Uchiha Rin

Template:Character Sheet

## Appearance

He appeared to be what some people would call 'Your typical Uchiha' with black hair, fair skin complexion and sharpened eyes. His eyes are an amber color which turns into a blood red once his sharingan are activated. He would often wear the ANBU mask and ANBU armor of the leaf. While not wearing his ANBU attire, he could be seen wearing a lot of foreign clothing that appeared rather flamboyant, which clashed well with his wife's muted clothing.

## Personality

A hot-headed street ruffian that had zero patience and was quick to use violence as a means to solve problems. However, upon meeting Senju Misato, his personality quickly turned around. He became a lot more gentle and patient with her around him. He is extremely loyal to Misato and Misato only, caring not for the demands and orders of anyone else. He is also a professional when it came to being the ANBU Captain of Konohagakure. He took his work very seriously, sparing no time for trivialities. However, he is still extremely prone to anger and avarice, allowing it to take over him if the circumstances were right.

## History

### Childhood

Growing up as an Uchiha during the time of the Fire Citadel was not easy -- especially for a young and hot-headed child as he was. While he still had a loving family, they were poor and had difficulty maintaining their own lives, thus causing Rin to enter into street gangs to help him provide for his family. He would steal food from the markets and cut purses from the rich, using it to help his family live through the harsh times. He would also use fire ninjutsu to escape capture, even knowing about the ninjutsu taboo.

At the age of 13, he noticed a young white-haired girl being bullied by other Uchiha boys. Disliking this, he went and broke up the bullying and was first introduced to Senju Misato. He was captivated by her beauty and a budding romance started to bloom between the two. Meeting with her late at night to scale the mountain and look over the Fire Citadel together. The two seemed inseparable, even if they had to face adversity throughout the entire village. The words "*A Senju and an Uchiha? Preposterous!*" and other shouts of disbelief rang in their ears as they would be seen together in public.

At the age of 16, his mother was stricken with leprosy. As old fashioned as her family was, she had a final favor to ask of Rin. As old-fashioned as his parents were, believing that the Uchiha can achieve greatness through the Sharingan, his mother asked Rin to kill her. Originally refusing, she convinced him that killing her would be a mercy for her. Acknowledging this as mercy for his mother, he took a kunai and killed her. The pain, regret, and grief instantly struck him, granting him with the Uchiha Kekkei Genkai; the Sharingan.

### Adulthood

Upon reaching 18 years old, with Misato being 20 years old at the time, the two decided to elope. This came at great dismay from both of their families, being disappointed by her Hyuga adopted parents and complete and utter anger from his father. The thought of an Uchiha and Senju being together completely goes against the blood feud held by both clans. Finding a more amicable solution, the two started to live on their own. The ability to sustain themselves tempted Rin to return to the criminal life in order to sustain himself and Misato. He would, instead, take on odd-jobs to earn pay. However, this wasn't enough and this forced Misato to return to her adoptive parents and beg for a place to stay.

After guiding the Uzumaki delegation from the Whirlpool Country, letting them witness the state of affairs within the Fire Citadel and befriending one of the delegates by the name of Uzumaki Kari, they were allowed to stay within the Hyuga branch family compound. After their future felt more secure, they lived quiet lives with Rin entering into Citadel security and Misato becoming a baker. The two, however, would also secretly train in the shinobi arts in the safety of the Branch Hyuga household.

Things have turned around and a new Daimyo was named: Konaguni Sakura. He instantly had a bad feeling about having her in power. Sakura announced that she wished to create a special military that would use ninjutsu and he was the very first one to sign up. As offensive Ninjutsu was seen as taboo until after Sakura had come into power, many people were hesitant to join -- seeing this as a trick or some kind of trap to lure out ninjutsu users. Ignoring this, he used this as an opportunity to keep an eye on Sakura, at Misato's behest.

A small group of 10 volunteers joined this force and they were the first to hear the word *Shinobi* spoken to them, a term coined by Sakura. They would be loyal and elite branch of the Fire Country military. Going out on missions, she would send Rin and other Uchiha out on particularly dangerous missions as an excuse to kill off some of the Uchiha. Mission after mission, the group would come back alive and having completed the mission objective. It wasn't until the death of Sakura's child by a group of Uchiha did the Uchiha within the Shinobi group begin to disperse; Rin included. Rin witnessed the corralling of Uchiha at first and then outright execution afterwards by those the once saw as comrades.

Sending word to Uzumaki Kari, a small contingent of 10 Uzumaki sneaked into the Fire Citadel and assisted Rin, Misato, and many other residents of the Fire Citadel to strike back. Several riots sprung up, used as a diversionary tactic before giving Misato an opportunity to assassinate her half-sister. During the riots, Sakura had unleashed a Primordial Tailed Beast, which she had very little control over, upon the rioters. There was mass destruction, death of many citizens of the Fire Citadel, and the rioters, including Kari and Rin, weren't strong enough to kill the Primordial Tailed Beast. An alternative solution came to mind as Kari stated that she could seal the Primordial Tailed Beast within the body of one of the rioters. Taking this as an opportunity, Rin volunteered and the Primordial Tailed Beast was quelled and sealed within Uchiha Rin. This, however, took a tremendous toll upon Rin's body, almost killing him in the process. Once Sakura had been killed, the fighting almost immediately ended. The public saw Rin and Misato as the two 'tips of the spear' for this revolution and proposed to expand the Shinobi by allowing anyone and everyone, that volunteers, to become shinobi with a vastly different governmental structure. Rin was proposed to be the first leader, but conferred the role to his wife.

### Time as ANBU Commander

A year into the formation of the first shinobi village, Konohagakure, he was assigned as the leader of the village guard. However, Rin noticed that there was a very large hole in the village infrastructure. They needed intelligence and a group that would do things that the village guard cannot. A group of elite shinobi were converted into a special operations squad within Konohagakure named Ansatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai (translates to: Special Assassination and Tactical Squad) or better known as ANBU. They were given their own uniforms, special masks, and a tattoo upon their arms to signify their association with Leaf ANBU. However, the ANBU were kept a secret and their identities, as a whole, were kept a secret due to the sensitive nature of their jobs.

In year 7 of the Shinobi Era, the ANBU were given their first major task. This task wasn't born of tactical interest for the village, but out of anger. A group of shinobi from Sunagakure were dispatched to Konohagakure and they had assassinated Rin's wife, the current Hokage, Senju Misato. Anger and rage filled Rin, unlocking the coveted Mangekyo Sharingan. Feeling his anger and rage brim over, he quickly organized a task-force of his ANBU to follow him. Upon reaching the gates of Sunagakure, he would instantly turn into the Tailed Beast, destroying the outer wall, killing large swathes of Sand Shinobi until he reached the Kazekage tower and crushed the First Kazekage Jourin Kohana. He would never learn that it wasn't her command that lead to Misato's death. It was this incident that threw Konohagakure and Sunagakure into the KonoSuna Conflict.

During the KonoSuna Conflict, he lead the ANBU from the shadows until the final engagement in Sunagakure where Uchiha Rin was killed in combat. His death preceded a massive explosion within the village, which some people attribute him being the cause of The Great Fire Event that ended the KonoSuna Conflict. That information, however, was never confirmed. Between the time of the start and end of the KonoSuna Conflict, he had developed a relationship with Uzumaki Kari. His desire to not be alone caused the two to fall in love and get married.
