Izubaru Ashiaburo

## **Background**

When he was 6, the village where Inzubaru and his family lived at was destroyed and his parents were killed. He was found by a friend of his family and a member of a group which his father was apart of and watched over until he came of age. Before becoming a Missing-nin, Izubaru was put through gruesome training that forced him to climb mountains, take constant beatings, walk in mud carrying bags full of rocks through cold water and mud, and even spending nights in the cold with barely any clothing on to prepare him for the life ahead.

## **Personality**

Izubaru was normally portrayed as a quiet, intelligent, cold-hearted figure, and infamous person who follows a philosophy that "*death is better than life and that if your weak, your unlikely to survive*". It is possible this philosophy came to be, because of an mental illness caused because of him watching his entire village be massacred in an instant as a child while his parents died in front of him.

## **Appearance**

Izubaru's clothing used to be somewhat unusual towards this era. He wore a basic t-shirt and shinobi pants that allow him to hide all his small weapons within. He also wore a skull ring that is made of steel and an earing with feathers attached to it, presumably for traditional reasons. After becoming an assassin, he dyes his hair red and wears all-red. His outfits are usually random and he tends to switch them up a lot. Outside of his clothes, Izubaru had a very muscular body, mainly from the intense training he had to go through growing up. He wasn't huge in muscle mass, maybe mid-way.

## **Abilities**

Izubaru is an ex-jonin who turned rogue because he felt that the laws forcing him to reside within Kirigakure was too harsh. He instead decided to become an adventurer and venture among the Shinobi World. Though unbeknownst to him, he is being hunted and is wanted by his own brethren and villagers. Even from a young age, he was known as a prodigy, especially because everything came natural to him. He bested his classmates and went true many trials, somehow managing to pass them all. At a young age, everyone around him could feel his strong chakra reserves without the area, but knew it could not be left untouch, because of the immensely dark and powerful force that resided within him because of his clan's past. Izubaru became a one-man army before he took leave from his position as a jonin and became a missing-nin. He was widely known because he was Kirigakure's secret weapon. He has killed many of their enemies and created many bloodsheds which led to him being feared even by those around him and those he deemed friends.

### **Taijutsu**

With gruesome training that included getting hit repeatedly, charging up mountains, lifting weights while doing many other seemingly impossible things, Izubaru developed a rather high proficiency as a taijutsu master before hitting the age of ninteen. His training had given him enough strength to carry a cart full of objects for miles and become fast enough to confuse and eventually outrun a two-tomeo Sharingan. His skills enhanced dramatically, allowing him to fight perfectly while asleep or heavily drugged and possessing a high pain tolerance using nothing but perfect muscle memory. His best way of fighting is anaylzing his opponent's while mostly maintaining his composure and mostly countering or using quick-paced strikes. Most of the time, when he has to do a mission, a day or two before going on that mission, he sets up an exercise which he forces himself to do for hours at a time so that he can better understand and potentially be prepared for whatever comes at him.

### **Intelligence**

From the very beginning, Izubaru was an extremely deceptive and intelligent individual. When in battle, he uses a mix type of battle stance, that looks like he's on both offense, but defense at the same time. Rather than outright striking, he stays and observes his opponent, looking for a way of defeating them and understanding them better. He is known for coming up with outragerous, but potential tactics on the fly. When anaylzing an opponent before having a potential fight against them, he tries to have himself fit, trained and prepared as to always be ready to fight a new enemy. Most of the time, he may even have a strategy in mind during a fight that he can work towards throughout a fight. He is also extraordinarily talented in deceiving his opponents in order to make them think that he was less intelligent than he actually was. Unlike most, Izubaru was shown to purposely hold back his full potential, allowing him to view the true capabilities of his opponents, such as what they were good at, and where their weaknesses lie, before unleashing his true power and targeting their weaknesses.

### **Learning Capabilities**

Even during his younger days, Izubaru was an exceptional learner, being chosen by the Mizukage for this very trait. His growth was so extraordinary, that he would frequently even surprise those that were around him constantly. He quickly learned from his mistakes, and developed new fighting styles to fill in the gaps left by the previous style.

### **Chakra Prowess**

Even during childhood, Izubaru was acknowledged as having a big potential of chakra within him. The intense level of chakra he possesses is great enough that he can fight for hours without tiring. Overtime, Izubaru reserves increased to a considerable size allowing him to fight for longer and to help it last longer.
