Onigumo

*"This world is poisoned. The venom has sunk keep into the veins and has spread across the entire body, and as a result salvation is nearly impossible. As a result our only option is to cut away at the body piece by piece and replace it with something new. In the end the world may not be recognizable, but it will be saved. A beautiful world without blemish or impurities. A perfect web."*  Onigumo to Yaksha Members

## Introduction

Onigumo is a member of Yaksha and a former Shinobi of Tanigakure and a former bandit. Onigumo was born with a sword in her hand, and she plans to die with one. When she was thirteen she was engaged to the son of her Kage. A boy named Manobu. Protesting the arranged marriage she killed Manobu and fled the village. She then joined a team of bandits and began to raid the country side. When the Tani Shinobi caught up to the gang they discovered that they where all dead. Onigumo had turned her blade on them as well killing them to the last man. She continued to jump from bandit gang to bandit gang killing them after a year or so of work. This continued till she meet Tsubame. Tsubame recruited her into joining Yaksha.

At night she wears a ninja mask or a gas mask depending on how she feels. She will wear it in the day as well, but usually when she is not near a village.

## Personality

Onigumo is a spider. She likes to center herself into a group, get people to trust her, and then kill them once they become of no use to her. This mind set comes from years of living with bandits and brigands. Most of her comrades are trash and as a result she sees no reason why to not to kill them. At that point she simply weighs their worth and makes a logical decision based on benefit to risk ratio.

Onigumo's sees herself as nothing more than a blade. Her entire life since she was born she has had a sword in her hand. As soon as she could walk her father began to teach her the way of the sword. From footwork, to meditation, to swordplay, and eventually live combat. Onigumo life has always been that of the sword. Her father told her to give up on the idea of marriage, and focus instead on being a blade. She took that to heart as a child, and after he was killed in a mission she made it her life's goal to master the sword.

Onigumo lives to test herself and to hone her edge. It is for that very reason she joined Yaksha. She knew as a member she would cross blades with powerful shinobi. She could test her discipline, and tactics against the best the ninja world had to offer.

### Kenjutsu

Onigumo is a kenjutsu specialist. She primary focus on using her sword in combat. While she is a jack of all trades in most other reguards her swordsmenship is masterful. Onigumo has mastered the fundamentals of Kenjutsu and has combined that with Ninjutsu to enhance it. She also uses Yin-Release to further enhance her abilities. It should be noted that Onigumo is ambidextrous. She can user her sword effectively in either hand.

**Void Slash** - Void slash is a kenjutsu Ninjutsu move. Using wind Jutsu she can create a powerful vacuum when she swings her sword allowing her to cut sturdy and large objects.

**Tengu Talon** - Tengu Talon is a Jutsu that allows Onigumo to create a extended aura of Chakra that is infused with the wind element. It comes off the sword when she wings extending the swing of her sword. This allows her to cut thought extremely large objects without having to generate enough force to create a massive pressure wave.

**Battojutsu** - Battojutsu is simply sword drawing slash. The user draws the sword from the sheath and cuts with it. The motion causes the sword to swing faster as it exits the sheath. Onigumo combines her wind element with this. As she draws the sword she releases wind element Chakra which causes the sword to exit the sheath at much faster speeds. This not only increases the speed of her sword draw, but it also increases the power of the swing as well.

**Falcon Strike** - A Battojutsu skill that creates a pressure wave when she swings her sword. It comes off as a falcon that flies from her blade and strikes a target.

**Falcon Twister** - Falcon twister is a Battojutsu attack. The user draws their sword from their sheath. The sword however is drawing at a 45 degree angle, causing the blade to come out the sheath up and then slash down. It is slower than a normal Battojutsu, but has more power. There is also another hidden effect. The slash creates a powerful tornado around the user slashing those around them in a 360 degree radius. The technique for this move was stolen by Onigumo from a hidden leaf village taijutsu master. Unlike him however she is unable to make a dragon, but she seeks to perfect it still.

**Extra Grip** - Onigumo keeps Chakra strings attached from her hand to the hilt of her sword. It is a fail safe if she ever drops her sword in battle for whatever reason.

**Mushin** - Mind without a mind - It is a ability that Onigumo gained after years of training, meditation, and focus. She can suppress her emotions and fight off her instincts alone. Mushin is a Yin Release technique, however it is not truly a jutsu.

**Shin no Ippō** - The Shin No Ippo is the term Onigumo uses for her sword spirit. It is a form of Yin Release that comes unconscious. With the Shin no Ippo Onigumo is capable of expressing and suppressing her bloodlust. By expressing it she can incapacitate weaker foes and intimidate animals. Suppressing it she can make herself come off as less a threat that she is. She can also sense other peoples bloodlust, and even pick up on hints of it when it is suppressed.

### Ninjutsu

**Tengu Dance** - Tengu Dance is a jutsu where she floods her muscles with Chakra and then activates Yang Release on them. It causes her muscles to become denser and stronger. This allows her to release the restraints on them allowing her to drastically increase her speed and power. The Jutsu holds her muscles and bones together keeping her from injuring herself.

**Muramasa's Edge** - Muramasa's Edge is a jutsu where Onigumo infuses her chakra into a blade. If she has a chakra blade she does not have to do this, but the Jutsu can work with any edge. She then infuses the wind element into it. This allows her to cut at the cell level. The strength of this Jutsu is so strong that she can cut thought steel as if it was butter. This allows her to cut thought other swordsmen blades, Kuni, walls, and other objects.

**Wind Step** - Wind Step is a Jutsu where Onigumo creates disk of chakra. These disk are filled with Yang chakra and wind Chakra. It makes the disk harden wind. Onigumo uses the Wind step to allow her to jump multiple times in the air. She can also use it as a shield to block attacks.

**Jorōgumo's Web** - Jorōgumo Web is a Jutsu that creates hundreds of very small chakra strings like silk. These strings are infused with the wind element giving them the ability to cut like blades. She spreads them around the battlefield allowing enemies to cut themselves to ribbons as they run thought these unseen blades.

**Dragon Twister** - Onigumo swings her sword in the air causing air to flow around it using wind jutsu. She then creates a tornado around her sword and then swings her blade sending the tornado at a target. The tornado then travels forward ripping everything in it's path apart. This jutsu is also her counter against fire release users. Using her wind jutsu she is capable of creating cold air. She then creates the Dragon twister with cold air. When she throws it at her opponent it begins to suck in the hot air causing them to mix and turn. The Twister soon becomes a actual tornado that grows more powerful with fire Jutsu ripping her opponent apart.

**Chameleon Jutsu** - A jutsu that surrounds Onigumo with a layer of wind. That wind keeps her smell locked around her body. The air also reflects light around her body allowing her to not be seen, nor have a shadow.

**Wind Whisper** - Wind Whisper is a Jutsu that allows Onigumo to enhance or suppress sound using wind. She can use the jutsu to allow sound waves from peoples conversations to flow thought to her ear, or she can use it to suppress the sound she creates or others she is talking to.

## Background

Onigumo was born to A Kunoichi and a Ronin. Her father, Matsumune, was banished from the Land of Iron as punishment for the action of his late uncle. He was obsessed with the sword and when his family cut open their bellies in shame he refused. Fleeing to the land of Iron he took up work as a mercenary honing his edge against bandits and rouge ninja alike. Eventually he was defeated by a Kunoichi by the name of Madoka. Madoka spared his life because he was cute, and the two started a relationsip. Two years later Onigumo was born.

When Onigumo was born her father declared she would be the greatest swordswomen to ever walk the world. Her mother, didn't really care and let her dumb husband do what he wanted. He named her Onigumo because he was sure no man would want to marry a girl named such. As soon as she could walk and talk he began to train her. he showed her the proper way to step, how to move faster, how to swing a sword, and how to think like a warrior. The couple had other children after Onigumo, but her father could care less about them. Onigumo was his pride, joy, and his focus.

Under her father she excelled as a swordsmen and under her mother she got a knack for Ninjutsu. As a result eh excelled in the academy and began to shine as a star in her class. She was declared a prodigy and graduated from the ninja academy at the age of nine. She went on to become a Chunin by the age of Twelve. By that time she was a true swordswomen in her own right. Her father still trained her, but she quickly was outclassing him. Not wanting to be left behind by his daughter he began to take on missions with his wife. Eventually he started to take missions on his own with his own team, and one day he did not come home.

Matsumune was killed in a mission, but not from a enemy attack, but friendly fire. One of his team mates, Kuno, accidentally shot him in the back with a jutsu. Kuno delivered the news to her mother and the family. He left out the part about him killing her father. That part came out later when Kuno and her mother started dating. Despite this her mother did not care, and the two eventually got married. It was then that Onigumo realized that her mother knew the entire time, and probably planned for it. The revelation hit her like a slap to the face.

Onigumo spent the next year training herself and putting distance between her mother, and the murder of a step father she had. She was never close to her siblings, but the gap grew greater when they accepted the murder without any hesitation. Traitors, the whole lot of them, thought Onigumo. She started to see the poison in the world. A year later she was still running missions and following the path her father set for her. Her new step father then announced that she was to be married to Manobu. She objected, but her objections was struck down. It was a arranged marriage and she had no say in it. The Kage agreed, and his son was more than happy with the match. Onigumo began to see the cage starting to surround her.

The two meet the week before the marriage to talk. it was formal thing, a way for the two to get to know each other. Onigumo resided herself to being married, but she was not going to give up on her swordsmanship. In the conversation she expressed her desire and concern to continue to be a Kunoichi and to fight with her blade. Manobu would have none of that. He wanted her to mother his children and watch after the home. She could practice her swordsmanship, but he did not want to put her at risk by going out on missions. That, was the final straw.

Onigumo refused his offer, and she refused to marry him. Drawing her sword she challenged him to a duel to settle the point. Manobu agreed thinking he was the better fighter. He soon discovered he was not. Onigumo left him bleeding to death on the floor and fled the village. Covering her tacks she eventually escaped the perusing ninjas. She later heard that he died while hiding out in a tavern. Leaving the Land of Rivers she sought out work as a mercenary. However she had trouble finding it. While wondering the woods she ran into a local bandit gang. Hungry, tired, and looking for work she defeated their boss and made a deal with them. She would work with them if they feed her and gave her a chance to fight strong opponents. They agreed and for a year she ran with them. Eventually she got tired of their crap and unwanted advances and killed them. She then left the nation and moved to another where she found another gang of bandits. Repeating what she did last time she joined this band of brigands as well. A year later, she killed them as well.

She made it a habit of joining brigand gangs and assisting them in their jobs. She stayed with them till they did something she did not like and then she would kill every last one of them. This habit continued till she ran into a strange women. The women came to her while she was in a village, and offered to recruit her. She offered her good work, strong opponents, but most of all a chance to change the fate of the world. That caught Onigumo's attention. Killing the brigand gang she was a part of she left and joined Yaksha. Now, she works for the Akatsuki. She often wonders if she going to end up killing this entire group as well.
