also because the explosion caused by Yamato would obscure his vision. Besides that, the attack leaves him rather exhausted, so that he'd have to retreat from the fight, something that Yamato could obviously never do. As such it's likely for him to overexert himself after using this technique. Jutsu name: Katon: Great Fire Bind Rank: B Range: 10 meter in front of Yamato Description: To be used in conjuction with the Great Fire Extraction technique, but useable on it's own too. This technique is not neccesarily a fighting technique, the sole technique in Yamato's arsenal that isn't focussed 100% on the offense. However it is used as a runner up to a very offensive move. After forming a boar and tiger seal, the user holds the tiger seal while a set of 2 fiery hands emerge from his back, quickly coming out at a rapid speed. These hands will head for the enemy almost instinctively, and grab the enemy by the arm. Once grabbed it will be virtually impossible to get out lest you have a teammate that is able to free you or you work out a genius way to break free. Because the hands are made of flames you will receive slight burning although the burns will not be harmful whatsoever, akin to a D rank fire jutsu if not less harmful. The true fear you should have.. is the follow up jutsu. There is a slight reaction time between being grabbed and the start of the technique, around 1.5 seconds, but dodging will only end up causing the hands to chase you for a longer time. The only true escape is to get out of the 10 meter mark, but that will be hard with just 1.5 second to escape. It's possible for ninja's with above average jutsu, however. Another weakness, aside from it's length, is it's weakness to both water and earth defensive jutsu, such as the earthen walls or the water techniques that send out half an ocean. Using wind or fire against these hands is nearly useless, matter of fact it's counter productive because adding more fire to the arms will have no effect, while using wind based jutsu on them will fuel the flames, speeding them up even more. Electrical jutsu are useless, too, because electricity will go through the hands. An extraordinarily fast shinobi (read: faster than Yamato) will be able to dodge the hands initially and then attack quickly after if he times it right, because attacking Yamato and forcing him to release the tiger seal will stop the jutsu. However, if Yamato moves but still holds the seal, the jutsu will continue. The time it takes to form the hands and attempt to grab the opponent is all within 1 post, but the actual act of grabbing depends on it being dodged/ran away from, and as such can only happen in the 2nd post. Jutsu name: Fuuton: Greater Fire Fists Rank: C Range: N/A. Description: Technically not a technique on it's own, but still classified as one, the user will not have to form any seals, instead he simply has to augment fuuton chakra in his fists and release it into his fists of the Fire Fist jutsu. Due to Fuuton acting as 'fuel' (fuel for fire is oxygen, a source and burnable material) the fire will begin to burn even hotter, turning the fire blue and causing the area it's used in to appear 'darker' or closer to nightfall. This is due to the bright source of light making the environments appear darker than they really are simply because of the contrast or difference in lightsources. Even on a blue sky, clear lit day it will appear as if it were 00:00 midnight. The fists of the Fire-tiger will burn so hot, the radius at which the heat can be felt greatly expands and even those standing close to Yamato during the usage of this will feel uncomfortably warm, and if they stay near long enough, might begin getting a serious sunburn. The main effect also increases, still holding onto the 3rd degree burns upon connecting a hit, but adding in the additional fuuton element of a highly increased knockback and a cutting effect, too. You will go flying most definetely when you get hit by this augmented technique, sending lighter opponents up to 100m away and heavy, fat opponents at a weight of 200kg about 30 meters. Furthermore, there will be slight cuts, as if you got hit by 20 kunai at once. Ofcourse, that's all superficial wounds - nothing life threatening, but definetely painful. Like most nintaijutsu, this is extemely destructive, but exerting at the same time. There is no real weakness to this technique, as it's not really a technique to begin with but more so an augmentation or reinforcement of another. As such, weaknesses of the Fists of the Tiger still exist, such as suiton jutsu or defensive doton jutsu. Even so, the usage of this extra fuuton jutsu will allow the user to simply brute-force his way past many of these jutsu anyway, most notably doton. Suiton will always be a problem for fire users and this technique is no exception. Jutsu name: Katon: Great Fire Bomb Rank: B Range: 7.5m Description: This technique is a secret trump card held in high regard by the Minamoru clan. Not many outside of the clan know of it, because it's a rather rough technique on both the victim and the user. The users can begin this technique by forming the Tiger seal, after which it cannot be stopped anymore. The user envelops themself in flames, starting out akin to any other fire technique and indistinguishable at this time, looking rather harmless. However this all leads to an explosion. An explosion of the user itself into fiery death. In essence it's a fiery suicide technique that will blow up the user plus anything within 3.5m of the technique, and will damage anything up to 7.5m around the technique. The bad side? If you use this technique you die. Jutsu name: Minamoru-shi: Jisatsu-ryō (Minamoru Clan: Suicide Charge, 自殺料) Rank: B Range: 50m. Description: Utilizing his Futoon element, the user 'boosts' his speed quickly by displacing air in front of him towards his back, to travel quicker similar to how an airplane gains lift. However, this technique isn't fast enough to create lift and neither is Yamato shaped in order to create lift.. However, this will give him speed. Using this speed the use pummels himself into the enemy ranks, most likely a larger group of enemies. The head on charge manifests itself into simply crashing into the enemies with limbs extended, punching left and right to get as many hits in as possible. Defense is NOT a part of Yamato's vocabulary. This can be easily protected against by, say, creating an obstacle like a doton-sphere to protect yourself/you friends (if you're friendly like that.) 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Backpack. Weapon, tool or object type: It's.. a backpack. Possibly filled with explosive tags. Description: It's a fucking explosive backpack bomb. Bag-o-bombs. EASY.
51,110	1,381	17	1,663	1,134	Yudai KageyamaAme - Suna - Konohagakure border, near the barrier. Things happened so quickly that Yudai had trouble keeping up with the events. What caught his attention however, was a red-clad figure that appeared momentarily in front of Yudai and the Lady-Commander, saying something Yudai couldn't hear clearly enough, before climbing the stairs in what seemed to be a red-flash. In this same pace, unconscious bodies began falling down, rolling lifelessly down the stairs as if their life had been simply taken from them without effort. That man, whoever and whatever he was - he had immense power beyond what Yudai had ever seen in his whole life. Yudai continued following both the Lady-Commander and the man, until she glanced back at him. In this very moment, he froze in place. He had became the center of her attention, and that caused a strange sensation with him, but she kept his cold demeanor in check, his eyes focusing briefly on the woman before he found the wall slightly more interesting than her huge... than her. “Uhh, nice work. Didn't know you could do that." The words hit him like a hammer hits a watermelon, causing internal explosions of confusion and absolute anxiety. Didn't she saw the man who did all this? Was he a ghost that only Yudai could see? Wait.. Maybe I did that all without noticing, am I an ancient god of sorts? His attention darted between a man with boots that looked as if they came from the future and the Lady-Commander's summon, which defeated a group of shinobi as if they were nothing. Perhaps his choice of following the Lady Commander had been the best one after all, he felt basically safe. Until a kunai passed centimeters away from his head, grazing the skin on his cheek. He felt the warm blood dripping on his left cheek and damn, he was lucky that the shinobi who threw it wasn't any more precise than that. Immediately, the man came from seemingly nowhere, this time bringing a sword aimed at Yudai's back. It was the same shinobi he had avoided a few moments ago and he seemed pretty irritated. Swiftly, Yudai turned on his heels, clasping arms together as if swinging a baseball bat; at least twenty spikes erupted from both of his arms, transforming his arms into a powerful spiked club that swung forcefully against the shinobi, knocking his blade aside and piercing his chest, left arm and, sadly, his left cheek as well. The shinobi's reckless petty attack was cut short, Yudai's eyes widened slightly at the drawn of his first blood. The spikes slowly dissipated and the bloody man felt down onto the stairs, rolling lifelessly down. There was some blood splattered on Yudai's shoulder, face and arms. He'd clean it after. Soon, they reached the top of the building. This time, the same man from before was there as well and the Lady-Commander adressed him, meaning that sadly, Yudai wasn't an ancient powerful shinobi that lost his memory, he just received praise that didn't belong to him. In this moment, he cleared his throat audibly to call their attention, speaking clearly. "Lady-commander, at the stairs - it wasn't me who did that with all the shinobi, I believe it was him." As much as being praised was a nice thing, there was no reason to take praise which belonged to someone else. After all, all that did was making the woman raise her expectations when it came to Yudai, given she ordered him to get rid of the barrier - something that powerful man had just attempted to do without success. If he couldn't do it, how the hell was Yudai supposed to? An order was an order though, and he'd at least try. Doton: Moguragakure no Jutsu, the thought came to mind as Yudai slowly began to descend onto the ground - the earth itself becoming fine sand and allowing Yudai to did through it basically like a mole. Once completely disappeared from sight, he'd attempt to pass under the barrier and reappear at the other side. He believed that whoever held it, was likely inside the barrier. UchihaAme- Suna - Konohagakure border, at the festival's grounds. Kaori's decision to attend to the festival came from her own desire to distract herself from intense training. And well, to comemorate, too, because why not? Look at that huge pupkin from the konohagakure farmer! Another victory, yey. The Uchiha walked through the festival with a rather wide smile, her hands always clasped together behind her. Truth be told, being a Confederate had it's good times, such as right now. She might've been ordered to guard the place together with many other shinobi, but that didn't mean they couldn't enjoy themselves while at it. She missed her brother's presence, but he was always too occupied for trivial things like this; his words echoed in her mind. You should try to go without that sword, you know. It's looking almost as if it's part of you. The thought made her grin childishly as she ran a finger on Hinõken's hilt. Finally, she settled by resting her back against some crates, tilting her head up to look towards the sky. It was a good day, today. Not too warm, not too cold - a good climate, in general. Everything was going well, until a strange thing ascended onto the sky, before exploding into... a flare. A flare?! Explosions erupted from many places at once and chaos ensued in mere moments, panic spreading like a plague through all the civilians. Kaori's wide smile was taken away in the same pace, disappearing and being replaced by a serious expression, especially when she saw a shinobi with a red-armband cut through a man who wasn't even a shinobi. "Those bastards!" This wasn't a playground where they could attack everything on sight, no life was meant to be expendable or taken lightly. In a moment, her black eyes blinked and when she reopened them, they changed, both eyes transformed onto the well known intimidating gaze of the sharingan; red, with three circular tomoes around the center. Hikõken moved out of it's sheathe on Kaori's left hip and into her right hand with a simple, nearly automatic movement, it's blade striking a shuriken aside that she had seen moments ago. A muscular, tall red-sage shinobi moved surprisingly fast towards Kaori, bringing a fist towards her - all the while a much shorter one, went for a stealth attack. Sad fools, a stealth attack on an Uchiha with a Sharingan won't work unless you're at least decent, something they certainly went. Kaori brought her right foot back, crouching slightly down, while the left foot positioned in front of her, she spun her body slightly to her right, to angle it, while her right hand brought the sword to the same level of her head and then, all of sudden and in a single movement, she spun completely while bringing her blade with her, sending the tip straight onto the large man's forehead, her left hand drawing a shuriken and tossing it towards him, he deflected it with ease, but seemed to think twice before engaging her. She was about to go after him. Then, a strange mist caught Kaori's attention. With her sharingan, she supposedly should've been able to see through it with ease - but something was wrong with this mist. Certainly, it was a technique - given how it confused her sharingan, by being coated in chakra. Kaori glanced briefly around herself as to ensure she wouldn't be surprised again, then began sprinting towards the mist. Well, if she couldn't see while outside, maybe she'd be able to when inside it. Once inside, that didn't help much - the chakra was dense and it worked as good as an average shinobi as it did on her, leaving her sight a blur. Occasionally, she could see some differently colored chakra moving inside the mist, but she lost trace of them quickly. As she made her way unknowingly onto the mist, she finally found something peculiar: A confederate shinobi's body with his head severed, and next to him, a flamboyant-looking red haired boy, obviously a red-sage. Kaori wasn't an experienced chunin, but she was trained enough to face every threat - and this boy was a threat, for he sided with the Red Sages. Thus, there was a Confederate shinobi's corpse, with his head and hand severed, standing somewhat close to him. She would ensure he ended up in the same manner. Without making her presence known, Kaori suddenly began sprinting towards him, her sword held in front of her. If one cared to notice, Hinõken's blade was turning slightly red. Once she was close enough to increase her own precision, she sent two shuriken flying towards him, just to draw his attention given that if he blocked them or otherwise, she was already close enough to attempt a slash aimed at his shoulder with her heated blade.	Nero's Compendium! "Pillars are what support a structure, but if one ever crumbles, all of them will fall.” Yudai is a tall and somewhat imposing young man, standing at 5'8" \| 1,78m. His physique appears to be lean, but on closer inspection one could notice that he's in fact fit, with subtle musculature definition everywhere on his body. His hair is a dark brown color and often unkempt, as if he didn't care at all about the way it looks - this is slightly contradicting to the fact that his ears are pierced, which possibly proves that the boy does cares about his appearance. His pale blue eyes constantly flicker from point to point, rarely focusing on something for too long - some note that he always looks distant, as if not paying any attention to his surroudings. The Kanji on his clothes are 影山 (Kageyama, his family name). Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Every aspect of Yudai, at least externally and from his appearance itself, seems distant. His gaze is a constant reminder of this, given the way it roams the whole time, briefly pausing on his surroundings before he takes interest in something else again. Even when Yudai is directly talking to someone, he avoids eye-contact entirely and if someone even tries to stare at him or look directly at his eyes for too long, he'll become rapidly nervous and anxious and might even avoid the person in question for a while. Otherwise, Yudai is relaxed, but extremely observant. His mind is constantly noticing what is actually happening around him and thus, while others might see him as distracted and distant, he's the opposite. He finds his own life rather boring the majority of time which prompts him to search for enthusiasm on other things out on the world. He's also easily interested in hearing stories from others, or even simply listening others talk about their own life. He has his own ambitions of becoming a highly respected political figure or leader, one day. But on the way the world is currently, he shoved such ambitions away and for now, he's only focused on strengthening himself. 【History】 Yudai's birth came from the love between Reiko and Kohaku - sadly, however, Reiko died due to complications at his birth. While the expected outcome was his father to put the blame on him and give Yudai the worst life ever, in order for this story to follow the traditional hero backstory guide, the opposite happened. Kohaku Kageyama was a hard-working man. He used to be a powerful shinobi many years ago, but lost his left eye and his right hand was completely destroyed in the same battle, thus leaving him unapt for battle for the rest of life. The loss of his wife could've disgraced his life forever, but instead, he found new hope on his newborn child, Yudai - the name 'Yudai' itself, was to show the man's hope of a hero, not for the nation, not for the world, but a hero that would save Kohaku himself from utter depression. Which Yudai indeed did. As any other child, he was very, very curious about everything and from the day he began learning his first words, he'd frequently ask his father about everything. Even about the eyepatch the man wore on his left eye, about the bandages around the man's right hand - and when the man began explaining about shinobi, about the wars.. Well, Yudai only became more interested in it altogether. Often, Yudai and Kohaku spent hours chatting about whatever, the subject leaped from how eggs were produced to why the sky was blue. As he matured, reaching the age of eleven, Yudai slowly began developing a strange desire to be someone who had a high position. Power. He wanted to be esteemed in a way that people would admire and respect because of his achievements in life. Of course, it was too soon to think about that, and Yudai was a mere child with an ambition bigger than himself. For now, the boy focused on studying and training. He had taken an immense interest in shinobi. In fact, he spent more time reading about chakra, taijutsu and ninjutsu than he spent studying the school's subjects, which was the reason he almost failed the year. His father aided him when he could, he gave his son clear training routines and made him follow them strictly. He felt immense pride in his son following the same steps as him, while the same time, was divided with the fear that he could end suffering the consequences of a war - like the man himself did. But, the thoughts that peace had finally settled in eased that fear. When Yudai graduated, at the age of 14, he knew exactly that his dream of becoming someone with high power was indeed his true ambition. You see, he received quite the praise for being a dedicated student - even if he almost failed in the past year, he dedicated himself the most to studying this one and got amazing grades, impressing his teachers and father. When they openly talked about him and his dedication, his heart pouded inside his chest with what he could only understand as recognition. Time eventually passed, Yudai grew into a fine - and very attractive - young man. He noticed that women around started to take interest in him, perhaps it was the pale blue eyes, but honestly, he didn't care all that much. Yudai did had quite a few cases with one or another girl here and there, but it never blossomed into a true relationship, he was that type of guy. In fact, the older Yudai got, the more he found his life... boring. It wasn't no one's fault, truly. It was just that his ambition - it was something that seemed far away from his reach, impossible - it was as if he could fight his whole life for it and yet, he'd never taste it. Finally, Yudai finished highschool. It was the same year that he also offically graduated to a chunin rank shinobi - and the year he finally took interest in his own life, even if only just a little. It all started with one group... the Red Sages. Initially, Yudai was very confused about his choices, when he heard about the group, many wrong ideas filled his mind. But, then, he shoved them away - for he knew in the end, that it was for his own best. You see, the Confederation might've been good for the countries, but it left no option for those who wanted to be something bigger or greater. They had nothing for those who wanted... recognition. In the opposite spectrum, the Red Sages were everything; he knew from the start that if he put his power, his will and his life onto it, like an investment, he'd receive what he wanted in return. He heard it - could be rumors indeed, but they were fulfilling rumors of rebels seeking something greater than an illusionary peace. 【Family ties】 Kageyama is an old and traditional family. The majority of it's members were shinobi, with exceptions. They are divided, with a minor part living in Iwagakure and a larger part living in Konohagakure. In Konohagakure, Kageyama were known for running a restaurant which goes by the name of Yama-Yama.

Not only that, he also dreams of becoming an extremely powerful shinobi, in order to ease his own path towards greatness. He fears of not being recognized, or being 'just someone else' - a faceless individual who has nothing, no respect, glory of power. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Yudai is balanced between taijutsu and ninjutsu, rarely resorting to weapons or ranged weapons. He's very intelligent and tactical in his decisions, as if he had read everything there was to read regarding shinobi (which he probably did in his early life). See, while he's quite strong in hand-to-hand combat, Yudai's first choice is to always analyze his opponent. He appears to be MUCH more experienced and prepared than he truly is due to the manner he keeps himself extremely calm, in any situation. To him, a battle is nothing too different from his daily struggle with life itself. Normally, his Doton ninjutsu is used as a defensive manner, instead of offensively. Thus, he'll always avoid ranged assaults with it. Sometimes, he'll use it offensively as nintaijutsu, but only if he finds a true opening to do so. What Yudai lacks is withstanding power. He might have defensive methods with Doton, but he can't take many hits - neither last too long in a battle. His stamina isn't the greatest, nor is his chakra pool; in most battles, he either needs to drop his foes quickly, or avoid in a way or another fighting after he begins tiring. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: N/A Description: Yudai does not possess a kekkei genkai. Strengths: N/A Weaknesses: N/A 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: -- B rank techniques: Doton - Doryūheki Doton - Iwayado Kuzushi C rank techniques: Doton - Moguragakure no Jutsu D-E rank techniques: Doton - Doryū Taiga Doton - Doryūdan Doton - Shinjū Zanshu no Jutsu 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Doton - Kotai no Hakai Rank: A Range: Short/Self - hand to hand range. Description: This powerful technique developed by Yudai himself allows him to concentrate his doton chakra onto his hands and arms, coating them with a solid earthly surface. This requires minor constante chakra usage, but it's not very taxing in the long run. What taxes Yudai's chakra sources, however, is the uses this 'chakra armor' has. When used offensively, Yudai can promptly force earthly spikes to surge from anywhere on his arms - fingers, hands, elbows, shoulders; thus, he make turn what would be an easily readed attack onto an unexpected one. Additionally, this also has defensive uses, meaning that when under assault, Yudai can place his arms together and create a defensive shield that protects him from assasults. This defense is powerful enough to withstand some ninjutsu (especially katon), but is ineffective against futon and raiton. The chakra coating can last for a long time if nor the offensive or defensive effects are used, but whenever Yudai chooses to use them, he'll be drained very quickly. Jutsu name: Doton - Jishin Rank: B Range: Long - a large circular area around Yudai (35m roughly) Description: Yudai does the following handseals: Bird, Dog, Ram, Rat. Then, he leans down and slams both of his hands at the ground, causing a large area around him to erupt onto a shattering earthquake, those standing around him will find it impossible to stand without falling - and falling, means taking huge damage as the doton chakra breaks the earth apart and makes them wildly throw about. The center, where Yudai stands, is completley unaffected. This technique might sound powerful and it indeed is, if used in the center of a village for example, he could likely destroy whole buildings easily --- but he'd be killed before major damage was caused, so this is just an example. Otherwise, agile shinobi who can leap and move far away from the area will easily avoid it. If Yudai is attacked or distracted, it will stop as well. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Can be a term, i.e 'kunai' or it can be a self given name, i.e 'Revered Razor'. Weapon, tool or object type: What type of weapon, tool or object is this? Sword, axe, kunai, knife, blade, tanto. Omit if the weapon, tool or object name already designates this. Description: Describe the weapon, tool or objects appearance, and describe it's potentials and weaknesses. tl;dr how powerful is it and what does it look like. Be reasonable. “I hate... ... No, seriously. I can't stand anything that tastes too sweet. It's.. uhng. Bad.” Kaori has an average height and weight, standing at 5'5" and 127lbs, she also has a slender figure with only slightly curves, though one might notice that she was rather wide hips - from likely training and improving her own body. Kaori has a round face, with large eyes, a delicate and small nose and thin lips. Her jet black hair falls well past her shoulders and is often groomed, kept well clean and it even smells nicely; though there are always a few wild strands here and there. She dresses rather simply, keeping a black and grey theme in her attire. She wears a high-collared black shirt, with a short grey jacket with the Uchiha's clan symbol on it's back, a pair of fingerless black gloves and black shorts, together with a pair of knee-high black boots with metallic platings on their nose.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Kaori is usually seen as a cheerful young girl who's still inexperienced to the world's hardships, but that's simply because of her manner of expressing herself; she's kind, even gentle to certain extent and isn't fond of conflicts, always preferring peaceful manners unless using force is an absolute must. That's not to say she's scared of fighting though, Kaori simply adores friendly spars and testing her own abilities- otherwise, she wouldn't ever take training as serious as she does. Despite her cheerful nature, Kaori is not exactly a social butterfly. See, she believes that being positive and keeping her spirit high is helpful to herself and to others in a way. However, it's very rare for Kaori to approach someone and talk openly, rather, she's quite timid and avoids talking unless she's talked to first and usually, being talked to makes her very happy. When it comes to her clan, the Uchiha, Kaori takes high pride in them. In fact, she believes herself superior but doesn't voices it - unless she gets too excited in a battle, to notice. She views the Sharingan as a gift, but only uses it in battle when she clearly needs it, given she has this slight fear of overusing or overshowing her doujutsu, especially in consideration with the events of the past that has led others to develop a distrust towards the sharingan. This same distrust, is what makes Kaori very cautious about talking to strangers, after all, there is still some prejudice against the sharingan specifically, given the events of the past, given the way things are - given the Confederation's actions against some of Kaori's brethren. Lastly, Kaori is very comprehensible and whenever she relates to someone, she tends to become very interested in developing a friendship. She has no interest in any sort of romantic interaction, after all, she's pretty sure she's not the one to gather that sort of interest, anyway. 【History】 Kaori's early life has been quite different than the usual. See, both her mother and her father are shinobi - both also very strict in the sense of pointing Kaori in the same direction as them: Which meant she was trained from the day she could walk. Kaori had two siblings, both boys, one older by a few years and the other, two years older than her. Their names were Kichirou and Keiji, respectively. Kichirou was an arrogant man, see, he had the Sharingan and that very motive led him to be, simply put, an asshole towards mostly everyone. Filled with pride beyond limit, he thought of himself as utterly superior - being a prodigy didn't help. Kichirou was way above the average when it came to shinobi, with only eleven years, he achieved the feat of developing a second chakra nature which was the reason he was then hailed as a genius. Kaori was only six when this happened, while Keiji was eight - he had just entered school. Usually, both trained together but Keiji was too focused at school, he had a peculiar desire of being an inventor or scientist - Kaori could never understand clearly - that draws him away from the training fields. This was frowned upon by her parents, more specifically her father. The man had this strange... desire to blindly follow the Confederation, claiming that the Uchiha had to be a strong clan in order to prove and... redeem themselves. Kaori would only understand that years later. On a cold night, a few days before Kaori's 7th birthday, a scene marked her forever. Through her window, she saw both her father and Keiji outside, having what seemed to be a small discussion. The boy held some books under his arms and was apparently refusing a 'gift' that Kaori's father was offering him - a katana. From the little Kaori could understand, Keiji tried to explain to their father that he wasn't interested in becoming a shinobi and that he believed there were other ways to help and be useful; in the end, all she could remember was Keiji being severely beaten by their own father while all she could do was watching. This forever changed the way she saw her father. War changes someone, truly. That was what had happened with Kaori's father, he was changed, molded by war. Perhaps he believed that it would happen again and wanted his offsprings to be prepared, perhaps it was something else, perhaps he was simply put, insane. Kaori never quite understand his fixation with training and becoming stronger, but what she could understand is that her oldest brother wasn't the only gifted Uchiha of this family, for that night, Kaori's anger and fear evoked a power hidden within her; she awakened her Sharingan. However, she never told her father. Instead, that motivated her to train more. It wasn't to please the man, no, it was to fulfill herself. Her older brother could be as arrogant as she wanted, but Keiji was always there for her, and she, for him. The boy returned to train with Kaori and for the first time in all these eleven years, she had beaten him - and very easily, too. The excitement and buildup of this whole spar awarded Kaori with a second tomoe in her left eye and brought immense surprise to Keiji, but he promised to never tell anyone. During school, all Kaori thought was when it'd end so she could return to her training; she wasn't a bright student, honestly, but Keiji who was seriously smart helped her a lot. When she was close to turning 12, her oldest brother was found dead within the village's borders. This utterly crushed the family, but specifically, Kaori's father entered a state of depression. He treated the whole family as if it was their fault and practically locked himself in his room for a whole year, very rarely getting out. During this time, Kaori had improved a lot. By now, she had developed three tomoes on her left eye, and two on her right eye. Her reaction time, reflexes and precision had seen a jump, and so had her genjutsu and ninjutsu. Her mother, a genjutsu specialist, taught her a few things which aided her. Keiji had been awarded a prize of best student of the year or something akin to that which Kaori never knew roughly in the same date Kaori's sharingan fully matured. The following years went by swiftly, Kaori trained and improved, developing jutsu of her own - while her older brother started working as a project analyst or something of the sort, within the Confederate. She received a pleasant gift from him on her sixteen birthday: A sword, Keiji guaranteed her that this prototype was much more resistant and that wouldn't break or melt easily as the many other swords Kaori had destroyed until now. He also mentioned that the sword was specifically made to withstand katon chakra - and lastly, he made Kaori an offer. To join the Confederate, given her potential as a shinobi. She thought for a while, truth be spoken she was quite afraid of becoming as crazy as her father, but the girl ended up giving a wild smile and agreeing with him. 【Family ties】 As an Uchiha, Kaori'll have ties with mostly any Uchiha, period. But they're all pretty vague apart from her own family itself. Takeshi Uchiha \| Father \| 53, Konohagakure, ex-Veteran, temporarily retired-confederate jounin Takeshi retired due to his trauma after his older son's death, he has yet to recover. Michiko Uchiha \| Mother \| 44, Konohagakure, shinobi - genjutsu specialist Kichirou Uchiha \| Brother \| 26, Konohagakure, deceased Keiji Uchiha \| Middle-Brother \| 18, Konohagakure, confederate project analyst 【Dreams and fears】 Kaori has yet to find true dreams and ambitions to follow. She's young and still looking for something to, well, follow. Maybe an ideal. Honestly, her fears are very vague, as well. She partially fears her own father, but her biggest fear is losing her brother Keiji, who has been the closest person to her since ever. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Kaori focuses on using Fire Release to dispel of her foes, burning them down, together with very efficient genjutsu provided by her Sharingan. She's experienced in hand to hand, but it's easy to tell her taijutsu is her weaker side - even with the added aid from the Sharingan abilities provide her. While Taijutsu is a weak spot, her Kenjutsu is noticeably better, as her movements with a sword are clearly trained and precise, especially given she can use her blade together with fire release in order to increase it's efficiency. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Sharingan Description: The Sharingan (写輪眼, Literally meaning: Copy Wheel Eye, Meaning (Viz): Mirror Wheel Eye) is the dōjutsu kekkei genkai of the Uchiha clan that appears selectively among its members. It is regarded as one of the Three Great Dōjutsu (三大瞳術, San Daidōjutsu, Literally meaning: Three Great Eye Techniques), the others being the Byakugan and the Rinnegan. Strengths: Kaori's Sharingan is fully matured, meaning that it has three tomoes on each eye. This means that when active, Kaori is granted both abilities; the Eye of Insight, giving her the ability to see chakra in different colors in order to distinguish composition and source, an incredibly clarity of perception, meaning that she can see even very fast attacks with some ease and she's capable of minimum predictive abilities, anticipating an opponent's next move or attack and lastly, copy jutsu - but only those she has the ability and knowledge to replicate. Secondly, she's granted the "Eye of Hypnotism", which means Kaori can perform what is generically called Genjutsu: Sharingan. While there are various manifestations and purposes of the ability, the better known one is to, through eye contact, suggest thoughts and actions to a target, coercing them to divulge information or act in a particular way, potentially without the target's awareness. In extreme cases, the Sharingan user can take complete control of the target's body, forcing them to do exactly as the controller wishes; this control is visually indicated by the Sharingan's design appearing in the target's eye. Kaori's ability with this is actually pretty good, a momentarily eye-contact with her Sharingan active is enough to put her opponent in a dangerous genjutsu. Weaknesses: The Sharingan is a worldly known Dojutsu, thus, everyone should be able to recognize it instantly. This makes the Genjutsu very hard to apply, as all the opponent needs to do, is avoid eye-contact. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: N/A B rank techniques: Katon: Gōka Mekkyaku Katon: Haisekishō C rank techniques: Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu D-E rank techniques: Genjutsu: Sharingan While Kaori is skilled to certain extent, she has yet to achieve a grand power-level with genjutsu used through her sharingan. In a brief eye contact, she can merely put her opponent(s) in a simpler genjutsu, that requires little to no effort to break them (if they know how to do so). If there is prolonged eye contact however, she'll be able to cast greater genjutsu. 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Ken Katai (Fire Sword) Rank: C~A Range: Self / Sword's Range Description: Kaori flows an intense blazing chakra through her sword's blade, coating the whole blade with it. The more chakra she uses, the more noticeable it gets given the sword's blade begins turning a slight shade of red - until reaching the maximum, a deep crimson color. The amount of chakra also changes the effects and their strength. If Kaori only uses a minor amount of chakra (C rank), the blade's cutting power increases slightly, the heat makes leave dents whenever it strikes another simple sword or iron object, if in contact with skin, it burn while it cuts. If moderate chakra is applied (B rank) her sword becomes denser and can cut through other swords of average material with some force applied. If it cuts, it will instantly seal the wound - preventing blood, but causing immense pain. With the maximum Kaori can achieve (A rank), the sword's heat raises it's potency to where it could easily cut through iron and even steel, as well as bones with ease. This technique, if applied on an average sword, would only last a few seconds at maximum potency due to how the chakra would also melt the blade it was applied to, itself, but Kaori can keep this technique up for as long as her chakra allows due to her own blade, which would be two to three hours with C rank, one to two hours at B rank, and only two minutes when it achieves the maximum heat (2~3 posts, depending on the time ICly). Jutsu name: Genjutsu: Burning Hell Rank: B Range: Medium Description: Kaori does the required handseals (Tiger, boar, dragon) while she takes a deep breath, then, she exhales the air in the form of a strange smoke that will divide and proceed to form a circle around a small area, before igniting ablaze. This fire, by itself, is harmless. However, if an enemy feels the fire's heat, they'll slowly fall onto a genjutsu prepared by Kaori together with this technique. The heat will increase even if they move away from the flames and they'll eventually increase to the point where it's unbearable, the opponent might try to take their clothes off, throw water onto their body, drink water - no matter, it will never work and the heat will only increase, eventually they'll feel as if every drop of water in their body has been dried and pass out, if the genjutsu is not broken. 【Weaponry, tools and objects】 Weapon, tool or object name: Hinõken Weapon, tool or object type: A katana. Description: Hikoken looks like a simple katana, with a red, beautiful handle. The sword is of excellent craft and it's blade is chakra resistant, allowing the wielder to flow their chakra through it - the blade is specifically repective to katon chakra, which is the reason it was given to Kaori. “Let's end this quickly.” As usual to Uzumaki, Naomi's hair is a crimson red, it's short - with two bangs framing her face and the back is spiky, styled per her own taste. She wears simple silver earrings on each ear and a thin black eyeliner, meaning that she seemingly cares about her outward appearance. Her eyes are a vivid green, intense and large, usually her most prominent trait when one looks directly at her face. She's always wearing a scarf around her neck, the color varies but she usually sports a mix of red, green, yellow and dark orange scarves. Naomi wears a sleeveless dark gray jacket with a simple light gray blouse underneath, a pair of red fingerless gloves that reach her elbows (the seals of her Kuchiyose: Raikō Kenka are placed on the gloves) and slate gray tight pants that are tucked onto a pair of black boots. Notably, the only visible color on the woman's figure is her scarf and her hair. Her figure is slender yet curvaceous, with notable curves adorning her body. Some satchels are seen; one wrapped around her left thigh, another on her right shoulder and a larger one on the right side of her waist. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Naomi is usually seen as arrogant and stuck up due to her cold demeanor and for being otherwise cool-headed. Thing is, she's not arrogant or stuck up, she simply takes being a shinobi as her life, in and out of a mission or task; she's focused, always, and eliminates any emotion that could possibly disrupt her performance. Considered cruel by those who are more sensitive than her, Naomi takes the death of comrades lightly, analyzing it often with 'the enemy was a better shinobi than him/her', this is not entirely true though, Naomi feels the death of a comrade as anyone else capable of feeling would, she just keeps her suffering to herself and hides it entirely. Being so cold and closed off emotionally, it's hard to befriend anyone - not that she wants to, anyway. Naomi doesn't cares about forming bonds with others, surely there has been an increasing trend of forming bonds within the younger shinobi, but she denies them completely. She also doesn't care about hostility, insults or whatever else, she ignores them completely and even when provoked, she keeps the same stoic expression she always has. In battle is where her emotions flow with intensity above her usual: The adrenaline makes so whenever she's hit, she'll smirk or grin smugly, whenever she hits something, you'll see the same smirk but much broader than before. The more fast paced a battle is, the more she'll enjoy it thoroughly and the more she'll dedicate to the fight. Still, it's very rare for her to exchange words with the opposing shinobi, given her self-control that's dominant even above the adrenaline. Talk about dedication, Naomi is very dedicated to her job as a shinobi - and well, to everything else. As one of her philosophies in life, which is to do everything you do the best way you can, she truly dedicates herself entirely whenever she needs to do something and despises those who's nature is being lazy and avoid hard-work. She also tends to despise those who are gifted with power that requires no true work whatsoever; an example would be those who possess the well known dojutsu (Sharingan or Byakugan). This is a bit hypocritical given she's gifted with the Uzumaki's clan natural strong lifeforce and chakra resources. She sympatizes the most with individuals who are similarly hard-working and dedicate themselves in something and may be willing to interact with them, but forming any close bond is practically impossible as of now. Commonly, Naomi spends a good portion of her day training and improving herself. Distracting her from that usually ends with a huff or a sigh, or any minor sign of annoyance that she'll allow herself to do. Still, she won't scold anyone over anything, ever - she's calm and collected, after all, not arrogant and stuck up. She's actually pretty fine with aiding others if they need so (with training or whatever else), even. She may be a bit self-centered and cold, emotionally, but she's not a psycho who's only emotion ever is adrenaline while fighting. To certain extent, Naomi is capable of being friendly, it all depends the mannerisms of whoever she talks or interacts with. Highly concerned with herself, Naomi fears death above everything else, despite her otherwise cold demeanor and the way she enjoys fighting. When an opponent is clearly overwhelming and above her skill level, she'll... fear them. Of course, trained to hide her emotions, she won't show it at all. This extends itself to allies, out of all the things she's ashamed about herself, the fact that she couldn't possibly put her life in risk in order to save another's is her 'biggest shame'. 【History】 Two Years ago. Naomi's eyes briefly flutter closed, reopening to look down at her extended right palm, a hitai-ate with Konohagakure's symbol resting over it, together with blood that was slowly being washed away by the rain. The girl looks up at the sky, raindrops mixing themselves with the tears that silently made their way down her cheeks. She closed her eyes again. Next to her, was a corpse - a female, with a pale white hair, she was clearly dead - with some blood under her, slowly mixing itself with the water from the intense rain. Suddenly, the kunoichi falls onto her knees, she's completely wet due to the rain at this point. Her palms rest against the ground, pressing the hitai-ate firmly against it. She sobs quietly, but only for a moment before taking a deep breath to recompose herself. "Is this what I'm fighting for? This is what the Confederation has to offer me? THIS IS PEACE?!" With her left hand, Naomi punches the ground with all the force she could muster in her current state. It does nothing. "That's the very least the Confederation will offer you, my dear." A mysterious voice. Masculine. Naomi instantly stood up and held a kunai up, looking around her in an attempt to find it's source. She couldn't see anyone, at all. "We, the Red Sages, we only retaliate against the Confederation's attempt to CRUSH us time and time again. We provoked a war, but only to reclaim what's rightfully ours." The voice, this time, was directly behind her. When she turned, ready to strike the kunai onto the man, he had already disappeared, or so it seemed. He was so fast, that she couldn't keep up with his movements despite how close he was. When she turned, he grabbed her wrist and twisted it back, forcing her to drop the kunai. At this moment, Naomi knew that whoever this man was, he was powerful. Her eyes widened and her breath fastened, she was fearing the outcome of this: Her death. "Do you realize? My only desire was to explain you why your friend lies dead at your feet. Why this system, this PEACE is nothing but a bold lie, explicitly shoved down the throats of all brain dead imbeciles that follow the confederation's tyranny out of nothing but FEAR." Suddenly, the man threw her hand back, grabbed her by both shoulders and shoved her down, forcefully throwing the girl onto the ground. As she looked up, directly into his eyes, he smirked. Those eyes... The Sharingan of the Uchiha, most certainly. And then, she feel in a genjutsu; not to torture, not to destroy her. It was a different genjutsu, that Naomi had never experienced. She was seeing through his eyes - it all, whenever it was a lie, it was vivid and felt real. It... was real. And she could hear his voice in the back of her mind, explaining in detail what she was seeing. The struggle and suffering you are seeing, it's product of the Confederation's corruption. Of it's failed systems, of it's members extravagance and luxurious life. While he explained, she saw it all. Robbers risking their life for a loaf of bread, farmers struggling with what little they had... Then, acts of tyranny; overwhelming attacks from masses of Confederation shinobi against small rebel camps and not only that, they attacked shinobi and average folks alike, even farmers that were simply next to the rebel's camps, all were destroyed, nearly instantly. Some rebels rushed to defend themselves, but were quickly put down; there was a prominent figure that stood out in the Confederate's forces, someone Naomi knew. Then, darkness. Everything became dark. (You may close the rainymood now, if you were so kind to keep it open in order to increase immersion) When she woke up, she was in a crude basement of sorts. Crude, but functional. Many red-sage shinobi moved from a place to another, some carried wooden crates, others were simply chatting about. When she sat up, she was approached by the same figure as before: he looked far less intimidating. There was some movement, people stood up and moved away - soon, she was left alone with him. And then, the offer was made; to join them, or be set free. Strange, weren't they carnage-seeking devils? The man naturally explained their whole cause. In the end, after everything she had seen through the previous genjutsu, she couldn't refuse. Someone had to stop the Confederation. At first, it was difficult taking such an enormous step that changed completely her life - and the majority of the red sages distrusted her presence as a whole, being previously sided with the Confederation. But, on her first missions, minor or not, as a red sage, she showed that she had indeed placed her loyalty with them. After being showed the truth through such a brutal manner, it was difficult not to. As a side note, this is only the chapter which explains how Naomi switched sides. She's currently secretive about being a part of the Red Sages, nonetheless. 【Family ties】 Naomi's family was healthy until the death of her mother, which threw her father in an enraged state; he then became increasingly harder to deal with. The man took his own life when Naomi was seven, that changed her forever. Aika Uzumaki \| Mother \| 39, Konohagakure, deceased at the age of 26 Itama Uzumaki \| Father \| 42, Konohagakure, took his own life at the age of 30 【Dreams and fears】 Naomi dreams of one day overcoming her biggest fear, which is dying currently and she wants to find a way to stop feeling fear as a whole, knowing that such emotion is a result of cowardness. Note that overcoming death is not, well, dying. She just knows that clinging so much to her own life as a shinobi is rather embarassing. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 With an enhanced life-force and vast chakra resource, Naomi is certainly not above keeping a constant offensive on her foes, only falling defensive if she's overwhelmed or outnumbered. Her speed, agility, flexibility and reflexes are impressive. She has trained herself to have some great precision with her attacks, as well. From a medium distance, she's dangerous due to her shurikenjutsu prowess and in close-combat, she's a force to be reckoned with. Long distance, she falls short due to the drop in effectiveness of her shurikenjutsu. She also lacks effective defensive mechanisms, relying on dodging and avoiding being hit to keep herself safe. Her endurance is solid, as any Uzumaki - so is her stamina. In drawn out fights against opponents of the same level as her, she might have advantage due to taking much longer to get tired. Due to her chakra being vast, she's capable of utilizing the Shadow Clone technique, often gaining an advantage on single fights. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu B rank techniques: Kage Bunshin no Jutsu Kuchiyose: Raikō Kenka C rank techniques: Kuchiyose no Jutsu D-E rank techniques: Kaifū no Jutsu Kawarimi no Jutsu Shunshin no Jutsu 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Raiton: Kaminari Yoroi (Lightning Release: Thunder Armor) Rank: B Range: Self Description: Naomi covers her body is lightning chakra, using the lightning to stimulate the her nervous system. By speeding up her neural synapses, she's able to react faster, and to push physical prowess to the absolute limit, allowing for tremendous raw speed. This, combined with Naomi's natural agility and reflexes, turns her into a fearsome opponent while active; it also enhances her lightning release techniques, allowing her to perform nintaijutsu moves and react to things that she otherwise wouldn't be able to. The chakra usage is not as intense as it looks on Naomi, given her vast chakra resources, meaning that she can keep this technique up for long periods of time. Wind techniques can shut the technique down, even if temporarily. This techniques does not increase Naomi's raw strength, only her speed and reflexes. Jutsu name: Raiton: Keikai Denka (Lightning Release: Nimble Charge) Rank: C Range: Close Description: Lightning Chakra is focused on Naomi's arms and shoulders, she'll dash recklessly towards a foe with immense speed produced by the previously activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode and attempt to slam them with her shoulder. This attack is simple all in all, but it's effective given the speed Naomi travels from her current position to her foes' position. If it hits, the opponent takes both taijutsu damage and the electricity might shock them for extra, yet minor damage. It may also cause minor damage to Naomi's shoulder, too. Jutsu name: Raiton: Kaminari Shuriken (Lightning Release: Lightning Shuriken) Rank: C Range: Medium, long with less effectiveness Description: Naomi produces three handseals (boar, dragon, snake) before taking a number of shuriken onto her hands and channeling lightning chakra through them, after she throws they'll gain speed and piercing power, able to break through minor earth release defenses. If they hit someone, the opponent'll receive a much deeper wound than they would to an average shuriken, and electricity will shock their body internally, causing weaker shinobi to fall unconscious if they're hit by more than five or so. Stronger nin could easily resist this, though. Jutsu name: Raiton: Kiyomemasu (Lightning Release: Cleanse) Rank: E Range: Self Description: A simple technique that functions with the same intent as the use of Kai to liberate yourself from a genjutsu. The difference is that if Naomi notices herelf under a genjutsu, she can simply do a single handed seal, producing lightning chakra of her own that enters her body and, if need be, even travels to her brain's vessel network and eliminates any foreign chakra that is trapping her under a genjutsu. The difference between this and the average method of leaving genjutsu, is that this technique acts faster and only a single hand is needed, if she's paralysed or restrained. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Many, many shuriken. Weapon, tool or object type: Shuriken Description: They are shuriken, sealed and ready to use in a random basement. They're likely summoned when she touches her wrists, the end. Weapon, tool or object name: Some kunai. Weapon, tool or object type: A kunai. Description: Usually kept in the pouches she carries with herself. Useful kunai. Weapon, tool or object name: Explosive Tags Weapon, tool or object type: An explosive tag. Description: They're explosive tags, but she only carries a small number of them to avoid accidents. Kept in a pouch on her shoulder. Weapon, tool or object name: Wire strings Weapon, tool or object type: Wire. Strings. Description: Usually used in conjuction with shuriken for unpredictable effects.
51,111	1,381	18	2,089	1,979	Arima Shuu - Tametomo Ame - Suna - Konoha Border, Harvest Festival The shinobi guarding the bigshot politician were closing in on Arima as the young Tametomo attempted to close the gap between him and the older man. They all wielded different weapons and some even covered his weaker angles. At this point Arima didn't think much, he just rushed with little strategy in his mind, almost submerged by fear of what these people were going to do to him and the big possibility that he'd be unable to react to it properly. He was sweating and his heart beats were ripping apart his chest muscles. But as luck would have it, his prayers would be answered. Neki showed itself, and its imposingly massive body would dispose of the fodder guards rather quickly. The silly beast would propose something while Arima would, despite losing all his composure, effortlessly deliver a downward kick on the politician's right knee, disabling then man by practically shattering the bones in the man's leg. "Huff huff Thanks Neki ... Damn, yeah take him, Seijou wanted one of these alive." He tried to regain his breath. He wasn't tired or anything, but he got overly anxious when surrounded by hostiles. It was obvious, Arima was afraid to die, and even more so by a random bunch of Confederates at the very start of a decisive battle. But with this stroke of luck and one of the biggest objectives of the raid complete, he regained some confidence. He actually did something of grand importance to this mission, even if it required some big lizard's help. Letting Neki do his thing, Arima stood on one knee to avoid any stray kunai or some people taking too much interest in him. Many of the lower level shinobi were quickly deterred by the humongous reptile nearby. In turn, Arima would be completely discouraged from jumping into a fight where many of his colleagues were caught in. From the little he had seen, it was the faggot and the water lad from his camp that though at least three people, with one being cloned to the max. The error his team made was to erect that mist, making Arima a little too inaccurate to be of any use. As such, he looked around until his eyes would meet a female redhead's. Along with her would be some edgy, dark-looking Confederate guy. That woman had such a familiar air to her being in which he couldn't exactly pinpoint. Has he met her somewhere before? In any case, she had his attention. Considering the two death comrades of his right next to them and the fact that the dark lad seemed to gesture a set of soldier-like grunt things to stop, they seemed like sufficiently threatening enough to engage right away. After all, another grand objective was to keep the higher level shinobi from acting as reinforcements to the raid in the compound. "Neki, the big guys. See them?" Arima pointed at the bizarre constructs forming a defensive wall to defend civilians apparently. They were not normal, likely part of a jutsu, and given how they behaved, they belonged to that guy. As such, crippling some of his defenses would always be plus. Arima gestured the lizard to simply attack them, at served as a distraction while the young Tametomo would engage the hostiles. Arima would make sure he had the attention of girl in particular, the eyes of his mask glaring directly at her. He would simply reach into the pouch behind him with both his hands, though he could have done that with only one, he employed both so he could form the Shadow clone hand seal undetected, though he'd only form a shuriken as a result. Indeed, the clone he had summoned had be subjected to a transformation jutsu, taking the form of a shuriken among seven others, four on each hand. All were real except one on his right hand. And with one swift movement, he'd throw all the shuriken simultaneously at the two people he'd be targeting. Evidently enough, four real shuriken from the left hand were heading toward Masato while the four others, including the fake one, toward Noriko. Because they were light, they were also rather quick, making it a somewhat efficient opening move. They could block them or even destroy, it didn't matter, because the clone turned shuriken would revert to its original form just a few inches before being in striking distance of her sword, in position to deliver a forward surprise kick right at the kisser while using the momentum gained as a shuriken to charge at her. Like the real deal, the boots were coated in an electrical aura that could easily block other weaponry while delivering electrical shocks with every strike. Now that he had their attention, and hopefully the advantage if the clone were to do anything efficiently, he'd get into position, observing any possible opening. He had a boost of confidence for now, but it would take a strong counterattack from the enemy to completely drown it.	Spode's Magical Character Emporium of Wonders V.2! DLC pack Coming soon. Buy Season Pass Now! “I'm gon' fuck me some motherfuckers.” 1m75 - 72 KG At first glance, it is almost impossible to not have any preconception regarding Yakoul's normal appearance, an issue that costed the lives of many. Yakoul looks like the typical cat-human people see in various media and have bizarre fantasies about, though the reasons behind its current for are a lot less fantastic. Everyone notices the white cat ears and the long tail, which various in size for no apparent reason, and would usually dumb it down as 'too cute to be threatening'. That's until they see its teeth. Otherwise it can also alternate its cat pupils, usually forming them when in combat. They're orange regardless of the form. Now that the kitty aspects are out, the next issue is ... Well the rest. Its silhouette is completely androgynous. Somewhat curvy bottom part but facial traits that look more like a young male teen's than a female's. Its chest appears to look more like pectoral muscles than breasts. The hair style doesn't help either, being short and curly/messy. Its gender will always remain a dark enigma those in the Confederation hope to crack some day. Or not. Freaks. In terms of attire, it wields a navy blue, long sleeved shirt with golden buttons in the center. An orange pair of shorts to keep its legs warm along with long, same colored socks that nearly reach the knees. It does not wear sandals, ever, but a pair of navy blue shoes it can easily slide on its feet without having to deal with laces or velcro. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Yakoul earned the title of War hero and trump card of the Confederation's army 11 years ago because of its genius regarding the Art of War and overall capabilities in the field. A lot of it is true, as Yakoul has never backed down from a fight (doesn't mean it never lost), winning against any type of individual conceivable, whether they are intelligent, dumb, strong or frail, it always found a way. This much praise made it a main figure to the Confederation's political and social life, despite all of it being based on prestige told by the Confederation itself. Many know of how ruthless Yakoul is, breaking the 'cute cat' image it once had, but the details remain rather vague and exclusive to inner circles. In truth, although it wields the willpower and charm of an extremely successful warlord, it is undeniably an unpredictable force of malice no one other than the top ruler of the Confederation has managed to tame. It holds the nickname of monster for a reason for anyone who has actively been an obstacle to the feline has lived the merciless and downright cruel fury of the beast. Only through tactical advantage does it show mercy, otherwise it has no qualms in exposing its perverted and sick mind to those it simply wants to rob something from. Ironically, apart from war, it is an individual completely absent of common sense. Mundane activities are engaged in the most eccentric and downright surreal fashion with this critter. Despite emitting one of the most foul presences in the entire world, it has a surprising way of illuminating rooms for people it shares a sense of camaraderie with to avoid getting bored. Indeed, it has a terribly thin attention span. Speaking of comrades actually, as monstrous as it may be, it built itself a rationale that gives actual human value to its close colleagues, only to use their deaths as a catalyst to fill itself with anger and many other emotions to slaughter superior enemies. Does it feel something when someone close dies? Sure, and it knows it, hence why it uses it. Keeping up with unpredictability, its behavior has been deemed so sporadic, it is impossible to truly form a friendship with it. Now the reason being that as much as it enjoys messing around when in free time or just during transition phases in a conflict, one thing will get it to laugh while another almost completely identical will earn the instigator an impromptu vasectomy. Needless to say, many have come and left Yakoul's squad not because of the intense battlefield, but by the insane moodswings. Did I mention its intuition? If it has a bad feeling about you, prepare to have a bad time. Needless to say, ti remains a really good judge of character, as would be any leader. This deserves the final paragraph and serves as a warning to everyone. Profanity is its mother tongue and has a very horrible accent when speaking. In most sentences, it will enter a pointless swear, and this increases depending on how passionate it gets. Add to that a shamelessly crude attitude and we have the most foul individual in the Confederation as one would expect. It doesn't always insert swear words, but they seem to illustrate quite well what its intentions are most of the time. 【History】 Yakoul has lived far longer than most people on this earth, all thanks to the inherited powers of its supposed 'cursed' clan. It didn't feel all that bad to it, quite the contrary, it got eternal life all to itself. The feline essentially saw history happen before it, not that it did much to actually archive it or even remember, it was just there, existing and eating whatever it attacked in a village, whether it be livestock, pet or people. Like many of its clan, it terrified the populace because of its jumps of rage and general disregard for their lives. Yeah no, Yakoul isn't this dual-personality type. It always lived as if its surges of violence were just it being in a bad mood rather than lack of control. Decades went on and it would only be when encountering a group a very strange looking individuals, nothing like those annoying shinobi that were sometimes a little too hard to kill. They were strong, but also quite tasty looking, and Yakoul liked that a lot. Wanting a piece of these people, its blood would quickly be rust to the blades of the leader's right hand. The animal didn't beg for mercy, but rather stared at the dominant being of the group, fantasizing on how it would have been great to have that body all to itself in its cavern. It was not because of its potential that it was spared, however, but because of its amusing appearance. The monster that would eventually be one of the pivotal figures in the war was recruited for looking somewhat like a cat. Well, "recruited", it served as decor for the leader's luxurious tastes. It wouldn't be until the first days of war that Yakoul would prove its worth as more than just a soldier. At first, it was simply sent on small missions due to its enhanced senses and general aggressiveness toward foes. It didn't mind, it had free food and could rip anything to shreds when asked. Doing dirty work was just a small repayment. Its talents as a war leader flourished when confronted to its first ambush. Somewhat devoid of extreme intelligence, it mixed what it learned through living so long and instinct to divide strategies to minimize losses. Though this time it was actual comrades and not food something it would protect in some cave or stolen house. Few casualties and a need to make a profanity filled speech to pump its men, Yakoul was given the title of General. Why? Because the leader could, not that it really earned it or anything. It just made its superior happy and proved its worth. Many events during the war were under its leadership, and generally it kept the upper hand and quickly understood the art of war. One could say it was more or less its destiny to hold such a position as it lived in relatively poor countries where small conflicts were rampant and only through strategy was survival possible. What would mark Yakoul as a war hero would be how it led its men to the doors of Konoha and in three days time, murdered with its bare hands the leader of the 11th Corp, the equivalent of Root at the time. Fujitora Choko was killed, and Ayame Choko, the Hokage, would have the same visit by Yakoul. Many speculate that Ayame was never there to begin with, but soldiers attest that Yakoul had killed her as well. Of course, victors are the ones who write history, so even knows if this whole damn history section is legit and not me making a BS Shyamalan on you? Thought so. After the war, Yakoul's been ... Quiet. Simply because the Red Sages have been too sporadic for it to actually care enough. It is mostly seen in public events with its master or simply to keep itself entertained. 【Family ties】 It doesn't have any known relatives. Unless you count every stray cat in the world. The Great President \| Master and Pet \| N/A - Amegakure Capital 【Dreams and fears】 Yakoul dreams to simply do whatever it wants the next day. As of now, it fights for its master in a more zealous manner than anything. But if its superior were to die, it could very well change its passion on a whim. As of now, it simply wanted to endlessly fight the rebels, over and over, and hopefully even die a horrible death at their hands. Not that it actively tries to die, it's simply a fantasy. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Swift and deadly. Yakoul's fight have often been rather quick, or at least when it decides to go on the offensive anyway. Most of the time it falls on taunts and easily evades and/or blocks strikes it can see coming beforehand. Easily finding the flaws in the techniques employed by the opposition, when confident enough it can end it, Yakoul will strike where it hurts the most. This of course depends on the caliber of the opponent, as those who prove to be a lot more keen on their moves will force the beast to actually prod something out of them with actual violence. When in its lethal mindset, it greatly utilizes its strong tail as a third member to gain an easy advantage on the enemy, as well as keep many of its abilities a 'surprise' for the enemy to discover. Because of this, it prioritizes close quarters combat 3/4 times, especially considering its Jutsu pool. The issue with it fighting longer and longer, however, is that it slowly loses patience and lets its more berserk state take hold, pushing Yakoul to lose a decent thought process out of anger and sheer brutality. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Juugo's Clan Kekkei Genkai Description: Many consider this Kekkei Genkai as the cheap counterpart of the Sage mode. Yakoul would of course strongly disagree. To start off with the basics, this KG enables the wielder to passively absorb Senjutsu Chakra (Natural Energy) all the time, leaving it with some pretty gargantuan chakra pools. The effects can often be dumbed down to bursts of anger and berserk states, but Yakoul has since grown accustomed to it. However, bien exposed to it for so long, it has developed animal-like traits similar to beings untrained in Sage Art that have absorbed too much Senjutsu chakra. In this case, it acquired feline traits. It is also the cause of Yakoul's massive longevity and seemingly eternal youth. Because it is mostly under control, Yakoul can freely manipulate its own body and expose select parts to 'curse' with his Sage Transformation. Essentially, it can manipulate the form of its body, sprout wings or grow axe blades on its forearms. The possibilities are massive, as long as they aren't too exaggerated. Chakra cannons are also a dominant trait in the Sage Transformation. Generally users of this KG can tank massive blows that prowl through their flesh and pierce their members without an issue as seen when Juugo not only had a massive hole in his arm but also his chest and recovered without an issue. However the more this ability is used, the less coherent the thought process Yakoul's approaches will be. As much as it is used to it, it will eventually lose grip and wildly attack anything if battles push it too far. Withering down Yakoul's endurance makes it the best tactic to make it a lot more dangerous and violent, but also more predictable and easily deceived. Strengths: The KG offers overwhelmingly high amounts of chakra as well as access to natural energy. Naturally users have immense strength, which only increases when enhancing certain parts of their bodies (easily rivals CES). Resilience and a particularly versatile movepool are probably the biggest strengths in there. The added bulk of the sage transformation can be compensated with the chakra jets. Weaknesses: Surprisingly has few, but the lack of control through continuous use is rather exploitable. When transformed, whether it is berserk or not, the moves appear to be more predictable and easy to anticipate, in exchange for simply more destructive power. 【Ninja techniques】 S rank techniques: 1 Compulsory Subjugation A rank techniques: 3 My Favorite Cancer Perfect Symbiosis Enhanced Scales B rank techniques: 4 Super Mega Ultra Go to Hell Cannons Fire Cannon Dash Genjutsu: Cat and Mouse Suffocating Haze C rank techniques: 5 Up yours: Style One Swiisssshhhhh Shotgun Special Lil' Sluggers Regeneration Absorption D-E rank techniques: 3 Hiding in Surface Technique Overwhelming Killing Intent Yakoul's Juinjutsu 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: I'm just fucking better than you! (Also known as Compulsory Subjugation) Rank: S Range: 0 - 50m Description: As Yakoul's Trump card, Compulsory Subjugation is a tool it prefers to use in very specific scenarios and often saves it as a 'Grand Finale' for people like Souji Tametomo. It manifests itself in three tentacle-like appendages emerging from Yakoul's spine with only the tips being of a completely black color, the rest remaining beige/gray like the typical KG transformation. They all hold tremendous strength with the capability of slapping away boulders with one alone and they can strength up to 50 meters. Though as strong as they may be, they remain easy to cut like flesh and inflict gargantuan pain to Yakoul when cut, and even more when being reattached or regenerating, thus forcing its stamina to plummet. But its greatest strength doesn't lie there. The tips are where the ability shines. They are ridiculously sharp, but can still be blocked by robust defenses. Of course once they manage to actually inflict damage, here the fun begins. If one were to be simply scratched by the tentacle, they could have a small piece of Yakoul's flesh in them, not big enough to be game breaking, but enough to bond with their flesh and bone of the area. A large amount of pain occurs as the incompatible flesh acts like a cancer and forces the muscles to tense and twist on each other. If done on an arm or leg, the bones would easily snap and rend the member worthless but it would end there (except for the pain), while if on the body, the organs run the risk of being completely ripped to shreds. The solution is simple, stab the area that was cut, the bleeding will cause a lot of the Sage Transformation flesh to ooze out. The blood loss won't be enough to kill but will render largely ineffective. That's if they can close the wound. If the tentacle is stabbed, however. Everything changes. Large amounts of Yakoul's own flesh is injected in the body, ripping apart muscles and bones as they go, essentially making it a game over unless a third party severs the appendage before it can completely possess the body. Immediate medical treatment can held control this, though the victim is decommissioned. If Yakoul possesses the individual entirely and destroys them from the inside out, they will evidently die. But only to revive as a mindless beast under Yakoul's command, like a pet. They would be possessed by the Sage Transformation entirely, looking exactly like the second stage transformation. They can use the same abilities they once had, barring tactics. The only escape would be death, unless some miracle doctor finds a cure. cough Jutsu name: My Favorite Cancer Rank: A Range: N/A Description: Similar to the Fission Technique, the function is similar, however it is interconnected with the Sage Kekkei Genkai. Essentially Yakoul splits itself physically to produce two teen-like Yakoul. I can go up two four with small kid versions. They are generally physically weaker as they go along and divide, as well as simply having weaker abilities (And the S rank Technique sealed). However they are capable of gathering natural energy individually and slowly grow. When divided by two, about 5 posts are needed for both Yakoul to be fully grown, 8 (4 to be teen sized) for the smaller one. When destroyed, they turn into puddles of flesh that glues itself back into a fission clone, giving back the chakra. When split they can't have more chakra than the average individual unlike a full Yakoul who can have an overwhelmingly high surplus. After 5 posts where they're fully grown, they're forced back into one Yakoul as the technique expires. Jutsu name: Perfect Symbiosis, Bitch. Rank: A Range: 150 KM Description: One could call this an extremely advanced version of sensory, but it really is a mastery of Senjutsu chakra to the extent where someone incapable of being a Sage could master it. Yakoul becomes 'One' spiritually with nature, which is everywhere, making it almost completely undetectable by sensors. Its chakra can be seen by Sharingan, Rinnegan and Byakugan, but locating Yakoul is extremely difficult in long distances. The only exceptions are either Sages or those with this ability (or equivalent). But this also gives a tremendous advantage in sensory skills for Yakoul. When actively using this ability, its pupils dilate like a cat's as it uses natural energy as a powerful sensory ability for both extremely long ranges and close range. When going long range, it is mostly good for finding very specific chakra signatures and presences in remote areas as well a detecting who is in what area and how many beings there are there. When in close range, it can essentially take over for sight and sound as it gives a very precise input on what approches, what form it has and how fast it is moving. Its enhanced sense of smell and hearing usually compliment the job perfectly. Jutsu name: Awesome as shit Scales Rank: A Range: Personal Description: Developed after killing Fujitora Choko, Yakoul decided to innovate a bit defensively, and thus also evolve offensively, by taking elements from the Heavenly Blood. Here, it must use Sage Transformation before this becomes possible. Yakoul is capable of having 'scales' rapidly grow on affected parts of its body by concentrating both senjutsu chakra and stamina to make them steel-hard. Indeed, it affects both the physical and chakra state of the user, making it something that can't be entirely recovered by passive natural energy absorbing. These can easily block non-enhanced weapons and take multiple hits from those. It takes stronger Ninjutsu to break through. The seconde usage it has requires a lot less stamina, almost none, but it loses all of its value. Using a bit of wind chakra on its pores, Yakoul can simply fire these scales in large waves like large, diamond-shaped kunai in a direction it chooses without actually moving. Being made of chakra they have higher piercing capability, but they are somewhat slower and more predictable than the ninja tools. Their strength mostly lie on the being ejected from anywhere at anytime. Jutsu name: Fire Cannon Dash Rank: B Range: 30m - 100m Description: A simple technique that utilises both Fire release and the Juugo clan's cannons. In this technique they're generally on the back and the elbows and take en entire post to charge with heat. Yakoul can still do whatever during that post except for cannon usage, but the increase in energy is very apparent. In the next post it can choose to either keep the cannons red hot for up to three turns before releasing the technique, and during that wait it can use cannon abilities but with a 50% penalty in power. When it it used however, Yakoul can travel between 30m to 100m in speeds that rival even body flicker, all the while being in control of its body. However it can only travel in a straight line, making somewhat predictable the first go, but extremely lethal if not ready. Jutsu name: Genjutsu: Cat and Mouse Rank: B Range: Sight and Sound Description: Yakoul's only real Genjutsu other than the basic stuff, which uses both visual and sound queues to make it exceptionally difficult to pinpoint. Here it will sway its tail from left to right while applying it, those who simply look at Yakoul will see the tail move regardless if they focus on it. The Yin chakra already has its effect and simply needs an activation. The sound required is a simply crack of its jaw, something it does all too often in a fight, whether it applies it or not. Breaking free is the typical methods, but it doesn't make one immune to it. The effects are simple, once affected, the perception of the victim is severely flawed. They will feel as though they are seeing through the eyes of a mouse, or any small critter really and the whole environment, including Yakoul is giant. As such, all they would see would be a giant Yakoul attacking them, its massive movements easily covering their whole line of sight and making it horribly tedious to predict anything. Jutsu name: Suffocating Haze Rank: B Range: Description: Fusing Wind and Fire chakra, steam-like incense that covers a large amount of ground with Yakoul being the center of it all. When using this ability Yakoul cannot utilise its other cannon abilities. The effects are simple, it imposes a powerful heatwave in the whole field and a bit beyond really quickly with a slight haze to make visibility harder for others. Plants, even trees, die in the first seconds of the technique drying up almost anything, the insects follow shortly after and animals feel extremely dehydrated. Bigger summons also feel the huge toll as their big bodies are confiscated of a large amount of water, making them just as susceptible. Trained shinobi can withstand it easily, other lifeforms not so much. Water techniques suffer the most from it, bring mostly dried up and losing most of their strength. Lightning, because of wind chakra infused, become a little weaker but mostly inaccurate in both targeting and usage (chakra control is simply harder). Wind Techniques suffer a similar effect to Lightning, being eaten up by the fire aspect. Earth suffers more slowly, drying up and losing solidity eventually. Only Fire techniques are enhanced here to Yakoul's advantage. Lasts for five posts, cool down for five as well. Jutsu name: Shotgun Special Rank: C Range: Close, extends to about 10m Description: A wind based ability that is mostly non-lethal (unless you suck) which consists in releasing strong air pressure from the cannons protuding from Yakoul's body. The released pressure acts like a shotgun shell, extremely strong push back when in point black, but loses it strength as it goes along. The effect of distance really depends on the individual strength of each, but it's generally meant to keep people away in a pinch. Also useful to eject oneself really quickly into the air or to a direction. Jutsu name: Lil' Sluggers Rank: C Range: N/A Description: Yakoul uses a much weaker version of the Fission technique, letting a bit of its flesh drop on the ground and ignite thanks to fire chakra. It quickly hoards natural energy to grow into a child-sized humanoid golem, similar to Deidara's puppets, as they start charging in at whatever Yakoul wants gone. They can morph their limbs and bodies to an extent, forming blades and bizarre/flexible shapes. They're slow and somewhat predictable, but damaging them will result in more of them coming back. It is being completely destroying them into sufficiently small pierces that the flames covering them overpowers their regeneration and they just die. They're more of a very annoying distraction than anything. Jutsu name: Delicious Grub Rank: C Range: Close Description: This deserves some explaining. In a large battlefield full of NPC's, this technique essentially allows Yakoul to recover from non-fatal injuries easily as it barely requires any chakra and simply uses to heal its damaged body. So some specifications are needed. In order to fully absorb a body and heal major wounds it needs to be immobile for two posts, as in it can't move from that point, but can still use jutsu and so on to defend itself. Jutsu name: Overwhelming Killing Intent Rank: D Range: Up to 5 KM Description: Yakoul's aura is so foul and its chakra levels massive enough to have nearby individuals actually feel the pressure of its bloodlust on their shoulders. Only the strongest shinobi around will not fear a tint of fear as their natural instincts would force them to have when confronted to such a deadly predator. It is capable of using it from pretty big distances when it is stalking certain individuals to put them on their guard all the while destabilizing them. Jutsu name: Yakoul's Seal of Approval Rank: N/A Range: Personal Description: Almost exactly like Orochimaru's Curse Seal since it did come from the Kekkei Genkai after all. The Confederation saw great potential in this and made it possible for Yakoul to impose Juinjutsu on certain victims and disobedient followers. It doesn't spread it like free candy however, as it is also a source of power that could easily push unworthy individuals into berserk-like states and be an issue to society. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Tease Weapon, tool or object type: Claw Rings Description: A set of Claw Rings worn in every finger except the thumbs. Why? Because they're freaking cool. Also they're specially designed to have wind chakra channel out of the pointed blade form 30 cm air claws. They're hard to see at first glance and cut like any chakra enhanced blade (because its chakra yah). Weapon, tool or object name: Ninjato Weapon, tool or object type: Just a Ninjato Description: Just a Ninjato is carrier around for no reason. Weapon, tool or object name: Awesome clothes Weapon, tool or object type: Clothes Description: It always wears the same clothes, and they can survive being burnt and its super transformations. They don't protect from damage, they just prevent you from seeing Yakoul naked. “By the honor of the Tametomo, I will fight to the death for all our freedoms.” 1m83 - 88 kg A rather tall lad with a well built body, Arima does have the looks on his side. Not the most attractive but that isn't his only asset. With black, almond shaped eyes and straight black hair, some would expect him to be some Uchiha rather than related to the Red Sages leaders. Not so broad shoulders but evidently trained arms and dexterous hands. In terms of attire, he takes whatever he needs to blend in, but often sticks to the Confederation uniform to keep as inconspicuous as possible as a shinobi. He's always seen wearing black combat gloves alone with these odd navy blue boots he wears instead of the common sandals. He's also fond of cloaks when executing covert operations despite having a mask at his disposal, he just likes it. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Arima Shuu - Tametomo 【Alias】 The Rising Sage The Great Red Sage's Cousin The Pussy 【Affiliation】 The Red Sages 【Age】 17 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Straight 【Birthplace】 Amegakure 【Bloodline】 Tametomo's Shuu branch 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 A pretty boy with a status that easily earns him social recognition. Arima doesn't mind utilizing the Tametomo name when in rebel grounds to pride himself over his lineage, something that does get him some female attention. Quite the hotshot and showoff with his rather advanced techniques he dedicates to his own clan, one could say he's the type of popular kid that everybody knows whether they like it or not. In the midst of his demonstrations and indulging himself in praises, he simply loves to maintain a cold and distant attitude, to play the 'mysterious' guy while saying encouraging phrases regarding honor and all that jazz. What most don't see however is that he is far under the expectations of the usual Tametomo, he's a pushover. Souji was quite the thing at his age and that's not even mentioning Tarara, both his cousins. He's very aware of this, as are some of his closer colleagues. He's aware that he neither has their skill nor inherited traits to make him as grandiose as they are. But instead of accepting himself, he remains deluded when facing the crowd of peers that stand in awe when he does anything really. At least this works with the newbies. While insecure, he's also somewhat of a coward, having barely ever been in the battlefield and lied more than once about his experiences. The scar on his lip is the one his family laughs about the most. As much as he may seem confident when playing a facade, he is devoid of any authority and presence. This is particularly true when he's into a girl that doesn't send back the feelings. He's hopeless and stammering. And the more he feels emotionally cornered like this, the easier it is for people to call him out on his bullshit. 【History】 Born six years prior to the massive world war, Arima lived a peaceful life before and after the events really. His family was largely protected by the heads of the rebelling force against the mighty crusading army. It was around age 8 that he developed this idea that he was part of a big family, like the Uchiha or the Kazekage lineage. That he was destined to help this world too by leading it to safety with the Red Sages. Becoming a shinobi thus became a thing, but he was quickly disillusioned when he realized it was rather tough. He put hi spirit in it sure, but often got discouraged when more talent prodigies bested him in almost every field. Nonetheless, this sense of pride remained strong, and while he was named Shuu and Tametomo was a pariah name, he knew that among the inner circles of his family he was seen as special because of this. Becoming a chuunin was a rather average experience for him, he always blamed his teammates for his shortcomings and hardly passed the exams needed. Nonetheless, he made it, and quickly backed out of as many Confederation activities as he could. He was entirely dedicated to the Red Sages and would demand to be trained under their own men rather than by the typical government bound shinobi. Eventually he'd be recognized capable of conducting covert operations, and in his first he was paired with an experience Jonin. The goal was simple, find and infiltrate a simple weapons barrack and set it to blow up. When Arima would tell this tale of course, it was one of the main secret warehouses for quality weapons manufacturing among other things. He didn't lie that the operation was successful however, and exaggerated the few patrols confused and searching around the area with multiple special Ops pursuing them through the border. But hey, details. Oh and yes, that's where he got his scar. The special ops offered a great version of this story, but the thing was that they had to stop their trip for a rest, and who said rest also said snack break. Being the idiot that he is, he tried to open the sealed can with his teeth since most of their tools were left behind to hide evidence. A beautifully vertical and bloody cut on his lip. Well at least the lid was silver like the blade of those commando ninjas. Nowadays he tells this tale, and many believe him due to mostly his status and the fact that despite not being on par, he is a pretty good shinobi who ca handle his own. Some of his teammates were still tipped off about the real events and see right through his make believe, but even while knowing that he tries to stick with the fake alternative to make himself feel better about ... Things. 【Family ties】 Being raised within a branch of the Tametomo, he's known to be related to the two great leaders of The Red Sages. Both his parents are alive and well and he has no siblings. They go under the surname Shuu to avoid any attention from the Confederation. Toroi Shuu \| Father \| 49, Amegakure, Former Chuunin and now door to door salesman Kurona Shuu \| Mother \| 37, Amegakure, Chuunin under the Confederation, serving as a mole for The Red Sages Souji Tametomo \| Cousin \| 27, N/A, Leader of The Red Sages, 1st Degree cousin with Kurona Shuu Chieko Honma \| Friend \| 15, Konoha, Member and colleague in The Red Sages, He hopelessly has a crush on her and they've been partnered before (strong synergy as they both use lightning) 【Dreams and fears】 He dreams of actually reaching the level of his cousins and maybe one day be worthy of carrying on at least some of The Red Sage's legacy. He's absolutely scared of his current condition, of not being good enough for any of this. He also fears the intense battlefield, the inevitable possibility that he'll die. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Obviously oriented toward a style of kickboxing, focusing primarily on the electrical nature of his boots to channel ninjutsu. He is rather speedy in his methods, going for quick hit and run strikes when he sees the opportunity, sometimes even being quite impulsive. He has a hard time making a decent strategy when under pressure, but when he has one, it's sure to make some heads burn. He often attempts to lands as quickly as possible a finisher move even if it wouldn't be the wisest thing to do. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Nope, All skill. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Cosmos Finale: Electrovoid B rank techniques: Shadow Clone Technique Tametomo Cosmos Style: Guillotine Wave Tametomo Cosmos Style: Storm C rank techniques: Lightning Release: Lightning Beast Tracking Fang Cosmos Style: Z-line Cosmos Style: Thunderball Cosmos Style: Hard Counter D-E rank techniques: Demonic Illusion: Lightning Flash Pillar 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Cosmos Finale: Electrovoid Rank: A Range: Contact Description: This time a strange, yellow lightning it focused on both Glorious Cosmos as if Arima was charging an attack. As usual, he attempts to strike down the enemy, whether they dodge or block, it doesn't matter. The energy is suddenly released and manifests itself as a bolt of lightning traveling randomly in a small radius. A wind attack or an explosion would quickly dispel it. However, if it were to hit a chakra entity other than its maker, it would disperse and be absorbed by their body. The victim won't feel any pain, actually, they won't feel anything at all. If this bolt manages to hit someone, they will be completely robbed of their sense of touch as their spinal cord and brain were struck in a specific manner. They will not feel themselves standing, making them lose all sense of balance, their members will move oddly whenever they're not directly looking at them. They won't feel themselves throwing the command to move and as such they can't know if their movements are coherent enough to make a simple gait. The effects last for three posts before the sense is regained, though even the most trained are barely efficient after this. Jutsu name: Tametomo Cosmos Style: Guillotine Wave Rank: B Range: Contact + 50m Description: Inspired by the famous Raikage Guillotine Drop, Arima charges a large amount of chakra on one of the Glorious Cosmos, making it flash in blinding bright blue. All he has to do is simply crash in a powerful downward kick, not necessarily like the Guillotine drop, but it needs to be well placed. The impact would be akin to a full powered chakra enhanced strength hit, causing a massive shockwave of electricity that would shock anyone in a 50m radius, though only slight burns and movement slowing would occur, the pushback however would be fierce. Those hit, whether directly or blocked, will inevitably suffer a large amount of lightning chakra striking them in all directions. This makes for really powerful finisher. The chakra taxing is immense, making it only possible to use twice in a fight as of now with a risk of damaging his leg. Jutsu name: Tametomor Cosmos Style: Storm Rank: B Range: 30 meter radius Description: By kicking a wave of about twenty Thunderballs in the air, they all stand at a halt around the field like a dome of some kind, endlessly spinning around as if Arima manipulated them. They can be popped, but exploding one won't cause a chain reaction strangely enough. Under Arima's command, they will suddenly stop and rush in to converge at a targeted spot. It isn't too difficult to notice them striking and to evade them, however if one were to take a hit, the explosion will be particularly deadly in the epicenter, usually leading to death or knock out. Within the radius, major burns can still occur as well as electrical sparks running through the body to immobilize and/or cripple movement for a short period of time. Jutsu name: Cosmos Style: Z-line Rank: C Range: Up to 50 meters in the air and down under Description: A somewhat more complicated techniques. Lightning chakra is focused on the Glorious Cosmos as Arima uses either the Ice Skates or Rollers mode. The start to flash a brighter blue as he traverses a specific trajectory, leaving a black line on the ground he came in contact with (even water). He can make one as long as 50 meters. The thing is, this line is charged with lightning chakra, and any large entity of chakra crossing it will have all the lightning stored in them zapped into them, like an electric wall. The effects are nasty burns and short term immobility. To avoid it, one must get over 50 meters over the line or 50 meters below. Jutsu name: Cosmos Style: Thunderball Rank: C Range: 0 - 150 m Description: A very simple technique that involves Arima making a simple kick, whether forward, upward, to the side, it doesn't matter. What occurs is that by molding a tiny bit of chakra in the Glorious Cosmos, he is capable of releasing a speeding ball of blue lightning the size of a basketball at the direction he kicked, going as fast as a shuriken. When hitting something, it will explode in an explosion comparable to an explosive tag but with the affect effect of electricity that can leave paralyzed for a short time and leave extra burns. They can easily be dispelled with a projectile. Jutsu name: Cosmos Style: Hard Counter Rank: C Range: Contact Description: A simple technique that involves Arima performing a perfectly timed kick on an electric attack, whether it is chakra or other. By perfectly intercepting the electricity, the Glorious Cosmos is capable of sucking out the bolt. However, this can only work if the attack is focused in one point that isn't too big and doesn't still hit Arima. Secondly, it can't be too strong, so B rank and under only can be drained. It fills in the battery, and in return restores a little bit of chakra. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Glorious Cosmos Weapon, tool or object type: A pair of enhanced combat Boots Description: A pair of navy blue boots that look completely ordinary at first glance, reaching up to about his knees. Whens responding to Arima's chakra, they get covered in a sky blue aura with electrical sparks visible from time to time. Once active, the Glorious Cosmos become enhanced by stockpiled chakra, making them as hard as chakra enhanced steel, thus more than capable of countering most weapons. This 'chakra' that is stored inside each piece is actually dependent of an individual battery in each filled with lightning chakra, but it can also be charged with normal forms of electricity. Now don't go think he can sponge lightning, not quite, but it can accumulate energy gathered through movement of any kind. The aura surrounded can thus continuously replenish itself thanks to movement, and as such can also deliver rather nasty blows too. The electric aura will defuse visible shocks of electricity, although not all that dangerous, they can leave burns and even cause violent muscle spasms if hit in areas near the heart and lungs. The Glorious Cosmos are capable of switching into different 'modes', going to rollers blades and ice skates for greatly enhanced mobility. Needless to say he's faster than the average shinobi run with this. As such Arima can easily use the ice skates to utilise them them as lethal blades when going close and personal. “Ladies and Gentlemen, and everything in Between!” 1m51 - 40 Kg With adulthood, Aoi had her look adapt to her new circumstances, giving a lot less of a child-like impression and one more akin to a woman thriving in her life. To start off, she dedicated her look to her usage name she employs in her job by dyeing her hair sky blue, going along perfectly with her naturally blue colored, dazzling eyes. The way she styles her hair varies depending on trends and demands from her current position, as of now she keeps the look on the picture as it is Myaka Shouho's main hairstyle these days. Untied they reach the middle of her back. She appears to be rather well pampered with quality makeup on during any of her outings and attires that are mostly seen on big shot magazines. Quite often with eye capturing colors, she purposely takes a more flashy appearance to please the demand of her viewers and accomplish her daily motives within the Confederation's News Network and Public Relations. In more casual circumstances where she either doesn't want to be recognized or is fighting, she's wearing a pair of high-heeled white boots, black jeans with a combat bet containing multiple small pouches, a black tank top and a white jacket over it. Her stature is rather small, but only 151 cm in height and rather light, she doesn't bode the muscle mass of many of her shinobi peers, but such bulk would only trample on her style. Her petite silhouette does demonstrate minuscule levels of strength, but her body is rightly trained in the art of gymnastics and flexibility. A malleable body that can adapt to many situations and adopt techniques a lot easier than one geared to toning muscle. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Once a bubbly airhead, Aoi had since matured a whole lot since the war, becoming a lot more conscious of what she says and how she behaves around people. That said, she is a very illuminating and energetic presence, absolutely impossible to miss within a crowd or an occupied room. She still oozes positive aura despite what happened in Konoha 11 years back, searching for ways to make the situation better for everyone. While still having a need to be the center of everything, she did learn to let her attention gobbling and egocentric desires a rest. Nonetheless, she doesn't mind discussing various things she's achieved and something cut people off to express her sometimes misinformed opinion. She means well, but Aoi isn't one to be completely self-conscious either. Because of this, she can't be a social butterfly, but her powerful presence makes for unique charm and charisma to both sexes and her eloquence as a performer allowed her to gain access to positions that were only available in her dreams. Even things she doesn't quite understand, at all, she can make them convincing enough with the right look and her way of expressing it. A crowd pleaser for sure, all this attention and success have gone up to her behavior however. Now a seductress of the highest caliber, she doesn't mind dressing sexy to seduce those of the fairer sex she deems attractive. In spite of this, she's truly looking for someone she could end up with but fails to produce the exact result her now complex mind expects. The biggest enigma about Aoi would be her her brains, her intelligence. Although brainy with random trivia, she isn't the brightest one of the bunch that's for sure. Her vocabulary isn't too large and sometimes says things she just doesn't know the definition of. She's also ignorant when it comes to understanding more complex issues linked together and has trouble associating ideas, in a sense she isn't the most logical person either. This however comes into question when she clearly demonstrates creativity that surpasses a lot of conditioned shinobi. In the field, she is particularly efficient, at the level of her Prodigy counterpart Yamato, with usually very crafty and deceptive tactics used to finish off any type of foe. She doesn't outsmart them, but she pulls off the most unexpected of things while holding a large amount of skill. Despite this, Aoi is something that is easily influenced and holds her situation dearly. Meaning she can be manipulated through things like morals and people's views on her, as yes she actually cares about what people think. She is indeed loyal to the Confederation, but it can be broken given the right initiative by the opposing forces. 【History】 Before the Hamajō reign: Like many children living in an era of poverty in smaller countries, Aoi was abandoned by her parents a few hours after her birth. Fortunately the parents didn't randomly leave her at a home but instead confided her to the renown Don Maquia troupe as they passed the country. They knew leaving an abandoned child there would motivate them to keep it, as it was how they usually made staff. And so, she was raised in a gypsy-esque environment where travelling was frequent and work was every day, no real weekend. As she grew up, Jouro Don Maquia would not cut her some slack and initiated her to the realities of labor and hardships, but she never really complained as it felt normal to her. It didn't mean she was devoid of any fun, if anything fun was something they managed to develop during work and practice for performances. Usually by mixing the two, Aoi and her closest friend Mia had fun doing their chores while doing various acrobatic acts. She was happy with what she had, and couldn't care less about her biological parents. At one point, she'd be initiated to one of the troupe's secrets, a special way to manipulate chakra without being unique. She had a strong affinity for water, being from the Rain village, and naturally developed the abilities to hide in water and rain, but she had no knowledge of chakra otherwise. The basics were learned through usual practice, walking on water impressed many civilians, so it was general practice, substitution made great magic effects, fake clones too and so on. Chakra was something that enabled great success for the troupe, however the true secret revealed to Aoi's specific affinity would be her mucus ability. With it, she'd easily impress her audience while being exceptionally flexible in most domains. Initially, it wasn't meant to be a weapon, but through creativity, she managed to defend herself from low bandits trying to rob the troupe. Eventually reaching Konoha, multiple Jounin took notice of her unique capabilities that they had never seen before and offered her the chance to become a ninja. Realizing how it would approach her to her goal, she righteously accepted and moved on as a Genin without any Academy training (she was more than capable in entry levels). The only problem would be that she'd be unable to read and write, causing problems to her superiors. Sure she managed to learn most of it, but she isn't quite efficient at it, being a slow reader and writing so poorly it's barely comprehensible. She easily learns new lingo, however. After the Hamajō reign: Many events in Konoha honed her as a shinobi, built her as a lover and ascended her as a potential star. The war swept all that away, her skills were no match, her lover drowned into despair and all she worked for was tuned into ash by this coming of a new world. Disoriented and lost, she clung onto her falling girlfriend, Akio, who took the events extremely badly. Occasional abuse in multiple ways and the general change of behavior from the older one of the couple ended up infuriating the now disillusioned Aoi and prompted her to simply abandon the wreck once and for all. She hated this new world, it changed everything, and her naive self liked how things were. Now it was all controlled and safe, no risk worthwhile or a crowd to please as everyone was too busy to recover. Or so she thought. In reality her talents were exactly what the populace needed in this time of rapid reconstruction and loss. She had lost her masters, her friends and her lover, but the Phoenix would rise from its ashes and burn brighter than ever. Making a small reputation, she'd make herself known by higher generals of the Confederation, including Ryuu and Yakoul. Though she had potential, the genius that is Ryuu saw how malleable her mind was and simply offered something she couldn't refuse. Along with Yamato, she's one of the higher shinobi in the Confederate entourage, though she also holds a prime position in the Presidents inner circle. She doesn't have a voice in the matters, but she stands as the head of public relations, the face of the Government when the President isn't the one making declarations. To add to that, she's been given the position of primary news anchor for the Government's main news channel, or at least the most popular one, and is often given the ability to host other shows sponsored by the same channel. Because of this, Aoi's become a rather relevant icon to the Confederation. At a point during her career, she chose the name Fuegushi as surname to replace her previous one as a step through grief. Indeed, upon learning the fact that her childhood troupe had been missing now for years without a trace, she finally accepted they were permanently gone. 【Family ties】 Aoi's ties are rather strange to say the least. She wasn't raised by ordinary parents, but rather grew up as a carny along with the entire Don Maquia troupe. Her relationship with them is worthy of a sibling-type relation, as they grew up with her since she was in diapers. They did not object to her ambition of becoming a famous ninja, having formed her for such usage in any case. They continue to support her through letters and regular visits at Konoha. As of now, the troupe has been missing since the end of the war, many consider them dead, including Aoi who grieved them. Jouro Don Maquia \| Adoptive Father \| 67, Missing, The leader of the Don Maquia Troupe, regarded as the father of every member, he is highly respected and no one dares to question his authority. Mia Don Maquia \| Spiritual Sister \| 28, Missing, A professional acrobat in the troupe, she was Aoi's best friend and closest 'sister'. Bo Don Maquia \| Spiritual Uncle \| 55, Missing, The lion tamer of the troupe, he often took care of Aoi when she had fallen ill or when Jouro wasn't around. Guru \| Pet \| 19, In Aoi's big house, Aoi's attributed animal she had to raise. It is an elephant she often uses in her performances in the troupe. Akio Tendou \| Ex-Lover \| 29, Not here, Aoi's first girlfriend after changing her love interest paradigm. The relationship ended little after the end of the war as Aoi was simply fed up with her bullshit. 【Dreams and fears】 Having achieved her first goal of being a renown figure in not only a big village, but now the whole world, she only dreams of creating new and exciting things for the world to see. She tries her best to have people see the bright side of this world, to keep it intact. She fears losing this imperfect world and falling into the oubliette, or worst yet being seen as a devil for supporting a state that people were, for some reason, fed up with. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Sporadic and relying a lot of deceit to defeat her foes with grace. Aoi holds the idea of making her fights a spectacle, a show to be enjoyed, as such her fighting style has new been geared to manipulate the way they perceive things while making it a powerful experience for everything, whether it is good or bad. She uses her creative skills to have Genjutsu applied in the most unsuspecting of ways and circumstances, making her almost unbelievably difficult to reach at times. She enjoys employing her Hiden since it is her only ninjutsu weapon and often times only solely rely on it when going on the offensive. This isn't to be confused with the idea that she is a potent fighter up close. Though she prefers mid rage considering none of her abilities are efficient at long range and her small frame makes her vulnerable to close quarters, she is very well versed in taijutsu as a former circus clown and performer. Agile and swift with reflexes typical of an expert in the senses, she easily uses her martial arts skills to use the enemy's strength against them and lay them flat quickly. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Mucus Surprise Description: Although not a true bloodline limit, very few in the world are able to master this ability. Essentially it requires initiation from birth and at least an affinity to water, thus it can be classed as a form of Hiden. Rare societies such as the Don Maquia troupe have maintained its secrets. Basically, it enables the wielder to turn their chakra into different form of oozing mucus that can take the form of different imagined objects and have the properties of things such as rubber or gum. The possibilities are quite huge but the product coming from it is thick liquid-like substance that almost always sticks. Strengths: Generally it keeps the properties of rubber and gum, making it not only dangerously adhesive but strongly resistant to kinetic force coming from blunt strikes. When used as a medium to trap others, it is surprisingly lethal and effective. Strongly resistant to burns as it is originally made of water, conducts electricity poorly due to composition however. Weaknesses: Generally easy to cut through depending on the mass and density, which only require extra strength put into cuts. Those with superior physical strength can resist the stickiness to a great extent, even break it under conditions. 【Ninja techniques】 S rank techniques: Super Mega Magician's Secret! (May or may not have one. Will have it validated when I decide to give her one. Because I won't be using her as a PVP character yet, it isn't a big deal. I mostly want to introduce her.) A rank techniques: 3 Gooey Bungee! Jellyfish Sting! Mumbo Jumbo! B rank techniques: 4 Mister Spodes! Gooey Replica Mirrored Bizarro! Dance of the gallant C rank techniques: 4 Water Release: Starch Syrup Capturing Field Freeze Snap! Gooey Surprise! Snot Bubble! D-E rank techniques: 3 Water Release: Hiding in Water Technique Water Release: Hiding in Rain Technique Demonic Illusion: Double False Surroundings Technique *Basic Jutsu 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Gooey Bungee Rank: A Range: From 0 to 80 meters to apply it, maintained in over 200 meters Description: A transparent strand of mucus is created from her body and can be released from any point she desires. The strand itself can have one end stuck against a target she had contact with as much as she can have it latch onto something from a distance (by pointing at it or something similar). While being transparent, it has little to no texture and can barely be felt if touching the skin due to its lack of smell, taste or consistency. This mucus, however, is dangerous for many reasons. It can contract and release whenever Aoi desires (its her chakra after all), the contraction being exceptionally powerful like a form of 'super-rubber', allowing her to pull our push relatively heavy thing by simply connecting the strand to her index finger. The strength and weight of the target will determine the amount of chakra is demands for the contraction strength. She can also transfer it from her finger to say another target and have it contact, causing one or both the targets to be pulled and hit each other. She can use up to fifteen at once. They can be easily cut, however they do not vanish, making them susceptible to being reattached at any moment. Ripping it off would be logical, however if it was to contract, it would be relatively futile. On lighter objects, it can tighten itself to a point where it can act like a chakra thread, manipulating said smaller objects at will, though that doesn't mean she can be as precise as a puppet master. Jutsu name: Unexpected Reveal: Jellyfish Sting! Rank: A Range: Contact Description: A technique developed during the time when Aoi was under evaluation for "Jonin confirmation". Given the lack of examination, she was put under Katsu Hyuuga's care for testing. Forming a type of student - teacher bond, they grew accustomed to each other's abilities and were able to create this technique. Utilizing the same principles as the soft fist fighting style, Aoi either uses the tip of her fingers or the pointed knuckles of her major fingers to "spray" raw mucus chakra. Unlike Hyuuga, she cannot pinpoint it on either tenketsu or on organs to have a result, but she can have the raw chakra pierce through armor (still requires contact) and flesh and have it take solid form a second later. The result is mucus chakra clogging primarily the nervous system and somewhat of the chakra system (mostly efficient on members). If hitting an arm for instance, the nervous messages from let's say the elbow if hit there down to the hands will be blocked, essentially paralyzing the forearm. With the body, hitting the abdomen or the chest strongly reduces mobility to the point where coordination is difficult (members remain normal), the more it is hit the more one will feel exhausted. If the spine, neck or head are hit, they are instantly paralyzed. No matter where, the effects of each hit lasts for two posts. They are also very easy to counter with a strong punch considering Aoi's poor strength, making it an ability extremely efficient but ridiculously risky. The fact that it can just be substituted with a simple stab also gears this to a more non-lethal approach. Jutsu name: Mumbo Jumbo! Rank: A Range: Touch Description: Possibly the most terrifying jutsu used by Aoi and the 'magician's secret' she's never revealed to the public. This is a genjutsu that requires that her chakra enters into contact with an opponent, either via contact or through ninjutsu. With this done, the magic can begin. The victims become completely blind to Shinobi magic and are unable to see or feel Aoi's chakra, and by extension, the forms they take. Any form of ninjutsu she uses will appear strangely, but she'll often make it appear as though they're part of something else, like a trick to deceive the opponent and make them weary. Sensors can see their own chakra as well as chakra in Aoi's body, but not what comes out of it, as such they can see they're under a genjutsu, but when are they not with Aoi? Jutsu name: Mister Spodes! Rank: B Range: Can reach up to 20 meters (tentacles) Description: Using the same cloth as Abra Kadabra, Aoi twists and turns the handkerchief with blinding speed (such as a clown making a balloon animal) until it forms a hollow Octopus with a ^0^ face. It would only be when she tosses it while doing the Ram seal that it suddenly gets filled with a mass of mucus in it. It becomes about 2 feet in height and holds eight tentacles likes a regular octopus. They aren't very mobile and are generally very slow, however their tentacles extend rather quickly and can catch someone off guard. The mucus in the tentacles serves as a form of suction cup that keeps what it captures stuck in a tight bind similar to Gooey Surprise (with same limits). The Mister Spodes can easily glues themselves to the ground to prevent enemies from dragging them, essentially making them very useful seals to non-superhuman fighters. They die when their head it damaged (to the point where it leaks). Aoi can make up to four of them per fight and they can also be used as body replacement dummies. They also have a very eerie tendency to wail 'Boyoyoyoyon' quite often, no one knows how this is possible. Jutsu name: Gooey Replica! Rank: B Range: Self, Clone technique Description: Essentially shadow clone technique applied on mucus. The clones are composed of strange, green mucus and are able to move like regular people. They can also use mucus abilities with half the power of the original (in exception to techniques higher in rank than this one). When they die, they explode into a heavy mass of mucus that sticks onto anything around them, hence their use as suicide bombers to hinder the movements of an opponent. Up to seven can be made per fight. Jutsu name: Mirrored Bizarro! Rank: B Range: Smell Description: A genjutsu that depends on smell related activation. Because Aoi constantly wears a high quality Lavender perfume that ca be smelled from multiple meters away, she she exploits that fact to make it extremely hard to detect. In this circumstance, she performs a single hand seal, often doing it after doing another jutsu to make the enemy believe only one jutsu was made, but she actually makes her chakra adopt an aroma the same as her perfume. The smell is strong but hardly noticeable due to it being normal in her presence, but it deeply affects the perception of the people infected. In this case, everything they perceive will be inverted in direction, left is right, up is down. They will see everything this way, but the reality of it will be the contrary. The victim can pick up on it as they can also hear the real version attacking in the opposite side (as well as sense it via chakra sensing), but the illusion remains overwhelmingly real, and without a release, their reflexes will likely make them sloppier as it would seem as though they are genuinely attacked from the illusion. Jutsu name: Dance of the gallant Rank: B Range: Sight Description: A Genjutsu that is activated whenever the patterns on her umbrella are seen as they hold a hypnotic effect combined with her chakra. The effects allow her to create a replica of herself between 0 m to 1 m away from her, no matter the side. It will mimic movements typical of Aoi, however the true Aoi is completely replaced by the false one. This is usually made to confuse close range attackers, making them think she is capable of dodging everything before taking the right opportunity to strike. This can also be used to simply confuse any form of attacker into hitting the false image while th real remains concealed. Exceptionally deadly if the genjutsu isn't noticed fast enough. The image can of course move around as long as Aoi is in the perimeter. Jutsu name: Freeze Snap! Rank: C Range: Sight - Sound Description: Aoi forms a small ball of Yin chakra and simply tosses it in the air or on the nearby ground, only to have it pop like fireworks or a firecracker. The flash is so bright, it works as a flashbang. The effects are simple, those exposed regain their sight extremely fast, the flash was barely a millisecond, but they'll feel an endless buzzing sound in their ears with nothing else and the world around them frozen in time. Everything looks like the instant before the bang went out. Evidently a Genjutsu, it is easy to notice and Kai out. Jutsu name: Gooey Surprise! Rank: C Range: Close, in person. Description: A much more developed variation of the transformation technique. Indeed, the user covers themselves with a gooey layer of mucus capable of taking different shapes and sizes, colors and textures. The mucus is highly adhesive though, enough to make it act like quicksand: The more there's resistance, the deeper it gets, though it cannot be that deep because of Aoi's thin figure. It is very useful for trapping though not too specialized in hand to hand combat. Those specialized can use their techniques to break free with relative ease, though it doesn't mean that they're immune to the immediate effects. It doesn't give immunity to heat either, though it does slightly reduce overall damage, along with any other type of damage really. Jutsu name: Snot danger parade! Rank: C Range: Varies, close to medium usually. Description: By either using a specific hand sign or inhaling things like pepper, Aoi sneezes large mucus bubbles capable of swallowing more than one individual. The larger that it can get would be as large as a horse. Those trapped inside can easily pop it, however it would result in the bubble imploding, not only causing strong pressure to hit their bodies, rendering most to a rather confused and head aching state, while being covering in dense mucus stuck on the ground. This also causes smaller, human size bubbles to take shape. If the popping is made from outside, the explosion is general and hits everyone except those inside. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Fuegushi Weapon, tool or object type: Umbrella Description: A strange, light blue umbrella Aoi carries around with her. It appears to be the type en vogue these days, but her's holds a strange butterfly-like black pattern on it which enables one of her genjutsu. The handle can be removed to revealed a concealed blade, slightly shorter than a rapier. This Umbrella is capable of releasing a powerful kinetic force at close range when opened, making it capable of repelling powerful projectiles without even a recoil when the timing is right, making some unsuspecting close rangers stumble back in surprise as well. It is chakra enhanced and its fabric is strangely durable yet thin. Weapon, tool or object name: Magic Cards Weapon, tool or object type: Cutting weapon Description: A set of playing cards forged to be as sharp as a kunai, however lighter and more malleable. They are easier to use but weak in one on one blade fights as their small weight makes them easy to break through. They are perfect for assassination and tactically placed hits, however.
51,112	1,381	19	925	1,132	Longasssurname Mikoto Mikoto turned to the soure of the voice. Another Red Sage, most definitely. "Two more? Arara, how rude. Do they know nothing of manners? No matter." Mikoto sang. What happened next, however, was really sudden. The Hyuuga Mikoto was pursuing, threw another one of those air fist things at Nori. Though Mikoto would've loved to help him, it seemed he had his own problems to take care of. Someone had thrown a pair of Shurikens at him. Those, however, didn't actually seem to be directed at his vital points. Perhaps something more of a distraction rather than an actual attack. What could they be planning? Well, whatever they were planning, Mikoto had no time to wait and see. He had to go and save his newly made friend (Friendship is beautiful after all). Most sane people would dodge the attack, or do some kind of counterattack. Mikoto, however, ran straight at them as he started making hand signs and supported his staff on his thumbs. Dragon, Horse, Ram, Dog, Tiger. "High Speed Jet, Medium output!" At both ends of his staff, a waterjet appeared. He jumped and then cut both shurikens with his staff, and then stopped the incoming sword (the red in the mist was a quick gaveaway) with the metal in his staff. Though the waterjet enveloping that end of his staff couldn't cut through the blade, it would indeed put out the fire with which the girl was trying to heat the blade. After blocking the incoming attack, Mikoto pushed the girl away from him and then whirls around, supporting himself on his left foot and extending his left hand with his staff on it. Taking it from its end, despite the waterjet, Mikoto aimed to strike the Uchiha girl's head with the center of his staff and throw her off balance. He had indeed planned a follow up, regardless of the outcome, but when he took a good look at the girl he noticed something peculiar. She was astoundingly beautiful, for a girl her age. He would follow his next attack by putting his waterjet centimeters away from the girl's neck and then ask her, "Hey, hey, pretty girl. How about we stop this foolishness? We are both too beautiful to be going against each other. We should just lay down our arms and go on a date together. You are still young but I'm sure we can manage. Otherwise, I'm going to be ahead of you." Mikoto smirked after his idiotic pun. It was most definitely not his usual smirk though. If the Uchiha girl decided not to accept Mikoto's invitation, then he'd go into a full offensive, seeking to take her head at every step he took. "Even with the sharingan, she can't keep up with my Maximum output." The girl was an Uchiha. She deserved nothing less, and probably couldn't be defeated with nothing else. @All ya other guys Kanata, whom I can't think of anything clever to put here Kanata decided to head to the government main building instead of searching for her brother. Not matter how (not) worried she was, she had to keep up appearances with the confederation. Kanata knew they were suspicious enough with only his brother being a Red Sage. They'd brand her a traitor if she helped him. However, the main building wasn't anything pretty either. What she thought would be a safe heaven was only the worst part of the Red Sages attack. Kanata spotted two girls pinned down by some or other guy with a demon mask. "Lemme guess, I got to go and help. Fine, fine." Rat, Dog, Ox. Kanata did the signs in barely a moment, and then put her hand up. "Water Release: Enveloping Mist Jutsu!" As the mist left her hands and started expanding to cover the insides of the building, Kanata quickly followed up with another jutsu. "Hidden In Mist Technique!" Hiding herself inside the mist, Kanata hurried to the side of the blue haired woman and her companion. "C'mon, we need to bail. Unless you want another round with that guy. If so, I'm right behind you... though they might still kill us, so it's your call whether we haul ass or stay and get our asses handed over to us." Kanata said to her. "Can you stand?" She extended her hand to the blue haired woman.	I want a cool name for where I keep my characters too “Who might that handsome guy in the mirror be? Ah, it's just me.” Meet Amatsurahashi Mikoto. A young man standing at 1.79 meters who probably spends more time looking at himself in the mirror than actually fighting. His long red hair made into a ponytail is probably the one with the best care in the whole army, even among the women. His fair skin has so many layers of creams and other chemicals that some men think he'll explode if there's some fire near him. His blue eyes have never been seen in another state than their almost always perfect one in which Mikoto keeps them. There are some rumors going around that say his eyes can't actually be that pretty alone, saying that they MUST be using contact lenses. He is so picky with his food and training menu to keep his slim, yet strong build, that many come to take his advice on how to take better care of their own physique. Amatsurahashi Mikoto, the man who spends a lot of time trimming himself and is actually not gay. That is the man standing before you. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Amatsurahashi Mikoto 【Alias】 That one not-gay guy that seems gay AKA Metrosexual. 【Affiliation】 Red Sages. 【Age】 20 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Heterosexual. Might be willing to change in the future. 【Birthplace】 Kirigakure. The Village Hidden In The Mist. 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Have you ever met that one person that just seems to sing everything when he talks? That's the kind of person Mikoto is. A lot of people think he is annoying, but he just shows no signs of changing. Ever since he was a child he's had one rule with which he lives by. To never change himself even if others want to change him. Always remain true to the desires of his heart. He is that kind of whimsical guy. He loves art, music and just about anything that expresses the true desires of the heart. He spends a great deal of time in unnecessary and excessive grooming. He also seems to vastly prefer the company of men rather than the company of woman. These are just some of the reason as to why a lot of people think Mikoto is actually homosexual. Mikoto is only really picky when it comes to women, not to mention that he isn't popular with woman either because of how effeminate he seems at times. Several of his close friends actually know this, and still like to tease him about that. Having sparked several misunderstandings, Mikoto has made an habit of introducing himself with his sexuality in his introduction line. Despite his love for his beauty, Mikoto is neither an stranger to fight nor is he scared of them. He is not a ninja just for show. Mikoto's will to fight is just as much, if not even more, than other ninjas. He will never run away, nor will he ever admit he is outpowered. That's why he believes it is wrong for shinobi's to only be after money and not to follow their heart's desires. He does, however, protect his face a lot more than any other shinobi does. His reason to be one of the Red Sages is simple; "Doesn't freedom sound like a beautiful concept to you? I'd very much like to see what true freedom is like." 【History】 What can you expect from Mikoto's story? Yes, he was bullied as a kid. Yes, he was beaten up a lot as a kid. No, he was not mentally scarred or traumatised by this. Mikoto actually fought back. He's never been afraid of getting his hands dirty. Though he's always been a dilligent student, more than once has he been scolded by his teachers because of how many fights he got himself into. During elementary school, he had to fight his way through bullies and smart-asses who thought he was nothing more than a sissy. It wasn't until he started going to junior high school that he discovered a better way to deal with bullies instead of fighting them. Completely ignoring them. Why, there's nothing more infuriating than the sissy you are trying to piss off completely ignores your very existance. It ended up either with the guys giving up and moving on to their next victim or them trying to beat up Mikoto, which ended up badly for them. Again. By the time he entered high school, Mikoto had created a reputation for himself. Never again did he have to deal with idiots trying to piss him off. Sadly, it was... boring. Extremely so. How could he ever relieve this boredom? Already studying to be a ninja and a Chuunin, and the Hamajo Confederation didn't seem eager to start a war any time soon. Then, what could little old Mikoto do to relieve his thirst for fighting? The Red Sages was the only thing that came to his mind. 【Family ties】 The Amatsurahashi family. Harsh in their ninja training, lax in their concept of what a man should be. Why you ask? Mikoto's father died when he was 4 on the way to the hospital when Mikoto's sister was about to be born. So, Mikoto had to quickly grow up and become the man of the house and so, he had no time to have his lunch handed over to him by some guys who taught were better than him. Not to mention he had an example to set for his sister. Amatsurahashi Haruka \| Mother \| 42, Kirigakure, Reitred Shinobi Amatsurahashi Kanata \| Sister \| 16, Kirigakure, Shinobi, Chuunin 【Dreams and fears】 His dream is to see actual freedom. To be able to see what it truly means for a shinobi to be able to be free. He'd also like to learn how to play an instrument, ANY instrument. His deepest and darkest fear is for all that is beautiful to him, including his family, to be taken away from him all at once. To leave him at the mercy of a world where nothing can no longer make him feel alive. Basically, being alive but dead inside is his biggest fear. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Many describe Mikoto's fighting style as refined and entracing. They say it is like watching him dance instead of fighting. Still, Mikoto's taijutsu is deadly and precise. There is no wasted effort, no wasted moves. Everything is made to be a beautifully perfect fighting style for Mikoto. Rhythm and tempo are the bases for his taijutsu style. He always tries to imitate a song playing inside his head as he fights, trying to match the timings of his strikes and the timing to avoid and counter-attack. Thanks to his being knowledgeable about several types of music, it is easy for him to change gears in the blink of an eye. He tends to use bojutsu, a fighting style through the use of a staff, when he thinks taijutsu is no longer enough to defeat someone. He usually combines bojutsu with ninjutsu to make an even more lethal style. He is more of a physical fighter rather than using ninjutsu and genjutsu. His ninjutsu acts more as a support for his fighting style and he tries to avoid using genjutsu, mainly because it isn't his best subject. His ninjutsu focuses on the use of water as a high speed waterjet to cut through things. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Doesn't have one. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Water Release: High Speed Jet B rank techniques: Water Release: Water Beast Water Release: Hiding in Water Technique C rank techniques: Water Release: Water Gun Water Release: Water Whip Water Clone Technique D-E rank techniques: All basic Academy E ones. 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Water Release: High Speed Jet Rank: A Range: Short Range, can only be use in hand-to-hand combat. Description: The user releases a high speed stream of water from their finger tips and envelops both of their hands in a water jet that can cut through just about anything. This technique, however, is as harmful to the user as it is to their opponent, and can only be used once in a fight to avoid further damage to their hands and/or weapons. Depending of the Chakra output of the user, this move becomes more powerful and becomes able to cut through harder materials. How much the chakra is being used also determines how long this jutsu can last. At minimum output, the Jutsu can cut through wood easily and can last about an hour (6 posts) without damaging the user's skin. In a weapon, it can last for a complete hour (6 posts) before it starts eating away at the materials of the weapon. At medium output, the jutsu can cut through bone, rock and even iron. The user can mantain it for 15 (3 posts) minutes without major damage to their hands. In a weapon, it can last for 30 minutes (4 posts). At maximum output, the jutsu can cut through just about any kind of metal standing in its way, though it won't be able to cut through chakra enhanced weapons, diamonds or crystal release jutsus. In the user's hands, it can only last for a minute (1 post) before there is major damage and in a weapon it can last for 5 minutes (2 posts) before it destroys the weapon completely. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon Name: Sonatta Weapon, tool or object type: Staff Description: A large white and black staff that is about the same height as Mikoto himself. It is made out of wood and has two metal plates at both of its ends, so it can withstand Mikoto's High Speed Jet Jutsu. “Yeah, I am that guy's sister. No, I won't get you a date with him. Why? Because he doesn't freakin' like dudes!” Standing at a not even surprising 1.64 meters and a rather slim and flimsy frame, it is Amatsurahashi Kanata. Like her brother, she has fiery red hair and blue eyes, but neither of them are as well cared for as his. In fact, her brother likes to point out the split ends her hair might have. Her hair is long and usually kept in a pair of twintails that reach her waist. Her blue eyes are big and have been called cute several times, by relatives and her mother, mainly. Her fair skin does have some cream put into it but not the ungodly amounts her brother uses. Like other men, she fears she might catch fire if she imitates her brother. Her frame is slim but well trained, as expected of any shinobi. The problem lies in her chest, something she has a strong complex about and what often makes others confuse her for a boy (given how her brother is). A teenager who'd like to put as much attention on her appearance as her homo brother, Amatsurahashi Kanata. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Amatsurahashi Kanata 【Alias】 Little Sister 【Affiliation】 Undecided 【Age】 16 【Sex】 Female 【Sexuality】 Straight 【Birthplace】 Kirigakure 【Bloodline】 Amatsurahashi 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Unlike her brother who has 'shit for brains', Kanata is a lot more normal than her egocentric and metrosexual brother, if a lot more tomboyish than your regular kunoichi. But let's be honest here, what screams femininity more than a girl in a tight suit jumping around and throwing sharp things at others? Foul-mouthed by nature, full of hormones thanks to her age and Kanata's short fuse make her an adorable pack of emotions, insults, bad words and sarcasm all in one. She's known for not holding anything back, and this has gotten her in a lot more of problems than she's ever wanted to have. Her tongue moves faster than her brain can catch up, hurling insults at people she shouldn't piss off. She depends a lot on her brother Mikoto to get her out of such situations. An idiot by birth not by choice, Kanata has found herself in more than one tight spot both in school and in the streets. She often comments on how life wouldn't be as exciting if she didn't get in as much problems as she does, though. Add to all of this the fact that she has several complexes about her body and life and it just makes her the perfect adolescent with attitude problems. She just needs to run away and the pack should be complete. Among her several complexes, she's got a complex about her chest and an inferiority complex towards her brother. Don't try to mention her height or call her a boy either. Overall, Kanata is a short-tempered idiot with a big mouth AND some ability as a ninja. At least she knows how to fight AND when she should just run for it instead of fighting. "Live to fight another day. Those idiots will never catch me anyway, not with mighty homo Mikoto watching my back." 【History】 Unlike her brother, Kanata was largely ignored in her school years, all the way from elementary school it was just a big whole of... nothing. Have you ever seen your graduation photo and noticed a guy that is there but you never actually saw? If not, that's what several people thought after getting their graduation photo and finally noticing Kanata. Everyone expected big things from Amatsurahashi Mikoto's sister, only to be let down by the extremely pragmatic and sarcastic Kanata. Her existence mostly went unnoticed until she finally became a Chuunin. Pairing up with her brother and going out in missions made them a deadly combo. Finally, people started noticing Kanata and she wasn't sure of whether this was a good or bad thing. Well, she never really did have a lack of friends, she just was in that small group that mostly went unnoticed by others. Later she determined that it was bad. Real bad. They all came to her with words like 'Oh, did Mikoto have a sister? Never knew.' or 'Wow, to think you could actually do something!'. What came after those comments was most definitely not pretty. Having gained a bad reputation this time around, people started to actually avoid her. Well, her fame was short lived, and it was good that it was. 【Family ties】 Kanata's father died before she was born, so she only has her older brother and mother to rely on. While she is fond of and loves the two of them, she does find them, Mikoto specially, annoying. Amatsurahashi Haruka \| Mother \| 42, Kirigakure, Retired Shinobi Amatsurahashi Mikoto \| Brother \| 20, Kirigakure, Shinobi, Part of the Red Sages, "Full time homo" 【Dreams and fears】 She dreams of one day surpassing her ever so perfect and beautiful brother, or at the very least shake off the feeling of inferiority she feels towards him. Her biggest fear is not being able to go to the next One Direction concert living in the shadow of her brother. Also to be noted, she is scared witless of Mikoto's imminent death if he keeps doing dangerous things. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Never to shine herself but to give others the opportunity to shine, Kanata's fighting style is a purely supportive one. She can indeed defend herself in hand to hand combat, yes, but her true talent comes out when she is fighting alongside someone else. Her specialty are ninjutsu and genjutsu used to support a more aggressive battle style like her brother's. She intends to stall, hinder and trip her opponents at every step they give. Even if they are about to hit their mark, she'll make sure that what they hit is nothing more but an illusion she's made. Cunning and brains, not muscles and... more muscles, are what make her a formidable fighter. She uses water release, but unlike her brother, she uses mist and barriers to hinder her opponents. Her taijutsu is the weakest part of her fighting style as a whole. She can easily be overpowered by any opponent with more experience in hand to hand combat or otherwise. Her taijutsu is focused on the use of her legs, since her arms are more like sticks. She uses a combination of muay thai and tae kwon do to keep opponents at bay while she uses her hands to prepare her next jutsu. Kanata also tends to use submission holds against opponents bigger than her, in order to keep them from moving and to give herself more time to cast her next jutsu. Thanks to her being bad at taijutsu, she carries even more kunais than the average shinobi. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Thank God I don't need to fill this longass form 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Water Release: Water Heavens Convergence B rank techniques: Water Release: Water Formation Pillar Water Release: Water Beast Illysionary Mist C rank techniques: Water Prison Technique Water Release: Water Gun Water Clone Technique Water Release: Enveloping Mist D-E rank techniques: Hidden In Mist Technique 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Water Release: Enveloping Mist Rank: C Range: Large, it covers an area of 30 meters around the user. Description: The user, Kanata, releases mist from the tip of her fingers that envelops a wide are around her. It does nothing more, nothing less. Once the mist is out of Kanata, it does not take any chakra for her to mantain it. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Kunais. Lots and lots of them. Weapon, tool or object type: Throwing Kunai Description: Simple kunais in ungodly quantities. Makes you wonder where the hell is she hiding so many of them. “Calm yourself. I mean you no harm. ... Your heartbeat is starting to calm down. Good.” An intimidating man standing at 1.80 meters and a man of nerves made out of steel, Kisaragi Anzai. He's got short and spiky black hair falling right over his face. He uses a headband at the top of his forehead to not let it rub against his face, since he is pretty sensitive. Anzai's skin is dark brown, making for a perfect example of the trademark Kumogakure ethnicity. He's got gray eyes, but he always keeps his eyes shut. Unlike many cliché anime characters, Anzai actually keeps his own eyes shut because he is blind. His physique is quite buff and muscular, something that affects his diet quite a lot since he needs to eat a lot more than your regular shinobi. Despite his physique and Kekkei Genkai, Anzai keeps always keeps a cane by his side. The Blind Assassin, Kisaragi Anzai. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Kisaragi Anzai 【Alias】 The Blind Assassin, Anzu 【Affiliation】 Red Sages 【Age】 25 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Asexual/Bi-romantic (think I saw someone use the word hetero-romantic somewhere, so I'm borrowing the idea) 【Birthplace】 Kumogakure 【Bloodline】 Kisaragi 【Rank】 Jounin -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Calm and stoic are the words that best define Anzai. He's lived his life having to take calm and well-thought steps due to his blindness. It gives you more time to think, in a way. Everything he does is well-thought and meditated, even his jokes, which tend to be overlooked because of his monotone tone of voice. Because of his legendary calmness and his habit of meditation, many often believe that Anzai is, in fact, sleeping. He has fallen asleep while meditating if we are being completely honest, but it is a rare occurrence indeed. Once, someone stepped over him while sleeping. Anzai is really prideful, despite his usual cool demeanor. Offering to help him go down the stairs or other friendly offers for help upset him greatly and, despite not losing his cool demeanor, you'll find yourself threatened by that same calm nature. In a nutshell, feeling pity for him can really work against you. "Even as I am blind, I can see far more than you." His mannerisms and calmness often lead others to believe that he is expressionless, or worse, emotionless. This is most certainly not true, but Anzai does manage to keep his emotions in check most of the time. This is because he understands and accepts all of his emotions, which has also made him able to tell a person's mood through the tone of their voice or what they are feeling through the beat of their heart. These two abilities, though, are rendered useless in battle as he cannot focus his hearing solely in his opponent, otherwise he'd feel he's leaving himself open. As with everything else, Anzai tends to keep calm and stoic even in the most heated of situations, making him both an intimidating and terrifying foe. 【History】 The long line of Katsuragi shinobi felt that its long tradition of warriors had come to an end when they discovered that Anzai, next in line to become the head of the small clan, was born blind. Not having sight, an almost indispensable tool in the trade of being a ninja. They thought all was lost were it not for what they noticed later. The boy could indeed see and his 'sight' could reach even further than their own. The Kekkei Genkai of the Kisaragi allows them to feel electric currents, but only when thrown in a jutsu, making it a highly defensive type of Kekkei Genkai that could only protect them against an specific type of jutsu. Anzai's blindness took it a step further. Anzai could actually sense the small electrical charges carried by electrons, and that permitted him to make an image inside of his head of what things would look like if he could see, and what made it better was the fact that his 'vision' covered a whole 360 around him. It was blurry at first, of course. Untrained and instinctive, the Kisaragi could not pass up on such an opportunity. Regardless of his shortcomings when he first started training, the Kisaragi finally were able to make an specially deadly and stoic shinobi out of Anzai, who could now see clearly after refining the use fo his Kekkei Genkai. Once he got clearance to become a Jounin, however, what followed were years full of frustration. Everyone looked down on him because of his blidness. They wouldn't allow him to participate in missions, and he would remain mediocre because the Confederation frowned upon physical demonstrations of power, at least between their own armies. The last straw was when his commander called him weak, and that he couldn't kill him even if he were sleeping. Making a live demonstration, Anzai went to the Red Sages dragging his commander's body by the neck. The commander was known to be a powerful but arrogant commander that had been hindering several of the operations of the Red Sages. He hoped that such a demonstration would be enough for the Red Sages to acknowledge his potential. Thankfully for them, they did. 【Family ties】 Anzai's family is filled with strong warriors, warriors that would risk their lives at the beck and call of their masters. So was the case with both of Anzai's parents, who died while he was still training. His only remaining (close) family is his grandfather. Kisaragi Youtsugi \| Grandfather \| 81, Kumogakure, Old fart too proud to retire from being a shinobi. 【Dreams and fears】 Anzai dreams of making his a powerful clan, one rivaling the Uchiha or the Hyuuga. Despite not seeing (pun intended) the allure of the intercourse, Anzai does wish to have an heir who inherits both his powerful Kekkei Genkai and blindness, horrible as it may sound. He thinks of himself as the next step towards greatness for his clan. An improvement over those before him and the true potential of their Kekkei Genkai. His biggest fear, though odd but logical considering his personality, is to be able to see with his eyes. He feels he'll lose his powerful KG if he sudeenly becomes able to see. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 A dojutsu without eyes. So many have described Anzai's battle style. His genjutsu skills are non-existant, perhaps because he cannot see in the traditional way, but his lack of skill in genjutsu is compensated by his skill in ninjutsu and kenjutsu. He keeps his sword concealed inside the cane he always carries with himself. His fighting style is one that prioritizes domination over the battlefield. If people ambush him, then he'll keep everyone at a safe distance through the use of his ninjutsu, and then engage each of them with his sword and finish them quickly. He's been called the Blind Assassin because he always aims to end his fights quickly, before his opponent can catch up on the several weaknesses of his Kekkei Genkai. If he is overwhelmed or has spent too much in a fight, he tends to retire as quick as possible and fight another day, despite his prideful personality. He is dead set on not letting anyone know of the weaknesses of his abilities, and will surely kill anyone who catches on on them. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Denkaku (電覚) Description: The Kisaragi KG allows the clansmen to sense strong currents of electricity, like those produced from a Lightning Release ninjutsu. Anzai's lack of sight, however, makes this ability extremely powerful, and allows him to sense even the small electrons that are around almost every atom, which allows him to make complete 360 images in a range of 10 meters around him. The KG also allows the Kisaragi to use an special type of ninjutsu because of the constant electric wave that surrounds them. Anzai's is neither stronger nor weaker than those before him. Strengths: Allows Anzai to make 360 images of the terrain he is in. Can dodge Lightning release ninjutsu easily thanks to being able to detect them from wherever they are coming. Due to the excited atoms of a hot body, Anzai can also sense Fire Release rather clearly and can sense even more clearly any individual with a high body temperature. Anzai can become a walking stungun by amplifying the electric wave going around him. If extremely concentrated and in only one individual, Anzai can predict their next attacks by seeing the electricity running through their muscles as they move. This, however, makes him blind to any other thing happening in his surroundings. Weaknesses: Being hit by Wind Release, the usual weakness of Lightning release, can either make his vision blurry or blind him completely, if the jutsu is strong enough(B jutsus and stronger). He cannot sense Ice Release or any body at Absolute Zero temperature. (Not necessarily a shinobi, could also be metal). Due to the lack of electrons in their atoms, Anzai can't sense gases either. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Lightning Release: Depht Charge Lightning Release: Walking Stungun B rank techniques: Lightning Release: False Darkness Lightning Release: Lightning Trap C rank techniques: Lightning Release Wall Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder D-E rank techniques: None worth mentioning. 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Lightning Release: Walking Stungun Rank: A Range: Short Range Description: Using Lightning Release, Anzai supercharges his nervous system after amplifying the natural electric wave surrounding his body and reversing it inside, but unlike A's Lightning Chakra mode, Anzai does not enhance his physical capabilities. The electricity surrounding Anzai also becomes visible to any of his enemies as small lightning courses his arms, chest and legs. Touching Anzai while doing this will result in an extremely painful and stunning electric shock, that renders taijutsu useless against him. While this does not actually hurt Anzai, it does leave him paralyzed for a long while afterwards, so he does not use it that often. The longest he can keep this technique activated is for 5 posts. Anzai theorizes that if his whole body was sedated and his mind wasn't, he could use this technique to move. He hasn't had the opportunity to prove this theory, though, and the fact that he still needs to make the hand seals makes it... kind of pointless. Jutsu name: Lightning Blade: Heaven Piercing Lunge Rank: S Range: Short to Mid Range Description: Anzai thrusts his weapon forward and, much like like the Chidori Katana of Sasuke, creates a highly condensated flow of Lightning release chakra with a range of 10 meters. Though it does not chirp loudly like the Chidori Katana, there is indeed a low, cracking sound that warns of its arrival, not to mention that when it hits, it makes the same sound as a thunder striking the ground as all of the compacted energy dissipates after hitting its target. It is compact and quite small, and its range falls short to other jutsu, but it is a jutsu that can pierce through mostly anything, unless faced with a weapon with flowing Lightning Release chakra or Air Release chakra. Thanks to Anzai's detection and skill, he can make the attack change its course as he wants, though not as many times as he'd like. After moving it three times, the jutsu disappears. Though extremely lethal as it can pierce easily through someone's head or ribcage in an attempt to kill Anzai's enemies, it really depends a lot of where it hits. Jutsu name: Lightning Release: Lightning Spread Rank: C Range: Long Range Description: A variation of the Electromagnetic Murder jutsu. Putting both of his hands on the ground, Anzai releases lightning in a range of 20 meters to keep his opponents away. Jutsu name: Lightning Release Wall Rank: C Range: Short to Mid Range Description: Using Lightning Release, Anzai erects (( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)) a wall with a maximum range of 10 meters, that can be extended to 20 if he places seals to help him keep it up. The wall is made up of violent electric bolts, making it harmful for anyone trying to get past it, whether they want to enter it or exit it. It doesn't seem to affect Lightning Release users as much, though. The only way to dispel it is to either defeat Anzai or, if it is being used at mid range, to take off the seals previously placed by Anzai. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Silent Death Weapon, tool or object type: Sword Cane Description: A sword hidden inside a cane that would otherwise be used to aid his walking. How it looks
51,113	1,381	20	1,221	49	Tanji Tsugiharu Somewhere overlooking a skirmish, Konoha Ame-Suna Border, Harvest Festival The situation was slowly spiraling out of control, more combatants meant more complications and risks, and Tsugi was the type of man to prefer his chaos organized. A heavy mist had cut into his visibility, making his useful rather hampered, what he would do for one of those special eyes the Uchiha or Hyugas have. He saw the Hyuga shove aside a Confederate Swordsman, yelling at him and Tsugi himself found humor in how despite the situation the pride of the big clans was put ahead of safety or efficiency. However that still didn't change the fact that from his vantage point the rising mist obscured the little arena that had formed, and would deny him from being useful if he stayed up there. Tsugi jumped down to get within throwing range of the traitor red-head still under the guise of the Hyuga's form as the real one duked it out in the mist, he meant to prepare some roped senbon. He turned towards the mist. He called his clones to reform around him mimicking his movements. He kept it simple, he simply threw out roped and belled senbon into the mist, he knew the Hyuga could see them and dodge as needed all the while Tsugi himself doubted they could actually hit anything in there, they didn't have to. He just needed enough to be within earshot of the traitors as he formed hand-seals for Illusion Bells. In war, there needs some sacrifices to be made, and if the the Confederate Swordsman and the Hyuga get a nasty ear ache in order to incapacitate the traitors and hopefully dispel their jutsus in the process, fine by him. He'd be prepared to follow up with poisoned senbons if the mist fell.	“I think he's dead -er, well, everybody else think he is, but now I'm not sure.” An unassuming man by most standards, not impressive or lacking in most aspects, just simply there. Short, if a bit rustled, brown hair, with a square face free of any scars or blemishes and average everyday brown eyes, in the academy you wouldn't really notice him in the sea of exceptional talent, but he gets by.Not particularly skinny, tall, muscular, just a healthy and acceptable male in his early 20's.

Tanji Tsugiharu has exhibited little to no extreme beliefs or jarring idiosyncrasies (which in itself might be one). The Confederacy has deemed him a loyal citizen of the state. He has a positive work ethic, follows rules and regulations to the letter save for the most exceptional situation (of which he has been disciplined and reprimanded as per the law). He is as kind and self-less as any bachelor of the confederacy is and is devoted to his position. 【Personality】 Rather mundane. Pleasant enough in many social interactions, and prefers to follow conversations rather than lead them himself. That said he has some good friends back in his home town and has made a decent few in his new post. Amicable to his clients, but oddly stoic and unfeeling when it comes to dealing with traitors and rebels. He prefers to spend his free time drinking with close friends in a quiet homely tavern or ramen shop, and has an odd fixation with karaoke. When off duty he spends his days with his small family back in his home town. In battle he is as serious as any good shinobi should be in those situations. He is selfless in his duty to the confederacy and has volunteered to be bait on multiple occasions on the condition that the battle ends quickly afterwards. When plans fail and battles are drawn out he doesn't panic too much, but 9 times out of 10 will opt to lead or support a withdrawal. "Live to fight another day." 【History】 Tsugiharu's parents were simple Chunin Guards with a Customs House on a major trade route, their duties were rather mundane and drool, but once in a while held excitement when travelers had disagreements with the customsofficer. The couple resided in a modest home after an unplanned pregnancy had made the two man and wife. It was tough going at first but the relative isolation and non-relevancy of the village made for a peaceful life, and they grew content and able with the new family. 14 years after the birth of their first son, and with much more financial stability the 2 deemed themselves ready for another son. The Tanji house lived peacefully for 3 more years until the dissent and turmoil of the Confederacy reached their village leading to a violent terrorist attack on the village's crossroads leading to their deaths. This left the 17 year old boy to care for his young brother, fortunately the Proprietor of the Customs House, who at that point was now an old family friend offered to shelter the 2 orphans until the 18th birthday of the elder brother who decided to not rely on the kindness of the Customs Master any longer. Such the 2 siblings lived in a shabby apartment the elder supporting the small family as a Customs House guard like his parents. He, Tanji Hamurato, would continue to support (and sometimes spoil) his younger brother as he took his own wife(Tanji Orimoto) and had a daughter (Tanji Ekka) of their own while was just starting high-school. Tsugiharu was an average student in his own right never excelling or lacking in any field or discipline. He was studious and forthwith at the academy but never went above or beyond what was required. His work as a Genin in his squad was also mundane sticking to class D and lower missions, in exception to one class C defense contract. Simply tasked with defending a local tavern from extorting thugs (non-shinobi rabble), the mission report told of the 3 genin having to deal with some thugs as the accompanying Jonin talked with the owners, but nothing really came out of it. However rumors that local gangster being rather jumpy, defensive and generally paranoid around small sounds and shadows circulated around the tavern's area. Come the Chunin exams though he displayed adept problem solving and leadership skills within his squad, but that might have just been in need rather than by ambition. He opted to remain quarrel-less and jovial with the other Genin and never really showed exceptionaltalent other than what was required to get through the trials. However it can be noted that during the elimination tournament that the young Tanji employed some rather harsh and quick measures using poisons, weapons and simple genjutsus to end matches before his opponents can truly pull out their trump cards. A good thing too, for the proctors had stated that if not for his "bag of cheap tricks" his opponents would have easily out-classed him had the fight dragged on. He was unceremoniously given the rank of Chunin, barely passing after having been defeated by the more Capable Genin that saw through his ruses in the final rounds of the tournament. After graduating opted to become a Contract work Shinobi unlike his family before him. He takes missions for the Confederacy as many times as he can, but seems to seek missions pertaining to the rooting out and apprehension of dissident and unloyal citizens and terrorists. Currently lives by himself in a modest apartment close to his work place. 【Family ties】 Lower-Middle Class, had some hardships for sure, but was never truly in danger of starving or dying of exposure. Such a life made Tsugiharu rather humble and soft-spoken. Hopes to keep up with his duties and occasionally visits his brother and his family. Tanji Hamurato \| Elder Brother \| (36), Kusagakure, Currently a guard at a customs house. Sanguine, always optimistic and smiling in many situations. Tanji Orimoto \| Sister-in-Law \| (35), Kusagakure, Housewife of Hamurato, Choleric, rather plain but has the charm of a country girl going for her.

Fears of losing his family to the dangers that is the enemies of the Confederacy. Combat reports. Has a quite odd fighting style and might be the epitome of "work smarter not harder." Picks and chooses his engagements when he knows the enemy may be taken down quickly and with minimal loss. This usually ends up with him or a squad-mate in grievous condition so long the opponent is taken out before unnecessary damage is done to anybody else. Such operations usually include him stringing together a myriad of feints, illusions and gambits to ensure the enemy can be taken down in one decisive attack by his squad rather than prolonged engagements. This unfortunately makes him rather sub-par when caught unawares. As such he is most delegated to planned attacks on high value targets to either eliminate, apprehend or interrogate 【Fighting style】 Some might call his methods cowardice but it has kept him alive. He employs the liberal use of clones supplemented by heavy use of false sounds and images using his specialized study in illusionary genjustsu. He chips away at his opponents using small thrown weapons like shurikens and senbons to keep his opponent on edge and unfocused. While his genjutsu gives ample distractions and false visions he also uses fine rope and bells tied to said weapons to create snares and distractions for the slim but inevitable chance that his opponent finally makes a mistake. When they do he delivers a powerful and dibilitating poisons through the same methods as above when the opponent finally opens themselves up to receive his limited supply. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 NONE 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Bringer of Darkness Technique B rank techniques: Demonic Bells: Phantom Sound Chains (Uses a Network of Tuned Bells strung onto ropes to create a melody rather than a flute) Interrogation Genjutsu C rank techniques: Earth Release: Underground Projection Fish Technique.

51,114	1,381	21	985	319	Nori Hisakawa Alright, the redhead should be fine now. I should go after the kekkei genkai boy, and just make clones to distract the-- His thought was immediately interrupted, his instinct of fighting in the mist having him swerve to the side, narrowly dodging Higoho's blow. A good attempt, and certainly a surprise, but the mist was his element, and Nori wouldn't bother with a jutsu that crippled him. "You can see in this mist?! ...I don't plan on playing taijutsu games with you, then." Nori leaped away again, keeping his distance. Being zoned out by haze clones, a Hyuga, a silver kekkei genkai pool, and that swordsman was getting to be difficult, and if his opponent could see in the mist, that was already two of his jutsu made worthless. He hurled his naginata at Higoho through the mist as a distraction, knowing the Hyuga could dodge or deflect it easily. Still it would hopefully buy him enough time to set up, clasping his hands together for the handsigns. "Water Release: Water Bowl!" he shouted, blasting a torrent of water at Higoho, his other hand making one extra sign. Try using taijutsu now, Confederate fool. Aquatic Bone Suffering...! If the blast hit, the Hyuga would be fighting with a part of his body that felt like it wasn't even there.	“Sacrifice yourself to do one good thing, or live on to do many? Think about it.” Standing at about 5'11" and weighing in at 150~lb, Nori is tall, lean shinobi, with an air of thoughtful relaxation about him. His bluish-black hair is trimmed slightly shorter than in the picture above, keeping the bangs out of his eyes, and the length in the back about halfway down the neck. His skin is rather pale, with sharp grey eyes, and slightly pointed teeth reminiscent of the Seven Ninja Swordsman of the Mist. Attire-wise; in battle, he forgoes a flak jacket, instead settling for a chain mesh under a loose, sleeveless blue shirt, black shin-length pants, standard issue black sandals, arm-guards, and his dark blue scarf tucked into the back of his shirt; a worn Kirigakure plate is attached to the end of this. Out of battle, his attire is much more modern; while he still sticks to wearing blue out of habit, he often dresses in semi-casual suit jackets, button-up shirts, slacks, and sneakers, varying to weather and situation as necessary. The only consistency is the dark-blue scarf, kept with him regardless of occasion. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Nori is an analytical type. Even in casual conversations, he will take long periods of time to listen thoroughly to what the other(s) have to say before replying, replying only when he has found something worthwhile to say in response. He's often relaxing to be around because of this trait; you'll almost never be interrupted or ignored, and especially those needing to blow off some steam will drift to him. The responses are where that line becomes less clear-cut. His honesty in his responses, and the depth he might go to analyze a statement, can lead to starting an argument that never needed to happen, or worsening an existing one. Not everyone likes hearing the truth. He doesn't seem to regret these situations, since the problem wasn't his fault in the first place. Some people think he's arrogant because of this aloofness, and they wouldn't be wrong. He'll become frustrated if people challenge his analysis, and even moreso if he happens to have made a mistake in his interpretation of the situation in the first place. Being such a good listener though, sometimes he has trouble starting conversations, or holding them. He doesn't really have the social drive to keep up small talk for very long, and he also dislikes having to talk about himself. It takes work for him to honestly feel like opening up to anyone, and he grows extremely uncomfortable talking about himself or his past. Which leads to a conflict of interests; if he can talk to you about your problems, why can't he talk to you about his own? 【History】 Nori is the only son of his parents, a non-shinobi father and a hunter-nin mother, in the unsteady Kirigakure village. With the years preceding the era of peace from the Hamajō Confederation, his mother was hardly ever home for the boy, constantly performing missions, be they for the village, or against its defectors. No questions asked has always been the terms of the Hidden Mist though, and so he simply smiled and nodded when his father constantly praised her mother as a hero, regardless of how dirty her job was. Even when she did return though, she never doted on him, unlike how he saw other mothers do with their children. She simply enjoyed the brief tranquility that would come between her missions as much as possible, and Nori accepted the exhaustion that came with his mother, the "hero." As he grew into his Academy years, he himself trained diligently in the Academy, to become a "great hero" like his scarcely seen mother, and succeeded; he was quiet, talented, and most importantly, obedient. What he also learned however, is how to be an outcast; children in times of war are never settled, and they found every reason to question why his father wasn't a shinobi, and tease that maybe his mother wouldn't come back this time. He simply let them speak and continued his training; his father did everything he could as a parent, and his mother was a hero. He didn't have the nerve to question them early on, and didn't care once he understood later. Even after learning of just what the job of hunter-nin entailed, well, it was just another grisly duty, and he would be more than willing to follow his mother's footsteps in that role. And then, during his graduating year at the Academy, the war hit a terrifying peak for Kirigakure--the destruction of the village. People scattered. Most died. Nori and his family were of the lucky ones; they managed to get out before the devastation, finding themselves heading north across the water to the Land of Lightning, and the new Kumo Province. For a long time, neither of them knew where his mother was. His father took up the task of farming, struggling to get by in the lackluster area. Nori didn't know what to do. He had been following in his mother's footsteps, but how could he join a military that let their home be destroyed and separated him from his "hero?" His decision would be solidified several years later, after the Hamajō Confederation had settled in. After the destruction of Kirigakure, his mother had been lost. She didn't know what had happened to her family. She thought them likely dead, herself being another lucky one, sent over to the Land of Fire on her most recent task. The loss of home, the loss of family...she ended up with some of the scattered armies, and eventually decided that she would fight against the power that couldn't protect her anymore; she joined the would-be Red Sages, and eventually got herself killed for it. Family connections were made. The Confederation came to his father's farm, looking for intel on the Red Sages. Neither of them knew anything about what had happened after Kirigakure, and after some extremely stern interrogation, decided that refugees fled to Kumo wouldn't know what happened to a traitor last seen near Konoha. "Traitor." That was the term that had solidified his decision. There had to be a reason; she had been a hunter-nin. Her duty: to track down rogue shinobi, the traitors. She had to know the consequences of becoming the hunted, so the reason for her supposed defection had to have some meaning behind it. He thought it over, and decided to continue her fight. His father never questioned it; he was a grown man now, and his decision was his own. He would join the Red Sages, and fight the real traitors. 【Family ties】 Nori grew up in a single-father middle-class household, with his mother visiting only once every several months during her time of service after she got herself off of maternity leave. He has no siblings. After the destruction of Kirigakure, he lived in near-poverty with his single father, and never saw his mother again. Naozumi Hisakawa \| Father \| 50, Kumogakure, farmer.

His fears are for his father being punished for having two criminals in the family, despite his innocence. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Nori focuses around genjutsu-based combat, looking to manipulate his opponents into a corner with various Water-style ninjutsu and weaponry--most notably being a naginata--before locking them down with genjutsu and going in to finish the job. 【N/A】 Bloodline limit name: N/A Description: User possesses no known kekkei genkai. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: B rank techniques: Water Release: Water Formation Wall C rank techniques: Water Prison Technique Water Clone Technique Water Release: Water Bullet Technique Water Release: Water Bowl D-E rank techniques: Body Replacement Technique Unsealing Technique Hiding in Mist Technique 【Custom made techniques】 Aquatic Bone Suffering Rank: B Range: Dependent Description: This jutsu causes all water created from a previous Water Release ninjutsu to have an extreme numbing effect to any skin in contact with it, extremely hindering the sense of touch, and in turn, making it more difficult to control the dampened areas. While the effect is immediate and intense though, it's reliant on how wet the opponent is; if they've been successfully dodging techniques, or happen to be in heavy armor, they likely won't be affected significantly. Likewise, managing to sufficiently dry themselves will remove the effect, and as with all genjutsu, if they are aware it's the illusion of loss of sensation, then they can mentally force themselves to overcome it if possible. The strength of the technique is its subtlety and range, the weakness being its ease of avoidance. Jutsu name: Water Release: Seashell Current Discord Rank: B Range: Mid to long-range Description: An audio genjutsu, in which the user releases a quick jet of water from their mouth onto anything nearby. Those hearing any noise the jet of water creates, such as its impact, will begin hearing only the noise they heard the genjutsu create, be it a splash on another body of water, against a tree, etc., essentially cutting off their ability to hear. In combination with the Hiding in Mist Technique, it can be crippling to have one of your other means of locating your opponent crippled. The strength of the genjutsu lies in it's simplicity of execution and subtlety. The weaknesses lie in the lack of physical hindrance; the opponent is not incapacitated in any other way, and it can be avoided by not hearing the initial noise, and the technique can be overcome with sufficient time/chakra control. Jutsu name: Kingdom of the Eastern Seas Rank: A Range: Short Description: The user clasps their hand at an opponent's throat or forehead while casting the genjutsu, after which, the victim will be under the illusion of being dragged to the bottom of the ocean floor; painful, crushing water pressure, asphyxiation, no light, and no sound. These effects persist until the caster of the genjutsu releases their hand from the opponent, or loses the ability to channel the chakra. The weakness of the technique lies in its extremely close range, especially so with the need to grasp something as usually well-protected as a head or neck. The strength lies in the fast effects and sheer intensity of the genjutsu, crippling all senses at once, incapacitating most in short order. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Customized Naginata Description: A 5 foot long bright grey naginata, with the bottom half able to collapse into the top to make it a more efficient weapon at extremely close range, as well as the tsuba consisting of a hardened rubber disk, to insulate electricity coming through the blade, knowing that his exclusive use of water techniques makes him quite vulnerable to an electric discharge. The coloration is exclusively for blending in with the Hiding in Mist Technique, to make the weapon harder to see. Okay, just threw it in over the post I had to "delete" before.
51,115	1,381	22	2,400	2,978	Tetsuba Zaisette A positive outcome, despite the missed jutsu. Nobody had really acknowledged Zaisette's presence from the looks of it, except for the water style user who only paid him a fleeting glance before casting a jutsu. "Hiding in Mist Technique!" Niro shouted, scattering mist across the battlefield in an instant. Zay flinched momentarily, immediately widening the diameter of his pool in response to prevent losing his vantage. That ninja was smarter than he looked, looking to escape as the odds for him and his loudmouthed ally hopelessly plummeted. The confederate shinobi overwhelmed them four to one now. but unfortunately for the haphazard red sage, his reflexive attempt to escape had actually handicapped him against the Hyuga's Dojutsu. In a few moments, it would also give Zay full reign over the a considerable chunk of the battlefield. With his palms facing the floor, he silently fed his pool with two steady streams of silver, stepping further into the mist. It wasn't long before the edge of his goo gently encompassed what he assumed to be Niro's sandals, revealing the red sage's positioning immediately. But before he could assail him, another disturbance upset his pool's smooth surface. That's when Zay realized something he should've noted earlier. He wasn't familiar with the Chakra of anyone fighting at the festival, and couldn't discern friend from foe with definitive results. One wrong move, and he could end up seriously wounding, or killing one of his own allies while this mist persisted, or worse, he could end up dead himself. Unthinkable! A moment later, he felt another presence upsetting the peace of his silver as it sprinted towards him and the other two shinobi with reckless abandon. It had to be that Hyuga. Those ripples weren't caused by that dancing idiot's fanciful, albeit regrettably refined mobility. Ah well, it didn't matter much. The Byakkugan could see through the mist, and at the end of the day, it would've been less effort for Zay if Higoho could drop the mist ninja first. Once his pool reached around the fourteen yard mark, Zay felt three more shinobi in his radius. One several yards behind him, and two near the edge of the pool, on his left. That made six shinobi in total, only two of which he could confirm as foes. Without vision, or some signal of who was who, he wouldn't be of much assistance in this bloody mist. As much as he'd wanted to sit back and hope for the success of his allies, the situation was too frustrating for him to bare. Just because the Hyuga was advantageous, it didn't mean anyone else was in this dreadful mess of liquid fluff. It was time for a new plan of action, one that helped differentiate between the chakra signatures in his pool. But just as he was about to enact his ingenious strategy, several small projectiles sank into the pool in front of him, around where Nori, Tatsuya, and the Hyuga were fighting. They felt like Senbons, and judging by the angle of impact, their owner was behind him. Was it the lone shinobi approaching his back, and was he an ally? Whatever. Zay lifted his left hand, pulling two thin, curved fins of silver up from his pool with a small amount of chakra on either side of his body. With a flick of his hand, the fins of silver appeared rigid as they overtook his height, and spun around his body like a liquid fan, pushing the nearby mist up and away with a strong, circular gust of wind. The immediate area around him was cleared in an instant, giving him vision of Tatsuya, Nori, and the Hyuga as well. "Water Release: Water Bowl!" Nori shouted. Zay sighed profusely after putting so much effort into discerning the water ninja from everyone else. His shouting would've given him away if Zay had just waited a moment longer... Following its initial dispersal, the mist continued to spread away from Zaisette, albeit at a snail's pace, threatening to leave the air around his pool cleared indefinitely.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 In a word? Lazy. His lack of dedication, and methodical lifestyle is simply a byproduct of his mental lethargy. Zay is capable- Far more capable than most would like to admit, but his motivation does not match his potential. When speaking on his terms, rested and free of responsibility, Zay's speech is refined, polite, and he is very attentive to detail. In most cases however, Zay does not consider himself very 'rested' and acts completely aloof, purposely insulting the intelligence of others, and showing minimal interest in serious discussion. His attitude often causes conflict between him and his peers, making his life even harder than he already thinks it is, and perpetually forcing himself into a downward spiral. That being said, Zay perceives life itself as less than noteworthy, quoted as claiming the human heartbeat to be 'The body's most monotonous chore' on more than one occasion. Questions regarding his history or opinions on the general status of the Shinobi world are often met with a ballad of anecdotal references, and depressing metaphors that tend to highlight the negative aspects of being alive. Due to his seemingly infinite disdain towards basically everything, most perceive Zay as an angst ridden peon who cares nothing of his friends, family, or own well being. However, nothing could be farther from the truth. Despite what his nihilistic charade would suggest, he's a particularly caring individual that places tremendous importance on not only his own well-being, but that of all living things, and more importantly, the freedom they are entitled to. There's nothing more important to him than the heart that keeps him standing, and by extension, the people that give it the courage to beat freely. However, Zay prioritizes himself over all others. He claims that he would never risk his life, even if it were for the safety of a loved one. Truth be told, his attitude keeps him from actually developing any strong relationships, and his known family has been dead for years. Still, he considers his allies precious, and will do everything he can to keep their hearts beating if it doesn't end up putting his own life at serious risk. One could infer that Zay purposely distances himself from others to avoid the responsibility that coincides with friendship and romance, but since he is awfully secretive about his personal affairs, nobody's really been able to pry a solid explanation from his stubborn brain-case. 【History】 Zay's life started off rich with love and wealth. Born in Iwagakure, he lived out his infant years in the care of his mother and father, both of whom had little to worry about, easily living off of the funds that Ikaette Tetsuba, Zay's mother, earned from her career as a Shinobi for Iwagakure. Sadly, as expected, his mother eventually found herself caught up in the conflict brewing between the nations, which ultimately put her family at risk. As one of the few breathing Shinobi capable of advanced, and more often than not, forbidden Jutsu familiar within the dwindling Tetsuba Clan, interest in her Copper Release's industrial capabilities grew, and her family would soon find their beloved wife and mother, missing indefinitely. Zay's father took it upon himself to contact Ikaette's sister, Tskia, asking her to take Zay far from Iwagakure, hoping that she would be able to keep him safe. News of his death quickly rose to attention not more than a month after Tskia's departure, and left the Tetsuba Clan with only two living members. Tskia rose Zay as her own, treating him as the son she'd never had, and teaching him the basis of his family's ninjutsu. Even so, Zay was one to question every minute detail behind the lessons he'd received. this often lead to questions regarding the Tetsuba Clan, and by extension, his parents. Of course, Tskia was never at liberty to reveal much to Zay, in fear he'd get himself involved in the wars that might've followed the last. Due to the secrecy that enveloped his training however, Zay didn't take to his aunt's lessons very kindly, and instead spent all of his time training himself in the art of silver Release with his aunt's wisdom as a very loose basis. When the conflict between nations ceased, Tskia was beyond relieved, quickly adopting the ideals of the Hamajō Confederation as they took to power, and bastardizing the red Sages for their naive outlook on the way society had 'evolved' so to speak. She tried her best to instill these beliefs on a young teenage Zaette, but unfortunately for her, he was not concerned with her thought process on the matter. Fortunately, that didn't mean he sympathized with the red sages, either. His neutrality would prove a trying obstacle for Tskia to deal with in the coming years, and it strained their relationship quite significantly. Tskia would become more and more loyal to the teachings of Hamajō, while Zay would become less and less concerned with the goings-on around him, or his aunt. On his 14th birthday, it became painfully evident that Zay would not play any major role in the fight between Hamajō and the Red sages. That's what his aunt would believe, and to this day, that hasn't changed. At the age of 17, around the time that Zay had achieved the rank of Chuunin, Tskia had fallen fatally ill, and was home-bound. Although it was difficult, Zay was forced to support both himself and his aunt on what little money he could earn through the few missions he was approved for. Ultimately, Tskia passed away, leaving Zay to fend for himself. On her death bed, Tskia told Zay of his parents and their fate, along with the history of their family. Although he didn't change the way he behaved, his aunt's death, and his family's history took a serious toll on his inner thoughts, and changed the way he looked at life, and death. Zay, without a mentor, continued to develop his silver release on his own. Zay now spends his time conducting missions as a registered shinobi. When he isn't on assignments, sleeping, or training his jutsu, Zay spends all of his time outside, walking outside city limits as much as he can. 【Family ties】 Zay has no living relatives to his own knowledge, but it's likely that some have survived to this day. Regardless, he doesn't care enough to look into the possibility. 【Dreams and fears】 "I dream of a world where everyone can lay their backs against softened grass, and gaze at clouds without fear of fire or fist" "Spiders are horrible, but they kill moths, and moths are a plague on my very sanity" Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Zay harnesses the power of his silver release almost exclusively. That is to say, he refuses to even acknowledge Taijutsu, Genjutsu, and most other ninjutsu as a viable option of combat. Zay is proficient at close-mid range combat, with limited long-range options. He focuses on a iron-hard defense to compensate for his lack of ranged options. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Silver Release Description: Silver release allows members of the Tetsuba Clan to mold fire and Earth chakra natures into a shimmering metallic liquid, hence the name 'silver release'. This substance can be used in a plethora of different ways using subsequent jutsu as long as the user's chakra remains infused inside of the liquid, but without proper concentration, it is impossible to do much more than move it along the ground at a snails pace. It is also impossible to control this liquid if it travels more than 15 yards away from the user. If any of this substance leaves the user's 15 yard radius, whether it is in solid or liquid form, will quickly dissolve into raw chakra. Users can also reabsorb this liquid to replenish their chakra pool with diminished returns. Due to these limitations, silver release users are not very mobile, and instead rely on the agility and durability of their jutsu. In use, the silver liquid acts as a base for several techniques. The most common application is consuming opponents in range and smothering them to death. It can however be hardened to create temporary weapons, large scale attacks, barriers, armor, and various mechanisms relative to the user's knowledge of the technology they are trying to mimic. More advanced users of Silver release can sense the presence of other living things within their pool as long as they are connected by a constant stream of chakra, coat their entire body in an armor that removes their sense of sight and hearing but makes them nearly impervious to physical assaults, temporarily patch wounds by fusing the liquid with their skin, heat the liquid to boiling temperatures, and in very rare cases, transfer their body instantaneously from one section of their puddle to another with a delayed reemergence. It's rumored that certain Tetsuba could create golden, Copper, and even mercury based liquid metals, but nothing has been confirmed, and their lineage runs so thin that it's difficult to confirm or deny such rumors. Members of the Tetsuba Family are known to have very pale skin, reflective white hair, and silver blood. These effects appear to be purely cosmetic and otherwise have no effect on their biology whatsoever. Tetsuba Shinobi Strengths: Ray's mastery of Silver release is exceptional, and it wouldn't come as a surprise considering he does not practice any ninjutsu that would not coincide with his Kekkei Genkai. At his current mastery, Zay can keep a constant pool of Silver going at the full 15 yards from his body for a considerable amount of time before it begins to strain his Chakra reserves. His mid-close range combat is unmatched in many scenarios, disallowing easy movement within his radius without immediate danger. His liquid can nullify most wind natured ninjutsu, protect against some earth/water/fire natured ninjutsu, and offer substantial protection from most forms of attacks when hardened en-masse. Zay's agility with his silver allows him to cast jutsu in quick succession, giving the liquid considerable agility when he is focused. Weaknesses: Without a ready supply of silver, Ray is practically defenseless, only able to conjure weapons and small short-range projectile type jutsu quickly enough to defend himself. Even with a pool at the ready, Zay is incapable of firing ranged attacks outside of his range effectively. His mobility with the pool is also very slow, and he cannot travel long distances without being encumbered by his jutsu. While channeling a substantial pool of silver, Ray requires immense concentration, disallowing him to move his body too quickly at risk of his entire jutsu falling apart momentarily. If he is forced to dodge, or struck by anything that would interrupt his concentration, any hardened liquid could instantaneously melt back down into liquid form, and any silver under his control will fall back into his pool, including any weapons or armor he's equipped himself with. Additionally, his silver is highly-conductive, allowing lightning-natured jutsu to travel effortlessly along the entire expanse of the pool as long as it is connected, or close enough to allow a current to travel throughout. Certain Lightning-natured Jutsu can also pierce through any solidified silver effortlessly, and even destroy portions of his liquid. Conjuring the liquid, albeit quick, also requires an initial Chakra dump that nearly drains Zay of half his energy. Additionally, Zay can only sustain a pool for about 10 minutes before he runs out of energy, assuming he rations his chakra sparingly. 【Ninja techniques】【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Silver Release: Forge Rank: D Range: Short-Medium Description: Creates a weapon or device based on the user's knowledge and skill either somewhere in a mirror pool nearby, or in the user's hand using newly created liquid silver. The weapon's strength is on par with average steel, and resonate with Chakra very well. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Constellation Rank: D Range: Medium Description: Fires an array of tiny silver balls from either the user's mouth, or from any point in his mirror pool, with a width of about 15 feet. These have the potential to break skin and heavily bruise upon impact, but are not usually deadly. Can travel up to 25 Yards away from the user despite his limitation, but once leaving the 15 yard radius, they decrease in power to a point of absolute worthlessness. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Mirror Pool Rank: C Range: Short-Medium Description: The basis of Zay's Jutsu. Creates a reflective pool as the user's feet that spread out quickly. Can be channeled to extend the range of the pool, or to absorb the chakra infused in the liquid with diminished returns. This liquid can be controlled with the user's Chakra while it exists. The user can sense anyone touching the Silver if they are within his radius, and 'feel' their chakra network. All attacks within range, liquid or solid, are considered part of the Mirror pool. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Boiling Flow Rank: C Range: Short Description: The user instantly heats up a section of liquid silver for a few seconds. Effect persists if the liquid is solidified, allowing for heated jutsu followups. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Tempid Mail Rank: C Range: N/A Description: Covers the user's skin in a thin layer of liquid silver that can be hardened at will with other Jutsu types. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Solid Wall Rank: C Range: Short-Medium Description: Raises a wall at any point in the mirror pool to intercept an attack. Fast, but not effective as an offensive option. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Solid Mail Rank: B Range: N/A Description: Covers the user in a thick layer of hardened steel. Blocks nearly all forms of attack, but blocks out the user's sense of Smell, Sight, And Hearing. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Tepid Flow Rank: B Range: Short-Medium Description: Slices forth with a blade of liquid silver from any point within the user's radius, with enough force to sever limbs. Cannot break through guards, but will not be stopped unless blocked in its entirety; Due to its liquid nature, it will simply phase around swords and small shields. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Solid Flow Rank: B Range: Short-Medium Description: Launches a solid spike from any point in the user's mirror pool. The thicker the spike, the stronger, and slower, the strike. Often used in quick succession to create multiple spikes at once. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Tether Rank: A Range: Long Description: The user coats his hand in a rubbery silver, with a higher concentration of chakra, and extends it into a amorphous whip, which they can then fling around for about a minute before it loses form. While active, this tether acts as an extension of the user's chakra network, allowing it to exist outside the normal range of the user's pool, and increasing their pool's range to be 15 yards from wherever the tether reaches. This tether can also latch onto targets, including shinobi, but cannot be detached from the user unless they cancel the jutsu. Requires a large amount of chakra to form. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Zay carries no Ninja weaponry, and prefers to create his own.
51,116	1,381	23	2,654	2,774	Ninko Hazuchi Ame - Suna - Konoha Border, Harvest Festival Ninko tried to keep himself inconspicuous , wanting to be seen by as little people as possible. Today was a festival and had a gathering of farmers from all across the confederation. That meant there would be a need for shinobi guards to oversee that nothing went horribly wrong or to protect the innocent people from an attack by the Red Sages. Ninko was prepared to take whatever measures he had to bring them down in case they attacked. His attention was drawn to the flare that was launched up into the air and he had his right hand firmly grasped at his sword. He reacted almost instantly when the militant Red Sages appeared and drew his sword. Ninko wasted no time in joining in the battle and quickly cut down a Red Sage by beheading him. He quickly jumped up onto the top of a festival tent to get a better look at what was going on and get a quick survey of the battlefield. Ninko heard one of his follow shinobi shout about protecting the civilians and even though he wanted to engage with more of the rebels, Ninko chose to go and assist the farmers and other attendants at the festival. Using his incredible speed he weaved in and out though the chaos slashing out at any enemy ninja that either got in his way or was on the verge of striking down a confederate shinobi. Once he made his way to some civilians he quickly escorted them away from the fighting and to safety. That's when Kanata used the hidden mist technique and the battlefield became covered in mist. Ninko cursed as he watched mist obscure his vision of what was going in that mass of chaos. His mind was in overdrive as he thought of what to do next. With the civilians that he had escorted now out of harms way, Ninko would have to do something. Even though many disagreed with his decisions, he chose to wait until the mist cleared and get a look on the situation. He wasn't too worried about the confederate forces since they had an uchiha and Hyuga on their side and if the legends of the two clans were true then they would be more than a match for a bunch of rebels. He wanted to go in, but he would have to wait until the mist was clear so that he could have more accuracy. An idea then popped into his head and Ninko decided that maybe it would be best to try and blend in with the Red Sages and gain valuable information about the group. He quickly removed any symbols of the confederation that he had on his clothing and then put on a cloak that he found abandoned by a civilian. His mind thought up a story to tell the sages of his defection from the confederation and his desire to live life free of the system. He would be a skilled ninja unaffiliated with neither organization. Ninko sheathed his sword and continued to check around the battlefield to see if any civilians were injured or need rescuing, he didn't want to engage in combat for the risk of ruining his plan. "I pray that this plan works because I'll be going into enemy territory" he said quietly to himself.	“My blade is only as strong as my will.” Ninko is not a tall person for his age and he stands at about 5'5 in height. Despite his small height, he has a very athletic body and his muscles are very developed. Many would feel embarrassed by having such a small height for a man, but Ninko prefers it and uses it to his advantage. He thanks his height for allowing him to be more evasive and harder to catch.

They originate from an unknown area of Kirigakure. 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Ninko is a very hardworking boy and sometimes has trouble slowing down and enjoying the little things in life. For him life is all about achieving one's goals through great dedication and self improvement. He is extremely loyal to his family and the confederation, both he would willing lay down his life for. Ninko is a traditionalist and views respecting one's tradition is more important than the desire for pure freedom. He believes that nothing is truly free and that society can only work through the rule of law and morality. Some would call him an authoritarian, which has truth to it, but Ninko just believes in the hierarchy system of the shinobi and that lower ranks should always respect their superiors and follow their authority. He also can have a bad temper if someone angers him and pissing him off is not a wise idea. Ninko is firmly against being a showoff when it comes to his sword skills and thinks it is always necessary for a shinobi to be unpredictable with his arts. 【History】 Ninko was born in Kirigakure to the Hazuchi family and his parents were Kirin and Ishira Hazuchi. He also had two siblings, a brother and sister. From the moment he could remember, his father taught him the ways of the sword, telling him the stories of his legendary ancestors and the secrets of the blade. When he was four years, his father began training him in the arts of swordsmanship and Ninko began his long journey to become the next legendary swordsmen of his family. Life wasn't all that easy for Ninko, despite coming from a famous family, he was bullied for his small size. He especially received a good deal of venom from the popular girl of the shinobi academy. Because of this Ninko had to prove to everyone that his size had nothing to do with his capability. After graduating the academy, his father gave him his own sword as a gift for moving on to the next stage of his ninja training. Ninko named the blade Longtooth and began to train himself in mastering his sword. As a genin his shinobi journey was difficult especially with the dangerous missions that Hamajō Confederation gave them and it was a battle for survival. His master was not a fan of being overly kind and wanted good results from his students. Thankfully Ninko made it through the genin stage of his ninja journey and eventually made it to the rank of Chūnin. Now older and more experienced in the arts of sword combat, Ninko is still on his way to becoming a legendary swordsman and making his family proud. 【Family ties】 His family is a very tight knit group and they go by the motto of 'Family is everything and loyalty is greater than strength' as their driving motivation as shinobi. Kirin \| Father\| 44, Kirigakure, jonin, leader of the Hazuchi family Ishira \| mother \| 44, Kirigakure, jonin Kino \| brother \| 16, Kirigakure, Chunin, very detirmined to become a great shinobi and Ninko's arhc rival Miki \| sister \| 18, Kirigakure , chunin, older sister to Ninko and Kino, easily annoyed by her younger brothers. 【Dreams and fears】 Ninko desires to become a legendary swordsmen and help maintain the legend of the Hazuchi family. He wants to be remembered for the rest of time for his great deeds and it is because of this that his greatest fear is to be insignificant in the history books. He also fears failure and of bringing shame to himself and his family. Combat reports. He is incredibly efficient and will not waste time before taking an enemy down. He has little to no problems following orders and has an intimidating presence on the battlefield. His speed is what's most frightening especially the swiftness of his sword, once that blade gets moving it just becomes a blur and he slices through enemies so easily. 【Fighting style】 Ninko's method of combat is swordsmanship and will only utilize other tools as back up plans when his sword skills alone won't cut it. Speed and agility are his main bases for his attack and his sword fighting style is a martial art created by his family, which pushes the swordsman to their full potential through sword practice and body training. Ninko has been taught to view his sword like a part of his body and to use it to its full potential. Ninko is also proficient in channeling his wind and lightning chakra nature through his weapon 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: none 【Ninja techniques】 D-E rank techniques: Clone Technique. 【Custom made techniques】 Wind God's Blade Rank: B Range: short - medium Description: Ninko channels wind chakra through his blade and slashes out with the blade. The swing unleashes a seven foot wide crescent moon shaped blue wave of air that can cut through solid rock. The technique can only go in the direction that it sent to and can be dodged. This technique can also be taxing on the user's chakra if used to many times. Blade Storm] Rank: C Range: short Description: Ninko unleashes a torrent of incredibly fast slashes at his opponent and it is meant as a way of unbalancing the target until they make a mistake in their defense and Ninko then cuts them down. While this technique can be used against multiple opponents it works best against a single target. Lightning Thrust Rank: B Range: short - medium Ninko channels lightning through his blade and then thrusts out with the weapon. The lightning then extends out at an incredibly fast pace like the blade is elongating and it pierces through its target. This technique is for a single target and is not very useful against multiple opponents. Flying Dragon Rank: C Range: short Description: Ninko leaps into the air flipping and comes down upon his opponent with great speed and power with a spinning slash. Dragon's Rage Rank: A Range: medium Description: Ninko is surrounded in an aura of electricity that takes on the shape of a dragon and this aura grants him the ability to move and jump at insane speeds. When he makes contact with an opponent his aura creates a powerful blast of lightning and he combines this with a stab from his blade to add to the massive about of damage. This technique ends the moment upon impact and the aura only lasts for about a minute before it disappears and the attack is gone so he has to hit his opponent within that time frame. It uses up a large chunk of the users chakra. Wind Release: Hurricane Mouth Rank: B Range: medium - long Description: Ninko unleashes a mighty blast of air from his mouth that is powerful enough to blow away several objects and hits opponents with a massive amount of force. This technique is his way of getting out of combat situations where he is getting mobbed by several opponents. Reaper Slice Rank: C Range: short Description: Ninko channels chakra through his blade to increase its power and he slices his opponents in their midsection. This technique is a large sweeping motion and can be used against multiple enemies. Defensive Zone Rank: C Range: short Description: Ninko focuses his efforts on defense and heightens his senses to deflect oncoming attacks with his blade. By moving at incredible speeds Ninko is able to deflect shuriken and other projectile weapon attacks as well close ranged melee weapons. This technique focuses entirely on defense and offers no counterattack options for Ninko, meaning that while using this technique he cannot do any offensive attacks. Finally this technique is useless against elemental ninjutsu attacks. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Longtooth Weapon, tool or object type: sword] Description: Longtooth is a style of sword unique to his family and is forged very differently from the usual blades used by shinobi. His sword is just as deadly in cutting as a katana, but also is better for thrusting attacks. The weapon weight exactly two pounds and the metal is incredibly tough.
51,117	1,381	24	1,663	1,134	UchihaAme- Suna - Konohagakure border, fighting Mikoto The Hamajõ Confederation Kaori swiftly realized something interesting: This boy wasn't weak and she was right, he was indeed a threat. If there wasn't a mist troubling her sharingan's chakra-seeing, she'd understand how to counter him better, but right now, she was only relying on her increased reflexes and perception to deal with him. He had ease blocking her attacks and was similarly fast in delivering a counter-attack, apparently aiming his staff towards her head, but not with the intent of killing her, so it seemed. Then, he began to speak while moving his staff dangerously close to her. "Hey, hey, pretty girl. How about we stop this foolishness? We are both too beautiful to be going against each other. We should just lay down our arms and go on a date together. You are still young but I'm sure we can manage. Otherwise, I'm going to be ahead of you." Now, listening to something like this in a battlefield was strange. Was he really flirting her? Right here? Was he even taking this seriously? No, there was no way he could. He was likely insane, thrown within the Red Sages by accident or another mean, an unfortunate disturbed man that got caught in the middle of war. Or perhaps, this was the Red Sages itself, materialized in front of her; a bunch of lustful, violent lunatics that fought for something they believed - even though it was fake in it's entirely, a fake dream implanted on their minds by their leaders, who's only ambition was power and once they achieved that, those poor lunatics would find themselves disposed in a deep pit. This particular fool would find himself disposed sooner than them, and by Kaori herself. She was determined now. With her blade, she swept his staff to the side while leaping back, in a single motion, she sheathed her blade, certainly she had done this countless times as it seemed extremely natural and fluid, the same way her hands did when she raised them slightly to form three handseals, in a flash; tiger, boar, dragon. The movement was so quick, that by the time she finished, her feet touched the ground after the leap. In order to finish the jutsu, she took a deep breath and expelled a gray smoke from her mouth - it divided in two, and each direction moved in opposite ways, only to reunite briefly after, forming a circle, likely around Mikoto unless he had moved. Then, the smoke ignited onto a fire, but it wasn't an offensive ninjutsu or anything of the sort - it was a distraction, and of course, a genjutsu. It was simple: The fire's heat would slowly induce whoever felt it into a genjutsu that made the heat increase, until it became unbearable. ... At the same time, a strange sound reached Kaori's ears. She couldn't tell what was it, but it made her head hurt, her vision became slightly blurry, even with the sharingan. Soon after, she couldn't see clearly at all, as if the world was having many layers of itself, becoming extremely hard to dintinguish what was it. What the hell? Have I been caught in a genjutsu as well? This is bad... Having no idea of what was the source of that and thus, no idea of how to deal with it, made Kaori fear an unexpected outcome. Her own death, for example. The sound was becoming louder, and her desire to break free from it was increasing as well - she looked down at her own arms, her motor skill slowly dimishing, making it almost impossible to raise her hand and attempt to flow an impulse of her own chakra through herself in order to break free. Is this.. the end?	Nero's Compendium! "Pillars are what support a structure, but if one ever crumbles, all of them will fall.” Yudai is a tall and somewhat imposing young man, standing at 5'8" \| 1,78m. His physique appears to be lean, but on closer inspection one could notice that he's in fact fit, with subtle musculature definition everywhere on his body. His hair is a dark brown color and often unkempt, as if he didn't care at all about the way it looks - this is slightly contradicting to the fact that his ears are pierced, which possibly proves that the boy does cares about his appearance. His pale blue eyes constantly flicker from point to point, rarely focusing on something for too long - some note that he always looks distant, as if not paying any attention to his surroudings. The Kanji on his clothes are 影山 (Kageyama, his family name). Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Kageyama Yudai 【Alias】【Affiliation】 Red Sages 【Age】 18 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Straight 【Birthplace】 Iwagakure 【Bloodline】 N/A 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Every aspect of Yudai, at least externally and from his appearance itself, seems distant. His gaze is a constant reminder of this, given the way it roams the whole time, briefly pausing on his surroundings before he takes interest in something else again. Even when Yudai is directly talking to someone, he avoids eye-contact entirely and if someone even tries to stare at him or look directly at his eyes for too long, he'll become rapidly nervous and anxious and might even avoid the person in question for a while. Otherwise, Yudai is relaxed, but extremely observant. His mind is constantly noticing what is actually happening around him and thus, while others might see him as distracted and distant, he's the opposite. He finds his own life rather boring the majority of time which prompts him to search for enthusiasm on other things out on the world. He's also easily interested in hearing stories from others, or even simply listening others talk about their own life. He has his own ambitions of becoming a highly respected political figure or leader, one day. But on the way the world is currently, he shoved such ambitions away and for now, he's only focused on strengthening himself. 【History】 Yudai's birth came from the love between Reiko and Kohaku - sadly, however, Reiko died due to complications at his birth. While the expected outcome was his father to put the blame on him and give Yudai the worst life ever, in order for this story to follow the traditional hero backstory guide, the opposite happened. Kohaku Kageyama was a hard-working man. He used to be a powerful shinobi many years ago, but lost his left eye and his right hand was completely destroyed in the same battle, thus leaving him unapt for battle for the rest of life. The loss of his wife could've disgraced his life forever, but instead, he found new hope on his newborn child, Yudai - the name 'Yudai' itself, was to show the man's hope of a hero, not for the nation, not for the world, but a hero that would save Kohaku himself from utter depression. Which Yudai indeed did. As any other child, he was very, very curious about everything and from the day he began learning his first words, he'd frequently ask his father about everything. Even about the eyepatch the man wore on his left eye, about the bandages around the man's right hand - and when the man began explaining about shinobi, about the wars.. Well, Yudai only became more interested in it altogether. Often, Yudai and Kohaku spent hours chatting about whatever, the subject leaped from how eggs were produced to why the sky was blue. As he matured, reaching the age of eleven, Yudai slowly began developing a strange desire to be someone who had a high position. Power. He wanted to be esteemed in a way that people would admire and respect because of his achievements in life. Of course, it was too soon to think about that, and Yudai was a mere child with an ambition bigger than himself. For now, the boy focused on studying and training. He had taken an immense interest in shinobi. In fact, he spent more time reading about chakra, taijutsu and ninjutsu than he spent studying the school's subjects, which was the reason he almost failed the year. His father aided him when he could, he gave his son clear training routines and made him follow them strictly. He felt immense pride in his son following the same steps as him, while the same time, was divided with the fear that he could end suffering the consequences of a war - like the man himself did. But, the thoughts that peace had finally settled in eased that fear. When Yudai graduated, at the age of 14, he knew exactly that his dream of becoming someone with high power was indeed his true ambition. You see, he received quite the praise for being a dedicated student - even if he almost failed in the past year, he dedicated himself the most to studying this one and got amazing grades, impressing his teachers and father. When they openly talked about him and his dedication, his heart pouded inside his chest with what he could only understand as recognition. Time eventually passed, Yudai grew into a fine - and very attractive - young man. He noticed that women around started to take interest in him, perhaps it was the pale blue eyes, but honestly, he didn't care all that much. Yudai did had quite a few cases with one or another girl here and there, but it never blossomed into a true relationship, he was that type of guy. In fact, the older Yudai got, the more he found his life... boring. It wasn't no one's fault, truly. It was just that his ambition - it was something that seemed far away from his reach, impossible - it was as if he could fight his whole life for it and yet, he'd never taste it. Finally, Yudai finished highschool. It was the same year that he also offically graduated to a chunin rank shinobi - and the year he finally took interest in his own life, even if only just a little. It all started with one group... the Red Sages. Initially, Yudai was very confused about his choices, when he heard about the group, many wrong ideas filled his mind. But, then, he shoved them away - for he knew in the end, that it was for his own best. You see, the Confederation might've been good for the countries, but it left no option for those who wanted to be something bigger or greater. They had nothing for those who wanted... recognition. In the opposite spectrum, the Red Sages were everything; he knew from the start that if he put his power, his will and his life onto it, like an investment, he'd receive what he wanted in return. He heard it - could be rumors indeed, but they were fulfilling rumors of rebels seeking something greater than an illusionary peace. 【Family ties】 Kageyama is an old and traditional family. The majority of it's members were shinobi, with exceptions. They are divided, with a minor part living in Iwagakure and a larger part living in Konohagakure. In Konohagakure, Kageyama were known for running a restaurant which goes by the name of Yama-Yama. Kohaku \| Father \| 38, Iwagakure, retired veteran Reiko \| Mother \| 34, N/A, deceased Shou \| Uncle \| 30, Konohagakure, cook Rei \| Aunt \| 28, Konohagakure, cook Sora \| Cousin \| 17, Konohagakure, attendant Rin \| Cousin \| 16, Konohagakure, waitress/chunin 【Dreams and fears】 Vague dreams that are rather difficult to understand, Yudai truly holds true to his desire of reaching a high position within society, one day. Not only that, he also dreams of becoming an extremely powerful shinobi, in order to ease his own path towards greatness. He fears of not being recognized, or being 'just someone else' - a faceless individual who has nothing, no respect, glory of power. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Yudai is balanced between taijutsu and ninjutsu, rarely resorting to weapons or ranged weapons. He's very intelligent and tactical in his decisions, as if he had read everything there was to read regarding shinobi (which he probably did in his early life). See, while he's quite strong in hand-to-hand combat, Yudai's first choice is to always analyze his opponent. He appears to be MUCH more experienced and prepared than he truly is due to the manner he keeps himself extremely calm, in any situation. To him, a battle is nothing too different from his daily struggle with life itself. Normally, his Doton ninjutsu is used as a defensive manner, instead of offensively. Thus, he'll always avoid ranged assaults with it. Sometimes, he'll use it offensively as nintaijutsu, but only if he finds a true opening to do so. What Yudai lacks is withstanding power. He might have defensive methods with Doton, but he can't take many hits - neither last too long in a battle. His stamina isn't the greatest, nor is his chakra pool; in most battles, he either needs to drop his foes quickly, or avoid in a way or another fighting after he begins tiring. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: N/A Description: Yudai does not possess a kekkei genkai. Strengths: N/A Weaknesses: N/A 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: -- B rank techniques: Doton - Doryūheki Doton - Iwayado Kuzushi C rank techniques: Doton - Moguragakure no Jutsu D-E rank techniques: Doton - Doryū Taiga Doton - Doryūdan Doton - Shinjū Zanshu no Jutsu 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Doton - Kotai no Hakai Rank: A Range: Short/Self - hand to hand range. Description: This powerful technique developed by Yudai himself allows him to concentrate his doton chakra onto his hands and arms, coating them with a solid earthly surface. This requires minor constante chakra usage, but it's not very taxing in the long run. What taxes Yudai's chakra sources, however, is the uses this 'chakra armor' has. When used offensively, Yudai can promptly force earthly spikes to surge from anywhere on his arms - fingers, hands, elbows, shoulders; thus, he make turn what would be an easily readed attack onto an unexpected one. Additionally, this also has defensive uses, meaning that when under assault, Yudai can place his arms together and create a defensive shield that protects him from assasults. This defense is powerful enough to withstand some ninjutsu (especially katon), but is ineffective against futon and raiton. The chakra coating can last for a long time if nor the offensive or defensive effects are used, but whenever Yudai chooses to use them, he'll be drained very quickly. Jutsu name: Doton - Jishin Rank: B Range: Long - a large circular area around Yudai (35m roughly) Description: Yudai does the following handseals: Bird, Dog, Ram, Rat. Then, he leans down and slams both of his hands at the ground, causing a large area around him to erupt onto a shattering earthquake, those standing around him will find it impossible to stand without falling - and falling, means taking huge damage as the doton chakra breaks the earth apart and makes them wildly throw about. The center, where Yudai stands, is completley unaffected. This technique might sound powerful and it indeed is, if used in the center of a village for example, he could likely destroy whole buildings easily --- but he'd be killed before major damage was caused, so this is just an example. Otherwise, agile shinobi who can leap and move far away from the area will easily avoid it. If Yudai is attacked or distracted, it will stop as well. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Can be a term, i.e 'kunai' or it can be a self given name, i.e 'Revered Razor'. Weapon, tool or object type: What type of weapon, tool or object is this? Sword, axe, kunai, knife, blade, tanto. Omit if the weapon, tool or object name already designates this. Description: Describe the weapon, tool or objects appearance, and describe it's potentials and weaknesses. tl;dr how powerful is it and what does it look like. Be reasonable. “I hate... ...

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Kaori is usually seen as a cheerful young girl who's still inexperienced to the world's hardships, but that's simply because of her manner of expressing herself; she's kind, even gentle to certain extent and isn't fond of conflicts, always preferring peaceful manners unless using force is an absolute must. That's not to say she's scared of fighting though, Kaori simply adores friendly spars and testing her own abilities- otherwise, she wouldn't ever take training as serious as she does. Despite her cheerful nature, Kaori is not exactly a social butterfly. See, she believes that being positive and keeping her spirit high is helpful to herself and to others in a way. However, it's very rare for Kaori to approach someone and talk openly, rather, she's quite timid and avoids talking unless she's talked to first and usually, being talked to makes her very happy. When it comes to her clan, the Uchiha, Kaori takes high pride in them. In fact, she believes herself superior but doesn't voices it - unless she gets too excited in a battle, to notice. She views the Sharingan as a gift, but only uses it in battle when she clearly needs it, given she has this slight fear of overusing or overshowing her doujutsu, especially in consideration with the events of the past that has led others to develop a distrust towards the sharingan. This same distrust, is what makes Kaori very cautious about talking to strangers, after all, there is still some prejudice against the sharingan specifically, given the events of the past, given the way things are - given the Confederation's actions against some of Kaori's brethren. Lastly, Kaori is very comprehensible and whenever she relates to someone, she tends to become very interested in developing a friendship. She has no interest in any sort of romantic interaction, after all, she's pretty sure she's not the one to gather that sort of interest, anyway. 【History】 Kaori's early life has been quite different than the usual. See, both her mother and her father are shinobi - both also very strict in the sense of pointing Kaori in the same direction as them: Which meant she was trained from the day she could walk. Kaori had two siblings, both boys, one older by a few years and the other, two years older than her. Their names were Kichirou and Keiji, respectively. Kichirou was an arrogant man, see, he had the Sharingan and that very motive led him to be, simply put, an asshole towards mostly everyone. Filled with pride beyond limit, he thought of himself as utterly superior - being a prodigy didn't help. Kichirou was way above the average when it came to shinobi, with only eleven years, he achieved the feat of developing a second chakra nature which was the reason he was then hailed as a genius. Kaori was only six when this happened, while Keiji was eight - he had just entered school. Usually, both trained together but Keiji was too focused at school, he had a peculiar desire of being an inventor or scientist - Kaori could never understand clearly - that draws him away from the training fields. This was frowned upon by her parents, more specifically her father. The man had this strange... desire to blindly follow the Confederation, claiming that the Uchiha had to be a strong clan in order to prove and... redeem themselves. Kaori would only understand that years later. On a cold night, a few days before Kaori's 7th birthday, a scene marked her forever. Through her window, she saw both her father and Keiji outside, having what seemed to be a small discussion. The boy held some books under his arms and was apparently refusing a 'gift' that Kaori's father was offering him - a katana. From the little Kaori could understand, Keiji tried to explain to their father that he wasn't interested in becoming a shinobi and that he believed there were other ways to help and be useful; in the end, all she could remember was Keiji being severely beaten by their own father while all she could do was watching. This forever changed the way she saw her father. War changes someone, truly. That was what had happened with Kaori's father, he was changed, molded by war. Perhaps he believed that it would happen again and wanted his offsprings to be prepared, perhaps it was something else, perhaps he was simply put, insane. Kaori never quite understand his fixation with training and becoming stronger, but what she could understand is that her oldest brother wasn't the only gifted Uchiha of this family, for that night, Kaori's anger and fear evoked a power hidden within her; she awakened her Sharingan. However, she never told her father. Instead, that motivated her to train more. It wasn't to please the man, no, it was to fulfill herself. Her older brother could be as arrogant as she wanted, but Keiji was always there for her, and she, for him. The boy returned to train with Kaori and for the first time in all these eleven years, she had beaten him - and very easily, too. The excitement and buildup of this whole spar awarded Kaori with a second tomoe in her left eye and brought immense surprise to Keiji, but he promised to never tell anyone. During school, all Kaori thought was when it'd end so she could return to her training; she wasn't a bright student, honestly, but Keiji who was seriously smart helped her a lot. When she was close to turning 12, her oldest brother was found dead within the village's borders. This utterly crushed the family, but specifically, Kaori's father entered a state of depression. He treated the whole family as if it was their fault and practically locked himself in his room for a whole year, very rarely getting out. During this time, Kaori had improved a lot. By now, she had developed three tomoes on her left eye, and two on her right eye. Her reaction time, reflexes and precision had seen a jump, and so had her genjutsu and ninjutsu. Her mother, a genjutsu specialist, taught her a few things which aided her. Keiji had been awarded a prize of best student of the year or something akin to that which Kaori never knew roughly in the same date Kaori's sharingan fully matured. The following years went by swiftly, Kaori trained and improved, developing jutsu of her own - while her older brother started working as a project analyst or something of the sort, within the Confederate. She received a pleasant gift from him on her sixteen birthday: A sword, Keiji guaranteed her that this prototype was much more resistant and that wouldn't break or melt easily as the many other swords Kaori had destroyed until now. He also mentioned that the sword was specifically made to withstand katon chakra - and lastly, he made Kaori an offer. To join the Confederate, given her potential as a shinobi. She thought for a while, truth be spoken she was quite afraid of becoming as crazy as her father, but the girl ended up giving a wild smile and agreeing with him. 【Family ties】 As an Uchiha, Kaori'll have ties with mostly any Uchiha, period. But they're all pretty vague apart from her own family itself. Takeshi Uchiha \| Father \| 53, Konohagakure, ex-Veteran, temporarily retired-confederate jounin Takeshi retired due to his trauma after his older son's death, he has yet to recover. Michiko Uchiha \| Mother \| 44, Konohagakure, shinobi - genjutsu specialist Kichirou Uchiha \| Brother \| 26, Konohagakure, deceased Keiji Uchiha \| Middle-Brother \| 18, Konohagakure, confederate project analyst 【Dreams and fears】 Kaori has yet to find true dreams and ambitions to follow. She's young and still looking for something to, well, follow. Maybe an ideal. Honestly, her fears are very vague, as well. She partially fears her own father, but her biggest fear is losing her brother Keiji, who has been the closest person to her since ever. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Kaori focuses on using Fire Release to dispel of her foes, burning them down, together with very efficient genjutsu provided by her Sharingan. She's experienced in hand to hand, but it's easy to tell her taijutsu is her weaker side - even with the added aid from the Sharingan abilities provide her. While Taijutsu is a weak spot, her Kenjutsu is noticeably better, as her movements with a sword are clearly trained and precise, especially given she can use her blade together with fire release in order to increase it's efficiency. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Sharingan Description: The Sharingan (写輪眼, Literally meaning: Copy Wheel Eye, Meaning (Viz): Mirror Wheel Eye) is the dōjutsu kekkei genkai of the Uchiha clan that appears selectively among its members. It is regarded as one of the Three Great Dōjutsu (三大瞳術, San Daidōjutsu, Literally meaning: Three Great Eye Techniques), the others being the Byakugan and the Rinnegan. Strengths: Kaori's Sharingan is fully matured, meaning that it has three tomoes on each eye. This means that when active, Kaori is granted both abilities; the Eye of Insight, giving her the ability to see chakra in different colors in order to distinguish composition and source, an incredibly clarity of perception, meaning that she can see even very fast attacks with some ease and she's capable of minimum predictive abilities, anticipating an opponent's next move or attack and lastly, copy jutsu - but only those she has the ability and knowledge to replicate. Secondly, she's granted the "Eye of Hypnotism", which means Kaori can perform what is generically called Genjutsu: Sharingan. While there are various manifestations and purposes of the ability, the better known one is to, through eye contact, suggest thoughts and actions to a target, coercing them to divulge information or act in a particular way, potentially without the target's awareness. In extreme cases, the Sharingan user can take complete control of the target's body, forcing them to do exactly as the controller wishes; this control is visually indicated by the Sharingan's design appearing in the target's eye. Kaori's ability with this is actually pretty good, a momentarily eye-contact with her Sharingan active is enough to put her opponent in a dangerous genjutsu. Weaknesses: The Sharingan is a worldly known Dojutsu, thus, everyone should be able to recognize it instantly. This makes the Genjutsu very hard to apply, as all the opponent needs to do, is avoid eye-contact. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: N/A B rank techniques: Katon: Gōka Mekkyaku Katon: Haisekishō C rank techniques: Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu D-E rank techniques: Genjutsu: Sharingan While Kaori is skilled to certain extent, she has yet to achieve a grand power-level with genjutsu used through her sharingan. In a brief eye contact, she can merely put her opponent(s) in a simpler genjutsu, that requires little to no effort to break them (if they know how to do so). If there is prolonged eye contact however, she'll be able to cast greater genjutsu. 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Ken Katai (Fire Sword) Rank: C~A Range: Self / Sword's Range Description: Kaori flows an intense blazing chakra through her sword's blade, coating the whole blade with it. The more chakra she uses, the more noticeable it gets given the sword's blade begins turning a slight shade of red - until reaching the maximum, a deep crimson color. The amount of chakra also changes the effects and their strength. If Kaori only uses a minor amount of chakra (C rank), the blade's cutting power increases slightly, the heat makes leave dents whenever it strikes another simple sword or iron object, if in contact with skin, it burn while it cuts. If moderate chakra is applied (B rank) her sword becomes denser and can cut through other swords of average material with some force applied. If it cuts, it will instantly seal the wound - preventing blood, but causing immense pain. With the maximum Kaori can achieve (A rank), the sword's heat raises it's potency to where it could easily cut through iron and even steel, as well as bones with ease. This technique, if applied on an average sword, would only last a few seconds at maximum potency due to how the chakra would also melt the blade it was applied to, itself, but Kaori can keep this technique up for as long as her chakra allows due to her own blade, which would be two to three hours with C rank, one to two hours at B rank, and only two minutes when it achieves the maximum heat (2~3 posts, depending on the time ICly). Jutsu name: Genjutsu: Burning Hell Rank: B Range: Medium Description: Kaori does the required handseals (Tiger, boar, dragon) while she takes a deep breath, then, she exhales the air in the form of a strange smoke that will divide and proceed to form a circle around a small area, before igniting ablaze. This fire, by itself, is harmless. However, if an enemy feels the fire's heat, they'll slowly fall onto a genjutsu prepared by Kaori together with this technique. The heat will increase even if they move away from the flames and they'll eventually increase to the point where it's unbearable, the opponent might try to take their clothes off, throw water onto their body, drink water - no matter, it will never work and the heat will only increase, eventually they'll feel as if every drop of water in their body has been dried and pass out, if the genjutsu is not broken. 【Weaponry, tools and objects】 Weapon, tool or object name: Hinõken Weapon, tool or object type: A katana. Description: Hikoken looks like a simple katana, with a red, beautiful handle. The sword is of excellent craft and it's blade is chakra resistant, allowing the wielder to flow their chakra through it - the blade is specifically repective to katon chakra, which is the reason it was given to Kaori. “Let's end this quickly.” As usual to Uzumaki, Naomi's hair is a crimson red, it's short - with two bangs framing her face and the back is spiky, styled per her own taste. She wears simple silver earrings on each ear and a thin black eyeliner, meaning that she seemingly cares about her outward appearance. Her eyes are a vivid green, intense and large, usually her most prominent trait when one looks directly at her face. She's always wearing a scarf around her neck, the color varies but she usually sports a mix of red, green, yellow and dark orange scarves. Naomi wears a sleeveless dark gray jacket with a simple light gray blouse underneath, a pair of red fingerless gloves that reach her elbows (the seals of her Kuchiyose: Raikō Kenka are placed on the gloves) and slate gray tight pants that are tucked onto a pair of black boots. Notably, the only visible color on the woman's figure is her scarf and her hair. Her figure is slender yet curvaceous, with notable curves adorning her body. Some satchels are seen; one wrapped around her left thigh, another on her right shoulder and a larger one on the right side of her waist. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Naomi is usually seen as arrogant and stuck up due to her cold demeanor and for being otherwise cool-headed. Thing is, she's not arrogant or stuck up, she simply takes being a shinobi as her life, in and out of a mission or task; she's focused, always, and eliminates any emotion that could possibly disrupt her performance. Considered cruel by those who are more sensitive than her, Naomi takes the death of comrades lightly, analyzing it often with 'the enemy was a better shinobi than him/her', this is not entirely true though, Naomi feels the death of a comrade as anyone else capable of feeling would, she just keeps her suffering to herself and hides it entirely. Being so cold and closed off emotionally, it's hard to befriend anyone - not that she wants to, anyway. Naomi doesn't cares about forming bonds with others, surely there has been an increasing trend of forming bonds within the younger shinobi, but she denies them completely. She also doesn't care about hostility, insults or whatever else, she ignores them completely and even when provoked, she keeps the same stoic expression she always has. In battle is where her emotions flow with intensity above her usual: The adrenaline makes so whenever she's hit, she'll smirk or grin smugly, whenever she hits something, you'll see the same smirk but much broader than before. The more fast paced a battle is, the more she'll enjoy it thoroughly and the more she'll dedicate to the fight. Still, it's very rare for her to exchange words with the opposing shinobi, given her self-control that's dominant even above the adrenaline. Talk about dedication, Naomi is very dedicated to her job as a shinobi - and well, to everything else. As one of her philosophies in life, which is to do everything you do the best way you can, she truly dedicates herself entirely whenever she needs to do something and despises those who's nature is being lazy and avoid hard-work. She also tends to despise those who are gifted with power that requires no true work whatsoever; an example would be those who possess the well known dojutsu (Sharingan or Byakugan). This is a bit hypocritical given she's gifted with the Uzumaki's clan natural strong lifeforce and chakra resources. She sympatizes the most with individuals who are similarly hard-working and dedicate themselves in something and may be willing to interact with them, but forming any close bond is practically impossible as of now. Commonly, Naomi spends a good portion of her day training and improving herself. Distracting her from that usually ends with a huff or a sigh, or any minor sign of annoyance that she'll allow herself to do. Still, she won't scold anyone over anything, ever - she's calm and collected, after all, not arrogant and stuck up. She's actually pretty fine with aiding others if they need so (with training or whatever else), even. She may be a bit self-centered and cold, emotionally, but she's not a psycho who's only emotion ever is adrenaline while fighting. To certain extent, Naomi is capable of being friendly, it all depends the mannerisms of whoever she talks or interacts with. Highly concerned with herself, Naomi fears death above everything else, despite her otherwise cold demeanor and the way she enjoys fighting. When an opponent is clearly overwhelming and above her skill level, she'll... fear them. Of course, trained to hide her emotions, she won't show it at all. This extends itself to allies, out of all the things she's ashamed about herself, the fact that she couldn't possibly put her life in risk in order to save another's is her 'biggest shame'. 【History】 Two Years ago. Naomi's eyes briefly flutter closed, reopening to look down at her extended right palm, a hitai-ate with Konohagakure's symbol resting over it, together with blood that was slowly being washed away by the rain. The girl looks up at the sky, raindrops mixing themselves with the tears that silently made their way down her cheeks. She closed her eyes again. Next to her, was a corpse - a female, with a pale white hair, she was clearly dead - with some blood under her, slowly mixing itself with the water from the intense rain. Suddenly, the kunoichi falls onto her knees, she's completely wet due to the rain at this point. Her palms rest against the ground, pressing the hitai-ate firmly against it. She sobs quietly, but only for a moment before taking a deep breath to recompose herself. "Is this what I'm fighting for? This is what the Confederation has to offer me? THIS IS PEACE?!" With her left hand, Naomi punches the ground with all the force she could muster in her current state. It does nothing. "That's the very least the Confederation will offer you, my dear." A mysterious voice. Masculine. Naomi instantly stood up and held a kunai up, looking around her in an attempt to find it's source. She couldn't see anyone, at all. "We, the Red Sages, we only retaliate against the Confederation's attempt to CRUSH us time and time again. We provoked a war, but only to reclaim what's rightfully ours." The voice, this time, was directly behind her. When she turned, ready to strike the kunai onto the man, he had already disappeared, or so it seemed. He was so fast, that she couldn't keep up with his movements despite how close he was. When she turned, he grabbed her wrist and twisted it back, forcing her to drop the kunai. At this moment, Naomi knew that whoever this man was, he was powerful. Her eyes widened and her breath fastened, she was fearing the outcome of this: Her death. "Do you realize? My only desire was to explain you why your friend lies dead at your feet. Why this system, this PEACE is nothing but a bold lie, explicitly shoved down the throats of all brain dead imbeciles that follow the confederation's tyranny out of nothing but FEAR." Suddenly, the man threw her hand back, grabbed her by both shoulders and shoved her down, forcefully throwing the girl onto the ground. As she looked up, directly into his eyes, he smirked. Those eyes... The Sharingan of the Uchiha, most certainly. And then, she feel in a genjutsu; not to torture, not to destroy her. It was a different genjutsu, that Naomi had never experienced. She was seeing through his eyes - it all, whenever it was a lie, it was vivid and felt real. It... was real. And she could hear his voice in the back of her mind, explaining in detail what she was seeing. The struggle and suffering you are seeing, it's product of the Confederation's corruption. Of it's failed systems, of it's members extravagance and luxurious life. While he explained, she saw it all. Robbers risking their life for a loaf of bread, farmers struggling with what little they had... Then, acts of tyranny; overwhelming attacks from masses of Confederation shinobi against small rebel camps and not only that, they attacked shinobi and average folks alike, even farmers that were simply next to the rebel's camps, all were destroyed, nearly instantly. Some rebels rushed to defend themselves, but were quickly put down; there was a prominent figure that stood out in the Confederate's forces, someone Naomi knew. Then, darkness. Everything became dark. (You may close the rainymood now, if you were so kind to keep it open in order to increase immersion) When she woke up, she was in a crude basement of sorts. Crude, but functional. Many red-sage shinobi moved from a place to another, some carried wooden crates, others were simply chatting about. When she sat up, she was approached by the same figure as before: he looked far less intimidating. There was some movement, people stood up and moved away - soon, she was left alone with him. And then, the offer was made; to join them, or be set free. Strange, weren't they carnage-seeking devils? The man naturally explained their whole cause. In the end, after everything she had seen through the previous genjutsu, she couldn't refuse. Someone had to stop the Confederation. At first, it was difficult taking such an enormous step that changed completely her life - and the majority of the red sages distrusted her presence as a whole, being previously sided with the Confederation. But, on her first missions, minor or not, as a red sage, she showed that she had indeed placed her loyalty with them. After being showed the truth through such a brutal manner, it was difficult not to. As a side note, this is only the chapter which explains how Naomi switched sides. She's currently secretive about being a part of the Red Sages, nonetheless. 【Family ties】 Naomi's family was healthy until the death of her mother, which threw her father in an enraged state; he then became increasingly harder to deal with. The man took his own life when Naomi was seven, that changed her forever. Aika Uzumaki \| Mother \| 39, Konohagakure, deceased at the age of 26 Itama Uzumaki \| Father \| 42, Konohagakure, took his own life at the age of 30 【Dreams and fears】 Naomi dreams of one day overcoming her biggest fear, which is dying currently and she wants to find a way to stop feeling fear as a whole, knowing that such emotion is a result of cowardness. Note that overcoming death is not, well, dying. She just knows that clinging so much to her own life as a shinobi is rather embarassing. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 With an enhanced life-force and vast chakra resource, Naomi is certainly not above keeping a constant offensive on her foes, only falling defensive if she's overwhelmed or outnumbered. Her speed, agility, flexibility and reflexes are impressive. She has trained herself to have some great precision with her attacks, as well. From a medium distance, she's dangerous due to her shurikenjutsu prowess and in close-combat, she's a force to be reckoned with. Long distance, she falls short due to the drop in effectiveness of her shurikenjutsu. She also lacks effective defensive mechanisms, relying on dodging and avoiding being hit to keep herself safe. Her endurance is solid, as any Uzumaki - so is her stamina. In drawn out fights against opponents of the same level as her, she might have advantage due to taking much longer to get tired. Due to her chakra being vast, she's capable of utilizing the Shadow Clone technique, often gaining an advantage on single fights. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu B rank techniques: Kage Bunshin no Jutsu Kuchiyose: Raikō Kenka C rank techniques: Kuchiyose no Jutsu D-E rank techniques: Kaifū no Jutsu Kawarimi no Jutsu Shunshin no Jutsu 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Raiton: Kaminari Yoroi (Lightning Release: Thunder Armor) Rank: B Range: Self Description: Naomi covers her body is lightning chakra, using the lightning to stimulate the her nervous system. By speeding up her neural synapses, she's able to react faster, and to push physical prowess to the absolute limit, allowing for tremendous raw speed. This, combined with Naomi's natural agility and reflexes, turns her into a fearsome opponent while active; it also enhances her lightning release techniques, allowing her to perform nintaijutsu moves and react to things that she otherwise wouldn't be able to. The chakra usage is not as intense as it looks on Naomi, given her vast chakra resources, meaning that she can keep this technique up for long periods of time. Wind techniques can shut the technique down, even if temporarily. This techniques does not increase Naomi's raw strength, only her speed and reflexes. Jutsu name: Raiton: Keikai Denka (Lightning Release: Nimble Charge) Rank: C Range: Close Description: Lightning Chakra is focused on Naomi's arms and shoulders, she'll dash recklessly towards a foe with immense speed produced by the previously activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode and attempt to slam them with her shoulder. This attack is simple all in all, but it's effective given the speed Naomi travels from her current position to her foes' position. If it hits, the opponent takes both taijutsu damage and the electricity might shock them for extra, yet minor damage. It may also cause minor damage to Naomi's shoulder, too. Jutsu name: Raiton: Kaminari Shuriken (Lightning Release: Lightning Shuriken) Rank: C Range: Medium, long with less effectiveness Description: Naomi produces three handseals (boar, dragon, snake) before taking a number of shuriken onto her hands and channeling lightning chakra through them, after she throws they'll gain speed and piercing power, able to break through minor earth release defenses. If they hit someone, the opponent'll receive a much deeper wound than they would to an average shuriken, and electricity will shock their body internally, causing weaker shinobi to fall unconscious if they're hit by more than five or so. Stronger nin could easily resist this, though. Jutsu name: Raiton: Kiyomemasu (Lightning Release: Cleanse) Rank: E Range: Self Description: A simple technique that functions with the same intent as the use of Kai to liberate yourself from a genjutsu. The difference is that if Naomi notices herelf under a genjutsu, she can simply do a single handed seal, producing lightning chakra of her own that enters her body and, if need be, even travels to her brain's vessel network and eliminates any foreign chakra that is trapping her under a genjutsu. The difference between this and the average method of leaving genjutsu, is that this technique acts faster and only a single hand is needed, if she's paralysed or restrained. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Many, many shuriken. Weapon, tool or object type: Shuriken Description: They are shuriken, sealed and ready to use in a random basement. They're likely summoned when she touches her wrists, the end. Weapon, tool or object name: Some kunai. Weapon, tool or object type: A kunai. Description: Usually kept in the pouches she carries with herself. Useful kunai. Weapon, tool or object name: Explosive Tags Weapon, tool or object type: An explosive tag. Description: They're explosive tags, but she only carries a small number of them to avoid accidents. Kept in a pouch on her shoulder. Weapon, tool or object name: Wire strings Weapon, tool or object type: Wire. Strings. Description: Usually used in conjuction with shuriken for unpredictable effects.
51,118	1,381	25	323	3,236	Umary HonmaInside the Compound, Inside a Barrier, Confederate- Undecided Umary listened to the sounds of battle as they came closer and closer. Only her training kept her from flinching at the screams. People were out there dying, horribly. Still she maintained her calm and took deep breaths not really listening as the Jounin of their little group was talking to the delegates. Until she heard her name. "...Honma will keep you safe." Umary blinked, obviously hearing something out of context. She turned and regarded her squad leader and he nodded his head but kept his attention on the delegates. With the five, they were able to maintain the barrier. But if it came down... Obviously he wanted Umary to take the Delegates away at that point. Which meant he thought they were going to loose. Umary turned her attention back to the barrier, her stomach churning. As a medic she was afforded certain things, including other shinobi helping her get off the battlefield. But having them lay down their lives for hers (And the delegates). Didn't sit right with her. But if she stayed she'd die. Umary took another deep bracing breath as they all heard people approach. "The Red Sages are coming in!!"Shortly following the words was an earth shaking impact. Everyone staggered, but was unharmed as the moment passed. The barrier stood. The Medic's hands were beginning to sweat. The battle was upon them. She made eye contact with the Jounin before pulling out her set of needles. She took a settling stance as the floor began to warp. The other four did the same. Noriko HonmaAt the Harvest Festival, Confederate Noriko took a deep breath to clear her chakra and looked at the felled men. Weak. Her mind mentally supplied. Since they were completely dead Noriko put them away from her thoughts and turned to survey the area. People were still panicking but another Shinobi was trying to stem that by herding them with... some ability. He didn't have a red sash so when he made his way to Noriko she didn't attack. Plus, he was helping civilians. Would you be willing to assist me in bringing these people to safety? While I can provide protection I am not much use in dispatching opposition at the moment and would appreciate your assistance. If you are willing please feel free to join us. Noriko's mouth curved up into a smile as he asked her for help, then proceeded to not wait for an answer. He had some balls. She didn't bother responding since he didn't wait but took up a position to watch the motley group. Which was a good thing because it allowed her to spot another shinobi looking at her. Noriko easily settled into a horse stance and raised her sword in invitation. The other would have to take the lizard. Noriko watched shuriken fly towards her. A corner of her mouth twitched upwards. With a quick movement she drove her Wakizashi point first into the ground and quickly made hand seals. "Katon!" Noriko said calmly. "Gōkakyū no Jutsu!" At the final word she exhaled fire, gathering it into a large ball. The fire ball would immolate anything thrown, including hidden objects. At the same time, Noriko retrieved her Wakizashi from the ground, ready. If anything came through her jutsu it wouldn't catch her surprised.	The Honma Sisters “Power has only one duty - to secure the social welfare of the People.” Noriko is the tallest sister standing at five foot seven. She has long red hair and green eyes. She's rather fond of eye makeup and usually adds something to make herself look more intimidating. Like the rest of the women in her family, she is built like a rectangle. She's flat with no assets to speak of. On the trade off she is very densely muscled. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Noriko is the serious sister. She loves life and enjoys being a Ninja. However she isn't as competitive as her youngest sister. Nor does she feel obligated to be a Ninja. It merely was the logical decision in her mind. After all her parents were both ninjas and it felt natural to her. Overall Noriko is calculating. She comes across as cold to most people, but that's just because she doesn't care about them. The only people she cares about are her parents and her sisters. Sometimes Noriko has problems determining right from wrong. Excessive from light handed. She also enjoys having power over other people. Though she does know that's not quite right. She also know if she's not careful she'll go down a dark path. When things don't go her way, she will get even at a later time. 【History】 Norkio was the first born of her parents. Due to her parents both being Ninja, they were hardly around. Because of this it often feel to Noriko being the parent for her younger sisters. This propelled her to mature faster. Still, her nurturing nature made it's appearance and she never resented mothering her sisters. With taking care of her siblings practically a full time job Noriko didn't have much use for friends. Instead she dedicated her free time to learning ninjutsu and taijutsu. When she was of age she joined the ninja academy in Konohagakure. She pushed herself a lot harder than her teammates and it caused a large amount of tension. For Noriko wanted to be a chūnin as fast as she could, but her teammates didn't. Eventually she ditched her teammates to join another team, Daiki and Ichiro, going to the Chūnin Exams. Out of the three man team only Noriko and Daiki became chūnin. This severed all good will between Daiki and Ichiro. However during the exam Noriko and Daiki became friends which quickly progressed to lovers. Still it wasn't meant to last. Daiki resented how much time Noriko spent with her younger siblings and left her. Heartbroken, Noriko swore off men and instead redoubled her efforts on her shinobi skills. One day soon she hopes to become a Jounin and lead her own team. Currently Cheiko is missing and Noriko spends a lot of time trying to look for her. 【Family ties】 Noriko grew up in a ninja family. Her parents were often absent leaving her the responsibility to raise her siblings. This created a close bond between her and her siblings. All the women in her family, except Umary, are very competitive and hate to loose. Umary and their father are extremely laid back and often get walked over by the stronger personalities.

It ends up looking like a miniature sun and is typically only held at bay for show. Then, given any cue, the user slams the sphere into the ground, causing it to explode with the power of pure heat behind it. The user is unaffected by this burst of power, but anyone within the radius of the blast suffers some unsettling consequences, such a major to minor burns, alongside the devastating concussive force it sends forth. This technique, by sheer strength alone, has even been known to crack boulders. The technique will also cause head-aches, blurry vision and shortness of breath due to the change in air pressure and density. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Wakizashi Weapon type: Short Sword Description: An average short sword.

Umary stands at five foot five. She has long light red hair that she usually wears half up. The barrettes she wears were given to her by her siblings, one each.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Umary is the cheerful middle child. She loves life and wants to enjoy it to the fullest. As the middle child Umary is often the last to be noticed. Sandwiched between two strong personalities she is often forgotten. But Umary often likes it best that way. She is often away from home spending time with friends. Because of this she was the most reluctant to become a Ninja. She would have rather not, but felt pressured it join. In the end she decided she could do good for shinobi. She is happy that the world is at peace. But the cracks in the peace worry her. Mostly her worries center around her sisters who are pulling opposite directions. 【History】 Umary was the middle child. Her earliest memories were of being taken care of by Noriko. It's strange, but her elder sister was always more of a mother to her. When her mother, Chou, actually began to be home for longer periods of time, it was an adjustment for all of them. At first Umary resented it. Her mother was a strong woman and often dismissed Umary out of hand because of her docile nature. Adding to her mother's return was the pressure to live up to their family's legacy. Eventually the desire to be loved and accepted drove Umary to becoming a Genin. It was at this point that her mother actually acknowledged her as a member of the family. Umary's time as a Genin wasn't the best time of her life. She spent a lot of time over at her teammate's homes and away from hers. In a way she was closer to others than her own family. It was during this time that she was happy to discover her abilities were like her father's. When she made the switch over to focusing on medical techniques life picked up. It was also in this same time period that her father returned from his missions and began to teach her his skills. Life of Umary was picking up. She had good friends. The love of her father. Noriko who loved her and Cheiko who was like a little puppy. With the help of her family she was able to pass the Chunin Exams. Ironically she was on the same team as her youngest sister Cheiko. As of the moment Umary is very happy being a chunin and has no further designs on upward movement. Still, she's using her connections to try and find Cheiko who's been gone too long. Though she suspects where Chieko went. 【Family ties】 Umary's parents were never at home during her younger years. Instead she was raised by her elder sister Noriko. When her mother came back home she ended up spending most of her time away from them and with her friend's family where she found nurturing environments. Because of this her bond to her family isn't as strong as her sisters. Though she loves her father very much.

She wants to retire in a small village and live out her years in peace. Maybe she might even marry a man who is a little simple and have peaceful children. Umary fears war. War in her family or war in the world. Both are equally bad in her book. She also fears death. Unfortunately for Umary she knows peace never lasts and her dreams will never come true and she will undoubtedly die in battle. Combat reports.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Chieko, as the youngest child, always feels like she has something to prove. She's usually quite grumpy and takes everything way too seriously. She's always getting into fights with her sisters or her teammates. She doesn't much care what other people think of her as long as they acknowledge she's the strongest in her family. Her fierce drive pushes her harder then her sisters. Her default reaction in battle it to punch it until it stops moving. The only one who can curb her violent reactions is Umary. Despite Chieko's unhappy disposition she loves her family very much. Her true goal is to protect them, though she'll deny it to her last breath. 【History】 Chieko was the last child to be born to her parents. Shortly after she was born her mother left on a mission leaving her to be raised by her sister. This lead Chieko to believe that she wasn't worth it, that she was weak somehow. When she was young her mother took a break from being a shinobi and took back over the household. Her father did not. It wasn't until she hit her teens that her father was around regularly. When he is home he spends more time with her sister Umary, who inherited his power set. Which Chieko resents. In her younger years she'd push herself to become better. Sometimes she'd vanish for days before returning with a new skill, be it tai- or nin-. She was always a challenging person. Always unhappy with her own skills and viewing herself as never being good enough. She ran Noriko around and tried her best to give her eldest sister white hair. During her absences Chieko saw first hand that the Confederation wasn't all knowing and good. She saw injustice and ended up joining the Red Sages. Despite being two years younger than Umary she became a Chunin at the same time. She will tell anyone who will listen that Umary only passed because she had Chieko on her team. Becoming a Chunin was a proud achievement in Chieko's book. And indeed, it was a proud time for her family. Her Eldest sister then challenged her to make it to a Jounin before she did. Chieko started to make a good effort on her goal. Until the day she left to official join the Red Sages. One day a few weeks ago she packed a small bag and left without a word. Even though she knew it would cause her family pain. But it was the only way to keep them safe. If they knew she defected worse might happen to them. 【Family ties】 Chieko was raised in part by her sister Noriko and her mother. Both treated her more like a student than a daughter. She always felt that they never thought she was good enough. She also resented her father for paying attention only to Umary.

She fears being weak and will go out of her way to appear strong, even when she's not. She also fears the day she will not be good enough and lets down those people who rely upon her. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 She prefers hand to hand combat the best. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Raiton: Kage Bunshin no Jutsu B rank techniques: Kage Bushin no Jutsu C rank techniques: Raikou Boruto no Jutsu (Lightning Release: Lightning Bolt Technique) Raiton: Yaiba no Jutsu (Lightning Release: Blade Technique) Hikuhiku Eda no Jutsu (Twitching Limb Technique) Denki Hifu no Jutsu (Electric Skin Technique) D-E rank techniques: Heki no Jutsu (Burst Technique) Seiteki Chikara no Jutsu (Lightning Release: Static Force) 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Heki no Jutsu (Burst Technique) Rank: E Range: Short/Needs Physical Contact. Description: An overall simple move that is generally taught to genin to assist in generating and controlling chakra for the sake of ninjutsu, the shinobi vents electric chakra from his entire body, causing anyone that touches or attacks him to receive minor electrical shocks and burns. Requires the user to not move while preforming this jutsu. Jutsu name: Raikou Boruto no Jutsu (Lightning Release: Lightning Bolt Technique) Rank: C Range: Medium/Long Description: A simple technique in concept and execution, in which the user performs the necessary handseals and then emits a short bolt of lightning from his or her hand. This is a simple bolt, akin to a fireball, as opposed to being a continuous stream. On impact, the target will suffer minor electric shocks. Jutsu name: Seiteki Chikara no Jutsu (Lightning Release: Static Force) Rank: D Range: At what range is this technique useful? You can measure this in 'long' 'medium' or 'short' but those are rather vague. If you want more depth, use a distance such as meters. Description: This jutsu utilizes electricity in order to create static electricity within the hands, this static electricity can have nearby things float to the users hands or repel things away with their hands. This jutsu is not offensive. It uses a lot of chakra if Cheiko wants it to be very strong. Jutsu name: Raiton: Yaiba no Jutsu (Lightning Release: Blade Technique) Rank: C Range: Short Description: This skill allows the user to charge chakra in the form of electricity in the palm. Then, the chakra eventually works up to the fingers, where a blade of electricity is formed between the index and middle finger. The blade is very thin, and depending on the user's chakra, anywhere from 8 inches to a foot long. It is around 2 to 3 inches wide, and it lacks a hilt. The blade is held between the fingers, but as soon as it is let go, the blade vanishes into thin air. The strength of this blade isn't as strong as a normal blade, as it is nowhere as dense or as heavy. But because the blade is very thin, it is capable of doing some major damage, if used properly. Jutsu name: Hikuhiku Eda no Jutsu (Twitching Limb Technique) Rank: C Range: Short/ Contact Description: After the user channels a large amount of electricity in to his hand, making the chakra visible, the user can attack a specific body area of his opponent and fire electricity into it once. Whatever area is struck the muscles immediately begin to constrict and twitch in extreme pain and causes the limb to be unable to move. Jutsu name: Denki Hifu no Jutsu (Electric Skin Technique) Rank: C Range: Short/Contact Description: Upgrade from Heki no Jutsu. Making a simple couple of hand signs the user makes sparks travel along their skin to power up lightning type jutsu's for 5 minutes. This move also makes it very difficult to make contact with the user for the danger of being severely electrocuted. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon name: Kunai. Weapon type: Knife Description: It's a throwing knife. Weapon name: Ninja Throwing Star Description: It's a throwing star.
51,119	1,381	26	925	1,132	Fagman The girl jumped back after pushing away Mikoto's staff. She prepared her next jutsu, but, as always, Mikoto didn't seem to be in a rush at all. He straightened his back and then moved his head to get some of his hair out of the way. "Well, it's your funeral." A genjutsu. That much was obvious to Mikoto. It was the Uchiha girl's genjutsu AND some other guy's genjutsu. There was the sound of ringing bells. Mikoto could think of one way to avoid the latter and he was about to bypass the former, but he needed his ears right now.... He made the signs for his High Speed Jet jutsu and then shouted, "Max output!" The waterjet coming out from both ends of his staff became even more aggressive and was clearly starting to destroy the metal plates. "Let's dance, then, milady. Dies Irae!" He extends his right hand to the side as he holds his staff on the left hand. After that, he bows down as if to about to start his next piece. He then straightens out and dashes forward towards the Uchiha girl. Flames or not, he couldn't stay in the middle of the genjutsu, even if the girl was ready to receive him, not to mention that he had to get out of the range of the ringing bells. He needed to make short work of the Uchiha girl with whom his charms had failed, not that it was anything new, mind you. After positioning himself right in front of Kaori, he would bring his staff down on the girl and across her chest after spinning it some in her hand. After that, and catching the staff on his right hand, Mikoto would follow up with an attack directed at Kaori's knees. His staff wouldn't last long, so he needed to stay close, no matter what the girl did or how hurt he was. He planned on settling it right that instant. "For the unsaved, the ardent flames of hell await." He chanted quietly. It was unsure of whether he meant Kaori or himself.	I want a cool name for where I keep my characters too “Who might that handsome guy in the mirror be? Ah, it's just me.” Meet Amatsurahashi Mikoto. A young man standing at 1.79 meters who probably spends more time looking at himself in the mirror than actually fighting. His long red hair made into a ponytail is probably the one with the best care in the whole army, even among the women. His fair skin has so many layers of creams and other chemicals that some men think he'll explode if there's some fire near him. His blue eyes have never been seen in another state than their almost always perfect one in which Mikoto keeps them. There are some rumors going around that say his eyes can't actually be that pretty alone, saying that they MUST be using contact lenses. He is so picky with his food and training menu to keep his slim, yet strong build, that many come to take his advice on how to take better care of their own physique. Amatsurahashi Mikoto, the man who spends a lot of time trimming himself and is actually not gay. That is the man standing before you. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Amatsurahashi Mikoto 【Alias】 That one not-gay guy that seems gay AKA Metrosexual. 【Affiliation】 Red Sages. 【Age】 20 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Heterosexual. Might be willing to change in the future. 【Birthplace】 Kirigakure. The Village Hidden In The Mist. 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Have you ever met that one person that just seems to sing everything when he talks? That's the kind of person Mikoto is. A lot of people think he is annoying, but he just shows no signs of changing. Ever since he was a child he's had one rule with which he lives by. To never change himself even if others want to change him. Always remain true to the desires of his heart. He is that kind of whimsical guy. He loves art, music and just about anything that expresses the true desires of the heart. He spends a great deal of time in unnecessary and excessive grooming. He also seems to vastly prefer the company of men rather than the company of woman. These are just some of the reason as to why a lot of people think Mikoto is actually homosexual. Mikoto is only really picky when it comes to women, not to mention that he isn't popular with woman either because of how effeminate he seems at times. Several of his close friends actually know this, and still like to tease him about that. Having sparked several misunderstandings, Mikoto has made an habit of introducing himself with his sexuality in his introduction line. Despite his love for his beauty, Mikoto is neither an stranger to fight nor is he scared of them. He is not a ninja just for show. Mikoto's will to fight is just as much, if not even more, than other ninjas. He will never run away, nor will he ever admit he is outpowered. That's why he believes it is wrong for shinobi's to only be after money and not to follow their heart's desires. He does, however, protect his face a lot more than any other shinobi does. His reason to be one of the Red Sages is simple; "Doesn't freedom sound like a beautiful concept to you? I'd very much like to see what true freedom is like." 【History】 What can you expect from Mikoto's story? Yes, he was bullied as a kid. Yes, he was beaten up a lot as a kid. No, he was not mentally scarred or traumatised by this. Mikoto actually fought back. He's never been afraid of getting his hands dirty. Though he's always been a dilligent student, more than once has he been scolded by his teachers because of how many fights he got himself into. During elementary school, he had to fight his way through bullies and smart-asses who thought he was nothing more than a sissy. It wasn't until he started going to junior high school that he discovered a better way to deal with bullies instead of fighting them. Completely ignoring them. Why, there's nothing more infuriating than the sissy you are trying to piss off completely ignores your very existance. It ended up either with the guys giving up and moving on to their next victim or them trying to beat up Mikoto, which ended up badly for them. Again. By the time he entered high school, Mikoto had created a reputation for himself. Never again did he have to deal with idiots trying to piss him off. Sadly, it was... boring. Extremely so. How could he ever relieve this boredom? Already studying to be a ninja and a Chuunin, and the Hamajo Confederation didn't seem eager to start a war any time soon. Then, what could little old Mikoto do to relieve his thirst for fighting? The Red Sages was the only thing that came to his mind. 【Family ties】 The Amatsurahashi family. Harsh in their ninja training, lax in their concept of what a man should be. Why you ask? Mikoto's father died when he was 4 on the way to the hospital when Mikoto's sister was about to be born. So, Mikoto had to quickly grow up and become the man of the house and so, he had no time to have his lunch handed over to him by some guys who taught were better than him. Not to mention he had an example to set for his sister. Amatsurahashi Haruka \| Mother \| 42, Kirigakure, Reitred Shinobi Amatsurahashi Kanata \| Sister \| 16, Kirigakure, Shinobi, Chuunin 【Dreams and fears】 His dream is to see actual freedom. To be able to see what it truly means for a shinobi to be able to be free. He'd also like to learn how to play an instrument, ANY instrument. His deepest and darkest fear is for all that is beautiful to him, including his family, to be taken away from him all at once. To leave him at the mercy of a world where nothing can no longer make him feel alive. Basically, being alive but dead inside is his biggest fear. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Many describe Mikoto's fighting style as refined and entracing. They say it is like watching him dance instead of fighting. Still, Mikoto's taijutsu is deadly and precise. There is no wasted effort, no wasted moves. Everything is made to be a beautifully perfect fighting style for Mikoto. Rhythm and tempo are the bases for his taijutsu style. He always tries to imitate a song playing inside his head as he fights, trying to match the timings of his strikes and the timing to avoid and counter-attack. Thanks to his being knowledgeable about several types of music, it is easy for him to change gears in the blink of an eye. He tends to use bojutsu, a fighting style through the use of a staff, when he thinks taijutsu is no longer enough to defeat someone. He usually combines bojutsu with ninjutsu to make an even more lethal style. He is more of a physical fighter rather than using ninjutsu and genjutsu. His ninjutsu acts more as a support for his fighting style and he tries to avoid using genjutsu, mainly because it isn't his best subject. His ninjutsu focuses on the use of water as a high speed waterjet to cut through things. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Doesn't have one. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Water Release: High Speed Jet B rank techniques: Water Release: Water Beast Water Release: Hiding in Water Technique C rank techniques: Water Release: Water Gun Water Release: Water Whip Water Clone Technique D-E rank techniques: All basic Academy E ones. 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Water Release: High Speed Jet Rank: A Range: Short Range, can only be use in hand-to-hand combat. Description: The user releases a high speed stream of water from their finger tips and envelops both of their hands in a water jet that can cut through just about anything. This technique, however, is as harmful to the user as it is to their opponent, and can only be used once in a fight to avoid further damage to their hands and/or weapons. Depending of the Chakra output of the user, this move becomes more powerful and becomes able to cut through harder materials. How much the chakra is being used also determines how long this jutsu can last. At minimum output, the Jutsu can cut through wood easily and can last about an hour (6 posts) without damaging the user's skin. In a weapon, it can last for a complete hour (6 posts) before it starts eating away at the materials of the weapon. At medium output, the jutsu can cut through bone, rock and even iron. The user can mantain it for 15 (3 posts) minutes without major damage to their hands. In a weapon, it can last for 30 minutes (4 posts). At maximum output, the jutsu can cut through just about any kind of metal standing in its way, though it won't be able to cut through chakra enhanced weapons, diamonds or crystal release jutsus. In the user's hands, it can only last for a minute (1 post) before there is major damage and in a weapon it can last for 5 minutes (2 posts) before it destroys the weapon completely. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon Name: Sonatta Weapon, tool or object type: Staff Description: A large white and black staff that is about the same height as Mikoto himself. It is made out of wood and has two metal plates at both of its ends, so it can withstand Mikoto's High Speed Jet Jutsu. “Yeah, I am that guy's sister. No, I won't get you a date with him. Why? Because he doesn't freakin' like dudes!” Standing at a not even surprising 1.64 meters and a rather slim and flimsy frame, it is Amatsurahashi Kanata. Like her brother, she has fiery red hair and blue eyes, but neither of them are as well cared for as his. In fact, her brother likes to point out the split ends her hair might have. Her hair is long and usually kept in a pair of twintails that reach her waist. Her blue eyes are big and have been called cute several times, by relatives and her mother, mainly. Her fair skin does have some cream put into it but not the ungodly amounts her brother uses. Like other men, she fears she might catch fire if she imitates her brother. Her frame is slim but well trained, as expected of any shinobi. The problem lies in her chest, something she has a strong complex about and what often makes others confuse her for a boy (given how her brother is). A teenager who'd like to put as much attention on her appearance as her homo brother, Amatsurahashi Kanata. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Unlike her brother who has 'shit for brains', Kanata is a lot more normal than her egocentric and metrosexual brother, if a lot more tomboyish than your regular kunoichi. But let's be honest here, what screams femininity more than a girl in a tight suit jumping around and throwing sharp things at others? Foul-mouthed by nature, full of hormones thanks to her age and Kanata's short fuse make her an adorable pack of emotions, insults, bad words and sarcasm all in one. She's known for not holding anything back, and this has gotten her in a lot more of problems than she's ever wanted to have. Her tongue moves faster than her brain can catch up, hurling insults at people she shouldn't piss off. She depends a lot on her brother Mikoto to get her out of such situations. An idiot by birth not by choice, Kanata has found herself in more than one tight spot both in school and in the streets. She often comments on how life wouldn't be as exciting if she didn't get in as much problems as she does, though. Add to all of this the fact that she has several complexes about her body and life and it just makes her the perfect adolescent with attitude problems. She just needs to run away and the pack should be complete. Among her several complexes, she's got a complex about her chest and an inferiority complex towards her brother. Don't try to mention her height or call her a boy either. Overall, Kanata is a short-tempered idiot with a big mouth AND some ability as a ninja. At least she knows how to fight AND when she should just run for it instead of fighting. "Live to fight another day. Those idiots will never catch me anyway, not with mighty homo Mikoto watching my back." 【History】 Unlike her brother, Kanata was largely ignored in her school years, all the way from elementary school it was just a big whole of... nothing. Have you ever seen your graduation photo and noticed a guy that is there but you never actually saw? If not, that's what several people thought after getting their graduation photo and finally noticing Kanata. Everyone expected big things from Amatsurahashi Mikoto's sister, only to be let down by the extremely pragmatic and sarcastic Kanata. Her existence mostly went unnoticed until she finally became a Chuunin. Pairing up with her brother and going out in missions made them a deadly combo. Finally, people started noticing Kanata and she wasn't sure of whether this was a good or bad thing. Well, she never really did have a lack of friends, she just was in that small group that mostly went unnoticed by others. Later she determined that it was bad. Real bad. They all came to her with words like 'Oh, did Mikoto have a sister? Never knew.' or 'Wow, to think you could actually do something!'. What came after those comments was most definitely not pretty. Having gained a bad reputation this time around, people started to actually avoid her. Well, her fame was short lived, and it was good that it was. 【Family ties】 Kanata's father died before she was born, so she only has her older brother and mother to rely on. While she is fond of and loves the two of them, she does find them, Mikoto specially, annoying. Amatsurahashi Haruka \| Mother \| 42, Kirigakure, Retired Shinobi Amatsurahashi Mikoto \| Brother \| 20, Kirigakure, Shinobi, Part of the Red Sages, "Full time homo" 【Dreams and fears】 She dreams of one day surpassing her ever so perfect and beautiful brother, or at the very least shake off the feeling of inferiority she feels towards him. Her biggest fear is not being able to go to the next One Direction concert living in the shadow of her brother. Also to be noted, she is scared witless of Mikoto's imminent death if he keeps doing dangerous things. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Never to shine herself but to give others the opportunity to shine, Kanata's fighting style is a purely supportive one. She can indeed defend herself in hand to hand combat, yes, but her true talent comes out when she is fighting alongside someone else. Her specialty are ninjutsu and genjutsu used to support a more aggressive battle style like her brother's. She intends to stall, hinder and trip her opponents at every step they give. Even if they are about to hit their mark, she'll make sure that what they hit is nothing more but an illusion she's made. Cunning and brains, not muscles and... more muscles, are what make her a formidable fighter. She uses water release, but unlike her brother, she uses mist and barriers to hinder her opponents. Her taijutsu is the weakest part of her fighting style as a whole. She can easily be overpowered by any opponent with more experience in hand to hand combat or otherwise. Her taijutsu is focused on the use of her legs, since her arms are more like sticks. She uses a combination of muay thai and tae kwon do to keep opponents at bay while she uses her hands to prepare her next jutsu. Kanata also tends to use submission holds against opponents bigger than her, in order to keep them from moving and to give herself more time to cast her next jutsu. Thanks to her being bad at taijutsu, she carries even more kunais than the average shinobi. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Thank God I don't need to fill this longass form 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Water Release: Water Heavens Convergence B rank techniques: Water Release: Water Formation Pillar Water Release: Water Beast Illysionary Mist C rank techniques: Water Prison Technique Water Release: Water Gun Water Clone Technique Water Release: Enveloping Mist D-E rank techniques: Hidden In Mist Technique 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Water Release: Enveloping Mist Rank: C Range: Large, it covers an area of 30 meters around the user. Description: The user, Kanata, releases mist from the tip of her fingers that envelops a wide are around her. It does nothing more, nothing less. Once the mist is out of Kanata, it does not take any chakra for her to mantain it. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Kunais. Lots and lots of them. Weapon, tool or object type: Throwing Kunai Description: Simple kunais in ungodly quantities. Makes you wonder where the hell is she hiding so many of them. “Calm yourself. I mean you no harm. ... Your heartbeat is starting to calm down. Good.” An intimidating man standing at 1.80 meters and a man of nerves made out of steel, Kisaragi Anzai. He's got short and spiky black hair falling right over his face. He uses a headband at the top of his forehead to not let it rub against his face, since he is pretty sensitive. Anzai's skin is dark brown, making for a perfect example of the trademark Kumogakure ethnicity. He's got gray eyes, but he always keeps his eyes shut. Unlike many cliché anime characters, Anzai actually keeps his own eyes shut because he is blind. His physique is quite buff and muscular, something that affects his diet quite a lot since he needs to eat a lot more than your regular shinobi. Despite his physique and Kekkei Genkai, Anzai keeps always keeps a cane by his side. The Blind Assassin, Kisaragi Anzai. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Kisaragi Anzai 【Alias】 The Blind Assassin, Anzu 【Affiliation】 Red Sages 【Age】 25 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Asexual/Bi-romantic (think I saw someone use the word hetero-romantic somewhere, so I'm borrowing the idea) 【Birthplace】 Kumogakure 【Bloodline】 Kisaragi 【Rank】 Jounin -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Calm and stoic are the words that best define Anzai. He's lived his life having to take calm and well-thought steps due to his blindness. It gives you more time to think, in a way. Everything he does is well-thought and meditated, even his jokes, which tend to be overlooked because of his monotone tone of voice. Because of his legendary calmness and his habit of meditation, many often believe that Anzai is, in fact, sleeping. He has fallen asleep while meditating if we are being completely honest, but it is a rare occurrence indeed. Once, someone stepped over him while sleeping. Anzai is really prideful, despite his usual cool demeanor. Offering to help him go down the stairs or other friendly offers for help upset him greatly and, despite not losing his cool demeanor, you'll find yourself threatened by that same calm nature. In a nutshell, feeling pity for him can really work against you. "Even as I am blind, I can see far more than you." His mannerisms and calmness often lead others to believe that he is expressionless, or worse, emotionless. This is most certainly not true, but Anzai does manage to keep his emotions in check most of the time. This is because he understands and accepts all of his emotions, which has also made him able to tell a person's mood through the tone of their voice or what they are feeling through the beat of their heart. These two abilities, though, are rendered useless in battle as he cannot focus his hearing solely in his opponent, otherwise he'd feel he's leaving himself open. As with everything else, Anzai tends to keep calm and stoic even in the most heated of situations, making him both an intimidating and terrifying foe. 【History】 The long line of Katsuragi shinobi felt that its long tradition of warriors had come to an end when they discovered that Anzai, next in line to become the head of the small clan, was born blind. Not having sight, an almost indispensable tool in the trade of being a ninja. They thought all was lost were it not for what they noticed later. The boy could indeed see and his 'sight' could reach even further than their own. The Kekkei Genkai of the Kisaragi allows them to feel electric currents, but only when thrown in a jutsu, making it a highly defensive type of Kekkei Genkai that could only protect them against an specific type of jutsu. Anzai's blindness took it a step further. Anzai could actually sense the small electrical charges carried by electrons, and that permitted him to make an image inside of his head of what things would look like if he could see, and what made it better was the fact that his 'vision' covered a whole 360 around him. It was blurry at first, of course. Untrained and instinctive, the Kisaragi could not pass up on such an opportunity. Regardless of his shortcomings when he first started training, the Kisaragi finally were able to make an specially deadly and stoic shinobi out of Anzai, who could now see clearly after refining the use fo his Kekkei Genkai. Once he got clearance to become a Jounin, however, what followed were years full of frustration. Everyone looked down on him because of his blidness. They wouldn't allow him to participate in missions, and he would remain mediocre because the Confederation frowned upon physical demonstrations of power, at least between their own armies. The last straw was when his commander called him weak, and that he couldn't kill him even if he were sleeping. Making a live demonstration, Anzai went to the Red Sages dragging his commander's body by the neck. The commander was known to be a powerful but arrogant commander that had been hindering several of the operations of the Red Sages. He hoped that such a demonstration would be enough for the Red Sages to acknowledge his potential. Thankfully for them, they did. 【Family ties】 Anzai's family is filled with strong warriors, warriors that would risk their lives at the beck and call of their masters. So was the case with both of Anzai's parents, who died while he was still training. His only remaining (close) family is his grandfather. Kisaragi Youtsugi \| Grandfather \| 81, Kumogakure, Old fart too proud to retire from being a shinobi. 【Dreams and fears】 Anzai dreams of making his a powerful clan, one rivaling the Uchiha or the Hyuuga. Despite not seeing (pun intended) the allure of the intercourse, Anzai does wish to have an heir who inherits both his powerful Kekkei Genkai and blindness, horrible as it may sound. He thinks of himself as the next step towards greatness for his clan. An improvement over those before him and the true potential of their Kekkei Genkai. His biggest fear, though odd but logical considering his personality, is to be able to see with his eyes. He feels he'll lose his powerful KG if he sudeenly becomes able to see. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 A dojutsu without eyes. So many have described Anzai's battle style. His genjutsu skills are non-existant, perhaps because he cannot see in the traditional way, but his lack of skill in genjutsu is compensated by his skill in ninjutsu and kenjutsu. He keeps his sword concealed inside the cane he always carries with himself. His fighting style is one that prioritizes domination over the battlefield. If people ambush him, then he'll keep everyone at a safe distance through the use of his ninjutsu, and then engage each of them with his sword and finish them quickly. He's been called the Blind Assassin because he always aims to end his fights quickly, before his opponent can catch up on the several weaknesses of his Kekkei Genkai. If he is overwhelmed or has spent too much in a fight, he tends to retire as quick as possible and fight another day, despite his prideful personality. He is dead set on not letting anyone know of the weaknesses of his abilities, and will surely kill anyone who catches on on them. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Denkaku (電覚) Description: The Kisaragi KG allows the clansmen to sense strong currents of electricity, like those produced from a Lightning Release ninjutsu. Anzai's lack of sight, however, makes this ability extremely powerful, and allows him to sense even the small electrons that are around almost every atom, which allows him to make complete 360 images in a range of 10 meters around him. The KG also allows the Kisaragi to use an special type of ninjutsu because of the constant electric wave that surrounds them. Anzai's is neither stronger nor weaker than those before him. Strengths: Allows Anzai to make 360 images of the terrain he is in. Can dodge Lightning release ninjutsu easily thanks to being able to detect them from wherever they are coming. Due to the excited atoms of a hot body, Anzai can also sense Fire Release rather clearly and can sense even more clearly any individual with a high body temperature. Anzai can become a walking stungun by amplifying the electric wave going around him. If extremely concentrated and in only one individual, Anzai can predict their next attacks by seeing the electricity running through their muscles as they move. This, however, makes him blind to any other thing happening in his surroundings. Weaknesses: Being hit by Wind Release, the usual weakness of Lightning release, can either make his vision blurry or blind him completely, if the jutsu is strong enough(B jutsus and stronger). He cannot sense Ice Release or any body at Absolute Zero temperature. (Not necessarily a shinobi, could also be metal). Due to the lack of electrons in their atoms, Anzai can't sense gases either. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Lightning Release: Depht Charge Lightning Release: Walking Stungun B rank techniques: Lightning Release: False Darkness Lightning Release: Lightning Trap C rank techniques: Lightning Release Wall Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder D-E rank techniques: None worth mentioning. 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Lightning Release: Walking Stungun Rank: A Range: Short Range Description: Using Lightning Release, Anzai supercharges his nervous system after amplifying the natural electric wave surrounding his body and reversing it inside, but unlike A's Lightning Chakra mode, Anzai does not enhance his physical capabilities. The electricity surrounding Anzai also becomes visible to any of his enemies as small lightning courses his arms, chest and legs. Touching Anzai while doing this will result in an extremely painful and stunning electric shock, that renders taijutsu useless against him. While this does not actually hurt Anzai, it does leave him paralyzed for a long while afterwards, so he does not use it that often. The longest he can keep this technique activated is for 5 posts. Anzai theorizes that if his whole body was sedated and his mind wasn't, he could use this technique to move. He hasn't had the opportunity to prove this theory, though, and the fact that he still needs to make the hand seals makes it... kind of pointless. Jutsu name: Lightning Blade: Heaven Piercing Lunge Rank: S Range: Short to Mid Range Description: Anzai thrusts his weapon forward and, much like like the Chidori Katana of Sasuke, creates a highly condensated flow of Lightning release chakra with a range of 10 meters. Though it does not chirp loudly like the Chidori Katana, there is indeed a low, cracking sound that warns of its arrival, not to mention that when it hits, it makes the same sound as a thunder striking the ground as all of the compacted energy dissipates after hitting its target. It is compact and quite small, and its range falls short to other jutsu, but it is a jutsu that can pierce through mostly anything, unless faced with a weapon with flowing Lightning Release chakra or Air Release chakra. Thanks to Anzai's detection and skill, he can make the attack change its course as he wants, though not as many times as he'd like. After moving it three times, the jutsu disappears. Though extremely lethal as it can pierce easily through someone's head or ribcage in an attempt to kill Anzai's enemies, it really depends a lot of where it hits. Jutsu name: Lightning Release: Lightning Spread Rank: C Range: Long Range Description: A variation of the Electromagnetic Murder jutsu. Putting both of his hands on the ground, Anzai releases lightning in a range of 20 meters to keep his opponents away. Jutsu name: Lightning Release Wall Rank: C Range: Short to Mid Range Description: Using Lightning Release, Anzai erects (( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)) a wall with a maximum range of 10 meters, that can be extended to 20 if he places seals to help him keep it up. The wall is made up of violent electric bolts, making it harmful for anyone trying to get past it, whether they want to enter it or exit it. It doesn't seem to affect Lightning Release users as much, though. The only way to dispel it is to either defeat Anzai or, if it is being used at mid range, to take off the seals previously placed by Anzai. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Silent Death Weapon, tool or object type: Sword Cane Description: A sword hidden inside a cane that would otherwise be used to aid his walking. How it looks
51,120	1,381	27	1,428	199	Masato Saruwatari At the Harvest Festival, Confederate Any relief Masato would have felt at having the kunoichi join his little brigade was quickly vanquished as he took notice of a large amphibian, he was fairly certain it was of the newt family but didn’t have the time to confirm that, bearing down towards his Shieldbearers and the civilians. In addition to the creature another enemy shinobi had made his appearance before them, throwing out a few shuriken from each hand shortly after Masato took notice of him, which were flying towards both him and the accompanying kunoichi. He quickly took a step back, standing beside one of his Shieldbearers, while at the same time flicking one finger on his left hand to the side. As his movement finished the construct he stood beside moved it’s shield to cover his body, protecting him as the shuriken which hit it shortly after it had been moved into position and fell harmlessly to the ground. With the immediate threat taken care of Masato turned his focus back onto the amphibian that was still charging them at a reasonable pace. His lips fell into a momentary frown as he realized that any course of action he could take would place the civilians under his protection at risk. Unable to hesitate for too long he barked out orders. ”Shieldbearers 4, 5, and 6 you are dismissed.” Following his command the back three constructs disappeared in a puff of smoke while Masato addressed the innocents still in the now half circle. ”As for all of you I suggest you run as fast as you can, find any shelter available. We will hold them off as long as we can.” As soon as they took off he focused his attention on his hand to confirm it was still bleeding before slamming it into the ground once more. ”Assassin, step forward!” Another burst of white smoke, this time coming from just in front of the three remaining Shieldbearers, followed his words. The smoke cleared quickly and revealed another construct, this one was completely unlike the previous ones as it was thin and covered from head to toe in pitch black clothing. As it appeared it drew it’s tanto from it’s back, spinning it once before waiting for it’s orders which came soon after. ”Assassin, kill or disable.” Masato’s words were ended with him singling out the amphibian with his right index finger. Without hesitation the construct took off towards it’s target, the speed that it was running at on par with that of an exceptionally fast chuunin. It closed the distance rapidly and began striking out at the amphibian wherever it could reach, typically the legs and throat. Regardless of whether or not a strike landed the construct quickly leapt away after delivering the attack, doing it’s best to stay outside of the creature’s range of attack.	Lost's Retinue of Surprisingly Not Stereotypical Shinobi. “There is nothing more satisfying than seeing your strategy succeed.” Masato is an average looking individual, he isn't one of those that could easily be picked out a crowd. He stands right around 5'9 and weighs 140 lbs. His choice of clothing also isn't unique, aside from the Chuunin vest that he wears at all times he is dressed in plain t-shirts that vary in color from white to slightly darker white and dark gray jeans. In colder weather he will wear the jacket that is seen above. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Masato Saruwatari 【Alias】 N/A for now 【Affiliation】 The Hamajō Confederation 【Age】 18 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Straight 【Birthplace】 Konohagakure 【Bloodline】 Saruwatari 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Masato is best described as a cool and distant individual, however this attitude is not a method of preventing bonds or anything related it was simply how he was raised. He is fully capable of affection his method of showing it is just dialed down more so than most. In his own way he is very passionate even if it doesn't translate well to the outside world. When talking about his family, chess, etc there is a distinct gleam in his eyes if one would look close enough. In line with his base personality Masato approaches negative scenarios with a level head, analyzing every thing that makes up the event before he decides what his reaction will be. While at first this makes him seem insincere, and even colder, this is not the case. He simply knows that emotions can cause one to overreact and does his best to avoid doing so. 【History】 To say that Masato had a childhood would be a vast exaggeration of the early years in his life. Before he was able to read his parents would spend the entire day reading to him, but they never read from children's books. Instead he listened to them read page after page of books written by strategist from long ago. His family had always been known for their intelligence, and his parents were determined to follow that legacy. As soon as he could read on his own his days were consumed by it, though the topics ended up becoming more varied ranging from mathematics to poetry. Once he entered school Masato excelled for quite some time, partially due to his parents tutoring him at home during this time. However when he reached the age of 10 and was given the chance to graduated it was pulled away from him. While initially the school thought it would be fine to push him forward they soon discovered that his taijutsu was not up to the task and he ended up having to go through another year of school before progressing. This set back discouraged him for a time, but this vanished shortly once his parents began to teach him their Hiden jutsu moveset. His last year at this level of schooling went by quickly as much of his time outside of it was spent learning his family's signature jutsu. While he had been at the top of his class during his younger years he fell behind a bit when he advanced to the next level, though that had nothing to do with the material being too dificult. More and more of his time was being devoted to his extracurricular studies and he simply didn't have time to do all of the work assigned to him. This naturally lead him to falling out of his position at the top but he did not care in the slightest, nor did his parents since he was progressing through their training at a rapid pace. He ended up graduating at the age of 15 and was promoted to the rank of Chunnin as expected. Since then he has divided his time between taking on missions and furthering his control and skill with his jutsu, with much more attention being given to the latter. 【Family ties】 He is the only child in his household and he has a very close bond with both his mother and father. The Saruwatari family are very close and rather reclusive, though this is mainly due to the fact that they enjoy activities that are typically carried out in seclusion and not out of a dislike for the company of others. Hatta Saruwatari \| Father \| 45, Resides on the Family's property on the outskirts of Konoha, Retired Shinobi Diao Saruwatari \| Mother \| 39, Same as above, Active Jounin 【Dreams and fears】 Masato wants nothing more than to contribute to his family's legacy and prove that he is worthy of doing so. Naturally his greatest fear is falling short of this and fading into obscurity or worse damning the Saruwatari name to the point that it is meaningless. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Outside of his signature jutsu moveset, Masato is inept at almost every aspect of fighting. When his opponent manages to close the distance and engage in close quarter combat he is forced to rely on dodging until he can intercept his opponent with one of his constructs. 【Hiden】 Hiden: Construct Army Description: Construct Army is a Jutsu that was created by the Saruwatari family many years ago. The user is able to summon a number of different constructs, the exact types differ not only between people but it also depends on what avenues of the jutsu the particular individual pursues. These constructs are in essence non-sentient summons that obey the user completely, though this obedience varies on a couple of factors that will be described later in each individual summon's section. While most of the construct types are discovered through careful study of one of the numerous scrolls that have been passed down every once in a great while a new one will be discovered, after which it is then recorded in either a scroll that has not been filled or in a new one. The constructs are controlled by either vocal commands, movement based commands, or a combination of the two. Strengths: While each type of construct has it's own strengths the universal strength of this Hiden is it's versitility. The individual strengths of each type will be described in their section. Weaknesses: Much like the strengths each type of construct has it's own weaknesses which shall be detailed in their area. However they also all carry a universal weakness and that is that they are completely useless if their user is unable to command them. This can be caused by either preventing them from speaking or moving. In addition the usefullness of the constructs can be hampered if the user's vision is effected, either by targeting the eyes directly or using the environment.. Note about the amounts of Constructs At his current skill level Masato is able to have complete control over a total of 6 C rank constructs, any more than that will lead to a degridation in his control with one exception which will be made obvious shortly. I will now list the total amounts of constructs he can have, including variations. These numbers indicate the max he can have while still retaining complete control over them. 6 C Rank 2 B Rank or 1 B Rank and 3 C Rank 1 A Rank Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Footsoldier Construct Rank: C Rank Range: Close range, must be within blade range. Description: The Footsoldier is one of the four basic constructs that Masato has, and of them it is both the weakest and strongest. This is due to the fact that it is average in all areas, while the other three each of a specialization. The Footsoldier is equipped with a simple katana and basic armor. It has decent defence against blunt force attacks while it is weak to piercing strikes. Jutsu name: Shieldbearer Construct Rank: C Rank Range: N/A Description: As the name implies the Shieldbearer Construct is a defense construct that's primary goal is to defend Masato. They come equipped with a large shield and heavy armor. This naturally upsets their movement speed making them the slowest of the base constructs. They have very high defense against blunt force attacks and reasonable defense against piercing ones, however either can destroy them if they land on an unarmored/low armored area though the piercing is more likely to do so. These areas are the same you would find in most armors, the joints, the neck, and the eyes. Given their defensive specialization they have no method of dealing damage. Jutsu name: Bombarder Construct Rank: C Rank Range: Close in the sense that they must be aligned with their target, but they can be very high above them. Description: The Bombarder Construct is the only one of the four basic ones that does not stand on the ground, it is also the only one that is not humanoid. Instead it is shaped like a small bird. Of the basic constructs it is the fastest but it also has the weakest defense needing to take only one hit in order to be destroyed. The Bombardier's purpose is to fly over the enemy and drop an explosive that has the blast range and power equal to that of a regular explosive tag. They can only drop one at a time and afterwards they have to go on a 'cooldown' in order to create another one. Jutsu name: Archer Construct. Rank: C Rank Range: Most effective at Medium range but can strike from Long distance with a decrease in accuracy. Description: The Archer Construct is the final of the basic 4 and it focuses on distance attacks with the use of a bow. It is the second weakest in terms of defense, though the difference between it and the Bombardier is very small. Unless the strike hit's one on the arm or leg it only takes one hit to destroy it. Each construct has a quiver filled with 25 arrows. They do not carry any melee weapons as they are designed to stay outside of the range of their target. Jutsu name: Drill Sergeant. Rank: C Rank Range: N/A. Description: The Drill Sergeant allows Masato to have an additional 2 C Rank constructs on the field without a loss of control. This means that if he wished he could use 6 Drill Sergeants in order to double the amount of C rank constructs he can use. However if the Drill Sergeant is destroyed he will lose that increased control immediately and will have to get rid of the extra constructs or risk disobedience. In addition he can only use the initial 6 Drill Sergeants at most, he can not use them to control additional Drill Sergeants. The construct itself is between the Footsoldier and the Shieldbearer in terms of defense, it wears no armor but is highly durable. It would take two blows that would be fatal to a human to destroy it, or 4 in non lethal locations. Of course this can be decreased to one if it loses it's head. Jutsu name: Assassin Rank: B Rank Range: This model requires extreme close range to be at it's most effective. Description: The Assassin is the fastest of all of his current constructs, while also by far the stealthiest capable of masking its presence from lesser skilled Chunnin down. It has very weak defenses, equal to that of the Bombarder, but it is highly skilled in close quarter combat. It's agility allows it to dodge and parry for quite sometime while it attempts to make an opening to land a killing blow. It is equipped with a tanto and dark clothing. Jutsu name: The General Rank: A Rank Range: Close range. Description: As its rank would indicate The General is the strongest of Masato's current constructs. While most of the other constructs stand right around Masato's height, with the exception of the Bombarder, The General stands at 6'3. He is equipped with a stronger katana than the footsoldier and armor that is equal to that of the Shieldbearer. His movement speed is still hindered but not to the degree of the Shieldbearer. With his armor and durability it takes seven solid hits to destroy him, but like most of the others this can be circumvented. In the Case of The General if he is his directly in the eye he will either be disabled or completely destroyed.
51,121	1,381	28	1,918	8,262	Tatsuya Kajiya-Terumi Tatsuya cursed as he cut through the water clone, the steam rising to envelop him as the rebel used it to help him perform a jutsu, and thus leaving him unable to see a goddamn thing, as well as gritting his teeth in annoyance as he heard the Hyuuga he sought to assist berate him for lending a hand. This was followed by someone grabbing his collar, and while he couldn't see the figure clearly, he could hazard a guess at who it was. It was proven to be correct as he was shoved to the side, the guy's voice causing him to grit his teeth in annoyance. As his anger rose, so to did the temperature of the ground around him as his Kekkei Genkai reacted to his emotions, but before it could get out of hand, he took a deep breath to calm himself. Taking stock of his surroundings, he noticed two things:a strange silver liquid flowing by his feet and a increasingly painful and distracting ringing in his ears. He ignored the first thing for now, immediately surging his chakra in an attempt to cancel this in case it was a genjutsu. When that proved successful, he looked down at the strange stuff at his feet, wondering if this was the work of the enemy or one of his allies. This question was soon to be answered as a sudden gust cleared the mist in the immediate area, giving him a view of his previous target engaging the Hyuuga a short ways off. Looking towards the source of the gust, he saw a white haired shinobi, a Confederate he assumed due to the lack of a red armband, manipulating the silver substance he was standing in to great a sort of fan or something. He then turned his attention towards the fight between the Hyuuga and the Red Sage, before deciding that he'd give the asshole what he wanted, as he seemed capable enough that with the other confederate shinobi around, he should be more than fine. Tatsuya moved over to the guy, deciding to give him some need info. "Hey, name's Tatsuya and I'm going to hazard a guess in thinking that you're responsible for all this silver stuff on the ground." Tatsuya said, keeping an eye out in case anybody else showed up to join this clusterfuck. He could hear the clang of metal against metal in the mist, but didn't want to risk losing his head by rushing in without a plan. "Do you have any idea where people are in this stuff, or is it just for manipulation? If the former, I'd like to get at least a general idea of where that one rebel that the Hyuuga asshole was fighting currently is." While Tatsuya was taking a more conservative approach to this battle, his clone would pop out from the ground outside of the mist, taking a moment to orient itself by looking around, deciding on the next course of action. It had been waiting for Tatsuya to give the signal to launch it's attack, a quick double tap on the ground with his foot, but the field had become so chaotjc it would've been impossible to tell. So, the clone had decided to leave the area and see of there was anything else it could do besides suffocate underground. (We need to come up with a better system for this.) While it knew that it should go into the mist to help out the original, that would also probably lead to it's death, as it had no idea how to maneuver well in the dense cloud. Not liking the idea of dying without accomplishing something useful, it turned it's attention towards the rest of the battlefield, noticing another cloud of mist(Nope), a lizard attacking a confederate shinobi and some weird looking warriors(Meh, he's probably got that handled, and rebel who was currently being targeted by a fireball thanks to another Confederate shinobi(Hmmm). The clone tapped his head, trying to figure out the best course of action to get the most out of his admittedly worthless existence, before snapping his fingers in glee. It sank back into the ground, rushing first over towards where the one kid was fighting the lizard. Instead of rising from the ground however, it activated its Lava Creation jutsu directly under the beast, hoping to either kill or hinder it by turning the ground underneath the it into a pool of hot lava, before heading off towards the rebel ninja, blasting up from the ground a short ways behind him with a grin on its face as they appeared. "Hey ya fuckin' rebel scum, eat shit! Yoton: Lava Spray!" It called out as it ran through a string of handseals, taking a deep breath before launching out a jet of hot magma at the foe. After that, not expecting to survive for much longer, the clone would pull out 4 explosive tags and attach them to it's body, lighting them as it once more sunk into the ground, rushing towards the rebel(or his melted corpse, if he was lucky), only to leap up right in front of them with a 'Surprise!' and end it's short life with an impressive bang. After this series of events, Tatsuya would receive the memories of his clone, his eye twitching a little bit in annoyance at himself. Why is it that whenever I use this stupid jutsu, my clones never seem to come out alright in the head. Seriously, what the fuck? Akio Tendou As Akio followed the leader with a sharp eye, she clicked her teeth as she noticed a dense mist suddenly begin to form. Not wanting to waste the chance to do some damage, she switched the arrow to a homing shot and let loose the bolt, the one bolt soon splitting into three as they raced towards the silver haired woman. Akio was quick to follow it up by throwing several Kunai into the mist with Explosive tags attached, aiming to disrupt the troops around the building and give them something else to focus on besides the barrier. After that, she'd turn her attention towards the rest of the battlefield, taking a few more shots at several rebel shinobi that were currently engaged with confederate shinobi, including Nori and Arima. After that, she'd cancel the Thunder Bow and leap to the ground, not wanting to stay in one place any longer than she already had. Once she landed, she'd draw her Tanto and race across the battlefield towards the government building, cutting down a few rebels that got in her way with little trouble. Once there, she scale up the walls all the way to the top of the building, gaining a vantage point above the mist to ready herself and overlook the area, summoning her bow again and drawing it back for another charged shot. She wasn't sure if her last one had connected at all, so it never hurt to be prepared.	Name: Katon: Phoenix Egg Bomb(Subject to change) Rank: A Range: Mid Description: After making the needed hand seals, Akio conjures up a concentrated inferno of blazing heat, focusing it over her palm. It'll take a post for this jutsu to charge up, but when it does the flames will take on a egg-like shape as Akio thrusts her hand out to launch it at her foes. Upon impact with an object, the egg will explode with a huge amount of force and intense white hot heat. The radius of the explosion would be somewhere between 5-10m, though the intense heat can be felt from much farther away, burning skin, drying up moisture in the air, and causing fatigue through dehydration if an enemy is caught near the edge of the blast. The explosion itself takes the form of a phoenix rising high into the sky. The flames that the explosion created will stay for about 2 posts, however, the heat lessening by a great deal until it finally fizzes out. At this point, Aoi can use this jutsu with little strain, upping her usage to about 6 times before it starts to take it's toll. Seiteki Suji no Jutsu (Static Strings Technique) Rank:D Description: This skill allows the user to create strings of electricity that can either act physically as strings, or as a medium that can send small shocks to an opponent. One of this technique's most useful features is its ability to allow the user to detect outsiders. When the strings are placed around an area, they are often fairly difficult to see, and unnoticed by the quick eye. But when the string is used to detect outsiders, they can adapt a quality that is string-like and electrical at the same time. This quality makes the static strings into a string of electricity, but with such a weak current that it is rarely noticed by Shinobi who accidentally walk through the strings. However, when this happens, the user at once will feel a small shock in their fingers, or where ever else they are keeping the strings intact. But unless the opponent felt the weak current as they walked through the strings, the opponent will usually never know the strings were there. But beyond its ability to detect outsiders, this skill can be used as a normal string when it is needed but none is around, or it can be used to create small shocks to other people. However, the shocks are only a little bit stronger than static electricity, and usually do no damage at all. Jutsu Name: Raiton: Thunder Bow Rank B Range Mid to Long Can be fired at a target up to a 100m away Description: Akio forms a bow out of lightning chakra, from which she can draw back and fire bolts of electricity from, the amount of power dealt depending on how long she holds it for. A quick draw only does a low-medium amount of damage and has no lingering effects. A Charged shot, which takes about 1 post to form up, does a fair deal more damage and will leave the target temporarily stunned if direct contact is made. The charged shot can also be split into four homing shots, which'll lock onto the opponents chakra signature. These only do slightly more damage than a quick shot on their own, but if all three hit the same target, then the damage can be even greater than a charged shot and can explode out to damage foes within a meter of the target. Akio can now fire a detonation shot with a charged up bolt, which is less powerful overall, but can paralyze a whole group of individual for a few moments. She can also create a piercing shot, which has more focused electrical energy for more power and damage, but has reduced ranged as well, only being able to go about half as far as a normal charged shot. The piercing shot can pierce through most standards armors and defensive jutsu of equal rank or lower, not including elemental weakness into play, in which it can probably partially get through lower A-rank Earth Style Jutsu and be halted by upper C rank Wind Style jutsu. Static strings can be attached to the quick fire shots, so that if they hit, the user can hold the foe in place by running a constant stream of electricity through it, locking her muscles in place. If this is done, neither Akio nor the target can move so it's not a good move for one on one, but good for lining up holding an enemy in place for another teammate to take down. Edit: Through training, Akio has managed to work down the weakness of her static strings down so that only one of her limbs is paralyzed and not her whole body, meaning that she won't be able to form jutsu while holding a foe down, but she can still move, dodge attacks, and counterattack reasonable well, though she still has to be able to keep some focus on the connection while moving, or else it'll break, thus she won't be able to move as fast as she normally could. Katon: Myaku Hitofuki no Jutsu (Fire Release: Pulse Blast Technique) Rank: B Range: Close to Mid Description: An extremely useful jutsu, this one has the effect of flushing out or separating multiple opponents. Hurling a fireball about the size of a basketball, it is meant to be dodged in order to be effective. For at center of this fireball is a gaseous core which, when the spherical attack finally makes contact with something, will explode and this gas will expand rapidly in a loud bang. The bang is simply a precursor though, as instantly afterwards a sharp concussive force will issue out all around the center of the blast. Though the explosion of the attack itself is not very strong, the force it sends out is enough to knock anyone who is within a certain radius of it flying. Katon: Kudakasei no Jutsu (Fire Release: Shatter Force Technique) Rank: A Range: Close Range technique, with the base diameter of the blast radius being around 5 meters Description: Built upon the principles of Katon: Myaku Hitofuki no Jutsu, this technique instead acts as a much more powerful, centralized version. Gathering heat in between both hands the user focuses it until it cannot be condensed further. Manifested as a sphere of raw, glowing energy it is at first held at bay as if only for show. Then, given any cue, the user slams the sphere into the ground, causing it to explode with the power of pure heat behind it. The user is unaffected by this burst of power, but anyone within the radius of the blast suffers some unsettling consequences alongside the devastating concussive force it sends forth. This technique, by sheer strength alone, has even been known to crack boulders. Separate effects of the jutsu are that the intense heat dehydrates any opponents caught within the radius of the blast, drawing them closer to fatigue, blurring their vision and causing mild headaches all the while. Minor, first-degree burns may also result from this technique. Jutsu Name: Raiton: Raikou Hitofuki no Jutsu (Lightning Release: Lightning Blast Technique) Rank: C Range: Close to Mid Description: This jutsu allows the user to fire off a continuous blast of electrical energy at an opponent, causing only minor burns but a great deal of pain as it courses through the foes system. Jutsu Name: Raiton: Cloak of the Thundering Phoenix Rank: S Range: Self Description: A Variant of the Lightning Armor Jutsu, this jutsu cloaks the Akio in an intense aura of electricity that takes the form of phoenix around them. While under the influence of this jutsu, Akio's speed, reaction time, and physical attack power gains a substantial increase, though not to the level that is seen by users of the original technique, as well as boosting the power of her Raiton jutsu, thus negating the charge up of her more power Thunder bow attacks. She can also up her mobility on the battlefield by gliding and hovering in the air for short periods of times using the wings this jutsu gives her, though she has yet to achieve true flight using this technique. Finally, the wings can also be formed into a defensive wall at a moments notice, incase she's targeted by an attack she can't dodge, but they can only block a single attack of up to A-rank in power, and Wind Style jutsu of Mid A-rank and higher will always be able to partially get through these defenses. Once the attack has been blocked, the wings will disperse and Akio will spend the remainder of the jutsu's duration moving at a reduced speed compared to before, though still noticeably faster than her base speed, as well as no longer being able to hover or glide due to the loss of her wings. This jutsu duration is for about 6 posts, though it can be lengthened to up to 9 by feeding more chakra into it, though this worsens the drawback once the jutsu ends. After the base duration runs out, her entire body will become numb and cause her speed and reaction time to drop as a result. This lasts for about three posts, but if she lengthened it, it can lengthen to about 6 posts and only allows her to move at a third of her base speed. If she tries to go over that limit, though possible, it will result in her body becoming completely paralyzed, as well as the obvious threat of chakra exhaustion. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon: Shuriken Description: A basic tool every ninja should have, it can be lethal if it hits a vital spot, but they are also good in creating some space for the fighter. Tool: Chakra Pill Description: Weapon: Kunai Description: A basic tool every ninja should have, it's the only weapon Akio has when it comes to CQC fighting. Weapon: Tanto Description: A short, straight, single edged dagger that has no point and is used primarily for slashing attacks. Weapon: Ninja Wire Description: A strong metal wire that can be used in various ways. Weapon: Senbon Description: A precision tool that, despite it's low lethality, can be very effective in slowing down and paralyzing an opponent if they are placed in the right place. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 After the war and her break-up with Aoi, Akio has become a very emotionally withdrawn individual, focusing only on either training or her duties as a shinobi, and spending very little time socializing with others anymore. While she still has the sarcastic remark or joke ready whenever it's needed, she no longer talks with people in depth. If they try to get to know her personally, she'll either redirect the conversation away from herself or just shut down, not speaking another word until the person gets the message and leaves her alone. Along with this, Akio has developed a bit of a drinking habit, not a terrible one, but noticeable. She always tends to have one bottle of some form of liquor on her when not on a mission, and she can be a bit cranky at times on missions due to the fact that she can't drink while on the job, a self-imposed rule so that her habit never interferes with her work. On really bad days, however, one could find Akio totally hammered in her home, in which she becomes a depressive, self-loathing mess that is constantly asking people to comfort her and listen to her problems, as well as provide . . . other forms of relief. 【History】 Before the massacre, her life wasn't really that great as her father saw her as nothing as a mistake and an embarrassment for two reasons. The first is that she was a bastard child, a mark of shame on his honor as the Tendou family patriarch, though it was that same honor that duty bound him to take the child in, as her mother had died during childbirth. The second reason was that she was never good enough, and while she wasn't the most skilled of individuals, she was still rather good, some would say better than most. But it was never enough for Akira Tendou, he demanded perfection, and severely punished those who did not meet his requirements. And as she hardly ever did, she was often met with scorn from her father, who never once acknowledged her as his daughter. And while that should've devastated her, she didn't find herself minding too much. She never once considered Akira Tendou as her father in the sense that he was a man to come to with her woes, worries, and needs, as that regard went to her older brother, Kokatsu. Ever since she came into their home, Kokatsu was extremely protective of her, getting into several fights with Akira and most of them ending in some sort of violence. Since she was young, she never got to see Kokatsu darker side, and she believes that he wanted to keep it that way as he made extreme efforts to avoid telling her about his job in any specific detail. He also expressed some sorrow when it became apparent that she was going to be joining the Shinobi forces, though never actively spoke out against it, unlike her father who was certain that she'd never pass and if she did, never make it pass a lowly genin. If things had continued as normal, then he may have been right, for even she had begun to doubt her self and her reasons for becoming a ninja, of whether she was ready for the life they lived. But instead, soon after her seventh birthday, all hell broke loose. A ceremony was held, as Akira had decided to pass on his position as Clan Patriarch to his son, claiming he had never been prouder for him. Kokatsu took the Tendou blade(an artifact past down from Patriarch to Patriarch since before the elemental nations were even concieved) and, with a smile as bright as the sun, slew his father where he stood, dropping the weapon to perform a quick string of handsigns before slamming his fingers into the fresh corpse. An eerie red light rose from the ground around him, and it was until many months after the event that she would hear that at the time, seals popped up all throughout the city. And so it was that Kokatsu opened a portal between this world and a world of darkness to unleash death upon all who lived within it. Only a single order was given, spare the children of the Tendou clan, they had done no wrong. And so it was that behind a veil of darkness, hundreds if not thousands died horrid, painful deaths, all the while a menacing laugh would echo through out it all. When the barrier fell and the demons fled, Kokatsu held out his hand for Akio to grab, only for her to flinch away, looking at her blood trenched sibling in horror. Akio couldn't remember a time where her brother had looked more hurt then at that time, and yet she also couldn't remember a time where he seemed more relieved. He offered no pressure or force, just left without a word, and leaving her alone in a nightmare of blood, death, and sorrow. After the event, the Tendou children were taken in and eventually handed over to adoptive parents to raise them. Of those children, four would go insane from the trauma of what they witnessed as they grew up, one even committing suicide after slaughtering his adoptive parents. Tendou children where treated with a mix of pity, fear, and for Akio, hatred. Given how closely related she was to Kokatsu, there were people, kids especially, who would take out their grief of lost loved ones out on her. This made it hard for her to trust and approach people, and also made it so she hated her features that so easily gave her away. But in the midst of these hardships, an ember began to burn bright with newly discovered passion. She developed a burning drive to train herself, to become as strong as possible. She was able to pass the academy with only minor difficulties, and did her best in her genin missions no matter what the they were. However, in the early years of her life, this passion nearly consumed her, as she withdrew from everyone, constantly running herself into the ground, and then some, for a reason that she wasn't even sure of. In actuality, she felt partially to blame for what happened to Kokatsu, thinking in her subconscious mind that if she had somehow been there for him more, it could've been avoided. As life went on, however, she found herself to be taken unde the wing of Tsukiko Umene. The older jonin would drop by from time to time to check up on her, and if she felt it necessary, beat her in to shape. While at first Akio resented the woman, she eventually began to grow more attached to her as time went on, to the point where she thinks of the wild woman as the big sister she never had. Due to Tsukiko's influence, Akio began to open up to other people a little more and try to overcome her weaknesses. Also because of Tsukiko, the young Tendou can tend to have a rather vivid and imaginative vocabulary when sufficiently angered or upset, as well as having a bit of a nasty temper. As of now, she's living in a rented apartment in downtown, having moved away from her foster parents the moment she became a genin, never to speak to them again. The war was a defining moment in Akio's life . . . and not for the better. while she wasn't a stranger to loss or violence, she had never felt in the scale that she had in the war. Many good friends died in the fighting, only to die in vain as the Confederation came to rule everything. However, instead of being filled with anger and indignation, she just felt broken and afraid. As she recovered, she began to withdraw from the world, drinking more often, and geting into fights with her girlfriend Aoi, until it finally culminated in Akio breaking it off in a fit of drunken passion. She immediately regretted it afterwards, but instead of going after her and begging forgiveness, she simply let the relationship die. Despite still having strong feelings for Aoi, she just didn't want to feel the pain of losing her, imagining that it'd be worse than anything else she'd ever experienced. Since she couldn't force Aoi to stop being a kunoichi, she decide that it'd be best for the two o end their relationship, thinking it'd be easier for both of them in the long run. This belief has long since died in her mind, as she only continues to feel more and more empty inside, but she feels like it's much much too late to fix her mistake. So she lives her days in misery, with her only companions being the alcohol she keeps by her side and the odd stranger that it invites to her bed every so often. 【Family ties】 Akio feels nothing for her family name, and had nothing but fear for her father. Her brother and a few of the braver clan members were the only ones in her family to show her any kindness, though not without punishment. Her foster family after the Massacre were kind at first, but soon grew distant as she showed a great lack in interest in them. After that, they simply ignored her and she ignored them. Not the perfect home, but it was peaceful at least. Tsukiko Umene \| Big Sister figure \| 42, Current Condition and location is unknown Kokatsu Tendou \| Half-Brother, Father figure \| 42, Unknown, Jonin and Missing-nin Makoto Tendou \| Half-Sister\| 23, Unknown, Kidnapped by her brother on the Night of the Massacre 【Dreams and fears】 Akio currently has no dreams beside a vain hope of making up with Aoi, but it's one she doesn't actively try to pursue. As for fears, she still fears losing Aoi, and their separation has only intensified this fear, as now not only will she lose her former lover, but she'll lose any chance for reconciliation.

That's a good motto, right?” Tatsuya is tall at around 6'2, and has a rather muscular upper body due to his work in the forge. His hands and arms are covered with numerous scars, burns and callouses due to the work he does every day, but he wears them with pride as they are the symbol of all his hard work. His red eyes come from his father, and shiny red hair comes from his mother. He also has a tattoo on his upper right arm of Ketsui lodged in the mouth of an active volcano. He got it the day he became a Genin as a symbol to never forget the determination it took to get him there, so that no matter how long the road to greatness looked, he'd never give up. His normal clothing style is usually a plain white T-shirt, some jeans and steel toed boots( a nessecity in his profession). He sometimes where a jacket if it;s cold enough for one, but more often than not, that's it for his casual wear. His combat outfit is a black, long sleeve shirt, a jacket over that, black combat pants and shinobi sandals. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Tatsuya Kajiya-Terumi 【Alias】 N/A 【Affiliation】 The Hamajō Confederation, though he does have his doubts and could be swayed to the other side 【Age】 17 【Gender】 Male 【Birthplace】 Konoha 【Bloodline】 Terumi Bloodline 【Rank】 Chunin Psych. report. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Tatsuya is a more weapon-based fighter, specialized in Kenjutsu mostly, as that is the weapon he uses most often, and has the most skill in using. That being said, his Taijutu is serviceable enough that he's not completely defenseless without his weapons, but it'll only do him so well for so long, especially against a skilled Taijutsu fighter. His Ninjutsu is also quite good, with a focus on controlling the battlefield rather than simply blasting his opponents away. Up close, Tatsuya is a very good fighter, but he often has issues against distance opponent unless he can figure out a way to get them to come to him. He can either uses his jutsu to force his foe closer, or takes the battle to them instead. When it comes to using his Kekkei Genkai, he can sometimes use it to distract his opponents by making the ground underneath their feet really hot via forming lava just below the surface. A sneaky, but effective strategy, especially when facing an enemy of a higher skill level than him, as that split second distraction could give him just the edge he needs to either escape, or end a fight. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Lava Release Description: The lava release is a very versatile Kekkei Genkai that has multiple variations and abilities depending on how one uses it. For Tatsuya, he bears an affinity for manipulating volcanic materials like as Magma making a very, very deadly opponent to go up against. His Lava attacks can change the very battlefield, giving him a good amount of Offensive, defensive, and crowd controlling abilities. An added plus to this ability is that one can convert certain earth-style techniques into Lava style ones, at the cost of an increased chakra cost. With some practice, Tatsuya has also been able to create a rubber-like material as well, which he can change the consistency of his chakra to make it work as an adhesive. While he's not skilled enough with it yet to use it in battle, in time it could add to his crowd control and supportive abilities. Tatsuya himself suffers no ill effects from his use of this ability, and seems to have a bit of heat resistance as well, though not enough to make a real difference against a fire jutsu(this doesn't include his own lava, which he's immune to). It's a neat party trick for him to snuff out a cigarette on with his hands, but that's about it. Strengths: The lava style is a highly variable ability, granting nearly unparalleled offensive capability, effective defenses, and crowd control capabilities. Weaknesses: Lava attacks can be effectively countered by a strong enough Water attack, cooling down the magma into rock. Also, this ability is highly destructive, endangering both friend and foe if Tatsuya isn't careful about what abilities he uses and how he uses them. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: B rank techniques: Shadow Clone Jutsu C rank techniques: Fire Release: Crimson Earth Spider Earth Release: Subterranean Voyage D-E rank techniques: 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu Name: Doton: Ishi Yoroi no Ude (Earth Release: Stone Bracers) Rank: D Range: Self Description: By taking dirt and rubbing it on their arms or legs, after performing the necessary hand seals, a shinobi is able to create very durable defensive bracers that add extra protection when using the arms to block. The chakra that is infused in them help to soften the blows of any physical attacks. These are very useful for taijutsu users or to defend against an onslaught of upper body blows. These bracers are designed to block physical attacks only. However, by channeling Yoton Chakra into the Jutsu, the rocks and what not can heat up to a degree that while the burns they cause are minor, they can be extremely painful and distracting to the opponent. Jutsu Name: Tsuchi Tou Tou (Swift Earth) Rank: D, B with the addition of Yoton chakra/used with his Lava Creation Jutsu Range: Current range would be 10 meter at maximum, with 2 meter width, and the earth moves at high speeds Description: When performing this jutsu the user places his hands on the ground and causes it to move rapidly away as if it were a conveyor belt. As the shinobi increases in skill and rank the size, speed, and range of this jutsu all increase. While little more than a delaying tactic, if mixed with Lava Creation, it can create a rather deadly surge of lava heading straight toward the target at high speeds. Jutsu name Lava Style: Lava Creation Rank: B Range: 2 meters in diameter from the starting point Description: The user will first channel chakra into the ground, thus turning the ground to lava. The process is quick, as the ground will melt away into the liquid-like lava. This lava can be used to aid in his other lava based jutsu by creating a source which he can manipulate, instead of creating it himself. To increase the base area that is converted, the user must have both of his hands in contact with the ground. Jutsu Name Lava Style: Lava Spray Rank: B Range: Mid Description: After making the needed handseals, Tatsuya builds up Lava Style chakra inside of his gut before blasting out a jet of molten lava into the air, causing a dangerous and widespread rain of lava droplets to fall to the ground. The spread of this jutsu makes it nearly impossible to dodge, though it can be blocked if the foe has the capability. Alternatively, Tatsuya can also just fire the magma jet directly at the foe in a fast moving stream. Jutsu Name Lava Style: Weapon Creation Rank: D Range: Any active Lava source with in 30 meters Description: The user of this jutsu will first channel chakra into an active source of lava, which will cause it to rise up quickly and making the lava thicker then usual, allowing the user to then mold it into a weapon with a few simple gestures. The weapons created will be about as hard as steel, but are usually rather crude and blunt. Jutsu Name Katon: Nenshou Tosshin (Fire Release: Burning Rush) Rank: C Range: Sphere goes is 2 meters long in diameter Description: A two-part technique in which the user blocks an attack by creating a sphere of fire around themselves, and after blocking the attack, the fires converge on his feet, cloaking them in flames. The fire on his feet can be used twice to launch him at his foes somewhat faster than before. The effect lasts for about 3 posts. Jutsu Name Lava Style: Eruption Rank: A Range: Affected area would be have a diameter of about 25-30 meters, power explosions have a blast radius of about 10 meters(one or two holes), 8 meters for 3 or 4, 4 meters for 5 or 6, 2 meters for 7 or 8. Description: In preparation for this technique, Tatsuya will channel chakra through the earth to create Yoton beneath it's surface over a period of time (2 Posts). As a result of this action, the surface of the affected area will become noticeably hotter as the lava beneath is pushed toward the surface by the built up pressure. Tatsuya can then release this build up pressure by creating small craters in the ground with either explosion tags, thus releasing this pent up magma in a explosive Mini-eruption at every point where a hole was created. The more holes the smaller the explosion will be, and vice versa in that less holes will equal more power explosions. With the combination of the explosion and lava this jutsu can lead to severe injuries and even death if a foe is got unaware. It can also create several lava pools after use, which Tatsuya can then use to his advantage to control how his opponent moves around the battlefield. A side effect of this technique is that it will lead to a nasty surprise to anyone trying to move underground or using ground shifting Dojutsu. The former for obvious reasons, and the latter because it will weaken the ground around them, causing the jutsu to activate prematurely. Weaknesses are the preparation time, making it something that can't be effectively used without either a teammate or pre-planning. It can also be activated prematurely by the above method, and can't be used in certain areas. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Tool Name: Bag of Dirt Description Enough said, for Stone Bracers when there isn't much dirt around. Just in case Weapon Name: Ketsui Weapon Type A double-edged Bastard Sword Description Ketsui is the sword that Tatsuya had to make to be allowed to become a shinobi by his father, a blade of unquestionable quality and a showing of true talent and hard work to be made by one as young as him. NOt only does it have a keen edge and made from durable metal, but during the forging process(where a mix of traditional and modern techniques were applied) he inscribed special seals into the metal to give it an extra function. The blade could now store elemental chakra with in itself and circulate it through the blade more effectively, enabling it to more effectively take on the aspects of whatever element it pumped into it. This also makes it capable of forming advanced chakra natures, such as Tatsuya's own Lava Release, with remarkable ease. And since it's able to store chakra as well, that means that one can fully charge it before a mission and activate and deactivate the seals inside with a simple one handed seal and a little chakra. Chakra effects: Fire: The blade is wreathed in a thin, but intense veil of fire, allowing it to cut through metals with only moderate difficulty and cause third degree burns. Earth:The blade becomes denser and more durable Lava: The Blade becomes as Hot as Molten Lava, cutting through metal with ease as well as getting a slight increase in durabilty The charge is big enough that it can keep the blade active for a total of 5 posts. The Lava style requires more chakra, however, so he can only hold that for about 3 posts instead of 5. Tool Name: First Aid Kit Description A basic medical kit that holds several chakra pills, first aid supplies Weapon name: Shuriken Description: Sharpened, four-pronged metal stars, useful for throwing. They can also be used for close combat, but not very efficiently. Although small, they can be used to distract, pin down enemy shinobi, or if accurate enough, can kill or incapacitate an enemy. They have an open circle in the centre, useful for grabbing with a finger, to avoid cutting oneself, or to put thread through. The circle is also beneficial to the weapon's overall aerodynamics, ensuring more accurate trajectories. Weapon name: Kunai Description: A black dagger with a handle wrapped in bandages and a small ring attached to the end of it. The kunai is designed for thrusting and stabbing, though it can still do some damage if thrown despite not being designed for it, and is about the length of one's hand. Weapon name: Explosive tags Description: These tiny slips of paper with seals drawn on them can pack quite a punch if used correctly, and can even be attached onto an enemy directly. Also can be attached to thrown kunai for accurate delivery or have a bunch wrapped into a ball for a more devastating payload. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Tatsuya is an honest and sociable sort, one who believes that the best way to get something is to earn it through the sweat of your brow and the strength of your will. He's very open in both mind and personality, accepting of pretty much everyone, and at times a bit too forgiving, which people have taken advantage of in the past and probably will continue to do so in the future. However, don't take that as him being slow witted or foolish, as his mind is as sharp as the blades he forges, and he has a keen intuition, honed by years of attending his family's shop, for picking out when people are lying to him or trying to pull the wool over his eyes. He tries his best to remain courteous with all kinds people, but he's no pushover, and if you don't back off nicely, he will make you back off, whether it be through words or actions. Tatsuya is also a bit of an artist, putting his experience in the forge into various metalworking projects and sculptures. While he's not terrible, it's obvious to see that e's still trying to find his niche with the art, as every piece is very different from one another, and he has yet to see one he particularly likes yet. He's also good at drawing, but that kind of a necessity when making designs for weapons, armors, and other such works, but he does sometimes take time out of his busy days to just relax and draw the world around him, mostly just random people on the street who catch his interest. While usually rather humble and modest, Tatsuya takes great pride in what he calls his true art form, forging weapons and armors of his own that have a cool style while still remaining practical in use. He treats every work like a piece of art, and has also taken to learning several weapon types, because he always feels that if he knows how to use the weapon himself, he can better forge it for his customers. His favorite type of weapon is the sword, but he's also learned how to effectively use other weapons, such as the staff, spear, and Naginata. 【History】 Tatsuya's father comes from a clan of reknowned blacksmiths that originated from Mizu no kuni. They were known as the Kajiya Clan, and it's said that it was members of their clan responsible for forging the blades of the Seven Ninja swordsman. However, sometime after the rise of the Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki, a faction of the clan separated from the main branch and left Mizu no kuni, for reason's that very few outside the clan know about. The faction soon splintered off from each other, settling in several different lands across the world, keeping the name of their clan where ever they go to show that they still pride themselves in their linage. His father, Katsuo, was born and raised in Konoha, living there for 17 years before he decided to travel to Kirigakure in order to find out more about his heritage. It was there were he met his wife-to-be, Katsumi Terumi. She was an eccentric inventor, and often considered to be the black sheep of her clan due to her . . . odd mannerisms. While the two didn't get along when they first met, their mutual love to create eventually formed into a relation ship, and after a 5 years, Katsuo returned home with Katsumi to Konoha with her father's blessing, where they were to be happily married 3 years later. Fast forward 10 years in the future to the birth of Tatsuya, their second child and first born son. Tatsuya's early years where tough at first, as he was a rather weak baby, but he pulled through, eventually growing healthy and strong without any complications. Tatsuya soon spent a great amount of time with both of his parents in their respective workshops, and while he tended to lean towards his dad's work then his mother's, he found both of them interesting. As soon as he was able, he would assist them in every endeavor they undertook, no matter how small a task they gave him to do. His family was a happy and connected one, for the most part. The only real conflict ever presented before him was his father's staunch resolve to deny him from becoming a shinobi. Katsuo had seen both his father and brother become shinobi, only to die meaningless deaths and only him and his mother around to mourn them, and he didn't want Tatsuya to become just another forgotten grave in the cemetery, killed before his time because he was nothing but a pawn for the Confederation to use at their leisure. Tatsuya, on the other hand, was adamant about it, wanting it more than anything else. Finally, Katsuo agreed to let the boy become a shinobi, but only if he could make a weapon that would impress him, and not a second before. The task was seemingly impossible for a then 10-year old Tatsuya, but he went at the challenge with a determination that blazed liked a wildfire. Using Kajiya sealsmithing techniques, as well as his own talent and skill with the tools available to him, he worked on numerous weapons, each a good viable weapon, but never reaching Katsuo's standards until one day, 4 years into the agreement, when he presented Ketsui to his father. The blade was spectacular, it's functions both practical and unique to it. It was a weapon deserving of the name Kajiya, and true to his word, Katsuo finally allowed Tatsuya to be a Shinobi, though he still doesn't like the idea. Katsuo Kajiya \| 51 \| Father, Reknowned blacksmith and owner of the Kajiya Weapon Store, where Quality is guaranteed, located somewhere in Minato City Katsumi Kajiya-Terumi\| 53 \| Mother, An intelligent weapon maker, she's fallen into depression after the destruction of her homeland, and though it has had some breaks, the sadness always returns in the end Manami Kajiya-Terumi \| 26 \| Sister, Works at the shop full time and is currently working as an apprentice under her father. 【Dreams and fears】 Tatsuya dreams of one day making a weapon that is on par with that of those of the Seven Ninja swordsman, as well as becoming a reknowned shinobi that would be an inspiration for others. Tatsuya somewhat fears his Kekkei Genkai, as he's afraid that he might accidentally hurt, and even kill someone one day due to him not being able to control it properly.

51,122	1,381	29	1,105	2,351	Mirai Yumiya The clattering of metal caused Mirai to look up. The swords she and Aneko use landed in front of her. Directing her gaze forward and a silver-haired woman was standing about where the swords used to be. Something seemed familiar about the woman's face and she had an air of importance. Perhaps she was the one leading this attack. Why would she give me my weapon back? Mirai's prosthetic arm reached forward and gripped the sword, and she slowly got onto her hands and knees. Nobody is looking this way. This is my chance... to do... something... Before the blue-haired girl could get up a powerful gust of wind knocked her back over onto her side. This one was far less painful but equally surprising. Looking up to find the source, the man with the demon mask that knocked her away had summoned a terrifying and gigantic mace. But the building had a barrier around it that reflected his attack. A weight felt like it had been lifted from Mirai's shoulders. That's right. There are others inside. They don't need me to defend this place. Not like I could in the first place. If that monster couldn't destroy the barrier then nothing can. I don't have to try to fight them. Once again she picked herself up, resting on her knees as she sheathed her sword on her back. But what do I do now? They still haven't noticed me. I could kill that lady... maybe. That'd make me a hero, right? But, even if I pull it off perfectly and kill her, I'll probably die too... What should I do, Aneko? Mirai looked past the Red Sages before her to where her servant's unconscious body was. Well, hopefully she was just unconscious. A blow like that wouldn't be fatal, right? She wasn't moving though and Mirai can't check her pulse from far away. A wave of anxiety began to creep over the girl again. Did they kill her? I must know. I have to save her. I have to fight them. I have to- A mist suddenly appeared around the compound, obstructing Mirai's vision of most everything. She instinctively jumped to her feet, reaching for her sword again with her real arm. But apparently the source was friendly, as another girl jumped out of the smoke and offered a hand and assistance. "Uh," Mirai let out first, leaving her sword sheathed and bringing her hand back down to her side. "I think... that's their leaders over there. We should go. They'll kill us." Mirai looked in the direction of the enemies, but the mist was too thick to see them. Hopefully it worked the other way as well. "My serv- er, my friend is on the other side of them. She got knocked out. We have to get her away from here too." Mirai crouched down, picking up Aneko's sword and holding it with her metal arm. "If you can carry her out of here I'll distract them and catch up..." With her free hand she withdrew several shuriken and held them between her fingers. "We need to regroup. We outnumber them, but..." Mirai pulled her arm back, preparing to throw her weapons in Seijo's direction through the mist. "They surprised us. Let's organize." And with that she gave it her best toss. Sure, Seijo could've moved in the past few seconds and Mirai would be none the wiser. But she had to do something. If she used explosives it would lift the fog and her stealth would be gone. Then that demon-mask guy, or any other Red Sages that could've gathered, could easily chase her down and kill her. She had to rely on luck, something she was perfectly willing to rely on if it meant she wouldn't have to die. Katsuko Moto The red-haired man behind the demon mask scoffed, looking back towards Seijo. "More capable than me? Nobody is," he remarked aloud, though not particularly loudly so as to instigate an argument with Seijo. Now would be a particularly bad time to argue, being in the middle of a battle and all. His gaze went back towards the barrier as he began tapping the gigantic club against his shoulder. It's like she didn't even notice all the men I took out. Whatever, she's just doing that to hurt my ego. The mask felt particularly uncomfortable suddenly and he had to resist the urge to take it off. After all his identity was something worse protecting. Unlike Seijo he hadn't been identified or associated with the Red Sages. As long as nothing incriminating was said or done around the enemies he would still be able to go home this night and not worry about being found out. Wait a minute... He turned to face Seijo again. "You used my name! Why would you do that!?" Though he didn't seem overly heated about the situation, one could definitely detect the anger in his voice. "Now we have to kill everyone!" Before he could complain to his boss any further, a mist technique spread across the government's building and around the compound. Having decided in the heat of the moment that he didn't care anymore, Katsuko ripped off the stupid mask and threw it in the direction of the barrier. The mist was so thick that he couldn't see what happened to it, but it would've bounced off and landed somewhere he wouldn't have to deal with it any longer. Can't use Saihyousen like this. Not with Seijo and the others so nearby. I'd never hear the end of it if I hurt the Lady Commander. The red-haired man quickly sealed his massive weapon back in its scroll and stowed it in a pouch along his belt. Clearly there's an enemy that will try to take her out in the mist. Can't see anything though. Oh well, she's a big girl, she'll handle herself. At least she better handle herself. Meanwhile I'm useless right here. This has to be one of those barriers that uses tags. There's no way they've got someone in there who is stronger than me and can withstand my attacks. There has to be tags. I'll search for those. Katsuko began to jog along the outside of the barrier, making sure to keep it at about an arm's length away. The thick mist made it impossible to see further than his arm's reach anyways, so he was at least able to navigate to that degree. Surely the tags have to be near the corners. Just have to find this corner and... here. He reached the front left (from the front door's perspective) corner of the building and accordingly the corner of the barrier. There has to be one here...	j8cob's Characters of Moderate Interest and Adequate Writing “Anything for the greater good; there is no measure too extreme.” A man of average height and athletic build, Ryuunosuke would barely stand out in a crowd if it wasn't for his aura and his wardrobe. He wears a white military-style jacket so pristine and white it is impossible to not see, a black formal suit underneath for when his presence doesn't need to be flaunted, and of course he keeps his elegant sword sheathed at his hip. Top it off with white dress pants, polished black boots, sleek gloves, and noble blonde hair and one can't fail to recognize Ryuunosuke at a glance. While his features may be attractive and his clothes may be regal, he is always accompanied by an aura of authority. One cannot look at him without either fearing him or being struck by awe in his presence. He practically radiates power. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Ryuunosuke Hamajō 【Alias】 Ryuu, The Great President, The Dragon, Lord Hamajō 【Affiliation】 Hamajō Confederation 【Age】 30 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Nobody knows, nobody asks. 【Birthplace】 Nobody knows, nobody asks. 【Bloodline】 Hamajō - An unknown family, only Ryuunosuke bears the name. 【Rank】 President of the Hamajō Confederation Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 A hero, a villain. A kind soul, a ruthless killer. A heart of gold, a fist of iron. There are many descriptions of Ryuunosuke's character that all depend on who you ask. To some he is a man of great respect, a legendary hero that has fought for his ideals and won. To others he is an opportunist and a fiend, an infamous villain that took power through bloodshed. The truth is these descriptions are all of the same man and they are all accurate. Though noble in presence he justifies all his actions as a means to an end. He truly believes he is saving the world and unifying all the people, and he isn't afraid to slaughter anyone that gets in his way of that vision. All who oppose him are an evil that must be destroyed. He is all that is good and just, so any enemy is naturally evil and irredeemable. The greater good, to Ryuunosuke, is something worth reaching even if he has to climb a mountain of bodies to achieve it. 【History】 The origin of the man named Ryuunosuke Hamajō is shrouded in mystery. There are no documents or eye-witness accounts, he seems to have simply appeared fifteen years ago as a mature and worldly teenager. There are rumors and stories of his early life but none have been confirmed by Ryuu. Even his closest friends and allies have only sparse details on his background. One of the popular propaganda pieces from the beginning of the Hamajō Confederation was the intentional spreading of a rumor that he was truly born from a dragon. This was intended more to bolster support than actually explain who he is, but it caught on as the prominent myth to serve as his "explanation." The earliest report of his existence came when a young, blonde teenager wearing homemade pelts as clothes while carrying a sword entered a clothing store in a rural town just south of the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning. When questioned about his clothes he said rather simply "my old ones were too small and I didn't have many options." When asked who he was, he simply replied "Ryuunosuke Hamajō." After performing several oddjobs to pay off the man for a modern wardrobe he left the city to continue on his journey. This was the first time his name was spoken and it was far from the last. Over the next four years he traveled across the world like a wandering swordsman. He was only a teenager at the time, many didn't take him seriously, and many more tried to take advantage of him. Despite the cruel world he lived in, he was a kind soul. A strong soul. He always spared his attackers, granting mercy on most who crossed him. It was through this kindness that he made his allies. In time he had gathered a group of six followers, each one a man or woman he had defeated and spared. These friends, too, had their own followers and connections. They were all powerful, strong shinobi from all over the world. People of respect and admiration, and they all respected and admired Ryuunosuke. He was a kind and merciful soul. He was a champion of peace. His name began to spread and his group was given the name of the Dragon's Den. While his fame grew and more and more people joined his cause, Ryuunosuke grew less kind. His merciful nature, after years of being tested, began wearing away when he was seventeen. The change was slow and gradual. Many didn't notice it, Ryuunosuke to this day hasn't noticed it, but somewhere along the line he stopped sparing his enemies. But it didn't matter by that point. He had a small army of loyal followers, positioned all over the world. Dragon's Den was becoming big enough for the Kages of the Hidden Villages to take notice. But by then it was already too late. All they needed to create a new world order was a spark. They had many thousands of supporters and the potential to gain hundreds of thousands. The idea of world peace and global harmony was enticing, after all. The message they preached was that only through unity could everyone come to a mutual understanding. Only by coming together could mankind be strong enough to carry on. The spark came when the leader of Amegakure publicly cast the seven prominent members of Dragon's Den out of the village. He claimed they were a cancer to the world, that they would only cause global warfare if they continued on their path. He demanded they leave his village and never step foot in it again. A fifteen year-old Ryuunosuke would've accepted the man's decision and demonstrated his kindness and understanding by leaving. But Ryuunosuke was nineteen now. He no longer spared his enemies. Amegakure was the first to be taken in. His army of supporters only grew, making Dragon's Den a very important and very powerful organization. This prompted a name change, at the behest of Ryuunosuke himself. If they were to lead the people fairly it could not be left up to one person. Instead there would be a council at the top, an oligarchy. These nations would become one big confederation, Ryuu proposed. And from that day forward began the rise of the Hamajō Confederation. The rest is history. In less than a year the Hamajō Confederation was able to secure all the Hidden Villages, forcing their respective countries into submission. Each nation in the Confederation was represented by one of the original six members of the organization, with Ryuunosuke serving as the President of the Council and accordingly the President of the Hamajō Confederation. Their victory was celebrated across the world by their armies and supporters, but their work was not yet complete. The world was not yet properly unified. Enemies to the peace still existed. He was so young then, practically ruling the world before he was even twenty. Times have changed, he has changed. What was once a kind boy has grown into a hardened man. Peace could not be maintained through kindness, he reasoned. It could only be kept through order, loyalty, and force. This was unanimously agreed by the entire Council. The groundwork for a prosperous future had been laid out, and to some extent it has succeeded over the past eleven years. Many people are happy and safe. But not everyone. The Red Sages, in particular, have been the biggest thorn in Ryuu's side. These violent and chaotic rebels. They failed to understand his vision, to understand what's best for them. Their mere existence was a sign: Ryuunosuke's utopia was far from complete. He hadn't achieved world peace yet. There was still more obstacles in his path. Even after unifying all the nations he still had enemies. And Ryuunosuke doesn't spare his enemies anymore. 【Family ties】 Nobody knows what his family life was like. When asked, Ryuu says that he loved his parents but they had passed away when he was only eight. He also says that he had no siblings. 【Dreams and fears】 The hopes and dreams of Lord Hamajō are no secret: his greatest wish is to unify the entire world in a peaceful, prosperous utopia. He has already made great strides towards accomplishing this and shows no signs of changing his mind. His fears, on the other hand, are less known. First and foremost would be the fear of the Confederation collapsing. But, after that, he is known to be paranoid of his own organization for traitors, constantly ordering investigations in an attempt to expose any and all assassination plots against him. A small fear he has that is only known by the select few he had begun the Hamajō Confederation with is his mild fear of crowds and public speaking. This is something he can keep under control, but he is always visibly uncomfortable when surrounded by many people. This also relates to his paranoia. 【Songs】 The Dragon's Name (Instrumental) The Hero's Path The Villain's Way The Conqueror's Blade (Instrumental) “Being the strongest man in the world isn't easy, but I wouldn't have it any other way.” Katsuko is not built lithe like most ninja, instead having a tall and muscular body. His extra bulk is always apparent regardless of garments. His signature red hair makes him easily identifiable, if his size wasn't already a good enough indicator. He often wears only the clothes depicted in the picture above, but he also wears white or black shirts with the Konoha emblem emblazoned on the chest as well as red jackets whenever he is not in combat. He only removes the jacket when he gets into a fight. Personnel files.

Prides itself on producing powerful shinobi, though far too small of a family to compete with larger clans. 【Rank】 Jounin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Bold, confident, and determined. Katsuko is a man of pride who values strength just as much as he values honesty and loyalty. He doesn't withhold his opinion aside from rare circumstances and is surprisingly a capable listener to the opinions of others. He treats others with respect, though his confidence sometimes dips into cockiness when addressing those who challenge him. Many find him to be a reliable person, the kind of guy who will fulfill a promise if he makes one. He will talk tough, and everyone knows he is strong, but he is never quite intimidating. He is just light-hearted enough to make him fun to be around but still capable of being serious when it is required of him. 【History】 Born to a simple family in a simple home, Katsuko was raised to become a shinobi like his father, Jinkama. His mother and father took in his older cousin when she was nine and Katsuko was six, due to her parents' tragic deaths in the field as shinobi. Between him, his father, and his cousin, the Moto household had plenty of shinobi and training together. While Jinkama had always been a prodigious swordsman, Katsuko and his cousin Keiko turned out to be geniuses in their own respective fields of taijutsu and ninjutsu respectively. As Keiko and Katsuko became older teens the Hamajo Confederation took over. Katsuko was only a chuunin at the time but still tried his best to defend Konoha alongside his family and comrades. But the opposing army was too great and the order to surrender was given once Konoha's leaders had been slain. The Choko siblings that were in control had perished and the jounin commander disappeared without a trace, forcing the cooperation of the rest of Konoha's forces. After a while Katsuko grew accustomed to the new way of life. But his father never did. Jinkama was one of the first to join the Red Sages, secretly leading operations against the Confederation as a senior officer. It wasn't until Katsuko was already 22 years old and a fresh jounin himself that his father was finally found out. In an ambush attack he was struck a mortal blow, killing him later that night from his blood loss and damaged heart. In his dying hours he confessed his plans and ideals to Katsuko and his cousin, spurring them both into action. The Confederation came to their house the next day, retrieving Jinkama's body and subjecting the entire Moto family to a thorough investigation. They passed and were let go, but were put under watch for several months following the event. After his leash had been loosened, Katsuko joined the Red Sages and brought his cousin along too. Unlike their father they were young and unfit for leadership. This made it easier to stay under the radar, but it meant they were only grunts in the grand scheme of things. Over the past few years they have made their way up the ladder, earning respect from their peers for their strength and skill as shinobi. Lately Katsuko has become interested in taking a leadership role for the cause, much like his father did before him. Only this time he has made sure to cover all his bases and prioritize the secrecy of his plans, which his father clearly failed at. Only time will tell how this strong, determined young man will affect the outcome of the brewing civil war. 【Family ties】 Growing up in a tight-knit household, one would expect Katsuko to be very close with his family. But considering every member of his family is largely independent, they are actually quite distant despite their good standings. Whether it is out of stubbornness or laziness, one cannot tell. But the Moto family rarely gathers, but when they do they all appreciate and respect each other like any functioning family would. Jinkama Moto \| Father \| Died at 49, former jounin in Konoha's armed forces. Akira Moto \| Mother \| 50, Konohagakure, owns a grocery store and is generally respected by her community. Keiko Moto \| Cousin \| 29, Konohagakure, jounin and older cousin that Katsuko grew up with. 【Dreams and fears】 Katsuko has a few dreams including establishing himself as the strongest man in the world and seeing the Red Sage's cause through to the end, to create a world where everyone is free and capable of autonomy. When it comes to fears he may seem to be fearless, but Katsuko fears humiliation above all else. Even death does not muster fear in his heart like his name being brought to shame. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Katsuko is a taijutsu master, brutalizing his foes through sheer power and speed. While his ranged options are limited, he has little difficulty in closing any gaps of range to maximize his offensive prowess. His durability and sheer determination is nothing to shake a stick at either, allowing him to tank blows in order to easier land hits on his foes. While his strength is already something fearsome, he is known to exploit his opponent to tip the scales even further in his favor. He may not be the brightest bulb but he sure is the toughest, and he knows it. Expect a beating from hell if you dare cross Katsuko. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Chikaroatoshi Description: An ocular kekkei genkai, like the Sharingan or Byakugan. By using his eyes as a medium, Katsuko is able to access the chakra of his opponents through their eyes (tapping into the first two of the Eight Gates). This allows Katsuko to steal his foe's chakra simply through eye contact. The range does not matter, as it is eye contact at any range, but the duration of contact that determines the loss. An inept user may drain chakra slowly, but someone as versed as Katsuko can drain an enemy of their entire chakra pool in less than ten seconds of maintained eye contact. The chakra that is siphoned goes directly into Katsuko's system, powering him further and allowing him to demonstrate more strength and speed on top of gaining more stamina. A crafty and debilitating ability, but not the most stealthy. When using this ability, Katsuko's eyes turn from red to gold and have a faint glow. This can be considered a warning, as any and all eye contact made with him at that point will drain chakra, regardless of whether they are friend or foe. Strengths: The ability to drain chakra from an enemy at a distance, without prior contact, is a pretty good strength. It stacks further when one considers that Katsuko can effectively grow faster and stronger through the duration of a battle while his foes grow weaker and more tired at a much greater rate than they normally would. Weaknesses: An obvious way to avoid losing chakra is to avoid eye contact. If one makes eye contact and then breaks it off, the siphoning is broken off as well. Chakra may drain at an alarming rate, which experienced shinobi will feel and realize quickly that Katsuko is draining them, thus allowing them to avert their gaze before they reach the point of passing out. Avoiding eye contact altogether prevents any less of chakra. However, an actual weakness here, Katsuko can only absorb so much energy before he would overload. This amount is incredibly high, however, and would require many, many shinobi to accomplish. A more realistic alternative is to make him absorb "unsafe" chakra, such as Natural Chakra, which Katsuko's body would be unable to withstand in quantity. If he somehow overloads or absorbs a substantial amount of unsafe chakra, then his chakra system will be disabled and he would likely die. 【Ninja techniques】 S rank techniques: One Thousand Eyes Technique A rank techniques: Chakra Enhanced Strength Great Cataclysm B rank techniques: Earth Release: Earth Spear Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall C rank techniques: Earth Release: Hiding Like a Mole Technique D-E rank techniques: Academy Techniques Vantage Strike 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: One Thousand Eyes Technique Rank: S Range: Self ; Line of Sight (range irrelevant) Description: This is Katsuko's ace-in-the-hole, his ultimate technique if you will. It requires no handseals to activate but takes five seconds to properly manifest. Throughout the five seconds of warm-up many dozens of eye tattoos appear across his entire body. At the five second mark the black tattoos all turn golden and activate. These become conduits for Katsuko's eyes. Being that Katsuko is now looking through many angles around him all at once, it leaves him with no visual blind spots. However the true power of this technique doesn't lie in visual acuity but instead by serving as a medium for his Kekkei Genkai. While normally a foe may be able to fight to some degree by avoiding eye contact with Katsuko, this technique makes that almost impossible. Looking at him at all will result in losing chakra, fast. Even more so: this allows him to steal chakra from many people all at once. Naturally this means his strength, speed, and chakra pool increase at a staggering magnitude of order. Whether he is fighting one man or an entire army it does not matter. The downside to this technique lies in its strength: by absorbing chakra at a much higher rate he gets closer to overloading on "unsafe" chakra at a much higher rate as well. A seemingly simple but devastatingly powerful technique in all, generally reserved for situation when Katsuko is heavily outnumbered but can be used if faced against a sly opponent that refuses to lose their chakra. It is worth noting that this will also steal chakra from allies, as Katsuko's eyes cannot pick-and-choose who they steal from. ANYONE who looks at him will lose their power. Jutsu name: Great Cataclysm Rank: A Range: Short Description: An attack that utilizes Katsuko's Saihyousen weapon. By using it's incredible weight and Katsuko's incredible strength, an earth-shattering slam attack is performed after leaping into the air. While the attack is clearly telegraphed and easy to read, it is regarded as A rank due to the sheer damage output. A direct hit is fatal, and even a miss can deal severe damage due to the shockwaves and shattering earth. The impact is like a small earthquake and can disrupt the balance and focus of both friend and foe alike. An imposing attack that is mostly for striking fear into his enemies through demonstration of force rather than getting the direct hit, though it isn't very slow so direct hits can happen with grotesque result. Jutsu name: Vantage Strike Rank: D Range: Short Description: An opening punch from a stealthy approach. This is often Katsuko's entry into a battle. Using the element of surprise a heavy punch is delivered to the solar plexus (from the front) or the spine (from the back) depending on angle. Can easily defeat a foe by itself, only the hardiest of people will can take the hit. Dodging it is the best way to go for sure. Like seriously, dodge this fucking punch or it's over before it begins. Don't test Katsuko, you don't want to even try to block this shit. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Saihyousen Weapon, tool or object type: Massive Clubbing-type Weapon Description: An incredibly heavy weapon that very few can wield. A three meter long steel rod with half its length fitted with two solid steel spheres. This makes the handle a meter-and-a-half and the striking area the same length. This massive weapon weighs a literal ton, meaning that for the few like Katsuko who can swing it it will provide terrifying power behind every blow. Not only does its sheer size and imposing figure strike fear into his foes but just one swing is often all it will take to make an opposing force surrender. Nobody wants to die from being crushed and having all their bones broken simultaneously. Katsuko keeps this weapon sealed in a small scroll he keeps on his belt, as carrying it around would be awkward and uncomfortable. He can wield it without Chakra Enhanced Strength or using his Kekkei Genkai, but without either his attacks become slow and easy to dodge. With his "buffs" active he can wield this behemoth like a samurai would wield a katana. “I just have to keep trying, I guess...” First and foremost, Mirai's most striking feature is not her blue hair, the scar on her nose, her red eye, or even her blind left eye. It is her left arm, or rather the lack thereof. When out of the house she has a metal prosthetic arm in its place to allow her to keep functioning as a shinobi. While her stature is generally slim, not having any more muscle than she needs to lift her own weight and move around at an acceptable speed, her prosthetic arm is a bit bulkier than her real one. As for clothes she generally wears the garments depicted in the picture above but is known to wear dresses on fancy occasions or wear heavier clothes on chilly days. Due to wearing heels many think she is of average height but she is actually on the short side, standing at a mere 158cm tall. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Pragmatic, cynical, and doubtful. Mirai has a bad habit where she doesn't have much self-respect or self-confidence. She is quick to rely on others, both in and out of combat. While she is weak-willed that isn't to say she has no will at all. In fact she can be very stubborn and determined when pushed hard enough to rely on herself. This can come across as almost hypocritical, as her passive and depressing personality would make one think she would be unable to actually try to do anything. To that same effect, once Mirai has actually bolstered her will she casts away pride, honor, and any other emotion that would impair her actions. There is no such thing as a "low blow" to her. If she has to fight, she will go to whatever length it takes to survive or kill her opponent, depending on the situation. She isn't prone to rage, but many think that she enters an enraged state due to her ferocity even though her actual emotion would be more akin to panic or fear. 【History】 Born to the wealthy Yumiya family, Mirai was raised just as one would expect from her class. Most of the parenting she received was from household servants, particularly her personal servant Aneka, while her real parents were too busy. Busy with what? Her father, Makoto, has been a part of the Hamajo Confederation since its early days. Nobody knows what he does, exactly, but he had supplied his fortune when it was first starting up. He doesn't seem to do much anymore yet still holds prestige and position among the government for his support. Now Mirai's mother, on the other hand, had even less of an excuse. She had no job. She instead dedicated her life to knowledge, reading as many books as she could even at the cost of family time. So that was her early childhood. She received in-home education, private tutoring from Aneka, for several years. But, as she began to mature, she realized that she didn't enjoy her life. It was boring, dull, had no meaning. Her family wasn't loving, she had no friends, and had no talents. When Mirai was eight years old she decided she would go to Konohagakure to learn how to become a shinobi at their academy. Naturally her parents were against the idea initially, but it was evident they had some kind of love or bond with their child for they eventually relented and granted her wish. Since there was no family in Konoha nor could her parents spare the time to go with her, Mirai was attended by Aneka for the "duration of her stay in Konohagakure." And so the two traveled. Mirai began attending the Ninja Academy and so did Aneka, despite the fact the servant was already a full-grown woman. Aneka Toyama figured she would need to learn the shinobi arts if she wanted to properly care for and protect Mirai. The young girl became a genin at the age of 12, but it was apparent that she was not particularly... skilled. She was among the bottom ranks of her class and despite growing over the years never really improved at the same rate her classmates did. At first it frustrated her, but after a while it became something she felt accustomed to. She was given low-expectations, little respect, and barely any time of the day. Ironically it was nothing new to her. Mirai couldn't make any progress as a genin until she was sixteen. A mission went horribly wrong. The squad she was in was supposed to eradicate a bandit camp. But somehow, some way, the two chuunin and one genin were not prepared enough for the battle. Once her squadmates had been defeated and captured, Mirai attempted to flee but to no avail. She simply wasn't fast enough to escape or strong enough to break free. The resulting beating she received ended up putting a scar across the bridge of her nose and leaving her blind in one eye. The bandits later tortured the teenagers, trying to extract information out of them. Mirai attempted to escape during her interrogation, prompting an angry and violent response from her captors and resulting in the loss of her left arm. That night the squad was rescued by a (better) team of shinobi. After the bandits had all been killed or captured, Mirai was given medical treatment but they could not find her severed arm to attempt to reattach it. She was later told that it was the Red Sages who had done this damage to her, and that it was likely her career as a shinobi was over. Her hampered vision and physical capability made the Confederation put her on indefinite standby, a polite way to say early retirement. While Mirai seemed accepting of her fate, her servant Aneko (who has been a chuunin for a while by now) knew that she was heartbroken. Rather than let her resign to her fate, Aneko contacted her parents back in Amegakure to update them on her situation and get their help. And as such Makoto ordered the construction of a prosthetic arm that wouldn't just fully replace Mirai's original but exceed it's capability in terms of utility. If she was going to be a kunoichi then she was going to be a good one, and a good kunoichi needs good armaments. And arms. Mirai was shocked when she finally received the prosthetic, amazed at how well it worked and how useful it was. With a new motivation to get back into the game, Mirai began trying her best to work her way up the ranks. After receiving a new arm and undergoing intensive training with Aneko she finally made it to chuunin rank at seventeen, granted it was by the skin of her teeth. Nevertheless she was proud of her accomplishment, despite her monotone demeanor and the disapproving looks of her comrades. Her next goal is to become jounin, though considering the slow climb so far she isn't deluding herself over the difficulty and time it will take. 【Family ties】 Mirai's family was never particularly close or intimate. Father was always busy, mother was always locked away by herself with her books, and Mirai was always left to her own devices. Most of her care was seen through family servants rather than her parents. While Mirai can't say she "loves" her family, she does hold a natural soft spot in her heart for them. The only time they really spent together was dinnertime and holidays. Otherwise they were all alone, despite living in the same house. Makoto Yumiya \| Father \| 42, Amegakure, his exact job is unclear but he seems to be a part of some kind of committee established by the Confederation. Chiyuri Yumiya \| Mother \| 36, Amegakure, housewife who owns a whole library full of books that is always growing. Aneka Toyama \| Personal Servant \| 29, Amegakure, Mirai's personal maid that has taken care of her since she was a toddler. No blood relation. 【Dreams and fears】 In her depressing state, Mirai doesn't have many dreams. But, despite what she may say or feel, deep down inside she wants to become someone worthy of respect. Someone for others to look up to, like a role model or a hero. While she has a lack of dreams, she has no lack of fears. Ranging from the mundane such as bugs and dark places to the more serious fears such as having no friends, having no family, and even dying. Death is what she fears above all else. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Mirai doesn't have impressive taijutsu, ninjutsu, or genjutsu skills. To combat her general lack of natural talent she has come to rely on weapons and tactics. She is proficient with many kinds of weapons and tools, using her skills and her arsenal to her advantage to combat her physically superior opponents. She prefers to keep range and use surprise attacks, making her a bag of tricks that could be potentially fatal to the unwary or overconfident. Mirai may come across as underwhelming but perhaps that truly is her greatest asset. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: N/A B rank techniques: Self Destruct C rank techniques: Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder Lightning Release: Lightning Rod Poison Spike D-E rank techniques: Hidden Needle Cannon Academy Techniques 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Poison Spike Rank: C Range: Short Description: A hidden spike lathered in a neurotoxin is propelled from the palm of her mechanical arm, reaching a full length of four inches. It pops out at high speed so as to punch through thin armor or cloth as well as breaking the opponents skin. Very useful as a surprise attack when the enemy is close. The spike will be retracted after half a second, concealing it and allowing full use of her hand again. The toxin itself can be lethal in large doses (i.e. stabbed multiple times) but most victims will survive even without medical assistance. The toxin numbs the target over time, eventually reaching the point where they have incredible difficulty controlling their body. In higher doses it even affects their thought processes as their brain is numbed as well. A single stab can't defeat an enemy unless they are small and have a fast metabolism, but two or three stabs will be enough to bring down an average-sized adult over the course of five to ten minutes. Four doses or more is when it starts to become dangerous, becoming lethal to the average-sized adult at six (that is: without proper medical attention). Jutsu name: Hidden Needle Cannon Rank: D Range: Short-Medium Description: As compared to the hidden spike coming from the mechanical arm's palm, these needles fire from the outside of the forearm in a wide volley. A total of twenty senbon are shot out all at once, much like an open choke shotgun blast. Naturally the lack of accuracy hinders the effective range, but the senbon can travel over 100m from the propulsion. However, actually hitting a target at that range isn't feasible. Rather it is perfect for a painful surprise on an advancing enemy within 10m. The wide spray practically guarantees damage and the unexpected angle of attack adds versatility. Once the senbon are fired this attack cannot be used until Mirai reloads her arm, which is better done outside of battle due to the tedious nature. Jutsu name: Self Destruct Rank: B Range: Medium - 20m radius Description: If desperate times call for desperate measures, Mirai can use her prosthetic arm as a bomb. As it is loaded with explosives, all it takes for her to activate the countdown is her own will and some chakra. Once triggered it has a three second countdown before detonation. This gives Mirai just enough time to detach the arm and reach a distance she where she will survive the shockwave and avoid the explosion itself. Once the timer is started it cannot be cancelled, but thankfully it can only be started by Mirai thanks to her chakra connection with the arm. An obvious downside is that Mirai loses her better arm from using this technique, and it took a good while for it to be built the first time. Getting another could take up to two weeks, leaving her weak and unfit for duty for that duration. Debatably the bigger weakness would be the possibility of her not getting out of the blast zone in time, as the fuse is short and the range is wide. Thankfully she's had some practice and could probably make it. Probably. Same goes for any opponents who realize what is going on. They, too, have the same three seconds to make a break for it. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Left Arm Weapon, tool or object type: An advanced, mechanical prosthetic arm that Mirai uses during her waking hours. Description: Made of steel and powered by chakra, this arm is far superior to the one Mirai had lost. Not only is it incredibly durable and stable, but it also has multiple hidden weapons integrated into the forearm for surprise attacks. It houses a mechanism that fires a brief volley of senbon, contains a hidden poison-tipped spike, and even multiple exploding tags that will detonate if the arm is severed from Mirai (again). It also boasts significantly higher strength as compared to her right arm, as the entire left arm up to the shoulder is prosthetic. Notably it also weighs a respectable amount, adding onto Mirai's total weight on a scale to make her seem much bulkier than she actually is. Despite this weight it moves at an identical speed to her right arm, though because it is made of metal it packs much greater force behind every movement. Weapon, tool, or object name: Kunai Weapon, tool, or object type: Kunai Description: They're fucking kunai. Weapon, tool, or object name: Shuriken Weapon, tool, or object type: Shuriken Description: They're not fucking kunai. Weapon, tool, or object name: Smoke Bombs Weapon, tool, or object type: Smoke Bombs Description: Small bombs that explode into smoke, useful for many things. Direct hits don't really hurt anyone though, unfortunately. Can be attached to kunai for greater distance on throws. Weapon, tool, or object name: Ninjato Weapon, tool, or object type: Ninjato Description: A short sword with a straight blade, positioned horizontally across the back of Mirai's waist. Useful for, surprise, cutting things. This is Mirai's primary method of self-defense should an opponent get too close for her comfort. Weapon, tool, or object name: Explosive Tags Weapon, tool, or object type: Explosive Tags Description: Chakra-infused tags that detonate a few seconds after activation. Useful for blowing things up. Can be attached to kunai for a flashy surprise.
51,123	1,381	30	1,221	49	Tanji Tsugiharu Within A CLusterfuck, Konoha Ame-Suna Border, Harvest Festival Tsugi cursed under his breathe, his bells did in fact do their job in disrupting the fight, but within the chaos and confusion not many were caught in its affects and he may do more harm than good as more confederates showed up. This was all the more apparent in a duel between the red head water dancer and -well I be damned- an Uchiha. Fuck, Tsugi messed up, audio genjutsu were just as potent to sharingan users as not, and the red-head swordsman while dazed, still had it in his thick head to go for an attack. Tsugi needed to act quick, less he lose a comrade to his own incompetence. He quickly prepped some more senbon, a vast array, belled or otherwise and formed seals for shadow senbon. With his bell's genjutsu still surely in the mind of the red-head, it would be very improbable to dodge the myriad of stings coming his way. Tsugi aimed for soft vitals, arteries in the neck, wrist and thigh, as well as joints, he didn't need many to hit, just enough to stun or impede the traitor's assult as the Uchiha recomposes herself. Should Tsugi's plan work, the man's mobility should be heavily diminished and hoped that this infernal battle can finally end. The odds were certainly stacked in the confederacy's favor, but he also felt that others were in danger as a disproportional number of confederate strength was consentrated in this area. He substituted with a clone hanging around the edge of the battle, still forgetting that he was in the Hyuga's form, and set off to assist any civilians in danger, mayhaps even regrouping with his squadmates. Tsugi was diligent in his work, upheaving civilians from rubble and taken out minor Red Sage underlings looking to loot or harass the citizens of the confederacy. He took great pleasure in making sure their last moments sane were just barely so. The citizenry were appreciative, but they kept thanking him and his "Great Clan's work," Tsugi just smiled, and thought it funny that his small family was being called great. Little did he know he was just offering free good press to the Hyugas, as he ran around still in the form of the Hyuga bastard.	“I think he's dead -er, well, everybody else think he is, but now I'm not sure.” An unassuming man by most standards, not impressive or lacking in most aspects, just simply there. Short, if a bit rustled, brown hair, with a square face free of any scars or blemishes and average everyday brown eyes, in the academy you wouldn't really notice him in the sea of exceptional talent, but he gets by.Not particularly skinny, tall, muscular, just a healthy and acceptable male in his early 20's. Probably not going to amount to much beyond being a low-tier Jonin if he's lucky. Probably. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Tanji Tsugiharu 【Alias】 The Master Coward 【Affiliation】 Confederacy 【Age】 22 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Straight 【Birthplace】 Kusagakure 【Bloodline】 The Long, and Ancient Line of Stalwart Customs House Guards, the Tanji House has protected the village from attacks from undeclared fruits, paperless neer-do-wells, and other dangers of the Border. 【Rank】 Chunin Psych. report. Tanji Tsugiharu has exhibited little to no extreme beliefs or jarring idiosyncrasies (which in itself might be one). The Confederacy has deemed him a loyal citizen of the state. He has a positive work ethic, follows rules and regulations to the letter save for the most exceptional situation (of which he has been disciplined and reprimanded as per the law). He is as kind and self-less as any bachelor of the confederacy is and is devoted to his position. 【Personality】 Rather mundane. Pleasant enough in many social interactions, and prefers to follow conversations rather than lead them himself. That said he has some good friends back in his home town and has made a decent few in his new post. Amicable to his clients, but oddly stoic and unfeeling when it comes to dealing with traitors and rebels. He prefers to spend his free time drinking with close friends in a quiet homely tavern or ramen shop, and has an odd fixation with karaoke. When off duty he spends his days with his small family back in his home town. In battle he is as serious as any good shinobi should be in those situations. He is selfless in his duty to the confederacy and has volunteered to be bait on multiple occasions on the condition that the battle ends quickly afterwards. When plans fail and battles are drawn out he doesn't panic too much, but 9 times out of 10 will opt to lead or support a withdrawal. "Live to fight another day." 【History】 Tsugiharu's parents were simple Chunin Guards with a Customs House on a major trade route, their duties were rather mundane and drool, but once in a while held excitement when travelers had disagreements with the customsofficer. The couple resided in a modest home after an unplanned pregnancy had made the two man and wife. It was tough going at first but the relative isolation and non-relevancy of the village made for a peaceful life, and they grew content and able with the new family. 14 years after the birth of their first son, and with much more financial stability the 2 deemed themselves ready for another son. The Tanji house lived peacefully for 3 more years until the dissent and turmoil of the Confederacy reached their village leading to a violent terrorist attack on the village's crossroads leading to their deaths. This left the 17 year old boy to care for his young brother, fortunately the Proprietor of the Customs House, who at that point was now an old family friend offered to shelter the 2 orphans until the 18th birthday of the elder brother who decided to not rely on the kindness of the Customs Master any longer. Such the 2 siblings lived in a shabby apartment the elder supporting the small family as a Customs House guard like his parents. He, Tanji Hamurato, would continue to support (and sometimes spoil) his younger brother as he took his own wife(Tanji Orimoto) and had a daughter (Tanji Ekka) of their own while was just starting high-school. Tsugiharu was an average student in his own right never excelling or lacking in any field or discipline. He was studious and forthwith at the academy but never went above or beyond what was required. His work as a Genin in his squad was also mundane sticking to class D and lower missions, in exception to one class C defense contract. Simply tasked with defending a local tavern from extorting thugs (non-shinobi rabble), the mission report told of the 3 genin having to deal with some thugs as the accompanying Jonin talked with the owners, but nothing really came out of it. However rumors that local gangster being rather jumpy, defensive and generally paranoid around small sounds and shadows circulated around the tavern's area. Come the Chunin exams though he displayed adept problem solving and leadership skills within his squad, but that might have just been in need rather than by ambition. He opted to remain quarrel-less and jovial with the other Genin and never really showed exceptionaltalent other than what was required to get through the trials. However it can be noted that during the elimination tournament that the young Tanji employed some rather harsh and quick measures using poisons, weapons and simple genjutsus to end matches before his opponents can truly pull out their trump cards. A good thing too, for the proctors had stated that if not for his "bag of cheap tricks" his opponents would have easily out-classed him had the fight dragged on. He was unceremoniously given the rank of Chunin, barely passing after having been defeated by the more Capable Genin that saw through his ruses in the final rounds of the tournament. After graduating opted to become a Contract work Shinobi unlike his family before him. He takes missions for the Confederacy as many times as he can, but seems to seek missions pertaining to the rooting out and apprehension of dissident and unloyal citizens and terrorists. Currently lives by himself in a modest apartment close to his work place. 【Family ties】 Lower-Middle Class, had some hardships for sure, but was never truly in danger of starving or dying of exposure. Such a life made Tsugiharu rather humble and soft-spoken. Hopes to keep up with his duties and occasionally visits his brother and his family. Tanji Hamurato \| Elder Brother \| (36), Kusagakure, Currently a guard at a customs house. Sanguine, always optimistic and smiling in many situations. Tanji Orimoto \| Sister-in-Law \| (35), Kusagakure, Housewife of Hamurato, Choleric, rather plain but has the charm of a country girl going for her. Demure and rather quiet in contrast to her husband. Tanji Ekka\| Niece \| 9, Kusagakure, Student, Mercurial, tempermental and extremely competitive. A bit of a tomboy and a much more naturally talented than her father and uncle in the academy. 【Dreams and fears】 Dreams of finally bringing the traitors and belligerents of the Confederacy to justice and hopes to finally see peace and order to the state. Fears of losing his family to the dangers that is the enemies of the Confederacy. Combat reports. Has a quite odd fighting style and might be the epitome of "work smarter not harder." Picks and chooses his engagements when he knows the enemy may be taken down quickly and with minimal loss. This usually ends up with him or a squad-mate in grievous condition so long the opponent is taken out before unnecessary damage is done to anybody else. Such operations usually include him stringing together a myriad of feints, illusions and gambits to ensure the enemy can be taken down in one decisive attack by his squad rather than prolonged engagements. This unfortunately makes him rather sub-par when caught unawares. As such he is most delegated to planned attacks on high value targets to either eliminate, apprehend or interrogate 【Fighting style】 Some might call his methods cowardice but it has kept him alive. He employs the liberal use of clones supplemented by heavy use of false sounds and images using his specialized study in illusionary genjustsu. He chips away at his opponents using small thrown weapons like shurikens and senbons to keep his opponent on edge and unfocused. While his genjutsu gives ample distractions and false visions he also uses fine rope and bells tied to said weapons to create snares and distractions for the slim but inevitable chance that his opponent finally makes a mistake. When they do he delivers a powerful and dibilitating poisons through the same methods as above when the opponent finally opens themselves up to receive his limited supply. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 NONE 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Bringer of Darkness Technique B rank techniques: Demonic Bells: Phantom Sound Chains (Uses a Network of Tuned Bells strung onto ropes to create a melody rather than a flute) Interrogation Genjutsu C rank techniques: Earth Release: Underground Projection Fish Technique. Illusion Bell Needles False Place Technique Sly Mind Affect Technique D-E rank techniques: Hell Viewing Technique Shadow Senbon Haze Clone Technique. Academy Jutsus (Substitions, transformation, clone) 【Custom made techniques】 False Sound Rank: C Range: Short - Medium (0m~10m) Description: Once someone is affected by the jutsu causes them to hear sounds under direction of the ninja that casted it. Can be dispelled as normal genjutsu can. Single target per cast (but can be casted on multiple targets). Also relies on the opponent being knowledgeable enough to make the sounds realistic (or not realistic) as possible. Jutsu name:Shadow Weapon Rank: C Short (Before throwing or using weapon): Description: Hide a small thrown weapon in the shadow of another item as it is being thrown. Not a summoned weapon, typically can be countered simply by opponent witnessing the actual weapon being thrown shortly after the concealing weapon is thrown, and dodging for 2 projectiles rather than 1. Additionally the weapon cannot transfer between shadows and becomes a normal seen projectile after the shadow is passed. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Senbon Weapon, tool or object type: Thrown Projectile Description:Small thin and light weapon the looks similar to sewing needles. No terribly damaging but can chip away at an opponent. Weapon, tool or object name: Shuriken Weapon, tool or object type: Thrown Projectile Description:Ninja stars man, common. Weapon, tool or object name: Kunei Weapon, tool or object type: Knife Description:Staple weapon of any good ninja.

51,124	1,381	31	1,787	2,152	Higōhō Hyuga „Bastard” Hamajō Confederation Higoho's Rescue The blue-haired fool had managed to dodge his initial attack, almost getting hit. Unluckily for Nori, the Gentle Fist style was dangerous even if you dodged the blows. While he wasn't able to launch the second attack he had wanted to, the first hit surely caused damage to Nori's side, as the Gentle Fist style would inject chakra even on a miss. And given that Nori had only managed to barely evade him, it was obvious he'd feel atleast something. Higoho bit his lip in annoyance as he stood his ground despite Nori's attack. Using his byakugan, he was able to discern the naginata being thrown regardless of it's camouflaged color and speed. Rather than dodging it, which would've proven to be easy enough, or blocking it and sending it flying away, Higoho stuck out his hand and moved back only a few centimeters, twisting his body to dodge the front of the naginata. With a quick movement he then snatched the naginata out of mid-air. If it hadn't been for his byakugan, he'd likely have been hit by the naginata, and he'd never have been able to grab the naginata out of the air like that. Higoho held onto the naginata for now, looking at Nori through the mist and noticing an incoming jutsu. It was too late to dodge it - then again, he didn't feel like the water was going to really do any damage. He kneaded some chakra at his feet, to keep him standing up and avoid being blasted away by the water torrent. He took the water torrent straight on the chest, but stayed upright regardless, not feeling too bothered by the water since he'd kneaded chakra at his feet to keep him standing. Suddenly an agonizing pain shook through his body, arms and legs, at first barely noticeable but quickly growing in strength. It was clear something was wrong with this water jutsu he was using. Higoho gritted his teeth but as the pain grew he let go of that constraint. “AAAAGH!” he yelled out loudly while he quickly stepped out of the water jet. The pain kept growing none the less, causing Higoho to look down at his arms and legs, which were visibly shaking from the agonizing pain at this point. But something was up.. with the Byakugan he was able to spot that something was wrong with his own chakra. Despite the pain he was feeling he managed to let go of the naginata, causing it to fall to the floor with a clang. He slapped his hands together, forming the tiger seal. “KAI!” he yelled, releasing himself from the genjutsu that was cast on him. What a fool.. didn't know the Byakugan can see through most genjutsu. Higoho bent down through his knees and grabbed the Naginata again, preparing to launch an attack. However, using his Byakugan, he could discern two interesting things from the corner of his eyes. First of all.. there were several objects with bells attached to them flying through the air. The bells were emitting some form of genjutsu, which Higoho figured out soon enough was a sound-based genjutsu. Atleast, that's the most reasonable thing he could come up with. Bells equal sound, genjutsu bell equals genjutsu sound. It made sense to Higoho. He didn't know the effects of this genjutsu however, so it was best to simply dispel it for himself. “KAI!” he yelled again, forming a one handed tiger seal. He wasn't sure if he had even been under it's influence, but dispelling it wouldn't hurt regardless of whether he had been effected or not. The second thing he saw, was that a girl was fighting the red-haired prancing shinobi. While the shinobi was.. peculiar, to say the least, he was somewhat capable atleast, other than the blue-haired guy who had been improvising for most of the fight. Then again, the Byakugan was a worthy opponent for anyone, especially given Higoho's skill level with it. And it was likely that Nori had never even noticed the Byakugan to begin with. Higoho looked at the naginata in his hand, before looking at Mikoto again. He swung his arm back before launching it forwards - releasing the naginata that didn't even belong to him, and sending it hurdling through the mist towards Mikoto. Given the fact that Nori had a camouflaged naginata that worked perfectly in the mist, it was unlikely but possible that Mikoto somehow saw the Naginata. Regardless of whether he saw it, dodging, blocking or reacting in any way would require Mikoto to somehow let go of his attention on the girl he was fighting. But Higoho hadn't meant to help her - he was just trying to kill that annoying fellow. After the naginata had been thrown, Higoho rushed through the battlefield again giving only some time for Tanji's senbon to pass by, whistling with those annoying bells.Higoho was ignoring Nori now, and heading straight for Mikoto. Unless Mikoto was a sensory, or had vision in the mist somehow, Higoho was fairly certain he'd get the drop on the guy. An opened palm was drawn back, and once he was close to Mikoto, launched forwards towards the guys chest. Using the gentle fist style, he didn't even need to hit him to do damage, all he needed to do was close. And given the aggressiveness of Higoho's attacks, it would be easy to get close. His attack wouldn't stop there - he would throw four more of these open palm strikes, all intended to kill, and all would only have to get close to deal damage. As soon as he was finished with the flurry of strikes, he'd jump back landing next to the girl - which he could see now was an Uchiha. He scoffed, collected some spit in his mouth and spit it out in front of the girl. “Just like the Uchiha bastards to stick their noses in a fight that's not theirs. I was fighting these two Red Sage monkeys, so go play 'destructor of the world' somewhere else, with your fucking curse of hatred.” he said aggressively, obviously not impressed with the girl what-so-ever. The Sharingan, the strongest dojutsu? A newborn baby with the Byakugan was stronger than the most skilled Sharingan user.. After glancing at the Uchiha girl he peered forwards into the mist again, keeping an eye on Mikoto to see if he was dead or still alive after those five attacks. Seijo Tametomo „Lady Commander Tametomo” Red Sage If I Die Tonight Seijo looked at Yudai as if he was crazy, her right eyebrow slightly raised as he 'confessed' that it wasn't him. She looked over at Katsuko, before looking back at Yudai and raising a finger as if she was a teacher about to tell something important. “Now, now, young recruit. No need to be so humble. I know Katsuko, and I know he couldn't possibly have knocked all those shinobi unconscious. You don't have to play pretend with me. Did he pay you to say that? Corruption won't be tolerated, you know.” she said, looking serious as ever. No more words would be spilled on the subject however, and she watched boy disappear under ground, supposedly to travel under the barrier and take care of it so she could enter. Her deadly glance shifted to Katsuko now, watching on as he was doing his thing. She snorted as he said nobody was more capable than him, obviously disagreeing with him. Curse of Katsuko. Suddenly she sharply replied to him when he got angry at her for using his name. “Shut up, idiot. If you're so strong like you think you are, everyone would know your name already.” She looked to the side where now a mist had formed, raising an eyebrow as she turned her body to it. Wasn't that girl there before? “Baka. Baka Moto is what his parents should've named him..” she mumbled to herself as she carefully watched the mist. Suddenly, from the corner of her eye, she spotted a lightning bolt- wait, no, three?! It suddenly split! Moving quickly, Seijo pushed her hands together and rapidly formed seals, before spreading her hands wide and pushing them on the floor. “Fungus Release: Invocation of Nature!” she said out loud. From under her shirt came a surge of moss, spreading onto the floor and slightly outwards of Seijo's position. She stood up straight again, seeing the bolts appear rapidly now. She had to move quickly now. She pushed her hands together and formed a string of three seals before moving her hands towards the moss. “Fungus Release: Control of Nature!” She gestured upwards with her hands, almost as if she was pulling the moss up with invisible strings. But the moss reacted, going up and forming a small wall in front of her, about 2 meters wide and three meters high. She didn't know if the moss would hold the bolts back, but even if they did, she'd have stopped most of the force most likely. From the corner of her eye however, she also spotted a shimmering of light. Several shuriken flew towards her, blinking in the light slightly as they left the mist and entered her sight. Moving quickly she turned her body and arms to the right, where the shurikens were coming from. The wall expanded in a circular fashion, following her body movements, and caught the shuriken in them. They stuck out like they would out of wood. She'd stopped the attacks now, and could rest easy again. She relaxed her arm muscles and let her arms fall, only forming the tiger seal. “Release.” she said calmly, and when she did the moss in front of her that formed the wall dissipated, crumbling slowly and falling to the floor, where it got absorbed into the patch of moss at Seijo's feet. She wasn't concerned seemingly, only looking into the mist for a moment before scanning for whomever had shot those bolts. Explosions went off around her, but she wasn't sure where those had come from either. Possibly from the same shinobi? Never the less she stood calm, almost as if the explosions didn't phase her whatsoever. She simply peered out looking for the person that did this. She wasn't able to discern any shinobi from the direction the bolts had come from - but she did notice someone scaling the wall nearby. Thinking quickly, she formed handseals and held on to the tiger seal. Slowly she started sinking into the moss patch below her, which was sprouting mushrooms and small tree saplings. Her eyes remained on the figure on the rooftops - not wanting to risk losing her. While the sinking-into-the-ground was slow, appearing was less so. Even if Akio had seen her vanish, she'd be clueless as to where she had gone.. until Seijo suddenly rushed out of the ground merely half a meter away from Akio. She immediately stuck out her hand while holding the tiger seal with her other hand, attempting to grab her shoulder. While being silent and not saying anything was the tactically superior choice, and would lead to an almost certain grab, Lady Tametomo had become quite worked up. “Hey! You the one shooting those bolts of lightning at me, with that bow of yours?” Her words rung loudly, likely to catch the attention of those nearby. Her face was contorted in anger now, very much so annoyed by those bolts and shuriken that were thrown and shot at her. If she managed to grab her, moss would expand out of the pores in her fingers and creep onto Akio's shoulder, burrowing itself into her pores and tenketsu, finding it's way into her body. Once inside, they'd simply sit there and start 'eating' chakra. The more moss found itself in her body, the more chakra would be taken from her. A simple, but efficient technique. Ofcourse, that was all under the impression that Akio got grabbed by Seijo. Meanwhile, Neki nodded at Arima. With his tail, he slapped the politician over head once again to make sure he was knocked out cold - just in case Arima wasn't capable enough to do even that. Soon after the politician was pulled into Neki's mouth using it's large tongue. He didn't have much time to do anything at all though, as Arima had already picked the next target. Neki glanced over and only nodded, not wanting to speak given there was, well, a human inside it's mouth. And you don't talk with food in your mouth, that'd be rude. Slowly Neki stepped forwards, heading for the large constructs with the shields, and then started a slow but obviously bouldering charge. But the constructs were smart and disappeared at the back, leaving an opening for the civilians to escape. And while the three shield things dissipated, a new one appeared, looking more vicious. It attacked Neki, charging at it's neck and legs. Most the attacks were guarded against using the large tail it had, but the tail wasn't fast enough to keep up forever. And if that wasn't bad enough, the floor was getting hot, hot, HOT? “AAAARIMAAAAAA!” it yelled, causing the ground to shake from the power of it's voice, given it was deep enough to make even a grown man sound like a four year old girl. From inside the mouth, muffled screams from a certain politician could also be head. “Enoouuuughh! I am.. going home!!” the newt said, trying to step away from the lava. Ofcourse, being slow as it was, it only ended up a few steps away from the edge, before it decided it had had enough and dissapeared in a poof. It appeared again in it's home, an underwater cave. It slowly got out of the water sighing heavily before using it's tongue to pull the politician out of it's mouth and placing it down on the ground in a corner. The politician had feinted, probably from the strange experience of being inside the newt's mouth. It would be stressful, to say the least, for non shinobi. Neki then moved over to a comfy chair, sitting down casually and pulling on the string of a lamp turning it on. Using it's paws it took some reading glasses and grabbed it's book, starting to read as if it had just gone through an average day, despite the fact that it had just been in a large battle.	Partisans Cool Guy Group Entry not allowed to peasants I'm talking about you Savato “To kindle that memory is all I strive for - all this, it has no greater purpose to me. But it's all I can do.” Pictured on the left, Seijo is obviously a well matured woman. Her age would probably be estimated in her early twenties, around 23 or so. That seems to be fairly accurate given her personnel files. What stands out most in her physique are probably her white, short hair and her large breast size. She struts a feminine hourglass figure with wide hips and a wide chest, and a smaller waistline. Adding to that her hips often sway side to side effortlessly, only adding to her appearance as a good looking woman. She stands rather tall for a woman at about 1.74m, and weighs approximately 62 kilo's, though you can guess where most of that weight is located. Her jawline is sharp, almost as if drawn with a pencil and a ruler. Her chin is slightly pointed, but rounded off enough to stop it from appearing like a pointy spear, ready to pierce your body. She has a small mouth with somewhat thin lips, which are pale in color and are only a slight tint darker than her skin. Her large eyes are a brown colour, framed by her eyebrows. Her eyebrows are thin, most likely maintained by Seijo herself. The only thing that stops people from seeing her as only a beautiful woman, are most likely her facial expressions. She's quick to anger. Personnel files.

Should be obvious, heh. 【Sexuality】 Noticeably bisexual. 【Birthplace】 Amegakure. 【Bloodline】 Tametomo. 【Rank】 Lady Commander of the Red Sages, approximated jonin level. Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Assessments of Seijo have shown her to be a brotherly-friendly type of person. She's someone that enjoys very much when you fall down face first in the muddy puddle, and who will gladly spend a few years laughing about that. Never the less she's outgrown that feeling, or at the very least tried to. She's more serious now, which is in line with her position as Lady Commander of the Red Sages. She's still bitter - about the confederation, about the wars, about everything really, and she makes no attempts to hide that. She hates everything about the Confederation, and in her mind, if you are not a Red Sage, you must be a confederate sympathizer. That has grown increasingly prominent in her plans on beating the Confederation now that her brother Tarara died. She's very vengeful, you could say, and it's hard for her to let go of a grudge. Besides this she's also very cocky when it comes down to it, perhaps a bit ruthless, but so far nobody has really dared to stand up against her or question her plans - and she intends to keep it that way. To her, nothing will stand in the way of beating the Confederation, not even her own death. And while before she was fighting merely for freedom, since Tarara's death she's also fighting for him. 【History】 Seijo was born in Amegakure two years apart from her older brother Tarara. They were a semi-happy family, as life in Amegakure wasn't always that great. Especially when it became apparent that two Amegakure shinobi, Ayame and Fujitora, had taken power in Konohagakure. The Amegakure people faced paranoia from all other nations than Konohagakure, seriously hurting their trade power. Then again, it didn't seem to matter much as shortly after Ayame and Fujitora came to power wars started breaking out. Some were even started by Ayame and Fujitora, so it was no surprise Amegakure got involved quickly. By the time that had all happened, Seijo was already a shinobi of fighting age, and was pushed to the front. Luckily for the family all our of them were shinobi, her mother being a strong shinobi with some sensory powers, her father being a taijutsu specialist and her older brother, Tarara, being simply a shinobi. What put Seijo apart from the rest of her family was the utilization of a special kekkei genkai that seemed to have skipped a few generations. In the wars sometimes she'd fight alongside her family, sometimes she'd fight alone with her own squad, but luckily for them they all returned home safe and sound - though Tarara had lost an eye to an enemy kunai. The wars weren't really finished, but something greater was at large. The Confederation arose some time later, and Amegakure being a small village wasn't able to withstand the pressure. They were forced to integrate into the Confederation and were made into the capital - many Amegakure citizens were forced to leave to make way for presidential buildings, apartments for envoys etcetera. While Seijo's mother and father remained behind to 'hold down the fort', Tarara and Seijo left to join up with a band of 'outlaws' that roamed the land. They were Amegakure shinobi who refused to submit to the Confederation, so not quite the rebels they were made out to be. They roamed around the lands for some time and sometimes clashed with other shinobi groups, conflicting for reasons that were no longer valid ever since the confederation had taken over. Over time Tarara grew to become the leader and Seijo his right hand, since there were deaths aplenty in these times and the leaders were usually prime targets - if not for mutiny then for battle with other shinobi groups. At that time the Red Sages were already around and Tarara led the group to join with the Red Sages. The organisation was picking up pace quickly and they made Tarara a captain, and was immediately sent out on missions. The missions varied greatly and Seijo was sometimes sent on missions too, ranging from picking up some equipment, to sabotaging infrastructure. Over time Tarara showed his leadership qualities again and when the previous leader died from old age, Tarara was designated to take over. Seijo wasn't bitter about being in his shadow so much, just wishing to do what was right for her family. But unfortunately Tarara didn't last long, as he was assasinated in the dead of the night by some special operations force from the Confederation. The fight didn't last long at all - Tarara and the few shinobi that were around put up a fierce fight but there were many shinobi, and not enough of the Red Sages. Before reinforcements could arrive Tarara was killed. There was no designation of leadership. To Seijo, there was no question who would take over. It would be her, or she'd leave the Red Sages and do the job herself. But when she claimed leadership, there wasn't anyone that wished to oppose her at that time. The fire burning in her eyes now was enough to dissuade anyone from attempting that, even if they had wanted to. 【Family ties】 The family Seijo grew up in wasn't anything special. There's no sobstories involved, with dead parents, loss of loved ones in the past, growing up an orphan. And there weren't so many happy stories, given that they were in Amegakure, which wasn't exactly the most peaceful nor rich place in the world. Never the less she loves her family, or what is left of it at the current point in time. After all, conflict breeds death. Tarara Tametomo \| Brother \| 30 at time of death, Amegakure, lord commander of the Red Sages. He always loved Red Panda's. Seijo didn't, and she regrets that now. Oiro Tametomo \| Father \| 56, Amegakure, ex-shinobi, currently has a ramen restaurant that serves to the poor. It also serves to the rich. Really, it serves to anyone, he just says he serves to the poor because that sounds better. Rei Tametomo \| Mother \| 54, Amegakure, ex-kunoichi and professional nagger. She likes to nag about a lot of things, especially about Oiro not making his ramen properly. 【Dreams and fears】 Seijo's dreams are really only related to destroying or atleast getting even with the confederation. Besides that she wishes to see her father and mother again in peace one day, but she realizes that that might not be a possibility. Another dream is to meet with one of the Choko siblings - Fujitora or Ayame - though she has heard that it's possible both are deceased since the Confederation took over. Her fears, well, she hasn't many, which has more to do with her attempts at being seen as a coldheaded leader. She ofcourse fears losing her life - she is human and every human fears this. But this fear isn't in the back of her head whenever she enters battle. A fear that is also present is the fear of losing her followers - while she doesn't care directly for their support, she knows she needs them to succeed in her goals. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Seijo is a medium distance fighter with a focus on utilizing jutsu to keep the enemy at bay and kill them. That aside however she possesses some strength and is capable of using taijutsu if she needs to as well - quite adequately even. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Fungus Release Description: The Fungus release allows the user a control over fungal-style plants and moss, which would be able to sprout from the users touch. Remarkably harmless in how it sounds, it's been weaponized quite well through years of practice. The origins of this release are unknown, but the uses are not. It doesn't manifest in clear sight, as the fungus used in this release are housed inside the users body, feeding off of the waste the host produces. As such the user has a notoriously quicker metabolism, as well as a noticeably lower rate of human waste dispersion. In use, the release manifests itself through the obvious moss and fungus it produces. The moss is highly flammable, but the large area of effect jutsu's that can be used with it can cause a spreading fire, or even an explosion, since the spores it releases are very dense. This might inadvertently trap everyone inside the technique, friend or foe, in a fiery vortex. Besides that, the moss has some interesting capabilities, such as genjutsu inducing properties, poison inducing properties or even a chakra and dead tissue absorbing quality, much a kin to real moss and fungi. Some specific branch of the fungi even have mind-controlling capabilities, but it's required to induce the fungal spores into the target by touch, after which it will grow it's way towards the targets brain internally and take over, collect info or possibly control them. Strengths: Versatile and allows the user to regain strength and chakra mid-battle through absorbtion of dead tissue. It's got a great variety for many situations and it's not obvious exactly what is going on with this bloodline limit until it's used. Weaknesses: Fire and (controlled) chakrablasts can somewhat easily deal with the fungi, although you have to be careful with the chakra since the moss can also feed off of it if used improperly. Besides that, it becomes easy to see what the bloodline limit entails once it's used, as it's obvious this is moss or fungus. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu Assimilate All Creation Technique B rank techniques: Barrier: Dome Method Technique 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Transportation Technique Rank: C Range: N/A. Description: Forming the tiger seal, the user sinks into the ground into a small circle of moss with toadstools in it, seemingly dissapearing. A simple transportation technique, this technique will then allow the user to appear somewhere else in the same circle of moss with toadstools in it, which seem to appear out of nowhere to anyone watching. The technique is usable in battle, but the sinking effect is slow allowing opponents to land hits while she is 'sinking' into the patch of moss. Never the less, the appearing effect is quickly, allowing Seijo to appear out of nowhere rather quick and attacking. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Invocation of Nature Rank: B Range: 500m diameter. Description: After forming a boar-hare-ram seal string, and then slamming the palm into the ground, the user can transform the area around themselves into a mossy field by spreading the moss inside their body rapidly over the land, capable of terraforming even the most arid lands into moss and fungus covered 'grasslands' which will quickly (10 minutes) give rise to many forms of plantlife and even small trees (30 minutes). This technique seems semi-useless but it allows the user to transform land into something both useful, and to create a place where she is at home. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Control of Nature Rank: B Range: 500m diameter. Description: Using the moss that is already present in an area, the user is able to control the fungus and moss to a degree, making it capable of grabbing feet, forming walls and also spreading it even further, as long as the controlled substance stays in contact with moss or the user. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Deterioration of Spores Rank: B Range: A cone of 20m outwards of the user, in a triangle shape. Description: Inhaling deeply and placing an open palm in front of the mouth, the user exhales and blows out a large amount of spores over the area in front of her, which carry a poisonous substance that can cause anyone that inhales the spores to start breathing heavily, growing stronger and ultimately choking them by growing fungal growths in their throat over the course of a week if left untreated. Anyone that gets into contact with them externally, such as skin contact, will develop rashes which burn heavily, but are non lethal and can easily be treated as well. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Fungal Chakra Sap technique Rank: A Range: Touch. Description: After spreading fungus from one person (user) to the other (target) the user is able to 'infect' the target with fungus, by touching them and so spreading the fungus and moss to them. The user might notice, but will find it is hard to get rid of the fungus once it's internal through the chakra tenketsu. Once inside, the fungus will slowly sap away the enemies chakra, eating it to strengthen itself. After approximately a minute, the chakra eating fungus will be 'full' and detach itself, either falling off of the body, or being taken away by the blood system of the target. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Hallucination of Spores Rank: B Range: A cone of 50m outwards from the user. Description: Inhaling deeply and placing an open palm in front of the mouth, the user exhales and blows out a large amount of spores over the area in front of her, which are infused with the users' chakra and can carry over a genjutu upon being touched by a spore. Since it's easy to be freed from a genjutsu this technique is generally used only when fighting small groups. The genjutsu is capable of doing pretty much anything a high level genjutsu can do, giving the user pretty much full control over the effects of the genjutsu, while using the subconcious of the target to identify and use psychologically harmful events. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Greater Deterioration of Spores Rank: A Range: An area of 1km in diameter. Description: Similar to the normal deterioration of spores technique, this technique can cover entire battlefields in spores, transmitting the poison to anyone that inhales the spores, and also onto any allies that get harmed. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Ultimate Siphoning Jutsu Rank: S Range: Medium Description: After covering a field in moss, the user will then use their Control technique to encase an opponent in a special type of moss that hardens tremendously when it comes into contact with foreign chakra. It makes it able to withstand hard blows from taijutsu, weaponry and most jutsu. Encasing the opponent, the user then starts using the moss to siphon chakra, and transfer it to themselves to refill their reserves. What makes this S-rank is the speed at which this occurs - within ten minutes a target will be drained of nearly all chakra, at which point the technique can be disabled and the target 'freed' although with the little amount of chakra they would have left, they'd be as good as disabled for the duration of the fight. Jutsu name: Summoning: Neki the Newt Rank: C Range: N/A. Description: This summoning technique summons Neki the Newt. Given the qualities of a newt, this newt is capable of high speed water traversal as well as shooting water out of it's mouth. It's size is medium sized (it's aproximately 2m. high and 4m. long) and is big enough to carry two people in it's mouth at once if they are standing up. Weaknesses: Weaknesses to all internal fungi, such as the inhalation of the poisonous spores, or being touched by either the fungal parasite technique or chakra sap technique are external chakra. This is due to the fact that the moss and fungi adapt to the targets chakra, feeding off of it for sustainability. Any external chakra will offset it and make it deteriorate, as well as the effects with it. As such you can be pulled out of the genjutsu with external chakra (as is the case with regular genjutsu as well), you can stop the effects of spreading poisonous moss and fungus due to the Deterioration of Fungus technique, although the effects it's had on the target up until that point will remain (i.e you won't get rid of the rash, or the internal burning sensation it created). A weakness for external moss (the spores in the air, or the moss on the ground) is that it's highly flamable, however this is also a strength because it can be used against you. “I do not give to receive - I simply take.” If I die tonight Higōhō is a man of reasonable build, especially considering he practices a mostly non contact style of fighting. He's not precisely buff, more like lean, but that's just the way he likes it. His arms are toned as well as his chest and stomach which is more or less the extent of his build. He has a rounded jawline, with a round chin, protruding slightly from the rest of his faces' contours. The skin on his face is rather tight - it wouldn't be possible to pinch and pull his cheeks. He has a very thin nosebridge, and a slightly pointed nose. If one had to label it, his nose were likely to be seen as about average sized. Some of his facial features that stand out a lot are his pure white eyes which conflicts with his black hair and the black shirts he always wears. Although his outfit always changes (he's quite aware of fashion, and although he doesn't follow the latest trends, he likes to dress in ways that make him feel good) he has one consistent piece of clothing in his look - his necklace. On this necklace is the mon of the Hamajō Confederation. One could say he is very much a patriot. And the nice things one can say about him end about there. Personnel files.

Hyuga. 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Higōhō isn't a nice person whatsoever. He's very sure of himself, cocky to some, arrogant to others. It doesn't help that he's not weak, either. He believes very strongly in himself, and although he's smart enough to know that he's no Madara or Pain, he knows he's strong. Not only is that because of the Byakugan, it's also because of his own hard work he thinks, as well as some natural skill he feels like he has. His cockiness and arrogance has lead him to become quite careless when conversing with people - you can call him an asshole, a lighter term would be being rude. Truth is, he just doesn't really care. If a girl asks him what he thinks of her dress, and he doesn't like it, he'll tell her the dress is ugly. If her face is ugly too, well, he'll probably tell her that too. Though that doesn't mean he would dislike this person, he just thinks himself above most people, so he feels a right to say that. Ofcourse, if he likes something, he isn't afraid to say that either. But he doesn't like that much things. In battle.. do I even need to say this? He's arrogant. He's a bit overzealous at times, and doesn't know his own limits, willing to take on things that are above his own skill level. But so far that's not really ever gone wrong terribly. Aside that, you can call him dumb, or you can call him brave, but he doesn't really give up. You'll have to kill him, knock him out, or cut off his legs and arms if you want him to stop getting up after you pummel him. To him, it doesn't matter. Dying is more honorable than giving up. Besides his arrogant appearance and his lack of care for people around him - the catch is that really he does care. Being a bastard child and - boo-hoo-hoo - not receiving a lot of attention, love, nurturing and care, meant that to Higōhō he had to appear like he didn't care, to not give his father the satisfaction of being broken by his lack of care. This carried over to his adult years. And while he might not care for others because he likes them, he cares for their well being since they are in the same battalion. So, he'll be very sacrificial if he needs to be, willing to give his life up for something like a mission or another person. 【History】 Higōhō was born 18 years ago, to a Hyuga side branch member and a woman of lesser morals. Not exactly a brilliant future ahead of himself, especially since he was born with the Byakugan and thus it was demanded that he was handed over to the Hyuga's He was immediately given the cursed seal on his forehead. A stain of shame on his father's reputation, and already that of his own. Not like a newborn baby was aware of such concepts as reputations. But during his childhood his father made it painfully obvious that he wasn't exactly wanted - 'an accident' - and later one even went as far as saying that he was a stain on the family name, a bastard child who was never meant to be. He shrugged it off, really, because at that point it became apparent that his father was a deadbeat, only allowed to stay in the Hyuga home because his drinking problem and gambling addiction would bring shame to the family if word ever got out. Most of his childhood he was micro-managed by the nannies and tutored by the older members. More often than not he was treated as a child that wasn't supposed to be there, but they put up with him regardless. He showed progress in using the byakugan, especially the gentle fist, as if some sort of innate skill with that style was already within him. Whether that was true or not remained to be seen but fact of the matter was he did good in classes. As soon as he became 7, he was sent to the shinobi academy, because a bastard child had nothing better to become than a shinobi anyway. He did well. Well enough, anyway. Didn't exactly want to be there but hadn't much other choice. At that point in time he had already thought to himself that his only purpose in life was really to be a shinobi - and to fight for the confederation. The confederate soldiers were sort of his heroes, warriors fighting to protect their homes, true patriots, yadda yadda. He loved them. So, he figured, why not become one? The Confederation took over at that point and since then his class was kind of filled with masses of kids. That meant that, even though there were many prospect shinobi that were at a good level, there were far more useless kids who were only there because their parents want them to be. And that meant Higōhō would stand out a little. Welp, he passed, no big surprise. Got to be a genin running around doing stuff like saving kittens from trees and stuff. It didn't matter, he was still a confederate shinobi, which felt good. It didn't take him too long to become a chunin - the Confederation took an interest in him due to the Byakugan, and so his promotion came rather easy. And here we are! 【Family ties】 His family is mostly the Hyuga clan - his father, ofcourse, and then the nannies and teachers that he worked with. The other kids, he supposes, were 'okay'. He didn't really got bullied, so that's a plus. Katso Hyuga \| Father \| 47, his room in the Hyuga estate, professional deadbeat. 【Dreams and fears】 He dreams of, one day, becoming a jonin and leading a team, or perhaps even becoming a captain for the confederation and entering the political world of the Confederation. Besides that, he kinda wants to live a calm life after his service. What a simple soul. His fear is probably dying by Curse Seal - it'd be hard knowing you're gonna die without being able to fight back. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Higōhō is a very close combat oriented fighter, using the gentle fist. He is a proficient gentle fist user, capable of ousting most other nintaijutsu users with his own, and being a force to be reckoned with even within the Hyuga clan. That is not to say he'll beat anyone, however. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Byakugan Description: I can copy paste this URL here or you can just read it if you have no idea about byakugan (you barbar). His byakugan has a maximum range of 12 km, though that's only when he's not doing anything intensive (such as fighting). 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Eight Trigrams Mountain Crusher B rank techniques: Gentle Fist (style) Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm Eight Trigrams Sixty-four Palms Eight Trigrams Thirty-two Palms C rank techniques: Palm Bottom Tenketsu Needle 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Eight Trigrams Vacuum Combo Rank: C Range: Very close. Description: The jutsu is nothing more than a combination of a gentle fist move with the vacuum palm move. First the user spins around on their axle, using their left/right hand (depending on the way you spin) to open up the victims' body by slapping away any defensive hand placements, before slapping their palm forwards and using the vacuum palm technique. “Watashi wa Kami - I am still God.” Over the past 11 years Yamato hasn't changed much - appearance wise - in comparison with before the Hamajo confederation arrived. He's grown in size, reaching up to 1.83cm by now. He still dresses the same - tshirts, a-shirts or sweatshirts with some form of jacket over them. He usually wears chino's like he did before, but has traded his slip-in's for a pair of black combat boots. Yamato is defined as a handsome boy, having a chiseled jawline and somewhat skinny-looking cheeks. His nose bridge is quite thin, although not as if it were a stripe. Contrary to most with a thin nosebridge, his nostrils are also thin. Besides that he has no specific bone structure related characteristics. His eyes are a deep dark green, but not so dark that they can be mistaken for a grey-black colour. In accordance with genetics they are slightly slanted. The most defining features on his face are most likely his 3 large, reddish old scars running across his nose. Yamato's body is 'normal' in terms of muscle and fat, though it's improved compared to 11 years ago. He has some obviously defined muscled due to the nature of their schooling, as a normal shinobi is expected to keep up with his athletic properties. His arms are skinny, meaning that the muscles there are by nature more defined, but due to hard training, they are also very much so toned to perfection. Without flexing you could most likely see the muscles regardless. The same goes for his legs. His chest is not very broad nor does it extend towards the front due to musclemass. As such he has a rather 'normal' looking chest. Regardless he does have some definition there, although you probably wouldn't see it very often due to his clothes. Personnel files.

Although as every other clan they have to grow with the times, and as such many customs have become merely symbolical and don't actually hold much significance. These customs are almost always on par with that of the other clans, since the clan is not much different from the others. That said, they have since their waning influence, dabbled more into even darker trades, and many of the Minamoru which were not shinobi, have become actively involved in the illegal arms trade, drugs trade, prostitution and other illegal activities. 【Special Traits】 Males are known to be born with black hair specifically, with the females usually being born with either black hair, or white hair. Chances seem to be 50/50 for either of the colour. Their eyes are green, differing only in coloration between dark and light green. The Minamoru do not have any hiden or kekkei genkai - in fact, they despise kekkei genkai and see it as a curse, where as hiden are seen as a pest, but 'acceptable.' 【Influences】 The Minamoru influence on Konohagakure was very, very big. Some of it was subtle, such as underground influences due to the Yakuza affiliations they have, or rather.. the fact that they lead one of the three largest Yakuza groups in Konohagakure, and dealt in things like Senju DNA, Sharingan black trade (rare) or even the drug trade. Their affiliations in this field are obvious to those involved, but to the outside world, it seems completely preposterous that the Minamoru, a powerful and high 'n mighty clan is involved in this. Besides that they were a huge economical influence 11 years ago, because they owned more or less 60% of all of Konoha's economical centre with Minamoru Enterprises. The remaining 40% is, thankfully for Konoha, not theirs since the other Yakuza groups were trying hard to wrangle control away from them. The fact that they own most of the economical centre should probably say enough about their economical influence but this is not to say that all this money flows directly into the pockets of the Minamoru clan - bribes, wages, etcetera all is paid from these funds. Finally the political aspect of the clan, which was not as big as it's underground or economical influence. Never the less it's still present - the fact that the Minamoru are a shinobi clan in essence (though, that is debateable very much so) gave them a small influence, and their alliances with other clans, as well as their feuds with some of the others, are a reason that they were politically well regarded, though not as high as the Hyuga or the Uchiha, or even the Uzumaki's although those have recently been more forthcoming towards the Minamoru. Ever since the death of Reijo at the hands of Fujitora Choko, the clan has fallen, and fallen deep. The only Minamoru of relative high stands are the shinobi, and even those have been falling ever so slightly. The only two remaining shinobi with a grain of honor left are Reijo's children - Rei Minamoru, a 25 year old medical kunoichi, and Yamato Minamoru himself, the heir to the clan after his uncle passes away. Never the less the clan has no estates left - all financial enterprises, shops, financial buildings were given away by Fujitora Choko to rival companies to ensure that the Minamoru held Yakuza group received no financing. Their political power waned as Reijo was the politician of the clan - the other Minamoru were regarded as too hotheaded and his uncle was a drunk, so he barely did anything with the clan. The Minamoru are barely a remnant of themselves, if they can even be called that. 【Relations】 Naito - the Naito clan is one of the clans that the Minamoru have been feuding with for the longest time. The feud started about 200 years ago, when both the Minamoru and the Naito were relatively new to Konoha. Ever since it's been dubbed the Feud of the Tiger and the Dogs. The long standing feud hasn't subsided just yet as members of this clan frequently clash - be it with words, swords, or politics. No longer applicable. The Naito clan is wiped out. 【History】 The Minamoru clan was founded quite recently compared to the other clans such as the Uchiha or the Hyuga. They were not part of the original founding clans, and migrated later as a result of economical changes. They weren't originally shinobi but quickly managed to adapt into a Shinobi clan effortlessly. They were comprised of highly driven individuals that wished to become the greatest at, more or less, whatever they attempted. It didn't always succeed, actually, more often than not, but you only need to give one glance to the current status of the clan to see how far they kicked it in those 200 years, compared to the Uchiha. Never the less they don't quite fit into Konoha - they are not so much underhanded, and wouldn't do anything to directly harm Konoha, but they are very self centered and do anything they do for the clan or themselves, not for Konoha. Konoha is simply a means to an end for them. Never the less a feeling of pride and honour is also common place in the clan so Konoha needn't worry about the Minamoru betraying them. They do what they do for themselves, or atleast so they say, but deep down most of the Minamoru are quite self sacrificial, especially the shinobi. Those that aren't in the shinobi trade are often a whole different breed of people, mostly simply normal people and civilians. In short, that means they have a tough skin, cussing, feuding, and appear somewhat rude and cold. Underneath that however are people that deeply respect tradition, hierarchy and self sacrifice. They might not show it but it's definetely there. Moving on, they also don't fit Konoha because they are very outspoken against kekkei genkai - and sadly for Konoha (or the Minamoru's, depending on who you ask) there are plenty of clans with kekkei genkai's. This has been reason for them to be a bit of an outcast-clan compared to others, distancing themselves from main Konoha, living outside the village. Up until the mid-years, between Sarada and Boruto's births, and current situation, they were insignificant, standard fodder clans. However it was then that they broke through with the arrival of the ronin, that fueled the underground Yakuza operations that some of the Minamoru were involved in. Due to this they suddenly raised in power unexplainedly, gaining more funds to further their political influence and economical presence. It didn't take long before Reijo took over 40-so years later, and furthered that all even more, expanding their influences rather rapidly. 11 years later, in the Hamajō Confederation, there's not much left of the Minamoru clan. All estates are gone, only the housing area remaining. Everything is, more or less, gone. Only Fujitora Choko and his 11th corps are to be blamed - that much any shinobi in the Minamoru clan will tell you. 【Rank】 Jonin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Yamato used to be seen as a thug or a criminal in the making. Not far from the truth given his father was the largest criminal in the entire village - something Yamato has no particular feelings towards since to him it was a way of life since his birth. However Yamato was never a criminal - he might've done questionable things during his services to the Hamajō Confederation but never anything that he'd consider criminal activity. Something else that characterizes him is his aggressive tendencies, as he is very very quick to anger and is, very much so, an asshole to everyone he meets. Those that know him for longer, such as Akio Tendou or Aoi Don Maquia will testify to this. Yamato is a bright young man, widely regarded in Konohagakure as a prodigy of attack. This is seen in his psyche as well, as the boy has shown aggressive and violent tendencies from time. Some would call it a short fuse.. and others call it being a thug in the making. Regardless of which is true, the boy also has shown impeccable resilience, steadfastness and a healthy dose of respect for tradition. Rumor within the Minamoru clan has said this is due to the amount of training that got instilled into him at an early age, and that he instills into himself daily even still. The boy also hates kekkei genkai for one reason or another, a sentiment shared by the entire clan, and some radicals even go so far as to wish those with a kekkei genkai dead. Yamato is a good student, and gets very good grades compared to those in the same years as him. He has shown a talent for, how could it be anything else, taijutsu and nintaijutsu, focusing especially on the offensive. This goes well with his aggressive nature and he is known to be able to take down opponents in a matter of seconds, although his defense is less than average. Despite attempts to convince him, his resilience has proven that fruitless. Then again, the boy has always been a prodigy and nobody has been able to prove that the boy might need a defense as well. This has affected his personality in a more or less negative way, although that is open to interpretation. The boy is somewhat- no, very arrogant, and while he wouldn't boast about his skills, he is fully aware of his status as a prodigy. This has given him the idea that he is above everyone else, and he has remained to keep this idea as he's been unhindered by anyone who could prove him wrong. Watashi wa Kami - in his eyes, he is God. 【History】 Pre Hamajō Confederation Yamato's childhood years were essentially a calmth before the storm. He spent his first four years as most children his age did - calmly in the arms of his mother, and playing outside. Then at the age of four, his father decided that it was time for him to become ready. Determined to make the clan greater than it already was, he hired a teacher who was to teach Yamato the basics about being a shinobi. No, he didn't learn any techniques, but learnt the mental side of shinobi's, namely rules, history and things you needed to know. This affected his school career indirectly as he had more background knowledge than most when he entered base school. During his time at base school he still had interest in making friends and preferred to learn techniques, practice taijutsu or throwing and fighting with kunai and shuriken. He often sparred with others, showing of his tenacious and aggressive nature in these matches. He often ended up fighting kids that were bigger and older, beginning to make a name for himself. He became a genin at the age of 12 like most others and went on to attend the high school to become a chunin. In that aspect, while he was a prodigy, he was like everyone else. During high school years he maintained a very steady level of training, to maintain his position within the clan which had grown by now. He became, more or less, the pride of his clan and family, and went unrivaled within the clan. In highschool he maintained a same degree of authority, although there were those that had problems with it, he found that he barely had any problems maintaining his position as the people that objected were often not even close to his level of mastery. Although this makes him sound like a hard ass, all he wanted was for people to more or less leave him alone. The only people he could really get along with was his own family. And even that was strenuous at times. Later, he became semi friends with Aoi, who had shown Yamato to be more capable than she let onto. Never the less they weren't ever close to friends - more so, being colleagues that enjoyed working together with each other more than if they had to work with others, the exception to that being Akio, who was Aoi's preferred companion for a long time. As for the hatred of people with kekkei genkai, it stems from the preconceived notion that people with kekkei genkai seem to think themselves special, untouchable or even godlike, and when you pair that with historical events focusing around kekkei genkai and being mostly negative (Infinite Tsukuyomi, Hyuga clan being a prime target to other villages), it results in a hatred that is widespread among this clan, which has seen it's fair share of bad luck to do with kekkei genkai during the centuries. Besides that Yamato is of the opinion that he could beat a kekkei genkai easily through strength and a superior will to work for something. Arrival of Hamajō Confederation During the arrival of the Hamajō Confederation Yamato played a part in the taking of the city. While he was defending the city at first, he switched sides halfway through after realizing that the Hamajō Confederation wasn't all that bad - in fact, it was better than Ayame and Fujitora. It didn't help that Fujitora was responsible for the death of his father - and in turn, the near death of his family. The Hamajō Confederation would have a larger chance to make his family important again. He arrived on scene near the 11th corps headquarters, which was where Fujitora was holed up. Finding himself trailing mostly behind dead bodies, he soon find the source of this - Yakoul. The cat-like person had slaughtered most of the 11th corps, including Saburo and Daiki, two people that Yamato had hoped to kill for himself. Above all, it had killed Fujitora - which was a crime in the eyes of Yamato, blinded by honour. Knowing better than to take revenge by attacking Yakoul, he simply boded his time. He got promoted within the Hamajō Confederation and is now a captain, or otherwise known as Jonin, largely in service at the Amegakure capital. However, recently he's received orders to go to the border area to investigate a compound, and meet with commander Yakoul, who'll be making further use of his services. 【Family ties】 Yamatos family was rather normal, if you keep in mind that he grew up with a family that was not only his father and mother but also included close relatives of those people. Given that his father is the clan head, he has always felt like the entire clan was his family, and not just his father and mother. As such he always felt a great drive to do well, for the honor of the clan. Furthermore the birth of his younger sister when he was 2 added to his drive as he was under the pretense that he'd get to, or even have to, teach her. Reijo Minamoru \| Father \| 43 at time of passing, Konohagakure, used to be often away on bussiness, was a politician and economist, it's said he has a pair of mistresses in any city. Mika Minamoru \| Mother \| 47, Konohagakure, restaurant owner and mother, she is a hard worker who never complains. Atleast she likes to think that she doesn't. Rei Minamoru \| Sister \| 25, Konohagakure, medical shinobi. Popular girl, but unlike Yamato she finds practicing boring and she'd rather spend her time away from home with friends. 【Dreams and fears】 Yamato secretly dreams of a world where there are no kekkei genkai as this would, in his eyes, greatly reduce conflict. Furthermore he dreams of making the Minamoru clan even greater than his father did, to outdo him in something that his father was already very good at. As for fears, Yamato fears causing death and dishonor to the clan, which goes without saying. Besides that he also fears losing respect from the clan and, to a lesser degree, to other shinobi of the Hamajō Confederation. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Yamato's fighting style revolves entirely around the attack, offensiveness and taking down an opponent with hard hitting blows. Defense is almost nonexistant in his style, as he barely needs it. He is extremely resilient, as mentioned before, and as such he can take a lot of hits of any kind without showing signs of pain. Besides that, he is also someone who never, ever gives up. As such he will keep getting up even if he knows he cannot win - an admirable trait to some and a sign of stupidity to others. Another aspect of his style is courage, in the form of never being frightened. He is going to be the first to jump into battle and he's going to do so with an aggression bound to shake hearts and silence voices. 【Ninja techniques】 B rank techniques: Katon: Great Fire Destruction C rank techniques: Katon: Great Fireball Technique 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Minamoru-shi: Nokori Onaji (Minamoru Clan: Remain the Same, 残り同じ) Rank: S Range: N/A Description: This technique is, more or less, what constitutes Minamoru's hiden. It was created by Yamato due to his reckless nature and desire to enter the fray as the first one in - which was a negative thing before. Now, that turns into a good thing. The technique utilizes a very very small amount of chakra, which gathes in a 'pool' of chakra within the user. In general, there's never been a time where the chakra gets used up so quickly in usage of the technique that it completely empties out. This passive ability consumes chakra at a very slow rate constantly, even when not in combat. Luckily Yamato's chakra pool is large enough to sustain it. This ability works through getting hurt - as strange as it may sounds - converting damage done to the user and turning it into raw power. In effect, that means that 'more damage input = more damage output' in simple terms. Muscles are stimulated by the damage, as well as the psychological will to fight on. This allows Yamato to press on past his normal limits - which were already extraordinarily high - and keep fighting even with broken bones, torn muscles or large gaping wounds. The drawbacks to this are, ofcourse, that he's going to be less accurate and skillfull, but more powerful. In short attacks will be more powerful but he'll have a harder time hitting, ofcourse that depends largely on the type of wounds too. That's not to say that he heals them instantly - if he receives a mortal wound, he'll die pretty much if he doesn't receive treatment regardless of the jutsu. But receiving wounds does make him stronger, both in how he feels and how he actually is. It doesn't make him less mortal - but he sees him self as a God. Would he believe he's still mortal? Jutsu name: Minamoru-shi: Chakurabāsuto (Minamoru Clan: Chakra Burst, チャクラバースト) Rank: A Range: 5m-10m Description: Releasing one fourth of the chakra stored in his pool for the Nokori Onaji technique, he releases a pure burst of chakra out of his entire body, causing a shockwave of chakra. This shockwave can extend between 5m and 10m, dependant on how large his pool currently is. The shockwave is powerful enough to send shinobi that don't hold themselves down on the ground flying, sending lightweights (80<kg.) flying atleast 20 meters at high speed, and sending heavyweights (80>kg.) stumbling out of the shockwave area. Objects are sent flying away too, such as kunai, leaves and other random items in the area. The jutsu isn't incredibly damaging on it's own, dependant on objects in the area. For instance, in an empty dirt field, there'll be no objects to send flying, and no objects for the enemy to crash into. So, damage will be reduced to perhaps some light scraping from scraping on the ground. In a forest, or a densely built in city, the damage will be more extensive, given that the enemy might fly into trees, rocks, buildings, roadsigns, etcetera. Jutsu name: Katon: Great Fire Fists Rank: A Range: Close Description: The technique begins by creating a short series of seals ended by a Tiger seal - although since this is Yamato's signature move, he has perfected it to the point where he doesn't need to form the seals any longer. After this the user flicks his wrists and they are set ablaze. Not yet taking a shape the user must focus the chakra around this area for a short period, in the case of Yamato a second or two. After this is done the fire becomes hotter, akin to a bunsenburner in heat, and the fire will take the color blue as a result. The resulting heat is enough to roast skin even if it's not touching the fire, and enough to severely burn anyone that gets in direct contact with the flames, enough to cause third degree (yes, that hot) burns when you get directly hit by a punch of this technique. Anyone standing nearby Yamato will feel the heat emenating off of the boy, whether they are friend or foe, before he leaps into the battle. The fire takes the shape of a lions head, akin to the two guarding lions that stand outside most wealthy places or places of public interest. Jutsu name: Katon: Great Fire Extraction Rank: A Range: Close Description: Yaoku's Revenge sets the user ablaze for a short time, appearing to others as an explosion. In reality it works as a distraction, while the user cocks his hand back which is then lit ablaze. The single hand will be heated up so much, that it overpowers even the Fists of a Tiger technique, heating up to the extent where it will be able to melt both skin, muscle and bone. The intensity of the technique requires so much chakra that it is pretty much useable only thrice. After the required heat is reached, a matter of seconds for Yamato, the user lunges forwards through the explosion he caused himself and launched his fist into the enemy, melting skin first, then fat and muscle, and finally bone before the hand cools down. If used effectively, and the hit connects, it will be a tremendous attack able to incapacitate or kill most enemies. But it requires accuracy, something that is often lacking when an enemy is moving around, and also because the explosion caused by Yamato would obscure his vision. Besides that, the attack leaves him rather exhausted, so that he'd have to retreat from the fight, something that Yamato could obviously never do. As such it's likely for him to overexert himself after using this technique. Jutsu name: Katon: Great Fire Bind Rank: B Range: 10 meter in front of Yamato Description: To be used in conjuction with the Great Fire Extraction technique, but useable on it's own too. This technique is not neccesarily a fighting technique, the sole technique in Yamato's arsenal that isn't focussed 100% on the offense. However it is used as a runner up to a very offensive move. After forming a boar and tiger seal, the user holds the tiger seal while a set of 2 fiery hands emerge from his back, quickly coming out at a rapid speed. These hands will head for the enemy almost instinctively, and grab the enemy by the arm. Once grabbed it will be virtually impossible to get out lest you have a teammate that is able to free you or you work out a genius way to break free. Because the hands are made of flames you will receive slight burning although the burns will not be harmful whatsoever, akin to a D rank fire jutsu if not less harmful. The true fear you should have.. is the follow up jutsu. There is a slight reaction time between being grabbed and the start of the technique, around 1.5 seconds, but dodging will only end up causing the hands to chase you for a longer time. The only true escape is to get out of the 10 meter mark, but that will be hard with just 1.5 second to escape. It's possible for ninja's with above average jutsu, however. Another weakness, aside from it's length, is it's weakness to both water and earth defensive jutsu, such as the earthen walls or the water techniques that send out half an ocean. Using wind or fire against these hands is nearly useless, matter of fact it's counter productive because adding more fire to the arms will have no effect, while using wind based jutsu on them will fuel the flames, speeding them up even more. Electrical jutsu are useless, too, because electricity will go through the hands. An extraordinarily fast shinobi (read: faster than Yamato) will be able to dodge the hands initially and then attack quickly after if he times it right, because attacking Yamato and forcing him to release the tiger seal will stop the jutsu. However, if Yamato moves but still holds the seal, the jutsu will continue. The time it takes to form the hands and attempt to grab the opponent is all within 1 post, but the actual act of grabbing depends on it being dodged/ran away from, and as such can only happen in the 2nd post. Jutsu name: Fuuton: Greater Fire Fists Rank: C Range: N/A. Description: Technically not a technique on it's own, but still classified as one, the user will not have to form any seals, instead he simply has to augment fuuton chakra in his fists and release it into his fists of the Fire Fist jutsu. Due to Fuuton acting as 'fuel' (fuel for fire is oxygen, a source and burnable material) the fire will begin to burn even hotter, turning the fire blue and causing the area it's used in to appear 'darker' or closer to nightfall. This is due to the bright source of light making the environments appear darker than they really are simply because of the contrast or difference in lightsources. Even on a blue sky, clear lit day it will appear as if it were 00:00 midnight. The fists of the Fire-tiger will burn so hot, the radius at which the heat can be felt greatly expands and even those standing close to Yamato during the usage of this will feel uncomfortably warm, and if they stay near long enough, might begin getting a serious sunburn. The main effect also increases, still holding onto the 3rd degree burns upon connecting a hit, but adding in the additional fuuton element of a highly increased knockback and a cutting effect, too. You will go flying most definetely when you get hit by this augmented technique, sending lighter opponents up to 100m away and heavy, fat opponents at a weight of 200kg about 30 meters. Furthermore, there will be slight cuts, as if you got hit by 20 kunai at once. Ofcourse, that's all superficial wounds - nothing life threatening, but definetely painful. Like most nintaijutsu, this is extemely destructive, but exerting at the same time. There is no real weakness to this technique, as it's not really a technique to begin with but more so an augmentation or reinforcement of another. As such, weaknesses of the Fists of the Tiger still exist, such as suiton jutsu or defensive doton jutsu. Even so, the usage of this extra fuuton jutsu will allow the user to simply brute-force his way past many of these jutsu anyway, most notably doton. Suiton will always be a problem for fire users and this technique is no exception. Jutsu name: Katon: Great Fire Bomb Rank: B Range: 7.5m Description: This technique is a secret trump card held in high regard by the Minamoru clan. Not many outside of the clan know of it, because it's a rather rough technique on both the victim and the user. The users can begin this technique by forming the Tiger seal, after which it cannot be stopped anymore. The user envelops themself in flames, starting out akin to any other fire technique and indistinguishable at this time, looking rather harmless. However this all leads to an explosion. An explosion of the user itself into fiery death. In essence it's a fiery suicide technique that will blow up the user plus anything within 3.5m of the technique, and will damage anything up to 7.5m around the technique. The bad side? If you use this technique you die. Jutsu name: Minamoru-shi: Jisatsu-ryō (Minamoru Clan: Suicide Charge, 自殺料) Rank: B Range: 50m. Description: Utilizing his Futoon element, the user 'boosts' his speed quickly by displacing air in front of him towards his back, to travel quicker similar to how an airplane gains lift. However, this technique isn't fast enough to create lift and neither is Yamato shaped in order to create lift.. However, this will give him speed. Using this speed the use pummels himself into the enemy ranks, most likely a larger group of enemies. The head on charge manifests itself into simply crashing into the enemies with limbs extended, punching left and right to get as many hits in as possible. Defense is NOT a part of Yamato's vocabulary. This can be easily protected against by, say, creating an obstacle like a doton-sphere to protect yourself/you friends (if you're friendly like that.) 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Backpack. Weapon, tool or object type: It's.. a backpack. Possibly filled with explosive tags. Description: It's a fucking explosive backpack bomb. Bag-o-bombs. EASY.
51,125	1,381	32	985	319	Nori Hisakawa Red Sages Nori was immediately punished by every single aspect of that damned Byakugan. The strike he'd avoided? For some reason, it felt like he had been hit hard on his side, and upon some self-inspection, his chakra had weakened around the area. A solid strike probably would have ruptured his stomach. His naginata? He had expected the boy to dodge or deflect it. Instead if hearing the thunk of it hitting the ground either from a strike or from going past him, he heard nothing. The Hyuga bastard must have caught it. And he heard the oh-so-obnoxious sound of the boy shouting the worst syllable of all; “KAI!” Well, there had gone every single basic attempt. The ninjutsu was blocked properly, his weapon gone, and one of his special genjutsu failed. The Drowning Spear wasn't having a good time, especially with the growing pain in his side. It didn't help that he was becoming aware of a slim thinning of the mist...the silver-haired boy, with the liquid silver. He had launched it at him as balls before; could he have turned that silver into a means of pushing the mist away? So much for the mission going well. It's time for a tactical retreat. I need this wound inspected, to report this kekkei genkai to the Lady Commander, and to ensure the success of the actual mission, he told himself mentally. He prepared for another jutsu, before he heard the faint sound of ringing bells, steadily growing louder...and his enemy shouting the release command again. One of his favorite jutsu was an audio-based technique. He wasn't about to fall for this. "Kai!" He called out, before redoing his interrupted handsigns, and sprinting away from every single bad thing he could notice; the sounds of fighting, his disrupted mist, the genjutsu bells, the silver. He felt a little woozy as he began kneading his chakra. That blow to the gut had disrupted his flow somewhat, but it wasn't crippling. It just meant that he should expend it on his escape, and only leave the bare minimum to fend off a pursuit. "Water Release: Water Clone!" He made three, and they ran alongside him, a trio of guards should he be attacked. He made his way towards the edge of the mist, and made his way along there. Anyone on the outside shouldn't be able to see him, and he was far away from anyone on the inside, far enough away from detection by anyone but Higoho, and he had hopefully decided to go back to trying to kill off Mikoto. A shame, really. In retrospect, the idiot was pretty cute. It didn't matter now though; Red Sages had died on the battlefield today. He didn't intend to join them in recklessness, when there was a far safer alternative. And so Nori ran, towards the Red Sages' real objective, and the direction of Lady Commander Tametomo.	“Sacrifice yourself to do one good thing, or live on to do many? Think about it.” Standing at about 5'11" and weighing in at 150~lb, Nori is tall, lean shinobi, with an air of thoughtful relaxation about him. His bluish-black hair is trimmed slightly shorter than in the picture above, keeping the bangs out of his eyes, and the length in the back about halfway down the neck. His skin is rather pale, with sharp grey eyes, and slightly pointed teeth reminiscent of the Seven Ninja Swordsman of the Mist. Attire-wise; in battle, he forgoes a flak jacket, instead settling for a chain mesh under a loose, sleeveless blue shirt, black shin-length pants, standard issue black sandals, arm-guards, and his dark blue scarf tucked into the back of his shirt; a worn Kirigakure plate is attached to the end of this. Out of battle, his attire is much more modern; while he still sticks to wearing blue out of habit, he often dresses in semi-casual suit jackets, button-up shirts, slacks, and sneakers, varying to weather and situation as necessary. The only consistency is the dark-blue scarf, kept with him regardless of occasion. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Nori is an analytical type. Even in casual conversations, he will take long periods of time to listen thoroughly to what the other(s) have to say before replying, replying only when he has found something worthwhile to say in response. He's often relaxing to be around because of this trait; you'll almost never be interrupted or ignored, and especially those needing to blow off some steam will drift to him. The responses are where that line becomes less clear-cut. His honesty in his responses, and the depth he might go to analyze a statement, can lead to starting an argument that never needed to happen, or worsening an existing one. Not everyone likes hearing the truth. He doesn't seem to regret these situations, since the problem wasn't his fault in the first place. Some people think he's arrogant because of this aloofness, and they wouldn't be wrong. He'll become frustrated if people challenge his analysis, and even moreso if he happens to have made a mistake in his interpretation of the situation in the first place. Being such a good listener though, sometimes he has trouble starting conversations, or holding them. He doesn't really have the social drive to keep up small talk for very long, and he also dislikes having to talk about himself. It takes work for him to honestly feel like opening up to anyone, and he grows extremely uncomfortable talking about himself or his past. Which leads to a conflict of interests; if he can talk to you about your problems, why can't he talk to you about his own? 【History】 Nori is the only son of his parents, a non-shinobi father and a hunter-nin mother, in the unsteady Kirigakure village. With the years preceding the era of peace from the Hamajō Confederation, his mother was hardly ever home for the boy, constantly performing missions, be they for the village, or against its defectors. No questions asked has always been the terms of the Hidden Mist though, and so he simply smiled and nodded when his father constantly praised her mother as a hero, regardless of how dirty her job was. Even when she did return though, she never doted on him, unlike how he saw other mothers do with their children. She simply enjoyed the brief tranquility that would come between her missions as much as possible, and Nori accepted the exhaustion that came with his mother, the "hero." As he grew into his Academy years, he himself trained diligently in the Academy, to become a "great hero" like his scarcely seen mother, and succeeded; he was quiet, talented, and most importantly, obedient. What he also learned however, is how to be an outcast; children in times of war are never settled, and they found every reason to question why his father wasn't a shinobi, and tease that maybe his mother wouldn't come back this time. He simply let them speak and continued his training; his father did everything he could as a parent, and his mother was a hero. He didn't have the nerve to question them early on, and didn't care once he understood later. Even after learning of just what the job of hunter-nin entailed, well, it was just another grisly duty, and he would be more than willing to follow his mother's footsteps in that role. And then, during his graduating year at the Academy, the war hit a terrifying peak for Kirigakure--the destruction of the village. People scattered. Most died. Nori and his family were of the lucky ones; they managed to get out before the devastation, finding themselves heading north across the water to the Land of Lightning, and the new Kumo Province. For a long time, neither of them knew where his mother was. His father took up the task of farming, struggling to get by in the lackluster area. Nori didn't know what to do. He had been following in his mother's footsteps, but how could he join a military that let their home be destroyed and separated him from his "hero?" His decision would be solidified several years later, after the Hamajō Confederation had settled in. After the destruction of Kirigakure, his mother had been lost. She didn't know what had happened to her family. She thought them likely dead, herself being another lucky one, sent over to the Land of Fire on her most recent task. The loss of home, the loss of family...she ended up with some of the scattered armies, and eventually decided that she would fight against the power that couldn't protect her anymore; she joined the would-be Red Sages, and eventually got herself killed for it. Family connections were made. The Confederation came to his father's farm, looking for intel on the Red Sages. Neither of them knew anything about what had happened after Kirigakure, and after some extremely stern interrogation, decided that refugees fled to Kumo wouldn't know what happened to a traitor last seen near Konoha. "Traitor." That was the term that had solidified his decision. There had to be a reason; she had been a hunter-nin. Her duty: to track down rogue shinobi, the traitors. She had to know the consequences of becoming the hunted, so the reason for her supposed defection had to have some meaning behind it. He thought it over, and decided to continue her fight. His father never questioned it; he was a grown man now, and his decision was his own. He would join the Red Sages, and fight the real traitors. 【Family ties】 Nori grew up in a single-father middle-class household, with his mother visiting only once every several months during her time of service after she got herself off of maternity leave. He has no siblings. After the destruction of Kirigakure, he lived in near-poverty with his single father, and never saw his mother again. Naozumi Hisakawa \| Father \| 50, Kumogakure, farmer. Suffers depression from the loss of his wife. Under surveillance following disappearance of chunin son. Former spouse classified as traitor. Koyori Hisakawa \| Mother \| 44, Deceased. Hunter-nin. Classified as traitor for assisting criminals against the Hamajō Confederation. 【Dreams and fears】 Nori's dreams are to discover why his mother decided to join the Red Sages before him, and avenge her personal legacy. His fears are for his father being punished for having two criminals in the family, despite his innocence. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Nori focuses around genjutsu-based combat, looking to manipulate his opponents into a corner with various Water-style ninjutsu and weaponry--most notably being a naginata--before locking them down with genjutsu and going in to finish the job. 【N/A】 Bloodline limit name: N/A Description: User possesses no known kekkei genkai. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: B rank techniques: Water Release: Water Formation Wall C rank techniques: Water Prison Technique Water Clone Technique Water Release: Water Bullet Technique Water Release: Water Bowl D-E rank techniques: Body Replacement Technique Unsealing Technique Hiding in Mist Technique 【Custom made techniques】 Aquatic Bone Suffering Rank: B Range: Dependent Description: This jutsu causes all water created from a previous Water Release ninjutsu to have an extreme numbing effect to any skin in contact with it, extremely hindering the sense of touch, and in turn, making it more difficult to control the dampened areas. While the effect is immediate and intense though, it's reliant on how wet the opponent is; if they've been successfully dodging techniques, or happen to be in heavy armor, they likely won't be affected significantly. Likewise, managing to sufficiently dry themselves will remove the effect, and as with all genjutsu, if they are aware it's the illusion of loss of sensation, then they can mentally force themselves to overcome it if possible. The strength of the technique is its subtlety and range, the weakness being its ease of avoidance. Jutsu name: Water Release: Seashell Current Discord Rank: B Range: Mid to long-range Description: An audio genjutsu, in which the user releases a quick jet of water from their mouth onto anything nearby. Those hearing any noise the jet of water creates, such as its impact, will begin hearing only the noise they heard the genjutsu create, be it a splash on another body of water, against a tree, etc., essentially cutting off their ability to hear. In combination with the Hiding in Mist Technique, it can be crippling to have one of your other means of locating your opponent crippled. The strength of the genjutsu lies in it's simplicity of execution and subtlety. The weaknesses lie in the lack of physical hindrance; the opponent is not incapacitated in any other way, and it can be avoided by not hearing the initial noise, and the technique can be overcome with sufficient time/chakra control. Jutsu name: Kingdom of the Eastern Seas Rank: A Range: Short Description: The user clasps their hand at an opponent's throat or forehead while casting the genjutsu, after which, the victim will be under the illusion of being dragged to the bottom of the ocean floor; painful, crushing water pressure, asphyxiation, no light, and no sound. These effects persist until the caster of the genjutsu releases their hand from the opponent, or loses the ability to channel the chakra. The weakness of the technique lies in its extremely close range, especially so with the need to grasp something as usually well-protected as a head or neck. The strength lies in the fast effects and sheer intensity of the genjutsu, crippling all senses at once, incapacitating most in short order. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Customized Naginata Description: A 5 foot long bright grey naginata, with the bottom half able to collapse into the top to make it a more efficient weapon at extremely close range, as well as the tsuba consisting of a hardened rubber disk, to insulate electricity coming through the blade, knowing that his exclusive use of water techniques makes him quite vulnerable to an electric discharge. The coloration is exclusively for blending in with the Hiding in Mist Technique, to make the weapon harder to see. Okay, just threw it in over the post I had to "delete" before.
51,126	1,381	33	2,089	1,979	Arima Shuu - Tametomo The Red Sages Ame - Suna - Konoha Border, Harvest Festival A fire ball?! Holy crap these Confeds are insane! Flabbergasted by the initiative taken by the redhead female, Arima felt his forehead get warm and damp from the tensions rising. He didn't know what to think of this, it did destroy his clone as proof that he received its chakra upon deletion, but they were otherwise Shuriken. Is surprised him even more that they seemed to have been destroyed by simple fire, but then again it was a peculiar universe. A fireball was heading toward him in response, and he could only deduce that the other guy blocked the shuriken too, unless he was really that bad. There weren't many alternatives, but at least Neki could keep things going his way for now. Right? As the poor Newt got its ass handed to it, Arima did what he did best, charge up his magic boots and swiftly gain momentum to jump over the searing sphere of flames, some of his coat gaining a darker tint due to how close he got. Nonetheless, he easily calculated his move here, and upon having line of sight once over the ball, he'd shift his body to land as quickly as he got over the ball, now merely a few meters away from the female (approximately 10 meters?). However, the eerie screams of Neki caught the male's attention, causing him to turn his head real quick to check on it. Its feet were burning and it was being assaulted by some cloaked thing. This didn't look good, and Arima would be choking in stress from the fact that he'd be alone against at least two guys. Scratch that, another one just started to talk smack behind him. This was a really shitty situation to say the least. "Dammit." He had a politician, but he was likely not going to live to see the glory of accomplishing such a feat. The one from behind quite evidently hurled something, it looked hot and was coming Arima's way, forcing him to look back and turn his head on his first enemy. Lava? Really? This was getting somewhat crazy. He would undoubtedly being attacked from another angle too, making one option truly viable in this situation. Five han seals were swiftly made until his body was completely coated in lava, only to reveal he had quickly switched places with a chair in a nearby house he hunkered down in to avoid being caught. This wasn't good, not only did they have the advantage in numbers but they were also one upping each other with more and more lethal attacks as they went. Swiftly making his way to the roof, he'd kneel down to avoid immediate detection, overwatching the area and hopefully finding an exploitable weak spot in the overwhelming defense the Confederates wielded. Truthfully, he wanted out and call it a day. He was counting on Seijo to finish quickly before he succumb to this endless wave of powerful shinobi. He unknowingly panted the whole time, having been inches from sweet release more than once, and if he hadn't cowered away to recompose himself, he'd would have made it a little too easy for these governmental bafoons to get him. Yakoul Kakariko The Confederation's General of Armed Forces The now Fucked Over Festival Yaaaaawwwwwwwnnnnnn The General of armed forces was indeed intrigued by the whole bunch of explosions and killing, especially from the better trained lads. But, its small attention span made it somewhat difficult for it to care about things too much. Getting a decent overlook for many of the combatants, it already made itself a few ideas as to what they were made of. Maybe it didn't have a very focused brain, but in terms of memory it was as efficient as a mule. Some were good, some were okay, any potentials for its new armed forces to exterminate these Red Sages once more and live the glory of war again. Yakoul was a bit turned off when there was more ganging up than actual kill and be killed. It almost made the creature feel a bit sad knowing that the Confederation had a big chance of completely stomping the Red Sages before they'd make anything of consequence. Well, at least they captured some top list politician, maybe they'll decapitate him on cam and cause uproars all over the land. One could only hope, sadly. But then Yakoul's ears perked up at the feeling of humidity coming from much closer than the previous mist. This time mist formed at the Compound, except it wasn't from that Red Sage runt that didn't seem to have moved too far away from the fighting grounds. "What do we have here? A bunch of shitheads going full retard on the chiefs? Fuck, I gotta see this anyway." With that, the cat-human-thing swiftly got of its behind and took the time to stretch its back before hoping down in the middle of the melee, swords and shuriken flinging from every side, some even trying to kill the General, all failing miserably of course. Yakoul was equipping its ring claws on each finger, slowly, as it ascended the stairs of the compound and seemed to have entered deep within the hidden mist ability used by some third party assailant. Using its Perfect Symbiosis, Yakoul could easily distinguish who was where and depending on their position and chakra pools, could easily determine their roles here. Seijo was easy to determine, especially when she started to brawl with one of the Jonin Yakoul was acquainted to for quite a while now. The massive sack of chakra that seemed to have caused all the big ruckus going on here was also easily found given he was holding a gargantuan tool Yakoul couldn't quite despite everything. Otherwise, it'd notice one female completely knocked out on one side and two more apparently helping each other. Actually, from what Yakoul's powerful ears could hear, it seemed like one of them was the third party that made the mist and the other wanted to shoot down the Rebel leader. It made Yakoul frown, but the deed was already done when it arrived. Somewhat impressed for confronting the leader despite their evidently inferior prowess and their need to resort to stealth. Then again, Yakoul never gave a crap about playing fair. Placing a hand on both Mirai's and Kanata's shoulders (robot one for Mirai), the General would give a very tight grip, the golden claws digging into their skin deep enough to leave a mark but not enough to make blood. It set its head between the two so it could at least be seen by them, given its presence was particularly well hidden. With a gleeful grin, it spoke with its croaky voice. "Well aren't you two just something. Fuck me, I'd pussy out if I were you. Or maybe not. Who cares? But hot damn, imagine you killing queen bitch, with just a shuriken. You'd be more famous than that actress cunt I forget the name of ehhhh." Its lack of attention took hold again as it actively tried to think of the actress' name, but after a short moment it would pout and stare directly at the supposed direction the fight with Seijo was happening, even if it was sealed up even more. "Hey girly small boobs. Mind lowering that mist, it's making my retarded shirt even dumber and wet. No need to be afraid now, 'cause I'm here to save the motherfucking day! Oh speaking of motherfuckers, mind if I ask you ladies for some hot ass tips for a speech? I need to fear monger a bit here, wake up some idiots there. 'Cause you know, we gotta get rid of these assholes. Right?" It addressed Kanata but also Mirai to an extent when referring to helping it with some speech it was preparing. At this point, it would let go of them, releasing them from the uneasy tension and suffocating chakra it imposed on them. Yakoul wasn't going to harm them, no matter their level of loyalty. It simply needed to get into the decisive scene and distract itself.	Spode's Magical Character Emporium of Wonders V.2! DLC pack Coming soon. Buy Season Pass Now! “I'm gon' fuck me some motherfuckers.” 1m75 - 72 KG At first glance, it is almost impossible to not have any preconception regarding Yakoul's normal appearance, an issue that costed the lives of many. Yakoul looks like the typical cat-human people see in various media and have bizarre fantasies about, though the reasons behind its current for are a lot less fantastic. Everyone notices the white cat ears and the long tail, which various in size for no apparent reason, and would usually dumb it down as 'too cute to be threatening'. That's until they see its teeth. Otherwise it can also alternate its cat pupils, usually forming them when in combat. They're orange regardless of the form. Now that the kitty aspects are out, the next issue is ... Well the rest. Its silhouette is completely androgynous. Somewhat curvy bottom part but facial traits that look more like a young male teen's than a female's. Its chest appears to look more like pectoral muscles than breasts. The hair style doesn't help either, being short and curly/messy. Its gender will always remain a dark enigma those in the Confederation hope to crack some day. Or not. Freaks. In terms of attire, it wields a navy blue, long sleeved shirt with golden buttons in the center. An orange pair of shorts to keep its legs warm along with long, same colored socks that nearly reach the knees. It does not wear sandals, ever, but a pair of navy blue shoes it can easily slide on its feet without having to deal with laces or velcro. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Yakoul earned the title of War hero and trump card of the Confederation's army 11 years ago because of its genius regarding the Art of War and overall capabilities in the field. A lot of it is true, as Yakoul has never backed down from a fight (doesn't mean it never lost), winning against any type of individual conceivable, whether they are intelligent, dumb, strong or frail, it always found a way. This much praise made it a main figure to the Confederation's political and social life, despite all of it being based on prestige told by the Confederation itself. Many know of how ruthless Yakoul is, breaking the 'cute cat' image it once had, but the details remain rather vague and exclusive to inner circles. In truth, although it wields the willpower and charm of an extremely successful warlord, it is undeniably an unpredictable force of malice no one other than the top ruler of the Confederation has managed to tame. It holds the nickname of monster for a reason for anyone who has actively been an obstacle to the feline has lived the merciless and downright cruel fury of the beast. Only through tactical advantage does it show mercy, otherwise it has no qualms in exposing its perverted and sick mind to those it simply wants to rob something from. Ironically, apart from war, it is an individual completely absent of common sense. Mundane activities are engaged in the most eccentric and downright surreal fashion with this critter. Despite emitting one of the most foul presences in the entire world, it has a surprising way of illuminating rooms for people it shares a sense of camaraderie with to avoid getting bored. Indeed, it has a terribly thin attention span. Speaking of comrades actually, as monstrous as it may be, it built itself a rationale that gives actual human value to its close colleagues, only to use their deaths as a catalyst to fill itself with anger and many other emotions to slaughter superior enemies. Does it feel something when someone close dies? Sure, and it knows it, hence why it uses it. Keeping up with unpredictability, its behavior has been deemed so sporadic, it is impossible to truly form a friendship with it. Now the reason being that as much as it enjoys messing around when in free time or just during transition phases in a conflict, one thing will get it to laugh while another almost completely identical will earn the instigator an impromptu vasectomy. Needless to say, many have come and left Yakoul's squad not because of the intense battlefield, but by the insane moodswings. Did I mention its intuition? If it has a bad feeling about you, prepare to have a bad time. Needless to say, ti remains a really good judge of character, as would be any leader. This deserves the final paragraph and serves as a warning to everyone. Profanity is its mother tongue and has a very horrible accent when speaking. In most sentences, it will enter a pointless swear, and this increases depending on how passionate it gets. Add to that a shamelessly crude attitude and we have the most foul individual in the Confederation as one would expect. It doesn't always insert swear words, but they seem to illustrate quite well what its intentions are most of the time. 【History】 Yakoul has lived far longer than most people on this earth, all thanks to the inherited powers of its supposed 'cursed' clan. It didn't feel all that bad to it, quite the contrary, it got eternal life all to itself. The feline essentially saw history happen before it, not that it did much to actually archive it or even remember, it was just there, existing and eating whatever it attacked in a village, whether it be livestock, pet or people. Like many of its clan, it terrified the populace because of its jumps of rage and general disregard for their lives. Yeah no, Yakoul isn't this dual-personality type. It always lived as if its surges of violence were just it being in a bad mood rather than lack of control. Decades went on and it would only be when encountering a group a very strange looking individuals, nothing like those annoying shinobi that were sometimes a little too hard to kill. They were strong, but also quite tasty looking, and Yakoul liked that a lot. Wanting a piece of these people, its blood would quickly be rust to the blades of the leader's right hand. The animal didn't beg for mercy, but rather stared at the dominant being of the group, fantasizing on how it would have been great to have that body all to itself in its cavern. It was not because of its potential that it was spared, however, but because of its amusing appearance. The monster that would eventually be one of the pivotal figures in the war was recruited for looking somewhat like a cat. Well, "recruited", it served as decor for the leader's luxurious tastes. It wouldn't be until the first days of war that Yakoul would prove its worth as more than just a soldier. At first, it was simply sent on small missions due to its enhanced senses and general aggressiveness toward foes. It didn't mind, it had free food and could rip anything to shreds when asked. Doing dirty work was just a small repayment. Its talents as a war leader flourished when confronted to its first ambush. Somewhat devoid of extreme intelligence, it mixed what it learned through living so long and instinct to divide strategies to minimize losses. Though this time it was actual comrades and not food something it would protect in some cave or stolen house. Few casualties and a need to make a profanity filled speech to pump its men, Yakoul was given the title of General. Why? Because the leader could, not that it really earned it or anything. It just made its superior happy and proved its worth. Many events during the war were under its leadership, and generally it kept the upper hand and quickly understood the art of war. One could say it was more or less its destiny to hold such a position as it lived in relatively poor countries where small conflicts were rampant and only through strategy was survival possible. What would mark Yakoul as a war hero would be how it led its men to the doors of Konoha and in three days time, murdered with its bare hands the leader of the 11th Corp, the equivalent of Root at the time. Fujitora Choko was killed, and Ayame Choko, the Hokage, would have the same visit by Yakoul. Many speculate that Ayame was never there to begin with, but soldiers attest that Yakoul had killed her as well. Of course, victors are the ones who write history, so even knows if this whole damn history section is legit and not me making a BS Shyamalan on you? Thought so. After the war, Yakoul's been ... Quiet. Simply because the Red Sages have been too sporadic for it to actually care enough. It is mostly seen in public events with its master or simply to keep itself entertained. 【Family ties】 It doesn't have any known relatives. Unless you count every stray cat in the world. The Great President \| Master and Pet \| N/A - Amegakure Capital 【Dreams and fears】 Yakoul dreams to simply do whatever it wants the next day. As of now, it fights for its master in a more zealous manner than anything. But if its superior were to die, it could very well change its passion on a whim. As of now, it simply wanted to endlessly fight the rebels, over and over, and hopefully even die a horrible death at their hands. Not that it actively tries to die, it's simply a fantasy. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Swift and deadly. Yakoul's fight have often been rather quick, or at least when it decides to go on the offensive anyway. Most of the time it falls on taunts and easily evades and/or blocks strikes it can see coming beforehand. Easily finding the flaws in the techniques employed by the opposition, when confident enough it can end it, Yakoul will strike where it hurts the most. This of course depends on the caliber of the opponent, as those who prove to be a lot more keen on their moves will force the beast to actually prod something out of them with actual violence. When in its lethal mindset, it greatly utilizes its strong tail as a third member to gain an easy advantage on the enemy, as well as keep many of its abilities a 'surprise' for the enemy to discover. Because of this, it prioritizes close quarters combat 3/4 times, especially considering its Jutsu pool. The issue with it fighting longer and longer, however, is that it slowly loses patience and lets its more berserk state take hold, pushing Yakoul to lose a decent thought process out of anger and sheer brutality. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Juugo's Clan Kekkei Genkai Description: Many consider this Kekkei Genkai as the cheap counterpart of the Sage mode. Yakoul would of course strongly disagree. To start off with the basics, this KG enables the wielder to passively absorb Senjutsu Chakra (Natural Energy) all the time, leaving it with some pretty gargantuan chakra pools. The effects can often be dumbed down to bursts of anger and berserk states, but Yakoul has since grown accustomed to it. However, bien exposed to it for so long, it has developed animal-like traits similar to beings untrained in Sage Art that have absorbed too much Senjutsu chakra. In this case, it acquired feline traits. It is also the cause of Yakoul's massive longevity and seemingly eternal youth. Because it is mostly under control, Yakoul can freely manipulate its own body and expose select parts to 'curse' with his Sage Transformation. Essentially, it can manipulate the form of its body, sprout wings or grow axe blades on its forearms. The possibilities are massive, as long as they aren't too exaggerated. Chakra cannons are also a dominant trait in the Sage Transformation. Generally users of this KG can tank massive blows that prowl through their flesh and pierce their members without an issue as seen when Juugo not only had a massive hole in his arm but also his chest and recovered without an issue. However the more this ability is used, the less coherent the thought process Yakoul's approaches will be. As much as it is used to it, it will eventually lose grip and wildly attack anything if battles push it too far. Withering down Yakoul's endurance makes it the best tactic to make it a lot more dangerous and violent, but also more predictable and easily deceived. Strengths: The KG offers overwhelmingly high amounts of chakra as well as access to natural energy. Naturally users have immense strength, which only increases when enhancing certain parts of their bodies (easily rivals CES). Resilience and a particularly versatile movepool are probably the biggest strengths in there. The added bulk of the sage transformation can be compensated with the chakra jets. Weaknesses: Surprisingly has few, but the lack of control through continuous use is rather exploitable. When transformed, whether it is berserk or not, the moves appear to be more predictable and easy to anticipate, in exchange for simply more destructive power. 【Ninja techniques】 S rank techniques: 1 Compulsory Subjugation A rank techniques: 3 My Favorite Cancer Perfect Symbiosis Enhanced Scales B rank techniques: 4 Super Mega Ultra Go to Hell Cannons Fire Cannon Dash Genjutsu: Cat and Mouse Suffocating Haze C rank techniques: 5 Up yours: Style One Swiisssshhhhh Shotgun Special Lil' Sluggers Regeneration Absorption D-E rank techniques: 3 Hiding in Surface Technique Overwhelming Killing Intent Yakoul's Juinjutsu 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: I'm just fucking better than you! (Also known as Compulsory Subjugation) Rank: S Range: 0 - 50m Description: As Yakoul's Trump card, Compulsory Subjugation is a tool it prefers to use in very specific scenarios and often saves it as a 'Grand Finale' for people like Souji Tametomo. It manifests itself in three tentacle-like appendages emerging from Yakoul's spine with only the tips being of a completely black color, the rest remaining beige/gray like the typical KG transformation. They all hold tremendous strength with the capability of slapping away boulders with one alone and they can strength up to 50 meters. Though as strong as they may be, they remain easy to cut like flesh and inflict gargantuan pain to Yakoul when cut, and even more when being reattached or regenerating, thus forcing its stamina to plummet. But its greatest strength doesn't lie there. The tips are where the ability shines. They are ridiculously sharp, but can still be blocked by robust defenses. Of course once they manage to actually inflict damage, here the fun begins. If one were to be simply scratched by the tentacle, they could have a small piece of Yakoul's flesh in them, not big enough to be game breaking, but enough to bond with their flesh and bone of the area. A large amount of pain occurs as the incompatible flesh acts like a cancer and forces the muscles to tense and twist on each other. If done on an arm or leg, the bones would easily snap and rend the member worthless but it would end there (except for the pain), while if on the body, the organs run the risk of being completely ripped to shreds. The solution is simple, stab the area that was cut, the bleeding will cause a lot of the Sage Transformation flesh to ooze out. The blood loss won't be enough to kill but will render largely ineffective. That's if they can close the wound. If the tentacle is stabbed, however. Everything changes. Large amounts of Yakoul's own flesh is injected in the body, ripping apart muscles and bones as they go, essentially making it a game over unless a third party severs the appendage before it can completely possess the body. Immediate medical treatment can held control this, though the victim is decommissioned. If Yakoul possesses the individual entirely and destroys them from the inside out, they will evidently die. But only to revive as a mindless beast under Yakoul's command, like a pet. They would be possessed by the Sage Transformation entirely, looking exactly like the second stage transformation. They can use the same abilities they once had, barring tactics. The only escape would be death, unless some miracle doctor finds a cure. cough Jutsu name: My Favorite Cancer Rank: A Range: N/A Description: Similar to the Fission Technique, the function is similar, however it is interconnected with the Sage Kekkei Genkai. Essentially Yakoul splits itself physically to produce two teen-like Yakoul. I can go up two four with small kid versions. They are generally physically weaker as they go along and divide, as well as simply having weaker abilities (And the S rank Technique sealed). However they are capable of gathering natural energy individually and slowly grow. When divided by two, about 5 posts are needed for both Yakoul to be fully grown, 8 (4 to be teen sized) for the smaller one. When destroyed, they turn into puddles of flesh that glues itself back into a fission clone, giving back the chakra. When split they can't have more chakra than the average individual unlike a full Yakoul who can have an overwhelmingly high surplus. After 5 posts where they're fully grown, they're forced back into one Yakoul as the technique expires. Jutsu name: Perfect Symbiosis, Bitch. Rank: A Range: 150 KM Description: One could call this an extremely advanced version of sensory, but it really is a mastery of Senjutsu chakra to the extent where someone incapable of being a Sage could master it. Yakoul becomes 'One' spiritually with nature, which is everywhere, making it almost completely undetectable by sensors. Its chakra can be seen by Sharingan, Rinnegan and Byakugan, but locating Yakoul is extremely difficult in long distances. The only exceptions are either Sages or those with this ability (or equivalent). But this also gives a tremendous advantage in sensory skills for Yakoul. When actively using this ability, its pupils dilate like a cat's as it uses natural energy as a powerful sensory ability for both extremely long ranges and close range. When going long range, it is mostly good for finding very specific chakra signatures and presences in remote areas as well a detecting who is in what area and how many beings there are there. When in close range, it can essentially take over for sight and sound as it gives a very precise input on what approches, what form it has and how fast it is moving. Its enhanced sense of smell and hearing usually compliment the job perfectly. Jutsu name: Awesome as shit Scales Rank: A Range: Personal Description: Developed after killing Fujitora Choko, Yakoul decided to innovate a bit defensively, and thus also evolve offensively, by taking elements from the Heavenly Blood. Here, it must use Sage Transformation before this becomes possible. Yakoul is capable of having 'scales' rapidly grow on affected parts of its body by concentrating both senjutsu chakra and stamina to make them steel-hard. Indeed, it affects both the physical and chakra state of the user, making it something that can't be entirely recovered by passive natural energy absorbing. These can easily block non-enhanced weapons and take multiple hits from those. It takes stronger Ninjutsu to break through. The seconde usage it has requires a lot less stamina, almost none, but it loses all of its value. Using a bit of wind chakra on its pores, Yakoul can simply fire these scales in large waves like large, diamond-shaped kunai in a direction it chooses without actually moving. Being made of chakra they have higher piercing capability, but they are somewhat slower and more predictable than the ninja tools. Their strength mostly lie on the being ejected from anywhere at anytime. Jutsu name: Fire Cannon Dash Rank: B Range: 30m - 100m Description: A simple technique that utilises both Fire release and the Juugo clan's cannons. In this technique they're generally on the back and the elbows and take en entire post to charge with heat. Yakoul can still do whatever during that post except for cannon usage, but the increase in energy is very apparent. In the next post it can choose to either keep the cannons red hot for up to three turns before releasing the technique, and during that wait it can use cannon abilities but with a 50% penalty in power. When it it used however, Yakoul can travel between 30m to 100m in speeds that rival even body flicker, all the while being in control of its body. However it can only travel in a straight line, making somewhat predictable the first go, but extremely lethal if not ready. Jutsu name: Genjutsu: Cat and Mouse Rank: B Range: Sight and Sound Description: Yakoul's only real Genjutsu other than the basic stuff, which uses both visual and sound queues to make it exceptionally difficult to pinpoint. Here it will sway its tail from left to right while applying it, those who simply look at Yakoul will see the tail move regardless if they focus on it. The Yin chakra already has its effect and simply needs an activation. The sound required is a simply crack of its jaw, something it does all too often in a fight, whether it applies it or not. Breaking free is the typical methods, but it doesn't make one immune to it. The effects are simple, once affected, the perception of the victim is severely flawed. They will feel as though they are seeing through the eyes of a mouse, or any small critter really and the whole environment, including Yakoul is giant. As such, all they would see would be a giant Yakoul attacking them, its massive movements easily covering their whole line of sight and making it horribly tedious to predict anything. Jutsu name: Suffocating Haze Rank: B Range: Description: Fusing Wind and Fire chakra, steam-like incense that covers a large amount of ground with Yakoul being the center of it all. When using this ability Yakoul cannot utilise its other cannon abilities. The effects are simple, it imposes a powerful heatwave in the whole field and a bit beyond really quickly with a slight haze to make visibility harder for others. Plants, even trees, die in the first seconds of the technique drying up almost anything, the insects follow shortly after and animals feel extremely dehydrated. Bigger summons also feel the huge toll as their big bodies are confiscated of a large amount of water, making them just as susceptible. Trained shinobi can withstand it easily, other lifeforms not so much. Water techniques suffer the most from it, bring mostly dried up and losing most of their strength. Lightning, because of wind chakra infused, become a little weaker but mostly inaccurate in both targeting and usage (chakra control is simply harder). Wind Techniques suffer a similar effect to Lightning, being eaten up by the fire aspect. Earth suffers more slowly, drying up and losing solidity eventually. Only Fire techniques are enhanced here to Yakoul's advantage. Lasts for five posts, cool down for five as well. Jutsu name: Shotgun Special Rank: C Range: Close, extends to about 10m Description: A wind based ability that is mostly non-lethal (unless you suck) which consists in releasing strong air pressure from the cannons protuding from Yakoul's body. The released pressure acts like a shotgun shell, extremely strong push back when in point black, but loses it strength as it goes along. The effect of distance really depends on the individual strength of each, but it's generally meant to keep people away in a pinch. Also useful to eject oneself really quickly into the air or to a direction. Jutsu name: Lil' Sluggers Rank: C Range: N/A Description: Yakoul uses a much weaker version of the Fission technique, letting a bit of its flesh drop on the ground and ignite thanks to fire chakra. It quickly hoards natural energy to grow into a child-sized humanoid golem, similar to Deidara's puppets, as they start charging in at whatever Yakoul wants gone. They can morph their limbs and bodies to an extent, forming blades and bizarre/flexible shapes. They're slow and somewhat predictable, but damaging them will result in more of them coming back. It is being completely destroying them into sufficiently small pierces that the flames covering them overpowers their regeneration and they just die. They're more of a very annoying distraction than anything. Jutsu name: Delicious Grub Rank: C Range: Close Description: This deserves some explaining. In a large battlefield full of NPC's, this technique essentially allows Yakoul to recover from non-fatal injuries easily as it barely requires any chakra and simply uses to heal its damaged body. So some specifications are needed. In order to fully absorb a body and heal major wounds it needs to be immobile for two posts, as in it can't move from that point, but can still use jutsu and so on to defend itself. Jutsu name: Overwhelming Killing Intent Rank: D Range: Up to 5 KM Description: Yakoul's aura is so foul and its chakra levels massive enough to have nearby individuals actually feel the pressure of its bloodlust on their shoulders. Only the strongest shinobi around will not fear a tint of fear as their natural instincts would force them to have when confronted to such a deadly predator. It is capable of using it from pretty big distances when it is stalking certain individuals to put them on their guard all the while destabilizing them. Jutsu name: Yakoul's Seal of Approval Rank: N/A Range: Personal Description: Almost exactly like Orochimaru's Curse Seal since it did come from the Kekkei Genkai after all. The Confederation saw great potential in this and made it possible for Yakoul to impose Juinjutsu on certain victims and disobedient followers. It doesn't spread it like free candy however, as it is also a source of power that could easily push unworthy individuals into berserk-like states and be an issue to society. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Tease Weapon, tool or object type: Claw Rings Description: A set of Claw Rings worn in every finger except the thumbs. Why? Because they're freaking cool. Also they're specially designed to have wind chakra channel out of the pointed blade form 30 cm air claws. They're hard to see at first glance and cut like any chakra enhanced blade (because its chakra yah). Weapon, tool or object name: Ninjato Weapon, tool or object type: Just a Ninjato Description: Just a Ninjato is carrier around for no reason. Weapon, tool or object name: Awesome clothes Weapon, tool or object type: Clothes Description: It always wears the same clothes, and they can survive being burnt and its super transformations. They don't protect from damage, they just prevent you from seeing Yakoul naked. “By the honor of the Tametomo, I will fight to the death for all our freedoms.” 1m83 - 88 kg A rather tall lad with a well built body, Arima does have the looks on his side. Not the most attractive but that isn't his only asset. With black, almond shaped eyes and straight black hair, some would expect him to be some Uchiha rather than related to the Red Sages leaders. Not so broad shoulders but evidently trained arms and dexterous hands. In terms of attire, he takes whatever he needs to blend in, but often sticks to the Confederation uniform to keep as inconspicuous as possible as a shinobi. He's always seen wearing black combat gloves alone with these odd navy blue boots he wears instead of the common sandals. He's also fond of cloaks when executing covert operations despite having a mask at his disposal, he just likes it. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Arima Shuu - Tametomo 【Alias】 The Rising Sage The Great Red Sage's Cousin The Pussy 【Affiliation】 The Red Sages 【Age】 17 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Straight 【Birthplace】 Amegakure 【Bloodline】 Tametomo's Shuu branch 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 A pretty boy with a status that easily earns him social recognition. Arima doesn't mind utilizing the Tametomo name when in rebel grounds to pride himself over his lineage, something that does get him some female attention. Quite the hotshot and showoff with his rather advanced techniques he dedicates to his own clan, one could say he's the type of popular kid that everybody knows whether they like it or not. In the midst of his demonstrations and indulging himself in praises, he simply loves to maintain a cold and distant attitude, to play the 'mysterious' guy while saying encouraging phrases regarding honor and all that jazz. What most don't see however is that he is far under the expectations of the usual Tametomo, he's a pushover. Souji was quite the thing at his age and that's not even mentioning Tarara, both his cousins. He's very aware of this, as are some of his closer colleagues. He's aware that he neither has their skill nor inherited traits to make him as grandiose as they are. But instead of accepting himself, he remains deluded when facing the crowd of peers that stand in awe when he does anything really. At least this works with the newbies. While insecure, he's also somewhat of a coward, having barely ever been in the battlefield and lied more than once about his experiences. The scar on his lip is the one his family laughs about the most. As much as he may seem confident when playing a facade, he is devoid of any authority and presence. This is particularly true when he's into a girl that doesn't send back the feelings. He's hopeless and stammering. And the more he feels emotionally cornered like this, the easier it is for people to call him out on his bullshit. 【History】 Born six years prior to the massive world war, Arima lived a peaceful life before and after the events really. His family was largely protected by the heads of the rebelling force against the mighty crusading army. It was around age 8 that he developed this idea that he was part of a big family, like the Uchiha or the Kazekage lineage. That he was destined to help this world too by leading it to safety with the Red Sages. Becoming a shinobi thus became a thing, but he was quickly disillusioned when he realized it was rather tough. He put hi spirit in it sure, but often got discouraged when more talent prodigies bested him in almost every field. Nonetheless, this sense of pride remained strong, and while he was named Shuu and Tametomo was a pariah name, he knew that among the inner circles of his family he was seen as special because of this. Becoming a chuunin was a rather average experience for him, he always blamed his teammates for his shortcomings and hardly passed the exams needed. Nonetheless, he made it, and quickly backed out of as many Confederation activities as he could. He was entirely dedicated to the Red Sages and would demand to be trained under their own men rather than by the typical government bound shinobi. Eventually he'd be recognized capable of conducting covert operations, and in his first he was paired with an experience Jonin. The goal was simple, find and infiltrate a simple weapons barrack and set it to blow up. When Arima would tell this tale of course, it was one of the main secret warehouses for quality weapons manufacturing among other things. He didn't lie that the operation was successful however, and exaggerated the few patrols confused and searching around the area with multiple special Ops pursuing them through the border. But hey, details. Oh and yes, that's where he got his scar. The special ops offered a great version of this story, but the thing was that they had to stop their trip for a rest, and who said rest also said snack break. Being the idiot that he is, he tried to open the sealed can with his teeth since most of their tools were left behind to hide evidence. A beautifully vertical and bloody cut on his lip. Well at least the lid was silver like the blade of those commando ninjas. Nowadays he tells this tale, and many believe him due to mostly his status and the fact that despite not being on par, he is a pretty good shinobi who ca handle his own. Some of his teammates were still tipped off about the real events and see right through his make believe, but even while knowing that he tries to stick with the fake alternative to make himself feel better about ... Things. 【Family ties】 Being raised within a branch of the Tametomo, he's known to be related to the two great leaders of The Red Sages. Both his parents are alive and well and he has no siblings. They go under the surname Shuu to avoid any attention from the Confederation. Toroi Shuu \| Father \| 49, Amegakure, Former Chuunin and now door to door salesman Kurona Shuu \| Mother \| 37, Amegakure, Chuunin under the Confederation, serving as a mole for The Red Sages Souji Tametomo \| Cousin \| 27, N/A, Leader of The Red Sages, 1st Degree cousin with Kurona Shuu Chieko Honma \| Friend \| 15, Konoha, Member and colleague in The Red Sages, He hopelessly has a crush on her and they've been partnered before (strong synergy as they both use lightning) 【Dreams and fears】 He dreams of actually reaching the level of his cousins and maybe one day be worthy of carrying on at least some of The Red Sage's legacy. He's absolutely scared of his current condition, of not being good enough for any of this. He also fears the intense battlefield, the inevitable possibility that he'll die. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Obviously oriented toward a style of kickboxing, focusing primarily on the electrical nature of his boots to channel ninjutsu. He is rather speedy in his methods, going for quick hit and run strikes when he sees the opportunity, sometimes even being quite impulsive. He has a hard time making a decent strategy when under pressure, but when he has one, it's sure to make some heads burn. He often attempts to lands as quickly as possible a finisher move even if it wouldn't be the wisest thing to do. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Nope, All skill. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Cosmos Finale: Electrovoid B rank techniques: Shadow Clone Technique Tametomo Cosmos Style: Guillotine Wave Tametomo Cosmos Style: Storm C rank techniques: Lightning Release: Lightning Beast Tracking Fang Cosmos Style: Z-line Cosmos Style: Thunderball Cosmos Style: Hard Counter D-E rank techniques: Demonic Illusion: Lightning Flash Pillar 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Cosmos Finale: Electrovoid Rank: A Range: Contact Description: This time a strange, yellow lightning it focused on both Glorious Cosmos as if Arima was charging an attack. As usual, he attempts to strike down the enemy, whether they dodge or block, it doesn't matter. The energy is suddenly released and manifests itself as a bolt of lightning traveling randomly in a small radius. A wind attack or an explosion would quickly dispel it. However, if it were to hit a chakra entity other than its maker, it would disperse and be absorbed by their body. The victim won't feel any pain, actually, they won't feel anything at all. If this bolt manages to hit someone, they will be completely robbed of their sense of touch as their spinal cord and brain were struck in a specific manner. They will not feel themselves standing, making them lose all sense of balance, their members will move oddly whenever they're not directly looking at them. They won't feel themselves throwing the command to move and as such they can't know if their movements are coherent enough to make a simple gait. The effects last for three posts before the sense is regained, though even the most trained are barely efficient after this. Jutsu name: Tametomo Cosmos Style: Guillotine Wave Rank: B Range: Contact + 50m Description: Inspired by the famous Raikage Guillotine Drop, Arima charges a large amount of chakra on one of the Glorious Cosmos, making it flash in blinding bright blue. All he has to do is simply crash in a powerful downward kick, not necessarily like the Guillotine drop, but it needs to be well placed. The impact would be akin to a full powered chakra enhanced strength hit, causing a massive shockwave of electricity that would shock anyone in a 50m radius, though only slight burns and movement slowing would occur, the pushback however would be fierce. Those hit, whether directly or blocked, will inevitably suffer a large amount of lightning chakra striking them in all directions. This makes for really powerful finisher. The chakra taxing is immense, making it only possible to use twice in a fight as of now with a risk of damaging his leg. Jutsu name: Tametomor Cosmos Style: Storm Rank: B Range: 30 meter radius Description: By kicking a wave of about twenty Thunderballs in the air, they all stand at a halt around the field like a dome of some kind, endlessly spinning around as if Arima manipulated them. They can be popped, but exploding one won't cause a chain reaction strangely enough. Under Arima's command, they will suddenly stop and rush in to converge at a targeted spot. It isn't too difficult to notice them striking and to evade them, however if one were to take a hit, the explosion will be particularly deadly in the epicenter, usually leading to death or knock out. Within the radius, major burns can still occur as well as electrical sparks running through the body to immobilize and/or cripple movement for a short period of time. Jutsu name: Cosmos Style: Z-line Rank: C Range: Up to 50 meters in the air and down under Description: A somewhat more complicated techniques. Lightning chakra is focused on the Glorious Cosmos as Arima uses either the Ice Skates or Rollers mode. The start to flash a brighter blue as he traverses a specific trajectory, leaving a black line on the ground he came in contact with (even water). He can make one as long as 50 meters. The thing is, this line is charged with lightning chakra, and any large entity of chakra crossing it will have all the lightning stored in them zapped into them, like an electric wall. The effects are nasty burns and short term immobility. To avoid it, one must get over 50 meters over the line or 50 meters below. Jutsu name: Cosmos Style: Thunderball Rank: C Range: 0 - 150 m Description: A very simple technique that involves Arima making a simple kick, whether forward, upward, to the side, it doesn't matter. What occurs is that by molding a tiny bit of chakra in the Glorious Cosmos, he is capable of releasing a speeding ball of blue lightning the size of a basketball at the direction he kicked, going as fast as a shuriken. When hitting something, it will explode in an explosion comparable to an explosive tag but with the affect effect of electricity that can leave paralyzed for a short time and leave extra burns. They can easily be dispelled with a projectile. Jutsu name: Cosmos Style: Hard Counter Rank: C Range: Contact Description: A simple technique that involves Arima performing a perfectly timed kick on an electric attack, whether it is chakra or other. By perfectly intercepting the electricity, the Glorious Cosmos is capable of sucking out the bolt. However, this can only work if the attack is focused in one point that isn't too big and doesn't still hit Arima. Secondly, it can't be too strong, so B rank and under only can be drained. It fills in the battery, and in return restores a little bit of chakra. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Glorious Cosmos Weapon, tool or object type: A pair of enhanced combat Boots Description: A pair of navy blue boots that look completely ordinary at first glance, reaching up to about his knees. Whens responding to Arima's chakra, they get covered in a sky blue aura with electrical sparks visible from time to time. Once active, the Glorious Cosmos become enhanced by stockpiled chakra, making them as hard as chakra enhanced steel, thus more than capable of countering most weapons. This 'chakra' that is stored inside each piece is actually dependent of an individual battery in each filled with lightning chakra, but it can also be charged with normal forms of electricity. Now don't go think he can sponge lightning, not quite, but it can accumulate energy gathered through movement of any kind. The aura surrounded can thus continuously replenish itself thanks to movement, and as such can also deliver rather nasty blows too. The electric aura will defuse visible shocks of electricity, although not all that dangerous, they can leave burns and even cause violent muscle spasms if hit in areas near the heart and lungs. The Glorious Cosmos are capable of switching into different 'modes', going to rollers blades and ice skates for greatly enhanced mobility. Needless to say he's faster than the average shinobi run with this. As such Arima can easily use the ice skates to utilise them them as lethal blades when going close and personal. “Ladies and Gentlemen, and everything in Between!” 1m51 - 40 Kg With adulthood, Aoi had her look adapt to her new circumstances, giving a lot less of a child-like impression and one more akin to a woman thriving in her life. To start off, she dedicated her look to her usage name she employs in her job by dyeing her hair sky blue, going along perfectly with her naturally blue colored, dazzling eyes. The way she styles her hair varies depending on trends and demands from her current position, as of now she keeps the look on the picture as it is Myaka Shouho's main hairstyle these days. Untied they reach the middle of her back. She appears to be rather well pampered with quality makeup on during any of her outings and attires that are mostly seen on big shot magazines. Quite often with eye capturing colors, she purposely takes a more flashy appearance to please the demand of her viewers and accomplish her daily motives within the Confederation's News Network and Public Relations. In more casual circumstances where she either doesn't want to be recognized or is fighting, she's wearing a pair of high-heeled white boots, black jeans with a combat bet containing multiple small pouches, a black tank top and a white jacket over it. Her stature is rather small, but only 151 cm in height and rather light, she doesn't bode the muscle mass of many of her shinobi peers, but such bulk would only trample on her style. Her petite silhouette does demonstrate minuscule levels of strength, but her body is rightly trained in the art of gymnastics and flexibility. A malleable body that can adapt to many situations and adopt techniques a lot easier than one geared to toning muscle. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Aoi Fuegushi 【Alias】 Aoi Don Maquia - Former Name Hamajō's Blue Voice 【Affiliation】 The Hamajō Confederation 【Age】 28 【Sex】 Female 【Sexuality】 Homosexual 【Birthplace】 Amegakure 【Bloodline】 The Don Maquia troupe: Although not officially bloodline, the circus troupe prepares their young to perform certain arts and master certain abilities generally unknown to the world. 【Rank】 Jonin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Once a bubbly airhead, Aoi had since matured a whole lot since the war, becoming a lot more conscious of what she says and how she behaves around people. That said, she is a very illuminating and energetic presence, absolutely impossible to miss within a crowd or an occupied room. She still oozes positive aura despite what happened in Konoha 11 years back, searching for ways to make the situation better for everyone. While still having a need to be the center of everything, she did learn to let her attention gobbling and egocentric desires a rest. Nonetheless, she doesn't mind discussing various things she's achieved and something cut people off to express her sometimes misinformed opinion. She means well, but Aoi isn't one to be completely self-conscious either. Because of this, she can't be a social butterfly, but her powerful presence makes for unique charm and charisma to both sexes and her eloquence as a performer allowed her to gain access to positions that were only available in her dreams. Even things she doesn't quite understand, at all, she can make them convincing enough with the right look and her way of expressing it. A crowd pleaser for sure, all this attention and success have gone up to her behavior however. Now a seductress of the highest caliber, she doesn't mind dressing sexy to seduce those of the fairer sex she deems attractive. In spite of this, she's truly looking for someone she could end up with but fails to produce the exact result her now complex mind expects. The biggest enigma about Aoi would be her her brains, her intelligence. Although brainy with random trivia, she isn't the brightest one of the bunch that's for sure. Her vocabulary isn't too large and sometimes says things she just doesn't know the definition of. She's also ignorant when it comes to understanding more complex issues linked together and has trouble associating ideas, in a sense she isn't the most logical person either. This however comes into question when she clearly demonstrates creativity that surpasses a lot of conditioned shinobi. In the field, she is particularly efficient, at the level of her Prodigy counterpart Yamato, with usually very crafty and deceptive tactics used to finish off any type of foe. She doesn't outsmart them, but she pulls off the most unexpected of things while holding a large amount of skill. Despite this, Aoi is something that is easily influenced and holds her situation dearly. Meaning she can be manipulated through things like morals and people's views on her, as yes she actually cares about what people think. She is indeed loyal to the Confederation, but it can be broken given the right initiative by the opposing forces. 【History】 Before the Hamajō reign: Like many children living in an era of poverty in smaller countries, Aoi was abandoned by her parents a few hours after her birth. Fortunately the parents didn't randomly leave her at a home but instead confided her to the renown Don Maquia troupe as they passed the country. They knew leaving an abandoned child there would motivate them to keep it, as it was how they usually made staff. And so, she was raised in a gypsy-esque environment where travelling was frequent and work was every day, no real weekend. As she grew up, Jouro Don Maquia would not cut her some slack and initiated her to the realities of labor and hardships, but she never really complained as it felt normal to her. It didn't mean she was devoid of any fun, if anything fun was something they managed to develop during work and practice for performances. Usually by mixing the two, Aoi and her closest friend Mia had fun doing their chores while doing various acrobatic acts. She was happy with what she had, and couldn't care less about her biological parents. At one point, she'd be initiated to one of the troupe's secrets, a special way to manipulate chakra without being unique. She had a strong affinity for water, being from the Rain village, and naturally developed the abilities to hide in water and rain, but she had no knowledge of chakra otherwise. The basics were learned through usual practice, walking on water impressed many civilians, so it was general practice, substitution made great magic effects, fake clones too and so on. Chakra was something that enabled great success for the troupe, however the true secret revealed to Aoi's specific affinity would be her mucus ability. With it, she'd easily impress her audience while being exceptionally flexible in most domains. Initially, it wasn't meant to be a weapon, but through creativity, she managed to defend herself from low bandits trying to rob the troupe. Eventually reaching Konoha, multiple Jounin took notice of her unique capabilities that they had never seen before and offered her the chance to become a ninja. Realizing how it would approach her to her goal, she righteously accepted and moved on as a Genin without any Academy training (she was more than capable in entry levels). The only problem would be that she'd be unable to read and write, causing problems to her superiors. Sure she managed to learn most of it, but she isn't quite efficient at it, being a slow reader and writing so poorly it's barely comprehensible. She easily learns new lingo, however. After the Hamajō reign: Many events in Konoha honed her as a shinobi, built her as a lover and ascended her as a potential star. The war swept all that away, her skills were no match, her lover drowned into despair and all she worked for was tuned into ash by this coming of a new world. Disoriented and lost, she clung onto her falling girlfriend, Akio, who took the events extremely badly. Occasional abuse in multiple ways and the general change of behavior from the older one of the couple ended up infuriating the now disillusioned Aoi and prompted her to simply abandon the wreck once and for all. She hated this new world, it changed everything, and her naive self liked how things were. Now it was all controlled and safe, no risk worthwhile or a crowd to please as everyone was too busy to recover. Or so she thought. In reality her talents were exactly what the populace needed in this time of rapid reconstruction and loss. She had lost her masters, her friends and her lover, but the Phoenix would rise from its ashes and burn brighter than ever. Making a small reputation, she'd make herself known by higher generals of the Confederation, including Ryuu and Yakoul. Though she had potential, the genius that is Ryuu saw how malleable her mind was and simply offered something she couldn't refuse. Along with Yamato, she's one of the higher shinobi in the Confederate entourage, though she also holds a prime position in the Presidents inner circle. She doesn't have a voice in the matters, but she stands as the head of public relations, the face of the Government when the President isn't the one making declarations. To add to that, she's been given the position of primary news anchor for the Government's main news channel, or at least the most popular one, and is often given the ability to host other shows sponsored by the same channel. Because of this, Aoi's become a rather relevant icon to the Confederation. At a point during her career, she chose the name Fuegushi as surname to replace her previous one as a step through grief. Indeed, upon learning the fact that her childhood troupe had been missing now for years without a trace, she finally accepted they were permanently gone. 【Family ties】 Aoi's ties are rather strange to say the least. She wasn't raised by ordinary parents, but rather grew up as a carny along with the entire Don Maquia troupe. Her relationship with them is worthy of a sibling-type relation, as they grew up with her since she was in diapers. They did not object to her ambition of becoming a famous ninja, having formed her for such usage in any case. They continue to support her through letters and regular visits at Konoha. As of now, the troupe has been missing since the end of the war, many consider them dead, including Aoi who grieved them. Jouro Don Maquia \| Adoptive Father \| 67, Missing, The leader of the Don Maquia Troupe, regarded as the father of every member, he is highly respected and no one dares to question his authority. Mia Don Maquia \| Spiritual Sister \| 28, Missing, A professional acrobat in the troupe, she was Aoi's best friend and closest 'sister'. Bo Don Maquia \| Spiritual Uncle \| 55, Missing, The lion tamer of the troupe, he often took care of Aoi when she had fallen ill or when Jouro wasn't around. Guru \| Pet \| 19, In Aoi's big house, Aoi's attributed animal she had to raise. It is an elephant she often uses in her performances in the troupe. Akio Tendou \| Ex-Lover \| 29, Not here, Aoi's first girlfriend after changing her love interest paradigm. The relationship ended little after the end of the war as Aoi was simply fed up with her bullshit. 【Dreams and fears】 Having achieved her first goal of being a renown figure in not only a big village, but now the whole world, she only dreams of creating new and exciting things for the world to see. She tries her best to have people see the bright side of this world, to keep it intact. She fears losing this imperfect world and falling into the oubliette, or worst yet being seen as a devil for supporting a state that people were, for some reason, fed up with. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Sporadic and relying a lot of deceit to defeat her foes with grace. Aoi holds the idea of making her fights a spectacle, a show to be enjoyed, as such her fighting style has new been geared to manipulate the way they perceive things while making it a powerful experience for everything, whether it is good or bad. She uses her creative skills to have Genjutsu applied in the most unsuspecting of ways and circumstances, making her almost unbelievably difficult to reach at times. She enjoys employing her Hiden since it is her only ninjutsu weapon and often times only solely rely on it when going on the offensive. This isn't to be confused with the idea that she is a potent fighter up close. Though she prefers mid rage considering none of her abilities are efficient at long range and her small frame makes her vulnerable to close quarters, she is very well versed in taijutsu as a former circus clown and performer. Agile and swift with reflexes typical of an expert in the senses, she easily uses her martial arts skills to use the enemy's strength against them and lay them flat quickly. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Mucus Surprise Description: Although not a true bloodline limit, very few in the world are able to master this ability. Essentially it requires initiation from birth and at least an affinity to water, thus it can be classed as a form of Hiden. Rare societies such as the Don Maquia troupe have maintained its secrets. Basically, it enables the wielder to turn their chakra into different form of oozing mucus that can take the form of different imagined objects and have the properties of things such as rubber or gum. The possibilities are quite huge but the product coming from it is thick liquid-like substance that almost always sticks. Strengths: Generally it keeps the properties of rubber and gum, making it not only dangerously adhesive but strongly resistant to kinetic force coming from blunt strikes. When used as a medium to trap others, it is surprisingly lethal and effective. Strongly resistant to burns as it is originally made of water, conducts electricity poorly due to composition however. Weaknesses: Generally easy to cut through depending on the mass and density, which only require extra strength put into cuts. Those with superior physical strength can resist the stickiness to a great extent, even break it under conditions. 【Ninja techniques】 S rank techniques: Super Mega Magician's Secret! (May or may not have one. Will have it validated when I decide to give her one. Because I won't be using her as a PVP character yet, it isn't a big deal. I mostly want to introduce her.) A rank techniques: 3 Gooey Bungee! Jellyfish Sting! Mumbo Jumbo! B rank techniques: 4 Mister Spodes! Gooey Replica Mirrored Bizarro! Dance of the gallant C rank techniques: 4 Water Release: Starch Syrup Capturing Field Freeze Snap! Gooey Surprise! Snot Bubble! D-E rank techniques: 3 Water Release: Hiding in Water Technique Water Release: Hiding in Rain Technique Demonic Illusion: Double False Surroundings Technique *Basic Jutsu 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Gooey Bungee Rank: A Range: From 0 to 80 meters to apply it, maintained in over 200 meters Description: A transparent strand of mucus is created from her body and can be released from any point she desires. The strand itself can have one end stuck against a target she had contact with as much as she can have it latch onto something from a distance (by pointing at it or something similar). While being transparent, it has little to no texture and can barely be felt if touching the skin due to its lack of smell, taste or consistency. This mucus, however, is dangerous for many reasons. It can contract and release whenever Aoi desires (its her chakra after all), the contraction being exceptionally powerful like a form of 'super-rubber', allowing her to pull our push relatively heavy thing by simply connecting the strand to her index finger. The strength and weight of the target will determine the amount of chakra is demands for the contraction strength. She can also transfer it from her finger to say another target and have it contact, causing one or both the targets to be pulled and hit each other. She can use up to fifteen at once. They can be easily cut, however they do not vanish, making them susceptible to being reattached at any moment. Ripping it off would be logical, however if it was to contract, it would be relatively futile. On lighter objects, it can tighten itself to a point where it can act like a chakra thread, manipulating said smaller objects at will, though that doesn't mean she can be as precise as a puppet master. Jutsu name: Unexpected Reveal: Jellyfish Sting! Rank: A Range: Contact Description: A technique developed during the time when Aoi was under evaluation for "Jonin confirmation". Given the lack of examination, she was put under Katsu Hyuuga's care for testing. Forming a type of student - teacher bond, they grew accustomed to each other's abilities and were able to create this technique. Utilizing the same principles as the soft fist fighting style, Aoi either uses the tip of her fingers or the pointed knuckles of her major fingers to "spray" raw mucus chakra. Unlike Hyuuga, she cannot pinpoint it on either tenketsu or on organs to have a result, but she can have the raw chakra pierce through armor (still requires contact) and flesh and have it take solid form a second later. The result is mucus chakra clogging primarily the nervous system and somewhat of the chakra system (mostly efficient on members). If hitting an arm for instance, the nervous messages from let's say the elbow if hit there down to the hands will be blocked, essentially paralyzing the forearm. With the body, hitting the abdomen or the chest strongly reduces mobility to the point where coordination is difficult (members remain normal), the more it is hit the more one will feel exhausted. If the spine, neck or head are hit, they are instantly paralyzed. No matter where, the effects of each hit lasts for two posts. They are also very easy to counter with a strong punch considering Aoi's poor strength, making it an ability extremely efficient but ridiculously risky. The fact that it can just be substituted with a simple stab also gears this to a more non-lethal approach. Jutsu name: Mumbo Jumbo! Rank: A Range: Touch Description: Possibly the most terrifying jutsu used by Aoi and the 'magician's secret' she's never revealed to the public. This is a genjutsu that requires that her chakra enters into contact with an opponent, either via contact or through ninjutsu. With this done, the magic can begin. The victims become completely blind to Shinobi magic and are unable to see or feel Aoi's chakra, and by extension, the forms they take. Any form of ninjutsu she uses will appear strangely, but she'll often make it appear as though they're part of something else, like a trick to deceive the opponent and make them weary. Sensors can see their own chakra as well as chakra in Aoi's body, but not what comes out of it, as such they can see they're under a genjutsu, but when are they not with Aoi? Jutsu name: Mister Spodes! Rank: B Range: Can reach up to 20 meters (tentacles) Description: Using the same cloth as Abra Kadabra, Aoi twists and turns the handkerchief with blinding speed (such as a clown making a balloon animal) until it forms a hollow Octopus with a ^0^ face. It would only be when she tosses it while doing the Ram seal that it suddenly gets filled with a mass of mucus in it. It becomes about 2 feet in height and holds eight tentacles likes a regular octopus. They aren't very mobile and are generally very slow, however their tentacles extend rather quickly and can catch someone off guard. The mucus in the tentacles serves as a form of suction cup that keeps what it captures stuck in a tight bind similar to Gooey Surprise (with same limits). The Mister Spodes can easily glues themselves to the ground to prevent enemies from dragging them, essentially making them very useful seals to non-superhuman fighters. They die when their head it damaged (to the point where it leaks). Aoi can make up to four of them per fight and they can also be used as body replacement dummies. They also have a very eerie tendency to wail 'Boyoyoyoyon' quite often, no one knows how this is possible. Jutsu name: Gooey Replica! Rank: B Range: Self, Clone technique Description: Essentially shadow clone technique applied on mucus. The clones are composed of strange, green mucus and are able to move like regular people. They can also use mucus abilities with half the power of the original (in exception to techniques higher in rank than this one). When they die, they explode into a heavy mass of mucus that sticks onto anything around them, hence their use as suicide bombers to hinder the movements of an opponent. Up to seven can be made per fight. Jutsu name: Mirrored Bizarro! Rank: B Range: Smell Description: A genjutsu that depends on smell related activation. Because Aoi constantly wears a high quality Lavender perfume that ca be smelled from multiple meters away, she she exploits that fact to make it extremely hard to detect. In this circumstance, she performs a single hand seal, often doing it after doing another jutsu to make the enemy believe only one jutsu was made, but she actually makes her chakra adopt an aroma the same as her perfume. The smell is strong but hardly noticeable due to it being normal in her presence, but it deeply affects the perception of the people infected. In this case, everything they perceive will be inverted in direction, left is right, up is down. They will see everything this way, but the reality of it will be the contrary. The victim can pick up on it as they can also hear the real version attacking in the opposite side (as well as sense it via chakra sensing), but the illusion remains overwhelmingly real, and without a release, their reflexes will likely make them sloppier as it would seem as though they are genuinely attacked from the illusion. Jutsu name: Dance of the gallant Rank: B Range: Sight Description: A Genjutsu that is activated whenever the patterns on her umbrella are seen as they hold a hypnotic effect combined with her chakra. The effects allow her to create a replica of herself between 0 m to 1 m away from her, no matter the side. It will mimic movements typical of Aoi, however the true Aoi is completely replaced by the false one. This is usually made to confuse close range attackers, making them think she is capable of dodging everything before taking the right opportunity to strike. This can also be used to simply confuse any form of attacker into hitting the false image while th real remains concealed. Exceptionally deadly if the genjutsu isn't noticed fast enough. The image can of course move around as long as Aoi is in the perimeter. Jutsu name: Freeze Snap! Rank: C Range: Sight - Sound Description: Aoi forms a small ball of Yin chakra and simply tosses it in the air or on the nearby ground, only to have it pop like fireworks or a firecracker. The flash is so bright, it works as a flashbang. The effects are simple, those exposed regain their sight extremely fast, the flash was barely a millisecond, but they'll feel an endless buzzing sound in their ears with nothing else and the world around them frozen in time. Everything looks like the instant before the bang went out. Evidently a Genjutsu, it is easy to notice and Kai out. Jutsu name: Gooey Surprise! Rank: C Range: Close, in person. Description: A much more developed variation of the transformation technique. Indeed, the user covers themselves with a gooey layer of mucus capable of taking different shapes and sizes, colors and textures. The mucus is highly adhesive though, enough to make it act like quicksand: The more there's resistance, the deeper it gets, though it cannot be that deep because of Aoi's thin figure. It is very useful for trapping though not too specialized in hand to hand combat. Those specialized can use their techniques to break free with relative ease, though it doesn't mean that they're immune to the immediate effects. It doesn't give immunity to heat either, though it does slightly reduce overall damage, along with any other type of damage really. Jutsu name: Snot danger parade! Rank: C Range: Varies, close to medium usually. Description: By either using a specific hand sign or inhaling things like pepper, Aoi sneezes large mucus bubbles capable of swallowing more than one individual. The larger that it can get would be as large as a horse. Those trapped inside can easily pop it, however it would result in the bubble imploding, not only causing strong pressure to hit their bodies, rendering most to a rather confused and head aching state, while being covering in dense mucus stuck on the ground. This also causes smaller, human size bubbles to take shape. If the popping is made from outside, the explosion is general and hits everyone except those inside. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Fuegushi Weapon, tool or object type: Umbrella Description: A strange, light blue umbrella Aoi carries around with her. It appears to be the type en vogue these days, but her's holds a strange butterfly-like black pattern on it which enables one of her genjutsu. The handle can be removed to revealed a concealed blade, slightly shorter than a rapier. This Umbrella is capable of releasing a powerful kinetic force at close range when opened, making it capable of repelling powerful projectiles without even a recoil when the timing is right, making some unsuspecting close rangers stumble back in surprise as well. It is chakra enhanced and its fabric is strangely durable yet thin. Weapon, tool or object name: Magic Cards Weapon, tool or object type: Cutting weapon Description: A set of playing cards forged to be as sharp as a kunai, however lighter and more malleable. They are easier to use but weak in one on one blade fights as their small weight makes them easy to break through. They are perfect for assassination and tactically placed hits, however.
51,127	1,381	34	1,663	1,134	Yudai KageyamaAme - Suna - Konohagakure border, inside the barrier Red Sages If Yudai knew a battle would erupt a few moments before he sinked in the ground, he'd stay and aid the Lady-Commander in it. But, for now, he was occupied with something else: The Barrier. From underneath the ground, he could feel the magnetic forces above - and he could tell there were a handful of shinobi up there. Yudai was sweating with anxiety, but he tried his best to clear his mind and remain as calm as possible, in order to trace a plan. If he could make the barrier fall, even for a few seconds, it would be enough for that man to enter and likely destroy everyone inside in a matter of seconds. If something went wrong though, Yudai would likely pay the price with his own life: He knew he wasn't capable of handing that many shinobi by himself. But, he had to try, it was his chance to prove himself useful. Calculating roughly where the center of this place would be, Yudai erupted from the group very quickly, his hands already forming four quick handseals. Doton, Jishin! At the same time, the shinobi leaned down to slam his hands at the ground, creating the whole area around him to begin shaking wildly, the earth shattering and likely causing everyone that stood in the ground to lose their balance - except for the boy, himself. If anyone felt in the ground, they could possibly take damage as the whole ground began shattering, earth was crumbling and sinking, until Yudai was interrupted - or, until the barrier felt. UchihaAme- Suna - Konohagakure border, leaving the mist The Hamajõ Confederation An Uchiha was not supposed to lose this easily - no. Uchiha are a powerful clan, with one of the most powerful dõjutsu, they're skilled, feared and respected - the Sharingan is a symbol of power and uniqueness, how could Kaori fall so easily for a genjutsu, how could her motor skill fail her that much when she simply needed to clamp her hands together, while this strange Red Sage still stood- he could even sprint in her direction, which he was doing now and Kaori knew that she was going to get killed. His staff, she could see how powerful the chakra around it had became, it was practically the same level of her Hinõken with the maximum intensity, if not stronger. He was spouting out some nonsense, but Kaori could barely hear - after all, a stronger sound was currently predominant in her mind, the ringing bells sound. This cursed Genjutsu! "THIS CURSED GENJUTSU!" "KAI!" Finally, Kaori mustered the strength (truly, it took her a lot of effort to move her arms, given her motor skills had nearly been taken completely from her) to clamp her hands together and release herself from this damned genjutsu, but alas, it was too late. Not that she had been hit, no, but apparently not one, but two other confederate shinobi had aided her. Her Sharingan could take the senbon flying into sight - then, a spear (naginata), all flew towards the boy and interrupted his attack. Finally, a well known Hyuuga stepped in to help her, this arrogant, but efficient man known as Higoho. The bastard. "Just like the Uchiha bastards to stick their noses in a fight that's not theirs. I was fighting these two Red Sage monkeys, so go play 'destructor of the world' somewhere else, with your fucking curse of hatred.” Honestly, the words weren't dripped in venom. They were drenched with venomous insulting words that Kaori couldn't even understand why; normally, he was known for being arrogant, but Kaori never expected him to be this enormous asshole. Nonetheless, his efforts had saved her life and despite her deep desire to tell him to fuck off right now, all she could do was bow her head slightly and let out a barely audible; "Thank you." Then, she unsheated Hinõken and began stepping back. If this was his fight, she'd leave it to him. Kaori tried to escape the mist, so she could offer her aid somewhere else.	Nero's Compendium! "Pillars are what support a structure, but if one ever crumbles, all of them will fall.” Yudai is a tall and somewhat imposing young man, standing at 5'8" \| 1,78m. His physique appears to be lean, but on closer inspection one could notice that he's in fact fit, with subtle musculature definition everywhere on his body. His hair is a dark brown color and often unkempt, as if he didn't care at all about the way it looks - this is slightly contradicting to the fact that his ears are pierced, which possibly proves that the boy does cares about his appearance. His pale blue eyes constantly flicker from point to point, rarely focusing on something for too long - some note that he always looks distant, as if not paying any attention to his surroudings. The Kanji on his clothes are 影山 (Kageyama, his family name). Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Every aspect of Yudai, at least externally and from his appearance itself, seems distant. His gaze is a constant reminder of this, given the way it roams the whole time, briefly pausing on his surroundings before he takes interest in something else again. Even when Yudai is directly talking to someone, he avoids eye-contact entirely and if someone even tries to stare at him or look directly at his eyes for too long, he'll become rapidly nervous and anxious and might even avoid the person in question for a while. Otherwise, Yudai is relaxed, but extremely observant. His mind is constantly noticing what is actually happening around him and thus, while others might see him as distracted and distant, he's the opposite. He finds his own life rather boring the majority of time which prompts him to search for enthusiasm on other things out on the world. He's also easily interested in hearing stories from others, or even simply listening others talk about their own life. He has his own ambitions of becoming a highly respected political figure or leader, one day. But on the way the world is currently, he shoved such ambitions away and for now, he's only focused on strengthening himself. 【History】 Yudai's birth came from the love between Reiko and Kohaku - sadly, however, Reiko died due to complications at his birth. While the expected outcome was his father to put the blame on him and give Yudai the worst life ever, in order for this story to follow the traditional hero backstory guide, the opposite happened. Kohaku Kageyama was a hard-working man. He used to be a powerful shinobi many years ago, but lost his left eye and his right hand was completely destroyed in the same battle, thus leaving him unapt for battle for the rest of life. The loss of his wife could've disgraced his life forever, but instead, he found new hope on his newborn child, Yudai - the name 'Yudai' itself, was to show the man's hope of a hero, not for the nation, not for the world, but a hero that would save Kohaku himself from utter depression. Which Yudai indeed did. As any other child, he was very, very curious about everything and from the day he began learning his first words, he'd frequently ask his father about everything. Even about the eyepatch the man wore on his left eye, about the bandages around the man's right hand - and when the man began explaining about shinobi, about the wars.. Well, Yudai only became more interested in it altogether. Often, Yudai and Kohaku spent hours chatting about whatever, the subject leaped from how eggs were produced to why the sky was blue. As he matured, reaching the age of eleven, Yudai slowly began developing a strange desire to be someone who had a high position. Power. He wanted to be esteemed in a way that people would admire and respect because of his achievements in life. Of course, it was too soon to think about that, and Yudai was a mere child with an ambition bigger than himself. For now, the boy focused on studying and training. He had taken an immense interest in shinobi. In fact, he spent more time reading about chakra, taijutsu and ninjutsu than he spent studying the school's subjects, which was the reason he almost failed the year. His father aided him when he could, he gave his son clear training routines and made him follow them strictly. He felt immense pride in his son following the same steps as him, while the same time, was divided with the fear that he could end suffering the consequences of a war - like the man himself did. But, the thoughts that peace had finally settled in eased that fear. When Yudai graduated, at the age of 14, he knew exactly that his dream of becoming someone with high power was indeed his true ambition. You see, he received quite the praise for being a dedicated student - even if he almost failed in the past year, he dedicated himself the most to studying this one and got amazing grades, impressing his teachers and father. When they openly talked about him and his dedication, his heart pouded inside his chest with what he could only understand as recognition. Time eventually passed, Yudai grew into a fine - and very attractive - young man. He noticed that women around started to take interest in him, perhaps it was the pale blue eyes, but honestly, he didn't care all that much. Yudai did had quite a few cases with one or another girl here and there, but it never blossomed into a true relationship, he was that type of guy. In fact, the older Yudai got, the more he found his life... boring. It wasn't no one's fault, truly. It was just that his ambition - it was something that seemed far away from his reach, impossible - it was as if he could fight his whole life for it and yet, he'd never taste it. Finally, Yudai finished highschool. It was the same year that he also offically graduated to a chunin rank shinobi - and the year he finally took interest in his own life, even if only just a little. It all started with one group... the Red Sages. Initially, Yudai was very confused about his choices, when he heard about the group, many wrong ideas filled his mind. But, then, he shoved them away - for he knew in the end, that it was for his own best. You see, the Confederation might've been good for the countries, but it left no option for those who wanted to be something bigger or greater. They had nothing for those who wanted... recognition. In the opposite spectrum, the Red Sages were everything; he knew from the start that if he put his power, his will and his life onto it, like an investment, he'd receive what he wanted in return. He heard it - could be rumors indeed, but they were fulfilling rumors of rebels seeking something greater than an illusionary peace. 【Family ties】 Kageyama is an old and traditional family. The majority of it's members were shinobi, with exceptions. They are divided, with a minor part living in Iwagakure and a larger part living in Konohagakure. In Konohagakure, Kageyama were known for running a restaurant which goes by the name of Yama-Yama.

Not only that, he also dreams of becoming an extremely powerful shinobi, in order to ease his own path towards greatness. He fears of not being recognized, or being 'just someone else' - a faceless individual who has nothing, no respect, glory of power. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Yudai is balanced between taijutsu and ninjutsu, rarely resorting to weapons or ranged weapons. He's very intelligent and tactical in his decisions, as if he had read everything there was to read regarding shinobi (which he probably did in his early life). See, while he's quite strong in hand-to-hand combat, Yudai's first choice is to always analyze his opponent. He appears to be MUCH more experienced and prepared than he truly is due to the manner he keeps himself extremely calm, in any situation. To him, a battle is nothing too different from his daily struggle with life itself. Normally, his Doton ninjutsu is used as a defensive manner, instead of offensively. Thus, he'll always avoid ranged assaults with it. Sometimes, he'll use it offensively as nintaijutsu, but only if he finds a true opening to do so. What Yudai lacks is withstanding power. He might have defensive methods with Doton, but he can't take many hits - neither last too long in a battle. His stamina isn't the greatest, nor is his chakra pool; in most battles, he either needs to drop his foes quickly, or avoid in a way or another fighting after he begins tiring. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: N/A Description: Yudai does not possess a kekkei genkai. Strengths: N/A Weaknesses: N/A 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: -- B rank techniques: Doton - Doryūheki Doton - Iwayado Kuzushi C rank techniques: Doton - Moguragakure no Jutsu D-E rank techniques: Doton - Doryū Taiga Doton - Doryūdan Doton - Shinjū Zanshu no Jutsu 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Doton - Kotai no Hakai Rank: A Range: Short/Self - hand to hand range. Description: This powerful technique developed by Yudai himself allows him to concentrate his doton chakra onto his hands and arms, coating them with a solid earthly surface. This requires minor constante chakra usage, but it's not very taxing in the long run. What taxes Yudai's chakra sources, however, is the uses this 'chakra armor' has. When used offensively, Yudai can promptly force earthly spikes to surge from anywhere on his arms - fingers, hands, elbows, shoulders; thus, he make turn what would be an easily readed attack onto an unexpected one. Additionally, this also has defensive uses, meaning that when under assault, Yudai can place his arms together and create a defensive shield that protects him from assasults. This defense is powerful enough to withstand some ninjutsu (especially katon), but is ineffective against futon and raiton. The chakra coating can last for a long time if nor the offensive or defensive effects are used, but whenever Yudai chooses to use them, he'll be drained very quickly. Jutsu name: Doton - Jishin Rank: B Range: Long - a large circular area around Yudai (35m roughly) Description: Yudai does the following handseals: Bird, Dog, Ram, Rat. Then, he leans down and slams both of his hands at the ground, causing a large area around him to erupt onto a shattering earthquake, those standing around him will find it impossible to stand without falling - and falling, means taking huge damage as the doton chakra breaks the earth apart and makes them wildly throw about. The center, where Yudai stands, is completley unaffected. This technique might sound powerful and it indeed is, if used in the center of a village for example, he could likely destroy whole buildings easily --- but he'd be killed before major damage was caused, so this is just an example. Otherwise, agile shinobi who can leap and move far away from the area will easily avoid it. If Yudai is attacked or distracted, it will stop as well. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Can be a term, i.e 'kunai' or it can be a self given name, i.e 'Revered Razor'. Weapon, tool or object type: What type of weapon, tool or object is this? Sword, axe, kunai, knife, blade, tanto. Omit if the weapon, tool or object name already designates this. Description: Describe the weapon, tool or objects appearance, and describe it's potentials and weaknesses. tl;dr how powerful is it and what does it look like. Be reasonable. “I hate... ... No, seriously. I can't stand anything that tastes too sweet. It's.. uhng. Bad.” Kaori has an average height and weight, standing at 5'5" and 127lbs, she also has a slender figure with only slightly curves, though one might notice that she was rather wide hips - from likely training and improving her own body. Kaori has a round face, with large eyes, a delicate and small nose and thin lips. Her jet black hair falls well past her shoulders and is often groomed, kept well clean and it even smells nicely; though there are always a few wild strands here and there. She dresses rather simply, keeping a black and grey theme in her attire. She wears a high-collared black shirt, with a short grey jacket with the Uchiha's clan symbol on it's back, a pair of fingerless black gloves and black shorts, together with a pair of knee-high black boots with metallic platings on their nose.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Kaori is usually seen as a cheerful young girl who's still inexperienced to the world's hardships, but that's simply because of her manner of expressing herself; she's kind, even gentle to certain extent and isn't fond of conflicts, always preferring peaceful manners unless using force is an absolute must. That's not to say she's scared of fighting though, Kaori simply adores friendly spars and testing her own abilities- otherwise, she wouldn't ever take training as serious as she does. Despite her cheerful nature, Kaori is not exactly a social butterfly. See, she believes that being positive and keeping her spirit high is helpful to herself and to others in a way. However, it's very rare for Kaori to approach someone and talk openly, rather, she's quite timid and avoids talking unless she's talked to first and usually, being talked to makes her very happy. When it comes to her clan, the Uchiha, Kaori takes high pride in them. In fact, she believes herself superior but doesn't voices it - unless she gets too excited in a battle, to notice. She views the Sharingan as a gift, but only uses it in battle when she clearly needs it, given she has this slight fear of overusing or overshowing her doujutsu, especially in consideration with the events of the past that has led others to develop a distrust towards the sharingan. This same distrust, is what makes Kaori very cautious about talking to strangers, after all, there is still some prejudice against the sharingan specifically, given the events of the past, given the way things are - given the Confederation's actions against some of Kaori's brethren. Lastly, Kaori is very comprehensible and whenever she relates to someone, she tends to become very interested in developing a friendship. She has no interest in any sort of romantic interaction, after all, she's pretty sure she's not the one to gather that sort of interest, anyway. 【History】 Kaori's early life has been quite different than the usual. See, both her mother and her father are shinobi - both also very strict in the sense of pointing Kaori in the same direction as them: Which meant she was trained from the day she could walk. Kaori had two siblings, both boys, one older by a few years and the other, two years older than her. Their names were Kichirou and Keiji, respectively. Kichirou was an arrogant man, see, he had the Sharingan and that very motive led him to be, simply put, an asshole towards mostly everyone. Filled with pride beyond limit, he thought of himself as utterly superior - being a prodigy didn't help. Kichirou was way above the average when it came to shinobi, with only eleven years, he achieved the feat of developing a second chakra nature which was the reason he was then hailed as a genius. Kaori was only six when this happened, while Keiji was eight - he had just entered school. Usually, both trained together but Keiji was too focused at school, he had a peculiar desire of being an inventor or scientist - Kaori could never understand clearly - that draws him away from the training fields. This was frowned upon by her parents, more specifically her father. The man had this strange... desire to blindly follow the Confederation, claiming that the Uchiha had to be a strong clan in order to prove and... redeem themselves. Kaori would only understand that years later. On a cold night, a few days before Kaori's 7th birthday, a scene marked her forever. Through her window, she saw both her father and Keiji outside, having what seemed to be a small discussion. The boy held some books under his arms and was apparently refusing a 'gift' that Kaori's father was offering him - a katana. From the little Kaori could understand, Keiji tried to explain to their father that he wasn't interested in becoming a shinobi and that he believed there were other ways to help and be useful; in the end, all she could remember was Keiji being severely beaten by their own father while all she could do was watching. This forever changed the way she saw her father. War changes someone, truly. That was what had happened with Kaori's father, he was changed, molded by war. Perhaps he believed that it would happen again and wanted his offsprings to be prepared, perhaps it was something else, perhaps he was simply put, insane. Kaori never quite understand his fixation with training and becoming stronger, but what she could understand is that her oldest brother wasn't the only gifted Uchiha of this family, for that night, Kaori's anger and fear evoked a power hidden within her; she awakened her Sharingan. However, she never told her father. Instead, that motivated her to train more. It wasn't to please the man, no, it was to fulfill herself. Her older brother could be as arrogant as she wanted, but Keiji was always there for her, and she, for him. The boy returned to train with Kaori and for the first time in all these eleven years, she had beaten him - and very easily, too. The excitement and buildup of this whole spar awarded Kaori with a second tomoe in her left eye and brought immense surprise to Keiji, but he promised to never tell anyone. During school, all Kaori thought was when it'd end so she could return to her training; she wasn't a bright student, honestly, but Keiji who was seriously smart helped her a lot. When she was close to turning 12, her oldest brother was found dead within the village's borders. This utterly crushed the family, but specifically, Kaori's father entered a state of depression. He treated the whole family as if it was their fault and practically locked himself in his room for a whole year, very rarely getting out. During this time, Kaori had improved a lot. By now, she had developed three tomoes on her left eye, and two on her right eye. Her reaction time, reflexes and precision had seen a jump, and so had her genjutsu and ninjutsu. Her mother, a genjutsu specialist, taught her a few things which aided her. Keiji had been awarded a prize of best student of the year or something akin to that which Kaori never knew roughly in the same date Kaori's sharingan fully matured. The following years went by swiftly, Kaori trained and improved, developing jutsu of her own - while her older brother started working as a project analyst or something of the sort, within the Confederate. She received a pleasant gift from him on her sixteen birthday: A sword, Keiji guaranteed her that this prototype was much more resistant and that wouldn't break or melt easily as the many other swords Kaori had destroyed until now. He also mentioned that the sword was specifically made to withstand katon chakra - and lastly, he made Kaori an offer. To join the Confederate, given her potential as a shinobi. She thought for a while, truth be spoken she was quite afraid of becoming as crazy as her father, but the girl ended up giving a wild smile and agreeing with him. 【Family ties】 As an Uchiha, Kaori'll have ties with mostly any Uchiha, period. But they're all pretty vague apart from her own family itself. Takeshi Uchiha \| Father \| 53, Konohagakure, ex-Veteran, temporarily retired-confederate jounin Takeshi retired due to his trauma after his older son's death, he has yet to recover. Michiko Uchiha \| Mother \| 44, Konohagakure, shinobi - genjutsu specialist Kichirou Uchiha \| Brother \| 26, Konohagakure, deceased Keiji Uchiha \| Middle-Brother \| 18, Konohagakure, confederate project analyst 【Dreams and fears】 Kaori has yet to find true dreams and ambitions to follow. She's young and still looking for something to, well, follow. Maybe an ideal. Honestly, her fears are very vague, as well. She partially fears her own father, but her biggest fear is losing her brother Keiji, who has been the closest person to her since ever. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Kaori focuses on using Fire Release to dispel of her foes, burning them down, together with very efficient genjutsu provided by her Sharingan. She's experienced in hand to hand, but it's easy to tell her taijutsu is her weaker side - even with the added aid from the Sharingan abilities provide her. While Taijutsu is a weak spot, her Kenjutsu is noticeably better, as her movements with a sword are clearly trained and precise, especially given she can use her blade together with fire release in order to increase it's efficiency. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Sharingan Description: The Sharingan (写輪眼, Literally meaning: Copy Wheel Eye, Meaning (Viz): Mirror Wheel Eye) is the dōjutsu kekkei genkai of the Uchiha clan that appears selectively among its members. It is regarded as one of the Three Great Dōjutsu (三大瞳術, San Daidōjutsu, Literally meaning: Three Great Eye Techniques), the others being the Byakugan and the Rinnegan. Strengths: Kaori's Sharingan is fully matured, meaning that it has three tomoes on each eye. This means that when active, Kaori is granted both abilities; the Eye of Insight, giving her the ability to see chakra in different colors in order to distinguish composition and source, an incredibly clarity of perception, meaning that she can see even very fast attacks with some ease and she's capable of minimum predictive abilities, anticipating an opponent's next move or attack and lastly, copy jutsu - but only those she has the ability and knowledge to replicate. Secondly, she's granted the "Eye of Hypnotism", which means Kaori can perform what is generically called Genjutsu: Sharingan. While there are various manifestations and purposes of the ability, the better known one is to, through eye contact, suggest thoughts and actions to a target, coercing them to divulge information or act in a particular way, potentially without the target's awareness. In extreme cases, the Sharingan user can take complete control of the target's body, forcing them to do exactly as the controller wishes; this control is visually indicated by the Sharingan's design appearing in the target's eye. Kaori's ability with this is actually pretty good, a momentarily eye-contact with her Sharingan active is enough to put her opponent in a dangerous genjutsu. Weaknesses: The Sharingan is a worldly known Dojutsu, thus, everyone should be able to recognize it instantly. This makes the Genjutsu very hard to apply, as all the opponent needs to do, is avoid eye-contact. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: N/A B rank techniques: Katon: Gōka Mekkyaku Katon: Haisekishō C rank techniques: Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu D-E rank techniques: Genjutsu: Sharingan While Kaori is skilled to certain extent, she has yet to achieve a grand power-level with genjutsu used through her sharingan. In a brief eye contact, she can merely put her opponent(s) in a simpler genjutsu, that requires little to no effort to break them (if they know how to do so). If there is prolonged eye contact however, she'll be able to cast greater genjutsu. 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Ken Katai (Fire Sword) Rank: C~A Range: Self / Sword's Range Description: Kaori flows an intense blazing chakra through her sword's blade, coating the whole blade with it. The more chakra she uses, the more noticeable it gets given the sword's blade begins turning a slight shade of red - until reaching the maximum, a deep crimson color. The amount of chakra also changes the effects and their strength. If Kaori only uses a minor amount of chakra (C rank), the blade's cutting power increases slightly, the heat makes leave dents whenever it strikes another simple sword or iron object, if in contact with skin, it burn while it cuts. If moderate chakra is applied (B rank) her sword becomes denser and can cut through other swords of average material with some force applied. If it cuts, it will instantly seal the wound - preventing blood, but causing immense pain. With the maximum Kaori can achieve (A rank), the sword's heat raises it's potency to where it could easily cut through iron and even steel, as well as bones with ease. This technique, if applied on an average sword, would only last a few seconds at maximum potency due to how the chakra would also melt the blade it was applied to, itself, but Kaori can keep this technique up for as long as her chakra allows due to her own blade, which would be two to three hours with C rank, one to two hours at B rank, and only two minutes when it achieves the maximum heat (2~3 posts, depending on the time ICly). Jutsu name: Genjutsu: Burning Hell Rank: B Range: Medium Description: Kaori does the required handseals (Tiger, boar, dragon) while she takes a deep breath, then, she exhales the air in the form of a strange smoke that will divide and proceed to form a circle around a small area, before igniting ablaze. This fire, by itself, is harmless. However, if an enemy feels the fire's heat, they'll slowly fall onto a genjutsu prepared by Kaori together with this technique. The heat will increase even if they move away from the flames and they'll eventually increase to the point where it's unbearable, the opponent might try to take their clothes off, throw water onto their body, drink water - no matter, it will never work and the heat will only increase, eventually they'll feel as if every drop of water in their body has been dried and pass out, if the genjutsu is not broken. 【Weaponry, tools and objects】 Weapon, tool or object name: Hinõken Weapon, tool or object type: A katana. Description: Hikoken looks like a simple katana, with a red, beautiful handle. The sword is of excellent craft and it's blade is chakra resistant, allowing the wielder to flow their chakra through it - the blade is specifically repective to katon chakra, which is the reason it was given to Kaori. “Let's end this quickly.” As usual to Uzumaki, Naomi's hair is a crimson red, it's short - with two bangs framing her face and the back is spiky, styled per her own taste. She wears simple silver earrings on each ear and a thin black eyeliner, meaning that she seemingly cares about her outward appearance. Her eyes are a vivid green, intense and large, usually her most prominent trait when one looks directly at her face. She's always wearing a scarf around her neck, the color varies but she usually sports a mix of red, green, yellow and dark orange scarves. Naomi wears a sleeveless dark gray jacket with a simple light gray blouse underneath, a pair of red fingerless gloves that reach her elbows (the seals of her Kuchiyose: Raikō Kenka are placed on the gloves) and slate gray tight pants that are tucked onto a pair of black boots. Notably, the only visible color on the woman's figure is her scarf and her hair. Her figure is slender yet curvaceous, with notable curves adorning her body. Some satchels are seen; one wrapped around her left thigh, another on her right shoulder and a larger one on the right side of her waist. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Naomi is usually seen as arrogant and stuck up due to her cold demeanor and for being otherwise cool-headed. Thing is, she's not arrogant or stuck up, she simply takes being a shinobi as her life, in and out of a mission or task; she's focused, always, and eliminates any emotion that could possibly disrupt her performance. Considered cruel by those who are more sensitive than her, Naomi takes the death of comrades lightly, analyzing it often with 'the enemy was a better shinobi than him/her', this is not entirely true though, Naomi feels the death of a comrade as anyone else capable of feeling would, she just keeps her suffering to herself and hides it entirely. Being so cold and closed off emotionally, it's hard to befriend anyone - not that she wants to, anyway. Naomi doesn't cares about forming bonds with others, surely there has been an increasing trend of forming bonds within the younger shinobi, but she denies them completely. She also doesn't care about hostility, insults or whatever else, she ignores them completely and even when provoked, she keeps the same stoic expression she always has. In battle is where her emotions flow with intensity above her usual: The adrenaline makes so whenever she's hit, she'll smirk or grin smugly, whenever she hits something, you'll see the same smirk but much broader than before. The more fast paced a battle is, the more she'll enjoy it thoroughly and the more she'll dedicate to the fight. Still, it's very rare for her to exchange words with the opposing shinobi, given her self-control that's dominant even above the adrenaline. Talk about dedication, Naomi is very dedicated to her job as a shinobi - and well, to everything else. As one of her philosophies in life, which is to do everything you do the best way you can, she truly dedicates herself entirely whenever she needs to do something and despises those who's nature is being lazy and avoid hard-work. She also tends to despise those who are gifted with power that requires no true work whatsoever; an example would be those who possess the well known dojutsu (Sharingan or Byakugan). This is a bit hypocritical given she's gifted with the Uzumaki's clan natural strong lifeforce and chakra resources. She sympatizes the most with individuals who are similarly hard-working and dedicate themselves in something and may be willing to interact with them, but forming any close bond is practically impossible as of now. Commonly, Naomi spends a good portion of her day training and improving herself. Distracting her from that usually ends with a huff or a sigh, or any minor sign of annoyance that she'll allow herself to do. Still, she won't scold anyone over anything, ever - she's calm and collected, after all, not arrogant and stuck up. She's actually pretty fine with aiding others if they need so (with training or whatever else), even. She may be a bit self-centered and cold, emotionally, but she's not a psycho who's only emotion ever is adrenaline while fighting. To certain extent, Naomi is capable of being friendly, it all depends the mannerisms of whoever she talks or interacts with. Highly concerned with herself, Naomi fears death above everything else, despite her otherwise cold demeanor and the way she enjoys fighting. When an opponent is clearly overwhelming and above her skill level, she'll... fear them. Of course, trained to hide her emotions, she won't show it at all. This extends itself to allies, out of all the things she's ashamed about herself, the fact that she couldn't possibly put her life in risk in order to save another's is her 'biggest shame'. 【History】 Two Years ago. Naomi's eyes briefly flutter closed, reopening to look down at her extended right palm, a hitai-ate with Konohagakure's symbol resting over it, together with blood that was slowly being washed away by the rain. The girl looks up at the sky, raindrops mixing themselves with the tears that silently made their way down her cheeks. She closed her eyes again. Next to her, was a corpse - a female, with a pale white hair, she was clearly dead - with some blood under her, slowly mixing itself with the water from the intense rain. Suddenly, the kunoichi falls onto her knees, she's completely wet due to the rain at this point. Her palms rest against the ground, pressing the hitai-ate firmly against it. She sobs quietly, but only for a moment before taking a deep breath to recompose herself. "Is this what I'm fighting for? This is what the Confederation has to offer me? THIS IS PEACE?!" With her left hand, Naomi punches the ground with all the force she could muster in her current state. It does nothing. "That's the very least the Confederation will offer you, my dear." A mysterious voice. Masculine. Naomi instantly stood up and held a kunai up, looking around her in an attempt to find it's source. She couldn't see anyone, at all. "We, the Red Sages, we only retaliate against the Confederation's attempt to CRUSH us time and time again. We provoked a war, but only to reclaim what's rightfully ours." The voice, this time, was directly behind her. When she turned, ready to strike the kunai onto the man, he had already disappeared, or so it seemed. He was so fast, that she couldn't keep up with his movements despite how close he was. When she turned, he grabbed her wrist and twisted it back, forcing her to drop the kunai. At this moment, Naomi knew that whoever this man was, he was powerful. Her eyes widened and her breath fastened, she was fearing the outcome of this: Her death. "Do you realize? My only desire was to explain you why your friend lies dead at your feet. Why this system, this PEACE is nothing but a bold lie, explicitly shoved down the throats of all brain dead imbeciles that follow the confederation's tyranny out of nothing but FEAR." Suddenly, the man threw her hand back, grabbed her by both shoulders and shoved her down, forcefully throwing the girl onto the ground. As she looked up, directly into his eyes, he smirked. Those eyes... The Sharingan of the Uchiha, most certainly. And then, she feel in a genjutsu; not to torture, not to destroy her. It was a different genjutsu, that Naomi had never experienced. She was seeing through his eyes - it all, whenever it was a lie, it was vivid and felt real. It... was real. And she could hear his voice in the back of her mind, explaining in detail what she was seeing. The struggle and suffering you are seeing, it's product of the Confederation's corruption. Of it's failed systems, of it's members extravagance and luxurious life. While he explained, she saw it all. Robbers risking their life for a loaf of bread, farmers struggling with what little they had... Then, acts of tyranny; overwhelming attacks from masses of Confederation shinobi against small rebel camps and not only that, they attacked shinobi and average folks alike, even farmers that were simply next to the rebel's camps, all were destroyed, nearly instantly. Some rebels rushed to defend themselves, but were quickly put down; there was a prominent figure that stood out in the Confederate's forces, someone Naomi knew. Then, darkness. Everything became dark. (You may close the rainymood now, if you were so kind to keep it open in order to increase immersion) When she woke up, she was in a crude basement of sorts. Crude, but functional. Many red-sage shinobi moved from a place to another, some carried wooden crates, others were simply chatting about. When she sat up, she was approached by the same figure as before: he looked far less intimidating. There was some movement, people stood up and moved away - soon, she was left alone with him. And then, the offer was made; to join them, or be set free. Strange, weren't they carnage-seeking devils? The man naturally explained their whole cause. In the end, after everything she had seen through the previous genjutsu, she couldn't refuse. Someone had to stop the Confederation. At first, it was difficult taking such an enormous step that changed completely her life - and the majority of the red sages distrusted her presence as a whole, being previously sided with the Confederation. But, on her first missions, minor or not, as a red sage, she showed that she had indeed placed her loyalty with them. After being showed the truth through such a brutal manner, it was difficult not to. As a side note, this is only the chapter which explains how Naomi switched sides. She's currently secretive about being a part of the Red Sages, nonetheless. 【Family ties】 Naomi's family was healthy until the death of her mother, which threw her father in an enraged state; he then became increasingly harder to deal with. The man took his own life when Naomi was seven, that changed her forever. Aika Uzumaki \| Mother \| 39, Konohagakure, deceased at the age of 26 Itama Uzumaki \| Father \| 42, Konohagakure, took his own life at the age of 30 【Dreams and fears】 Naomi dreams of one day overcoming her biggest fear, which is dying currently and she wants to find a way to stop feeling fear as a whole, knowing that such emotion is a result of cowardness. Note that overcoming death is not, well, dying. She just knows that clinging so much to her own life as a shinobi is rather embarassing. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 With an enhanced life-force and vast chakra resource, Naomi is certainly not above keeping a constant offensive on her foes, only falling defensive if she's overwhelmed or outnumbered. Her speed, agility, flexibility and reflexes are impressive. She has trained herself to have some great precision with her attacks, as well. From a medium distance, she's dangerous due to her shurikenjutsu prowess and in close-combat, she's a force to be reckoned with. Long distance, she falls short due to the drop in effectiveness of her shurikenjutsu. She also lacks effective defensive mechanisms, relying on dodging and avoiding being hit to keep herself safe. Her endurance is solid, as any Uzumaki - so is her stamina. In drawn out fights against opponents of the same level as her, she might have advantage due to taking much longer to get tired. Due to her chakra being vast, she's capable of utilizing the Shadow Clone technique, often gaining an advantage on single fights. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu B rank techniques: Kage Bunshin no Jutsu Kuchiyose: Raikō Kenka C rank techniques: Kuchiyose no Jutsu D-E rank techniques: Kaifū no Jutsu Kawarimi no Jutsu Shunshin no Jutsu 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Raiton: Kaminari Yoroi (Lightning Release: Thunder Armor) Rank: B Range: Self Description: Naomi covers her body is lightning chakra, using the lightning to stimulate the her nervous system. By speeding up her neural synapses, she's able to react faster, and to push physical prowess to the absolute limit, allowing for tremendous raw speed. This, combined with Naomi's natural agility and reflexes, turns her into a fearsome opponent while active; it also enhances her lightning release techniques, allowing her to perform nintaijutsu moves and react to things that she otherwise wouldn't be able to. The chakra usage is not as intense as it looks on Naomi, given her vast chakra resources, meaning that she can keep this technique up for long periods of time. Wind techniques can shut the technique down, even if temporarily. This techniques does not increase Naomi's raw strength, only her speed and reflexes. Jutsu name: Raiton: Keikai Denka (Lightning Release: Nimble Charge) Rank: C Range: Close Description: Lightning Chakra is focused on Naomi's arms and shoulders, she'll dash recklessly towards a foe with immense speed produced by the previously activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode and attempt to slam them with her shoulder. This attack is simple all in all, but it's effective given the speed Naomi travels from her current position to her foes' position. If it hits, the opponent takes both taijutsu damage and the electricity might shock them for extra, yet minor damage. It may also cause minor damage to Naomi's shoulder, too. Jutsu name: Raiton: Kaminari Shuriken (Lightning Release: Lightning Shuriken) Rank: C Range: Medium, long with less effectiveness Description: Naomi produces three handseals (boar, dragon, snake) before taking a number of shuriken onto her hands and channeling lightning chakra through them, after she throws they'll gain speed and piercing power, able to break through minor earth release defenses. If they hit someone, the opponent'll receive a much deeper wound than they would to an average shuriken, and electricity will shock their body internally, causing weaker shinobi to fall unconscious if they're hit by more than five or so. Stronger nin could easily resist this, though. Jutsu name: Raiton: Kiyomemasu (Lightning Release: Cleanse) Rank: E Range: Self Description: A simple technique that functions with the same intent as the use of Kai to liberate yourself from a genjutsu. The difference is that if Naomi notices herelf under a genjutsu, she can simply do a single handed seal, producing lightning chakra of her own that enters her body and, if need be, even travels to her brain's vessel network and eliminates any foreign chakra that is trapping her under a genjutsu. The difference between this and the average method of leaving genjutsu, is that this technique acts faster and only a single hand is needed, if she's paralysed or restrained. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Many, many shuriken. Weapon, tool or object type: Shuriken Description: They are shuriken, sealed and ready to use in a random basement. They're likely summoned when she touches her wrists, the end. Weapon, tool or object name: Some kunai. Weapon, tool or object type: A kunai. Description: Usually kept in the pouches she carries with herself. Useful kunai. Weapon, tool or object name: Explosive Tags Weapon, tool or object type: An explosive tag. Description: They're explosive tags, but she only carries a small number of them to avoid accidents. Kept in a pouch on her shoulder. Weapon, tool or object name: Wire strings Weapon, tool or object type: Wire. Strings. Description: Usually used in conjuction with shuriken for unpredictable effects.
51,128	1,381	35	2,400	2,978	Tetsuba Zaisette Harvest Festival - The Silver-and-mist-covered clusterfuck A pinching sensation clutched onto the back of Zay's eardrums as Tanji's senbon began their ringing. He lurched forwards as his ears began to ring, causing his fan to clumsily melt back into the pool beneath him, slowing the mist dispersal to a complete stop before it revealed the Uchiha and her opponent. It was hard to discern exactly where the sound was coming from, but it made it difficult to differentiate between the individuals in the pool he'd created. He still saw the Hyuga boy fighting with the mist ninja, or rather, 3 Hyuga boys battling it out against a full platoon of mist ninja! Augh! The ringing senbon were an utter nuisance! "Hey, name's Tatsuya-" The sudden comment startled Zay. He hadn't noticed Tatsuya's approach through the thickness of his silver pool. Thankfully, it helped him gain some bearing as the ringing of the senbon came to a pause. The shinobi was quick to figure out that the silver was Zay's doing, which should've been obvious to anyone who'd actually noticed the dispersal of mist a few seconds earlier. Zay nodded and composed himself, trying to get a feel for the position of everyone who stood in his pool. As Tatsuya further inquired, Zay was hardly paying much attention to what he'd been asked, focused on the Hyuga boy disengaging with his opponent and heading towards the other two shinobi on his left. As Tatsuya finished speaking, Zay shifted his eyes back towards him for a brief second, before pointing in the direction that the Hyuga had darted off in. Truthfully, the only things he'd heard from Tatsuya were 'where,' 'Hyuga,' and something about hazards. He was more concerned with where the Hyuga was headed, and by extension, which of the two shinobi he was going to attack. As Mikoto stepped in to attack, Higoho was finally in range to put a stop to the flamboyant jester's parade of irritable phrases. Thank god. Although it was hard to discern which of the two shinobi was spouting that nonsense from 13 yards away, Zay's patience for corrupt chivalry was wearing very thin. The Hyuga stepped in, and launched his palm forwards towards the chest of the furthermost shinobi. There he was. And not a moment too late. A moment after confirming his target, Zay shifted his hands up, and turned towards the three shinobi on his left. His chakra shot across the mirror pool in a surge, conjuring two ripples behind both of red sage's legs. Zay clenched his fists, and Two streams of silver zipped towards each of Mikoto's thigh's as the Hyuga attempted to connect with his chakra infused palm strike from the front. All the while, Zay felt Niro's presence leaving the range of his pool, and heading away from the mist entirely. The mist wouldn't stick around for much longer if Niro was leaving, which may have been a wonderful outcome for the confederate ninja nearby. Everyone except for Zay and Higoho, anyways.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 In a word? Lazy. His lack of dedication, and methodical lifestyle is simply a byproduct of his mental lethargy. Zay is capable- Far more capable than most would like to admit, but his motivation does not match his potential. When speaking on his terms, rested and free of responsibility, Zay's speech is refined, polite, and he is very attentive to detail. In most cases however, Zay does not consider himself very 'rested' and acts completely aloof, purposely insulting the intelligence of others, and showing minimal interest in serious discussion. His attitude often causes conflict between him and his peers, making his life even harder than he already thinks it is, and perpetually forcing himself into a downward spiral. That being said, Zay perceives life itself as less than noteworthy, quoted as claiming the human heartbeat to be 'The body's most monotonous chore' on more than one occasion. Questions regarding his history or opinions on the general status of the Shinobi world are often met with a ballad of anecdotal references, and depressing metaphors that tend to highlight the negative aspects of being alive. Due to his seemingly infinite disdain towards basically everything, most perceive Zay as an angst ridden peon who cares nothing of his friends, family, or own well being. However, nothing could be farther from the truth. Despite what his nihilistic charade would suggest, he's a particularly caring individual that places tremendous importance on not only his own well-being, but that of all living things, and more importantly, the freedom they are entitled to. There's nothing more important to him than the heart that keeps him standing, and by extension, the people that give it the courage to beat freely. However, Zay prioritizes himself over all others. He claims that he would never risk his life, even if it were for the safety of a loved one. Truth be told, his attitude keeps him from actually developing any strong relationships, and his known family has been dead for years. Still, he considers his allies precious, and will do everything he can to keep their hearts beating if it doesn't end up putting his own life at serious risk. One could infer that Zay purposely distances himself from others to avoid the responsibility that coincides with friendship and romance, but since he is awfully secretive about his personal affairs, nobody's really been able to pry a solid explanation from his stubborn brain-case. 【History】 Zay's life started off rich with love and wealth. Born in Iwagakure, he lived out his infant years in the care of his mother and father, both of whom had little to worry about, easily living off of the funds that Ikaette Tetsuba, Zay's mother, earned from her career as a Shinobi for Iwagakure. Sadly, as expected, his mother eventually found herself caught up in the conflict brewing between the nations, which ultimately put her family at risk. As one of the few breathing Shinobi capable of advanced, and more often than not, forbidden Jutsu familiar within the dwindling Tetsuba Clan, interest in her Copper Release's industrial capabilities grew, and her family would soon find their beloved wife and mother, missing indefinitely. Zay's father took it upon himself to contact Ikaette's sister, Tskia, asking her to take Zay far from Iwagakure, hoping that she would be able to keep him safe. News of his death quickly rose to attention not more than a month after Tskia's departure, and left the Tetsuba Clan with only two living members. Tskia rose Zay as her own, treating him as the son she'd never had, and teaching him the basis of his family's ninjutsu. Even so, Zay was one to question every minute detail behind the lessons he'd received. this often lead to questions regarding the Tetsuba Clan, and by extension, his parents. Of course, Tskia was never at liberty to reveal much to Zay, in fear he'd get himself involved in the wars that might've followed the last. Due to the secrecy that enveloped his training however, Zay didn't take to his aunt's lessons very kindly, and instead spent all of his time training himself in the art of silver Release with his aunt's wisdom as a very loose basis. When the conflict between nations ceased, Tskia was beyond relieved, quickly adopting the ideals of the Hamajō Confederation as they took to power, and bastardizing the red Sages for their naive outlook on the way society had 'evolved' so to speak. She tried her best to instill these beliefs on a young teenage Zaette, but unfortunately for her, he was not concerned with her thought process on the matter. Fortunately, that didn't mean he sympathized with the red sages, either. His neutrality would prove a trying obstacle for Tskia to deal with in the coming years, and it strained their relationship quite significantly. Tskia would become more and more loyal to the teachings of Hamajō, while Zay would become less and less concerned with the goings-on around him, or his aunt. On his 14th birthday, it became painfully evident that Zay would not play any major role in the fight between Hamajō and the Red sages. That's what his aunt would believe, and to this day, that hasn't changed. At the age of 17, around the time that Zay had achieved the rank of Chuunin, Tskia had fallen fatally ill, and was home-bound. Although it was difficult, Zay was forced to support both himself and his aunt on what little money he could earn through the few missions he was approved for. Ultimately, Tskia passed away, leaving Zay to fend for himself. On her death bed, Tskia told Zay of his parents and their fate, along with the history of their family. Although he didn't change the way he behaved, his aunt's death, and his family's history took a serious toll on his inner thoughts, and changed the way he looked at life, and death. Zay, without a mentor, continued to develop his silver release on his own. Zay now spends his time conducting missions as a registered shinobi. When he isn't on assignments, sleeping, or training his jutsu, Zay spends all of his time outside, walking outside city limits as much as he can. 【Family ties】 Zay has no living relatives to his own knowledge, but it's likely that some have survived to this day. Regardless, he doesn't care enough to look into the possibility. 【Dreams and fears】 "I dream of a world where everyone can lay their backs against softened grass, and gaze at clouds without fear of fire or fist" "Spiders are horrible, but they kill moths, and moths are a plague on my very sanity" Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Zay harnesses the power of his silver release almost exclusively. That is to say, he refuses to even acknowledge Taijutsu, Genjutsu, and most other ninjutsu as a viable option of combat. Zay is proficient at close-mid range combat, with limited long-range options. He focuses on a iron-hard defense to compensate for his lack of ranged options. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Silver Release Description: Silver release allows members of the Tetsuba Clan to mold fire and Earth chakra natures into a shimmering metallic liquid, hence the name 'silver release'. This substance can be used in a plethora of different ways using subsequent jutsu as long as the user's chakra remains infused inside of the liquid, but without proper concentration, it is impossible to do much more than move it along the ground at a snails pace. It is also impossible to control this liquid if it travels more than 15 yards away from the user. If any of this substance leaves the user's 15 yard radius, whether it is in solid or liquid form, will quickly dissolve into raw chakra. Users can also reabsorb this liquid to replenish their chakra pool with diminished returns. Due to these limitations, silver release users are not very mobile, and instead rely on the agility and durability of their jutsu. In use, the silver liquid acts as a base for several techniques. The most common application is consuming opponents in range and smothering them to death. It can however be hardened to create temporary weapons, large scale attacks, barriers, armor, and various mechanisms relative to the user's knowledge of the technology they are trying to mimic. More advanced users of Silver release can sense the presence of other living things within their pool as long as they are connected by a constant stream of chakra, coat their entire body in an armor that removes their sense of sight and hearing but makes them nearly impervious to physical assaults, temporarily patch wounds by fusing the liquid with their skin, heat the liquid to boiling temperatures, and in very rare cases, transfer their body instantaneously from one section of their puddle to another with a delayed reemergence. It's rumored that certain Tetsuba could create golden, Copper, and even mercury based liquid metals, but nothing has been confirmed, and their lineage runs so thin that it's difficult to confirm or deny such rumors. Members of the Tetsuba Family are known to have very pale skin, reflective white hair, and silver blood. These effects appear to be purely cosmetic and otherwise have no effect on their biology whatsoever. Tetsuba Shinobi Strengths: Ray's mastery of Silver release is exceptional, and it wouldn't come as a surprise considering he does not practice any ninjutsu that would not coincide with his Kekkei Genkai. At his current mastery, Zay can keep a constant pool of Silver going at the full 15 yards from his body for a considerable amount of time before it begins to strain his Chakra reserves. His mid-close range combat is unmatched in many scenarios, disallowing easy movement within his radius without immediate danger. His liquid can nullify most wind natured ninjutsu, protect against some earth/water/fire natured ninjutsu, and offer substantial protection from most forms of attacks when hardened en-masse. Zay's agility with his silver allows him to cast jutsu in quick succession, giving the liquid considerable agility when he is focused. Weaknesses: Without a ready supply of silver, Ray is practically defenseless, only able to conjure weapons and small short-range projectile type jutsu quickly enough to defend himself. Even with a pool at the ready, Zay is incapable of firing ranged attacks outside of his range effectively. His mobility with the pool is also very slow, and he cannot travel long distances without being encumbered by his jutsu. While channeling a substantial pool of silver, Ray requires immense concentration, disallowing him to move his body too quickly at risk of his entire jutsu falling apart momentarily. If he is forced to dodge, or struck by anything that would interrupt his concentration, any hardened liquid could instantaneously melt back down into liquid form, and any silver under his control will fall back into his pool, including any weapons or armor he's equipped himself with. Additionally, his silver is highly-conductive, allowing lightning-natured jutsu to travel effortlessly along the entire expanse of the pool as long as it is connected, or close enough to allow a current to travel throughout. Certain Lightning-natured Jutsu can also pierce through any solidified silver effortlessly, and even destroy portions of his liquid. Conjuring the liquid, albeit quick, also requires an initial Chakra dump that nearly drains Zay of half his energy. Additionally, Zay can only sustain a pool for about 10 minutes before he runs out of energy, assuming he rations his chakra sparingly. 【Ninja techniques】【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Silver Release: Forge Rank: D Range: Short-Medium Description: Creates a weapon or device based on the user's knowledge and skill either somewhere in a mirror pool nearby, or in the user's hand using newly created liquid silver. The weapon's strength is on par with average steel, and resonate with Chakra very well. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Constellation Rank: D Range: Medium Description: Fires an array of tiny silver balls from either the user's mouth, or from any point in his mirror pool, with a width of about 15 feet. These have the potential to break skin and heavily bruise upon impact, but are not usually deadly. Can travel up to 25 Yards away from the user despite his limitation, but once leaving the 15 yard radius, they decrease in power to a point of absolute worthlessness. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Mirror Pool Rank: C Range: Short-Medium Description: The basis of Zay's Jutsu. Creates a reflective pool as the user's feet that spread out quickly. Can be channeled to extend the range of the pool, or to absorb the chakra infused in the liquid with diminished returns. This liquid can be controlled with the user's Chakra while it exists. The user can sense anyone touching the Silver if they are within his radius, and 'feel' their chakra network. All attacks within range, liquid or solid, are considered part of the Mirror pool. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Boiling Flow Rank: C Range: Short Description: The user instantly heats up a section of liquid silver for a few seconds. Effect persists if the liquid is solidified, allowing for heated jutsu followups. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Tempid Mail Rank: C Range: N/A Description: Covers the user's skin in a thin layer of liquid silver that can be hardened at will with other Jutsu types. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Solid Wall Rank: C Range: Short-Medium Description: Raises a wall at any point in the mirror pool to intercept an attack. Fast, but not effective as an offensive option. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Solid Mail Rank: B Range: N/A Description: Covers the user in a thick layer of hardened steel. Blocks nearly all forms of attack, but blocks out the user's sense of Smell, Sight, And Hearing. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Tepid Flow Rank: B Range: Short-Medium Description: Slices forth with a blade of liquid silver from any point within the user's radius, with enough force to sever limbs. Cannot break through guards, but will not be stopped unless blocked in its entirety; Due to its liquid nature, it will simply phase around swords and small shields. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Solid Flow Rank: B Range: Short-Medium Description: Launches a solid spike from any point in the user's mirror pool. The thicker the spike, the stronger, and slower, the strike. Often used in quick succession to create multiple spikes at once. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Tether Rank: A Range: Long Description: The user coats his hand in a rubbery silver, with a higher concentration of chakra, and extends it into a amorphous whip, which they can then fling around for about a minute before it loses form. While active, this tether acts as an extension of the user's chakra network, allowing it to exist outside the normal range of the user's pool, and increasing their pool's range to be 15 yards from wherever the tether reaches. This tether can also latch onto targets, including shinobi, but cannot be detached from the user unless they cancel the jutsu. Requires a large amount of chakra to form. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Zay carries no Ninja weaponry, and prefers to create his own.
51,129	1,381	36	925	1,132	Mikoto, Red Sages, Currently Trying To Save His Ass For once, Mikoto just HAD to admit he was about to be beaten. For the love of everything that is beautiful, there were, like, 4 ninjas trying to get rid of him. More could be hidden too. "My, aren't I the popular one today." He said with a small smile in his lips. The naginata, senbons, and even the streams of silver were dangerously near now. He could've handled all of them if he had his ever reliable support from Kanata, but alone... even he had to admit he was overpowered. "You win..." He sighed as all of the weapons or similars thrown at him hit their mark. Mikoto then disappeared with a poof, leaving only a log stabbed by the senbon and the naginata, and appeared already several meters away from his opponents. He was still near enough so that they would hear him, though. "I concede this time. Victory is yours. My mission was more or less to win time anyway. I did just so and kept you away from the real problem. I hope we will encounter again, Hyuuga, Uchiha girl. Next time, I'll bring a friend of my own and we can have some real fun. Until then, darlings!" Mikoto mused and then jumped away. If they wanted to come after him that was fine by him. For now, he'd go look for Kanata. "Onii-chan worries about you and your flatchest, dear sister. Also, I need to turn the tables on these guys AND get thi ringing out of my ears.", Mikoto thought to himself, before bringing his hands together and, "Kai!" Kanata always had a knack for getting in trouble, so he should probably start by looking where Lady Tametomo was. She could also (not) use his help. Regardless, he should also kill any other generic confederate shinobi that got in his way. No matter how many of them came, Mikoto was confident he could take them all as long as they had forgettable faces. @Goddamn there's so many of ya Blunt Front Kanata, Undecided, Some building or other? The girl with blue hair was scared out of her mind, or so was the impression she left in Kanata. Understandable, yeah. "Don't worry, I can hide in the mist and be right back with your friend. You just get the hell outta here before that guy decides he wants to kill our asses." She heard someone throwing something into the inside of her mist. When she turned to her side, she saw a mask resting by her feet. Had the guy from before thrown it all the way here? Why? Was it useless now? Regardless, Kanata was quick to crouch down and take it, before putting it away on one of the many pockets she had to store kunais. It could come in handy, even more so if it was something from a Red Sage. She could pretend she was one of them without them knowing who she really is. She'd get away from the Red Sages AND keep the confederation off her ass. After that, she was about to cast her Hidding in Mist technique again to go get the girl's friend when someone took a hold of her shoulder. It was a fierce grip and it sent a chill down her spine just as the hand made contact with her discovered shoulder. She turned to the... thing, that appeared beside the two of them It seemed to be a cat and looked... slightly feminine, but it didn't seem human, what with the claws digging into her skin and whatnot. "Tell me something I don't know, will you? I don't care how much of a pussy I seem, I'm saving my ass no matter what. And I'm planning on getting as much people outta here with me as I can. There's no need for them to die senselessly in here." Kanata answered it with a knowing and unamused look in her face. And then the thing said something he shouldn't have. "Small boobs?" Kanata turned her gaze to the ground. "I swear to God that if you didn't look and feel so fucking strong and intimidating I'd shove something up your cheeky throat right about now. In any case, if you plan on helping, then be my guest. I can also lift the mist for you, only if you promise to cover our asses as we make our escape from here." It was offering them, the three of them (she still had to go look for the other girl), a way out of this hellhole. Hell, she'd kiss it if he asked for it to get their asses out. "And for an speech? Well, who the hell needs one? You should just kill everyone and show them your overwhelming power. That way, I'm sure several will shit their pants." Kanata knew when a person was more powerful than her. It had saved her ass multiple times before. When Yakoul let go of her shoulder, she knew that he was overwhelmingly more powerful than her. Even the combination of Mikoto and herself wouldn't be enough to stop a thing like this. "Dispel." She said after bringing her hands together and slowly making the mist disappear. "Now, go give 'em hell while we escape." Kanata nodded and then waited for Yakoul to clean up the building so she could go get Mirai's friend. Of course, she just hopped that Mirai was okay with her just agreeing to accept the cat-thing's help.	I want a cool name for where I keep my characters too “Who might that handsome guy in the mirror be? Ah, it's just me.” Meet Amatsurahashi Mikoto. A young man standing at 1.79 meters who probably spends more time looking at himself in the mirror than actually fighting. His long red hair made into a ponytail is probably the one with the best care in the whole army, even among the women. His fair skin has so many layers of creams and other chemicals that some men think he'll explode if there's some fire near him. His blue eyes have never been seen in another state than their almost always perfect one in which Mikoto keeps them. There are some rumors going around that say his eyes can't actually be that pretty alone, saying that they MUST be using contact lenses. He is so picky with his food and training menu to keep his slim, yet strong build, that many come to take his advice on how to take better care of their own physique. Amatsurahashi Mikoto, the man who spends a lot of time trimming himself and is actually not gay. That is the man standing before you. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Amatsurahashi Mikoto 【Alias】 That one not-gay guy that seems gay AKA Metrosexual. 【Affiliation】 Red Sages. 【Age】 20 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Heterosexual. Might be willing to change in the future. 【Birthplace】 Kirigakure. The Village Hidden In The Mist. 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Have you ever met that one person that just seems to sing everything when he talks? That's the kind of person Mikoto is. A lot of people think he is annoying, but he just shows no signs of changing. Ever since he was a child he's had one rule with which he lives by. To never change himself even if others want to change him. Always remain true to the desires of his heart. He is that kind of whimsical guy. He loves art, music and just about anything that expresses the true desires of the heart. He spends a great deal of time in unnecessary and excessive grooming. He also seems to vastly prefer the company of men rather than the company of woman. These are just some of the reason as to why a lot of people think Mikoto is actually homosexual. Mikoto is only really picky when it comes to women, not to mention that he isn't popular with woman either because of how effeminate he seems at times. Several of his close friends actually know this, and still like to tease him about that. Having sparked several misunderstandings, Mikoto has made an habit of introducing himself with his sexuality in his introduction line. Despite his love for his beauty, Mikoto is neither an stranger to fight nor is he scared of them. He is not a ninja just for show. Mikoto's will to fight is just as much, if not even more, than other ninjas. He will never run away, nor will he ever admit he is outpowered. That's why he believes it is wrong for shinobi's to only be after money and not to follow their heart's desires. He does, however, protect his face a lot more than any other shinobi does. His reason to be one of the Red Sages is simple; "Doesn't freedom sound like a beautiful concept to you? I'd very much like to see what true freedom is like." 【History】 What can you expect from Mikoto's story? Yes, he was bullied as a kid. Yes, he was beaten up a lot as a kid. No, he was not mentally scarred or traumatised by this. Mikoto actually fought back. He's never been afraid of getting his hands dirty. Though he's always been a dilligent student, more than once has he been scolded by his teachers because of how many fights he got himself into. During elementary school, he had to fight his way through bullies and smart-asses who thought he was nothing more than a sissy. It wasn't until he started going to junior high school that he discovered a better way to deal with bullies instead of fighting them. Completely ignoring them. Why, there's nothing more infuriating than the sissy you are trying to piss off completely ignores your very existance. It ended up either with the guys giving up and moving on to their next victim or them trying to beat up Mikoto, which ended up badly for them. Again. By the time he entered high school, Mikoto had created a reputation for himself. Never again did he have to deal with idiots trying to piss him off. Sadly, it was... boring. Extremely so. How could he ever relieve this boredom? Already studying to be a ninja and a Chuunin, and the Hamajo Confederation didn't seem eager to start a war any time soon. Then, what could little old Mikoto do to relieve his thirst for fighting? The Red Sages was the only thing that came to his mind. 【Family ties】 The Amatsurahashi family. Harsh in their ninja training, lax in their concept of what a man should be. Why you ask? Mikoto's father died when he was 4 on the way to the hospital when Mikoto's sister was about to be born. So, Mikoto had to quickly grow up and become the man of the house and so, he had no time to have his lunch handed over to him by some guys who taught were better than him. Not to mention he had an example to set for his sister. Amatsurahashi Haruka \| Mother \| 42, Kirigakure, Reitred Shinobi Amatsurahashi Kanata \| Sister \| 16, Kirigakure, Shinobi, Chuunin 【Dreams and fears】 His dream is to see actual freedom. To be able to see what it truly means for a shinobi to be able to be free. He'd also like to learn how to play an instrument, ANY instrument. His deepest and darkest fear is for all that is beautiful to him, including his family, to be taken away from him all at once. To leave him at the mercy of a world where nothing can no longer make him feel alive. Basically, being alive but dead inside is his biggest fear. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Many describe Mikoto's fighting style as refined and entracing. They say it is like watching him dance instead of fighting. Still, Mikoto's taijutsu is deadly and precise. There is no wasted effort, no wasted moves. Everything is made to be a beautifully perfect fighting style for Mikoto. Rhythm and tempo are the bases for his taijutsu style. He always tries to imitate a song playing inside his head as he fights, trying to match the timings of his strikes and the timing to avoid and counter-attack. Thanks to his being knowledgeable about several types of music, it is easy for him to change gears in the blink of an eye. He tends to use bojutsu, a fighting style through the use of a staff, when he thinks taijutsu is no longer enough to defeat someone. He usually combines bojutsu with ninjutsu to make an even more lethal style. He is more of a physical fighter rather than using ninjutsu and genjutsu. His ninjutsu acts more as a support for his fighting style and he tries to avoid using genjutsu, mainly because it isn't his best subject. His ninjutsu focuses on the use of water as a high speed waterjet to cut through things. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Doesn't have one. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Water Release: High Speed Jet B rank techniques: Water Release: Water Beast Water Release: Hiding in Water Technique C rank techniques: Water Release: Water Gun Water Release: Water Whip Water Clone Technique D-E rank techniques: All basic Academy E ones. 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Water Release: High Speed Jet Rank: A Range: Short Range, can only be use in hand-to-hand combat. Description: The user releases a high speed stream of water from their finger tips and envelops both of their hands in a water jet that can cut through just about anything. This technique, however, is as harmful to the user as it is to their opponent, and can only be used once in a fight to avoid further damage to their hands and/or weapons. Depending of the Chakra output of the user, this move becomes more powerful and becomes able to cut through harder materials. How much the chakra is being used also determines how long this jutsu can last. At minimum output, the Jutsu can cut through wood easily and can last about an hour (6 posts) without damaging the user's skin. In a weapon, it can last for a complete hour (6 posts) before it starts eating away at the materials of the weapon. At medium output, the jutsu can cut through bone, rock and even iron. The user can mantain it for 15 (3 posts) minutes without major damage to their hands. In a weapon, it can last for 30 minutes (4 posts). At maximum output, the jutsu can cut through just about any kind of metal standing in its way, though it won't be able to cut through chakra enhanced weapons, diamonds or crystal release jutsus. In the user's hands, it can only last for a minute (1 post) before there is major damage and in a weapon it can last for 5 minutes (2 posts) before it destroys the weapon completely. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon Name: Sonatta Weapon, tool or object type: Staff Description: A large white and black staff that is about the same height as Mikoto himself. It is made out of wood and has two metal plates at both of its ends, so it can withstand Mikoto's High Speed Jet Jutsu. “Yeah, I am that guy's sister. No, I won't get you a date with him. Why? Because he doesn't freakin' like dudes!” Standing at a not even surprising 1.64 meters and a rather slim and flimsy frame, it is Amatsurahashi Kanata. Like her brother, she has fiery red hair and blue eyes, but neither of them are as well cared for as his. In fact, her brother likes to point out the split ends her hair might have. Her hair is long and usually kept in a pair of twintails that reach her waist. Her blue eyes are big and have been called cute several times, by relatives and her mother, mainly. Her fair skin does have some cream put into it but not the ungodly amounts her brother uses. Like other men, she fears she might catch fire if she imitates her brother. Her frame is slim but well trained, as expected of any shinobi. The problem lies in her chest, something she has a strong complex about and what often makes others confuse her for a boy (given how her brother is). A teenager who'd like to put as much attention on her appearance as her homo brother, Amatsurahashi Kanata. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Amatsurahashi Kanata 【Alias】 Little Sister 【Affiliation】 Undecided 【Age】 16 【Sex】 Female 【Sexuality】 Straight 【Birthplace】 Kirigakure 【Bloodline】 Amatsurahashi 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Unlike her brother who has 'shit for brains', Kanata is a lot more normal than her egocentric and metrosexual brother, if a lot more tomboyish than your regular kunoichi. But let's be honest here, what screams femininity more than a girl in a tight suit jumping around and throwing sharp things at others? Foul-mouthed by nature, full of hormones thanks to her age and Kanata's short fuse make her an adorable pack of emotions, insults, bad words and sarcasm all in one. She's known for not holding anything back, and this has gotten her in a lot more of problems than she's ever wanted to have. Her tongue moves faster than her brain can catch up, hurling insults at people she shouldn't piss off. She depends a lot on her brother Mikoto to get her out of such situations. An idiot by birth not by choice, Kanata has found herself in more than one tight spot both in school and in the streets. She often comments on how life wouldn't be as exciting if she didn't get in as much problems as she does, though. Add to all of this the fact that she has several complexes about her body and life and it just makes her the perfect adolescent with attitude problems. She just needs to run away and the pack should be complete. Among her several complexes, she's got a complex about her chest and an inferiority complex towards her brother. Don't try to mention her height or call her a boy either. Overall, Kanata is a short-tempered idiot with a big mouth AND some ability as a ninja. At least she knows how to fight AND when she should just run for it instead of fighting. "Live to fight another day. Those idiots will never catch me anyway, not with mighty homo Mikoto watching my back." 【History】 Unlike her brother, Kanata was largely ignored in her school years, all the way from elementary school it was just a big whole of... nothing. Have you ever seen your graduation photo and noticed a guy that is there but you never actually saw? If not, that's what several people thought after getting their graduation photo and finally noticing Kanata. Everyone expected big things from Amatsurahashi Mikoto's sister, only to be let down by the extremely pragmatic and sarcastic Kanata. Her existence mostly went unnoticed until she finally became a Chuunin. Pairing up with her brother and going out in missions made them a deadly combo. Finally, people started noticing Kanata and she wasn't sure of whether this was a good or bad thing. Well, she never really did have a lack of friends, she just was in that small group that mostly went unnoticed by others. Later she determined that it was bad. Real bad. They all came to her with words like 'Oh, did Mikoto have a sister? Never knew.' or 'Wow, to think you could actually do something!'. What came after those comments was most definitely not pretty. Having gained a bad reputation this time around, people started to actually avoid her. Well, her fame was short lived, and it was good that it was. 【Family ties】 Kanata's father died before she was born, so she only has her older brother and mother to rely on. While she is fond of and loves the two of them, she does find them, Mikoto specially, annoying. Amatsurahashi Haruka \| Mother \| 42, Kirigakure, Retired Shinobi Amatsurahashi Mikoto \| Brother \| 20, Kirigakure, Shinobi, Part of the Red Sages, "Full time homo" 【Dreams and fears】 She dreams of one day surpassing her ever so perfect and beautiful brother, or at the very least shake off the feeling of inferiority she feels towards him. Her biggest fear is not being able to go to the next One Direction concert living in the shadow of her brother. Also to be noted, she is scared witless of Mikoto's imminent death if he keeps doing dangerous things. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Never to shine herself but to give others the opportunity to shine, Kanata's fighting style is a purely supportive one. She can indeed defend herself in hand to hand combat, yes, but her true talent comes out when she is fighting alongside someone else. Her specialty are ninjutsu and genjutsu used to support a more aggressive battle style like her brother's. She intends to stall, hinder and trip her opponents at every step they give. Even if they are about to hit their mark, she'll make sure that what they hit is nothing more but an illusion she's made. Cunning and brains, not muscles and... more muscles, are what make her a formidable fighter. She uses water release, but unlike her brother, she uses mist and barriers to hinder her opponents. Her taijutsu is the weakest part of her fighting style as a whole. She can easily be overpowered by any opponent with more experience in hand to hand combat or otherwise. Her taijutsu is focused on the use of her legs, since her arms are more like sticks. She uses a combination of muay thai and tae kwon do to keep opponents at bay while she uses her hands to prepare her next jutsu. Kanata also tends to use submission holds against opponents bigger than her, in order to keep them from moving and to give herself more time to cast her next jutsu. Thanks to her being bad at taijutsu, she carries even more kunais than the average shinobi. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Thank God I don't need to fill this longass form 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Water Release: Water Heavens Convergence B rank techniques: Water Release: Water Formation Pillar Water Release: Water Beast Illysionary Mist C rank techniques: Water Prison Technique Water Release: Water Gun Water Clone Technique Water Release: Enveloping Mist D-E rank techniques: Hidden In Mist Technique 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Water Release: Enveloping Mist Rank: C Range: Large, it covers an area of 30 meters around the user. Description: The user, Kanata, releases mist from the tip of her fingers that envelops a wide are around her. It does nothing more, nothing less. Once the mist is out of Kanata, it does not take any chakra for her to mantain it. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Kunais. Lots and lots of them. Weapon, tool or object type: Throwing Kunai Description: Simple kunais in ungodly quantities. Makes you wonder where the hell is she hiding so many of them. “Calm yourself. I mean you no harm. ... Your heartbeat is starting to calm down. Good.” An intimidating man standing at 1.80 meters and a man of nerves made out of steel, Kisaragi Anzai. He's got short and spiky black hair falling right over his face. He uses a headband at the top of his forehead to not let it rub against his face, since he is pretty sensitive. Anzai's skin is dark brown, making for a perfect example of the trademark Kumogakure ethnicity. He's got gray eyes, but he always keeps his eyes shut. Unlike many cliché anime characters, Anzai actually keeps his own eyes shut because he is blind. His physique is quite buff and muscular, something that affects his diet quite a lot since he needs to eat a lot more than your regular shinobi. Despite his physique and Kekkei Genkai, Anzai keeps always keeps a cane by his side. The Blind Assassin, Kisaragi Anzai. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Kisaragi Anzai 【Alias】 The Blind Assassin, Anzu 【Affiliation】 Red Sages 【Age】 25 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Asexual/Bi-romantic (think I saw someone use the word hetero-romantic somewhere, so I'm borrowing the idea) 【Birthplace】 Kumogakure 【Bloodline】 Kisaragi 【Rank】 Jounin -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Calm and stoic are the words that best define Anzai. He's lived his life having to take calm and well-thought steps due to his blindness. It gives you more time to think, in a way. Everything he does is well-thought and meditated, even his jokes, which tend to be overlooked because of his monotone tone of voice. Because of his legendary calmness and his habit of meditation, many often believe that Anzai is, in fact, sleeping. He has fallen asleep while meditating if we are being completely honest, but it is a rare occurrence indeed. Once, someone stepped over him while sleeping. Anzai is really prideful, despite his usual cool demeanor. Offering to help him go down the stairs or other friendly offers for help upset him greatly and, despite not losing his cool demeanor, you'll find yourself threatened by that same calm nature. In a nutshell, feeling pity for him can really work against you. "Even as I am blind, I can see far more than you." His mannerisms and calmness often lead others to believe that he is expressionless, or worse, emotionless. This is most certainly not true, but Anzai does manage to keep his emotions in check most of the time. This is because he understands and accepts all of his emotions, which has also made him able to tell a person's mood through the tone of their voice or what they are feeling through the beat of their heart. These two abilities, though, are rendered useless in battle as he cannot focus his hearing solely in his opponent, otherwise he'd feel he's leaving himself open. As with everything else, Anzai tends to keep calm and stoic even in the most heated of situations, making him both an intimidating and terrifying foe. 【History】 The long line of Katsuragi shinobi felt that its long tradition of warriors had come to an end when they discovered that Anzai, next in line to become the head of the small clan, was born blind. Not having sight, an almost indispensable tool in the trade of being a ninja. They thought all was lost were it not for what they noticed later. The boy could indeed see and his 'sight' could reach even further than their own. The Kekkei Genkai of the Kisaragi allows them to feel electric currents, but only when thrown in a jutsu, making it a highly defensive type of Kekkei Genkai that could only protect them against an specific type of jutsu. Anzai's blindness took it a step further. Anzai could actually sense the small electrical charges carried by electrons, and that permitted him to make an image inside of his head of what things would look like if he could see, and what made it better was the fact that his 'vision' covered a whole 360 around him. It was blurry at first, of course. Untrained and instinctive, the Kisaragi could not pass up on such an opportunity. Regardless of his shortcomings when he first started training, the Kisaragi finally were able to make an specially deadly and stoic shinobi out of Anzai, who could now see clearly after refining the use fo his Kekkei Genkai. Once he got clearance to become a Jounin, however, what followed were years full of frustration. Everyone looked down on him because of his blidness. They wouldn't allow him to participate in missions, and he would remain mediocre because the Confederation frowned upon physical demonstrations of power, at least between their own armies. The last straw was when his commander called him weak, and that he couldn't kill him even if he were sleeping. Making a live demonstration, Anzai went to the Red Sages dragging his commander's body by the neck. The commander was known to be a powerful but arrogant commander that had been hindering several of the operations of the Red Sages. He hoped that such a demonstration would be enough for the Red Sages to acknowledge his potential. Thankfully for them, they did. 【Family ties】 Anzai's family is filled with strong warriors, warriors that would risk their lives at the beck and call of their masters. So was the case with both of Anzai's parents, who died while he was still training. His only remaining (close) family is his grandfather. Kisaragi Youtsugi \| Grandfather \| 81, Kumogakure, Old fart too proud to retire from being a shinobi. 【Dreams and fears】 Anzai dreams of making his a powerful clan, one rivaling the Uchiha or the Hyuuga. Despite not seeing (pun intended) the allure of the intercourse, Anzai does wish to have an heir who inherits both his powerful Kekkei Genkai and blindness, horrible as it may sound. He thinks of himself as the next step towards greatness for his clan. An improvement over those before him and the true potential of their Kekkei Genkai. His biggest fear, though odd but logical considering his personality, is to be able to see with his eyes. He feels he'll lose his powerful KG if he sudeenly becomes able to see. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 A dojutsu without eyes. So many have described Anzai's battle style. His genjutsu skills are non-existant, perhaps because he cannot see in the traditional way, but his lack of skill in genjutsu is compensated by his skill in ninjutsu and kenjutsu. He keeps his sword concealed inside the cane he always carries with himself. His fighting style is one that prioritizes domination over the battlefield. If people ambush him, then he'll keep everyone at a safe distance through the use of his ninjutsu, and then engage each of them with his sword and finish them quickly. He's been called the Blind Assassin because he always aims to end his fights quickly, before his opponent can catch up on the several weaknesses of his Kekkei Genkai. If he is overwhelmed or has spent too much in a fight, he tends to retire as quick as possible and fight another day, despite his prideful personality. He is dead set on not letting anyone know of the weaknesses of his abilities, and will surely kill anyone who catches on on them. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Denkaku (電覚) Description: The Kisaragi KG allows the clansmen to sense strong currents of electricity, like those produced from a Lightning Release ninjutsu. Anzai's lack of sight, however, makes this ability extremely powerful, and allows him to sense even the small electrons that are around almost every atom, which allows him to make complete 360 images in a range of 10 meters around him. The KG also allows the Kisaragi to use an special type of ninjutsu because of the constant electric wave that surrounds them. Anzai's is neither stronger nor weaker than those before him. Strengths: Allows Anzai to make 360 images of the terrain he is in. Can dodge Lightning release ninjutsu easily thanks to being able to detect them from wherever they are coming. Due to the excited atoms of a hot body, Anzai can also sense Fire Release rather clearly and can sense even more clearly any individual with a high body temperature. Anzai can become a walking stungun by amplifying the electric wave going around him. If extremely concentrated and in only one individual, Anzai can predict their next attacks by seeing the electricity running through their muscles as they move. This, however, makes him blind to any other thing happening in his surroundings. Weaknesses: Being hit by Wind Release, the usual weakness of Lightning release, can either make his vision blurry or blind him completely, if the jutsu is strong enough(B jutsus and stronger). He cannot sense Ice Release or any body at Absolute Zero temperature. (Not necessarily a shinobi, could also be metal). Due to the lack of electrons in their atoms, Anzai can't sense gases either. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Lightning Release: Depht Charge Lightning Release: Walking Stungun B rank techniques: Lightning Release: False Darkness Lightning Release: Lightning Trap C rank techniques: Lightning Release Wall Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder D-E rank techniques: None worth mentioning. 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Lightning Release: Walking Stungun Rank: A Range: Short Range Description: Using Lightning Release, Anzai supercharges his nervous system after amplifying the natural electric wave surrounding his body and reversing it inside, but unlike A's Lightning Chakra mode, Anzai does not enhance his physical capabilities. The electricity surrounding Anzai also becomes visible to any of his enemies as small lightning courses his arms, chest and legs. Touching Anzai while doing this will result in an extremely painful and stunning electric shock, that renders taijutsu useless against him. While this does not actually hurt Anzai, it does leave him paralyzed for a long while afterwards, so he does not use it that often. The longest he can keep this technique activated is for 5 posts. Anzai theorizes that if his whole body was sedated and his mind wasn't, he could use this technique to move. He hasn't had the opportunity to prove this theory, though, and the fact that he still needs to make the hand seals makes it... kind of pointless. Jutsu name: Lightning Blade: Heaven Piercing Lunge Rank: S Range: Short to Mid Range Description: Anzai thrusts his weapon forward and, much like like the Chidori Katana of Sasuke, creates a highly condensated flow of Lightning release chakra with a range of 10 meters. Though it does not chirp loudly like the Chidori Katana, there is indeed a low, cracking sound that warns of its arrival, not to mention that when it hits, it makes the same sound as a thunder striking the ground as all of the compacted energy dissipates after hitting its target. It is compact and quite small, and its range falls short to other jutsu, but it is a jutsu that can pierce through mostly anything, unless faced with a weapon with flowing Lightning Release chakra or Air Release chakra. Thanks to Anzai's detection and skill, he can make the attack change its course as he wants, though not as many times as he'd like. After moving it three times, the jutsu disappears. Though extremely lethal as it can pierce easily through someone's head or ribcage in an attempt to kill Anzai's enemies, it really depends a lot of where it hits. Jutsu name: Lightning Release: Lightning Spread Rank: C Range: Long Range Description: A variation of the Electromagnetic Murder jutsu. Putting both of his hands on the ground, Anzai releases lightning in a range of 20 meters to keep his opponents away. Jutsu name: Lightning Release Wall Rank: C Range: Short to Mid Range Description: Using Lightning Release, Anzai erects (( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)) a wall with a maximum range of 10 meters, that can be extended to 20 if he places seals to help him keep it up. The wall is made up of violent electric bolts, making it harmful for anyone trying to get past it, whether they want to enter it or exit it. It doesn't seem to affect Lightning Release users as much, though. The only way to dispel it is to either defeat Anzai or, if it is being used at mid range, to take off the seals previously placed by Anzai. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Silent Death Weapon, tool or object type: Sword Cane Description: A sword hidden inside a cane that would otherwise be used to aid his walking.

51,130	1,381	37	1,306	383	Setsuko Most Mundane Character You Will Ever Meet Konohagakure Border The Hamajo Confederation “Talk about a turn of events.” Setsuko murmured to herself as she took the last bite of her rice ball. Unlike the usual day where she would spend weapon shopping, and then practicing today was the day a festival would be taking place, so of course she would skip her usual routine to be able to attend. The festival wasn't much newer than the last year, but it was nonetheless entertaining due to the fact that many different foods were made for the special occasion. Before the raid took place she was enjoying a simple “catch a water balloon with only a paper clip, and a damp piece of paper that tears way too easily”. She had failed the first two attempts, and was working on her third when the alarms went off. She was as confused as the other civilians, but knew that they wouldn’t sound those alarms unless it was on a day when they’d usually check them for functioning purposes. With that she did what she could to get people to run the opposite way of the wall since that’s the only possible spot an attack would take place. As she ran with some of the people who didn't want to wait around to see what was going to happen she would stop by her apartment to grab the necessary equipment, and make her way from the balcony to the rooftop of the complex. That’s how she ended up standing at the top of a complex looking over parts of Konohagakure where fights were taking place. She also couldn’t resist grabbing a rice ball on her way out since she hadn’t made her way through the festival to be able to buy some food. Usually the food stands were closer to the middle of the festival, so she was upset that the raid had decided to attack when they did. As she stood there a Jounin clone had ran up the side of the complex to meet with her, and would tell her that she was to assist any shinobi on the battlefield due to the fact that the battle needed to be finished quickly, and any more time they waste trying to finish off one opponent the less shinobi they'd have on hand to deal with the real problem. "Understood?" "Hai." she said in a low tone while nodding. After the order was given the clone went -poof- I wonder what the real problem is- Wait, did I lock my door? Suddenly, out of nowhere (not out of nowhere; from the ground, but of course she's kind of dumb), a Kunai was thrown at her from below. Because she was late in noticing Setsuko had tried to dodge the weapon by taking a step to her right, and without noticing the damage it had done Setsuko cursed under her breath at the fact that she had forgotten people could still see her from this high up. Right after the attack she sprinted to the opposite side of the rooftop where she would then jump to the nearest rooftop. The roof was weak, so instead of landing on it she had fallen through only to be met with concrete flooring. It had taken some seconds to be able to get a grip on what had happened, and by then the ninja who had tried to attack luckily didn’t make the decision to follow. Setsuko slowly stood up so as not to get dizzy, and began to clean the small chunks of debris off of her. Of course, she didn’t have time to stand here, and properly clean herself off, so without checking the place she had fallen into Setsuko ran out the door. Outside there were civilians running for their lives, and shinobi running every which way to either protect the citizens or get their hands on the enemy. Dammit, where do I even start? It was bad enough that she had been overthrown from a spot that would’ve been helpful, and now after touching her cheek because something warm was trailing down it she had lost a fight. Both annoyed her, so instead of going back up the same rooftop she was on Setsuko decided to begin running opposite of the crowd to see if she could be helpful to someone. It was ridiculous how many times she had run into people, people bumping into her, or someone had thought she was a Red Sage despite the fact that she had a headband on her head. At least now she knew who was attacking, and what she was going up against as she continued to make her way towards the fighting that was visible even on the ground. I know I have orders, but I'm technically following them by helping those on the front lines. Along with that she would help the injured until she was able to get a hold of a medical ninja, or get them in the care of another citizen who could take them to the hospital. Occasionally she’d bump into a Red Sage, but were quite the small fry since she only needed to use some Explosive Pouches, a few Kunai, and of course her Windmill Shuriken to get through. As she made it closer to the battlefield Setsuko noticed an individual who had taken off any part of his attire that yelled out Konohagauke, and grabbed a cloak from the ground to use. At first she had no idea on what he was trying to achieve with what he did, but after putting 2 + 2 together it finally clicked that he was going to disguise as a Red Sage. At this realization a small smile appeared as she had continued on since he would be able to handle things himself. Without thinking she had focused the energy to the bottom of her feet, and began to run up the side of a concrete shop. As she made it onto its roof Setsuko cursed once again due to the fact that she still couldn’t get a good sight of what was happening where. Remind me again Setsuko why I chose to be on the roof instead of on the ground? I get the same view no matter which I choose... Not only that, but she couldn’t stay here for longer than a few seconds since at any moment someone can strike. Suddenly, without intending to she had noticed that Higoho was practically pushing people away from a fight that he couldn’t win. “...Why are you doing this?” Setsuko said as she looked up to the sky. “It’s his own fault for not being reasonable.” She sighed as she knew that she was going to help the arrogant Hyuga whether she had wanted to or not. After all, it was her order to her any shinboi, and from the looks of it some of the fighters looked like they have either a partner, or have it handled. In a way it looked amazing to see many people use different kinds of techniques from the vantage point that she had. Without thinking about it any longer, and with a long sigh she had begun running from rooftop to rooftop to reach Higoho. As she did she would throw some Explosive Pouches on the ground below without checking to see if anyone was hurt from it. Once she was close enough to the Hyugas battle she noticed that there was a girl who began to back away from the fight. Whether she backed away because Higoho was being rude, or because she didn’t want to get in the way was something Setsuko would ask later. Upon closer inspection she remembered that someone had told her of a girl that looked similar to this one who part of the Uchiha Clan. Setsuko had always wondered about the Uchiha, and how strong they were since they practically had the same Kekkei Genkai, but took a wild guess that he thought something different about them. As she jumped down from the last rooftop she was on Setsuko threw one more Explosive Pouch at Higoho that would land inches from his feet. “You look tired.” She yelled out to him. “Don’t tell me your arrogance led you to biting off more than you could chew.”	l0ck0n's Decent, Mundane yet badass because she's a Hyuga of a Character "Chains hold me hostage. The ransom? Death." Setsuko wears her headband traditionally on her forehead with wrapping under it, so in case the headband were to fall off the cursed seal of the Branch House would not show. Not only that, but she also leaves her bangs out of the headband, and has it on the left side while having the rest of her hair in a bun. Rarely does she ever leave her brown hair loose, but when she does the hair is roughly 17 inches long. She has two ear piercings, and wears black earrings. She wears a black scarf that she keeps on at all times, a sleeveless blouse that fits her perfectly, and arm sleeves that are cut to reveal her fingers. When it's could outside, or she's on a mission Setsuko wears a styled Haori under a worn-out Obi that a store manager gave her for less than it's original price. Because she's a cheap-stake. She wears the Obi even if she's not wearing the Haori to keep from showing her stomach since the blouse is cut 2 inches below the chest. For pants she wears light grey shorts that have loose, but small pockets. Underneath the shorts she wears thin leggings while finishing it off with the traditional Shinobi shoes. Her height is 5ft 5in, weighs 134lbs, and isn't thin whatsoever. Her build is more on the Mesomorph side what with her having some muscle on her bones yet she doesn't have too much muscle. Her face is longer than rounder, and she doesn't care if it gets a scrape or two. Even if Setsuko is into the decent fashion of a Shinobi she doesn't have too cute of a face being more rough around the edges making up for it with a small round nose, and light skin.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Setsuko is nothing of the calm, cool, and collected type of Shinobi. She's quite short-tempered at times, and can be reckless either off the battle field or on it. Not only can she be reckless, but she can also be impulsive on the battlefield which tends to bring with it mistakes and such while not intending to do so. Even if she comes off quite strong, and well, rude to others she's actually soft-hearted, and is willing to strike up a conversation with anyone. Because she's willing to be social Setsuko is easygoing as well, and likes to crack a joke here and there without fully understanding that her jokes aren't as funny as she thinks they are. Despite taking most of her time to practice Setsuko likes to balance that out with being able to relax, and enjoy the smaller things in life like food. Food is her go-to thing to do as well as weapon shopping, and doesn't like to miss a moment of it. Even if Setsuko is easy going the battlefield excites her, and she likes to be the first one to enter it even if she hasn't gotten fully used to her fighting style since she doesn't always use the Gentle Fist. Because of this Setsuko likes to read different kinds of combat books to increase her knowledge, but seems to never finish one. Secretly, she likes to read romance books, and likes the idea of romance though she doesn't believe she'll ever find someone for herself because love in the real world to her doesn't exist. Setsuko doesn't easily trust people (males), and doesn't try to get too close to someone no matter if it's a possible friend, or a comrade. 【History】 Childhood - (0-6): Setsuko was born to a Hyūga Branch member for a mother, and a traitor Red Sage of a father. Her beginning years involved both her parents since her father at the time still made others believe he was someone else. Her mother had given up the Shinobi life at the young age of 20, and wanted to start a family. Even if she had put her ninja things away the Hyūga had still kept a close eye on her to see if her child would have the Kekkei Genkai. For a while her parents cared for her like any other parent would, and made sure she was as happy as any child should be in those years. At age 4 all of that would come to a halt. Sadly, she had been born with the Byakugan the Hyūga clan was waiting for, and was taken away from them to be given the cursed seal as well as be taken care of by the Branch House. Being a little girl she understood nothing, and would continue to understand nothing until years later. Right after she was taken her father had disappeared only to come back with a few members of the Red Sages. At night they would enter the Hyūga territory, and attempt to take back what was without knowing that she had already been given the cursed seal. The mission was unsuccessful, and the punishment was death for every single member including her father. Setsukos mother had been taken in under the accusation that she had been recruited by her father while they were together. Distraught, and furious her mother would become a shinobi once again to be able to get revenge on the rebel group who, in her theory, had used her to try to get the Byakugan for themselves. Through all of that Setsuko would stay, and train at the Branch house up to age 7 where she would then be sent to Ninja Academy. Base School Years - (6 to 10-14): While in the academy as well as in the care of the Branch house Setsuko only got to see her mother. She had no knowledge of her father, and at that she would not even be able to say his name. In the Academy she would get picked on by her strange eye color, and would pick fights herself since she was to take crap from no one. At one point she had met someone with a similar eye color as her who, come to find out later, was also a Hyūga. She would challenge him multiple times, but each time he'd turn the other way which made her angry. It was almost like he would make himself believe she never even existed. Not only that, but the bullies wouldn't touch him because of how strong he was, so she'd do what she could to prove that she could be as strong. Mostly to get the mean kids off of her back. Because that kept failing she decided to fight him head-on which ended in her losing horribly. Even if she had lost the bullying had calmed down since she had picked a fight with a strong kid, and would do her best to show the boy that she existed. High School Years - (10-14 to 14-18): Once she reached High School Setsuko would find out who her father was. Before she reached high school she was a determined little kid who would do anything to find him. Her mother had told her what had happened at age 13, or at least her version of it, and a year later would be killed on a classified mission. With her parents both gone Setsuko would train almost nonstop to help her deal with the emotions that came with her parents death. As Setsuko passed each grade she'd begin to question if what she was doing is right due to the fact that she had parents by the hands of the confederation no matter how one looks at it. In a sense she also felt that they had left her because of their own desires, so she decided to speak about neither of them from that day on since the only thing that came with their memory was pain. While in High School She would see the kid from time to time that beat her when they were little. She noticed that he was unusually strong yet didn't have the muscle for it which made her wonder what type of person he was. She had found out his name because he was quite the topics of discussion which was shocking to her, but had heard something different about it each time. At one point she had tried to strike up a conversation, but it ended badly; It didn't end in her getting beat up, but somehow the guy still managed to ignore her which, in her opinion, was time to call it quits. As graduation came her skills were better than average, but never as good as Higōhō Hyūga which would irritate her when she'd think about it. Not only that, but the Hamajo Confederation would monitor her in case she were to do something against them, and the Hyūga Main Branch would assure her that if she were to do anything out of the ordinary she would be killed. She was upset to know that what she wanted was not to be a Shinobi to the Hamajo Confederation yet to also know that she had no choice to. 【Family ties】 Setsuko at one point did have both parents, but now she lives alone in an apartment. Akane Hyūga \| Mother \| 23, Konohagakure, Shinobi to the confederation, deceased. Masao Akiyama \| Father \| 25, Red Sages, deceased. 【Dreams and fears】 Setsuko dreams of becoming a legendary Kunoichi despite her lack of talent. She hopes to one day become as amazing as the famed Neji Hyuga who was able to get past his fears, and become even stronger. Her main fear is to be abandoned once again by the people she loves/she is close to. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Setsuko doesn't use the Gentle Fist fighting style unless it is her last resort, or unless the squad leader demands it. The Kunoichi usually packs many different types of ninja weapons such as the exploding pouches, the Shuriken, the Windmill Shuriken (her favorite, and first resort), and the usual kunai. She usually uses these to fight with more often as well as close-combat fighting. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Byakugan Description: "The Byakugan is usually manifested as very distinctive eyes, characterized by their enlarged and featureless white/lavender irides with no visible pupils. While active, the pupils become more distinct and the veins near their temples bulge. The Byakugan gives the user a near 360º field of vision, except for one blind spot at the back of the neck above the first thoracic vertebra. The range of this vision varies between users and in fact can be improved with training." Strengths: Setsuko can reach a maximum range of 9 Kilometers. Weaknesses: At one point Setsuko trained for too long with the Byakugan to try, and master its abilities. Because she had trained nonstop with the Kekkei Genkai (Which is something no one is ever recommended to do) she has permanently strained her vision. The strain has handicapped her to where she may miss details while fighting. She refuses to wear specially made glasses for it. Not only that, but Setsuko doesn't know that the Byakugan has a blind spot. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Taijutsu Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms B rank techniques: Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Taijutsu Eight Trigrams Thirty Two Palms Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Taijutsu Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation : Setsuko can only hold this technique for a maximum of 10 seconds, and at that the technique is weak since it is something she was experimenting on while messing around with their ability to control the chakra better. Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Taijutsu Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms Guard : Like the Palm Rotation this technique is weak due to the fact that she is only able to use it as a defense. She cannot form her chakra into thin blades, so using it as a defense is her only option. C rank techniques: Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Ninjutsu Water Needle Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Taijutsu Gentle Fist Vacuum Palm D-E rank techniques: N/A 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Ninjutsu : Eight Trigrams Grid Trap Rank: C Range: This technique can stretch from the person using it to as far as 6 meters. At what range is this technique useful? You can measure this in 'long' 'medium' or 'short' but those are rather vague. If you wore depth, use a distance such as meters. Description: The jutsu uses the seals of the Tiger, Ox, Ram, and Bird. Essentialy it's like the Grid Palm technique where the user slams their hand on the ground creating a network of grids to the range they desire, but instead of inflicting pain on the victim the jutsu is used like a bear trap. Once someone, an ally or an opponent, steps into the grid network their foot/feet cannot be lifted back up, and they're stuck there as if glue is holding them to the ground. After that, the network quickly begins to slide up the victim restraining their movements little by little as if they're being tied up in rope. While the grid works its way up it sends pulses of chakra to the victims chakra pathway system not only making them feel uncomfortable, but also makes it a bit harder for the user to use jutsus due to the fact that their chakra pathways are being disrupted. The chakra pulses do no such damage a person, and if the victim can easily ignore the pinching sensation internally then getting out is no difficult task. To get out of the jutsu one simply has to focus a small amount of chakra to the bottom of their feet due to the fact that Setsuko doesn't apply much chakra to the jutsu, and because that small amount would cancel out the jutsu then the victim would be free. If they don't figure this out then the grid would slid its way up until the person is covered in the network, and then break into a million pieces as it fades into nothing. It takes about 5 seconds for the users chakra pathway to readjust itself, but no harm comes to the person. From start to finish the jutsu lasts for a maximum amount of 6 minutes, and does not warn Setsuko in any kind of way that someone fell for the trap. Once the trap is sealed to the ground it stays there, but because there's only a small amount of chakra put into it the jutsu fades after 3 minutes if no one has stepped in it. Setsuko mostly uses the jutsu to stall for time, as a distraction, and/or a trap. If she puts more chakra into the jutsu then it could possibly cause severe internal damage as the chakra pulses would become much stronger, but she never does to be able to use the jutsu often. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Description: In its folded state, all four arms of the shuriken are folded together. When fully unfolded the large shuriken can be thrown through the air. This is the first thing she makes sure to pack, and is her first resort in battle. Even if it's her first resort she doesn't unfold it unless she's willing to let it go (for the greater good) for the rest of the fight/battle since the shuriken isn't a boomerang that will come back to her after throwing it.
51,131	1,381	38	1,918	8,262	Tatsuya Kajiya-Terumi Hamajo Confederate, Harvest Festival Government Building Tatsuya raised a brow as the swirling silver fell back into the pool, before coming to a quick realization. He must be under that damn genjutsu that almost got me earlier. seeing the problem, he walked up to the fellow Shinobi and placed a hand on his shoulder, sticking Keysui into the ground before making a half tiger seal. "Kai." He said, sending a surge of chakra into the other shinobi's system to purge him of the foreign chakra, keeping an eye and ear on his surroundings as he drew his sword from the ground, removing the liquid coating the blade with a casual swing. The mist that had been converging back on them was beginning to dissipate as one of the rebels had retreated, and he could hear the flamboyant one also concede his defeat before promptly making his own escape, or so Tatsuya assumed from what was said. Something that the one sage said before he retreated stuck in the red headed Chunin's head, however, how they had only been buying time for their real objective. But what could it be at a simple festival? Wait, wasn't that one famous general, the one in chage of the 11th corps and killed the Rebel leader, here as well. So that's what they're after, shit, I hope that the protection detail at the government building has kept them back. Tatsuya thought as he turned and made his way through the thinning fog, forgetting to inform the silver haired guy he'd been talking to of the reason for his sudden departure in his haste. As he made his way towards the building, he noticed that the one rebel from before, the one that he'd tried to engage before, was also heading in that direction with a squad if clones. Not wanting to waste time engaging them, but not wanting to leave them be either, he took a device to think before snapping his fingers, am idea coming I uk as he quickly flashed through a set of hand seals. "Doton: Subterranean Voyage." He whispered, sinking into the ground before hurtling through the soil, passing underneath Nori and leaving an exploding tag a little ways ahead of the rebel's path, hoping to either disable or slow down the foe with the explosive while he hurried ahead. Once arriving at building, he'd emerge from the ground with Ketsui at the ready, looking around the area to see if there was anything that he could do about the current situation. As he scanned his surroundings, his eyes passed over the strange sight of a shirt cat-eared person that took the red head very little time to identify. Whelp, they're fucked The sight of Yakoul gave Tatsuya equal levels of relief and fear as he remembered the stories he heard from some older Chunin, cause while he'd heard that the androgynous individual was a veritable monster in combat, they were well-known through-out the Konoha forces for their sudden mood swings, which he had heard could be quite terrifying. But surely they'll keep focused on the rebel forces right now and not attack their allies in the middle if a battle. . . right? Tatsuya took a dry swallow as he decided to keep some distance from cat-eared Jounin, instead focusing on some fodder rebels so as to help thin the does numbers a bit. Akio Tendou Hamajo Confederate, Harvest Festival Government Building, facing off against Seijo Akio narrowed her eyes, scanning for any sign of her target now that parts of the mist had been lifted. Unfortunately, she could not see hide nor hair of her, the only thing in sight being. . . a circle of moss. Her brows came together in confusion before rising as she heard a voice behind her, quickly making a roll to the side to avoid the out-stretched hand. As soon as she got up, she took aim and released the bolt, this one being a piercing shot aimed at her torso. At this range, it'd be difficult to dodge it completely, and if she tried to block it with a jutsu, it should be able to pierce through. "That answer your question?" Akio responded somewhat mockingly as she quickly backed up and strafe the Rebel leader, firing several quick draw shots, all with invisible static strings attached. If she managed to land any of them, she'd immediately send a surge of electricity through the string, aiming to incapacitate her. If none of them hit, she'd cancel her Thunder Bow to send a brace of kunai and shurikens hurtling towards Seijo, followed by a string of hand seals before she breathed out a stream of flame around them, infusing the projectiles with Fire chakra as she announced the jutsu in a low voice. "Katon:Phoenix Flow Shuriken!"	Name: Katon: Phoenix Egg Bomb(Subject to change) Rank: A Range: Mid Description: After making the needed hand seals, Akio conjures up a concentrated inferno of blazing heat, focusing it over her palm. It'll take a post for this jutsu to charge up, but when it does the flames will take on a egg-like shape as Akio thrusts her hand out to launch it at her foes. Upon impact with an object, the egg will explode with a huge amount of force and intense white hot heat. The radius of the explosion would be somewhere between 5-10m, though the intense heat can be felt from much farther away, burning skin, drying up moisture in the air, and causing fatigue through dehydration if an enemy is caught near the edge of the blast. The explosion itself takes the form of a phoenix rising high into the sky. The flames that the explosion created will stay for about 2 posts, however, the heat lessening by a great deal until it finally fizzes out. At this point, Aoi can use this jutsu with little strain, upping her usage to about 6 times before it starts to take it's toll. Seiteki Suji no Jutsu (Static Strings Technique) Rank:D Description: This skill allows the user to create strings of electricity that can either act physically as strings, or as a medium that can send small shocks to an opponent. One of this technique's most useful features is its ability to allow the user to detect outsiders. When the strings are placed around an area, they are often fairly difficult to see, and unnoticed by the quick eye. But when the string is used to detect outsiders, they can adapt a quality that is string-like and electrical at the same time. This quality makes the static strings into a string of electricity, but with such a weak current that it is rarely noticed by Shinobi who accidentally walk through the strings. However, when this happens, the user at once will feel a small shock in their fingers, or where ever else they are keeping the strings intact. But unless the opponent felt the weak current as they walked through the strings, the opponent will usually never know the strings were there. But beyond its ability to detect outsiders, this skill can be used as a normal string when it is needed but none is around, or it can be used to create small shocks to other people. However, the shocks are only a little bit stronger than static electricity, and usually do no damage at all. Jutsu Name: Raiton: Thunder Bow Rank B Range Mid to Long Can be fired at a target up to a 100m away Description: Akio forms a bow out of lightning chakra, from which she can draw back and fire bolts of electricity from, the amount of power dealt depending on how long she holds it for. A quick draw only does a low-medium amount of damage and has no lingering effects. A Charged shot, which takes about 1 post to form up, does a fair deal more damage and will leave the target temporarily stunned if direct contact is made. The charged shot can also be split into four homing shots, which'll lock onto the opponents chakra signature. These only do slightly more damage than a quick shot on their own, but if all three hit the same target, then the damage can be even greater than a charged shot and can explode out to damage foes within a meter of the target. Akio can now fire a detonation shot with a charged up bolt, which is less powerful overall, but can paralyze a whole group of individual for a few moments. She can also create a piercing shot, which has more focused electrical energy for more power and damage, but has reduced ranged as well, only being able to go about half as far as a normal charged shot. The piercing shot can pierce through most standards armors and defensive jutsu of equal rank or lower, not including elemental weakness into play, in which it can probably partially get through lower A-rank Earth Style Jutsu and be halted by upper C rank Wind Style jutsu. Static strings can be attached to the quick fire shots, so that if they hit, the user can hold the foe in place by running a constant stream of electricity through it, locking her muscles in place. If this is done, neither Akio nor the target can move so it's not a good move for one on one, but good for lining up holding an enemy in place for another teammate to take down. Edit: Through training, Akio has managed to work down the weakness of her static strings down so that only one of her limbs is paralyzed and not her whole body, meaning that she won't be able to form jutsu while holding a foe down, but she can still move, dodge attacks, and counterattack reasonable well, though she still has to be able to keep some focus on the connection while moving, or else it'll break, thus she won't be able to move as fast as she normally could. Katon: Myaku Hitofuki no Jutsu (Fire Release: Pulse Blast Technique) Rank: B Range: Close to Mid Description: An extremely useful jutsu, this one has the effect of flushing out or separating multiple opponents. Hurling a fireball about the size of a basketball, it is meant to be dodged in order to be effective. For at center of this fireball is a gaseous core which, when the spherical attack finally makes contact with something, will explode and this gas will expand rapidly in a loud bang. The bang is simply a precursor though, as instantly afterwards a sharp concussive force will issue out all around the center of the blast. Though the explosion of the attack itself is not very strong, the force it sends out is enough to knock anyone who is within a certain radius of it flying. Katon: Kudakasei no Jutsu (Fire Release: Shatter Force Technique) Rank: A Range: Close Range technique, with the base diameter of the blast radius being around 5 meters Description: Built upon the principles of Katon: Myaku Hitofuki no Jutsu, this technique instead acts as a much more powerful, centralized version. Gathering heat in between both hands the user focuses it until it cannot be condensed further. Manifested as a sphere of raw, glowing energy it is at first held at bay as if only for show. Then, given any cue, the user slams the sphere into the ground, causing it to explode with the power of pure heat behind it. The user is unaffected by this burst of power, but anyone within the radius of the blast suffers some unsettling consequences alongside the devastating concussive force it sends forth. This technique, by sheer strength alone, has even been known to crack boulders. Separate effects of the jutsu are that the intense heat dehydrates any opponents caught within the radius of the blast, drawing them closer to fatigue, blurring their vision and causing mild headaches all the while. Minor, first-degree burns may also result from this technique. Jutsu Name: Raiton: Raikou Hitofuki no Jutsu (Lightning Release: Lightning Blast Technique) Rank: C Range: Close to Mid Description: This jutsu allows the user to fire off a continuous blast of electrical energy at an opponent, causing only minor burns but a great deal of pain as it courses through the foes system. Jutsu Name: Raiton: Cloak of the Thundering Phoenix Rank: S Range: Self Description: A Variant of the Lightning Armor Jutsu, this jutsu cloaks the Akio in an intense aura of electricity that takes the form of phoenix around them. While under the influence of this jutsu, Akio's speed, reaction time, and physical attack power gains a substantial increase, though not to the level that is seen by users of the original technique, as well as boosting the power of her Raiton jutsu, thus negating the charge up of her more power Thunder bow attacks. She can also up her mobility on the battlefield by gliding and hovering in the air for short periods of times using the wings this jutsu gives her, though she has yet to achieve true flight using this technique. Finally, the wings can also be formed into a defensive wall at a moments notice, incase she's targeted by an attack she can't dodge, but they can only block a single attack of up to A-rank in power, and Wind Style jutsu of Mid A-rank and higher will always be able to partially get through these defenses. Once the attack has been blocked, the wings will disperse and Akio will spend the remainder of the jutsu's duration moving at a reduced speed compared to before, though still noticeably faster than her base speed, as well as no longer being able to hover or glide due to the loss of her wings. This jutsu duration is for about 6 posts, though it can be lengthened to up to 9 by feeding more chakra into it, though this worsens the drawback once the jutsu ends. After the base duration runs out, her entire body will become numb and cause her speed and reaction time to drop as a result. This lasts for about three posts, but if she lengthened it, it can lengthen to about 6 posts and only allows her to move at a third of her base speed. If she tries to go over that limit, though possible, it will result in her body becoming completely paralyzed, as well as the obvious threat of chakra exhaustion. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon: Shuriken Description: A basic tool every ninja should have, it can be lethal if it hits a vital spot, but they are also good in creating some space for the fighter. Tool: Chakra Pill Description: Weapon: Kunai Description: A basic tool every ninja should have, it's the only weapon Akio has when it comes to CQC fighting. Weapon: Tanto Description: A short, straight, single edged dagger that has no point and is used primarily for slashing attacks. Weapon: Ninja Wire Description: A strong metal wire that can be used in various ways. Weapon: Senbon Description: A precision tool that, despite it's low lethality, can be very effective in slowing down and paralyzing an opponent if they are placed in the right place. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 After the war and her break-up with Aoi, Akio has become a very emotionally withdrawn individual, focusing only on either training or her duties as a shinobi, and spending very little time socializing with others anymore. While she still has the sarcastic remark or joke ready whenever it's needed, she no longer talks with people in depth. If they try to get to know her personally, she'll either redirect the conversation away from herself or just shut down, not speaking another word until the person gets the message and leaves her alone. Along with this, Akio has developed a bit of a drinking habit, not a terrible one, but noticeable. She always tends to have one bottle of some form of liquor on her when not on a mission, and she can be a bit cranky at times on missions due to the fact that she can't drink while on the job, a self-imposed rule so that her habit never interferes with her work. On really bad days, however, one could find Akio totally hammered in her home, in which she becomes a depressive, self-loathing mess that is constantly asking people to comfort her and listen to her problems, as well as provide . . . other forms of relief. 【History】 Before the massacre, her life wasn't really that great as her father saw her as nothing as a mistake and an embarrassment for two reasons. The first is that she was a bastard child, a mark of shame on his honor as the Tendou family patriarch, though it was that same honor that duty bound him to take the child in, as her mother had died during childbirth. The second reason was that she was never good enough, and while she wasn't the most skilled of individuals, she was still rather good, some would say better than most. But it was never enough for Akira Tendou, he demanded perfection, and severely punished those who did not meet his requirements. And as she hardly ever did, she was often met with scorn from her father, who never once acknowledged her as his daughter. And while that should've devastated her, she didn't find herself minding too much. She never once considered Akira Tendou as her father in the sense that he was a man to come to with her woes, worries, and needs, as that regard went to her older brother, Kokatsu. Ever since she came into their home, Kokatsu was extremely protective of her, getting into several fights with Akira and most of them ending in some sort of violence. Since she was young, she never got to see Kokatsu darker side, and she believes that he wanted to keep it that way as he made extreme efforts to avoid telling her about his job in any specific detail. He also expressed some sorrow when it became apparent that she was going to be joining the Shinobi forces, though never actively spoke out against it, unlike her father who was certain that she'd never pass and if she did, never make it pass a lowly genin. If things had continued as normal, then he may have been right, for even she had begun to doubt her self and her reasons for becoming a ninja, of whether she was ready for the life they lived. But instead, soon after her seventh birthday, all hell broke loose. A ceremony was held, as Akira had decided to pass on his position as Clan Patriarch to his son, claiming he had never been prouder for him. Kokatsu took the Tendou blade(an artifact past down from Patriarch to Patriarch since before the elemental nations were even concieved) and, with a smile as bright as the sun, slew his father where he stood, dropping the weapon to perform a quick string of handsigns before slamming his fingers into the fresh corpse. An eerie red light rose from the ground around him, and it was until many months after the event that she would hear that at the time, seals popped up all throughout the city. And so it was that Kokatsu opened a portal between this world and a world of darkness to unleash death upon all who lived within it. Only a single order was given, spare the children of the Tendou clan, they had done no wrong. And so it was that behind a veil of darkness, hundreds if not thousands died horrid, painful deaths, all the while a menacing laugh would echo through out it all. When the barrier fell and the demons fled, Kokatsu held out his hand for Akio to grab, only for her to flinch away, looking at her blood trenched sibling in horror. Akio couldn't remember a time where her brother had looked more hurt then at that time, and yet she also couldn't remember a time where he seemed more relieved. He offered no pressure or force, just left without a word, and leaving her alone in a nightmare of blood, death, and sorrow. After the event, the Tendou children were taken in and eventually handed over to adoptive parents to raise them. Of those children, four would go insane from the trauma of what they witnessed as they grew up, one even committing suicide after slaughtering his adoptive parents. Tendou children where treated with a mix of pity, fear, and for Akio, hatred. Given how closely related she was to Kokatsu, there were people, kids especially, who would take out their grief of lost loved ones out on her. This made it hard for her to trust and approach people, and also made it so she hated her features that so easily gave her away. But in the midst of these hardships, an ember began to burn bright with newly discovered passion. She developed a burning drive to train herself, to become as strong as possible. She was able to pass the academy with only minor difficulties, and did her best in her genin missions no matter what the they were. However, in the early years of her life, this passion nearly consumed her, as she withdrew from everyone, constantly running herself into the ground, and then some, for a reason that she wasn't even sure of. In actuality, she felt partially to blame for what happened to Kokatsu, thinking in her subconscious mind that if she had somehow been there for him more, it could've been avoided. As life went on, however, she found herself to be taken unde the wing of Tsukiko Umene. The older jonin would drop by from time to time to check up on her, and if she felt it necessary, beat her in to shape. While at first Akio resented the woman, she eventually began to grow more attached to her as time went on, to the point where she thinks of the wild woman as the big sister she never had. Due to Tsukiko's influence, Akio began to open up to other people a little more and try to overcome her weaknesses. Also because of Tsukiko, the young Tendou can tend to have a rather vivid and imaginative vocabulary when sufficiently angered or upset, as well as having a bit of a nasty temper. As of now, she's living in a rented apartment in downtown, having moved away from her foster parents the moment she became a genin, never to speak to them again. The war was a defining moment in Akio's life . . . and not for the better. while she wasn't a stranger to loss or violence, she had never felt in the scale that she had in the war. Many good friends died in the fighting, only to die in vain as the Confederation came to rule everything. However, instead of being filled with anger and indignation, she just felt broken and afraid. As she recovered, she began to withdraw from the world, drinking more often, and geting into fights with her girlfriend Aoi, until it finally culminated in Akio breaking it off in a fit of drunken passion. She immediately regretted it afterwards, but instead of going after her and begging forgiveness, she simply let the relationship die. Despite still having strong feelings for Aoi, she just didn't want to feel the pain of losing her, imagining that it'd be worse than anything else she'd ever experienced. Since she couldn't force Aoi to stop being a kunoichi, she decide that it'd be best for the two o end their relationship, thinking it'd be easier for both of them in the long run. This belief has long since died in her mind, as she only continues to feel more and more empty inside, but she feels like it's much much too late to fix her mistake. So she lives her days in misery, with her only companions being the alcohol she keeps by her side and the odd stranger that it invites to her bed every so often. 【Family ties】 Akio feels nothing for her family name, and had nothing but fear for her father. Her brother and a few of the braver clan members were the only ones in her family to show her any kindness, though not without punishment. Her foster family after the Massacre were kind at first, but soon grew distant as she showed a great lack in interest in them. After that, they simply ignored her and she ignored them. Not the perfect home, but it was peaceful at least.

As for fears, she still fears losing Aoi, and their separation has only intensified this fear, as now not only will she lose her former lover, but she'll lose any chance for reconciliation.

That's a good motto, right?” Tatsuya is tall at around 6'2, and has a rather muscular upper body due to his work in the forge. His hands and arms are covered with numerous scars, burns and callouses due to the work he does every day, but he wears them with pride as they are the symbol of all his hard work. His red eyes come from his father, and shiny red hair comes from his mother. He also has a tattoo on his upper right arm of Ketsui lodged in the mouth of an active volcano. He got it the day he became a Genin as a symbol to never forget the determination it took to get him there, so that no matter how long the road to greatness looked, he'd never give up. His normal clothing style is usually a plain white T-shirt, some jeans and steel toed boots( a nessecity in his profession). He sometimes where a jacket if it;s cold enough for one, but more often than not, that's it for his casual wear. His combat outfit is a black, long sleeve shirt, a jacket over that, black combat pants and shinobi sandals. Personnel files.

Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Tatsuya is a more weapon-based fighter, specialized in Kenjutsu mostly, as that is the weapon he uses most often, and has the most skill in using. That being said, his Taijutu is serviceable enough that he's not completely defenseless without his weapons, but it'll only do him so well for so long, especially against a skilled Taijutsu fighter. His Ninjutsu is also quite good, with a focus on controlling the battlefield rather than simply blasting his opponents away. Up close, Tatsuya is a very good fighter, but he often has issues against distance opponent unless he can figure out a way to get them to come to him. He can either uses his jutsu to force his foe closer, or takes the battle to them instead. When it comes to using his Kekkei Genkai, he can sometimes use it to distract his opponents by making the ground underneath their feet really hot via forming lava just below the surface. A sneaky, but effective strategy, especially when facing an enemy of a higher skill level than him, as that split second distraction could give him just the edge he needs to either escape, or end a fight. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Lava Release Description: The lava release is a very versatile Kekkei Genkai that has multiple variations and abilities depending on how one uses it. For Tatsuya, he bears an affinity for manipulating volcanic materials like as Magma making a very, very deadly opponent to go up against. His Lava attacks can change the very battlefield, giving him a good amount of Offensive, defensive, and crowd controlling abilities. An added plus to this ability is that one can convert certain earth-style techniques into Lava style ones, at the cost of an increased chakra cost. With some practice, Tatsuya has also been able to create a rubber-like material as well, which he can change the consistency of his chakra to make it work as an adhesive. While he's not skilled enough with it yet to use it in battle, in time it could add to his crowd control and supportive abilities. Tatsuya himself suffers no ill effects from his use of this ability, and seems to have a bit of heat resistance as well, though not enough to make a real difference against a fire jutsu(this doesn't include his own lava, which he's immune to). It's a neat party trick for him to snuff out a cigarette on with his hands, but that's about it. Strengths: The lava style is a highly variable ability, granting nearly unparalleled offensive capability, effective defenses, and crowd control capabilities. Weaknesses: Lava attacks can be effectively countered by a strong enough Water attack, cooling down the magma into rock. Also, this ability is highly destructive, endangering both friend and foe if Tatsuya isn't careful about what abilities he uses and how he uses them. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: B rank techniques: Shadow Clone Jutsu C rank techniques: Fire Release: Crimson Earth Spider Earth Release: Subterranean Voyage D-E rank techniques: 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu Name: Doton: Ishi Yoroi no Ude (Earth Release: Stone Bracers) Rank: D Range: Self Description: By taking dirt and rubbing it on their arms or legs, after performing the necessary hand seals, a shinobi is able to create very durable defensive bracers that add extra protection when using the arms to block. The chakra that is infused in them help to soften the blows of any physical attacks. These are very useful for taijutsu users or to defend against an onslaught of upper body blows. These bracers are designed to block physical attacks only. However, by channeling Yoton Chakra into the Jutsu, the rocks and what not can heat up to a degree that while the burns they cause are minor, they can be extremely painful and distracting to the opponent. Jutsu Name: Tsuchi Tou Tou (Swift Earth) Rank: D, B with the addition of Yoton chakra/used with his Lava Creation Jutsu Range: Current range would be 10 meter at maximum, with 2 meter width, and the earth moves at high speeds Description: When performing this jutsu the user places his hands on the ground and causes it to move rapidly away as if it were a conveyor belt. As the shinobi increases in skill and rank the size, speed, and range of this jutsu all increase. While little more than a delaying tactic, if mixed with Lava Creation, it can create a rather deadly surge of lava heading straight toward the target at high speeds. Jutsu name Lava Style: Lava Creation Rank: B Range: 2 meters in diameter from the starting point Description: The user will first channel chakra into the ground, thus turning the ground to lava. The process is quick, as the ground will melt away into the liquid-like lava. This lava can be used to aid in his other lava based jutsu by creating a source which he can manipulate, instead of creating it himself. To increase the base area that is converted, the user must have both of his hands in contact with the ground. Jutsu Name Lava Style: Lava Spray Rank: B Range: Mid Description: After making the needed handseals, Tatsuya builds up Lava Style chakra inside of his gut before blasting out a jet of molten lava into the air, causing a dangerous and widespread rain of lava droplets to fall to the ground. The spread of this jutsu makes it nearly impossible to dodge, though it can be blocked if the foe has the capability. Alternatively, Tatsuya can also just fire the magma jet directly at the foe in a fast moving stream. Jutsu Name Lava Style: Weapon Creation Rank: D Range: Any active Lava source with in 30 meters Description: The user of this jutsu will first channel chakra into an active source of lava, which will cause it to rise up quickly and making the lava thicker then usual, allowing the user to then mold it into a weapon with a few simple gestures. The weapons created will be about as hard as steel, but are usually rather crude and blunt. Jutsu Name Katon: Nenshou Tosshin (Fire Release: Burning Rush) Rank: C Range: Sphere goes is 2 meters long in diameter Description: A two-part technique in which the user blocks an attack by creating a sphere of fire around themselves, and after blocking the attack, the fires converge on his feet, cloaking them in flames. The fire on his feet can be used twice to launch him at his foes somewhat faster than before. The effect lasts for about 3 posts. Jutsu Name Lava Style: Eruption Rank: A Range: Affected area would be have a diameter of about 25-30 meters, power explosions have a blast radius of about 10 meters(one or two holes), 8 meters for 3 or 4, 4 meters for 5 or 6, 2 meters for 7 or 8. Description: In preparation for this technique, Tatsuya will channel chakra through the earth to create Yoton beneath it's surface over a period of time (2 Posts). As a result of this action, the surface of the affected area will become noticeably hotter as the lava beneath is pushed toward the surface by the built up pressure. Tatsuya can then release this build up pressure by creating small craters in the ground with either explosion tags, thus releasing this pent up magma in a explosive Mini-eruption at every point where a hole was created. The more holes the smaller the explosion will be, and vice versa in that less holes will equal more power explosions. With the combination of the explosion and lava this jutsu can lead to severe injuries and even death if a foe is got unaware. It can also create several lava pools after use, which Tatsuya can then use to his advantage to control how his opponent moves around the battlefield. A side effect of this technique is that it will lead to a nasty surprise to anyone trying to move underground or using ground shifting Dojutsu. The former for obvious reasons, and the latter because it will weaken the ground around them, causing the jutsu to activate prematurely. Weaknesses are the preparation time, making it something that can't be effectively used without either a teammate or pre-planning. It can also be activated prematurely by the above method, and can't be used in certain areas. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Tool Name: Bag of Dirt Description Enough said, for Stone Bracers when there isn't much dirt around. Just in case Weapon Name: Ketsui Weapon Type A double-edged Bastard Sword Description Ketsui is the sword that Tatsuya had to make to be allowed to become a shinobi by his father, a blade of unquestionable quality and a showing of true talent and hard work to be made by one as young as him. NOt only does it have a keen edge and made from durable metal, but during the forging process(where a mix of traditional and modern techniques were applied) he inscribed special seals into the metal to give it an extra function. The blade could now store elemental chakra with in itself and circulate it through the blade more effectively, enabling it to more effectively take on the aspects of whatever element it pumped into it. This also makes it capable of forming advanced chakra natures, such as Tatsuya's own Lava Release, with remarkable ease. And since it's able to store chakra as well, that means that one can fully charge it before a mission and activate and deactivate the seals inside with a simple one handed seal and a little chakra. Chakra effects: Fire: The blade is wreathed in a thin, but intense veil of fire, allowing it to cut through metals with only moderate difficulty and cause third degree burns. Earth:The blade becomes denser and more durable Lava: The Blade becomes as Hot as Molten Lava, cutting through metal with ease as well as getting a slight increase in durabilty The charge is big enough that it can keep the blade active for a total of 5 posts. The Lava style requires more chakra, however, so he can only hold that for about 3 posts instead of 5. Tool Name: First Aid Kit Description A basic medical kit that holds several chakra pills, first aid supplies Weapon name: Shuriken Description: Sharpened, four-pronged metal stars, useful for throwing. They can also be used for close combat, but not very efficiently. Although small, they can be used to distract, pin down enemy shinobi, or if accurate enough, can kill or incapacitate an enemy. They have an open circle in the centre, useful for grabbing with a finger, to avoid cutting oneself, or to put thread through. The circle is also beneficial to the weapon's overall aerodynamics, ensuring more accurate trajectories. Weapon name: Kunai Description: A black dagger with a handle wrapped in bandages and a small ring attached to the end of it. The kunai is designed for thrusting and stabbing, though it can still do some damage if thrown despite not being designed for it, and is about the length of one's hand. Weapon name: Explosive tags Description: These tiny slips of paper with seals drawn on them can pack quite a punch if used correctly, and can even be attached onto an enemy directly. Also can be attached to thrown kunai for accurate delivery or have a bunch wrapped into a ball for a more devastating payload. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Tatsuya is an honest and sociable sort, one who believes that the best way to get something is to earn it through the sweat of your brow and the strength of your will. He's very open in both mind and personality, accepting of pretty much everyone, and at times a bit too forgiving, which people have taken advantage of in the past and probably will continue to do so in the future. However, don't take that as him being slow witted or foolish, as his mind is as sharp as the blades he forges, and he has a keen intuition, honed by years of attending his family's shop, for picking out when people are lying to him or trying to pull the wool over his eyes. He tries his best to remain courteous with all kinds people, but he's no pushover, and if you don't back off nicely, he will make you back off, whether it be through words or actions. Tatsuya is also a bit of an artist, putting his experience in the forge into various metalworking projects and sculptures. While he's not terrible, it's obvious to see that e's still trying to find his niche with the art, as every piece is very different from one another, and he has yet to see one he particularly likes yet. He's also good at drawing, but that kind of a necessity when making designs for weapons, armors, and other such works, but he does sometimes take time out of his busy days to just relax and draw the world around him, mostly just random people on the street who catch his interest. While usually rather humble and modest, Tatsuya takes great pride in what he calls his true art form, forging weapons and armors of his own that have a cool style while still remaining practical in use. He treats every work like a piece of art, and has also taken to learning several weapon types, because he always feels that if he knows how to use the weapon himself, he can better forge it for his customers. His favorite type of weapon is the sword, but he's also learned how to effectively use other weapons, such as the staff, spear, and Naginata. 【History】 Tatsuya's father comes from a clan of reknowned blacksmiths that originated from Mizu no kuni. They were known as the Kajiya Clan, and it's said that it was members of their clan responsible for forging the blades of the Seven Ninja swordsman. However, sometime after the rise of the Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki, a faction of the clan separated from the main branch and left Mizu no kuni, for reason's that very few outside the clan know about. The faction soon splintered off from each other, settling in several different lands across the world, keeping the name of their clan where ever they go to show that they still pride themselves in their linage. His father, Katsuo, was born and raised in Konoha, living there for 17 years before he decided to travel to Kirigakure in order to find out more about his heritage. It was there were he met his wife-to-be, Katsumi Terumi. She was an eccentric inventor, and often considered to be the black sheep of her clan due to her . . . odd mannerisms. While the two didn't get along when they first met, their mutual love to create eventually formed into a relation ship, and after a 5 years, Katsuo returned home with Katsumi to Konoha with her father's blessing, where they were to be happily married 3 years later. Fast forward 10 years in the future to the birth of Tatsuya, their second child and first born son. Tatsuya's early years where tough at first, as he was a rather weak baby, but he pulled through, eventually growing healthy and strong without any complications. Tatsuya soon spent a great amount of time with both of his parents in their respective workshops, and while he tended to lean towards his dad's work then his mother's, he found both of them interesting. As soon as he was able, he would assist them in every endeavor they undertook, no matter how small a task they gave him to do. His family was a happy and connected one, for the most part. The only real conflict ever presented before him was his father's staunch resolve to deny him from becoming a shinobi. Katsuo had seen both his father and brother become shinobi, only to die meaningless deaths and only him and his mother around to mourn them, and he didn't want Tatsuya to become just another forgotten grave in the cemetery, killed before his time because he was nothing but a pawn for the Confederation to use at their leisure. Tatsuya, on the other hand, was adamant about it, wanting it more than anything else. Finally, Katsuo agreed to let the boy become a shinobi, but only if he could make a weapon that would impress him, and not a second before. The task was seemingly impossible for a then 10-year old Tatsuya, but he went at the challenge with a determination that blazed liked a wildfire. Using Kajiya sealsmithing techniques, as well as his own talent and skill with the tools available to him, he worked on numerous weapons, each a good viable weapon, but never reaching Katsuo's standards until one day, 4 years into the agreement, when he presented Ketsui to his father.

51,132	1,381	39	1,787	2,152	Higōhō Hyuga „Bastard” Hamajō Confederation Paris Higoho stood at ease as he noticed, with his Byakugan, that his opponent had vanished. He raised himself up and looked around in the mist, which was slightly dissipating now. Never the less, the Byakugan still made it easy to see through. As far as he was aware there wasn't any more Red Sages around. For now, anyway. He took the small moment to rest easy, looking around to see where to go next. Before he could make up his mind his byakugan caught a hold of a pouch landing in front of him. What the.. Shortly after, Setsuko Hyuga, a clansmate of his, landed nearby, spouting nonsense at him within minutes of arriving. “Hey, idiot.” he said, bending over to grab the pouch filled with explosives, before tossing it back to her. By now the mist was clearing out, a side effect of the person using it disappearing as well. “Shut up.” he'd say before walking away past her, heading for the compounds main building. It seems there was something going on there and Higoho wasn't about to stand by while people were duking it out. As he walked past Setsuko he'd speak to her a little bit more, making sure to let her know that she was late, and above all that he didn't even have to break a sweat to beat these two guys. In his mind, anyway. “Actually, I beat both of them and saved this dumb Uchiha's life. Maybe next time you can be on time, so you can see for yourself that I can handle myself perfectly well.” He continued on his way, walking at a leisurely pace, definitely not in a hurry to reach the main building and come to help the other confederates. Mumbling to himself he'd add, “You're not needed here anyway Setsuko, should've just stayed at home like the rest of these useless shinobi.” It was obvious he was worked up about something, it being unclear what precisely that was. Walking slowly, he reached the stairs much later than, for instance, Tatsuya and Nori would've reached it. He walked up following the same leisurely pace, striding past the unconscious and dead bodies that were strewn about on the stairs. It seemed someone, or rather, something had held house here on it's way up the stairs. When he reached the top, he looked around to see what was going on precisely. On the left hand side there were two girls and some cat-lady that he recognised as Yakoul. She was strong, but on his side. He thought so anyway. That bitch was a wild card if he'd ever seen one - she'd likely turn on him at a key point in a battle if she felt like it. Not a good trait for a commander, but what to do about that, huh? On the rooftops there was Akio, someone he also recognised given her long duty under Konohagakure before the takeover. And there was someone behind her - was that Seijo Tametomo? Red Sage commander, in the same field as Yakoul. This might get interesting, but given Yakouls lack of doing anything worthwhile in this battle, it was more likely that she'd not interfere anymore either. And then there was this guy in red going around the building. Weirdo. But Higoho didn't see any place he could possibly help out - Akio could handle herself he thought. And if she couldn't, well, good riddance. And Yakoul, he wasn't messing with that. There's being a hero, and there's messing with crazy. And Higoho wasn't about to mess around with that crazy cat. So he stood idly by, waiting for something interesting to possibly happen. Seijo Tametomo „Lady Commander Tametomo” Red Sage As soon as Akio rolled away, Seijo was formed seals already, not wishing to suffer the fate of being pierced by those arrows. When the arrow struck her, she disappeared in a poof. As the smoke cleared, a block of wood fell to the ground, giving off a clear sign as to what had happened. This also meant she'd dodged the shuriken as a side effect. The shuriken simply flew into the wooden log, sticking out as shuriken do. Seijo re-appeared above Akio, this time not planning on making such a stupid mistake again. She was rapidly approaching Akio, readying a fist behind her body, bringing it forward swiftly with tremendous force to land on top of Akio's head. The force would likely be enough to break the roof, and send Akio flying through it into the ground below it. If the attack landed on Akio, she'd simply stop herself from falling through the hole as well, and land on the part of the roof that was still standing. She wouldn't waste any time letting Akio live, however. Revenge was part of her personal crusade, and currently Akio had made her quite annoyed. She grabbed a shuriken from her leg pouch, throwing it towards Akio. It seemed to be a simple attack - only one shuriken? That'd be laughable to any self respecting shinobi. But Seijo formed some more seals before pushing her open hands together. “Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!” From the single shuriken came more shuriken, clones in fact, but these were shadow clones. As such they had the actual capacity to damage Akio. From one shuriken came two, three, four.. in a matter of a second there were almost a hundred shurikens, all hurdling towards Akio, wherever she was at that point. “I don't like little shits like you. Too confident for your own good.” she'd say, before looking at the main building and dropping down from the rooftop. She wasn't about to pay more attention to Akio. “Hey, Katsuko.” she'd say out loud, quite sure she'd be able to hear him. “If that girl tries to get at me again, show her how strong you are. Impress me. I'm feeling bored with her already. I just wanna get inside of the building. ”	Partisans Cool Guy Group Entry not allowed to peasants I'm talking about you Savato “To kindle that memory is all I strive for - all this, it has no greater purpose to me. But it's all I can do.” Pictured on the left, Seijo is obviously a well matured woman. Her age would probably be estimated in her early twenties, around 23 or so. That seems to be fairly accurate given her personnel files. What stands out most in her physique are probably her white, short hair and her large breast size. She struts a feminine hourglass figure with wide hips and a wide chest, and a smaller waistline. Adding to that her hips often sway side to side effortlessly, only adding to her appearance as a good looking woman. She stands rather tall for a woman at about 1.74m, and weighs approximately 62 kilo's, though you can guess where most of that weight is located. Her jawline is sharp, almost as if drawn with a pencil and a ruler. Her chin is slightly pointed, but rounded off enough to stop it from appearing like a pointy spear, ready to pierce your body. She has a small mouth with somewhat thin lips, which are pale in color and are only a slight tint darker than her skin. Her large eyes are a brown colour, framed by her eyebrows. Her eyebrows are thin, most likely maintained by Seijo herself. The only thing that stops people from seeing her as only a beautiful woman, are most likely her facial expressions. She's quick to anger. Personnel files.

Should be obvious, heh. 【Sexuality】 Noticeably bisexual. 【Birthplace】 Amegakure. 【Bloodline】 Tametomo. 【Rank】 Lady Commander of the Red Sages, approximated jonin level. Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Assessments of Seijo have shown her to be a brotherly-friendly type of person. She's someone that enjoys very much when you fall down face first in the muddy puddle, and who will gladly spend a few years laughing about that. Never the less she's outgrown that feeling, or at the very least tried to. She's more serious now, which is in line with her position as Lady Commander of the Red Sages. She's still bitter - about the confederation, about the wars, about everything really, and she makes no attempts to hide that. She hates everything about the Confederation, and in her mind, if you are not a Red Sage, you must be a confederate sympathizer. That has grown increasingly prominent in her plans on beating the Confederation now that her brother Tarara died. She's very vengeful, you could say, and it's hard for her to let go of a grudge. Besides this she's also very cocky when it comes down to it, perhaps a bit ruthless, but so far nobody has really dared to stand up against her or question her plans - and she intends to keep it that way. To her, nothing will stand in the way of beating the Confederation, not even her own death. And while before she was fighting merely for freedom, since Tarara's death she's also fighting for him. 【History】 Seijo was born in Amegakure two years apart from her older brother Tarara. They were a semi-happy family, as life in Amegakure wasn't always that great. Especially when it became apparent that two Amegakure shinobi, Ayame and Fujitora, had taken power in Konohagakure. The Amegakure people faced paranoia from all other nations than Konohagakure, seriously hurting their trade power. Then again, it didn't seem to matter much as shortly after Ayame and Fujitora came to power wars started breaking out. Some were even started by Ayame and Fujitora, so it was no surprise Amegakure got involved quickly. By the time that had all happened, Seijo was already a shinobi of fighting age, and was pushed to the front. Luckily for the family all our of them were shinobi, her mother being a strong shinobi with some sensory powers, her father being a taijutsu specialist and her older brother, Tarara, being simply a shinobi. What put Seijo apart from the rest of her family was the utilization of a special kekkei genkai that seemed to have skipped a few generations. In the wars sometimes she'd fight alongside her family, sometimes she'd fight alone with her own squad, but luckily for them they all returned home safe and sound - though Tarara had lost an eye to an enemy kunai. The wars weren't really finished, but something greater was at large. The Confederation arose some time later, and Amegakure being a small village wasn't able to withstand the pressure. They were forced to integrate into the Confederation and were made into the capital - many Amegakure citizens were forced to leave to make way for presidential buildings, apartments for envoys etcetera. While Seijo's mother and father remained behind to 'hold down the fort', Tarara and Seijo left to join up with a band of 'outlaws' that roamed the land. They were Amegakure shinobi who refused to submit to the Confederation, so not quite the rebels they were made out to be. They roamed around the lands for some time and sometimes clashed with other shinobi groups, conflicting for reasons that were no longer valid ever since the confederation had taken over. Over time Tarara grew to become the leader and Seijo his right hand, since there were deaths aplenty in these times and the leaders were usually prime targets - if not for mutiny then for battle with other shinobi groups. At that time the Red Sages were already around and Tarara led the group to join with the Red Sages. The organisation was picking up pace quickly and they made Tarara a captain, and was immediately sent out on missions. The missions varied greatly and Seijo was sometimes sent on missions too, ranging from picking up some equipment, to sabotaging infrastructure. Over time Tarara showed his leadership qualities again and when the previous leader died from old age, Tarara was designated to take over. Seijo wasn't bitter about being in his shadow so much, just wishing to do what was right for her family. But unfortunately Tarara didn't last long, as he was assasinated in the dead of the night by some special operations force from the Confederation. The fight didn't last long at all - Tarara and the few shinobi that were around put up a fierce fight but there were many shinobi, and not enough of the Red Sages. Before reinforcements could arrive Tarara was killed. There was no designation of leadership. To Seijo, there was no question who would take over. It would be her, or she'd leave the Red Sages and do the job herself. But when she claimed leadership, there wasn't anyone that wished to oppose her at that time. The fire burning in her eyes now was enough to dissuade anyone from attempting that, even if they had wanted to. 【Family ties】 The family Seijo grew up in wasn't anything special. There's no sobstories involved, with dead parents, loss of loved ones in the past, growing up an orphan. And there weren't so many happy stories, given that they were in Amegakure, which wasn't exactly the most peaceful nor rich place in the world. Never the less she loves her family, or what is left of it at the current point in time. After all, conflict breeds death. Tarara Tametomo \| Brother \| 30 at time of death, Amegakure, lord commander of the Red Sages. He always loved Red Panda's. Seijo didn't, and she regrets that now. Oiro Tametomo \| Father \| 56, Amegakure, ex-shinobi, currently has a ramen restaurant that serves to the poor. It also serves to the rich. Really, it serves to anyone, he just says he serves to the poor because that sounds better. Rei Tametomo \| Mother \| 54, Amegakure, ex-kunoichi and professional nagger. She likes to nag about a lot of things, especially about Oiro not making his ramen properly. 【Dreams and fears】 Seijo's dreams are really only related to destroying or atleast getting even with the confederation. Besides that she wishes to see her father and mother again in peace one day, but she realizes that that might not be a possibility. Another dream is to meet with one of the Choko siblings - Fujitora or Ayame - though she has heard that it's possible both are deceased since the Confederation took over. Her fears, well, she hasn't many, which has more to do with her attempts at being seen as a coldheaded leader. She ofcourse fears losing her life - she is human and every human fears this. But this fear isn't in the back of her head whenever she enters battle. A fear that is also present is the fear of losing her followers - while she doesn't care directly for their support, she knows she needs them to succeed in her goals. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Seijo is a medium distance fighter with a focus on utilizing jutsu to keep the enemy at bay and kill them. That aside however she possesses some strength and is capable of using taijutsu if she needs to as well - quite adequately even. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Fungus Release Description: The Fungus release allows the user a control over fungal-style plants and moss, which would be able to sprout from the users touch. Remarkably harmless in how it sounds, it's been weaponized quite well through years of practice. The origins of this release are unknown, but the uses are not. It doesn't manifest in clear sight, as the fungus used in this release are housed inside the users body, feeding off of the waste the host produces. As such the user has a notoriously quicker metabolism, as well as a noticeably lower rate of human waste dispersion. In use, the release manifests itself through the obvious moss and fungus it produces. The moss is highly flammable, but the large area of effect jutsu's that can be used with it can cause a spreading fire, or even an explosion, since the spores it releases are very dense. This might inadvertently trap everyone inside the technique, friend or foe, in a fiery vortex. Besides that, the moss has some interesting capabilities, such as genjutsu inducing properties, poison inducing properties or even a chakra and dead tissue absorbing quality, much a kin to real moss and fungi. Some specific branch of the fungi even have mind-controlling capabilities, but it's required to induce the fungal spores into the target by touch, after which it will grow it's way towards the targets brain internally and take over, collect info or possibly control them. Strengths: Versatile and allows the user to regain strength and chakra mid-battle through absorbtion of dead tissue. It's got a great variety for many situations and it's not obvious exactly what is going on with this bloodline limit until it's used. Weaknesses: Fire and (controlled) chakrablasts can somewhat easily deal with the fungi, although you have to be careful with the chakra since the moss can also feed off of it if used improperly. Besides that, it becomes easy to see what the bloodline limit entails once it's used, as it's obvious this is moss or fungus. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu Assimilate All Creation Technique B rank techniques: Barrier: Dome Method Technique 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Transportation Technique Rank: C Range: N/A. Description: Forming the tiger seal, the user sinks into the ground into a small circle of moss with toadstools in it, seemingly dissapearing. A simple transportation technique, this technique will then allow the user to appear somewhere else in the same circle of moss with toadstools in it, which seem to appear out of nowhere to anyone watching. The technique is usable in battle, but the sinking effect is slow allowing opponents to land hits while she is 'sinking' into the patch of moss. Never the less, the appearing effect is quickly, allowing Seijo to appear out of nowhere rather quick and attacking. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Invocation of Nature Rank: B Range: 500m diameter. Description: After forming a boar-hare-ram seal string, and then slamming the palm into the ground, the user can transform the area around themselves into a mossy field by spreading the moss inside their body rapidly over the land, capable of terraforming even the most arid lands into moss and fungus covered 'grasslands' which will quickly (10 minutes) give rise to many forms of plantlife and even small trees (30 minutes). This technique seems semi-useless but it allows the user to transform land into something both useful, and to create a place where she is at home. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Control of Nature Rank: B Range: 500m diameter. Description: Using the moss that is already present in an area, the user is able to control the fungus and moss to a degree, making it capable of grabbing feet, forming walls and also spreading it even further, as long as the controlled substance stays in contact with moss or the user. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Deterioration of Spores Rank: B Range: A cone of 20m outwards of the user, in a triangle shape. Description: Inhaling deeply and placing an open palm in front of the mouth, the user exhales and blows out a large amount of spores over the area in front of her, which carry a poisonous substance that can cause anyone that inhales the spores to start breathing heavily, growing stronger and ultimately choking them by growing fungal growths in their throat over the course of a week if left untreated. Anyone that gets into contact with them externally, such as skin contact, will develop rashes which burn heavily, but are non lethal and can easily be treated as well. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Fungal Chakra Sap technique Rank: A Range: Touch. Description: After spreading fungus from one person (user) to the other (target) the user is able to 'infect' the target with fungus, by touching them and so spreading the fungus and moss to them. The user might notice, but will find it is hard to get rid of the fungus once it's internal through the chakra tenketsu. Once inside, the fungus will slowly sap away the enemies chakra, eating it to strengthen itself. After approximately a minute, the chakra eating fungus will be 'full' and detach itself, either falling off of the body, or being taken away by the blood system of the target. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Hallucination of Spores Rank: B Range: A cone of 50m outwards from the user. Description: Inhaling deeply and placing an open palm in front of the mouth, the user exhales and blows out a large amount of spores over the area in front of her, which are infused with the users' chakra and can carry over a genjutu upon being touched by a spore. Since it's easy to be freed from a genjutsu this technique is generally used only when fighting small groups. The genjutsu is capable of doing pretty much anything a high level genjutsu can do, giving the user pretty much full control over the effects of the genjutsu, while using the subconcious of the target to identify and use psychologically harmful events. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Greater Deterioration of Spores Rank: A Range: An area of 1km in diameter. Description: Similar to the normal deterioration of spores technique, this technique can cover entire battlefields in spores, transmitting the poison to anyone that inhales the spores, and also onto any allies that get harmed. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Ultimate Siphoning Jutsu Rank: S Range: Medium Description: After covering a field in moss, the user will then use their Control technique to encase an opponent in a special type of moss that hardens tremendously when it comes into contact with foreign chakra. It makes it able to withstand hard blows from taijutsu, weaponry and most jutsu. Encasing the opponent, the user then starts using the moss to siphon chakra, and transfer it to themselves to refill their reserves. What makes this S-rank is the speed at which this occurs - within ten minutes a target will be drained of nearly all chakra, at which point the technique can be disabled and the target 'freed' although with the little amount of chakra they would have left, they'd be as good as disabled for the duration of the fight. Jutsu name: Summoning: Neki the Newt Rank: C Range: N/A. Description: This summoning technique summons Neki the Newt. Given the qualities of a newt, this newt is capable of high speed water traversal as well as shooting water out of it's mouth. It's size is medium sized (it's aproximately 2m. high and 4m. long) and is big enough to carry two people in it's mouth at once if they are standing up. Weaknesses: Weaknesses to all internal fungi, such as the inhalation of the poisonous spores, or being touched by either the fungal parasite technique or chakra sap technique are external chakra. This is due to the fact that the moss and fungi adapt to the targets chakra, feeding off of it for sustainability. Any external chakra will offset it and make it deteriorate, as well as the effects with it. As such you can be pulled out of the genjutsu with external chakra (as is the case with regular genjutsu as well), you can stop the effects of spreading poisonous moss and fungus due to the Deterioration of Fungus technique, although the effects it's had on the target up until that point will remain (i.e you won't get rid of the rash, or the internal burning sensation it created). A weakness for external moss (the spores in the air, or the moss on the ground) is that it's highly flamable, however this is also a strength because it can be used against you. “I do not give to receive - I simply take.” If I die tonight Higōhō is a man of reasonable build, especially considering he practices a mostly non contact style of fighting. He's not precisely buff, more like lean, but that's just the way he likes it. His arms are toned as well as his chest and stomach which is more or less the extent of his build. He has a rounded jawline, with a round chin, protruding slightly from the rest of his faces' contours. The skin on his face is rather tight - it wouldn't be possible to pinch and pull his cheeks. He has a very thin nosebridge, and a slightly pointed nose. If one had to label it, his nose were likely to be seen as about average sized. Some of his facial features that stand out a lot are his pure white eyes which conflicts with his black hair and the black shirts he always wears. Although his outfit always changes (he's quite aware of fashion, and although he doesn't follow the latest trends, he likes to dress in ways that make him feel good) he has one consistent piece of clothing in his look - his necklace. On this necklace is the mon of the Hamajō Confederation. One could say he is very much a patriot. And the nice things one can say about him end about there. Personnel files.

Hyuga. 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Higōhō isn't a nice person whatsoever. He's very sure of himself, cocky to some, arrogant to others. It doesn't help that he's not weak, either. He believes very strongly in himself, and although he's smart enough to know that he's no Madara or Pain, he knows he's strong. Not only is that because of the Byakugan, it's also because of his own hard work he thinks, as well as some natural skill he feels like he has. His cockiness and arrogance has lead him to become quite careless when conversing with people - you can call him an asshole, a lighter term would be being rude. Truth is, he just doesn't really care. If a girl asks him what he thinks of her dress, and he doesn't like it, he'll tell her the dress is ugly. If her face is ugly too, well, he'll probably tell her that too. Though that doesn't mean he would dislike this person, he just thinks himself above most people, so he feels a right to say that. Ofcourse, if he likes something, he isn't afraid to say that either. But he doesn't like that much things. In battle.. do I even need to say this? He's arrogant. He's a bit overzealous at times, and doesn't know his own limits, willing to take on things that are above his own skill level. But so far that's not really ever gone wrong terribly. Aside that, you can call him dumb, or you can call him brave, but he doesn't really give up. You'll have to kill him, knock him out, or cut off his legs and arms if you want him to stop getting up after you pummel him. To him, it doesn't matter. Dying is more honorable than giving up. Besides his arrogant appearance and his lack of care for people around him - the catch is that really he does care. Being a bastard child and - boo-hoo-hoo - not receiving a lot of attention, love, nurturing and care, meant that to Higōhō he had to appear like he didn't care, to not give his father the satisfaction of being broken by his lack of care. This carried over to his adult years. And while he might not care for others because he likes them, he cares for their well being since they are in the same battalion. So, he'll be very sacrificial if he needs to be, willing to give his life up for something like a mission or another person. 【History】 Higōhō was born 18 years ago, to a Hyuga side branch member and a woman of lesser morals. Not exactly a brilliant future ahead of himself, especially since he was born with the Byakugan and thus it was demanded that he was handed over to the Hyuga's He was immediately given the cursed seal on his forehead. A stain of shame on his father's reputation, and already that of his own. Not like a newborn baby was aware of such concepts as reputations. But during his childhood his father made it painfully obvious that he wasn't exactly wanted - 'an accident' - and later one even went as far as saying that he was a stain on the family name, a bastard child who was never meant to be. He shrugged it off, really, because at that point it became apparent that his father was a deadbeat, only allowed to stay in the Hyuga home because his drinking problem and gambling addiction would bring shame to the family if word ever got out. Most of his childhood he was micro-managed by the nannies and tutored by the older members. More often than not he was treated as a child that wasn't supposed to be there, but they put up with him regardless. He showed progress in using the byakugan, especially the gentle fist, as if some sort of innate skill with that style was already within him. Whether that was true or not remained to be seen but fact of the matter was he did good in classes. As soon as he became 7, he was sent to the shinobi academy, because a bastard child had nothing better to become than a shinobi anyway. He did well. Well enough, anyway. Didn't exactly want to be there but hadn't much other choice. At that point in time he had already thought to himself that his only purpose in life was really to be a shinobi - and to fight for the confederation. The confederate soldiers were sort of his heroes, warriors fighting to protect their homes, true patriots, yadda yadda. He loved them. So, he figured, why not become one? The Confederation took over at that point and since then his class was kind of filled with masses of kids. That meant that, even though there were many prospect shinobi that were at a good level, there were far more useless kids who were only there because their parents want them to be. And that meant Higōhō would stand out a little. Welp, he passed, no big surprise. Got to be a genin running around doing stuff like saving kittens from trees and stuff. It didn't matter, he was still a confederate shinobi, which felt good. It didn't take him too long to become a chunin - the Confederation took an interest in him due to the Byakugan, and so his promotion came rather easy. And here we are! 【Family ties】 His family is mostly the Hyuga clan - his father, ofcourse, and then the nannies and teachers that he worked with. The other kids, he supposes, were 'okay'. He didn't really got bullied, so that's a plus. Katso Hyuga \| Father \| 47, his room in the Hyuga estate, professional deadbeat. 【Dreams and fears】 He dreams of, one day, becoming a jonin and leading a team, or perhaps even becoming a captain for the confederation and entering the political world of the Confederation. Besides that, he kinda wants to live a calm life after his service. What a simple soul. His fear is probably dying by Curse Seal - it'd be hard knowing you're gonna die without being able to fight back. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Higōhō is a very close combat oriented fighter, using the gentle fist. He is a proficient gentle fist user, capable of ousting most other nintaijutsu users with his own, and being a force to be reckoned with even within the Hyuga clan. That is not to say he'll beat anyone, however. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Byakugan Description: I can copy paste this URL here or you can just read it if you have no idea about byakugan (you barbar). His byakugan has a maximum range of 12 km, though that's only when he's not doing anything intensive (such as fighting). 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Eight Trigrams Mountain Crusher B rank techniques: Gentle Fist (style) Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm Eight Trigrams Sixty-four Palms Eight Trigrams Thirty-two Palms C rank techniques: Palm Bottom Tenketsu Needle 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Eight Trigrams Vacuum Combo Rank: C Range: Very close. Description: The jutsu is nothing more than a combination of a gentle fist move with the vacuum palm move. First the user spins around on their axle, using their left/right hand (depending on the way you spin) to open up the victims' body by slapping away any defensive hand placements, before slapping their palm forwards and using the vacuum palm technique. “Watashi wa Kami - I am still God.” Over the past 11 years Yamato hasn't changed much - appearance wise - in comparison with before the Hamajo confederation arrived. He's grown in size, reaching up to 1.83cm by now. He still dresses the same - tshirts, a-shirts or sweatshirts with some form of jacket over them. He usually wears chino's like he did before, but has traded his slip-in's for a pair of black combat boots. Yamato is defined as a handsome boy, having a chiseled jawline and somewhat skinny-looking cheeks. His nose bridge is quite thin, although not as if it were a stripe. Contrary to most with a thin nosebridge, his nostrils are also thin. Besides that he has no specific bone structure related characteristics. His eyes are a deep dark green, but not so dark that they can be mistaken for a grey-black colour. In accordance with genetics they are slightly slanted. The most defining features on his face are most likely his 3 large, reddish old scars running across his nose. Yamato's body is 'normal' in terms of muscle and fat, though it's improved compared to 11 years ago. He has some obviously defined muscled due to the nature of their schooling, as a normal shinobi is expected to keep up with his athletic properties. His arms are skinny, meaning that the muscles there are by nature more defined, but due to hard training, they are also very much so toned to perfection. Without flexing you could most likely see the muscles regardless. The same goes for his legs. His chest is not very broad nor does it extend towards the front due to musclemass. As such he has a rather 'normal' looking chest. Regardless he does have some definition there, although you probably wouldn't see it very often due to his clothes. Personnel files.

Although as every other clan they have to grow with the times, and as such many customs have become merely symbolical and don't actually hold much significance. These customs are almost always on par with that of the other clans, since the clan is not much different from the others. That said, they have since their waning influence, dabbled more into even darker trades, and many of the Minamoru which were not shinobi, have become actively involved in the illegal arms trade, drugs trade, prostitution and other illegal activities. 【Special Traits】 Males are known to be born with black hair specifically, with the females usually being born with either black hair, or white hair. Chances seem to be 50/50 for either of the colour. Their eyes are green, differing only in coloration between dark and light green. The Minamoru do not have any hiden or kekkei genkai - in fact, they despise kekkei genkai and see it as a curse, where as hiden are seen as a pest, but 'acceptable.' 【Influences】 The Minamoru influence on Konohagakure was very, very big. Some of it was subtle, such as underground influences due to the Yakuza affiliations they have, or rather.. the fact that they lead one of the three largest Yakuza groups in Konohagakure, and dealt in things like Senju DNA, Sharingan black trade (rare) or even the drug trade. Their affiliations in this field are obvious to those involved, but to the outside world, it seems completely preposterous that the Minamoru, a powerful and high 'n mighty clan is involved in this. Besides that they were a huge economical influence 11 years ago, because they owned more or less 60% of all of Konoha's economical centre with Minamoru Enterprises. The remaining 40% is, thankfully for Konoha, not theirs since the other Yakuza groups were trying hard to wrangle control away from them. The fact that they own most of the economical centre should probably say enough about their economical influence but this is not to say that all this money flows directly into the pockets of the Minamoru clan - bribes, wages, etcetera all is paid from these funds. Finally the political aspect of the clan, which was not as big as it's underground or economical influence. Never the less it's still present - the fact that the Minamoru are a shinobi clan in essence (though, that is debateable very much so) gave them a small influence, and their alliances with other clans, as well as their feuds with some of the others, are a reason that they were politically well regarded, though not as high as the Hyuga or the Uchiha, or even the Uzumaki's although those have recently been more forthcoming towards the Minamoru. Ever since the death of Reijo at the hands of Fujitora Choko, the clan has fallen, and fallen deep. The only Minamoru of relative high stands are the shinobi, and even those have been falling ever so slightly. The only two remaining shinobi with a grain of honor left are Reijo's children - Rei Minamoru, a 25 year old medical kunoichi, and Yamato Minamoru himself, the heir to the clan after his uncle passes away. Never the less the clan has no estates left - all financial enterprises, shops, financial buildings were given away by Fujitora Choko to rival companies to ensure that the Minamoru held Yakuza group received no financing. Their political power waned as Reijo was the politician of the clan - the other Minamoru were regarded as too hotheaded and his uncle was a drunk, so he barely did anything with the clan. The Minamoru are barely a remnant of themselves, if they can even be called that. 【Relations】 Naito - the Naito clan is one of the clans that the Minamoru have been feuding with for the longest time. The feud started about 200 years ago, when both the Minamoru and the Naito were relatively new to Konoha. Ever since it's been dubbed the Feud of the Tiger and the Dogs. The long standing feud hasn't subsided just yet as members of this clan frequently clash - be it with words, swords, or politics. No longer applicable. The Naito clan is wiped out. 【History】 The Minamoru clan was founded quite recently compared to the other clans such as the Uchiha or the Hyuga. They were not part of the original founding clans, and migrated later as a result of economical changes. They weren't originally shinobi but quickly managed to adapt into a Shinobi clan effortlessly. They were comprised of highly driven individuals that wished to become the greatest at, more or less, whatever they attempted. It didn't always succeed, actually, more often than not, but you only need to give one glance to the current status of the clan to see how far they kicked it in those 200 years, compared to the Uchiha. Never the less they don't quite fit into Konoha - they are not so much underhanded, and wouldn't do anything to directly harm Konoha, but they are very self centered and do anything they do for the clan or themselves, not for Konoha. Konoha is simply a means to an end for them. Never the less a feeling of pride and honour is also common place in the clan so Konoha needn't worry about the Minamoru betraying them. They do what they do for themselves, or atleast so they say, but deep down most of the Minamoru are quite self sacrificial, especially the shinobi. Those that aren't in the shinobi trade are often a whole different breed of people, mostly simply normal people and civilians. In short, that means they have a tough skin, cussing, feuding, and appear somewhat rude and cold. Underneath that however are people that deeply respect tradition, hierarchy and self sacrifice. They might not show it but it's definetely there. Moving on, they also don't fit Konoha because they are very outspoken against kekkei genkai - and sadly for Konoha (or the Minamoru's, depending on who you ask) there are plenty of clans with kekkei genkai's. This has been reason for them to be a bit of an outcast-clan compared to others, distancing themselves from main Konoha, living outside the village. Up until the mid-years, between Sarada and Boruto's births, and current situation, they were insignificant, standard fodder clans. However it was then that they broke through with the arrival of the ronin, that fueled the underground Yakuza operations that some of the Minamoru were involved in. Due to this they suddenly raised in power unexplainedly, gaining more funds to further their political influence and economical presence. It didn't take long before Reijo took over 40-so years later, and furthered that all even more, expanding their influences rather rapidly. 11 years later, in the Hamajō Confederation, there's not much left of the Minamoru clan. All estates are gone, only the housing area remaining. Everything is, more or less, gone. Only Fujitora Choko and his 11th corps are to be blamed - that much any shinobi in the Minamoru clan will tell you. 【Rank】 Jonin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Yamato used to be seen as a thug or a criminal in the making. Not far from the truth given his father was the largest criminal in the entire village - something Yamato has no particular feelings towards since to him it was a way of life since his birth. However Yamato was never a criminal - he might've done questionable things during his services to the Hamajō Confederation but never anything that he'd consider criminal activity. Something else that characterizes him is his aggressive tendencies, as he is very very quick to anger and is, very much so, an asshole to everyone he meets. Those that know him for longer, such as Akio Tendou or Aoi Don Maquia will testify to this. Yamato is a bright young man, widely regarded in Konohagakure as a prodigy of attack. This is seen in his psyche as well, as the boy has shown aggressive and violent tendencies from time. Some would call it a short fuse.. and others call it being a thug in the making. Regardless of which is true, the boy also has shown impeccable resilience, steadfastness and a healthy dose of respect for tradition. Rumor within the Minamoru clan has said this is due to the amount of training that got instilled into him at an early age, and that he instills into himself daily even still. The boy also hates kekkei genkai for one reason or another, a sentiment shared by the entire clan, and some radicals even go so far as to wish those with a kekkei genkai dead. Yamato is a good student, and gets very good grades compared to those in the same years as him. He has shown a talent for, how could it be anything else, taijutsu and nintaijutsu, focusing especially on the offensive. This goes well with his aggressive nature and he is known to be able to take down opponents in a matter of seconds, although his defense is less than average. Despite attempts to convince him, his resilience has proven that fruitless. Then again, the boy has always been a prodigy and nobody has been able to prove that the boy might need a defense as well. This has affected his personality in a more or less negative way, although that is open to interpretation. The boy is somewhat- no, very arrogant, and while he wouldn't boast about his skills, he is fully aware of his status as a prodigy. This has given him the idea that he is above everyone else, and he has remained to keep this idea as he's been unhindered by anyone who could prove him wrong. Watashi wa Kami - in his eyes, he is God. 【History】 Pre Hamajō Confederation Yamato's childhood years were essentially a calmth before the storm. He spent his first four years as most children his age did - calmly in the arms of his mother, and playing outside. Then at the age of four, his father decided that it was time for him to become ready. Determined to make the clan greater than it already was, he hired a teacher who was to teach Yamato the basics about being a shinobi. No, he didn't learn any techniques, but learnt the mental side of shinobi's, namely rules, history and things you needed to know. This affected his school career indirectly as he had more background knowledge than most when he entered base school. During his time at base school he still had interest in making friends and preferred to learn techniques, practice taijutsu or throwing and fighting with kunai and shuriken. He often sparred with others, showing of his tenacious and aggressive nature in these matches. He often ended up fighting kids that were bigger and older, beginning to make a name for himself. He became a genin at the age of 12 like most others and went on to attend the high school to become a chunin. In that aspect, while he was a prodigy, he was like everyone else. During high school years he maintained a very steady level of training, to maintain his position within the clan which had grown by now. He became, more or less, the pride of his clan and family, and went unrivaled within the clan. In highschool he maintained a same degree of authority, although there were those that had problems with it, he found that he barely had any problems maintaining his position as the people that objected were often not even close to his level of mastery. Although this makes him sound like a hard ass, all he wanted was for people to more or less leave him alone. The only people he could really get along with was his own family. And even that was strenuous at times. Later, he became semi friends with Aoi, who had shown Yamato to be more capable than she let onto. Never the less they weren't ever close to friends - more so, being colleagues that enjoyed working together with each other more than if they had to work with others, the exception to that being Akio, who was Aoi's preferred companion for a long time. As for the hatred of people with kekkei genkai, it stems from the preconceived notion that people with kekkei genkai seem to think themselves special, untouchable or even godlike, and when you pair that with historical events focusing around kekkei genkai and being mostly negative (Infinite Tsukuyomi, Hyuga clan being a prime target to other villages), it results in a hatred that is widespread among this clan, which has seen it's fair share of bad luck to do with kekkei genkai during the centuries. Besides that Yamato is of the opinion that he could beat a kekkei genkai easily through strength and a superior will to work for something. Arrival of Hamajō Confederation During the arrival of the Hamajō Confederation Yamato played a part in the taking of the city. While he was defending the city at first, he switched sides halfway through after realizing that the Hamajō Confederation wasn't all that bad - in fact, it was better than Ayame and Fujitora. It didn't help that Fujitora was responsible for the death of his father - and in turn, the near death of his family. The Hamajō Confederation would have a larger chance to make his family important again. He arrived on scene near the 11th corps headquarters, which was where Fujitora was holed up. Finding himself trailing mostly behind dead bodies, he soon find the source of this - Yakoul. The cat-like person had slaughtered most of the 11th corps, including Saburo and Daiki, two people that Yamato had hoped to kill for himself. Above all, it had killed Fujitora - which was a crime in the eyes of Yamato, blinded by honour. Knowing better than to take revenge by attacking Yakoul, he simply boded his time. He got promoted within the Hamajō Confederation and is now a captain, or otherwise known as Jonin, largely in service at the Amegakure capital. However, recently he's received orders to go to the border area to investigate a compound, and meet with commander Yakoul, who'll be making further use of his services. 【Family ties】 Yamatos family was rather normal, if you keep in mind that he grew up with a family that was not only his father and mother but also included close relatives of those people. Given that his father is the clan head, he has always felt like the entire clan was his family, and not just his father and mother. As such he always felt a great drive to do well, for the honor of the clan. Furthermore the birth of his younger sister when he was 2 added to his drive as he was under the pretense that he'd get to, or even have to, teach her. Reijo Minamoru \| Father \| 43 at time of passing, Konohagakure, used to be often away on bussiness, was a politician and economist, it's said he has a pair of mistresses in any city. Mika Minamoru \| Mother \| 47, Konohagakure, restaurant owner and mother, she is a hard worker who never complains. Atleast she likes to think that she doesn't. Rei Minamoru \| Sister \| 25, Konohagakure, medical shinobi. Popular girl, but unlike Yamato she finds practicing boring and she'd rather spend her time away from home with friends. 【Dreams and fears】 Yamato secretly dreams of a world where there are no kekkei genkai as this would, in his eyes, greatly reduce conflict. Furthermore he dreams of making the Minamoru clan even greater than his father did, to outdo him in something that his father was already very good at. As for fears, Yamato fears causing death and dishonor to the clan, which goes without saying. Besides that he also fears losing respect from the clan and, to a lesser degree, to other shinobi of the Hamajō Confederation. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Yamato's fighting style revolves entirely around the attack, offensiveness and taking down an opponent with hard hitting blows. Defense is almost nonexistant in his style, as he barely needs it. He is extremely resilient, as mentioned before, and as such he can take a lot of hits of any kind without showing signs of pain. Besides that, he is also someone who never, ever gives up. As such he will keep getting up even if he knows he cannot win - an admirable trait to some and a sign of stupidity to others. Another aspect of his style is courage, in the form of never being frightened. He is going to be the first to jump into battle and he's going to do so with an aggression bound to shake hearts and silence voices. 【Ninja techniques】 B rank techniques: Katon: Great Fire Destruction C rank techniques: Katon: Great Fireball Technique 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Minamoru-shi: Nokori Onaji (Minamoru Clan: Remain the Same, 残り同じ) Rank: S Range: N/A Description: This technique is, more or less, what constitutes Minamoru's hiden. It was created by Yamato due to his reckless nature and desire to enter the fray as the first one in - which was a negative thing before. Now, that turns into a good thing. The technique utilizes a very very small amount of chakra, which gathes in a 'pool' of chakra within the user. In general, there's never been a time where the chakra gets used up so quickly in usage of the technique that it completely empties out. This passive ability consumes chakra at a very slow rate constantly, even when not in combat. Luckily Yamato's chakra pool is large enough to sustain it. This ability works through getting hurt - as strange as it may sounds - converting damage done to the user and turning it into raw power. In effect, that means that 'more damage input = more damage output' in simple terms. Muscles are stimulated by the damage, as well as the psychological will to fight on. This allows Yamato to press on past his normal limits - which were already extraordinarily high - and keep fighting even with broken bones, torn muscles or large gaping wounds. The drawbacks to this are, ofcourse, that he's going to be less accurate and skillfull, but more powerful. In short attacks will be more powerful but he'll have a harder time hitting, ofcourse that depends largely on the type of wounds too. That's not to say that he heals them instantly - if he receives a mortal wound, he'll die pretty much if he doesn't receive treatment regardless of the jutsu. But receiving wounds does make him stronger, both in how he feels and how he actually is. It doesn't make him less mortal - but he sees him self as a God. Would he believe he's still mortal? Jutsu name: Minamoru-shi: Chakurabāsuto (Minamoru Clan: Chakra Burst, チャクラバースト) Rank: A Range: 5m-10m Description: Releasing one fourth of the chakra stored in his pool for the Nokori Onaji technique, he releases a pure burst of chakra out of his entire body, causing a shockwave of chakra. This shockwave can extend between 5m and 10m, dependant on how large his pool currently is. The shockwave is powerful enough to send shinobi that don't hold themselves down on the ground flying, sending lightweights (80<kg.) flying atleast 20 meters at high speed, and sending heavyweights (80>kg.) stumbling out of the shockwave area. Objects are sent flying away too, such as kunai, leaves and other random items in the area. The jutsu isn't incredibly damaging on it's own, dependant on objects in the area. For instance, in an empty dirt field, there'll be no objects to send flying, and no objects for the enemy to crash into. So, damage will be reduced to perhaps some light scraping from scraping on the ground. In a forest, or a densely built in city, the damage will be more extensive, given that the enemy might fly into trees, rocks, buildings, roadsigns, etcetera. Jutsu name: Katon: Great Fire Fists Rank: A Range: Close Description: The technique begins by creating a short series of seals ended by a Tiger seal - although since this is Yamato's signature move, he has perfected it to the point where he doesn't need to form the seals any longer. After this the user flicks his wrists and they are set ablaze. Not yet taking a shape the user must focus the chakra around this area for a short period, in the case of Yamato a second or two. After this is done the fire becomes hotter, akin to a bunsenburner in heat, and the fire will take the color blue as a result. The resulting heat is enough to roast skin even if it's not touching the fire, and enough to severely burn anyone that gets in direct contact with the flames, enough to cause third degree (yes, that hot) burns when you get directly hit by a punch of this technique. Anyone standing nearby Yamato will feel the heat emenating off of the boy, whether they are friend or foe, before he leaps into the battle. The fire takes the shape of a lions head, akin to the two guarding lions that stand outside most wealthy places or places of public interest. Jutsu name: Katon: Great Fire Extraction Rank: A Range: Close Description: Yaoku's Revenge sets the user ablaze for a short time, appearing to others as an explosion. In reality it works as a distraction, while the user cocks his hand back which is then lit ablaze. The single hand will be heated up so much, that it overpowers even the Fists of a Tiger technique, heating up to the extent where it will be able to melt both skin, muscle and bone. The intensity of the technique requires so much chakra that it is pretty much useable only thrice. After the required heat is reached, a matter of seconds for Yamato, the user lunges forwards through the explosion he caused himself and launched his fist into the enemy, melting skin first, then fat and muscle, and finally bone before the hand cools down. If used effectively, and the hit connects, it will be a tremendous attack able to incapacitate or kill most enemies. But it requires accuracy, something that is often lacking when an enemy is moving around, and also because the explosion caused by Yamato would obscure his vision. Besides that, the attack leaves him rather exhausted, so that he'd have to retreat from the fight, something that Yamato could obviously never do. As such it's likely for him to overexert himself after using this technique. Jutsu name: Katon: Great Fire Bind Rank: B Range: 10 meter in front of Yamato Description: To be used in conjuction with the Great Fire Extraction technique, but useable on it's own too. This technique is not neccesarily a fighting technique, the sole technique in Yamato's arsenal that isn't focussed 100% on the offense. However it is used as a runner up to a very offensive move. After forming a boar and tiger seal, the user holds the tiger seal while a set of 2 fiery hands emerge from his back, quickly coming out at a rapid speed. These hands will head for the enemy almost instinctively, and grab the enemy by the arm. Once grabbed it will be virtually impossible to get out lest you have a teammate that is able to free you or you work out a genius way to break free. Because the hands are made of flames you will receive slight burning although the burns will not be harmful whatsoever, akin to a D rank fire jutsu if not less harmful. The true fear you should have.. is the follow up jutsu. There is a slight reaction time between being grabbed and the start of the technique, around 1.5 seconds, but dodging will only end up causing the hands to chase you for a longer time. The only true escape is to get out of the 10 meter mark, but that will be hard with just 1.5 second to escape. It's possible for ninja's with above average jutsu, however. Another weakness, aside from it's length, is it's weakness to both water and earth defensive jutsu, such as the earthen walls or the water techniques that send out half an ocean. Using wind or fire against these hands is nearly useless, matter of fact it's counter productive because adding more fire to the arms will have no effect, while using wind based jutsu on them will fuel the flames, speeding them up even more. Electrical jutsu are useless, too, because electricity will go through the hands. An extraordinarily fast shinobi (read: faster than Yamato) will be able to dodge the hands initially and then attack quickly after if he times it right, because attacking Yamato and forcing him to release the tiger seal will stop the jutsu. However, if Yamato moves but still holds the seal, the jutsu will continue. The time it takes to form the hands and attempt to grab the opponent is all within 1 post, but the actual act of grabbing depends on it being dodged/ran away from, and as such can only happen in the 2nd post. Jutsu name: Fuuton: Greater Fire Fists Rank: C Range: N/A. Description: Technically not a technique on it's own, but still classified as one, the user will not have to form any seals, instead he simply has to augment fuuton chakra in his fists and release it into his fists of the Fire Fist jutsu. Due to Fuuton acting as 'fuel' (fuel for fire is oxygen, a source and burnable material) the fire will begin to burn even hotter, turning the fire blue and causing the area it's used in to appear 'darker' or closer to nightfall. This is due to the bright source of light making the environments appear darker than they really are simply because of the contrast or difference in lightsources. Even on a blue sky, clear lit day it will appear as if it were 00:00 midnight. The fists of the Fire-tiger will burn so hot, the radius at which the heat can be felt greatly expands and even those standing close to Yamato during the usage of this will feel uncomfortably warm, and if they stay near long enough, might begin getting a serious sunburn. The main effect also increases, still holding onto the 3rd degree burns upon connecting a hit, but adding in the additional fuuton element of a highly increased knockback and a cutting effect, too. You will go flying most definetely when you get hit by this augmented technique, sending lighter opponents up to 100m away and heavy, fat opponents at a weight of 200kg about 30 meters. Furthermore, there will be slight cuts, as if you got hit by 20 kunai at once. Ofcourse, that's all superficial wounds - nothing life threatening, but definetely painful. Like most nintaijutsu, this is extemely destructive, but exerting at the same time. There is no real weakness to this technique, as it's not really a technique to begin with but more so an augmentation or reinforcement of another. As such, weaknesses of the Fists of the Tiger still exist, such as suiton jutsu or defensive doton jutsu. Even so, the usage of this extra fuuton jutsu will allow the user to simply brute-force his way past many of these jutsu anyway, most notably doton. Suiton will always be a problem for fire users and this technique is no exception. Jutsu name: Katon: Great Fire Bomb Rank: B Range: 7.5m Description: This technique is a secret trump card held in high regard by the Minamoru clan. Not many outside of the clan know of it, because it's a rather rough technique on both the victim and the user. The users can begin this technique by forming the Tiger seal, after which it cannot be stopped anymore. The user envelops themself in flames, starting out akin to any other fire technique and indistinguishable at this time, looking rather harmless. However this all leads to an explosion. An explosion of the user itself into fiery death. In essence it's a fiery suicide technique that will blow up the user plus anything within 3.5m of the technique, and will damage anything up to 7.5m around the technique. The bad side? If you use this technique you die. Jutsu name: Minamoru-shi: Jisatsu-ryō (Minamoru Clan: Suicide Charge, 自殺料) Rank: B Range: 50m. Description: Utilizing his Futoon element, the user 'boosts' his speed quickly by displacing air in front of him towards his back, to travel quicker similar to how an airplane gains lift. However, this technique isn't fast enough to create lift and neither is Yamato shaped in order to create lift.. However, this will give him speed. Using this speed the use pummels himself into the enemy ranks, most likely a larger group of enemies. The head on charge manifests itself into simply crashing into the enemies with limbs extended, punching left and right to get as many hits in as possible. Defense is NOT a part of Yamato's vocabulary. This can be easily protected against by, say, creating an obstacle like a doton-sphere to protect yourself/you friends (if you're friendly like that.) 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Backpack. Weapon, tool or object type: It's.. a backpack. Possibly filled with explosive tags. Description: It's a fucking explosive backpack bomb. Bag-o-bombs. EASY.
51,133	1,381	40	985	319	Nori Hisakawa Red Sages "I don't think I've been in a fight that bad for a long time. Damn myself; I almost hope the Lady Commander berates me for this one. I feel like such a fool; in the heat of battle, I'd let myself forget about the Hyuga clan and the Byakugan. At least I have the information about that unknown kekkei genkai." Nori was a mess after that fight. The side of his stomach felt like hell, though he didn't feel like he had suffered any permanent damage from the strike besides heavy bruising. He was thankful he didn't try to block it; he probably would have ended up with a broken arm, and to hell with the rest of the mission, and probably his excuse for a career. And then he'd almost gotten himself blown right-the-hell-up after escaping. Did one of them try to escape and trap them? It was a good thing he had brought those clones. The one in front of him had managed to trigger it, and it gave him the window needed to replace himself with the clone behind him. So now he was down two clones, hurt in the side, and pretty irritated. He wasn't arrogant about his fighting skills though; the Hyuga just had the means to beat him, and he was outnumbered. Hopefully he'd managed to save that redhead. It didn't appear as though he'd been followed though, or if he had, they were taking their sweet time to stop him. A bad idea, as now he had gotten close enough to see the Lady Commander in the midst of a fight. Some kunoichi, some lightning bow. Her pet newt wasn't around for some reason, but it wasn't making much of a difference. The fight was going well in her favor. He made himself off to the side of the building until the fight subsided, using the time to summon up a spare naginata. They weren't exactly easy to make, but he did keep a few extra for certain situations. It wasn't long until Seijo declared the fight with the girl over, asking Katsuko to step in for her. He was perhaps just as scary as the Lady Commander at times. As soon as the declaration was made though, considering Katsuko was coming in, he made his way out and sprinted towards her. "Lady Commander Tametomo! I have something to report from the back lines!"	“Sacrifice yourself to do one good thing, or live on to do many? Think about it.” Standing at about 5'11" and weighing in at 150~lb, Nori is tall, lean shinobi, with an air of thoughtful relaxation about him. His bluish-black hair is trimmed slightly shorter than in the picture above, keeping the bangs out of his eyes, and the length in the back about halfway down the neck. His skin is rather pale, with sharp grey eyes, and slightly pointed teeth reminiscent of the Seven Ninja Swordsman of the Mist. Attire-wise; in battle, he forgoes a flak jacket, instead settling for a chain mesh under a loose, sleeveless blue shirt, black shin-length pants, standard issue black sandals, arm-guards, and his dark blue scarf tucked into the back of his shirt; a worn Kirigakure plate is attached to the end of this. Out of battle, his attire is much more modern; while he still sticks to wearing blue out of habit, he often dresses in semi-casual suit jackets, button-up shirts, slacks, and sneakers, varying to weather and situation as necessary. The only consistency is the dark-blue scarf, kept with him regardless of occasion. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Nori is an analytical type. Even in casual conversations, he will take long periods of time to listen thoroughly to what the other(s) have to say before replying, replying only when he has found something worthwhile to say in response. He's often relaxing to be around because of this trait; you'll almost never be interrupted or ignored, and especially those needing to blow off some steam will drift to him. The responses are where that line becomes less clear-cut. His honesty in his responses, and the depth he might go to analyze a statement, can lead to starting an argument that never needed to happen, or worsening an existing one. Not everyone likes hearing the truth. He doesn't seem to regret these situations, since the problem wasn't his fault in the first place. Some people think he's arrogant because of this aloofness, and they wouldn't be wrong. He'll become frustrated if people challenge his analysis, and even moreso if he happens to have made a mistake in his interpretation of the situation in the first place. Being such a good listener though, sometimes he has trouble starting conversations, or holding them. He doesn't really have the social drive to keep up small talk for very long, and he also dislikes having to talk about himself. It takes work for him to honestly feel like opening up to anyone, and he grows extremely uncomfortable talking about himself or his past. Which leads to a conflict of interests; if he can talk to you about your problems, why can't he talk to you about his own? 【History】 Nori is the only son of his parents, a non-shinobi father and a hunter-nin mother, in the unsteady Kirigakure village. With the years preceding the era of peace from the Hamajō Confederation, his mother was hardly ever home for the boy, constantly performing missions, be they for the village, or against its defectors. No questions asked has always been the terms of the Hidden Mist though, and so he simply smiled and nodded when his father constantly praised her mother as a hero, regardless of how dirty her job was. Even when she did return though, she never doted on him, unlike how he saw other mothers do with their children. She simply enjoyed the brief tranquility that would come between her missions as much as possible, and Nori accepted the exhaustion that came with his mother, the "hero." As he grew into his Academy years, he himself trained diligently in the Academy, to become a "great hero" like his scarcely seen mother, and succeeded; he was quiet, talented, and most importantly, obedient. What he also learned however, is how to be an outcast; children in times of war are never settled, and they found every reason to question why his father wasn't a shinobi, and tease that maybe his mother wouldn't come back this time. He simply let them speak and continued his training; his father did everything he could as a parent, and his mother was a hero. He didn't have the nerve to question them early on, and didn't care once he understood later. Even after learning of just what the job of hunter-nin entailed, well, it was just another grisly duty, and he would be more than willing to follow his mother's footsteps in that role. And then, during his graduating year at the Academy, the war hit a terrifying peak for Kirigakure--the destruction of the village. People scattered. Most died. Nori and his family were of the lucky ones; they managed to get out before the devastation, finding themselves heading north across the water to the Land of Lightning, and the new Kumo Province. For a long time, neither of them knew where his mother was. His father took up the task of farming, struggling to get by in the lackluster area. Nori didn't know what to do. He had been following in his mother's footsteps, but how could he join a military that let their home be destroyed and separated him from his "hero?" His decision would be solidified several years later, after the Hamajō Confederation had settled in. After the destruction of Kirigakure, his mother had been lost. She didn't know what had happened to her family. She thought them likely dead, herself being another lucky one, sent over to the Land of Fire on her most recent task. The loss of home, the loss of family...she ended up with some of the scattered armies, and eventually decided that she would fight against the power that couldn't protect her anymore; she joined the would-be Red Sages, and eventually got herself killed for it. Family connections were made. The Confederation came to his father's farm, looking for intel on the Red Sages. Neither of them knew anything about what had happened after Kirigakure, and after some extremely stern interrogation, decided that refugees fled to Kumo wouldn't know what happened to a traitor last seen near Konoha. "Traitor." That was the term that had solidified his decision. There had to be a reason; she had been a hunter-nin. Her duty: to track down rogue shinobi, the traitors. She had to know the consequences of becoming the hunted, so the reason for her supposed defection had to have some meaning behind it. He thought it over, and decided to continue her fight. His father never questioned it; he was a grown man now, and his decision was his own. He would join the Red Sages, and fight the real traitors. 【Family ties】 Nori grew up in a single-father middle-class household, with his mother visiting only once every several months during her time of service after she got herself off of maternity leave. He has no siblings. After the destruction of Kirigakure, he lived in near-poverty with his single father, and never saw his mother again. Naozumi Hisakawa \| Father \| 50, Kumogakure, farmer. Suffers depression from the loss of his wife. Under surveillance following disappearance of chunin son. Former spouse classified as traitor. Koyori Hisakawa \| Mother \| 44, Deceased. Hunter-nin. Classified as traitor for assisting criminals against the Hamajō Confederation. 【Dreams and fears】 Nori's dreams are to discover why his mother decided to join the Red Sages before him, and avenge her personal legacy. His fears are for his father being punished for having two criminals in the family, despite his innocence. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Nori focuses around genjutsu-based combat, looking to manipulate his opponents into a corner with various Water-style ninjutsu and weaponry--most notably being a naginata--before locking them down with genjutsu and going in to finish the job. 【N/A】 Bloodline limit name: N/A Description: User possesses no known kekkei genkai. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: B rank techniques: Water Release: Water Formation Wall C rank techniques: Water Prison Technique Water Clone Technique Water Release: Water Bullet Technique Water Release: Water Bowl D-E rank techniques: Body Replacement Technique Unsealing Technique Hiding in Mist Technique 【Custom made techniques】 Aquatic Bone Suffering Rank: B Range: Dependent Description: This jutsu causes all water created from a previous Water Release ninjutsu to have an extreme numbing effect to any skin in contact with it, extremely hindering the sense of touch, and in turn, making it more difficult to control the dampened areas. While the effect is immediate and intense though, it's reliant on how wet the opponent is; if they've been successfully dodging techniques, or happen to be in heavy armor, they likely won't be affected significantly. Likewise, managing to sufficiently dry themselves will remove the effect, and as with all genjutsu, if they are aware it's the illusion of loss of sensation, then they can mentally force themselves to overcome it if possible. The strength of the technique is its subtlety and range, the weakness being its ease of avoidance. Jutsu name: Water Release: Seashell Current Discord Rank: B Range: Mid to long-range Description: An audio genjutsu, in which the user releases a quick jet of water from their mouth onto anything nearby. Those hearing any noise the jet of water creates, such as its impact, will begin hearing only the noise they heard the genjutsu create, be it a splash on another body of water, against a tree, etc., essentially cutting off their ability to hear. In combination with the Hiding in Mist Technique, it can be crippling to have one of your other means of locating your opponent crippled. The strength of the genjutsu lies in it's simplicity of execution and subtlety. The weaknesses lie in the lack of physical hindrance; the opponent is not incapacitated in any other way, and it can be avoided by not hearing the initial noise, and the technique can be overcome with sufficient time/chakra control. Jutsu name: Kingdom of the Eastern Seas Rank: A Range: Short Description: The user clasps their hand at an opponent's throat or forehead while casting the genjutsu, after which, the victim will be under the illusion of being dragged to the bottom of the ocean floor; painful, crushing water pressure, asphyxiation, no light, and no sound. These effects persist until the caster of the genjutsu releases their hand from the opponent, or loses the ability to channel the chakra. The weakness of the technique lies in its extremely close range, especially so with the need to grasp something as usually well-protected as a head or neck. The strength lies in the fast effects and sheer intensity of the genjutsu, crippling all senses at once, incapacitating most in short order. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Customized Naginata Description: A 5 foot long bright grey naginata, with the bottom half able to collapse into the top to make it a more efficient weapon at extremely close range, as well as the tsuba consisting of a hardened rubber disk, to insulate electricity coming through the blade, knowing that his exclusive use of water techniques makes him quite vulnerable to an electric discharge. The coloration is exclusively for blending in with the Hiding in Mist Technique, to make the weapon harder to see. Okay, just threw it in over the post I had to "delete" before.
51,134	1,381	41	323	3,236	Cheiko HonmaAt Harvest Festival, Red SageChieko smiled wolfishly as she stepped back from another fallen ninja. The poor idiot never stood a chance against the likes of her. She turned her head and looked around. Most of the Red Sages were in retreat. All except those at the main building. Chieko briefly toyed with the idea of going there, but decided not to. Expecially when she kept spotting red hair. Each time her stomach did a little flip-flop. But thankfully none of them were Noriko or Umary. Umary was intelligent. She'd know better than to be here. Not in the middle of a battle. Noriko on the other hand was bound to be in the middle of it. Which was where Cheiko was not going to go. Decision made the young girl bounded off to find another ninja to fight, or to do something to stave off the perpetual boredom. Her two lightning clones followed her, they had taken a loss two fights ago. Chieko paused as she spotted a group of fighters. One of them had peculiar looking clones. Very snazzy and he looked like fun. A corner of her mouth tilted upwards, the closest she ever came to smiling. She crouched down, ready to spring into the group when a redheaded shinobi turned. Noriko. Chieko's mouth went dry and the girl ducked behind a stall to hide herself from sight. That had been too close. Had she been noticed? Umary HonmaInside the Compound, Inside a Barrier, Confederate Umary swallowed thickly as a head appeared followed by a body. When the man fully emerged Umary raised the needled she had prepared and tossed them in his direction. Luck wasn't with her as he ducked down just as she threw. The needles sailed over his head harmlessly as the earth began to shake. And shake. Even with directing her chakra into her feet she found it impossible to keep her feet as the ground crumbled under her. As she lost her footing and began to fall she reached into her pouch and pulled out her poison smoke bomb and lobbed it in his direction with a mental prayer. Then she hit the ground, hard. She curled up in a ball and concentrated on trying to mitigate the injuries she could already feel herself getting from falling stone off the ceiling. He was trying to bring the whole building down! Noriko HonmaAt the Harvest Festival, Confederate Noriko stemmed the tide of chakra and the fireball vanished. She shifted her sword as the ninja jumped over aforementioned fire ball. However he didn't engage, instead he fled. The redhead scanned the battle ground, quickly spotting another ninja, a Confederate she recognized, Tatsuya. Another Konoha ninja. Noriko hadn't been surprised by the erratic behavior from what had turned out to be a clone. Everyone had heard about Tatsuya's rather eccentric behaviors back at home. The flash and bang wasn't appreciated and she made a mental note to punch the shinobi if he was still alive. After all he deserved it. Noriko surveyed the ground once more before turning back to the other shinobi and the civilians, her sword held downwards but still unsheathed. Most had fled only a small distance and were coming back to what they perceived as safety. "Is anyone hurt?" Noriko asked as she looked the civilians over. Apart from looking terrified, they all appeared to be okay. True to her observations they all gave various kinds of assent from nodding their heads or vocalizing their words. Satisfied no one was going to die on her she turned to the shinobi who had aided her. "What's your name?" Noriko asked also looking him over. He also looked intact. "Are you going to be okay here?" Her eyes were already scouting out the field, picking out new spots where she might be needed. Mainly her eyes were focused on the building under assault. Her lips pressed into a thin line. Fighting around the grounds was coming to a head. Reinforcements were on their way undoubtedly.	The Honma Sisters “Power has only one duty - to secure the social welfare of the People.” Noriko is the tallest sister standing at five foot seven. She has long red hair and green eyes. She's rather fond of eye makeup and usually adds something to make herself look more intimidating. Like the rest of the women in her family, she is built like a rectangle. She's flat with no assets to speak of. On the trade off she is very densely muscled. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Noriko is the serious sister. She loves life and enjoys being a Ninja. However she isn't as competitive as her youngest sister. Nor does she feel obligated to be a Ninja. It merely was the logical decision in her mind. After all her parents were both ninjas and it felt natural to her. Overall Noriko is calculating. She comes across as cold to most people, but that's just because she doesn't care about them. The only people she cares about are her parents and her sisters. Sometimes Noriko has problems determining right from wrong. Excessive from light handed. She also enjoys having power over other people. Though she does know that's not quite right. She also know if she's not careful she'll go down a dark path. When things don't go her way, she will get even at a later time. 【History】 Norkio was the first born of her parents. Due to her parents both being Ninja, they were hardly around. Because of this it often feel to Noriko being the parent for her younger sisters. This propelled her to mature faster. Still, her nurturing nature made it's appearance and she never resented mothering her sisters. With taking care of her siblings practically a full time job Noriko didn't have much use for friends. Instead she dedicated her free time to learning ninjutsu and taijutsu. When she was of age she joined the ninja academy in Konohagakure. She pushed herself a lot harder than her teammates and it caused a large amount of tension. For Noriko wanted to be a chūnin as fast as she could, but her teammates didn't. Eventually she ditched her teammates to join another team, Daiki and Ichiro, going to the Chūnin Exams. Out of the three man team only Noriko and Daiki became chūnin. This severed all good will between Daiki and Ichiro. However during the exam Noriko and Daiki became friends which quickly progressed to lovers. Still it wasn't meant to last. Daiki resented how much time Noriko spent with her younger siblings and left her. Heartbroken, Noriko swore off men and instead redoubled her efforts on her shinobi skills. One day soon she hopes to become a Jounin and lead her own team. Currently Cheiko is missing and Noriko spends a lot of time trying to look for her. 【Family ties】 Noriko grew up in a ninja family. Her parents were often absent leaving her the responsibility to raise her siblings. This created a close bond between her and her siblings. All the women in her family, except Umary, are very competitive and hate to loose. Umary and their father are extremely laid back and often get walked over by the stronger personalities.

It ends up looking like a miniature sun and is typically only held at bay for show. Then, given any cue, the user slams the sphere into the ground, causing it to explode with the power of pure heat behind it. The user is unaffected by this burst of power, but anyone within the radius of the blast suffers some unsettling consequences, such a major to minor burns, alongside the devastating concussive force it sends forth. This technique, by sheer strength alone, has even been known to crack boulders. The technique will also cause head-aches, blurry vision and shortness of breath due to the change in air pressure and density. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Wakizashi Weapon type: Short Sword Description: An average short sword.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Umary is the cheerful middle child. She loves life and wants to enjoy it to the fullest. As the middle child Umary is often the last to be noticed. Sandwiched between two strong personalities she is often forgotten. But Umary often likes it best that way. She is often away from home spending time with friends. Because of this she was the most reluctant to become a Ninja. She would have rather not, but felt pressured it join. In the end she decided she could do good for shinobi. She is happy that the world is at peace. But the cracks in the peace worry her. Mostly her worries center around her sisters who are pulling opposite directions. 【History】 Umary was the middle child. Her earliest memories were of being taken care of by Noriko. It's strange, but her elder sister was always more of a mother to her. When her mother, Chou, actually began to be home for longer periods of time, it was an adjustment for all of them. At first Umary resented it. Her mother was a strong woman and often dismissed Umary out of hand because of her docile nature. Adding to her mother's return was the pressure to live up to their family's legacy. Eventually the desire to be loved and accepted drove Umary to becoming a Genin. It was at this point that her mother actually acknowledged her as a member of the family. Umary's time as a Genin wasn't the best time of her life. She spent a lot of time over at her teammate's homes and away from hers. In a way she was closer to others than her own family. It was during this time that she was happy to discover her abilities were like her father's. When she made the switch over to focusing on medical techniques life picked up. It was also in this same time period that her father returned from his missions and began to teach her his skills. Life of Umary was picking up. She had good friends. The love of her father. Noriko who loved her and Cheiko who was like a little puppy. With the help of her family she was able to pass the Chunin Exams. Ironically she was on the same team as her youngest sister Cheiko. As of the moment Umary is very happy being a chunin and has no further designs on upward movement. Still, she's using her connections to try and find Cheiko who's been gone too long. Though she suspects where Chieko went. 【Family ties】 Umary's parents were never at home during her younger years. Instead she was raised by her elder sister Noriko. When her mother came back home she ended up spending most of her time away from them and with her friend's family where she found nurturing environments. Because of this her bond to her family isn't as strong as her sisters. Though she loves her father very much.

She wants to retire in a small village and live out her years in peace. Maybe she might even marry a man who is a little simple and have peaceful children. Umary fears war. War in her family or war in the world. Both are equally bad in her book. She also fears death. Unfortunately for Umary she knows peace never lasts and her dreams will never come true and she will undoubtedly die in battle. Combat reports.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Chieko, as the youngest child, always feels like she has something to prove. She's usually quite grumpy and takes everything way too seriously. She's always getting into fights with her sisters or her teammates. She doesn't much care what other people think of her as long as they acknowledge she's the strongest in her family. Her fierce drive pushes her harder then her sisters. Her default reaction in battle it to punch it until it stops moving. The only one who can curb her violent reactions is Umary. Despite Chieko's unhappy disposition she loves her family very much. Her true goal is to protect them, though she'll deny it to her last breath. 【History】 Chieko was the last child to be born to her parents. Shortly after she was born her mother left on a mission leaving her to be raised by her sister. This lead Chieko to believe that she wasn't worth it, that she was weak somehow. When she was young her mother took a break from being a shinobi and took back over the household. Her father did not. It wasn't until she hit her teens that her father was around regularly. When he is home he spends more time with her sister Umary, who inherited his power set. Which Chieko resents. In her younger years she'd push herself to become better. Sometimes she'd vanish for days before returning with a new skill, be it tai- or nin-. She was always a challenging person. Always unhappy with her own skills and viewing herself as never being good enough. She ran Noriko around and tried her best to give her eldest sister white hair. During her absences Chieko saw first hand that the Confederation wasn't all knowing and good. She saw injustice and ended up joining the Red Sages. Despite being two years younger than Umary she became a Chunin at the same time. She will tell anyone who will listen that Umary only passed because she had Chieko on her team. Becoming a Chunin was a proud achievement in Chieko's book. And indeed, it was a proud time for her family. Her Eldest sister then challenged her to make it to a Jounin before she did. Chieko started to make a good effort on her goal. Until the day she left to official join the Red Sages. One day a few weeks ago she packed a small bag and left without a word. Even though she knew it would cause her family pain. But it was the only way to keep them safe. If they knew she defected worse might happen to them. 【Family ties】 Chieko was raised in part by her sister Noriko and her mother. Both treated her more like a student than a daughter. She always felt that they never thought she was good enough. She also resented her father for paying attention only to Umary.

Description: An overall simple move that is generally taught to genin to assist in generating and controlling chakra for the sake of ninjutsu, the shinobi vents electric chakra from his entire body, causing anyone that touches or attacks him to receive minor electrical shocks and burns. Requires the user to not move while preforming this jutsu. Jutsu name: Raikou Boruto no Jutsu (Lightning Release: Lightning Bolt Technique) Rank: C Range: Medium/Long Description: A simple technique in concept and execution, in which the user performs the necessary handseals and then emits a short bolt of lightning from his or her hand. This is a simple bolt, akin to a fireball, as opposed to being a continuous stream. On impact, the target will suffer minor electric shocks. Jutsu name: Seiteki Chikara no Jutsu (Lightning Release: Static Force) Rank: D Range: At what range is this technique useful? You can measure this in 'long' 'medium' or 'short' but those are rather vague. If you want more depth, use a distance such as meters. Description: This jutsu utilizes electricity in order to create static electricity within the hands, this static electricity can have nearby things float to the users hands or repel things away with their hands. This jutsu is not offensive. It uses a lot of chakra if Cheiko wants it to be very strong. Jutsu name: Raiton: Yaiba no Jutsu (Lightning Release: Blade Technique) Rank: C Range: Short Description: This skill allows the user to charge chakra in the form of electricity in the palm. Then, the chakra eventually works up to the fingers, where a blade of electricity is formed between the index and middle finger. The blade is very thin, and depending on the user's chakra, anywhere from 8 inches to a foot long. It is around 2 to 3 inches wide, and it lacks a hilt. The blade is held between the fingers, but as soon as it is let go, the blade vanishes into thin air. The strength of this blade isn't as strong as a normal blade, as it is nowhere as dense or as heavy. But because the blade is very thin, it is capable of doing some major damage, if used properly. Jutsu name: Hikuhiku Eda no Jutsu (Twitching Limb Technique) Rank: C Range: Short/ Contact Description: After the user channels a large amount of electricity in to his hand, making the chakra visible, the user can attack a specific body area of his opponent and fire electricity into it once. Whatever area is struck the muscles immediately begin to constrict and twitch in extreme pain and causes the limb to be unable to move. Jutsu name: Denki Hifu no Jutsu (Electric Skin Technique) Rank: C Range: Short/Contact Description: Upgrade from Heki no Jutsu. Making a simple couple of hand signs the user makes sparks travel along their skin to power up lightning type jutsu's for 5 minutes. This move also makes it very difficult to make contact with the user for the danger of being severely electrocuted. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon name: Kunai. Weapon type: Knife Description: It's a throwing knife. Weapon name: Ninja Throwing Star Description: It's a throwing star.
51,135	1,381	42	1,221	49	(Damn Transforming Fuck) Tanji Tsugiharu Somewhere about the Village's Alleys and Roadways, Konoha Ame-Suna Border, Harvest Festival Tsugi had spent the good part of the next hour or so helping around the small-folk as much as he can, a task rather daunting for he knew very little of medicine other than the very basics of first aid. Many had burns and small cuts, others sported minor concussions and sprained limbs, but some unlucky few were hanging around death's front-yard, unsure if they should go knock. And to these few unfortunate souls he could do very little but offer a shoulder and a first-aid kit in assistance before actual medical ninjas arrived to pick up on his incompetence. Still he roamed around, his haze clones long been dismissed, seeking others. Honestly, this wasn't in his job description, technically it was as he was just a contract ninja, but for the few months he had been assigned posts gathering intelligence. For the sake of such, he had liberally applied his brand interrogation genjutsu on any Red Sage he was able to incapacitate, but they were small fry. They simply had vague accounts on masked recruiters telling them of a planned assult and distributing Red Arm bands all the while making sure the were ready. All information that were painfully obvious now. Still patrolling the streets and his mind heavy with hypothesis and speculation on the attacks he still failed to notice the minuscule drain on his chakra as he sported around a Hyuga's form. All the while running atop the roofs of buildings he turned to spot some victorious looking Shinobi of the proud confederacy. His eyes brightened a bit knowing other loyal citizens were doing their part to assist the citizenry. He landed beside the 2 and gave a quiet smile and wave. He spoke in succinct, short, soft, but amicable sentences, "Comrades. You do the Confederacy proud. For that you have my respect. The battle is nearly won," he noticed the Tall-Redhead female staring into the Direction of Central Command and continued "In short time the Central Compound will also be secure." He noticed the incapacitated Red Sages on the ground, he glared at the traitors and got to work tying their limbs and body with rope, afterwards mumbling "This will not take long." He was quick about it, this task being a common practice in his work. He awoke the traitors making sure they knew what situation they had themselves in, and placed a firm palm upon their foreheads and began the process of his Interrogation Jutsu. The traitors eyes slowly rolled to the back of their heads as Tsugi's will were enforced on their own, the Jutsu's main purpose was gathering information, but a side benefit of having to breakdown the mental barriers was that if too much force was applied, can leave the victim's mind scarred and battered making them too fearful and weak willed to have anymore traitorous thoughts. They struggled for a short bit, but Tsugi was well enough a master in these arts; they can scream and protest all they want, but traitors need to be broken.	“I think he's dead -er, well, everybody else think he is, but now I'm not sure.” An unassuming man by most standards, not impressive or lacking in most aspects, just simply there. Short, if a bit rustled, brown hair, with a square face free of any scars or blemishes and average everyday brown eyes, in the academy you wouldn't really notice him in the sea of exceptional talent, but he gets by.Not particularly skinny, tall, muscular, just a healthy and acceptable male in his early 20's. Probably not going to amount to much beyond being a low-tier Jonin if he's lucky. Probably. Personnel files.

Tanji Tsugiharu has exhibited little to no extreme beliefs or jarring idiosyncrasies (which in itself might be one). The Confederacy has deemed him a loyal citizen of the state. He has a positive work ethic, follows rules and regulations to the letter save for the most exceptional situation (of which he has been disciplined and reprimanded as per the law). He is as kind and self-less as any bachelor of the confederacy is and is devoted to his position. 【Personality】 Rather mundane. Pleasant enough in many social interactions, and prefers to follow conversations rather than lead them himself. That said he has some good friends back in his home town and has made a decent few in his new post. Amicable to his clients, but oddly stoic and unfeeling when it comes to dealing with traitors and rebels. He prefers to spend his free time drinking with close friends in a quiet homely tavern or ramen shop, and has an odd fixation with karaoke. When off duty he spends his days with his small family back in his home town. In battle he is as serious as any good shinobi should be in those situations. He is selfless in his duty to the confederacy and has volunteered to be bait on multiple occasions on the condition that the battle ends quickly afterwards. When plans fail and battles are drawn out he doesn't panic too much, but 9 times out of 10 will opt to lead or support a withdrawal. "Live to fight another day." 【History】 Tsugiharu's parents were simple Chunin Guards with a Customs House on a major trade route, their duties were rather mundane and drool, but once in a while held excitement when travelers had disagreements with the customsofficer. The couple resided in a modest home after an unplanned pregnancy had made the two man and wife. It was tough going at first but the relative isolation and non-relevancy of the village made for a peaceful life, and they grew content and able with the new family. 14 years after the birth of their first son, and with much more financial stability the 2 deemed themselves ready for another son. The Tanji house lived peacefully for 3 more years until the dissent and turmoil of the Confederacy reached their village leading to a violent terrorist attack on the village's crossroads leading to their deaths. This left the 17 year old boy to care for his young brother, fortunately the Proprietor of the Customs House, who at that point was now an old family friend offered to shelter the 2 orphans until the 18th birthday of the elder brother who decided to not rely on the kindness of the Customs Master any longer. Such the 2 siblings lived in a shabby apartment the elder supporting the small family as a Customs House guard like his parents. He, Tanji Hamurato, would continue to support (and sometimes spoil) his younger brother as he took his own wife(Tanji Orimoto) and had a daughter (Tanji Ekka) of their own while was just starting high-school. Tsugiharu was an average student in his own right never excelling or lacking in any field or discipline. He was studious and forthwith at the academy but never went above or beyond what was required. His work as a Genin in his squad was also mundane sticking to class D and lower missions, in exception to one class C defense contract. Simply tasked with defending a local tavern from extorting thugs (non-shinobi rabble), the mission report told of the 3 genin having to deal with some thugs as the accompanying Jonin talked with the owners, but nothing really came out of it. However rumors that local gangster being rather jumpy, defensive and generally paranoid around small sounds and shadows circulated around the tavern's area. Come the Chunin exams though he displayed adept problem solving and leadership skills within his squad, but that might have just been in need rather than by ambition. He opted to remain quarrel-less and jovial with the other Genin and never really showed exceptionaltalent other than what was required to get through the trials. However it can be noted that during the elimination tournament that the young Tanji employed some rather harsh and quick measures using poisons, weapons and simple genjutsus to end matches before his opponents can truly pull out their trump cards. A good thing too, for the proctors had stated that if not for his "bag of cheap tricks" his opponents would have easily out-classed him had the fight dragged on. He was unceremoniously given the rank of Chunin, barely passing after having been defeated by the more Capable Genin that saw through his ruses in the final rounds of the tournament. After graduating opted to become a Contract work Shinobi unlike his family before him. He takes missions for the Confederacy as many times as he can, but seems to seek missions pertaining to the rooting out and apprehension of dissident and unloyal citizens and terrorists. Currently lives by himself in a modest apartment close to his work place. 【Family ties】 Lower-Middle Class, had some hardships for sure, but was never truly in danger of starving or dying of exposure. Such a life made Tsugiharu rather humble and soft-spoken. Hopes to keep up with his duties and occasionally visits his brother and his family. Tanji Hamurato \| Elder Brother \| (36), Kusagakure, Currently a guard at a customs house. Sanguine, always optimistic and smiling in many situations. Tanji Orimoto \| Sister-in-Law \| (35), Kusagakure, Housewife of Hamurato, Choleric, rather plain but has the charm of a country girl going for her. Demure and rather quiet in contrast to her husband. Tanji Ekka\| Niece \| 9, Kusagakure, Student, Mercurial, tempermental and extremely competitive. A bit of a tomboy and a much more naturally talented than her father and uncle in the academy. 【Dreams and fears】 Dreams of finally bringing the traitors and belligerents of the Confederacy to justice and hopes to finally see peace and order to the state. Fears of losing his family to the dangers that is the enemies of the Confederacy. Combat reports. Has a quite odd fighting style and might be the epitome of "work smarter not harder." Picks and chooses his engagements when he knows the enemy may be taken down quickly and with minimal loss. This usually ends up with him or a squad-mate in grievous condition so long the opponent is taken out before unnecessary damage is done to anybody else. Such operations usually include him stringing together a myriad of feints, illusions and gambits to ensure the enemy can be taken down in one decisive attack by his squad rather than prolonged engagements. This unfortunately makes him rather sub-par when caught unawares. As such he is most delegated to planned attacks on high value targets to either eliminate, apprehend or interrogate 【Fighting style】 Some might call his methods cowardice but it has kept him alive. He employs the liberal use of clones supplemented by heavy use of false sounds and images using his specialized study in illusionary genjustsu. He chips away at his opponents using small thrown weapons like shurikens and senbons to keep his opponent on edge and unfocused. While his genjutsu gives ample distractions and false visions he also uses fine rope and bells tied to said weapons to create snares and distractions for the slim but inevitable chance that his opponent finally makes a mistake. When they do he delivers a powerful and dibilitating poisons through the same methods as above when the opponent finally opens themselves up to receive his limited supply. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 NONE 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Bringer of Darkness Technique B rank techniques: Demonic Bells: Phantom Sound Chains (Uses a Network of Tuned Bells strung onto ropes to create a melody rather than a flute) Interrogation Genjutsu C rank techniques: Earth Release: Underground Projection Fish Technique.

Can be dispelled as normal genjutsu can. Single target per cast (but can be casted on multiple targets). Also relies on the opponent being knowledgeable enough to make the sounds realistic (or not realistic) as possible. Jutsu name:Shadow Weapon Rank: C Short (Before throwing or using weapon): Description: Hide a small thrown weapon in the shadow of another item as it is being thrown. Not a summoned weapon, typically can be countered simply by opponent witnessing the actual weapon being thrown shortly after the concealing weapon is thrown, and dodging for 2 projectiles rather than 1. Additionally the weapon cannot transfer between shadows and becomes a normal seen projectile after the shadow is passed. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Senbon Weapon, tool or object type: Thrown Projectile Description:Small thin and light weapon the looks similar to sewing needles.

51,136	1,381	43	1,428	199	Masato Saruwatari At the Harvest Festival, Confederate Masato took a deep breathe, though he had to resist the urge to close his eyes during the action, collecting his thoughts after what appeared to be a clone decided to jump into the fray. While he did appreciate the assistance he was upset by the fact that the boy had risked not only their safety but the safety of the civilians as well with the ball of lava that had been launched at their opponent. His discontentment with the situation likely would have been less severe if the jutsu had destroyed it’s intended target, but once everything calmed down it was clear that the enemy shinobi had replaced himself. Now not only did the clone use a fairly dangerous technique, but they also had no idea where their foe had ran off to. If he ever ran into the confederate shinobi whose clone had acted so recklessly he would have some choice words for him. Focusing his mind back to the present concern, Masato flicked four fingers of his right hand as he spoke. ”Assassin, return to me and stand down.” While the last part may not have seemed necessary he had rarely used the Assassin in a live combat exercise and was unsure how specific his instructions needed to be, and he was unwilling to risk it continuing to be in an offensive state. Fortunately the construct obeyed his commands exactly, returning to his side at a rapid speed and sheathing it’s tanto before going into an inactive state. Breathing a momentary sigh of relief he began scanning the nearby buildings hoping to catch even a glimpse of their adversary. While doing so he couldn’t help but wish, not for the first time, that he had any skill as a sensor as it would make things so much easier. His search was interrupted however by the approach of both the kunoichi that had aided him as well as the civilians, who it turned out had not made it that far and apparently believed that the safest place for them was with him and the red haired woman. After she finished with her questions Masato smiled slightly while bowing his head. ”I am Masato Saruwatari, thank you for your assistance. If you believe there is somewhere you are needed more then I will not ask you to stay. I have confidence in my Assassin, if our foe returns it will be able to keep him busy at the very least. Before you go though may I ask your name?” Before he could get a response from his companion they were joined by yet another shinobi, this one however was one of theirs. Masato took in all of the information given to them by their new ally and gave him a slight head bow as well. ”This is welcome news, though I find it hard to believe that things will swing in our favor as easily as your words convey. We must remember that our adversaries are fighting for a cause that they would give their lives for. That kind of dedication cannot be underestimated.” With his piece said, and the other male turning his attention to the two men that had been dealt with earlier, Masato turned his focus back on the flame haired kunoichi.	Lost's Retinue of Surprisingly Not Stereotypical Shinobi. “There is nothing more satisfying than seeing your strategy succeed.” Masato is an average looking individual, he isn't one of those that could easily be picked out a crowd. He stands right around 5'9 and weighs 140 lbs. His choice of clothing also isn't unique, aside from the Chuunin vest that he wears at all times he is dressed in plain t-shirts that vary in color from white to slightly darker white and dark gray jeans. In colder weather he will wear the jacket that is seen above. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Masato Saruwatari 【Alias】 N/A for now 【Affiliation】 The Hamajō Confederation 【Age】 18 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Straight 【Birthplace】 Konohagakure 【Bloodline】 Saruwatari 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Masato is best described as a cool and distant individual, however this attitude is not a method of preventing bonds or anything related it was simply how he was raised. He is fully capable of affection his method of showing it is just dialed down more so than most. In his own way he is very passionate even if it doesn't translate well to the outside world. When talking about his family, chess, etc there is a distinct gleam in his eyes if one would look close enough. In line with his base personality Masato approaches negative scenarios with a level head, analyzing every thing that makes up the event before he decides what his reaction will be. While at first this makes him seem insincere, and even colder, this is not the case. He simply knows that emotions can cause one to overreact and does his best to avoid doing so. 【History】 To say that Masato had a childhood would be a vast exaggeration of the early years in his life. Before he was able to read his parents would spend the entire day reading to him, but they never read from children's books. Instead he listened to them read page after page of books written by strategist from long ago. His family had always been known for their intelligence, and his parents were determined to follow that legacy. As soon as he could read on his own his days were consumed by it, though the topics ended up becoming more varied ranging from mathematics to poetry. Once he entered school Masato excelled for quite some time, partially due to his parents tutoring him at home during this time. However when he reached the age of 10 and was given the chance to graduated it was pulled away from him. While initially the school thought it would be fine to push him forward they soon discovered that his taijutsu was not up to the task and he ended up having to go through another year of school before progressing. This set back discouraged him for a time, but this vanished shortly once his parents began to teach him their Hiden jutsu moveset. His last year at this level of schooling went by quickly as much of his time outside of it was spent learning his family's signature jutsu. While he had been at the top of his class during his younger years he fell behind a bit when he advanced to the next level, though that had nothing to do with the material being too dificult. More and more of his time was being devoted to his extracurricular studies and he simply didn't have time to do all of the work assigned to him. This naturally lead him to falling out of his position at the top but he did not care in the slightest, nor did his parents since he was progressing through their training at a rapid pace. He ended up graduating at the age of 15 and was promoted to the rank of Chunnin as expected. Since then he has divided his time between taking on missions and furthering his control and skill with his jutsu, with much more attention being given to the latter. 【Family ties】 He is the only child in his household and he has a very close bond with both his mother and father. The Saruwatari family are very close and rather reclusive, though this is mainly due to the fact that they enjoy activities that are typically carried out in seclusion and not out of a dislike for the company of others. Hatta Saruwatari \| Father \| 45, Resides on the Family's property on the outskirts of Konoha, Retired Shinobi Diao Saruwatari \| Mother \| 39, Same as above, Active Jounin 【Dreams and fears】 Masato wants nothing more than to contribute to his family's legacy and prove that he is worthy of doing so. Naturally his greatest fear is falling short of this and fading into obscurity or worse damning the Saruwatari name to the point that it is meaningless. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Outside of his signature jutsu moveset, Masato is inept at almost every aspect of fighting. When his opponent manages to close the distance and engage in close quarter combat he is forced to rely on dodging until he can intercept his opponent with one of his constructs. 【Hiden】 Hiden: Construct Army Description: Construct Army is a Jutsu that was created by the Saruwatari family many years ago. The user is able to summon a number of different constructs, the exact types differ not only between people but it also depends on what avenues of the jutsu the particular individual pursues. These constructs are in essence non-sentient summons that obey the user completely, though this obedience varies on a couple of factors that will be described later in each individual summon's section. While most of the construct types are discovered through careful study of one of the numerous scrolls that have been passed down every once in a great while a new one will be discovered, after which it is then recorded in either a scroll that has not been filled or in a new one. The constructs are controlled by either vocal commands, movement based commands, or a combination of the two. Strengths: While each type of construct has it's own strengths the universal strength of this Hiden is it's versitility. The individual strengths of each type will be described in their section. Weaknesses: Much like the strengths each type of construct has it's own weaknesses which shall be detailed in their area. However they also all carry a universal weakness and that is that they are completely useless if their user is unable to command them. This can be caused by either preventing them from speaking or moving. In addition the usefullness of the constructs can be hampered if the user's vision is effected, either by targeting the eyes directly or using the environment.. Note about the amounts of Constructs At his current skill level Masato is able to have complete control over a total of 6 C rank constructs, any more than that will lead to a degridation in his control with one exception which will be made obvious shortly. I will now list the total amounts of constructs he can have, including variations. These numbers indicate the max he can have while still retaining complete control over them. 6 C Rank 2 B Rank or 1 B Rank and 3 C Rank 1 A Rank Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Footsoldier Construct Rank: C Rank Range: Close range, must be within blade range. Description: The Footsoldier is one of the four basic constructs that Masato has, and of them it is both the weakest and strongest. This is due to the fact that it is average in all areas, while the other three each of a specialization. The Footsoldier is equipped with a simple katana and basic armor. It has decent defence against blunt force attacks while it is weak to piercing strikes. Jutsu name: Shieldbearer Construct Rank: C Rank Range: N/A Description: As the name implies the Shieldbearer Construct is a defense construct that's primary goal is to defend Masato. They come equipped with a large shield and heavy armor. This naturally upsets their movement speed making them the slowest of the base constructs. They have very high defense against blunt force attacks and reasonable defense against piercing ones, however either can destroy them if they land on an unarmored/low armored area though the piercing is more likely to do so. These areas are the same you would find in most armors, the joints, the neck, and the eyes. Given their defensive specialization they have no method of dealing damage. Jutsu name: Bombarder Construct Rank: C Rank Range: Close in the sense that they must be aligned with their target, but they can be very high above them. Description: The Bombarder Construct is the only one of the four basic ones that does not stand on the ground, it is also the only one that is not humanoid. Instead it is shaped like a small bird. Of the basic constructs it is the fastest but it also has the weakest defense needing to take only one hit in order to be destroyed. The Bombardier's purpose is to fly over the enemy and drop an explosive that has the blast range and power equal to that of a regular explosive tag. They can only drop one at a time and afterwards they have to go on a 'cooldown' in order to create another one. Jutsu name: Archer Construct. Rank: C Rank Range: Most effective at Medium range but can strike from Long distance with a decrease in accuracy. Description: The Archer Construct is the final of the basic 4 and it focuses on distance attacks with the use of a bow. It is the second weakest in terms of defense, though the difference between it and the Bombardier is very small. Unless the strike hit's one on the arm or leg it only takes one hit to destroy it. Each construct has a quiver filled with 25 arrows. They do not carry any melee weapons as they are designed to stay outside of the range of their target. Jutsu name: Drill Sergeant. Rank: C Rank Range: N/A. Description: The Drill Sergeant allows Masato to have an additional 2 C Rank constructs on the field without a loss of control. This means that if he wished he could use 6 Drill Sergeants in order to double the amount of C rank constructs he can use. However if the Drill Sergeant is destroyed he will lose that increased control immediately and will have to get rid of the extra constructs or risk disobedience. In addition he can only use the initial 6 Drill Sergeants at most, he can not use them to control additional Drill Sergeants. The construct itself is between the Footsoldier and the Shieldbearer in terms of defense, it wears no armor but is highly durable. It would take two blows that would be fatal to a human to destroy it, or 4 in non lethal locations. Of course this can be decreased to one if it loses it's head. Jutsu name: Assassin Rank: B Rank Range: This model requires extreme close range to be at it's most effective. Description: The Assassin is the fastest of all of his current constructs, while also by far the stealthiest capable of masking its presence from lesser skilled Chunnin down. It has very weak defenses, equal to that of the Bombarder, but it is highly skilled in close quarter combat. It's agility allows it to dodge and parry for quite sometime while it attempts to make an opening to land a killing blow. It is equipped with a tanto and dark clothing. Jutsu name: The General Rank: A Rank Range: Close range. Description: As its rank would indicate The General is the strongest of Masato's current constructs. While most of the other constructs stand right around Masato's height, with the exception of the Bombarder, The General stands at 6'3. He is equipped with a stronger katana than the footsoldier and armor that is equal to that of the Shieldbearer. His movement speed is still hindered but not to the degree of the Shieldbearer. With his armor and durability it takes seven solid hits to destroy him, but like most of the others this can be circumvented. In the Case of The General if he is his directly in the eye he will either be disabled or completely destroyed.
51,137	1,381	44	1,918	8,262	Akio Tendou Hamajo Confederate, Engaging Rebels Akio cursed under her breath as her opponent escaped using Substitution jutsu. The white haired jounin didn't have much time to wonder about where she went, as the rebel leader had appeared above withheld fist drawn back to deliver a punch to her head. Not much for Taijutsu in the best of circumstances, Aiko quickly dodged away from the attack, just barely avoiding the hit by the skin of her teeth. And by the looks of the damage she did to the roof with the punch, it was quite the strike. She didn't have time to rest, however, as she was soon faced with a hail of shurikens hurtling towards her as she backed away. Luckily, the building wasn't very large and this she fell over the side of the building, flipping over in the air until she landed on the ground below, reinforcing her legs with chakra to ensure they could withstand the force of the fall. She had barely caught the silverette's words, but she'd heard enough to get rather annoyed with this younger woman. While she was still hidden behind the building , she ran through a stream of hand seals before holding her hands out in front of her. Heat would soon gather and intensify between her outstretched appendages until she held a glowing sphere of raw heat and energy in her hands, the orange orb pulsating with barely contained power. Now ready to engage, Akio would run out to engage the enemy once again, focusing on Seijo specifically. Her plan was to rush in and smash this orb right into the woman's back, but if anyone got in her way as she made her way forward, she'd be quick to hit then in her place, smacking the orb into them to release the devastating shockwave of heat and power, likely to send the culprit and anyone within the 5m blast radius flying away from her and surely leaving then with more than a slight burn to remember her by. "Katon: Shatter Force!" After launching the attack against Seijo or her underlings, Akio would maneuver attempt to maneuver her away around any who's been able to withstand the blast or defend against it, ultimately resulting to Substitution if need be with the leader herself, before running through another set of hand seals. "Ration: Thunderbolt!" She'd cry out as electricity gathered in her hands before shooting out to strike at evey Red Sage outside of the building with dozens of lightening bolts. After launching the attack, she'd be a little fatigued, the use if several jutsu tiring her a bit, but she'd be ready to react to whatever these rebels through at her next She also couldn't help but respond to Seijo earlier comment as well. "Funny, you took the words right out of my mouth, Seijo. Though I must say, considering what I heard about your late-brother, I was expecting something . . . more. I wonder if you're even half the commander he was, though that didn't get him very far, did it?" She'd spit the woman's name out mockingly before turning to look over at Yakoul, who she had just noticed, an irritated expression spreading across her features as she sent a light glare their way. "Anytime you want to step in would be much appreciated, Yakoul Lazy psychotic cat bastard" The last part she'd say under her voice, not particularly caring if Yakoul heard her muttering a or not as she prep for retaliation. This leader didn't seem to be the cool headed type to think things through, so maybe she could use that to her advantage to draw things out until Confederation reinforcements show up, or something of that manner that would let them capture/kill the so called "Lady Commander" of the Red Sages. What a stupid title. [@Any other Red Sages in the area of this fight	Name: Katon: Phoenix Egg Bomb(Subject to change) Rank: A Range: Mid Description: After making the needed hand seals, Akio conjures up a concentrated inferno of blazing heat, focusing it over her palm. It'll take a post for this jutsu to charge up, but when it does the flames will take on a egg-like shape as Akio thrusts her hand out to launch it at her foes. Upon impact with an object, the egg will explode with a huge amount of force and intense white hot heat. The radius of the explosion would be somewhere between 5-10m, though the intense heat can be felt from much farther away, burning skin, drying up moisture in the air, and causing fatigue through dehydration if an enemy is caught near the edge of the blast. The explosion itself takes the form of a phoenix rising high into the sky. The flames that the explosion created will stay for about 2 posts, however, the heat lessening by a great deal until it finally fizzes out. At this point, Aoi can use this jutsu with little strain, upping her usage to about 6 times before it starts to take it's toll. Seiteki Suji no Jutsu (Static Strings Technique) Rank:D Description: This skill allows the user to create strings of electricity that can either act physically as strings, or as a medium that can send small shocks to an opponent. One of this technique's most useful features is its ability to allow the user to detect outsiders. When the strings are placed around an area, they are often fairly difficult to see, and unnoticed by the quick eye. But when the string is used to detect outsiders, they can adapt a quality that is string-like and electrical at the same time. This quality makes the static strings into a string of electricity, but with such a weak current that it is rarely noticed by Shinobi who accidentally walk through the strings. However, when this happens, the user at once will feel a small shock in their fingers, or where ever else they are keeping the strings intact. But unless the opponent felt the weak current as they walked through the strings, the opponent will usually never know the strings were there. But beyond its ability to detect outsiders, this skill can be used as a normal string when it is needed but none is around, or it can be used to create small shocks to other people. However, the shocks are only a little bit stronger than static electricity, and usually do no damage at all. Jutsu Name: Raiton: Thunder Bow Rank B Range Mid to Long Can be fired at a target up to a 100m away Description: Akio forms a bow out of lightning chakra, from which she can draw back and fire bolts of electricity from, the amount of power dealt depending on how long she holds it for. A quick draw only does a low-medium amount of damage and has no lingering effects. A Charged shot, which takes about 1 post to form up, does a fair deal more damage and will leave the target temporarily stunned if direct contact is made. The charged shot can also be split into four homing shots, which'll lock onto the opponents chakra signature. These only do slightly more damage than a quick shot on their own, but if all three hit the same target, then the damage can be even greater than a charged shot and can explode out to damage foes within a meter of the target. Akio can now fire a detonation shot with a charged up bolt, which is less powerful overall, but can paralyze a whole group of individual for a few moments. She can also create a piercing shot, which has more focused electrical energy for more power and damage, but has reduced ranged as well, only being able to go about half as far as a normal charged shot. The piercing shot can pierce through most standards armors and defensive jutsu of equal rank or lower, not including elemental weakness into play, in which it can probably partially get through lower A-rank Earth Style Jutsu and be halted by upper C rank Wind Style jutsu. Static strings can be attached to the quick fire shots, so that if they hit, the user can hold the foe in place by running a constant stream of electricity through it, locking her muscles in place. If this is done, neither Akio nor the target can move so it's not a good move for one on one, but good for lining up holding an enemy in place for another teammate to take down. Edit: Through training, Akio has managed to work down the weakness of her static strings down so that only one of her limbs is paralyzed and not her whole body, meaning that she won't be able to form jutsu while holding a foe down, but she can still move, dodge attacks, and counterattack reasonable well, though she still has to be able to keep some focus on the connection while moving, or else it'll break, thus she won't be able to move as fast as she normally could. Katon: Myaku Hitofuki no Jutsu (Fire Release: Pulse Blast Technique) Rank: B Range: Close to Mid Description: An extremely useful jutsu, this one has the effect of flushing out or separating multiple opponents. Hurling a fireball about the size of a basketball, it is meant to be dodged in order to be effective. For at center of this fireball is a gaseous core which, when the spherical attack finally makes contact with something, will explode and this gas will expand rapidly in a loud bang. The bang is simply a precursor though, as instantly afterwards a sharp concussive force will issue out all around the center of the blast. Though the explosion of the attack itself is not very strong, the force it sends out is enough to knock anyone who is within a certain radius of it flying. Katon: Kudakasei no Jutsu (Fire Release: Shatter Force Technique) Rank: A Range: Close Range technique, with the base diameter of the blast radius being around 5 meters Description: Built upon the principles of Katon: Myaku Hitofuki no Jutsu, this technique instead acts as a much more powerful, centralized version. Gathering heat in between both hands the user focuses it until it cannot be condensed further. Manifested as a sphere of raw, glowing energy it is at first held at bay as if only for show. Then, given any cue, the user slams the sphere into the ground, causing it to explode with the power of pure heat behind it. The user is unaffected by this burst of power, but anyone within the radius of the blast suffers some unsettling consequences alongside the devastating concussive force it sends forth. This technique, by sheer strength alone, has even been known to crack boulders. Separate effects of the jutsu are that the intense heat dehydrates any opponents caught within the radius of the blast, drawing them closer to fatigue, blurring their vision and causing mild headaches all the while. Minor, first-degree burns may also result from this technique. Jutsu Name: Raiton: Raikou Hitofuki no Jutsu (Lightning Release: Lightning Blast Technique) Rank: C Range: Close to Mid Description: This jutsu allows the user to fire off a continuous blast of electrical energy at an opponent, causing only minor burns but a great deal of pain as it courses through the foes system. Jutsu Name: Raiton: Cloak of the Thundering Phoenix Rank: S Range: Self Description: A Variant of the Lightning Armor Jutsu, this jutsu cloaks the Akio in an intense aura of electricity that takes the form of phoenix around them. While under the influence of this jutsu, Akio's speed, reaction time, and physical attack power gains a substantial increase, though not to the level that is seen by users of the original technique, as well as boosting the power of her Raiton jutsu, thus negating the charge up of her more power Thunder bow attacks. She can also up her mobility on the battlefield by gliding and hovering in the air for short periods of times using the wings this jutsu gives her, though she has yet to achieve true flight using this technique. Finally, the wings can also be formed into a defensive wall at a moments notice, incase she's targeted by an attack she can't dodge, but they can only block a single attack of up to A-rank in power, and Wind Style jutsu of Mid A-rank and higher will always be able to partially get through these defenses. Once the attack has been blocked, the wings will disperse and Akio will spend the remainder of the jutsu's duration moving at a reduced speed compared to before, though still noticeably faster than her base speed, as well as no longer being able to hover or glide due to the loss of her wings. This jutsu duration is for about 6 posts, though it can be lengthened to up to 9 by feeding more chakra into it, though this worsens the drawback once the jutsu ends. After the base duration runs out, her entire body will become numb and cause her speed and reaction time to drop as a result. This lasts for about three posts, but if she lengthened it, it can lengthen to about 6 posts and only allows her to move at a third of her base speed. If she tries to go over that limit, though possible, it will result in her body becoming completely paralyzed, as well as the obvious threat of chakra exhaustion. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon: Shuriken Description: A basic tool every ninja should have, it can be lethal if it hits a vital spot, but they are also good in creating some space for the fighter. Tool: Chakra Pill Description: Weapon: Kunai Description: A basic tool every ninja should have, it's the only weapon Akio has when it comes to CQC fighting. Weapon: Tanto Description: A short, straight, single edged dagger that has no point and is used primarily for slashing attacks. Weapon: Ninja Wire Description: A strong metal wire that can be used in various ways. Weapon: Senbon Description: A precision tool that, despite it's low lethality, can be very effective in slowing down and paralyzing an opponent if they are placed in the right place. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 After the war and her break-up with Aoi, Akio has become a very emotionally withdrawn individual, focusing only on either training or her duties as a shinobi, and spending very little time socializing with others anymore. While she still has the sarcastic remark or joke ready whenever it's needed, she no longer talks with people in depth. If they try to get to know her personally, she'll either redirect the conversation away from herself or just shut down, not speaking another word until the person gets the message and leaves her alone. Along with this, Akio has developed a bit of a drinking habit, not a terrible one, but noticeable. She always tends to have one bottle of some form of liquor on her when not on a mission, and she can be a bit cranky at times on missions due to the fact that she can't drink while on the job, a self-imposed rule so that her habit never interferes with her work. On really bad days, however, one could find Akio totally hammered in her home, in which she becomes a depressive, self-loathing mess that is constantly asking people to comfort her and listen to her problems, as well as provide . . . other forms of relief. 【History】 Before the massacre, her life wasn't really that great as her father saw her as nothing as a mistake and an embarrassment for two reasons. The first is that she was a bastard child, a mark of shame on his honor as the Tendou family patriarch, though it was that same honor that duty bound him to take the child in, as her mother had died during childbirth. The second reason was that she was never good enough, and while she wasn't the most skilled of individuals, she was still rather good, some would say better than most. But it was never enough for Akira Tendou, he demanded perfection, and severely punished those who did not meet his requirements. And as she hardly ever did, she was often met with scorn from her father, who never once acknowledged her as his daughter. And while that should've devastated her, she didn't find herself minding too much. She never once considered Akira Tendou as her father in the sense that he was a man to come to with her woes, worries, and needs, as that regard went to her older brother, Kokatsu. Ever since she came into their home, Kokatsu was extremely protective of her, getting into several fights with Akira and most of them ending in some sort of violence. Since she was young, she never got to see Kokatsu darker side, and she believes that he wanted to keep it that way as he made extreme efforts to avoid telling her about his job in any specific detail. He also expressed some sorrow when it became apparent that she was going to be joining the Shinobi forces, though never actively spoke out against it, unlike her father who was certain that she'd never pass and if she did, never make it pass a lowly genin. If things had continued as normal, then he may have been right, for even she had begun to doubt her self and her reasons for becoming a ninja, of whether she was ready for the life they lived. But instead, soon after her seventh birthday, all hell broke loose. A ceremony was held, as Akira had decided to pass on his position as Clan Patriarch to his son, claiming he had never been prouder for him. Kokatsu took the Tendou blade(an artifact past down from Patriarch to Patriarch since before the elemental nations were even concieved) and, with a smile as bright as the sun, slew his father where he stood, dropping the weapon to perform a quick string of handsigns before slamming his fingers into the fresh corpse. An eerie red light rose from the ground around him, and it was until many months after the event that she would hear that at the time, seals popped up all throughout the city. And so it was that Kokatsu opened a portal between this world and a world of darkness to unleash death upon all who lived within it. Only a single order was given, spare the children of the Tendou clan, they had done no wrong. And so it was that behind a veil of darkness, hundreds if not thousands died horrid, painful deaths, all the while a menacing laugh would echo through out it all. When the barrier fell and the demons fled, Kokatsu held out his hand for Akio to grab, only for her to flinch away, looking at her blood trenched sibling in horror. Akio couldn't remember a time where her brother had looked more hurt then at that time, and yet she also couldn't remember a time where he seemed more relieved. He offered no pressure or force, just left without a word, and leaving her alone in a nightmare of blood, death, and sorrow. After the event, the Tendou children were taken in and eventually handed over to adoptive parents to raise them. Of those children, four would go insane from the trauma of what they witnessed as they grew up, one even committing suicide after slaughtering his adoptive parents. Tendou children where treated with a mix of pity, fear, and for Akio, hatred. Given how closely related she was to Kokatsu, there were people, kids especially, who would take out their grief of lost loved ones out on her. This made it hard for her to trust and approach people, and also made it so she hated her features that so easily gave her away. But in the midst of these hardships, an ember began to burn bright with newly discovered passion. She developed a burning drive to train herself, to become as strong as possible. She was able to pass the academy with only minor difficulties, and did her best in her genin missions no matter what the they were. However, in the early years of her life, this passion nearly consumed her, as she withdrew from everyone, constantly running herself into the ground, and then some, for a reason that she wasn't even sure of. In actuality, she felt partially to blame for what happened to Kokatsu, thinking in her subconscious mind that if she had somehow been there for him more, it could've been avoided. As life went on, however, she found herself to be taken unde the wing of Tsukiko Umene. The older jonin would drop by from time to time to check up on her, and if she felt it necessary, beat her in to shape. While at first Akio resented the woman, she eventually began to grow more attached to her as time went on, to the point where she thinks of the wild woman as the big sister she never had. Due to Tsukiko's influence, Akio began to open up to other people a little more and try to overcome her weaknesses. Also because of Tsukiko, the young Tendou can tend to have a rather vivid and imaginative vocabulary when sufficiently angered or upset, as well as having a bit of a nasty temper. As of now, she's living in a rented apartment in downtown, having moved away from her foster parents the moment she became a genin, never to speak to them again. The war was a defining moment in Akio's life . . . and not for the better. while she wasn't a stranger to loss or violence, she had never felt in the scale that she had in the war. Many good friends died in the fighting, only to die in vain as the Confederation came to rule everything. However, instead of being filled with anger and indignation, she just felt broken and afraid. As she recovered, she began to withdraw from the world, drinking more often, and geting into fights with her girlfriend Aoi, until it finally culminated in Akio breaking it off in a fit of drunken passion. She immediately regretted it afterwards, but instead of going after her and begging forgiveness, she simply let the relationship die. Despite still having strong feelings for Aoi, she just didn't want to feel the pain of losing her, imagining that it'd be worse than anything else she'd ever experienced. Since she couldn't force Aoi to stop being a kunoichi, she decide that it'd be best for the two o end their relationship, thinking it'd be easier for both of them in the long run. This belief has long since died in her mind, as she only continues to feel more and more empty inside, but she feels like it's much much too late to fix her mistake. So she lives her days in misery, with her only companions being the alcohol she keeps by her side and the odd stranger that it invites to her bed every so often. 【Family ties】 Akio feels nothing for her family name, and had nothing but fear for her father. Her brother and a few of the braver clan members were the only ones in her family to show her any kindness, though not without punishment. Her foster family after the Massacre were kind at first, but soon grew distant as she showed a great lack in interest in them. After that, they simply ignored her and she ignored them. Not the perfect home, but it was peaceful at least.

As for fears, she still fears losing Aoi, and their separation has only intensified this fear, as now not only will she lose her former lover, but she'll lose any chance for reconciliation.

Add more as needed, remove this line when done. “Uhhh . . . Never Give up? That's a good motto, right?” Tatsuya is tall at around 6'2, and has a rather muscular upper body due to his work in the forge. His hands and arms are covered with numerous scars, burns and callouses due to the work he does every day, but he wears them with pride as they are the symbol of all his hard work. His red eyes come from his father, and shiny red hair comes from his mother. He also has a tattoo on his upper right arm of Ketsui lodged in the mouth of an active volcano. He got it the day he became a Genin as a symbol to never forget the determination it took to get him there, so that no matter how long the road to greatness looked, he'd never give up. His normal clothing style is usually a plain white T-shirt, some jeans and steel toed boots( a nessecity in his profession). He sometimes where a jacket if it;s cold enough for one, but more often than not, that's it for his casual wear. His combat outfit is a black, long sleeve shirt, a jacket over that, black combat pants and shinobi sandals. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Tatsuya Kajiya-Terumi 【Alias】 N/A 【Affiliation】 The Hamajō Confederation, though he does have his doubts and could be swayed to the other side 【Age】 17 【Gender】 Male 【Birthplace】 Konoha 【Bloodline】 Terumi Bloodline 【Rank】 Chunin Psych. report. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Tatsuya is a more weapon-based fighter, specialized in Kenjutsu mostly, as that is the weapon he uses most often, and has the most skill in using. That being said, his Taijutu is serviceable enough that he's not completely defenseless without his weapons, but it'll only do him so well for so long, especially against a skilled Taijutsu fighter. His Ninjutsu is also quite good, with a focus on controlling the battlefield rather than simply blasting his opponents away. Up close, Tatsuya is a very good fighter, but he often has issues against distance opponent unless he can figure out a way to get them to come to him. He can either uses his jutsu to force his foe closer, or takes the battle to them instead. When it comes to using his Kekkei Genkai, he can sometimes use it to distract his opponents by making the ground underneath their feet really hot via forming lava just below the surface. A sneaky, but effective strategy, especially when facing an enemy of a higher skill level than him, as that split second distraction could give him just the edge he needs to either escape, or end a fight. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Lava Release Description: The lava release is a very versatile Kekkei Genkai that has multiple variations and abilities depending on how one uses it. For Tatsuya, he bears an affinity for manipulating volcanic materials like as Magma making a very, very deadly opponent to go up against. His Lava attacks can change the very battlefield, giving him a good amount of Offensive, defensive, and crowd controlling abilities. An added plus to this ability is that one can convert certain earth-style techniques into Lava style ones, at the cost of an increased chakra cost. With some practice, Tatsuya has also been able to create a rubber-like material as well, which he can change the consistency of his chakra to make it work as an adhesive. While he's not skilled enough with it yet to use it in battle, in time it could add to his crowd control and supportive abilities. Tatsuya himself suffers no ill effects from his use of this ability, and seems to have a bit of heat resistance as well, though not enough to make a real difference against a fire jutsu(this doesn't include his own lava, which he's immune to). It's a neat party trick for him to snuff out a cigarette on with his hands, but that's about it. Strengths: The lava style is a highly variable ability, granting nearly unparalleled offensive capability, effective defenses, and crowd control capabilities. Weaknesses: Lava attacks can be effectively countered by a strong enough Water attack, cooling down the magma into rock. Also, this ability is highly destructive, endangering both friend and foe if Tatsuya isn't careful about what abilities he uses and how he uses them. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: B rank techniques: Shadow Clone Jutsu C rank techniques: Fire Release: Crimson Earth Spider Earth Release: Subterranean Voyage D-E rank techniques: 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu Name: Doton: Ishi Yoroi no Ude (Earth Release: Stone Bracers) Rank: D Range: Self Description: By taking dirt and rubbing it on their arms or legs, after performing the necessary hand seals, a shinobi is able to create very durable defensive bracers that add extra protection when using the arms to block. The chakra that is infused in them help to soften the blows of any physical attacks. These are very useful for taijutsu users or to defend against an onslaught of upper body blows. These bracers are designed to block physical attacks only. However, by channeling Yoton Chakra into the Jutsu, the rocks and what not can heat up to a degree that while the burns they cause are minor, they can be extremely painful and distracting to the opponent. Jutsu Name: Tsuchi Tou Tou (Swift Earth) Rank: D, B with the addition of Yoton chakra/used with his Lava Creation Jutsu Range: Current range would be 10 meter at maximum, with 2 meter width, and the earth moves at high speeds Description: When performing this jutsu the user places his hands on the ground and causes it to move rapidly away as if it were a conveyor belt. As the shinobi increases in skill and rank the size, speed, and range of this jutsu all increase. While little more than a delaying tactic, if mixed with Lava Creation, it can create a rather deadly surge of lava heading straight toward the target at high speeds. Jutsu name Lava Style: Lava Creation Rank: B Range: 2 meters in diameter from the starting point Description: The user will first channel chakra into the ground, thus turning the ground to lava. The process is quick, as the ground will melt away into the liquid-like lava. This lava can be used to aid in his other lava based jutsu by creating a source which he can manipulate, instead of creating it himself. To increase the base area that is converted, the user must have both of his hands in contact with the ground. Jutsu Name Lava Style: Lava Spray Rank: B Range: Mid Description: After making the needed handseals, Tatsuya builds up Lava Style chakra inside of his gut before blasting out a jet of molten lava into the air, causing a dangerous and widespread rain of lava droplets to fall to the ground. The spread of this jutsu makes it nearly impossible to dodge, though it can be blocked if the foe has the capability. Alternatively, Tatsuya can also just fire the magma jet directly at the foe in a fast moving stream. Jutsu Name Lava Style: Weapon Creation Rank: D Range: Any active Lava source with in 30 meters Description: The user of this jutsu will first channel chakra into an active source of lava, which will cause it to rise up quickly and making the lava thicker then usual, allowing the user to then mold it into a weapon with a few simple gestures. The weapons created will be about as hard as steel, but are usually rather crude and blunt. Jutsu Name Katon: Nenshou Tosshin (Fire Release: Burning Rush) Rank: C Range: Sphere goes is 2 meters long in diameter Description: A two-part technique in which the user blocks an attack by creating a sphere of fire around themselves, and after blocking the attack, the fires converge on his feet, cloaking them in flames. The fire on his feet can be used twice to launch him at his foes somewhat faster than before. The effect lasts for about 3 posts. Jutsu Name Lava Style: Eruption Rank: A Range: Affected area would be have a diameter of about 25-30 meters, power explosions have a blast radius of about 10 meters(one or two holes), 8 meters for 3 or 4, 4 meters for 5 or 6, 2 meters for 7 or 8. Description: In preparation for this technique, Tatsuya will channel chakra through the earth to create Yoton beneath it's surface over a period of time (2 Posts). As a result of this action, the surface of the affected area will become noticeably hotter as the lava beneath is pushed toward the surface by the built up pressure. Tatsuya can then release this build up pressure by creating small craters in the ground with either explosion tags, thus releasing this pent up magma in a explosive Mini-eruption at every point where a hole was created. The more holes the smaller the explosion will be, and vice versa in that less holes will equal more power explosions. With the combination of the explosion and lava this jutsu can lead to severe injuries and even death if a foe is got unaware. It can also create several lava pools after use, which Tatsuya can then use to his advantage to control how his opponent moves around the battlefield. A side effect of this technique is that it will lead to a nasty surprise to anyone trying to move underground or using ground shifting Dojutsu. The former for obvious reasons, and the latter because it will weaken the ground around them, causing the jutsu to activate prematurely. Weaknesses are the preparation time, making it something that can't be effectively used without either a teammate or pre-planning. It can also be activated prematurely by the above method, and can't be used in certain areas. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Tool Name: Bag of Dirt Description Enough said, for Stone Bracers when there isn't much dirt around. Just in case Weapon Name: Ketsui Weapon Type A double-edged Bastard Sword Description Ketsui is the sword that Tatsuya had to make to be allowed to become a shinobi by his father, a blade of unquestionable quality and a showing of true talent and hard work to be made by one as young as him. NOt only does it have a keen edge and made from durable metal, but during the forging process(where a mix of traditional and modern techniques were applied) he inscribed special seals into the metal to give it an extra function. The blade could now store elemental chakra with in itself and circulate it through the blade more effectively, enabling it to more effectively take on the aspects of whatever element it pumped into it. This also makes it capable of forming advanced chakra natures, such as Tatsuya's own Lava Release, with remarkable ease. And since it's able to store chakra as well, that means that one can fully charge it before a mission and activate and deactivate the seals inside with a simple one handed seal and a little chakra. Chakra effects: Fire: The blade is wreathed in a thin, but intense veil of fire, allowing it to cut through metals with only moderate difficulty and cause third degree burns. Earth:The blade becomes denser and more durable Lava: The Blade becomes as Hot as Molten Lava, cutting through metal with ease as well as getting a slight increase in durabilty The charge is big enough that it can keep the blade active for a total of 5 posts. The Lava style requires more chakra, however, so he can only hold that for about 3 posts instead of 5. Tool Name: First Aid Kit Description A basic medical kit that holds several chakra pills, first aid supplies Weapon name: Shuriken Description: Sharpened, four-pronged metal stars, useful for throwing. They can also be used for close combat, but not very efficiently. Although small, they can be used to distract, pin down enemy shinobi, or if accurate enough, can kill or incapacitate an enemy. They have an open circle in the centre, useful for grabbing with a finger, to avoid cutting oneself, or to put thread through. The circle is also beneficial to the weapon's overall aerodynamics, ensuring more accurate trajectories. Weapon name: Kunai Description: A black dagger with a handle wrapped in bandages and a small ring attached to the end of it. The kunai is designed for thrusting and stabbing, though it can still do some damage if thrown despite not being designed for it, and is about the length of one's hand. Weapon name: Explosive tags Description: These tiny slips of paper with seals drawn on them can pack quite a punch if used correctly, and can even be attached onto an enemy directly. Also can be attached to thrown kunai for accurate delivery or have a bunch wrapped into a ball for a more devastating payload. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Tatsuya is an honest and sociable sort, one who believes that the best way to get something is to earn it through the sweat of your brow and the strength of your will. He's very open in both mind and personality, accepting of pretty much everyone, and at times a bit too forgiving, which people have taken advantage of in the past and probably will continue to do so in the future. However, don't take that as him being slow witted or foolish, as his mind is as sharp as the blades he forges, and he has a keen intuition, honed by years of attending his family's shop, for picking out when people are lying to him or trying to pull the wool over his eyes. He tries his best to remain courteous with all kinds people, but he's no pushover, and if you don't back off nicely, he will make you back off, whether it be through words or actions. Tatsuya is also a bit of an artist, putting his experience in the forge into various metalworking projects and sculptures. While he's not terrible, it's obvious to see that e's still trying to find his niche with the art, as every piece is very different from one another, and he has yet to see one he particularly likes yet. He's also good at drawing, but that kind of a necessity when making designs for weapons, armors, and other such works, but he does sometimes take time out of his busy days to just relax and draw the world around him, mostly just random people on the street who catch his interest. While usually rather humble and modest, Tatsuya takes great pride in what he calls his true art form, forging weapons and armors of his own that have a cool style while still remaining practical in use. He treats every work like a piece of art, and has also taken to learning several weapon types, because he always feels that if he knows how to use the weapon himself, he can better forge it for his customers. His favorite type of weapon is the sword, but he's also learned how to effectively use other weapons, such as the staff, spear, and Naginata. 【History】 Tatsuya's father comes from a clan of reknowned blacksmiths that originated from Mizu no kuni. They were known as the Kajiya Clan, and it's said that it was members of their clan responsible for forging the blades of the Seven Ninja swordsman. However, sometime after the rise of the Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki, a faction of the clan separated from the main branch and left Mizu no kuni, for reason's that very few outside the clan know about. The faction soon splintered off from each other, settling in several different lands across the world, keeping the name of their clan where ever they go to show that they still pride themselves in their linage. His father, Katsuo, was born and raised in Konoha, living there for 17 years before he decided to travel to Kirigakure in order to find out more about his heritage. It was there were he met his wife-to-be, Katsumi Terumi. She was an eccentric inventor, and often considered to be the black sheep of her clan due to her . . . odd mannerisms. While the two didn't get along when they first met, their mutual love to create eventually formed into a relation ship, and after a 5 years, Katsuo returned home with Katsumi to Konoha with her father's blessing, where they were to be happily married 3 years later. Fast forward 10 years in the future to the birth of Tatsuya, their second child and first born son. Tatsuya's early years where tough at first, as he was a rather weak baby, but he pulled through, eventually growing healthy and strong without any complications. Tatsuya soon spent a great amount of time with both of his parents in their respective workshops, and while he tended to lean towards his dad's work then his mother's, he found both of them interesting. As soon as he was able, he would assist them in every endeavor they undertook, no matter how small a task they gave him to do. His family was a happy and connected one, for the most part. The only real conflict ever presented before him was his father's staunch resolve to deny him from becoming a shinobi. Katsuo had seen both his father and brother become shinobi, only to die meaningless deaths and only him and his mother around to mourn them, and he didn't want Tatsuya to become just another forgotten grave in the cemetery, killed before his time because he was nothing but a pawn for the Confederation to use at their leisure. Tatsuya, on the other hand, was adamant about it, wanting it more than anything else. Finally, Katsuo agreed to let the boy become a shinobi, but only if he could make a weapon that would impress him, and not a second before. The task was seemingly impossible for a then 10-year old Tatsuya, but he went at the challenge with a determination that blazed liked a wildfire. Using Kajiya sealsmithing techniques, as well as his own talent and skill with the tools available to him, he worked on numerous weapons, each a good viable weapon, but never reaching Katsuo's standards until one day, 4 years into the agreement, when he presented Ketsui to his father. The blade was spectacular, it's functions both practical and unique to it. It was a weapon deserving of the name Kajiya, and true to his word, Katsuo finally allowed Tatsuya to be a Shinobi, though he still doesn't like the idea.

Tatsuya somewhat fears his Kekkei Genkai, as he's afraid that he might accidentally hurt, and even kill someone one day due to him not being able to control it properly.

51,138	1,381	45	1,306	383	Setsuko Most Mundane Character You Will Ever Meet Konohagakure Border The Hamajo Confederation So she is an Uchiha was the first thing Setsuko thought of before actually processing what Higoho had said. Why I expected anything other than an arrogant answer is beyond me. Setsuko looked towards the direction where the Hyuga had walked off to, and decided to follow to keep from letting him get what he seemed to want. As she follow him up the stairs she couldn't help but look at some of the fallen soldiers who had given their lives for the battle. At one point she had stopped to bend down, and close the eyes of one shinobi who looked to be around his 40's as well as another who looked much younger than the man before; a bit older than her from the looks of it. "Rest." she murmured to herself as she stood back up to take a look at some of the other bodies. "All of you." Setsuko turned away from the bodies that could make one go insane, and continued on to where Higoho would be. As she made it to the top she could see a few people that were fighting which overwhelmed her to an extent. "Wha-" she whispered as she tried to get a sense of what was going on, but had no idea who half of the people were. The first, and main one to catch her attention was a...cat? Human? "Who-" she whispered once again as she tried to comprehend what that thing was. At the same time she was trying to figure out what it was Setsuko felt a chill run up her spin simply because it looked like something she didn't want to mess with. Note to self: Look away, and pretend you never saw it. Maybe this'll be the only time you'll see that thing Setsuko, so look away. As she looked away her eyes then fell upon a red-haired individual who was closer to the building than they were, and figured she'd have to tell him that the fight needed to end soon though how she would do that was beyond her since he looked to be ready to join the fight. Setsuko sighed as she placed one hand on her hip, and muttered to herself. "Well, I do like fighting, but there's too many people in this one for me to enjoy it especially if I don't even know who is who." "Higoho," she said as she looked away from the battlefield in front of them to look at the fellow Hyuga."I was told to tell the others that this fight needs to end quickly." she then nudged him with her fist on his left shoulder to get his attention. "Meaning we should assist them in what we can." No regrets. "After all, you're strong so do something with it instead of standing here like an idiot." Maybe just one regret.	l0ck0n's Decent, Mundane yet badass because she's a Hyuga of a Character "Chains hold me hostage. The ransom? Death." Setsuko wears her headband traditionally on her forehead with wrapping under it, so in case the headband were to fall off the cursed seal of the Branch House would not show. Not only that, but she also leaves her bangs out of the headband, and has it on the left side while having the rest of her hair in a bun. Rarely does she ever leave her brown hair loose, but when she does the hair is roughly 17 inches long. She has two ear piercings, and wears black earrings. She wears a black scarf that she keeps on at all times, a sleeveless blouse that fits her perfectly, and arm sleeves that are cut to reveal her fingers. When it's could outside, or she's on a mission Setsuko wears a styled Haori under a worn-out Obi that a store manager gave her for less than it's original price. Because she's a cheap-stake. She wears the Obi even if she's not wearing the Haori to keep from showing her stomach since the blouse is cut 2 inches below the chest. For pants she wears light grey shorts that have loose, but small pockets. Underneath the shorts she wears thin leggings while finishing it off with the traditional Shinobi shoes. Her height is 5ft 5in, weighs 134lbs, and isn't thin whatsoever. Her build is more on the Mesomorph side what with her having some muscle on her bones yet she doesn't have too much muscle. Her face is longer than rounder, and she doesn't care if it gets a scrape or two. Even if Setsuko is into the decent fashion of a Shinobi she doesn't have too cute of a face being more rough around the edges making up for it with a small round nose, and light skin.

Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Setsuko Hyūga 【Alias】 Nao 【Affiliation】 She is a shinobi to the Confederation, but isn't loyal to them. 【Age】 18 【Sex】 Female 【Sexuality】 Heterosexual 【Birthplace】 Konohagakure 【Bloodline】 Hyūga Clan 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Setsuko is nothing of the calm, cool, and collected type of Shinobi. She's quite short-tempered at times, and can be reckless either off the battle field or on it. Not only can she be reckless, but she can also be impulsive on the battlefield which tends to bring with it mistakes and such while not intending to do so. Even if she comes off quite strong, and well, rude to others she's actually soft-hearted, and is willing to strike up a conversation with anyone. Because she's willing to be social Setsuko is easygoing as well, and likes to crack a joke here and there without fully understanding that her jokes aren't as funny as she thinks they are. Despite taking most of her time to practice Setsuko likes to balance that out with being able to relax, and enjoy the smaller things in life like food. Food is her go-to thing to do as well as weapon shopping, and doesn't like to miss a moment of it. Even if Setsuko is easy going the battlefield excites her, and she likes to be the first one to enter it even if she hasn't gotten fully used to her fighting style since she doesn't always use the Gentle Fist. Because of this Setsuko likes to read different kinds of combat books to increase her knowledge, but seems to never finish one. Secretly, she likes to read romance books, and likes the idea of romance though she doesn't believe she'll ever find someone for herself because love in the real world to her doesn't exist. Setsuko doesn't easily trust people (males), and doesn't try to get too close to someone no matter if it's a possible friend, or a comrade. 【History】 Childhood - (0-6): Setsuko was born to a Hyūga Branch member for a mother, and a traitor Red Sage of a father. Her beginning years involved both her parents since her father at the time still made others believe he was someone else. Her mother had given up the Shinobi life at the young age of 20, and wanted to start a family. Even if she had put her ninja things away the Hyūga had still kept a close eye on her to see if her child would have the Kekkei Genkai. For a while her parents cared for her like any other parent would, and made sure she was as happy as any child should be in those years. At age 4 all of that would come to a halt. Sadly, she had been born with the Byakugan the Hyūga clan was waiting for, and was taken away from them to be given the cursed seal as well as be taken care of by the Branch House. Being a little girl she understood nothing, and would continue to understand nothing until years later. Right after she was taken her father had disappeared only to come back with a few members of the Red Sages. At night they would enter the Hyūga territory, and attempt to take back what was without knowing that she had already been given the cursed seal. The mission was unsuccessful, and the punishment was death for every single member including her father. Setsukos mother had been taken in under the accusation that she had been recruited by her father while they were together. Distraught, and furious her mother would become a shinobi once again to be able to get revenge on the rebel group who, in her theory, had used her to try to get the Byakugan for themselves. Through all of that Setsuko would stay, and train at the Branch house up to age 7 where she would then be sent to Ninja Academy. Base School Years - (6 to 10-14): While in the academy as well as in the care of the Branch house Setsuko only got to see her mother. She had no knowledge of her father, and at that she would not even be able to say his name. In the Academy she would get picked on by her strange eye color, and would pick fights herself since she was to take crap from no one. At one point she had met someone with a similar eye color as her who, come to find out later, was also a Hyūga. She would challenge him multiple times, but each time he'd turn the other way which made her angry. It was almost like he would make himself believe she never even existed. Not only that, but the bullies wouldn't touch him because of how strong he was, so she'd do what she could to prove that she could be as strong. Mostly to get the mean kids off of her back. Because that kept failing she decided to fight him head-on which ended in her losing horribly. Even if she had lost the bullying had calmed down since she had picked a fight with a strong kid, and would do her best to show the boy that she existed. High School Years - (10-14 to 14-18): Once she reached High School Setsuko would find out who her father was. Before she reached high school she was a determined little kid who would do anything to find him. Her mother had told her what had happened at age 13, or at least her version of it, and a year later would be killed on a classified mission. With her parents both gone Setsuko would train almost nonstop to help her deal with the emotions that came with her parents death. As Setsuko passed each grade she'd begin to question if what she was doing is right due to the fact that she had parents by the hands of the confederation no matter how one looks at it. In a sense she also felt that they had left her because of their own desires, so she decided to speak about neither of them from that day on since the only thing that came with their memory was pain. While in High School She would see the kid from time to time that beat her when they were little. She noticed that he was unusually strong yet didn't have the muscle for it which made her wonder what type of person he was. She had found out his name because he was quite the topics of discussion which was shocking to her, but had heard something different about it each time. At one point she had tried to strike up a conversation, but it ended badly; It didn't end in her getting beat up, but somehow the guy still managed to ignore her which, in her opinion, was time to call it quits. As graduation came her skills were better than average, but never as good as Higōhō Hyūga which would irritate her when she'd think about it. Not only that, but the Hamajo Confederation would monitor her in case she were to do something against them, and the Hyūga Main Branch would assure her that if she were to do anything out of the ordinary she would be killed. She was upset to know that what she wanted was not to be a Shinobi to the Hamajo Confederation yet to also know that she had no choice to. 【Family ties】 Setsuko at one point did have both parents, but now she lives alone in an apartment. Akane Hyūga \| Mother \| 23, Konohagakure, Shinobi to the confederation, deceased. Masao Akiyama \| Father \| 25, Red Sages, deceased. 【Dreams and fears】 Setsuko dreams of becoming a legendary Kunoichi despite her lack of talent. She hopes to one day become as amazing as the famed Neji Hyuga who was able to get past his fears, and become even stronger. Her main fear is to be abandoned once again by the people she loves/she is close to. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Setsuko doesn't use the Gentle Fist fighting style unless it is her last resort, or unless the squad leader demands it. The Kunoichi usually packs many different types of ninja weapons such as the exploding pouches, the Shuriken, the Windmill Shuriken (her favorite, and first resort), and the usual kunai. She usually uses these to fight with more often as well as close-combat fighting. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Byakugan Description: "The Byakugan is usually manifested as very distinctive eyes, characterized by their enlarged and featureless white/lavender irides with no visible pupils. While active, the pupils become more distinct and the veins near their temples bulge. The Byakugan gives the user a near 360º field of vision, except for one blind spot at the back of the neck above the first thoracic vertebra. The range of this vision varies between users and in fact can be improved with training." Strengths: Setsuko can reach a maximum range of 9 Kilometers. Weaknesses: At one point Setsuko trained for too long with the Byakugan to try, and master its abilities. Because she had trained nonstop with the Kekkei Genkai (Which is something no one is ever recommended to do) she has permanently strained her vision. The strain has handicapped her to where she may miss details while fighting. She refuses to wear specially made glasses for it. Not only that, but Setsuko doesn't know that the Byakugan has a blind spot. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Taijutsu Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms B rank techniques: Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Taijutsu Eight Trigrams Thirty Two Palms Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Taijutsu Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation : Setsuko can only hold this technique for a maximum of 10 seconds, and at that the technique is weak since it is something she was experimenting on while messing around with their ability to control the chakra better. Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Taijutsu Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms Guard : Like the Palm Rotation this technique is weak due to the fact that she is only able to use it as a defense. She cannot form her chakra into thin blades, so using it as a defense is her only option. C rank techniques: Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Ninjutsu Water Needle Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Taijutsu Gentle Fist Vacuum Palm D-E rank techniques: N/A 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Ninjutsu : Eight Trigrams Grid Trap Rank: C Range: This technique can stretch from the person using it to as far as 6 meters. At what range is this technique useful? You can measure this in 'long' 'medium' or 'short' but those are rather vague. If you wore depth, use a distance such as meters. Description: The jutsu uses the seals of the Tiger, Ox, Ram, and Bird. Essentialy it's like the Grid Palm technique where the user slams their hand on the ground creating a network of grids to the range they desire, but instead of inflicting pain on the victim the jutsu is used like a bear trap. Once someone, an ally or an opponent, steps into the grid network their foot/feet cannot be lifted back up, and they're stuck there as if glue is holding them to the ground. After that, the network quickly begins to slide up the victim restraining their movements little by little as if they're being tied up in rope. While the grid works its way up it sends pulses of chakra to the victims chakra pathway system not only making them feel uncomfortable, but also makes it a bit harder for the user to use jutsus due to the fact that their chakra pathways are being disrupted. The chakra pulses do no such damage a person, and if the victim can easily ignore the pinching sensation internally then getting out is no difficult task. To get out of the jutsu one simply has to focus a small amount of chakra to the bottom of their feet due to the fact that Setsuko doesn't apply much chakra to the jutsu, and because that small amount would cancel out the jutsu then the victim would be free. If they don't figure this out then the grid would slid its way up until the person is covered in the network, and then break into a million pieces as it fades into nothing. It takes about 5 seconds for the users chakra pathway to readjust itself, but no harm comes to the person. From start to finish the jutsu lasts for a maximum amount of 6 minutes, and does not warn Setsuko in any kind of way that someone fell for the trap. Once the trap is sealed to the ground it stays there, but because there's only a small amount of chakra put into it the jutsu fades after 3 minutes if no one has stepped in it. Setsuko mostly uses the jutsu to stall for time, as a distraction, and/or a trap. If she puts more chakra into the jutsu then it could possibly cause severe internal damage as the chakra pulses would become much stronger, but she never does to be able to use the jutsu often. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Description: In its folded state, all four arms of the shuriken are folded together. When fully unfolded the large shuriken can be thrown through the air. This is the first thing she makes sure to pack, and is her first resort in battle. Even if it's her first resort she doesn't unfold it unless she's willing to let it go (for the greater good) for the rest of the fight/battle since the shuriken isn't a boomerang that will come back to her after throwing it.
51,139	1,381	46	1,105	2,351	Mirai Yumiya The blue-haired girl let out a sigh of relief when Kanata confirmed that she could rescue Aneko. That was good. Mirai would have a very hard time living without her servant. She didn't know how to cook, clean, or manage time. She was surprisingly dependent on another person for someone who was pretty much an adult, though not just physically but also emotionally. Aneko was like a mother to her, or at least more of a mother than her own mother was. The wave of relief vanished when the demon mask clattered nearby. It was the one that the man who defeated her wore. It was creepy, even though the mask itself was silly and probably not actually scary to even children. And then for some reason Kanata decided to keep it, stowing it away. "Why are you..." Then she felt the weight and pressure on her metal shoulder. A chilling and creepy presence had appeared behind the two girls. When Mirai actually looked back to see the source of the voice mocking them, she instantly recognized who it was. "Y-yakoul-sama," she let out. The strange, cat-like man(?) was one of the famous generals of the Confederation. It was his army that defeated Konohagakure and solidified the Confederation's status as the global power. It was a powerful creature, but this was the first time Mirai got to meet it in person. And something the history lessons never taught was that Yakoul was very creepy. "A s-speech? Why not just... beat them?" It was a weak suggestion, but it was the only thing Mirai could think up on the spot. She wasn't good with people, let alone with bolstering morale like a general must have to be. There wasn't much advice she could give him, though she wasn't really aware that he didn't expect anything from her. Once he let go of her shoulder she felt the wave of anxiety leave with his hand. His presence was something terrifying, even if they were working together. Apparently Kanata was a lot more uppity once she was free of Yakoul's grip, vocalizing her offense to his remark about her lack of bust. I'm thankful I don't have to deal with being too small or too big, Mirai briefly thought to herself, but dispelled the thoughts as the mist was raised. It was time for action. Yakoul would fight, Mirai and Kanata would regroup with more loyal shinobi after rescuing Aneko, and they would beat the Red Sages back with the combined might of the Confederation's stationed troops. "Let's do this..." Katsuko Moto Turns out he didn't need to find any tags. Or rather: Katsuko didn't have to find anything. Yuudai made his way into the building and was wreaking havoc quite nicely judging by the tremors. That barrier will come down any second at this rate. That sleazy bastard that killed Tarara is gonna get it. Even better the mist began to rise, allowing Katsuko to look back towards the entrance of the building and get a gauge of how the battlefield had changed since he could last see. Firstly, Seijo had engaged with a single Confederation kunoichi (she better not lose). Secondly, there was two girls and a cat-like person preparing some kind of attack against the Red Sages. Katsuko narrowed his eyes in their direction. "Yakoul..." He recognized the general well. He was from Konoha, he even fought when Yakoul invaded all those years ago. This evil, twisted creature was the one that brought Konoha to its knees. Now's our chance. I'll kill that bastard and then- "Hey, Katsuko! If that girl tries to get at me again, show her how strong you are. Impress me." His enraged focus was broken and he looked over to the Lady Commander. The captain clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. Damn her. She's playing with me. She knows she can pick at my pride. Now I have no choice! With a groan of frustration, Katsuko made one large bound across the courtyard and slammed into the ground next to Seijo. "Doton: Doryuheki!" The incoming orb of heat and chakra that was aimed towards Seijo would find itself crashing into a large wall of earth that erupted from the ground in front of Katsuko. The resulting explosion shattered the wall and sent dust and debris flying a small distance, but both Katsuko and Seijo behind it were unscathed. "One day..." Katsuko muttered under his breath, standing upright from his previous position to search for the culprit of the attack. He heard the crackle of electricity and looked up in time to see the bolts coming towards him and Seijo. My wall won't stop lightning attacks. Katsuko held his left arm out and leaped backwards from the destroyed earth wall. In this manner he was able to do two things: dodge the bolt aimed for him and use his arm to push Seijo away from the bolt that targeted her. He didn't put much force in his maneuver, so as to avoid knocking his boss over and instead just giving her a light shove forward as he moved backwards. "Alright then," he spoke up to Seijo, this time at an adequate volume. "Get your ass in the building then and help that kid." "I'll handle all of these guys." Katsuko stood and faced the general direction of Akio, Yakoul, Kanata, and Mirai. He stood between them and Seijo and took a fighting stance. He kept stretched his left arm towards them with his palm facing them, curling his fingers in slightly, as his right arm was tucked in close to his ribs and placed his hand in a similar pose but in front of his chest instead. His legs relaxed and took a wide stance with his left foot forward and his hips somewhat lower to the ground than most forms. His gaze became fierce as his eyes darted from Akio to Yakoul. "You people... really make me mad." He closed his eyes, only for a moment. "I won't let anyone get in Seijo's way. None of you can get past me." In retrospect, that sounded a bit corny, Katsuko. Oh well. When the red-haired jonin opened his eyes they were no longer their signature red. Instead the irises had turned golden and almost seemed to have a glow about them. But, for those who saw this change, they would instantly detect a sinking feeling in their gut. The inexperienced wouldn't recognize it, but the shinobi who were very familiar with their chakra would understand that it was being drained. They may also realize that the sensation goes away the moment they look away from his eyes, or at any rate they would hopefully figure that out in some fashion. "Who wants to die first?"	j8cob's Characters of Moderate Interest and Adequate Writing “Anything for the greater good; there is no measure too extreme.” A man of average height and athletic build, Ryuunosuke would barely stand out in a crowd if it wasn't for his aura and his wardrobe. He wears a white military-style jacket so pristine and white it is impossible to not see, a black formal suit underneath for when his presence doesn't need to be flaunted, and of course he keeps his elegant sword sheathed at his hip. Top it off with white dress pants, polished black boots, sleek gloves, and noble blonde hair and one can't fail to recognize Ryuunosuke at a glance. While his features may be attractive and his clothes may be regal, he is always accompanied by an aura of authority. One cannot look at him without either fearing him or being struck by awe in his presence. He practically radiates power. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 A hero, a villain. A kind soul, a ruthless killer. A heart of gold, a fist of iron. There are many descriptions of Ryuunosuke's character that all depend on who you ask. To some he is a man of great respect, a legendary hero that has fought for his ideals and won. To others he is an opportunist and a fiend, an infamous villain that took power through bloodshed. The truth is these descriptions are all of the same man and they are all accurate. Though noble in presence he justifies all his actions as a means to an end. He truly believes he is saving the world and unifying all the people, and he isn't afraid to slaughter anyone that gets in his way of that vision. All who oppose him are an evil that must be destroyed. He is all that is good and just, so any enemy is naturally evil and irredeemable. The greater good, to Ryuunosuke, is something worth reaching even if he has to climb a mountain of bodies to achieve it. 【History】 The origin of the man named Ryuunosuke Hamajō is shrouded in mystery. There are no documents or eye-witness accounts, he seems to have simply appeared fifteen years ago as a mature and worldly teenager. There are rumors and stories of his early life but none have been confirmed by Ryuu. Even his closest friends and allies have only sparse details on his background. One of the popular propaganda pieces from the beginning of the Hamajō Confederation was the intentional spreading of a rumor that he was truly born from a dragon. This was intended more to bolster support than actually explain who he is, but it caught on as the prominent myth to serve as his "explanation." The earliest report of his existence came when a young, blonde teenager wearing homemade pelts as clothes while carrying a sword entered a clothing store in a rural town just south of the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning. When questioned about his clothes he said rather simply "my old ones were too small and I didn't have many options." When asked who he was, he simply replied "Ryuunosuke Hamajō." After performing several oddjobs to pay off the man for a modern wardrobe he left the city to continue on his journey. This was the first time his name was spoken and it was far from the last. Over the next four years he traveled across the world like a wandering swordsman. He was only a teenager at the time, many didn't take him seriously, and many more tried to take advantage of him. Despite the cruel world he lived in, he was a kind soul. A strong soul. He always spared his attackers, granting mercy on most who crossed him. It was through this kindness that he made his allies. In time he had gathered a group of six followers, each one a man or woman he had defeated and spared. These friends, too, had their own followers and connections. They were all powerful, strong shinobi from all over the world. People of respect and admiration, and they all respected and admired Ryuunosuke. He was a kind and merciful soul. He was a champion of peace. His name began to spread and his group was given the name of the Dragon's Den. While his fame grew and more and more people joined his cause, Ryuunosuke grew less kind. His merciful nature, after years of being tested, began wearing away when he was seventeen. The change was slow and gradual. Many didn't notice it, Ryuunosuke to this day hasn't noticed it, but somewhere along the line he stopped sparing his enemies. But it didn't matter by that point. He had a small army of loyal followers, positioned all over the world. Dragon's Den was becoming big enough for the Kages of the Hidden Villages to take notice. But by then it was already too late. All they needed to create a new world order was a spark. They had many thousands of supporters and the potential to gain hundreds of thousands. The idea of world peace and global harmony was enticing, after all. The message they preached was that only through unity could everyone come to a mutual understanding. Only by coming together could mankind be strong enough to carry on. The spark came when the leader of Amegakure publicly cast the seven prominent members of Dragon's Den out of the village. He claimed they were a cancer to the world, that they would only cause global warfare if they continued on their path. He demanded they leave his village and never step foot in it again. A fifteen year-old Ryuunosuke would've accepted the man's decision and demonstrated his kindness and understanding by leaving. But Ryuunosuke was nineteen now. He no longer spared his enemies. Amegakure was the first to be taken in. His army of supporters only grew, making Dragon's Den a very important and very powerful organization. This prompted a name change, at the behest of Ryuunosuke himself. If they were to lead the people fairly it could not be left up to one person. Instead there would be a council at the top, an oligarchy. These nations would become one big confederation, Ryuu proposed. And from that day forward began the rise of the Hamajō Confederation. The rest is history. In less than a year the Hamajō Confederation was able to secure all the Hidden Villages, forcing their respective countries into submission. Each nation in the Confederation was represented by one of the original six members of the organization, with Ryuunosuke serving as the President of the Council and accordingly the President of the Hamajō Confederation. Their victory was celebrated across the world by their armies and supporters, but their work was not yet complete. The world was not yet properly unified. Enemies to the peace still existed. He was so young then, practically ruling the world before he was even twenty. Times have changed, he has changed. What was once a kind boy has grown into a hardened man. Peace could not be maintained through kindness, he reasoned. It could only be kept through order, loyalty, and force. This was unanimously agreed by the entire Council. The groundwork for a prosperous future had been laid out, and to some extent it has succeeded over the past eleven years. Many people are happy and safe. But not everyone. The Red Sages, in particular, have been the biggest thorn in Ryuu's side. These violent and chaotic rebels. They failed to understand his vision, to understand what's best for them. Their mere existence was a sign: Ryuunosuke's utopia was far from complete. He hadn't achieved world peace yet. There was still more obstacles in his path. Even after unifying all the nations he still had enemies. And Ryuunosuke doesn't spare his enemies anymore. 【Family ties】 Nobody knows what his family life was like. When asked, Ryuu says that he loved his parents but they had passed away when he was only eight. He also says that he had no siblings. 【Dreams and fears】 The hopes and dreams of Lord Hamajō are no secret: his greatest wish is to unify the entire world in a peaceful, prosperous utopia. He has already made great strides towards accomplishing this and shows no signs of changing his mind. His fears, on the other hand, are less known. First and foremost would be the fear of the Confederation collapsing. But, after that, he is known to be paranoid of his own organization for traitors, constantly ordering investigations in an attempt to expose any and all assassination plots against him. A small fear he has that is only known by the select few he had begun the Hamajō Confederation with is his mild fear of crowds and public speaking. This is something he can keep under control, but he is always visibly uncomfortable when surrounded by many people. This also relates to his paranoia. 【Songs】 The Dragon's Name (Instrumental) The Hero's Path The Villain's Way The Conqueror's Blade (Instrumental) “Being the strongest man in the world isn't easy, but I wouldn't have it any other way.” Katsuko is not built lithe like most ninja, instead having a tall and muscular body. His extra bulk is always apparent regardless of garments. His signature red hair makes him easily identifiable, if his size wasn't already a good enough indicator. He often wears only the clothes depicted in the picture above, but he also wears white or black shirts with the Konoha emblem emblazoned on the chest as well as red jackets whenever he is not in combat. He only removes the jacket when he gets into a fight. Personnel files.

Prides itself on producing powerful shinobi, though far too small of a family to compete with larger clans. 【Rank】 Jounin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Bold, confident, and determined. Katsuko is a man of pride who values strength just as much as he values honesty and loyalty. He doesn't withhold his opinion aside from rare circumstances and is surprisingly a capable listener to the opinions of others. He treats others with respect, though his confidence sometimes dips into cockiness when addressing those who challenge him. Many find him to be a reliable person, the kind of guy who will fulfill a promise if he makes one. He will talk tough, and everyone knows he is strong, but he is never quite intimidating. He is just light-hearted enough to make him fun to be around but still capable of being serious when it is required of him. 【History】 Born to a simple family in a simple home, Katsuko was raised to become a shinobi like his father, Jinkama. His mother and father took in his older cousin when she was nine and Katsuko was six, due to her parents' tragic deaths in the field as shinobi. Between him, his father, and his cousin, the Moto household had plenty of shinobi and training together. While Jinkama had always been a prodigious swordsman, Katsuko and his cousin Keiko turned out to be geniuses in their own respective fields of taijutsu and ninjutsu respectively. As Keiko and Katsuko became older teens the Hamajo Confederation took over. Katsuko was only a chuunin at the time but still tried his best to defend Konoha alongside his family and comrades. But the opposing army was too great and the order to surrender was given once Konoha's leaders had been slain. The Choko siblings that were in control had perished and the jounin commander disappeared without a trace, forcing the cooperation of the rest of Konoha's forces. After a while Katsuko grew accustomed to the new way of life. But his father never did. Jinkama was one of the first to join the Red Sages, secretly leading operations against the Confederation as a senior officer. It wasn't until Katsuko was already 22 years old and a fresh jounin himself that his father was finally found out. In an ambush attack he was struck a mortal blow, killing him later that night from his blood loss and damaged heart. In his dying hours he confessed his plans and ideals to Katsuko and his cousin, spurring them both into action. The Confederation came to their house the next day, retrieving Jinkama's body and subjecting the entire Moto family to a thorough investigation. They passed and were let go, but were put under watch for several months following the event. After his leash had been loosened, Katsuko joined the Red Sages and brought his cousin along too. Unlike their father they were young and unfit for leadership. This made it easier to stay under the radar, but it meant they were only grunts in the grand scheme of things. Over the past few years they have made their way up the ladder, earning respect from their peers for their strength and skill as shinobi. Lately Katsuko has become interested in taking a leadership role for the cause, much like his father did before him. Only this time he has made sure to cover all his bases and prioritize the secrecy of his plans, which his father clearly failed at. Only time will tell how this strong, determined young man will affect the outcome of the brewing civil war. 【Family ties】 Growing up in a tight-knit household, one would expect Katsuko to be very close with his family. But considering every member of his family is largely independent, they are actually quite distant despite their good standings. Whether it is out of stubbornness or laziness, one cannot tell. But the Moto family rarely gathers, but when they do they all appreciate and respect each other like any functioning family would. Jinkama Moto \| Father \| Died at 49, former jounin in Konoha's armed forces. Akira Moto \| Mother \| 50, Konohagakure, owns a grocery store and is generally respected by her community. Keiko Moto \| Cousin \| 29, Konohagakure, jounin and older cousin that Katsuko grew up with. 【Dreams and fears】 Katsuko has a few dreams including establishing himself as the strongest man in the world and seeing the Red Sage's cause through to the end, to create a world where everyone is free and capable of autonomy. When it comes to fears he may seem to be fearless, but Katsuko fears humiliation above all else. Even death does not muster fear in his heart like his name being brought to shame. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Katsuko is a taijutsu master, brutalizing his foes through sheer power and speed. While his ranged options are limited, he has little difficulty in closing any gaps of range to maximize his offensive prowess. His durability and sheer determination is nothing to shake a stick at either, allowing him to tank blows in order to easier land hits on his foes. While his strength is already something fearsome, he is known to exploit his opponent to tip the scales even further in his favor. He may not be the brightest bulb but he sure is the toughest, and he knows it. Expect a beating from hell if you dare cross Katsuko. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Chikaroatoshi Description: An ocular kekkei genkai, like the Sharingan or Byakugan. By using his eyes as a medium, Katsuko is able to access the chakra of his opponents through their eyes (tapping into the first two of the Eight Gates). This allows Katsuko to steal his foe's chakra simply through eye contact. The range does not matter, as it is eye contact at any range, but the duration of contact that determines the loss. An inept user may drain chakra slowly, but someone as versed as Katsuko can drain an enemy of their entire chakra pool in less than ten seconds of maintained eye contact. The chakra that is siphoned goes directly into Katsuko's system, powering him further and allowing him to demonstrate more strength and speed on top of gaining more stamina. A crafty and debilitating ability, but not the most stealthy. When using this ability, Katsuko's eyes turn from red to gold and have a faint glow. This can be considered a warning, as any and all eye contact made with him at that point will drain chakra, regardless of whether they are friend or foe. Strengths: The ability to drain chakra from an enemy at a distance, without prior contact, is a pretty good strength. It stacks further when one considers that Katsuko can effectively grow faster and stronger through the duration of a battle while his foes grow weaker and more tired at a much greater rate than they normally would. Weaknesses: An obvious way to avoid losing chakra is to avoid eye contact. If one makes eye contact and then breaks it off, the siphoning is broken off as well. Chakra may drain at an alarming rate, which experienced shinobi will feel and realize quickly that Katsuko is draining them, thus allowing them to avert their gaze before they reach the point of passing out. Avoiding eye contact altogether prevents any less of chakra. However, an actual weakness here, Katsuko can only absorb so much energy before he would overload. This amount is incredibly high, however, and would require many, many shinobi to accomplish. A more realistic alternative is to make him absorb "unsafe" chakra, such as Natural Chakra, which Katsuko's body would be unable to withstand in quantity. If he somehow overloads or absorbs a substantial amount of unsafe chakra, then his chakra system will be disabled and he would likely die. 【Ninja techniques】 S rank techniques: One Thousand Eyes Technique A rank techniques: Chakra Enhanced Strength Great Cataclysm B rank techniques: Earth Release: Earth Spear Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall C rank techniques: Earth Release: Hiding Like a Mole Technique D-E rank techniques: Academy Techniques Vantage Strike 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: One Thousand Eyes Technique Rank: S Range: Self ; Line of Sight (range irrelevant) Description: This is Katsuko's ace-in-the-hole, his ultimate technique if you will. It requires no handseals to activate but takes five seconds to properly manifest. Throughout the five seconds of warm-up many dozens of eye tattoos appear across his entire body. At the five second mark the black tattoos all turn golden and activate. These become conduits for Katsuko's eyes. Being that Katsuko is now looking through many angles around him all at once, it leaves him with no visual blind spots. However the true power of this technique doesn't lie in visual acuity but instead by serving as a medium for his Kekkei Genkai. While normally a foe may be able to fight to some degree by avoiding eye contact with Katsuko, this technique makes that almost impossible. Looking at him at all will result in losing chakra, fast. Even more so: this allows him to steal chakra from many people all at once. Naturally this means his strength, speed, and chakra pool increase at a staggering magnitude of order. Whether he is fighting one man or an entire army it does not matter. The downside to this technique lies in its strength: by absorbing chakra at a much higher rate he gets closer to overloading on "unsafe" chakra at a much higher rate as well. A seemingly simple but devastatingly powerful technique in all, generally reserved for situation when Katsuko is heavily outnumbered but can be used if faced against a sly opponent that refuses to lose their chakra. It is worth noting that this will also steal chakra from allies, as Katsuko's eyes cannot pick-and-choose who they steal from. ANYONE who looks at him will lose their power. Jutsu name: Great Cataclysm Rank: A Range: Short Description: An attack that utilizes Katsuko's Saihyousen weapon. By using it's incredible weight and Katsuko's incredible strength, an earth-shattering slam attack is performed after leaping into the air. While the attack is clearly telegraphed and easy to read, it is regarded as A rank due to the sheer damage output. A direct hit is fatal, and even a miss can deal severe damage due to the shockwaves and shattering earth. The impact is like a small earthquake and can disrupt the balance and focus of both friend and foe alike. An imposing attack that is mostly for striking fear into his enemies through demonstration of force rather than getting the direct hit, though it isn't very slow so direct hits can happen with grotesque result. Jutsu name: Vantage Strike Rank: D Range: Short Description: An opening punch from a stealthy approach. This is often Katsuko's entry into a battle. Using the element of surprise a heavy punch is delivered to the solar plexus (from the front) or the spine (from the back) depending on angle. Can easily defeat a foe by itself, only the hardiest of people will can take the hit. Dodging it is the best way to go for sure. Like seriously, dodge this fucking punch or it's over before it begins. Don't test Katsuko, you don't want to even try to block this shit. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Saihyousen Weapon, tool or object type: Massive Clubbing-type Weapon Description: An incredibly heavy weapon that very few can wield. A three meter long steel rod with half its length fitted with two solid steel spheres. This makes the handle a meter-and-a-half and the striking area the same length. This massive weapon weighs a literal ton, meaning that for the few like Katsuko who can swing it it will provide terrifying power behind every blow. Not only does its sheer size and imposing figure strike fear into his foes but just one swing is often all it will take to make an opposing force surrender. Nobody wants to die from being crushed and having all their bones broken simultaneously. Katsuko keeps this weapon sealed in a small scroll he keeps on his belt, as carrying it around would be awkward and uncomfortable. He can wield it without Chakra Enhanced Strength or using his Kekkei Genkai, but without either his attacks become slow and easy to dodge. With his "buffs" active he can wield this behemoth like a samurai would wield a katana. “I just have to keep trying, I guess...” First and foremost, Mirai's most striking feature is not her blue hair, the scar on her nose, her red eye, or even her blind left eye. It is her left arm, or rather the lack thereof. When out of the house she has a metal prosthetic arm in its place to allow her to keep functioning as a shinobi. While her stature is generally slim, not having any more muscle than she needs to lift her own weight and move around at an acceptable speed, her prosthetic arm is a bit bulkier than her real one. As for clothes she generally wears the garments depicted in the picture above but is known to wear dresses on fancy occasions or wear heavier clothes on chilly days. Due to wearing heels many think she is of average height but she is actually on the short side, standing at a mere 158cm tall. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Pragmatic, cynical, and doubtful. Mirai has a bad habit where she doesn't have much self-respect or self-confidence. She is quick to rely on others, both in and out of combat. While she is weak-willed that isn't to say she has no will at all. In fact she can be very stubborn and determined when pushed hard enough to rely on herself. This can come across as almost hypocritical, as her passive and depressing personality would make one think she would be unable to actually try to do anything. To that same effect, once Mirai has actually bolstered her will she casts away pride, honor, and any other emotion that would impair her actions. There is no such thing as a "low blow" to her. If she has to fight, she will go to whatever length it takes to survive or kill her opponent, depending on the situation. She isn't prone to rage, but many think that she enters an enraged state due to her ferocity even though her actual emotion would be more akin to panic or fear. 【History】 Born to the wealthy Yumiya family, Mirai was raised just as one would expect from her class. Most of the parenting she received was from household servants, particularly her personal servant Aneka, while her real parents were too busy. Busy with what? Her father, Makoto, has been a part of the Hamajo Confederation since its early days. Nobody knows what he does, exactly, but he had supplied his fortune when it was first starting up. He doesn't seem to do much anymore yet still holds prestige and position among the government for his support. Now Mirai's mother, on the other hand, had even less of an excuse. She had no job. She instead dedicated her life to knowledge, reading as many books as she could even at the cost of family time. So that was her early childhood. She received in-home education, private tutoring from Aneka, for several years. But, as she began to mature, she realized that she didn't enjoy her life. It was boring, dull, had no meaning. Her family wasn't loving, she had no friends, and had no talents. When Mirai was eight years old she decided she would go to Konohagakure to learn how to become a shinobi at their academy. Naturally her parents were against the idea initially, but it was evident they had some kind of love or bond with their child for they eventually relented and granted her wish. Since there was no family in Konoha nor could her parents spare the time to go with her, Mirai was attended by Aneka for the "duration of her stay in Konohagakure." And so the two traveled. Mirai began attending the Ninja Academy and so did Aneka, despite the fact the servant was already a full-grown woman. Aneka Toyama figured she would need to learn the shinobi arts if she wanted to properly care for and protect Mirai. The young girl became a genin at the age of 12, but it was apparent that she was not particularly... skilled. She was among the bottom ranks of her class and despite growing over the years never really improved at the same rate her classmates did. At first it frustrated her, but after a while it became something she felt accustomed to. She was given low-expectations, little respect, and barely any time of the day. Ironically it was nothing new to her. Mirai couldn't make any progress as a genin until she was sixteen. A mission went horribly wrong. The squad she was in was supposed to eradicate a bandit camp. But somehow, some way, the two chuunin and one genin were not prepared enough for the battle. Once her squadmates had been defeated and captured, Mirai attempted to flee but to no avail. She simply wasn't fast enough to escape or strong enough to break free. The resulting beating she received ended up putting a scar across the bridge of her nose and leaving her blind in one eye. The bandits later tortured the teenagers, trying to extract information out of them. Mirai attempted to escape during her interrogation, prompting an angry and violent response from her captors and resulting in the loss of her left arm. That night the squad was rescued by a (better) team of shinobi. After the bandits had all been killed or captured, Mirai was given medical treatment but they could not find her severed arm to attempt to reattach it. She was later told that it was the Red Sages who had done this damage to her, and that it was likely her career as a shinobi was over. Her hampered vision and physical capability made the Confederation put her on indefinite standby, a polite way to say early retirement. While Mirai seemed accepting of her fate, her servant Aneko (who has been a chuunin for a while by now) knew that she was heartbroken. Rather than let her resign to her fate, Aneko contacted her parents back in Amegakure to update them on her situation and get their help. And as such Makoto ordered the construction of a prosthetic arm that wouldn't just fully replace Mirai's original but exceed it's capability in terms of utility. If she was going to be a kunoichi then she was going to be a good one, and a good kunoichi needs good armaments. And arms. Mirai was shocked when she finally received the prosthetic, amazed at how well it worked and how useful it was. With a new motivation to get back into the game, Mirai began trying her best to work her way up the ranks. After receiving a new arm and undergoing intensive training with Aneko she finally made it to chuunin rank at seventeen, granted it was by the skin of her teeth. Nevertheless she was proud of her accomplishment, despite her monotone demeanor and the disapproving looks of her comrades. Her next goal is to become jounin, though considering the slow climb so far she isn't deluding herself over the difficulty and time it will take. 【Family ties】 Mirai's family was never particularly close or intimate. Father was always busy, mother was always locked away by herself with her books, and Mirai was always left to her own devices. Most of her care was seen through family servants rather than her parents. While Mirai can't say she "loves" her family, she does hold a natural soft spot in her heart for them. The only time they really spent together was dinnertime and holidays. Otherwise they were all alone, despite living in the same house. Makoto Yumiya \| Father \| 42, Amegakure, his exact job is unclear but he seems to be a part of some kind of committee established by the Confederation. Chiyuri Yumiya \| Mother \| 36, Amegakure, housewife who owns a whole library full of books that is always growing. Aneka Toyama \| Personal Servant \| 29, Amegakure, Mirai's personal maid that has taken care of her since she was a toddler. No blood relation. 【Dreams and fears】 In her depressing state, Mirai doesn't have many dreams. But, despite what she may say or feel, deep down inside she wants to become someone worthy of respect. Someone for others to look up to, like a role model or a hero. While she has a lack of dreams, she has no lack of fears. Ranging from the mundane such as bugs and dark places to the more serious fears such as having no friends, having no family, and even dying. Death is what she fears above all else. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Mirai doesn't have impressive taijutsu, ninjutsu, or genjutsu skills. To combat her general lack of natural talent she has come to rely on weapons and tactics. She is proficient with many kinds of weapons and tools, using her skills and her arsenal to her advantage to combat her physically superior opponents. She prefers to keep range and use surprise attacks, making her a bag of tricks that could be potentially fatal to the unwary or overconfident. Mirai may come across as underwhelming but perhaps that truly is her greatest asset. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: N/A B rank techniques: Self Destruct C rank techniques: Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder Lightning Release: Lightning Rod Poison Spike D-E rank techniques: Hidden Needle Cannon Academy Techniques 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Poison Spike Rank: C Range: Short Description: A hidden spike lathered in a neurotoxin is propelled from the palm of her mechanical arm, reaching a full length of four inches. It pops out at high speed so as to punch through thin armor or cloth as well as breaking the opponents skin. Very useful as a surprise attack when the enemy is close. The spike will be retracted after half a second, concealing it and allowing full use of her hand again. The toxin itself can be lethal in large doses (i.e. stabbed multiple times) but most victims will survive even without medical assistance. The toxin numbs the target over time, eventually reaching the point where they have incredible difficulty controlling their body. In higher doses it even affects their thought processes as their brain is numbed as well. A single stab can't defeat an enemy unless they are small and have a fast metabolism, but two or three stabs will be enough to bring down an average-sized adult over the course of five to ten minutes. Four doses or more is when it starts to become dangerous, becoming lethal to the average-sized adult at six (that is: without proper medical attention). Jutsu name: Hidden Needle Cannon Rank: D Range: Short-Medium Description: As compared to the hidden spike coming from the mechanical arm's palm, these needles fire from the outside of the forearm in a wide volley. A total of twenty senbon are shot out all at once, much like an open choke shotgun blast. Naturally the lack of accuracy hinders the effective range, but the senbon can travel over 100m from the propulsion. However, actually hitting a target at that range isn't feasible. Rather it is perfect for a painful surprise on an advancing enemy within 10m. The wide spray practically guarantees damage and the unexpected angle of attack adds versatility. Once the senbon are fired this attack cannot be used until Mirai reloads her arm, which is better done outside of battle due to the tedious nature. Jutsu name: Self Destruct Rank: B Range: Medium - 20m radius Description: If desperate times call for desperate measures, Mirai can use her prosthetic arm as a bomb. As it is loaded with explosives, all it takes for her to activate the countdown is her own will and some chakra. Once triggered it has a three second countdown before detonation. This gives Mirai just enough time to detach the arm and reach a distance she where she will survive the shockwave and avoid the explosion itself. Once the timer is started it cannot be cancelled, but thankfully it can only be started by Mirai thanks to her chakra connection with the arm. An obvious downside is that Mirai loses her better arm from using this technique, and it took a good while for it to be built the first time. Getting another could take up to two weeks, leaving her weak and unfit for duty for that duration. Debatably the bigger weakness would be the possibility of her not getting out of the blast zone in time, as the fuse is short and the range is wide. Thankfully she's had some practice and could probably make it. Probably. Same goes for any opponents who realize what is going on. They, too, have the same three seconds to make a break for it. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Left Arm Weapon, tool or object type: An advanced, mechanical prosthetic arm that Mirai uses during her waking hours. Description: Made of steel and powered by chakra, this arm is far superior to the one Mirai had lost. Not only is it incredibly durable and stable, but it also has multiple hidden weapons integrated into the forearm for surprise attacks. It houses a mechanism that fires a brief volley of senbon, contains a hidden poison-tipped spike, and even multiple exploding tags that will detonate if the arm is severed from Mirai (again). It also boasts significantly higher strength as compared to her right arm, as the entire left arm up to the shoulder is prosthetic. Notably it also weighs a respectable amount, adding onto Mirai's total weight on a scale to make her seem much bulkier than she actually is. Despite this weight it moves at an identical speed to her right arm, though because it is made of metal it packs much greater force behind every movement. Weapon, tool, or object name: Kunai Weapon, tool, or object type: Kunai Description: They're fucking kunai. Weapon, tool, or object name: Shuriken Weapon, tool, or object type: Shuriken Description: They're not fucking kunai. Weapon, tool, or object name: Smoke Bombs Weapon, tool, or object type: Smoke Bombs Description: Small bombs that explode into smoke, useful for many things. Direct hits don't really hurt anyone though, unfortunately. Can be attached to kunai for greater distance on throws. Weapon, tool, or object name: Ninjato Weapon, tool, or object type: Ninjato Description: A short sword with a straight blade, positioned horizontally across the back of Mirai's waist. Useful for, surprise, cutting things. This is Mirai's primary method of self-defense should an opponent get too close for her comfort. Weapon, tool, or object name: Explosive Tags Weapon, tool, or object type: Explosive Tags Description: Chakra-infused tags that detonate a few seconds after activation. Useful for blowing things up. Can be attached to kunai for a flashy surprise.
51,140	1,381	47	1,787	2,152	Seijo Tametomo „Lady Commander Tametomo” Red Sage If I Die Tonight Seijo stopped in her tracks, not looking back or sideways to see what had happened. She had heard footsteps approaching but not bothered to check for them - followed by the large boom caused by Katsuko, and the even larger boom caused by the technique hitting earth. Only then, when Katsuko had lowered the earthen wall and saw the lightning bolt, did she look back. She had heard the lightning cackle as well, not waiting for Katsuko to push her while she jumped slightly to the side at the last moment, dodging the lightning bolt. While she was going to enter the rubble before, and find the commander, she felt slightly annoyed by this white haired witch. “Hai, you're right. Tarara was stronger than me. And Tarara is dead. But he wasn't killed by you - you'd wish that wouldn't you. Fact of the matter is, even if I'm not as strong as Tarara, he was still miles above you, and that means that I am, too.” After letting Akio know what she thought, she looked back at Nori, glancing at him shortly before looking back at Akio. “Alright, let me know while I end this girls life.” she'd answer him, moving both her hands slowly towards her back, where another of her pouches was located. As her hands went into the pouch she used a clever trick that she'd picked up while practicing with Arima. Maybe that sucker wasn't so useless. Crossing her fingers, she performed a jutsu inside of the pouch, and then another. She then grabbed a hold of the 6 shuriken, of which two were shadow clones of her, which had been transformed into shuriken with the henge no jutsu. A relatively simple trick, really, but extremely useful. She threw the shuriken at the girl, meanwhile shouting out to Katsuko. “Katsuko, let's go.” indicating to him that he had to attack as well. Seijo had more important things than upholding honour right now, and was relying on Yudai to at least keep the commander in his eyes while she went to destroy this puny girl. Simultaneously she'd already started forming her handseals for the next technique, which would be meant to incapacitate Akio. The shuriken approached rapidly, when two of the most outward ones would poof and suddenly appear as Seijo, racing towards Akio at a tremendous speed, fist extended towards Akio in unison. If the four remaining shuriken weren't enough to distract her, the two shadow clones were. And in case Akio simply attempted to dodge them, the Shadow Clones would simply follow her ofcourse and just try to continue hitting her. Yes, fighting can be that simple. Atleast Seijo knew that her chakra reserves were still practically complete - she'd only used a few non intensive jutsu so far. As she finished her three handseal string of seals, she leaned back slightly and placed her hand on her mouth, palm facing towards the front, before leaning in and exhaling. As she exhaled, hundreds of spores flew from her palm, twisting her body to the right as she blew out to further spread the spores more and more towards Akio as well as in her path in case she was escaping. As the spores left the mouth, they were visible clearly, but the further they went, the less visible they became. As Seijo was satisfied she stood up straight again, looking over the field ahead of her. It would be practically impossible for Akio to avoid this technique completely at that point in time - skin contact would cause a painful burning sensation, and inhaling any spores at all would cause the airway to enlarge. Breathing was a necessary thing to life.. though the effects weren't quick enough to kill her within a day, or even a few days. Never the less, her breathing would become heavier and heavier until she would find herself unable to exert herself physically, likely forcing her to retreat if she even got that far. Though, given that she'd ordered Katsuko to also attack, she figured there wouldn't be much chance left for this cheeky brat. Seijo would simply turn towards the rubble after that, before jumping off with high speed towards it, landing on some nearby rubble and standing directly near Yudai while scanning the rubble for any signs of that commander bastard. In a deep crevice she spotted a wounded shinobi - wounded? Looked more like an unconscious runt. - with red hair. But why was she laying in a ball like that? Eh. No matter. She pointed at Yudai quickly, not wanting to stick around for the Confederate reinforcements, before pointing at the girl. “Yudai! Take her prisoner, kill her, or do something with her. Let's not leave people laying around like that.” Her eyes would flash all over the rubble before spotting a dark figure trying to get away. He was bleeding, like a pig in a slaughterhouse. Seijo grinned before jumping off, landing on top of the man who replied with a loud OUMPH! She bent over and grabbed his collar, stepping off of him before lifting him up. The man was either knocked out, or simply didn't want to face Seijo. Regardless, she threw him down before biting her thumb and forming seals, summoning Neki the Newt again. In a large pood the Newt appeared, visibly annoyed it'd been summoned again. But it was given no time to complain, simply being barked at with an order. “Neki, take him. I want to..” “Aaaaarima-san already captured a politician, Tomotameee-sama...” it bouldered, being met with a mph from Seijo as she pondered her options then. “Fine. Go home.” she said before releasing him from his duty. She once again reached over and grabbed the commander of the 11th corps, dragging him with her as she approached the compound center. Arriving on the scene, she dumped him down in front of everyone to see - and without a warning drew a kunai and dug it into his skull, before taking it out and digging it in again, deeper this time. Bone cracked as the skull was penetrated, giving the man no chance at survival. Seijo sighed deeply, with a high pitched wind in it, as if she'd just been relieved of something she'd been wanting to do for a long, long time. She took a moment for herself, relying on the others to guard her as she stood by, looking over those that were around. “Right, Sages. Let's go.” It was quite a strange thing to do - they had achieved their goal, but there were still Confederate Shinobi around. Perhaps she wasn't frightened of them chasing her, or the Red Sages, or perhaps she was confident enough to think that they'd not attack her at least, and probably not the others either. She quickly jumped off, heading towards the same area she had came from when they initiated the attack. Higōhō Hyuga „Bastard” Hamajō Confederation “Ah.” Higoho answered to Setsuko, slightly annoyed that she'd followed him, but not bothered enough to make it a point. Slowly he bent through his knees as he watched Katsuko tank a direct hit from Akio on his earthen shield. “No. The Red Sages have reached their goal - trying to stop them now would lead only to more deaths which we can't justify. They've destroyed the compound main building, and now they'll have the commander. Nobody will be fast enough to stop it.” he said whilst scanning the battlegrounds with his Byakugan. He looked into the rubble too, trying to discern who was trapped under it. Nobody important from what he could see. “Besides, that guy there,” he said, pointing at Katsuko with his finger, before retracting it and standing up on his feet again, raising him about a head height above Setsuko. “He's fast enough to stop anyone from interfering with their commander whilst she goes looking for the commander.” His byakugan flashed slightly to the left, where Yakoul was. He looked closely at what the cat was doing, not scared of it like Setsuko was. “And that is Yakoul. It doesn't seem interested in stopping the Red Sages that much. And if that is what it's planning, I don't plan to interfere. I don't like the 11th corps anyway.” he'd say, turning away from the battle completely now and heading down the stairs again. “Have you never seen those 11th corps creeps stalking outside our clan compound at night? Perhaps they've even seen you shower. Who knows, with those creepy guys.” He put his hands behind his head as he walked down, satisfied with a days work. Perhaps he hadn't managed to stop the Red Sages, but that probably would've been impossible given the speed at which Seijo and Katsuko had reached the main compound. All in all, he'd defeated two shinobi in the mist, saved the Uchiha girl, let Setsuko know she was an idiot for being late.. that's a good day by anyone's book. As he walked down the stairs he noticed.. himself? Standing in the distance? What the .. his mouth quickly turned downwards and his eyebrows turned inwards, showing his anger. His feet carried him much quicker than they had before, stepping quickly towards the boy that looked like him. “BASTARD! WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, PRETENDING TO BE ME?” he'd shout aggressively, preparing himself to attack. He seemed to be preparing himself for a vacuum palm, the same technique he had used earlier to deal with Mikoto, but something was different. As he reached Tanji - the fake Higoho - he pushed his hand forwards, shouting loudly for all nearby to hear. “EIGHT TRIGRAMS MOUNTAIN CRUSHER!” before launching a large wave of chakra into the opponent. The technique he had performed was not at maximum capability, obviously, but Higoho was angry, so Tanji was bound to suffer the consequences.	Partisans Cool Guy Group Entry not allowed to peasants I'm talking about you Savato “To kindle that memory is all I strive for - all this, it has no greater purpose to me. But it's all I can do.” Pictured on the left, Seijo is obviously a well matured woman. Her age would probably be estimated in her early twenties, around 23 or so. That seems to be fairly accurate given her personnel files. What stands out most in her physique are probably her white, short hair and her large breast size. She struts a feminine hourglass figure with wide hips and a wide chest, and a smaller waistline. Adding to that her hips often sway side to side effortlessly, only adding to her appearance as a good looking woman. She stands rather tall for a woman at about 1.74m, and weighs approximately 62 kilo's, though you can guess where most of that weight is located. Her jawline is sharp, almost as if drawn with a pencil and a ruler. Her chin is slightly pointed, but rounded off enough to stop it from appearing like a pointy spear, ready to pierce your body. She has a small mouth with somewhat thin lips, which are pale in color and are only a slight tint darker than her skin. Her large eyes are a brown colour, framed by her eyebrows. Her eyebrows are thin, most likely maintained by Seijo herself. The only thing that stops people from seeing her as only a beautiful woman, are most likely her facial expressions. She's quick to anger. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Seijo Tametomo 【Alias】 Lady Tametomo, commander Tametomo 【Affiliation】 Red Sages 【Age】 27 【Sex】 Female. Should be obvious, heh. 【Sexuality】 Noticeably bisexual. 【Birthplace】 Amegakure. 【Bloodline】 Tametomo. 【Rank】 Lady Commander of the Red Sages, approximated jonin level. Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Assessments of Seijo have shown her to be a brotherly-friendly type of person. She's someone that enjoys very much when you fall down face first in the muddy puddle, and who will gladly spend a few years laughing about that. Never the less she's outgrown that feeling, or at the very least tried to. She's more serious now, which is in line with her position as Lady Commander of the Red Sages. She's still bitter - about the confederation, about the wars, about everything really, and she makes no attempts to hide that. She hates everything about the Confederation, and in her mind, if you are not a Red Sage, you must be a confederate sympathizer. That has grown increasingly prominent in her plans on beating the Confederation now that her brother Tarara died. She's very vengeful, you could say, and it's hard for her to let go of a grudge. Besides this she's also very cocky when it comes down to it, perhaps a bit ruthless, but so far nobody has really dared to stand up against her or question her plans - and she intends to keep it that way. To her, nothing will stand in the way of beating the Confederation, not even her own death. And while before she was fighting merely for freedom, since Tarara's death she's also fighting for him. 【History】 Seijo was born in Amegakure two years apart from her older brother Tarara. They were a semi-happy family, as life in Amegakure wasn't always that great. Especially when it became apparent that two Amegakure shinobi, Ayame and Fujitora, had taken power in Konohagakure. The Amegakure people faced paranoia from all other nations than Konohagakure, seriously hurting their trade power. Then again, it didn't seem to matter much as shortly after Ayame and Fujitora came to power wars started breaking out. Some were even started by Ayame and Fujitora, so it was no surprise Amegakure got involved quickly. By the time that had all happened, Seijo was already a shinobi of fighting age, and was pushed to the front. Luckily for the family all our of them were shinobi, her mother being a strong shinobi with some sensory powers, her father being a taijutsu specialist and her older brother, Tarara, being simply a shinobi. What put Seijo apart from the rest of her family was the utilization of a special kekkei genkai that seemed to have skipped a few generations. In the wars sometimes she'd fight alongside her family, sometimes she'd fight alone with her own squad, but luckily for them they all returned home safe and sound - though Tarara had lost an eye to an enemy kunai. The wars weren't really finished, but something greater was at large. The Confederation arose some time later, and Amegakure being a small village wasn't able to withstand the pressure. They were forced to integrate into the Confederation and were made into the capital - many Amegakure citizens were forced to leave to make way for presidential buildings, apartments for envoys etcetera. While Seijo's mother and father remained behind to 'hold down the fort', Tarara and Seijo left to join up with a band of 'outlaws' that roamed the land. They were Amegakure shinobi who refused to submit to the Confederation, so not quite the rebels they were made out to be. They roamed around the lands for some time and sometimes clashed with other shinobi groups, conflicting for reasons that were no longer valid ever since the confederation had taken over. Over time Tarara grew to become the leader and Seijo his right hand, since there were deaths aplenty in these times and the leaders were usually prime targets - if not for mutiny then for battle with other shinobi groups. At that time the Red Sages were already around and Tarara led the group to join with the Red Sages. The organisation was picking up pace quickly and they made Tarara a captain, and was immediately sent out on missions. The missions varied greatly and Seijo was sometimes sent on missions too, ranging from picking up some equipment, to sabotaging infrastructure. Over time Tarara showed his leadership qualities again and when the previous leader died from old age, Tarara was designated to take over. Seijo wasn't bitter about being in his shadow so much, just wishing to do what was right for her family. But unfortunately Tarara didn't last long, as he was assasinated in the dead of the night by some special operations force from the Confederation. The fight didn't last long at all - Tarara and the few shinobi that were around put up a fierce fight but there were many shinobi, and not enough of the Red Sages. Before reinforcements could arrive Tarara was killed. There was no designation of leadership. To Seijo, there was no question who would take over. It would be her, or she'd leave the Red Sages and do the job herself. But when she claimed leadership, there wasn't anyone that wished to oppose her at that time. The fire burning in her eyes now was enough to dissuade anyone from attempting that, even if they had wanted to. 【Family ties】 The family Seijo grew up in wasn't anything special. There's no sobstories involved, with dead parents, loss of loved ones in the past, growing up an orphan. And there weren't so many happy stories, given that they were in Amegakure, which wasn't exactly the most peaceful nor rich place in the world. Never the less she loves her family, or what is left of it at the current point in time. After all, conflict breeds death. Tarara Tametomo \| Brother \| 30 at time of death, Amegakure, lord commander of the Red Sages. He always loved Red Panda's. Seijo didn't, and she regrets that now. Oiro Tametomo \| Father \| 56, Amegakure, ex-shinobi, currently has a ramen restaurant that serves to the poor. It also serves to the rich. Really, it serves to anyone, he just says he serves to the poor because that sounds better. Rei Tametomo \| Mother \| 54, Amegakure, ex-kunoichi and professional nagger. She likes to nag about a lot of things, especially about Oiro not making his ramen properly. 【Dreams and fears】 Seijo's dreams are really only related to destroying or atleast getting even with the confederation. Besides that she wishes to see her father and mother again in peace one day, but she realizes that that might not be a possibility. Another dream is to meet with one of the Choko siblings - Fujitora or Ayame - though she has heard that it's possible both are deceased since the Confederation took over. Her fears, well, she hasn't many, which has more to do with her attempts at being seen as a coldheaded leader. She ofcourse fears losing her life - she is human and every human fears this. But this fear isn't in the back of her head whenever she enters battle. A fear that is also present is the fear of losing her followers - while she doesn't care directly for their support, she knows she needs them to succeed in her goals. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Seijo is a medium distance fighter with a focus on utilizing jutsu to keep the enemy at bay and kill them. That aside however she possesses some strength and is capable of using taijutsu if she needs to as well - quite adequately even. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Fungus Release Description: The Fungus release allows the user a control over fungal-style plants and moss, which would be able to sprout from the users touch. Remarkably harmless in how it sounds, it's been weaponized quite well through years of practice. The origins of this release are unknown, but the uses are not. It doesn't manifest in clear sight, as the fungus used in this release are housed inside the users body, feeding off of the waste the host produces. As such the user has a notoriously quicker metabolism, as well as a noticeably lower rate of human waste dispersion. In use, the release manifests itself through the obvious moss and fungus it produces. The moss is highly flammable, but the large area of effect jutsu's that can be used with it can cause a spreading fire, or even an explosion, since the spores it releases are very dense. This might inadvertently trap everyone inside the technique, friend or foe, in a fiery vortex. Besides that, the moss has some interesting capabilities, such as genjutsu inducing properties, poison inducing properties or even a chakra and dead tissue absorbing quality, much a kin to real moss and fungi. Some specific branch of the fungi even have mind-controlling capabilities, but it's required to induce the fungal spores into the target by touch, after which it will grow it's way towards the targets brain internally and take over, collect info or possibly control them. Strengths: Versatile and allows the user to regain strength and chakra mid-battle through absorbtion of dead tissue. It's got a great variety for many situations and it's not obvious exactly what is going on with this bloodline limit until it's used. Weaknesses: Fire and (controlled) chakrablasts can somewhat easily deal with the fungi, although you have to be careful with the chakra since the moss can also feed off of it if used improperly. Besides that, it becomes easy to see what the bloodline limit entails once it's used, as it's obvious this is moss or fungus. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu Assimilate All Creation Technique B rank techniques: Barrier: Dome Method Technique 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Transportation Technique Rank: C Range: N/A. Description: Forming the tiger seal, the user sinks into the ground into a small circle of moss with toadstools in it, seemingly dissapearing. A simple transportation technique, this technique will then allow the user to appear somewhere else in the same circle of moss with toadstools in it, which seem to appear out of nowhere to anyone watching. The technique is usable in battle, but the sinking effect is slow allowing opponents to land hits while she is 'sinking' into the patch of moss. Never the less, the appearing effect is quickly, allowing Seijo to appear out of nowhere rather quick and attacking. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Invocation of Nature Rank: B Range: 500m diameter. Description: After forming a boar-hare-ram seal string, and then slamming the palm into the ground, the user can transform the area around themselves into a mossy field by spreading the moss inside their body rapidly over the land, capable of terraforming even the most arid lands into moss and fungus covered 'grasslands' which will quickly (10 minutes) give rise to many forms of plantlife and even small trees (30 minutes). This technique seems semi-useless but it allows the user to transform land into something both useful, and to create a place where she is at home. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Control of Nature Rank: B Range: 500m diameter. Description: Using the moss that is already present in an area, the user is able to control the fungus and moss to a degree, making it capable of grabbing feet, forming walls and also spreading it even further, as long as the controlled substance stays in contact with moss or the user. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Deterioration of Spores Rank: B Range: A cone of 20m outwards of the user, in a triangle shape. Description: Inhaling deeply and placing an open palm in front of the mouth, the user exhales and blows out a large amount of spores over the area in front of her, which carry a poisonous substance that can cause anyone that inhales the spores to start breathing heavily, growing stronger and ultimately choking them by growing fungal growths in their throat over the course of a week if left untreated. Anyone that gets into contact with them externally, such as skin contact, will develop rashes which burn heavily, but are non lethal and can easily be treated as well. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Fungal Chakra Sap technique Rank: A Range: Touch. Description: After spreading fungus from one person (user) to the other (target) the user is able to 'infect' the target with fungus, by touching them and so spreading the fungus and moss to them. The user might notice, but will find it is hard to get rid of the fungus once it's internal through the chakra tenketsu. Once inside, the fungus will slowly sap away the enemies chakra, eating it to strengthen itself. After approximately a minute, the chakra eating fungus will be 'full' and detach itself, either falling off of the body, or being taken away by the blood system of the target. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Hallucination of Spores Rank: B Range: A cone of 50m outwards from the user. Description: Inhaling deeply and placing an open palm in front of the mouth, the user exhales and blows out a large amount of spores over the area in front of her, which are infused with the users' chakra and can carry over a genjutu upon being touched by a spore. Since it's easy to be freed from a genjutsu this technique is generally used only when fighting small groups. The genjutsu is capable of doing pretty much anything a high level genjutsu can do, giving the user pretty much full control over the effects of the genjutsu, while using the subconcious of the target to identify and use psychologically harmful events. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Greater Deterioration of Spores Rank: A Range: An area of 1km in diameter. Description: Similar to the normal deterioration of spores technique, this technique can cover entire battlefields in spores, transmitting the poison to anyone that inhales the spores, and also onto any allies that get harmed. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Ultimate Siphoning Jutsu Rank: S Range: Medium Description: After covering a field in moss, the user will then use their Control technique to encase an opponent in a special type of moss that hardens tremendously when it comes into contact with foreign chakra. It makes it able to withstand hard blows from taijutsu, weaponry and most jutsu. Encasing the opponent, the user then starts using the moss to siphon chakra, and transfer it to themselves to refill their reserves. What makes this S-rank is the speed at which this occurs - within ten minutes a target will be drained of nearly all chakra, at which point the technique can be disabled and the target 'freed' although with the little amount of chakra they would have left, they'd be as good as disabled for the duration of the fight. Jutsu name: Summoning: Neki the Newt Rank: C Range: N/A. Description: This summoning technique summons Neki the Newt. Given the qualities of a newt, this newt is capable of high speed water traversal as well as shooting water out of it's mouth. It's size is medium sized (it's aproximately 2m. high and 4m. long) and is big enough to carry two people in it's mouth at once if they are standing up. Weaknesses: Weaknesses to all internal fungi, such as the inhalation of the poisonous spores, or being touched by either the fungal parasite technique or chakra sap technique are external chakra. This is due to the fact that the moss and fungi adapt to the targets chakra, feeding off of it for sustainability. Any external chakra will offset it and make it deteriorate, as well as the effects with it. As such you can be pulled out of the genjutsu with external chakra (as is the case with regular genjutsu as well), you can stop the effects of spreading poisonous moss and fungus due to the Deterioration of Fungus technique, although the effects it's had on the target up until that point will remain (i.e you won't get rid of the rash, or the internal burning sensation it created). A weakness for external moss (the spores in the air, or the moss on the ground) is that it's highly flamable, however this is also a strength because it can be used against you. “I do not give to receive - I simply take.” If I die tonight Higōhō is a man of reasonable build, especially considering he practices a mostly non contact style of fighting. He's not precisely buff, more like lean, but that's just the way he likes it. His arms are toned as well as his chest and stomach which is more or less the extent of his build. He has a rounded jawline, with a round chin, protruding slightly from the rest of his faces' contours. The skin on his face is rather tight - it wouldn't be possible to pinch and pull his cheeks. He has a very thin nosebridge, and a slightly pointed nose. If one had to label it, his nose were likely to be seen as about average sized. Some of his facial features that stand out a lot are his pure white eyes which conflicts with his black hair and the black shirts he always wears. Although his outfit always changes (he's quite aware of fashion, and although he doesn't follow the latest trends, he likes to dress in ways that make him feel good) he has one consistent piece of clothing in his look - his necklace. On this necklace is the mon of the Hamajō Confederation. One could say he is very much a patriot. And the nice things one can say about him end about there. Personnel files.

Hyuga. 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Higōhō isn't a nice person whatsoever. He's very sure of himself, cocky to some, arrogant to others. It doesn't help that he's not weak, either. He believes very strongly in himself, and although he's smart enough to know that he's no Madara or Pain, he knows he's strong. Not only is that because of the Byakugan, it's also because of his own hard work he thinks, as well as some natural skill he feels like he has. His cockiness and arrogance has lead him to become quite careless when conversing with people - you can call him an asshole, a lighter term would be being rude. Truth is, he just doesn't really care. If a girl asks him what he thinks of her dress, and he doesn't like it, he'll tell her the dress is ugly. If her face is ugly too, well, he'll probably tell her that too. Though that doesn't mean he would dislike this person, he just thinks himself above most people, so he feels a right to say that. Ofcourse, if he likes something, he isn't afraid to say that either. But he doesn't like that much things. In battle.. do I even need to say this? He's arrogant. He's a bit overzealous at times, and doesn't know his own limits, willing to take on things that are above his own skill level. But so far that's not really ever gone wrong terribly. Aside that, you can call him dumb, or you can call him brave, but he doesn't really give up. You'll have to kill him, knock him out, or cut off his legs and arms if you want him to stop getting up after you pummel him. To him, it doesn't matter. Dying is more honorable than giving up. Besides his arrogant appearance and his lack of care for people around him - the catch is that really he does care. Being a bastard child and - boo-hoo-hoo - not receiving a lot of attention, love, nurturing and care, meant that to Higōhō he had to appear like he didn't care, to not give his father the satisfaction of being broken by his lack of care. This carried over to his adult years. And while he might not care for others because he likes them, he cares for their well being since they are in the same battalion. So, he'll be very sacrificial if he needs to be, willing to give his life up for something like a mission or another person. 【History】 Higōhō was born 18 years ago, to a Hyuga side branch member and a woman of lesser morals. Not exactly a brilliant future ahead of himself, especially since he was born with the Byakugan and thus it was demanded that he was handed over to the Hyuga's He was immediately given the cursed seal on his forehead. A stain of shame on his father's reputation, and already that of his own. Not like a newborn baby was aware of such concepts as reputations. But during his childhood his father made it painfully obvious that he wasn't exactly wanted - 'an accident' - and later one even went as far as saying that he was a stain on the family name, a bastard child who was never meant to be. He shrugged it off, really, because at that point it became apparent that his father was a deadbeat, only allowed to stay in the Hyuga home because his drinking problem and gambling addiction would bring shame to the family if word ever got out. Most of his childhood he was micro-managed by the nannies and tutored by the older members. More often than not he was treated as a child that wasn't supposed to be there, but they put up with him regardless. He showed progress in using the byakugan, especially the gentle fist, as if some sort of innate skill with that style was already within him. Whether that was true or not remained to be seen but fact of the matter was he did good in classes. As soon as he became 7, he was sent to the shinobi academy, because a bastard child had nothing better to become than a shinobi anyway. He did well. Well enough, anyway. Didn't exactly want to be there but hadn't much other choice. At that point in time he had already thought to himself that his only purpose in life was really to be a shinobi - and to fight for the confederation. The confederate soldiers were sort of his heroes, warriors fighting to protect their homes, true patriots, yadda yadda. He loved them. So, he figured, why not become one? The Confederation took over at that point and since then his class was kind of filled with masses of kids. That meant that, even though there were many prospect shinobi that were at a good level, there were far more useless kids who were only there because their parents want them to be. And that meant Higōhō would stand out a little. Welp, he passed, no big surprise. Got to be a genin running around doing stuff like saving kittens from trees and stuff. It didn't matter, he was still a confederate shinobi, which felt good. It didn't take him too long to become a chunin - the Confederation took an interest in him due to the Byakugan, and so his promotion came rather easy. And here we are! 【Family ties】 His family is mostly the Hyuga clan - his father, ofcourse, and then the nannies and teachers that he worked with. The other kids, he supposes, were 'okay'. He didn't really got bullied, so that's a plus. Katso Hyuga \| Father \| 47, his room in the Hyuga estate, professional deadbeat. 【Dreams and fears】 He dreams of, one day, becoming a jonin and leading a team, or perhaps even becoming a captain for the confederation and entering the political world of the Confederation. Besides that, he kinda wants to live a calm life after his service. What a simple soul. His fear is probably dying by Curse Seal - it'd be hard knowing you're gonna die without being able to fight back. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Higōhō is a very close combat oriented fighter, using the gentle fist. He is a proficient gentle fist user, capable of ousting most other nintaijutsu users with his own, and being a force to be reckoned with even within the Hyuga clan. That is not to say he'll beat anyone, however. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Byakugan Description: I can copy paste this URL here or you can just read it if you have no idea about byakugan (you barbar). His byakugan has a maximum range of 12 km, though that's only when he's not doing anything intensive (such as fighting). 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Eight Trigrams Mountain Crusher B rank techniques: Gentle Fist (style) Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm Eight Trigrams Sixty-four Palms Eight Trigrams Thirty-two Palms C rank techniques: Palm Bottom Tenketsu Needle 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Eight Trigrams Vacuum Combo Rank: C Range: Very close. Description: The jutsu is nothing more than a combination of a gentle fist move with the vacuum palm move. First the user spins around on their axle, using their left/right hand (depending on the way you spin) to open up the victims' body by slapping away any defensive hand placements, before slapping their palm forwards and using the vacuum palm technique. “Watashi wa Kami - I am still God.” Over the past 11 years Yamato hasn't changed much - appearance wise - in comparison with before the Hamajo confederation arrived. He's grown in size, reaching up to 1.83cm by now. He still dresses the same - tshirts, a-shirts or sweatshirts with some form of jacket over them. He usually wears chino's like he did before, but has traded his slip-in's for a pair of black combat boots. Yamato is defined as a handsome boy, having a chiseled jawline and somewhat skinny-looking cheeks. His nose bridge is quite thin, although not as if it were a stripe. Contrary to most with a thin nosebridge, his nostrils are also thin. Besides that he has no specific bone structure related characteristics. His eyes are a deep dark green, but not so dark that they can be mistaken for a grey-black colour. In accordance with genetics they are slightly slanted. The most defining features on his face are most likely his 3 large, reddish old scars running across his nose. Yamato's body is 'normal' in terms of muscle and fat, though it's improved compared to 11 years ago. He has some obviously defined muscled due to the nature of their schooling, as a normal shinobi is expected to keep up with his athletic properties. His arms are skinny, meaning that the muscles there are by nature more defined, but due to hard training, they are also very much so toned to perfection. Without flexing you could most likely see the muscles regardless. The same goes for his legs. His chest is not very broad nor does it extend towards the front due to musclemass. As such he has a rather 'normal' looking chest. Regardless he does have some definition there, although you probably wouldn't see it very often due to his clothes. Personnel files.

Although as every other clan they have to grow with the times, and as such many customs have become merely symbolical and don't actually hold much significance. These customs are almost always on par with that of the other clans, since the clan is not much different from the others. That said, they have since their waning influence, dabbled more into even darker trades, and many of the Minamoru which were not shinobi, have become actively involved in the illegal arms trade, drugs trade, prostitution and other illegal activities. 【Special Traits】 Males are known to be born with black hair specifically, with the females usually being born with either black hair, or white hair. Chances seem to be 50/50 for either of the colour. Their eyes are green, differing only in coloration between dark and light green. The Minamoru do not have any hiden or kekkei genkai - in fact, they despise kekkei genkai and see it as a curse, where as hiden are seen as a pest, but 'acceptable.' 【Influences】 The Minamoru influence on Konohagakure was very, very big. Some of it was subtle, such as underground influences due to the Yakuza affiliations they have, or rather.. the fact that they lead one of the three largest Yakuza groups in Konohagakure, and dealt in things like Senju DNA, Sharingan black trade (rare) or even the drug trade. Their affiliations in this field are obvious to those involved, but to the outside world, it seems completely preposterous that the Minamoru, a powerful and high 'n mighty clan is involved in this. Besides that they were a huge economical influence 11 years ago, because they owned more or less 60% of all of Konoha's economical centre with Minamoru Enterprises. The remaining 40% is, thankfully for Konoha, not theirs since the other Yakuza groups were trying hard to wrangle control away from them. The fact that they own most of the economical centre should probably say enough about their economical influence but this is not to say that all this money flows directly into the pockets of the Minamoru clan - bribes, wages, etcetera all is paid from these funds. Finally the political aspect of the clan, which was not as big as it's underground or economical influence. Never the less it's still present - the fact that the Minamoru are a shinobi clan in essence (though, that is debateable very much so) gave them a small influence, and their alliances with other clans, as well as their feuds with some of the others, are a reason that they were politically well regarded, though not as high as the Hyuga or the Uchiha, or even the Uzumaki's although those have recently been more forthcoming towards the Minamoru. Ever since the death of Reijo at the hands of Fujitora Choko, the clan has fallen, and fallen deep. The only Minamoru of relative high stands are the shinobi, and even those have been falling ever so slightly. The only two remaining shinobi with a grain of honor left are Reijo's children - Rei Minamoru, a 25 year old medical kunoichi, and Yamato Minamoru himself, the heir to the clan after his uncle passes away. Never the less the clan has no estates left - all financial enterprises, shops, financial buildings were given away by Fujitora Choko to rival companies to ensure that the Minamoru held Yakuza group received no financing. Their political power waned as Reijo was the politician of the clan - the other Minamoru were regarded as too hotheaded and his uncle was a drunk, so he barely did anything with the clan. The Minamoru are barely a remnant of themselves, if they can even be called that. 【Relations】 Naito - the Naito clan is one of the clans that the Minamoru have been feuding with for the longest time. The feud started about 200 years ago, when both the Minamoru and the Naito were relatively new to Konoha. Ever since it's been dubbed the Feud of the Tiger and the Dogs. The long standing feud hasn't subsided just yet as members of this clan frequently clash - be it with words, swords, or politics. No longer applicable. The Naito clan is wiped out. 【History】 The Minamoru clan was founded quite recently compared to the other clans such as the Uchiha or the Hyuga. They were not part of the original founding clans, and migrated later as a result of economical changes. They weren't originally shinobi but quickly managed to adapt into a Shinobi clan effortlessly. They were comprised of highly driven individuals that wished to become the greatest at, more or less, whatever they attempted. It didn't always succeed, actually, more often than not, but you only need to give one glance to the current status of the clan to see how far they kicked it in those 200 years, compared to the Uchiha. Never the less they don't quite fit into Konoha - they are not so much underhanded, and wouldn't do anything to directly harm Konoha, but they are very self centered and do anything they do for the clan or themselves, not for Konoha. Konoha is simply a means to an end for them. Never the less a feeling of pride and honour is also common place in the clan so Konoha needn't worry about the Minamoru betraying them. They do what they do for themselves, or atleast so they say, but deep down most of the Minamoru are quite self sacrificial, especially the shinobi. Those that aren't in the shinobi trade are often a whole different breed of people, mostly simply normal people and civilians. In short, that means they have a tough skin, cussing, feuding, and appear somewhat rude and cold. Underneath that however are people that deeply respect tradition, hierarchy and self sacrifice. They might not show it but it's definetely there. Moving on, they also don't fit Konoha because they are very outspoken against kekkei genkai - and sadly for Konoha (or the Minamoru's, depending on who you ask) there are plenty of clans with kekkei genkai's. This has been reason for them to be a bit of an outcast-clan compared to others, distancing themselves from main Konoha, living outside the village. Up until the mid-years, between Sarada and Boruto's births, and current situation, they were insignificant, standard fodder clans. However it was then that they broke through with the arrival of the ronin, that fueled the underground Yakuza operations that some of the Minamoru were involved in. Due to this they suddenly raised in power unexplainedly, gaining more funds to further their political influence and economical presence. It didn't take long before Reijo took over 40-so years later, and furthered that all even more, expanding their influences rather rapidly. 11 years later, in the Hamajō Confederation, there's not much left of the Minamoru clan. All estates are gone, only the housing area remaining. Everything is, more or less, gone. Only Fujitora Choko and his 11th corps are to be blamed - that much any shinobi in the Minamoru clan will tell you. 【Rank】 Jonin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Yamato used to be seen as a thug or a criminal in the making. Not far from the truth given his father was the largest criminal in the entire village - something Yamato has no particular feelings towards since to him it was a way of life since his birth. However Yamato was never a criminal - he might've done questionable things during his services to the Hamajō Confederation but never anything that he'd consider criminal activity. Something else that characterizes him is his aggressive tendencies, as he is very very quick to anger and is, very much so, an asshole to everyone he meets. Those that know him for longer, such as Akio Tendou or Aoi Don Maquia will testify to this. Yamato is a bright young man, widely regarded in Konohagakure as a prodigy of attack. This is seen in his psyche as well, as the boy has shown aggressive and violent tendencies from time. Some would call it a short fuse.. and others call it being a thug in the making. Regardless of which is true, the boy also has shown impeccable resilience, steadfastness and a healthy dose of respect for tradition. Rumor within the Minamoru clan has said this is due to the amount of training that got instilled into him at an early age, and that he instills into himself daily even still. The boy also hates kekkei genkai for one reason or another, a sentiment shared by the entire clan, and some radicals even go so far as to wish those with a kekkei genkai dead. Yamato is a good student, and gets very good grades compared to those in the same years as him. He has shown a talent for, how could it be anything else, taijutsu and nintaijutsu, focusing especially on the offensive. This goes well with his aggressive nature and he is known to be able to take down opponents in a matter of seconds, although his defense is less than average. Despite attempts to convince him, his resilience has proven that fruitless. Then again, the boy has always been a prodigy and nobody has been able to prove that the boy might need a defense as well. This has affected his personality in a more or less negative way, although that is open to interpretation. The boy is somewhat- no, very arrogant, and while he wouldn't boast about his skills, he is fully aware of his status as a prodigy. This has given him the idea that he is above everyone else, and he has remained to keep this idea as he's been unhindered by anyone who could prove him wrong. Watashi wa Kami - in his eyes, he is God. 【History】 Pre Hamajō Confederation Yamato's childhood years were essentially a calmth before the storm. He spent his first four years as most children his age did - calmly in the arms of his mother, and playing outside. Then at the age of four, his father decided that it was time for him to become ready. Determined to make the clan greater than it already was, he hired a teacher who was to teach Yamato the basics about being a shinobi. No, he didn't learn any techniques, but learnt the mental side of shinobi's, namely rules, history and things you needed to know. This affected his school career indirectly as he had more background knowledge than most when he entered base school. During his time at base school he still had interest in making friends and preferred to learn techniques, practice taijutsu or throwing and fighting with kunai and shuriken. He often sparred with others, showing of his tenacious and aggressive nature in these matches. He often ended up fighting kids that were bigger and older, beginning to make a name for himself. He became a genin at the age of 12 like most others and went on to attend the high school to become a chunin. In that aspect, while he was a prodigy, he was like everyone else. During high school years he maintained a very steady level of training, to maintain his position within the clan which had grown by now. He became, more or less, the pride of his clan and family, and went unrivaled within the clan. In highschool he maintained a same degree of authority, although there were those that had problems with it, he found that he barely had any problems maintaining his position as the people that objected were often not even close to his level of mastery. Although this makes him sound like a hard ass, all he wanted was for people to more or less leave him alone. The only people he could really get along with was his own family. And even that was strenuous at times. Later, he became semi friends with Aoi, who had shown Yamato to be more capable than she let onto. Never the less they weren't ever close to friends - more so, being colleagues that enjoyed working together with each other more than if they had to work with others, the exception to that being Akio, who was Aoi's preferred companion for a long time. As for the hatred of people with kekkei genkai, it stems from the preconceived notion that people with kekkei genkai seem to think themselves special, untouchable or even godlike, and when you pair that with historical events focusing around kekkei genkai and being mostly negative (Infinite Tsukuyomi, Hyuga clan being a prime target to other villages), it results in a hatred that is widespread among this clan, which has seen it's fair share of bad luck to do with kekkei genkai during the centuries. Besides that Yamato is of the opinion that he could beat a kekkei genkai easily through strength and a superior will to work for something. Arrival of Hamajō Confederation During the arrival of the Hamajō Confederation Yamato played a part in the taking of the city. While he was defending the city at first, he switched sides halfway through after realizing that the Hamajō Confederation wasn't all that bad - in fact, it was better than Ayame and Fujitora. It didn't help that Fujitora was responsible for the death of his father - and in turn, the near death of his family. The Hamajō Confederation would have a larger chance to make his family important again. He arrived on scene near the 11th corps headquarters, which was where Fujitora was holed up. Finding himself trailing mostly behind dead bodies, he soon find the source of this - Yakoul. The cat-like person had slaughtered most of the 11th corps, including Saburo and Daiki, two people that Yamato had hoped to kill for himself. Above all, it had killed Fujitora - which was a crime in the eyes of Yamato, blinded by honour. Knowing better than to take revenge by attacking Yakoul, he simply boded his time. He got promoted within the Hamajō Confederation and is now a captain, or otherwise known as Jonin, largely in service at the Amegakure capital. However, recently he's received orders to go to the border area to investigate a compound, and meet with commander Yakoul, who'll be making further use of his services. 【Family ties】 Yamatos family was rather normal, if you keep in mind that he grew up with a family that was not only his father and mother but also included close relatives of those people. Given that his father is the clan head, he has always felt like the entire clan was his family, and not just his father and mother. As such he always felt a great drive to do well, for the honor of the clan. Furthermore the birth of his younger sister when he was 2 added to his drive as he was under the pretense that he'd get to, or even have to, teach her. Reijo Minamoru \| Father \| 43 at time of passing, Konohagakure, used to be often away on bussiness, was a politician and economist, it's said he has a pair of mistresses in any city. Mika Minamoru \| Mother \| 47, Konohagakure, restaurant owner and mother, she is a hard worker who never complains. Atleast she likes to think that she doesn't. Rei Minamoru \| Sister \| 25, Konohagakure, medical shinobi. Popular girl, but unlike Yamato she finds practicing boring and she'd rather spend her time away from home with friends. 【Dreams and fears】 Yamato secretly dreams of a world where there are no kekkei genkai as this would, in his eyes, greatly reduce conflict. Furthermore he dreams of making the Minamoru clan even greater than his father did, to outdo him in something that his father was already very good at. As for fears, Yamato fears causing death and dishonor to the clan, which goes without saying. Besides that he also fears losing respect from the clan and, to a lesser degree, to other shinobi of the Hamajō Confederation. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Yamato's fighting style revolves entirely around the attack, offensiveness and taking down an opponent with hard hitting blows. Defense is almost nonexistant in his style, as he barely needs it. He is extremely resilient, as mentioned before, and as such he can take a lot of hits of any kind without showing signs of pain. Besides that, he is also someone who never, ever gives up. As such he will keep getting up even if he knows he cannot win - an admirable trait to some and a sign of stupidity to others. Another aspect of his style is courage, in the form of never being frightened. He is going to be the first to jump into battle and he's going to do so with an aggression bound to shake hearts and silence voices. 【Ninja techniques】 B rank techniques: Katon: Great Fire Destruction C rank techniques: Katon: Great Fireball Technique 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Minamoru-shi: Nokori Onaji (Minamoru Clan: Remain the Same, 残り同じ) Rank: S Range: N/A Description: This technique is, more or less, what constitutes Minamoru's hiden. It was created by Yamato due to his reckless nature and desire to enter the fray as the first one in - which was a negative thing before. Now, that turns into a good thing. The technique utilizes a very very small amount of chakra, which gathes in a 'pool' of chakra within the user. In general, there's never been a time where the chakra gets used up so quickly in usage of the technique that it completely empties out. This passive ability consumes chakra at a very slow rate constantly, even when not in combat. Luckily Yamato's chakra pool is large enough to sustain it. This ability works through getting hurt - as strange as it may sounds - converting damage done to the user and turning it into raw power. In effect, that means that 'more damage input = more damage output' in simple terms. Muscles are stimulated by the damage, as well as the psychological will to fight on. This allows Yamato to press on past his normal limits - which were already extraordinarily high - and keep fighting even with broken bones, torn muscles or large gaping wounds. The drawbacks to this are, ofcourse, that he's going to be less accurate and skillfull, but more powerful. In short attacks will be more powerful but he'll have a harder time hitting, ofcourse that depends largely on the type of wounds too. That's not to say that he heals them instantly - if he receives a mortal wound, he'll die pretty much if he doesn't receive treatment regardless of the jutsu. But receiving wounds does make him stronger, both in how he feels and how he actually is. It doesn't make him less mortal - but he sees him self as a God. Would he believe he's still mortal? Jutsu name: Minamoru-shi: Chakurabāsuto (Minamoru Clan: Chakra Burst, チャクラバースト) Rank: A Range: 5m-10m Description: Releasing one fourth of the chakra stored in his pool for the Nokori Onaji technique, he releases a pure burst of chakra out of his entire body, causing a shockwave of chakra. This shockwave can extend between 5m and 10m, dependant on how large his pool currently is. The shockwave is powerful enough to send shinobi that don't hold themselves down on the ground flying, sending lightweights (80<kg.) flying atleast 20 meters at high speed, and sending heavyweights (80>kg.) stumbling out of the shockwave area. Objects are sent flying away too, such as kunai, leaves and other random items in the area. The jutsu isn't incredibly damaging on it's own, dependant on objects in the area. For instance, in an empty dirt field, there'll be no objects to send flying, and no objects for the enemy to crash into. So, damage will be reduced to perhaps some light scraping from scraping on the ground. In a forest, or a densely built in city, the damage will be more extensive, given that the enemy might fly into trees, rocks, buildings, roadsigns, etcetera. Jutsu name: Katon: Great Fire Fists Rank: A Range: Close Description: The technique begins by creating a short series of seals ended by a Tiger seal - although since this is Yamato's signature move, he has perfected it to the point where he doesn't need to form the seals any longer. After this the user flicks his wrists and they are set ablaze. Not yet taking a shape the user must focus the chakra around this area for a short period, in the case of Yamato a second or two. After this is done the fire becomes hotter, akin to a bunsenburner in heat, and the fire will take the color blue as a result. The resulting heat is enough to roast skin even if it's not touching the fire, and enough to severely burn anyone that gets in direct contact with the flames, enough to cause third degree (yes, that hot) burns when you get directly hit by a punch of this technique. Anyone standing nearby Yamato will feel the heat emenating off of the boy, whether they are friend or foe, before he leaps into the battle. The fire takes the shape of a lions head, akin to the two guarding lions that stand outside most wealthy places or places of public interest. Jutsu name: Katon: Great Fire Extraction Rank: A Range: Close Description: Yaoku's Revenge sets the user ablaze for a short time, appearing to others as an explosion. In reality it works as a distraction, while the user cocks his hand back which is then lit ablaze. The single hand will be heated up so much, that it overpowers even the Fists of a Tiger technique, heating up to the extent where it will be able to melt both skin, muscle and bone. The intensity of the technique requires so much chakra that it is pretty much useable only thrice. After the required heat is reached, a matter of seconds for Yamato, the user lunges forwards through the explosion he caused himself and launched his fist into the enemy, melting skin first, then fat and muscle, and finally bone before the hand cools down. If used effectively, and the hit connects, it will be a tremendous attack able to incapacitate or kill most enemies. But it requires accuracy, something that is often lacking when an enemy is moving around, and also because the explosion caused by Yamato would obscure his vision. Besides that, the attack leaves him rather exhausted, so that he'd have to retreat from the fight, something that Yamato could obviously never do. As such it's likely for him to overexert himself after using this technique. Jutsu name: Katon: Great Fire Bind Rank: B Range: 10 meter in front of Yamato Description: To be used in conjuction with the Great Fire Extraction technique, but useable on it's own too. This technique is not neccesarily a fighting technique, the sole technique in Yamato's arsenal that isn't focussed 100% on the offense. However it is used as a runner up to a very offensive move. After forming a boar and tiger seal, the user holds the tiger seal while a set of 2 fiery hands emerge from his back, quickly coming out at a rapid speed. These hands will head for the enemy almost instinctively, and grab the enemy by the arm. Once grabbed it will be virtually impossible to get out lest you have a teammate that is able to free you or you work out a genius way to break free. Because the hands are made of flames you will receive slight burning although the burns will not be harmful whatsoever, akin to a D rank fire jutsu if not less harmful. The true fear you should have.. is the follow up jutsu. There is a slight reaction time between being grabbed and the start of the technique, around 1.5 seconds, but dodging will only end up causing the hands to chase you for a longer time. The only true escape is to get out of the 10 meter mark, but that will be hard with just 1.5 second to escape. It's possible for ninja's with above average jutsu, however. Another weakness, aside from it's length, is it's weakness to both water and earth defensive jutsu, such as the earthen walls or the water techniques that send out half an ocean. Using wind or fire against these hands is nearly useless, matter of fact it's counter productive because adding more fire to the arms will have no effect, while using wind based jutsu on them will fuel the flames, speeding them up even more. Electrical jutsu are useless, too, because electricity will go through the hands. An extraordinarily fast shinobi (read: faster than Yamato) will be able to dodge the hands initially and then attack quickly after if he times it right, because attacking Yamato and forcing him to release the tiger seal will stop the jutsu. However, if Yamato moves but still holds the seal, the jutsu will continue. The time it takes to form the hands and attempt to grab the opponent is all within 1 post, but the actual act of grabbing depends on it being dodged/ran away from, and as such can only happen in the 2nd post. Jutsu name: Fuuton: Greater Fire Fists Rank: C Range: N/A. Description: Technically not a technique on it's own, but still classified as one, the user will not have to form any seals, instead he simply has to augment fuuton chakra in his fists and release it into his fists of the Fire Fist jutsu. Due to Fuuton acting as 'fuel' (fuel for fire is oxygen, a source and burnable material) the fire will begin to burn even hotter, turning the fire blue and causing the area it's used in to appear 'darker' or closer to nightfall. This is due to the bright source of light making the environments appear darker than they really are simply because of the contrast or difference in lightsources. Even on a blue sky, clear lit day it will appear as if it were 00:00 midnight. The fists of the Fire-tiger will burn so hot, the radius at which the heat can be felt greatly expands and even those standing close to Yamato during the usage of this will feel uncomfortably warm, and if they stay near long enough, might begin getting a serious sunburn. The main effect also increases, still holding onto the 3rd degree burns upon connecting a hit, but adding in the additional fuuton element of a highly increased knockback and a cutting effect, too. You will go flying most definetely when you get hit by this augmented technique, sending lighter opponents up to 100m away and heavy, fat opponents at a weight of 200kg about 30 meters. Furthermore, there will be slight cuts, as if you got hit by 20 kunai at once. Ofcourse, that's all superficial wounds - nothing life threatening, but definetely painful. Like most nintaijutsu, this is extemely destructive, but exerting at the same time. There is no real weakness to this technique, as it's not really a technique to begin with but more so an augmentation or reinforcement of another. As such, weaknesses of the Fists of the Tiger still exist, such as suiton jutsu or defensive doton jutsu. Even so, the usage of this extra fuuton jutsu will allow the user to simply brute-force his way past many of these jutsu anyway, most notably doton. Suiton will always be a problem for fire users and this technique is no exception. Jutsu name: Katon: Great Fire Bomb Rank: B Range: 7.5m Description: This technique is a secret trump card held in high regard by the Minamoru clan. Not many outside of the clan know of it, because it's a rather rough technique on both the victim and the user. The users can begin this technique by forming the Tiger seal, after which it cannot be stopped anymore. The user envelops themself in flames, starting out akin to any other fire technique and indistinguishable at this time, looking rather harmless. However this all leads to an explosion. An explosion of the user itself into fiery death. In essence it's a fiery suicide technique that will blow up the user plus anything within 3.5m of the technique, and will damage anything up to 7.5m around the technique. The bad side? If you use this technique you die. Jutsu name: Minamoru-shi: Jisatsu-ryō (Minamoru Clan: Suicide Charge, 自殺料) Rank: B Range: 50m. Description: Utilizing his Futoon element, the user 'boosts' his speed quickly by displacing air in front of him towards his back, to travel quicker similar to how an airplane gains lift. However, this technique isn't fast enough to create lift and neither is Yamato shaped in order to create lift.. However, this will give him speed. Using this speed the use pummels himself into the enemy ranks, most likely a larger group of enemies. The head on charge manifests itself into simply crashing into the enemies with limbs extended, punching left and right to get as many hits in as possible. Defense is NOT a part of Yamato's vocabulary. This can be easily protected against by, say, creating an obstacle like a doton-sphere to protect yourself/you friends (if you're friendly like that.) 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Backpack. Weapon, tool or object type: It's.. a backpack. Possibly filled with explosive tags. Description: It's a fucking explosive backpack bomb. Bag-o-bombs. EASY.
51,141	1,381	48	1,663	1,134	Yudai KageyamaAme - Suna - Konohagakure border, inside the barrier Red Sages The results proved better than expected. He managed to put many shinobi at bay, and the better - with a single technique. Sadly, he wasn't going to be let unharmed. A shuriken had lodged itself onto the back of his left arm, thankfully, not so deep to hinder his movements - but still painful. Stopping the earthquake, Yudai noticed something coming onto his direction - a poison bomb, together with many shuriken and kunai alike, apparently he caught every shinobi's attention with his little earthquake show, which had ceased by now. "Doton, Doryūheki! A sudden solid wall appared a few meters in front of Yudai, stopping every projectile. He redirected his attention behind them, right after, when a shinobi attacked him from behind with a kunai in his hand. Crap... The attack came pretty fast, but Yudai managed to save his life through the use of his signature technique. From his arms, an immense protective barrier of solid earth raised itself, stopping the shinobi and knocking him back, enough to give Yudai time to breath. Which he did, heavily. His chakra resources were being drained pretty fast with the many techniques he used, but Red Sages started to enter the area, finally - one of them taking on the one Confederate shinobi that had attacked Yudai. Seijo, then, appeared. Beautiful as always, ordering him around AS ALWAYS. Not that was a problem, though. Yudai mentally nodded, but he just stood still for a few seconds, his eyes searching for the red-haired girl from before. Hm. "She has already left." The boy formed a handseal, veeeery slowly sinking onto the ground. So, it was time to retreat - which Yudai was already doing. No point standing around. Quickly enough, the boy disappeared from sight, moving underneath the ground to leave this area before it was too late. UchihaAme- Suna - Konohagakure border, leaving the mist The Hamajõ Confederation Kaori swiftly made her way through the battlefield. The majority of red sages began to flee, but there was one - a white-haired woman, that fought against a Confederation jounin in a building, until the latter leapt off it, onto the ground. Kaori arrived the scenary at that point, but kept a good distance. Something told her that she shouldn't meddle with their fight, those shinobi were on a whole different caliber than Kaori. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the Hyuga... attacking himself? Strange, but she just shrugged it off. Perhaps his arrogance was coupled up with a level if insecurity and self-hate, who knew. Still, Kaori had enough time to see the commander getting a kunai straight into his skull. Twice. The sound was disgusting and the scenery wasn't any nicer; Kaori flinched, her eyes narrowing slightly. How could they get so far, was beyond her understanding.	Nero's Compendium! "Pillars are what support a structure, but if one ever crumbles, all of them will fall.” Yudai is a tall and somewhat imposing young man, standing at 5'8" \| 1,78m. His physique appears to be lean, but on closer inspection one could notice that he's in fact fit, with subtle musculature definition everywhere on his body. His hair is a dark brown color and often unkempt, as if he didn't care at all about the way it looks - this is slightly contradicting to the fact that his ears are pierced, which possibly proves that the boy does cares about his appearance. His pale blue eyes constantly flicker from point to point, rarely focusing on something for too long - some note that he always looks distant, as if not paying any attention to his surroudings. The Kanji on his clothes are 影山 (Kageyama, his family name). Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Every aspect of Yudai, at least externally and from his appearance itself, seems distant. His gaze is a constant reminder of this, given the way it roams the whole time, briefly pausing on his surroundings before he takes interest in something else again. Even when Yudai is directly talking to someone, he avoids eye-contact entirely and if someone even tries to stare at him or look directly at his eyes for too long, he'll become rapidly nervous and anxious and might even avoid the person in question for a while. Otherwise, Yudai is relaxed, but extremely observant. His mind is constantly noticing what is actually happening around him and thus, while others might see him as distracted and distant, he's the opposite. He finds his own life rather boring the majority of time which prompts him to search for enthusiasm on other things out on the world. He's also easily interested in hearing stories from others, or even simply listening others talk about their own life. He has his own ambitions of becoming a highly respected political figure or leader, one day. But on the way the world is currently, he shoved such ambitions away and for now, he's only focused on strengthening himself. 【History】 Yudai's birth came from the love between Reiko and Kohaku - sadly, however, Reiko died due to complications at his birth. While the expected outcome was his father to put the blame on him and give Yudai the worst life ever, in order for this story to follow the traditional hero backstory guide, the opposite happened. Kohaku Kageyama was a hard-working man. He used to be a powerful shinobi many years ago, but lost his left eye and his right hand was completely destroyed in the same battle, thus leaving him unapt for battle for the rest of life. The loss of his wife could've disgraced his life forever, but instead, he found new hope on his newborn child, Yudai - the name 'Yudai' itself, was to show the man's hope of a hero, not for the nation, not for the world, but a hero that would save Kohaku himself from utter depression. Which Yudai indeed did. As any other child, he was very, very curious about everything and from the day he began learning his first words, he'd frequently ask his father about everything. Even about the eyepatch the man wore on his left eye, about the bandages around the man's right hand - and when the man began explaining about shinobi, about the wars.. Well, Yudai only became more interested in it altogether. Often, Yudai and Kohaku spent hours chatting about whatever, the subject leaped from how eggs were produced to why the sky was blue. As he matured, reaching the age of eleven, Yudai slowly began developing a strange desire to be someone who had a high position. Power. He wanted to be esteemed in a way that people would admire and respect because of his achievements in life. Of course, it was too soon to think about that, and Yudai was a mere child with an ambition bigger than himself. For now, the boy focused on studying and training. He had taken an immense interest in shinobi. In fact, he spent more time reading about chakra, taijutsu and ninjutsu than he spent studying the school's subjects, which was the reason he almost failed the year. His father aided him when he could, he gave his son clear training routines and made him follow them strictly. He felt immense pride in his son following the same steps as him, while the same time, was divided with the fear that he could end suffering the consequences of a war - like the man himself did. But, the thoughts that peace had finally settled in eased that fear. When Yudai graduated, at the age of 14, he knew exactly that his dream of becoming someone with high power was indeed his true ambition. You see, he received quite the praise for being a dedicated student - even if he almost failed in the past year, he dedicated himself the most to studying this one and got amazing grades, impressing his teachers and father. When they openly talked about him and his dedication, his heart pouded inside his chest with what he could only understand as recognition. Time eventually passed, Yudai grew into a fine - and very attractive - young man. He noticed that women around started to take interest in him, perhaps it was the pale blue eyes, but honestly, he didn't care all that much. Yudai did had quite a few cases with one or another girl here and there, but it never blossomed into a true relationship, he was that type of guy. In fact, the older Yudai got, the more he found his life... boring. It wasn't no one's fault, truly. It was just that his ambition - it was something that seemed far away from his reach, impossible - it was as if he could fight his whole life for it and yet, he'd never taste it. Finally, Yudai finished highschool. It was the same year that he also offically graduated to a chunin rank shinobi - and the year he finally took interest in his own life, even if only just a little. It all started with one group... the Red Sages. Initially, Yudai was very confused about his choices, when he heard about the group, many wrong ideas filled his mind. But, then, he shoved them away - for he knew in the end, that it was for his own best. You see, the Confederation might've been good for the countries, but it left no option for those who wanted to be something bigger or greater. They had nothing for those who wanted... recognition. In the opposite spectrum, the Red Sages were everything; he knew from the start that if he put his power, his will and his life onto it, like an investment, he'd receive what he wanted in return. He heard it - could be rumors indeed, but they were fulfilling rumors of rebels seeking something greater than an illusionary peace. 【Family ties】 Kageyama is an old and traditional family. The majority of it's members were shinobi, with exceptions. They are divided, with a minor part living in Iwagakure and a larger part living in Konohagakure. In Konohagakure, Kageyama were known for running a restaurant which goes by the name of Yama-Yama.

Not only that, he also dreams of becoming an extremely powerful shinobi, in order to ease his own path towards greatness. He fears of not being recognized, or being 'just someone else' - a faceless individual who has nothing, no respect, glory of power. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Yudai is balanced between taijutsu and ninjutsu, rarely resorting to weapons or ranged weapons. He's very intelligent and tactical in his decisions, as if he had read everything there was to read regarding shinobi (which he probably did in his early life). See, while he's quite strong in hand-to-hand combat, Yudai's first choice is to always analyze his opponent. He appears to be MUCH more experienced and prepared than he truly is due to the manner he keeps himself extremely calm, in any situation. To him, a battle is nothing too different from his daily struggle with life itself. Normally, his Doton ninjutsu is used as a defensive manner, instead of offensively. Thus, he'll always avoid ranged assaults with it. Sometimes, he'll use it offensively as nintaijutsu, but only if he finds a true opening to do so. What Yudai lacks is withstanding power. He might have defensive methods with Doton, but he can't take many hits - neither last too long in a battle. His stamina isn't the greatest, nor is his chakra pool; in most battles, he either needs to drop his foes quickly, or avoid in a way or another fighting after he begins tiring. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: N/A Description: Yudai does not possess a kekkei genkai. Strengths: N/A Weaknesses: N/A 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: -- B rank techniques: Doton - Doryūheki Doton - Iwayado Kuzushi C rank techniques: Doton - Moguragakure no Jutsu D-E rank techniques: Doton - Doryū Taiga Doton - Doryūdan Doton - Shinjū Zanshu no Jutsu 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Doton - Kotai no Hakai Rank: A Range: Short/Self - hand to hand range. Description: This powerful technique developed by Yudai himself allows him to concentrate his doton chakra onto his hands and arms, coating them with a solid earthly surface. This requires minor constante chakra usage, but it's not very taxing in the long run. What taxes Yudai's chakra sources, however, is the uses this 'chakra armor' has. When used offensively, Yudai can promptly force earthly spikes to surge from anywhere on his arms - fingers, hands, elbows, shoulders; thus, he make turn what would be an easily readed attack onto an unexpected one. Additionally, this also has defensive uses, meaning that when under assault, Yudai can place his arms together and create a defensive shield that protects him from assasults. This defense is powerful enough to withstand some ninjutsu (especially katon), but is ineffective against futon and raiton. The chakra coating can last for a long time if nor the offensive or defensive effects are used, but whenever Yudai chooses to use them, he'll be drained very quickly. Jutsu name: Doton - Jishin Rank: B Range: Long - a large circular area around Yudai (35m roughly) Description: Yudai does the following handseals: Bird, Dog, Ram, Rat. Then, he leans down and slams both of his hands at the ground, causing a large area around him to erupt onto a shattering earthquake, those standing around him will find it impossible to stand without falling - and falling, means taking huge damage as the doton chakra breaks the earth apart and makes them wildly throw about. The center, where Yudai stands, is completley unaffected. This technique might sound powerful and it indeed is, if used in the center of a village for example, he could likely destroy whole buildings easily --- but he'd be killed before major damage was caused, so this is just an example. Otherwise, agile shinobi who can leap and move far away from the area will easily avoid it. If Yudai is attacked or distracted, it will stop as well. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Can be a term, i.e 'kunai' or it can be a self given name, i.e 'Revered Razor'. Weapon, tool or object type: What type of weapon, tool or object is this? Sword, axe, kunai, knife, blade, tanto. Omit if the weapon, tool or object name already designates this. Description: Describe the weapon, tool or objects appearance, and describe it's potentials and weaknesses. tl;dr how powerful is it and what does it look like. Be reasonable. “I hate... ... No, seriously. I can't stand anything that tastes too sweet. It's.. uhng. Bad.” Kaori has an average height and weight, standing at 5'5" and 127lbs, she also has a slender figure with only slightly curves, though one might notice that she was rather wide hips - from likely training and improving her own body. Kaori has a round face, with large eyes, a delicate and small nose and thin lips. Her jet black hair falls well past her shoulders and is often groomed, kept well clean and it even smells nicely; though there are always a few wild strands here and there. She dresses rather simply, keeping a black and grey theme in her attire. She wears a high-collared black shirt, with a short grey jacket with the Uchiha's clan symbol on it's back, a pair of fingerless black gloves and black shorts, together with a pair of knee-high black boots with metallic platings on their nose.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Kaori is usually seen as a cheerful young girl who's still inexperienced to the world's hardships, but that's simply because of her manner of expressing herself; she's kind, even gentle to certain extent and isn't fond of conflicts, always preferring peaceful manners unless using force is an absolute must. That's not to say she's scared of fighting though, Kaori simply adores friendly spars and testing her own abilities- otherwise, she wouldn't ever take training as serious as she does. Despite her cheerful nature, Kaori is not exactly a social butterfly. See, she believes that being positive and keeping her spirit high is helpful to herself and to others in a way. However, it's very rare for Kaori to approach someone and talk openly, rather, she's quite timid and avoids talking unless she's talked to first and usually, being talked to makes her very happy. When it comes to her clan, the Uchiha, Kaori takes high pride in them. In fact, she believes herself superior but doesn't voices it - unless she gets too excited in a battle, to notice. She views the Sharingan as a gift, but only uses it in battle when she clearly needs it, given she has this slight fear of overusing or overshowing her doujutsu, especially in consideration with the events of the past that has led others to develop a distrust towards the sharingan. This same distrust, is what makes Kaori very cautious about talking to strangers, after all, there is still some prejudice against the sharingan specifically, given the events of the past, given the way things are - given the Confederation's actions against some of Kaori's brethren. Lastly, Kaori is very comprehensible and whenever she relates to someone, she tends to become very interested in developing a friendship. She has no interest in any sort of romantic interaction, after all, she's pretty sure she's not the one to gather that sort of interest, anyway. 【History】 Kaori's early life has been quite different than the usual. See, both her mother and her father are shinobi - both also very strict in the sense of pointing Kaori in the same direction as them: Which meant she was trained from the day she could walk. Kaori had two siblings, both boys, one older by a few years and the other, two years older than her. Their names were Kichirou and Keiji, respectively. Kichirou was an arrogant man, see, he had the Sharingan and that very motive led him to be, simply put, an asshole towards mostly everyone. Filled with pride beyond limit, he thought of himself as utterly superior - being a prodigy didn't help. Kichirou was way above the average when it came to shinobi, with only eleven years, he achieved the feat of developing a second chakra nature which was the reason he was then hailed as a genius. Kaori was only six when this happened, while Keiji was eight - he had just entered school. Usually, both trained together but Keiji was too focused at school, he had a peculiar desire of being an inventor or scientist - Kaori could never understand clearly - that draws him away from the training fields. This was frowned upon by her parents, more specifically her father. The man had this strange... desire to blindly follow the Confederation, claiming that the Uchiha had to be a strong clan in order to prove and... redeem themselves. Kaori would only understand that years later. On a cold night, a few days before Kaori's 7th birthday, a scene marked her forever. Through her window, she saw both her father and Keiji outside, having what seemed to be a small discussion. The boy held some books under his arms and was apparently refusing a 'gift' that Kaori's father was offering him - a katana. From the little Kaori could understand, Keiji tried to explain to their father that he wasn't interested in becoming a shinobi and that he believed there were other ways to help and be useful; in the end, all she could remember was Keiji being severely beaten by their own father while all she could do was watching. This forever changed the way she saw her father. War changes someone, truly. That was what had happened with Kaori's father, he was changed, molded by war. Perhaps he believed that it would happen again and wanted his offsprings to be prepared, perhaps it was something else, perhaps he was simply put, insane. Kaori never quite understand his fixation with training and becoming stronger, but what she could understand is that her oldest brother wasn't the only gifted Uchiha of this family, for that night, Kaori's anger and fear evoked a power hidden within her; she awakened her Sharingan. However, she never told her father. Instead, that motivated her to train more. It wasn't to please the man, no, it was to fulfill herself. Her older brother could be as arrogant as she wanted, but Keiji was always there for her, and she, for him. The boy returned to train with Kaori and for the first time in all these eleven years, she had beaten him - and very easily, too. The excitement and buildup of this whole spar awarded Kaori with a second tomoe in her left eye and brought immense surprise to Keiji, but he promised to never tell anyone. During school, all Kaori thought was when it'd end so she could return to her training; she wasn't a bright student, honestly, but Keiji who was seriously smart helped her a lot. When she was close to turning 12, her oldest brother was found dead within the village's borders. This utterly crushed the family, but specifically, Kaori's father entered a state of depression. He treated the whole family as if it was their fault and practically locked himself in his room for a whole year, very rarely getting out. During this time, Kaori had improved a lot. By now, she had developed three tomoes on her left eye, and two on her right eye. Her reaction time, reflexes and precision had seen a jump, and so had her genjutsu and ninjutsu. Her mother, a genjutsu specialist, taught her a few things which aided her. Keiji had been awarded a prize of best student of the year or something akin to that which Kaori never knew roughly in the same date Kaori's sharingan fully matured. The following years went by swiftly, Kaori trained and improved, developing jutsu of her own - while her older brother started working as a project analyst or something of the sort, within the Confederate. She received a pleasant gift from him on her sixteen birthday: A sword, Keiji guaranteed her that this prototype was much more resistant and that wouldn't break or melt easily as the many other swords Kaori had destroyed until now. He also mentioned that the sword was specifically made to withstand katon chakra - and lastly, he made Kaori an offer. To join the Confederate, given her potential as a shinobi. She thought for a while, truth be spoken she was quite afraid of becoming as crazy as her father, but the girl ended up giving a wild smile and agreeing with him. 【Family ties】 As an Uchiha, Kaori'll have ties with mostly any Uchiha, period. But they're all pretty vague apart from her own family itself. Takeshi Uchiha \| Father \| 53, Konohagakure, ex-Veteran, temporarily retired-confederate jounin Takeshi retired due to his trauma after his older son's death, he has yet to recover. Michiko Uchiha \| Mother \| 44, Konohagakure, shinobi - genjutsu specialist Kichirou Uchiha \| Brother \| 26, Konohagakure, deceased Keiji Uchiha \| Middle-Brother \| 18, Konohagakure, confederate project analyst 【Dreams and fears】 Kaori has yet to find true dreams and ambitions to follow. She's young and still looking for something to, well, follow. Maybe an ideal. Honestly, her fears are very vague, as well. She partially fears her own father, but her biggest fear is losing her brother Keiji, who has been the closest person to her since ever. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Kaori focuses on using Fire Release to dispel of her foes, burning them down, together with very efficient genjutsu provided by her Sharingan. She's experienced in hand to hand, but it's easy to tell her taijutsu is her weaker side - even with the added aid from the Sharingan abilities provide her. While Taijutsu is a weak spot, her Kenjutsu is noticeably better, as her movements with a sword are clearly trained and precise, especially given she can use her blade together with fire release in order to increase it's efficiency. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Sharingan Description: The Sharingan (写輪眼, Literally meaning: Copy Wheel Eye, Meaning (Viz): Mirror Wheel Eye) is the dōjutsu kekkei genkai of the Uchiha clan that appears selectively among its members. It is regarded as one of the Three Great Dōjutsu (三大瞳術, San Daidōjutsu, Literally meaning: Three Great Eye Techniques), the others being the Byakugan and the Rinnegan. Strengths: Kaori's Sharingan is fully matured, meaning that it has three tomoes on each eye. This means that when active, Kaori is granted both abilities; the Eye of Insight, giving her the ability to see chakra in different colors in order to distinguish composition and source, an incredibly clarity of perception, meaning that she can see even very fast attacks with some ease and she's capable of minimum predictive abilities, anticipating an opponent's next move or attack and lastly, copy jutsu - but only those she has the ability and knowledge to replicate. Secondly, she's granted the "Eye of Hypnotism", which means Kaori can perform what is generically called Genjutsu: Sharingan. While there are various manifestations and purposes of the ability, the better known one is to, through eye contact, suggest thoughts and actions to a target, coercing them to divulge information or act in a particular way, potentially without the target's awareness. In extreme cases, the Sharingan user can take complete control of the target's body, forcing them to do exactly as the controller wishes; this control is visually indicated by the Sharingan's design appearing in the target's eye. Kaori's ability with this is actually pretty good, a momentarily eye-contact with her Sharingan active is enough to put her opponent in a dangerous genjutsu. Weaknesses: The Sharingan is a worldly known Dojutsu, thus, everyone should be able to recognize it instantly. This makes the Genjutsu very hard to apply, as all the opponent needs to do, is avoid eye-contact. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: N/A B rank techniques: Katon: Gōka Mekkyaku Katon: Haisekishō C rank techniques: Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu D-E rank techniques: Genjutsu: Sharingan While Kaori is skilled to certain extent, she has yet to achieve a grand power-level with genjutsu used through her sharingan. In a brief eye contact, she can merely put her opponent(s) in a simpler genjutsu, that requires little to no effort to break them (if they know how to do so). If there is prolonged eye contact however, she'll be able to cast greater genjutsu. 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Ken Katai (Fire Sword) Rank: C~A Range: Self / Sword's Range Description: Kaori flows an intense blazing chakra through her sword's blade, coating the whole blade with it. The more chakra she uses, the more noticeable it gets given the sword's blade begins turning a slight shade of red - until reaching the maximum, a deep crimson color. The amount of chakra also changes the effects and their strength. If Kaori only uses a minor amount of chakra (C rank), the blade's cutting power increases slightly, the heat makes leave dents whenever it strikes another simple sword or iron object, if in contact with skin, it burn while it cuts. If moderate chakra is applied (B rank) her sword becomes denser and can cut through other swords of average material with some force applied. If it cuts, it will instantly seal the wound - preventing blood, but causing immense pain. With the maximum Kaori can achieve (A rank), the sword's heat raises it's potency to where it could easily cut through iron and even steel, as well as bones with ease. This technique, if applied on an average sword, would only last a few seconds at maximum potency due to how the chakra would also melt the blade it was applied to, itself, but Kaori can keep this technique up for as long as her chakra allows due to her own blade, which would be two to three hours with C rank, one to two hours at B rank, and only two minutes when it achieves the maximum heat (2~3 posts, depending on the time ICly). Jutsu name: Genjutsu: Burning Hell Rank: B Range: Medium Description: Kaori does the required handseals (Tiger, boar, dragon) while she takes a deep breath, then, she exhales the air in the form of a strange smoke that will divide and proceed to form a circle around a small area, before igniting ablaze. This fire, by itself, is harmless. However, if an enemy feels the fire's heat, they'll slowly fall onto a genjutsu prepared by Kaori together with this technique. The heat will increase even if they move away from the flames and they'll eventually increase to the point where it's unbearable, the opponent might try to take their clothes off, throw water onto their body, drink water - no matter, it will never work and the heat will only increase, eventually they'll feel as if every drop of water in their body has been dried and pass out, if the genjutsu is not broken. 【Weaponry, tools and objects】 Weapon, tool or object name: Hinõken Weapon, tool or object type: A katana. Description: Hikoken looks like a simple katana, with a red, beautiful handle. The sword is of excellent craft and it's blade is chakra resistant, allowing the wielder to flow their chakra through it - the blade is specifically repective to katon chakra, which is the reason it was given to Kaori. “Let's end this quickly.” As usual to Uzumaki, Naomi's hair is a crimson red, it's short - with two bangs framing her face and the back is spiky, styled per her own taste. She wears simple silver earrings on each ear and a thin black eyeliner, meaning that she seemingly cares about her outward appearance. Her eyes are a vivid green, intense and large, usually her most prominent trait when one looks directly at her face. She's always wearing a scarf around her neck, the color varies but she usually sports a mix of red, green, yellow and dark orange scarves. Naomi wears a sleeveless dark gray jacket with a simple light gray blouse underneath, a pair of red fingerless gloves that reach her elbows (the seals of her Kuchiyose: Raikō Kenka are placed on the gloves) and slate gray tight pants that are tucked onto a pair of black boots. Notably, the only visible color on the woman's figure is her scarf and her hair. Her figure is slender yet curvaceous, with notable curves adorning her body. Some satchels are seen; one wrapped around her left thigh, another on her right shoulder and a larger one on the right side of her waist. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Naomi is usually seen as arrogant and stuck up due to her cold demeanor and for being otherwise cool-headed. Thing is, she's not arrogant or stuck up, she simply takes being a shinobi as her life, in and out of a mission or task; she's focused, always, and eliminates any emotion that could possibly disrupt her performance. Considered cruel by those who are more sensitive than her, Naomi takes the death of comrades lightly, analyzing it often with 'the enemy was a better shinobi than him/her', this is not entirely true though, Naomi feels the death of a comrade as anyone else capable of feeling would, she just keeps her suffering to herself and hides it entirely. Being so cold and closed off emotionally, it's hard to befriend anyone - not that she wants to, anyway. Naomi doesn't cares about forming bonds with others, surely there has been an increasing trend of forming bonds within the younger shinobi, but she denies them completely. She also doesn't care about hostility, insults or whatever else, she ignores them completely and even when provoked, she keeps the same stoic expression she always has. In battle is where her emotions flow with intensity above her usual: The adrenaline makes so whenever she's hit, she'll smirk or grin smugly, whenever she hits something, you'll see the same smirk but much broader than before. The more fast paced a battle is, the more she'll enjoy it thoroughly and the more she'll dedicate to the fight. Still, it's very rare for her to exchange words with the opposing shinobi, given her self-control that's dominant even above the adrenaline. Talk about dedication, Naomi is very dedicated to her job as a shinobi - and well, to everything else. As one of her philosophies in life, which is to do everything you do the best way you can, she truly dedicates herself entirely whenever she needs to do something and despises those who's nature is being lazy and avoid hard-work. She also tends to despise those who are gifted with power that requires no true work whatsoever; an example would be those who possess the well known dojutsu (Sharingan or Byakugan). This is a bit hypocritical given she's gifted with the Uzumaki's clan natural strong lifeforce and chakra resources. She sympatizes the most with individuals who are similarly hard-working and dedicate themselves in something and may be willing to interact with them, but forming any close bond is practically impossible as of now. Commonly, Naomi spends a good portion of her day training and improving herself. Distracting her from that usually ends with a huff or a sigh, or any minor sign of annoyance that she'll allow herself to do. Still, she won't scold anyone over anything, ever - she's calm and collected, after all, not arrogant and stuck up. She's actually pretty fine with aiding others if they need so (with training or whatever else), even. She may be a bit self-centered and cold, emotionally, but she's not a psycho who's only emotion ever is adrenaline while fighting. To certain extent, Naomi is capable of being friendly, it all depends the mannerisms of whoever she talks or interacts with. Highly concerned with herself, Naomi fears death above everything else, despite her otherwise cold demeanor and the way she enjoys fighting. When an opponent is clearly overwhelming and above her skill level, she'll... fear them. Of course, trained to hide her emotions, she won't show it at all. This extends itself to allies, out of all the things she's ashamed about herself, the fact that she couldn't possibly put her life in risk in order to save another's is her 'biggest shame'. 【History】 Two Years ago. Naomi's eyes briefly flutter closed, reopening to look down at her extended right palm, a hitai-ate with Konohagakure's symbol resting over it, together with blood that was slowly being washed away by the rain. The girl looks up at the sky, raindrops mixing themselves with the tears that silently made their way down her cheeks. She closed her eyes again. Next to her, was a corpse - a female, with a pale white hair, she was clearly dead - with some blood under her, slowly mixing itself with the water from the intense rain. Suddenly, the kunoichi falls onto her knees, she's completely wet due to the rain at this point. Her palms rest against the ground, pressing the hitai-ate firmly against it. She sobs quietly, but only for a moment before taking a deep breath to recompose herself. "Is this what I'm fighting for? This is what the Confederation has to offer me? THIS IS PEACE?!" With her left hand, Naomi punches the ground with all the force she could muster in her current state. It does nothing. "That's the very least the Confederation will offer you, my dear." A mysterious voice. Masculine. Naomi instantly stood up and held a kunai up, looking around her in an attempt to find it's source. She couldn't see anyone, at all. "We, the Red Sages, we only retaliate against the Confederation's attempt to CRUSH us time and time again. We provoked a war, but only to reclaim what's rightfully ours." The voice, this time, was directly behind her. When she turned, ready to strike the kunai onto the man, he had already disappeared, or so it seemed. He was so fast, that she couldn't keep up with his movements despite how close he was. When she turned, he grabbed her wrist and twisted it back, forcing her to drop the kunai. At this moment, Naomi knew that whoever this man was, he was powerful. Her eyes widened and her breath fastened, she was fearing the outcome of this: Her death. "Do you realize? My only desire was to explain you why your friend lies dead at your feet. Why this system, this PEACE is nothing but a bold lie, explicitly shoved down the throats of all brain dead imbeciles that follow the confederation's tyranny out of nothing but FEAR." Suddenly, the man threw her hand back, grabbed her by both shoulders and shoved her down, forcefully throwing the girl onto the ground. As she looked up, directly into his eyes, he smirked. Those eyes... The Sharingan of the Uchiha, most certainly. And then, she feel in a genjutsu; not to torture, not to destroy her. It was a different genjutsu, that Naomi had never experienced. She was seeing through his eyes - it all, whenever it was a lie, it was vivid and felt real. It... was real. And she could hear his voice in the back of her mind, explaining in detail what she was seeing. The struggle and suffering you are seeing, it's product of the Confederation's corruption. Of it's failed systems, of it's members extravagance and luxurious life. While he explained, she saw it all. Robbers risking their life for a loaf of bread, farmers struggling with what little they had... Then, acts of tyranny; overwhelming attacks from masses of Confederation shinobi against small rebel camps and not only that, they attacked shinobi and average folks alike, even farmers that were simply next to the rebel's camps, all were destroyed, nearly instantly. Some rebels rushed to defend themselves, but were quickly put down; there was a prominent figure that stood out in the Confederate's forces, someone Naomi knew. Then, darkness. Everything became dark. (You may close the rainymood now, if you were so kind to keep it open in order to increase immersion) When she woke up, she was in a crude basement of sorts. Crude, but functional. Many red-sage shinobi moved from a place to another, some carried wooden crates, others were simply chatting about. When she sat up, she was approached by the same figure as before: he looked far less intimidating. There was some movement, people stood up and moved away - soon, she was left alone with him. And then, the offer was made; to join them, or be set free. Strange, weren't they carnage-seeking devils? The man naturally explained their whole cause. In the end, after everything she had seen through the previous genjutsu, she couldn't refuse. Someone had to stop the Confederation. At first, it was difficult taking such an enormous step that changed completely her life - and the majority of the red sages distrusted her presence as a whole, being previously sided with the Confederation. But, on her first missions, minor or not, as a red sage, she showed that she had indeed placed her loyalty with them. After being showed the truth through such a brutal manner, it was difficult not to. As a side note, this is only the chapter which explains how Naomi switched sides. She's currently secretive about being a part of the Red Sages, nonetheless. 【Family ties】 Naomi's family was healthy until the death of her mother, which threw her father in an enraged state; he then became increasingly harder to deal with. The man took his own life when Naomi was seven, that changed her forever. Aika Uzumaki \| Mother \| 39, Konohagakure, deceased at the age of 26 Itama Uzumaki \| Father \| 42, Konohagakure, took his own life at the age of 30 【Dreams and fears】 Naomi dreams of one day overcoming her biggest fear, which is dying currently and she wants to find a way to stop feeling fear as a whole, knowing that such emotion is a result of cowardness. Note that overcoming death is not, well, dying. She just knows that clinging so much to her own life as a shinobi is rather embarassing. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 With an enhanced life-force and vast chakra resource, Naomi is certainly not above keeping a constant offensive on her foes, only falling defensive if she's overwhelmed or outnumbered. Her speed, agility, flexibility and reflexes are impressive. She has trained herself to have some great precision with her attacks, as well. From a medium distance, she's dangerous due to her shurikenjutsu prowess and in close-combat, she's a force to be reckoned with. Long distance, she falls short due to the drop in effectiveness of her shurikenjutsu. She also lacks effective defensive mechanisms, relying on dodging and avoiding being hit to keep herself safe. Her endurance is solid, as any Uzumaki - so is her stamina. In drawn out fights against opponents of the same level as her, she might have advantage due to taking much longer to get tired. Due to her chakra being vast, she's capable of utilizing the Shadow Clone technique, often gaining an advantage on single fights. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu B rank techniques: Kage Bunshin no Jutsu Kuchiyose: Raikō Kenka C rank techniques: Kuchiyose no Jutsu D-E rank techniques: Kaifū no Jutsu Kawarimi no Jutsu Shunshin no Jutsu 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Raiton: Kaminari Yoroi (Lightning Release: Thunder Armor) Rank: B Range: Self Description: Naomi covers her body is lightning chakra, using the lightning to stimulate the her nervous system. By speeding up her neural synapses, she's able to react faster, and to push physical prowess to the absolute limit, allowing for tremendous raw speed. This, combined with Naomi's natural agility and reflexes, turns her into a fearsome opponent while active; it also enhances her lightning release techniques, allowing her to perform nintaijutsu moves and react to things that she otherwise wouldn't be able to. The chakra usage is not as intense as it looks on Naomi, given her vast chakra resources, meaning that she can keep this technique up for long periods of time. Wind techniques can shut the technique down, even if temporarily. This techniques does not increase Naomi's raw strength, only her speed and reflexes. Jutsu name: Raiton: Keikai Denka (Lightning Release: Nimble Charge) Rank: C Range: Close Description: Lightning Chakra is focused on Naomi's arms and shoulders, she'll dash recklessly towards a foe with immense speed produced by the previously activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode and attempt to slam them with her shoulder. This attack is simple all in all, but it's effective given the speed Naomi travels from her current position to her foes' position. If it hits, the opponent takes both taijutsu damage and the electricity might shock them for extra, yet minor damage. It may also cause minor damage to Naomi's shoulder, too. Jutsu name: Raiton: Kaminari Shuriken (Lightning Release: Lightning Shuriken) Rank: C Range: Medium, long with less effectiveness Description: Naomi produces three handseals (boar, dragon, snake) before taking a number of shuriken onto her hands and channeling lightning chakra through them, after she throws they'll gain speed and piercing power, able to break through minor earth release defenses. If they hit someone, the opponent'll receive a much deeper wound than they would to an average shuriken, and electricity will shock their body internally, causing weaker shinobi to fall unconscious if they're hit by more than five or so. Stronger nin could easily resist this, though. Jutsu name: Raiton: Kiyomemasu (Lightning Release: Cleanse) Rank: E Range: Self Description: A simple technique that functions with the same intent as the use of Kai to liberate yourself from a genjutsu. The difference is that if Naomi notices herelf under a genjutsu, she can simply do a single handed seal, producing lightning chakra of her own that enters her body and, if need be, even travels to her brain's vessel network and eliminates any foreign chakra that is trapping her under a genjutsu. The difference between this and the average method of leaving genjutsu, is that this technique acts faster and only a single hand is needed, if she's paralysed or restrained. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Many, many shuriken. Weapon, tool or object type: Shuriken Description: They are shuriken, sealed and ready to use in a random basement. They're likely summoned when she touches her wrists, the end. Weapon, tool or object name: Some kunai. Weapon, tool or object type: A kunai. Description: Usually kept in the pouches she carries with herself. Useful kunai. Weapon, tool or object name: Explosive Tags Weapon, tool or object type: An explosive tag. Description: They're explosive tags, but she only carries a small number of them to avoid accidents. Kept in a pouch on her shoulder. Weapon, tool or object name: Wire strings Weapon, tool or object type: Wire. Strings. Description: Usually used in conjuction with shuriken for unpredictable effects.
51,142	1,381	49	2,089	1,979	Yakoul Kakariko The Confederation's General of Armed Forces The very super fucked Compound of the Festival Yakoul beamed at Tanaka like a child enthusiastically smiling over achieving something. It even blushed so much it was charmed by how she behaved, picturing her like those annoyingly loud minuscule poodles barking at and harassing a stoic mastiff that could very well just bite off its tongue. She had caught the feline in a good mood and in turn made it like her for some reason. Heck when she complied nonetheless, something an unpredictable tyrant like Yakoul just loved, it wouldn't help but be mesmerized by the impression she was giving. "Fuck girl, s'cuse my motherfucking French but these Bijuu sized balls you have are more than what I've seen in any man these days." It flicked her little nose before slowly, almost mechanically, turning its head to the shorter Mirai who questioned the need of a speech. Raising an eyebrow, to the cat it seemed like common sense, or lack of, to make a grandiose speech after such a tragic event to get people all rallied against the Red Sages. She didn't seem strong of will like Tanaka, which didn't matter, because that just made things all too good in an objectified perspective. Mirai would be the introvert and Tanaka the extrovert, blue and red. The coincidence made Yakoul feel like a lucky duck today, though the same couldn't be said about what would happen after. The animal simply patted the maimed shinobi's head before giving a first glance to their 'opponent'. Burly guy, seems pretty young, and not the leader. To Yakoul he was already fodder who took himself way too seriously and that glaring trick, though having an intimidation factor, didn't do much when realizing the general was well beyond Katsuko's position in the foodchain. Yakoul stepped forward, the tip of its tail caressing Mirai's cheek gently before swiftly sliding over the flat chest of the hothead to get her even more riled up for the upcoming confrontation. "Fuck me running, this guy's worse than that extremely gay lady that's suppos- Oh wait you're here." Its attention was so thin that with just the call of its name its left ear perked and oriented itself to the sound in reaction. Yakoul took notice of Akio actually trying to confront something out of her league. It was funny, because her current state as an alcoholic was known among anyone with a brain, even Yakoul. Katsuko had already lost any form of credible presence to the Confederation's general. "Akio, lesbo dyke cunt eater extraordinaire, the fuck do you think you're doing?" Yakoul asked, biting down its jaw while moving its articulations to cause a loud crashing noise upon finishing its question. She asked for help, and it didn't really want to. Actually the cat didn't really want these rebels to completely fail, yet. Would suck to just end the game now, not that they would need its help, but it could refrain from making it harder and promote the risks. Then Seijo actually moved her asshole to finally do something about Akio. The spores released toward her could be smelled by the creature from its position, and while it couldn't guess what it'd do, the visible effects it would have on Akio's skin upon contact would make it start laughing while slapping its thigh in humor. "Pahahahahaha! Oh shit fuck! Guess that burns more than the disgusting bullshit you drink to compensate pussy. Like fucking seriously, fighting the queen bitch? Are you perhaps ... Retarded?" Scolding Akio, while crashing its jaw again in a bizarre fashion, it kept a solid eye on Katsuko who had the green light to handle Yakoul and the other confederation members around. At least it could see a bit more action, this time with some mad skills in the mix. Speaking of which, it didn't get to see from the two ladies behind it. "Oi, ladies. Wanna try and handle this cunt while I try to rescue that chickenshit commander?" It said whilst marching forward without even its guard up, practically walking up to Katsuko as if he were just some harmless ornament, attempting to just pass him so Yakoul could have a better glimpse as to what Seijo and possible some of her colleagues were doing. It almost felt inclined to save the commander at the last minute, even if it completely stole the feline's kill and left a really angry Tametomo on the loose. Though before it would nonchalantly cross paths with Katsuko, it would capture a really gritty and ugly sound. The echo of a crush being stabbed, and quite unfortunately sounded like it came from the leader given her last position. Upon further inspection, the commander seemed to have indeed had his life taken rather quickly by Seijo. Puffing its cheeks, Yakoul wasn't too happy about this and would even voice it concern. The female commander made it clear for the public to see this death, and Yakoul wasn't anymore surprised by it than it was about its toast burning the other day. "Uh-huh. For a vengeance that was pretty fucking anticlimactic, queen bitch. Like hell, if you break one of my bobble-heads I'd fucking rip you to shreds for weeks. The fuck are you thinking?! Ugh. Now I have to even the score somehow. Guess I'll go with ...~" In the middle of a high tension moment where Katsuko could really just strike Yakoul whenever, the animal talked like nothing bad could happen. In a sense it expected the two girls to actually cover it, not that it would need too much assistance. Meanwhile, it simply pointed its index fingers upwards and swung her hand in a small circular motion as it seemed to be randomly choosing something to compensate what Seijo had just done. And out of the blue, the pointed peak of the claw ring wound point directly at Nori who had the misfortune to just want to help his leader. "You?" It asked in the most mundane yet sinister fashion possible. The creature's killing intent was pointed directly at Nori's soul, though everyone in the area could feel the cold lust for blood the beast emitted. Cracking its jaw for the third time, it grinned while the boy would understand why it was called the 'Overwhelming' Killing Intent. It didn't move for now, as it didn't actually announce whether it would actually even up the score now or simply make it a future vendetta in which Nori's days would be counted anyway, unless of course something else would catch Yakoul's attention. In other words, he'd have a high chance of survival, especially since Seijo ordered a retreat. Arima Shuu - Tametomo The Red Sages Harvest Festival, Gone to Ruins Sighing in relief, they didn't seem to be actively looking for him at this point, plus things in the compound seemed to go rather well for their leader. Keeping his head low, Arima scouted for possible allies he could fall back with, but many had either already retreated in the shadows or were gravely wounded and in broad daylight. But then, he'd notice her, Chieko. The girl that got his 'game' on a little more than usual, even though she clearly demonstrated her superiority in prowess, Arima always managed to make a better imagine of himself than she did. Nonetheless, he had a thing for her, and seeing her go back into action activated the honorable knight in him. However, upon noticing how close she had gotten to certain enemies that couldn't see her from their angle unlike him, he'd have the realization of his life. The redhead's face, the reason why she gave this familiar feeling whenever he'd observer her. She'd probably be one of Chieko's siblings, which at first made the boy feel better, until he remembered that he actively tried to kill her. His heart sank and he prayed this wouldn't go viral, even if no one in the Red Sages actually helped him. Speaking of which, he'd likely be bitter and all high and mighty about it back at camp. Jumping down from the roof he was hiding on, he'd attempt to make a small signal to the powerful young red sage by reflecting light off his boot on her eye, but before he could do it with any success, his cousin would finally make the announcement that they were to retreat. He couldn't see the scene she tried to display due to his attempts to stay hidden, but it meant that either she killed the commander or captured him. In any case, his heart raced as he tried to get Chieko's attention once more, reflecting the ray of light on her eye to annoy her. "Psst. C'mon. We gotta ditch this place." Arima whispered once he got her attention, standing right next to a darker alley they could use for a swift escape. His voice was lightly too weak for her to hear, hence why he'd articulate enough for her to be able to read his lips - because he totally removed his mask like an idiot to show off his scar. That and it was likely the best way to get around without being detected or using electronic communication which sometimes had its downsides with his choice of ninjutsu. He kept his eyes wide open, not wanting to hoard anymore glory in this wasted place.	Spode's Magical Character Emporium of Wonders V.2! DLC pack Coming soon. Buy Season Pass Now! “I'm gon' fuck me some motherfuckers.” 1m75 - 72 KG At first glance, it is almost impossible to not have any preconception regarding Yakoul's normal appearance, an issue that costed the lives of many. Yakoul looks like the typical cat-human people see in various media and have bizarre fantasies about, though the reasons behind its current for are a lot less fantastic. Everyone notices the white cat ears and the long tail, which various in size for no apparent reason, and would usually dumb it down as 'too cute to be threatening'. That's until they see its teeth. Otherwise it can also alternate its cat pupils, usually forming them when in combat. They're orange regardless of the form. Now that the kitty aspects are out, the next issue is ... Well the rest. Its silhouette is completely androgynous. Somewhat curvy bottom part but facial traits that look more like a young male teen's than a female's. Its chest appears to look more like pectoral muscles than breasts. The hair style doesn't help either, being short and curly/messy. Its gender will always remain a dark enigma those in the Confederation hope to crack some day. Or not. Freaks. In terms of attire, it wields a navy blue, long sleeved shirt with golden buttons in the center. An orange pair of shorts to keep its legs warm along with long, same colored socks that nearly reach the knees. It does not wear sandals, ever, but a pair of navy blue shoes it can easily slide on its feet without having to deal with laces or velcro. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Yakoul earned the title of War hero and trump card of the Confederation's army 11 years ago because of its genius regarding the Art of War and overall capabilities in the field. A lot of it is true, as Yakoul has never backed down from a fight (doesn't mean it never lost), winning against any type of individual conceivable, whether they are intelligent, dumb, strong or frail, it always found a way. This much praise made it a main figure to the Confederation's political and social life, despite all of it being based on prestige told by the Confederation itself. Many know of how ruthless Yakoul is, breaking the 'cute cat' image it once had, but the details remain rather vague and exclusive to inner circles. In truth, although it wields the willpower and charm of an extremely successful warlord, it is undeniably an unpredictable force of malice no one other than the top ruler of the Confederation has managed to tame. It holds the nickname of monster for a reason for anyone who has actively been an obstacle to the feline has lived the merciless and downright cruel fury of the beast. Only through tactical advantage does it show mercy, otherwise it has no qualms in exposing its perverted and sick mind to those it simply wants to rob something from. Ironically, apart from war, it is an individual completely absent of common sense. Mundane activities are engaged in the most eccentric and downright surreal fashion with this critter. Despite emitting one of the most foul presences in the entire world, it has a surprising way of illuminating rooms for people it shares a sense of camaraderie with to avoid getting bored. Indeed, it has a terribly thin attention span. Speaking of comrades actually, as monstrous as it may be, it built itself a rationale that gives actual human value to its close colleagues, only to use their deaths as a catalyst to fill itself with anger and many other emotions to slaughter superior enemies. Does it feel something when someone close dies? Sure, and it knows it, hence why it uses it. Keeping up with unpredictability, its behavior has been deemed so sporadic, it is impossible to truly form a friendship with it. Now the reason being that as much as it enjoys messing around when in free time or just during transition phases in a conflict, one thing will get it to laugh while another almost completely identical will earn the instigator an impromptu vasectomy. Needless to say, many have come and left Yakoul's squad not because of the intense battlefield, but by the insane moodswings. Did I mention its intuition? If it has a bad feeling about you, prepare to have a bad time. Needless to say, ti remains a really good judge of character, as would be any leader. This deserves the final paragraph and serves as a warning to everyone. Profanity is its mother tongue and has a very horrible accent when speaking. In most sentences, it will enter a pointless swear, and this increases depending on how passionate it gets. Add to that a shamelessly crude attitude and we have the most foul individual in the Confederation as one would expect. It doesn't always insert swear words, but they seem to illustrate quite well what its intentions are most of the time. 【History】 Yakoul has lived far longer than most people on this earth, all thanks to the inherited powers of its supposed 'cursed' clan. It didn't feel all that bad to it, quite the contrary, it got eternal life all to itself. The feline essentially saw history happen before it, not that it did much to actually archive it or even remember, it was just there, existing and eating whatever it attacked in a village, whether it be livestock, pet or people. Like many of its clan, it terrified the populace because of its jumps of rage and general disregard for their lives. Yeah no, Yakoul isn't this dual-personality type. It always lived as if its surges of violence were just it being in a bad mood rather than lack of control. Decades went on and it would only be when encountering a group a very strange looking individuals, nothing like those annoying shinobi that were sometimes a little too hard to kill. They were strong, but also quite tasty looking, and Yakoul liked that a lot. Wanting a piece of these people, its blood would quickly be rust to the blades of the leader's right hand. The animal didn't beg for mercy, but rather stared at the dominant being of the group, fantasizing on how it would have been great to have that body all to itself in its cavern. It was not because of its potential that it was spared, however, but because of its amusing appearance. The monster that would eventually be one of the pivotal figures in the war was recruited for looking somewhat like a cat. Well, "recruited", it served as decor for the leader's luxurious tastes. It wouldn't be until the first days of war that Yakoul would prove its worth as more than just a soldier. At first, it was simply sent on small missions due to its enhanced senses and general aggressiveness toward foes. It didn't mind, it had free food and could rip anything to shreds when asked. Doing dirty work was just a small repayment. Its talents as a war leader flourished when confronted to its first ambush. Somewhat devoid of extreme intelligence, it mixed what it learned through living so long and instinct to divide strategies to minimize losses. Though this time it was actual comrades and not food something it would protect in some cave or stolen house. Few casualties and a need to make a profanity filled speech to pump its men, Yakoul was given the title of General. Why? Because the leader could, not that it really earned it or anything. It just made its superior happy and proved its worth. Many events during the war were under its leadership, and generally it kept the upper hand and quickly understood the art of war. One could say it was more or less its destiny to hold such a position as it lived in relatively poor countries where small conflicts were rampant and only through strategy was survival possible. What would mark Yakoul as a war hero would be how it led its men to the doors of Konoha and in three days time, murdered with its bare hands the leader of the 11th Corp, the equivalent of Root at the time. Fujitora Choko was killed, and Ayame Choko, the Hokage, would have the same visit by Yakoul. Many speculate that Ayame was never there to begin with, but soldiers attest that Yakoul had killed her as well. Of course, victors are the ones who write history, so even knows if this whole damn history section is legit and not me making a BS Shyamalan on you? Thought so. After the war, Yakoul's been ... Quiet. Simply because the Red Sages have been too sporadic for it to actually care enough. It is mostly seen in public events with its master or simply to keep itself entertained. 【Family ties】 It doesn't have any known relatives. Unless you count every stray cat in the world. The Great President \| Master and Pet \| N/A - Amegakure Capital 【Dreams and fears】 Yakoul dreams to simply do whatever it wants the next day. As of now, it fights for its master in a more zealous manner than anything. But if its superior were to die, it could very well change its passion on a whim. As of now, it simply wanted to endlessly fight the rebels, over and over, and hopefully even die a horrible death at their hands. Not that it actively tries to die, it's simply a fantasy. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Swift and deadly. Yakoul's fight have often been rather quick, or at least when it decides to go on the offensive anyway. Most of the time it falls on taunts and easily evades and/or blocks strikes it can see coming beforehand. Easily finding the flaws in the techniques employed by the opposition, when confident enough it can end it, Yakoul will strike where it hurts the most. This of course depends on the caliber of the opponent, as those who prove to be a lot more keen on their moves will force the beast to actually prod something out of them with actual violence. When in its lethal mindset, it greatly utilizes its strong tail as a third member to gain an easy advantage on the enemy, as well as keep many of its abilities a 'surprise' for the enemy to discover. Because of this, it prioritizes close quarters combat 3/4 times, especially considering its Jutsu pool. The issue with it fighting longer and longer, however, is that it slowly loses patience and lets its more berserk state take hold, pushing Yakoul to lose a decent thought process out of anger and sheer brutality. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Juugo's Clan Kekkei Genkai Description: Many consider this Kekkei Genkai as the cheap counterpart of the Sage mode. Yakoul would of course strongly disagree. To start off with the basics, this KG enables the wielder to passively absorb Senjutsu Chakra (Natural Energy) all the time, leaving it with some pretty gargantuan chakra pools. The effects can often be dumbed down to bursts of anger and berserk states, but Yakoul has since grown accustomed to it. However, bien exposed to it for so long, it has developed animal-like traits similar to beings untrained in Sage Art that have absorbed too much Senjutsu chakra. In this case, it acquired feline traits. It is also the cause of Yakoul's massive longevity and seemingly eternal youth. Because it is mostly under control, Yakoul can freely manipulate its own body and expose select parts to 'curse' with his Sage Transformation. Essentially, it can manipulate the form of its body, sprout wings or grow axe blades on its forearms. The possibilities are massive, as long as they aren't too exaggerated. Chakra cannons are also a dominant trait in the Sage Transformation. Generally users of this KG can tank massive blows that prowl through their flesh and pierce their members without an issue as seen when Juugo not only had a massive hole in his arm but also his chest and recovered without an issue. However the more this ability is used, the less coherent the thought process Yakoul's approaches will be. As much as it is used to it, it will eventually lose grip and wildly attack anything if battles push it too far. Withering down Yakoul's endurance makes it the best tactic to make it a lot more dangerous and violent, but also more predictable and easily deceived. Strengths: The KG offers overwhelmingly high amounts of chakra as well as access to natural energy. Naturally users have immense strength, which only increases when enhancing certain parts of their bodies (easily rivals CES). Resilience and a particularly versatile movepool are probably the biggest strengths in there. The added bulk of the sage transformation can be compensated with the chakra jets. Weaknesses: Surprisingly has few, but the lack of control through continuous use is rather exploitable. When transformed, whether it is berserk or not, the moves appear to be more predictable and easy to anticipate, in exchange for simply more destructive power. 【Ninja techniques】 S rank techniques: 1 Compulsory Subjugation A rank techniques: 3 My Favorite Cancer Perfect Symbiosis Enhanced Scales B rank techniques: 4 Super Mega Ultra Go to Hell Cannons Fire Cannon Dash Genjutsu: Cat and Mouse Suffocating Haze C rank techniques: 5 Up yours: Style One Swiisssshhhhh Shotgun Special Lil' Sluggers Regeneration Absorption D-E rank techniques: 3 Hiding in Surface Technique Overwhelming Killing Intent Yakoul's Juinjutsu 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: I'm just fucking better than you! (Also known as Compulsory Subjugation) Rank: S Range: 0 - 50m Description: As Yakoul's Trump card, Compulsory Subjugation is a tool it prefers to use in very specific scenarios and often saves it as a 'Grand Finale' for people like Souji Tametomo. It manifests itself in three tentacle-like appendages emerging from Yakoul's spine with only the tips being of a completely black color, the rest remaining beige/gray like the typical KG transformation. They all hold tremendous strength with the capability of slapping away boulders with one alone and they can strength up to 50 meters. Though as strong as they may be, they remain easy to cut like flesh and inflict gargantuan pain to Yakoul when cut, and even more when being reattached or regenerating, thus forcing its stamina to plummet. But its greatest strength doesn't lie there. The tips are where the ability shines. They are ridiculously sharp, but can still be blocked by robust defenses. Of course once they manage to actually inflict damage, here the fun begins. If one were to be simply scratched by the tentacle, they could have a small piece of Yakoul's flesh in them, not big enough to be game breaking, but enough to bond with their flesh and bone of the area. A large amount of pain occurs as the incompatible flesh acts like a cancer and forces the muscles to tense and twist on each other. If done on an arm or leg, the bones would easily snap and rend the member worthless but it would end there (except for the pain), while if on the body, the organs run the risk of being completely ripped to shreds. The solution is simple, stab the area that was cut, the bleeding will cause a lot of the Sage Transformation flesh to ooze out. The blood loss won't be enough to kill but will render largely ineffective. That's if they can close the wound. If the tentacle is stabbed, however. Everything changes. Large amounts of Yakoul's own flesh is injected in the body, ripping apart muscles and bones as they go, essentially making it a game over unless a third party severs the appendage before it can completely possess the body. Immediate medical treatment can held control this, though the victim is decommissioned. If Yakoul possesses the individual entirely and destroys them from the inside out, they will evidently die. But only to revive as a mindless beast under Yakoul's command, like a pet. They would be possessed by the Sage Transformation entirely, looking exactly like the second stage transformation. They can use the same abilities they once had, barring tactics. The only escape would be death, unless some miracle doctor finds a cure. cough Jutsu name: My Favorite Cancer Rank: A Range: N/A Description: Similar to the Fission Technique, the function is similar, however it is interconnected with the Sage Kekkei Genkai. Essentially Yakoul splits itself physically to produce two teen-like Yakoul. I can go up two four with small kid versions. They are generally physically weaker as they go along and divide, as well as simply having weaker abilities (And the S rank Technique sealed). However they are capable of gathering natural energy individually and slowly grow. When divided by two, about 5 posts are needed for both Yakoul to be fully grown, 8 (4 to be teen sized) for the smaller one. When destroyed, they turn into puddles of flesh that glues itself back into a fission clone, giving back the chakra. When split they can't have more chakra than the average individual unlike a full Yakoul who can have an overwhelmingly high surplus. After 5 posts where they're fully grown, they're forced back into one Yakoul as the technique expires. Jutsu name: Perfect Symbiosis, Bitch. Rank: A Range: 150 KM Description: One could call this an extremely advanced version of sensory, but it really is a mastery of Senjutsu chakra to the extent where someone incapable of being a Sage could master it. Yakoul becomes 'One' spiritually with nature, which is everywhere, making it almost completely undetectable by sensors. Its chakra can be seen by Sharingan, Rinnegan and Byakugan, but locating Yakoul is extremely difficult in long distances. The only exceptions are either Sages or those with this ability (or equivalent). But this also gives a tremendous advantage in sensory skills for Yakoul. When actively using this ability, its pupils dilate like a cat's as it uses natural energy as a powerful sensory ability for both extremely long ranges and close range. When going long range, it is mostly good for finding very specific chakra signatures and presences in remote areas as well a detecting who is in what area and how many beings there are there. When in close range, it can essentially take over for sight and sound as it gives a very precise input on what approches, what form it has and how fast it is moving. Its enhanced sense of smell and hearing usually compliment the job perfectly. Jutsu name: Awesome as shit Scales Rank: A Range: Personal Description: Developed after killing Fujitora Choko, Yakoul decided to innovate a bit defensively, and thus also evolve offensively, by taking elements from the Heavenly Blood. Here, it must use Sage Transformation before this becomes possible. Yakoul is capable of having 'scales' rapidly grow on affected parts of its body by concentrating both senjutsu chakra and stamina to make them steel-hard. Indeed, it affects both the physical and chakra state of the user, making it something that can't be entirely recovered by passive natural energy absorbing. These can easily block non-enhanced weapons and take multiple hits from those. It takes stronger Ninjutsu to break through. The seconde usage it has requires a lot less stamina, almost none, but it loses all of its value. Using a bit of wind chakra on its pores, Yakoul can simply fire these scales in large waves like large, diamond-shaped kunai in a direction it chooses without actually moving. Being made of chakra they have higher piercing capability, but they are somewhat slower and more predictable than the ninja tools. Their strength mostly lie on the being ejected from anywhere at anytime. Jutsu name: Fire Cannon Dash Rank: B Range: 30m - 100m Description: A simple technique that utilises both Fire release and the Juugo clan's cannons. In this technique they're generally on the back and the elbows and take en entire post to charge with heat. Yakoul can still do whatever during that post except for cannon usage, but the increase in energy is very apparent. In the next post it can choose to either keep the cannons red hot for up to three turns before releasing the technique, and during that wait it can use cannon abilities but with a 50% penalty in power. When it it used however, Yakoul can travel between 30m to 100m in speeds that rival even body flicker, all the while being in control of its body. However it can only travel in a straight line, making somewhat predictable the first go, but extremely lethal if not ready. Jutsu name: Genjutsu: Cat and Mouse Rank: B Range: Sight and Sound Description: Yakoul's only real Genjutsu other than the basic stuff, which uses both visual and sound queues to make it exceptionally difficult to pinpoint. Here it will sway its tail from left to right while applying it, those who simply look at Yakoul will see the tail move regardless if they focus on it. The Yin chakra already has its effect and simply needs an activation. The sound required is a simply crack of its jaw, something it does all too often in a fight, whether it applies it or not. Breaking free is the typical methods, but it doesn't make one immune to it. The effects are simple, once affected, the perception of the victim is severely flawed. They will feel as though they are seeing through the eyes of a mouse, or any small critter really and the whole environment, including Yakoul is giant. As such, all they would see would be a giant Yakoul attacking them, its massive movements easily covering their whole line of sight and making it horribly tedious to predict anything. Jutsu name: Suffocating Haze Rank: B Range: Description: Fusing Wind and Fire chakra, steam-like incense that covers a large amount of ground with Yakoul being the center of it all. When using this ability Yakoul cannot utilise its other cannon abilities. The effects are simple, it imposes a powerful heatwave in the whole field and a bit beyond really quickly with a slight haze to make visibility harder for others. Plants, even trees, die in the first seconds of the technique drying up almost anything, the insects follow shortly after and animals feel extremely dehydrated. Bigger summons also feel the huge toll as their big bodies are confiscated of a large amount of water, making them just as susceptible. Trained shinobi can withstand it easily, other lifeforms not so much. Water techniques suffer the most from it, bring mostly dried up and losing most of their strength. Lightning, because of wind chakra infused, become a little weaker but mostly inaccurate in both targeting and usage (chakra control is simply harder). Wind Techniques suffer a similar effect to Lightning, being eaten up by the fire aspect. Earth suffers more slowly, drying up and losing solidity eventually. Only Fire techniques are enhanced here to Yakoul's advantage. Lasts for five posts, cool down for five as well. Jutsu name: Shotgun Special Rank: C Range: Close, extends to about 10m Description: A wind based ability that is mostly non-lethal (unless you suck) which consists in releasing strong air pressure from the cannons protuding from Yakoul's body. The released pressure acts like a shotgun shell, extremely strong push back when in point black, but loses it strength as it goes along. The effect of distance really depends on the individual strength of each, but it's generally meant to keep people away in a pinch. Also useful to eject oneself really quickly into the air or to a direction. Jutsu name: Lil' Sluggers Rank: C Range: N/A Description: Yakoul uses a much weaker version of the Fission technique, letting a bit of its flesh drop on the ground and ignite thanks to fire chakra. It quickly hoards natural energy to grow into a child-sized humanoid golem, similar to Deidara's puppets, as they start charging in at whatever Yakoul wants gone. They can morph their limbs and bodies to an extent, forming blades and bizarre/flexible shapes. They're slow and somewhat predictable, but damaging them will result in more of them coming back. It is being completely destroying them into sufficiently small pierces that the flames covering them overpowers their regeneration and they just die. They're more of a very annoying distraction than anything. Jutsu name: Delicious Grub Rank: C Range: Close Description: This deserves some explaining. In a large battlefield full of NPC's, this technique essentially allows Yakoul to recover from non-fatal injuries easily as it barely requires any chakra and simply uses to heal its damaged body. So some specifications are needed. In order to fully absorb a body and heal major wounds it needs to be immobile for two posts, as in it can't move from that point, but can still use jutsu and so on to defend itself. Jutsu name: Overwhelming Killing Intent Rank: D Range: Up to 5 KM Description: Yakoul's aura is so foul and its chakra levels massive enough to have nearby individuals actually feel the pressure of its bloodlust on their shoulders. Only the strongest shinobi around will not fear a tint of fear as their natural instincts would force them to have when confronted to such a deadly predator. It is capable of using it from pretty big distances when it is stalking certain individuals to put them on their guard all the while destabilizing them. Jutsu name: Yakoul's Seal of Approval Rank: N/A Range: Personal Description: Almost exactly like Orochimaru's Curse Seal since it did come from the Kekkei Genkai after all. The Confederation saw great potential in this and made it possible for Yakoul to impose Juinjutsu on certain victims and disobedient followers. It doesn't spread it like free candy however, as it is also a source of power that could easily push unworthy individuals into berserk-like states and be an issue to society. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Tease Weapon, tool or object type: Claw Rings Description: A set of Claw Rings worn in every finger except the thumbs. Why? Because they're freaking cool. Also they're specially designed to have wind chakra channel out of the pointed blade form 30 cm air claws. They're hard to see at first glance and cut like any chakra enhanced blade (because its chakra yah). Weapon, tool or object name: Ninjato Weapon, tool or object type: Just a Ninjato Description: Just a Ninjato is carrier around for no reason. Weapon, tool or object name: Awesome clothes Weapon, tool or object type: Clothes Description: It always wears the same clothes, and they can survive being burnt and its super transformations. They don't protect from damage, they just prevent you from seeing Yakoul naked. “By the honor of the Tametomo, I will fight to the death for all our freedoms.” 1m83 - 88 kg A rather tall lad with a well built body, Arima does have the looks on his side. Not the most attractive but that isn't his only asset. With black, almond shaped eyes and straight black hair, some would expect him to be some Uchiha rather than related to the Red Sages leaders. Not so broad shoulders but evidently trained arms and dexterous hands. In terms of attire, he takes whatever he needs to blend in, but often sticks to the Confederation uniform to keep as inconspicuous as possible as a shinobi. He's always seen wearing black combat gloves alone with these odd navy blue boots he wears instead of the common sandals. He's also fond of cloaks when executing covert operations despite having a mask at his disposal, he just likes it. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 A pretty boy with a status that easily earns him social recognition. Arima doesn't mind utilizing the Tametomo name when in rebel grounds to pride himself over his lineage, something that does get him some female attention. Quite the hotshot and showoff with his rather advanced techniques he dedicates to his own clan, one could say he's the type of popular kid that everybody knows whether they like it or not. In the midst of his demonstrations and indulging himself in praises, he simply loves to maintain a cold and distant attitude, to play the 'mysterious' guy while saying encouraging phrases regarding honor and all that jazz. What most don't see however is that he is far under the expectations of the usual Tametomo, he's a pushover. Souji was quite the thing at his age and that's not even mentioning Tarara, both his cousins. He's very aware of this, as are some of his closer colleagues. He's aware that he neither has their skill nor inherited traits to make him as grandiose as they are. But instead of accepting himself, he remains deluded when facing the crowd of peers that stand in awe when he does anything really. At least this works with the newbies. While insecure, he's also somewhat of a coward, having barely ever been in the battlefield and lied more than once about his experiences. The scar on his lip is the one his family laughs about the most. As much as he may seem confident when playing a facade, he is devoid of any authority and presence. This is particularly true when he's into a girl that doesn't send back the feelings. He's hopeless and stammering. And the more he feels emotionally cornered like this, the easier it is for people to call him out on his bullshit. 【History】 Born six years prior to the massive world war, Arima lived a peaceful life before and after the events really. His family was largely protected by the heads of the rebelling force against the mighty crusading army. It was around age 8 that he developed this idea that he was part of a big family, like the Uchiha or the Kazekage lineage. That he was destined to help this world too by leading it to safety with the Red Sages. Becoming a shinobi thus became a thing, but he was quickly disillusioned when he realized it was rather tough. He put hi spirit in it sure, but often got discouraged when more talent prodigies bested him in almost every field. Nonetheless, this sense of pride remained strong, and while he was named Shuu and Tametomo was a pariah name, he knew that among the inner circles of his family he was seen as special because of this. Becoming a chuunin was a rather average experience for him, he always blamed his teammates for his shortcomings and hardly passed the exams needed. Nonetheless, he made it, and quickly backed out of as many Confederation activities as he could. He was entirely dedicated to the Red Sages and would demand to be trained under their own men rather than by the typical government bound shinobi. Eventually he'd be recognized capable of conducting covert operations, and in his first he was paired with an experience Jonin. The goal was simple, find and infiltrate a simple weapons barrack and set it to blow up. When Arima would tell this tale of course, it was one of the main secret warehouses for quality weapons manufacturing among other things. He didn't lie that the operation was successful however, and exaggerated the few patrols confused and searching around the area with multiple special Ops pursuing them through the border. But hey, details. Oh and yes, that's where he got his scar. The special ops offered a great version of this story, but the thing was that they had to stop their trip for a rest, and who said rest also said snack break. Being the idiot that he is, he tried to open the sealed can with his teeth since most of their tools were left behind to hide evidence. A beautifully vertical and bloody cut on his lip. Well at least the lid was silver like the blade of those commando ninjas. Nowadays he tells this tale, and many believe him due to mostly his status and the fact that despite not being on par, he is a pretty good shinobi who ca handle his own. Some of his teammates were still tipped off about the real events and see right through his make believe, but even while knowing that he tries to stick with the fake alternative to make himself feel better about ... Things. 【Family ties】 Being raised within a branch of the Tametomo, he's known to be related to the two great leaders of The Red Sages. Both his parents are alive and well and he has no siblings. They go under the surname Shuu to avoid any attention from the Confederation. Toroi Shuu \| Father \| 49, Amegakure, Former Chuunin and now door to door salesman Kurona Shuu \| Mother \| 37, Amegakure, Chuunin under the Confederation, serving as a mole for The Red Sages Souji Tametomo \| Cousin \| 27, N/A, Leader of The Red Sages, 1st Degree cousin with Kurona Shuu Chieko Honma \| Friend \| 15, Konoha, Member and colleague in The Red Sages, He hopelessly has a crush on her and they've been partnered before (strong synergy as they both use lightning) 【Dreams and fears】 He dreams of actually reaching the level of his cousins and maybe one day be worthy of carrying on at least some of The Red Sage's legacy. He's absolutely scared of his current condition, of not being good enough for any of this. He also fears the intense battlefield, the inevitable possibility that he'll die. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Obviously oriented toward a style of kickboxing, focusing primarily on the electrical nature of his boots to channel ninjutsu. He is rather speedy in his methods, going for quick hit and run strikes when he sees the opportunity, sometimes even being quite impulsive. He has a hard time making a decent strategy when under pressure, but when he has one, it's sure to make some heads burn. He often attempts to lands as quickly as possible a finisher move even if it wouldn't be the wisest thing to do. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Nope, All skill. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Cosmos Finale: Electrovoid B rank techniques: Shadow Clone Technique Tametomo Cosmos Style: Guillotine Wave Tametomo Cosmos Style: Storm C rank techniques: Lightning Release: Lightning Beast Tracking Fang Cosmos Style: Z-line Cosmos Style: Thunderball Cosmos Style: Hard Counter D-E rank techniques: Demonic Illusion: Lightning Flash Pillar 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Cosmos Finale: Electrovoid Rank: A Range: Contact Description: This time a strange, yellow lightning it focused on both Glorious Cosmos as if Arima was charging an attack. As usual, he attempts to strike down the enemy, whether they dodge or block, it doesn't matter. The energy is suddenly released and manifests itself as a bolt of lightning traveling randomly in a small radius. A wind attack or an explosion would quickly dispel it. However, if it were to hit a chakra entity other than its maker, it would disperse and be absorbed by their body. The victim won't feel any pain, actually, they won't feel anything at all. If this bolt manages to hit someone, they will be completely robbed of their sense of touch as their spinal cord and brain were struck in a specific manner. They will not feel themselves standing, making them lose all sense of balance, their members will move oddly whenever they're not directly looking at them. They won't feel themselves throwing the command to move and as such they can't know if their movements are coherent enough to make a simple gait. The effects last for three posts before the sense is regained, though even the most trained are barely efficient after this. Jutsu name: Tametomo Cosmos Style: Guillotine Wave Rank: B Range: Contact + 50m Description: Inspired by the famous Raikage Guillotine Drop, Arima charges a large amount of chakra on one of the Glorious Cosmos, making it flash in blinding bright blue. All he has to do is simply crash in a powerful downward kick, not necessarily like the Guillotine drop, but it needs to be well placed. The impact would be akin to a full powered chakra enhanced strength hit, causing a massive shockwave of electricity that would shock anyone in a 50m radius, though only slight burns and movement slowing would occur, the pushback however would be fierce. Those hit, whether directly or blocked, will inevitably suffer a large amount of lightning chakra striking them in all directions. This makes for really powerful finisher. The chakra taxing is immense, making it only possible to use twice in a fight as of now with a risk of damaging his leg. Jutsu name: Tametomor Cosmos Style: Storm Rank: B Range: 30 meter radius Description: By kicking a wave of about twenty Thunderballs in the air, they all stand at a halt around the field like a dome of some kind, endlessly spinning around as if Arima manipulated them. They can be popped, but exploding one won't cause a chain reaction strangely enough. Under Arima's command, they will suddenly stop and rush in to converge at a targeted spot. It isn't too difficult to notice them striking and to evade them, however if one were to take a hit, the explosion will be particularly deadly in the epicenter, usually leading to death or knock out. Within the radius, major burns can still occur as well as electrical sparks running through the body to immobilize and/or cripple movement for a short period of time. Jutsu name: Cosmos Style: Z-line Rank: C Range: Up to 50 meters in the air and down under Description: A somewhat more complicated techniques. Lightning chakra is focused on the Glorious Cosmos as Arima uses either the Ice Skates or Rollers mode. The start to flash a brighter blue as he traverses a specific trajectory, leaving a black line on the ground he came in contact with (even water). He can make one as long as 50 meters. The thing is, this line is charged with lightning chakra, and any large entity of chakra crossing it will have all the lightning stored in them zapped into them, like an electric wall. The effects are nasty burns and short term immobility. To avoid it, one must get over 50 meters over the line or 50 meters below. Jutsu name: Cosmos Style: Thunderball Rank: C Range: 0 - 150 m Description: A very simple technique that involves Arima making a simple kick, whether forward, upward, to the side, it doesn't matter. What occurs is that by molding a tiny bit of chakra in the Glorious Cosmos, he is capable of releasing a speeding ball of blue lightning the size of a basketball at the direction he kicked, going as fast as a shuriken. When hitting something, it will explode in an explosion comparable to an explosive tag but with the affect effect of electricity that can leave paralyzed for a short time and leave extra burns. They can easily be dispelled with a projectile. Jutsu name: Cosmos Style: Hard Counter Rank: C Range: Contact Description: A simple technique that involves Arima performing a perfectly timed kick on an electric attack, whether it is chakra or other. By perfectly intercepting the electricity, the Glorious Cosmos is capable of sucking out the bolt. However, this can only work if the attack is focused in one point that isn't too big and doesn't still hit Arima. Secondly, it can't be too strong, so B rank and under only can be drained. It fills in the battery, and in return restores a little bit of chakra. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Glorious Cosmos Weapon, tool or object type: A pair of enhanced combat Boots Description: A pair of navy blue boots that look completely ordinary at first glance, reaching up to about his knees. Whens responding to Arima's chakra, they get covered in a sky blue aura with electrical sparks visible from time to time. Once active, the Glorious Cosmos become enhanced by stockpiled chakra, making them as hard as chakra enhanced steel, thus more than capable of countering most weapons. This 'chakra' that is stored inside each piece is actually dependent of an individual battery in each filled with lightning chakra, but it can also be charged with normal forms of electricity. Now don't go think he can sponge lightning, not quite, but it can accumulate energy gathered through movement of any kind. The aura surrounded can thus continuously replenish itself thanks to movement, and as such can also deliver rather nasty blows too. The electric aura will defuse visible shocks of electricity, although not all that dangerous, they can leave burns and even cause violent muscle spasms if hit in areas near the heart and lungs. The Glorious Cosmos are capable of switching into different 'modes', going to rollers blades and ice skates for greatly enhanced mobility. Needless to say he's faster than the average shinobi run with this. As such Arima can easily use the ice skates to utilise them them as lethal blades when going close and personal. “Ladies and Gentlemen, and everything in Between!” 1m51 - 40 Kg With adulthood, Aoi had her look adapt to her new circumstances, giving a lot less of a child-like impression and one more akin to a woman thriving in her life. To start off, she dedicated her look to her usage name she employs in her job by dyeing her hair sky blue, going along perfectly with her naturally blue colored, dazzling eyes. The way she styles her hair varies depending on trends and demands from her current position, as of now she keeps the look on the picture as it is Myaka Shouho's main hairstyle these days. Untied they reach the middle of her back. She appears to be rather well pampered with quality makeup on during any of her outings and attires that are mostly seen on big shot magazines. Quite often with eye capturing colors, she purposely takes a more flashy appearance to please the demand of her viewers and accomplish her daily motives within the Confederation's News Network and Public Relations. In more casual circumstances where she either doesn't want to be recognized or is fighting, she's wearing a pair of high-heeled white boots, black jeans with a combat bet containing multiple small pouches, a black tank top and a white jacket over it. Her stature is rather small, but only 151 cm in height and rather light, she doesn't bode the muscle mass of many of her shinobi peers, but such bulk would only trample on her style. Her petite silhouette does demonstrate minuscule levels of strength, but her body is rightly trained in the art of gymnastics and flexibility. A malleable body that can adapt to many situations and adopt techniques a lot easier than one geared to toning muscle. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Once a bubbly airhead, Aoi had since matured a whole lot since the war, becoming a lot more conscious of what she says and how she behaves around people. That said, she is a very illuminating and energetic presence, absolutely impossible to miss within a crowd or an occupied room. She still oozes positive aura despite what happened in Konoha 11 years back, searching for ways to make the situation better for everyone. While still having a need to be the center of everything, she did learn to let her attention gobbling and egocentric desires a rest. Nonetheless, she doesn't mind discussing various things she's achieved and something cut people off to express her sometimes misinformed opinion. She means well, but Aoi isn't one to be completely self-conscious either. Because of this, she can't be a social butterfly, but her powerful presence makes for unique charm and charisma to both sexes and her eloquence as a performer allowed her to gain access to positions that were only available in her dreams. Even things she doesn't quite understand, at all, she can make them convincing enough with the right look and her way of expressing it. A crowd pleaser for sure, all this attention and success have gone up to her behavior however. Now a seductress of the highest caliber, she doesn't mind dressing sexy to seduce those of the fairer sex she deems attractive. In spite of this, she's truly looking for someone she could end up with but fails to produce the exact result her now complex mind expects. The biggest enigma about Aoi would be her her brains, her intelligence. Although brainy with random trivia, she isn't the brightest one of the bunch that's for sure. Her vocabulary isn't too large and sometimes says things she just doesn't know the definition of. She's also ignorant when it comes to understanding more complex issues linked together and has trouble associating ideas, in a sense she isn't the most logical person either. This however comes into question when she clearly demonstrates creativity that surpasses a lot of conditioned shinobi. In the field, she is particularly efficient, at the level of her Prodigy counterpart Yamato, with usually very crafty and deceptive tactics used to finish off any type of foe. She doesn't outsmart them, but she pulls off the most unexpected of things while holding a large amount of skill. Despite this, Aoi is something that is easily influenced and holds her situation dearly. Meaning she can be manipulated through things like morals and people's views on her, as yes she actually cares about what people think. She is indeed loyal to the Confederation, but it can be broken given the right initiative by the opposing forces. 【History】 Before the Hamajō reign: Like many children living in an era of poverty in smaller countries, Aoi was abandoned by her parents a few hours after her birth. Fortunately the parents didn't randomly leave her at a home but instead confided her to the renown Don Maquia troupe as they passed the country. They knew leaving an abandoned child there would motivate them to keep it, as it was how they usually made staff. And so, she was raised in a gypsy-esque environment where travelling was frequent and work was every day, no real weekend. As she grew up, Jouro Don Maquia would not cut her some slack and initiated her to the realities of labor and hardships, but she never really complained as it felt normal to her. It didn't mean she was devoid of any fun, if anything fun was something they managed to develop during work and practice for performances. Usually by mixing the two, Aoi and her closest friend Mia had fun doing their chores while doing various acrobatic acts. She was happy with what she had, and couldn't care less about her biological parents. At one point, she'd be initiated to one of the troupe's secrets, a special way to manipulate chakra without being unique. She had a strong affinity for water, being from the Rain village, and naturally developed the abilities to hide in water and rain, but she had no knowledge of chakra otherwise. The basics were learned through usual practice, walking on water impressed many civilians, so it was general practice, substitution made great magic effects, fake clones too and so on. Chakra was something that enabled great success for the troupe, however the true secret revealed to Aoi's specific affinity would be her mucus ability. With it, she'd easily impress her audience while being exceptionally flexible in most domains. Initially, it wasn't meant to be a weapon, but through creativity, she managed to defend herself from low bandits trying to rob the troupe. Eventually reaching Konoha, multiple Jounin took notice of her unique capabilities that they had never seen before and offered her the chance to become a ninja. Realizing how it would approach her to her goal, she righteously accepted and moved on as a Genin without any Academy training (she was more than capable in entry levels). The only problem would be that she'd be unable to read and write, causing problems to her superiors. Sure she managed to learn most of it, but she isn't quite efficient at it, being a slow reader and writing so poorly it's barely comprehensible. She easily learns new lingo, however. After the Hamajō reign: Many events in Konoha honed her as a shinobi, built her as a lover and ascended her as a potential star. The war swept all that away, her skills were no match, her lover drowned into despair and all she worked for was tuned into ash by this coming of a new world. Disoriented and lost, she clung onto her falling girlfriend, Akio, who took the events extremely badly. Occasional abuse in multiple ways and the general change of behavior from the older one of the couple ended up infuriating the now disillusioned Aoi and prompted her to simply abandon the wreck once and for all. She hated this new world, it changed everything, and her naive self liked how things were. Now it was all controlled and safe, no risk worthwhile or a crowd to please as everyone was too busy to recover. Or so she thought. In reality her talents were exactly what the populace needed in this time of rapid reconstruction and loss. She had lost her masters, her friends and her lover, but the Phoenix would rise from its ashes and burn brighter than ever. Making a small reputation, she'd make herself known by higher generals of the Confederation, including Ryuu and Yakoul. Though she had potential, the genius that is Ryuu saw how malleable her mind was and simply offered something she couldn't refuse. Along with Yamato, she's one of the higher shinobi in the Confederate entourage, though she also holds a prime position in the Presidents inner circle. She doesn't have a voice in the matters, but she stands as the head of public relations, the face of the Government when the President isn't the one making declarations. To add to that, she's been given the position of primary news anchor for the Government's main news channel, or at least the most popular one, and is often given the ability to host other shows sponsored by the same channel. Because of this, Aoi's become a rather relevant icon to the Confederation. At a point during her career, she chose the name Fuegushi as surname to replace her previous one as a step through grief. Indeed, upon learning the fact that her childhood troupe had been missing now for years without a trace, she finally accepted they were permanently gone. 【Family ties】 Aoi's ties are rather strange to say the least. She wasn't raised by ordinary parents, but rather grew up as a carny along with the entire Don Maquia troupe. Her relationship with them is worthy of a sibling-type relation, as they grew up with her since she was in diapers. They did not object to her ambition of becoming a famous ninja, having formed her for such usage in any case. They continue to support her through letters and regular visits at Konoha. As of now, the troupe has been missing since the end of the war, many consider them dead, including Aoi who grieved them. Jouro Don Maquia \| Adoptive Father \| 67, Missing, The leader of the Don Maquia Troupe, regarded as the father of every member, he is highly respected and no one dares to question his authority. Mia Don Maquia \| Spiritual Sister \| 28, Missing, A professional acrobat in the troupe, she was Aoi's best friend and closest 'sister'. Bo Don Maquia \| Spiritual Uncle \| 55, Missing, The lion tamer of the troupe, he often took care of Aoi when she had fallen ill or when Jouro wasn't around. Guru \| Pet \| 19, In Aoi's big house, Aoi's attributed animal she had to raise. It is an elephant she often uses in her performances in the troupe. Akio Tendou \| Ex-Lover \| 29, Not here, Aoi's first girlfriend after changing her love interest paradigm. The relationship ended little after the end of the war as Aoi was simply fed up with her bullshit. 【Dreams and fears】 Having achieved her first goal of being a renown figure in not only a big village, but now the whole world, she only dreams of creating new and exciting things for the world to see. She tries her best to have people see the bright side of this world, to keep it intact. She fears losing this imperfect world and falling into the oubliette, or worst yet being seen as a devil for supporting a state that people were, for some reason, fed up with. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Sporadic and relying a lot of deceit to defeat her foes with grace. Aoi holds the idea of making her fights a spectacle, a show to be enjoyed, as such her fighting style has new been geared to manipulate the way they perceive things while making it a powerful experience for everything, whether it is good or bad. She uses her creative skills to have Genjutsu applied in the most unsuspecting of ways and circumstances, making her almost unbelievably difficult to reach at times. She enjoys employing her Hiden since it is her only ninjutsu weapon and often times only solely rely on it when going on the offensive. This isn't to be confused with the idea that she is a potent fighter up close. Though she prefers mid rage considering none of her abilities are efficient at long range and her small frame makes her vulnerable to close quarters, she is very well versed in taijutsu as a former circus clown and performer. Agile and swift with reflexes typical of an expert in the senses, she easily uses her martial arts skills to use the enemy's strength against them and lay them flat quickly. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Mucus Surprise Description: Although not a true bloodline limit, very few in the world are able to master this ability. Essentially it requires initiation from birth and at least an affinity to water, thus it can be classed as a form of Hiden. Rare societies such as the Don Maquia troupe have maintained its secrets. Basically, it enables the wielder to turn their chakra into different form of oozing mucus that can take the form of different imagined objects and have the properties of things such as rubber or gum. The possibilities are quite huge but the product coming from it is thick liquid-like substance that almost always sticks. Strengths: Generally it keeps the properties of rubber and gum, making it not only dangerously adhesive but strongly resistant to kinetic force coming from blunt strikes. When used as a medium to trap others, it is surprisingly lethal and effective. Strongly resistant to burns as it is originally made of water, conducts electricity poorly due to composition however. Weaknesses: Generally easy to cut through depending on the mass and density, which only require extra strength put into cuts. Those with superior physical strength can resist the stickiness to a great extent, even break it under conditions. 【Ninja techniques】 S rank techniques: Super Mega Magician's Secret! (May or may not have one. Will have it validated when I decide to give her one. Because I won't be using her as a PVP character yet, it isn't a big deal. I mostly want to introduce her.) A rank techniques: 3 Gooey Bungee! Jellyfish Sting! Mumbo Jumbo! B rank techniques: 4 Mister Spodes! Gooey Replica Mirrored Bizarro! Dance of the gallant C rank techniques: 4 Water Release: Starch Syrup Capturing Field Freeze Snap! Gooey Surprise! Snot Bubble! D-E rank techniques: 3 Water Release: Hiding in Water Technique Water Release: Hiding in Rain Technique Demonic Illusion: Double False Surroundings Technique *Basic Jutsu 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Gooey Bungee Rank: A Range: From 0 to 80 meters to apply it, maintained in over 200 meters Description: A transparent strand of mucus is created from her body and can be released from any point she desires. The strand itself can have one end stuck against a target she had contact with as much as she can have it latch onto something from a distance (by pointing at it or something similar). While being transparent, it has little to no texture and can barely be felt if touching the skin due to its lack of smell, taste or consistency. This mucus, however, is dangerous for many reasons. It can contract and release whenever Aoi desires (its her chakra after all), the contraction being exceptionally powerful like a form of 'super-rubber', allowing her to pull our push relatively heavy thing by simply connecting the strand to her index finger. The strength and weight of the target will determine the amount of chakra is demands for the contraction strength. She can also transfer it from her finger to say another target and have it contact, causing one or both the targets to be pulled and hit each other. She can use up to fifteen at once. They can be easily cut, however they do not vanish, making them susceptible to being reattached at any moment. Ripping it off would be logical, however if it was to contract, it would be relatively futile. On lighter objects, it can tighten itself to a point where it can act like a chakra thread, manipulating said smaller objects at will, though that doesn't mean she can be as precise as a puppet master. Jutsu name: Unexpected Reveal: Jellyfish Sting! Rank: A Range: Contact Description: A technique developed during the time when Aoi was under evaluation for "Jonin confirmation". Given the lack of examination, she was put under Katsu Hyuuga's care for testing. Forming a type of student - teacher bond, they grew accustomed to each other's abilities and were able to create this technique. Utilizing the same principles as the soft fist fighting style, Aoi either uses the tip of her fingers or the pointed knuckles of her major fingers to "spray" raw mucus chakra. Unlike Hyuuga, she cannot pinpoint it on either tenketsu or on organs to have a result, but she can have the raw chakra pierce through armor (still requires contact) and flesh and have it take solid form a second later. The result is mucus chakra clogging primarily the nervous system and somewhat of the chakra system (mostly efficient on members). If hitting an arm for instance, the nervous messages from let's say the elbow if hit there down to the hands will be blocked, essentially paralyzing the forearm. With the body, hitting the abdomen or the chest strongly reduces mobility to the point where coordination is difficult (members remain normal), the more it is hit the more one will feel exhausted. If the spine, neck or head are hit, they are instantly paralyzed. No matter where, the effects of each hit lasts for two posts. They are also very easy to counter with a strong punch considering Aoi's poor strength, making it an ability extremely efficient but ridiculously risky. The fact that it can just be substituted with a simple stab also gears this to a more non-lethal approach. Jutsu name: Mumbo Jumbo! Rank: A Range: Touch Description: Possibly the most terrifying jutsu used by Aoi and the 'magician's secret' she's never revealed to the public. This is a genjutsu that requires that her chakra enters into contact with an opponent, either via contact or through ninjutsu. With this done, the magic can begin. The victims become completely blind to Shinobi magic and are unable to see or feel Aoi's chakra, and by extension, the forms they take. Any form of ninjutsu she uses will appear strangely, but she'll often make it appear as though they're part of something else, like a trick to deceive the opponent and make them weary. Sensors can see their own chakra as well as chakra in Aoi's body, but not what comes out of it, as such they can see they're under a genjutsu, but when are they not with Aoi? Jutsu name: Mister Spodes! Rank: B Range: Can reach up to 20 meters (tentacles) Description: Using the same cloth as Abra Kadabra, Aoi twists and turns the handkerchief with blinding speed (such as a clown making a balloon animal) until it forms a hollow Octopus with a ^0^ face. It would only be when she tosses it while doing the Ram seal that it suddenly gets filled with a mass of mucus in it. It becomes about 2 feet in height and holds eight tentacles likes a regular octopus. They aren't very mobile and are generally very slow, however their tentacles extend rather quickly and can catch someone off guard. The mucus in the tentacles serves as a form of suction cup that keeps what it captures stuck in a tight bind similar to Gooey Surprise (with same limits). The Mister Spodes can easily glues themselves to the ground to prevent enemies from dragging them, essentially making them very useful seals to non-superhuman fighters. They die when their head it damaged (to the point where it leaks). Aoi can make up to four of them per fight and they can also be used as body replacement dummies. They also have a very eerie tendency to wail 'Boyoyoyoyon' quite often, no one knows how this is possible. Jutsu name: Gooey Replica! Rank: B Range: Self, Clone technique Description: Essentially shadow clone technique applied on mucus. The clones are composed of strange, green mucus and are able to move like regular people. They can also use mucus abilities with half the power of the original (in exception to techniques higher in rank than this one). When they die, they explode into a heavy mass of mucus that sticks onto anything around them, hence their use as suicide bombers to hinder the movements of an opponent. Up to seven can be made per fight. Jutsu name: Mirrored Bizarro! Rank: B Range: Smell Description: A genjutsu that depends on smell related activation. Because Aoi constantly wears a high quality Lavender perfume that ca be smelled from multiple meters away, she she exploits that fact to make it extremely hard to detect. In this circumstance, she performs a single hand seal, often doing it after doing another jutsu to make the enemy believe only one jutsu was made, but she actually makes her chakra adopt an aroma the same as her perfume. The smell is strong but hardly noticeable due to it being normal in her presence, but it deeply affects the perception of the people infected. In this case, everything they perceive will be inverted in direction, left is right, up is down. They will see everything this way, but the reality of it will be the contrary. The victim can pick up on it as they can also hear the real version attacking in the opposite side (as well as sense it via chakra sensing), but the illusion remains overwhelmingly real, and without a release, their reflexes will likely make them sloppier as it would seem as though they are genuinely attacked from the illusion. Jutsu name: Dance of the gallant Rank: B Range: Sight Description: A Genjutsu that is activated whenever the patterns on her umbrella are seen as they hold a hypnotic effect combined with her chakra. The effects allow her to create a replica of herself between 0 m to 1 m away from her, no matter the side. It will mimic movements typical of Aoi, however the true Aoi is completely replaced by the false one. This is usually made to confuse close range attackers, making them think she is capable of dodging everything before taking the right opportunity to strike. This can also be used to simply confuse any form of attacker into hitting the false image while th real remains concealed. Exceptionally deadly if the genjutsu isn't noticed fast enough. The image can of course move around as long as Aoi is in the perimeter. Jutsu name: Freeze Snap! Rank: C Range: Sight - Sound Description: Aoi forms a small ball of Yin chakra and simply tosses it in the air or on the nearby ground, only to have it pop like fireworks or a firecracker. The flash is so bright, it works as a flashbang. The effects are simple, those exposed regain their sight extremely fast, the flash was barely a millisecond, but they'll feel an endless buzzing sound in their ears with nothing else and the world around them frozen in time. Everything looks like the instant before the bang went out. Evidently a Genjutsu, it is easy to notice and Kai out. Jutsu name: Gooey Surprise! Rank: C Range: Close, in person. Description: A much more developed variation of the transformation technique. Indeed, the user covers themselves with a gooey layer of mucus capable of taking different shapes and sizes, colors and textures. The mucus is highly adhesive though, enough to make it act like quicksand: The more there's resistance, the deeper it gets, though it cannot be that deep because of Aoi's thin figure. It is very useful for trapping though not too specialized in hand to hand combat. Those specialized can use their techniques to break free with relative ease, though it doesn't mean that they're immune to the immediate effects. It doesn't give immunity to heat either, though it does slightly reduce overall damage, along with any other type of damage really. Jutsu name: Snot danger parade! Rank: C Range: Varies, close to medium usually. Description: By either using a specific hand sign or inhaling things like pepper, Aoi sneezes large mucus bubbles capable of swallowing more than one individual. The larger that it can get would be as large as a horse. Those trapped inside can easily pop it, however it would result in the bubble imploding, not only causing strong pressure to hit their bodies, rendering most to a rather confused and head aching state, while being covering in dense mucus stuck on the ground. This also causes smaller, human size bubbles to take shape. If the popping is made from outside, the explosion is general and hits everyone except those inside. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Fuegushi Weapon, tool or object type: Umbrella Description: A strange, light blue umbrella Aoi carries around with her. It appears to be the type en vogue these days, but her's holds a strange butterfly-like black pattern on it which enables one of her genjutsu. The handle can be removed to revealed a concealed blade, slightly shorter than a rapier. This Umbrella is capable of releasing a powerful kinetic force at close range when opened, making it capable of repelling powerful projectiles without even a recoil when the timing is right, making some unsuspecting close rangers stumble back in surprise as well. It is chakra enhanced and its fabric is strangely durable yet thin. Weapon, tool or object name: Magic Cards Weapon, tool or object type: Cutting weapon Description: A set of playing cards forged to be as sharp as a kunai, however lighter and more malleable. They are easier to use but weak in one on one blade fights as their small weight makes them easy to break through. They are perfect for assassination and tactically placed hits, however.
51,143	1,381	50	2,400	2,978	Tetsuba Zaisette Harvest Festival - Approaching the damaged compound. To no surprise of anyone on the scene, the loud mouthed Sage fled as soon as he was overcome by the overwhelming odds stacked against him, using a substitution jutsu to slip away from the engagement, but not before spouting more reprehensible garbage at the group of shinobi. That arrogant little gnat had the audacity to taunt them on his retreat though, outright stating that his entire purpose was that of a distraction. There was some method to his madness after all. At least, that's what Zay forced himself to believe. No matter how hard he tried, the silver shinobi couldn't help but think poorly of Mikoto's behavior. Alas, the encounter was over, and in less than a minute, Zay's pool was free of trespassers. He briefly glanced at Tatsuya while sunk into the ground, before turning his attention to Higoho, who was headed towards the confederate compound in the distance, after essentially telling a newly arrived clans-mate to fuck off in a rather petulant tone. What a wretched shinobi. Really though, Zay hadn't been much help in the battle they'd just finished at all, but there wasn't much for him to do. He was much better at supporting against several shinobi at once, and with allies he was familiar with. It didn't really matter though. The battle was won, but what of the war? Zay slowly followed after Higoho, taking in the majority of his pool as he proceeded and retaining as much chakra as he could. As the pool shrunk, his pace picked up slightly, to match Higoho's, albeit from several yards behind. Zay approached the compound without urgency, stopping at the base of the staircase leading upwards, and noticing the two Hyuga retreating back down the steps. He stood aside and sighed to himself, reabsorbing what little remained of his silver pool. Was the battle over? That couldn't be! What exactly happened up there? Before he could discern the outcome of this horrid battle, the irritable Hyuga boy stepped past him and shouted at the top of his lungs- “EIGHT TRIGRAMS MOUNTAIN CRUSHER!” Zay spun his head towards Higoho, who'd immediately engaged... Himself? Shocking, to say the least. Zay glanced at Setsuko briefly, conflicted on how to react to Higoho's tantrum. There wasn't much reason for him to interfere, and doing so would've been in poor judgement. Besides, anyone foolish enough to approach somebody they were currently disguised as probably deserved to be struck down for their own idiocy. It was probably just a low ranking Red sage shinobi, anyways.	Tex's "Astoundingly Deep Character" Emporium "A heartbeat is the body's most monotonous chore, essential though it may be."

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 In a word? Lazy. His lack of dedication, and methodical lifestyle is simply a byproduct of his mental lethargy. Zay is capable- Far more capable than most would like to admit, but his motivation does not match his potential. When speaking on his terms, rested and free of responsibility, Zay's speech is refined, polite, and he is very attentive to detail. In most cases however, Zay does not consider himself very 'rested' and acts completely aloof, purposely insulting the intelligence of others, and showing minimal interest in serious discussion. His attitude often causes conflict between him and his peers, making his life even harder than he already thinks it is, and perpetually forcing himself into a downward spiral. That being said, Zay perceives life itself as less than noteworthy, quoted as claiming the human heartbeat to be 'The body's most monotonous chore' on more than one occasion. Questions regarding his history or opinions on the general status of the Shinobi world are often met with a ballad of anecdotal references, and depressing metaphors that tend to highlight the negative aspects of being alive. Due to his seemingly infinite disdain towards basically everything, most perceive Zay as an angst ridden peon who cares nothing of his friends, family, or own well being. However, nothing could be farther from the truth. Despite what his nihilistic charade would suggest, he's a particularly caring individual that places tremendous importance on not only his own well-being, but that of all living things, and more importantly, the freedom they are entitled to. There's nothing more important to him than the heart that keeps him standing, and by extension, the people that give it the courage to beat freely. However, Zay prioritizes himself over all others. He claims that he would never risk his life, even if it were for the safety of a loved one. Truth be told, his attitude keeps him from actually developing any strong relationships, and his known family has been dead for years. Still, he considers his allies precious, and will do everything he can to keep their hearts beating if it doesn't end up putting his own life at serious risk. One could infer that Zay purposely distances himself from others to avoid the responsibility that coincides with friendship and romance, but since he is awfully secretive about his personal affairs, nobody's really been able to pry a solid explanation from his stubborn brain-case. 【History】 Zay's life started off rich with love and wealth. Born in Iwagakure, he lived out his infant years in the care of his mother and father, both of whom had little to worry about, easily living off of the funds that Ikaette Tetsuba, Zay's mother, earned from her career as a Shinobi for Iwagakure. Sadly, as expected, his mother eventually found herself caught up in the conflict brewing between the nations, which ultimately put her family at risk. As one of the few breathing Shinobi capable of advanced, and more often than not, forbidden Jutsu familiar within the dwindling Tetsuba Clan, interest in her Copper Release's industrial capabilities grew, and her family would soon find their beloved wife and mother, missing indefinitely. Zay's father took it upon himself to contact Ikaette's sister, Tskia, asking her to take Zay far from Iwagakure, hoping that she would be able to keep him safe. News of his death quickly rose to attention not more than a month after Tskia's departure, and left the Tetsuba Clan with only two living members. Tskia rose Zay as her own, treating him as the son she'd never had, and teaching him the basis of his family's ninjutsu. Even so, Zay was one to question every minute detail behind the lessons he'd received. this often lead to questions regarding the Tetsuba Clan, and by extension, his parents. Of course, Tskia was never at liberty to reveal much to Zay, in fear he'd get himself involved in the wars that might've followed the last. Due to the secrecy that enveloped his training however, Zay didn't take to his aunt's lessons very kindly, and instead spent all of his time training himself in the art of silver Release with his aunt's wisdom as a very loose basis. When the conflict between nations ceased, Tskia was beyond relieved, quickly adopting the ideals of the Hamajō Confederation as they took to power, and bastardizing the red Sages for their naive outlook on the way society had 'evolved' so to speak. She tried her best to instill these beliefs on a young teenage Zaette, but unfortunately for her, he was not concerned with her thought process on the matter. Fortunately, that didn't mean he sympathized with the red sages, either. His neutrality would prove a trying obstacle for Tskia to deal with in the coming years, and it strained their relationship quite significantly. Tskia would become more and more loyal to the teachings of Hamajō, while Zay would become less and less concerned with the goings-on around him, or his aunt. On his 14th birthday, it became painfully evident that Zay would not play any major role in the fight between Hamajō and the Red sages. That's what his aunt would believe, and to this day, that hasn't changed. At the age of 17, around the time that Zay had achieved the rank of Chuunin, Tskia had fallen fatally ill, and was home-bound. Although it was difficult, Zay was forced to support both himself and his aunt on what little money he could earn through the few missions he was approved for. Ultimately, Tskia passed away, leaving Zay to fend for himself. On her death bed, Tskia told Zay of his parents and their fate, along with the history of their family. Although he didn't change the way he behaved, his aunt's death, and his family's history took a serious toll on his inner thoughts, and changed the way he looked at life, and death. Zay, without a mentor, continued to develop his silver release on his own. Zay now spends his time conducting missions as a registered shinobi. When he isn't on assignments, sleeping, or training his jutsu, Zay spends all of his time outside, walking outside city limits as much as he can. 【Family ties】 Zay has no living relatives to his own knowledge, but it's likely that some have survived to this day. Regardless, he doesn't care enough to look into the possibility. 【Dreams and fears】 "I dream of a world where everyone can lay their backs against softened grass, and gaze at clouds without fear of fire or fist" "Spiders are horrible, but they kill moths, and moths are a plague on my very sanity" Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Zay harnesses the power of his silver release almost exclusively. That is to say, he refuses to even acknowledge Taijutsu, Genjutsu, and most other ninjutsu as a viable option of combat. Zay is proficient at close-mid range combat, with limited long-range options. He focuses on a iron-hard defense to compensate for his lack of ranged options. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Silver Release Description: Silver release allows members of the Tetsuba Clan to mold fire and Earth chakra natures into a shimmering metallic liquid, hence the name 'silver release'. This substance can be used in a plethora of different ways using subsequent jutsu as long as the user's chakra remains infused inside of the liquid, but without proper concentration, it is impossible to do much more than move it along the ground at a snails pace. It is also impossible to control this liquid if it travels more than 15 yards away from the user. If any of this substance leaves the user's 15 yard radius, whether it is in solid or liquid form, will quickly dissolve into raw chakra. Users can also reabsorb this liquid to replenish their chakra pool with diminished returns. Due to these limitations, silver release users are not very mobile, and instead rely on the agility and durability of their jutsu. In use, the silver liquid acts as a base for several techniques. The most common application is consuming opponents in range and smothering them to death. It can however be hardened to create temporary weapons, large scale attacks, barriers, armor, and various mechanisms relative to the user's knowledge of the technology they are trying to mimic. More advanced users of Silver release can sense the presence of other living things within their pool as long as they are connected by a constant stream of chakra, coat their entire body in an armor that removes their sense of sight and hearing but makes them nearly impervious to physical assaults, temporarily patch wounds by fusing the liquid with their skin, heat the liquid to boiling temperatures, and in very rare cases, transfer their body instantaneously from one section of their puddle to another with a delayed reemergence. It's rumored that certain Tetsuba could create golden, Copper, and even mercury based liquid metals, but nothing has been confirmed, and their lineage runs so thin that it's difficult to confirm or deny such rumors. Members of the Tetsuba Family are known to have very pale skin, reflective white hair, and silver blood. These effects appear to be purely cosmetic and otherwise have no effect on their biology whatsoever. Tetsuba Shinobi Strengths: Ray's mastery of Silver release is exceptional, and it wouldn't come as a surprise considering he does not practice any ninjutsu that would not coincide with his Kekkei Genkai. At his current mastery, Zay can keep a constant pool of Silver going at the full 15 yards from his body for a considerable amount of time before it begins to strain his Chakra reserves. His mid-close range combat is unmatched in many scenarios, disallowing easy movement within his radius without immediate danger. His liquid can nullify most wind natured ninjutsu, protect against some earth/water/fire natured ninjutsu, and offer substantial protection from most forms of attacks when hardened en-masse. Zay's agility with his silver allows him to cast jutsu in quick succession, giving the liquid considerable agility when he is focused. Weaknesses: Without a ready supply of silver, Ray is practically defenseless, only able to conjure weapons and small short-range projectile type jutsu quickly enough to defend himself. Even with a pool at the ready, Zay is incapable of firing ranged attacks outside of his range effectively. His mobility with the pool is also very slow, and he cannot travel long distances without being encumbered by his jutsu. While channeling a substantial pool of silver, Ray requires immense concentration, disallowing him to move his body too quickly at risk of his entire jutsu falling apart momentarily. If he is forced to dodge, or struck by anything that would interrupt his concentration, any hardened liquid could instantaneously melt back down into liquid form, and any silver under his control will fall back into his pool, including any weapons or armor he's equipped himself with. Additionally, his silver is highly-conductive, allowing lightning-natured jutsu to travel effortlessly along the entire expanse of the pool as long as it is connected, or close enough to allow a current to travel throughout. Certain Lightning-natured Jutsu can also pierce through any solidified silver effortlessly, and even destroy portions of his liquid. Conjuring the liquid, albeit quick, also requires an initial Chakra dump that nearly drains Zay of half his energy. Additionally, Zay can only sustain a pool for about 10 minutes before he runs out of energy, assuming he rations his chakra sparingly. 【Ninja techniques】【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Silver Release: Forge Rank: D Range: Short-Medium Description: Creates a weapon or device based on the user's knowledge and skill either somewhere in a mirror pool nearby, or in the user's hand using newly created liquid silver. The weapon's strength is on par with average steel, and resonate with Chakra very well. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Constellation Rank: D Range: Medium Description: Fires an array of tiny silver balls from either the user's mouth, or from any point in his mirror pool, with a width of about 15 feet. These have the potential to break skin and heavily bruise upon impact, but are not usually deadly. Can travel up to 25 Yards away from the user despite his limitation, but once leaving the 15 yard radius, they decrease in power to a point of absolute worthlessness. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Mirror Pool Rank: C Range: Short-Medium Description: The basis of Zay's Jutsu. Creates a reflective pool as the user's feet that spread out quickly. Can be channeled to extend the range of the pool, or to absorb the chakra infused in the liquid with diminished returns. This liquid can be controlled with the user's Chakra while it exists. The user can sense anyone touching the Silver if they are within his radius, and 'feel' their chakra network. All attacks within range, liquid or solid, are considered part of the Mirror pool. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Boiling Flow Rank: C Range: Short Description: The user instantly heats up a section of liquid silver for a few seconds. Effect persists if the liquid is solidified, allowing for heated jutsu followups. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Tempid Mail Rank: C Range: N/A Description: Covers the user's skin in a thin layer of liquid silver that can be hardened at will with other Jutsu types. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Solid Wall Rank: C Range: Short-Medium Description: Raises a wall at any point in the mirror pool to intercept an attack. Fast, but not effective as an offensive option. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Solid Mail Rank: B Range: N/A Description: Covers the user in a thick layer of hardened steel. Blocks nearly all forms of attack, but blocks out the user's sense of Smell, Sight, And Hearing. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Tepid Flow Rank: B Range: Short-Medium Description: Slices forth with a blade of liquid silver from any point within the user's radius, with enough force to sever limbs. Cannot break through guards, but will not be stopped unless blocked in its entirety; Due to its liquid nature, it will simply phase around swords and small shields. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Solid Flow Rank: B Range: Short-Medium Description: Launches a solid spike from any point in the user's mirror pool. The thicker the spike, the stronger, and slower, the strike. Often used in quick succession to create multiple spikes at once. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Tether Rank: A Range: Long Description: The user coats his hand in a rubbery silver, with a higher concentration of chakra, and extends it into a amorphous whip, which they can then fling around for about a minute before it loses form. While active, this tether acts as an extension of the user's chakra network, allowing it to exist outside the normal range of the user's pool, and increasing their pool's range to be 15 yards from wherever the tether reaches. This tether can also latch onto targets, including shinobi, but cannot be detached from the user unless they cancel the jutsu. Requires a large amount of chakra to form. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Zay carries no Ninja weaponry, and prefers to create his own.
51,144	1,381	51	2,654	2,774	Ninko Hazuchi Konoha border Ninko had watched the battle go in amazement at how well the Red Sages had held up against the Confederation forces, this group was definitely a threat. Of course Ninko expected them to eventually call for a retreat since the confederate shinobi greatly outnumbered them in numbers and it seemed clear that winning the battle was probably not their intentions. With the call for the Red Sages to pull back from the battle, Ninko decided that it was time for him to follow them. He quickly headed the way they were headed and made sure to try and not draw attention to himself since he wanted to not have his cover blown by one of his allies. His eyes were on the lookout for any of the Red Sages who were slow to make their escape and he spotted two of them close by an alleyway. He quickly and covertly made his way over towards them. Ninko wasn't sure how they would react to him, but he had made extra sure to not have any symbols or signs of the Confederation on him, and he was wearing a more civilian style cloak. This is crazy, I'm screwed if they don't believe me when I tell them that I wish to join the Red Sages, he thought to himself. Once he was only a few feet away from Arima who appeared to be trying to get the attention of another shinobi, Ninko spoke up, but he did so quietly. "Hay, you'd better get out here fast, the Confederate forces will be swarming this whole area soon and they'll have us captured" he said to the Red Sage with a concerned voice. His words definitely had truth to them, after such a conflict the Confederate forces were sure to eventually all over this place to help repair the damage and interrogate any prisoners to get information about their enemies.	“My blade is only as strong as my will.” Ninko is not a tall person for his age and he stands at about 5'5 in height. Despite his small height, he has a very athletic body and his muscles are very developed. Many would feel embarrassed by having such a small height for a man, but Ninko prefers it and uses it to his advantage. He thanks his height for allowing him to be more evasive and harder to catch.

They originate from an unknown area of Kirigakure. 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Ninko is a very hardworking boy and sometimes has trouble slowing down and enjoying the little things in life. For him life is all about achieving one's goals through great dedication and self improvement. He is extremely loyal to his family and the confederation, both he would willing lay down his life for. Ninko is a traditionalist and views respecting one's tradition is more important than the desire for pure freedom. He believes that nothing is truly free and that society can only work through the rule of law and morality. Some would call him an authoritarian, which has truth to it, but Ninko just believes in the hierarchy system of the shinobi and that lower ranks should always respect their superiors and follow their authority. He also can have a bad temper if someone angers him and pissing him off is not a wise idea. Ninko is firmly against being a showoff when it comes to his sword skills and thinks it is always necessary for a shinobi to be unpredictable with his arts. 【History】 Ninko was born in Kirigakure to the Hazuchi family and his parents were Kirin and Ishira Hazuchi. He also had two siblings, a brother and sister. From the moment he could remember, his father taught him the ways of the sword, telling him the stories of his legendary ancestors and the secrets of the blade. When he was four years, his father began training him in the arts of swordsmanship and Ninko began his long journey to become the next legendary swordsmen of his family. Life wasn't all that easy for Ninko, despite coming from a famous family, he was bullied for his small size. He especially received a good deal of venom from the popular girl of the shinobi academy. Because of this Ninko had to prove to everyone that his size had nothing to do with his capability. After graduating the academy, his father gave him his own sword as a gift for moving on to the next stage of his ninja training. Ninko named the blade Longtooth and began to train himself in mastering his sword. As a genin his shinobi journey was difficult especially with the dangerous missions that Hamajō Confederation gave them and it was a battle for survival. His master was not a fan of being overly kind and wanted good results from his students. Thankfully Ninko made it through the genin stage of his ninja journey and eventually made it to the rank of Chūnin. Now older and more experienced in the arts of sword combat, Ninko is still on his way to becoming a legendary swordsman and making his family proud. 【Family ties】 His family is a very tight knit group and they go by the motto of 'Family is everything and loyalty is greater than strength' as their driving motivation as shinobi. Kirin \| Father\| 44, Kirigakure, jonin, leader of the Hazuchi family Ishira \| mother \| 44, Kirigakure, jonin Kino \| brother \| 16, Kirigakure, Chunin, very detirmined to become a great shinobi and Ninko's arhc rival Miki \| sister \| 18, Kirigakure , chunin, older sister to Ninko and Kino, easily annoyed by her younger brothers. 【Dreams and fears】 Ninko desires to become a legendary swordsmen and help maintain the legend of the Hazuchi family. He wants to be remembered for the rest of time for his great deeds and it is because of this that his greatest fear is to be insignificant in the history books. He also fears failure and of bringing shame to himself and his family. Combat reports. He is incredibly efficient and will not waste time before taking an enemy down. He has little to no problems following orders and has an intimidating presence on the battlefield. His speed is what's most frightening especially the swiftness of his sword, once that blade gets moving it just becomes a blur and he slices through enemies so easily. 【Fighting style】 Ninko's method of combat is swordsmanship and will only utilize other tools as back up plans when his sword skills alone won't cut it. Speed and agility are his main bases for his attack and his sword fighting style is a martial art created by his family, which pushes the swordsman to their full potential through sword practice and body training. Ninko has been taught to view his sword like a part of his body and to use it to its full potential. Ninko is also proficient in channeling his wind and lightning chakra nature through his weapon 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: none 【Ninja techniques】 D-E rank techniques: Clone Technique. 【Custom made techniques】 Wind God's Blade Rank: B Range: short - medium Description: Ninko channels wind chakra through his blade and slashes out with the blade. The swing unleashes a seven foot wide crescent moon shaped blue wave of air that can cut through solid rock. The technique can only go in the direction that it sent to and can be dodged. This technique can also be taxing on the user's chakra if used to many times. Blade Storm] Rank: C Range: short Description: Ninko unleashes a torrent of incredibly fast slashes at his opponent and it is meant as a way of unbalancing the target until they make a mistake in their defense and Ninko then cuts them down. While this technique can be used against multiple opponents it works best against a single target. Lightning Thrust Rank: B Range: short - medium Ninko channels lightning through his blade and then thrusts out with the weapon. The lightning then extends out at an incredibly fast pace like the blade is elongating and it pierces through its target. This technique is for a single target and is not very useful against multiple opponents. Flying Dragon Rank: C Range: short Description: Ninko leaps into the air flipping and comes down upon his opponent with great speed and power with a spinning slash. Dragon's Rage Rank: A Range: medium Description: Ninko is surrounded in an aura of electricity that takes on the shape of a dragon and this aura grants him the ability to move and jump at insane speeds. When he makes contact with an opponent his aura creates a powerful blast of lightning and he combines this with a stab from his blade to add to the massive about of damage. This technique ends the moment upon impact and the aura only lasts for about a minute before it disappears and the attack is gone so he has to hit his opponent within that time frame. It uses up a large chunk of the users chakra. Wind Release: Hurricane Mouth Rank: B Range: medium - long Description: Ninko unleashes a mighty blast of air from his mouth that is powerful enough to blow away several objects and hits opponents with a massive amount of force. This technique is his way of getting out of combat situations where he is getting mobbed by several opponents. Reaper Slice Rank: C Range: short Description: Ninko channels chakra through his blade to increase its power and he slices his opponents in their midsection. This technique is a large sweeping motion and can be used against multiple enemies. Defensive Zone Rank: C Range: short Description: Ninko focuses his efforts on defense and heightens his senses to deflect oncoming attacks with his blade. By moving at incredible speeds Ninko is able to deflect shuriken and other projectile weapon attacks as well close ranged melee weapons. This technique focuses entirely on defense and offers no counterattack options for Ninko, meaning that while using this technique he cannot do any offensive attacks. Finally this technique is useless against elemental ninjutsu attacks. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Longtooth Weapon, tool or object type: sword] Description: Longtooth is a style of sword unique to his family and is forged very differently from the usual blades used by shinobi. His sword is just as deadly in cutting as a katana, but also is better for thrusting attacks. The weapon weight exactly two pounds and the metal is incredibly tough.
51,145	1,381	52	925	1,132	Dancing Idiot, Red Sages, Approaching the Compound Of The Festival "Kanata, where are you~?" Mikoto sang as he searched for his sister. "Come on out now. If you pissed someone off and are hiding, onii-chan can take care of it for you!" Welp, no. No signs of Kanata anywhere. He had spotted her before during the festival, along with his mother, so he was sure that at least Kanata was here. She would've helped their mother after saying 'You are a hag already, so just go hide!' and then come back to the battlefield to see what she could do. Sarcastic and an idiot, but she had a beautiful heart nonetheless, and she was smart enough to run when she knew something meant problems. Mikoto knew she was all right. He was only searching for her to try and convince her again of joining the Red Sages and get himself a competent partner, and one he was experienced with. It was clear for him that the guy from before tried to help him, but it wasn't like with Kanata, who seemed to be able to read his mind. He needed someone watching his back and Kanata had always been perfect for the role. Still, when he saw Lady Tametomo preparing to take her leave, Mikoto knew he had no more time to be standing around. The mission was complete, it seemed. "Shame. It will have to wait for another day." He said to himself with a sigh. Mikoto landed on top of the building, before he looked down and spotted a familiar redhead. "Kanata... Well, I've no time already to-" And there was a cat-thing beside her. Why, it was Yakoul. Unlike his sister, Mikoto did recognize the man-cat... cat-man? Kanata always managed to make powerful friends like those, and on the other side there was... Katsuko. Ha! If Kanata were by herself, she'd already be dead, what with Katsuko having a stick up his ass and whatnot. At least, that was the impression he got from the few times he had seen him. Mikoto still got the opportunity to see Yakoul point at someone. He turned his gaze to the man in question and saw it was Nori, the guy that had helped him before (of course, Mikoto hadn't heard his name). Since Yakoul had his sights on him, Mikoto had already given him for dead. He decided to delay his retreat a bit and wait to see what happened to the guy. He had helped him before, and Mikoto considered him a friend for that. If worst came to worst, he'd go help him. Escape, of course. He had no plans of dying today. No Boobs Kanata, Undecided, Festival Compound The Red Sage from before had decided to turn his attention back to Kanata and the others. His golden eyes were incredibly intimidating, and Kanata could certainly feel her chakra being, kind of, sucked out. It was rather uncomfortable, but she was unsure of what to do to make it stop. Close her eyes or avert them? Jump away from here? Splash something at his eyes? She would try each of them in order. She closed her eyes tightly to avoid looking at him and, unconsciously, also looked away. Funny, the feeling went away right after that. Was it some kind of dojutsu? If so, then they would be in a pinch were it not for the fact that Yakoul was with them. It is hard to fight without looking at your opponent's eyes. They reveal a lot. Just as she was to open them, though, she felt something moving against her chest. Her eyes jolted open only to see Yakoul fooling around. "WHAT. THE. FUCKING. HELL." Kanata's eyes were filled with disbelief and anger. It was messing with her. She knew it. "WHEN WE ARE DONE WITH THIS YOU ARE GONNA BE SOOOOO FUCKED! I CAN THINK OF MORE THAN ONE WAY TO MAKE YOU FEEL SORRY YOU EVER MOCKED MY CHEST! FUCKING CAT, WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?! JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE A LITTLE POWER YOU THINK YOU CAN GO AROUND FONDLING PEOPLE'S CHESTS WITH YOUR TAIL?! SERIOUSLY! GO. FUCK. YOURSELF." Letting her anger vent after that, Kanata started taking deep breaths. She had to calm herself, otherwise it wouldn't be a fight. Kanata put her right hand forward, with two fingers lifted and then put her left hand close to her heart as guard. She also bent her knees some to run away should things get spiky and Yakoul was defeated. Perhaps the guy in front of them wasn't as much of a blockhead as he looked and could actually think of a way to get past Yakoul. "I'll cover you from him. Something tells me the girl behind me and I are a good match anyway." Kanata said with a slight smile. They had to defend themselves, regardless. "By the by, the name's Kanata. If we are going to work together, then we need to at least know each other's names, and don't worry, we'll get your friend back." Kanata tried to reassure Mirai and herself. She just hoped something else happened and they didn't have to fight such a strong looking guy.	I want a cool name for where I keep my characters too “Who might that handsome guy in the mirror be? Ah, it's just me.” Meet Amatsurahashi Mikoto. A young man standing at 1.79 meters who probably spends more time looking at himself in the mirror than actually fighting. His long red hair made into a ponytail is probably the one with the best care in the whole army, even among the women. His fair skin has so many layers of creams and other chemicals that some men think he'll explode if there's some fire near him. His blue eyes have never been seen in another state than their almost always perfect one in which Mikoto keeps them. There are some rumors going around that say his eyes can't actually be that pretty alone, saying that they MUST be using contact lenses. He is so picky with his food and training menu to keep his slim, yet strong build, that many come to take his advice on how to take better care of their own physique. Amatsurahashi Mikoto, the man who spends a lot of time trimming himself and is actually not gay. That is the man standing before you. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Amatsurahashi Mikoto 【Alias】 That one not-gay guy that seems gay AKA Metrosexual. 【Affiliation】 Red Sages. 【Age】 20 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Heterosexual. Might be willing to change in the future. 【Birthplace】 Kirigakure. The Village Hidden In The Mist. 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Have you ever met that one person that just seems to sing everything when he talks? That's the kind of person Mikoto is. A lot of people think he is annoying, but he just shows no signs of changing. Ever since he was a child he's had one rule with which he lives by. To never change himself even if others want to change him. Always remain true to the desires of his heart. He is that kind of whimsical guy. He loves art, music and just about anything that expresses the true desires of the heart. He spends a great deal of time in unnecessary and excessive grooming. He also seems to vastly prefer the company of men rather than the company of woman. These are just some of the reason as to why a lot of people think Mikoto is actually homosexual. Mikoto is only really picky when it comes to women, not to mention that he isn't popular with woman either because of how effeminate he seems at times. Several of his close friends actually know this, and still like to tease him about that. Having sparked several misunderstandings, Mikoto has made an habit of introducing himself with his sexuality in his introduction line. Despite his love for his beauty, Mikoto is neither an stranger to fight nor is he scared of them. He is not a ninja just for show. Mikoto's will to fight is just as much, if not even more, than other ninjas. He will never run away, nor will he ever admit he is outpowered. That's why he believes it is wrong for shinobi's to only be after money and not to follow their heart's desires. He does, however, protect his face a lot more than any other shinobi does. His reason to be one of the Red Sages is simple; "Doesn't freedom sound like a beautiful concept to you? I'd very much like to see what true freedom is like." 【History】 What can you expect from Mikoto's story? Yes, he was bullied as a kid. Yes, he was beaten up a lot as a kid. No, he was not mentally scarred or traumatised by this. Mikoto actually fought back. He's never been afraid of getting his hands dirty. Though he's always been a dilligent student, more than once has he been scolded by his teachers because of how many fights he got himself into. During elementary school, he had to fight his way through bullies and smart-asses who thought he was nothing more than a sissy. It wasn't until he started going to junior high school that he discovered a better way to deal with bullies instead of fighting them. Completely ignoring them. Why, there's nothing more infuriating than the sissy you are trying to piss off completely ignores your very existance. It ended up either with the guys giving up and moving on to their next victim or them trying to beat up Mikoto, which ended up badly for them. Again. By the time he entered high school, Mikoto had created a reputation for himself. Never again did he have to deal with idiots trying to piss him off. Sadly, it was... boring. Extremely so. How could he ever relieve this boredom? Already studying to be a ninja and a Chuunin, and the Hamajo Confederation didn't seem eager to start a war any time soon. Then, what could little old Mikoto do to relieve his thirst for fighting? The Red Sages was the only thing that came to his mind. 【Family ties】 The Amatsurahashi family. Harsh in their ninja training, lax in their concept of what a man should be. Why you ask? Mikoto's father died when he was 4 on the way to the hospital when Mikoto's sister was about to be born. So, Mikoto had to quickly grow up and become the man of the house and so, he had no time to have his lunch handed over to him by some guys who taught were better than him. Not to mention he had an example to set for his sister. Amatsurahashi Haruka \| Mother \| 42, Kirigakure, Reitred Shinobi Amatsurahashi Kanata \| Sister \| 16, Kirigakure, Shinobi, Chuunin 【Dreams and fears】 His dream is to see actual freedom. To be able to see what it truly means for a shinobi to be able to be free. He'd also like to learn how to play an instrument, ANY instrument. His deepest and darkest fear is for all that is beautiful to him, including his family, to be taken away from him all at once. To leave him at the mercy of a world where nothing can no longer make him feel alive. Basically, being alive but dead inside is his biggest fear. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Many describe Mikoto's fighting style as refined and entracing. They say it is like watching him dance instead of fighting. Still, Mikoto's taijutsu is deadly and precise. There is no wasted effort, no wasted moves. Everything is made to be a beautifully perfect fighting style for Mikoto. Rhythm and tempo are the bases for his taijutsu style. He always tries to imitate a song playing inside his head as he fights, trying to match the timings of his strikes and the timing to avoid and counter-attack. Thanks to his being knowledgeable about several types of music, it is easy for him to change gears in the blink of an eye. He tends to use bojutsu, a fighting style through the use of a staff, when he thinks taijutsu is no longer enough to defeat someone. He usually combines bojutsu with ninjutsu to make an even more lethal style. He is more of a physical fighter rather than using ninjutsu and genjutsu. His ninjutsu acts more as a support for his fighting style and he tries to avoid using genjutsu, mainly because it isn't his best subject. His ninjutsu focuses on the use of water as a high speed waterjet to cut through things. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Doesn't have one. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Water Release: High Speed Jet B rank techniques: Water Release: Water Beast Water Release: Hiding in Water Technique C rank techniques: Water Release: Water Gun Water Release: Water Whip Water Clone Technique D-E rank techniques: All basic Academy E ones. 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Water Release: High Speed Jet Rank: A Range: Short Range, can only be use in hand-to-hand combat. Description: The user releases a high speed stream of water from their finger tips and envelops both of their hands in a water jet that can cut through just about anything. This technique, however, is as harmful to the user as it is to their opponent, and can only be used once in a fight to avoid further damage to their hands and/or weapons. Depending of the Chakra output of the user, this move becomes more powerful and becomes able to cut through harder materials. How much the chakra is being used also determines how long this jutsu can last. At minimum output, the Jutsu can cut through wood easily and can last about an hour (6 posts) without damaging the user's skin. In a weapon, it can last for a complete hour (6 posts) before it starts eating away at the materials of the weapon. At medium output, the jutsu can cut through bone, rock and even iron. The user can mantain it for 15 (3 posts) minutes without major damage to their hands. In a weapon, it can last for 30 minutes (4 posts). At maximum output, the jutsu can cut through just about any kind of metal standing in its way, though it won't be able to cut through chakra enhanced weapons, diamonds or crystal release jutsus. In the user's hands, it can only last for a minute (1 post) before there is major damage and in a weapon it can last for 5 minutes (2 posts) before it destroys the weapon completely. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon Name: Sonatta Weapon, tool or object type: Staff Description: A large white and black staff that is about the same height as Mikoto himself. It is made out of wood and has two metal plates at both of its ends, so it can withstand Mikoto's High Speed Jet Jutsu. “Yeah, I am that guy's sister. No, I won't get you a date with him. Why? Because he doesn't freakin' like dudes!” Standing at a not even surprising 1.64 meters and a rather slim and flimsy frame, it is Amatsurahashi Kanata. Like her brother, she has fiery red hair and blue eyes, but neither of them are as well cared for as his. In fact, her brother likes to point out the split ends her hair might have. Her hair is long and usually kept in a pair of twintails that reach her waist. Her blue eyes are big and have been called cute several times, by relatives and her mother, mainly. Her fair skin does have some cream put into it but not the ungodly amounts her brother uses. Like other men, she fears she might catch fire if she imitates her brother. Her frame is slim but well trained, as expected of any shinobi. The problem lies in her chest, something she has a strong complex about and what often makes others confuse her for a boy (given how her brother is). A teenager who'd like to put as much attention on her appearance as her homo brother, Amatsurahashi Kanata. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Amatsurahashi Kanata 【Alias】 Little Sister 【Affiliation】 Undecided 【Age】 16 【Sex】 Female 【Sexuality】 Straight 【Birthplace】 Kirigakure 【Bloodline】 Amatsurahashi 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Unlike her brother who has 'shit for brains', Kanata is a lot more normal than her egocentric and metrosexual brother, if a lot more tomboyish than your regular kunoichi. But let's be honest here, what screams femininity more than a girl in a tight suit jumping around and throwing sharp things at others? Foul-mouthed by nature, full of hormones thanks to her age and Kanata's short fuse make her an adorable pack of emotions, insults, bad words and sarcasm all in one. She's known for not holding anything back, and this has gotten her in a lot more of problems than she's ever wanted to have. Her tongue moves faster than her brain can catch up, hurling insults at people she shouldn't piss off. She depends a lot on her brother Mikoto to get her out of such situations. An idiot by birth not by choice, Kanata has found herself in more than one tight spot both in school and in the streets. She often comments on how life wouldn't be as exciting if she didn't get in as much problems as she does, though. Add to all of this the fact that she has several complexes about her body and life and it just makes her the perfect adolescent with attitude problems. She just needs to run away and the pack should be complete. Among her several complexes, she's got a complex about her chest and an inferiority complex towards her brother. Don't try to mention her height or call her a boy either. Overall, Kanata is a short-tempered idiot with a big mouth AND some ability as a ninja. At least she knows how to fight AND when she should just run for it instead of fighting. "Live to fight another day. Those idiots will never catch me anyway, not with mighty homo Mikoto watching my back." 【History】 Unlike her brother, Kanata was largely ignored in her school years, all the way from elementary school it was just a big whole of... nothing. Have you ever seen your graduation photo and noticed a guy that is there but you never actually saw? If not, that's what several people thought after getting their graduation photo and finally noticing Kanata. Everyone expected big things from Amatsurahashi Mikoto's sister, only to be let down by the extremely pragmatic and sarcastic Kanata. Her existence mostly went unnoticed until she finally became a Chuunin. Pairing up with her brother and going out in missions made them a deadly combo. Finally, people started noticing Kanata and she wasn't sure of whether this was a good or bad thing. Well, she never really did have a lack of friends, she just was in that small group that mostly went unnoticed by others. Later she determined that it was bad. Real bad. They all came to her with words like 'Oh, did Mikoto have a sister? Never knew.' or 'Wow, to think you could actually do something!'. What came after those comments was most definitely not pretty. Having gained a bad reputation this time around, people started to actually avoid her. Well, her fame was short lived, and it was good that it was. 【Family ties】 Kanata's father died before she was born, so she only has her older brother and mother to rely on. While she is fond of and loves the two of them, she does find them, Mikoto specially, annoying. Amatsurahashi Haruka \| Mother \| 42, Kirigakure, Retired Shinobi Amatsurahashi Mikoto \| Brother \| 20, Kirigakure, Shinobi, Part of the Red Sages, "Full time homo" 【Dreams and fears】 She dreams of one day surpassing her ever so perfect and beautiful brother, or at the very least shake off the feeling of inferiority she feels towards him. Her biggest fear is not being able to go to the next One Direction concert living in the shadow of her brother. Also to be noted, she is scared witless of Mikoto's imminent death if he keeps doing dangerous things. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Never to shine herself but to give others the opportunity to shine, Kanata's fighting style is a purely supportive one. She can indeed defend herself in hand to hand combat, yes, but her true talent comes out when she is fighting alongside someone else. Her specialty are ninjutsu and genjutsu used to support a more aggressive battle style like her brother's. She intends to stall, hinder and trip her opponents at every step they give. Even if they are about to hit their mark, she'll make sure that what they hit is nothing more but an illusion she's made. Cunning and brains, not muscles and... more muscles, are what make her a formidable fighter. She uses water release, but unlike her brother, she uses mist and barriers to hinder her opponents. Her taijutsu is the weakest part of her fighting style as a whole. She can easily be overpowered by any opponent with more experience in hand to hand combat or otherwise. Her taijutsu is focused on the use of her legs, since her arms are more like sticks. She uses a combination of muay thai and tae kwon do to keep opponents at bay while she uses her hands to prepare her next jutsu. Kanata also tends to use submission holds against opponents bigger than her, in order to keep them from moving and to give herself more time to cast her next jutsu. Thanks to her being bad at taijutsu, she carries even more kunais than the average shinobi. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Thank God I don't need to fill this longass form 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Water Release: Water Heavens Convergence B rank techniques: Water Release: Water Formation Pillar Water Release: Water Beast Illysionary Mist C rank techniques: Water Prison Technique Water Release: Water Gun Water Clone Technique Water Release: Enveloping Mist D-E rank techniques: Hidden In Mist Technique 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Water Release: Enveloping Mist Rank: C Range: Large, it covers an area of 30 meters around the user. Description: The user, Kanata, releases mist from the tip of her fingers that envelops a wide are around her. It does nothing more, nothing less. Once the mist is out of Kanata, it does not take any chakra for her to mantain it. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Kunais. Lots and lots of them. Weapon, tool or object type: Throwing Kunai Description: Simple kunais in ungodly quantities. Makes you wonder where the hell is she hiding so many of them. “Calm yourself. I mean you no harm. ... Your heartbeat is starting to calm down. Good.” An intimidating man standing at 1.80 meters and a man of nerves made out of steel, Kisaragi Anzai. He's got short and spiky black hair falling right over his face. He uses a headband at the top of his forehead to not let it rub against his face, since he is pretty sensitive. Anzai's skin is dark brown, making for a perfect example of the trademark Kumogakure ethnicity. He's got gray eyes, but he always keeps his eyes shut. Unlike many cliché anime characters, Anzai actually keeps his own eyes shut because he is blind. His physique is quite buff and muscular, something that affects his diet quite a lot since he needs to eat a lot more than your regular shinobi. Despite his physique and Kekkei Genkai, Anzai keeps always keeps a cane by his side. The Blind Assassin, Kisaragi Anzai. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Kisaragi Anzai 【Alias】 The Blind Assassin, Anzu 【Affiliation】 Red Sages 【Age】 25 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Asexual/Bi-romantic (think I saw someone use the word hetero-romantic somewhere, so I'm borrowing the idea) 【Birthplace】 Kumogakure 【Bloodline】 Kisaragi 【Rank】 Jounin -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Calm and stoic are the words that best define Anzai. He's lived his life having to take calm and well-thought steps due to his blindness. It gives you more time to think, in a way. Everything he does is well-thought and meditated, even his jokes, which tend to be overlooked because of his monotone tone of voice. Because of his legendary calmness and his habit of meditation, many often believe that Anzai is, in fact, sleeping. He has fallen asleep while meditating if we are being completely honest, but it is a rare occurrence indeed. Once, someone stepped over him while sleeping. Anzai is really prideful, despite his usual cool demeanor. Offering to help him go down the stairs or other friendly offers for help upset him greatly and, despite not losing his cool demeanor, you'll find yourself threatened by that same calm nature. In a nutshell, feeling pity for him can really work against you. "Even as I am blind, I can see far more than you." His mannerisms and calmness often lead others to believe that he is expressionless, or worse, emotionless. This is most certainly not true, but Anzai does manage to keep his emotions in check most of the time. This is because he understands and accepts all of his emotions, which has also made him able to tell a person's mood through the tone of their voice or what they are feeling through the beat of their heart. These two abilities, though, are rendered useless in battle as he cannot focus his hearing solely in his opponent, otherwise he'd feel he's leaving himself open. As with everything else, Anzai tends to keep calm and stoic even in the most heated of situations, making him both an intimidating and terrifying foe. 【History】 The long line of Katsuragi shinobi felt that its long tradition of warriors had come to an end when they discovered that Anzai, next in line to become the head of the small clan, was born blind. Not having sight, an almost indispensable tool in the trade of being a ninja. They thought all was lost were it not for what they noticed later. The boy could indeed see and his 'sight' could reach even further than their own. The Kekkei Genkai of the Kisaragi allows them to feel electric currents, but only when thrown in a jutsu, making it a highly defensive type of Kekkei Genkai that could only protect them against an specific type of jutsu. Anzai's blindness took it a step further. Anzai could actually sense the small electrical charges carried by electrons, and that permitted him to make an image inside of his head of what things would look like if he could see, and what made it better was the fact that his 'vision' covered a whole 360 around him. It was blurry at first, of course. Untrained and instinctive, the Kisaragi could not pass up on such an opportunity. Regardless of his shortcomings when he first started training, the Kisaragi finally were able to make an specially deadly and stoic shinobi out of Anzai, who could now see clearly after refining the use fo his Kekkei Genkai. Once he got clearance to become a Jounin, however, what followed were years full of frustration. Everyone looked down on him because of his blidness. They wouldn't allow him to participate in missions, and he would remain mediocre because the Confederation frowned upon physical demonstrations of power, at least between their own armies. The last straw was when his commander called him weak, and that he couldn't kill him even if he were sleeping. Making a live demonstration, Anzai went to the Red Sages dragging his commander's body by the neck. The commander was known to be a powerful but arrogant commander that had been hindering several of the operations of the Red Sages. He hoped that such a demonstration would be enough for the Red Sages to acknowledge his potential. Thankfully for them, they did. 【Family ties】 Anzai's family is filled with strong warriors, warriors that would risk their lives at the beck and call of their masters. So was the case with both of Anzai's parents, who died while he was still training. His only remaining (close) family is his grandfather. Kisaragi Youtsugi \| Grandfather \| 81, Kumogakure, Old fart too proud to retire from being a shinobi. 【Dreams and fears】 Anzai dreams of making his a powerful clan, one rivaling the Uchiha or the Hyuuga. Despite not seeing (pun intended) the allure of the intercourse, Anzai does wish to have an heir who inherits both his powerful Kekkei Genkai and blindness, horrible as it may sound. He thinks of himself as the next step towards greatness for his clan. An improvement over those before him and the true potential of their Kekkei Genkai. His biggest fear, though odd but logical considering his personality, is to be able to see with his eyes. He feels he'll lose his powerful KG if he sudeenly becomes able to see. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 A dojutsu without eyes. So many have described Anzai's battle style. His genjutsu skills are non-existant, perhaps because he cannot see in the traditional way, but his lack of skill in genjutsu is compensated by his skill in ninjutsu and kenjutsu. He keeps his sword concealed inside the cane he always carries with himself. His fighting style is one that prioritizes domination over the battlefield. If people ambush him, then he'll keep everyone at a safe distance through the use of his ninjutsu, and then engage each of them with his sword and finish them quickly. He's been called the Blind Assassin because he always aims to end his fights quickly, before his opponent can catch up on the several weaknesses of his Kekkei Genkai. If he is overwhelmed or has spent too much in a fight, he tends to retire as quick as possible and fight another day, despite his prideful personality. He is dead set on not letting anyone know of the weaknesses of his abilities, and will surely kill anyone who catches on on them. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Denkaku (電覚) Description: The Kisaragi KG allows the clansmen to sense strong currents of electricity, like those produced from a Lightning Release ninjutsu. Anzai's lack of sight, however, makes this ability extremely powerful, and allows him to sense even the small electrons that are around almost every atom, which allows him to make complete 360 images in a range of 10 meters around him. The KG also allows the Kisaragi to use an special type of ninjutsu because of the constant electric wave that surrounds them. Anzai's is neither stronger nor weaker than those before him. Strengths: Allows Anzai to make 360 images of the terrain he is in. Can dodge Lightning release ninjutsu easily thanks to being able to detect them from wherever they are coming. Due to the excited atoms of a hot body, Anzai can also sense Fire Release rather clearly and can sense even more clearly any individual with a high body temperature. Anzai can become a walking stungun by amplifying the electric wave going around him. If extremely concentrated and in only one individual, Anzai can predict their next attacks by seeing the electricity running through their muscles as they move. This, however, makes him blind to any other thing happening in his surroundings. Weaknesses: Being hit by Wind Release, the usual weakness of Lightning release, can either make his vision blurry or blind him completely, if the jutsu is strong enough(B jutsus and stronger). He cannot sense Ice Release or any body at Absolute Zero temperature. (Not necessarily a shinobi, could also be metal). Due to the lack of electrons in their atoms, Anzai can't sense gases either. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Lightning Release: Depht Charge Lightning Release: Walking Stungun B rank techniques: Lightning Release: False Darkness Lightning Release: Lightning Trap C rank techniques: Lightning Release Wall Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder D-E rank techniques: None worth mentioning. 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Lightning Release: Walking Stungun Rank: A Range: Short Range Description: Using Lightning Release, Anzai supercharges his nervous system after amplifying the natural electric wave surrounding his body and reversing it inside, but unlike A's Lightning Chakra mode, Anzai does not enhance his physical capabilities. The electricity surrounding Anzai also becomes visible to any of his enemies as small lightning courses his arms, chest and legs. Touching Anzai while doing this will result in an extremely painful and stunning electric shock, that renders taijutsu useless against him. While this does not actually hurt Anzai, it does leave him paralyzed for a long while afterwards, so he does not use it that often. The longest he can keep this technique activated is for 5 posts. Anzai theorizes that if his whole body was sedated and his mind wasn't, he could use this technique to move. He hasn't had the opportunity to prove this theory, though, and the fact that he still needs to make the hand seals makes it... kind of pointless. Jutsu name: Lightning Blade: Heaven Piercing Lunge Rank: S Range: Short to Mid Range Description: Anzai thrusts his weapon forward and, much like like the Chidori Katana of Sasuke, creates a highly condensated flow of Lightning release chakra with a range of 10 meters. Though it does not chirp loudly like the Chidori Katana, there is indeed a low, cracking sound that warns of its arrival, not to mention that when it hits, it makes the same sound as a thunder striking the ground as all of the compacted energy dissipates after hitting its target. It is compact and quite small, and its range falls short to other jutsu, but it is a jutsu that can pierce through mostly anything, unless faced with a weapon with flowing Lightning Release chakra or Air Release chakra. Thanks to Anzai's detection and skill, he can make the attack change its course as he wants, though not as many times as he'd like. After moving it three times, the jutsu disappears. Though extremely lethal as it can pierce easily through someone's head or ribcage in an attempt to kill Anzai's enemies, it really depends a lot of where it hits. Jutsu name: Lightning Release: Lightning Spread Rank: C Range: Long Range Description: A variation of the Electromagnetic Murder jutsu. Putting both of his hands on the ground, Anzai releases lightning in a range of 20 meters to keep his opponents away. Jutsu name: Lightning Release Wall Rank: C Range: Short to Mid Range Description: Using Lightning Release, Anzai erects (( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)) a wall with a maximum range of 10 meters, that can be extended to 20 if he places seals to help him keep it up. The wall is made up of violent electric bolts, making it harmful for anyone trying to get past it, whether they want to enter it or exit it. It doesn't seem to affect Lightning Release users as much, though. The only way to dispel it is to either defeat Anzai or, if it is being used at mid range, to take off the seals previously placed by Anzai. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Silent Death Weapon, tool or object type: Sword Cane Description: A sword hidden inside a cane that would otherwise be used to aid his walking. How it looks
51,146	1,381	53	985	319	Nori Hisakawa Red Sages Nori breathed a small sigh of relief as Lady Tametomo ended it. The commander of the 11th Corps was dead, and the Red Sages had given the Hamajo Confederation a blow that they couldn't brush off so easily. The retreat order was given, and he was more than ready to follow her out and give her his report along the way. He had kept towards the back while the tail end of the fighting occurred, Katsuko and Seijo handling the situation decisively. Except now, he'd wished he had stayed on the streets, dealing with lesser Confederate shinobi, or even kept getting his ass kicked by Higoho. Because at the moment, he really, really didn't want to be the focus of attention of the enemy General, Yakoul. His gut twisted in an uncomfortable fashion, and the nausea was only made worse by the fact that his side was already bothersome after the Hyuga smacked him. For a moment, he thought the feline had placed him under a genjutsu. What the hell is wrong? Why is it looking at me like that? Are they going to kill me to avenge the 11th corps commander? I hardly feel like I can move, or breathe...wait. Calm down, Nori. Nori gathered up his thoughts, and rationalized the situation. It was the best way he knew to handle stress, taking in a single, unsteady breath. I don't think I'm under a genjutsu. They aren't attacking me, simply focusing on me out of a crowd. If they do attack and kill me though, then I won't be able to pass on information to Lady Tametomo. The best thing to do right now is to just retreat alongside the rest of the Red Sages. The only control I have over them attacking me is by making myself stand out so they find it worth their time. So, time to just blend in and leave with the others. Nori quickly turned from Yakoul and leaped after Seijo, who was hopefully willing to fight back if the feline general decided to pursue. He had done his best to suppress the fear of their Killing Intent, and moved on with his duties with a fervor. "Commander Tametomo, I encountered an unusual kekkei genkai during a fight near the back lines of our ranks. I'm not certain if this is a new clan that has allied with the Confederacy, or if it's simply unique to that individual, but by its nature, it could be a threat in the future. I'll explain details later, if you wish." Nori took a glance back, hoping that Yakoul wasn't about to charge after the two of them and turn that killing intent a reality. "There was also a Hyuga present at this festival surprisingly. I only encountered the one, but there could be more. They could track us."	“Sacrifice yourself to do one good thing, or live on to do many? Think about it.” Standing at about 5'11" and weighing in at 150~lb, Nori is tall, lean shinobi, with an air of thoughtful relaxation about him. His bluish-black hair is trimmed slightly shorter than in the picture above, keeping the bangs out of his eyes, and the length in the back about halfway down the neck. His skin is rather pale, with sharp grey eyes, and slightly pointed teeth reminiscent of the Seven Ninja Swordsman of the Mist. Attire-wise; in battle, he forgoes a flak jacket, instead settling for a chain mesh under a loose, sleeveless blue shirt, black shin-length pants, standard issue black sandals, arm-guards, and his dark blue scarf tucked into the back of his shirt; a worn Kirigakure plate is attached to the end of this. Out of battle, his attire is much more modern; while he still sticks to wearing blue out of habit, he often dresses in semi-casual suit jackets, button-up shirts, slacks, and sneakers, varying to weather and situation as necessary. The only consistency is the dark-blue scarf, kept with him regardless of occasion. Personnel files.

He's often relaxing to be around because of this trait; you'll almost never be interrupted or ignored, and especially those needing to blow off some steam will drift to him. The responses are where that line becomes less clear-cut. His honesty in his responses, and the depth he might go to analyze a statement, can lead to starting an argument that never needed to happen, or worsening an existing one. Not everyone likes hearing the truth. He doesn't seem to regret these situations, since the problem wasn't his fault in the first place. Some people think he's arrogant because of this aloofness, and they wouldn't be wrong. He'll become frustrated if people challenge his analysis, and even moreso if he happens to have made a mistake in his interpretation of the situation in the first place. Being such a good listener though, sometimes he has trouble starting conversations, or holding them. He doesn't really have the social drive to keep up small talk for very long, and he also dislikes having to talk about himself. It takes work for him to honestly feel like opening up to anyone, and he grows extremely uncomfortable talking about himself or his past. Which leads to a conflict of interests; if he can talk to you about your problems, why can't he talk to you about his own? 【History】 Nori is the only son of his parents, a non-shinobi father and a hunter-nin mother, in the unsteady Kirigakure village. With the years preceding the era of peace from the Hamajō Confederation, his mother was hardly ever home for the boy, constantly performing missions, be they for the village, or against its defectors. No questions asked has always been the terms of the Hidden Mist though, and so he simply smiled and nodded when his father constantly praised her mother as a hero, regardless of how dirty her job was. Even when she did return though, she never doted on him, unlike how he saw other mothers do with their children. She simply enjoyed the brief tranquility that would come between her missions as much as possible, and Nori accepted the exhaustion that came with his mother, the "hero." As he grew into his Academy years, he himself trained diligently in the Academy, to become a "great hero" like his scarcely seen mother, and succeeded; he was quiet, talented, and most importantly, obedient. What he also learned however, is how to be an outcast; children in times of war are never settled, and they found every reason to question why his father wasn't a shinobi, and tease that maybe his mother wouldn't come back this time. He simply let them speak and continued his training; his father did everything he could as a parent, and his mother was a hero. He didn't have the nerve to question them early on, and didn't care once he understood later. Even after learning of just what the job of hunter-nin entailed, well, it was just another grisly duty, and he would be more than willing to follow his mother's footsteps in that role. And then, during his graduating year at the Academy, the war hit a terrifying peak for Kirigakure--the destruction of the village. People scattered. Most died. Nori and his family were of the lucky ones; they managed to get out before the devastation, finding themselves heading north across the water to the Land of Lightning, and the new Kumo Province. For a long time, neither of them knew where his mother was. His father took up the task of farming, struggling to get by in the lackluster area. Nori didn't know what to do. He had been following in his mother's footsteps, but how could he join a military that let their home be destroyed and separated him from his "hero?" His decision would be solidified several years later, after the Hamajō Confederation had settled in. After the destruction of Kirigakure, his mother had been lost. She didn't know what had happened to her family. She thought them likely dead, herself being another lucky one, sent over to the Land of Fire on her most recent task. The loss of home, the loss of family...she ended up with some of the scattered armies, and eventually decided that she would fight against the power that couldn't protect her anymore; she joined the would-be Red Sages, and eventually got herself killed for it. Family connections were made. The Confederation came to his father's farm, looking for intel on the Red Sages. Neither of them knew anything about what had happened after Kirigakure, and after some extremely stern interrogation, decided that refugees fled to Kumo wouldn't know what happened to a traitor last seen near Konoha. "Traitor." That was the term that had solidified his decision. There had to be a reason; she had been a hunter-nin. Her duty: to track down rogue shinobi, the traitors. She had to know the consequences of becoming the hunted, so the reason for her supposed defection had to have some meaning behind it. He thought it over, and decided to continue her fight. His father never questioned it; he was a grown man now, and his decision was his own. He would join the Red Sages, and fight the real traitors. 【Family ties】 Nori grew up in a single-father middle-class household, with his mother visiting only once every several months during her time of service after she got herself off of maternity leave. He has no siblings. After the destruction of Kirigakure, he lived in near-poverty with his single father, and never saw his mother again. Naozumi Hisakawa \| Father \| 50, Kumogakure, farmer. Suffers depression from the loss of his wife. Under surveillance following disappearance of chunin son. Former spouse classified as traitor. Koyori Hisakawa \| Mother \| 44, Deceased. Hunter-nin. Classified as traitor for assisting criminals against the Hamajō Confederation. 【Dreams and fears】 Nori's dreams are to discover why his mother decided to join the Red Sages before him, and avenge her personal legacy. His fears are for his father being punished for having two criminals in the family, despite his innocence. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Nori focuses around genjutsu-based combat, looking to manipulate his opponents into a corner with various Water-style ninjutsu and weaponry--most notably being a naginata--before locking them down with genjutsu and going in to finish the job. 【N/A】 Bloodline limit name: N/A Description: User possesses no known kekkei genkai. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: B rank techniques: Water Release: Water Formation Wall C rank techniques: Water Prison Technique Water Clone Technique Water Release: Water Bullet Technique Water Release: Water Bowl D-E rank techniques: Body Replacement Technique Unsealing Technique Hiding in Mist Technique 【Custom made techniques】 Aquatic Bone Suffering Rank: B Range: Dependent Description: This jutsu causes all water created from a previous Water Release ninjutsu to have an extreme numbing effect to any skin in contact with it, extremely hindering the sense of touch, and in turn, making it more difficult to control the dampened areas. While the effect is immediate and intense though, it's reliant on how wet the opponent is; if they've been successfully dodging techniques, or happen to be in heavy armor, they likely won't be affected significantly. Likewise, managing to sufficiently dry themselves will remove the effect, and as with all genjutsu, if they are aware it's the illusion of loss of sensation, then they can mentally force themselves to overcome it if possible. The strength of the technique is its subtlety and range, the weakness being its ease of avoidance. Jutsu name: Water Release: Seashell Current Discord Rank: B Range: Mid to long-range Description: An audio genjutsu, in which the user releases a quick jet of water from their mouth onto anything nearby. Those hearing any noise the jet of water creates, such as its impact, will begin hearing only the noise they heard the genjutsu create, be it a splash on another body of water, against a tree, etc., essentially cutting off their ability to hear. In combination with the Hiding in Mist Technique, it can be crippling to have one of your other means of locating your opponent crippled. The strength of the genjutsu lies in it's simplicity of execution and subtlety. The weaknesses lie in the lack of physical hindrance; the opponent is not incapacitated in any other way, and it can be avoided by not hearing the initial noise, and the technique can be overcome with sufficient time/chakra control. Jutsu name: Kingdom of the Eastern Seas Rank: A Range: Short Description: The user clasps their hand at an opponent's throat or forehead while casting the genjutsu, after which, the victim will be under the illusion of being dragged to the bottom of the ocean floor; painful, crushing water pressure, asphyxiation, no light, and no sound. These effects persist until the caster of the genjutsu releases their hand from the opponent, or loses the ability to channel the chakra. The weakness of the technique lies in its extremely close range, especially so with the need to grasp something as usually well-protected as a head or neck. The strength lies in the fast effects and sheer intensity of the genjutsu, crippling all senses at once, incapacitating most in short order. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Customized Naginata Description: A 5 foot long bright grey naginata, with the bottom half able to collapse into the top to make it a more efficient weapon at extremely close range, as well as the tsuba consisting of a hardened rubber disk, to insulate electricity coming through the blade, knowing that his exclusive use of water techniques makes him quite vulnerable to an electric discharge. The coloration is exclusively for blending in with the Hiding in Mist Technique, to make the weapon harder to see. Okay, just threw it in over the post I had to "delete" before.
51,147	1,381	54	1,221	49	Tanji Tsugiharu Somewhere about the Village's Alleys and Roadways, Konoha Ame-Suna Border, Harvest Festival He was finishing up gleaning information from the Red Sages as the battle soon drew to a close. Again, not much was gained from his cerebral intrusion, but it always made him smile knowing these traitors got their just deserts. He'd have to confer with the Intelligence Corps and corroborate notes but at least he can rest assured he did good toda- “BASTARD! WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, PRETENDING TO BE ME?” Tsugi's eyes went wide as the Hyuga sent a terrifying wave of energy at him, caught unawares and still having his hand on a traitor's forehead, Tsugi took the full brunt of the assault knocking the wind out of him as he skidded across the street, stopping only as his body hit a wall. He wasn't entirely sure what he did wrong, but as his mind went numb, so finally the transformation jutsu did break. As he saw the residual smoke waft away as his transformation dropped, he finally put two-and-two together. "Goddammit, I'm an idiot," he mumbled as he staggered back up unto his feet. No sooner as he did, he immediately regretted it, as the world began to spin under him forcing him to take a knee. The Hyuga was still visibly angry, and honestly he couldn't blame him. All ready on a knee, it made it all the more easier to bring his head, arms and knees to the ground in the ultimate sign of submission, "I'm friendly I swear! Its just a habit to keep transformations in the Intelligence Corp, pleasedonthurtmeohgoddammitidonwannadie." He waited for a response hoping to the Great God and Savior Kenye, that this Hyuga was the forgiving type. Worse come to worse, he prepped a Underground Projection jutsu, planning to slip under the ground to hopefully make a quick get away.	“I think he's dead -er, well, everybody else think he is, but now I'm not sure.” An unassuming man by most standards, not impressive or lacking in most aspects, just simply there. Short, if a bit rustled, brown hair, with a square face free of any scars or blemishes and average everyday brown eyes, in the academy you wouldn't really notice him in the sea of exceptional talent, but he gets by.Not particularly skinny, tall, muscular, just a healthy and acceptable male in his early 20's. Probably not going to amount to much beyond being a low-tier Jonin if he's lucky. Probably. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Tanji Tsugiharu 【Alias】 The Master Coward 【Affiliation】 Confederacy 【Age】 22 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Straight 【Birthplace】 Kusagakure 【Bloodline】 The Long, and Ancient Line of Stalwart Customs House Guards, the Tanji House has protected the village from attacks from undeclared fruits, paperless neer-do-wells, and other dangers of the Border. 【Rank】 Chunin Psych. report. Tanji Tsugiharu has exhibited little to no extreme beliefs or jarring idiosyncrasies (which in itself might be one). The Confederacy has deemed him a loyal citizen of the state. He has a positive work ethic, follows rules and regulations to the letter save for the most exceptional situation (of which he has been disciplined and reprimanded as per the law). He is as kind and self-less as any bachelor of the confederacy is and is devoted to his position. 【Personality】 Rather mundane. Pleasant enough in many social interactions, and prefers to follow conversations rather than lead them himself. That said he has some good friends back in his home town and has made a decent few in his new post. Amicable to his clients, but oddly stoic and unfeeling when it comes to dealing with traitors and rebels. He prefers to spend his free time drinking with close friends in a quiet homely tavern or ramen shop, and has an odd fixation with karaoke. When off duty he spends his days with his small family back in his home town. In battle he is as serious as any good shinobi should be in those situations. He is selfless in his duty to the confederacy and has volunteered to be bait on multiple occasions on the condition that the battle ends quickly afterwards. When plans fail and battles are drawn out he doesn't panic too much, but 9 times out of 10 will opt to lead or support a withdrawal. "Live to fight another day." 【History】 Tsugiharu's parents were simple Chunin Guards with a Customs House on a major trade route, their duties were rather mundane and drool, but once in a while held excitement when travelers had disagreements with the customsofficer. The couple resided in a modest home after an unplanned pregnancy had made the two man and wife. It was tough going at first but the relative isolation and non-relevancy of the village made for a peaceful life, and they grew content and able with the new family. 14 years after the birth of their first son, and with much more financial stability the 2 deemed themselves ready for another son. The Tanji house lived peacefully for 3 more years until the dissent and turmoil of the Confederacy reached their village leading to a violent terrorist attack on the village's crossroads leading to their deaths. This left the 17 year old boy to care for his young brother, fortunately the Proprietor of the Customs House, who at that point was now an old family friend offered to shelter the 2 orphans until the 18th birthday of the elder brother who decided to not rely on the kindness of the Customs Master any longer. Such the 2 siblings lived in a shabby apartment the elder supporting the small family as a Customs House guard like his parents. He, Tanji Hamurato, would continue to support (and sometimes spoil) his younger brother as he took his own wife(Tanji Orimoto) and had a daughter (Tanji Ekka) of their own while was just starting high-school. Tsugiharu was an average student in his own right never excelling or lacking in any field or discipline. He was studious and forthwith at the academy but never went above or beyond what was required. His work as a Genin in his squad was also mundane sticking to class D and lower missions, in exception to one class C defense contract. Simply tasked with defending a local tavern from extorting thugs (non-shinobi rabble), the mission report told of the 3 genin having to deal with some thugs as the accompanying Jonin talked with the owners, but nothing really came out of it. However rumors that local gangster being rather jumpy, defensive and generally paranoid around small sounds and shadows circulated around the tavern's area. Come the Chunin exams though he displayed adept problem solving and leadership skills within his squad, but that might have just been in need rather than by ambition. He opted to remain quarrel-less and jovial with the other Genin and never really showed exceptionaltalent other than what was required to get through the trials. However it can be noted that during the elimination tournament that the young Tanji employed some rather harsh and quick measures using poisons, weapons and simple genjutsus to end matches before his opponents can truly pull out their trump cards. A good thing too, for the proctors had stated that if not for his "bag of cheap tricks" his opponents would have easily out-classed him had the fight dragged on. He was unceremoniously given the rank of Chunin, barely passing after having been defeated by the more Capable Genin that saw through his ruses in the final rounds of the tournament. After graduating opted to become a Contract work Shinobi unlike his family before him. He takes missions for the Confederacy as many times as he can, but seems to seek missions pertaining to the rooting out and apprehension of dissident and unloyal citizens and terrorists. Currently lives by himself in a modest apartment close to his work place. 【Family ties】 Lower-Middle Class, had some hardships for sure, but was never truly in danger of starving or dying of exposure. Such a life made Tsugiharu rather humble and soft-spoken. Hopes to keep up with his duties and occasionally visits his brother and his family. Tanji Hamurato \| Elder Brother \| (36), Kusagakure, Currently a guard at a customs house. Sanguine, always optimistic and smiling in many situations. Tanji Orimoto \| Sister-in-Law \| (35), Kusagakure, Housewife of Hamurato, Choleric, rather plain but has the charm of a country girl going for her. Demure and rather quiet in contrast to her husband. Tanji Ekka\| Niece \| 9, Kusagakure, Student, Mercurial, tempermental and extremely competitive. A bit of a tomboy and a much more naturally talented than her father and uncle in the academy. 【Dreams and fears】 Dreams of finally bringing the traitors and belligerents of the Confederacy to justice and hopes to finally see peace and order to the state. Fears of losing his family to the dangers that is the enemies of the Confederacy. Combat reports. Has a quite odd fighting style and might be the epitome of "work smarter not harder." Picks and chooses his engagements when he knows the enemy may be taken down quickly and with minimal loss. This usually ends up with him or a squad-mate in grievous condition so long the opponent is taken out before unnecessary damage is done to anybody else. Such operations usually include him stringing together a myriad of feints, illusions and gambits to ensure the enemy can be taken down in one decisive attack by his squad rather than prolonged engagements. This unfortunately makes him rather sub-par when caught unawares. As such he is most delegated to planned attacks on high value targets to either eliminate, apprehend or interrogate 【Fighting style】 Some might call his methods cowardice but it has kept him alive. He employs the liberal use of clones supplemented by heavy use of false sounds and images using his specialized study in illusionary genjustsu. He chips away at his opponents using small thrown weapons like shurikens and senbons to keep his opponent on edge and unfocused. While his genjutsu gives ample distractions and false visions he also uses fine rope and bells tied to said weapons to create snares and distractions for the slim but inevitable chance that his opponent finally makes a mistake. When they do he delivers a powerful and dibilitating poisons through the same methods as above when the opponent finally opens themselves up to receive his limited supply. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 NONE 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Bringer of Darkness Technique B rank techniques: Demonic Bells: Phantom Sound Chains (Uses a Network of Tuned Bells strung onto ropes to create a melody rather than a flute) Interrogation Genjutsu C rank techniques: Earth Release: Underground Projection Fish Technique.

Academy Jutsus (Substitions, transformation, clone) 【Custom made techniques】 False Sound Rank: C Range: Short - Medium (0m~10m) Description: Once someone is affected by the jutsu causes them to hear sounds under direction of the ninja that casted it. Can be dispelled as normal genjutsu can. Single target per cast (but can be casted on multiple targets). Also relies on the opponent being knowledgeable enough to make the sounds realistic (or not realistic) as possible. Jutsu name:Shadow Weapon Rank: C Short (Before throwing or using weapon): Description: Hide a small thrown weapon in the shadow of another item as it is being thrown. Not a summoned weapon, typically can be countered simply by opponent witnessing the actual weapon being thrown shortly after the concealing weapon is thrown, and dodging for 2 projectiles rather than 1.

51,148	1,381	55	1,663	1,134	Naomi UzumakiAroshima Sarutobi The Red Sages Naomi had no need to directly involve herself with combat. Even since the Flare signed the Red Sages to begin their assault, she stood behind and only picked off Confederate shinobi that had... well, let's say moved way too far from the center of the Harvest Event. The young woman wasn't wearing her usual attire, she was wearing a dark red cloak that reached her thighs and covered a good portion of her body, together with a crimson mask of a hare, with a red lightning in the center of it's eyes. Not pretty, but she decided to keep her identity hidden, opposed to the majority of the red sages who just began the assault with her faces showing to the whole world. For a good while, she was rather peacefully standing in her chosen place, simply overlooking the fight, analyzing the confederation's shinobis and her own allies. It was difficult pointing out who was winning at times; first, the Red Sages seemed to have a clear advantage, but it was only momentarily before the Confederation gathered their own forces and began defending themselves. Naomi moved closer, especially after an imbecile made the favor of putting up a mist that made impossible to see anything. With a single handseal she used the Body Flicker Technique to move closer to the scene, while still somewhat safe (one could easily see her now, but mostly everyone was too distracted fighting). From here, she was able to spot: A Hyuga, with the Byakugan active, pummeling a poor Red Sage , an Uchiha, boldly charging onto combat to aid the Hyuga and a strange, white-haired boy that was using a technique Naomi had never seen before. The fight continued, and became quite intense, Naomi could tell. Eventually, the mist subsided and it was clear that the Red Sages fighting in there were retreating. Naomi followed a red-haired boy with her eyes, he looked girlish and showy, almost provoking in some manner. There was a civilian running, in the direction that Naomi currently was; a Red Sage followed him, slowly, but his pace eventually increased and it was clear that he was following the poor man. When he raised his arm with a Kunai in hand, a shuriken lodged itself straight into his arm. The man yelled in response and glanced up to see where it came from, all Naomi did was shake her head slowly from side to side, in a disapproving manner. She raised her left hand, an index finger pointing far at a Confederate shinobi who was clearly having an easy time defeating a red sage. The rebel understood the message and rushed to aid. On the outskirts of the battlefield, the winds were blowing harshly, the streets were filled with terrified civilians, running from the scene of the battle that was taking place at the center of the Harvest event. It was a mess, truly. Standing on a balcony, a cigarette in his hand the young man known as Aroshima leaned over the railing, looking down. He could hear her snooze from inside, she was still asleep - good, it meant less awkward conversations. His tie blew in the wind, as he thought about this whole scenario. He was on the balcony of a woman who's name he wouldn't remember tomorrow, on the outskirts of a battlefield, truly, his life had spun out of control. Attention was drawn to him when he heard screams from below, it wasn't the cries he had heard before - this was a 'help I'm getting attacked scream'. A shinobi in the confederate uniform was bullying an old man, the young man grunted, flicking the remnants of the tobacco out from the grasp of his fingers, watching as it sailed down to the ground. In the next moment, he moved, vaulting over the rail, he found himself in front of the uniformed soldier - he was a chunnin, like him. He probably knew his name, too, if he thought about it. They had probably met each other once or twice, maybe even had a mission together. "Would you cut that shit out?" Aro asked, walking past him, his tie hanging over his right shoulder thanks to the strong gust of wind. The other man looked him dead in the eye, his hand still at the collar of the old man. "They were supporting rebel troops!" The man shouted, Aro nodded. "Cool. They're civilians. This is our village. Leave them be, there's you know, a fight going on over there, and you're on duty." The soldier grunted, and in the next moment was gone off to the battle. Aro chuckled for himself, helping the old man up, getting mud on his jacket in the process. He shrugged, looking back over at the battlefield, deciding to get a better vantage point - he couldn't let anyone he cared about get hurt, after all, regardless of whatever side they were on. He climbed a rooftop in but a moment, using the body flicker technique to do so, peering out. Green eyes scanned through the battlefield, slowly raising from the ground, onto the nearby buildings. There was a figure she knew, somewhat. Roughly. Very good - Aroshima, the son of the late Nami Uzumaki, or better put, Naomi's aunt and the woman who inspired Naomi's name. He was in a rooftop, apparently not siding with either the confederation or the red sages - what was he doing here, then? Naomi almost failed to care, but in the end, she was curious. She adjusted her mask, she wasn't extremely close with her cousin, neither spent much time with him, but she remember that he was disciplined - and a very hardworking individual. He had points with her, due to that. Her attention was drawn back to the distance between the building he stood atop of, and the little mountain she, herself, was standing on. Not that long; she'd trace it quickly. 3,2 seconds, was all it took for the Uzumaki to appear a few meters behind the man, a kunai drawn in her hand. So, this was the time to check if all his hardwork had paid off, she at least wanted to startle him. A playful move, at most. "Confederate scum, this will be your last breath." He would likely recognize her voice, but it was muffled behind the crimson mask. The footsteps behind him made him begin to turn around, hand in his pocket where he kept his weapons. Turning completely, he saw the masked character move towards him, for but one moment, he considered taking action, but after taking a second to inspect the assailaint, he refrained - a manouver he was taught a long time ago. Standing still, his hand gripping his weapon inside of his pocket, he did not flinch as the kunai came towards his face, stopping but a few inches in front of his eye. "You're gonna poke out someone's eye." Aro spoke, his voice was tense, clearly - he had been a bit worried. "Besides, you really should change your perfume. Could smell you from a mile away." he said, raising his hand from his pocket, lighter in hand, getting out another cigarette from the pocket in his jacket. "So, what do you know about this mess, Cus?" Aro spoke, looking out at the battle, the clashing of metal echoed. She spun the kunai in hand, so the handle was pointing in his direction, instead of a threatening blade. Then, she lowered her arm and pocketed the kunai away, turning her gaze to the side. "Two objetives. Capturing an alive figure of power - such as a politician and assassinating the commander." Her voice was cold, as usual, lacking any form of emotion. She was a bit disappointed, but she made a mental note to buy a different perfume as soon as this mess was done. With a rather agile movement, she produced a kage bunshin, which stood next to her only a few moments before she made a vague gesture towards the main building, where the commander likely was. The clone rushed there. She'd then turn her attention back to her cousin, she was frowning at him behind the mask. "Why do you insist with those cigarettes? They'll just shorten your life. It's not just because you've got Uzumaki's extended lifespan, that you should shorten it for something as futile as smoking." He nodded his head, as if to thank her for not trying to cut his face off with the blade she had drawn. "I see. Sure it's in your best interest to share that sort of info with someone outside of the sages? I suppose we are family, after all." Aro noted, scoffing. She produced a clone, which scurried away towards the center of the battle. "Neat." She had a tendency to point out his bad habits, and as usual, she questioned his smoking. He looked at her, with the glowing stick in his mouth. "What, it's not like I'll get cancer." He scoffed, it was a crude joke, really. One that he had punched someone else in the face for making. "Besides, they still my nerves. Speaking of which, you need any help?" Aro inquired. The joke he made was bad. Pretty bad. But Naomi made no comments about it, only giving a very small shrug of her shoulders, barely noticeable in fact. "This information will become very clear after we complete these objectives. No reason in hiding them." She tilted her head to the left side, raising her hands in a questioning manner after he offered his help. "Your help?" A pause. If he could look at her face, which gladly he couldn't, she was biting her lower lip while deliberating his question. Finally, she moved slightly closer and placed a firm palm on his shoulder, in a friendly manner. "Aroshima-kun, why don't you come with me? I'm not saying this as a recruiter would say to a possible recruit, but as your cousin. You are a capable shinobi and you work very hard for whatever you need, I don't want to see you being an expendable shinobi within the Confederation's ranks and neither another pointless nin without an objetive to trace." The grip on his shoulder became slightly tighter. "Always so stoic." He scoffed, flashing a grin. She went on a spiel about how he shouldn't let himself be used by the Confederation, that he wouldn't let himself go down in history as just another man who did what he was told. But he wasn't really having that, neither side of it, really ."Truth be told. I'm not going to let myself be used by anyone. The Confederation is corrupt, everyone knows that, so I want to help." Aro spoke, exhaling the smoke while moving the cigarette away from his lips, aiming his face away from his cousin, to avoid her getting smoke on her. Naomi removed her hand from his shoulder, clasping her hands together behind her. Her eyes widened slightly; her clone had just dismissed itself and instantly, she absorbed all the information it had gathered until now. Pleasant information, to say the least, but she didn't share it with Aroshima just yet, instead, she turned to him, her eyes questioning behind that mask. "So, how then, do you plan on helping?" A question was simple enough. By now, the commander had been executed in public. The Red Sages were ordered to retreat, which many already did or were in the process of. Naomi feared a huge battle could erupt, as she could see a known member amongst the Red Sages getting himself ready to fight; Katsuko, and a general or something of the sort making.. it's first move. That cat-thing, Naomi never knew what it was, but it possessed power. Aro could see her twitch a bit, as he assumed her shadow clone had just fed her necessary information, he wouldn't lie and say that he wasn't curious, because he was. But he also knew that he would be told in a matter of time, that was how things worked. Either by Naomi, or by someone else. Asked how to help, Aro was stunned for a second, he hadn't actually thought of that. He just assumed she needed something from him. Grinning, he responded. "Not sure, wherever I can, really. I have a lot of contacts on both sides of the conflict. Just know, Naomi, I won't kill anyone." His words were warm originally, but when talking about taking someone's life, his voice grew colder than ice. He wasn't going to take the life of a friend - even if they happened to be on the wrong side of the conflict in this civil war in the making. When he told her that he wouldn't kill anyone, Naomi's eyes closed, for only but a few seconds - but more than enough for him to notice. She recalled a scene from the back of her mind, but she was quick to shove those thoughts away. "Sometimes, killing is inevitable. But I pray that you won't ever encounter such situation." Well, her voice remained cold throughout this entire conversation. It has been this way since forever. "Ah. The Red Sages are retreating, which means I have to, as well. Can't risk to loiter around for too long and get caught by the Confederation." With that, the red-clad masked shinobi briefly stared at the man besides her, before she left. It looked as if she had simply teleported, but she had just moved at an immensively fast speed. Other red sages were also retreating, all at the same time; the order was clear, after all. The task was complete. Naomi just wondered what would be of her cousin, Aroshima. With that sort of 'life-rule' of never killing anyone... He would eventually end up killed, backstabbed by someone who's life he previously spared. It was just a matter of time. A sigh. She partly wished that he was following her and partly didn't. Oh well.	Nero's Compendium! "Pillars are what support a structure, but if one ever crumbles, all of them will fall.” Yudai is a tall and somewhat imposing young man, standing at 5'8" \| 1,78m. His physique appears to be lean, but on closer inspection one could notice that he's in fact fit, with subtle musculature definition everywhere on his body. His hair is a dark brown color and often unkempt, as if he didn't care at all about the way it looks - this is slightly contradicting to the fact that his ears are pierced, which possibly proves that the boy does cares about his appearance. His pale blue eyes constantly flicker from point to point, rarely focusing on something for too long - some note that he always looks distant, as if not paying any attention to his surroudings. The Kanji on his clothes are 影山 (Kageyama, his family name). Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Every aspect of Yudai, at least externally and from his appearance itself, seems distant. His gaze is a constant reminder of this, given the way it roams the whole time, briefly pausing on his surroundings before he takes interest in something else again. Even when Yudai is directly talking to someone, he avoids eye-contact entirely and if someone even tries to stare at him or look directly at his eyes for too long, he'll become rapidly nervous and anxious and might even avoid the person in question for a while. Otherwise, Yudai is relaxed, but extremely observant. His mind is constantly noticing what is actually happening around him and thus, while others might see him as distracted and distant, he's the opposite. He finds his own life rather boring the majority of time which prompts him to search for enthusiasm on other things out on the world. He's also easily interested in hearing stories from others, or even simply listening others talk about their own life. He has his own ambitions of becoming a highly respected political figure or leader, one day. But on the way the world is currently, he shoved such ambitions away and for now, he's only focused on strengthening himself. 【History】 Yudai's birth came from the love between Reiko and Kohaku - sadly, however, Reiko died due to complications at his birth. While the expected outcome was his father to put the blame on him and give Yudai the worst life ever, in order for this story to follow the traditional hero backstory guide, the opposite happened. Kohaku Kageyama was a hard-working man. He used to be a powerful shinobi many years ago, but lost his left eye and his right hand was completely destroyed in the same battle, thus leaving him unapt for battle for the rest of life. The loss of his wife could've disgraced his life forever, but instead, he found new hope on his newborn child, Yudai - the name 'Yudai' itself, was to show the man's hope of a hero, not for the nation, not for the world, but a hero that would save Kohaku himself from utter depression. Which Yudai indeed did. As any other child, he was very, very curious about everything and from the day he began learning his first words, he'd frequently ask his father about everything. Even about the eyepatch the man wore on his left eye, about the bandages around the man's right hand - and when the man began explaining about shinobi, about the wars.. Well, Yudai only became more interested in it altogether. Often, Yudai and Kohaku spent hours chatting about whatever, the subject leaped from how eggs were produced to why the sky was blue. As he matured, reaching the age of eleven, Yudai slowly began developing a strange desire to be someone who had a high position. Power. He wanted to be esteemed in a way that people would admire and respect because of his achievements in life. Of course, it was too soon to think about that, and Yudai was a mere child with an ambition bigger than himself. For now, the boy focused on studying and training. He had taken an immense interest in shinobi. In fact, he spent more time reading about chakra, taijutsu and ninjutsu than he spent studying the school's subjects, which was the reason he almost failed the year. His father aided him when he could, he gave his son clear training routines and made him follow them strictly. He felt immense pride in his son following the same steps as him, while the same time, was divided with the fear that he could end suffering the consequences of a war - like the man himself did. But, the thoughts that peace had finally settled in eased that fear. When Yudai graduated, at the age of 14, he knew exactly that his dream of becoming someone with high power was indeed his true ambition. You see, he received quite the praise for being a dedicated student - even if he almost failed in the past year, he dedicated himself the most to studying this one and got amazing grades, impressing his teachers and father. When they openly talked about him and his dedication, his heart pouded inside his chest with what he could only understand as recognition. Time eventually passed, Yudai grew into a fine - and very attractive - young man. He noticed that women around started to take interest in him, perhaps it was the pale blue eyes, but honestly, he didn't care all that much. Yudai did had quite a few cases with one or another girl here and there, but it never blossomed into a true relationship, he was that type of guy. In fact, the older Yudai got, the more he found his life... boring. It wasn't no one's fault, truly. It was just that his ambition - it was something that seemed far away from his reach, impossible - it was as if he could fight his whole life for it and yet, he'd never taste it. Finally, Yudai finished highschool. It was the same year that he also offically graduated to a chunin rank shinobi - and the year he finally took interest in his own life, even if only just a little. It all started with one group... the Red Sages. Initially, Yudai was very confused about his choices, when he heard about the group, many wrong ideas filled his mind. But, then, he shoved them away - for he knew in the end, that it was for his own best. You see, the Confederation might've been good for the countries, but it left no option for those who wanted to be something bigger or greater. They had nothing for those who wanted... recognition. In the opposite spectrum, the Red Sages were everything; he knew from the start that if he put his power, his will and his life onto it, like an investment, he'd receive what he wanted in return. He heard it - could be rumors indeed, but they were fulfilling rumors of rebels seeking something greater than an illusionary peace. 【Family ties】 Kageyama is an old and traditional family. The majority of it's members were shinobi, with exceptions. They are divided, with a minor part living in Iwagakure and a larger part living in Konohagakure. In Konohagakure, Kageyama were known for running a restaurant which goes by the name of Yama-Yama. Kohaku \| Father \| 38, Iwagakure, retired veteran Reiko \| Mother \| 34, N/A, deceased Shou \| Uncle \| 30, Konohagakure, cook Rei \| Aunt \| 28, Konohagakure, cook Sora \| Cousin \| 17, Konohagakure, attendant Rin \| Cousin \| 16, Konohagakure, waitress/chunin 【Dreams and fears】 Vague dreams that are rather difficult to understand, Yudai truly holds true to his desire of reaching a high position within society, one day. Not only that, he also dreams of becoming an extremely powerful shinobi, in order to ease his own path towards greatness. He fears of not being recognized, or being 'just someone else' - a faceless individual who has nothing, no respect, glory of power. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Yudai is balanced between taijutsu and ninjutsu, rarely resorting to weapons or ranged weapons. He's very intelligent and tactical in his decisions, as if he had read everything there was to read regarding shinobi (which he probably did in his early life). See, while he's quite strong in hand-to-hand combat, Yudai's first choice is to always analyze his opponent. He appears to be MUCH more experienced and prepared than he truly is due to the manner he keeps himself extremely calm, in any situation. To him, a battle is nothing too different from his daily struggle with life itself. Normally, his Doton ninjutsu is used as a defensive manner, instead of offensively. Thus, he'll always avoid ranged assaults with it. Sometimes, he'll use it offensively as nintaijutsu, but only if he finds a true opening to do so. What Yudai lacks is withstanding power. He might have defensive methods with Doton, but he can't take many hits - neither last too long in a battle. His stamina isn't the greatest, nor is his chakra pool; in most battles, he either needs to drop his foes quickly, or avoid in a way or another fighting after he begins tiring. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: N/A Description: Yudai does not possess a kekkei genkai. Strengths: N/A Weaknesses: N/A 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: -- B rank techniques: Doton - Doryūheki Doton - Iwayado Kuzushi C rank techniques: Doton - Moguragakure no Jutsu D-E rank techniques: Doton - Doryū Taiga Doton - Doryūdan Doton - Shinjū Zanshu no Jutsu 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Doton - Kotai no Hakai Rank: A Range: Short/Self - hand to hand range. Description: This powerful technique developed by Yudai himself allows him to concentrate his doton chakra onto his hands and arms, coating them with a solid earthly surface. This requires minor constante chakra usage, but it's not very taxing in the long run. What taxes Yudai's chakra sources, however, is the uses this 'chakra armor' has. When used offensively, Yudai can promptly force earthly spikes to surge from anywhere on his arms - fingers, hands, elbows, shoulders; thus, he make turn what would be an easily readed attack onto an unexpected one. Additionally, this also has defensive uses, meaning that when under assault, Yudai can place his arms together and create a defensive shield that protects him from assasults. This defense is powerful enough to withstand some ninjutsu (especially katon), but is ineffective against futon and raiton. The chakra coating can last for a long time if nor the offensive or defensive effects are used, but whenever Yudai chooses to use them, he'll be drained very quickly. Jutsu name: Doton - Jishin Rank: B Range: Long - a large circular area around Yudai (35m roughly) Description: Yudai does the following handseals: Bird, Dog, Ram, Rat. Then, he leans down and slams both of his hands at the ground, causing a large area around him to erupt onto a shattering earthquake, those standing around him will find it impossible to stand without falling - and falling, means taking huge damage as the doton chakra breaks the earth apart and makes them wildly throw about. The center, where Yudai stands, is completley unaffected. This technique might sound powerful and it indeed is, if used in the center of a village for example, he could likely destroy whole buildings easily --- but he'd be killed before major damage was caused, so this is just an example. Otherwise, agile shinobi who can leap and move far away from the area will easily avoid it. If Yudai is attacked or distracted, it will stop as well. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Can be a term, i.e 'kunai' or it can be a self given name, i.e 'Revered Razor'. Weapon, tool or object type: What type of weapon, tool or object is this? Sword, axe, kunai, knife, blade, tanto. Omit if the weapon, tool or object name already designates this. Description: Describe the weapon, tool or objects appearance, and describe it's potentials and weaknesses. tl;dr how powerful is it and what does it look like. Be reasonable. “I hate... ... No, seriously. I can't stand anything that tastes too sweet. It's.. uhng. Bad.” Kaori has an average height and weight, standing at 5'5" and 127lbs, she also has a slender figure with only slightly curves, though one might notice that she was rather wide hips - from likely training and improving her own body. Kaori has a round face, with large eyes, a delicate and small nose and thin lips. Her jet black hair falls well past her shoulders and is often groomed, kept well clean and it even smells nicely; though there are always a few wild strands here and there. She dresses rather simply, keeping a black and grey theme in her attire. She wears a high-collared black shirt, with a short grey jacket with the Uchiha's clan symbol on it's back, a pair of fingerless black gloves and black shorts, together with a pair of knee-high black boots with metallic platings on their nose.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Kaori is usually seen as a cheerful young girl who's still inexperienced to the world's hardships, but that's simply because of her manner of expressing herself; she's kind, even gentle to certain extent and isn't fond of conflicts, always preferring peaceful manners unless using force is an absolute must. That's not to say she's scared of fighting though, Kaori simply adores friendly spars and testing her own abilities- otherwise, she wouldn't ever take training as serious as she does. Despite her cheerful nature, Kaori is not exactly a social butterfly. See, she believes that being positive and keeping her spirit high is helpful to herself and to others in a way. However, it's very rare for Kaori to approach someone and talk openly, rather, she's quite timid and avoids talking unless she's talked to first and usually, being talked to makes her very happy. When it comes to her clan, the Uchiha, Kaori takes high pride in them. In fact, she believes herself superior but doesn't voices it - unless she gets too excited in a battle, to notice. She views the Sharingan as a gift, but only uses it in battle when she clearly needs it, given she has this slight fear of overusing or overshowing her doujutsu, especially in consideration with the events of the past that has led others to develop a distrust towards the sharingan. This same distrust, is what makes Kaori very cautious about talking to strangers, after all, there is still some prejudice against the sharingan specifically, given the events of the past, given the way things are - given the Confederation's actions against some of Kaori's brethren. Lastly, Kaori is very comprehensible and whenever she relates to someone, she tends to become very interested in developing a friendship. She has no interest in any sort of romantic interaction, after all, she's pretty sure she's not the one to gather that sort of interest, anyway. 【History】 Kaori's early life has been quite different than the usual. See, both her mother and her father are shinobi - both also very strict in the sense of pointing Kaori in the same direction as them: Which meant she was trained from the day she could walk. Kaori had two siblings, both boys, one older by a few years and the other, two years older than her. Their names were Kichirou and Keiji, respectively. Kichirou was an arrogant man, see, he had the Sharingan and that very motive led him to be, simply put, an asshole towards mostly everyone. Filled with pride beyond limit, he thought of himself as utterly superior - being a prodigy didn't help. Kichirou was way above the average when it came to shinobi, with only eleven years, he achieved the feat of developing a second chakra nature which was the reason he was then hailed as a genius. Kaori was only six when this happened, while Keiji was eight - he had just entered school. Usually, both trained together but Keiji was too focused at school, he had a peculiar desire of being an inventor or scientist - Kaori could never understand clearly - that draws him away from the training fields. This was frowned upon by her parents, more specifically her father. The man had this strange... desire to blindly follow the Confederation, claiming that the Uchiha had to be a strong clan in order to prove and... redeem themselves. Kaori would only understand that years later. On a cold night, a few days before Kaori's 7th birthday, a scene marked her forever. Through her window, she saw both her father and Keiji outside, having what seemed to be a small discussion. The boy held some books under his arms and was apparently refusing a 'gift' that Kaori's father was offering him - a katana. From the little Kaori could understand, Keiji tried to explain to their father that he wasn't interested in becoming a shinobi and that he believed there were other ways to help and be useful; in the end, all she could remember was Keiji being severely beaten by their own father while all she could do was watching. This forever changed the way she saw her father. War changes someone, truly. That was what had happened with Kaori's father, he was changed, molded by war. Perhaps he believed that it would happen again and wanted his offsprings to be prepared, perhaps it was something else, perhaps he was simply put, insane. Kaori never quite understand his fixation with training and becoming stronger, but what she could understand is that her oldest brother wasn't the only gifted Uchiha of this family, for that night, Kaori's anger and fear evoked a power hidden within her; she awakened her Sharingan. However, she never told her father. Instead, that motivated her to train more. It wasn't to please the man, no, it was to fulfill herself. Her older brother could be as arrogant as she wanted, but Keiji was always there for her, and she, for him. The boy returned to train with Kaori and for the first time in all these eleven years, she had beaten him - and very easily, too. The excitement and buildup of this whole spar awarded Kaori with a second tomoe in her left eye and brought immense surprise to Keiji, but he promised to never tell anyone. During school, all Kaori thought was when it'd end so she could return to her training; she wasn't a bright student, honestly, but Keiji who was seriously smart helped her a lot. When she was close to turning 12, her oldest brother was found dead within the village's borders. This utterly crushed the family, but specifically, Kaori's father entered a state of depression. He treated the whole family as if it was their fault and practically locked himself in his room for a whole year, very rarely getting out. During this time, Kaori had improved a lot. By now, she had developed three tomoes on her left eye, and two on her right eye. Her reaction time, reflexes and precision had seen a jump, and so had her genjutsu and ninjutsu. Her mother, a genjutsu specialist, taught her a few things which aided her. Keiji had been awarded a prize of best student of the year or something akin to that which Kaori never knew roughly in the same date Kaori's sharingan fully matured. The following years went by swiftly, Kaori trained and improved, developing jutsu of her own - while her older brother started working as a project analyst or something of the sort, within the Confederate. She received a pleasant gift from him on her sixteen birthday: A sword, Keiji guaranteed her that this prototype was much more resistant and that wouldn't break or melt easily as the many other swords Kaori had destroyed until now. He also mentioned that the sword was specifically made to withstand katon chakra - and lastly, he made Kaori an offer. To join the Confederate, given her potential as a shinobi. She thought for a while, truth be spoken she was quite afraid of becoming as crazy as her father, but the girl ended up giving a wild smile and agreeing with him. 【Family ties】 As an Uchiha, Kaori'll have ties with mostly any Uchiha, period. But they're all pretty vague apart from her own family itself. Takeshi Uchiha \| Father \| 53, Konohagakure, ex-Veteran, temporarily retired-confederate jounin Takeshi retired due to his trauma after his older son's death, he has yet to recover. Michiko Uchiha \| Mother \| 44, Konohagakure, shinobi - genjutsu specialist Kichirou Uchiha \| Brother \| 26, Konohagakure, deceased Keiji Uchiha \| Middle-Brother \| 18, Konohagakure, confederate project analyst 【Dreams and fears】 Kaori has yet to find true dreams and ambitions to follow. She's young and still looking for something to, well, follow. Maybe an ideal. Honestly, her fears are very vague, as well. She partially fears her own father, but her biggest fear is losing her brother Keiji, who has been the closest person to her since ever. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Kaori focuses on using Fire Release to dispel of her foes, burning them down, together with very efficient genjutsu provided by her Sharingan. She's experienced in hand to hand, but it's easy to tell her taijutsu is her weaker side - even with the added aid from the Sharingan abilities provide her. While Taijutsu is a weak spot, her Kenjutsu is noticeably better, as her movements with a sword are clearly trained and precise, especially given she can use her blade together with fire release in order to increase it's efficiency. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Sharingan Description: The Sharingan (写輪眼, Literally meaning: Copy Wheel Eye, Meaning (Viz): Mirror Wheel Eye) is the dōjutsu kekkei genkai of the Uchiha clan that appears selectively among its members. It is regarded as one of the Three Great Dōjutsu (三大瞳術, San Daidōjutsu, Literally meaning: Three Great Eye Techniques), the others being the Byakugan and the Rinnegan. Strengths: Kaori's Sharingan is fully matured, meaning that it has three tomoes on each eye. This means that when active, Kaori is granted both abilities; the Eye of Insight, giving her the ability to see chakra in different colors in order to distinguish composition and source, an incredibly clarity of perception, meaning that she can see even very fast attacks with some ease and she's capable of minimum predictive abilities, anticipating an opponent's next move or attack and lastly, copy jutsu - but only those she has the ability and knowledge to replicate. Secondly, she's granted the "Eye of Hypnotism", which means Kaori can perform what is generically called Genjutsu: Sharingan. While there are various manifestations and purposes of the ability, the better known one is to, through eye contact, suggest thoughts and actions to a target, coercing them to divulge information or act in a particular way, potentially without the target's awareness. In extreme cases, the Sharingan user can take complete control of the target's body, forcing them to do exactly as the controller wishes; this control is visually indicated by the Sharingan's design appearing in the target's eye. Kaori's ability with this is actually pretty good, a momentarily eye-contact with her Sharingan active is enough to put her opponent in a dangerous genjutsu. Weaknesses: The Sharingan is a worldly known Dojutsu, thus, everyone should be able to recognize it instantly. This makes the Genjutsu very hard to apply, as all the opponent needs to do, is avoid eye-contact. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: N/A B rank techniques: Katon: Gōka Mekkyaku Katon: Haisekishō C rank techniques: Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu D-E rank techniques: Genjutsu: Sharingan While Kaori is skilled to certain extent, she has yet to achieve a grand power-level with genjutsu used through her sharingan. In a brief eye contact, she can merely put her opponent(s) in a simpler genjutsu, that requires little to no effort to break them (if they know how to do so). If there is prolonged eye contact however, she'll be able to cast greater genjutsu. 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Ken Katai (Fire Sword) Rank: C~A Range: Self / Sword's Range Description: Kaori flows an intense blazing chakra through her sword's blade, coating the whole blade with it. The more chakra she uses, the more noticeable it gets given the sword's blade begins turning a slight shade of red - until reaching the maximum, a deep crimson color. The amount of chakra also changes the effects and their strength. If Kaori only uses a minor amount of chakra (C rank), the blade's cutting power increases slightly, the heat makes leave dents whenever it strikes another simple sword or iron object, if in contact with skin, it burn while it cuts. If moderate chakra is applied (B rank) her sword becomes denser and can cut through other swords of average material with some force applied. If it cuts, it will instantly seal the wound - preventing blood, but causing immense pain. With the maximum Kaori can achieve (A rank), the sword's heat raises it's potency to where it could easily cut through iron and even steel, as well as bones with ease. This technique, if applied on an average sword, would only last a few seconds at maximum potency due to how the chakra would also melt the blade it was applied to, itself, but Kaori can keep this technique up for as long as her chakra allows due to her own blade, which would be two to three hours with C rank, one to two hours at B rank, and only two minutes when it achieves the maximum heat (2~3 posts, depending on the time ICly). Jutsu name: Genjutsu: Burning Hell Rank: B Range: Medium Description: Kaori does the required handseals (Tiger, boar, dragon) while she takes a deep breath, then, she exhales the air in the form of a strange smoke that will divide and proceed to form a circle around a small area, before igniting ablaze. This fire, by itself, is harmless. However, if an enemy feels the fire's heat, they'll slowly fall onto a genjutsu prepared by Kaori together with this technique. The heat will increase even if they move away from the flames and they'll eventually increase to the point where it's unbearable, the opponent might try to take their clothes off, throw water onto their body, drink water - no matter, it will never work and the heat will only increase, eventually they'll feel as if every drop of water in their body has been dried and pass out, if the genjutsu is not broken. 【Weaponry, tools and objects】 Weapon, tool or object name: Hinõken Weapon, tool or object type: A katana. Description: Hikoken looks like a simple katana, with a red, beautiful handle. The sword is of excellent craft and it's blade is chakra resistant, allowing the wielder to flow their chakra through it - the blade is specifically repective to katon chakra, which is the reason it was given to Kaori. “Let's end this quickly.” As usual to Uzumaki, Naomi's hair is a crimson red, it's short - with two bangs framing her face and the back is spiky, styled per her own taste. She wears simple silver earrings on each ear and a thin black eyeliner, meaning that she seemingly cares about her outward appearance. Her eyes are a vivid green, intense and large, usually her most prominent trait when one looks directly at her face. She's always wearing a scarf around her neck, the color varies but she usually sports a mix of red, green, yellow and dark orange scarves. Naomi wears a sleeveless dark gray jacket with a simple light gray blouse underneath, a pair of red fingerless gloves that reach her elbows (the seals of her Kuchiyose: Raikō Kenka are placed on the gloves) and slate gray tight pants that are tucked onto a pair of black boots. Notably, the only visible color on the woman's figure is her scarf and her hair. Her figure is slender yet curvaceous, with notable curves adorning her body. Some satchels are seen; one wrapped around her left thigh, another on her right shoulder and a larger one on the right side of her waist. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Naomi is usually seen as arrogant and stuck up due to her cold demeanor and for being otherwise cool-headed. Thing is, she's not arrogant or stuck up, she simply takes being a shinobi as her life, in and out of a mission or task; she's focused, always, and eliminates any emotion that could possibly disrupt her performance. Considered cruel by those who are more sensitive than her, Naomi takes the death of comrades lightly, analyzing it often with 'the enemy was a better shinobi than him/her', this is not entirely true though, Naomi feels the death of a comrade as anyone else capable of feeling would, she just keeps her suffering to herself and hides it entirely. Being so cold and closed off emotionally, it's hard to befriend anyone - not that she wants to, anyway. Naomi doesn't cares about forming bonds with others, surely there has been an increasing trend of forming bonds within the younger shinobi, but she denies them completely. She also doesn't care about hostility, insults or whatever else, she ignores them completely and even when provoked, she keeps the same stoic expression she always has. In battle is where her emotions flow with intensity above her usual: The adrenaline makes so whenever she's hit, she'll smirk or grin smugly, whenever she hits something, you'll see the same smirk but much broader than before. The more fast paced a battle is, the more she'll enjoy it thoroughly and the more she'll dedicate to the fight. Still, it's very rare for her to exchange words with the opposing shinobi, given her self-control that's dominant even above the adrenaline. Talk about dedication, Naomi is very dedicated to her job as a shinobi - and well, to everything else. As one of her philosophies in life, which is to do everything you do the best way you can, she truly dedicates herself entirely whenever she needs to do something and despises those who's nature is being lazy and avoid hard-work. She also tends to despise those who are gifted with power that requires no true work whatsoever; an example would be those who possess the well known dojutsu (Sharingan or Byakugan). This is a bit hypocritical given she's gifted with the Uzumaki's clan natural strong lifeforce and chakra resources. She sympatizes the most with individuals who are similarly hard-working and dedicate themselves in something and may be willing to interact with them, but forming any close bond is practically impossible as of now. Commonly, Naomi spends a good portion of her day training and improving herself. Distracting her from that usually ends with a huff or a sigh, or any minor sign of annoyance that she'll allow herself to do. Still, she won't scold anyone over anything, ever - she's calm and collected, after all, not arrogant and stuck up. She's actually pretty fine with aiding others if they need so (with training or whatever else), even. She may be a bit self-centered and cold, emotionally, but she's not a psycho who's only emotion ever is adrenaline while fighting. To certain extent, Naomi is capable of being friendly, it all depends the mannerisms of whoever she talks or interacts with. Highly concerned with herself, Naomi fears death above everything else, despite her otherwise cold demeanor and the way she enjoys fighting. When an opponent is clearly overwhelming and above her skill level, she'll... fear them. Of course, trained to hide her emotions, she won't show it at all. This extends itself to allies, out of all the things she's ashamed about herself, the fact that she couldn't possibly put her life in risk in order to save another's is her 'biggest shame'. 【History】 Two Years ago. Naomi's eyes briefly flutter closed, reopening to look down at her extended right palm, a hitai-ate with Konohagakure's symbol resting over it, together with blood that was slowly being washed away by the rain. The girl looks up at the sky, raindrops mixing themselves with the tears that silently made their way down her cheeks. She closed her eyes again. Next to her, was a corpse - a female, with a pale white hair, she was clearly dead - with some blood under her, slowly mixing itself with the water from the intense rain. Suddenly, the kunoichi falls onto her knees, she's completely wet due to the rain at this point. Her palms rest against the ground, pressing the hitai-ate firmly against it. She sobs quietly, but only for a moment before taking a deep breath to recompose herself. "Is this what I'm fighting for? This is what the Confederation has to offer me? THIS IS PEACE?!" With her left hand, Naomi punches the ground with all the force she could muster in her current state. It does nothing. "That's the very least the Confederation will offer you, my dear." A mysterious voice. Masculine. Naomi instantly stood up and held a kunai up, looking around her in an attempt to find it's source. She couldn't see anyone, at all. "We, the Red Sages, we only retaliate against the Confederation's attempt to CRUSH us time and time again. We provoked a war, but only to reclaim what's rightfully ours." The voice, this time, was directly behind her. When she turned, ready to strike the kunai onto the man, he had already disappeared, or so it seemed. He was so fast, that she couldn't keep up with his movements despite how close he was. When she turned, he grabbed her wrist and twisted it back, forcing her to drop the kunai. At this moment, Naomi knew that whoever this man was, he was powerful. Her eyes widened and her breath fastened, she was fearing the outcome of this: Her death. "Do you realize? My only desire was to explain you why your friend lies dead at your feet. Why this system, this PEACE is nothing but a bold lie, explicitly shoved down the throats of all brain dead imbeciles that follow the confederation's tyranny out of nothing but FEAR." Suddenly, the man threw her hand back, grabbed her by both shoulders and shoved her down, forcefully throwing the girl onto the ground. As she looked up, directly into his eyes, he smirked. Those eyes... The Sharingan of the Uchiha, most certainly. And then, she feel in a genjutsu; not to torture, not to destroy her. It was a different genjutsu, that Naomi had never experienced. She was seeing through his eyes - it all, whenever it was a lie, it was vivid and felt real. It... was real. And she could hear his voice in the back of her mind, explaining in detail what she was seeing. The struggle and suffering you are seeing, it's product of the Confederation's corruption. Of it's failed systems, of it's members extravagance and luxurious life. While he explained, she saw it all. Robbers risking their life for a loaf of bread, farmers struggling with what little they had... Then, acts of tyranny; overwhelming attacks from masses of Confederation shinobi against small rebel camps and not only that, they attacked shinobi and average folks alike, even farmers that were simply next to the rebel's camps, all were destroyed, nearly instantly. Some rebels rushed to defend themselves, but were quickly put down; there was a prominent figure that stood out in the Confederate's forces, someone Naomi knew. Then, darkness. Everything became dark. (You may close the rainymood now, if you were so kind to keep it open in order to increase immersion) When she woke up, she was in a crude basement of sorts. Crude, but functional. Many red-sage shinobi moved from a place to another, some carried wooden crates, others were simply chatting about. When she sat up, she was approached by the same figure as before: he looked far less intimidating. There was some movement, people stood up and moved away - soon, she was left alone with him. And then, the offer was made; to join them, or be set free. Strange, weren't they carnage-seeking devils? The man naturally explained their whole cause. In the end, after everything she had seen through the previous genjutsu, she couldn't refuse. Someone had to stop the Confederation. At first, it was difficult taking such an enormous step that changed completely her life - and the majority of the red sages distrusted her presence as a whole, being previously sided with the Confederation. But, on her first missions, minor or not, as a red sage, she showed that she had indeed placed her loyalty with them. After being showed the truth through such a brutal manner, it was difficult not to. As a side note, this is only the chapter which explains how Naomi switched sides. She's currently secretive about being a part of the Red Sages, nonetheless. 【Family ties】 Naomi's family was healthy until the death of her mother, which threw her father in an enraged state; he then became increasingly harder to deal with. The man took his own life when Naomi was seven, that changed her forever. Aika Uzumaki \| Mother \| 39, Konohagakure, deceased at the age of 26 Itama Uzumaki \| Father \| 42, Konohagakure, took his own life at the age of 30 【Dreams and fears】 Naomi dreams of one day overcoming her biggest fear, which is dying currently and she wants to find a way to stop feeling fear as a whole, knowing that such emotion is a result of cowardness. Note that overcoming death is not, well, dying. She just knows that clinging so much to her own life as a shinobi is rather embarassing. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 With an enhanced life-force and vast chakra resource, Naomi is certainly not above keeping a constant offensive on her foes, only falling defensive if she's overwhelmed or outnumbered. Her speed, agility, flexibility and reflexes are impressive. She has trained herself to have some great precision with her attacks, as well. From a medium distance, she's dangerous due to her shurikenjutsu prowess and in close-combat, she's a force to be reckoned with. Long distance, she falls short due to the drop in effectiveness of her shurikenjutsu. She also lacks effective defensive mechanisms, relying on dodging and avoiding being hit to keep herself safe. Her endurance is solid, as any Uzumaki - so is her stamina. In drawn out fights against opponents of the same level as her, she might have advantage due to taking much longer to get tired. Due to her chakra being vast, she's capable of utilizing the Shadow Clone technique, often gaining an advantage on single fights. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu B rank techniques: Kage Bunshin no Jutsu Kuchiyose: Raikō Kenka C rank techniques: Kuchiyose no Jutsu D-E rank techniques: Kaifū no Jutsu Kawarimi no Jutsu Shunshin no Jutsu 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Raiton: Kaminari Yoroi (Lightning Release: Thunder Armor) Rank: B Range: Self Description: Naomi covers her body is lightning chakra, using the lightning to stimulate the her nervous system. By speeding up her neural synapses, she's able to react faster, and to push physical prowess to the absolute limit, allowing for tremendous raw speed. This, combined with Naomi's natural agility and reflexes, turns her into a fearsome opponent while active; it also enhances her lightning release techniques, allowing her to perform nintaijutsu moves and react to things that she otherwise wouldn't be able to. The chakra usage is not as intense as it looks on Naomi, given her vast chakra resources, meaning that she can keep this technique up for long periods of time. Wind techniques can shut the technique down, even if temporarily. This techniques does not increase Naomi's raw strength, only her speed and reflexes. Jutsu name: Raiton: Keikai Denka (Lightning Release: Nimble Charge) Rank: C Range: Close Description: Lightning Chakra is focused on Naomi's arms and shoulders, she'll dash recklessly towards a foe with immense speed produced by the previously activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode and attempt to slam them with her shoulder. This attack is simple all in all, but it's effective given the speed Naomi travels from her current position to her foes' position. If it hits, the opponent takes both taijutsu damage and the electricity might shock them for extra, yet minor damage. It may also cause minor damage to Naomi's shoulder, too. Jutsu name: Raiton: Kaminari Shuriken (Lightning Release: Lightning Shuriken) Rank: C Range: Medium, long with less effectiveness Description: Naomi produces three handseals (boar, dragon, snake) before taking a number of shuriken onto her hands and channeling lightning chakra through them, after she throws they'll gain speed and piercing power, able to break through minor earth release defenses. If they hit someone, the opponent'll receive a much deeper wound than they would to an average shuriken, and electricity will shock their body internally, causing weaker shinobi to fall unconscious if they're hit by more than five or so. Stronger nin could easily resist this, though. Jutsu name: Raiton: Kiyomemasu (Lightning Release: Cleanse) Rank: E Range: Self Description: A simple technique that functions with the same intent as the use of Kai to liberate yourself from a genjutsu. The difference is that if Naomi notices herelf under a genjutsu, she can simply do a single handed seal, producing lightning chakra of her own that enters her body and, if need be, even travels to her brain's vessel network and eliminates any foreign chakra that is trapping her under a genjutsu. The difference between this and the average method of leaving genjutsu, is that this technique acts faster and only a single hand is needed, if she's paralysed or restrained. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Many, many shuriken. Weapon, tool or object type: Shuriken Description: They are shuriken, sealed and ready to use in a random basement. They're likely summoned when she touches her wrists, the end. Weapon, tool or object name: Some kunai. Weapon, tool or object type: A kunai. Description: Usually kept in the pouches she carries with herself. Useful kunai. Weapon, tool or object name: Explosive Tags Weapon, tool or object type: An explosive tag. Description: They're explosive tags, but she only carries a small number of them to avoid accidents. Kept in a pouch on her shoulder. Weapon, tool or object name: Wire strings Weapon, tool or object type: Wire. Strings. Description: Usually used in conjuction with shuriken for unpredictable effects.
51,149	1,381	56	1,306	383	Setsuko Most Mundane Character (Seriously) (Somewhere Around) Konohagakure Border The Hamajo Confederation - - Higoho practically screaming startled her as she was trying to make out some of the people he had pointed out earlier. "What in the world..." she said to herself as she somewhat regretted turning her head to see why the fellow Hyuga had yelled what he did. Behind her was also a silver-haired man who had looked to her in confusion as to how he should react to the situation, and in all honesty she had no idea either since she had rarely seen Higoho get riled up over himself? Whatever the reason being she simply shook her head, and walked to close the distance between herself and the other individual to strike up a conversation on this. After all, she had to make sure she wasn't in some sort of dream because these events were strange in its own way. As she did she noticed that the Higoho double had turned back to the person they were by being thrown back by the Mountain Crusher technique. Luckily, he wasn't hurt, but for Higoho to use a technique like that meant that he was angry enough to be dumb enough to use it in the first place. Not only that, but the guy seemed to be an ally just by the way he had gotten on all fours to apologize. At least thats what she thought he was doing. Either that or begging for mercy. "Hey," she said to the silver-haired guy to get his attention. "Between you and me, I've never seen him do that out of anger," Setsuko pointed to the fiasco that was going on. "So I'm as shocked as you are." "Though I should also point out that it'd be a good idea to gain some distance from this place because I just got some information that Yakoul is fighting." she then pointed behind her. "If you don't know who that is then it'd be best to never know." Not that she didn't know, but that was the first time she had actually seen the legendary General. Of course she heard things about his appearance from many people, but at some point their description of him got a little out of hand. She hoped it'd be her only time because the History books as well as the people forgot to mention that he had an animal fetish. At least, that's what she got from where she stood. It was obvious by the way he had dressed to look like some sort of cat, and that was horrifying in its own way. Just thinking about it made her shiver. "Seriously, you don't want to see that." she warned once more in case the silver-haired guy didn't believe her.	l0ck0n's Decent, Mundane yet badass because she's a Hyuga of a Character "Chains hold me hostage. The ransom? Death." Setsuko wears her headband traditionally on her forehead with wrapping under it, so in case the headband were to fall off the cursed seal of the Branch House would not show. Not only that, but she also leaves her bangs out of the headband, and has it on the left side while having the rest of her hair in a bun. Rarely does she ever leave her brown hair loose, but when she does the hair is roughly 17 inches long. She has two ear piercings, and wears black earrings. She wears a black scarf that she keeps on at all times, a sleeveless blouse that fits her perfectly, and arm sleeves that are cut to reveal her fingers. When it's could outside, or she's on a mission Setsuko wears a styled Haori under a worn-out Obi that a store manager gave her for less than it's original price. Because she's a cheap-stake. She wears the Obi even if she's not wearing the Haori to keep from showing her stomach since the blouse is cut 2 inches below the chest. For pants she wears light grey shorts that have loose, but small pockets. Underneath the shorts she wears thin leggings while finishing it off with the traditional Shinobi shoes. Her height is 5ft 5in, weighs 134lbs, and isn't thin whatsoever. Her build is more on the Mesomorph side what with her having some muscle on her bones yet she doesn't have too much muscle. Her face is longer than rounder, and she doesn't care if it gets a scrape or two. Even if Setsuko is into the decent fashion of a Shinobi she doesn't have too cute of a face being more rough around the edges making up for it with a small round nose, and light skin. Orchard of Mines Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Setsuko Hyūga 【Alias】 Nao 【Affiliation】 She is a shinobi to the Confederation, but isn't loyal to them. 【Age】 18 【Sex】 Female 【Sexuality】 Heterosexual 【Birthplace】 Konohagakure 【Bloodline】 Hyūga Clan 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Setsuko is nothing of the calm, cool, and collected type of Shinobi. She's quite short-tempered at times, and can be reckless either off the battle field or on it. Not only can she be reckless, but she can also be impulsive on the battlefield which tends to bring with it mistakes and such while not intending to do so. Even if she comes off quite strong, and well, rude to others she's actually soft-hearted, and is willing to strike up a conversation with anyone. Because she's willing to be social Setsuko is easygoing as well, and likes to crack a joke here and there without fully understanding that her jokes aren't as funny as she thinks they are. Despite taking most of her time to practice Setsuko likes to balance that out with being able to relax, and enjoy the smaller things in life like food. Food is her go-to thing to do as well as weapon shopping, and doesn't like to miss a moment of it. Even if Setsuko is easy going the battlefield excites her, and she likes to be the first one to enter it even if she hasn't gotten fully used to her fighting style since she doesn't always use the Gentle Fist. Because of this Setsuko likes to read different kinds of combat books to increase her knowledge, but seems to never finish one. Secretly, she likes to read romance books, and likes the idea of romance though she doesn't believe she'll ever find someone for herself because love in the real world to her doesn't exist. Setsuko doesn't easily trust people (males), and doesn't try to get too close to someone no matter if it's a possible friend, or a comrade. 【History】 Childhood - (0-6): Setsuko was born to a Hyūga Branch member for a mother, and a traitor Red Sage of a father. Her beginning years involved both her parents since her father at the time still made others believe he was someone else. Her mother had given up the Shinobi life at the young age of 20, and wanted to start a family. Even if she had put her ninja things away the Hyūga had still kept a close eye on her to see if her child would have the Kekkei Genkai. For a while her parents cared for her like any other parent would, and made sure she was as happy as any child should be in those years. At age 4 all of that would come to a halt. Sadly, she had been born with the Byakugan the Hyūga clan was waiting for, and was taken away from them to be given the cursed seal as well as be taken care of by the Branch House. Being a little girl she understood nothing, and would continue to understand nothing until years later. Right after she was taken her father had disappeared only to come back with a few members of the Red Sages. At night they would enter the Hyūga territory, and attempt to take back what was without knowing that she had already been given the cursed seal. The mission was unsuccessful, and the punishment was death for every single member including her father. Setsukos mother had been taken in under the accusation that she had been recruited by her father while they were together. Distraught, and furious her mother would become a shinobi once again to be able to get revenge on the rebel group who, in her theory, had used her to try to get the Byakugan for themselves. Through all of that Setsuko would stay, and train at the Branch house up to age 7 where she would then be sent to Ninja Academy. Base School Years - (6 to 10-14): While in the academy as well as in the care of the Branch house Setsuko only got to see her mother. She had no knowledge of her father, and at that she would not even be able to say his name. In the Academy she would get picked on by her strange eye color, and would pick fights herself since she was to take crap from no one. At one point she had met someone with a similar eye color as her who, come to find out later, was also a Hyūga. She would challenge him multiple times, but each time he'd turn the other way which made her angry. It was almost like he would make himself believe she never even existed. Not only that, but the bullies wouldn't touch him because of how strong he was, so she'd do what she could to prove that she could be as strong. Mostly to get the mean kids off of her back. Because that kept failing she decided to fight him head-on which ended in her losing horribly. Even if she had lost the bullying had calmed down since she had picked a fight with a strong kid, and would do her best to show the boy that she existed. High School Years - (10-14 to 14-18): Once she reached High School Setsuko would find out who her father was. Before she reached high school she was a determined little kid who would do anything to find him. Her mother had told her what had happened at age 13, or at least her version of it, and a year later would be killed on a classified mission. With her parents both gone Setsuko would train almost nonstop to help her deal with the emotions that came with her parents death. As Setsuko passed each grade she'd begin to question if what she was doing is right due to the fact that she had parents by the hands of the confederation no matter how one looks at it. In a sense she also felt that they had left her because of their own desires, so she decided to speak about neither of them from that day on since the only thing that came with their memory was pain. While in High School She would see the kid from time to time that beat her when they were little. She noticed that he was unusually strong yet didn't have the muscle for it which made her wonder what type of person he was. She had found out his name because he was quite the topics of discussion which was shocking to her, but had heard something different about it each time. At one point she had tried to strike up a conversation, but it ended badly; It didn't end in her getting beat up, but somehow the guy still managed to ignore her which, in her opinion, was time to call it quits. As graduation came her skills were better than average, but never as good as Higōhō Hyūga which would irritate her when she'd think about it. Not only that, but the Hamajo Confederation would monitor her in case she were to do something against them, and the Hyūga Main Branch would assure her that if she were to do anything out of the ordinary she would be killed. She was upset to know that what she wanted was not to be a Shinobi to the Hamajo Confederation yet to also know that she had no choice to. 【Family ties】 Setsuko at one point did have both parents, but now she lives alone in an apartment. Akane Hyūga \| Mother \| 23, Konohagakure, Shinobi to the confederation, deceased. Masao Akiyama \| Father \| 25, Red Sages, deceased. 【Dreams and fears】 Setsuko dreams of becoming a legendary Kunoichi despite her lack of talent. She hopes to one day become as amazing as the famed Neji Hyuga who was able to get past his fears, and become even stronger. Her main fear is to be abandoned once again by the people she loves/she is close to. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Setsuko doesn't use the Gentle Fist fighting style unless it is her last resort, or unless the squad leader demands it. The Kunoichi usually packs many different types of ninja weapons such as the exploding pouches, the Shuriken, the Windmill Shuriken (her favorite, and first resort), and the usual kunai. She usually uses these to fight with more often as well as close-combat fighting. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Byakugan Description: "The Byakugan is usually manifested as very distinctive eyes, characterized by their enlarged and featureless white/lavender irides with no visible pupils. While active, the pupils become more distinct and the veins near their temples bulge. The Byakugan gives the user a near 360º field of vision, except for one blind spot at the back of the neck above the first thoracic vertebra. The range of this vision varies between users and in fact can be improved with training." Strengths: Setsuko can reach a maximum range of 9 Kilometers. Weaknesses: At one point Setsuko trained for too long with the Byakugan to try, and master its abilities. Because she had trained nonstop with the Kekkei Genkai (Which is something no one is ever recommended to do) she has permanently strained her vision. The strain has handicapped her to where she may miss details while fighting. She refuses to wear specially made glasses for it. Not only that, but Setsuko doesn't know that the Byakugan has a blind spot. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Taijutsu Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms B rank techniques: Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Taijutsu Eight Trigrams Thirty Two Palms Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Taijutsu Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation : Setsuko can only hold this technique for a maximum of 10 seconds, and at that the technique is weak since it is something she was experimenting on while messing around with their ability to control the chakra better. Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Taijutsu Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms Guard : Like the Palm Rotation this technique is weak due to the fact that she is only able to use it as a defense. She cannot form her chakra into thin blades, so using it as a defense is her only option. C rank techniques: Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Ninjutsu Water Needle Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Taijutsu Gentle Fist Vacuum Palm D-E rank techniques: N/A 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Ninjutsu : Eight Trigrams Grid Trap Rank: C Range: This technique can stretch from the person using it to as far as 6 meters. At what range is this technique useful? You can measure this in 'long' 'medium' or 'short' but those are rather vague. If you wore depth, use a distance such as meters. Description: The jutsu uses the seals of the Tiger, Ox, Ram, and Bird. Essentialy it's like the Grid Palm technique where the user slams their hand on the ground creating a network of grids to the range they desire, but instead of inflicting pain on the victim the jutsu is used like a bear trap. Once someone, an ally or an opponent, steps into the grid network their foot/feet cannot be lifted back up, and they're stuck there as if glue is holding them to the ground. After that, the network quickly begins to slide up the victim restraining their movements little by little as if they're being tied up in rope. While the grid works its way up it sends pulses of chakra to the victims chakra pathway system not only making them feel uncomfortable, but also makes it a bit harder for the user to use jutsus due to the fact that their chakra pathways are being disrupted. The chakra pulses do no such damage a person, and if the victim can easily ignore the pinching sensation internally then getting out is no difficult task. To get out of the jutsu one simply has to focus a small amount of chakra to the bottom of their feet due to the fact that Setsuko doesn't apply much chakra to the jutsu, and because that small amount would cancel out the jutsu then the victim would be free. If they don't figure this out then the grid would slid its way up until the person is covered in the network, and then break into a million pieces as it fades into nothing. It takes about 5 seconds for the users chakra pathway to readjust itself, but no harm comes to the person. From start to finish the jutsu lasts for a maximum amount of 6 minutes, and does not warn Setsuko in any kind of way that someone fell for the trap. Once the trap is sealed to the ground it stays there, but because there's only a small amount of chakra put into it the jutsu fades after 3 minutes if no one has stepped in it. Setsuko mostly uses the jutsu to stall for time, as a distraction, and/or a trap. If she puts more chakra into the jutsu then it could possibly cause severe internal damage as the chakra pulses would become much stronger, but she never does to be able to use the jutsu often. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Description: In its folded state, all four arms of the shuriken are folded together. When fully unfolded the large shuriken can be thrown through the air. This is the first thing she makes sure to pack, and is her first resort in battle. Even if it's her first resort she doesn't unfold it unless she's willing to let it go (for the greater good) for the rest of the fight/battle since the shuriken isn't a boomerang that will come back to her after throwing it.
51,150	1,381	57	1,105	2,351	Mirai Yumiya Things just kept getting worse and worse. Mirai knew Yakoul was a strong person, he could definitely take on either of the Red Sage leaders or perhaps even both, but he kept screwing around with the two girls instead. Meanwhile the barrier had come down and rebels were hunting down the general they were supposed to be protecting. She wanted to voice her complaint to Yakoul, but she kept her mouth shut out of fear. Kanata didn't seem to have the same inhibitions, but one person testing a homicidal psychopath was more than enough in Mirai's book. But it seemed that they wouldn't be able to stand on the sidelines as spectators any longer. When Mirai looked over towards Katsuko again after he addressed them, she felt something was wrong. Something was wrong with his eyes and something was wrong with her body. Genjutsu? She quickly looked away, facing Kanata instead. The sinking feeling had vanished, but Mirai began to realize what happened. My chakra was just being used. I haven't even used any of it yet and I can feel that it isn't full anymore. Can he really take my chakra with just his eyes? How are we supposed to fight him now? Yakoul began moving forward now, which Mirai immediately noticed. How can the cat-man bear this? He's looking right at the guy. Is he insane? He'll lose before the fight even begins if his chakra is completely drained. Yet their fearless leader showed no signs of backing down. His erratic behavior was admirable, to a degree. Mirai found herself envious of his courage and confidence. But they still had to fight. The Red Sage's Lady Commander just stole the life of the general they were supposed to protect. They were trying to retreat, to flee. They had simply come into the city in a storm of blood and steel and now wish to leave as if nothing happened? It made Mirai feel not only helpless but angry. She almost didn't even notice Kanata introduce herself but snapped back to reality just in time. "Mirai," she introduced. She went to shake hands, as would be polite to do so, but stopped herself midway. Her real hand was holding a sword and it was her prosthetic that had reached forward. She quietly abandoned the idea, withdrawing her metal arm and focusing her attention forward again. Rather than looking at Katsuko she instead focused her gaze at the ground in front of his feet, near Yakoul. "I can use shuriken to distract him so Yakoul can get an advantage. But they seem to be... not fighting. I don't know if launching the first attack is wise when we already lost a general and another is standing face-to-face with one of the rebels..." The blue-haired girl looked back to Kanata. "D-d-... do you have any ideas?" It felt awkward to rely on someone new. Usually it was Aneko that came up with plans for Mirai, but that wasn't an option right now. She would have to rely on her own ability... but mostly on Kanata's ability. Katsuko Moto The red-haired man stood his ground after Seijo gave the command to attack. Unlike his boss, he didn't have any particular means for a ranged attack. And he wasn't about to jump into her attack to get a hit in on the silver-haired woman. At the same time, he wasn't going to leap towards Yakoul either. Could he defeat Yakoul? Yes. Could Yakoul defeat him? Also yes. He was confident and proud, but he wasn't about to throw caution into the wind. All he needed to do was keep Seijo alive and allow the Red Sages to complete their assassination. He wouldn't dance to the enemy's tune, they'd have to dance to his. But something began to bother Katsuko very quickly as events unfolded around him. What is this guy? he wondered. Most people look away after being confronted with his Kekkei Genkai. It was natural, as nobody wanted to be drained of their chakra. The two girls looked away, for example. But Yakoul didn't. He stared right back. And that made Katsuko uncomfortable. He knows exactly what I'm doing and doesn't care. And his chakra... it isn't human. I've never felt anything like this before. It's almost... intoxicating. But at the same time it feels... bad. His serious expression changed into a clear frown as Yakoul began to approach. Only the man was walking forward at a casual pace. He is goading me to lose ground. There is no way he would think that I can't annihilate him if he gets careless, yet he's pretending to be careless. His body tensed up as Yakoul drew close. It was only when he was just out of striking distance that he stopped. I can't read this guy. Katsuko remained silent as the Confederate general continued to spout vulgar nonsense. That was until he voiced that he would change his foe from Seijo to... some guy that Katsuko couldn't really remember the name of. It didn't matter who he selected, it was the gesture that was important. The meaning behind his action. He was playing around. "Oi," Katsuko finally spoke up, to get Yakoul's attention. "You're forgetting something very important: you aren't getting past me." Anyone spectating would feel the tension of two intimidating enemies facing each other down at an incredibly close range. "We have already won this battle. If you take another step forward it will be your last." I have no idea if he will try or not. This man, I think it's a man, reveals nothing of his thoughts. Maybe he doesn't even think. If he moves I'll have no choice but to fight, but he'll expect... a kick. A punch would be too obvious, a kick would be deceptive enough. If I want to end him in one blow, before he can get a chance to fight back, I'll have to outsmart him before over-powering him. Katsuko's mind began racing. Normally he would never have to think so much about how to fight. It was always natural, an instinct. He would follow his own flow and defeat everything in his path. But this enemy was different. The way it talked, the way it walked, the way it thought, they all fought against his instincts. He felt that his natural fighting style would lead to failure with Yakoul. That this was an opponent who could exploit his weaknesses. A battle of strength was his domain, but he knew that he would enter a battle of wits if the crazy cat bastard didn't heed his threat. Worst-case scenario: I just have to bide some time for Seijo to escape. I can get away by myself easy enough if I can avoid being wounded. There is only one threat to me here and he's standing in front of me. Just out of reach... The young man shifted slightly, putting more of his weight on his supporting leg rather than his forward one. He prepared to dodge, in the instance that the cat-man or any of his allies would try to attack. He didn't know of Yakoul's abilities or style, but he hoped it went the other way as well. That would be the only way his plan could work.	j8cob's Characters of Moderate Interest and Adequate Writing “Anything for the greater good; there is no measure too extreme.” A man of average height and athletic build, Ryuunosuke would barely stand out in a crowd if it wasn't for his aura and his wardrobe.

There are many descriptions of Ryuunosuke's character that all depend on who you ask. To some he is a man of great respect, a legendary hero that has fought for his ideals and won. To others he is an opportunist and a fiend, an infamous villain that took power through bloodshed. The truth is these descriptions are all of the same man and they are all accurate. Though noble in presence he justifies all his actions as a means to an end. He truly believes he is saving the world and unifying all the people, and he isn't afraid to slaughter anyone that gets in his way of that vision. All who oppose him are an evil that must be destroyed. He is all that is good and just, so any enemy is naturally evil and irredeemable. The greater good, to Ryuunosuke, is something worth reaching even if he has to climb a mountain of bodies to achieve it. 【History】 The origin of the man named Ryuunosuke Hamajō is shrouded in mystery. There are no documents or eye-witness accounts, he seems to have simply appeared fifteen years ago as a mature and worldly teenager. There are rumors and stories of his early life but none have been confirmed by Ryuu. Even his closest friends and allies have only sparse details on his background. One of the popular propaganda pieces from the beginning of the Hamajō Confederation was the intentional spreading of a rumor that he was truly born from a dragon. This was intended more to bolster support than actually explain who he is, but it caught on as the prominent myth to serve as his "explanation." The earliest report of his existence came when a young, blonde teenager wearing homemade pelts as clothes while carrying a sword entered a clothing store in a rural town just south of the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning. When questioned about his clothes he said rather simply "my old ones were too small and I didn't have many options." When asked who he was, he simply replied "Ryuunosuke Hamajō." After performing several oddjobs to pay off the man for a modern wardrobe he left the city to continue on his journey. This was the first time his name was spoken and it was far from the last. Over the next four years he traveled across the world like a wandering swordsman. He was only a teenager at the time, many didn't take him seriously, and many more tried to take advantage of him. Despite the cruel world he lived in, he was a kind soul. A strong soul. He always spared his attackers, granting mercy on most who crossed him. It was through this kindness that he made his allies. In time he had gathered a group of six followers, each one a man or woman he had defeated and spared. These friends, too, had their own followers and connections. They were all powerful, strong shinobi from all over the world. People of respect and admiration, and they all respected and admired Ryuunosuke. He was a kind and merciful soul. He was a champion of peace. His name began to spread and his group was given the name of the Dragon's Den. While his fame grew and more and more people joined his cause, Ryuunosuke grew less kind. His merciful nature, after years of being tested, began wearing away when he was seventeen. The change was slow and gradual. Many didn't notice it, Ryuunosuke to this day hasn't noticed it, but somewhere along the line he stopped sparing his enemies. But it didn't matter by that point. He had a small army of loyal followers, positioned all over the world. Dragon's Den was becoming big enough for the Kages of the Hidden Villages to take notice. But by then it was already too late. All they needed to create a new world order was a spark. They had many thousands of supporters and the potential to gain hundreds of thousands. The idea of world peace and global harmony was enticing, after all. The message they preached was that only through unity could everyone come to a mutual understanding. Only by coming together could mankind be strong enough to carry on. The spark came when the leader of Amegakure publicly cast the seven prominent members of Dragon's Den out of the village. He claimed they were a cancer to the world, that they would only cause global warfare if they continued on their path. He demanded they leave his village and never step foot in it again. A fifteen year-old Ryuunosuke would've accepted the man's decision and demonstrated his kindness and understanding by leaving. But Ryuunosuke was nineteen now. He no longer spared his enemies. Amegakure was the first to be taken in. His army of supporters only grew, making Dragon's Den a very important and very powerful organization. This prompted a name change, at the behest of Ryuunosuke himself. If they were to lead the people fairly it could not be left up to one person. Instead there would be a council at the top, an oligarchy. These nations would become one big confederation, Ryuu proposed. And from that day forward began the rise of the Hamajō Confederation. The rest is history. In less than a year the Hamajō Confederation was able to secure all the Hidden Villages, forcing their respective countries into submission. Each nation in the Confederation was represented by one of the original six members of the organization, with Ryuunosuke serving as the President of the Council and accordingly the President of the Hamajō Confederation. Their victory was celebrated across the world by their armies and supporters, but their work was not yet complete. The world was not yet properly unified. Enemies to the peace still existed. He was so young then, practically ruling the world before he was even twenty. Times have changed, he has changed. What was once a kind boy has grown into a hardened man. Peace could not be maintained through kindness, he reasoned. It could only be kept through order, loyalty, and force. This was unanimously agreed by the entire Council. The groundwork for a prosperous future had been laid out, and to some extent it has succeeded over the past eleven years. Many people are happy and safe. But not everyone. The Red Sages, in particular, have been the biggest thorn in Ryuu's side. These violent and chaotic rebels. They failed to understand his vision, to understand what's best for them. Their mere existence was a sign: Ryuunosuke's utopia was far from complete. He hadn't achieved world peace yet. There was still more obstacles in his path. Even after unifying all the nations he still had enemies. And Ryuunosuke doesn't spare his enemies anymore. 【Family ties】 Nobody knows what his family life was like. When asked, Ryuu says that he loved his parents but they had passed away when he was only eight. He also says that he had no siblings. 【Dreams and fears】 The hopes and dreams of Lord Hamajō are no secret: his greatest wish is to unify the entire world in a peaceful, prosperous utopia. He has already made great strides towards accomplishing this and shows no signs of changing his mind. His fears, on the other hand, are less known. First and foremost would be the fear of the Confederation collapsing. But, after that, he is known to be paranoid of his own organization for traitors, constantly ordering investigations in an attempt to expose any and all assassination plots against him. A small fear he has that is only known by the select few he had begun the Hamajō Confederation with is his mild fear of crowds and public speaking. This is something he can keep under control, but he is always visibly uncomfortable when surrounded by many people. This also relates to his paranoia. 【Songs】 The Dragon's Name (Instrumental) The Hero's Path The Villain's Way The Conqueror's Blade (Instrumental) “Being the strongest man in the world isn't easy, but I wouldn't have it any other way.” Katsuko is not built lithe like most ninja, instead having a tall and muscular body. His extra bulk is always apparent regardless of garments. His signature red hair makes him easily identifiable, if his size wasn't already a good enough indicator. He often wears only the clothes depicted in the picture above, but he also wears white or black shirts with the Konoha emblem emblazoned on the chest as well as red jackets whenever he is not in combat. He only removes the jacket when he gets into a fight. Personnel files.

Prides itself on producing powerful shinobi, though far too small of a family to compete with larger clans. 【Rank】 Jounin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Bold, confident, and determined. Katsuko is a man of pride who values strength just as much as he values honesty and loyalty. He doesn't withhold his opinion aside from rare circumstances and is surprisingly a capable listener to the opinions of others. He treats others with respect, though his confidence sometimes dips into cockiness when addressing those who challenge him. Many find him to be a reliable person, the kind of guy who will fulfill a promise if he makes one. He will talk tough, and everyone knows he is strong, but he is never quite intimidating. He is just light-hearted enough to make him fun to be around but still capable of being serious when it is required of him. 【History】 Born to a simple family in a simple home, Katsuko was raised to become a shinobi like his father, Jinkama. His mother and father took in his older cousin when she was nine and Katsuko was six, due to her parents' tragic deaths in the field as shinobi. Between him, his father, and his cousin, the Moto household had plenty of shinobi and training together. While Jinkama had always been a prodigious swordsman, Katsuko and his cousin Keiko turned out to be geniuses in their own respective fields of taijutsu and ninjutsu respectively. As Keiko and Katsuko became older teens the Hamajo Confederation took over. Katsuko was only a chuunin at the time but still tried his best to defend Konoha alongside his family and comrades. But the opposing army was too great and the order to surrender was given once Konoha's leaders had been slain. The Choko siblings that were in control had perished and the jounin commander disappeared without a trace, forcing the cooperation of the rest of Konoha's forces. After a while Katsuko grew accustomed to the new way of life. But his father never did. Jinkama was one of the first to join the Red Sages, secretly leading operations against the Confederation as a senior officer. It wasn't until Katsuko was already 22 years old and a fresh jounin himself that his father was finally found out. In an ambush attack he was struck a mortal blow, killing him later that night from his blood loss and damaged heart. In his dying hours he confessed his plans and ideals to Katsuko and his cousin, spurring them both into action. The Confederation came to their house the next day, retrieving Jinkama's body and subjecting the entire Moto family to a thorough investigation. They passed and were let go, but were put under watch for several months following the event. After his leash had been loosened, Katsuko joined the Red Sages and brought his cousin along too. Unlike their father they were young and unfit for leadership. This made it easier to stay under the radar, but it meant they were only grunts in the grand scheme of things. Over the past few years they have made their way up the ladder, earning respect from their peers for their strength and skill as shinobi. Lately Katsuko has become interested in taking a leadership role for the cause, much like his father did before him. Only this time he has made sure to cover all his bases and prioritize the secrecy of his plans, which his father clearly failed at. Only time will tell how this strong, determined young man will affect the outcome of the brewing civil war. 【Family ties】 Growing up in a tight-knit household, one would expect Katsuko to be very close with his family. But considering every member of his family is largely independent, they are actually quite distant despite their good standings. Whether it is out of stubbornness or laziness, one cannot tell. But the Moto family rarely gathers, but when they do they all appreciate and respect each other like any functioning family would. Jinkama Moto \| Father \| Died at 49, former jounin in Konoha's armed forces. Akira Moto \| Mother \| 50, Konohagakure, owns a grocery store and is generally respected by her community. Keiko Moto \| Cousin \| 29, Konohagakure, jounin and older cousin that Katsuko grew up with. 【Dreams and fears】 Katsuko has a few dreams including establishing himself as the strongest man in the world and seeing the Red Sage's cause through to the end, to create a world where everyone is free and capable of autonomy. When it comes to fears he may seem to be fearless, but Katsuko fears humiliation above all else. Even death does not muster fear in his heart like his name being brought to shame. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Katsuko is a taijutsu master, brutalizing his foes through sheer power and speed. While his ranged options are limited, he has little difficulty in closing any gaps of range to maximize his offensive prowess. His durability and sheer determination is nothing to shake a stick at either, allowing him to tank blows in order to easier land hits on his foes. While his strength is already something fearsome, he is known to exploit his opponent to tip the scales even further in his favor. He may not be the brightest bulb but he sure is the toughest, and he knows it. Expect a beating from hell if you dare cross Katsuko. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Chikaroatoshi Description: An ocular kekkei genkai, like the Sharingan or Byakugan. By using his eyes as a medium, Katsuko is able to access the chakra of his opponents through their eyes (tapping into the first two of the Eight Gates). This allows Katsuko to steal his foe's chakra simply through eye contact. The range does not matter, as it is eye contact at any range, but the duration of contact that determines the loss. An inept user may drain chakra slowly, but someone as versed as Katsuko can drain an enemy of their entire chakra pool in less than ten seconds of maintained eye contact. The chakra that is siphoned goes directly into Katsuko's system, powering him further and allowing him to demonstrate more strength and speed on top of gaining more stamina. A crafty and debilitating ability, but not the most stealthy. When using this ability, Katsuko's eyes turn from red to gold and have a faint glow. This can be considered a warning, as any and all eye contact made with him at that point will drain chakra, regardless of whether they are friend or foe. Strengths: The ability to drain chakra from an enemy at a distance, without prior contact, is a pretty good strength. It stacks further when one considers that Katsuko can effectively grow faster and stronger through the duration of a battle while his foes grow weaker and more tired at a much greater rate than they normally would. Weaknesses: An obvious way to avoid losing chakra is to avoid eye contact. If one makes eye contact and then breaks it off, the siphoning is broken off as well. Chakra may drain at an alarming rate, which experienced shinobi will feel and realize quickly that Katsuko is draining them, thus allowing them to avert their gaze before they reach the point of passing out. Avoiding eye contact altogether prevents any less of chakra. However, an actual weakness here, Katsuko can only absorb so much energy before he would overload. This amount is incredibly high, however, and would require many, many shinobi to accomplish. A more realistic alternative is to make him absorb "unsafe" chakra, such as Natural Chakra, which Katsuko's body would be unable to withstand in quantity. If he somehow overloads or absorbs a substantial amount of unsafe chakra, then his chakra system will be disabled and he would likely die. 【Ninja techniques】 S rank techniques: One Thousand Eyes Technique A rank techniques: Chakra Enhanced Strength Great Cataclysm B rank techniques: Earth Release: Earth Spear Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall C rank techniques: Earth Release: Hiding Like a Mole Technique D-E rank techniques: Academy Techniques Vantage Strike 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: One Thousand Eyes Technique Rank: S Range: Self ; Line of Sight (range irrelevant) Description: This is Katsuko's ace-in-the-hole, his ultimate technique if you will. It requires no handseals to activate but takes five seconds to properly manifest. Throughout the five seconds of warm-up many dozens of eye tattoos appear across his entire body. At the five second mark the black tattoos all turn golden and activate. These become conduits for Katsuko's eyes. Being that Katsuko is now looking through many angles around him all at once, it leaves him with no visual blind spots. However the true power of this technique doesn't lie in visual acuity but instead by serving as a medium for his Kekkei Genkai. While normally a foe may be able to fight to some degree by avoiding eye contact with Katsuko, this technique makes that almost impossible. Looking at him at all will result in losing chakra, fast. Even more so: this allows him to steal chakra from many people all at once. Naturally this means his strength, speed, and chakra pool increase at a staggering magnitude of order. Whether he is fighting one man or an entire army it does not matter. The downside to this technique lies in its strength: by absorbing chakra at a much higher rate he gets closer to overloading on "unsafe" chakra at a much higher rate as well. A seemingly simple but devastatingly powerful technique in all, generally reserved for situation when Katsuko is heavily outnumbered but can be used if faced against a sly opponent that refuses to lose their chakra. It is worth noting that this will also steal chakra from allies, as Katsuko's eyes cannot pick-and-choose who they steal from. ANYONE who looks at him will lose their power. Jutsu name: Great Cataclysm Rank: A Range: Short Description: An attack that utilizes Katsuko's Saihyousen weapon. By using it's incredible weight and Katsuko's incredible strength, an earth-shattering slam attack is performed after leaping into the air. While the attack is clearly telegraphed and easy to read, it is regarded as A rank due to the sheer damage output. A direct hit is fatal, and even a miss can deal severe damage due to the shockwaves and shattering earth. The impact is like a small earthquake and can disrupt the balance and focus of both friend and foe alike. An imposing attack that is mostly for striking fear into his enemies through demonstration of force rather than getting the direct hit, though it isn't very slow so direct hits can happen with grotesque result. Jutsu name: Vantage Strike Rank: D Range: Short Description: An opening punch from a stealthy approach. This is often Katsuko's entry into a battle. Using the element of surprise a heavy punch is delivered to the solar plexus (from the front) or the spine (from the back) depending on angle. Can easily defeat a foe by itself, only the hardiest of people will can take the hit. Dodging it is the best way to go for sure. Like seriously, dodge this fucking punch or it's over before it begins. Don't test Katsuko, you don't want to even try to block this shit. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Saihyousen Weapon, tool or object type: Massive Clubbing-type Weapon Description: An incredibly heavy weapon that very few can wield. A three meter long steel rod with half its length fitted with two solid steel spheres. This makes the handle a meter-and-a-half and the striking area the same length. This massive weapon weighs a literal ton, meaning that for the few like Katsuko who can swing it it will provide terrifying power behind every blow. Not only does its sheer size and imposing figure strike fear into his foes but just one swing is often all it will take to make an opposing force surrender. Nobody wants to die from being crushed and having all their bones broken simultaneously. Katsuko keeps this weapon sealed in a small scroll he keeps on his belt, as carrying it around would be awkward and uncomfortable. He can wield it without Chakra Enhanced Strength or using his Kekkei Genkai, but without either his attacks become slow and easy to dodge. With his "buffs" active he can wield this behemoth like a samurai would wield a katana. “I just have to keep trying, I guess...” First and foremost, Mirai's most striking feature is not her blue hair, the scar on her nose, her red eye, or even her blind left eye. It is her left arm, or rather the lack thereof. When out of the house she has a metal prosthetic arm in its place to allow her to keep functioning as a shinobi. While her stature is generally slim, not having any more muscle than she needs to lift her own weight and move around at an acceptable speed, her prosthetic arm is a bit bulkier than her real one. As for clothes she generally wears the garments depicted in the picture above but is known to wear dresses on fancy occasions or wear heavier clothes on chilly days. Due to wearing heels many think she is of average height but she is actually on the short side, standing at a mere 158cm tall. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Pragmatic, cynical, and doubtful. Mirai has a bad habit where she doesn't have much self-respect or self-confidence. She is quick to rely on others, both in and out of combat. While she is weak-willed that isn't to say she has no will at all. In fact she can be very stubborn and determined when pushed hard enough to rely on herself. This can come across as almost hypocritical, as her passive and depressing personality would make one think she would be unable to actually try to do anything. To that same effect, once Mirai has actually bolstered her will she casts away pride, honor, and any other emotion that would impair her actions. There is no such thing as a "low blow" to her. If she has to fight, she will go to whatever length it takes to survive or kill her opponent, depending on the situation. She isn't prone to rage, but many think that she enters an enraged state due to her ferocity even though her actual emotion would be more akin to panic or fear. 【History】 Born to the wealthy Yumiya family, Mirai was raised just as one would expect from her class. Most of the parenting she received was from household servants, particularly her personal servant Aneka, while her real parents were too busy. Busy with what? Her father, Makoto, has been a part of the Hamajo Confederation since its early days. Nobody knows what he does, exactly, but he had supplied his fortune when it was first starting up. He doesn't seem to do much anymore yet still holds prestige and position among the government for his support. Now Mirai's mother, on the other hand, had even less of an excuse. She had no job. She instead dedicated her life to knowledge, reading as many books as she could even at the cost of family time. So that was her early childhood. She received in-home education, private tutoring from Aneka, for several years. But, as she began to mature, she realized that she didn't enjoy her life. It was boring, dull, had no meaning. Her family wasn't loving, she had no friends, and had no talents. When Mirai was eight years old she decided she would go to Konohagakure to learn how to become a shinobi at their academy. Naturally her parents were against the idea initially, but it was evident they had some kind of love or bond with their child for they eventually relented and granted her wish. Since there was no family in Konoha nor could her parents spare the time to go with her, Mirai was attended by Aneka for the "duration of her stay in Konohagakure." And so the two traveled. Mirai began attending the Ninja Academy and so did Aneka, despite the fact the servant was already a full-grown woman. Aneka Toyama figured she would need to learn the shinobi arts if she wanted to properly care for and protect Mirai. The young girl became a genin at the age of 12, but it was apparent that she was not particularly... skilled. She was among the bottom ranks of her class and despite growing over the years never really improved at the same rate her classmates did. At first it frustrated her, but after a while it became something she felt accustomed to. She was given low-expectations, little respect, and barely any time of the day. Ironically it was nothing new to her. Mirai couldn't make any progress as a genin until she was sixteen. A mission went horribly wrong. The squad she was in was supposed to eradicate a bandit camp. But somehow, some way, the two chuunin and one genin were not prepared enough for the battle. Once her squadmates had been defeated and captured, Mirai attempted to flee but to no avail. She simply wasn't fast enough to escape or strong enough to break free. The resulting beating she received ended up putting a scar across the bridge of her nose and leaving her blind in one eye. The bandits later tortured the teenagers, trying to extract information out of them. Mirai attempted to escape during her interrogation, prompting an angry and violent response from her captors and resulting in the loss of her left arm. That night the squad was rescued by a (better) team of shinobi. After the bandits had all been killed or captured, Mirai was given medical treatment but they could not find her severed arm to attempt to reattach it. She was later told that it was the Red Sages who had done this damage to her, and that it was likely her career as a shinobi was over. Her hampered vision and physical capability made the Confederation put her on indefinite standby, a polite way to say early retirement. While Mirai seemed accepting of her fate, her servant Aneko (who has been a chuunin for a while by now) knew that she was heartbroken. Rather than let her resign to her fate, Aneko contacted her parents back in Amegakure to update them on her situation and get their help. And as such Makoto ordered the construction of a prosthetic arm that wouldn't just fully replace Mirai's original but exceed it's capability in terms of utility. If she was going to be a kunoichi then she was going to be a good one, and a good kunoichi needs good armaments. And arms. Mirai was shocked when she finally received the prosthetic, amazed at how well it worked and how useful it was. With a new motivation to get back into the game, Mirai began trying her best to work her way up the ranks. After receiving a new arm and undergoing intensive training with Aneko she finally made it to chuunin rank at seventeen, granted it was by the skin of her teeth. Nevertheless she was proud of her accomplishment, despite her monotone demeanor and the disapproving looks of her comrades. Her next goal is to become jounin, though considering the slow climb so far she isn't deluding herself over the difficulty and time it will take. 【Family ties】 Mirai's family was never particularly close or intimate. Father was always busy, mother was always locked away by herself with her books, and Mirai was always left to her own devices. Most of her care was seen through family servants rather than her parents. While Mirai can't say she "loves" her family, she does hold a natural soft spot in her heart for them. The only time they really spent together was dinnertime and holidays. Otherwise they were all alone, despite living in the same house. Makoto Yumiya \| Father \| 42, Amegakure, his exact job is unclear but he seems to be a part of some kind of committee established by the Confederation. Chiyuri Yumiya \| Mother \| 36, Amegakure, housewife who owns a whole library full of books that is always growing. Aneka Toyama \| Personal Servant \| 29, Amegakure, Mirai's personal maid that has taken care of her since she was a toddler. No blood relation. 【Dreams and fears】 In her depressing state, Mirai doesn't have many dreams. But, despite what she may say or feel, deep down inside she wants to become someone worthy of respect. Someone for others to look up to, like a role model or a hero. While she has a lack of dreams, she has no lack of fears. Ranging from the mundane such as bugs and dark places to the more serious fears such as having no friends, having no family, and even dying. Death is what she fears above all else. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Mirai doesn't have impressive taijutsu, ninjutsu, or genjutsu skills. To combat her general lack of natural talent she has come to rely on weapons and tactics. She is proficient with many kinds of weapons and tools, using her skills and her arsenal to her advantage to combat her physically superior opponents. She prefers to keep range and use surprise attacks, making her a bag of tricks that could be potentially fatal to the unwary or overconfident. Mirai may come across as underwhelming but perhaps that truly is her greatest asset. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: N/A B rank techniques: Self Destruct C rank techniques: Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder Lightning Release: Lightning Rod Poison Spike D-E rank techniques: Hidden Needle Cannon Academy Techniques 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Poison Spike Rank: C Range: Short Description: A hidden spike lathered in a neurotoxin is propelled from the palm of her mechanical arm, reaching a full length of four inches. It pops out at high speed so as to punch through thin armor or cloth as well as breaking the opponents skin. Very useful as a surprise attack when the enemy is close. The spike will be retracted after half a second, concealing it and allowing full use of her hand again. The toxin itself can be lethal in large doses (i.e. stabbed multiple times) but most victims will survive even without medical assistance. The toxin numbs the target over time, eventually reaching the point where they have incredible difficulty controlling their body. In higher doses it even affects their thought processes as their brain is numbed as well. A single stab can't defeat an enemy unless they are small and have a fast metabolism, but two or three stabs will be enough to bring down an average-sized adult over the course of five to ten minutes. Four doses or more is when it starts to become dangerous, becoming lethal to the average-sized adult at six (that is: without proper medical attention). Jutsu name: Hidden Needle Cannon Rank: D Range: Short-Medium Description: As compared to the hidden spike coming from the mechanical arm's palm, these needles fire from the outside of the forearm in a wide volley. A total of twenty senbon are shot out all at once, much like an open choke shotgun blast. Naturally the lack of accuracy hinders the effective range, but the senbon can travel over 100m from the propulsion. However, actually hitting a target at that range isn't feasible. Rather it is perfect for a painful surprise on an advancing enemy within 10m. The wide spray practically guarantees damage and the unexpected angle of attack adds versatility. Once the senbon are fired this attack cannot be used until Mirai reloads her arm, which is better done outside of battle due to the tedious nature. Jutsu name: Self Destruct Rank: B Range: Medium - 20m radius Description: If desperate times call for desperate measures, Mirai can use her prosthetic arm as a bomb. As it is loaded with explosives, all it takes for her to activate the countdown is her own will and some chakra. Once triggered it has a three second countdown before detonation. This gives Mirai just enough time to detach the arm and reach a distance she where she will survive the shockwave and avoid the explosion itself. Once the timer is started it cannot be cancelled, but thankfully it can only be started by Mirai thanks to her chakra connection with the arm. An obvious downside is that Mirai loses her better arm from using this technique, and it took a good while for it to be built the first time. Getting another could take up to two weeks, leaving her weak and unfit for duty for that duration. Debatably the bigger weakness would be the possibility of her not getting out of the blast zone in time, as the fuse is short and the range is wide. Thankfully she's had some practice and could probably make it. Probably. Same goes for any opponents who realize what is going on. They, too, have the same three seconds to make a break for it. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Left Arm Weapon, tool or object type: An advanced, mechanical prosthetic arm that Mirai uses during her waking hours. Description: Made of steel and powered by chakra, this arm is far superior to the one Mirai had lost. Not only is it incredibly durable and stable, but it also has multiple hidden weapons integrated into the forearm for surprise attacks. It houses a mechanism that fires a brief volley of senbon, contains a hidden poison-tipped spike, and even multiple exploding tags that will detonate if the arm is severed from Mirai (again). It also boasts significantly higher strength as compared to her right arm, as the entire left arm up to the shoulder is prosthetic. Notably it also weighs a respectable amount, adding onto Mirai's total weight on a scale to make her seem much bulkier than she actually is. Despite this weight it moves at an identical speed to her right arm, though because it is made of metal it packs much greater force behind every movement. Weapon, tool, or object name: Kunai Weapon, tool, or object type: Kunai Description: They're fucking kunai. Weapon, tool, or object name: Shuriken Weapon, tool, or object type: Shuriken Description: They're not fucking kunai. Weapon, tool, or object name: Smoke Bombs Weapon, tool, or object type: Smoke Bombs Description: Small bombs that explode into smoke, useful for many things. Direct hits don't really hurt anyone though, unfortunately. Can be attached to kunai for greater distance on throws. Weapon, tool, or object name: Ninjato Weapon, tool, or object type: Ninjato Description: A short sword with a straight blade, positioned horizontally across the back of Mirai's waist. Useful for, surprise, cutting things. This is Mirai's primary method of self-defense should an opponent get too close for her comfort.

51,151	1,381	58	1,787	2,152	Higōhō Hyuga „Bastard” Hamajō Confederation Higoho gritted his teeth hard as he walked closer to Tanji, furling his hands up into fists. He approached steadily and when he reached the boy, swiftly grabbed the boys collar dragging him onto his feet. “Baka!” he yelled as he looked the guy in the eyes with his Byakugan, the veins on the side of his eyes still visible. “I should punch your face in for that.” he said. But from the corner of his eye - or rather, his vision, since the Byakugan was practically a 360 degree CCTV for Higoho - he noticed figures were moving. It seemed Seijo was on the move, followed by the weird water Genjutsu kid he'd fought earlier. Were they retreating? It seemed like it. Some Red Sage shinobi went to pick up some wounded Red Sages to take home, or captured prisoners, and then quickly made their way away from the compound. He looked back at Tanji and spat, the saliva flying past Tanji onto the floor. “You're lucky that you're not interesting.” he said as he pushed his arm away and threw Tanji onto the floor, making him fall with his back to the wall. He turned back to face Setsuko and her companion, whom he hadn't met before. Atleast, Higoho didn't think so. He relaxed his muscles now and the veins next to his eyes calmed down, indicating that he'd stopped using the byakugan. “You said you're in the intelligence group?” he said to Tanji, expecting him to get up and join the small 'group' that they had formed with Setsuko and her red haired friend. “Do you happen to be in the 11th corps?” He'd wait for an answer before turning to the group in general. “I'm gonna go see what is up at the compound. Feel free to stand around here some more like a bunch of idiots.” And with that said he headed out to the compound again, heading up the stairs he had just came down from, in order to see what had happened while he was gone.	Partisans Cool Guy Group Entry not allowed to peasants I'm talking about you Savato “To kindle that memory is all I strive for - all this, it has no greater purpose to me. But it's all I can do.” Pictured on the left, Seijo is obviously a well matured woman. Her age would probably be estimated in her early twenties, around 23 or so. That seems to be fairly accurate given her personnel files. What stands out most in her physique are probably her white, short hair and her large breast size. She struts a feminine hourglass figure with wide hips and a wide chest, and a smaller waistline. Adding to that her hips often sway side to side effortlessly, only adding to her appearance as a good looking woman. She stands rather tall for a woman at about 1.74m, and weighs approximately 62 kilo's, though you can guess where most of that weight is located. Her jawline is sharp, almost as if drawn with a pencil and a ruler. Her chin is slightly pointed, but rounded off enough to stop it from appearing like a pointy spear, ready to pierce your body. She has a small mouth with somewhat thin lips, which are pale in color and are only a slight tint darker than her skin. Her large eyes are a brown colour, framed by her eyebrows. Her eyebrows are thin, most likely maintained by Seijo herself. The only thing that stops people from seeing her as only a beautiful woman, are most likely her facial expressions. She's quick to anger. Personnel files.

Should be obvious, heh. 【Sexuality】 Noticeably bisexual. 【Birthplace】 Amegakure. 【Bloodline】 Tametomo. 【Rank】 Lady Commander of the Red Sages, approximated jonin level. Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Assessments of Seijo have shown her to be a brotherly-friendly type of person. She's someone that enjoys very much when you fall down face first in the muddy puddle, and who will gladly spend a few years laughing about that. Never the less she's outgrown that feeling, or at the very least tried to. She's more serious now, which is in line with her position as Lady Commander of the Red Sages. She's still bitter - about the confederation, about the wars, about everything really, and she makes no attempts to hide that. She hates everything about the Confederation, and in her mind, if you are not a Red Sage, you must be a confederate sympathizer. That has grown increasingly prominent in her plans on beating the Confederation now that her brother Tarara died. She's very vengeful, you could say, and it's hard for her to let go of a grudge. Besides this she's also very cocky when it comes down to it, perhaps a bit ruthless, but so far nobody has really dared to stand up against her or question her plans - and she intends to keep it that way. To her, nothing will stand in the way of beating the Confederation, not even her own death. And while before she was fighting merely for freedom, since Tarara's death she's also fighting for him. 【History】 Seijo was born in Amegakure two years apart from her older brother Tarara. They were a semi-happy family, as life in Amegakure wasn't always that great. Especially when it became apparent that two Amegakure shinobi, Ayame and Fujitora, had taken power in Konohagakure. The Amegakure people faced paranoia from all other nations than Konohagakure, seriously hurting their trade power. Then again, it didn't seem to matter much as shortly after Ayame and Fujitora came to power wars started breaking out. Some were even started by Ayame and Fujitora, so it was no surprise Amegakure got involved quickly. By the time that had all happened, Seijo was already a shinobi of fighting age, and was pushed to the front. Luckily for the family all our of them were shinobi, her mother being a strong shinobi with some sensory powers, her father being a taijutsu specialist and her older brother, Tarara, being simply a shinobi. What put Seijo apart from the rest of her family was the utilization of a special kekkei genkai that seemed to have skipped a few generations. In the wars sometimes she'd fight alongside her family, sometimes she'd fight alone with her own squad, but luckily for them they all returned home safe and sound - though Tarara had lost an eye to an enemy kunai. The wars weren't really finished, but something greater was at large. The Confederation arose some time later, and Amegakure being a small village wasn't able to withstand the pressure. They were forced to integrate into the Confederation and were made into the capital - many Amegakure citizens were forced to leave to make way for presidential buildings, apartments for envoys etcetera. While Seijo's mother and father remained behind to 'hold down the fort', Tarara and Seijo left to join up with a band of 'outlaws' that roamed the land. They were Amegakure shinobi who refused to submit to the Confederation, so not quite the rebels they were made out to be. They roamed around the lands for some time and sometimes clashed with other shinobi groups, conflicting for reasons that were no longer valid ever since the confederation had taken over. Over time Tarara grew to become the leader and Seijo his right hand, since there were deaths aplenty in these times and the leaders were usually prime targets - if not for mutiny then for battle with other shinobi groups. At that time the Red Sages were already around and Tarara led the group to join with the Red Sages. The organisation was picking up pace quickly and they made Tarara a captain, and was immediately sent out on missions. The missions varied greatly and Seijo was sometimes sent on missions too, ranging from picking up some equipment, to sabotaging infrastructure. Over time Tarara showed his leadership qualities again and when the previous leader died from old age, Tarara was designated to take over. Seijo wasn't bitter about being in his shadow so much, just wishing to do what was right for her family. But unfortunately Tarara didn't last long, as he was assasinated in the dead of the night by some special operations force from the Confederation. The fight didn't last long at all - Tarara and the few shinobi that were around put up a fierce fight but there were many shinobi, and not enough of the Red Sages. Before reinforcements could arrive Tarara was killed. There was no designation of leadership. To Seijo, there was no question who would take over. It would be her, or she'd leave the Red Sages and do the job herself. But when she claimed leadership, there wasn't anyone that wished to oppose her at that time. The fire burning in her eyes now was enough to dissuade anyone from attempting that, even if they had wanted to. 【Family ties】 The family Seijo grew up in wasn't anything special. There's no sobstories involved, with dead parents, loss of loved ones in the past, growing up an orphan. And there weren't so many happy stories, given that they were in Amegakure, which wasn't exactly the most peaceful nor rich place in the world. Never the less she loves her family, or what is left of it at the current point in time. After all, conflict breeds death. Tarara Tametomo \| Brother \| 30 at time of death, Amegakure, lord commander of the Red Sages. He always loved Red Panda's. Seijo didn't, and she regrets that now. Oiro Tametomo \| Father \| 56, Amegakure, ex-shinobi, currently has a ramen restaurant that serves to the poor. It also serves to the rich. Really, it serves to anyone, he just says he serves to the poor because that sounds better. Rei Tametomo \| Mother \| 54, Amegakure, ex-kunoichi and professional nagger. She likes to nag about a lot of things, especially about Oiro not making his ramen properly. 【Dreams and fears】 Seijo's dreams are really only related to destroying or atleast getting even with the confederation. Besides that she wishes to see her father and mother again in peace one day, but she realizes that that might not be a possibility. Another dream is to meet with one of the Choko siblings - Fujitora or Ayame - though she has heard that it's possible both are deceased since the Confederation took over. Her fears, well, she hasn't many, which has more to do with her attempts at being seen as a coldheaded leader. She ofcourse fears losing her life - she is human and every human fears this. But this fear isn't in the back of her head whenever she enters battle. A fear that is also present is the fear of losing her followers - while she doesn't care directly for their support, she knows she needs them to succeed in her goals. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Seijo is a medium distance fighter with a focus on utilizing jutsu to keep the enemy at bay and kill them. That aside however she possesses some strength and is capable of using taijutsu if she needs to as well - quite adequately even. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Fungus Release Description: The Fungus release allows the user a control over fungal-style plants and moss, which would be able to sprout from the users touch. Remarkably harmless in how it sounds, it's been weaponized quite well through years of practice. The origins of this release are unknown, but the uses are not. It doesn't manifest in clear sight, as the fungus used in this release are housed inside the users body, feeding off of the waste the host produces. As such the user has a notoriously quicker metabolism, as well as a noticeably lower rate of human waste dispersion. In use, the release manifests itself through the obvious moss and fungus it produces. The moss is highly flammable, but the large area of effect jutsu's that can be used with it can cause a spreading fire, or even an explosion, since the spores it releases are very dense. This might inadvertently trap everyone inside the technique, friend or foe, in a fiery vortex. Besides that, the moss has some interesting capabilities, such as genjutsu inducing properties, poison inducing properties or even a chakra and dead tissue absorbing quality, much a kin to real moss and fungi. Some specific branch of the fungi even have mind-controlling capabilities, but it's required to induce the fungal spores into the target by touch, after which it will grow it's way towards the targets brain internally and take over, collect info or possibly control them. Strengths: Versatile and allows the user to regain strength and chakra mid-battle through absorbtion of dead tissue. It's got a great variety for many situations and it's not obvious exactly what is going on with this bloodline limit until it's used. Weaknesses: Fire and (controlled) chakrablasts can somewhat easily deal with the fungi, although you have to be careful with the chakra since the moss can also feed off of it if used improperly. Besides that, it becomes easy to see what the bloodline limit entails once it's used, as it's obvious this is moss or fungus. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu Assimilate All Creation Technique B rank techniques: Barrier: Dome Method Technique 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Transportation Technique Rank: C Range: N/A. Description: Forming the tiger seal, the user sinks into the ground into a small circle of moss with toadstools in it, seemingly dissapearing. A simple transportation technique, this technique will then allow the user to appear somewhere else in the same circle of moss with toadstools in it, which seem to appear out of nowhere to anyone watching. The technique is usable in battle, but the sinking effect is slow allowing opponents to land hits while she is 'sinking' into the patch of moss. Never the less, the appearing effect is quickly, allowing Seijo to appear out of nowhere rather quick and attacking. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Invocation of Nature Rank: B Range: 500m diameter. Description: After forming a boar-hare-ram seal string, and then slamming the palm into the ground, the user can transform the area around themselves into a mossy field by spreading the moss inside their body rapidly over the land, capable of terraforming even the most arid lands into moss and fungus covered 'grasslands' which will quickly (10 minutes) give rise to many forms of plantlife and even small trees (30 minutes). This technique seems semi-useless but it allows the user to transform land into something both useful, and to create a place where she is at home. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Control of Nature Rank: B Range: 500m diameter. Description: Using the moss that is already present in an area, the user is able to control the fungus and moss to a degree, making it capable of grabbing feet, forming walls and also spreading it even further, as long as the controlled substance stays in contact with moss or the user. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Deterioration of Spores Rank: B Range: A cone of 20m outwards of the user, in a triangle shape. Description: Inhaling deeply and placing an open palm in front of the mouth, the user exhales and blows out a large amount of spores over the area in front of her, which carry a poisonous substance that can cause anyone that inhales the spores to start breathing heavily, growing stronger and ultimately choking them by growing fungal growths in their throat over the course of a week if left untreated. Anyone that gets into contact with them externally, such as skin contact, will develop rashes which burn heavily, but are non lethal and can easily be treated as well. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Fungal Chakra Sap technique Rank: A Range: Touch. Description: After spreading fungus from one person (user) to the other (target) the user is able to 'infect' the target with fungus, by touching them and so spreading the fungus and moss to them. The user might notice, but will find it is hard to get rid of the fungus once it's internal through the chakra tenketsu. Once inside, the fungus will slowly sap away the enemies chakra, eating it to strengthen itself. After approximately a minute, the chakra eating fungus will be 'full' and detach itself, either falling off of the body, or being taken away by the blood system of the target. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Hallucination of Spores Rank: B Range: A cone of 50m outwards from the user. Description: Inhaling deeply and placing an open palm in front of the mouth, the user exhales and blows out a large amount of spores over the area in front of her, which are infused with the users' chakra and can carry over a genjutu upon being touched by a spore. Since it's easy to be freed from a genjutsu this technique is generally used only when fighting small groups. The genjutsu is capable of doing pretty much anything a high level genjutsu can do, giving the user pretty much full control over the effects of the genjutsu, while using the subconcious of the target to identify and use psychologically harmful events. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Greater Deterioration of Spores Rank: A Range: An area of 1km in diameter. Description: Similar to the normal deterioration of spores technique, this technique can cover entire battlefields in spores, transmitting the poison to anyone that inhales the spores, and also onto any allies that get harmed. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Ultimate Siphoning Jutsu Rank: S Range: Medium Description: After covering a field in moss, the user will then use their Control technique to encase an opponent in a special type of moss that hardens tremendously when it comes into contact with foreign chakra. It makes it able to withstand hard blows from taijutsu, weaponry and most jutsu. Encasing the opponent, the user then starts using the moss to siphon chakra, and transfer it to themselves to refill their reserves. What makes this S-rank is the speed at which this occurs - within ten minutes a target will be drained of nearly all chakra, at which point the technique can be disabled and the target 'freed' although with the little amount of chakra they would have left, they'd be as good as disabled for the duration of the fight. Jutsu name: Summoning: Neki the Newt Rank: C Range: N/A. Description: This summoning technique summons Neki the Newt. Given the qualities of a newt, this newt is capable of high speed water traversal as well as shooting water out of it's mouth. It's size is medium sized (it's aproximately 2m. high and 4m. long) and is big enough to carry two people in it's mouth at once if they are standing up. Weaknesses: Weaknesses to all internal fungi, such as the inhalation of the poisonous spores, or being touched by either the fungal parasite technique or chakra sap technique are external chakra. This is due to the fact that the moss and fungi adapt to the targets chakra, feeding off of it for sustainability. Any external chakra will offset it and make it deteriorate, as well as the effects with it. As such you can be pulled out of the genjutsu with external chakra (as is the case with regular genjutsu as well), you can stop the effects of spreading poisonous moss and fungus due to the Deterioration of Fungus technique, although the effects it's had on the target up until that point will remain (i.e you won't get rid of the rash, or the internal burning sensation it created). A weakness for external moss (the spores in the air, or the moss on the ground) is that it's highly flamable, however this is also a strength because it can be used against you. “I do not give to receive - I simply take.” If I die tonight Higōhō is a man of reasonable build, especially considering he practices a mostly non contact style of fighting. He's not precisely buff, more like lean, but that's just the way he likes it. His arms are toned as well as his chest and stomach which is more or less the extent of his build. He has a rounded jawline, with a round chin, protruding slightly from the rest of his faces' contours. The skin on his face is rather tight - it wouldn't be possible to pinch and pull his cheeks. He has a very thin nosebridge, and a slightly pointed nose. If one had to label it, his nose were likely to be seen as about average sized. Some of his facial features that stand out a lot are his pure white eyes which conflicts with his black hair and the black shirts he always wears. Although his outfit always changes (he's quite aware of fashion, and although he doesn't follow the latest trends, he likes to dress in ways that make him feel good) he has one consistent piece of clothing in his look - his necklace. On this necklace is the mon of the Hamajō Confederation. One could say he is very much a patriot. And the nice things one can say about him end about there. Personnel files.

Hyuga. 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Higōhō isn't a nice person whatsoever. He's very sure of himself, cocky to some, arrogant to others. It doesn't help that he's not weak, either. He believes very strongly in himself, and although he's smart enough to know that he's no Madara or Pain, he knows he's strong. Not only is that because of the Byakugan, it's also because of his own hard work he thinks, as well as some natural skill he feels like he has. His cockiness and arrogance has lead him to become quite careless when conversing with people - you can call him an asshole, a lighter term would be being rude. Truth is, he just doesn't really care. If a girl asks him what he thinks of her dress, and he doesn't like it, he'll tell her the dress is ugly. If her face is ugly too, well, he'll probably tell her that too. Though that doesn't mean he would dislike this person, he just thinks himself above most people, so he feels a right to say that. Ofcourse, if he likes something, he isn't afraid to say that either. But he doesn't like that much things. In battle.. do I even need to say this? He's arrogant. He's a bit overzealous at times, and doesn't know his own limits, willing to take on things that are above his own skill level. But so far that's not really ever gone wrong terribly. Aside that, you can call him dumb, or you can call him brave, but he doesn't really give up. You'll have to kill him, knock him out, or cut off his legs and arms if you want him to stop getting up after you pummel him. To him, it doesn't matter. Dying is more honorable than giving up. Besides his arrogant appearance and his lack of care for people around him - the catch is that really he does care. Being a bastard child and - boo-hoo-hoo - not receiving a lot of attention, love, nurturing and care, meant that to Higōhō he had to appear like he didn't care, to not give his father the satisfaction of being broken by his lack of care. This carried over to his adult years. And while he might not care for others because he likes them, he cares for their well being since they are in the same battalion. So, he'll be very sacrificial if he needs to be, willing to give his life up for something like a mission or another person. 【History】 Higōhō was born 18 years ago, to a Hyuga side branch member and a woman of lesser morals. Not exactly a brilliant future ahead of himself, especially since he was born with the Byakugan and thus it was demanded that he was handed over to the Hyuga's He was immediately given the cursed seal on his forehead. A stain of shame on his father's reputation, and already that of his own. Not like a newborn baby was aware of such concepts as reputations. But during his childhood his father made it painfully obvious that he wasn't exactly wanted - 'an accident' - and later one even went as far as saying that he was a stain on the family name, a bastard child who was never meant to be. He shrugged it off, really, because at that point it became apparent that his father was a deadbeat, only allowed to stay in the Hyuga home because his drinking problem and gambling addiction would bring shame to the family if word ever got out. Most of his childhood he was micro-managed by the nannies and tutored by the older members. More often than not he was treated as a child that wasn't supposed to be there, but they put up with him regardless. He showed progress in using the byakugan, especially the gentle fist, as if some sort of innate skill with that style was already within him. Whether that was true or not remained to be seen but fact of the matter was he did good in classes. As soon as he became 7, he was sent to the shinobi academy, because a bastard child had nothing better to become than a shinobi anyway. He did well. Well enough, anyway. Didn't exactly want to be there but hadn't much other choice. At that point in time he had already thought to himself that his only purpose in life was really to be a shinobi - and to fight for the confederation. The confederate soldiers were sort of his heroes, warriors fighting to protect their homes, true patriots, yadda yadda. He loved them. So, he figured, why not become one? The Confederation took over at that point and since then his class was kind of filled with masses of kids. That meant that, even though there were many prospect shinobi that were at a good level, there were far more useless kids who were only there because their parents want them to be. And that meant Higōhō would stand out a little. Welp, he passed, no big surprise. Got to be a genin running around doing stuff like saving kittens from trees and stuff. It didn't matter, he was still a confederate shinobi, which felt good. It didn't take him too long to become a chunin - the Confederation took an interest in him due to the Byakugan, and so his promotion came rather easy. And here we are! 【Family ties】 His family is mostly the Hyuga clan - his father, ofcourse, and then the nannies and teachers that he worked with. The other kids, he supposes, were 'okay'. He didn't really got bullied, so that's a plus. Katso Hyuga \| Father \| 47, his room in the Hyuga estate, professional deadbeat. 【Dreams and fears】 He dreams of, one day, becoming a jonin and leading a team, or perhaps even becoming a captain for the confederation and entering the political world of the Confederation. Besides that, he kinda wants to live a calm life after his service. What a simple soul. His fear is probably dying by Curse Seal - it'd be hard knowing you're gonna die without being able to fight back. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Higōhō is a very close combat oriented fighter, using the gentle fist. He is a proficient gentle fist user, capable of ousting most other nintaijutsu users with his own, and being a force to be reckoned with even within the Hyuga clan. That is not to say he'll beat anyone, however. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Byakugan Description: I can copy paste this URL here or you can just read it if you have no idea about byakugan (you barbar). His byakugan has a maximum range of 12 km, though that's only when he's not doing anything intensive (such as fighting). 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Eight Trigrams Mountain Crusher B rank techniques: Gentle Fist (style) Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm Eight Trigrams Sixty-four Palms Eight Trigrams Thirty-two Palms C rank techniques: Palm Bottom Tenketsu Needle 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Eight Trigrams Vacuum Combo Rank: C Range: Very close. Description: The jutsu is nothing more than a combination of a gentle fist move with the vacuum palm move. First the user spins around on their axle, using their left/right hand (depending on the way you spin) to open up the victims' body by slapping away any defensive hand placements, before slapping their palm forwards and using the vacuum palm technique. “Watashi wa Kami - I am still God.” Over the past 11 years Yamato hasn't changed much - appearance wise - in comparison with before the Hamajo confederation arrived. He's grown in size, reaching up to 1.83cm by now. He still dresses the same - tshirts, a-shirts or sweatshirts with some form of jacket over them. He usually wears chino's like he did before, but has traded his slip-in's for a pair of black combat boots. Yamato is defined as a handsome boy, having a chiseled jawline and somewhat skinny-looking cheeks. His nose bridge is quite thin, although not as if it were a stripe. Contrary to most with a thin nosebridge, his nostrils are also thin. Besides that he has no specific bone structure related characteristics. His eyes are a deep dark green, but not so dark that they can be mistaken for a grey-black colour. In accordance with genetics they are slightly slanted. The most defining features on his face are most likely his 3 large, reddish old scars running across his nose. Yamato's body is 'normal' in terms of muscle and fat, though it's improved compared to 11 years ago. He has some obviously defined muscled due to the nature of their schooling, as a normal shinobi is expected to keep up with his athletic properties. His arms are skinny, meaning that the muscles there are by nature more defined, but due to hard training, they are also very much so toned to perfection. Without flexing you could most likely see the muscles regardless. The same goes for his legs. His chest is not very broad nor does it extend towards the front due to musclemass. As such he has a rather 'normal' looking chest. Regardless he does have some definition there, although you probably wouldn't see it very often due to his clothes. Personnel files.

Although as every other clan they have to grow with the times, and as such many customs have become merely symbolical and don't actually hold much significance. These customs are almost always on par with that of the other clans, since the clan is not much different from the others. That said, they have since their waning influence, dabbled more into even darker trades, and many of the Minamoru which were not shinobi, have become actively involved in the illegal arms trade, drugs trade, prostitution and other illegal activities. 【Special Traits】 Males are known to be born with black hair specifically, with the females usually being born with either black hair, or white hair. Chances seem to be 50/50 for either of the colour. Their eyes are green, differing only in coloration between dark and light green. The Minamoru do not have any hiden or kekkei genkai - in fact, they despise kekkei genkai and see it as a curse, where as hiden are seen as a pest, but 'acceptable.' 【Influences】 The Minamoru influence on Konohagakure was very, very big. Some of it was subtle, such as underground influences due to the Yakuza affiliations they have, or rather.. the fact that they lead one of the three largest Yakuza groups in Konohagakure, and dealt in things like Senju DNA, Sharingan black trade (rare) or even the drug trade. Their affiliations in this field are obvious to those involved, but to the outside world, it seems completely preposterous that the Minamoru, a powerful and high 'n mighty clan is involved in this. Besides that they were a huge economical influence 11 years ago, because they owned more or less 60% of all of Konoha's economical centre with Minamoru Enterprises. The remaining 40% is, thankfully for Konoha, not theirs since the other Yakuza groups were trying hard to wrangle control away from them. The fact that they own most of the economical centre should probably say enough about their economical influence but this is not to say that all this money flows directly into the pockets of the Minamoru clan - bribes, wages, etcetera all is paid from these funds. Finally the political aspect of the clan, which was not as big as it's underground or economical influence. Never the less it's still present - the fact that the Minamoru are a shinobi clan in essence (though, that is debateable very much so) gave them a small influence, and their alliances with other clans, as well as their feuds with some of the others, are a reason that they were politically well regarded, though not as high as the Hyuga or the Uchiha, or even the Uzumaki's although those have recently been more forthcoming towards the Minamoru. Ever since the death of Reijo at the hands of Fujitora Choko, the clan has fallen, and fallen deep. The only Minamoru of relative high stands are the shinobi, and even those have been falling ever so slightly. The only two remaining shinobi with a grain of honor left are Reijo's children - Rei Minamoru, a 25 year old medical kunoichi, and Yamato Minamoru himself, the heir to the clan after his uncle passes away. Never the less the clan has no estates left - all financial enterprises, shops, financial buildings were given away by Fujitora Choko to rival companies to ensure that the Minamoru held Yakuza group received no financing. Their political power waned as Reijo was the politician of the clan - the other Minamoru were regarded as too hotheaded and his uncle was a drunk, so he barely did anything with the clan. The Minamoru are barely a remnant of themselves, if they can even be called that. 【Relations】 Naito - the Naito clan is one of the clans that the Minamoru have been feuding with for the longest time. The feud started about 200 years ago, when both the Minamoru and the Naito were relatively new to Konoha. Ever since it's been dubbed the Feud of the Tiger and the Dogs. The long standing feud hasn't subsided just yet as members of this clan frequently clash - be it with words, swords, or politics. No longer applicable. The Naito clan is wiped out. 【History】 The Minamoru clan was founded quite recently compared to the other clans such as the Uchiha or the Hyuga. They were not part of the original founding clans, and migrated later as a result of economical changes. They weren't originally shinobi but quickly managed to adapt into a Shinobi clan effortlessly. They were comprised of highly driven individuals that wished to become the greatest at, more or less, whatever they attempted. It didn't always succeed, actually, more often than not, but you only need to give one glance to the current status of the clan to see how far they kicked it in those 200 years, compared to the Uchiha. Never the less they don't quite fit into Konoha - they are not so much underhanded, and wouldn't do anything to directly harm Konoha, but they are very self centered and do anything they do for the clan or themselves, not for Konoha. Konoha is simply a means to an end for them. Never the less a feeling of pride and honour is also common place in the clan so Konoha needn't worry about the Minamoru betraying them. They do what they do for themselves, or atleast so they say, but deep down most of the Minamoru are quite self sacrificial, especially the shinobi. Those that aren't in the shinobi trade are often a whole different breed of people, mostly simply normal people and civilians. In short, that means they have a tough skin, cussing, feuding, and appear somewhat rude and cold. Underneath that however are people that deeply respect tradition, hierarchy and self sacrifice. They might not show it but it's definetely there. Moving on, they also don't fit Konoha because they are very outspoken against kekkei genkai - and sadly for Konoha (or the Minamoru's, depending on who you ask) there are plenty of clans with kekkei genkai's. This has been reason for them to be a bit of an outcast-clan compared to others, distancing themselves from main Konoha, living outside the village. Up until the mid-years, between Sarada and Boruto's births, and current situation, they were insignificant, standard fodder clans. However it was then that they broke through with the arrival of the ronin, that fueled the underground Yakuza operations that some of the Minamoru were involved in. Due to this they suddenly raised in power unexplainedly, gaining more funds to further their political influence and economical presence. It didn't take long before Reijo took over 40-so years later, and furthered that all even more, expanding their influences rather rapidly. 11 years later, in the Hamajō Confederation, there's not much left of the Minamoru clan. All estates are gone, only the housing area remaining. Everything is, more or less, gone. Only Fujitora Choko and his 11th corps are to be blamed - that much any shinobi in the Minamoru clan will tell you. 【Rank】 Jonin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Yamato used to be seen as a thug or a criminal in the making. Not far from the truth given his father was the largest criminal in the entire village - something Yamato has no particular feelings towards since to him it was a way of life since his birth. However Yamato was never a criminal - he might've done questionable things during his services to the Hamajō Confederation but never anything that he'd consider criminal activity. Something else that characterizes him is his aggressive tendencies, as he is very very quick to anger and is, very much so, an asshole to everyone he meets. Those that know him for longer, such as Akio Tendou or Aoi Don Maquia will testify to this. Yamato is a bright young man, widely regarded in Konohagakure as a prodigy of attack. This is seen in his psyche as well, as the boy has shown aggressive and violent tendencies from time. Some would call it a short fuse.. and others call it being a thug in the making. Regardless of which is true, the boy also has shown impeccable resilience, steadfastness and a healthy dose of respect for tradition. Rumor within the Minamoru clan has said this is due to the amount of training that got instilled into him at an early age, and that he instills into himself daily even still. The boy also hates kekkei genkai for one reason or another, a sentiment shared by the entire clan, and some radicals even go so far as to wish those with a kekkei genkai dead. Yamato is a good student, and gets very good grades compared to those in the same years as him. He has shown a talent for, how could it be anything else, taijutsu and nintaijutsu, focusing especially on the offensive. This goes well with his aggressive nature and he is known to be able to take down opponents in a matter of seconds, although his defense is less than average. Despite attempts to convince him, his resilience has proven that fruitless. Then again, the boy has always been a prodigy and nobody has been able to prove that the boy might need a defense as well. This has affected his personality in a more or less negative way, although that is open to interpretation. The boy is somewhat- no, very arrogant, and while he wouldn't boast about his skills, he is fully aware of his status as a prodigy. This has given him the idea that he is above everyone else, and he has remained to keep this idea as he's been unhindered by anyone who could prove him wrong. Watashi wa Kami - in his eyes, he is God. 【History】 Pre Hamajō Confederation Yamato's childhood years were essentially a calmth before the storm. He spent his first four years as most children his age did - calmly in the arms of his mother, and playing outside. Then at the age of four, his father decided that it was time for him to become ready. Determined to make the clan greater than it already was, he hired a teacher who was to teach Yamato the basics about being a shinobi. No, he didn't learn any techniques, but learnt the mental side of shinobi's, namely rules, history and things you needed to know. This affected his school career indirectly as he had more background knowledge than most when he entered base school. During his time at base school he still had interest in making friends and preferred to learn techniques, practice taijutsu or throwing and fighting with kunai and shuriken. He often sparred with others, showing of his tenacious and aggressive nature in these matches. He often ended up fighting kids that were bigger and older, beginning to make a name for himself. He became a genin at the age of 12 like most others and went on to attend the high school to become a chunin. In that aspect, while he was a prodigy, he was like everyone else. During high school years he maintained a very steady level of training, to maintain his position within the clan which had grown by now. He became, more or less, the pride of his clan and family, and went unrivaled within the clan. In highschool he maintained a same degree of authority, although there were those that had problems with it, he found that he barely had any problems maintaining his position as the people that objected were often not even close to his level of mastery. Although this makes him sound like a hard ass, all he wanted was for people to more or less leave him alone. The only people he could really get along with was his own family. And even that was strenuous at times. Later, he became semi friends with Aoi, who had shown Yamato to be more capable than she let onto. Never the less they weren't ever close to friends - more so, being colleagues that enjoyed working together with each other more than if they had to work with others, the exception to that being Akio, who was Aoi's preferred companion for a long time. As for the hatred of people with kekkei genkai, it stems from the preconceived notion that people with kekkei genkai seem to think themselves special, untouchable or even godlike, and when you pair that with historical events focusing around kekkei genkai and being mostly negative (Infinite Tsukuyomi, Hyuga clan being a prime target to other villages), it results in a hatred that is widespread among this clan, which has seen it's fair share of bad luck to do with kekkei genkai during the centuries. Besides that Yamato is of the opinion that he could beat a kekkei genkai easily through strength and a superior will to work for something. Arrival of Hamajō Confederation During the arrival of the Hamajō Confederation Yamato played a part in the taking of the city. While he was defending the city at first, he switched sides halfway through after realizing that the Hamajō Confederation wasn't all that bad - in fact, it was better than Ayame and Fujitora. It didn't help that Fujitora was responsible for the death of his father - and in turn, the near death of his family. The Hamajō Confederation would have a larger chance to make his family important again. He arrived on scene near the 11th corps headquarters, which was where Fujitora was holed up. Finding himself trailing mostly behind dead bodies, he soon find the source of this - Yakoul. The cat-like person had slaughtered most of the 11th corps, including Saburo and Daiki, two people that Yamato had hoped to kill for himself. Above all, it had killed Fujitora - which was a crime in the eyes of Yamato, blinded by honour. Knowing better than to take revenge by attacking Yakoul, he simply boded his time. He got promoted within the Hamajō Confederation and is now a captain, or otherwise known as Jonin, largely in service at the Amegakure capital. However, recently he's received orders to go to the border area to investigate a compound, and meet with commander Yakoul, who'll be making further use of his services. 【Family ties】 Yamatos family was rather normal, if you keep in mind that he grew up with a family that was not only his father and mother but also included close relatives of those people. Given that his father is the clan head, he has always felt like the entire clan was his family, and not just his father and mother. As such he always felt a great drive to do well, for the honor of the clan. Furthermore the birth of his younger sister when he was 2 added to his drive as he was under the pretense that he'd get to, or even have to, teach her. Reijo Minamoru \| Father \| 43 at time of passing, Konohagakure, used to be often away on bussiness, was a politician and economist, it's said he has a pair of mistresses in any city. Mika Minamoru \| Mother \| 47, Konohagakure, restaurant owner and mother, she is a hard worker who never complains. Atleast she likes to think that she doesn't. Rei Minamoru \| Sister \| 25, Konohagakure, medical shinobi. Popular girl, but unlike Yamato she finds practicing boring and she'd rather spend her time away from home with friends. 【Dreams and fears】 Yamato secretly dreams of a world where there are no kekkei genkai as this would, in his eyes, greatly reduce conflict. Furthermore he dreams of making the Minamoru clan even greater than his father did, to outdo him in something that his father was already very good at. As for fears, Yamato fears causing death and dishonor to the clan, which goes without saying. Besides that he also fears losing respect from the clan and, to a lesser degree, to other shinobi of the Hamajō Confederation. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Yamato's fighting style revolves entirely around the attack, offensiveness and taking down an opponent with hard hitting blows. Defense is almost nonexistant in his style, as he barely needs it. He is extremely resilient, as mentioned before, and as such he can take a lot of hits of any kind without showing signs of pain. Besides that, he is also someone who never, ever gives up. As such he will keep getting up even if he knows he cannot win - an admirable trait to some and a sign of stupidity to others. Another aspect of his style is courage, in the form of never being frightened. He is going to be the first to jump into battle and he's going to do so with an aggression bound to shake hearts and silence voices. 【Ninja techniques】 B rank techniques: Katon: Great Fire Destruction C rank techniques: Katon: Great Fireball Technique 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Minamoru-shi: Nokori Onaji (Minamoru Clan: Remain the Same, 残り同じ) Rank: S Range: N/A Description: This technique is, more or less, what constitutes Minamoru's hiden. It was created by Yamato due to his reckless nature and desire to enter the fray as the first one in - which was a negative thing before. Now, that turns into a good thing. The technique utilizes a very very small amount of chakra, which gathes in a 'pool' of chakra within the user. In general, there's never been a time where the chakra gets used up so quickly in usage of the technique that it completely empties out. This passive ability consumes chakra at a very slow rate constantly, even when not in combat. Luckily Yamato's chakra pool is large enough to sustain it. This ability works through getting hurt - as strange as it may sounds - converting damage done to the user and turning it into raw power. In effect, that means that 'more damage input = more damage output' in simple terms. Muscles are stimulated by the damage, as well as the psychological will to fight on. This allows Yamato to press on past his normal limits - which were already extraordinarily high - and keep fighting even with broken bones, torn muscles or large gaping wounds. The drawbacks to this are, ofcourse, that he's going to be less accurate and skillfull, but more powerful. In short attacks will be more powerful but he'll have a harder time hitting, ofcourse that depends largely on the type of wounds too. That's not to say that he heals them instantly - if he receives a mortal wound, he'll die pretty much if he doesn't receive treatment regardless of the jutsu. But receiving wounds does make him stronger, both in how he feels and how he actually is. It doesn't make him less mortal - but he sees him self as a God. Would he believe he's still mortal? Jutsu name: Minamoru-shi: Chakurabāsuto (Minamoru Clan: Chakra Burst, チャクラバースト) Rank: A Range: 5m-10m Description: Releasing one fourth of the chakra stored in his pool for the Nokori Onaji technique, he releases a pure burst of chakra out of his entire body, causing a shockwave of chakra. This shockwave can extend between 5m and 10m, dependant on how large his pool currently is. The shockwave is powerful enough to send shinobi that don't hold themselves down on the ground flying, sending lightweights (80<kg.) flying atleast 20 meters at high speed, and sending heavyweights (80>kg.) stumbling out of the shockwave area. Objects are sent flying away too, such as kunai, leaves and other random items in the area. The jutsu isn't incredibly damaging on it's own, dependant on objects in the area. For instance, in an empty dirt field, there'll be no objects to send flying, and no objects for the enemy to crash into. So, damage will be reduced to perhaps some light scraping from scraping on the ground. In a forest, or a densely built in city, the damage will be more extensive, given that the enemy might fly into trees, rocks, buildings, roadsigns, etcetera. Jutsu name: Katon: Great Fire Fists Rank: A Range: Close Description: The technique begins by creating a short series of seals ended by a Tiger seal - although since this is Yamato's signature move, he has perfected it to the point where he doesn't need to form the seals any longer. After this the user flicks his wrists and they are set ablaze. Not yet taking a shape the user must focus the chakra around this area for a short period, in the case of Yamato a second or two. After this is done the fire becomes hotter, akin to a bunsenburner in heat, and the fire will take the color blue as a result. The resulting heat is enough to roast skin even if it's not touching the fire, and enough to severely burn anyone that gets in direct contact with the flames, enough to cause third degree (yes, that hot) burns when you get directly hit by a punch of this technique. Anyone standing nearby Yamato will feel the heat emenating off of the boy, whether they are friend or foe, before he leaps into the battle. The fire takes the shape of a lions head, akin to the two guarding lions that stand outside most wealthy places or places of public interest. Jutsu name: Katon: Great Fire Extraction Rank: A Range: Close Description: Yaoku's Revenge sets the user ablaze for a short time, appearing to others as an explosion. In reality it works as a distraction, while the user cocks his hand back which is then lit ablaze. The single hand will be heated up so much, that it overpowers even the Fists of a Tiger technique, heating up to the extent where it will be able to melt both skin, muscle and bone. The intensity of the technique requires so much chakra that it is pretty much useable only thrice. After the required heat is reached, a matter of seconds for Yamato, the user lunges forwards through the explosion he caused himself and launched his fist into the enemy, melting skin first, then fat and muscle, and finally bone before the hand cools down. If used effectively, and the hit connects, it will be a tremendous attack able to incapacitate or kill most enemies. But it requires accuracy, something that is often lacking when an enemy is moving around, and also because the explosion caused by Yamato would obscure his vision. Besides that, the attack leaves him rather exhausted, so that he'd have to retreat from the fight, something that Yamato could obviously never do. As such it's likely for him to overexert himself after using this technique. Jutsu name: Katon: Great Fire Bind Rank: B Range: 10 meter in front of Yamato Description: To be used in conjuction with the Great Fire Extraction technique, but useable on it's own too. This technique is not neccesarily a fighting technique, the sole technique in Yamato's arsenal that isn't focussed 100% on the offense. However it is used as a runner up to a very offensive move. After forming a boar and tiger seal, the user holds the tiger seal while a set of 2 fiery hands emerge from his back, quickly coming out at a rapid speed. These hands will head for the enemy almost instinctively, and grab the enemy by the arm. Once grabbed it will be virtually impossible to get out lest you have a teammate that is able to free you or you work out a genius way to break free. Because the hands are made of flames you will receive slight burning although the burns will not be harmful whatsoever, akin to a D rank fire jutsu if not less harmful. The true fear you should have.. is the follow up jutsu. There is a slight reaction time between being grabbed and the start of the technique, around 1.5 seconds, but dodging will only end up causing the hands to chase you for a longer time. The only true escape is to get out of the 10 meter mark, but that will be hard with just 1.5 second to escape. It's possible for ninja's with above average jutsu, however. Another weakness, aside from it's length, is it's weakness to both water and earth defensive jutsu, such as the earthen walls or the water techniques that send out half an ocean. Using wind or fire against these hands is nearly useless, matter of fact it's counter productive because adding more fire to the arms will have no effect, while using wind based jutsu on them will fuel the flames, speeding them up even more. Electrical jutsu are useless, too, because electricity will go through the hands. An extraordinarily fast shinobi (read: faster than Yamato) will be able to dodge the hands initially and then attack quickly after if he times it right, because attacking Yamato and forcing him to release the tiger seal will stop the jutsu. However, if Yamato moves but still holds the seal, the jutsu will continue. The time it takes to form the hands and attempt to grab the opponent is all within 1 post, but the actual act of grabbing depends on it being dodged/ran away from, and as such can only happen in the 2nd post. Jutsu name: Fuuton: Greater Fire Fists Rank: C Range: N/A. Description: Technically not a technique on it's own, but still classified as one, the user will not have to form any seals, instead he simply has to augment fuuton chakra in his fists and release it into his fists of the Fire Fist jutsu. Due to Fuuton acting as 'fuel' (fuel for fire is oxygen, a source and burnable material) the fire will begin to burn even hotter, turning the fire blue and causing the area it's used in to appear 'darker' or closer to nightfall. This is due to the bright source of light making the environments appear darker than they really are simply because of the contrast or difference in lightsources. Even on a blue sky, clear lit day it will appear as if it were 00:00 midnight. The fists of the Fire-tiger will burn so hot, the radius at which the heat can be felt greatly expands and even those standing close to Yamato during the usage of this will feel uncomfortably warm, and if they stay near long enough, might begin getting a serious sunburn. The main effect also increases, still holding onto the 3rd degree burns upon connecting a hit, but adding in the additional fuuton element of a highly increased knockback and a cutting effect, too. You will go flying most definetely when you get hit by this augmented technique, sending lighter opponents up to 100m away and heavy, fat opponents at a weight of 200kg about 30 meters. Furthermore, there will be slight cuts, as if you got hit by 20 kunai at once. Ofcourse, that's all superficial wounds - nothing life threatening, but definetely painful. Like most nintaijutsu, this is extemely destructive, but exerting at the same time. There is no real weakness to this technique, as it's not really a technique to begin with but more so an augmentation or reinforcement of another. As such, weaknesses of the Fists of the Tiger still exist, such as suiton jutsu or defensive doton jutsu. Even so, the usage of this extra fuuton jutsu will allow the user to simply brute-force his way past many of these jutsu anyway, most notably doton. Suiton will always be a problem for fire users and this technique is no exception. Jutsu name: Katon: Great Fire Bomb Rank: B Range: 7.5m Description: This technique is a secret trump card held in high regard by the Minamoru clan. Not many outside of the clan know of it, because it's a rather rough technique on both the victim and the user. The users can begin this technique by forming the Tiger seal, after which it cannot be stopped anymore. The user envelops themself in flames, starting out akin to any other fire technique and indistinguishable at this time, looking rather harmless. However this all leads to an explosion. An explosion of the user itself into fiery death. In essence it's a fiery suicide technique that will blow up the user plus anything within 3.5m of the technique, and will damage anything up to 7.5m around the technique. The bad side? If you use this technique you die. Jutsu name: Minamoru-shi: Jisatsu-ryō (Minamoru Clan: Suicide Charge, 自殺料) Rank: B Range: 50m. Description: Utilizing his Futoon element, the user 'boosts' his speed quickly by displacing air in front of him towards his back, to travel quicker similar to how an airplane gains lift. However, this technique isn't fast enough to create lift and neither is Yamato shaped in order to create lift.. However, this will give him speed. Using this speed the use pummels himself into the enemy ranks, most likely a larger group of enemies. The head on charge manifests itself into simply crashing into the enemies with limbs extended, punching left and right to get as many hits in as possible. Defense is NOT a part of Yamato's vocabulary. This can be easily protected against by, say, creating an obstacle like a doton-sphere to protect yourself/you friends (if you're friendly like that.) 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Backpack. Weapon, tool or object type: It's.. a backpack. Possibly filled with explosive tags. Description: It's a fucking explosive backpack bomb. Bag-o-bombs. EASY.
51,152	1,381	59	1,221	49	Tanji Tsugiharu Somewhere about the Village's Alleys and Roadways, Konoha Ame-Suna Border, Harvest Festival Tanji had expected to get his shit kicked in when the Hyuga grabbed him by the collar, but upon noticing some more pressing circumstances had let Tanji keep his teeth. “You're lucky that you're not interesting.” As the Hyuga pushed him back onto the ground as he hit a wall. Tell me about it, I could have died,, thank god for this perpetual social invisibility, Tanji sighed in relief as he got up to dust himself off. Honestly seeing the Hyuga's eyes that up close was unsettling, downright frightening to say the least and fortunately for everyone around the Hyuga finally relaxed. “You said you're in the intelligence group?” , Tanji looked around waiting for someone to respond, Cool, there's somebody else here from the intelligence corps. “Do you happen to be in the 11th corps?” Ha, thats funny Tanji was currently attached to the 11th intelli- oh, he was talking to him. "Yessir!" As he saluted into attention, not really sure why, the Hyuga wasn't his commanding officer. The Hyuga didn't acknowledge his response and turned to the group instead. “I'm gonna go see what is up at the compound. Feel free to stand around here some more like a bunch of idiots,” and began heading up the stairs to the compound again. And so, Tanji stopped standing around like a bunch of idiot, sheepishly looked to his comrades around him and would elect to follow behind them if they so chose, or briskly walk to catch up with the Hyuga's shadow, if no one else wanted to.	“I think he's dead -er, well, everybody else think he is, but now I'm not sure.” An unassuming man by most standards, not impressive or lacking in most aspects, just simply there. Short, if a bit rustled, brown hair, with a square face free of any scars or blemishes and average everyday brown eyes, in the academy you wouldn't really notice him in the sea of exceptional talent, but he gets by.Not particularly skinny, tall, muscular, just a healthy and acceptable male in his early 20's. Probably not going to amount to much beyond being a low-tier Jonin if he's lucky. Probably. Personnel files.

Tanji Tsugiharu has exhibited little to no extreme beliefs or jarring idiosyncrasies (which in itself might be one). The Confederacy has deemed him a loyal citizen of the state. He has a positive work ethic, follows rules and regulations to the letter save for the most exceptional situation (of which he has been disciplined and reprimanded as per the law). He is as kind and self-less as any bachelor of the confederacy is and is devoted to his position. 【Personality】 Rather mundane. Pleasant enough in many social interactions, and prefers to follow conversations rather than lead them himself. That said he has some good friends back in his home town and has made a decent few in his new post. Amicable to his clients, but oddly stoic and unfeeling when it comes to dealing with traitors and rebels. He prefers to spend his free time drinking with close friends in a quiet homely tavern or ramen shop, and has an odd fixation with karaoke. When off duty he spends his days with his small family back in his home town. In battle he is as serious as any good shinobi should be in those situations. He is selfless in his duty to the confederacy and has volunteered to be bait on multiple occasions on the condition that the battle ends quickly afterwards. When plans fail and battles are drawn out he doesn't panic too much, but 9 times out of 10 will opt to lead or support a withdrawal. "Live to fight another day." 【History】 Tsugiharu's parents were simple Chunin Guards with a Customs House on a major trade route, their duties were rather mundane and drool, but once in a while held excitement when travelers had disagreements with the customsofficer. The couple resided in a modest home after an unplanned pregnancy had made the two man and wife. It was tough going at first but the relative isolation and non-relevancy of the village made for a peaceful life, and they grew content and able with the new family. 14 years after the birth of their first son, and with much more financial stability the 2 deemed themselves ready for another son. The Tanji house lived peacefully for 3 more years until the dissent and turmoil of the Confederacy reached their village leading to a violent terrorist attack on the village's crossroads leading to their deaths. This left the 17 year old boy to care for his young brother, fortunately the Proprietor of the Customs House, who at that point was now an old family friend offered to shelter the 2 orphans until the 18th birthday of the elder brother who decided to not rely on the kindness of the Customs Master any longer. Such the 2 siblings lived in a shabby apartment the elder supporting the small family as a Customs House guard like his parents. He, Tanji Hamurato, would continue to support (and sometimes spoil) his younger brother as he took his own wife(Tanji Orimoto) and had a daughter (Tanji Ekka) of their own while was just starting high-school. Tsugiharu was an average student in his own right never excelling or lacking in any field or discipline. He was studious and forthwith at the academy but never went above or beyond what was required. His work as a Genin in his squad was also mundane sticking to class D and lower missions, in exception to one class C defense contract. Simply tasked with defending a local tavern from extorting thugs (non-shinobi rabble), the mission report told of the 3 genin having to deal with some thugs as the accompanying Jonin talked with the owners, but nothing really came out of it. However rumors that local gangster being rather jumpy, defensive and generally paranoid around small sounds and shadows circulated around the tavern's area. Come the Chunin exams though he displayed adept problem solving and leadership skills within his squad, but that might have just been in need rather than by ambition. He opted to remain quarrel-less and jovial with the other Genin and never really showed exceptionaltalent other than what was required to get through the trials. However it can be noted that during the elimination tournament that the young Tanji employed some rather harsh and quick measures using poisons, weapons and simple genjutsus to end matches before his opponents can truly pull out their trump cards. A good thing too, for the proctors had stated that if not for his "bag of cheap tricks" his opponents would have easily out-classed him had the fight dragged on. He was unceremoniously given the rank of Chunin, barely passing after having been defeated by the more Capable Genin that saw through his ruses in the final rounds of the tournament. After graduating opted to become a Contract work Shinobi unlike his family before him. He takes missions for the Confederacy as many times as he can, but seems to seek missions pertaining to the rooting out and apprehension of dissident and unloyal citizens and terrorists. Currently lives by himself in a modest apartment close to his work place. 【Family ties】 Lower-Middle Class, had some hardships for sure, but was never truly in danger of starving or dying of exposure. Such a life made Tsugiharu rather humble and soft-spoken. Hopes to keep up with his duties and occasionally visits his brother and his family. Tanji Hamurato \| Elder Brother \| (36), Kusagakure, Currently a guard at a customs house. Sanguine, always optimistic and smiling in many situations. Tanji Orimoto \| Sister-in-Law \| (35), Kusagakure, Housewife of Hamurato, Choleric, rather plain but has the charm of a country girl going for her. Demure and rather quiet in contrast to her husband. Tanji Ekka\| Niece \| 9, Kusagakure, Student, Mercurial, tempermental and extremely competitive. A bit of a tomboy and a much more naturally talented than her father and uncle in the academy. 【Dreams and fears】 Dreams of finally bringing the traitors and belligerents of the Confederacy to justice and hopes to finally see peace and order to the state. Fears of losing his family to the dangers that is the enemies of the Confederacy. Combat reports. Has a quite odd fighting style and might be the epitome of "work smarter not harder." Picks and chooses his engagements when he knows the enemy may be taken down quickly and with minimal loss. This usually ends up with him or a squad-mate in grievous condition so long the opponent is taken out before unnecessary damage is done to anybody else. Such operations usually include him stringing together a myriad of feints, illusions and gambits to ensure the enemy can be taken down in one decisive attack by his squad rather than prolonged engagements. This unfortunately makes him rather sub-par when caught unawares. As such he is most delegated to planned attacks on high value targets to either eliminate, apprehend or interrogate 【Fighting style】 Some might call his methods cowardice but it has kept him alive. He employs the liberal use of clones supplemented by heavy use of false sounds and images using his specialized study in illusionary genjustsu. He chips away at his opponents using small thrown weapons like shurikens and senbons to keep his opponent on edge and unfocused. While his genjutsu gives ample distractions and false visions he also uses fine rope and bells tied to said weapons to create snares and distractions for the slim but inevitable chance that his opponent finally makes a mistake.

51,153	1,381	60	1,663	1,134	UchihaAme- Suna - Konohagakure border The Hamajõ Confederation After noticing that Higoho wasn't attacking himself, but a poor soul disguised with a transformation jutsu, Kaori couldn't help but smack her forehead with her hand, weakly. It was honestly his own mistake, but Kaori still felt a little bad about the attack he took as response from the Hyuga- it probably hurt a lot. When the Hyuga continued, Kaori felt inclined to stop him, given there wasn't a need to continue the assault. She didn't though, as there was barely any time to do so; soon, the Hyuga just threw the boy against the wall and left, spouting that he was going to the compound and basically called everyone who was standing about an idiot. What a gentleman. Once the Hyuuga left, Kaori moved next to Tanji, rather quickly. She took some time to analyze the surroundings, her eyes (and by her eyes, her actual eyes - the Sharingan had been deactivated a while ago) quickly scanning the area around her. The Red Sages were content, apparently, as they began taking their leave. With the exception of a man, a tall, broad figure that was threatening to attack anyone that tried to get past him. The funny part, is that the cat-like person wasn't threatened in the slightest; rather, it was like it didn't even take notice of how powerful that man seemed. "Hey, are you okay?" After taking that hit, the answer was likely obvious, but oh well. Strangely enough, Kaori felt slightly tired and this feeling increased whenever her eyes passed past the remaining Red Sage. What's up with him? This is strange. After looking directly at him and then looking away, she could finally understand; her chakra was being trained by him, or rather, his eyes. A peculiar dojutsu. She turned her attention back to Tanji as she began making her way towards the compound. Kaori didn't exactly felt like being standing around like an idiot. Yudai KageyamaAme - Suna - Konohagakure border, inside the barrier Red SagesSo, this was the end. The Red Sages retreated for now, but one thing was known; their mission was acomplished and in the end, they emerged victorious. There were many casualities for now, and if they didn't play it smart, the Confederation would've massacred them. Luckily, while the majority of the Confederation's shinobi rushed to battle in the event's grounds, Seijo, Katsuko, Yudai and a few others made their way to the Compound and in the end, Seijo gave the commander a decent hair treatment. Nice. Yudai emerged from the ground a few meters behind Seijo and many other Red Sages, including Hisawaka Nori. Yudai had seen him a few times, but never caught his name or anything. Moving at a faster pace, Yudai eventually landed next to them and increased his speed to keep up - there was a shuriken piercing the back of his left arm. He wasn't brave enough to remove on it's own, really, and it was stinging like a bitch. moving his arm forward, he twisted it slightly to take a look, some blood was oozing from it, oh well. "Has any of you got a first aid kit? I'm bleeding and I want it to stop." Strange manner of speaking, monotome and he didn't even appear to be worried. He lowered his arm, the crystalline blue gaze focusing on the distance as he moved. He looked... Distant, as always.	Nero's Compendium! "Pillars are what support a structure, but if one ever crumbles, all of them will fall.” Yudai is a tall and somewhat imposing young man, standing at 5'8" \| 1,78m. His physique appears to be lean, but on closer inspection one could notice that he's in fact fit, with subtle musculature definition everywhere on his body. His hair is a dark brown color and often unkempt, as if he didn't care at all about the way it looks - this is slightly contradicting to the fact that his ears are pierced, which possibly proves that the boy does cares about his appearance. His pale blue eyes constantly flicker from point to point, rarely focusing on something for too long - some note that he always looks distant, as if not paying any attention to his surroudings. The Kanji on his clothes are 影山 (Kageyama, his family name). Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Every aspect of Yudai, at least externally and from his appearance itself, seems distant. His gaze is a constant reminder of this, given the way it roams the whole time, briefly pausing on his surroundings before he takes interest in something else again. Even when Yudai is directly talking to someone, he avoids eye-contact entirely and if someone even tries to stare at him or look directly at his eyes for too long, he'll become rapidly nervous and anxious and might even avoid the person in question for a while. Otherwise, Yudai is relaxed, but extremely observant. His mind is constantly noticing what is actually happening around him and thus, while others might see him as distracted and distant, he's the opposite. He finds his own life rather boring the majority of time which prompts him to search for enthusiasm on other things out on the world. He's also easily interested in hearing stories from others, or even simply listening others talk about their own life. He has his own ambitions of becoming a highly respected political figure or leader, one day. But on the way the world is currently, he shoved such ambitions away and for now, he's only focused on strengthening himself. 【History】 Yudai's birth came from the love between Reiko and Kohaku - sadly, however, Reiko died due to complications at his birth. While the expected outcome was his father to put the blame on him and give Yudai the worst life ever, in order for this story to follow the traditional hero backstory guide, the opposite happened. Kohaku Kageyama was a hard-working man. He used to be a powerful shinobi many years ago, but lost his left eye and his right hand was completely destroyed in the same battle, thus leaving him unapt for battle for the rest of life. The loss of his wife could've disgraced his life forever, but instead, he found new hope on his newborn child, Yudai - the name 'Yudai' itself, was to show the man's hope of a hero, not for the nation, not for the world, but a hero that would save Kohaku himself from utter depression. Which Yudai indeed did. As any other child, he was very, very curious about everything and from the day he began learning his first words, he'd frequently ask his father about everything. Even about the eyepatch the man wore on his left eye, about the bandages around the man's right hand - and when the man began explaining about shinobi, about the wars.. Well, Yudai only became more interested in it altogether. Often, Yudai and Kohaku spent hours chatting about whatever, the subject leaped from how eggs were produced to why the sky was blue. As he matured, reaching the age of eleven, Yudai slowly began developing a strange desire to be someone who had a high position. Power. He wanted to be esteemed in a way that people would admire and respect because of his achievements in life. Of course, it was too soon to think about that, and Yudai was a mere child with an ambition bigger than himself. For now, the boy focused on studying and training. He had taken an immense interest in shinobi. In fact, he spent more time reading about chakra, taijutsu and ninjutsu than he spent studying the school's subjects, which was the reason he almost failed the year. His father aided him when he could, he gave his son clear training routines and made him follow them strictly. He felt immense pride in his son following the same steps as him, while the same time, was divided with the fear that he could end suffering the consequences of a war - like the man himself did. But, the thoughts that peace had finally settled in eased that fear. When Yudai graduated, at the age of 14, he knew exactly that his dream of becoming someone with high power was indeed his true ambition. You see, he received quite the praise for being a dedicated student - even if he almost failed in the past year, he dedicated himself the most to studying this one and got amazing grades, impressing his teachers and father. When they openly talked about him and his dedication, his heart pouded inside his chest with what he could only understand as recognition. Time eventually passed, Yudai grew into a fine - and very attractive - young man. He noticed that women around started to take interest in him, perhaps it was the pale blue eyes, but honestly, he didn't care all that much. Yudai did had quite a few cases with one or another girl here and there, but it never blossomed into a true relationship, he was that type of guy. In fact, the older Yudai got, the more he found his life... boring. It wasn't no one's fault, truly. It was just that his ambition - it was something that seemed far away from his reach, impossible - it was as if he could fight his whole life for it and yet, he'd never taste it. Finally, Yudai finished highschool. It was the same year that he also offically graduated to a chunin rank shinobi - and the year he finally took interest in his own life, even if only just a little. It all started with one group... the Red Sages. Initially, Yudai was very confused about his choices, when he heard about the group, many wrong ideas filled his mind. But, then, he shoved them away - for he knew in the end, that it was for his own best. You see, the Confederation might've been good for the countries, but it left no option for those who wanted to be something bigger or greater. They had nothing for those who wanted... recognition. In the opposite spectrum, the Red Sages were everything; he knew from the start that if he put his power, his will and his life onto it, like an investment, he'd receive what he wanted in return. He heard it - could be rumors indeed, but they were fulfilling rumors of rebels seeking something greater than an illusionary peace. 【Family ties】 Kageyama is an old and traditional family. The majority of it's members were shinobi, with exceptions. They are divided, with a minor part living in Iwagakure and a larger part living in Konohagakure. In Konohagakure, Kageyama were known for running a restaurant which goes by the name of Yama-Yama. Kohaku \| Father \| 38, Iwagakure, retired veteran Reiko \| Mother \| 34, N/A, deceased Shou \| Uncle \| 30, Konohagakure, cook Rei \| Aunt \| 28, Konohagakure, cook Sora \| Cousin \| 17, Konohagakure, attendant Rin \| Cousin \| 16, Konohagakure, waitress/chunin 【Dreams and fears】 Vague dreams that are rather difficult to understand, Yudai truly holds true to his desire of reaching a high position within society, one day. Not only that, he also dreams of becoming an extremely powerful shinobi, in order to ease his own path towards greatness. He fears of not being recognized, or being 'just someone else' - a faceless individual who has nothing, no respect, glory of power. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Yudai is balanced between taijutsu and ninjutsu, rarely resorting to weapons or ranged weapons. He's very intelligent and tactical in his decisions, as if he had read everything there was to read regarding shinobi (which he probably did in his early life). See, while he's quite strong in hand-to-hand combat, Yudai's first choice is to always analyze his opponent. He appears to be MUCH more experienced and prepared than he truly is due to the manner he keeps himself extremely calm, in any situation. To him, a battle is nothing too different from his daily struggle with life itself. Normally, his Doton ninjutsu is used as a defensive manner, instead of offensively. Thus, he'll always avoid ranged assaults with it. Sometimes, he'll use it offensively as nintaijutsu, but only if he finds a true opening to do so. What Yudai lacks is withstanding power. He might have defensive methods with Doton, but he can't take many hits - neither last too long in a battle. His stamina isn't the greatest, nor is his chakra pool; in most battles, he either needs to drop his foes quickly, or avoid in a way or another fighting after he begins tiring. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: N/A Description: Yudai does not possess a kekkei genkai. Strengths: N/A Weaknesses: N/A 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: -- B rank techniques: Doton - Doryūheki Doton - Iwayado Kuzushi C rank techniques: Doton - Moguragakure no Jutsu D-E rank techniques: Doton - Doryū Taiga Doton - Doryūdan Doton - Shinjū Zanshu no Jutsu 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Doton - Kotai no Hakai Rank: A Range: Short/Self - hand to hand range. Description: This powerful technique developed by Yudai himself allows him to concentrate his doton chakra onto his hands and arms, coating them with a solid earthly surface. This requires minor constante chakra usage, but it's not very taxing in the long run. What taxes Yudai's chakra sources, however, is the uses this 'chakra armor' has. When used offensively, Yudai can promptly force earthly spikes to surge from anywhere on his arms - fingers, hands, elbows, shoulders; thus, he make turn what would be an easily readed attack onto an unexpected one. Additionally, this also has defensive uses, meaning that when under assault, Yudai can place his arms together and create a defensive shield that protects him from assasults. This defense is powerful enough to withstand some ninjutsu (especially katon), but is ineffective against futon and raiton. The chakra coating can last for a long time if nor the offensive or defensive effects are used, but whenever Yudai chooses to use them, he'll be drained very quickly. Jutsu name: Doton - Jishin Rank: B Range: Long - a large circular area around Yudai (35m roughly) Description: Yudai does the following handseals: Bird, Dog, Ram, Rat. Then, he leans down and slams both of his hands at the ground, causing a large area around him to erupt onto a shattering earthquake, those standing around him will find it impossible to stand without falling - and falling, means taking huge damage as the doton chakra breaks the earth apart and makes them wildly throw about. The center, where Yudai stands, is completley unaffected. This technique might sound powerful and it indeed is, if used in the center of a village for example, he could likely destroy whole buildings easily --- but he'd be killed before major damage was caused, so this is just an example. Otherwise, agile shinobi who can leap and move far away from the area will easily avoid it. If Yudai is attacked or distracted, it will stop as well. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Can be a term, i.e 'kunai' or it can be a self given name, i.e 'Revered Razor'. Weapon, tool or object type: What type of weapon, tool or object is this? Sword, axe, kunai, knife, blade, tanto. Omit if the weapon, tool or object name already designates this. Description: Describe the weapon, tool or objects appearance, and describe it's potentials and weaknesses. tl;dr how powerful is it and what does it look like. Be reasonable. “I hate... ... No, seriously. I can't stand anything that tastes too sweet. It's.. uhng. Bad.” Kaori has an average height and weight, standing at 5'5" and 127lbs, she also has a slender figure with only slightly curves, though one might notice that she was rather wide hips - from likely training and improving her own body. Kaori has a round face, with large eyes, a delicate and small nose and thin lips. Her jet black hair falls well past her shoulders and is often groomed, kept well clean and it even smells nicely; though there are always a few wild strands here and there. She dresses rather simply, keeping a black and grey theme in her attire. She wears a high-collared black shirt, with a short grey jacket with the Uchiha's clan symbol on it's back, a pair of fingerless black gloves and black shorts, together with a pair of knee-high black boots with metallic platings on their nose.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Kaori is usually seen as a cheerful young girl who's still inexperienced to the world's hardships, but that's simply because of her manner of expressing herself; she's kind, even gentle to certain extent and isn't fond of conflicts, always preferring peaceful manners unless using force is an absolute must. That's not to say she's scared of fighting though, Kaori simply adores friendly spars and testing her own abilities- otherwise, she wouldn't ever take training as serious as she does. Despite her cheerful nature, Kaori is not exactly a social butterfly. See, she believes that being positive and keeping her spirit high is helpful to herself and to others in a way. However, it's very rare for Kaori to approach someone and talk openly, rather, she's quite timid and avoids talking unless she's talked to first and usually, being talked to makes her very happy. When it comes to her clan, the Uchiha, Kaori takes high pride in them. In fact, she believes herself superior but doesn't voices it - unless she gets too excited in a battle, to notice. She views the Sharingan as a gift, but only uses it in battle when she clearly needs it, given she has this slight fear of overusing or overshowing her doujutsu, especially in consideration with the events of the past that has led others to develop a distrust towards the sharingan. This same distrust, is what makes Kaori very cautious about talking to strangers, after all, there is still some prejudice against the sharingan specifically, given the events of the past, given the way things are - given the Confederation's actions against some of Kaori's brethren. Lastly, Kaori is very comprehensible and whenever she relates to someone, she tends to become very interested in developing a friendship. She has no interest in any sort of romantic interaction, after all, she's pretty sure she's not the one to gather that sort of interest, anyway. 【History】 Kaori's early life has been quite different than the usual. See, both her mother and her father are shinobi - both also very strict in the sense of pointing Kaori in the same direction as them: Which meant she was trained from the day she could walk. Kaori had two siblings, both boys, one older by a few years and the other, two years older than her. Their names were Kichirou and Keiji, respectively. Kichirou was an arrogant man, see, he had the Sharingan and that very motive led him to be, simply put, an asshole towards mostly everyone. Filled with pride beyond limit, he thought of himself as utterly superior - being a prodigy didn't help. Kichirou was way above the average when it came to shinobi, with only eleven years, he achieved the feat of developing a second chakra nature which was the reason he was then hailed as a genius. Kaori was only six when this happened, while Keiji was eight - he had just entered school. Usually, both trained together but Keiji was too focused at school, he had a peculiar desire of being an inventor or scientist - Kaori could never understand clearly - that draws him away from the training fields. This was frowned upon by her parents, more specifically her father. The man had this strange... desire to blindly follow the Confederation, claiming that the Uchiha had to be a strong clan in order to prove and... redeem themselves. Kaori would only understand that years later. On a cold night, a few days before Kaori's 7th birthday, a scene marked her forever. Through her window, she saw both her father and Keiji outside, having what seemed to be a small discussion. The boy held some books under his arms and was apparently refusing a 'gift' that Kaori's father was offering him - a katana. From the little Kaori could understand, Keiji tried to explain to their father that he wasn't interested in becoming a shinobi and that he believed there were other ways to help and be useful; in the end, all she could remember was Keiji being severely beaten by their own father while all she could do was watching. This forever changed the way she saw her father. War changes someone, truly. That was what had happened with Kaori's father, he was changed, molded by war. Perhaps he believed that it would happen again and wanted his offsprings to be prepared, perhaps it was something else, perhaps he was simply put, insane. Kaori never quite understand his fixation with training and becoming stronger, but what she could understand is that her oldest brother wasn't the only gifted Uchiha of this family, for that night, Kaori's anger and fear evoked a power hidden within her; she awakened her Sharingan. However, she never told her father. Instead, that motivated her to train more. It wasn't to please the man, no, it was to fulfill herself. Her older brother could be as arrogant as she wanted, but Keiji was always there for her, and she, for him. The boy returned to train with Kaori and for the first time in all these eleven years, she had beaten him - and very easily, too. The excitement and buildup of this whole spar awarded Kaori with a second tomoe in her left eye and brought immense surprise to Keiji, but he promised to never tell anyone. During school, all Kaori thought was when it'd end so she could return to her training; she wasn't a bright student, honestly, but Keiji who was seriously smart helped her a lot. When she was close to turning 12, her oldest brother was found dead within the village's borders. This utterly crushed the family, but specifically, Kaori's father entered a state of depression. He treated the whole family as if it was their fault and practically locked himself in his room for a whole year, very rarely getting out. During this time, Kaori had improved a lot. By now, she had developed three tomoes on her left eye, and two on her right eye. Her reaction time, reflexes and precision had seen a jump, and so had her genjutsu and ninjutsu. Her mother, a genjutsu specialist, taught her a few things which aided her. Keiji had been awarded a prize of best student of the year or something akin to that which Kaori never knew roughly in the same date Kaori's sharingan fully matured. The following years went by swiftly, Kaori trained and improved, developing jutsu of her own - while her older brother started working as a project analyst or something of the sort, within the Confederate. She received a pleasant gift from him on her sixteen birthday: A sword, Keiji guaranteed her that this prototype was much more resistant and that wouldn't break or melt easily as the many other swords Kaori had destroyed until now. He also mentioned that the sword was specifically made to withstand katon chakra - and lastly, he made Kaori an offer. To join the Confederate, given her potential as a shinobi. She thought for a while, truth be spoken she was quite afraid of becoming as crazy as her father, but the girl ended up giving a wild smile and agreeing with him. 【Family ties】 As an Uchiha, Kaori'll have ties with mostly any Uchiha, period. But they're all pretty vague apart from her own family itself. Takeshi Uchiha \| Father \| 53, Konohagakure, ex-Veteran, temporarily retired-confederate jounin Takeshi retired due to his trauma after his older son's death, he has yet to recover. Michiko Uchiha \| Mother \| 44, Konohagakure, shinobi - genjutsu specialist Kichirou Uchiha \| Brother \| 26, Konohagakure, deceased Keiji Uchiha \| Middle-Brother \| 18, Konohagakure, confederate project analyst 【Dreams and fears】 Kaori has yet to find true dreams and ambitions to follow. She's young and still looking for something to, well, follow. Maybe an ideal. Honestly, her fears are very vague, as well. She partially fears her own father, but her biggest fear is losing her brother Keiji, who has been the closest person to her since ever. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Kaori focuses on using Fire Release to dispel of her foes, burning them down, together with very efficient genjutsu provided by her Sharingan. She's experienced in hand to hand, but it's easy to tell her taijutsu is her weaker side - even with the added aid from the Sharingan abilities provide her. While Taijutsu is a weak spot, her Kenjutsu is noticeably better, as her movements with a sword are clearly trained and precise, especially given she can use her blade together with fire release in order to increase it's efficiency. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Sharingan Description: The Sharingan (写輪眼, Literally meaning: Copy Wheel Eye, Meaning (Viz): Mirror Wheel Eye) is the dōjutsu kekkei genkai of the Uchiha clan that appears selectively among its members. It is regarded as one of the Three Great Dōjutsu (三大瞳術, San Daidōjutsu, Literally meaning: Three Great Eye Techniques), the others being the Byakugan and the Rinnegan. Strengths: Kaori's Sharingan is fully matured, meaning that it has three tomoes on each eye. This means that when active, Kaori is granted both abilities; the Eye of Insight, giving her the ability to see chakra in different colors in order to distinguish composition and source, an incredibly clarity of perception, meaning that she can see even very fast attacks with some ease and she's capable of minimum predictive abilities, anticipating an opponent's next move or attack and lastly, copy jutsu - but only those she has the ability and knowledge to replicate. Secondly, she's granted the "Eye of Hypnotism", which means Kaori can perform what is generically called Genjutsu: Sharingan. While there are various manifestations and purposes of the ability, the better known one is to, through eye contact, suggest thoughts and actions to a target, coercing them to divulge information or act in a particular way, potentially without the target's awareness. In extreme cases, the Sharingan user can take complete control of the target's body, forcing them to do exactly as the controller wishes; this control is visually indicated by the Sharingan's design appearing in the target's eye. Kaori's ability with this is actually pretty good, a momentarily eye-contact with her Sharingan active is enough to put her opponent in a dangerous genjutsu. Weaknesses: The Sharingan is a worldly known Dojutsu, thus, everyone should be able to recognize it instantly. This makes the Genjutsu very hard to apply, as all the opponent needs to do, is avoid eye-contact. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: N/A B rank techniques: Katon: Gōka Mekkyaku Katon: Haisekishō C rank techniques: Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu D-E rank techniques: Genjutsu: Sharingan While Kaori is skilled to certain extent, she has yet to achieve a grand power-level with genjutsu used through her sharingan. In a brief eye contact, she can merely put her opponent(s) in a simpler genjutsu, that requires little to no effort to break them (if they know how to do so). If there is prolonged eye contact however, she'll be able to cast greater genjutsu. 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Ken Katai (Fire Sword) Rank: C~A Range: Self / Sword's Range Description: Kaori flows an intense blazing chakra through her sword's blade, coating the whole blade with it. The more chakra she uses, the more noticeable it gets given the sword's blade begins turning a slight shade of red - until reaching the maximum, a deep crimson color. The amount of chakra also changes the effects and their strength. If Kaori only uses a minor amount of chakra (C rank), the blade's cutting power increases slightly, the heat makes leave dents whenever it strikes another simple sword or iron object, if in contact with skin, it burn while it cuts. If moderate chakra is applied (B rank) her sword becomes denser and can cut through other swords of average material with some force applied. If it cuts, it will instantly seal the wound - preventing blood, but causing immense pain. With the maximum Kaori can achieve (A rank), the sword's heat raises it's potency to where it could easily cut through iron and even steel, as well as bones with ease. This technique, if applied on an average sword, would only last a few seconds at maximum potency due to how the chakra would also melt the blade it was applied to, itself, but Kaori can keep this technique up for as long as her chakra allows due to her own blade, which would be two to three hours with C rank, one to two hours at B rank, and only two minutes when it achieves the maximum heat (2~3 posts, depending on the time ICly). Jutsu name: Genjutsu: Burning Hell Rank: B Range: Medium Description: Kaori does the required handseals (Tiger, boar, dragon) while she takes a deep breath, then, she exhales the air in the form of a strange smoke that will divide and proceed to form a circle around a small area, before igniting ablaze. This fire, by itself, is harmless. However, if an enemy feels the fire's heat, they'll slowly fall onto a genjutsu prepared by Kaori together with this technique. The heat will increase even if they move away from the flames and they'll eventually increase to the point where it's unbearable, the opponent might try to take their clothes off, throw water onto their body, drink water - no matter, it will never work and the heat will only increase, eventually they'll feel as if every drop of water in their body has been dried and pass out, if the genjutsu is not broken. 【Weaponry, tools and objects】 Weapon, tool or object name: Hinõken Weapon, tool or object type: A katana. Description: Hikoken looks like a simple katana, with a red, beautiful handle. The sword is of excellent craft and it's blade is chakra resistant, allowing the wielder to flow their chakra through it - the blade is specifically repective to katon chakra, which is the reason it was given to Kaori. “Let's end this quickly.” As usual to Uzumaki, Naomi's hair is a crimson red, it's short - with two bangs framing her face and the back is spiky, styled per her own taste. She wears simple silver earrings on each ear and a thin black eyeliner, meaning that she seemingly cares about her outward appearance. Her eyes are a vivid green, intense and large, usually her most prominent trait when one looks directly at her face. She's always wearing a scarf around her neck, the color varies but she usually sports a mix of red, green, yellow and dark orange scarves. Naomi wears a sleeveless dark gray jacket with a simple light gray blouse underneath, a pair of red fingerless gloves that reach her elbows (the seals of her Kuchiyose: Raikō Kenka are placed on the gloves) and slate gray tight pants that are tucked onto a pair of black boots. Notably, the only visible color on the woman's figure is her scarf and her hair. Her figure is slender yet curvaceous, with notable curves adorning her body. Some satchels are seen; one wrapped around her left thigh, another on her right shoulder and a larger one on the right side of her waist. Personnel files.

Considered cruel by those who are more sensitive than her, Naomi takes the death of comrades lightly, analyzing it often with 'the enemy was a better shinobi than him/her', this is not entirely true though, Naomi feels the death of a comrade as anyone else capable of feeling would, she just keeps her suffering to herself and hides it entirely. Being so cold and closed off emotionally, it's hard to befriend anyone - not that she wants to, anyway. Naomi doesn't cares about forming bonds with others, surely there has been an increasing trend of forming bonds within the younger shinobi, but she denies them completely. She also doesn't care about hostility, insults or whatever else, she ignores them completely and even when provoked, she keeps the same stoic expression she always has. In battle is where her emotions flow with intensity above her usual: The adrenaline makes so whenever she's hit, she'll smirk or grin smugly, whenever she hits something, you'll see the same smirk but much broader than before. The more fast paced a battle is, the more she'll enjoy it thoroughly and the more she'll dedicate to the fight. Still, it's very rare for her to exchange words with the opposing shinobi, given her self-control that's dominant even above the adrenaline. Talk about dedication, Naomi is very dedicated to her job as a shinobi - and well, to everything else. As one of her philosophies in life, which is to do everything you do the best way you can, she truly dedicates herself entirely whenever she needs to do something and despises those who's nature is being lazy and avoid hard-work. She also tends to despise those who are gifted with power that requires no true work whatsoever; an example would be those who possess the well known dojutsu (Sharingan or Byakugan). This is a bit hypocritical given she's gifted with the Uzumaki's clan natural strong lifeforce and chakra resources. She sympatizes the most with individuals who are similarly hard-working and dedicate themselves in something and may be willing to interact with them, but forming any close bond is practically impossible as of now. Commonly, Naomi spends a good portion of her day training and improving herself. Distracting her from that usually ends with a huff or a sigh, or any minor sign of annoyance that she'll allow herself to do. Still, she won't scold anyone over anything, ever - she's calm and collected, after all, not arrogant and stuck up. She's actually pretty fine with aiding others if they need so (with training or whatever else), even. She may be a bit self-centered and cold, emotionally, but she's not a psycho who's only emotion ever is adrenaline while fighting. To certain extent, Naomi is capable of being friendly, it all depends the mannerisms of whoever she talks or interacts with. Highly concerned with herself, Naomi fears death above everything else, despite her otherwise cold demeanor and the way she enjoys fighting. When an opponent is clearly overwhelming and above her skill level, she'll... fear them. Of course, trained to hide her emotions, she won't show it at all. This extends itself to allies, out of all the things she's ashamed about herself, the fact that she couldn't possibly put her life in risk in order to save another's is her 'biggest shame'. 【History】 Two Years ago. Naomi's eyes briefly flutter closed, reopening to look down at her extended right palm, a hitai-ate with Konohagakure's symbol resting over it, together with blood that was slowly being washed away by the rain. The girl looks up at the sky, raindrops mixing themselves with the tears that silently made their way down her cheeks. She closed her eyes again. Next to her, was a corpse - a female, with a pale white hair, she was clearly dead - with some blood under her, slowly mixing itself with the water from the intense rain. Suddenly, the kunoichi falls onto her knees, she's completely wet due to the rain at this point. Her palms rest against the ground, pressing the hitai-ate firmly against it. She sobs quietly, but only for a moment before taking a deep breath to recompose herself. "Is this what I'm fighting for? This is what the Confederation has to offer me? THIS IS PEACE?!" With her left hand, Naomi punches the ground with all the force she could muster in her current state. It does nothing. "That's the very least the Confederation will offer you, my dear." A mysterious voice. Masculine. Naomi instantly stood up and held a kunai up, looking around her in an attempt to find it's source. She couldn't see anyone, at all. "We, the Red Sages, we only retaliate against the Confederation's attempt to CRUSH us time and time again. We provoked a war, but only to reclaim what's rightfully ours." The voice, this time, was directly behind her. When she turned, ready to strike the kunai onto the man, he had already disappeared, or so it seemed. He was so fast, that she couldn't keep up with his movements despite how close he was. When she turned, he grabbed her wrist and twisted it back, forcing her to drop the kunai. At this moment, Naomi knew that whoever this man was, he was powerful. Her eyes widened and her breath fastened, she was fearing the outcome of this: Her death. "Do you realize? My only desire was to explain you why your friend lies dead at your feet. Why this system, this PEACE is nothing but a bold lie, explicitly shoved down the throats of all brain dead imbeciles that follow the confederation's tyranny out of nothing but FEAR." Suddenly, the man threw her hand back, grabbed her by both shoulders and shoved her down, forcefully throwing the girl onto the ground. As she looked up, directly into his eyes, he smirked. Those eyes... The Sharingan of the Uchiha, most certainly. And then, she feel in a genjutsu; not to torture, not to destroy her. It was a different genjutsu, that Naomi had never experienced. She was seeing through his eyes - it all, whenever it was a lie, it was vivid and felt real. It... was real. And she could hear his voice in the back of her mind, explaining in detail what she was seeing. The struggle and suffering you are seeing, it's product of the Confederation's corruption. Of it's failed systems, of it's members extravagance and luxurious life. While he explained, she saw it all. Robbers risking their life for a loaf of bread, farmers struggling with what little they had... Then, acts of tyranny; overwhelming attacks from masses of Confederation shinobi against small rebel camps and not only that, they attacked shinobi and average folks alike, even farmers that were simply next to the rebel's camps, all were destroyed, nearly instantly. Some rebels rushed to defend themselves, but were quickly put down; there was a prominent figure that stood out in the Confederate's forces, someone Naomi knew. Then, darkness. Everything became dark. (You may close the rainymood now, if you were so kind to keep it open in order to increase immersion) When she woke up, she was in a crude basement of sorts. Crude, but functional. Many red-sage shinobi moved from a place to another, some carried wooden crates, others were simply chatting about. When she sat up, she was approached by the same figure as before: he looked far less intimidating. There was some movement, people stood up and moved away - soon, she was left alone with him. And then, the offer was made; to join them, or be set free. Strange, weren't they carnage-seeking devils? The man naturally explained their whole cause. In the end, after everything she had seen through the previous genjutsu, she couldn't refuse. Someone had to stop the Confederation. At first, it was difficult taking such an enormous step that changed completely her life - and the majority of the red sages distrusted her presence as a whole, being previously sided with the Confederation. But, on her first missions, minor or not, as a red sage, she showed that she had indeed placed her loyalty with them. After being showed the truth through such a brutal manner, it was difficult not to. As a side note, this is only the chapter which explains how Naomi switched sides. She's currently secretive about being a part of the Red Sages, nonetheless. 【Family ties】 Naomi's family was healthy until the death of her mother, which threw her father in an enraged state; he then became increasingly harder to deal with. The man took his own life when Naomi was seven, that changed her forever. Aika Uzumaki \| Mother \| 39, Konohagakure, deceased at the age of 26 Itama Uzumaki \| Father \| 42, Konohagakure, took his own life at the age of 30 【Dreams and fears】 Naomi dreams of one day overcoming her biggest fear, which is dying currently and she wants to find a way to stop feeling fear as a whole, knowing that such emotion is a result of cowardness. Note that overcoming death is not, well, dying. She just knows that clinging so much to her own life as a shinobi is rather embarassing. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 With an enhanced life-force and vast chakra resource, Naomi is certainly not above keeping a constant offensive on her foes, only falling defensive if she's overwhelmed or outnumbered. Her speed, agility, flexibility and reflexes are impressive. She has trained herself to have some great precision with her attacks, as well. From a medium distance, she's dangerous due to her shurikenjutsu prowess and in close-combat, she's a force to be reckoned with. Long distance, she falls short due to the drop in effectiveness of her shurikenjutsu. She also lacks effective defensive mechanisms, relying on dodging and avoiding being hit to keep herself safe. Her endurance is solid, as any Uzumaki - so is her stamina. In drawn out fights against opponents of the same level as her, she might have advantage due to taking much longer to get tired. Due to her chakra being vast, she's capable of utilizing the Shadow Clone technique, often gaining an advantage on single fights. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu B rank techniques: Kage Bunshin no Jutsu Kuchiyose: Raikō Kenka C rank techniques: Kuchiyose no Jutsu D-E rank techniques: Kaifū no Jutsu Kawarimi no Jutsu Shunshin no Jutsu 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Raiton: Kaminari Yoroi (Lightning Release: Thunder Armor) Rank: B Range: Self Description: Naomi covers her body is lightning chakra, using the lightning to stimulate the her nervous system. By speeding up her neural synapses, she's able to react faster, and to push physical prowess to the absolute limit, allowing for tremendous raw speed. This, combined with Naomi's natural agility and reflexes, turns her into a fearsome opponent while active; it also enhances her lightning release techniques, allowing her to perform nintaijutsu moves and react to things that she otherwise wouldn't be able to. The chakra usage is not as intense as it looks on Naomi, given her vast chakra resources, meaning that she can keep this technique up for long periods of time. Wind techniques can shut the technique down, even if temporarily. This techniques does not increase Naomi's raw strength, only her speed and reflexes. Jutsu name: Raiton: Keikai Denka (Lightning Release: Nimble Charge) Rank: C Range: Close Description: Lightning Chakra is focused on Naomi's arms and shoulders, she'll dash recklessly towards a foe with immense speed produced by the previously activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode and attempt to slam them with her shoulder. This attack is simple all in all, but it's effective given the speed Naomi travels from her current position to her foes' position. If it hits, the opponent takes both taijutsu damage and the electricity might shock them for extra, yet minor damage. It may also cause minor damage to Naomi's shoulder, too. Jutsu name: Raiton: Kaminari Shuriken (Lightning Release: Lightning Shuriken) Rank: C Range: Medium, long with less effectiveness Description: Naomi produces three handseals (boar, dragon, snake) before taking a number of shuriken onto her hands and channeling lightning chakra through them, after she throws they'll gain speed and piercing power, able to break through minor earth release defenses. If they hit someone, the opponent'll receive a much deeper wound than they would to an average shuriken, and electricity will shock their body internally, causing weaker shinobi to fall unconscious if they're hit by more than five or so. Stronger nin could easily resist this, though. Jutsu name: Raiton: Kiyomemasu (Lightning Release: Cleanse) Rank: E Range: Self Description: A simple technique that functions with the same intent as the use of Kai to liberate yourself from a genjutsu. The difference is that if Naomi notices herelf under a genjutsu, she can simply do a single handed seal, producing lightning chakra of her own that enters her body and, if need be, even travels to her brain's vessel network and eliminates any foreign chakra that is trapping her under a genjutsu. The difference between this and the average method of leaving genjutsu, is that this technique acts faster and only a single hand is needed, if she's paralysed or restrained. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Many, many shuriken. Weapon, tool or object type: Shuriken Description: They are shuriken, sealed and ready to use in a random basement. They're likely summoned when she touches her wrists, the end. Weapon, tool or object name: Some kunai. Weapon, tool or object type: A kunai. Description: Usually kept in the pouches she carries with herself. Useful kunai. Weapon, tool or object name: Explosive Tags Weapon, tool or object type: An explosive tag. Description: They're explosive tags, but she only carries a small number of them to avoid accidents. Kept in a pouch on her shoulder. Weapon, tool or object name: Wire strings Weapon, tool or object type: Wire. Strings. Description: Usually used in conjuction with shuriken for unpredictable effects.
51,154	1,381	61	323	3,236	Noriko HonmaAt the Harvest Festival, Confederate Noriko was looking at the still crumbling compound. She barely acknowledged the new shinobi who filled them in on the situation. Every thought was to run to Umary's aid. Instead she forced herself to look back at the other ninja, Masato. She inclined her head at him. "If you will be fine here, I'll be taking my leave." As she lept into the air she realized she hadn't given him her name like he had asked. She skidded to a halt and turned back around. "Honma, Noriko." She said brushing some of her red hair out of her face. "Remember it." With that she was off running again. As she ran she watched a few Red Sages flee in the distance, but since no one else was pursing, she didn't. When she reached the compound there was quite a few shinobi milling about. Either hauling debris or helping with the wounded. Noriko shoved past them looking for her sister. Praying that Umary wasn't part of the dead. Umary HonmaInside the Compound, ConfederateAs soon as the shaking stopped Umary was on her feet. She grabbed the nearest dignitary and tossed him boldly out of the room. From behind her she could hear a woman order her captured or killed. Screw that. Umary thought and quickly followed the dignitary. She hauled the man to his feet and shoved him down a corridor and then behind a fallen piece of wall. There she practically jumped on top on him and prayed no one would look too hard for them. Their breathing seemed so loud to their ears, but no one came after him. After a few minutes Umary climbed off the man and looked around. "They're gone." The man swallowed and followed Umary out of the building. She brushed a bit of building dust off her uniform as she left the devastated building. Her hand grabbed another of her needled when she was pulled into a full body hug. Only the red hair stopped her. "Nori." Umary gasped out. "Can't breathe." The medic complained. Noriko murmured an apology and let her younger sister go. Umary looked over her sister. She was pristine. There wasn't even a hair out of place. "Miss all the fun?" Umary asked in a shaking voice; trying to keep the horror from creeping in. "Na, scared off a few of the sages before heading over here. Have you heard?" Noriko continued to study her sister. "Heard what?" Umary's mouth went dry. Was is Chieko? Was she really with these murderers? "They killed the commander." Noriko was never one for mincing words. Umary shook her head, party relieved about Chieko. But it was still bad news. "Chieko?" She managed after a few moments. Noriko shook her head and the middle child exhaled. Loudly. "She's smart." Noriko said. "She'll be fine. Though not once I'm done with her." The fiery older sister smirked. "Anyways, I gotta go." She hugged her sister once more before vanishing. Umary looked over the destruction before walking over to the nearest injured person and began treating them. Cheiko HonmaRetreating, Red Sage Chieko's hear nearly leapt out of her chest as a light shinned in her eyes. Her hand crackled with lightning and she was that close to blasting Arima, as she twisted and stared at the shadow cloaked figure. "Did you want to die?" She hissed back, louder than her rival. Before ducking her head around the corner. Noriko was talking to two other shinobi. She pulled her head back and nodded. Her two remaining clones vanished with nary a whisper. She looked into his wild eyes and around once more. Noriko was now talking to another shinobi. She licked her lips. "Alright. I'm going." She slunk through the alley until she felt safe enough to be a little more exposed as she retreated. She didn't want to get caught anymore than he did.	The Honma Sisters “Power has only one duty - to secure the social welfare of the People.” Noriko is the tallest sister standing at five foot seven. She has long red hair and green eyes. She's rather fond of eye makeup and usually adds something to make herself look more intimidating. Like the rest of the women in her family, she is built like a rectangle. She's flat with no assets to speak of. On the trade off she is very densely muscled. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Noriko is the serious sister. She loves life and enjoys being a Ninja. However she isn't as competitive as her youngest sister. Nor does she feel obligated to be a Ninja. It merely was the logical decision in her mind. After all her parents were both ninjas and it felt natural to her. Overall Noriko is calculating. She comes across as cold to most people, but that's just because she doesn't care about them. The only people she cares about are her parents and her sisters. Sometimes Noriko has problems determining right from wrong. Excessive from light handed. She also enjoys having power over other people. Though she does know that's not quite right. She also know if she's not careful she'll go down a dark path. When things don't go her way, she will get even at a later time. 【History】 Norkio was the first born of her parents. Due to her parents both being Ninja, they were hardly around. Because of this it often feel to Noriko being the parent for her younger sisters. This propelled her to mature faster. Still, her nurturing nature made it's appearance and she never resented mothering her sisters. With taking care of her siblings practically a full time job Noriko didn't have much use for friends. Instead she dedicated her free time to learning ninjutsu and taijutsu. When she was of age she joined the ninja academy in Konohagakure. She pushed herself a lot harder than her teammates and it caused a large amount of tension. For Noriko wanted to be a chūnin as fast as she could, but her teammates didn't. Eventually she ditched her teammates to join another team, Daiki and Ichiro, going to the Chūnin Exams. Out of the three man team only Noriko and Daiki became chūnin. This severed all good will between Daiki and Ichiro. However during the exam Noriko and Daiki became friends which quickly progressed to lovers. Still it wasn't meant to last. Daiki resented how much time Noriko spent with her younger siblings and left her. Heartbroken, Noriko swore off men and instead redoubled her efforts on her shinobi skills. One day soon she hopes to become a Jounin and lead her own team. Currently Cheiko is missing and Noriko spends a lot of time trying to look for her. 【Family ties】 Noriko grew up in a ninja family. Her parents were often absent leaving her the responsibility to raise her siblings. This created a close bond between her and her siblings. All the women in her family, except Umary, are very competitive and hate to loose. Umary and their father are extremely laid back and often get walked over by the stronger personalities.

It ends up looking like a miniature sun and is typically only held at bay for show. Then, given any cue, the user slams the sphere into the ground, causing it to explode with the power of pure heat behind it. The user is unaffected by this burst of power, but anyone within the radius of the blast suffers some unsettling consequences, such a major to minor burns, alongside the devastating concussive force it sends forth. This technique, by sheer strength alone, has even been known to crack boulders. The technique will also cause head-aches, blurry vision and shortness of breath due to the change in air pressure and density. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Wakizashi Weapon type: Short Sword Description: An average short sword.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Umary is the cheerful middle child. She loves life and wants to enjoy it to the fullest. As the middle child Umary is often the last to be noticed. Sandwiched between two strong personalities she is often forgotten. But Umary often likes it best that way. She is often away from home spending time with friends. Because of this she was the most reluctant to become a Ninja. She would have rather not, but felt pressured it join. In the end she decided she could do good for shinobi. She is happy that the world is at peace. But the cracks in the peace worry her. Mostly her worries center around her sisters who are pulling opposite directions. 【History】 Umary was the middle child. Her earliest memories were of being taken care of by Noriko. It's strange, but her elder sister was always more of a mother to her. When her mother, Chou, actually began to be home for longer periods of time, it was an adjustment for all of them. At first Umary resented it. Her mother was a strong woman and often dismissed Umary out of hand because of her docile nature. Adding to her mother's return was the pressure to live up to their family's legacy. Eventually the desire to be loved and accepted drove Umary to becoming a Genin. It was at this point that her mother actually acknowledged her as a member of the family. Umary's time as a Genin wasn't the best time of her life. She spent a lot of time over at her teammate's homes and away from hers. In a way she was closer to others than her own family. It was during this time that she was happy to discover her abilities were like her father's. When she made the switch over to focusing on medical techniques life picked up. It was also in this same time period that her father returned from his missions and began to teach her his skills. Life of Umary was picking up. She had good friends. The love of her father. Noriko who loved her and Cheiko who was like a little puppy. With the help of her family she was able to pass the Chunin Exams. Ironically she was on the same team as her youngest sister Cheiko. As of the moment Umary is very happy being a chunin and has no further designs on upward movement. Still, she's using her connections to try and find Cheiko who's been gone too long. Though she suspects where Chieko went. 【Family ties】 Umary's parents were never at home during her younger years. Instead she was raised by her elder sister Noriko. When her mother came back home she ended up spending most of her time away from them and with her friend's family where she found nurturing environments. Because of this her bond to her family isn't as strong as her sisters. Though she loves her father very much.

She wants to retire in a small village and live out her years in peace. Maybe she might even marry a man who is a little simple and have peaceful children. Umary fears war. War in her family or war in the world. Both are equally bad in her book. She also fears death.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Chieko, as the youngest child, always feels like she has something to prove. She's usually quite grumpy and takes everything way too seriously. She's always getting into fights with her sisters or her teammates. She doesn't much care what other people think of her as long as they acknowledge she's the strongest in her family. Her fierce drive pushes her harder then her sisters. Her default reaction in battle it to punch it until it stops moving. The only one who can curb her violent reactions is Umary. Despite Chieko's unhappy disposition she loves her family very much. Her true goal is to protect them, though she'll deny it to her last breath. 【History】 Chieko was the last child to be born to her parents. Shortly after she was born her mother left on a mission leaving her to be raised by her sister. This lead Chieko to believe that she wasn't worth it, that she was weak somehow. When she was young her mother took a break from being a shinobi and took back over the household. Her father did not. It wasn't until she hit her teens that her father was around regularly. When he is home he spends more time with her sister Umary, who inherited his power set. Which Chieko resents. In her younger years she'd push herself to become better. Sometimes she'd vanish for days before returning with a new skill, be it tai- or nin-. She was always a challenging person. Always unhappy with her own skills and viewing herself as never being good enough. She ran Noriko around and tried her best to give her eldest sister white hair. During her absences Chieko saw first hand that the Confederation wasn't all knowing and good. She saw injustice and ended up joining the Red Sages. Despite being two years younger than Umary she became a Chunin at the same time. She will tell anyone who will listen that Umary only passed because she had Chieko on her team. Becoming a Chunin was a proud achievement in Chieko's book. And indeed, it was a proud time for her family. Her Eldest sister then challenged her to make it to a Jounin before she did. Chieko started to make a good effort on her goal. Until the day she left to official join the Red Sages. One day a few weeks ago she packed a small bag and left without a word. Even though she knew it would cause her family pain. But it was the only way to keep them safe. If they knew she defected worse might happen to them. 【Family ties】 Chieko was raised in part by her sister Noriko and her mother. Both treated her more like a student than a daughter. She always felt that they never thought she was good enough. She also resented her father for paying attention only to Umary.

You can measure this in 'long' 'medium' or 'short' but those are rather vague. If you want more depth, use a distance such as meters. Description: This jutsu utilizes electricity in order to create static electricity within the hands, this static electricity can have nearby things float to the users hands or repel things away with their hands. This jutsu is not offensive. It uses a lot of chakra if Cheiko wants it to be very strong. Jutsu name: Raiton: Yaiba no Jutsu (Lightning Release: Blade Technique) Rank: C Range: Short Description: This skill allows the user to charge chakra in the form of electricity in the palm. Then, the chakra eventually works up to the fingers, where a blade of electricity is formed between the index and middle finger. The blade is very thin, and depending on the user's chakra, anywhere from 8 inches to a foot long. It is around 2 to 3 inches wide, and it lacks a hilt. The blade is held between the fingers, but as soon as it is let go, the blade vanishes into thin air. The strength of this blade isn't as strong as a normal blade, as it is nowhere as dense or as heavy. But because the blade is very thin, it is capable of doing some major damage, if used properly. Jutsu name: Hikuhiku Eda no Jutsu (Twitching Limb Technique) Rank: C Range: Short/ Contact Description: After the user channels a large amount of electricity in to his hand, making the chakra visible, the user can attack a specific body area of his opponent and fire electricity into it once. Whatever area is struck the muscles immediately begin to constrict and twitch in extreme pain and causes the limb to be unable to move. Jutsu name: Denki Hifu no Jutsu (Electric Skin Technique) Rank: C Range: Short/Contact Description: Upgrade from Heki no Jutsu. Making a simple couple of hand signs the user makes sparks travel along their skin to power up lightning type jutsu's for 5 minutes. This move also makes it very difficult to make contact with the user for the danger of being severely electrocuted. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon name: Kunai. Weapon type: Knife Description: It's a throwing knife. Weapon name: Ninja Throwing Star Description: It's a throwing star.
51,155	1,381	62	2,400	2,978	Tetsuba Zaisette Harvest Festival - Outside the damaged compound. Zaisette slowly shifted his gaze back and forth between the two Hyuga as Setsuko spoke, appearing as if he were somehow offended by the performance before him. He wasn't, of course. Still, the actions of Tanji and Higoho were embarrassing to behold. "I've heard nothing of cats capable of anything beyond making a mess of their general surroundings," Zay mumbled, scratching his chin irritably with his left thumb as he overlooked the wreckage behind him. "From what little I've heard, I'd imagine that this Yakoul is good for nothing less. I think I'll take your advice." Though Zay wasn't exactly gifted with the knowledge to discern whatever the hell Yakoul actually was, the little he did know didn't give him much reason to think highly of the general. Of course, that didn't mean he was excited to confront what might've been his untimely death with a smug greeting. He'd prefer to avoid Yakoul altogether, if possible. "I don't enjoy the smell of feline dander, anyways," he quipped, avoiding eye contact with Setsuko, and lazily following Higoho with his eyes. “I'm gonna go see what is up at the compound. Feel free to stand around here some more like a bunch of idiots,” Higoho spat, crossing between him and Setsuko with a permanent aura of insolence about him. Zay cringed for a moment and exhaled through his nose, trying his absolute best to avoid scolding the stubborn brat. Actively holding back his snide remarks proved challenging, as he was barely able to hush the single remark he did make under his breath- shit furnace he rasped, inaudibly commenting on the load of feces that Higoho lugged around in that air-tight, super heated little brain of his. Fury like that could level a mountain. Thankfully, unlike mountains, most shinobi could move, or in Tanji's case, forsake their pride and beg like a peasant. When her clansmate was finally out of earshot, Zay turned his head back towards Setsuko, his eyes still fixed on Higoho. "Glad to know that the Hyuga clan isn't made up entirely of infantile hotheads," Zay hissed, looking back at Setsuko with relief. "I was about to lose a great deal of respect for your bloodline." Truth be told, Zay admired the Byakugan beyond most other jutsu that weren't unique to his clan. It had something to do with the direct similarities with the eyes of Tetsuba clan-mates, and the eyes of the Hyuga. Although there were no known Tetsuba Dojutsu, their silver eyes looked almost identical to the Byakugan, down to the pale grey pupils that Zay himself possessed. He stood lost in thought, glaring at Setsuko's eyes for a few seconds before snapping out of his nostalgic stupor and turning towards the staircase. "I don't suppose we're truly needed up there anymore, hm?" Before he could get an answer, Kaori approached the grouping and drew closer to Tanji. But he couldn't properly greet her as the girl passed them by to follow after Higoho. Zay's shoulders tensed up at the thought of more work. There couldn't possibly be much more to be done, was there? A hopeful though, really. Zay didn't know anything about the goings on upstairs, and honestly, he didn't care.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 In a word? Lazy. His lack of dedication, and methodical lifestyle is simply a byproduct of his mental lethargy. Zay is capable- Far more capable than most would like to admit, but his motivation does not match his potential. When speaking on his terms, rested and free of responsibility, Zay's speech is refined, polite, and he is very attentive to detail. In most cases however, Zay does not consider himself very 'rested' and acts completely aloof, purposely insulting the intelligence of others, and showing minimal interest in serious discussion. His attitude often causes conflict between him and his peers, making his life even harder than he already thinks it is, and perpetually forcing himself into a downward spiral. That being said, Zay perceives life itself as less than noteworthy, quoted as claiming the human heartbeat to be 'The body's most monotonous chore' on more than one occasion. Questions regarding his history or opinions on the general status of the Shinobi world are often met with a ballad of anecdotal references, and depressing metaphors that tend to highlight the negative aspects of being alive. Due to his seemingly infinite disdain towards basically everything, most perceive Zay as an angst ridden peon who cares nothing of his friends, family, or own well being. However, nothing could be farther from the truth. Despite what his nihilistic charade would suggest, he's a particularly caring individual that places tremendous importance on not only his own well-being, but that of all living things, and more importantly, the freedom they are entitled to. There's nothing more important to him than the heart that keeps him standing, and by extension, the people that give it the courage to beat freely. However, Zay prioritizes himself over all others. He claims that he would never risk his life, even if it were for the safety of a loved one. Truth be told, his attitude keeps him from actually developing any strong relationships, and his known family has been dead for years. Still, he considers his allies precious, and will do everything he can to keep their hearts beating if it doesn't end up putting his own life at serious risk. One could infer that Zay purposely distances himself from others to avoid the responsibility that coincides with friendship and romance, but since he is awfully secretive about his personal affairs, nobody's really been able to pry a solid explanation from his stubborn brain-case. 【History】 Zay's life started off rich with love and wealth. Born in Iwagakure, he lived out his infant years in the care of his mother and father, both of whom had little to worry about, easily living off of the funds that Ikaette Tetsuba, Zay's mother, earned from her career as a Shinobi for Iwagakure. Sadly, as expected, his mother eventually found herself caught up in the conflict brewing between the nations, which ultimately put her family at risk. As one of the few breathing Shinobi capable of advanced, and more often than not, forbidden Jutsu familiar within the dwindling Tetsuba Clan, interest in her Copper Release's industrial capabilities grew, and her family would soon find their beloved wife and mother, missing indefinitely. Zay's father took it upon himself to contact Ikaette's sister, Tskia, asking her to take Zay far from Iwagakure, hoping that she would be able to keep him safe. News of his death quickly rose to attention not more than a month after Tskia's departure, and left the Tetsuba Clan with only two living members. Tskia rose Zay as her own, treating him as the son she'd never had, and teaching him the basis of his family's ninjutsu. Even so, Zay was one to question every minute detail behind the lessons he'd received. this often lead to questions regarding the Tetsuba Clan, and by extension, his parents. Of course, Tskia was never at liberty to reveal much to Zay, in fear he'd get himself involved in the wars that might've followed the last. Due to the secrecy that enveloped his training however, Zay didn't take to his aunt's lessons very kindly, and instead spent all of his time training himself in the art of silver Release with his aunt's wisdom as a very loose basis. When the conflict between nations ceased, Tskia was beyond relieved, quickly adopting the ideals of the Hamajō Confederation as they took to power, and bastardizing the red Sages for their naive outlook on the way society had 'evolved' so to speak. She tried her best to instill these beliefs on a young teenage Zaette, but unfortunately for her, he was not concerned with her thought process on the matter. Fortunately, that didn't mean he sympathized with the red sages, either. His neutrality would prove a trying obstacle for Tskia to deal with in the coming years, and it strained their relationship quite significantly. Tskia would become more and more loyal to the teachings of Hamajō, while Zay would become less and less concerned with the goings-on around him, or his aunt. On his 14th birthday, it became painfully evident that Zay would not play any major role in the fight between Hamajō and the Red sages. That's what his aunt would believe, and to this day, that hasn't changed. At the age of 17, around the time that Zay had achieved the rank of Chuunin, Tskia had fallen fatally ill, and was home-bound. Although it was difficult, Zay was forced to support both himself and his aunt on what little money he could earn through the few missions he was approved for. Ultimately, Tskia passed away, leaving Zay to fend for himself. On her death bed, Tskia told Zay of his parents and their fate, along with the history of their family. Although he didn't change the way he behaved, his aunt's death, and his family's history took a serious toll on his inner thoughts, and changed the way he looked at life, and death. Zay, without a mentor, continued to develop his silver release on his own. Zay now spends his time conducting missions as a registered shinobi. When he isn't on assignments, sleeping, or training his jutsu, Zay spends all of his time outside, walking outside city limits as much as he can. 【Family ties】 Zay has no living relatives to his own knowledge, but it's likely that some have survived to this day. Regardless, he doesn't care enough to look into the possibility. 【Dreams and fears】 "I dream of a world where everyone can lay their backs against softened grass, and gaze at clouds without fear of fire or fist" "Spiders are horrible, but they kill moths, and moths are a plague on my very sanity" Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Zay harnesses the power of his silver release almost exclusively. That is to say, he refuses to even acknowledge Taijutsu, Genjutsu, and most other ninjutsu as a viable option of combat. Zay is proficient at close-mid range combat, with limited long-range options. He focuses on a iron-hard defense to compensate for his lack of ranged options. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Silver Release Description: Silver release allows members of the Tetsuba Clan to mold fire and Earth chakra natures into a shimmering metallic liquid, hence the name 'silver release'. This substance can be used in a plethora of different ways using subsequent jutsu as long as the user's chakra remains infused inside of the liquid, but without proper concentration, it is impossible to do much more than move it along the ground at a snails pace. It is also impossible to control this liquid if it travels more than 15 yards away from the user. If any of this substance leaves the user's 15 yard radius, whether it is in solid or liquid form, will quickly dissolve into raw chakra. Users can also reabsorb this liquid to replenish their chakra pool with diminished returns. Due to these limitations, silver release users are not very mobile, and instead rely on the agility and durability of their jutsu. In use, the silver liquid acts as a base for several techniques. The most common application is consuming opponents in range and smothering them to death. It can however be hardened to create temporary weapons, large scale attacks, barriers, armor, and various mechanisms relative to the user's knowledge of the technology they are trying to mimic. More advanced users of Silver release can sense the presence of other living things within their pool as long as they are connected by a constant stream of chakra, coat their entire body in an armor that removes their sense of sight and hearing but makes them nearly impervious to physical assaults, temporarily patch wounds by fusing the liquid with their skin, heat the liquid to boiling temperatures, and in very rare cases, transfer their body instantaneously from one section of their puddle to another with a delayed reemergence. It's rumored that certain Tetsuba could create golden, Copper, and even mercury based liquid metals, but nothing has been confirmed, and their lineage runs so thin that it's difficult to confirm or deny such rumors. Members of the Tetsuba Family are known to have very pale skin, reflective white hair, and silver blood. These effects appear to be purely cosmetic and otherwise have no effect on their biology whatsoever. Tetsuba Shinobi Strengths: Ray's mastery of Silver release is exceptional, and it wouldn't come as a surprise considering he does not practice any ninjutsu that would not coincide with his Kekkei Genkai. At his current mastery, Zay can keep a constant pool of Silver going at the full 15 yards from his body for a considerable amount of time before it begins to strain his Chakra reserves. His mid-close range combat is unmatched in many scenarios, disallowing easy movement within his radius without immediate danger. His liquid can nullify most wind natured ninjutsu, protect against some earth/water/fire natured ninjutsu, and offer substantial protection from most forms of attacks when hardened en-masse. Zay's agility with his silver allows him to cast jutsu in quick succession, giving the liquid considerable agility when he is focused. Weaknesses: Without a ready supply of silver, Ray is practically defenseless, only able to conjure weapons and small short-range projectile type jutsu quickly enough to defend himself. Even with a pool at the ready, Zay is incapable of firing ranged attacks outside of his range effectively. His mobility with the pool is also very slow, and he cannot travel long distances without being encumbered by his jutsu. While channeling a substantial pool of silver, Ray requires immense concentration, disallowing him to move his body too quickly at risk of his entire jutsu falling apart momentarily. If he is forced to dodge, or struck by anything that would interrupt his concentration, any hardened liquid could instantaneously melt back down into liquid form, and any silver under his control will fall back into his pool, including any weapons or armor he's equipped himself with. Additionally, his silver is highly-conductive, allowing lightning-natured jutsu to travel effortlessly along the entire expanse of the pool as long as it is connected, or close enough to allow a current to travel throughout. Certain Lightning-natured Jutsu can also pierce through any solidified silver effortlessly, and even destroy portions of his liquid. Conjuring the liquid, albeit quick, also requires an initial Chakra dump that nearly drains Zay of half his energy. Additionally, Zay can only sustain a pool for about 10 minutes before he runs out of energy, assuming he rations his chakra sparingly. 【Ninja techniques】【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Silver Release: Forge Rank: D Range: Short-Medium Description: Creates a weapon or device based on the user's knowledge and skill either somewhere in a mirror pool nearby, or in the user's hand using newly created liquid silver. The weapon's strength is on par with average steel, and resonate with Chakra very well. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Constellation Rank: D Range: Medium Description: Fires an array of tiny silver balls from either the user's mouth, or from any point in his mirror pool, with a width of about 15 feet. These have the potential to break skin and heavily bruise upon impact, but are not usually deadly. Can travel up to 25 Yards away from the user despite his limitation, but once leaving the 15 yard radius, they decrease in power to a point of absolute worthlessness. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Mirror Pool Rank: C Range: Short-Medium Description: The basis of Zay's Jutsu. Creates a reflective pool as the user's feet that spread out quickly. Can be channeled to extend the range of the pool, or to absorb the chakra infused in the liquid with diminished returns. This liquid can be controlled with the user's Chakra while it exists. The user can sense anyone touching the Silver if they are within his radius, and 'feel' their chakra network. All attacks within range, liquid or solid, are considered part of the Mirror pool. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Boiling Flow Rank: C Range: Short Description: The user instantly heats up a section of liquid silver for a few seconds. Effect persists if the liquid is solidified, allowing for heated jutsu followups. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Tempid Mail Rank: C Range: N/A Description: Covers the user's skin in a thin layer of liquid silver that can be hardened at will with other Jutsu types. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Solid Wall Rank: C Range: Short-Medium Description: Raises a wall at any point in the mirror pool to intercept an attack. Fast, but not effective as an offensive option. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Solid Mail Rank: B Range: N/A Description: Covers the user in a thick layer of hardened steel. Blocks nearly all forms of attack, but blocks out the user's sense of Smell, Sight, And Hearing. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Tepid Flow Rank: B Range: Short-Medium Description: Slices forth with a blade of liquid silver from any point within the user's radius, with enough force to sever limbs. Cannot break through guards, but will not be stopped unless blocked in its entirety; Due to its liquid nature, it will simply phase around swords and small shields. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Solid Flow Rank: B Range: Short-Medium Description: Launches a solid spike from any point in the user's mirror pool. The thicker the spike, the stronger, and slower, the strike. Often used in quick succession to create multiple spikes at once. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Tether Rank: A Range: Long Description: The user coats his hand in a rubbery silver, with a higher concentration of chakra, and extends it into a amorphous whip, which they can then fling around for about a minute before it loses form. While active, this tether acts as an extension of the user's chakra network, allowing it to exist outside the normal range of the user's pool, and increasing their pool's range to be 15 yards from wherever the tether reaches. This tether can also latch onto targets, including shinobi, but cannot be detached from the user unless they cancel the jutsu. Requires a large amount of chakra to form. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Zay carries no Ninja weaponry, and prefers to create his own.
51,156	1,381	63	2,089	1,979	Yakoul Kakariko The Confederation's General of Armed Forces The very super fucked Compound of the Festival While the kid it has just pointed at was pissing himself in fear, Yakoul was quickly perturbed by the 'Oi' formulated by the buff man who believed he could actually accomplish anything before the feline. In theory they could fight with each having their odds, but the chakra draining aspect made the outcome already very clear to Yakoul. The guy would likely be physically oriented given his stance, something that usually didn't bode well when the Confederation's beast was involved. Almost hypnotically, it kept swaying its tail back and forth whilst turning its sights toward the man again, its index still pointing at Nori. "Fuck you too." Is all it said before staring back at the now escaping Nori, the animal's finger following the Chuunin's silhouette until he'd be out of sight. Yakoul grinned, feeling like things were going to be pretty darn fun from now one, and now it had a little distraction to pass the time. Gazing directly into Katsuko's eyes, the creature retracted its hand. The man's words seemed serious, but Yakoul couldn't help but underestimate the creature it had already judged as naturally inferior. Not because he was human, mind you, but simply by their first shared glance. The animal cracked its jaw as per habit, before addressing the burly lad once again. "Okay. You killed the fucktard that stole my kill, bravo, you must feel extra fucking snowflakey today bub. Got me to stop fapping to the idea. Much appreciated. Now what? It's not like I'm running after your goddamn bitch boss. The fuck are you still doing here?" The confederate General placed its hand behind its next to perform a couple of cracks, while stretching its back. This in turn prompted a long and loud yawn, a funny contrast with Katsuko who was overwhelmed by stress and focusing on his stance even more. Finally, it stepped into Katsuko's range with a slight scoot, purposely trying to toy with the Red Sage's mind a little more with a more than just provocative grin on its face. "Like, seriously. The homosexual deviant over there could likely handle you, but there's also motherfucking yours truly and my two sexy gals behind me." Lifting its hand to the level of its shoulder, it pointed at the general direction of Tanaka and Mirai with its thumb, both seemingly cooperative enough to aid the animal in this rather insane endeavor. Once thing was clear though, Yakoul had absolute dominance over this situation and Katsuko had better be careful in what he'd do next, as the stories he may have heard about the general may very well be indicative enough of how unpredictable it could be. "The name's Yakoul, in case you were special needs at school. I guess you really are given you're trying to be a splinter up my ass. But I'm in a pretty fucking good mood, believe it or not, so I'll give you five seconds to get out of my fucking face. After that, gangbang. Oh and girls, mind helping me with the body, over there?" It chuckled, now making its way toward the commander's body with a slow but completely calm and regular gait. It was half expecting Katsuko to simply attack, which would be rather fun. Considering their distance, Yakoul could make great use of its tail to simply knock him off balance if he were to try and make a move. But give his allies were departing and Yakoul made no effort to pursue them, it could be an indicator that it was indeed time to haul ass. Arriving near the body, it lifted its right hand into the air with all fingers sticking ou of its palm and spread. "Five~" It said with the most normal of tones, followed by its jaw cracking for at least the fifth time during this whole confrontation. Arima Shuu - Tametomo The Red Sages Harvest Festival, Escaping Tsundere as always, Chieko gave that death glare while expressing a lethal comment he could barely make out due to the distance between them and the act that they had to stay incognito. It made Arima simply stare blankly at her, unsure if he was going to get another crotch kick when they'd return, but his infatuation did have some rather nasty effects on his common sense. Not getting a single clue, he'd just give her an encouraging grin before looking at various directions to see if there wasn't some sneaky confederate shinobi preparing a strike on the temporarily exposed Chieko. Luckily they were all too busy regrouping or being just a bunch of idiots to catch on, allowing the safe return of the female Red Sage. They were rather safe in this alley, or so they thought. The instant Ninko made his presence clear, Arima jumped and lifted his foot in the most accurate way possible, attempting to hit the guy at the side of the neck, only to stop his trigger happy reaction when realizing the guy looked like some average bloke. Except of course for the scars and all. Still, the unknown shinobi had Arima's electrified boot just centimeters from his neck and one false move would lead Ninko to brief paralysis, but long enough for Chieko to execute him without effort. Ninko warned them, something that could be seen as a friendly sign, but it was also completely obvious reinforcements were imminent. Hence why they planned for this operation to be as quick as possible. "Yeah, no shit buddy. Move a single muscle and you're dead. Give me a reason to not have us send you to Kingdom Come." He held the position quite easily, and would easily shift his position to have his foot cash down on the stranger's shoulder, not only breaking it but also zapping just as hard to make a finisher even easier. Or he could just tap the neck, yeah. Only for an instant did her turn his head to look at Chieko with a 'I don't like this' kind of stare. They didn't need this right now, and the best thing to do would be to kill him right here and now to insure their survival. "You have three seconds."

Buy Season Pass Now! “I'm gon' fuck me some motherfuckers.” 1m75 - 72 KG At first glance, it is almost impossible to not have any preconception regarding Yakoul's normal appearance, an issue that costed the lives of many. Yakoul looks like the typical cat-human people see in various media and have bizarre fantasies about, though the reasons behind its current for are a lot less fantastic. Everyone notices the white cat ears and the long tail, which various in size for no apparent reason, and would usually dumb it down as 'too cute to be threatening'. That's until they see its teeth. Otherwise it can also alternate its cat pupils, usually forming them when in combat. They're orange regardless of the form. Now that the kitty aspects are out, the next issue is ... Well the rest. Its silhouette is completely androgynous. Somewhat curvy bottom part but facial traits that look more like a young male teen's than a female's. Its chest appears to look more like pectoral muscles than breasts. The hair style doesn't help either, being short and curly/messy. Its gender will always remain a dark enigma those in the Confederation hope to crack some day. Or not. Freaks. In terms of attire, it wields a navy blue, long sleeved shirt with golden buttons in the center. An orange pair of shorts to keep its legs warm along with long, same colored socks that nearly reach the knees. It does not wear sandals, ever, but a pair of navy blue shoes it can easily slide on its feet without having to deal with laces or velcro. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Yakoul earned the title of War hero and trump card of the Confederation's army 11 years ago because of its genius regarding the Art of War and overall capabilities in the field. A lot of it is true, as Yakoul has never backed down from a fight (doesn't mean it never lost), winning against any type of individual conceivable, whether they are intelligent, dumb, strong or frail, it always found a way. This much praise made it a main figure to the Confederation's political and social life, despite all of it being based on prestige told by the Confederation itself. Many know of how ruthless Yakoul is, breaking the 'cute cat' image it once had, but the details remain rather vague and exclusive to inner circles. In truth, although it wields the willpower and charm of an extremely successful warlord, it is undeniably an unpredictable force of malice no one other than the top ruler of the Confederation has managed to tame. It holds the nickname of monster for a reason for anyone who has actively been an obstacle to the feline has lived the merciless and downright cruel fury of the beast. Only through tactical advantage does it show mercy, otherwise it has no qualms in exposing its perverted and sick mind to those it simply wants to rob something from. Ironically, apart from war, it is an individual completely absent of common sense. Mundane activities are engaged in the most eccentric and downright surreal fashion with this critter. Despite emitting one of the most foul presences in the entire world, it has a surprising way of illuminating rooms for people it shares a sense of camaraderie with to avoid getting bored. Indeed, it has a terribly thin attention span. Speaking of comrades actually, as monstrous as it may be, it built itself a rationale that gives actual human value to its close colleagues, only to use their deaths as a catalyst to fill itself with anger and many other emotions to slaughter superior enemies. Does it feel something when someone close dies? Sure, and it knows it, hence why it uses it. Keeping up with unpredictability, its behavior has been deemed so sporadic, it is impossible to truly form a friendship with it. Now the reason being that as much as it enjoys messing around when in free time or just during transition phases in a conflict, one thing will get it to laugh while another almost completely identical will earn the instigator an impromptu vasectomy. Needless to say, many have come and left Yakoul's squad not because of the intense battlefield, but by the insane moodswings. Did I mention its intuition? If it has a bad feeling about you, prepare to have a bad time. Needless to say, ti remains a really good judge of character, as would be any leader. This deserves the final paragraph and serves as a warning to everyone. Profanity is its mother tongue and has a very horrible accent when speaking. In most sentences, it will enter a pointless swear, and this increases depending on how passionate it gets. Add to that a shamelessly crude attitude and we have the most foul individual in the Confederation as one would expect. It doesn't always insert swear words, but they seem to illustrate quite well what its intentions are most of the time. 【History】 Yakoul has lived far longer than most people on this earth, all thanks to the inherited powers of its supposed 'cursed' clan. It didn't feel all that bad to it, quite the contrary, it got eternal life all to itself. The feline essentially saw history happen before it, not that it did much to actually archive it or even remember, it was just there, existing and eating whatever it attacked in a village, whether it be livestock, pet or people. Like many of its clan, it terrified the populace because of its jumps of rage and general disregard for their lives. Yeah no, Yakoul isn't this dual-personality type. It always lived as if its surges of violence were just it being in a bad mood rather than lack of control. Decades went on and it would only be when encountering a group a very strange looking individuals, nothing like those annoying shinobi that were sometimes a little too hard to kill. They were strong, but also quite tasty looking, and Yakoul liked that a lot. Wanting a piece of these people, its blood would quickly be rust to the blades of the leader's right hand. The animal didn't beg for mercy, but rather stared at the dominant being of the group, fantasizing on how it would have been great to have that body all to itself in its cavern. It was not because of its potential that it was spared, however, but because of its amusing appearance. The monster that would eventually be one of the pivotal figures in the war was recruited for looking somewhat like a cat. Well, "recruited", it served as decor for the leader's luxurious tastes. It wouldn't be until the first days of war that Yakoul would prove its worth as more than just a soldier. At first, it was simply sent on small missions due to its enhanced senses and general aggressiveness toward foes. It didn't mind, it had free food and could rip anything to shreds when asked. Doing dirty work was just a small repayment. Its talents as a war leader flourished when confronted to its first ambush. Somewhat devoid of extreme intelligence, it mixed what it learned through living so long and instinct to divide strategies to minimize losses. Though this time it was actual comrades and not food something it would protect in some cave or stolen house. Few casualties and a need to make a profanity filled speech to pump its men, Yakoul was given the title of General. Why? Because the leader could, not that it really earned it or anything. It just made its superior happy and proved its worth. Many events during the war were under its leadership, and generally it kept the upper hand and quickly understood the art of war. One could say it was more or less its destiny to hold such a position as it lived in relatively poor countries where small conflicts were rampant and only through strategy was survival possible. What would mark Yakoul as a war hero would be how it led its men to the doors of Konoha and in three days time, murdered with its bare hands the leader of the 11th Corp, the equivalent of Root at the time. Fujitora Choko was killed, and Ayame Choko, the Hokage, would have the same visit by Yakoul. Many speculate that Ayame was never there to begin with, but soldiers attest that Yakoul had killed her as well. Of course, victors are the ones who write history, so even knows if this whole damn history section is legit and not me making a BS Shyamalan on you? Thought so. After the war, Yakoul's been ... Quiet. Simply because the Red Sages have been too sporadic for it to actually care enough. It is mostly seen in public events with its master or simply to keep itself entertained. 【Family ties】 It doesn't have any known relatives. Unless you count every stray cat in the world. The Great President \| Master and Pet \| N/A - Amegakure Capital 【Dreams and fears】 Yakoul dreams to simply do whatever it wants the next day. As of now, it fights for its master in a more zealous manner than anything. But if its superior were to die, it could very well change its passion on a whim. As of now, it simply wanted to endlessly fight the rebels, over and over, and hopefully even die a horrible death at their hands. Not that it actively tries to die, it's simply a fantasy. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Swift and deadly. Yakoul's fight have often been rather quick, or at least when it decides to go on the offensive anyway. Most of the time it falls on taunts and easily evades and/or blocks strikes it can see coming beforehand. Easily finding the flaws in the techniques employed by the opposition, when confident enough it can end it, Yakoul will strike where it hurts the most. This of course depends on the caliber of the opponent, as those who prove to be a lot more keen on their moves will force the beast to actually prod something out of them with actual violence. When in its lethal mindset, it greatly utilizes its strong tail as a third member to gain an easy advantage on the enemy, as well as keep many of its abilities a 'surprise' for the enemy to discover. Because of this, it prioritizes close quarters combat 3/4 times, especially considering its Jutsu pool. The issue with it fighting longer and longer, however, is that it slowly loses patience and lets its more berserk state take hold, pushing Yakoul to lose a decent thought process out of anger and sheer brutality. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Juugo's Clan Kekkei Genkai Description: Many consider this Kekkei Genkai as the cheap counterpart of the Sage mode. Yakoul would of course strongly disagree. To start off with the basics, this KG enables the wielder to passively absorb Senjutsu Chakra (Natural Energy) all the time, leaving it with some pretty gargantuan chakra pools. The effects can often be dumbed down to bursts of anger and berserk states, but Yakoul has since grown accustomed to it. However, bien exposed to it for so long, it has developed animal-like traits similar to beings untrained in Sage Art that have absorbed too much Senjutsu chakra. In this case, it acquired feline traits. It is also the cause of Yakoul's massive longevity and seemingly eternal youth. Because it is mostly under control, Yakoul can freely manipulate its own body and expose select parts to 'curse' with his Sage Transformation. Essentially, it can manipulate the form of its body, sprout wings or grow axe blades on its forearms. The possibilities are massive, as long as they aren't too exaggerated. Chakra cannons are also a dominant trait in the Sage Transformation. Generally users of this KG can tank massive blows that prowl through their flesh and pierce their members without an issue as seen when Juugo not only had a massive hole in his arm but also his chest and recovered without an issue. However the more this ability is used, the less coherent the thought process Yakoul's approaches will be. As much as it is used to it, it will eventually lose grip and wildly attack anything if battles push it too far. Withering down Yakoul's endurance makes it the best tactic to make it a lot more dangerous and violent, but also more predictable and easily deceived. Strengths: The KG offers overwhelmingly high amounts of chakra as well as access to natural energy. Naturally users have immense strength, which only increases when enhancing certain parts of their bodies (easily rivals CES). Resilience and a particularly versatile movepool are probably the biggest strengths in there. The added bulk of the sage transformation can be compensated with the chakra jets. Weaknesses: Surprisingly has few, but the lack of control through continuous use is rather exploitable. When transformed, whether it is berserk or not, the moves appear to be more predictable and easy to anticipate, in exchange for simply more destructive power. 【Ninja techniques】 S rank techniques: 1 Compulsory Subjugation A rank techniques: 3 My Favorite Cancer Perfect Symbiosis Enhanced Scales B rank techniques: 4 Super Mega Ultra Go to Hell Cannons Fire Cannon Dash Genjutsu: Cat and Mouse Suffocating Haze C rank techniques: 5 Up yours: Style One Swiisssshhhhh Shotgun Special Lil' Sluggers Regeneration Absorption D-E rank techniques: 3 Hiding in Surface Technique Overwhelming Killing Intent Yakoul's Juinjutsu 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: I'm just fucking better than you! (Also known as Compulsory Subjugation) Rank: S Range: 0 - 50m Description: As Yakoul's Trump card, Compulsory Subjugation is a tool it prefers to use in very specific scenarios and often saves it as a 'Grand Finale' for people like Souji Tametomo. It manifests itself in three tentacle-like appendages emerging from Yakoul's spine with only the tips being of a completely black color, the rest remaining beige/gray like the typical KG transformation. They all hold tremendous strength with the capability of slapping away boulders with one alone and they can strength up to 50 meters. Though as strong as they may be, they remain easy to cut like flesh and inflict gargantuan pain to Yakoul when cut, and even more when being reattached or regenerating, thus forcing its stamina to plummet. But its greatest strength doesn't lie there. The tips are where the ability shines. They are ridiculously sharp, but can still be blocked by robust defenses. Of course once they manage to actually inflict damage, here the fun begins. If one were to be simply scratched by the tentacle, they could have a small piece of Yakoul's flesh in them, not big enough to be game breaking, but enough to bond with their flesh and bone of the area. A large amount of pain occurs as the incompatible flesh acts like a cancer and forces the muscles to tense and twist on each other. If done on an arm or leg, the bones would easily snap and rend the member worthless but it would end there (except for the pain), while if on the body, the organs run the risk of being completely ripped to shreds. The solution is simple, stab the area that was cut, the bleeding will cause a lot of the Sage Transformation flesh to ooze out. The blood loss won't be enough to kill but will render largely ineffective. That's if they can close the wound. If the tentacle is stabbed, however. Everything changes. Large amounts of Yakoul's own flesh is injected in the body, ripping apart muscles and bones as they go, essentially making it a game over unless a third party severs the appendage before it can completely possess the body. Immediate medical treatment can held control this, though the victim is decommissioned. If Yakoul possesses the individual entirely and destroys them from the inside out, they will evidently die. But only to revive as a mindless beast under Yakoul's command, like a pet. They would be possessed by the Sage Transformation entirely, looking exactly like the second stage transformation. They can use the same abilities they once had, barring tactics. The only escape would be death, unless some miracle doctor finds a cure. cough Jutsu name: My Favorite Cancer Rank: A Range: N/A Description: Similar to the Fission Technique, the function is similar, however it is interconnected with the Sage Kekkei Genkai. Essentially Yakoul splits itself physically to produce two teen-like Yakoul. I can go up two four with small kid versions. They are generally physically weaker as they go along and divide, as well as simply having weaker abilities (And the S rank Technique sealed). However they are capable of gathering natural energy individually and slowly grow. When divided by two, about 5 posts are needed for both Yakoul to be fully grown, 8 (4 to be teen sized) for the smaller one. When destroyed, they turn into puddles of flesh that glues itself back into a fission clone, giving back the chakra. When split they can't have more chakra than the average individual unlike a full Yakoul who can have an overwhelmingly high surplus. After 5 posts where they're fully grown, they're forced back into one Yakoul as the technique expires. Jutsu name: Perfect Symbiosis, Bitch. Rank: A Range: 150 KM Description: One could call this an extremely advanced version of sensory, but it really is a mastery of Senjutsu chakra to the extent where someone incapable of being a Sage could master it. Yakoul becomes 'One' spiritually with nature, which is everywhere, making it almost completely undetectable by sensors. Its chakra can be seen by Sharingan, Rinnegan and Byakugan, but locating Yakoul is extremely difficult in long distances. The only exceptions are either Sages or those with this ability (or equivalent). But this also gives a tremendous advantage in sensory skills for Yakoul. When actively using this ability, its pupils dilate like a cat's as it uses natural energy as a powerful sensory ability for both extremely long ranges and close range. When going long range, it is mostly good for finding very specific chakra signatures and presences in remote areas as well a detecting who is in what area and how many beings there are there. When in close range, it can essentially take over for sight and sound as it gives a very precise input on what approches, what form it has and how fast it is moving. Its enhanced sense of smell and hearing usually compliment the job perfectly. Jutsu name: Awesome as shit Scales Rank: A Range: Personal Description: Developed after killing Fujitora Choko, Yakoul decided to innovate a bit defensively, and thus also evolve offensively, by taking elements from the Heavenly Blood. Here, it must use Sage Transformation before this becomes possible. Yakoul is capable of having 'scales' rapidly grow on affected parts of its body by concentrating both senjutsu chakra and stamina to make them steel-hard. Indeed, it affects both the physical and chakra state of the user, making it something that can't be entirely recovered by passive natural energy absorbing. These can easily block non-enhanced weapons and take multiple hits from those. It takes stronger Ninjutsu to break through. The seconde usage it has requires a lot less stamina, almost none, but it loses all of its value. Using a bit of wind chakra on its pores, Yakoul can simply fire these scales in large waves like large, diamond-shaped kunai in a direction it chooses without actually moving. Being made of chakra they have higher piercing capability, but they are somewhat slower and more predictable than the ninja tools. Their strength mostly lie on the being ejected from anywhere at anytime. Jutsu name: Fire Cannon Dash Rank: B Range: 30m - 100m Description: A simple technique that utilises both Fire release and the Juugo clan's cannons. In this technique they're generally on the back and the elbows and take en entire post to charge with heat. Yakoul can still do whatever during that post except for cannon usage, but the increase in energy is very apparent. In the next post it can choose to either keep the cannons red hot for up to three turns before releasing the technique, and during that wait it can use cannon abilities but with a 50% penalty in power. When it it used however, Yakoul can travel between 30m to 100m in speeds that rival even body flicker, all the while being in control of its body. However it can only travel in a straight line, making somewhat predictable the first go, but extremely lethal if not ready. Jutsu name: Genjutsu: Cat and Mouse Rank: B Range: Sight and Sound Description: Yakoul's only real Genjutsu other than the basic stuff, which uses both visual and sound queues to make it exceptionally difficult to pinpoint. Here it will sway its tail from left to right while applying it, those who simply look at Yakoul will see the tail move regardless if they focus on it. The Yin chakra already has its effect and simply needs an activation. The sound required is a simply crack of its jaw, something it does all too often in a fight, whether it applies it or not. Breaking free is the typical methods, but it doesn't make one immune to it. The effects are simple, once affected, the perception of the victim is severely flawed. They will feel as though they are seeing through the eyes of a mouse, or any small critter really and the whole environment, including Yakoul is giant. As such, all they would see would be a giant Yakoul attacking them, its massive movements easily covering their whole line of sight and making it horribly tedious to predict anything. Jutsu name: Suffocating Haze Rank: B Range: Description: Fusing Wind and Fire chakra, steam-like incense that covers a large amount of ground with Yakoul being the center of it all. When using this ability Yakoul cannot utilise its other cannon abilities. The effects are simple, it imposes a powerful heatwave in the whole field and a bit beyond really quickly with a slight haze to make visibility harder for others. Plants, even trees, die in the first seconds of the technique drying up almost anything, the insects follow shortly after and animals feel extremely dehydrated. Bigger summons also feel the huge toll as their big bodies are confiscated of a large amount of water, making them just as susceptible. Trained shinobi can withstand it easily, other lifeforms not so much. Water techniques suffer the most from it, bring mostly dried up and losing most of their strength. Lightning, because of wind chakra infused, become a little weaker but mostly inaccurate in both targeting and usage (chakra control is simply harder). Wind Techniques suffer a similar effect to Lightning, being eaten up by the fire aspect. Earth suffers more slowly, drying up and losing solidity eventually. Only Fire techniques are enhanced here to Yakoul's advantage. Lasts for five posts, cool down for five as well. Jutsu name: Shotgun Special Rank: C Range: Close, extends to about 10m Description: A wind based ability that is mostly non-lethal (unless you suck) which consists in releasing strong air pressure from the cannons protuding from Yakoul's body. The released pressure acts like a shotgun shell, extremely strong push back when in point black, but loses it strength as it goes along. The effect of distance really depends on the individual strength of each, but it's generally meant to keep people away in a pinch. Also useful to eject oneself really quickly into the air or to a direction. Jutsu name: Lil' Sluggers Rank: C Range: N/A Description: Yakoul uses a much weaker version of the Fission technique, letting a bit of its flesh drop on the ground and ignite thanks to fire chakra. It quickly hoards natural energy to grow into a child-sized humanoid golem, similar to Deidara's puppets, as they start charging in at whatever Yakoul wants gone. They can morph their limbs and bodies to an extent, forming blades and bizarre/flexible shapes. They're slow and somewhat predictable, but damaging them will result in more of them coming back. It is being completely destroying them into sufficiently small pierces that the flames covering them overpowers their regeneration and they just die. They're more of a very annoying distraction than anything. Jutsu name: Delicious Grub Rank: C Range: Close Description: This deserves some explaining. In a large battlefield full of NPC's, this technique essentially allows Yakoul to recover from non-fatal injuries easily as it barely requires any chakra and simply uses to heal its damaged body. So some specifications are needed. In order to fully absorb a body and heal major wounds it needs to be immobile for two posts, as in it can't move from that point, but can still use jutsu and so on to defend itself. Jutsu name: Overwhelming Killing Intent Rank: D Range: Up to 5 KM Description: Yakoul's aura is so foul and its chakra levels massive enough to have nearby individuals actually feel the pressure of its bloodlust on their shoulders. Only the strongest shinobi around will not fear a tint of fear as their natural instincts would force them to have when confronted to such a deadly predator. It is capable of using it from pretty big distances when it is stalking certain individuals to put them on their guard all the while destabilizing them. Jutsu name: Yakoul's Seal of Approval Rank: N/A Range: Personal Description: Almost exactly like Orochimaru's Curse Seal since it did come from the Kekkei Genkai after all. The Confederation saw great potential in this and made it possible for Yakoul to impose Juinjutsu on certain victims and disobedient followers. It doesn't spread it like free candy however, as it is also a source of power that could easily push unworthy individuals into berserk-like states and be an issue to society. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Tease Weapon, tool or object type: Claw Rings Description: A set of Claw Rings worn in every finger except the thumbs. Why? Because they're freaking cool. Also they're specially designed to have wind chakra channel out of the pointed blade form 30 cm air claws. They're hard to see at first glance and cut like any chakra enhanced blade (because its chakra yah). Weapon, tool or object name: Ninjato Weapon, tool or object type: Just a Ninjato Description: Just a Ninjato is carrier around for no reason. Weapon, tool or object name: Awesome clothes Weapon, tool or object type: Clothes Description: It always wears the same clothes, and they can survive being burnt and its super transformations. They don't protect from damage, they just prevent you from seeing Yakoul naked. “By the honor of the Tametomo, I will fight to the death for all our freedoms.” 1m83 - 88 kg A rather tall lad with a well built body, Arima does have the looks on his side. Not the most attractive but that isn't his only asset. With black, almond shaped eyes and straight black hair, some would expect him to be some Uchiha rather than related to the Red Sages leaders. Not so broad shoulders but evidently trained arms and dexterous hands. In terms of attire, he takes whatever he needs to blend in, but often sticks to the Confederation uniform to keep as inconspicuous as possible as a shinobi. He's always seen wearing black combat gloves alone with these odd navy blue boots he wears instead of the common sandals. He's also fond of cloaks when executing covert operations despite having a mask at his disposal, he just likes it. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Arima Shuu - Tametomo 【Alias】 The Rising Sage The Great Red Sage's Cousin The Pussy 【Affiliation】 The Red Sages 【Age】 17 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Straight 【Birthplace】 Amegakure 【Bloodline】 Tametomo's Shuu branch 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 A pretty boy with a status that easily earns him social recognition. Arima doesn't mind utilizing the Tametomo name when in rebel grounds to pride himself over his lineage, something that does get him some female attention. Quite the hotshot and showoff with his rather advanced techniques he dedicates to his own clan, one could say he's the type of popular kid that everybody knows whether they like it or not. In the midst of his demonstrations and indulging himself in praises, he simply loves to maintain a cold and distant attitude, to play the 'mysterious' guy while saying encouraging phrases regarding honor and all that jazz. What most don't see however is that he is far under the expectations of the usual Tametomo, he's a pushover. Souji was quite the thing at his age and that's not even mentioning Tarara, both his cousins. He's very aware of this, as are some of his closer colleagues. He's aware that he neither has their skill nor inherited traits to make him as grandiose as they are. But instead of accepting himself, he remains deluded when facing the crowd of peers that stand in awe when he does anything really. At least this works with the newbies. While insecure, he's also somewhat of a coward, having barely ever been in the battlefield and lied more than once about his experiences. The scar on his lip is the one his family laughs about the most. As much as he may seem confident when playing a facade, he is devoid of any authority and presence. This is particularly true when he's into a girl that doesn't send back the feelings. He's hopeless and stammering. And the more he feels emotionally cornered like this, the easier it is for people to call him out on his bullshit. 【History】 Born six years prior to the massive world war, Arima lived a peaceful life before and after the events really. His family was largely protected by the heads of the rebelling force against the mighty crusading army. It was around age 8 that he developed this idea that he was part of a big family, like the Uchiha or the Kazekage lineage. That he was destined to help this world too by leading it to safety with the Red Sages. Becoming a shinobi thus became a thing, but he was quickly disillusioned when he realized it was rather tough. He put hi spirit in it sure, but often got discouraged when more talent prodigies bested him in almost every field. Nonetheless, this sense of pride remained strong, and while he was named Shuu and Tametomo was a pariah name, he knew that among the inner circles of his family he was seen as special because of this. Becoming a chuunin was a rather average experience for him, he always blamed his teammates for his shortcomings and hardly passed the exams needed. Nonetheless, he made it, and quickly backed out of as many Confederation activities as he could. He was entirely dedicated to the Red Sages and would demand to be trained under their own men rather than by the typical government bound shinobi. Eventually he'd be recognized capable of conducting covert operations, and in his first he was paired with an experience Jonin. The goal was simple, find and infiltrate a simple weapons barrack and set it to blow up. When Arima would tell this tale of course, it was one of the main secret warehouses for quality weapons manufacturing among other things. He didn't lie that the operation was successful however, and exaggerated the few patrols confused and searching around the area with multiple special Ops pursuing them through the border. But hey, details. Oh and yes, that's where he got his scar. The special ops offered a great version of this story, but the thing was that they had to stop their trip for a rest, and who said rest also said snack break. Being the idiot that he is, he tried to open the sealed can with his teeth since most of their tools were left behind to hide evidence. A beautifully vertical and bloody cut on his lip. Well at least the lid was silver like the blade of those commando ninjas. Nowadays he tells this tale, and many believe him due to mostly his status and the fact that despite not being on par, he is a pretty good shinobi who ca handle his own. Some of his teammates were still tipped off about the real events and see right through his make believe, but even while knowing that he tries to stick with the fake alternative to make himself feel better about ... Things. 【Family ties】 Being raised within a branch of the Tametomo, he's known to be related to the two great leaders of The Red Sages. Both his parents are alive and well and he has no siblings. They go under the surname Shuu to avoid any attention from the Confederation. Toroi Shuu \| Father \| 49, Amegakure, Former Chuunin and now door to door salesman Kurona Shuu \| Mother \| 37, Amegakure, Chuunin under the Confederation, serving as a mole for The Red Sages Souji Tametomo \| Cousin \| 27, N/A, Leader of The Red Sages, 1st Degree cousin with Kurona Shuu Chieko Honma \| Friend \| 15, Konoha, Member and colleague in The Red Sages, He hopelessly has a crush on her and they've been partnered before (strong synergy as they both use lightning) 【Dreams and fears】 He dreams of actually reaching the level of his cousins and maybe one day be worthy of carrying on at least some of The Red Sage's legacy. He's absolutely scared of his current condition, of not being good enough for any of this. He also fears the intense battlefield, the inevitable possibility that he'll die. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Obviously oriented toward a style of kickboxing, focusing primarily on the electrical nature of his boots to channel ninjutsu. He is rather speedy in his methods, going for quick hit and run strikes when he sees the opportunity, sometimes even being quite impulsive. He has a hard time making a decent strategy when under pressure, but when he has one, it's sure to make some heads burn. He often attempts to lands as quickly as possible a finisher move even if it wouldn't be the wisest thing to do. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Nope, All skill. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Cosmos Finale: Electrovoid B rank techniques: Shadow Clone Technique Tametomo Cosmos Style: Guillotine Wave Tametomo Cosmos Style: Storm C rank techniques: Lightning Release: Lightning Beast Tracking Fang Cosmos Style: Z-line Cosmos Style: Thunderball Cosmos Style: Hard Counter D-E rank techniques: Demonic Illusion: Lightning Flash Pillar 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Cosmos Finale: Electrovoid Rank: A Range: Contact Description: This time a strange, yellow lightning it focused on both Glorious Cosmos as if Arima was charging an attack. As usual, he attempts to strike down the enemy, whether they dodge or block, it doesn't matter. The energy is suddenly released and manifests itself as a bolt of lightning traveling randomly in a small radius. A wind attack or an explosion would quickly dispel it. However, if it were to hit a chakra entity other than its maker, it would disperse and be absorbed by their body. The victim won't feel any pain, actually, they won't feel anything at all. If this bolt manages to hit someone, they will be completely robbed of their sense of touch as their spinal cord and brain were struck in a specific manner. They will not feel themselves standing, making them lose all sense of balance, their members will move oddly whenever they're not directly looking at them. They won't feel themselves throwing the command to move and as such they can't know if their movements are coherent enough to make a simple gait. The effects last for three posts before the sense is regained, though even the most trained are barely efficient after this. Jutsu name: Tametomo Cosmos Style: Guillotine Wave Rank: B Range: Contact + 50m Description: Inspired by the famous Raikage Guillotine Drop, Arima charges a large amount of chakra on one of the Glorious Cosmos, making it flash in blinding bright blue. All he has to do is simply crash in a powerful downward kick, not necessarily like the Guillotine drop, but it needs to be well placed. The impact would be akin to a full powered chakra enhanced strength hit, causing a massive shockwave of electricity that would shock anyone in a 50m radius, though only slight burns and movement slowing would occur, the pushback however would be fierce. Those hit, whether directly or blocked, will inevitably suffer a large amount of lightning chakra striking them in all directions. This makes for really powerful finisher. The chakra taxing is immense, making it only possible to use twice in a fight as of now with a risk of damaging his leg. Jutsu name: Tametomor Cosmos Style: Storm Rank: B Range: 30 meter radius Description: By kicking a wave of about twenty Thunderballs in the air, they all stand at a halt around the field like a dome of some kind, endlessly spinning around as if Arima manipulated them. They can be popped, but exploding one won't cause a chain reaction strangely enough. Under Arima's command, they will suddenly stop and rush in to converge at a targeted spot. It isn't too difficult to notice them striking and to evade them, however if one were to take a hit, the explosion will be particularly deadly in the epicenter, usually leading to death or knock out. Within the radius, major burns can still occur as well as electrical sparks running through the body to immobilize and/or cripple movement for a short period of time. Jutsu name: Cosmos Style: Z-line Rank: C Range: Up to 50 meters in the air and down under Description: A somewhat more complicated techniques. Lightning chakra is focused on the Glorious Cosmos as Arima uses either the Ice Skates or Rollers mode. The start to flash a brighter blue as he traverses a specific trajectory, leaving a black line on the ground he came in contact with (even water). He can make one as long as 50 meters. The thing is, this line is charged with lightning chakra, and any large entity of chakra crossing it will have all the lightning stored in them zapped into them, like an electric wall. The effects are nasty burns and short term immobility. To avoid it, one must get over 50 meters over the line or 50 meters below. Jutsu name: Cosmos Style: Thunderball Rank: C Range: 0 - 150 m Description: A very simple technique that involves Arima making a simple kick, whether forward, upward, to the side, it doesn't matter. What occurs is that by molding a tiny bit of chakra in the Glorious Cosmos, he is capable of releasing a speeding ball of blue lightning the size of a basketball at the direction he kicked, going as fast as a shuriken. When hitting something, it will explode in an explosion comparable to an explosive tag but with the affect effect of electricity that can leave paralyzed for a short time and leave extra burns. They can easily be dispelled with a projectile. Jutsu name: Cosmos Style: Hard Counter Rank: C Range: Contact Description: A simple technique that involves Arima performing a perfectly timed kick on an electric attack, whether it is chakra or other. By perfectly intercepting the electricity, the Glorious Cosmos is capable of sucking out the bolt. However, this can only work if the attack is focused in one point that isn't too big and doesn't still hit Arima. Secondly, it can't be too strong, so B rank and under only can be drained. It fills in the battery, and in return restores a little bit of chakra. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Glorious Cosmos Weapon, tool or object type: A pair of enhanced combat Boots Description: A pair of navy blue boots that look completely ordinary at first glance, reaching up to about his knees. Whens responding to Arima's chakra, they get covered in a sky blue aura with electrical sparks visible from time to time. Once active, the Glorious Cosmos become enhanced by stockpiled chakra, making them as hard as chakra enhanced steel, thus more than capable of countering most weapons. This 'chakra' that is stored inside each piece is actually dependent of an individual battery in each filled with lightning chakra, but it can also be charged with normal forms of electricity. Now don't go think he can sponge lightning, not quite, but it can accumulate energy gathered through movement of any kind. The aura surrounded can thus continuously replenish itself thanks to movement, and as such can also deliver rather nasty blows too. The electric aura will defuse visible shocks of electricity, although not all that dangerous, they can leave burns and even cause violent muscle spasms if hit in areas near the heart and lungs. The Glorious Cosmos are capable of switching into different 'modes', going to rollers blades and ice skates for greatly enhanced mobility. Needless to say he's faster than the average shinobi run with this. As such Arima can easily use the ice skates to utilise them them as lethal blades when going close and personal. “Ladies and Gentlemen, and everything in Between!” 1m51 - 40 Kg With adulthood, Aoi had her look adapt to her new circumstances, giving a lot less of a child-like impression and one more akin to a woman thriving in her life. To start off, she dedicated her look to her usage name she employs in her job by dyeing her hair sky blue, going along perfectly with her naturally blue colored, dazzling eyes. The way she styles her hair varies depending on trends and demands from her current position, as of now she keeps the look on the picture as it is Myaka Shouho's main hairstyle these days. Untied they reach the middle of her back. She appears to be rather well pampered with quality makeup on during any of her outings and attires that are mostly seen on big shot magazines. Quite often with eye capturing colors, she purposely takes a more flashy appearance to please the demand of her viewers and accomplish her daily motives within the Confederation's News Network and Public Relations. In more casual circumstances where she either doesn't want to be recognized or is fighting, she's wearing a pair of high-heeled white boots, black jeans with a combat bet containing multiple small pouches, a black tank top and a white jacket over it. Her stature is rather small, but only 151 cm in height and rather light, she doesn't bode the muscle mass of many of her shinobi peers, but such bulk would only trample on her style. Her petite silhouette does demonstrate minuscule levels of strength, but her body is rightly trained in the art of gymnastics and flexibility. A malleable body that can adapt to many situations and adopt techniques a lot easier than one geared to toning muscle. Personnel files.

She still oozes positive aura despite what happened in Konoha 11 years back, searching for ways to make the situation better for everyone. While still having a need to be the center of everything, she did learn to let her attention gobbling and egocentric desires a rest. Nonetheless, she doesn't mind discussing various things she's achieved and something cut people off to express her sometimes misinformed opinion. She means well, but Aoi isn't one to be completely self-conscious either. Because of this, she can't be a social butterfly, but her powerful presence makes for unique charm and charisma to both sexes and her eloquence as a performer allowed her to gain access to positions that were only available in her dreams. Even things she doesn't quite understand, at all, she can make them convincing enough with the right look and her way of expressing it. A crowd pleaser for sure, all this attention and success have gone up to her behavior however. Now a seductress of the highest caliber, she doesn't mind dressing sexy to seduce those of the fairer sex she deems attractive. In spite of this, she's truly looking for someone she could end up with but fails to produce the exact result her now complex mind expects. The biggest enigma about Aoi would be her her brains, her intelligence. Although brainy with random trivia, she isn't the brightest one of the bunch that's for sure. Her vocabulary isn't too large and sometimes says things she just doesn't know the definition of. She's also ignorant when it comes to understanding more complex issues linked together and has trouble associating ideas, in a sense she isn't the most logical person either. This however comes into question when she clearly demonstrates creativity that surpasses a lot of conditioned shinobi. In the field, she is particularly efficient, at the level of her Prodigy counterpart Yamato, with usually very crafty and deceptive tactics used to finish off any type of foe. She doesn't outsmart them, but she pulls off the most unexpected of things while holding a large amount of skill. Despite this, Aoi is something that is easily influenced and holds her situation dearly. Meaning she can be manipulated through things like morals and people's views on her, as yes she actually cares about what people think. She is indeed loyal to the Confederation, but it can be broken given the right initiative by the opposing forces. 【History】 Before the Hamajō reign: Like many children living in an era of poverty in smaller countries, Aoi was abandoned by her parents a few hours after her birth. Fortunately the parents didn't randomly leave her at a home but instead confided her to the renown Don Maquia troupe as they passed the country. They knew leaving an abandoned child there would motivate them to keep it, as it was how they usually made staff. And so, she was raised in a gypsy-esque environment where travelling was frequent and work was every day, no real weekend. As she grew up, Jouro Don Maquia would not cut her some slack and initiated her to the realities of labor and hardships, but she never really complained as it felt normal to her. It didn't mean she was devoid of any fun, if anything fun was something they managed to develop during work and practice for performances. Usually by mixing the two, Aoi and her closest friend Mia had fun doing their chores while doing various acrobatic acts. She was happy with what she had, and couldn't care less about her biological parents. At one point, she'd be initiated to one of the troupe's secrets, a special way to manipulate chakra without being unique. She had a strong affinity for water, being from the Rain village, and naturally developed the abilities to hide in water and rain, but she had no knowledge of chakra otherwise. The basics were learned through usual practice, walking on water impressed many civilians, so it was general practice, substitution made great magic effects, fake clones too and so on. Chakra was something that enabled great success for the troupe, however the true secret revealed to Aoi's specific affinity would be her mucus ability. With it, she'd easily impress her audience while being exceptionally flexible in most domains. Initially, it wasn't meant to be a weapon, but through creativity, she managed to defend herself from low bandits trying to rob the troupe. Eventually reaching Konoha, multiple Jounin took notice of her unique capabilities that they had never seen before and offered her the chance to become a ninja. Realizing how it would approach her to her goal, she righteously accepted and moved on as a Genin without any Academy training (she was more than capable in entry levels). The only problem would be that she'd be unable to read and write, causing problems to her superiors. Sure she managed to learn most of it, but she isn't quite efficient at it, being a slow reader and writing so poorly it's barely comprehensible. She easily learns new lingo, however. After the Hamajō reign: Many events in Konoha honed her as a shinobi, built her as a lover and ascended her as a potential star. The war swept all that away, her skills were no match, her lover drowned into despair and all she worked for was tuned into ash by this coming of a new world. Disoriented and lost, she clung onto her falling girlfriend, Akio, who took the events extremely badly. Occasional abuse in multiple ways and the general change of behavior from the older one of the couple ended up infuriating the now disillusioned Aoi and prompted her to simply abandon the wreck once and for all. She hated this new world, it changed everything, and her naive self liked how things were. Now it was all controlled and safe, no risk worthwhile or a crowd to please as everyone was too busy to recover. Or so she thought. In reality her talents were exactly what the populace needed in this time of rapid reconstruction and loss. She had lost her masters, her friends and her lover, but the Phoenix would rise from its ashes and burn brighter than ever. Making a small reputation, she'd make herself known by higher generals of the Confederation, including Ryuu and Yakoul. Though she had potential, the genius that is Ryuu saw how malleable her mind was and simply offered something she couldn't refuse. Along with Yamato, she's one of the higher shinobi in the Confederate entourage, though she also holds a prime position in the Presidents inner circle. She doesn't have a voice in the matters, but she stands as the head of public relations, the face of the Government when the President isn't the one making declarations. To add to that, she's been given the position of primary news anchor for the Government's main news channel, or at least the most popular one, and is often given the ability to host other shows sponsored by the same channel. Because of this, Aoi's become a rather relevant icon to the Confederation. At a point during her career, she chose the name Fuegushi as surname to replace her previous one as a step through grief. Indeed, upon learning the fact that her childhood troupe had been missing now for years without a trace, she finally accepted they were permanently gone. 【Family ties】 Aoi's ties are rather strange to say the least. She wasn't raised by ordinary parents, but rather grew up as a carny along with the entire Don Maquia troupe. Her relationship with them is worthy of a sibling-type relation, as they grew up with her since she was in diapers. They did not object to her ambition of becoming a famous ninja, having formed her for such usage in any case. They continue to support her through letters and regular visits at Konoha. As of now, the troupe has been missing since the end of the war, many consider them dead, including Aoi who grieved them. Jouro Don Maquia \| Adoptive Father \| 67, Missing, The leader of the Don Maquia Troupe, regarded as the father of every member, he is highly respected and no one dares to question his authority. Mia Don Maquia \| Spiritual Sister \| 28, Missing, A professional acrobat in the troupe, she was Aoi's best friend and closest 'sister'. Bo Don Maquia \| Spiritual Uncle \| 55, Missing, The lion tamer of the troupe, he often took care of Aoi when she had fallen ill or when Jouro wasn't around. Guru \| Pet \| 19, In Aoi's big house, Aoi's attributed animal she had to raise. It is an elephant she often uses in her performances in the troupe. Akio Tendou \| Ex-Lover \| 29, Not here, Aoi's first girlfriend after changing her love interest paradigm. The relationship ended little after the end of the war as Aoi was simply fed up with her bullshit. 【Dreams and fears】 Having achieved her first goal of being a renown figure in not only a big village, but now the whole world, she only dreams of creating new and exciting things for the world to see. She tries her best to have people see the bright side of this world, to keep it intact. She fears losing this imperfect world and falling into the oubliette, or worst yet being seen as a devil for supporting a state that people were, for some reason, fed up with. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Sporadic and relying a lot of deceit to defeat her foes with grace. Aoi holds the idea of making her fights a spectacle, a show to be enjoyed, as such her fighting style has new been geared to manipulate the way they perceive things while making it a powerful experience for everything, whether it is good or bad. She uses her creative skills to have Genjutsu applied in the most unsuspecting of ways and circumstances, making her almost unbelievably difficult to reach at times. She enjoys employing her Hiden since it is her only ninjutsu weapon and often times only solely rely on it when going on the offensive. This isn't to be confused with the idea that she is a potent fighter up close. Though she prefers mid rage considering none of her abilities are efficient at long range and her small frame makes her vulnerable to close quarters, she is very well versed in taijutsu as a former circus clown and performer. Agile and swift with reflexes typical of an expert in the senses, she easily uses her martial arts skills to use the enemy's strength against them and lay them flat quickly. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Mucus Surprise Description: Although not a true bloodline limit, very few in the world are able to master this ability. Essentially it requires initiation from birth and at least an affinity to water, thus it can be classed as a form of Hiden. Rare societies such as the Don Maquia troupe have maintained its secrets. Basically, it enables the wielder to turn their chakra into different form of oozing mucus that can take the form of different imagined objects and have the properties of things such as rubber or gum. The possibilities are quite huge but the product coming from it is thick liquid-like substance that almost always sticks. Strengths: Generally it keeps the properties of rubber and gum, making it not only dangerously adhesive but strongly resistant to kinetic force coming from blunt strikes. When used as a medium to trap others, it is surprisingly lethal and effective. Strongly resistant to burns as it is originally made of water, conducts electricity poorly due to composition however. Weaknesses: Generally easy to cut through depending on the mass and density, which only require extra strength put into cuts. Those with superior physical strength can resist the stickiness to a great extent, even break it under conditions. 【Ninja techniques】 S rank techniques: Super Mega Magician's Secret! (May or may not have one. Will have it validated when I decide to give her one. Because I won't be using her as a PVP character yet, it isn't a big deal. I mostly want to introduce her.) A rank techniques: 3 Gooey Bungee! Jellyfish Sting! Mumbo Jumbo! B rank techniques: 4 Mister Spodes! Gooey Replica Mirrored Bizarro! Dance of the gallant C rank techniques: 4 Water Release: Starch Syrup Capturing Field Freeze Snap! Gooey Surprise! Snot Bubble! D-E rank techniques: 3 Water Release: Hiding in Water Technique Water Release: Hiding in Rain Technique Demonic Illusion: Double False Surroundings Technique *Basic Jutsu 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Gooey Bungee Rank: A Range: From 0 to 80 meters to apply it, maintained in over 200 meters Description: A transparent strand of mucus is created from her body and can be released from any point she desires. The strand itself can have one end stuck against a target she had contact with as much as she can have it latch onto something from a distance (by pointing at it or something similar). While being transparent, it has little to no texture and can barely be felt if touching the skin due to its lack of smell, taste or consistency. This mucus, however, is dangerous for many reasons. It can contract and release whenever Aoi desires (its her chakra after all), the contraction being exceptionally powerful like a form of 'super-rubber', allowing her to pull our push relatively heavy thing by simply connecting the strand to her index finger. The strength and weight of the target will determine the amount of chakra is demands for the contraction strength. She can also transfer it from her finger to say another target and have it contact, causing one or both the targets to be pulled and hit each other. She can use up to fifteen at once. They can be easily cut, however they do not vanish, making them susceptible to being reattached at any moment. Ripping it off would be logical, however if it was to contract, it would be relatively futile. On lighter objects, it can tighten itself to a point where it can act like a chakra thread, manipulating said smaller objects at will, though that doesn't mean she can be as precise as a puppet master. Jutsu name: Unexpected Reveal: Jellyfish Sting! Rank: A Range: Contact Description: A technique developed during the time when Aoi was under evaluation for "Jonin confirmation". Given the lack of examination, she was put under Katsu Hyuuga's care for testing. Forming a type of student - teacher bond, they grew accustomed to each other's abilities and were able to create this technique. Utilizing the same principles as the soft fist fighting style, Aoi either uses the tip of her fingers or the pointed knuckles of her major fingers to "spray" raw mucus chakra. Unlike Hyuuga, she cannot pinpoint it on either tenketsu or on organs to have a result, but she can have the raw chakra pierce through armor (still requires contact) and flesh and have it take solid form a second later. The result is mucus chakra clogging primarily the nervous system and somewhat of the chakra system (mostly efficient on members). If hitting an arm for instance, the nervous messages from let's say the elbow if hit there down to the hands will be blocked, essentially paralyzing the forearm. With the body, hitting the abdomen or the chest strongly reduces mobility to the point where coordination is difficult (members remain normal), the more it is hit the more one will feel exhausted. If the spine, neck or head are hit, they are instantly paralyzed. No matter where, the effects of each hit lasts for two posts. They are also very easy to counter with a strong punch considering Aoi's poor strength, making it an ability extremely efficient but ridiculously risky. The fact that it can just be substituted with a simple stab also gears this to a more non-lethal approach. Jutsu name: Mumbo Jumbo! Rank: A Range: Touch Description: Possibly the most terrifying jutsu used by Aoi and the 'magician's secret' she's never revealed to the public. This is a genjutsu that requires that her chakra enters into contact with an opponent, either via contact or through ninjutsu. With this done, the magic can begin. The victims become completely blind to Shinobi magic and are unable to see or feel Aoi's chakra, and by extension, the forms they take. Any form of ninjutsu she uses will appear strangely, but she'll often make it appear as though they're part of something else, like a trick to deceive the opponent and make them weary. Sensors can see their own chakra as well as chakra in Aoi's body, but not what comes out of it, as such they can see they're under a genjutsu, but when are they not with Aoi? Jutsu name: Mister Spodes! Rank: B Range: Can reach up to 20 meters (tentacles) Description: Using the same cloth as Abra Kadabra, Aoi twists and turns the handkerchief with blinding speed (such as a clown making a balloon animal) until it forms a hollow Octopus with a ^0^ face. It would only be when she tosses it while doing the Ram seal that it suddenly gets filled with a mass of mucus in it. It becomes about 2 feet in height and holds eight tentacles likes a regular octopus. They aren't very mobile and are generally very slow, however their tentacles extend rather quickly and can catch someone off guard. The mucus in the tentacles serves as a form of suction cup that keeps what it captures stuck in a tight bind similar to Gooey Surprise (with same limits). The Mister Spodes can easily glues themselves to the ground to prevent enemies from dragging them, essentially making them very useful seals to non-superhuman fighters. They die when their head it damaged (to the point where it leaks). Aoi can make up to four of them per fight and they can also be used as body replacement dummies. They also have a very eerie tendency to wail 'Boyoyoyoyon' quite often, no one knows how this is possible. Jutsu name: Gooey Replica! Rank: B Range: Self, Clone technique Description: Essentially shadow clone technique applied on mucus. The clones are composed of strange, green mucus and are able to move like regular people. They can also use mucus abilities with half the power of the original (in exception to techniques higher in rank than this one). When they die, they explode into a heavy mass of mucus that sticks onto anything around them, hence their use as suicide bombers to hinder the movements of an opponent. Up to seven can be made per fight. Jutsu name: Mirrored Bizarro! Rank: B Range: Smell Description: A genjutsu that depends on smell related activation. Because Aoi constantly wears a high quality Lavender perfume that ca be smelled from multiple meters away, she she exploits that fact to make it extremely hard to detect. In this circumstance, she performs a single hand seal, often doing it after doing another jutsu to make the enemy believe only one jutsu was made, but she actually makes her chakra adopt an aroma the same as her perfume. The smell is strong but hardly noticeable due to it being normal in her presence, but it deeply affects the perception of the people infected. In this case, everything they perceive will be inverted in direction, left is right, up is down. They will see everything this way, but the reality of it will be the contrary. The victim can pick up on it as they can also hear the real version attacking in the opposite side (as well as sense it via chakra sensing), but the illusion remains overwhelmingly real, and without a release, their reflexes will likely make them sloppier as it would seem as though they are genuinely attacked from the illusion. Jutsu name: Dance of the gallant Rank: B Range: Sight Description: A Genjutsu that is activated whenever the patterns on her umbrella are seen as they hold a hypnotic effect combined with her chakra. The effects allow her to create a replica of herself between 0 m to 1 m away from her, no matter the side. It will mimic movements typical of Aoi, however the true Aoi is completely replaced by the false one. This is usually made to confuse close range attackers, making them think she is capable of dodging everything before taking the right opportunity to strike. This can also be used to simply confuse any form of attacker into hitting the false image while th real remains concealed. Exceptionally deadly if the genjutsu isn't noticed fast enough. The image can of course move around as long as Aoi is in the perimeter. Jutsu name: Freeze Snap! Rank: C Range: Sight - Sound Description: Aoi forms a small ball of Yin chakra and simply tosses it in the air or on the nearby ground, only to have it pop like fireworks or a firecracker. The flash is so bright, it works as a flashbang. The effects are simple, those exposed regain their sight extremely fast, the flash was barely a millisecond, but they'll feel an endless buzzing sound in their ears with nothing else and the world around them frozen in time. Everything looks like the instant before the bang went out. Evidently a Genjutsu, it is easy to notice and Kai out. Jutsu name: Gooey Surprise! Rank: C Range: Close, in person. Description: A much more developed variation of the transformation technique. Indeed, the user covers themselves with a gooey layer of mucus capable of taking different shapes and sizes, colors and textures. The mucus is highly adhesive though, enough to make it act like quicksand: The more there's resistance, the deeper it gets, though it cannot be that deep because of Aoi's thin figure. It is very useful for trapping though not too specialized in hand to hand combat. Those specialized can use their techniques to break free with relative ease, though it doesn't mean that they're immune to the immediate effects. It doesn't give immunity to heat either, though it does slightly reduce overall damage, along with any other type of damage really. Jutsu name: Snot danger parade! Rank: C Range: Varies, close to medium usually. Description: By either using a specific hand sign or inhaling things like pepper, Aoi sneezes large mucus bubbles capable of swallowing more than one individual. The larger that it can get would be as large as a horse. Those trapped inside can easily pop it, however it would result in the bubble imploding, not only causing strong pressure to hit their bodies, rendering most to a rather confused and head aching state, while being covering in dense mucus stuck on the ground. This also causes smaller, human size bubbles to take shape. If the popping is made from outside, the explosion is general and hits everyone except those inside. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Fuegushi Weapon, tool or object type: Umbrella Description: A strange, light blue umbrella Aoi carries around with her. It appears to be the type en vogue these days, but her's holds a strange butterfly-like black pattern on it which enables one of her genjutsu. The handle can be removed to revealed a concealed blade, slightly shorter than a rapier. This Umbrella is capable of releasing a powerful kinetic force at close range when opened, making it capable of repelling powerful projectiles without even a recoil when the timing is right, making some unsuspecting close rangers stumble back in surprise as well. It is chakra enhanced and its fabric is strangely durable yet thin. Weapon, tool or object name: Magic Cards Weapon, tool or object type: Cutting weapon Description: A set of playing cards forged to be as sharp as a kunai, however lighter and more malleable. They are easier to use but weak in one on one blade fights as their small weight makes them easy to break through. They are perfect for assassination and tactically placed hits, however.
51,157	1,381	64	925	1,132	Miko-fag, Red Sages, Hauling Ass Mikoto saw Nori escaping, so he did to. The End Joking, joking. After seeing Nori jump, Mikoto nodded and thought to himself, "Good, he didn't take the bait. Now I can leave too." Yakoul could probably sense him, but if he hadn't gone after Nori, then Mikoto doubted he'd go after him. He jumped away and followed after Nori. Still, that amount of killing intent was just insane. Mikoto himself made sure to not let out so much, so that his enemies would be caught off their guard, but Yakoul let it seep out of his body, maybe as a warning, maybe to intimidate. He was unpredictable, so Mikoto didn't have him pegged as someone who'd use tactics like that. He saw him giving his report to Lady Tametomo and he decided to do the same as Nori, arriving and catching up with their supreme Commander. "Tametomo-sama, Amatsurahashi Mikoto, presenting himself before you, milady. My job is not intel, but I did manage to spot a considerably skilled, if unexperienced, shinobi of the Uchiha clan. I wish to discuss something about her if you would permit it so, but for now we should probably focus on the escape." Mikoto nodded once again after he was done talking. After that, Mikoto kept Seijo's pace all the way to wherever they would be heading. Pettanko Kanata, Undecided, Festival Compound "Please go away. Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease. GO. THE. FUCK. AWAY." Kanata thought. Yakoul or not, there was ALWAYS the possibility things might go south and only Mirai and her would be there to keep the guy in check. Yakoul's threats were intimidating, that's for sure. If it were Kanata, she'd already be in Kumogakure by now. This guy's dojutsu (she assumed it was a dojutsu) was extremely dangerous. Perhaps it didn't let him read the opponent's chakra or their next jutsu, but it sapped away the chakra of his foes. For someone like Kanata it was really dangerous to get into a fight with him and his strange ability. Mirai then approached her and asked if she had a plan. Yakoul was giving the man 5 seconds to escape. Yeah... she had a plan all right. "Yep, I have one. If he doesn't heed Yakoul's threats, then you start by distracting him with shuriken. I'll follow up with a water clone jutsu and make them charge at the guy. When they can get their hands on him, they'll encase him in a water prison jutsu and then Yakoul," She whispered the plan to Mirai, before turning towards Yakoul. "You get him. And hard. I wanna see his ass on the floor by the time we are done." She was sure that there was an incoming, 'and what if that doesn't work?' She'd simply answer, "We improvise."	I want a cool name for where I keep my characters too “Who might that handsome guy in the mirror be? Ah, it's just me.” Meet Amatsurahashi Mikoto. A young man standing at 1.79 meters who probably spends more time looking at himself in the mirror than actually fighting. His long red hair made into a ponytail is probably the one with the best care in the whole army, even among the women. His fair skin has so many layers of creams and other chemicals that some men think he'll explode if there's some fire near him. His blue eyes have never been seen in another state than their almost always perfect one in which Mikoto keeps them. There are some rumors going around that say his eyes can't actually be that pretty alone, saying that they MUST be using contact lenses. He is so picky with his food and training menu to keep his slim, yet strong build, that many come to take his advice on how to take better care of their own physique. Amatsurahashi Mikoto, the man who spends a lot of time trimming himself and is actually not gay. That is the man standing before you. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Amatsurahashi Mikoto 【Alias】 That one not-gay guy that seems gay AKA Metrosexual. 【Affiliation】 Red Sages. 【Age】 20 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Heterosexual. Might be willing to change in the future. 【Birthplace】 Kirigakure. The Village Hidden In The Mist. 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Have you ever met that one person that just seems to sing everything when he talks? That's the kind of person Mikoto is. A lot of people think he is annoying, but he just shows no signs of changing. Ever since he was a child he's had one rule with which he lives by. To never change himself even if others want to change him. Always remain true to the desires of his heart. He is that kind of whimsical guy. He loves art, music and just about anything that expresses the true desires of the heart. He spends a great deal of time in unnecessary and excessive grooming. He also seems to vastly prefer the company of men rather than the company of woman. These are just some of the reason as to why a lot of people think Mikoto is actually homosexual. Mikoto is only really picky when it comes to women, not to mention that he isn't popular with woman either because of how effeminate he seems at times. Several of his close friends actually know this, and still like to tease him about that. Having sparked several misunderstandings, Mikoto has made an habit of introducing himself with his sexuality in his introduction line. Despite his love for his beauty, Mikoto is neither an stranger to fight nor is he scared of them. He is not a ninja just for show. Mikoto's will to fight is just as much, if not even more, than other ninjas. He will never run away, nor will he ever admit he is outpowered. That's why he believes it is wrong for shinobi's to only be after money and not to follow their heart's desires. He does, however, protect his face a lot more than any other shinobi does. His reason to be one of the Red Sages is simple; "Doesn't freedom sound like a beautiful concept to you? I'd very much like to see what true freedom is like." 【History】 What can you expect from Mikoto's story? Yes, he was bullied as a kid. Yes, he was beaten up a lot as a kid. No, he was not mentally scarred or traumatised by this. Mikoto actually fought back. He's never been afraid of getting his hands dirty. Though he's always been a dilligent student, more than once has he been scolded by his teachers because of how many fights he got himself into. During elementary school, he had to fight his way through bullies and smart-asses who thought he was nothing more than a sissy. It wasn't until he started going to junior high school that he discovered a better way to deal with bullies instead of fighting them. Completely ignoring them. Why, there's nothing more infuriating than the sissy you are trying to piss off completely ignores your very existance. It ended up either with the guys giving up and moving on to their next victim or them trying to beat up Mikoto, which ended up badly for them. Again. By the time he entered high school, Mikoto had created a reputation for himself. Never again did he have to deal with idiots trying to piss him off. Sadly, it was... boring. Extremely so. How could he ever relieve this boredom? Already studying to be a ninja and a Chuunin, and the Hamajo Confederation didn't seem eager to start a war any time soon. Then, what could little old Mikoto do to relieve his thirst for fighting? The Red Sages was the only thing that came to his mind. 【Family ties】 The Amatsurahashi family. Harsh in their ninja training, lax in their concept of what a man should be. Why you ask? Mikoto's father died when he was 4 on the way to the hospital when Mikoto's sister was about to be born. So, Mikoto had to quickly grow up and become the man of the house and so, he had no time to have his lunch handed over to him by some guys who taught were better than him. Not to mention he had an example to set for his sister. Amatsurahashi Haruka \| Mother \| 42, Kirigakure, Reitred Shinobi Amatsurahashi Kanata \| Sister \| 16, Kirigakure, Shinobi, Chuunin 【Dreams and fears】 His dream is to see actual freedom. To be able to see what it truly means for a shinobi to be able to be free. He'd also like to learn how to play an instrument, ANY instrument. His deepest and darkest fear is for all that is beautiful to him, including his family, to be taken away from him all at once. To leave him at the mercy of a world where nothing can no longer make him feel alive. Basically, being alive but dead inside is his biggest fear. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Many describe Mikoto's fighting style as refined and entracing. They say it is like watching him dance instead of fighting. Still, Mikoto's taijutsu is deadly and precise. There is no wasted effort, no wasted moves. Everything is made to be a beautifully perfect fighting style for Mikoto. Rhythm and tempo are the bases for his taijutsu style. He always tries to imitate a song playing inside his head as he fights, trying to match the timings of his strikes and the timing to avoid and counter-attack. Thanks to his being knowledgeable about several types of music, it is easy for him to change gears in the blink of an eye. He tends to use bojutsu, a fighting style through the use of a staff, when he thinks taijutsu is no longer enough to defeat someone. He usually combines bojutsu with ninjutsu to make an even more lethal style. He is more of a physical fighter rather than using ninjutsu and genjutsu. His ninjutsu acts more as a support for his fighting style and he tries to avoid using genjutsu, mainly because it isn't his best subject. His ninjutsu focuses on the use of water as a high speed waterjet to cut through things. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Doesn't have one. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Water Release: High Speed Jet B rank techniques: Water Release: Water Beast Water Release: Hiding in Water Technique C rank techniques: Water Release: Water Gun Water Release: Water Whip Water Clone Technique D-E rank techniques: All basic Academy E ones. 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Water Release: High Speed Jet Rank: A Range: Short Range, can only be use in hand-to-hand combat. Description: The user releases a high speed stream of water from their finger tips and envelops both of their hands in a water jet that can cut through just about anything. This technique, however, is as harmful to the user as it is to their opponent, and can only be used once in a fight to avoid further damage to their hands and/or weapons. Depending of the Chakra output of the user, this move becomes more powerful and becomes able to cut through harder materials. How much the chakra is being used also determines how long this jutsu can last. At minimum output, the Jutsu can cut through wood easily and can last about an hour (6 posts) without damaging the user's skin. In a weapon, it can last for a complete hour (6 posts) before it starts eating away at the materials of the weapon. At medium output, the jutsu can cut through bone, rock and even iron. The user can mantain it for 15 (3 posts) minutes without major damage to their hands. In a weapon, it can last for 30 minutes (4 posts). At maximum output, the jutsu can cut through just about any kind of metal standing in its way, though it won't be able to cut through chakra enhanced weapons, diamonds or crystal release jutsus. In the user's hands, it can only last for a minute (1 post) before there is major damage and in a weapon it can last for 5 minutes (2 posts) before it destroys the weapon completely. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon Name: Sonatta Weapon, tool or object type: Staff Description: A large white and black staff that is about the same height as Mikoto himself. It is made out of wood and has two metal plates at both of its ends, so it can withstand Mikoto's High Speed Jet Jutsu. “Yeah, I am that guy's sister. No, I won't get you a date with him. Why? Because he doesn't freakin' like dudes!” Standing at a not even surprising 1.64 meters and a rather slim and flimsy frame, it is Amatsurahashi Kanata. Like her brother, she has fiery red hair and blue eyes, but neither of them are as well cared for as his. In fact, her brother likes to point out the split ends her hair might have. Her hair is long and usually kept in a pair of twintails that reach her waist. Her blue eyes are big and have been called cute several times, by relatives and her mother, mainly. Her fair skin does have some cream put into it but not the ungodly amounts her brother uses. Like other men, she fears she might catch fire if she imitates her brother. Her frame is slim but well trained, as expected of any shinobi. The problem lies in her chest, something she has a strong complex about and what often makes others confuse her for a boy (given how her brother is). A teenager who'd like to put as much attention on her appearance as her homo brother, Amatsurahashi Kanata. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Unlike her brother who has 'shit for brains', Kanata is a lot more normal than her egocentric and metrosexual brother, if a lot more tomboyish than your regular kunoichi. But let's be honest here, what screams femininity more than a girl in a tight suit jumping around and throwing sharp things at others? Foul-mouthed by nature, full of hormones thanks to her age and Kanata's short fuse make her an adorable pack of emotions, insults, bad words and sarcasm all in one. She's known for not holding anything back, and this has gotten her in a lot more of problems than she's ever wanted to have. Her tongue moves faster than her brain can catch up, hurling insults at people she shouldn't piss off. She depends a lot on her brother Mikoto to get her out of such situations. An idiot by birth not by choice, Kanata has found herself in more than one tight spot both in school and in the streets. She often comments on how life wouldn't be as exciting if she didn't get in as much problems as she does, though. Add to all of this the fact that she has several complexes about her body and life and it just makes her the perfect adolescent with attitude problems. She just needs to run away and the pack should be complete. Among her several complexes, she's got a complex about her chest and an inferiority complex towards her brother. Don't try to mention her height or call her a boy either. Overall, Kanata is a short-tempered idiot with a big mouth AND some ability as a ninja. At least she knows how to fight AND when she should just run for it instead of fighting. "Live to fight another day. Those idiots will never catch me anyway, not with mighty homo Mikoto watching my back." 【History】 Unlike her brother, Kanata was largely ignored in her school years, all the way from elementary school it was just a big whole of... nothing. Have you ever seen your graduation photo and noticed a guy that is there but you never actually saw? If not, that's what several people thought after getting their graduation photo and finally noticing Kanata. Everyone expected big things from Amatsurahashi Mikoto's sister, only to be let down by the extremely pragmatic and sarcastic Kanata. Her existence mostly went unnoticed until she finally became a Chuunin. Pairing up with her brother and going out in missions made them a deadly combo. Finally, people started noticing Kanata and she wasn't sure of whether this was a good or bad thing. Well, she never really did have a lack of friends, she just was in that small group that mostly went unnoticed by others. Later she determined that it was bad. Real bad. They all came to her with words like 'Oh, did Mikoto have a sister? Never knew.' or 'Wow, to think you could actually do something!'. What came after those comments was most definitely not pretty. Having gained a bad reputation this time around, people started to actually avoid her. Well, her fame was short lived, and it was good that it was. 【Family ties】 Kanata's father died before she was born, so she only has her older brother and mother to rely on. While she is fond of and loves the two of them, she does find them, Mikoto specially, annoying. Amatsurahashi Haruka \| Mother \| 42, Kirigakure, Retired Shinobi Amatsurahashi Mikoto \| Brother \| 20, Kirigakure, Shinobi, Part of the Red Sages, "Full time homo" 【Dreams and fears】 She dreams of one day surpassing her ever so perfect and beautiful brother, or at the very least shake off the feeling of inferiority she feels towards him. Her biggest fear is not being able to go to the next One Direction concert living in the shadow of her brother. Also to be noted, she is scared witless of Mikoto's imminent death if he keeps doing dangerous things. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Never to shine herself but to give others the opportunity to shine, Kanata's fighting style is a purely supportive one. She can indeed defend herself in hand to hand combat, yes, but her true talent comes out when she is fighting alongside someone else. Her specialty are ninjutsu and genjutsu used to support a more aggressive battle style like her brother's. She intends to stall, hinder and trip her opponents at every step they give. Even if they are about to hit their mark, she'll make sure that what they hit is nothing more but an illusion she's made. Cunning and brains, not muscles and... more muscles, are what make her a formidable fighter. She uses water release, but unlike her brother, she uses mist and barriers to hinder her opponents. Her taijutsu is the weakest part of her fighting style as a whole. She can easily be overpowered by any opponent with more experience in hand to hand combat or otherwise. Her taijutsu is focused on the use of her legs, since her arms are more like sticks. She uses a combination of muay thai and tae kwon do to keep opponents at bay while she uses her hands to prepare her next jutsu. Kanata also tends to use submission holds against opponents bigger than her, in order to keep them from moving and to give herself more time to cast her next jutsu. Thanks to her being bad at taijutsu, she carries even more kunais than the average shinobi. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Thank God I don't need to fill this longass form 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Water Release: Water Heavens Convergence B rank techniques: Water Release: Water Formation Pillar Water Release: Water Beast Illysionary Mist C rank techniques: Water Prison Technique Water Release: Water Gun Water Clone Technique Water Release: Enveloping Mist D-E rank techniques: Hidden In Mist Technique 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Water Release: Enveloping Mist Rank: C Range: Large, it covers an area of 30 meters around the user. Description: The user, Kanata, releases mist from the tip of her fingers that envelops a wide are around her. It does nothing more, nothing less. Once the mist is out of Kanata, it does not take any chakra for her to mantain it. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Kunais. Lots and lots of them. Weapon, tool or object type: Throwing Kunai Description: Simple kunais in ungodly quantities. Makes you wonder where the hell is she hiding so many of them. “Calm yourself. I mean you no harm. ... Your heartbeat is starting to calm down. Good.” An intimidating man standing at 1.80 meters and a man of nerves made out of steel, Kisaragi Anzai. He's got short and spiky black hair falling right over his face. He uses a headband at the top of his forehead to not let it rub against his face, since he is pretty sensitive. Anzai's skin is dark brown, making for a perfect example of the trademark Kumogakure ethnicity. He's got gray eyes, but he always keeps his eyes shut. Unlike many cliché anime characters, Anzai actually keeps his own eyes shut because he is blind. His physique is quite buff and muscular, something that affects his diet quite a lot since he needs to eat a lot more than your regular shinobi. Despite his physique and Kekkei Genkai, Anzai keeps always keeps a cane by his side. The Blind Assassin, Kisaragi Anzai. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Kisaragi Anzai 【Alias】 The Blind Assassin, Anzu 【Affiliation】 Red Sages 【Age】 25 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Asexual/Bi-romantic (think I saw someone use the word hetero-romantic somewhere, so I'm borrowing the idea) 【Birthplace】 Kumogakure 【Bloodline】 Kisaragi 【Rank】 Jounin -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Calm and stoic are the words that best define Anzai. He's lived his life having to take calm and well-thought steps due to his blindness. It gives you more time to think, in a way. Everything he does is well-thought and meditated, even his jokes, which tend to be overlooked because of his monotone tone of voice. Because of his legendary calmness and his habit of meditation, many often believe that Anzai is, in fact, sleeping. He has fallen asleep while meditating if we are being completely honest, but it is a rare occurrence indeed. Once, someone stepped over him while sleeping. Anzai is really prideful, despite his usual cool demeanor. Offering to help him go down the stairs or other friendly offers for help upset him greatly and, despite not losing his cool demeanor, you'll find yourself threatened by that same calm nature. In a nutshell, feeling pity for him can really work against you. "Even as I am blind, I can see far more than you." His mannerisms and calmness often lead others to believe that he is expressionless, or worse, emotionless. This is most certainly not true, but Anzai does manage to keep his emotions in check most of the time. This is because he understands and accepts all of his emotions, which has also made him able to tell a person's mood through the tone of their voice or what they are feeling through the beat of their heart. These two abilities, though, are rendered useless in battle as he cannot focus his hearing solely in his opponent, otherwise he'd feel he's leaving himself open. As with everything else, Anzai tends to keep calm and stoic even in the most heated of situations, making him both an intimidating and terrifying foe. 【History】 The long line of Katsuragi shinobi felt that its long tradition of warriors had come to an end when they discovered that Anzai, next in line to become the head of the small clan, was born blind. Not having sight, an almost indispensable tool in the trade of being a ninja. They thought all was lost were it not for what they noticed later. The boy could indeed see and his 'sight' could reach even further than their own. The Kekkei Genkai of the Kisaragi allows them to feel electric currents, but only when thrown in a jutsu, making it a highly defensive type of Kekkei Genkai that could only protect them against an specific type of jutsu. Anzai's blindness took it a step further. Anzai could actually sense the small electrical charges carried by electrons, and that permitted him to make an image inside of his head of what things would look like if he could see, and what made it better was the fact that his 'vision' covered a whole 360 around him. It was blurry at first, of course. Untrained and instinctive, the Kisaragi could not pass up on such an opportunity. Regardless of his shortcomings when he first started training, the Kisaragi finally were able to make an specially deadly and stoic shinobi out of Anzai, who could now see clearly after refining the use fo his Kekkei Genkai. Once he got clearance to become a Jounin, however, what followed were years full of frustration. Everyone looked down on him because of his blidness. They wouldn't allow him to participate in missions, and he would remain mediocre because the Confederation frowned upon physical demonstrations of power, at least between their own armies. The last straw was when his commander called him weak, and that he couldn't kill him even if he were sleeping. Making a live demonstration, Anzai went to the Red Sages dragging his commander's body by the neck. The commander was known to be a powerful but arrogant commander that had been hindering several of the operations of the Red Sages. He hoped that such a demonstration would be enough for the Red Sages to acknowledge his potential. Thankfully for them, they did. 【Family ties】 Anzai's family is filled with strong warriors, warriors that would risk their lives at the beck and call of their masters. So was the case with both of Anzai's parents, who died while he was still training. His only remaining (close) family is his grandfather. Kisaragi Youtsugi \| Grandfather \| 81, Kumogakure, Old fart too proud to retire from being a shinobi. 【Dreams and fears】 Anzai dreams of making his a powerful clan, one rivaling the Uchiha or the Hyuuga. Despite not seeing (pun intended) the allure of the intercourse, Anzai does wish to have an heir who inherits both his powerful Kekkei Genkai and blindness, horrible as it may sound. He thinks of himself as the next step towards greatness for his clan. An improvement over those before him and the true potential of their Kekkei Genkai. His biggest fear, though odd but logical considering his personality, is to be able to see with his eyes. He feels he'll lose his powerful KG if he sudeenly becomes able to see. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 A dojutsu without eyes. So many have described Anzai's battle style. His genjutsu skills are non-existant, perhaps because he cannot see in the traditional way, but his lack of skill in genjutsu is compensated by his skill in ninjutsu and kenjutsu. He keeps his sword concealed inside the cane he always carries with himself. His fighting style is one that prioritizes domination over the battlefield. If people ambush him, then he'll keep everyone at a safe distance through the use of his ninjutsu, and then engage each of them with his sword and finish them quickly. He's been called the Blind Assassin because he always aims to end his fights quickly, before his opponent can catch up on the several weaknesses of his Kekkei Genkai. If he is overwhelmed or has spent too much in a fight, he tends to retire as quick as possible and fight another day, despite his prideful personality. He is dead set on not letting anyone know of the weaknesses of his abilities, and will surely kill anyone who catches on on them. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Denkaku (電覚) Description: The Kisaragi KG allows the clansmen to sense strong currents of electricity, like those produced from a Lightning Release ninjutsu. Anzai's lack of sight, however, makes this ability extremely powerful, and allows him to sense even the small electrons that are around almost every atom, which allows him to make complete 360 images in a range of 10 meters around him. The KG also allows the Kisaragi to use an special type of ninjutsu because of the constant electric wave that surrounds them. Anzai's is neither stronger nor weaker than those before him. Strengths: Allows Anzai to make 360 images of the terrain he is in. Can dodge Lightning release ninjutsu easily thanks to being able to detect them from wherever they are coming. Due to the excited atoms of a hot body, Anzai can also sense Fire Release rather clearly and can sense even more clearly any individual with a high body temperature. Anzai can become a walking stungun by amplifying the electric wave going around him. If extremely concentrated and in only one individual, Anzai can predict their next attacks by seeing the electricity running through their muscles as they move. This, however, makes him blind to any other thing happening in his surroundings. Weaknesses: Being hit by Wind Release, the usual weakness of Lightning release, can either make his vision blurry or blind him completely, if the jutsu is strong enough(B jutsus and stronger). He cannot sense Ice Release or any body at Absolute Zero temperature. (Not necessarily a shinobi, could also be metal). Due to the lack of electrons in their atoms, Anzai can't sense gases either. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Lightning Release: Depht Charge Lightning Release: Walking Stungun B rank techniques: Lightning Release: False Darkness Lightning Release: Lightning Trap C rank techniques: Lightning Release Wall Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder D-E rank techniques: None worth mentioning. 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Lightning Release: Walking Stungun Rank: A Range: Short Range Description: Using Lightning Release, Anzai supercharges his nervous system after amplifying the natural electric wave surrounding his body and reversing it inside, but unlike A's Lightning Chakra mode, Anzai does not enhance his physical capabilities. The electricity surrounding Anzai also becomes visible to any of his enemies as small lightning courses his arms, chest and legs. Touching Anzai while doing this will result in an extremely painful and stunning electric shock, that renders taijutsu useless against him. While this does not actually hurt Anzai, it does leave him paralyzed for a long while afterwards, so he does not use it that often. The longest he can keep this technique activated is for 5 posts. Anzai theorizes that if his whole body was sedated and his mind wasn't, he could use this technique to move. He hasn't had the opportunity to prove this theory, though, and the fact that he still needs to make the hand seals makes it... kind of pointless. Jutsu name: Lightning Blade: Heaven Piercing Lunge Rank: S Range: Short to Mid Range Description: Anzai thrusts his weapon forward and, much like like the Chidori Katana of Sasuke, creates a highly condensated flow of Lightning release chakra with a range of 10 meters. Though it does not chirp loudly like the Chidori Katana, there is indeed a low, cracking sound that warns of its arrival, not to mention that when it hits, it makes the same sound as a thunder striking the ground as all of the compacted energy dissipates after hitting its target. It is compact and quite small, and its range falls short to other jutsu, but it is a jutsu that can pierce through mostly anything, unless faced with a weapon with flowing Lightning Release chakra or Air Release chakra. Thanks to Anzai's detection and skill, he can make the attack change its course as he wants, though not as many times as he'd like. After moving it three times, the jutsu disappears. Though extremely lethal as it can pierce easily through someone's head or ribcage in an attempt to kill Anzai's enemies, it really depends a lot of where it hits. Jutsu name: Lightning Release: Lightning Spread Rank: C Range: Long Range Description: A variation of the Electromagnetic Murder jutsu. Putting both of his hands on the ground, Anzai releases lightning in a range of 20 meters to keep his opponents away. Jutsu name: Lightning Release Wall Rank: C Range: Short to Mid Range Description: Using Lightning Release, Anzai erects (( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)) a wall with a maximum range of 10 meters, that can be extended to 20 if he places seals to help him keep it up. The wall is made up of violent electric bolts, making it harmful for anyone trying to get past it, whether they want to enter it or exit it. It doesn't seem to affect Lightning Release users as much, though. The only way to dispel it is to either defeat Anzai or, if it is being used at mid range, to take off the seals previously placed by Anzai. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Silent Death Weapon, tool or object type: Sword Cane Description: A sword hidden inside a cane that would otherwise be used to aid his walking. How it looks
51,158	1,381	65	1,221	49	Tanji Tsugiharu At the foot of Central Command Stairs, Konoha Ame-Suna Border, Harvest Festival "Hey, are you okay?" Other than getting man-handled, he was doing great. Really. Tanji couldn't blame the Hyuga, a man's identity is sacred along with his honor, and yeah, some might say it was 'a dick move,' Tanji of all people knows how important family is, and gallivanting as a false kinsman to the Hyuga clan must surely be a heinous crime. "I'm fine," he wheezed, "Boy, those Great Clans sure make some exceptional Shinobi don't they," he smiled, clutching his side in slight pain. "But, I guess you don't need me to tell you that, Miss Uchiha." Tanji had read through many files of Confederate Shinobi that were available in the Intelligence Corps. archives, it was his job to stay informed of course, but he always enjoyed reading up on the files of great houses, in a way it filled a void in him. He was a bit of a fanboy to say the least; the Naras, Akimichis, Uzumakis, and of course the Uchihas and Hyugas. He tried to make polite small talk as they went along the stairs, "Yup, you guys are great. A noble, storied line, full of exceptional ninjas. Why, I only have my dumb brother," he gave a pleasant laugh, "Name's Tanji by the way," not noticing that the topic he touched on might not be the best topic for his conversation partner, he just continued walking with a dumb smile, thinking how cool it would be to ask for their autographs, maybe the Commanders will give theres too. Or would that be too much. Nah, they're probably cool about it. Right?	“I think he's dead -er, well, everybody else think he is, but now I'm not sure.” An unassuming man by most standards, not impressive or lacking in most aspects, just simply there. Short, if a bit rustled, brown hair, with a square face free of any scars or blemishes and average everyday brown eyes, in the academy you wouldn't really notice him in the sea of exceptional talent, but he gets by.Not particularly skinny, tall, muscular, just a healthy and acceptable male in his early 20's. Probably not going to amount to much beyond being a low-tier Jonin if he's lucky. Probably. Personnel files.

Tanji Tsugiharu has exhibited little to no extreme beliefs or jarring idiosyncrasies (which in itself might be one). The Confederacy has deemed him a loyal citizen of the state. He has a positive work ethic, follows rules and regulations to the letter save for the most exceptional situation (of which he has been disciplined and reprimanded as per the law). He is as kind and self-less as any bachelor of the confederacy is and is devoted to his position. 【Personality】 Rather mundane. Pleasant enough in many social interactions, and prefers to follow conversations rather than lead them himself. That said he has some good friends back in his home town and has made a decent few in his new post. Amicable to his clients, but oddly stoic and unfeeling when it comes to dealing with traitors and rebels. He prefers to spend his free time drinking with close friends in a quiet homely tavern or ramen shop, and has an odd fixation with karaoke. When off duty he spends his days with his small family back in his home town. In battle he is as serious as any good shinobi should be in those situations. He is selfless in his duty to the confederacy and has volunteered to be bait on multiple occasions on the condition that the battle ends quickly afterwards. When plans fail and battles are drawn out he doesn't panic too much, but 9 times out of 10 will opt to lead or support a withdrawal. "Live to fight another day." 【History】 Tsugiharu's parents were simple Chunin Guards with a Customs House on a major trade route, their duties were rather mundane and drool, but once in a while held excitement when travelers had disagreements with the customsofficer. The couple resided in a modest home after an unplanned pregnancy had made the two man and wife. It was tough going at first but the relative isolation and non-relevancy of the village made for a peaceful life, and they grew content and able with the new family. 14 years after the birth of their first son, and with much more financial stability the 2 deemed themselves ready for another son. The Tanji house lived peacefully for 3 more years until the dissent and turmoil of the Confederacy reached their village leading to a violent terrorist attack on the village's crossroads leading to their deaths. This left the 17 year old boy to care for his young brother, fortunately the Proprietor of the Customs House, who at that point was now an old family friend offered to shelter the 2 orphans until the 18th birthday of the elder brother who decided to not rely on the kindness of the Customs Master any longer. Such the 2 siblings lived in a shabby apartment the elder supporting the small family as a Customs House guard like his parents. He, Tanji Hamurato, would continue to support (and sometimes spoil) his younger brother as he took his own wife(Tanji Orimoto) and had a daughter (Tanji Ekka) of their own while was just starting high-school. Tsugiharu was an average student in his own right never excelling or lacking in any field or discipline. He was studious and forthwith at the academy but never went above or beyond what was required. His work as a Genin in his squad was also mundane sticking to class D and lower missions, in exception to one class C defense contract. Simply tasked with defending a local tavern from extorting thugs (non-shinobi rabble), the mission report told of the 3 genin having to deal with some thugs as the accompanying Jonin talked with the owners, but nothing really came out of it. However rumors that local gangster being rather jumpy, defensive and generally paranoid around small sounds and shadows circulated around the tavern's area. Come the Chunin exams though he displayed adept problem solving and leadership skills within his squad, but that might have just been in need rather than by ambition. He opted to remain quarrel-less and jovial with the other Genin and never really showed exceptionaltalent other than what was required to get through the trials. However it can be noted that during the elimination tournament that the young Tanji employed some rather harsh and quick measures using poisons, weapons and simple genjutsus to end matches before his opponents can truly pull out their trump cards. A good thing too, for the proctors had stated that if not for his "bag of cheap tricks" his opponents would have easily out-classed him had the fight dragged on. He was unceremoniously given the rank of Chunin, barely passing after having been defeated by the more Capable Genin that saw through his ruses in the final rounds of the tournament. After graduating opted to become a Contract work Shinobi unlike his family before him. He takes missions for the Confederacy as many times as he can, but seems to seek missions pertaining to the rooting out and apprehension of dissident and unloyal citizens and terrorists. Currently lives by himself in a modest apartment close to his work place. 【Family ties】 Lower-Middle Class, had some hardships for sure, but was never truly in danger of starving or dying of exposure. Such a life made Tsugiharu rather humble and soft-spoken. Hopes to keep up with his duties and occasionally visits his brother and his family. Tanji Hamurato \| Elder Brother \| (36), Kusagakure, Currently a guard at a customs house. Sanguine, always optimistic and smiling in many situations. Tanji Orimoto \| Sister-in-Law \| (35), Kusagakure, Housewife of Hamurato, Choleric, rather plain but has the charm of a country girl going for her. Demure and rather quiet in contrast to her husband. Tanji Ekka\| Niece \| 9, Kusagakure, Student, Mercurial, tempermental and extremely competitive. A bit of a tomboy and a much more naturally talented than her father and uncle in the academy. 【Dreams and fears】 Dreams of finally bringing the traitors and belligerents of the Confederacy to justice and hopes to finally see peace and order to the state. Fears of losing his family to the dangers that is the enemies of the Confederacy. Combat reports. Has a quite odd fighting style and might be the epitome of "work smarter not harder." Picks and chooses his engagements when he knows the enemy may be taken down quickly and with minimal loss. This usually ends up with him or a squad-mate in grievous condition so long the opponent is taken out before unnecessary damage is done to anybody else. Such operations usually include him stringing together a myriad of feints, illusions and gambits to ensure the enemy can be taken down in one decisive attack by his squad rather than prolonged engagements. This unfortunately makes him rather sub-par when caught unawares. As such he is most delegated to planned attacks on high value targets to either eliminate, apprehend or interrogate 【Fighting style】 Some might call his methods cowardice but it has kept him alive. He employs the liberal use of clones supplemented by heavy use of false sounds and images using his specialized study in illusionary genjustsu. He chips away at his opponents using small thrown weapons like shurikens and senbons to keep his opponent on edge and unfocused. While his genjutsu gives ample distractions and false visions he also uses fine rope and bells tied to said weapons to create snares and distractions for the slim but inevitable chance that his opponent finally makes a mistake. When they do he delivers a powerful and dibilitating poisons through the same methods as above when the opponent finally opens themselves up to receive his limited supply. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 NONE 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Bringer of Darkness Technique B rank techniques: Demonic Bells: Phantom Sound Chains (Uses a Network of Tuned Bells strung onto ropes to create a melody rather than a flute) Interrogation Genjutsu C rank techniques: Earth Release: Underground Projection Fish Technique.

Academy Jutsus (Substitions, transformation, clone) 【Custom made techniques】 False Sound Rank: C Range: Short - Medium (0m~10m) Description: Once someone is affected by the jutsu causes them to hear sounds under direction of the ninja that casted it. Can be dispelled as normal genjutsu can. Single target per cast (but can be casted on multiple targets). Also relies on the opponent being knowledgeable enough to make the sounds realistic (or not realistic) as possible. Jutsu name:Shadow Weapon Rank: C Short (Before throwing or using weapon): Description: Hide a small thrown weapon in the shadow of another item as it is being thrown. Not a summoned weapon, typically can be countered simply by opponent witnessing the actual weapon being thrown shortly after the concealing weapon is thrown, and dodging for 2 projectiles rather than 1. Additionally the weapon cannot transfer between shadows and becomes a normal seen projectile after the shadow is passed. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Senbon Weapon, tool or object type: Thrown Projectile Description:Small thin and light weapon the looks similar to sewing needles.

51,159	1,381	66	985	319	Nori Hisakawa Red Sages Nori looked over as another Red Sage caught up to them, and his eyebrows raised a bit as he recognized him immediately. The redhead who almost got himself ganged by all of those Confederate shinobi. He didn't know who the man was fighting before, but he felt like the fight was at a different level than most other scuffles. A slight sigh of relief escaped Nori; at least he managed to save him. "You're that redhead from the fight before. There was an Uchiha there was well? You might want to consider watching your flank a little bit better next time. There's a very real chance you would have died, considering how many more capable Confederate shinobi decided to show up." Nori wasn't trying to sound arrogant, or spiteful; he was just stating the facts. The fight was more than double the odds against them together. Alone, Nori didn't see much hope of a chunin like him surviving against that, especially considering that Mikoto might have decided to stay and fight. "It's good to see you made it out alright, despite all of that."	“Sacrifice yourself to do one good thing, or live on to do many? Think about it.” Standing at about 5'11" and weighing in at 150~lb, Nori is tall, lean shinobi, with an air of thoughtful relaxation about him. His bluish-black hair is trimmed slightly shorter than in the picture above, keeping the bangs out of his eyes, and the length in the back about halfway down the neck. His skin is rather pale, with sharp grey eyes, and slightly pointed teeth reminiscent of the Seven Ninja Swordsman of the Mist. Attire-wise; in battle, he forgoes a flak jacket, instead settling for a chain mesh under a loose, sleeveless blue shirt, black shin-length pants, standard issue black sandals, arm-guards, and his dark blue scarf tucked into the back of his shirt; a worn Kirigakure plate is attached to the end of this. Out of battle, his attire is much more modern; while he still sticks to wearing blue out of habit, he often dresses in semi-casual suit jackets, button-up shirts, slacks, and sneakers, varying to weather and situation as necessary. The only consistency is the dark-blue scarf, kept with him regardless of occasion. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Nori is an analytical type. Even in casual conversations, he will take long periods of time to listen thoroughly to what the other(s) have to say before replying, replying only when he has found something worthwhile to say in response. He's often relaxing to be around because of this trait; you'll almost never be interrupted or ignored, and especially those needing to blow off some steam will drift to him. The responses are where that line becomes less clear-cut. His honesty in his responses, and the depth he might go to analyze a statement, can lead to starting an argument that never needed to happen, or worsening an existing one. Not everyone likes hearing the truth. He doesn't seem to regret these situations, since the problem wasn't his fault in the first place. Some people think he's arrogant because of this aloofness, and they wouldn't be wrong. He'll become frustrated if people challenge his analysis, and even moreso if he happens to have made a mistake in his interpretation of the situation in the first place. Being such a good listener though, sometimes he has trouble starting conversations, or holding them. He doesn't really have the social drive to keep up small talk for very long, and he also dislikes having to talk about himself. It takes work for him to honestly feel like opening up to anyone, and he grows extremely uncomfortable talking about himself or his past. Which leads to a conflict of interests; if he can talk to you about your problems, why can't he talk to you about his own? 【History】 Nori is the only son of his parents, a non-shinobi father and a hunter-nin mother, in the unsteady Kirigakure village. With the years preceding the era of peace from the Hamajō Confederation, his mother was hardly ever home for the boy, constantly performing missions, be they for the village, or against its defectors. No questions asked has always been the terms of the Hidden Mist though, and so he simply smiled and nodded when his father constantly praised her mother as a hero, regardless of how dirty her job was. Even when she did return though, she never doted on him, unlike how he saw other mothers do with their children. She simply enjoyed the brief tranquility that would come between her missions as much as possible, and Nori accepted the exhaustion that came with his mother, the "hero." As he grew into his Academy years, he himself trained diligently in the Academy, to become a "great hero" like his scarcely seen mother, and succeeded; he was quiet, talented, and most importantly, obedient. What he also learned however, is how to be an outcast; children in times of war are never settled, and they found every reason to question why his father wasn't a shinobi, and tease that maybe his mother wouldn't come back this time. He simply let them speak and continued his training; his father did everything he could as a parent, and his mother was a hero. He didn't have the nerve to question them early on, and didn't care once he understood later. Even after learning of just what the job of hunter-nin entailed, well, it was just another grisly duty, and he would be more than willing to follow his mother's footsteps in that role. And then, during his graduating year at the Academy, the war hit a terrifying peak for Kirigakure--the destruction of the village. People scattered. Most died. Nori and his family were of the lucky ones; they managed to get out before the devastation, finding themselves heading north across the water to the Land of Lightning, and the new Kumo Province. For a long time, neither of them knew where his mother was. His father took up the task of farming, struggling to get by in the lackluster area. Nori didn't know what to do. He had been following in his mother's footsteps, but how could he join a military that let their home be destroyed and separated him from his "hero?" His decision would be solidified several years later, after the Hamajō Confederation had settled in. After the destruction of Kirigakure, his mother had been lost. She didn't know what had happened to her family. She thought them likely dead, herself being another lucky one, sent over to the Land of Fire on her most recent task. The loss of home, the loss of family...she ended up with some of the scattered armies, and eventually decided that she would fight against the power that couldn't protect her anymore; she joined the would-be Red Sages, and eventually got herself killed for it. Family connections were made. The Confederation came to his father's farm, looking for intel on the Red Sages. Neither of them knew anything about what had happened after Kirigakure, and after some extremely stern interrogation, decided that refugees fled to Kumo wouldn't know what happened to a traitor last seen near Konoha. "Traitor." That was the term that had solidified his decision. There had to be a reason; she had been a hunter-nin. Her duty: to track down rogue shinobi, the traitors. She had to know the consequences of becoming the hunted, so the reason for her supposed defection had to have some meaning behind it. He thought it over, and decided to continue her fight. His father never questioned it; he was a grown man now, and his decision was his own. He would join the Red Sages, and fight the real traitors. 【Family ties】 Nori grew up in a single-father middle-class household, with his mother visiting only once every several months during her time of service after she got herself off of maternity leave. He has no siblings. After the destruction of Kirigakure, he lived in near-poverty with his single father, and never saw his mother again. Naozumi Hisakawa \| Father \| 50, Kumogakure, farmer.

His fears are for his father being punished for having two criminals in the family, despite his innocence. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Nori focuses around genjutsu-based combat, looking to manipulate his opponents into a corner with various Water-style ninjutsu and weaponry--most notably being a naginata--before locking them down with genjutsu and going in to finish the job. 【N/A】 Bloodline limit name: N/A Description: User possesses no known kekkei genkai. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: B rank techniques: Water Release: Water Formation Wall C rank techniques: Water Prison Technique Water Clone Technique Water Release: Water Bullet Technique Water Release: Water Bowl D-E rank techniques: Body Replacement Technique Unsealing Technique Hiding in Mist Technique 【Custom made techniques】 Aquatic Bone Suffering Rank: B Range: Dependent Description: This jutsu causes all water created from a previous Water Release ninjutsu to have an extreme numbing effect to any skin in contact with it, extremely hindering the sense of touch, and in turn, making it more difficult to control the dampened areas. While the effect is immediate and intense though, it's reliant on how wet the opponent is; if they've been successfully dodging techniques, or happen to be in heavy armor, they likely won't be affected significantly. Likewise, managing to sufficiently dry themselves will remove the effect, and as with all genjutsu, if they are aware it's the illusion of loss of sensation, then they can mentally force themselves to overcome it if possible. The strength of the technique is its subtlety and range, the weakness being its ease of avoidance. Jutsu name: Water Release: Seashell Current Discord Rank: B Range: Mid to long-range Description: An audio genjutsu, in which the user releases a quick jet of water from their mouth onto anything nearby. Those hearing any noise the jet of water creates, such as its impact, will begin hearing only the noise they heard the genjutsu create, be it a splash on another body of water, against a tree, etc., essentially cutting off their ability to hear. In combination with the Hiding in Mist Technique, it can be crippling to have one of your other means of locating your opponent crippled. The strength of the genjutsu lies in it's simplicity of execution and subtlety. The weaknesses lie in the lack of physical hindrance; the opponent is not incapacitated in any other way, and it can be avoided by not hearing the initial noise, and the technique can be overcome with sufficient time/chakra control. Jutsu name: Kingdom of the Eastern Seas Rank: A Range: Short Description: The user clasps their hand at an opponent's throat or forehead while casting the genjutsu, after which, the victim will be under the illusion of being dragged to the bottom of the ocean floor; painful, crushing water pressure, asphyxiation, no light, and no sound. These effects persist until the caster of the genjutsu releases their hand from the opponent, or loses the ability to channel the chakra. The weakness of the technique lies in its extremely close range, especially so with the need to grasp something as usually well-protected as a head or neck. The strength lies in the fast effects and sheer intensity of the genjutsu, crippling all senses at once, incapacitating most in short order. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Customized Naginata Description: A 5 foot long bright grey naginata, with the bottom half able to collapse into the top to make it a more efficient weapon at extremely close range, as well as the tsuba consisting of a hardened rubber disk, to insulate electricity coming through the blade, knowing that his exclusive use of water techniques makes him quite vulnerable to an electric discharge. The coloration is exclusively for blending in with the Hiding in Mist Technique, to make the weapon harder to see. Okay, just threw it in over the post I had to "delete" before.
51,160	1,381	67	1,918	8,262	Akio Tendou Central Compound, Hamajo Confederate Akio clicked her teeth in annoyance as the red haired man blocked her attacks, and as the Lady Commander launched her own response, Akio readied her tanto in preparation to knock them aside, only for two of them to suddenly poof into two clones. Not wanting to engage the woman in close range, especially after her last display of strength, Akio leaped backwards into the air, tossing an explosive tag in between the two clones and activating it while still in the air. The explosion, however, turned out to be much bigger than expected, as the heat from the tag's discharge ignited the spores. The flames would rise up to lick at her heels, singeing her clothes as it rushed through the invisible cloud. No spores that escaped the flames and rushed upward towards her with the air currents managed to touched her skin due to her preference of clothing, the pants and turtleneck gaining a slight smattering of the powdering substance upon them. Once she landed, she was about to engage her again, only for a few fodder to come at her, holding her up long enough for the silver haired jonin to pull out the general and execute him in a grisly and public fashion. The sight caused Akio to curse under her breath, the frustration only growing as she heard Yakoul's comments towards her, before she looked at the fleeing sages with a sense of uselessness. She'd had the leader in her sights, and yet had failed to do anything more than slower her down a tad. To say it was a blow to her already shaky confidence in her abilities as a Jonin was an understatement. She'd failed, plain and simple, and it was eating at her like a plague along with her increasing desire for inebriation. While all this was stewing on the inside, all that showed on the surface was a great amount of frustration, as she drew a kunai, turning her head towards one of the rebel's that she could still see. He was currently facing off with Yakoul, meaning that he was either about to be in for a world of pain, and likely death, or on the cusp of running like the rest. While Akio could careless what happened to the sadistic cat bastard, she knew that if those two chunnin behind Yakoul got caught up in a showdown between the two, they'd likely get killed by either the rebel or Yakoul. You could never know what they'd end up doing, especially in a fight. While she doubted that'd happen, if it did, she'd try her best to keep the two from getting killed in the cross-fire. Tatsuya Kajiya-Terumi Leaving Central Compound, Hamajo Confederate, Has a creator who seems to want him to suffer needlessly in an RP that's probably going to have enough suffering for everyone Tatsuya was currently walking away from the battlefield with his clone in tow, having had to summon him to deal with some fodder. He'd briefly entertained the idea of trying to help out the Jonin in attacking the the stronger rebels, but then he saw that Yakoul, who had been leaking a crazy amount of killing intent, was in the middle of that mess. Not wanting to be anywhere near or around that crazy cat . . . thing, he decided it was best to leave that sort of thing to the Jonin and to go and help with the clean up down below. As he stood at the top of the stairs, he looked out over of the area with a decidedly somber air. Well, this mission is a fucking failure. Couldn't protect that general, civilians died, and we weren't able to do any real damage to them in return. Geez, this is a disaster if I have ever saw one. As Tatsuya walked down to the bottom of the stairs, he'd forgotten about his clone as he thought over everything, wondering if they'd get punished for their failure or would it just lie on the Jonin. His clone, however, had stepped over to stand in front of Higoho, blocking his path with a smug smile. He waited until Tatsuya was out of ear shot, so that he wouldn't immediately disperse him upon hearing his own voice, before he started to speak to the prideful shinobi, with every intention of pissing him off. "Well well, how ya doin' you zombie-eyed, shit-dick. Have you come to bitch the enemy to death and swing around you small dick-compensating ego, so that we can all have a good laugh behind your back, Though, with those shitty eyes of your's, I guess it'd be the same as saying it to your face, huh." Bishamon continued to grin as he walked past Higoho, his eyes filled little more than chaotic delight. "But then, you must be used to people calling you shit to your face, huh, being just a branch member. I wonder if that's why you're such a showy bastard, just to make up for the fact that you're really just nothing and will always be nothing when it comes to how your clan looks at you." Bishamon would continue walking down the stairs, wondering how soon this would fuck over Tatsuya's reputation. Seeing Tatsuya suffer from his actions was just so delicious because the fool see's it as his own fault and accepts it without any attempt to clear his name. Gotta love that Kajiya code of honor, it's going to get him killed one day, but it also makes it so easy to ruin his life. Whatever the Hyuuga did, Tatsuya would look terrible, even more so since he used a Shadow clone to pass along such an insulting thing to him. A sign of cowardice that would probably stick with him for a long time, if not forever. While Bishamon was trying to ruin Tatsuya's reputation, Tatsuya would happen upon the guy from the scuffle in the fog, along with a few others. Seeing that none of them were luckily particular urgent or agitated, he guessed that things down here were probably a lot calmer than they were up above. As he arrived, he caught the tail end of the silver haired guy's question, and while it had been pointed at the girl he was standing with, another Hyuuga by the looks of it, he decided to step into the conversation, walking in with a small wave. "Yeah, it's pretty much done up there. Might be a fight between the fuckin' cat-thing and one of the Jonin-level Sages, but I highly doubt it. Either way, I'd stay down here, heard enough stories about the freak to know I want nothing to do with it and don't want to be anywhere near it either."	Name: Katon: Phoenix Egg Bomb(Subject to change) Rank: A Range: Mid Description: After making the needed hand seals, Akio conjures up a concentrated inferno of blazing heat, focusing it over her palm. It'll take a post for this jutsu to charge up, but when it does the flames will take on a egg-like shape as Akio thrusts her hand out to launch it at her foes. Upon impact with an object, the egg will explode with a huge amount of force and intense white hot heat. The radius of the explosion would be somewhere between 5-10m, though the intense heat can be felt from much farther away, burning skin, drying up moisture in the air, and causing fatigue through dehydration if an enemy is caught near the edge of the blast. The explosion itself takes the form of a phoenix rising high into the sky. The flames that the explosion created will stay for about 2 posts, however, the heat lessening by a great deal until it finally fizzes out. At this point, Aoi can use this jutsu with little strain, upping her usage to about 6 times before it starts to take it's toll. Seiteki Suji no Jutsu (Static Strings Technique) Rank:D Description: This skill allows the user to create strings of electricity that can either act physically as strings, or as a medium that can send small shocks to an opponent. One of this technique's most useful features is its ability to allow the user to detect outsiders. When the strings are placed around an area, they are often fairly difficult to see, and unnoticed by the quick eye. But when the string is used to detect outsiders, they can adapt a quality that is string-like and electrical at the same time. This quality makes the static strings into a string of electricity, but with such a weak current that it is rarely noticed by Shinobi who accidentally walk through the strings. However, when this happens, the user at once will feel a small shock in their fingers, or where ever else they are keeping the strings intact. But unless the opponent felt the weak current as they walked through the strings, the opponent will usually never know the strings were there. But beyond its ability to detect outsiders, this skill can be used as a normal string when it is needed but none is around, or it can be used to create small shocks to other people. However, the shocks are only a little bit stronger than static electricity, and usually do no damage at all. Jutsu Name: Raiton: Thunder Bow Rank B Range Mid to Long Can be fired at a target up to a 100m away Description: Akio forms a bow out of lightning chakra, from which she can draw back and fire bolts of electricity from, the amount of power dealt depending on how long she holds it for. A quick draw only does a low-medium amount of damage and has no lingering effects. A Charged shot, which takes about 1 post to form up, does a fair deal more damage and will leave the target temporarily stunned if direct contact is made. The charged shot can also be split into four homing shots, which'll lock onto the opponents chakra signature. These only do slightly more damage than a quick shot on their own, but if all three hit the same target, then the damage can be even greater than a charged shot and can explode out to damage foes within a meter of the target. Akio can now fire a detonation shot with a charged up bolt, which is less powerful overall, but can paralyze a whole group of individual for a few moments. She can also create a piercing shot, which has more focused electrical energy for more power and damage, but has reduced ranged as well, only being able to go about half as far as a normal charged shot. The piercing shot can pierce through most standards armors and defensive jutsu of equal rank or lower, not including elemental weakness into play, in which it can probably partially get through lower A-rank Earth Style Jutsu and be halted by upper C rank Wind Style jutsu. Static strings can be attached to the quick fire shots, so that if they hit, the user can hold the foe in place by running a constant stream of electricity through it, locking her muscles in place. If this is done, neither Akio nor the target can move so it's not a good move for one on one, but good for lining up holding an enemy in place for another teammate to take down. Edit: Through training, Akio has managed to work down the weakness of her static strings down so that only one of her limbs is paralyzed and not her whole body, meaning that she won't be able to form jutsu while holding a foe down, but she can still move, dodge attacks, and counterattack reasonable well, though she still has to be able to keep some focus on the connection while moving, or else it'll break, thus she won't be able to move as fast as she normally could. Katon: Myaku Hitofuki no Jutsu (Fire Release: Pulse Blast Technique) Rank: B Range: Close to Mid Description: An extremely useful jutsu, this one has the effect of flushing out or separating multiple opponents. Hurling a fireball about the size of a basketball, it is meant to be dodged in order to be effective. For at center of this fireball is a gaseous core which, when the spherical attack finally makes contact with something, will explode and this gas will expand rapidly in a loud bang. The bang is simply a precursor though, as instantly afterwards a sharp concussive force will issue out all around the center of the blast. Though the explosion of the attack itself is not very strong, the force it sends out is enough to knock anyone who is within a certain radius of it flying. Katon: Kudakasei no Jutsu (Fire Release: Shatter Force Technique) Rank: A Range: Close Range technique, with the base diameter of the blast radius being around 5 meters Description: Built upon the principles of Katon: Myaku Hitofuki no Jutsu, this technique instead acts as a much more powerful, centralized version. Gathering heat in between both hands the user focuses it until it cannot be condensed further. Manifested as a sphere of raw, glowing energy it is at first held at bay as if only for show. Then, given any cue, the user slams the sphere into the ground, causing it to explode with the power of pure heat behind it. The user is unaffected by this burst of power, but anyone within the radius of the blast suffers some unsettling consequences alongside the devastating concussive force it sends forth. This technique, by sheer strength alone, has even been known to crack boulders. Separate effects of the jutsu are that the intense heat dehydrates any opponents caught within the radius of the blast, drawing them closer to fatigue, blurring their vision and causing mild headaches all the while. Minor, first-degree burns may also result from this technique. Jutsu Name: Raiton: Raikou Hitofuki no Jutsu (Lightning Release: Lightning Blast Technique) Rank: C Range: Close to Mid Description: This jutsu allows the user to fire off a continuous blast of electrical energy at an opponent, causing only minor burns but a great deal of pain as it courses through the foes system. Jutsu Name: Raiton: Cloak of the Thundering Phoenix Rank: S Range: Self Description: A Variant of the Lightning Armor Jutsu, this jutsu cloaks the Akio in an intense aura of electricity that takes the form of phoenix around them. While under the influence of this jutsu, Akio's speed, reaction time, and physical attack power gains a substantial increase, though not to the level that is seen by users of the original technique, as well as boosting the power of her Raiton jutsu, thus negating the charge up of her more power Thunder bow attacks. She can also up her mobility on the battlefield by gliding and hovering in the air for short periods of times using the wings this jutsu gives her, though she has yet to achieve true flight using this technique. Finally, the wings can also be formed into a defensive wall at a moments notice, incase she's targeted by an attack she can't dodge, but they can only block a single attack of up to A-rank in power, and Wind Style jutsu of Mid A-rank and higher will always be able to partially get through these defenses. Once the attack has been blocked, the wings will disperse and Akio will spend the remainder of the jutsu's duration moving at a reduced speed compared to before, though still noticeably faster than her base speed, as well as no longer being able to hover or glide due to the loss of her wings. This jutsu duration is for about 6 posts, though it can be lengthened to up to 9 by feeding more chakra into it, though this worsens the drawback once the jutsu ends. After the base duration runs out, her entire body will become numb and cause her speed and reaction time to drop as a result. This lasts for about three posts, but if she lengthened it, it can lengthen to about 6 posts and only allows her to move at a third of her base speed. If she tries to go over that limit, though possible, it will result in her body becoming completely paralyzed, as well as the obvious threat of chakra exhaustion. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon: Shuriken Description: A basic tool every ninja should have, it can be lethal if it hits a vital spot, but they are also good in creating some space for the fighter. Tool: Chakra Pill Description: Weapon: Kunai Description: A basic tool every ninja should have, it's the only weapon Akio has when it comes to CQC fighting. Weapon: Tanto Description: A short, straight, single edged dagger that has no point and is used primarily for slashing attacks. Weapon: Ninja Wire Description: A strong metal wire that can be used in various ways. Weapon: Senbon Description: A precision tool that, despite it's low lethality, can be very effective in slowing down and paralyzing an opponent if they are placed in the right place. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 After the war and her break-up with Aoi, Akio has become a very emotionally withdrawn individual, focusing only on either training or her duties as a shinobi, and spending very little time socializing with others anymore. While she still has the sarcastic remark or joke ready whenever it's needed, she no longer talks with people in depth. If they try to get to know her personally, she'll either redirect the conversation away from herself or just shut down, not speaking another word until the person gets the message and leaves her alone. Along with this, Akio has developed a bit of a drinking habit, not a terrible one, but noticeable. She always tends to have one bottle of some form of liquor on her when not on a mission, and she can be a bit cranky at times on missions due to the fact that she can't drink while on the job, a self-imposed rule so that her habit never interferes with her work. On really bad days, however, one could find Akio totally hammered in her home, in which she becomes a depressive, self-loathing mess that is constantly asking people to comfort her and listen to her problems, as well as provide . . . other forms of relief. 【History】 Before the massacre, her life wasn't really that great as her father saw her as nothing as a mistake and an embarrassment for two reasons. The first is that she was a bastard child, a mark of shame on his honor as the Tendou family patriarch, though it was that same honor that duty bound him to take the child in, as her mother had died during childbirth. The second reason was that she was never good enough, and while she wasn't the most skilled of individuals, she was still rather good, some would say better than most. But it was never enough for Akira Tendou, he demanded perfection, and severely punished those who did not meet his requirements. And as she hardly ever did, she was often met with scorn from her father, who never once acknowledged her as his daughter. And while that should've devastated her, she didn't find herself minding too much. She never once considered Akira Tendou as her father in the sense that he was a man to come to with her woes, worries, and needs, as that regard went to her older brother, Kokatsu. Ever since she came into their home, Kokatsu was extremely protective of her, getting into several fights with Akira and most of them ending in some sort of violence. Since she was young, she never got to see Kokatsu darker side, and she believes that he wanted to keep it that way as he made extreme efforts to avoid telling her about his job in any specific detail. He also expressed some sorrow when it became apparent that she was going to be joining the Shinobi forces, though never actively spoke out against it, unlike her father who was certain that she'd never pass and if she did, never make it pass a lowly genin. If things had continued as normal, then he may have been right, for even she had begun to doubt her self and her reasons for becoming a ninja, of whether she was ready for the life they lived. But instead, soon after her seventh birthday, all hell broke loose. A ceremony was held, as Akira had decided to pass on his position as Clan Patriarch to his son, claiming he had never been prouder for him. Kokatsu took the Tendou blade(an artifact past down from Patriarch to Patriarch since before the elemental nations were even concieved) and, with a smile as bright as the sun, slew his father where he stood, dropping the weapon to perform a quick string of handsigns before slamming his fingers into the fresh corpse. An eerie red light rose from the ground around him, and it was until many months after the event that she would hear that at the time, seals popped up all throughout the city. And so it was that Kokatsu opened a portal between this world and a world of darkness to unleash death upon all who lived within it. Only a single order was given, spare the children of the Tendou clan, they had done no wrong. And so it was that behind a veil of darkness, hundreds if not thousands died horrid, painful deaths, all the while a menacing laugh would echo through out it all. When the barrier fell and the demons fled, Kokatsu held out his hand for Akio to grab, only for her to flinch away, looking at her blood trenched sibling in horror. Akio couldn't remember a time where her brother had looked more hurt then at that time, and yet she also couldn't remember a time where he seemed more relieved. He offered no pressure or force, just left without a word, and leaving her alone in a nightmare of blood, death, and sorrow. After the event, the Tendou children were taken in and eventually handed over to adoptive parents to raise them. Of those children, four would go insane from the trauma of what they witnessed as they grew up, one even committing suicide after slaughtering his adoptive parents. Tendou children where treated with a mix of pity, fear, and for Akio, hatred. Given how closely related she was to Kokatsu, there were people, kids especially, who would take out their grief of lost loved ones out on her. This made it hard for her to trust and approach people, and also made it so she hated her features that so easily gave her away. But in the midst of these hardships, an ember began to burn bright with newly discovered passion. She developed a burning drive to train herself, to become as strong as possible. She was able to pass the academy with only minor difficulties, and did her best in her genin missions no matter what the they were. However, in the early years of her life, this passion nearly consumed her, as she withdrew from everyone, constantly running herself into the ground, and then some, for a reason that she wasn't even sure of. In actuality, she felt partially to blame for what happened to Kokatsu, thinking in her subconscious mind that if she had somehow been there for him more, it could've been avoided. As life went on, however, she found herself to be taken unde the wing of Tsukiko Umene. The older jonin would drop by from time to time to check up on her, and if she felt it necessary, beat her in to shape. While at first Akio resented the woman, she eventually began to grow more attached to her as time went on, to the point where she thinks of the wild woman as the big sister she never had. Due to Tsukiko's influence, Akio began to open up to other people a little more and try to overcome her weaknesses. Also because of Tsukiko, the young Tendou can tend to have a rather vivid and imaginative vocabulary when sufficiently angered or upset, as well as having a bit of a nasty temper. As of now, she's living in a rented apartment in downtown, having moved away from her foster parents the moment she became a genin, never to speak to them again. The war was a defining moment in Akio's life . . . and not for the better. while she wasn't a stranger to loss or violence, she had never felt in the scale that she had in the war. Many good friends died in the fighting, only to die in vain as the Confederation came to rule everything. However, instead of being filled with anger and indignation, she just felt broken and afraid. As she recovered, she began to withdraw from the world, drinking more often, and geting into fights with her girlfriend Aoi, until it finally culminated in Akio breaking it off in a fit of drunken passion. She immediately regretted it afterwards, but instead of going after her and begging forgiveness, she simply let the relationship die. Despite still having strong feelings for Aoi, she just didn't want to feel the pain of losing her, imagining that it'd be worse than anything else she'd ever experienced. Since she couldn't force Aoi to stop being a kunoichi, she decide that it'd be best for the two o end their relationship, thinking it'd be easier for both of them in the long run. This belief has long since died in her mind, as she only continues to feel more and more empty inside, but she feels like it's much much too late to fix her mistake. So she lives her days in misery, with her only companions being the alcohol she keeps by her side and the odd stranger that it invites to her bed every so often. 【Family ties】 Akio feels nothing for her family name, and had nothing but fear for her father. Her brother and a few of the braver clan members were the only ones in her family to show her any kindness, though not without punishment. Her foster family after the Massacre were kind at first, but soon grew distant as she showed a great lack in interest in them. After that, they simply ignored her and she ignored them. Not the perfect home, but it was peaceful at least.

That's a good motto, right?” Tatsuya is tall at around 6'2, and has a rather muscular upper body due to his work in the forge. His hands and arms are covered with numerous scars, burns and callouses due to the work he does every day, but he wears them with pride as they are the symbol of all his hard work. His red eyes come from his father, and shiny red hair comes from his mother. He also has a tattoo on his upper right arm of Ketsui lodged in the mouth of an active volcano. He got it the day he became a Genin as a symbol to never forget the determination it took to get him there, so that no matter how long the road to greatness looked, he'd never give up. His normal clothing style is usually a plain white T-shirt, some jeans and steel toed boots( a nessecity in his profession). He sometimes where a jacket if it;s cold enough for one, but more often than not, that's it for his casual wear. His combat outfit is a black, long sleeve shirt, a jacket over that, black combat pants and shinobi sandals. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Tatsuya Kajiya-Terumi 【Alias】 N/A 【Affiliation】 The Hamajō Confederation, though he does have his doubts and could be swayed to the other side 【Age】 17 【Gender】 Male 【Birthplace】 Konoha 【Bloodline】 Terumi Bloodline 【Rank】 Chunin Psych. report. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Tatsuya is a more weapon-based fighter, specialized in Kenjutsu mostly, as that is the weapon he uses most often, and has the most skill in using. That being said, his Taijutu is serviceable enough that he's not completely defenseless without his weapons, but it'll only do him so well for so long, especially against a skilled Taijutsu fighter. His Ninjutsu is also quite good, with a focus on controlling the battlefield rather than simply blasting his opponents away. Up close, Tatsuya is a very good fighter, but he often has issues against distance opponent unless he can figure out a way to get them to come to him. He can either uses his jutsu to force his foe closer, or takes the battle to them instead. When it comes to using his Kekkei Genkai, he can sometimes use it to distract his opponents by making the ground underneath their feet really hot via forming lava just below the surface. A sneaky, but effective strategy, especially when facing an enemy of a higher skill level than him, as that split second distraction could give him just the edge he needs to either escape, or end a fight. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Lava Release Description: The lava release is a very versatile Kekkei Genkai that has multiple variations and abilities depending on how one uses it. For Tatsuya, he bears an affinity for manipulating volcanic materials like as Magma making a very, very deadly opponent to go up against. His Lava attacks can change the very battlefield, giving him a good amount of Offensive, defensive, and crowd controlling abilities. An added plus to this ability is that one can convert certain earth-style techniques into Lava style ones, at the cost of an increased chakra cost. With some practice, Tatsuya has also been able to create a rubber-like material as well, which he can change the consistency of his chakra to make it work as an adhesive. While he's not skilled enough with it yet to use it in battle, in time it could add to his crowd control and supportive abilities. Tatsuya himself suffers no ill effects from his use of this ability, and seems to have a bit of heat resistance as well, though not enough to make a real difference against a fire jutsu(this doesn't include his own lava, which he's immune to). It's a neat party trick for him to snuff out a cigarette on with his hands, but that's about it. Strengths: The lava style is a highly variable ability, granting nearly unparalleled offensive capability, effective defenses, and crowd control capabilities. Weaknesses: Lava attacks can be effectively countered by a strong enough Water attack, cooling down the magma into rock. Also, this ability is highly destructive, endangering both friend and foe if Tatsuya isn't careful about what abilities he uses and how he uses them. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: B rank techniques: Shadow Clone Jutsu C rank techniques: Fire Release: Crimson Earth Spider Earth Release: Subterranean Voyage D-E rank techniques: 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu Name: Doton: Ishi Yoroi no Ude (Earth Release: Stone Bracers) Rank: D Range: Self Description: By taking dirt and rubbing it on their arms or legs, after performing the necessary hand seals, a shinobi is able to create very durable defensive bracers that add extra protection when using the arms to block. The chakra that is infused in them help to soften the blows of any physical attacks. These are very useful for taijutsu users or to defend against an onslaught of upper body blows. These bracers are designed to block physical attacks only. However, by channeling Yoton Chakra into the Jutsu, the rocks and what not can heat up to a degree that while the burns they cause are minor, they can be extremely painful and distracting to the opponent. Jutsu Name: Tsuchi Tou Tou (Swift Earth) Rank: D, B with the addition of Yoton chakra/used with his Lava Creation Jutsu Range: Current range would be 10 meter at maximum, with 2 meter width, and the earth moves at high speeds Description: When performing this jutsu the user places his hands on the ground and causes it to move rapidly away as if it were a conveyor belt. As the shinobi increases in skill and rank the size, speed, and range of this jutsu all increase. While little more than a delaying tactic, if mixed with Lava Creation, it can create a rather deadly surge of lava heading straight toward the target at high speeds. Jutsu name Lava Style: Lava Creation Rank: B Range: 2 meters in diameter from the starting point Description: The user will first channel chakra into the ground, thus turning the ground to lava. The process is quick, as the ground will melt away into the liquid-like lava. This lava can be used to aid in his other lava based jutsu by creating a source which he can manipulate, instead of creating it himself. To increase the base area that is converted, the user must have both of his hands in contact with the ground. Jutsu Name Lava Style: Lava Spray Rank: B Range: Mid Description: After making the needed handseals, Tatsuya builds up Lava Style chakra inside of his gut before blasting out a jet of molten lava into the air, causing a dangerous and widespread rain of lava droplets to fall to the ground. The spread of this jutsu makes it nearly impossible to dodge, though it can be blocked if the foe has the capability. Alternatively, Tatsuya can also just fire the magma jet directly at the foe in a fast moving stream. Jutsu Name Lava Style: Weapon Creation Rank: D Range: Any active Lava source with in 30 meters Description: The user of this jutsu will first channel chakra into an active source of lava, which will cause it to rise up quickly and making the lava thicker then usual, allowing the user to then mold it into a weapon with a few simple gestures. The weapons created will be about as hard as steel, but are usually rather crude and blunt. Jutsu Name Katon: Nenshou Tosshin (Fire Release: Burning Rush) Rank: C Range: Sphere goes is 2 meters long in diameter Description: A two-part technique in which the user blocks an attack by creating a sphere of fire around themselves, and after blocking the attack, the fires converge on his feet, cloaking them in flames. The fire on his feet can be used twice to launch him at his foes somewhat faster than before. The effect lasts for about 3 posts. Jutsu Name Lava Style: Eruption Rank: A Range: Affected area would be have a diameter of about 25-30 meters, power explosions have a blast radius of about 10 meters(one or two holes), 8 meters for 3 or 4, 4 meters for 5 or 6, 2 meters for 7 or 8. Description: In preparation for this technique, Tatsuya will channel chakra through the earth to create Yoton beneath it's surface over a period of time (2 Posts). As a result of this action, the surface of the affected area will become noticeably hotter as the lava beneath is pushed toward the surface by the built up pressure. Tatsuya can then release this build up pressure by creating small craters in the ground with either explosion tags, thus releasing this pent up magma in a explosive Mini-eruption at every point where a hole was created. The more holes the smaller the explosion will be, and vice versa in that less holes will equal more power explosions. With the combination of the explosion and lava this jutsu can lead to severe injuries and even death if a foe is got unaware. It can also create several lava pools after use, which Tatsuya can then use to his advantage to control how his opponent moves around the battlefield. A side effect of this technique is that it will lead to a nasty surprise to anyone trying to move underground or using ground shifting Dojutsu. The former for obvious reasons, and the latter because it will weaken the ground around them, causing the jutsu to activate prematurely. Weaknesses are the preparation time, making it something that can't be effectively used without either a teammate or pre-planning. It can also be activated prematurely by the above method, and can't be used in certain areas. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Tool Name: Bag of Dirt Description Enough said, for Stone Bracers when there isn't much dirt around. Just in case Weapon Name: Ketsui Weapon Type A double-edged Bastard Sword Description Ketsui is the sword that Tatsuya had to make to be allowed to become a shinobi by his father, a blade of unquestionable quality and a showing of true talent and hard work to be made by one as young as him. NOt only does it have a keen edge and made from durable metal, but during the forging process(where a mix of traditional and modern techniques were applied) he inscribed special seals into the metal to give it an extra function. The blade could now store elemental chakra with in itself and circulate it through the blade more effectively, enabling it to more effectively take on the aspects of whatever element it pumped into it. This also makes it capable of forming advanced chakra natures, such as Tatsuya's own Lava Release, with remarkable ease. And since it's able to store chakra as well, that means that one can fully charge it before a mission and activate and deactivate the seals inside with a simple one handed seal and a little chakra. Chakra effects: Fire: The blade is wreathed in a thin, but intense veil of fire, allowing it to cut through metals with only moderate difficulty and cause third degree burns. Earth:The blade becomes denser and more durable Lava: The Blade becomes as Hot as Molten Lava, cutting through metal with ease as well as getting a slight increase in durabilty The charge is big enough that it can keep the blade active for a total of 5 posts. The Lava style requires more chakra, however, so he can only hold that for about 3 posts instead of 5. Tool Name: First Aid Kit Description A basic medical kit that holds several chakra pills, first aid supplies Weapon name: Shuriken Description: Sharpened, four-pronged metal stars, useful for throwing. They can also be used for close combat, but not very efficiently. Although small, they can be used to distract, pin down enemy shinobi, or if accurate enough, can kill or incapacitate an enemy. They have an open circle in the centre, useful for grabbing with a finger, to avoid cutting oneself, or to put thread through. The circle is also beneficial to the weapon's overall aerodynamics, ensuring more accurate trajectories. Weapon name: Kunai Description: A black dagger with a handle wrapped in bandages and a small ring attached to the end of it. The kunai is designed for thrusting and stabbing, though it can still do some damage if thrown despite not being designed for it, and is about the length of one's hand. Weapon name: Explosive tags Description: These tiny slips of paper with seals drawn on them can pack quite a punch if used correctly, and can even be attached onto an enemy directly. Also can be attached to thrown kunai for accurate delivery or have a bunch wrapped into a ball for a more devastating payload. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Tatsuya is an honest and sociable sort, one who believes that the best way to get something is to earn it through the sweat of your brow and the strength of your will. He's very open in both mind and personality, accepting of pretty much everyone, and at times a bit too forgiving, which people have taken advantage of in the past and probably will continue to do so in the future. However, don't take that as him being slow witted or foolish, as his mind is as sharp as the blades he forges, and he has a keen intuition, honed by years of attending his family's shop, for picking out when people are lying to him or trying to pull the wool over his eyes. He tries his best to remain courteous with all kinds people, but he's no pushover, and if you don't back off nicely, he will make you back off, whether it be through words or actions. Tatsuya is also a bit of an artist, putting his experience in the forge into various metalworking projects and sculptures. While he's not terrible, it's obvious to see that e's still trying to find his niche with the art, as every piece is very different from one another, and he has yet to see one he particularly likes yet. He's also good at drawing, but that kind of a necessity when making designs for weapons, armors, and other such works, but he does sometimes take time out of his busy days to just relax and draw the world around him, mostly just random people on the street who catch his interest. While usually rather humble and modest, Tatsuya takes great pride in what he calls his true art form, forging weapons and armors of his own that have a cool style while still remaining practical in use. He treats every work like a piece of art, and has also taken to learning several weapon types, because he always feels that if he knows how to use the weapon himself, he can better forge it for his customers. His favorite type of weapon is the sword, but he's also learned how to effectively use other weapons, such as the staff, spear, and Naginata. 【History】 Tatsuya's father comes from a clan of reknowned blacksmiths that originated from Mizu no kuni. They were known as the Kajiya Clan, and it's said that it was members of their clan responsible for forging the blades of the Seven Ninja swordsman. However, sometime after the rise of the Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki, a faction of the clan separated from the main branch and left Mizu no kuni, for reason's that very few outside the clan know about. The faction soon splintered off from each other, settling in several different lands across the world, keeping the name of their clan where ever they go to show that they still pride themselves in their linage. His father, Katsuo, was born and raised in Konoha, living there for 17 years before he decided to travel to Kirigakure in order to find out more about his heritage. It was there were he met his wife-to-be, Katsumi Terumi. She was an eccentric inventor, and often considered to be the black sheep of her clan due to her . . . odd mannerisms. While the two didn't get along when they first met, their mutual love to create eventually formed into a relation ship, and after a 5 years, Katsuo returned home with Katsumi to Konoha with her father's blessing, where they were to be happily married 3 years later. Fast forward 10 years in the future to the birth of Tatsuya, their second child and first born son. Tatsuya's early years where tough at first, as he was a rather weak baby, but he pulled through, eventually growing healthy and strong without any complications. Tatsuya soon spent a great amount of time with both of his parents in their respective workshops, and while he tended to lean towards his dad's work then his mother's, he found both of them interesting. As soon as he was able, he would assist them in every endeavor they undertook, no matter how small a task they gave him to do. His family was a happy and connected one, for the most part. The only real conflict ever presented before him was his father's staunch resolve to deny him from becoming a shinobi. Katsuo had seen both his father and brother become shinobi, only to die meaningless deaths and only him and his mother around to mourn them, and he didn't want Tatsuya to become just another forgotten grave in the cemetery, killed before his time because he was nothing but a pawn for the Confederation to use at their leisure. Tatsuya, on the other hand, was adamant about it, wanting it more than anything else. Finally, Katsuo agreed to let the boy become a shinobi, but only if he could make a weapon that would impress him, and not a second before. The task was seemingly impossible for a then 10-year old Tatsuya, but he went at the challenge with a determination that blazed liked a wildfire. Using Kajiya sealsmithing techniques, as well as his own talent and skill with the tools available to him, he worked on numerous weapons, each a good viable weapon, but never reaching Katsuo's standards until one day, 4 years into the agreement, when he presented Ketsui to his father. The blade was spectacular, it's functions both practical and unique to it. It was a weapon deserving of the name Kajiya, and true to his word, Katsuo finally allowed Tatsuya to be a Shinobi, though he still doesn't like the idea.

Tatsuya somewhat fears his Kekkei Genkai, as he's afraid that he might accidentally hurt, and even kill someone one day due to him not being able to control it properly.

51,161	1,381	68	1,105	2,351	Katsuko Moto This guy... Katsuko kept his gaze firmly attached to Yakoul in front of him. He knew the longer he remained the more enemies he would have, but his attention still focused on the cat-man. I haven't even fought him before and I can already tell. His chakra, his presence, his movements... He would beat Seijo if he felt like it. He's dangerous. Something I will have to account for. Katsuko's gaze briefly shifted around, looking back towards the two girls and then over to the silver-haired jonin woman before doing a general sweep of the area to land back at Yakoul. Right now there was only four enemies, a number he could manage. Then again he might not, depending on the true extent of the androgynous cat's abilities. His chance came when Yakoul backed away and announced his intention to let him go free. Obviously there was a good chance it was a lie, but the fact he moved to a distance where Katsuko could easily manage an escape is what prompted him to actually leave now. Everyone else was gone, the enemies would soon regroup, this was his last shot at escaping. Even if Yakoul wouldn't pursue there were plenty of others that might try to chase or track him. "For how much you talk you don't really say much," Katsuko said aloud, a cocky grin forming on his face to finally break the past minute of seriousness. "You might be able to intimidate weaker men, but the next time we meet I won't hesitate. Your psychotic reign is coming to an end." Katsuko jumped into the air straight up, pulling out the scroll from his belt. In a large poof of smoke he had summoned back his gigantic club, Saihyousen. Time to cover my escape. As he began to descend back to the ground he lifted the massive weapon over his head, timing his downward swing to smash the courtyard before he would land. The resulting impact was more akin to an explosion than someone slamming a club against the ground. Stone debris and dust was rocketed into the air in a thin cloud, the ground even shook like an earthquake, and a massive crater was all that remained of the area in front of the destroyed building. Katsuko jumped out of the dust cloud, his weapon already sealed away again, and landed on a nearby rooftop. The Confederate shinobi around ground zero would likely be stunned and incapable of following him now, with a few possible exceptions. But it was good enough. His golden eyes returned to their red color and he began leaping from rooftop to rooftop on his way out of the village. I won't say anything about what I saw, Katsuko decided as he fled the scene. It will only create fear. I'll just say that Yakoul is formidable and that nobody should engage him. No one needs to know the depth of his power if they aren't going to fight him. I think it's a him. He talked about those girls like a guy would... The thought was pointless and he shook his head, returning his focus on catching up with the rest of the Red Sages that had retreated. He wasn't going to report anything but it was best to regroup anyways. He kept a stern face, hiding the pain he was feeling throughout his body. It would seem that he couldn't steal Yakoul's chakra without consequences. Sapping someone dry is normally fatal for them, but on him it might just be fatal for me. Mirai Yumiya Alright, so Kanata had a plan. Between Yakoul and Kanata, Mirai felt that nothing could go wrong now. The enemy seemed strong but they couldn't be that strong. As their general moved away and gave the red-haired rebel a chance to flee, Mirai gripped Aneko's sword tighter and moved her robot arm towards her shuriken pouches slowly. "Good plan. He can't handle all of us at once," Mirai spoke, though just loud enough for Kanata to hear. She didn't want to be too loud and accidentally antagonize Katsuko into attacking them when the possibility existed of him leaving without hurting anyone else. When he jumped into the air is the exact moment that Mirai's confidence a moment before drained, the actual prospect of having to fight draining her of her will to do it. Then he summoned that thing again. "Get down!" Mirai had already seen a glimpse of what he could do with such a monstrosity and didn't intend to feel the effects firsthand. Instinctively she reached out to Kanata with her robotic arm, grabbing the other girl by the shoulder and pulling her backwards and to the ground. Kanata wasn't there earlier and may not had been able to realize what was happening in time. But Mirai was able to bring herself and Kanata to the ground by the time the explosive impact occurred. The ground shook violently and their backs were peppered with tiny rocks, but larger chunks of debris flew overhead. Those bigger stones may have hit them if they didn't get down, especially since they would've lost their balance if they were standing and been unable to dodge. Once Mirai felt no more pebbles hitting her she released her iron grip on Kanata and looked back. Dust was slowly drifting to the ground, there was a large hole in the compound, and the Red Sage guy was nowhere to be seen. "I'm glad they didn't fight," Mirai mumbled to herself aloud, picking herself back up. After a quick glance around, just to be sure there were no enemies, she stretched her robot arm out to assist Kanata in getting back up. "Those rocks over there could've hurt. We're lucky we didn't get hit..." Then her eyes drifted to the other side of the new crater. The unconscious Aneko seemed both unharmed and slightly less unconscious. The servant woman began to stir, slowly sitting upright and putting a hand to her head. So that's how she got knocked out. She landed on her head. The blue-haired teenager let out a sigh of relief and turned her attention back to Kanata. "Do you think... that we'll get in trouble? I mean... we didn't protect the general in the end..."	j8cob's Characters of Moderate Interest and Adequate Writing “Anything for the greater good; there is no measure too extreme.” A man of average height and athletic build, Ryuunosuke would barely stand out in a crowd if it wasn't for his aura and his wardrobe. He wears a white military-style jacket so pristine and white it is impossible to not see, a black formal suit underneath for when his presence doesn't need to be flaunted, and of course he keeps his elegant sword sheathed at his hip. Top it off with white dress pants, polished black boots, sleek gloves, and noble blonde hair and one can't fail to recognize Ryuunosuke at a glance. While his features may be attractive and his clothes may be regal, he is always accompanied by an aura of authority. One cannot look at him without either fearing him or being struck by awe in his presence. He practically radiates power. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Ryuunosuke Hamajō 【Alias】 Ryuu, The Great President, The Dragon, Lord Hamajō 【Affiliation】 Hamajō Confederation 【Age】 30 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Nobody knows, nobody asks. 【Birthplace】 Nobody knows, nobody asks. 【Bloodline】 Hamajō - An unknown family, only Ryuunosuke bears the name. 【Rank】 President of the Hamajō Confederation Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 A hero, a villain. A kind soul, a ruthless killer. A heart of gold, a fist of iron. There are many descriptions of Ryuunosuke's character that all depend on who you ask. To some he is a man of great respect, a legendary hero that has fought for his ideals and won. To others he is an opportunist and a fiend, an infamous villain that took power through bloodshed. The truth is these descriptions are all of the same man and they are all accurate. Though noble in presence he justifies all his actions as a means to an end. He truly believes he is saving the world and unifying all the people, and he isn't afraid to slaughter anyone that gets in his way of that vision. All who oppose him are an evil that must be destroyed. He is all that is good and just, so any enemy is naturally evil and irredeemable. The greater good, to Ryuunosuke, is something worth reaching even if he has to climb a mountain of bodies to achieve it. 【History】 The origin of the man named Ryuunosuke Hamajō is shrouded in mystery. There are no documents or eye-witness accounts, he seems to have simply appeared fifteen years ago as a mature and worldly teenager. There are rumors and stories of his early life but none have been confirmed by Ryuu. Even his closest friends and allies have only sparse details on his background. One of the popular propaganda pieces from the beginning of the Hamajō Confederation was the intentional spreading of a rumor that he was truly born from a dragon. This was intended more to bolster support than actually explain who he is, but it caught on as the prominent myth to serve as his "explanation." The earliest report of his existence came when a young, blonde teenager wearing homemade pelts as clothes while carrying a sword entered a clothing store in a rural town just south of the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning. When questioned about his clothes he said rather simply "my old ones were too small and I didn't have many options." When asked who he was, he simply replied "Ryuunosuke Hamajō." After performing several oddjobs to pay off the man for a modern wardrobe he left the city to continue on his journey. This was the first time his name was spoken and it was far from the last. Over the next four years he traveled across the world like a wandering swordsman. He was only a teenager at the time, many didn't take him seriously, and many more tried to take advantage of him. Despite the cruel world he lived in, he was a kind soul. A strong soul. He always spared his attackers, granting mercy on most who crossed him. It was through this kindness that he made his allies. In time he had gathered a group of six followers, each one a man or woman he had defeated and spared. These friends, too, had their own followers and connections. They were all powerful, strong shinobi from all over the world. People of respect and admiration, and they all respected and admired Ryuunosuke. He was a kind and merciful soul. He was a champion of peace. His name began to spread and his group was given the name of the Dragon's Den. While his fame grew and more and more people joined his cause, Ryuunosuke grew less kind. His merciful nature, after years of being tested, began wearing away when he was seventeen. The change was slow and gradual. Many didn't notice it, Ryuunosuke to this day hasn't noticed it, but somewhere along the line he stopped sparing his enemies. But it didn't matter by that point. He had a small army of loyal followers, positioned all over the world. Dragon's Den was becoming big enough for the Kages of the Hidden Villages to take notice. But by then it was already too late. All they needed to create a new world order was a spark. They had many thousands of supporters and the potential to gain hundreds of thousands. The idea of world peace and global harmony was enticing, after all. The message they preached was that only through unity could everyone come to a mutual understanding. Only by coming together could mankind be strong enough to carry on. The spark came when the leader of Amegakure publicly cast the seven prominent members of Dragon's Den out of the village. He claimed they were a cancer to the world, that they would only cause global warfare if they continued on their path. He demanded they leave his village and never step foot in it again. A fifteen year-old Ryuunosuke would've accepted the man's decision and demonstrated his kindness and understanding by leaving. But Ryuunosuke was nineteen now. He no longer spared his enemies. Amegakure was the first to be taken in. His army of supporters only grew, making Dragon's Den a very important and very powerful organization. This prompted a name change, at the behest of Ryuunosuke himself. If they were to lead the people fairly it could not be left up to one person. Instead there would be a council at the top, an oligarchy. These nations would become one big confederation, Ryuu proposed. And from that day forward began the rise of the Hamajō Confederation. The rest is history. In less than a year the Hamajō Confederation was able to secure all the Hidden Villages, forcing their respective countries into submission. Each nation in the Confederation was represented by one of the original six members of the organization, with Ryuunosuke serving as the President of the Council and accordingly the President of the Hamajō Confederation. Their victory was celebrated across the world by their armies and supporters, but their work was not yet complete. The world was not yet properly unified. Enemies to the peace still existed. He was so young then, practically ruling the world before he was even twenty. Times have changed, he has changed. What was once a kind boy has grown into a hardened man. Peace could not be maintained through kindness, he reasoned. It could only be kept through order, loyalty, and force. This was unanimously agreed by the entire Council. The groundwork for a prosperous future had been laid out, and to some extent it has succeeded over the past eleven years. Many people are happy and safe. But not everyone. The Red Sages, in particular, have been the biggest thorn in Ryuu's side. These violent and chaotic rebels. They failed to understand his vision, to understand what's best for them. Their mere existence was a sign: Ryuunosuke's utopia was far from complete. He hadn't achieved world peace yet. There was still more obstacles in his path. Even after unifying all the nations he still had enemies. And Ryuunosuke doesn't spare his enemies anymore. 【Family ties】 Nobody knows what his family life was like. When asked, Ryuu says that he loved his parents but they had passed away when he was only eight. He also says that he had no siblings. 【Dreams and fears】 The hopes and dreams of Lord Hamajō are no secret: his greatest wish is to unify the entire world in a peaceful, prosperous utopia. He has already made great strides towards accomplishing this and shows no signs of changing his mind. His fears, on the other hand, are less known. First and foremost would be the fear of the Confederation collapsing. But, after that, he is known to be paranoid of his own organization for traitors, constantly ordering investigations in an attempt to expose any and all assassination plots against him. A small fear he has that is only known by the select few he had begun the Hamajō Confederation with is his mild fear of crowds and public speaking. This is something he can keep under control, but he is always visibly uncomfortable when surrounded by many people. This also relates to his paranoia. 【Songs】 The Dragon's Name (Instrumental) The Hero's Path The Villain's Way The Conqueror's Blade (Instrumental) “Being the strongest man in the world isn't easy, but I wouldn't have it any other way.” Katsuko is not built lithe like most ninja, instead having a tall and muscular body. His extra bulk is always apparent regardless of garments. His signature red hair makes him easily identifiable, if his size wasn't already a good enough indicator. He often wears only the clothes depicted in the picture above, but he also wears white or black shirts with the Konoha emblem emblazoned on the chest as well as red jackets whenever he is not in combat. He only removes the jacket when he gets into a fight. Personnel files.

Prides itself on producing powerful shinobi, though far too small of a family to compete with larger clans. 【Rank】 Jounin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Bold, confident, and determined. Katsuko is a man of pride who values strength just as much as he values honesty and loyalty. He doesn't withhold his opinion aside from rare circumstances and is surprisingly a capable listener to the opinions of others. He treats others with respect, though his confidence sometimes dips into cockiness when addressing those who challenge him. Many find him to be a reliable person, the kind of guy who will fulfill a promise if he makes one. He will talk tough, and everyone knows he is strong, but he is never quite intimidating. He is just light-hearted enough to make him fun to be around but still capable of being serious when it is required of him. 【History】 Born to a simple family in a simple home, Katsuko was raised to become a shinobi like his father, Jinkama. His mother and father took in his older cousin when she was nine and Katsuko was six, due to her parents' tragic deaths in the field as shinobi. Between him, his father, and his cousin, the Moto household had plenty of shinobi and training together. While Jinkama had always been a prodigious swordsman, Katsuko and his cousin Keiko turned out to be geniuses in their own respective fields of taijutsu and ninjutsu respectively. As Keiko and Katsuko became older teens the Hamajo Confederation took over. Katsuko was only a chuunin at the time but still tried his best to defend Konoha alongside his family and comrades. But the opposing army was too great and the order to surrender was given once Konoha's leaders had been slain. The Choko siblings that were in control had perished and the jounin commander disappeared without a trace, forcing the cooperation of the rest of Konoha's forces. After a while Katsuko grew accustomed to the new way of life. But his father never did. Jinkama was one of the first to join the Red Sages, secretly leading operations against the Confederation as a senior officer. It wasn't until Katsuko was already 22 years old and a fresh jounin himself that his father was finally found out. In an ambush attack he was struck a mortal blow, killing him later that night from his blood loss and damaged heart. In his dying hours he confessed his plans and ideals to Katsuko and his cousin, spurring them both into action. The Confederation came to their house the next day, retrieving Jinkama's body and subjecting the entire Moto family to a thorough investigation. They passed and were let go, but were put under watch for several months following the event. After his leash had been loosened, Katsuko joined the Red Sages and brought his cousin along too. Unlike their father they were young and unfit for leadership. This made it easier to stay under the radar, but it meant they were only grunts in the grand scheme of things. Over the past few years they have made their way up the ladder, earning respect from their peers for their strength and skill as shinobi. Lately Katsuko has become interested in taking a leadership role for the cause, much like his father did before him. Only this time he has made sure to cover all his bases and prioritize the secrecy of his plans, which his father clearly failed at. Only time will tell how this strong, determined young man will affect the outcome of the brewing civil war. 【Family ties】 Growing up in a tight-knit household, one would expect Katsuko to be very close with his family. But considering every member of his family is largely independent, they are actually quite distant despite their good standings. Whether it is out of stubbornness or laziness, one cannot tell. But the Moto family rarely gathers, but when they do they all appreciate and respect each other like any functioning family would. Jinkama Moto \| Father \| Died at 49, former jounin in Konoha's armed forces. Akira Moto \| Mother \| 50, Konohagakure, owns a grocery store and is generally respected by her community. Keiko Moto \| Cousin \| 29, Konohagakure, jounin and older cousin that Katsuko grew up with. 【Dreams and fears】 Katsuko has a few dreams including establishing himself as the strongest man in the world and seeing the Red Sage's cause through to the end, to create a world where everyone is free and capable of autonomy. When it comes to fears he may seem to be fearless, but Katsuko fears humiliation above all else. Even death does not muster fear in his heart like his name being brought to shame. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Katsuko is a taijutsu master, brutalizing his foes through sheer power and speed. While his ranged options are limited, he has little difficulty in closing any gaps of range to maximize his offensive prowess. His durability and sheer determination is nothing to shake a stick at either, allowing him to tank blows in order to easier land hits on his foes. While his strength is already something fearsome, he is known to exploit his opponent to tip the scales even further in his favor. He may not be the brightest bulb but he sure is the toughest, and he knows it. Expect a beating from hell if you dare cross Katsuko. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Chikaroatoshi Description: An ocular kekkei genkai, like the Sharingan or Byakugan. By using his eyes as a medium, Katsuko is able to access the chakra of his opponents through their eyes (tapping into the first two of the Eight Gates). This allows Katsuko to steal his foe's chakra simply through eye contact. The range does not matter, as it is eye contact at any range, but the duration of contact that determines the loss. An inept user may drain chakra slowly, but someone as versed as Katsuko can drain an enemy of their entire chakra pool in less than ten seconds of maintained eye contact. The chakra that is siphoned goes directly into Katsuko's system, powering him further and allowing him to demonstrate more strength and speed on top of gaining more stamina. A crafty and debilitating ability, but not the most stealthy. When using this ability, Katsuko's eyes turn from red to gold and have a faint glow. This can be considered a warning, as any and all eye contact made with him at that point will drain chakra, regardless of whether they are friend or foe. Strengths: The ability to drain chakra from an enemy at a distance, without prior contact, is a pretty good strength. It stacks further when one considers that Katsuko can effectively grow faster and stronger through the duration of a battle while his foes grow weaker and more tired at a much greater rate than they normally would. Weaknesses: An obvious way to avoid losing chakra is to avoid eye contact. If one makes eye contact and then breaks it off, the siphoning is broken off as well. Chakra may drain at an alarming rate, which experienced shinobi will feel and realize quickly that Katsuko is draining them, thus allowing them to avert their gaze before they reach the point of passing out. Avoiding eye contact altogether prevents any less of chakra. However, an actual weakness here, Katsuko can only absorb so much energy before he would overload. This amount is incredibly high, however, and would require many, many shinobi to accomplish. A more realistic alternative is to make him absorb "unsafe" chakra, such as Natural Chakra, which Katsuko's body would be unable to withstand in quantity. If he somehow overloads or absorbs a substantial amount of unsafe chakra, then his chakra system will be disabled and he would likely die. 【Ninja techniques】 S rank techniques: One Thousand Eyes Technique A rank techniques: Chakra Enhanced Strength Great Cataclysm B rank techniques: Earth Release: Earth Spear Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall C rank techniques: Earth Release: Hiding Like a Mole Technique D-E rank techniques: Academy Techniques Vantage Strike 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: One Thousand Eyes Technique Rank: S Range: Self ; Line of Sight (range irrelevant) Description: This is Katsuko's ace-in-the-hole, his ultimate technique if you will. It requires no handseals to activate but takes five seconds to properly manifest. Throughout the five seconds of warm-up many dozens of eye tattoos appear across his entire body. At the five second mark the black tattoos all turn golden and activate. These become conduits for Katsuko's eyes. Being that Katsuko is now looking through many angles around him all at once, it leaves him with no visual blind spots. However the true power of this technique doesn't lie in visual acuity but instead by serving as a medium for his Kekkei Genkai. While normally a foe may be able to fight to some degree by avoiding eye contact with Katsuko, this technique makes that almost impossible. Looking at him at all will result in losing chakra, fast. Even more so: this allows him to steal chakra from many people all at once. Naturally this means his strength, speed, and chakra pool increase at a staggering magnitude of order. Whether he is fighting one man or an entire army it does not matter. The downside to this technique lies in its strength: by absorbing chakra at a much higher rate he gets closer to overloading on "unsafe" chakra at a much higher rate as well. A seemingly simple but devastatingly powerful technique in all, generally reserved for situation when Katsuko is heavily outnumbered but can be used if faced against a sly opponent that refuses to lose their chakra. It is worth noting that this will also steal chakra from allies, as Katsuko's eyes cannot pick-and-choose who they steal from. ANYONE who looks at him will lose their power. Jutsu name: Great Cataclysm Rank: A Range: Short Description: An attack that utilizes Katsuko's Saihyousen weapon. By using it's incredible weight and Katsuko's incredible strength, an earth-shattering slam attack is performed after leaping into the air. While the attack is clearly telegraphed and easy to read, it is regarded as A rank due to the sheer damage output. A direct hit is fatal, and even a miss can deal severe damage due to the shockwaves and shattering earth. The impact is like a small earthquake and can disrupt the balance and focus of both friend and foe alike. An imposing attack that is mostly for striking fear into his enemies through demonstration of force rather than getting the direct hit, though it isn't very slow so direct hits can happen with grotesque result. Jutsu name: Vantage Strike Rank: D Range: Short Description: An opening punch from a stealthy approach. This is often Katsuko's entry into a battle. Using the element of surprise a heavy punch is delivered to the solar plexus (from the front) or the spine (from the back) depending on angle. Can easily defeat a foe by itself, only the hardiest of people will can take the hit. Dodging it is the best way to go for sure. Like seriously, dodge this fucking punch or it's over before it begins. Don't test Katsuko, you don't want to even try to block this shit. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Saihyousen Weapon, tool or object type: Massive Clubbing-type Weapon Description: An incredibly heavy weapon that very few can wield. A three meter long steel rod with half its length fitted with two solid steel spheres. This makes the handle a meter-and-a-half and the striking area the same length. This massive weapon weighs a literal ton, meaning that for the few like Katsuko who can swing it it will provide terrifying power behind every blow. Not only does its sheer size and imposing figure strike fear into his foes but just one swing is often all it will take to make an opposing force surrender. Nobody wants to die from being crushed and having all their bones broken simultaneously. Katsuko keeps this weapon sealed in a small scroll he keeps on his belt, as carrying it around would be awkward and uncomfortable. He can wield it without Chakra Enhanced Strength or using his Kekkei Genkai, but without either his attacks become slow and easy to dodge. With his "buffs" active he can wield this behemoth like a samurai would wield a katana. “I just have to keep trying, I guess...” First and foremost, Mirai's most striking feature is not her blue hair, the scar on her nose, her red eye, or even her blind left eye. It is her left arm, or rather the lack thereof. When out of the house she has a metal prosthetic arm in its place to allow her to keep functioning as a shinobi. While her stature is generally slim, not having any more muscle than she needs to lift her own weight and move around at an acceptable speed, her prosthetic arm is a bit bulkier than her real one. As for clothes she generally wears the garments depicted in the picture above but is known to wear dresses on fancy occasions or wear heavier clothes on chilly days. Due to wearing heels many think she is of average height but she is actually on the short side, standing at a mere 158cm tall. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Pragmatic, cynical, and doubtful. Mirai has a bad habit where she doesn't have much self-respect or self-confidence. She is quick to rely on others, both in and out of combat. While she is weak-willed that isn't to say she has no will at all. In fact she can be very stubborn and determined when pushed hard enough to rely on herself. This can come across as almost hypocritical, as her passive and depressing personality would make one think she would be unable to actually try to do anything. To that same effect, once Mirai has actually bolstered her will she casts away pride, honor, and any other emotion that would impair her actions. There is no such thing as a "low blow" to her. If she has to fight, she will go to whatever length it takes to survive or kill her opponent, depending on the situation. She isn't prone to rage, but many think that she enters an enraged state due to her ferocity even though her actual emotion would be more akin to panic or fear. 【History】 Born to the wealthy Yumiya family, Mirai was raised just as one would expect from her class. Most of the parenting she received was from household servants, particularly her personal servant Aneka, while her real parents were too busy. Busy with what? Her father, Makoto, has been a part of the Hamajo Confederation since its early days. Nobody knows what he does, exactly, but he had supplied his fortune when it was first starting up. He doesn't seem to do much anymore yet still holds prestige and position among the government for his support. Now Mirai's mother, on the other hand, had even less of an excuse. She had no job. She instead dedicated her life to knowledge, reading as many books as she could even at the cost of family time. So that was her early childhood. She received in-home education, private tutoring from Aneka, for several years. But, as she began to mature, she realized that she didn't enjoy her life. It was boring, dull, had no meaning. Her family wasn't loving, she had no friends, and had no talents. When Mirai was eight years old she decided she would go to Konohagakure to learn how to become a shinobi at their academy. Naturally her parents were against the idea initially, but it was evident they had some kind of love or bond with their child for they eventually relented and granted her wish. Since there was no family in Konoha nor could her parents spare the time to go with her, Mirai was attended by Aneka for the "duration of her stay in Konohagakure." And so the two traveled. Mirai began attending the Ninja Academy and so did Aneka, despite the fact the servant was already a full-grown woman. Aneka Toyama figured she would need to learn the shinobi arts if she wanted to properly care for and protect Mirai. The young girl became a genin at the age of 12, but it was apparent that she was not particularly... skilled. She was among the bottom ranks of her class and despite growing over the years never really improved at the same rate her classmates did. At first it frustrated her, but after a while it became something she felt accustomed to. She was given low-expectations, little respect, and barely any time of the day. Ironically it was nothing new to her. Mirai couldn't make any progress as a genin until she was sixteen. A mission went horribly wrong. The squad she was in was supposed to eradicate a bandit camp. But somehow, some way, the two chuunin and one genin were not prepared enough for the battle. Once her squadmates had been defeated and captured, Mirai attempted to flee but to no avail. She simply wasn't fast enough to escape or strong enough to break free. The resulting beating she received ended up putting a scar across the bridge of her nose and leaving her blind in one eye. The bandits later tortured the teenagers, trying to extract information out of them. Mirai attempted to escape during her interrogation, prompting an angry and violent response from her captors and resulting in the loss of her left arm. That night the squad was rescued by a (better) team of shinobi. After the bandits had all been killed or captured, Mirai was given medical treatment but they could not find her severed arm to attempt to reattach it. She was later told that it was the Red Sages who had done this damage to her, and that it was likely her career as a shinobi was over. Her hampered vision and physical capability made the Confederation put her on indefinite standby, a polite way to say early retirement. While Mirai seemed accepting of her fate, her servant Aneko (who has been a chuunin for a while by now) knew that she was heartbroken. Rather than let her resign to her fate, Aneko contacted her parents back in Amegakure to update them on her situation and get their help. And as such Makoto ordered the construction of a prosthetic arm that wouldn't just fully replace Mirai's original but exceed it's capability in terms of utility. If she was going to be a kunoichi then she was going to be a good one, and a good kunoichi needs good armaments. And arms. Mirai was shocked when she finally received the prosthetic, amazed at how well it worked and how useful it was. With a new motivation to get back into the game, Mirai began trying her best to work her way up the ranks. After receiving a new arm and undergoing intensive training with Aneko she finally made it to chuunin rank at seventeen, granted it was by the skin of her teeth. Nevertheless she was proud of her accomplishment, despite her monotone demeanor and the disapproving looks of her comrades. Her next goal is to become jounin, though considering the slow climb so far she isn't deluding herself over the difficulty and time it will take. 【Family ties】 Mirai's family was never particularly close or intimate. Father was always busy, mother was always locked away by herself with her books, and Mirai was always left to her own devices. Most of her care was seen through family servants rather than her parents. While Mirai can't say she "loves" her family, she does hold a natural soft spot in her heart for them. The only time they really spent together was dinnertime and holidays. Otherwise they were all alone, despite living in the same house. Makoto Yumiya \| Father \| 42, Amegakure, his exact job is unclear but he seems to be a part of some kind of committee established by the Confederation. Chiyuri Yumiya \| Mother \| 36, Amegakure, housewife who owns a whole library full of books that is always growing. Aneka Toyama \| Personal Servant \| 29, Amegakure, Mirai's personal maid that has taken care of her since she was a toddler. No blood relation. 【Dreams and fears】 In her depressing state, Mirai doesn't have many dreams. But, despite what she may say or feel, deep down inside she wants to become someone worthy of respect. Someone for others to look up to, like a role model or a hero. While she has a lack of dreams, she has no lack of fears. Ranging from the mundane such as bugs and dark places to the more serious fears such as having no friends, having no family, and even dying. Death is what she fears above all else. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Mirai doesn't have impressive taijutsu, ninjutsu, or genjutsu skills. To combat her general lack of natural talent she has come to rely on weapons and tactics. She is proficient with many kinds of weapons and tools, using her skills and her arsenal to her advantage to combat her physically superior opponents. She prefers to keep range and use surprise attacks, making her a bag of tricks that could be potentially fatal to the unwary or overconfident. Mirai may come across as underwhelming but perhaps that truly is her greatest asset. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: N/A B rank techniques: Self Destruct C rank techniques: Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder Lightning Release: Lightning Rod Poison Spike D-E rank techniques: Hidden Needle Cannon Academy Techniques 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Poison Spike Rank: C Range: Short Description: A hidden spike lathered in a neurotoxin is propelled from the palm of her mechanical arm, reaching a full length of four inches. It pops out at high speed so as to punch through thin armor or cloth as well as breaking the opponents skin. Very useful as a surprise attack when the enemy is close. The spike will be retracted after half a second, concealing it and allowing full use of her hand again. The toxin itself can be lethal in large doses (i.e. stabbed multiple times) but most victims will survive even without medical assistance. The toxin numbs the target over time, eventually reaching the point where they have incredible difficulty controlling their body. In higher doses it even affects their thought processes as their brain is numbed as well. A single stab can't defeat an enemy unless they are small and have a fast metabolism, but two or three stabs will be enough to bring down an average-sized adult over the course of five to ten minutes. Four doses or more is when it starts to become dangerous, becoming lethal to the average-sized adult at six (that is: without proper medical attention). Jutsu name: Hidden Needle Cannon Rank: D Range: Short-Medium Description: As compared to the hidden spike coming from the mechanical arm's palm, these needles fire from the outside of the forearm in a wide volley. A total of twenty senbon are shot out all at once, much like an open choke shotgun blast. Naturally the lack of accuracy hinders the effective range, but the senbon can travel over 100m from the propulsion. However, actually hitting a target at that range isn't feasible. Rather it is perfect for a painful surprise on an advancing enemy within 10m. The wide spray practically guarantees damage and the unexpected angle of attack adds versatility. Once the senbon are fired this attack cannot be used until Mirai reloads her arm, which is better done outside of battle due to the tedious nature. Jutsu name: Self Destruct Rank: B Range: Medium - 20m radius Description: If desperate times call for desperate measures, Mirai can use her prosthetic arm as a bomb. As it is loaded with explosives, all it takes for her to activate the countdown is her own will and some chakra. Once triggered it has a three second countdown before detonation. This gives Mirai just enough time to detach the arm and reach a distance she where she will survive the shockwave and avoid the explosion itself. Once the timer is started it cannot be cancelled, but thankfully it can only be started by Mirai thanks to her chakra connection with the arm. An obvious downside is that Mirai loses her better arm from using this technique, and it took a good while for it to be built the first time. Getting another could take up to two weeks, leaving her weak and unfit for duty for that duration. Debatably the bigger weakness would be the possibility of her not getting out of the blast zone in time, as the fuse is short and the range is wide. Thankfully she's had some practice and could probably make it. Probably. Same goes for any opponents who realize what is going on. They, too, have the same three seconds to make a break for it. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Left Arm Weapon, tool or object type: An advanced, mechanical prosthetic arm that Mirai uses during her waking hours. Description: Made of steel and powered by chakra, this arm is far superior to the one Mirai had lost. Not only is it incredibly durable and stable, but it also has multiple hidden weapons integrated into the forearm for surprise attacks. It houses a mechanism that fires a brief volley of senbon, contains a hidden poison-tipped spike, and even multiple exploding tags that will detonate if the arm is severed from Mirai (again). It also boasts significantly higher strength as compared to her right arm, as the entire left arm up to the shoulder is prosthetic. Notably it also weighs a respectable amount, adding onto Mirai's total weight on a scale to make her seem much bulkier than she actually is. Despite this weight it moves at an identical speed to her right arm, though because it is made of metal it packs much greater force behind every movement. Weapon, tool, or object name: Kunai Weapon, tool, or object type: Kunai Description: They're fucking kunai. Weapon, tool, or object name: Shuriken Weapon, tool, or object type: Shuriken Description: They're not fucking kunai. Weapon, tool, or object name: Smoke Bombs Weapon, tool, or object type: Smoke Bombs Description: Small bombs that explode into smoke, useful for many things. Direct hits don't really hurt anyone though, unfortunately. Can be attached to kunai for greater distance on throws. Weapon, tool, or object name: Ninjato Weapon, tool, or object type: Ninjato Description: A short sword with a straight blade, positioned horizontally across the back of Mirai's waist. Useful for, surprise, cutting things. This is Mirai's primary method of self-defense should an opponent get too close for her comfort. Weapon, tool, or object name: Explosive Tags Weapon, tool, or object type: Explosive Tags Description: Chakra-infused tags that detonate a few seconds after activation. Useful for blowing things up. Can be attached to kunai for a flashy surprise.
51,162	1,381	69	1,306	383	Setsuko Casually Around The Damaged Compound The Hamajo Confederation - At this point it should have become normal to ignore Higoho altogether, but each time he had said something ridiculously rude Setsuko couldn't help but let him. Whatever the reason was she didn't feel like pondering over, so instead she focused back to the person in front of her. "I'll take that as a compliment." She had said with a small chuckle. Setsuko had started to get nervous due to the fact that this person was staring at her in an unusual way. She didn't want to ask why, so instead leaned to the side to look behind at the damage done from the fight that had just occurred. Simply by looking at it one could tell that the Confederation, or more along the lines of, the Shinobi of the confederation had lost a battle brought by the Red Sages. Time and time again she was told that she was not to take the rebel group seriously in any situation yet by the looks of this battlefield she was beginning to reconsider that. Not only that, but it would be most likely that they'd get scolded by the uppers on how they had horribly tried to keep the Sages from their objective. "Hm?" Setsuko barely responded to what Tetsuba asked as she continued to stare behind him at the battlefield, "Not real-" and was then interrupted by a shinobi that was actually up there fighting earlier. Setsuko turned to the other person who decided to join their conversation, and stood straight up again to point at the silver-haired guy."That's what I was telling this guy. Though I don't think we should stand here any longer." The fight was over, there was disaster all around, and she was no skilled medical-nin to help the injured nor was she going to take the place of the cleaning crew. "Unless you came her to strike up a conversation with a sexy-looking kunoichi." Setsuko sarcastically smirked as she placed her chin in between her index and thumb finger to pose for the two. Right after that she had felt the ground begin to shake under her, and saw debris making its way from the top of the stairs to them. On instinct, she reached for a Kunai that was in her pocket in case someone was to come at them, and would attempt to dodge the rocks that came after while trying to stay standing as the ground shook. A few of the rocks had made it through to hit her, but nothing too bad to where it'd cause bleeding. As fast as the earthquake came it had stopped, and after a few seconds of making sure there wasn't going to be another one found herself clinging to Tatsuya's shirt. "Whoops." Setsuko nervously chuckled while quickly letting go, and rubbing her hand on her own shirt for no reason.	l0ck0n's Decent, Mundane yet badass because she's a Hyuga of a Character "Chains hold me hostage. The ransom? Death." Setsuko wears her headband traditionally on her forehead with wrapping under it, so in case the headband were to fall off the cursed seal of the Branch House would not show. Not only that, but she also leaves her bangs out of the headband, and has it on the left side while having the rest of her hair in a bun. Rarely does she ever leave her brown hair loose, but when she does the hair is roughly 17 inches long. She has two ear piercings, and wears black earrings. She wears a black scarf that she keeps on at all times, a sleeveless blouse that fits her perfectly, and arm sleeves that are cut to reveal her fingers. When it's could outside, or she's on a mission Setsuko wears a styled Haori under a worn-out Obi that a store manager gave her for less than it's original price. Because she's a cheap-stake. She wears the Obi even if she's not wearing the Haori to keep from showing her stomach since the blouse is cut 2 inches below the chest. For pants she wears light grey shorts that have loose, but small pockets. Underneath the shorts she wears thin leggings while finishing it off with the traditional Shinobi shoes. Her height is 5ft 5in, weighs 134lbs, and isn't thin whatsoever. Her build is more on the Mesomorph side what with her having some muscle on her bones yet she doesn't have too much muscle. Her face is longer than rounder, and she doesn't care if it gets a scrape or two. Even if Setsuko is into the decent fashion of a Shinobi she doesn't have too cute of a face being more rough around the edges making up for it with a small round nose, and light skin.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Setsuko is nothing of the calm, cool, and collected type of Shinobi. She's quite short-tempered at times, and can be reckless either off the battle field or on it. Not only can she be reckless, but she can also be impulsive on the battlefield which tends to bring with it mistakes and such while not intending to do so. Even if she comes off quite strong, and well, rude to others she's actually soft-hearted, and is willing to strike up a conversation with anyone. Because she's willing to be social Setsuko is easygoing as well, and likes to crack a joke here and there without fully understanding that her jokes aren't as funny as she thinks they are. Despite taking most of her time to practice Setsuko likes to balance that out with being able to relax, and enjoy the smaller things in life like food. Food is her go-to thing to do as well as weapon shopping, and doesn't like to miss a moment of it. Even if Setsuko is easy going the battlefield excites her, and she likes to be the first one to enter it even if she hasn't gotten fully used to her fighting style since she doesn't always use the Gentle Fist. Because of this Setsuko likes to read different kinds of combat books to increase her knowledge, but seems to never finish one. Secretly, she likes to read romance books, and likes the idea of romance though she doesn't believe she'll ever find someone for herself because love in the real world to her doesn't exist. Setsuko doesn't easily trust people (males), and doesn't try to get too close to someone no matter if it's a possible friend, or a comrade. 【History】 Childhood - (0-6): Setsuko was born to a Hyūga Branch member for a mother, and a traitor Red Sage of a father. Her beginning years involved both her parents since her father at the time still made others believe he was someone else. Her mother had given up the Shinobi life at the young age of 20, and wanted to start a family. Even if she had put her ninja things away the Hyūga had still kept a close eye on her to see if her child would have the Kekkei Genkai. For a while her parents cared for her like any other parent would, and made sure she was as happy as any child should be in those years. At age 4 all of that would come to a halt. Sadly, she had been born with the Byakugan the Hyūga clan was waiting for, and was taken away from them to be given the cursed seal as well as be taken care of by the Branch House. Being a little girl she understood nothing, and would continue to understand nothing until years later. Right after she was taken her father had disappeared only to come back with a few members of the Red Sages. At night they would enter the Hyūga territory, and attempt to take back what was without knowing that she had already been given the cursed seal. The mission was unsuccessful, and the punishment was death for every single member including her father. Setsukos mother had been taken in under the accusation that she had been recruited by her father while they were together. Distraught, and furious her mother would become a shinobi once again to be able to get revenge on the rebel group who, in her theory, had used her to try to get the Byakugan for themselves. Through all of that Setsuko would stay, and train at the Branch house up to age 7 where she would then be sent to Ninja Academy. Base School Years - (6 to 10-14): While in the academy as well as in the care of the Branch house Setsuko only got to see her mother. She had no knowledge of her father, and at that she would not even be able to say his name. In the Academy she would get picked on by her strange eye color, and would pick fights herself since she was to take crap from no one. At one point she had met someone with a similar eye color as her who, come to find out later, was also a Hyūga. She would challenge him multiple times, but each time he'd turn the other way which made her angry. It was almost like he would make himself believe she never even existed. Not only that, but the bullies wouldn't touch him because of how strong he was, so she'd do what she could to prove that she could be as strong. Mostly to get the mean kids off of her back. Because that kept failing she decided to fight him head-on which ended in her losing horribly. Even if she had lost the bullying had calmed down since she had picked a fight with a strong kid, and would do her best to show the boy that she existed. High School Years - (10-14 to 14-18): Once she reached High School Setsuko would find out who her father was. Before she reached high school she was a determined little kid who would do anything to find him. Her mother had told her what had happened at age 13, or at least her version of it, and a year later would be killed on a classified mission. With her parents both gone Setsuko would train almost nonstop to help her deal with the emotions that came with her parents death. As Setsuko passed each grade she'd begin to question if what she was doing is right due to the fact that she had parents by the hands of the confederation no matter how one looks at it. In a sense she also felt that they had left her because of their own desires, so she decided to speak about neither of them from that day on since the only thing that came with their memory was pain. While in High School She would see the kid from time to time that beat her when they were little. She noticed that he was unusually strong yet didn't have the muscle for it which made her wonder what type of person he was. She had found out his name because he was quite the topics of discussion which was shocking to her, but had heard something different about it each time. At one point she had tried to strike up a conversation, but it ended badly; It didn't end in her getting beat up, but somehow the guy still managed to ignore her which, in her opinion, was time to call it quits. As graduation came her skills were better than average, but never as good as Higōhō Hyūga which would irritate her when she'd think about it. Not only that, but the Hamajo Confederation would monitor her in case she were to do something against them, and the Hyūga Main Branch would assure her that if she were to do anything out of the ordinary she would be killed. She was upset to know that what she wanted was not to be a Shinobi to the Hamajo Confederation yet to also know that she had no choice to. 【Family ties】 Setsuko at one point did have both parents, but now she lives alone in an apartment. Akane Hyūga \| Mother \| 23, Konohagakure, Shinobi to the confederation, deceased. Masao Akiyama \| Father \| 25, Red Sages, deceased. 【Dreams and fears】 Setsuko dreams of becoming a legendary Kunoichi despite her lack of talent. She hopes to one day become as amazing as the famed Neji Hyuga who was able to get past his fears, and become even stronger. Her main fear is to be abandoned once again by the people she loves/she is close to. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Setsuko doesn't use the Gentle Fist fighting style unless it is her last resort, or unless the squad leader demands it. The Kunoichi usually packs many different types of ninja weapons such as the exploding pouches, the Shuriken, the Windmill Shuriken (her favorite, and first resort), and the usual kunai. She usually uses these to fight with more often as well as close-combat fighting. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Byakugan Description: "The Byakugan is usually manifested as very distinctive eyes, characterized by their enlarged and featureless white/lavender irides with no visible pupils. While active, the pupils become more distinct and the veins near their temples bulge. The Byakugan gives the user a near 360º field of vision, except for one blind spot at the back of the neck above the first thoracic vertebra. The range of this vision varies between users and in fact can be improved with training." Strengths: Setsuko can reach a maximum range of 9 Kilometers. Weaknesses: At one point Setsuko trained for too long with the Byakugan to try, and master its abilities. Because she had trained nonstop with the Kekkei Genkai (Which is something no one is ever recommended to do) she has permanently strained her vision. The strain has handicapped her to where she may miss details while fighting. She refuses to wear specially made glasses for it. Not only that, but Setsuko doesn't know that the Byakugan has a blind spot. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Taijutsu Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms B rank techniques: Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Taijutsu Eight Trigrams Thirty Two Palms Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Taijutsu Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation : Setsuko can only hold this technique for a maximum of 10 seconds, and at that the technique is weak since it is something she was experimenting on while messing around with their ability to control the chakra better. Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Taijutsu Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms Guard : Like the Palm Rotation this technique is weak due to the fact that she is only able to use it as a defense. She cannot form her chakra into thin blades, so using it as a defense is her only option. C rank techniques: Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Ninjutsu Water Needle Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Taijutsu Gentle Fist Vacuum Palm D-E rank techniques: N/A 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Ninjutsu : Eight Trigrams Grid Trap Rank: C Range: This technique can stretch from the person using it to as far as 6 meters. At what range is this technique useful? You can measure this in 'long' 'medium' or 'short' but those are rather vague. If you wore depth, use a distance such as meters. Description: The jutsu uses the seals of the Tiger, Ox, Ram, and Bird. Essentialy it's like the Grid Palm technique where the user slams their hand on the ground creating a network of grids to the range they desire, but instead of inflicting pain on the victim the jutsu is used like a bear trap. Once someone, an ally or an opponent, steps into the grid network their foot/feet cannot be lifted back up, and they're stuck there as if glue is holding them to the ground. After that, the network quickly begins to slide up the victim restraining their movements little by little as if they're being tied up in rope. While the grid works its way up it sends pulses of chakra to the victims chakra pathway system not only making them feel uncomfortable, but also makes it a bit harder for the user to use jutsus due to the fact that their chakra pathways are being disrupted. The chakra pulses do no such damage a person, and if the victim can easily ignore the pinching sensation internally then getting out is no difficult task. To get out of the jutsu one simply has to focus a small amount of chakra to the bottom of their feet due to the fact that Setsuko doesn't apply much chakra to the jutsu, and because that small amount would cancel out the jutsu then the victim would be free. If they don't figure this out then the grid would slid its way up until the person is covered in the network, and then break into a million pieces as it fades into nothing. It takes about 5 seconds for the users chakra pathway to readjust itself, but no harm comes to the person. From start to finish the jutsu lasts for a maximum amount of 6 minutes, and does not warn Setsuko in any kind of way that someone fell for the trap. Once the trap is sealed to the ground it stays there, but because there's only a small amount of chakra put into it the jutsu fades after 3 minutes if no one has stepped in it. Setsuko mostly uses the jutsu to stall for time, as a distraction, and/or a trap. If she puts more chakra into the jutsu then it could possibly cause severe internal damage as the chakra pulses would become much stronger, but she never does to be able to use the jutsu often. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Description: In its folded state, all four arms of the shuriken are folded together. When fully unfolded the large shuriken can be thrown through the air. This is the first thing she makes sure to pack, and is her first resort in battle. Even if it's her first resort she doesn't unfold it unless she's willing to let it go (for the greater good) for the rest of the fight/battle since the shuriken isn't a boomerang that will come back to her after throwing it.
51,163	1,381	70	2,400	2,978	Tetsuba Zaisette Harvest Festival - Outside the damaged compound. Zay smirked uncomfortably at the girl's chuckle. A compliment? Erroneous as it was, the girl was awfully generous in allowing that commentary to slip by unscathed. Thankfully, it appeared that the bond between these two particular Hyuga wasn't very strong. The last time Zay had shown the slightest amount of disrespect for a fellow shinobi, he'd incited a verbal riot of sorts. Ah well, given enough time, Setsuko would come to hate him as well. The cycle of hatred was eager to spin on for eternity. Before he could suggest immediate evacuation, Tatsuya approached the two of them, further enforcing the fearful presence of the dreaded cat demon from wherever-the-fuck. Setsuko cut to the chase before Zay could speak, suggesting they move immediately. Zay's eyes rolled up and away from the two shinobi as he sighed in response to Setsuko's unnecessary commentary. Suddenly his lingering respect for the Hyuga girl faltered, and with it, so did his stability. Not at the fault of the girl, it as Katsuko's doing this time around. The ground shook violently, slightly upsetting Zay's posture as the sandals tied around his neck swung from side to side. Zay glanced at Setsuko and Tatsuya as the two collided for a brief moment, leveling himself once the quake came to a stop. He loosened his stance as Setsuko composed herself once again, huffing a short, heavy breath of air before nodding at the two shinobi irritably. He'd stuck around long enough to make sure there was little reason for his presence, it was time to hit the road. There'd be more Hyuga to converse with in the future, anyways. Preferably during a time of rest... And without anyone like Higoho in sight. "I'll be removing myself from this dreadful equation immediately, then," Zay croaked, slowly swaying his body away from the other two shinobi, and towards the center of the now devastated harvest festival. Part of him hoped that the other two shinobi decided to follow him, but he wouldn't care either way. There be an undisturbed patch of grass somewhere on the grounds... Hopefully somewhere secluded... And quiet.	Tex's "Astoundingly Deep Character" Emporium "A heartbeat is the body's most monotonous chore, essential though it may be."

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 In a word? Lazy. His lack of dedication, and methodical lifestyle is simply a byproduct of his mental lethargy. Zay is capable- Far more capable than most would like to admit, but his motivation does not match his potential. When speaking on his terms, rested and free of responsibility, Zay's speech is refined, polite, and he is very attentive to detail. In most cases however, Zay does not consider himself very 'rested' and acts completely aloof, purposely insulting the intelligence of others, and showing minimal interest in serious discussion. His attitude often causes conflict between him and his peers, making his life even harder than he already thinks it is, and perpetually forcing himself into a downward spiral. That being said, Zay perceives life itself as less than noteworthy, quoted as claiming the human heartbeat to be 'The body's most monotonous chore' on more than one occasion. Questions regarding his history or opinions on the general status of the Shinobi world are often met with a ballad of anecdotal references, and depressing metaphors that tend to highlight the negative aspects of being alive. Due to his seemingly infinite disdain towards basically everything, most perceive Zay as an angst ridden peon who cares nothing of his friends, family, or own well being. However, nothing could be farther from the truth. Despite what his nihilistic charade would suggest, he's a particularly caring individual that places tremendous importance on not only his own well-being, but that of all living things, and more importantly, the freedom they are entitled to. There's nothing more important to him than the heart that keeps him standing, and by extension, the people that give it the courage to beat freely. However, Zay prioritizes himself over all others. He claims that he would never risk his life, even if it were for the safety of a loved one. Truth be told, his attitude keeps him from actually developing any strong relationships, and his known family has been dead for years. Still, he considers his allies precious, and will do everything he can to keep their hearts beating if it doesn't end up putting his own life at serious risk. One could infer that Zay purposely distances himself from others to avoid the responsibility that coincides with friendship and romance, but since he is awfully secretive about his personal affairs, nobody's really been able to pry a solid explanation from his stubborn brain-case. 【History】 Zay's life started off rich with love and wealth. Born in Iwagakure, he lived out his infant years in the care of his mother and father, both of whom had little to worry about, easily living off of the funds that Ikaette Tetsuba, Zay's mother, earned from her career as a Shinobi for Iwagakure. Sadly, as expected, his mother eventually found herself caught up in the conflict brewing between the nations, which ultimately put her family at risk. As one of the few breathing Shinobi capable of advanced, and more often than not, forbidden Jutsu familiar within the dwindling Tetsuba Clan, interest in her Copper Release's industrial capabilities grew, and her family would soon find their beloved wife and mother, missing indefinitely. Zay's father took it upon himself to contact Ikaette's sister, Tskia, asking her to take Zay far from Iwagakure, hoping that she would be able to keep him safe. News of his death quickly rose to attention not more than a month after Tskia's departure, and left the Tetsuba Clan with only two living members. Tskia rose Zay as her own, treating him as the son she'd never had, and teaching him the basis of his family's ninjutsu. Even so, Zay was one to question every minute detail behind the lessons he'd received. this often lead to questions regarding the Tetsuba Clan, and by extension, his parents. Of course, Tskia was never at liberty to reveal much to Zay, in fear he'd get himself involved in the wars that might've followed the last. Due to the secrecy that enveloped his training however, Zay didn't take to his aunt's lessons very kindly, and instead spent all of his time training himself in the art of silver Release with his aunt's wisdom as a very loose basis. When the conflict between nations ceased, Tskia was beyond relieved, quickly adopting the ideals of the Hamajō Confederation as they took to power, and bastardizing the red Sages for their naive outlook on the way society had 'evolved' so to speak. She tried her best to instill these beliefs on a young teenage Zaette, but unfortunately for her, he was not concerned with her thought process on the matter. Fortunately, that didn't mean he sympathized with the red sages, either. His neutrality would prove a trying obstacle for Tskia to deal with in the coming years, and it strained their relationship quite significantly. Tskia would become more and more loyal to the teachings of Hamajō, while Zay would become less and less concerned with the goings-on around him, or his aunt. On his 14th birthday, it became painfully evident that Zay would not play any major role in the fight between Hamajō and the Red sages. That's what his aunt would believe, and to this day, that hasn't changed. At the age of 17, around the time that Zay had achieved the rank of Chuunin, Tskia had fallen fatally ill, and was home-bound. Although it was difficult, Zay was forced to support both himself and his aunt on what little money he could earn through the few missions he was approved for. Ultimately, Tskia passed away, leaving Zay to fend for himself. On her death bed, Tskia told Zay of his parents and their fate, along with the history of their family. Although he didn't change the way he behaved, his aunt's death, and his family's history took a serious toll on his inner thoughts, and changed the way he looked at life, and death. Zay, without a mentor, continued to develop his silver release on his own. Zay now spends his time conducting missions as a registered shinobi. When he isn't on assignments, sleeping, or training his jutsu, Zay spends all of his time outside, walking outside city limits as much as he can. 【Family ties】 Zay has no living relatives to his own knowledge, but it's likely that some have survived to this day. Regardless, he doesn't care enough to look into the possibility. 【Dreams and fears】 "I dream of a world where everyone can lay their backs against softened grass, and gaze at clouds without fear of fire or fist" "Spiders are horrible, but they kill moths, and moths are a plague on my very sanity" Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Zay harnesses the power of his silver release almost exclusively. That is to say, he refuses to even acknowledge Taijutsu, Genjutsu, and most other ninjutsu as a viable option of combat. Zay is proficient at close-mid range combat, with limited long-range options. He focuses on a iron-hard defense to compensate for his lack of ranged options. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Silver Release Description: Silver release allows members of the Tetsuba Clan to mold fire and Earth chakra natures into a shimmering metallic liquid, hence the name 'silver release'. This substance can be used in a plethora of different ways using subsequent jutsu as long as the user's chakra remains infused inside of the liquid, but without proper concentration, it is impossible to do much more than move it along the ground at a snails pace. It is also impossible to control this liquid if it travels more than 15 yards away from the user. If any of this substance leaves the user's 15 yard radius, whether it is in solid or liquid form, will quickly dissolve into raw chakra. Users can also reabsorb this liquid to replenish their chakra pool with diminished returns. Due to these limitations, silver release users are not very mobile, and instead rely on the agility and durability of their jutsu. In use, the silver liquid acts as a base for several techniques. The most common application is consuming opponents in range and smothering them to death. It can however be hardened to create temporary weapons, large scale attacks, barriers, armor, and various mechanisms relative to the user's knowledge of the technology they are trying to mimic. More advanced users of Silver release can sense the presence of other living things within their pool as long as they are connected by a constant stream of chakra, coat their entire body in an armor that removes their sense of sight and hearing but makes them nearly impervious to physical assaults, temporarily patch wounds by fusing the liquid with their skin, heat the liquid to boiling temperatures, and in very rare cases, transfer their body instantaneously from one section of their puddle to another with a delayed reemergence. It's rumored that certain Tetsuba could create golden, Copper, and even mercury based liquid metals, but nothing has been confirmed, and their lineage runs so thin that it's difficult to confirm or deny such rumors. Members of the Tetsuba Family are known to have very pale skin, reflective white hair, and silver blood. These effects appear to be purely cosmetic and otherwise have no effect on their biology whatsoever. Tetsuba Shinobi Strengths: Ray's mastery of Silver release is exceptional, and it wouldn't come as a surprise considering he does not practice any ninjutsu that would not coincide with his Kekkei Genkai. At his current mastery, Zay can keep a constant pool of Silver going at the full 15 yards from his body for a considerable amount of time before it begins to strain his Chakra reserves. His mid-close range combat is unmatched in many scenarios, disallowing easy movement within his radius without immediate danger. His liquid can nullify most wind natured ninjutsu, protect against some earth/water/fire natured ninjutsu, and offer substantial protection from most forms of attacks when hardened en-masse. Zay's agility with his silver allows him to cast jutsu in quick succession, giving the liquid considerable agility when he is focused. Weaknesses: Without a ready supply of silver, Ray is practically defenseless, only able to conjure weapons and small short-range projectile type jutsu quickly enough to defend himself. Even with a pool at the ready, Zay is incapable of firing ranged attacks outside of his range effectively. His mobility with the pool is also very slow, and he cannot travel long distances without being encumbered by his jutsu. While channeling a substantial pool of silver, Ray requires immense concentration, disallowing him to move his body too quickly at risk of his entire jutsu falling apart momentarily. If he is forced to dodge, or struck by anything that would interrupt his concentration, any hardened liquid could instantaneously melt back down into liquid form, and any silver under his control will fall back into his pool, including any weapons or armor he's equipped himself with. Additionally, his silver is highly-conductive, allowing lightning-natured jutsu to travel effortlessly along the entire expanse of the pool as long as it is connected, or close enough to allow a current to travel throughout. Certain Lightning-natured Jutsu can also pierce through any solidified silver effortlessly, and even destroy portions of his liquid. Conjuring the liquid, albeit quick, also requires an initial Chakra dump that nearly drains Zay of half his energy. Additionally, Zay can only sustain a pool for about 10 minutes before he runs out of energy, assuming he rations his chakra sparingly. 【Ninja techniques】【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Silver Release: Forge Rank: D Range: Short-Medium Description: Creates a weapon or device based on the user's knowledge and skill either somewhere in a mirror pool nearby, or in the user's hand using newly created liquid silver. The weapon's strength is on par with average steel, and resonate with Chakra very well. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Constellation Rank: D Range: Medium Description: Fires an array of tiny silver balls from either the user's mouth, or from any point in his mirror pool, with a width of about 15 feet. These have the potential to break skin and heavily bruise upon impact, but are not usually deadly. Can travel up to 25 Yards away from the user despite his limitation, but once leaving the 15 yard radius, they decrease in power to a point of absolute worthlessness. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Mirror Pool Rank: C Range: Short-Medium Description: The basis of Zay's Jutsu. Creates a reflective pool as the user's feet that spread out quickly. Can be channeled to extend the range of the pool, or to absorb the chakra infused in the liquid with diminished returns. This liquid can be controlled with the user's Chakra while it exists. The user can sense anyone touching the Silver if they are within his radius, and 'feel' their chakra network. All attacks within range, liquid or solid, are considered part of the Mirror pool. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Boiling Flow Rank: C Range: Short Description: The user instantly heats up a section of liquid silver for a few seconds. Effect persists if the liquid is solidified, allowing for heated jutsu followups. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Tempid Mail Rank: C Range: N/A Description: Covers the user's skin in a thin layer of liquid silver that can be hardened at will with other Jutsu types. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Solid Wall Rank: C Range: Short-Medium Description: Raises a wall at any point in the mirror pool to intercept an attack. Fast, but not effective as an offensive option. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Solid Mail Rank: B Range: N/A Description: Covers the user in a thick layer of hardened steel. Blocks nearly all forms of attack, but blocks out the user's sense of Smell, Sight, And Hearing. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Tepid Flow Rank: B Range: Short-Medium Description: Slices forth with a blade of liquid silver from any point within the user's radius, with enough force to sever limbs. Cannot break through guards, but will not be stopped unless blocked in its entirety; Due to its liquid nature, it will simply phase around swords and small shields. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Solid Flow Rank: B Range: Short-Medium Description: Launches a solid spike from any point in the user's mirror pool. The thicker the spike, the stronger, and slower, the strike. Often used in quick succession to create multiple spikes at once. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Tether Rank: A Range: Long Description: The user coats his hand in a rubbery silver, with a higher concentration of chakra, and extends it into a amorphous whip, which they can then fling around for about a minute before it loses form. While active, this tether acts as an extension of the user's chakra network, allowing it to exist outside the normal range of the user's pool, and increasing their pool's range to be 15 yards from wherever the tether reaches. This tether can also latch onto targets, including shinobi, but cannot be detached from the user unless they cancel the jutsu. Requires a large amount of chakra to form. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Zay carries no Ninja weaponry, and prefers to create his own.
51,164	1,381	71	1,787	2,152	Seijo Tametomo „Lady Commander Tametomo” Red Sage If I Die Tonight Seijo jumped from branch to branch as she jumped among the trees, heading for a nearby underground shelter. It was built in the Five Nation War 11 years ago, and had been in use by the Red Sages ever since. Behind her she heard the voice of a boy, which happened to be Nori, but whose name was unknown to her at that point in time. “An unusual kekkei genkai?” she'd ask, without looking at him, simply keeping her eyes on the objective. It was about an hour travel, even at shinobi pace, so they had a bit of traveling to do. “No, you can tell me about it now. I'm sure you know all clans are allied with the confederation in essence?” It must be the nerves of being in battle, or perhaps being singled out by Yakoul made him say stupid things like 'perhaps a new clan allied to the confederation'. The confederation didn't handle in alliances - just in politics. “Furthermore, I'm sure there'll be more Hyuga to oppose us. And there are several Hyuga in our ranks too. Civil war can split clans you know.” she added, pushing off against a tree branch again. She wasn't quite sure why Nori didn't know that they'd be tracked at all times, but that the Confederation also would be tracked. It was like a mutual understanding between the two armies, that they both tracked eachother and that there would never be a fight which both sides didn't agree on after this. “Don't worry. We have sensory nin at most our bases. And Yakoul isn't interested in stealth anyway. We'll likely see them coming miles away. I shouldn't lie to you - Yakoul is more powerful than me, but it isn't a shinobi. It's a weapon, and it isn't particularily subtle. That's why it'll never kill me. I can see what it does long before it even knows it's gonna do it.” Yudai said something about a first aid kit, but Seijo didn't answer. There would be medical attention at the base, and well, a shuriken wasn't enough damage to warrant using a lot of first aid right now. He'd just have to suck it up for the time being. It didn't take long for Mikoto to add himself to the group - or rather, for him to speak up. He too had some info he wanted to share. The audacity of some of these recruits was amazing, but they were annoying too. To think that she'd want every detail of every confederate shinobi was idiotic. Never the less she pretended to be interested, as to not give off an air of superiority. As far as she was concerned, she was just a shinobi, fighting for what she thought was right. Not some supreme commander, although she did think that it had a nice ring to it. Supreme Commander Lady Tametomo.. hmm.. “Sure, tell me about this Uchiha. Perhaps I can take a Sharingan from them. It makes beating Yakoul a little bit easier.” she said, seemingly a joke, but her face didn't show anything indicating that it was a joke. Perhaps they were serious. “Might as well take a Byakugan while I'm at it. Best of both worlds. Yakoul wouldn't stand a chance.” After an hour, give or take a few minutes, they would arrive at a hidden base - similar to Orochimaru's, but less.. active. Besides Seijo, most of the Red Sages in the cast would be with her. Most other shinobi kept going, returning to their homebases. It was clear that even though Seijo was a leading figure in the organization, but the organization was very decentralized, with other captains having their own bases, and different ideas on how to tackle issues. Never the less the Red Sages acted as one fist, which was a good thing lest they'd be wiped out already. Seijo had landed in front of a small tunnel entrance, with small vines hanging above and to it's sides. She entered the tunnel, approaching a small grey blastdoor. It was likely strong enough to stop a few shinobi for 10 minutes, even if they pelted it with strong jutsu. Even Katsuko would have a hard time getting through these.. As she approached, the door opened, showing a woman in a secretary uniform, with a flak vest over it. She held out a clipboard to Seijo, bowing her head slightly. Seijo simply took it, signed whatever it was and handed it back. “Let's get inside, I have another mission in store for us. We'll likely head out later tonight, or possibly tomorrow. It depends on what intel we receive.” she'd say to the small gang of Red Sages behind her. “And where the hell is Arima?” she asked in an annoyed voice, wondering where the boy had gone. She walked off, going to her personal room, making herself ready for the meeting in the conference room. She might not have explicitly stated it, but most of the guys in the cast were invited. They'd probably receive some message later. The facility was small, since it was Seijo's personal base. There were a few shinobi on guard duty, a sensory room where approximately four shinobi were watching the premises through sensory techniques, an information center with radio's and CCTV's as well as old style telegrams, a conference room which was really just a room with a round table in it, and some screens. Then there were the barracks wing, which was where there were individual rooms for all shinobi including the Red Sages in the cast. The rooms were small, with a bed, a desk and some storage items. Seijo's personal room was in this wing too, at the end of a hallway, noticeably a bit more luxurious given her permanent stay in this base. Seijo undressed herself and got dressed in something more.. comfortable. She simply put on a black top, some skinny jeans and white slip ins. It was more comfortable than her battle dress - though she looked much less imposing. When she was done, she left her room, walking past the other rooms and going towards the conference room. As she entered she pressed a button, dimming the lights in the room and turning on the screens. On the screens were pictures of two warehouses, close to each other, within a fenced off area. Kohonjenpou Warehouse, Amegakure, 2.13 AM. it said below the pictures, indicating that this was indeed a warehouse within Amegakure. Luckily for the Red Sages these warehouses weren't specifically in Amegakure, given that Amegakure had grown tremendously over the last 11 years. More so, it was in the industrial area of the large village, though it was more like a mega-city at this point in time. As soon as she had thought of what to say, she'd walk out of the conference room and hail the nearby secretary-like looking woman. “Call all the Shinobi that entered with me, and bring them to the conference room. We'll be taking back some things that were stolen from us.” The lady bowed slightly with a nod and then rushed off to bring all the people into the room. Every Red Sage within the compound would get one of these invitations - nobody was exempt. As soon as that had been arranged, Seijo went back in and sat down on the large chairs in front of the screen, waiting for the rest to arrive. As soon as everyone had arrived and taken a seat in the comfy, but ultimately simple chairs, she'd start the meeting. “Welcome. I hope everyone is alright after that interesting mission. Is there anyone who has anything to remark, comment, or tell me about it?” she'd ask, waiting for a reply. Meanwhile the pictures were still up on the screens behind her, so anyone could take a look at them. Higōhō Hyuga „Bastard” Hamajō Confederation Higiho kept walking as Tanjo answered him, only mumbling something to himself about the 11th corps being assholes, sneaky, and scumbags. Probably because they liked to stalk around the Hyuga compound at night, thinking that they were invisible to the Byakugan somehow. Nothing was less true. The Uchiha girl as well as Tanji elected to follow him, but that didn't bother Higoho nor did it make him feel any better. As they walked up the stairs Higoho's path was suddenly blocked, by some red wearing bastard. If he remembered correctly this fellow was some sort of.. smith? Regardless, he was a Konohagakure shinobi, that much was sure, as could be indicated by the Konoha headband he was wearing. The guy started spouting some shit in Higoho's direction, a mistake by any means given Higoho was quick to anger at most times. He stopped him mid-sentences, and grabbed him by the collar. He had accepted everything the guy had said, to a degree, though he was visibly angering more and more up until the point where Tatsuya, or rather, 'Bishamon' had called him a bastard, and making it known he was a branch member. “What did you say, you fucking dipshit?” he said, saying the words so venomous that if someone had called him a viper, they might've been right. “Maybe my clan looks at me like I'm nothing, but I can assure you that everyone in Konoha looks at your clan as nothing more than glorified smith's, useless pieces of garbage that can be discarded at will. I'll gladly be a bastard, son of a gambling addict and a whore, before I would ever consider being part of your useless clan, you pig fucker.” he said before lifting his right arm into the sky and bringing it down on Tatsuya - Bishamon - his face. Again, the clone would likely disappear, only angering Higoho some more. His fist now began shaking as he withdrew it from the cloud of smoke the clone would leave behind, before forming the tiger seal quickly. “BYAKUGAN!” he said, before the veins around his eyes tensed up again. Using the Byakugan he scouted the area, looking for wherever that fucker was that had used his clone so cowardly to insult him for no reason. He finally found him, standing downstairs again with the people he'd just left. He groaned in anger, pushing himself past both Tanji and Kaori, shoving them aside as he directly headed for Tatsuya. As he approached the boy, he pointed his finger at him. “HEY! Who the fuck do you think you are, using your clones to insult me?! Come here and take your punishment you useless piece of garbage!” Higoho was approaching the boy rapidly, ignoring those around himself and Tatsuya. He walked past Zetsuba, who was seemingly heading away from the group, almost running into him. It was then that Katsuko decided to make his explosive extraction, smashing his club into the ground and sending dust and debris into the air. Higoho got caught in the cloud of dust, but luckily wasn't smashed aside due to having some distance from the landing point of the giant club Katsuko had used. Never the less he was shook a little bit, but not enough to stop him. He walked out of the cloud towards Tatsuya, still heading for him, seemingly not even shaken by Katsuko's exfiltration. The cloud might've just made him look even more impressive than he really was. “SETSUKO! What are you doing talking with this scumbag? Do you know what he thinks of our clan, and of the side branch? I'll fucking kill him, so get out of my fucking way. I'm warning you all.” he'd say to Setsuko, who almost seemed to be flirting with Tatsuya. Another reason to think even lower of Setsuko, who barely had any mastery of the Gentle Fist at all. Unfit for the Hyuga name, but a Hyuga none the less. The only reason he knew her at all was because she'd attempted to speak to him a few times, but Higoho was largely uninterested by her, opting to practice his gentle fist instead, or even doing errands such as going grocery shopping. Anything was better than talking to her, but now, now she was flirting with the enemy..?	Partisans Cool Guy Group Entry not allowed to peasants I'm talking about you Savato “To kindle that memory is all I strive for - all this, it has no greater purpose to me. But it's all I can do.” Pictured on the left, Seijo is obviously a well matured woman. Her age would probably be estimated in her early twenties, around 23 or so. That seems to be fairly accurate given her personnel files. What stands out most in her physique are probably her white, short hair and her large breast size. She struts a feminine hourglass figure with wide hips and a wide chest, and a smaller waistline. Adding to that her hips often sway side to side effortlessly, only adding to her appearance as a good looking woman. She stands rather tall for a woman at about 1.74m, and weighs approximately 62 kilo's, though you can guess where most of that weight is located. Her jawline is sharp, almost as if drawn with a pencil and a ruler. Her chin is slightly pointed, but rounded off enough to stop it from appearing like a pointy spear, ready to pierce your body. She has a small mouth with somewhat thin lips, which are pale in color and are only a slight tint darker than her skin. Her large eyes are a brown colour, framed by her eyebrows. Her eyebrows are thin, most likely maintained by Seijo herself. The only thing that stops people from seeing her as only a beautiful woman, are most likely her facial expressions. She's quick to anger. Personnel files.

Should be obvious, heh. 【Sexuality】 Noticeably bisexual. 【Birthplace】 Amegakure. 【Bloodline】 Tametomo. 【Rank】 Lady Commander of the Red Sages, approximated jonin level. Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Assessments of Seijo have shown her to be a brotherly-friendly type of person. She's someone that enjoys very much when you fall down face first in the muddy puddle, and who will gladly spend a few years laughing about that. Never the less she's outgrown that feeling, or at the very least tried to. She's more serious now, which is in line with her position as Lady Commander of the Red Sages. She's still bitter - about the confederation, about the wars, about everything really, and she makes no attempts to hide that. She hates everything about the Confederation, and in her mind, if you are not a Red Sage, you must be a confederate sympathizer. That has grown increasingly prominent in her plans on beating the Confederation now that her brother Tarara died. She's very vengeful, you could say, and it's hard for her to let go of a grudge. Besides this she's also very cocky when it comes down to it, perhaps a bit ruthless, but so far nobody has really dared to stand up against her or question her plans - and she intends to keep it that way. To her, nothing will stand in the way of beating the Confederation, not even her own death. And while before she was fighting merely for freedom, since Tarara's death she's also fighting for him. 【History】 Seijo was born in Amegakure two years apart from her older brother Tarara. They were a semi-happy family, as life in Amegakure wasn't always that great. Especially when it became apparent that two Amegakure shinobi, Ayame and Fujitora, had taken power in Konohagakure. The Amegakure people faced paranoia from all other nations than Konohagakure, seriously hurting their trade power. Then again, it didn't seem to matter much as shortly after Ayame and Fujitora came to power wars started breaking out. Some were even started by Ayame and Fujitora, so it was no surprise Amegakure got involved quickly. By the time that had all happened, Seijo was already a shinobi of fighting age, and was pushed to the front. Luckily for the family all our of them were shinobi, her mother being a strong shinobi with some sensory powers, her father being a taijutsu specialist and her older brother, Tarara, being simply a shinobi. What put Seijo apart from the rest of her family was the utilization of a special kekkei genkai that seemed to have skipped a few generations. In the wars sometimes she'd fight alongside her family, sometimes she'd fight alone with her own squad, but luckily for them they all returned home safe and sound - though Tarara had lost an eye to an enemy kunai. The wars weren't really finished, but something greater was at large. The Confederation arose some time later, and Amegakure being a small village wasn't able to withstand the pressure. They were forced to integrate into the Confederation and were made into the capital - many Amegakure citizens were forced to leave to make way for presidential buildings, apartments for envoys etcetera. While Seijo's mother and father remained behind to 'hold down the fort', Tarara and Seijo left to join up with a band of 'outlaws' that roamed the land. They were Amegakure shinobi who refused to submit to the Confederation, so not quite the rebels they were made out to be. They roamed around the lands for some time and sometimes clashed with other shinobi groups, conflicting for reasons that were no longer valid ever since the confederation had taken over. Over time Tarara grew to become the leader and Seijo his right hand, since there were deaths aplenty in these times and the leaders were usually prime targets - if not for mutiny then for battle with other shinobi groups. At that time the Red Sages were already around and Tarara led the group to join with the Red Sages. The organisation was picking up pace quickly and they made Tarara a captain, and was immediately sent out on missions. The missions varied greatly and Seijo was sometimes sent on missions too, ranging from picking up some equipment, to sabotaging infrastructure. Over time Tarara showed his leadership qualities again and when the previous leader died from old age, Tarara was designated to take over. Seijo wasn't bitter about being in his shadow so much, just wishing to do what was right for her family. But unfortunately Tarara didn't last long, as he was assasinated in the dead of the night by some special operations force from the Confederation. The fight didn't last long at all - Tarara and the few shinobi that were around put up a fierce fight but there were many shinobi, and not enough of the Red Sages. Before reinforcements could arrive Tarara was killed. There was no designation of leadership. To Seijo, there was no question who would take over. It would be her, or she'd leave the Red Sages and do the job herself. But when she claimed leadership, there wasn't anyone that wished to oppose her at that time. The fire burning in her eyes now was enough to dissuade anyone from attempting that, even if they had wanted to. 【Family ties】 The family Seijo grew up in wasn't anything special. There's no sobstories involved, with dead parents, loss of loved ones in the past, growing up an orphan. And there weren't so many happy stories, given that they were in Amegakure, which wasn't exactly the most peaceful nor rich place in the world. Never the less she loves her family, or what is left of it at the current point in time. After all, conflict breeds death. Tarara Tametomo \| Brother \| 30 at time of death, Amegakure, lord commander of the Red Sages. He always loved Red Panda's. Seijo didn't, and she regrets that now. Oiro Tametomo \| Father \| 56, Amegakure, ex-shinobi, currently has a ramen restaurant that serves to the poor. It also serves to the rich. Really, it serves to anyone, he just says he serves to the poor because that sounds better. Rei Tametomo \| Mother \| 54, Amegakure, ex-kunoichi and professional nagger. She likes to nag about a lot of things, especially about Oiro not making his ramen properly. 【Dreams and fears】 Seijo's dreams are really only related to destroying or atleast getting even with the confederation. Besides that she wishes to see her father and mother again in peace one day, but she realizes that that might not be a possibility. Another dream is to meet with one of the Choko siblings - Fujitora or Ayame - though she has heard that it's possible both are deceased since the Confederation took over. Her fears, well, she hasn't many, which has more to do with her attempts at being seen as a coldheaded leader. She ofcourse fears losing her life - she is human and every human fears this. But this fear isn't in the back of her head whenever she enters battle. A fear that is also present is the fear of losing her followers - while she doesn't care directly for their support, she knows she needs them to succeed in her goals. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Seijo is a medium distance fighter with a focus on utilizing jutsu to keep the enemy at bay and kill them. That aside however she possesses some strength and is capable of using taijutsu if she needs to as well - quite adequately even. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Fungus Release Description: The Fungus release allows the user a control over fungal-style plants and moss, which would be able to sprout from the users touch. Remarkably harmless in how it sounds, it's been weaponized quite well through years of practice. The origins of this release are unknown, but the uses are not. It doesn't manifest in clear sight, as the fungus used in this release are housed inside the users body, feeding off of the waste the host produces. As such the user has a notoriously quicker metabolism, as well as a noticeably lower rate of human waste dispersion. In use, the release manifests itself through the obvious moss and fungus it produces. The moss is highly flammable, but the large area of effect jutsu's that can be used with it can cause a spreading fire, or even an explosion, since the spores it releases are very dense. This might inadvertently trap everyone inside the technique, friend or foe, in a fiery vortex. Besides that, the moss has some interesting capabilities, such as genjutsu inducing properties, poison inducing properties or even a chakra and dead tissue absorbing quality, much a kin to real moss and fungi. Some specific branch of the fungi even have mind-controlling capabilities, but it's required to induce the fungal spores into the target by touch, after which it will grow it's way towards the targets brain internally and take over, collect info or possibly control them. Strengths: Versatile and allows the user to regain strength and chakra mid-battle through absorbtion of dead tissue. It's got a great variety for many situations and it's not obvious exactly what is going on with this bloodline limit until it's used. Weaknesses: Fire and (controlled) chakrablasts can somewhat easily deal with the fungi, although you have to be careful with the chakra since the moss can also feed off of it if used improperly. Besides that, it becomes easy to see what the bloodline limit entails once it's used, as it's obvious this is moss or fungus. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu Assimilate All Creation Technique B rank techniques: Barrier: Dome Method Technique 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Transportation Technique Rank: C Range: N/A. Description: Forming the tiger seal, the user sinks into the ground into a small circle of moss with toadstools in it, seemingly dissapearing. A simple transportation technique, this technique will then allow the user to appear somewhere else in the same circle of moss with toadstools in it, which seem to appear out of nowhere to anyone watching. The technique is usable in battle, but the sinking effect is slow allowing opponents to land hits while she is 'sinking' into the patch of moss. Never the less, the appearing effect is quickly, allowing Seijo to appear out of nowhere rather quick and attacking. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Invocation of Nature Rank: B Range: 500m diameter. Description: After forming a boar-hare-ram seal string, and then slamming the palm into the ground, the user can transform the area around themselves into a mossy field by spreading the moss inside their body rapidly over the land, capable of terraforming even the most arid lands into moss and fungus covered 'grasslands' which will quickly (10 minutes) give rise to many forms of plantlife and even small trees (30 minutes). This technique seems semi-useless but it allows the user to transform land into something both useful, and to create a place where she is at home. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Control of Nature Rank: B Range: 500m diameter. Description: Using the moss that is already present in an area, the user is able to control the fungus and moss to a degree, making it capable of grabbing feet, forming walls and also spreading it even further, as long as the controlled substance stays in contact with moss or the user. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Deterioration of Spores Rank: B Range: A cone of 20m outwards of the user, in a triangle shape. Description: Inhaling deeply and placing an open palm in front of the mouth, the user exhales and blows out a large amount of spores over the area in front of her, which carry a poisonous substance that can cause anyone that inhales the spores to start breathing heavily, growing stronger and ultimately choking them by growing fungal growths in their throat over the course of a week if left untreated. Anyone that gets into contact with them externally, such as skin contact, will develop rashes which burn heavily, but are non lethal and can easily be treated as well. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Fungal Chakra Sap technique Rank: A Range: Touch. Description: After spreading fungus from one person (user) to the other (target) the user is able to 'infect' the target with fungus, by touching them and so spreading the fungus and moss to them. The user might notice, but will find it is hard to get rid of the fungus once it's internal through the chakra tenketsu. Once inside, the fungus will slowly sap away the enemies chakra, eating it to strengthen itself. After approximately a minute, the chakra eating fungus will be 'full' and detach itself, either falling off of the body, or being taken away by the blood system of the target. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Hallucination of Spores Rank: B Range: A cone of 50m outwards from the user. Description: Inhaling deeply and placing an open palm in front of the mouth, the user exhales and blows out a large amount of spores over the area in front of her, which are infused with the users' chakra and can carry over a genjutu upon being touched by a spore. Since it's easy to be freed from a genjutsu this technique is generally used only when fighting small groups. The genjutsu is capable of doing pretty much anything a high level genjutsu can do, giving the user pretty much full control over the effects of the genjutsu, while using the subconcious of the target to identify and use psychologically harmful events. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Greater Deterioration of Spores Rank: A Range: An area of 1km in diameter. Description: Similar to the normal deterioration of spores technique, this technique can cover entire battlefields in spores, transmitting the poison to anyone that inhales the spores, and also onto any allies that get harmed. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Ultimate Siphoning Jutsu Rank: S Range: Medium Description: After covering a field in moss, the user will then use their Control technique to encase an opponent in a special type of moss that hardens tremendously when it comes into contact with foreign chakra. It makes it able to withstand hard blows from taijutsu, weaponry and most jutsu. Encasing the opponent, the user then starts using the moss to siphon chakra, and transfer it to themselves to refill their reserves. What makes this S-rank is the speed at which this occurs - within ten minutes a target will be drained of nearly all chakra, at which point the technique can be disabled and the target 'freed' although with the little amount of chakra they would have left, they'd be as good as disabled for the duration of the fight. Jutsu name: Summoning: Neki the Newt Rank: C Range: N/A. Description: This summoning technique summons Neki the Newt. Given the qualities of a newt, this newt is capable of high speed water traversal as well as shooting water out of it's mouth. It's size is medium sized (it's aproximately 2m. high and 4m. long) and is big enough to carry two people in it's mouth at once if they are standing up. Weaknesses: Weaknesses to all internal fungi, such as the inhalation of the poisonous spores, or being touched by either the fungal parasite technique or chakra sap technique are external chakra. This is due to the fact that the moss and fungi adapt to the targets chakra, feeding off of it for sustainability. Any external chakra will offset it and make it deteriorate, as well as the effects with it. As such you can be pulled out of the genjutsu with external chakra (as is the case with regular genjutsu as well), you can stop the effects of spreading poisonous moss and fungus due to the Deterioration of Fungus technique, although the effects it's had on the target up until that point will remain (i.e you won't get rid of the rash, or the internal burning sensation it created). A weakness for external moss (the spores in the air, or the moss on the ground) is that it's highly flamable, however this is also a strength because it can be used against you. “I do not give to receive - I simply take.” If I die tonight Higōhō is a man of reasonable build, especially considering he practices a mostly non contact style of fighting. He's not precisely buff, more like lean, but that's just the way he likes it. His arms are toned as well as his chest and stomach which is more or less the extent of his build. He has a rounded jawline, with a round chin, protruding slightly from the rest of his faces' contours. The skin on his face is rather tight - it wouldn't be possible to pinch and pull his cheeks. He has a very thin nosebridge, and a slightly pointed nose. If one had to label it, his nose were likely to be seen as about average sized. Some of his facial features that stand out a lot are his pure white eyes which conflicts with his black hair and the black shirts he always wears. Although his outfit always changes (he's quite aware of fashion, and although he doesn't follow the latest trends, he likes to dress in ways that make him feel good) he has one consistent piece of clothing in his look - his necklace. On this necklace is the mon of the Hamajō Confederation. One could say he is very much a patriot. And the nice things one can say about him end about there. Personnel files.

Hyuga. 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Higōhō isn't a nice person whatsoever. He's very sure of himself, cocky to some, arrogant to others. It doesn't help that he's not weak, either. He believes very strongly in himself, and although he's smart enough to know that he's no Madara or Pain, he knows he's strong. Not only is that because of the Byakugan, it's also because of his own hard work he thinks, as well as some natural skill he feels like he has. His cockiness and arrogance has lead him to become quite careless when conversing with people - you can call him an asshole, a lighter term would be being rude. Truth is, he just doesn't really care. If a girl asks him what he thinks of her dress, and he doesn't like it, he'll tell her the dress is ugly. If her face is ugly too, well, he'll probably tell her that too. Though that doesn't mean he would dislike this person, he just thinks himself above most people, so he feels a right to say that. Ofcourse, if he likes something, he isn't afraid to say that either. But he doesn't like that much things. In battle.. do I even need to say this? He's arrogant. He's a bit overzealous at times, and doesn't know his own limits, willing to take on things that are above his own skill level. But so far that's not really ever gone wrong terribly. Aside that, you can call him dumb, or you can call him brave, but he doesn't really give up. You'll have to kill him, knock him out, or cut off his legs and arms if you want him to stop getting up after you pummel him. To him, it doesn't matter. Dying is more honorable than giving up. Besides his arrogant appearance and his lack of care for people around him - the catch is that really he does care. Being a bastard child and - boo-hoo-hoo - not receiving a lot of attention, love, nurturing and care, meant that to Higōhō he had to appear like he didn't care, to not give his father the satisfaction of being broken by his lack of care. This carried over to his adult years. And while he might not care for others because he likes them, he cares for their well being since they are in the same battalion. So, he'll be very sacrificial if he needs to be, willing to give his life up for something like a mission or another person. 【History】 Higōhō was born 18 years ago, to a Hyuga side branch member and a woman of lesser morals. Not exactly a brilliant future ahead of himself, especially since he was born with the Byakugan and thus it was demanded that he was handed over to the Hyuga's He was immediately given the cursed seal on his forehead. A stain of shame on his father's reputation, and already that of his own. Not like a newborn baby was aware of such concepts as reputations. But during his childhood his father made it painfully obvious that he wasn't exactly wanted - 'an accident' - and later one even went as far as saying that he was a stain on the family name, a bastard child who was never meant to be. He shrugged it off, really, because at that point it became apparent that his father was a deadbeat, only allowed to stay in the Hyuga home because his drinking problem and gambling addiction would bring shame to the family if word ever got out. Most of his childhood he was micro-managed by the nannies and tutored by the older members. More often than not he was treated as a child that wasn't supposed to be there, but they put up with him regardless. He showed progress in using the byakugan, especially the gentle fist, as if some sort of innate skill with that style was already within him. Whether that was true or not remained to be seen but fact of the matter was he did good in classes. As soon as he became 7, he was sent to the shinobi academy, because a bastard child had nothing better to become than a shinobi anyway. He did well. Well enough, anyway. Didn't exactly want to be there but hadn't much other choice. At that point in time he had already thought to himself that his only purpose in life was really to be a shinobi - and to fight for the confederation. The confederate soldiers were sort of his heroes, warriors fighting to protect their homes, true patriots, yadda yadda. He loved them. So, he figured, why not become one? The Confederation took over at that point and since then his class was kind of filled with masses of kids. That meant that, even though there were many prospect shinobi that were at a good level, there were far more useless kids who were only there because their parents want them to be. And that meant Higōhō would stand out a little. Welp, he passed, no big surprise. Got to be a genin running around doing stuff like saving kittens from trees and stuff. It didn't matter, he was still a confederate shinobi, which felt good. It didn't take him too long to become a chunin - the Confederation took an interest in him due to the Byakugan, and so his promotion came rather easy. And here we are! 【Family ties】 His family is mostly the Hyuga clan - his father, ofcourse, and then the nannies and teachers that he worked with. The other kids, he supposes, were 'okay'. He didn't really got bullied, so that's a plus. Katso Hyuga \| Father \| 47, his room in the Hyuga estate, professional deadbeat. 【Dreams and fears】 He dreams of, one day, becoming a jonin and leading a team, or perhaps even becoming a captain for the confederation and entering the political world of the Confederation. Besides that, he kinda wants to live a calm life after his service. What a simple soul. His fear is probably dying by Curse Seal - it'd be hard knowing you're gonna die without being able to fight back. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Higōhō is a very close combat oriented fighter, using the gentle fist. He is a proficient gentle fist user, capable of ousting most other nintaijutsu users with his own, and being a force to be reckoned with even within the Hyuga clan. That is not to say he'll beat anyone, however. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Byakugan Description: I can copy paste this URL here or you can just read it if you have no idea about byakugan (you barbar). His byakugan has a maximum range of 12 km, though that's only when he's not doing anything intensive (such as fighting). 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Eight Trigrams Mountain Crusher B rank techniques: Gentle Fist (style) Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm Eight Trigrams Sixty-four Palms Eight Trigrams Thirty-two Palms C rank techniques: Palm Bottom Tenketsu Needle 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Eight Trigrams Vacuum Combo Rank: C Range: Very close. Description: The jutsu is nothing more than a combination of a gentle fist move with the vacuum palm move. First the user spins around on their axle, using their left/right hand (depending on the way you spin) to open up the victims' body by slapping away any defensive hand placements, before slapping their palm forwards and using the vacuum palm technique. “Watashi wa Kami - I am still God.” Over the past 11 years Yamato hasn't changed much - appearance wise - in comparison with before the Hamajo confederation arrived. He's grown in size, reaching up to 1.83cm by now. He still dresses the same - tshirts, a-shirts or sweatshirts with some form of jacket over them. He usually wears chino's like he did before, but has traded his slip-in's for a pair of black combat boots. Yamato is defined as a handsome boy, having a chiseled jawline and somewhat skinny-looking cheeks. His nose bridge is quite thin, although not as if it were a stripe. Contrary to most with a thin nosebridge, his nostrils are also thin. Besides that he has no specific bone structure related characteristics. His eyes are a deep dark green, but not so dark that they can be mistaken for a grey-black colour. In accordance with genetics they are slightly slanted. The most defining features on his face are most likely his 3 large, reddish old scars running across his nose. Yamato's body is 'normal' in terms of muscle and fat, though it's improved compared to 11 years ago. He has some obviously defined muscled due to the nature of their schooling, as a normal shinobi is expected to keep up with his athletic properties. His arms are skinny, meaning that the muscles there are by nature more defined, but due to hard training, they are also very much so toned to perfection. Without flexing you could most likely see the muscles regardless. The same goes for his legs. His chest is not very broad nor does it extend towards the front due to musclemass. As such he has a rather 'normal' looking chest. Regardless he does have some definition there, although you probably wouldn't see it very often due to his clothes. Personnel files.

Although as every other clan they have to grow with the times, and as such many customs have become merely symbolical and don't actually hold much significance. These customs are almost always on par with that of the other clans, since the clan is not much different from the others. That said, they have since their waning influence, dabbled more into even darker trades, and many of the Minamoru which were not shinobi, have become actively involved in the illegal arms trade, drugs trade, prostitution and other illegal activities. 【Special Traits】 Males are known to be born with black hair specifically, with the females usually being born with either black hair, or white hair. Chances seem to be 50/50 for either of the colour. Their eyes are green, differing only in coloration between dark and light green. The Minamoru do not have any hiden or kekkei genkai - in fact, they despise kekkei genkai and see it as a curse, where as hiden are seen as a pest, but 'acceptable.' 【Influences】 The Minamoru influence on Konohagakure was very, very big. Some of it was subtle, such as underground influences due to the Yakuza affiliations they have, or rather.. the fact that they lead one of the three largest Yakuza groups in Konohagakure, and dealt in things like Senju DNA, Sharingan black trade (rare) or even the drug trade. Their affiliations in this field are obvious to those involved, but to the outside world, it seems completely preposterous that the Minamoru, a powerful and high 'n mighty clan is involved in this. Besides that they were a huge economical influence 11 years ago, because they owned more or less 60% of all of Konoha's economical centre with Minamoru Enterprises. The remaining 40% is, thankfully for Konoha, not theirs since the other Yakuza groups were trying hard to wrangle control away from them. The fact that they own most of the economical centre should probably say enough about their economical influence but this is not to say that all this money flows directly into the pockets of the Minamoru clan - bribes, wages, etcetera all is paid from these funds. Finally the political aspect of the clan, which was not as big as it's underground or economical influence. Never the less it's still present - the fact that the Minamoru are a shinobi clan in essence (though, that is debateable very much so) gave them a small influence, and their alliances with other clans, as well as their feuds with some of the others, are a reason that they were politically well regarded, though not as high as the Hyuga or the Uchiha, or even the Uzumaki's although those have recently been more forthcoming towards the Minamoru. Ever since the death of Reijo at the hands of Fujitora Choko, the clan has fallen, and fallen deep. The only Minamoru of relative high stands are the shinobi, and even those have been falling ever so slightly. The only two remaining shinobi with a grain of honor left are Reijo's children - Rei Minamoru, a 25 year old medical kunoichi, and Yamato Minamoru himself, the heir to the clan after his uncle passes away. Never the less the clan has no estates left - all financial enterprises, shops, financial buildings were given away by Fujitora Choko to rival companies to ensure that the Minamoru held Yakuza group received no financing. Their political power waned as Reijo was the politician of the clan - the other Minamoru were regarded as too hotheaded and his uncle was a drunk, so he barely did anything with the clan. The Minamoru are barely a remnant of themselves, if they can even be called that. 【Relations】 Naito - the Naito clan is one of the clans that the Minamoru have been feuding with for the longest time. The feud started about 200 years ago, when both the Minamoru and the Naito were relatively new to Konoha. Ever since it's been dubbed the Feud of the Tiger and the Dogs. The long standing feud hasn't subsided just yet as members of this clan frequently clash - be it with words, swords, or politics. No longer applicable. The Naito clan is wiped out. 【History】 The Minamoru clan was founded quite recently compared to the other clans such as the Uchiha or the Hyuga. They were not part of the original founding clans, and migrated later as a result of economical changes. They weren't originally shinobi but quickly managed to adapt into a Shinobi clan effortlessly. They were comprised of highly driven individuals that wished to become the greatest at, more or less, whatever they attempted. It didn't always succeed, actually, more often than not, but you only need to give one glance to the current status of the clan to see how far they kicked it in those 200 years, compared to the Uchiha. Never the less they don't quite fit into Konoha - they are not so much underhanded, and wouldn't do anything to directly harm Konoha, but they are very self centered and do anything they do for the clan or themselves, not for Konoha. Konoha is simply a means to an end for them. Never the less a feeling of pride and honour is also common place in the clan so Konoha needn't worry about the Minamoru betraying them. They do what they do for themselves, or atleast so they say, but deep down most of the Minamoru are quite self sacrificial, especially the shinobi. Those that aren't in the shinobi trade are often a whole different breed of people, mostly simply normal people and civilians. In short, that means they have a tough skin, cussing, feuding, and appear somewhat rude and cold. Underneath that however are people that deeply respect tradition, hierarchy and self sacrifice. They might not show it but it's definetely there. Moving on, they also don't fit Konoha because they are very outspoken against kekkei genkai - and sadly for Konoha (or the Minamoru's, depending on who you ask) there are plenty of clans with kekkei genkai's. This has been reason for them to be a bit of an outcast-clan compared to others, distancing themselves from main Konoha, living outside the village. Up until the mid-years, between Sarada and Boruto's births, and current situation, they were insignificant, standard fodder clans. However it was then that they broke through with the arrival of the ronin, that fueled the underground Yakuza operations that some of the Minamoru were involved in. Due to this they suddenly raised in power unexplainedly, gaining more funds to further their political influence and economical presence. It didn't take long before Reijo took over 40-so years later, and furthered that all even more, expanding their influences rather rapidly. 11 years later, in the Hamajō Confederation, there's not much left of the Minamoru clan. All estates are gone, only the housing area remaining. Everything is, more or less, gone. Only Fujitora Choko and his 11th corps are to be blamed - that much any shinobi in the Minamoru clan will tell you. 【Rank】 Jonin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Yamato used to be seen as a thug or a criminal in the making. Not far from the truth given his father was the largest criminal in the entire village - something Yamato has no particular feelings towards since to him it was a way of life since his birth. However Yamato was never a criminal - he might've done questionable things during his services to the Hamajō Confederation but never anything that he'd consider criminal activity. Something else that characterizes him is his aggressive tendencies, as he is very very quick to anger and is, very much so, an asshole to everyone he meets. Those that know him for longer, such as Akio Tendou or Aoi Don Maquia will testify to this. Yamato is a bright young man, widely regarded in Konohagakure as a prodigy of attack. This is seen in his psyche as well, as the boy has shown aggressive and violent tendencies from time. Some would call it a short fuse.. and others call it being a thug in the making. Regardless of which is true, the boy also has shown impeccable resilience, steadfastness and a healthy dose of respect for tradition. Rumor within the Minamoru clan has said this is due to the amount of training that got instilled into him at an early age, and that he instills into himself daily even still. The boy also hates kekkei genkai for one reason or another, a sentiment shared by the entire clan, and some radicals even go so far as to wish those with a kekkei genkai dead. Yamato is a good student, and gets very good grades compared to those in the same years as him. He has shown a talent for, how could it be anything else, taijutsu and nintaijutsu, focusing especially on the offensive. This goes well with his aggressive nature and he is known to be able to take down opponents in a matter of seconds, although his defense is less than average. Despite attempts to convince him, his resilience has proven that fruitless. Then again, the boy has always been a prodigy and nobody has been able to prove that the boy might need a defense as well. This has affected his personality in a more or less negative way, although that is open to interpretation. The boy is somewhat- no, very arrogant, and while he wouldn't boast about his skills, he is fully aware of his status as a prodigy. This has given him the idea that he is above everyone else, and he has remained to keep this idea as he's been unhindered by anyone who could prove him wrong. Watashi wa Kami - in his eyes, he is God. 【History】 Pre Hamajō Confederation Yamato's childhood years were essentially a calmth before the storm. He spent his first four years as most children his age did - calmly in the arms of his mother, and playing outside. Then at the age of four, his father decided that it was time for him to become ready. Determined to make the clan greater than it already was, he hired a teacher who was to teach Yamato the basics about being a shinobi. No, he didn't learn any techniques, but learnt the mental side of shinobi's, namely rules, history and things you needed to know. This affected his school career indirectly as he had more background knowledge than most when he entered base school. During his time at base school he still had interest in making friends and preferred to learn techniques, practice taijutsu or throwing and fighting with kunai and shuriken. He often sparred with others, showing of his tenacious and aggressive nature in these matches. He often ended up fighting kids that were bigger and older, beginning to make a name for himself. He became a genin at the age of 12 like most others and went on to attend the high school to become a chunin. In that aspect, while he was a prodigy, he was like everyone else. During high school years he maintained a very steady level of training, to maintain his position within the clan which had grown by now. He became, more or less, the pride of his clan and family, and went unrivaled within the clan. In highschool he maintained a same degree of authority, although there were those that had problems with it, he found that he barely had any problems maintaining his position as the people that objected were often not even close to his level of mastery. Although this makes him sound like a hard ass, all he wanted was for people to more or less leave him alone. The only people he could really get along with was his own family. And even that was strenuous at times. Later, he became semi friends with Aoi, who had shown Yamato to be more capable than she let onto. Never the less they weren't ever close to friends - more so, being colleagues that enjoyed working together with each other more than if they had to work with others, the exception to that being Akio, who was Aoi's preferred companion for a long time. As for the hatred of people with kekkei genkai, it stems from the preconceived notion that people with kekkei genkai seem to think themselves special, untouchable or even godlike, and when you pair that with historical events focusing around kekkei genkai and being mostly negative (Infinite Tsukuyomi, Hyuga clan being a prime target to other villages), it results in a hatred that is widespread among this clan, which has seen it's fair share of bad luck to do with kekkei genkai during the centuries. Besides that Yamato is of the opinion that he could beat a kekkei genkai easily through strength and a superior will to work for something. Arrival of Hamajō Confederation During the arrival of the Hamajō Confederation Yamato played a part in the taking of the city. While he was defending the city at first, he switched sides halfway through after realizing that the Hamajō Confederation wasn't all that bad - in fact, it was better than Ayame and Fujitora. It didn't help that Fujitora was responsible for the death of his father - and in turn, the near death of his family. The Hamajō Confederation would have a larger chance to make his family important again. He arrived on scene near the 11th corps headquarters, which was where Fujitora was holed up. Finding himself trailing mostly behind dead bodies, he soon find the source of this - Yakoul. The cat-like person had slaughtered most of the 11th corps, including Saburo and Daiki, two people that Yamato had hoped to kill for himself. Above all, it had killed Fujitora - which was a crime in the eyes of Yamato, blinded by honour. Knowing better than to take revenge by attacking Yakoul, he simply boded his time. He got promoted within the Hamajō Confederation and is now a captain, or otherwise known as Jonin, largely in service at the Amegakure capital. However, recently he's received orders to go to the border area to investigate a compound, and meet with commander Yakoul, who'll be making further use of his services. 【Family ties】 Yamatos family was rather normal, if you keep in mind that he grew up with a family that was not only his father and mother but also included close relatives of those people. Given that his father is the clan head, he has always felt like the entire clan was his family, and not just his father and mother. As such he always felt a great drive to do well, for the honor of the clan. Furthermore the birth of his younger sister when he was 2 added to his drive as he was under the pretense that he'd get to, or even have to, teach her. Reijo Minamoru \| Father \| 43 at time of passing, Konohagakure, used to be often away on bussiness, was a politician and economist, it's said he has a pair of mistresses in any city. Mika Minamoru \| Mother \| 47, Konohagakure, restaurant owner and mother, she is a hard worker who never complains. Atleast she likes to think that she doesn't. Rei Minamoru \| Sister \| 25, Konohagakure, medical shinobi. Popular girl, but unlike Yamato she finds practicing boring and she'd rather spend her time away from home with friends. 【Dreams and fears】 Yamato secretly dreams of a world where there are no kekkei genkai as this would, in his eyes, greatly reduce conflict. Furthermore he dreams of making the Minamoru clan even greater than his father did, to outdo him in something that his father was already very good at. As for fears, Yamato fears causing death and dishonor to the clan, which goes without saying. Besides that he also fears losing respect from the clan and, to a lesser degree, to other shinobi of the Hamajō Confederation. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Yamato's fighting style revolves entirely around the attack, offensiveness and taking down an opponent with hard hitting blows. Defense is almost nonexistant in his style, as he barely needs it. He is extremely resilient, as mentioned before, and as such he can take a lot of hits of any kind without showing signs of pain. Besides that, he is also someone who never, ever gives up. As such he will keep getting up even if he knows he cannot win - an admirable trait to some and a sign of stupidity to others. Another aspect of his style is courage, in the form of never being frightened. He is going to be the first to jump into battle and he's going to do so with an aggression bound to shake hearts and silence voices. 【Ninja techniques】 B rank techniques: Katon: Great Fire Destruction C rank techniques: Katon: Great Fireball Technique 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Minamoru-shi: Nokori Onaji (Minamoru Clan: Remain the Same, 残り同じ) Rank: S Range: N/A Description: This technique is, more or less, what constitutes Minamoru's hiden. It was created by Yamato due to his reckless nature and desire to enter the fray as the first one in - which was a negative thing before. Now, that turns into a good thing. The technique utilizes a very very small amount of chakra, which gathes in a 'pool' of chakra within the user. In general, there's never been a time where the chakra gets used up so quickly in usage of the technique that it completely empties out. This passive ability consumes chakra at a very slow rate constantly, even when not in combat. Luckily Yamato's chakra pool is large enough to sustain it. This ability works through getting hurt - as strange as it may sounds - converting damage done to the user and turning it into raw power. In effect, that means that 'more damage input = more damage output' in simple terms. Muscles are stimulated by the damage, as well as the psychological will to fight on. This allows Yamato to press on past his normal limits - which were already extraordinarily high - and keep fighting even with broken bones, torn muscles or large gaping wounds. The drawbacks to this are, ofcourse, that he's going to be less accurate and skillfull, but more powerful. In short attacks will be more powerful but he'll have a harder time hitting, ofcourse that depends largely on the type of wounds too. That's not to say that he heals them instantly - if he receives a mortal wound, he'll die pretty much if he doesn't receive treatment regardless of the jutsu. But receiving wounds does make him stronger, both in how he feels and how he actually is. It doesn't make him less mortal - but he sees him self as a God. Would he believe he's still mortal? Jutsu name: Minamoru-shi: Chakurabāsuto (Minamoru Clan: Chakra Burst, チャクラバースト) Rank: A Range: 5m-10m Description: Releasing one fourth of the chakra stored in his pool for the Nokori Onaji technique, he releases a pure burst of chakra out of his entire body, causing a shockwave of chakra. This shockwave can extend between 5m and 10m, dependant on how large his pool currently is. The shockwave is powerful enough to send shinobi that don't hold themselves down on the ground flying, sending lightweights (80<kg.) flying atleast 20 meters at high speed, and sending heavyweights (80>kg.) stumbling out of the shockwave area. Objects are sent flying away too, such as kunai, leaves and other random items in the area. The jutsu isn't incredibly damaging on it's own, dependant on objects in the area. For instance, in an empty dirt field, there'll be no objects to send flying, and no objects for the enemy to crash into. So, damage will be reduced to perhaps some light scraping from scraping on the ground. In a forest, or a densely built in city, the damage will be more extensive, given that the enemy might fly into trees, rocks, buildings, roadsigns, etcetera. Jutsu name: Katon: Great Fire Fists Rank: A Range: Close Description: The technique begins by creating a short series of seals ended by a Tiger seal - although since this is Yamato's signature move, he has perfected it to the point where he doesn't need to form the seals any longer. After this the user flicks his wrists and they are set ablaze. Not yet taking a shape the user must focus the chakra around this area for a short period, in the case of Yamato a second or two. After this is done the fire becomes hotter, akin to a bunsenburner in heat, and the fire will take the color blue as a result. The resulting heat is enough to roast skin even if it's not touching the fire, and enough to severely burn anyone that gets in direct contact with the flames, enough to cause third degree (yes, that hot) burns when you get directly hit by a punch of this technique. Anyone standing nearby Yamato will feel the heat emenating off of the boy, whether they are friend or foe, before he leaps into the battle. The fire takes the shape of a lions head, akin to the two guarding lions that stand outside most wealthy places or places of public interest. Jutsu name: Katon: Great Fire Extraction Rank: A Range: Close Description: Yaoku's Revenge sets the user ablaze for a short time, appearing to others as an explosion. In reality it works as a distraction, while the user cocks his hand back which is then lit ablaze. The single hand will be heated up so much, that it overpowers even the Fists of a Tiger technique, heating up to the extent where it will be able to melt both skin, muscle and bone. The intensity of the technique requires so much chakra that it is pretty much useable only thrice. After the required heat is reached, a matter of seconds for Yamato, the user lunges forwards through the explosion he caused himself and launched his fist into the enemy, melting skin first, then fat and muscle, and finally bone before the hand cools down. If used effectively, and the hit connects, it will be a tremendous attack able to incapacitate or kill most enemies. But it requires accuracy, something that is often lacking when an enemy is moving around, and also because the explosion caused by Yamato would obscure his vision. Besides that, the attack leaves him rather exhausted, so that he'd have to retreat from the fight, something that Yamato could obviously never do. As such it's likely for him to overexert himself after using this technique. Jutsu name: Katon: Great Fire Bind Rank: B Range: 10 meter in front of Yamato Description: To be used in conjuction with the Great Fire Extraction technique, but useable on it's own too. This technique is not neccesarily a fighting technique, the sole technique in Yamato's arsenal that isn't focussed 100% on the offense. However it is used as a runner up to a very offensive move. After forming a boar and tiger seal, the user holds the tiger seal while a set of 2 fiery hands emerge from his back, quickly coming out at a rapid speed. These hands will head for the enemy almost instinctively, and grab the enemy by the arm. Once grabbed it will be virtually impossible to get out lest you have a teammate that is able to free you or you work out a genius way to break free. Because the hands are made of flames you will receive slight burning although the burns will not be harmful whatsoever, akin to a D rank fire jutsu if not less harmful. The true fear you should have.. is the follow up jutsu. There is a slight reaction time between being grabbed and the start of the technique, around 1.5 seconds, but dodging will only end up causing the hands to chase you for a longer time. The only true escape is to get out of the 10 meter mark, but that will be hard with just 1.5 second to escape. It's possible for ninja's with above average jutsu, however. Another weakness, aside from it's length, is it's weakness to both water and earth defensive jutsu, such as the earthen walls or the water techniques that send out half an ocean. Using wind or fire against these hands is nearly useless, matter of fact it's counter productive because adding more fire to the arms will have no effect, while using wind based jutsu on them will fuel the flames, speeding them up even more. Electrical jutsu are useless, too, because electricity will go through the hands. An extraordinarily fast shinobi (read: faster than Yamato) will be able to dodge the hands initially and then attack quickly after if he times it right, because attacking Yamato and forcing him to release the tiger seal will stop the jutsu. However, if Yamato moves but still holds the seal, the jutsu will continue. The time it takes to form the hands and attempt to grab the opponent is all within 1 post, but the actual act of grabbing depends on it being dodged/ran away from, and as such can only happen in the 2nd post. Jutsu name: Fuuton: Greater Fire Fists Rank: C Range: N/A. Description: Technically not a technique on it's own, but still classified as one, the user will not have to form any seals, instead he simply has to augment fuuton chakra in his fists and release it into his fists of the Fire Fist jutsu. Due to Fuuton acting as 'fuel' (fuel for fire is oxygen, a source and burnable material) the fire will begin to burn even hotter, turning the fire blue and causing the area it's used in to appear 'darker' or closer to nightfall. This is due to the bright source of light making the environments appear darker than they really are simply because of the contrast or difference in lightsources. Even on a blue sky, clear lit day it will appear as if it were 00:00 midnight. The fists of the Fire-tiger will burn so hot, the radius at which the heat can be felt greatly expands and even those standing close to Yamato during the usage of this will feel uncomfortably warm, and if they stay near long enough, might begin getting a serious sunburn. The main effect also increases, still holding onto the 3rd degree burns upon connecting a hit, but adding in the additional fuuton element of a highly increased knockback and a cutting effect, too. You will go flying most definetely when you get hit by this augmented technique, sending lighter opponents up to 100m away and heavy, fat opponents at a weight of 200kg about 30 meters. Furthermore, there will be slight cuts, as if you got hit by 20 kunai at once. Ofcourse, that's all superficial wounds - nothing life threatening, but definetely painful. Like most nintaijutsu, this is extemely destructive, but exerting at the same time. There is no real weakness to this technique, as it's not really a technique to begin with but more so an augmentation or reinforcement of another. As such, weaknesses of the Fists of the Tiger still exist, such as suiton jutsu or defensive doton jutsu. Even so, the usage of this extra fuuton jutsu will allow the user to simply brute-force his way past many of these jutsu anyway, most notably doton. Suiton will always be a problem for fire users and this technique is no exception. Jutsu name: Katon: Great Fire Bomb Rank: B Range: 7.5m Description: This technique is a secret trump card held in high regard by the Minamoru clan. Not many outside of the clan know of it, because it's a rather rough technique on both the victim and the user. The users can begin this technique by forming the Tiger seal, after which it cannot be stopped anymore. The user envelops themself in flames, starting out akin to any other fire technique and indistinguishable at this time, looking rather harmless. However this all leads to an explosion. An explosion of the user itself into fiery death. In essence it's a fiery suicide technique that will blow up the user plus anything within 3.5m of the technique, and will damage anything up to 7.5m around the technique. The bad side? If you use this technique you die. Jutsu name: Minamoru-shi: Jisatsu-ryō (Minamoru Clan: Suicide Charge, 自殺料) Rank: B Range: 50m. Description: Utilizing his Futoon element, the user 'boosts' his speed quickly by displacing air in front of him towards his back, to travel quicker similar to how an airplane gains lift. However, this technique isn't fast enough to create lift and neither is Yamato shaped in order to create lift.. However, this will give him speed. Using this speed the use pummels himself into the enemy ranks, most likely a larger group of enemies. The head on charge manifests itself into simply crashing into the enemies with limbs extended, punching left and right to get as many hits in as possible. Defense is NOT a part of Yamato's vocabulary. This can be easily protected against by, say, creating an obstacle like a doton-sphere to protect yourself/you friends (if you're friendly like that.) 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Backpack. Weapon, tool or object type: It's.. a backpack. Possibly filled with explosive tags. Description: It's a fucking explosive backpack bomb. Bag-o-bombs. EASY.
51,165	1,381	72	1,918	8,262	Tatsuya Kajiya-Terumi Bottom of the Stairs of the Central Compound, Hamajo Confederate "Sorry to beat you to the punch then," Tatsuya said with a chuckle, only for him to raise a slight eyebrow at her next words. Wait, is she flirting with me?!?! No, no, what am I thinking, reading way too much into it. She's just joking ri- His thoughts were cut off by an on rush of images and emotion, hitting him with as much force as the quake that shook the ground. When Setsuko collided with him, she'd feel that his heart was racing, and as she apologized, he merely turned around just as Higoho appeared. He took all of tehe man's venom and hate with a silent contenance. When hee finally took a pause, Tatsuya took a breath before lowering himsekf in a bow to the Hyuuga, and a very low one at that, staying there as he spoke. "I apologize for the words spoken by my clone. Believe it or not, those words were not my own, though I shall take responsibikity for them none the less, as it was my incompetence that led them too be said. As is the code of the Kajiya clan, I'll shall recieve whatever punishment you seek to bestow upon me, even if . . .even if . . ." Tatsuya's body began to shake as fear coursed through his sysyem. He wanted to turn tail and run or take the time to explain the situation, but the first would be cowardice and the second would be seen as nothing but excuses. He made a mistake by not dispersing the clone, and it had done Higoho wrong. And the Hyuuga had a right to take his pound of flesh until he felt satisfied. Taking another deep breath, he rose up from his bow and heldhis arms out to his sides, opening himself to attack. His eyes were still filled with fear, but he held the honor of his family above himself in this instance. ". . . Even if it means my death, I shall not retaliate. Before you do, however, I would like to clarify that I have nothing but respect for your clan and that the clones words are not a reflection of my thoughts. So, whenever you're ready." Tatsuya's heart was racing, his forehead was drenched as he felt the very real sense that he was about to die without accomplishing any of his goals or dreams. If, by some miracle, I survive this I'm going to try and figureout why the hell I've been cursed with such a beligerent sociopath to appear as my clone. He didn't look at anyone else, keeping his gaze locked with the rage filled Byakyugan without even blinking. He wanted to show the man how dead serious he was right now. His eyes weren't asking him for mercy or forgiveness, just that he make it quick if he was going to do it at all.	Name: Katon: Phoenix Egg Bomb(Subject to change) Rank: A Range: Mid Description: After making the needed hand seals, Akio conjures up a concentrated inferno of blazing heat, focusing it over her palm. It'll take a post for this jutsu to charge up, but when it does the flames will take on a egg-like shape as Akio thrusts her hand out to launch it at her foes. Upon impact with an object, the egg will explode with a huge amount of force and intense white hot heat. The radius of the explosion would be somewhere between 5-10m, though the intense heat can be felt from much farther away, burning skin, drying up moisture in the air, and causing fatigue through dehydration if an enemy is caught near the edge of the blast. The explosion itself takes the form of a phoenix rising high into the sky. The flames that the explosion created will stay for about 2 posts, however, the heat lessening by a great deal until it finally fizzes out. At this point, Aoi can use this jutsu with little strain, upping her usage to about 6 times before it starts to take it's toll. Seiteki Suji no Jutsu (Static Strings Technique) Rank:D Description: This skill allows the user to create strings of electricity that can either act physically as strings, or as a medium that can send small shocks to an opponent. One of this technique's most useful features is its ability to allow the user to detect outsiders. When the strings are placed around an area, they are often fairly difficult to see, and unnoticed by the quick eye. But when the string is used to detect outsiders, they can adapt a quality that is string-like and electrical at the same time. This quality makes the static strings into a string of electricity, but with such a weak current that it is rarely noticed by Shinobi who accidentally walk through the strings. However, when this happens, the user at once will feel a small shock in their fingers, or where ever else they are keeping the strings intact. But unless the opponent felt the weak current as they walked through the strings, the opponent will usually never know the strings were there. But beyond its ability to detect outsiders, this skill can be used as a normal string when it is needed but none is around, or it can be used to create small shocks to other people. However, the shocks are only a little bit stronger than static electricity, and usually do no damage at all. Jutsu Name: Raiton: Thunder Bow Rank B Range Mid to Long Can be fired at a target up to a 100m away Description: Akio forms a bow out of lightning chakra, from which she can draw back and fire bolts of electricity from, the amount of power dealt depending on how long she holds it for. A quick draw only does a low-medium amount of damage and has no lingering effects. A Charged shot, which takes about 1 post to form up, does a fair deal more damage and will leave the target temporarily stunned if direct contact is made. The charged shot can also be split into four homing shots, which'll lock onto the opponents chakra signature. These only do slightly more damage than a quick shot on their own, but if all three hit the same target, then the damage can be even greater than a charged shot and can explode out to damage foes within a meter of the target. Akio can now fire a detonation shot with a charged up bolt, which is less powerful overall, but can paralyze a whole group of individual for a few moments. She can also create a piercing shot, which has more focused electrical energy for more power and damage, but has reduced ranged as well, only being able to go about half as far as a normal charged shot. The piercing shot can pierce through most standards armors and defensive jutsu of equal rank or lower, not including elemental weakness into play, in which it can probably partially get through lower A-rank Earth Style Jutsu and be halted by upper C rank Wind Style jutsu. Static strings can be attached to the quick fire shots, so that if they hit, the user can hold the foe in place by running a constant stream of electricity through it, locking her muscles in place. If this is done, neither Akio nor the target can move so it's not a good move for one on one, but good for lining up holding an enemy in place for another teammate to take down. Edit: Through training, Akio has managed to work down the weakness of her static strings down so that only one of her limbs is paralyzed and not her whole body, meaning that she won't be able to form jutsu while holding a foe down, but she can still move, dodge attacks, and counterattack reasonable well, though she still has to be able to keep some focus on the connection while moving, or else it'll break, thus she won't be able to move as fast as she normally could. Katon: Myaku Hitofuki no Jutsu (Fire Release: Pulse Blast Technique) Rank: B Range: Close to Mid Description: An extremely useful jutsu, this one has the effect of flushing out or separating multiple opponents. Hurling a fireball about the size of a basketball, it is meant to be dodged in order to be effective. For at center of this fireball is a gaseous core which, when the spherical attack finally makes contact with something, will explode and this gas will expand rapidly in a loud bang. The bang is simply a precursor though, as instantly afterwards a sharp concussive force will issue out all around the center of the blast. Though the explosion of the attack itself is not very strong, the force it sends out is enough to knock anyone who is within a certain radius of it flying. Katon: Kudakasei no Jutsu (Fire Release: Shatter Force Technique) Rank: A Range: Close Range technique, with the base diameter of the blast radius being around 5 meters Description: Built upon the principles of Katon: Myaku Hitofuki no Jutsu, this technique instead acts as a much more powerful, centralized version. Gathering heat in between both hands the user focuses it until it cannot be condensed further. Manifested as a sphere of raw, glowing energy it is at first held at bay as if only for show. Then, given any cue, the user slams the sphere into the ground, causing it to explode with the power of pure heat behind it. The user is unaffected by this burst of power, but anyone within the radius of the blast suffers some unsettling consequences alongside the devastating concussive force it sends forth. This technique, by sheer strength alone, has even been known to crack boulders. Separate effects of the jutsu are that the intense heat dehydrates any opponents caught within the radius of the blast, drawing them closer to fatigue, blurring their vision and causing mild headaches all the while. Minor, first-degree burns may also result from this technique. Jutsu Name: Raiton: Raikou Hitofuki no Jutsu (Lightning Release: Lightning Blast Technique) Rank: C Range: Close to Mid Description: This jutsu allows the user to fire off a continuous blast of electrical energy at an opponent, causing only minor burns but a great deal of pain as it courses through the foes system. Jutsu Name: Raiton: Cloak of the Thundering Phoenix Rank: S Range: Self Description: A Variant of the Lightning Armor Jutsu, this jutsu cloaks the Akio in an intense aura of electricity that takes the form of phoenix around them. While under the influence of this jutsu, Akio's speed, reaction time, and physical attack power gains a substantial increase, though not to the level that is seen by users of the original technique, as well as boosting the power of her Raiton jutsu, thus negating the charge up of her more power Thunder bow attacks. She can also up her mobility on the battlefield by gliding and hovering in the air for short periods of times using the wings this jutsu gives her, though she has yet to achieve true flight using this technique. Finally, the wings can also be formed into a defensive wall at a moments notice, incase she's targeted by an attack she can't dodge, but they can only block a single attack of up to A-rank in power, and Wind Style jutsu of Mid A-rank and higher will always be able to partially get through these defenses. Once the attack has been blocked, the wings will disperse and Akio will spend the remainder of the jutsu's duration moving at a reduced speed compared to before, though still noticeably faster than her base speed, as well as no longer being able to hover or glide due to the loss of her wings. This jutsu duration is for about 6 posts, though it can be lengthened to up to 9 by feeding more chakra into it, though this worsens the drawback once the jutsu ends. After the base duration runs out, her entire body will become numb and cause her speed and reaction time to drop as a result. This lasts for about three posts, but if she lengthened it, it can lengthen to about 6 posts and only allows her to move at a third of her base speed. If she tries to go over that limit, though possible, it will result in her body becoming completely paralyzed, as well as the obvious threat of chakra exhaustion. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon: Shuriken Description: A basic tool every ninja should have, it can be lethal if it hits a vital spot, but they are also good in creating some space for the fighter. Tool: Chakra Pill Description: Weapon: Kunai Description: A basic tool every ninja should have, it's the only weapon Akio has when it comes to CQC fighting. Weapon: Tanto Description: A short, straight, single edged dagger that has no point and is used primarily for slashing attacks. Weapon: Ninja Wire Description: A strong metal wire that can be used in various ways. Weapon: Senbon Description: A precision tool that, despite it's low lethality, can be very effective in slowing down and paralyzing an opponent if they are placed in the right place. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 After the war and her break-up with Aoi, Akio has become a very emotionally withdrawn individual, focusing only on either training or her duties as a shinobi, and spending very little time socializing with others anymore. While she still has the sarcastic remark or joke ready whenever it's needed, she no longer talks with people in depth. If they try to get to know her personally, she'll either redirect the conversation away from herself or just shut down, not speaking another word until the person gets the message and leaves her alone. Along with this, Akio has developed a bit of a drinking habit, not a terrible one, but noticeable. She always tends to have one bottle of some form of liquor on her when not on a mission, and she can be a bit cranky at times on missions due to the fact that she can't drink while on the job, a self-imposed rule so that her habit never interferes with her work. On really bad days, however, one could find Akio totally hammered in her home, in which she becomes a depressive, self-loathing mess that is constantly asking people to comfort her and listen to her problems, as well as provide . . . other forms of relief. 【History】 Before the massacre, her life wasn't really that great as her father saw her as nothing as a mistake and an embarrassment for two reasons. The first is that she was a bastard child, a mark of shame on his honor as the Tendou family patriarch, though it was that same honor that duty bound him to take the child in, as her mother had died during childbirth. The second reason was that she was never good enough, and while she wasn't the most skilled of individuals, she was still rather good, some would say better than most. But it was never enough for Akira Tendou, he demanded perfection, and severely punished those who did not meet his requirements. And as she hardly ever did, she was often met with scorn from her father, who never once acknowledged her as his daughter. And while that should've devastated her, she didn't find herself minding too much. She never once considered Akira Tendou as her father in the sense that he was a man to come to with her woes, worries, and needs, as that regard went to her older brother, Kokatsu. Ever since she came into their home, Kokatsu was extremely protective of her, getting into several fights with Akira and most of them ending in some sort of violence. Since she was young, she never got to see Kokatsu darker side, and she believes that he wanted to keep it that way as he made extreme efforts to avoid telling her about his job in any specific detail. He also expressed some sorrow when it became apparent that she was going to be joining the Shinobi forces, though never actively spoke out against it, unlike her father who was certain that she'd never pass and if she did, never make it pass a lowly genin. If things had continued as normal, then he may have been right, for even she had begun to doubt her self and her reasons for becoming a ninja, of whether she was ready for the life they lived. But instead, soon after her seventh birthday, all hell broke loose. A ceremony was held, as Akira had decided to pass on his position as Clan Patriarch to his son, claiming he had never been prouder for him. Kokatsu took the Tendou blade(an artifact past down from Patriarch to Patriarch since before the elemental nations were even concieved) and, with a smile as bright as the sun, slew his father where he stood, dropping the weapon to perform a quick string of handsigns before slamming his fingers into the fresh corpse. An eerie red light rose from the ground around him, and it was until many months after the event that she would hear that at the time, seals popped up all throughout the city. And so it was that Kokatsu opened a portal between this world and a world of darkness to unleash death upon all who lived within it. Only a single order was given, spare the children of the Tendou clan, they had done no wrong. And so it was that behind a veil of darkness, hundreds if not thousands died horrid, painful deaths, all the while a menacing laugh would echo through out it all. When the barrier fell and the demons fled, Kokatsu held out his hand for Akio to grab, only for her to flinch away, looking at her blood trenched sibling in horror. Akio couldn't remember a time where her brother had looked more hurt then at that time, and yet she also couldn't remember a time where he seemed more relieved. He offered no pressure or force, just left without a word, and leaving her alone in a nightmare of blood, death, and sorrow. After the event, the Tendou children were taken in and eventually handed over to adoptive parents to raise them. Of those children, four would go insane from the trauma of what they witnessed as they grew up, one even committing suicide after slaughtering his adoptive parents. Tendou children where treated with a mix of pity, fear, and for Akio, hatred. Given how closely related she was to Kokatsu, there were people, kids especially, who would take out their grief of lost loved ones out on her. This made it hard for her to trust and approach people, and also made it so she hated her features that so easily gave her away. But in the midst of these hardships, an ember began to burn bright with newly discovered passion. She developed a burning drive to train herself, to become as strong as possible. She was able to pass the academy with only minor difficulties, and did her best in her genin missions no matter what the they were. However, in the early years of her life, this passion nearly consumed her, as she withdrew from everyone, constantly running herself into the ground, and then some, for a reason that she wasn't even sure of. In actuality, she felt partially to blame for what happened to Kokatsu, thinking in her subconscious mind that if she had somehow been there for him more, it could've been avoided. As life went on, however, she found herself to be taken unde the wing of Tsukiko Umene. The older jonin would drop by from time to time to check up on her, and if she felt it necessary, beat her in to shape. While at first Akio resented the woman, she eventually began to grow more attached to her as time went on, to the point where she thinks of the wild woman as the big sister she never had. Due to Tsukiko's influence, Akio began to open up to other people a little more and try to overcome her weaknesses. Also because of Tsukiko, the young Tendou can tend to have a rather vivid and imaginative vocabulary when sufficiently angered or upset, as well as having a bit of a nasty temper. As of now, she's living in a rented apartment in downtown, having moved away from her foster parents the moment she became a genin, never to speak to them again. The war was a defining moment in Akio's life . . . and not for the better. while she wasn't a stranger to loss or violence, she had never felt in the scale that she had in the war. Many good friends died in the fighting, only to die in vain as the Confederation came to rule everything. However, instead of being filled with anger and indignation, she just felt broken and afraid. As she recovered, she began to withdraw from the world, drinking more often, and geting into fights with her girlfriend Aoi, until it finally culminated in Akio breaking it off in a fit of drunken passion. She immediately regretted it afterwards, but instead of going after her and begging forgiveness, she simply let the relationship die. Despite still having strong feelings for Aoi, she just didn't want to feel the pain of losing her, imagining that it'd be worse than anything else she'd ever experienced. Since she couldn't force Aoi to stop being a kunoichi, she decide that it'd be best for the two o end their relationship, thinking it'd be easier for both of them in the long run. This belief has long since died in her mind, as she only continues to feel more and more empty inside, but she feels like it's much much too late to fix her mistake. So she lives her days in misery, with her only companions being the alcohol she keeps by her side and the odd stranger that it invites to her bed every so often. 【Family ties】 Akio feels nothing for her family name, and had nothing but fear for her father. Her brother and a few of the braver clan members were the only ones in her family to show her any kindness, though not without punishment. Her foster family after the Massacre were kind at first, but soon grew distant as she showed a great lack in interest in them. After that, they simply ignored her and she ignored them. Not the perfect home, but it was peaceful at least.

As for fears, she still fears losing Aoi, and their separation has only intensified this fear, as now not only will she lose her former lover, but she'll lose any chance for reconciliation.

That's a good motto, right?” Tatsuya is tall at around 6'2, and has a rather muscular upper body due to his work in the forge. His hands and arms are covered with numerous scars, burns and callouses due to the work he does every day, but he wears them with pride as they are the symbol of all his hard work. His red eyes come from his father, and shiny red hair comes from his mother. He also has a tattoo on his upper right arm of Ketsui lodged in the mouth of an active volcano. He got it the day he became a Genin as a symbol to never forget the determination it took to get him there, so that no matter how long the road to greatness looked, he'd never give up. His normal clothing style is usually a plain white T-shirt, some jeans and steel toed boots( a nessecity in his profession). He sometimes where a jacket if it;s cold enough for one, but more often than not, that's it for his casual wear. His combat outfit is a black, long sleeve shirt, a jacket over that, black combat pants and shinobi sandals. Personnel files.

Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Tatsuya is a more weapon-based fighter, specialized in Kenjutsu mostly, as that is the weapon he uses most often, and has the most skill in using. That being said, his Taijutu is serviceable enough that he's not completely defenseless without his weapons, but it'll only do him so well for so long, especially against a skilled Taijutsu fighter. His Ninjutsu is also quite good, with a focus on controlling the battlefield rather than simply blasting his opponents away. Up close, Tatsuya is a very good fighter, but he often has issues against distance opponent unless he can figure out a way to get them to come to him. He can either uses his jutsu to force his foe closer, or takes the battle to them instead. When it comes to using his Kekkei Genkai, he can sometimes use it to distract his opponents by making the ground underneath their feet really hot via forming lava just below the surface. A sneaky, but effective strategy, especially when facing an enemy of a higher skill level than him, as that split second distraction could give him just the edge he needs to either escape, or end a fight. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Lava Release Description: The lava release is a very versatile Kekkei Genkai that has multiple variations and abilities depending on how one uses it. For Tatsuya, he bears an affinity for manipulating volcanic materials like as Magma making a very, very deadly opponent to go up against. His Lava attacks can change the very battlefield, giving him a good amount of Offensive, defensive, and crowd controlling abilities. An added plus to this ability is that one can convert certain earth-style techniques into Lava style ones, at the cost of an increased chakra cost. With some practice, Tatsuya has also been able to create a rubber-like material as well, which he can change the consistency of his chakra to make it work as an adhesive. While he's not skilled enough with it yet to use it in battle, in time it could add to his crowd control and supportive abilities. Tatsuya himself suffers no ill effects from his use of this ability, and seems to have a bit of heat resistance as well, though not enough to make a real difference against a fire jutsu(this doesn't include his own lava, which he's immune to). It's a neat party trick for him to snuff out a cigarette on with his hands, but that's about it. Strengths: The lava style is a highly variable ability, granting nearly unparalleled offensive capability, effective defenses, and crowd control capabilities. Weaknesses: Lava attacks can be effectively countered by a strong enough Water attack, cooling down the magma into rock. Also, this ability is highly destructive, endangering both friend and foe if Tatsuya isn't careful about what abilities he uses and how he uses them. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: B rank techniques: Shadow Clone Jutsu C rank techniques: Fire Release: Crimson Earth Spider Earth Release: Subterranean Voyage D-E rank techniques: 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu Name: Doton: Ishi Yoroi no Ude (Earth Release: Stone Bracers) Rank: D Range: Self Description: By taking dirt and rubbing it on their arms or legs, after performing the necessary hand seals, a shinobi is able to create very durable defensive bracers that add extra protection when using the arms to block. The chakra that is infused in them help to soften the blows of any physical attacks. These are very useful for taijutsu users or to defend against an onslaught of upper body blows. These bracers are designed to block physical attacks only. However, by channeling Yoton Chakra into the Jutsu, the rocks and what not can heat up to a degree that while the burns they cause are minor, they can be extremely painful and distracting to the opponent. Jutsu Name: Tsuchi Tou Tou (Swift Earth) Rank: D, B with the addition of Yoton chakra/used with his Lava Creation Jutsu Range: Current range would be 10 meter at maximum, with 2 meter width, and the earth moves at high speeds Description: When performing this jutsu the user places his hands on the ground and causes it to move rapidly away as if it were a conveyor belt. As the shinobi increases in skill and rank the size, speed, and range of this jutsu all increase. While little more than a delaying tactic, if mixed with Lava Creation, it can create a rather deadly surge of lava heading straight toward the target at high speeds. Jutsu name Lava Style: Lava Creation Rank: B Range: 2 meters in diameter from the starting point Description: The user will first channel chakra into the ground, thus turning the ground to lava. The process is quick, as the ground will melt away into the liquid-like lava. This lava can be used to aid in his other lava based jutsu by creating a source which he can manipulate, instead of creating it himself. To increase the base area that is converted, the user must have both of his hands in contact with the ground. Jutsu Name Lava Style: Lava Spray Rank: B Range: Mid Description: After making the needed handseals, Tatsuya builds up Lava Style chakra inside of his gut before blasting out a jet of molten lava into the air, causing a dangerous and widespread rain of lava droplets to fall to the ground. The spread of this jutsu makes it nearly impossible to dodge, though it can be blocked if the foe has the capability. Alternatively, Tatsuya can also just fire the magma jet directly at the foe in a fast moving stream. Jutsu Name Lava Style: Weapon Creation Rank: D Range: Any active Lava source with in 30 meters Description: The user of this jutsu will first channel chakra into an active source of lava, which will cause it to rise up quickly and making the lava thicker then usual, allowing the user to then mold it into a weapon with a few simple gestures. The weapons created will be about as hard as steel, but are usually rather crude and blunt. Jutsu Name Katon: Nenshou Tosshin (Fire Release: Burning Rush) Rank: C Range: Sphere goes is 2 meters long in diameter Description: A two-part technique in which the user blocks an attack by creating a sphere of fire around themselves, and after blocking the attack, the fires converge on his feet, cloaking them in flames. The fire on his feet can be used twice to launch him at his foes somewhat faster than before. The effect lasts for about 3 posts. Jutsu Name Lava Style: Eruption Rank: A Range: Affected area would be have a diameter of about 25-30 meters, power explosions have a blast radius of about 10 meters(one or two holes), 8 meters for 3 or 4, 4 meters for 5 or 6, 2 meters for 7 or 8. Description: In preparation for this technique, Tatsuya will channel chakra through the earth to create Yoton beneath it's surface over a period of time (2 Posts). As a result of this action, the surface of the affected area will become noticeably hotter as the lava beneath is pushed toward the surface by the built up pressure. Tatsuya can then release this build up pressure by creating small craters in the ground with either explosion tags, thus releasing this pent up magma in a explosive Mini-eruption at every point where a hole was created. The more holes the smaller the explosion will be, and vice versa in that less holes will equal more power explosions. With the combination of the explosion and lava this jutsu can lead to severe injuries and even death if a foe is got unaware. It can also create several lava pools after use, which Tatsuya can then use to his advantage to control how his opponent moves around the battlefield. A side effect of this technique is that it will lead to a nasty surprise to anyone trying to move underground or using ground shifting Dojutsu. The former for obvious reasons, and the latter because it will weaken the ground around them, causing the jutsu to activate prematurely. Weaknesses are the preparation time, making it something that can't be effectively used without either a teammate or pre-planning. It can also be activated prematurely by the above method, and can't be used in certain areas. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Tool Name: Bag of Dirt Description Enough said, for Stone Bracers when there isn't much dirt around. Just in case Weapon Name: Ketsui Weapon Type A double-edged Bastard Sword Description Ketsui is the sword that Tatsuya had to make to be allowed to become a shinobi by his father, a blade of unquestionable quality and a showing of true talent and hard work to be made by one as young as him. NOt only does it have a keen edge and made from durable metal, but during the forging process(where a mix of traditional and modern techniques were applied) he inscribed special seals into the metal to give it an extra function. The blade could now store elemental chakra with in itself and circulate it through the blade more effectively, enabling it to more effectively take on the aspects of whatever element it pumped into it. This also makes it capable of forming advanced chakra natures, such as Tatsuya's own Lava Release, with remarkable ease. And since it's able to store chakra as well, that means that one can fully charge it before a mission and activate and deactivate the seals inside with a simple one handed seal and a little chakra. Chakra effects: Fire: The blade is wreathed in a thin, but intense veil of fire, allowing it to cut through metals with only moderate difficulty and cause third degree burns. Earth:The blade becomes denser and more durable Lava: The Blade becomes as Hot as Molten Lava, cutting through metal with ease as well as getting a slight increase in durabilty The charge is big enough that it can keep the blade active for a total of 5 posts. The Lava style requires more chakra, however, so he can only hold that for about 3 posts instead of 5. Tool Name: First Aid Kit Description A basic medical kit that holds several chakra pills, first aid supplies Weapon name: Shuriken Description: Sharpened, four-pronged metal stars, useful for throwing. They can also be used for close combat, but not very efficiently. Although small, they can be used to distract, pin down enemy shinobi, or if accurate enough, can kill or incapacitate an enemy. They have an open circle in the centre, useful for grabbing with a finger, to avoid cutting oneself, or to put thread through. The circle is also beneficial to the weapon's overall aerodynamics, ensuring more accurate trajectories. Weapon name: Kunai Description: A black dagger with a handle wrapped in bandages and a small ring attached to the end of it. The kunai is designed for thrusting and stabbing, though it can still do some damage if thrown despite not being designed for it, and is about the length of one's hand. Weapon name: Explosive tags Description: These tiny slips of paper with seals drawn on them can pack quite a punch if used correctly, and can even be attached onto an enemy directly. Also can be attached to thrown kunai for accurate delivery or have a bunch wrapped into a ball for a more devastating payload. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Tatsuya is an honest and sociable sort, one who believes that the best way to get something is to earn it through the sweat of your brow and the strength of your will. He's very open in both mind and personality, accepting of pretty much everyone, and at times a bit too forgiving, which people have taken advantage of in the past and probably will continue to do so in the future. However, don't take that as him being slow witted or foolish, as his mind is as sharp as the blades he forges, and he has a keen intuition, honed by years of attending his family's shop, for picking out when people are lying to him or trying to pull the wool over his eyes. He tries his best to remain courteous with all kinds people, but he's no pushover, and if you don't back off nicely, he will make you back off, whether it be through words or actions. Tatsuya is also a bit of an artist, putting his experience in the forge into various metalworking projects and sculptures. While he's not terrible, it's obvious to see that e's still trying to find his niche with the art, as every piece is very different from one another, and he has yet to see one he particularly likes yet. He's also good at drawing, but that kind of a necessity when making designs for weapons, armors, and other such works, but he does sometimes take time out of his busy days to just relax and draw the world around him, mostly just random people on the street who catch his interest. While usually rather humble and modest, Tatsuya takes great pride in what he calls his true art form, forging weapons and armors of his own that have a cool style while still remaining practical in use. He treats every work like a piece of art, and has also taken to learning several weapon types, because he always feels that if he knows how to use the weapon himself, he can better forge it for his customers. His favorite type of weapon is the sword, but he's also learned how to effectively use other weapons, such as the staff, spear, and Naginata. 【History】 Tatsuya's father comes from a clan of reknowned blacksmiths that originated from Mizu no kuni. They were known as the Kajiya Clan, and it's said that it was members of their clan responsible for forging the blades of the Seven Ninja swordsman. However, sometime after the rise of the Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki, a faction of the clan separated from the main branch and left Mizu no kuni, for reason's that very few outside the clan know about. The faction soon splintered off from each other, settling in several different lands across the world, keeping the name of their clan where ever they go to show that they still pride themselves in their linage. His father, Katsuo, was born and raised in Konoha, living there for 17 years before he decided to travel to Kirigakure in order to find out more about his heritage. It was there were he met his wife-to-be, Katsumi Terumi. She was an eccentric inventor, and often considered to be the black sheep of her clan due to her . . . odd mannerisms. While the two didn't get along when they first met, their mutual love to create eventually formed into a relation ship, and after a 5 years, Katsuo returned home with Katsumi to Konoha with her father's blessing, where they were to be happily married 3 years later. Fast forward 10 years in the future to the birth of Tatsuya, their second child and first born son. Tatsuya's early years where tough at first, as he was a rather weak baby, but he pulled through, eventually growing healthy and strong without any complications. Tatsuya soon spent a great amount of time with both of his parents in their respective workshops, and while he tended to lean towards his dad's work then his mother's, he found both of them interesting. As soon as he was able, he would assist them in every endeavor they undertook, no matter how small a task they gave him to do. His family was a happy and connected one, for the most part. The only real conflict ever presented before him was his father's staunch resolve to deny him from becoming a shinobi. Katsuo had seen both his father and brother become shinobi, only to die meaningless deaths and only him and his mother around to mourn them, and he didn't want Tatsuya to become just another forgotten grave in the cemetery, killed before his time because he was nothing but a pawn for the Confederation to use at their leisure. Tatsuya, on the other hand, was adamant about it, wanting it more than anything else. Finally, Katsuo agreed to let the boy become a shinobi, but only if he could make a weapon that would impress him, and not a second before. The task was seemingly impossible for a then 10-year old Tatsuya, but he went at the challenge with a determination that blazed liked a wildfire. Using Kajiya sealsmithing techniques, as well as his own talent and skill with the tools available to him, he worked on numerous weapons, each a good viable weapon, but never reaching Katsuo's standards until one day, 4 years into the agreement, when he presented Ketsui to his father.

51,166	1,381	73	1,663	1,134	Yudai KageyamaRetreating with Seijo, Nori, Mikoto, every red sage ever Red Sages Well, well. Those two recruits surely had a lot to report, which only brought a subtle smirk to Yudai's lips. Part of him wanted to question them if THEY BROUGHT ANY BARRIER DOWN TODAY?! HAH, DID THEY?! They didn't. And honestly it seemed as if he didn't, either. A good job wouldn't hurt, neither massage his ego too much. But oh well, he was certain he would accomplish many other feats within the Red Sages. It was his destiny. As long as the red-haired powerhouse of a man was alive to do the hardworking so Yudai can claim it was his doing, everything would go along pretty well. Honestly, that shuriken in his arm was starting to bother him. So, taking a deep breath, the boy simply grabbed it and pulled it off; blood began flowing out of the wound right after, but it wasn't a problem. Well, it was- that fucking blood actually got on his clothes and washing it away would be hell. Damned Confederation and their daringly manners, Yudai's clothes were brand-new. Pfft. This would be a long travel, even at their pace - there was more than enough time for Yudai to mentally insult the Confederation, but instead, he decided to pursue conversation. Let they hear about the feats those red sages accomplished today. Clearing his throat, he'd move slightly to be within ear-range to both Mikoto and Nori . "So, apart from the unusual Kekkei Genkai..." Yeah, Yudai heard that, he was right next to them. "And both Hyuga and Uchiha," That too. What a eavesdropper. "How it went, for you two?" The question was directed at them, pretty clearly. He even raised a vague hand to gesture towards each of these two. Whatever they answered (unless they insulted him or so), he'd just nod with a slight smile and possibly reply with; 'Good'.An hour later and they finally arrived at their base. The large, metal door parted, revealing a secretary. Seijo paused briefly, gathering something from her, then announced that they might have a mission later tonight. Oh, that would be hell - Yudai thought that after an accomplished mission, it was time for glory, women and wine. Disappointing. But exciting, nonetheless. He moved inside, together with the other red sages, immediately making his way to his personal room. In there, he got rid of his battle attire, standing only in his trousers. Then, he proceeded to open one of the drawers on his cabinet, picking up a first-aid kit from it. All he needed was some cotton, alcohol and bandages. After getting that, he returned the first aid kit there and sat at his bed. Slowly, he began cleaning the wound, wincing slightly. After he was done, he wrapped some bandages around his arm and voila, it was perfect. He felt as if it wasn't needed to bother any of the medics with his wounds, there would certainly be other shinobi who'd need it much more than he, himself. Now, he began dressing into something... better. A long sleeved white shirt, simple all in all, with a pair of black cargo pants and a pair of simple boots. He rolled the shirt's sleeves up to his elbows and then folded the collar neatly. There. And then, a knock on his door; he opened it, receiving an invitation to the conference room. Heeeeere we go. After a few moments, Yudai had already made himself comfortable in one of the many chairs. His crystalline eyes stared up at the commander as she welcomed them, shortly after questioning if any of the present shinobi had something to say. He didn't, so he kept himself quiet - apart from the noises his chair made while he moved around to a more comfortable position. UchihaSlowly starting to question Higoho's sanity The Hamajõ Confederation Kaori didn't buy his 'I'm fine'. If It was her in his place, she'd be curled up in a ball, in a corner, crying and claiming she had broken four ribs. Or all of them. Maybe this boy was tough. Well, one thing was for sure; he certainly had a keen interest in the 'Great' clans of Konohagakure. As if, the Uchiha wasn't seen as a great clan since a long time ago, rather, they were treated with utter disdain and prejudice by some, even. This, all thanks to the historical records of the likes of Uchiha Madara. Nonetheless, Kaori didn't voice this, instead, she just proceeded to say something more... social. "Yep! They do, but a great clan's name isn't the only thing to make great shinobi, I'm sure." Well, she wasn't sure of what the hell she was saying, but she just felt inclined to say something like that, beaming a slight smile. Which, after his claim of only having a dumb brother, shifted into a slight frown. A long time passed since she lost her deceased brother - and honestly, she hardly spent any time with him to build any sort of bond, but still, he was family. Her mind then wandered to her older brother, Keiji. How would this attack affect his job? Hmm, maybe- The thoughts were interrupted as Higoho Hyuga practically shoved Kaori and Tanji out of his way. What was he doing? Couldn't he stop being an imbecile for a single second? She was distracted and didn't catch the scene where he was previously insulted. The boy continued marching angrily towards an armored figure - and then, a loud noise erupted together with a cloud of debris and dust, which seemed like an earthquake had just happened in a single small area. Once it subsided, she could see Higoho marching out of said dust, he looked angry. She immediately looked at Tanji with a questioning look. "Has anyone else taken his appearance?" Naomi UzumakiRed Sages Her retreat went uninterrupted, she wasn't even actively partaking in the mission, after all. It was her own decision to avoid direct conflict, only picking off Confederation shinobi that distracted themselves - and yet, only harming them sufficiently to drop their combat effectiveness, from a safe distance. Shurikenjutsu had always been her focus in combat and, while many underestimated it, Naomi always considered it very effective in any skirmish she'd encounter herself in. She didn't gather with the rest of the Red Sages. In fact, she was actually a few steps ahead of them; she had retreated a bit earlier, since when the order was given, she was already far away. So as soon as her shadow clone disappeared and she was filled in with the information to retreat, Naomi did so and together with her speed, she made a rather quick way home, leaping from tree branch to tree branch all the while she glanced behind her to see if there was any known figure following. Apparently... Not, perhaps she had moved too fast for the poor soul to keep up. Upon arriving the base, Naomi leaned her back against a nearby wall and took off the crimson mask she wore until now, judging it was safe to reveal her face now. She didn't do it back then because she didn't want to be branded as a traitor and rebel, especially given the high number of Konohagakure-nin and civilians present in the event that could later recognize her, if she ever went back home. It only took a few minutes for Seijo and the trope to arrive, emerald green eyes latching onto the figures following the Lady-Commander. There were many, but some specifically caught her attention; since when did the Red Sages began recruiting pretty faces and even with some versatility, eh? The Uzumaki tied the mask she previously wore to her waist, letting it hang there. She still wore the dark red cloak which covered most of her form. Once the door opened and the Red Sages began to enter. She remained outside, which attracted strange looks from the entering members. Well, no problem. How long would it take for her cousin to arrive? Ah, Naomi also had to notify someone who's ranking was higher; she wasn't sure if he'd officially join them, but the way he said he wanted to help.. Well, probably would.	Nero's Compendium! "Pillars are what support a structure, but if one ever crumbles, all of them will fall.” Yudai is a tall and somewhat imposing young man, standing at 5'8" \| 1,78m. His physique appears to be lean, but on closer inspection one could notice that he's in fact fit, with subtle musculature definition everywhere on his body. His hair is a dark brown color and often unkempt, as if he didn't care at all about the way it looks - this is slightly contradicting to the fact that his ears are pierced, which possibly proves that the boy does cares about his appearance. His pale blue eyes constantly flicker from point to point, rarely focusing on something for too long - some note that he always looks distant, as if not paying any attention to his surroudings. The Kanji on his clothes are 影山 (Kageyama, his family name). Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Kageyama Yudai 【Alias】【Affiliation】 Red Sages 【Age】 18 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Straight 【Birthplace】 Iwagakure 【Bloodline】 N/A 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Every aspect of Yudai, at least externally and from his appearance itself, seems distant. His gaze is a constant reminder of this, given the way it roams the whole time, briefly pausing on his surroundings before he takes interest in something else again. Even when Yudai is directly talking to someone, he avoids eye-contact entirely and if someone even tries to stare at him or look directly at his eyes for too long, he'll become rapidly nervous and anxious and might even avoid the person in question for a while. Otherwise, Yudai is relaxed, but extremely observant. His mind is constantly noticing what is actually happening around him and thus, while others might see him as distracted and distant, he's the opposite. He finds his own life rather boring the majority of time which prompts him to search for enthusiasm on other things out on the world. He's also easily interested in hearing stories from others, or even simply listening others talk about their own life. He has his own ambitions of becoming a highly respected political figure or leader, one day. But on the way the world is currently, he shoved such ambitions away and for now, he's only focused on strengthening himself. 【History】 Yudai's birth came from the love between Reiko and Kohaku - sadly, however, Reiko died due to complications at his birth. While the expected outcome was his father to put the blame on him and give Yudai the worst life ever, in order for this story to follow the traditional hero backstory guide, the opposite happened. Kohaku Kageyama was a hard-working man. He used to be a powerful shinobi many years ago, but lost his left eye and his right hand was completely destroyed in the same battle, thus leaving him unapt for battle for the rest of life. The loss of his wife could've disgraced his life forever, but instead, he found new hope on his newborn child, Yudai - the name 'Yudai' itself, was to show the man's hope of a hero, not for the nation, not for the world, but a hero that would save Kohaku himself from utter depression. Which Yudai indeed did. As any other child, he was very, very curious about everything and from the day he began learning his first words, he'd frequently ask his father about everything. Even about the eyepatch the man wore on his left eye, about the bandages around the man's right hand - and when the man began explaining about shinobi, about the wars.. Well, Yudai only became more interested in it altogether. Often, Yudai and Kohaku spent hours chatting about whatever, the subject leaped from how eggs were produced to why the sky was blue. As he matured, reaching the age of eleven, Yudai slowly began developing a strange desire to be someone who had a high position. Power. He wanted to be esteemed in a way that people would admire and respect because of his achievements in life. Of course, it was too soon to think about that, and Yudai was a mere child with an ambition bigger than himself. For now, the boy focused on studying and training. He had taken an immense interest in shinobi. In fact, he spent more time reading about chakra, taijutsu and ninjutsu than he spent studying the school's subjects, which was the reason he almost failed the year. His father aided him when he could, he gave his son clear training routines and made him follow them strictly. He felt immense pride in his son following the same steps as him, while the same time, was divided with the fear that he could end suffering the consequences of a war - like the man himself did. But, the thoughts that peace had finally settled in eased that fear. When Yudai graduated, at the age of 14, he knew exactly that his dream of becoming someone with high power was indeed his true ambition. You see, he received quite the praise for being a dedicated student - even if he almost failed in the past year, he dedicated himself the most to studying this one and got amazing grades, impressing his teachers and father. When they openly talked about him and his dedication, his heart pouded inside his chest with what he could only understand as recognition. Time eventually passed, Yudai grew into a fine - and very attractive - young man. He noticed that women around started to take interest in him, perhaps it was the pale blue eyes, but honestly, he didn't care all that much. Yudai did had quite a few cases with one or another girl here and there, but it never blossomed into a true relationship, he was that type of guy. In fact, the older Yudai got, the more he found his life... boring. It wasn't no one's fault, truly. It was just that his ambition - it was something that seemed far away from his reach, impossible - it was as if he could fight his whole life for it and yet, he'd never taste it. Finally, Yudai finished highschool. It was the same year that he also offically graduated to a chunin rank shinobi - and the year he finally took interest in his own life, even if only just a little. It all started with one group... the Red Sages. Initially, Yudai was very confused about his choices, when he heard about the group, many wrong ideas filled his mind. But, then, he shoved them away - for he knew in the end, that it was for his own best. You see, the Confederation might've been good for the countries, but it left no option for those who wanted to be something bigger or greater. They had nothing for those who wanted... recognition. In the opposite spectrum, the Red Sages were everything; he knew from the start that if he put his power, his will and his life onto it, like an investment, he'd receive what he wanted in return. He heard it - could be rumors indeed, but they were fulfilling rumors of rebels seeking something greater than an illusionary peace. 【Family ties】 Kageyama is an old and traditional family. The majority of it's members were shinobi, with exceptions. They are divided, with a minor part living in Iwagakure and a larger part living in Konohagakure. In Konohagakure, Kageyama were known for running a restaurant which goes by the name of Yama-Yama. Kohaku \| Father \| 38, Iwagakure, retired veteran Reiko \| Mother \| 34, N/A, deceased Shou \| Uncle \| 30, Konohagakure, cook Rei \| Aunt \| 28, Konohagakure, cook Sora \| Cousin \| 17, Konohagakure, attendant Rin \| Cousin \| 16, Konohagakure, waitress/chunin 【Dreams and fears】 Vague dreams that are rather difficult to understand, Yudai truly holds true to his desire of reaching a high position within society, one day. Not only that, he also dreams of becoming an extremely powerful shinobi, in order to ease his own path towards greatness. He fears of not being recognized, or being 'just someone else' - a faceless individual who has nothing, no respect, glory of power. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Yudai is balanced between taijutsu and ninjutsu, rarely resorting to weapons or ranged weapons. He's very intelligent and tactical in his decisions, as if he had read everything there was to read regarding shinobi (which he probably did in his early life). See, while he's quite strong in hand-to-hand combat, Yudai's first choice is to always analyze his opponent. He appears to be MUCH more experienced and prepared than he truly is due to the manner he keeps himself extremely calm, in any situation. To him, a battle is nothing too different from his daily struggle with life itself. Normally, his Doton ninjutsu is used as a defensive manner, instead of offensively. Thus, he'll always avoid ranged assaults with it. Sometimes, he'll use it offensively as nintaijutsu, but only if he finds a true opening to do so. What Yudai lacks is withstanding power. He might have defensive methods with Doton, but he can't take many hits - neither last too long in a battle. His stamina isn't the greatest, nor is his chakra pool; in most battles, he either needs to drop his foes quickly, or avoid in a way or another fighting after he begins tiring. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: N/A Description: Yudai does not possess a kekkei genkai. Strengths: N/A Weaknesses: N/A 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: -- B rank techniques: Doton - Doryūheki Doton - Iwayado Kuzushi C rank techniques: Doton - Moguragakure no Jutsu D-E rank techniques: Doton - Doryū Taiga Doton - Doryūdan Doton - Shinjū Zanshu no Jutsu 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Doton - Kotai no Hakai Rank: A Range: Short/Self - hand to hand range. Description: This powerful technique developed by Yudai himself allows him to concentrate his doton chakra onto his hands and arms, coating them with a solid earthly surface. This requires minor constante chakra usage, but it's not very taxing in the long run. What taxes Yudai's chakra sources, however, is the uses this 'chakra armor' has. When used offensively, Yudai can promptly force earthly spikes to surge from anywhere on his arms - fingers, hands, elbows, shoulders; thus, he make turn what would be an easily readed attack onto an unexpected one. Additionally, this also has defensive uses, meaning that when under assault, Yudai can place his arms together and create a defensive shield that protects him from assasults. This defense is powerful enough to withstand some ninjutsu (especially katon), but is ineffective against futon and raiton. The chakra coating can last for a long time if nor the offensive or defensive effects are used, but whenever Yudai chooses to use them, he'll be drained very quickly. Jutsu name: Doton - Jishin Rank: B Range: Long - a large circular area around Yudai (35m roughly) Description: Yudai does the following handseals: Bird, Dog, Ram, Rat. Then, he leans down and slams both of his hands at the ground, causing a large area around him to erupt onto a shattering earthquake, those standing around him will find it impossible to stand without falling - and falling, means taking huge damage as the doton chakra breaks the earth apart and makes them wildly throw about. The center, where Yudai stands, is completley unaffected. This technique might sound powerful and it indeed is, if used in the center of a village for example, he could likely destroy whole buildings easily --- but he'd be killed before major damage was caused, so this is just an example. Otherwise, agile shinobi who can leap and move far away from the area will easily avoid it. If Yudai is attacked or distracted, it will stop as well. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Can be a term, i.e 'kunai' or it can be a self given name, i.e 'Revered Razor'. Weapon, tool or object type: What type of weapon, tool or object is this? Sword, axe, kunai, knife, blade, tanto. Omit if the weapon, tool or object name already designates this. Description: Describe the weapon, tool or objects appearance, and describe it's potentials and weaknesses. tl;dr how powerful is it and what does it look like. Be reasonable. “I hate... ... No, seriously. I can't stand anything that tastes too sweet. It's.. uhng. Bad.” Kaori has an average height and weight, standing at 5'5" and 127lbs, she also has a slender figure with only slightly curves, though one might notice that she was rather wide hips - from likely training and improving her own body. Kaori has a round face, with large eyes, a delicate and small nose and thin lips. Her jet black hair falls well past her shoulders and is often groomed, kept well clean and it even smells nicely; though there are always a few wild strands here and there. She dresses rather simply, keeping a black and grey theme in her attire. She wears a high-collared black shirt, with a short grey jacket with the Uchiha's clan symbol on it's back, a pair of fingerless black gloves and black shorts, together with a pair of knee-high black boots with metallic platings on their nose.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Kaori is usually seen as a cheerful young girl who's still inexperienced to the world's hardships, but that's simply because of her manner of expressing herself; she's kind, even gentle to certain extent and isn't fond of conflicts, always preferring peaceful manners unless using force is an absolute must. That's not to say she's scared of fighting though, Kaori simply adores friendly spars and testing her own abilities- otherwise, she wouldn't ever take training as serious as she does. Despite her cheerful nature, Kaori is not exactly a social butterfly. See, she believes that being positive and keeping her spirit high is helpful to herself and to others in a way. However, it's very rare for Kaori to approach someone and talk openly, rather, she's quite timid and avoids talking unless she's talked to first and usually, being talked to makes her very happy. When it comes to her clan, the Uchiha, Kaori takes high pride in them. In fact, she believes herself superior but doesn't voices it - unless she gets too excited in a battle, to notice. She views the Sharingan as a gift, but only uses it in battle when she clearly needs it, given she has this slight fear of overusing or overshowing her doujutsu, especially in consideration with the events of the past that has led others to develop a distrust towards the sharingan. This same distrust, is what makes Kaori very cautious about talking to strangers, after all, there is still some prejudice against the sharingan specifically, given the events of the past, given the way things are - given the Confederation's actions against some of Kaori's brethren. Lastly, Kaori is very comprehensible and whenever she relates to someone, she tends to become very interested in developing a friendship. She has no interest in any sort of romantic interaction, after all, she's pretty sure she's not the one to gather that sort of interest, anyway. 【History】 Kaori's early life has been quite different than the usual. See, both her mother and her father are shinobi - both also very strict in the sense of pointing Kaori in the same direction as them: Which meant she was trained from the day she could walk. Kaori had two siblings, both boys, one older by a few years and the other, two years older than her. Their names were Kichirou and Keiji, respectively. Kichirou was an arrogant man, see, he had the Sharingan and that very motive led him to be, simply put, an asshole towards mostly everyone. Filled with pride beyond limit, he thought of himself as utterly superior - being a prodigy didn't help. Kichirou was way above the average when it came to shinobi, with only eleven years, he achieved the feat of developing a second chakra nature which was the reason he was then hailed as a genius. Kaori was only six when this happened, while Keiji was eight - he had just entered school. Usually, both trained together but Keiji was too focused at school, he had a peculiar desire of being an inventor or scientist - Kaori could never understand clearly - that draws him away from the training fields. This was frowned upon by her parents, more specifically her father. The man had this strange... desire to blindly follow the Confederation, claiming that the Uchiha had to be a strong clan in order to prove and... redeem themselves. Kaori would only understand that years later. On a cold night, a few days before Kaori's 7th birthday, a scene marked her forever. Through her window, she saw both her father and Keiji outside, having what seemed to be a small discussion. The boy held some books under his arms and was apparently refusing a 'gift' that Kaori's father was offering him - a katana. From the little Kaori could understand, Keiji tried to explain to their father that he wasn't interested in becoming a shinobi and that he believed there were other ways to help and be useful; in the end, all she could remember was Keiji being severely beaten by their own father while all she could do was watching. This forever changed the way she saw her father. War changes someone, truly. That was what had happened with Kaori's father, he was changed, molded by war. Perhaps he believed that it would happen again and wanted his offsprings to be prepared, perhaps it was something else, perhaps he was simply put, insane. Kaori never quite understand his fixation with training and becoming stronger, but what she could understand is that her oldest brother wasn't the only gifted Uchiha of this family, for that night, Kaori's anger and fear evoked a power hidden within her; she awakened her Sharingan. However, she never told her father. Instead, that motivated her to train more. It wasn't to please the man, no, it was to fulfill herself. Her older brother could be as arrogant as she wanted, but Keiji was always there for her, and she, for him. The boy returned to train with Kaori and for the first time in all these eleven years, she had beaten him - and very easily, too. The excitement and buildup of this whole spar awarded Kaori with a second tomoe in her left eye and brought immense surprise to Keiji, but he promised to never tell anyone. During school, all Kaori thought was when it'd end so she could return to her training; she wasn't a bright student, honestly, but Keiji who was seriously smart helped her a lot. When she was close to turning 12, her oldest brother was found dead within the village's borders. This utterly crushed the family, but specifically, Kaori's father entered a state of depression. He treated the whole family as if it was their fault and practically locked himself in his room for a whole year, very rarely getting out. During this time, Kaori had improved a lot. By now, she had developed three tomoes on her left eye, and two on her right eye. Her reaction time, reflexes and precision had seen a jump, and so had her genjutsu and ninjutsu. Her mother, a genjutsu specialist, taught her a few things which aided her. Keiji had been awarded a prize of best student of the year or something akin to that which Kaori never knew roughly in the same date Kaori's sharingan fully matured. The following years went by swiftly, Kaori trained and improved, developing jutsu of her own - while her older brother started working as a project analyst or something of the sort, within the Confederate. She received a pleasant gift from him on her sixteen birthday: A sword, Keiji guaranteed her that this prototype was much more resistant and that wouldn't break or melt easily as the many other swords Kaori had destroyed until now. He also mentioned that the sword was specifically made to withstand katon chakra - and lastly, he made Kaori an offer. To join the Confederate, given her potential as a shinobi. She thought for a while, truth be spoken she was quite afraid of becoming as crazy as her father, but the girl ended up giving a wild smile and agreeing with him. 【Family ties】 As an Uchiha, Kaori'll have ties with mostly any Uchiha, period. But they're all pretty vague apart from her own family itself. Takeshi Uchiha \| Father \| 53, Konohagakure, ex-Veteran, temporarily retired-confederate jounin Takeshi retired due to his trauma after his older son's death, he has yet to recover. Michiko Uchiha \| Mother \| 44, Konohagakure, shinobi - genjutsu specialist Kichirou Uchiha \| Brother \| 26, Konohagakure, deceased Keiji Uchiha \| Middle-Brother \| 18, Konohagakure, confederate project analyst 【Dreams and fears】 Kaori has yet to find true dreams and ambitions to follow. She's young and still looking for something to, well, follow. Maybe an ideal. Honestly, her fears are very vague, as well. She partially fears her own father, but her biggest fear is losing her brother Keiji, who has been the closest person to her since ever. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Kaori focuses on using Fire Release to dispel of her foes, burning them down, together with very efficient genjutsu provided by her Sharingan. She's experienced in hand to hand, but it's easy to tell her taijutsu is her weaker side - even with the added aid from the Sharingan abilities provide her. While Taijutsu is a weak spot, her Kenjutsu is noticeably better, as her movements with a sword are clearly trained and precise, especially given she can use her blade together with fire release in order to increase it's efficiency. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Sharingan Description: The Sharingan (写輪眼, Literally meaning: Copy Wheel Eye, Meaning (Viz): Mirror Wheel Eye) is the dōjutsu kekkei genkai of the Uchiha clan that appears selectively among its members. It is regarded as one of the Three Great Dōjutsu (三大瞳術, San Daidōjutsu, Literally meaning: Three Great Eye Techniques), the others being the Byakugan and the Rinnegan. Strengths: Kaori's Sharingan is fully matured, meaning that it has three tomoes on each eye. This means that when active, Kaori is granted both abilities; the Eye of Insight, giving her the ability to see chakra in different colors in order to distinguish composition and source, an incredibly clarity of perception, meaning that she can see even very fast attacks with some ease and she's capable of minimum predictive abilities, anticipating an opponent's next move or attack and lastly, copy jutsu - but only those she has the ability and knowledge to replicate. Secondly, she's granted the "Eye of Hypnotism", which means Kaori can perform what is generically called Genjutsu: Sharingan. While there are various manifestations and purposes of the ability, the better known one is to, through eye contact, suggest thoughts and actions to a target, coercing them to divulge information or act in a particular way, potentially without the target's awareness. In extreme cases, the Sharingan user can take complete control of the target's body, forcing them to do exactly as the controller wishes; this control is visually indicated by the Sharingan's design appearing in the target's eye. Kaori's ability with this is actually pretty good, a momentarily eye-contact with her Sharingan active is enough to put her opponent in a dangerous genjutsu. Weaknesses: The Sharingan is a worldly known Dojutsu, thus, everyone should be able to recognize it instantly. This makes the Genjutsu very hard to apply, as all the opponent needs to do, is avoid eye-contact. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: N/A B rank techniques: Katon: Gōka Mekkyaku Katon: Haisekishō C rank techniques: Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu D-E rank techniques: Genjutsu: Sharingan While Kaori is skilled to certain extent, she has yet to achieve a grand power-level with genjutsu used through her sharingan. In a brief eye contact, she can merely put her opponent(s) in a simpler genjutsu, that requires little to no effort to break them (if they know how to do so). If there is prolonged eye contact however, she'll be able to cast greater genjutsu. 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Ken Katai (Fire Sword) Rank: C~A Range: Self / Sword's Range Description: Kaori flows an intense blazing chakra through her sword's blade, coating the whole blade with it. The more chakra she uses, the more noticeable it gets given the sword's blade begins turning a slight shade of red - until reaching the maximum, a deep crimson color. The amount of chakra also changes the effects and their strength. If Kaori only uses a minor amount of chakra (C rank), the blade's cutting power increases slightly, the heat makes leave dents whenever it strikes another simple sword or iron object, if in contact with skin, it burn while it cuts. If moderate chakra is applied (B rank) her sword becomes denser and can cut through other swords of average material with some force applied. If it cuts, it will instantly seal the wound - preventing blood, but causing immense pain. With the maximum Kaori can achieve (A rank), the sword's heat raises it's potency to where it could easily cut through iron and even steel, as well as bones with ease. This technique, if applied on an average sword, would only last a few seconds at maximum potency due to how the chakra would also melt the blade it was applied to, itself, but Kaori can keep this technique up for as long as her chakra allows due to her own blade, which would be two to three hours with C rank, one to two hours at B rank, and only two minutes when it achieves the maximum heat (2~3 posts, depending on the time ICly). Jutsu name: Genjutsu: Burning Hell Rank: B Range: Medium Description: Kaori does the required handseals (Tiger, boar, dragon) while she takes a deep breath, then, she exhales the air in the form of a strange smoke that will divide and proceed to form a circle around a small area, before igniting ablaze. This fire, by itself, is harmless. However, if an enemy feels the fire's heat, they'll slowly fall onto a genjutsu prepared by Kaori together with this technique. The heat will increase even if they move away from the flames and they'll eventually increase to the point where it's unbearable, the opponent might try to take their clothes off, throw water onto their body, drink water - no matter, it will never work and the heat will only increase, eventually they'll feel as if every drop of water in their body has been dried and pass out, if the genjutsu is not broken. 【Weaponry, tools and objects】 Weapon, tool or object name: Hinõken Weapon, tool or object type: A katana. Description: Hikoken looks like a simple katana, with a red, beautiful handle. The sword is of excellent craft and it's blade is chakra resistant, allowing the wielder to flow their chakra through it - the blade is specifically repective to katon chakra, which is the reason it was given to Kaori. “Let's end this quickly.” As usual to Uzumaki, Naomi's hair is a crimson red, it's short - with two bangs framing her face and the back is spiky, styled per her own taste. She wears simple silver earrings on each ear and a thin black eyeliner, meaning that she seemingly cares about her outward appearance. Her eyes are a vivid green, intense and large, usually her most prominent trait when one looks directly at her face. She's always wearing a scarf around her neck, the color varies but she usually sports a mix of red, green, yellow and dark orange scarves. Naomi wears a sleeveless dark gray jacket with a simple light gray blouse underneath, a pair of red fingerless gloves that reach her elbows (the seals of her Kuchiyose: Raikō Kenka are placed on the gloves) and slate gray tight pants that are tucked onto a pair of black boots. Notably, the only visible color on the woman's figure is her scarf and her hair. Her figure is slender yet curvaceous, with notable curves adorning her body. Some satchels are seen; one wrapped around her left thigh, another on her right shoulder and a larger one on the right side of her waist. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Naomi is usually seen as arrogant and stuck up due to her cold demeanor and for being otherwise cool-headed. Thing is, she's not arrogant or stuck up, she simply takes being a shinobi as her life, in and out of a mission or task; she's focused, always, and eliminates any emotion that could possibly disrupt her performance. Considered cruel by those who are more sensitive than her, Naomi takes the death of comrades lightly, analyzing it often with 'the enemy was a better shinobi than him/her', this is not entirely true though, Naomi feels the death of a comrade as anyone else capable of feeling would, she just keeps her suffering to herself and hides it entirely. Being so cold and closed off emotionally, it's hard to befriend anyone - not that she wants to, anyway. Naomi doesn't cares about forming bonds with others, surely there has been an increasing trend of forming bonds within the younger shinobi, but she denies them completely. She also doesn't care about hostility, insults or whatever else, she ignores them completely and even when provoked, she keeps the same stoic expression she always has. In battle is where her emotions flow with intensity above her usual: The adrenaline makes so whenever she's hit, she'll smirk or grin smugly, whenever she hits something, you'll see the same smirk but much broader than before. The more fast paced a battle is, the more she'll enjoy it thoroughly and the more she'll dedicate to the fight. Still, it's very rare for her to exchange words with the opposing shinobi, given her self-control that's dominant even above the adrenaline. Talk about dedication, Naomi is very dedicated to her job as a shinobi - and well, to everything else. As one of her philosophies in life, which is to do everything you do the best way you can, she truly dedicates herself entirely whenever she needs to do something and despises those who's nature is being lazy and avoid hard-work. She also tends to despise those who are gifted with power that requires no true work whatsoever; an example would be those who possess the well known dojutsu (Sharingan or Byakugan). This is a bit hypocritical given she's gifted with the Uzumaki's clan natural strong lifeforce and chakra resources. She sympatizes the most with individuals who are similarly hard-working and dedicate themselves in something and may be willing to interact with them, but forming any close bond is practically impossible as of now. Commonly, Naomi spends a good portion of her day training and improving herself. Distracting her from that usually ends with a huff or a sigh, or any minor sign of annoyance that she'll allow herself to do. Still, she won't scold anyone over anything, ever - she's calm and collected, after all, not arrogant and stuck up. She's actually pretty fine with aiding others if they need so (with training or whatever else), even. She may be a bit self-centered and cold, emotionally, but she's not a psycho who's only emotion ever is adrenaline while fighting. To certain extent, Naomi is capable of being friendly, it all depends the mannerisms of whoever she talks or interacts with. Highly concerned with herself, Naomi fears death above everything else, despite her otherwise cold demeanor and the way she enjoys fighting. When an opponent is clearly overwhelming and above her skill level, she'll... fear them. Of course, trained to hide her emotions, she won't show it at all. This extends itself to allies, out of all the things she's ashamed about herself, the fact that she couldn't possibly put her life in risk in order to save another's is her 'biggest shame'. 【History】 Two Years ago. Naomi's eyes briefly flutter closed, reopening to look down at her extended right palm, a hitai-ate with Konohagakure's symbol resting over it, together with blood that was slowly being washed away by the rain. The girl looks up at the sky, raindrops mixing themselves with the tears that silently made their way down her cheeks. She closed her eyes again. Next to her, was a corpse - a female, with a pale white hair, she was clearly dead - with some blood under her, slowly mixing itself with the water from the intense rain. Suddenly, the kunoichi falls onto her knees, she's completely wet due to the rain at this point. Her palms rest against the ground, pressing the hitai-ate firmly against it. She sobs quietly, but only for a moment before taking a deep breath to recompose herself. "Is this what I'm fighting for? This is what the Confederation has to offer me? THIS IS PEACE?!" With her left hand, Naomi punches the ground with all the force she could muster in her current state. It does nothing. "That's the very least the Confederation will offer you, my dear." A mysterious voice. Masculine. Naomi instantly stood up and held a kunai up, looking around her in an attempt to find it's source. She couldn't see anyone, at all. "We, the Red Sages, we only retaliate against the Confederation's attempt to CRUSH us time and time again. We provoked a war, but only to reclaim what's rightfully ours." The voice, this time, was directly behind her. When she turned, ready to strike the kunai onto the man, he had already disappeared, or so it seemed. He was so fast, that she couldn't keep up with his movements despite how close he was. When she turned, he grabbed her wrist and twisted it back, forcing her to drop the kunai. At this moment, Naomi knew that whoever this man was, he was powerful. Her eyes widened and her breath fastened, she was fearing the outcome of this: Her death. "Do you realize? My only desire was to explain you why your friend lies dead at your feet. Why this system, this PEACE is nothing but a bold lie, explicitly shoved down the throats of all brain dead imbeciles that follow the confederation's tyranny out of nothing but FEAR." Suddenly, the man threw her hand back, grabbed her by both shoulders and shoved her down, forcefully throwing the girl onto the ground. As she looked up, directly into his eyes, he smirked. Those eyes... The Sharingan of the Uchiha, most certainly. And then, she feel in a genjutsu; not to torture, not to destroy her. It was a different genjutsu, that Naomi had never experienced. She was seeing through his eyes - it all, whenever it was a lie, it was vivid and felt real. It... was real. And she could hear his voice in the back of her mind, explaining in detail what she was seeing. The struggle and suffering you are seeing, it's product of the Confederation's corruption. Of it's failed systems, of it's members extravagance and luxurious life. While he explained, she saw it all. Robbers risking their life for a loaf of bread, farmers struggling with what little they had... Then, acts of tyranny; overwhelming attacks from masses of Confederation shinobi against small rebel camps and not only that, they attacked shinobi and average folks alike, even farmers that were simply next to the rebel's camps, all were destroyed, nearly instantly. Some rebels rushed to defend themselves, but were quickly put down; there was a prominent figure that stood out in the Confederate's forces, someone Naomi knew. Then, darkness. Everything became dark. (You may close the rainymood now, if you were so kind to keep it open in order to increase immersion) When she woke up, she was in a crude basement of sorts. Crude, but functional. Many red-sage shinobi moved from a place to another, some carried wooden crates, others were simply chatting about. When she sat up, she was approached by the same figure as before: he looked far less intimidating. There was some movement, people stood up and moved away - soon, she was left alone with him. And then, the offer was made; to join them, or be set free. Strange, weren't they carnage-seeking devils? The man naturally explained their whole cause. In the end, after everything she had seen through the previous genjutsu, she couldn't refuse. Someone had to stop the Confederation. At first, it was difficult taking such an enormous step that changed completely her life - and the majority of the red sages distrusted her presence as a whole, being previously sided with the Confederation. But, on her first missions, minor or not, as a red sage, she showed that she had indeed placed her loyalty with them. After being showed the truth through such a brutal manner, it was difficult not to. As a side note, this is only the chapter which explains how Naomi switched sides. She's currently secretive about being a part of the Red Sages, nonetheless. 【Family ties】 Naomi's family was healthy until the death of her mother, which threw her father in an enraged state; he then became increasingly harder to deal with. The man took his own life when Naomi was seven, that changed her forever. Aika Uzumaki \| Mother \| 39, Konohagakure, deceased at the age of 26 Itama Uzumaki \| Father \| 42, Konohagakure, took his own life at the age of 30 【Dreams and fears】 Naomi dreams of one day overcoming her biggest fear, which is dying currently and she wants to find a way to stop feeling fear as a whole, knowing that such emotion is a result of cowardness. Note that overcoming death is not, well, dying. She just knows that clinging so much to her own life as a shinobi is rather embarassing. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 With an enhanced life-force and vast chakra resource, Naomi is certainly not above keeping a constant offensive on her foes, only falling defensive if she's overwhelmed or outnumbered. Her speed, agility, flexibility and reflexes are impressive. She has trained herself to have some great precision with her attacks, as well. From a medium distance, she's dangerous due to her shurikenjutsu prowess and in close-combat, she's a force to be reckoned with. Long distance, she falls short due to the drop in effectiveness of her shurikenjutsu. She also lacks effective defensive mechanisms, relying on dodging and avoiding being hit to keep herself safe. Her endurance is solid, as any Uzumaki - so is her stamina. In drawn out fights against opponents of the same level as her, she might have advantage due to taking much longer to get tired. Due to her chakra being vast, she's capable of utilizing the Shadow Clone technique, often gaining an advantage on single fights. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu B rank techniques: Kage Bunshin no Jutsu Kuchiyose: Raikō Kenka C rank techniques: Kuchiyose no Jutsu D-E rank techniques: Kaifū no Jutsu Kawarimi no Jutsu Shunshin no Jutsu 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Raiton: Kaminari Yoroi (Lightning Release: Thunder Armor) Rank: B Range: Self Description: Naomi covers her body is lightning chakra, using the lightning to stimulate the her nervous system. By speeding up her neural synapses, she's able to react faster, and to push physical prowess to the absolute limit, allowing for tremendous raw speed. This, combined with Naomi's natural agility and reflexes, turns her into a fearsome opponent while active; it also enhances her lightning release techniques, allowing her to perform nintaijutsu moves and react to things that she otherwise wouldn't be able to. The chakra usage is not as intense as it looks on Naomi, given her vast chakra resources, meaning that she can keep this technique up for long periods of time. Wind techniques can shut the technique down, even if temporarily. This techniques does not increase Naomi's raw strength, only her speed and reflexes. Jutsu name: Raiton: Keikai Denka (Lightning Release: Nimble Charge) Rank: C Range: Close Description: Lightning Chakra is focused on Naomi's arms and shoulders, she'll dash recklessly towards a foe with immense speed produced by the previously activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode and attempt to slam them with her shoulder. This attack is simple all in all, but it's effective given the speed Naomi travels from her current position to her foes' position. If it hits, the opponent takes both taijutsu damage and the electricity might shock them for extra, yet minor damage. It may also cause minor damage to Naomi's shoulder, too. Jutsu name: Raiton: Kaminari Shuriken (Lightning Release: Lightning Shuriken) Rank: C Range: Medium, long with less effectiveness Description: Naomi produces three handseals (boar, dragon, snake) before taking a number of shuriken onto her hands and channeling lightning chakra through them, after she throws they'll gain speed and piercing power, able to break through minor earth release defenses. If they hit someone, the opponent'll receive a much deeper wound than they would to an average shuriken, and electricity will shock their body internally, causing weaker shinobi to fall unconscious if they're hit by more than five or so. Stronger nin could easily resist this, though. Jutsu name: Raiton: Kiyomemasu (Lightning Release: Cleanse) Rank: E Range: Self Description: A simple technique that functions with the same intent as the use of Kai to liberate yourself from a genjutsu. The difference is that if Naomi notices herelf under a genjutsu, she can simply do a single handed seal, producing lightning chakra of her own that enters her body and, if need be, even travels to her brain's vessel network and eliminates any foreign chakra that is trapping her under a genjutsu. The difference between this and the average method of leaving genjutsu, is that this technique acts faster and only a single hand is needed, if she's paralysed or restrained. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Many, many shuriken. Weapon, tool or object type: Shuriken Description: They are shuriken, sealed and ready to use in a random basement. They're likely summoned when she touches her wrists, the end. Weapon, tool or object name: Some kunai. Weapon, tool or object type: A kunai. Description: Usually kept in the pouches she carries with herself. Useful kunai. Weapon, tool or object name: Explosive Tags Weapon, tool or object type: An explosive tag. Description: They're explosive tags, but she only carries a small number of them to avoid accidents. Kept in a pouch on her shoulder. Weapon, tool or object name: Wire strings Weapon, tool or object type: Wire. Strings. Description: Usually used in conjuction with shuriken for unpredictable effects.
51,167	1,381	74	2,089	1,979	Yakoul Kakariko The Confederation's General of Armed Forces The very super fucked Compound of the Festival "Four." The thumb when down after Katsuko tried to send in some kind of insult by saying Yakoul talked a lot to say nothing, not that it minded, it was fully aware of its nasty habit of swearing a lot. It made it seem confident and dominant, though apparently to most normal people it would be a way to hide insecurities. It would be wise to deduce that Yakoul was not like most people. With the redheaded muscleman's next comment before summoning his massive weapon in which Yakoul barely gave an uncaring Saitama stare in response, its index lowering being the only kind of dynamic action coming from the animal. "Three." At this point it was standing next to the commander's body, waiting for Katsuko to finally leave the place. He thought it would be a good idea to make a distraction by just smacking down the ground with his super tool, causing an awesome shockwave. All Yakoul did was coat one of its feet with chakra to glue itself to the ground while its other foot stomped on the corpse's back as it was quickly leaning upwards from the blast, thus keeping it nice and in place. When some of the smoke cleared, people still present would see the feline's middle finger shut. "Two." Katsuko had already departed, out of sight for many but still annoying visible to Yakoul, but that didn't matter. It kept its head turn to the Sage's general direction with its hand still up with the countdown. Slowly in lowered its ring finger as it simply stared at the horizon at this point. "One ... Okay. That was pretty fucking boring. Guess I'll have to punish you two for letting this douchebag die, right?" It formed a malefic grin on its face as it stared back at the knocked back duo of females it had by its side. Slowly wrapping the top third of its tail around the 11th Corp's commander's next, Yakoul would effortlessly lift the dead man off the ground in high above with only the strength of its white tail. Chuckles could be heard, directed at the girls as if something horribly bad was coming their way, and before they knew it, would have the commander's body hurled at them for the girls to catch. "Heads up! Your punishment is to carry this sack of shit to the whatever service fags. Speaking of which ..." Many shinobi seemed to have arrived in ground zero, catering as fast as possible to injured civilians and serving as backup against the stray sages nearby who were too slow to retreat properly. Some were near the compound, medics that could very well take care of the body. Before the girls knew it, Yakoul had crossed them, waking calmly as if nothing happened before stopping to glance back at them, an ominous smile on its expression as it addressed them one last time. "I didn't catch your names, ladies. I'll be sure to know them in the conference in one hour. But you'll be there, right? I mean, it's only natural for you to do so, it would suck to be suspicious in these times. I'll see you around." And with that Yakoul marched out, leaving this desolate mark of history to the scrubs meant to cleanup while to made its way to any form of authority it could find. The feline made it clear that every survivor of this ordeal that wasn't too injured was to be in that crisis meeting in Sunagakure. They were the young lads who would be perfect for this upcoming task as they were bathed in the blood of chaos through this event. There wasn't too much to defend these days after all, and shinobi were often inexperienced or worthless as the job was evidently very lucrative given the policies imposed by Ryuu. Yakoul wanted quality, Yakoul wanted these people right here. The word would spread and more or less everyone involved would be made aware of this crisis conference. Sunagakure's Military Facility - Lecture Hall - 1 hour and 30 minutes later All Confederation Members or Leaning that way are Expected - They can sit wherever and speak with their buddies Within the well guarded training facility based in Sunagakure, a crisis center was established to handle the evidently massive threat that just hit the Confederation. The Red Sages had become a thing again, and it wasn't going to be an easy dance, but there was no time to hesitate and be scared. The news outlets didn't say too much other than report on the facts they were given without a direct statement from the government as of yet. Most officials were in panic, high profile politician demanded refuge in bunkers, urgent meetings in various sub-governments were conducted. And now, the armed forces were waking up to the reality they were slapped with today. The hall was quickly milled by the many shinobi arriving, many were unknown faces, some weren't shinobi but certain representatives. However Yakoul could distinguish the interesting faces, those that survived and confronted the menace head on. They were going to be its special little squad after all, as well as other possible potentials it pick around the Confederation to perfect its little collection. Obviously, the place was consumed by an uproar of people simply talking about their lives, but the biggest subject of concern was this event. Many speculations on the gravity of the hit, some thinking there weren't as many casualties while others exaggerated the numbers. Yakoul's ears captured it all, the endless pile of bullshit they could spew annoyed it to a severely high point. "Ahem." Coughed Yakoul through a mic is had nabbed. It was sitting on the desk at the very bottom of the lecture hall, one leg over the other as if it were going to give an unenthusiastic lecture of philosophy. Of course, many would shut up, and there were too many for it to just randomly target a victim and be all weird about it. A typical individual would understand, they were scared and felt involved, heck some wanted to feel important because they took a small part in it. But the feline didn't feel that way, it didn't give a single damn about how any of these people felt. It wanted to start this rodeo and do it pretty damn well. "Alright motherfuckers. Could you all just erm ... Shut the fuck up? Yeah, fucking thanks. Great. Can we all start to pretend like we give a shit now?" It croaked with a powerful level of snark in its tone to clearly underline just how annoyed it was to have to give a speech to these people. Taking a deep breath, it expected a little big of quiet before addressing them. "Okay. Good. So because this is protocol, any of you have some bullshit to say or ask that could be relevant and everyone will forget about a minute later? Yeah? No?"

Buy Season Pass Now! “I'm gon' fuck me some motherfuckers.” 1m75 - 72 KG At first glance, it is almost impossible to not have any preconception regarding Yakoul's normal appearance, an issue that costed the lives of many. Yakoul looks like the typical cat-human people see in various media and have bizarre fantasies about, though the reasons behind its current for are a lot less fantastic. Everyone notices the white cat ears and the long tail, which various in size for no apparent reason, and would usually dumb it down as 'too cute to be threatening'. That's until they see its teeth. Otherwise it can also alternate its cat pupils, usually forming them when in combat. They're orange regardless of the form. Now that the kitty aspects are out, the next issue is ... Well the rest. Its silhouette is completely androgynous. Somewhat curvy bottom part but facial traits that look more like a young male teen's than a female's. Its chest appears to look more like pectoral muscles than breasts. The hair style doesn't help either, being short and curly/messy. Its gender will always remain a dark enigma those in the Confederation hope to crack some day. Or not. Freaks. In terms of attire, it wields a navy blue, long sleeved shirt with golden buttons in the center. An orange pair of shorts to keep its legs warm along with long, same colored socks that nearly reach the knees. It does not wear sandals, ever, but a pair of navy blue shoes it can easily slide on its feet without having to deal with laces or velcro. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Yakoul earned the title of War hero and trump card of the Confederation's army 11 years ago because of its genius regarding the Art of War and overall capabilities in the field. A lot of it is true, as Yakoul has never backed down from a fight (doesn't mean it never lost), winning against any type of individual conceivable, whether they are intelligent, dumb, strong or frail, it always found a way. This much praise made it a main figure to the Confederation's political and social life, despite all of it being based on prestige told by the Confederation itself. Many know of how ruthless Yakoul is, breaking the 'cute cat' image it once had, but the details remain rather vague and exclusive to inner circles. In truth, although it wields the willpower and charm of an extremely successful warlord, it is undeniably an unpredictable force of malice no one other than the top ruler of the Confederation has managed to tame. It holds the nickname of monster for a reason for anyone who has actively been an obstacle to the feline has lived the merciless and downright cruel fury of the beast. Only through tactical advantage does it show mercy, otherwise it has no qualms in exposing its perverted and sick mind to those it simply wants to rob something from. Ironically, apart from war, it is an individual completely absent of common sense. Mundane activities are engaged in the most eccentric and downright surreal fashion with this critter. Despite emitting one of the most foul presences in the entire world, it has a surprising way of illuminating rooms for people it shares a sense of camaraderie with to avoid getting bored. Indeed, it has a terribly thin attention span. Speaking of comrades actually, as monstrous as it may be, it built itself a rationale that gives actual human value to its close colleagues, only to use their deaths as a catalyst to fill itself with anger and many other emotions to slaughter superior enemies. Does it feel something when someone close dies? Sure, and it knows it, hence why it uses it. Keeping up with unpredictability, its behavior has been deemed so sporadic, it is impossible to truly form a friendship with it. Now the reason being that as much as it enjoys messing around when in free time or just during transition phases in a conflict, one thing will get it to laugh while another almost completely identical will earn the instigator an impromptu vasectomy. Needless to say, many have come and left Yakoul's squad not because of the intense battlefield, but by the insane moodswings. Did I mention its intuition? If it has a bad feeling about you, prepare to have a bad time. Needless to say, ti remains a really good judge of character, as would be any leader. This deserves the final paragraph and serves as a warning to everyone. Profanity is its mother tongue and has a very horrible accent when speaking. In most sentences, it will enter a pointless swear, and this increases depending on how passionate it gets. Add to that a shamelessly crude attitude and we have the most foul individual in the Confederation as one would expect. It doesn't always insert swear words, but they seem to illustrate quite well what its intentions are most of the time. 【History】 Yakoul has lived far longer than most people on this earth, all thanks to the inherited powers of its supposed 'cursed' clan. It didn't feel all that bad to it, quite the contrary, it got eternal life all to itself. The feline essentially saw history happen before it, not that it did much to actually archive it or even remember, it was just there, existing and eating whatever it attacked in a village, whether it be livestock, pet or people. Like many of its clan, it terrified the populace because of its jumps of rage and general disregard for their lives. Yeah no, Yakoul isn't this dual-personality type. It always lived as if its surges of violence were just it being in a bad mood rather than lack of control. Decades went on and it would only be when encountering a group a very strange looking individuals, nothing like those annoying shinobi that were sometimes a little too hard to kill. They were strong, but also quite tasty looking, and Yakoul liked that a lot. Wanting a piece of these people, its blood would quickly be rust to the blades of the leader's right hand. The animal didn't beg for mercy, but rather stared at the dominant being of the group, fantasizing on how it would have been great to have that body all to itself in its cavern. It was not because of its potential that it was spared, however, but because of its amusing appearance. The monster that would eventually be one of the pivotal figures in the war was recruited for looking somewhat like a cat. Well, "recruited", it served as decor for the leader's luxurious tastes. It wouldn't be until the first days of war that Yakoul would prove its worth as more than just a soldier. At first, it was simply sent on small missions due to its enhanced senses and general aggressiveness toward foes. It didn't mind, it had free food and could rip anything to shreds when asked. Doing dirty work was just a small repayment. Its talents as a war leader flourished when confronted to its first ambush. Somewhat devoid of extreme intelligence, it mixed what it learned through living so long and instinct to divide strategies to minimize losses. Though this time it was actual comrades and not food something it would protect in some cave or stolen house. Few casualties and a need to make a profanity filled speech to pump its men, Yakoul was given the title of General. Why? Because the leader could, not that it really earned it or anything. It just made its superior happy and proved its worth. Many events during the war were under its leadership, and generally it kept the upper hand and quickly understood the art of war. One could say it was more or less its destiny to hold such a position as it lived in relatively poor countries where small conflicts were rampant and only through strategy was survival possible. What would mark Yakoul as a war hero would be how it led its men to the doors of Konoha and in three days time, murdered with its bare hands the leader of the 11th Corp, the equivalent of Root at the time. Fujitora Choko was killed, and Ayame Choko, the Hokage, would have the same visit by Yakoul. Many speculate that Ayame was never there to begin with, but soldiers attest that Yakoul had killed her as well. Of course, victors are the ones who write history, so even knows if this whole damn history section is legit and not me making a BS Shyamalan on you? Thought so. After the war, Yakoul's been ... Quiet. Simply because the Red Sages have been too sporadic for it to actually care enough. It is mostly seen in public events with its master or simply to keep itself entertained. 【Family ties】 It doesn't have any known relatives. Unless you count every stray cat in the world. The Great President \| Master and Pet \| N/A - Amegakure Capital 【Dreams and fears】 Yakoul dreams to simply do whatever it wants the next day. As of now, it fights for its master in a more zealous manner than anything. But if its superior were to die, it could very well change its passion on a whim. As of now, it simply wanted to endlessly fight the rebels, over and over, and hopefully even die a horrible death at their hands. Not that it actively tries to die, it's simply a fantasy. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Swift and deadly. Yakoul's fight have often been rather quick, or at least when it decides to go on the offensive anyway. Most of the time it falls on taunts and easily evades and/or blocks strikes it can see coming beforehand. Easily finding the flaws in the techniques employed by the opposition, when confident enough it can end it, Yakoul will strike where it hurts the most. This of course depends on the caliber of the opponent, as those who prove to be a lot more keen on their moves will force the beast to actually prod something out of them with actual violence. When in its lethal mindset, it greatly utilizes its strong tail as a third member to gain an easy advantage on the enemy, as well as keep many of its abilities a 'surprise' for the enemy to discover. Because of this, it prioritizes close quarters combat 3/4 times, especially considering its Jutsu pool. The issue with it fighting longer and longer, however, is that it slowly loses patience and lets its more berserk state take hold, pushing Yakoul to lose a decent thought process out of anger and sheer brutality. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Juugo's Clan Kekkei Genkai Description: Many consider this Kekkei Genkai as the cheap counterpart of the Sage mode. Yakoul would of course strongly disagree. To start off with the basics, this KG enables the wielder to passively absorb Senjutsu Chakra (Natural Energy) all the time, leaving it with some pretty gargantuan chakra pools. The effects can often be dumbed down to bursts of anger and berserk states, but Yakoul has since grown accustomed to it. However, bien exposed to it for so long, it has developed animal-like traits similar to beings untrained in Sage Art that have absorbed too much Senjutsu chakra. In this case, it acquired feline traits. It is also the cause of Yakoul's massive longevity and seemingly eternal youth. Because it is mostly under control, Yakoul can freely manipulate its own body and expose select parts to 'curse' with his Sage Transformation. Essentially, it can manipulate the form of its body, sprout wings or grow axe blades on its forearms. The possibilities are massive, as long as they aren't too exaggerated. Chakra cannons are also a dominant trait in the Sage Transformation. Generally users of this KG can tank massive blows that prowl through their flesh and pierce their members without an issue as seen when Juugo not only had a massive hole in his arm but also his chest and recovered without an issue. However the more this ability is used, the less coherent the thought process Yakoul's approaches will be. As much as it is used to it, it will eventually lose grip and wildly attack anything if battles push it too far. Withering down Yakoul's endurance makes it the best tactic to make it a lot more dangerous and violent, but also more predictable and easily deceived. Strengths: The KG offers overwhelmingly high amounts of chakra as well as access to natural energy. Naturally users have immense strength, which only increases when enhancing certain parts of their bodies (easily rivals CES). Resilience and a particularly versatile movepool are probably the biggest strengths in there. The added bulk of the sage transformation can be compensated with the chakra jets. Weaknesses: Surprisingly has few, but the lack of control through continuous use is rather exploitable. When transformed, whether it is berserk or not, the moves appear to be more predictable and easy to anticipate, in exchange for simply more destructive power. 【Ninja techniques】 S rank techniques: 1 Compulsory Subjugation A rank techniques: 3 My Favorite Cancer Perfect Symbiosis Enhanced Scales B rank techniques: 4 Super Mega Ultra Go to Hell Cannons Fire Cannon Dash Genjutsu: Cat and Mouse Suffocating Haze C rank techniques: 5 Up yours: Style One Swiisssshhhhh Shotgun Special Lil' Sluggers Regeneration Absorption D-E rank techniques: 3 Hiding in Surface Technique Overwhelming Killing Intent Yakoul's Juinjutsu 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: I'm just fucking better than you! (Also known as Compulsory Subjugation) Rank: S Range: 0 - 50m Description: As Yakoul's Trump card, Compulsory Subjugation is a tool it prefers to use in very specific scenarios and often saves it as a 'Grand Finale' for people like Souji Tametomo. It manifests itself in three tentacle-like appendages emerging from Yakoul's spine with only the tips being of a completely black color, the rest remaining beige/gray like the typical KG transformation. They all hold tremendous strength with the capability of slapping away boulders with one alone and they can strength up to 50 meters. Though as strong as they may be, they remain easy to cut like flesh and inflict gargantuan pain to Yakoul when cut, and even more when being reattached or regenerating, thus forcing its stamina to plummet. But its greatest strength doesn't lie there. The tips are where the ability shines. They are ridiculously sharp, but can still be blocked by robust defenses. Of course once they manage to actually inflict damage, here the fun begins. If one were to be simply scratched by the tentacle, they could have a small piece of Yakoul's flesh in them, not big enough to be game breaking, but enough to bond with their flesh and bone of the area. A large amount of pain occurs as the incompatible flesh acts like a cancer and forces the muscles to tense and twist on each other. If done on an arm or leg, the bones would easily snap and rend the member worthless but it would end there (except for the pain), while if on the body, the organs run the risk of being completely ripped to shreds. The solution is simple, stab the area that was cut, the bleeding will cause a lot of the Sage Transformation flesh to ooze out. The blood loss won't be enough to kill but will render largely ineffective. That's if they can close the wound. If the tentacle is stabbed, however. Everything changes. Large amounts of Yakoul's own flesh is injected in the body, ripping apart muscles and bones as they go, essentially making it a game over unless a third party severs the appendage before it can completely possess the body. Immediate medical treatment can held control this, though the victim is decommissioned. If Yakoul possesses the individual entirely and destroys them from the inside out, they will evidently die. But only to revive as a mindless beast under Yakoul's command, like a pet. They would be possessed by the Sage Transformation entirely, looking exactly like the second stage transformation. They can use the same abilities they once had, barring tactics. The only escape would be death, unless some miracle doctor finds a cure. cough Jutsu name: My Favorite Cancer Rank: A Range: N/A Description: Similar to the Fission Technique, the function is similar, however it is interconnected with the Sage Kekkei Genkai. Essentially Yakoul splits itself physically to produce two teen-like Yakoul. I can go up two four with small kid versions. They are generally physically weaker as they go along and divide, as well as simply having weaker abilities (And the S rank Technique sealed). However they are capable of gathering natural energy individually and slowly grow. When divided by two, about 5 posts are needed for both Yakoul to be fully grown, 8 (4 to be teen sized) for the smaller one. When destroyed, they turn into puddles of flesh that glues itself back into a fission clone, giving back the chakra. When split they can't have more chakra than the average individual unlike a full Yakoul who can have an overwhelmingly high surplus. After 5 posts where they're fully grown, they're forced back into one Yakoul as the technique expires. Jutsu name: Perfect Symbiosis, Bitch. Rank: A Range: 150 KM Description: One could call this an extremely advanced version of sensory, but it really is a mastery of Senjutsu chakra to the extent where someone incapable of being a Sage could master it. Yakoul becomes 'One' spiritually with nature, which is everywhere, making it almost completely undetectable by sensors. Its chakra can be seen by Sharingan, Rinnegan and Byakugan, but locating Yakoul is extremely difficult in long distances. The only exceptions are either Sages or those with this ability (or equivalent). But this also gives a tremendous advantage in sensory skills for Yakoul. When actively using this ability, its pupils dilate like a cat's as it uses natural energy as a powerful sensory ability for both extremely long ranges and close range. When going long range, it is mostly good for finding very specific chakra signatures and presences in remote areas as well a detecting who is in what area and how many beings there are there. When in close range, it can essentially take over for sight and sound as it gives a very precise input on what approches, what form it has and how fast it is moving. Its enhanced sense of smell and hearing usually compliment the job perfectly. Jutsu name: Awesome as shit Scales Rank: A Range: Personal Description: Developed after killing Fujitora Choko, Yakoul decided to innovate a bit defensively, and thus also evolve offensively, by taking elements from the Heavenly Blood. Here, it must use Sage Transformation before this becomes possible. Yakoul is capable of having 'scales' rapidly grow on affected parts of its body by concentrating both senjutsu chakra and stamina to make them steel-hard. Indeed, it affects both the physical and chakra state of the user, making it something that can't be entirely recovered by passive natural energy absorbing. These can easily block non-enhanced weapons and take multiple hits from those. It takes stronger Ninjutsu to break through. The seconde usage it has requires a lot less stamina, almost none, but it loses all of its value. Using a bit of wind chakra on its pores, Yakoul can simply fire these scales in large waves like large, diamond-shaped kunai in a direction it chooses without actually moving. Being made of chakra they have higher piercing capability, but they are somewhat slower and more predictable than the ninja tools. Their strength mostly lie on the being ejected from anywhere at anytime. Jutsu name: Fire Cannon Dash Rank: B Range: 30m - 100m Description: A simple technique that utilises both Fire release and the Juugo clan's cannons. In this technique they're generally on the back and the elbows and take en entire post to charge with heat. Yakoul can still do whatever during that post except for cannon usage, but the increase in energy is very apparent. In the next post it can choose to either keep the cannons red hot for up to three turns before releasing the technique, and during that wait it can use cannon abilities but with a 50% penalty in power. When it it used however, Yakoul can travel between 30m to 100m in speeds that rival even body flicker, all the while being in control of its body. However it can only travel in a straight line, making somewhat predictable the first go, but extremely lethal if not ready. Jutsu name: Genjutsu: Cat and Mouse Rank: B Range: Sight and Sound Description: Yakoul's only real Genjutsu other than the basic stuff, which uses both visual and sound queues to make it exceptionally difficult to pinpoint. Here it will sway its tail from left to right while applying it, those who simply look at Yakoul will see the tail move regardless if they focus on it. The Yin chakra already has its effect and simply needs an activation. The sound required is a simply crack of its jaw, something it does all too often in a fight, whether it applies it or not. Breaking free is the typical methods, but it doesn't make one immune to it. The effects are simple, once affected, the perception of the victim is severely flawed. They will feel as though they are seeing through the eyes of a mouse, or any small critter really and the whole environment, including Yakoul is giant. As such, all they would see would be a giant Yakoul attacking them, its massive movements easily covering their whole line of sight and making it horribly tedious to predict anything. Jutsu name: Suffocating Haze Rank: B Range: Description: Fusing Wind and Fire chakra, steam-like incense that covers a large amount of ground with Yakoul being the center of it all. When using this ability Yakoul cannot utilise its other cannon abilities. The effects are simple, it imposes a powerful heatwave in the whole field and a bit beyond really quickly with a slight haze to make visibility harder for others. Plants, even trees, die in the first seconds of the technique drying up almost anything, the insects follow shortly after and animals feel extremely dehydrated. Bigger summons also feel the huge toll as their big bodies are confiscated of a large amount of water, making them just as susceptible. Trained shinobi can withstand it easily, other lifeforms not so much. Water techniques suffer the most from it, bring mostly dried up and losing most of their strength. Lightning, because of wind chakra infused, become a little weaker but mostly inaccurate in both targeting and usage (chakra control is simply harder). Wind Techniques suffer a similar effect to Lightning, being eaten up by the fire aspect. Earth suffers more slowly, drying up and losing solidity eventually. Only Fire techniques are enhanced here to Yakoul's advantage. Lasts for five posts, cool down for five as well. Jutsu name: Shotgun Special Rank: C Range: Close, extends to about 10m Description: A wind based ability that is mostly non-lethal (unless you suck) which consists in releasing strong air pressure from the cannons protuding from Yakoul's body. The released pressure acts like a shotgun shell, extremely strong push back when in point black, but loses it strength as it goes along. The effect of distance really depends on the individual strength of each, but it's generally meant to keep people away in a pinch. Also useful to eject oneself really quickly into the air or to a direction. Jutsu name: Lil' Sluggers Rank: C Range: N/A Description: Yakoul uses a much weaker version of the Fission technique, letting a bit of its flesh drop on the ground and ignite thanks to fire chakra. It quickly hoards natural energy to grow into a child-sized humanoid golem, similar to Deidara's puppets, as they start charging in at whatever Yakoul wants gone. They can morph their limbs and bodies to an extent, forming blades and bizarre/flexible shapes. They're slow and somewhat predictable, but damaging them will result in more of them coming back. It is being completely destroying them into sufficiently small pierces that the flames covering them overpowers their regeneration and they just die. They're more of a very annoying distraction than anything. Jutsu name: Delicious Grub Rank: C Range: Close Description: This deserves some explaining. In a large battlefield full of NPC's, this technique essentially allows Yakoul to recover from non-fatal injuries easily as it barely requires any chakra and simply uses to heal its damaged body. So some specifications are needed. In order to fully absorb a body and heal major wounds it needs to be immobile for two posts, as in it can't move from that point, but can still use jutsu and so on to defend itself. Jutsu name: Overwhelming Killing Intent Rank: D Range: Up to 5 KM Description: Yakoul's aura is so foul and its chakra levels massive enough to have nearby individuals actually feel the pressure of its bloodlust on their shoulders. Only the strongest shinobi around will not fear a tint of fear as their natural instincts would force them to have when confronted to such a deadly predator. It is capable of using it from pretty big distances when it is stalking certain individuals to put them on their guard all the while destabilizing them. Jutsu name: Yakoul's Seal of Approval Rank: N/A Range: Personal Description: Almost exactly like Orochimaru's Curse Seal since it did come from the Kekkei Genkai after all. The Confederation saw great potential in this and made it possible for Yakoul to impose Juinjutsu on certain victims and disobedient followers. It doesn't spread it like free candy however, as it is also a source of power that could easily push unworthy individuals into berserk-like states and be an issue to society. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Tease Weapon, tool or object type: Claw Rings Description: A set of Claw Rings worn in every finger except the thumbs. Why? Because they're freaking cool. Also they're specially designed to have wind chakra channel out of the pointed blade form 30 cm air claws. They're hard to see at first glance and cut like any chakra enhanced blade (because its chakra yah). Weapon, tool or object name: Ninjato Weapon, tool or object type: Just a Ninjato Description: Just a Ninjato is carrier around for no reason. Weapon, tool or object name: Awesome clothes Weapon, tool or object type: Clothes Description: It always wears the same clothes, and they can survive being burnt and its super transformations. They don't protect from damage, they just prevent you from seeing Yakoul naked. “By the honor of the Tametomo, I will fight to the death for all our freedoms.” 1m83 - 88 kg A rather tall lad with a well built body, Arima does have the looks on his side. Not the most attractive but that isn't his only asset. With black, almond shaped eyes and straight black hair, some would expect him to be some Uchiha rather than related to the Red Sages leaders. Not so broad shoulders but evidently trained arms and dexterous hands. In terms of attire, he takes whatever he needs to blend in, but often sticks to the Confederation uniform to keep as inconspicuous as possible as a shinobi. He's always seen wearing black combat gloves alone with these odd navy blue boots he wears instead of the common sandals. He's also fond of cloaks when executing covert operations despite having a mask at his disposal, he just likes it. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Arima Shuu - Tametomo 【Alias】 The Rising Sage The Great Red Sage's Cousin The Pussy 【Affiliation】 The Red Sages 【Age】 17 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Straight 【Birthplace】 Amegakure 【Bloodline】 Tametomo's Shuu branch 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 A pretty boy with a status that easily earns him social recognition. Arima doesn't mind utilizing the Tametomo name when in rebel grounds to pride himself over his lineage, something that does get him some female attention. Quite the hotshot and showoff with his rather advanced techniques he dedicates to his own clan, one could say he's the type of popular kid that everybody knows whether they like it or not. In the midst of his demonstrations and indulging himself in praises, he simply loves to maintain a cold and distant attitude, to play the 'mysterious' guy while saying encouraging phrases regarding honor and all that jazz. What most don't see however is that he is far under the expectations of the usual Tametomo, he's a pushover. Souji was quite the thing at his age and that's not even mentioning Tarara, both his cousins. He's very aware of this, as are some of his closer colleagues. He's aware that he neither has their skill nor inherited traits to make him as grandiose as they are. But instead of accepting himself, he remains deluded when facing the crowd of peers that stand in awe when he does anything really. At least this works with the newbies. While insecure, he's also somewhat of a coward, having barely ever been in the battlefield and lied more than once about his experiences. The scar on his lip is the one his family laughs about the most. As much as he may seem confident when playing a facade, he is devoid of any authority and presence. This is particularly true when he's into a girl that doesn't send back the feelings. He's hopeless and stammering. And the more he feels emotionally cornered like this, the easier it is for people to call him out on his bullshit. 【History】 Born six years prior to the massive world war, Arima lived a peaceful life before and after the events really. His family was largely protected by the heads of the rebelling force against the mighty crusading army. It was around age 8 that he developed this idea that he was part of a big family, like the Uchiha or the Kazekage lineage. That he was destined to help this world too by leading it to safety with the Red Sages. Becoming a shinobi thus became a thing, but he was quickly disillusioned when he realized it was rather tough. He put hi spirit in it sure, but often got discouraged when more talent prodigies bested him in almost every field. Nonetheless, this sense of pride remained strong, and while he was named Shuu and Tametomo was a pariah name, he knew that among the inner circles of his family he was seen as special because of this. Becoming a chuunin was a rather average experience for him, he always blamed his teammates for his shortcomings and hardly passed the exams needed. Nonetheless, he made it, and quickly backed out of as many Confederation activities as he could. He was entirely dedicated to the Red Sages and would demand to be trained under their own men rather than by the typical government bound shinobi. Eventually he'd be recognized capable of conducting covert operations, and in his first he was paired with an experience Jonin. The goal was simple, find and infiltrate a simple weapons barrack and set it to blow up. When Arima would tell this tale of course, it was one of the main secret warehouses for quality weapons manufacturing among other things. He didn't lie that the operation was successful however, and exaggerated the few patrols confused and searching around the area with multiple special Ops pursuing them through the border. But hey, details. Oh and yes, that's where he got his scar. The special ops offered a great version of this story, but the thing was that they had to stop their trip for a rest, and who said rest also said snack break. Being the idiot that he is, he tried to open the sealed can with his teeth since most of their tools were left behind to hide evidence. A beautifully vertical and bloody cut on his lip. Well at least the lid was silver like the blade of those commando ninjas. Nowadays he tells this tale, and many believe him due to mostly his status and the fact that despite not being on par, he is a pretty good shinobi who ca handle his own. Some of his teammates were still tipped off about the real events and see right through his make believe, but even while knowing that he tries to stick with the fake alternative to make himself feel better about ... Things. 【Family ties】 Being raised within a branch of the Tametomo, he's known to be related to the two great leaders of The Red Sages. Both his parents are alive and well and he has no siblings. They go under the surname Shuu to avoid any attention from the Confederation. Toroi Shuu \| Father \| 49, Amegakure, Former Chuunin and now door to door salesman Kurona Shuu \| Mother \| 37, Amegakure, Chuunin under the Confederation, serving as a mole for The Red Sages Souji Tametomo \| Cousin \| 27, N/A, Leader of The Red Sages, 1st Degree cousin with Kurona Shuu Chieko Honma \| Friend \| 15, Konoha, Member and colleague in The Red Sages, He hopelessly has a crush on her and they've been partnered before (strong synergy as they both use lightning) 【Dreams and fears】 He dreams of actually reaching the level of his cousins and maybe one day be worthy of carrying on at least some of The Red Sage's legacy. He's absolutely scared of his current condition, of not being good enough for any of this. He also fears the intense battlefield, the inevitable possibility that he'll die. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Obviously oriented toward a style of kickboxing, focusing primarily on the electrical nature of his boots to channel ninjutsu. He is rather speedy in his methods, going for quick hit and run strikes when he sees the opportunity, sometimes even being quite impulsive. He has a hard time making a decent strategy when under pressure, but when he has one, it's sure to make some heads burn. He often attempts to lands as quickly as possible a finisher move even if it wouldn't be the wisest thing to do. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Nope, All skill. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Cosmos Finale: Electrovoid B rank techniques: Shadow Clone Technique Tametomo Cosmos Style: Guillotine Wave Tametomo Cosmos Style: Storm C rank techniques: Lightning Release: Lightning Beast Tracking Fang Cosmos Style: Z-line Cosmos Style: Thunderball Cosmos Style: Hard Counter D-E rank techniques: Demonic Illusion: Lightning Flash Pillar 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Cosmos Finale: Electrovoid Rank: A Range: Contact Description: This time a strange, yellow lightning it focused on both Glorious Cosmos as if Arima was charging an attack. As usual, he attempts to strike down the enemy, whether they dodge or block, it doesn't matter. The energy is suddenly released and manifests itself as a bolt of lightning traveling randomly in a small radius. A wind attack or an explosion would quickly dispel it. However, if it were to hit a chakra entity other than its maker, it would disperse and be absorbed by their body. The victim won't feel any pain, actually, they won't feel anything at all. If this bolt manages to hit someone, they will be completely robbed of their sense of touch as their spinal cord and brain were struck in a specific manner. They will not feel themselves standing, making them lose all sense of balance, their members will move oddly whenever they're not directly looking at them. They won't feel themselves throwing the command to move and as such they can't know if their movements are coherent enough to make a simple gait. The effects last for three posts before the sense is regained, though even the most trained are barely efficient after this. Jutsu name: Tametomo Cosmos Style: Guillotine Wave Rank: B Range: Contact + 50m Description: Inspired by the famous Raikage Guillotine Drop, Arima charges a large amount of chakra on one of the Glorious Cosmos, making it flash in blinding bright blue. All he has to do is simply crash in a powerful downward kick, not necessarily like the Guillotine drop, but it needs to be well placed. The impact would be akin to a full powered chakra enhanced strength hit, causing a massive shockwave of electricity that would shock anyone in a 50m radius, though only slight burns and movement slowing would occur, the pushback however would be fierce. Those hit, whether directly or blocked, will inevitably suffer a large amount of lightning chakra striking them in all directions. This makes for really powerful finisher. The chakra taxing is immense, making it only possible to use twice in a fight as of now with a risk of damaging his leg. Jutsu name: Tametomor Cosmos Style: Storm Rank: B Range: 30 meter radius Description: By kicking a wave of about twenty Thunderballs in the air, they all stand at a halt around the field like a dome of some kind, endlessly spinning around as if Arima manipulated them. They can be popped, but exploding one won't cause a chain reaction strangely enough. Under Arima's command, they will suddenly stop and rush in to converge at a targeted spot. It isn't too difficult to notice them striking and to evade them, however if one were to take a hit, the explosion will be particularly deadly in the epicenter, usually leading to death or knock out. Within the radius, major burns can still occur as well as electrical sparks running through the body to immobilize and/or cripple movement for a short period of time. Jutsu name: Cosmos Style: Z-line Rank: C Range: Up to 50 meters in the air and down under Description: A somewhat more complicated techniques. Lightning chakra is focused on the Glorious Cosmos as Arima uses either the Ice Skates or Rollers mode. The start to flash a brighter blue as he traverses a specific trajectory, leaving a black line on the ground he came in contact with (even water). He can make one as long as 50 meters. The thing is, this line is charged with lightning chakra, and any large entity of chakra crossing it will have all the lightning stored in them zapped into them, like an electric wall. The effects are nasty burns and short term immobility. To avoid it, one must get over 50 meters over the line or 50 meters below. Jutsu name: Cosmos Style: Thunderball Rank: C Range: 0 - 150 m Description: A very simple technique that involves Arima making a simple kick, whether forward, upward, to the side, it doesn't matter. What occurs is that by molding a tiny bit of chakra in the Glorious Cosmos, he is capable of releasing a speeding ball of blue lightning the size of a basketball at the direction he kicked, going as fast as a shuriken. When hitting something, it will explode in an explosion comparable to an explosive tag but with the affect effect of electricity that can leave paralyzed for a short time and leave extra burns. They can easily be dispelled with a projectile. Jutsu name: Cosmos Style: Hard Counter Rank: C Range: Contact Description: A simple technique that involves Arima performing a perfectly timed kick on an electric attack, whether it is chakra or other. By perfectly intercepting the electricity, the Glorious Cosmos is capable of sucking out the bolt. However, this can only work if the attack is focused in one point that isn't too big and doesn't still hit Arima. Secondly, it can't be too strong, so B rank and under only can be drained. It fills in the battery, and in return restores a little bit of chakra. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Glorious Cosmos Weapon, tool or object type: A pair of enhanced combat Boots Description: A pair of navy blue boots that look completely ordinary at first glance, reaching up to about his knees. Whens responding to Arima's chakra, they get covered in a sky blue aura with electrical sparks visible from time to time. Once active, the Glorious Cosmos become enhanced by stockpiled chakra, making them as hard as chakra enhanced steel, thus more than capable of countering most weapons. This 'chakra' that is stored inside each piece is actually dependent of an individual battery in each filled with lightning chakra, but it can also be charged with normal forms of electricity. Now don't go think he can sponge lightning, not quite, but it can accumulate energy gathered through movement of any kind. The aura surrounded can thus continuously replenish itself thanks to movement, and as such can also deliver rather nasty blows too. The electric aura will defuse visible shocks of electricity, although not all that dangerous, they can leave burns and even cause violent muscle spasms if hit in areas near the heart and lungs. The Glorious Cosmos are capable of switching into different 'modes', going to rollers blades and ice skates for greatly enhanced mobility. Needless to say he's faster than the average shinobi run with this. As such Arima can easily use the ice skates to utilise them them as lethal blades when going close and personal. “Ladies and Gentlemen, and everything in Between!” 1m51 - 40 Kg With adulthood, Aoi had her look adapt to her new circumstances, giving a lot less of a child-like impression and one more akin to a woman thriving in her life. To start off, she dedicated her look to her usage name she employs in her job by dyeing her hair sky blue, going along perfectly with her naturally blue colored, dazzling eyes. The way she styles her hair varies depending on trends and demands from her current position, as of now she keeps the look on the picture as it is Myaka Shouho's main hairstyle these days. Untied they reach the middle of her back. She appears to be rather well pampered with quality makeup on during any of her outings and attires that are mostly seen on big shot magazines. Quite often with eye capturing colors, she purposely takes a more flashy appearance to please the demand of her viewers and accomplish her daily motives within the Confederation's News Network and Public Relations. In more casual circumstances where she either doesn't want to be recognized or is fighting, she's wearing a pair of high-heeled white boots, black jeans with a combat bet containing multiple small pouches, a black tank top and a white jacket over it. Her stature is rather small, but only 151 cm in height and rather light, she doesn't bode the muscle mass of many of her shinobi peers, but such bulk would only trample on her style. Her petite silhouette does demonstrate minuscule levels of strength, but her body is rightly trained in the art of gymnastics and flexibility. A malleable body that can adapt to many situations and adopt techniques a lot easier than one geared to toning muscle. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Once a bubbly airhead, Aoi had since matured a whole lot since the war, becoming a lot more conscious of what she says and how she behaves around people. That said, she is a very illuminating and energetic presence, absolutely impossible to miss within a crowd or an occupied room. She still oozes positive aura despite what happened in Konoha 11 years back, searching for ways to make the situation better for everyone. While still having a need to be the center of everything, she did learn to let her attention gobbling and egocentric desires a rest. Nonetheless, she doesn't mind discussing various things she's achieved and something cut people off to express her sometimes misinformed opinion. She means well, but Aoi isn't one to be completely self-conscious either. Because of this, she can't be a social butterfly, but her powerful presence makes for unique charm and charisma to both sexes and her eloquence as a performer allowed her to gain access to positions that were only available in her dreams. Even things she doesn't quite understand, at all, she can make them convincing enough with the right look and her way of expressing it. A crowd pleaser for sure, all this attention and success have gone up to her behavior however. Now a seductress of the highest caliber, she doesn't mind dressing sexy to seduce those of the fairer sex she deems attractive. In spite of this, she's truly looking for someone she could end up with but fails to produce the exact result her now complex mind expects. The biggest enigma about Aoi would be her her brains, her intelligence. Although brainy with random trivia, she isn't the brightest one of the bunch that's for sure. Her vocabulary isn't too large and sometimes says things she just doesn't know the definition of. She's also ignorant when it comes to understanding more complex issues linked together and has trouble associating ideas, in a sense she isn't the most logical person either. This however comes into question when she clearly demonstrates creativity that surpasses a lot of conditioned shinobi. In the field, she is particularly efficient, at the level of her Prodigy counterpart Yamato, with usually very crafty and deceptive tactics used to finish off any type of foe. She doesn't outsmart them, but she pulls off the most unexpected of things while holding a large amount of skill. Despite this, Aoi is something that is easily influenced and holds her situation dearly. Meaning she can be manipulated through things like morals and people's views on her, as yes she actually cares about what people think. She is indeed loyal to the Confederation, but it can be broken given the right initiative by the opposing forces. 【History】 Before the Hamajō reign: Like many children living in an era of poverty in smaller countries, Aoi was abandoned by her parents a few hours after her birth. Fortunately the parents didn't randomly leave her at a home but instead confided her to the renown Don Maquia troupe as they passed the country. They knew leaving an abandoned child there would motivate them to keep it, as it was how they usually made staff. And so, she was raised in a gypsy-esque environment where travelling was frequent and work was every day, no real weekend. As she grew up, Jouro Don Maquia would not cut her some slack and initiated her to the realities of labor and hardships, but she never really complained as it felt normal to her. It didn't mean she was devoid of any fun, if anything fun was something they managed to develop during work and practice for performances. Usually by mixing the two, Aoi and her closest friend Mia had fun doing their chores while doing various acrobatic acts. She was happy with what she had, and couldn't care less about her biological parents. At one point, she'd be initiated to one of the troupe's secrets, a special way to manipulate chakra without being unique. She had a strong affinity for water, being from the Rain village, and naturally developed the abilities to hide in water and rain, but she had no knowledge of chakra otherwise. The basics were learned through usual practice, walking on water impressed many civilians, so it was general practice, substitution made great magic effects, fake clones too and so on. Chakra was something that enabled great success for the troupe, however the true secret revealed to Aoi's specific affinity would be her mucus ability. With it, she'd easily impress her audience while being exceptionally flexible in most domains. Initially, it wasn't meant to be a weapon, but through creativity, she managed to defend herself from low bandits trying to rob the troupe. Eventually reaching Konoha, multiple Jounin took notice of her unique capabilities that they had never seen before and offered her the chance to become a ninja. Realizing how it would approach her to her goal, she righteously accepted and moved on as a Genin without any Academy training (she was more than capable in entry levels). The only problem would be that she'd be unable to read and write, causing problems to her superiors. Sure she managed to learn most of it, but she isn't quite efficient at it, being a slow reader and writing so poorly it's barely comprehensible. She easily learns new lingo, however. After the Hamajō reign: Many events in Konoha honed her as a shinobi, built her as a lover and ascended her as a potential star. The war swept all that away, her skills were no match, her lover drowned into despair and all she worked for was tuned into ash by this coming of a new world. Disoriented and lost, she clung onto her falling girlfriend, Akio, who took the events extremely badly. Occasional abuse in multiple ways and the general change of behavior from the older one of the couple ended up infuriating the now disillusioned Aoi and prompted her to simply abandon the wreck once and for all. She hated this new world, it changed everything, and her naive self liked how things were. Now it was all controlled and safe, no risk worthwhile or a crowd to please as everyone was too busy to recover. Or so she thought. In reality her talents were exactly what the populace needed in this time of rapid reconstruction and loss. She had lost her masters, her friends and her lover, but the Phoenix would rise from its ashes and burn brighter than ever. Making a small reputation, she'd make herself known by higher generals of the Confederation, including Ryuu and Yakoul. Though she had potential, the genius that is Ryuu saw how malleable her mind was and simply offered something she couldn't refuse. Along with Yamato, she's one of the higher shinobi in the Confederate entourage, though she also holds a prime position in the Presidents inner circle. She doesn't have a voice in the matters, but she stands as the head of public relations, the face of the Government when the President isn't the one making declarations. To add to that, she's been given the position of primary news anchor for the Government's main news channel, or at least the most popular one, and is often given the ability to host other shows sponsored by the same channel. Because of this, Aoi's become a rather relevant icon to the Confederation. At a point during her career, she chose the name Fuegushi as surname to replace her previous one as a step through grief. Indeed, upon learning the fact that her childhood troupe had been missing now for years without a trace, she finally accepted they were permanently gone. 【Family ties】 Aoi's ties are rather strange to say the least. She wasn't raised by ordinary parents, but rather grew up as a carny along with the entire Don Maquia troupe. Her relationship with them is worthy of a sibling-type relation, as they grew up with her since she was in diapers. They did not object to her ambition of becoming a famous ninja, having formed her for such usage in any case. They continue to support her through letters and regular visits at Konoha. As of now, the troupe has been missing since the end of the war, many consider them dead, including Aoi who grieved them. Jouro Don Maquia \| Adoptive Father \| 67, Missing, The leader of the Don Maquia Troupe, regarded as the father of every member, he is highly respected and no one dares to question his authority. Mia Don Maquia \| Spiritual Sister \| 28, Missing, A professional acrobat in the troupe, she was Aoi's best friend and closest 'sister'. Bo Don Maquia \| Spiritual Uncle \| 55, Missing, The lion tamer of the troupe, he often took care of Aoi when she had fallen ill or when Jouro wasn't around. Guru \| Pet \| 19, In Aoi's big house, Aoi's attributed animal she had to raise. It is an elephant she often uses in her performances in the troupe. Akio Tendou \| Ex-Lover \| 29, Not here, Aoi's first girlfriend after changing her love interest paradigm. The relationship ended little after the end of the war as Aoi was simply fed up with her bullshit. 【Dreams and fears】 Having achieved her first goal of being a renown figure in not only a big village, but now the whole world, she only dreams of creating new and exciting things for the world to see. She tries her best to have people see the bright side of this world, to keep it intact. She fears losing this imperfect world and falling into the oubliette, or worst yet being seen as a devil for supporting a state that people were, for some reason, fed up with. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Sporadic and relying a lot of deceit to defeat her foes with grace. Aoi holds the idea of making her fights a spectacle, a show to be enjoyed, as such her fighting style has new been geared to manipulate the way they perceive things while making it a powerful experience for everything, whether it is good or bad. She uses her creative skills to have Genjutsu applied in the most unsuspecting of ways and circumstances, making her almost unbelievably difficult to reach at times. She enjoys employing her Hiden since it is her only ninjutsu weapon and often times only solely rely on it when going on the offensive. This isn't to be confused with the idea that she is a potent fighter up close. Though she prefers mid rage considering none of her abilities are efficient at long range and her small frame makes her vulnerable to close quarters, she is very well versed in taijutsu as a former circus clown and performer. Agile and swift with reflexes typical of an expert in the senses, she easily uses her martial arts skills to use the enemy's strength against them and lay them flat quickly. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Mucus Surprise Description: Although not a true bloodline limit, very few in the world are able to master this ability. Essentially it requires initiation from birth and at least an affinity to water, thus it can be classed as a form of Hiden. Rare societies such as the Don Maquia troupe have maintained its secrets. Basically, it enables the wielder to turn their chakra into different form of oozing mucus that can take the form of different imagined objects and have the properties of things such as rubber or gum. The possibilities are quite huge but the product coming from it is thick liquid-like substance that almost always sticks. Strengths: Generally it keeps the properties of rubber and gum, making it not only dangerously adhesive but strongly resistant to kinetic force coming from blunt strikes. When used as a medium to trap others, it is surprisingly lethal and effective. Strongly resistant to burns as it is originally made of water, conducts electricity poorly due to composition however. Weaknesses: Generally easy to cut through depending on the mass and density, which only require extra strength put into cuts. Those with superior physical strength can resist the stickiness to a great extent, even break it under conditions. 【Ninja techniques】 S rank techniques: Super Mega Magician's Secret! (May or may not have one. Will have it validated when I decide to give her one. Because I won't be using her as a PVP character yet, it isn't a big deal. I mostly want to introduce her.) A rank techniques: 3 Gooey Bungee! Jellyfish Sting! Mumbo Jumbo! B rank techniques: 4 Mister Spodes! Gooey Replica Mirrored Bizarro! Dance of the gallant C rank techniques: 4 Water Release: Starch Syrup Capturing Field Freeze Snap! Gooey Surprise! Snot Bubble! D-E rank techniques: 3 Water Release: Hiding in Water Technique Water Release: Hiding in Rain Technique Demonic Illusion: Double False Surroundings Technique *Basic Jutsu 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Gooey Bungee Rank: A Range: From 0 to 80 meters to apply it, maintained in over 200 meters Description: A transparent strand of mucus is created from her body and can be released from any point she desires. The strand itself can have one end stuck against a target she had contact with as much as she can have it latch onto something from a distance (by pointing at it or something similar). While being transparent, it has little to no texture and can barely be felt if touching the skin due to its lack of smell, taste or consistency. This mucus, however, is dangerous for many reasons. It can contract and release whenever Aoi desires (its her chakra after all), the contraction being exceptionally powerful like a form of 'super-rubber', allowing her to pull our push relatively heavy thing by simply connecting the strand to her index finger. The strength and weight of the target will determine the amount of chakra is demands for the contraction strength. She can also transfer it from her finger to say another target and have it contact, causing one or both the targets to be pulled and hit each other. She can use up to fifteen at once. They can be easily cut, however they do not vanish, making them susceptible to being reattached at any moment. Ripping it off would be logical, however if it was to contract, it would be relatively futile. On lighter objects, it can tighten itself to a point where it can act like a chakra thread, manipulating said smaller objects at will, though that doesn't mean she can be as precise as a puppet master. Jutsu name: Unexpected Reveal: Jellyfish Sting! Rank: A Range: Contact Description: A technique developed during the time when Aoi was under evaluation for "Jonin confirmation". Given the lack of examination, she was put under Katsu Hyuuga's care for testing. Forming a type of student - teacher bond, they grew accustomed to each other's abilities and were able to create this technique. Utilizing the same principles as the soft fist fighting style, Aoi either uses the tip of her fingers or the pointed knuckles of her major fingers to "spray" raw mucus chakra. Unlike Hyuuga, she cannot pinpoint it on either tenketsu or on organs to have a result, but she can have the raw chakra pierce through armor (still requires contact) and flesh and have it take solid form a second later. The result is mucus chakra clogging primarily the nervous system and somewhat of the chakra system (mostly efficient on members). If hitting an arm for instance, the nervous messages from let's say the elbow if hit there down to the hands will be blocked, essentially paralyzing the forearm. With the body, hitting the abdomen or the chest strongly reduces mobility to the point where coordination is difficult (members remain normal), the more it is hit the more one will feel exhausted. If the spine, neck or head are hit, they are instantly paralyzed. No matter where, the effects of each hit lasts for two posts. They are also very easy to counter with a strong punch considering Aoi's poor strength, making it an ability extremely efficient but ridiculously risky. The fact that it can just be substituted with a simple stab also gears this to a more non-lethal approach. Jutsu name: Mumbo Jumbo! Rank: A Range: Touch Description: Possibly the most terrifying jutsu used by Aoi and the 'magician's secret' she's never revealed to the public. This is a genjutsu that requires that her chakra enters into contact with an opponent, either via contact or through ninjutsu. With this done, the magic can begin. The victims become completely blind to Shinobi magic and are unable to see or feel Aoi's chakra, and by extension, the forms they take. Any form of ninjutsu she uses will appear strangely, but she'll often make it appear as though they're part of something else, like a trick to deceive the opponent and make them weary. Sensors can see their own chakra as well as chakra in Aoi's body, but not what comes out of it, as such they can see they're under a genjutsu, but when are they not with Aoi? Jutsu name: Mister Spodes! Rank: B Range: Can reach up to 20 meters (tentacles) Description: Using the same cloth as Abra Kadabra, Aoi twists and turns the handkerchief with blinding speed (such as a clown making a balloon animal) until it forms a hollow Octopus with a ^0^ face. It would only be when she tosses it while doing the Ram seal that it suddenly gets filled with a mass of mucus in it. It becomes about 2 feet in height and holds eight tentacles likes a regular octopus. They aren't very mobile and are generally very slow, however their tentacles extend rather quickly and can catch someone off guard. The mucus in the tentacles serves as a form of suction cup that keeps what it captures stuck in a tight bind similar to Gooey Surprise (with same limits). The Mister Spodes can easily glues themselves to the ground to prevent enemies from dragging them, essentially making them very useful seals to non-superhuman fighters. They die when their head it damaged (to the point where it leaks). Aoi can make up to four of them per fight and they can also be used as body replacement dummies. They also have a very eerie tendency to wail 'Boyoyoyoyon' quite often, no one knows how this is possible. Jutsu name: Gooey Replica! Rank: B Range: Self, Clone technique Description: Essentially shadow clone technique applied on mucus. The clones are composed of strange, green mucus and are able to move like regular people. They can also use mucus abilities with half the power of the original (in exception to techniques higher in rank than this one). When they die, they explode into a heavy mass of mucus that sticks onto anything around them, hence their use as suicide bombers to hinder the movements of an opponent. Up to seven can be made per fight. Jutsu name: Mirrored Bizarro! Rank: B Range: Smell Description: A genjutsu that depends on smell related activation. Because Aoi constantly wears a high quality Lavender perfume that ca be smelled from multiple meters away, she she exploits that fact to make it extremely hard to detect. In this circumstance, she performs a single hand seal, often doing it after doing another jutsu to make the enemy believe only one jutsu was made, but she actually makes her chakra adopt an aroma the same as her perfume. The smell is strong but hardly noticeable due to it being normal in her presence, but it deeply affects the perception of the people infected. In this case, everything they perceive will be inverted in direction, left is right, up is down. They will see everything this way, but the reality of it will be the contrary. The victim can pick up on it as they can also hear the real version attacking in the opposite side (as well as sense it via chakra sensing), but the illusion remains overwhelmingly real, and without a release, their reflexes will likely make them sloppier as it would seem as though they are genuinely attacked from the illusion. Jutsu name: Dance of the gallant Rank: B Range: Sight Description: A Genjutsu that is activated whenever the patterns on her umbrella are seen as they hold a hypnotic effect combined with her chakra. The effects allow her to create a replica of herself between 0 m to 1 m away from her, no matter the side. It will mimic movements typical of Aoi, however the true Aoi is completely replaced by the false one. This is usually made to confuse close range attackers, making them think she is capable of dodging everything before taking the right opportunity to strike. This can also be used to simply confuse any form of attacker into hitting the false image while th real remains concealed. Exceptionally deadly if the genjutsu isn't noticed fast enough. The image can of course move around as long as Aoi is in the perimeter. Jutsu name: Freeze Snap! Rank: C Range: Sight - Sound Description: Aoi forms a small ball of Yin chakra and simply tosses it in the air or on the nearby ground, only to have it pop like fireworks or a firecracker. The flash is so bright, it works as a flashbang. The effects are simple, those exposed regain their sight extremely fast, the flash was barely a millisecond, but they'll feel an endless buzzing sound in their ears with nothing else and the world around them frozen in time. Everything looks like the instant before the bang went out. Evidently a Genjutsu, it is easy to notice and Kai out. Jutsu name: Gooey Surprise! Rank: C Range: Close, in person. Description: A much more developed variation of the transformation technique. Indeed, the user covers themselves with a gooey layer of mucus capable of taking different shapes and sizes, colors and textures. The mucus is highly adhesive though, enough to make it act like quicksand: The more there's resistance, the deeper it gets, though it cannot be that deep because of Aoi's thin figure. It is very useful for trapping though not too specialized in hand to hand combat. Those specialized can use their techniques to break free with relative ease, though it doesn't mean that they're immune to the immediate effects. It doesn't give immunity to heat either, though it does slightly reduce overall damage, along with any other type of damage really. Jutsu name: Snot danger parade! Rank: C Range: Varies, close to medium usually. Description: By either using a specific hand sign or inhaling things like pepper, Aoi sneezes large mucus bubbles capable of swallowing more than one individual. The larger that it can get would be as large as a horse. Those trapped inside can easily pop it, however it would result in the bubble imploding, not only causing strong pressure to hit their bodies, rendering most to a rather confused and head aching state, while being covering in dense mucus stuck on the ground. This also causes smaller, human size bubbles to take shape. If the popping is made from outside, the explosion is general and hits everyone except those inside. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Fuegushi Weapon, tool or object type: Umbrella Description: A strange, light blue umbrella Aoi carries around with her. It appears to be the type en vogue these days, but her's holds a strange butterfly-like black pattern on it which enables one of her genjutsu. The handle can be removed to revealed a concealed blade, slightly shorter than a rapier. This Umbrella is capable of releasing a powerful kinetic force at close range when opened, making it capable of repelling powerful projectiles without even a recoil when the timing is right, making some unsuspecting close rangers stumble back in surprise as well. It is chakra enhanced and its fabric is strangely durable yet thin. Weapon, tool or object name: Magic Cards Weapon, tool or object type: Cutting weapon Description: A set of playing cards forged to be as sharp as a kunai, however lighter and more malleable. They are easier to use but weak in one on one blade fights as their small weight makes them easy to break through. They are perfect for assassination and tactically placed hits, however.
51,168	1,381	75	1,221	49	Tanji Tsugiharu Central Command Stairs, Konoha Ame-Suna Border, Harvest Festival "Yep! They do, but a great clan's name isn't the only thing to make great shinobi, I'm sure," she said almost halfheartedly. Tanji chalked it up to her only trying to make him feel better, but thats fine he knew his place as a small cog in the workings of the Confederate War Machine. Tanji, shook his head listlessly as if trying to hold on to childish ideas, "That, may be true but you've got to admit, almost every great ninja was the successor of someone equally as great, people don't become great on moxy alone." He motioned to the Hyuga ahead of him making sure to be silent enough to not be overheard, "take him for example, even with uh-questionable- parentage the blood of his clan alone makes him great, in fact, I think under that harsh exterior of his lies a heart of gol-" Tanji was unceremoniously pushed aside, “What did you say, you fucking dipshit?”. Fortunately it wasn't directed an Tanji or the Uchiha, and instead stormed down the stairway again. The Hyuga had directed his ire upon another shinobi, this one also taking the form of the Hyuga."Has anyone else taken his appearance?", the Uchiha asked. An astute observation and a likely possibility, but just to be sure Tanji double checked his chakra to make sure he didn't have any wayward clones lying around. Fortunately he had none, unfortunately some poor sap was destined to experience a repeat of what happened just a few moment ago. Oh boy, here we go again, as the Hyuga gave a powerful overhead attack causing the ...clone? to quickly dissipate flaring up the attacker's anger once again. A few choice insults and accusations to (another) red head. Hopefully this won't be too bad this time around, surely the Hyuga has coole- A large column of dust was formed but the Hyuga just walked passed it still baring down on his target. Who promptly bowed himself into surrender. Smart man, Tanji thought. Better to have a broken spirit than a broken everything, not to say that the red-head wasn't unimpressive, just that it would have been better for all parties involved if the two not kill each other. Tanji thought about just letting the Hyuga have at it, then it occured to him, Ah, fuck what if he doesn't let this slide. That shit hurts, yo. He ran towards the Hyuga putting his hand consolingly on his shoulder, "Hey man, its uh- its not worth it you know? I mean come on he's bowing and shit, so honor and all that, right? Right?" He whispered silently to the red-head on the ground while still trying to maintain eye contact with the Hyuga, "psst pick your head up his shit hurts man, I know your into that honor shit, but I think its better to cut your losses and swallow your pride and try not to offer yourself up on a silver platter." He hoped dearly the Hyuga would see some reason, otherwise he just put himself into a very deadly personal zone of a Hyuga, and wondered why he didn't just send a clone.	“I think he's dead -er, well, everybody else think he is, but now I'm not sure.” An unassuming man by most standards, not impressive or lacking in most aspects, just simply there. Short, if a bit rustled, brown hair, with a square face free of any scars or blemishes and average everyday brown eyes, in the academy you wouldn't really notice him in the sea of exceptional talent, but he gets by.Not particularly skinny, tall, muscular, just a healthy and acceptable male in his early 20's. Probably not going to amount to much beyond being a low-tier Jonin if he's lucky. Probably. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Tanji Tsugiharu 【Alias】 The Master Coward 【Affiliation】 Confederacy 【Age】 22 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Straight 【Birthplace】 Kusagakure 【Bloodline】 The Long, and Ancient Line of Stalwart Customs House Guards, the Tanji House has protected the village from attacks from undeclared fruits, paperless neer-do-wells, and other dangers of the Border. 【Rank】 Chunin Psych. report. Tanji Tsugiharu has exhibited little to no extreme beliefs or jarring idiosyncrasies (which in itself might be one). The Confederacy has deemed him a loyal citizen of the state. He has a positive work ethic, follows rules and regulations to the letter save for the most exceptional situation (of which he has been disciplined and reprimanded as per the law). He is as kind and self-less as any bachelor of the confederacy is and is devoted to his position. 【Personality】 Rather mundane. Pleasant enough in many social interactions, and prefers to follow conversations rather than lead them himself. That said he has some good friends back in his home town and has made a decent few in his new post. Amicable to his clients, but oddly stoic and unfeeling when it comes to dealing with traitors and rebels. He prefers to spend his free time drinking with close friends in a quiet homely tavern or ramen shop, and has an odd fixation with karaoke. When off duty he spends his days with his small family back in his home town. In battle he is as serious as any good shinobi should be in those situations. He is selfless in his duty to the confederacy and has volunteered to be bait on multiple occasions on the condition that the battle ends quickly afterwards. When plans fail and battles are drawn out he doesn't panic too much, but 9 times out of 10 will opt to lead or support a withdrawal. "Live to fight another day." 【History】 Tsugiharu's parents were simple Chunin Guards with a Customs House on a major trade route, their duties were rather mundane and drool, but once in a while held excitement when travelers had disagreements with the customsofficer. The couple resided in a modest home after an unplanned pregnancy had made the two man and wife. It was tough going at first but the relative isolation and non-relevancy of the village made for a peaceful life, and they grew content and able with the new family. 14 years after the birth of their first son, and with much more financial stability the 2 deemed themselves ready for another son. The Tanji house lived peacefully for 3 more years until the dissent and turmoil of the Confederacy reached their village leading to a violent terrorist attack on the village's crossroads leading to their deaths. This left the 17 year old boy to care for his young brother, fortunately the Proprietor of the Customs House, who at that point was now an old family friend offered to shelter the 2 orphans until the 18th birthday of the elder brother who decided to not rely on the kindness of the Customs Master any longer. Such the 2 siblings lived in a shabby apartment the elder supporting the small family as a Customs House guard like his parents. He, Tanji Hamurato, would continue to support (and sometimes spoil) his younger brother as he took his own wife(Tanji Orimoto) and had a daughter (Tanji Ekka) of their own while was just starting high-school. Tsugiharu was an average student in his own right never excelling or lacking in any field or discipline. He was studious and forthwith at the academy but never went above or beyond what was required. His work as a Genin in his squad was also mundane sticking to class D and lower missions, in exception to one class C defense contract. Simply tasked with defending a local tavern from extorting thugs (non-shinobi rabble), the mission report told of the 3 genin having to deal with some thugs as the accompanying Jonin talked with the owners, but nothing really came out of it. However rumors that local gangster being rather jumpy, defensive and generally paranoid around small sounds and shadows circulated around the tavern's area. Come the Chunin exams though he displayed adept problem solving and leadership skills within his squad, but that might have just been in need rather than by ambition. He opted to remain quarrel-less and jovial with the other Genin and never really showed exceptionaltalent other than what was required to get through the trials. However it can be noted that during the elimination tournament that the young Tanji employed some rather harsh and quick measures using poisons, weapons and simple genjutsus to end matches before his opponents can truly pull out their trump cards. A good thing too, for the proctors had stated that if not for his "bag of cheap tricks" his opponents would have easily out-classed him had the fight dragged on. He was unceremoniously given the rank of Chunin, barely passing after having been defeated by the more Capable Genin that saw through his ruses in the final rounds of the tournament. After graduating opted to become a Contract work Shinobi unlike his family before him. He takes missions for the Confederacy as many times as he can, but seems to seek missions pertaining to the rooting out and apprehension of dissident and unloyal citizens and terrorists. Currently lives by himself in a modest apartment close to his work place. 【Family ties】 Lower-Middle Class, had some hardships for sure, but was never truly in danger of starving or dying of exposure. Such a life made Tsugiharu rather humble and soft-spoken. Hopes to keep up with his duties and occasionally visits his brother and his family. Tanji Hamurato \| Elder Brother \| (36), Kusagakure, Currently a guard at a customs house. Sanguine, always optimistic and smiling in many situations. Tanji Orimoto \| Sister-in-Law \| (35), Kusagakure, Housewife of Hamurato, Choleric, rather plain but has the charm of a country girl going for her. Demure and rather quiet in contrast to her husband. Tanji Ekka\| Niece \| 9, Kusagakure, Student, Mercurial, tempermental and extremely competitive. A bit of a tomboy and a much more naturally talented than her father and uncle in the academy. 【Dreams and fears】 Dreams of finally bringing the traitors and belligerents of the Confederacy to justice and hopes to finally see peace and order to the state. Fears of losing his family to the dangers that is the enemies of the Confederacy. Combat reports. Has a quite odd fighting style and might be the epitome of "work smarter not harder." Picks and chooses his engagements when he knows the enemy may be taken down quickly and with minimal loss. This usually ends up with him or a squad-mate in grievous condition so long the opponent is taken out before unnecessary damage is done to anybody else. Such operations usually include him stringing together a myriad of feints, illusions and gambits to ensure the enemy can be taken down in one decisive attack by his squad rather than prolonged engagements. This unfortunately makes him rather sub-par when caught unawares. As such he is most delegated to planned attacks on high value targets to either eliminate, apprehend or interrogate 【Fighting style】 Some might call his methods cowardice but it has kept him alive. He employs the liberal use of clones supplemented by heavy use of false sounds and images using his specialized study in illusionary genjustsu. He chips away at his opponents using small thrown weapons like shurikens and senbons to keep his opponent on edge and unfocused. While his genjutsu gives ample distractions and false visions he also uses fine rope and bells tied to said weapons to create snares and distractions for the slim but inevitable chance that his opponent finally makes a mistake. When they do he delivers a powerful and dibilitating poisons through the same methods as above when the opponent finally opens themselves up to receive his limited supply. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 NONE 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Bringer of Darkness Technique B rank techniques: Demonic Bells: Phantom Sound Chains (Uses a Network of Tuned Bells strung onto ropes to create a melody rather than a flute) Interrogation Genjutsu C rank techniques: Earth Release: Underground Projection Fish Technique. Illusion Bell Needles False Place Technique Sly Mind Affect Technique D-E rank techniques: Hell Viewing Technique Shadow Senbon Haze Clone Technique. Academy Jutsus (Substitions, transformation, clone) 【Custom made techniques】 False Sound Rank: C Range: Short - Medium (0m~10m) Description: Once someone is affected by the jutsu causes them to hear sounds under direction of the ninja that casted it. Can be dispelled as normal genjutsu can. Single target per cast (but can be casted on multiple targets). Also relies on the opponent being knowledgeable enough to make the sounds realistic (or not realistic) as possible. Jutsu name:Shadow Weapon Rank: C Short (Before throwing or using weapon): Description: Hide a small thrown weapon in the shadow of another item as it is being thrown. Not a summoned weapon, typically can be countered simply by opponent witnessing the actual weapon being thrown shortly after the concealing weapon is thrown, and dodging for 2 projectiles rather than 1. Additionally the weapon cannot transfer between shadows and becomes a normal seen projectile after the shadow is passed. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Senbon Weapon, tool or object type: Thrown Projectile Description:Small thin and light weapon the looks similar to sewing needles. No terribly damaging but can chip away at an opponent. Weapon, tool or object name: Shuriken Weapon, tool or object type: Thrown Projectile Description:Ninja stars man, common. Weapon, tool or object name: Kunei Weapon, tool or object type: Knife Description:Staple weapon of any good ninja. Weapon, tool or object name: Bells Weapon, tool or object type: Tools Description:Small bells that can be tied to throwing weapons. Weapon, tool or object name: Fine Silk Rope Weapon, tool or object type: Tool Description:Incredibly thin, almost invisible rope that is insanely durable yet flexible.
51,169	1,381	76	985	319	Nori Hisakawa Red Sages Nori didn't miss it; the Lady Commander was simply going through the motions with him. He had probably sounded like an idiot, making a big deal out of a single kekkei genkai. Plenty of them existed within the Confederation, and plenty of them existed in the Red Sages. Why would one make a huge difference, at the end of it all? Maybe it was just a good enough reason for me to escape that fight, an excuse to retreat. I shouldn't need one...it was just the rational decision. Did I just want to seem like less of a coward, compared to the Red Sages I hadn't managed to save? The ones who had fought and died in their battles? He took a moment to look over at Mikoto again, before shaking his head a little. That fight, the enemy general, this mission...the stress must be really getting to me. I should accept that I did all I could. I saved a few good men, and learned a few new things. I can't expect to look like a veteran on day one. His thoughts were shifted over to another shinobi joining up alongside himself, Seijo and Mikoto. He didn't know the man's name, but he noticed his behavior of sticking near the Lady Commander. Perhaps he felt protective of her. "I suppose it could have been worse. Mikoto here--" He had just announced his name, so Nori finally had a name to place alongside the redhead's face, "--and myself ended up in a rather one-sided fight against several Confederate shinobi that felt more competent than the majority. We survived though, so I suppose that's what counts. Yourself?" Once Yudai had responded, he turned his attention back to Seijo. "Commander Tametomo, perhaps the information is less critical than originally implied, in the grand scheme of things. I only wish to bring it up based on how it somewhat resembled your own kekkei genkai, in that an area around the user becomes extremely hazardous for another to battle in. The shinobi was surrounding himself in a fairly large pool of what appeared to be liquefied silver. Presumably, he can do whatever he pleases with it. Personally, I experienced him launching it at me as a projectile, and managing to create a makeshift fan out of it, pushing away some of the mist from the Hiding in Mist Technique. Alone, it appears to be manageable, but several of them, depending on the limits of the ability, could be extremely hazardous to deal with. In comparison, a large group of enemy shinobi with your Spore Release would be able to swarm a base, and no-one vulnerable to the technique would be able to escape." Nori took a breath once he was finished, looking ahead again. There was little more to say on the matter. If she had anything to say about it, she would probably ignore it until later. Nori was relieved to be back at base, and wasted no time in heading back to his quarters to inspect his wound and slip into something more comfortable. His mouth turned when he slipped off the chain mesh under his shirt; Higoho's palm had barely even clipped him, and he had a really nasty bruise. He poked at it gingerly, wincing a bit, but no extremely sharp pains meant he hadn't suffered any internal damage worth getting checked. At worst, he'd just have to avoid getting tickled and laughing himself into agony. He could fight just fine by now. He was already guessing that Seijo would be gathering the recruits up for some sort of meeting. A mission review, or perhaps a follow-up mission in the field. His consideration was confirmed when the announcement was handed out that everyone head to the conference room. No rest for the weary, he thought, not really sour about it. The beds were a luxury; the Red Sages could sleep when they were dead. So, he grabbed himself a half-minute shower, threw on some black slacks, a navy blue stripped button-up shirt, and his scarf. He decided to slip on his shinobi sandals instead of casual shoes, and collapsed his naginata and hung it on a cord over his shoulder, just in case something very impromptu was going on. He didn't really bother giving his hair much thought, and made his way to the meeting room. He wouldn't be late, but he wouldn't beat anyone who hadn't bothered to take a moment to clean up and had rushed their way there ASAP. When he arrived, he found himself a seat and kept quiet as Seijo asked if they had anything to report. He had already told her what he knew on the way back to base, and found himself feeling all the more foolish for it. Being on this side of the war has me feeling like a genin all over again, he thought, a little disappointed in himself for his amateur behavior. It didn't matter now. Best to just listen to what the others had to say.	“Sacrifice yourself to do one good thing, or live on to do many? Think about it.” Standing at about 5'11" and weighing in at 150~lb, Nori is tall, lean shinobi, with an air of thoughtful relaxation about him. His bluish-black hair is trimmed slightly shorter than in the picture above, keeping the bangs out of his eyes, and the length in the back about halfway down the neck. His skin is rather pale, with sharp grey eyes, and slightly pointed teeth reminiscent of the Seven Ninja Swordsman of the Mist. Attire-wise; in battle, he forgoes a flak jacket, instead settling for a chain mesh under a loose, sleeveless blue shirt, black shin-length pants, standard issue black sandals, arm-guards, and his dark blue scarf tucked into the back of his shirt; a worn Kirigakure plate is attached to the end of this. Out of battle, his attire is much more modern; while he still sticks to wearing blue out of habit, he often dresses in semi-casual suit jackets, button-up shirts, slacks, and sneakers, varying to weather and situation as necessary. The only consistency is the dark-blue scarf, kept with him regardless of occasion. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Nori is an analytical type. Even in casual conversations, he will take long periods of time to listen thoroughly to what the other(s) have to say before replying, replying only when he has found something worthwhile to say in response. He's often relaxing to be around because of this trait; you'll almost never be interrupted or ignored, and especially those needing to blow off some steam will drift to him. The responses are where that line becomes less clear-cut. His honesty in his responses, and the depth he might go to analyze a statement, can lead to starting an argument that never needed to happen, or worsening an existing one. Not everyone likes hearing the truth. He doesn't seem to regret these situations, since the problem wasn't his fault in the first place. Some people think he's arrogant because of this aloofness, and they wouldn't be wrong. He'll become frustrated if people challenge his analysis, and even moreso if he happens to have made a mistake in his interpretation of the situation in the first place. Being such a good listener though, sometimes he has trouble starting conversations, or holding them. He doesn't really have the social drive to keep up small talk for very long, and he also dislikes having to talk about himself. It takes work for him to honestly feel like opening up to anyone, and he grows extremely uncomfortable talking about himself or his past. Which leads to a conflict of interests; if he can talk to you about your problems, why can't he talk to you about his own? 【History】 Nori is the only son of his parents, a non-shinobi father and a hunter-nin mother, in the unsteady Kirigakure village. With the years preceding the era of peace from the Hamajō Confederation, his mother was hardly ever home for the boy, constantly performing missions, be they for the village, or against its defectors. No questions asked has always been the terms of the Hidden Mist though, and so he simply smiled and nodded when his father constantly praised her mother as a hero, regardless of how dirty her job was. Even when she did return though, she never doted on him, unlike how he saw other mothers do with their children. She simply enjoyed the brief tranquility that would come between her missions as much as possible, and Nori accepted the exhaustion that came with his mother, the "hero." As he grew into his Academy years, he himself trained diligently in the Academy, to become a "great hero" like his scarcely seen mother, and succeeded; he was quiet, talented, and most importantly, obedient. What he also learned however, is how to be an outcast; children in times of war are never settled, and they found every reason to question why his father wasn't a shinobi, and tease that maybe his mother wouldn't come back this time. He simply let them speak and continued his training; his father did everything he could as a parent, and his mother was a hero. He didn't have the nerve to question them early on, and didn't care once he understood later. Even after learning of just what the job of hunter-nin entailed, well, it was just another grisly duty, and he would be more than willing to follow his mother's footsteps in that role. And then, during his graduating year at the Academy, the war hit a terrifying peak for Kirigakure--the destruction of the village. People scattered. Most died. Nori and his family were of the lucky ones; they managed to get out before the devastation, finding themselves heading north across the water to the Land of Lightning, and the new Kumo Province. For a long time, neither of them knew where his mother was. His father took up the task of farming, struggling to get by in the lackluster area. Nori didn't know what to do. He had been following in his mother's footsteps, but how could he join a military that let their home be destroyed and separated him from his "hero?" His decision would be solidified several years later, after the Hamajō Confederation had settled in. After the destruction of Kirigakure, his mother had been lost. She didn't know what had happened to her family. She thought them likely dead, herself being another lucky one, sent over to the Land of Fire on her most recent task. The loss of home, the loss of family...she ended up with some of the scattered armies, and eventually decided that she would fight against the power that couldn't protect her anymore; she joined the would-be Red Sages, and eventually got herself killed for it. Family connections were made. The Confederation came to his father's farm, looking for intel on the Red Sages. Neither of them knew anything about what had happened after Kirigakure, and after some extremely stern interrogation, decided that refugees fled to Kumo wouldn't know what happened to a traitor last seen near Konoha. "Traitor." That was the term that had solidified his decision. There had to be a reason; she had been a hunter-nin. Her duty: to track down rogue shinobi, the traitors. She had to know the consequences of becoming the hunted, so the reason for her supposed defection had to have some meaning behind it. He thought it over, and decided to continue her fight. His father never questioned it; he was a grown man now, and his decision was his own. He would join the Red Sages, and fight the real traitors. 【Family ties】 Nori grew up in a single-father middle-class household, with his mother visiting only once every several months during her time of service after she got herself off of maternity leave. He has no siblings. After the destruction of Kirigakure, he lived in near-poverty with his single father, and never saw his mother again. Naozumi Hisakawa \| Father \| 50, Kumogakure, farmer. Suffers depression from the loss of his wife. Under surveillance following disappearance of chunin son. Former spouse classified as traitor. Koyori Hisakawa \| Mother \| 44, Deceased. Hunter-nin. Classified as traitor for assisting criminals against the Hamajō Confederation. 【Dreams and fears】 Nori's dreams are to discover why his mother decided to join the Red Sages before him, and avenge her personal legacy. His fears are for his father being punished for having two criminals in the family, despite his innocence. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Nori focuses around genjutsu-based combat, looking to manipulate his opponents into a corner with various Water-style ninjutsu and weaponry--most notably being a naginata--before locking them down with genjutsu and going in to finish the job. 【N/A】 Bloodline limit name: N/A Description: User possesses no known kekkei genkai. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: B rank techniques: Water Release: Water Formation Wall C rank techniques: Water Prison Technique Water Clone Technique Water Release: Water Bullet Technique Water Release: Water Bowl D-E rank techniques: Body Replacement Technique Unsealing Technique Hiding in Mist Technique 【Custom made techniques】 Aquatic Bone Suffering Rank: B Range: Dependent Description: This jutsu causes all water created from a previous Water Release ninjutsu to have an extreme numbing effect to any skin in contact with it, extremely hindering the sense of touch, and in turn, making it more difficult to control the dampened areas. While the effect is immediate and intense though, it's reliant on how wet the opponent is; if they've been successfully dodging techniques, or happen to be in heavy armor, they likely won't be affected significantly. Likewise, managing to sufficiently dry themselves will remove the effect, and as with all genjutsu, if they are aware it's the illusion of loss of sensation, then they can mentally force themselves to overcome it if possible. The strength of the technique is its subtlety and range, the weakness being its ease of avoidance. Jutsu name: Water Release: Seashell Current Discord Rank: B Range: Mid to long-range Description: An audio genjutsu, in which the user releases a quick jet of water from their mouth onto anything nearby. Those hearing any noise the jet of water creates, such as its impact, will begin hearing only the noise they heard the genjutsu create, be it a splash on another body of water, against a tree, etc., essentially cutting off their ability to hear. In combination with the Hiding in Mist Technique, it can be crippling to have one of your other means of locating your opponent crippled. The strength of the genjutsu lies in it's simplicity of execution and subtlety. The weaknesses lie in the lack of physical hindrance; the opponent is not incapacitated in any other way, and it can be avoided by not hearing the initial noise, and the technique can be overcome with sufficient time/chakra control. Jutsu name: Kingdom of the Eastern Seas Rank: A Range: Short Description: The user clasps their hand at an opponent's throat or forehead while casting the genjutsu, after which, the victim will be under the illusion of being dragged to the bottom of the ocean floor; painful, crushing water pressure, asphyxiation, no light, and no sound. These effects persist until the caster of the genjutsu releases their hand from the opponent, or loses the ability to channel the chakra. The weakness of the technique lies in its extremely close range, especially so with the need to grasp something as usually well-protected as a head or neck. The strength lies in the fast effects and sheer intensity of the genjutsu, crippling all senses at once, incapacitating most in short order. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Customized Naginata Description: A 5 foot long bright grey naginata, with the bottom half able to collapse into the top to make it a more efficient weapon at extremely close range, as well as the tsuba consisting of a hardened rubber disk, to insulate electricity coming through the blade, knowing that his exclusive use of water techniques makes him quite vulnerable to an electric discharge. The coloration is exclusively for blending in with the Hiding in Mist Technique, to make the weapon harder to see. Okay, just threw it in over the post I had to "delete" before.
51,170	1,381	77	2,654	2,774	Ninko Hazuchi Konoha border Ninko was taken a bit by surprise at how quickly the Red Sage put his foot close to Ninko's neck and he had to not react by getting physical, fighting would be useless. He watched Arima turn to look at the other shinobi and Ninko got a bad feeling in his gut that the Red Sage was contemplating whether or not to just kill him then and there. Arima gave him three seconds to explain himself and he would need to be quick about and make it believable. "My name is Ninko Hazuchi, I was a shinobi of the confederation and ever since I was young I wanted to be a great ninja, one who the people could look up to for admiration and inspiration. I eventually realized that I could never live that dream being part of the corruption that has infested the confederation, I could never see myself as a great shinobi under a lie and that's why I left the confederation. I had hopes that joining the Red Sages would allow me to one day live that dream if the confederation was defeated. I don't care if you kill me here and now, I just wanted to see if I could still see my dreams become a reality by joining your cause" he said in a nervous voice, but it was full of emotion and passion. Ninko hoped that it would be enough to convince the shinobi to let him tag along and join the Red Sages. From what he had heard it seemed like the Red Sages could use as much help as they could get. This would be his one chance at getting inside the rebel group and he had to take it. This was dangerous and he was risking his life, but Ninko was sure that this would pay off if he did everything right and didn't arouse too much suspicion if he joined the Red Sages.	“My blade is only as strong as my will.” Ninko is not a tall person for his age and he stands at about 5'5 in height. Despite his small height, he has a very athletic body and his muscles are very developed. Many would feel embarrassed by having such a small height for a man, but Ninko prefers it and uses it to his advantage. He thanks his height for allowing him to be more evasive and harder to catch.

They originate from an unknown area of Kirigakure. 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Ninko is a very hardworking boy and sometimes has trouble slowing down and enjoying the little things in life. For him life is all about achieving one's goals through great dedication and self improvement. He is extremely loyal to his family and the confederation, both he would willing lay down his life for. Ninko is a traditionalist and views respecting one's tradition is more important than the desire for pure freedom. He believes that nothing is truly free and that society can only work through the rule of law and morality. Some would call him an authoritarian, which has truth to it, but Ninko just believes in the hierarchy system of the shinobi and that lower ranks should always respect their superiors and follow their authority. He also can have a bad temper if someone angers him and pissing him off is not a wise idea. Ninko is firmly against being a showoff when it comes to his sword skills and thinks it is always necessary for a shinobi to be unpredictable with his arts. 【History】 Ninko was born in Kirigakure to the Hazuchi family and his parents were Kirin and Ishira Hazuchi. He also had two siblings, a brother and sister. From the moment he could remember, his father taught him the ways of the sword, telling him the stories of his legendary ancestors and the secrets of the blade. When he was four years, his father began training him in the arts of swordsmanship and Ninko began his long journey to become the next legendary swordsmen of his family. Life wasn't all that easy for Ninko, despite coming from a famous family, he was bullied for his small size. He especially received a good deal of venom from the popular girl of the shinobi academy. Because of this Ninko had to prove to everyone that his size had nothing to do with his capability. After graduating the academy, his father gave him his own sword as a gift for moving on to the next stage of his ninja training. Ninko named the blade Longtooth and began to train himself in mastering his sword. As a genin his shinobi journey was difficult especially with the dangerous missions that Hamajō Confederation gave them and it was a battle for survival. His master was not a fan of being overly kind and wanted good results from his students. Thankfully Ninko made it through the genin stage of his ninja journey and eventually made it to the rank of Chūnin. Now older and more experienced in the arts of sword combat, Ninko is still on his way to becoming a legendary swordsman and making his family proud. 【Family ties】 His family is a very tight knit group and they go by the motto of 'Family is everything and loyalty is greater than strength' as their driving motivation as shinobi. Kirin \| Father\| 44, Kirigakure, jonin, leader of the Hazuchi family Ishira \| mother \| 44, Kirigakure, jonin Kino \| brother \| 16, Kirigakure, Chunin, very detirmined to become a great shinobi and Ninko's arhc rival Miki \| sister \| 18, Kirigakure , chunin, older sister to Ninko and Kino, easily annoyed by her younger brothers. 【Dreams and fears】 Ninko desires to become a legendary swordsmen and help maintain the legend of the Hazuchi family. He wants to be remembered for the rest of time for his great deeds and it is because of this that his greatest fear is to be insignificant in the history books. He also fears failure and of bringing shame to himself and his family. Combat reports. He is incredibly efficient and will not waste time before taking an enemy down. He has little to no problems following orders and has an intimidating presence on the battlefield. His speed is what's most frightening especially the swiftness of his sword, once that blade gets moving it just becomes a blur and he slices through enemies so easily. 【Fighting style】 Ninko's method of combat is swordsmanship and will only utilize other tools as back up plans when his sword skills alone won't cut it. Speed and agility are his main bases for his attack and his sword fighting style is a martial art created by his family, which pushes the swordsman to their full potential through sword practice and body training. Ninko has been taught to view his sword like a part of his body and to use it to its full potential. Ninko is also proficient in channeling his wind and lightning chakra nature through his weapon 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: none 【Ninja techniques】 D-E rank techniques: Clone Technique. 【Custom made techniques】 Wind God's Blade Rank: B Range: short - medium Description: Ninko channels wind chakra through his blade and slashes out with the blade. The swing unleashes a seven foot wide crescent moon shaped blue wave of air that can cut through solid rock. The technique can only go in the direction that it sent to and can be dodged. This technique can also be taxing on the user's chakra if used to many times. Blade Storm] Rank: C Range: short Description: Ninko unleashes a torrent of incredibly fast slashes at his opponent and it is meant as a way of unbalancing the target until they make a mistake in their defense and Ninko then cuts them down. While this technique can be used against multiple opponents it works best against a single target. Lightning Thrust Rank: B Range: short - medium Ninko channels lightning through his blade and then thrusts out with the weapon. The lightning then extends out at an incredibly fast pace like the blade is elongating and it pierces through its target. This technique is for a single target and is not very useful against multiple opponents. Flying Dragon Rank: C Range: short Description: Ninko leaps into the air flipping and comes down upon his opponent with great speed and power with a spinning slash. Dragon's Rage Rank: A Range: medium Description: Ninko is surrounded in an aura of electricity that takes on the shape of a dragon and this aura grants him the ability to move and jump at insane speeds. When he makes contact with an opponent his aura creates a powerful blast of lightning and he combines this with a stab from his blade to add to the massive about of damage. This technique ends the moment upon impact and the aura only lasts for about a minute before it disappears and the attack is gone so he has to hit his opponent within that time frame. It uses up a large chunk of the users chakra. Wind Release: Hurricane Mouth Rank: B Range: medium - long Description: Ninko unleashes a mighty blast of air from his mouth that is powerful enough to blow away several objects and hits opponents with a massive amount of force. This technique is his way of getting out of combat situations where he is getting mobbed by several opponents. Reaper Slice Rank: C Range: short Description: Ninko channels chakra through his blade to increase its power and he slices his opponents in their midsection. This technique is a large sweeping motion and can be used against multiple enemies. Defensive Zone Rank: C Range: short Description: Ninko focuses his efforts on defense and heightens his senses to deflect oncoming attacks with his blade. By moving at incredible speeds Ninko is able to deflect shuriken and other projectile weapon attacks as well close ranged melee weapons. This technique focuses entirely on defense and offers no counterattack options for Ninko, meaning that while using this technique he cannot do any offensive attacks. Finally this technique is useless against elemental ninjutsu attacks. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Longtooth Weapon, tool or object type: sword] Description: Longtooth is a style of sword unique to his family and is forged very differently from the usual blades used by shinobi. His sword is just as deadly in cutting as a katana, but also is better for thrusting attacks. The weapon weight exactly two pounds and the metal is incredibly tough.
51,171	1,381	78	925	1,132	Don Homo Mikoto, Red Sages, Escaping, though later in the base of the Red Sages Nori seemed relieved to see Mikoto still in one piece. "You wound me, good sir. A rogue as charming as myself wouldn't be done in so easily by mere confederation shinobi, capable or not. Their numbers, however, were certainly astounding. There were at least four of them going for my head." Mikoto explained, before clearing his throat. "I can handle that many shinobi, mind you, but with a Sharingan and Byakugan in play, not to mention the odd Kekkei Genkai you encountered, I preferred to play it safe and retreat as well." Mikoto certainly did not mind the eavesdropping when Yudai joined the fray after Mikoto explained his situation. With his ever charming smile and a quick wink, Mikoto answered the question from Yudai after Nori's explenation. "They were still plenty unexperienced, though. It seems my friend here, I still haven't heard your name," He turned to Nori with a knowing smile. He seemed to have overheard Mikoto's name before, but he was still out of the loop regarding Nori's name. "and I could handle the four of them if we worked a bit more on our teamwork. So, yes, I would certainly classify it as good." Afterwards, Nori started explaining something to their Lady Commander. Mikoto decided to appreciate the landscape as Nori did so. He said so before, his work was not intelligence. Arriving to the base, Mikoto retired for his quarters to get himself a change of clothes and unwind some after looking at some of the portraits he kept in his bed, since there was mostly nowhere else to keep them. The three pieces he had in his possession all were extremely beautiful and, just by looking at them, seemed extremely expensive. Mikoto's treasures, which he got after years of saving up. Nobody dared touched them, lest they wanted their hand severed. In any case, he decided to take off the attire he had just used during the last battle. The flak jacket he was wearing was swept under his bed and he took off his pants as well. It was a shame there was no mirror, lest he could've spent some time looking at himself, see if there was any imperfection in his beautiful body. Well, he'd have to wait until he could go into the shower to take a look at his perfect body again. He quickly got dressed in a short sleeved black shirt, then put on a formal gray vest over that and a pair of black pants. He was ready for that meeting Lady Tametomo had spoken of before. In the meeting, he was comfortably sitting in his chair, his right leg resting over his left knee, until the Commander asked if anyone had some kind of thing to comment about. Mikoto did, so he raised his hand and started talking, "Yes, I do. I encountered a young Uchiha girl. Beuatiful black hair, beautiful black eyes. She was perfectly beautiful. I like her a lot. However, she refused to lay down arms when fighting against me. As such, I shall be the one to terminate her. A beautiful girl like her deserves a death just as beautiful. That is all." Mikoto announced. Afterwards, he folded his arms and listened to the rest of the meeting. He just wanted to get that out of the way. Cutting Board Kanata, Undecided, Festival Compound, going to move to Sunagakure Katsuko was getting ready to leave. Kanata dropped her stance and she felt all of that accumulated tension leave her body. When Mirai warned her of something, though, she brought both of her hands together and was just about ready to cast her Water Pillar jutsu to defend herself of whatever was coming. She couldn't, though, as Mirai brought her down to the ground. She was surprised by the sheer force of the peebles and debris flying. One or two fell on her face, which hurt a bit but was mostly just annoying. What hurt, though, was Mirai's grip on her. After she finally let go and helped Kanata up, the girl stuttered, "T-Thanks." It was a real surprise. She would've used her water pillar jutsus out of pure reflex, but the rocks already on their way could've possibly killed her. Her heart was throbbing. She felt she was about to die. It was horrible. She threw herself at Mirai and held her tightly against herself. She didn't cry, but she only wanted to make sure she was still alive. To feel someone against herself. After a while, she finally let go of Mirai and let out a relieved sigh, "Sorry about that. Dunno what got into me." she said with a slight blush in her cheeks. "And anything they ask, we just say we got here too late. Cause that's really what happened." The tension that left her body came all back in an instant after Yakoul said he would punish them, as he lifted the body of the dead commander. When he threw him at them, Kanata stepped back and, "Kya!" She let out. It was too sudden and now, she had let out some kind of weird cry. When that settled in, her whole face got red. "Don't ever do that again, cat-fucker. C'mon, Mirai, help me with this." Kanata took the man's upper body. "And it's Kanata. I'll be at your lousy meeting." Later during the meeting, Kanata, unlike her brother, did not have the opportunity to change out of her battle attire, mostly because she wasn't wearing one to begin with. It was her free day and she wouldn't spend it in a flak jacket, even if she still carried around her kunais. She was, instead, looking at the mask she had retrieved from the battlefield. She traced its form with her right index finger. She was settled as a confederation shinobi today, and they didn't take well for traitors, meaning that if she decided to follow up with her plan to help her brother while wearing that mask, she'd have to be EXTRA careful so as to not get caught. Firstly, Mirai couldn't see her. She'd recognize the mask. Secondly, Yakoul could also probably see that it was her, despite the mask. He seemed pretty observant, despite everything. She put it away and sighed. If she didn't get into the fucking meeting any time soon, the cat would come drag her into it. She'd rather not. She went into the hall and took a seat relatively near to Yakoul so she could hear everyting. Mikoto's safety depended on what this madman decided to do. She also hoped that her new friend, Mirai, would come sit near her. One of the few people she actually liked from the confederation. Anzai, of whom I still don't have a cool round image for, Red Sages, Da Base Anzai did not participate in the mission from before because he decided not to waste any effort on that. With Katsuko there, he was sure they could manage just fine. The next one, though, he couldn't miss it even if they asked him to. He was patiently waiting in the meeting hall alongside everyone for the meeting to carry on for the juicy mission details, despite the redhead and his statement to 'beautifully' kill an Uchiha girl. Anzai shook his heard. Several of the shinobi gathered seemed to be holding back their laughter by the stiffled sounds coming out of their mouths. "I certainly do not believe this man should be allowed to handle such a task. If the Uchiha girl rippens, she could become a lot of trouble, if the stories of the past are remotely near to the truth. Swift assassination would be our best bet. I hope Tametomo-sama does not heed his words, though he is pretty much making an statement." He thought but did not voice his thoughts. One interrumption was more than enough to make the meeting drag. Hopefully, the others would be as impacient as himself for the details of the next mission.	I want a cool name for where I keep my characters too “Who might that handsome guy in the mirror be? Ah, it's just me.” Meet Amatsurahashi Mikoto. A young man standing at 1.79 meters who probably spends more time looking at himself in the mirror than actually fighting. His long red hair made into a ponytail is probably the one with the best care in the whole army, even among the women. His fair skin has so many layers of creams and other chemicals that some men think he'll explode if there's some fire near him. His blue eyes have never been seen in another state than their almost always perfect one in which Mikoto keeps them. There are some rumors going around that say his eyes can't actually be that pretty alone, saying that they MUST be using contact lenses. He is so picky with his food and training menu to keep his slim, yet strong build, that many come to take his advice on how to take better care of their own physique.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Have you ever met that one person that just seems to sing everything when he talks? That's the kind of person Mikoto is. A lot of people think he is annoying, but he just shows no signs of changing. Ever since he was a child he's had one rule with which he lives by. To never change himself even if others want to change him. Always remain true to the desires of his heart. He is that kind of whimsical guy. He loves art, music and just about anything that expresses the true desires of the heart. He spends a great deal of time in unnecessary and excessive grooming. He also seems to vastly prefer the company of men rather than the company of woman. These are just some of the reason as to why a lot of people think Mikoto is actually homosexual. Mikoto is only really picky when it comes to women, not to mention that he isn't popular with woman either because of how effeminate he seems at times. Several of his close friends actually know this, and still like to tease him about that. Having sparked several misunderstandings, Mikoto has made an habit of introducing himself with his sexuality in his introduction line. Despite his love for his beauty, Mikoto is neither an stranger to fight nor is he scared of them. He is not a ninja just for show. Mikoto's will to fight is just as much, if not even more, than other ninjas. He will never run away, nor will he ever admit he is outpowered. That's why he believes it is wrong for shinobi's to only be after money and not to follow their heart's desires. He does, however, protect his face a lot more than any other shinobi does. His reason to be one of the Red Sages is simple; "Doesn't freedom sound like a beautiful concept to you? I'd very much like to see what true freedom is like." 【History】 What can you expect from Mikoto's story? Yes, he was bullied as a kid. Yes, he was beaten up a lot as a kid. No, he was not mentally scarred or traumatised by this. Mikoto actually fought back. He's never been afraid of getting his hands dirty. Though he's always been a dilligent student, more than once has he been scolded by his teachers because of how many fights he got himself into. During elementary school, he had to fight his way through bullies and smart-asses who thought he was nothing more than a sissy. It wasn't until he started going to junior high school that he discovered a better way to deal with bullies instead of fighting them. Completely ignoring them. Why, there's nothing more infuriating than the sissy you are trying to piss off completely ignores your very existance. It ended up either with the guys giving up and moving on to their next victim or them trying to beat up Mikoto, which ended up badly for them. Again. By the time he entered high school, Mikoto had created a reputation for himself. Never again did he have to deal with idiots trying to piss him off. Sadly, it was... boring. Extremely so. How could he ever relieve this boredom? Already studying to be a ninja and a Chuunin, and the Hamajo Confederation didn't seem eager to start a war any time soon. Then, what could little old Mikoto do to relieve his thirst for fighting? The Red Sages was the only thing that came to his mind. 【Family ties】 The Amatsurahashi family. Harsh in their ninja training, lax in their concept of what a man should be. Why you ask? Mikoto's father died when he was 4 on the way to the hospital when Mikoto's sister was about to be born. So, Mikoto had to quickly grow up and become the man of the house and so, he had no time to have his lunch handed over to him by some guys who taught were better than him. Not to mention he had an example to set for his sister. Amatsurahashi Haruka \| Mother \| 42, Kirigakure, Reitred Shinobi Amatsurahashi Kanata \| Sister \| 16, Kirigakure, Shinobi, Chuunin 【Dreams and fears】 His dream is to see actual freedom. To be able to see what it truly means for a shinobi to be able to be free. He'd also like to learn how to play an instrument, ANY instrument. His deepest and darkest fear is for all that is beautiful to him, including his family, to be taken away from him all at once. To leave him at the mercy of a world where nothing can no longer make him feel alive. Basically, being alive but dead inside is his biggest fear. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Many describe Mikoto's fighting style as refined and entracing. They say it is like watching him dance instead of fighting. Still, Mikoto's taijutsu is deadly and precise. There is no wasted effort, no wasted moves. Everything is made to be a beautifully perfect fighting style for Mikoto. Rhythm and tempo are the bases for his taijutsu style. He always tries to imitate a song playing inside his head as he fights, trying to match the timings of his strikes and the timing to avoid and counter-attack. Thanks to his being knowledgeable about several types of music, it is easy for him to change gears in the blink of an eye. He tends to use bojutsu, a fighting style through the use of a staff, when he thinks taijutsu is no longer enough to defeat someone. He usually combines bojutsu with ninjutsu to make an even more lethal style. He is more of a physical fighter rather than using ninjutsu and genjutsu. His ninjutsu acts more as a support for his fighting style and he tries to avoid using genjutsu, mainly because it isn't his best subject. His ninjutsu focuses on the use of water as a high speed waterjet to cut through things. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Doesn't have one. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Water Release: High Speed Jet B rank techniques: Water Release: Water Beast Water Release: Hiding in Water Technique C rank techniques: Water Release: Water Gun Water Release: Water Whip Water Clone Technique D-E rank techniques: All basic Academy E ones. 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Water Release: High Speed Jet Rank: A Range: Short Range, can only be use in hand-to-hand combat. Description: The user releases a high speed stream of water from their finger tips and envelops both of their hands in a water jet that can cut through just about anything. This technique, however, is as harmful to the user as it is to their opponent, and can only be used once in a fight to avoid further damage to their hands and/or weapons. Depending of the Chakra output of the user, this move becomes more powerful and becomes able to cut through harder materials. How much the chakra is being used also determines how long this jutsu can last. At minimum output, the Jutsu can cut through wood easily and can last about an hour (6 posts) without damaging the user's skin. In a weapon, it can last for a complete hour (6 posts) before it starts eating away at the materials of the weapon. At medium output, the jutsu can cut through bone, rock and even iron. The user can mantain it for 15 (3 posts) minutes without major damage to their hands. In a weapon, it can last for 30 minutes (4 posts). At maximum output, the jutsu can cut through just about any kind of metal standing in its way, though it won't be able to cut through chakra enhanced weapons, diamonds or crystal release jutsus. In the user's hands, it can only last for a minute (1 post) before there is major damage and in a weapon it can last for 5 minutes (2 posts) before it destroys the weapon completely. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon Name: Sonatta Weapon, tool or object type: Staff Description: A large white and black staff that is about the same height as Mikoto himself. It is made out of wood and has two metal plates at both of its ends, so it can withstand Mikoto's High Speed Jet Jutsu. “Yeah, I am that guy's sister. No, I won't get you a date with him. Why? Because he doesn't freakin' like dudes!” Standing at a not even surprising 1.64 meters and a rather slim and flimsy frame, it is Amatsurahashi Kanata. Like her brother, she has fiery red hair and blue eyes, but neither of them are as well cared for as his. In fact, her brother likes to point out the split ends her hair might have. Her hair is long and usually kept in a pair of twintails that reach her waist. Her blue eyes are big and have been called cute several times, by relatives and her mother, mainly. Her fair skin does have some cream put into it but not the ungodly amounts her brother uses. Like other men, she fears she might catch fire if she imitates her brother. Her frame is slim but well trained, as expected of any shinobi. The problem lies in her chest, something she has a strong complex about and what often makes others confuse her for a boy (given how her brother is). A teenager who'd like to put as much attention on her appearance as her homo brother, Amatsurahashi Kanata. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Unlike her brother who has 'shit for brains', Kanata is a lot more normal than her egocentric and metrosexual brother, if a lot more tomboyish than your regular kunoichi. But let's be honest here, what screams femininity more than a girl in a tight suit jumping around and throwing sharp things at others? Foul-mouthed by nature, full of hormones thanks to her age and Kanata's short fuse make her an adorable pack of emotions, insults, bad words and sarcasm all in one. She's known for not holding anything back, and this has gotten her in a lot more of problems than she's ever wanted to have. Her tongue moves faster than her brain can catch up, hurling insults at people she shouldn't piss off. She depends a lot on her brother Mikoto to get her out of such situations. An idiot by birth not by choice, Kanata has found herself in more than one tight spot both in school and in the streets. She often comments on how life wouldn't be as exciting if she didn't get in as much problems as she does, though. Add to all of this the fact that she has several complexes about her body and life and it just makes her the perfect adolescent with attitude problems. She just needs to run away and the pack should be complete. Among her several complexes, she's got a complex about her chest and an inferiority complex towards her brother. Don't try to mention her height or call her a boy either. Overall, Kanata is a short-tempered idiot with a big mouth AND some ability as a ninja. At least she knows how to fight AND when she should just run for it instead of fighting. "Live to fight another day. Those idiots will never catch me anyway, not with mighty homo Mikoto watching my back." 【History】 Unlike her brother, Kanata was largely ignored in her school years, all the way from elementary school it was just a big whole of... nothing. Have you ever seen your graduation photo and noticed a guy that is there but you never actually saw? If not, that's what several people thought after getting their graduation photo and finally noticing Kanata. Everyone expected big things from Amatsurahashi Mikoto's sister, only to be let down by the extremely pragmatic and sarcastic Kanata. Her existence mostly went unnoticed until she finally became a Chuunin. Pairing up with her brother and going out in missions made them a deadly combo. Finally, people started noticing Kanata and she wasn't sure of whether this was a good or bad thing. Well, she never really did have a lack of friends, she just was in that small group that mostly went unnoticed by others. Later she determined that it was bad. Real bad. They all came to her with words like 'Oh, did Mikoto have a sister? Never knew.' or 'Wow, to think you could actually do something!'. What came after those comments was most definitely not pretty. Having gained a bad reputation this time around, people started to actually avoid her. Well, her fame was short lived, and it was good that it was. 【Family ties】 Kanata's father died before she was born, so she only has her older brother and mother to rely on. While she is fond of and loves the two of them, she does find them, Mikoto specially, annoying. Amatsurahashi Haruka \| Mother \| 42, Kirigakure, Retired Shinobi Amatsurahashi Mikoto \| Brother \| 20, Kirigakure, Shinobi, Part of the Red Sages, "Full time homo" 【Dreams and fears】 She dreams of one day surpassing her ever so perfect and beautiful brother, or at the very least shake off the feeling of inferiority she feels towards him. Her biggest fear is not being able to go to the next One Direction concert living in the shadow of her brother. Also to be noted, she is scared witless of Mikoto's imminent death if he keeps doing dangerous things. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Never to shine herself but to give others the opportunity to shine, Kanata's fighting style is a purely supportive one. She can indeed defend herself in hand to hand combat, yes, but her true talent comes out when she is fighting alongside someone else. Her specialty are ninjutsu and genjutsu used to support a more aggressive battle style like her brother's. She intends to stall, hinder and trip her opponents at every step they give. Even if they are about to hit their mark, she'll make sure that what they hit is nothing more but an illusion she's made. Cunning and brains, not muscles and... more muscles, are what make her a formidable fighter. She uses water release, but unlike her brother, she uses mist and barriers to hinder her opponents. Her taijutsu is the weakest part of her fighting style as a whole. She can easily be overpowered by any opponent with more experience in hand to hand combat or otherwise. Her taijutsu is focused on the use of her legs, since her arms are more like sticks. She uses a combination of muay thai and tae kwon do to keep opponents at bay while she uses her hands to prepare her next jutsu. Kanata also tends to use submission holds against opponents bigger than her, in order to keep them from moving and to give herself more time to cast her next jutsu. Thanks to her being bad at taijutsu, she carries even more kunais than the average shinobi. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Thank God I don't need to fill this longass form 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Water Release: Water Heavens Convergence B rank techniques: Water Release: Water Formation Pillar Water Release: Water Beast Illysionary Mist C rank techniques: Water Prison Technique Water Release: Water Gun Water Clone Technique Water Release: Enveloping Mist D-E rank techniques: Hidden In Mist Technique 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Water Release: Enveloping Mist Rank: C Range: Large, it covers an area of 30 meters around the user. Description: The user, Kanata, releases mist from the tip of her fingers that envelops a wide are around her. It does nothing more, nothing less. Once the mist is out of Kanata, it does not take any chakra for her to mantain it. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Kunais. Lots and lots of them. Weapon, tool or object type: Throwing Kunai Description: Simple kunais in ungodly quantities. Makes you wonder where the hell is she hiding so many of them. “Calm yourself. I mean you no harm. ... Your heartbeat is starting to calm down. Good.” An intimidating man standing at 1.80 meters and a man of nerves made out of steel, Kisaragi Anzai. He's got short and spiky black hair falling right over his face. He uses a headband at the top of his forehead to not let it rub against his face, since he is pretty sensitive. Anzai's skin is dark brown, making for a perfect example of the trademark Kumogakure ethnicity. He's got gray eyes, but he always keeps his eyes shut. Unlike many cliché anime characters, Anzai actually keeps his own eyes shut because he is blind. His physique is quite buff and muscular, something that affects his diet quite a lot since he needs to eat a lot more than your regular shinobi. Despite his physique and Kekkei Genkai, Anzai keeps always keeps a cane by his side. The Blind Assassin, Kisaragi Anzai. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Kisaragi Anzai 【Alias】 The Blind Assassin, Anzu 【Affiliation】 Red Sages 【Age】 25 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Asexual/Bi-romantic (think I saw someone use the word hetero-romantic somewhere, so I'm borrowing the idea) 【Birthplace】 Kumogakure 【Bloodline】 Kisaragi 【Rank】 Jounin -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Calm and stoic are the words that best define Anzai. He's lived his life having to take calm and well-thought steps due to his blindness. It gives you more time to think, in a way. Everything he does is well-thought and meditated, even his jokes, which tend to be overlooked because of his monotone tone of voice. Because of his legendary calmness and his habit of meditation, many often believe that Anzai is, in fact, sleeping. He has fallen asleep while meditating if we are being completely honest, but it is a rare occurrence indeed. Once, someone stepped over him while sleeping. Anzai is really prideful, despite his usual cool demeanor. Offering to help him go down the stairs or other friendly offers for help upset him greatly and, despite not losing his cool demeanor, you'll find yourself threatened by that same calm nature. In a nutshell, feeling pity for him can really work against you. "Even as I am blind, I can see far more than you." His mannerisms and calmness often lead others to believe that he is expressionless, or worse, emotionless. This is most certainly not true, but Anzai does manage to keep his emotions in check most of the time. This is because he understands and accepts all of his emotions, which has also made him able to tell a person's mood through the tone of their voice or what they are feeling through the beat of their heart. These two abilities, though, are rendered useless in battle as he cannot focus his hearing solely in his opponent, otherwise he'd feel he's leaving himself open. As with everything else, Anzai tends to keep calm and stoic even in the most heated of situations, making him both an intimidating and terrifying foe. 【History】 The long line of Katsuragi shinobi felt that its long tradition of warriors had come to an end when they discovered that Anzai, next in line to become the head of the small clan, was born blind. Not having sight, an almost indispensable tool in the trade of being a ninja. They thought all was lost were it not for what they noticed later. The boy could indeed see and his 'sight' could reach even further than their own. The Kekkei Genkai of the Kisaragi allows them to feel electric currents, but only when thrown in a jutsu, making it a highly defensive type of Kekkei Genkai that could only protect them against an specific type of jutsu. Anzai's blindness took it a step further. Anzai could actually sense the small electrical charges carried by electrons, and that permitted him to make an image inside of his head of what things would look like if he could see, and what made it better was the fact that his 'vision' covered a whole 360 around him. It was blurry at first, of course. Untrained and instinctive, the Kisaragi could not pass up on such an opportunity. Regardless of his shortcomings when he first started training, the Kisaragi finally were able to make an specially deadly and stoic shinobi out of Anzai, who could now see clearly after refining the use fo his Kekkei Genkai. Once he got clearance to become a Jounin, however, what followed were years full of frustration. Everyone looked down on him because of his blidness. They wouldn't allow him to participate in missions, and he would remain mediocre because the Confederation frowned upon physical demonstrations of power, at least between their own armies. The last straw was when his commander called him weak, and that he couldn't kill him even if he were sleeping. Making a live demonstration, Anzai went to the Red Sages dragging his commander's body by the neck. The commander was known to be a powerful but arrogant commander that had been hindering several of the operations of the Red Sages. He hoped that such a demonstration would be enough for the Red Sages to acknowledge his potential. Thankfully for them, they did. 【Family ties】 Anzai's family is filled with strong warriors, warriors that would risk their lives at the beck and call of their masters. So was the case with both of Anzai's parents, who died while he was still training. His only remaining (close) family is his grandfather. Kisaragi Youtsugi \| Grandfather \| 81, Kumogakure, Old fart too proud to retire from being a shinobi. 【Dreams and fears】 Anzai dreams of making his a powerful clan, one rivaling the Uchiha or the Hyuuga. Despite not seeing (pun intended) the allure of the intercourse, Anzai does wish to have an heir who inherits both his powerful Kekkei Genkai and blindness, horrible as it may sound. He thinks of himself as the next step towards greatness for his clan. An improvement over those before him and the true potential of their Kekkei Genkai. His biggest fear, though odd but logical considering his personality, is to be able to see with his eyes. He feels he'll lose his powerful KG if he sudeenly becomes able to see. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 A dojutsu without eyes. So many have described Anzai's battle style. His genjutsu skills are non-existant, perhaps because he cannot see in the traditional way, but his lack of skill in genjutsu is compensated by his skill in ninjutsu and kenjutsu. He keeps his sword concealed inside the cane he always carries with himself. His fighting style is one that prioritizes domination over the battlefield. If people ambush him, then he'll keep everyone at a safe distance through the use of his ninjutsu, and then engage each of them with his sword and finish them quickly. He's been called the Blind Assassin because he always aims to end his fights quickly, before his opponent can catch up on the several weaknesses of his Kekkei Genkai. If he is overwhelmed or has spent too much in a fight, he tends to retire as quick as possible and fight another day, despite his prideful personality. He is dead set on not letting anyone know of the weaknesses of his abilities, and will surely kill anyone who catches on on them. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Denkaku (電覚) Description: The Kisaragi KG allows the clansmen to sense strong currents of electricity, like those produced from a Lightning Release ninjutsu. Anzai's lack of sight, however, makes this ability extremely powerful, and allows him to sense even the small electrons that are around almost every atom, which allows him to make complete 360 images in a range of 10 meters around him. The KG also allows the Kisaragi to use an special type of ninjutsu because of the constant electric wave that surrounds them. Anzai's is neither stronger nor weaker than those before him. Strengths: Allows Anzai to make 360 images of the terrain he is in. Can dodge Lightning release ninjutsu easily thanks to being able to detect them from wherever they are coming. Due to the excited atoms of a hot body, Anzai can also sense Fire Release rather clearly and can sense even more clearly any individual with a high body temperature. Anzai can become a walking stungun by amplifying the electric wave going around him. If extremely concentrated and in only one individual, Anzai can predict their next attacks by seeing the electricity running through their muscles as they move. This, however, makes him blind to any other thing happening in his surroundings. Weaknesses: Being hit by Wind Release, the usual weakness of Lightning release, can either make his vision blurry or blind him completely, if the jutsu is strong enough(B jutsus and stronger). He cannot sense Ice Release or any body at Absolute Zero temperature. (Not necessarily a shinobi, could also be metal). Due to the lack of electrons in their atoms, Anzai can't sense gases either. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Lightning Release: Depht Charge Lightning Release: Walking Stungun B rank techniques: Lightning Release: False Darkness Lightning Release: Lightning Trap C rank techniques: Lightning Release Wall Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder D-E rank techniques: None worth mentioning. 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Lightning Release: Walking Stungun Rank: A Range: Short Range Description: Using Lightning Release, Anzai supercharges his nervous system after amplifying the natural electric wave surrounding his body and reversing it inside, but unlike A's Lightning Chakra mode, Anzai does not enhance his physical capabilities. The electricity surrounding Anzai also becomes visible to any of his enemies as small lightning courses his arms, chest and legs. Touching Anzai while doing this will result in an extremely painful and stunning electric shock, that renders taijutsu useless against him. While this does not actually hurt Anzai, it does leave him paralyzed for a long while afterwards, so he does not use it that often. The longest he can keep this technique activated is for 5 posts. Anzai theorizes that if his whole body was sedated and his mind wasn't, he could use this technique to move. He hasn't had the opportunity to prove this theory, though, and the fact that he still needs to make the hand seals makes it... kind of pointless. Jutsu name: Lightning Blade: Heaven Piercing Lunge Rank: S Range: Short to Mid Range Description: Anzai thrusts his weapon forward and, much like like the Chidori Katana of Sasuke, creates a highly condensated flow of Lightning release chakra with a range of 10 meters. Though it does not chirp loudly like the Chidori Katana, there is indeed a low, cracking sound that warns of its arrival, not to mention that when it hits, it makes the same sound as a thunder striking the ground as all of the compacted energy dissipates after hitting its target. It is compact and quite small, and its range falls short to other jutsu, but it is a jutsu that can pierce through mostly anything, unless faced with a weapon with flowing Lightning Release chakra or Air Release chakra. Thanks to Anzai's detection and skill, he can make the attack change its course as he wants, though not as many times as he'd like. After moving it three times, the jutsu disappears. Though extremely lethal as it can pierce easily through someone's head or ribcage in an attempt to kill Anzai's enemies, it really depends a lot of where it hits. Jutsu name: Lightning Release: Lightning Spread Rank: C Range: Long Range Description: A variation of the Electromagnetic Murder jutsu. Putting both of his hands on the ground, Anzai releases lightning in a range of 20 meters to keep his opponents away. Jutsu name: Lightning Release Wall Rank: C Range: Short to Mid Range Description: Using Lightning Release, Anzai erects (( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)) a wall with a maximum range of 10 meters, that can be extended to 20 if he places seals to help him keep it up. The wall is made up of violent electric bolts, making it harmful for anyone trying to get past it, whether they want to enter it or exit it. It doesn't seem to affect Lightning Release users as much, though. The only way to dispel it is to either defeat Anzai or, if it is being used at mid range, to take off the seals previously placed by Anzai. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Silent Death Weapon, tool or object type: Sword Cane Description: A sword hidden inside a cane that would otherwise be used to aid his walking. How it looks
51,172	1,381	79	1,105	2,351	Katsuko Moto Considering he was one of the last, if not the last, to leave the ruined festival it was only natural that Katsuko was the last to arrive at the headquarters. There were a number of casualties, for sure, but it wasn't debatable that the Red Sages had inflicted much greater damage to the Confederation than the other way around. But still he could see that the number of shinobi present was smaller than he had hoped. They probably lost a dozen men, at least. Maybe even twenty. But he decided not to dwell on it. People died all the time. He's seen many faces come and go since he joined the Red Sages a few years ago. It was the nature of their war that they would have casualties. Rather than go directly to Seijo to report in, he decided to take a shower and change his clothes. By the time he was freshened up he was no longer wearing a red jacket and jeans but instead a black t-shirt and sweatpants. Still didn't put on any shoes as it was clear he was trying to relax. The burning sensation in his chakra system still persisted but it was dwindling down over time. Not that he was going to tell anyone about his problem anyways, so it was good that the effect wasn't permanent. Eventually Seijo called for a meeting, demanding everyone present to attend. He already had a good idea on what she wanted to talk about and what she was planning, but still showed up anyways. "Yo," he greeted, entering the room and taking a quick glance around. Anzai was here, surprisingly. The blind jounin didn't participate in the Festival raid, but Katsuko wasn't about to criticize him for it. It was handled just fine as it was. Katsuko sat down in a chair near Seijo, but before he could relax into it he decided to take up her offer on reporting things. "I held off the shinobi before leaving, that's why I left late," he explained. That much was already evident and Seijo could've guessed it. He lowered his voice for the next part though. "By the way... you shouldn't try to fight Yakoul Kakariko in the future. Just fall back if he ever challenges you." With his message conveyed, Katsuko finally leaned back in his chair and put his hands behind his head. This was not only a comfortable position but had the slight benefit of showing off his muscles. "That's all." He glanced backwards briefly, to look at the pictures on the wall, before returning his gaze forward and closing his eyes. Not that he was going to try to sleep, but that he knew he could relax and listen at the same time. Odds are if he actually fell asleep Seijo would sucker-punch him or something, and he didn't want to test that theory either way. Mirai Yumiya It seemed that it was finally over. Everyone, or at least everyone around the destroyed compound right now, was okay. Aside from the dead commander, of course. Miria was slightly bothered when Kanata clung to her after the danger passed, but she thought that perhaps the girl had some kind of anxiety attack. After all she could've died a moment ago and Mirai's robot arm wasn't exactly gentle. Mirai herself was definitely scared earlier but that came to pass with the end of the battle. However it wasn't smooth sailing just yet as Yakoul announced he would punish the two girls and then threw the commander's corpse at them. Rather than move out of the way and scream like Kanata, Mirai stood her ground and raised her robotic arm in defense. The body slammed into it, staggering Mirai a little bit before falling to the ground at the girls' feet. "That's sick..." Mirai was no stranger to death and she wasn't squeamish like Kanata was, but it was still unsettling to have a dead body thrown at her. But it was from their own general. What could they do about it? Complain? Who could they complain to? He stood at the top of the hierarchy, there was very few people above Yakoul and her words would never reach them. She just had to grit her teeth and bear it. "Yeah, I'll help you with the body." Mirai grabbed the dead commander by his shins and lifted him up in synch with the red-haired girl. I guess this is fair punishment. Just moving a body to pay for being useless... "Yeah, that bruise won't be going away for a while," Aneko said, lowering Mirai's shirt now that she inspected the blue mark just beneath her ribs. The teenager and her servant were back in their hotel room now. The older woman had a bandage wrapped around her head but Mirai didn't need anything of the sort. "We're lucky that he hit us low. A little higher and our ribs would've been pushed in our lungs." "Ew, please don't talk about it like that." The blue-haired teen adjusted her shirt once Aneko let go, moving towards the window to look out. "We are lucky though, Mirai. We were in the wrong place at the wrong time. If any of those rebels wanted they could've-" "Please! Stop." The servant lady let out a defeated sigh before flopping onto her bed, laying down to stare at the ceiling. "Sorry, I didn't mean to snap. It's just that I feel terrible about it. We didn't do anything. I couldn't do anything. It was humiliating..." Aneko kept quiet, continuing to stare at the ceiling. "Maybe I'm not really cut out to be a shinobi. It took me so long to become chuunin and I barely got it. It was only because of father getting me this fake arm that I even became slightly competent. If I keep trying I'll probably just die like a dog." "But didn't you save that one girl you met?" Mirai looked back at Aneko, confused. "I saved her?" "Well yeah. If one of those rocks hit her she would've been a goner." The younger one pondered over this for a moment, looking back towards the window to look at the smoking village again. "We should probably go to that meeting now, Mirai." "Yeah, let's go." The two girls entered the meeting room silently. They were fairly early, as the meeting had just began judging by how few people had arrived so far. Mirai was quick to spot the red hair of her new friend Kanata. She walked across the room quietly, taking a seat next to Kanata without making a sound. Aneko took the seat on Mirai's other side. Only after the two were situated that Mirai spoke up. "Hey, Kanata," she greeted, in case the girl didn't detect the two sit down. "This is Aneko Toyama, a family friend of mine." At the mention of her name, Aneko gave a slight bow in Kanata's direction but otherwise said nothing. "By the way, I never caught your full name. I'm Mirai Yumiya, of Amegakure. Where are you from?" It seemed that Mirai was mostly ignoring Yakoul and the meeting itself, though one couldn't tell whether that was intentional or if she was just caught up in being friendly with her first real friend.	j8cob's Characters of Moderate Interest and Adequate Writing “Anything for the greater good; there is no measure too extreme.” A man of average height and athletic build, Ryuunosuke would barely stand out in a crowd if it wasn't for his aura and his wardrobe.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 A hero, a villain. A kind soul, a ruthless killer. A heart of gold, a fist of iron. There are many descriptions of Ryuunosuke's character that all depend on who you ask. To some he is a man of great respect, a legendary hero that has fought for his ideals and won. To others he is an opportunist and a fiend, an infamous villain that took power through bloodshed. The truth is these descriptions are all of the same man and they are all accurate. Though noble in presence he justifies all his actions as a means to an end. He truly believes he is saving the world and unifying all the people, and he isn't afraid to slaughter anyone that gets in his way of that vision. All who oppose him are an evil that must be destroyed. He is all that is good and just, so any enemy is naturally evil and irredeemable. The greater good, to Ryuunosuke, is something worth reaching even if he has to climb a mountain of bodies to achieve it. 【History】 The origin of the man named Ryuunosuke Hamajō is shrouded in mystery. There are no documents or eye-witness accounts, he seems to have simply appeared fifteen years ago as a mature and worldly teenager. There are rumors and stories of his early life but none have been confirmed by Ryuu. Even his closest friends and allies have only sparse details on his background. One of the popular propaganda pieces from the beginning of the Hamajō Confederation was the intentional spreading of a rumor that he was truly born from a dragon. This was intended more to bolster support than actually explain who he is, but it caught on as the prominent myth to serve as his "explanation." The earliest report of his existence came when a young, blonde teenager wearing homemade pelts as clothes while carrying a sword entered a clothing store in a rural town just south of the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning. When questioned about his clothes he said rather simply "my old ones were too small and I didn't have many options." When asked who he was, he simply replied "Ryuunosuke Hamajō." After performing several oddjobs to pay off the man for a modern wardrobe he left the city to continue on his journey. This was the first time his name was spoken and it was far from the last. Over the next four years he traveled across the world like a wandering swordsman. He was only a teenager at the time, many didn't take him seriously, and many more tried to take advantage of him. Despite the cruel world he lived in, he was a kind soul. A strong soul. He always spared his attackers, granting mercy on most who crossed him. It was through this kindness that he made his allies. In time he had gathered a group of six followers, each one a man or woman he had defeated and spared. These friends, too, had their own followers and connections. They were all powerful, strong shinobi from all over the world. People of respect and admiration, and they all respected and admired Ryuunosuke. He was a kind and merciful soul. He was a champion of peace. His name began to spread and his group was given the name of the Dragon's Den. While his fame grew and more and more people joined his cause, Ryuunosuke grew less kind. His merciful nature, after years of being tested, began wearing away when he was seventeen. The change was slow and gradual. Many didn't notice it, Ryuunosuke to this day hasn't noticed it, but somewhere along the line he stopped sparing his enemies. But it didn't matter by that point. He had a small army of loyal followers, positioned all over the world. Dragon's Den was becoming big enough for the Kages of the Hidden Villages to take notice. But by then it was already too late. All they needed to create a new world order was a spark. They had many thousands of supporters and the potential to gain hundreds of thousands. The idea of world peace and global harmony was enticing, after all. The message they preached was that only through unity could everyone come to a mutual understanding. Only by coming together could mankind be strong enough to carry on. The spark came when the leader of Amegakure publicly cast the seven prominent members of Dragon's Den out of the village. He claimed they were a cancer to the world, that they would only cause global warfare if they continued on their path. He demanded they leave his village and never step foot in it again. A fifteen year-old Ryuunosuke would've accepted the man's decision and demonstrated his kindness and understanding by leaving. But Ryuunosuke was nineteen now. He no longer spared his enemies. Amegakure was the first to be taken in. His army of supporters only grew, making Dragon's Den a very important and very powerful organization. This prompted a name change, at the behest of Ryuunosuke himself. If they were to lead the people fairly it could not be left up to one person. Instead there would be a council at the top, an oligarchy. These nations would become one big confederation, Ryuu proposed. And from that day forward began the rise of the Hamajō Confederation. The rest is history. In less than a year the Hamajō Confederation was able to secure all the Hidden Villages, forcing their respective countries into submission. Each nation in the Confederation was represented by one of the original six members of the organization, with Ryuunosuke serving as the President of the Council and accordingly the President of the Hamajō Confederation. Their victory was celebrated across the world by their armies and supporters, but their work was not yet complete. The world was not yet properly unified. Enemies to the peace still existed. He was so young then, practically ruling the world before he was even twenty. Times have changed, he has changed. What was once a kind boy has grown into a hardened man. Peace could not be maintained through kindness, he reasoned. It could only be kept through order, loyalty, and force. This was unanimously agreed by the entire Council. The groundwork for a prosperous future had been laid out, and to some extent it has succeeded over the past eleven years. Many people are happy and safe. But not everyone. The Red Sages, in particular, have been the biggest thorn in Ryuu's side. These violent and chaotic rebels. They failed to understand his vision, to understand what's best for them. Their mere existence was a sign: Ryuunosuke's utopia was far from complete. He hadn't achieved world peace yet. There was still more obstacles in his path. Even after unifying all the nations he still had enemies. And Ryuunosuke doesn't spare his enemies anymore. 【Family ties】 Nobody knows what his family life was like. When asked, Ryuu says that he loved his parents but they had passed away when he was only eight. He also says that he had no siblings. 【Dreams and fears】 The hopes and dreams of Lord Hamajō are no secret: his greatest wish is to unify the entire world in a peaceful, prosperous utopia. He has already made great strides towards accomplishing this and shows no signs of changing his mind. His fears, on the other hand, are less known. First and foremost would be the fear of the Confederation collapsing. But, after that, he is known to be paranoid of his own organization for traitors, constantly ordering investigations in an attempt to expose any and all assassination plots against him. A small fear he has that is only known by the select few he had begun the Hamajō Confederation with is his mild fear of crowds and public speaking. This is something he can keep under control, but he is always visibly uncomfortable when surrounded by many people. This also relates to his paranoia. 【Songs】 The Dragon's Name (Instrumental) The Hero's Path The Villain's Way The Conqueror's Blade (Instrumental) “Being the strongest man in the world isn't easy, but I wouldn't have it any other way.” Katsuko is not built lithe like most ninja, instead having a tall and muscular body. His extra bulk is always apparent regardless of garments. His signature red hair makes him easily identifiable, if his size wasn't already a good enough indicator. He often wears only the clothes depicted in the picture above, but he also wears white or black shirts with the Konoha emblem emblazoned on the chest as well as red jackets whenever he is not in combat. He only removes the jacket when he gets into a fight. Personnel files.

Prides itself on producing powerful shinobi, though far too small of a family to compete with larger clans. 【Rank】 Jounin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Bold, confident, and determined. Katsuko is a man of pride who values strength just as much as he values honesty and loyalty. He doesn't withhold his opinion aside from rare circumstances and is surprisingly a capable listener to the opinions of others. He treats others with respect, though his confidence sometimes dips into cockiness when addressing those who challenge him. Many find him to be a reliable person, the kind of guy who will fulfill a promise if he makes one. He will talk tough, and everyone knows he is strong, but he is never quite intimidating. He is just light-hearted enough to make him fun to be around but still capable of being serious when it is required of him. 【History】 Born to a simple family in a simple home, Katsuko was raised to become a shinobi like his father, Jinkama. His mother and father took in his older cousin when she was nine and Katsuko was six, due to her parents' tragic deaths in the field as shinobi. Between him, his father, and his cousin, the Moto household had plenty of shinobi and training together. While Jinkama had always been a prodigious swordsman, Katsuko and his cousin Keiko turned out to be geniuses in their own respective fields of taijutsu and ninjutsu respectively. As Keiko and Katsuko became older teens the Hamajo Confederation took over. Katsuko was only a chuunin at the time but still tried his best to defend Konoha alongside his family and comrades. But the opposing army was too great and the order to surrender was given once Konoha's leaders had been slain. The Choko siblings that were in control had perished and the jounin commander disappeared without a trace, forcing the cooperation of the rest of Konoha's forces. After a while Katsuko grew accustomed to the new way of life. But his father never did. Jinkama was one of the first to join the Red Sages, secretly leading operations against the Confederation as a senior officer. It wasn't until Katsuko was already 22 years old and a fresh jounin himself that his father was finally found out. In an ambush attack he was struck a mortal blow, killing him later that night from his blood loss and damaged heart. In his dying hours he confessed his plans and ideals to Katsuko and his cousin, spurring them both into action. The Confederation came to their house the next day, retrieving Jinkama's body and subjecting the entire Moto family to a thorough investigation. They passed and were let go, but were put under watch for several months following the event. After his leash had been loosened, Katsuko joined the Red Sages and brought his cousin along too. Unlike their father they were young and unfit for leadership. This made it easier to stay under the radar, but it meant they were only grunts in the grand scheme of things. Over the past few years they have made their way up the ladder, earning respect from their peers for their strength and skill as shinobi. Lately Katsuko has become interested in taking a leadership role for the cause, much like his father did before him. Only this time he has made sure to cover all his bases and prioritize the secrecy of his plans, which his father clearly failed at. Only time will tell how this strong, determined young man will affect the outcome of the brewing civil war. 【Family ties】 Growing up in a tight-knit household, one would expect Katsuko to be very close with his family. But considering every member of his family is largely independent, they are actually quite distant despite their good standings. Whether it is out of stubbornness or laziness, one cannot tell. But the Moto family rarely gathers, but when they do they all appreciate and respect each other like any functioning family would. Jinkama Moto \| Father \| Died at 49, former jounin in Konoha's armed forces. Akira Moto \| Mother \| 50, Konohagakure, owns a grocery store and is generally respected by her community. Keiko Moto \| Cousin \| 29, Konohagakure, jounin and older cousin that Katsuko grew up with. 【Dreams and fears】 Katsuko has a few dreams including establishing himself as the strongest man in the world and seeing the Red Sage's cause through to the end, to create a world where everyone is free and capable of autonomy. When it comes to fears he may seem to be fearless, but Katsuko fears humiliation above all else. Even death does not muster fear in his heart like his name being brought to shame. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Katsuko is a taijutsu master, brutalizing his foes through sheer power and speed. While his ranged options are limited, he has little difficulty in closing any gaps of range to maximize his offensive prowess. His durability and sheer determination is nothing to shake a stick at either, allowing him to tank blows in order to easier land hits on his foes. While his strength is already something fearsome, he is known to exploit his opponent to tip the scales even further in his favor. He may not be the brightest bulb but he sure is the toughest, and he knows it. Expect a beating from hell if you dare cross Katsuko. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Chikaroatoshi Description: An ocular kekkei genkai, like the Sharingan or Byakugan. By using his eyes as a medium, Katsuko is able to access the chakra of his opponents through their eyes (tapping into the first two of the Eight Gates). This allows Katsuko to steal his foe's chakra simply through eye contact. The range does not matter, as it is eye contact at any range, but the duration of contact that determines the loss. An inept user may drain chakra slowly, but someone as versed as Katsuko can drain an enemy of their entire chakra pool in less than ten seconds of maintained eye contact. The chakra that is siphoned goes directly into Katsuko's system, powering him further and allowing him to demonstrate more strength and speed on top of gaining more stamina. A crafty and debilitating ability, but not the most stealthy. When using this ability, Katsuko's eyes turn from red to gold and have a faint glow. This can be considered a warning, as any and all eye contact made with him at that point will drain chakra, regardless of whether they are friend or foe. Strengths: The ability to drain chakra from an enemy at a distance, without prior contact, is a pretty good strength. It stacks further when one considers that Katsuko can effectively grow faster and stronger through the duration of a battle while his foes grow weaker and more tired at a much greater rate than they normally would. Weaknesses: An obvious way to avoid losing chakra is to avoid eye contact. If one makes eye contact and then breaks it off, the siphoning is broken off as well. Chakra may drain at an alarming rate, which experienced shinobi will feel and realize quickly that Katsuko is draining them, thus allowing them to avert their gaze before they reach the point of passing out. Avoiding eye contact altogether prevents any less of chakra. However, an actual weakness here, Katsuko can only absorb so much energy before he would overload. This amount is incredibly high, however, and would require many, many shinobi to accomplish. A more realistic alternative is to make him absorb "unsafe" chakra, such as Natural Chakra, which Katsuko's body would be unable to withstand in quantity. If he somehow overloads or absorbs a substantial amount of unsafe chakra, then his chakra system will be disabled and he would likely die. 【Ninja techniques】 S rank techniques: One Thousand Eyes Technique A rank techniques: Chakra Enhanced Strength Great Cataclysm B rank techniques: Earth Release: Earth Spear Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall C rank techniques: Earth Release: Hiding Like a Mole Technique D-E rank techniques: Academy Techniques Vantage Strike 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: One Thousand Eyes Technique Rank: S Range: Self ; Line of Sight (range irrelevant) Description: This is Katsuko's ace-in-the-hole, his ultimate technique if you will. It requires no handseals to activate but takes five seconds to properly manifest. Throughout the five seconds of warm-up many dozens of eye tattoos appear across his entire body. At the five second mark the black tattoos all turn golden and activate. These become conduits for Katsuko's eyes. Being that Katsuko is now looking through many angles around him all at once, it leaves him with no visual blind spots. However the true power of this technique doesn't lie in visual acuity but instead by serving as a medium for his Kekkei Genkai. While normally a foe may be able to fight to some degree by avoiding eye contact with Katsuko, this technique makes that almost impossible. Looking at him at all will result in losing chakra, fast. Even more so: this allows him to steal chakra from many people all at once. Naturally this means his strength, speed, and chakra pool increase at a staggering magnitude of order. Whether he is fighting one man or an entire army it does not matter. The downside to this technique lies in its strength: by absorbing chakra at a much higher rate he gets closer to overloading on "unsafe" chakra at a much higher rate as well. A seemingly simple but devastatingly powerful technique in all, generally reserved for situation when Katsuko is heavily outnumbered but can be used if faced against a sly opponent that refuses to lose their chakra. It is worth noting that this will also steal chakra from allies, as Katsuko's eyes cannot pick-and-choose who they steal from. ANYONE who looks at him will lose their power. Jutsu name: Great Cataclysm Rank: A Range: Short Description: An attack that utilizes Katsuko's Saihyousen weapon. By using it's incredible weight and Katsuko's incredible strength, an earth-shattering slam attack is performed after leaping into the air. While the attack is clearly telegraphed and easy to read, it is regarded as A rank due to the sheer damage output. A direct hit is fatal, and even a miss can deal severe damage due to the shockwaves and shattering earth. The impact is like a small earthquake and can disrupt the balance and focus of both friend and foe alike. An imposing attack that is mostly for striking fear into his enemies through demonstration of force rather than getting the direct hit, though it isn't very slow so direct hits can happen with grotesque result. Jutsu name: Vantage Strike Rank: D Range: Short Description: An opening punch from a stealthy approach. This is often Katsuko's entry into a battle. Using the element of surprise a heavy punch is delivered to the solar plexus (from the front) or the spine (from the back) depending on angle. Can easily defeat a foe by itself, only the hardiest of people will can take the hit. Dodging it is the best way to go for sure. Like seriously, dodge this fucking punch or it's over before it begins. Don't test Katsuko, you don't want to even try to block this shit. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Saihyousen Weapon, tool or object type: Massive Clubbing-type Weapon Description: An incredibly heavy weapon that very few can wield. A three meter long steel rod with half its length fitted with two solid steel spheres. This makes the handle a meter-and-a-half and the striking area the same length. This massive weapon weighs a literal ton, meaning that for the few like Katsuko who can swing it it will provide terrifying power behind every blow. Not only does its sheer size and imposing figure strike fear into his foes but just one swing is often all it will take to make an opposing force surrender. Nobody wants to die from being crushed and having all their bones broken simultaneously. Katsuko keeps this weapon sealed in a small scroll he keeps on his belt, as carrying it around would be awkward and uncomfortable. He can wield it without Chakra Enhanced Strength or using his Kekkei Genkai, but without either his attacks become slow and easy to dodge. With his "buffs" active he can wield this behemoth like a samurai would wield a katana. “I just have to keep trying, I guess...” First and foremost, Mirai's most striking feature is not her blue hair, the scar on her nose, her red eye, or even her blind left eye. It is her left arm, or rather the lack thereof. When out of the house she has a metal prosthetic arm in its place to allow her to keep functioning as a shinobi. While her stature is generally slim, not having any more muscle than she needs to lift her own weight and move around at an acceptable speed, her prosthetic arm is a bit bulkier than her real one. As for clothes she generally wears the garments depicted in the picture above but is known to wear dresses on fancy occasions or wear heavier clothes on chilly days. Due to wearing heels many think she is of average height but she is actually on the short side, standing at a mere 158cm tall. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Pragmatic, cynical, and doubtful. Mirai has a bad habit where she doesn't have much self-respect or self-confidence. She is quick to rely on others, both in and out of combat. While she is weak-willed that isn't to say she has no will at all. In fact she can be very stubborn and determined when pushed hard enough to rely on herself. This can come across as almost hypocritical, as her passive and depressing personality would make one think she would be unable to actually try to do anything. To that same effect, once Mirai has actually bolstered her will she casts away pride, honor, and any other emotion that would impair her actions. There is no such thing as a "low blow" to her. If she has to fight, she will go to whatever length it takes to survive or kill her opponent, depending on the situation. She isn't prone to rage, but many think that she enters an enraged state due to her ferocity even though her actual emotion would be more akin to panic or fear. 【History】 Born to the wealthy Yumiya family, Mirai was raised just as one would expect from her class. Most of the parenting she received was from household servants, particularly her personal servant Aneka, while her real parents were too busy. Busy with what? Her father, Makoto, has been a part of the Hamajo Confederation since its early days. Nobody knows what he does, exactly, but he had supplied his fortune when it was first starting up. He doesn't seem to do much anymore yet still holds prestige and position among the government for his support. Now Mirai's mother, on the other hand, had even less of an excuse. She had no job. She instead dedicated her life to knowledge, reading as many books as she could even at the cost of family time. So that was her early childhood. She received in-home education, private tutoring from Aneka, for several years. But, as she began to mature, she realized that she didn't enjoy her life. It was boring, dull, had no meaning. Her family wasn't loving, she had no friends, and had no talents. When Mirai was eight years old she decided she would go to Konohagakure to learn how to become a shinobi at their academy. Naturally her parents were against the idea initially, but it was evident they had some kind of love or bond with their child for they eventually relented and granted her wish. Since there was no family in Konoha nor could her parents spare the time to go with her, Mirai was attended by Aneka for the "duration of her stay in Konohagakure." And so the two traveled. Mirai began attending the Ninja Academy and so did Aneka, despite the fact the servant was already a full-grown woman. Aneka Toyama figured she would need to learn the shinobi arts if she wanted to properly care for and protect Mirai. The young girl became a genin at the age of 12, but it was apparent that she was not particularly... skilled. She was among the bottom ranks of her class and despite growing over the years never really improved at the same rate her classmates did. At first it frustrated her, but after a while it became something she felt accustomed to. She was given low-expectations, little respect, and barely any time of the day. Ironically it was nothing new to her. Mirai couldn't make any progress as a genin until she was sixteen. A mission went horribly wrong. The squad she was in was supposed to eradicate a bandit camp. But somehow, some way, the two chuunin and one genin were not prepared enough for the battle. Once her squadmates had been defeated and captured, Mirai attempted to flee but to no avail. She simply wasn't fast enough to escape or strong enough to break free. The resulting beating she received ended up putting a scar across the bridge of her nose and leaving her blind in one eye. The bandits later tortured the teenagers, trying to extract information out of them. Mirai attempted to escape during her interrogation, prompting an angry and violent response from her captors and resulting in the loss of her left arm. That night the squad was rescued by a (better) team of shinobi. After the bandits had all been killed or captured, Mirai was given medical treatment but they could not find her severed arm to attempt to reattach it. She was later told that it was the Red Sages who had done this damage to her, and that it was likely her career as a shinobi was over. Her hampered vision and physical capability made the Confederation put her on indefinite standby, a polite way to say early retirement. While Mirai seemed accepting of her fate, her servant Aneko (who has been a chuunin for a while by now) knew that she was heartbroken. Rather than let her resign to her fate, Aneko contacted her parents back in Amegakure to update them on her situation and get their help. And as such Makoto ordered the construction of a prosthetic arm that wouldn't just fully replace Mirai's original but exceed it's capability in terms of utility. If she was going to be a kunoichi then she was going to be a good one, and a good kunoichi needs good armaments. And arms. Mirai was shocked when she finally received the prosthetic, amazed at how well it worked and how useful it was. With a new motivation to get back into the game, Mirai began trying her best to work her way up the ranks. After receiving a new arm and undergoing intensive training with Aneko she finally made it to chuunin rank at seventeen, granted it was by the skin of her teeth. Nevertheless she was proud of her accomplishment, despite her monotone demeanor and the disapproving looks of her comrades. Her next goal is to become jounin, though considering the slow climb so far she isn't deluding herself over the difficulty and time it will take. 【Family ties】 Mirai's family was never particularly close or intimate. Father was always busy, mother was always locked away by herself with her books, and Mirai was always left to her own devices. Most of her care was seen through family servants rather than her parents. While Mirai can't say she "loves" her family, she does hold a natural soft spot in her heart for them. The only time they really spent together was dinnertime and holidays. Otherwise they were all alone, despite living in the same house. Makoto Yumiya \| Father \| 42, Amegakure, his exact job is unclear but he seems to be a part of some kind of committee established by the Confederation. Chiyuri Yumiya \| Mother \| 36, Amegakure, housewife who owns a whole library full of books that is always growing. Aneka Toyama \| Personal Servant \| 29, Amegakure, Mirai's personal maid that has taken care of her since she was a toddler. No blood relation. 【Dreams and fears】 In her depressing state, Mirai doesn't have many dreams. But, despite what she may say or feel, deep down inside she wants to become someone worthy of respect. Someone for others to look up to, like a role model or a hero. While she has a lack of dreams, she has no lack of fears. Ranging from the mundane such as bugs and dark places to the more serious fears such as having no friends, having no family, and even dying. Death is what she fears above all else. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Mirai doesn't have impressive taijutsu, ninjutsu, or genjutsu skills. To combat her general lack of natural talent she has come to rely on weapons and tactics. She is proficient with many kinds of weapons and tools, using her skills and her arsenal to her advantage to combat her physically superior opponents. She prefers to keep range and use surprise attacks, making her a bag of tricks that could be potentially fatal to the unwary or overconfident. Mirai may come across as underwhelming but perhaps that truly is her greatest asset. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: N/A B rank techniques: Self Destruct C rank techniques: Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder Lightning Release: Lightning Rod Poison Spike D-E rank techniques: Hidden Needle Cannon Academy Techniques 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Poison Spike Rank: C Range: Short Description: A hidden spike lathered in a neurotoxin is propelled from the palm of her mechanical arm, reaching a full length of four inches. It pops out at high speed so as to punch through thin armor or cloth as well as breaking the opponents skin. Very useful as a surprise attack when the enemy is close. The spike will be retracted after half a second, concealing it and allowing full use of her hand again. The toxin itself can be lethal in large doses (i.e. stabbed multiple times) but most victims will survive even without medical assistance. The toxin numbs the target over time, eventually reaching the point where they have incredible difficulty controlling their body. In higher doses it even affects their thought processes as their brain is numbed as well. A single stab can't defeat an enemy unless they are small and have a fast metabolism, but two or three stabs will be enough to bring down an average-sized adult over the course of five to ten minutes. Four doses or more is when it starts to become dangerous, becoming lethal to the average-sized adult at six (that is: without proper medical attention). Jutsu name: Hidden Needle Cannon Rank: D Range: Short-Medium Description: As compared to the hidden spike coming from the mechanical arm's palm, these needles fire from the outside of the forearm in a wide volley. A total of twenty senbon are shot out all at once, much like an open choke shotgun blast. Naturally the lack of accuracy hinders the effective range, but the senbon can travel over 100m from the propulsion. However, actually hitting a target at that range isn't feasible. Rather it is perfect for a painful surprise on an advancing enemy within 10m. The wide spray practically guarantees damage and the unexpected angle of attack adds versatility. Once the senbon are fired this attack cannot be used until Mirai reloads her arm, which is better done outside of battle due to the tedious nature. Jutsu name: Self Destruct Rank: B Range: Medium - 20m radius Description: If desperate times call for desperate measures, Mirai can use her prosthetic arm as a bomb. As it is loaded with explosives, all it takes for her to activate the countdown is her own will and some chakra. Once triggered it has a three second countdown before detonation. This gives Mirai just enough time to detach the arm and reach a distance she where she will survive the shockwave and avoid the explosion itself. Once the timer is started it cannot be cancelled, but thankfully it can only be started by Mirai thanks to her chakra connection with the arm. An obvious downside is that Mirai loses her better arm from using this technique, and it took a good while for it to be built the first time. Getting another could take up to two weeks, leaving her weak and unfit for duty for that duration. Debatably the bigger weakness would be the possibility of her not getting out of the blast zone in time, as the fuse is short and the range is wide. Thankfully she's had some practice and could probably make it. Probably. Same goes for any opponents who realize what is going on. They, too, have the same three seconds to make a break for it. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Left Arm Weapon, tool or object type: An advanced, mechanical prosthetic arm that Mirai uses during her waking hours. Description: Made of steel and powered by chakra, this arm is far superior to the one Mirai had lost. Not only is it incredibly durable and stable, but it also has multiple hidden weapons integrated into the forearm for surprise attacks. It houses a mechanism that fires a brief volley of senbon, contains a hidden poison-tipped spike, and even multiple exploding tags that will detonate if the arm is severed from Mirai (again). It also boasts significantly higher strength as compared to her right arm, as the entire left arm up to the shoulder is prosthetic. Notably it also weighs a respectable amount, adding onto Mirai's total weight on a scale to make her seem much bulkier than she actually is. Despite this weight it moves at an identical speed to her right arm, though because it is made of metal it packs much greater force behind every movement. Weapon, tool, or object name: Kunai Weapon, tool, or object type: Kunai Description: They're fucking kunai. Weapon, tool, or object name: Shuriken Weapon, tool, or object type: Shuriken Description: They're not fucking kunai. Weapon, tool, or object name: Smoke Bombs Weapon, tool, or object type: Smoke Bombs Description: Small bombs that explode into smoke, useful for many things. Direct hits don't really hurt anyone though, unfortunately. Can be attached to kunai for greater distance on throws. Weapon, tool, or object name: Ninjato Weapon, tool, or object type: Ninjato Description: A short sword with a straight blade, positioned horizontally across the back of Mirai's waist. Useful for, surprise, cutting things. This is Mirai's primary method of self-defense should an opponent get too close for her comfort.

Can be attached to kunai for a flashy surprise.
51,173	1,381	80	800	3,846	Chokurou held a relax posture against the back wall of the conference room. His fingers interlocked behind his head and a foot against the wood finish behind him. He surveyed those in the conference room. Many looked like they had a few bruises and broken bones but most seemed unscathed, which was the group he would currently classify under. He was a fresh recruit who had been thrown into the shit on the first day. Interesting way to welcome in a new recruit but things could always be worse. He managed to take down a few in the fight but for the most part the fighting was closest to the ox-pulling competition. He didn't see much action but he was ok with that. To him, that meant he would have another chance to prove himself useful. He looked down at the...thing behind the table. It was cat-like; tail and ears. He thought at first it was some kid with a cat fetish but soon enough he learned that "it" was their general commander, a powerful shinobi and a dangerous one to boot. He exhaled through his nose before turning his attention next to the shinobi to his side and held out hand. "Heya. The name is Akimichi Chokashi, nice to meet you." He greeted in a muffled voice. Definitely not the best time to introduce himself but it was worth the try. (A/N To whoever wishes to strike up a conversation with him)	"Oh yeah. Teriyaki beef with broccoli and rice. Nice snack after a hard workout.” Being of Akimichi descent it is no surprise that his has an above average frame. Cho stands at around 1.97 meters and 145 kg. Unlike most "fatties" however, Cho's weight is distributed fairly equally with the only difference is having slightly more weight in the front. Starting from his head he has short light brown hair along the sides and back, almost like a fade, with much more on top that he likes to comb back. His eyes are of a medium shade of brown. Around his mouth is a small stubble of a goatee that is usually well kept and neat. As most Akimichi, Cho adorns the traditional war paint. For him it is a red bar that goes from his chin to his lower lip and two bars on both sides of his eyes that run to the sides of his cheekbones and down. He usually wears black sandals and grey combat pants, rolled and taped near the top of the sandal. On the upper torso he adorns a long blue sleeve shirt with a mesh undershirt. A grey trench coat is worn over the long sleeve shirt and resembles that of what Chouji Akimichi wore. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 When he was young he was short tempered and quick to fight but now, Chokurou is a polite, playful and proud member of the Akimichi clan as he is usually seen helping in some way with the Akimichi affairs whether showing hospitality for the leaders of other clans when they visit or something as simple as helping family train. Unlike his cousin, Chokashi, who is usually seen as the more social one of the two, Chokurou is more on the reserved side in social settings, tending to let others start the conversation before speaking up. Despite his reserved personality, he is quick with his wit and that only adds to his charm. He doesn't usually say no to helping a friend unless there is something important going on in the Akimichi compound. Chokurou on his days off can usually be found at the Akimichi training grounds, the hot springs in the area or any of the hibachi in the area. Chokurou usually wears a smile on his face and has a somewhat loose posture when in a calm setting or situation such as being with friends and whatnot. He can be a bit of a drinker and this is thanks to Chokashi on Chokurou's 20th birthday when he went shot for shot with his cousin which landed hem both on their asses. Usually when drinking with friends he is a bit more talkative thanks to the obvious fact that liquor is involved but it's when he's drunk that he is more unpredictable. Chokurou tends to tense in more stressful situations but mostly can only be seen in his eyes since they are the first to show signs that he is worried, annoyed or angry, falling back onto a smile when angered. His views of the confederation and the Red Sages are usually kept to himself. When he went into the academy school he was aware that he would be working for the Confederation but the Akimichi, including Chokurou, and the Nara clans could care less about confederation and rather the safety of Konohagakure. If they are called upon they will fight for the Confederation but their concerns will mostly be for Konaha. 【History】 The story for a lot of those in the Akimichi clan are similar in their early years, revolving around being teased for their weight and whatnot and for Chokurou it was no different. His mother always taught him that he was to respect others in order to be respected but kids are kids and they don't usually listen and as such Chokurou never hesitated in fighting back, especially those who disrespected him or his family. This mindset of "hit first ask questions later" would cause problems in the academy even though physical training included sparring it didn't include sending kids to the hospital. Cho would come home to find his parents talking to the academy teacher about his behavior and would be immediately punished and sent to the training grounds to train for X amount of hours until his father felt he was ready or told to help out around the compound on the weekends when his friend, a young Nara, would be available to hangout. Many would think that his punishment was a bit too extreme but the Akimichi never strayed from the old ways as far as training went. Monitored by his cousin, Chokashi, he would learn from his cousin how to fight his way. Chokashi told him "So what if your fat or your mother and father are? Why do the Inuzuka have dog features or why does the Aburame Clan hide their faces? Because that's what makes them who they are. Don't forget that." Years would go on with this running through Cho's head as he slowly started to incorporate this into his mindset. The first few times after Chokashi talked with him he didn't get it until he started to take notice to the different clans and saw the similarities that Chokashi had told him. Slowly he started to except who he was and no longer let this bother him. By graduation he had already seen close to 60 fights and the fights stopped closer to graduation. After graduation and he was placed in a team, he increased his training with his cousin and his father while beginning to learn what he would do within the clan. Time would go by and Chokurou would become much more involved with the clan's affairs so time with friends would lessen or become rather dull due to his mind focusing more-so on what was happening politically with the Akimichi, specifically to the recent happenings between the Red Sages and the Confederation. He still has the mindset of remaining neutral in the whole matter but he knows he has to do what konaha asks of him. 【Family ties】 The Akimichi are a close nit, traditional family, usually taking care of one another first before moving out towards the community, minus the Hokage or whoever was in charge at the time. Usually politics and such remain in the compound unless the clan leader says otherwise. The clan has not currently come up with a concrete decision on which side they stand for between the Red Sages and the Confederation but have opted for the answer of protecting the citizens of Konohagakurefrom anything that may put them in danger. Besides that the Akimichi clan has, after 200 years, maintained their relations with both the Nara Clan and the Yamanaka Can. Chokashi Akimichi \| Cousin (Surrogate Brother) \| 30, Akimichi Compound (Konohagakure), Jonin. Chokashi considers Chokurou as his "little brother" and has taught him what he knows as far as combat especially the Buddhist Palm and helped break him from his wall flower attitude. Choujiro Akimichi \| Father \| 51, Akimichi Compound (Konohagakure), Jonin and Advisor to Clan Leader. Chizuzu Akimichi \| Mother \| 48, Akimichi Compound (Konohagakure), Cooking Ninja and took him how to cook for friends and family as well as taking pride in his work. 【Dreams and fears】 He wants to be not the best ninja or whatever but rather a member of the ANBU Black Ops with the codename "Bear". But everyone can have dreams. He fears another great war like the one Naruto and Chouji and the great eleven had to deal with. Losing friends and family in that way would be his worst fear. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Chokurou is quite the powerhouse thanks to the training his father and cousin put him through. He is able to take a beating and continue forwards while providing heavy blows and powerful jutsu. He has no problem getting close and starting a grappling game or staying back and on the defensive. Cho's signature, much like his cousin, is the Buddhist palm, a powerful jutsu that can be used directly or at a distance and can be combined with a few of the Akimichi secret jutsu as well. His stance is basic with left hand open while his right remains closed. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: N/A B rank techniques: Chōharite Baika no Jutsu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu C rank techniques: Bubun Baika no Jutsu Doton: Moguragakure no Jutsu Nikudan Sensha D-E rank techniques: Knows basic academy Jutsu 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Akimichi Style: Buddhist Palm Rank: A Range: Touch - 17 meters (pending chakra imput) Description: How it is made: Chakra is concentrated in the palm of the hand and condensed to a fine point. Once it is at the users liking, it is forcibly released from the palm outwards in a cone like shape. From max distance it is enough to knock back an opponent and cause loss of breath. Half the max distance has enough force to knock back single or multiple targets a few meters with a chance to cause disorientation and/or loss of hearing. Direct impact and up to 1.8 meters is enough to shatter bones, rupture organs, cause brain damage or death but once again this also depends on the amount of chakra used and its density. Appearance: When forming it gives off a light golden hue before turning into a bright gold at the center of the palm. It can also turn to a whitish-gold but this is mostly at a higher level of mastery that Cho has not reached yet. When released, a quick flash of white followed by a dark gold cone-like beam is shot outward, enveloping those in its path. Sound: When forming, it's sound is relatable to that of a group of monks meditating (humming or whatever it's called) and then when released, sounds very similar to multiple gongs being hit in unison. Weakness: Like the Akimichi human boulder technique, it is limited in direction as it is a linear attack. Also thanks to how powerful the attack is. It is very taxing on the user's chakra, allowing the use of this move limited to a few times. For Cho, 4 times is max before chakra exhaustion. The best way to negate this attack is with any high powered wind attacks. 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Earth Style: Terra Vice Rank: C Range: Up to 17 meters Description: Chakra is gathered into the users hand and then thrust into the ground. The chakra disperses throughout the ground. Once the target is in range. Earth is infused with the chakra and juts out of the ground in the form of what can be described as a bear-trap like vise. The snap of the jaw like rock is enough to strain and muscles, pending if the target is trapped and struggles to free themselves. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Three Coloured Pills (Sanshoku no Gan'yaku). Weapon, tool or object type: Tool: Pills Description: The Three Coloured Pills are secret medicines used by the Akimichi clan. As the name suggests, there are three pills, each with a different colour. First is the green Spinach Pill (Hōrengan), next is the yellow Curry Pill (Karēgan), and last is the red Chilli Pill (Tongarashigan). By forcibly converting the body's fat reserves into chakra, each successive pill ingested gives a tremendous power boost. The Chilli Pill is even said to increase one's power a hundred times. However, the pills have a drawback. Each pill damages the body, poisoning it and since the third pill converts all of one's fat reserves, the user will become dangerously emaciated. It is said that after the third pill, death is imminent. However the Nara Clan has done extensive research on the pills since the Fourth Shinobi War and have lessened the negative effects of the first two pills and have managed to lower the risk of death in the third pill by 20%. Still, this doesn't change the fact that the colored pills are still dangerous as the first two still have the negative drawbacks as they did in the past even if it has been decreased. The first pill can last about 5-6 posts and the second can 2-3 posts. However, because the chili pepper is so potent, it can only last 1-2 posts. Weapon, tool or object name: Hikaze Weapon, tool or object type: . Description: Size/Appearance: 180cm in height and 11cm in diameter. Both ends expand outwards to much larger cylinders, each approximately 20.32cm in diameter. Each side is engraved with one of the kanji for the elements. One side is engraved with "Fire" and the other side with "Wind" Make: Chakra infused materials and alloys that allow for flexibility and versatility as well as speed and damage capabilities by adding such natural affinities to the staff such as wind and fire (one at each end). Abilties: Chakra can be pumped into the Staff to provide a burst of fire at one end or a blast of wind on the other. Weapon, tool or object name: Kunai Weapon, tool or object type: Throwing Knife Description: Standard Konahagakure issued throwing knife. Weapon, tool or object name: Shuriken Weapon, tool or object type: Throwing Star Description: Standard Konahagakure issued throwing star. Weapon, tool or object name: Explosive Tags Weapon, tool or object type: Ninja Utility Description: Standard Konahagakure issued explosive tags. They are infused with chakra and on command will explode.
51,174	1,381	81	1,306	383	Setsuko Casually Around The Damaged Compound • Heading for Suna The Hamajo Confederation - - Before Setsuko could wave goodbye to the silver-haired male he had already started to walk off. She had stared at him for a few seconds as he walked away wondering what his name was so as not to continue calling him "that one silver-haired guy", but figured she'd get another chance later on to ask him. As Higoho began making his furious way toward them Setsuko's annoyance level was increasing when she had turned back to the other at the fact that Tetsuya had thought that she was flirting with him. His reaction alone to what she had done was clear enough, and on top of that Higoho had started to spout his nonsense once more about something that she had no idea of. This time though she was somehow involved as he yelled her name out loud for everyone around them to hear, and followed that up with pointing at the person she stood by. As Higoho said that the person offended their clan she glanced toward that person wondering if he had actually said what he was accused of saying, and would find out that it was indeed true when he began apologizing. Tired of how the day had played out Setsuko leaned over to go under one of Tatsuya's outstretched arms, and walk in front of him as she raised the kunai she still had in her hand inches from his face. "Don't ever talk about the Hyuga clan the way you did again." Even if she was confused as to what exactly he had said she made sure to be as clear as she could. "Otherwise I'll cut your peepee off, and shove it up your arse." "AND YOU," Setsuko turned to Higoho who seemed to think he had more authority than he actually did have. "I'm pretty sure you're not in any position to order me around bastard. You're strong, but tell me how many main house members acknowledge that?" It's not like she had planned to say what she had said since she wasn't one to be rude to her fellow clansman, but her annoyance with the whole situation was the fuel to her words. With that, Setsuko lowered the kunai still inches from Tetsuya's face, and put it in her pocket as they had gotten news of a Confederation meeting in Sunagakure. It wasn't often she'd go visit Suna village, so the news was the bright light at the end of the dark tunnel in a way. After that fiasco she began walking away from the group to make that grand exit she was waiting to make for the longest time, and began heading towards the meeting without helping anyone else around the destroyed festival. Before she had left the ruined festival Setsuko would make sure all of the necessary tools were still on her, and would simply count what was left when she would reach the meeting room. On accident, she had taken the wrong route as she got distracted by a small restaurant that, upon further inspection, had a bizarre look to its food. Still wanting to try some despite how it looked Setsuko sold one of her kunai since she had left her wallet at home, and got to pay for her food that way. It didn't take long to eat, but of course the time it did take was the time she'd have to make up which, of course, she didn't. Because of that little scene Setsuko had arrived right before Yakoul was to get everyone to shut up. As he continued to talk she would walk up some stairs to take a seat closer to the top of the meeting room. Mostly it was to avoid being too close to Yakoul, but it was also so she could have some space to check her weapons as the Commander talked. As she sat down Setsuko unhooked her pouch from her waist, and slammed her Windmill Shuriken on the table with a loud thud right when the cat-man was to say something else. Quickly after, she had regretted slamming the shuriken on the table due to the fact that the sound echoed, and because of that ended up sliding off of her chair to end up under the desk. Whoops, she simply mouthed as she peaked out from under right when Yakoul finished asking everyone if they had any questions, comments, and or/concerns about the battle that had just happened. That was close...	l0ck0n's Decent, Mundane yet badass because she's a Hyuga of a Character "Chains hold me hostage. The ransom? Death." Setsuko wears her headband traditionally on her forehead with wrapping under it, so in case the headband were to fall off the cursed seal of the Branch House would not show. Not only that, but she also leaves her bangs out of the headband, and has it on the left side while having the rest of her hair in a bun. Rarely does she ever leave her brown hair loose, but when she does the hair is roughly 17 inches long. She has two ear piercings, and wears black earrings. She wears a black scarf that she keeps on at all times, a sleeveless blouse that fits her perfectly, and arm sleeves that are cut to reveal her fingers. When it's could outside, or she's on a mission Setsuko wears a styled Haori under a worn-out Obi that a store manager gave her for less than it's original price. Because she's a cheap-stake. She wears the Obi even if she's not wearing the Haori to keep from showing her stomach since the blouse is cut 2 inches below the chest. For pants she wears light grey shorts that have loose, but small pockets. Underneath the shorts she wears thin leggings while finishing it off with the traditional Shinobi shoes. Her height is 5ft 5in, weighs 134lbs, and isn't thin whatsoever. Her build is more on the Mesomorph side what with her having some muscle on her bones yet she doesn't have too much muscle. Her face is longer than rounder, and she doesn't care if it gets a scrape or two. Even if Setsuko is into the decent fashion of a Shinobi she doesn't have too cute of a face being more rough around the edges making up for it with a small round nose, and light skin. Orchard of Mines Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Setsuko Hyūga 【Alias】 Nao 【Affiliation】 She is a shinobi to the Confederation, but isn't loyal to them. 【Age】 18 【Sex】 Female 【Sexuality】 Heterosexual 【Birthplace】 Konohagakure 【Bloodline】 Hyūga Clan 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Setsuko is nothing of the calm, cool, and collected type of Shinobi. She's quite short-tempered at times, and can be reckless either off the battle field or on it. Not only can she be reckless, but she can also be impulsive on the battlefield which tends to bring with it mistakes and such while not intending to do so. Even if she comes off quite strong, and well, rude to others she's actually soft-hearted, and is willing to strike up a conversation with anyone. Because she's willing to be social Setsuko is easygoing as well, and likes to crack a joke here and there without fully understanding that her jokes aren't as funny as she thinks they are. Despite taking most of her time to practice Setsuko likes to balance that out with being able to relax, and enjoy the smaller things in life like food. Food is her go-to thing to do as well as weapon shopping, and doesn't like to miss a moment of it. Even if Setsuko is easy going the battlefield excites her, and she likes to be the first one to enter it even if she hasn't gotten fully used to her fighting style since she doesn't always use the Gentle Fist. Because of this Setsuko likes to read different kinds of combat books to increase her knowledge, but seems to never finish one. Secretly, she likes to read romance books, and likes the idea of romance though she doesn't believe she'll ever find someone for herself because love in the real world to her doesn't exist. Setsuko doesn't easily trust people (males), and doesn't try to get too close to someone no matter if it's a possible friend, or a comrade. 【History】 Childhood - (0-6): Setsuko was born to a Hyūga Branch member for a mother, and a traitor Red Sage of a father. Her beginning years involved both her parents since her father at the time still made others believe he was someone else. Her mother had given up the Shinobi life at the young age of 20, and wanted to start a family. Even if she had put her ninja things away the Hyūga had still kept a close eye on her to see if her child would have the Kekkei Genkai. For a while her parents cared for her like any other parent would, and made sure she was as happy as any child should be in those years. At age 4 all of that would come to a halt. Sadly, she had been born with the Byakugan the Hyūga clan was waiting for, and was taken away from them to be given the cursed seal as well as be taken care of by the Branch House. Being a little girl she understood nothing, and would continue to understand nothing until years later. Right after she was taken her father had disappeared only to come back with a few members of the Red Sages. At night they would enter the Hyūga territory, and attempt to take back what was without knowing that she had already been given the cursed seal. The mission was unsuccessful, and the punishment was death for every single member including her father. Setsukos mother had been taken in under the accusation that she had been recruited by her father while they were together. Distraught, and furious her mother would become a shinobi once again to be able to get revenge on the rebel group who, in her theory, had used her to try to get the Byakugan for themselves. Through all of that Setsuko would stay, and train at the Branch house up to age 7 where she would then be sent to Ninja Academy. Base School Years - (6 to 10-14): While in the academy as well as in the care of the Branch house Setsuko only got to see her mother. She had no knowledge of her father, and at that she would not even be able to say his name. In the Academy she would get picked on by her strange eye color, and would pick fights herself since she was to take crap from no one. At one point she had met someone with a similar eye color as her who, come to find out later, was also a Hyūga. She would challenge him multiple times, but each time he'd turn the other way which made her angry. It was almost like he would make himself believe she never even existed. Not only that, but the bullies wouldn't touch him because of how strong he was, so she'd do what she could to prove that she could be as strong. Mostly to get the mean kids off of her back. Because that kept failing she decided to fight him head-on which ended in her losing horribly. Even if she had lost the bullying had calmed down since she had picked a fight with a strong kid, and would do her best to show the boy that she existed. High School Years - (10-14 to 14-18): Once she reached High School Setsuko would find out who her father was. Before she reached high school she was a determined little kid who would do anything to find him. Her mother had told her what had happened at age 13, or at least her version of it, and a year later would be killed on a classified mission. With her parents both gone Setsuko would train almost nonstop to help her deal with the emotions that came with her parents death. As Setsuko passed each grade she'd begin to question if what she was doing is right due to the fact that she had parents by the hands of the confederation no matter how one looks at it. In a sense she also felt that they had left her because of their own desires, so she decided to speak about neither of them from that day on since the only thing that came with their memory was pain. While in High School She would see the kid from time to time that beat her when they were little. She noticed that he was unusually strong yet didn't have the muscle for it which made her wonder what type of person he was. She had found out his name because he was quite the topics of discussion which was shocking to her, but had heard something different about it each time. At one point she had tried to strike up a conversation, but it ended badly; It didn't end in her getting beat up, but somehow the guy still managed to ignore her which, in her opinion, was time to call it quits. As graduation came her skills were better than average, but never as good as Higōhō Hyūga which would irritate her when she'd think about it. Not only that, but the Hamajo Confederation would monitor her in case she were to do something against them, and the Hyūga Main Branch would assure her that if she were to do anything out of the ordinary she would be killed. She was upset to know that what she wanted was not to be a Shinobi to the Hamajo Confederation yet to also know that she had no choice to. 【Family ties】 Setsuko at one point did have both parents, but now she lives alone in an apartment. Akane Hyūga \| Mother \| 23, Konohagakure, Shinobi to the confederation, deceased. Masao Akiyama \| Father \| 25, Red Sages, deceased. 【Dreams and fears】 Setsuko dreams of becoming a legendary Kunoichi despite her lack of talent. She hopes to one day become as amazing as the famed Neji Hyuga who was able to get past his fears, and become even stronger. Her main fear is to be abandoned once again by the people she loves/she is close to. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Setsuko doesn't use the Gentle Fist fighting style unless it is her last resort, or unless the squad leader demands it. The Kunoichi usually packs many different types of ninja weapons such as the exploding pouches, the Shuriken, the Windmill Shuriken (her favorite, and first resort), and the usual kunai. She usually uses these to fight with more often as well as close-combat fighting. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Byakugan Description: "The Byakugan is usually manifested as very distinctive eyes, characterized by their enlarged and featureless white/lavender irides with no visible pupils. While active, the pupils become more distinct and the veins near their temples bulge. The Byakugan gives the user a near 360º field of vision, except for one blind spot at the back of the neck above the first thoracic vertebra. The range of this vision varies between users and in fact can be improved with training." Strengths: Setsuko can reach a maximum range of 9 Kilometers. Weaknesses: At one point Setsuko trained for too long with the Byakugan to try, and master its abilities. Because she had trained nonstop with the Kekkei Genkai (Which is something no one is ever recommended to do) she has permanently strained her vision. The strain has handicapped her to where she may miss details while fighting. She refuses to wear specially made glasses for it. Not only that, but Setsuko doesn't know that the Byakugan has a blind spot. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Taijutsu Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms B rank techniques: Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Taijutsu Eight Trigrams Thirty Two Palms Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Taijutsu Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation : Setsuko can only hold this technique for a maximum of 10 seconds, and at that the technique is weak since it is something she was experimenting on while messing around with their ability to control the chakra better. Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Taijutsu Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms Guard : Like the Palm Rotation this technique is weak due to the fact that she is only able to use it as a defense. She cannot form her chakra into thin blades, so using it as a defense is her only option. C rank techniques: Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Ninjutsu Water Needle Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Taijutsu Gentle Fist Vacuum Palm D-E rank techniques: N/A 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Ninjutsu : Eight Trigrams Grid Trap Rank: C Range: This technique can stretch from the person using it to as far as 6 meters. At what range is this technique useful? You can measure this in 'long' 'medium' or 'short' but those are rather vague. If you wore depth, use a distance such as meters. Description: The jutsu uses the seals of the Tiger, Ox, Ram, and Bird. Essentialy it's like the Grid Palm technique where the user slams their hand on the ground creating a network of grids to the range they desire, but instead of inflicting pain on the victim the jutsu is used like a bear trap. Once someone, an ally or an opponent, steps into the grid network their foot/feet cannot be lifted back up, and they're stuck there as if glue is holding them to the ground. After that, the network quickly begins to slide up the victim restraining their movements little by little as if they're being tied up in rope. While the grid works its way up it sends pulses of chakra to the victims chakra pathway system not only making them feel uncomfortable, but also makes it a bit harder for the user to use jutsus due to the fact that their chakra pathways are being disrupted. The chakra pulses do no such damage a person, and if the victim can easily ignore the pinching sensation internally then getting out is no difficult task. To get out of the jutsu one simply has to focus a small amount of chakra to the bottom of their feet due to the fact that Setsuko doesn't apply much chakra to the jutsu, and because that small amount would cancel out the jutsu then the victim would be free. If they don't figure this out then the grid would slid its way up until the person is covered in the network, and then break into a million pieces as it fades into nothing. It takes about 5 seconds for the users chakra pathway to readjust itself, but no harm comes to the person. From start to finish the jutsu lasts for a maximum amount of 6 minutes, and does not warn Setsuko in any kind of way that someone fell for the trap. Once the trap is sealed to the ground it stays there, but because there's only a small amount of chakra put into it the jutsu fades after 3 minutes if no one has stepped in it. Setsuko mostly uses the jutsu to stall for time, as a distraction, and/or a trap. If she puts more chakra into the jutsu then it could possibly cause severe internal damage as the chakra pulses would become much stronger, but she never does to be able to use the jutsu often. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Description: In its folded state, all four arms of the shuriken are folded together. When fully unfolded the large shuriken can be thrown through the air. This is the first thing she makes sure to pack, and is her first resort in battle. Even if it's her first resort she doesn't unfold it unless she's willing to let it go (for the greater good) for the rest of the fight/battle since the shuriken isn't a boomerang that will come back to her after throwing it.
51,175	1,381	82	1,787	2,152	Seijo Tametomo „Lady Commander Tametomo” Red Sage 宏光上妻 Seijo kept an eye on Yudai as he was the first to enter. Unbeknownst to him he would be stuck with Seijo once more for the upcoming mission. This time they formed a real team, rather than the ramshackle combination they'd formed over the course of the attack on the compound. Nori was second - an uninteresting fellow, but.. Seijo knew he meant well. He was a good support shinobi from what she'd heard, and from the way he spoke. He, too, would be stuck with Seijo in the next mission. Anzai had also appeared, filling the Seijo's squad in completely as he'd be coming too. It was almost like fate had instructed them to come early. Must be a sign that their mission was going to be a success. She didn't give away that she felt this way however - she knew that becoming sure of the success of a mission could easily turn it the other way. As the other people dripped in, Seijo listened to their respective comments. Mikoto had the audacity to request the privilege of killing a certain someone. Besides that, Katsuko warned her of Yakoul. A warning that she did not need, as she was aware of Yakouls power having seen.. it, in combat a few times during the wars 11 years ago. Never the less it was appreciated. But she wouldn't let on to that either. As everyone finished their little comments on the mission, she stood up and placed her hands on the table loudly. “Great! Now that everyone has had their say I can say with utmost certainty that I do not give a shit about anything that was just mentioned.” she said looking at Mikoto specifically. Katsuko was not exempt from her outburst either, but at least he had something a bit more worthwhile to mention. “Request denied. If I have to give every Red Sage a specific wish to fulfill there wouldn't be any time to fight the Confederation. She'll die like any other Confederate Shinobi, and whether that is by your hands or not remains to be seen.” Finishing her little tantrum, which was no doubt a ploy to assert herself as the absolute leader, and to showcase she wasn't one to be trifled with, she sat down again. Almost as if she'd been waiting for the tantrum to happen, the secretary walked in again, dropping off four clipboards with papers on them in front of Seijo. “Thank you.” was the only answer that was given, a testament that Seijo was not all fire and fury. She took a very rapid look at the clipboards, setting them aside for herself to organise them. Her breath slowed down for a moment, as she inhaled deep and then exhaled to calm herself a bit before continuing. “Very well. Here are the assignments.” she said, obviously more calm and.. relaxed than before hand. “The only mission I can detail publicly is my own. Reason for that being that my mission is the most important, and it must succeed under all circumstances.” She stood up now and pointed at the various pictures above her on the screens, showcasing the Kohonjenpou Warehouses which were in the outer districts of Amegakure. “This looks like a shithole. That's cause it is - it's in Amegakure, it's my hometown, and I can assure you everything is a shithole there now with the Hamajo Confederation taking it.” Her hand reached for a button on the screens and the images switched to an inside view through a skylight. There were several shinobi standing guard, which seemed to not have noticed the intruder making pictures. On the far end of the warehouse there was a heavy vault door. “That's our target. Madara's Gunbai and Sasuke's sword are stored there. While Sasuke's sword is merely a sword with no special qualities, Madara's Gunbai isn't. And I want it. Sasuke's sword.. well, we'll divide the loot after we get back.” she'd say, looking around the room to see her own team. They were all here, she was sure of that, but she was looking around trying to see peoples facial expressions, to see if they'd be fit for the mission. If you were already pissing your pants at hearing about some guards, you might not be fit for this mission.. “Yudai, Nori and god forbid Anzai. You're all with me. Resupply before we head out. You'll need it.” She didn't dwell on the subject too long, and didn't even offer them a chance to interject or comment on the mission with possible strategies. That was because there was no strategy. The plan was simple. Go in, kill those who oppose you, steal all the weapons you can find, and go home. The other missions were.. more delicate. The clipboards were still laying there, and her hand reached for one of them, taking a look before sliding it towards Arima. “Congratulations cousin. Try not to die. Neki won't be there to sav- I mean.. Neki won't be there to get orders from you. It's all you. You can manage, right?” she said, grinning slightly. She always liked to toy around with Arima's fragile popularity in the Red Sages. “Naomi, Chieko.. and this new recruit called Aroshima? You're with Arima.” She picked up another clipboard, taking a quick look with a frown before grabbing the other one, taking it's papers and adding it to the other clipboard. She then threw the clipboard over the table, towards Katsuko, landing neatly in front of the man who had it's eyes shut. They landed with a loud SLAP! no doubt alerting the man to the fact that there was something on his table. “Katsuko! Congratulations. You have two missions. Don't ask me how or why - just get it done. Mikoto is with you. Try not to get him killed. You have a dangerous mission in one of these two, perfect for you.” she said with a smile. There was nobody more perfect for the mission than Katsuko, that much was sure, although she wasn't sure about the other mission. “Great, if there aren't any more comments or questions, you can all go to your rooms, or to the mess hall and eat. Me, I'm probably going to get forced to do paperwork again. Being important is so tiring.” Her words were meant as a small joke, but quickly turned sour when she realized that, well, she was probably going to actually get forced to do paperwork.. not so funny now. She sighed and wiped her forehead as she walked out the room, leaving everyone inside to do whatever they wanted. The missions wouldn't start until the next day, so there was some time to chat to others. Higōhō Hyuga „Bastard” Hamajō Confederation Tatsuya responded like a coward would - that much was right - bowing down low as if to ask for forgiveness and show his respect. Meanwhile Tanji was trying to save this kid's life, which only resulted in Higoho reacting in an annoyed fashion to him too. “Baka, you have no idea what it is to have your honour insulted when you're a Hyuga. If I let this one go off lightly, what about the next one that thinks it's okay to insult my clan, huh? Soon enough everyone will think the Hyuga's are weak.” His words were harsh, but somewhat true. Slippery slopes were dangerous, more so when you are of a noble clan. Higoho then turned to Tatsuya again, continuing his tirade. “And you, you expect me to believe your lies?! You're just trying to play the victim here. Nobody has such bad chakra control that they can't even control their own clones. Get a grip, bastard!” At this point Setsuko stepped in too, threatening Tatsuya as well, but acting like a sassy spoiled child to Higoho at the same time. He furrowed his brows at what she said, before taking his Konoha headband off, showcasing the cursed mark. “You see this mark? This is what it means to be a protector. So I don't care what the main branch thinks of me. I know my duties, and I know my place in life. I may be a bastard, but I'm not stupid enough to think that the main branch doesn't need me. Even if I am trash, I am still Hyuga. Keep that in your ears for the next time you try to tell me what's what, you spoiled brat. You don't deserve your Byakugan.” he'd say to her angrily as she made her exit from the situation, before he turned back to Tatsuya. “Come here and take your beating you bastard, and don't let it happen again!” he'd say as he raised his right fist, which was still holding his Konoha headband, high above his head before sending it down towards Tatsuya's jaw. It was maybe not as harsh a beating as Tanji had received earlier, but Tatsuya would probably feel it in his jaw later. As soon as he'd done his thing, Higoho would turn around and try to go home, being interrupted only to hear that he'd go to Sunagakure. Tsk. As if the day could get any worse. Now he'd have to go play in a sandbox the rest of the day.. Higoho arrived at the meeting a bit late, walking in when Yakoul had just politely encouraged everyone to shut up. The question was raised if anyone had any comments, and as much as Higoho wanted to tell everyone to stay out of his way next time, he refrained from doing so. He'd just shove them aside, like he'd done with Tatsuya, or tell them to stay out of his fight, like he'd done with Kaori. Perhaps some of them might even be useful one day. Tanji, for all he was worth, which wasn't much.. had proven to be useful slightly so. Never the less his tricks with the clones, going around pretending to be Higoho, that was a low blow. All respect Tanji had gained from supporting Higoho had been lost in that instance alone. Higoho stood in the far end of the hall, looking around a bit as he was bored to death already. He'd rather be home doing something better. But Confederate duty was Confederate duty. So he boded his time, waited for Yakoul to finish and he'd get to go home. Atleast, so he thought. “What's this meeting for anyway.. baka Yakoul.. bet this was that thing's idea. It has no respect for other people's time..” Higoho mumbled to himself.	Partisans Cool Guy Group Entry not allowed to peasants I'm talking about you Savato “To kindle that memory is all I strive for - all this, it has no greater purpose to me. But it's all I can do.” Pictured on the left, Seijo is obviously a well matured woman. Her age would probably be estimated in her early twenties, around 23 or so. That seems to be fairly accurate given her personnel files. What stands out most in her physique are probably her white, short hair and her large breast size. She struts a feminine hourglass figure with wide hips and a wide chest, and a smaller waistline. Adding to that her hips often sway side to side effortlessly, only adding to her appearance as a good looking woman. She stands rather tall for a woman at about 1.74m, and weighs approximately 62 kilo's, though you can guess where most of that weight is located. Her jawline is sharp, almost as if drawn with a pencil and a ruler. Her chin is slightly pointed, but rounded off enough to stop it from appearing like a pointy spear, ready to pierce your body. She has a small mouth with somewhat thin lips, which are pale in color and are only a slight tint darker than her skin. Her large eyes are a brown colour, framed by her eyebrows. Her eyebrows are thin, most likely maintained by Seijo herself. The only thing that stops people from seeing her as only a beautiful woman, are most likely her facial expressions. She's quick to anger. Personnel files.

Should be obvious, heh. 【Sexuality】 Noticeably bisexual. 【Birthplace】 Amegakure. 【Bloodline】 Tametomo. 【Rank】 Lady Commander of the Red Sages, approximated jonin level. Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Assessments of Seijo have shown her to be a brotherly-friendly type of person. She's someone that enjoys very much when you fall down face first in the muddy puddle, and who will gladly spend a few years laughing about that. Never the less she's outgrown that feeling, or at the very least tried to. She's more serious now, which is in line with her position as Lady Commander of the Red Sages. She's still bitter - about the confederation, about the wars, about everything really, and she makes no attempts to hide that. She hates everything about the Confederation, and in her mind, if you are not a Red Sage, you must be a confederate sympathizer. That has grown increasingly prominent in her plans on beating the Confederation now that her brother Tarara died. She's very vengeful, you could say, and it's hard for her to let go of a grudge. Besides this she's also very cocky when it comes down to it, perhaps a bit ruthless, but so far nobody has really dared to stand up against her or question her plans - and she intends to keep it that way. To her, nothing will stand in the way of beating the Confederation, not even her own death. And while before she was fighting merely for freedom, since Tarara's death she's also fighting for him. 【History】 Seijo was born in Amegakure two years apart from her older brother Tarara. They were a semi-happy family, as life in Amegakure wasn't always that great. Especially when it became apparent that two Amegakure shinobi, Ayame and Fujitora, had taken power in Konohagakure. The Amegakure people faced paranoia from all other nations than Konohagakure, seriously hurting their trade power. Then again, it didn't seem to matter much as shortly after Ayame and Fujitora came to power wars started breaking out. Some were even started by Ayame and Fujitora, so it was no surprise Amegakure got involved quickly. By the time that had all happened, Seijo was already a shinobi of fighting age, and was pushed to the front. Luckily for the family all our of them were shinobi, her mother being a strong shinobi with some sensory powers, her father being a taijutsu specialist and her older brother, Tarara, being simply a shinobi. What put Seijo apart from the rest of her family was the utilization of a special kekkei genkai that seemed to have skipped a few generations. In the wars sometimes she'd fight alongside her family, sometimes she'd fight alone with her own squad, but luckily for them they all returned home safe and sound - though Tarara had lost an eye to an enemy kunai. The wars weren't really finished, but something greater was at large. The Confederation arose some time later, and Amegakure being a small village wasn't able to withstand the pressure. They were forced to integrate into the Confederation and were made into the capital - many Amegakure citizens were forced to leave to make way for presidential buildings, apartments for envoys etcetera. While Seijo's mother and father remained behind to 'hold down the fort', Tarara and Seijo left to join up with a band of 'outlaws' that roamed the land. They were Amegakure shinobi who refused to submit to the Confederation, so not quite the rebels they were made out to be. They roamed around the lands for some time and sometimes clashed with other shinobi groups, conflicting for reasons that were no longer valid ever since the confederation had taken over. Over time Tarara grew to become the leader and Seijo his right hand, since there were deaths aplenty in these times and the leaders were usually prime targets - if not for mutiny then for battle with other shinobi groups. At that time the Red Sages were already around and Tarara led the group to join with the Red Sages. The organisation was picking up pace quickly and they made Tarara a captain, and was immediately sent out on missions. The missions varied greatly and Seijo was sometimes sent on missions too, ranging from picking up some equipment, to sabotaging infrastructure. Over time Tarara showed his leadership qualities again and when the previous leader died from old age, Tarara was designated to take over. Seijo wasn't bitter about being in his shadow so much, just wishing to do what was right for her family. But unfortunately Tarara didn't last long, as he was assasinated in the dead of the night by some special operations force from the Confederation. The fight didn't last long at all - Tarara and the few shinobi that were around put up a fierce fight but there were many shinobi, and not enough of the Red Sages. Before reinforcements could arrive Tarara was killed. There was no designation of leadership. To Seijo, there was no question who would take over. It would be her, or she'd leave the Red Sages and do the job herself. But when she claimed leadership, there wasn't anyone that wished to oppose her at that time. The fire burning in her eyes now was enough to dissuade anyone from attempting that, even if they had wanted to. 【Family ties】 The family Seijo grew up in wasn't anything special. There's no sobstories involved, with dead parents, loss of loved ones in the past, growing up an orphan. And there weren't so many happy stories, given that they were in Amegakure, which wasn't exactly the most peaceful nor rich place in the world. Never the less she loves her family, or what is left of it at the current point in time. After all, conflict breeds death. Tarara Tametomo \| Brother \| 30 at time of death, Amegakure, lord commander of the Red Sages. He always loved Red Panda's. Seijo didn't, and she regrets that now. Oiro Tametomo \| Father \| 56, Amegakure, ex-shinobi, currently has a ramen restaurant that serves to the poor. It also serves to the rich. Really, it serves to anyone, he just says he serves to the poor because that sounds better. Rei Tametomo \| Mother \| 54, Amegakure, ex-kunoichi and professional nagger. She likes to nag about a lot of things, especially about Oiro not making his ramen properly. 【Dreams and fears】 Seijo's dreams are really only related to destroying or atleast getting even with the confederation. Besides that she wishes to see her father and mother again in peace one day, but she realizes that that might not be a possibility. Another dream is to meet with one of the Choko siblings - Fujitora or Ayame - though she has heard that it's possible both are deceased since the Confederation took over. Her fears, well, she hasn't many, which has more to do with her attempts at being seen as a coldheaded leader. She ofcourse fears losing her life - she is human and every human fears this. But this fear isn't in the back of her head whenever she enters battle. A fear that is also present is the fear of losing her followers - while she doesn't care directly for their support, she knows she needs them to succeed in her goals. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Seijo is a medium distance fighter with a focus on utilizing jutsu to keep the enemy at bay and kill them. That aside however she possesses some strength and is capable of using taijutsu if she needs to as well - quite adequately even. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Fungus Release Description: The Fungus release allows the user a control over fungal-style plants and moss, which would be able to sprout from the users touch. Remarkably harmless in how it sounds, it's been weaponized quite well through years of practice. The origins of this release are unknown, but the uses are not. It doesn't manifest in clear sight, as the fungus used in this release are housed inside the users body, feeding off of the waste the host produces. As such the user has a notoriously quicker metabolism, as well as a noticeably lower rate of human waste dispersion. In use, the release manifests itself through the obvious moss and fungus it produces. The moss is highly flammable, but the large area of effect jutsu's that can be used with it can cause a spreading fire, or even an explosion, since the spores it releases are very dense. This might inadvertently trap everyone inside the technique, friend or foe, in a fiery vortex. Besides that, the moss has some interesting capabilities, such as genjutsu inducing properties, poison inducing properties or even a chakra and dead tissue absorbing quality, much a kin to real moss and fungi. Some specific branch of the fungi even have mind-controlling capabilities, but it's required to induce the fungal spores into the target by touch, after which it will grow it's way towards the targets brain internally and take over, collect info or possibly control them. Strengths: Versatile and allows the user to regain strength and chakra mid-battle through absorbtion of dead tissue. It's got a great variety for many situations and it's not obvious exactly what is going on with this bloodline limit until it's used. Weaknesses: Fire and (controlled) chakrablasts can somewhat easily deal with the fungi, although you have to be careful with the chakra since the moss can also feed off of it if used improperly. Besides that, it becomes easy to see what the bloodline limit entails once it's used, as it's obvious this is moss or fungus. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu Assimilate All Creation Technique B rank techniques: Barrier: Dome Method Technique 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Transportation Technique Rank: C Range: N/A. Description: Forming the tiger seal, the user sinks into the ground into a small circle of moss with toadstools in it, seemingly dissapearing. A simple transportation technique, this technique will then allow the user to appear somewhere else in the same circle of moss with toadstools in it, which seem to appear out of nowhere to anyone watching. The technique is usable in battle, but the sinking effect is slow allowing opponents to land hits while she is 'sinking' into the patch of moss. Never the less, the appearing effect is quickly, allowing Seijo to appear out of nowhere rather quick and attacking. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Invocation of Nature Rank: B Range: 500m diameter. Description: After forming a boar-hare-ram seal string, and then slamming the palm into the ground, the user can transform the area around themselves into a mossy field by spreading the moss inside their body rapidly over the land, capable of terraforming even the most arid lands into moss and fungus covered 'grasslands' which will quickly (10 minutes) give rise to many forms of plantlife and even small trees (30 minutes). This technique seems semi-useless but it allows the user to transform land into something both useful, and to create a place where she is at home. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Control of Nature Rank: B Range: 500m diameter. Description: Using the moss that is already present in an area, the user is able to control the fungus and moss to a degree, making it capable of grabbing feet, forming walls and also spreading it even further, as long as the controlled substance stays in contact with moss or the user. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Deterioration of Spores Rank: B Range: A cone of 20m outwards of the user, in a triangle shape. Description: Inhaling deeply and placing an open palm in front of the mouth, the user exhales and blows out a large amount of spores over the area in front of her, which carry a poisonous substance that can cause anyone that inhales the spores to start breathing heavily, growing stronger and ultimately choking them by growing fungal growths in their throat over the course of a week if left untreated. Anyone that gets into contact with them externally, such as skin contact, will develop rashes which burn heavily, but are non lethal and can easily be treated as well. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Fungal Chakra Sap technique Rank: A Range: Touch. Description: After spreading fungus from one person (user) to the other (target) the user is able to 'infect' the target with fungus, by touching them and so spreading the fungus and moss to them. The user might notice, but will find it is hard to get rid of the fungus once it's internal through the chakra tenketsu. Once inside, the fungus will slowly sap away the enemies chakra, eating it to strengthen itself. After approximately a minute, the chakra eating fungus will be 'full' and detach itself, either falling off of the body, or being taken away by the blood system of the target. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Hallucination of Spores Rank: B Range: A cone of 50m outwards from the user. Description: Inhaling deeply and placing an open palm in front of the mouth, the user exhales and blows out a large amount of spores over the area in front of her, which are infused with the users' chakra and can carry over a genjutu upon being touched by a spore. Since it's easy to be freed from a genjutsu this technique is generally used only when fighting small groups. The genjutsu is capable of doing pretty much anything a high level genjutsu can do, giving the user pretty much full control over the effects of the genjutsu, while using the subconcious of the target to identify and use psychologically harmful events. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Greater Deterioration of Spores Rank: A Range: An area of 1km in diameter. Description: Similar to the normal deterioration of spores technique, this technique can cover entire battlefields in spores, transmitting the poison to anyone that inhales the spores, and also onto any allies that get harmed. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Ultimate Siphoning Jutsu Rank: S Range: Medium Description: After covering a field in moss, the user will then use their Control technique to encase an opponent in a special type of moss that hardens tremendously when it comes into contact with foreign chakra. It makes it able to withstand hard blows from taijutsu, weaponry and most jutsu. Encasing the opponent, the user then starts using the moss to siphon chakra, and transfer it to themselves to refill their reserves. What makes this S-rank is the speed at which this occurs - within ten minutes a target will be drained of nearly all chakra, at which point the technique can be disabled and the target 'freed' although with the little amount of chakra they would have left, they'd be as good as disabled for the duration of the fight. Jutsu name: Summoning: Neki the Newt Rank: C Range: N/A. Description: This summoning technique summons Neki the Newt. Given the qualities of a newt, this newt is capable of high speed water traversal as well as shooting water out of it's mouth. It's size is medium sized (it's aproximately 2m. high and 4m. long) and is big enough to carry two people in it's mouth at once if they are standing up. Weaknesses: Weaknesses to all internal fungi, such as the inhalation of the poisonous spores, or being touched by either the fungal parasite technique or chakra sap technique are external chakra. This is due to the fact that the moss and fungi adapt to the targets chakra, feeding off of it for sustainability. Any external chakra will offset it and make it deteriorate, as well as the effects with it. As such you can be pulled out of the genjutsu with external chakra (as is the case with regular genjutsu as well), you can stop the effects of spreading poisonous moss and fungus due to the Deterioration of Fungus technique, although the effects it's had on the target up until that point will remain (i.e you won't get rid of the rash, or the internal burning sensation it created). A weakness for external moss (the spores in the air, or the moss on the ground) is that it's highly flamable, however this is also a strength because it can be used against you. “I do not give to receive - I simply take.” If I die tonight Higōhō is a man of reasonable build, especially considering he practices a mostly non contact style of fighting. He's not precisely buff, more like lean, but that's just the way he likes it. His arms are toned as well as his chest and stomach which is more or less the extent of his build. He has a rounded jawline, with a round chin, protruding slightly from the rest of his faces' contours. The skin on his face is rather tight - it wouldn't be possible to pinch and pull his cheeks. He has a very thin nosebridge, and a slightly pointed nose. If one had to label it, his nose were likely to be seen as about average sized. Some of his facial features that stand out a lot are his pure white eyes which conflicts with his black hair and the black shirts he always wears. Although his outfit always changes (he's quite aware of fashion, and although he doesn't follow the latest trends, he likes to dress in ways that make him feel good) he has one consistent piece of clothing in his look - his necklace. On this necklace is the mon of the Hamajō Confederation. One could say he is very much a patriot. And the nice things one can say about him end about there. Personnel files.

Hyuga. 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Higōhō isn't a nice person whatsoever. He's very sure of himself, cocky to some, arrogant to others. It doesn't help that he's not weak, either. He believes very strongly in himself, and although he's smart enough to know that he's no Madara or Pain, he knows he's strong. Not only is that because of the Byakugan, it's also because of his own hard work he thinks, as well as some natural skill he feels like he has. His cockiness and arrogance has lead him to become quite careless when conversing with people - you can call him an asshole, a lighter term would be being rude. Truth is, he just doesn't really care. If a girl asks him what he thinks of her dress, and he doesn't like it, he'll tell her the dress is ugly. If her face is ugly too, well, he'll probably tell her that too. Though that doesn't mean he would dislike this person, he just thinks himself above most people, so he feels a right to say that. Ofcourse, if he likes something, he isn't afraid to say that either. But he doesn't like that much things. In battle.. do I even need to say this? He's arrogant. He's a bit overzealous at times, and doesn't know his own limits, willing to take on things that are above his own skill level. But so far that's not really ever gone wrong terribly. Aside that, you can call him dumb, or you can call him brave, but he doesn't really give up. You'll have to kill him, knock him out, or cut off his legs and arms if you want him to stop getting up after you pummel him. To him, it doesn't matter. Dying is more honorable than giving up. Besides his arrogant appearance and his lack of care for people around him - the catch is that really he does care. Being a bastard child and - boo-hoo-hoo - not receiving a lot of attention, love, nurturing and care, meant that to Higōhō he had to appear like he didn't care, to not give his father the satisfaction of being broken by his lack of care. This carried over to his adult years. And while he might not care for others because he likes them, he cares for their well being since they are in the same battalion. So, he'll be very sacrificial if he needs to be, willing to give his life up for something like a mission or another person. 【History】 Higōhō was born 18 years ago, to a Hyuga side branch member and a woman of lesser morals. Not exactly a brilliant future ahead of himself, especially since he was born with the Byakugan and thus it was demanded that he was handed over to the Hyuga's He was immediately given the cursed seal on his forehead. A stain of shame on his father's reputation, and already that of his own. Not like a newborn baby was aware of such concepts as reputations. But during his childhood his father made it painfully obvious that he wasn't exactly wanted - 'an accident' - and later one even went as far as saying that he was a stain on the family name, a bastard child who was never meant to be. He shrugged it off, really, because at that point it became apparent that his father was a deadbeat, only allowed to stay in the Hyuga home because his drinking problem and gambling addiction would bring shame to the family if word ever got out. Most of his childhood he was micro-managed by the nannies and tutored by the older members. More often than not he was treated as a child that wasn't supposed to be there, but they put up with him regardless. He showed progress in using the byakugan, especially the gentle fist, as if some sort of innate skill with that style was already within him. Whether that was true or not remained to be seen but fact of the matter was he did good in classes. As soon as he became 7, he was sent to the shinobi academy, because a bastard child had nothing better to become than a shinobi anyway. He did well. Well enough, anyway. Didn't exactly want to be there but hadn't much other choice. At that point in time he had already thought to himself that his only purpose in life was really to be a shinobi - and to fight for the confederation. The confederate soldiers were sort of his heroes, warriors fighting to protect their homes, true patriots, yadda yadda. He loved them. So, he figured, why not become one? The Confederation took over at that point and since then his class was kind of filled with masses of kids. That meant that, even though there were many prospect shinobi that were at a good level, there were far more useless kids who were only there because their parents want them to be. And that meant Higōhō would stand out a little. Welp, he passed, no big surprise. Got to be a genin running around doing stuff like saving kittens from trees and stuff. It didn't matter, he was still a confederate shinobi, which felt good. It didn't take him too long to become a chunin - the Confederation took an interest in him due to the Byakugan, and so his promotion came rather easy. And here we are! 【Family ties】 His family is mostly the Hyuga clan - his father, ofcourse, and then the nannies and teachers that he worked with. The other kids, he supposes, were 'okay'. He didn't really got bullied, so that's a plus. Katso Hyuga \| Father \| 47, his room in the Hyuga estate, professional deadbeat. 【Dreams and fears】 He dreams of, one day, becoming a jonin and leading a team, or perhaps even becoming a captain for the confederation and entering the political world of the Confederation. Besides that, he kinda wants to live a calm life after his service. What a simple soul. His fear is probably dying by Curse Seal - it'd be hard knowing you're gonna die without being able to fight back. Combat reports.

He is a proficient gentle fist user, capable of ousting most other nintaijutsu users with his own, and being a force to be reckoned with even within the Hyuga clan. That is not to say he'll beat anyone, however. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Byakugan Description: I can copy paste this URL here or you can just read it if you have no idea about byakugan (you barbar). His byakugan has a maximum range of 12 km, though that's only when he's not doing anything intensive (such as fighting). 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Eight Trigrams Mountain Crusher B rank techniques: Gentle Fist (style) Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm Eight Trigrams Sixty-four Palms Eight Trigrams Thirty-two Palms C rank techniques: Palm Bottom Tenketsu Needle 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Eight Trigrams Vacuum Combo Rank: C Range: Very close. Description: The jutsu is nothing more than a combination of a gentle fist move with the vacuum palm move. First the user spins around on their axle, using their left/right hand (depending on the way you spin) to open up the victims' body by slapping away any defensive hand placements, before slapping their palm forwards and using the vacuum palm technique. “Watashi wa Kami - I am still God.” Over the past 11 years Yamato hasn't changed much - appearance wise - in comparison with before the Hamajo confederation arrived. He's grown in size, reaching up to 1.83cm by now. He still dresses the same - tshirts, a-shirts or sweatshirts with some form of jacket over them. He usually wears chino's like he did before, but has traded his slip-in's for a pair of black combat boots. Yamato is defined as a handsome boy, having a chiseled jawline and somewhat skinny-looking cheeks. His nose bridge is quite thin, although not as if it were a stripe. Contrary to most with a thin nosebridge, his nostrils are also thin. Besides that he has no specific bone structure related characteristics. His eyes are a deep dark green, but not so dark that they can be mistaken for a grey-black colour. In accordance with genetics they are slightly slanted. The most defining features on his face are most likely his 3 large, reddish old scars running across his nose. Yamato's body is 'normal' in terms of muscle and fat, though it's improved compared to 11 years ago. He has some obviously defined muscled due to the nature of their schooling, as a normal shinobi is expected to keep up with his athletic properties. His arms are skinny, meaning that the muscles there are by nature more defined, but due to hard training, they are also very much so toned to perfection. Without flexing you could most likely see the muscles regardless. The same goes for his legs. His chest is not very broad nor does it extend towards the front due to musclemass. As such he has a rather 'normal' looking chest. Regardless he does have some definition there, although you probably wouldn't see it very often due to his clothes. Personnel files.

Although as every other clan they have to grow with the times, and as such many customs have become merely symbolical and don't actually hold much significance. These customs are almost always on par with that of the other clans, since the clan is not much different from the others. That said, they have since their waning influence, dabbled more into even darker trades, and many of the Minamoru which were not shinobi, have become actively involved in the illegal arms trade, drugs trade, prostitution and other illegal activities. 【Special Traits】 Males are known to be born with black hair specifically, with the females usually being born with either black hair, or white hair. Chances seem to be 50/50 for either of the colour. Their eyes are green, differing only in coloration between dark and light green. The Minamoru do not have any hiden or kekkei genkai - in fact, they despise kekkei genkai and see it as a curse, where as hiden are seen as a pest, but 'acceptable.' 【Influences】 The Minamoru influence on Konohagakure was very, very big. Some of it was subtle, such as underground influences due to the Yakuza affiliations they have, or rather.. the fact that they lead one of the three largest Yakuza groups in Konohagakure, and dealt in things like Senju DNA, Sharingan black trade (rare) or even the drug trade. Their affiliations in this field are obvious to those involved, but to the outside world, it seems completely preposterous that the Minamoru, a powerful and high 'n mighty clan is involved in this. Besides that they were a huge economical influence 11 years ago, because they owned more or less 60% of all of Konoha's economical centre with Minamoru Enterprises. The remaining 40% is, thankfully for Konoha, not theirs since the other Yakuza groups were trying hard to wrangle control away from them. The fact that they own most of the economical centre should probably say enough about their economical influence but this is not to say that all this money flows directly into the pockets of the Minamoru clan - bribes, wages, etcetera all is paid from these funds. Finally the political aspect of the clan, which was not as big as it's underground or economical influence. Never the less it's still present - the fact that the Minamoru are a shinobi clan in essence (though, that is debateable very much so) gave them a small influence, and their alliances with other clans, as well as their feuds with some of the others, are a reason that they were politically well regarded, though not as high as the Hyuga or the Uchiha, or even the Uzumaki's although those have recently been more forthcoming towards the Minamoru. Ever since the death of Reijo at the hands of Fujitora Choko, the clan has fallen, and fallen deep. The only Minamoru of relative high stands are the shinobi, and even those have been falling ever so slightly. The only two remaining shinobi with a grain of honor left are Reijo's children - Rei Minamoru, a 25 year old medical kunoichi, and Yamato Minamoru himself, the heir to the clan after his uncle passes away. Never the less the clan has no estates left - all financial enterprises, shops, financial buildings were given away by Fujitora Choko to rival companies to ensure that the Minamoru held Yakuza group received no financing. Their political power waned as Reijo was the politician of the clan - the other Minamoru were regarded as too hotheaded and his uncle was a drunk, so he barely did anything with the clan. The Minamoru are barely a remnant of themselves, if they can even be called that. 【Relations】 Naito - the Naito clan is one of the clans that the Minamoru have been feuding with for the longest time. The feud started about 200 years ago, when both the Minamoru and the Naito were relatively new to Konoha. Ever since it's been dubbed the Feud of the Tiger and the Dogs. The long standing feud hasn't subsided just yet as members of this clan frequently clash - be it with words, swords, or politics. No longer applicable. The Naito clan is wiped out. 【History】 The Minamoru clan was founded quite recently compared to the other clans such as the Uchiha or the Hyuga. They were not part of the original founding clans, and migrated later as a result of economical changes. They weren't originally shinobi but quickly managed to adapt into a Shinobi clan effortlessly. They were comprised of highly driven individuals that wished to become the greatest at, more or less, whatever they attempted. It didn't always succeed, actually, more often than not, but you only need to give one glance to the current status of the clan to see how far they kicked it in those 200 years, compared to the Uchiha. Never the less they don't quite fit into Konoha - they are not so much underhanded, and wouldn't do anything to directly harm Konoha, but they are very self centered and do anything they do for the clan or themselves, not for Konoha. Konoha is simply a means to an end for them. Never the less a feeling of pride and honour is also common place in the clan so Konoha needn't worry about the Minamoru betraying them. They do what they do for themselves, or atleast so they say, but deep down most of the Minamoru are quite self sacrificial, especially the shinobi. Those that aren't in the shinobi trade are often a whole different breed of people, mostly simply normal people and civilians. In short, that means they have a tough skin, cussing, feuding, and appear somewhat rude and cold. Underneath that however are people that deeply respect tradition, hierarchy and self sacrifice. They might not show it but it's definetely there. Moving on, they also don't fit Konoha because they are very outspoken against kekkei genkai - and sadly for Konoha (or the Minamoru's, depending on who you ask) there are plenty of clans with kekkei genkai's. This has been reason for them to be a bit of an outcast-clan compared to others, distancing themselves from main Konoha, living outside the village. Up until the mid-years, between Sarada and Boruto's births, and current situation, they were insignificant, standard fodder clans. However it was then that they broke through with the arrival of the ronin, that fueled the underground Yakuza operations that some of the Minamoru were involved in. Due to this they suddenly raised in power unexplainedly, gaining more funds to further their political influence and economical presence. It didn't take long before Reijo took over 40-so years later, and furthered that all even more, expanding their influences rather rapidly. 11 years later, in the Hamajō Confederation, there's not much left of the Minamoru clan. All estates are gone, only the housing area remaining. Everything is, more or less, gone. Only Fujitora Choko and his 11th corps are to be blamed - that much any shinobi in the Minamoru clan will tell you. 【Rank】 Jonin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Yamato used to be seen as a thug or a criminal in the making. Not far from the truth given his father was the largest criminal in the entire village - something Yamato has no particular feelings towards since to him it was a way of life since his birth. However Yamato was never a criminal - he might've done questionable things during his services to the Hamajō Confederation but never anything that he'd consider criminal activity. Something else that characterizes him is his aggressive tendencies, as he is very very quick to anger and is, very much so, an asshole to everyone he meets. Those that know him for longer, such as Akio Tendou or Aoi Don Maquia will testify to this. Yamato is a bright young man, widely regarded in Konohagakure as a prodigy of attack. This is seen in his psyche as well, as the boy has shown aggressive and violent tendencies from time. Some would call it a short fuse.. and others call it being a thug in the making. Regardless of which is true, the boy also has shown impeccable resilience, steadfastness and a healthy dose of respect for tradition. Rumor within the Minamoru clan has said this is due to the amount of training that got instilled into him at an early age, and that he instills into himself daily even still. The boy also hates kekkei genkai for one reason or another, a sentiment shared by the entire clan, and some radicals even go so far as to wish those with a kekkei genkai dead. Yamato is a good student, and gets very good grades compared to those in the same years as him. He has shown a talent for, how could it be anything else, taijutsu and nintaijutsu, focusing especially on the offensive. This goes well with his aggressive nature and he is known to be able to take down opponents in a matter of seconds, although his defense is less than average. Despite attempts to convince him, his resilience has proven that fruitless. Then again, the boy has always been a prodigy and nobody has been able to prove that the boy might need a defense as well. This has affected his personality in a more or less negative way, although that is open to interpretation. The boy is somewhat- no, very arrogant, and while he wouldn't boast about his skills, he is fully aware of his status as a prodigy. This has given him the idea that he is above everyone else, and he has remained to keep this idea as he's been unhindered by anyone who could prove him wrong. Watashi wa Kami - in his eyes, he is God. 【History】 Pre Hamajō Confederation Yamato's childhood years were essentially a calmth before the storm. He spent his first four years as most children his age did - calmly in the arms of his mother, and playing outside. Then at the age of four, his father decided that it was time for him to become ready. Determined to make the clan greater than it already was, he hired a teacher who was to teach Yamato the basics about being a shinobi. No, he didn't learn any techniques, but learnt the mental side of shinobi's, namely rules, history and things you needed to know. This affected his school career indirectly as he had more background knowledge than most when he entered base school. During his time at base school he still had interest in making friends and preferred to learn techniques, practice taijutsu or throwing and fighting with kunai and shuriken. He often sparred with others, showing of his tenacious and aggressive nature in these matches. He often ended up fighting kids that were bigger and older, beginning to make a name for himself. He became a genin at the age of 12 like most others and went on to attend the high school to become a chunin. In that aspect, while he was a prodigy, he was like everyone else. During high school years he maintained a very steady level of training, to maintain his position within the clan which had grown by now. He became, more or less, the pride of his clan and family, and went unrivaled within the clan. In highschool he maintained a same degree of authority, although there were those that had problems with it, he found that he barely had any problems maintaining his position as the people that objected were often not even close to his level of mastery. Although this makes him sound like a hard ass, all he wanted was for people to more or less leave him alone. The only people he could really get along with was his own family. And even that was strenuous at times. Later, he became semi friends with Aoi, who had shown Yamato to be more capable than she let onto. Never the less they weren't ever close to friends - more so, being colleagues that enjoyed working together with each other more than if they had to work with others, the exception to that being Akio, who was Aoi's preferred companion for a long time. As for the hatred of people with kekkei genkai, it stems from the preconceived notion that people with kekkei genkai seem to think themselves special, untouchable or even godlike, and when you pair that with historical events focusing around kekkei genkai and being mostly negative (Infinite Tsukuyomi, Hyuga clan being a prime target to other villages), it results in a hatred that is widespread among this clan, which has seen it's fair share of bad luck to do with kekkei genkai during the centuries. Besides that Yamato is of the opinion that he could beat a kekkei genkai easily through strength and a superior will to work for something. Arrival of Hamajō Confederation During the arrival of the Hamajō Confederation Yamato played a part in the taking of the city. While he was defending the city at first, he switched sides halfway through after realizing that the Hamajō Confederation wasn't all that bad - in fact, it was better than Ayame and Fujitora. It didn't help that Fujitora was responsible for the death of his father - and in turn, the near death of his family. The Hamajō Confederation would have a larger chance to make his family important again. He arrived on scene near the 11th corps headquarters, which was where Fujitora was holed up. Finding himself trailing mostly behind dead bodies, he soon find the source of this - Yakoul. The cat-like person had slaughtered most of the 11th corps, including Saburo and Daiki, two people that Yamato had hoped to kill for himself. Above all, it had killed Fujitora - which was a crime in the eyes of Yamato, blinded by honour. Knowing better than to take revenge by attacking Yakoul, he simply boded his time. He got promoted within the Hamajō Confederation and is now a captain, or otherwise known as Jonin, largely in service at the Amegakure capital. However, recently he's received orders to go to the border area to investigate a compound, and meet with commander Yakoul, who'll be making further use of his services. 【Family ties】 Yamatos family was rather normal, if you keep in mind that he grew up with a family that was not only his father and mother but also included close relatives of those people. Given that his father is the clan head, he has always felt like the entire clan was his family, and not just his father and mother. As such he always felt a great drive to do well, for the honor of the clan. Furthermore the birth of his younger sister when he was 2 added to his drive as he was under the pretense that he'd get to, or even have to, teach her. Reijo Minamoru \| Father \| 43 at time of passing, Konohagakure, used to be often away on bussiness, was a politician and economist, it's said he has a pair of mistresses in any city. Mika Minamoru \| Mother \| 47, Konohagakure, restaurant owner and mother, she is a hard worker who never complains. Atleast she likes to think that she doesn't. Rei Minamoru \| Sister \| 25, Konohagakure, medical shinobi. Popular girl, but unlike Yamato she finds practicing boring and she'd rather spend her time away from home with friends. 【Dreams and fears】 Yamato secretly dreams of a world where there are no kekkei genkai as this would, in his eyes, greatly reduce conflict. Furthermore he dreams of making the Minamoru clan even greater than his father did, to outdo him in something that his father was already very good at. As for fears, Yamato fears causing death and dishonor to the clan, which goes without saying. Besides that he also fears losing respect from the clan and, to a lesser degree, to other shinobi of the Hamajō Confederation. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Yamato's fighting style revolves entirely around the attack, offensiveness and taking down an opponent with hard hitting blows. Defense is almost nonexistant in his style, as he barely needs it. He is extremely resilient, as mentioned before, and as such he can take a lot of hits of any kind without showing signs of pain. Besides that, he is also someone who never, ever gives up. As such he will keep getting up even if he knows he cannot win - an admirable trait to some and a sign of stupidity to others. Another aspect of his style is courage, in the form of never being frightened. He is going to be the first to jump into battle and he's going to do so with an aggression bound to shake hearts and silence voices. 【Ninja techniques】 B rank techniques: Katon: Great Fire Destruction C rank techniques: Katon: Great Fireball Technique 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Minamoru-shi: Nokori Onaji (Minamoru Clan: Remain the Same, 残り同じ) Rank: S Range: N/A Description: This technique is, more or less, what constitutes Minamoru's hiden. It was created by Yamato due to his reckless nature and desire to enter the fray as the first one in - which was a negative thing before. Now, that turns into a good thing. The technique utilizes a very very small amount of chakra, which gathes in a 'pool' of chakra within the user. In general, there's never been a time where the chakra gets used up so quickly in usage of the technique that it completely empties out. This passive ability consumes chakra at a very slow rate constantly, even when not in combat. Luckily Yamato's chakra pool is large enough to sustain it. This ability works through getting hurt - as strange as it may sounds - converting damage done to the user and turning it into raw power. In effect, that means that 'more damage input = more damage output' in simple terms. Muscles are stimulated by the damage, as well as the psychological will to fight on. This allows Yamato to press on past his normal limits - which were already extraordinarily high - and keep fighting even with broken bones, torn muscles or large gaping wounds. The drawbacks to this are, ofcourse, that he's going to be less accurate and skillfull, but more powerful. In short attacks will be more powerful but he'll have a harder time hitting, ofcourse that depends largely on the type of wounds too. That's not to say that he heals them instantly - if he receives a mortal wound, he'll die pretty much if he doesn't receive treatment regardless of the jutsu. But receiving wounds does make him stronger, both in how he feels and how he actually is. It doesn't make him less mortal - but he sees him self as a God. Would he believe he's still mortal? Jutsu name: Minamoru-shi: Chakurabāsuto (Minamoru Clan: Chakra Burst, チャクラバースト) Rank: A Range: 5m-10m Description: Releasing one fourth of the chakra stored in his pool for the Nokori Onaji technique, he releases a pure burst of chakra out of his entire body, causing a shockwave of chakra. This shockwave can extend between 5m and 10m, dependant on how large his pool currently is. The shockwave is powerful enough to send shinobi that don't hold themselves down on the ground flying, sending lightweights (80<kg.) flying atleast 20 meters at high speed, and sending heavyweights (80>kg.) stumbling out of the shockwave area. Objects are sent flying away too, such as kunai, leaves and other random items in the area. The jutsu isn't incredibly damaging on it's own, dependant on objects in the area. For instance, in an empty dirt field, there'll be no objects to send flying, and no objects for the enemy to crash into. So, damage will be reduced to perhaps some light scraping from scraping on the ground. In a forest, or a densely built in city, the damage will be more extensive, given that the enemy might fly into trees, rocks, buildings, roadsigns, etcetera. Jutsu name: Katon: Great Fire Fists Rank: A Range: Close Description: The technique begins by creating a short series of seals ended by a Tiger seal - although since this is Yamato's signature move, he has perfected it to the point where he doesn't need to form the seals any longer. After this the user flicks his wrists and they are set ablaze. Not yet taking a shape the user must focus the chakra around this area for a short period, in the case of Yamato a second or two. After this is done the fire becomes hotter, akin to a bunsenburner in heat, and the fire will take the color blue as a result. The resulting heat is enough to roast skin even if it's not touching the fire, and enough to severely burn anyone that gets in direct contact with the flames, enough to cause third degree (yes, that hot) burns when you get directly hit by a punch of this technique. Anyone standing nearby Yamato will feel the heat emenating off of the boy, whether they are friend or foe, before he leaps into the battle. The fire takes the shape of a lions head, akin to the two guarding lions that stand outside most wealthy places or places of public interest. Jutsu name: Katon: Great Fire Extraction Rank: A Range: Close Description: Yaoku's Revenge sets the user ablaze for a short time, appearing to others as an explosion. In reality it works as a distraction, while the user cocks his hand back which is then lit ablaze. The single hand will be heated up so much, that it overpowers even the Fists of a Tiger technique, heating up to the extent where it will be able to melt both skin, muscle and bone. The intensity of the technique requires so much chakra that it is pretty much useable only thrice. After the required heat is reached, a matter of seconds for Yamato, the user lunges forwards through the explosion he caused himself and launched his fist into the enemy, melting skin first, then fat and muscle, and finally bone before the hand cools down. If used effectively, and the hit connects, it will be a tremendous attack able to incapacitate or kill most enemies. But it requires accuracy, something that is often lacking when an enemy is moving around, and also because the explosion caused by Yamato would obscure his vision. Besides that, the attack leaves him rather exhausted, so that he'd have to retreat from the fight, something that Yamato could obviously never do. As such it's likely for him to overexert himself after using this technique. Jutsu name: Katon: Great Fire Bind Rank: B Range: 10 meter in front of Yamato Description: To be used in conjuction with the Great Fire Extraction technique, but useable on it's own too. This technique is not neccesarily a fighting technique, the sole technique in Yamato's arsenal that isn't focussed 100% on the offense. However it is used as a runner up to a very offensive move. After forming a boar and tiger seal, the user holds the tiger seal while a set of 2 fiery hands emerge from his back, quickly coming out at a rapid speed. These hands will head for the enemy almost instinctively, and grab the enemy by the arm. Once grabbed it will be virtually impossible to get out lest you have a teammate that is able to free you or you work out a genius way to break free. Because the hands are made of flames you will receive slight burning although the burns will not be harmful whatsoever, akin to a D rank fire jutsu if not less harmful. The true fear you should have.. is the follow up jutsu. There is a slight reaction time between being grabbed and the start of the technique, around 1.5 seconds, but dodging will only end up causing the hands to chase you for a longer time. The only true escape is to get out of the 10 meter mark, but that will be hard with just 1.5 second to escape. It's possible for ninja's with above average jutsu, however. Another weakness, aside from it's length, is it's weakness to both water and earth defensive jutsu, such as the earthen walls or the water techniques that send out half an ocean. Using wind or fire against these hands is nearly useless, matter of fact it's counter productive because adding more fire to the arms will have no effect, while using wind based jutsu on them will fuel the flames, speeding them up even more. Electrical jutsu are useless, too, because electricity will go through the hands. An extraordinarily fast shinobi (read: faster than Yamato) will be able to dodge the hands initially and then attack quickly after if he times it right, because attacking Yamato and forcing him to release the tiger seal will stop the jutsu. However, if Yamato moves but still holds the seal, the jutsu will continue. The time it takes to form the hands and attempt to grab the opponent is all within 1 post, but the actual act of grabbing depends on it being dodged/ran away from, and as such can only happen in the 2nd post. Jutsu name: Fuuton: Greater Fire Fists Rank: C Range: N/A. Description: Technically not a technique on it's own, but still classified as one, the user will not have to form any seals, instead he simply has to augment fuuton chakra in his fists and release it into his fists of the Fire Fist jutsu. Due to Fuuton acting as 'fuel' (fuel for fire is oxygen, a source and burnable material) the fire will begin to burn even hotter, turning the fire blue and causing the area it's used in to appear 'darker' or closer to nightfall. This is due to the bright source of light making the environments appear darker than they really are simply because of the contrast or difference in lightsources. Even on a blue sky, clear lit day it will appear as if it were 00:00 midnight. The fists of the Fire-tiger will burn so hot, the radius at which the heat can be felt greatly expands and even those standing close to Yamato during the usage of this will feel uncomfortably warm, and if they stay near long enough, might begin getting a serious sunburn. The main effect also increases, still holding onto the 3rd degree burns upon connecting a hit, but adding in the additional fuuton element of a highly increased knockback and a cutting effect, too. You will go flying most definetely when you get hit by this augmented technique, sending lighter opponents up to 100m away and heavy, fat opponents at a weight of 200kg about 30 meters. Furthermore, there will be slight cuts, as if you got hit by 20 kunai at once. Ofcourse, that's all superficial wounds - nothing life threatening, but definetely painful. Like most nintaijutsu, this is extemely destructive, but exerting at the same time. There is no real weakness to this technique, as it's not really a technique to begin with but more so an augmentation or reinforcement of another. As such, weaknesses of the Fists of the Tiger still exist, such as suiton jutsu or defensive doton jutsu. Even so, the usage of this extra fuuton jutsu will allow the user to simply brute-force his way past many of these jutsu anyway, most notably doton. Suiton will always be a problem for fire users and this technique is no exception. Jutsu name: Katon: Great Fire Bomb Rank: B Range: 7.5m Description: This technique is a secret trump card held in high regard by the Minamoru clan. Not many outside of the clan know of it, because it's a rather rough technique on both the victim and the user. The users can begin this technique by forming the Tiger seal, after which it cannot be stopped anymore. The user envelops themself in flames, starting out akin to any other fire technique and indistinguishable at this time, looking rather harmless. However this all leads to an explosion. An explosion of the user itself into fiery death. In essence it's a fiery suicide technique that will blow up the user plus anything within 3.5m of the technique, and will damage anything up to 7.5m around the technique. The bad side? If you use this technique you die. Jutsu name: Minamoru-shi: Jisatsu-ryō (Minamoru Clan: Suicide Charge, 自殺料) Rank: B Range: 50m. Description: Utilizing his Futoon element, the user 'boosts' his speed quickly by displacing air in front of him towards his back, to travel quicker similar to how an airplane gains lift. However, this technique isn't fast enough to create lift and neither is Yamato shaped in order to create lift.. However, this will give him speed. Using this speed the use pummels himself into the enemy ranks, most likely a larger group of enemies. The head on charge manifests itself into simply crashing into the enemies with limbs extended, punching left and right to get as many hits in as possible. Defense is NOT a part of Yamato's vocabulary. This can be easily protected against by, say, creating an obstacle like a doton-sphere to protect yourself/you friends (if you're friendly like that.) 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Backpack. Weapon, tool or object type: It's.. a backpack. Possibly filled with explosive tags. Description: It's a fucking explosive backpack bomb. Bag-o-bombs. EASY.
51,176	1,381	83	1,015	2,826	Aroshima Sarutobi The Red Sages - Secret Base. Aro had followed Naomi, making sure to keep far enough behind that it wouldn't be suspicious, that even if a confederate soldier would attack Naomi, he wouldn't be taken prisoner by association - not to say he wouldn't help her, they were family, after all. He saw several sages who were heading in the same direction, doing his best to avoid being detected by them, as well. They might think him a confederate spy, which would be just as bad as being seen a rebel by the confederatcy. This day sure had gotten a lot more complicated than he had thought it would be, he was expecting to run away from Nikita's husband, not to be roped into joining the rebellion. Soon, Naomi stopped moving, waiting outside of a compound - the base, Aro could but assume. Aro arrived next to her after a few minutes, flipping the lighter in his hand and igniting another cigarette, keeping the filtered stick of tobacco in his lip while he greeted his cousin. Several other Sages were giving him dirty looks, wondering who he was, and why he was here. Turning to his cousin, he looked at her, and nodded at the two other sages whom were staring him down. "Something' I said?" *** Naomi had explained to the superiors who he was, and he was let into the base, a new recruit, they called him - he would be tested, of course he would be. He was told that they couldn't trust him, and he would have to prove himself, none of it really surprised him. He was a stranger in a secret base - everyone present was committing treason and would probably die if ever found out. Aro was handed a red arband, the shade matching that of his tie, and he grinned as he put that on his arm, the band tightening on the outside of his jacket. The woman he assumed was the leader went on a to discuss their plans, he never had been much for caring about the big picture, he did what he was told, he didn't really care for why, he trusted the chain of command, even if truly.. This place didn't seem to have that much command. He nodded at Naomi. "Who that?", whispering as if not to interrupt the speech. Once the speech was over, they were told to interact, get to know their fellow rebels, and Aro grinned. "Anyone care to bum me a smoke?" Heading for the mess hall.

He's taller than most of his peers, being almost as tall as most adults. His eyes are blue, with a red nasty scar running down his right eye - the scar caused by him falling off the swings, right into kunai lying in the sand, only a couple of inches from poking his eye out. Besides that, he has a tattoo on his left shoulder, running down over his chest - a pinup of a Kunoichi, with green hair and bandages over her bussom under a cut flack-jacket, showing off her belly. Aro always dresses in a casual looking suit, much to the dismay of his seniors - chinos, dress shirt, tie and sports jacket. All in black, except for the shirt and the tie, which are white and red, respectively. Black gloves don his hands, or his pocket. His red hair is usually braided or in a ponytail, keeping the front unkempt. Personnel files. 【Full Name】 Aroshima Sarutobi. 【Alias】 Aro - The Stormchaser 【Affiliation】 Soon to be Crimson Scholars. ( Red Sages.) 【Age】 18 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Yes. 【Birthplace】 Konoha 【Bloodline】 Uzumaki 【Rank】 Chunnin Psych. report. 【Personality】 Aro is a little egocentric, he's not uncaring, or easily excitable, but he is self-assured. He speaks his mind, saying exactly what he means and never beating his chest. He knows his strengths and his weaknesses, proudly proclaiming his positive traits, and doing his best to hide his weaknesses. He is truly something of a believer - as most of his clansmen tend to be, his head sometimes in the clouds, instead of on the task ahead of him. However, his natural slacker tendencies have been all but eradicated thanks to the disciplined upbringing of the Sarutobi Household. He's a excellent soldier, and a free thinker. He might be a jack of all trades and a master of none - or he might be the best of both worlds. Discipline and self-awareness working in perfect harmony. 【History】 He was born in Konoha, his parents both shinobi at the time - his father a jounin and his mother a special chunnin. He grew up in a tough household, being expected to keep up the standards of his fellow Sarutobi, despite showing none of their natural prowess for the ninjutsu arts. In the academy, he was popular due to being social and a easily approachable guy. He wasn't too loud, he wasn't too quiet - he was always ' right on the curve'. He was mediocre, truly. He graduated at 12, and was put in a team with two other kids, just like everyone else. He grew a lot during this time, able to graduate into chunnin at the age of 16, now showing true prowess, proving himself as a fighter and shinobi, using his wits instead of his chakra to overcome challenges. He made headway during the third part of the chunnin exam, where he made his opponent surrender without throwing a single punch, but instead simply talked to him, using his charisma to convince his opponent that maybe his purpose in life wasn't to be a chunnin - maybe he wanted to be something else. His opponent went on to be a baker, a damn good one. Aro's always been fascinated with the power of nature - of storms, in particular, ever since he was little and a storm tore through the Sarutobi compound, lightning running down the big oak tree in the center, leaving beautiful marks. Due to his fascination with the natural phenomenon he has made a name for himself as The Stormchaser - always on a adventure to find a storm, and tailoring his techniques after said storms. 【Family ties】 His mother was a proud member of the Uzumaki clan, strong, passionate and incredibly caring, his father a warrior of the Sarutobi clan, concerned with the fate of the world. They were joined thanks to their love for poetry, and found their love in the craft. He grew up in the Sarutobi clan grounds, being trained like one of the clan famous for their tendency to breed prodigies. His childhood was hard - but not too hard. His mother is currently very sick with a form of cancer, and his father is a retired shinobi, unable to continue his work because of many battle earned injuries.

Nami Uzumaki \| Mother \| 41, Konoha, None. and currently in the hospital under intensive care. 【Dreams and fears】 Aro is a dreamer, that is true. But what are his dreams, truly? Well, at first sight, it strikes me like the only things he cares about are steak dinner and female civilians to flirt with. But over a few sessions, it's clear that he has a deeper purpose. He cares, he really does care. About who, and for what purpose? It's impossible to really tell, it's a question best left for time to answer. When asked to talk about his fears, Aro shrugged and said he was afraid of not being enough, that his fears was really not something he thought about a lot. He sometimes felt a little anxious, being part of the lead clan of the nobles in Konoha came with a burden all within itself, after all. Combat reports. 【Fighting style】 The short and curly is that Aro is a brawler, taking influence from the kickboxing style of martial arts, amplifying it with the use of his knuckle dusters. Relying on momentum-based strikes and his natural agility to defeat his opponent with his taijutsu. However, despite this, he is not stupid, and on multiple occasions proven to be a thinker, using his natural affinity for seal-based techniques, mix with his elemental jutsu to defeat foes more powerful than him. 【Ninja techniques】 B rank techniques: Great Dragon Fire Technique Lightning Release: Flying Swallow Ash Pile Burning C rank techniques: Great Fireball D-E rank techniques: All Academy Techniques. 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Lightning Release: Lightning Rider Rank: A Range: Effective range - Melee. Description: Aro channels a lightning bolt through his body, using it to literally ride the lightning towards the ground, at the same speed the bold naturally travels. The energy of the bolt circumventing in his fist, leading to a tremendous amounts of power being channeled through his hand and knuckle duster. While it is primarily a single target attack, it could be used to straight up attack the ground, causing a shockwave able to shatter the ground in a small area. A direct hit is often a direct sentence to the hospital - or worse. Naturally, the power of the technique comes from the speed as few can outrun the speed of a lighting bolt. However, the speed is it's own drawback as it can quite easily harm Aro, leaving him in a weakened state after using it, usually even dislocating his arm. The glaring flaw with the technique is that it's hard to aim as he has no natural way of controlling the bolt. It soley relies on the concept of hitting someone with the bolt of lightning - a bolt Aro cannot throw. Jutsu name: Sealing Technique: Homing Lightning. Rank: C Range: Melee Description: Aro places a seal on a opponent, object or ally which works as a chakra infused lightning rod, leading the electric discharge directly to the target. This technique, just like Lightning Rider, relies on a strong current of electricity being present, something Aro has no means of generating on his own accord. Jutsu name: Red Fang Strike Rank: C Range: Melee. Description: A Series of four to six punches executed by Aros trademark kickbox style of brawling, leaning in close before unleashing the combination which is made more deadly with his electric flying sparrow technique. 【Weapons:】 He carries a set of knuckle dusters. And a pack of cigarettes, a zippo lighter, too.
51,177	1,381	84	1,663	1,134	Yudai KageyamaWithin the Red Sages base Red Sages Upon entering the conference room, Yudai could feel as if he had been... watched? Or something akin to that, something strange - a sensation that made him furrow his brow slightly in his seat. He cast a quick glance around, his eyes roaming past Seijo; he never focused on her, even while she was speaking. Not as disrespect, of course, it was just the manner Yudai couldn't quite focus on something with his eyes; he was still paying attention. A boy, with a red-hair - who was in fact close to Yudai an hour or two ago - began speaking openly about his desire to give a beautiful Uchiha girl a beautiful death, a smirk practically forced itself onto Yudai's lips and he had to contain himself to avoid mocking his rebel colleague. The Lady-Commander's next words, which disregarded what he said in an utterly fashionable way, made Yudai's smirk shift into a wide, broad grin: Just look at how powerful she is! She didn't had the need to care about any of them or their desires, because she was a leader. A LEADER. Yudai made a self-note to remind this exact phrase so he could use it one day, when HE became a leader. First, she notified that the only mission she'd detail in public, was her own. And thus, the images of a warehouse in what Yudai assumed to be Amegakure - later confirmed by Seijo - were shown. She began briefing them with the needed information... Madara's Gunbai... Sasuke's sword. Just the ring of those names, the names that wrote story and became legends years ago, Yudai could barely believe they were actually getting that far within their missions. Then. His name. Yudai was going to be on this mission with Seijo, Nori and someone he wasn't acknowledged with. Right, he was put in the team which would take the important mission for now, this was simply amazing - in a way, Yudai felt as if he had double responsability, but the young man remained perfectly quiet in his seat, watching as other names were called, there was a bit of chattery around, mostly comments about who's name had been called or so. Soon, the speech ended and finally they were 'free'. The man made his way directly to his room. In there, he began separating his battle attire and tidying some pouches and satchels up, mostly for carrying anything he'd need. Once done, he headed out to the hall and just stood there, leaning against a wall, eyes watching everyone who he found interesting enough. Perhaps it was time to socialize a bit more with his newfound teammate, Nori, but he'd do it later. UchihaSunagakure Military Facility, lecture hall The Hamajõ Confederation There was Kaori Uchiha. The events today had been very tiring and honestly, she didn't want to be here so soon, but alas, orders were orders. She arrived pretty early, but wasn't anywhere near the first few to arrive. There were quite a few shinobi around already and the cat-shinobi being was coughing on the mic, likely to call everyone's attention or something like that. Soon, Kaori sat down onto a seat, throwing a leg over the other, hands resting gently over hips. Her eyes blinked slowly as she took a deep breath, gaze settling on the creature for the time being. It had begun it's... speech. The way it spoke was disgustingly annoying, with the strange habit of swearing upon everything. It seemed as if it didn't want to be here, either, and Kaori couldn't understand why it was a chosen commander; it made no sense. Likely for simply being powerful. Or perhaps, it deserved being a commander: Kaori simply hated that creature, it was the resentment from having to take orders from something that previously killed two members of the Uchiha clan. She just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible. Naomi UzumakiThe Red Sages And so, with Aroshima finally 'in', Naomi could proceed to the conference room within the base. Aro tagged along, as it natural, and they sat alongside one another. The shinobi soon began filling the room entirely and the speech began - not before a red-haired boy caught everyone's attention with some babbling nonsense about an Uchiha. Naomi couldn't help but frown slightly; she was professional in terms of well, being a shinobi, and this kind of thing easily bothered her to the maximum. A shinobi does not picks their kill like that; they kill on necessity or on orders and done. That was the extreme example of how not to be a shinobi, but an emotional man without self-control to complete tasks. She didn't voice her disdain, though. Instead, she'd answer Aro's question with a whisper to his ear. "Seijo Tametono. Lady-Commander, sister to the fallen Tarara Tametono." Yudai, Nori and Anzai were the first names, who would take the most important mission together with Seijo. Next, Naomi, Chieko and Aroshima.. Well, she expected them to put her in the same team as him, naturally. The next name, made Naomi frown ever so slightly; Arima was the leader's cousin, but he wasn't particularly brilliant or even good. Just.. average, all in all. She wondered how he'd fare as a leader, nonetheless. Lastly, Katsuko and Mikoto - the boy who went ahead with the nonsense previously. There, the briefing was done. As soon as they were liberated from the conference room, Naomi proceeded to walk to the hall, standing a few meters from Aroshima. She'd just observe and see if he'd strike conversation with someone; he was quick to socialize, different from Naomi herself.	Nero's Compendium! "Pillars are what support a structure, but if one ever crumbles, all of them will fall.” Yudai is a tall and somewhat imposing young man, standing at 5'8" \| 1,78m. His physique appears to be lean, but on closer inspection one could notice that he's in fact fit, with subtle musculature definition everywhere on his body. His hair is a dark brown color and often unkempt, as if he didn't care at all about the way it looks - this is slightly contradicting to the fact that his ears are pierced, which possibly proves that the boy does cares about his appearance. His pale blue eyes constantly flicker from point to point, rarely focusing on something for too long - some note that he always looks distant, as if not paying any attention to his surroudings. The Kanji on his clothes are 影山 (Kageyama, his family name). Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Every aspect of Yudai, at least externally and from his appearance itself, seems distant. His gaze is a constant reminder of this, given the way it roams the whole time, briefly pausing on his surroundings before he takes interest in something else again. Even when Yudai is directly talking to someone, he avoids eye-contact entirely and if someone even tries to stare at him or look directly at his eyes for too long, he'll become rapidly nervous and anxious and might even avoid the person in question for a while. Otherwise, Yudai is relaxed, but extremely observant. His mind is constantly noticing what is actually happening around him and thus, while others might see him as distracted and distant, he's the opposite. He finds his own life rather boring the majority of time which prompts him to search for enthusiasm on other things out on the world. He's also easily interested in hearing stories from others, or even simply listening others talk about their own life. He has his own ambitions of becoming a highly respected political figure or leader, one day. But on the way the world is currently, he shoved such ambitions away and for now, he's only focused on strengthening himself. 【History】 Yudai's birth came from the love between Reiko and Kohaku - sadly, however, Reiko died due to complications at his birth. While the expected outcome was his father to put the blame on him and give Yudai the worst life ever, in order for this story to follow the traditional hero backstory guide, the opposite happened. Kohaku Kageyama was a hard-working man. He used to be a powerful shinobi many years ago, but lost his left eye and his right hand was completely destroyed in the same battle, thus leaving him unapt for battle for the rest of life. The loss of his wife could've disgraced his life forever, but instead, he found new hope on his newborn child, Yudai - the name 'Yudai' itself, was to show the man's hope of a hero, not for the nation, not for the world, but a hero that would save Kohaku himself from utter depression. Which Yudai indeed did. As any other child, he was very, very curious about everything and from the day he began learning his first words, he'd frequently ask his father about everything. Even about the eyepatch the man wore on his left eye, about the bandages around the man's right hand - and when the man began explaining about shinobi, about the wars.. Well, Yudai only became more interested in it altogether. Often, Yudai and Kohaku spent hours chatting about whatever, the subject leaped from how eggs were produced to why the sky was blue. As he matured, reaching the age of eleven, Yudai slowly began developing a strange desire to be someone who had a high position. Power. He wanted to be esteemed in a way that people would admire and respect because of his achievements in life. Of course, it was too soon to think about that, and Yudai was a mere child with an ambition bigger than himself. For now, the boy focused on studying and training. He had taken an immense interest in shinobi. In fact, he spent more time reading about chakra, taijutsu and ninjutsu than he spent studying the school's subjects, which was the reason he almost failed the year. His father aided him when he could, he gave his son clear training routines and made him follow them strictly. He felt immense pride in his son following the same steps as him, while the same time, was divided with the fear that he could end suffering the consequences of a war - like the man himself did. But, the thoughts that peace had finally settled in eased that fear. When Yudai graduated, at the age of 14, he knew exactly that his dream of becoming someone with high power was indeed his true ambition. You see, he received quite the praise for being a dedicated student - even if he almost failed in the past year, he dedicated himself the most to studying this one and got amazing grades, impressing his teachers and father. When they openly talked about him and his dedication, his heart pouded inside his chest with what he could only understand as recognition. Time eventually passed, Yudai grew into a fine - and very attractive - young man. He noticed that women around started to take interest in him, perhaps it was the pale blue eyes, but honestly, he didn't care all that much. Yudai did had quite a few cases with one or another girl here and there, but it never blossomed into a true relationship, he was that type of guy. In fact, the older Yudai got, the more he found his life... boring. It wasn't no one's fault, truly. It was just that his ambition - it was something that seemed far away from his reach, impossible - it was as if he could fight his whole life for it and yet, he'd never taste it. Finally, Yudai finished highschool. It was the same year that he also offically graduated to a chunin rank shinobi - and the year he finally took interest in his own life, even if only just a little. It all started with one group... the Red Sages. Initially, Yudai was very confused about his choices, when he heard about the group, many wrong ideas filled his mind. But, then, he shoved them away - for he knew in the end, that it was for his own best. You see, the Confederation might've been good for the countries, but it left no option for those who wanted to be something bigger or greater. They had nothing for those who wanted... recognition. In the opposite spectrum, the Red Sages were everything; he knew from the start that if he put his power, his will and his life onto it, like an investment, he'd receive what he wanted in return. He heard it - could be rumors indeed, but they were fulfilling rumors of rebels seeking something greater than an illusionary peace. 【Family ties】 Kageyama is an old and traditional family. The majority of it's members were shinobi, with exceptions. They are divided, with a minor part living in Iwagakure and a larger part living in Konohagakure. In Konohagakure, Kageyama were known for running a restaurant which goes by the name of Yama-Yama.

Not only that, he also dreams of becoming an extremely powerful shinobi, in order to ease his own path towards greatness. He fears of not being recognized, or being 'just someone else' - a faceless individual who has nothing, no respect, glory of power. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Yudai is balanced between taijutsu and ninjutsu, rarely resorting to weapons or ranged weapons. He's very intelligent and tactical in his decisions, as if he had read everything there was to read regarding shinobi (which he probably did in his early life). See, while he's quite strong in hand-to-hand combat, Yudai's first choice is to always analyze his opponent. He appears to be MUCH more experienced and prepared than he truly is due to the manner he keeps himself extremely calm, in any situation. To him, a battle is nothing too different from his daily struggle with life itself. Normally, his Doton ninjutsu is used as a defensive manner, instead of offensively. Thus, he'll always avoid ranged assaults with it. Sometimes, he'll use it offensively as nintaijutsu, but only if he finds a true opening to do so. What Yudai lacks is withstanding power. He might have defensive methods with Doton, but he can't take many hits - neither last too long in a battle. His stamina isn't the greatest, nor is his chakra pool; in most battles, he either needs to drop his foes quickly, or avoid in a way or another fighting after he begins tiring. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: N/A Description: Yudai does not possess a kekkei genkai. Strengths: N/A Weaknesses: N/A 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: -- B rank techniques: Doton - Doryūheki Doton - Iwayado Kuzushi C rank techniques: Doton - Moguragakure no Jutsu D-E rank techniques: Doton - Doryū Taiga Doton - Doryūdan Doton - Shinjū Zanshu no Jutsu 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Doton - Kotai no Hakai Rank: A Range: Short/Self - hand to hand range. Description: This powerful technique developed by Yudai himself allows him to concentrate his doton chakra onto his hands and arms, coating them with a solid earthly surface. This requires minor constante chakra usage, but it's not very taxing in the long run. What taxes Yudai's chakra sources, however, is the uses this 'chakra armor' has. When used offensively, Yudai can promptly force earthly spikes to surge from anywhere on his arms - fingers, hands, elbows, shoulders; thus, he make turn what would be an easily readed attack onto an unexpected one. Additionally, this also has defensive uses, meaning that when under assault, Yudai can place his arms together and create a defensive shield that protects him from assasults. This defense is powerful enough to withstand some ninjutsu (especially katon), but is ineffective against futon and raiton. The chakra coating can last for a long time if nor the offensive or defensive effects are used, but whenever Yudai chooses to use them, he'll be drained very quickly. Jutsu name: Doton - Jishin Rank: B Range: Long - a large circular area around Yudai (35m roughly) Description: Yudai does the following handseals: Bird, Dog, Ram, Rat. Then, he leans down and slams both of his hands at the ground, causing a large area around him to erupt onto a shattering earthquake, those standing around him will find it impossible to stand without falling - and falling, means taking huge damage as the doton chakra breaks the earth apart and makes them wildly throw about. The center, where Yudai stands, is completley unaffected. This technique might sound powerful and it indeed is, if used in the center of a village for example, he could likely destroy whole buildings easily --- but he'd be killed before major damage was caused, so this is just an example. Otherwise, agile shinobi who can leap and move far away from the area will easily avoid it. If Yudai is attacked or distracted, it will stop as well. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Can be a term, i.e 'kunai' or it can be a self given name, i.e 'Revered Razor'. Weapon, tool or object type: What type of weapon, tool or object is this? Sword, axe, kunai, knife, blade, tanto. Omit if the weapon, tool or object name already designates this. Description: Describe the weapon, tool or objects appearance, and describe it's potentials and weaknesses. tl;dr how powerful is it and what does it look like. Be reasonable. “I hate... ... No, seriously. I can't stand anything that tastes too sweet. It's.. uhng. Bad.” Kaori has an average height and weight, standing at 5'5" and 127lbs, she also has a slender figure with only slightly curves, though one might notice that she was rather wide hips - from likely training and improving her own body. Kaori has a round face, with large eyes, a delicate and small nose and thin lips. Her jet black hair falls well past her shoulders and is often groomed, kept well clean and it even smells nicely; though there are always a few wild strands here and there. She dresses rather simply, keeping a black and grey theme in her attire. She wears a high-collared black shirt, with a short grey jacket with the Uchiha's clan symbol on it's back, a pair of fingerless black gloves and black shorts, together with a pair of knee-high black boots with metallic platings on their nose.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Kaori is usually seen as a cheerful young girl who's still inexperienced to the world's hardships, but that's simply because of her manner of expressing herself; she's kind, even gentle to certain extent and isn't fond of conflicts, always preferring peaceful manners unless using force is an absolute must. That's not to say she's scared of fighting though, Kaori simply adores friendly spars and testing her own abilities- otherwise, she wouldn't ever take training as serious as she does. Despite her cheerful nature, Kaori is not exactly a social butterfly. See, she believes that being positive and keeping her spirit high is helpful to herself and to others in a way. However, it's very rare for Kaori to approach someone and talk openly, rather, she's quite timid and avoids talking unless she's talked to first and usually, being talked to makes her very happy. When it comes to her clan, the Uchiha, Kaori takes high pride in them. In fact, she believes herself superior but doesn't voices it - unless she gets too excited in a battle, to notice. She views the Sharingan as a gift, but only uses it in battle when she clearly needs it, given she has this slight fear of overusing or overshowing her doujutsu, especially in consideration with the events of the past that has led others to develop a distrust towards the sharingan. This same distrust, is what makes Kaori very cautious about talking to strangers, after all, there is still some prejudice against the sharingan specifically, given the events of the past, given the way things are - given the Confederation's actions against some of Kaori's brethren. Lastly, Kaori is very comprehensible and whenever she relates to someone, she tends to become very interested in developing a friendship. She has no interest in any sort of romantic interaction, after all, she's pretty sure she's not the one to gather that sort of interest, anyway. 【History】 Kaori's early life has been quite different than the usual. See, both her mother and her father are shinobi - both also very strict in the sense of pointing Kaori in the same direction as them: Which meant she was trained from the day she could walk. Kaori had two siblings, both boys, one older by a few years and the other, two years older than her. Their names were Kichirou and Keiji, respectively. Kichirou was an arrogant man, see, he had the Sharingan and that very motive led him to be, simply put, an asshole towards mostly everyone. Filled with pride beyond limit, he thought of himself as utterly superior - being a prodigy didn't help. Kichirou was way above the average when it came to shinobi, with only eleven years, he achieved the feat of developing a second chakra nature which was the reason he was then hailed as a genius. Kaori was only six when this happened, while Keiji was eight - he had just entered school. Usually, both trained together but Keiji was too focused at school, he had a peculiar desire of being an inventor or scientist - Kaori could never understand clearly - that draws him away from the training fields. This was frowned upon by her parents, more specifically her father. The man had this strange... desire to blindly follow the Confederation, claiming that the Uchiha had to be a strong clan in order to prove and... redeem themselves. Kaori would only understand that years later. On a cold night, a few days before Kaori's 7th birthday, a scene marked her forever. Through her window, she saw both her father and Keiji outside, having what seemed to be a small discussion. The boy held some books under his arms and was apparently refusing a 'gift' that Kaori's father was offering him - a katana. From the little Kaori could understand, Keiji tried to explain to their father that he wasn't interested in becoming a shinobi and that he believed there were other ways to help and be useful; in the end, all she could remember was Keiji being severely beaten by their own father while all she could do was watching. This forever changed the way she saw her father. War changes someone, truly. That was what had happened with Kaori's father, he was changed, molded by war. Perhaps he believed that it would happen again and wanted his offsprings to be prepared, perhaps it was something else, perhaps he was simply put, insane. Kaori never quite understand his fixation with training and becoming stronger, but what she could understand is that her oldest brother wasn't the only gifted Uchiha of this family, for that night, Kaori's anger and fear evoked a power hidden within her; she awakened her Sharingan. However, she never told her father. Instead, that motivated her to train more. It wasn't to please the man, no, it was to fulfill herself. Her older brother could be as arrogant as she wanted, but Keiji was always there for her, and she, for him. The boy returned to train with Kaori and for the first time in all these eleven years, she had beaten him - and very easily, too. The excitement and buildup of this whole spar awarded Kaori with a second tomoe in her left eye and brought immense surprise to Keiji, but he promised to never tell anyone. During school, all Kaori thought was when it'd end so she could return to her training; she wasn't a bright student, honestly, but Keiji who was seriously smart helped her a lot. When she was close to turning 12, her oldest brother was found dead within the village's borders. This utterly crushed the family, but specifically, Kaori's father entered a state of depression. He treated the whole family as if it was their fault and practically locked himself in his room for a whole year, very rarely getting out. During this time, Kaori had improved a lot. By now, she had developed three tomoes on her left eye, and two on her right eye. Her reaction time, reflexes and precision had seen a jump, and so had her genjutsu and ninjutsu. Her mother, a genjutsu specialist, taught her a few things which aided her. Keiji had been awarded a prize of best student of the year or something akin to that which Kaori never knew roughly in the same date Kaori's sharingan fully matured. The following years went by swiftly, Kaori trained and improved, developing jutsu of her own - while her older brother started working as a project analyst or something of the sort, within the Confederate. She received a pleasant gift from him on her sixteen birthday: A sword, Keiji guaranteed her that this prototype was much more resistant and that wouldn't break or melt easily as the many other swords Kaori had destroyed until now. He also mentioned that the sword was specifically made to withstand katon chakra - and lastly, he made Kaori an offer. To join the Confederate, given her potential as a shinobi. She thought for a while, truth be spoken she was quite afraid of becoming as crazy as her father, but the girl ended up giving a wild smile and agreeing with him. 【Family ties】 As an Uchiha, Kaori'll have ties with mostly any Uchiha, period. But they're all pretty vague apart from her own family itself. Takeshi Uchiha \| Father \| 53, Konohagakure, ex-Veteran, temporarily retired-confederate jounin Takeshi retired due to his trauma after his older son's death, he has yet to recover. Michiko Uchiha \| Mother \| 44, Konohagakure, shinobi - genjutsu specialist Kichirou Uchiha \| Brother \| 26, Konohagakure, deceased Keiji Uchiha \| Middle-Brother \| 18, Konohagakure, confederate project analyst 【Dreams and fears】 Kaori has yet to find true dreams and ambitions to follow. She's young and still looking for something to, well, follow. Maybe an ideal. Honestly, her fears are very vague, as well. She partially fears her own father, but her biggest fear is losing her brother Keiji, who has been the closest person to her since ever. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Kaori focuses on using Fire Release to dispel of her foes, burning them down, together with very efficient genjutsu provided by her Sharingan. She's experienced in hand to hand, but it's easy to tell her taijutsu is her weaker side - even with the added aid from the Sharingan abilities provide her. While Taijutsu is a weak spot, her Kenjutsu is noticeably better, as her movements with a sword are clearly trained and precise, especially given she can use her blade together with fire release in order to increase it's efficiency. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Sharingan Description: The Sharingan (写輪眼, Literally meaning: Copy Wheel Eye, Meaning (Viz): Mirror Wheel Eye) is the dōjutsu kekkei genkai of the Uchiha clan that appears selectively among its members. It is regarded as one of the Three Great Dōjutsu (三大瞳術, San Daidōjutsu, Literally meaning: Three Great Eye Techniques), the others being the Byakugan and the Rinnegan. Strengths: Kaori's Sharingan is fully matured, meaning that it has three tomoes on each eye. This means that when active, Kaori is granted both abilities; the Eye of Insight, giving her the ability to see chakra in different colors in order to distinguish composition and source, an incredibly clarity of perception, meaning that she can see even very fast attacks with some ease and she's capable of minimum predictive abilities, anticipating an opponent's next move or attack and lastly, copy jutsu - but only those she has the ability and knowledge to replicate. Secondly, she's granted the "Eye of Hypnotism", which means Kaori can perform what is generically called Genjutsu: Sharingan. While there are various manifestations and purposes of the ability, the better known one is to, through eye contact, suggest thoughts and actions to a target, coercing them to divulge information or act in a particular way, potentially without the target's awareness. In extreme cases, the Sharingan user can take complete control of the target's body, forcing them to do exactly as the controller wishes; this control is visually indicated by the Sharingan's design appearing in the target's eye. Kaori's ability with this is actually pretty good, a momentarily eye-contact with her Sharingan active is enough to put her opponent in a dangerous genjutsu. Weaknesses: The Sharingan is a worldly known Dojutsu, thus, everyone should be able to recognize it instantly. This makes the Genjutsu very hard to apply, as all the opponent needs to do, is avoid eye-contact. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: N/A B rank techniques: Katon: Gōka Mekkyaku Katon: Haisekishō C rank techniques: Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu D-E rank techniques: Genjutsu: Sharingan While Kaori is skilled to certain extent, she has yet to achieve a grand power-level with genjutsu used through her sharingan. In a brief eye contact, she can merely put her opponent(s) in a simpler genjutsu, that requires little to no effort to break them (if they know how to do so). If there is prolonged eye contact however, she'll be able to cast greater genjutsu. 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Ken Katai (Fire Sword) Rank: C~A Range: Self / Sword's Range Description: Kaori flows an intense blazing chakra through her sword's blade, coating the whole blade with it. The more chakra she uses, the more noticeable it gets given the sword's blade begins turning a slight shade of red - until reaching the maximum, a deep crimson color. The amount of chakra also changes the effects and their strength. If Kaori only uses a minor amount of chakra (C rank), the blade's cutting power increases slightly, the heat makes leave dents whenever it strikes another simple sword or iron object, if in contact with skin, it burn while it cuts. If moderate chakra is applied (B rank) her sword becomes denser and can cut through other swords of average material with some force applied. If it cuts, it will instantly seal the wound - preventing blood, but causing immense pain. With the maximum Kaori can achieve (A rank), the sword's heat raises it's potency to where it could easily cut through iron and even steel, as well as bones with ease. This technique, if applied on an average sword, would only last a few seconds at maximum potency due to how the chakra would also melt the blade it was applied to, itself, but Kaori can keep this technique up for as long as her chakra allows due to her own blade, which would be two to three hours with C rank, one to two hours at B rank, and only two minutes when it achieves the maximum heat (2~3 posts, depending on the time ICly). Jutsu name: Genjutsu: Burning Hell Rank: B Range: Medium Description: Kaori does the required handseals (Tiger, boar, dragon) while she takes a deep breath, then, she exhales the air in the form of a strange smoke that will divide and proceed to form a circle around a small area, before igniting ablaze. This fire, by itself, is harmless. However, if an enemy feels the fire's heat, they'll slowly fall onto a genjutsu prepared by Kaori together with this technique. The heat will increase even if they move away from the flames and they'll eventually increase to the point where it's unbearable, the opponent might try to take their clothes off, throw water onto their body, drink water - no matter, it will never work and the heat will only increase, eventually they'll feel as if every drop of water in their body has been dried and pass out, if the genjutsu is not broken. 【Weaponry, tools and objects】 Weapon, tool or object name: Hinõken Weapon, tool or object type: A katana. Description: Hikoken looks like a simple katana, with a red, beautiful handle. The sword is of excellent craft and it's blade is chakra resistant, allowing the wielder to flow their chakra through it - the blade is specifically repective to katon chakra, which is the reason it was given to Kaori. “Let's end this quickly.” As usual to Uzumaki, Naomi's hair is a crimson red, it's short - with two bangs framing her face and the back is spiky, styled per her own taste. She wears simple silver earrings on each ear and a thin black eyeliner, meaning that she seemingly cares about her outward appearance. Her eyes are a vivid green, intense and large, usually her most prominent trait when one looks directly at her face. She's always wearing a scarf around her neck, the color varies but she usually sports a mix of red, green, yellow and dark orange scarves. Naomi wears a sleeveless dark gray jacket with a simple light gray blouse underneath, a pair of red fingerless gloves that reach her elbows (the seals of her Kuchiyose: Raikō Kenka are placed on the gloves) and slate gray tight pants that are tucked onto a pair of black boots. Notably, the only visible color on the woman's figure is her scarf and her hair. Her figure is slender yet curvaceous, with notable curves adorning her body. Some satchels are seen; one wrapped around her left thigh, another on her right shoulder and a larger one on the right side of her waist. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Naomi is usually seen as arrogant and stuck up due to her cold demeanor and for being otherwise cool-headed. Thing is, she's not arrogant or stuck up, she simply takes being a shinobi as her life, in and out of a mission or task; she's focused, always, and eliminates any emotion that could possibly disrupt her performance. Considered cruel by those who are more sensitive than her, Naomi takes the death of comrades lightly, analyzing it often with 'the enemy was a better shinobi than him/her', this is not entirely true though, Naomi feels the death of a comrade as anyone else capable of feeling would, she just keeps her suffering to herself and hides it entirely. Being so cold and closed off emotionally, it's hard to befriend anyone - not that she wants to, anyway. Naomi doesn't cares about forming bonds with others, surely there has been an increasing trend of forming bonds within the younger shinobi, but she denies them completely. She also doesn't care about hostility, insults or whatever else, she ignores them completely and even when provoked, she keeps the same stoic expression she always has. In battle is where her emotions flow with intensity above her usual: The adrenaline makes so whenever she's hit, she'll smirk or grin smugly, whenever she hits something, you'll see the same smirk but much broader than before. The more fast paced a battle is, the more she'll enjoy it thoroughly and the more she'll dedicate to the fight. Still, it's very rare for her to exchange words with the opposing shinobi, given her self-control that's dominant even above the adrenaline. Talk about dedication, Naomi is very dedicated to her job as a shinobi - and well, to everything else. As one of her philosophies in life, which is to do everything you do the best way you can, she truly dedicates herself entirely whenever she needs to do something and despises those who's nature is being lazy and avoid hard-work. She also tends to despise those who are gifted with power that requires no true work whatsoever; an example would be those who possess the well known dojutsu (Sharingan or Byakugan). This is a bit hypocritical given she's gifted with the Uzumaki's clan natural strong lifeforce and chakra resources. She sympatizes the most with individuals who are similarly hard-working and dedicate themselves in something and may be willing to interact with them, but forming any close bond is practically impossible as of now. Commonly, Naomi spends a good portion of her day training and improving herself. Distracting her from that usually ends with a huff or a sigh, or any minor sign of annoyance that she'll allow herself to do. Still, she won't scold anyone over anything, ever - she's calm and collected, after all, not arrogant and stuck up. She's actually pretty fine with aiding others if they need so (with training or whatever else), even. She may be a bit self-centered and cold, emotionally, but she's not a psycho who's only emotion ever is adrenaline while fighting. To certain extent, Naomi is capable of being friendly, it all depends the mannerisms of whoever she talks or interacts with. Highly concerned with herself, Naomi fears death above everything else, despite her otherwise cold demeanor and the way she enjoys fighting. When an opponent is clearly overwhelming and above her skill level, she'll... fear them. Of course, trained to hide her emotions, she won't show it at all. This extends itself to allies, out of all the things she's ashamed about herself, the fact that she couldn't possibly put her life in risk in order to save another's is her 'biggest shame'. 【History】 Two Years ago. Naomi's eyes briefly flutter closed, reopening to look down at her extended right palm, a hitai-ate with Konohagakure's symbol resting over it, together with blood that was slowly being washed away by the rain. The girl looks up at the sky, raindrops mixing themselves with the tears that silently made their way down her cheeks. She closed her eyes again. Next to her, was a corpse - a female, with a pale white hair, she was clearly dead - with some blood under her, slowly mixing itself with the water from the intense rain. Suddenly, the kunoichi falls onto her knees, she's completely wet due to the rain at this point. Her palms rest against the ground, pressing the hitai-ate firmly against it. She sobs quietly, but only for a moment before taking a deep breath to recompose herself. "Is this what I'm fighting for? This is what the Confederation has to offer me? THIS IS PEACE?!" With her left hand, Naomi punches the ground with all the force she could muster in her current state. It does nothing. "That's the very least the Confederation will offer you, my dear." A mysterious voice. Masculine. Naomi instantly stood up and held a kunai up, looking around her in an attempt to find it's source. She couldn't see anyone, at all. "We, the Red Sages, we only retaliate against the Confederation's attempt to CRUSH us time and time again. We provoked a war, but only to reclaim what's rightfully ours." The voice, this time, was directly behind her. When she turned, ready to strike the kunai onto the man, he had already disappeared, or so it seemed. He was so fast, that she couldn't keep up with his movements despite how close he was. When she turned, he grabbed her wrist and twisted it back, forcing her to drop the kunai. At this moment, Naomi knew that whoever this man was, he was powerful. Her eyes widened and her breath fastened, she was fearing the outcome of this: Her death. "Do you realize? My only desire was to explain you why your friend lies dead at your feet. Why this system, this PEACE is nothing but a bold lie, explicitly shoved down the throats of all brain dead imbeciles that follow the confederation's tyranny out of nothing but FEAR." Suddenly, the man threw her hand back, grabbed her by both shoulders and shoved her down, forcefully throwing the girl onto the ground. As she looked up, directly into his eyes, he smirked. Those eyes... The Sharingan of the Uchiha, most certainly. And then, she feel in a genjutsu; not to torture, not to destroy her. It was a different genjutsu, that Naomi had never experienced. She was seeing through his eyes - it all, whenever it was a lie, it was vivid and felt real. It... was real. And she could hear his voice in the back of her mind, explaining in detail what she was seeing. The struggle and suffering you are seeing, it's product of the Confederation's corruption. Of it's failed systems, of it's members extravagance and luxurious life. While he explained, she saw it all. Robbers risking their life for a loaf of bread, farmers struggling with what little they had... Then, acts of tyranny; overwhelming attacks from masses of Confederation shinobi against small rebel camps and not only that, they attacked shinobi and average folks alike, even farmers that were simply next to the rebel's camps, all were destroyed, nearly instantly. Some rebels rushed to defend themselves, but were quickly put down; there was a prominent figure that stood out in the Confederate's forces, someone Naomi knew. Then, darkness. Everything became dark. (You may close the rainymood now, if you were so kind to keep it open in order to increase immersion) When she woke up, she was in a crude basement of sorts. Crude, but functional. Many red-sage shinobi moved from a place to another, some carried wooden crates, others were simply chatting about. When she sat up, she was approached by the same figure as before: he looked far less intimidating. There was some movement, people stood up and moved away - soon, she was left alone with him. And then, the offer was made; to join them, or be set free. Strange, weren't they carnage-seeking devils? The man naturally explained their whole cause. In the end, after everything she had seen through the previous genjutsu, she couldn't refuse. Someone had to stop the Confederation. At first, it was difficult taking such an enormous step that changed completely her life - and the majority of the red sages distrusted her presence as a whole, being previously sided with the Confederation. But, on her first missions, minor or not, as a red sage, she showed that she had indeed placed her loyalty with them. After being showed the truth through such a brutal manner, it was difficult not to. As a side note, this is only the chapter which explains how Naomi switched sides. She's currently secretive about being a part of the Red Sages, nonetheless. 【Family ties】 Naomi's family was healthy until the death of her mother, which threw her father in an enraged state; he then became increasingly harder to deal with. The man took his own life when Naomi was seven, that changed her forever. Aika Uzumaki \| Mother \| 39, Konohagakure, deceased at the age of 26 Itama Uzumaki \| Father \| 42, Konohagakure, took his own life at the age of 30 【Dreams and fears】 Naomi dreams of one day overcoming her biggest fear, which is dying currently and she wants to find a way to stop feeling fear as a whole, knowing that such emotion is a result of cowardness. Note that overcoming death is not, well, dying. She just knows that clinging so much to her own life as a shinobi is rather embarassing. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 With an enhanced life-force and vast chakra resource, Naomi is certainly not above keeping a constant offensive on her foes, only falling defensive if she's overwhelmed or outnumbered. Her speed, agility, flexibility and reflexes are impressive. She has trained herself to have some great precision with her attacks, as well. From a medium distance, she's dangerous due to her shurikenjutsu prowess and in close-combat, she's a force to be reckoned with. Long distance, she falls short due to the drop in effectiveness of her shurikenjutsu. She also lacks effective defensive mechanisms, relying on dodging and avoiding being hit to keep herself safe. Her endurance is solid, as any Uzumaki - so is her stamina. In drawn out fights against opponents of the same level as her, she might have advantage due to taking much longer to get tired. Due to her chakra being vast, she's capable of utilizing the Shadow Clone technique, often gaining an advantage on single fights. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu B rank techniques: Kage Bunshin no Jutsu Kuchiyose: Raikō Kenka C rank techniques: Kuchiyose no Jutsu D-E rank techniques: Kaifū no Jutsu Kawarimi no Jutsu Shunshin no Jutsu 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Raiton: Kaminari Yoroi (Lightning Release: Thunder Armor) Rank: B Range: Self Description: Naomi covers her body is lightning chakra, using the lightning to stimulate the her nervous system. By speeding up her neural synapses, she's able to react faster, and to push physical prowess to the absolute limit, allowing for tremendous raw speed. This, combined with Naomi's natural agility and reflexes, turns her into a fearsome opponent while active; it also enhances her lightning release techniques, allowing her to perform nintaijutsu moves and react to things that she otherwise wouldn't be able to. The chakra usage is not as intense as it looks on Naomi, given her vast chakra resources, meaning that she can keep this technique up for long periods of time. Wind techniques can shut the technique down, even if temporarily. This techniques does not increase Naomi's raw strength, only her speed and reflexes. Jutsu name: Raiton: Keikai Denka (Lightning Release: Nimble Charge) Rank: C Range: Close Description: Lightning Chakra is focused on Naomi's arms and shoulders, she'll dash recklessly towards a foe with immense speed produced by the previously activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode and attempt to slam them with her shoulder. This attack is simple all in all, but it's effective given the speed Naomi travels from her current position to her foes' position. If it hits, the opponent takes both taijutsu damage and the electricity might shock them for extra, yet minor damage. It may also cause minor damage to Naomi's shoulder, too. Jutsu name: Raiton: Kaminari Shuriken (Lightning Release: Lightning Shuriken) Rank: C Range: Medium, long with less effectiveness Description: Naomi produces three handseals (boar, dragon, snake) before taking a number of shuriken onto her hands and channeling lightning chakra through them, after she throws they'll gain speed and piercing power, able to break through minor earth release defenses. If they hit someone, the opponent'll receive a much deeper wound than they would to an average shuriken, and electricity will shock their body internally, causing weaker shinobi to fall unconscious if they're hit by more than five or so. Stronger nin could easily resist this, though. Jutsu name: Raiton: Kiyomemasu (Lightning Release: Cleanse) Rank: E Range: Self Description: A simple technique that functions with the same intent as the use of Kai to liberate yourself from a genjutsu. The difference is that if Naomi notices herelf under a genjutsu, she can simply do a single handed seal, producing lightning chakra of her own that enters her body and, if need be, even travels to her brain's vessel network and eliminates any foreign chakra that is trapping her under a genjutsu. The difference between this and the average method of leaving genjutsu, is that this technique acts faster and only a single hand is needed, if she's paralysed or restrained. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Many, many shuriken. Weapon, tool or object type: Shuriken Description: They are shuriken, sealed and ready to use in a random basement. They're likely summoned when she touches her wrists, the end. Weapon, tool or object name: Some kunai. Weapon, tool or object type: A kunai. Description: Usually kept in the pouches she carries with herself. Useful kunai. Weapon, tool or object name: Explosive Tags Weapon, tool or object type: An explosive tag. Description: They're explosive tags, but she only carries a small number of them to avoid accidents. Kept in a pouch on her shoulder. Weapon, tool or object name: Wire strings Weapon, tool or object type: Wire. Strings. Description: Usually used in conjuction with shuriken for unpredictable effects.
51,178	1,381	85	2,400	2,978	Tetsuba Zaisette Sunagakure's Military Facility - Lecture Hall @Pretty much everyone in the general vicinity What was this nonsense!? An entire day wasted at the festival, ruined by the red sages mind you, and then Zay was called to Sunagakure for some lousy ass meeting? The trip here didn't bode well with Zay's attitude, but it's not like he had a choice. This probably had something to do with the attack, so it wouldn't be long before they'd released him to return home, and sleep off this awful day as if it were nothing more than a fleeting nightmare. When was that annoying feline going to shut his undignified trap? Zay pondered silently near the back of the lecture hall, half-asleep with his head comfortably resting against the table, cradled in his bare arms. For once, he was wearing his sandals, after getting into a short confrontation with one of the overseeing shinobi, wherein he was scolded for his inappropriate attire. Luckily he could sate their ever-present hunger for etiquette with just his sandals. As soon as the phrase 'put a shirt on' came up, Zay took it upon himself to lecture the shinobi about the futility of clothing- Or something along those lines. Needless to say, he wasn't forced to put a shirt on after that. Hell, in Zay's mind, he'd planted the seeds of nudist philosophy in the minds of his fellow shinobi!.. He didn't, of course, but that wouldn't stop him from thinking otherwise. Yakoul's voice grated against Zay's eardrums mercilessly with every word. Damn cat. One sentence felt like an eternity, inflicted with dose after dose of cat scratch fever. It didn't help that Zay couldn't bare to look at the thing without the urge to laugh his ass into an undeserved oblivion. The general looked ridiculous! Was he really as strong as people made him out to be? Best not to assume otherwise. There's no telling just how horrible his fate could've been if Zay ended up laughing at Yakoul with reckless abandon. With that in mind, he kept his face buried between both arms, attempting to cover his ears in the process, unsuccessfully. Just as Zay was starting to tone out the annoying cat-thing up front, the table shook violently, and caused the silver-haired shinobi's head to slip forward and slam against the table rather abruptly. He shot up from his seat for a moment and cursed under his breath with a loud grunting noise, possibly attracting more attention to himself than he'd ever wanted in his life prior. Zay rubbed his forehead for a moment and turned to his left, where Setsuko, the Hyuga girl from earlier, had mistakenly slammed her weapon against the table. Oh fuck, was he to be blamed for this upset as well? Before he could sit down or say anything, the girl slunk under the table without a moment's notice. Zay blinked for a moment and slowly fell back into his chair, hoping that everyone would've overlooked that embarrassing mishap, mostly because he didn't want to have to explain standing up as Yakoul spoke the words: any of you have some bullshit to say? Zay craned his head around the room irritably, noticing several Shinobi from the festival sitting alongside him, until he noticed Higoho, standing against the wall directly behind him. Zay glared at him briefly, before lazily resting his head against his hand. His elbow slid silently across the table as the weight of his overbearing exhaustion slowly overcame what little patience he had left. "Of all the rotten luck," he wheezed in annoyance.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 In a word? Lazy. His lack of dedication, and methodical lifestyle is simply a byproduct of his mental lethargy. Zay is capable- Far more capable than most would like to admit, but his motivation does not match his potential. When speaking on his terms, rested and free of responsibility, Zay's speech is refined, polite, and he is very attentive to detail. In most cases however, Zay does not consider himself very 'rested' and acts completely aloof, purposely insulting the intelligence of others, and showing minimal interest in serious discussion. His attitude often causes conflict between him and his peers, making his life even harder than he already thinks it is, and perpetually forcing himself into a downward spiral. That being said, Zay perceives life itself as less than noteworthy, quoted as claiming the human heartbeat to be 'The body's most monotonous chore' on more than one occasion. Questions regarding his history or opinions on the general status of the Shinobi world are often met with a ballad of anecdotal references, and depressing metaphors that tend to highlight the negative aspects of being alive. Due to his seemingly infinite disdain towards basically everything, most perceive Zay as an angst ridden peon who cares nothing of his friends, family, or own well being. However, nothing could be farther from the truth. Despite what his nihilistic charade would suggest, he's a particularly caring individual that places tremendous importance on not only his own well-being, but that of all living things, and more importantly, the freedom they are entitled to. There's nothing more important to him than the heart that keeps him standing, and by extension, the people that give it the courage to beat freely. However, Zay prioritizes himself over all others. He claims that he would never risk his life, even if it were for the safety of a loved one. Truth be told, his attitude keeps him from actually developing any strong relationships, and his known family has been dead for years. Still, he considers his allies precious, and will do everything he can to keep their hearts beating if it doesn't end up putting his own life at serious risk. One could infer that Zay purposely distances himself from others to avoid the responsibility that coincides with friendship and romance, but since he is awfully secretive about his personal affairs, nobody's really been able to pry a solid explanation from his stubborn brain-case. 【History】 Zay's life started off rich with love and wealth. Born in Iwagakure, he lived out his infant years in the care of his mother and father, both of whom had little to worry about, easily living off of the funds that Ikaette Tetsuba, Zay's mother, earned from her career as a Shinobi for Iwagakure. Sadly, as expected, his mother eventually found herself caught up in the conflict brewing between the nations, which ultimately put her family at risk. As one of the few breathing Shinobi capable of advanced, and more often than not, forbidden Jutsu familiar within the dwindling Tetsuba Clan, interest in her Copper Release's industrial capabilities grew, and her family would soon find their beloved wife and mother, missing indefinitely. Zay's father took it upon himself to contact Ikaette's sister, Tskia, asking her to take Zay far from Iwagakure, hoping that she would be able to keep him safe. News of his death quickly rose to attention not more than a month after Tskia's departure, and left the Tetsuba Clan with only two living members. Tskia rose Zay as her own, treating him as the son she'd never had, and teaching him the basis of his family's ninjutsu. Even so, Zay was one to question every minute detail behind the lessons he'd received. this often lead to questions regarding the Tetsuba Clan, and by extension, his parents. Of course, Tskia was never at liberty to reveal much to Zay, in fear he'd get himself involved in the wars that might've followed the last. Due to the secrecy that enveloped his training however, Zay didn't take to his aunt's lessons very kindly, and instead spent all of his time training himself in the art of silver Release with his aunt's wisdom as a very loose basis. When the conflict between nations ceased, Tskia was beyond relieved, quickly adopting the ideals of the Hamajō Confederation as they took to power, and bastardizing the red Sages for their naive outlook on the way society had 'evolved' so to speak. She tried her best to instill these beliefs on a young teenage Zaette, but unfortunately for her, he was not concerned with her thought process on the matter. Fortunately, that didn't mean he sympathized with the red sages, either. His neutrality would prove a trying obstacle for Tskia to deal with in the coming years, and it strained their relationship quite significantly. Tskia would become more and more loyal to the teachings of Hamajō, while Zay would become less and less concerned with the goings-on around him, or his aunt. On his 14th birthday, it became painfully evident that Zay would not play any major role in the fight between Hamajō and the Red sages. That's what his aunt would believe, and to this day, that hasn't changed. At the age of 17, around the time that Zay had achieved the rank of Chuunin, Tskia had fallen fatally ill, and was home-bound. Although it was difficult, Zay was forced to support both himself and his aunt on what little money he could earn through the few missions he was approved for. Ultimately, Tskia passed away, leaving Zay to fend for himself. On her death bed, Tskia told Zay of his parents and their fate, along with the history of their family. Although he didn't change the way he behaved, his aunt's death, and his family's history took a serious toll on his inner thoughts, and changed the way he looked at life, and death. Zay, without a mentor, continued to develop his silver release on his own. Zay now spends his time conducting missions as a registered shinobi. When he isn't on assignments, sleeping, or training his jutsu, Zay spends all of his time outside, walking outside city limits as much as he can. 【Family ties】 Zay has no living relatives to his own knowledge, but it's likely that some have survived to this day. Regardless, he doesn't care enough to look into the possibility. 【Dreams and fears】 "I dream of a world where everyone can lay their backs against softened grass, and gaze at clouds without fear of fire or fist" "Spiders are horrible, but they kill moths, and moths are a plague on my very sanity" Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Zay harnesses the power of his silver release almost exclusively. That is to say, he refuses to even acknowledge Taijutsu, Genjutsu, and most other ninjutsu as a viable option of combat. Zay is proficient at close-mid range combat, with limited long-range options. He focuses on a iron-hard defense to compensate for his lack of ranged options. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Silver Release Description: Silver release allows members of the Tetsuba Clan to mold fire and Earth chakra natures into a shimmering metallic liquid, hence the name 'silver release'. This substance can be used in a plethora of different ways using subsequent jutsu as long as the user's chakra remains infused inside of the liquid, but without proper concentration, it is impossible to do much more than move it along the ground at a snails pace. It is also impossible to control this liquid if it travels more than 15 yards away from the user. If any of this substance leaves the user's 15 yard radius, whether it is in solid or liquid form, will quickly dissolve into raw chakra. Users can also reabsorb this liquid to replenish their chakra pool with diminished returns. Due to these limitations, silver release users are not very mobile, and instead rely on the agility and durability of their jutsu. In use, the silver liquid acts as a base for several techniques. The most common application is consuming opponents in range and smothering them to death. It can however be hardened to create temporary weapons, large scale attacks, barriers, armor, and various mechanisms relative to the user's knowledge of the technology they are trying to mimic. More advanced users of Silver release can sense the presence of other living things within their pool as long as they are connected by a constant stream of chakra, coat their entire body in an armor that removes their sense of sight and hearing but makes them nearly impervious to physical assaults, temporarily patch wounds by fusing the liquid with their skin, heat the liquid to boiling temperatures, and in very rare cases, transfer their body instantaneously from one section of their puddle to another with a delayed reemergence. It's rumored that certain Tetsuba could create golden, Copper, and even mercury based liquid metals, but nothing has been confirmed, and their lineage runs so thin that it's difficult to confirm or deny such rumors. Members of the Tetsuba Family are known to have very pale skin, reflective white hair, and silver blood. These effects appear to be purely cosmetic and otherwise have no effect on their biology whatsoever. Tetsuba Shinobi Strengths: Ray's mastery of Silver release is exceptional, and it wouldn't come as a surprise considering he does not practice any ninjutsu that would not coincide with his Kekkei Genkai. At his current mastery, Zay can keep a constant pool of Silver going at the full 15 yards from his body for a considerable amount of time before it begins to strain his Chakra reserves. His mid-close range combat is unmatched in many scenarios, disallowing easy movement within his radius without immediate danger. His liquid can nullify most wind natured ninjutsu, protect against some earth/water/fire natured ninjutsu, and offer substantial protection from most forms of attacks when hardened en-masse. Zay's agility with his silver allows him to cast jutsu in quick succession, giving the liquid considerable agility when he is focused. Weaknesses: Without a ready supply of silver, Ray is practically defenseless, only able to conjure weapons and small short-range projectile type jutsu quickly enough to defend himself. Even with a pool at the ready, Zay is incapable of firing ranged attacks outside of his range effectively. His mobility with the pool is also very slow, and he cannot travel long distances without being encumbered by his jutsu. While channeling a substantial pool of silver, Ray requires immense concentration, disallowing him to move his body too quickly at risk of his entire jutsu falling apart momentarily. If he is forced to dodge, or struck by anything that would interrupt his concentration, any hardened liquid could instantaneously melt back down into liquid form, and any silver under his control will fall back into his pool, including any weapons or armor he's equipped himself with. Additionally, his silver is highly-conductive, allowing lightning-natured jutsu to travel effortlessly along the entire expanse of the pool as long as it is connected, or close enough to allow a current to travel throughout. Certain Lightning-natured Jutsu can also pierce through any solidified silver effortlessly, and even destroy portions of his liquid. Conjuring the liquid, albeit quick, also requires an initial Chakra dump that nearly drains Zay of half his energy. Additionally, Zay can only sustain a pool for about 10 minutes before he runs out of energy, assuming he rations his chakra sparingly. 【Ninja techniques】【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Silver Release: Forge Rank: D Range: Short-Medium Description: Creates a weapon or device based on the user's knowledge and skill either somewhere in a mirror pool nearby, or in the user's hand using newly created liquid silver. The weapon's strength is on par with average steel, and resonate with Chakra very well. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Constellation Rank: D Range: Medium Description: Fires an array of tiny silver balls from either the user's mouth, or from any point in his mirror pool, with a width of about 15 feet. These have the potential to break skin and heavily bruise upon impact, but are not usually deadly. Can travel up to 25 Yards away from the user despite his limitation, but once leaving the 15 yard radius, they decrease in power to a point of absolute worthlessness. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Mirror Pool Rank: C Range: Short-Medium Description: The basis of Zay's Jutsu. Creates a reflective pool as the user's feet that spread out quickly. Can be channeled to extend the range of the pool, or to absorb the chakra infused in the liquid with diminished returns. This liquid can be controlled with the user's Chakra while it exists. The user can sense anyone touching the Silver if they are within his radius, and 'feel' their chakra network. All attacks within range, liquid or solid, are considered part of the Mirror pool. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Boiling Flow Rank: C Range: Short Description: The user instantly heats up a section of liquid silver for a few seconds. Effect persists if the liquid is solidified, allowing for heated jutsu followups. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Tempid Mail Rank: C Range: N/A Description: Covers the user's skin in a thin layer of liquid silver that can be hardened at will with other Jutsu types. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Solid Wall Rank: C Range: Short-Medium Description: Raises a wall at any point in the mirror pool to intercept an attack. Fast, but not effective as an offensive option. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Solid Mail Rank: B Range: N/A Description: Covers the user in a thick layer of hardened steel. Blocks nearly all forms of attack, but blocks out the user's sense of Smell, Sight, And Hearing. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Tepid Flow Rank: B Range: Short-Medium Description: Slices forth with a blade of liquid silver from any point within the user's radius, with enough force to sever limbs. Cannot break through guards, but will not be stopped unless blocked in its entirety; Due to its liquid nature, it will simply phase around swords and small shields. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Solid Flow Rank: B Range: Short-Medium Description: Launches a solid spike from any point in the user's mirror pool. The thicker the spike, the stronger, and slower, the strike. Often used in quick succession to create multiple spikes at once. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Tether Rank: A Range: Long Description: The user coats his hand in a rubbery silver, with a higher concentration of chakra, and extends it into a amorphous whip, which they can then fling around for about a minute before it loses form. While active, this tether acts as an extension of the user's chakra network, allowing it to exist outside the normal range of the user's pool, and increasing their pool's range to be 15 yards from wherever the tether reaches. This tether can also latch onto targets, including shinobi, but cannot be detached from the user unless they cancel the jutsu. Requires a large amount of chakra to form. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Zay carries no Ninja weaponry, and prefers to create his own.
51,179	1,381	86	2,089	1,979	Arima Shuu - Tametomo The Red Sages (With Chieko) Harvest Festival, Escaping This Ninko guy was growing more and more suspicious when he mentioned being a Confederation shinobi but suddenly throwing it all away the instant they took down a big commander of the group. Arima, behind his mask, gave a rather suspicious look at the wannabe spy, being unable to read minds, he would be torn in the idea. He could be a potential, but he could also be the downfall of many others. In any case, they couldn't just bring him along, and yet he could very well follow them or just attack them. This couldn't happen. Throwing another glace at Chieko, she would return with evident distrust to this story for obvious reasons. Her silence made the answer clear, they couldn't leave any loose cannons lying around. "Okay Ninko. Just tell me wh-" And in the middle of his phrase, Arima simply lowered his foot on the man's shoulder, electrifying him enough to stun him. This very small frame of surprise would be enough for Chieko to swiftly launch with perfect accuracy a few senbon coated in anesthesia, enough to put the unsuspecting Ninko into an unconscious state so Arime could live the guy over his shoulder. It wouldn't be too difficult given that the young Tametomo was trained like any other shinobi and had boots that practically moved for him. With that done, the duo swiftly departed the area, Arima employing the electrical nature of his boots to get around the forests faster and Chieko easily in the lead with her spectacular speed and general lack of an entire human on her. But she made a good scout to the boy didn't complain, not that he would anyway with his clear attraction for her. The trip was silent by fear of being followed and they purposely took a much longer route to guarantee not meeting any trouble. After all carrying a sleeping guy around was probably a little suspicious. The two arrived at the time where Seijo was giving her little briefing. By then Ninko was left in a remote shed with a couple of lower leveled Red Sages to look after him until the higher ups decided on what they'd do with him. Chieko didn't stick around long, being the social butterfly she was, and made her way to her own quarters to do whatever. Arima on the other hand attended the briefing the exact moment Seijo got to the part that concerned him. Her snarky 'congratulations' followed by a 'slip up' prompted an eyebrow lift as he entered the 'cool' Arima mode. "Always so enjoyable, Seijo." Chuckling a any chill guy trying a bit hard would before nonchalantly taking the document and checking it as Seijo attributed the members. At first he'd respond with a simple 'Uh-huh' before catching on that some random new guy was in the club. Somewhat dumbfounded, he paused for a good five seconds to make sure there wasn't a typo or something and Seijo was just not giving a crap. With that, he'd peer over at the corridor leading to the mess hall. The short red hair on the nice looking ass he'd definitely recognize, but the more masculine figure? Didn't ring a bell. With that he rushed to watch up with Naomi. In the process he'd notice that this guy had the same prestigious bright read hair color as her, which made it clear to the tryhard's mind that she probably got him in. After the events that happened, he was clearly suspicious of this and bringing along a complete stranger to a pretty sensitive mission didn't turn him on. "Naomi. What's going on? You know this man? Also ... Do you still have that red dress while we're here?" He'd ask with the calmest voice he could muster, which would be pretty shaky given he wasn't at ease at all with this new guy. He'd give a quick and wary glance at Aro, barely even acknowledging his presence, let alone his rather edgy request. To be fair, that would do little to Arima's impression on him, as his current status somewhat over-encumbered that. Yakoul Kakariko The Confederation's General of Armed Forces Lecture Hall - Sunagakure The place was practically full bar some seats left in between groups of acquaintances. Many would notice however two individual's at the bottom of the hall, at the same level as Yakoul. One was a male known as Yamato Minamoru, leaning his back against the wall whilst taking part of the moment, his expression barely welcoming to anybody. The second one was a blue haired, quite charming young woman. Although from a distance it'd be hard to recognize but she'd be the world famous Aoi Fuegushi, sitting on a chair, legs crossed with a pen and a notebook on her hands as she prepared to take notes. Most were settled down once Yakoul started to address them in the most direct way possible. There was a fat kid trying to be interesting, but Yakoul didn't like fatties so it did its best to gear its sight away from the whale. However, a very nasty sound would cause the veins in its eyes to plop out as it glared directly into Setsuko's soul. The unsettling fixation it had was easily noticed by everyone and felt by most chuunin level people and above. It breathed in a large quantity of air before exhaling really loudly over the mic. "Please put away any tools or phones for now. Thank you very fucking much." It announced with a forced and rather silly looking grin before reverting to its usual, neutral look, brushing the whole crowd with its eyes to look for any bad seeds. There were a lot. This was going to be a fun ride alright. Cracking its jaw as would dictate the tic, it arced its back slightly backwards to stretch itself, yawning strongly as a results before resuming what is started. "Okay. OKAY. So you good people must all be wondering why the fuck I brought all of you here after the clusterfuck back over there. I mean, you're all heroes right? You've saved the motherfucking day by protecting civilians and trying to save a few VIP's here and there, am I right?" In that particular instance it winked toward Mirai and Kanata, the tomboy whom it recognized quite easily through her smell and voice it could capture without a problem. That and very few had such remarkable red hair. At that same time, Aoi would take notice of the redhead, giving her frequent glances as her agitated body language amused the blue star. "I mean, fuck the retarded cat thing, it's pissing on your well deserved hero break! Well fuck you all. In an hour or so, the news is going to explode after our President spills the beans on this bullshit. And guess what happens then? You guys actually become shinobi, which in turn means pussy mode is off. Want a break? Tough luck asshole, we're at war." As it started to rant somewhat incoherently, it did throw glares at various individuals whom the facial expression clearly indicated boredom or disdain. It couldn't entirely blame them, it hated to be here too, but unlike them, it kicked fucking ass. Taking a small pause of about four seconds, it would resume its little lecture with a more positive tone and a smile. "But hey, you know what? You ain't that big of pussies if you're here so cool your tits. Unlike all the fucking, bitch ass piles of garbage we've been hiring up here, you guys actually deliver the goods. At least, most of you. And now we have a bunch of psycho extremists who are way too OCD to compromise shit about the world. These Red Sages, they're not old news though. Fuck, they've been around since before Hamajo even existed. Not the sages, I mean fucking dumbshits who are too stupid to cope with what they have." At the end of that line, it cracked its jaw. The awful sound it made echoed strongly through the room as it made another pause. "The fact of the matter is, it takes shit like this to make the world fucking move. They'll call it a tragedy, but fuck it, I call it a goddamn opportunity! Cry for your losses, but make sure to know that this event marks the permanent downfall of the motherfuckers." Swaying its tail from left to right, it kept its monologue as fluid as possible to make the conference last a little as it could. Keeping things energized however, it walked up the stairs through the various rows while continuing its loaded speech. "We needed this ... Tragedy. Without it, we can't get the retarded populace to root these gaping assholes out of here. But let's be fair, there'll always be someone bitching, this won't really ever end. Seriously, even if the world was turned PERFECT there'd still be retards like this saying 'HUR DUR THIS DOESN'T FEEL REAL, LET'S REBEL'. If I recall correctly, the whole world even went apeshit when some Uchiha subtard proposed the idea! For fuck's sake, I don't even have to mention the rotten piece of crap the world was when people had so much 'freedom' with all these pathetic Yakuza and pseudo-diplomatic arrangements. Let's not lie to each other, this fucking world order isn't perfect, it's actually quite shit when you suck at life. But fucking guess what? For the first time in never, Shinobi are just one big orgy all agreeing to buttfuck each other." It stopped its ascension once at the very top, throwing a glance at Higoho who happened to be up there as well before ending the point is was trying to make. "I think it is in many's interest, especially to their families, to maintain this never before seen sack of shit that is Hamajo. And dispose of those who rape the world that birthed them, that catered to them, sheltered their asses and kept most of you excuses for shinobi out of international conflict. Fuck, when you think about it ... These Red Sages truly are ... Mother Fuckers!" It shouted out as if it were surprise of the suddenly conclusion it made. It proceeded to make its way back down to the desk it was sitting on beforehand before finishing. "Was there any real fucking point to this? Not really. But countless are the times where I've had to butcher traitors who simply forgot who the fuck gave them a life where they were allowed to be so fucking weak. These assholes biting the hand that's feeding them, they may appears like us, they may be friendly, they may be children, hell they may be saints. Despite any of this, they won't hesitate to exterminate you, so I suggest you very well do the fucking same, my comrade in arms~ We're at war, friends, final-fucking-ly." Sighing, as much as it seemed like propaganda, Yakoul was convinced it was petty close to the truth. Never would it admit the Confederation was perfect. Quite the contrary, it found it boring and evidently somewhat impaired in handling stuff people whine about. "Okay. This bullshit is done. You're all part of the Armed Forces Branch now, spray yourself with fucking confetti if you want. You will all have aerial patrol duties as you'll essentially be first responders until I ... Want you to do other stuff? Fuck it, I'm feeling saucy today, you and ... You will call the shots this week. I ain't got time to deal with all of your shits right now. We're on motherfucking high alert so don't fuck this up." With that, it tossed a plastic officer's badge at Mirai without even warning her, conferring the title of de facto decision maker during patrol routines while the other one would land on Setsuko's head because she got its attention. Yeah that's the reason why really. "Oh yeah, you can a get the fuck out now. You'll get orders via your cheap as shit work phones. Except for you two, you're coming with me." As it addressed two individuals, it pointed at both Tanji who would be somewhere and Kanata. Without giving them a second warning, Yakoul would be quick to depart the area through the exit door near it. There would be a set of stair there that would lead to a hallway. The second door to the right would be selected. The group would end up in a rather luxurious lounge with multiple vending machine and a coffee maker. Yakoul would swiftly leap on one of the sofas and lie on it like it was home. "Take whatever the hell you want. We're going to get comfortable all three of us. So, Tenji was it? Who cares? Anyway, how was it with that fucking buzzkill in the 11th Corps? Jeez, tell me about your life there actually. As for you, Kanata, yeah that's it, just tell me what the fuck you were doing in that shithole in the first place. You know, the Festival no sane kid would go unless they were forced through death threats." (Any of you two can respond first) It questioned the two, curious as to who they were but most of all what they had in terms of potential. Kanata just interested Yakoul, and it appeared to be also the case with Aoi. Tanji however caught Yakoul's eyes during the attack, as such he got a special treatment. Of course, it didn't bring them for show and tell, they were going to participate in something.	Spode's Magical Character Emporium of Wonders V.2! DLC pack Coming soon. Buy Season Pass Now! “I'm gon' fuck me some motherfuckers.” 1m75 - 72 KG At first glance, it is almost impossible to not have any preconception regarding Yakoul's normal appearance, an issue that costed the lives of many. Yakoul looks like the typical cat-human people see in various media and have bizarre fantasies about, though the reasons behind its current for are a lot less fantastic. Everyone notices the white cat ears and the long tail, which various in size for no apparent reason, and would usually dumb it down as 'too cute to be threatening'. That's until they see its teeth. Otherwise it can also alternate its cat pupils, usually forming them when in combat. They're orange regardless of the form. Now that the kitty aspects are out, the next issue is ... Well the rest. Its silhouette is completely androgynous. Somewhat curvy bottom part but facial traits that look more like a young male teen's than a female's. Its chest appears to look more like pectoral muscles than breasts. The hair style doesn't help either, being short and curly/messy. Its gender will always remain a dark enigma those in the Confederation hope to crack some day. Or not. Freaks. In terms of attire, it wields a navy blue, long sleeved shirt with golden buttons in the center. An orange pair of shorts to keep its legs warm along with long, same colored socks that nearly reach the knees. It does not wear sandals, ever, but a pair of navy blue shoes it can easily slide on its feet without having to deal with laces or velcro. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Yakoul Kakariko 【Alias】 The Badass who Fucked Konoha (Self proclaimed) Hamajo's Monstrous Hero Kitty Cat 【Affiliation】 The Hamajō Confederation 【Age】 113 【Sex】 ? 【Sexuality】 A lot of things 【Birthplace】 Hidden in the Grass 【Bloodline】 N/A 【Rank】 General of the Confederation's Armed Forces - Jonin Commander Equivalent Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Yakoul earned the title of War hero and trump card of the Confederation's army 11 years ago because of its genius regarding the Art of War and overall capabilities in the field. A lot of it is true, as Yakoul has never backed down from a fight (doesn't mean it never lost), winning against any type of individual conceivable, whether they are intelligent, dumb, strong or frail, it always found a way. This much praise made it a main figure to the Confederation's political and social life, despite all of it being based on prestige told by the Confederation itself. Many know of how ruthless Yakoul is, breaking the 'cute cat' image it once had, but the details remain rather vague and exclusive to inner circles. In truth, although it wields the willpower and charm of an extremely successful warlord, it is undeniably an unpredictable force of malice no one other than the top ruler of the Confederation has managed to tame. It holds the nickname of monster for a reason for anyone who has actively been an obstacle to the feline has lived the merciless and downright cruel fury of the beast. Only through tactical advantage does it show mercy, otherwise it has no qualms in exposing its perverted and sick mind to those it simply wants to rob something from. Ironically, apart from war, it is an individual completely absent of common sense. Mundane activities are engaged in the most eccentric and downright surreal fashion with this critter. Despite emitting one of the most foul presences in the entire world, it has a surprising way of illuminating rooms for people it shares a sense of camaraderie with to avoid getting bored. Indeed, it has a terribly thin attention span. Speaking of comrades actually, as monstrous as it may be, it built itself a rationale that gives actual human value to its close colleagues, only to use their deaths as a catalyst to fill itself with anger and many other emotions to slaughter superior enemies. Does it feel something when someone close dies? Sure, and it knows it, hence why it uses it. Keeping up with unpredictability, its behavior has been deemed so sporadic, it is impossible to truly form a friendship with it. Now the reason being that as much as it enjoys messing around when in free time or just during transition phases in a conflict, one thing will get it to laugh while another almost completely identical will earn the instigator an impromptu vasectomy. Needless to say, many have come and left Yakoul's squad not because of the intense battlefield, but by the insane moodswings. Did I mention its intuition? If it has a bad feeling about you, prepare to have a bad time. Needless to say, ti remains a really good judge of character, as would be any leader. This deserves the final paragraph and serves as a warning to everyone. Profanity is its mother tongue and has a very horrible accent when speaking. In most sentences, it will enter a pointless swear, and this increases depending on how passionate it gets. Add to that a shamelessly crude attitude and we have the most foul individual in the Confederation as one would expect. It doesn't always insert swear words, but they seem to illustrate quite well what its intentions are most of the time. 【History】 Yakoul has lived far longer than most people on this earth, all thanks to the inherited powers of its supposed 'cursed' clan. It didn't feel all that bad to it, quite the contrary, it got eternal life all to itself. The feline essentially saw history happen before it, not that it did much to actually archive it or even remember, it was just there, existing and eating whatever it attacked in a village, whether it be livestock, pet or people. Like many of its clan, it terrified the populace because of its jumps of rage and general disregard for their lives. Yeah no, Yakoul isn't this dual-personality type. It always lived as if its surges of violence were just it being in a bad mood rather than lack of control. Decades went on and it would only be when encountering a group a very strange looking individuals, nothing like those annoying shinobi that were sometimes a little too hard to kill. They were strong, but also quite tasty looking, and Yakoul liked that a lot. Wanting a piece of these people, its blood would quickly be rust to the blades of the leader's right hand. The animal didn't beg for mercy, but rather stared at the dominant being of the group, fantasizing on how it would have been great to have that body all to itself in its cavern. It was not because of its potential that it was spared, however, but because of its amusing appearance. The monster that would eventually be one of the pivotal figures in the war was recruited for looking somewhat like a cat. Well, "recruited", it served as decor for the leader's luxurious tastes. It wouldn't be until the first days of war that Yakoul would prove its worth as more than just a soldier. At first, it was simply sent on small missions due to its enhanced senses and general aggressiveness toward foes. It didn't mind, it had free food and could rip anything to shreds when asked. Doing dirty work was just a small repayment. Its talents as a war leader flourished when confronted to its first ambush. Somewhat devoid of extreme intelligence, it mixed what it learned through living so long and instinct to divide strategies to minimize losses. Though this time it was actual comrades and not food something it would protect in some cave or stolen house. Few casualties and a need to make a profanity filled speech to pump its men, Yakoul was given the title of General. Why? Because the leader could, not that it really earned it or anything. It just made its superior happy and proved its worth. Many events during the war were under its leadership, and generally it kept the upper hand and quickly understood the art of war. One could say it was more or less its destiny to hold such a position as it lived in relatively poor countries where small conflicts were rampant and only through strategy was survival possible. What would mark Yakoul as a war hero would be how it led its men to the doors of Konoha and in three days time, murdered with its bare hands the leader of the 11th Corp, the equivalent of Root at the time. Fujitora Choko was killed, and Ayame Choko, the Hokage, would have the same visit by Yakoul. Many speculate that Ayame was never there to begin with, but soldiers attest that Yakoul had killed her as well. Of course, victors are the ones who write history, so even knows if this whole damn history section is legit and not me making a BS Shyamalan on you? Thought so. After the war, Yakoul's been ... Quiet. Simply because the Red Sages have been too sporadic for it to actually care enough. It is mostly seen in public events with its master or simply to keep itself entertained. 【Family ties】 It doesn't have any known relatives. Unless you count every stray cat in the world. The Great President \| Master and Pet \| N/A - Amegakure Capital 【Dreams and fears】 Yakoul dreams to simply do whatever it wants the next day. As of now, it fights for its master in a more zealous manner than anything. But if its superior were to die, it could very well change its passion on a whim. As of now, it simply wanted to endlessly fight the rebels, over and over, and hopefully even die a horrible death at their hands. Not that it actively tries to die, it's simply a fantasy. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Swift and deadly. Yakoul's fight have often been rather quick, or at least when it decides to go on the offensive anyway. Most of the time it falls on taunts and easily evades and/or blocks strikes it can see coming beforehand. Easily finding the flaws in the techniques employed by the opposition, when confident enough it can end it, Yakoul will strike where it hurts the most. This of course depends on the caliber of the opponent, as those who prove to be a lot more keen on their moves will force the beast to actually prod something out of them with actual violence. When in its lethal mindset, it greatly utilizes its strong tail as a third member to gain an easy advantage on the enemy, as well as keep many of its abilities a 'surprise' for the enemy to discover. Because of this, it prioritizes close quarters combat 3/4 times, especially considering its Jutsu pool. The issue with it fighting longer and longer, however, is that it slowly loses patience and lets its more berserk state take hold, pushing Yakoul to lose a decent thought process out of anger and sheer brutality. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Juugo's Clan Kekkei Genkai Description: Many consider this Kekkei Genkai as the cheap counterpart of the Sage mode. Yakoul would of course strongly disagree. To start off with the basics, this KG enables the wielder to passively absorb Senjutsu Chakra (Natural Energy) all the time, leaving it with some pretty gargantuan chakra pools. The effects can often be dumbed down to bursts of anger and berserk states, but Yakoul has since grown accustomed to it. However, bien exposed to it for so long, it has developed animal-like traits similar to beings untrained in Sage Art that have absorbed too much Senjutsu chakra. In this case, it acquired feline traits. It is also the cause of Yakoul's massive longevity and seemingly eternal youth. Because it is mostly under control, Yakoul can freely manipulate its own body and expose select parts to 'curse' with his Sage Transformation. Essentially, it can manipulate the form of its body, sprout wings or grow axe blades on its forearms. The possibilities are massive, as long as they aren't too exaggerated. Chakra cannons are also a dominant trait in the Sage Transformation. Generally users of this KG can tank massive blows that prowl through their flesh and pierce their members without an issue as seen when Juugo not only had a massive hole in his arm but also his chest and recovered without an issue. However the more this ability is used, the less coherent the thought process Yakoul's approaches will be. As much as it is used to it, it will eventually lose grip and wildly attack anything if battles push it too far. Withering down Yakoul's endurance makes it the best tactic to make it a lot more dangerous and violent, but also more predictable and easily deceived. Strengths: The KG offers overwhelmingly high amounts of chakra as well as access to natural energy. Naturally users have immense strength, which only increases when enhancing certain parts of their bodies (easily rivals CES). Resilience and a particularly versatile movepool are probably the biggest strengths in there. The added bulk of the sage transformation can be compensated with the chakra jets. Weaknesses: Surprisingly has few, but the lack of control through continuous use is rather exploitable. When transformed, whether it is berserk or not, the moves appear to be more predictable and easy to anticipate, in exchange for simply more destructive power. 【Ninja techniques】 S rank techniques: 1 Compulsory Subjugation A rank techniques: 3 My Favorite Cancer Perfect Symbiosis Enhanced Scales B rank techniques: 4 Super Mega Ultra Go to Hell Cannons Fire Cannon Dash Genjutsu: Cat and Mouse Suffocating Haze C rank techniques: 5 Up yours: Style One Swiisssshhhhh Shotgun Special Lil' Sluggers Regeneration Absorption D-E rank techniques: 3 Hiding in Surface Technique Overwhelming Killing Intent Yakoul's Juinjutsu 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: I'm just fucking better than you! (Also known as Compulsory Subjugation) Rank: S Range: 0 - 50m Description: As Yakoul's Trump card, Compulsory Subjugation is a tool it prefers to use in very specific scenarios and often saves it as a 'Grand Finale' for people like Souji Tametomo. It manifests itself in three tentacle-like appendages emerging from Yakoul's spine with only the tips being of a completely black color, the rest remaining beige/gray like the typical KG transformation. They all hold tremendous strength with the capability of slapping away boulders with one alone and they can strength up to 50 meters. Though as strong as they may be, they remain easy to cut like flesh and inflict gargantuan pain to Yakoul when cut, and even more when being reattached or regenerating, thus forcing its stamina to plummet. But its greatest strength doesn't lie there. The tips are where the ability shines. They are ridiculously sharp, but can still be blocked by robust defenses. Of course once they manage to actually inflict damage, here the fun begins. If one were to be simply scratched by the tentacle, they could have a small piece of Yakoul's flesh in them, not big enough to be game breaking, but enough to bond with their flesh and bone of the area. A large amount of pain occurs as the incompatible flesh acts like a cancer and forces the muscles to tense and twist on each other. If done on an arm or leg, the bones would easily snap and rend the member worthless but it would end there (except for the pain), while if on the body, the organs run the risk of being completely ripped to shreds. The solution is simple, stab the area that was cut, the bleeding will cause a lot of the Sage Transformation flesh to ooze out. The blood loss won't be enough to kill but will render largely ineffective. That's if they can close the wound. If the tentacle is stabbed, however. Everything changes. Large amounts of Yakoul's own flesh is injected in the body, ripping apart muscles and bones as they go, essentially making it a game over unless a third party severs the appendage before it can completely possess the body. Immediate medical treatment can held control this, though the victim is decommissioned. If Yakoul possesses the individual entirely and destroys them from the inside out, they will evidently die. But only to revive as a mindless beast under Yakoul's command, like a pet. They would be possessed by the Sage Transformation entirely, looking exactly like the second stage transformation. They can use the same abilities they once had, barring tactics. The only escape would be death, unless some miracle doctor finds a cure. cough Jutsu name: My Favorite Cancer Rank: A Range: N/A Description: Similar to the Fission Technique, the function is similar, however it is interconnected with the Sage Kekkei Genkai. Essentially Yakoul splits itself physically to produce two teen-like Yakoul. I can go up two four with small kid versions. They are generally physically weaker as they go along and divide, as well as simply having weaker abilities (And the S rank Technique sealed). However they are capable of gathering natural energy individually and slowly grow. When divided by two, about 5 posts are needed for both Yakoul to be fully grown, 8 (4 to be teen sized) for the smaller one. When destroyed, they turn into puddles of flesh that glues itself back into a fission clone, giving back the chakra. When split they can't have more chakra than the average individual unlike a full Yakoul who can have an overwhelmingly high surplus. After 5 posts where they're fully grown, they're forced back into one Yakoul as the technique expires. Jutsu name: Perfect Symbiosis, Bitch. Rank: A Range: 150 KM Description: One could call this an extremely advanced version of sensory, but it really is a mastery of Senjutsu chakra to the extent where someone incapable of being a Sage could master it. Yakoul becomes 'One' spiritually with nature, which is everywhere, making it almost completely undetectable by sensors. Its chakra can be seen by Sharingan, Rinnegan and Byakugan, but locating Yakoul is extremely difficult in long distances. The only exceptions are either Sages or those with this ability (or equivalent). But this also gives a tremendous advantage in sensory skills for Yakoul. When actively using this ability, its pupils dilate like a cat's as it uses natural energy as a powerful sensory ability for both extremely long ranges and close range. When going long range, it is mostly good for finding very specific chakra signatures and presences in remote areas as well a detecting who is in what area and how many beings there are there. When in close range, it can essentially take over for sight and sound as it gives a very precise input on what approches, what form it has and how fast it is moving. Its enhanced sense of smell and hearing usually compliment the job perfectly. Jutsu name: Awesome as shit Scales Rank: A Range: Personal Description: Developed after killing Fujitora Choko, Yakoul decided to innovate a bit defensively, and thus also evolve offensively, by taking elements from the Heavenly Blood. Here, it must use Sage Transformation before this becomes possible. Yakoul is capable of having 'scales' rapidly grow on affected parts of its body by concentrating both senjutsu chakra and stamina to make them steel-hard. Indeed, it affects both the physical and chakra state of the user, making it something that can't be entirely recovered by passive natural energy absorbing. These can easily block non-enhanced weapons and take multiple hits from those. It takes stronger Ninjutsu to break through. The seconde usage it has requires a lot less stamina, almost none, but it loses all of its value. Using a bit of wind chakra on its pores, Yakoul can simply fire these scales in large waves like large, diamond-shaped kunai in a direction it chooses without actually moving. Being made of chakra they have higher piercing capability, but they are somewhat slower and more predictable than the ninja tools. Their strength mostly lie on the being ejected from anywhere at anytime. Jutsu name: Fire Cannon Dash Rank: B Range: 30m - 100m Description: A simple technique that utilises both Fire release and the Juugo clan's cannons. In this technique they're generally on the back and the elbows and take en entire post to charge with heat. Yakoul can still do whatever during that post except for cannon usage, but the increase in energy is very apparent. In the next post it can choose to either keep the cannons red hot for up to three turns before releasing the technique, and during that wait it can use cannon abilities but with a 50% penalty in power. When it it used however, Yakoul can travel between 30m to 100m in speeds that rival even body flicker, all the while being in control of its body. However it can only travel in a straight line, making somewhat predictable the first go, but extremely lethal if not ready. Jutsu name: Genjutsu: Cat and Mouse Rank: B Range: Sight and Sound Description: Yakoul's only real Genjutsu other than the basic stuff, which uses both visual and sound queues to make it exceptionally difficult to pinpoint. Here it will sway its tail from left to right while applying it, those who simply look at Yakoul will see the tail move regardless if they focus on it. The Yin chakra already has its effect and simply needs an activation. The sound required is a simply crack of its jaw, something it does all too often in a fight, whether it applies it or not. Breaking free is the typical methods, but it doesn't make one immune to it. The effects are simple, once affected, the perception of the victim is severely flawed. They will feel as though they are seeing through the eyes of a mouse, or any small critter really and the whole environment, including Yakoul is giant. As such, all they would see would be a giant Yakoul attacking them, its massive movements easily covering their whole line of sight and making it horribly tedious to predict anything. Jutsu name: Suffocating Haze Rank: B Range: Description: Fusing Wind and Fire chakra, steam-like incense that covers a large amount of ground with Yakoul being the center of it all. When using this ability Yakoul cannot utilise its other cannon abilities. The effects are simple, it imposes a powerful heatwave in the whole field and a bit beyond really quickly with a slight haze to make visibility harder for others. Plants, even trees, die in the first seconds of the technique drying up almost anything, the insects follow shortly after and animals feel extremely dehydrated. Bigger summons also feel the huge toll as their big bodies are confiscated of a large amount of water, making them just as susceptible. Trained shinobi can withstand it easily, other lifeforms not so much. Water techniques suffer the most from it, bring mostly dried up and losing most of their strength. Lightning, because of wind chakra infused, become a little weaker but mostly inaccurate in both targeting and usage (chakra control is simply harder). Wind Techniques suffer a similar effect to Lightning, being eaten up by the fire aspect. Earth suffers more slowly, drying up and losing solidity eventually. Only Fire techniques are enhanced here to Yakoul's advantage. Lasts for five posts, cool down for five as well. Jutsu name: Shotgun Special Rank: C Range: Close, extends to about 10m Description: A wind based ability that is mostly non-lethal (unless you suck) which consists in releasing strong air pressure from the cannons protuding from Yakoul's body. The released pressure acts like a shotgun shell, extremely strong push back when in point black, but loses it strength as it goes along. The effect of distance really depends on the individual strength of each, but it's generally meant to keep people away in a pinch. Also useful to eject oneself really quickly into the air or to a direction. Jutsu name: Lil' Sluggers Rank: C Range: N/A Description: Yakoul uses a much weaker version of the Fission technique, letting a bit of its flesh drop on the ground and ignite thanks to fire chakra. It quickly hoards natural energy to grow into a child-sized humanoid golem, similar to Deidara's puppets, as they start charging in at whatever Yakoul wants gone. They can morph their limbs and bodies to an extent, forming blades and bizarre/flexible shapes. They're slow and somewhat predictable, but damaging them will result in more of them coming back. It is being completely destroying them into sufficiently small pierces that the flames covering them overpowers their regeneration and they just die. They're more of a very annoying distraction than anything. Jutsu name: Delicious Grub Rank: C Range: Close Description: This deserves some explaining. In a large battlefield full of NPC's, this technique essentially allows Yakoul to recover from non-fatal injuries easily as it barely requires any chakra and simply uses to heal its damaged body. So some specifications are needed. In order to fully absorb a body and heal major wounds it needs to be immobile for two posts, as in it can't move from that point, but can still use jutsu and so on to defend itself. Jutsu name: Overwhelming Killing Intent Rank: D Range: Up to 5 KM Description: Yakoul's aura is so foul and its chakra levels massive enough to have nearby individuals actually feel the pressure of its bloodlust on their shoulders. Only the strongest shinobi around will not fear a tint of fear as their natural instincts would force them to have when confronted to such a deadly predator. It is capable of using it from pretty big distances when it is stalking certain individuals to put them on their guard all the while destabilizing them. Jutsu name: Yakoul's Seal of Approval Rank: N/A Range: Personal Description: Almost exactly like Orochimaru's Curse Seal since it did come from the Kekkei Genkai after all. The Confederation saw great potential in this and made it possible for Yakoul to impose Juinjutsu on certain victims and disobedient followers. It doesn't spread it like free candy however, as it is also a source of power that could easily push unworthy individuals into berserk-like states and be an issue to society. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Tease Weapon, tool or object type: Claw Rings Description: A set of Claw Rings worn in every finger except the thumbs. Why? Because they're freaking cool. Also they're specially designed to have wind chakra channel out of the pointed blade form 30 cm air claws. They're hard to see at first glance and cut like any chakra enhanced blade (because its chakra yah). Weapon, tool or object name: Ninjato Weapon, tool or object type: Just a Ninjato Description: Just a Ninjato is carrier around for no reason. Weapon, tool or object name: Awesome clothes Weapon, tool or object type: Clothes Description: It always wears the same clothes, and they can survive being burnt and its super transformations. They don't protect from damage, they just prevent you from seeing Yakoul naked. “By the honor of the Tametomo, I will fight to the death for all our freedoms.” 1m83 - 88 kg A rather tall lad with a well built body, Arima does have the looks on his side. Not the most attractive but that isn't his only asset. With black, almond shaped eyes and straight black hair, some would expect him to be some Uchiha rather than related to the Red Sages leaders. Not so broad shoulders but evidently trained arms and dexterous hands. In terms of attire, he takes whatever he needs to blend in, but often sticks to the Confederation uniform to keep as inconspicuous as possible as a shinobi. He's always seen wearing black combat gloves alone with these odd navy blue boots he wears instead of the common sandals. He's also fond of cloaks when executing covert operations despite having a mask at his disposal, he just likes it. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Arima Shuu - Tametomo 【Alias】 The Rising Sage The Great Red Sage's Cousin The Pussy 【Affiliation】 The Red Sages 【Age】 17 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Straight 【Birthplace】 Amegakure 【Bloodline】 Tametomo's Shuu branch 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 A pretty boy with a status that easily earns him social recognition. Arima doesn't mind utilizing the Tametomo name when in rebel grounds to pride himself over his lineage, something that does get him some female attention. Quite the hotshot and showoff with his rather advanced techniques he dedicates to his own clan, one could say he's the type of popular kid that everybody knows whether they like it or not. In the midst of his demonstrations and indulging himself in praises, he simply loves to maintain a cold and distant attitude, to play the 'mysterious' guy while saying encouraging phrases regarding honor and all that jazz. What most don't see however is that he is far under the expectations of the usual Tametomo, he's a pushover. Souji was quite the thing at his age and that's not even mentioning Tarara, both his cousins. He's very aware of this, as are some of his closer colleagues. He's aware that he neither has their skill nor inherited traits to make him as grandiose as they are. But instead of accepting himself, he remains deluded when facing the crowd of peers that stand in awe when he does anything really. At least this works with the newbies. While insecure, he's also somewhat of a coward, having barely ever been in the battlefield and lied more than once about his experiences. The scar on his lip is the one his family laughs about the most. As much as he may seem confident when playing a facade, he is devoid of any authority and presence. This is particularly true when he's into a girl that doesn't send back the feelings. He's hopeless and stammering. And the more he feels emotionally cornered like this, the easier it is for people to call him out on his bullshit. 【History】 Born six years prior to the massive world war, Arima lived a peaceful life before and after the events really. His family was largely protected by the heads of the rebelling force against the mighty crusading army. It was around age 8 that he developed this idea that he was part of a big family, like the Uchiha or the Kazekage lineage. That he was destined to help this world too by leading it to safety with the Red Sages. Becoming a shinobi thus became a thing, but he was quickly disillusioned when he realized it was rather tough. He put hi spirit in it sure, but often got discouraged when more talent prodigies bested him in almost every field. Nonetheless, this sense of pride remained strong, and while he was named Shuu and Tametomo was a pariah name, he knew that among the inner circles of his family he was seen as special because of this. Becoming a chuunin was a rather average experience for him, he always blamed his teammates for his shortcomings and hardly passed the exams needed. Nonetheless, he made it, and quickly backed out of as many Confederation activities as he could. He was entirely dedicated to the Red Sages and would demand to be trained under their own men rather than by the typical government bound shinobi. Eventually he'd be recognized capable of conducting covert operations, and in his first he was paired with an experience Jonin. The goal was simple, find and infiltrate a simple weapons barrack and set it to blow up. When Arima would tell this tale of course, it was one of the main secret warehouses for quality weapons manufacturing among other things. He didn't lie that the operation was successful however, and exaggerated the few patrols confused and searching around the area with multiple special Ops pursuing them through the border. But hey, details. Oh and yes, that's where he got his scar. The special ops offered a great version of this story, but the thing was that they had to stop their trip for a rest, and who said rest also said snack break. Being the idiot that he is, he tried to open the sealed can with his teeth since most of their tools were left behind to hide evidence. A beautifully vertical and bloody cut on his lip. Well at least the lid was silver like the blade of those commando ninjas. Nowadays he tells this tale, and many believe him due to mostly his status and the fact that despite not being on par, he is a pretty good shinobi who ca handle his own. Some of his teammates were still tipped off about the real events and see right through his make believe, but even while knowing that he tries to stick with the fake alternative to make himself feel better about ... Things. 【Family ties】 Being raised within a branch of the Tametomo, he's known to be related to the two great leaders of The Red Sages. Both his parents are alive and well and he has no siblings. They go under the surname Shuu to avoid any attention from the Confederation. Toroi Shuu \| Father \| 49, Amegakure, Former Chuunin and now door to door salesman Kurona Shuu \| Mother \| 37, Amegakure, Chuunin under the Confederation, serving as a mole for The Red Sages Souji Tametomo \| Cousin \| 27, N/A, Leader of The Red Sages, 1st Degree cousin with Kurona Shuu Chieko Honma \| Friend \| 15, Konoha, Member and colleague in The Red Sages, He hopelessly has a crush on her and they've been partnered before (strong synergy as they both use lightning) 【Dreams and fears】 He dreams of actually reaching the level of his cousins and maybe one day be worthy of carrying on at least some of The Red Sage's legacy. He's absolutely scared of his current condition, of not being good enough for any of this. He also fears the intense battlefield, the inevitable possibility that he'll die. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Obviously oriented toward a style of kickboxing, focusing primarily on the electrical nature of his boots to channel ninjutsu. He is rather speedy in his methods, going for quick hit and run strikes when he sees the opportunity, sometimes even being quite impulsive. He has a hard time making a decent strategy when under pressure, but when he has one, it's sure to make some heads burn. He often attempts to lands as quickly as possible a finisher move even if it wouldn't be the wisest thing to do. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Nope, All skill. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Cosmos Finale: Electrovoid B rank techniques: Shadow Clone Technique Tametomo Cosmos Style: Guillotine Wave Tametomo Cosmos Style: Storm C rank techniques: Lightning Release: Lightning Beast Tracking Fang Cosmos Style: Z-line Cosmos Style: Thunderball Cosmos Style: Hard Counter D-E rank techniques: Demonic Illusion: Lightning Flash Pillar 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Cosmos Finale: Electrovoid Rank: A Range: Contact Description: This time a strange, yellow lightning it focused on both Glorious Cosmos as if Arima was charging an attack. As usual, he attempts to strike down the enemy, whether they dodge or block, it doesn't matter. The energy is suddenly released and manifests itself as a bolt of lightning traveling randomly in a small radius. A wind attack or an explosion would quickly dispel it. However, if it were to hit a chakra entity other than its maker, it would disperse and be absorbed by their body. The victim won't feel any pain, actually, they won't feel anything at all. If this bolt manages to hit someone, they will be completely robbed of their sense of touch as their spinal cord and brain were struck in a specific manner. They will not feel themselves standing, making them lose all sense of balance, their members will move oddly whenever they're not directly looking at them. They won't feel themselves throwing the command to move and as such they can't know if their movements are coherent enough to make a simple gait. The effects last for three posts before the sense is regained, though even the most trained are barely efficient after this. Jutsu name: Tametomo Cosmos Style: Guillotine Wave Rank: B Range: Contact + 50m Description: Inspired by the famous Raikage Guillotine Drop, Arima charges a large amount of chakra on one of the Glorious Cosmos, making it flash in blinding bright blue. All he has to do is simply crash in a powerful downward kick, not necessarily like the Guillotine drop, but it needs to be well placed. The impact would be akin to a full powered chakra enhanced strength hit, causing a massive shockwave of electricity that would shock anyone in a 50m radius, though only slight burns and movement slowing would occur, the pushback however would be fierce. Those hit, whether directly or blocked, will inevitably suffer a large amount of lightning chakra striking them in all directions. This makes for really powerful finisher. The chakra taxing is immense, making it only possible to use twice in a fight as of now with a risk of damaging his leg. Jutsu name: Tametomor Cosmos Style: Storm Rank: B Range: 30 meter radius Description: By kicking a wave of about twenty Thunderballs in the air, they all stand at a halt around the field like a dome of some kind, endlessly spinning around as if Arima manipulated them. They can be popped, but exploding one won't cause a chain reaction strangely enough. Under Arima's command, they will suddenly stop and rush in to converge at a targeted spot. It isn't too difficult to notice them striking and to evade them, however if one were to take a hit, the explosion will be particularly deadly in the epicenter, usually leading to death or knock out. Within the radius, major burns can still occur as well as electrical sparks running through the body to immobilize and/or cripple movement for a short period of time. Jutsu name: Cosmos Style: Z-line Rank: C Range: Up to 50 meters in the air and down under Description: A somewhat more complicated techniques. Lightning chakra is focused on the Glorious Cosmos as Arima uses either the Ice Skates or Rollers mode. The start to flash a brighter blue as he traverses a specific trajectory, leaving a black line on the ground he came in contact with (even water). He can make one as long as 50 meters. The thing is, this line is charged with lightning chakra, and any large entity of chakra crossing it will have all the lightning stored in them zapped into them, like an electric wall. The effects are nasty burns and short term immobility. To avoid it, one must get over 50 meters over the line or 50 meters below. Jutsu name: Cosmos Style: Thunderball Rank: C Range: 0 - 150 m Description: A very simple technique that involves Arima making a simple kick, whether forward, upward, to the side, it doesn't matter. What occurs is that by molding a tiny bit of chakra in the Glorious Cosmos, he is capable of releasing a speeding ball of blue lightning the size of a basketball at the direction he kicked, going as fast as a shuriken. When hitting something, it will explode in an explosion comparable to an explosive tag but with the affect effect of electricity that can leave paralyzed for a short time and leave extra burns. They can easily be dispelled with a projectile. Jutsu name: Cosmos Style: Hard Counter Rank: C Range: Contact Description: A simple technique that involves Arima performing a perfectly timed kick on an electric attack, whether it is chakra or other. By perfectly intercepting the electricity, the Glorious Cosmos is capable of sucking out the bolt. However, this can only work if the attack is focused in one point that isn't too big and doesn't still hit Arima. Secondly, it can't be too strong, so B rank and under only can be drained. It fills in the battery, and in return restores a little bit of chakra. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Glorious Cosmos Weapon, tool or object type: A pair of enhanced combat Boots Description: A pair of navy blue boots that look completely ordinary at first glance, reaching up to about his knees. Whens responding to Arima's chakra, they get covered in a sky blue aura with electrical sparks visible from time to time. Once active, the Glorious Cosmos become enhanced by stockpiled chakra, making them as hard as chakra enhanced steel, thus more than capable of countering most weapons. This 'chakra' that is stored inside each piece is actually dependent of an individual battery in each filled with lightning chakra, but it can also be charged with normal forms of electricity. Now don't go think he can sponge lightning, not quite, but it can accumulate energy gathered through movement of any kind. The aura surrounded can thus continuously replenish itself thanks to movement, and as such can also deliver rather nasty blows too. The electric aura will defuse visible shocks of electricity, although not all that dangerous, they can leave burns and even cause violent muscle spasms if hit in areas near the heart and lungs. The Glorious Cosmos are capable of switching into different 'modes', going to rollers blades and ice skates for greatly enhanced mobility. Needless to say he's faster than the average shinobi run with this. As such Arima can easily use the ice skates to utilise them them as lethal blades when going close and personal. “Ladies and Gentlemen, and everything in Between!” 1m51 - 40 Kg With adulthood, Aoi had her look adapt to her new circumstances, giving a lot less of a child-like impression and one more akin to a woman thriving in her life. To start off, she dedicated her look to her usage name she employs in her job by dyeing her hair sky blue, going along perfectly with her naturally blue colored, dazzling eyes. The way she styles her hair varies depending on trends and demands from her current position, as of now she keeps the look on the picture as it is Myaka Shouho's main hairstyle these days. Untied they reach the middle of her back. She appears to be rather well pampered with quality makeup on during any of her outings and attires that are mostly seen on big shot magazines. Quite often with eye capturing colors, she purposely takes a more flashy appearance to please the demand of her viewers and accomplish her daily motives within the Confederation's News Network and Public Relations. In more casual circumstances where she either doesn't want to be recognized or is fighting, she's wearing a pair of high-heeled white boots, black jeans with a combat bet containing multiple small pouches, a black tank top and a white jacket over it. Her stature is rather small, but only 151 cm in height and rather light, she doesn't bode the muscle mass of many of her shinobi peers, but such bulk would only trample on her style. Her petite silhouette does demonstrate minuscule levels of strength, but her body is rightly trained in the art of gymnastics and flexibility. A malleable body that can adapt to many situations and adopt techniques a lot easier than one geared to toning muscle. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Aoi Fuegushi 【Alias】 Aoi Don Maquia - Former Name Hamajō's Blue Voice 【Affiliation】 The Hamajō Confederation 【Age】 28 【Sex】 Female 【Sexuality】 Homosexual 【Birthplace】 Amegakure 【Bloodline】 The Don Maquia troupe: Although not officially bloodline, the circus troupe prepares their young to perform certain arts and master certain abilities generally unknown to the world. 【Rank】 Jonin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Once a bubbly airhead, Aoi had since matured a whole lot since the war, becoming a lot more conscious of what she says and how she behaves around people. That said, she is a very illuminating and energetic presence, absolutely impossible to miss within a crowd or an occupied room. She still oozes positive aura despite what happened in Konoha 11 years back, searching for ways to make the situation better for everyone. While still having a need to be the center of everything, she did learn to let her attention gobbling and egocentric desires a rest. Nonetheless, she doesn't mind discussing various things she's achieved and something cut people off to express her sometimes misinformed opinion. She means well, but Aoi isn't one to be completely self-conscious either. Because of this, she can't be a social butterfly, but her powerful presence makes for unique charm and charisma to both sexes and her eloquence as a performer allowed her to gain access to positions that were only available in her dreams. Even things she doesn't quite understand, at all, she can make them convincing enough with the right look and her way of expressing it. A crowd pleaser for sure, all this attention and success have gone up to her behavior however. Now a seductress of the highest caliber, she doesn't mind dressing sexy to seduce those of the fairer sex she deems attractive. In spite of this, she's truly looking for someone she could end up with but fails to produce the exact result her now complex mind expects. The biggest enigma about Aoi would be her her brains, her intelligence. Although brainy with random trivia, she isn't the brightest one of the bunch that's for sure. Her vocabulary isn't too large and sometimes says things she just doesn't know the definition of. She's also ignorant when it comes to understanding more complex issues linked together and has trouble associating ideas, in a sense she isn't the most logical person either. This however comes into question when she clearly demonstrates creativity that surpasses a lot of conditioned shinobi. In the field, she is particularly efficient, at the level of her Prodigy counterpart Yamato, with usually very crafty and deceptive tactics used to finish off any type of foe. She doesn't outsmart them, but she pulls off the most unexpected of things while holding a large amount of skill. Despite this, Aoi is something that is easily influenced and holds her situation dearly. Meaning she can be manipulated through things like morals and people's views on her, as yes she actually cares about what people think. She is indeed loyal to the Confederation, but it can be broken given the right initiative by the opposing forces. 【History】 Before the Hamajō reign: Like many children living in an era of poverty in smaller countries, Aoi was abandoned by her parents a few hours after her birth. Fortunately the parents didn't randomly leave her at a home but instead confided her to the renown Don Maquia troupe as they passed the country. They knew leaving an abandoned child there would motivate them to keep it, as it was how they usually made staff. And so, she was raised in a gypsy-esque environment where travelling was frequent and work was every day, no real weekend. As she grew up, Jouro Don Maquia would not cut her some slack and initiated her to the realities of labor and hardships, but she never really complained as it felt normal to her. It didn't mean she was devoid of any fun, if anything fun was something they managed to develop during work and practice for performances. Usually by mixing the two, Aoi and her closest friend Mia had fun doing their chores while doing various acrobatic acts. She was happy with what she had, and couldn't care less about her biological parents. At one point, she'd be initiated to one of the troupe's secrets, a special way to manipulate chakra without being unique. She had a strong affinity for water, being from the Rain village, and naturally developed the abilities to hide in water and rain, but she had no knowledge of chakra otherwise. The basics were learned through usual practice, walking on water impressed many civilians, so it was general practice, substitution made great magic effects, fake clones too and so on. Chakra was something that enabled great success for the troupe, however the true secret revealed to Aoi's specific affinity would be her mucus ability. With it, she'd easily impress her audience while being exceptionally flexible in most domains. Initially, it wasn't meant to be a weapon, but through creativity, she managed to defend herself from low bandits trying to rob the troupe. Eventually reaching Konoha, multiple Jounin took notice of her unique capabilities that they had never seen before and offered her the chance to become a ninja. Realizing how it would approach her to her goal, she righteously accepted and moved on as a Genin without any Academy training (she was more than capable in entry levels). The only problem would be that she'd be unable to read and write, causing problems to her superiors. Sure she managed to learn most of it, but she isn't quite efficient at it, being a slow reader and writing so poorly it's barely comprehensible. She easily learns new lingo, however. After the Hamajō reign: Many events in Konoha honed her as a shinobi, built her as a lover and ascended her as a potential star. The war swept all that away, her skills were no match, her lover drowned into despair and all she worked for was tuned into ash by this coming of a new world. Disoriented and lost, she clung onto her falling girlfriend, Akio, who took the events extremely badly. Occasional abuse in multiple ways and the general change of behavior from the older one of the couple ended up infuriating the now disillusioned Aoi and prompted her to simply abandon the wreck once and for all. She hated this new world, it changed everything, and her naive self liked how things were. Now it was all controlled and safe, no risk worthwhile or a crowd to please as everyone was too busy to recover. Or so she thought. In reality her talents were exactly what the populace needed in this time of rapid reconstruction and loss. She had lost her masters, her friends and her lover, but the Phoenix would rise from its ashes and burn brighter than ever. Making a small reputation, she'd make herself known by higher generals of the Confederation, including Ryuu and Yakoul. Though she had potential, the genius that is Ryuu saw how malleable her mind was and simply offered something she couldn't refuse. Along with Yamato, she's one of the higher shinobi in the Confederate entourage, though she also holds a prime position in the Presidents inner circle. She doesn't have a voice in the matters, but she stands as the head of public relations, the face of the Government when the President isn't the one making declarations. To add to that, she's been given the position of primary news anchor for the Government's main news channel, or at least the most popular one, and is often given the ability to host other shows sponsored by the same channel. Because of this, Aoi's become a rather relevant icon to the Confederation. At a point during her career, she chose the name Fuegushi as surname to replace her previous one as a step through grief. Indeed, upon learning the fact that her childhood troupe had been missing now for years without a trace, she finally accepted they were permanently gone. 【Family ties】 Aoi's ties are rather strange to say the least. She wasn't raised by ordinary parents, but rather grew up as a carny along with the entire Don Maquia troupe. Her relationship with them is worthy of a sibling-type relation, as they grew up with her since she was in diapers. They did not object to her ambition of becoming a famous ninja, having formed her for such usage in any case. They continue to support her through letters and regular visits at Konoha. As of now, the troupe has been missing since the end of the war, many consider them dead, including Aoi who grieved them. Jouro Don Maquia \| Adoptive Father \| 67, Missing, The leader of the Don Maquia Troupe, regarded as the father of every member, he is highly respected and no one dares to question his authority. Mia Don Maquia \| Spiritual Sister \| 28, Missing, A professional acrobat in the troupe, she was Aoi's best friend and closest 'sister'. Bo Don Maquia \| Spiritual Uncle \| 55, Missing, The lion tamer of the troupe, he often took care of Aoi when she had fallen ill or when Jouro wasn't around. Guru \| Pet \| 19, In Aoi's big house, Aoi's attributed animal she had to raise. It is an elephant she often uses in her performances in the troupe. Akio Tendou \| Ex-Lover \| 29, Not here, Aoi's first girlfriend after changing her love interest paradigm. The relationship ended little after the end of the war as Aoi was simply fed up with her bullshit. 【Dreams and fears】 Having achieved her first goal of being a renown figure in not only a big village, but now the whole world, she only dreams of creating new and exciting things for the world to see. She tries her best to have people see the bright side of this world, to keep it intact. She fears losing this imperfect world and falling into the oubliette, or worst yet being seen as a devil for supporting a state that people were, for some reason, fed up with. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Sporadic and relying a lot of deceit to defeat her foes with grace. Aoi holds the idea of making her fights a spectacle, a show to be enjoyed, as such her fighting style has new been geared to manipulate the way they perceive things while making it a powerful experience for everything, whether it is good or bad. She uses her creative skills to have Genjutsu applied in the most unsuspecting of ways and circumstances, making her almost unbelievably difficult to reach at times. She enjoys employing her Hiden since it is her only ninjutsu weapon and often times only solely rely on it when going on the offensive. This isn't to be confused with the idea that she is a potent fighter up close. Though she prefers mid rage considering none of her abilities are efficient at long range and her small frame makes her vulnerable to close quarters, she is very well versed in taijutsu as a former circus clown and performer. Agile and swift with reflexes typical of an expert in the senses, she easily uses her martial arts skills to use the enemy's strength against them and lay them flat quickly. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Mucus Surprise Description: Although not a true bloodline limit, very few in the world are able to master this ability. Essentially it requires initiation from birth and at least an affinity to water, thus it can be classed as a form of Hiden. Rare societies such as the Don Maquia troupe have maintained its secrets. Basically, it enables the wielder to turn their chakra into different form of oozing mucus that can take the form of different imagined objects and have the properties of things such as rubber or gum. The possibilities are quite huge but the product coming from it is thick liquid-like substance that almost always sticks. Strengths: Generally it keeps the properties of rubber and gum, making it not only dangerously adhesive but strongly resistant to kinetic force coming from blunt strikes. When used as a medium to trap others, it is surprisingly lethal and effective. Strongly resistant to burns as it is originally made of water, conducts electricity poorly due to composition however. Weaknesses: Generally easy to cut through depending on the mass and density, which only require extra strength put into cuts. Those with superior physical strength can resist the stickiness to a great extent, even break it under conditions. 【Ninja techniques】 S rank techniques: Super Mega Magician's Secret! (May or may not have one. Will have it validated when I decide to give her one. Because I won't be using her as a PVP character yet, it isn't a big deal. I mostly want to introduce her.) A rank techniques: 3 Gooey Bungee! Jellyfish Sting! Mumbo Jumbo! B rank techniques: 4 Mister Spodes! Gooey Replica Mirrored Bizarro! Dance of the gallant C rank techniques: 4 Water Release: Starch Syrup Capturing Field Freeze Snap! Gooey Surprise! Snot Bubble! D-E rank techniques: 3 Water Release: Hiding in Water Technique Water Release: Hiding in Rain Technique Demonic Illusion: Double False Surroundings Technique *Basic Jutsu 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Gooey Bungee Rank: A Range: From 0 to 80 meters to apply it, maintained in over 200 meters Description: A transparent strand of mucus is created from her body and can be released from any point she desires. The strand itself can have one end stuck against a target she had contact with as much as she can have it latch onto something from a distance (by pointing at it or something similar). While being transparent, it has little to no texture and can barely be felt if touching the skin due to its lack of smell, taste or consistency. This mucus, however, is dangerous for many reasons. It can contract and release whenever Aoi desires (its her chakra after all), the contraction being exceptionally powerful like a form of 'super-rubber', allowing her to pull our push relatively heavy thing by simply connecting the strand to her index finger. The strength and weight of the target will determine the amount of chakra is demands for the contraction strength. She can also transfer it from her finger to say another target and have it contact, causing one or both the targets to be pulled and hit each other. She can use up to fifteen at once. They can be easily cut, however they do not vanish, making them susceptible to being reattached at any moment. Ripping it off would be logical, however if it was to contract, it would be relatively futile. On lighter objects, it can tighten itself to a point where it can act like a chakra thread, manipulating said smaller objects at will, though that doesn't mean she can be as precise as a puppet master. Jutsu name: Unexpected Reveal: Jellyfish Sting! Rank: A Range: Contact Description: A technique developed during the time when Aoi was under evaluation for "Jonin confirmation". Given the lack of examination, she was put under Katsu Hyuuga's care for testing. Forming a type of student - teacher bond, they grew accustomed to each other's abilities and were able to create this technique. Utilizing the same principles as the soft fist fighting style, Aoi either uses the tip of her fingers or the pointed knuckles of her major fingers to "spray" raw mucus chakra. Unlike Hyuuga, she cannot pinpoint it on either tenketsu or on organs to have a result, but she can have the raw chakra pierce through armor (still requires contact) and flesh and have it take solid form a second later. The result is mucus chakra clogging primarily the nervous system and somewhat of the chakra system (mostly efficient on members). If hitting an arm for instance, the nervous messages from let's say the elbow if hit there down to the hands will be blocked, essentially paralyzing the forearm. With the body, hitting the abdomen or the chest strongly reduces mobility to the point where coordination is difficult (members remain normal), the more it is hit the more one will feel exhausted. If the spine, neck or head are hit, they are instantly paralyzed. No matter where, the effects of each hit lasts for two posts. They are also very easy to counter with a strong punch considering Aoi's poor strength, making it an ability extremely efficient but ridiculously risky. The fact that it can just be substituted with a simple stab also gears this to a more non-lethal approach. Jutsu name: Mumbo Jumbo! Rank: A Range: Touch Description: Possibly the most terrifying jutsu used by Aoi and the 'magician's secret' she's never revealed to the public. This is a genjutsu that requires that her chakra enters into contact with an opponent, either via contact or through ninjutsu. With this done, the magic can begin. The victims become completely blind to Shinobi magic and are unable to see or feel Aoi's chakra, and by extension, the forms they take. Any form of ninjutsu she uses will appear strangely, but she'll often make it appear as though they're part of something else, like a trick to deceive the opponent and make them weary. Sensors can see their own chakra as well as chakra in Aoi's body, but not what comes out of it, as such they can see they're under a genjutsu, but when are they not with Aoi? Jutsu name: Mister Spodes! Rank: B Range: Can reach up to 20 meters (tentacles) Description: Using the same cloth as Abra Kadabra, Aoi twists and turns the handkerchief with blinding speed (such as a clown making a balloon animal) until it forms a hollow Octopus with a ^0^ face. It would only be when she tosses it while doing the Ram seal that it suddenly gets filled with a mass of mucus in it. It becomes about 2 feet in height and holds eight tentacles likes a regular octopus. They aren't very mobile and are generally very slow, however their tentacles extend rather quickly and can catch someone off guard. The mucus in the tentacles serves as a form of suction cup that keeps what it captures stuck in a tight bind similar to Gooey Surprise (with same limits). The Mister Spodes can easily glues themselves to the ground to prevent enemies from dragging them, essentially making them very useful seals to non-superhuman fighters. They die when their head it damaged (to the point where it leaks). Aoi can make up to four of them per fight and they can also be used as body replacement dummies. They also have a very eerie tendency to wail 'Boyoyoyoyon' quite often, no one knows how this is possible. Jutsu name: Gooey Replica! Rank: B Range: Self, Clone technique Description: Essentially shadow clone technique applied on mucus. The clones are composed of strange, green mucus and are able to move like regular people. They can also use mucus abilities with half the power of the original (in exception to techniques higher in rank than this one). When they die, they explode into a heavy mass of mucus that sticks onto anything around them, hence their use as suicide bombers to hinder the movements of an opponent. Up to seven can be made per fight. Jutsu name: Mirrored Bizarro! Rank: B Range: Smell Description: A genjutsu that depends on smell related activation. Because Aoi constantly wears a high quality Lavender perfume that ca be smelled from multiple meters away, she she exploits that fact to make it extremely hard to detect. In this circumstance, she performs a single hand seal, often doing it after doing another jutsu to make the enemy believe only one jutsu was made, but she actually makes her chakra adopt an aroma the same as her perfume. The smell is strong but hardly noticeable due to it being normal in her presence, but it deeply affects the perception of the people infected. In this case, everything they perceive will be inverted in direction, left is right, up is down. They will see everything this way, but the reality of it will be the contrary. The victim can pick up on it as they can also hear the real version attacking in the opposite side (as well as sense it via chakra sensing), but the illusion remains overwhelmingly real, and without a release, their reflexes will likely make them sloppier as it would seem as though they are genuinely attacked from the illusion. Jutsu name: Dance of the gallant Rank: B Range: Sight Description: A Genjutsu that is activated whenever the patterns on her umbrella are seen as they hold a hypnotic effect combined with her chakra. The effects allow her to create a replica of herself between 0 m to 1 m away from her, no matter the side. It will mimic movements typical of Aoi, however the true Aoi is completely replaced by the false one. This is usually made to confuse close range attackers, making them think she is capable of dodging everything before taking the right opportunity to strike. This can also be used to simply confuse any form of attacker into hitting the false image while th real remains concealed. Exceptionally deadly if the genjutsu isn't noticed fast enough. The image can of course move around as long as Aoi is in the perimeter. Jutsu name: Freeze Snap! Rank: C Range: Sight - Sound Description: Aoi forms a small ball of Yin chakra and simply tosses it in the air or on the nearby ground, only to have it pop like fireworks or a firecracker. The flash is so bright, it works as a flashbang. The effects are simple, those exposed regain their sight extremely fast, the flash was barely a millisecond, but they'll feel an endless buzzing sound in their ears with nothing else and the world around them frozen in time. Everything looks like the instant before the bang went out. Evidently a Genjutsu, it is easy to notice and Kai out. Jutsu name: Gooey Surprise! Rank: C Range: Close, in person. Description: A much more developed variation of the transformation technique. Indeed, the user covers themselves with a gooey layer of mucus capable of taking different shapes and sizes, colors and textures. The mucus is highly adhesive though, enough to make it act like quicksand: The more there's resistance, the deeper it gets, though it cannot be that deep because of Aoi's thin figure. It is very useful for trapping though not too specialized in hand to hand combat. Those specialized can use their techniques to break free with relative ease, though it doesn't mean that they're immune to the immediate effects. It doesn't give immunity to heat either, though it does slightly reduce overall damage, along with any other type of damage really. Jutsu name: Snot danger parade! Rank: C Range: Varies, close to medium usually. Description: By either using a specific hand sign or inhaling things like pepper, Aoi sneezes large mucus bubbles capable of swallowing more than one individual. The larger that it can get would be as large as a horse. Those trapped inside can easily pop it, however it would result in the bubble imploding, not only causing strong pressure to hit their bodies, rendering most to a rather confused and head aching state, while being covering in dense mucus stuck on the ground. This also causes smaller, human size bubbles to take shape. If the popping is made from outside, the explosion is general and hits everyone except those inside. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Fuegushi Weapon, tool or object type: Umbrella Description: A strange, light blue umbrella Aoi carries around with her. It appears to be the type en vogue these days, but her's holds a strange butterfly-like black pattern on it which enables one of her genjutsu. The handle can be removed to revealed a concealed blade, slightly shorter than a rapier. This Umbrella is capable of releasing a powerful kinetic force at close range when opened, making it capable of repelling powerful projectiles without even a recoil when the timing is right, making some unsuspecting close rangers stumble back in surprise as well. It is chakra enhanced and its fabric is strangely durable yet thin. Weapon, tool or object name: Magic Cards Weapon, tool or object type: Cutting weapon Description: A set of playing cards forged to be as sharp as a kunai, however lighter and more malleable. They are easier to use but weak in one on one blade fights as their small weight makes them easy to break through. They are perfect for assassination and tactically placed hits, however.
51,180	1,381	87	1,428	199	Masato Saruwatari Sunagakure's Military Facility - Lecture Hall Masato sat amongst a sea of shinobi, most of whom he only had knowledge of in passing, as they gathered for some meeting. He had been one of the last to arrive, due to his detour in making sure the civilians he was guarding made it to safety, and as such was near the entrance to the lecture hall. The first few minutes following his arrival had been spent with him searching the crowd for anyone he knew, specifically the kunoichi that had assisted him. He wanted to let her know that he had accomplished his goal, and that the innocents under his charge had been brought out of the hell that had been brought upon the festival. Originally he had thought it would be easy to spot her, despite the large amount of people, due to her hair. He was proven incorrect however and gave up his fruitless search and instead turned his focus to the creature at the very bottom of the hall, presuming that they would be the one addressing the group. He didn’t have to wait long as it began its harsh speech. It was not only the choice of wording that made it sound overtly harsh, they were necessary and effective, more so it was the actual sound of it’s voice. It sounded as if it had eaten several pieces of sandpaper and did not bother healing the damage. However rather than detracting from the purpose and power of the words its scratchy voice managed to give more weight behind them, at least in Masato’s eyes. As the speech began moving towards what he believed was the conclusion the creature made its way up the stairs, and for a brief moment of time was standing just a few feet away from Masato. The overwhelming presence of the individual made it difficult to breathe, and he was relieved when it finally began making its descent heading towards the location it had started in. The entire conference passed in the blink of an eye, as the creature quickly dismissed all within the room save for a couple of individuals who Masato could not see from his vantage point. With haste he quickly made for the exit that he had been standing near, making sure to avoid the wave of shinobi and representatives that began flooding the hallway just a moment after he entered it. Rather than join the chaos he decided to press himself against the wall and simply watch the flow. He was not in a rush to leave, and until he received orders he still considered this a day off. As he relaxed against the wall he continued to stare into the mass of people.	Lost's Retinue of Surprisingly Not Stereotypical Shinobi. “There is nothing more satisfying than seeing your strategy succeed.” Masato is an average looking individual, he isn't one of those that could easily be picked out a crowd. He stands right around 5'9 and weighs 140 lbs. His choice of clothing also isn't unique, aside from the Chuunin vest that he wears at all times he is dressed in plain t-shirts that vary in color from white to slightly darker white and dark gray jeans. In colder weather he will wear the jacket that is seen above. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Masato Saruwatari 【Alias】 N/A for now 【Affiliation】 The Hamajō Confederation 【Age】 18 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Straight 【Birthplace】 Konohagakure 【Bloodline】 Saruwatari 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Masato is best described as a cool and distant individual, however this attitude is not a method of preventing bonds or anything related it was simply how he was raised. He is fully capable of affection his method of showing it is just dialed down more so than most. In his own way he is very passionate even if it doesn't translate well to the outside world. When talking about his family, chess, etc there is a distinct gleam in his eyes if one would look close enough. In line with his base personality Masato approaches negative scenarios with a level head, analyzing every thing that makes up the event before he decides what his reaction will be. While at first this makes him seem insincere, and even colder, this is not the case. He simply knows that emotions can cause one to overreact and does his best to avoid doing so. 【History】 To say that Masato had a childhood would be a vast exaggeration of the early years in his life. Before he was able to read his parents would spend the entire day reading to him, but they never read from children's books. Instead he listened to them read page after page of books written by strategist from long ago. His family had always been known for their intelligence, and his parents were determined to follow that legacy. As soon as he could read on his own his days were consumed by it, though the topics ended up becoming more varied ranging from mathematics to poetry. Once he entered school Masato excelled for quite some time, partially due to his parents tutoring him at home during this time. However when he reached the age of 10 and was given the chance to graduated it was pulled away from him. While initially the school thought it would be fine to push him forward they soon discovered that his taijutsu was not up to the task and he ended up having to go through another year of school before progressing. This set back discouraged him for a time, but this vanished shortly once his parents began to teach him their Hiden jutsu moveset. His last year at this level of schooling went by quickly as much of his time outside of it was spent learning his family's signature jutsu. While he had been at the top of his class during his younger years he fell behind a bit when he advanced to the next level, though that had nothing to do with the material being too dificult. More and more of his time was being devoted to his extracurricular studies and he simply didn't have time to do all of the work assigned to him. This naturally lead him to falling out of his position at the top but he did not care in the slightest, nor did his parents since he was progressing through their training at a rapid pace. He ended up graduating at the age of 15 and was promoted to the rank of Chunnin as expected. Since then he has divided his time between taking on missions and furthering his control and skill with his jutsu, with much more attention being given to the latter. 【Family ties】 He is the only child in his household and he has a very close bond with both his mother and father. The Saruwatari family are very close and rather reclusive, though this is mainly due to the fact that they enjoy activities that are typically carried out in seclusion and not out of a dislike for the company of others. Hatta Saruwatari \| Father \| 45, Resides on the Family's property on the outskirts of Konoha, Retired Shinobi Diao Saruwatari \| Mother \| 39, Same as above, Active Jounin 【Dreams and fears】 Masato wants nothing more than to contribute to his family's legacy and prove that he is worthy of doing so. Naturally his greatest fear is falling short of this and fading into obscurity or worse damning the Saruwatari name to the point that it is meaningless. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Outside of his signature jutsu moveset, Masato is inept at almost every aspect of fighting. When his opponent manages to close the distance and engage in close quarter combat he is forced to rely on dodging until he can intercept his opponent with one of his constructs. 【Hiden】 Hiden: Construct Army Description: Construct Army is a Jutsu that was created by the Saruwatari family many years ago. The user is able to summon a number of different constructs, the exact types differ not only between people but it also depends on what avenues of the jutsu the particular individual pursues. These constructs are in essence non-sentient summons that obey the user completely, though this obedience varies on a couple of factors that will be described later in each individual summon's section. While most of the construct types are discovered through careful study of one of the numerous scrolls that have been passed down every once in a great while a new one will be discovered, after which it is then recorded in either a scroll that has not been filled or in a new one. The constructs are controlled by either vocal commands, movement based commands, or a combination of the two. Strengths: While each type of construct has it's own strengths the universal strength of this Hiden is it's versitility. The individual strengths of each type will be described in their section. Weaknesses: Much like the strengths each type of construct has it's own weaknesses which shall be detailed in their area. However they also all carry a universal weakness and that is that they are completely useless if their user is unable to command them. This can be caused by either preventing them from speaking or moving. In addition the usefullness of the constructs can be hampered if the user's vision is effected, either by targeting the eyes directly or using the environment.. Note about the amounts of Constructs At his current skill level Masato is able to have complete control over a total of 6 C rank constructs, any more than that will lead to a degridation in his control with one exception which will be made obvious shortly. I will now list the total amounts of constructs he can have, including variations. These numbers indicate the max he can have while still retaining complete control over them. 6 C Rank 2 B Rank or 1 B Rank and 3 C Rank 1 A Rank Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Footsoldier Construct Rank: C Rank Range: Close range, must be within blade range. Description: The Footsoldier is one of the four basic constructs that Masato has, and of them it is both the weakest and strongest. This is due to the fact that it is average in all areas, while the other three each of a specialization. The Footsoldier is equipped with a simple katana and basic armor. It has decent defence against blunt force attacks while it is weak to piercing strikes. Jutsu name: Shieldbearer Construct Rank: C Rank Range: N/A Description: As the name implies the Shieldbearer Construct is a defense construct that's primary goal is to defend Masato. They come equipped with a large shield and heavy armor. This naturally upsets their movement speed making them the slowest of the base constructs. They have very high defense against blunt force attacks and reasonable defense against piercing ones, however either can destroy them if they land on an unarmored/low armored area though the piercing is more likely to do so. These areas are the same you would find in most armors, the joints, the neck, and the eyes. Given their defensive specialization they have no method of dealing damage. Jutsu name: Bombarder Construct Rank: C Rank Range: Close in the sense that they must be aligned with their target, but they can be very high above them. Description: The Bombarder Construct is the only one of the four basic ones that does not stand on the ground, it is also the only one that is not humanoid. Instead it is shaped like a small bird. Of the basic constructs it is the fastest but it also has the weakest defense needing to take only one hit in order to be destroyed. The Bombardier's purpose is to fly over the enemy and drop an explosive that has the blast range and power equal to that of a regular explosive tag. They can only drop one at a time and afterwards they have to go on a 'cooldown' in order to create another one. Jutsu name: Archer Construct. Rank: C Rank Range: Most effective at Medium range but can strike from Long distance with a decrease in accuracy. Description: The Archer Construct is the final of the basic 4 and it focuses on distance attacks with the use of a bow. It is the second weakest in terms of defense, though the difference between it and the Bombardier is very small. Unless the strike hit's one on the arm or leg it only takes one hit to destroy it. Each construct has a quiver filled with 25 arrows. They do not carry any melee weapons as they are designed to stay outside of the range of their target. Jutsu name: Drill Sergeant. Rank: C Rank Range: N/A. Description: The Drill Sergeant allows Masato to have an additional 2 C Rank constructs on the field without a loss of control. This means that if he wished he could use 6 Drill Sergeants in order to double the amount of C rank constructs he can use. However if the Drill Sergeant is destroyed he will lose that increased control immediately and will have to get rid of the extra constructs or risk disobedience. In addition he can only use the initial 6 Drill Sergeants at most, he can not use them to control additional Drill Sergeants. The construct itself is between the Footsoldier and the Shieldbearer in terms of defense, it wears no armor but is highly durable. It would take two blows that would be fatal to a human to destroy it, or 4 in non lethal locations. Of course this can be decreased to one if it loses it's head. Jutsu name: Assassin Rank: B Rank Range: This model requires extreme close range to be at it's most effective. Description: The Assassin is the fastest of all of his current constructs, while also by far the stealthiest capable of masking its presence from lesser skilled Chunnin down. It has very weak defenses, equal to that of the Bombarder, but it is highly skilled in close quarter combat. It's agility allows it to dodge and parry for quite sometime while it attempts to make an opening to land a killing blow. It is equipped with a tanto and dark clothing. Jutsu name: The General Rank: A Rank Range: Close range. Description: As its rank would indicate The General is the strongest of Masato's current constructs. While most of the other constructs stand right around Masato's height, with the exception of the Bombarder, The General stands at 6'3. He is equipped with a stronger katana than the footsoldier and armor that is equal to that of the Shieldbearer. His movement speed is still hindered but not to the degree of the Shieldbearer. With his armor and durability it takes seven solid hits to destroy him, but like most of the others this can be circumvented. In the Case of The General if he is his directly in the eye he will either be disabled or completely destroyed.
51,181	1,381	88	1,221	49	Tanji Tsugiharu At the foot of Central Command Stairs, Konoha Ame-Suna Border, Harvest Festival Tanji had arrived to the meeting with everybody else that was involved in the kerfuffle outside. Despite the rough beginnings of the day the higher ups were able to organize a suitable and informative conference. Many of the operators at the intelligence corps mumbled about the oddity that commands the confederate's armed forces, but he didn't expect it to be a foul-mouthed feline calling the shots.But hey, in a world where wrinkled old men can summon talking toads and monkeys, it was more comical than unsettling. That said he made himself comfortable and listened into the Commander's speech, he chocked on his own tongue and squirmed around his chair listening to how nonchalant and informal his soon to be commanding officer was, it was a far cry from the prim and proper image of powerful Kages and Sages, but you wouldn't catch him complaining out loud. He did however enjoy its speech in showing the rebel scum what-for with its jeers and japes at the Red Sages' mothers' promiscuity. He went as far as actually "Whooping" at that part. By the end of the public speech he applauded and got up to meet whoever he would be attached to. What he didn't expect was to be personally addressed by the head-honcho itself as it directed them to a rather luxurious room. "Take whatever the hell you want. We're going to get comfortable all three of us. So, Tenji was it? Who cares? Anyway, how was it with that fucking buzzkill in the 11th Corps? Jeez, tell me about your life there actually. As for you, Kanata, yeah that's it, just tell me what the fuck you were doing in that shithole in the first place. You know, the Festival no sane kid would go unless they were forced through death threats." Tanji was visibly nervous, and didnt really know what to do with his hand -or body- in general and just opted to stand stark straight, and look just above his commanders head without actually looking into its eyes. "Uh- I mean, Sir- or Mam, whichever you think best fits, sorry," he stuttered, before recomposing himself, and shouting in response louder than what was required, "The 11th corps. does the confederacy proud. Their enigmatic tactics are what you would expect from such a group, but to tell you the truth I felt very out of place and uh- uncomfortable, when on very long missions with them, Sir, or, ah- Mam. I mostly provided screens and distractions for their louder operations and coverage in their more subtle approaches." He hesitated once again, "(Uh... what else), OH! I also served as primary interrogator for the squads I was attached to as they saw that my loyalty and zeal were very hard to compromise when I delved into enemy heads sir, -or, ah- mam." He finished rather weakly, hoping that his answer was sufficient as he waited for a response.	“I think he's dead -er, well, everybody else think he is, but now I'm not sure.” An unassuming man by most standards, not impressive or lacking in most aspects, just simply there. Short, if a bit rustled, brown hair, with a square face free of any scars or blemishes and average everyday brown eyes, in the academy you wouldn't really notice him in the sea of exceptional talent, but he gets by.Not particularly skinny, tall, muscular, just a healthy and acceptable male in his early 20's. Probably not going to amount to much beyond being a low-tier Jonin if he's lucky. Probably. Personnel files.

Tanji Tsugiharu has exhibited little to no extreme beliefs or jarring idiosyncrasies (which in itself might be one). The Confederacy has deemed him a loyal citizen of the state. He has a positive work ethic, follows rules and regulations to the letter save for the most exceptional situation (of which he has been disciplined and reprimanded as per the law). He is as kind and self-less as any bachelor of the confederacy is and is devoted to his position. 【Personality】 Rather mundane. Pleasant enough in many social interactions, and prefers to follow conversations rather than lead them himself. That said he has some good friends back in his home town and has made a decent few in his new post. Amicable to his clients, but oddly stoic and unfeeling when it comes to dealing with traitors and rebels. He prefers to spend his free time drinking with close friends in a quiet homely tavern or ramen shop, and has an odd fixation with karaoke. When off duty he spends his days with his small family back in his home town. In battle he is as serious as any good shinobi should be in those situations. He is selfless in his duty to the confederacy and has volunteered to be bait on multiple occasions on the condition that the battle ends quickly afterwards. When plans fail and battles are drawn out he doesn't panic too much, but 9 times out of 10 will opt to lead or support a withdrawal. "Live to fight another day." 【History】 Tsugiharu's parents were simple Chunin Guards with a Customs House on a major trade route, their duties were rather mundane and drool, but once in a while held excitement when travelers had disagreements with the customsofficer. The couple resided in a modest home after an unplanned pregnancy had made the two man and wife. It was tough going at first but the relative isolation and non-relevancy of the village made for a peaceful life, and they grew content and able with the new family. 14 years after the birth of their first son, and with much more financial stability the 2 deemed themselves ready for another son. The Tanji house lived peacefully for 3 more years until the dissent and turmoil of the Confederacy reached their village leading to a violent terrorist attack on the village's crossroads leading to their deaths. This left the 17 year old boy to care for his young brother, fortunately the Proprietor of the Customs House, who at that point was now an old family friend offered to shelter the 2 orphans until the 18th birthday of the elder brother who decided to not rely on the kindness of the Customs Master any longer. Such the 2 siblings lived in a shabby apartment the elder supporting the small family as a Customs House guard like his parents. He, Tanji Hamurato, would continue to support (and sometimes spoil) his younger brother as he took his own wife(Tanji Orimoto) and had a daughter (Tanji Ekka) of their own while was just starting high-school. Tsugiharu was an average student in his own right never excelling or lacking in any field or discipline. He was studious and forthwith at the academy but never went above or beyond what was required. His work as a Genin in his squad was also mundane sticking to class D and lower missions, in exception to one class C defense contract. Simply tasked with defending a local tavern from extorting thugs (non-shinobi rabble), the mission report told of the 3 genin having to deal with some thugs as the accompanying Jonin talked with the owners, but nothing really came out of it. However rumors that local gangster being rather jumpy, defensive and generally paranoid around small sounds and shadows circulated around the tavern's area. Come the Chunin exams though he displayed adept problem solving and leadership skills within his squad, but that might have just been in need rather than by ambition. He opted to remain quarrel-less and jovial with the other Genin and never really showed exceptionaltalent other than what was required to get through the trials. However it can be noted that during the elimination tournament that the young Tanji employed some rather harsh and quick measures using poisons, weapons and simple genjutsus to end matches before his opponents can truly pull out their trump cards. A good thing too, for the proctors had stated that if not for his "bag of cheap tricks" his opponents would have easily out-classed him had the fight dragged on. He was unceremoniously given the rank of Chunin, barely passing after having been defeated by the more Capable Genin that saw through his ruses in the final rounds of the tournament. After graduating opted to become a Contract work Shinobi unlike his family before him. He takes missions for the Confederacy as many times as he can, but seems to seek missions pertaining to the rooting out and apprehension of dissident and unloyal citizens and terrorists. Currently lives by himself in a modest apartment close to his work place. 【Family ties】 Lower-Middle Class, had some hardships for sure, but was never truly in danger of starving or dying of exposure. Such a life made Tsugiharu rather humble and soft-spoken. Hopes to keep up with his duties and occasionally visits his brother and his family. Tanji Hamurato \| Elder Brother \| (36), Kusagakure, Currently a guard at a customs house. Sanguine, always optimistic and smiling in many situations. Tanji Orimoto \| Sister-in-Law \| (35), Kusagakure, Housewife of Hamurato, Choleric, rather plain but has the charm of a country girl going for her. Demure and rather quiet in contrast to her husband. Tanji Ekka\| Niece \| 9, Kusagakure, Student, Mercurial, tempermental and extremely competitive. A bit of a tomboy and a much more naturally talented than her father and uncle in the academy. 【Dreams and fears】 Dreams of finally bringing the traitors and belligerents of the Confederacy to justice and hopes to finally see peace and order to the state. Fears of losing his family to the dangers that is the enemies of the Confederacy. Combat reports. Has a quite odd fighting style and might be the epitome of "work smarter not harder." Picks and chooses his engagements when he knows the enemy may be taken down quickly and with minimal loss. This usually ends up with him or a squad-mate in grievous condition so long the opponent is taken out before unnecessary damage is done to anybody else. Such operations usually include him stringing together a myriad of feints, illusions and gambits to ensure the enemy can be taken down in one decisive attack by his squad rather than prolonged engagements. This unfortunately makes him rather sub-par when caught unawares. As such he is most delegated to planned attacks on high value targets to either eliminate, apprehend or interrogate 【Fighting style】 Some might call his methods cowardice but it has kept him alive. He employs the liberal use of clones supplemented by heavy use of false sounds and images using his specialized study in illusionary genjustsu. He chips away at his opponents using small thrown weapons like shurikens and senbons to keep his opponent on edge and unfocused. While his genjutsu gives ample distractions and false visions he also uses fine rope and bells tied to said weapons to create snares and distractions for the slim but inevitable chance that his opponent finally makes a mistake. When they do he delivers a powerful and dibilitating poisons through the same methods as above when the opponent finally opens themselves up to receive his limited supply. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 NONE 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Bringer of Darkness Technique B rank techniques: Demonic Bells: Phantom Sound Chains (Uses a Network of Tuned Bells strung onto ropes to create a melody rather than a flute) Interrogation Genjutsu C rank techniques: Earth Release: Underground Projection Fish Technique.

51,182	1,381	89	925	1,132	Mikoto, Red Sages, Being laughed at by his fellow Red Sages Mikoto did not care for the stiffled laughs or suppressed smirkings of his fellow companions, since several surrounding him didn't even try to hide it. He shrugged, "Fools. They believe something like death needs to be horrible, but given the correct artist, it can become something beautiful." he was talking to himself of course. Lady Tametomo didn't seem to acknowledge his statement either and just went on with the details for the next mission. To steal a pair of Uchiha weapons. Madara's Gunbai and Sasuke's sword. It sounded really exciting but, sadly, he was not picked for the mission. He folded his arms and even pouted after that. Perhaps he should just go with them, without asking questions. He would've probably done so were it not for the fact that his name was announced, to go with someone else. Who was it if not, lo and behold, great Katsuko, but don't get him wrong, he does think Katsuko is actually worth something. He was smart enough to leave Yakoul on the dust, after all. Mikoto was sure of it because he was back in the base in a single piece. Even if the cat decided not to kill him, Katsuko would still be missing one or two limbs by then. Mikoto respected it, at the very least, and was conscious of the fact that he wouldn't be able to defeat him, at least on his own. After that, the meeting was adjourned and everyone could go about their business as they pleased before the mission. Mikoto in particular decided to get better acquainted with Katsuko, whom he'd see much of in the next mission. He didn't even bother going back to his room and preparing his battle attire, even if the mission was going to be the next morning. That could wait, as for now, meeting Katsuko and getting to know each other was priority. Mikoto was accustomed to fighting in tag teams, but always with Kanata or support-type shinobi. This time, he'd be with a full offense kind of guy, just like himself. It could be really good or really bad, depending on what happened after that. "Katsuko, just the man I wanted to see." Mikoto approached Katsuko. "What do you think if you and me go get better acquainted over a warm meal in the mess hall? I think you and me should have a real good chat, since we'll be working together in tomorrow's mission." All of what he said was with his usual charming smile that would make any simpleton woman melt of the sheer charm of the man. Unluckily for him, several were already whispering of how 'Mikoto was trying to put the moves on Katsuko'. Kanata, Undecided, Trying not to laugh at Yakoul's speech Kanata smiled at Mirai when she arrived with Aneko. She nodded, and answered Mirai, "Nice to meet cha, Aneko. I am Kanta Amatsurahashi." She nodded. It was a miracle she got her name right most of the time. "And don't worry if you get your tongue tangled with that. I know I did the first time." She shrugged and smiled again. After that, she turned her attention to Yakoul. Unlike Mirai, she had a reason to listen to the whole thing. Well into the middle of the cat-like thing, Kanata started giggling. More so with every other word it said. Yeah... everything Yakoul said hit Kanata's funny bone. Why? Because the guy was fucking insane. Kanata could do nothing but laught at that point. They were at war. A very real fact for her right now. She was at war, in the force opposing her brother's faction, and she was only a 16 year old teenager. Oh, by the Gods... and now, the fucking cat himself was calling for her to go along with him to some or other room. Wiping away a single tear (from laughing, mind you), Kanata stood up and turned on her heel, ready to follow after Yakoul, before she turned to Mirai again, "Sorry, but the sicko is calling for me. You saw what happened with the body and all... honestly, I don't want to piss him off more than I should, and I tend not to watch my tongue most of the time, so... yeah, I'll call for help if I need it." She said, sticking her tongue out and with a troubled frown in her face. She hurried after Tanji and Yakoul. "Crap, I didn't ask for her number. Kanata thought to herself as she trailed behind the cat-thing and the black haired young shinobi. They were now in some kind of luxurious lounge and Kanata did just as Yakoul. She let herself fall on one of the comfy looking sofas and even bounced some on it, before letting herself be embraced by the sweet, sweet comfiness of the sofa. Ah, yes, just like home. "C'mon dude, no need to be all stiff." Kanata said with a dismissive wave of her hand. "Go get a drink, sit down and then drop yourself in one of this fucking sweet sofas. And then just call this thing... thing." She turned to Yakoul. "Because I dunno what I should fuckin' call it either. Aside from the obvious 'Yakoul' shit, but that sounds too intimidating... hm... how about 'Neko-sama'?" With a slight smirk on her face, Kanata pulled one of its ears. "Sounds cute, Japanese AND gender fluid. Perfect for him, if he keeps his damn mouth shut." Kanata laughed some after that. "And my mom took me there. Not like I wanted to go, but there I was and here I am. Now, I can't get a fucking cat out of my back aaaand I made a new friend. If the cat were cuter, the day would be pretty good." She said with an exaggerated nod. She was well aware it could hurt her, and really badly, but it had the opportunity before and didn't take it. Why would he do it now? Regardless of that, she just hoped that neither Yakoul nor Tanji could see how tense she really was. There was a lot she was not saying. Like, the fact that her brother was probably there with the Red Sages too and that perhaps she'd meet him once again in the mission they would have. It was a really bad day for her that gave her a lot to think, not to mention the oncoming war... Most teenagers have to wonder which panties they will throw at their favorite teenage idol, not if they should risk becoming a traitor for the sake of their brother. (mine too, but don't tell anyone) Anzai with a real shitty roundy image, Red Sages, After the meeting "Now, I wonder if our great lady really could not handle a freak like him." Anzai said after hearing Katsuko's comment. Even if he was almost whispering, Anzai could still hear him loud and clear thanks to his blindness, not to mention that he was fairly near too. "Perhaps it is only a matter of skill and avoid being intimidated by someone with a big title. They are usually rather talkative." He was insulting Katsuko, of course, but it still didn't seem like it, with his monotonous voice. After Tametomo finished her speech, Anzai brought his cane to the ground and stood up. After that, he swung it a pair of times in his right hand and then stopped it by taking it with his left hand. "How entertaining. And here I thought Tametomo-sama did not like me much." Anzai said with a really faint smile in his face. "Regardless, I should make for the mess hall." He said to himself and then made his way to the mess hall. He needed food for tomorrow's mission. He was sure that being next to Tametomo would require a lot of energy. Anzai was an expert at killing people in one shot too, so maybe that was why she decided to keep the blind shinobi near her. Regardless, food was first and foremost, and he was starving. He took twice the amount the others shinobis did and digged in. If his new teammates wanted to come and meet the man they were going to work with, they were more than welcome to join him at his table. No one else wanted to sit there, apparently. Slightly,	I want a cool name for where I keep my characters too “Who might that handsome guy in the mirror be? Ah, it's just me.” Meet Amatsurahashi Mikoto. A young man standing at 1.79 meters who probably spends more time looking at himself in the mirror than actually fighting. His long red hair made into a ponytail is probably the one with the best care in the whole army, even among the women. His fair skin has so many layers of creams and other chemicals that some men think he'll explode if there's some fire near him. His blue eyes have never been seen in another state than their almost always perfect one in which Mikoto keeps them. There are some rumors going around that say his eyes can't actually be that pretty alone, saying that they MUST be using contact lenses. He is so picky with his food and training menu to keep his slim, yet strong build, that many come to take his advice on how to take better care of their own physique. Amatsurahashi Mikoto, the man who spends a lot of time trimming himself and is actually not gay. That is the man standing before you. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Amatsurahashi Mikoto 【Alias】 That one not-gay guy that seems gay AKA Metrosexual. 【Affiliation】 Red Sages. 【Age】 20 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Heterosexual. Might be willing to change in the future. 【Birthplace】 Kirigakure. The Village Hidden In The Mist. 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Have you ever met that one person that just seems to sing everything when he talks? That's the kind of person Mikoto is. A lot of people think he is annoying, but he just shows no signs of changing. Ever since he was a child he's had one rule with which he lives by. To never change himself even if others want to change him. Always remain true to the desires of his heart. He is that kind of whimsical guy. He loves art, music and just about anything that expresses the true desires of the heart. He spends a great deal of time in unnecessary and excessive grooming. He also seems to vastly prefer the company of men rather than the company of woman. These are just some of the reason as to why a lot of people think Mikoto is actually homosexual. Mikoto is only really picky when it comes to women, not to mention that he isn't popular with woman either because of how effeminate he seems at times. Several of his close friends actually know this, and still like to tease him about that. Having sparked several misunderstandings, Mikoto has made an habit of introducing himself with his sexuality in his introduction line. Despite his love for his beauty, Mikoto is neither an stranger to fight nor is he scared of them. He is not a ninja just for show. Mikoto's will to fight is just as much, if not even more, than other ninjas. He will never run away, nor will he ever admit he is outpowered. That's why he believes it is wrong for shinobi's to only be after money and not to follow their heart's desires. He does, however, protect his face a lot more than any other shinobi does. His reason to be one of the Red Sages is simple; "Doesn't freedom sound like a beautiful concept to you? I'd very much like to see what true freedom is like." 【History】 What can you expect from Mikoto's story? Yes, he was bullied as a kid. Yes, he was beaten up a lot as a kid. No, he was not mentally scarred or traumatised by this. Mikoto actually fought back. He's never been afraid of getting his hands dirty. Though he's always been a dilligent student, more than once has he been scolded by his teachers because of how many fights he got himself into. During elementary school, he had to fight his way through bullies and smart-asses who thought he was nothing more than a sissy. It wasn't until he started going to junior high school that he discovered a better way to deal with bullies instead of fighting them. Completely ignoring them. Why, there's nothing more infuriating than the sissy you are trying to piss off completely ignores your very existance. It ended up either with the guys giving up and moving on to their next victim or them trying to beat up Mikoto, which ended up badly for them. Again. By the time he entered high school, Mikoto had created a reputation for himself. Never again did he have to deal with idiots trying to piss him off. Sadly, it was... boring. Extremely so. How could he ever relieve this boredom? Already studying to be a ninja and a Chuunin, and the Hamajo Confederation didn't seem eager to start a war any time soon. Then, what could little old Mikoto do to relieve his thirst for fighting? The Red Sages was the only thing that came to his mind. 【Family ties】 The Amatsurahashi family. Harsh in their ninja training, lax in their concept of what a man should be. Why you ask? Mikoto's father died when he was 4 on the way to the hospital when Mikoto's sister was about to be born. So, Mikoto had to quickly grow up and become the man of the house and so, he had no time to have his lunch handed over to him by some guys who taught were better than him. Not to mention he had an example to set for his sister. Amatsurahashi Haruka \| Mother \| 42, Kirigakure, Reitred Shinobi Amatsurahashi Kanata \| Sister \| 16, Kirigakure, Shinobi, Chuunin 【Dreams and fears】 His dream is to see actual freedom. To be able to see what it truly means for a shinobi to be able to be free. He'd also like to learn how to play an instrument, ANY instrument. His deepest and darkest fear is for all that is beautiful to him, including his family, to be taken away from him all at once. To leave him at the mercy of a world where nothing can no longer make him feel alive. Basically, being alive but dead inside is his biggest fear. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Many describe Mikoto's fighting style as refined and entracing. They say it is like watching him dance instead of fighting. Still, Mikoto's taijutsu is deadly and precise. There is no wasted effort, no wasted moves. Everything is made to be a beautifully perfect fighting style for Mikoto. Rhythm and tempo are the bases for his taijutsu style. He always tries to imitate a song playing inside his head as he fights, trying to match the timings of his strikes and the timing to avoid and counter-attack. Thanks to his being knowledgeable about several types of music, it is easy for him to change gears in the blink of an eye. He tends to use bojutsu, a fighting style through the use of a staff, when he thinks taijutsu is no longer enough to defeat someone. He usually combines bojutsu with ninjutsu to make an even more lethal style. He is more of a physical fighter rather than using ninjutsu and genjutsu. His ninjutsu acts more as a support for his fighting style and he tries to avoid using genjutsu, mainly because it isn't his best subject. His ninjutsu focuses on the use of water as a high speed waterjet to cut through things. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Doesn't have one. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Water Release: High Speed Jet B rank techniques: Water Release: Water Beast Water Release: Hiding in Water Technique C rank techniques: Water Release: Water Gun Water Release: Water Whip Water Clone Technique D-E rank techniques: All basic Academy E ones. 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Water Release: High Speed Jet Rank: A Range: Short Range, can only be use in hand-to-hand combat. Description: The user releases a high speed stream of water from their finger tips and envelops both of their hands in a water jet that can cut through just about anything. This technique, however, is as harmful to the user as it is to their opponent, and can only be used once in a fight to avoid further damage to their hands and/or weapons. Depending of the Chakra output of the user, this move becomes more powerful and becomes able to cut through harder materials. How much the chakra is being used also determines how long this jutsu can last. At minimum output, the Jutsu can cut through wood easily and can last about an hour (6 posts) without damaging the user's skin. In a weapon, it can last for a complete hour (6 posts) before it starts eating away at the materials of the weapon. At medium output, the jutsu can cut through bone, rock and even iron. The user can mantain it for 15 (3 posts) minutes without major damage to their hands. In a weapon, it can last for 30 minutes (4 posts). At maximum output, the jutsu can cut through just about any kind of metal standing in its way, though it won't be able to cut through chakra enhanced weapons, diamonds or crystal release jutsus. In the user's hands, it can only last for a minute (1 post) before there is major damage and in a weapon it can last for 5 minutes (2 posts) before it destroys the weapon completely. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon Name: Sonatta Weapon, tool or object type: Staff Description: A large white and black staff that is about the same height as Mikoto himself. It is made out of wood and has two metal plates at both of its ends, so it can withstand Mikoto's High Speed Jet Jutsu. “Yeah, I am that guy's sister. No, I won't get you a date with him. Why? Because he doesn't freakin' like dudes!” Standing at a not even surprising 1.64 meters and a rather slim and flimsy frame, it is Amatsurahashi Kanata. Like her brother, she has fiery red hair and blue eyes, but neither of them are as well cared for as his. In fact, her brother likes to point out the split ends her hair might have. Her hair is long and usually kept in a pair of twintails that reach her waist. Her blue eyes are big and have been called cute several times, by relatives and her mother, mainly. Her fair skin does have some cream put into it but not the ungodly amounts her brother uses. Like other men, she fears she might catch fire if she imitates her brother. Her frame is slim but well trained, as expected of any shinobi. The problem lies in her chest, something she has a strong complex about and what often makes others confuse her for a boy (given how her brother is). A teenager who'd like to put as much attention on her appearance as her homo brother, Amatsurahashi Kanata. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Amatsurahashi Kanata 【Alias】 Little Sister 【Affiliation】 Undecided 【Age】 16 【Sex】 Female 【Sexuality】 Straight 【Birthplace】 Kirigakure 【Bloodline】 Amatsurahashi 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Unlike her brother who has 'shit for brains', Kanata is a lot more normal than her egocentric and metrosexual brother, if a lot more tomboyish than your regular kunoichi. But let's be honest here, what screams femininity more than a girl in a tight suit jumping around and throwing sharp things at others? Foul-mouthed by nature, full of hormones thanks to her age and Kanata's short fuse make her an adorable pack of emotions, insults, bad words and sarcasm all in one. She's known for not holding anything back, and this has gotten her in a lot more of problems than she's ever wanted to have. Her tongue moves faster than her brain can catch up, hurling insults at people she shouldn't piss off. She depends a lot on her brother Mikoto to get her out of such situations. An idiot by birth not by choice, Kanata has found herself in more than one tight spot both in school and in the streets. She often comments on how life wouldn't be as exciting if she didn't get in as much problems as she does, though. Add to all of this the fact that she has several complexes about her body and life and it just makes her the perfect adolescent with attitude problems. She just needs to run away and the pack should be complete. Among her several complexes, she's got a complex about her chest and an inferiority complex towards her brother. Don't try to mention her height or call her a boy either. Overall, Kanata is a short-tempered idiot with a big mouth AND some ability as a ninja. At least she knows how to fight AND when she should just run for it instead of fighting. "Live to fight another day. Those idiots will never catch me anyway, not with mighty homo Mikoto watching my back." 【History】 Unlike her brother, Kanata was largely ignored in her school years, all the way from elementary school it was just a big whole of... nothing. Have you ever seen your graduation photo and noticed a guy that is there but you never actually saw? If not, that's what several people thought after getting their graduation photo and finally noticing Kanata. Everyone expected big things from Amatsurahashi Mikoto's sister, only to be let down by the extremely pragmatic and sarcastic Kanata. Her existence mostly went unnoticed until she finally became a Chuunin. Pairing up with her brother and going out in missions made them a deadly combo. Finally, people started noticing Kanata and she wasn't sure of whether this was a good or bad thing. Well, she never really did have a lack of friends, she just was in that small group that mostly went unnoticed by others. Later she determined that it was bad. Real bad. They all came to her with words like 'Oh, did Mikoto have a sister? Never knew.' or 'Wow, to think you could actually do something!'. What came after those comments was most definitely not pretty. Having gained a bad reputation this time around, people started to actually avoid her. Well, her fame was short lived, and it was good that it was. 【Family ties】 Kanata's father died before she was born, so she only has her older brother and mother to rely on. While she is fond of and loves the two of them, she does find them, Mikoto specially, annoying. Amatsurahashi Haruka \| Mother \| 42, Kirigakure, Retired Shinobi Amatsurahashi Mikoto \| Brother \| 20, Kirigakure, Shinobi, Part of the Red Sages, "Full time homo" 【Dreams and fears】 She dreams of one day surpassing her ever so perfect and beautiful brother, or at the very least shake off the feeling of inferiority she feels towards him. Her biggest fear is not being able to go to the next One Direction concert living in the shadow of her brother. Also to be noted, she is scared witless of Mikoto's imminent death if he keeps doing dangerous things. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Never to shine herself but to give others the opportunity to shine, Kanata's fighting style is a purely supportive one. She can indeed defend herself in hand to hand combat, yes, but her true talent comes out when she is fighting alongside someone else. Her specialty are ninjutsu and genjutsu used to support a more aggressive battle style like her brother's. She intends to stall, hinder and trip her opponents at every step they give. Even if they are about to hit their mark, she'll make sure that what they hit is nothing more but an illusion she's made. Cunning and brains, not muscles and... more muscles, are what make her a formidable fighter. She uses water release, but unlike her brother, she uses mist and barriers to hinder her opponents. Her taijutsu is the weakest part of her fighting style as a whole. She can easily be overpowered by any opponent with more experience in hand to hand combat or otherwise. Her taijutsu is focused on the use of her legs, since her arms are more like sticks. She uses a combination of muay thai and tae kwon do to keep opponents at bay while she uses her hands to prepare her next jutsu. Kanata also tends to use submission holds against opponents bigger than her, in order to keep them from moving and to give herself more time to cast her next jutsu. Thanks to her being bad at taijutsu, she carries even more kunais than the average shinobi. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Thank God I don't need to fill this longass form 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Water Release: Water Heavens Convergence B rank techniques: Water Release: Water Formation Pillar Water Release: Water Beast Illysionary Mist C rank techniques: Water Prison Technique Water Release: Water Gun Water Clone Technique Water Release: Enveloping Mist D-E rank techniques: Hidden In Mist Technique 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Water Release: Enveloping Mist Rank: C Range: Large, it covers an area of 30 meters around the user. Description: The user, Kanata, releases mist from the tip of her fingers that envelops a wide are around her. It does nothing more, nothing less. Once the mist is out of Kanata, it does not take any chakra for her to mantain it. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Kunais. Lots and lots of them. Weapon, tool or object type: Throwing Kunai Description: Simple kunais in ungodly quantities. Makes you wonder where the hell is she hiding so many of them. “Calm yourself. I mean you no harm. ... Your heartbeat is starting to calm down. Good.” An intimidating man standing at 1.80 meters and a man of nerves made out of steel, Kisaragi Anzai. He's got short and spiky black hair falling right over his face. He uses a headband at the top of his forehead to not let it rub against his face, since he is pretty sensitive. Anzai's skin is dark brown, making for a perfect example of the trademark Kumogakure ethnicity. He's got gray eyes, but he always keeps his eyes shut. Unlike many cliché anime characters, Anzai actually keeps his own eyes shut because he is blind. His physique is quite buff and muscular, something that affects his diet quite a lot since he needs to eat a lot more than your regular shinobi. Despite his physique and Kekkei Genkai, Anzai keeps always keeps a cane by his side.

Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Kisaragi Anzai 【Alias】 The Blind Assassin, Anzu 【Affiliation】 Red Sages 【Age】 25 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Asexual/Bi-romantic (think I saw someone use the word hetero-romantic somewhere, so I'm borrowing the idea) 【Birthplace】 Kumogakure 【Bloodline】 Kisaragi 【Rank】 Jounin -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Calm and stoic are the words that best define Anzai. He's lived his life having to take calm and well-thought steps due to his blindness. It gives you more time to think, in a way. Everything he does is well-thought and meditated, even his jokes, which tend to be overlooked because of his monotone tone of voice. Because of his legendary calmness and his habit of meditation, many often believe that Anzai is, in fact, sleeping. He has fallen asleep while meditating if we are being completely honest, but it is a rare occurrence indeed. Once, someone stepped over him while sleeping. Anzai is really prideful, despite his usual cool demeanor. Offering to help him go down the stairs or other friendly offers for help upset him greatly and, despite not losing his cool demeanor, you'll find yourself threatened by that same calm nature. In a nutshell, feeling pity for him can really work against you. "Even as I am blind, I can see far more than you." His mannerisms and calmness often lead others to believe that he is expressionless, or worse, emotionless. This is most certainly not true, but Anzai does manage to keep his emotions in check most of the time. This is because he understands and accepts all of his emotions, which has also made him able to tell a person's mood through the tone of their voice or what they are feeling through the beat of their heart. These two abilities, though, are rendered useless in battle as he cannot focus his hearing solely in his opponent, otherwise he'd feel he's leaving himself open. As with everything else, Anzai tends to keep calm and stoic even in the most heated of situations, making him both an intimidating and terrifying foe. 【History】 The long line of Katsuragi shinobi felt that its long tradition of warriors had come to an end when they discovered that Anzai, next in line to become the head of the small clan, was born blind. Not having sight, an almost indispensable tool in the trade of being a ninja. They thought all was lost were it not for what they noticed later. The boy could indeed see and his 'sight' could reach even further than their own. The Kekkei Genkai of the Kisaragi allows them to feel electric currents, but only when thrown in a jutsu, making it a highly defensive type of Kekkei Genkai that could only protect them against an specific type of jutsu. Anzai's blindness took it a step further. Anzai could actually sense the small electrical charges carried by electrons, and that permitted him to make an image inside of his head of what things would look like if he could see, and what made it better was the fact that his 'vision' covered a whole 360 around him. It was blurry at first, of course. Untrained and instinctive, the Kisaragi could not pass up on such an opportunity. Regardless of his shortcomings when he first started training, the Kisaragi finally were able to make an specially deadly and stoic shinobi out of Anzai, who could now see clearly after refining the use fo his Kekkei Genkai. Once he got clearance to become a Jounin, however, what followed were years full of frustration. Everyone looked down on him because of his blidness. They wouldn't allow him to participate in missions, and he would remain mediocre because the Confederation frowned upon physical demonstrations of power, at least between their own armies. The last straw was when his commander called him weak, and that he couldn't kill him even if he were sleeping. Making a live demonstration, Anzai went to the Red Sages dragging his commander's body by the neck. The commander was known to be a powerful but arrogant commander that had been hindering several of the operations of the Red Sages. He hoped that such a demonstration would be enough for the Red Sages to acknowledge his potential. Thankfully for them, they did. 【Family ties】 Anzai's family is filled with strong warriors, warriors that would risk their lives at the beck and call of their masters. So was the case with both of Anzai's parents, who died while he was still training. His only remaining (close) family is his grandfather. Kisaragi Youtsugi \| Grandfather \| 81, Kumogakure, Old fart too proud to retire from being a shinobi. 【Dreams and fears】 Anzai dreams of making his a powerful clan, one rivaling the Uchiha or the Hyuuga. Despite not seeing (pun intended) the allure of the intercourse, Anzai does wish to have an heir who inherits both his powerful Kekkei Genkai and blindness, horrible as it may sound. He thinks of himself as the next step towards greatness for his clan. An improvement over those before him and the true potential of their Kekkei Genkai. His biggest fear, though odd but logical considering his personality, is to be able to see with his eyes. He feels he'll lose his powerful KG if he sudeenly becomes able to see. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 A dojutsu without eyes. So many have described Anzai's battle style. His genjutsu skills are non-existant, perhaps because he cannot see in the traditional way, but his lack of skill in genjutsu is compensated by his skill in ninjutsu and kenjutsu. He keeps his sword concealed inside the cane he always carries with himself. His fighting style is one that prioritizes domination over the battlefield. If people ambush him, then he'll keep everyone at a safe distance through the use of his ninjutsu, and then engage each of them with his sword and finish them quickly. He's been called the Blind Assassin because he always aims to end his fights quickly, before his opponent can catch up on the several weaknesses of his Kekkei Genkai. If he is overwhelmed or has spent too much in a fight, he tends to retire as quick as possible and fight another day, despite his prideful personality. He is dead set on not letting anyone know of the weaknesses of his abilities, and will surely kill anyone who catches on on them. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Denkaku (電覚) Description: The Kisaragi KG allows the clansmen to sense strong currents of electricity, like those produced from a Lightning Release ninjutsu. Anzai's lack of sight, however, makes this ability extremely powerful, and allows him to sense even the small electrons that are around almost every atom, which allows him to make complete 360 images in a range of 10 meters around him. The KG also allows the Kisaragi to use an special type of ninjutsu because of the constant electric wave that surrounds them. Anzai's is neither stronger nor weaker than those before him. Strengths: Allows Anzai to make 360 images of the terrain he is in. Can dodge Lightning release ninjutsu easily thanks to being able to detect them from wherever they are coming. Due to the excited atoms of a hot body, Anzai can also sense Fire Release rather clearly and can sense even more clearly any individual with a high body temperature. Anzai can become a walking stungun by amplifying the electric wave going around him. If extremely concentrated and in only one individual, Anzai can predict their next attacks by seeing the electricity running through their muscles as they move. This, however, makes him blind to any other thing happening in his surroundings. Weaknesses: Being hit by Wind Release, the usual weakness of Lightning release, can either make his vision blurry or blind him completely, if the jutsu is strong enough(B jutsus and stronger). He cannot sense Ice Release or any body at Absolute Zero temperature. (Not necessarily a shinobi, could also be metal). Due to the lack of electrons in their atoms, Anzai can't sense gases either. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Lightning Release: Depht Charge Lightning Release: Walking Stungun B rank techniques: Lightning Release: False Darkness Lightning Release: Lightning Trap C rank techniques: Lightning Release Wall Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder D-E rank techniques: None worth mentioning. 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Lightning Release: Walking Stungun Rank: A Range: Short Range Description: Using Lightning Release, Anzai supercharges his nervous system after amplifying the natural electric wave surrounding his body and reversing it inside, but unlike A's Lightning Chakra mode, Anzai does not enhance his physical capabilities. The electricity surrounding Anzai also becomes visible to any of his enemies as small lightning courses his arms, chest and legs. Touching Anzai while doing this will result in an extremely painful and stunning electric shock, that renders taijutsu useless against him. While this does not actually hurt Anzai, it does leave him paralyzed for a long while afterwards, so he does not use it that often. The longest he can keep this technique activated is for 5 posts. Anzai theorizes that if his whole body was sedated and his mind wasn't, he could use this technique to move. He hasn't had the opportunity to prove this theory, though, and the fact that he still needs to make the hand seals makes it... kind of pointless. Jutsu name: Lightning Blade: Heaven Piercing Lunge Rank: S Range: Short to Mid Range Description: Anzai thrusts his weapon forward and, much like like the Chidori Katana of Sasuke, creates a highly condensated flow of Lightning release chakra with a range of 10 meters. Though it does not chirp loudly like the Chidori Katana, there is indeed a low, cracking sound that warns of its arrival, not to mention that when it hits, it makes the same sound as a thunder striking the ground as all of the compacted energy dissipates after hitting its target. It is compact and quite small, and its range falls short to other jutsu, but it is a jutsu that can pierce through mostly anything, unless faced with a weapon with flowing Lightning Release chakra or Air Release chakra. Thanks to Anzai's detection and skill, he can make the attack change its course as he wants, though not as many times as he'd like. After moving it three times, the jutsu disappears. Though extremely lethal as it can pierce easily through someone's head or ribcage in an attempt to kill Anzai's enemies, it really depends a lot of where it hits. Jutsu name: Lightning Release: Lightning Spread Rank: C Range: Long Range Description: A variation of the Electromagnetic Murder jutsu. Putting both of his hands on the ground, Anzai releases lightning in a range of 20 meters to keep his opponents away. Jutsu name: Lightning Release Wall Rank: C Range: Short to Mid Range Description: Using Lightning Release, Anzai erects (( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)) a wall with a maximum range of 10 meters, that can be extended to 20 if he places seals to help him keep it up. The wall is made up of violent electric bolts, making it harmful for anyone trying to get past it, whether they want to enter it or exit it. It doesn't seem to affect Lightning Release users as much, though. The only way to dispel it is to either defeat Anzai or, if it is being used at mid range, to take off the seals previously placed by Anzai. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Silent Death Weapon, tool or object type: Sword Cane Description: A sword hidden inside a cane that would otherwise be used to aid his walking. How it looks
51,183	1,381	90	800	3,846	Chokurou Akimichi, Confederate Conference He had gotten comfortable against his wall by the entrance when someone, who seemed to be the last to make it in the door had shown up. He sighed and made room for him as he looked back down at the group of ninja and kunoichi that had gathered for the speech and soon enough it began. The cat-like thing seem to know how to get most people to listen despite that it sounded like something one would see in a movie but he was right. There had been peace for awhile and now with the Red Sages it seemed to change. He would nod his head to certain things he agreed with and others just listen in. But for Cho it didn't really last long. Chokurou listened in for a little bit to what the...thing, had to say until a certain point where he just gave up. "I swear I have never heard anyone say "fuck" as much as that thing and to top it off it's voice was like a cat was being strangled...no pun intended." He leaned forward as he placed his foot back on the ground and stretched a bit before turning to face him. "Akimichi Chokurou, it's a pleasure to meet you." He gave a light bow before leaning back up. He would give the man a chance to respond before his focuse would then move towards those that had begun to leave, his eyes flickering over those leaving the door nearest the two of them. He sighed and looked back over at the man. "Guess we got a lot of nothing to do now, huh?"	"Oh yeah. Teriyaki beef with broccoli and rice. Nice snack after a hard workout.” Being of Akimichi descent it is no surprise that his has an above average frame. Cho stands at around 1.97 meters and 145 kg. Unlike most "fatties" however, Cho's weight is distributed fairly equally with the only difference is having slightly more weight in the front. Starting from his head he has short light brown hair along the sides and back, almost like a fade, with much more on top that he likes to comb back. His eyes are of a medium shade of brown. Around his mouth is a small stubble of a goatee that is usually well kept and neat. As most Akimichi, Cho adorns the traditional war paint. For him it is a red bar that goes from his chin to his lower lip and two bars on both sides of his eyes that run to the sides of his cheekbones and down. He usually wears black sandals and grey combat pants, rolled and taped near the top of the sandal. On the upper torso he adorns a long blue sleeve shirt with a mesh undershirt. A grey trench coat is worn over the long sleeve shirt and resembles that of what Chouji Akimichi wore. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Akimichi Chokurou 【Alias】 Cho-san, Kurou-san 【Affiliation】 Currently undecided. 【Age】 21 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Heterosexual 【Birthplace】 Konohagakure 【Bloodline】 Akimichi 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 When he was young he was short tempered and quick to fight but now, Chokurou is a polite, playful and proud member of the Akimichi clan as he is usually seen helping in some way with the Akimichi affairs whether showing hospitality for the leaders of other clans when they visit or something as simple as helping family train. Unlike his cousin, Chokashi, who is usually seen as the more social one of the two, Chokurou is more on the reserved side in social settings, tending to let others start the conversation before speaking up. Despite his reserved personality, he is quick with his wit and that only adds to his charm. He doesn't usually say no to helping a friend unless there is something important going on in the Akimichi compound. Chokurou on his days off can usually be found at the Akimichi training grounds, the hot springs in the area or any of the hibachi in the area. Chokurou usually wears a smile on his face and has a somewhat loose posture when in a calm setting or situation such as being with friends and whatnot. He can be a bit of a drinker and this is thanks to Chokashi on Chokurou's 20th birthday when he went shot for shot with his cousin which landed hem both on their asses. Usually when drinking with friends he is a bit more talkative thanks to the obvious fact that liquor is involved but it's when he's drunk that he is more unpredictable. Chokurou tends to tense in more stressful situations but mostly can only be seen in his eyes since they are the first to show signs that he is worried, annoyed or angry, falling back onto a smile when angered. His views of the confederation and the Red Sages are usually kept to himself. When he went into the academy school he was aware that he would be working for the Confederation but the Akimichi, including Chokurou, and the Nara clans could care less about confederation and rather the safety of Konohagakure. If they are called upon they will fight for the Confederation but their concerns will mostly be for Konaha. 【History】 The story for a lot of those in the Akimichi clan are similar in their early years, revolving around being teased for their weight and whatnot and for Chokurou it was no different. His mother always taught him that he was to respect others in order to be respected but kids are kids and they don't usually listen and as such Chokurou never hesitated in fighting back, especially those who disrespected him or his family. This mindset of "hit first ask questions later" would cause problems in the academy even though physical training included sparring it didn't include sending kids to the hospital. Cho would come home to find his parents talking to the academy teacher about his behavior and would be immediately punished and sent to the training grounds to train for X amount of hours until his father felt he was ready or told to help out around the compound on the weekends when his friend, a young Nara, would be available to hangout. Many would think that his punishment was a bit too extreme but the Akimichi never strayed from the old ways as far as training went. Monitored by his cousin, Chokashi, he would learn from his cousin how to fight his way. Chokashi told him "So what if your fat or your mother and father are? Why do the Inuzuka have dog features or why does the Aburame Clan hide their faces? Because that's what makes them who they are. Don't forget that." Years would go on with this running through Cho's head as he slowly started to incorporate this into his mindset. The first few times after Chokashi talked with him he didn't get it until he started to take notice to the different clans and saw the similarities that Chokashi had told him. Slowly he started to except who he was and no longer let this bother him. By graduation he had already seen close to 60 fights and the fights stopped closer to graduation. After graduation and he was placed in a team, he increased his training with his cousin and his father while beginning to learn what he would do within the clan. Time would go by and Chokurou would become much more involved with the clan's affairs so time with friends would lessen or become rather dull due to his mind focusing more-so on what was happening politically with the Akimichi, specifically to the recent happenings between the Red Sages and the Confederation. He still has the mindset of remaining neutral in the whole matter but he knows he has to do what konaha asks of him. 【Family ties】 The Akimichi are a close nit, traditional family, usually taking care of one another first before moving out towards the community, minus the Hokage or whoever was in charge at the time. Usually politics and such remain in the compound unless the clan leader says otherwise. The clan has not currently come up with a concrete decision on which side they stand for between the Red Sages and the Confederation but have opted for the answer of protecting the citizens of Konohagakurefrom anything that may put them in danger. Besides that the Akimichi clan has, after 200 years, maintained their relations with both the Nara Clan and the Yamanaka Can. Chokashi Akimichi \| Cousin (Surrogate Brother) \| 30, Akimichi Compound (Konohagakure), Jonin. Chokashi considers Chokurou as his "little brother" and has taught him what he knows as far as combat especially the Buddhist Palm and helped break him from his wall flower attitude. Choujiro Akimichi \| Father \| 51, Akimichi Compound (Konohagakure), Jonin and Advisor to Clan Leader. Chizuzu Akimichi \| Mother \| 48, Akimichi Compound (Konohagakure), Cooking Ninja and took him how to cook for friends and family as well as taking pride in his work. 【Dreams and fears】 He wants to be not the best ninja or whatever but rather a member of the ANBU Black Ops with the codename "Bear". But everyone can have dreams. He fears another great war like the one Naruto and Chouji and the great eleven had to deal with. Losing friends and family in that way would be his worst fear. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Chokurou is quite the powerhouse thanks to the training his father and cousin put him through. He is able to take a beating and continue forwards while providing heavy blows and powerful jutsu. He has no problem getting close and starting a grappling game or staying back and on the defensive. Cho's signature, much like his cousin, is the Buddhist palm, a powerful jutsu that can be used directly or at a distance and can be combined with a few of the Akimichi secret jutsu as well. His stance is basic with left hand open while his right remains closed. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: N/A B rank techniques: Chōharite Baika no Jutsu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu C rank techniques: Bubun Baika no Jutsu Doton: Moguragakure no Jutsu Nikudan Sensha D-E rank techniques: Knows basic academy Jutsu 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Akimichi Style: Buddhist Palm Rank: A Range: Touch - 17 meters (pending chakra imput) Description: How it is made: Chakra is concentrated in the palm of the hand and condensed to a fine point. Once it is at the users liking, it is forcibly released from the palm outwards in a cone like shape. From max distance it is enough to knock back an opponent and cause loss of breath. Half the max distance has enough force to knock back single or multiple targets a few meters with a chance to cause disorientation and/or loss of hearing. Direct impact and up to 1.8 meters is enough to shatter bones, rupture organs, cause brain damage or death but once again this also depends on the amount of chakra used and its density. Appearance: When forming it gives off a light golden hue before turning into a bright gold at the center of the palm. It can also turn to a whitish-gold but this is mostly at a higher level of mastery that Cho has not reached yet. When released, a quick flash of white followed by a dark gold cone-like beam is shot outward, enveloping those in its path. Sound: When forming, it's sound is relatable to that of a group of monks meditating (humming or whatever it's called) and then when released, sounds very similar to multiple gongs being hit in unison. Weakness: Like the Akimichi human boulder technique, it is limited in direction as it is a linear attack. Also thanks to how powerful the attack is. It is very taxing on the user's chakra, allowing the use of this move limited to a few times. For Cho, 4 times is max before chakra exhaustion. The best way to negate this attack is with any high powered wind attacks. 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Earth Style: Terra Vice Rank: C Range: Up to 17 meters Description: Chakra is gathered into the users hand and then thrust into the ground. The chakra disperses throughout the ground. Once the target is in range. Earth is infused with the chakra and juts out of the ground in the form of what can be described as a bear-trap like vise. The snap of the jaw like rock is enough to strain and muscles, pending if the target is trapped and struggles to free themselves. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Three Coloured Pills (Sanshoku no Gan'yaku). Weapon, tool or object type: Tool: Pills Description: The Three Coloured Pills are secret medicines used by the Akimichi clan. As the name suggests, there are three pills, each with a different colour. First is the green Spinach Pill (Hōrengan), next is the yellow Curry Pill (Karēgan), and last is the red Chilli Pill (Tongarashigan). By forcibly converting the body's fat reserves into chakra, each successive pill ingested gives a tremendous power boost. The Chilli Pill is even said to increase one's power a hundred times. However, the pills have a drawback. Each pill damages the body, poisoning it and since the third pill converts all of one's fat reserves, the user will become dangerously emaciated. It is said that after the third pill, death is imminent. However the Nara Clan has done extensive research on the pills since the Fourth Shinobi War and have lessened the negative effects of the first two pills and have managed to lower the risk of death in the third pill by 20%. Still, this doesn't change the fact that the colored pills are still dangerous as the first two still have the negative drawbacks as they did in the past even if it has been decreased. The first pill can last about 5-6 posts and the second can 2-3 posts. However, because the chili pepper is so potent, it can only last 1-2 posts. Weapon, tool or object name: Hikaze Weapon, tool or object type: . Description: Size/Appearance: 180cm in height and 11cm in diameter. Both ends expand outwards to much larger cylinders, each approximately 20.32cm in diameter. Each side is engraved with one of the kanji for the elements. One side is engraved with "Fire" and the other side with "Wind" Make: Chakra infused materials and alloys that allow for flexibility and versatility as well as speed and damage capabilities by adding such natural affinities to the staff such as wind and fire (one at each end). Abilties: Chakra can be pumped into the Staff to provide a burst of fire at one end or a blast of wind on the other. Weapon, tool or object name: Kunai Weapon, tool or object type: Throwing Knife Description: Standard Konahagakure issued throwing knife. Weapon, tool or object name: Shuriken Weapon, tool or object type: Throwing Star Description: Standard Konahagakure issued throwing star. Weapon, tool or object name: Explosive Tags Weapon, tool or object type: Ninja Utility Description: Standard Konahagakure issued explosive tags. They are infused with chakra and on command will explode.
51,184	1,381	91	1,918	8,262	Tatsuya Kajiya-Terumi Sunagakure, Meeting Hall, Hamajo Confederate Fuck, for a guy whose main fighting style involves slapping people, fucker can throw a punch. Tatsuya thought as he sat by himself at the table, doing his best not to hold his aching jaw. While it hurt like a bitch and Tatsuya was quite sure that one or two of his back teeth had become quite wiggly afterwards, he had been expecting to get a chakra enhanced palm strike to his gut, so he thought he'd gotten lucky all things considered. Of course, now he had a definite enemy in Higoho, so that was a long term problem he'd have to deal with and confront eventually. Stupid fucking clone with the stupid fucking name had to insult the crowned prince of douchebaggery, as well as his whole clan of very influential people. Fucking hell, I hope that this doesn't backlash on dad's business. Tatsuya let out a hissing sigh, still cringing everytime he moved his mouth, ignoring some of the others in the room looking at the big fat bruise on his jaw that was slowing beginning to take form. Most probably though he got it in the fighting, and as long as nobody asked, he'd let them continue to think as such. The cat had also begun it's speech, and it was a rather rousing one, he had to admit. Short, crude, and straight to the point, it served it's purpose and the source of it's delivery was so odd in it's manner that it gave the entire monologuema weird charisma to it. Tatsuya himself might've gotten caught up in the throws of patriotism as well, except for one tiny detail. He had a friend amongst the Red Sages, and a dear one at that. He very much doubted he'd be half the shinobi he was today if not for her, and the day he discovered her true allegiance was one of the worst in his life. He was stricken with fear at the thought of her being discovered, or worse yet, meeting her on the battlefield. He could never strike down a friend, and he'd like to think the same would apply to her, but if he didn't . . . what would happen to his family. Would they be suspected and interogated because of a plausible connection with the rebel forces through him. That and other such questions had plagued his mind for quite sometime, and yet, he foolishly thought that the day he'd have to face such a choice would never come. And while it still had yet to place itself before him, he could now feel the weight of it on his shoulders. They were at war now, and he was in a very compromising position. Actually, he'd always been in this position, it was just now that he was becoming aware of it. Well . . . this day is fucking perfect . . . hell, when was the last time I even saw Naomi-san? I wonder if she was apart of today's attack as well, killing other Confederates, people who are supposed to be my allies . . . fucking hell, why do things have to be so damn complicated!?!? Can't anything be fucking simple in this piece of shit world?!?! Needless to say, the speech left him feeling less then elated after the thing had finished it's speech, and was quick to do as it said and walk out the door. He wasn't paying any attention to where he was going or who was in his way, he just focused on moving one foot after the other, not wanting to let his thoughts linger on anything right now. "Well . . . ain't this the cherry on a big ol' 'Fuck-my Life' sundae. I must've have really fucked people over in a past life. That, or Kami just loves to watch me suffer."Tatsuya let out a sigh as he ran a hand through his hair, the pain in his jaw only adding to the overall sourness of his mood. Akio Tendou Sunagakure, Meeting Hall, Hamajo Confederate I hate to compliment that vulgar shit on anything, but I have to admit that they know how to keep things to the point. Now if only it coukd work on being a genuine Psychopathic bastard, and who knows, might even get some respect not based on people pissing their pants when they walk by. Akio thought as she took a small sip from her flask, enjoying the acrid sting of Sunagakure brandy as it made it's way down her throat. She continued to take this sip for another second or two, then regretfully let it part from her lips as she put the cap back on. Normally, she would avoid drinking at meetings as she was still techinically on the job, but today was a special occassion. Why? Because, as far as she was concerned, her fuck-up at not being able to stop that Silver haired bitch from killing the general of the 11th Corps had thrust them all into a full on war with the Red Sages. While she knew that this war would happen eventually, she'd never thought it be on her watch. She looked around the room as Yakoul spoke, taking in all the young faces she saw before her. How many, she wondered, would actually survive the coming conflict. And how many pieces would they be in by the end of it. Because of her, they'd be exposed to true hell on earth, having to see friends, family, and comrades die in who knows how many brutal and painful ways. Given the nature of this war, some would even have to kill the ones they love because they lie on opposite dudes of the battle lines. War was coming, and who knows how many lives it would destroy once it arrived in full. And with that sobering thought, here's a little more brandy. She thought with a sigh, pouring more of the mind-numbing nectar down her throat. As she looked around from her place in the corner of the room, partially hidden in shadow, she couldn't help but feel her eyes drift over to Aoi. A million words bubbled into her head, a thousand actions she wanted to perform, but instead of freeing her from inhibition, the dull burn of alcohol in her gut held her back. What could she say to her former lover that wouldn't just come off as weak or pathetic. She'd pushed her away long ago, and she'd been able to move on with her life just fine without her. She had become a person of importance and influence, while Akio, on the other hand, had become a depressive expendable with a drinking problem and no real reason for living except her work. She was a failure in every since of the word, and Aoi's success only seemed up intensify the feeling. Look at her. . . She's famous, beautiful, adored by thousands, and has risen to a position of high influence. She was always better on her own. . . I was just holding her back. If I go to her now it'd only be bringing up memories and feelings that have no chance of coming back. Just because I can't move on doesn't mean I should try and drag her back with me. It was at this moment that Akio caught herself staring at Aoi, and while her face was an impartial mask, that had never managed to fool the harlequin before. Whether Aoi had turned to look back or not, Akio would cooly look away, taking another swig from her flask before making her way for an exit. The world was shifting ever so slightly as the alcohol began to effect her head, but her gait was stable enough to give the illusion that she wasn't as buzzed as she really was. She had no idea where she was going, and honestly didn't care as it was away from here.	Name: Katon: Phoenix Egg Bomb(Subject to change) Rank: A Range: Mid Description: After making the needed hand seals, Akio conjures up a concentrated inferno of blazing heat, focusing it over her palm. It'll take a post for this jutsu to charge up, but when it does the flames will take on a egg-like shape as Akio thrusts her hand out to launch it at her foes. Upon impact with an object, the egg will explode with a huge amount of force and intense white hot heat. The radius of the explosion would be somewhere between 5-10m, though the intense heat can be felt from much farther away, burning skin, drying up moisture in the air, and causing fatigue through dehydration if an enemy is caught near the edge of the blast. The explosion itself takes the form of a phoenix rising high into the sky. The flames that the explosion created will stay for about 2 posts, however, the heat lessening by a great deal until it finally fizzes out. At this point, Aoi can use this jutsu with little strain, upping her usage to about 6 times before it starts to take it's toll. Seiteki Suji no Jutsu (Static Strings Technique) Rank:D Description: This skill allows the user to create strings of electricity that can either act physically as strings, or as a medium that can send small shocks to an opponent. One of this technique's most useful features is its ability to allow the user to detect outsiders. When the strings are placed around an area, they are often fairly difficult to see, and unnoticed by the quick eye. But when the string is used to detect outsiders, they can adapt a quality that is string-like and electrical at the same time. This quality makes the static strings into a string of electricity, but with such a weak current that it is rarely noticed by Shinobi who accidentally walk through the strings. However, when this happens, the user at once will feel a small shock in their fingers, or where ever else they are keeping the strings intact. But unless the opponent felt the weak current as they walked through the strings, the opponent will usually never know the strings were there. But beyond its ability to detect outsiders, this skill can be used as a normal string when it is needed but none is around, or it can be used to create small shocks to other people. However, the shocks are only a little bit stronger than static electricity, and usually do no damage at all. Jutsu Name: Raiton: Thunder Bow Rank B Range Mid to Long Can be fired at a target up to a 100m away Description: Akio forms a bow out of lightning chakra, from which she can draw back and fire bolts of electricity from, the amount of power dealt depending on how long she holds it for. A quick draw only does a low-medium amount of damage and has no lingering effects. A Charged shot, which takes about 1 post to form up, does a fair deal more damage and will leave the target temporarily stunned if direct contact is made. The charged shot can also be split into four homing shots, which'll lock onto the opponents chakra signature. These only do slightly more damage than a quick shot on their own, but if all three hit the same target, then the damage can be even greater than a charged shot and can explode out to damage foes within a meter of the target. Akio can now fire a detonation shot with a charged up bolt, which is less powerful overall, but can paralyze a whole group of individual for a few moments. She can also create a piercing shot, which has more focused electrical energy for more power and damage, but has reduced ranged as well, only being able to go about half as far as a normal charged shot. The piercing shot can pierce through most standards armors and defensive jutsu of equal rank or lower, not including elemental weakness into play, in which it can probably partially get through lower A-rank Earth Style Jutsu and be halted by upper C rank Wind Style jutsu. Static strings can be attached to the quick fire shots, so that if they hit, the user can hold the foe in place by running a constant stream of electricity through it, locking her muscles in place. If this is done, neither Akio nor the target can move so it's not a good move for one on one, but good for lining up holding an enemy in place for another teammate to take down. Edit: Through training, Akio has managed to work down the weakness of her static strings down so that only one of her limbs is paralyzed and not her whole body, meaning that she won't be able to form jutsu while holding a foe down, but she can still move, dodge attacks, and counterattack reasonable well, though she still has to be able to keep some focus on the connection while moving, or else it'll break, thus she won't be able to move as fast as she normally could. Katon: Myaku Hitofuki no Jutsu (Fire Release: Pulse Blast Technique) Rank: B Range: Close to Mid Description: An extremely useful jutsu, this one has the effect of flushing out or separating multiple opponents. Hurling a fireball about the size of a basketball, it is meant to be dodged in order to be effective. For at center of this fireball is a gaseous core which, when the spherical attack finally makes contact with something, will explode and this gas will expand rapidly in a loud bang. The bang is simply a precursor though, as instantly afterwards a sharp concussive force will issue out all around the center of the blast. Though the explosion of the attack itself is not very strong, the force it sends out is enough to knock anyone who is within a certain radius of it flying. Katon: Kudakasei no Jutsu (Fire Release: Shatter Force Technique) Rank: A Range: Close Range technique, with the base diameter of the blast radius being around 5 meters Description: Built upon the principles of Katon: Myaku Hitofuki no Jutsu, this technique instead acts as a much more powerful, centralized version. Gathering heat in between both hands the user focuses it until it cannot be condensed further. Manifested as a sphere of raw, glowing energy it is at first held at bay as if only for show. Then, given any cue, the user slams the sphere into the ground, causing it to explode with the power of pure heat behind it. The user is unaffected by this burst of power, but anyone within the radius of the blast suffers some unsettling consequences alongside the devastating concussive force it sends forth. This technique, by sheer strength alone, has even been known to crack boulders. Separate effects of the jutsu are that the intense heat dehydrates any opponents caught within the radius of the blast, drawing them closer to fatigue, blurring their vision and causing mild headaches all the while. Minor, first-degree burns may also result from this technique. Jutsu Name: Raiton: Raikou Hitofuki no Jutsu (Lightning Release: Lightning Blast Technique) Rank: C Range: Close to Mid Description: This jutsu allows the user to fire off a continuous blast of electrical energy at an opponent, causing only minor burns but a great deal of pain as it courses through the foes system. Jutsu Name: Raiton: Cloak of the Thundering Phoenix Rank: S Range: Self Description: A Variant of the Lightning Armor Jutsu, this jutsu cloaks the Akio in an intense aura of electricity that takes the form of phoenix around them. While under the influence of this jutsu, Akio's speed, reaction time, and physical attack power gains a substantial increase, though not to the level that is seen by users of the original technique, as well as boosting the power of her Raiton jutsu, thus negating the charge up of her more power Thunder bow attacks. She can also up her mobility on the battlefield by gliding and hovering in the air for short periods of times using the wings this jutsu gives her, though she has yet to achieve true flight using this technique. Finally, the wings can also be formed into a defensive wall at a moments notice, incase she's targeted by an attack she can't dodge, but they can only block a single attack of up to A-rank in power, and Wind Style jutsu of Mid A-rank and higher will always be able to partially get through these defenses. Once the attack has been blocked, the wings will disperse and Akio will spend the remainder of the jutsu's duration moving at a reduced speed compared to before, though still noticeably faster than her base speed, as well as no longer being able to hover or glide due to the loss of her wings. This jutsu duration is for about 6 posts, though it can be lengthened to up to 9 by feeding more chakra into it, though this worsens the drawback once the jutsu ends. After the base duration runs out, her entire body will become numb and cause her speed and reaction time to drop as a result. This lasts for about three posts, but if she lengthened it, it can lengthen to about 6 posts and only allows her to move at a third of her base speed. If she tries to go over that limit, though possible, it will result in her body becoming completely paralyzed, as well as the obvious threat of chakra exhaustion. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon: Shuriken Description: A basic tool every ninja should have, it can be lethal if it hits a vital spot, but they are also good in creating some space for the fighter. Tool: Chakra Pill Description: Weapon: Kunai Description: A basic tool every ninja should have, it's the only weapon Akio has when it comes to CQC fighting. Weapon: Tanto Description: A short, straight, single edged dagger that has no point and is used primarily for slashing attacks. Weapon: Ninja Wire Description: A strong metal wire that can be used in various ways. Weapon: Senbon Description: A precision tool that, despite it's low lethality, can be very effective in slowing down and paralyzing an opponent if they are placed in the right place. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 After the war and her break-up with Aoi, Akio has become a very emotionally withdrawn individual, focusing only on either training or her duties as a shinobi, and spending very little time socializing with others anymore. While she still has the sarcastic remark or joke ready whenever it's needed, she no longer talks with people in depth. If they try to get to know her personally, she'll either redirect the conversation away from herself or just shut down, not speaking another word until the person gets the message and leaves her alone. Along with this, Akio has developed a bit of a drinking habit, not a terrible one, but noticeable. She always tends to have one bottle of some form of liquor on her when not on a mission, and she can be a bit cranky at times on missions due to the fact that she can't drink while on the job, a self-imposed rule so that her habit never interferes with her work. On really bad days, however, one could find Akio totally hammered in her home, in which she becomes a depressive, self-loathing mess that is constantly asking people to comfort her and listen to her problems, as well as provide . . . other forms of relief. 【History】 Before the massacre, her life wasn't really that great as her father saw her as nothing as a mistake and an embarrassment for two reasons. The first is that she was a bastard child, a mark of shame on his honor as the Tendou family patriarch, though it was that same honor that duty bound him to take the child in, as her mother had died during childbirth. The second reason was that she was never good enough, and while she wasn't the most skilled of individuals, she was still rather good, some would say better than most. But it was never enough for Akira Tendou, he demanded perfection, and severely punished those who did not meet his requirements. And as she hardly ever did, she was often met with scorn from her father, who never once acknowledged her as his daughter. And while that should've devastated her, she didn't find herself minding too much. She never once considered Akira Tendou as her father in the sense that he was a man to come to with her woes, worries, and needs, as that regard went to her older brother, Kokatsu. Ever since she came into their home, Kokatsu was extremely protective of her, getting into several fights with Akira and most of them ending in some sort of violence. Since she was young, she never got to see Kokatsu darker side, and she believes that he wanted to keep it that way as he made extreme efforts to avoid telling her about his job in any specific detail. He also expressed some sorrow when it became apparent that she was going to be joining the Shinobi forces, though never actively spoke out against it, unlike her father who was certain that she'd never pass and if she did, never make it pass a lowly genin. If things had continued as normal, then he may have been right, for even she had begun to doubt her self and her reasons for becoming a ninja, of whether she was ready for the life they lived. But instead, soon after her seventh birthday, all hell broke loose. A ceremony was held, as Akira had decided to pass on his position as Clan Patriarch to his son, claiming he had never been prouder for him. Kokatsu took the Tendou blade(an artifact past down from Patriarch to Patriarch since before the elemental nations were even concieved) and, with a smile as bright as the sun, slew his father where he stood, dropping the weapon to perform a quick string of handsigns before slamming his fingers into the fresh corpse. An eerie red light rose from the ground around him, and it was until many months after the event that she would hear that at the time, seals popped up all throughout the city. And so it was that Kokatsu opened a portal between this world and a world of darkness to unleash death upon all who lived within it. Only a single order was given, spare the children of the Tendou clan, they had done no wrong. And so it was that behind a veil of darkness, hundreds if not thousands died horrid, painful deaths, all the while a menacing laugh would echo through out it all. When the barrier fell and the demons fled, Kokatsu held out his hand for Akio to grab, only for her to flinch away, looking at her blood trenched sibling in horror. Akio couldn't remember a time where her brother had looked more hurt then at that time, and yet she also couldn't remember a time where he seemed more relieved. He offered no pressure or force, just left without a word, and leaving her alone in a nightmare of blood, death, and sorrow. After the event, the Tendou children were taken in and eventually handed over to adoptive parents to raise them. Of those children, four would go insane from the trauma of what they witnessed as they grew up, one even committing suicide after slaughtering his adoptive parents. Tendou children where treated with a mix of pity, fear, and for Akio, hatred. Given how closely related she was to Kokatsu, there were people, kids especially, who would take out their grief of lost loved ones out on her. This made it hard for her to trust and approach people, and also made it so she hated her features that so easily gave her away. But in the midst of these hardships, an ember began to burn bright with newly discovered passion. She developed a burning drive to train herself, to become as strong as possible. She was able to pass the academy with only minor difficulties, and did her best in her genin missions no matter what the they were. However, in the early years of her life, this passion nearly consumed her, as she withdrew from everyone, constantly running herself into the ground, and then some, for a reason that she wasn't even sure of. In actuality, she felt partially to blame for what happened to Kokatsu, thinking in her subconscious mind that if she had somehow been there for him more, it could've been avoided. As life went on, however, she found herself to be taken unde the wing of Tsukiko Umene. The older jonin would drop by from time to time to check up on her, and if she felt it necessary, beat her in to shape. While at first Akio resented the woman, she eventually began to grow more attached to her as time went on, to the point where she thinks of the wild woman as the big sister she never had. Due to Tsukiko's influence, Akio began to open up to other people a little more and try to overcome her weaknesses. Also because of Tsukiko, the young Tendou can tend to have a rather vivid and imaginative vocabulary when sufficiently angered or upset, as well as having a bit of a nasty temper. As of now, she's living in a rented apartment in downtown, having moved away from her foster parents the moment she became a genin, never to speak to them again. The war was a defining moment in Akio's life . . . and not for the better. while she wasn't a stranger to loss or violence, she had never felt in the scale that she had in the war. Many good friends died in the fighting, only to die in vain as the Confederation came to rule everything. However, instead of being filled with anger and indignation, she just felt broken and afraid. As she recovered, she began to withdraw from the world, drinking more often, and geting into fights with her girlfriend Aoi, until it finally culminated in Akio breaking it off in a fit of drunken passion. She immediately regretted it afterwards, but instead of going after her and begging forgiveness, she simply let the relationship die. Despite still having strong feelings for Aoi, she just didn't want to feel the pain of losing her, imagining that it'd be worse than anything else she'd ever experienced. Since she couldn't force Aoi to stop being a kunoichi, she decide that it'd be best for the two o end their relationship, thinking it'd be easier for both of them in the long run. This belief has long since died in her mind, as she only continues to feel more and more empty inside, but she feels like it's much much too late to fix her mistake. So she lives her days in misery, with her only companions being the alcohol she keeps by her side and the odd stranger that it invites to her bed every so often. 【Family ties】 Akio feels nothing for her family name, and had nothing but fear for her father. Her brother and a few of the braver clan members were the only ones in her family to show her any kindness, though not without punishment. Her foster family after the Massacre were kind at first, but soon grew distant as she showed a great lack in interest in them. After that, they simply ignored her and she ignored them. Not the perfect home, but it was peaceful at least.

As for fears, she still fears losing Aoi, and their separation has only intensified this fear, as now not only will she lose her former lover, but she'll lose any chance for reconciliation.

That's a good motto, right?” Tatsuya is tall at around 6'2, and has a rather muscular upper body due to his work in the forge. His hands and arms are covered with numerous scars, burns and callouses due to the work he does every day, but he wears them with pride as they are the symbol of all his hard work. His red eyes come from his father, and shiny red hair comes from his mother. He also has a tattoo on his upper right arm of Ketsui lodged in the mouth of an active volcano. He got it the day he became a Genin as a symbol to never forget the determination it took to get him there, so that no matter how long the road to greatness looked, he'd never give up. His normal clothing style is usually a plain white T-shirt, some jeans and steel toed boots( a nessecity in his profession). He sometimes where a jacket if it;s cold enough for one, but more often than not, that's it for his casual wear. His combat outfit is a black, long sleeve shirt, a jacket over that, black combat pants and shinobi sandals. Personnel files.

Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Tatsuya is a more weapon-based fighter, specialized in Kenjutsu mostly, as that is the weapon he uses most often, and has the most skill in using. That being said, his Taijutu is serviceable enough that he's not completely defenseless without his weapons, but it'll only do him so well for so long, especially against a skilled Taijutsu fighter. His Ninjutsu is also quite good, with a focus on controlling the battlefield rather than simply blasting his opponents away. Up close, Tatsuya is a very good fighter, but he often has issues against distance opponent unless he can figure out a way to get them to come to him. He can either uses his jutsu to force his foe closer, or takes the battle to them instead. When it comes to using his Kekkei Genkai, he can sometimes use it to distract his opponents by making the ground underneath their feet really hot via forming lava just below the surface. A sneaky, but effective strategy, especially when facing an enemy of a higher skill level than him, as that split second distraction could give him just the edge he needs to either escape, or end a fight. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Lava Release Description: The lava release is a very versatile Kekkei Genkai that has multiple variations and abilities depending on how one uses it. For Tatsuya, he bears an affinity for manipulating volcanic materials like as Magma making a very, very deadly opponent to go up against. His Lava attacks can change the very battlefield, giving him a good amount of Offensive, defensive, and crowd controlling abilities. An added plus to this ability is that one can convert certain earth-style techniques into Lava style ones, at the cost of an increased chakra cost. With some practice, Tatsuya has also been able to create a rubber-like material as well, which he can change the consistency of his chakra to make it work as an adhesive. While he's not skilled enough with it yet to use it in battle, in time it could add to his crowd control and supportive abilities. Tatsuya himself suffers no ill effects from his use of this ability, and seems to have a bit of heat resistance as well, though not enough to make a real difference against a fire jutsu(this doesn't include his own lava, which he's immune to). It's a neat party trick for him to snuff out a cigarette on with his hands, but that's about it. Strengths: The lava style is a highly variable ability, granting nearly unparalleled offensive capability, effective defenses, and crowd control capabilities. Weaknesses: Lava attacks can be effectively countered by a strong enough Water attack, cooling down the magma into rock. Also, this ability is highly destructive, endangering both friend and foe if Tatsuya isn't careful about what abilities he uses and how he uses them. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: B rank techniques: Shadow Clone Jutsu C rank techniques: Fire Release: Crimson Earth Spider Earth Release: Subterranean Voyage D-E rank techniques: 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu Name: Doton: Ishi Yoroi no Ude (Earth Release: Stone Bracers) Rank: D Range: Self Description: By taking dirt and rubbing it on their arms or legs, after performing the necessary hand seals, a shinobi is able to create very durable defensive bracers that add extra protection when using the arms to block. The chakra that is infused in them help to soften the blows of any physical attacks. These are very useful for taijutsu users or to defend against an onslaught of upper body blows. These bracers are designed to block physical attacks only. However, by channeling Yoton Chakra into the Jutsu, the rocks and what not can heat up to a degree that while the burns they cause are minor, they can be extremely painful and distracting to the opponent. Jutsu Name: Tsuchi Tou Tou (Swift Earth) Rank: D, B with the addition of Yoton chakra/used with his Lava Creation Jutsu Range: Current range would be 10 meter at maximum, with 2 meter width, and the earth moves at high speeds Description: When performing this jutsu the user places his hands on the ground and causes it to move rapidly away as if it were a conveyor belt. As the shinobi increases in skill and rank the size, speed, and range of this jutsu all increase. While little more than a delaying tactic, if mixed with Lava Creation, it can create a rather deadly surge of lava heading straight toward the target at high speeds. Jutsu name Lava Style: Lava Creation Rank: B Range: 2 meters in diameter from the starting point Description: The user will first channel chakra into the ground, thus turning the ground to lava. The process is quick, as the ground will melt away into the liquid-like lava. This lava can be used to aid in his other lava based jutsu by creating a source which he can manipulate, instead of creating it himself. To increase the base area that is converted, the user must have both of his hands in contact with the ground. Jutsu Name Lava Style: Lava Spray Rank: B Range: Mid Description: After making the needed handseals, Tatsuya builds up Lava Style chakra inside of his gut before blasting out a jet of molten lava into the air, causing a dangerous and widespread rain of lava droplets to fall to the ground. The spread of this jutsu makes it nearly impossible to dodge, though it can be blocked if the foe has the capability. Alternatively, Tatsuya can also just fire the magma jet directly at the foe in a fast moving stream. Jutsu Name Lava Style: Weapon Creation Rank: D Range: Any active Lava source with in 30 meters Description: The user of this jutsu will first channel chakra into an active source of lava, which will cause it to rise up quickly and making the lava thicker then usual, allowing the user to then mold it into a weapon with a few simple gestures. The weapons created will be about as hard as steel, but are usually rather crude and blunt. Jutsu Name Katon: Nenshou Tosshin (Fire Release: Burning Rush) Rank: C Range: Sphere goes is 2 meters long in diameter Description: A two-part technique in which the user blocks an attack by creating a sphere of fire around themselves, and after blocking the attack, the fires converge on his feet, cloaking them in flames. The fire on his feet can be used twice to launch him at his foes somewhat faster than before. The effect lasts for about 3 posts. Jutsu Name Lava Style: Eruption Rank: A Range: Affected area would be have a diameter of about 25-30 meters, power explosions have a blast radius of about 10 meters(one or two holes), 8 meters for 3 or 4, 4 meters for 5 or 6, 2 meters for 7 or 8. Description: In preparation for this technique, Tatsuya will channel chakra through the earth to create Yoton beneath it's surface over a period of time (2 Posts). As a result of this action, the surface of the affected area will become noticeably hotter as the lava beneath is pushed toward the surface by the built up pressure. Tatsuya can then release this build up pressure by creating small craters in the ground with either explosion tags, thus releasing this pent up magma in a explosive Mini-eruption at every point where a hole was created. The more holes the smaller the explosion will be, and vice versa in that less holes will equal more power explosions. With the combination of the explosion and lava this jutsu can lead to severe injuries and even death if a foe is got unaware. It can also create several lava pools after use, which Tatsuya can then use to his advantage to control how his opponent moves around the battlefield. A side effect of this technique is that it will lead to a nasty surprise to anyone trying to move underground or using ground shifting Dojutsu. The former for obvious reasons, and the latter because it will weaken the ground around them, causing the jutsu to activate prematurely. Weaknesses are the preparation time, making it something that can't be effectively used without either a teammate or pre-planning. It can also be activated prematurely by the above method, and can't be used in certain areas. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Tool Name: Bag of Dirt Description Enough said, for Stone Bracers when there isn't much dirt around. Just in case Weapon Name: Ketsui Weapon Type A double-edged Bastard Sword Description Ketsui is the sword that Tatsuya had to make to be allowed to become a shinobi by his father, a blade of unquestionable quality and a showing of true talent and hard work to be made by one as young as him. NOt only does it have a keen edge and made from durable metal, but during the forging process(where a mix of traditional and modern techniques were applied) he inscribed special seals into the metal to give it an extra function. The blade could now store elemental chakra with in itself and circulate it through the blade more effectively, enabling it to more effectively take on the aspects of whatever element it pumped into it. This also makes it capable of forming advanced chakra natures, such as Tatsuya's own Lava Release, with remarkable ease. And since it's able to store chakra as well, that means that one can fully charge it before a mission and activate and deactivate the seals inside with a simple one handed seal and a little chakra. Chakra effects: Fire: The blade is wreathed in a thin, but intense veil of fire, allowing it to cut through metals with only moderate difficulty and cause third degree burns. Earth:The blade becomes denser and more durable Lava: The Blade becomes as Hot as Molten Lava, cutting through metal with ease as well as getting a slight increase in durabilty The charge is big enough that it can keep the blade active for a total of 5 posts. The Lava style requires more chakra, however, so he can only hold that for about 3 posts instead of 5. Tool Name: First Aid Kit Description A basic medical kit that holds several chakra pills, first aid supplies Weapon name: Shuriken Description: Sharpened, four-pronged metal stars, useful for throwing. They can also be used for close combat, but not very efficiently. Although small, they can be used to distract, pin down enemy shinobi, or if accurate enough, can kill or incapacitate an enemy. They have an open circle in the centre, useful for grabbing with a finger, to avoid cutting oneself, or to put thread through. The circle is also beneficial to the weapon's overall aerodynamics, ensuring more accurate trajectories. Weapon name: Kunai Description: A black dagger with a handle wrapped in bandages and a small ring attached to the end of it. The kunai is designed for thrusting and stabbing, though it can still do some damage if thrown despite not being designed for it, and is about the length of one's hand. Weapon name: Explosive tags Description: These tiny slips of paper with seals drawn on them can pack quite a punch if used correctly, and can even be attached onto an enemy directly. Also can be attached to thrown kunai for accurate delivery or have a bunch wrapped into a ball for a more devastating payload. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Tatsuya is an honest and sociable sort, one who believes that the best way to get something is to earn it through the sweat of your brow and the strength of your will. He's very open in both mind and personality, accepting of pretty much everyone, and at times a bit too forgiving, which people have taken advantage of in the past and probably will continue to do so in the future. However, don't take that as him being slow witted or foolish, as his mind is as sharp as the blades he forges, and he has a keen intuition, honed by years of attending his family's shop, for picking out when people are lying to him or trying to pull the wool over his eyes. He tries his best to remain courteous with all kinds people, but he's no pushover, and if you don't back off nicely, he will make you back off, whether it be through words or actions. Tatsuya is also a bit of an artist, putting his experience in the forge into various metalworking projects and sculptures. While he's not terrible, it's obvious to see that e's still trying to find his niche with the art, as every piece is very different from one another, and he has yet to see one he particularly likes yet. He's also good at drawing, but that kind of a necessity when making designs for weapons, armors, and other such works, but he does sometimes take time out of his busy days to just relax and draw the world around him, mostly just random people on the street who catch his interest. While usually rather humble and modest, Tatsuya takes great pride in what he calls his true art form, forging weapons and armors of his own that have a cool style while still remaining practical in use. He treats every work like a piece of art, and has also taken to learning several weapon types, because he always feels that if he knows how to use the weapon himself, he can better forge it for his customers. His favorite type of weapon is the sword, but he's also learned how to effectively use other weapons, such as the staff, spear, and Naginata. 【History】 Tatsuya's father comes from a clan of reknowned blacksmiths that originated from Mizu no kuni. They were known as the Kajiya Clan, and it's said that it was members of their clan responsible for forging the blades of the Seven Ninja swordsman. However, sometime after the rise of the Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki, a faction of the clan separated from the main branch and left Mizu no kuni, for reason's that very few outside the clan know about. The faction soon splintered off from each other, settling in several different lands across the world, keeping the name of their clan where ever they go to show that they still pride themselves in their linage. His father, Katsuo, was born and raised in Konoha, living there for 17 years before he decided to travel to Kirigakure in order to find out more about his heritage. It was there were he met his wife-to-be, Katsumi Terumi. She was an eccentric inventor, and often considered to be the black sheep of her clan due to her . . . odd mannerisms. While the two didn't get along when they first met, their mutual love to create eventually formed into a relation ship, and after a 5 years, Katsuo returned home with Katsumi to Konoha with her father's blessing, where they were to be happily married 3 years later. Fast forward 10 years in the future to the birth of Tatsuya, their second child and first born son. Tatsuya's early years where tough at first, as he was a rather weak baby, but he pulled through, eventually growing healthy and strong without any complications. Tatsuya soon spent a great amount of time with both of his parents in their respective workshops, and while he tended to lean towards his dad's work then his mother's, he found both of them interesting. As soon as he was able, he would assist them in every endeavor they undertook, no matter how small a task they gave him to do. His family was a happy and connected one, for the most part. The only real conflict ever presented before him was his father's staunch resolve to deny him from becoming a shinobi. Katsuo had seen both his father and brother become shinobi, only to die meaningless deaths and only him and his mother around to mourn them, and he didn't want Tatsuya to become just another forgotten grave in the cemetery, killed before his time because he was nothing but a pawn for the Confederation to use at their leisure. Tatsuya, on the other hand, was adamant about it, wanting it more than anything else. Finally, Katsuo agreed to let the boy become a shinobi, but only if he could make a weapon that would impress him, and not a second before. The task was seemingly impossible for a then 10-year old Tatsuya, but he went at the challenge with a determination that blazed liked a wildfire. Using Kajiya sealsmithing techniques, as well as his own talent and skill with the tools available to him, he worked on numerous weapons, each a good viable weapon, but never reaching Katsuo's standards until one day, 4 years into the agreement, when he presented Ketsui to his father.

51,185	1,381	92	1,306	383	Setsuko Outside of the Lecture Hall Trying To Make Friends The Hamajo Confederation (briefly) - - (briefly) - - (briefly) Setsuko sat there for a minute or two leaving the badge on her head while wondering what had just happened. The words that Higoho had told her were the same words that were running through her head at the fact that she had been randomly chosen for a task that she may as well throw the towel in. "He's right." she'd murmured to herself. Even if she did have the Byakugan she wasn't the most talented when using it hence why she'd prefer using weapons first before even thinking about using the Byakugan. Not only that, but because she was weak in something she should be strongest in meant that being the "officer" in a situation like this could either go really good out of luck, or really bad. While that simple thought was crossing her mind Setsuko grabbed the badge that was still on her head, and put it in her pocket since there was no need for it at the moment. She would then grab her Shuriken off of the table, and stand up to begin making her way out of the meeting room. Before she was to make her way down the stairs though she had turned to push the chair in, and right after she did would look up to see Higoho standing close to where she was at. She would stand there, staring at him for a few seconds contemplating whether to say something to him or not, but decided not to so as not to create more fueled words. Right after those few seconds she'd glance at the person she had met earlier. Again, she would wonder if talking to him was a good idea, but in the end decided not to since he didn't look too happy. As she walked down the stairs Setsuko would remember how Yakoul had stared at her after she had made the mistake of slamming her Shurken on the table. Of course she had hid under the table knowing that he...whatever it was was going to look at her, but chose the wrong time to peak out from under the desk. At first, the atmosphere he gave by a simple stare startled her, but thinking back on it now she wondered why he had such a strange yet powerful vibe to him...it...whatever it was. She'd have to find a way to check that out with her Byakugan, but for now she'd walk out of the meeting hall to chat with a few of the others since it was downtime. As she walked out Setsuko noticed the male she had briefly seen on the battlefield leaning against the wall while watching other people. Kind of strange, but there must be a reason to that. right? With him was another male who she didn't know, but the more people she could chat with the better. right, right? "Heyo," Setsuko waved to the two shinobi as she approached. "Mind if I join this wall adventure?"	l0ck0n's Decent, Mundane yet badass because she's a Hyuga of a Character "Chains hold me hostage. The ransom? Death." Setsuko wears her headband traditionally on her forehead with wrapping under it, so in case the headband were to fall off the cursed seal of the Branch House would not show. Not only that, but she also leaves her bangs out of the headband, and has it on the left side while having the rest of her hair in a bun. Rarely does she ever leave her brown hair loose, but when she does the hair is roughly 17 inches long. She has two ear piercings, and wears black earrings. She wears a black scarf that she keeps on at all times, a sleeveless blouse that fits her perfectly, and arm sleeves that are cut to reveal her fingers. When it's could outside, or she's on a mission Setsuko wears a styled Haori under a worn-out Obi that a store manager gave her for less than it's original price. Because she's a cheap-stake. She wears the Obi even if she's not wearing the Haori to keep from showing her stomach since the blouse is cut 2 inches below the chest. For pants she wears light grey shorts that have loose, but small pockets. Underneath the shorts she wears thin leggings while finishing it off with the traditional Shinobi shoes. Her height is 5ft 5in, weighs 134lbs, and isn't thin whatsoever. Her build is more on the Mesomorph side what with her having some muscle on her bones yet she doesn't have too much muscle. Her face is longer than rounder, and she doesn't care if it gets a scrape or two. Even if Setsuko is into the decent fashion of a Shinobi she doesn't have too cute of a face being more rough around the edges making up for it with a small round nose, and light skin. Orchard of Mines Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Setsuko Hyūga 【Alias】 Nao 【Affiliation】 She is a shinobi to the Confederation, but isn't loyal to them. 【Age】 18 【Sex】 Female 【Sexuality】 Heterosexual 【Birthplace】 Konohagakure 【Bloodline】 Hyūga Clan 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Setsuko is nothing of the calm, cool, and collected type of Shinobi. She's quite short-tempered at times, and can be reckless either off the battle field or on it. Not only can she be reckless, but she can also be impulsive on the battlefield which tends to bring with it mistakes and such while not intending to do so. Even if she comes off quite strong, and well, rude to others she's actually soft-hearted, and is willing to strike up a conversation with anyone. Because she's willing to be social Setsuko is easygoing as well, and likes to crack a joke here and there without fully understanding that her jokes aren't as funny as she thinks they are. Despite taking most of her time to practice Setsuko likes to balance that out with being able to relax, and enjoy the smaller things in life like food. Food is her go-to thing to do as well as weapon shopping, and doesn't like to miss a moment of it. Even if Setsuko is easy going the battlefield excites her, and she likes to be the first one to enter it even if she hasn't gotten fully used to her fighting style since she doesn't always use the Gentle Fist. Because of this Setsuko likes to read different kinds of combat books to increase her knowledge, but seems to never finish one. Secretly, she likes to read romance books, and likes the idea of romance though she doesn't believe she'll ever find someone for herself because love in the real world to her doesn't exist. Setsuko doesn't easily trust people (males), and doesn't try to get too close to someone no matter if it's a possible friend, or a comrade. 【History】 Childhood - (0-6): Setsuko was born to a Hyūga Branch member for a mother, and a traitor Red Sage of a father. Her beginning years involved both her parents since her father at the time still made others believe he was someone else. Her mother had given up the Shinobi life at the young age of 20, and wanted to start a family. Even if she had put her ninja things away the Hyūga had still kept a close eye on her to see if her child would have the Kekkei Genkai. For a while her parents cared for her like any other parent would, and made sure she was as happy as any child should be in those years. At age 4 all of that would come to a halt. Sadly, she had been born with the Byakugan the Hyūga clan was waiting for, and was taken away from them to be given the cursed seal as well as be taken care of by the Branch House. Being a little girl she understood nothing, and would continue to understand nothing until years later. Right after she was taken her father had disappeared only to come back with a few members of the Red Sages. At night they would enter the Hyūga territory, and attempt to take back what was without knowing that she had already been given the cursed seal. The mission was unsuccessful, and the punishment was death for every single member including her father. Setsukos mother had been taken in under the accusation that she had been recruited by her father while they were together. Distraught, and furious her mother would become a shinobi once again to be able to get revenge on the rebel group who, in her theory, had used her to try to get the Byakugan for themselves. Through all of that Setsuko would stay, and train at the Branch house up to age 7 where she would then be sent to Ninja Academy. Base School Years - (6 to 10-14): While in the academy as well as in the care of the Branch house Setsuko only got to see her mother. She had no knowledge of her father, and at that she would not even be able to say his name. In the Academy she would get picked on by her strange eye color, and would pick fights herself since she was to take crap from no one. At one point she had met someone with a similar eye color as her who, come to find out later, was also a Hyūga. She would challenge him multiple times, but each time he'd turn the other way which made her angry. It was almost like he would make himself believe she never even existed. Not only that, but the bullies wouldn't touch him because of how strong he was, so she'd do what she could to prove that she could be as strong. Mostly to get the mean kids off of her back. Because that kept failing she decided to fight him head-on which ended in her losing horribly. Even if she had lost the bullying had calmed down since she had picked a fight with a strong kid, and would do her best to show the boy that she existed. High School Years - (10-14 to 14-18): Once she reached High School Setsuko would find out who her father was. Before she reached high school she was a determined little kid who would do anything to find him. Her mother had told her what had happened at age 13, or at least her version of it, and a year later would be killed on a classified mission. With her parents both gone Setsuko would train almost nonstop to help her deal with the emotions that came with her parents death. As Setsuko passed each grade she'd begin to question if what she was doing is right due to the fact that she had parents by the hands of the confederation no matter how one looks at it. In a sense she also felt that they had left her because of their own desires, so she decided to speak about neither of them from that day on since the only thing that came with their memory was pain. While in High School She would see the kid from time to time that beat her when they were little. She noticed that he was unusually strong yet didn't have the muscle for it which made her wonder what type of person he was. She had found out his name because he was quite the topics of discussion which was shocking to her, but had heard something different about it each time. At one point she had tried to strike up a conversation, but it ended badly; It didn't end in her getting beat up, but somehow the guy still managed to ignore her which, in her opinion, was time to call it quits. As graduation came her skills were better than average, but never as good as Higōhō Hyūga which would irritate her when she'd think about it. Not only that, but the Hamajo Confederation would monitor her in case she were to do something against them, and the Hyūga Main Branch would assure her that if she were to do anything out of the ordinary she would be killed. She was upset to know that what she wanted was not to be a Shinobi to the Hamajo Confederation yet to also know that she had no choice to. 【Family ties】 Setsuko at one point did have both parents, but now she lives alone in an apartment. Akane Hyūga \| Mother \| 23, Konohagakure, Shinobi to the confederation, deceased. Masao Akiyama \| Father \| 25, Red Sages, deceased. 【Dreams and fears】 Setsuko dreams of becoming a legendary Kunoichi despite her lack of talent. She hopes to one day become as amazing as the famed Neji Hyuga who was able to get past his fears, and become even stronger. Her main fear is to be abandoned once again by the people she loves/she is close to. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Setsuko doesn't use the Gentle Fist fighting style unless it is her last resort, or unless the squad leader demands it. The Kunoichi usually packs many different types of ninja weapons such as the exploding pouches, the Shuriken, the Windmill Shuriken (her favorite, and first resort), and the usual kunai. She usually uses these to fight with more often as well as close-combat fighting. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Byakugan Description: "The Byakugan is usually manifested as very distinctive eyes, characterized by their enlarged and featureless white/lavender irides with no visible pupils. While active, the pupils become more distinct and the veins near their temples bulge. The Byakugan gives the user a near 360º field of vision, except for one blind spot at the back of the neck above the first thoracic vertebra. The range of this vision varies between users and in fact can be improved with training." Strengths: Setsuko can reach a maximum range of 9 Kilometers. Weaknesses: At one point Setsuko trained for too long with the Byakugan to try, and master its abilities. Because she had trained nonstop with the Kekkei Genkai (Which is something no one is ever recommended to do) she has permanently strained her vision. The strain has handicapped her to where she may miss details while fighting. She refuses to wear specially made glasses for it. Not only that, but Setsuko doesn't know that the Byakugan has a blind spot. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Taijutsu Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms B rank techniques: Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Taijutsu Eight Trigrams Thirty Two Palms Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Taijutsu Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation : Setsuko can only hold this technique for a maximum of 10 seconds, and at that the technique is weak since it is something she was experimenting on while messing around with their ability to control the chakra better. Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Taijutsu Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms Guard : Like the Palm Rotation this technique is weak due to the fact that she is only able to use it as a defense. She cannot form her chakra into thin blades, so using it as a defense is her only option. C rank techniques: Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Ninjutsu Water Needle Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Taijutsu Gentle Fist Vacuum Palm D-E rank techniques: N/A 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Ninjutsu : Eight Trigrams Grid Trap Rank: C Range: This technique can stretch from the person using it to as far as 6 meters. At what range is this technique useful? You can measure this in 'long' 'medium' or 'short' but those are rather vague. If you wore depth, use a distance such as meters. Description: The jutsu uses the seals of the Tiger, Ox, Ram, and Bird. Essentialy it's like the Grid Palm technique where the user slams their hand on the ground creating a network of grids to the range they desire, but instead of inflicting pain on the victim the jutsu is used like a bear trap. Once someone, an ally or an opponent, steps into the grid network their foot/feet cannot be lifted back up, and they're stuck there as if glue is holding them to the ground. After that, the network quickly begins to slide up the victim restraining their movements little by little as if they're being tied up in rope. While the grid works its way up it sends pulses of chakra to the victims chakra pathway system not only making them feel uncomfortable, but also makes it a bit harder for the user to use jutsus due to the fact that their chakra pathways are being disrupted. The chakra pulses do no such damage a person, and if the victim can easily ignore the pinching sensation internally then getting out is no difficult task. To get out of the jutsu one simply has to focus a small amount of chakra to the bottom of their feet due to the fact that Setsuko doesn't apply much chakra to the jutsu, and because that small amount would cancel out the jutsu then the victim would be free. If they don't figure this out then the grid would slid its way up until the person is covered in the network, and then break into a million pieces as it fades into nothing. It takes about 5 seconds for the users chakra pathway to readjust itself, but no harm comes to the person. From start to finish the jutsu lasts for a maximum amount of 6 minutes, and does not warn Setsuko in any kind of way that someone fell for the trap. Once the trap is sealed to the ground it stays there, but because there's only a small amount of chakra put into it the jutsu fades after 3 minutes if no one has stepped in it. Setsuko mostly uses the jutsu to stall for time, as a distraction, and/or a trap. If she puts more chakra into the jutsu then it could possibly cause severe internal damage as the chakra pulses would become much stronger, but she never does to be able to use the jutsu often. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Description: In its folded state, all four arms of the shuriken are folded together. When fully unfolded the large shuriken can be thrown through the air. This is the first thing she makes sure to pack, and is her first resort in battle. Even if it's her first resort she doesn't unfold it unless she's willing to let it go (for the greater good) for the rest of the fight/battle since the shuriken isn't a boomerang that will come back to her after throwing it.
51,186	1,381	93	1,787	2,152	Seijo Tametomo „Lady Commander Tametomo” Red Sage 宏光上妻 Seijo walked straight into her personal room, beginning to lay out her pouches, kunai, explosive tags and other items. Mostly she had expended a few shuriken today while fighting that one jonin. Despite what they had said to eachother in attempts to hurt eachother, she had been impressed with the young jonin. If they hadn't been on opposing sides.. Well, now wasn't the time to think about that. Especially after she had just ordered that one mission.. Katsuko better succeed at it. She refilled her shurikens and put everything back in their pouches, before laying them on a table. She raised her arm, scratched her head for a moment thinking on what to do. Would it be bad to eat with the rest? she thought to herself. She was the commander, surely she was supposed to be treated with respect, and was on a higher scale than the rest in regards to hierarchy. So, maybe not eat in the mess hall.. but I'm starving. Fine, eat in the mess hall. She grabbed the white cloak she wore almost all the times and put it on, fastening it with the purple sash, before heading out. She wanted to look presentable at least. For a small meeting like before that wasn't required as much, but now more people could see her, it'd be more important to be presentable. She walked through the hallway, glancing at Arima, Naomi and Aro as she passed by them. They seemed to be heading to the messhall as well, but Seijo was walking a bit faster. Probably because, unlike Arima, she wasn't trying to put the moves on Naomi, unlocking full mental capacity to focus on other things, such as walking. A grin appeared on her face, not hidden and in full sight, however. She thought back of her first shinobi love. Not that this was Arima's first.. not by a long shot, she imagined. But the way he tried to put the moves on her made it sound like it was. Red dress.. how cute. She passed by quickly, heading into the mess hall and walking past the kitchen area. She grabbed some food, nothing special, just some rice and stew. After going through the motions, she had to look for a spot. Luckily there was Anzai - a man she wasn't entirely familiar with. She just knew he was blind. An interesting person, but a strange shinobi. No, not just a strange shinobi, a strange man all together. Her footsteps approached rapidly, allowing Anzai to hear her characteristic approach, authoritarian and powerful, long before she entered his 'zone' where he could see. Once she'd reached him she'd simply sit down, putting her tray down and tapping on the table a few times. “I'm here.” she said, grinning at herself. She knew damn well he wasn't 100% blind, after all she'd tested him personally when he tried to join the Red Sages. She'd figured out quickly enough that he was useless if you stayed out of his zone - but nobody would know that on the Confederate side. “Do you need me to help you eat?” she said, trying her best to not laugh. Her voice couldn't hide that, deep inside, she was simply having a laugh with herself at the expense of the man. Once she was done having a good time, she started eating and didn't talk much anymore until she was finished. “Look, we need to have a talk about the mission.” her voice finally rang again, as she finished eating her stew and rice. She shoved the tray slightly forwards and leaned on the table, exposing her bussom a bit. “While I don't particularly care if the other missions fail or succeed, ours has to succeed. I want that Gunbai. It'll be key to an upcoming mission. I need you to be on your best tomorrow, or else I'll find a way to extradite you and all others that fail me to the Confederation. Is that understood, Anzai?” Her demeanor changed entirely now, being much more serious. She didn't have much else to do - and if she went back, she'd have to do paperwork, so she decided to stick around for now and see what else would happen. Higōhō Hyuga „Bastard” Hamajō Confederation Higoho was standing around some more, noticing that Tetsuba was glaring at him slightly before the boy looked away again. Ksu.. bastard. Higoho hadn't even spoken to him but the guy already annoyed him. Any motivation he might've had to talk to the guy was gone in an instant, and Higoho couldn't help but bore his eyes into the back of Tetsuba's head. He stood like that for a moment, watching Tetsuba. Even if Tetsuba looked back at Higoho again, Higoho wouldn't look away. He'd like it very much if Tetsuba knew that Higoho had seen him glare, and was returning the favour. However after some time his attention waned, not finding any interest in the boy anymore. Nearby he spotted Kaori sitting, and she hadn't gotten on Higoho's nerves as much. Probably the only one that hadn't in all honesty. Higoho decided to have a talk with her, or rather see what she'd have to say. On his way towards her, Setsuko had appeared. He looked her dead in the eye as he walked past, not forgetting nor forgiving her for what she'd said to him. Even if it wasn't that bad, she'd hurt his ego, and there was no way he'd forget that so quickly. As he walked past her, his shoulder brushed against hers, a testament that he wasn't going to move away for her. He should've pummeled her when she decided to speak out against him, but the only thing that had saved her from that was the fact that they were family. In Higoho's mind, anyway, it was likely she saw it otherwise. He turned a corner and dove into the rows of tabels and chairs, walking past in front of Tetsuba and arriving near Kaori. He grabbed an empty seat next to her, and then sat down, kicking his feet onto the table in front of himself and Kaori leisurely. He seemed largely unbothered by the entire 'we're at war thing' as that probably meant that he got to prove himself - to Yakoul, to the Hyuga.. and it also meant that he could show everyone he was better than them - Setsuko, Zetsuba, Kaori.. all of them were worse than him he found. Now to show him. “Hey, Uchiha,” he'd say. He had never caught her first name after all and it was relatively clear she was an Uchiha, or else she'd stolen some eyes. Both were equally impressive, he figured. It was either being a part of the clan that spawned the great Madara Uchiha, destroyer of the world and super-bad guy, or stealing eyes from the clan that was renowned for being strong. Whichever of the two, they were equally bad. It's just that being a part of the Uchiha clan was less prestigious now, as they've fallen low ever since Madara and Obito tried the whole 'lets destroy the world' thing. “How'd you like the speech? Must be nice, not having to fight. You were almost dead in that battle, do you know that? You got lucky I was there.” he said, sounding very sure of himself. Normally, anyone would've seen it as a bit of a joke, but with Higoho it was very, very clear he wasn't joking. Not at all. And who could blame him.. he was right. Kaori was very close to death in that battle with the red wearing guy. “Maybe you should come train with the Hyuga once. Maybe we can teach you not to fall for easy traps. And I'm sure I can find some people who are interested to test their skill against a Sharingan..” Yamato Minamoru „Phoenix-touched” Hamajō Confederation Yuudachi Yamato had left his backpack behind in his room, and had actually.. dressed up for the occasion. He was wearing a grey sweater with a piece of black shinobi armor over it. Normally this wasn't worn, but since he was a recent arrival and an important figure when it came to the Hamajo military, he was expected to wear it atleast on this public occasion. On the armour piece, the logo of the Hamajo confederation was painted, indicating his allegiance to the confederation. Underneath it he had simple grey pants, tucked neatly into his combat boots. Throughout the 'speech' if you could call it that, Yamato was sitting next to Aoi, his 'faithful companion' when it came to bussiness for the Confederation. Despite not officially being a team, they were usually seen together for work, which included a great many things. However unlike Aoi, Yamato wasn't taking notes, instead simply looking into the large hall and scanning the faces of those present. He didn't recognise many of them. Chokurou, whose uncle Yamato was familiar with, was in the back. In the crowd Yamato also noticed a familiar face. Perhaps too familiar. Aoi's ex lover, Akio Tendou. While Aoi was professional - and perhaps caring enough - to not bring up Yamato's past, or his father and clan, too much.. Akio Tendou would likely not have that same restraint. Yamato was uninterested in the whole affair between Akio and Aoi, so he'd never pondered on it too long, but it was clear that Aoi definetely was in a better place than Akio at this point. Aoi was the shining star of the Hamajo Confederation, everyone knew her, young shinobi fell in love with her and she was on air almost around the clock in every large district in Amegakure and other cities. And then there was Akio. He couldn't help but find it funny. The girl he expected the least of, Aoi, had proven to be more than valuable. And Akio, who had always been more serious, better and, well, stronger than Aoi in the eyes of everyone else.. was a drunken, unprofessional tool. Fate was a strange, strange experience. He scanned around the hall some more, but didn't really find anything or anyone of great importance. As soon as Yakoul was done with her little tirade, Yamato got up for that reason. He turned to Aoi, letting her know that he'd be back soon. “I'll meet up with you later to discuss our goals. For now, I want to inspect the shinobi.” he said, before turning and walking down the center of the stage, not bothering to go around. He stepped down and walked down the main passage in the center, passing everyone by. Some people went out of the way for him, others stepped aside and bowed slightly - those who were unfamiliar with him would be sure to know that he was atleast of grave importance. While Aoi always got recognized, given her face was on the wall of every city, Yamato preferred to stay in the background. He was a military advisor of the Hamajo confederation, and visited almost every village in the Confederation every year to inspect their combat capabilities. Because of that, he was well known amongst the shinobi, atleast the higher ranks. As he walked past the people in the passage in the center, he looked left and right inspecting some of the shinobi. Most seemed capable. Not above the average, that's for sure. But capable to kill atleast one Red Sage before they kicked the bin. That's all they had to do - kill 1 Red Sage, then die. If they could all do that, the war was won already. Ever Red Sage dead above that initial one, that was just a bonus. Then, he passed by Akio, walking swiftly as he always did. His eyes shifted towards her, looking her into the eyes to see if she responded in the same way. He didn't greet her, or say anything, he simply walked past. He had no intent to talk to her right now, and Akio likely didn't feel like conversing either. Finally he reached his destination - the back of the hall, where he'd spotted several shinobi standing together. He approached them, Chokurou, Setsuko and Masato. “Chokurou.” he said, nodding his head at the man. The only reason he knew him was because his uncle was familiar with Yamato, and Konohagakure was not big enough for shinobi not to know eachother. Yamato quickly glanced at the rest of the people in the small conversation circle, inspecting their uniforms and such. “You.” he said, looking at Setsuko with a deadly glare. His eyes locked with hers if she'd allow it, and he got a dirty feeling looking into her eyes. It was clear that she was Hyuga - the colour of her eyes betrayed it. Those with kekkei genkai are cursed, he thought to himself as he looked at her ears, specifically her earrings. “It's bad enough that you're cursed.” he then told her, not indicating what he meant with that. He wasn't about to explain in this busy hall, either. “But you're violating uniform regulations. Take off those earrings.” he said, locking eyes with her again. Filthy kekkei genkai. They ought to be exterminated so the world may know peace. His eyes shifted over the group now, looking at the three individuals. “I hope you know you're doing the Confederation a great service...” Even that cursed girl.. “... and the president is proud of you all.” Yes. The president.. “We're happy to see you survived this treacherous attack. The Red Sages will be terminated. I can assure you that. Peace will return to the Hamajo Confederation.” he then added, before nodding in the general direction of those in the group. “That's all. Return to your duties at once.” he said authoritatively, with a voice both ringing with strength as well as a hint of a threat. Yamato turned around again and proceeded to take the time to inspect the shinobi that didn't leave the hall already. After some time, he too would dissapear as he headed towards the Sunagakure political center, where he'd been given accommodation in the form of a luxurious room with a nice view over the city - desert, spread far and wide, laid beyond that. There were better places to spend your day.	Partisans Cool Guy Group Entry not allowed to peasants I'm talking about you Savato “To kindle that memory is all I strive for - all this, it has no greater purpose to me. But it's all I can do.” Pictured on the left, Seijo is obviously a well matured woman. Her age would probably be estimated in her early twenties, around 23 or so. That seems to be fairly accurate given her personnel files. What stands out most in her physique are probably her white, short hair and her large breast size. She struts a feminine hourglass figure with wide hips and a wide chest, and a smaller waistline. Adding to that her hips often sway side to side effortlessly, only adding to her appearance as a good looking woman. She stands rather tall for a woman at about 1.74m, and weighs approximately 62 kilo's, though you can guess where most of that weight is located. Her jawline is sharp, almost as if drawn with a pencil and a ruler. Her chin is slightly pointed, but rounded off enough to stop it from appearing like a pointy spear, ready to pierce your body. She has a small mouth with somewhat thin lips, which are pale in color and are only a slight tint darker than her skin. Her large eyes are a brown colour, framed by her eyebrows. Her eyebrows are thin, most likely maintained by Seijo herself. The only thing that stops people from seeing her as only a beautiful woman, are most likely her facial expressions. She's quick to anger. Personnel files.

Should be obvious, heh. 【Sexuality】 Noticeably bisexual. 【Birthplace】 Amegakure. 【Bloodline】 Tametomo. 【Rank】 Lady Commander of the Red Sages, approximated jonin level. Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Assessments of Seijo have shown her to be a brotherly-friendly type of person. She's someone that enjoys very much when you fall down face first in the muddy puddle, and who will gladly spend a few years laughing about that. Never the less she's outgrown that feeling, or at the very least tried to. She's more serious now, which is in line with her position as Lady Commander of the Red Sages. She's still bitter - about the confederation, about the wars, about everything really, and she makes no attempts to hide that. She hates everything about the Confederation, and in her mind, if you are not a Red Sage, you must be a confederate sympathizer. That has grown increasingly prominent in her plans on beating the Confederation now that her brother Tarara died. She's very vengeful, you could say, and it's hard for her to let go of a grudge. Besides this she's also very cocky when it comes down to it, perhaps a bit ruthless, but so far nobody has really dared to stand up against her or question her plans - and she intends to keep it that way. To her, nothing will stand in the way of beating the Confederation, not even her own death. And while before she was fighting merely for freedom, since Tarara's death she's also fighting for him. 【History】 Seijo was born in Amegakure two years apart from her older brother Tarara. They were a semi-happy family, as life in Amegakure wasn't always that great. Especially when it became apparent that two Amegakure shinobi, Ayame and Fujitora, had taken power in Konohagakure. The Amegakure people faced paranoia from all other nations than Konohagakure, seriously hurting their trade power. Then again, it didn't seem to matter much as shortly after Ayame and Fujitora came to power wars started breaking out. Some were even started by Ayame and Fujitora, so it was no surprise Amegakure got involved quickly. By the time that had all happened, Seijo was already a shinobi of fighting age, and was pushed to the front. Luckily for the family all our of them were shinobi, her mother being a strong shinobi with some sensory powers, her father being a taijutsu specialist and her older brother, Tarara, being simply a shinobi. What put Seijo apart from the rest of her family was the utilization of a special kekkei genkai that seemed to have skipped a few generations. In the wars sometimes she'd fight alongside her family, sometimes she'd fight alone with her own squad, but luckily for them they all returned home safe and sound - though Tarara had lost an eye to an enemy kunai. The wars weren't really finished, but something greater was at large. The Confederation arose some time later, and Amegakure being a small village wasn't able to withstand the pressure. They were forced to integrate into the Confederation and were made into the capital - many Amegakure citizens were forced to leave to make way for presidential buildings, apartments for envoys etcetera. While Seijo's mother and father remained behind to 'hold down the fort', Tarara and Seijo left to join up with a band of 'outlaws' that roamed the land. They were Amegakure shinobi who refused to submit to the Confederation, so not quite the rebels they were made out to be. They roamed around the lands for some time and sometimes clashed with other shinobi groups, conflicting for reasons that were no longer valid ever since the confederation had taken over. Over time Tarara grew to become the leader and Seijo his right hand, since there were deaths aplenty in these times and the leaders were usually prime targets - if not for mutiny then for battle with other shinobi groups. At that time the Red Sages were already around and Tarara led the group to join with the Red Sages. The organisation was picking up pace quickly and they made Tarara a captain, and was immediately sent out on missions. The missions varied greatly and Seijo was sometimes sent on missions too, ranging from picking up some equipment, to sabotaging infrastructure. Over time Tarara showed his leadership qualities again and when the previous leader died from old age, Tarara was designated to take over. Seijo wasn't bitter about being in his shadow so much, just wishing to do what was right for her family. But unfortunately Tarara didn't last long, as he was assasinated in the dead of the night by some special operations force from the Confederation. The fight didn't last long at all - Tarara and the few shinobi that were around put up a fierce fight but there were many shinobi, and not enough of the Red Sages. Before reinforcements could arrive Tarara was killed. There was no designation of leadership. To Seijo, there was no question who would take over. It would be her, or she'd leave the Red Sages and do the job herself. But when she claimed leadership, there wasn't anyone that wished to oppose her at that time. The fire burning in her eyes now was enough to dissuade anyone from attempting that, even if they had wanted to. 【Family ties】 The family Seijo grew up in wasn't anything special. There's no sobstories involved, with dead parents, loss of loved ones in the past, growing up an orphan. And there weren't so many happy stories, given that they were in Amegakure, which wasn't exactly the most peaceful nor rich place in the world. Never the less she loves her family, or what is left of it at the current point in time. After all, conflict breeds death. Tarara Tametomo \| Brother \| 30 at time of death, Amegakure, lord commander of the Red Sages. He always loved Red Panda's. Seijo didn't, and she regrets that now. Oiro Tametomo \| Father \| 56, Amegakure, ex-shinobi, currently has a ramen restaurant that serves to the poor. It also serves to the rich. Really, it serves to anyone, he just says he serves to the poor because that sounds better. Rei Tametomo \| Mother \| 54, Amegakure, ex-kunoichi and professional nagger. She likes to nag about a lot of things, especially about Oiro not making his ramen properly. 【Dreams and fears】 Seijo's dreams are really only related to destroying or atleast getting even with the confederation. Besides that she wishes to see her father and mother again in peace one day, but she realizes that that might not be a possibility. Another dream is to meet with one of the Choko siblings - Fujitora or Ayame - though she has heard that it's possible both are deceased since the Confederation took over. Her fears, well, she hasn't many, which has more to do with her attempts at being seen as a coldheaded leader. She ofcourse fears losing her life - she is human and every human fears this. But this fear isn't in the back of her head whenever she enters battle. A fear that is also present is the fear of losing her followers - while she doesn't care directly for their support, she knows she needs them to succeed in her goals. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Seijo is a medium distance fighter with a focus on utilizing jutsu to keep the enemy at bay and kill them. That aside however she possesses some strength and is capable of using taijutsu if she needs to as well - quite adequately even. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Fungus Release Description: The Fungus release allows the user a control over fungal-style plants and moss, which would be able to sprout from the users touch. Remarkably harmless in how it sounds, it's been weaponized quite well through years of practice. The origins of this release are unknown, but the uses are not. It doesn't manifest in clear sight, as the fungus used in this release are housed inside the users body, feeding off of the waste the host produces. As such the user has a notoriously quicker metabolism, as well as a noticeably lower rate of human waste dispersion. In use, the release manifests itself through the obvious moss and fungus it produces. The moss is highly flammable, but the large area of effect jutsu's that can be used with it can cause a spreading fire, or even an explosion, since the spores it releases are very dense. This might inadvertently trap everyone inside the technique, friend or foe, in a fiery vortex. Besides that, the moss has some interesting capabilities, such as genjutsu inducing properties, poison inducing properties or even a chakra and dead tissue absorbing quality, much a kin to real moss and fungi. Some specific branch of the fungi even have mind-controlling capabilities, but it's required to induce the fungal spores into the target by touch, after which it will grow it's way towards the targets brain internally and take over, collect info or possibly control them. Strengths: Versatile and allows the user to regain strength and chakra mid-battle through absorbtion of dead tissue. It's got a great variety for many situations and it's not obvious exactly what is going on with this bloodline limit until it's used. Weaknesses: Fire and (controlled) chakrablasts can somewhat easily deal with the fungi, although you have to be careful with the chakra since the moss can also feed off of it if used improperly. Besides that, it becomes easy to see what the bloodline limit entails once it's used, as it's obvious this is moss or fungus. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu Assimilate All Creation Technique B rank techniques: Barrier: Dome Method Technique 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Transportation Technique Rank: C Range: N/A. Description: Forming the tiger seal, the user sinks into the ground into a small circle of moss with toadstools in it, seemingly dissapearing. A simple transportation technique, this technique will then allow the user to appear somewhere else in the same circle of moss with toadstools in it, which seem to appear out of nowhere to anyone watching. The technique is usable in battle, but the sinking effect is slow allowing opponents to land hits while she is 'sinking' into the patch of moss. Never the less, the appearing effect is quickly, allowing Seijo to appear out of nowhere rather quick and attacking. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Invocation of Nature Rank: B Range: 500m diameter. Description: After forming a boar-hare-ram seal string, and then slamming the palm into the ground, the user can transform the area around themselves into a mossy field by spreading the moss inside their body rapidly over the land, capable of terraforming even the most arid lands into moss and fungus covered 'grasslands' which will quickly (10 minutes) give rise to many forms of plantlife and even small trees (30 minutes). This technique seems semi-useless but it allows the user to transform land into something both useful, and to create a place where she is at home. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Control of Nature Rank: B Range: 500m diameter. Description: Using the moss that is already present in an area, the user is able to control the fungus and moss to a degree, making it capable of grabbing feet, forming walls and also spreading it even further, as long as the controlled substance stays in contact with moss or the user. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Deterioration of Spores Rank: B Range: A cone of 20m outwards of the user, in a triangle shape. Description: Inhaling deeply and placing an open palm in front of the mouth, the user exhales and blows out a large amount of spores over the area in front of her, which carry a poisonous substance that can cause anyone that inhales the spores to start breathing heavily, growing stronger and ultimately choking them by growing fungal growths in their throat over the course of a week if left untreated. Anyone that gets into contact with them externally, such as skin contact, will develop rashes which burn heavily, but are non lethal and can easily be treated as well. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Fungal Chakra Sap technique Rank: A Range: Touch. Description: After spreading fungus from one person (user) to the other (target) the user is able to 'infect' the target with fungus, by touching them and so spreading the fungus and moss to them. The user might notice, but will find it is hard to get rid of the fungus once it's internal through the chakra tenketsu. Once inside, the fungus will slowly sap away the enemies chakra, eating it to strengthen itself. After approximately a minute, the chakra eating fungus will be 'full' and detach itself, either falling off of the body, or being taken away by the blood system of the target. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Hallucination of Spores Rank: B Range: A cone of 50m outwards from the user. Description: Inhaling deeply and placing an open palm in front of the mouth, the user exhales and blows out a large amount of spores over the area in front of her, which are infused with the users' chakra and can carry over a genjutu upon being touched by a spore. Since it's easy to be freed from a genjutsu this technique is generally used only when fighting small groups. The genjutsu is capable of doing pretty much anything a high level genjutsu can do, giving the user pretty much full control over the effects of the genjutsu, while using the subconcious of the target to identify and use psychologically harmful events. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Greater Deterioration of Spores Rank: A Range: An area of 1km in diameter. Description: Similar to the normal deterioration of spores technique, this technique can cover entire battlefields in spores, transmitting the poison to anyone that inhales the spores, and also onto any allies that get harmed. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Ultimate Siphoning Jutsu Rank: S Range: Medium Description: After covering a field in moss, the user will then use their Control technique to encase an opponent in a special type of moss that hardens tremendously when it comes into contact with foreign chakra. It makes it able to withstand hard blows from taijutsu, weaponry and most jutsu. Encasing the opponent, the user then starts using the moss to siphon chakra, and transfer it to themselves to refill their reserves. What makes this S-rank is the speed at which this occurs - within ten minutes a target will be drained of nearly all chakra, at which point the technique can be disabled and the target 'freed' although with the little amount of chakra they would have left, they'd be as good as disabled for the duration of the fight. Jutsu name: Summoning: Neki the Newt Rank: C Range: N/A. Description: This summoning technique summons Neki the Newt. Given the qualities of a newt, this newt is capable of high speed water traversal as well as shooting water out of it's mouth. It's size is medium sized (it's aproximately 2m. high and 4m. long) and is big enough to carry two people in it's mouth at once if they are standing up. Weaknesses: Weaknesses to all internal fungi, such as the inhalation of the poisonous spores, or being touched by either the fungal parasite technique or chakra sap technique are external chakra. This is due to the fact that the moss and fungi adapt to the targets chakra, feeding off of it for sustainability. Any external chakra will offset it and make it deteriorate, as well as the effects with it. As such you can be pulled out of the genjutsu with external chakra (as is the case with regular genjutsu as well), you can stop the effects of spreading poisonous moss and fungus due to the Deterioration of Fungus technique, although the effects it's had on the target up until that point will remain (i.e you won't get rid of the rash, or the internal burning sensation it created). A weakness for external moss (the spores in the air, or the moss on the ground) is that it's highly flamable, however this is also a strength because it can be used against you. “I do not give to receive - I simply take.” If I die tonight Higōhō is a man of reasonable build, especially considering he practices a mostly non contact style of fighting. He's not precisely buff, more like lean, but that's just the way he likes it. His arms are toned as well as his chest and stomach which is more or less the extent of his build. He has a rounded jawline, with a round chin, protruding slightly from the rest of his faces' contours. The skin on his face is rather tight - it wouldn't be possible to pinch and pull his cheeks. He has a very thin nosebridge, and a slightly pointed nose. If one had to label it, his nose were likely to be seen as about average sized. Some of his facial features that stand out a lot are his pure white eyes which conflicts with his black hair and the black shirts he always wears. Although his outfit always changes (he's quite aware of fashion, and although he doesn't follow the latest trends, he likes to dress in ways that make him feel good) he has one consistent piece of clothing in his look - his necklace. On this necklace is the mon of the Hamajō Confederation. One could say he is very much a patriot. And the nice things one can say about him end about there. Personnel files.

Hyuga. 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Higōhō isn't a nice person whatsoever. He's very sure of himself, cocky to some, arrogant to others. It doesn't help that he's not weak, either. He believes very strongly in himself, and although he's smart enough to know that he's no Madara or Pain, he knows he's strong. Not only is that because of the Byakugan, it's also because of his own hard work he thinks, as well as some natural skill he feels like he has. His cockiness and arrogance has lead him to become quite careless when conversing with people - you can call him an asshole, a lighter term would be being rude. Truth is, he just doesn't really care. If a girl asks him what he thinks of her dress, and he doesn't like it, he'll tell her the dress is ugly. If her face is ugly too, well, he'll probably tell her that too. Though that doesn't mean he would dislike this person, he just thinks himself above most people, so he feels a right to say that. Ofcourse, if he likes something, he isn't afraid to say that either. But he doesn't like that much things. In battle.. do I even need to say this? He's arrogant. He's a bit overzealous at times, and doesn't know his own limits, willing to take on things that are above his own skill level. But so far that's not really ever gone wrong terribly. Aside that, you can call him dumb, or you can call him brave, but he doesn't really give up. You'll have to kill him, knock him out, or cut off his legs and arms if you want him to stop getting up after you pummel him. To him, it doesn't matter. Dying is more honorable than giving up. Besides his arrogant appearance and his lack of care for people around him - the catch is that really he does care. Being a bastard child and - boo-hoo-hoo - not receiving a lot of attention, love, nurturing and care, meant that to Higōhō he had to appear like he didn't care, to not give his father the satisfaction of being broken by his lack of care. This carried over to his adult years. And while he might not care for others because he likes them, he cares for their well being since they are in the same battalion. So, he'll be very sacrificial if he needs to be, willing to give his life up for something like a mission or another person. 【History】 Higōhō was born 18 years ago, to a Hyuga side branch member and a woman of lesser morals. Not exactly a brilliant future ahead of himself, especially since he was born with the Byakugan and thus it was demanded that he was handed over to the Hyuga's He was immediately given the cursed seal on his forehead. A stain of shame on his father's reputation, and already that of his own. Not like a newborn baby was aware of such concepts as reputations. But during his childhood his father made it painfully obvious that he wasn't exactly wanted - 'an accident' - and later one even went as far as saying that he was a stain on the family name, a bastard child who was never meant to be. He shrugged it off, really, because at that point it became apparent that his father was a deadbeat, only allowed to stay in the Hyuga home because his drinking problem and gambling addiction would bring shame to the family if word ever got out. Most of his childhood he was micro-managed by the nannies and tutored by the older members. More often than not he was treated as a child that wasn't supposed to be there, but they put up with him regardless. He showed progress in using the byakugan, especially the gentle fist, as if some sort of innate skill with that style was already within him. Whether that was true or not remained to be seen but fact of the matter was he did good in classes. As soon as he became 7, he was sent to the shinobi academy, because a bastard child had nothing better to become than a shinobi anyway. He did well. Well enough, anyway. Didn't exactly want to be there but hadn't much other choice. At that point in time he had already thought to himself that his only purpose in life was really to be a shinobi - and to fight for the confederation. The confederate soldiers were sort of his heroes, warriors fighting to protect their homes, true patriots, yadda yadda. He loved them. So, he figured, why not become one? The Confederation took over at that point and since then his class was kind of filled with masses of kids. That meant that, even though there were many prospect shinobi that were at a good level, there were far more useless kids who were only there because their parents want them to be. And that meant Higōhō would stand out a little. Welp, he passed, no big surprise. Got to be a genin running around doing stuff like saving kittens from trees and stuff. It didn't matter, he was still a confederate shinobi, which felt good. It didn't take him too long to become a chunin - the Confederation took an interest in him due to the Byakugan, and so his promotion came rather easy. And here we are! 【Family ties】 His family is mostly the Hyuga clan - his father, ofcourse, and then the nannies and teachers that he worked with. The other kids, he supposes, were 'okay'. He didn't really got bullied, so that's a plus. Katso Hyuga \| Father \| 47, his room in the Hyuga estate, professional deadbeat. 【Dreams and fears】 He dreams of, one day, becoming a jonin and leading a team, or perhaps even becoming a captain for the confederation and entering the political world of the Confederation. Besides that, he kinda wants to live a calm life after his service. What a simple soul. His fear is probably dying by Curse Seal - it'd be hard knowing you're gonna die without being able to fight back. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Higōhō is a very close combat oriented fighter, using the gentle fist. He is a proficient gentle fist user, capable of ousting most other nintaijutsu users with his own, and being a force to be reckoned with even within the Hyuga clan. That is not to say he'll beat anyone, however. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Byakugan Description: I can copy paste this URL here or you can just read it if you have no idea about byakugan (you barbar). His byakugan has a maximum range of 12 km, though that's only when he's not doing anything intensive (such as fighting). 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Eight Trigrams Mountain Crusher B rank techniques: Gentle Fist (style) Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm Eight Trigrams Sixty-four Palms Eight Trigrams Thirty-two Palms C rank techniques: Palm Bottom Tenketsu Needle 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Eight Trigrams Vacuum Combo Rank: C Range: Very close. Description: The jutsu is nothing more than a combination of a gentle fist move with the vacuum palm move. First the user spins around on their axle, using their left/right hand (depending on the way you spin) to open up the victims' body by slapping away any defensive hand placements, before slapping their palm forwards and using the vacuum palm technique. “Watashi wa Kami - I am still God.” Over the past 11 years Yamato hasn't changed much - appearance wise - in comparison with before the Hamajo confederation arrived. He's grown in size, reaching up to 1.83cm by now. He still dresses the same - tshirts, a-shirts or sweatshirts with some form of jacket over them. He usually wears chino's like he did before, but has traded his slip-in's for a pair of black combat boots. Yamato is defined as a handsome boy, having a chiseled jawline and somewhat skinny-looking cheeks. His nose bridge is quite thin, although not as if it were a stripe. Contrary to most with a thin nosebridge, his nostrils are also thin. Besides that he has no specific bone structure related characteristics. His eyes are a deep dark green, but not so dark that they can be mistaken for a grey-black colour. In accordance with genetics they are slightly slanted. The most defining features on his face are most likely his 3 large, reddish old scars running across his nose. Yamato's body is 'normal' in terms of muscle and fat, though it's improved compared to 11 years ago. He has some obviously defined muscled due to the nature of their schooling, as a normal shinobi is expected to keep up with his athletic properties. His arms are skinny, meaning that the muscles there are by nature more defined, but due to hard training, they are also very much so toned to perfection. Without flexing you could most likely see the muscles regardless. The same goes for his legs. His chest is not very broad nor does it extend towards the front due to musclemass. As such he has a rather 'normal' looking chest. Regardless he does have some definition there, although you probably wouldn't see it very often due to his clothes. Personnel files.

Although as every other clan they have to grow with the times, and as such many customs have become merely symbolical and don't actually hold much significance. These customs are almost always on par with that of the other clans, since the clan is not much different from the others. That said, they have since their waning influence, dabbled more into even darker trades, and many of the Minamoru which were not shinobi, have become actively involved in the illegal arms trade, drugs trade, prostitution and other illegal activities. 【Special Traits】 Males are known to be born with black hair specifically, with the females usually being born with either black hair, or white hair. Chances seem to be 50/50 for either of the colour. Their eyes are green, differing only in coloration between dark and light green. The Minamoru do not have any hiden or kekkei genkai - in fact, they despise kekkei genkai and see it as a curse, where as hiden are seen as a pest, but 'acceptable.' 【Influences】 The Minamoru influence on Konohagakure was very, very big. Some of it was subtle, such as underground influences due to the Yakuza affiliations they have, or rather.. the fact that they lead one of the three largest Yakuza groups in Konohagakure, and dealt in things like Senju DNA, Sharingan black trade (rare) or even the drug trade. Their affiliations in this field are obvious to those involved, but to the outside world, it seems completely preposterous that the Minamoru, a powerful and high 'n mighty clan is involved in this. Besides that they were a huge economical influence 11 years ago, because they owned more or less 60% of all of Konoha's economical centre with Minamoru Enterprises. The remaining 40% is, thankfully for Konoha, not theirs since the other Yakuza groups were trying hard to wrangle control away from them. The fact that they own most of the economical centre should probably say enough about their economical influence but this is not to say that all this money flows directly into the pockets of the Minamoru clan - bribes, wages, etcetera all is paid from these funds. Finally the political aspect of the clan, which was not as big as it's underground or economical influence. Never the less it's still present - the fact that the Minamoru are a shinobi clan in essence (though, that is debateable very much so) gave them a small influence, and their alliances with other clans, as well as their feuds with some of the others, are a reason that they were politically well regarded, though not as high as the Hyuga or the Uchiha, or even the Uzumaki's although those have recently been more forthcoming towards the Minamoru. Ever since the death of Reijo at the hands of Fujitora Choko, the clan has fallen, and fallen deep. The only Minamoru of relative high stands are the shinobi, and even those have been falling ever so slightly. The only two remaining shinobi with a grain of honor left are Reijo's children - Rei Minamoru, a 25 year old medical kunoichi, and Yamato Minamoru himself, the heir to the clan after his uncle passes away. Never the less the clan has no estates left - all financial enterprises, shops, financial buildings were given away by Fujitora Choko to rival companies to ensure that the Minamoru held Yakuza group received no financing. Their political power waned as Reijo was the politician of the clan - the other Minamoru were regarded as too hotheaded and his uncle was a drunk, so he barely did anything with the clan. The Minamoru are barely a remnant of themselves, if they can even be called that. 【Relations】 Naito - the Naito clan is one of the clans that the Minamoru have been feuding with for the longest time. The feud started about 200 years ago, when both the Minamoru and the Naito were relatively new to Konoha. Ever since it's been dubbed the Feud of the Tiger and the Dogs. The long standing feud hasn't subsided just yet as members of this clan frequently clash - be it with words, swords, or politics. No longer applicable. The Naito clan is wiped out. 【History】 The Minamoru clan was founded quite recently compared to the other clans such as the Uchiha or the Hyuga. They were not part of the original founding clans, and migrated later as a result of economical changes. They weren't originally shinobi but quickly managed to adapt into a Shinobi clan effortlessly. They were comprised of highly driven individuals that wished to become the greatest at, more or less, whatever they attempted. It didn't always succeed, actually, more often than not, but you only need to give one glance to the current status of the clan to see how far they kicked it in those 200 years, compared to the Uchiha. Never the less they don't quite fit into Konoha - they are not so much underhanded, and wouldn't do anything to directly harm Konoha, but they are very self centered and do anything they do for the clan or themselves, not for Konoha. Konoha is simply a means to an end for them. Never the less a feeling of pride and honour is also common place in the clan so Konoha needn't worry about the Minamoru betraying them. They do what they do for themselves, or atleast so they say, but deep down most of the Minamoru are quite self sacrificial, especially the shinobi. Those that aren't in the shinobi trade are often a whole different breed of people, mostly simply normal people and civilians. In short, that means they have a tough skin, cussing, feuding, and appear somewhat rude and cold. Underneath that however are people that deeply respect tradition, hierarchy and self sacrifice. They might not show it but it's definetely there. Moving on, they also don't fit Konoha because they are very outspoken against kekkei genkai - and sadly for Konoha (or the Minamoru's, depending on who you ask) there are plenty of clans with kekkei genkai's. This has been reason for them to be a bit of an outcast-clan compared to others, distancing themselves from main Konoha, living outside the village. Up until the mid-years, between Sarada and Boruto's births, and current situation, they were insignificant, standard fodder clans. However it was then that they broke through with the arrival of the ronin, that fueled the underground Yakuza operations that some of the Minamoru were involved in. Due to this they suddenly raised in power unexplainedly, gaining more funds to further their political influence and economical presence. It didn't take long before Reijo took over 40-so years later, and furthered that all even more, expanding their influences rather rapidly. 11 years later, in the Hamajō Confederation, there's not much left of the Minamoru clan. All estates are gone, only the housing area remaining. Everything is, more or less, gone. Only Fujitora Choko and his 11th corps are to be blamed - that much any shinobi in the Minamoru clan will tell you. 【Rank】 Jonin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Yamato used to be seen as a thug or a criminal in the making. Not far from the truth given his father was the largest criminal in the entire village - something Yamato has no particular feelings towards since to him it was a way of life since his birth. However Yamato was never a criminal - he might've done questionable things during his services to the Hamajō Confederation but never anything that he'd consider criminal activity. Something else that characterizes him is his aggressive tendencies, as he is very very quick to anger and is, very much so, an asshole to everyone he meets. Those that know him for longer, such as Akio Tendou or Aoi Don Maquia will testify to this. Yamato is a bright young man, widely regarded in Konohagakure as a prodigy of attack. This is seen in his psyche as well, as the boy has shown aggressive and violent tendencies from time. Some would call it a short fuse.. and others call it being a thug in the making. Regardless of which is true, the boy also has shown impeccable resilience, steadfastness and a healthy dose of respect for tradition. Rumor within the Minamoru clan has said this is due to the amount of training that got instilled into him at an early age, and that he instills into himself daily even still. The boy also hates kekkei genkai for one reason or another, a sentiment shared by the entire clan, and some radicals even go so far as to wish those with a kekkei genkai dead. Yamato is a good student, and gets very good grades compared to those in the same years as him. He has shown a talent for, how could it be anything else, taijutsu and nintaijutsu, focusing especially on the offensive. This goes well with his aggressive nature and he is known to be able to take down opponents in a matter of seconds, although his defense is less than average. Despite attempts to convince him, his resilience has proven that fruitless. Then again, the boy has always been a prodigy and nobody has been able to prove that the boy might need a defense as well. This has affected his personality in a more or less negative way, although that is open to interpretation. The boy is somewhat- no, very arrogant, and while he wouldn't boast about his skills, he is fully aware of his status as a prodigy. This has given him the idea that he is above everyone else, and he has remained to keep this idea as he's been unhindered by anyone who could prove him wrong. Watashi wa Kami - in his eyes, he is God. 【History】 Pre Hamajō Confederation Yamato's childhood years were essentially a calmth before the storm. He spent his first four years as most children his age did - calmly in the arms of his mother, and playing outside. Then at the age of four, his father decided that it was time for him to become ready. Determined to make the clan greater than it already was, he hired a teacher who was to teach Yamato the basics about being a shinobi. No, he didn't learn any techniques, but learnt the mental side of shinobi's, namely rules, history and things you needed to know. This affected his school career indirectly as he had more background knowledge than most when he entered base school. During his time at base school he still had interest in making friends and preferred to learn techniques, practice taijutsu or throwing and fighting with kunai and shuriken. He often sparred with others, showing of his tenacious and aggressive nature in these matches. He often ended up fighting kids that were bigger and older, beginning to make a name for himself. He became a genin at the age of 12 like most others and went on to attend the high school to become a chunin. In that aspect, while he was a prodigy, he was like everyone else. During high school years he maintained a very steady level of training, to maintain his position within the clan which had grown by now. He became, more or less, the pride of his clan and family, and went unrivaled within the clan. In highschool he maintained a same degree of authority, although there were those that had problems with it, he found that he barely had any problems maintaining his position as the people that objected were often not even close to his level of mastery. Although this makes him sound like a hard ass, all he wanted was for people to more or less leave him alone. The only people he could really get along with was his own family. And even that was strenuous at times. Later, he became semi friends with Aoi, who had shown Yamato to be more capable than she let onto. Never the less they weren't ever close to friends - more so, being colleagues that enjoyed working together with each other more than if they had to work with others, the exception to that being Akio, who was Aoi's preferred companion for a long time. As for the hatred of people with kekkei genkai, it stems from the preconceived notion that people with kekkei genkai seem to think themselves special, untouchable or even godlike, and when you pair that with historical events focusing around kekkei genkai and being mostly negative (Infinite Tsukuyomi, Hyuga clan being a prime target to other villages), it results in a hatred that is widespread among this clan, which has seen it's fair share of bad luck to do with kekkei genkai during the centuries. Besides that Yamato is of the opinion that he could beat a kekkei genkai easily through strength and a superior will to work for something. Arrival of Hamajō Confederation During the arrival of the Hamajō Confederation Yamato played a part in the taking of the city. While he was defending the city at first, he switched sides halfway through after realizing that the Hamajō Confederation wasn't all that bad - in fact, it was better than Ayame and Fujitora. It didn't help that Fujitora was responsible for the death of his father - and in turn, the near death of his family. The Hamajō Confederation would have a larger chance to make his family important again. He arrived on scene near the 11th corps headquarters, which was where Fujitora was holed up. Finding himself trailing mostly behind dead bodies, he soon find the source of this - Yakoul. The cat-like person had slaughtered most of the 11th corps, including Saburo and Daiki, two people that Yamato had hoped to kill for himself. Above all, it had killed Fujitora - which was a crime in the eyes of Yamato, blinded by honour. Knowing better than to take revenge by attacking Yakoul, he simply boded his time. He got promoted within the Hamajō Confederation and is now a captain, or otherwise known as Jonin, largely in service at the Amegakure capital. However, recently he's received orders to go to the border area to investigate a compound, and meet with commander Yakoul, who'll be making further use of his services. 【Family ties】 Yamatos family was rather normal, if you keep in mind that he grew up with a family that was not only his father and mother but also included close relatives of those people. Given that his father is the clan head, he has always felt like the entire clan was his family, and not just his father and mother. As such he always felt a great drive to do well, for the honor of the clan. Furthermore the birth of his younger sister when he was 2 added to his drive as he was under the pretense that he'd get to, or even have to, teach her. Reijo Minamoru \| Father \| 43 at time of passing, Konohagakure, used to be often away on bussiness, was a politician and economist, it's said he has a pair of mistresses in any city. Mika Minamoru \| Mother \| 47, Konohagakure, restaurant owner and mother, she is a hard worker who never complains. Atleast she likes to think that she doesn't. Rei Minamoru \| Sister \| 25, Konohagakure, medical shinobi. Popular girl, but unlike Yamato she finds practicing boring and she'd rather spend her time away from home with friends. 【Dreams and fears】 Yamato secretly dreams of a world where there are no kekkei genkai as this would, in his eyes, greatly reduce conflict. Furthermore he dreams of making the Minamoru clan even greater than his father did, to outdo him in something that his father was already very good at. As for fears, Yamato fears causing death and dishonor to the clan, which goes without saying. Besides that he also fears losing respect from the clan and, to a lesser degree, to other shinobi of the Hamajō Confederation. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Yamato's fighting style revolves entirely around the attack, offensiveness and taking down an opponent with hard hitting blows. Defense is almost nonexistant in his style, as he barely needs it. He is extremely resilient, as mentioned before, and as such he can take a lot of hits of any kind without showing signs of pain. Besides that, he is also someone who never, ever gives up. As such he will keep getting up even if he knows he cannot win - an admirable trait to some and a sign of stupidity to others. Another aspect of his style is courage, in the form of never being frightened. He is going to be the first to jump into battle and he's going to do so with an aggression bound to shake hearts and silence voices. 【Ninja techniques】 B rank techniques: Katon: Great Fire Destruction C rank techniques: Katon: Great Fireball Technique 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Minamoru-shi: Nokori Onaji (Minamoru Clan: Remain the Same, 残り同じ) Rank: S Range: N/A Description: This technique is, more or less, what constitutes Minamoru's hiden. It was created by Yamato due to his reckless nature and desire to enter the fray as the first one in - which was a negative thing before. Now, that turns into a good thing. The technique utilizes a very very small amount of chakra, which gathes in a 'pool' of chakra within the user. In general, there's never been a time where the chakra gets used up so quickly in usage of the technique that it completely empties out. This passive ability consumes chakra at a very slow rate constantly, even when not in combat. Luckily Yamato's chakra pool is large enough to sustain it. This ability works through getting hurt - as strange as it may sounds - converting damage done to the user and turning it into raw power. In effect, that means that 'more damage input = more damage output' in simple terms. Muscles are stimulated by the damage, as well as the psychological will to fight on. This allows Yamato to press on past his normal limits - which were already extraordinarily high - and keep fighting even with broken bones, torn muscles or large gaping wounds. The drawbacks to this are, ofcourse, that he's going to be less accurate and skillfull, but more powerful. In short attacks will be more powerful but he'll have a harder time hitting, ofcourse that depends largely on the type of wounds too. That's not to say that he heals them instantly - if he receives a mortal wound, he'll die pretty much if he doesn't receive treatment regardless of the jutsu. But receiving wounds does make him stronger, both in how he feels and how he actually is. It doesn't make him less mortal - but he sees him self as a God. Would he believe he's still mortal? Jutsu name: Minamoru-shi: Chakurabāsuto (Minamoru Clan: Chakra Burst, チャクラバースト) Rank: A Range: 5m-10m Description: Releasing one fourth of the chakra stored in his pool for the Nokori Onaji technique, he releases a pure burst of chakra out of his entire body, causing a shockwave of chakra. This shockwave can extend between 5m and 10m, dependant on how large his pool currently is. The shockwave is powerful enough to send shinobi that don't hold themselves down on the ground flying, sending lightweights (80<kg.) flying atleast 20 meters at high speed, and sending heavyweights (80>kg.) stumbling out of the shockwave area. Objects are sent flying away too, such as kunai, leaves and other random items in the area. The jutsu isn't incredibly damaging on it's own, dependant on objects in the area. For instance, in an empty dirt field, there'll be no objects to send flying, and no objects for the enemy to crash into. So, damage will be reduced to perhaps some light scraping from scraping on the ground. In a forest, or a densely built in city, the damage will be more extensive, given that the enemy might fly into trees, rocks, buildings, roadsigns, etcetera. Jutsu name: Katon: Great Fire Fists Rank: A Range: Close Description: The technique begins by creating a short series of seals ended by a Tiger seal - although since this is Yamato's signature move, he has perfected it to the point where he doesn't need to form the seals any longer. After this the user flicks his wrists and they are set ablaze. Not yet taking a shape the user must focus the chakra around this area for a short period, in the case of Yamato a second or two. After this is done the fire becomes hotter, akin to a bunsenburner in heat, and the fire will take the color blue as a result. The resulting heat is enough to roast skin even if it's not touching the fire, and enough to severely burn anyone that gets in direct contact with the flames, enough to cause third degree (yes, that hot) burns when you get directly hit by a punch of this technique. Anyone standing nearby Yamato will feel the heat emenating off of the boy, whether they are friend or foe, before he leaps into the battle. The fire takes the shape of a lions head, akin to the two guarding lions that stand outside most wealthy places or places of public interest. Jutsu name: Katon: Great Fire Extraction Rank: A Range: Close Description: Yaoku's Revenge sets the user ablaze for a short time, appearing to others as an explosion. In reality it works as a distraction, while the user cocks his hand back which is then lit ablaze. The single hand will be heated up so much, that it overpowers even the Fists of a Tiger technique, heating up to the extent where it will be able to melt both skin, muscle and bone. The intensity of the technique requires so much chakra that it is pretty much useable only thrice. After the required heat is reached, a matter of seconds for Yamato, the user lunges forwards through the explosion he caused himself and launched his fist into the enemy, melting skin first, then fat and muscle, and finally bone before the hand cools down. If used effectively, and the hit connects, it will be a tremendous attack able to incapacitate or kill most enemies. But it requires accuracy, something that is often lacking when an enemy is moving around, and also because the explosion caused by Yamato would obscure his vision. Besides that, the attack leaves him rather exhausted, so that he'd have to retreat from the fight, something that Yamato could obviously never do. As such it's likely for him to overexert himself after using this technique. Jutsu name: Katon: Great Fire Bind Rank: B Range: 10 meter in front of Yamato Description: To be used in conjuction with the Great Fire Extraction technique, but useable on it's own too. This technique is not neccesarily a fighting technique, the sole technique in Yamato's arsenal that isn't focussed 100% on the offense. However it is used as a runner up to a very offensive move. After forming a boar and tiger seal, the user holds the tiger seal while a set of 2 fiery hands emerge from his back, quickly coming out at a rapid speed. These hands will head for the enemy almost instinctively, and grab the enemy by the arm. Once grabbed it will be virtually impossible to get out lest you have a teammate that is able to free you or you work out a genius way to break free. Because the hands are made of flames you will receive slight burning although the burns will not be harmful whatsoever, akin to a D rank fire jutsu if not less harmful. The true fear you should have.. is the follow up jutsu. There is a slight reaction time between being grabbed and the start of the technique, around 1.5 seconds, but dodging will only end up causing the hands to chase you for a longer time. The only true escape is to get out of the 10 meter mark, but that will be hard with just 1.5 second to escape. It's possible for ninja's with above average jutsu, however. Another weakness, aside from it's length, is it's weakness to both water and earth defensive jutsu, such as the earthen walls or the water techniques that send out half an ocean. Using wind or fire against these hands is nearly useless, matter of fact it's counter productive because adding more fire to the arms will have no effect, while using wind based jutsu on them will fuel the flames, speeding them up even more. Electrical jutsu are useless, too, because electricity will go through the hands. An extraordinarily fast shinobi (read: faster than Yamato) will be able to dodge the hands initially and then attack quickly after if he times it right, because attacking Yamato and forcing him to release the tiger seal will stop the jutsu. However, if Yamato moves but still holds the seal, the jutsu will continue. The time it takes to form the hands and attempt to grab the opponent is all within 1 post, but the actual act of grabbing depends on it being dodged/ran away from, and as such can only happen in the 2nd post. Jutsu name: Fuuton: Greater Fire Fists Rank: C Range: N/A. Description: Technically not a technique on it's own, but still classified as one, the user will not have to form any seals, instead he simply has to augment fuuton chakra in his fists and release it into his fists of the Fire Fist jutsu. Due to Fuuton acting as 'fuel' (fuel for fire is oxygen, a source and burnable material) the fire will begin to burn even hotter, turning the fire blue and causing the area it's used in to appear 'darker' or closer to nightfall. This is due to the bright source of light making the environments appear darker than they really are simply because of the contrast or difference in lightsources. Even on a blue sky, clear lit day it will appear as if it were 00:00 midnight. The fists of the Fire-tiger will burn so hot, the radius at which the heat can be felt greatly expands and even those standing close to Yamato during the usage of this will feel uncomfortably warm, and if they stay near long enough, might begin getting a serious sunburn. The main effect also increases, still holding onto the 3rd degree burns upon connecting a hit, but adding in the additional fuuton element of a highly increased knockback and a cutting effect, too. You will go flying most definetely when you get hit by this augmented technique, sending lighter opponents up to 100m away and heavy, fat opponents at a weight of 200kg about 30 meters. Furthermore, there will be slight cuts, as if you got hit by 20 kunai at once. Ofcourse, that's all superficial wounds - nothing life threatening, but definetely painful. Like most nintaijutsu, this is extemely destructive, but exerting at the same time. There is no real weakness to this technique, as it's not really a technique to begin with but more so an augmentation or reinforcement of another. As such, weaknesses of the Fists of the Tiger still exist, such as suiton jutsu or defensive doton jutsu. Even so, the usage of this extra fuuton jutsu will allow the user to simply brute-force his way past many of these jutsu anyway, most notably doton. Suiton will always be a problem for fire users and this technique is no exception. Jutsu name: Katon: Great Fire Bomb Rank: B Range: 7.5m Description: This technique is a secret trump card held in high regard by the Minamoru clan. Not many outside of the clan know of it, because it's a rather rough technique on both the victim and the user. The users can begin this technique by forming the Tiger seal, after which it cannot be stopped anymore. The user envelops themself in flames, starting out akin to any other fire technique and indistinguishable at this time, looking rather harmless. However this all leads to an explosion. An explosion of the user itself into fiery death. In essence it's a fiery suicide technique that will blow up the user plus anything within 3.5m of the technique, and will damage anything up to 7.5m around the technique. The bad side? If you use this technique you die. Jutsu name: Minamoru-shi: Jisatsu-ryō (Minamoru Clan: Suicide Charge, 自殺料) Rank: B Range: 50m. Description: Utilizing his Futoon element, the user 'boosts' his speed quickly by displacing air in front of him towards his back, to travel quicker similar to how an airplane gains lift. However, this technique isn't fast enough to create lift and neither is Yamato shaped in order to create lift.. However, this will give him speed. Using this speed the use pummels himself into the enemy ranks, most likely a larger group of enemies. The head on charge manifests itself into simply crashing into the enemies with limbs extended, punching left and right to get as many hits in as possible. Defense is NOT a part of Yamato's vocabulary. This can be easily protected against by, say, creating an obstacle like a doton-sphere to protect yourself/you friends (if you're friendly like that.) 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Backpack. Weapon, tool or object type: It's.. a backpack. Possibly filled with explosive tags. Description: It's a fucking explosive backpack bomb. Bag-o-bombs. EASY.
51,187	1,381	94	985	319	Nori Hisakawa Red Sages Nori was attentive for the meeting, albeit quiet, although he couldn't help but raise an amused eyebrow at Mikoto upon his declaration of giving the Uchiha girl a "beautiful death," as he so eloquently put it. Arrogant and confident, just as he had fought in the field. It reminded him a little bit of his younger training, back before Kirigakure was leveled by the war. Yes, time had soothed the bloodlust instilled in their shinobi, but they certainly didn't try to make them as gentle as Konohagakure's. He subconsciously ran a tongue over his teeth; pointed. Somewhere among his ancestors there was one of the old Seven Swordsmen, and it garnered a good amount of attention from his teachers. Son of a talented hunter-nin and that made you a popular guy among jounin. Considering how adequately he had fought in the Hiding in Mist, perhaps the redhead was from the area as well. Not that it made much difference. His thoughts were properly realigned as soon as Seijo slapped down the clipboards and laid down the law. She went to what seemed like the most important mission first. Going straight into enemy territory to steal Madara Uchiha's Gunbai and Sasuke Uchiha's chokuto. Well that certainly sounded like a rough time, and he wasn't surprised that it was her own mission. No doubt she'd be bringing her highest class shinobi along to-- “Yudai, Nori and god forbid Anzai. You're all with me." There was a part of Nori that wanted her to hurry and finish so he could interject. After his subpar performance on the last mission, which consisted of keeping an eye on the back lines, helping a handful of Red Sages, and nearly getting put out by some Hyuga runt trying to save Mikoto. All he had to show for it was some information she didn't really care about, and a flamboyant braggart. But... He slipped up his scarf a bit and let himself smile a little wider than usual behind the cloth, and the slight ache in his side seemed to go away of its own accord. Two legendary weapons for the Red Sages, right out from under the Confederate's noses? How could I pass up something this exhilarating? Nori thought to himself, a little more excited than he expected of himself. He didn't dawdle after the meeting, heading straight back to his room to prepare. A fresh mail, leggings, sandals. He usually didn't bring along shuriken and kunai, but he went ahead procured a few and set a pouch aside. He considered sitting down right then and getting to work on fixing up another spare naginata for tomorrow, but he felt an ache in his stomach that finally wasn't from getting smacked. They had been out on an intensive mission for a good portion of the evening, and his appetite had caught up with him. He was still dressed as he had been for the meeting, so he didn't need to dawdle and clean up as he went to the mess hall and grabbed himself a basic meal, idly noticing Seijo talking to another shinobi. Anzai, was it? He hadn't memorized everyone's names yet, sans Mikoto, Yudai, and Katsuko (hard to not recognize him). Well, might as well try to make himself look a little more competent to Seijo, and meet Anzai properly. He went ahead and made his way over to join the two of them, missing her speech, although she seemed rather stern about whatever she had said. "If I'm not interrupting, may I join the two of you? We may as well have a meal together before we fight together."	“Sacrifice yourself to do one good thing, or live on to do many? Think about it.” Standing at about 5'11" and weighing in at 150~lb, Nori is tall, lean shinobi, with an air of thoughtful relaxation about him. His bluish-black hair is trimmed slightly shorter than in the picture above, keeping the bangs out of his eyes, and the length in the back about halfway down the neck. His skin is rather pale, with sharp grey eyes, and slightly pointed teeth reminiscent of the Seven Ninja Swordsman of the Mist. Attire-wise; in battle, he forgoes a flak jacket, instead settling for a chain mesh under a loose, sleeveless blue shirt, black shin-length pants, standard issue black sandals, arm-guards, and his dark blue scarf tucked into the back of his shirt; a worn Kirigakure plate is attached to the end of this. Out of battle, his attire is much more modern; while he still sticks to wearing blue out of habit, he often dresses in semi-casual suit jackets, button-up shirts, slacks, and sneakers, varying to weather and situation as necessary. The only consistency is the dark-blue scarf, kept with him regardless of occasion. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Nori is an analytical type. Even in casual conversations, he will take long periods of time to listen thoroughly to what the other(s) have to say before replying, replying only when he has found something worthwhile to say in response. He's often relaxing to be around because of this trait; you'll almost never be interrupted or ignored, and especially those needing to blow off some steam will drift to him. The responses are where that line becomes less clear-cut. His honesty in his responses, and the depth he might go to analyze a statement, can lead to starting an argument that never needed to happen, or worsening an existing one. Not everyone likes hearing the truth. He doesn't seem to regret these situations, since the problem wasn't his fault in the first place. Some people think he's arrogant because of this aloofness, and they wouldn't be wrong. He'll become frustrated if people challenge his analysis, and even moreso if he happens to have made a mistake in his interpretation of the situation in the first place. Being such a good listener though, sometimes he has trouble starting conversations, or holding them. He doesn't really have the social drive to keep up small talk for very long, and he also dislikes having to talk about himself. It takes work for him to honestly feel like opening up to anyone, and he grows extremely uncomfortable talking about himself or his past. Which leads to a conflict of interests; if he can talk to you about your problems, why can't he talk to you about his own? 【History】 Nori is the only son of his parents, a non-shinobi father and a hunter-nin mother, in the unsteady Kirigakure village. With the years preceding the era of peace from the Hamajō Confederation, his mother was hardly ever home for the boy, constantly performing missions, be they for the village, or against its defectors. No questions asked has always been the terms of the Hidden Mist though, and so he simply smiled and nodded when his father constantly praised her mother as a hero, regardless of how dirty her job was. Even when she did return though, she never doted on him, unlike how he saw other mothers do with their children. She simply enjoyed the brief tranquility that would come between her missions as much as possible, and Nori accepted the exhaustion that came with his mother, the "hero." As he grew into his Academy years, he himself trained diligently in the Academy, to become a "great hero" like his scarcely seen mother, and succeeded; he was quiet, talented, and most importantly, obedient. What he also learned however, is how to be an outcast; children in times of war are never settled, and they found every reason to question why his father wasn't a shinobi, and tease that maybe his mother wouldn't come back this time. He simply let them speak and continued his training; his father did everything he could as a parent, and his mother was a hero. He didn't have the nerve to question them early on, and didn't care once he understood later. Even after learning of just what the job of hunter-nin entailed, well, it was just another grisly duty, and he would be more than willing to follow his mother's footsteps in that role. And then, during his graduating year at the Academy, the war hit a terrifying peak for Kirigakure--the destruction of the village. People scattered. Most died. Nori and his family were of the lucky ones; they managed to get out before the devastation, finding themselves heading north across the water to the Land of Lightning, and the new Kumo Province. For a long time, neither of them knew where his mother was. His father took up the task of farming, struggling to get by in the lackluster area. Nori didn't know what to do. He had been following in his mother's footsteps, but how could he join a military that let their home be destroyed and separated him from his "hero?" His decision would be solidified several years later, after the Hamajō Confederation had settled in. After the destruction of Kirigakure, his mother had been lost. She didn't know what had happened to her family. She thought them likely dead, herself being another lucky one, sent over to the Land of Fire on her most recent task. The loss of home, the loss of family...she ended up with some of the scattered armies, and eventually decided that she would fight against the power that couldn't protect her anymore; she joined the would-be Red Sages, and eventually got herself killed for it. Family connections were made. The Confederation came to his father's farm, looking for intel on the Red Sages. Neither of them knew anything about what had happened after Kirigakure, and after some extremely stern interrogation, decided that refugees fled to Kumo wouldn't know what happened to a traitor last seen near Konoha. "Traitor." That was the term that had solidified his decision. There had to be a reason; she had been a hunter-nin. Her duty: to track down rogue shinobi, the traitors. She had to know the consequences of becoming the hunted, so the reason for her supposed defection had to have some meaning behind it. He thought it over, and decided to continue her fight. His father never questioned it; he was a grown man now, and his decision was his own. He would join the Red Sages, and fight the real traitors. 【Family ties】 Nori grew up in a single-father middle-class household, with his mother visiting only once every several months during her time of service after she got herself off of maternity leave. He has no siblings. After the destruction of Kirigakure, he lived in near-poverty with his single father, and never saw his mother again. Naozumi Hisakawa \| Father \| 50, Kumogakure, farmer.

While the effect is immediate and intense though, it's reliant on how wet the opponent is; if they've been successfully dodging techniques, or happen to be in heavy armor, they likely won't be affected significantly. Likewise, managing to sufficiently dry themselves will remove the effect, and as with all genjutsu, if they are aware it's the illusion of loss of sensation, then they can mentally force themselves to overcome it if possible. The strength of the technique is its subtlety and range, the weakness being its ease of avoidance. Jutsu name: Water Release: Seashell Current Discord Rank: B Range: Mid to long-range Description: An audio genjutsu, in which the user releases a quick jet of water from their mouth onto anything nearby. Those hearing any noise the jet of water creates, such as its impact, will begin hearing only the noise they heard the genjutsu create, be it a splash on another body of water, against a tree, etc., essentially cutting off their ability to hear. In combination with the Hiding in Mist Technique, it can be crippling to have one of your other means of locating your opponent crippled. The strength of the genjutsu lies in it's simplicity of execution and subtlety. The weaknesses lie in the lack of physical hindrance; the opponent is not incapacitated in any other way, and it can be avoided by not hearing the initial noise, and the technique can be overcome with sufficient time/chakra control. Jutsu name: Kingdom of the Eastern Seas Rank: A Range: Short Description: The user clasps their hand at an opponent's throat or forehead while casting the genjutsu, after which, the victim will be under the illusion of being dragged to the bottom of the ocean floor; painful, crushing water pressure, asphyxiation, no light, and no sound. These effects persist until the caster of the genjutsu releases their hand from the opponent, or loses the ability to channel the chakra. The weakness of the technique lies in its extremely close range, especially so with the need to grasp something as usually well-protected as a head or neck. The strength lies in the fast effects and sheer intensity of the genjutsu, crippling all senses at once, incapacitating most in short order. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Customized Naginata Description: A 5 foot long bright grey naginata, with the bottom half able to collapse into the top to make it a more efficient weapon at extremely close range, as well as the tsuba consisting of a hardened rubber disk, to insulate electricity coming through the blade, knowing that his exclusive use of water techniques makes him quite vulnerable to an electric discharge. The coloration is exclusively for blending in with the Hiding in Mist Technique, to make the weapon harder to see. Okay, just threw it in over the post I had to "delete" before.
51,188	1,381	95	2,089	1,979	Yakoul Kakariko The Confederation's General of Armed Forces Military Establishement - Staff Lounge - Sunagakure The first to talk was the comedian of the group, Tanji, who from the start fiddled with the concept of Yakoul's gender. Something the feline would be quite used to by then, but the silliness of the intelligence agent's way of engaging with his superior prompted Yakoul to roll its eyes. "Just ... Call me Boss." Brushing its face in annoyance before yawning in the rudest way possible, it kept staring awkwardly at Tanji who seemed to have finished his little story when in the 11th Corps. The general grinned at a small piece of information the man gave it, the part about interrogation, just the man for the job they were going to undertake the following day, all three of them. Swiftly, the cat person got on its feet, off the sofa and went along to grab itself some coffee. "So you liked it there huh? I didn't. Piece of shit white room, absent of any fucking thing to do other than wait for some incompetent idiot to find intel we likely know about. But but but, I gotta admit, your interrogation skills are giving me a raging boner." It grabbed the transparent coffee kettle and instead of pouring it on a nearby mug like any normal person, it chugged directly from the container only to drop it while screaming hysterically. It coughed for a few seconds, coffee now covered the floor it was stepping on. "Ahhhh fuck fuck fuckeddy fuck! Why is this shit so HOT oh my GOD!" Pissed off, it smacked the table's foot lightly before marching in circles as it rubbed the back of its head, evidently making a fool out of itself. It didn't help that Kanata added into the problem by downright mocking her superior by getting a little to comfortable with its hospitality. With the nickname 'Neko-sama', it was over. It slowly walked over to her, as it would always do, its tail swaying from left to right as would a provoked cat. It kept silent, quickly adding a whole lot more tension to the room. "Keeping my mouth shut? The Cat?" Before even giving a chance for Kanata to even attempt to apologize, the swaying tail used its limber and light form to swiftly deliver a brutal slap across her cheek. Kanata would feel as though she had received one of the most violent slaps of her life, the strength comparable to a large man's with massive hands. Yakoul had its arms crossed and frowned somewhat after delivering the strike at the young girl. It didn't feel bad for her, it was just annoyed that its good mood was cut short by all of the bullshit that had just happened. "I do respect those two footballs you have as balls, but a minimal of motherfucking respect is in fucking order little cunt. I'm the boss. Not fucking NEKO-SAMA." Sighing after establishing this, it would regain it normal expression and crack its jaw before resuming what it initially started. "I forgive you this time. Anyway, I ain't gonna hide it, us three are going to visit a very suspicious someone. I'll need your skills and your balls to handle this fuckery. So hopefully by tomorrow ... You two won't be as tense. I mean, I do think a master - subordinate relationship should be held highly. We can tell each other anything, right? Am I motherfucking right?!" It gave an ominous look at both of them. It evidently smelled their anxiety, because it was a weird animal thing but also because it was a pretty skilled shinobi as well. It would sit itself back on the couch and enter a more relaxed posture, arms both extended on the back of the sofa. "So, got any questions for ol' fucking me? About the mission or my retarded self?"	Spode's Magical Character Emporium of Wonders V.2! DLC pack Coming soon. Buy Season Pass Now! “I'm gon' fuck me some motherfuckers.” 1m75 - 72 KG At first glance, it is almost impossible to not have any preconception regarding Yakoul's normal appearance, an issue that costed the lives of many. Yakoul looks like the typical cat-human people see in various media and have bizarre fantasies about, though the reasons behind its current for are a lot less fantastic. Everyone notices the white cat ears and the long tail, which various in size for no apparent reason, and would usually dumb it down as 'too cute to be threatening'. That's until they see its teeth. Otherwise it can also alternate its cat pupils, usually forming them when in combat. They're orange regardless of the form. Now that the kitty aspects are out, the next issue is ... Well the rest. Its silhouette is completely androgynous. Somewhat curvy bottom part but facial traits that look more like a young male teen's than a female's. Its chest appears to look more like pectoral muscles than breasts. The hair style doesn't help either, being short and curly/messy. Its gender will always remain a dark enigma those in the Confederation hope to crack some day. Or not. Freaks. In terms of attire, it wields a navy blue, long sleeved shirt with golden buttons in the center. An orange pair of shorts to keep its legs warm along with long, same colored socks that nearly reach the knees. It does not wear sandals, ever, but a pair of navy blue shoes it can easily slide on its feet without having to deal with laces or velcro. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Yakoul earned the title of War hero and trump card of the Confederation's army 11 years ago because of its genius regarding the Art of War and overall capabilities in the field. A lot of it is true, as Yakoul has never backed down from a fight (doesn't mean it never lost), winning against any type of individual conceivable, whether they are intelligent, dumb, strong or frail, it always found a way. This much praise made it a main figure to the Confederation's political and social life, despite all of it being based on prestige told by the Confederation itself. Many know of how ruthless Yakoul is, breaking the 'cute cat' image it once had, but the details remain rather vague and exclusive to inner circles. In truth, although it wields the willpower and charm of an extremely successful warlord, it is undeniably an unpredictable force of malice no one other than the top ruler of the Confederation has managed to tame. It holds the nickname of monster for a reason for anyone who has actively been an obstacle to the feline has lived the merciless and downright cruel fury of the beast. Only through tactical advantage does it show mercy, otherwise it has no qualms in exposing its perverted and sick mind to those it simply wants to rob something from. Ironically, apart from war, it is an individual completely absent of common sense. Mundane activities are engaged in the most eccentric and downright surreal fashion with this critter. Despite emitting one of the most foul presences in the entire world, it has a surprising way of illuminating rooms for people it shares a sense of camaraderie with to avoid getting bored. Indeed, it has a terribly thin attention span. Speaking of comrades actually, as monstrous as it may be, it built itself a rationale that gives actual human value to its close colleagues, only to use their deaths as a catalyst to fill itself with anger and many other emotions to slaughter superior enemies. Does it feel something when someone close dies? Sure, and it knows it, hence why it uses it. Keeping up with unpredictability, its behavior has been deemed so sporadic, it is impossible to truly form a friendship with it. Now the reason being that as much as it enjoys messing around when in free time or just during transition phases in a conflict, one thing will get it to laugh while another almost completely identical will earn the instigator an impromptu vasectomy. Needless to say, many have come and left Yakoul's squad not because of the intense battlefield, but by the insane moodswings. Did I mention its intuition? If it has a bad feeling about you, prepare to have a bad time. Needless to say, ti remains a really good judge of character, as would be any leader. This deserves the final paragraph and serves as a warning to everyone. Profanity is its mother tongue and has a very horrible accent when speaking. In most sentences, it will enter a pointless swear, and this increases depending on how passionate it gets. Add to that a shamelessly crude attitude and we have the most foul individual in the Confederation as one would expect. It doesn't always insert swear words, but they seem to illustrate quite well what its intentions are most of the time. 【History】 Yakoul has lived far longer than most people on this earth, all thanks to the inherited powers of its supposed 'cursed' clan. It didn't feel all that bad to it, quite the contrary, it got eternal life all to itself. The feline essentially saw history happen before it, not that it did much to actually archive it or even remember, it was just there, existing and eating whatever it attacked in a village, whether it be livestock, pet or people. Like many of its clan, it terrified the populace because of its jumps of rage and general disregard for their lives. Yeah no, Yakoul isn't this dual-personality type. It always lived as if its surges of violence were just it being in a bad mood rather than lack of control. Decades went on and it would only be when encountering a group a very strange looking individuals, nothing like those annoying shinobi that were sometimes a little too hard to kill. They were strong, but also quite tasty looking, and Yakoul liked that a lot. Wanting a piece of these people, its blood would quickly be rust to the blades of the leader's right hand. The animal didn't beg for mercy, but rather stared at the dominant being of the group, fantasizing on how it would have been great to have that body all to itself in its cavern. It was not because of its potential that it was spared, however, but because of its amusing appearance. The monster that would eventually be one of the pivotal figures in the war was recruited for looking somewhat like a cat. Well, "recruited", it served as decor for the leader's luxurious tastes. It wouldn't be until the first days of war that Yakoul would prove its worth as more than just a soldier. At first, it was simply sent on small missions due to its enhanced senses and general aggressiveness toward foes. It didn't mind, it had free food and could rip anything to shreds when asked. Doing dirty work was just a small repayment. Its talents as a war leader flourished when confronted to its first ambush. Somewhat devoid of extreme intelligence, it mixed what it learned through living so long and instinct to divide strategies to minimize losses. Though this time it was actual comrades and not food something it would protect in some cave or stolen house. Few casualties and a need to make a profanity filled speech to pump its men, Yakoul was given the title of General. Why? Because the leader could, not that it really earned it or anything. It just made its superior happy and proved its worth. Many events during the war were under its leadership, and generally it kept the upper hand and quickly understood the art of war. One could say it was more or less its destiny to hold such a position as it lived in relatively poor countries where small conflicts were rampant and only through strategy was survival possible. What would mark Yakoul as a war hero would be how it led its men to the doors of Konoha and in three days time, murdered with its bare hands the leader of the 11th Corp, the equivalent of Root at the time. Fujitora Choko was killed, and Ayame Choko, the Hokage, would have the same visit by Yakoul. Many speculate that Ayame was never there to begin with, but soldiers attest that Yakoul had killed her as well. Of course, victors are the ones who write history, so even knows if this whole damn history section is legit and not me making a BS Shyamalan on you? Thought so. After the war, Yakoul's been ... Quiet. Simply because the Red Sages have been too sporadic for it to actually care enough. It is mostly seen in public events with its master or simply to keep itself entertained. 【Family ties】 It doesn't have any known relatives. Unless you count every stray cat in the world. The Great President \| Master and Pet \| N/A - Amegakure Capital 【Dreams and fears】 Yakoul dreams to simply do whatever it wants the next day. As of now, it fights for its master in a more zealous manner than anything. But if its superior were to die, it could very well change its passion on a whim. As of now, it simply wanted to endlessly fight the rebels, over and over, and hopefully even die a horrible death at their hands. Not that it actively tries to die, it's simply a fantasy. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Swift and deadly. Yakoul's fight have often been rather quick, or at least when it decides to go on the offensive anyway. Most of the time it falls on taunts and easily evades and/or blocks strikes it can see coming beforehand. Easily finding the flaws in the techniques employed by the opposition, when confident enough it can end it, Yakoul will strike where it hurts the most. This of course depends on the caliber of the opponent, as those who prove to be a lot more keen on their moves will force the beast to actually prod something out of them with actual violence. When in its lethal mindset, it greatly utilizes its strong tail as a third member to gain an easy advantage on the enemy, as well as keep many of its abilities a 'surprise' for the enemy to discover. Because of this, it prioritizes close quarters combat 3/4 times, especially considering its Jutsu pool. The issue with it fighting longer and longer, however, is that it slowly loses patience and lets its more berserk state take hold, pushing Yakoul to lose a decent thought process out of anger and sheer brutality. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Juugo's Clan Kekkei Genkai Description: Many consider this Kekkei Genkai as the cheap counterpart of the Sage mode. Yakoul would of course strongly disagree. To start off with the basics, this KG enables the wielder to passively absorb Senjutsu Chakra (Natural Energy) all the time, leaving it with some pretty gargantuan chakra pools. The effects can often be dumbed down to bursts of anger and berserk states, but Yakoul has since grown accustomed to it. However, bien exposed to it for so long, it has developed animal-like traits similar to beings untrained in Sage Art that have absorbed too much Senjutsu chakra. In this case, it acquired feline traits. It is also the cause of Yakoul's massive longevity and seemingly eternal youth. Because it is mostly under control, Yakoul can freely manipulate its own body and expose select parts to 'curse' with his Sage Transformation. Essentially, it can manipulate the form of its body, sprout wings or grow axe blades on its forearms. The possibilities are massive, as long as they aren't too exaggerated. Chakra cannons are also a dominant trait in the Sage Transformation. Generally users of this KG can tank massive blows that prowl through their flesh and pierce their members without an issue as seen when Juugo not only had a massive hole in his arm but also his chest and recovered without an issue. However the more this ability is used, the less coherent the thought process Yakoul's approaches will be. As much as it is used to it, it will eventually lose grip and wildly attack anything if battles push it too far. Withering down Yakoul's endurance makes it the best tactic to make it a lot more dangerous and violent, but also more predictable and easily deceived. Strengths: The KG offers overwhelmingly high amounts of chakra as well as access to natural energy. Naturally users have immense strength, which only increases when enhancing certain parts of their bodies (easily rivals CES). Resilience and a particularly versatile movepool are probably the biggest strengths in there. The added bulk of the sage transformation can be compensated with the chakra jets. Weaknesses: Surprisingly has few, but the lack of control through continuous use is rather exploitable. When transformed, whether it is berserk or not, the moves appear to be more predictable and easy to anticipate, in exchange for simply more destructive power. 【Ninja techniques】 S rank techniques: 1 Compulsory Subjugation A rank techniques: 3 My Favorite Cancer Perfect Symbiosis Enhanced Scales B rank techniques: 4 Super Mega Ultra Go to Hell Cannons Fire Cannon Dash Genjutsu: Cat and Mouse Suffocating Haze C rank techniques: 5 Up yours: Style One Swiisssshhhhh Shotgun Special Lil' Sluggers Regeneration Absorption D-E rank techniques: 3 Hiding in Surface Technique Overwhelming Killing Intent Yakoul's Juinjutsu 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: I'm just fucking better than you! (Also known as Compulsory Subjugation) Rank: S Range: 0 - 50m Description: As Yakoul's Trump card, Compulsory Subjugation is a tool it prefers to use in very specific scenarios and often saves it as a 'Grand Finale' for people like Souji Tametomo. It manifests itself in three tentacle-like appendages emerging from Yakoul's spine with only the tips being of a completely black color, the rest remaining beige/gray like the typical KG transformation. They all hold tremendous strength with the capability of slapping away boulders with one alone and they can strength up to 50 meters. Though as strong as they may be, they remain easy to cut like flesh and inflict gargantuan pain to Yakoul when cut, and even more when being reattached or regenerating, thus forcing its stamina to plummet. But its greatest strength doesn't lie there. The tips are where the ability shines. They are ridiculously sharp, but can still be blocked by robust defenses. Of course once they manage to actually inflict damage, here the fun begins. If one were to be simply scratched by the tentacle, they could have a small piece of Yakoul's flesh in them, not big enough to be game breaking, but enough to bond with their flesh and bone of the area. A large amount of pain occurs as the incompatible flesh acts like a cancer and forces the muscles to tense and twist on each other. If done on an arm or leg, the bones would easily snap and rend the member worthless but it would end there (except for the pain), while if on the body, the organs run the risk of being completely ripped to shreds. The solution is simple, stab the area that was cut, the bleeding will cause a lot of the Sage Transformation flesh to ooze out. The blood loss won't be enough to kill but will render largely ineffective. That's if they can close the wound. If the tentacle is stabbed, however. Everything changes. Large amounts of Yakoul's own flesh is injected in the body, ripping apart muscles and bones as they go, essentially making it a game over unless a third party severs the appendage before it can completely possess the body. Immediate medical treatment can held control this, though the victim is decommissioned. If Yakoul possesses the individual entirely and destroys them from the inside out, they will evidently die. But only to revive as a mindless beast under Yakoul's command, like a pet. They would be possessed by the Sage Transformation entirely, looking exactly like the second stage transformation. They can use the same abilities they once had, barring tactics. The only escape would be death, unless some miracle doctor finds a cure. cough Jutsu name: My Favorite Cancer Rank: A Range: N/A Description: Similar to the Fission Technique, the function is similar, however it is interconnected with the Sage Kekkei Genkai. Essentially Yakoul splits itself physically to produce two teen-like Yakoul. I can go up two four with small kid versions. They are generally physically weaker as they go along and divide, as well as simply having weaker abilities (And the S rank Technique sealed). However they are capable of gathering natural energy individually and slowly grow. When divided by two, about 5 posts are needed for both Yakoul to be fully grown, 8 (4 to be teen sized) for the smaller one. When destroyed, they turn into puddles of flesh that glues itself back into a fission clone, giving back the chakra. When split they can't have more chakra than the average individual unlike a full Yakoul who can have an overwhelmingly high surplus. After 5 posts where they're fully grown, they're forced back into one Yakoul as the technique expires. Jutsu name: Perfect Symbiosis, Bitch. Rank: A Range: 150 KM Description: One could call this an extremely advanced version of sensory, but it really is a mastery of Senjutsu chakra to the extent where someone incapable of being a Sage could master it. Yakoul becomes 'One' spiritually with nature, which is everywhere, making it almost completely undetectable by sensors. Its chakra can be seen by Sharingan, Rinnegan and Byakugan, but locating Yakoul is extremely difficult in long distances. The only exceptions are either Sages or those with this ability (or equivalent). But this also gives a tremendous advantage in sensory skills for Yakoul. When actively using this ability, its pupils dilate like a cat's as it uses natural energy as a powerful sensory ability for both extremely long ranges and close range. When going long range, it is mostly good for finding very specific chakra signatures and presences in remote areas as well a detecting who is in what area and how many beings there are there. When in close range, it can essentially take over for sight and sound as it gives a very precise input on what approches, what form it has and how fast it is moving. Its enhanced sense of smell and hearing usually compliment the job perfectly. Jutsu name: Awesome as shit Scales Rank: A Range: Personal Description: Developed after killing Fujitora Choko, Yakoul decided to innovate a bit defensively, and thus also evolve offensively, by taking elements from the Heavenly Blood. Here, it must use Sage Transformation before this becomes possible. Yakoul is capable of having 'scales' rapidly grow on affected parts of its body by concentrating both senjutsu chakra and stamina to make them steel-hard. Indeed, it affects both the physical and chakra state of the user, making it something that can't be entirely recovered by passive natural energy absorbing. These can easily block non-enhanced weapons and take multiple hits from those. It takes stronger Ninjutsu to break through. The seconde usage it has requires a lot less stamina, almost none, but it loses all of its value. Using a bit of wind chakra on its pores, Yakoul can simply fire these scales in large waves like large, diamond-shaped kunai in a direction it chooses without actually moving. Being made of chakra they have higher piercing capability, but they are somewhat slower and more predictable than the ninja tools. Their strength mostly lie on the being ejected from anywhere at anytime. Jutsu name: Fire Cannon Dash Rank: B Range: 30m - 100m Description: A simple technique that utilises both Fire release and the Juugo clan's cannons. In this technique they're generally on the back and the elbows and take en entire post to charge with heat. Yakoul can still do whatever during that post except for cannon usage, but the increase in energy is very apparent. In the next post it can choose to either keep the cannons red hot for up to three turns before releasing the technique, and during that wait it can use cannon abilities but with a 50% penalty in power. When it it used however, Yakoul can travel between 30m to 100m in speeds that rival even body flicker, all the while being in control of its body. However it can only travel in a straight line, making somewhat predictable the first go, but extremely lethal if not ready. Jutsu name: Genjutsu: Cat and Mouse Rank: B Range: Sight and Sound Description: Yakoul's only real Genjutsu other than the basic stuff, which uses both visual and sound queues to make it exceptionally difficult to pinpoint. Here it will sway its tail from left to right while applying it, those who simply look at Yakoul will see the tail move regardless if they focus on it. The Yin chakra already has its effect and simply needs an activation. The sound required is a simply crack of its jaw, something it does all too often in a fight, whether it applies it or not. Breaking free is the typical methods, but it doesn't make one immune to it. The effects are simple, once affected, the perception of the victim is severely flawed. They will feel as though they are seeing through the eyes of a mouse, or any small critter really and the whole environment, including Yakoul is giant. As such, all they would see would be a giant Yakoul attacking them, its massive movements easily covering their whole line of sight and making it horribly tedious to predict anything. Jutsu name: Suffocating Haze Rank: B Range: Description: Fusing Wind and Fire chakra, steam-like incense that covers a large amount of ground with Yakoul being the center of it all. When using this ability Yakoul cannot utilise its other cannon abilities. The effects are simple, it imposes a powerful heatwave in the whole field and a bit beyond really quickly with a slight haze to make visibility harder for others. Plants, even trees, die in the first seconds of the technique drying up almost anything, the insects follow shortly after and animals feel extremely dehydrated. Bigger summons also feel the huge toll as their big bodies are confiscated of a large amount of water, making them just as susceptible. Trained shinobi can withstand it easily, other lifeforms not so much. Water techniques suffer the most from it, bring mostly dried up and losing most of their strength. Lightning, because of wind chakra infused, become a little weaker but mostly inaccurate in both targeting and usage (chakra control is simply harder). Wind Techniques suffer a similar effect to Lightning, being eaten up by the fire aspect. Earth suffers more slowly, drying up and losing solidity eventually. Only Fire techniques are enhanced here to Yakoul's advantage. Lasts for five posts, cool down for five as well. Jutsu name: Shotgun Special Rank: C Range: Close, extends to about 10m Description: A wind based ability that is mostly non-lethal (unless you suck) which consists in releasing strong air pressure from the cannons protuding from Yakoul's body. The released pressure acts like a shotgun shell, extremely strong push back when in point black, but loses it strength as it goes along. The effect of distance really depends on the individual strength of each, but it's generally meant to keep people away in a pinch. Also useful to eject oneself really quickly into the air or to a direction. Jutsu name: Lil' Sluggers Rank: C Range: N/A Description: Yakoul uses a much weaker version of the Fission technique, letting a bit of its flesh drop on the ground and ignite thanks to fire chakra. It quickly hoards natural energy to grow into a child-sized humanoid golem, similar to Deidara's puppets, as they start charging in at whatever Yakoul wants gone. They can morph their limbs and bodies to an extent, forming blades and bizarre/flexible shapes. They're slow and somewhat predictable, but damaging them will result in more of them coming back. It is being completely destroying them into sufficiently small pierces that the flames covering them overpowers their regeneration and they just die. They're more of a very annoying distraction than anything. Jutsu name: Delicious Grub Rank: C Range: Close Description: This deserves some explaining. In a large battlefield full of NPC's, this technique essentially allows Yakoul to recover from non-fatal injuries easily as it barely requires any chakra and simply uses to heal its damaged body. So some specifications are needed. In order to fully absorb a body and heal major wounds it needs to be immobile for two posts, as in it can't move from that point, but can still use jutsu and so on to defend itself. Jutsu name: Overwhelming Killing Intent Rank: D Range: Up to 5 KM Description: Yakoul's aura is so foul and its chakra levels massive enough to have nearby individuals actually feel the pressure of its bloodlust on their shoulders. Only the strongest shinobi around will not fear a tint of fear as their natural instincts would force them to have when confronted to such a deadly predator. It is capable of using it from pretty big distances when it is stalking certain individuals to put them on their guard all the while destabilizing them. Jutsu name: Yakoul's Seal of Approval Rank: N/A Range: Personal Description: Almost exactly like Orochimaru's Curse Seal since it did come from the Kekkei Genkai after all. The Confederation saw great potential in this and made it possible for Yakoul to impose Juinjutsu on certain victims and disobedient followers. It doesn't spread it like free candy however, as it is also a source of power that could easily push unworthy individuals into berserk-like states and be an issue to society. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Tease Weapon, tool or object type: Claw Rings Description: A set of Claw Rings worn in every finger except the thumbs. Why? Because they're freaking cool. Also they're specially designed to have wind chakra channel out of the pointed blade form 30 cm air claws. They're hard to see at first glance and cut like any chakra enhanced blade (because its chakra yah). Weapon, tool or object name: Ninjato Weapon, tool or object type: Just a Ninjato Description: Just a Ninjato is carrier around for no reason. Weapon, tool or object name: Awesome clothes Weapon, tool or object type: Clothes Description: It always wears the same clothes, and they can survive being burnt and its super transformations. They don't protect from damage, they just prevent you from seeing Yakoul naked. “By the honor of the Tametomo, I will fight to the death for all our freedoms.” 1m83 - 88 kg A rather tall lad with a well built body, Arima does have the looks on his side. Not the most attractive but that isn't his only asset. With black, almond shaped eyes and straight black hair, some would expect him to be some Uchiha rather than related to the Red Sages leaders. Not so broad shoulders but evidently trained arms and dexterous hands. In terms of attire, he takes whatever he needs to blend in, but often sticks to the Confederation uniform to keep as inconspicuous as possible as a shinobi. He's always seen wearing black combat gloves alone with these odd navy blue boots he wears instead of the common sandals. He's also fond of cloaks when executing covert operations despite having a mask at his disposal, he just likes it. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Arima Shuu - Tametomo 【Alias】 The Rising Sage The Great Red Sage's Cousin The Pussy 【Affiliation】 The Red Sages 【Age】 17 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Straight 【Birthplace】 Amegakure 【Bloodline】 Tametomo's Shuu branch 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 A pretty boy with a status that easily earns him social recognition. Arima doesn't mind utilizing the Tametomo name when in rebel grounds to pride himself over his lineage, something that does get him some female attention. Quite the hotshot and showoff with his rather advanced techniques he dedicates to his own clan, one could say he's the type of popular kid that everybody knows whether they like it or not. In the midst of his demonstrations and indulging himself in praises, he simply loves to maintain a cold and distant attitude, to play the 'mysterious' guy while saying encouraging phrases regarding honor and all that jazz. What most don't see however is that he is far under the expectations of the usual Tametomo, he's a pushover. Souji was quite the thing at his age and that's not even mentioning Tarara, both his cousins. He's very aware of this, as are some of his closer colleagues. He's aware that he neither has their skill nor inherited traits to make him as grandiose as they are. But instead of accepting himself, he remains deluded when facing the crowd of peers that stand in awe when he does anything really. At least this works with the newbies. While insecure, he's also somewhat of a coward, having barely ever been in the battlefield and lied more than once about his experiences. The scar on his lip is the one his family laughs about the most. As much as he may seem confident when playing a facade, he is devoid of any authority and presence. This is particularly true when he's into a girl that doesn't send back the feelings. He's hopeless and stammering. And the more he feels emotionally cornered like this, the easier it is for people to call him out on his bullshit. 【History】 Born six years prior to the massive world war, Arima lived a peaceful life before and after the events really. His family was largely protected by the heads of the rebelling force against the mighty crusading army. It was around age 8 that he developed this idea that he was part of a big family, like the Uchiha or the Kazekage lineage. That he was destined to help this world too by leading it to safety with the Red Sages. Becoming a shinobi thus became a thing, but he was quickly disillusioned when he realized it was rather tough. He put hi spirit in it sure, but often got discouraged when more talent prodigies bested him in almost every field. Nonetheless, this sense of pride remained strong, and while he was named Shuu and Tametomo was a pariah name, he knew that among the inner circles of his family he was seen as special because of this. Becoming a chuunin was a rather average experience for him, he always blamed his teammates for his shortcomings and hardly passed the exams needed. Nonetheless, he made it, and quickly backed out of as many Confederation activities as he could. He was entirely dedicated to the Red Sages and would demand to be trained under their own men rather than by the typical government bound shinobi. Eventually he'd be recognized capable of conducting covert operations, and in his first he was paired with an experience Jonin. The goal was simple, find and infiltrate a simple weapons barrack and set it to blow up. When Arima would tell this tale of course, it was one of the main secret warehouses for quality weapons manufacturing among other things. He didn't lie that the operation was successful however, and exaggerated the few patrols confused and searching around the area with multiple special Ops pursuing them through the border. But hey, details. Oh and yes, that's where he got his scar. The special ops offered a great version of this story, but the thing was that they had to stop their trip for a rest, and who said rest also said snack break. Being the idiot that he is, he tried to open the sealed can with his teeth since most of their tools were left behind to hide evidence. A beautifully vertical and bloody cut on his lip. Well at least the lid was silver like the blade of those commando ninjas. Nowadays he tells this tale, and many believe him due to mostly his status and the fact that despite not being on par, he is a pretty good shinobi who ca handle his own. Some of his teammates were still tipped off about the real events and see right through his make believe, but even while knowing that he tries to stick with the fake alternative to make himself feel better about ... Things. 【Family ties】 Being raised within a branch of the Tametomo, he's known to be related to the two great leaders of The Red Sages. Both his parents are alive and well and he has no siblings. They go under the surname Shuu to avoid any attention from the Confederation. Toroi Shuu \| Father \| 49, Amegakure, Former Chuunin and now door to door salesman Kurona Shuu \| Mother \| 37, Amegakure, Chuunin under the Confederation, serving as a mole for The Red Sages Souji Tametomo \| Cousin \| 27, N/A, Leader of The Red Sages, 1st Degree cousin with Kurona Shuu Chieko Honma \| Friend \| 15, Konoha, Member and colleague in The Red Sages, He hopelessly has a crush on her and they've been partnered before (strong synergy as they both use lightning) 【Dreams and fears】 He dreams of actually reaching the level of his cousins and maybe one day be worthy of carrying on at least some of The Red Sage's legacy. He's absolutely scared of his current condition, of not being good enough for any of this. He also fears the intense battlefield, the inevitable possibility that he'll die. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Obviously oriented toward a style of kickboxing, focusing primarily on the electrical nature of his boots to channel ninjutsu. He is rather speedy in his methods, going for quick hit and run strikes when he sees the opportunity, sometimes even being quite impulsive. He has a hard time making a decent strategy when under pressure, but when he has one, it's sure to make some heads burn. He often attempts to lands as quickly as possible a finisher move even if it wouldn't be the wisest thing to do. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Nope, All skill. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Cosmos Finale: Electrovoid B rank techniques: Shadow Clone Technique Tametomo Cosmos Style: Guillotine Wave Tametomo Cosmos Style: Storm C rank techniques: Lightning Release: Lightning Beast Tracking Fang Cosmos Style: Z-line Cosmos Style: Thunderball Cosmos Style: Hard Counter D-E rank techniques: Demonic Illusion: Lightning Flash Pillar 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Cosmos Finale: Electrovoid Rank: A Range: Contact Description: This time a strange, yellow lightning it focused on both Glorious Cosmos as if Arima was charging an attack. As usual, he attempts to strike down the enemy, whether they dodge or block, it doesn't matter. The energy is suddenly released and manifests itself as a bolt of lightning traveling randomly in a small radius. A wind attack or an explosion would quickly dispel it. However, if it were to hit a chakra entity other than its maker, it would disperse and be absorbed by their body. The victim won't feel any pain, actually, they won't feel anything at all. If this bolt manages to hit someone, they will be completely robbed of their sense of touch as their spinal cord and brain were struck in a specific manner. They will not feel themselves standing, making them lose all sense of balance, their members will move oddly whenever they're not directly looking at them. They won't feel themselves throwing the command to move and as such they can't know if their movements are coherent enough to make a simple gait. The effects last for three posts before the sense is regained, though even the most trained are barely efficient after this. Jutsu name: Tametomo Cosmos Style: Guillotine Wave Rank: B Range: Contact + 50m Description: Inspired by the famous Raikage Guillotine Drop, Arima charges a large amount of chakra on one of the Glorious Cosmos, making it flash in blinding bright blue. All he has to do is simply crash in a powerful downward kick, not necessarily like the Guillotine drop, but it needs to be well placed. The impact would be akin to a full powered chakra enhanced strength hit, causing a massive shockwave of electricity that would shock anyone in a 50m radius, though only slight burns and movement slowing would occur, the pushback however would be fierce. Those hit, whether directly or blocked, will inevitably suffer a large amount of lightning chakra striking them in all directions. This makes for really powerful finisher. The chakra taxing is immense, making it only possible to use twice in a fight as of now with a risk of damaging his leg. Jutsu name: Tametomor Cosmos Style: Storm Rank: B Range: 30 meter radius Description: By kicking a wave of about twenty Thunderballs in the air, they all stand at a halt around the field like a dome of some kind, endlessly spinning around as if Arima manipulated them. They can be popped, but exploding one won't cause a chain reaction strangely enough. Under Arima's command, they will suddenly stop and rush in to converge at a targeted spot. It isn't too difficult to notice them striking and to evade them, however if one were to take a hit, the explosion will be particularly deadly in the epicenter, usually leading to death or knock out. Within the radius, major burns can still occur as well as electrical sparks running through the body to immobilize and/or cripple movement for a short period of time. Jutsu name: Cosmos Style: Z-line Rank: C Range: Up to 50 meters in the air and down under Description: A somewhat more complicated techniques. Lightning chakra is focused on the Glorious Cosmos as Arima uses either the Ice Skates or Rollers mode. The start to flash a brighter blue as he traverses a specific trajectory, leaving a black line on the ground he came in contact with (even water). He can make one as long as 50 meters. The thing is, this line is charged with lightning chakra, and any large entity of chakra crossing it will have all the lightning stored in them zapped into them, like an electric wall. The effects are nasty burns and short term immobility. To avoid it, one must get over 50 meters over the line or 50 meters below. Jutsu name: Cosmos Style: Thunderball Rank: C Range: 0 - 150 m Description: A very simple technique that involves Arima making a simple kick, whether forward, upward, to the side, it doesn't matter. What occurs is that by molding a tiny bit of chakra in the Glorious Cosmos, he is capable of releasing a speeding ball of blue lightning the size of a basketball at the direction he kicked, going as fast as a shuriken. When hitting something, it will explode in an explosion comparable to an explosive tag but with the affect effect of electricity that can leave paralyzed for a short time and leave extra burns. They can easily be dispelled with a projectile. Jutsu name: Cosmos Style: Hard Counter Rank: C Range: Contact Description: A simple technique that involves Arima performing a perfectly timed kick on an electric attack, whether it is chakra or other. By perfectly intercepting the electricity, the Glorious Cosmos is capable of sucking out the bolt. However, this can only work if the attack is focused in one point that isn't too big and doesn't still hit Arima. Secondly, it can't be too strong, so B rank and under only can be drained. It fills in the battery, and in return restores a little bit of chakra. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Glorious Cosmos Weapon, tool or object type: A pair of enhanced combat Boots Description: A pair of navy blue boots that look completely ordinary at first glance, reaching up to about his knees. Whens responding to Arima's chakra, they get covered in a sky blue aura with electrical sparks visible from time to time. Once active, the Glorious Cosmos become enhanced by stockpiled chakra, making them as hard as chakra enhanced steel, thus more than capable of countering most weapons. This 'chakra' that is stored inside each piece is actually dependent of an individual battery in each filled with lightning chakra, but it can also be charged with normal forms of electricity. Now don't go think he can sponge lightning, not quite, but it can accumulate energy gathered through movement of any kind. The aura surrounded can thus continuously replenish itself thanks to movement, and as such can also deliver rather nasty blows too. The electric aura will defuse visible shocks of electricity, although not all that dangerous, they can leave burns and even cause violent muscle spasms if hit in areas near the heart and lungs. The Glorious Cosmos are capable of switching into different 'modes', going to rollers blades and ice skates for greatly enhanced mobility. Needless to say he's faster than the average shinobi run with this. As such Arima can easily use the ice skates to utilise them them as lethal blades when going close and personal. “Ladies and Gentlemen, and everything in Between!” 1m51 - 40 Kg With adulthood, Aoi had her look adapt to her new circumstances, giving a lot less of a child-like impression and one more akin to a woman thriving in her life. To start off, she dedicated her look to her usage name she employs in her job by dyeing her hair sky blue, going along perfectly with her naturally blue colored, dazzling eyes. The way she styles her hair varies depending on trends and demands from her current position, as of now she keeps the look on the picture as it is Myaka Shouho's main hairstyle these days. Untied they reach the middle of her back. She appears to be rather well pampered with quality makeup on during any of her outings and attires that are mostly seen on big shot magazines. Quite often with eye capturing colors, she purposely takes a more flashy appearance to please the demand of her viewers and accomplish her daily motives within the Confederation's News Network and Public Relations. In more casual circumstances where she either doesn't want to be recognized or is fighting, she's wearing a pair of high-heeled white boots, black jeans with a combat bet containing multiple small pouches, a black tank top and a white jacket over it. Her stature is rather small, but only 151 cm in height and rather light, she doesn't bode the muscle mass of many of her shinobi peers, but such bulk would only trample on her style. Her petite silhouette does demonstrate minuscule levels of strength, but her body is rightly trained in the art of gymnastics and flexibility. A malleable body that can adapt to many situations and adopt techniques a lot easier than one geared to toning muscle. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Once a bubbly airhead, Aoi had since matured a whole lot since the war, becoming a lot more conscious of what she says and how she behaves around people. That said, she is a very illuminating and energetic presence, absolutely impossible to miss within a crowd or an occupied room. She still oozes positive aura despite what happened in Konoha 11 years back, searching for ways to make the situation better for everyone. While still having a need to be the center of everything, she did learn to let her attention gobbling and egocentric desires a rest. Nonetheless, she doesn't mind discussing various things she's achieved and something cut people off to express her sometimes misinformed opinion. She means well, but Aoi isn't one to be completely self-conscious either. Because of this, she can't be a social butterfly, but her powerful presence makes for unique charm and charisma to both sexes and her eloquence as a performer allowed her to gain access to positions that were only available in her dreams. Even things she doesn't quite understand, at all, she can make them convincing enough with the right look and her way of expressing it. A crowd pleaser for sure, all this attention and success have gone up to her behavior however. Now a seductress of the highest caliber, she doesn't mind dressing sexy to seduce those of the fairer sex she deems attractive. In spite of this, she's truly looking for someone she could end up with but fails to produce the exact result her now complex mind expects. The biggest enigma about Aoi would be her her brains, her intelligence. Although brainy with random trivia, she isn't the brightest one of the bunch that's for sure. Her vocabulary isn't too large and sometimes says things she just doesn't know the definition of. She's also ignorant when it comes to understanding more complex issues linked together and has trouble associating ideas, in a sense she isn't the most logical person either. This however comes into question when she clearly demonstrates creativity that surpasses a lot of conditioned shinobi. In the field, she is particularly efficient, at the level of her Prodigy counterpart Yamato, with usually very crafty and deceptive tactics used to finish off any type of foe. She doesn't outsmart them, but she pulls off the most unexpected of things while holding a large amount of skill. Despite this, Aoi is something that is easily influenced and holds her situation dearly. Meaning she can be manipulated through things like morals and people's views on her, as yes she actually cares about what people think. She is indeed loyal to the Confederation, but it can be broken given the right initiative by the opposing forces. 【History】 Before the Hamajō reign: Like many children living in an era of poverty in smaller countries, Aoi was abandoned by her parents a few hours after her birth. Fortunately the parents didn't randomly leave her at a home but instead confided her to the renown Don Maquia troupe as they passed the country. They knew leaving an abandoned child there would motivate them to keep it, as it was how they usually made staff. And so, she was raised in a gypsy-esque environment where travelling was frequent and work was every day, no real weekend. As she grew up, Jouro Don Maquia would not cut her some slack and initiated her to the realities of labor and hardships, but she never really complained as it felt normal to her. It didn't mean she was devoid of any fun, if anything fun was something they managed to develop during work and practice for performances. Usually by mixing the two, Aoi and her closest friend Mia had fun doing their chores while doing various acrobatic acts. She was happy with what she had, and couldn't care less about her biological parents. At one point, she'd be initiated to one of the troupe's secrets, a special way to manipulate chakra without being unique. She had a strong affinity for water, being from the Rain village, and naturally developed the abilities to hide in water and rain, but she had no knowledge of chakra otherwise. The basics were learned through usual practice, walking on water impressed many civilians, so it was general practice, substitution made great magic effects, fake clones too and so on. Chakra was something that enabled great success for the troupe, however the true secret revealed to Aoi's specific affinity would be her mucus ability. With it, she'd easily impress her audience while being exceptionally flexible in most domains. Initially, it wasn't meant to be a weapon, but through creativity, she managed to defend herself from low bandits trying to rob the troupe. Eventually reaching Konoha, multiple Jounin took notice of her unique capabilities that they had never seen before and offered her the chance to become a ninja. Realizing how it would approach her to her goal, she righteously accepted and moved on as a Genin without any Academy training (she was more than capable in entry levels). The only problem would be that she'd be unable to read and write, causing problems to her superiors. Sure she managed to learn most of it, but she isn't quite efficient at it, being a slow reader and writing so poorly it's barely comprehensible. She easily learns new lingo, however. After the Hamajō reign: Many events in Konoha honed her as a shinobi, built her as a lover and ascended her as a potential star. The war swept all that away, her skills were no match, her lover drowned into despair and all she worked for was tuned into ash by this coming of a new world. Disoriented and lost, she clung onto her falling girlfriend, Akio, who took the events extremely badly. Occasional abuse in multiple ways and the general change of behavior from the older one of the couple ended up infuriating the now disillusioned Aoi and prompted her to simply abandon the wreck once and for all. She hated this new world, it changed everything, and her naive self liked how things were. Now it was all controlled and safe, no risk worthwhile or a crowd to please as everyone was too busy to recover. Or so she thought. In reality her talents were exactly what the populace needed in this time of rapid reconstruction and loss. She had lost her masters, her friends and her lover, but the Phoenix would rise from its ashes and burn brighter than ever. Making a small reputation, she'd make herself known by higher generals of the Confederation, including Ryuu and Yakoul. Though she had potential, the genius that is Ryuu saw how malleable her mind was and simply offered something she couldn't refuse. Along with Yamato, she's one of the higher shinobi in the Confederate entourage, though she also holds a prime position in the Presidents inner circle. She doesn't have a voice in the matters, but she stands as the head of public relations, the face of the Government when the President isn't the one making declarations. To add to that, she's been given the position of primary news anchor for the Government's main news channel, or at least the most popular one, and is often given the ability to host other shows sponsored by the same channel. Because of this, Aoi's become a rather relevant icon to the Confederation. At a point during her career, she chose the name Fuegushi as surname to replace her previous one as a step through grief. Indeed, upon learning the fact that her childhood troupe had been missing now for years without a trace, she finally accepted they were permanently gone. 【Family ties】 Aoi's ties are rather strange to say the least. She wasn't raised by ordinary parents, but rather grew up as a carny along with the entire Don Maquia troupe. Her relationship with them is worthy of a sibling-type relation, as they grew up with her since she was in diapers. They did not object to her ambition of becoming a famous ninja, having formed her for such usage in any case. They continue to support her through letters and regular visits at Konoha. As of now, the troupe has been missing since the end of the war, many consider them dead, including Aoi who grieved them. Jouro Don Maquia \| Adoptive Father \| 67, Missing, The leader of the Don Maquia Troupe, regarded as the father of every member, he is highly respected and no one dares to question his authority. Mia Don Maquia \| Spiritual Sister \| 28, Missing, A professional acrobat in the troupe, she was Aoi's best friend and closest 'sister'. Bo Don Maquia \| Spiritual Uncle \| 55, Missing, The lion tamer of the troupe, he often took care of Aoi when she had fallen ill or when Jouro wasn't around. Guru \| Pet \| 19, In Aoi's big house, Aoi's attributed animal she had to raise. It is an elephant she often uses in her performances in the troupe. Akio Tendou \| Ex-Lover \| 29, Not here, Aoi's first girlfriend after changing her love interest paradigm. The relationship ended little after the end of the war as Aoi was simply fed up with her bullshit. 【Dreams and fears】 Having achieved her first goal of being a renown figure in not only a big village, but now the whole world, she only dreams of creating new and exciting things for the world to see. She tries her best to have people see the bright side of this world, to keep it intact. She fears losing this imperfect world and falling into the oubliette, or worst yet being seen as a devil for supporting a state that people were, for some reason, fed up with. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Sporadic and relying a lot of deceit to defeat her foes with grace. Aoi holds the idea of making her fights a spectacle, a show to be enjoyed, as such her fighting style has new been geared to manipulate the way they perceive things while making it a powerful experience for everything, whether it is good or bad. She uses her creative skills to have Genjutsu applied in the most unsuspecting of ways and circumstances, making her almost unbelievably difficult to reach at times. She enjoys employing her Hiden since it is her only ninjutsu weapon and often times only solely rely on it when going on the offensive. This isn't to be confused with the idea that she is a potent fighter up close. Though she prefers mid rage considering none of her abilities are efficient at long range and her small frame makes her vulnerable to close quarters, she is very well versed in taijutsu as a former circus clown and performer. Agile and swift with reflexes typical of an expert in the senses, she easily uses her martial arts skills to use the enemy's strength against them and lay them flat quickly. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Mucus Surprise Description: Although not a true bloodline limit, very few in the world are able to master this ability. Essentially it requires initiation from birth and at least an affinity to water, thus it can be classed as a form of Hiden. Rare societies such as the Don Maquia troupe have maintained its secrets. Basically, it enables the wielder to turn their chakra into different form of oozing mucus that can take the form of different imagined objects and have the properties of things such as rubber or gum. The possibilities are quite huge but the product coming from it is thick liquid-like substance that almost always sticks. Strengths: Generally it keeps the properties of rubber and gum, making it not only dangerously adhesive but strongly resistant to kinetic force coming from blunt strikes. When used as a medium to trap others, it is surprisingly lethal and effective. Strongly resistant to burns as it is originally made of water, conducts electricity poorly due to composition however. Weaknesses: Generally easy to cut through depending on the mass and density, which only require extra strength put into cuts. Those with superior physical strength can resist the stickiness to a great extent, even break it under conditions. 【Ninja techniques】 S rank techniques: Super Mega Magician's Secret! (May or may not have one. Will have it validated when I decide to give her one. Because I won't be using her as a PVP character yet, it isn't a big deal. I mostly want to introduce her.) A rank techniques: 3 Gooey Bungee! Jellyfish Sting! Mumbo Jumbo! B rank techniques: 4 Mister Spodes! Gooey Replica Mirrored Bizarro! Dance of the gallant C rank techniques: 4 Water Release: Starch Syrup Capturing Field Freeze Snap! Gooey Surprise! Snot Bubble! D-E rank techniques: 3 Water Release: Hiding in Water Technique Water Release: Hiding in Rain Technique Demonic Illusion: Double False Surroundings Technique *Basic Jutsu 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Gooey Bungee Rank: A Range: From 0 to 80 meters to apply it, maintained in over 200 meters Description: A transparent strand of mucus is created from her body and can be released from any point she desires. The strand itself can have one end stuck against a target she had contact with as much as she can have it latch onto something from a distance (by pointing at it or something similar). While being transparent, it has little to no texture and can barely be felt if touching the skin due to its lack of smell, taste or consistency. This mucus, however, is dangerous for many reasons. It can contract and release whenever Aoi desires (its her chakra after all), the contraction being exceptionally powerful like a form of 'super-rubber', allowing her to pull our push relatively heavy thing by simply connecting the strand to her index finger. The strength and weight of the target will determine the amount of chakra is demands for the contraction strength. She can also transfer it from her finger to say another target and have it contact, causing one or both the targets to be pulled and hit each other. She can use up to fifteen at once. They can be easily cut, however they do not vanish, making them susceptible to being reattached at any moment. Ripping it off would be logical, however if it was to contract, it would be relatively futile. On lighter objects, it can tighten itself to a point where it can act like a chakra thread, manipulating said smaller objects at will, though that doesn't mean she can be as precise as a puppet master. Jutsu name: Unexpected Reveal: Jellyfish Sting! Rank: A Range: Contact Description: A technique developed during the time when Aoi was under evaluation for "Jonin confirmation". Given the lack of examination, she was put under Katsu Hyuuga's care for testing. Forming a type of student - teacher bond, they grew accustomed to each other's abilities and were able to create this technique. Utilizing the same principles as the soft fist fighting style, Aoi either uses the tip of her fingers or the pointed knuckles of her major fingers to "spray" raw mucus chakra. Unlike Hyuuga, she cannot pinpoint it on either tenketsu or on organs to have a result, but she can have the raw chakra pierce through armor (still requires contact) and flesh and have it take solid form a second later. The result is mucus chakra clogging primarily the nervous system and somewhat of the chakra system (mostly efficient on members). If hitting an arm for instance, the nervous messages from let's say the elbow if hit there down to the hands will be blocked, essentially paralyzing the forearm. With the body, hitting the abdomen or the chest strongly reduces mobility to the point where coordination is difficult (members remain normal), the more it is hit the more one will feel exhausted. If the spine, neck or head are hit, they are instantly paralyzed. No matter where, the effects of each hit lasts for two posts. They are also very easy to counter with a strong punch considering Aoi's poor strength, making it an ability extremely efficient but ridiculously risky. The fact that it can just be substituted with a simple stab also gears this to a more non-lethal approach. Jutsu name: Mumbo Jumbo! Rank: A Range: Touch Description: Possibly the most terrifying jutsu used by Aoi and the 'magician's secret' she's never revealed to the public. This is a genjutsu that requires that her chakra enters into contact with an opponent, either via contact or through ninjutsu. With this done, the magic can begin. The victims become completely blind to Shinobi magic and are unable to see or feel Aoi's chakra, and by extension, the forms they take. Any form of ninjutsu she uses will appear strangely, but she'll often make it appear as though they're part of something else, like a trick to deceive the opponent and make them weary. Sensors can see their own chakra as well as chakra in Aoi's body, but not what comes out of it, as such they can see they're under a genjutsu, but when are they not with Aoi? Jutsu name: Mister Spodes! Rank: B Range: Can reach up to 20 meters (tentacles) Description: Using the same cloth as Abra Kadabra, Aoi twists and turns the handkerchief with blinding speed (such as a clown making a balloon animal) until it forms a hollow Octopus with a ^0^ face. It would only be when she tosses it while doing the Ram seal that it suddenly gets filled with a mass of mucus in it. It becomes about 2 feet in height and holds eight tentacles likes a regular octopus. They aren't very mobile and are generally very slow, however their tentacles extend rather quickly and can catch someone off guard. The mucus in the tentacles serves as a form of suction cup that keeps what it captures stuck in a tight bind similar to Gooey Surprise (with same limits). The Mister Spodes can easily glues themselves to the ground to prevent enemies from dragging them, essentially making them very useful seals to non-superhuman fighters. They die when their head it damaged (to the point where it leaks). Aoi can make up to four of them per fight and they can also be used as body replacement dummies. They also have a very eerie tendency to wail 'Boyoyoyoyon' quite often, no one knows how this is possible. Jutsu name: Gooey Replica! Rank: B Range: Self, Clone technique Description: Essentially shadow clone technique applied on mucus. The clones are composed of strange, green mucus and are able to move like regular people. They can also use mucus abilities with half the power of the original (in exception to techniques higher in rank than this one). When they die, they explode into a heavy mass of mucus that sticks onto anything around them, hence their use as suicide bombers to hinder the movements of an opponent. Up to seven can be made per fight. Jutsu name: Mirrored Bizarro! Rank: B Range: Smell Description: A genjutsu that depends on smell related activation. Because Aoi constantly wears a high quality Lavender perfume that ca be smelled from multiple meters away, she she exploits that fact to make it extremely hard to detect. In this circumstance, she performs a single hand seal, often doing it after doing another jutsu to make the enemy believe only one jutsu was made, but she actually makes her chakra adopt an aroma the same as her perfume. The smell is strong but hardly noticeable due to it being normal in her presence, but it deeply affects the perception of the people infected. In this case, everything they perceive will be inverted in direction, left is right, up is down. They will see everything this way, but the reality of it will be the contrary. The victim can pick up on it as they can also hear the real version attacking in the opposite side (as well as sense it via chakra sensing), but the illusion remains overwhelmingly real, and without a release, their reflexes will likely make them sloppier as it would seem as though they are genuinely attacked from the illusion. Jutsu name: Dance of the gallant Rank: B Range: Sight Description: A Genjutsu that is activated whenever the patterns on her umbrella are seen as they hold a hypnotic effect combined with her chakra. The effects allow her to create a replica of herself between 0 m to 1 m away from her, no matter the side. It will mimic movements typical of Aoi, however the true Aoi is completely replaced by the false one. This is usually made to confuse close range attackers, making them think she is capable of dodging everything before taking the right opportunity to strike. This can also be used to simply confuse any form of attacker into hitting the false image while th real remains concealed. Exceptionally deadly if the genjutsu isn't noticed fast enough. The image can of course move around as long as Aoi is in the perimeter. Jutsu name: Freeze Snap! Rank: C Range: Sight - Sound Description: Aoi forms a small ball of Yin chakra and simply tosses it in the air or on the nearby ground, only to have it pop like fireworks or a firecracker. The flash is so bright, it works as a flashbang. The effects are simple, those exposed regain their sight extremely fast, the flash was barely a millisecond, but they'll feel an endless buzzing sound in their ears with nothing else and the world around them frozen in time. Everything looks like the instant before the bang went out. Evidently a Genjutsu, it is easy to notice and Kai out. Jutsu name: Gooey Surprise! Rank: C Range: Close, in person. Description: A much more developed variation of the transformation technique. Indeed, the user covers themselves with a gooey layer of mucus capable of taking different shapes and sizes, colors and textures. The mucus is highly adhesive though, enough to make it act like quicksand: The more there's resistance, the deeper it gets, though it cannot be that deep because of Aoi's thin figure. It is very useful for trapping though not too specialized in hand to hand combat. Those specialized can use their techniques to break free with relative ease, though it doesn't mean that they're immune to the immediate effects. It doesn't give immunity to heat either, though it does slightly reduce overall damage, along with any other type of damage really. Jutsu name: Snot danger parade! Rank: C Range: Varies, close to medium usually. Description: By either using a specific hand sign or inhaling things like pepper, Aoi sneezes large mucus bubbles capable of swallowing more than one individual. The larger that it can get would be as large as a horse. Those trapped inside can easily pop it, however it would result in the bubble imploding, not only causing strong pressure to hit their bodies, rendering most to a rather confused and head aching state, while being covering in dense mucus stuck on the ground. This also causes smaller, human size bubbles to take shape. If the popping is made from outside, the explosion is general and hits everyone except those inside. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Fuegushi Weapon, tool or object type: Umbrella Description: A strange, light blue umbrella Aoi carries around with her. It appears to be the type en vogue these days, but her's holds a strange butterfly-like black pattern on it which enables one of her genjutsu. The handle can be removed to revealed a concealed blade, slightly shorter than a rapier. This Umbrella is capable of releasing a powerful kinetic force at close range when opened, making it capable of repelling powerful projectiles without even a recoil when the timing is right, making some unsuspecting close rangers stumble back in surprise as well. It is chakra enhanced and its fabric is strangely durable yet thin. Weapon, tool or object name: Magic Cards Weapon, tool or object type: Cutting weapon Description: A set of playing cards forged to be as sharp as a kunai, however lighter and more malleable. They are easier to use but weak in one on one blade fights as their small weight makes them easy to break through. They are perfect for assassination and tactically placed hits, however.

As she dismissively waved her hand, "Go get a drink, sit down and then drop yourself in one of this fucking sweet sofas. And then just call this thing... thing," turning to the commander. "Because I dunno what I should fuckin' call it either. Aside from the obvious 'Yakoul' shit, but that sounds too intimidating... hm... how about 'Neko-sama'?" Tanji didn't really know how to process his lackadaisical comrade making herself at home in the room. At best it reassured him that his new comrade would be confident, which usually translate into competency in the field. However, her lack of professionalism and respect irked him a bit, but he felt that it would be no use burning bridges now, and he just remained as he was. A great shaking (and moderately sweaty) statue of the room. He felt like he was chewing on glass nervous as he awaited a response from his commander. He swore his back couldn't be anymore straight than it was now, trying his best to not seem like a total fool and jagoff. He noticed his commander's annoyed expression, and cursed at himself for his failure to remain composed. "Just, call me Boss." It started. "Uh, right, sorry Boss, will do Boss. Thanks for hav-" He stuttered through, obviously not learning from his previous foul-up, before the commander started up again, "So you liked it there huh? I didn't. Piece of shit white room, absent of any fucking thing to do other than wait for some incompetent idiot to find intel we likely know about. But but but, I gotta admit, your interrogation skills are giving me a raging boner," speaking about his current post with the 11th Intelligence Corps. He nervously laughed on what he assumed, no, hoped to god, was a crude penile joke. "Ah, yes of course Boss. I hope I will be prove to be useful, Boss," Tanji giving a full salute but was ignored as the Boss, sauntered towards a kettle of coffee and took a direct swig, but only caused It to cry foul at the temperature. Tanji would have laughed at it's "Cat's Tongue" and sensitivity to heat, but thought it better to just remain stone faced and ass clenched. His eyes stayed over the new mess for a good while as he always believed Military Buildings need to remain spic and span, but resigned to just let a janitor handle it afterwards. Boss now in a much fouler mood, the Boss set its attention to the other Chunin in the room. Unexpectedly, as its casual demeanor would have Tanji believe It to be a lax commander, it struck the girl for her behavior. Admittedly, Tanji believed some sort of reprimand was required, but none as sudden and strong with so little effort. The girl would surely feel it the following morning, a fact made Tanji a little bit sorry for his new comrade, despite initial offence. This only proved that the fear and respect for the monster that Tanji felt was rightly placed. Tanji still tense, Boss spoke again. "I forgive you this time. Anyway, I ain't gonna hide it, us three are going to visit a very suspicious someone. I'll need your skills and your balls to handle this fuckery. So hopefully by tomorrow ... You two won't be as tense. I mean, I do think a master - subordinate relationship should be held highly. We can tell each other anything, right? Am I motherfucking right?!" Tanji sighed, at least content with the Boss' willingness to form a cohesive squad, it was a step in the right direction. He was still anxious, but now more confident with the Commander's encouragement. "So, got any questions for ol' fucking me? About the mission or my retarded self?" Tanji hesitated at first, but remembered Its words of "encouragement" and came forward with definite purpose, "Boss! It will be an honor serving with you. Firstly, I believe it best that as a squad we know about each others' strengths. I already told you in brief about mine, but I couldn't quite get yours," He looked between his commander and comrade. "Secondly, you mentioned our mission concerning intelligence gathering, and I assume it would be directed against the traitors, but where exactly will we be operating and what sort of information will we need to gather? Counter-espionage? Military plans and tactics? Or maybe," Tanji's eyes lit up in expectation, "a census on citizen loyalty."	“I think he's dead -er, well, everybody else think he is, but now I'm not sure.” An unassuming man by most standards, not impressive or lacking in most aspects, just simply there. Short, if a bit rustled, brown hair, with a square face free of any scars or blemishes and average everyday brown eyes, in the academy you wouldn't really notice him in the sea of exceptional talent, but he gets by.Not particularly skinny, tall, muscular, just a healthy and acceptable male in his early 20's.

Tanji Tsugiharu has exhibited little to no extreme beliefs or jarring idiosyncrasies (which in itself might be one). The Confederacy has deemed him a loyal citizen of the state. He has a positive work ethic, follows rules and regulations to the letter save for the most exceptional situation (of which he has been disciplined and reprimanded as per the law). He is as kind and self-less as any bachelor of the confederacy is and is devoted to his position. 【Personality】 Rather mundane. Pleasant enough in many social interactions, and prefers to follow conversations rather than lead them himself. That said he has some good friends back in his home town and has made a decent few in his new post. Amicable to his clients, but oddly stoic and unfeeling when it comes to dealing with traitors and rebels. He prefers to spend his free time drinking with close friends in a quiet homely tavern or ramen shop, and has an odd fixation with karaoke. When off duty he spends his days with his small family back in his home town. In battle he is as serious as any good shinobi should be in those situations. He is selfless in his duty to the confederacy and has volunteered to be bait on multiple occasions on the condition that the battle ends quickly afterwards. When plans fail and battles are drawn out he doesn't panic too much, but 9 times out of 10 will opt to lead or support a withdrawal. "Live to fight another day." 【History】 Tsugiharu's parents were simple Chunin Guards with a Customs House on a major trade route, their duties were rather mundane and drool, but once in a while held excitement when travelers had disagreements with the customsofficer. The couple resided in a modest home after an unplanned pregnancy had made the two man and wife. It was tough going at first but the relative isolation and non-relevancy of the village made for a peaceful life, and they grew content and able with the new family. 14 years after the birth of their first son, and with much more financial stability the 2 deemed themselves ready for another son. The Tanji house lived peacefully for 3 more years until the dissent and turmoil of the Confederacy reached their village leading to a violent terrorist attack on the village's crossroads leading to their deaths. This left the 17 year old boy to care for his young brother, fortunately the Proprietor of the Customs House, who at that point was now an old family friend offered to shelter the 2 orphans until the 18th birthday of the elder brother who decided to not rely on the kindness of the Customs Master any longer. Such the 2 siblings lived in a shabby apartment the elder supporting the small family as a Customs House guard like his parents. He, Tanji Hamurato, would continue to support (and sometimes spoil) his younger brother as he took his own wife(Tanji Orimoto) and had a daughter (Tanji Ekka) of their own while was just starting high-school. Tsugiharu was an average student in his own right never excelling or lacking in any field or discipline. He was studious and forthwith at the academy but never went above or beyond what was required. His work as a Genin in his squad was also mundane sticking to class D and lower missions, in exception to one class C defense contract. Simply tasked with defending a local tavern from extorting thugs (non-shinobi rabble), the mission report told of the 3 genin having to deal with some thugs as the accompanying Jonin talked with the owners, but nothing really came out of it. However rumors that local gangster being rather jumpy, defensive and generally paranoid around small sounds and shadows circulated around the tavern's area. Come the Chunin exams though he displayed adept problem solving and leadership skills within his squad, but that might have just been in need rather than by ambition. He opted to remain quarrel-less and jovial with the other Genin and never really showed exceptionaltalent other than what was required to get through the trials. However it can be noted that during the elimination tournament that the young Tanji employed some rather harsh and quick measures using poisons, weapons and simple genjutsus to end matches before his opponents can truly pull out their trump cards. A good thing too, for the proctors had stated that if not for his "bag of cheap tricks" his opponents would have easily out-classed him had the fight dragged on. He was unceremoniously given the rank of Chunin, barely passing after having been defeated by the more Capable Genin that saw through his ruses in the final rounds of the tournament. After graduating opted to become a Contract work Shinobi unlike his family before him. He takes missions for the Confederacy as many times as he can, but seems to seek missions pertaining to the rooting out and apprehension of dissident and unloyal citizens and terrorists. Currently lives by himself in a modest apartment close to his work place. 【Family ties】 Lower-Middle Class, had some hardships for sure, but was never truly in danger of starving or dying of exposure. Such a life made Tsugiharu rather humble and soft-spoken. Hopes to keep up with his duties and occasionally visits his brother and his family. Tanji Hamurato \| Elder Brother \| (36), Kusagakure, Currently a guard at a customs house. Sanguine, always optimistic and smiling in many situations. Tanji Orimoto \| Sister-in-Law \| (35), Kusagakure, Housewife of Hamurato, Choleric, rather plain but has the charm of a country girl going for her. Demure and rather quiet in contrast to her husband. Tanji Ekka\| Niece \| 9, Kusagakure, Student, Mercurial, tempermental and extremely competitive. A bit of a tomboy and a much more naturally talented than her father and uncle in the academy. 【Dreams and fears】 Dreams of finally bringing the traitors and belligerents of the Confederacy to justice and hopes to finally see peace and order to the state. Fears of losing his family to the dangers that is the enemies of the Confederacy. Combat reports. Has a quite odd fighting style and might be the epitome of "work smarter not harder." Picks and chooses his engagements when he knows the enemy may be taken down quickly and with minimal loss. This usually ends up with him or a squad-mate in grievous condition so long the opponent is taken out before unnecessary damage is done to anybody else. Such operations usually include him stringing together a myriad of feints, illusions and gambits to ensure the enemy can be taken down in one decisive attack by his squad rather than prolonged engagements. This unfortunately makes him rather sub-par when caught unawares. As such he is most delegated to planned attacks on high value targets to either eliminate, apprehend or interrogate 【Fighting style】 Some might call his methods cowardice but it has kept him alive. He employs the liberal use of clones supplemented by heavy use of false sounds and images using his specialized study in illusionary genjustsu. He chips away at his opponents using small thrown weapons like shurikens and senbons to keep his opponent on edge and unfocused. While his genjutsu gives ample distractions and false visions he also uses fine rope and bells tied to said weapons to create snares and distractions for the slim but inevitable chance that his opponent finally makes a mistake. When they do he delivers a powerful and dibilitating poisons through the same methods as above when the opponent finally opens themselves up to receive his limited supply. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 NONE 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Bringer of Darkness Technique B rank techniques: Demonic Bells: Phantom Sound Chains (Uses a Network of Tuned Bells strung onto ropes to create a melody rather than a flute) Interrogation Genjutsu C rank techniques: Earth Release: Underground Projection Fish Technique.

51,190	1,381	97	1,105	2,351	Katsuko Moto The red-haired jounin kept his eyes closed as the meeting progressed. Anzai's words bothered him but he didn't let on. Not the subtle insult towards him, which he didn't even pick up on, but suggesting that Seijo could beat Yakoul. We don't need her dying on us, he thought to himself, but otherwise just continued listening to the meeting. It wasn't until there was a loud clap of a clipboard landing in front of him. “Katsuko! Congratulations. You have two missions. Don't ask me how or why - just get it done. Mikoto is with you. Try not to get him killed. You have a dangerous mission in one of these two, perfect for you.” Now he finally opened his eyes, moving one of his hands forward to pick up the two mission briefings and bring them up to his face. This allowed him to better see it as well as keep anyone else from looking over his shoulder at the details. "Hmmm..." After a brief moment of scanning the papers he lowered the clipboard away from his face. "Alright. I get it. Give me the easy missions." Katsuko smirked with that, giving the Lady Commander a cocky wink. He knew full well that she didn't give him easy missions, but he wasn't about to let that put a hamper on his confidence. He then stood up from his chair, keeping a good grip on the clipboard as he exited the meeting room. The others might've seen it as disrespectful to leave before Seijo adjourned the conference but he had all the information she was going to give him, and he gave her all the information he was going to give her. There was no point hanging around longer. But on his way to the mess hall another person with red hair decided to catch up to Katsuko. It was Mikoto, whom he was going to be working with later. In fact it would be only the two of them in the team, to perform two missions by themselves. A daunting task to some but not to Katsuko. "Yeah, I suppose we ought to get to know each other," Katsuko agreed, though he didn't seem nearly as invested or enthusiastic about it as Mikoto was. He first grabbed a tray of mostly meat and some bread. Protein and carbohydrates, as Katsuko looked at it. Not the most balanced meal but it served the purpose he needed. Only after sitting down and beginning to eat did he strike up conversation with Mikoto again. "You've probably heard of me at some point. Name's Katsuko Moto, but you can just call me Kat. I don't really care what people call me, to be honest." After taking another bite of the pork he procured, he continued. "I come from Konoha, the last Hidden Village to fall to the Confederation. Hated them from the start. My father was a Red Sage from the very beginning, but I didn't join until after they killed him. I've worked for Tarara and Seijo ever since." Now would be a good time to begin boasting, but the rebel captain seemed more interested in eating. His battle earlier wasn't particularly intensive and he didn't do all that much, but in his line of work he always expends a lot of physical energy and thus needs to eat regularly and with a certain diet. "So what's your story... Mikoto, yeah?" Mirai Yumiya The meeting progressed pretty much how Mirai expected it would. Yakoul would swear and say horrible, vulgar things over and over again while barely getting to the point. It was difficult to decipher what he was saying because Mirai didn't like his harshness, but in short it was more of a rally than giving out any defined objectives. Basically they were going to war with the Red Sages. The idea of going to war didn't bother Mirai as much as the badge that was thrown at her by the cat-like warmonger. "Wha-?" She caught the plastic badge in her real hand, bringing it up to her face to inspect it. It was plastic and unimpressive, but it meant that he was putting her (along with someone else) in charge of the patrols. She was holding a physical form of responsibility. I've never been in charge of others before. Did he really just throw these out randomly or does he know something that I don't? The blue-haired teenager fixed the badge to her chest before returning her attention to the meeting. As it concluded the boss decided to drag Kanata away for something secretive. Personally, Mirai didn't want to be anywhere alone with Yakoul because of how creepy, vulgar, and violent he is. But Kanata had no choice in the matter and departed, saying that she would call her if she needed help dealing with Yakoul's weirdness. "Huh, I don't remember giving her my number..." Mirai thought aloud, standing up from her seat almost in sync with Aneko. "I don't recall you giving her your number either," Aneko confirmed. "Oh well. Father could get me her phone number easy enough. Kanata Amatsu-... Amatsu-... Her family name is really long. I just have to remember that part I guess." The two exited the meeting room, all the while Mirai adjusted the badge she pinned to her shirt earlier. It was crooked and that bothered her slightly. After a moment of trying to line it up to make it parallel to the ground, Aneko stopped the girl and did it herself perfectly in one try. "Thanks, Aneko. We should get lunch. I don't know if any businesses are open right now though, after the attack earlier and all..." As they left the meeting Mirai noticed a teenage boy ahead of them talking to himself. He seemed down about something, but Mirai wasn't exactly good at comforting people nor did she really want to put herself out there to try and make friends. But since he was walking a bit slow she and Aneko would have to pass him. Which was a bit awkward for Mirai, though she was fairly certain that Aneko didn't care much about brooding teenagers in the way. The two girls separated and walked past Tatsuya, one on each side, before walking together again once they were in front of him. "Surely there's some place open. The owners have to make money somehow. It's been over an hour so we can find a place to eat. Will you be using your father's card or do you have money on you?" "I think I should use my father's card, just so he can see that I'm doing okay and know where I am. Don't feel like calling him and telling him what happened just yet. He'll find out about the war tomorrow, probably." "Understood."	j8cob's Characters of Moderate Interest and Adequate Writing “Anything for the greater good; there is no measure too extreme.” A man of average height and athletic build, Ryuunosuke would barely stand out in a crowd if it wasn't for his aura and his wardrobe. He wears a white military-style jacket so pristine and white it is impossible to not see, a black formal suit underneath for when his presence doesn't need to be flaunted, and of course he keeps his elegant sword sheathed at his hip. Top it off with white dress pants, polished black boots, sleek gloves, and noble blonde hair and one can't fail to recognize Ryuunosuke at a glance. While his features may be attractive and his clothes may be regal, he is always accompanied by an aura of authority. One cannot look at him without either fearing him or being struck by awe in his presence. He practically radiates power. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 A hero, a villain. A kind soul, a ruthless killer. A heart of gold, a fist of iron. There are many descriptions of Ryuunosuke's character that all depend on who you ask. To some he is a man of great respect, a legendary hero that has fought for his ideals and won. To others he is an opportunist and a fiend, an infamous villain that took power through bloodshed. The truth is these descriptions are all of the same man and they are all accurate. Though noble in presence he justifies all his actions as a means to an end. He truly believes he is saving the world and unifying all the people, and he isn't afraid to slaughter anyone that gets in his way of that vision. All who oppose him are an evil that must be destroyed. He is all that is good and just, so any enemy is naturally evil and irredeemable. The greater good, to Ryuunosuke, is something worth reaching even if he has to climb a mountain of bodies to achieve it. 【History】 The origin of the man named Ryuunosuke Hamajō is shrouded in mystery. There are no documents or eye-witness accounts, he seems to have simply appeared fifteen years ago as a mature and worldly teenager. There are rumors and stories of his early life but none have been confirmed by Ryuu. Even his closest friends and allies have only sparse details on his background. One of the popular propaganda pieces from the beginning of the Hamajō Confederation was the intentional spreading of a rumor that he was truly born from a dragon. This was intended more to bolster support than actually explain who he is, but it caught on as the prominent myth to serve as his "explanation." The earliest report of his existence came when a young, blonde teenager wearing homemade pelts as clothes while carrying a sword entered a clothing store in a rural town just south of the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning. When questioned about his clothes he said rather simply "my old ones were too small and I didn't have many options." When asked who he was, he simply replied "Ryuunosuke Hamajō." After performing several oddjobs to pay off the man for a modern wardrobe he left the city to continue on his journey. This was the first time his name was spoken and it was far from the last. Over the next four years he traveled across the world like a wandering swordsman. He was only a teenager at the time, many didn't take him seriously, and many more tried to take advantage of him. Despite the cruel world he lived in, he was a kind soul. A strong soul. He always spared his attackers, granting mercy on most who crossed him. It was through this kindness that he made his allies. In time he had gathered a group of six followers, each one a man or woman he had defeated and spared. These friends, too, had their own followers and connections. They were all powerful, strong shinobi from all over the world. People of respect and admiration, and they all respected and admired Ryuunosuke. He was a kind and merciful soul. He was a champion of peace. His name began to spread and his group was given the name of the Dragon's Den. While his fame grew and more and more people joined his cause, Ryuunosuke grew less kind. His merciful nature, after years of being tested, began wearing away when he was seventeen. The change was slow and gradual. Many didn't notice it, Ryuunosuke to this day hasn't noticed it, but somewhere along the line he stopped sparing his enemies. But it didn't matter by that point. He had a small army of loyal followers, positioned all over the world. Dragon's Den was becoming big enough for the Kages of the Hidden Villages to take notice. But by then it was already too late. All they needed to create a new world order was a spark. They had many thousands of supporters and the potential to gain hundreds of thousands. The idea of world peace and global harmony was enticing, after all. The message they preached was that only through unity could everyone come to a mutual understanding. Only by coming together could mankind be strong enough to carry on. The spark came when the leader of Amegakure publicly cast the seven prominent members of Dragon's Den out of the village. He claimed they were a cancer to the world, that they would only cause global warfare if they continued on their path. He demanded they leave his village and never step foot in it again. A fifteen year-old Ryuunosuke would've accepted the man's decision and demonstrated his kindness and understanding by leaving. But Ryuunosuke was nineteen now. He no longer spared his enemies. Amegakure was the first to be taken in. His army of supporters only grew, making Dragon's Den a very important and very powerful organization. This prompted a name change, at the behest of Ryuunosuke himself. If they were to lead the people fairly it could not be left up to one person. Instead there would be a council at the top, an oligarchy. These nations would become one big confederation, Ryuu proposed. And from that day forward began the rise of the Hamajō Confederation. The rest is history. In less than a year the Hamajō Confederation was able to secure all the Hidden Villages, forcing their respective countries into submission. Each nation in the Confederation was represented by one of the original six members of the organization, with Ryuunosuke serving as the President of the Council and accordingly the President of the Hamajō Confederation. Their victory was celebrated across the world by their armies and supporters, but their work was not yet complete. The world was not yet properly unified. Enemies to the peace still existed. He was so young then, practically ruling the world before he was even twenty. Times have changed, he has changed. What was once a kind boy has grown into a hardened man. Peace could not be maintained through kindness, he reasoned. It could only be kept through order, loyalty, and force. This was unanimously agreed by the entire Council. The groundwork for a prosperous future had been laid out, and to some extent it has succeeded over the past eleven years. Many people are happy and safe. But not everyone. The Red Sages, in particular, have been the biggest thorn in Ryuu's side. These violent and chaotic rebels. They failed to understand his vision, to understand what's best for them. Their mere existence was a sign: Ryuunosuke's utopia was far from complete. He hadn't achieved world peace yet. There was still more obstacles in his path. Even after unifying all the nations he still had enemies. And Ryuunosuke doesn't spare his enemies anymore. 【Family ties】 Nobody knows what his family life was like. When asked, Ryuu says that he loved his parents but they had passed away when he was only eight. He also says that he had no siblings. 【Dreams and fears】 The hopes and dreams of Lord Hamajō are no secret: his greatest wish is to unify the entire world in a peaceful, prosperous utopia. He has already made great strides towards accomplishing this and shows no signs of changing his mind. His fears, on the other hand, are less known. First and foremost would be the fear of the Confederation collapsing. But, after that, he is known to be paranoid of his own organization for traitors, constantly ordering investigations in an attempt to expose any and all assassination plots against him. A small fear he has that is only known by the select few he had begun the Hamajō Confederation with is his mild fear of crowds and public speaking. This is something he can keep under control, but he is always visibly uncomfortable when surrounded by many people. This also relates to his paranoia. 【Songs】 The Dragon's Name (Instrumental) The Hero's Path The Villain's Way The Conqueror's Blade (Instrumental) “Being the strongest man in the world isn't easy, but I wouldn't have it any other way.” Katsuko is not built lithe like most ninja, instead having a tall and muscular body. His extra bulk is always apparent regardless of garments. His signature red hair makes him easily identifiable, if his size wasn't already a good enough indicator. He often wears only the clothes depicted in the picture above, but he also wears white or black shirts with the Konoha emblem emblazoned on the chest as well as red jackets whenever he is not in combat. He only removes the jacket when he gets into a fight. Personnel files.

Prides itself on producing powerful shinobi, though far too small of a family to compete with larger clans. 【Rank】 Jounin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Bold, confident, and determined. Katsuko is a man of pride who values strength just as much as he values honesty and loyalty. He doesn't withhold his opinion aside from rare circumstances and is surprisingly a capable listener to the opinions of others. He treats others with respect, though his confidence sometimes dips into cockiness when addressing those who challenge him. Many find him to be a reliable person, the kind of guy who will fulfill a promise if he makes one. He will talk tough, and everyone knows he is strong, but he is never quite intimidating. He is just light-hearted enough to make him fun to be around but still capable of being serious when it is required of him. 【History】 Born to a simple family in a simple home, Katsuko was raised to become a shinobi like his father, Jinkama. His mother and father took in his older cousin when she was nine and Katsuko was six, due to her parents' tragic deaths in the field as shinobi. Between him, his father, and his cousin, the Moto household had plenty of shinobi and training together. While Jinkama had always been a prodigious swordsman, Katsuko and his cousin Keiko turned out to be geniuses in their own respective fields of taijutsu and ninjutsu respectively. As Keiko and Katsuko became older teens the Hamajo Confederation took over. Katsuko was only a chuunin at the time but still tried his best to defend Konoha alongside his family and comrades. But the opposing army was too great and the order to surrender was given once Konoha's leaders had been slain. The Choko siblings that were in control had perished and the jounin commander disappeared without a trace, forcing the cooperation of the rest of Konoha's forces. After a while Katsuko grew accustomed to the new way of life. But his father never did. Jinkama was one of the first to join the Red Sages, secretly leading operations against the Confederation as a senior officer. It wasn't until Katsuko was already 22 years old and a fresh jounin himself that his father was finally found out. In an ambush attack he was struck a mortal blow, killing him later that night from his blood loss and damaged heart. In his dying hours he confessed his plans and ideals to Katsuko and his cousin, spurring them both into action. The Confederation came to their house the next day, retrieving Jinkama's body and subjecting the entire Moto family to a thorough investigation. They passed and were let go, but were put under watch for several months following the event. After his leash had been loosened, Katsuko joined the Red Sages and brought his cousin along too. Unlike their father they were young and unfit for leadership. This made it easier to stay under the radar, but it meant they were only grunts in the grand scheme of things. Over the past few years they have made their way up the ladder, earning respect from their peers for their strength and skill as shinobi. Lately Katsuko has become interested in taking a leadership role for the cause, much like his father did before him. Only this time he has made sure to cover all his bases and prioritize the secrecy of his plans, which his father clearly failed at. Only time will tell how this strong, determined young man will affect the outcome of the brewing civil war. 【Family ties】 Growing up in a tight-knit household, one would expect Katsuko to be very close with his family. But considering every member of his family is largely independent, they are actually quite distant despite their good standings. Whether it is out of stubbornness or laziness, one cannot tell. But the Moto family rarely gathers, but when they do they all appreciate and respect each other like any functioning family would.

Keiko Moto \| Cousin \| 29, Konohagakure, jounin and older cousin that Katsuko grew up with. 【Dreams and fears】 Katsuko has a few dreams including establishing himself as the strongest man in the world and seeing the Red Sage's cause through to the end, to create a world where everyone is free and capable of autonomy. When it comes to fears he may seem to be fearless, but Katsuko fears humiliation above all else. Even death does not muster fear in his heart like his name being brought to shame. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Katsuko is a taijutsu master, brutalizing his foes through sheer power and speed. While his ranged options are limited, he has little difficulty in closing any gaps of range to maximize his offensive prowess. His durability and sheer determination is nothing to shake a stick at either, allowing him to tank blows in order to easier land hits on his foes. While his strength is already something fearsome, he is known to exploit his opponent to tip the scales even further in his favor. He may not be the brightest bulb but he sure is the toughest, and he knows it. Expect a beating from hell if you dare cross Katsuko. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Chikaroatoshi Description: An ocular kekkei genkai, like the Sharingan or Byakugan. By using his eyes as a medium, Katsuko is able to access the chakra of his opponents through their eyes (tapping into the first two of the Eight Gates). This allows Katsuko to steal his foe's chakra simply through eye contact. The range does not matter, as it is eye contact at any range, but the duration of contact that determines the loss. An inept user may drain chakra slowly, but someone as versed as Katsuko can drain an enemy of their entire chakra pool in less than ten seconds of maintained eye contact. The chakra that is siphoned goes directly into Katsuko's system, powering him further and allowing him to demonstrate more strength and speed on top of gaining more stamina. A crafty and debilitating ability, but not the most stealthy. When using this ability, Katsuko's eyes turn from red to gold and have a faint glow. This can be considered a warning, as any and all eye contact made with him at that point will drain chakra, regardless of whether they are friend or foe. Strengths: The ability to drain chakra from an enemy at a distance, without prior contact, is a pretty good strength. It stacks further when one considers that Katsuko can effectively grow faster and stronger through the duration of a battle while his foes grow weaker and more tired at a much greater rate than they normally would. Weaknesses: An obvious way to avoid losing chakra is to avoid eye contact. If one makes eye contact and then breaks it off, the siphoning is broken off as well. Chakra may drain at an alarming rate, which experienced shinobi will feel and realize quickly that Katsuko is draining them, thus allowing them to avert their gaze before they reach the point of passing out. Avoiding eye contact altogether prevents any less of chakra. However, an actual weakness here, Katsuko can only absorb so much energy before he would overload. This amount is incredibly high, however, and would require many, many shinobi to accomplish. A more realistic alternative is to make him absorb "unsafe" chakra, such as Natural Chakra, which Katsuko's body would be unable to withstand in quantity. If he somehow overloads or absorbs a substantial amount of unsafe chakra, then his chakra system will be disabled and he would likely die. 【Ninja techniques】 S rank techniques: One Thousand Eyes Technique A rank techniques: Chakra Enhanced Strength Great Cataclysm B rank techniques: Earth Release: Earth Spear Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall C rank techniques: Earth Release: Hiding Like a Mole Technique D-E rank techniques: Academy Techniques Vantage Strike 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: One Thousand Eyes Technique Rank: S Range: Self ; Line of Sight (range irrelevant) Description: This is Katsuko's ace-in-the-hole, his ultimate technique if you will. It requires no handseals to activate but takes five seconds to properly manifest. Throughout the five seconds of warm-up many dozens of eye tattoos appear across his entire body. At the five second mark the black tattoos all turn golden and activate. These become conduits for Katsuko's eyes. Being that Katsuko is now looking through many angles around him all at once, it leaves him with no visual blind spots. However the true power of this technique doesn't lie in visual acuity but instead by serving as a medium for his Kekkei Genkai. While normally a foe may be able to fight to some degree by avoiding eye contact with Katsuko, this technique makes that almost impossible. Looking at him at all will result in losing chakra, fast. Even more so: this allows him to steal chakra from many people all at once. Naturally this means his strength, speed, and chakra pool increase at a staggering magnitude of order. Whether he is fighting one man or an entire army it does not matter. The downside to this technique lies in its strength: by absorbing chakra at a much higher rate he gets closer to overloading on "unsafe" chakra at a much higher rate as well. A seemingly simple but devastatingly powerful technique in all, generally reserved for situation when Katsuko is heavily outnumbered but can be used if faced against a sly opponent that refuses to lose their chakra. It is worth noting that this will also steal chakra from allies, as Katsuko's eyes cannot pick-and-choose who they steal from. ANYONE who looks at him will lose their power. Jutsu name: Great Cataclysm Rank: A Range: Short Description: An attack that utilizes Katsuko's Saihyousen weapon. By using it's incredible weight and Katsuko's incredible strength, an earth-shattering slam attack is performed after leaping into the air. While the attack is clearly telegraphed and easy to read, it is regarded as A rank due to the sheer damage output. A direct hit is fatal, and even a miss can deal severe damage due to the shockwaves and shattering earth. The impact is like a small earthquake and can disrupt the balance and focus of both friend and foe alike. An imposing attack that is mostly for striking fear into his enemies through demonstration of force rather than getting the direct hit, though it isn't very slow so direct hits can happen with grotesque result. Jutsu name: Vantage Strike Rank: D Range: Short Description: An opening punch from a stealthy approach. This is often Katsuko's entry into a battle. Using the element of surprise a heavy punch is delivered to the solar plexus (from the front) or the spine (from the back) depending on angle. Can easily defeat a foe by itself, only the hardiest of people will can take the hit. Dodging it is the best way to go for sure. Like seriously, dodge this fucking punch or it's over before it begins. Don't test Katsuko, you don't want to even try to block this shit. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Saihyousen Weapon, tool or object type: Massive Clubbing-type Weapon Description: An incredibly heavy weapon that very few can wield. A three meter long steel rod with half its length fitted with two solid steel spheres. This makes the handle a meter-and-a-half and the striking area the same length. This massive weapon weighs a literal ton, meaning that for the few like Katsuko who can swing it it will provide terrifying power behind every blow. Not only does its sheer size and imposing figure strike fear into his foes but just one swing is often all it will take to make an opposing force surrender. Nobody wants to die from being crushed and having all their bones broken simultaneously. Katsuko keeps this weapon sealed in a small scroll he keeps on his belt, as carrying it around would be awkward and uncomfortable. He can wield it without Chakra Enhanced Strength or using his Kekkei Genkai, but without either his attacks become slow and easy to dodge. With his "buffs" active he can wield this behemoth like a samurai would wield a katana. “I just have to keep trying, I guess...” First and foremost, Mirai's most striking feature is not her blue hair, the scar on her nose, her red eye, or even her blind left eye. It is her left arm, or rather the lack thereof. When out of the house she has a metal prosthetic arm in its place to allow her to keep functioning as a shinobi. While her stature is generally slim, not having any more muscle than she needs to lift her own weight and move around at an acceptable speed, her prosthetic arm is a bit bulkier than her real one. As for clothes she generally wears the garments depicted in the picture above but is known to wear dresses on fancy occasions or wear heavier clothes on chilly days. Due to wearing heels many think she is of average height but she is actually on the short side, standing at a mere 158cm tall. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Pragmatic, cynical, and doubtful. Mirai has a bad habit where she doesn't have much self-respect or self-confidence. She is quick to rely on others, both in and out of combat. While she is weak-willed that isn't to say she has no will at all. In fact she can be very stubborn and determined when pushed hard enough to rely on herself. This can come across as almost hypocritical, as her passive and depressing personality would make one think she would be unable to actually try to do anything. To that same effect, once Mirai has actually bolstered her will she casts away pride, honor, and any other emotion that would impair her actions. There is no such thing as a "low blow" to her. If she has to fight, she will go to whatever length it takes to survive or kill her opponent, depending on the situation. She isn't prone to rage, but many think that she enters an enraged state due to her ferocity even though her actual emotion would be more akin to panic or fear. 【History】 Born to the wealthy Yumiya family, Mirai was raised just as one would expect from her class. Most of the parenting she received was from household servants, particularly her personal servant Aneka, while her real parents were too busy. Busy with what? Her father, Makoto, has been a part of the Hamajo Confederation since its early days. Nobody knows what he does, exactly, but he had supplied his fortune when it was first starting up. He doesn't seem to do much anymore yet still holds prestige and position among the government for his support. Now Mirai's mother, on the other hand, had even less of an excuse. She had no job. She instead dedicated her life to knowledge, reading as many books as she could even at the cost of family time. So that was her early childhood. She received in-home education, private tutoring from Aneka, for several years. But, as she began to mature, she realized that she didn't enjoy her life. It was boring, dull, had no meaning. Her family wasn't loving, she had no friends, and had no talents. When Mirai was eight years old she decided she would go to Konohagakure to learn how to become a shinobi at their academy. Naturally her parents were against the idea initially, but it was evident they had some kind of love or bond with their child for they eventually relented and granted her wish. Since there was no family in Konoha nor could her parents spare the time to go with her, Mirai was attended by Aneka for the "duration of her stay in Konohagakure." And so the two traveled. Mirai began attending the Ninja Academy and so did Aneka, despite the fact the servant was already a full-grown woman. Aneka Toyama figured she would need to learn the shinobi arts if she wanted to properly care for and protect Mirai. The young girl became a genin at the age of 12, but it was apparent that she was not particularly... skilled. She was among the bottom ranks of her class and despite growing over the years never really improved at the same rate her classmates did. At first it frustrated her, but after a while it became something she felt accustomed to. She was given low-expectations, little respect, and barely any time of the day. Ironically it was nothing new to her. Mirai couldn't make any progress as a genin until she was sixteen. A mission went horribly wrong. The squad she was in was supposed to eradicate a bandit camp. But somehow, some way, the two chuunin and one genin were not prepared enough for the battle. Once her squadmates had been defeated and captured, Mirai attempted to flee but to no avail. She simply wasn't fast enough to escape or strong enough to break free. The resulting beating she received ended up putting a scar across the bridge of her nose and leaving her blind in one eye. The bandits later tortured the teenagers, trying to extract information out of them. Mirai attempted to escape during her interrogation, prompting an angry and violent response from her captors and resulting in the loss of her left arm. That night the squad was rescued by a (better) team of shinobi. After the bandits had all been killed or captured, Mirai was given medical treatment but they could not find her severed arm to attempt to reattach it. She was later told that it was the Red Sages who had done this damage to her, and that it was likely her career as a shinobi was over. Her hampered vision and physical capability made the Confederation put her on indefinite standby, a polite way to say early retirement. While Mirai seemed accepting of her fate, her servant Aneko (who has been a chuunin for a while by now) knew that she was heartbroken. Rather than let her resign to her fate, Aneko contacted her parents back in Amegakure to update them on her situation and get their help. And as such Makoto ordered the construction of a prosthetic arm that wouldn't just fully replace Mirai's original but exceed it's capability in terms of utility. If she was going to be a kunoichi then she was going to be a good one, and a good kunoichi needs good armaments. And arms. Mirai was shocked when she finally received the prosthetic, amazed at how well it worked and how useful it was. With a new motivation to get back into the game, Mirai began trying her best to work her way up the ranks. After receiving a new arm and undergoing intensive training with Aneko she finally made it to chuunin rank at seventeen, granted it was by the skin of her teeth. Nevertheless she was proud of her accomplishment, despite her monotone demeanor and the disapproving looks of her comrades. Her next goal is to become jounin, though considering the slow climb so far she isn't deluding herself over the difficulty and time it will take. 【Family ties】 Mirai's family was never particularly close or intimate. Father was always busy, mother was always locked away by herself with her books, and Mirai was always left to her own devices. Most of her care was seen through family servants rather than her parents. While Mirai can't say she "loves" her family, she does hold a natural soft spot in her heart for them. The only time they really spent together was dinnertime and holidays. Otherwise they were all alone, despite living in the same house. Makoto Yumiya \| Father \| 42, Amegakure, his exact job is unclear but he seems to be a part of some kind of committee established by the Confederation. Chiyuri Yumiya \| Mother \| 36, Amegakure, housewife who owns a whole library full of books that is always growing. Aneka Toyama \| Personal Servant \| 29, Amegakure, Mirai's personal maid that has taken care of her since she was a toddler. No blood relation. 【Dreams and fears】 In her depressing state, Mirai doesn't have many dreams. But, despite what she may say or feel, deep down inside she wants to become someone worthy of respect. Someone for others to look up to, like a role model or a hero. While she has a lack of dreams, she has no lack of fears. Ranging from the mundane such as bugs and dark places to the more serious fears such as having no friends, having no family, and even dying. Death is what she fears above all else. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Mirai doesn't have impressive taijutsu, ninjutsu, or genjutsu skills. To combat her general lack of natural talent she has come to rely on weapons and tactics. She is proficient with many kinds of weapons and tools, using her skills and her arsenal to her advantage to combat her physically superior opponents. She prefers to keep range and use surprise attacks, making her a bag of tricks that could be potentially fatal to the unwary or overconfident. Mirai may come across as underwhelming but perhaps that truly is her greatest asset. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: N/A B rank techniques: Self Destruct C rank techniques: Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder Lightning Release: Lightning Rod Poison Spike D-E rank techniques: Hidden Needle Cannon Academy Techniques 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Poison Spike Rank: C Range: Short Description: A hidden spike lathered in a neurotoxin is propelled from the palm of her mechanical arm, reaching a full length of four inches. It pops out at high speed so as to punch through thin armor or cloth as well as breaking the opponents skin. Very useful as a surprise attack when the enemy is close. The spike will be retracted after half a second, concealing it and allowing full use of her hand again. The toxin itself can be lethal in large doses (i.e. stabbed multiple times) but most victims will survive even without medical assistance. The toxin numbs the target over time, eventually reaching the point where they have incredible difficulty controlling their body. In higher doses it even affects their thought processes as their brain is numbed as well. A single stab can't defeat an enemy unless they are small and have a fast metabolism, but two or three stabs will be enough to bring down an average-sized adult over the course of five to ten minutes. Four doses or more is when it starts to become dangerous, becoming lethal to the average-sized adult at six (that is: without proper medical attention). Jutsu name: Hidden Needle Cannon Rank: D Range: Short-Medium Description: As compared to the hidden spike coming from the mechanical arm's palm, these needles fire from the outside of the forearm in a wide volley. A total of twenty senbon are shot out all at once, much like an open choke shotgun blast. Naturally the lack of accuracy hinders the effective range, but the senbon can travel over 100m from the propulsion. However, actually hitting a target at that range isn't feasible. Rather it is perfect for a painful surprise on an advancing enemy within 10m. The wide spray practically guarantees damage and the unexpected angle of attack adds versatility. Once the senbon are fired this attack cannot be used until Mirai reloads her arm, which is better done outside of battle due to the tedious nature. Jutsu name: Self Destruct Rank: B Range: Medium - 20m radius Description: If desperate times call for desperate measures, Mirai can use her prosthetic arm as a bomb. As it is loaded with explosives, all it takes for her to activate the countdown is her own will and some chakra. Once triggered it has a three second countdown before detonation. This gives Mirai just enough time to detach the arm and reach a distance she where she will survive the shockwave and avoid the explosion itself. Once the timer is started it cannot be cancelled, but thankfully it can only be started by Mirai thanks to her chakra connection with the arm. An obvious downside is that Mirai loses her better arm from using this technique, and it took a good while for it to be built the first time. Getting another could take up to two weeks, leaving her weak and unfit for duty for that duration. Debatably the bigger weakness would be the possibility of her not getting out of the blast zone in time, as the fuse is short and the range is wide. Thankfully she's had some practice and could probably make it. Probably. Same goes for any opponents who realize what is going on. They, too, have the same three seconds to make a break for it. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Left Arm Weapon, tool or object type: An advanced, mechanical prosthetic arm that Mirai uses during her waking hours. Description: Made of steel and powered by chakra, this arm is far superior to the one Mirai had lost. Not only is it incredibly durable and stable, but it also has multiple hidden weapons integrated into the forearm for surprise attacks. It houses a mechanism that fires a brief volley of senbon, contains a hidden poison-tipped spike, and even multiple exploding tags that will detonate if the arm is severed from Mirai (again). It also boasts significantly higher strength as compared to her right arm, as the entire left arm up to the shoulder is prosthetic. Notably it also weighs a respectable amount, adding onto Mirai's total weight on a scale to make her seem much bulkier than she actually is. Despite this weight it moves at an identical speed to her right arm, though because it is made of metal it packs much greater force behind every movement. Weapon, tool, or object name: Kunai Weapon, tool, or object type: Kunai Description: They're fucking kunai. Weapon, tool, or object name: Shuriken Weapon, tool, or object type: Shuriken Description: They're not fucking kunai. Weapon, tool, or object name: Smoke Bombs Weapon, tool, or object type: Smoke Bombs Description: Small bombs that explode into smoke, useful for many things. Direct hits don't really hurt anyone though, unfortunately. Can be attached to kunai for greater distance on throws. Weapon, tool, or object name: Ninjato Weapon, tool, or object type: Ninjato Description: A short sword with a straight blade, positioned horizontally across the back of Mirai's waist. Useful for, surprise, cutting things. This is Mirai's primary method of self-defense should an opponent get too close for her comfort. Weapon, tool, or object name: Explosive Tags Weapon, tool, or object type: Explosive Tags Description: Chakra-infused tags that detonate a few seconds after activation. Useful for blowing things up. Can be attached to kunai for a flashy surprise.
51,191	1,381	98	925	1,132	Mikoto, Red Sages, Flirting with Katsuko (since it'll be pretty damn confusing for two people to use the same color to speak, Mikoto's color will be orange for his interactions with Katsuko.) "Of course I've heard of you, Kat." He was being unrespectful from the get-go. It seemed to run in the family. Mikoto got a tray with meat, veggies, a small piece of bread and instead of water or something like so, he picked up some milk. Everything part of his extremely picky (and gay) diet menu. He sat down right in front of Katsuko and started eating himself. Of course, his responses did not come until all of his food was safely passing down his throat and forward to his stomach. He found it in extremely bad taste for someone to talk with their mouth full, an habit he even managed to push on Kanata. "I see that your own reason to join the Red Sages is quite deeper that my own. It has a tint of... romance, if I might say so. My own is not quite so novel. Let's start from the beginning, then." Mikoto then brought his fist near to his mouth and cleared his throat. "My name, as you may or may not have heard, is Mikoto Amatsurahashi. Hard to pronounce, I know. I am a straight male and I hail from Kirigakure. I became a shinobi out of the feeling of adventure and mystery it brought to my soul, but..." He frowns as he continues his story. "But it didn't quite feel real. Winning money just because you are a shinobi just didn't feel right, not to mention that I could not find the adventure and mystery my soul longed for so. So, I decided to become a part of the Red Sages and take back true freedom for ourselves." Mikoto said, seemingly having ended his grandiose introduction. Even if his wasn't as interesting as Katsuko's, joining because of the death of his father, he certainly did make it seem more dramatic with all the extra words he added. After that, Mikoto brought his cup forward to his mouth to take a sip out of the milk and whispered, "I also have the war I wanted for so long." He did not want Katsuko to start questioning him if he had heard what he whispered. "So, how should we coordinate ourselves should trouble arise tomorrow? I am used to fighting in pairs, but I've never fought with another, full offensive kind of guy like myself." Kanata, Undecided, Was just bitch-slapped. Kanata laughed at Yakoul after the coffee thing. 'Fuckeddy', she'd have to add that to her repertory. Before long, though, Yakoul decided that it was no longer funny and approached Kanata silently. She hurried out of the sofa. Was it going to scold her? Or hit her? Or-?! Yep, hit her was the right one. With its tail, the thing had just slapped her. The slap was so strong that it made Kanata turn the other way. She brought a single hand to her cheek and turned to Yakoul again, "W-What the hell was that-!?" She was about to berate it for what it had just done, but something it said made her change her mind. When he called her a little cunt, Kanata knew that the cat was no longer fucking around. Seemingly, the coffee thing had made it upset. Kanata did not want to fuck (in the figurative sense) with Yakoul when he was upset. She bit her tongue and held her venomous words back. Right now, it could only work against her. She knew that one day she'd make for a pretty corpse, but just not today and at the hands of her superior. Too ridiculous. "I understand, B-B..." The word just burnt her tongue. She couldn't see the thing as someone worthy of respect. "B-Boss." After stuttering a lot, Kanata finally got the damn thing out. She hoped Yakoul had a recorder at hand, since it'd never hear her say that again. Yeah, might as well just call it Yakoul. He also noticed that she was tense, so maybe some respect really was in order. After that, Tanji suggested something good to dispel the suddenly tense atmosphere they found themselves in. "Well, I am good at ninjutsu and genjutsu, but I've never really been of the offensive kind... at least not in battle. I consider myself to be good support, though." Kanata started explaining her own strengths in combat, while still caressing the cheek she was hit in. Yeah, it'd leave a mark, most probably. Now, Kanata's eyes turned a bit sad, but more than anything, angry. "I used to help my idiot brother in battle a lot too, so I guess you can say I've some experience at this. What about you, Yakoul, err, sama." If she just replaced Yakoul with 'cat' in her head, she would have no problem calling the cat with the proper honorific of 'sama'. "But, well, you are unusually perky about this, Tanji-kun. Does looking for rebels entertain you that much?" She would turn to Tanji after Yakoul was done speaking. Anzai with a real shitty roundy image, Red Sages, After the meeting A frown appeared in Anzai's face after Tametomo's comment. She had heard the woman coming from even before she entered his visible range. Her step had a clear confident and authoritarian tune to it. Though he had her pegged for a woman with a low sense of responsibility, he really did not think she would make senseless jokes like the one she just did. "I can eat just fine, thank you." Though clearly annoyed, Anzai did not make any more comments regarding the stupid joke she had just met. He had gone against the woman once, when she was testing whether he was worthy of joining or not. It was an experience Anzai was not eager to repeat, at least not until he was stronger. He also noticed that Tametomo was leaning forward and exposing some of her busom. He felt inclined to say that he just wasn't interested in things like that, but rather kept his mouth shut. "If you can leave your bad sense of humor here, milady, you will find yourself no better shinobi to aid you for this mission. I can say that Katsuko-sama is indeed a talented ninja, maybe even in par with myself, but nobody has the vision I do. No matter who I go against, you can be sure that tomorrow's mission will definitely be a success." He spoke with clear confidence in his voice, before turning to the side where Nori was coming from and addressing him. "Not to mention that the others too seem rather capable. I look forward to seeing what they are really capable of. Do not worry, you are not interrupting." He said just after the man spoke. "Indeed, I believe eating together would be a fine experience to share with those I will fight with tomorrow. Take a seat, and if I may ask, which one are you? Are you Nori-sama or Yudai-sama?" Anzai said with a faint smile in his face, not ever opening his eyes. He wondered if Nori could figure out he was blind, before making an stupid remark and Anzai having to correct him.	I want a cool name for where I keep my characters too “Who might that handsome guy in the mirror be? Ah, it's just me.” Meet Amatsurahashi Mikoto. A young man standing at 1.79 meters who probably spends more time looking at himself in the mirror than actually fighting. His long red hair made into a ponytail is probably the one with the best care in the whole army, even among the women. His fair skin has so many layers of creams and other chemicals that some men think he'll explode if there's some fire near him. His blue eyes have never been seen in another state than their almost always perfect one in which Mikoto keeps them. There are some rumors going around that say his eyes can't actually be that pretty alone, saying that they MUST be using contact lenses. He is so picky with his food and training menu to keep his slim, yet strong build, that many come to take his advice on how to take better care of their own physique. Amatsurahashi Mikoto, the man who spends a lot of time trimming himself and is actually not gay. That is the man standing before you. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Amatsurahashi Mikoto 【Alias】 That one not-gay guy that seems gay AKA Metrosexual. 【Affiliation】 Red Sages. 【Age】 20 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Heterosexual. Might be willing to change in the future. 【Birthplace】 Kirigakure. The Village Hidden In The Mist. 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Have you ever met that one person that just seems to sing everything when he talks? That's the kind of person Mikoto is. A lot of people think he is annoying, but he just shows no signs of changing. Ever since he was a child he's had one rule with which he lives by. To never change himself even if others want to change him. Always remain true to the desires of his heart. He is that kind of whimsical guy. He loves art, music and just about anything that expresses the true desires of the heart. He spends a great deal of time in unnecessary and excessive grooming. He also seems to vastly prefer the company of men rather than the company of woman. These are just some of the reason as to why a lot of people think Mikoto is actually homosexual. Mikoto is only really picky when it comes to women, not to mention that he isn't popular with woman either because of how effeminate he seems at times. Several of his close friends actually know this, and still like to tease him about that. Having sparked several misunderstandings, Mikoto has made an habit of introducing himself with his sexuality in his introduction line. Despite his love for his beauty, Mikoto is neither an stranger to fight nor is he scared of them. He is not a ninja just for show. Mikoto's will to fight is just as much, if not even more, than other ninjas. He will never run away, nor will he ever admit he is outpowered. That's why he believes it is wrong for shinobi's to only be after money and not to follow their heart's desires. He does, however, protect his face a lot more than any other shinobi does. His reason to be one of the Red Sages is simple; "Doesn't freedom sound like a beautiful concept to you? I'd very much like to see what true freedom is like." 【History】 What can you expect from Mikoto's story? Yes, he was bullied as a kid. Yes, he was beaten up a lot as a kid. No, he was not mentally scarred or traumatised by this. Mikoto actually fought back. He's never been afraid of getting his hands dirty. Though he's always been a dilligent student, more than once has he been scolded by his teachers because of how many fights he got himself into. During elementary school, he had to fight his way through bullies and smart-asses who thought he was nothing more than a sissy. It wasn't until he started going to junior high school that he discovered a better way to deal with bullies instead of fighting them. Completely ignoring them. Why, there's nothing more infuriating than the sissy you are trying to piss off completely ignores your very existance. It ended up either with the guys giving up and moving on to their next victim or them trying to beat up Mikoto, which ended up badly for them. Again. By the time he entered high school, Mikoto had created a reputation for himself. Never again did he have to deal with idiots trying to piss him off. Sadly, it was... boring. Extremely so. How could he ever relieve this boredom? Already studying to be a ninja and a Chuunin, and the Hamajo Confederation didn't seem eager to start a war any time soon. Then, what could little old Mikoto do to relieve his thirst for fighting? The Red Sages was the only thing that came to his mind. 【Family ties】 The Amatsurahashi family. Harsh in their ninja training, lax in their concept of what a man should be. Why you ask? Mikoto's father died when he was 4 on the way to the hospital when Mikoto's sister was about to be born. So, Mikoto had to quickly grow up and become the man of the house and so, he had no time to have his lunch handed over to him by some guys who taught were better than him. Not to mention he had an example to set for his sister. Amatsurahashi Haruka \| Mother \| 42, Kirigakure, Reitred Shinobi Amatsurahashi Kanata \| Sister \| 16, Kirigakure, Shinobi, Chuunin 【Dreams and fears】 His dream is to see actual freedom. To be able to see what it truly means for a shinobi to be able to be free. He'd also like to learn how to play an instrument, ANY instrument. His deepest and darkest fear is for all that is beautiful to him, including his family, to be taken away from him all at once. To leave him at the mercy of a world where nothing can no longer make him feel alive. Basically, being alive but dead inside is his biggest fear. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Many describe Mikoto's fighting style as refined and entracing. They say it is like watching him dance instead of fighting. Still, Mikoto's taijutsu is deadly and precise. There is no wasted effort, no wasted moves. Everything is made to be a beautifully perfect fighting style for Mikoto. Rhythm and tempo are the bases for his taijutsu style. He always tries to imitate a song playing inside his head as he fights, trying to match the timings of his strikes and the timing to avoid and counter-attack. Thanks to his being knowledgeable about several types of music, it is easy for him to change gears in the blink of an eye. He tends to use bojutsu, a fighting style through the use of a staff, when he thinks taijutsu is no longer enough to defeat someone. He usually combines bojutsu with ninjutsu to make an even more lethal style. He is more of a physical fighter rather than using ninjutsu and genjutsu. His ninjutsu acts more as a support for his fighting style and he tries to avoid using genjutsu, mainly because it isn't his best subject. His ninjutsu focuses on the use of water as a high speed waterjet to cut through things. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Doesn't have one. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Water Release: High Speed Jet B rank techniques: Water Release: Water Beast Water Release: Hiding in Water Technique C rank techniques: Water Release: Water Gun Water Release: Water Whip Water Clone Technique D-E rank techniques: All basic Academy E ones. 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Water Release: High Speed Jet Rank: A Range: Short Range, can only be use in hand-to-hand combat. Description: The user releases a high speed stream of water from their finger tips and envelops both of their hands in a water jet that can cut through just about anything. This technique, however, is as harmful to the user as it is to their opponent, and can only be used once in a fight to avoid further damage to their hands and/or weapons. Depending of the Chakra output of the user, this move becomes more powerful and becomes able to cut through harder materials. How much the chakra is being used also determines how long this jutsu can last. At minimum output, the Jutsu can cut through wood easily and can last about an hour (6 posts) without damaging the user's skin. In a weapon, it can last for a complete hour (6 posts) before it starts eating away at the materials of the weapon. At medium output, the jutsu can cut through bone, rock and even iron. The user can mantain it for 15 (3 posts) minutes without major damage to their hands. In a weapon, it can last for 30 minutes (4 posts). At maximum output, the jutsu can cut through just about any kind of metal standing in its way, though it won't be able to cut through chakra enhanced weapons, diamonds or crystal release jutsus. In the user's hands, it can only last for a minute (1 post) before there is major damage and in a weapon it can last for 5 minutes (2 posts) before it destroys the weapon completely. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon Name: Sonatta Weapon, tool or object type: Staff Description: A large white and black staff that is about the same height as Mikoto himself. It is made out of wood and has two metal plates at both of its ends, so it can withstand Mikoto's High Speed Jet Jutsu. “Yeah, I am that guy's sister. No, I won't get you a date with him. Why? Because he doesn't freakin' like dudes!” Standing at a not even surprising 1.64 meters and a rather slim and flimsy frame, it is Amatsurahashi Kanata. Like her brother, she has fiery red hair and blue eyes, but neither of them are as well cared for as his. In fact, her brother likes to point out the split ends her hair might have. Her hair is long and usually kept in a pair of twintails that reach her waist. Her blue eyes are big and have been called cute several times, by relatives and her mother, mainly. Her fair skin does have some cream put into it but not the ungodly amounts her brother uses. Like other men, she fears she might catch fire if she imitates her brother. Her frame is slim but well trained, as expected of any shinobi. The problem lies in her chest, something she has a strong complex about and what often makes others confuse her for a boy (given how her brother is). A teenager who'd like to put as much attention on her appearance as her homo brother, Amatsurahashi Kanata. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Amatsurahashi Kanata 【Alias】 Little Sister 【Affiliation】 Undecided 【Age】 16 【Sex】 Female 【Sexuality】 Straight 【Birthplace】 Kirigakure 【Bloodline】 Amatsurahashi 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Unlike her brother who has 'shit for brains', Kanata is a lot more normal than her egocentric and metrosexual brother, if a lot more tomboyish than your regular kunoichi. But let's be honest here, what screams femininity more than a girl in a tight suit jumping around and throwing sharp things at others? Foul-mouthed by nature, full of hormones thanks to her age and Kanata's short fuse make her an adorable pack of emotions, insults, bad words and sarcasm all in one. She's known for not holding anything back, and this has gotten her in a lot more of problems than she's ever wanted to have. Her tongue moves faster than her brain can catch up, hurling insults at people she shouldn't piss off. She depends a lot on her brother Mikoto to get her out of such situations. An idiot by birth not by choice, Kanata has found herself in more than one tight spot both in school and in the streets. She often comments on how life wouldn't be as exciting if she didn't get in as much problems as she does, though. Add to all of this the fact that she has several complexes about her body and life and it just makes her the perfect adolescent with attitude problems. She just needs to run away and the pack should be complete. Among her several complexes, she's got a complex about her chest and an inferiority complex towards her brother. Don't try to mention her height or call her a boy either. Overall, Kanata is a short-tempered idiot with a big mouth AND some ability as a ninja. At least she knows how to fight AND when she should just run for it instead of fighting. "Live to fight another day. Those idiots will never catch me anyway, not with mighty homo Mikoto watching my back." 【History】 Unlike her brother, Kanata was largely ignored in her school years, all the way from elementary school it was just a big whole of... nothing. Have you ever seen your graduation photo and noticed a guy that is there but you never actually saw? If not, that's what several people thought after getting their graduation photo and finally noticing Kanata. Everyone expected big things from Amatsurahashi Mikoto's sister, only to be let down by the extremely pragmatic and sarcastic Kanata. Her existence mostly went unnoticed until she finally became a Chuunin. Pairing up with her brother and going out in missions made them a deadly combo. Finally, people started noticing Kanata and she wasn't sure of whether this was a good or bad thing. Well, she never really did have a lack of friends, she just was in that small group that mostly went unnoticed by others. Later she determined that it was bad. Real bad. They all came to her with words like 'Oh, did Mikoto have a sister? Never knew.' or 'Wow, to think you could actually do something!'. What came after those comments was most definitely not pretty. Having gained a bad reputation this time around, people started to actually avoid her. Well, her fame was short lived, and it was good that it was. 【Family ties】 Kanata's father died before she was born, so she only has her older brother and mother to rely on. While she is fond of and loves the two of them, she does find them, Mikoto specially, annoying. Amatsurahashi Haruka \| Mother \| 42, Kirigakure, Retired Shinobi Amatsurahashi Mikoto \| Brother \| 20, Kirigakure, Shinobi, Part of the Red Sages, "Full time homo" 【Dreams and fears】 She dreams of one day surpassing her ever so perfect and beautiful brother, or at the very least shake off the feeling of inferiority she feels towards him. Her biggest fear is not being able to go to the next One Direction concert living in the shadow of her brother. Also to be noted, she is scared witless of Mikoto's imminent death if he keeps doing dangerous things. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Never to shine herself but to give others the opportunity to shine, Kanata's fighting style is a purely supportive one. She can indeed defend herself in hand to hand combat, yes, but her true talent comes out when she is fighting alongside someone else. Her specialty are ninjutsu and genjutsu used to support a more aggressive battle style like her brother's. She intends to stall, hinder and trip her opponents at every step they give. Even if they are about to hit their mark, she'll make sure that what they hit is nothing more but an illusion she's made. Cunning and brains, not muscles and... more muscles, are what make her a formidable fighter. She uses water release, but unlike her brother, she uses mist and barriers to hinder her opponents. Her taijutsu is the weakest part of her fighting style as a whole. She can easily be overpowered by any opponent with more experience in hand to hand combat or otherwise. Her taijutsu is focused on the use of her legs, since her arms are more like sticks. She uses a combination of muay thai and tae kwon do to keep opponents at bay while she uses her hands to prepare her next jutsu. Kanata also tends to use submission holds against opponents bigger than her, in order to keep them from moving and to give herself more time to cast her next jutsu. Thanks to her being bad at taijutsu, she carries even more kunais than the average shinobi. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Thank God I don't need to fill this longass form 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Water Release: Water Heavens Convergence B rank techniques: Water Release: Water Formation Pillar Water Release: Water Beast Illysionary Mist C rank techniques: Water Prison Technique Water Release: Water Gun Water Clone Technique Water Release: Enveloping Mist D-E rank techniques: Hidden In Mist Technique 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Water Release: Enveloping Mist Rank: C Range: Large, it covers an area of 30 meters around the user. Description: The user, Kanata, releases mist from the tip of her fingers that envelops a wide are around her. It does nothing more, nothing less. Once the mist is out of Kanata, it does not take any chakra for her to mantain it. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Kunais. Lots and lots of them. Weapon, tool or object type: Throwing Kunai Description: Simple kunais in ungodly quantities. Makes you wonder where the hell is she hiding so many of them. “Calm yourself. I mean you no harm. ... Your heartbeat is starting to calm down. Good.” An intimidating man standing at 1.80 meters and a man of nerves made out of steel, Kisaragi Anzai. He's got short and spiky black hair falling right over his face. He uses a headband at the top of his forehead to not let it rub against his face, since he is pretty sensitive. Anzai's skin is dark brown, making for a perfect example of the trademark Kumogakure ethnicity. He's got gray eyes, but he always keeps his eyes shut. Unlike many cliché anime characters, Anzai actually keeps his own eyes shut because he is blind. His physique is quite buff and muscular, something that affects his diet quite a lot since he needs to eat a lot more than your regular shinobi. Despite his physique and Kekkei Genkai, Anzai keeps always keeps a cane by his side. The Blind Assassin, Kisaragi Anzai. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Kisaragi Anzai 【Alias】 The Blind Assassin, Anzu 【Affiliation】 Red Sages 【Age】 25 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Asexual/Bi-romantic (think I saw someone use the word hetero-romantic somewhere, so I'm borrowing the idea) 【Birthplace】 Kumogakure 【Bloodline】 Kisaragi 【Rank】 Jounin -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Calm and stoic are the words that best define Anzai. He's lived his life having to take calm and well-thought steps due to his blindness. It gives you more time to think, in a way. Everything he does is well-thought and meditated, even his jokes, which tend to be overlooked because of his monotone tone of voice. Because of his legendary calmness and his habit of meditation, many often believe that Anzai is, in fact, sleeping. He has fallen asleep while meditating if we are being completely honest, but it is a rare occurrence indeed. Once, someone stepped over him while sleeping. Anzai is really prideful, despite his usual cool demeanor. Offering to help him go down the stairs or other friendly offers for help upset him greatly and, despite not losing his cool demeanor, you'll find yourself threatened by that same calm nature. In a nutshell, feeling pity for him can really work against you. "Even as I am blind, I can see far more than you." His mannerisms and calmness often lead others to believe that he is expressionless, or worse, emotionless. This is most certainly not true, but Anzai does manage to keep his emotions in check most of the time. This is because he understands and accepts all of his emotions, which has also made him able to tell a person's mood through the tone of their voice or what they are feeling through the beat of their heart. These two abilities, though, are rendered useless in battle as he cannot focus his hearing solely in his opponent, otherwise he'd feel he's leaving himself open. As with everything else, Anzai tends to keep calm and stoic even in the most heated of situations, making him both an intimidating and terrifying foe. 【History】 The long line of Katsuragi shinobi felt that its long tradition of warriors had come to an end when they discovered that Anzai, next in line to become the head of the small clan, was born blind. Not having sight, an almost indispensable tool in the trade of being a ninja. They thought all was lost were it not for what they noticed later. The boy could indeed see and his 'sight' could reach even further than their own. The Kekkei Genkai of the Kisaragi allows them to feel electric currents, but only when thrown in a jutsu, making it a highly defensive type of Kekkei Genkai that could only protect them against an specific type of jutsu. Anzai's blindness took it a step further. Anzai could actually sense the small electrical charges carried by electrons, and that permitted him to make an image inside of his head of what things would look like if he could see, and what made it better was the fact that his 'vision' covered a whole 360 around him. It was blurry at first, of course. Untrained and instinctive, the Kisaragi could not pass up on such an opportunity. Regardless of his shortcomings when he first started training, the Kisaragi finally were able to make an specially deadly and stoic shinobi out of Anzai, who could now see clearly after refining the use fo his Kekkei Genkai. Once he got clearance to become a Jounin, however, what followed were years full of frustration. Everyone looked down on him because of his blidness. They wouldn't allow him to participate in missions, and he would remain mediocre because the Confederation frowned upon physical demonstrations of power, at least between their own armies. The last straw was when his commander called him weak, and that he couldn't kill him even if he were sleeping. Making a live demonstration, Anzai went to the Red Sages dragging his commander's body by the neck. The commander was known to be a powerful but arrogant commander that had been hindering several of the operations of the Red Sages. He hoped that such a demonstration would be enough for the Red Sages to acknowledge his potential. Thankfully for them, they did. 【Family ties】 Anzai's family is filled with strong warriors, warriors that would risk their lives at the beck and call of their masters. So was the case with both of Anzai's parents, who died while he was still training. His only remaining (close) family is his grandfather. Kisaragi Youtsugi \| Grandfather \| 81, Kumogakure, Old fart too proud to retire from being a shinobi. 【Dreams and fears】 Anzai dreams of making his a powerful clan, one rivaling the Uchiha or the Hyuuga. Despite not seeing (pun intended) the allure of the intercourse, Anzai does wish to have an heir who inherits both his powerful Kekkei Genkai and blindness, horrible as it may sound. He thinks of himself as the next step towards greatness for his clan. An improvement over those before him and the true potential of their Kekkei Genkai. His biggest fear, though odd but logical considering his personality, is to be able to see with his eyes. He feels he'll lose his powerful KG if he sudeenly becomes able to see. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 A dojutsu without eyes. So many have described Anzai's battle style. His genjutsu skills are non-existant, perhaps because he cannot see in the traditional way, but his lack of skill in genjutsu is compensated by his skill in ninjutsu and kenjutsu. He keeps his sword concealed inside the cane he always carries with himself. His fighting style is one that prioritizes domination over the battlefield. If people ambush him, then he'll keep everyone at a safe distance through the use of his ninjutsu, and then engage each of them with his sword and finish them quickly. He's been called the Blind Assassin because he always aims to end his fights quickly, before his opponent can catch up on the several weaknesses of his Kekkei Genkai. If he is overwhelmed or has spent too much in a fight, he tends to retire as quick as possible and fight another day, despite his prideful personality. He is dead set on not letting anyone know of the weaknesses of his abilities, and will surely kill anyone who catches on on them. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Denkaku (電覚) Description: The Kisaragi KG allows the clansmen to sense strong currents of electricity, like those produced from a Lightning Release ninjutsu. Anzai's lack of sight, however, makes this ability extremely powerful, and allows him to sense even the small electrons that are around almost every atom, which allows him to make complete 360 images in a range of 10 meters around him. The KG also allows the Kisaragi to use an special type of ninjutsu because of the constant electric wave that surrounds them. Anzai's is neither stronger nor weaker than those before him. Strengths: Allows Anzai to make 360 images of the terrain he is in. Can dodge Lightning release ninjutsu easily thanks to being able to detect them from wherever they are coming. Due to the excited atoms of a hot body, Anzai can also sense Fire Release rather clearly and can sense even more clearly any individual with a high body temperature. Anzai can become a walking stungun by amplifying the electric wave going around him. If extremely concentrated and in only one individual, Anzai can predict their next attacks by seeing the electricity running through their muscles as they move. This, however, makes him blind to any other thing happening in his surroundings. Weaknesses: Being hit by Wind Release, the usual weakness of Lightning release, can either make his vision blurry or blind him completely, if the jutsu is strong enough(B jutsus and stronger). He cannot sense Ice Release or any body at Absolute Zero temperature. (Not necessarily a shinobi, could also be metal). Due to the lack of electrons in their atoms, Anzai can't sense gases either. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Lightning Release: Depht Charge Lightning Release: Walking Stungun B rank techniques: Lightning Release: False Darkness Lightning Release: Lightning Trap C rank techniques: Lightning Release Wall Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder D-E rank techniques: None worth mentioning. 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Lightning Release: Walking Stungun Rank: A Range: Short Range Description: Using Lightning Release, Anzai supercharges his nervous system after amplifying the natural electric wave surrounding his body and reversing it inside, but unlike A's Lightning Chakra mode, Anzai does not enhance his physical capabilities. The electricity surrounding Anzai also becomes visible to any of his enemies as small lightning courses his arms, chest and legs. Touching Anzai while doing this will result in an extremely painful and stunning electric shock, that renders taijutsu useless against him. While this does not actually hurt Anzai, it does leave him paralyzed for a long while afterwards, so he does not use it that often. The longest he can keep this technique activated is for 5 posts. Anzai theorizes that if his whole body was sedated and his mind wasn't, he could use this technique to move. He hasn't had the opportunity to prove this theory, though, and the fact that he still needs to make the hand seals makes it... kind of pointless. Jutsu name: Lightning Blade: Heaven Piercing Lunge Rank: S Range: Short to Mid Range Description: Anzai thrusts his weapon forward and, much like like the Chidori Katana of Sasuke, creates a highly condensated flow of Lightning release chakra with a range of 10 meters. Though it does not chirp loudly like the Chidori Katana, there is indeed a low, cracking sound that warns of its arrival, not to mention that when it hits, it makes the same sound as a thunder striking the ground as all of the compacted energy dissipates after hitting its target. It is compact and quite small, and its range falls short to other jutsu, but it is a jutsu that can pierce through mostly anything, unless faced with a weapon with flowing Lightning Release chakra or Air Release chakra. Thanks to Anzai's detection and skill, he can make the attack change its course as he wants, though not as many times as he'd like. After moving it three times, the jutsu disappears. Though extremely lethal as it can pierce easily through someone's head or ribcage in an attempt to kill Anzai's enemies, it really depends a lot of where it hits. Jutsu name: Lightning Release: Lightning Spread Rank: C Range: Long Range Description: A variation of the Electromagnetic Murder jutsu. Putting both of his hands on the ground, Anzai releases lightning in a range of 20 meters to keep his opponents away. Jutsu name: Lightning Release Wall Rank: C Range: Short to Mid Range Description: Using Lightning Release, Anzai erects (( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)) a wall with a maximum range of 10 meters, that can be extended to 20 if he places seals to help him keep it up. The wall is made up of violent electric bolts, making it harmful for anyone trying to get past it, whether they want to enter it or exit it. It doesn't seem to affect Lightning Release users as much, though. The only way to dispel it is to either defeat Anzai or, if it is being used at mid range, to take off the seals previously placed by Anzai. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Silent Death Weapon, tool or object type: Sword Cane Description: A sword hidden inside a cane that would otherwise be used to aid his walking. How it looks
51,192	1,381	99	323	3,236	Cheiko HonmaDitching the meeting (that's now over) Red SageChieko feel back as Arima and herself neared the compound. As soon as she entered through the tunnel's door she was told by the secretary there was a new mission waiting. Chieko frowned at the woman, turned on her heel and left. Where she went, she didn't quite know, she just kind of choose a direction. When she felt she was far enough away she let out a large cry and punched the nearest tree. It exploded in a flash of chakra aided rage. As the ash fell around her she stood, head hanging, panting. She closed her green eyes tightly and pressed her palms into them. If anyone asked, she'd deny to her dying day that she might be crying. How long the teen spent out there, she wasn't sure. Thoughts of her family swirled through her head. She wasn't doubting if what she had done was right. She was far past that stage. But she had failed to realize she might come in direct conflict with her sister. Or her sister might come into direct conflict with a strong Red Sage. And she might die. Chieko's breathing went ragged. Instead of sorting through her feelings like a normal human being she began training. Breathing in and out and feeling her chakra flow through her. She took most of her anger out on the trees, creating a small artificial clearing covered in ash. It felt like ages before Chieko felt level headed enough to return to base. She patted herself down as she walked, trying to erase all evidence of her little temper tantrum. Umary HonmaAt the nearest Hospital ConfederateUmary lifted her hand from another shinobi and ignored the slight shaking. The hospital was not at the harvest festival, but was the nearest one they could start bringing the wounded to. At least the wounded they couldn't treat on site. She had stripped out of her armor and changed into a medic's white robes. The sleeves were rolled all the way up leaving her arms bare. The young woman grabbed more bandages and moved onto the next patient. Earlier in the evening one of the shinobi she had treated had been interrogated. She had treated him only for him to be taken away again. When they brought him back for a second time she had threatened everyone's life, taken the Red Sage and sequestered him away in a bed with dire threats. Umary cast a glance over at him as he was treated by another medic. He still hadn't regained consciousness. Umary turned to her next patient and wet down her old bandages and began to peel them off. The burns she had received were extensive. Once the wound was completely exposed Umary held her hands over it and breathed through the expenditure of chakra. If her hands shook just a little more, everyone was too busy to notice. Umary re-wrapped the patient in clean bandages and for the nth time wished the day was over, or never happened. Either would be fine by her. Noriko HonmaOutside of the Lecture Hall Confederate Noriko could feel her eyes glazing over as the General stood up front and ranted. And ranted. Her mother had always mentioned how odd it was. But she had added that it was a good fighter and a good general. Which warranted Noriko's half attention. Only half, because the rant was nonsensical. Really there was nothing to it. When it ended, Noriko slowly stood from where she crouched and stretched. She didn't bother looking at anyone or caring about any of them. She rather wanted to find Umary an see how she was. But she was liable to be punched in the face if she continued to hover. Her younger sister might be less able, but she could get worked up if the occasion called for it. Instead she decided she it was time to find Tatsuya and return him his payment. She laid her hand briefly on her short short before letting it go and looking around for the red-haired kid. There was quite a few with red hair which made it more annoying, but Noriko was nothing if not diligent. In fact, right after she mentally bemoaned the fact she might not find him, she found someone who did fit the profile. Tall, red head, check. She had only noticed when he was passed by two girls who accented his tall-ness. Noriko smiled to herself and lazily set off in pursuit. She was in no hurry. Unless her squad got after her later, but she still had time to herself. And she'd make every second count. Not excluding stalking this guy.	The Honma Sisters “Power has only one duty - to secure the social welfare of the People.” Noriko is the tallest sister standing at five foot seven. She has long red hair and green eyes. She's rather fond of eye makeup and usually adds something to make herself look more intimidating. Like the rest of the women in her family, she is built like a rectangle. She's flat with no assets to speak of. On the trade off she is very densely muscled. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Noriko is the serious sister. She loves life and enjoys being a Ninja. However she isn't as competitive as her youngest sister. Nor does she feel obligated to be a Ninja. It merely was the logical decision in her mind. After all her parents were both ninjas and it felt natural to her. Overall Noriko is calculating. She comes across as cold to most people, but that's just because she doesn't care about them. The only people she cares about are her parents and her sisters. Sometimes Noriko has problems determining right from wrong. Excessive from light handed. She also enjoys having power over other people. Though she does know that's not quite right. She also know if she's not careful she'll go down a dark path. When things don't go her way, she will get even at a later time. 【History】 Norkio was the first born of her parents. Due to her parents both being Ninja, they were hardly around. Because of this it often feel to Noriko being the parent for her younger sisters. This propelled her to mature faster. Still, her nurturing nature made it's appearance and she never resented mothering her sisters. With taking care of her siblings practically a full time job Noriko didn't have much use for friends. Instead she dedicated her free time to learning ninjutsu and taijutsu. When she was of age she joined the ninja academy in Konohagakure. She pushed herself a lot harder than her teammates and it caused a large amount of tension. For Noriko wanted to be a chūnin as fast as she could, but her teammates didn't. Eventually she ditched her teammates to join another team, Daiki and Ichiro, going to the Chūnin Exams. Out of the three man team only Noriko and Daiki became chūnin. This severed all good will between Daiki and Ichiro. However during the exam Noriko and Daiki became friends which quickly progressed to lovers. Still it wasn't meant to last. Daiki resented how much time Noriko spent with her younger siblings and left her. Heartbroken, Noriko swore off men and instead redoubled her efforts on her shinobi skills. One day soon she hopes to become a Jounin and lead her own team. Currently Cheiko is missing and Noriko spends a lot of time trying to look for her. 【Family ties】 Noriko grew up in a ninja family. Her parents were often absent leaving her the responsibility to raise her siblings. This created a close bond between her and her siblings. All the women in her family, except Umary, are very competitive and hate to loose. Umary and their father are extremely laid back and often get walked over by the stronger personalities.

It ends up looking like a miniature sun and is typically only held at bay for show. Then, given any cue, the user slams the sphere into the ground, causing it to explode with the power of pure heat behind it. The user is unaffected by this burst of power, but anyone within the radius of the blast suffers some unsettling consequences, such a major to minor burns, alongside the devastating concussive force it sends forth. This technique, by sheer strength alone, has even been known to crack boulders. The technique will also cause head-aches, blurry vision and shortness of breath due to the change in air pressure and density. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Wakizashi Weapon type: Short Sword Description: An average short sword. A wakizashi has a slightly curved blade with a square-shaped hilt.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Umary is the cheerful middle child. She loves life and wants to enjoy it to the fullest. As the middle child Umary is often the last to be noticed. Sandwiched between two strong personalities she is often forgotten. But Umary often likes it best that way. She is often away from home spending time with friends. Because of this she was the most reluctant to become a Ninja. She would have rather not, but felt pressured it join. In the end she decided she could do good for shinobi. She is happy that the world is at peace. But the cracks in the peace worry her. Mostly her worries center around her sisters who are pulling opposite directions. 【History】 Umary was the middle child. Her earliest memories were of being taken care of by Noriko. It's strange, but her elder sister was always more of a mother to her. When her mother, Chou, actually began to be home for longer periods of time, it was an adjustment for all of them. At first Umary resented it. Her mother was a strong woman and often dismissed Umary out of hand because of her docile nature. Adding to her mother's return was the pressure to live up to their family's legacy. Eventually the desire to be loved and accepted drove Umary to becoming a Genin. It was at this point that her mother actually acknowledged her as a member of the family. Umary's time as a Genin wasn't the best time of her life. She spent a lot of time over at her teammate's homes and away from hers. In a way she was closer to others than her own family. It was during this time that she was happy to discover her abilities were like her father's. When she made the switch over to focusing on medical techniques life picked up. It was also in this same time period that her father returned from his missions and began to teach her his skills. Life of Umary was picking up. She had good friends. The love of her father. Noriko who loved her and Cheiko who was like a little puppy. With the help of her family she was able to pass the Chunin Exams. Ironically she was on the same team as her youngest sister Cheiko. As of the moment Umary is very happy being a chunin and has no further designs on upward movement. Still, she's using her connections to try and find Cheiko who's been gone too long. Though she suspects where Chieko went. 【Family ties】 Umary's parents were never at home during her younger years. Instead she was raised by her elder sister Noriko. When her mother came back home she ended up spending most of her time away from them and with her friend's family where she found nurturing environments. Because of this her bond to her family isn't as strong as her sisters. Though she loves her father very much.

She wants to retire in a small village and live out her years in peace. Maybe she might even marry a man who is a little simple and have peaceful children. Umary fears war. War in her family or war in the world. Both are equally bad in her book. She also fears death. Unfortunately for Umary she knows peace never lasts and her dreams will never come true and she will undoubtedly die in battle. Combat reports.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Chieko, as the youngest child, always feels like she has something to prove. She's usually quite grumpy and takes everything way too seriously. She's always getting into fights with her sisters or her teammates. She doesn't much care what other people think of her as long as they acknowledge she's the strongest in her family. Her fierce drive pushes her harder then her sisters. Her default reaction in battle it to punch it until it stops moving. The only one who can curb her violent reactions is Umary. Despite Chieko's unhappy disposition she loves her family very much. Her true goal is to protect them, though she'll deny it to her last breath. 【History】 Chieko was the last child to be born to her parents. Shortly after she was born her mother left on a mission leaving her to be raised by her sister. This lead Chieko to believe that she wasn't worth it, that she was weak somehow. When she was young her mother took a break from being a shinobi and took back over the household. Her father did not. It wasn't until she hit her teens that her father was around regularly. When he is home he spends more time with her sister Umary, who inherited his power set. Which Chieko resents. In her younger years she'd push herself to become better. Sometimes she'd vanish for days before returning with a new skill, be it tai- or nin-. She was always a challenging person. Always unhappy with her own skills and viewing herself as never being good enough. She ran Noriko around and tried her best to give her eldest sister white hair. During her absences Chieko saw first hand that the Confederation wasn't all knowing and good. She saw injustice and ended up joining the Red Sages. Despite being two years younger than Umary she became a Chunin at the same time. She will tell anyone who will listen that Umary only passed because she had Chieko on her team. Becoming a Chunin was a proud achievement in Chieko's book. And indeed, it was a proud time for her family. Her Eldest sister then challenged her to make it to a Jounin before she did. Chieko started to make a good effort on her goal. Until the day she left to official join the Red Sages. One day a few weeks ago she packed a small bag and left without a word. Even though she knew it would cause her family pain. But it was the only way to keep them safe. If they knew she defected worse might happen to them. 【Family ties】 Chieko was raised in part by her sister Noriko and her mother. Both treated her more like a student than a daughter. She always felt that they never thought she was good enough. She also resented her father for paying attention only to Umary.

Description: An overall simple move that is generally taught to genin to assist in generating and controlling chakra for the sake of ninjutsu, the shinobi vents electric chakra from his entire body, causing anyone that touches or attacks him to receive minor electrical shocks and burns. Requires the user to not move while preforming this jutsu. Jutsu name: Raikou Boruto no Jutsu (Lightning Release: Lightning Bolt Technique) Rank: C Range: Medium/Long Description: A simple technique in concept and execution, in which the user performs the necessary handseals and then emits a short bolt of lightning from his or her hand. This is a simple bolt, akin to a fireball, as opposed to being a continuous stream. On impact, the target will suffer minor electric shocks. Jutsu name: Seiteki Chikara no Jutsu (Lightning Release: Static Force) Rank: D Range: At what range is this technique useful? You can measure this in 'long' 'medium' or 'short' but those are rather vague. If you want more depth, use a distance such as meters. Description: This jutsu utilizes electricity in order to create static electricity within the hands, this static electricity can have nearby things float to the users hands or repel things away with their hands. This jutsu is not offensive. It uses a lot of chakra if Cheiko wants it to be very strong. Jutsu name: Raiton: Yaiba no Jutsu (Lightning Release: Blade Technique) Rank: C Range: Short Description: This skill allows the user to charge chakra in the form of electricity in the palm. Then, the chakra eventually works up to the fingers, where a blade of electricity is formed between the index and middle finger. The blade is very thin, and depending on the user's chakra, anywhere from 8 inches to a foot long. It is around 2 to 3 inches wide, and it lacks a hilt. The blade is held between the fingers, but as soon as it is let go, the blade vanishes into thin air. The strength of this blade isn't as strong as a normal blade, as it is nowhere as dense or as heavy. But because the blade is very thin, it is capable of doing some major damage, if used properly. Jutsu name: Hikuhiku Eda no Jutsu (Twitching Limb Technique) Rank: C Range: Short/ Contact Description: After the user channels a large amount of electricity in to his hand, making the chakra visible, the user can attack a specific body area of his opponent and fire electricity into it once. Whatever area is struck the muscles immediately begin to constrict and twitch in extreme pain and causes the limb to be unable to move. Jutsu name: Denki Hifu no Jutsu (Electric Skin Technique) Rank: C Range: Short/Contact Description: Upgrade from Heki no Jutsu. Making a simple couple of hand signs the user makes sparks travel along their skin to power up lightning type jutsu's for 5 minutes. This move also makes it very difficult to make contact with the user for the danger of being severely electrocuted. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon name: Kunai. Weapon type: Knife Description: It's a throwing knife. Weapon name: Ninja Throwing Star Description: It's a throwing star.
51,193	1,381	100	1,663	1,134	Yudai KageyamaRed Sages Yudai could see that Nori, Seijo and the man whom he had assumed to be Anzai had gathered in a table. Well, that was a perfect opportunity to socialize with those who he'd later be with in an important mission. Partly, Yudai wanted to ask for what reason he was chosen for this task, specifically; he wasn't particularly powerful and managed to be likely the only one who got hurt in the last task. There were still bandages wrapped around his left arm... But he couldn't question Seijo's authority neither her choices. Slowly, he made his way to their table. Take a seat, and if I may ask, which one are you? Are you Nori-sama or Yudai-sama?" This was the first thing Yudai heard upon getting close enough to hear their conversation. He cast Nori a quick glance, his expression showing a bit of surprise. Oh, of course! He had heard it already; Anzai was blind, but still an excellent shinobi. That's why he couldn't differ Nori from Yudai, yet, he'd certainly know that Yudai was approaching, wouldn't he? People in the Red Sages often commented that Anzai was blind but could see better than many men. Yudai's lips twisted upwards into a smile. "Anzai-sama, Seijo-sama, Nori-san." He calmly addressed each of them, bowing his head slightly before taking a step closer to the table. He held a plate and chopsticks in his hands. "May I, hmm, join y'all's table? I suppose it'd be good to get to know my teammates." With that, he just stood awkwardly there, looking between the three. He was unsure if the fact that he addressed Nori was enough to let Anzai know that it was Yudai. UchihaThe Hamajõ Confederation Each word that came out of the disgusting Yakoul's foul mouth made Kaori wish she had been as powerful as the famed Uchiha Madara or Uchiha Sasuke or whatever Uchiha that had enough power to obliterate the creature. Kaori didn't completely hate Yakoul or wished for it's death, it was just... Thinking back then, it had enough power to stop the red sages but it didn't move a muscle until too late; it allowed for this to happen, just to declare that they were at war. And the attitude it carried, arrogant and superior, was mostly disgusting. Kaori was about to stand up and leave when a known figure planted himself on the empty seat next to her, kicking his feet up on the table and calling her out - naturally, by the clan's name. She turned her head, looking at him with an average expression of nothingness but utter confusion: Until now, she was pretty sure that the Hyuga hated basically everything and everyone, including Kaori and the Uchiha. How'd you like the speech? Must be nice, not having to fight. You were almost dead in that battle, do you know that? You got lucky I was there. And now, he was pursuing conversation with her. Strange, but nonetheless, Kaori welcomed him as she'd welcome anyone who wanted to talk. The only thing that bothered her, was his arrogance; what next, he'd ask her to pay 10,000 yen for his life-saving services? "Well, everything was under control, but I was caught into someone's else genjutsu." She explained herself. Truth be spoken, he was still right and that didn't make things any better. She didn't voice her thoughts about the speech. She was sure Higoho wasn't interested in it too, judging by his expression and manner of speaking, but still found it unnecessary to voice how she utterly despised having to listen to this. Then, he went ahead and invited her to train with the Hyuga, claiming that perhaps they could teach her how to not fall into easy traps. The nerves of this boy! "I'd love to test my skills against," A small pause, her smile faltering only but briefly before her eyes lit up, staring intently at him. "You. And by the way, it's Kaori, Hyuga." She knew his name was Higoho because, well, who hasn't heard about Higoho the bastard? Still, she called him by his clan's name just to return the favor. Naomi UzumakiRed Sages "Naomi. What's going on? You know this man? Also ... Do you still have that red dress while we're here?" The silent shinobi's green eyes lifted up from the ground, staring directly at Arima. The first two questions, she could easily respond to, but the last one made her slightly confused. What was the importance of asking something like that, right now? Naomi decidedly assumed that he was too nervous due to the next mission and thus couldn't think straight. She shifted her weight from a leg to another, moving both hands down to rest each against each of her hips. Then, her mind wandered. Off and away from this mess hall, momentarily, she seemed truly distracted. Naomi's thoughts reminded her of her cousin's words; 'I won't kill anyone'. She still didn't know what mission they were to accomplish, but she couldn't help being worried about her cousin. The many what ifs... what if he let an enemy live, and this same enemy resulted in their failure? See, it was worrying. But she'd just need to watch out and if she needed to, kill whatever Aroshima couldn't. There wasn't an easy way; merciful shinobi wouldn't find mercy for themselves. Then, she began speaking. "Aroshima-kun, well," She replied shortly, casting a brief glance in her cousin's way, before looking at Arima again. "He's decided to help us and he's trustable. You have my word." Not that her word was particularly important, Naomi had been an active member for only two years - it MIGHT look like a lot of time, but it wasn't in reality. Then, she shrugged visibly, raising both of her hands in a questioning manner. "And yes, I do Arima-kun. Why do you ask?" She had genuine interest in what he'd say.	Nero's Compendium! "Pillars are what support a structure, but if one ever crumbles, all of them will fall.” Yudai is a tall and somewhat imposing young man, standing at 5'8" \| 1,78m. His physique appears to be lean, but on closer inspection one could notice that he's in fact fit, with subtle musculature definition everywhere on his body. His hair is a dark brown color and often unkempt, as if he didn't care at all about the way it looks - this is slightly contradicting to the fact that his ears are pierced, which possibly proves that the boy does cares about his appearance. His pale blue eyes constantly flicker from point to point, rarely focusing on something for too long - some note that he always looks distant, as if not paying any attention to his surroudings. The Kanji on his clothes are 影山 (Kageyama, his family name). Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Every aspect of Yudai, at least externally and from his appearance itself, seems distant. His gaze is a constant reminder of this, given the way it roams the whole time, briefly pausing on his surroundings before he takes interest in something else again. Even when Yudai is directly talking to someone, he avoids eye-contact entirely and if someone even tries to stare at him or look directly at his eyes for too long, he'll become rapidly nervous and anxious and might even avoid the person in question for a while. Otherwise, Yudai is relaxed, but extremely observant. His mind is constantly noticing what is actually happening around him and thus, while others might see him as distracted and distant, he's the opposite. He finds his own life rather boring the majority of time which prompts him to search for enthusiasm on other things out on the world. He's also easily interested in hearing stories from others, or even simply listening others talk about their own life. He has his own ambitions of becoming a highly respected political figure or leader, one day. But on the way the world is currently, he shoved such ambitions away and for now, he's only focused on strengthening himself. 【History】 Yudai's birth came from the love between Reiko and Kohaku - sadly, however, Reiko died due to complications at his birth. While the expected outcome was his father to put the blame on him and give Yudai the worst life ever, in order for this story to follow the traditional hero backstory guide, the opposite happened. Kohaku Kageyama was a hard-working man. He used to be a powerful shinobi many years ago, but lost his left eye and his right hand was completely destroyed in the same battle, thus leaving him unapt for battle for the rest of life. The loss of his wife could've disgraced his life forever, but instead, he found new hope on his newborn child, Yudai - the name 'Yudai' itself, was to show the man's hope of a hero, not for the nation, not for the world, but a hero that would save Kohaku himself from utter depression. Which Yudai indeed did. As any other child, he was very, very curious about everything and from the day he began learning his first words, he'd frequently ask his father about everything. Even about the eyepatch the man wore on his left eye, about the bandages around the man's right hand - and when the man began explaining about shinobi, about the wars.. Well, Yudai only became more interested in it altogether. Often, Yudai and Kohaku spent hours chatting about whatever, the subject leaped from how eggs were produced to why the sky was blue. As he matured, reaching the age of eleven, Yudai slowly began developing a strange desire to be someone who had a high position. Power. He wanted to be esteemed in a way that people would admire and respect because of his achievements in life. Of course, it was too soon to think about that, and Yudai was a mere child with an ambition bigger than himself. For now, the boy focused on studying and training. He had taken an immense interest in shinobi. In fact, he spent more time reading about chakra, taijutsu and ninjutsu than he spent studying the school's subjects, which was the reason he almost failed the year. His father aided him when he could, he gave his son clear training routines and made him follow them strictly. He felt immense pride in his son following the same steps as him, while the same time, was divided with the fear that he could end suffering the consequences of a war - like the man himself did. But, the thoughts that peace had finally settled in eased that fear. When Yudai graduated, at the age of 14, he knew exactly that his dream of becoming someone with high power was indeed his true ambition. You see, he received quite the praise for being a dedicated student - even if he almost failed in the past year, he dedicated himself the most to studying this one and got amazing grades, impressing his teachers and father. When they openly talked about him and his dedication, his heart pouded inside his chest with what he could only understand as recognition. Time eventually passed, Yudai grew into a fine - and very attractive - young man. He noticed that women around started to take interest in him, perhaps it was the pale blue eyes, but honestly, he didn't care all that much. Yudai did had quite a few cases with one or another girl here and there, but it never blossomed into a true relationship, he was that type of guy. In fact, the older Yudai got, the more he found his life... boring. It wasn't no one's fault, truly. It was just that his ambition - it was something that seemed far away from his reach, impossible - it was as if he could fight his whole life for it and yet, he'd never taste it. Finally, Yudai finished highschool. It was the same year that he also offically graduated to a chunin rank shinobi - and the year he finally took interest in his own life, even if only just a little. It all started with one group... the Red Sages. Initially, Yudai was very confused about his choices, when he heard about the group, many wrong ideas filled his mind. But, then, he shoved them away - for he knew in the end, that it was for his own best. You see, the Confederation might've been good for the countries, but it left no option for those who wanted to be something bigger or greater. They had nothing for those who wanted... recognition. In the opposite spectrum, the Red Sages were everything; he knew from the start that if he put his power, his will and his life onto it, like an investment, he'd receive what he wanted in return. He heard it - could be rumors indeed, but they were fulfilling rumors of rebels seeking something greater than an illusionary peace. 【Family ties】 Kageyama is an old and traditional family. The majority of it's members were shinobi, with exceptions. They are divided, with a minor part living in Iwagakure and a larger part living in Konohagakure. In Konohagakure, Kageyama were known for running a restaurant which goes by the name of Yama-Yama.

Not only that, he also dreams of becoming an extremely powerful shinobi, in order to ease his own path towards greatness. He fears of not being recognized, or being 'just someone else' - a faceless individual who has nothing, no respect, glory of power. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Yudai is balanced between taijutsu and ninjutsu, rarely resorting to weapons or ranged weapons. He's very intelligent and tactical in his decisions, as if he had read everything there was to read regarding shinobi (which he probably did in his early life). See, while he's quite strong in hand-to-hand combat, Yudai's first choice is to always analyze his opponent. He appears to be MUCH more experienced and prepared than he truly is due to the manner he keeps himself extremely calm, in any situation. To him, a battle is nothing too different from his daily struggle with life itself. Normally, his Doton ninjutsu is used as a defensive manner, instead of offensively. Thus, he'll always avoid ranged assaults with it. Sometimes, he'll use it offensively as nintaijutsu, but only if he finds a true opening to do so. What Yudai lacks is withstanding power. He might have defensive methods with Doton, but he can't take many hits - neither last too long in a battle. His stamina isn't the greatest, nor is his chakra pool; in most battles, he either needs to drop his foes quickly, or avoid in a way or another fighting after he begins tiring. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: N/A Description: Yudai does not possess a kekkei genkai. Strengths: N/A Weaknesses: N/A 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: -- B rank techniques: Doton - Doryūheki Doton - Iwayado Kuzushi C rank techniques: Doton - Moguragakure no Jutsu D-E rank techniques: Doton - Doryū Taiga Doton - Doryūdan Doton - Shinjū Zanshu no Jutsu 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Doton - Kotai no Hakai Rank: A Range: Short/Self - hand to hand range. Description: This powerful technique developed by Yudai himself allows him to concentrate his doton chakra onto his hands and arms, coating them with a solid earthly surface. This requires minor constante chakra usage, but it's not very taxing in the long run. What taxes Yudai's chakra sources, however, is the uses this 'chakra armor' has. When used offensively, Yudai can promptly force earthly spikes to surge from anywhere on his arms - fingers, hands, elbows, shoulders; thus, he make turn what would be an easily readed attack onto an unexpected one. Additionally, this also has defensive uses, meaning that when under assault, Yudai can place his arms together and create a defensive shield that protects him from assasults. This defense is powerful enough to withstand some ninjutsu (especially katon), but is ineffective against futon and raiton. The chakra coating can last for a long time if nor the offensive or defensive effects are used, but whenever Yudai chooses to use them, he'll be drained very quickly. Jutsu name: Doton - Jishin Rank: B Range: Long - a large circular area around Yudai (35m roughly) Description: Yudai does the following handseals: Bird, Dog, Ram, Rat. Then, he leans down and slams both of his hands at the ground, causing a large area around him to erupt onto a shattering earthquake, those standing around him will find it impossible to stand without falling - and falling, means taking huge damage as the doton chakra breaks the earth apart and makes them wildly throw about. The center, where Yudai stands, is completley unaffected. This technique might sound powerful and it indeed is, if used in the center of a village for example, he could likely destroy whole buildings easily --- but he'd be killed before major damage was caused, so this is just an example. Otherwise, agile shinobi who can leap and move far away from the area will easily avoid it. If Yudai is attacked or distracted, it will stop as well. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Can be a term, i.e 'kunai' or it can be a self given name, i.e 'Revered Razor'. Weapon, tool or object type: What type of weapon, tool or object is this? Sword, axe, kunai, knife, blade, tanto. Omit if the weapon, tool or object name already designates this.

Kaori has a round face, with large eyes, a delicate and small nose and thin lips.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Kaori is usually seen as a cheerful young girl who's still inexperienced to the world's hardships, but that's simply because of her manner of expressing herself; she's kind, even gentle to certain extent and isn't fond of conflicts, always preferring peaceful manners unless using force is an absolute must. That's not to say she's scared of fighting though, Kaori simply adores friendly spars and testing her own abilities- otherwise, she wouldn't ever take training as serious as she does. Despite her cheerful nature, Kaori is not exactly a social butterfly. See, she believes that being positive and keeping her spirit high is helpful to herself and to others in a way. However, it's very rare for Kaori to approach someone and talk openly, rather, she's quite timid and avoids talking unless she's talked to first and usually, being talked to makes her very happy. When it comes to her clan, the Uchiha, Kaori takes high pride in them. In fact, she believes herself superior but doesn't voices it - unless she gets too excited in a battle, to notice. She views the Sharingan as a gift, but only uses it in battle when she clearly needs it, given she has this slight fear of overusing or overshowing her doujutsu, especially in consideration with the events of the past that has led others to develop a distrust towards the sharingan. This same distrust, is what makes Kaori very cautious about talking to strangers, after all, there is still some prejudice against the sharingan specifically, given the events of the past, given the way things are - given the Confederation's actions against some of Kaori's brethren. Lastly, Kaori is very comprehensible and whenever she relates to someone, she tends to become very interested in developing a friendship. She has no interest in any sort of romantic interaction, after all, she's pretty sure she's not the one to gather that sort of interest, anyway. 【History】 Kaori's early life has been quite different than the usual. See, both her mother and her father are shinobi - both also very strict in the sense of pointing Kaori in the same direction as them: Which meant she was trained from the day she could walk. Kaori had two siblings, both boys, one older by a few years and the other, two years older than her. Their names were Kichirou and Keiji, respectively. Kichirou was an arrogant man, see, he had the Sharingan and that very motive led him to be, simply put, an asshole towards mostly everyone. Filled with pride beyond limit, he thought of himself as utterly superior - being a prodigy didn't help. Kichirou was way above the average when it came to shinobi, with only eleven years, he achieved the feat of developing a second chakra nature which was the reason he was then hailed as a genius. Kaori was only six when this happened, while Keiji was eight - he had just entered school. Usually, both trained together but Keiji was too focused at school, he had a peculiar desire of being an inventor or scientist - Kaori could never understand clearly - that draws him away from the training fields. This was frowned upon by her parents, more specifically her father. The man had this strange... desire to blindly follow the Confederation, claiming that the Uchiha had to be a strong clan in order to prove and... redeem themselves. Kaori would only understand that years later. On a cold night, a few days before Kaori's 7th birthday, a scene marked her forever. Through her window, she saw both her father and Keiji outside, having what seemed to be a small discussion. The boy held some books under his arms and was apparently refusing a 'gift' that Kaori's father was offering him - a katana. From the little Kaori could understand, Keiji tried to explain to their father that he wasn't interested in becoming a shinobi and that he believed there were other ways to help and be useful; in the end, all she could remember was Keiji being severely beaten by their own father while all she could do was watching. This forever changed the way she saw her father. War changes someone, truly. That was what had happened with Kaori's father, he was changed, molded by war. Perhaps he believed that it would happen again and wanted his offsprings to be prepared, perhaps it was something else, perhaps he was simply put, insane. Kaori never quite understand his fixation with training and becoming stronger, but what she could understand is that her oldest brother wasn't the only gifted Uchiha of this family, for that night, Kaori's anger and fear evoked a power hidden within her; she awakened her Sharingan. However, she never told her father. Instead, that motivated her to train more. It wasn't to please the man, no, it was to fulfill herself. Her older brother could be as arrogant as she wanted, but Keiji was always there for her, and she, for him. The boy returned to train with Kaori and for the first time in all these eleven years, she had beaten him - and very easily, too. The excitement and buildup of this whole spar awarded Kaori with a second tomoe in her left eye and brought immense surprise to Keiji, but he promised to never tell anyone. During school, all Kaori thought was when it'd end so she could return to her training; she wasn't a bright student, honestly, but Keiji who was seriously smart helped her a lot. When she was close to turning 12, her oldest brother was found dead within the village's borders. This utterly crushed the family, but specifically, Kaori's father entered a state of depression. He treated the whole family as if it was their fault and practically locked himself in his room for a whole year, very rarely getting out. During this time, Kaori had improved a lot. By now, she had developed three tomoes on her left eye, and two on her right eye. Her reaction time, reflexes and precision had seen a jump, and so had her genjutsu and ninjutsu. Her mother, a genjutsu specialist, taught her a few things which aided her. Keiji had been awarded a prize of best student of the year or something akin to that which Kaori never knew roughly in the same date Kaori's sharingan fully matured. The following years went by swiftly, Kaori trained and improved, developing jutsu of her own - while her older brother started working as a project analyst or something of the sort, within the Confederate. She received a pleasant gift from him on her sixteen birthday: A sword, Keiji guaranteed her that this prototype was much more resistant and that wouldn't break or melt easily as the many other swords Kaori had destroyed until now. He also mentioned that the sword was specifically made to withstand katon chakra - and lastly, he made Kaori an offer. To join the Confederate, given her potential as a shinobi. She thought for a while, truth be spoken she was quite afraid of becoming as crazy as her father, but the girl ended up giving a wild smile and agreeing with him. 【Family ties】 As an Uchiha, Kaori'll have ties with mostly any Uchiha, period. But they're all pretty vague apart from her own family itself. Takeshi Uchiha \| Father \| 53, Konohagakure, ex-Veteran, temporarily retired-confederate jounin Takeshi retired due to his trauma after his older son's death, he has yet to recover. Michiko Uchiha \| Mother \| 44, Konohagakure, shinobi - genjutsu specialist Kichirou Uchiha \| Brother \| 26, Konohagakure, deceased Keiji Uchiha \| Middle-Brother \| 18, Konohagakure, confederate project analyst 【Dreams and fears】 Kaori has yet to find true dreams and ambitions to follow. She's young and still looking for something to, well, follow. Maybe an ideal. Honestly, her fears are very vague, as well. She partially fears her own father, but her biggest fear is losing her brother Keiji, who has been the closest person to her since ever. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Kaori focuses on using Fire Release to dispel of her foes, burning them down, together with very efficient genjutsu provided by her Sharingan. She's experienced in hand to hand, but it's easy to tell her taijutsu is her weaker side - even with the added aid from the Sharingan abilities provide her. While Taijutsu is a weak spot, her Kenjutsu is noticeably better, as her movements with a sword are clearly trained and precise, especially given she can use her blade together with fire release in order to increase it's efficiency. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Sharingan Description: The Sharingan (写輪眼, Literally meaning: Copy Wheel Eye, Meaning (Viz): Mirror Wheel Eye) is the dōjutsu kekkei genkai of the Uchiha clan that appears selectively among its members. It is regarded as one of the Three Great Dōjutsu (三大瞳術, San Daidōjutsu, Literally meaning: Three Great Eye Techniques), the others being the Byakugan and the Rinnegan. Strengths: Kaori's Sharingan is fully matured, meaning that it has three tomoes on each eye. This means that when active, Kaori is granted both abilities; the Eye of Insight, giving her the ability to see chakra in different colors in order to distinguish composition and source, an incredibly clarity of perception, meaning that she can see even very fast attacks with some ease and she's capable of minimum predictive abilities, anticipating an opponent's next move or attack and lastly, copy jutsu - but only those she has the ability and knowledge to replicate. Secondly, she's granted the "Eye of Hypnotism", which means Kaori can perform what is generically called Genjutsu: Sharingan. While there are various manifestations and purposes of the ability, the better known one is to, through eye contact, suggest thoughts and actions to a target, coercing them to divulge information or act in a particular way, potentially without the target's awareness. In extreme cases, the Sharingan user can take complete control of the target's body, forcing them to do exactly as the controller wishes; this control is visually indicated by the Sharingan's design appearing in the target's eye. Kaori's ability with this is actually pretty good, a momentarily eye-contact with her Sharingan active is enough to put her opponent in a dangerous genjutsu. Weaknesses: The Sharingan is a worldly known Dojutsu, thus, everyone should be able to recognize it instantly. This makes the Genjutsu very hard to apply, as all the opponent needs to do, is avoid eye-contact. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: N/A B rank techniques: Katon: Gōka Mekkyaku Katon: Haisekishō C rank techniques: Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu D-E rank techniques: Genjutsu: Sharingan While Kaori is skilled to certain extent, she has yet to achieve a grand power-level with genjutsu used through her sharingan. In a brief eye contact, she can merely put her opponent(s) in a simpler genjutsu, that requires little to no effort to break them (if they know how to do so). If there is prolonged eye contact however, she'll be able to cast greater genjutsu. 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Ken Katai (Fire Sword) Rank: C~A Range: Self / Sword's Range Description: Kaori flows an intense blazing chakra through her sword's blade, coating the whole blade with it. The more chakra she uses, the more noticeable it gets given the sword's blade begins turning a slight shade of red - until reaching the maximum, a deep crimson color. The amount of chakra also changes the effects and their strength. If Kaori only uses a minor amount of chakra (C rank), the blade's cutting power increases slightly, the heat makes leave dents whenever it strikes another simple sword or iron object, if in contact with skin, it burn while it cuts. If moderate chakra is applied (B rank) her sword becomes denser and can cut through other swords of average material with some force applied. If it cuts, it will instantly seal the wound - preventing blood, but causing immense pain. With the maximum Kaori can achieve (A rank), the sword's heat raises it's potency to where it could easily cut through iron and even steel, as well as bones with ease. This technique, if applied on an average sword, would only last a few seconds at maximum potency due to how the chakra would also melt the blade it was applied to, itself, but Kaori can keep this technique up for as long as her chakra allows due to her own blade, which would be two to three hours with C rank, one to two hours at B rank, and only two minutes when it achieves the maximum heat (2~3 posts, depending on the time ICly). Jutsu name: Genjutsu: Burning Hell Rank: B Range: Medium Description: Kaori does the required handseals (Tiger, boar, dragon) while she takes a deep breath, then, she exhales the air in the form of a strange smoke that will divide and proceed to form a circle around a small area, before igniting ablaze. This fire, by itself, is harmless. However, if an enemy feels the fire's heat, they'll slowly fall onto a genjutsu prepared by Kaori together with this technique. The heat will increase even if they move away from the flames and they'll eventually increase to the point where it's unbearable, the opponent might try to take their clothes off, throw water onto their body, drink water - no matter, it will never work and the heat will only increase, eventually they'll feel as if every drop of water in their body has been dried and pass out, if the genjutsu is not broken. 【Weaponry, tools and objects】 Weapon, tool or object name: Hinõken Weapon, tool or object type: A katana. Description: Hikoken looks like a simple katana, with a red, beautiful handle. The sword is of excellent craft and it's blade is chakra resistant, allowing the wielder to flow their chakra through it - the blade is specifically repective to katon chakra, which is the reason it was given to Kaori. “Let's end this quickly.” As usual to Uzumaki, Naomi's hair is a crimson red, it's short - with two bangs framing her face and the back is spiky, styled per her own taste. She wears simple silver earrings on each ear and a thin black eyeliner, meaning that she seemingly cares about her outward appearance. Her eyes are a vivid green, intense and large, usually her most prominent trait when one looks directly at her face. She's always wearing a scarf around her neck, the color varies but she usually sports a mix of red, green, yellow and dark orange scarves. Naomi wears a sleeveless dark gray jacket with a simple light gray blouse underneath, a pair of red fingerless gloves that reach her elbows (the seals of her Kuchiyose: Raikō Kenka are placed on the gloves) and slate gray tight pants that are tucked onto a pair of black boots. Notably, the only visible color on the woman's figure is her scarf and her hair. Her figure is slender yet curvaceous, with notable curves adorning her body. Some satchels are seen; one wrapped around her left thigh, another on her right shoulder and a larger one on the right side of her waist. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Naomi is usually seen as arrogant and stuck up due to her cold demeanor and for being otherwise cool-headed. Thing is, she's not arrogant or stuck up, she simply takes being a shinobi as her life, in and out of a mission or task; she's focused, always, and eliminates any emotion that could possibly disrupt her performance. Considered cruel by those who are more sensitive than her, Naomi takes the death of comrades lightly, analyzing it often with 'the enemy was a better shinobi than him/her', this is not entirely true though, Naomi feels the death of a comrade as anyone else capable of feeling would, she just keeps her suffering to herself and hides it entirely. Being so cold and closed off emotionally, it's hard to befriend anyone - not that she wants to, anyway. Naomi doesn't cares about forming bonds with others, surely there has been an increasing trend of forming bonds within the younger shinobi, but she denies them completely. She also doesn't care about hostility, insults or whatever else, she ignores them completely and even when provoked, she keeps the same stoic expression she always has. In battle is where her emotions flow with intensity above her usual: The adrenaline makes so whenever she's hit, she'll smirk or grin smugly, whenever she hits something, you'll see the same smirk but much broader than before. The more fast paced a battle is, the more she'll enjoy it thoroughly and the more she'll dedicate to the fight. Still, it's very rare for her to exchange words with the opposing shinobi, given her self-control that's dominant even above the adrenaline. Talk about dedication, Naomi is very dedicated to her job as a shinobi - and well, to everything else. As one of her philosophies in life, which is to do everything you do the best way you can, she truly dedicates herself entirely whenever she needs to do something and despises those who's nature is being lazy and avoid hard-work. She also tends to despise those who are gifted with power that requires no true work whatsoever; an example would be those who possess the well known dojutsu (Sharingan or Byakugan). This is a bit hypocritical given she's gifted with the Uzumaki's clan natural strong lifeforce and chakra resources. She sympatizes the most with individuals who are similarly hard-working and dedicate themselves in something and may be willing to interact with them, but forming any close bond is practically impossible as of now. Commonly, Naomi spends a good portion of her day training and improving herself. Distracting her from that usually ends with a huff or a sigh, or any minor sign of annoyance that she'll allow herself to do. Still, she won't scold anyone over anything, ever - she's calm and collected, after all, not arrogant and stuck up. She's actually pretty fine with aiding others if they need so (with training or whatever else), even. She may be a bit self-centered and cold, emotionally, but she's not a psycho who's only emotion ever is adrenaline while fighting. To certain extent, Naomi is capable of being friendly, it all depends the mannerisms of whoever she talks or interacts with. Highly concerned with herself, Naomi fears death above everything else, despite her otherwise cold demeanor and the way she enjoys fighting. When an opponent is clearly overwhelming and above her skill level, she'll... fear them. Of course, trained to hide her emotions, she won't show it at all. This extends itself to allies, out of all the things she's ashamed about herself, the fact that she couldn't possibly put her life in risk in order to save another's is her 'biggest shame'. 【History】 Two Years ago. Naomi's eyes briefly flutter closed, reopening to look down at her extended right palm, a hitai-ate with Konohagakure's symbol resting over it, together with blood that was slowly being washed away by the rain. The girl looks up at the sky, raindrops mixing themselves with the tears that silently made their way down her cheeks. She closed her eyes again. Next to her, was a corpse - a female, with a pale white hair, she was clearly dead - with some blood under her, slowly mixing itself with the water from the intense rain. Suddenly, the kunoichi falls onto her knees, she's completely wet due to the rain at this point. Her palms rest against the ground, pressing the hitai-ate firmly against it. She sobs quietly, but only for a moment before taking a deep breath to recompose herself. "Is this what I'm fighting for? This is what the Confederation has to offer me? THIS IS PEACE?!" With her left hand, Naomi punches the ground with all the force she could muster in her current state. It does nothing. "That's the very least the Confederation will offer you, my dear." A mysterious voice. Masculine. Naomi instantly stood up and held a kunai up, looking around her in an attempt to find it's source. She couldn't see anyone, at all. "We, the Red Sages, we only retaliate against the Confederation's attempt to CRUSH us time and time again. We provoked a war, but only to reclaim what's rightfully ours." The voice, this time, was directly behind her. When she turned, ready to strike the kunai onto the man, he had already disappeared, or so it seemed. He was so fast, that she couldn't keep up with his movements despite how close he was. When she turned, he grabbed her wrist and twisted it back, forcing her to drop the kunai. At this moment, Naomi knew that whoever this man was, he was powerful. Her eyes widened and her breath fastened, she was fearing the outcome of this: Her death. "Do you realize? My only desire was to explain you why your friend lies dead at your feet. Why this system, this PEACE is nothing but a bold lie, explicitly shoved down the throats of all brain dead imbeciles that follow the confederation's tyranny out of nothing but FEAR." Suddenly, the man threw her hand back, grabbed her by both shoulders and shoved her down, forcefully throwing the girl onto the ground. As she looked up, directly into his eyes, he smirked. Those eyes... The Sharingan of the Uchiha, most certainly. And then, she feel in a genjutsu; not to torture, not to destroy her. It was a different genjutsu, that Naomi had never experienced. She was seeing through his eyes - it all, whenever it was a lie, it was vivid and felt real. It... was real. And she could hear his voice in the back of her mind, explaining in detail what she was seeing. The struggle and suffering you are seeing, it's product of the Confederation's corruption. Of it's failed systems, of it's members extravagance and luxurious life. While he explained, she saw it all. Robbers risking their life for a loaf of bread, farmers struggling with what little they had... Then, acts of tyranny; overwhelming attacks from masses of Confederation shinobi against small rebel camps and not only that, they attacked shinobi and average folks alike, even farmers that were simply next to the rebel's camps, all were destroyed, nearly instantly. Some rebels rushed to defend themselves, but were quickly put down; there was a prominent figure that stood out in the Confederate's forces, someone Naomi knew. Then, darkness. Everything became dark. (You may close the rainymood now, if you were so kind to keep it open in order to increase immersion) When she woke up, she was in a crude basement of sorts. Crude, but functional. Many red-sage shinobi moved from a place to another, some carried wooden crates, others were simply chatting about. When she sat up, she was approached by the same figure as before: he looked far less intimidating. There was some movement, people stood up and moved away - soon, she was left alone with him. And then, the offer was made; to join them, or be set free. Strange, weren't they carnage-seeking devils? The man naturally explained their whole cause. In the end, after everything she had seen through the previous genjutsu, she couldn't refuse. Someone had to stop the Confederation. At first, it was difficult taking such an enormous step that changed completely her life - and the majority of the red sages distrusted her presence as a whole, being previously sided with the Confederation. But, on her first missions, minor or not, as a red sage, she showed that she had indeed placed her loyalty with them. After being showed the truth through such a brutal manner, it was difficult not to. As a side note, this is only the chapter which explains how Naomi switched sides. She's currently secretive about being a part of the Red Sages, nonetheless. 【Family ties】 Naomi's family was healthy until the death of her mother, which threw her father in an enraged state; he then became increasingly harder to deal with. The man took his own life when Naomi was seven, that changed her forever. Aika Uzumaki \| Mother \| 39, Konohagakure, deceased at the age of 26 Itama Uzumaki \| Father \| 42, Konohagakure, took his own life at the age of 30 【Dreams and fears】 Naomi dreams of one day overcoming her biggest fear, which is dying currently and she wants to find a way to stop feeling fear as a whole, knowing that such emotion is a result of cowardness. Note that overcoming death is not, well, dying. She just knows that clinging so much to her own life as a shinobi is rather embarassing. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 With an enhanced life-force and vast chakra resource, Naomi is certainly not above keeping a constant offensive on her foes, only falling defensive if she's overwhelmed or outnumbered. Her speed, agility, flexibility and reflexes are impressive. She has trained herself to have some great precision with her attacks, as well. From a medium distance, she's dangerous due to her shurikenjutsu prowess and in close-combat, she's a force to be reckoned with. Long distance, she falls short due to the drop in effectiveness of her shurikenjutsu. She also lacks effective defensive mechanisms, relying on dodging and avoiding being hit to keep herself safe. Her endurance is solid, as any Uzumaki - so is her stamina. In drawn out fights against opponents of the same level as her, she might have advantage due to taking much longer to get tired. Due to her chakra being vast, she's capable of utilizing the Shadow Clone technique, often gaining an advantage on single fights. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu B rank techniques: Kage Bunshin no Jutsu Kuchiyose: Raikō Kenka C rank techniques: Kuchiyose no Jutsu D-E rank techniques: Kaifū no Jutsu Kawarimi no Jutsu Shunshin no Jutsu 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Raiton: Kaminari Yoroi (Lightning Release: Thunder Armor) Rank: B Range: Self Description: Naomi covers her body is lightning chakra, using the lightning to stimulate the her nervous system. By speeding up her neural synapses, she's able to react faster, and to push physical prowess to the absolute limit, allowing for tremendous raw speed. This, combined with Naomi's natural agility and reflexes, turns her into a fearsome opponent while active; it also enhances her lightning release techniques, allowing her to perform nintaijutsu moves and react to things that she otherwise wouldn't be able to. The chakra usage is not as intense as it looks on Naomi, given her vast chakra resources, meaning that she can keep this technique up for long periods of time. Wind techniques can shut the technique down, even if temporarily. This techniques does not increase Naomi's raw strength, only her speed and reflexes. Jutsu name: Raiton: Keikai Denka (Lightning Release: Nimble Charge) Rank: C Range: Close Description: Lightning Chakra is focused on Naomi's arms and shoulders, she'll dash recklessly towards a foe with immense speed produced by the previously activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode and attempt to slam them with her shoulder. This attack is simple all in all, but it's effective given the speed Naomi travels from her current position to her foes' position. If it hits, the opponent takes both taijutsu damage and the electricity might shock them for extra, yet minor damage. It may also cause minor damage to Naomi's shoulder, too. Jutsu name: Raiton: Kaminari Shuriken (Lightning Release: Lightning Shuriken) Rank: C Range: Medium, long with less effectiveness Description: Naomi produces three handseals (boar, dragon, snake) before taking a number of shuriken onto her hands and channeling lightning chakra through them, after she throws they'll gain speed and piercing power, able to break through minor earth release defenses. If they hit someone, the opponent'll receive a much deeper wound than they would to an average shuriken, and electricity will shock their body internally, causing weaker shinobi to fall unconscious if they're hit by more than five or so. Stronger nin could easily resist this, though. Jutsu name: Raiton: Kiyomemasu (Lightning Release: Cleanse) Rank: E Range: Self Description: A simple technique that functions with the same intent as the use of Kai to liberate yourself from a genjutsu. The difference is that if Naomi notices herelf under a genjutsu, she can simply do a single handed seal, producing lightning chakra of her own that enters her body and, if need be, even travels to her brain's vessel network and eliminates any foreign chakra that is trapping her under a genjutsu. The difference between this and the average method of leaving genjutsu, is that this technique acts faster and only a single hand is needed, if she's paralysed or restrained. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Many, many shuriken. Weapon, tool or object type: Shuriken Description: They are shuriken, sealed and ready to use in a random basement. They're likely summoned when she touches her wrists, the end. Weapon, tool or object name: Some kunai. Weapon, tool or object type: A kunai. Description: Usually kept in the pouches she carries with herself. Useful kunai. Weapon, tool or object name: Explosive Tags Weapon, tool or object type: An explosive tag. Description: They're explosive tags, but she only carries a small number of them to avoid accidents. Kept in a pouch on her shoulder. Weapon, tool or object name: Wire strings Weapon, tool or object type: Wire. Strings. Description: Usually used in conjuction with shuriken for unpredictable effects.
51,194	1,381	101	1,918	8,262	Tatsuya Kajiya-Terumi Tatsuya was brought slightly out of his brooding state by the blue haired girl the Cat had put in charge of patrol and her . . . friend, he assumed, not sure what to make of the age gap between the two. Well, if I end up getting a crap assignment or paired up with the Crown Prince of Douchebags, I'll have someone to blame He thought with a slight chuckle as they went off to eat something, if their conversation was anything to go by. The mention of lunch, however, had made Tatsuya acutely aware of how little he'd eatenmst the festival before things went to hell, his stomach growling like a caged beast. He would take sometime to ask a few local shinobi were the good eateries were, cause while he knew of several fast food places in the area due to advertising, he liked to avoid that stuff whenever possible. His life expectancy was short enough already as a shinobi, no need to make it any shorter. Once he'd gotten the location of a good diner that was open 24/7, he began walking down the city streets for a little bit as he followed the directions that he'd been given, only to stop and turn around to face his stalker. He'd noticed her following him shortly after he left the area around the Meeting hall, though given the lack of effort, he didn't think she was trying hard to be stealthy. "So, do I know you or something?" He asked genuinely, as he couldn't remember ever meeting her before. Fucking hell, why do I feel like this is Bishamon's fault	Name: Katon: Phoenix Egg Bomb(Subject to change) Rank: A Range: Mid Description: After making the needed hand seals, Akio conjures up a concentrated inferno of blazing heat, focusing it over her palm. It'll take a post for this jutsu to charge up, but when it does the flames will take on a egg-like shape as Akio thrusts her hand out to launch it at her foes. Upon impact with an object, the egg will explode with a huge amount of force and intense white hot heat. The radius of the explosion would be somewhere between 5-10m, though the intense heat can be felt from much farther away, burning skin, drying up moisture in the air, and causing fatigue through dehydration if an enemy is caught near the edge of the blast. The explosion itself takes the form of a phoenix rising high into the sky. The flames that the explosion created will stay for about 2 posts, however, the heat lessening by a great deal until it finally fizzes out. At this point, Aoi can use this jutsu with little strain, upping her usage to about 6 times before it starts to take it's toll. Seiteki Suji no Jutsu (Static Strings Technique) Rank:D Description: This skill allows the user to create strings of electricity that can either act physically as strings, or as a medium that can send small shocks to an opponent. One of this technique's most useful features is its ability to allow the user to detect outsiders. When the strings are placed around an area, they are often fairly difficult to see, and unnoticed by the quick eye. But when the string is used to detect outsiders, they can adapt a quality that is string-like and electrical at the same time. This quality makes the static strings into a string of electricity, but with such a weak current that it is rarely noticed by Shinobi who accidentally walk through the strings. However, when this happens, the user at once will feel a small shock in their fingers, or where ever else they are keeping the strings intact. But unless the opponent felt the weak current as they walked through the strings, the opponent will usually never know the strings were there. But beyond its ability to detect outsiders, this skill can be used as a normal string when it is needed but none is around, or it can be used to create small shocks to other people. However, the shocks are only a little bit stronger than static electricity, and usually do no damage at all. Jutsu Name: Raiton: Thunder Bow Rank B Range Mid to Long Can be fired at a target up to a 100m away Description: Akio forms a bow out of lightning chakra, from which she can draw back and fire bolts of electricity from, the amount of power dealt depending on how long she holds it for. A quick draw only does a low-medium amount of damage and has no lingering effects. A Charged shot, which takes about 1 post to form up, does a fair deal more damage and will leave the target temporarily stunned if direct contact is made. The charged shot can also be split into four homing shots, which'll lock onto the opponents chakra signature. These only do slightly more damage than a quick shot on their own, but if all three hit the same target, then the damage can be even greater than a charged shot and can explode out to damage foes within a meter of the target. Akio can now fire a detonation shot with a charged up bolt, which is less powerful overall, but can paralyze a whole group of individual for a few moments. She can also create a piercing shot, which has more focused electrical energy for more power and damage, but has reduced ranged as well, only being able to go about half as far as a normal charged shot. The piercing shot can pierce through most standards armors and defensive jutsu of equal rank or lower, not including elemental weakness into play, in which it can probably partially get through lower A-rank Earth Style Jutsu and be halted by upper C rank Wind Style jutsu. Static strings can be attached to the quick fire shots, so that if they hit, the user can hold the foe in place by running a constant stream of electricity through it, locking her muscles in place. If this is done, neither Akio nor the target can move so it's not a good move for one on one, but good for lining up holding an enemy in place for another teammate to take down. Edit: Through training, Akio has managed to work down the weakness of her static strings down so that only one of her limbs is paralyzed and not her whole body, meaning that she won't be able to form jutsu while holding a foe down, but she can still move, dodge attacks, and counterattack reasonable well, though she still has to be able to keep some focus on the connection while moving, or else it'll break, thus she won't be able to move as fast as she normally could. Katon: Myaku Hitofuki no Jutsu (Fire Release: Pulse Blast Technique) Rank: B Range: Close to Mid Description: An extremely useful jutsu, this one has the effect of flushing out or separating multiple opponents. Hurling a fireball about the size of a basketball, it is meant to be dodged in order to be effective. For at center of this fireball is a gaseous core which, when the spherical attack finally makes contact with something, will explode and this gas will expand rapidly in a loud bang. The bang is simply a precursor though, as instantly afterwards a sharp concussive force will issue out all around the center of the blast. Though the explosion of the attack itself is not very strong, the force it sends out is enough to knock anyone who is within a certain radius of it flying. Katon: Kudakasei no Jutsu (Fire Release: Shatter Force Technique) Rank: A Range: Close Range technique, with the base diameter of the blast radius being around 5 meters Description: Built upon the principles of Katon: Myaku Hitofuki no Jutsu, this technique instead acts as a much more powerful, centralized version. Gathering heat in between both hands the user focuses it until it cannot be condensed further. Manifested as a sphere of raw, glowing energy it is at first held at bay as if only for show. Then, given any cue, the user slams the sphere into the ground, causing it to explode with the power of pure heat behind it. The user is unaffected by this burst of power, but anyone within the radius of the blast suffers some unsettling consequences alongside the devastating concussive force it sends forth. This technique, by sheer strength alone, has even been known to crack boulders. Separate effects of the jutsu are that the intense heat dehydrates any opponents caught within the radius of the blast, drawing them closer to fatigue, blurring their vision and causing mild headaches all the while. Minor, first-degree burns may also result from this technique. Jutsu Name: Raiton: Raikou Hitofuki no Jutsu (Lightning Release: Lightning Blast Technique) Rank: C Range: Close to Mid Description: This jutsu allows the user to fire off a continuous blast of electrical energy at an opponent, causing only minor burns but a great deal of pain as it courses through the foes system. Jutsu Name: Raiton: Cloak of the Thundering Phoenix Rank: S Range: Self Description: A Variant of the Lightning Armor Jutsu, this jutsu cloaks the Akio in an intense aura of electricity that takes the form of phoenix around them. While under the influence of this jutsu, Akio's speed, reaction time, and physical attack power gains a substantial increase, though not to the level that is seen by users of the original technique, as well as boosting the power of her Raiton jutsu, thus negating the charge up of her more power Thunder bow attacks. She can also up her mobility on the battlefield by gliding and hovering in the air for short periods of times using the wings this jutsu gives her, though she has yet to achieve true flight using this technique. Finally, the wings can also be formed into a defensive wall at a moments notice, incase she's targeted by an attack she can't dodge, but they can only block a single attack of up to A-rank in power, and Wind Style jutsu of Mid A-rank and higher will always be able to partially get through these defenses. Once the attack has been blocked, the wings will disperse and Akio will spend the remainder of the jutsu's duration moving at a reduced speed compared to before, though still noticeably faster than her base speed, as well as no longer being able to hover or glide due to the loss of her wings. This jutsu duration is for about 6 posts, though it can be lengthened to up to 9 by feeding more chakra into it, though this worsens the drawback once the jutsu ends. After the base duration runs out, her entire body will become numb and cause her speed and reaction time to drop as a result. This lasts for about three posts, but if she lengthened it, it can lengthen to about 6 posts and only allows her to move at a third of her base speed. If she tries to go over that limit, though possible, it will result in her body becoming completely paralyzed, as well as the obvious threat of chakra exhaustion. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon: Shuriken Description: A basic tool every ninja should have, it can be lethal if it hits a vital spot, but they are also good in creating some space for the fighter. Tool: Chakra Pill Description: Weapon: Kunai Description: A basic tool every ninja should have, it's the only weapon Akio has when it comes to CQC fighting. Weapon: Tanto Description: A short, straight, single edged dagger that has no point and is used primarily for slashing attacks. Weapon: Ninja Wire Description: A strong metal wire that can be used in various ways. Weapon: Senbon Description: A precision tool that, despite it's low lethality, can be very effective in slowing down and paralyzing an opponent if they are placed in the right place. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 After the war and her break-up with Aoi, Akio has become a very emotionally withdrawn individual, focusing only on either training or her duties as a shinobi, and spending very little time socializing with others anymore. While she still has the sarcastic remark or joke ready whenever it's needed, she no longer talks with people in depth. If they try to get to know her personally, she'll either redirect the conversation away from herself or just shut down, not speaking another word until the person gets the message and leaves her alone. Along with this, Akio has developed a bit of a drinking habit, not a terrible one, but noticeable. She always tends to have one bottle of some form of liquor on her when not on a mission, and she can be a bit cranky at times on missions due to the fact that she can't drink while on the job, a self-imposed rule so that her habit never interferes with her work. On really bad days, however, one could find Akio totally hammered in her home, in which she becomes a depressive, self-loathing mess that is constantly asking people to comfort her and listen to her problems, as well as provide . . . other forms of relief. 【History】 Before the massacre, her life wasn't really that great as her father saw her as nothing as a mistake and an embarrassment for two reasons. The first is that she was a bastard child, a mark of shame on his honor as the Tendou family patriarch, though it was that same honor that duty bound him to take the child in, as her mother had died during childbirth. The second reason was that she was never good enough, and while she wasn't the most skilled of individuals, she was still rather good, some would say better than most. But it was never enough for Akira Tendou, he demanded perfection, and severely punished those who did not meet his requirements. And as she hardly ever did, she was often met with scorn from her father, who never once acknowledged her as his daughter. And while that should've devastated her, she didn't find herself minding too much. She never once considered Akira Tendou as her father in the sense that he was a man to come to with her woes, worries, and needs, as that regard went to her older brother, Kokatsu. Ever since she came into their home, Kokatsu was extremely protective of her, getting into several fights with Akira and most of them ending in some sort of violence. Since she was young, she never got to see Kokatsu darker side, and she believes that he wanted to keep it that way as he made extreme efforts to avoid telling her about his job in any specific detail. He also expressed some sorrow when it became apparent that she was going to be joining the Shinobi forces, though never actively spoke out against it, unlike her father who was certain that she'd never pass and if she did, never make it pass a lowly genin. If things had continued as normal, then he may have been right, for even she had begun to doubt her self and her reasons for becoming a ninja, of whether she was ready for the life they lived. But instead, soon after her seventh birthday, all hell broke loose. A ceremony was held, as Akira had decided to pass on his position as Clan Patriarch to his son, claiming he had never been prouder for him. Kokatsu took the Tendou blade(an artifact past down from Patriarch to Patriarch since before the elemental nations were even concieved) and, with a smile as bright as the sun, slew his father where he stood, dropping the weapon to perform a quick string of handsigns before slamming his fingers into the fresh corpse. An eerie red light rose from the ground around him, and it was until many months after the event that she would hear that at the time, seals popped up all throughout the city. And so it was that Kokatsu opened a portal between this world and a world of darkness to unleash death upon all who lived within it. Only a single order was given, spare the children of the Tendou clan, they had done no wrong. And so it was that behind a veil of darkness, hundreds if not thousands died horrid, painful deaths, all the while a menacing laugh would echo through out it all. When the barrier fell and the demons fled, Kokatsu held out his hand for Akio to grab, only for her to flinch away, looking at her blood trenched sibling in horror. Akio couldn't remember a time where her brother had looked more hurt then at that time, and yet she also couldn't remember a time where he seemed more relieved. He offered no pressure or force, just left without a word, and leaving her alone in a nightmare of blood, death, and sorrow. After the event, the Tendou children were taken in and eventually handed over to adoptive parents to raise them. Of those children, four would go insane from the trauma of what they witnessed as they grew up, one even committing suicide after slaughtering his adoptive parents. Tendou children where treated with a mix of pity, fear, and for Akio, hatred. Given how closely related she was to Kokatsu, there were people, kids especially, who would take out their grief of lost loved ones out on her. This made it hard for her to trust and approach people, and also made it so she hated her features that so easily gave her away. But in the midst of these hardships, an ember began to burn bright with newly discovered passion. She developed a burning drive to train herself, to become as strong as possible. She was able to pass the academy with only minor difficulties, and did her best in her genin missions no matter what the they were. However, in the early years of her life, this passion nearly consumed her, as she withdrew from everyone, constantly running herself into the ground, and then some, for a reason that she wasn't even sure of. In actuality, she felt partially to blame for what happened to Kokatsu, thinking in her subconscious mind that if she had somehow been there for him more, it could've been avoided. As life went on, however, she found herself to be taken unde the wing of Tsukiko Umene. The older jonin would drop by from time to time to check up on her, and if she felt it necessary, beat her in to shape. While at first Akio resented the woman, she eventually began to grow more attached to her as time went on, to the point where she thinks of the wild woman as the big sister she never had. Due to Tsukiko's influence, Akio began to open up to other people a little more and try to overcome her weaknesses. Also because of Tsukiko, the young Tendou can tend to have a rather vivid and imaginative vocabulary when sufficiently angered or upset, as well as having a bit of a nasty temper. As of now, she's living in a rented apartment in downtown, having moved away from her foster parents the moment she became a genin, never to speak to them again. The war was a defining moment in Akio's life . . . and not for the better. while she wasn't a stranger to loss or violence, she had never felt in the scale that she had in the war. Many good friends died in the fighting, only to die in vain as the Confederation came to rule everything. However, instead of being filled with anger and indignation, she just felt broken and afraid. As she recovered, she began to withdraw from the world, drinking more often, and geting into fights with her girlfriend Aoi, until it finally culminated in Akio breaking it off in a fit of drunken passion. She immediately regretted it afterwards, but instead of going after her and begging forgiveness, she simply let the relationship die. Despite still having strong feelings for Aoi, she just didn't want to feel the pain of losing her, imagining that it'd be worse than anything else she'd ever experienced. Since she couldn't force Aoi to stop being a kunoichi, she decide that it'd be best for the two o end their relationship, thinking it'd be easier for both of them in the long run. This belief has long since died in her mind, as she only continues to feel more and more empty inside, but she feels like it's much much too late to fix her mistake. So she lives her days in misery, with her only companions being the alcohol she keeps by her side and the odd stranger that it invites to her bed every so often. 【Family ties】 Akio feels nothing for her family name, and had nothing but fear for her father. Her brother and a few of the braver clan members were the only ones in her family to show her any kindness, though not without punishment. Her foster family after the Massacre were kind at first, but soon grew distant as she showed a great lack in interest in them. After that, they simply ignored her and she ignored them. Not the perfect home, but it was peaceful at least.

As for fears, she still fears losing Aoi, and their separation has only intensified this fear, as now not only will she lose her former lover, but she'll lose any chance for reconciliation.

Add more as needed, remove this line when done. “Uhhh . . . Never Give up? That's a good motto, right?” Tatsuya is tall at around 6'2, and has a rather muscular upper body due to his work in the forge. His hands and arms are covered with numerous scars, burns and callouses due to the work he does every day, but he wears them with pride as they are the symbol of all his hard work. His red eyes come from his father, and shiny red hair comes from his mother. He also has a tattoo on his upper right arm of Ketsui lodged in the mouth of an active volcano. He got it the day he became a Genin as a symbol to never forget the determination it took to get him there, so that no matter how long the road to greatness looked, he'd never give up. His normal clothing style is usually a plain white T-shirt, some jeans and steel toed boots( a nessecity in his profession). He sometimes where a jacket if it;s cold enough for one, but more often than not, that's it for his casual wear. His combat outfit is a black, long sleeve shirt, a jacket over that, black combat pants and shinobi sandals. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Tatsuya Kajiya-Terumi 【Alias】 N/A 【Affiliation】 The Hamajō Confederation, though he does have his doubts and could be swayed to the other side 【Age】 17 【Gender】 Male 【Birthplace】 Konoha 【Bloodline】 Terumi Bloodline 【Rank】 Chunin Psych. report. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Tatsuya is a more weapon-based fighter, specialized in Kenjutsu mostly, as that is the weapon he uses most often, and has the most skill in using. That being said, his Taijutu is serviceable enough that he's not completely defenseless without his weapons, but it'll only do him so well for so long, especially against a skilled Taijutsu fighter. His Ninjutsu is also quite good, with a focus on controlling the battlefield rather than simply blasting his opponents away. Up close, Tatsuya is a very good fighter, but he often has issues against distance opponent unless he can figure out a way to get them to come to him. He can either uses his jutsu to force his foe closer, or takes the battle to them instead. When it comes to using his Kekkei Genkai, he can sometimes use it to distract his opponents by making the ground underneath their feet really hot via forming lava just below the surface. A sneaky, but effective strategy, especially when facing an enemy of a higher skill level than him, as that split second distraction could give him just the edge he needs to either escape, or end a fight. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Lava Release Description: The lava release is a very versatile Kekkei Genkai that has multiple variations and abilities depending on how one uses it. For Tatsuya, he bears an affinity for manipulating volcanic materials like as Magma making a very, very deadly opponent to go up against. His Lava attacks can change the very battlefield, giving him a good amount of Offensive, defensive, and crowd controlling abilities. An added plus to this ability is that one can convert certain earth-style techniques into Lava style ones, at the cost of an increased chakra cost. With some practice, Tatsuya has also been able to create a rubber-like material as well, which he can change the consistency of his chakra to make it work as an adhesive. While he's not skilled enough with it yet to use it in battle, in time it could add to his crowd control and supportive abilities. Tatsuya himself suffers no ill effects from his use of this ability, and seems to have a bit of heat resistance as well, though not enough to make a real difference against a fire jutsu(this doesn't include his own lava, which he's immune to). It's a neat party trick for him to snuff out a cigarette on with his hands, but that's about it. Strengths: The lava style is a highly variable ability, granting nearly unparalleled offensive capability, effective defenses, and crowd control capabilities. Weaknesses: Lava attacks can be effectively countered by a strong enough Water attack, cooling down the magma into rock. Also, this ability is highly destructive, endangering both friend and foe if Tatsuya isn't careful about what abilities he uses and how he uses them. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: B rank techniques: Shadow Clone Jutsu C rank techniques: Fire Release: Crimson Earth Spider Earth Release: Subterranean Voyage D-E rank techniques: 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu Name: Doton: Ishi Yoroi no Ude (Earth Release: Stone Bracers) Rank: D Range: Self Description: By taking dirt and rubbing it on their arms or legs, after performing the necessary hand seals, a shinobi is able to create very durable defensive bracers that add extra protection when using the arms to block. The chakra that is infused in them help to soften the blows of any physical attacks. These are very useful for taijutsu users or to defend against an onslaught of upper body blows. These bracers are designed to block physical attacks only. However, by channeling Yoton Chakra into the Jutsu, the rocks and what not can heat up to a degree that while the burns they cause are minor, they can be extremely painful and distracting to the opponent. Jutsu Name: Tsuchi Tou Tou (Swift Earth) Rank: D, B with the addition of Yoton chakra/used with his Lava Creation Jutsu Range: Current range would be 10 meter at maximum, with 2 meter width, and the earth moves at high speeds Description: When performing this jutsu the user places his hands on the ground and causes it to move rapidly away as if it were a conveyor belt. As the shinobi increases in skill and rank the size, speed, and range of this jutsu all increase. While little more than a delaying tactic, if mixed with Lava Creation, it can create a rather deadly surge of lava heading straight toward the target at high speeds. Jutsu name Lava Style: Lava Creation Rank: B Range: 2 meters in diameter from the starting point Description: The user will first channel chakra into the ground, thus turning the ground to lava. The process is quick, as the ground will melt away into the liquid-like lava. This lava can be used to aid in his other lava based jutsu by creating a source which he can manipulate, instead of creating it himself. To increase the base area that is converted, the user must have both of his hands in contact with the ground. Jutsu Name Lava Style: Lava Spray Rank: B Range: Mid Description: After making the needed handseals, Tatsuya builds up Lava Style chakra inside of his gut before blasting out a jet of molten lava into the air, causing a dangerous and widespread rain of lava droplets to fall to the ground. The spread of this jutsu makes it nearly impossible to dodge, though it can be blocked if the foe has the capability. Alternatively, Tatsuya can also just fire the magma jet directly at the foe in a fast moving stream. Jutsu Name Lava Style: Weapon Creation Rank: D Range: Any active Lava source with in 30 meters Description: The user of this jutsu will first channel chakra into an active source of lava, which will cause it to rise up quickly and making the lava thicker then usual, allowing the user to then mold it into a weapon with a few simple gestures. The weapons created will be about as hard as steel, but are usually rather crude and blunt. Jutsu Name Katon: Nenshou Tosshin (Fire Release: Burning Rush) Rank: C Range: Sphere goes is 2 meters long in diameter Description: A two-part technique in which the user blocks an attack by creating a sphere of fire around themselves, and after blocking the attack, the fires converge on his feet, cloaking them in flames. The fire on his feet can be used twice to launch him at his foes somewhat faster than before. The effect lasts for about 3 posts. Jutsu Name Lava Style: Eruption Rank: A Range: Affected area would be have a diameter of about 25-30 meters, power explosions have a blast radius of about 10 meters(one or two holes), 8 meters for 3 or 4, 4 meters for 5 or 6, 2 meters for 7 or 8. Description: In preparation for this technique, Tatsuya will channel chakra through the earth to create Yoton beneath it's surface over a period of time (2 Posts). As a result of this action, the surface of the affected area will become noticeably hotter as the lava beneath is pushed toward the surface by the built up pressure. Tatsuya can then release this build up pressure by creating small craters in the ground with either explosion tags, thus releasing this pent up magma in a explosive Mini-eruption at every point where a hole was created. The more holes the smaller the explosion will be, and vice versa in that less holes will equal more power explosions. With the combination of the explosion and lava this jutsu can lead to severe injuries and even death if a foe is got unaware. It can also create several lava pools after use, which Tatsuya can then use to his advantage to control how his opponent moves around the battlefield. A side effect of this technique is that it will lead to a nasty surprise to anyone trying to move underground or using ground shifting Dojutsu. The former for obvious reasons, and the latter because it will weaken the ground around them, causing the jutsu to activate prematurely. Weaknesses are the preparation time, making it something that can't be effectively used without either a teammate or pre-planning. It can also be activated prematurely by the above method, and can't be used in certain areas. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Tool Name: Bag of Dirt Description Enough said, for Stone Bracers when there isn't much dirt around. Just in case Weapon Name: Ketsui Weapon Type A double-edged Bastard Sword Description Ketsui is the sword that Tatsuya had to make to be allowed to become a shinobi by his father, a blade of unquestionable quality and a showing of true talent and hard work to be made by one as young as him. NOt only does it have a keen edge and made from durable metal, but during the forging process(where a mix of traditional and modern techniques were applied) he inscribed special seals into the metal to give it an extra function. The blade could now store elemental chakra with in itself and circulate it through the blade more effectively, enabling it to more effectively take on the aspects of whatever element it pumped into it. This also makes it capable of forming advanced chakra natures, such as Tatsuya's own Lava Release, with remarkable ease. And since it's able to store chakra as well, that means that one can fully charge it before a mission and activate and deactivate the seals inside with a simple one handed seal and a little chakra. Chakra effects: Fire: The blade is wreathed in a thin, but intense veil of fire, allowing it to cut through metals with only moderate difficulty and cause third degree burns. Earth:The blade becomes denser and more durable Lava: The Blade becomes as Hot as Molten Lava, cutting through metal with ease as well as getting a slight increase in durabilty The charge is big enough that it can keep the blade active for a total of 5 posts. The Lava style requires more chakra, however, so he can only hold that for about 3 posts instead of 5. Tool Name: First Aid Kit Description A basic medical kit that holds several chakra pills, first aid supplies Weapon name: Shuriken Description: Sharpened, four-pronged metal stars, useful for throwing. They can also be used for close combat, but not very efficiently. Although small, they can be used to distract, pin down enemy shinobi, or if accurate enough, can kill or incapacitate an enemy. They have an open circle in the centre, useful for grabbing with a finger, to avoid cutting oneself, or to put thread through. The circle is also beneficial to the weapon's overall aerodynamics, ensuring more accurate trajectories. Weapon name: Kunai Description: A black dagger with a handle wrapped in bandages and a small ring attached to the end of it. The kunai is designed for thrusting and stabbing, though it can still do some damage if thrown despite not being designed for it, and is about the length of one's hand. Weapon name: Explosive tags Description: These tiny slips of paper with seals drawn on them can pack quite a punch if used correctly, and can even be attached onto an enemy directly. Also can be attached to thrown kunai for accurate delivery or have a bunch wrapped into a ball for a more devastating payload. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Tatsuya is an honest and sociable sort, one who believes that the best way to get something is to earn it through the sweat of your brow and the strength of your will. He's very open in both mind and personality, accepting of pretty much everyone, and at times a bit too forgiving, which people have taken advantage of in the past and probably will continue to do so in the future. However, don't take that as him being slow witted or foolish, as his mind is as sharp as the blades he forges, and he has a keen intuition, honed by years of attending his family's shop, for picking out when people are lying to him or trying to pull the wool over his eyes. He tries his best to remain courteous with all kinds people, but he's no pushover, and if you don't back off nicely, he will make you back off, whether it be through words or actions. Tatsuya is also a bit of an artist, putting his experience in the forge into various metalworking projects and sculptures. While he's not terrible, it's obvious to see that e's still trying to find his niche with the art, as every piece is very different from one another, and he has yet to see one he particularly likes yet. He's also good at drawing, but that kind of a necessity when making designs for weapons, armors, and other such works, but he does sometimes take time out of his busy days to just relax and draw the world around him, mostly just random people on the street who catch his interest. While usually rather humble and modest, Tatsuya takes great pride in what he calls his true art form, forging weapons and armors of his own that have a cool style while still remaining practical in use. He treats every work like a piece of art, and has also taken to learning several weapon types, because he always feels that if he knows how to use the weapon himself, he can better forge it for his customers. His favorite type of weapon is the sword, but he's also learned how to effectively use other weapons, such as the staff, spear, and Naginata. 【History】 Tatsuya's father comes from a clan of reknowned blacksmiths that originated from Mizu no kuni. They were known as the Kajiya Clan, and it's said that it was members of their clan responsible for forging the blades of the Seven Ninja swordsman. However, sometime after the rise of the Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki, a faction of the clan separated from the main branch and left Mizu no kuni, for reason's that very few outside the clan know about. The faction soon splintered off from each other, settling in several different lands across the world, keeping the name of their clan where ever they go to show that they still pride themselves in their linage. His father, Katsuo, was born and raised in Konoha, living there for 17 years before he decided to travel to Kirigakure in order to find out more about his heritage. It was there were he met his wife-to-be, Katsumi Terumi. She was an eccentric inventor, and often considered to be the black sheep of her clan due to her . . . odd mannerisms. While the two didn't get along when they first met, their mutual love to create eventually formed into a relation ship, and after a 5 years, Katsuo returned home with Katsumi to Konoha with her father's blessing, where they were to be happily married 3 years later. Fast forward 10 years in the future to the birth of Tatsuya, their second child and first born son. Tatsuya's early years where tough at first, as he was a rather weak baby, but he pulled through, eventually growing healthy and strong without any complications. Tatsuya soon spent a great amount of time with both of his parents in their respective workshops, and while he tended to lean towards his dad's work then his mother's, he found both of them interesting. As soon as he was able, he would assist them in every endeavor they undertook, no matter how small a task they gave him to do. His family was a happy and connected one, for the most part. The only real conflict ever presented before him was his father's staunch resolve to deny him from becoming a shinobi. Katsuo had seen both his father and brother become shinobi, only to die meaningless deaths and only him and his mother around to mourn them, and he didn't want Tatsuya to become just another forgotten grave in the cemetery, killed before his time because he was nothing but a pawn for the Confederation to use at their leisure. Tatsuya, on the other hand, was adamant about it, wanting it more than anything else. Finally, Katsuo agreed to let the boy become a shinobi, but only if he could make a weapon that would impress him, and not a second before. The task was seemingly impossible for a then 10-year old Tatsuya, but he went at the challenge with a determination that blazed liked a wildfire. Using Kajiya sealsmithing techniques, as well as his own talent and skill with the tools available to him, he worked on numerous weapons, each a good viable weapon, but never reaching Katsuo's standards until one day, 4 years into the agreement, when he presented Ketsui to his father. The blade was spectacular, it's functions both practical and unique to it. It was a weapon deserving of the name Kajiya, and true to his word, Katsuo finally allowed Tatsuya to be a Shinobi, though he still doesn't like the idea. Katsuo Kajiya \| 51 \| Father, Reknowned blacksmith and owner of the Kajiya Weapon Store, where Quality is guaranteed, located somewhere in Minato City Katsumi Kajiya-Terumi\| 53 \| Mother, An intelligent weapon maker, she's fallen into depression after the destruction of her homeland, and though it has had some breaks, the sadness always returns in the end Manami Kajiya-Terumi \| 26 \| Sister, Works at the shop full time and is currently working as an apprentice under her father. 【Dreams and fears】 Tatsuya dreams of one day making a weapon that is on par with that of those of the Seven Ninja swordsman, as well as becoming a reknowned shinobi that would be an inspiration for others. Tatsuya somewhat fears his Kekkei Genkai, as he's afraid that he might accidentally hurt, and even kill someone one day due to him not being able to control it properly.

51,195	1,381	102	1,787	2,152	Seijo Tametomo „Lady Commander Tametomo” Red Sage 宏光上妻 “Tsk. Keep that arrogance to yourself. If all goes according to plan tomorrow, we won't even be spotted.” she said to Anzai, semi-joking and semi-serious, before leaning on her arm casually and looking towards where Nori was standing. She wouldn't give Nori an answer but simply patted on the chair next to her. She then reacted to Anzai saying that the team seemed capable. “I have seen Yudai- speak of the devil.” Yudai then came along and introduced himself, asking for a seat at the table. Seijo leaned back in her chair and with her foot kicked back the chair next to Anzai. She seemed more relaxed now than she would be in the field or during the talks. Hell, she seemed more relaxed than most other times. That was largely due to the fact that she was now in a more casual setting, with people she'd be working with tomorrow. It was pretty much her ritual for any mission - beforehand she hung out on her own or with teammates.. or Tarara, when he was still around. Then during the mission she could be serious. “As I was saying, I've seen Yudai in action myself. Capable, killed an entire staircase of shinobi and then was humble enough to say it was Katsuko. That's what I like about him.” she said, looking at Yudai, staring into his eyes. She waited a moment before looking at Nori. “Now him, I've not seen him in action. That's good, because that meant he was out keeping the confederates off my back while I killed that commander.” She then locked eyes with Nori, trying to get a good look at how he'd respond to her praise. “Aside, he showed me the respect that I as a commander deserve. A solid understanding of hierarchy is how you advance in this world.” As she spoke the last words she'd look at Anzai again. “Isn't that right, Anzai-kun.” His lack of respect for her command had annoyed her greatly, even if she had made some stupid jokes. She didn't dislike the man, nor like him, as was the same with most people in this base. Hence it'd be no great surprise she could go from enjoying someones company to sassing them out. “Anyway, you kids have a blast. I'm hitting the sack. Tomorrow is a big day. That gunbai will be ours.” she said, grinning at Nori, Yudai and Anzai. She slowly got up and walked away, but before reaching the door way, turned around and looked at the group. “Oh, and all our names have an i in it. Interesting.” Smiling to the two young boys, she turned around again and walked down the hallway towards her room. Atleast morale for the mission would be high. The chance of casualties was much higher, but she decided not to tell them that given their.. young age. Higōhō Hyuga „Bastard” Hamajō Confederation Higoho didn't look at Kaori as she spoke, simply toying around with his Hamajo Confederation chain that hung around his neck. “Ah. So everything was under control while you were in a genjutsu.” he said, finally letting go of the chain and looking at Kaori. “Interesting.” She continued by saying that she'd like to fight him. He couldn't help but grin, before bursting out in laughter. It wasn't loud enough to upset anyone or something, but seriously, her fighting him? “I just saved your life and now you want to fight me?” Slowly he let his legs drop down onto the floor and stood up, looking at her from above. His long hair was put behind his shoulders, showcasing his full face. “I'm sure you want to fight me.” he said, looking her directly into her eyes. Not a look of love, or admiration, or even friendship. He was simply looking at her in a serious manner. “And I'm also sure you'll lose. Unlike the Uchiha, the Hyuga don't make a big deal of our dojutsu. But I can say with certainty that the Byakugan is better than any Sharingan.” He looked around for a bit, looking over Tetsuba's head as he was still sitting down, and noticing Setsuko was still there. He pointed at her and then looked at Kaori. “You're likely to find a match in her. She doesn't use the Byakugan.” As he lowered his arm he couldn't wonder why she wanted to fight him precisely. “But she's a branch member, like me. There's no honour in defeating her. Same goes for me. So.. why would you want to fight me?”	Partisans Cool Guy Group Entry not allowed to peasants I'm talking about you Savato “To kindle that memory is all I strive for - all this, it has no greater purpose to me. But it's all I can do.” Pictured on the left, Seijo is obviously a well matured woman. Her age would probably be estimated in her early twenties, around 23 or so. That seems to be fairly accurate given her personnel files. What stands out most in her physique are probably her white, short hair and her large breast size. She struts a feminine hourglass figure with wide hips and a wide chest, and a smaller waistline. Adding to that her hips often sway side to side effortlessly, only adding to her appearance as a good looking woman. She stands rather tall for a woman at about 1.74m, and weighs approximately 62 kilo's, though you can guess where most of that weight is located. Her jawline is sharp, almost as if drawn with a pencil and a ruler. Her chin is slightly pointed, but rounded off enough to stop it from appearing like a pointy spear, ready to pierce your body. She has a small mouth with somewhat thin lips, which are pale in color and are only a slight tint darker than her skin. Her large eyes are a brown colour, framed by her eyebrows. Her eyebrows are thin, most likely maintained by Seijo herself. The only thing that stops people from seeing her as only a beautiful woman, are most likely her facial expressions. She's quick to anger. Personnel files.

Should be obvious, heh. 【Sexuality】 Noticeably bisexual. 【Birthplace】 Amegakure. 【Bloodline】 Tametomo. 【Rank】 Lady Commander of the Red Sages, approximated jonin level. Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Assessments of Seijo have shown her to be a brotherly-friendly type of person. She's someone that enjoys very much when you fall down face first in the muddy puddle, and who will gladly spend a few years laughing about that. Never the less she's outgrown that feeling, or at the very least tried to. She's more serious now, which is in line with her position as Lady Commander of the Red Sages. She's still bitter - about the confederation, about the wars, about everything really, and she makes no attempts to hide that. She hates everything about the Confederation, and in her mind, if you are not a Red Sage, you must be a confederate sympathizer. That has grown increasingly prominent in her plans on beating the Confederation now that her brother Tarara died. She's very vengeful, you could say, and it's hard for her to let go of a grudge. Besides this she's also very cocky when it comes down to it, perhaps a bit ruthless, but so far nobody has really dared to stand up against her or question her plans - and she intends to keep it that way. To her, nothing will stand in the way of beating the Confederation, not even her own death. And while before she was fighting merely for freedom, since Tarara's death she's also fighting for him. 【History】 Seijo was born in Amegakure two years apart from her older brother Tarara. They were a semi-happy family, as life in Amegakure wasn't always that great. Especially when it became apparent that two Amegakure shinobi, Ayame and Fujitora, had taken power in Konohagakure. The Amegakure people faced paranoia from all other nations than Konohagakure, seriously hurting their trade power. Then again, it didn't seem to matter much as shortly after Ayame and Fujitora came to power wars started breaking out. Some were even started by Ayame and Fujitora, so it was no surprise Amegakure got involved quickly. By the time that had all happened, Seijo was already a shinobi of fighting age, and was pushed to the front. Luckily for the family all our of them were shinobi, her mother being a strong shinobi with some sensory powers, her father being a taijutsu specialist and her older brother, Tarara, being simply a shinobi. What put Seijo apart from the rest of her family was the utilization of a special kekkei genkai that seemed to have skipped a few generations. In the wars sometimes she'd fight alongside her family, sometimes she'd fight alone with her own squad, but luckily for them they all returned home safe and sound - though Tarara had lost an eye to an enemy kunai. The wars weren't really finished, but something greater was at large. The Confederation arose some time later, and Amegakure being a small village wasn't able to withstand the pressure. They were forced to integrate into the Confederation and were made into the capital - many Amegakure citizens were forced to leave to make way for presidential buildings, apartments for envoys etcetera. While Seijo's mother and father remained behind to 'hold down the fort', Tarara and Seijo left to join up with a band of 'outlaws' that roamed the land. They were Amegakure shinobi who refused to submit to the Confederation, so not quite the rebels they were made out to be. They roamed around the lands for some time and sometimes clashed with other shinobi groups, conflicting for reasons that were no longer valid ever since the confederation had taken over. Over time Tarara grew to become the leader and Seijo his right hand, since there were deaths aplenty in these times and the leaders were usually prime targets - if not for mutiny then for battle with other shinobi groups. At that time the Red Sages were already around and Tarara led the group to join with the Red Sages. The organisation was picking up pace quickly and they made Tarara a captain, and was immediately sent out on missions. The missions varied greatly and Seijo was sometimes sent on missions too, ranging from picking up some equipment, to sabotaging infrastructure. Over time Tarara showed his leadership qualities again and when the previous leader died from old age, Tarara was designated to take over. Seijo wasn't bitter about being in his shadow so much, just wishing to do what was right for her family. But unfortunately Tarara didn't last long, as he was assasinated in the dead of the night by some special operations force from the Confederation. The fight didn't last long at all - Tarara and the few shinobi that were around put up a fierce fight but there were many shinobi, and not enough of the Red Sages. Before reinforcements could arrive Tarara was killed. There was no designation of leadership. To Seijo, there was no question who would take over. It would be her, or she'd leave the Red Sages and do the job herself. But when she claimed leadership, there wasn't anyone that wished to oppose her at that time. The fire burning in her eyes now was enough to dissuade anyone from attempting that, even if they had wanted to. 【Family ties】 The family Seijo grew up in wasn't anything special. There's no sobstories involved, with dead parents, loss of loved ones in the past, growing up an orphan. And there weren't so many happy stories, given that they were in Amegakure, which wasn't exactly the most peaceful nor rich place in the world. Never the less she loves her family, or what is left of it at the current point in time. After all, conflict breeds death. Tarara Tametomo \| Brother \| 30 at time of death, Amegakure, lord commander of the Red Sages. He always loved Red Panda's. Seijo didn't, and she regrets that now. Oiro Tametomo \| Father \| 56, Amegakure, ex-shinobi, currently has a ramen restaurant that serves to the poor. It also serves to the rich. Really, it serves to anyone, he just says he serves to the poor because that sounds better. Rei Tametomo \| Mother \| 54, Amegakure, ex-kunoichi and professional nagger. She likes to nag about a lot of things, especially about Oiro not making his ramen properly. 【Dreams and fears】 Seijo's dreams are really only related to destroying or atleast getting even with the confederation. Besides that she wishes to see her father and mother again in peace one day, but she realizes that that might not be a possibility. Another dream is to meet with one of the Choko siblings - Fujitora or Ayame - though she has heard that it's possible both are deceased since the Confederation took over. Her fears, well, she hasn't many, which has more to do with her attempts at being seen as a coldheaded leader. She ofcourse fears losing her life - she is human and every human fears this. But this fear isn't in the back of her head whenever she enters battle. A fear that is also present is the fear of losing her followers - while she doesn't care directly for their support, she knows she needs them to succeed in her goals. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Seijo is a medium distance fighter with a focus on utilizing jutsu to keep the enemy at bay and kill them. That aside however she possesses some strength and is capable of using taijutsu if she needs to as well - quite adequately even. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Fungus Release Description: The Fungus release allows the user a control over fungal-style plants and moss, which would be able to sprout from the users touch. Remarkably harmless in how it sounds, it's been weaponized quite well through years of practice. The origins of this release are unknown, but the uses are not. It doesn't manifest in clear sight, as the fungus used in this release are housed inside the users body, feeding off of the waste the host produces. As such the user has a notoriously quicker metabolism, as well as a noticeably lower rate of human waste dispersion. In use, the release manifests itself through the obvious moss and fungus it produces. The moss is highly flammable, but the large area of effect jutsu's that can be used with it can cause a spreading fire, or even an explosion, since the spores it releases are very dense. This might inadvertently trap everyone inside the technique, friend or foe, in a fiery vortex. Besides that, the moss has some interesting capabilities, such as genjutsu inducing properties, poison inducing properties or even a chakra and dead tissue absorbing quality, much a kin to real moss and fungi. Some specific branch of the fungi even have mind-controlling capabilities, but it's required to induce the fungal spores into the target by touch, after which it will grow it's way towards the targets brain internally and take over, collect info or possibly control them. Strengths: Versatile and allows the user to regain strength and chakra mid-battle through absorbtion of dead tissue. It's got a great variety for many situations and it's not obvious exactly what is going on with this bloodline limit until it's used. Weaknesses: Fire and (controlled) chakrablasts can somewhat easily deal with the fungi, although you have to be careful with the chakra since the moss can also feed off of it if used improperly. Besides that, it becomes easy to see what the bloodline limit entails once it's used, as it's obvious this is moss or fungus. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu Assimilate All Creation Technique B rank techniques: Barrier: Dome Method Technique 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Transportation Technique Rank: C Range: N/A. Description: Forming the tiger seal, the user sinks into the ground into a small circle of moss with toadstools in it, seemingly dissapearing. A simple transportation technique, this technique will then allow the user to appear somewhere else in the same circle of moss with toadstools in it, which seem to appear out of nowhere to anyone watching. The technique is usable in battle, but the sinking effect is slow allowing opponents to land hits while she is 'sinking' into the patch of moss. Never the less, the appearing effect is quickly, allowing Seijo to appear out of nowhere rather quick and attacking. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Invocation of Nature Rank: B Range: 500m diameter. Description: After forming a boar-hare-ram seal string, and then slamming the palm into the ground, the user can transform the area around themselves into a mossy field by spreading the moss inside their body rapidly over the land, capable of terraforming even the most arid lands into moss and fungus covered 'grasslands' which will quickly (10 minutes) give rise to many forms of plantlife and even small trees (30 minutes). This technique seems semi-useless but it allows the user to transform land into something both useful, and to create a place where she is at home. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Control of Nature Rank: B Range: 500m diameter. Description: Using the moss that is already present in an area, the user is able to control the fungus and moss to a degree, making it capable of grabbing feet, forming walls and also spreading it even further, as long as the controlled substance stays in contact with moss or the user. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Deterioration of Spores Rank: B Range: A cone of 20m outwards of the user, in a triangle shape. Description: Inhaling deeply and placing an open palm in front of the mouth, the user exhales and blows out a large amount of spores over the area in front of her, which carry a poisonous substance that can cause anyone that inhales the spores to start breathing heavily, growing stronger and ultimately choking them by growing fungal growths in their throat over the course of a week if left untreated. Anyone that gets into contact with them externally, such as skin contact, will develop rashes which burn heavily, but are non lethal and can easily be treated as well. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Fungal Chakra Sap technique Rank: A Range: Touch. Description: After spreading fungus from one person (user) to the other (target) the user is able to 'infect' the target with fungus, by touching them and so spreading the fungus and moss to them. The user might notice, but will find it is hard to get rid of the fungus once it's internal through the chakra tenketsu. Once inside, the fungus will slowly sap away the enemies chakra, eating it to strengthen itself. After approximately a minute, the chakra eating fungus will be 'full' and detach itself, either falling off of the body, or being taken away by the blood system of the target. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Hallucination of Spores Rank: B Range: A cone of 50m outwards from the user. Description: Inhaling deeply and placing an open palm in front of the mouth, the user exhales and blows out a large amount of spores over the area in front of her, which are infused with the users' chakra and can carry over a genjutu upon being touched by a spore. Since it's easy to be freed from a genjutsu this technique is generally used only when fighting small groups. The genjutsu is capable of doing pretty much anything a high level genjutsu can do, giving the user pretty much full control over the effects of the genjutsu, while using the subconcious of the target to identify and use psychologically harmful events. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Greater Deterioration of Spores Rank: A Range: An area of 1km in diameter. Description: Similar to the normal deterioration of spores technique, this technique can cover entire battlefields in spores, transmitting the poison to anyone that inhales the spores, and also onto any allies that get harmed. Jutsu name: Fungus Release: Ultimate Siphoning Jutsu Rank: S Range: Medium Description: After covering a field in moss, the user will then use their Control technique to encase an opponent in a special type of moss that hardens tremendously when it comes into contact with foreign chakra. It makes it able to withstand hard blows from taijutsu, weaponry and most jutsu. Encasing the opponent, the user then starts using the moss to siphon chakra, and transfer it to themselves to refill their reserves. What makes this S-rank is the speed at which this occurs - within ten minutes a target will be drained of nearly all chakra, at which point the technique can be disabled and the target 'freed' although with the little amount of chakra they would have left, they'd be as good as disabled for the duration of the fight. Jutsu name: Summoning: Neki the Newt Rank: C Range: N/A. Description: This summoning technique summons Neki the Newt. Given the qualities of a newt, this newt is capable of high speed water traversal as well as shooting water out of it's mouth. It's size is medium sized (it's aproximately 2m. high and 4m. long) and is big enough to carry two people in it's mouth at once if they are standing up. Weaknesses: Weaknesses to all internal fungi, such as the inhalation of the poisonous spores, or being touched by either the fungal parasite technique or chakra sap technique are external chakra. This is due to the fact that the moss and fungi adapt to the targets chakra, feeding off of it for sustainability. Any external chakra will offset it and make it deteriorate, as well as the effects with it. As such you can be pulled out of the genjutsu with external chakra (as is the case with regular genjutsu as well), you can stop the effects of spreading poisonous moss and fungus due to the Deterioration of Fungus technique, although the effects it's had on the target up until that point will remain (i.e you won't get rid of the rash, or the internal burning sensation it created). A weakness for external moss (the spores in the air, or the moss on the ground) is that it's highly flamable, however this is also a strength because it can be used against you. “I do not give to receive - I simply take.” If I die tonight Higōhō is a man of reasonable build, especially considering he practices a mostly non contact style of fighting. He's not precisely buff, more like lean, but that's just the way he likes it. His arms are toned as well as his chest and stomach which is more or less the extent of his build. He has a rounded jawline, with a round chin, protruding slightly from the rest of his faces' contours. The skin on his face is rather tight - it wouldn't be possible to pinch and pull his cheeks. He has a very thin nosebridge, and a slightly pointed nose. If one had to label it, his nose were likely to be seen as about average sized. Some of his facial features that stand out a lot are his pure white eyes which conflicts with his black hair and the black shirts he always wears. Although his outfit always changes (he's quite aware of fashion, and although he doesn't follow the latest trends, he likes to dress in ways that make him feel good) he has one consistent piece of clothing in his look - his necklace. On this necklace is the mon of the Hamajō Confederation. One could say he is very much a patriot. And the nice things one can say about him end about there. Personnel files.

Hyuga. 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Higōhō isn't a nice person whatsoever. He's very sure of himself, cocky to some, arrogant to others. It doesn't help that he's not weak, either. He believes very strongly in himself, and although he's smart enough to know that he's no Madara or Pain, he knows he's strong. Not only is that because of the Byakugan, it's also because of his own hard work he thinks, as well as some natural skill he feels like he has. His cockiness and arrogance has lead him to become quite careless when conversing with people - you can call him an asshole, a lighter term would be being rude. Truth is, he just doesn't really care. If a girl asks him what he thinks of her dress, and he doesn't like it, he'll tell her the dress is ugly. If her face is ugly too, well, he'll probably tell her that too. Though that doesn't mean he would dislike this person, he just thinks himself above most people, so he feels a right to say that. Ofcourse, if he likes something, he isn't afraid to say that either. But he doesn't like that much things. In battle.. do I even need to say this? He's arrogant. He's a bit overzealous at times, and doesn't know his own limits, willing to take on things that are above his own skill level. But so far that's not really ever gone wrong terribly. Aside that, you can call him dumb, or you can call him brave, but he doesn't really give up. You'll have to kill him, knock him out, or cut off his legs and arms if you want him to stop getting up after you pummel him. To him, it doesn't matter. Dying is more honorable than giving up. Besides his arrogant appearance and his lack of care for people around him - the catch is that really he does care. Being a bastard child and - boo-hoo-hoo - not receiving a lot of attention, love, nurturing and care, meant that to Higōhō he had to appear like he didn't care, to not give his father the satisfaction of being broken by his lack of care. This carried over to his adult years. And while he might not care for others because he likes them, he cares for their well being since they are in the same battalion. So, he'll be very sacrificial if he needs to be, willing to give his life up for something like a mission or another person. 【History】 Higōhō was born 18 years ago, to a Hyuga side branch member and a woman of lesser morals. Not exactly a brilliant future ahead of himself, especially since he was born with the Byakugan and thus it was demanded that he was handed over to the Hyuga's He was immediately given the cursed seal on his forehead. A stain of shame on his father's reputation, and already that of his own. Not like a newborn baby was aware of such concepts as reputations. But during his childhood his father made it painfully obvious that he wasn't exactly wanted - 'an accident' - and later one even went as far as saying that he was a stain on the family name, a bastard child who was never meant to be. He shrugged it off, really, because at that point it became apparent that his father was a deadbeat, only allowed to stay in the Hyuga home because his drinking problem and gambling addiction would bring shame to the family if word ever got out. Most of his childhood he was micro-managed by the nannies and tutored by the older members. More often than not he was treated as a child that wasn't supposed to be there, but they put up with him regardless. He showed progress in using the byakugan, especially the gentle fist, as if some sort of innate skill with that style was already within him. Whether that was true or not remained to be seen but fact of the matter was he did good in classes. As soon as he became 7, he was sent to the shinobi academy, because a bastard child had nothing better to become than a shinobi anyway. He did well. Well enough, anyway. Didn't exactly want to be there but hadn't much other choice. At that point in time he had already thought to himself that his only purpose in life was really to be a shinobi - and to fight for the confederation. The confederate soldiers were sort of his heroes, warriors fighting to protect their homes, true patriots, yadda yadda. He loved them. So, he figured, why not become one? The Confederation took over at that point and since then his class was kind of filled with masses of kids. That meant that, even though there were many prospect shinobi that were at a good level, there were far more useless kids who were only there because their parents want them to be. And that meant Higōhō would stand out a little. Welp, he passed, no big surprise. Got to be a genin running around doing stuff like saving kittens from trees and stuff. It didn't matter, he was still a confederate shinobi, which felt good. It didn't take him too long to become a chunin - the Confederation took an interest in him due to the Byakugan, and so his promotion came rather easy. And here we are! 【Family ties】 His family is mostly the Hyuga clan - his father, ofcourse, and then the nannies and teachers that he worked with. The other kids, he supposes, were 'okay'. He didn't really got bullied, so that's a plus. Katso Hyuga \| Father \| 47, his room in the Hyuga estate, professional deadbeat. 【Dreams and fears】 He dreams of, one day, becoming a jonin and leading a team, or perhaps even becoming a captain for the confederation and entering the political world of the Confederation. Besides that, he kinda wants to live a calm life after his service. What a simple soul. His fear is probably dying by Curse Seal - it'd be hard knowing you're gonna die without being able to fight back. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Higōhō is a very close combat oriented fighter, using the gentle fist. He is a proficient gentle fist user, capable of ousting most other nintaijutsu users with his own, and being a force to be reckoned with even within the Hyuga clan. That is not to say he'll beat anyone, however. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Byakugan Description: I can copy paste this URL here or you can just read it if you have no idea about byakugan (you barbar). His byakugan has a maximum range of 12 km, though that's only when he's not doing anything intensive (such as fighting). 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Eight Trigrams Mountain Crusher B rank techniques: Gentle Fist (style) Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm Eight Trigrams Sixty-four Palms Eight Trigrams Thirty-two Palms C rank techniques: Palm Bottom Tenketsu Needle 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Eight Trigrams Vacuum Combo Rank: C Range: Very close. Description: The jutsu is nothing more than a combination of a gentle fist move with the vacuum palm move. First the user spins around on their axle, using their left/right hand (depending on the way you spin) to open up the victims' body by slapping away any defensive hand placements, before slapping their palm forwards and using the vacuum palm technique. “Watashi wa Kami - I am still God.” Over the past 11 years Yamato hasn't changed much - appearance wise - in comparison with before the Hamajo confederation arrived. He's grown in size, reaching up to 1.83cm by now. He still dresses the same - tshirts, a-shirts or sweatshirts with some form of jacket over them. He usually wears chino's like he did before, but has traded his slip-in's for a pair of black combat boots. Yamato is defined as a handsome boy, having a chiseled jawline and somewhat skinny-looking cheeks. His nose bridge is quite thin, although not as if it were a stripe. Contrary to most with a thin nosebridge, his nostrils are also thin. Besides that he has no specific bone structure related characteristics. His eyes are a deep dark green, but not so dark that they can be mistaken for a grey-black colour. In accordance with genetics they are slightly slanted. The most defining features on his face are most likely his 3 large, reddish old scars running across his nose. Yamato's body is 'normal' in terms of muscle and fat, though it's improved compared to 11 years ago. He has some obviously defined muscled due to the nature of their schooling, as a normal shinobi is expected to keep up with his athletic properties. His arms are skinny, meaning that the muscles there are by nature more defined, but due to hard training, they are also very much so toned to perfection. Without flexing you could most likely see the muscles regardless. The same goes for his legs. His chest is not very broad nor does it extend towards the front due to musclemass. As such he has a rather 'normal' looking chest. Regardless he does have some definition there, although you probably wouldn't see it very often due to his clothes. Personnel files.

Although as every other clan they have to grow with the times, and as such many customs have become merely symbolical and don't actually hold much significance. These customs are almost always on par with that of the other clans, since the clan is not much different from the others. That said, they have since their waning influence, dabbled more into even darker trades, and many of the Minamoru which were not shinobi, have become actively involved in the illegal arms trade, drugs trade, prostitution and other illegal activities. 【Special Traits】 Males are known to be born with black hair specifically, with the females usually being born with either black hair, or white hair. Chances seem to be 50/50 for either of the colour. Their eyes are green, differing only in coloration between dark and light green. The Minamoru do not have any hiden or kekkei genkai - in fact, they despise kekkei genkai and see it as a curse, where as hiden are seen as a pest, but 'acceptable.' 【Influences】 The Minamoru influence on Konohagakure was very, very big. Some of it was subtle, such as underground influences due to the Yakuza affiliations they have, or rather.. the fact that they lead one of the three largest Yakuza groups in Konohagakure, and dealt in things like Senju DNA, Sharingan black trade (rare) or even the drug trade. Their affiliations in this field are obvious to those involved, but to the outside world, it seems completely preposterous that the Minamoru, a powerful and high 'n mighty clan is involved in this. Besides that they were a huge economical influence 11 years ago, because they owned more or less 60% of all of Konoha's economical centre with Minamoru Enterprises. The remaining 40% is, thankfully for Konoha, not theirs since the other Yakuza groups were trying hard to wrangle control away from them. The fact that they own most of the economical centre should probably say enough about their economical influence but this is not to say that all this money flows directly into the pockets of the Minamoru clan - bribes, wages, etcetera all is paid from these funds. Finally the political aspect of the clan, which was not as big as it's underground or economical influence. Never the less it's still present - the fact that the Minamoru are a shinobi clan in essence (though, that is debateable very much so) gave them a small influence, and their alliances with other clans, as well as their feuds with some of the others, are a reason that they were politically well regarded, though not as high as the Hyuga or the Uchiha, or even the Uzumaki's although those have recently been more forthcoming towards the Minamoru. Ever since the death of Reijo at the hands of Fujitora Choko, the clan has fallen, and fallen deep. The only Minamoru of relative high stands are the shinobi, and even those have been falling ever so slightly. The only two remaining shinobi with a grain of honor left are Reijo's children - Rei Minamoru, a 25 year old medical kunoichi, and Yamato Minamoru himself, the heir to the clan after his uncle passes away. Never the less the clan has no estates left - all financial enterprises, shops, financial buildings were given away by Fujitora Choko to rival companies to ensure that the Minamoru held Yakuza group received no financing. Their political power waned as Reijo was the politician of the clan - the other Minamoru were regarded as too hotheaded and his uncle was a drunk, so he barely did anything with the clan. The Minamoru are barely a remnant of themselves, if they can even be called that. 【Relations】 Naito - the Naito clan is one of the clans that the Minamoru have been feuding with for the longest time. The feud started about 200 years ago, when both the Minamoru and the Naito were relatively new to Konoha. Ever since it's been dubbed the Feud of the Tiger and the Dogs. The long standing feud hasn't subsided just yet as members of this clan frequently clash - be it with words, swords, or politics. No longer applicable. The Naito clan is wiped out. 【History】 The Minamoru clan was founded quite recently compared to the other clans such as the Uchiha or the Hyuga. They were not part of the original founding clans, and migrated later as a result of economical changes. They weren't originally shinobi but quickly managed to adapt into a Shinobi clan effortlessly. They were comprised of highly driven individuals that wished to become the greatest at, more or less, whatever they attempted. It didn't always succeed, actually, more often than not, but you only need to give one glance to the current status of the clan to see how far they kicked it in those 200 years, compared to the Uchiha. Never the less they don't quite fit into Konoha - they are not so much underhanded, and wouldn't do anything to directly harm Konoha, but they are very self centered and do anything they do for the clan or themselves, not for Konoha. Konoha is simply a means to an end for them. Never the less a feeling of pride and honour is also common place in the clan so Konoha needn't worry about the Minamoru betraying them. They do what they do for themselves, or atleast so they say, but deep down most of the Minamoru are quite self sacrificial, especially the shinobi. Those that aren't in the shinobi trade are often a whole different breed of people, mostly simply normal people and civilians. In short, that means they have a tough skin, cussing, feuding, and appear somewhat rude and cold. Underneath that however are people that deeply respect tradition, hierarchy and self sacrifice. They might not show it but it's definetely there. Moving on, they also don't fit Konoha because they are very outspoken against kekkei genkai - and sadly for Konoha (or the Minamoru's, depending on who you ask) there are plenty of clans with kekkei genkai's. This has been reason for them to be a bit of an outcast-clan compared to others, distancing themselves from main Konoha, living outside the village. Up until the mid-years, between Sarada and Boruto's births, and current situation, they were insignificant, standard fodder clans. However it was then that they broke through with the arrival of the ronin, that fueled the underground Yakuza operations that some of the Minamoru were involved in. Due to this they suddenly raised in power unexplainedly, gaining more funds to further their political influence and economical presence. It didn't take long before Reijo took over 40-so years later, and furthered that all even more, expanding their influences rather rapidly. 11 years later, in the Hamajō Confederation, there's not much left of the Minamoru clan. All estates are gone, only the housing area remaining. Everything is, more or less, gone. Only Fujitora Choko and his 11th corps are to be blamed - that much any shinobi in the Minamoru clan will tell you. 【Rank】 Jonin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Yamato used to be seen as a thug or a criminal in the making. Not far from the truth given his father was the largest criminal in the entire village - something Yamato has no particular feelings towards since to him it was a way of life since his birth. However Yamato was never a criminal - he might've done questionable things during his services to the Hamajō Confederation but never anything that he'd consider criminal activity. Something else that characterizes him is his aggressive tendencies, as he is very very quick to anger and is, very much so, an asshole to everyone he meets. Those that know him for longer, such as Akio Tendou or Aoi Don Maquia will testify to this. Yamato is a bright young man, widely regarded in Konohagakure as a prodigy of attack. This is seen in his psyche as well, as the boy has shown aggressive and violent tendencies from time. Some would call it a short fuse.. and others call it being a thug in the making. Regardless of which is true, the boy also has shown impeccable resilience, steadfastness and a healthy dose of respect for tradition. Rumor within the Minamoru clan has said this is due to the amount of training that got instilled into him at an early age, and that he instills into himself daily even still. The boy also hates kekkei genkai for one reason or another, a sentiment shared by the entire clan, and some radicals even go so far as to wish those with a kekkei genkai dead. Yamato is a good student, and gets very good grades compared to those in the same years as him. He has shown a talent for, how could it be anything else, taijutsu and nintaijutsu, focusing especially on the offensive. This goes well with his aggressive nature and he is known to be able to take down opponents in a matter of seconds, although his defense is less than average. Despite attempts to convince him, his resilience has proven that fruitless. Then again, the boy has always been a prodigy and nobody has been able to prove that the boy might need a defense as well. This has affected his personality in a more or less negative way, although that is open to interpretation. The boy is somewhat- no, very arrogant, and while he wouldn't boast about his skills, he is fully aware of his status as a prodigy. This has given him the idea that he is above everyone else, and he has remained to keep this idea as he's been unhindered by anyone who could prove him wrong. Watashi wa Kami - in his eyes, he is God. 【History】 Pre Hamajō Confederation Yamato's childhood years were essentially a calmth before the storm. He spent his first four years as most children his age did - calmly in the arms of his mother, and playing outside. Then at the age of four, his father decided that it was time for him to become ready. Determined to make the clan greater than it already was, he hired a teacher who was to teach Yamato the basics about being a shinobi. No, he didn't learn any techniques, but learnt the mental side of shinobi's, namely rules, history and things you needed to know. This affected his school career indirectly as he had more background knowledge than most when he entered base school. During his time at base school he still had interest in making friends and preferred to learn techniques, practice taijutsu or throwing and fighting with kunai and shuriken. He often sparred with others, showing of his tenacious and aggressive nature in these matches. He often ended up fighting kids that were bigger and older, beginning to make a name for himself. He became a genin at the age of 12 like most others and went on to attend the high school to become a chunin. In that aspect, while he was a prodigy, he was like everyone else. During high school years he maintained a very steady level of training, to maintain his position within the clan which had grown by now. He became, more or less, the pride of his clan and family, and went unrivaled within the clan. In highschool he maintained a same degree of authority, although there were those that had problems with it, he found that he barely had any problems maintaining his position as the people that objected were often not even close to his level of mastery. Although this makes him sound like a hard ass, all he wanted was for people to more or less leave him alone. The only people he could really get along with was his own family. And even that was strenuous at times. Later, he became semi friends with Aoi, who had shown Yamato to be more capable than she let onto. Never the less they weren't ever close to friends - more so, being colleagues that enjoyed working together with each other more than if they had to work with others, the exception to that being Akio, who was Aoi's preferred companion for a long time. As for the hatred of people with kekkei genkai, it stems from the preconceived notion that people with kekkei genkai seem to think themselves special, untouchable or even godlike, and when you pair that with historical events focusing around kekkei genkai and being mostly negative (Infinite Tsukuyomi, Hyuga clan being a prime target to other villages), it results in a hatred that is widespread among this clan, which has seen it's fair share of bad luck to do with kekkei genkai during the centuries. Besides that Yamato is of the opinion that he could beat a kekkei genkai easily through strength and a superior will to work for something. Arrival of Hamajō Confederation During the arrival of the Hamajō Confederation Yamato played a part in the taking of the city. While he was defending the city at first, he switched sides halfway through after realizing that the Hamajō Confederation wasn't all that bad - in fact, it was better than Ayame and Fujitora. It didn't help that Fujitora was responsible for the death of his father - and in turn, the near death of his family. The Hamajō Confederation would have a larger chance to make his family important again. He arrived on scene near the 11th corps headquarters, which was where Fujitora was holed up. Finding himself trailing mostly behind dead bodies, he soon find the source of this - Yakoul. The cat-like person had slaughtered most of the 11th corps, including Saburo and Daiki, two people that Yamato had hoped to kill for himself. Above all, it had killed Fujitora - which was a crime in the eyes of Yamato, blinded by honour. Knowing better than to take revenge by attacking Yakoul, he simply boded his time. He got promoted within the Hamajō Confederation and is now a captain, or otherwise known as Jonin, largely in service at the Amegakure capital. However, recently he's received orders to go to the border area to investigate a compound, and meet with commander Yakoul, who'll be making further use of his services. 【Family ties】 Yamatos family was rather normal, if you keep in mind that he grew up with a family that was not only his father and mother but also included close relatives of those people. Given that his father is the clan head, he has always felt like the entire clan was his family, and not just his father and mother. As such he always felt a great drive to do well, for the honor of the clan. Furthermore the birth of his younger sister when he was 2 added to his drive as he was under the pretense that he'd get to, or even have to, teach her. Reijo Minamoru \| Father \| 43 at time of passing, Konohagakure, used to be often away on bussiness, was a politician and economist, it's said he has a pair of mistresses in any city. Mika Minamoru \| Mother \| 47, Konohagakure, restaurant owner and mother, she is a hard worker who never complains. Atleast she likes to think that she doesn't. Rei Minamoru \| Sister \| 25, Konohagakure, medical shinobi. Popular girl, but unlike Yamato she finds practicing boring and she'd rather spend her time away from home with friends. 【Dreams and fears】 Yamato secretly dreams of a world where there are no kekkei genkai as this would, in his eyes, greatly reduce conflict. Furthermore he dreams of making the Minamoru clan even greater than his father did, to outdo him in something that his father was already very good at. As for fears, Yamato fears causing death and dishonor to the clan, which goes without saying. Besides that he also fears losing respect from the clan and, to a lesser degree, to other shinobi of the Hamajō Confederation. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Yamato's fighting style revolves entirely around the attack, offensiveness and taking down an opponent with hard hitting blows. Defense is almost nonexistant in his style, as he barely needs it. He is extremely resilient, as mentioned before, and as such he can take a lot of hits of any kind without showing signs of pain. Besides that, he is also someone who never, ever gives up. As such he will keep getting up even if he knows he cannot win - an admirable trait to some and a sign of stupidity to others. Another aspect of his style is courage, in the form of never being frightened. He is going to be the first to jump into battle and he's going to do so with an aggression bound to shake hearts and silence voices. 【Ninja techniques】 B rank techniques: Katon: Great Fire Destruction C rank techniques: Katon: Great Fireball Technique 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Minamoru-shi: Nokori Onaji (Minamoru Clan: Remain the Same, 残り同じ) Rank: S Range: N/A Description: This technique is, more or less, what constitutes Minamoru's hiden. It was created by Yamato due to his reckless nature and desire to enter the fray as the first one in - which was a negative thing before. Now, that turns into a good thing. The technique utilizes a very very small amount of chakra, which gathes in a 'pool' of chakra within the user. In general, there's never been a time where the chakra gets used up so quickly in usage of the technique that it completely empties out. This passive ability consumes chakra at a very slow rate constantly, even when not in combat. Luckily Yamato's chakra pool is large enough to sustain it. This ability works through getting hurt - as strange as it may sounds - converting damage done to the user and turning it into raw power. In effect, that means that 'more damage input = more damage output' in simple terms. Muscles are stimulated by the damage, as well as the psychological will to fight on. This allows Yamato to press on past his normal limits - which were already extraordinarily high - and keep fighting even with broken bones, torn muscles or large gaping wounds. The drawbacks to this are, ofcourse, that he's going to be less accurate and skillfull, but more powerful. In short attacks will be more powerful but he'll have a harder time hitting, ofcourse that depends largely on the type of wounds too. That's not to say that he heals them instantly - if he receives a mortal wound, he'll die pretty much if he doesn't receive treatment regardless of the jutsu. But receiving wounds does make him stronger, both in how he feels and how he actually is. It doesn't make him less mortal - but he sees him self as a God. Would he believe he's still mortal? Jutsu name: Minamoru-shi: Chakurabāsuto (Minamoru Clan: Chakra Burst, チャクラバースト) Rank: A Range: 5m-10m Description: Releasing one fourth of the chakra stored in his pool for the Nokori Onaji technique, he releases a pure burst of chakra out of his entire body, causing a shockwave of chakra. This shockwave can extend between 5m and 10m, dependant on how large his pool currently is. The shockwave is powerful enough to send shinobi that don't hold themselves down on the ground flying, sending lightweights (80<kg.) flying atleast 20 meters at high speed, and sending heavyweights (80>kg.) stumbling out of the shockwave area. Objects are sent flying away too, such as kunai, leaves and other random items in the area. The jutsu isn't incredibly damaging on it's own, dependant on objects in the area. For instance, in an empty dirt field, there'll be no objects to send flying, and no objects for the enemy to crash into. So, damage will be reduced to perhaps some light scraping from scraping on the ground. In a forest, or a densely built in city, the damage will be more extensive, given that the enemy might fly into trees, rocks, buildings, roadsigns, etcetera. Jutsu name: Katon: Great Fire Fists Rank: A Range: Close Description: The technique begins by creating a short series of seals ended by a Tiger seal - although since this is Yamato's signature move, he has perfected it to the point where he doesn't need to form the seals any longer. After this the user flicks his wrists and they are set ablaze. Not yet taking a shape the user must focus the chakra around this area for a short period, in the case of Yamato a second or two. After this is done the fire becomes hotter, akin to a bunsenburner in heat, and the fire will take the color blue as a result. The resulting heat is enough to roast skin even if it's not touching the fire, and enough to severely burn anyone that gets in direct contact with the flames, enough to cause third degree (yes, that hot) burns when you get directly hit by a punch of this technique. Anyone standing nearby Yamato will feel the heat emenating off of the boy, whether they are friend or foe, before he leaps into the battle. The fire takes the shape of a lions head, akin to the two guarding lions that stand outside most wealthy places or places of public interest. Jutsu name: Katon: Great Fire Extraction Rank: A Range: Close Description: Yaoku's Revenge sets the user ablaze for a short time, appearing to others as an explosion. In reality it works as a distraction, while the user cocks his hand back which is then lit ablaze. The single hand will be heated up so much, that it overpowers even the Fists of a Tiger technique, heating up to the extent where it will be able to melt both skin, muscle and bone. The intensity of the technique requires so much chakra that it is pretty much useable only thrice. After the required heat is reached, a matter of seconds for Yamato, the user lunges forwards through the explosion he caused himself and launched his fist into the enemy, melting skin first, then fat and muscle, and finally bone before the hand cools down. If used effectively, and the hit connects, it will be a tremendous attack able to incapacitate or kill most enemies. But it requires accuracy, something that is often lacking when an enemy is moving around, and also because the explosion caused by Yamato would obscure his vision. Besides that, the attack leaves him rather exhausted, so that he'd have to retreat from the fight, something that Yamato could obviously never do. As such it's likely for him to overexert himself after using this technique. Jutsu name: Katon: Great Fire Bind Rank: B Range: 10 meter in front of Yamato Description: To be used in conjuction with the Great Fire Extraction technique, but useable on it's own too. This technique is not neccesarily a fighting technique, the sole technique in Yamato's arsenal that isn't focussed 100% on the offense. However it is used as a runner up to a very offensive move. After forming a boar and tiger seal, the user holds the tiger seal while a set of 2 fiery hands emerge from his back, quickly coming out at a rapid speed. These hands will head for the enemy almost instinctively, and grab the enemy by the arm. Once grabbed it will be virtually impossible to get out lest you have a teammate that is able to free you or you work out a genius way to break free. Because the hands are made of flames you will receive slight burning although the burns will not be harmful whatsoever, akin to a D rank fire jutsu if not less harmful. The true fear you should have.. is the follow up jutsu. There is a slight reaction time between being grabbed and the start of the technique, around 1.5 seconds, but dodging will only end up causing the hands to chase you for a longer time. The only true escape is to get out of the 10 meter mark, but that will be hard with just 1.5 second to escape. It's possible for ninja's with above average jutsu, however. Another weakness, aside from it's length, is it's weakness to both water and earth defensive jutsu, such as the earthen walls or the water techniques that send out half an ocean. Using wind or fire against these hands is nearly useless, matter of fact it's counter productive because adding more fire to the arms will have no effect, while using wind based jutsu on them will fuel the flames, speeding them up even more. Electrical jutsu are useless, too, because electricity will go through the hands. An extraordinarily fast shinobi (read: faster than Yamato) will be able to dodge the hands initially and then attack quickly after if he times it right, because attacking Yamato and forcing him to release the tiger seal will stop the jutsu. However, if Yamato moves but still holds the seal, the jutsu will continue. The time it takes to form the hands and attempt to grab the opponent is all within 1 post, but the actual act of grabbing depends on it being dodged/ran away from, and as such can only happen in the 2nd post. Jutsu name: Fuuton: Greater Fire Fists Rank: C Range: N/A. Description: Technically not a technique on it's own, but still classified as one, the user will not have to form any seals, instead he simply has to augment fuuton chakra in his fists and release it into his fists of the Fire Fist jutsu. Due to Fuuton acting as 'fuel' (fuel for fire is oxygen, a source and burnable material) the fire will begin to burn even hotter, turning the fire blue and causing the area it's used in to appear 'darker' or closer to nightfall. This is due to the bright source of light making the environments appear darker than they really are simply because of the contrast or difference in lightsources. Even on a blue sky, clear lit day it will appear as if it were 00:00 midnight. The fists of the Fire-tiger will burn so hot, the radius at which the heat can be felt greatly expands and even those standing close to Yamato during the usage of this will feel uncomfortably warm, and if they stay near long enough, might begin getting a serious sunburn. The main effect also increases, still holding onto the 3rd degree burns upon connecting a hit, but adding in the additional fuuton element of a highly increased knockback and a cutting effect, too. You will go flying most definetely when you get hit by this augmented technique, sending lighter opponents up to 100m away and heavy, fat opponents at a weight of 200kg about 30 meters. Furthermore, there will be slight cuts, as if you got hit by 20 kunai at once. Ofcourse, that's all superficial wounds - nothing life threatening, but definetely painful. Like most nintaijutsu, this is extemely destructive, but exerting at the same time. There is no real weakness to this technique, as it's not really a technique to begin with but more so an augmentation or reinforcement of another. As such, weaknesses of the Fists of the Tiger still exist, such as suiton jutsu or defensive doton jutsu. Even so, the usage of this extra fuuton jutsu will allow the user to simply brute-force his way past many of these jutsu anyway, most notably doton. Suiton will always be a problem for fire users and this technique is no exception. Jutsu name: Katon: Great Fire Bomb Rank: B Range: 7.5m Description: This technique is a secret trump card held in high regard by the Minamoru clan. Not many outside of the clan know of it, because it's a rather rough technique on both the victim and the user. The users can begin this technique by forming the Tiger seal, after which it cannot be stopped anymore. The user envelops themself in flames, starting out akin to any other fire technique and indistinguishable at this time, looking rather harmless. However this all leads to an explosion. An explosion of the user itself into fiery death. In essence it's a fiery suicide technique that will blow up the user plus anything within 3.5m of the technique, and will damage anything up to 7.5m around the technique. The bad side? If you use this technique you die. Jutsu name: Minamoru-shi: Jisatsu-ryō (Minamoru Clan: Suicide Charge, 自殺料) Rank: B Range: 50m. Description: Utilizing his Futoon element, the user 'boosts' his speed quickly by displacing air in front of him towards his back, to travel quicker similar to how an airplane gains lift. However, this technique isn't fast enough to create lift and neither is Yamato shaped in order to create lift.. However, this will give him speed. Using this speed the use pummels himself into the enemy ranks, most likely a larger group of enemies. The head on charge manifests itself into simply crashing into the enemies with limbs extended, punching left and right to get as many hits in as possible. Defense is NOT a part of Yamato's vocabulary. This can be easily protected against by, say, creating an obstacle like a doton-sphere to protect yourself/you friends (if you're friendly like that.) 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Backpack. Weapon, tool or object type: It's.. a backpack. Possibly filled with explosive tags. Description: It's a fucking explosive backpack bomb. Bag-o-bombs. EASY.
51,196	1,381	103	2,400	2,978	Tetsuba Zaisette Sunagakure's Military Facility - Lecture Hall Zay's face sunk into his hand as both of his eyes slid shut. Blah blah blah, what the hell was he even talking about now? How hard was it to point them in a fucking direction, and shout 'kill' at the top of his putrid lungs? That's all they were doing, anyways. The Confederate shinobi were just hounds that kept the order, right? Some order it was. This entire scenario was looking more and more like a corrupt hierarchy. This wasn't the first time that ideologies clashed, and Yakoul was definitely right about one thing, it certainly wouldn't be the last. Something Yakoul said had finally brought Zay's attention back from the brink, as he briefly covered the morals of his beloved 'confederate' or whatever the fuck you'd like to call this pathetic excuse of a regime. He lowered his bottom two fingers, uncovering his left eye when Madara was off-handedly mentioned. Was he really implying any sort of comparison between that maniac and the confederation? This cat was more idiotic than Zay had thought at first, or maybe he was just too brainwashed to understand the moral upset therein. It wouldn't take much to convince the silver shinobi of the latter, though. Yakoul was a few hairs short of not being a complete fucking psychopath. Regardless, it was unsettling to bare witness to such a bare-bone deconstruction of Hamajo's will. Zay's arm went numb. He'd been resting on it too long. He pulled back and opened both of his eyes, letting out an exasperated breath of air. "Nonsense," he whispered, speaking through his nose. The muscles in his jaw were tighter than ever before, as if somebody was forcefully holding his mouth shut. Zay turned to see Higoho pass by, walking to confront the Uchiha girl sitting at the table in front of him, but he couldn't understand what they were saying. Zay's ears began to ring, and the uncomfortable pressure against his larynx continued to tighten until he was too short of breath to see straight. He lunged forward in a panic and rested on the table with both elbows. Stop. Stop. Stop. He repeated to himself, inaudibly. Several seconds later, his body ceased its trembling. With several deep breaths, he was free to think straight again. It was a tad frightening to deal with, but it was nothing he hadn't been through before. As he regained his composure, he heard Higoho spouting more arrogant drivel, speaking of his superior dojutsu as if it were something to take pride in. As much as Zay enjoyed the premise behind the Byakugan, enough to even desire a set of his own, he'd had enough of Higoho's ramblings, and right now, Zay was anything but rested. "I could think of one reason," Zay said sternly, leaning into the table, "Shutting the gaping chasm of profound stupidity that you call your mouth." Zay paused for a moment, waiting for the Hyuga to turn and face him. "Have you heard yourself speak? That self-indulgent garbage you spew makes a mockery out of you, and your clan. The Hyuga family would be ashamed of it, I'm sure." Here it came, another mouthful no doubt. But with it, an opportunity would present itself. He had a chance to really piss Higoho off. He did of course risk staining his reputation, insulting a Hyuga with such reckless abandon, and in front of one of Higoho's clan-mates no less. Zay peered over his shoulder at Setsuko briefly, checking to see if the girl'd been offended by his behavior towards her clansmate, though honestly, it probably wouldn't affect his approach. Zay smirked and tilted his head slightly after returning his judgmental gaze to Higoho, looking to lock eyes with the stubborn oaf. "If the Uchiha girl isn't feeling up to it, though, I'd be happy to step in myself, if it'd grant me ten seconds of relief from your crude musings."

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 In a word? Lazy. His lack of dedication, and methodical lifestyle is simply a byproduct of his mental lethargy. Zay is capable- Far more capable than most would like to admit, but his motivation does not match his potential. When speaking on his terms, rested and free of responsibility, Zay's speech is refined, polite, and he is very attentive to detail. In most cases however, Zay does not consider himself very 'rested' and acts completely aloof, purposely insulting the intelligence of others, and showing minimal interest in serious discussion. His attitude often causes conflict between him and his peers, making his life even harder than he already thinks it is, and perpetually forcing himself into a downward spiral. That being said, Zay perceives life itself as less than noteworthy, quoted as claiming the human heartbeat to be 'The body's most monotonous chore' on more than one occasion. Questions regarding his history or opinions on the general status of the Shinobi world are often met with a ballad of anecdotal references, and depressing metaphors that tend to highlight the negative aspects of being alive. Due to his seemingly infinite disdain towards basically everything, most perceive Zay as an angst ridden peon who cares nothing of his friends, family, or own well being. However, nothing could be farther from the truth. Despite what his nihilistic charade would suggest, he's a particularly caring individual that places tremendous importance on not only his own well-being, but that of all living things, and more importantly, the freedom they are entitled to. There's nothing more important to him than the heart that keeps him standing, and by extension, the people that give it the courage to beat freely. However, Zay prioritizes himself over all others. He claims that he would never risk his life, even if it were for the safety of a loved one. Truth be told, his attitude keeps him from actually developing any strong relationships, and his known family has been dead for years. Still, he considers his allies precious, and will do everything he can to keep their hearts beating if it doesn't end up putting his own life at serious risk. One could infer that Zay purposely distances himself from others to avoid the responsibility that coincides with friendship and romance, but since he is awfully secretive about his personal affairs, nobody's really been able to pry a solid explanation from his stubborn brain-case. 【History】 Zay's life started off rich with love and wealth. Born in Iwagakure, he lived out his infant years in the care of his mother and father, both of whom had little to worry about, easily living off of the funds that Ikaette Tetsuba, Zay's mother, earned from her career as a Shinobi for Iwagakure. Sadly, as expected, his mother eventually found herself caught up in the conflict brewing between the nations, which ultimately put her family at risk. As one of the few breathing Shinobi capable of advanced, and more often than not, forbidden Jutsu familiar within the dwindling Tetsuba Clan, interest in her Copper Release's industrial capabilities grew, and her family would soon find their beloved wife and mother, missing indefinitely. Zay's father took it upon himself to contact Ikaette's sister, Tskia, asking her to take Zay far from Iwagakure, hoping that she would be able to keep him safe. News of his death quickly rose to attention not more than a month after Tskia's departure, and left the Tetsuba Clan with only two living members. Tskia rose Zay as her own, treating him as the son she'd never had, and teaching him the basis of his family's ninjutsu. Even so, Zay was one to question every minute detail behind the lessons he'd received. this often lead to questions regarding the Tetsuba Clan, and by extension, his parents. Of course, Tskia was never at liberty to reveal much to Zay, in fear he'd get himself involved in the wars that might've followed the last. Due to the secrecy that enveloped his training however, Zay didn't take to his aunt's lessons very kindly, and instead spent all of his time training himself in the art of silver Release with his aunt's wisdom as a very loose basis. When the conflict between nations ceased, Tskia was beyond relieved, quickly adopting the ideals of the Hamajō Confederation as they took to power, and bastardizing the red Sages for their naive outlook on the way society had 'evolved' so to speak. She tried her best to instill these beliefs on a young teenage Zaette, but unfortunately for her, he was not concerned with her thought process on the matter. Fortunately, that didn't mean he sympathized with the red sages, either. His neutrality would prove a trying obstacle for Tskia to deal with in the coming years, and it strained their relationship quite significantly. Tskia would become more and more loyal to the teachings of Hamajō, while Zay would become less and less concerned with the goings-on around him, or his aunt. On his 14th birthday, it became painfully evident that Zay would not play any major role in the fight between Hamajō and the Red sages. That's what his aunt would believe, and to this day, that hasn't changed. At the age of 17, around the time that Zay had achieved the rank of Chuunin, Tskia had fallen fatally ill, and was home-bound. Although it was difficult, Zay was forced to support both himself and his aunt on what little money he could earn through the few missions he was approved for. Ultimately, Tskia passed away, leaving Zay to fend for himself. On her death bed, Tskia told Zay of his parents and their fate, along with the history of their family. Although he didn't change the way he behaved, his aunt's death, and his family's history took a serious toll on his inner thoughts, and changed the way he looked at life, and death. Zay, without a mentor, continued to develop his silver release on his own. Zay now spends his time conducting missions as a registered shinobi. When he isn't on assignments, sleeping, or training his jutsu, Zay spends all of his time outside, walking outside city limits as much as he can. 【Family ties】 Zay has no living relatives to his own knowledge, but it's likely that some have survived to this day. Regardless, he doesn't care enough to look into the possibility. 【Dreams and fears】 "I dream of a world where everyone can lay their backs against softened grass, and gaze at clouds without fear of fire or fist" "Spiders are horrible, but they kill moths, and moths are a plague on my very sanity" Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Zay harnesses the power of his silver release almost exclusively. That is to say, he refuses to even acknowledge Taijutsu, Genjutsu, and most other ninjutsu as a viable option of combat. Zay is proficient at close-mid range combat, with limited long-range options. He focuses on a iron-hard defense to compensate for his lack of ranged options. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Silver Release Description: Silver release allows members of the Tetsuba Clan to mold fire and Earth chakra natures into a shimmering metallic liquid, hence the name 'silver release'. This substance can be used in a plethora of different ways using subsequent jutsu as long as the user's chakra remains infused inside of the liquid, but without proper concentration, it is impossible to do much more than move it along the ground at a snails pace. It is also impossible to control this liquid if it travels more than 15 yards away from the user. If any of this substance leaves the user's 15 yard radius, whether it is in solid or liquid form, will quickly dissolve into raw chakra. Users can also reabsorb this liquid to replenish their chakra pool with diminished returns. Due to these limitations, silver release users are not very mobile, and instead rely on the agility and durability of their jutsu. In use, the silver liquid acts as a base for several techniques. The most common application is consuming opponents in range and smothering them to death. It can however be hardened to create temporary weapons, large scale attacks, barriers, armor, and various mechanisms relative to the user's knowledge of the technology they are trying to mimic. More advanced users of Silver release can sense the presence of other living things within their pool as long as they are connected by a constant stream of chakra, coat their entire body in an armor that removes their sense of sight and hearing but makes them nearly impervious to physical assaults, temporarily patch wounds by fusing the liquid with their skin, heat the liquid to boiling temperatures, and in very rare cases, transfer their body instantaneously from one section of their puddle to another with a delayed reemergence. It's rumored that certain Tetsuba could create golden, Copper, and even mercury based liquid metals, but nothing has been confirmed, and their lineage runs so thin that it's difficult to confirm or deny such rumors. Members of the Tetsuba Family are known to have very pale skin, reflective white hair, and silver blood. These effects appear to be purely cosmetic and otherwise have no effect on their biology whatsoever. Tetsuba Shinobi Strengths: Ray's mastery of Silver release is exceptional, and it wouldn't come as a surprise considering he does not practice any ninjutsu that would not coincide with his Kekkei Genkai. At his current mastery, Zay can keep a constant pool of Silver going at the full 15 yards from his body for a considerable amount of time before it begins to strain his Chakra reserves. His mid-close range combat is unmatched in many scenarios, disallowing easy movement within his radius without immediate danger. His liquid can nullify most wind natured ninjutsu, protect against some earth/water/fire natured ninjutsu, and offer substantial protection from most forms of attacks when hardened en-masse. Zay's agility with his silver allows him to cast jutsu in quick succession, giving the liquid considerable agility when he is focused. Weaknesses: Without a ready supply of silver, Ray is practically defenseless, only able to conjure weapons and small short-range projectile type jutsu quickly enough to defend himself. Even with a pool at the ready, Zay is incapable of firing ranged attacks outside of his range effectively. His mobility with the pool is also very slow, and he cannot travel long distances without being encumbered by his jutsu. While channeling a substantial pool of silver, Ray requires immense concentration, disallowing him to move his body too quickly at risk of his entire jutsu falling apart momentarily. If he is forced to dodge, or struck by anything that would interrupt his concentration, any hardened liquid could instantaneously melt back down into liquid form, and any silver under his control will fall back into his pool, including any weapons or armor he's equipped himself with. Additionally, his silver is highly-conductive, allowing lightning-natured jutsu to travel effortlessly along the entire expanse of the pool as long as it is connected, or close enough to allow a current to travel throughout. Certain Lightning-natured Jutsu can also pierce through any solidified silver effortlessly, and even destroy portions of his liquid. Conjuring the liquid, albeit quick, also requires an initial Chakra dump that nearly drains Zay of half his energy. Additionally, Zay can only sustain a pool for about 10 minutes before he runs out of energy, assuming he rations his chakra sparingly. 【Ninja techniques】【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Silver Release: Forge Rank: D Range: Short-Medium Description: Creates a weapon or device based on the user's knowledge and skill either somewhere in a mirror pool nearby, or in the user's hand using newly created liquid silver. The weapon's strength is on par with average steel, and resonate with Chakra very well. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Constellation Rank: D Range: Medium Description: Fires an array of tiny silver balls from either the user's mouth, or from any point in his mirror pool, with a width of about 15 feet. These have the potential to break skin and heavily bruise upon impact, but are not usually deadly. Can travel up to 25 Yards away from the user despite his limitation, but once leaving the 15 yard radius, they decrease in power to a point of absolute worthlessness. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Mirror Pool Rank: C Range: Short-Medium Description: The basis of Zay's Jutsu. Creates a reflective pool as the user's feet that spread out quickly. Can be channeled to extend the range of the pool, or to absorb the chakra infused in the liquid with diminished returns. This liquid can be controlled with the user's Chakra while it exists. The user can sense anyone touching the Silver if they are within his radius, and 'feel' their chakra network. All attacks within range, liquid or solid, are considered part of the Mirror pool. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Boiling Flow Rank: C Range: Short Description: The user instantly heats up a section of liquid silver for a few seconds. Effect persists if the liquid is solidified, allowing for heated jutsu followups. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Tempid Mail Rank: C Range: N/A Description: Covers the user's skin in a thin layer of liquid silver that can be hardened at will with other Jutsu types. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Solid Wall Rank: C Range: Short-Medium Description: Raises a wall at any point in the mirror pool to intercept an attack. Fast, but not effective as an offensive option. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Solid Mail Rank: B Range: N/A Description: Covers the user in a thick layer of hardened steel. Blocks nearly all forms of attack, but blocks out the user's sense of Smell, Sight, And Hearing. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Tepid Flow Rank: B Range: Short-Medium Description: Slices forth with a blade of liquid silver from any point within the user's radius, with enough force to sever limbs. Cannot break through guards, but will not be stopped unless blocked in its entirety; Due to its liquid nature, it will simply phase around swords and small shields. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Solid Flow Rank: B Range: Short-Medium Description: Launches a solid spike from any point in the user's mirror pool. The thicker the spike, the stronger, and slower, the strike. Often used in quick succession to create multiple spikes at once. Jutsu name: Silver Release: Tether Rank: A Range: Long Description: The user coats his hand in a rubbery silver, with a higher concentration of chakra, and extends it into a amorphous whip, which they can then fling around for about a minute before it loses form. While active, this tether acts as an extension of the user's chakra network, allowing it to exist outside the normal range of the user's pool, and increasing their pool's range to be 15 yards from wherever the tether reaches. This tether can also latch onto targets, including shinobi, but cannot be detached from the user unless they cancel the jutsu. Requires a large amount of chakra to form. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Zay carries no Ninja weaponry, and prefers to create his own.
51,197	1,381	104	2,089	1,979	Arima Shuu - Tametomo The Red Sages The Super Secret Base While giving Aroshima a good dose of the cold shoulder, Arima couldn't help but feel a little too skeptical about Naomi's visibly anxious state of mind. The long pause she would drop into as they entered the mess hall left Arima suspicious of various things, especially this Aroshima guy she defended with reluctance. According to her he was legit, and he could easily deduce she had brought him in shortly after the invasion took place. The leader's cousin couldn't help but be torn on the matter. On the one hand they were at war and had lost a lot of comrades, as such bringing in some new guy and integrating him in operations felt like a massive risk to their already shrinking numbers. On the other hand, this same argument would defend this guy's cause as they were now running low on workforce and it wouldn't take long for the confederates to utilize their strength in numbers. "Uh-huh." Was the only response Arima could muster for now, not wanting to make a scene nor in any position to wave fingers. Naomi would then question the reasoning why the young Tametomo inquired about the red dress. To be fair, she wasn't wrong to ask why as it wasn't often that they had to actually play dress up around here, especially when they could just use transformation to get around in covert. "Our next mission requires you and I to dress fancy for the B.A Auction near Konoha. With jacked up security and more shinobi committing fraud in this type of events, they've made it too risky to use basic transformation. We're going natural with Chieko and ... Him as our backup." When mentioning Aroshima, Arima gave him the same, wary glance as before. It was to be expected, they wouldn't trust the Sarutobi from the start, and good reason. But the teen said it in a way that would make anyone feel unwelcome. Arima didn't make an effort to introduce himself either, partially because he was growing paranoid but also because of his need to keep up certain appearances. He couldn't be caught being friendly with a potential threat, no he had to be the douchebag who'd put the new people to the test, even if he'd lack the balls to confront them in case of any resistance. With that look Arima also noticed Aro's fancy choice of clothing, prompting the boy to arc his eyebrow. "The support can wear the usual gear. We'll go through the plan multiple times. Have you eaten yet, Naomi?" Although he called Naomi's name, he did have the courtesy to turn his head to Aro, indicating that he was willing to listen if he had also eaten. Once again, he was that douche but also the guy the younger recruits would look up to. He'd take a seat on a table near the one taken by the others, waving at the cook to have his attention as he'd prepare bowls of ramen according to the number of people sitting. Whether they'd eat or not, they were still invited to sit down as there weren't many other comfortable places to discuss at least the basics of the mission. And with that, he'd ask a simple question. "I suppose you've heard of the Bashōsen?" Yakoul Kakariko The Confederation's General of Armed Forces Military Establishement - Staff Lounge - Sunagakure A large and sinister grin formed on Yakoul's expression when Kanata decided to abide to its rather dominating request. The tip of its tail throbbed somewhat while most of it laid limp on the soft sofa, proof of how much it didn't hold back on that last strike. Luckily for either of them, it didn't actually care too much about these things, it simply wanted them to know who was the boss here, who was the alpha to be respected and where was the line drawn. Its jaw cracked once more when Tanji responded to Yakoul's curiosity and raised a few interesting points it would love to engage. Kanata would be the first to reply, which wasn't an issue as Yakoul more or less left a pause for her to do so. Strangely enough, it was expecting her to be more explosive than a typical support class. Unexpected, that's for sure. It liked that. Plus, since both were more or less backup rather than caretakers in the field, they'd go really well with the general in sure perilous operations within the lion's den. Yawning just a little, this time with its mouth covered, it would respond as well. "My turn? I guess you can say I kick motherfucking ass. That makes you two pretty good cover when I fuck around a bit with all the dipshits we'll eventually have to handle." It chuckled at what it said, leaning his body forward so it could rest its elbows on its tights and zoom in closer to the two standing before it, almost as if it was about to whisper some secret. It didn't lower its voice or anything, it just wanted to make this moment look more serious so that the feline could look 'cool'. "Census on citizen loyalty, huh? Fuck a duck, I'm keeping you for myself. Screw the 11th Corp. But no, I was thinking more of something like ... Legal Engineering. You know, for the goddamn greater good." It smirked, evidently displaying a rather corrupt idea from the get go. When it spoke of legal engineering, it evidently directed to tweaking the rights of certain individuals and essentially do what it wants. In its defense, it was indeed a state of war and usually these types of things happened anyway under suspicion. It didn't make the idea and the way it conveyed it anymore sinister. Hoping they would at least catch on to most of it, it left a pause for them to ask anything before it'd lift its index finger to indicate it wasn't done. "But don't piss your panties yet. The fucker we're visiting it Gozoboro Haishu, piece of shit that runs one of my favorite lines of Spas. A little bird told me, and by little bird I mean an asston of ugly shitbirds vomiting in my ears, that some pretty unpatriotic transactions have been going on over there. Are you following? Your ass becomes useful here, Tenjo, as we kind of have to get shit done ASAP. Don't want the guy to become an hero in a cell or bitch ass human rights to some how become relevant again." It detailed, letting them process all this information for a bit before it finished. It straightened itself, a rather confident look on its face as it expected intriguing results from these two. Tanji was clearly not a random choice in this, after all Yakoul had observed the events during the attack and clearly distinguished Tanji in his specialty. Genjutsu masters, especially efficient ones, were hard to come by. That blue haired girl was its second option, but she was a little too relevant to stuff for Yakoul to bother begging. "Any pain in the ass questions? Because we're going tomorrow, from here to, bumpier than my dick, Iwagakure."	Spode's Magical Character Emporium of Wonders V.2! DLC pack Coming soon. Buy Season Pass Now! “I'm gon' fuck me some motherfuckers.” 1m75 - 72 KG At first glance, it is almost impossible to not have any preconception regarding Yakoul's normal appearance, an issue that costed the lives of many. Yakoul looks like the typical cat-human people see in various media and have bizarre fantasies about, though the reasons behind its current for are a lot less fantastic. Everyone notices the white cat ears and the long tail, which various in size for no apparent reason, and would usually dumb it down as 'too cute to be threatening'. That's until they see its teeth. Otherwise it can also alternate its cat pupils, usually forming them when in combat. They're orange regardless of the form. Now that the kitty aspects are out, the next issue is ... Well the rest. Its silhouette is completely androgynous. Somewhat curvy bottom part but facial traits that look more like a young male teen's than a female's. Its chest appears to look more like pectoral muscles than breasts. The hair style doesn't help either, being short and curly/messy. Its gender will always remain a dark enigma those in the Confederation hope to crack some day. Or not. Freaks. In terms of attire, it wields a navy blue, long sleeved shirt with golden buttons in the center. An orange pair of shorts to keep its legs warm along with long, same colored socks that nearly reach the knees. It does not wear sandals, ever, but a pair of navy blue shoes it can easily slide on its feet without having to deal with laces or velcro. Personnel files.

Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Yakoul earned the title of War hero and trump card of the Confederation's army 11 years ago because of its genius regarding the Art of War and overall capabilities in the field. A lot of it is true, as Yakoul has never backed down from a fight (doesn't mean it never lost), winning against any type of individual conceivable, whether they are intelligent, dumb, strong or frail, it always found a way. This much praise made it a main figure to the Confederation's political and social life, despite all of it being based on prestige told by the Confederation itself. Many know of how ruthless Yakoul is, breaking the 'cute cat' image it once had, but the details remain rather vague and exclusive to inner circles. In truth, although it wields the willpower and charm of an extremely successful warlord, it is undeniably an unpredictable force of malice no one other than the top ruler of the Confederation has managed to tame. It holds the nickname of monster for a reason for anyone who has actively been an obstacle to the feline has lived the merciless and downright cruel fury of the beast. Only through tactical advantage does it show mercy, otherwise it has no qualms in exposing its perverted and sick mind to those it simply wants to rob something from. Ironically, apart from war, it is an individual completely absent of common sense. Mundane activities are engaged in the most eccentric and downright surreal fashion with this critter. Despite emitting one of the most foul presences in the entire world, it has a surprising way of illuminating rooms for people it shares a sense of camaraderie with to avoid getting bored. Indeed, it has a terribly thin attention span. Speaking of comrades actually, as monstrous as it may be, it built itself a rationale that gives actual human value to its close colleagues, only to use their deaths as a catalyst to fill itself with anger and many other emotions to slaughter superior enemies. Does it feel something when someone close dies? Sure, and it knows it, hence why it uses it. Keeping up with unpredictability, its behavior has been deemed so sporadic, it is impossible to truly form a friendship with it. Now the reason being that as much as it enjoys messing around when in free time or just during transition phases in a conflict, one thing will get it to laugh while another almost completely identical will earn the instigator an impromptu vasectomy. Needless to say, many have come and left Yakoul's squad not because of the intense battlefield, but by the insane moodswings. Did I mention its intuition? If it has a bad feeling about you, prepare to have a bad time. Needless to say, ti remains a really good judge of character, as would be any leader. This deserves the final paragraph and serves as a warning to everyone. Profanity is its mother tongue and has a very horrible accent when speaking. In most sentences, it will enter a pointless swear, and this increases depending on how passionate it gets. Add to that a shamelessly crude attitude and we have the most foul individual in the Confederation as one would expect. It doesn't always insert swear words, but they seem to illustrate quite well what its intentions are most of the time. 【History】 Yakoul has lived far longer than most people on this earth, all thanks to the inherited powers of its supposed 'cursed' clan. It didn't feel all that bad to it, quite the contrary, it got eternal life all to itself. The feline essentially saw history happen before it, not that it did much to actually archive it or even remember, it was just there, existing and eating whatever it attacked in a village, whether it be livestock, pet or people. Like many of its clan, it terrified the populace because of its jumps of rage and general disregard for their lives. Yeah no, Yakoul isn't this dual-personality type. It always lived as if its surges of violence were just it being in a bad mood rather than lack of control. Decades went on and it would only be when encountering a group a very strange looking individuals, nothing like those annoying shinobi that were sometimes a little too hard to kill. They were strong, but also quite tasty looking, and Yakoul liked that a lot. Wanting a piece of these people, its blood would quickly be rust to the blades of the leader's right hand. The animal didn't beg for mercy, but rather stared at the dominant being of the group, fantasizing on how it would have been great to have that body all to itself in its cavern. It was not because of its potential that it was spared, however, but because of its amusing appearance. The monster that would eventually be one of the pivotal figures in the war was recruited for looking somewhat like a cat. Well, "recruited", it served as decor for the leader's luxurious tastes. It wouldn't be until the first days of war that Yakoul would prove its worth as more than just a soldier. At first, it was simply sent on small missions due to its enhanced senses and general aggressiveness toward foes. It didn't mind, it had free food and could rip anything to shreds when asked. Doing dirty work was just a small repayment. Its talents as a war leader flourished when confronted to its first ambush. Somewhat devoid of extreme intelligence, it mixed what it learned through living so long and instinct to divide strategies to minimize losses. Though this time it was actual comrades and not food something it would protect in some cave or stolen house. Few casualties and a need to make a profanity filled speech to pump its men, Yakoul was given the title of General. Why? Because the leader could, not that it really earned it or anything. It just made its superior happy and proved its worth. Many events during the war were under its leadership, and generally it kept the upper hand and quickly understood the art of war. One could say it was more or less its destiny to hold such a position as it lived in relatively poor countries where small conflicts were rampant and only through strategy was survival possible. What would mark Yakoul as a war hero would be how it led its men to the doors of Konoha and in three days time, murdered with its bare hands the leader of the 11th Corp, the equivalent of Root at the time. Fujitora Choko was killed, and Ayame Choko, the Hokage, would have the same visit by Yakoul. Many speculate that Ayame was never there to begin with, but soldiers attest that Yakoul had killed her as well. Of course, victors are the ones who write history, so even knows if this whole damn history section is legit and not me making a BS Shyamalan on you? Thought so. After the war, Yakoul's been ... Quiet. Simply because the Red Sages have been too sporadic for it to actually care enough. It is mostly seen in public events with its master or simply to keep itself entertained. 【Family ties】 It doesn't have any known relatives. Unless you count every stray cat in the world. The Great President \| Master and Pet \| N/A - Amegakure Capital 【Dreams and fears】 Yakoul dreams to simply do whatever it wants the next day. As of now, it fights for its master in a more zealous manner than anything. But if its superior were to die, it could very well change its passion on a whim. As of now, it simply wanted to endlessly fight the rebels, over and over, and hopefully even die a horrible death at their hands. Not that it actively tries to die, it's simply a fantasy. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Swift and deadly. Yakoul's fight have often been rather quick, or at least when it decides to go on the offensive anyway. Most of the time it falls on taunts and easily evades and/or blocks strikes it can see coming beforehand. Easily finding the flaws in the techniques employed by the opposition, when confident enough it can end it, Yakoul will strike where it hurts the most. This of course depends on the caliber of the opponent, as those who prove to be a lot more keen on their moves will force the beast to actually prod something out of them with actual violence. When in its lethal mindset, it greatly utilizes its strong tail as a third member to gain an easy advantage on the enemy, as well as keep many of its abilities a 'surprise' for the enemy to discover. Because of this, it prioritizes close quarters combat 3/4 times, especially considering its Jutsu pool. The issue with it fighting longer and longer, however, is that it slowly loses patience and lets its more berserk state take hold, pushing Yakoul to lose a decent thought process out of anger and sheer brutality. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Juugo's Clan Kekkei Genkai Description: Many consider this Kekkei Genkai as the cheap counterpart of the Sage mode. Yakoul would of course strongly disagree. To start off with the basics, this KG enables the wielder to passively absorb Senjutsu Chakra (Natural Energy) all the time, leaving it with some pretty gargantuan chakra pools. The effects can often be dumbed down to bursts of anger and berserk states, but Yakoul has since grown accustomed to it. However, bien exposed to it for so long, it has developed animal-like traits similar to beings untrained in Sage Art that have absorbed too much Senjutsu chakra. In this case, it acquired feline traits. It is also the cause of Yakoul's massive longevity and seemingly eternal youth. Because it is mostly under control, Yakoul can freely manipulate its own body and expose select parts to 'curse' with his Sage Transformation. Essentially, it can manipulate the form of its body, sprout wings or grow axe blades on its forearms. The possibilities are massive, as long as they aren't too exaggerated. Chakra cannons are also a dominant trait in the Sage Transformation. Generally users of this KG can tank massive blows that prowl through their flesh and pierce their members without an issue as seen when Juugo not only had a massive hole in his arm but also his chest and recovered without an issue. However the more this ability is used, the less coherent the thought process Yakoul's approaches will be. As much as it is used to it, it will eventually lose grip and wildly attack anything if battles push it too far. Withering down Yakoul's endurance makes it the best tactic to make it a lot more dangerous and violent, but also more predictable and easily deceived. Strengths: The KG offers overwhelmingly high amounts of chakra as well as access to natural energy. Naturally users have immense strength, which only increases when enhancing certain parts of their bodies (easily rivals CES). Resilience and a particularly versatile movepool are probably the biggest strengths in there. The added bulk of the sage transformation can be compensated with the chakra jets. Weaknesses: Surprisingly has few, but the lack of control through continuous use is rather exploitable. When transformed, whether it is berserk or not, the moves appear to be more predictable and easy to anticipate, in exchange for simply more destructive power. 【Ninja techniques】 S rank techniques: 1 Compulsory Subjugation A rank techniques: 3 My Favorite Cancer Perfect Symbiosis Enhanced Scales B rank techniques: 4 Super Mega Ultra Go to Hell Cannons Fire Cannon Dash Genjutsu: Cat and Mouse Suffocating Haze C rank techniques: 5 Up yours: Style One Swiisssshhhhh Shotgun Special Lil' Sluggers Regeneration Absorption D-E rank techniques: 3 Hiding in Surface Technique Overwhelming Killing Intent Yakoul's Juinjutsu 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: I'm just fucking better than you! (Also known as Compulsory Subjugation) Rank: S Range: 0 - 50m Description: As Yakoul's Trump card, Compulsory Subjugation is a tool it prefers to use in very specific scenarios and often saves it as a 'Grand Finale' for people like Souji Tametomo. It manifests itself in three tentacle-like appendages emerging from Yakoul's spine with only the tips being of a completely black color, the rest remaining beige/gray like the typical KG transformation. They all hold tremendous strength with the capability of slapping away boulders with one alone and they can strength up to 50 meters. Though as strong as they may be, they remain easy to cut like flesh and inflict gargantuan pain to Yakoul when cut, and even more when being reattached or regenerating, thus forcing its stamina to plummet. But its greatest strength doesn't lie there. The tips are where the ability shines. They are ridiculously sharp, but can still be blocked by robust defenses. Of course once they manage to actually inflict damage, here the fun begins. If one were to be simply scratched by the tentacle, they could have a small piece of Yakoul's flesh in them, not big enough to be game breaking, but enough to bond with their flesh and bone of the area. A large amount of pain occurs as the incompatible flesh acts like a cancer and forces the muscles to tense and twist on each other. If done on an arm or leg, the bones would easily snap and rend the member worthless but it would end there (except for the pain), while if on the body, the organs run the risk of being completely ripped to shreds. The solution is simple, stab the area that was cut, the bleeding will cause a lot of the Sage Transformation flesh to ooze out. The blood loss won't be enough to kill but will render largely ineffective. That's if they can close the wound. If the tentacle is stabbed, however. Everything changes. Large amounts of Yakoul's own flesh is injected in the body, ripping apart muscles and bones as they go, essentially making it a game over unless a third party severs the appendage before it can completely possess the body. Immediate medical treatment can held control this, though the victim is decommissioned. If Yakoul possesses the individual entirely and destroys them from the inside out, they will evidently die. But only to revive as a mindless beast under Yakoul's command, like a pet. They would be possessed by the Sage Transformation entirely, looking exactly like the second stage transformation. They can use the same abilities they once had, barring tactics. The only escape would be death, unless some miracle doctor finds a cure. cough Jutsu name: My Favorite Cancer Rank: A Range: N/A Description: Similar to the Fission Technique, the function is similar, however it is interconnected with the Sage Kekkei Genkai. Essentially Yakoul splits itself physically to produce two teen-like Yakoul. I can go up two four with small kid versions. They are generally physically weaker as they go along and divide, as well as simply having weaker abilities (And the S rank Technique sealed). However they are capable of gathering natural energy individually and slowly grow. When divided by two, about 5 posts are needed for both Yakoul to be fully grown, 8 (4 to be teen sized) for the smaller one. When destroyed, they turn into puddles of flesh that glues itself back into a fission clone, giving back the chakra. When split they can't have more chakra than the average individual unlike a full Yakoul who can have an overwhelmingly high surplus. After 5 posts where they're fully grown, they're forced back into one Yakoul as the technique expires. Jutsu name: Perfect Symbiosis, Bitch. Rank: A Range: 150 KM Description: One could call this an extremely advanced version of sensory, but it really is a mastery of Senjutsu chakra to the extent where someone incapable of being a Sage could master it. Yakoul becomes 'One' spiritually with nature, which is everywhere, making it almost completely undetectable by sensors. Its chakra can be seen by Sharingan, Rinnegan and Byakugan, but locating Yakoul is extremely difficult in long distances. The only exceptions are either Sages or those with this ability (or equivalent). But this also gives a tremendous advantage in sensory skills for Yakoul. When actively using this ability, its pupils dilate like a cat's as it uses natural energy as a powerful sensory ability for both extremely long ranges and close range. When going long range, it is mostly good for finding very specific chakra signatures and presences in remote areas as well a detecting who is in what area and how many beings there are there. When in close range, it can essentially take over for sight and sound as it gives a very precise input on what approches, what form it has and how fast it is moving. Its enhanced sense of smell and hearing usually compliment the job perfectly. Jutsu name: Awesome as shit Scales Rank: A Range: Personal Description: Developed after killing Fujitora Choko, Yakoul decided to innovate a bit defensively, and thus also evolve offensively, by taking elements from the Heavenly Blood. Here, it must use Sage Transformation before this becomes possible. Yakoul is capable of having 'scales' rapidly grow on affected parts of its body by concentrating both senjutsu chakra and stamina to make them steel-hard. Indeed, it affects both the physical and chakra state of the user, making it something that can't be entirely recovered by passive natural energy absorbing. These can easily block non-enhanced weapons and take multiple hits from those. It takes stronger Ninjutsu to break through. The seconde usage it has requires a lot less stamina, almost none, but it loses all of its value. Using a bit of wind chakra on its pores, Yakoul can simply fire these scales in large waves like large, diamond-shaped kunai in a direction it chooses without actually moving. Being made of chakra they have higher piercing capability, but they are somewhat slower and more predictable than the ninja tools. Their strength mostly lie on the being ejected from anywhere at anytime. Jutsu name: Fire Cannon Dash Rank: B Range: 30m - 100m Description: A simple technique that utilises both Fire release and the Juugo clan's cannons. In this technique they're generally on the back and the elbows and take en entire post to charge with heat. Yakoul can still do whatever during that post except for cannon usage, but the increase in energy is very apparent. In the next post it can choose to either keep the cannons red hot for up to three turns before releasing the technique, and during that wait it can use cannon abilities but with a 50% penalty in power. When it it used however, Yakoul can travel between 30m to 100m in speeds that rival even body flicker, all the while being in control of its body. However it can only travel in a straight line, making somewhat predictable the first go, but extremely lethal if not ready. Jutsu name: Genjutsu: Cat and Mouse Rank: B Range: Sight and Sound Description: Yakoul's only real Genjutsu other than the basic stuff, which uses both visual and sound queues to make it exceptionally difficult to pinpoint. Here it will sway its tail from left to right while applying it, those who simply look at Yakoul will see the tail move regardless if they focus on it. The Yin chakra already has its effect and simply needs an activation. The sound required is a simply crack of its jaw, something it does all too often in a fight, whether it applies it or not. Breaking free is the typical methods, but it doesn't make one immune to it. The effects are simple, once affected, the perception of the victim is severely flawed. They will feel as though they are seeing through the eyes of a mouse, or any small critter really and the whole environment, including Yakoul is giant. As such, all they would see would be a giant Yakoul attacking them, its massive movements easily covering their whole line of sight and making it horribly tedious to predict anything. Jutsu name: Suffocating Haze Rank: B Range: Description: Fusing Wind and Fire chakra, steam-like incense that covers a large amount of ground with Yakoul being the center of it all. When using this ability Yakoul cannot utilise its other cannon abilities. The effects are simple, it imposes a powerful heatwave in the whole field and a bit beyond really quickly with a slight haze to make visibility harder for others. Plants, even trees, die in the first seconds of the technique drying up almost anything, the insects follow shortly after and animals feel extremely dehydrated. Bigger summons also feel the huge toll as their big bodies are confiscated of a large amount of water, making them just as susceptible. Trained shinobi can withstand it easily, other lifeforms not so much. Water techniques suffer the most from it, bring mostly dried up and losing most of their strength. Lightning, because of wind chakra infused, become a little weaker but mostly inaccurate in both targeting and usage (chakra control is simply harder). Wind Techniques suffer a similar effect to Lightning, being eaten up by the fire aspect. Earth suffers more slowly, drying up and losing solidity eventually. Only Fire techniques are enhanced here to Yakoul's advantage. Lasts for five posts, cool down for five as well. Jutsu name: Shotgun Special Rank: C Range: Close, extends to about 10m Description: A wind based ability that is mostly non-lethal (unless you suck) which consists in releasing strong air pressure from the cannons protuding from Yakoul's body. The released pressure acts like a shotgun shell, extremely strong push back when in point black, but loses it strength as it goes along. The effect of distance really depends on the individual strength of each, but it's generally meant to keep people away in a pinch. Also useful to eject oneself really quickly into the air or to a direction. Jutsu name: Lil' Sluggers Rank: C Range: N/A Description: Yakoul uses a much weaker version of the Fission technique, letting a bit of its flesh drop on the ground and ignite thanks to fire chakra. It quickly hoards natural energy to grow into a child-sized humanoid golem, similar to Deidara's puppets, as they start charging in at whatever Yakoul wants gone. They can morph their limbs and bodies to an extent, forming blades and bizarre/flexible shapes. They're slow and somewhat predictable, but damaging them will result in more of them coming back. It is being completely destroying them into sufficiently small pierces that the flames covering them overpowers their regeneration and they just die. They're more of a very annoying distraction than anything. Jutsu name: Delicious Grub Rank: C Range: Close Description: This deserves some explaining. In a large battlefield full of NPC's, this technique essentially allows Yakoul to recover from non-fatal injuries easily as it barely requires any chakra and simply uses to heal its damaged body. So some specifications are needed. In order to fully absorb a body and heal major wounds it needs to be immobile for two posts, as in it can't move from that point, but can still use jutsu and so on to defend itself. Jutsu name: Overwhelming Killing Intent Rank: D Range: Up to 5 KM Description: Yakoul's aura is so foul and its chakra levels massive enough to have nearby individuals actually feel the pressure of its bloodlust on their shoulders. Only the strongest shinobi around will not fear a tint of fear as their natural instincts would force them to have when confronted to such a deadly predator. It is capable of using it from pretty big distances when it is stalking certain individuals to put them on their guard all the while destabilizing them. Jutsu name: Yakoul's Seal of Approval Rank: N/A Range: Personal Description: Almost exactly like Orochimaru's Curse Seal since it did come from the Kekkei Genkai after all. The Confederation saw great potential in this and made it possible for Yakoul to impose Juinjutsu on certain victims and disobedient followers. It doesn't spread it like free candy however, as it is also a source of power that could easily push unworthy individuals into berserk-like states and be an issue to society. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Tease Weapon, tool or object type: Claw Rings Description: A set of Claw Rings worn in every finger except the thumbs. Why? Because they're freaking cool. Also they're specially designed to have wind chakra channel out of the pointed blade form 30 cm air claws. They're hard to see at first glance and cut like any chakra enhanced blade (because its chakra yah). Weapon, tool or object name: Ninjato Weapon, tool or object type: Just a Ninjato Description: Just a Ninjato is carrier around for no reason. Weapon, tool or object name: Awesome clothes Weapon, tool or object type: Clothes Description: It always wears the same clothes, and they can survive being burnt and its super transformations. They don't protect from damage, they just prevent you from seeing Yakoul naked. “By the honor of the Tametomo, I will fight to the death for all our freedoms.” 1m83 - 88 kg A rather tall lad with a well built body, Arima does have the looks on his side. Not the most attractive but that isn't his only asset. With black, almond shaped eyes and straight black hair, some would expect him to be some Uchiha rather than related to the Red Sages leaders. Not so broad shoulders but evidently trained arms and dexterous hands. In terms of attire, he takes whatever he needs to blend in, but often sticks to the Confederation uniform to keep as inconspicuous as possible as a shinobi. He's always seen wearing black combat gloves alone with these odd navy blue boots he wears instead of the common sandals. He's also fond of cloaks when executing covert operations despite having a mask at his disposal, he just likes it. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Arima Shuu - Tametomo 【Alias】 The Rising Sage The Great Red Sage's Cousin The Pussy 【Affiliation】 The Red Sages 【Age】 17 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Straight 【Birthplace】 Amegakure 【Bloodline】 Tametomo's Shuu branch 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 A pretty boy with a status that easily earns him social recognition. Arima doesn't mind utilizing the Tametomo name when in rebel grounds to pride himself over his lineage, something that does get him some female attention. Quite the hotshot and showoff with his rather advanced techniques he dedicates to his own clan, one could say he's the type of popular kid that everybody knows whether they like it or not. In the midst of his demonstrations and indulging himself in praises, he simply loves to maintain a cold and distant attitude, to play the 'mysterious' guy while saying encouraging phrases regarding honor and all that jazz. What most don't see however is that he is far under the expectations of the usual Tametomo, he's a pushover. Souji was quite the thing at his age and that's not even mentioning Tarara, both his cousins. He's very aware of this, as are some of his closer colleagues. He's aware that he neither has their skill nor inherited traits to make him as grandiose as they are. But instead of accepting himself, he remains deluded when facing the crowd of peers that stand in awe when he does anything really. At least this works with the newbies. While insecure, he's also somewhat of a coward, having barely ever been in the battlefield and lied more than once about his experiences. The scar on his lip is the one his family laughs about the most. As much as he may seem confident when playing a facade, he is devoid of any authority and presence. This is particularly true when he's into a girl that doesn't send back the feelings. He's hopeless and stammering. And the more he feels emotionally cornered like this, the easier it is for people to call him out on his bullshit. 【History】 Born six years prior to the massive world war, Arima lived a peaceful life before and after the events really. His family was largely protected by the heads of the rebelling force against the mighty crusading army. It was around age 8 that he developed this idea that he was part of a big family, like the Uchiha or the Kazekage lineage. That he was destined to help this world too by leading it to safety with the Red Sages. Becoming a shinobi thus became a thing, but he was quickly disillusioned when he realized it was rather tough. He put hi spirit in it sure, but often got discouraged when more talent prodigies bested him in almost every field. Nonetheless, this sense of pride remained strong, and while he was named Shuu and Tametomo was a pariah name, he knew that among the inner circles of his family he was seen as special because of this. Becoming a chuunin was a rather average experience for him, he always blamed his teammates for his shortcomings and hardly passed the exams needed. Nonetheless, he made it, and quickly backed out of as many Confederation activities as he could. He was entirely dedicated to the Red Sages and would demand to be trained under their own men rather than by the typical government bound shinobi. Eventually he'd be recognized capable of conducting covert operations, and in his first he was paired with an experience Jonin. The goal was simple, find and infiltrate a simple weapons barrack and set it to blow up. When Arima would tell this tale of course, it was one of the main secret warehouses for quality weapons manufacturing among other things. He didn't lie that the operation was successful however, and exaggerated the few patrols confused and searching around the area with multiple special Ops pursuing them through the border. But hey, details. Oh and yes, that's where he got his scar. The special ops offered a great version of this story, but the thing was that they had to stop their trip for a rest, and who said rest also said snack break. Being the idiot that he is, he tried to open the sealed can with his teeth since most of their tools were left behind to hide evidence. A beautifully vertical and bloody cut on his lip. Well at least the lid was silver like the blade of those commando ninjas. Nowadays he tells this tale, and many believe him due to mostly his status and the fact that despite not being on par, he is a pretty good shinobi who ca handle his own. Some of his teammates were still tipped off about the real events and see right through his make believe, but even while knowing that he tries to stick with the fake alternative to make himself feel better about ... Things. 【Family ties】 Being raised within a branch of the Tametomo, he's known to be related to the two great leaders of The Red Sages. Both his parents are alive and well and he has no siblings. They go under the surname Shuu to avoid any attention from the Confederation. Toroi Shuu \| Father \| 49, Amegakure, Former Chuunin and now door to door salesman Kurona Shuu \| Mother \| 37, Amegakure, Chuunin under the Confederation, serving as a mole for The Red Sages Souji Tametomo \| Cousin \| 27, N/A, Leader of The Red Sages, 1st Degree cousin with Kurona Shuu Chieko Honma \| Friend \| 15, Konoha, Member and colleague in The Red Sages, He hopelessly has a crush on her and they've been partnered before (strong synergy as they both use lightning) 【Dreams and fears】 He dreams of actually reaching the level of his cousins and maybe one day be worthy of carrying on at least some of The Red Sage's legacy. He's absolutely scared of his current condition, of not being good enough for any of this. He also fears the intense battlefield, the inevitable possibility that he'll die. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Obviously oriented toward a style of kickboxing, focusing primarily on the electrical nature of his boots to channel ninjutsu. He is rather speedy in his methods, going for quick hit and run strikes when he sees the opportunity, sometimes even being quite impulsive. He has a hard time making a decent strategy when under pressure, but when he has one, it's sure to make some heads burn. He often attempts to lands as quickly as possible a finisher move even if it wouldn't be the wisest thing to do. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Nope, All skill. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Cosmos Finale: Electrovoid B rank techniques: Shadow Clone Technique Tametomo Cosmos Style: Guillotine Wave Tametomo Cosmos Style: Storm C rank techniques: Lightning Release: Lightning Beast Tracking Fang Cosmos Style: Z-line Cosmos Style: Thunderball Cosmos Style: Hard Counter D-E rank techniques: Demonic Illusion: Lightning Flash Pillar 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Cosmos Finale: Electrovoid Rank: A Range: Contact Description: This time a strange, yellow lightning it focused on both Glorious Cosmos as if Arima was charging an attack. As usual, he attempts to strike down the enemy, whether they dodge or block, it doesn't matter. The energy is suddenly released and manifests itself as a bolt of lightning traveling randomly in a small radius. A wind attack or an explosion would quickly dispel it. However, if it were to hit a chakra entity other than its maker, it would disperse and be absorbed by their body. The victim won't feel any pain, actually, they won't feel anything at all. If this bolt manages to hit someone, they will be completely robbed of their sense of touch as their spinal cord and brain were struck in a specific manner. They will not feel themselves standing, making them lose all sense of balance, their members will move oddly whenever they're not directly looking at them. They won't feel themselves throwing the command to move and as such they can't know if their movements are coherent enough to make a simple gait. The effects last for three posts before the sense is regained, though even the most trained are barely efficient after this. Jutsu name: Tametomo Cosmos Style: Guillotine Wave Rank: B Range: Contact + 50m Description: Inspired by the famous Raikage Guillotine Drop, Arima charges a large amount of chakra on one of the Glorious Cosmos, making it flash in blinding bright blue. All he has to do is simply crash in a powerful downward kick, not necessarily like the Guillotine drop, but it needs to be well placed. The impact would be akin to a full powered chakra enhanced strength hit, causing a massive shockwave of electricity that would shock anyone in a 50m radius, though only slight burns and movement slowing would occur, the pushback however would be fierce. Those hit, whether directly or blocked, will inevitably suffer a large amount of lightning chakra striking them in all directions. This makes for really powerful finisher. The chakra taxing is immense, making it only possible to use twice in a fight as of now with a risk of damaging his leg. Jutsu name: Tametomor Cosmos Style: Storm Rank: B Range: 30 meter radius Description: By kicking a wave of about twenty Thunderballs in the air, they all stand at a halt around the field like a dome of some kind, endlessly spinning around as if Arima manipulated them. They can be popped, but exploding one won't cause a chain reaction strangely enough. Under Arima's command, they will suddenly stop and rush in to converge at a targeted spot. It isn't too difficult to notice them striking and to evade them, however if one were to take a hit, the explosion will be particularly deadly in the epicenter, usually leading to death or knock out. Within the radius, major burns can still occur as well as electrical sparks running through the body to immobilize and/or cripple movement for a short period of time. Jutsu name: Cosmos Style: Z-line Rank: C Range: Up to 50 meters in the air and down under Description: A somewhat more complicated techniques. Lightning chakra is focused on the Glorious Cosmos as Arima uses either the Ice Skates or Rollers mode. The start to flash a brighter blue as he traverses a specific trajectory, leaving a black line on the ground he came in contact with (even water). He can make one as long as 50 meters. The thing is, this line is charged with lightning chakra, and any large entity of chakra crossing it will have all the lightning stored in them zapped into them, like an electric wall. The effects are nasty burns and short term immobility. To avoid it, one must get over 50 meters over the line or 50 meters below. Jutsu name: Cosmos Style: Thunderball Rank: C Range: 0 - 150 m Description: A very simple technique that involves Arima making a simple kick, whether forward, upward, to the side, it doesn't matter. What occurs is that by molding a tiny bit of chakra in the Glorious Cosmos, he is capable of releasing a speeding ball of blue lightning the size of a basketball at the direction he kicked, going as fast as a shuriken. When hitting something, it will explode in an explosion comparable to an explosive tag but with the affect effect of electricity that can leave paralyzed for a short time and leave extra burns. They can easily be dispelled with a projectile. Jutsu name: Cosmos Style: Hard Counter Rank: C Range: Contact Description: A simple technique that involves Arima performing a perfectly timed kick on an electric attack, whether it is chakra or other. By perfectly intercepting the electricity, the Glorious Cosmos is capable of sucking out the bolt. However, this can only work if the attack is focused in one point that isn't too big and doesn't still hit Arima. Secondly, it can't be too strong, so B rank and under only can be drained. It fills in the battery, and in return restores a little bit of chakra. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Glorious Cosmos Weapon, tool or object type: A pair of enhanced combat Boots Description: A pair of navy blue boots that look completely ordinary at first glance, reaching up to about his knees. Whens responding to Arima's chakra, they get covered in a sky blue aura with electrical sparks visible from time to time. Once active, the Glorious Cosmos become enhanced by stockpiled chakra, making them as hard as chakra enhanced steel, thus more than capable of countering most weapons. This 'chakra' that is stored inside each piece is actually dependent of an individual battery in each filled with lightning chakra, but it can also be charged with normal forms of electricity. Now don't go think he can sponge lightning, not quite, but it can accumulate energy gathered through movement of any kind. The aura surrounded can thus continuously replenish itself thanks to movement, and as such can also deliver rather nasty blows too. The electric aura will defuse visible shocks of electricity, although not all that dangerous, they can leave burns and even cause violent muscle spasms if hit in areas near the heart and lungs. The Glorious Cosmos are capable of switching into different 'modes', going to rollers blades and ice skates for greatly enhanced mobility. Needless to say he's faster than the average shinobi run with this. As such Arima can easily use the ice skates to utilise them them as lethal blades when going close and personal. “Ladies and Gentlemen, and everything in Between!” 1m51 - 40 Kg With adulthood, Aoi had her look adapt to her new circumstances, giving a lot less of a child-like impression and one more akin to a woman thriving in her life. To start off, she dedicated her look to her usage name she employs in her job by dyeing her hair sky blue, going along perfectly with her naturally blue colored, dazzling eyes. The way she styles her hair varies depending on trends and demands from her current position, as of now she keeps the look on the picture as it is Myaka Shouho's main hairstyle these days. Untied they reach the middle of her back. She appears to be rather well pampered with quality makeup on during any of her outings and attires that are mostly seen on big shot magazines. Quite often with eye capturing colors, she purposely takes a more flashy appearance to please the demand of her viewers and accomplish her daily motives within the Confederation's News Network and Public Relations. In more casual circumstances where she either doesn't want to be recognized or is fighting, she's wearing a pair of high-heeled white boots, black jeans with a combat bet containing multiple small pouches, a black tank top and a white jacket over it. Her stature is rather small, but only 151 cm in height and rather light, she doesn't bode the muscle mass of many of her shinobi peers, but such bulk would only trample on her style. Her petite silhouette does demonstrate minuscule levels of strength, but her body is rightly trained in the art of gymnastics and flexibility. A malleable body that can adapt to many situations and adopt techniques a lot easier than one geared to toning muscle. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Aoi Fuegushi 【Alias】 Aoi Don Maquia - Former Name Hamajō's Blue Voice 【Affiliation】 The Hamajō Confederation 【Age】 28 【Sex】 Female 【Sexuality】 Homosexual 【Birthplace】 Amegakure 【Bloodline】 The Don Maquia troupe: Although not officially bloodline, the circus troupe prepares their young to perform certain arts and master certain abilities generally unknown to the world. 【Rank】 Jonin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Once a bubbly airhead, Aoi had since matured a whole lot since the war, becoming a lot more conscious of what she says and how she behaves around people. That said, she is a very illuminating and energetic presence, absolutely impossible to miss within a crowd or an occupied room. She still oozes positive aura despite what happened in Konoha 11 years back, searching for ways to make the situation better for everyone. While still having a need to be the center of everything, she did learn to let her attention gobbling and egocentric desires a rest. Nonetheless, she doesn't mind discussing various things she's achieved and something cut people off to express her sometimes misinformed opinion. She means well, but Aoi isn't one to be completely self-conscious either. Because of this, she can't be a social butterfly, but her powerful presence makes for unique charm and charisma to both sexes and her eloquence as a performer allowed her to gain access to positions that were only available in her dreams. Even things she doesn't quite understand, at all, she can make them convincing enough with the right look and her way of expressing it. A crowd pleaser for sure, all this attention and success have gone up to her behavior however. Now a seductress of the highest caliber, she doesn't mind dressing sexy to seduce those of the fairer sex she deems attractive. In spite of this, she's truly looking for someone she could end up with but fails to produce the exact result her now complex mind expects. The biggest enigma about Aoi would be her her brains, her intelligence. Although brainy with random trivia, she isn't the brightest one of the bunch that's for sure. Her vocabulary isn't too large and sometimes says things she just doesn't know the definition of. She's also ignorant when it comes to understanding more complex issues linked together and has trouble associating ideas, in a sense she isn't the most logical person either. This however comes into question when she clearly demonstrates creativity that surpasses a lot of conditioned shinobi. In the field, she is particularly efficient, at the level of her Prodigy counterpart Yamato, with usually very crafty and deceptive tactics used to finish off any type of foe. She doesn't outsmart them, but she pulls off the most unexpected of things while holding a large amount of skill. Despite this, Aoi is something that is easily influenced and holds her situation dearly. Meaning she can be manipulated through things like morals and people's views on her, as yes she actually cares about what people think. She is indeed loyal to the Confederation, but it can be broken given the right initiative by the opposing forces. 【History】 Before the Hamajō reign: Like many children living in an era of poverty in smaller countries, Aoi was abandoned by her parents a few hours after her birth. Fortunately the parents didn't randomly leave her at a home but instead confided her to the renown Don Maquia troupe as they passed the country. They knew leaving an abandoned child there would motivate them to keep it, as it was how they usually made staff. And so, she was raised in a gypsy-esque environment where travelling was frequent and work was every day, no real weekend. As she grew up, Jouro Don Maquia would not cut her some slack and initiated her to the realities of labor and hardships, but she never really complained as it felt normal to her. It didn't mean she was devoid of any fun, if anything fun was something they managed to develop during work and practice for performances. Usually by mixing the two, Aoi and her closest friend Mia had fun doing their chores while doing various acrobatic acts. She was happy with what she had, and couldn't care less about her biological parents. At one point, she'd be initiated to one of the troupe's secrets, a special way to manipulate chakra without being unique. She had a strong affinity for water, being from the Rain village, and naturally developed the abilities to hide in water and rain, but she had no knowledge of chakra otherwise. The basics were learned through usual practice, walking on water impressed many civilians, so it was general practice, substitution made great magic effects, fake clones too and so on. Chakra was something that enabled great success for the troupe, however the true secret revealed to Aoi's specific affinity would be her mucus ability. With it, she'd easily impress her audience while being exceptionally flexible in most domains. Initially, it wasn't meant to be a weapon, but through creativity, she managed to defend herself from low bandits trying to rob the troupe. Eventually reaching Konoha, multiple Jounin took notice of her unique capabilities that they had never seen before and offered her the chance to become a ninja. Realizing how it would approach her to her goal, she righteously accepted and moved on as a Genin without any Academy training (she was more than capable in entry levels). The only problem would be that she'd be unable to read and write, causing problems to her superiors. Sure she managed to learn most of it, but she isn't quite efficient at it, being a slow reader and writing so poorly it's barely comprehensible. She easily learns new lingo, however. After the Hamajō reign: Many events in Konoha honed her as a shinobi, built her as a lover and ascended her as a potential star. The war swept all that away, her skills were no match, her lover drowned into despair and all she worked for was tuned into ash by this coming of a new world. Disoriented and lost, she clung onto her falling girlfriend, Akio, who took the events extremely badly. Occasional abuse in multiple ways and the general change of behavior from the older one of the couple ended up infuriating the now disillusioned Aoi and prompted her to simply abandon the wreck once and for all. She hated this new world, it changed everything, and her naive self liked how things were. Now it was all controlled and safe, no risk worthwhile or a crowd to please as everyone was too busy to recover. Or so she thought. In reality her talents were exactly what the populace needed in this time of rapid reconstruction and loss. She had lost her masters, her friends and her lover, but the Phoenix would rise from its ashes and burn brighter than ever. Making a small reputation, she'd make herself known by higher generals of the Confederation, including Ryuu and Yakoul. Though she had potential, the genius that is Ryuu saw how malleable her mind was and simply offered something she couldn't refuse. Along with Yamato, she's one of the higher shinobi in the Confederate entourage, though she also holds a prime position in the Presidents inner circle. She doesn't have a voice in the matters, but she stands as the head of public relations, the face of the Government when the President isn't the one making declarations. To add to that, she's been given the position of primary news anchor for the Government's main news channel, or at least the most popular one, and is often given the ability to host other shows sponsored by the same channel. Because of this, Aoi's become a rather relevant icon to the Confederation. At a point during her career, she chose the name Fuegushi as surname to replace her previous one as a step through grief. Indeed, upon learning the fact that her childhood troupe had been missing now for years without a trace, she finally accepted they were permanently gone. 【Family ties】 Aoi's ties are rather strange to say the least. She wasn't raised by ordinary parents, but rather grew up as a carny along with the entire Don Maquia troupe. Her relationship with them is worthy of a sibling-type relation, as they grew up with her since she was in diapers. They did not object to her ambition of becoming a famous ninja, having formed her for such usage in any case. They continue to support her through letters and regular visits at Konoha. As of now, the troupe has been missing since the end of the war, many consider them dead, including Aoi who grieved them. Jouro Don Maquia \| Adoptive Father \| 67, Missing, The leader of the Don Maquia Troupe, regarded as the father of every member, he is highly respected and no one dares to question his authority. Mia Don Maquia \| Spiritual Sister \| 28, Missing, A professional acrobat in the troupe, she was Aoi's best friend and closest 'sister'. Bo Don Maquia \| Spiritual Uncle \| 55, Missing, The lion tamer of the troupe, he often took care of Aoi when she had fallen ill or when Jouro wasn't around. Guru \| Pet \| 19, In Aoi's big house, Aoi's attributed animal she had to raise. It is an elephant she often uses in her performances in the troupe. Akio Tendou \| Ex-Lover \| 29, Not here, Aoi's first girlfriend after changing her love interest paradigm. The relationship ended little after the end of the war as Aoi was simply fed up with her bullshit. 【Dreams and fears】 Having achieved her first goal of being a renown figure in not only a big village, but now the whole world, she only dreams of creating new and exciting things for the world to see. She tries her best to have people see the bright side of this world, to keep it intact. She fears losing this imperfect world and falling into the oubliette, or worst yet being seen as a devil for supporting a state that people were, for some reason, fed up with. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Sporadic and relying a lot of deceit to defeat her foes with grace. Aoi holds the idea of making her fights a spectacle, a show to be enjoyed, as such her fighting style has new been geared to manipulate the way they perceive things while making it a powerful experience for everything, whether it is good or bad. She uses her creative skills to have Genjutsu applied in the most unsuspecting of ways and circumstances, making her almost unbelievably difficult to reach at times. She enjoys employing her Hiden since it is her only ninjutsu weapon and often times only solely rely on it when going on the offensive. This isn't to be confused with the idea that she is a potent fighter up close. Though she prefers mid rage considering none of her abilities are efficient at long range and her small frame makes her vulnerable to close quarters, she is very well versed in taijutsu as a former circus clown and performer. Agile and swift with reflexes typical of an expert in the senses, she easily uses her martial arts skills to use the enemy's strength against them and lay them flat quickly. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Mucus Surprise Description: Although not a true bloodline limit, very few in the world are able to master this ability. Essentially it requires initiation from birth and at least an affinity to water, thus it can be classed as a form of Hiden. Rare societies such as the Don Maquia troupe have maintained its secrets. Basically, it enables the wielder to turn their chakra into different form of oozing mucus that can take the form of different imagined objects and have the properties of things such as rubber or gum. The possibilities are quite huge but the product coming from it is thick liquid-like substance that almost always sticks. Strengths: Generally it keeps the properties of rubber and gum, making it not only dangerously adhesive but strongly resistant to kinetic force coming from blunt strikes. When used as a medium to trap others, it is surprisingly lethal and effective. Strongly resistant to burns as it is originally made of water, conducts electricity poorly due to composition however. Weaknesses: Generally easy to cut through depending on the mass and density, which only require extra strength put into cuts. Those with superior physical strength can resist the stickiness to a great extent, even break it under conditions. 【Ninja techniques】 S rank techniques: Super Mega Magician's Secret! (May or may not have one. Will have it validated when I decide to give her one. Because I won't be using her as a PVP character yet, it isn't a big deal. I mostly want to introduce her.) A rank techniques: 3 Gooey Bungee! Jellyfish Sting! Mumbo Jumbo! B rank techniques: 4 Mister Spodes! Gooey Replica Mirrored Bizarro! Dance of the gallant C rank techniques: 4 Water Release: Starch Syrup Capturing Field Freeze Snap! Gooey Surprise! Snot Bubble! D-E rank techniques: 3 Water Release: Hiding in Water Technique Water Release: Hiding in Rain Technique Demonic Illusion: Double False Surroundings Technique *Basic Jutsu 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Gooey Bungee Rank: A Range: From 0 to 80 meters to apply it, maintained in over 200 meters Description: A transparent strand of mucus is created from her body and can be released from any point she desires. The strand itself can have one end stuck against a target she had contact with as much as she can have it latch onto something from a distance (by pointing at it or something similar). While being transparent, it has little to no texture and can barely be felt if touching the skin due to its lack of smell, taste or consistency. This mucus, however, is dangerous for many reasons. It can contract and release whenever Aoi desires (its her chakra after all), the contraction being exceptionally powerful like a form of 'super-rubber', allowing her to pull our push relatively heavy thing by simply connecting the strand to her index finger. The strength and weight of the target will determine the amount of chakra is demands for the contraction strength. She can also transfer it from her finger to say another target and have it contact, causing one or both the targets to be pulled and hit each other. She can use up to fifteen at once. They can be easily cut, however they do not vanish, making them susceptible to being reattached at any moment. Ripping it off would be logical, however if it was to contract, it would be relatively futile. On lighter objects, it can tighten itself to a point where it can act like a chakra thread, manipulating said smaller objects at will, though that doesn't mean she can be as precise as a puppet master. Jutsu name: Unexpected Reveal: Jellyfish Sting! Rank: A Range: Contact Description: A technique developed during the time when Aoi was under evaluation for "Jonin confirmation". Given the lack of examination, she was put under Katsu Hyuuga's care for testing. Forming a type of student - teacher bond, they grew accustomed to each other's abilities and were able to create this technique. Utilizing the same principles as the soft fist fighting style, Aoi either uses the tip of her fingers or the pointed knuckles of her major fingers to "spray" raw mucus chakra. Unlike Hyuuga, she cannot pinpoint it on either tenketsu or on organs to have a result, but she can have the raw chakra pierce through armor (still requires contact) and flesh and have it take solid form a second later. The result is mucus chakra clogging primarily the nervous system and somewhat of the chakra system (mostly efficient on members). If hitting an arm for instance, the nervous messages from let's say the elbow if hit there down to the hands will be blocked, essentially paralyzing the forearm. With the body, hitting the abdomen or the chest strongly reduces mobility to the point where coordination is difficult (members remain normal), the more it is hit the more one will feel exhausted. If the spine, neck or head are hit, they are instantly paralyzed. No matter where, the effects of each hit lasts for two posts. They are also very easy to counter with a strong punch considering Aoi's poor strength, making it an ability extremely efficient but ridiculously risky. The fact that it can just be substituted with a simple stab also gears this to a more non-lethal approach. Jutsu name: Mumbo Jumbo! Rank: A Range: Touch Description: Possibly the most terrifying jutsu used by Aoi and the 'magician's secret' she's never revealed to the public. This is a genjutsu that requires that her chakra enters into contact with an opponent, either via contact or through ninjutsu. With this done, the magic can begin. The victims become completely blind to Shinobi magic and are unable to see or feel Aoi's chakra, and by extension, the forms they take. Any form of ninjutsu she uses will appear strangely, but she'll often make it appear as though they're part of something else, like a trick to deceive the opponent and make them weary. Sensors can see their own chakra as well as chakra in Aoi's body, but not what comes out of it, as such they can see they're under a genjutsu, but when are they not with Aoi? Jutsu name: Mister Spodes! Rank: B Range: Can reach up to 20 meters (tentacles) Description: Using the same cloth as Abra Kadabra, Aoi twists and turns the handkerchief with blinding speed (such as a clown making a balloon animal) until it forms a hollow Octopus with a ^0^ face. It would only be when she tosses it while doing the Ram seal that it suddenly gets filled with a mass of mucus in it. It becomes about 2 feet in height and holds eight tentacles likes a regular octopus. They aren't very mobile and are generally very slow, however their tentacles extend rather quickly and can catch someone off guard. The mucus in the tentacles serves as a form of suction cup that keeps what it captures stuck in a tight bind similar to Gooey Surprise (with same limits). The Mister Spodes can easily glues themselves to the ground to prevent enemies from dragging them, essentially making them very useful seals to non-superhuman fighters. They die when their head it damaged (to the point where it leaks). Aoi can make up to four of them per fight and they can also be used as body replacement dummies. They also have a very eerie tendency to wail 'Boyoyoyoyon' quite often, no one knows how this is possible. Jutsu name: Gooey Replica! Rank: B Range: Self, Clone technique Description: Essentially shadow clone technique applied on mucus. The clones are composed of strange, green mucus and are able to move like regular people. They can also use mucus abilities with half the power of the original (in exception to techniques higher in rank than this one). When they die, they explode into a heavy mass of mucus that sticks onto anything around them, hence their use as suicide bombers to hinder the movements of an opponent. Up to seven can be made per fight. Jutsu name: Mirrored Bizarro! Rank: B Range: Smell Description: A genjutsu that depends on smell related activation. Because Aoi constantly wears a high quality Lavender perfume that ca be smelled from multiple meters away, she she exploits that fact to make it extremely hard to detect. In this circumstance, she performs a single hand seal, often doing it after doing another jutsu to make the enemy believe only one jutsu was made, but she actually makes her chakra adopt an aroma the same as her perfume. The smell is strong but hardly noticeable due to it being normal in her presence, but it deeply affects the perception of the people infected. In this case, everything they perceive will be inverted in direction, left is right, up is down. They will see everything this way, but the reality of it will be the contrary. The victim can pick up on it as they can also hear the real version attacking in the opposite side (as well as sense it via chakra sensing), but the illusion remains overwhelmingly real, and without a release, their reflexes will likely make them sloppier as it would seem as though they are genuinely attacked from the illusion. Jutsu name: Dance of the gallant Rank: B Range: Sight Description: A Genjutsu that is activated whenever the patterns on her umbrella are seen as they hold a hypnotic effect combined with her chakra. The effects allow her to create a replica of herself between 0 m to 1 m away from her, no matter the side. It will mimic movements typical of Aoi, however the true Aoi is completely replaced by the false one. This is usually made to confuse close range attackers, making them think she is capable of dodging everything before taking the right opportunity to strike. This can also be used to simply confuse any form of attacker into hitting the false image while th real remains concealed. Exceptionally deadly if the genjutsu isn't noticed fast enough. The image can of course move around as long as Aoi is in the perimeter. Jutsu name: Freeze Snap! Rank: C Range: Sight - Sound Description: Aoi forms a small ball of Yin chakra and simply tosses it in the air or on the nearby ground, only to have it pop like fireworks or a firecracker. The flash is so bright, it works as a flashbang. The effects are simple, those exposed regain their sight extremely fast, the flash was barely a millisecond, but they'll feel an endless buzzing sound in their ears with nothing else and the world around them frozen in time. Everything looks like the instant before the bang went out. Evidently a Genjutsu, it is easy to notice and Kai out. Jutsu name: Gooey Surprise! Rank: C Range: Close, in person. Description: A much more developed variation of the transformation technique. Indeed, the user covers themselves with a gooey layer of mucus capable of taking different shapes and sizes, colors and textures. The mucus is highly adhesive though, enough to make it act like quicksand: The more there's resistance, the deeper it gets, though it cannot be that deep because of Aoi's thin figure. It is very useful for trapping though not too specialized in hand to hand combat. Those specialized can use their techniques to break free with relative ease, though it doesn't mean that they're immune to the immediate effects. It doesn't give immunity to heat either, though it does slightly reduce overall damage, along with any other type of damage really. Jutsu name: Snot danger parade! Rank: C Range: Varies, close to medium usually. Description: By either using a specific hand sign or inhaling things like pepper, Aoi sneezes large mucus bubbles capable of swallowing more than one individual. The larger that it can get would be as large as a horse. Those trapped inside can easily pop it, however it would result in the bubble imploding, not only causing strong pressure to hit their bodies, rendering most to a rather confused and head aching state, while being covering in dense mucus stuck on the ground. This also causes smaller, human size bubbles to take shape. If the popping is made from outside, the explosion is general and hits everyone except those inside. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Fuegushi Weapon, tool or object type: Umbrella Description: A strange, light blue umbrella Aoi carries around with her. It appears to be the type en vogue these days, but her's holds a strange butterfly-like black pattern on it which enables one of her genjutsu. The handle can be removed to revealed a concealed blade, slightly shorter than a rapier. This Umbrella is capable of releasing a powerful kinetic force at close range when opened, making it capable of repelling powerful projectiles without even a recoil when the timing is right, making some unsuspecting close rangers stumble back in surprise as well. It is chakra enhanced and its fabric is strangely durable yet thin. Weapon, tool or object name: Magic Cards Weapon, tool or object type: Cutting weapon Description: A set of playing cards forged to be as sharp as a kunai, however lighter and more malleable. They are easier to use but weak in one on one blade fights as their small weight makes them easy to break through. They are perfect for assassination and tactically placed hits, however.
51,198	1,381	105	985	319	Nori Hisakawa Red Sages Nori looked over at Anzai for a moment, sitting down at the seat Seijo had offered him. "Nori. Nori Hisakawa, if you wanted a more formal introduction." He waited before continuing, only giving Yudai a nod of greeting while Seijo continued her ranting. It was a bit relieving to listen to; she was sounding less like a glorified commander, and more like a shinobi on their footing. Well, perhaps still slightly above them. There was definitely some arrogance in there, but nowhere near the levels of Mikoto, or as she had just implied, Anzai. She finally topped it off with the simple announcement that she was going to go get some rest, with an offhand comment about how their names had a tinge of similarity. "Well, her presence was short-lived, although I'm guessing that have a blast means more along the lines of, get to know each other while you have the chance. Not necessarily an order, but I agree with Yudai; I wouldn't mind knowing who I'm fighting alongside." Nori looked to Anzai, raising a curious eyebrow, although he figured that his facial expression meant little to the man. "You're blind, then? Between the cane and keeping your eyes closed like that, hopefully I'm not being rude with that assumption. It's really either that, or you are dedicated to giving off some sort of mysterious impression, which would be terribly ridiculous." Nori took his gaze from Anzai, looking over to Yudai now, a little less intrigued. "I recognize you better, Yudai. You went right in with the Lady Commander on the earlier mission, and were one of the first to catch up with her during the retreat after Mikoto and I. Seems as though she's rather impressed with your performance, and humility. Ah, but forgive me." Nori spread his arms and nodded his head in a mild apology. "Sorry, I didn't mean to rant like this. Just trailed off while stating my mind. Feel free to speak now." He was genuine about it. He had gone from wanting to start a conversation to throwing out his personal analysis; he wanted to hear what they had to say more than he wanted them to listen to him.	“Sacrifice yourself to do one good thing, or live on to do many? Think about it.” Standing at about 5'11" and weighing in at 150~lb, Nori is tall, lean shinobi, with an air of thoughtful relaxation about him. His bluish-black hair is trimmed slightly shorter than in the picture above, keeping the bangs out of his eyes, and the length in the back about halfway down the neck. His skin is rather pale, with sharp grey eyes, and slightly pointed teeth reminiscent of the Seven Ninja Swordsman of the Mist. Attire-wise; in battle, he forgoes a flak jacket, instead settling for a chain mesh under a loose, sleeveless blue shirt, black shin-length pants, standard issue black sandals, arm-guards, and his dark blue scarf tucked into the back of his shirt; a worn Kirigakure plate is attached to the end of this. Out of battle, his attire is much more modern; while he still sticks to wearing blue out of habit, he often dresses in semi-casual suit jackets, button-up shirts, slacks, and sneakers, varying to weather and situation as necessary. The only consistency is the dark-blue scarf, kept with him regardless of occasion. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Nori Hisakawa 【Alias】 The Listener; The Drowning Spear; Scarfy 【Affiliation】 Red Sages 【Age】 23 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Bisexual 【Birthplace】 Kirigakure 【Bloodline】 Hisakawa 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Nori is an analytical type. Even in casual conversations, he will take long periods of time to listen thoroughly to what the other(s) have to say before replying, replying only when he has found something worthwhile to say in response. He's often relaxing to be around because of this trait; you'll almost never be interrupted or ignored, and especially those needing to blow off some steam will drift to him. The responses are where that line becomes less clear-cut. His honesty in his responses, and the depth he might go to analyze a statement, can lead to starting an argument that never needed to happen, or worsening an existing one. Not everyone likes hearing the truth. He doesn't seem to regret these situations, since the problem wasn't his fault in the first place. Some people think he's arrogant because of this aloofness, and they wouldn't be wrong. He'll become frustrated if people challenge his analysis, and even moreso if he happens to have made a mistake in his interpretation of the situation in the first place. Being such a good listener though, sometimes he has trouble starting conversations, or holding them. He doesn't really have the social drive to keep up small talk for very long, and he also dislikes having to talk about himself. It takes work for him to honestly feel like opening up to anyone, and he grows extremely uncomfortable talking about himself or his past. Which leads to a conflict of interests; if he can talk to you about your problems, why can't he talk to you about his own? 【History】 Nori is the only son of his parents, a non-shinobi father and a hunter-nin mother, in the unsteady Kirigakure village. With the years preceding the era of peace from the Hamajō Confederation, his mother was hardly ever home for the boy, constantly performing missions, be they for the village, or against its defectors. No questions asked has always been the terms of the Hidden Mist though, and so he simply smiled and nodded when his father constantly praised her mother as a hero, regardless of how dirty her job was. Even when she did return though, she never doted on him, unlike how he saw other mothers do with their children. She simply enjoyed the brief tranquility that would come between her missions as much as possible, and Nori accepted the exhaustion that came with his mother, the "hero." As he grew into his Academy years, he himself trained diligently in the Academy, to become a "great hero" like his scarcely seen mother, and succeeded; he was quiet, talented, and most importantly, obedient. What he also learned however, is how to be an outcast; children in times of war are never settled, and they found every reason to question why his father wasn't a shinobi, and tease that maybe his mother wouldn't come back this time. He simply let them speak and continued his training; his father did everything he could as a parent, and his mother was a hero. He didn't have the nerve to question them early on, and didn't care once he understood later. Even after learning of just what the job of hunter-nin entailed, well, it was just another grisly duty, and he would be more than willing to follow his mother's footsteps in that role. And then, during his graduating year at the Academy, the war hit a terrifying peak for Kirigakure--the destruction of the village. People scattered. Most died. Nori and his family were of the lucky ones; they managed to get out before the devastation, finding themselves heading north across the water to the Land of Lightning, and the new Kumo Province. For a long time, neither of them knew where his mother was. His father took up the task of farming, struggling to get by in the lackluster area. Nori didn't know what to do. He had been following in his mother's footsteps, but how could he join a military that let their home be destroyed and separated him from his "hero?" His decision would be solidified several years later, after the Hamajō Confederation had settled in. After the destruction of Kirigakure, his mother had been lost. She didn't know what had happened to her family. She thought them likely dead, herself being another lucky one, sent over to the Land of Fire on her most recent task. The loss of home, the loss of family...she ended up with some of the scattered armies, and eventually decided that she would fight against the power that couldn't protect her anymore; she joined the would-be Red Sages, and eventually got herself killed for it. Family connections were made. The Confederation came to his father's farm, looking for intel on the Red Sages. Neither of them knew anything about what had happened after Kirigakure, and after some extremely stern interrogation, decided that refugees fled to Kumo wouldn't know what happened to a traitor last seen near Konoha. "Traitor." That was the term that had solidified his decision. There had to be a reason; she had been a hunter-nin. Her duty: to track down rogue shinobi, the traitors. She had to know the consequences of becoming the hunted, so the reason for her supposed defection had to have some meaning behind it. He thought it over, and decided to continue her fight. His father never questioned it; he was a grown man now, and his decision was his own. He would join the Red Sages, and fight the real traitors. 【Family ties】 Nori grew up in a single-father middle-class household, with his mother visiting only once every several months during her time of service after she got herself off of maternity leave. He has no siblings. After the destruction of Kirigakure, he lived in near-poverty with his single father, and never saw his mother again. Naozumi Hisakawa \| Father \| 50, Kumogakure, farmer.

His fears are for his father being punished for having two criminals in the family, despite his innocence. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Nori focuses around genjutsu-based combat, looking to manipulate his opponents into a corner with various Water-style ninjutsu and weaponry--most notably being a naginata--before locking them down with genjutsu and going in to finish the job. 【N/A】 Bloodline limit name: N/A Description: User possesses no known kekkei genkai. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: B rank techniques: Water Release: Water Formation Wall C rank techniques: Water Prison Technique Water Clone Technique Water Release: Water Bullet Technique Water Release: Water Bowl D-E rank techniques: Body Replacement Technique Unsealing Technique Hiding in Mist Technique 【Custom made techniques】 Aquatic Bone Suffering Rank: B Range: Dependent Description: This jutsu causes all water created from a previous Water Release ninjutsu to have an extreme numbing effect to any skin in contact with it, extremely hindering the sense of touch, and in turn, making it more difficult to control the dampened areas. While the effect is immediate and intense though, it's reliant on how wet the opponent is; if they've been successfully dodging techniques, or happen to be in heavy armor, they likely won't be affected significantly. Likewise, managing to sufficiently dry themselves will remove the effect, and as with all genjutsu, if they are aware it's the illusion of loss of sensation, then they can mentally force themselves to overcome it if possible. The strength of the technique is its subtlety and range, the weakness being its ease of avoidance. Jutsu name: Water Release: Seashell Current Discord Rank: B Range: Mid to long-range Description: An audio genjutsu, in which the user releases a quick jet of water from their mouth onto anything nearby. Those hearing any noise the jet of water creates, such as its impact, will begin hearing only the noise they heard the genjutsu create, be it a splash on another body of water, against a tree, etc., essentially cutting off their ability to hear. In combination with the Hiding in Mist Technique, it can be crippling to have one of your other means of locating your opponent crippled. The strength of the genjutsu lies in it's simplicity of execution and subtlety. The weaknesses lie in the lack of physical hindrance; the opponent is not incapacitated in any other way, and it can be avoided by not hearing the initial noise, and the technique can be overcome with sufficient time/chakra control. Jutsu name: Kingdom of the Eastern Seas Rank: A Range: Short Description: The user clasps their hand at an opponent's throat or forehead while casting the genjutsu, after which, the victim will be under the illusion of being dragged to the bottom of the ocean floor; painful, crushing water pressure, asphyxiation, no light, and no sound. These effects persist until the caster of the genjutsu releases their hand from the opponent, or loses the ability to channel the chakra. The weakness of the technique lies in its extremely close range, especially so with the need to grasp something as usually well-protected as a head or neck. The strength lies in the fast effects and sheer intensity of the genjutsu, crippling all senses at once, incapacitating most in short order. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Customized Naginata Description: A 5 foot long bright grey naginata, with the bottom half able to collapse into the top to make it a more efficient weapon at extremely close range, as well as the tsuba consisting of a hardened rubber disk, to insulate electricity coming through the blade, knowing that his exclusive use of water techniques makes him quite vulnerable to an electric discharge. The coloration is exclusively for blending in with the Hiding in Mist Technique, to make the weapon harder to see. Okay, just threw it in over the post I had to "delete" before.
51,199	1,381	106	1,015	2,826	Aroshima Sarutobi The Red Sages - Secret Base. Naomi explained to him who she was - the one in charge, they would be going on a mission, with someone who he had never heard of. And once the mission had been decided, Aro and Naomi were both heading towards the Mess Hall, when someone else headed towards the two, Aro digging into his pocket to get out his last cigarette, lighting it while the new guy - seemingly also someone of stature, might be worth listening, asking Naomi about a dress. He was putting the moves on her. He was talking in the same tone that Aro himself used whenever he was trying to flirt with women, except unlike Aro, this guy lacked any real finesse. He was a newbie in the art of seduction, really. He began talking about the plan, they would infiltrate an auction in Konoha, which was pretty risky for Aro, people could easily recognize him. Naomi and that guy would infiltrate the base, while Aro and someone else he didn't know would be backup. Shrugging, he spoke dryly, exhaling smoke. Aro would suggest to trade places with the guy - he was known in Konoha, his clan known loyalists, he had a fair amount of pull within the city on those grounds alone, but, he instead refrained. Partly because he wanted to see what this guy's plan was, but also because he figured he was in charge for a reason. He talked to Naomi, primarily and asked if she had eaten, while also looking at Aro, whom nodded, before asking him about the Bashoshen, and he smirked. "Eh, not really. Artifact from the ancient times, had strong connections to the Tailed Beasts, hasn't seen combat since the fourth shinobi war." He shrugged, before locking eyes with the man. "Not recorded combat, anyway." "Tell me where to be and when."	Hillan's compendium of characters that are cooler than you. They're all vegan. “It's easy being me!” Aro stands at 174 CM, his build is slender, like most boys his age. He's taller than most of his peers, being almost as tall as most adults. His eyes are blue, with a red nasty scar running down his right eye - the scar caused by him falling off the swings, right into kunai lying in the sand, only a couple of inches from poking his eye out. Besides that, he has a tattoo on his left shoulder, running down over his chest - a pinup of a Kunoichi, with green hair and bandages over her bussom under a cut flack-jacket, showing off her belly. Aro always dresses in a casual looking suit, much to the dismay of his seniors - chinos, dress shirt, tie and sports jacket. All in black, except for the shirt and the tie, which are white and red, respectively. Black gloves don his hands, or his pocket. His red hair is usually braided or in a ponytail, keeping the front unkempt. Personnel files. 【Full Name】 Aroshima Sarutobi. 【Alias】 Aro - The Stormchaser 【Affiliation】 Soon to be Crimson Scholars. ( Red Sages.) 【Age】 18 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Yes. 【Birthplace】 Konoha 【Bloodline】 Uzumaki 【Rank】 Chunnin Psych. report. 【Personality】 Aro is a little egocentric, he's not uncaring, or easily excitable, but he is self-assured. He speaks his mind, saying exactly what he means and never beating his chest. He knows his strengths and his weaknesses, proudly proclaiming his positive traits, and doing his best to hide his weaknesses. He is truly something of a believer - as most of his clansmen tend to be, his head sometimes in the clouds, instead of on the task ahead of him. However, his natural slacker tendencies have been all but eradicated thanks to the disciplined upbringing of the Sarutobi Household. He's a excellent soldier, and a free thinker. He might be a jack of all trades and a master of none - or he might be the best of both worlds. Discipline and self-awareness working in perfect harmony. 【History】 He was born in Konoha, his parents both shinobi at the time - his father a jounin and his mother a special chunnin. He grew up in a tough household, being expected to keep up the standards of his fellow Sarutobi, despite showing none of their natural prowess for the ninjutsu arts. In the academy, he was popular due to being social and a easily approachable guy. He wasn't too loud, he wasn't too quiet - he was always ' right on the curve'. He was mediocre, truly. He graduated at 12, and was put in a team with two other kids, just like everyone else. He grew a lot during this time, able to graduate into chunnin at the age of 16, now showing true prowess, proving himself as a fighter and shinobi, using his wits instead of his chakra to overcome challenges. He made headway during the third part of the chunnin exam, where he made his opponent surrender without throwing a single punch, but instead simply talked to him, using his charisma to convince his opponent that maybe his purpose in life wasn't to be a chunnin - maybe he wanted to be something else. His opponent went on to be a baker, a damn good one. Aro's always been fascinated with the power of nature - of storms, in particular, ever since he was little and a storm tore through the Sarutobi compound, lightning running down the big oak tree in the center, leaving beautiful marks. Due to his fascination with the natural phenomenon he has made a name for himself as The Stormchaser - always on a adventure to find a storm, and tailoring his techniques after said storms. 【Family ties】 His mother was a proud member of the Uzumaki clan, strong, passionate and incredibly caring, his father a warrior of the Sarutobi clan, concerned with the fate of the world. They were joined thanks to their love for poetry, and found their love in the craft. He grew up in the Sarutobi clan grounds, being trained like one of the clan famous for their tendency to breed prodigies. His childhood was hard - but not too hard. His mother is currently very sick with a form of cancer, and his father is a retired shinobi, unable to continue his work because of many battle earned injuries. Sahashi Sarutobi \| Father \| 49, Konoha, Former-Shinobi, current teacher at the academy and creator of the 'Scarlet Robin' Poem. Nami Uzumaki \| Mother \| 41, Konoha, None. and currently in the hospital under intensive care. 【Dreams and fears】 Aro is a dreamer, that is true. But what are his dreams, truly? Well, at first sight, it strikes me like the only things he cares about are steak dinner and female civilians to flirt with. But over a few sessions, it's clear that he has a deeper purpose. He cares, he really does care. About who, and for what purpose? It's impossible to really tell, it's a question best left for time to answer. When asked to talk about his fears, Aro shrugged and said he was afraid of not being enough, that his fears was really not something he thought about a lot. He sometimes felt a little anxious, being part of the lead clan of the nobles in Konoha came with a burden all within itself, after all. Combat reports. 【Fighting style】 The short and curly is that Aro is a brawler, taking influence from the kickboxing style of martial arts, amplifying it with the use of his knuckle dusters. Relying on momentum-based strikes and his natural agility to defeat his opponent with his taijutsu. However, despite this, he is not stupid, and on multiple occasions proven to be a thinker, using his natural affinity for seal-based techniques, mix with his elemental jutsu to defeat foes more powerful than him. 【Ninja techniques】 B rank techniques: Great Dragon Fire Technique Lightning Release: Flying Swallow Ash Pile Burning C rank techniques: Great Fireball D-E rank techniques: All Academy Techniques. 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Lightning Release: Lightning Rider Rank: A Range: Effective range - Melee. Description: Aro channels a lightning bolt through his body, using it to literally ride the lightning towards the ground, at the same speed the bold naturally travels. The energy of the bolt circumventing in his fist, leading to a tremendous amounts of power being channeled through his hand and knuckle duster. While it is primarily a single target attack, it could be used to straight up attack the ground, causing a shockwave able to shatter the ground in a small area. A direct hit is often a direct sentence to the hospital - or worse. Naturally, the power of the technique comes from the speed as few can outrun the speed of a lighting bolt. However, the speed is it's own drawback as it can quite easily harm Aro, leaving him in a weakened state after using it, usually even dislocating his arm. The glaring flaw with the technique is that it's hard to aim as he has no natural way of controlling the bolt. It soley relies on the concept of hitting someone with the bolt of lightning - a bolt Aro cannot throw. Jutsu name: Sealing Technique: Homing Lightning. Rank: C Range: Melee Description: Aro places a seal on a opponent, object or ally which works as a chakra infused lightning rod, leading the electric discharge directly to the target. This technique, just like Lightning Rider, relies on a strong current of electricity being present, something Aro has no means of generating on his own accord. Jutsu name: Red Fang Strike Rank: C Range: Melee. Description: A Series of four to six punches executed by Aros trademark kickbox style of brawling, leaning in close before unleashing the combination which is made more deadly with his electric flying sparrow technique. 【Weapons:】 He carries a set of knuckle dusters. And a pack of cigarettes, a zippo lighter, too.
51,200	1,381	107	1,221	49	Tanji Tsugiharu Central Command, Konoha Ame-Suna Border, Harvest Festival(Not) During his assignment to the 11th corps. the regulars he worked under taught him a very simple but essential acronym that was vital in ensuring that the Confederacy stay as a unified state: R.A.P.E, Reassignment of Patriotic Emotions, a crude term to be sure, but not easily forgotten. Put in simpler terms, as the commander described it, "Legal Engineering," meant a citizen had abused his government issued freedoms and the state just wanted to repair it back to acceptable standards. What a time to be alive, Tanji believed. He would be running support for a great Shinobi, and all the while ensuring the public's safety. As far as Tanji was concerned cutting an artery of the rebellious body was just as important as making sure the populace was compliant. As such, Tanji was far from disappointed at the mission parameters and shook with anticipation. Pumped as he was he even dropped some of his stiff professionalism and whispered to his comrade chunin, "Isn't this great! Expediting the process of law-keeping through action, aren't you glad to be chosen by the commander?" he grinned a beaming grin before resuming his attentive stance. Oh course this mission meant he must be steel himself, those weak of mind and soft of zeal made poor agents in "convincing" dissidents on the glories of the state. Whatever the commander had in plan he'd need to keep up with it. Tanji was a zealous son of the state, but he knew his limits and hoped that the commander did too. Efficiency was invaluable in this line of work in that stalls and fuck-ups would only lead to possible escape or violent retaliation of the prey, Tanji just hoped his skills would be up to par and not prove to be a disappointment to his commander and comrade as they prepared for their visit to the Village Hidden by Rocks. "No other questions from me Boss, I hope to serve you well." Admittedly Tanji was curious to ask what exactly the commander was and where it was from, it being a "free-spirited" persona in its own right in addition to its queer form, Tanji opted to just ask it in private once they were dismissed. Of course he'd rather not pry if it didn't want to talk about it. Additionally he thought about asking some questions from his fellow chunin. Mostly friendly questions, where is she from, hobbies, preferred M.O.'s, but one additional question he asks all squad-mates. This one was a bit free-form and arbitrary, but it was quite serious to him, he made sure to always ask with a nuetral and objective gaze, "What does the Confederacy mean to you?"	“I think he's dead -er, well, everybody else think he is, but now I'm not sure.” An unassuming man by most standards, not impressive or lacking in most aspects, just simply there. Short, if a bit rustled, brown hair, with a square face free of any scars or blemishes and average everyday brown eyes, in the academy you wouldn't really notice him in the sea of exceptional talent, but he gets by.Not particularly skinny, tall, muscular, just a healthy and acceptable male in his early 20's. Probably not going to amount to much beyond being a low-tier Jonin if he's lucky. Probably. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Tanji Tsugiharu 【Alias】 The Master Coward 【Affiliation】 Confederacy 【Age】 22 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Straight 【Birthplace】 Kusagakure 【Bloodline】 The Long, and Ancient Line of Stalwart Customs House Guards, the Tanji House has protected the village from attacks from undeclared fruits, paperless neer-do-wells, and other dangers of the Border. 【Rank】 Chunin Psych. report. Tanji Tsugiharu has exhibited little to no extreme beliefs or jarring idiosyncrasies (which in itself might be one). The Confederacy has deemed him a loyal citizen of the state. He has a positive work ethic, follows rules and regulations to the letter save for the most exceptional situation (of which he has been disciplined and reprimanded as per the law). He is as kind and self-less as any bachelor of the confederacy is and is devoted to his position. 【Personality】 Rather mundane. Pleasant enough in many social interactions, and prefers to follow conversations rather than lead them himself. That said he has some good friends back in his home town and has made a decent few in his new post. Amicable to his clients, but oddly stoic and unfeeling when it comes to dealing with traitors and rebels. He prefers to spend his free time drinking with close friends in a quiet homely tavern or ramen shop, and has an odd fixation with karaoke. When off duty he spends his days with his small family back in his home town. In battle he is as serious as any good shinobi should be in those situations. He is selfless in his duty to the confederacy and has volunteered to be bait on multiple occasions on the condition that the battle ends quickly afterwards. When plans fail and battles are drawn out he doesn't panic too much, but 9 times out of 10 will opt to lead or support a withdrawal. "Live to fight another day." 【History】 Tsugiharu's parents were simple Chunin Guards with a Customs House on a major trade route, their duties were rather mundane and drool, but once in a while held excitement when travelers had disagreements with the customsofficer. The couple resided in a modest home after an unplanned pregnancy had made the two man and wife. It was tough going at first but the relative isolation and non-relevancy of the village made for a peaceful life, and they grew content and able with the new family. 14 years after the birth of their first son, and with much more financial stability the 2 deemed themselves ready for another son. The Tanji house lived peacefully for 3 more years until the dissent and turmoil of the Confederacy reached their village leading to a violent terrorist attack on the village's crossroads leading to their deaths. This left the 17 year old boy to care for his young brother, fortunately the Proprietor of the Customs House, who at that point was now an old family friend offered to shelter the 2 orphans until the 18th birthday of the elder brother who decided to not rely on the kindness of the Customs Master any longer. Such the 2 siblings lived in a shabby apartment the elder supporting the small family as a Customs House guard like his parents. He, Tanji Hamurato, would continue to support (and sometimes spoil) his younger brother as he took his own wife(Tanji Orimoto) and had a daughter (Tanji Ekka) of their own while was just starting high-school. Tsugiharu was an average student in his own right never excelling or lacking in any field or discipline. He was studious and forthwith at the academy but never went above or beyond what was required. His work as a Genin in his squad was also mundane sticking to class D and lower missions, in exception to one class C defense contract. Simply tasked with defending a local tavern from extorting thugs (non-shinobi rabble), the mission report told of the 3 genin having to deal with some thugs as the accompanying Jonin talked with the owners, but nothing really came out of it. However rumors that local gangster being rather jumpy, defensive and generally paranoid around small sounds and shadows circulated around the tavern's area. Come the Chunin exams though he displayed adept problem solving and leadership skills within his squad, but that might have just been in need rather than by ambition. He opted to remain quarrel-less and jovial with the other Genin and never really showed exceptionaltalent other than what was required to get through the trials. However it can be noted that during the elimination tournament that the young Tanji employed some rather harsh and quick measures using poisons, weapons and simple genjutsus to end matches before his opponents can truly pull out their trump cards. A good thing too, for the proctors had stated that if not for his "bag of cheap tricks" his opponents would have easily out-classed him had the fight dragged on. He was unceremoniously given the rank of Chunin, barely passing after having been defeated by the more Capable Genin that saw through his ruses in the final rounds of the tournament. After graduating opted to become a Contract work Shinobi unlike his family before him. He takes missions for the Confederacy as many times as he can, but seems to seek missions pertaining to the rooting out and apprehension of dissident and unloyal citizens and terrorists. Currently lives by himself in a modest apartment close to his work place. 【Family ties】 Lower-Middle Class, had some hardships for sure, but was never truly in danger of starving or dying of exposure. Such a life made Tsugiharu rather humble and soft-spoken. Hopes to keep up with his duties and occasionally visits his brother and his family. Tanji Hamurato \| Elder Brother \| (36), Kusagakure, Currently a guard at a customs house. Sanguine, always optimistic and smiling in many situations. Tanji Orimoto \| Sister-in-Law \| (35), Kusagakure, Housewife of Hamurato, Choleric, rather plain but has the charm of a country girl going for her. Demure and rather quiet in contrast to her husband. Tanji Ekka\| Niece \| 9, Kusagakure, Student, Mercurial, tempermental and extremely competitive. A bit of a tomboy and a much more naturally talented than her father and uncle in the academy. 【Dreams and fears】 Dreams of finally bringing the traitors and belligerents of the Confederacy to justice and hopes to finally see peace and order to the state. Fears of losing his family to the dangers that is the enemies of the Confederacy. Combat reports. Has a quite odd fighting style and might be the epitome of "work smarter not harder." Picks and chooses his engagements when he knows the enemy may be taken down quickly and with minimal loss. This usually ends up with him or a squad-mate in grievous condition so long the opponent is taken out before unnecessary damage is done to anybody else. Such operations usually include him stringing together a myriad of feints, illusions and gambits to ensure the enemy can be taken down in one decisive attack by his squad rather than prolonged engagements. This unfortunately makes him rather sub-par when caught unawares. As such he is most delegated to planned attacks on high value targets to either eliminate, apprehend or interrogate 【Fighting style】 Some might call his methods cowardice but it has kept him alive. He employs the liberal use of clones supplemented by heavy use of false sounds and images using his specialized study in illusionary genjustsu. He chips away at his opponents using small thrown weapons like shurikens and senbons to keep his opponent on edge and unfocused. While his genjutsu gives ample distractions and false visions he also uses fine rope and bells tied to said weapons to create snares and distractions for the slim but inevitable chance that his opponent finally makes a mistake. When they do he delivers a powerful and dibilitating poisons through the same methods as above when the opponent finally opens themselves up to receive his limited supply. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 NONE 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Bringer of Darkness Technique B rank techniques: Demonic Bells: Phantom Sound Chains (Uses a Network of Tuned Bells strung onto ropes to create a melody rather than a flute) Interrogation Genjutsu C rank techniques: Earth Release: Underground Projection Fish Technique.

51,201	1,381	108	925	1,132	Collaboration Between God King Savato and GrafRoy Zeppeli Aoi Fuegushi & Kanata Amatsurahashi Sunagakure Yakoul asked again if they had any questions, before their oncoming mission for Iwagakure. "Well, have a blast then, guys.. I need some ice for my cheek too." Kanata said, turning to Yakoul and glaring some at him. It had hurt really damn much, so yes, she was indeed going to get some ice for her cheek. She walked outside the room and slammed the door shut behind her. After that, she headed for the cafeteria. Some nice lunch lady might give her a bag with ice. Yakoul's speech back there was rather loaded for the tiny Aoi, making her cringe with ever over the top additive he'd put to render the ideas he'd convey more 'colorful'. Nonetheless, she noted multiple details regarding his position on this 'war' as well as the various reactions from the new 'Armed Forces'. The blue haired idol didn't stick around long, she was quite frankly anxious when thinking of delivering a report to the new station in a few hours. At least she wasn't the one to present the breaking news articles. As such, Aoi would be sitting calmly in the cafeteria, devoid of any strong activity as most shinobi seemed to have left for Suna's finer places. On a table, alone, she was simply writing on that same notebook, this time complimenting the details with her thoughts and what to prioritize later on. She only had a plastic cup with milkshake set next to the piece of scripture and would occasionally take a sip. It would only be when Kanata broke the lingering silence that the young woman's focus would break. Instantly she'd recognize the teen's face from earlier, the kid that went along with Yakoul for God knows what. But this time she had a nasty red mark on her face. Curious now, Aoi kept an awkward glance at her until she'd get the attention she yearned. Kanata approached one of the lunch ladies. She sure was glad that everything was quieter now. Nobody could see the big red mark on her cheek that way. She didn't want other people knowing she was just hit by her superior, so she'd have to think up some ridiculous excuse like 'I hit myself with the toothpaste cap'. After the gentle lady handed over a bag filled with ice, she pressed it against her swelling cheek. However, there was something at the back of her head that was bugging her. Was someone staring at her? It only grew stronger with each passing second. Soon, she turned around, trembling a bit with anger and shouted, "What are you staring at, creep?! Take a photo, they last longer!" As soon as she shouted that, though, she realised who it was. Aoi Fuegushi. Crap. She just shouted at one of the kunoichis she admired the most. "Eh, um, err, I mean-!" She had nothing to say now. She had just made the world's most horrible first impression. Aoi giggled at the sight of such a personality. The red hair was indeed fitting in such a blazing individual. At least she didn't take the first response so badly, then again Aoi was a bit of a social basket if we were to factor in her past experiences. She gestured the little, yet taller than the star herself, chuunin to come over to the table and take a seat. The busy woman became fully relaxed and disconnected from her job as she saw this opportunity to make a new friend. Pen dropped and notebook put side, she was already excited to get this started. Kanata looked at her sides when the blue haired shinobi motioned with her hand for her to approach her. Was she really asking Kanata to approach her? Regardless, Kanata walked onward to meet her idol, doubt still in her mind. If she had not call for her, then she could still meet Aoi Fuegushi all the same. "Do you like ice cream?" She simply asked with a heart warming smile on her expression. She was trying to inviting after all. "I do, err, ma'am?" Kanata was still doubtful of how to answer, but Aoi, unlike Yakoul, did have her respect. "Good! Two Sudaes Madame, please~" She called out at the nice lady at the counter who would go on ahead and do just that. The blue haired woman took a few seconds to scrutinize the teen's appearance with her dazzling blue eyes before looking up at Kanata's. "You can sit, knucklehead~ Also, you can call me Aoi IF! ... You tell me your name." She purposely added a little emotion to that set of phrases to both surprise the girl as well as amuse her. Though she was also well aware she could intimidate her followers rather easily by being so casual. Kanata let out a relieved sigh and sat in front of Aoi. "It's good to see you are so relaxed, Aoi-san." Kanata nodded, "I am Kanata, so you can call me that too." She beamed a smile at Aoi too. This was a really good thing to off-balance a really bad day. "But man, it sure is good to see you don't have a stick up your ass like Yakoul. I thought all of the big wigs were like him." She said as she caressed the back of her head. "Ah..." She quickly brought a single hand to her mouth. "Sorry about that... My tongue tends to move faster than my brain sometimes." Aoi let out a stronger laugh, visibly amused by how heated this young girl could be and didn't seem to have a single problem with swearing. By then the lady would have come back to serve them some nice sundaes. Aoi didn't waste time and dug into the first scoop covered in chocolate. "Mmm, it's okay, they're almost all like that." She'd say with her mouth half full before swallowing the melted cream. "You haven't seen Yamato, a total downer! You've seen him right? He was down there close to me while kitty cat was talking~" She'd scoot her working equipment to the side so she'd have her sundae all in the front lines, her spoon being the mighty blade to strike it all down. "I guess he gave you the tail, huh?" Aoi casually added as if it were something typical, a mundane event she had seen before. Another relieved sigh escaped Kanata's lips after Aoi reassured her that she didn't mind the swearing. That was fucking good, since it was 80% of her vocabulary. "Yeah, friggin' cat lost it after I said we should call him 'Neko-sama' to not get confused with gender specific titles like sir or ma'am... and by the way, what is he anyway?" Like any other adolescent, Kanata digged into her own ice cream, being careful not to talk with food still in her mouth (thanks to her retarded homo brother), and making a face filled with disbelief as she talked with Aoi. Aoi nearly spat out the ice cream in her mouth when hearing the brand new nickname, laughing rather uncontrollably for a few seconds before attempting to control herself. "Oh my, whewww, ooohh, haha! Neko-Sama?! He must've lost it! And I thought Kitty Cat was bad." She started to really like this kid, good to know that her intuition and judgement of character were still at peak efficiency. "So why'd he even want to talk to you? He's usually alone taking naps when not dealing with erm, stuff? I don't even know what he does these days really." "Hell if I know." She took another scoop of ice cream and shoved it into her mouth. She was now supporting her head against her left hand, and she started staring towards a faraway wall with a pensive look in her face. "I just know that the dickhead won't let go of me until he is satisfied... with whatever he wants to do. He seems whimsy, so I'd say that if you catch his eye, you're in for some reeeal troublesome missions." She sighed once again. Today, it seemed that she was just filled with sighs. She should stop doing it, otherwise Aoi might get worried... would she, though? For a simple girl she had just met? She seemed like the soothing type, but it was hard to know. For a few silent seconds Aoi simply savored the oozing cream on her tiny spoon, slowly pulling out the ustensil from he mouth before swallowing the tasty delight. "Hmmm, he'll probably let you go after a mission or two. Besides! Look on the bright side, you'll probably live longer with kitty cat!" Kanata's mouth was made into a frown when she said that. Yakoul was powerful, yes, but often times, the powerful are the most targeted, and they often go for the lackeys first just to get 'em out of the way. She did not share her fatalistic thoughts though. Aoi smiled almost uncomfortably. She had a point, Yakoul was notorious for being, well, efficient and lethal. There was little to no chance Kanata would be in real danger if she'd simply follow its lead. "Hey, I've worked with kitty. It's better than most things out there, to be honest." Aoi added with a somewhat more serious tone as she dug the spoon into the already half melted cream of the sundae. "Oh! Can I ask you something?" She'd suddenly hop into her more enthusiastic expression again, quickly nabbing her pen to indicate she was going to document the response. This made this pretty exclusive, huh? "W-Wait, you are going to interview me or something? Like, right here?" Kanata panicked a bit. She was nowhere ready to being interviewed by her idol, Aoi. "A-And if not, why are you going to write down what I say? You'll probably have to censor a lot, since, you know, I tend to swear a lot when I get going." She turned her gaze down. She was really ashamed. It was one of those few times that Kanata actually felt flustered. She put her hands between her legs and started squeezing them with her thighs. "B-But sure... you can ask me anything." Despite what she said, the girl was really eager. Giggling again, Aoi played with the little switch on the top of her pen while the little teen panicked at the idea of being interviewed. "I'm going to interview you, but I'll keep it anonymous if you want~ Just between you and me." With that she'd point at Kanata with her sky-blue nail and then back at herself when designating both. Added to that would be a little wink. "So! I'll only ask you one question, and you can answer however you want, okay? Okay! My question is ... What did you feel, as a shinobi of the Confederation, when in the heat of today's tragic battle?" She'd ask with a professional demeanor, only biting the tip of her pen as a small tic while she prepared to take note of what Kanata would say. Aoi's question hit right on Kanata's least favorite subject of the day. "I... well, there was a lot of... feelings inside of me at that time." She cleared her throat after that. Aoi took note of every word Kanata uttered "A lot of feelings ..." "I felt sad because so many people were being killed. There was also some kind of urgency since I had to get my mom outta that big fuckin' mess. I also felt tense when I faced some or other red haired shinobi, just looking at his golden eyes made ever single hair in my body stand on end. Then with Yakoul... I felt safe but not safe safe. It seemed as capable to kill us as he was to help us if we said one wrong thing." As she went on, there was a clear knot in her throat. It felt so damn uncomfortable to talk about it. She wanted it all to go away, but there was no time for that right now. "Then I felt I was about to die when the guy with red hair left. I felt safe after hugging Mirai though... and... that's about it, I guess." She avoided the 'I felt worried for my brother', though. The uneasiness in Kanata's voice and general posture was more than flagrant to Aoi. Letting her finish, she quickly wrote off most of it before sliding her pen back over the notebook. "Hey." Aoi would whisper with a gentle and weak voice before reaching out the best she could, because she'd be pretty damn short, to set her hand on Kanata's shoulder as reassurance. "You did great, Kanata." Beaming at the tense teen, Aoi was indeed grateful to have at least documented some fresh feelings from someone out of that chaos. When she felt Aoi's hand on her shoulder, Kanata jumped a bit from the surprise. Afterwards, and hearing Aoi's words, though, her heart started beating faster and faster. "W-What the hell is this?!" Kanata shook her head, without saying anything yet. "Why are you getting so riled up after just THAT?! Get your head out of the gutter, me!" "T-Thanks a lot, Aoi-san." She was done with her sundae and she felt that her emotions would burst out any minute now. She promptly stood up and walked over to Aoi's side. "I, um, I... I'll see you later, I guess." Unsure of what to do, Kanata did the same as her brother did for her everytime he was going to be away. It was odd, but it was the only thing she could think about now. She leaned forward and planted a single kiss on Aoi's cheek. Aoi simply blinked, both at the sudden departure but also ... This?! There was no blushing, just complete surprise. After all, she was the seductress in conversations, not the other way around. What strange sensation. It wasn't until after she was done that she realised that what she had done. It was incredibly stupid, it was a simple reflex ingrained on her after years of living alongside homo Mikoto, but most importantly; It was incredibly gay. That sole thought made Kanata's face red as a tomato and she stormed out of the cafeteria, both hands covering her face. "I AM THE BIGGEST FUCKING IDIOT IN EXISTANCE!" She repeated to herself as she escaped. Lifting an eyebrow, Aoi didn't quite grasp this whole scene, like some action movie with the camera shaking everywhere, she just knew how it started and how it ended, nothing in between. Well she certainly was an interesting girl, quite different from the often too solitary konuichi or the typical bitch in those supposed 'high class' gatherings/parties. After a moment alone in her thoughts, Aoi smiled at the fact that she'd had managed to slip her card into Kanata's left pocket with the subtle efficiency of any good magician. The kiss on the cheek did make this quite simple, with all that confusion. Aoi would stick around a little more in the cafeteria to finish what she started and pay off the sundaes. Kanata managed to escape to her assigned dorm. It was shitty, yeah, but she at least had a bed. Before in missions with Mikoto (she'd avoid calling him homo for a while), she had to sleep on the floor so a bed was for the best. She threw herself on the bed that let out metallic sounds despite Kanata's small frame and just, kind of stared at the ceiling. Her heart calmed down after 10-20 minutes, and she felt she could go to sleep, finally. Then, a single piece of paper, or something, fell from her pocket. She picked it up and looked at it. Aoi's card. Her heart started racing again, probably to not let her sleep for the whole night. "DAMMIIIIIT!" She shouted, without worrying of any other shinobi she might wake up with her cries. (others posts from my characters should come in after j8cob answers)	I want a cool name for where I keep my characters too “Who might that handsome guy in the mirror be? Ah, it's just me.” Meet Amatsurahashi Mikoto. A young man standing at 1.79 meters who probably spends more time looking at himself in the mirror than actually fighting. His long red hair made into a ponytail is probably the one with the best care in the whole army, even among the women. His fair skin has so many layers of creams and other chemicals that some men think he'll explode if there's some fire near him. His blue eyes have never been seen in another state than their almost always perfect one in which Mikoto keeps them. There are some rumors going around that say his eyes can't actually be that pretty alone, saying that they MUST be using contact lenses. He is so picky with his food and training menu to keep his slim, yet strong build, that many come to take his advice on how to take better care of their own physique. Amatsurahashi Mikoto, the man who spends a lot of time trimming himself and is actually not gay. That is the man standing before you. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Amatsurahashi Mikoto 【Alias】 That one not-gay guy that seems gay AKA Metrosexual. 【Affiliation】 Red Sages. 【Age】 20 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Heterosexual. Might be willing to change in the future. 【Birthplace】 Kirigakure. The Village Hidden In The Mist. 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Have you ever met that one person that just seems to sing everything when he talks? That's the kind of person Mikoto is. A lot of people think he is annoying, but he just shows no signs of changing. Ever since he was a child he's had one rule with which he lives by. To never change himself even if others want to change him. Always remain true to the desires of his heart. He is that kind of whimsical guy. He loves art, music and just about anything that expresses the true desires of the heart. He spends a great deal of time in unnecessary and excessive grooming. He also seems to vastly prefer the company of men rather than the company of woman. These are just some of the reason as to why a lot of people think Mikoto is actually homosexual. Mikoto is only really picky when it comes to women, not to mention that he isn't popular with woman either because of how effeminate he seems at times. Several of his close friends actually know this, and still like to tease him about that. Having sparked several misunderstandings, Mikoto has made an habit of introducing himself with his sexuality in his introduction line. Despite his love for his beauty, Mikoto is neither an stranger to fight nor is he scared of them. He is not a ninja just for show. Mikoto's will to fight is just as much, if not even more, than other ninjas. He will never run away, nor will he ever admit he is outpowered. That's why he believes it is wrong for shinobi's to only be after money and not to follow their heart's desires. He does, however, protect his face a lot more than any other shinobi does. His reason to be one of the Red Sages is simple; "Doesn't freedom sound like a beautiful concept to you? I'd very much like to see what true freedom is like." 【History】 What can you expect from Mikoto's story? Yes, he was bullied as a kid. Yes, he was beaten up a lot as a kid. No, he was not mentally scarred or traumatised by this. Mikoto actually fought back. He's never been afraid of getting his hands dirty. Though he's always been a dilligent student, more than once has he been scolded by his teachers because of how many fights he got himself into. During elementary school, he had to fight his way through bullies and smart-asses who thought he was nothing more than a sissy. It wasn't until he started going to junior high school that he discovered a better way to deal with bullies instead of fighting them. Completely ignoring them. Why, there's nothing more infuriating than the sissy you are trying to piss off completely ignores your very existance. It ended up either with the guys giving up and moving on to their next victim or them trying to beat up Mikoto, which ended up badly for them. Again. By the time he entered high school, Mikoto had created a reputation for himself. Never again did he have to deal with idiots trying to piss him off. Sadly, it was... boring. Extremely so. How could he ever relieve this boredom? Already studying to be a ninja and a Chuunin, and the Hamajo Confederation didn't seem eager to start a war any time soon. Then, what could little old Mikoto do to relieve his thirst for fighting? The Red Sages was the only thing that came to his mind. 【Family ties】 The Amatsurahashi family. Harsh in their ninja training, lax in their concept of what a man should be. Why you ask? Mikoto's father died when he was 4 on the way to the hospital when Mikoto's sister was about to be born. So, Mikoto had to quickly grow up and become the man of the house and so, he had no time to have his lunch handed over to him by some guys who taught were better than him. Not to mention he had an example to set for his sister. Amatsurahashi Haruka \| Mother \| 42, Kirigakure, Reitred Shinobi Amatsurahashi Kanata \| Sister \| 16, Kirigakure, Shinobi, Chuunin 【Dreams and fears】 His dream is to see actual freedom. To be able to see what it truly means for a shinobi to be able to be free. He'd also like to learn how to play an instrument, ANY instrument. His deepest and darkest fear is for all that is beautiful to him, including his family, to be taken away from him all at once. To leave him at the mercy of a world where nothing can no longer make him feel alive. Basically, being alive but dead inside is his biggest fear. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Many describe Mikoto's fighting style as refined and entracing. They say it is like watching him dance instead of fighting. Still, Mikoto's taijutsu is deadly and precise. There is no wasted effort, no wasted moves. Everything is made to be a beautifully perfect fighting style for Mikoto. Rhythm and tempo are the bases for his taijutsu style. He always tries to imitate a song playing inside his head as he fights, trying to match the timings of his strikes and the timing to avoid and counter-attack. Thanks to his being knowledgeable about several types of music, it is easy for him to change gears in the blink of an eye. He tends to use bojutsu, a fighting style through the use of a staff, when he thinks taijutsu is no longer enough to defeat someone. He usually combines bojutsu with ninjutsu to make an even more lethal style. He is more of a physical fighter rather than using ninjutsu and genjutsu. His ninjutsu acts more as a support for his fighting style and he tries to avoid using genjutsu, mainly because it isn't his best subject. His ninjutsu focuses on the use of water as a high speed waterjet to cut through things. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Doesn't have one. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Water Release: High Speed Jet B rank techniques: Water Release: Water Beast Water Release: Hiding in Water Technique C rank techniques: Water Release: Water Gun Water Release: Water Whip Water Clone Technique D-E rank techniques: All basic Academy E ones. 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Water Release: High Speed Jet Rank: A Range: Short Range, can only be use in hand-to-hand combat. Description: The user releases a high speed stream of water from their finger tips and envelops both of their hands in a water jet that can cut through just about anything. This technique, however, is as harmful to the user as it is to their opponent, and can only be used once in a fight to avoid further damage to their hands and/or weapons. Depending of the Chakra output of the user, this move becomes more powerful and becomes able to cut through harder materials. How much the chakra is being used also determines how long this jutsu can last. At minimum output, the Jutsu can cut through wood easily and can last about an hour (6 posts) without damaging the user's skin. In a weapon, it can last for a complete hour (6 posts) before it starts eating away at the materials of the weapon. At medium output, the jutsu can cut through bone, rock and even iron. The user can mantain it for 15 (3 posts) minutes without major damage to their hands. In a weapon, it can last for 30 minutes (4 posts). At maximum output, the jutsu can cut through just about any kind of metal standing in its way, though it won't be able to cut through chakra enhanced weapons, diamonds or crystal release jutsus. In the user's hands, it can only last for a minute (1 post) before there is major damage and in a weapon it can last for 5 minutes (2 posts) before it destroys the weapon completely. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon Name: Sonatta Weapon, tool or object type: Staff Description: A large white and black staff that is about the same height as Mikoto himself. It is made out of wood and has two metal plates at both of its ends, so it can withstand Mikoto's High Speed Jet Jutsu. “Yeah, I am that guy's sister. No, I won't get you a date with him. Why? Because he doesn't freakin' like dudes!” Standing at a not even surprising 1.64 meters and a rather slim and flimsy frame, it is Amatsurahashi Kanata. Like her brother, she has fiery red hair and blue eyes, but neither of them are as well cared for as his. In fact, her brother likes to point out the split ends her hair might have. Her hair is long and usually kept in a pair of twintails that reach her waist. Her blue eyes are big and have been called cute several times, by relatives and her mother, mainly. Her fair skin does have some cream put into it but not the ungodly amounts her brother uses. Like other men, she fears she might catch fire if she imitates her brother. Her frame is slim but well trained, as expected of any shinobi. The problem lies in her chest, something she has a strong complex about and what often makes others confuse her for a boy (given how her brother is). A teenager who'd like to put as much attention on her appearance as her homo brother, Amatsurahashi Kanata. Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Amatsurahashi Kanata 【Alias】 Little Sister 【Affiliation】 Undecided 【Age】 16 【Sex】 Female 【Sexuality】 Straight 【Birthplace】 Kirigakure 【Bloodline】 Amatsurahashi 【Rank】 Chūnin Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Unlike her brother who has 'shit for brains', Kanata is a lot more normal than her egocentric and metrosexual brother, if a lot more tomboyish than your regular kunoichi. But let's be honest here, what screams femininity more than a girl in a tight suit jumping around and throwing sharp things at others? Foul-mouthed by nature, full of hormones thanks to her age and Kanata's short fuse make her an adorable pack of emotions, insults, bad words and sarcasm all in one. She's known for not holding anything back, and this has gotten her in a lot more of problems than she's ever wanted to have. Her tongue moves faster than her brain can catch up, hurling insults at people she shouldn't piss off. She depends a lot on her brother Mikoto to get her out of such situations. An idiot by birth not by choice, Kanata has found herself in more than one tight spot both in school and in the streets. She often comments on how life wouldn't be as exciting if she didn't get in as much problems as she does, though. Add to all of this the fact that she has several complexes about her body and life and it just makes her the perfect adolescent with attitude problems. She just needs to run away and the pack should be complete. Among her several complexes, she's got a complex about her chest and an inferiority complex towards her brother. Don't try to mention her height or call her a boy either. Overall, Kanata is a short-tempered idiot with a big mouth AND some ability as a ninja. At least she knows how to fight AND when she should just run for it instead of fighting. "Live to fight another day. Those idiots will never catch me anyway, not with mighty homo Mikoto watching my back." 【History】 Unlike her brother, Kanata was largely ignored in her school years, all the way from elementary school it was just a big whole of... nothing. Have you ever seen your graduation photo and noticed a guy that is there but you never actually saw? If not, that's what several people thought after getting their graduation photo and finally noticing Kanata. Everyone expected big things from Amatsurahashi Mikoto's sister, only to be let down by the extremely pragmatic and sarcastic Kanata. Her existence mostly went unnoticed until she finally became a Chuunin. Pairing up with her brother and going out in missions made them a deadly combo. Finally, people started noticing Kanata and she wasn't sure of whether this was a good or bad thing. Well, she never really did have a lack of friends, she just was in that small group that mostly went unnoticed by others. Later she determined that it was bad. Real bad. They all came to her with words like 'Oh, did Mikoto have a sister? Never knew.' or 'Wow, to think you could actually do something!'. What came after those comments was most definitely not pretty. Having gained a bad reputation this time around, people started to actually avoid her. Well, her fame was short lived, and it was good that it was. 【Family ties】 Kanata's father died before she was born, so she only has her older brother and mother to rely on. While she is fond of and loves the two of them, she does find them, Mikoto specially, annoying. Amatsurahashi Haruka \| Mother \| 42, Kirigakure, Retired Shinobi Amatsurahashi Mikoto \| Brother \| 20, Kirigakure, Shinobi, Part of the Red Sages, "Full time homo" 【Dreams and fears】 She dreams of one day surpassing her ever so perfect and beautiful brother, or at the very least shake off the feeling of inferiority she feels towards him. Her biggest fear is not being able to go to the next One Direction concert living in the shadow of her brother. Also to be noted, she is scared witless of Mikoto's imminent death if he keeps doing dangerous things. Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 Never to shine herself but to give others the opportunity to shine, Kanata's fighting style is a purely supportive one. She can indeed defend herself in hand to hand combat, yes, but her true talent comes out when she is fighting alongside someone else. Her specialty are ninjutsu and genjutsu used to support a more aggressive battle style like her brother's. She intends to stall, hinder and trip her opponents at every step they give. Even if they are about to hit their mark, she'll make sure that what they hit is nothing more but an illusion she's made. Cunning and brains, not muscles and... more muscles, are what make her a formidable fighter. She uses water release, but unlike her brother, she uses mist and barriers to hinder her opponents. Her taijutsu is the weakest part of her fighting style as a whole. She can easily be overpowered by any opponent with more experience in hand to hand combat or otherwise. Her taijutsu is focused on the use of her legs, since her arms are more like sticks. She uses a combination of muay thai and tae kwon do to keep opponents at bay while she uses her hands to prepare her next jutsu. Kanata also tends to use submission holds against opponents bigger than her, in order to keep them from moving and to give herself more time to cast her next jutsu. Thanks to her being bad at taijutsu, she carries even more kunais than the average shinobi. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Thank God I don't need to fill this longass form 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Water Release: Water Heavens Convergence B rank techniques: Water Release: Water Formation Pillar Water Release: Water Beast Illysionary Mist C rank techniques: Water Prison Technique Water Release: Water Gun Water Clone Technique Water Release: Enveloping Mist D-E rank techniques: Hidden In Mist Technique 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Water Release: Enveloping Mist Rank: C Range: Large, it covers an area of 30 meters around the user. Description: The user, Kanata, releases mist from the tip of her fingers that envelops a wide are around her. It does nothing more, nothing less. Once the mist is out of Kanata, it does not take any chakra for her to mantain it. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Kunais. Lots and lots of them. Weapon, tool or object type: Throwing Kunai Description: Simple kunais in ungodly quantities. Makes you wonder where the hell is she hiding so many of them. “Calm yourself. I mean you no harm. ... Your heartbeat is starting to calm down. Good.” An intimidating man standing at 1.80 meters and a man of nerves made out of steel, Kisaragi Anzai. He's got short and spiky black hair falling right over his face. He uses a headband at the top of his forehead to not let it rub against his face, since he is pretty sensitive. Anzai's skin is dark brown, making for a perfect example of the trademark Kumogakure ethnicity. He's got gray eyes, but he always keeps his eyes shut. Unlike many cliché anime characters, Anzai actually keeps his own eyes shut because he is blind. His physique is quite buff and muscular, something that affects his diet quite a lot since he needs to eat a lot more than your regular shinobi. Despite his physique and Kekkei Genkai, Anzai keeps always keeps a cane by his side. The Blind Assassin, Kisaragi Anzai. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Personnel files. Access only by security personnel with a C3 clearance. 【Full Name】 Kisaragi Anzai 【Alias】 The Blind Assassin, Anzu 【Affiliation】 Red Sages 【Age】 25 【Sex】 Male 【Sexuality】 Asexual/Bi-romantic (think I saw someone use the word hetero-romantic somewhere, so I'm borrowing the idea) 【Birthplace】 Kumogakure 【Bloodline】 Kisaragi 【Rank】 Jounin -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Psych. report. Medical secrecy applies. 【Personality】 Calm and stoic are the words that best define Anzai. He's lived his life having to take calm and well-thought steps due to his blindness. It gives you more time to think, in a way. Everything he does is well-thought and meditated, even his jokes, which tend to be overlooked because of his monotone tone of voice. Because of his legendary calmness and his habit of meditation, many often believe that Anzai is, in fact, sleeping. He has fallen asleep while meditating if we are being completely honest, but it is a rare occurrence indeed. Once, someone stepped over him while sleeping. Anzai is really prideful, despite his usual cool demeanor. Offering to help him go down the stairs or other friendly offers for help upset him greatly and, despite not losing his cool demeanor, you'll find yourself threatened by that same calm nature. In a nutshell, feeling pity for him can really work against you. "Even as I am blind, I can see far more than you." His mannerisms and calmness often lead others to believe that he is expressionless, or worse, emotionless. This is most certainly not true, but Anzai does manage to keep his emotions in check most of the time. This is because he understands and accepts all of his emotions, which has also made him able to tell a person's mood through the tone of their voice or what they are feeling through the beat of their heart. These two abilities, though, are rendered useless in battle as he cannot focus his hearing solely in his opponent, otherwise he'd feel he's leaving himself open. As with everything else, Anzai tends to keep calm and stoic even in the most heated of situations, making him both an intimidating and terrifying foe. 【History】 The long line of Katsuragi shinobi felt that its long tradition of warriors had come to an end when they discovered that Anzai, next in line to become the head of the small clan, was born blind. Not having sight, an almost indispensable tool in the trade of being a ninja. They thought all was lost were it not for what they noticed later. The boy could indeed see and his 'sight' could reach even further than their own. The Kekkei Genkai of the Kisaragi allows them to feel electric currents, but only when thrown in a jutsu, making it a highly defensive type of Kekkei Genkai that could only protect them against an specific type of jutsu. Anzai's blindness took it a step further. Anzai could actually sense the small electrical charges carried by electrons, and that permitted him to make an image inside of his head of what things would look like if he could see, and what made it better was the fact that his 'vision' covered a whole 360 around him. It was blurry at first, of course. Untrained and instinctive, the Kisaragi could not pass up on such an opportunity. Regardless of his shortcomings when he first started training, the Kisaragi finally were able to make an specially deadly and stoic shinobi out of Anzai, who could now see clearly after refining the use fo his Kekkei Genkai. Once he got clearance to become a Jounin, however, what followed were years full of frustration. Everyone looked down on him because of his blidness. They wouldn't allow him to participate in missions, and he would remain mediocre because the Confederation frowned upon physical demonstrations of power, at least between their own armies. The last straw was when his commander called him weak, and that he couldn't kill him even if he were sleeping. Making a live demonstration, Anzai went to the Red Sages dragging his commander's body by the neck. The commander was known to be a powerful but arrogant commander that had been hindering several of the operations of the Red Sages. He hoped that such a demonstration would be enough for the Red Sages to acknowledge his potential. Thankfully for them, they did. 【Family ties】 Anzai's family is filled with strong warriors, warriors that would risk their lives at the beck and call of their masters. So was the case with both of Anzai's parents, who died while he was still training. His only remaining (close) family is his grandfather. Kisaragi Youtsugi \| Grandfather \| 81, Kumogakure, Old fart too proud to retire from being a shinobi. 【Dreams and fears】 Anzai dreams of making his a powerful clan, one rivaling the Uchiha or the Hyuuga. Despite not seeing (pun intended) the allure of the intercourse, Anzai does wish to have an heir who inherits both his powerful Kekkei Genkai and blindness, horrible as it may sound. He thinks of himself as the next step towards greatness for his clan. An improvement over those before him and the true potential of their Kekkei Genkai. His biggest fear, though odd but logical considering his personality, is to be able to see with his eyes. He feels he'll lose his powerful KG if he sudeenly becomes able to see. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Combat reports. Gathered from evaluation reports after missions. 【Fighting style】 A dojutsu without eyes. So many have described Anzai's battle style. His genjutsu skills are non-existant, perhaps because he cannot see in the traditional way, but his lack of skill in genjutsu is compensated by his skill in ninjutsu and kenjutsu. He keeps his sword concealed inside the cane he always carries with himself. His fighting style is one that prioritizes domination over the battlefield. If people ambush him, then he'll keep everyone at a safe distance through the use of his ninjutsu, and then engage each of them with his sword and finish them quickly. He's been called the Blind Assassin because he always aims to end his fights quickly, before his opponent can catch up on the several weaknesses of his Kekkei Genkai. If he is overwhelmed or has spent too much in a fight, he tends to retire as quick as possible and fight another day, despite his prideful personality. He is dead set on not letting anyone know of the weaknesses of his abilities, and will surely kill anyone who catches on on them. 【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】 Bloodline limit name: Denkaku (電覚) Description: The Kisaragi KG allows the clansmen to sense strong currents of electricity, like those produced from a Lightning Release ninjutsu. Anzai's lack of sight, however, makes this ability extremely powerful, and allows him to sense even the small electrons that are around almost every atom, which allows him to make complete 360 images in a range of 10 meters around him. The KG also allows the Kisaragi to use an special type of ninjutsu because of the constant electric wave that surrounds them. Anzai's is neither stronger nor weaker than those before him. Strengths: Allows Anzai to make 360 images of the terrain he is in. Can dodge Lightning release ninjutsu easily thanks to being able to detect them from wherever they are coming. Due to the excited atoms of a hot body, Anzai can also sense Fire Release rather clearly and can sense even more clearly any individual with a high body temperature. Anzai can become a walking stungun by amplifying the electric wave going around him. If extremely concentrated and in only one individual, Anzai can predict their next attacks by seeing the electricity running through their muscles as they move. This, however, makes him blind to any other thing happening in his surroundings. Weaknesses: Being hit by Wind Release, the usual weakness of Lightning release, can either make his vision blurry or blind him completely, if the jutsu is strong enough(B jutsus and stronger). He cannot sense Ice Release or any body at Absolute Zero temperature. (Not necessarily a shinobi, could also be metal). Due to the lack of electrons in their atoms, Anzai can't sense gases either. 【Ninja techniques】 A rank techniques: Lightning Release: Depht Charge Lightning Release: Walking Stungun B rank techniques: Lightning Release: False Darkness Lightning Release: Lightning Trap C rank techniques: Lightning Release Wall Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder D-E rank techniques: None worth mentioning. 【Custom made techniques】 Jutsu name: Lightning Release: Walking Stungun Rank: A Range: Short Range Description: Using Lightning Release, Anzai supercharges his nervous system after amplifying the natural electric wave surrounding his body and reversing it inside, but unlike A's Lightning Chakra mode, Anzai does not enhance his physical capabilities. The electricity surrounding Anzai also becomes visible to any of his enemies as small lightning courses his arms, chest and legs. Touching Anzai while doing this will result in an extremely painful and stunning electric shock, that renders taijutsu useless against him. While this does not actually hurt Anzai, it does leave him paralyzed for a long while afterwards, so he does not use it that often. The longest he can keep this technique activated is for 5 posts. Anzai theorizes that if his whole body was sedated and his mind wasn't, he could use this technique to move. He hasn't had the opportunity to prove this theory, though, and the fact that he still needs to make the hand seals makes it... kind of pointless. Jutsu name: Lightning Blade: Heaven Piercing Lunge Rank: S Range: Short to Mid Range Description: Anzai thrusts his weapon forward and, much like like the Chidori Katana of Sasuke, creates a highly condensated flow of Lightning release chakra with a range of 10 meters. Though it does not chirp loudly like the Chidori Katana, there is indeed a low, cracking sound that warns of its arrival, not to mention that when it hits, it makes the same sound as a thunder striking the ground as all of the compacted energy dissipates after hitting its target. It is compact and quite small, and its range falls short to other jutsu, but it is a jutsu that can pierce through mostly anything, unless faced with a weapon with flowing Lightning Release chakra or Air Release chakra. Thanks to Anzai's detection and skill, he can make the attack change its course as he wants, though not as many times as he'd like. After moving it three times, the jutsu disappears. Though extremely lethal as it can pierce easily through someone's head or ribcage in an attempt to kill Anzai's enemies, it really depends a lot of where it hits. Jutsu name: Lightning Release: Lightning Spread Rank: C Range: Long Range Description: A variation of the Electromagnetic Murder jutsu. Putting both of his hands on the ground, Anzai releases lightning in a range of 20 meters to keep his opponents away. Jutsu name: Lightning Release Wall Rank: C Range: Short to Mid Range Description: Using Lightning Release, Anzai erects (( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)) a wall with a maximum range of 10 meters, that can be extended to 20 if he places seals to help him keep it up. The wall is made up of violent electric bolts, making it harmful for anyone trying to get past it, whether they want to enter it or exit it. It doesn't seem to affect Lightning Release users as much, though. The only way to dispel it is to either defeat Anzai or, if it is being used at mid range, to take off the seals previously placed by Anzai. 【Weaponry, tools and objects.】 Weapon, tool or object name: Silent Death Weapon, tool or object type: Sword Cane Description: A sword hidden inside a cane that would otherwise be used to aid his walking.
