The Life of a Shinobi

The Life of a Shinobi is an RP on the Kakashi Forum site. The Life of a Shinobi idea actually includes two stories: the original and the reboot.

### Original

The original Life of a Shinobi story was started on Friday, May 16th 2014 and was the very first RP to launch on the site. The story took place 30 years after the events of Naruto Shippuden and the focus was on the Hidden Leaf Village. When starting this story, the few participants had little to no knowledge of the Boruto era. So considering what we know now, this story would be considered an alternate timeline as opposed to a future timeline.

In this timeline, Naruto did become Hokage but died during a battle and was succeeded by Konohamaru. Hinata and Naruto did get married though and had two children named Kaito and Hizana. The Administrator created a variety of characters to be the children of characters from Shippuden. Ino and Sai, Shikamaru and Temari, Choji, Gaara, Rock Lee, Shino, and Sasuke were all given children for this story. The status of these canon characters in this timeline is barely known, and the status of Sakura, TenTen, and Kiba isn't even mentioned in the slightest. The focus of this RP was more on created characters, while canon characters were merely referenced and used only when absolutely necessary.

The plot of the story was focused around the threat of the newly reformed Akatsuki organization as they sought to capture the tailed beasts. There were new Jinchuriki, with all the former Jinchuriki being dead, with the exception of Gaara. This story was never actually finished. After being open for a year and 3 months, the story ended during its 6th chapter on Tuesday, July 28th 2015. The forum members who participated in this RP were The Administrator, The Flow, Crash Ryan 96 (barely), and Drakoblade\_13.

### Reboot

After taking a break on the forum for a few months, ideas were tossed around among the active members and it was decided that a Kingdom Hearts RP would be launched. This RP didn't last long, and the members took another break for a few months. It was eventually decided that the Life of a Shinobi RP should be rebooted, and the OOC of the reboot was posted on Tuesday, September 6, 2016 with the name 'The Life of a Shinobi 2'. Date of IC launch Thursday, October 27, 2016.

It was decided that the timeline of this RP would be 17 years after the events of Naruto Shippuden, putting it about 2 years after the Boruto movie. Canon characters will likely take a greater role in this RP, although created characters will still be the focus.

The Flow

The Flow was the 4th member of Kakashi Forum, joining on March 4th of 2012. The Flow has participated in every RP so far on the site, and was

    responsible for directing chapter 2 of the Kingdom Hearts RP.  The Flow is probably the second most active player on the site. The Flow at some point attempted to start his own RP on the forum during the time of the original Life of a Shinobi RP.  However, the other active members preferred to focus on the Life of a Shinobi RP and so The Flow's story got little attention and was eventually deleted.  The Flow is male and his location says "Riding on a cloud."

## **The Life of a Shinobi**

The Flow participated in the Life of a Shinobi RP from the beginning and is currently participating in the reboot.  The Flow contributed significantly to the progression of the story in chapter one and was responsible for recruiting Drakoblade\_13 to fill the vacancy left by Crash Ryan 96 due to his inactivity.  The list of characters RP'd by the Flow are as follows.

1) Mugen Kakusu-ken

2) Akira Kakusu-ken

3) Kaito Uzumaki

4) Kitsune Kasai

5) Yumi Saruwatari

6) Hiro Nakamura

7) Taka Uchiha

8) Kaori Yamanaka

## **Kingdom Hearts: Heartless Rising**

As a participant in the Kingdom Hearts RP, The Flow was instrumental in providing information about the Kingdom Hearts world to the Administrator (who had never played the games).  The Flow directed chapter 2 of the Kingdom Hearts RP. This was actually the first time anyone other than The Administrator had directed a chapter.  Unfortunately, The Flow had writers block, causing the chapter to be real drawn out and thus, boring the participants.  Posts in the chapter got less frequent and eventually stopped altogether, leading to the "death" of the RP. The list of characters RP'd by the Flow are as follows.

1) Royce Aylmore

2) Aedre Aylmore

3) Koga
Primary Lotus

The **Primary Lotus** (Romanji: ***Omote Renge*** ) is a special taijutsu technique. The user kicks their opponent into the air continuously till reaching a certain height. They get behind their opponent while in the air, restrain them (either with bandages or simply arms) and then pile-drive them into the ground head first while rotating at a ferocious speed.
Leaf Whirlwind

**Leaf Whirlwind** (Romanji: ***Konoha Senpū***) is a taijutsu move where one launches a succession of high kicks and low kicks. Firstly, the opponent's evasion margin is restrained upon seeing the high kick, thus augmenting the chances for the low kick to hit the mark. So originally the high kick is little more than a feint. The technique can also be used in the form of a spinning-roundhouse kick through the air, either alone or in unison with another user for more efficiency.
Lava Style: Lava Monster Jutsu

The **Lava Style: Lava Monster Jutsu** (Romanji: ***Yōton: Yōkai no Jutsu***) manipulates a strong acidic mud flow, even capable of corroding flesh. The user changes chakra inside their body into a powerful acidic fluid that will melt anything and spits out the viscous fluid from their mouth. Both the shape and the amount are determined by the user. By spitting it out at short-range the technique's speed increases. By distributing the liquid across a vast range, the user creates an acid wall. Anything that touches it will crumble and lose its shape. Should the initial attack miss, a great deal of smoke is created by the effects of the acid, so a follow-up attack can be conducted while the enemy's vision remains obscured. The name comes from the fact that the jutsu acts a lot like lava.
Subjugates

Subjugates is the classification of affiliation that represents the belief that Humans must be exterminated or enslaved.

## List of Subjugates

### Exogino

Exogino are the race that started the Subjugate affiliation. They are a race of giant creatures that are long evolved. The first Exogino that humans saw was Dionysus in Greece, 2048.

### Dusk of Being

The Dusk of Being is a cult that worships the Exogino and believes that human ceasing to exist is required for the world to continue. They however do not think of themselves as high and mighty over other humans, but more as a driving force for the apocalypse.
Rento Aya

Team Iruka

Rento Aya is a jonin level shinobi who appears in both the original and reboot of the Life of a Shinobi RP, and in both, serves as the facilitator of the Chunin Exams.

## Background

In both the original and reboot, Rento serves as the facilitator for the Chunin Exams. Unlike in the anime and manga, where each portion would have a different facilitator, Rento Aya is the facilitator for all three portions, making his job much more significant.

In the Life of a Shinobi reboot, it is noted that Rento Aya was formerly a member of Team Iruka along with Sanmaru Nara and Onsui Kobaida.

## Personality

Rento didn't have a very developed character in the original Life of a Shinobi, so not much of a personality was seen. However, he does appear to have some degree of assertiveness, as he showed in Chapters 3-4 when he jumped in to stop Doske from killing Hizana in the Chunin Exams Tournament. Rento has yet to appear in the reboot.

## Abilities

In the original Life of Shinobi, Rento showed that he was capable of using Water Style techniques. He used the Water Style: Raging Waves to put out a fire on Chojin's hands during the Chunin Exams preliminary rounds. It is assumed that his only chakra nature is water.

## The Life of a Shinobi

Rento Aya had little significance in this story, merely serving as the facilitator during the Chunin Exams. He was killed "off screen" in chapters 3-4 by the Akatsuki member Rokku during the invasion of the Leaf by the Cloud.

## The Life of a Shinobi 2

In this RP, Rento has a new look. Also, because the Chunin Exams is being held in a different village, Rento simply participates as the head of security for those participating and attending as Leaf citizens.
Ninja Art: Poison Fog

The **Ninja Art: Poison Fog** (Romanji: ***Dokugiri***) is performed when chakrais kneaded within the body and then changed into special chemical substances which are then ejected through the mouth. When this substance comes in contact with the air outside the body, it instantly changes and is transformed into a mist of deadly poison. The poison's ability to kill is tremendous, as even just breathing in a small amount will mean the end of the target's life. As this technique combines ninjutsu, chemistry, and medical knowledge, using it requires fine chakra control and advanced ability in medical ninjutsu
Rasengan

The **Rasengan** is a spinning ball of chakra formed and held in the palm of the user's hand.

## Rasengan

### Nature type

None

The Rasengan was created by Minato Namikaze, which he based on the Tailed Beast Ball. He spent three years creating the Rasengan, which he intended to be the highest form of shape transformation. Like many of Minato's jutsu, the Rasengan does not require hand seals to perform. Once it is formed, it also does not require any additional chakra to sustain it, which means that there is no definite limit to the number of times that the Rasengan can be used. Though the Rasengan's shape is consistent from user to user, its size varies from only barely large enough to be noticeable to much larger than the user's hand. With greater experience with the Rasengan comes a larger size. Naruto became the primary user of this technique in the series and has since become a signature technique of his along with the Shadow Clone Jutsu.

On contact, the Rasengan grinds into its target, propels them along the Rasengan's trajectory - either away from the user or into the ground beneath them - and at some point bursts, causing severe damage at the point of contact.

So far the Rasengan has only been used by two people in the Life of a Shinobi RP. The two individuals being Konohamaru Sarutobi and Kaito Uzumaki, the non-canon son of Naruto and Hinata. Hizana Uzumaki, the non-canon daughter of Naruto and Hinata, managed to activate the technique during the Chunin Exams Tournament. However, she was unable to maintain it long enough to successfully use it against her opponent.
Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu

**Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu** (Romanji: ***Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu***) is technique where chakra kneaded inside the body is converted into fire and expelled from the mouth either as a massive orb of roaring flame or as a continuous flame-thrower. The scope of the attack is altered by controlling the volume of chakra that is mustered. The Uchiha clan uses this technique as a "*coming of age*" rite, and as such, is a common and favoured technique amongst them.
Organization M

Organization M is a large intelligence and peacekeeping organization that operates almost solely from and on the planet Earth in the United Universe RP. All the main characters are members of the organization.

## History

Organization M was started 89 years ago by an American scientist, Japanese robotics specialist, German politician, French military general, and Teigan wizard. The German politician was made the first commander, while the others became captains of the first 4 squads. The organization grew exponentially over the next few decades and is now officially supported and overseen by the United Nations.

## Structure

Organization M has a leadership structure similar to that of the Soul Society in bleach. The Head Commander is the primary leader of the organization. The Commander is held accountable to the United Nations. Second in command after the Head Commander is the Deputy Commander. Under the Deputy Commander are the squad captains. There are currently six squads. All squad captains are of equal status in the organization and have no authority outside of their squads. Squads are all structured differently, as the captain is free to organize, recruit and fire as they please.

List of Squads:

Squad 1 - Galactica

Squad 2 - Technode

Squad 3 - Mystic

Squad 4 - Legion

Squad 5 - Insight

Squad 6 - Blacklight
Reverse Summoning Jutsu

The counterpart of the **Summoning Jutsu** (Romanji**: Gyaku Kuchiyose no Jutsu**), this technique allows an animal to summon humans that they have a contract with. Gamakichi used this technique to summon Naruto to Mount Myōboku to begin his training. Fukasaku has also been shown summoning Naruto's shadow clones from Mount Myōboku with the use of a scroll. Unlike the normal Summoning Technique, this technique does not seem to have a time limit on the human being summoned.
Dynamic Entry

The **Dynamic Entry** (Romanji: ***Dainamikku Entorī***) is basically a jump kick to the opponents face. It can either be performed by running up to the target and using the momentum of the run to continue flying as the user extends their foot, or it can be performed by jumping and using some unknown force to propel towards a target. The latter is mostly seen in video games.
Zashimaru Renji

Team Sanmaru

Zashimaru Renji is a member of Team Sanmaru in both the original and reboot of the Life of a Shinobi. Although originally designed by The Administrator, RPing control of the character was transferred to Drakoblade\_13.

## Personality

Zashimaru has a pretty cocky personality, and is always trying to impress the ladies.

## Abilities

Abilities utilizing his chakra natures of Fire, Wind, and Scorch have yet to be shown. However, in the original Life of a Shinobi RP, Zashimaru was shown to possess the Shadow Clone Jutsu, Transformation Jutsu, and the genjutsu Demonic Illusion: Death Mirage. Zashimaru is also very skilled in the use of weaponry, preferring to use weapons over ninjutsu or genjutsu.

## The Life of a Shinobi

### Chapter 2

In this chapter, the genin participated in the Preliminary Rounds of the Chunin Exams. The first battle was Zashimaru vs Inomi Yamanaka. Of course, Zashimaru was up to his usual flirting, but couldn't spend too much time on that. The battle consisted of Zashimaru knocking Inomi around the arena while she figured out a new move to do. Upon using a specific technique, Zashimaru would simply counter it. He eventually managed to get her in his genjutsu that caused her to pass out.

Zashimaru makes no further appearances in this RP.

## The Life of a Shinobi 2

In the Life of a Shinobi 2, Zashimaru Renji's name is changed to Renji Zashimaru
Chakra Hair Trap

For this technique, the user infuses their strands of hair with chakra to trap anyone that comes into contact with them. Although originally used with hair, a variation of this technique can be used with flower petals. Inomi Yamanaka is the only one to use this technique in the RP, and she uses flower petals.
Rebel Faction

The Rebel Faction is an unnamed military/political group that rebelled against the government of the Land of Vegetables several years ago. The group appears in the reboot of the Life of a Shinobi. The concept was created by The Administrator while the members are RP'd by Drakoblade\_13.

The Rebel Faction was defeated and most of its members were either killed or imprisoned. The only free/living members of the group at the beginning of the RP are Dangan, Yu, and Ken. Sometime before chapter 2, Dangan, Yu, and Ken kidnapped the daimyo's wife. The Land of Vegetables then reached out to Konohagakure for help and Team Raiku was sent on the job. The result was the rescue of the daimyo's wife and the defeat of the remaining rebels. Dangan and Yu were killed and Ken was imprisoned.
Mienna

Mienna is a jonin-level shinobi from Kumogakure and appears in the Life of a Shinobi original RP.

## Background

Mienna is the fictional daughter of Omoi and Karui.  Mienna was taught to always be loyal to the Raikage. As a result, she wasn't at all hesitant when given the mission to invade the Hidden Leaf village.

## Personality

Mienna is spunky, energetic, and even in a battle, always positive. She also comes off as surprisingly childish and innocent.

## Abilities

All that is known of Mienna's abilities is that she possesses the lightning style and can charge her weapons with lightning chakra.

## The Life of a Shinobi

During the invasion of the leaf in Chapters 3-4, Mienna confronted Kazuma as he was attempting to aid in the battle. As the two were fighting, they were eventually interrupted by Mugen. Mugen unintentionally interrupted their battle, but decided to aid Kazuma by shooting Mienna in the foot with one of his crossbow bolts. Raiku then took Mienna into custody while Mugen and Kazuma joined the greater battle.

Drakoblade 13

Drakoblade\_13 (yes it is an underscore, not a space) is the 5th and newest member of the Kakashi Forum, joining on

June 28th 2014. Recruited by The Flow to join the forum, he quickly became more active than Crash Ryan 96 ever was. Drakoblade\_13 has greatly influenced the direction of the RPs he has been a part of, which would be all of them up to this point. Drakoblade\_13 is male and his location says "The fires of Mordor." He is also the only member who has made his birthday and age visible to other members on the site.

## The Life of a Shinobi

Drakoblade\_13 began to participate in the Life of a Shinobi RP during chapter 2. His main character quickly became a rival for The Flow's main character, making for some interesting dialogue between the two. Drakoblade\_13 was also the last member to post in the story before it was closed. The characters RP'd by Drakoblade\_13 are listed below.

1) Kazuma Ryuuga

2) Hizana Uzumaki

3) Zashimaru Renji

4) Sanmaru Nara

5) Hinata Hyuga

6) Mao Miyazaki

7) Rokuro

8) Ryuko Ryuuga

9) Hiryu Ryuuga

## Kingdom Hearts: Heartless Rising

Drakoblade\_13 participated in the Kingdom Hearts RP with two characters, Shiro and Aida. It can definitely be said that these two characters had the most interesting dialogue, mainly due to their relationship with one another. The relationships between other characters certainly would have developed over time, but the story was cut short during only its second chapter.

## The Life of a Shinobi 2

Drakoblade\_13 is currently participating in the reboot of Life of a Shinobi.
Sunagakure Characters

This is a list of characters that hail from the Hidden Sand Village in the Life of a Shinobi RP and the reboot. Both canon and non-canon characters are listed, but only those that have made an appearance in the IC of the original or reboot of the RP are listed.

1. Gaara
2. Ayano
3. Hayate
4. Gorick
5. Yuudai
Team Raiku

Team Raiku from the Life of a Shinobi reboot

Kaze Kakusu

Chie Rurugen

Kaori Yamanaka

Ryan Kasai

Team Raiku, also known as squad 5, was a standard shinobi team formed under the leadership of Raiku Zari. Team Raiku serves as the main protagonist team of both RPs. The team also has the most forum members involved out of any other team with The Administrator, The Flow, and Crash Ryan 96 RPing members in the original, and The Administrator, The Flow, Crash Ryan 96, and ShadoWind RPing members in the second. The team appears in both the Life of a Shinobi original and reboot but is slightly different. Raiku and Mugen are a part of both teams.

## The Life of a Shinobi

In the beginning of a Life of a Shinobi, the newly organized Team Raiku is tested to see if they can operate as a proper team. The members of Team Raiku in the original Life of a Shinobi were Mugen Kakusu-ken, Kaori Yamanaka, and Ryan Kasai. The three genin completed the test but Ryan was sent back to the academy because of his failure to give any significant contribution to his team.

For the remainder of this RP, Team Raiku was short one man. Despite this, their team still participated in the Chunin Exams.

## The Life of a Shinobi 2

In this RP, the story began again with Team Raiku being put to a test. They were not successful at meeting their intended goal, but they did pass the test. The team in this RP was made up of Mugen Kakusu-ken, Kaze Kakusu, and Chie Rurugen. Unlike the first RP, all three genin passed this test.

The team went on their first mission in chapter 2 when they traveled to the Land Vegetables for a rescue mission. Chie showed some serious initiative during this mission, managing to kill an opponent in a one on one fight that could be comparable in strength to a Chunin.
Kuhika

Kuhika is an antagonist who appears in the final chapter of the Life of a Shinobi original RP.

## Background

Kuhika is a Yigonist and is Craelor's most recent successful experiment.  Kuhika went through one of the most extreme transformations after her experiment.  The color of her hair and skinned changed, her muscles became defined, and strange marks appeared on her face.  Kuhika is also responsible for killing an akatsuki member about a year ago.  With that incident, the akatsuki recognize the Yigonists as a serious threat, but have no intention of pursuing them. It is unknown what land of village she hails from.

## Personality

Kuhika has a very cocky and rude personality

## Abilities

Not much is known about Kuhika's ninjutsu abilities except that she is able to use the Yigon Shield, a special technique of the Yigonists. Other than that, she does possess enhanced strength and speed due to the Yigonist experiments.

## The Life of a Shinobi

### Chapter 6

Kuhika appears in this chapter when her and Sashren confront Akira, Mao, and Jo Feng. Mao throws down paper bombs to cover their escape, but Sashren's leopard tracks them down, allowing the Yigonists to locate them. Jo Feng attacks them with his flower shuriken jutsu, but Kuhika simply blocks the attack with her Yigon Shield.

With it becoming clear that combat is unavoidable, Akira rushes over to slice Kuhika's throat. Despite Akira's speed, she is only able to graze Kuhika's neck, as Kuhika was quick enough to avoid a lethal blow. Sashren and his leopard then engage Akira and Mao rushes to her aid. Sashren confronts Kuhika and attacks her with a flurry of punches. Kuhika's speed and strength allow her to easily counter all of his attacks and eventually dislocate his shoulder.

Jo Feng was clearly outmatched, but eventually, Kaito showed up after having dealt with Hiryu Ryuuga. Kaito ran over and punched Kuhika, only for her to grab his fist and headbutt him. Suddenly, 3 of Kaito's clones jumped on top of Kuhika with one holding a kunai to her throat. Hiryu showed up out of nowhere and destroyed the clones. He then grabbed Kuhika (who was apparently weak enough to need carrying even though she had barely been injured), had a little dialogue with the leaf ninja, and then fled the seen. Kuhika made no further appearances in the chapter.
Kyogus

Kyogus is a massive scorpion and personal summon of Gorick who appears in the Life of a Shinobi original RP. He was the second animal to be summoned by Gorick in his fight against Kazuma during the Chunin Exams Tournament. Kyogus was badly wounded by Kazuma's Yagu Shinkage-ryu after he attempted to crush him. After being badly injured, Kyogus cancelled his own summon.
Zaku Matemishi

Water Clone Jutsu

Zaku Matemishi is a Jonin-level freelance mercenary from Kirigakure.

## Background

Zaku felt under appreciated as an average shinobi and began to operate as a mercenary. He fled his village and became a missing-nin, eventually becoming a part of an underground mercenary guild in the Land of Water. Zaku was hired for a special job by a wealthy business man and crime lord named Gantaco Shimada, and was eventually hired on permanently as a regular mercenary.

## Personality

Zaku has a fairly impulsive personality. When angry, he usually makes rash decisions.

## Abilities

Zaku relies heavily on water ninjutsu, making him the most lethal when near large bodies of water. Zaku hasn't shown to be proficient in any non-water based ninjutsu.

## The Life of a Shinobi 2

### Chapter 3

In this chapter, Team Sanmaru is on an escort mission. Their mission is to escort Elijah Ramu to a location in the Land of Water for a business meeting. Zaku is one of several mercenaries sent as a team to eliminate Elijah before he reaches his destination.

While Elijah and Team Sanmaru are on a public vessel bound for the Land of Water, they are attacked by these mercenaries and a gang of pirates. Zaku and Mukuro board the ship and attempt to kill Elijah while he's above deck. However, they are kept at bay by Team Sanmaru, allowing Elijah to get below deck.

As they fight, Zaku is kicked in the head by Kamiko. This provocation leads him to use a lot of his chakra to perform a massive water jutsu and knock everyone off deck. The shinobi on board manage to grab the railings or cling to the side of the boat, while the passengers and pirates get knocked into the sea.

As everyone recovered, Kamiko and Renji engaged Zaku. Zaku attacked with a kunai, but Renji dodged the attack. Kamiko followed up by heel dropping Zaku, only for him block the attack. She managed to jump away from Zaku before he hit her with his kunai. Suddenly, while Zaku was still focused on Kamiko, Renji used the Fire Ball Jutsu at super close range, setting Zaku on fire. Zaku frantically ran across the deck screaming and jumped into the sea.

Zaku made his return later in the chapter when the team made landfall and rested in a hotel for the night. Zaku infiltrated the hotel and ran into Kazuma, who was keeping watch. The two engaged in combat while Yoshino, who had run into Kazuma just seconds earlier, went to go alert the others.
Yigon Shield

The **Yigon Shield** is a unique ability possessed by Yigonists. It allows the user to create a bubble-like shield with chakra. It isn't clear exactly how strong the shield can become, but it is at least capable of deflecting small projectiles. What also isn't clear is if the technique is known to all Yigonists or if only some are able to use it.
Kia Shirayuki

Team Tanzu

Kia Shirayuki is a genin-level shinobi of Konohagakure and is a member of Team Tanzu along with Habashi Hyuga and Eren Kyokotsu. Kia appears in both the original and reboot of The Life of a Shinobi as a member of the same team. The inspiration for Kia's last name comes from Sode no Shirayuki, a zanpakuto from Bleach.

## Background

Kia is the daughter of two exceptional medical ninja of the Hidden Leaf.  As a result, Kia grew up learning how to use medical jutsu and thus knows fairly advanced techniques for her age.

## Personality

Kia is a very quiet and reserved individual.

## Abilities

Although she excels in medical ninjutsu, she knowns very few non-medical ninjutsu, and also has little to no skill with genjutsu or taijutsu.

## The Life of a Shinobi

In the original Life of a Shinobi, Kia Shirayuki is only mentioned and doesn't actually have a real appearance. It is shown that, in the preliminary rounds of the Chunin Exams, she fought Ayano, the daughter of Gaara, and was defeated. No details of this fight were given, but it is understood that all the losing combatants did survive their fights.

## The Life of a Shinobi 2

Kia has yet to make any sort of appearance except as a ninja info card in the OOC.

Summoning Jutsu

The **Summoning Jutsu** (Romanji: ***Kuchiyose no Jutsu***) is a space–time ninjutsu that allows the summoner to transport animals (or other non-human creatures), objects or people across long distances instantly and frequently uses blood as a sacrifice.

Before an animal summoning can be performed, a prospective summoner must first sign a contract with a given species. The contract comes in the form of a scroll, on which the contractor uses their own blood to sign their name and place their fingerprints and once signed it is valid even after the contractors death as long as the contract itself remains intact. After this, they need only offer an additional donation of blood on the hand they signed the contract with, mould their chakra with hand seals and then plant the hand they signed the contract with at the location they wish to summon the creature. The amount of chakra used during the summoning determines how powerful the summoned creature can be. It is possible for a summoner to summon a group of the same contracted animal.

For summoning objects or people, a contract is not required. The object or person being summoned simply needs to be tagged beforehand and can then be summoned at will. Unlike animals, who require a contract, tagged humans have no control over their summon. Animals, however, can choose to return to their home whenever they want.

Yu

Yu
--

Yu is an antagonist that appears in Chapter 2 of the Life of a Shinobi reboot.

## Background

As a part of the program to organize a shinobi village in the Land of Vegetables, Yu began training about 15 years ago. In the program, he trained alongside Dangan, Ken, and Kaita among a few others. When civil war broke out in the Land of Vegetables, Dangan, Ken, and Yu joined the rebel faction and fought against the government. At the war's end, Dangan, Ken, and Yu fled the capitol to regroup. All other members of the rebel faction were either killed or imprisoned.

Eventually, Dangan, Ken, and Yu returned to the capitol and kidnapped the daimyo's wife, Wanda Katama. They held her as a ransom for the throne of the land.

## Personality

Yu has a very calm, slightly sadistic, personality.

## Abilities

Yu possesses the water style chakra nature, allowing him to use various water techniques. He's also proficient in the shadow clone jutsu and is able to create a large number of them.

A unique ability possessed by Yu is the ability to stun his opponents by sending a surge of chakra through their body upon contact.

## The Life of a Shinobi

### Chapter 2

Yu first appears undercover when Team Raiku is having a meal with the daimyo of the Land of Vegetables. He sneaks a paper bomb in the room and badly injures the daimyo. Raiku runs into the hall to try and catch him, but Yu catches him off guard and stuns him. Yu then manages to escape.

Later, Yu ambushes the team of Kaita and Chie. He knocks Chie out for a bit and fights Kaita one on one. He manages to incapacitate her by stunning her the same way he stunned Raiku. He's then able to deal with Chie one on one. The battle was one sided, with Chie using nothing but water clones and Yu countering all of them. Eventually, however, Chie tricked Yu and trapped him with her Sticky Clone Jutsu. She then used the opportunity to stab him in the heart with her kunai.
Earth Style: Dark Swamp

The **Earth Style: Dark Swamp** (Romanji: ***Doton: Yomi Numa***) is an A-rank ninjutsu. By changing the surface of an object beneath the target into mud and creating a swamp, the user can sink their target into the mud. The adhesive, chakra-infused mud ensnares the body, making it almost impossible to recover one's strength and escape from the swamp. The size and depth of the created swamp depends on the user's skill and the amount of chakra used, but if the user is an expert in this technique, it will always be possible to make a fair-sized swamp which is extremely effective against a great number of enemies or when having to face gigantic creatures.
Exogino

Poseidon, an Exogino

## Origins

The Exogino (also known as Exogin) are a race of giant creatures attempting to take down and possibly enslave the human race and every other living thing on the planet Earth in order to once again regain control over their 'home'.

### History

Exogino are a species of long evolved creatures that descended from humans before evolving into giant, feral monsters. They went into a hibernation shortly before the dinosaurs appeared on the planet, though they were never discovered until one attacked Greece in 2048.
Tanzaku Town

**Tanzaku Town** (also called Tanzaku Quarters) is a town in the Land of Fire and is a fair distance from Konohagakure. It is a lively town that attracts many adults due to its gambling opportunities and fine women. Much of the Search for Tsunade during part 1 takes place in or around Tanzaku Town at the same time that a festival is going on. The Tanzaku Castle was a popular tourist attraction, but was destroyed by Orochimaru.

## The Life of a Shinobi

In the original Life of a Shinobi RP, a team organized of Sanmaru, Mugen, Kazuma, and Nani is sent from the Leaf village to Tanzaku Town in order to find Emeni Raite, the four tails Jinchuriki. The bulk of chapter 5 is focused in this town. Although lively at the beginning of the chapter, a battle ensues between the organized leaf team and two members of the Akatsuki, resulting in the destruction of the town and the death of a large number of its people. In this town, the leaf team also meets an Uchiha named Taka.
Yuudai

Team Yuudai

Yuudai is a jonin-level shinobi from Sunagakure, and appears in the Life of a Shinobi original RP. As the most trusted adviser of Kazekage Gaara, Yuudai was made the godfather of Ayano as well as the leader of Team Yuudai.

## Background

Yuudai is one of the Kazekage's most trusted advisors.  While serving as an advisor, Yuudai's intelligence and combat skills were highly praised by Gaara.  Yuudai has completed many S-rank missions and served as an interim instructor for a few months after the former instructor died of a heart attack.  Gaara trusted Yuudai so much, that he made Yuudai Ayano's godfather.  Once Ayano graduated from the academy, Gaara formed team Yuudai and placed Ayano directly under Yuudai's tutelage.

## Personality

Yuudai made a very brief appearance in the RP, so not much is really known about his personality.

## Abilities

Not much is known about Yuudai's abilities. All that is known is that he is able to create gusts of wind and cancel genjutsu.

## The Life of a Shinobi

Yuudai made a brief appearance in Chapters 3-4 during the Akatsuki and Cloud invasion of the leaf. Hiro Nakamura, the 2 tails jinchuriki, attempted to capture Ayano in the confusion. Hiro trapped her in a genjutsu but Yuudai intervened and released her. Yuudai instructed Ayano to leave while he kept Hiro occupied. Moments after Ayano left, Hiro noticed that his employer, the Raikage, had died. Therefore, he no longer had a reason to participate in the invasion.
Man Beast Transformation Combo

The **Man Beast Transformation Combo: Two Headed Wolf** (Romanji: ***Jinjū Konbi Henge: Sōtōrō***) is a technique where the user and their ninken become a single entity. It is a specialty of the Inuzuka clan, where they fuse into a two-headed wolf; drastically increasing their size and power. In their direct attacks, they demonstrate great efficiency. Furthermore, using techniques in addition to this gives birth to an extraordinary destructive power.

A variation of this technique was used in the Life of a Shinobi RP by Sashren where he fused with his leopard instead of a ninken.
Chidori

The **Chidori** is a high concentration of lightning chakra around the user's hand.

The Chidori was created by Kakashi Hatake after he failed to apply his lightning-nature to the Rasengan. To perform, the user first gathers lightning to their hand; the high concentration of electricity produces a sound reminiscent of many birds chirping, hence the name. The lightning chakra has been shown on occasions to damage the user's hand, peeling the skin and causing it to smoulder slightly, but this does not appear to actually be debilitating. Once the chakra is gathered, users charge at their target and thrust the Chidori into them, piercing them and typically causing fatal damage. Despite the sound it makes, the rapid speed at which it's used makes it useful for assassinations.

The speed at which the Chidori is performed, despite being one of its greatest assets, also represents one of its biggest drawbacks: users move at their target so fast that its causes a tunnel vision-like effect for them. Because they charge in a straight line it is easy for opponents to attack them, and because of the tunnel vision it is difficult for the user to see these attacks, much less react to them. For this reason, most ninja cannot use the Chidori safely. If the user has a Sharingan, however, these drawbacks are overcome: the Sharingan's heightened visual perception prevents the tunnel vision from occurring and its predictive capabilities make it easy for the user to avoid counterattacks. Kakashi's reaction time with the Chidori eventually became so good that he was able to split a bolt of lightning with it, earning his Chidori the name "Lightning Cutter".

The Chidori requires a large amount to chakra to be performed, placing a limit on how many times it can be used per day. In Part I, Kakashi can use it four times per day and Sasuke Uchiha can use it twice per day under his own power. Both increase their limits to an unspecified number in Part II. During Part II, Sasuke demonstrates several variations of the Chidori that have been given shape transformation, such as Chidori Senbon and Chidori Sharp Spear, both of which allow him to attack at a longer range than the Chidori is capable of.
Mao Miyazaki

Mao Miyazaki is a Jonin-level shinobi from Kusagakure. She appears in the unfinished Chapter 6 of the Life of a Shinobi original RP.

## Background

Mao grew up in Kusagakure and followed her parents footsteps to become a medical ninja. Little is known about how she became a vessel for the Seven-Tailed Beast, but rumor has it that she was acquainted with the previous Jinchuriki, Fu, possibly even an intimate relationship and may have accepted it out of a sense of responsibility and in remembrance of her.

## Personality

Mao is gentle, kindhearted, and optimistic. She hates violence but isn't a pacifist. If necessary, she will fight to protect herself and her allies.

## Abilities

Mao is proficient in medical ninjutsu which includes a small number of offensive techniques, one of which being the Ninja Art: Poison Fog. As a jinchuriki, it is unclear what special abilities she possesses. Like all jinchuriki, she does have massive chakra reserves.

## The Life of a Shinobi

### Chapter 6

Mao makes her appearance in the last chapter of the Life of a Shinobi original RP. In this chapter, Akira Kakusu-ken and Kaito Uzumaki are sent to Kusagakure to encourage Mao to come back with them to Konohagakure for protection from the Akatsuki. However, the Feudal Lord of the land of Grass, Yori Mabori, was unwilling to let her go as the country was in the midst of a civil war. Akira and Kaito offered to help eliminate the opposing forces if Mao would be allowed to leave with them. Yori agreed to the offer.

Akira, Kaito, Mao and her body guard, Jo Feng, were sent off to deal with the Yigonists, a religious extremist cult threatening the country. While out looking for the Yigonists, they encountered a masked stranger who wanted to capture Mao. Kaito tricked him him with clones and the group managed to escape. However, they were immediately confronted by two Yigonists and the masked stranger eventually caught up with them.

Kaito took on the masked stranger, who revealed himself to be Hiryu Ryuuga, while Akira, Mao, and Jo Feng fought the Yigonists. Mao used smoke bombs to cover their escape but Sashren, one of the Yigonists, had a pet leopard who was able to locate the fleeing shinobi with his sense of smell. Realizing they couldn't outrun the Yigonists, Akira and the gang chose to fight.

The Yigonists proved to be formidable opponents, badly injuring Jo Feng in battle and knocking Mao unconscious. However, the gang came out victorious. Sashren and his leopard were killed while Kuhika was knocked unconscious and taken away from the battle by Hiryu. Only moments after finishing that fight, the gang is encountered by three members of the Akatsuki and Hiryu eventually returns, working alongside the Akatsuki. The gang fought their attackers but they were exhausted and outmatched. They managed to escape but their attackers eventually caught up with them. It is unknown how this chapter would have ended as it was cut short due to inactivity.
Humans

**Humans** (*Homo* *sapiens*) are the dominant species on planet Earth and are the primary focus of the Naruto anime and manga as well as the Life of a Shinobi original and reboot. The majority of characters in the RP are human, including the main protagonists and antagonists.

   Humans are uniquely adept at utilizing systems of symbolic communication (such as language and art) for self-expression and the exchange of ideas, and for organizing themselves into purposeful groups. Humans create complex social structures composed of many cooperating and competing groups, from families and kinship networks to political states. Social interactions between humans have established an extremely wide variety of values, social norms, and rituals, which together form the basis of human society.

Curiosity and the human desire to understand and influence the environment and to explain and manipulate phenomena (or events) has provided the foundation for developing science, philosophy, mythology, religion, anthropology, and numerous other fields of knowledge. Although other species in the Naruto universe share many of these similarities with humans, it should be noted that humans are the ONLY species in which all of its members are sentient. Humans were also the first Earth species to learn ninjutsu.
Emeni Raite

Emeni Raite is a Jonin level Missing-nin from the Waterfall Village and the Jinchuriki of the 4 tails Son Goku. She appears as the primary focus of The Life of a Shinobi Chapter 5.

## Background

Emeni was always a skilled shinobi as a child, and once she became a Jinchuriki host at the old age of 12, she became very arrogant.  At the age of 23, Emeni left her home village in search of a better life.  She has traveled the world for the last 5 years, going from town to town and evading anbu from her village.  Emeni's rough nature and arrogant attitude have kept her from making any real friends, and she pretty much just lives her life as a gambler, drinker, and occasionally, a prostitute.  Tanzaku Town is a common place that Emeni visits; usually making an appearance every 2 months.

## Abilities

Nothing is really known about Emeni's abilities, as she didn't show any of them in the RP. However, as the Jinchuriki of Son Goku, it is at least known that she has huge chakra reserves.

## The Life of a Shinobi

### Chapter 5

In chapter, a team made up of Sanmaru Nara, Kazuma Ryuuga, Mugen Kakusu-ken, and Nani Aburame was organized to track down Emeni Raite in Tanzaku Town. Their goal was to convince her to come to Konoha with them so they could protect her from the Akatsuki.

Upon arriving at Tanzaku Town, the gang split up. Mugen and Kazuma stumbled upon a bar where Emeni was. They tried to keep a low profile in order to not draw any attention. After talking with the bartender, they were able to have a chat with Emeni. She was under the impression that they were customers, so she traveled with them to a nearby hotel. Once there, they revealed their true intentions to her. She wasn't interested in traveling to the leaf and was convinced she could deal with the Akatsuki on her own.

Almost immediately after this conversation, they were attacked by the Akatsuki members Rokku and Danji. Sanmaru and Nani eventually arrived on scene. The ensuing battle resulted in the death of Rokku and the destruction of Tanzaku town. After watching the leaf ninja fight, Emeni agrees to travel with them to Konoha.
Kingdom Hearts

Kingdom Hearts, aka Kingdom Hearts: Heartless Rising, is an RP inspired by the video game series Kingdom Hearts.

### RP Inspiration and Plot

Kingdom Hearts is a well known video game franchise. The basis of the game's popularity is its crossover of characters and concepts from Final Fantasy and Disney to create a unique adventure across multiple worlds. The crossing between worlds allows for a variety of different experiences. This made for a perfect RP idea. The Administrator had never actually played the game but was familiar enough with it. Two other members, The Flow and Dracoblade\_13, had played the games. The RP launched its first chapter on Sunday, August 23rd 2015.

The story takes place in a future/alternate time period.

### End

Due to writers block and a gradual decline of interest, the RP "died" in its second chapter with the last post being made on Monday, February 29th 2016. The thread was locked when the Life of a Shinobi reboot OOC was started.
