Akiho comes from a tribe of Kaguya that wandered around Earth Country trying to live peacefully outside the Horde. She grew up in the Nishimura Tribe, hunting, cooking, taking care of one another and learning to value life, nature and what they bring. Until one day what was brought was Hive. Seeking more bodies for the Baron War Hive came to the tribe demanding allegiance and test subjects. When the Nishimura Tribe refused they were wiped out, stricken from all but memory of very few survivors. Survivors like Akiho were had been out hunting the tribe's dinner, or scouting their next camp site. When Akiho and the others returned they returned to devastation. No one was spared, not all were accounted for but they had no way of tracking them down and none particularly skilled in combat to be able to secure their return. They buried their dead, these four survivors, and planned their next course..

Amegakure, Rain Village. The city of mercenaries and shadows. It was here the last four Nishimuras found themselves, looking for some way to survive. And it wasn't long until they were taken advantage of by the underworld. Nika and Roshi, scouts Akiho grew up with, succumbed to the filth and honor-less paths of the criminal world, working as thugs and assassins for violent cartel-like organizations. Aoi, another hunter like Akiho, and Akiho herself heard about the war starting up with Baron, rumors and whispers.. Akiho wanted to join the war against Hive. Not out of vengeance but in hopes to find out what happened to those abducted from her tribe. Aoi was sick of violence. They had both always worshiped Shi, the Seikatsu Goddess of Death and so Aoi went to the Seikatsu temple and became a priestess for Shi, handling burial rites and services for the temple as needed.

Akiho went to Konoha... where her adventure began...

## The Bear of the Mist

Akiho's first mission was a slightly turbulent one. Her team was assigned to protect a festival happening in Lightning Country as it had been plagued with attacks from a bear. The team moved to the land of Lightning swiftly and spoke to the elder in charge of the festival. After a brief period a supernatural mist rolled in, accompanied by a large bear. The bear, riddled with ninja tools and weapons lodged in it's body, limped down the road towards Akiho. Pained by the condition of the animal Akiho attempted to approach it calmly, speaking to it gently while most of her teammates discussed grabbing her for not listening to their commands to return so they could attack the beast together. Slowly, while the others continued to plan an attack, Akiho removed the tools and weapons from the bear's hide. The others in the team began so see things in the mist whenever they talked about being violent towards the bear. Silhouettes and faces harassing them whenever they mentioned attacking. Akiho argued with the others, including the Chuunin in charge, that the animal wasn't evil or rabid. Simply in pain, and looking for something. Wondering why the bear would keep returning to a place it was injured Akiho asked the team to not give in to the violence and try to help the bear. Luckily two in her group possessed the Byakugan, and were able to discern a bear cub locked in a cage near the camps of workers in charge of setting up the festival. Her team spoke to the Elder once more while Akiho stayed with the bear to keep it from charging into the camp. The Elder immediately understood what was happening, yelled at one worker in particular and had the bear cub released. Momma bear and baby bear reunited happily and peacefully. And before they wandered off the mist shifted and thickened into the shape of a giant bear that seemed to approve of the actions taken of the peaceful members of the group before dispersing and shrouding the mom and baby bear in a blanket of mist as they wandered off.

## Nishikigoi

Yoru is an oddball. A thought Akiho thinks every time the giant of a man opens his mouth. But he'd been training her more in her Kenjutsu, helping her refine the basics she was taught by Osiris and Kazehana, and offering to teach her the Way of the Samurai once she became more proficient as a swordsman and a shinobi. Soon he invited her into his squad: Nishikigoi, a two team squad under the oversight of Ritoshi. Team A led by Ritoshi himself although he also trained Team B, of which Akiho was a part of, which Yoru led as a Special Jounin with the aid of Chuunin Sakane.
