Mirai Miyazaki

Mirai Miyazaki is a shinobi of the Miyazaki Clan, in Kumogakure.

## Background

Born to Unoameri Tenkō and Raita Miyazaki, Mirai Miyazaki grew up alongside her younger sister, Reone Miyazaki, who was just a year her junior. Their family lineage was rich in shinobi heritage, as their father was the grandson of the second Raikage, making him the nephew of the Fourth Raikage.

At the tender age of four, the fourth shinobi war erupted, casting a shadow over their lives. Mirai found herself in the academy, her potential skyrocketing due to the unlocking of Bolt Release, a revered Kekkei Genkai of the Miyazaki clan. Unlike her sister, who eagerly embraced the prospect of becoming a shinobi, Mirai wished to distance herself from the horrors of war. She cherished her time in Kumo, relishing friendships and fun, preferring the comfort of the village over the battlefield.

Meanwhile, Reone was determined to join the ranks of the shinobi, driven by her own mastery of the Bolt Release. Their parents, seasoned warriors, devoted their time to training both sisters, sharing their knowledge as the foundation upon which the siblings built their skills.
Upon Reone's entry into the academy, she excelled in every aspect of her training, quickly garnering attention and admiration from her peers. Mirai, although relatively skilled herself, was overshadowed by her sister's natural aptitude. However, Mirai welcomed this anonymity, feeling uneasy about being the center of attention due to her early mastery of the Bolt Release.

When Mirai was seven, the sudden demise of the Fourth Raikage shook the village. A new era dawned as the Fourth's son, A the Unruly, ascended to the position of the Fifth Raikage. In response to the ongoing Third Shinobi War and the scarcity of shinobi, the new Raikage made a pivotal decision, lifting the age restriction and allowing children as young as six to participate in the conflict. This decision horrified Mirai, who wished desperately to avoid the harrowing experiences of war.

Reone swiftly advanced to the rank of Genin and entered the battlefield, displaying exceptional skills. Mirai, however, found herself struggling to graduate despite her relative proficiency. The criteria for young shinobi remained stringent, leaving Mirai frustrated and feeling the injustice of her sister's early involvement in the war. Determined to stand by Reone's side, Mirai intensified her training efforts, hoping to bridge the gap and join her sister on the front lines.

### Genin

    At the age of eight, Mirai's perseverance finally paid off, and she achieved the rank of Genin. This accomplishment marked a turning point in her journey, validating her hard work and determination. Reuniting with her sister, who had also unlocked the Solar Release, the other esteemed Kekkei Genkai of the Miyazaki clan, Mirai felt a deep sense of pride and camaraderie. The emergence of both Kekkei Genkai in a single individual was a rarity, a phenomenon that had not occurred in their clan for fifty years.

Despite the recognition that she would never catch up with her prodigious sister, Mirai embraced the opportunity to fight alongside Reone. United, the two sisters ventured onto the battlefield, their complementary skills weaving a tapestry of devastation. Together, they became a formidable force, their combined abilities proving pivotal in bringing the long-standing war to a close. Their strategic prowess and unmatched techniques earned them widespread acclaim, with both sisters being acknowledged as major contributors to the war's end.

During the war, at the age of six, Mirai experienced the profound loss of her mother due to the ravages of the third shinobi war. Tragically, the war claimed another victim when her father passed away at the age of eight. Mirai found herself yearning for a life where her parents had never been drawn into the conflict. The weight of her parents' involvement in the war burdened her heart, filling her with a deep sense of regret and longing for a different fate.

Following their parents' demise, Mirai and Reone found solace under the care of their grandmother, Za-nō Iga, affectionately known as Grandma Z, who happened to be the older sister of the Fourth Raikage. Despite the shared loss, Mirai quickly formed a close bond with their grandmother, finding comfort and warmth in her presence. However, Reone remained aloof, maintaining a distance that Mirai found unsettling.
Reone's apparent lack of emotional response to their parents' deaths puzzled Mirai, making her uneasy about her sister's seemingly detached demeanor. Seeking reassurance, Mirai confided in Grandma Z about her concerns. In response, Grandma Z gently explained that grief was a deeply personal journey, and each individual coped with loss in their own unique way. Her words served as a balm for Mirai's worries, helping her understand the complexity of emotions and the different ways people navigate the pain of losing loved ones.

When Mirai was nine, Reone showcased unprecedented mastery over many elemental releases – Water, Lightning, Bolt, and Solar Release. Such proficiency was awe-inspiring, earning her a coveted position as a member of the Raikage's esteemed team alongside the prestigious rank of Chūnin. Her meteoric rise through the ranks left Mirai astounded and somewhat bewildered. As Reone soared higher, Mirai, recognizing the vast gulf in their abilities, chose a different path.

Seeing her sister's rapid ascent, Mirai redirected her focus towards teamwork and community service within the village. However, fate had a different plan for her. In an unexpected turn of events, Mirai discovered her own affinity for Solar Release, marking a historic moment – the existence of two individuals within the clan possessing both Kekkei Genkai abilities. This revelation excited her, igniting a newfound determination to explore the untapped potential of her unique power.

The divergence in their paths soon led to a confrontation between the sisters. Reone, driven by her unyielding ambition, challenged Mirai about her lack of fervour. Mirai, feeling insulted, tried to convey her efforts, explaining that she was striving to improve. Yet, in Reone's eyes, Mirai possessed untapped potential, waiting to be unleashed if only she pushed herself harder. Reone longed for their bond to echo the camaraderie shared by the Raikage and Killer B, an aspiration that seemed increasingly distant.

Their discord deepened after this conversation, and their once-close relationship fractured under the weight of the disparity in their abilities and ambitions. Their interactions grew strained, their shared past overshadowed by the growing gap between their potential and achievements, creating an emotional chasm that seemed impossible to bridge.

### Chūnin

At the age of ten, Mirai achieved the esteemed rank of Chūnin, a milestone that filled her with pride. By this time, she had already mastered Fire, Lightning, Yang and Bolt Release, showcasing her exceptional elemental skills. Her journey towards mastery continued as she diligently worked on honing her abilities in Water and Solar Release. Beyond her elemental prowess, Mirai's reputation as a helpful and amicable member of her village grew. Her kindness and willingness to assist her fellow Kumo citizens earned her the respect and admiration of many.

In the eyes of her peers, Mirai was seen as a shinobi destined for greatness, often considered second only to her exceptional sister, Reone. However, Mirai resisted this label, believing it was premature to assert that she could surpass the might of the Fifth Raikage or his brother, Killer B. She acknowledged their superior strength, recognizing the formidable gap that still existed between them and herself.

To carve her unique path and further distance herself from her sister's shadow, Mirai made a deliberate choice. She delved deeply into the art of Shurikenjutsu, mastering techniques involving the precise throwing of shuriken, kunai, and small knives. Mirai envisioned integrating these techniques with her limited taijutsu skills, aiming to bolster her physical combat abilities. Moreover, she experimented with chakra flow, channeling her energy in innovative ways to create even more devastating and versatile techniques.

This strategic approach allowed her to diversify her combat style, ensuring she was not only a master of elemental jutsu but also a formidable force in the realm of weaponry and hand-to-hand combat. Through her dedication and creativity, Mirai sought to become a well-rounded and resourceful shinobi, continuously evolving her skills to face any challenge that came her way.

At the age of eighteen, Mirai accomplished a significant feat, mastering both Solar and Water Release techniques. Eager to enhance her Shurikenjutsu skills, she also devoted her efforts to refining her Wind Release abilities. Reone, now a seasoned Jōnin, teased Mirai about her pursuit of mastering all basic nature transformations, including Yang, Solar, and Bolt Release. Mirai didn't grasp the humor in Reone's jest, dismissing the notion that she intended to fully master Wind Release, opting instead to use it as needed.

By the time Mirai reached nineteen, Reone had fulfilled her ambition, mastering all basic nature transformations, along with Yang, Solar, and Bolt Release. Mirai was both impressed and concerned, echoing the sentiment shared by many: when would Reone's thirst for mastery ever be quenched? Mirai couldn't help but worry about her sister's unyielding pursuit of power, fearing the potential consequences of her relentless drive.

A few months later, news broke that Reone had become a missing-nin, having confronted and threatened the Fifth Raikage and Killer B, resulting in the deaths of fifteen elite guards under the Raikage's command. While the revelation saddened Mirai, it didn't entirely surprise her. She had sensed her sister's trajectory, predicting that Reone would resort to such drastic measures in her quest for strength. Mirai, aware that opposing her sister directly could lead to her own demise, chose not to interfere.

In the aftermath, attention turned to Mirai as Reone's sister. Trying to maintain a low profile, she withdrew from the spotlight, seeking solace in solitude while silently hoping that her sister's actions wouldn't lead to irreparable consequences for both of them.

At the age of twenty, Mirai's life took a new turn when she started dating Ryōji Tenkō, a fellow Kumo Jōnin. Their connection had begun a few years earlier during a mission, where they first met. After the mission, they spent a lot of time together, forming a close friendship. However, life pulled them apart, and they lost contact for a while.

When they rekindled their friendship, it quickly blossomed into something more. As they spent time together once again, they both realized the depth of their feelings for each other, and their friendship transformed into a romantic relationship. Their shared experiences as shinobi and the bond they had developed over the years laid the foundation for a strong and meaningful connection, marking the beginning of a new chapter in both of their lives.

### Jōnin

At twenty-five, Mirai achieved a significant milestone in her shinobi career. She was promoted to the esteemed rank of Jōnin and entrusted with the responsibility of guiding the next generation of shinobi as a Jōnin sensei. This opportunity had been a long-standing dream for Mirai, who had expressed her desire to become a sensei.

The prospect of leading her own team filled Mirai with excitement and anticipation. Having always harboured the aspiration of mentoring young shinobi, she embraced this new role wholeheartedly. The Third Shinobi War had deprived her generation of the traditional genin teams, making the chance to nurture and shape the skills of future shinobi even more meaningful. With her wealth of experience and diverse skill set, Mirai was ready to impart her knowledge, wisdom, and guidance to her students, helping them navigate the challenges of the shinobi world and preparing them for the responsibilities ahead.

Her team was Team Z-Y, with members Junko Yotsuki, Iroha Ōmukang and Tamiya Ookumo.

Mirai Miyazaki, despite trailing behind her sister in skill, commands considerable power as a prominent member of their clan. Her mastery centers around her affinity for Lightning chakra, a force she wields with unmatched precision. This elemental choice grants her the ability to unleash devastating lightning strikes, each under her complete control. To complement her lightning prowess, Mirai has also achieved mastery in Fire Release, channeling this elemental skill to create blazing infernos and manipulate heat with finesse. Her adeptness in these elemental arts is not merely a coincidence; both Fire and Lightning releases form the foundation of her Kekkei Genkai abilities, pushing her to excel in their use.

Mirai's proficiency extends further to include Wind Release among her elemental natures. Utilizing this wind affinity, she amplifies the power of her fire and solar techniques, creating destructive combinations on the battlefield. The wind, under her precise control, becomes a tool for both offense and defense, enhancing her overall combat strategy.

Within her clan, Mirai possesses a unique legacy, mastering two distinctive Kekkei Genkai abilities.

This dual mastery sets her apart, showcasing her as a true prodigy within her clan, a force to be reckoned with in the shinobi world.
