Clan: The Nara Clan

Looks: Roxas looks like a normal teenage boy; the one exception to that is his spiky orange hair, a trait that he has been ridiculed about for years. He is a fairly tall, lean-built person with peach skin and brown eyes. Since becoming a missing ninja he has become noticeably more muscular, as noted by his many Konoha opponents. When in his Akatsuki attire, Roxas wears standard black robe attire with red clouds and the addition of a strap across his chest. Initially it was a thick brown belt to hold his katana sheathe, but it later became a red rosary-like strap. Roxas's appearance has caused several people to notice a similarity to Konoha shinobi.

Roxas wears a large baggy robe that covers near his entire body, but exposes a fair partiality of his upper-torso area; the robe is not only made of a durable cloth material, but is also interlaced with a reinforced titanium steel alloy, making the robe even more resultant against damage. The robe has a loose heavy-hung hood on the back of the neck. The material of the robe is almost completely jet black; this is to make sure that he isn't easily seen when it is dark or he is hoping to creep up on his target. The darkness of his clothing makes it ideal for him to wear when attempting assassinations or missions of imminent secrecy. Being a member of ANBU Black Ops it is important that he not wear bright flashy clothing on missions. The robe itself is extremely baggy, offering free movement without the restriction of tight clothing.

Over this black robe Roxas wears a long white haori with a black kanji on the back for 'Infinite' referring to the enormous distances that his sword can reach. Although it does not actually reach infinitely, it is circulated as a rumor that it can. His robe has long bell sleeves, into which he hides his hands like one does with kimono sleeves. He is well known for tricking his opponents using his sleeves to conceal the movements of his hands, his attacks are usually completely unpredictable because of this. The black hilt of his infamous sword is visible sticking out from the white cloth belt around his waist. The rest of his sword is hidden by his haori, but can easily be withdrawn by his hand as needed. The haori itself is sleeveless along the arms and has a black pattern of lines and bolded circles along the bottom.

Roxas possesses two deep pockets on the two sides of his waist. These two pockets are very deep and open up to hold multiple types of things, such as weaponry and items. This is not his only means of weaponry, however, and has one small pouch to the left of his waist. This pouch is a match of another, which resides on the back of his waist, both being tan and fairly big enough to hold basic weaponry such as daggers, wire, and throwing stars. Wrapped around Gin's legs are twin stone ankle weights that weigh a little over two-hundred pounds each; despite wearing these weights, with them on, he can still move at a fairly high speed. He also wears other weights as well, training his physical fitness, he wears a black waistband beneath his cloth belt, which is actually stone weighted as well, weighing about the same weight as his ankle weights. Gim also wears weights around his wrists.

Personality: When he was only four, Roxas would always smile whenever he was with his mother and he was regularly at her side, holding her hand. Despite crying whenever he lost in karate, he started to smile again as soon as he saw Tenshi, his sister, when she came to pick him up from the dojo. Nowadays, Roxas is a stubborn, short-tempered, occasionally confrontational, spontaneous, determined, outspoken, strong-willed, impulsive young man. Despite being witty and cynical, he is shown to be genuinely compassionate and empathetic about others such as bringing an injured friend flowers or soothing others when they become doubtful. He is also extremely protective of his friends and family. This latter trait is the driving force behind many of his actions.

He attempts to maintain a detached and "cool" image, despite claiming to not care about what other people think about him. For this reason, he generally keeps his face set in an emotionless look, not showing any in depth feelings. However, despite this "uncaring" image he tries to maintain, he becomes extremely shy and uncomfortable around many women and girls, a thing that a high multitude of his friends have teased him for. He is also rather cocky and has been known to taunt and belittle his opponents when fighting. Conversely, he can also go into a state of deep depression when he loses a major battle or lets a friend down. Another thing that highly distinguishes Roxas from anyone else is his extremely analytical way of viewing things; his primary belief is that the bigs things would not exist without the little details, in which he finds focusing on the minor or minuscule details will always bring forth the 'big picture'.

Although his cocky, hot-headed, and spontaneous nature makes him only appear rather dimwitted to more composed and calculating individuals, Roxas is a highly capable analyst when required, and can instinctively catch on to most things much quicker than those around him. His natural yellow hair and rebellious disposition tend to annoy many intimidating figures, who constantly make the unwittingly stupid decision of picking a fight with him. Roxas claims that he does not care about other people's opinions about him (both in regards to his hair and other subjects), and seems to enjoy fighting people. Similarly, he is also a diligent researcher in the art of science, he constantly takes it upon himself to study the basic compounds and make-up of the atomic and molecular structure of solid materials such as steel or earth, this research helping him in the area of earth-bending.

Due to his constant fights with unintelligent passer-byers and his seemingly emotionless look, many students are rather afraid of him. Despite this, he has a warm and kind heart, defiantly looks out for those placed in his charge, and is, to a degree, quite compassionate once he understands another's point of view or opinion. This trait makes him quite likable to children and younger people. As such, he has almost never threatened or raised his voice to his friends . However, he has some trouble with authority and traditional respect, and is often quite rude and disrespectful when talking to those older than himself. Although he does not intend to be rude, he tends to call elders by nicknames such as 'gramps' and inadvertently disrespect high-ranked benders by referring to them by their first name.

Another tendency found in Roxas is his corrective personality. He tends to restate facts in a more technically correct fashion, which has earned him the title by some as a smart-ass or seen as too determined to be correct. This is not the point, however, Roxas's sole reason for correcting people's technical mistakes is to make sure everyone gets the correct idea, and do not believe what isn't necessarily true. At times, Roxas quite prefers a peaceful life of solitude, without the interference of others. He has an extremely improper social life, but is quite the strategic genius in battle; withholding the ability to conjure up plans at a moments notice, when they are most required - based on his own observations.

A few things that Roxas likes very much are fighting, training, science, and girls. Although he onlys fights if absolutely necessary, he enjoys it quite a lot. He is very well known for utilizing science when in any form of combat, this adding to his technique's lethality - because he will often combine them. What also makes him quite a foe to go up against is his creativity and imagination, which drives his high ability to combine his techniques in just the right way that makes them that much stronger. When he isn't training his butt off at the training ground or sparring a friend, he is deeply emerged in research or studying.

In contradicting of his likes, he also has some dislikes; for he is human, and every human dislikes at least something! Some of the things that he hates, which are the primary ones, would most likely be ignorance, arrogance, and bullies. Roxas is less impulsive than most people, but far more quick to anger; he is short-tempered, aggressive, and stands his ground, characteristics that had mixed in his fighting style. He can be arrogant, confident, and determined as proven in his battles, more so when he engages shinobi from the Leaf Village in a fight, proclaiming that they could not beat him no matter how many times they attempted to. When blinded with anger, he lets go of all reason and focuses on venting his anger, as seen when he continually slices at any barrier standing between himself and his enemey. His words have bite, and he isn't afraid to speak his mind. He even expressed some dislike for being compared to Konoha Shinobi early on due to his former affiliation with them.

With a devil-may-care attitude in terms of recklessness, he can be rightfully selfish in certain intervals, but not selfish enough to not, in the end, return back to Konoha willingly in understanding to defend it. Throughout his life, Roxas is presented as the type to not just let things happen, to twiddle his thumbs and wait when there's something about himself he doesn't comprehend. He constantly rebels against what he's told is his "place" and is a strongly independent individual. On the other hand, Roxas tends to be ironically melancholy and stoic, solemn and distracted, especially as he comes to realize the truth about himself, and in other points when he's confused and lost. The truth being that despite his rebellious and freedom-loving attitude about life, he still loves and cares for Konoha as his former home.

Roxas has little patience for people who seem to be bending his will or trying to confuse him. He doesn't have an extreme lust for life as well, not taking everything in with a bright outlook, but he does wish and desire one of his own with fervor. He also seems to be smarter than your average shinobi, as he is not as easily fooled by his enemies and is more likely to think his actions through unless angered. This is slightly changed when it came to the time he left the village, because unlike his former self that lacked the thorough knowledge of the outside world, Roxas learned much more about the world outside of the village. With this knowledge, he realized that Konoha wasn't exactly the greatest village there was as the people thought it to be. There were stronger villages and there were more economically sound villages.

Typically, Roxas is not the heroic type. Rather than jump out and defend his friends and others, he would much prefer to sit in the background and manipulate the two sides to his own whim. When it comes down to it, the only thing that matters in life is his own hopes and dreams. Anything standing in the way of that can easily be discarded as trash and scrap. Unnecessary waste of resources. He sees human beings as the means of obtaining his own goal. If they can not contribute to that fueled ambition then they should no longer burden his planet with their bodies. Most see him as egotistic and self-centered in this aspect. But the fact of the matter is, he does not see the world as others do. He sees himself as the only human being and everyone else simply as automatons that will be reborn with new memories once they've died, but he, however, has but one life.

Clan Information

Clan Name: Nara Clan
Clan Symbol:
Kekkei Genkai: The Nara clan (奈良一族, Nara Ichizoku) or Nara family (奈良家, Nara-ke) is known for their manipulation of shadows and tending of deer, which graze in a large area of Nara clan forest. They have kept a book with medicine preparations and effects for generations which imply they are skilled in the area of medicine. Among the medicine described in this book are the secret pills used by the Akimichi clan. In essence,
Clan History: Despite being considered geniuses, the men from this family are prone to being lazy and hard to motivate. Ironically, they tend to be attracted to stern, overbearing women. However, there appear to be other factors as well. The Nara men seem to hold women in high esteem, and as a result, willingly defer to their female partners. Shikaku Nara tells his son "Without women, men can't be born. Without women, men go to ruin. Even the hardest of women will show a sweet side to the man she loves and respects."

The Nara clan seems to have a special relationship with the Akimichi clan and Yamanaka clan. For at least two generations, members of these three families have formed an "Ino-Shika-Chō trio", named after the first part of the names of the members. The Nara members are the "Shika" in the trio. "Ino", "Shika" and "Chō" are the names of three cards needed for a highly prized trick of "Inoshikachō" in the Hanafuda.
Clan Secret Jutsu:
Name: Kage Nui - Shadow Sewing
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: N/A
Descriptions: A ninjutsu from among the Nara clan's secret techniques that uses materialised shadows to attack and bind, instead of merely immobilizing and controlling like the Shadow Imitation Technique. The user changes the shape of their shadow into several sharp needles and controls each separately. They can then attack several targets simultaneously and at the same time snatch away their ability to move by sewing them stuck with the shadow threads. Because it is a physical attack, it is impossible to capture someone without harming them, but on the other hand, since the speed of invocation and the time of duration are excellent, it can be used when urgent restraint is required.

This technique is usually used to go through the target and capture them, but depending on the opponent, it can also be used as an attack to bring them down. This special characteristic finds its greatest effect when used as logistical support. After this technique hits someone, it can then be directly transformed back into the Shadow Imitation Technique.

Name: Kage Yose no Jutsu - Shadow Gathering Technique
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: N/A
Descriptions: This is a ninjutsu using materialized shadows, but compared to the Shadow Sewing Technique from the same line, this technique places emphasis on the minute control of the shadow's movements. It is accurate enough to even make the tentacles go through tiny holes. Basically, this technique takes the user's own shadow and transforms and stretches it into countless thin tentacles, which are then used to grab objects and pull them in. Also, one can also skillfully make use of the tentacle-shaped shadow tendrils by using them to lift up and throw weapons like kunai and such. This technique has many possible applications and uses. There are no hand seals used for this technique.

Name: Kage Mane Shuriken no Jutsu - Shadow Imitation Shuriken Technique
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: N/A
Descriptions: Shikamaru invented this technique while teaching himself to use Asuma Sarutobi's trench knives. By infusing the blades with his own chakra beforehand, they are given the effect of his shadow techniques. By using these weapons to pierce the enemies' shadows, they are paralyzed in place. To pierce the shadow, it is necessary to avoid the target just barely. Since it is more difficult for the enemy to notice it, this ninjutsu compensates for the weak point of the similar Shadow Imitation Technique, being its limited effective range. It is unknown for how long this jutsu can keep its targets paralyzed, however it can be disrupted simply by the removal of the blade or by the disappearance of the opponent's shadow.

Name: Kage Mane no Jutsu - Shadow Imitation Technique
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: N/A
Descriptions: The Shadow Imitation Technique allows the user to extend their shadow for as far as it has sufficient area. Once it comes into contact with a target's shadow, the two merge and the target is forced to imitate the user's movements. Therefore, the two can throw shuriken at each other at the same time if the user desires that (of course, to prevent hurting themselves, the user just has to have the shuriken holster in a place where you don't normally have it, like the back, so that the opponent draws nothing when the user draws a shuriken). If the target is out of range, the user can produce a better light source to increase their shadow's size or rely on preexisting shadows for their shadow to freely travel through. It's also possible to split one's shadow, either to trap more opponents at once, or to create a distraction.

Name: Kage Kubi Shibari no Jutsu - Shadow Neck Bind Technique
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: N/A
Descriptions: After capturing an opponent with the Shadow Imitation Technique, the user can then further extend their shadow up to the target's throat in the shape of a hand, which chokes them to death. Also, if the Shadow Imitation Technique isn't making the opponent copy their movements, this can be used to bind opponent's body in order to restrain them. The closer the user is to their opponent, the tighter the strangle will become.

Skill Information
Rank: Akatsuki Leader
Village: Konohagakure - Akatsuki
Akatsuki (暁; Literally meaning "Dawn" or "Daybreak") is a criminal organization of S-Class missing-nin and is the most wanted group in all of the shinobi world. Their main goal was to initially collect all of the tailed beast and use them for their plot of world domination. However, this goal changed as command was relinquished to Kumori Nara once he had eliminated the leader of the Akatsuki. Their new goal is currently unknown but has little to do with the tailed beasts.

Akatsuki at any given time is composed of no more than ten primary members, all of whom were S-Class criminals of their own respective villages. Members always work in teams of two with the exception of Zetsu, who functions as the organization's spy, and make use of their unique skills to the team's advantage. Team members must function very well or at least to accomplish their task even though they have a mutual problems with each other.
Letter Rank: S
"S-rank" is a designation given to extremely powerful missing-nin, earning them a place in their village of origin's Bingo Book. Each member of Akatsuki is an S-rank criminal.

Elements:
Main: Katon - Fire Release
Katon, or Fire Element, takes the form of fire and flame attacks. These can be fire balls or extended flame throwing. Fire is typically a specialised offensive element.
Sub: Fuuton - Wind Release
Fuuton, or Wind Element, takes the form of wind based attacks. These can be huge gusts or sustained wind storms. Wind is typically a specialised offensive element, good for close to mid-range attacks.

Specialties:
Main: Ninjutsu
Ninjutsu refers to any technique that utilizes chakra and allows the user to perform actions that a normal person otherwise would be incapable of doing. Unlike genjutsu, which causes the opponent to experience illusions, the effects of ninjutsu are real. Ninjutsu relies on chakra and, most of the time, hand seals to be effective. The hands are put in sequential positions that molds and manipulates chakra in the necessary manner to perform a jutsu. This is not always needed, however, and some jutsu become second nature to experienced ninja, after which they can perform them at will. Additionally, many ninjutsu can be classified as an elemental jutsu, in those cases where a specific element (wind, water, fire, earth, lightning) is used.
Sub: Fūinjutsu
Fūinjutsu are a type of jutsu that seal objects, living beings, chakra, along with a wide variety of other things within another object. An imbalance is created when an odd-numbered seal is placed on top of an even-numbered seal and vice-versa. The shinobi from Uzushiogakure in the Land of Whirlpools were specialists in the art of fūinjutsu, to the point that they were eventually destroyed due to the fear others had of their sealing techniques.


Equipment/Jutsu

Weapons and Equipment

Quote :

Kunai x15 - This throwing knife is one of the common weapons of a ninja. It is often kept in a holster on the leg in a pouch attached to the belt. The Kunai can be used in conjunction with explosive tags and other weapons to form deadly combos.

Shurikens x15 - Another common weapon, the shuriken is often kept in a holster on the leg or in a pouch attached to the belt.

Exploding Tags x20 - The exploding note is a piece of parchment paper which has script on it that serves to faciltate its explosive properties. The ninja can attach the note to another object such as a kunai or log. When the note is set it begins a slow burn which results in a large explosion.

Exploding Pouches x15 - A variation on the exploding note, these small pouches can be attached to a target and then explode a few seconds later into an even larger explosion.

Light Bombs x10 - Kumori depends on light to be able to utilize his Kage Mane jutsu. In situations where he needs more light to cast a longer shadow, he will use these light bombs. They are marked with "hikari" meaning light.

History and RP Sample:

History: It was a cold winter night in the Hidden Leaf Village, all was silent, and all was peaceful. Not for long though, for a scream filled the area with a piercing cry. The source of this noise came from a home not to far from the Konohagakure Medical Hospital. "Hold on!" Tatsu Ichimaru, Gin's father, told his wife soothingly. "We'll get you to the hospital!" he picked her up gently, and ran out the door towards the Medical Building as fast as he could. He then body flickered into the room in front of the receptionist. "My wife is giving birth help us!" he shouted, as another piercing scream echoed through the building. The receptionist seemed to hesitate with fear before pressing a small button on the desk and a beep was heard. "A baby is coming!" she shouted, frantically as medical ninja came in with cot, placing the woman on it, and rolled her through the emergency doors. Tatsu followed his wife Nibu as the medical ninjas rolled her away. He prayed silently to himself as they prepared to remove the baby by applying anesthetics and soothing the mother.

"We're losing her!" a medical ninja shouted, now becoming nervous as a drop of sweat swelled up and dropped from his forehead. "We can only save one and kill the other!" another shouted, looking towards Tatsu. "Save...Nib..." he began, but his wife gripped his hand with strength. "Save...our son..." she told him, her eyes watering as she let out another piercing cry. "I-I Ca-a-an't..." he told her, beginning to cry as well. "Save...him" she told him, now demanding before her grip grew weak and she screamed once more, now gripping the blanket. "We need an answer now!" the medical ninja shouted. "Save...the child..." Tatsu told them, forcing out the last two words like raw meat. "Save...Gin..." he repeated as he crouched down taking his wife's hand as he caressed it gently. "Please. Take care of Pen..." she tried to say but it was too late. Her eyes sat emotionless and her face expressionless. She was now dead and the cries of a baby filled the room as the medical ninja wrapped it in a blanket and handed it to Tatsu.

He looked at the baby with loving eyes as it cried. He began to softly rub the baby's head as it stopped crying and looked back at it's father with curious eyes. "I love you..." he said, looking towards his wife as tears streamed down his face. He didn't care about anyone else's shinobi way. He would cry if he wanted to, and he needed to. He walked out of the hospital back home and placed the baby in the crib they had bought in advance. After covering up the baby and giving him a warm bottle of milk Tatsu went upstairs to his room where he lay sprayed out on the bed ready to be overcome by sleep. That day had been the worst day of his life. He lost his wife. But not only that, although he has lost a life he had also received a new one. 'His name is...Gin Nibu Ichimaru...' he thought, drifting off into the empty void of sleep. He knew that he had long days ahead of him and a bigger job. He was now a single father and he would probably have to live in an apartment unless he was able to go on more missions.

"Da-da?" Gin said, adorably. "That's right..." Tatsu told him lovingly as he picked up his infant son in his arms and cradled him gently. "I'm Da-da." he told his son, as he tickled his exposed belly. Gin was only one and a half years old and wore only a diaper as he lay in his father's arms. "Ma-ma in hee-aaven?" Gin asked, his eyes goggling as he looked past his fathers gentle and encouraging face to the pattern of the roof. "Yes. Mama in heaven." he reassured his son as he carried him outside. Many of Tatsu's friends passed by as they waved at Gin. Some stopped to hold him or play with him, or even introduce him to their pets or own children. Gin seemed to never be interested in any of it though. He would normally pay attention to everything around people, like nature, the sky, and everything that wasn't man made. He loved nature and the sweet scents of flowers and the colors of the different petals that were like sugar for his eyes. Although he yet to knew what any of this meant he was a pretty smart baby.

At the age of two he began to develop a liking for fruit. He loved how fruit could be eaten without drink because of how much moisture was in it. He especially loved cherries, tomatoes, and sometimes he could eat parts of watermelon if it wasn't too rough or hard. He was still interested in God and Heaven and about his mother and constantly asked his dead what his mother was doing. The same reply came every time "She's watching over us from heaven. She's with Jesus." Gin loved to learn and mostly enjoyed his father reading him stories about past ninjas and sometimes even make believe books of ninjas that never even really existed. He loved the stories a lot none the less. He always asked his dad if he was ever a ninja and Tatsu felt a low wave of despair as he answered. "I gave that up a while ago." Tatsu told his sun. "Why?" Gin asked, in that broken tone that only babys had. "Because I wanted to spend more time with you." Tatsu said, picking up his son and tossing him into the air before catching him skillfully in his arms. This always made Gin giggle because he enjoyed the thrill of flying.

When he was three years old he began to dream of becoming a ninja. "Daddy, I'm going to be the best ninja that ever lived! I'll even beat the Hokage himself!" Gin shouted, as he jumped around punching pillows. "No one will stand a chance against me!" and with that he kicked the pillow into the air and punched it into the wall. "I won't let anything happen to my little ninja..." Tatsu said, as he came up behind Gin and tickled him. Gin was subdued as he fell to the floor laughing as he was tickled nearly to death. Gin loved playing ninja and loved to dream. His father wanted to do anything he could to help his son achieve his dream of becoming the most powerful ninja ever, although Tatsu doubted it was possible but he believed in his son and began to train him at the young age of 6.

"Dad! I've finally got it!" Gin shouted, as he leapt into the air and spun in a complete three-sixty rotation tossing kunai and shurikens as he swirled. Every kunai and shuriken hit their bulls-eye except for two or three that hit a couple of inches off. He was now seven and very skilled with kunai and shuriken and that sort of basic weaponry. He enjoyed training with his dad and that was one of their favorite things that they did together. As Gin trained harder and harder each day he finally completely mastered the move at the age of 8 when he first began to gain his abilities, his Kekei Genkai. He was able to make his movements precise and complete the thrust and angle with such effectiveness that it was hard to miss.

Now nine years old Tatsu enrolled Gin in the academy. Gin was the only Ichimaru clan member in his class and at time he felt left out among the others. Gin loved learning new jutsus such as the academy jutsus and when he had mastered them all, which was easy for him, he graduated from the academy and finally became a Genin at the age of nine. He loved being a Genin and wore his headband as soon as he received it. His father was so proud of his son and his accomplishment and took him out to celebrate at Ichiraku's ramen shop. They ordered the usually and had a good time as they ate and talked about the future to come and how Gin wanted to one day become the Hokage.

Gin began to spend a lot of time on missions but still spent some time with his dad and some of his friends when he wasn't working hard to help out his dad. He wanted to make everything perfect and make it where they could move back into their old house. Someone was currently living it it but they planned on buying it back so Gin was saving up. His dad was saving as well from selling ninja gear. He sold shurikens, kunai, scrolls, ninja wear, and other items that were essential to a normal ninja in Konohagakure. His best seller were senbons and they were a personal favorite of Gin as well. His father always told him it wasn't the strength or size of something but the skill of the user using the item. He taught his son that honor and virtues were the most important part of life and to not dabble in money and riches but love and good always conquered evil and hatred. Gin always loved to hear what his father had to say and wanted to teach the same to his son when he grew up.

Gin was now eleven and the Chuunin Exams were coming up. He wanted so badly to win and finally be promoted to a Chuunin in his turn. It wouldn't be just' another step to achieving his goal, it would be a large step, an important step. Anything but 'just' a step. He signed up and registered as soon as the stands opened up. The line was pretty long but Gin was a very patient person and finally registered. He felt excited and couldn't wait. His anticipation was rushing through his veins with every passing day as the week ended and it was close to the first exams. He spent the last three days training as hard as he possibly could before the first test began. The first one was a written test, he had read many books on the material and has passed with a breeze. After all it wasn't that hard.

The second portion of the Chuunin exams was what he had been waiting for. The fighting. He faced off against a Hyuuga and easily defeated him and won the match, and moved on to the next portion. After defeating a regular clanless ninja in that portion after a vigorous battle, he was finally moving on to the finals. They would determine who became a Chuunin and who wouldn't. He was kind of nervous but he shook it off after remembering his past matches that flew by like a breeze. They hadn't even been hard and he doubted that this one would be any more difficult. When the day came he found out that he would be facing off against a powerful Uchiha. After intense training Gin had nearly mastered his kekei genkai abilities, and had even made his own jutsus. The match started off with his opponent winning but Gin came back easily and defeated his opponent, winning the Chuunin Exams and becoming a Chuunin.

He ran home to tell his father about what had happened and his father was so proud of him. Gin loved being a Chuunin, now instead of the boring old D rank missions he was now going on C and B rank missions. There was a lot more action and adventure and he loved practicing and training with his dad. They would even spar from time to time, his father defeating him most of the times but Gin winning occasionally. Gin couldn't believe his life. It was utterly perfect in itself. He was a success as a ninja so far and hoped that his success continued. His dream remained the same, he wanted to become Hokage and be the greatest ninja who ever lived and maybe even make Konohagakure more powerful. It was possible but doubtful. He still dreamed such dreams of these concepts though even though no one believed any of it could ever happen except his father. His father always believed in him.

After a very difficult A rank mission that had been bestowed upon Gin's agenda, Gin was promoted to highly respected and wanted rank of Jounin. All of the Jounin except for a couple were out of the village and those couple were busy so Gin was the only one left. He was the strongest Chuunin and was sent with two other Chuunin on the mission. It was a mission to retrieve information from Sunagakure and it went by smoothly and after bringing the information back to their village Gin was promoted to Jounin and not soon after that, he acquired his first team of Genin. He was now twenty-four and extremely skilled in Kenjutsu and Medical Jutsu. His father, not soon after, died by the hand of a missing ninja while out for a walk through the forest. Gin had offered to escort him but his father insisted that he went out alone, but he never returned. Not too long after this occurred, Roxas began blaming his own clan and all of the village of his father's death.

As the anger inside him rose he finally made the bigger decision of his life. He hunted down and slaughtered every single other member of the Nara Clan in the village and otherwise until he was the last one. Soon after the incident the village searched the records and found that not a single Nara was left alive. He did this in order to ensure that no other could match his power and skill and attempt to bring him back using his own abilities. He then left the village, setting out to make his own life and his own rules. With this mindset, he came across the Akatsuki and, after killing their former leader, became the newer of the latter.

RP sample: Roxas could do nothing but watch as both of his ANBU Black Ops guards were incinerated in a flurry of explosive power. The red of the explosion flashed and glared across the front of his eyes, though he was not close enough to have been effected by it's power, he had to make sure there was nothing else. Often someone would notice this to be a moment of mental weakness and attack while the Kazekage was busy with his dead comrades but Roxas was different, oh so very different. His mind was completely set on the over-all attack rather than the fact that these two idiots had died trying to miserably protect him. With a quick drop to the ground and a clap of his hands he rammed the palms of his hands into the wooden material of the floor beneath him.

The floor suddenly extended and interlocked into a dome-like defense that completely surrounded his person. With a mere few thunks Roxas realized that this had been the logical solution after all. 'Someone is trying to kill me.' he muttered, understanding that what had almost burrowed into his wooden defense were actually multiple metal projectiles. Quite possibly kunai or senbon, the usual thrown weaponry of an assassin. He sighed, his suspicions were slowly becoming confirmed in his mind as he waited a few seconds. With his hands still against the ground his defense retreated back into the panels of the wooden floor, allowing Roxas a clear view of his opponent. The weaponry projectiles that had been lodged into his defense had also been taken beneath the floor.

If she so happened to release the poison it would most likely release into the room below them, though the Kazekage still had little to no idea that they had been poisoned in the first place. He could also not say for sure that this person could even be a user of poisonous weaponry. His eyes glared at the female assassin whom he now knew to be his opponent. Not only had she lied to him and known about the explosive tags on the door knob without anyone else realizing it, but she had also touched one of the ANBU on the back when she had supposedly 'tripped'. If she truly did hold the awareness of someone able to notice minor details like the explosive notes would she not be able to keep herself from stumbling over like a drunken lunatic?

Everything was beginning to form together in his mind, he knew exactly what her plan had been. She acted as a member of the Hidden Mist's ANBU black ops in order to get his mental guard lowered at least a little before pulling those seductive actions that she seemed not too fond of. Those were the icing on the cake because they had Roxas almost completely hypnotized into believing her. She would then use the explosive tags to take out his guards then try to take him by surprise with those projectiles while he was distracted. All of it was quite a clever plan, especially telling him about the explosive notes and how it was a trap to trick him into trusting her... He sighed at all of this, it had taken him mere seconds to run all of this through his head, he was quite the genius after all. An analyst, a tactician, that is why he was so confused to have been out-witted by this rogue for so long.

With a small step forward his arm suddenly began to shift and shimmer as Roxas transmuted the molecular level of the carbon within the skin of his arm. It was gradually hardening into a material as tough as even titanium steel. "Who the hell are you and how did you ever think you'd win against me?" he asked her rather aggressively, his fist clenching and his arm flexing as he prepared for his strike. He planned to fight this rogue with a true ninja art, the art of hand-to-hand taijutsu. Some really disliked using taijutsu due to the fact that it was limited to short-range but that was exactly it's strength as well. If one possessed the incredible speed and strength to utilize taijutsu to it's fullest potential it was nearly unbeatable.

Of course he always had alchemy as a back-up plan, after all, alchemy always came in handy if he needed to use some long-range combat; however, this time he would likely just use taijutsu and minor close-range alchemy, he did not really see this woman as a great threat for she had even gone as far as screwing up her chance at a surprise attack. Actually, a surprise attack was the only way he could think of that anyone would be able to beat him with. After all, once his mind was completely on the topic at hand it was nearly impossible to trick him. His eyes narrowed in sheer contempt as he eyed the beautiful woman, she really was a sight for sore eyes but he couldn't just linger on a pretty face with an ugly heart. After all, he did love someone else anyway. Aurora... He was fighting for her and to see her one more time, at least. He could not die here and he could not die now.

He waited only seconds for her reply, he honestly didn't care what she had to say for herself. His very image merely flickered transparently as he kicked forward, becoming a mere flurry of blackness, due to his clothing and hair as he shot forward using his speed as a variable. When he got within a mere two meters of the Missing Ninja he kicked to the side and lunged a solid punch with his carbonized arm, aiming at her neck. With the strength and speed put behind it it could potentially knock her head clean off of her shoulders. However, there was also the possibility of her attempting to block it, though it would not make too much of a difference anyway on account of both his strength and titanium alloy skin working in conjunction to make the ultimate punch.
