## **Background Information**

Kurai was always a happy child growing up, he love to play with his brother and sister. His parents were respectable shinobi in the village and even though neither of them would ever become the leaders of their clans they made a name for themselves. Kurai's father had been on many missions before and during his the boy's childhood, but somehow he always managed to find time for his children. Kurai grew up quickly and without any real complications. He showed that he had a nack for anything that had to do with using his brain. From reading books to learning new jutsu he just loved to learn more and more. His father often played strategy games with him to help mould his mind into what it needed to be. When Kurai was eight he entered the shinobi academy in Ikotsugakure. He quickly topped his class in the categories that had to do with intelligence, such as math and history. He always loved to learn about the past, all of the wars and conflicts excited him. After 4 years in the academy Kurai had graduated and been promoted to the Genin rank. This would be when he would meet one of his best friends in the world, Hikaru Shiroi. They almost immediately hit it off and it wasn't long until they were making up nicknames for each other. Kurai had come to call Hikaru, Light, which was the litteral meaning of his name. Hikaru wasn't as nice and just called him things like bookworm and nerd, jokingly of course. Overall as it turned out Hikaru and Kurai made a great team often combining their jutsu to tear through opponents. When it came to the Chuunin exams Hikaru took the first win to become a Chuunin. Kurai had lost to a young boy of Senju descent with spikey black hair and yellow eyes. However, Hikaru met the boy in the finals and defeated him, but not easily. Kurai was happy for Hikaru, but was not expecting what came after the matches were over. It seemed that the Kazankage himself was impressed with how well Kurai had done in his fight and he wanted to promote Kurai aswell. It was fitting that he got promoted the same year as his best friend. They had become close over the years and it showed. They were almost inseperable. Every mission that Kurai went on he made a special request for Hikaru to come along and Hikaru did the same. They had become almost family over the years,which probably helped Hikaru deal with the loss of his mother. Their friendship continued like this for a while training and doing missions. Now we watch and see what happens.
