Yoshino

Yoshino is a minor character who appears in chapter 2 of the Life of a Shinobi reboot.

## Background

Nothing is really known of Yoshino's background. It can be assumed that her family has some money considering they are traveling on an expensive vessel.

## Personality

Yoshino appears a bit more shy and reserved when first talking with Renji, but it is soon revealed that she's more outgoing when she gets to talk with Kazuma.

## Abilities

Yoshino is just a regular human and doesn't possess any special abilities.

## The Life of a Shinobi 2

### Chapter 3

Yoshino first appears when Team Sanmaru is traveling to the Land of Water on an escort mission. They ride across the sea on a public ship and Yoshino and her father are some of the passengers. While Sanmaru watches over Elijah above deck, the genin of Team Sanmaru hang out below deck.

While Yoshino's father is away at the bathroom, Renji notices Yoshino and walks over to introduce himself. She becomes interested in Kazuma and begins talking with him while mostly ignoring Renji. Kamiko goes to the upper deck during their discussion and Kazuma and Renji eventually follow her. Yoshino decides to follow them to the upper deck and is surprised to see they are being attacked by pirates.

Yoshino gets washed off deck and into the water when Zaku Matemishi uses his Water Style: Giant Vortex Jutsu. She would have drowned, but Kazuma jumped in and saved her, returning her to the deck and instructing her to go down below with the other passengers.
Kamiko Chinoike

Team Sanmaru

Kamiko is a genin-level shinobi of Konohagakure and appears as a member of Team Sanmaru in the Life of a Shinobi reboot.

## Background

Kamiko originally came from The Hidden Cloud Village, but resided shortly in the Land of Hot Water as part of rite of passage by learning about her clan's heritage. At some point, she moved to Konohagakure and entered the academy. Upon graduation, Kamiko was placed in Team Sanmaru along with Kazuma Ryuuga and Renji Zashimaru.

## Personality

Kamiko seems to have a personality exactly like Sakura except a little more aggressive.

## Abilities

Kamiko has yet to show any special techniques in the RP, but she likely has quite a few considering her chakra natures of Water, Lightning and Yin.  Like her teammates, she has a bit of an affinity for weapons, often using it in her fighting style; however, out of the three she's the strongest user of genjutsu and nintaijutsu, the latter making her the team's brawler. As being part of the red-eyed Chinoike Clan, Kamiko possesses the unique and mysterious kekki genkai, the Kerryūgan.

## The Life of a Shinobi 2

### Chapter 3

This chapter introduced Team Sanmaru. Although Sanmaru himself made his first appearance in the previous chapter, the whole team had not been seen till chapter 3. The team was sent on an escort mission for a wealthy businessman from the Land of Fire named Elijah Ramu. He was traveling via public ship to the Land of Water for an important meeting.

While at sea, the boat was attacked by mercenaries sent to kill Elijah. Two of the mercenaries boarded the ship right away and began fighting the team.
Kusagakure

**Kusagakure** (草隠れの里, *Kusagakure no Sato*, *Literally meaning:* Village Hidden in the Grass) is located thus far in an unnamed country. Because it had genin participating in the Chūnin Exams organised by Konohagakure, it can be assumed the two villages are allied. Although it has never been named, the country Kusagakure is located in has been shown on several occasions. The country is rich with forests, some consisting of giant mushrooms or bamboo. It also seems to have many rivers and deep ravines.

During the Third Shinobi World War, the country was invaded by Iwagakure and served as an important front between Iwa and Konoha. More than a decade later, Orochimaru had a hideout somewhere in the country.

Kusagakure is skilled in diplomacy, a trait they constantly use to read the movements of other countries and stay one step ahead of them. They also analyse techniques from other villages in a similar manner. Because of these principles, others find it hard to read the shinobi from this village's attitudes. After the end of the Fourth Shinobi World War, Kusagakure was approached and offered to join the Shinobi Union.

## The Life of a Shinobi

Kusagakure made an appearance as the primary setting of Chapter 6. Akira Kakusu-ken and Kaito Uzumaki were sent to the village to convince their jinchuriki to come to Konoha for protection from the Akatsuki. Because Kusagakure was dealing with a small civil war, Yori Mabori, the Kusakage, was unwilling to let the jinchuriki leave. Because of that, Akira and Kaito agreed to assist Kusagakure in defeating their enemies so that they could take Mao Miyazaki, the jinchuriki, back with them to Konoha. The RP ended in the middle of this chapter, so no further information is available.
Kitsune Kasai

Born in the Leaf Village to an anbu mother; Kitsune was trained to be the best shinobi in the village. One day on a top secret mission, Kitsune was betrayed by his best friend and was almost killed. He was saved by Sakura Haruno who brought him to Naruto. Naruto decided to train the boy with his son and Akira Kakusu-ken by putting them together as a team. When Naruto died in battle, Kitsune willingly became the Jinchuriki to keep Kaito and Hizana from bearing the burden

Kitsune is a skilled leaf shinobi with a variety of different jutsu. He is proficient in the summoning Jutsu, as well as the famed technique of the Second Hokage, the Flying Thunder God Jutsu.

## The Life of a Shinobi

Kitsune makes a brief appearance in this chapter when he talks with Akira about being cautious and keeping her eyes open during the Chunin Exams Tournament. Both of them are suspicious of the Cloud ninja and want to be ready for anything.

### Chapters 3-4

During this chapter, Kitsune is head of security for the tournament. When the invasion begins, D, the eight tails jinchuriki, transforms into Gyuki and begins wrecking havoc in the arena. Kitsune uses the Flying Thunder God Jutsu to teleport him outside of the village.

Kitsune and Gyuki then engage in battle. Kitsune summons Gamakichi to aid him in the fight. Danji, a member of the Akatsuki, eventually arrives on scene to assist Gyuki. Danji soon traps Kitsune and Gyuki just moments before Sanmaru, Konohamaru, and a few anbu arrive on scene.
Earth Style Barrier: Earth Dome Prison

The **Earth Style Barrier: Earth Dome Prison** (Romanji: ***Doton Kekkai: Dorō Dōmu***) is a technique that traps the victims inside a self-repairing dome of earth which is almost instantaneously able to reform, even after Kiba hit it with his Passing Fang. Jirōbō was able to absorb the chakra of anyone trapped inside, something he enjoyed greatly. However, Jirōbō's chakra was not evenly distributed throughout the dome. Near the back, relative to him, his chakra was much weaker, making the dome weaker in that spot.
Hell Stab

The **Hell Stab** (Romanji: ***Jigokuzuki***) is the strongest technique of the Third Raikage, whereby he concentrates a considerable amount of lightning chakra into just the finger-tips of a single hand and then performs a thrusting motion, which together allows him to pierce a target in a manner somewhat similar to the Chidori.

No other characters in the anime were seen using this technique. However, in the original Life of a Shinobi RP, The Fifth Raikage is shown using this technique.
Hizana Uzumaki

Kaito Uzumaki (brother)

Team Sanmaru

Hyuga Clan

Gentle Fist

Byakugan

Rasengan

Hizana Uzumaki is a genin-level shinobi of Konohagakure and appears in the Life of a Shinobi original RP.

## Background

Hizana is the non-canon daughter of Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga. To this day, Hizana still grieves her fathers death, as it only happened a few years ago (prior to the start of the RP).  Hizana is shy like her mother but has sought to become more outgoing since her father's death.  Hizana has been trained in various techniques by both her father and mother and has also received the Byakugan through her mother's bloodline.  Upon graduating from the academy, Hizana was placed in squad 4, aka team Sanmaru.

## Personality

Hizana takes on the personality of her mother, Hinata.

## Abilities

Hizana possesses abilities of both her father, Naruto, and her mother, Hinata. Her most common approach is to utilize her mastery of hyuga taijutsu while overwhelming her opponents with shadow clones. She also showed some skill with the Rasengan, at least enough to form it.

## The Life of a Shinobi

### Chapter 2

This chapter focused on the Chunin Exams Preliminary rounds. Hinata's opponent was Habashi Hyuga, a member of the Hyuga clan's branch family. He was quite jealous of Hizana and was intent on defeating her. The two exchanged blows, evenly matched in taijutsu. But Hizana had more to work with.

Despite Habashi's skill in combat, the shadow clones were overwhelming. Hizana was able to create more clones than Habashi could handle, giving her an opening to finish him off with her Uzumaki Barrage.

### Chapters 3-4

This chapter focused on the Chunin Exams Tournament. Hizana's battle was against Doske Getsuga, a much different opponent than Habashi. Doske utilized his lightning style abilities to mow through her clone army and shield himself against melee attacks. Doske was also very fast and had a hidden blade, making him very dangerous at close combat.

As the battle progressed, Hizana was getting tired. As a last ditch effort, she attempted to use the Rasengan against Doske. She got him in a position where he couldn't dodge the attack, and just before she made contact, the Rasengan dispersed. She had not yet mastered the attack and was unable to maintain it. Taking advantage of the situation, Doske knocked Hizana unconscious. He was going to kill her but was stopped just short of a lethal blow by the facilitator, Rento Aya. Hizana was taken to the infirmary and made no further appearances in the RP.
Danji Ushera

Summoning Jutsu

Danji Ushera is a member of the Akatsuki who appears in the original Life of a Shinobi RP.

During the battle inside the village, Danji and Rokku were confronted by Rento Aya and Tanzu Shiboshi. The two leaf jonin were killed off screen and the Akatsuki continued their search for the jinchurki.

Kitsune Kasai, the jinchuriki of Kurama, transported the 8 Tails Gyuki outside of the leaf in order to avoid collateral damage during their fight. Danji sooned joined Gyuki in his fight against Kitsune and Gamakichi. Several others from the leaf eventually joined the battle as well, including the Hokage Konohamaru and the leaf jonin Sanmaru Nara. The leaf jonin tried their hardest to restrain and defeat the beast, but Danji used his Fire Ball Jutsu to keep them at bay. As the battle began to die down, Rokku arrived on scene and suggested that they retreat. Danji, Rokku, and Gyuki then fled the scene.

### Chapter 5

Danji and Rokku return in chapter five when a leaf team is dispatched to Tanzaku Town. The team of Sanmaru Nara, Kazuma Ryuuga, Mugen Kakusu-ken, and Nani Aburame was sent to the town in order to bring the 4 tails jinchuriki, Emeni Raite, back to the leaf village with them for protection. Once the leaf ninja located Emeni Raite, they were attacked by Danji and Rokku. A new ally by the name of Taka, assisted them in escaping a trap. Mugen and Kazuma then engaged Rokku while Danji fought Nani and Sanmaru.

Mugen and Kazuma managed to kill Rokku. Danji then chose to retreat since he was significantly outnumbered. Although the village had suffered serious damage from the battle, the mission was successful. The team returned to the leaf village with the jinchuriki and a new ally.

Nothing is really known about Xavier's past prior to appearing on Earth. Like the other sonic characters, Xavier was transported to Earth from the Morbius dimension when an unknown event activated the chaos emeralds and triggered a chaos control.  Xavier was transported to a desert in Nevada. After traveling for 2 hours, he stumbled upon a city called Station Square. He almost immediately collapsed from dehydration but was found by Knuckles the Echidna and brought to the Thorndyke Mansion.

Since then, Xavier has lived at the Thorndyke Mansion with the others and been a welcomed addition to the team.

In addition to Xavier's recruitment, Captain Sternik also brings the grim news that Knuckles has been killed and the chaos emeralds are being collected by Eggman and an unknown associate. This news prompts Xavier to accept the recruitment offer and work with Organization M to collect the chaos emeralds and defeat Eggman.
The Land of Wind

The **Land of Wind** (風の国, *Kaze no Kuni*) is one of the more prominent countries in the series. It is located to the south-west of the Land of Fire and borders the Land of Rivers and Amegakure. Its government leader is the Wind Daimyō. The country covers a vast realm, but is significantly composed of deserts and thus has little productivity. Because there is very little rainfall throughout the year, the people of the country live in villages built on one of the desert's many oases. Despite the country's extremely harsh environment, it has a large population. Although they have warred with each other in the past, the Land of Wind is now on good terms with the Land of Fire, with a great deal of trade going on between the two countries.

The Land of wind is one of the five great shinobi nations and its hidden village is called Sunagakure.

## The Life of a Shinobi

The Land of Wind did not make an appearance in the original and has yet to make an appearance in the reboot. However, shinobi from Sunagakure did appear during the Chunin Exams in the original life of a shinobi.

Anon

Akatsuki

Anon is the 5th Raikage of Kumogakure. Anon appears as an antagonist in chapters 3-4 of the original Life of a Shinobi RP.

## Background

Anon took the position of Raikage 10 years before the start of the RP when the previous Raikage, A, retired. Anon's kageship was controversial, as many felt his business dealings were shady and his legislation was corrupt. Under his leadership, Kumogakure became distant from the other villages, especially Konohagakure. But even so, Kumogakure joined Konohagakure and Sunagakure in the Chunin Exams.

Anon had been secretly working with the Akatsuki. It is unknown why he allied with them.

## Personality

Anon is highly aggressive, blunt, cocky and arrogant. Other than some sense of self-control, there aren't any redeeming qualities of his personality.

## Abilities

Anon is a heavy fighter, with a large hammer as his weapon of choice. However, this heaviness does not hinder his speed. His use of the Lightning Style Armour allows him to maintain a speed that rivals the two previous Raikages. His possession of the Lightning style chakra nature suggests that his possesses a variety of lightning style techniques. However, he is only shown using the Lightning Style Armour and the Hell Stab.

## The Life of a Shinobi

### Chapters 3-4

During the Chunin Exams Tournament, Anon sat with Kazekage Gaara and Hokage Konohamaru and watched the battles. However, he was continually in communication with his agents in order to go through with his plan.

Once the two jinchuriki were located, Anon ordered his forces to begin the attack. D transformed into Gyuki, the Akatsuki summoned an army from Kumogakure, and the village was thrown into chaos. Anon battled Konohamaru and Gaara. His speed was overwhelming and his Hell Stab was able to penetrate Gaara's defenses.

After a tiring fight, Konohamaru and Gaara had an idea. Konohamaru charged at Anon with the Rasengan and Anon countered by lunging with the Hell Stab. Before the two collided, a Konohamaru clone jumped from behind some sand and used the Rasengan on Anon from the side. The clone hit Anon's arm with the Rasengan, flinging his arm into his chest and causing him to stab himself with the Hell Stab. Stunned from the stab, the real Konohamaru was able to get a direct hit with his Rasengan.

The result of this collision was the death of Anon. Hiro Nakamura saw this from his location. He then chose to abandon his mission now that his employer was dead.

Team Iruka

Shadow Possession Shuriken Jutsu

Shadow Pull Jutsu

Shadow Grasp Jutsu

Ninja Art: Shadow Stitching Jutsu

Ninja Art: Shadow Strangle Jutsu

Sanmaru Nara is a shinobi of Konohagakure and a major character in the Life of a Shinobi RP original and reboot. In both RPs, Raiku is the head of Squad 4, which in the original includes Kazuma Ryuuga, Zashimaru Renji, and Hizana Uzumaki and in the reboot includes Kazuma Ryuuga, Zashimaru Renji (renamed Renji Zashimaru) and Kimiko Chinoike.

## Background

In the original Life of a Shinobi, Sanmaru was on the battlefield alongside the previous Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki, and was one of the few who survived the battle.  Sanmaru strongly holds with will of fire within him and would be willing to die for the Hokage or Hidden leaf without hesitation.

In the Life of a Shinobi reboot, there was no great battle that resulted in Naruto's death. So that detail is no longer a part of Sanmaru's history. Now all that is known about him is that he was previously a part of team Iruka along with Onsui Kobaida and Rento Aya.

## Personality

Sanmaru has a pretty stern but calm personality, similar to that of Raiku but a bit more stern.

## Abilities

Sanmaru has mastered all the abilities known to members of the Nara clan, with skills rivaling that of Shikamaru Nara, the head of the clan.

## The Life of a Shinobi

In the original, Sanmaru first appeared during chapter 2 as a spectator during the preliminary rounds. He commented on the fights, in dialogue with his students and Mugen throughout. During chapters 3-4 when the Cloud and Akatsuki attacked the leaf, Sanmaru took a very active role. He directly engaged in combat with Danji Ushera of the Akatsuki and the 8 Tails Gyuki. Of course that was along with Konohamaru, who was the Hokage in this story, and Kitsune, the 9 tails jinchuriki, but none the less, it was a pretty courageous advance.

In chapter 5, Sanmaru was selected to lead a 3 man squad of Kazuma Ryuuga, Mugen Kakusu-ken, and Nani Aburame. Their mission was to travel to Tanzaku Town and try to convince the 4 tails jinchuriki to come back to Konoha with them for her own safety. While in Tanzaku Town, the team was confronted by Danji and Rokku of the Akatsuki. Once again, Sanmaru engaged Danji in battle and managed to hold his own while Kazuma and Mugen battled Rokku. Once Rokku was defeated and Tanzaku Town was destroyed, Danji fled and the 4 tails Jinchuriki agreed to go to Konoha with the leaf ninja.

## The Life of a Shinobi 2

### Chapter 2

Sanmaru first appears in this story at the beginning of chapter 2 when he comes to Ichiraku Ramen to notify Raiku of a mission. Mugen's sister Akira suddenly shows up and the three of them have a bit of dialogue.
Kaita

## Background

Not much is known about Kaita's background. All that is known is that Kaita was apart of the Land of Vegetables initiative to develop a shinobi village. Kaita was one of the few shinobi who survived the civil war and is considered one of their top warriors.

## Personality

Kaita is very reserved, never really showing much emotion.

## Abilities

Kaita is a skilled swordsman and is known to possess the fire style chakra nature. Kaita also has the ability to send chakra into her umbrella and generate a shield. The shield is pretty strong, allowing it to block almost anything from projectile weapons to explosions.

### Chapter 2

In this chapter, Team Raiku traveled to the Land of Vegetables for a rescue mission. Rebels had kidnapped the daimyo's wife and it was the team's job to defeat the rebels and rescue the wife. The daimyo sent Kaita along with the team, as she had knowledge of the rebels.

During the mission, the team split up. Raiku went off alone, Mugen and Kaze went off together, and Kaita went off with Chie. Almost immediately after splitting up, the teams were attacked. Kaita and Chie were attacked by Yu. In the beginning of the battle, Chie was knocked unconscious, forcing Kaita to fight Yu alone. Since Kaita had last encountered Yu, he had become much stronger and was able to incapacitate her.

Chie eventually woke up and after a mostly one sided battle in favor of Yu, she managed to defeat him. At the end of the chapter, Kaita recovered from her paralysis and returned to the palace with Team Raiku and the rescued wife, Wanda Katama.
Gamakichi

Gamakichi in Part II

Gamakichi is a sentient toad summon who is exclusively the personal summon of both Naruto Uzumaki and Kitsune Kasai in the original RP, Naruto Uzumaki in the reboot, and Naruto Uzumaki and Jiraiya in the Anime and Manga.

## Background

Not much is known about Gamakichi's background.

## Personality

He is rather comedic, and has the mannerisms of a smart aleck. He is also often very condescending as well as light-hearted in most situations, preferring the levity of talk to the seriousness of battle. He has formed a bond with Naruto because he saved him from Gaara in his miniature Shukaku form. After he is summoned he tends to greet people by saying, "*Yo*" (in English dub, "*Hey*").

In Part II, Gamakichi has not just grown in size but in maturity as wellconsiderably large amount of knowledge when it comes to human-toad combination techniques and natural energy. Also, he seems to be on better terms with his younger brother, Gamatatsu, as shown by him no longer calling him an idiot.

When summoned during the Fourth Shinobi World War, Gamakichi is shown to have started smoking like his father. With this, his personality has also become a lot more like his father's as well, as Naruto noted that along with his new size, he also gained an ego to match. At the same time, Gamakichi is shown to be very dutiful. As he realised time was almost up for his summoning, he was determined to give one final assist to Naruto.

## Abilities

Gamakichi has shown the ability to use the Reverse Summoning Technique and summon Naruto to Mount Myōboku. As a toad of Mount Myōboku, Gamamkichi is also well versed in the art of senjutsu and was earlier on in the series able to see the flow and accumulation of natural energy.

Gamakichi has shown capable of combining the use of senjutsu with his skills with Water Release nature transformation in order to use the Starch Syrup Gun technique, which creates a viscous blanket of water to attack his opponents with. In the anime, Gamakichi has also shown the ability to use Fire Release techniques, which includes the Fire Release: Flame Bullet and the cooperation ninjutsu with his brother and Naruto called the Wind Release: Toad Oil Flame Bullet.
Hiryu Ryuuga

Hiryu Ryuuga is a minor character in the original Life of a Shinobi RP.

## Background and Abilities

Hiryu is the eldest of the Ryuuga siblings, and quite possibly one of the best. He was born with a natural talent of fighting, using both speed and destructive power. Living up to the meaning of his name ("Flying Dragon"), Hiryu is considered the fastest shinobi since the Fourth Hokage. Like any other Ryuuga, he excels in various jutsu; more-so fire and lightning style, but Hiryu favors genjutsu, raiton, and combining taijutsu with his sword. Distant, cold, brooding, and sometimes insidious, his personality helped him become a favorite when he was formerly part of the Anbu adopting titles like "Sky Reaper", and "Shadow Demon".

Hiryu was also supposed to be in line to head the family, but left possibly before (if not after) his parents died. He hasn't been seen until recent reports have sighted him working for the Akatsuki and other factions, yet his intentions remain unclear.

## The Life of a Shinobi

Hiryu appears in the Life of a Shinobi chapter 6. During this chapter he attacks Akira, Kaito, Mao, and Jo Feng as a masked stranger. His true allegiance is unknown, as he aids both the Yigonists and the Akatsuki, two factions that are enemies.

Hiryu battles Kaito one on one and appears to be outmatched. This battle never fully ended, as the chapter was cut short.
The Land of Lightning

The **Land of Lightning** (雷の国, *Kaminari no Kuni*) is located on a peninsula north-east of the Land of Fire and is one of the Five Great Shinobi Countries. Its government leader is the Lightning Daimyō. In the centre of the country are vast mountain ranges, whose many thunderstorms are said to give the country its name. From these mountain ranges, many rivers flow to the sea, creating a very crooked coastline that displays an impressive oceanic beauty. There are many hot springs located within the country.

Clans from the Land of Lightning include the Kakusu-ken clan, Vetonday clan, Yotsuki clan, and Chinoike clan.

This country's ninja village is Kumogakure.
Life of a Shinobi Characters

This page lists the characters from the original Life of a Shinobi. If you're looking for characters from the reboot (The Life of a Shinobi 2), then click here. This is an alphabetical list of all the characters who appeared in the The Life of a Shinobi RP with the exception of a few characters. But those that were not included never appeared IC anyway so their concept never made it into the story.
Kaori Yamanaka

Team Raiku

Kaori Yamanaka is a main protagonist in the original Life of a Shinobi RP and is a member of Team Raiku. Kaori was originally RP'd by The Administrator but was eventually transferred to The Flow. It should also be noted that the images used for Kaori are actually of an OC by the name of Sawaii Hitomi. The original owner is unknown but Kakashi Forum does NOT take credit for the images.

## Background

Kaori is a member of the Leaf Village's Yamanaka clan.  Kaori developed a very tomboyish personality, having grown up with all male siblings, cousins and mostly male neighbors.  She is also skilled in various Yamanaka exclusive jutsu which her father taught her at a young age.  Upon graduating from the academy, she was determined to be the most skilled kunoichi ever and to be respected by her male teammates, sensei, and father.

## Abilities

It is known that Kaori possesses jutsu common to the Yamanaka clan. However, the only technique she is shown using in the RP is the Mind Transfer Jutsu. She does mention in chapter 1 that "She's not sure how long she can control a Jonin." So she clearly has not yet mastered the technique.

## The Life of a Shinobi

### Chapter 1

In chapter 1, Kaori is placed in Team Raiku along with Mugen Kakusu-ken and Ryan Kasai. Her teammates don't appear to get along very well, so she's not very happy to be stuck with them. However, she takes charge and tries her best to get them to work together as a team.

During their test, Kaori and Mugen are really the only two participating while Ryan Kasai does nothing (due to Crash Ryan 96's inactivity). Kaori and Mugen formulate a plan and put it into action. Raiku underestimates Mugen and ends up getting stuck by a bolt from Mugen's crossbow. With Raiku distracted and shocked by the attack, Kaori uses her Mind Transfer Jutsu to possess him and acquire the bells for their team. Kaori and Mugen are allowed to pass while Ryan is sent back to the academy.

### Chapter 2 and beyond

During the Chunin Exams Preliminary rounds, Kaori's battle is not shown. However, the list of winners and losers is shown and shows that Kaori battled Lien Sogyo and was defeated. Kaori's only other appearance is in Chapters 3-4 when she is attending the Chunin Exams Tournament as a spectator.
Partial Expansion Jutsu

The **Partial Expansion Jutsu** (Romanji: ***Bubun Baika no Jutsu***) is a practical application of the Expansion Jutsu. The point of swelling a single part of the body is to use the weight to increase the power of one's physical attacks. Any body part may be augmented this way, but for ease of use the arms and legs tend to be chosen quite frequently. It can also be used to grab opponents or large objects with a single hand. The speed of the expansion is exceedingly sudden, which makes it extremely difficult to avoid. Like the majority of the Akimichi clan's techniques, this one requires a considerable amount of chakra.
Yori Mabori

Yori Mabori is a character who appears in the original Life of a Shinobi RP as the Feudal Lord of the unnamed country containing the Hidden Grass Village.  For the sake of the RP, the Administrator decided to name the country, The Land of Grass. Despite his middle-aged appearance, Yori is actually a very old man.  Yori has been in his position since Naruto Uzumaki was a boy.

## The Life of a Shinobi

Yori made a brief appearance in the RP as he conversed with the leaf shinobi Akira and Kaito. Akira and Kaito came to escort Mao to the leaf village to protect her from the Akatsuki, but Yori did not allow this, since Kusagakure needed her in order to help protect their village from the Yigonists. Akira and Kaito made a deal with Yori that if they could defeat the Yigonists, Mao would be allowed to go to the leaf village, and Yori agreed to this. Chapter six was cut short, thus, ending the RP.
Chojin Akimichi

Team Onsui

Akimichi Clan

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

## Background

Chojin wasn't very good at making friends in the academy, and at some point became a bully to try and get attention.  Despite his aggression, Shikaru befriended him and the two have been friends ever since.

## Personality

Similar to his father, Chojin likes to eat a lot.  Unlike his father, however, he can tend to be cocky and aggressive.

## Abilities

It can be assumed that Chojin possesses the same techniques as his father. However, the only technique he is shown using in the RP is the partial expansion jutsu.

## The Life of a Shinobi

### Chapter 2

Chojin's only appearance is during the Chunin Exams Preliminary rounds. His fight is the last of the preliminary rounds and his opponent was Kazuma Ryuuga.

As soon as the battle began, Chojin rushed Kazuma with the Partial Expansion Jutsu, enlarging his fist. Kazuma sidestepped the attack and used the momentum to throw Chojin onto the ground. While lying on the ground, Chojin retaliated by grabbing Kazuma with his massive hand and starting to crush him. Kazuma managed to get his hands free enough to make hand signs for the fireball jutsu, which he then unleashed. Chojin expanded his other hand to block the attack, setting his hand ablaze. Chojin immediately began running around frantically with his hand on fire, and he announced his surrender. Rento Aya then jumped into the arena and doused the flames with his water jutsu. Chojin survived the battle but never made another appearance in the RP.

Inori Yamanaka is a jonin-level shinobi from Konohagakure, and is a part of both the original and reboot of The Life of a Shinobi. In both, Inori is the leader of squad 2.

## Background

Inori is the cousin of Ino Yamanaka.  Inori's skills are exceptional, and she was offered a position as an Anbu twice.  Both times, however, she refused.  Inori trained under lady Tsunade like her cousin Ino and became highly skilled in medical ninjutsu. In the original, she was said to be married and have a child in the academy.

## Personality

Inori is a very gentle and caring person.

## Abilities

Because Inori has yet to appear in the IC of either the original or reboot, none of her abilities are truly known. However, it can be assumed that she at least possesses basic ninja abilities, medical ninjutsu, and jutsu common to those of the Yamanaka clan. It is also said on her ninja info card that her chakra nature is wind. So it is possible she has some wind style techniques.

## The Life of a Shinobi

Inori, in this RP, was the leader of squad 2. Her students in this team were Lien Sogyo (Rock Lien), Amaru Gachi, and Nani Aburame. Inori never actually appeared in the IC of this RP.

## The Life of a Shinobi 2

Inori, in this RP, is the leader of squad 2 also. However, her students in this team are Lien Sogyo, Ayame Kusonoki, and Mochi Megumu. Inori has yet to appear in this RP.
Water Style: Syrup Trap

The **Water Style: Syrup Trap** (Romanji: ***Suiton: Mizuame Nabara***) is a water based ninjutsu. The user expels high-viscosity, chakra-infused water, aimed at a surface of wide scope. This is a stream of sticky liquid which can be used to form an adhesive trap that can inhibit a person's mobility.

Being caught in the technique can be avoided by channelling chakra to one's feet beforehand allowing one to walk upon it uninhibited. The syrup can be manipulated to move after it is created, being able to stick and travel up surfaces.
Kakusu-ken Clan

The **Kakusu-ken** **Clan** is one of the few clans of Shinobi that refused to join a village and stayed clandestine only working for a select few. They possess a little known kekkei genkai called Shikaku, a sixth sense that enhances their perception.

### Members

Mugen Kakusu-kenAkira Kakusu-ken

Kumori Kakusu-ken

### Appears in

The Life of a ShinobiThe Life of a Shinobi 2

## Background

Little is known about the origins of the Kakusu-ken, it’s believed that they’re descendants of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, but there’s no solid evidence to support this even in the clan’s own lore. Throughout most of its history the clan made a living off of high profile and high risk assassinations. During the Warring States Period, they’ve killed political and military leaders, samurai and even other shinobi.

The Kakusu-ken would sometimes work alongside the Vetonday Clan who also possessed the Shikaku. The two clans formed an alliances in order to protect the Shikaku, however, this alliance did not last. Disagreements among the clan leaders led to a bloody civil war across the Land of Lightning. The Lightning Daimyo and Raikage agreed to end the war using the Two-tailed Matatabi and Eight-tailed Gyuki. The choice was to side with the Kakusu-ken clan and destroy the Vetonday clan. This event has since been referred to as the Great Purge. Only about a third of the Kakusu-ken clan survived the war.

It was believed that the Vetonday clan was totally exterminated. However, it was discovered later on that a few members survived and the clan was seeking revenge. In an effort to avoid reliving the horrors of civil war, the Kakusu-ken clan scattered throughout the ninja world.
Derik

Akatsuki

Derik is a minor character who made a brief appearance in the Life of a Shinobi RP. Derik was literally only in the IC for two posts. He was introduced by The Administrator during the Cloud Invasion of the Leaf. As a huge proponent of a militarily superior nation, Derik jumped at the chance to assist his country in the invasion. However, as soon as he was introduced, he was blown up by one of Mugen's explosives. It was a tragic, but very comical end to the character.
Toads

**Toads** (蝦蟇, *Gama*) are the most recurring summons to be seen in the series due to some of the main characters: Naruto Uzumaki, Jiraiya, and Minato Namikaze being able to summon them. They reside on Mount Myōboku and are made up of sentient and semi-sentient individuals.

Toads possess a wide range of abilities, being able to spit water or oil from their mouths as well as utilising things ranging from their own tongues and weapons in battle. What is most unusual is that they are one of the few species able to do ninjutsu, and one of the few animals thus far capable of hand signs. Toads are also familiar with senjutsu, making them (along with their contractor) very powerful when invoked on the battlefield.

They vary greatly in size; ranging from giant summons such as Gamabunta, Gamaken and Gamahiro that tower over trees and can dwarf large rock formations, while others such as Gamakichi and Gamatatsu, were small enough in Part I to ride on a man's head. The two have got much bigger since their last appearances, Naruto now being capable of standing on their backs. Others, like Fukasaku and Shima, are as small as Gamakichi and Gamatatsu when they were still the aforementioned small sizes despite their advanced ages. The toads have also shown unique personalities; Gamatatsu has a fixation for snacks and Gamakichi enjoys watching battles from safe distances. Their father, Gamabunta, speaks like a yakuza gangster, who won't work with anyone he doesn't respect. Despite this, he is fiercely protective of his children and Naruto, and will fight for their safety regardless of his respect for the summoner (or, more likely, whether or not Jiraiya was on his good side). Gamaken, who was introduced in Part II, spends the bulk of his appearances commenting on how weak and clumsy he is.

The toad elders seem to hold high positions in toad society; the Great Toad Sage, an ageing and somewhat senile toad, hands down wisdom and predictions to the younger generations and is highly respected for his track record of always being right. Getting to meet with him is considered a great honour. A married toad couple, Shima and Fukasaku, assist the Great Sage in his work. They also seem to be particularly powerful, as Jiraiya summoned them to help him during a battle with Pain. Jiraiya spoke to both of them very respectfully, whereas with most other toads he treated as his equals. Although Shima and Fukasaku constantly bicker over such things as dinner and Jiraiya's immaturity, their combined efforts were enough to defeat three of Pain's bodies.

Toads can have long lifespans, as the Great Toad Sage lived since the era of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, and Fukasaku is over 800 years old. Various toads also have a fast growth rate, as Gamakichi grew from an averagely large toad (enough for a man to stand on) during Pain's Assault, to 16.9 metres tall during the Fourth Shinobi World War.
Tanzu Shiboshi

Tanzu Shiboshi is a skilled shinobi of Konohagakure who is the leader of squad 1 in both The Life of a Shinobi and The Life of a Shinobi 2. Tanzu's character was highly underdeveloped in the original RP but will likely be more fleshed out in the reboot. Tanzu is one of several characters who has changed significantly from the original to the reboot.

In both the original and reboot, the genin of squad one are Habashi Hyuga, Kia Shirayuki, and Eren Kyokotsu.

## Background

Not much is known about Tanzu's background. In The Life of a Shinobi, he was previously a student of Naruto Uzumaki and became proficient in the Rasengan. In the reboot, he was previously the student of Sasuke Uchiha and has had no Rasengan training. It is also known that he was previously a member of the Anbu Black Ops but eventually became a Jonin teacher, similar to Kakashi Hatake.

## Personality

Tanzu's appearance in the original Life of a Shinobi was very brief, so nothing is really known of his personality as of now.

## Abilities

Tanzu specializes in stealth, which is why he was perfect as an Anbu. As a student of Naruto in the original Life of a Shinobi, Tanzu learned the Rasengan technique and had built a relationship with Gamatatsu and signed a contract with him. In the reboot, however, he does not have any relationship with Gamatatsu and does not know the Rasengan.

## The Life of a Shinobi

### Chapter 3-4

Tanzu makes a brief appearance in Chapters 3-4 as he assists Kitsune Kasai and other shinobi with security during the Chunin Exams. Once the Cloud and Akatsuki invaded the village, all hell broke lose. Tanzu, along with Rento Aya, confronted Danji and Rokku, the two Akatsuki in the village. Their battle did not take place IC but it was determined that both Tanzu and Rento were killed in this fight.

## The Life of a Shinobi 2

Tanzu has not yet appeared in the IC and simply has a ninja info card in the OOC.
Ninja Art: Hidden Mist Jutsu

The **Hidden Mist Jutsu (**Romanji: ***Kirigakure no Jutsu***) is a speciality of the ninja from Kirigakure. With this jutsu, the user causes a mist to spring forth by either lifting up water from a pre-existing source, or expelling water from their mouth. They can then go in and out of sight at will from within the pearly-white realm. The mist's thickness is controlled by the amount of chakra kneaded into it. It cannot fool the Byakugan, but, due to the mist being created with the user's chakra, any Sharingan or Rinnegan-user will see the mist coloured by their opponent's chakra, allowing the said opponent to blend in.
Nani Aburame

Team Inori

Nani Aburame a genin-level shinobi from Konohagakure. Nani is a minor character in the Life of a Shinobi original RP and is a member of Team Inori.

## Background

Nani is the daughter of Shino Aburame, the current head of the Aburame clan.  Nani is the middle child, having one older brother who is a Chunin and one younger brother who is in the academy. Upon graduating from the academy, Nani was placed in Team Inori along with Lien Sogyo and Amaru Gachi.

## Personality

Nani is a very quiet person. She isn't shy, but is definitely an introvert and only speaks if necessary. Connecting with people isn't her strong suit, especially people her age who she sees as impulsive, foolish, immature, and strange.

## Abilities

Nani is shown to be able to communicate with/control insects just like other members of the Aburame clan.

## The Life of a Shinobi

### Chapter 2

Nani first "appeared" in chapter 2. However, this was merely a mention and didn't involve an actual IC appearance. During the Chunin Exams Preliminary rounds, most fights were not played out in the IC. Instead, the fights that were not shown were simply listed, with the winners and losers of those fights shown.

Nani was shown to have gone against Shikaru Nara and been defeated. We know nothing about this fight except that Nani did, in fact, survive.

### Chapter 5

For this chapter, a team was put together by Konohamaru to travel to Tanzaku Town and encourage a Jinchuriki to come to the leaf for her own safety. This team was led by Sanmaru Nara, and it's other members included Kazuma Ryuuga, Mugen Kakusu-ken, and Nani Aburame.

Once at Tanzaku Town, the team searched diligently for the Jinchuriki, with Nani using some of her insects to cover more ground. Eventually the Jinchuriki was located by Mugen and Kazuma and the whole group met up at a hotel. The group was engaged by the Akatsuki, with Danji confronting Sanmaru and Nani while Rokku trapped the others in an Earth Prison Jutsu.

Nani aided Sanmaru in his first assault but was quickly subdued by Danji's Headhunter jutsu. She was eventually saved by Kazuma. The team's mission was a success.
