Here's the actual event thread.
Below in spoiler tags are previous entries as an example. Many of these chracters will return if the members are here or if that character is important to the plot regardless.
Ahem okay, so further clarification on mechanics.
There is no EMS. To compensate MS is easier to activate and does not lead to blindness anymore but IS hefty in terms of stamina and chakra cost leading to hard limits in most shinobi.
Tailed beasts are all well cared for, and are treated as deities by their villages knowing that they prevent all out war for the most part. Each one has a guardian clan who functions as Jinchuuriki would have, except they are not linked to the beast and their chakra blends through daily building of their relationship with the beast.
Sharingan and Byakugan are not the only dojutsu and while dojutsu remain powerful they are balanced better with more consequences for abilities.
Fights are strategy based again, young shinobi are better trained and more versatile than OG Naruto but not broken, they fit the world around them that is more skillful than OG Naruto.
This world is a world where war could only erupt from deliberate but subtle actions over a period of time.
Most likely, there will be a sequel.

Everlong
Name -> Haru Ame
Gender -> Male
Current Height -> 5'0
Current Age -> 12
Hair Color -> Indigo
Eye Color -> Violet
Clothes -> Haru wears a grey lavender v-neck shirt with the insignia of his clan on his back, the insignia is based on the village insignia of a black cloud and rain, though for his clan the cloud is grey and the rain twists and distorts as it falls. He wears cream colored shorts and the standard grey opened toed sandals of his village.
Ability Score (VS other Genin only 1-5) ->
Taijutsu -> 1.5 *
Ninjutsu -> 3 *
Genjutsu -> 5 *
Strength -> 1 *
Stamina -> 1.5 *
Speed -> 2 *
Intelligence -> 4 *
Kekkai Genkai -> Amenkogan, the village hidden in the rains prized Doujutsu. Potent users of this doujutsu can use genjutsu that alters actual reality. However the greater the alteration, the higher the cost. Altering reality on a high level can permanently deactivate the doujutsu in the user or even kill them. Chakra costs are very high even when mastered but nontheless the effects are potent and effective. Even without the reality altering abilities, the doujutsu powers up standard genjutsu making it more difficult to notice and break free from, even for more experienced shinobi.
Clan -> Ame clan, the Ame clan are the founders of the Hidden Rain village and Haru's father, Hageshi Ame is the current leader. They are famed for their genjutsu skills primarily and certainly for their powerful doujutsu. Saisho Ame, an ancestor of Haru gave up his life to cast an eternal rain storm upon Amegakure that allows the Ame clan to use the rain to sense enemy forces that enter their perimeter. They are well respected by their village and feared by other lands.
Backstory ->
Academy Days (Haru age 8-12)
-----------------------
It was a typical rainy day in Amegakure, the grey skies cast only dim light into the sliding wooden doors of the dim training room. Haru stood across from his father who was half concealed in the deep shadow.
Again. Hageshi said curtly. His fathers violet eyes glowed in the darkness, they clouded over slightly as if someone had put a transparent grey film over them, Haru braced himself...
The darkness in the room stretched forward engulfing them both, and his fathers cloudy violet eyes blinked and were gone. The room became eerily silent, not even the eternal storm outside could be heard...
! Haru gasped as a pair of rotting hands raised up suddenly from the darkness and grasped his neck tightly and began to choke him!
While Haru had been calm moments before, he was fighting a powerful dread that come over him since the darkness had swallowed him and his father. He struggled to stay focused. His own violet eyes began to glow like his fathers and clouded over as well, and soon the hands faded into dust and a cloud floated into the darkness, it rained down on the black velvet and struck with a powerful blue lightning bolt that chased the darkness away. His father and the room came back in view.
Haru winced as his whole body seemed to seize up, he kneeled over in pain, gasping for air and his eyes returned to their normal, non glowing violet.
Good. His father said. You are starting to grasp the Amenkogan's basic usage and your genjutsu ability is improving rapidly. Today you start the academy. In your next training session I will not give in at only one counter. You must improve your chakra usage.
Haru gained his breath again and stood back up. Yes father.
Over the next 4 years Haru honed his doujutsu and genjutsu abilities to new levels, his father, exceedingly proud of his accomplishments expected a powerful successor worth of the Ame name.
Haru achieved excellent grades and excelled at mid to long range combat using primarily genjutsu and the villages signature lightning ninjutsu, though he was only average at it.
Soon it was time for his graduation exam. In Amegakure the exam pitted the top students against one another in a 1v1 battle. The young shinboi would fight until one dies or forfeits.
The battles took place in a field behind the academy where the rain beat against the judges, proctor, and students endlessly.
The proctor, a man with shaggy, jet black hair, grey eyes, and a long black cloak decorated with the villages insignia and with grey trim stepped forward. In a gruff voice he called out the next match.
Haru Ame vs Irito Tsubashi
Irito had spiky dark red hair and black eyes, Haru knew he specialized in Taijutsu with a passable ninjutsu ability.
They both stepped forward into the ring and they sized each other up as the Proctor raised his hand to begin the countdown to start.
Haru needed to keep his distance, if Irito managed to close the distance Haru would have no chance of victory, his vicious taijutsu and exceptional stamina would allow him to outlast and cripple Haru in seconds. Irito also had passable genjutsu skill enough to potentially recognize a weaker genjutsu and break free, however Haru hoped to conserve chakra and avoid using his kekkai genkai.
BEGIN! The proctor yelled.
Irito wasted no time at all using his great speed to dash forward, attempting to close the range with Haru immediately.
Haru quickly jumped back and quickly weaved the signs... Hitsuji, Ne, Mi!
His genjutsu struck! Irito stood in place completely still.
Haru dashed toward his opponent and began to weave more handsigns. Usagi, Saru, Mi! Lightning Release! Shock palm jutsu!
Haru's palm lit up with sparking, dancing electricity and he pierced right through Irito... but something was wrong...
As his hand hit Irito's chest it slipped through way too easily... the body turned to water and burst like a balloon.
.. Shit. Haru began to look around for Irito. He tried to stop himself from panicking and calmed his nerves with a deep breath. He could feel his presence.... ABOVE!
Haru quickly dashed backward as Irito smashed down onto the ground with his two fists cracking the earth where they hit!
The shockwave from Irito's attack made Haru stumble backward.
IT'S OVER! Yelled Irito as he wound his arm back in preparation for a powerful punch.
It couldn't be helped.
Amenkogan! Haru's violet eyes glowed brightly through the gloom and then clouded over slightly.
Kekkai Genkai, Forsaken Land!
Irito stopped in his tracks... suddenly he was in a barren wasteland with a powerful thunderstorm raging. Haru and the crowd were completely gone. He knew he was in a genjutsu but... suddenly a powerful dread arose in him he quickly began to lose his cool.
From the ground sprung thousands of rotting hands! They grasped at Irito and he was completely overcome with fear, the hands grasped and tore at his flesh.
Back in the reality Haru was on the ground but unharmed, Irito however had fallen to the floor and began rolling around screaming as if he was being stabbed repeatedly.
The proctor stepped in and wove the Uma handsign. RELEASE!
Irito was released from the genjutsu.
Haru Ame is the victor and is awarded the rank of Genin!
Haru's father walked calmy down from the stands and embraced Haru tightly. I'm so proud of you Haru, you honor the village and the Ame clan.
Haru beamed at his father. This is only the beginning father. He said assuringly.
I am certain of that my son. Hageshi replied. Come, your mother has been preparing a celebration for your induction into the shinobi ranks and we must prepare for the village ceremony later.
Haru nodded and left with his father.

Kekkai Genkai -> Fire Storm release, an ability to mix Fire and Wind element jutsu to create destructive, wide range, powerful fire storms. This powerful kekkai genkai is considered superior to the Uchiha's special fire release and the two clans are bitter rivals. Most Kaze clan members are born with this ability and even as low level Shinobi can do low rank versions of the clan jutsu that are destructive in spite of their low rank. The true sign of a talented young Kaze shinobi is the ability to control the jutsu and keep its damage on the appropriate targets.
Clan -> The Kaze clan are fierce rivals with the Uchiha, while the Uchiha have their sharingan, the Kaze have their superior Fire Storm release. The Kaze came after the Uchiha clan making the Uchiha feel even more uncomfortable that one of their unique talents was bested. The Kaze clan additionally is known for producing shinobi with superb chakra reserves allowing them to make obscenely powerful jutsu with enough range to encase an entire village at full mastery. Furthermore both clans tend to produce well rounded shinobi otherwise which furthers the competition between the two clans.
Backstory -> Academy Days (Age 8-12)
It was going to be a dull day, Kaen was starting his first day at the academy. In a months time he would also begin undergoing the clans ceremonial training program for mastery of his clans signature Fire Storm release. At the current moment Kaen could produce small flames that were an inconvenience but didn't burn very long, though he could amplify the area they burned with a small burst of wind. Still he could hardly call it ninjutsu at this time.
He entered through the academies double doors and absent mindedly headed through the hallways.
A older Chuunin was ushering the first year students into their correct classes, Kaen found the one outside his class and went in.
The instructor was still not present as he sat down at the desk of his choice.
As he settled into his seat a kunai suddenly whizzed past his ear.
Kaen stood up quickly and turned around... of course...
Uchiha. Kaen greeted cooly as he picked up the kunai and tossed it casually and caught it again.
Kaze. The Uchiha boy grinned wide. I'm surprised you made it into the academy with your general ability and lack of effort. The boy teased.
Some of us don't have to apply effort to pass things. Kaen grinned as he replied calmly.
The Uchiha boys face turned to a grimace.
Kaen had hit the boys button and he knew it, ever since childhood Awadatsu Uchiha had hated Kaen for his effortless talent. While the Uchiha boy was certainly skilled, he worked tirelessly everyday for it and struggled to keep up with his other clan members.
Awadatsu wasted no more time, he lunged forward after Kaen...
Suddenly a puff of smoke came between them and there stood the instructor, firmly gripping Awadatsu in one hand and holding the other hand out toward Kaen in order to prevent the fight.
Now, now boys. There'll be plenty of time to beat each other up during the school year. Why don't we sit down and start with the basics first?
And that first day in the academy seemed to repeat itself as Awadatsu constantly picked fights with Kaen. Unlike his other clan members, Kaen felt no rivalry with the Uchiha, he was entirely focused on himself and his own progress. This only angered Awadatsu more.
After four years of more or less the same nonsense it was the graduation exam. Konoha's exam consisted of each student showing off their highest rank jutsu in various categories of jutsu. Only the most proficient students would become genin.
Uchiha Awadatsu. A kindly looking chuunin called Awadatsu forward.
This is the Ninjutsu portion of the test and the last proficiency test you must pass, please show us your best jutsu.
Awadatsu looked extremely nervous but nonetheless he began to weave his handsigns, Mi, Hitsuji, Saru, I, Uma, Tora, Fire Style! Fireball Jutsu!
Awadatsu released a small but potent fireball that lit up the room.
The three proctors applauded him and praised his ability, giving him a score of 8. Well done Uchiha, next, Kaze, Kaen.
With a self satisfied grin Awadatsu passed by Kaen and sat down in a chair smugly. Kaen as usual couldn't have cared less about his attempts at provocation.
Alright, Kaen, show us your best jutsu.
Kaen wove his handsigns, Ushi, Tori, Uma, Ne, Tora, Kekkei Genkai, Fire Storm Style! Controlled Flame devastation! A small tornado of flame whipped up in the middle of the room and Kaen concentrated fiercely to keep it in control. It blew the papers in the classroom all over the place but lit nothing on fire.
The proctors jaws were hanging. Extremely Impressive Kaze! 10/10 score! You pass the exam! The proctors applauded and cheered.
Finally done with the exam Kaen began to head home but he could sense he was being followed...
Uchiha. What do you want? Kaen called out to the deserted street he was now walking.
Awadatsu appeared from a fence camouflage. You think your jutsu are so great, all my life all you've done is go around showboating constantly, it's time I put you in your place! Sharingan! Awadatsu activated a one tomoe Sharingan and rushed toward Kaen.
Kaen, taken aback had little time to prepare and was barely able to block a fierce combo from Awadatsu.
What's wrong Kaen?!? Not such hot stuff when you're in a real battle huh?
Kaen rushed forward and let loose a combo of kicks and punches as well... but Awadatsu was able to block every blow. Awadatsu countered with a round house kick that sent Kaen flying along with several kunai thrown immediately after.
Kaen wasn't finished! He quickly withdrew his own Kunai from his holster and blocked each and every Kunai.
Awadatsu however was no longer in front of him.
Suddenly he felt a burst of wind behind him.
Shit! Before Kaen could react Awadatsu had kicked him from behind and he flew the other direction.
(He's fast... and his Sharingan prevents me from going toe to toe with him using taijutsu, I need to produce a large enough non lethal jutsu to cancel his speed... but I can't use a regular jutsu or he may be able to copy it. Kaen thought to himself.. I'll have to use THAT jutsu.)
Awadatsu has stopped his onslaught to confidently admire his handiwork. I always knew you weren't a match for me. He mocked.
Kaen didn't even bother to make a retort, he simply wove his handsigns.
Tori, Ushi, Uma, Usagi, Tora! Kekkei Genkai, Firestorm Style! Human Firestorm!
Kaen's body was completely engulfed in wind that was lit aflame, with ridiculous speed he dashed toward Awadatsu!
Awadatsu simply didn't have the speed to counter he was hit full force with the jutsu and was lit aflame briefly, with some difficult Kaen managed to control the jutsu to only burn him lightly and leave only minor lacerations instead of deep slashes.
Awadatsu fell flat on his ass, his skin red and slightly burnt from the jutsu.
Kaen's jutsu stopped and he stood standing above Awadatsu.
Awadatsu inched backward still on the ground, without saying anything he got up with some difficulty, and ran off.
Kaen knew this would not be the end of his annoyances from Awadatsu but he worried not and instead headed home to tell his parents he had passed the exam.

Clan -> The Shi clan is an ancient clan from the Land of the Wind and founders of the hidden sand though they do not run the village nor do they reside in it. The clan is secret group of assassins that only few shinobi know of. Their expert shinobi kill for high prices and that money is party shoveled back into the Village hidden in the Sand. Their preferred weapon if they must fight face to face is a scythe that has a moddable handle size, from making it like a small dagger to a full size scythe.
The other primary charaterstic of a Shi clan member is their proficiency with Wind, Earth, and Yin release. Any member who cannot master these elements by the age of 8 is killed as they know too much about the clan.
Backstory -> Age 16, Job from the Kazekage
Two shinobi from the land of water were heading away from the Village hidden in the Sand, disguised perfectly with transformation as sand shinobi.
Certain they were well out of earshot, being in the middle of the desert and sensing no presence they decided to discuss their findings.
What do you think Mizu? Said the shinobi running on the left.
Their security shouldn't be a problem to bypass, their forces are well trained but not good enough if we use the mist villages best forces. All in all, out of all the potential threats from the major villages, this particular village probably poses a mid level threat.
Agreed. The other shinobi replied. Let's split up now and return to the intelligence squad.
Ye-
The shinobi's sentence was cut short, something was rising out of the sand in front of him, human shaped, and before he could react it had reached out toward his neck and snapped it in an instant.
MIZU! The other shinobi yelled! This shinobi withdrew a kunai and tossed it at the the human shaped sand, the sand simply crumbled away in the wind.
The shinobi noticed a black shadow race under him and turned around just in time.
From the shadow a young boy was rising, their legs fused into one and still attached to the deep black shadow but their upper body completely normal, the boy had a small scythe raised and ready to attack but the shinobi was able to counter the attack and take a step back.
Impressive. The boy said as his legs rose from the shadow and he assumed a battle stance.
Who are you? A sand shinobi? Asked the man.
Shin extended his scythe with a flick and changed his battle stance appropriately. That information isn't relevant to the dead.
Tch! The other shinobi began to weave hand signs very quickly. Shin caught a glimpse of Inu and knew a water jutsu was coming. He dodged out of the way as a several streams of water swirled around him.
You're able to summon water from mere chakra, you must be a fairly skilled jounin in your village. Shin said simply.
The man said nothing but began weaving signs for another jutsu, this time Shin was ready with his own.
Hitsuji, Ushi, Saru, Mi! Earth Style! Earth Wall!
The man's next jutsu crashed uselessly against Shin's earth wall. The man shot a kunai with an explosive tag at the earth wall and the wall blew up, as he figured the boy was not behind it.
The man turned around behind him, there was nothing... the boy must be below!
The man quickly weaved some handsigns and made a solid mass of water that he stood on. This would surely ruin the sand if the boy tried to attack him like he did Mizu... but the attack never came?
Suddenly the man saw a strange shadow above him... It was too late.
The man felt Shin's wind jutsu slash at him various times, eviscerating him and spraying his blood and organs across the sands.
Shin landed casually on the sand and walked toward the splattered mess that had once been a man. He noticed a scroll that had been shredded by the attack.
Ah... Shin reached down and grabbed the scroll and weaved one handed handsigns. Tori, Ushi, Hitsuji, Wind Style! Slicing wind jutsu!
The scroll was torn up into pieces as small as saw dust and was scattered to the wind.
Mission complete... Shin said to himself as he melted into a shadow and raced along the sands back toward the village.
Within a few hours he had raced into the Kazekage's chambers and rose from his shadow.
Ah... Shin did you intercept the enemy shinobi?
Shin bowed, yes Lord Kazekage, I intercepted and killed the infiltrating Water shinobi and destroyed the intel they had collected of our forces.
Curious... their village is getting sloppy lately in their clandestine activities, I wonder if their more skilled forces are occupied with something...
If I may my lord... A man stepped forth from the shadows beside the Kazekage's throne, the man was tall, slender, with silver hair and piercing ice blue eyes... he smiled at Shin but the smile only sent a chill down Shin's spine. Who was this man?
If their best forces are potentially away would it not be an opportune time to send some of ours to gather intel of our own? The man suggested.
Hm. Yes I will call in some of the higher ranking Shi clan, you may go Shin.
... Yes lord Kazekage. Shin bowed as he walked out of the throne room, feeling the blue eyed mans gaze follow him all the way out.

Kekkai Genkai -> Thunderstorm Release, a Kekkai Genkai that allows the user to combine wind, water, and lightning elements to summon storms, such as tornadoes or with great chakra mastery hurricanes, gives the user the ability to control lightning in natural storms as well with little chakra use and gives even novice Shinobi the natural ability to summon water from chakra alone, though proficiency determines the amount and only the best users can make truly devastating jutsu with it.
Clan -> The Arashi clan is an old clan of Amegakure, though not as old as the Ame clan. They produce the finest front line soldiers and their members tend to be fit, durable, and well rounded warriors. The strongest skill of the clan is their ninjutsu ability the clan leaders can summon hurricanes, tsunamis, and vicious lightning storms and thanks to the Ame clans permanent storm can use their Kekkai Genkai with less chakra consumption within the village, making their villages defense among the most powerful in all of the Shinobi world.
Backstory -> Academy Days (Age 8-12)
A silver haired boy stood outside in the pouring rain in the courtyard of a beautiful manor. The fish in the koi ponds surrounding the courtyards garden swam around anxiously as if sensing the boys own emotions.
The boy was holding out his hand and in it was a sphere of water.
Okay now... Torai tried to weave the one handed handsigns as his father had showed him Tori, Saru, Hitsuji... The sphere of water in his hand began to spread out.
Good job Torai. Said a woman standing opposite him, her long flowing hair also a gleaming silver, she was dressed in a long deep purple robe with grey trim. Now, try to add lightning nature to it as well.
Torai was struggling to keep the water and wind element chakra flowing but tried his best to focus on it while adding lightning element, he waved more single handed handsings.
Usagi, Saru, Uma, Mi!
Lightning crackled across the small tendrils of water and the entire jutsu suddenly increased in size and danced wildly for a moment in front of Toria before it vanished.
Well done! The woman praised. We will learn to maintain it next and then we will shape transformation as well.
The training continued for the rest of the day, the next day would be his first at the academy.
He arose early the next day, and went through his morning routine before entering the kitchen, there the silver haired lady put a plate of breakfast in front of him.
Thank you mother. Torai said as she nodded, smiled, and went to make breakfast for his father as well.
His father, a black haired man with amber eyes, well built, strong jawed, and with a scar across the left side of his face stopping just beneath his eye spoke.
Torai, I expect you to have mastered all up to the clans C rank jutsu with and without using the Amegakure storms to your advantage by the time you finish the academy.
It will be done father. Torai replied as he finished his breakfast.
Torai finished his breakfast and headed to his first day at the academy, walking through the high rise sky scrapers of the village. The academy was a somewhat shorter sky scraper than the rest, he entered through and found his way through to his class.
As he entered he spotted Haru, the Ame and Arashi clans had been friends since the Arashi clan had been formed. He sat down next to Haru and greeted him.
Good morning, Haru replied as he set out his things in preparation for class.
How goes your clans training? Torai asked Haru.
It's fine, though the Amenkogan eats up a lot of chakra, I try to rely on regular genjutsu most of the time while only using it to amplify them. Haru replied.
Heh, you think that's tough? Try to add three natures and master shape transformation before the rank of Genin and get back to me. Torai smirked.
Haru chuckled a bit, I'm fine thanks, I'll stick with my workload.
The teacher appeared and class began, the classes went relatively smooth over the next 4 years, Torai made pretty decent grades, usually just under Haru in fact. By age 12 he managed to master everything his father had asked and was able to claim his birth right of using the Storm Release, albeit only at the level one would expect of a genin.
It was exam day and Torai had just witnessed Haru pass the exam.
Hm... his Taijutsu is still exceedingly poor and his body somewhat frail, if he doesn't work on that then smarter close range shinobi will be able to run circles around him.
The proctor spoke. Next battle! Arashi, Torai vs Tsasame, Hiru.
Hiru, a student with dirty blonde hair and hazel eyes stepped into the battle ground along with Torai.
Hm... Hiru is a fairly well balanced shinobi with superior speed, taijutsu and ninjutsu ability, this could be a close one. Additionally he uses a claymore in battle when he needs a little more brute force.
The proctor raised his hand. BEGIN! He yelled.
Hiru and Torai wasted no time with games, they immediately dashed toward each other and clashed with their taijutsu.
Hiru punched twice, went for a side kick, Torai ducked and weaved past the punches and blocked the kick with his elbow.
Hiru lunged forward with a low kick aimed at Torai's knee but Torai dashed backwards and Hiru's foot simply smashed into the earth, spraying mud everywhere.
He's fast! Torai thought to himself.
Hiru dashed forward with great speed and let loose a much faster flurry of hits, Torai managed to block a few but ultimately took a punch to the jaw and a roundhouse kick so fast and powerful that you could hear Hiru tear through the wind as twirled and smashed his leg into Torai who flew backward.
Torai was given no reprieve, Hiru had withdrawn his claymore and was rushing toward Torai.
! Torai quickly withdrew his long sword just in time to block a powerful downward slash from Hiru.
Nngh! Torai struggled as Hiru put pressure against his blade. It wasn't long before one of Torai's knees buckled and he was in a disadvantageous position right under Hiru's blade, the only thing between it and Torai his own longsword.
Torai quickly weaved some singlehanded hand signs, Usagi, Saru, Mi, Lightning Style! Shocking blade! Lightning danced around Torai's blade and he sent it straight through Hiru's claymore.
Hiru dropped the claymore to avoid the electric shock and dashed backward as Torai went on the offensive with his own longsword.
Hiru was still too fast and was able to dodge his slashes and kick Torai's blade out of his hand.
The boys stood apart from another catching their breath.
I'm astounded at your speed Hiru, it seems you're becoming a skilled shinobi. Torai stated.
Can't let all the big name clans take all the glory forever now can we? Hiru smirked as he resumed a battle stance.
We'll see. Torai responsed.
Hiru began to weave handsigns... his handsigns too were extremely fast!
Torai tried to counter weave but Hiru's were simply too fast.
Lightning Style! Striking Death Jutsu! Hiru yelled
Torai backflipped repeatedly as several bolts of lightning flew down from the sky, while backflipping he used a single hand to begin weaving handsigns.
Usagi, Tori, Saru, Mi! Kekkai Genkai! Storm Release! 1000 droplets, electric prison jutsu!
Before Hiru could move ALL of the rain began to swirl around him and then became charged with electricity.
Before the Jutsu could finish, it was dispelled and exploded instead into many Sakura petals. It was Hageshi, he had spared the losing student. He stepped forward from the stands.
The battle is over, Torai is the victor, had the jutsu been allowed to finish, Hiru would have been dead.
Hageshi helped Hiru up and they began a conversation on how he could improve.
Torai picked up his long sword and sheathed it and picked up the claymore as well.
He walked over and interrupted the conversation and handed Hiru his claymore back, he took it. There were no hard feelings in the Shinobi world, death was a regular part of their existence as was competition. Hageshi congratulated Torai and Torai went home with his parents who came down from the stands to congratulate him as well. He had become an official genin of Amegakure.

Clan -> The Seishin clan are the keepers and caretakers of the Nine Tailed Fox, their job is to make sure it is fit and happy so that if the worst were to happen it could defend the village. They are a clan as old as Konoha. The head of the family interacts directly with Kurama, and develops a deep bond of trust and kinship, as a tradition, Kurama has offered to share his chakra with the heads of the Seishin household and allow a small portion of it to become a permanent part of their own chakra pool. This happens to each successor of the head before they assume the position. Once they assume the head position they are no longer sent out on missions and instead stay in the village. As a result of this relationship several members of the family have been born with crimson hair and whisker marks as the generations have passed.
Backstory -> Academy Days (Age 8-12)
It was gloriously bright sunny day in Konoha, wind blew through the happy bright happy green leaves of the threes making a pleasant sound as their leaves danced both on their branches and in the wind. The sound of warm crackling fire could be heard from a small pit in the ground, the pit was shaped in the leaf symbol and behind it sat the great tailed guardian of Konoha, Kurama the nine tailed fox.
Sit, Jonetsu.
Jonetsu sat cross legged in front of Kurama.
This boy is to be your successor Gekido? Kurama asked in his deep growl of a voice.
Yes this is the one. He will recite the ceremonial bonding now. Gekido explained.
Kurama started at the boy waiting.
Jonetsu was quite nervous being in the presence of such sheer power but this was his duty and his future.
I offer my life, my kinship, my strength, and my chakra to you Guardian of the leaf, I promise to be your defender and serve you until the next successor is born and ready to take my mantle.
Jonetsu made a handsign, Hitsuji! He channeled some of his chakra outward, the Nine Tailed Fox withdrew this chakra and absorbed it into his own.
Very well Jonetsu. I accept your future ascendance as my servant. Kurama stated. A visible red chakra flowed freely from Kurama swirling in the air like tendrils before it flew rapidly toward Jonetsu.
This chakra is a symbol and reminder of our contract, our power is now connected. Kurama added.
Jonetsu felt the extremely powerful chakra flow into his body and meld with his own. Jonetsu stood and bowed deeply.
His father Gekido stepped forward and put a hand on his shoulder and offered a kindly smile. It's time, don't be late for your first day at the academy.
Jonetsu nodded and and left the shrine behind.
Konoha was lively at this early morning hour, the villagers bustled around energetically greeting him with good morning, Jonetsu returned their greetings and smiled as he made his way to the academy.
He was absent mindedly thinking of his new chakra and his future duties when he accidentally bumped into someone, he fell onto the ground from the force.
As he looked up to see who had bumped into... Ah... Lord Hokage!
It was Jiyu Uchiha, the current hokage of the leaf, like most Uchiha his hair was jet black as were his eyes.
Jiyu smiled and offered his hand to Jonetsu who took it as Jiyu helped him up.
Someone's lost in thought today, perhaps about their first day at the academy? Jiyu chuckled.
Ah... no sir, I was thinking about my future duties... Jonetsu shuffled his feet, somewhat embarassed at having bumped into the Hokage.
He felt Jiyu's hand ruffle his hair, Jiyu beamed at him. Hey now, don't worry about that too much, you're still young! You're a student the same as the rest, so just focus on being the best shinobi you can be for now, along with your fellow leaf shinobi.
Jonetsu smiled. Ah... Yes Lord Hokage, thank you. Jonetsu rushed off to class leaving the Hokage to wave at him and then continue his walk to the Hokage office.
Jonetsu made it to the academy and walked through its halls to his classroom.
The teacher wasn't present yet but Jonetsu chose a seat and sat down regardless. On the other side of the classroom he could see Kaen, and Awadatsu Uchiha...
Awadatsu had thrown a kunai that whizzed right by Kaen's head.
Jonetsu shook his head, quietly thinking to himself what a fool Awadatsu was, if only he could be more like Lord Hokage.
The teacher appeared in a puff of smoke to stop the fight.
The teacher had spiky blonde hair and crystal blue eyes. After ending the fight he walked to the front of the room.
Alright... with that over class I'm your instructor, the name's Yin Mikadzuki. The instructor explained.
The classes continued...
Jonetsu passed his classes fairly with a small amount of effort, making fairly decent grades on part with most of the class.
The day of the graduation exam had come.
Jonetsu had just witnessed Awadatsu and Kaen's powerful jutsu.
Seishin, Jonetsu, the proctors called.
Jonetsu walked forward.
As was said before, show us your best Ninjutsu.
Jonetsu weaved his signs, Hitsuji, Tatsu, Ushi, Tori! Wind Style! Baby Dragon Jutsu!
Jonetsu's chakra, visible and red appeared as a small dragon which flew gently around the room in a controlled manner messing up a few papers, Jonetsu made sure to control the power as to not destroy the room... alas this task was too difficult, even after 4 years the kurama chakra within was still a little tough to control, the dragon grew bigger and bigger and flew back toward the proctors blowing their papers all over the place and singing their eyebrows off...
Hm... Impressive show... powerful but the chakra control needs work...
Ah... sorry, sorry! Jonetsu apologized profusely.
Well nonetheless it was certainly a strong Jutsu and I've seen you're able to keep control of your chakra at least 99% of the time, I'd give it a 7/10 overall, you pass.
Jonetsu was overjoyed but also embarassed he apologized over and over as they gave him his genin headband, the proctor assuring him much worse had happened to him over his years as a proctor.
After a ton of apologies, Jonetsu left for home to tell his father the good news.

Backstory (Age 6-12) ->
Here... Hanabira... eat... His frail mother, skin and bone, passed a bit of bread to Hanabira, who thanked her and ate it.
His mother mournfully looked out the window, the dim grey light lit up her green eyes, punctuated only by the shadow of falling rain which would turn to snow soon.
After Hanabira finished his bread he looked up at his mother. Where is father? I haven't seen him since yesterday.
His mother turned to look at him, a smile spread across her face. He's working Hanabira, he'll be home soon, I promise.
There was something off about her smile but Hanabira trusted his mother.
Eventually she got up, her body shaking... and she stumbled slowly to her bedroom, shut the door and went to sleep.
Hanabira followed her example, blew out the candles and went to bed as well.
He awoke the next day to a snowy morning... Oh wow! He exclaimed as he dashed out the door! He knew better than to step in the snow barefoot but he loved to watch it fall. As the excitement filled his chest he called for his parents... No answer. He called again...
Only eerie silence greeted him.
Mother?... He stepped toward her bedroom. Father? He called as he continued... Surely he would open the door... and his parents would chastise him for leaving the front door open in the cold... right?
He opened the door... His mother was curled up in bed... but next to her.... something horrible, something gray, its hair matted, the stench of it horrible. Hanabira stumbled back as he let out a loud scream. Neither the monster nor his mother moved however... after a moment of gathering his courage he got up and held his nose as he approached the bed....
He put his hands on his mothers cheek... they were wet... had she been crying? Her skin was still somewhat warm but as he shook her and called for her she did not open her eyes or make any movement. Hanabira looked at the monster she had cuddled with and... it was wearing his fathers necklace, a simple black cord necklace with a small, polished blue stone attached. The monster... was his father... the realization hit him that his parents had died...
He sat there, how long he didn't know trying to process what happened. Eventually his body seemed to stand up and carry him out into the snow automatically... he wandered and wandered... his parents did not live near civilization and he didn't know where the closest place was.
After some time he came across other people but they were just as poor as he was and their eyes had that same look of hopelessness in them.
This was his new life. For a whole year of his life he ate from the trashes in the small, equally poor towns that were spread around his parents house and at night he would sleep under a bridge, not wanting to return to his parents house where their corpses lay.
One day... while eating a moldy loaf of bread picked from a trash can, a female shinobi passed near him, her hair was a dull blue, about shoulder length, she was fit with clear tone to her body from her line of work and she carried with her a katana in a blue sheath with red rain drops and ripples, presumably to represent blood dripping into water. He asked the woman... please can you spare some food or money?
The woman stopped and turned to him, revealing crimson eyes.
Nothing is free in this world boy. What will you offer me? She said with a stern gaze.
Hanabira glanced around... he noticed a bandage wrapped around her hand that was stained deep red with blood. Hanabira's mother... though not a shinobi had come from a family of shinobi and she had taught him how harness his chakra and some jutsu that could heal wounds, perhaps he could be of use? Though his mothers jutsu were only good enough to heal scrapes.
Hanabira pointed to her hand and he asked the woman to show him the wound.
The woman, clearly amused did so.
Hanabira took two of his hands over the fresh bleeding wound and he began to apply his chakra to closing it. Eventually he closed the entire wound and the bleeding was completely gone. He looked up at the woman and smiled.
The woman was in complete shock. This child... she whispered in disbelief.
What is your name boy? She demanded.
I am Hanabira. He responded.
I am called Ketsueki. The woman said in turn. Rather than stay here begging for bread, why not come work for me boy? Your medical jutsu is leagues above what even many Jonin can produce. Come with me, be my doctor and I will provide for all of your needs. She offered her hand to Hanabira.
What did he have to lose thought Hanabira? Perhaps this was fate, perhaps he had found what he should do with his life. He took the woman's hand... and they left for the Village Hidden in the Mist.
Hanabira was trained by the woman in what she could but Hanabira proved to be naturally talented at medical ninjutsu and came into his own with little instruction, while Ketsueki tried to teach him other forms of ninjutsu or combat however he failed but he was incredibly sharp, naturally fast, and his medical ninjutsu prowess was stupendous.
The land of water is poor Hanabira. The other lands made it so with their larger share of famous clans and their constant use of our land as a battle ground. Lord Mizukage will soon turn the tables on them. Our uneasy peace will break and Kirigakure will achieve the respect and resources it deserves at long last.
She bent down and put her hands on Hanabira's cheeks, her crimson eyes, full of fervor bored into his calm green ones, and you will be by my side as we take our rightful place in the shinobi world.
Hanabira nodded and smiled, the touch of Ketsueki, it was as close to the touch of his mother as he could remember. This woman, he would protect her no matter what, she was his new family.
Years passed and Hanabira, now 12 had begun to undertake the plans necessary to subjugate the larger shinobi villages, they had made allies with other smaller nations that had been pushed around... and soon these plans would come to a head and they would show their full might to the arrogant and complacent large countries.

Clan -> None
Backstory -> (Setup)
Kinzoku grew up a shinobi of Kumogakure, his taijutsu and ninjutsu were always supreme and he graduated early due to his prowess..
During his academy days he developed the Drunken Fist technique from watching the drunken village men stumble out of the tavern. This suited his personality, or at least the personality the village thought he had.
After feeling he could gain no more progress from the village, he decided to test his abilities against the first raikage even though he was a mere boy of 10. He used his drunken fist to humiliate the raikage and then used his steel release to turn the raikages lightning jutsu against him, killing him and becoming an S-rank criminal. From there he left and continued to kill whenever he found an opponent who challenged him or who he felt worthy of witnessing his abilities.
(Modern day)
Kinzoku gulped down his 6th glass of whiskey at the out of the way bar just outside the land of fire. Heeeeey... pour me another one barkeep.
The barkeep put his hands on the counter. C'mon now you've had enough.
Kinzoku stood up suddenly, his robe whipping powerfully from the speed of his movement. The entire bars atmosphere changed to thick tension..
Kinzoku merely shrugged his shoulders Awwwww c'mon! Don't be a schquare! He slurred drunkenly!
The tension died immediately, the barkeep having regained his courage called his security staff.
Awwwww man, what a dra- BURP- .. oof... big one... drag. Kinzoku finished.
As the security tried to grab him, he swayed drunkenly on the spot and the security guy missed.
The hell? Stay still. The security guard went to grab him again.
Kinzoku slumped onto a bar stool once again dodging the man.
Enough of this! The securit guard, angry, unsheathed a kunai and threw it right at Kinzoku's head.
Kinzoku fell backward off the stool and the kunai merely hit the wooden leg of the stool as Kinzoku landed on his ass
Owwwowowo... damn gonna feel that one.... YAAAAAAAAAAAWWWN in the.... in the... -snore- Kinzoku fell right asleep.
The security guard breathed a sigh of relief as he went to grab Kinzoku.
Kinzoku merely rolled in his sleep completely dodging every attempt to be grabbed.
DAMNIT WHY WON'T YOU TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY?!? The guard yelled.
Kinzoku opened his eyes suddenly.
The security guard stood frozen, this look was different, it was if he had sobered up completely... In an instant Kinzoku was stood up, standing in front of him.
The security guard stepped backward automatically, completely scared out of his wits, the look Kinzoku was giving him was piercing...
Serious huh? Well don't say I didn't try to be nice.
The entire bar burst suddenly into flame as a lone figure walked out with a bottle of sake in hand, the screams of the patrons and everyone else inside echoed outside loudly as they burned to a crisp.
Hmph. Time to return to work Kinzoku said to himself as he reached to grab his hood...
Water style! Water Dragon Jutsu! A voice yelled out, the fire was doused instantly.
Kinzoku weaved hand signs so fast no average shinobi could see. Lightning Style! Shocking Current Jutsu! Electricity shot through the water dragon, electrifying it, the water dragon dispersed a figure jumped out from the rubble of the bar.
Impressive. Most shinobi would have been fried but you cancelled the jutsu as soon as you saw the jutsu activate. Kinzoku noticed the mans gleaming red eyes. Ah an Uchiha... that explains it. Kinzoku stated.
That's right. You're Kinzoku Ramu, infamous S-rank criminal. The Uchiha man said.
Kinzoku took stock of the man before him, he was about 5'11, typical spiky black Uchiha hair worn as long as his back, flowing freely. A large sword like a butchers knife on his back and a non-standard outfit...
Ah yes... Uchiha, Nikuya, the Bounty Butcher. Kinzoku recalled in his bingo book.
Oh? I'm famous on your end hm? Good to know, I guess I'll keep doing as I do. Nikuya said with a smirk.
You won't be walking away from this one Uchiha. Kinzoku said, a wide smile spreading across his face.
Nikuya weaved his hand signs and dashed forward. Fire Style! Great Fireball Jutsu!
Kinzoku countered easily, Earth Style! Terraforming! Several large portions of the ground rose up and became pillars blocking the bulk of the fire, enough for him to be able to get around and being an assault to Nikuya's left side.
Nikuya was ready for him, they traded blows, Nikuya weaved through Kinzoku's punches and tried to counter with his own but Kinzoku proved too skillful so Nikuya backed away to change strategy.
Not bad. Your taijutsu and ninjutsu are pretty good... but if you know who I am then you know you're outmatched Uchiha. Kinzoku stated calmly.
Heh... Of course I know. Nikuya said mysteriously.
What? Kinzoku replied, confused.
Nikuya dashed forward taking advantage of the confusion and drew his giant butchers knife of a sword and cleaved through Kinzoku's arm!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Kinzoku screamed, his arm fell to the ground and blood spurted across the ground.
Kinzoku fell to his knees. Ugh... I... let my guard down.
Nikuya walked to face Kinzoku. The last mistake you'll ever make he stated as his Sharingan pattern shifted.
Kinzoku looked on in shock. Mangekyo Sharingan!
Nikuya grinned. Do you know what comes next? AMATERASU!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Kinzoku yelled as his body lit up in black flames. Kinzoku thrashed and screamed until his body finally crumpled down in a heap, the black flames still alight.
Hmph. Too easy. Nikuya sheathed his sword.
Suddenly Nikuya heard a laugh behind him.
What?!? Nikuya turned around. The figure in the black flames stood up...
IMPOSSIBLE! Nikuya yelled.
Kinzoku's laughter became maniacal, something silver came bursting forth from the flames and Kinzoku dashed out of them completely unharmed, even his arm was perfectly intact.
HOW?!? Nikuya demanded.
Simple. Kinzoku pointed to the arm that had seemed to have been cut off. The flesh melted into a silvery puddle and the red blood became silver as well. I used my kekkai genkai, steel release to make the arm completely malleable steel, I can make it as solid or as liquid as I want and I can make it encase my body completely. That's how I survived your Amaterasu, a simple layer of armor on my body. Kinzoku explained.
Nikuya was horrified.
After using your Mangekyo you've lost the lions share of your chakra. Can you guess what happens next? Kinzoku grinned.
Nikuya didn't answer he merely stumbled backward.
Kinzoku's body turned silver and melted into a puddle... the silver liquid shot rapidly toward Nikuya straight down his throat.
Nikuya choked and fell to the ground, he could see his flesh stretching and the pain through his body was immense.
Wait... Steel release... NO! HE'S RELEASING LETHAL AMOUNTS OF IRON INTO MY BLOOD STREAM! STOP IT! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Nikuya's screams echoed through the forest surrounding the road.
When it was over, Kinzoku, still in his melted silver form burst forth from Nikuya's body, spraying blood everywhere.
He reshaped his body back to normal and converted himself back into flesh and bone.
Well... that was too easy. Kinzoku mocked as he replaced his hood and continued on the road to Konoha.

Intelligence -> 4 *
Kekkai Genkai -> Sharingan (You guys know what this does, there are no changes of base Sharingan in this universe)
Clan -> (You guys know the basics of the Uchiha clan so let's discuss the differences in this universe) The Uchiha clan is one of the founding clans of Konoha along with the Hyuga. The Uchiha are known for their kekkai genkai, the Sharingan and its rare ultimate form the Mangekyo Sharingan. The Mangekyo Sharingan is powerful and grants each user two different completely unique jutsu along with sacred secret clan jutsus. However, the chakra cost for certain jutsu is great and when drained the Mangekyo will revert to regular Sharingan and be unable to return to its Mangekyo state until chakra is reinstated, extreme chakra usage or powerful jutsu will cause a temporary blindness in at least one eye making certain jutsu a high risk/reward situation.
The Uchiha clans current most powerful member, Jiyu Uchiha is Hokage of the leaf village and a Shinobi that strikes fear in the heart of enemies. No shinobi has ever lived to tell of what abilities his Mangekyo Sharingan possess.
The clan has a relatively friendly rivalry with the Kaze clan though with certain members the rivalry can be more aggressive.
Backstory -> Academy Days (Age 8-12)
Awadatsu! Your form is off, your guard is weak on the left side, position your arm as I showed you before! Jiyu demanded.
Y-yes Lord Hokage! Awadatsu nervously corrected his stance as he nervously prepared for his sparring match against Akarui.. Akarui was much more talented, had already activated one tomoe sharingan, and the clans jutsu, how could Awadatsu compete?
BEGIN! Jiyu's voice rang through the Uchiha courtyard.
Akarui dashed torward Awadatsu he let loose two punches that Awadatsu managed to block, Akarui then went for a side kick that Awadatsu managed to block but hit his arm so hard that he could no longer use it comfortably, Awadatsu attempted to retreat out of range but Akarui used the distance to perform an incredibly fast front flip upward that propelled him forward, he ended the flip in a powerful drop kick that smashed brutally into Awadatsu's shoulder slamming him to his knees as he yelled out in pain.
Akarui dashed backward, stopping his onslaught.
Are you sure you want to continue cousin? Akarui asked dryly.
Gh.... Awadatsu gritted his teeth... everytime... Why was he so inferior? Why did his peers always seem so above him? He was a mockery to the Uchiha name... a disgrace! ARRRRGH! Awadatsu, ignoring the severe pain rocking through his body dashed forward, withdrawing a kunai.
! I see... Akarui could see that Awadatsu had awakened his sharingan, with a single tomoe in his left eye.
Sharingan! Akarui activated his Sharingan and withdrew his own kunai.
Awadatsu's swings were wild and unfocused, Akarui's sharingan easy followed and deflected the blows with a few flourishes of his own kunai, then kicked Awadatsu in the stomach sending him flying backward.
Uma, Tora, Mi, Hitsuji, Saru, I, Uma, Tora. Fire Style! Fireball Jutsu! Akarui drew in air and blew out a large fireball deliberately aimed to surround Awadatsu in a ring of fire.
Akarui was so fast he seemed to reappear right in front of Awadatsu, his kunai pointed at his throat, the fire making his Sharingan gleam so bright...
You've nowhere to go Awadatsu, I believe I win this session.
I agree. Jiyu Uchiha stepped forward, his serious demeanor had evaporated and he smiled. Good job you two! I better watch my back, we may have another Uchiha hokage at this rate! He chuckled.
Jiyu Uchiha wove handsigns quicker thanthe young genin could follow, Water Style! Water Bullet Jutsu! Jiyu spit from his mouth several fast bullets of water that easily put out the fire.
Heh, Akarui, why don't you go help mother with dinner? Jiyu suggested.
Yes father. Akarui deactivated his sharingan and returned to the house.
Why... Why am I so weak Lord Hokage? Akarui heard Awadatsu ask from the hallway. Akarui found a place to listen in where he was unlikely to be spotted.
Awadatsu sat beside Jiyu on the clear windy day. That was pretty good Awadatsu, you even managed to activate your Sharingan today, that's pretty great! Jiyu beamed at him.
Awadatsu looked down at the pebbles ashamedly. It was... nothing like Akarui's performance... He gripped the stairs until his knuckles were white.
Awadatsu... Instead of constantly comparing yourself to others, why don't you focus on yourself? You don't have to be the best shinobi in the village... but based on your performance, you're definitely up there. But our strength comes from every shinobi in the village, not just Akarui, not even just me. You're all the reason I can hold my head up even in the fiercest battle and pull through.
Awadatsu sat silent. What good would that do if he had to rely on everyone to be useful? He knew the Hokage couldn't possibly understand, the Hokage could take on numerous shinobi single handedly without breaking a sweat.
Hm... it's alright if you don't understand now. Jiyu stood up suddenly and Awadatsu's eyes followed him.
Remember what I've told you today, I know you'll understand it someday and it's on that day when you'll come into your own finally. Without another word Jiyu turned to go back into the house. Akarui noticed and quickly went to go help with dinner before he was caught.
The next day... It was Akarui's first day at the academy, his father had gotten up early as usual and left to do the Hokage duty. Akarui was extremely proud of his fathers strength and kind attitude, especially in the face of the Shinobi worlds ruthless nature. He ate a bit of breakfast with his mother, who wished him a good day and sent him on his way to the academy.
Akarui arrived at the academy and entered his class, he was in class with Awadatsu... he noticed the teacher holding Kaen Kaze and Awadatsu apart, he knew Awadatsu must have tried to start a fight with him again. He sat down at his seat...
Throughout his 4 years at the academy his superior grades and skills seemed to put Awadatsu in further doubt about himself, though Akarui tried to remain friendly with his cousin he could tell that there was a rift between them, though he was somewhat saddened he believed Awadatsu would come into his own someday and they would get along again.
At the age of 10, during his second academy year Akarui awakened his three tomoe sharingan and had mastered the clans fire jutsu.
It was soon time for the exam, after watching a pretty impressive display by Awadatsu, he saw the bitterness in Awadatsu's eyes as Kaen scored higher.
Uchiha, Akarui!
It was Akarui's turn. For the ninjtusu portion of the test, Akarui opened the academy windows.
Fire Style! Great Fireball Jutsu! Akarui took in a huge breath and blew a massive fireball out the window.
The proctors applauded. I believe that's a solid 10! Incredible for a genin!
Though they said that, Akarui was quite depleted in chakra now.
Regardless it was time to return home and celebrate the good news with his mother, perhaps his father if he could spare the time.
Along the road he passed Awadatsu whose skin was slightly red, he headed to his home without looking at or saying a word to Akarui. Meanwhile Kaen appeared behind him, clearly in the middle of his own journey home.
The air was a bit awkward, though they were not enemies, Akarui didn't know how he should behave around him considering Awadatsu, and Kaen in turn felt awkward as surely he had seen Awadatsu pass by.
Er.. I'm sorry about Awadatsu, I made sure to only give him light burns, he'll heal back to normal on his own. Kaen explained nervously.
Ah... no. I'm sure he tried to provoke you as usual, he needs to learn to express himself in healthier ways. Akarui scratched the back of his head.
Looking forward to your assignment to a squad leader? Akarui tried to change the subject.
Kaen decided to walk along with Akarui some way. Well, to be honest, I just hope I'm not assigned with your cousin, he really doesn't seem to get along with me, it's not exactly safe to be in life or death situations with someone you can't put your trust in... no offense. Kaen explained.
None taken. I'm sure Awadatsu will perform properly when the stakes are high. He doesn't really hate you, he hates himself really. Akarui explained.
Yeah. Kaen looked down seemingly feeling a little guilty regardless. Ah... my house is here, guess I'll see you around. Kaen waved and left toward his house.
Yeah, later. Akarui said.
Akarui pondered his own imminent squad assignment. The class was full of particularly skilled genin this year but nonetheless, while each country was seemingly peaceful, Akarui knew the alliance was uneasy, missions from now on would likely be extremely dangerous.
Ah... Akarui, good to see you! I'd heard about your successful graduation! said a cheerful voice.
Akarui snapped out of his pondering and looked up to see Seji Hyuga. Unlike most Hyuga he wore his brown hair short and somewhat messy but he had the classic milky lilac Hyuga eyes. He wore classic Hyuga colors, a beige colored hoodie with black shinobi pants. His headband was worn on his left arm. Seji Hyuga was one of Konoha's most skilled Jonin and there was a chance Akarui could end up being mentored by him soon.
Yes sir. I hope I will get the chance to receive instruction from you. Akarui bowed respectfully.
Hahah, no need for the formality, besides there's plenty of amazing jonin to go around, I'm sure you'll come out great no matter who guides your genin path. Seji replied.
Thank you for saying so sir. With that, Akarui continued home uneventfully as he and Seji went their separate ways.
(Sorry for the lack of conflict in this one, you'll have to wait until the bios are done and the big plot unfolds)

Kekkai Genkai -> Byakugan, Violet Byakugan
Violet Byakugan is a rare evolved state of the Byakugan, it has true perfect 360 vision, no more blind spot. In addition to enhancing standard Byakugan abilities, Violet Byakugan enhances the Shinobi's chakra control to the point where they can manipulate the chakra from enemy jutsu. Novice users can disrupt the flow of chakra dissipating the jutsu and expert users can change its element, or use it to restore their own chakra reserves. A shinobi can't absorb Kekkai Genkai however and disrupting them or changing their element costs a great deal of chakra as opposed to normal jutsu.
Clan -> Hyuga Clan (besides them now being a founding clan the lore isn't too much different)
Backstory -> (Hokage meeting)
Seji walked the circular halls of the top floor of the Hokage building, toward the double doors leading to the Hokage's office. As he reached the wooden double doors he knocked a few times.
Yes, please come in. The voice of the Hokage came through the doors.
Seji opened the doors, inside was Lord Hokage, Jiyu Uchiha behind his desk, his advisor and ex squad member Moeru Kaze, head of the Kaze clan and some of the other top jonin in the village.
Seji walked in, closing the doors behind him, his expression turned grave, a meeting with all the villages msot able combatants couldn't be good news.
Good, we're all here. Jiyu spoke.
The atmosphere in the room was incredibly tense, if even Jiyu's smile had faded, you knew the situation was serious.
I won't mince words with you all, I've noticed movements from all major and even many minor nations that indicate that intelligence is being gathered about our village, our land, and various other lands and hidden villages. I don't need to remind you how fragile that alliance between nations is at this time and I don't think that this will come to head anytime soon... but we're taking action now. Our own Anbu are gathering information as well, and we've secured an alliance with Kumogakure in the event war comes to our land again.
The office suddenly erupted in nervous chatter.
Seji cut through the noise firmly. How long do you suspect we have Lord Hokage?
The Hokage furrowed his brow and put his hand to his chin, these appear to be the early stages of the movement and the anbu haven't caught wind of any concrete plans from any of the villages yet so that seems to add credence that this is just the start... that's all the more reason to worry though. We don't know exactly when we'll be struck or even by who.
What shall we do to prepare Lord Hokage? Another Jonin asked.
From me all the way down, we must strengthen ourselves daily in preparation... for world war. The Hokage said, his usually jovial aura changing to one of restrained ferocity.
You all will become squad leaders to a new graduating class of Genin soon, prepare them for true war, but do it subtly, we musn't appear to be reacting just yet, if we're lucky we can appear to be off guard when the attack happens and it may give us some advantage.
Who do you think will be attacking us Lord Hokage? A female jonin asked, her voice shaking slightly.
As I said, we have no concrete information yet. A bar on the outskirts of the land of fire was attacked the other day... our Anbu report that Shinobi of Kirigakure were killed in the land of wind, and logic dictates that The land of water as a whole may be finding allies in order to expand their land and resources... but as of now this is all hearsay.
And Amegakure? Seji asked, his teeth gritted slightly as he thought of the dangerous Ame clan.
It's unlikely they will bother. Their village defense is nigh perfect, though some members may bear ill will to our lands for past conflicts they would be giving up a significant advantage to mobilize and attack us outside their land. It would be illogical for them to do so, as long as they're in Amegakure, most villages would likely face heavy losses before even reaching their village... and then having to contend with the likes of the Ame clan themselves... No. They're not likely to be involved in this but they're also unlikely to ally with us so we're leaving them out of the equation for now. Jiyu responded.
In any case, I feel I must reiterate, forget your standard training methods for your squads, you need to prepare them for the possibility of real, sustained combat and you need to do it without it being obvious to them or other nations. Jiyu continued.
With these words the tension increased in the room and a silence fell over everyone. After what seemed to be an eternity a knock on the door rang through the silence like a pot dropping to the floor. The room jumped up.
Lord Hokage, may I enter? A voice rang through.
Come in please. The Hokage said.
An anbu member stepped into the room. Lord Hokage, you have to come immediately.... Something happened again at the bar that was attacked recently on the outskirts of the land.
The Hokage stood up rapidly. Lead the way, Seji please come with me. Everyone else, please go restructure your training plans for the Genin, we will be assigning them up to A rank missions, make sure they're prepared but again, subtlety is of vital importance. GO! The Hokage ordered.
Seji followed the Anbu member and the Hokage out of the office and they rapidly walked down and out of the Hokage office.
Lord Hokage it is precisely at the western edge of the Land of Fire.
Understood,Seji, grab on. Seji was confused but put his hand on the Hokage's shoulder, copying the Anbu operative.
Mangekyo Sharingan! Folding Mirror!
The space in front of them seemed to bend.. everything went black for a moment and then as the light came back and the space unfolded, they were somewhere completely different...
! What is this?!? The Hokage seemed shocked.
They were standing at what was once a small forest... now massive tree trunks had woven themselves up and down through the forest and the very earth like giant snakes.
We don't know sir but they sprung up suddenly. We have no idea why or how. The Anbu operative replied.
I don't see any chakra pulsing through them, that SHOULD rule out that this is some kind of jutsu... The Hokage said.
Violet Byakugan! The veins near Seji's eyes bulged and his milky lilac eyes took on a deep violet color. Sei scanned through the ground trying to discern any clue about these strange trees.
...
The don't go very deep so that means they can't be roots, but they have no fruit or leaves anywhere... their cellular structure is in line with natural wood as well but trees cannot grow without roots or appear suddenly... Seji analyzed the strange sight.
... Don't use up too much time investigating this. Jiyu said to the Anbu operative. If it IS some kind of jutsu, the person responsible made sure that there was no trace of them.
But sir... The Anbu Opeartive protested. Should we not at least destroy them?
No. It could be a trap, we have no idea WHAT it is but we need to proceed with caution, investigate it lightly but if you can't find anything than turn your attention to more fruitful endeavors.
Yes Lord Hokage. The Anbu operative said as they dashed down the cliff overlooking the tree trunks and rejoined a team of Anbu investigating the site.
Any thoughts Seji? Jiyu asked.
I've never seen anything like it... There's thousands of possibilities playing in my mind... if they're roots then perhaps they intend to store natural chakra somehow... or perhaps they'll slowly ensnare the land of fire... or perhaps they're a setup for a future attack, each theory is as unsubstantiated as the last however. Seji replied.
Mmm... I hope this doesn't mean there's an acceleration in whatever's going on in the world. Let's go back, whatever this is let's just prepare the village as best we can. Jiyu stated.
Yes Lord Hokage. Seji said as they returned to the village the same way they came.
(Sorry for no combat again but you'll get to see your abilities in action later.)

Name -> Haru Ame
Gender -> Male
Current Height -> 5'0
Current Age -> 12
Hair Color -> Indigo
Eye Color -> Violet
Clothes -> Haru wears a grey lavender v-neck shirt with the insignia of his clan on his back, the insignia is based on the village insignia of a black cloud and rain, though for his clan the cloud is grey and the rain twists and distorts as it falls. He wears cream colored shorts and the standard grey opened toed sandals of his village.
Ability Score (VS other Genin only 1-5) ->
Taijutsu -> 1.5 *
Ninjutsu -> 3 *
Genjutsu -> 5 *
Strength -> 1 *
Stamina -> 1.5 *
Speed -> 2 *
Intelligence -> 4 *
Kekkai Genkai -> Amenkogan, the village hidden in the rains prized Doujutsu. Potent users of this doujutsu can use genjutsu that alters actual reality. However the greater the alteration, the higher the cost. Altering reality on a high level can permanently deactivate the doujutsu in the user or even kill them. Chakra costs are very high even when mastered but nontheless the effects are potent and effective. Even without the reality altering abilities, the doujutsu powers up standard genjutsu making it more difficult to notice and break free from, even for more experienced shinobi.
Clan -> Ame clan, the Ame clan are the founders of the Hidden Rain village and Haru's father, Hageshi Ame is the current leader. They are famed for their genjutsu skills primarily and certainly for their powerful doujutsu. Saisho Ame, an ancestor of Haru gave up his life to cast an eternal rain storm upon Amegakure that allows the Ame clan to use the rain to sense enemy forces that enter their perimeter. They are well respected by their village and feared by other lands.
Backstory ->
Academy Days (Haru age 8-12)
-----------------------
It was a typical rainy day in Amegakure, the grey skies cast only dim light into the sliding wooden doors of the dim training room. Haru stood across from his father who was half concealed in the deep shadow.
Again. Hageshi said curtly. His fathers violet eyes glowed in the darkness, they clouded over slightly as if someone had put a transparent grey film over them, Haru braced himself...
The darkness in the room stretched forward engulfing them both, and his fathers cloudy violet eyes blinked and were gone. The room became eerily silent, not even the eternal storm outside could be heard...
! Haru gasped as a pair of rotting hands raised up suddenly from the darkness and grasped his neck tightly and began to choke him!
While Haru had been calm moments before, he was fighting a powerful dread that come over him since the darkness had swallowed him and his father. He struggled to stay focused. His own violet eyes began to glow like his fathers and clouded over as well, and soon the hands faded into dust and a cloud floated into the darkness, it rained down on the black velvet and struck with a powerful blue lightning bolt that chased the darkness away. His father and the room came back in view.
Haru winced as his whole body seemed to seize up, he kneeled over in pain, gasping for air and his eyes returned to their normal, non glowing violet.
Good. His father said. You are starting to grasp the Amenkogan's basic usage and your genjutsu ability is improving rapidly. Today you start the academy. In your next training session I will not give in at only one counter. You must improve your chakra usage.
Haru gained his breath again and stood back up. Yes father.
Over the next 4 years Haru honed his doujutsu and genjutsu abilities to new levels, his father, exceedingly proud of his accomplishments expected a powerful successor worth of the Ame name.
Haru achieved excellent grades and excelled at mid to long range combat using primarily genjutsu and the villages signature lightning ninjutsu, though he was only average at it.
Soon it was time for his graduation exam. In Amegakure the exam pitted the top students against one another in a 1v1 battle. The young shinboi would fight until one dies or forfeits.
The battles took place in a field behind the academy where the rain beat against the judges, proctor, and students endlessly.
The proctor, a man with shaggy, jet black hair, grey eyes, and a long black cloak decorated with the villages insignia and with grey trim stepped forward. In a gruff voice he called out the next match.
Haru Ame vs Irito Tsubashi
Irito had spiky dark red hair and black eyes, Haru knew he specialized in Taijutsu with a passable ninjutsu ability.
They both stepped forward into the ring and they sized each other up as the Proctor raised his hand to begin the countdown to start.
Haru needed to keep his distance, if Irito managed to close the distance Haru would have no chance of victory, his vicious taijutsu and exceptional stamina would allow him to outlast and cripple Haru in seconds. Irito also had passable genjutsu skill enough to potentially recognize a weaker genjutsu and break free, however Haru hoped to conserve chakra and avoid using his kekkai genkai.
BEGIN! The proctor yelled.
Irito wasted no time at all using his great speed to dash forward, attempting to close the range with Haru immediately.
Haru quickly jumped back and quickly weaved the signs... Hitsuji, Ne, Mi!
His genjutsu struck! Irito stood in place completely still.
Haru dashed toward his opponent and began to weave more handsigns. Usagi, Saru, Mi! Lightning Release! Shock palm jutsu!
Haru's palm lit up with sparking, dancing electricity and he pierced right through Irito... but something was wrong...
As his hand hit Irito's chest it slipped through way too easily... the body turned to water and burst like a balloon.
.. Shit. Haru began to look around for Irito. He tried to stop himself from panicking and calmed his nerves with a deep breath. He could feel his presence.... ABOVE!
Haru quickly dashed backward as Irito smashed down onto the ground with his two fists cracking the earth where they hit!
The shockwave from Irito's attack made Haru stumble backward.
IT'S OVER! Yelled Irito as he wound his arm back in preparation for a powerful punch.
It couldn't be helped.
Amenkogan! Haru's violet eyes glowed brightly through the gloom and then clouded over slightly.
Kekkai Genkai, Forsaken Land!
Irito stopped in his tracks... suddenly he was in a barren wasteland with a powerful thunderstorm raging. Haru and the crowd were completely gone. He knew he was in a genjutsu but... suddenly a powerful dread arose in him he quickly began to lose his cool.
From the ground sprung thousands of rotting hands! They grasped at Irito and he was completely overcome with fear, the hands grasped and tore at his flesh.
Back in the reality Haru was on the ground but unharmed, Irito however had fallen to the floor and began rolling around screaming as if he was being stabbed repeatedly.
The proctor stepped in and wove the Uma handsign. RELEASE!
Irito was released from the genjutsu.
Haru Ame is the victor and is awarded the rank of Genin!
Haru's father walked calmy down from the stands and embraced Haru tightly. I'm so proud of you Haru, you honor the village and the Ame clan.
Haru beamed at his father. This is only the beginning father. He said assuringly.
I am certain of that my son. Hageshi replied. Come, your mother has been preparing a celebration for your induction into the shinobi ranks and we must prepare for the village ceremony later.
Haru nodded and left with his father.

Kekkai Genkai -> Fire Storm release, an ability to mix Fire and Wind element jutsu to create destructive, wide range, powerful fire storms. This powerful kekkai genkai is considered superior to the Uchiha's special fire release and the two clans are bitter rivals. Most Kaze clan members are born with this ability and even as low level Shinobi can do low rank versions of the clan jutsu that are destructive in spite of their low rank. The true sign of a talented young Kaze shinobi is the ability to control the jutsu and keep its damage on the appropriate targets.
Clan -> The Kaze clan are fierce rivals with the Uchiha, while the Uchiha have their sharingan, the Kaze have their superior Fire Storm release. The Kaze came after the Uchiha clan making the Uchiha feel even more uncomfortable that one of their unique talents was bested. The Kaze clan additionally is known for producing shinobi with superb chakra reserves allowing them to make obscenely powerful jutsu with enough range to encase an entire village at full mastery. Furthermore both clans tend to produce well rounded shinobi otherwise which furthers the competition between the two clans.
Backstory -> Academy Days (Age 8-12)
It was going to be a dull day, Kaen was starting his first day at the academy. In a months time he would also begin undergoing the clans ceremonial training program for mastery of his clans signature Fire Storm release. At the current moment Kaen could produce small flames that were an inconvenience but didn't burn very long, though he could amplify the area they burned with a small burst of wind. Still he could hardly call it ninjutsu at this time.
He entered through the academies double doors and absent mindedly headed through the hallways.
A older Chuunin was ushering the first year students into their correct classes, Kaen found the one outside his class and went in.
The instructor was still not present as he sat down at the desk of his choice.
As he settled into his seat a kunai suddenly whizzed past his ear.
Kaen stood up quickly and turned around... of course...
Uchiha. Kaen greeted cooly as he picked up the kunai and tossed it casually and caught it again.
Kaze. The Uchiha boy grinned wide. I'm surprised you made it into the academy with your general ability and lack of effort. The boy teased.
Some of us don't have to apply effort to pass things. Kaen grinned as he replied calmly.
The Uchiha boys face turned to a grimace.
Kaen had hit the boys button and he knew it, ever since childhood Awadatsu Uchiha had hated Kaen for his effortless talent. While the Uchiha boy was certainly skilled, he worked tirelessly everyday for it and struggled to keep up with his other clan members.
Awadatsu wasted no more time, he lunged forward after Kaen...
Suddenly a puff of smoke came between them and there stood the instructor, firmly gripping Awadatsu in one hand and holding the other hand out toward Kaen in order to prevent the fight.
Now, now boys. There'll be plenty of time to beat each other up during the school year. Why don't we sit down and start with the basics first?
And that first day in the academy seemed to repeat itself as Awadatsu constantly picked fights with Kaen. Unlike his other clan members, Kaen felt no rivalry with the Uchiha, he was entirely focused on himself and his own progress. This only angered Awadatsu more.
After four years of more or less the same nonsense it was the graduation exam. Konoha's exam consisted of each student showing off their highest rank jutsu in various categories of jutsu. Only the most proficient students would become genin.
Uchiha Awadatsu. A kindly looking chuunin called Awadatsu forward.
This is the Ninjutsu portion of the test and the last proficiency test you must pass, please show us your best jutsu.
Awadatsu looked extremely nervous but nonetheless he began to weave his handsigns, Mi, Hitsuji, Saru, I, Uma, Tora, Fire Style! Fireball Jutsu!
Awadatsu released a small but potent fireball that lit up the room.
The three proctors applauded him and praised his ability, giving him a score of 8. Well done Uchiha, next, Kaze, Kaen.
With a self satisfied grin Awadatsu passed by Kaen and sat down in a chair smugly. Kaen as usual couldn't have cared less about his attempts at provocation.
Alright, Kaen, show us your best jutsu.
Kaen wove his handsigns, Ushi, Tori, Uma, Ne, Tora, Kekkei Genkai, Fire Storm Style! Controlled Flame devastation! A small tornado of flame whipped up in the middle of the room and Kaen concentrated fiercely to keep it in control. It blew the papers in the classroom all over the place but lit nothing on fire.
The proctors jaws were hanging. Extremely Impressive Kaze! 10/10 score! You pass the exam! The proctors applauded and cheered.
Finally done with the exam Kaen began to head home but he could sense he was being followed...
Uchiha. What do you want? Kaen called out to the deserted street he was now walking.
Awadatsu appeared from a fence camouflage. You think your jutsu are so great, all my life all you've done is go around showboating constantly, it's time I put you in your place! Sharingan! Awadatsu activated a one tomoe Sharingan and rushed toward Kaen.
Kaen, taken aback had little time to prepare and was barely able to block a fierce combo from Awadatsu.
What's wrong Kaen?!? Not such hot stuff when you're in a real battle huh?
Kaen rushed forward and let loose a combo of kicks and punches as well... but Awadatsu was able to block every blow. Awadatsu countered with a round house kick that sent Kaen flying along with several kunai thrown immediately after.
Kaen wasn't finished! He quickly withdrew his own Kunai from his holster and blocked each and every Kunai.
Awadatsu however was no longer in front of him.
Suddenly he felt a burst of wind behind him.
Shit! Before Kaen could react Awadatsu had kicked him from behind and he flew the other direction.
(He's fast... and his Sharingan prevents me from going toe to toe with him using taijutsu, I need to produce a large enough non lethal jutsu to cancel his speed... but I can't use a regular jutsu or he may be able to copy it. Kaen thought to himself.. I'll have to use THAT jutsu.)
Awadatsu has stopped his onslaught to confidently admire his handiwork. I always knew you weren't a match for me. He mocked.
Kaen didn't even bother to make a retort, he simply wove his handsigns.
Tori, Ushi, Uma, Usagi, Tora! Kekkei Genkai, Firestorm Style! Human Firestorm!
Kaen's body was completely engulfed in wind that was lit aflame, with ridiculous speed he dashed toward Awadatsu!
Awadatsu simply didn't have the speed to counter he was hit full force with the jutsu and was lit aflame briefly, with some difficult Kaen managed to control the jutsu to only burn him lightly and leave only minor lacerations instead of deep slashes.
Awadatsu fell flat on his ass, his skin red and slightly burnt from the jutsu.
Kaen's jutsu stopped and he stood standing above Awadatsu.
Awadatsu inched backward still on the ground, without saying anything he got up with some difficulty, and ran off.
Kaen knew this would not be the end of his annoyances from Awadatsu but he worried not and instead headed home to tell his parents he had passed the exam.

Clan -> The Shi clan is an ancient clan from the Land of the Wind and founders of the hidden sand though they do not run the village nor do they reside in it. The clan is secret group of assassins that only few shinobi know of. Their expert shinobi kill for high prices and that money is party shoveled back into the Village hidden in the Sand. Their preferred weapon if they must fight face to face is a scythe that has a moddable handle size, from making it like a small dagger to a full size scythe.
The other primary charaterstic of a Shi clan member is their proficiency with Wind, Earth, and Yin release. Any member who cannot master these elements by the age of 8 is killed as they know too much about the clan.
Backstory -> Age 16, Job from the Kazekage
Two shinobi from the land of water were heading away from the Village hidden in the Sand, disguised perfectly with transformation as sand shinobi.
Certain they were well out of earshot, being in the middle of the desert and sensing no presence they decided to discuss their findings.
What do you think Mizu? Said the shinobi running on the left.
Their security shouldn't be a problem to bypass, their forces are well trained but not good enough if we use the mist villages best forces. All in all, out of all the potential threats from the major villages, this particular village probably poses a mid level threat.
Agreed. The other shinobi replied. Let's split up now and return to the intelligence squad.
Ye-
The shinobi's sentence was cut short, something was rising out of the sand in front of him, human shaped, and before he could react it had reached out toward his neck and snapped it in an instant.
MIZU! The other shinobi yelled! This shinobi withdrew a kunai and tossed it at the the human shaped sand, the sand simply crumbled away in the wind.
The shinobi noticed a black shadow race under him and turned around just in time.
From the shadow a young boy was rising, their legs fused into one and still attached to the deep black shadow but their upper body completely normal, the boy had a small scythe raised and ready to attack but the shinobi was able to counter the attack and take a step back.
Impressive. The boy said as his legs rose from the shadow and he assumed a battle stance.
Who are you? A sand shinobi? Asked the man.
Shin extended his scythe with a flick and changed his battle stance appropriately. That information isn't relevant to the dead.
Tch! The other shinobi began to weave hand signs very quickly. Shin caught a glimpse of Inu and knew a water jutsu was coming. He dodged out of the way as a several streams of water swirled around him.
You're able to summon water from mere chakra, you must be a fairly skilled jounin in your village. Shin said simply.
The man said nothing but began weaving signs for another jutsu, this time Shin was ready with his own.
Hitsuji, Ushi, Saru, Mi! Earth Style! Earth Wall!
The man's next jutsu crashed uselessly against Shin's earth wall. The man shot a kunai with an explosive tag at the earth wall and the wall blew up, as he figured the boy was not behind it.
The man turned around behind him, there was nothing... the boy must be below!
The man quickly weaved some handsigns and made a solid mass of water that he stood on. This would surely ruin the sand if the boy tried to attack him like he did Mizu... but the attack never came?
Suddenly the man saw a strange shadow above him... It was too late.
The man felt Shin's wind jutsu slash at him various times, eviscerating him and spraying his blood and organs across the sands.
Shin landed casually on the sand and walked toward the splattered mess that had once been a man. He noticed a scroll that had been shredded by the attack.
Ah... Shin reached down and grabbed the scroll and weaved one handed handsigns. Tori, Ushi, Hitsuji, Wind Style! Slicing wind jutsu!
The scroll was torn up into pieces as small as saw dust and was scattered to the wind.
Mission complete... Shin said to himself as he melted into a shadow and raced along the sands back toward the village.
Within a few hours he had raced into the Kazekage's chambers and rose from his shadow.
Ah... Shin did you intercept the enemy shinobi?
Shin bowed, yes Lord Kazekage, I intercepted and killed the infiltrating Water shinobi and destroyed the intel they had collected of our forces.
Curious... their village is getting sloppy lately in their clandestine activities, I wonder if their more skilled forces are occupied with something...
If I may my lord... A man stepped forth from the shadows beside the Kazekage's throne, the man was tall, slender, with silver hair and piercing ice blue eyes... he smiled at Shin but the smile only sent a chill down Shin's spine. Who was this man?
If their best forces are potentially away would it not be an opportune time to send some of ours to gather intel of our own? The man suggested.
Hm. Yes I will call in some of the higher ranking Shi clan, you may go Shin.
... Yes lord Kazekage. Shin bowed as he walked out of the throne room, feeling the blue eyed mans gaze follow him all the way out.

Kekkai Genkai -> Thunderstorm Release, a Kekkai Genkai that allows the user to combine wind, water, and lightning elements to summon storms, such as tornadoes or with great chakra mastery hurricanes, gives the user the ability to control lightning in natural storms as well with little chakra use and gives even novice Shinobi the natural ability to summon water from chakra alone, though proficiency determines the amount and only the best users can make truly devastating jutsu with it.
Clan -> The Arashi clan is an old clan of Amegakure, though not as old as the Ame clan. They produce the finest front line soldiers and their members tend to be fit, durable, and well rounded warriors. The strongest skill of the clan is their ninjutsu ability the clan leaders can summon hurricanes, tsunamis, and vicious lightning storms and thanks to the Ame clans permanent storm can use their Kekkai Genkai with less chakra consumption within the village, making their villages defense among the most powerful in all of the Shinobi world.
Backstory -> Academy Days (Age 8-12)
A silver haired boy stood outside in the pouring rain in the courtyard of a beautiful manor. The fish in the koi ponds surrounding the courtyards garden swam around anxiously as if sensing the boys own emotions.
The boy was holding out his hand and in it was a sphere of water.
Okay now... Torai tried to weave the one handed handsigns as his father had showed him Tori, Saru, Hitsuji... The sphere of water in his hand began to spread out.
Good job Torai. Said a woman standing opposite him, her long flowing hair also a gleaming silver, she was dressed in a long deep purple robe with grey trim. Now, try to add lightning nature to it as well.
Torai was struggling to keep the water and wind element chakra flowing but tried his best to focus on it while adding lightning element, he waved more single handed handsings.
Usagi, Saru, Uma, Mi!
Lightning crackled across the small tendrils of water and the entire jutsu suddenly increased in size and danced wildly for a moment in front of Toria before it vanished.
Well done! The woman praised. We will learn to maintain it next and then we will shape transformation as well.
The training continued for the rest of the day, the next day would be his first at the academy.
He arose early the next day, and went through his morning routine before entering the kitchen, there the silver haired lady put a plate of breakfast in front of him.
Thank you mother. Torai said as she nodded, smiled, and went to make breakfast for his father as well.
His father, a black haired man with amber eyes, well built, strong jawed, and with a scar across the left side of his face stopping just beneath his eye spoke.
Torai, I expect you to have mastered all up to the clans C rank jutsu with and without using the Amegakure storms to your advantage by the time you finish the academy.
It will be done father. Torai replied as he finished his breakfast.
Torai finished his breakfast and headed to his first day at the academy, walking through the high rise sky scrapers of the village. The academy was a somewhat shorter sky scraper than the rest, he entered through and found his way through to his class.
As he entered he spotted Haru, the Ame and Arashi clans had been friends since the Arashi clan had been formed. He sat down next to Haru and greeted him.
Good morning, Haru replied as he set out his things in preparation for class.
How goes your clans training? Torai asked Haru.
It's fine, though the Amenkogan eats up a lot of chakra, I try to rely on regular genjutsu most of the time while only using it to amplify them. Haru replied.
Heh, you think that's tough? Try to add three natures and master shape transformation before the rank of Genin and get back to me. Torai smirked.
Haru chuckled a bit, I'm fine thanks, I'll stick with my workload.
The teacher appeared and class began, the classes went relatively smooth over the next 4 years, Torai made pretty decent grades, usually just under Haru in fact. By age 12 he managed to master everything his father had asked and was able to claim his birth right of using the Storm Release, albeit only at the level one would expect of a genin.
It was exam day and Torai had just witnessed Haru pass the exam.
Hm... his Taijutsu is still exceedingly poor and his body somewhat frail, if he doesn't work on that then smarter close range shinobi will be able to run circles around him.
The proctor spoke. Next battle! Arashi, Torai vs Tsasame, Hiru.
Hiru, a student with dirty blonde hair and hazel eyes stepped into the battle ground along with Torai.
Hm... Hiru is a fairly well balanced shinobi with superior speed, taijutsu and ninjutsu ability, this could be a close one. Additionally he uses a claymore in battle when he needs a little more brute force.
The proctor raised his hand. BEGIN! He yelled.
Hiru and Torai wasted no time with games, they immediately dashed toward each other and clashed with their taijutsu.
Hiru punched twice, went for a side kick, Torai ducked and weaved past the punches and blocked the kick with his elbow.
Hiru lunged forward with a low kick aimed at Torai's knee but Torai dashed backwards and Hiru's foot simply smashed into the earth, spraying mud everywhere.
He's fast! Torai thought to himself.
Hiru dashed forward with great speed and let loose a much faster flurry of hits, Torai managed to block a few but ultimately took a punch to the jaw and a roundhouse kick so fast and powerful that you could hear Hiru tear through the wind as twirled and smashed his leg into Torai who flew backward.
Torai was given no reprieve, Hiru had withdrawn his claymore and was rushing toward Torai.
! Torai quickly withdrew his long sword just in time to block a powerful downward slash from Hiru.
Nngh! Torai struggled as Hiru put pressure against his blade. It wasn't long before one of Torai's knees buckled and he was in a disadvantageous position right under Hiru's blade, the only thing between it and Torai his own longsword.
Torai quickly weaved some singlehanded hand signs, Usagi, Saru, Mi, Lightning Style! Shocking blade! Lightning danced around Torai's blade and he sent it straight through Hiru's claymore.
Hiru dropped the claymore to avoid the electric shock and dashed backward as Torai went on the offensive with his own longsword.
Hiru was still too fast and was able to dodge his slashes and kick Torai's blade out of his hand.
The boys stood apart from another catching their breath.
I'm astounded at your speed Hiru, it seems you're becoming a skilled shinobi. Torai stated.
Can't let all the big name clans take all the glory forever now can we? Hiru smirked as he resumed a battle stance.
We'll see. Torai responsed.
Hiru began to weave handsigns... his handsigns too were extremely fast!
Torai tried to counter weave but Hiru's were simply too fast.
Lightning Style! Striking Death Jutsu! Hiru yelled
Torai backflipped repeatedly as several bolts of lightning flew down from the sky, while backflipping he used a single hand to begin weaving handsigns.
Usagi, Tori, Saru, Mi! Kekkai Genkai! Storm Release! 1000 droplets, electric prison jutsu!
Before Hiru could move ALL of the rain began to swirl around him and then became charged with electricity.
Before the Jutsu could finish, it was dispelled and exploded instead into many Sakura petals. It was Hageshi, he had spared the losing student. He stepped forward from the stands.
The battle is over, Torai is the victor, had the jutsu been allowed to finish, Hiru would have been dead.
Hageshi helped Hiru up and they began a conversation on how he could improve.
Torai picked up his long sword and sheathed it and picked up the claymore as well.
He walked over and interrupted the conversation and handed Hiru his claymore back, he took it. There were no hard feelings in the Shinobi world, death was a regular part of their existence as was competition. Hageshi congratulated Torai and Torai went home with his parents who came down from the stands to congratulate him as well. He had become an official genin of Amegakure.

Clan -> The Seishin clan are the keepers and caretakers of the Nine Tailed Fox, their job is to make sure it is fit and happy so that if the worst were to happen it could defend the village. They are a clan as old as Konoha. The head of the family interacts directly with Kurama, and develops a deep bond of trust and kinship, as a tradition, Kurama has offered to share his chakra with the heads of the Seishin household and allow a small portion of it to become a permanent part of their own chakra pool. This happens to each successor of the head before they assume the position. Once they assume the head position they are no longer sent out on missions and instead stay in the village. As a result of this relationship several members of the family have been born with crimson hair and whisker marks as the generations have passed.
Backstory -> Academy Days (Age 8-12)
It was gloriously bright sunny day in Konoha, wind blew through the happy bright happy green leaves of the threes making a pleasant sound as their leaves danced both on their branches and in the wind. The sound of warm crackling fire could be heard from a small pit in the ground, the pit was shaped in the leaf symbol and behind it sat the great tailed guardian of Konoha, Kurama the nine tailed fox.
Sit, Jonetsu.
Jonetsu sat cross legged in front of Kurama.
This boy is to be your successor Gekido? Kurama asked in his deep growl of a voice.
Yes this is the one. He will recite the ceremonial bonding now. Gekido explained.
Kurama started at the boy waiting.
Jonetsu was quite nervous being in the presence of such sheer power but this was his duty and his future.
I offer my life, my kinship, my strength, and my chakra to you Guardian of the leaf, I promise to be your defender and serve you until the next successor is born and ready to take my mantle.
Jonetsu made a handsign, Hitsuji! He channeled some of his chakra outward, the Nine Tailed Fox withdrew this chakra and absorbed it into his own.
Very well Jonetsu. I accept your future ascendance as my servant. Kurama stated. A visible red chakra flowed freely from Kurama swirling in the air like tendrils before it flew rapidly toward Jonetsu.
This chakra is a symbol and reminder of our contract, our power is now connected. Kurama added.
Jonetsu felt the extremely powerful chakra flow into his body and meld with his own. Jonetsu stood and bowed deeply.
His father Gekido stepped forward and put a hand on his shoulder and offered a kindly smile. It's time, don't be late for your first day at the academy.
Jonetsu nodded and and left the shrine behind.
Konoha was lively at this early morning hour, the villagers bustled around energetically greeting him with good morning, Jonetsu returned their greetings and smiled as he made his way to the academy.
He was absent mindedly thinking of his new chakra and his future duties when he accidentally bumped into someone, he fell onto the ground from the force.
As he looked up to see who had bumped into... Ah... Lord Hokage!
It was Jiyu Uchiha, the current hokage of the leaf, like most Uchiha his hair was jet black as were his eyes.
Jiyu smiled and offered his hand to Jonetsu who took it as Jiyu helped him up.
Someone's lost in thought today, perhaps about their first day at the academy? Jiyu chuckled.
Ah... no sir, I was thinking about my future duties... Jonetsu shuffled his feet, somewhat embarassed at having bumped into the Hokage.
He felt Jiyu's hand ruffle his hair, Jiyu beamed at him. Hey now, don't worry about that too much, you're still young! You're a student the same as the rest, so just focus on being the best shinobi you can be for now, along with your fellow leaf shinobi.
Jonetsu smiled. Ah... Yes Lord Hokage, thank you. Jonetsu rushed off to class leaving the Hokage to wave at him and then continue his walk to the Hokage office.
Jonetsu made it to the academy and walked through its halls to his classroom.
The teacher wasn't present yet but Jonetsu chose a seat and sat down regardless. On the other side of the classroom he could see Kaen, and Awadatsu Uchiha...
Awadatsu had thrown a kunai that whizzed right by Kaen's head.
Jonetsu shook his head, quietly thinking to himself what a fool Awadatsu was, if only he could be more like Lord Hokage.
The teacher appeared in a puff of smoke to stop the fight.
The teacher had spiky blonde hair and crystal blue eyes. After ending the fight he walked to the front of the room.
Alright... with that over class I'm your instructor, the name's Yin Mikadzuki. The instructor explained.
The classes continued...
Jonetsu passed his classes fairly with a small amount of effort, making fairly decent grades on part with most of the class.
The day of the graduation exam had come.
Jonetsu had just witnessed Awadatsu and Kaen's powerful jutsu.
Seishin, Jonetsu, the proctors called.
Jonetsu walked forward.
As was said before, show us your best Ninjutsu.
Jonetsu weaved his signs, Hitsuji, Tatsu, Ushi, Tori! Wind Style! Baby Dragon Jutsu!
Jonetsu's chakra, visible and red appeared as a small dragon which flew gently around the room in a controlled manner messing up a few papers, Jonetsu made sure to control the power as to not destroy the room... alas this task was too difficult, even after 4 years the kurama chakra within was still a little tough to control, the dragon grew bigger and bigger and flew back toward the proctors blowing their papers all over the place and singing their eyebrows off...
Hm... Impressive show... powerful but the chakra control needs work...
Ah... sorry, sorry! Jonetsu apologized profusely.
Well nonetheless it was certainly a strong Jutsu and I've seen you're able to keep control of your chakra at least 99% of the time, I'd give it a 7/10 overall, you pass.
Jonetsu was overjoyed but also embarassed he apologized over and over as they gave him his genin headband, the proctor assuring him much worse had happened to him over his years as a proctor.
After a ton of apologies, Jonetsu left for home to tell his father the good news.

Backstory (Age 6-12) ->
Here... Hanabira... eat... His frail mother, skin and bone, passed a bit of bread to Hanabira, who thanked her and ate it.
His mother mournfully looked out the window, the dim grey light lit up her green eyes, punctuated only by the shadow of falling rain which would turn to snow soon.
After Hanabira finished his bread he looked up at his mother. Where is father? I haven't seen him since yesterday.
His mother turned to look at him, a smile spread across her face. He's working Hanabira, he'll be home soon, I promise.
There was something off about her smile but Hanabira trusted his mother.
Eventually she got up, her body shaking... and she stumbled slowly to her bedroom, shut the door and went to sleep.
Hanabira followed her example, blew out the candles and went to bed as well.
He awoke the next day to a snowy morning... Oh wow! He exclaimed as he dashed out the door! He knew better than to step in the snow barefoot but he loved to watch it fall. As the excitement filled his chest he called for his parents... No answer. He called again...
Only eerie silence greeted him.
Mother?... He stepped toward her bedroom. Father? He called as he continued... Surely he would open the door... and his parents would chastise him for leaving the front door open in the cold... right?
He opened the door... His mother was curled up in bed... but next to her.... something horrible, something gray, its hair matted, the stench of it horrible. Hanabira stumbled back as he let out a loud scream. Neither the monster nor his mother moved however... after a moment of gathering his courage he got up and held his nose as he approached the bed....
He put his hands on his mothers cheek... they were wet... had she been crying? Her skin was still somewhat warm but as he shook her and called for her she did not open her eyes or make any movement. Hanabira looked at the monster she had cuddled with and... it was wearing his fathers necklace, a simple black cord necklace with a small, polished blue stone attached. The monster... was his father... the realization hit him that his parents had died...
He sat there, how long he didn't know trying to process what happened. Eventually his body seemed to stand up and carry him out into the snow automatically... he wandered and wandered... his parents did not live near civilization and he didn't know where the closest place was.
After some time he came across other people but they were just as poor as he was and their eyes had that same look of hopelessness in them.
This was his new life. For a whole year of his life he ate from the trashes in the small, equally poor towns that were spread around his parents house and at night he would sleep under a bridge, not wanting to return to his parents house where their corpses lay.
One day... while eating a moldy loaf of bread picked from a trash can, a female shinobi passed near him, her hair was a dull blue, about shoulder length, she was fit with clear tone to her body from her line of work and she carried with her a katana in a blue sheath with red rain drops and ripples, presumably to represent blood dripping into water. He asked the woman... please can you spare some food or money?
The woman stopped and turned to him, revealing crimson eyes.
Nothing is free in this world boy. What will you offer me? She said with a stern gaze.
Hanabira glanced around... he noticed a bandage wrapped around her hand that was stained deep red with blood. Hanabira's mother... though not a shinobi had come from a family of shinobi and she had taught him how harness his chakra and some jutsu that could heal wounds, perhaps he could be of use? Though his mothers jutsu were only good enough to heal scrapes.
Hanabira pointed to her hand and he asked the woman to show him the wound.
The woman, clearly amused did so.
Hanabira took two of his hands over the fresh bleeding wound and he began to apply his chakra to closing it. Eventually he closed the entire wound and the bleeding was completely gone. He looked up at the woman and smiled.
The woman was in complete shock. This child... she whispered in disbelief.
What is your name boy? She demanded.
I am Hanabira. He responded.
I am called Ketsueki. The woman said in turn. Rather than stay here begging for bread, why not come work for me boy? Your medical jutsu is leagues above what even many Jonin can produce. Come with me, be my doctor and I will provide for all of your needs. She offered her hand to Hanabira.
What did he have to lose thought Hanabira? Perhaps this was fate, perhaps he had found what he should do with his life. He took the woman's hand... and they left for the Village Hidden in the Mist.
Hanabira was trained by the woman in what she could but Hanabira proved to be naturally talented at medical ninjutsu and came into his own with little instruction, while Ketsueki tried to teach him other forms of ninjutsu or combat however he failed but he was incredibly sharp, naturally fast, and his medical ninjutsu prowess was stupendous.
The land of water is poor Hanabira. The other lands made it so with their larger share of famous clans and their constant use of our land as a battle ground. Lord Mizukage will soon turn the tables on them. Our uneasy peace will break and Kirigakure will achieve the respect and resources it deserves at long last.
She bent down and put her hands on Hanabira's cheeks, her crimson eyes, full of fervor bored into his calm green ones, and you will be by my side as we take our rightful place in the shinobi world.
Hanabira nodded and smiled, the touch of Ketsueki, it was as close to the touch of his mother as he could remember. This woman, he would protect her no matter what, she was his new family.
Years passed and Hanabira, now 12 had begun to undertake the plans necessary to subjugate the larger shinobi villages, they had made allies with other smaller nations that had been pushed around... and soon these plans would come to a head and they would show their full might to the arrogant and complacent large countries.

Clan -> None
Backstory -> (Setup)
Kinzoku grew up a shinobi of Kumogakure, his taijutsu and ninjutsu were always supreme and he graduated early due to his prowess..
During his academy days he developed the Drunken Fist technique from watching the drunken village men stumble out of the tavern. This suited his personality, or at least the personality the village thought he had.
After feeling he could gain no more progress from the village, he decided to test his abilities against the first raikage even though he was a mere boy of 10. He used his drunken fist to humiliate the raikage and then used his steel release to turn the raikages lightning jutsu against him, killing him and becoming an S-rank criminal. From there he left and continued to kill whenever he found an opponent who challenged him or who he felt worthy of witnessing his abilities.
(Modern day)
Kinzoku gulped down his 6th glass of whiskey at the out of the way bar just outside the land of fire. Heeeeey... pour me another one barkeep.
The barkeep put his hands on the counter. C'mon now you've had enough.
Kinzoku stood up suddenly, his robe whipping powerfully from the speed of his movement. The entire bars atmosphere changed to thick tension..
Kinzoku merely shrugged his shoulders Awwwww c'mon! Don't be a schquare! He slurred drunkenly!
The tension died immediately, the barkeep having regained his courage called his security staff.
Awwwww man, what a dra- BURP- .. oof... big one... drag. Kinzoku finished.
As the security tried to grab him, he swayed drunkenly on the spot and the security guy missed.
The hell? Stay still. The security guard went to grab him again.
Kinzoku slumped onto a bar stool once again dodging the man.
Enough of this! The securit guard, angry, unsheathed a kunai and threw it right at Kinzoku's head.
Kinzoku fell backward off the stool and the kunai merely hit the wooden leg of the stool as Kinzoku landed on his ass
Owwwowowo... damn gonna feel that one.... YAAAAAAAAAAAWWWN in the.... in the... -snore- Kinzoku fell right asleep.
The security guard breathed a sigh of relief as he went to grab Kinzoku.
Kinzoku merely rolled in his sleep completely dodging every attempt to be grabbed.
DAMNIT WHY WON'T YOU TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY?!? The guard yelled.
Kinzoku opened his eyes suddenly.
The security guard stood frozen, this look was different, it was if he had sobered up completely... In an instant Kinzoku was stood up, standing in front of him.
The security guard stepped backward automatically, completely scared out of his wits, the look Kinzoku was giving him was piercing...
Serious huh? Well don't say I didn't try to be nice.
The entire bar burst suddenly into flame as a lone figure walked out with a bottle of sake in hand, the screams of the patrons and everyone else inside echoed outside loudly as they burned to a crisp.
Hmph. Time to return to work Kinzoku said to himself as he reached to grab his hood...
Water style! Water Dragon Jutsu! A voice yelled out, the fire was doused instantly.
Kinzoku weaved hand signs so fast no average shinobi could see. Lightning Style! Shocking Current Jutsu! Electricity shot through the water dragon, electrifying it, the water dragon dispersed a figure jumped out from the rubble of the bar.
Impressive. Most shinobi would have been fried but you cancelled the jutsu as soon as you saw the jutsu activate. Kinzoku noticed the mans gleaming red eyes. Ah an Uchiha... that explains it. Kinzoku stated.
That's right. You're Kinzoku Ramu, infamous S-rank criminal. The Uchiha man said.
Kinzoku took stock of the man before him, he was about 5'11, typical spiky black Uchiha hair worn as long as his back, flowing freely. A large sword like a butchers knife on his back and a non-standard outfit...
Ah yes... Uchiha, Nikuya, the Bounty Butcher. Kinzoku recalled in his bingo book.
Oh? I'm famous on your end hm? Good to know, I guess I'll keep doing as I do. Nikuya said with a smirk.
You won't be walking away from this one Uchiha. Kinzoku said, a wide smile spreading across his face.
Nikuya weaved his hand signs and dashed forward. Fire Style! Great Fireball Jutsu!
Kinzoku countered easily, Earth Style! Terraforming! Several large portions of the ground rose up and became pillars blocking the bulk of the fire, enough for him to be able to get around and being an assault to Nikuya's left side.
Nikuya was ready for him, they traded blows, Nikuya weaved through Kinzoku's punches and tried to counter with his own but Kinzoku proved too skillful so Nikuya backed away to change strategy.
Not bad. Your taijutsu and ninjutsu are pretty good... but if you know who I am then you know you're outmatched Uchiha. Kinzoku stated calmly.
Heh... Of course I know. Nikuya said mysteriously.
What? Kinzoku replied, confused.
Nikuya dashed forward taking advantage of the confusion and drew his giant butchers knife of a sword and cleaved through Kinzoku's arm!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Kinzoku screamed, his arm fell to the ground and blood spurted across the ground.
Kinzoku fell to his knees. Ugh... I... let my guard down.
Nikuya walked to face Kinzoku. The last mistake you'll ever make he stated as his Sharingan pattern shifted.
Kinzoku looked on in shock. Mangekyo Sharingan!
Nikuya grinned. Do you know what comes next? AMATERASU!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Kinzoku yelled as his body lit up in black flames. Kinzoku thrashed and screamed until his body finally crumpled down in a heap, the black flames still alight.
Hmph. Too easy. Nikuya sheathed his sword.
Suddenly Nikuya heard a laugh behind him.
What?!? Nikuya turned around. The figure in the black flames stood up...
IMPOSSIBLE! Nikuya yelled.
Kinzoku's laughter became maniacal, something silver came bursting forth from the flames and Kinzoku dashed out of them completely unharmed, even his arm was perfectly intact.
HOW?!? Nikuya demanded.
Simple. Kinzoku pointed to the arm that had seemed to have been cut off. The flesh melted into a silvery puddle and the red blood became silver as well. I used my kekkai genkai, steel release to make the arm completely malleable steel, I can make it as solid or as liquid as I want and I can make it encase my body completely. That's how I survived your Amaterasu, a simple layer of armor on my body. Kinzoku explained.
Nikuya was horrified.
After using your Mangekyo you've lost the lions share of your chakra. Can you guess what happens next? Kinzoku grinned.
Nikuya didn't answer he merely stumbled backward.
Kinzoku's body turned silver and melted into a puddle... the silver liquid shot rapidly toward Nikuya straight down his throat.
Nikuya choked and fell to the ground, he could see his flesh stretching and the pain through his body was immense.
Wait... Steel release... NO! HE'S RELEASING LETHAL AMOUNTS OF IRON INTO MY BLOOD STREAM! STOP IT! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Nikuya's screams echoed through the forest surrounding the road.
When it was over, Kinzoku, still in his melted silver form burst forth from Nikuya's body, spraying blood everywhere.
He reshaped his body back to normal and converted himself back into flesh and bone.
Well... that was too easy. Kinzoku mocked as he replaced his hood and continued on the road to Konoha.

Kekkai Genkai -> Sharingan (You guys know what this does, there are no changes of base Sharingan in this universe)
Clan -> (You guys know the basics of the Uchiha clan so let's discuss the differences in this universe) The Uchiha clan is one of the founding clans of Konoha along with the Hyuga. The Uchiha are known for their kekkai genkai, the Sharingan and its rare ultimate form the Mangekyo Sharingan. The Mangekyo Sharingan is powerful and grants each user two different completely unique jutsu along with sacred secret clan jutsus. However, the chakra cost for certain jutsu is great and when drained the Mangekyo will revert to regular Sharingan and be unable to return to its Mangekyo state until chakra is reinstated, extreme chakra usage or powerful jutsu will cause a temporary blindness in at least one eye making certain jutsu a high risk/reward situation.
The Uchiha clans current most powerful member, Jiyu Uchiha is Hokage of the leaf village and a Shinobi that strikes fear in the heart of enemies. No shinobi has ever lived to tell of what abilities his Mangekyo Sharingan possess.
The clan has a relatively friendly rivalry with the Kaze clan though with certain members the rivalry can be more aggressive.
Backstory -> Academy Days (Age 8-12)
Awadatsu! Your form is off, your guard is weak on the left side, position your arm as I showed you before! Jiyu demanded.
Y-yes Lord Hokage! Awadatsu nervously corrected his stance as he nervously prepared for his sparring match against Akarui.. Akarui was much more talented, had already activated one tomoe sharingan, and the clans jutsu, how could Awadatsu compete?
BEGIN! Jiyu's voice rang through the Uchiha courtyard.
Akarui dashed torward Awadatsu he let loose two punches that Awadatsu managed to block, Akarui then went for a side kick that Awadatsu managed to block but hit his arm so hard that he could no longer use it comfortably, Awadatsu attempted to retreat out of range but Akarui used the distance to perform an incredibly fast front flip upward that propelled him forward, he ended the flip in a powerful drop kick that smashed brutally into Awadatsu's shoulder slamming him to his knees as he yelled out in pain.
Akarui dashed backward, stopping his onslaught.
Are you sure you want to continue cousin? Akarui asked dryly.
Gh.... Awadatsu gritted his teeth... everytime... Why was he so inferior? Why did his peers always seem so above him? He was a mockery to the Uchiha name... a disgrace! ARRRRGH! Awadatsu, ignoring the severe pain rocking through his body dashed forward, withdrawing a kunai.
! I see... Akarui could see that Awadatsu had awakened his sharingan, with a single tomoe in his left eye.
Sharingan! Akarui activated his Sharingan and withdrew his own kunai.
Awadatsu's swings were wild and unfocused, Akarui's sharingan easy followed and deflected the blows with a few flourishes of his own kunai, then kicked Awadatsu in the stomach sending him flying backward.
Uma, Tora, Mi, Hitsuji, Saru, I, Uma, Tora. Fire Style! Fireball Jutsu! Akarui drew in air and blew out a large fireball deliberately aimed to surround Awadatsu in a ring of fire.
Akarui was so fast he seemed to reappear right in front of Awadatsu, his kunai pointed at his throat, the fire making his Sharingan gleam so bright...
You've nowhere to go Awadatsu, I believe I win this session.
I agree. Jiyu Uchiha stepped forward, his serious demeanor had evaporated and he smiled. Good job you two! I better watch my back, we may have another Uchiha hokage at this rate! He chuckled.
Jiyu Uchiha wove handsigns quicker thanthe young genin could follow, Water Style! Water Bullet Jutsu! Jiyu spit from his mouth several fast bullets of water that easily put out the fire.
Heh, Akarui, why don't you go help mother with dinner? Jiyu suggested.
Yes father. Akarui deactivated his sharingan and returned to the house.
Why... Why am I so weak Lord Hokage? Akarui heard Awadatsu ask from the hallway. Akarui found a place to listen in where he was unlikely to be spotted.
Awadatsu sat beside Jiyu on the clear windy day. That was pretty good Awadatsu, you even managed to activate your Sharingan today, that's pretty great! Jiyu beamed at him.
Awadatsu looked down at the pebbles ashamedly. It was... nothing like Akarui's performance... He gripped the stairs until his knuckles were white.
Awadatsu... Instead of constantly comparing yourself to others, why don't you focus on yourself? You don't have to be the best shinobi in the village... but based on your performance, you're definitely up there. But our strength comes from every shinobi in the village, not just Akarui, not even just me. You're all the reason I can hold my head up even in the fiercest battle and pull through.
Awadatsu sat silent. What good would that do if he had to rely on everyone to be useful? He knew the Hokage couldn't possibly understand, the Hokage could take on numerous shinobi single handedly without breaking a sweat.
Hm... it's alright if you don't understand now. Jiyu stood up suddenly and Awadatsu's eyes followed him.
Remember what I've told you today, I know you'll understand it someday and it's on that day when you'll come into your own finally. Without another word Jiyu turned to go back into the house. Akarui noticed and quickly went to go help with dinner before he was caught.
The next day... It was Akarui's first day at the academy, his father had gotten up early as usual and left to do the Hokage duty. Akarui was extremely proud of his fathers strength and kind attitude, especially in the face of the Shinobi worlds ruthless nature. He ate a bit of breakfast with his mother, who wished him a good day and sent him on his way to the academy.
Akarui arrived at the academy and entered his class, he was in class with Awadatsu... he noticed the teacher holding Kaen Kaze and Awadatsu apart, he knew Awadatsu must have tried to start a fight with him again. He sat down at his seat...
Throughout his 4 years at the academy his superior grades and skills seemed to put Awadatsu in further doubt about himself, though Akarui tried to remain friendly with his cousin he could tell that there was a rift between them, though he was somewhat saddened he believed Awadatsu would come into his own someday and they would get along again.
At the age of 10, during his second academy year Akarui awakened his three tomoe sharingan and had mastered the clans fire jutsu.
It was soon time for the exam, after watching a pretty impressive display by Awadatsu, he saw the bitterness in Awadatsu's eyes as Kaen scored higher.
Uchiha, Akarui!
It was Akarui's turn. For the ninjtusu portion of the test, Akarui opened the academy windows.
Fire Style! Great Fireball Jutsu! Akarui took in a huge breath and blew a massive fireball out the window.
The proctors applauded. I believe that's a solid 10! Incredible for a genin!
Though they said that, Akarui was quite depleted in chakra now.
Regardless it was time to return home and celebrate the good news with his mother, perhaps his father if he could spare the time.
Along the road he passed Awadatsu whose skin was slightly red, he headed to his home without looking at or saying a word to Akarui. Meanwhile Kaen appeared behind him, clearly in the middle of his own journey home.
The air was a bit awkward, though they were not enemies, Akarui didn't know how he should behave around him considering Awadatsu, and Kaen in turn felt awkward as surely he had seen Awadatsu pass by.
Er.. I'm sorry about Awadatsu, I made sure to only give him light burns, he'll heal back to normal on his own. Kaen explained nervously.
Ah... no. I'm sure he tried to provoke you as usual, he needs to learn to express himself in healthier ways. Akarui scratched the back of his head.
Looking forward to your assignment to a squad leader? Akarui tried to change the subject.
Kaen decided to walk along with Akarui some way. Well, to be honest, I just hope I'm not assigned with your cousin, he really doesn't seem to get along with me, it's not exactly safe to be in life or death situations with someone you can't put your trust in... no offense. Kaen explained.
None taken. I'm sure Awadatsu will perform properly when the stakes are high. He doesn't really hate you, he hates himself really. Akarui explained.
Yeah. Kaen looked down seemingly feeling a little guilty regardless. Ah... my house is here, guess I'll see you around. Kaen waved and left toward his house.
Yeah, later. Akarui said.
Akarui pondered his own imminent squad assignment. The class was full of particularly skilled genin this year but nonetheless, while each country was seemingly peaceful, Akarui knew the alliance was uneasy, missions from now on would likely be extremely dangerous.
Ah... Akarui, good to see you! I'd heard about your successful graduation! said a cheerful voice.
Akarui snapped out of his pondering and looked up to see Seji Hyuga. Unlike most Hyuga he wore his brown hair short and somewhat messy but he had the classic milky lilac Hyuga eyes. He wore classic Hyuga colors, a beige colored hoodie with black shinobi pants. His headband was worn on his left arm. Seji Hyuga was one of Konoha's most skilled Jonin and there was a chance Akarui could end up being mentored by him soon.
Yes sir. I hope I will get the chance to receive instruction from you. Akarui bowed respectfully.
Hahah, no need for the formality, besides there's plenty of amazing jonin to go around, I'm sure you'll come out great no matter who guides your genin path. Seji replied.
Thank you for saying so sir. With that, Akarui continued home uneventfully as he and Seji went their separate ways.
(Sorry for the lack of conflict in this one, you'll have to wait until the bios are done and the big plot unfolds)
--------------------------------------------
Whitebeard
Name -> Seji Hyuga
Gender -> Male
Current Height -> 5'11
Current Age -> 24
Hair Color -> Brown (Short, worn somewhat shaggy)
Eye Color -> Milky Lilac
Clothes -> Beige colored hoodie with black shinobi pants. Dark blue leaf headband worn on left arm. Standard dark blue lead shinobi sandals.
Ability Score (VS other Jonin only 1-5) ->
Taijutsu -> 5 *
Ninjutsu -> 3 *
Genjutsu -> 3 *
Strength -> 5 *
Stamina -> 3 *
Speed -> 5 *
Intelligence -> 4 *
Kekkai Genkai -> Byakugan, Violet Byakugan
Violet Byakugan is a rare evolved state of the Byakugan, it has true perfect 360 vision, no more blind spot. In addition to enhancing standard Byakugan abilities, Violet Byakugan enhances the Shinobi's chakra control to the point where they can manipulate the chakra from enemy jutsu. Novice users can disrupt the flow of chakra dissipating the jutsu and expert users can change its element, or use it to restore their own chakra reserves. A shinobi can't absorb Kekkai Genkai however and disrupting them or changing their element costs a great deal of chakra as opposed to normal jutsu.
Clan -> Hyuga Clan (besides them now being a founding clan the lore isn't too much different)
Backstory -> (Hokage meeting)
Seji walked the circular halls of the top floor of the Hokage building, toward the double doors leading to the Hokage's office. As he reached the wooden double doors he knocked a few times.
Yes, please come in. The voice of the Hokage came through the doors.
Seji opened the doors, inside was Lord Hokage, Jiyu Uchiha behind his desk, his advisor and ex squad member Moeru Kaze, head of the Kaze clan and some of the other top jonin in the village.
Seji walked in, closing the doors behind him, his expression turned grave, a meeting with all the villages msot able combatants couldn't be good news.
Good, we're all here. Jiyu spoke.
The atmosphere in the room was incredibly tense, if even Jiyu's smile had faded, you knew the situation was serious.
I won't mince words with you all, I've noticed movements from all major and even many minor nations that indicate that intelligence is being gathered about our village, our land, and various other lands and hidden villages. I don't need to remind you how fragile that alliance between nations is at this time and I don't think that this will come to head anytime soon... but we're taking action now. Our own Anbu are gathering information as well, and we've secured an alliance with Kumogakure in the event war comes to our land again.
The office suddenly erupted in nervous chatter.
Seji cut through the noise firmly. How long do you suspect we have Lord Hokage?
The Hokage furrowed his brow and put his hand to his chin, these appear to be the early stages of the movement and the anbu haven't caught wind of any concrete plans from any of the villages yet so that seems to add credence that this is just the start... that's all the more reason to worry though. We don't know exactly when we'll be struck or even by who.
What shall we do to prepare Lord Hokage? Another Jonin asked.
From me all the way down, we must strengthen ourselves daily in preparation... for world war. The Hokage said, his usually jovial aura changing to one of restrained ferocity.
You all will become squad leaders to a new graduating class of Genin soon, prepare them for true war, but do it subtly, we musn't appear to be reacting just yet, if we're lucky we can appear to be off guard when the attack happens and it may give us some advantage.
Who do you think will be attacking us Lord Hokage? A female jonin asked, her voice shaking slightly.
As I said, we have no concrete information yet. A bar on the outskirts of the land of fire was attacked the other day... our Anbu report that Shinobi of Kirigakure were killed in the land of wind, and logic dictates that The land of water as a whole may be finding allies in order to expand their land and resources... but as of now this is all hearsay.
And Amegakure? Seji asked, his teeth gritted slightly as he thought of the dangerous Ame clan.
It's unlikely they will bother. Their village defense is nigh perfect, though some members may bear ill will to our lands for past conflicts they would be giving up a significant advantage to mobilize and attack us outside their land. It would be illogical for them to do so, as long as they're in Amegakure, most villages would likely face heavy losses before even reaching their village... and then having to contend with the likes of the Ame clan themselves... No. They're not likely to be involved in this but they're also unlikely to ally with us so we're leaving them out of the equation for now. Jiyu responded.
In any case, I feel I must reiterate, forget your standard training methods for your squads, you need to prepare them for the possibility of real, sustained combat and you need to do it without it being obvious to them or other nations. Jiyu continued.
With these words the tension increased in the room and a silence fell over everyone. After what seemed to be an eternity a knock on the door rang through the silence like a pot dropping to the floor. The room jumped up.
Lord Hokage, may I enter? A voice rang through.
Come in please. The Hokage said.
An anbu member stepped into the room. Lord Hokage, you have to come immediately.... Something happened again at the bar that was attacked recently on the outskirts of the land.
The Hokage stood up rapidly. Lead the way, Seji please come with me. Everyone else, please go restructure your training plans for the Genin, we will be assigning them up to A rank missions, make sure they're prepared but again, subtlety is of vital importance. GO! The Hokage ordered.
Seji followed the Anbu member and the Hokage out of the office and they rapidly walked down and out of the Hokage office.
Lord Hokage it is precisely at the western edge of the Land of Fire.
Understood,Seji, grab on. Seji was confused but put his hand on the Hokage's shoulder, copying the Anbu operative.
Mangekyo Sharingan! Folding Mirror!
The space in front of them seemed to bend.. everything went black for a moment and then as the light came back and the space unfolded, they were somewhere completely different...
! What is this?!? The Hokage seemed shocked.
They were standing at what was once a small forest... now massive tree trunks had woven themselves up and down through the forest and the very earth like giant snakes.
We don't know sir but they sprung up suddenly. We have no idea why or how. The Anbu operative replied.
I don't see any chakra pulsing through them, that SHOULD rule out that this is some kind of jutsu... The Hokage said.
Violet Byakugan! The veins near Seji's eyes bulged and his milky lilac eyes took on a deep violet color. Sei scanned through the ground trying to discern any clue about these strange trees.
...
The don't go very deep so that means they can't be roots, but they have no fruit or leaves anywhere... their cellular structure is in line with natural wood as well but trees cannot grow without roots or appear suddenly... Seji analyzed the strange sight.
... Don't use up too much time investigating this. Jiyu said to the Anbu operative. If it IS some kind of jutsu, the person responsible made sure that there was no trace of them.
But sir... The Anbu Opeartive protested. Should we not at least destroy them?
No. It could be a trap, we have no idea WHAT it is but we need to proceed with caution, investigate it lightly but if you can't find anything than turn your attention to more fruitful endeavors.
Yes Lord Hokage. The Anbu operative said as they dashed down the cliff overlooking the tree trunks and rejoined a team of Anbu investigating the site.
Any thoughts Seji? Jiyu asked.
I've never seen anything like it... There's thousands of possibilities playing in my mind... if they're roots then perhaps they intend to store natural chakra somehow... or perhaps they'll slowly ensnare the land of fire... or perhaps they're a setup for a future attack, each theory is as unsubstantiated as the last however. Seji replied.
Mmm... I hope this doesn't mean there's an acceleration in whatever's going on in the world. Let's go back, whatever this is let's just prepare the village as best we can. Jiyu stated.
Yes Lord Hokage. Seji said as they returned to the village the same way they came.
(Sorry for no combat again but you'll get to see your abilities in action later.)
