## Biography

Sasuke did not have the best of childhoods, he was found by the current head of the Houou Conglomerate in Aokigahara under a hanging corpse of his supposed mother. The head felt sympathy for the babe and took him in hopes to train him to not die, he was named "Sasuke" after Sasuke Sarutobi because of that hope. He was trained since he was two to be a bodyguard and he showed signs of potential for being able to read and write at an early age, and being able to learn many ninpō and nenpō when he was six.

He was a Chuunin and captain of the guard by the time he made it to 2nd Grade but his liking towards people due to not really having a parental figure was rather jaded. At least that was until he met Chifusa, the Sonsaku clan were a branch family that had moved in as tenants of the Houou Conglomerate so Sasuke saw her often. She noticed that Sasuke was always so lonely and felt sorry for him, she offered her friendship and from there they were inseparable. They always looked out for one another and were always together. Chifusa also made sure that he behaved himself around other girls during their junior high years. Although it was during those years that Sasuke realized that only Chifusa was his true love, although he couldn't to able say that until on their 2nd year of high school. She happily embraced his confession of love and they became a couple although they had to wait to be able to be together. For Sasuke sought to become an assassin under the guidance of Hanzou and Chifusa sought to become a doctor under the guidance of Sayuri.

When they graduated the lovers bought a cottage on Niijima, from there Chifusa set up a clinic and rice farm for them. She frequently taught classes to help out with the farm and such. Sasuke however spend a lot of his time away from Chifusa performing duties as a bodyguard, slaying powerful Yōkai that were deemed a threat, plenty of dirty work, and missions of assassination. And he ended up in battles with other powerful assassins and nen users like White☆Star, Silva, Ging, and Kiriya. It was not long though that he started to thinking that from his experience of seeing who he fought were still human, and good and evil were simply labels but its for the individual to decide what is good or evil. He was one of the top 5 nen users in the world by that time and had written multiple scrolls, adapted Hanzō's Yang Super Secret Ninpo Scroll, and even stole Hebijo's Yin Super Secret Ninpo Scroll and learned its techniques. But he wanted a change, as he felt that assassination did not allow him to give to the world. But that came short for because of using one of the forbidden ninpo from Hebijo's Scroll he contracted 9 grade heart cancer. But on his death bed he said to Chahan and Chifusa "Don't mourn for me, I like other shinobi am disposable and there is no looking past that. But Chahan I wish for you to become an even greater shinobi than I could ever be, follow the ways of endurance and protect the ones you love! And also the Houo Conglomerate will need an heir, if you become strong I'm sure you will be more than enough. But don’t try to copy me, you’ll regret it in the end."

## Appearance

Sasuke was seen a and relatively muscular young man with pale skin, onyx eyes, and pitch black hair that looks like Goku’s. People sometimes mistake him for a vampire. From his multiple battles he has scars mostly around his abdominal area, back and face. Though the ones that he considers personal to he are a long scar that went down his eyelid given by White☆Star, and a blast-mark like scar on his lower abdomen given by Silva.

On missions he normally wears a relatively standard black and navy blue shinobi outfit with a mask over his face. But when he’s at home he normally wears either a loose fitting blue kimono with phases of the moon on it or just a famer’s outfit.

## Personality

Sasuke has been consistently displayed in description as being calm and collected but often callous. Although is not exactly the most friendly of people to be around, he normally prefers to distance himself from others unless needed. Kiriya personally has noted that he has a pretty cynical and pragmatic attitude towards the world. Sasuke also loves a good fight but prefers to perform his duties as an assassin and avoid fighting or at least finish any fights as soon as possible. When he fights he's pragmatism is something to look out for, he has been know for headbutting his opponents, sticking knives into his opponents and even cutting limbs off their head, ripping hearts out, using ninjutsu like nen'i at point blank range, and the same with weapons like his personal nigiri teppo which he uses more for emergencies. Although despite being a lethal shinobi he isn't really one to fight let alone kill opponents that are far weaker than him, and he often would knock them out cold and erase their memories of fighting him. He often would label opponents like these "little girls/boys."

He also despite being callous and such adores little children and would take any chances to dote on them if given the moment, he would even do the same with 16 year olds. He also follows a certain code for his duties as an assassin, although it is rather jaded because for example even though he is suppose "Stay thy blade from the innocent," he is not unwilling to kill witnesses, but it might be because he desired to preserve his secrecy to only rumors about him. Although he at least cremates the people that he's killed and gives them a burial at his home island.

The only person that he fears is his own wife, although she acknowledges the Sasuke is way stronger than her Sasuke fears her for having strong will that rivals his own, and also he wished to always protect her from the horrors and knowledge of being an assassin out a fear of Chifusa leaving him.

He doesn’t believe himself to be either being a good or evil shinobi, to him either supposed side is simply a label to make everyone fight each other that should be peeled off. He made Greed Island with Ging with this in mind.

He has at times shown to be able spare people who aren’t targets and almost show compassion to them, although it depends on his judgement of worth as a either a “friend” or rival, like with Ging and Silva. He even tried being a matchmaker for Ging with Asuka’s mother. Although that is as long as they never revealed any or at least too much knowledge about him.

Although he personally considers Kurokage to be his main rival, not just in strength but also in philosophy, Kurokage after all wished to only promote genocide for ”evil” shinobi while Sasuke promoted to stop calling each other by "labels" and instead try a compromise.

## Abilities & Powers (Work in Progress)

**Immense Strength**: Sasuke has been consistently stated to be far stronger than Chifusa who could with her raw strength punch a wrecking ball from Nagasaki straight to Abashiri. Although he himself does not focus on raw/blunt strength he is still deadly with a blade and has in battle been know to slice limbs and ligaments off his opponents as seen when he goes on team missions. Although part of the reason for his strength could be due to training with oversized heavy swords from an early age, although he has his preference for using knives.

**Immense Speed and Reflexes**: Sasuke is extremely quick on his feet. During his work as an assassin he has been known to kill at a very effective and efficient rate that would make assassins weaker than him envious. And even if gets caught he has been shown to easily dodge machine gun and tank fire at point blank range of even 1 cm and kill off the attacker(s).

**Immense Agility**: Sasuke's mobility allows him to attack from every position, move in the enemy's blind spot, and fight on any kind of terrain. In terms of defense, Sasuke takes full advantage of his agility to jump out of reach or dodge the enemy's attacks without losing his foothold. He has an excellent sense of balance, and exceptional coordination.

**Enhanced Stamina**: Sasuke has been able to fight for very extended bouts of time like when he fought White☆Star for almost a full night and won without being too tired. He also has mastered several forbidden Ninpou that require a lot of stamina to preform such as the Shin'en Kekkai, although he preforms these techniques sparingly.

**Enhanced Endurance**: Sasuke can bear very intense physical pain without his physical or mental abilities being impaired. An excellent example is simply his own training to resist flames and electricity, not to mention that he has gotten massive wounds on the job and has been able to keep going.

**Resistance to Electricity & Flames**: Sasuke has been trained to endure large amounts of electricity and flames since he was a baby. As a result, he is able to withstand high-voltage electrical currents, burns, and heat while retaining his full mental and physical faculties, although he still feels the pain. This form of training also allowed him to develop flame-oriented Hatsu techniques, and he was tempting to master the Jaou Ensatsu Ryukashou in which previous users who tried to master it were swallowed in an eternal hellfire.

**Immense Poison Resistance**: Due to his assassin training, Sasuke became resistant to a great number of poisons, toxins and chemicals. He has displayed this ability at bars to be able to drink a lot of sake and surprisingly not get drunk.

**Genius-Level Intellect**: Chifusa stated herself that Sasuke could become a Kagura easily if he wanted to. He after all is master assassin, expert of anatomy and nen, Master of intimidation and fear, master of stealth, master of manipulation/his own silver tongue, master of fire based transmutation nenpō. He adapted Hanzō’s Super Secret Ninpō scroll for modern use, snuck into Hebijo without any detection and stole the Yin Super Secret Ninpo Scroll from there, and wrote many scrolls including the ones that some of the Hanzō students use. Sasuke was also able to successfully master all of the ninpō from the scroll. Sasuke was considered as a possible hier to the Phoenix Conglomerate. He even joked about that. Earned his codename from his black hair and the fact that he seems to silently kill from out of nowhere. Derived the “Shin’en Kekken” technique from the Blood Riot technique in order to reduce the latter technique’s effects on him. Written a manuscript Super Secret Ansatsupō Scroll where he also included some of the ninpō from the yin scroll that he mastered. His mind is considered by his peers to be a very deadly weapon, and is *really* good with tantō and wakizashi. Applies his knowledge of anatomy to assassination.

**Master Strategist**: An attribute of why Sasuke's mind is considered his deadliest weapon, we is able to analyze the situation of any battle and figure out ways on the fly to make it go in his favor. His pragmatic way of thinking has made sure that he rarely loses

**Master Weapon Specialist**: Sasuke is capable of wielding a great number of weapons proficiently as well as of turning any object into a lethal one. His weapon of choice are tantō and wakizashi, which he can wield with great dexterity, and he even developed his own fighting style for using them. And his knowledge of anatomy has helped him be able to stab opponents while missing their vitals except the one he's chosen. Sasuke is reluctant to exactly go all out if his opponent is weaker than him, preferring to resort to using one tantō to test his opponent(s) out while being careful to not reveal too much about him.

**Master of Stealth**: Sasuke is very proficient in hiding, spying and infiltration. He has made sure that he is not very well known in the shinobi or even nen user world, and Sasuke is only know by his codename "The Black Owl," and he earned that name from Kiriya on how when he's on the job he is as silent as an owl that hunts its prey and makes sure that when going for the kill to take no prisoners, be clean as possible, and not draw attention.
