- Akitomo Omori describing Yoshiko Ōtsutsuki

**Akitomo Omori** (大森明智, *Omori Akitomo*) is a shinobi of Konohagakure from the Warring States Period, husband of Yuzuki Omori, adoptive father of Sadao Omori and the head of the Omori Clan.

Through his deeds in the First Shinobi World War, Second Shinobi World War and Third Shinobi World War he was considered a candidate for Hokage but turned it down.

## Overview

     Born to unknown parents during the Warring States Period, Akitomo's early life was shrouded in mystery. He grew up alongside his younger twin brother, Aritomo Omori, in a humble shack situated outside what would later become the fire capital. Unfortunately, tragedy struck when Aritomo was unexpectedly killed by an unknown shinobi, leaving Akitomo devastated and alone.

In the years that followed, as the villages were being founded and the shinobi world was undergoing significant changes, Akitomo found himself wandering aimlessly, consumed by loneliness, hunger, and fear. Confused and desperate, he continued his journey until he finally succumbed to exhaustion near the outskirts of the Fire Capital.

Fate intervened when Akitomo was discovered by patrolling samurai who came across his weakened state. They took him in and, recognizing his dire circumstances, interrogated him about his proximity to the capital. Akitomo, with nothing left to lose, candidly explained his plight, revealing that his clan had been wiped out, leaving him with no home or resources. Hunger had driven him to investigate the new place in search of sustenance and hope.

Impressed by his honesty and touched by his unfortunate circumstances, the samurai decided to bring Akitomo's case before the fire lord. After careful consideration and an in-depth conversation with Akitomo, the fire lord extended his hand of compassion and offered him a chance at redemption and a new purpose. Seeing potential in the young man, the fire lord entrusted him with an opportunity to prove himself.

With a renewed sense of determination, Akitomo seized the opportunity and dedicated himself to the path of the shinobi. He underwent rigorous training, honing his skills in the art of combat and mastering various shinobi techniques. As time passed, Akitomo's efforts did not go unnoticed, and he became an indispensable asset to Konohagakure, contributing to the village's triumph in both the First and Second Shinobi World Wars.

Akitomo's commitment, bravery, and unwavering loyalty earned him the respect and trust of his peers, superiors, and the fire lord himself. As his reputation soared, he ascended the ranks of the shinobi world and eventually became one of the esteemed Twelve Guardian Ninja, an elite group chosen to protect the fire lord and his interests.

Throughout his life, Akitomo carried the weight of his past, the loss of his brother, and the struggles he endured as a wanderer. However, through his perseverance, resilience, and the opportunities afforded to him, he forged a new path and found a sense of purpose in protecting and serving Konohagakure. Akitomo's journey from a forsaken and broken individual to a revered shinobi is a testament to his indomitable spirit and the transformative power of compassion and second chances.

## Appearance

Akitomo, much like his twin brother Aritomo Omori, possessed a striking physical appearance that left a lasting impression on those who encountered him. Standing tall and proud, he boasted a lean muscular build that exuded both strength and agility.

His most distinctive feature was his long and spiky hair, which he adorned with red tips and typically tied back in a ponytail. However, in contrast to his brother, Akitomo's hair had a slightly wavier texture and shorter bangs, adding a unique touch to his overall look.

When it came to his attire, Akitomo favored a combination of colors and traditional garments that reflected his individuality. He adorned a vibrant red haori, a loose jacket-like garment, which he wore over a pale orange-colored nagagi kimono. The kimono, with its flowing design and understated elegance, emphasized his grace and poise. Complementing the ensemble, he donned a pair of black umanori-styled hakama, a type of wide-legged trousers commonly worn by samurai.

To complete his footwear, Akitomo opted for zōri, traditional Japanese sandals, with red straps and white tabi socks, which added a touch of contrast to his ensemble.

Akitomo's most notable physical feature was his right arm, which had been lost during the tumultuous Fourth Shinobi World War. In an extraordinary turn of events, his arm was recreated and infused with the legendary cells of Hashirama Senju, the renowned shinobi and founder of the Hidden Leaf Village. This infusion not only granted Akitomo increased chakra levels, bolstering his overall power, but also bestowed him with limited Wood Release abilities.

With this newfound power at his disposal, Akitomo could manipulate and control the very essence of nature, manifesting his strength and determination in formidable ways. The amalgamation of Akitomo's physical appearance, his reserved demeanor, and his augmented arm formed a unique and captivating individual.

His striking presence and the enigmatic air surrounding him made him a figure of intrigue among his comrades and adversaries alike. Akitomo's distinctive style and exceptional abilities further solidified his place among the ranks of the shinobi elite, ensuring that his legacy would endure in the annals of Konohagakure's history.
