From a young age, Ryōshi was expected to follow in the footsteps of his father like his brother and sister before him however tragedy struck their clan one night when enemies of the Nation infiltrated the Village and trespassed on their Family Compound bringing about destruction, in a desperate attempt to save their baby brother Yanan would cast a Genjutsu on him knocking him out as Kichō would place him in a container and locking it with a Sealing Technique only their family and close friends of their family would know how to undo before sending him away. Ryōshi's vessel would later be discovered by Yūichirō who was a very dear and close friend of Ukemi, undoing the seal she would discover the blood soaked child and would take him away. Later he would become the Adopted Son of Yūichirō and would train in the ancient ways of the Hon'nō as well as how his new mother would teach him, as the years went by Ryōshi's talent for tactics and combat would begin to blossom as his firm intelligence and understanding became his weapons he would excel in the use of Ninja Tools, Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and even in arts of Assassination. Ryōshi has been noted for his sharp focus and firm growth and is stated to be physically one of the strongest children as he is capable of lifting almost 200lbs by himself at the mere age of 16. What has been taken into account is that Ryōshi cannot be bought out as his loyalty to Yūichirō is one that can never be broken making him one of her most loyal subjects, unfortunately he is constantly worried about as since the night of his family being brought to extinction he has only managed to sleep 3 hours a night due to frequent nightmares.

## **Background**

Born into a time in the world of strife, violence and malice in which peace was but a fleeting desire and war always loomed on the horizon in the minds of those who understood that change was easily condoned, Ryōshi of the Hon'nō Clan would come to learn all of this from his father and an even crueler fate before his childhood would even be over. Son of the Hon'nō Clan came with responsibility and duty even for the children, instead of playing like most children would Ryōshi was instead being trained in the basic fundamentals of brutal combat warfare including the Art of Assassination, he would spend his days training in the use of many Weapons and Tools to comprehend their purpose and capabilities and he would be forced by his Father to study certain Medical Science under the tutelage of his Mother such as Toxins, Venom, Antidotes and more. However Four Years Later would see this come to an abrupt and violent end on his 10th Birthday which would be the only time he ever had anything compared to a normal life with his family as on this day his Father would host an event he called “His Son's Coming of Age” for it was the last night of Ryōshi's past life before he would begin actual Field Training and Live-Action Combat Training with his Father and Brother on Missions for the Land of Wind but unfortunately tragedy would strike this very night leaving Ryōshi a very different person than what was intended.

Once the ceremony had ended and everyone began to retire for the evening it began in a flash, screams of horror filled the air as the cries of roaring battle lust echoed around them and the sounds of metal meeting flesh began to fly as suddenly Ukemi appeared before her three children with a look of fear washed against her soft demeanor as she said in a trembling stutter “W-we must go, W-we are under attack.. H-h-hurry” to which all that Ryōshi recalls is being swept up in his mothers arms as she ran down the dark hallway followed by her two other children.

Mere moments passed and Ryōshi noticed shadows in the darkness behind them, moving with such speed as if almost dancing to appear non-existent but Ryōshi had always had a keen eye and could easily make out the shape of three people and then... his brother Yaban turned to face the shadows drawing the sword strapped to his back giving it a firm wide swing as the sound of metal meeting metal sounded off in the hallway but before Ryōshi could focus his eyes even further his mother turned down another hallway causing the scene and his brother to be cut from his view.

Him, his mother and sister would soon reach an opening at the edge of a cliff side that resided on the backside of their family compound and would be met by Yaban and Satsujin who had both been covered in blood not belonging to them, Ryōshi was too frightened to make out what they were saying but noticed his father was carrying a container of sorts that looked about the size of Ryōshi himself however before he could ask his father about the container they suddenly realized they were being set upon by more of the attackers, tossing the container to his sister she would open it up as she looked towards Ukemi and Ryōshi with saddened eyes nodding as Ukemi laid Ryōshi down into the container, tears in her eyes. Yaban stepped forward as Ryōshi heard is father yell “Send Him Off” followed by the familiar sounds of earlier that would later become known to Ryōshi as the sounds of battle, Yaban would give his baby brother a smile as he muttered the words “Grow Strong, Brat” and before he knew it Yaban weaved a sign of sorts with his hands causing distortion within Ryōshi's mind to which the last thing his consciousness witnessed was the tears of his family and a crimson wave followed by a scream before his world went black. It is unknown how much time really passed for Ryōshi however when he awoke he was in familiar surroundings, a place he had been too many times with his mother and the one other place he felt safe within... This was the home of Lady Yūichirō, his mother's best friend and one of the kindest people he knew aside from his mother and sister... She would enter the room he was residing in and explain what occurred that night and would go on to adopt him as her own son and would raise and train him personally so that he could achieve the greatness his family saw in him.
