**Yūryō Raikyu** (優良九雷, Raikyu Yūryō), or **Tenryu** (点竜, "Heavenly Dragon"), is a founding member and Second-hand of the Tenjiru Gang. Aside from this, Yūryō is a promising combatant with an intellectual brain to support it.

## **Background**

Bred into the monarchical household in seclusive mountains in Kumogakure, son to the ruler, Jiro Raikyu. Brother of Kinro Raikyu. His mother, Oshun, was assassinated seven days after delivery, disguised as death from the ordeals of childbirth. Additional proof or documentation was engulfed, theorized to come from direct orders of Jiro, considering her valueless after bearing his final son. The last child, Yūryō Raikyu, had a surreal resemblance to his grandmother & mother, who Jiro loathed, influencing Jiro to alienate from him because his impulses to murder and temptations to kill him grew intense. For five years, he learned from the few Raikyu that would teach him until he later was exiled and banished, ordered never to step foot around the area.

Yūryō Raikyu stayed with his Uncle Ma'jeru near the southern boundary of Kumogakure, experiencing an unorthodox lifestyle of non-chakra. Ten years in isolation with an occasional visitation from his Uncle caused a survival instinct to kick in, depriving him of his true roots and becoming more of an Ancient human by the day. In landscape, the wilderness increased to surreal lengths, with miniature animals near the size of adult humans. The first few months seemed the worst, adjusting to a perilous terrain without guidance and developing Nyctophobia — An extreme fear of the dark — after weeks that felt like a hellish punishment. From the savannahs to jungles, all stretches of nature were met by Yūryō before the age of seven, earning the respect of Uncle Ma'jeru. Through this gain, Uncle Ma'jeru taught Yūryō the technique of handed combat, conditioning the boy's mind, body, and soul into a world of physical torment, with the end result being an elevation of primal power, compacting within him. Uncle Ma'jeru not only took measures of physical stability with the potential to get unleashed, but he also taught Yūryō the Primal Arts — A legendary taijutsu style that mythicized because of solitariness and scarce users there are left in the world.

A period went on when Uncle Ma'jeru became the father of Yūryō but grew bedridden from terminal heart disease, leaving him with little time left. As a kid, Yūryō couldn't accept this truth, vowing and swearing to find or develop a cure that could save his father figure from his forthcoming descent. During this time, Yūryō traveled and journeyed beyond the lands of lightning, entering into unfamiliar territory, yet adapted reasonably, harvesting up knowledge of Iryojutsu — from the past, he had some ability, but not very in-depth — seeking to find something that'd turn to the path of saving a near-ending life. He never saw this solution. Uncle Ma'jeru passed away before Yūryō could adequately state goodbye or express his fear of losing all he had. The youngling, in a place unknown to his mind, felt something shift suddenly, dropping him to his knees, releasing an agonizing shout, losing his voice in this process.

For a while, the boy was a drifting cloud, going from place to place, neglecting the deathly reality, still searching for some technique to heal him. Along this long sorrowed path arrived a man. He was an older man who described his visions of his clan's resurrection to unveil somewhat consoling with the boy. Amid his tales, the Guru uttered the name of someone who would bring forth the revival. So with this, the Guru or even Great Sage bestowed knowledge and flare inside the once-lost fluff of misery, unraveling a mind of tormented build-up, setting him on the course of redemption. And so, with the conclusive breath of this Guru, he told both his name and descendant's name, "I...Kagutsuchi Goka, child to the blaze, and the one I desire you to pursue is-is Ka—" Another great man in his life, gone with the wind, but a feeling of inspiration filled his heart's glass rather than dismay. He began the journey, burying the Guru, bidding him farewell, and foraging for the someone foretold in Kagutsuchi's visions.

Yūryō on his own again, wandering the globe to find Kagutsuchi's dream. Based on this determination, he encountered Kashi, a captivating flame whom Yūryō sensed a gracious essence. Initially, when the two met, wildfire and thunderstorm combated to the rupture of light, and both were pacified by the destructiveness generated by this combat, leaving the forestation in shambles and with ebony ash clouds. Yūryō and Kashi, after this time, settled an idiotic dispute by having a contest of who could re-flourish the location back to its rightful beauty. Yūryō, as the person he is, declared himself the champion of both the fight and renourishment, though Kashi was the clear winner in the second contest. A victor of the battle couldn't be told between them, bickering the matter where they both argue about who indeed won — practically going back at it again. Through the activities, the two befriended one another, joining hands, with Yūryō becoming the second member of Tenjiru, pledging his loyalty to Kashi, entrusting him with his life.

## **Personality**

This mellowed individual seems to exist truthfully as a barbaric, impulsive, and excessively violent character partnered with an incurable weak temper. Like Tenjiru's leader, second-hand Yūryō is also a pretty stormy individual. He treasures a good fight and relishes encountering powerful adversaries. He is discourteous to those he regards beneath him and makes it transparent that he does not fancy them. Nonetheless, despite his welcoming nature, he's one aggressive and evident blood luster in conflict: Yūryō possesses a feral cunning and has a talent for quickly exploiting any opening his opponent exposes. In addition, he is blunt, caustic, and inhumane, revealing a psychotic grin.

Unlike Kashi, Yūryō is the more mature and logical of the two. When the two attacked for the destruction of a forest by nearby townsfolk, Yūryō was the one who forced Kashi to apologize, considering the situation from their eyes, understanding their vexation and that it was better to receive their outrage without a word than to try and defend themselves. There are periods when Yūryō's irritation gets the best of him, though, and he lashes out in a thunderstorm.

Yūryō, unlike his younger self, hates overtly showing affection to the ones he cares about or expressing his feelings but takes great lengths to take care of Kashi. He deals with Kashi's schemes and cherishes him as a close friend.

## **Appearance**

Yūryō stands an inch above the average height, five-foot-six inches. Yūryō quite lean and has chiseled abdominal muscles. When in altercations, he believes that he pierces the heavens and blocks out the sun when facing someone moderately intimidating. Scattered across his body are scars with stories and memories behind each one — when he rubs one for over a minute, he goes into a daydreaming trance. He has unique silver eyes reminiscent of the Eye of a Storm and the top half of his hair is white while the bottom half of his hair is black. Though when activating his Chakra or Techniques, it spikes up significantly and shifts to a light blue complexion.

He wears a black suit with black sandals, similar to Hashirama and Madara's attire under their armor. When not tattering a casual outfit, he wears Black Pajamas with yellow lightning bolts or jogging pants, a black lion tanktop, yellow eye covers, and black sandals. In a time of venturing, he prepares the finest outfits he can think of — colorful and vibrant colors or something eye-alluring.

## **Trivia**

* Yūryō is a Pluviophile and Ceraunophile
* Yūryō still has Nyctophobia, but tries to fight against it
