Tazunada Hagoromo

Tazunada Hagoromo was a shinobi of the Hagoromo Clan, in Konohagakure.

## Background

Tazunada's upbringing in the Hagoromo Clan was marked by the weight of tradition and the expectations placed upon her as the oldest child. In her clan, respect for the customs and reverence for the clan's history were fundamental. As a result, she was instilled with a deep sense of duty to uphold the clan's legacy.

Despite her natural talents, Tazunada's journey was far from typical. She was not born as the clan's heir but earned that position at the age of six due to her exceptional skills. Gohanazono Hagoromo, the clan head at the time, recognized her potential and chose her as the heir, a decision that was met with mixed reactions within the clan. Her parents, while proud of her, reminded her of the rarity of a female heir, which only added to the pressure she felt. At such a young age, she harbored dreams of reforming the clan's traditional ways once she assumed leadership, showing the determination and progressive mindset that defined her character.

Tazunada's journey as a shinobi began at the academy when she was enrolled at the age of five. While she didn't mind her early start, she couldn't help but wish for more choice in the matter. Her younger brother, Sakunami, always sought her company, but her focus on training left little time for leisure. The pursuit of her goals became her primary focus, driving a wedge between her and her sibling's relationship.

Her early academic achievements and impressive skill set quickly set her apart from her peers, earning her the respect of her instructors and fellow students. Tazunada's dedication and discipline allowed her to excel in her studies and earn a place of honor within her clan.

### Genin

   Tazunada's journey as a shinobi commenced when she graduated from the academy at the age of nine and found herself assigned to Team 1. Under the devoted guidance of her sensei, Kazukatsu Senju, Tazunada diligently honed her skills and cultivated her unique abilities. Kazukatsu's mentorship instilled in her a profound sense of duty and responsibility, shaping her into a formidable warrior. Alongside her teammates, Kurogane Emoto and Fugaku Uchiha, Tazunada forged unbreakable bonds of friendship and camaraderie, uniting as a formidable trio.

From the beginning, Tazunada sensed a natural affinity with Fugaku due to their clan's shared history and alliances. Their mutual respect and understanding allowed them to harmoniously blend their strengths, becoming a reliable team within Team 1. However, her connection with Kurogane faced initial challenges due to his self-doubt, hindering their cooperation. It was only through Kazukatsu's insightful guidance that Kurogane emerged from his shell, strengthening their trio into an inseparable unit.

Amidst her journey, Tazunada faced an unexpected and daunting challenge in the form of a betrothal to Furuke Uchiha, a decision orchestrated by the Hagoromo Elders. Their intent was to expand the Hagoromo Clan's numbers, securing the future through strategic alliances. This betrothal, however, weighed heavily on young Tazunada's shoulders, robbing her of the choice to marry for love. Struggling with this burden, Fugaku emerged as a steadfast pillar of support.

Recognizing Tazunada's predicament, he played a crucial role in her life, empathizing with her struggle. Fugaku's protective nature ensured that Furuke treated Tazunada with respect, fostering a friendship between them first, ensuring her well-being amidst the confines of the arranged relationship. Fugaku's unwavering support provided Tazunada with strength during this challenging period, reinforcing their bond as not just teammates, but as true allies in the face of tradition's demands.

Tazunada's leadership prowess became a beacon of inspiration, guiding her fellow shinobi to victory through strategic thinking and decisive actions.

Driven by her unwavering belief in the power of unity, Tazunada embarked on the path of collaborative ninjutsu. Understanding the potency of combining the diverse skills of her teammates, she worked closely with Kurogane Emoto and Fugaku Uchiha, crafting intricate, synchronized ninjutsu techniques. Their collaborative efforts not only solidified them as an indomitable trio but also embodied the essence of true teamwork, allowing them to adapt seamlessly to diverse battlefield scenarios.

In her pursuit of safeguarding her village and allies, Tazunada delved into the clandestine realm of assassination techniques.

Tazunada's proficiency in these techniques rendered her an invaluable asset to Konohagakure's intelligence efforts, enabling her to conduct vital reconnaissance missions and neutralize key threats without detection.

Amidst her growing responsibilities, Tazunada made a conscious effort to foster a bond with Furuke, her betrothed. Understanding the importance of their relationship, they spent significant time engaging in shinobi activities, such as training and sparring. This shared commitment not only strengthened their friendship but also enhanced their skills, equipping them with valuable experience that would serve them well in the challenges yet to come.

### Jōnin

   At the age of fourteen, Tazunada achieved the prestigious rank of Jōnin alongside her Team 1 members, marking a significant milestone in their growth as shinobi. Her exceptional skills and leadership were called upon during the tumultuous Second Shinobi War, where she played a vital role in defending her village. Tazunada earned the moniker "Mistress of Motsureotoru," a title she embraced despite opposition from the Hagoromo Elders.

A year following the war, Tazunada, now eighteen, married her betrothed, Furuke, in a grand ceremony uniting the Uchiha and Hagoromo clans. The couple's close bond, forged during the conflict, made their marriage a harmonious union, delighting their clan elders.

Upon assuming the role of clan head a few months after her wedding, Tazunada aimed to introduce her progressive ideas gradually, prioritizing harmony within the clan. Fugaku Uchiha was named the head of the Uchiha Clan at twenty-one, a position he earned through a vote. Tazunada, proud of him, humorously suggested Kurogane should follow suit, a notion he playfully dismissed.

Tazunada later excitedly revealed her pregnancy to her former teammates. Tazunada and Furuke jointly decided on the name Fugasako Hagoromo, a subtle tribute to Fugaku. Several years down the line, they celebrated the arrival of their son, Akegorou Hagoromo, a nod to Furuke's fellow teammate Akeharu Monya. Appreciating Kurogane's compassion and affinity with youngsters, Tazunada and Furuke selected him as the godfather to their two beloved children.

Tragedy struck when the Third Shinobi War erupted when Tazunada was twenty-four. In the war's penultimate year, she made the ultimate sacrifice, giving her life to protect her comrades and village. Her legacy endured through tales of her unwavering determination, selflessness, and commitment to her team.
