Azusa Hyuga

*"In the Temple they teach us that the Heavens week in the Land of Tears and it smiles in the Land of Heaven. Rejoice for you walk upon the land beloved by the heavens."* **Azusa** to Shinobi

## Introduction

Azusa is a rare commodity. She is a Hyuga who is not bound to the clan. This anomaly brought on by the foolishness of a young Hyuga by the name of Eiji. He was a lecture and a drunk, terrible combination. He was also a branch member of the Hyuga clan. While out on a mission he went drinking and whoring when he was suppose to be defending a temple. That action lead to one of the Monks in the Famous Temple of fire being assassinated and him being executed for drinking on the job. That night of whoring however got the geisha pregnant. Hearing about the fate of Eiji, she feared for her own life, and the life of her child and fled the land of fire. During her flee from the land of fire she was discovered by the monks of **Tenshukaku** (*Kanji*: 天守閣; *English*: **Heaven’s Keep**/**Castle Tower**). Despite the fact that their laws forbid women in their temple they took the women in. This was due to her pregnancy and it was determined that after she gave birth she would be forced to leave.

She spent several months inside of the temple. However the Hyuga Clan could not be fooled. They eventually hunted her down and discovered she was in the temple. They demanded that the monks hand her over. Not wanting to start a war with Konohagakure or get on the bad side of the Hyuga Clan the monks handed the women over and her child, but only one of her children. For the Hyuga did not know that she gave birth to twins. After giving birth to her first child the baby was taken away to be cleansed in the Mountain River. A tradition of any baby that was brought into the world behind the doors of Tenshukaku. When the Hyuga arrived they saw the birth of the second and assumed it was the only child. Honoring the mother's wish to protect her baby from the Hyuga clan the monks hid this fact.

With the mother and the Hyuga gone the monks raised the young girl as one of their own. Their rules where clear however. No women where allowed to live in the temple. There was exceptions for pregnant women found on the road, and strangers for a day or two stay. However to take a women in among their brothers would be a complete violation. The head monk however found a loop hole. As Azusa was a girl and not a women it was not a break of their code. Thus she could be raised by the monks with no problem. However there was also a catch. She could only live with them till she became a women, and in the ninja world one was considered a adult at the age of thirteen, when they could got to war and die.

As a result of all this Azusa grew up in a temple. She learned to cast jutsu, fight with a sword, and live in the woods from monks. Her childhood was filled with rigorous morning training, afternoon meditation, and evening lectures. Chakra and Ninjutsu was used thought all of her training. The Monks of Heaven, what the monks called themselves, focus most of their training in the art of chakra absorption and body enhancement. As a result Azusa was steep in the arts of Yang Release.

From a very young age Azusa understood that she would have to leave the temple once she turned thirteen years old. She trained with this in mind, and studied with the intention of being able to survive on her own. When she turned thirteen she cried her eyes out, and hugged every monk in the monastery. She left with her sword, knowledge, and her strange eyes that could see beyond her physical form. Before she departed however she was warned against using her eyes in public.
