Gōkō Ashida

Gōkō is the direct descendant of the Ashida Clan (足駄一族, “Water Clog Clan”; “Ashida Ichizoku”).Having being born within the Land of Water under the watchful eye of his older brother Mizuchi, Gōkō is viewed as the new clan prodigy, the ‘Next Mizuchi’ although he is but a Chunin . Unlike his brother he grew up in a relatively safe environment because his older brother did not want Gōkō to be in the public eye he protected him until he was of age to attend the academy.

## **Background**

**Gōkō** is the direct descendant of the **Ashida** **Clan** (足駄一族, “Water Clog Clan”; “Ashida Ichizoku”). He was born with the ability to manipulate liquid matter to the extent in which he can lift it out of a cup or cause water to vibrate rapidly.Having being born within the Land of Water under the watchful eye of his older brother Mizuchi, Gōkō is viewed as the new clan prodigy, the ‘Next Mizuchi’ although he is but a Chunin . Unlike his brother he grew up in a relatively safe environment because his older brother did not want Gōkō to be in the public eye he protected him until he was of age to attend the academy.

During his academy days, Gōkō honed his Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, Kenjutsu and Genjutsu skills which prior to his involvement with the academy was poor. At the age of 8, His brother started teaching him the ways of the samurai although he wasn’t as sharp as him but he was getting there, at 10 years old, his older brother passed on the beliefs of the samurai and of his clan onto him.

After Graduating, Gōkō became notorious for wiping out a battalion of rouge shinobi, beheading each and everyone of them in the process, after that mission Gōkō became a killing machine and by his third D-ranked misssion, he had amassed a total of 14 kills.

## **Personality**

Gōkō is very childish and cocky because of his upbringing, he was told that he wasn’t to be pushed around by anyone. He believes in a philosophy that the weak only purpose is to serve the strong. Growing up as the newest and best prodigy and having classmen inflate his ego he grew up believing that the world will accept him with open arms and will continue to do so. He was described by his fellow academy students as: brash, egotistical and full of himself.

There are only a handful of people whom he doesn't act this way around these people being: His older brother, Sister in law and close friends, despite that it is still extremely rare to see him being selfless. He is generally nonchalant about most things, although in moments that require for him to be serious he will become as serious as he possibly can be even becoming overbearing in life or death situations.

## **Appearance**

Gōkō Ashida, is a rather lanky, muscular yet lean shinobi. Judging from his sheer height alone he was about six feet tall, the typical height for a man. However, the height of the teen is far above most men within the Land of Water. A glowing figure he has with an ebony tone of skin which seemed to be always natural moist and pronounced especially in the Sunlight. There is nothing as wonderful as his orbs which brought more of a handsome offset to the beautiful young man. The orbs of silver were quite a remarkable keen, his eyes hold an unwavering amount of warmth, that can quickly turn mercilessly cold, especially when he stares into your eyes.

With the beautiful offset of eyes, he had the longest mane of jet-black coloration almost reaching the mid-section of his back, however, as it is almost always tied in a bun or a ponytail it is hardly noticed on the real length of the hair. It is quite a beautiful sight to behold though he seemed to well be groomed physically.

## **Tools**

**Haganenokiba** (鋼の牙, “Steel Fang” ) forged in the land of iron per request of Mizuchi, made by arguably the best blacksmith in the business Nobunaga, this blade was gifted to Gōkō by Mizuchi after his graduation from the academy. The weapon resembles a traditional Katana but it has a curved, reverse single-edged blade with a short grip to accommodate one hand rather than the standard two. Haganenokiba was sharpened until it couldn’t be anymore; this allows for Gōkō to use it swiftly enough to remove the head of an enemy in one swipe. Since the blade was made for swift usage it is lighter and it grants more ease with movement.

**Hikishio no meisu**(引き潮のメイス, "Mace of the Retreating Tide" also known as "The Isobu Mace") created from the severed appendages and the fragmented shell of **Isobu,** the three tails and the harnessing of the dna of **Isobu**. This weapon was another gift from Mizuchi, one that he entrusted to Gōkō, in order for him to protect his younger brother, Mizuchi's chakra alongside that of Isobu allows him to have a kind of telepathic connection with the weapon, quite literally allowing him to watch his brother. Due to the Mace having the dna of Isobu, it has remarkable defensive capablilities being able to withstand two tailed beast bombs and still function. Another unique quality of the mace is it's ability to grant it's weilder a tailed beast cloak that enhances the weilder's strength. The weakness of the weapon lies within the eye of the mace if damaged the weapon will start to crack due to the unstablity of it.

## **Chakra and Attributes**

The subject of Gōkō’s chakra is intriguing as described by a local sensor of the Ashida Clan, Gōkō’s chakra is 'As Deep and as Vast as the Ocean he seems to have a terrifying amount of control over it .'

### Chakra

Chakra: Aquatic Chakra

Gōkō’s chakra can be described as the raging ocean in terms of vastness and ferocity. The depth of his chakra was described by a sensor as 'Monstrously Deep', his chakra has also been described as unsettlingly eerie but on several occasions sensors have said that his charka is very calming and reassuring as if they are on a leisurely boat ride.

### Chakra Reserves

Chakra Reserves: **Advanced** ———Chakra Control: **Average**

Gōkō has been buliding up his chakra and deepening his chakra pool through vigourous training regiments that would normally drain a regular chunin of their chakra. He has been practicing this regiment since he was in the academy, this alongside regular chakra excersie has made his charkra reserves deeper than a regular shinobi his age.

### Chakra Control

From birth until now, the elders of the Ashida Clan and his Older brother have compared the youths chakra control to that of a trained jonin. Gōkō is said to have abundant amounts of chakra reserves for his age, this abundant amount of chakra can easily be compared to as deep as bottomless a pit. His chakra control is seemingly as natural as a human breathing.

### Life Force

Most if not all Ashida Clan members have remarkable Life forces. Gōkō's Life force is overwhelming and most things that would mortally wound and harm people, he is able to walk off with general ease. Gōkō's lifeforce could be sensed even from miles away as if it were a beacon of light that shone brightest in moments of peril.

## **Abilities**

### Sensory

Chakra is something which can be mountainous and easily felt depending upon its user's reserves. Sensitizing and discerning chakra varies from village to village. Gōkō , on the other hand, strives in pinpointing and tracking individuals by their chakra, with the ability to even easily discern the chakra and the actions of the individuals and their chakra. Though it is through the Kekei-Genkai of his clan he is more reliant on to sense his enemies. The Ryūdōgan as it's called gives the Ashida Clan heir endless potential of not only sensing but comprehending his enemies maneuvers before they even imply it. This is somewhat similar to the function of the Sharingan, hence the reason the eye of Ashida Clan stands as a rival of the Sharingan with its abilities.

### Intelligence

Gōkō is notorious for his Intelligence both on and off the battlefield. Ever since he was but a few months old he could read and comprehend most things toddlers would fail to, by the time he was 5 years old he had the cognition of an adult man, because of this he excelled in the Academy. On the battlefield, Gōkō is always the one to strategize plans to help his teams Missions go smoothly, he often plans these strategies before hand based on the description of the mission. He displayed his genius during the Chunin Exams when he outsmarted a team of Genin that were searching for his scroll, he not only caught them in traps but also interrogated them.

His intelligence doesn't end there however, despite his cocky attitude when he is serious, Gōkō's knowlegde of the human Anatomy can be a weapon in and of itself, he uses this knowlegde during interogations to make sure his point is heard loud and clearly by the poor soul that is getting interrogated.

### Hand Signs

Within the early stages of his life, Gōkō did not care to learn about hand seals. He only cared for performing powerful techniques at his whim. However, many different teachings under Mizuchi taught him that he had to rely on hand seals sometimes to cut down on the chakra usage. Even though many of his attacks or techniques do not necessarily contain hand seal usage but he still is regarded as skilled enough shinobi within the art of weaving seals. Day in, day out the Ashida Clan has been practicing his seals especially the ones associated with his elemental usage—swiftly growing into a more efficient in the art.

### Speed

When it comes to speed, Gōkō is far superior to average chunin, depending merely on his foot movement, shifting of his body such as reflexes. Since Gōkō's sword technique **Shiranui-ryū(不知火流)** relies heavily on the movement of his limbs, nameley his legs and arms, Gōkō himself has achieved a vast speed conditioning through training, Gōkō has trained himself to be able to move his limbs upon a whim. Cutting down his opponents within the blink of an eye, with not just one or two thrusts of the blade—even through his simple sword draw can be quite mesmerizing to the eyes, Gōkō can make the simplest of movements seem unfathomable for someone his age,

## **Jutsu**

### Taijutsu

This is a basic form of technique and refers to any techniques involving the martial arts or the optimization of natural human abilities. Taijutsu is executed by directly accessing the user's physical and mental energies, relying on the stamina and strength gained through training. It typically does not require chakra, though chakra may be used to enhance its techniques. Not an area in which Gōkō completely excels within but it's an area that he ultimately is growing within. Much like most of his clansmen, Gōkō does not naturally have superhuman strength. Instead, he possesses a slightly thin frame as a result of his excessive practices and various regiments. However, underneath his clothing, Gōkō has quite a muscular appearance, yet when compared to shinobi his一age his body is stronger than most. Unlike most, Gōkō has trained his body breathing and movement exercises to become terrifyingly flexible. Most of Gōkō's mastery doesn't come from direct combat, but his ability to receive attacks and swiftly counter them with his body's elasticity, bobbing, and weaving easier than most. Gōkō has adept knowlegde when it comes onto the usage of chakra enhanced taijutsu moves,when using said techniques Gōkō aims to disarm and immobilize his opponent much like a snake.

## **Kekkei Genkai**

**The Ryūdōgan** (魔法炉眼, "The Flowing Eyes", English TV; "Eye Of Flowing") is the lesser-known Dōjutsu of the Ashida clan that appears selectively among its members. The eyes are said to be a mutation that appears within a select few individuals within the clan, generally revealed when members make their pilgrimage to Lake Nageresōsu (流れ, "Source of Flowing", English TV; “The Flowing Source”). The waters within the lake are said to be unnaturally pristine, rippling with a supernatural power said to reflect the truth of all things, a belief strongly shared amongst the Ashida. The eyes are said to bequeath its wielder with three particular abilities.

**Mizukaki** (水掻き, “Water Scrying”) is perhaps the most prominent ability of the clan, bolstering their ability to “Divine” the future of their prospective clients. The user spreads out their chakra and consciousness in the form of a vast lake or ocean surrounding them. Once properly spread every action and breath of those within the scope of the technique creates ripples within the once calm surface. Even the movement of one's chakra and other forms of power, regardless of how brief or minute causes a disturbance. The Ashida clansman is then able to visualize these ripples, reading and interpreting them, creating brief images to predict the most likely series of actions of those surrounding them. It is an ability that is strongly influenced by one’s level of chakra control. The user, if skilled enough is able to control the scope of the technique, shrinking or expanding it at their discretion. It’s said that because of the unique nature of this ability, members are able to easily detect Genjutsu, and even reflecting some using the ripples. It’s to be noted that it is said to be impossible for anyone outside the Ashida to detect the activation and use of this ability. Though powerful it is possible to overwhelm the user and the ability, creating more ripples than they could possibly interpret, generally forcing the user to cancel the technique to spare their mind.

**Suisei-te** (水生手, “Aquatic Hand”, English TV; “Water Touch”) the second and oddly enough, least popularized ability of the Ashida. The ability allows the user to use water and moisture as an extension of their own limbs. Through precise chakra control and focus, they cause the moisture to adhere to any solid surface. From here the user may manipulate the movement of the object. Lifting it into the air, pushing and pulling or even dropping, using the water and moisture as a medium, giving the illusion the objects in question are levitating alone. This allows the clansman to stop or move objects aside, to crush or even lift people and objects alike remotely. The technique is not without its restrictions; the heavier an object the greater strain placed upon the user, demanding more chakra, control, strength and focus on their part to properly manipulate the selected object(s).

**Suimu** (水舞, “Water Dance”) allows the clansman to heal infirmities and repair damage using the unique cyan waters of the clan. The clan's various scrolls state that it is an ability that borrows the waters from the revered Lake Nageresōsu, allowing it to dance seamlessly through them and those they care for. From here the waters soothes the pain of the selected, transferring medicaments where needed within the body at a molecular level, repairing and mending damaged cells and tissue through the controlled water molecules, and guiding out impurities within the body along the “dancing waters”. The ability to heal and aid themselves or another is proportional to the severity of the injury. The clan believes that the waters transport the ailments, disease, sickness and injuries directly into their sacred lake, and thus the ability should not be used haphazardly as the lake itself must have time to recover.
