Kiago Oichi

*"The first step in being a Kunoichi is to understand that one should not look like a Kunoichi. The art of the Kunoichi is to blend in with ones surrounding and people, and take advantage of the assumptions of men. From there one begins to learn the weapon arts, and then the ninja arts. However one must always remember that your strongest tool is imagination."* **Oichi** to her Ninja Band.

## Introduction

Kiago Oichi, leader of the Shita-kiri Suzume (舌切り雀, shita-kiri suzume, Tongue-Cut **Sparrow**) band. The band originates from the Land of Mist, rivers, and waves. It was put together by Oichi, a mercenary Ninja. She received her training from her Mother and Father, who were both missing Ninja. Her ban is mostly made up of women, and is known for their Kunoichi and Naginatajutsu skills.

## Appearance

Oichi stands five feet and three inches tall. She can most often be seen wearing a orange Kimono with a wave pattern on it, and with black sandals. Her Naginata is never far from her. It stands around seven feet tall, or 206 cm. The blade itself is a chakra blade and forged in a wave like pattern.

### Personality

Oichi is a kunoichi who has seen the worst the world has to offer. She has seen women raped, babies murdered, and the rick oppress the weak. She saw her own father die before her eyes, and has had to fight for her life on a regular basics. As a result of this Oichi is numb to violence. She does not see it as bad or as good. It is just another part of life.

Oichi ban is filled mainly with Kunoichi. The reason is that she values women over men and is more open to recruit them into her ban. The main reason is that women are more than likely to follow her orders than a man. The second is that she takes joy in empowering her fellow women and turning them into something dangerous. As a result of this when it comes to leadership positions she would rather promote a women than a man. However she respects hard work, and promotes based on merit. It is possible for a man to gain rank in her ban based off their skill, but females hold a unspoken advantage.

Oichi does not like the great ninja villages. However she holds a great hatred for Kirigakure. This is due to them killing her father. Their prejudice and slaughter of their own people. She hates water ninja with a passion, and will seek them out on the battlefield any chance she gets.

### kekkei Genkai

Suijin (水神, water god) - Suijin is a kekki Genkai. It does three tings. The first is that it allows her to breath underwater and ignore water pressure. Second it allows her to absorb water element ninjutsu. Third it lowers the cost and time to cast water base Ninjutsu.

### Ninjutsu

**Mist Image Jutsu** - It is a jutsu that creates a localized mist. The mist reflects water creating a false image of the user. The enemy thinks the mist is the user till they attack it, and find only water.

**Water Barrier Jutsu** - The user creates hands signs. They then swing their Naginata around at full speed forming a circle. The water follows this and forms a barrier. Any attack that hits the barrier. The attack will have to try to break though the incompressibility of Water.

**Water Blade Jutsu** - A jutsu where the user creates a flow of water that follows the edge of their weapon or hand. The water rushes at high speeds becoming a cutting edge and slicing thought a target. In Oichi's case it usually follows her Naginata head and comes down with her blow. Anyone blocking the attack will get a blade of slicing water to the face, or someone barely dodging it will get slicked by the releasing water.

**Water Lance Jutsu** - The user creates a sudden blast of high pressure water. This can be done in two ways. The first is to create the water itself which requires more Chakra and more hand seals. The high pressure water will from in the palm of the hand, or the mouth. It will then shoot out at high speeds and pressure to piece a target. If there is water nearby the user can use less hand seals and chakra. The water then shoots out from it's source at high speeds and pressurized stabbing into a target.

**Water Clone Jutsu** - User creates a clone of themselves made out of water. The clone however is more physical than other clones and can use them to interact with others and even perform the same jutsu as the user. Water clones only have about a tenth of their user's strength. When a water clone is sufficiently damaged, it will revert back into water or explode into a smoke screen. They however can only go so far from the user making their range limited.

**Explosive Water Bubble Jutsu** - User creates several bubbles that flow from their mouth, hands, or in Oichi case her Naginata. The bubbles float toward a target and then they exploded in a flash of light, and then into a large thick mist.

**Water Spirit Wave Jutus** - User points their finger at a target and generates water. The water is then lunched forward like a bullet toward a target. Skilled users can fire them in quick succession.

**Chakra String Jutsu** - Allows the user to create chakra strings. The user can also add a element to them to create water strings. Oichi mainly uses it to secure her Naginata. She adds Chakra strings to it so she can pull it to her at any time.

**Advance Flow Acceleration** - Oichi uses both Chakra Control and Water Manipulation to accelerate the flow of her blood thought her body. This increases her reaction time and the amount of oxygen flowing to her muscles. It also helps her direct her strikes and increases her agility.

**Amanozako** - A powerful water Jutsu that creates a powerful water Syphon. The jutsu has a enormous chakra cost and is usually considered not worth it. However due to Suijin (水神, water god) Oichi can pull it off. The Jutsu is simple. It allows the user to absorb water from their surroundings and whatever they are touching. They can drain the water out of a area, a person, or even a thing. The absorbed water can then be rereleased as a attack or used to fuel Jutsu. OIchi combines Amanozako with her Advance Flow Acceleration. Taking in the water she directly feeds her muscles with oxygen which allows her to perform high level Taijutsu.

**Water Dragon Bullet Technique** - The user molds water into the shape of a dragon, which they then direct at a target. The water crashes upon the target, dealing significant physical damage. Ideally, users will use pre-existing bodies of water for this technique, but sufficiently skilled users can instead create the water themselves, spitting the dragon from their mouths.

### Naginatajutsu

**Block Counter Slash** - A combination move where the user blocks with the center of their shaft. They then hit the enemy in the nose with the blunt end of their Naginata. Then they pull the blunt end back to strike with a full strike with the sharp end of their weapon.

**Zanbatō (斬馬刀, Horse Chopping Sword)**- It is a powerful horizontal swing with enough force to cut a line of horses in half.

**Rashōmon (羅生門)** - Rashomon is a powerful Naginata technique. The user throws themselves thought the air and performs a powerful downward slash throwing their entire body weight into the attack. The attack is said to be able to kill a Oni, and that is why it is named Rashomon, after the place where the legendary samurai slew the Oni Ibaraki-doji.

**Amemasu (雨鱒)** - Is a Nin -Naginajutsu technique. The move is named after a Yokai that looks like a great whale. The user attacks with their weapon. As they do they release their chakra to increase their speed and let their chakra flow thought their weapon. As they do this they activate their nature release turning the chakra into water. This massively increases the weight of the attack increasing the power output on strike.

**Furaribi (ふらり火)** - A Naginata swing so fast that the friction heats the blade red hot. It not only cuts, but burns the target on contact.

**Hannya (般若)** - Named after a Noh Mask. It is the name of a berserk rage that Oichi can send herself into. In this state she can't feel pain, and attacks her enemy with blinding furry. In this state she is a danger to both her allies and her enemies.

### Backstory

Her father name was Gembu and he was a shinobi of Kirigakure. His real name is unknown, but he threw it away when he went into hiding. Her mother name is Taki, and she use to be a Sunagakure Kunoichi. Both Gembu and Taki fought in the second Shinobi war.

Gembu saw his entire village be whipped out before his eyes. Mu destroyed everything he ever loved and everyone he ever loved. After seeing such a event he swore eternal vengeance on the Iwagakure. Fe fought thought the war like a madman seeking vengeance for his village. His ferocity gained him a reputation among the enemy soldiers. The Blood Wolf , became his nick name as he hunted down earth Ninja with a passion and killed them with equal furry. He survived the war, barely, and went on to be a successful ninja. He had a wife, and a son. This all changed when the third Mizukage died of mysterious circumstances. Gembu began to investigate, and his actions angered the Mizukage. The Mizukage had his wife and newborn child fed to sharks before his eyes. Gembu was then set on fire, stabbed, and tossed into the ocean. However, he survived, and ended up washing up on a island, where Taki was hiding out. Taki, who was trying to keep a low profile, took a risk and nursed him back to health. The two fell in love, and Oichi is born.

Taki was one of the shinobi recruited by the Gold and Silver Brothers from Sunagakure. Her clan was one of the minor clans in the region that were conquered by the Sunagakure. When the gold and Silver brothers came she was happy to join. Over time she became famous for fighting with a Naginata instead of more traditional ninja tools. Her skill with the weapon served her well, and even assisted her in faking her own death. She escaped the fate of her comrades that fell beside The Gold and Silver brothers by snapping her Naginata in half, and leaving it with a burnt corpse. The day however was forever scared in her mind and hunted her dreams. Taki began to move around the Ninja world not staying in one place too long, and moving to the next. She eventually ended up moving to a small island in The Land of Mist. She expected to live out her life on that rock in the sea when Gembu washed up ashore. Against her better judgement she nursed him back to health. The two fell in love, and had a daughter, Oichi..

OIchi remembers little of the third war. She was a baby during it and as a result she does not remember much. She did however remembering having to move a lot. The family island home was safe for a while. However losses during the war made the Mist village search the islands for fodder ninja. Fearing discovery Gembu moves his family around. Things turn for the worse when Oichi was four. Her family was on the move again like usual. She was playing with her wooden stick in the back of a tea house. Then a man covered in bones appeared and attacked her. Her mother stepped in the way to defend her, and before her eyes she saw her cut down by the a Kagura man. Her father killed the man a moment later, but the damage was done. At the tender age of four, she lost her mother.

Oichi spends the next eight years with her father learning the way of the Nagninata and Ninjutsu. Her father moves away from The Land of Mist after the Kagura attack. Suspicion was high, and a man with a daughter would stand out. Moving to The Land of Rives he attempts to keep a low profile and train his daughter. For a time there was peace, but then Yagura caught wind that he was alive. As a result he sends his personal assassins after him. This gave the Seven Shinobi of The Mist the chance they needed, and they took it.

Oichi's father is assassinated by the Mizukage's assassin. However in the fight the assassin is killed as well. This leaves Oichi without a father at the age of 12. She begins to take on missions on her own and attempt to survive on her own. During this time the hatred of kekki Genkai users goes into full swing. Several of them begin to flood into the Land of Rivers. Oichi takes on a few jobs handling bandits that are taking advantage of the chaos. During this she meets refugees with stories similar to her own, losing their parents.

Oichi starts her Ban by after saving a young boy from a young girl from a mob. She then begins to gather up like minded girls and teach them the way of the Naginata and Ninjutsu. The group starts taking jobs together as a whole for a time. However the more they work the more people they found who were in bad shape because of the war. Eventually Oichi starts to let men into her group, and none combatants. Her ban grows into a decent size. Realizing that would make them targets she moved from The Land of Rivers and migrated her band to the Land of Hot Water. This is where she meet the other bands and linked up with them to form a bigger unit, Yukagakure no Sato (水加隠れの里, Village Hidden by the Geysers).
