Yoshitsune Bushida

Yoshitsune Bushida is the third Kazekage, born from the union of the Bushida Clan, a highly militaristic clan of the hidden Sand Village, Sunagakure, and the Yōrō Clan a clan renowned throughout the Land Of Wind as the best healers in the country. Despite inheriting neither clans kekkei genkai, Yoshitsune grew up to be the head of both clans with an indisputable position of power as both heirs of the clan willingly stepped down to allow him to lead the clans. Having been given multiple nicknames or titles such as, “The Honored One”, “Dante Of The Divine Sand” and most recently “The Fallen Star Of The Sand” having garnered these titles through his work as the Kazekage but also from his career as a Shinobi. 
Growing up as a member of the branch family to both clans not much was expect of him, this only grew more prevalent as he grew up and showed that he had no ability to tap into the either of the clans kekkei genkais, what he did show a prowess for was the hidden sands use of puppets and the studies of ninjutsu. Despite being pushed towards the village’s research and development department, Yoshitsune remained adamant of being shinobi. Throughout his career he proved to be dedicated beyond natural human limits and his drive was enough to impress the founder of the puppet technique, and also the former leader of the puppet brigade so much so that he was handed down a scroll containing the White Secret Technique: The Chikamatsu Collection of Ten Puppets. He was also made into a member and eventually before the age of twenty the leader of the Puppet Brigade. 
==Background==
Born as a result of a political marriage to a set of triplets, Yoshitsune Bushida was born the youngest of three boys and was called the runt of the litter due to how small he was when born, with the doctors likening his body to that of a prematurely born baby. He was born from Sunagakure’s previous Kazekage wishing to bring in the Yōrō Clan and their medical expertise to the hidden sand after seeing the number of their shinobi drop dramatically after the great Shinobi world war. To make the matters worse despite being born to these two mighty clans, his eldest brother inherited the Yōrō Clan’s kekkei genkai while the middle born son inherited the Bushida’s with Yoshitsune unable to use either one. 
In the eyes of the clans, Momotaro and his middle brother Ushiwakamaru, were hailed as the future pillars of power, their unique abilities enhancing the prestige of their respective lineages. However, Yoshitsune, with his frail physique and inability to manifest either clan's kekkei genkai, became an afterthought, overshadowed by his siblings' brilliance. This rejection left him isolated, a mere footnote in the grand tapestry of their family's legacy. Amidst the cold indifference of the clans, Yoshitsune found warmth with the embrace of his mother. Her unwavering love became his sanctuary, a refuge from the harsh judgment of the world he was born into that valued the strong. Despite the expectations placed upon her by society, she cherished Yoshitsune unconditionally, seeing beyond his perceived shortcomings to the gentle soul within.
As Yoshitsune grew, his mother's influence shaped his values and principles, instilling in him a sense of compassion and empathy that set him apart from the rigid hierarchy of the shinobi world. Her belief in his inherent worth became the foundation upon which he built his identity, guiding him through moments of doubt. In her eyes, he was not defined by his lineage or abilities, but by the depth of his character and the kindness in his heart. She loved her children equally and greatly, but with Yoshitsune reciprocating it back just as much he was given, the two seemed closer than the rest.
When Yoshitsune was six, he and his mother attended a puppet show in the Hidden Sand Village, a common form of entertainment there. During the show, a puppet dubbed him "Yoshi," a nickname that stuck. Inspired by the performance, Yoshitsune began studying puppetry, creating his own puppets and putting on shows for his mother. Despite initially doing it for fun, his mother Kyoka noticed his talent. Within a week of studying, he could effortlessly manipulate three puppets, showcasing his natural aptitude for puppeteering. Though his puppets weren't military-grade, his skill was undeniable.
Despite the disdain both clans had for him, Yoshitsune could never bring himself to hate them or resent them for it, as he understood even from an early age, the world valued the strong above all others. Still while he accepted it he couldn't help but feel hurt from it and aim to prove his worth. Entering the shinobi academy at ten, Yoshitsune's talent for puppetry immediately set him apart. Skipping the basics, he delved into advanced techniques, showcasing his innate skill and creativity. While he lacked the raw power of his siblings, his teacher noted his exceptional developmental prowess. Whether manipulating puppet joints or dissecting complex subjects, Yoshitsune displayed a unique approach. His meticulous attention to detail and ability to view things from a different perspective allowed him to excel where others faltered. This analytical mindset, coupled with his dedication to improvement, became his greatest strength as he embarked on his journey to become a shinobi worthy of admiration and respect.
Despite the academy and other figures pushing Yoshitsune towards the research and development department of the village due to his exceptional analytical skills and talent for puppetry. While he acknowledges the importance of contributing to the village's technological advancements and defense strategies, Yoshitsune feels a deep-seated pull towards the front lines, where he can directly protect his home and loved ones. This was until a week before his graduation and he would meet the then leader of the Puppet Brigade, Fumizuki. Fumizuki mentions he kept a close eye on him since he started the academy, as he did with his brothers and the rest of the genin hopefuls of his year. He mentions that while his brothers shine like stars in the night sky, Yoshitsune was as bright as the Sun itself. He didn't give Yoshitsune any special favors such as promising him a place in the puppet brigade, not even putting in a word for him, but instead he mentions that if Yoshi was debating on what path to follow, it shouldn't matter so long as he is helping the village. He then offered the young shinobi to use his personal workshop for his own puppets. 
By graduation day when he left the academy he graduated third in his class, promptly behind two of his brothers. Though they got through because of their respective kekkei genkai giving them edges, Yoshi was already capable of using both Wind and Lightning Releases at the age of thirteen, a feat not heard of without special means. While others began to say he was “just gifted” like his siblings to a lesser degree, Kyoka mentions that it was because he trained beyond what others would. Daikynhed went to the academy, train, go home and did his duties, spent his nights studying and would regularly push his chakra to its limits practicing jutsus over and over again until he would puke, waking up in the morning only to repeat for three years. 
==Personality==
==Appearance==
Yoshitsune's most distinct feature would without a doubt have to be his long silver white hair with some saying it fondly reminds them of unblemish snow white hair. This contrasts his soft tan skin that is a result of the sun from the desert kissing his skin every day. These combo of colors cross very well with and complement the cool warm yellow amber eyes he possesses, the only physical trait that he actually gained from his family bloodline, most prominently seen in his mother's side of the family. 
Yoshi has spent a great deal of his life refining his body to as ideal as a weapon or tool as it could be, his hands are rigged but not so much that they would become stiff as they needed to remain nimble enough to operate his puppets to an impressive degree. But they're rugged enough that it's been compared to being punched by solid blocks of cement by those in the receiving end. His body has been sculpted and highly trained, enduring harsh training on a daily basis as a way to enhance and assist his taijutsu. Even prominent hand to hand combat specialists mention punching him feels like assaulting a brick wall as he doesn't even move from being assaulted.
Usually Yoshitsune wears an all white robe draped over a tight all black shirt both made of fine yet tough fabric, on the back of the robe rests the crest of Sunagakure. He also wears a necklace with a simple gem talisman around his neck, the gem contains the inscription of ‘Heart Of The Sand’. He also wears white martial art pants that are tightly held up with a thick black sash.
