OC Shinobi in my Naruto universe

Name: Kaika 'The Punch' Namikaze

Gender: Female

Age: 28

Rank: Jounin

Birth Country: Hi no Kuni (Land of Fire)

Village: Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf Village)

Appearance: Kaika is a tall, slender, busty girl with light blue eyes and 'poofy' blonde hair that goes down to her waist. She wears her black headband in a choker style. She wears a tight, blue shirt worn underneath her leather jacket. He also wears short black pants and black combat boots.

Personality: Kaika can best be described as "The kind of person who would teach someone how to swim by pushing them in the water."She is also energetic and a bright young lady. Additionally, she is very flippant and carefree, frequently making sarcastic comments and jokes even in the heat of battle and often taking combat and hostile situations extremely lightly, particularly when faced with foes she knows she can beat easily and who don't pose a threat to her. She also has a fiery temper.

History: Kaika lived a fairly normal life, graduating Normaly along with her fellow classmates and Genin team, and eventually was made into a Chuunin and then a Jounin. Though, the one thing that set her apart was her extreme tendency to break and destroy things when angered. This all started when she was gifted a pair of gloves that could have Chakra channeled into them to increase her punching power. She loved these gloves, and never took them off. She would always break things with them, break holes in buildings, and even completely destroy town square. This destructive power stuck with her to this day, and she is now feared as 'The Punch'.

Jutsu Type (Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Taijutsu, etc.): Taijutsu.

Kekkei Genkai/Tailed Beast (If your Jutsu Type is a Kekkai Genkai or Tailed Beast, what is it? Limit of 2 per character): The Namikaze clan's speed.

Weapons/Tools (Optional): Gloves that can have chakra flown through them. She nick named them 'The official don't mess with me gloves.'

Strengths: Fast, and a very hard hitter.

Weaknesses: Not particularly good in Ninjutsu or Genjutsu at all. She relies heavily on her strength and agility, and tends to be overconfident. She cannot controll her power well.

Apologies for the brief and delayed reply, this was a 10 hour day and the shortest I've worked all week. I say toss the fire element, instead give the gloves the ability to seamlessly infuse lightning chakra into any jutsu similar to what I expect Hidden Mists twin lightning swords Kiba are capable of, and then give her an instinctive mastery of Earth Spear Hardening (what Kakuzu uses where his hand turns black and hits like a freight train) and when she wears her gloves while using it, the lightning chakra is infused into the ESH which turns it into blast release causing tremendous explosions when her fist connects with something, hence the incredible amounts of destruction. Bonus if she's some kin to Tsunade.

I'd have her actually be very sensitive and covering it up with a tough-gal routine, possibly as a result of some past heartbreak/bullying/other-relatable-sob-story-of-your-choice. On top of that, if her "temper" is actually just her trying to cover up the fact that she's actually just not that much in control and often uses ESH instinctively which always destroys things because of her gloves (make them a cherished gift from her dearly departed whoever and that can be the secret reason why she never takes them off despite her propensity to cause excessive destruction), then all of that makes her a much deeper character and not some just random OC. Make those little changes and boom, she has much more life about her despite the offhanded way in which I am typing this.

On that note since I'm feeling a bit like Frankenstein telling you so casually how to breathe life into that which ain't, we could make a little nod to Frankenstein's monster and also give her a bit of social anxiety which she covers up with bravado to hide how much she feels like a freak and monster because she's always destroying things and sees herself as always messing up as a person despite being very successful as a shinobi. On the note of nods to Doc Frankenstein and his monster, you could go one step beyond the gloves being a gift from her dearly departed whoever, and have her whole team have been massacred with her only having narrowly survived with a huge number of scars all over her body. If people find out about the scars, they'll want to know about the scars, and then boom, they're invested in the character.

Name: Izanami Hyūga (https://imgur.com/il0lom7)

Gender: Female

Age: 12

Rank: Genin

Birth Country: Hi no Kuni (Land of Fire)

Village: Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf Village)

Appearance: Eyes aside, Izanami does not look like the average Hyūga. Her hair, long and in healthy quantity like her clan members, is not black, but platinum blonde, and is usually kept at hip length. A lock at the front of her head is decorated with red and blue beads. Of course, she has the Byakugan, with the pale eyes, but often wears goggles on her face, to keep it secret, somewhat. Her eyes are large, though often imbued with a sedateness, and her small mouth is usually set in a very slight pout. The cursed seal of the Branch House is visible on her forehead, though it is obscured a little by the locks of hair that fall over her forehead and face.

Her skin is a little darker than normal, due to the gene pool of her mother, and she is quite slim in build and a little tall for her age. She does not wear the normal Hyūga robes, but a grey hooded jacket, with short sleeves. Black, fingerless gloves are on her hands, and they extend to a few inches beyond her elbows. Beneath the jacket, she wears a black sleeveless shirt, though both jacket and shirt are short at the hemline, revealing some part of her midriff. She wears a pair of shorts that stop short of her knees, knee pads and a black pair of the normal ninja sandals.

Her sword, which she calls Yonakaba, takes the form of a shikomizue, is grey both on scabbard and hilt, but the blade is, of course, polished steel. The scabbard is straight and smooth, as is the hilt, so that when the sword is sheathed, it resembles a staff. She wears it on her back, fastened to her waist by her belt. The symbol of the shinobi, a Leaf forehead protector, hangs around her neck, tied in place with black material.

Personality: Izanami is the dark, moody type. She likes to keep to herself, broods a lot and almost has a case of agoraphobia. Izanami does not like people, as a whole, and she is rarely ever found in a crowded area, unless her presence there is a must.

Izanami is a brooder, thinking a lot about past events and people. She may spend long hours at night, sitting up and staring at the wall, while her mind wanders. Often, she lacks sleep, and tends to be snappish in the mornings, though she levels out as the day progresses.

She has a gothic approach to life, preferring dark clouds to the sun, disliking over-excited people around her, and occasionally wishing for a little carnage, just so that people can become serious. Her actions to people, even her father and other Hyūga clan members, is strictly formal and polite, but she can be informal around her friends, if ever she will have any. She hates the Main House with a passion, utterly abhorring the idea of living, only so as to protect the main House members. Thus, she prefers to stay away from the Hyūga grounds, save when she needs to learn a new Jyuuken technique.

Izanami is not that mean deep inside. She often just feels that she's misunderstood and gets bitter when no one seems to want to understand her or care. If she comes across anyone who shows an interest in her, she will try to be friendly, but if it's a guy, she gets uneasy and uncertain, as she's not used to speaking to them. She's sort of shy, and might stutter a little if in the presence of a male she is quite fond of, something she secretly berates herself harshly for.

Stubborn and strong willed, Izanami neither gives up or runs away, unless she has a better plan that running away can accomplish. Nonetheless, she will complain when asked to retreat, and will do so with misgivings. Although it rarely shows on her face, Izanami is a warlike youngster, who thinks combat is a way to express herself. She may be a little callous at times, going to long lengths to ensure that she wins a battle without any controversies, though she will stop fighting once her opponent surrenders. No matter her foe, even if a Main House Hyūga, Izanami will hold a respect, albeit grudging, for anyone who gives her a good fight.

History: Born to the Branch House of the Hyūga clan, Izanami was the first and only child of her father, as her mother died at birth. Her mother was not a shinobi, had migrated from the country of Lightning and had come to dwell in the hidden village of Leaf. Like some of the inhabitants of Lightning country, she was dark skinned, with pale hair. And Izanami got the looks from her mother, except the eyes, of course.

Izanami's father had gone into a secret relationship with her mother, and things had gone on quietly, until her mother discovered she was pregnant. Izanami's father did not want the unborn baby to be branded by the Hyūga clan, and so he tried to keep it secret, but the cat was let out of the bag on the day of delivery. The labor that brought Izanami into this world was long, and the birth complicated; it ultimately resulted in the loss of the mother, but the child was spared. There was no mistaking it; she had the Byakugan in her eyes. From a medic at the hospital, the Hyūga elders were informed of this development, and the baby was brought to the mansion. Her father's hopes had failed.

Without exception, at age three, Izanami received the stigma of the Branch House, something that she, like many members of her House, hated the Main House for. But what could she do about it? Always feeling inferior to them, watching the preference meted out as she grew up. Her father mostly seemed distant and withdrawn, so Izanami also withdrew to herself, keeping away from Branch and Main House children and adults alike, and shut herself in a world of vigorous training and exertion, just to take her bitterness out on something else, hiding her seal, just to look normal. She was a non-conformist as much as possible, opting to dress differently from the Hyūga robes, and often reveling in the fact that in color of skin and hair, she stood out from the other Hyūga. That scarcely helped her predicament, and she got tired of everything, finally deciding to wear it proudly and defiantly on her forehead. People could gawk all they liked...

She took some time in deciding to become a shinobi when the time came; at that time, she didn't seem to care about anything in life, anymore. But she discovered that going on missions would keep her out of the mansion as much as possible, and becoming a shinobi might give her a chance to stay away from them. So, she finally entered the Academy, albeit sort of late, though she only passed through it once.

Maybe, beyond the walls of the mansion, she would not be just one of those Branch members. She would learn different things; she would give herself a name; she would earn reputation outside, if the clan of the Hyūga would not give it to her.

Name: Shikaki Nara

Gender: Male

Age: 12

Rank: Genin

Birth Country: Hi no Kuni (Land of Fire)

Village: Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf Village)

Appearance: Shikaki wears his hair in the Nara ponytail (like Shikamaru and his father). His hair is a lighter, not truly black, a dark grey. He doesn't spend much time putting his hair back. He just roughly throws it backwards. This causes rough edges. He allows one lock of hair to drape down to his left hair. He has a small part to the right side of his head.

His hair is very ovular and isn't square at all. He has a pale monotonous complexion. He has a long pointy nose with a small scar running down the bridge. His nostril flare briefly when his focus is broken. His lips are a light pink and are often slightly chapped in even slightly dry weather. His lips are loose and naturally are perfectly horizontal. His eyes are deep green and his lashes are short and dark coloured. His eyebrows are thin.

Shikaki wears a slightly tattered Nara jacket with the clan symbol in its normal place. Underneath he wears a white T-shirt (turtleneck during winter). Underneath the shirt, he has a pale torso due to the fact he often will wear coats to keep people from seeing his thin, non-muscular arms. He is overall un-muscular. Shikaki's pants are tan khakis with a bunch of small pockets (not inventory slots). They are slightly baggy, which he likes because it hides how slight in build he is. He wears blue sandals on very hot days. Most of the time he just wears a pair or black sneakers that look like dress shoes.

Personality: Shikaki is often quick to dislike someone. If the person creates any hassle in Shikaki's life he will most likely deem them "a pain". Anyone who he deems "a pain" he will ignore and avoid. If someone were to bump into him and make him drop anything he is holding he will immediately lose most of his respect for them. This rule doesn't apply if he feels this person is more intelligent than him.

If a decision could affect his life long term he will never lunge into it. He will stop moving and focus. He may spend hours trying to find the best decision. Sometimes he will sit and think on small decision. When he became a ninja it wasn't as early as normal because it took him years to settle his mind.

The only time he will truly bond with someone is after a few hours of strategy games. He often says "I can't trust them untill I see how their mind works." he never has put money in a bank because of this. Once he claims to know how someone's mind works he is very loyal. He makes fun of himself for this, yet knows it is one of his best qualities.

He hates being disrupted. When he is thinking his focus can be very fragile. If you were to break his focus he wouldn't lunge at you. He would ignore you. Three hours he would ignore anything you said or did. Another six hour he would ignore your speech, not your presence.

He really doesn't fear much except the usual. He is afraid of the sannin and the kages. He never really bothers with them. He respects them. He just doesn't talk to them much. He has one fear though. The Yamanaka clan terrifies him. He just can't stand the thought that someone can get into his head. He guesses their jutsu is kind of like the kagemane, yet he thinks thoughts and one's mouth are off limits.

History: When Shikaki was a young child, he didn't know what Shika meant so he liked his name. When he learned it was a card in the "InoShikaCho" he became angry. He yelled at his father: "I am not another part of a game. I am a human. You named me after a dumb game also." At this point, Shikaki had already taken a liking to chess. He did forgive his father. After hours and hours of sitting still he decided to request to be called by the nickname of Kaede.

When he entered the academy, he considered it an enjoyable experience. He participated in some practice battles. He always ended up getting smacked around. He figured out this was because he got so deep in thought that he lost track of what was going on. He finally gave in and asked his father if there were any techniques to hold a battle still.

Overtime Shikaki had practiced wrestling holds, paralysis jutsus, knot tying, and Genjutsu trying to hold ninjas still. When his father found this out he decided it was time to enter him into the Nara Clan. Once entered, Shikaki immediately began practicing diligently. Everyday he made his shadow move. He found a room where he could close the shades and turn on a spotlight to have only one source of light.

One day, Kaede was coming home from buying some food. He was playing with his shadow when he decided to see how far he could stretch it. "Eleven metres. That's odd. I can normally only... There I get it. I can stretch it further if it passes through shadow." From that day forth he he worked on weapons that created shadows. He tried a yo-yo (never had a bladed one just plastic). Small weapons proved to be inefficient. He wanted to use a bow. He couldn't afford a good one so he stuck to his justus.

Shortly after his academy graduation, he found that his father had spent a great deal of money on a nice bow for him. His father taught him the basics. They had to use sharpened sticks because they had no arrows. After all this Kaede's father announced he was leaving the village. "I plan to go missing. There are things I can not stand. I am past the end of my patience."

A little later, he said his goodbyes. His last words to Kaede were: "Remember how my mind works."

Name: Inokichi Yamanaka

Gender: Male

Age: 12

Rank: Genin

Birth Country: Hi no Kuni (Land of Fire)

Village: Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf Village)

Appearance: He is beautiful. Eyes as pure as the ocean they are but jewels that rest upon the delicate face of a being not yet a man but neither a boy. Youthful almost his face is still maturing after years of aging his face does not yet resemble a man but a small child with soft, delicate, and fragile pale skin. a face that hides the many masked emotions that he so heavily carries as well as the secrets he has promised to keep since the time he was born. He is truly radiant. Holding the delicate features of his Japanese ancestors with a small nose and thin lips, he carries the round shaped eyes and average sized ears of the German masses. Contrary to many his hair is a mess of golden blonde that makes him appear as if he has permanent bed-head.

Petite if not small, he stands at 4'7" and weighs no more than 110 pounds at best. He is like a doll some would say, a small and harmless porcelain doll. His clothing is not different from the others in comparison to the Konohagakure shinobi; wearing a white, ankle-length coat with the Yamanaka Clan insignia on the on the back, with a hood attached to the coat's high collar, with buttons resembling the clan insignia that fasten the coat. Beneath his is a an apparent plate of armour and fishnet undershirt with khaki pants. He also wears a pair of black, low-top converse.

He carries a black butt bag filled with his many weapons. And on many occasion is seen wearing stylish beanies (some of which he has designed on his own), these beanies are namely black or black and grey though they do sometimes vary in color and style. A totoro wallet and a black is the only accessories he keeps on hand.

Personality: From looking at that smug grin on his face, Inokichi is exactly what you would expect him to be. He has been described as eccentric and unpredictable, at times offering levity to otherwise serious situations. He is also quite arrogant and self absorbed, namely regarding his appearance and his lineage as a Yamanaka. His arrogance and self-confidence is something that is seen in many of today's youth, being so obsessed with his own looks that even the slightest blemish can cause a mental uproar of Biblical proportions.

He is also incredibly laid back and relaxed, handling even the most serious situations with casual disregard, often times listening to his music in the middle of a battle. He comes off as being comes off as callous and nonchalant towards his fellow shinobi and elders. He positions himself as a cut above the rest and believes that he has earned everything that has come his way. His constant smile, combined with his heavy use of sarcasm and mocking politeness makes it difficult to discern his thoughts. However, Inokichi claims he is not one for lying or deceiving others claiming it to be uncouth and completely unlike him.

The true oxymoron of contradicting and duplicitous traits to this genin is his violent and blood-thirsty nature. When evaluated psychologically, Inokichi would exhibit signs of a narcissistic sociopath with a sadistic mindset. He is rather lewd and obscene, though he tends to be more clever with his remarks than his fellow shinobi. He has been seen to not be taken lightly as shown when he finds someone he perceives to be a threat he is almost already plotting to end their lives. He can kill someone as close as a comrade, all with a smile. Inokichi has also been seen to state how someone should die out of annoyance alone, again with a smile and look of amazement. He is a killer with a contention or joy from death and violence.

Conniving and vindictive, he is not someone who takes humility well. Sometimes described as being a cold hearted snake, Inokicki seems to show a lack of humanity in him that makes him more than capable of committing some of the most immoral of actions and crimes. Willing to harm someone physically and mentally, his vindictive nature makes him the perfect man for plotting a revenge tactic. Possibly a side effect of his impending curiosity, he acts in a veil of secrecy, very rarely leading on to what he is planning and is almost always constantly smirking or grinning.

That little smirk of his is something that makes him feared among his peers since many are unsure as to whether or not he is plotting against them or what he is planning in that twisted little mind of his. And as slithery as any snake, he is more than willing to manipulate anyone to get what he wants even if it means their own life. Just through sheer talking many people feel as though they are being strangled or lured into something they don't want to do.

History: Before you read this allow me to state something: this is not a special story. In fact this is the story of a fairly ordinary boy living a fairly ordinary life. For the better half of things there is no sadness, no drama, no spectacular moment where he realizes he was secretly a hero his entire life...well there isn't one now. This is the beginning of the story where a child is born to two parents, who love him deeply.

Our story begins with a man pacing outside the corridors of the a large house in Konohagakure, awaiting to ask permission from a father to take his lover's hand in marriage. It was summer here in the large village located in Hi no Kuni. The flowers were in full bloom and the sun at its highest. Minutes passed and he knocked upon the door, greeted by one of the many slaves to which he asked for council with the owner of such a fabulous home. Council was met and many things were discussed. The man he was to meet was a tall man, stern in his facial structure with long blonde hair and crystal blue eyes honoring the lineage of the Yamanaka Clan. Many things were discussed between the tall Yamanaka and the man of a much smaller stature, his profession, his reason behind him wanting to marry his daughter, why was there love a secret. And in many answers he would end in a smile and the king would smile back and soon he allowed for such a marriage, but they would leave in the castle with him. He accepted these terms and a marriage ensued.

They were to wed within the months and soon the marriage took place. A man of a lanky stature with short black hair and hazel eyes, married to a woman of fair skin with long golden hair and glistening blue eyes. They were happy to be wed, to faithful Yamanaka whom were now retired Shinobi. They would be happy, that was their fate.

They smiled and would say how much they loved one another and how they wanted a child. Try and try again they were not successful in their trials. Soon they felt as if hope had been lost, there was no more trying an heir would not arrive. Years passed and he decided they must try again, it was customary to try once more and so they did. Weeks passed and nothing happened. She experienced no symptoms, nothing at all. But it wasn't until a month after she realized she had become pregnant when the signs blossomed. A gender unknown she thought of the many names she could name the child, male and female. Her husband consulted and agreed to many names but disapproved of many others. Month passed and soon their child was born into this world. A beautiful baby boy. He was to be named Inokichi.

A beautiful baby boy with golden locks and wide blue eyes that resembled sapphires, he would be their hope for a better Yamanaka Clan. A childhood that was indulged in the arts of the Yamanaka Family, he was taught the clan's history and the secrets behind their technique. A knowledgeable boy, he was to visit the Yamanaka, Nara, and Akimichi Clan Memorial on a daily basis in order to pay his respects to the fallen clansmen whom he would call brethren had they still been alive. It was here that he learned of the testament of the close-knit relationship between the three clans; the Nara, the Akimichi, and the Yamanaka. His learning soon led to his interactions with his fellow children of the respective clans. While there were many only a few stuck out to him. Akimichi, Chōjo and Nara, Shikazu two children whom he found to be the closest to his age and the most entertaining.

Though they happened to be a year older than himself he often found himself visiting them on many occasions where they would find themselves watching the clouds by the creek and telling stories to one another. Well, they would play in the creek and he would simply watch from a distance only occasionally joining in. They saw him as their brilliant story teller whom often entwined them with stories fashioned from his imagination. They called themselves the Hope Trio as they had all been selected as being the Hope for a better generation in their clan. But the trio would not last long, as the stories began to grow wilder the children aged and soon Chōjo and Shikazu left for the Academy where they would meet another Yamanaka to fulfill their role as Ino–Shika–Chō.

Like that he was replaced and left alone as he had not bonded with the other Nara and Akimichi children. But he would smile and pretend as if nothing had bothered him. It was in these moments that he realized how easily replaceable he was to the world, to the people he called his friends. His hope was dying.

Things had become simple now, at the tender age of eight. He like the masses to be admitted into the Academy and like the other students he was expected to be at the top of his class. Inokichi's time in the Academy was not one of difference in fact it was fairly plain and simple in comparison to the other students. He was taught reading, writing, mathematics, science, geography, upon the other lecture materials taught by their Sensei. He was taught the 'Shinobi Rules', which he soon deciphered as a way to make a Shinobi mindless. However, even at such a young age he decided these rules would lead to a fools death, one that he would not be apart of. He found it to be another tool in controlling the Shinobi and their moral and ethical values which the Hokage attempted to change so that he could craft them as mindless beings. But he would not be mindless.

During many of the lectures by veteran Shinobi he would find himself in the library honing his skills in literature and learning the various types of Shinobi and how each provided a successful tool and advantage to any battle. Here he became more reserved as he found that books were more pleasant they people, books wouldn't hurt you. He was administered tests of Taijutsu, Ninjutsu and Genjutsu to which he found that he was only average in each of these subjects, though he did find himself a talent for Medical Ninjutsu. While many of the students battled he hid and skipped class as he found that unnecessary violence was a near repulsive thing. It wasn't until later that he was forced to administer himself in such battles where he tested the Yamanaka Clan's techniques on his peers.

His skills made him stronger, they gave him the advantage and the pull to manipulate them as he saw fit. He was soon labeled as a Shinobi with endless potential though he lacked the 'discipline' to harness his potential. To him that was advice to join the flock or get killed by wolves.

Graduation took place by the time he turned eleven. The exam was simple, a written exam and what they called a practical exam which he was to perform in front of the Chūnin instructor who had been teaching them since the time they entered the Academy. The written exam was simple, explain the Shinobi rules. Though he had skipped many classes he learned these rules from the books he had read. Without a doubt in his mind he passed as was soon administered the practical exam. He was to perform the Kawarimi no Jutsu and the Henge no Jutsu, two techniques that he had practiced prior to this test.

He would pass with flying colors and would be administered his forehead protector. He was growing now. To be an official shinobi of his village. This was one of the greatest moments of his life.

Appearance: Cho wears her older brother, Chikaga's, hand me downs and they are a little big on her. She is large in stature like all of her clan. She wears her head band around her neck instead of on her forehead. She has spiked red hair that often is left to go wild. She wears fighting tape on both arms, but doesn't have them too tight so that she can quickly remove then in order to use the Expansion jutsu.

Personality: Cho is well known for trying to stop fights; she is the definition of a peace holder. She doesn't like fighting with pure fury; she often keeps her wits about her in a battle but, if she loses her temper, she won't hold back. She is very protective of her friends and doesn't like to see them get hurt. Cho doesn't eat constantly like her brother Choji but, when she does eat, it is a astounding amount. Cho is also a very superstitious person; she believes and puts reference on ancient tales of ghost and demons that she had heard as a child.

History: Cho grew up in her brothers' shadow (Chikaga and twin Choji). She tried to tag along with her older brother, but he wouldn't let her. Cho quickly gave up on trying to be like her older brother and set out on her own personal quest, to be a high ranked ninja in the Village of Leaf and help prevent wars. Cho never liked to fight or otherwise engage in violence, but she enjoyed fighting for fun and practice. In the ninja academy, Cho never made many friends because she was such a large kid. So instead, she focused a lot of her time of practicing her ninjutsu and taijutsu. She was always shy around boys in the academy and would often trip or mess up on something so was labeled a klutz.

Hikari's hair is indigo coloured, the same shade as Hinata as well. Hers is arranged in a spiked pattern that points downward and goes to below her waist, alike to a herringbone pattern, only slightly wide towards the ends of her body, enough so that one can see her hair behind her when looking from the front.

On the top of her head is one strain of hair that stands up compared to the rest of it. Hikari has one Byakugan and one Sharingan and white skin. Hikari wears an outfit that consists of a long sleeved coat that goes to her thighs that's white in colour and has yellow highlights on the lower ends that resemble gold vines with outlines of leaves.

The Hyūga symbol is on the upper arms of the coat. She wears her headband on her neck which now changes between the symbol for Konohagakure and the symbol for Sunagakure. Hikari wears blue pants with a small bag for shinobi equipment. She sports shinobi shoes with small heels on the back, the same to Hinata's footwear in Shippuden.

Personality: Hikari is generally not quiet and not talkative, but an average between the two. She talks in a calm demeanour and gentle voice that can pretty much mimic Hinata's. Hikari often speaks without stutter. She enjoys to have fun here and there, but also takes important matters very seriously when the time comes for it. Hikari is normally kind to anyone she meets and treats those she meets with respect, especially other Hyūga, or members of powerful clans such as the Uchiha or Senju.

Hikari enjoys to train and will do all she can to get stronger in order to keep her clan out of trouble, or if it's to protect a loved or important person to her, Hikari would fight with her life. Originally, Hikari bore a resentment to her clan. However after the Chunin Exams, she no longer holds onto such a grudge. Hikari's hobbies besides training are reading novels, specially in the romance genre and cooking new food.

Towards her clan, Hikari is mostly kind and respectful. Especially to her brother Neji and her cousin Hinata as well as all the superior higher-ups in the clan. However, if she truly believes in something, Hikari is not afraid to speak up and express her opinion. In part 2, she is shown to be truly caring for her family and will go out of her way to help them.

When Hikari is nervous, she develops Hinata's habit of stuttering from here to there. Though she stutters not so often, it does happen, such as when she first meets Ren and is embarrassed to talk with him when they have an awkward moment.

Unlike some other Hyūga, Hikari never boasts about herself because of her Hyūga clan lineage. She admits that the Hyūga is a strong clan, and that's basically the end of that. Since she has seen the power of several other clans, Uchiha, Senju, etc., she knows that the Hyūga still has major competition and therefore wants to spend much of her time trying to increase the skills she has towards her clan.

In her team, Hikari is mostly the peacekeeper of them, making sure the other two don't get into fights and always staying gentle and kind in order to resolve things. It's shown that she really cares about her teammates.

History: Hikari was born around the same time as Hinata, one year after her brother Neji. Oftenly when she grew up she was considered a very skilled shinobi like Neji was. However due to being a branch member as well as her father's death. Hikari was often bitter to the main family, going far as to hurting main branch members in training combat and often just being isolated. Her only friend was often just Neji. She attended ninja academy one year after Neji began.

Around this time, she befriended Ren Uchiha and the two became close friends. Somewhere around the age of ten or so, Hikari abandons the clan out of rage and then took refuge in Sunagakure along with Ren Uchiha and meets ? sometime before that. About two years later, Hikari and her team return to Konohagakure and take the Chunin Exams. Some time after this, Hikari encounters Neji and Hinata in deep combat and stops Neji from hurting Hinata further.

From there she expresses that she doesn't want her relationship with the clan to be like that. After a long discussion with Hiashi, Hikari rejoins the clan, however she remains loyal to Sunagakure for whenever the time calls for her.

Name: Ren Uchiha

Gender: Male

Age: 13-14 (part 1)/33-34 (next gen)

Rank: Chunin (part 1)/Jonin (next gen)

Birth Country: Hi no Kuni (Land of Fire)

Village: Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf Village)

Appearance: Ren is a fair-skinned young man with an athletic physique, dark eyes, and raven black hair. In part one, his hair is rather short with his bangs framing the his face and reaching just below his eyes. For clothing, he wears a grey t-shirt, that has the Uchiha crest on the back, with a mesh shirt underneath. Its paired with white pants, normal ninja sandals, and magenta bangles on his wrists. He wears the flak jacket over his attire and has the headband around his forehead.

In part two, Ren sports shorter hair which spikes up and still has the headband around his forehead. His attire now is a grey t-shirt with the Uchiha crest on the sleeves, paired with dark pants, mesh on his ankles, and ninja sandals. Ren still wears the flak jacket and now has mesh covering his forearms.

In next gen, not much has changed physically except now has a light stubble around his chin. On duty, Ren wears the new flak jacket over a black long-sleeved shirt with an armband sporting the Uchiha crest on his right arm. He has black pants tucked into calf-length sandals. While off duty, Ren wears a short-sleeved shirt sporting the Uchiha crest on the back paired with white pants and calf-length sandals.

Personality: Ren is a rather mild-mannered person with some charisma who is capable of showing his emotions. Some people say its hard to read him and know what he's thinking due to his many moods. When around his friends, he doesn't object to acting foolish all in good fun. Ren can be serious when the situation calls for it, and is willing to support his friends whenever they are in trouble or threatened in any way. He holds hatred for Itachi Uchiha for killing his family, but he doesn't let it cloud his mind. Ren wants Itachi caught and to pay for his crime, no matter what it may be.

As an adult, most of his personality has remained the same. He is extremely devoted and loving to his wife and daughter. Ren will always make time for his family when he is able, doing his job as father and husband without question. He often updates his family, as best he can, while on missions so they don't worry about him.

History: Ren is a member of the Uchiha Clan, with a twin brother and a younger sister. Their father had died during Kurama's attack on the village, the same attack that took the life of the 4th Hokage. Hearing their father was killed, Ren and Sojun awakened their Sharingan, being praised as 'special' for getting it at such a young age. They were able to mature their eyes further to get the full power of their Kekkei Genkai. Ren was in the same year as Lee, Neji and Tenten, with whom he had a crush on.

The night of the clan massacre, Ren's mother had caught the sight Itachi killing everyone. She set up a scroll with a Reverse Summoning formula to transport her children to the gorillas, the summon animals the family had a contract with. She could only manage to send Ren and Sojun before Itachi came into the house. His mother hid the scroll and went to take on Itachi in order to protect her daughter. In the end, both were slain. After the event had taken place, the gorillas returned the boys to the compound where they found everyone dead. Ren ran to their house and saw his mother and sister lying dead. The trauma had awaken his Mangekyo Sharingan, same with Sojun.

Ren and Sojun moved out of the compound and was placed in an apartment inside the village. They were being checked in on by a Jonin who lived nearby. When it came to being placed on Genin squads, the brothers were separated into different teams. His team took that year's Chunin Exams, to which they passed and got promoted. Since then, Ren has lead several missions, some that were successful and some that were not.

During the timeskip, Ren and Sojun had gone on a mission, which ended badly. Ren has lost both his eyes and Isui ended up in critical condition. They were retrieved by medical ninja and taken back to the hospital, where Sojun, knowing his wasn't going to make it, told the nurses to take his eyes out and give them to Ren. The eye surgery went well, but Sojun died on the operating table. Ren had now lost all his family, and spent the time recovering from the surgery locked in his apartment. Once he got through it, he returned to active duty.

Two years after the Fourth Shinobi World War, Ren married his girlfriend, Hikari. Around a year later, they had their first child and moved into a house. Ren was living a happy life with his wife and daughter, only to have it get better two years later, having a second child. He began teaching his daughter's ninja skills when they became old enough to learn. Some time after both his girls entered the academy, Ren was put in charge of a Genin squad, a role he has had for a few years now.

Name: Shikashin Nara

Gender: Male

Age: 12

Rank: Genin

Birth Country: Hi no Kuni (Land of Fire)

Village: Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf Village)

Appearance: Tall and slight, his long dark hair pulled back into the Nara style. Shikashin is quite skinny, as he frequently misses meals, normally due to lapses in attention. He wears his Leaf headband just under his hairline using it to keep the hair back from his face. His high cheekbones make his face striking, or at least it would be if he expressed more emotion. He has grey eyes, a boon from his mother. Otherwise he has the sharp face of his father.

He does take some interest in his appearance, as he appears clean and largely tidy at most times. He wears long trousers that vary between green, grey and brown depending on his mood at the time of dressing, however the brown is his most common. His shirts tend toward darker colours, normally choosing a dark grey asymmetrical shirt. As such his right arm has a long sleeve, while his left arm is left exposed.

This is partly down to when it comes to his travelling through the trees, he stands to the far left of whatever group he is in. This choice allows him to avoid being snagged by any obscure branches or the like. He also prefers going barefoot, but has been known to wear a slightly mismatched pair of sandals when the need arises. He doesn't wear socks as he finds them uncomfortable, often stopping and scratching at his feet until he can remove them.

When on missions he always wears his shoes, but when simply wandering the village he tends to go barefoot. His hair is slightly longer than the norm for a Nara son, so that even when tied back stray strands often hang down over his face. Due to his age, Shikashin has no significant scars, nor does he have birthmarks.

He does have a number of almost insignificant scars from accidents and the like as he grew. He wears a ring which displays the Clan mark, given to him by his father when he began his training at the Academy. When the weather is colder, or the rains come Shikashin barely changes his clothes. At most he'll change shirts, to one with both sleeves. He tends to avoid accessories, finding them to be just another thing to get in the way.

Personality: Distant and prone to daydreams. Prefers to avoid situations that require effort, but will still take part (if a little begrudgingly). Known for being clever and carries the Nara intelligence well, but lacks the drive to use it. Shows little direct emotion, but is by no means unfeeling. Likes to hang upside from trees and other things, claiming it helps him think. Has a surprising mastery of the Shadow Imitation technique, even at his age.

Finds studies boring, but seems to brighten up at the prospect of practical excercises. As such frequently dozes off in classes, or even skips them completely. He has been known to shift his headband to his arm, letting loose strands cover his face. When he does this he frequently loses the headband. If he wears it on his arm, and comes across a battle that he has a moment to prepare for, he shifts his headband to his head, almost like a personal ritual.

Has a direct loyalty to his clan, then to his village, meaning he often puts affairs of the Nara clan above affairs of the village. The only exception is when the village's troubles will impact on his clan. Shikashin also finds enjoyment being around the clan's deer, finding them calming. He claims they don't make him do anything, nor do they constantly badger him as he sees many people doing. He enjoys rain and snow, often going for walks in the rain or even just sitting out and watching the weather.

When he was younger he witnessed a great thunderstorm, inspiring his interest in the Lightning Releases, a direction he hopes to pursue. Shikashin has grown up surrounded by adults who viewed him as an adult himself, meaning he has knowledge and opinions unusual for someone his age. The flipside of this however, means he never really had the chance to be a child, and so generally finds his more childish desires difficult to cope with.

He desperately awaits the day he will 'grow into' his own mind, and therein hopefully acquire the peace he lacks currently. While prone to avoiding most situations, Shikashin is a clever problem solver, but it often takes him prolonged periods to get his ideas. This partly comes from his wish to think an action through carefully before committing, but also ties into his feeling that he should never rush through anything.

Shikashin is not reckless, nor is he impatient, however his methodical approach often means a five minute task can take an hour, provided it can hold his attention for that long. It does mean that when he does complete something, it is generally better thought out and less likely to fall apart than others. In a team dynamic, Shikashin works well with most people, as clashes are quickly diffused by his lack of interest.

History: Shikashin Nara was born and raised within the Village Hidden in the Leaves, and has never truly left the village. As a child he had few friends, often being seen as 'odd' by the other children, but he cared little for their opinions. His father gave him a Clan ring on his first day at the Academy, a means to both honor the momentous occasion, and to help remind Shikashin of the backing of his clan. He would often skip class, or doze off during them, preferring to spend his time wandering, or generally wasting time.

At the age of 8 he witnessed a pair of classmates arguing. He wandered over to complain about the noise they were making, when the two broke out into a proper fight. As the classes' Jonin wasn't present, the fight had little to control it. Shikashin eventually trapped his two classmates in the Shadow Imitation Technique, before forcing them to sit down. Together, the three of them waited until the Jonin arrived to find the peculiar sight.

Shikashin Nara has inherited the Nara Clan's almost trademark apathy. He finds it difficult to commit to things, or even to drudge up enough interest in a situation to show much emotion. As such when he does react, it's a sign that whatever caused the reaction is so completely out of his experience to garner the response it does. For instance, the incident when he was 8 stemmed from the disruption the argument was causing to his thinking.

At the same time however, he has taken on the intelligence, but again the apathy is his worst enemy. When he came up to take his Genin test, he passed comfortably, but didn't stand out as anything exceptional. His Chakra control was his strongest area, being able to easily replicate and use the Nara's trademark hiden techniques.

He showed a particular interest in the Shadow Imitation Technique, seeming to be his preferred technique. As such his particular battle dynamic means he tends to work best as part of a team, whose abilities complement his own. This doesn't mean he cannot work alone, as he has a general aptitude at taijutsu also. His specialty definitely lies in Ninjutsu however, whereas his tai and genjutsus appear as placeholders.

He was surprised when he found out he had inherited his father's Iron Sand ability and started to train in it straight away. Whilst in the Academy, Naruto was bullied for being different, the other children not knowing who he was related to. The bullying had played a part in his personality becoming non-existent. However, it stopped when the children who were bullying him found out that he was the son of their greatest and most powerful Kage. In fact, they came to fear him and respect him at the same time. Now, he is hopefully in his final year of the Academy and will be graduating into genin rank at the year's end.

Name: Rin Inuzuka

Gender: Female

Age: 19

Rank: Jonin / ANBU (former)

Birth Country: Hi no Kuni (Land of Fire)

Village: Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf Village)

Appearance: Rin has short caramel coloured hair that reaches her chin. Unlike most of the Inuzuka clan, she does not wear red markings. Her eyes are a beautiful jade green. Rin usually wears a green and black coloured hooded which she keeps unzipped. Under her jacket she wears a sarashi around her chest. This is paired with black shorts and a weapon/medicinal pouch on her thigh. She also carries a small red pouch with her at her waste. It's usually filled with some kind of food. Rin has a petite and athletic body. She's 5'3". She wears her headband around her arm.

Personality: Rin is a fairly easy-going optimistic person. She usually isn't seen without an impish grin on her face. She's not very lady-like, being a tomboy and will speak roughly with heavy sarcasm. She constantly teases those who she's close with. Rin's very playful and loves a good challenge or game. She's a bit stubborn and oblivious. The only time she doesn't have a cheerful attitude is when she gets serious in her fighting. She replaces it with a more bloodthirsty side. Rin's very loyal to the people she's made bonds with. She'll do anything to protect those bonds. She has a great attachment to her wolf and will never be seen without him.

History: Like all Inuzuka, Rin received a pup (Akira) when she was of a certain age. Being the daughter of the great Tsuneo Inuzuka people expected many things from her. Because of this, her parents and a few village elders made her train everyday for long gruelling hours. She got good quickly and this caught the attention of the ANBU. They recruited her at a young age and under the ANBU's training she became a stronger and more efficient ninja.

Like most ANBU who joined the organization at a young age she was trained to have no emotions. This didn't go well at first, being that she was from a somewhat wild clan and somewhat wild herself. Eventually they got to her and she became their obedient pet. When she was 18, she was sent on a mission to go protect a neighbouring country's prince. During the mission, the two became friends and he taught her about emotions. He explained what normal people reacted to and how they reacted as well as what each emotion meant.

He'd often tease her for her cluelessness on the topic. As her mission came to an end, her orders changed and she was to kill him. She refused and tried to protect him, but the other ANBU agents did the job. She was immediately sent back to the village to determine what her fate was. The current Hokage listened to her story and felt sympathetic to her. She was released from all charges that were thrown against her, but reassigned her to the regular forces as a jonin. When she joined the regular forces she spent some time in the medical field and learned some medical ninjutsu. She also gained more friends and acquired her current personality.

Fires of Hell OCs

Name: Ren Hatake (https://imgur.com/5pXU2QF)

Gender: Female

Age: 19

Birth Country: Hi no Kuni (Land of Fire)

Village: Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf Village)

Appearance: Ren has a lightly tanned complexion and long, silver hair that she keeps in a ponytail and demonic looking white eyes with black outlines. She has a slim but fit figure with average breasts that shows the lines for her muscles and wears skintight black clothing so it doesn't get in her way while fighting. She has a belt with all of her tools on it, including rolls of paper bombs and has pouches strapped to her legs. Ren wears the usual leaf shinobi uniform and has both her tanto and ninjato over her right shoulder. She has a half mask that she pulls up before combat and wears a red and white scarf. Ren also has the Akaden seal placed on her stomach, over the nexus of her chakra system.

Personality: Ren is a sly individual that always has a devious smile on her face. Much like a cat playing with a mouse she sees most of what she does as a game and she plays for keeps. She's the type of person that oozes confidence, proudly proclaiming herself ninja. She also has a playful and dirty mind, often mocking her colleagues with sexualized humor and offers to show them her breasts when she catches them looking, and will almost automatically assume two people are sleeping together if they are friendly to one another. She doesn't face serious situations as obstacles or obstructions, but rather challenges life has thrown at her as she faces them with anticipation. She has developed a fondness for explosions that could one day be her downfall, and often has the attitude of if it's worth doing it's worth overdoing.

Biography: Ren was born to a Hatake father and Inuzuka mother, which is what lead people to believe she was born with the Getsugan. While an arranged marriage meant to bring prosperity to both clans, it was actually a double fake done by her father's family. Knowing he liked and was secretly dating a woman from a very traditional clan, they arranged the faux marriage for their son, and not long after Ren was born. Normally due to the circumstances of her birth she would have probably been killed by superstitious folk, since she was born in a shinobi clan her condition had been documented in the past and she was raised with little fuss.

Always a go getter with a chipper demeanor, Ren was always known as a person who would reach farther, run faster, and climb higher to test her limits. Never satisfied until she found them, Ren excelled in both school and training, becoming a genin at age 10 and chunin at 14. After a year into her chunin life Ren decided to go and train with her summoning animal, to both test herself and try to pick up new techniques.

This training lead to fruitful discovery as her research into the summoning of both animals and masters, though as of yet no actual results have manifested, just a deeper understanding of how it works. Ren took her jonin exam a year later when she was 16 and decimated it. She was crowned jonin that day but found she'd lost something; a goal.

Having reached the highest rank Ren has just been coasting through her missions, not having any particular goals in mind, but instead just training until something comes along. Due to this Ren has found herself in a funk lately, but unbeknownst to her she has drawn the attention of the anbu black ops.

Name: Kimura Aburame

Gender: Male

Age: 13

Birth Country: Hi no Kuni (Land of Fire)

Village: Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf Village)

Appearance: Kimura is a white, fairly large for his age male. His size is just above average both in height and in weight. Kimura's face is oval shaped with a pale, smooth, spotless complexion. He has small, slanted, brown eyes with a slightly piercing stare at all times. He doesn't really let off any kind of expressions at all; in almost every situation he will just stare at the world. He has thin lips and will rarely smile, his nose is small and almost unnoticeable. His eyebrows are thin and long, Kimura will almost never change his appearance unless absolutely necessary.

Kimura Aburame has brown, bushy, spiky hair. Kimura is regularly seen sporting the same style as the rest of his clan, consisting of dark sunglasses and a sea-green jacket with a high, upturned collar. His clothes are clean and tidy at all times. His tactical vest under his jacket is almost hidden completely, also, the jacket has 2 front pockets that Kimura would place his hands most of the time, only taking them out when needed. Kimura also wears black pants with 2 front pockets and 2 back pockets, Kimura's body is mostly hidden which makes him even more mysterious. Kimura also wears black sandals and a leaf village headband on his forehead.

There will always be one small bug peeking out of Kimura's body somewhere and if you stand really close to him you will be able to hear this strange rumbling from under his clothes. Kimura's bugs, The kikaichu, are actually part of his body, they are a species of small, black, beetle-like insects that are bred and utilised exclusively by the Aburame clan, forming the basis for their unique techniques.

Personality: Kimura Aburame is a quiet, calm, collected, and solitary person. He tends to like bugs more than people and fails to understand most human emotions, though he is fascinated by it. Mostly a loner, Kimura loves collecting bugs as he feels they are so easy to understand; unlike humans, as much as he tries, Kimura feels like he will never fully understand human emotion. When fighting, Kimura always keep calm and act strategically as an Aburame usually behaves. He will also never show a facial expression even if his life depends on it. Kimura usually cares for himself and working with others is unfamiliar to him. He tends to stay away from people unless he chooses to study them. Even then he will only observe them from afar, admiring their reactions to situations.

Kimura's worst fear is water; this is due to his bugs being hurt by water and an Aburame tale of a bug user falling into a lake and dying due to his bugs leaving his body and destroying his bones in the process. Unable to move the man drowned. Kimura always listens to his commander; whether it's his dad or his teacher, he will comply. Never a leader, Kimura keeps his knowledge to himself, never sharing his life with anyone but his mother. Kimura always had the thirst for knowledge, mostly for bugs and humans. He always found the two

very interesting: bugs being very logical and instinctive and humans being irrational and having something he desires to understand, emotion.

When Kimura fights, he always listens to the Aburame code of fighting: never underestimate your opponent no matter how puny they are. Kimura fights with his mind. Using his bugs as a small army he commands, the hive mind, able to communicate with his bugs without even talking. Always trying to outsmart his opponents, he never attacks head-on and without a plan. Kimura has a lot of pride, he is very confident in himself and usually won't trust others to get the job done, if people count on him and he fails, he will be very ashamed and will feel not worthy of their company. In combat, Kimura will try and do everything himself, afraid other people will get in the way or will just be a burden.

Background: At birth Kimura, as all of his clan members, was offered to a special breed of insects such as kikaichu as a nest, residing just under their host's skin. These insects will then live in symbiosis with their host from that point on. Because of this, its members are characterised by their use of insects as weapons. Kimura loves his insects, he takes care of them and even names them as they are part of him. Kimura learned how to use his bugs from a young age, destined to be a Shinobi, Kimura trained to control his insects to use as a deadly weapon. Kimura was raised alone and was only able to interact with his clanmates, although he sometimes couldn't help but wonder how it will be like to speak to someone outside the clan.

In his early childhood, Kimura spent most of his time training, honing his skills, his father taught him everything he knows. Kimura adores his father, setting him as the prime example of how he should be like. Kimura's father, Rayo, always believed in Kimura to be one of the strongest and most advancing Aburame in the clan, Kimura knew this and always have tried to live up to his father's expectations. Kimura always wanted to become the Aburame clan leader, that was his dream, but before that he just wanted to be a great, proud Shinobi. Kimura's mother, Ianua, was always a place of comfort for him, because his father married out of love with a woman that was out of the clan, which is very unorthodox as Aburame are usually paired at birth, Ianua was different from all of the Aburame, something that Kimura noticed from a young age.

Always training and being separate from most of human contact outside the Aburame clan, Kimura didn't really have any friends being a small child, he just trained and was taught by his father. After a lot of training as a child, Rayo signed Kimura at the age of 9, when they parted ways for the first time Rayo told Kimura: "Show them what is a true Aburame". Kimura was never really a costumed for school, he just minded his own business and studied alone, his whole class didn't want to talk to him as they thought he was "creepy" due to how he dressed and acted. Kimura watched all of the other kids play, laugh, cry and couldn't help but wonder how it must feel, to run into your fathers arms laughing, he never felt that growing up, so he decided to study it, he became fascinated by human behavior. To pass time between training, he studied and found insects to add to his collection, the Aburame are known for having the biggest, richest, rarest bug collections.

Being alone most of the time and shunned by his friends, he never really had a conversation with anyone ever, except one time. he was standing in the yard looking at a bush which had some sort of red-ish insect he has never seen before, after some time, a kid came up to him saying, "What are you looking at?", Kimura turned to be surprised someone is actually talking to him, he replied, "I am not quite sure just yet", the kid seemed confused and asked him, "Do you want to play tag?", Kimura thinking the kid must be joking said, "Sure", he then proceeded by expanding his arms towards the kid, letting a small swarm of his kikaichu out towards the kid, the kid panicked and ran away from Kimura yelling, "Creepo! Freak, get away from me!", Kimura was very confused, he didn't understand why the kid acted this way, he never talked to any kids in the academy again.

After three years at the age of 12, Kimura graduated from the academy, graduating in three years is not something to be taken lightly. His father was very proud of him, "You hold the pride of the Aburame", he told him. Kimura came as close as he has ever come to understand happiness, he was now a genin, ready for battle, ready to be a Shinobi.

Name: Tsuneo Inuzuka

Gender: Male

Age: 13

Birth Country: Hi no Kuni (Land of Fire)

Village: Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf Village)

Animal: Shiranui

Appearance: Tsuneo stands at roughly four feet tall, which is an average height for a boy his age. His body type is that of a lean frame with fair skin. There are currently no blemishes of scars of any kind that are a part of his complexion. His skin tone makes it rather easy for his facial features to be seen, just as much as it would be for a facial display of embarrassment, affection, or other emotional experience that could cause discoloration in the cheeks or forehead. He is dominantly right-handed. Rumor has it that it is because he was born during a waxing crescent moon.

Tsuneo's head resembles the shape of a walnut. He has mud-coloured spiky hair that reaches his ears. Though he has shared features of the Inuzuka, it is his eyes that stray from his heritage. Tsuneo's almond-shaped eyes exhibit pupils that are cerulean instead of the usual coal black slits that can be found among his pack members. The typical red fang markings are tattooed onto his cheeks. There is also a tattoo of a silver band around Tsuneo's right forearm as a dedication to his wolf companion's silver foreleg.

Tsuneo typically wears a midnight blue long sleeved shirt, with a right free arm. Over his shirt, Tsuneo dons a black short-sleeved jacket with a silver liner. His pant legs reach just above his thighs and are black in color design, which is accented by two silver wolf paw print patterns, one each on the outside of his legs. Tsuneo only wears one fingerless black glove with a silver base on his right hand, and around his right thigh is a midnight blue tool pouch with a white wrap as a cushion. Finally, Tsuneo's attire is completed with black ninja sandals that are typically found on Genin or Ninja Academy students.

Personality:

Loyalty - Being a member of the Inuzuka clan, Tsuneo has a sense of devotion; whether it's loyalty toward friends, allies, pack members, or to his home village, it is all the same to him even if someone is not a part of his pack.

Food Lover - Tsuneo is not by any sense of the word a picky eater. Much like the canine companions of his clan, this particular Inuzuka greatly enjoys all kinds of food. Seafood, red meat, and white meat happen to be his favorites, with some vegetables thrown into the mix. His most treasured snack just happens to be takoyaki! But when Tsuneo has made an achievement or has found a reason to celebrate, you are sure to find him chowing down on sweet treats.

Animal Lover - Being raised around canines is a fundamental element to why Tsuneo has such fondness for the creatures of the earth, except for cats. He believes that cats are conniving, evil geniuses that trip people and knock precious items over just for kicks and giggles. Although this is true, the Inuzuka is open to the idea of eventually appreciating the existence of felines. While Tsuneo loves animals, it will not prevent him from hunting for survival. He respects nature and will make a prayer for any animal that he slays for nourishment.

Kind and Compassionate - Due to his upbringing, Tsuneo has fostered the desire to be kind to others whether they are appreciative or not. This Inuzuka also takes delight in helping people, especially those less fortunate in life, whether it's to perform a good deed or to protect lives. He has an understanding that all individuals start out with good in their hearts. But don't let this fool you. Tsuneo will not hesitate to judge someone for their bad deeds.

Seriousness - While Tsuneo is easy-going most of the time, he can become resolute when the time is right. There are some matters that you should just not joke about, just as there are some situations that require a level head and critical thinking. For example, a life-or-death case or a mission that has no place for such a demeanor.

Background: Normally a nomadic clan, there is a particular Inuzuka pack that calls Konohagakure their homeland. This pack that Tsuneo is a part of is named "Tsuki-pakku", or Moon Pack. While the Inuzuka clan will have domesticated dogs as their partners, this pack focuses on bonding with the canine's feral cousins; the wolves. The reasoning behind this behavior is due to stories that have been passed down within the pack from generation to generation.

It is said that in prehistoric times, early humans formed symbiotic relationships with wolves to better ensure survival. Tribe members would feed and care for their four-legged friends, and the wolves would act as sentries and guardians against the fearful wilderness. And over time, the ancient wolven ancestors would become more and more domesticated and evolve through selective breeding.

As such, members of Tsuki-pakku do not receive canines when they come of age. Instead, the pack members will travel into the wilds with those who turn the age of eight to seek out any young wolves who are willing to join their pack. Being that the pack members have the ability to speak to canines, the task was simpler than expected. Mother wolves will often be invited to join the pack with her pups to ensure everyone remains happy.

Inuzuka Tsuneo was born to Shiroashi, his mother, and Akaiashi, his father, under a waxing crescent moon at the local hospital of Konoha. As Tsuneo grew, he was taught to hunt and scavenge in different terrains as most Inuzuka members are to aid in the development of survival skills for all kinds of climates. Even at a young age, Tsuneo was somewhat proficient with different tracking techniques. He had his Inuzuka heritage to thank for that. Thanks to this, fishing has become one of his favorite pastimes.

Tsuneo decided that he wanted to begin the path of a ninja like his mother and father by his ninth birthday. Shiroashi and Akaishi were equally proud, so they assisted their son in enlisting with the Ninja Academy of Konohagakure. Tsuneo knew what sort of ninja he wanted to be; a person that would one day meet new people and help wherever he could, making the world a better place little by little.

Tsuki-pakku wasn't strict on helping members find companions at the age of eight like the other Inuzuka packs. On Tsuneo's eleventh birthday, his father planned a hunting trip in the mountains for the occasion. To Akaishi, this was a perfect opportunity to help his son find a wolf to tame. The two set out after saying their goodbyes and ensuring that preparations were made for the trip.

The journey took two full rotations to reach their destination. The full moon drifted ever-so-gently into the sky, shining its lunar light down onto the area. Once Tsuneo and Akaishi had found a decent spot to settle, they quickly set up a base camp for their supplies. They could now set off on their hunt with their supplies prepared for the trip.

Three hours came and went while the father and son tracked their prey. Soon enough, a great stag came into view. Tsuneo and Akaishi remained silent. Tsuneo exhaled gently, drew his bow, and then inhaled. He held his breath, focused on the target. He could feel his heart thumping against his ribcage like it was eager to escape with the beat ringing in his ears. Then, he released.

The arrow flew toward its prey. A pained cry echoed throughout the woods. The stag, now startled, darted away almost majestically while the bolt struck the ground where it previously stood. Although their kill just got away, the two Inuzuka members were more concerned with the anguished call they had heard. In silent agreement, they headed toward the source of the noise.

Tsuneo and his father arrived in a dimly lit field which was devoid of the forest foliage. Amidst the clearing, there was a timber wolf. It was lying in a crimson liquid that pooled underneath its shoulders. Next to it was a small, five-week-old wolf pup with white fur that shone brilliantly in the like a beacon of hope. Its ears were drooped while it attempted to help what must be its mother up off the forest floor.

'Come closer,' the Wolf spoke in a telepathic manner. Tsuneo and Akaishi were shocked, to say the least. Still, they would approach the dying female with an air of calm and compassion. Tsuneo knelt down next to the mother. "What happened?" he asked in concern. The female's emerald eyes peered into Tsuneo's, though their light was fading. 'A farmer shot me,' she responded. 'He left me here to die. I don't know how much longer I can hold on.'

Tsuneo's hands gripped the ground in grief. Tears streamed down his flustered cheeks and plopped onto the blood-stained grass. Akaishi knelt next to his son to comfort him. The she-wolf continued, 'I beg of you, look after my son.' Tsuneo nodded with conviction. "I promise," he declared. "I will take care of him to the best of my ability."

The mother wolf smiled weakly. 'Thank you.' With her last breaths, she passed away. Her newly-orphaned son reared his head back and relented a sorrowful howl to the sky. Tunseo sobbed quietly, and eventually pulled the pup into his arms. After all had been said and done, Akaishi and Tsuneo buried the mother wolf out of respect.

Tsuneo and the wolf's bond strengthened over a short period. Due to his fur coloration, the young Inuzuka named him Shiranui (white wild majesty). In order to strengthen his bond with Shiranui, Tsuneo acquired a tattoo of a silver band on his right forearm. This was to symbolize their eternal companionship. Now a Genin, Tsuneo and Shiranui will continue their course and become stronger so that they can successfully protect their friends, allies, and their village.

Name: Chihara 'Chi' Senju

Gender: Female

Age: 13

Birth Country: Hi no Kuni (Land of Fire)

Village: Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf Village)

Appearance: Family members have often said that Chihara actually holds a striking resemblance to the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju. She has dark tan skin, and solid black hair which she keeps back in a pony tail. Combine this with her brown eyes, and it is almost uncanny how much she looks like him. She stands at a height of about 4'9.

Although she may have a lean build, many of the boys in her grade have learned that her petite build hides a surprising strength for her age.

She often wears a Chinese style, white gi with her clans symbol on the back in black. She wears the gi a little strangely, because she often has the sleeves rolled up and it opened up to reveal a basic crop top shirt. She finished off her appearance with a pair of sandals, and her ninja headband tied around her forehead.

Personality: Chihara is known in her family, and the academy for having a very… aggressive personality. She likes to come off as sweet and innocent, but most people know that if you mess with her then she will unleash her anger upon you.

Even with that scary aspect, Chihara is a friendly person. Having a naturally outgoing and fun loving personality. She can get along with almost all types of people. Often being impulsive and a little stubborn. She does not have the greatest book smarts, but she hates it when people tell her that. For her to be so rambunctious, she has a surprisingly calm persona during crunch time. Her over excitement can wear on people over time, but her forceful personality usually drags them along.

Her biggest soft spot is her love of animals, literally any animals. And, her love of sweets.

Biography: Chihara was born to two diplomats of Konohagakure. They were not ninja, and so growing up, she was encouraged to stay away from the shinobi world of violence. However, since he parents were always gone, because of diplomatic missions, she was mostly raised by her grandmother. Her grandmother would tell her stories about the glory days of the Senju Clan, about Hashirama and Tobirama Senju. She would tell her about how the whole shinobi world use to view the name Senju. This inspired Chihara.

When Chi told her parents that she wanted to join the Academy, they were against it. However, Chi's stubbornness on the subject, and the backing by her grandmother eventually caused her parents to cave in.

While in the Academy, Chi was almost always near the top of her class. Her paper scores were average, but he physical exams were near the top of the class. Especially, her training in ninjutsu. She was seen as someone that would make a decent ninja, but nothing special. However, this changed when Chi discovered her ability to use Wood Release. Word quickly spread around town about her Wood Release. Something that incredibly rare in the Senju Clan, and even more rare sense the clan spread apart.

Now, the expectations on Chihara are higher, but she thinks she can do it. She is looking forward to her genin team, and then proving to the whole world that the Senju Clan still has glory days to come.
