Gorick

Sand Clone Jutsu

Gorick is a genin-level shinobi from Sunagakure and is one of two shinobi trained specifically to be the teammate of Ayano, Gaara's daughter.

## Background

Once Ayano, the daughter of Gaara in the original Life of a Shinobi, entered the academy, Gaara asked the instructor to pick out two exceptional students who would be trained to serve as her teammates.  Gorick was one of the two selected, the other being Hayate. Upon graduating from the academy, Gorick, Ayano, and Hayate were placed in Team Yuudai.

## Personality

Gorick comes off as a very stand-offish type of person. He is somewhat prejudice towards leaf shinobi, feeling that the Land of Fire is overrated and that leaf shinobi are arrogant. Nothing much is known about his relationship with his teammates, as the RP never shows them interacting with one another.

## Abilities

Gorick specializes in fuinjutsu, which are sealing and summoning techniques. Gorick is also shown using the sand clone jutsu and the transformation jutsu.

## The Life of a Shinobi

### Chapter 2

Technically, Gorick did not actually make an appearance in chapter 2. Chapter 2 covers the Chunin Exams preliminary rounds but Gorick's fight is merely mentioned with him as the victor.

### Chapters 3-4

Gorick's actually first appearance is in Chapters 3-4 during the Chunin Exams Tournament. The first battle of the tournament was Kazuma vs Gorick. Unlike his battle vs Chojin in the preliminary rounds, Kazuma actually had to put forth significant effort to defeat Gorick.

During the battle, Gorick showed his skill with the summoning jutsu. He began the fight by summoning a storm of kunai with ease, although Kazuma managed to dodge them. He then summoned Negasi, an anthropomorphic lion warrior to aid him in battle. Kazuma attacked the duo along with shadow clones, but Gorick tricked him by transforming into a sword for Negasi to use. Kazuma attacked what he believed to be the real Gorick while his clones attacked Negasi, only to find out the Gorick was actually a sand clone.

While dealing with the clones, Negasi canceled his summon, confusing the clones and leaving behind a sword. The real Gorick, posing as the sword Negasi left behind, transformed back into himself, taking the clones by surprise and killing them.

Gorick figured Kazuma still had something up his sleeve, so he pulled out his most powerful summon, Kyogus. However, Kazuma used his Yagu Shinkage Ryu: First Blade-Residual Moon, badly wounding Kyogus and Gorick. Gorick was then defeated and taken to receive medical attention.

Remote Puppet Master Jutsu

The Remote Puppet Master Jutsu allows the user to manipulate puppets without the need for chakra threads. This jutsu was invented by Bygon, a jutsu scientist from the Iwagakure who eventually left his village and was recruited into the Akatsuki.

This jutsu essentially allows the user to place a small amount of their consciousness into the puppet, allowing them to see and hear things in the puppets' vicinity even if the user is nowhere nearby. This, however, requires a significant degree of concentration from the user, thus only allowing them to control one puppet at a time.
Teleportation Jutsu

The **Teleportation Jutsu** (Romanji: ***Shunshin no Jutsu***) is a high-speed movement technique. By using the technique, a ninja can move short to long distances at an almost untraceable speed.  It is accomplished by using chakra to temporarily vitalize the body and move at extreme speeds. The amount of chakra required depends on the overall distance and elevation between the user and the intended destination. To an observer, it appears as if the user has teleported.
ShadoWind

ShadoWind was the 6th member to join the Kakashi Forum, joining on September 25th 2016. He is currently participating in the Life of a Shinobi reboot. ShadoWind is male and has no location posted.

## The Life of a Shinobi 2

ShadoWind is currently participating in the Life of a Shinobi reboot as Kaze Kakusu. He has a few other characters but they have yet to appear in the IC. ShadoWind is pretty consistent in his posting.
United Universe

United Universe is the 4th RP to start on the forum; after the rebooted Shinobi Life RP was put on hold.

## Setting

The story is set in a fictional universe where the multiverse exists within one universe; Marvel, Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, Star Wars, Nintendo, and Disney just to name a few. Earth is the focal point, as most characters from most fictional universes reside there. The variety of this RP is essentially limitless. No boundaries have been set so far but it is likely that some will have to be set in the future.

An intelligence and peacekeeping organization known as Organization M is the focus and driving force of the story. They recruit individuals from around the globe in order to deal with significant threats. All the main characters are members of of this organization.

## Plot

The plot varies from chapter to chapter. However, the general plot is that Organization M operates to protect the world from large threats, particularly the threat of domination from a group known as Organization W.

## Characters

United Universe easily has the widest cast of characters of any other RP on the forum.

Rabbits

Rabbits are semi-sentient summoning animals who have so far only been seen summoned by Leaf ninja (and former leaf ninja). In the original Life of a Shinobi, one rabbit was summoned by Danji Ushera, a former leaf ninja and member of the Akatsuki. The rabbit was simply used to help Danji track fleeing leaf ninja in chapter 6 and his name was Wanaki.

In chapter one of the Life of a Shinobi reboot, Raiku summoned two rabbits. He had each rabbit run off in a different direction with bells in order to test his genin students. The rabbits returned with the bells when the training was over. The rabbits were summoned again in chapter 2 when Raiku summons the same two rabbits to go locate his teammates.

Rabbits aren't known to possess any special techniques and are mainly used as trackers. It is possible that their senses are heightened compared to that of normal rabbits, but they have no abilities that would make them useful in battle. So far, all the rabbits that have appeared are semi-sentient.
The Land of Fire

The **Land of Fire** (火の国, *Hi no Kuni*) is one of the largest and most powerful countries in the Naruto universe, and is the home of the main characters of the series and RP. The Land of Fire was the first country to establish a ninja village, a custom other countries would soon adopt. The Land of Fire is appropriately oriented towards the element of fire, typically having very bright and warm weather and having a large number of shinobi with the fire chakra nature. While not the physically largest country, it has the largest ninja village, Konohagakure.

## The Life of a Shinobi

The Land of Fire is the main setting in both the Life of a Shinobi original and reboot.

In the original, most of the story took place in the Hidden Leaf Village. However, chapter 5 took place in Tanzaku Town, where a team organized of Sanmaru, Mugen, Kazuma, and Nani was sent to find Emeni Raite, the Four Tails Jinchuriki. After the invasion of the leaf by the Akatsuki and the Cloud village, The Land of Fire and the Land of Wind went to war with the Land of Lightning. This could essentially be considered the 5th Shinobi world war, although it was never given that name in the RP.
Gale Style: Laser Circus

The **Gale Style: Laser Circus** (Romanji: **Ranton: Reizā Sākasu**) creates several beams and shoots them at the enemy. First, a halo of bright energy spreads around the user's hands as this technique is activated, then it encircles the user's hand and from that, the beams are shot out towards the enemy. The user is able to alter the beam's direction after being shot, making it possible to strike multiple enemies with pinpoint accuracy, even bypassing hostages held in close proximity. The user can also increase the number of beams to a great amount to pin down an enemy.
Zantu Yoshamaru

Zantu Yoshamaru is a Jonin-level shinobi from Kumogakure.

## Background

Nothing is really known about Zantu's history. All that is known is that sometime several years ago, he was placed in a genin squad with Doske Getsuga and Nao Vakima.

## Personality

Zantu maintains control of his emotions. He's also a detailed thinker and will analyze every situation carefully in an effort to find the best possible course of action.  He is also very prejudice towards Leaf Ninja.  He feels they're too prideful and arrogant.

## Abilities

Zantu possesses both Water Style and Lightning style ninjutsu. It is unknown whether or not he also possess the Gale Style.

## The Life of a Shinobi

### Chapter 2

Zantu first appears in chapter 2 of the Life of a Shinobi along with his team mates in the mess hall before the Chunin Exams Preliminary rounds. Zantu and his teammates posed as genin and entered the exams as a part of Kumogakure's plan to infiltrate the leaf.

During the preliminary rounds, Zantu fought Mugen Kakusu-ken. The true extent of Zantu's abilities is unknown, as he doesn't appear to have fought at his full strength during battle. He seemed more concerned with studying Mugen to learn more about his history and strength. He even questioned Mugen about how he ended up in the leaf, as it was very clear to him that Mugen had cloud heritage.

After a brief battle, Zantu surrendered. Mugen managed to hold out against the Jonin, matching him blow for blow with taijutsu and ninjutsu. But again, it is likely that Zantu was holding back and had no intention of winning the battle. He simply did not want to continue.

### Chapters 3-4

Zantu returns towards the end of this chapter when the Kumogakure and Akatsuki invasion begins. Zantu and Doske enter the arena, flanked by other Kumo jonin, to fight Mugen and several other genin. Kaito Uzumaki comes to their rescue, killing a few of the flanking Kumo jonin. However, the fight is cut short when D transforms into Gyuki, forcing everyone to evacuate the arena. Zantu makes no further appearances in the RP, but it believed that he did at least survive the invasion and escape back to Kumogakure.
Inomi Yamanaka

Team Onsui

Yamanaka Clan

Inomi Yamanaka is a genin-level shinobi of Konohagakure's Yamanaka clan. She appears in the original Life of a Shinobi RP as the fictional daughter of Ino Yamanaka. Upon graduating from the academy, Inomi was placed in Team Onsui along with Shikaru Nara and Chojin Akimichi, making them the current generation of Ino-Shika-Cho.

## Background

Inomi actually started at the academy late because her parents did not feel she was ready to enter at the normal age. As the daughter of Ino Yamanaka, Inomi is the heir to the Yamanaka clan headship and was placed in the next generation of Ino-Shika-Cho.

## Personality

Inomi is a very shy and reserved individual. So shy, in fact, that it hindered, and continues to hinder, her ability to progress socially and as a shinobi.

## Abilities

It can be assumed that Inomi possesses the same jutsu as her mother, Ino Yamanaka. One Yamanaka clan technique she is shown using in the RP is the Chakra Hair Trap. Other than that, she is known to possess wind style chakra, shown in the RP when she created a small twister during a battle.

## The Life of a Shinobi

### Chapter 2

During the Chunin Exams Preliminary rounds, Inomi is called down for the first match. Her opponent was Zashimaru Renji. She isn't very skilled in hand to hand combat, so Zashimaru found it pretty easy to knock her around for most of the fight.

She created a twister with her wind chakra and summoned hundreds of flower petals. Zashimaru canceled out her twister with his own wind blast, scattering the petals across the arena. Quickly coming up with another plan, Inomi challenged Zashimaru to a knife fight, prompting him to run towards her. Using the Chakra Hair Trap, and the petals as a medium, Inomi managed to trap Zashimaru. Unfortunately, he managed to counter this by throwing weapons at her and transforming them into clones to attack her.

After being attacked by the clones, Inomi found herself trapped in Zashimaru's genjutsu. The apparent reality of the genjutsu caused her to faint. Rento Aya then called the fight, with Zashimaru as the winner. Inomi made no further appearances in the RP.
Nair

Nair is a snake and personal summon of Raiku Zari.

## History

As a student of Orochimaru, Sasuke Uchiha had many connections with the snakes of Ryuchi Cave and made contracts with a number of them. One of those snakes, was Nair. Once the Fourth Great Ninja War ended and Sasuke went on his journey, Sasuke developed a unique relationship with Nair compared to the other snakes. Sasuke was able to convince Nair to affiliate with Konohagakure. Nair agreed to not make contracts with any other village, but that his ultimate loyalty would remain with the Sage of Ryuchi Cave.

When Sasuke became a Jonin sensei for Konoha, his first genin squad was made up of Raiku Zari, Inori Yamanaka, and Tanzu Shiboshi. Raiku's affinity to Lightning Style led Sasuke to train him as his individual pupil. Sasuke took Raiku to Ryuchi Cave where he signed a contract with Nair. Once Raiku became a Jonin, Sasuke ended his contract with Nair, allowing Raiku to now be the sole summoner of the snake.

## Personality

Nair is calm, pretty much never showing emotion at all. He is also very subservient and loyal, willing to obey without question. He does, however, take an intelligent approach to everything. If he feels the plan is can be done better, he will usually suggest better options or go through with the plan differently than ordered.

Nair is also not very talkative and only speaks as much as necessary.

## Abilities

Nair is able to dig through the ground at great speeds. He can also sense individuals and objects who are above ground even though he cannot see, smell or hear them. These abilities together allow him to ambush prey quite easily. Even shinobi are usually caught off guard by this.

In addition, Nair produces venom. When injected into an individual, they are totally paralyzed within moments. An average human will usually remain paralyzed for about 20-30 minutes after the bite. Although not lethal, this venom certainly comes in handy for Nair's allies.

It should also be noted that Nair's venom does not effect Raiku because Sasuke made sure his students built up an immunity to venom and poisons.

## The Life of a Shinobi 2

### Chapter 2

Nair was first introduced in this chapter when Raiku summoned him during a battle with Dangan. Dangan's speed was a bit overwhelming for Raiku, so, in order to land a decent hit, he instructed Nair to paralyze him. Nair slithered into hiding, and remained hidden as Raiku and Dangan continued to fight. Eventually, as Dangan closed in for a lethal strike, Raiku gave the signal and Nair shot out of the ground to bite Dangan's heel.
Kaze Kakusu

Team Raiku

Kaze Kakusu is one of three main protagonists in The Life of a Shinobi reboot. Kaze unintentionally takes the leadership role in the new Team Raiku and is the first character on the forum to be RP'd by the member ShadoWind.

## Background

Kaze was an orphan since he was a baby, he lives at the orphanage with other children who have lost their parents. Even if he doesn't show it much, he treasures his "family" at the orphanage.

## Personality

Kaze tends to be very distant from his allies. However he is very ambitious and wishes to make the world safer for all, to help him complete his goal he trains almost nonstop or until he falls unconscious.

## Abilities

Kaze has yet to show much or any ability on missions.

## The Life of a Shinobi 2

### Chapter 1

Three genin were placed into a squad under the leadership of Raiku Zari. These three genin were Mugen Kakusu-ken, Kaze Kakusu (no connection to Mugen), and Chie Rurugen. This team was put to a test to determine how well they could work as a team. During this test, Kaze called out orders for the others to follow. However, he oddly fell threw on his own plans, always choosing to do something else rather than what he originally planned.

Despite this odd and confusing leadership, the team passed the training exam and officially became Team Raiku.

### Chapter 2

This chapter takes place approximately a month after the events of chapter one. Team Raiku is sent on a mission to deal with rebels in the Land of Vegetables. While on the mission, Raiku decides that the team (which included a shinobi from the Land of Vegetables) would split up to cover more ground. Kaze and Mugen were sent off together and were eventually engaged by Ken, one of the three rebels.

Kaze basically did not contribute to the fight at all. Although Ken was fighting both of them, Kaze simply charged chakra and made various movements with his mother's katana for the entire fight.
Water Clone Jutsu

The **Water Clone Jutsu** (Romanji: ***Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu***) is similar to the Shadow Clone Jutsu except it creates clones that are made out of water. Also, unlike shadow clones, water clones hold only one-tenth of the original person's power. Like other solid clone techniques, the clones can be used to perform tasks the user is unable or unwilling to do for themselves. The range of the clone is limited however, as it can not travel very far from the original body without losing control. Like other clone techniques, if the water clones are injured enough they will revert to normal water.
Elijah Ramu

Elijah Ramu is a wealthy businessman and a minor character in the Life of a Shinobi reboot.

## Background

Elijah doesn't have much of a background. All that is known is that he's involved with a large but unnamed company in the Land of Fire.

## Abilities

Elijah is a regular human, so he doesn't possess any special abilities.

## The Life of a Shinobi 2

### Chapter 3

Elijah appears as a primary focus in chapter 3 of the RP. In this chapter, Team Sanmaru is responsible for escorting Elijah to the Land of Water to make a business deal. Their trip through the land of fire is uneventful. It isn't until they get on board a vessel to the Land of Water that they encounter trouble.

While enjoying their quiet voyage, the ship is attacked by mercenaries sent to eliminate Elijah.
Jinchuriki

Gaara (我愛羅, Gaara) is a shinobi of Sunagakure. He was made the jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Shukaku before he was born, causing the villagers of Suna to fear him as a monster. With nobody to connect to, Gaara grew up hating the world and looking out only for himself, giving his life meaning by killing anyone he came across. After being defeated by Naruto Uzumaki — a jinchūriki like himself who found strength in his friendships — Gaara starts emulating him. He becomes Suna's Fifth Kazekage (五代目風影, Godaime

Kazekage, literally meaning: Fifth Wind Shadow) so that he can protect the village and all those who live there, dispelling the fears he cast on the villagers.
Crash Ryan 96

Crash Ryan 96 was the 3rd person to become a member on the forum, joining on March 4th 2012. Crash Ryan's

participation on the forum has been minimal, but has gradually increased since the start of the Life of a Shinobi reboot. Crash Ryan has made posts in the Life of a Shinobi RP, original and reboot, as well as the United Universe RP.

## The Life of a Shinobi

Crash Ryan RP'd as a character named Ryan Kasai, but only participated for chapter one, as his inconsistency (only 4 posts in like 2-3 months) led The Administrator and The Flow to "kick" him from the story. The number of active RPers then dropped to two until chapter 2 when Drakoblade\_13 joined the RP.

## The Life of a Shinobi 2

Crash Ryan participated in the Life of a Shinobi reboot. Although originally he wasn't invited to join, due to the other members expecting him to be very inactive like last time, he asked to join the reboot and was allowed back in. This is likely because ShadoWind, who is his BEST FRIEND in real life, decided to join this story. Although still the least active participant at the time, Crash Ryan posted much more than he had ever posted on the entire forum combined. In the reboot, Crash Ryan RP'd as Chie Rurugen.

## United Universe

Crash Ryan 96 is currently participating in the United Universe RP. Crash Ryan currently RP's as his main character, Xavier Fox Hampton, as well as a number of characters from the Sonic universe. The United Universe RP has arguably seen the most activity from Crash Ryan compared to previous stories. The first chapter is focused on Xavier, so the story is literally reliant on his participation at this time.
Mount Myōboku

**Mount Myōboku** (妙木山, *Myōbokuzan*, *Literally meaning:* Mysterious/Exquisite Tree Mountain), also known as the "Mountain of Bewilderment" (迷いの山, *Mayoi no Yama*) and the "Land of Toads" (蝦蟇の国, *Gama no Kuni*), is one of the big three unexplored sage regions, a legendary place that is equally famous as the other two, Shikkotsu Forest and Ryūchi Cave. It's the land of toads, the place where all the toads that Naruto, Minato and Jiraiya have summoned live. It is home for huge and small toads alike. Mount Myōboku is a rich and beautiful land, whose ultimate authority seems to be the Great Toad Sage. Shima and Fukasaku are both elders and sages, and they seem to have an even higher authority than Gamabunta himself.

For a human to get to Mount Myōboku, it either takes a month long travel on secret paths from Konohagakure or, if they have a summoning contract, they can let a toad use the Reverse Summoning Technique. According to Fukasaku, Mount Myōboku is impossible to find by foot for those who don't know the secret route. In the anime, Jiraiya was transported to Mount Myōboku in his youth via using the summoning technique without a contract.
D

D

D, originally named Bando Cai, is a Jonin level shinobi from Kumogakure, and the Jinchuriki of the 8 tails Gyuki.

## Background

D was given his name by the previous Raikage, who was known for giving people letters as names.  B, the previous Jinchuriki, found himself with a terminal illness and was forced to give up the 8 tails to his best student, Bando.  However, his skills as a shinobi were excellent.  Now as a grown man, D serves directly under the current Raikage, Anon.

## Personality

Unlike A or B, D was always very quiet and introverted.

## Abilities

Nothing is really known about D's abilities except that he has Lightning Style chakra. However, as a jinchuriki, he is able to use some of Gyuki's abilities even without transforming.

## The Life of a Shinobi

### Chapters 3-4

D makes his debut during the Chunin Exams tournament. He walks around searching for the nine tails jinchuriki, Kitsune Kasai, by order of Anon. Once he locates Kitsune, the invasion begins and all hell breaks lose inside and outside the arena.

Kitsune traps D in a chakra cage but it only holds him for a few moments. D transforms into Gyuki, obliterating the cage and beginning to demolish the arena. In order to avoid further collateral damage, Kitsune using the Flying Thunder God jutsu to teleport Gyuki outside of Konohagakure and finish the fight there.

Once outside, Kitsune summoned Gamakichi to aid him in battle. Even with the giant toad to aid him, Kitsune struggled to manage the massive beast but was able to avoid any serious blows. Eventually, the Akatsuki member Danji Ushera arrived on scene and trapped Kitsune and Gamakichi in the Earth Style: Buta Futa.

Shortly after, Sanmaru Nara, Konohamaru Sarutobi, and several anbu arrived on scene to join the battle. Neither side ended up trul

y winning as Danji and Gyuki fled after receiving word that Anon had been defeated and the invasion was a failure. D makes no further appearances in the RP.
Mukuro Mizuryū

Lightning Dragon Tornado

Hell Stab

Lightning Style Armour

Lightning Style: Electromagnetic Murder

Rising Bomber

Mukuro Mizuryū is a Jonin-level freelance mercenary from Kirigakure.

## Background

Kiseki’s younger brother, Mukuro was known for his ability to kill since he was a child. His brother keeps a close eye on him do to his blood thirsty nature and only allows him to kill when necessary.

## Personality

Mukuro is an unstable and merciless with a love for mass murder and chaos.

## Abilities

Mukuro uses a unique weapon known as a rope dart. He is also unique among ninja from the Land of Water with a chakra nature of Lightning.

## The Life of a Shinobi 2

### Chapter 3

Mukuro first appears in this chapter. Team Sanmaru is escorting Elijah Ramu to the Land of Water and they are attacked while on a boat. The boat is attacked by a gang of pirates led by Gantaco's mercenary squad. Mukuro and Zaku are the first two to jump on board.

During the battle, Mukuro manages to kill two of Elijah's body guards, but Elijah and the other two guards escape to the lower deck. Sanmaru and Kumori keep Mukuro at bay while the genin fight Zaku. Kamiko lands a kick on Zaku's head, making him very angry. Acting on impulse, he uses the Water Style: Giant Vortex Jutsu and washes everyone off deck.

Kumori and the leaf ninja manage to grab onto the side of the boat and get back on deck. Furious, Zaku reengages the genin, only to be outsmarted and set ablaze by Renji's fireball jutsu. Zaku then flees into the sea. Mukuro continues to make trouble for the leaf ninja with his rope dart, and his brother Kiseki soon joins the fight. Kumori takes on Kiseki while Sanmaru takes on Mukuro.

Mukuro shot lightning bolts at Sanmaru. Sanmaru managed to dodge the attack, analyzing Mukuro's fighting style the entire time. Sanmaru used the Fire Style: Art of Hiding in Ash Jutsu to create a hot smoke screen. The hyper Mukuro dashed through the smoke with his Rising Bomber, seeming almost unfazed by the burns.

Sanmaru blocked the oncoming attack and winced in pain as he was knocked back. Mukuro then attempted to strike Sanmaru with his sword but his movement came to a sudden halt. Sanmaru had used a cloud of smoke to extend his shadow and catch Mukuro in the Shadow Possession Jutsu. With Mukuro now under his control, Sanmaru made Mukuro stab himself with his blade, killing him.
List of Summons

This is a list of all the animals and creatures that have been summoned in The Life of a Shinobi original RP and reboot. It should be noted that summoning animals are different than regular animals in that they are all sentient or semi-sentient. This means that, like humans, they have high self-awareness, allowing them genuinely fear, love, hate, be arrogant, have significant relationships, and contemplate their existence and reality. Also, unlike regular animals, they can communicate with human beings. Sentients can actually speak human language and their animal instincts are almost non-existent. Semi-sentients still maintain many animal instincts and cannot speak human language. However, they can clearly understand human language.

Non-animal summons are not all necessarily sentient. Some are not even alive and maintain a life-like appearance only through chakra.

Akira Kakusu-ken

Kakusu-ken Clan

Akira Kakusu-ken is a chunin-level kunoichi of Konohagakure. Akira appears as the older sister of Mugen Kakusu-ken in both the original and reboot of The Life of a Shinobi.

## Background

Akira was born in the Land of Lightning and immigrated to the Land of Fire with her family when she was young.  Through some unfortunate circumstances, Akira and Mugen became orphans and were taken in by the Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki, until they could live on their own.

## Personality

Akira has a very tough and level-headed personality. She cares strongly for those she is close but can also be aggressive at times. Akira is also one of the more intimidating females in the RP. This is hinted at when Kazuma (in his thoughts) refers to her as "scary." It is also clear that Akira is very protective of her brother Mugen.

## The Life of a Shinobi

### Chapter 2

Akira makes her first appearance during Chapter 2. As all the genin prepare to start the preliminary rounds of the Chunin Exams, they wait in the mess hall. Akira and Kaito enter the room to talk with Mugen and the others. Akira and Kaito are then spectators throughout the rest of preliminary rounds.

### Chapters 3-4

During the Chunin Exams tournament, Akira and Kaito make brief appearance. They are both watching the tournament and helping with security. It is unknown what exactly Akira was doing during the invasion.

### Chapter 6

For this chapter, Akira and Kaito were sent to Kusagakure to convince its' jinchuriki to come to Konoha for protection against the Akatsuki. The Kusakage was unwilling to let Mao, the Jinchuriki, leave in the midst of their village's civil war. Akira and Kaito agreed to deal with the threat so that Mao could come to Konoha with them. Akira, Kaito, Mao, and her bodyguard, Jo Feng, headed in the direction of the enemy.

The enemy faction was the Yigonists. The Yigonists were an extremist religious group bent on taking control of Kusagakure. They performed strange rituals on their adherents in order to transform them into super shinobi. Akira and the gang encountered two of these Yigonists. Akira, Mao, and Jo Feng fought the Yigonists while Kaito was forced to deal with a random masked stranger who attacked them.

The gang managed to defeat the two Yigonists, but were then attacked by three members of the Akatsuki. The ensuing battle was never finished, as the RP ended abruptly before the chapter could be completed.

## The Life of a Shinobi 2

At the beginning of chapter 2, Sanmaru meets with Raiku at Ichiraku Ramen to tell him about a mission. During their conversation, Akira shows up suddenly. Sanmaru appears to be a bit annoyed by her sudden appearance but keeps it to himself. Akira mentions that she wants Mugen to be taken care of and Raiku assures her that Mugen will be alright.

Raiku then asks her to notify his team of the mission and she heads off to do so. She meets up with Mugen, Chie, and Kaze later and tells them to meet up with Raiku for their first mission tomorrow morning.
Water Prison Jutsu

The **Water Prison Jutsu** (Romanji: ***Suirō no Jutsu***) is a technique used to trap a victim inside a virtually inescapable sphere of water. The only downside to this technique is that the user must keep at least one arm inside the sphere at all times in order for the victim to remain imprisoned. This technique requires a sufficient amount of water, which can be provided by expelling it from one's mouth. Once trapped the target is unable to move or breathe while within it due to the heaviness of the water. Because of the density of the water it can be used, to a limited extent, for defensive purposes if performed on oneself. It can also be stored in scrolls as traps.
Nao Vakima

Nao Vakima is a minor antagonist who appears in the Life of a Shinobi original RP. Unfortunately, whatever site her picture was originally taken from no longer has the picture available. So the picture could not be recovered to place on this site.

## Background

Secretly a jonin, Nao is a member of a team consisting of herself, Doske Getsuga, and Zantu Yoshamaru. Posing as genin, their team participating in the Chunin Exams. Nothing else is really known about Nao's history prior to the start of the RP.

## Personality

Nothing is really known of Nao's personality

## Abilities

Nao is shown to possess the Gale Style Kekkei Genkai, meaning she also possesses the Lightning style and Water style chakra natures. Her appearances in the RP are brief, but she is shown using the Gale Style: Laser Circus against Ayano during the Chunin Exams Tournament.

## The Life of a Shinobi

### Chapter 2

Nao had no dialogue in this chapter. She merely appeared alongside Doske during their encounter with the genin in the mess hall before the preliminary rounds. Her battle during the preliminary rounds was not shown, but was listed along with others to show the winners and losers. The list shows that Nao fought Eren Kyokotsu and won. Nothing is known about this fight accept that Eren survived.

### Chapters 3-4

For the Chunin Exams tournament, Nao fought Ayano. Nao began the battle by tossing explosive kunai at Ayano. Ayano countered the attack by grabbing the kunai with sand and tossing them back before they exploded. Nao narrowly avoided the explosion and followed up by shooting Ayano with her Gale Style: Laser Circus.

Ayano defended against the attack by using the Shukaku Shield to absorb the blasts. After defending against the attack, Ayano threw clumps of sand in Nao's direction, but none of them hit her. Nao was surprised by Ayano's lack of accuracy and laughed, but surprisingly the sand wasn't actually meant to hit her.

With Nao's guard down, the clumps of sand jumped off the ground and grabbed onto her body. The sand engulfed her body and Ayano began to lift her into the air. Nao began to scream, but before she could verbally surrender, Ayano crushed her with the Sand Coffin technique, instantly killing her. The chilling scene showed the first death to take place in the RP.
Aydo Katama

Aydo Katama is a character in the Life of a Shinobi reboot, serving as both the Daimyo of the Land of Vegetables and the head of the Katama clan.

## Background

Aydo Katama is the son of the previous head of the Katama clan who was also the previous Daimyo. During a civil war the Daimyo was killed, automatically making Aydo the head of the clan. He was selected to be the Daimyo as well soon after. At some point before he became the Daimyo, Aydo married Wanda Katama.

## Personality

War and the loss of his father have made Aydo a bit stern and rough around the edges, but he cares deeply for the people of his nation.

## Abilities

Nothing is really known about Aydo's abilities except that he possesses the wind style chakra nature.

## The Life of a Shinobi 2

### Chapter 2

Aydo makes his debut in chapter 2, when Team Raiku travels to the Land of Vegetables for a rescue mission. While meeting with the members of the team for a meal, an explosive is set off in the room by the rebel faction, injuring Aydo. Aydo is rushed to the hospital for medical attention.

Aydo's final appearance in this chapter is at the end when Team Raiku returns to the capitol with his rescued wife Wanda.
Ryan Kasai

Team Raiku

Ryan Kasai is one of the founding characters in the Life of a Shinobi RP. Introduced in Chapter 1, Ryan was a new genin placed on Team Raiku along with Mugen Kakusu-ken and Kaori Yamanaka. Ryan Kasai was RP'd by Crash Ryan 96.

## Background

Very little is known about Ryan's history. What is known is that he made a name for himself as the class clown in the academy, and his fiery attitude along with his fire style ninjutsu got him the nickname "Spit fire." Ryan is also one of the few kids in the Leaf Village that uses roller blades.

## Personality

From the little time he appears in the Life of a Shinobi RP, Ryan comes across as a naive, immature, and as the background suggests, he has a "fiery attitude." In the Remastered Chapter 1 of The Life of a Shinobi, Ryan's character is given more depth, with personality traits like silliness, cockiness, and impulsiveness becoming apparent. Ryan is also kind of spacey and doesn't follow instructions well.

In chapter 1 of The Life of a Shinobi, Ryan describes himself as hyperactive, easy going, and laid back; the second two almost being the exact same thing and seemingly conflicting with the first one.

## Abilities

Due to Ryan's brief time in the Life of a Shinobi RP, he didn't show any special techniques beyond common ninja skills like speed, walking on walls, etc. However, in the Remastered Chapter 1, he did use the Fire Ball Jutsu against Raiku.

## The Life of a Shinobi Chapter 1

Due to Crash Ryan 96's inactivity, he was he kicked from the RP and his character removed from the story in order for the story to progress. His character's participation was minimal, with a total of 2 posts in the entire IC. The only thing Ryan Kasai did in this chapter was respond to Raiku when asked to introduce himself. Raiku asked Mugen, Kaori, and Ryan to each give him their name, hobbie, and a word to describe them. Ryan replied, but gave several words to describe himself, totally ignoring the request of ONE word. Raiku mentally sighs, as Ryan failed to properly follow the simple directions of the request.

Throughout the training exercise, Ryan didn't participate. He merely suggested that he could keep Raiku busy on his own because he was hyperactive and could keep up with Raiku's speed. Once the exercise was over, Raiku decided that only Mugen and Kaori would pass since Ryan was not a good teammate or ninja. He was sent back to the academy and Team Raiku remained short one man for the remainder of the RP. In the Remastered version, Ryan promises to take his shinobi training more seriously in the academy and return to Team Raiku as a teammate they could count on.

### Chapters 3-4

Ryan Kasai did make a brief appearance in Chapters 3-4 when him and Raiku Zari attended the Chunin Exams tournament. He spoke one line, asking "What just happened?" when Gorick used a tricky move against Kazuma. For this brief time, Ryan was RP'd by The Administrator.
Lightning Style Armour

The **Lightning Style Armour** (Romanji**: *Raiton Chakura Mōdo***) is a heightened physical state utilised by the Third and Fourth Raikage in the anime and by a small number of lightning style users in the Life of a Shinobi original and reboot.

With this technique, the user wraps their body in a layer of lightning chakra which, instead of being used offensively, is used to electrically stimulate their nervous system. The technique speeds up neural synapses reaction time, and pushes physical prowess to the absolute limit allowing for tremendous raw speed. The technique has different levels of activation each visibly depicted by the users hair which stands up when the technique is activated to the fullest. The higher the level, the higher the speed the user can achieve.
Amaru Gachi

Team Inori

Gale/Storm

Amaru Gachi is a minor character in the Life of a Shinobi RP and is a member of Team Inori. Technically Amaru never actually appears IC and is merely mentioned. Because the Administrator was RPing several characters, he decided not to RP all of their fights during the Chunin Exams Preliminaries. Instead the combatants were merely listed and winners and losers were shown.

## Background

Amaru is a shinobi born of a mother from the Leaf Village and a father from the Cloud Village.  Amaru's mother was gang rapped while on a mission and became pregnant.  She chose to keep the child.

Amaru possesses the Gale Style kekkei genkai through his father's bloodline, and is only the second person in Hidden Leaf history to possess it. Upon graduating from the academy, Amaru was placed in Team Inori along with Lien Sogyo and Nani Aburame.

## Abilities

Amaru never actually had an IC appearance, but it is known that he possesses the Gale Style kekkei genkai. Due to the gale style kekkei genkai being so rare in Konoha, it is unknown what jutsu Amaru would have learned which could actually utilize said chakra nature.

## The Life of a Shinobi

In the Chunin Exams Preliminary rounds, Amaru was mentioned as one of the combatants. A list of battles and the winners and losers of those battles was shown. Amaru was listed as having fought Gorick of the Hidden Sand Village and Gorick was the victor. We know absolutely nothing about this fight except that Amaru survived.
Jo Feng

Jo Fang is a Jonin level shinobi of the Hidden Grass Village.  Jo serves as the body guard of the seven-tails Jinchuriki, Mao Miyazaki, and is a master of the flower ninja arts.

## The Life of a Shinobi

In Chapter 6 of the Life of a Shinobi, Jo Feng and Mao Miyazaki accompany Kaito and Akira of the leaf on a mission to deal with the Yigonists; a religious extremist group threatening Kusagakure. After being engaged by two Yigonists, Sashren and Kuhika, Kaito is separated from the group by an assassin, leaving Mao, Jo, and Akira to deal with the Yigonists.

Jo is clearly outmatched by the Yigonist Kuhika, failing to even scratch her and getting his arm dislocated. As the battle progressed, the Yigonists were eventually defeated, but were then replaced by the Akatsuki and the assassin that Kaito thought he had defeated. The leaf ninja dealt with the enemies while Jo Feng and Mao escaped. Danji eventually caught up with them and began fighting Jo Feng while Mao escaped. The leaf ninja eventually arrived to save Jo, while the akatsuki and the assassin caught up soon after. This battle never ended, as the RP came to an end.
Chie Rurugen

Team Raiku

Water Style: Syrup Trap

Water Clone Jutsu

Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu

Water Style: Water Wall

Water Style: Water Shuriken

Water Style: Mouth Shot

Chie Rurugen is a shinobi of the Hidden Leaf and one of the three main protagonists in the Life of a Shinobi reboot. Chie is a member of Team Raiku and is RP'd by Crash Ryan 96.

## Background

Chie is the only ninja in her family due to her father being a blacksmith and her mother being the owner of a ramen shop. In early childhood she was known as a tomboy who had a decent knowledge of weaponry. In school she was a model student receiving A’s and B’s from teachers. In her free time she likes to try to make knives as a novice in the arts of blacksmithing, she likes to use a dartboard as target practice, and adores long strolls.

## Abilities

Chie relies highly on water based ninjutsu. She has yet to be shown utilizing any taijutsu, genjutsu, or weapon based attacks.

## The Life of a Shinobi 2

With the announcement of a new Life of a Shinobi story, Crash Ryan 96 decided to return to the forum. Instead of bringing back his former character, Ryan Kasai, Crash Ryan chose to create a new character named Chie.

### Chapter 1

In chapter one, the new genin team made of Mugen Kakusu-ken, Kaze Kakusu (no connection to Mugen), and Chie Rurugen was put to the test. Their sensei, Raiku Zari, wanted to test their team work by challenging them to obtain two bells from him. The catch was that only a person with a bell could pass, meaning only two people max would be passing.

Chie assisted her team during the test, by using her Syrup Trap to limit Raiku's movement as best as she could. Towards the end of the test, Chie was kicked in the face by Raiku and briefly knocked unconscious. Raiku soon informed the students that they had all passed and that the bells were simply to encourage team work. Chie may have gotten a bloody nose but she was happy to pass and Raiku treated his new squad to Ichiraku Ramen afterwards.

### Chapter 2

This chapter involved Team Raiku going on their first mission. The mission was to travel to the land of vegetables and rescue the daimyo's wife from some rebels. Chie was mostly quiet throughout the beginning of the chapter, clearly seen when the the rebels set off an explosion in the dining hall and Chie gave absolutely no response.

When the team headed towards the last known whereabouts of the rebels, they split into teams with Kaita and Chie being one of them. Not long after separating, Chie and Kaita were attacked by Yu, one of the three rebels. It started off with Chie being dazed and Yu fighting Kaita. Yu managed to subdue Kaita, leaving Chie to fight the ninja on her own.

Yu managed to counter all of Chie's moves during the fight, and it seemed as if he was going to defeat her. However, using the last bit of chakra she had left, Chie created a water clone using her Syrup Trap jutsu. The clone attacked Yu, and when Yu punched it, the clone returned to its' sticky liquid form, trapping Yu. Chie seized this opportunity to strike Yu in the heart with her kunai, killing him. Chie proudly named this move, the Sticky Clone Jutsu.
Shadow Clone Jutsu

The **Shadow Clone Justu** (Romanji: ***Kage Bunshin no Jutsu***) is a technique developed by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

Similar to the basic Clone Justu, this technique creates copies of the user. However, these clones are real instead of illusions. The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power. The clones are capable of performing techniques, including the Shadow Clone Jutsu itself, on their own and can even bleed, but will usually disperse after hit by a strong enough force. The clones can also disperse on their own or be dispelled by the user of the technique.

With the exception of Madara Uchiha, whose mastery of the Rinnegan allowed him to tell a clone from the original, shadow clones can't be distinguished from the original with the Sharingan, Byakugan, Rinnegan or even Rinne Sharingan. Shadow clones also seem to be able to think for themselves and feel the original's pain to some extent, as evidenced by Naruto's clones feeling pain when the Nine-Tails' cloak awakened while he and Kakashi were fighting Deidara. Despite being separated, clones still bear connections with their original.

Tasks which require great concentration restrict the number of usable clones, and changes in the nature of the original's chakra signature will cause the chakra of the clones to resonate similarly.
Water Style: Water Wall

The **Water Style: Water Wall** (Romanji: ***Suiton: Suijinheki***) is a defensive technique that creates a wall of water around the user. Enemy attacks are completely intercepted by a fence of water blown out from the mouth, and is raised from below with tremendous might. The water is blown out in the form of a circle around the user, and it makes for a defence without openings. It is also possible for the user to control the amount of water and duration at will. The wall's strength and resistance change following the quantity of chakra poured down into the water, so a skilful shinobi will be able to build a sturdy one. Furthermore, because the field of vision is maintained even while defending one can easily go on to the next move, which is a great advantage. The wall can also be formed from a pre-existing water source.
