**Kashi** (火死) is a Shinobi of Hidden Petal Village in Land of Coins that emerged recently with the man Kechi as one of his many students under his tutelage.

#### **Collective Theme**

The concept is inspired by Suzaku of the South though it also uses aspects of the Eternal Phoenix tying tightly to the themes of death, resurrection, and fire. This is what defined Kashi in many aspects; from their appearance, fighting style, and even abilities that are related to or in correspondence with fire, healing and resurrection. His personality also reflects on the fiercity of fire and heat in which the Suzaku is associated with, attributing it to the focus of the theme. Like the Phoenix Kashi was born from the ashes of his predecessors' bodies breaking free from their past lives at the moment of death, doing so he was able to break free from his past and start anew. He also have an close affinity with Fire Release.

## **Background**

* Kashi
* Suhaku

Born to a penniless couple he was sold to Kechi of the Hidden Petal Village in order to give him a life that could be better than what his parents could offer alone. With Kechi's tutelage and guidance he was able to advance through life without harsh ordeals, it wasn't until he turned 13 that he had enrolled in the Academy where he was able to progress through the classes and graduate with such a incredible record of excellent grades in a single week, not only giving him the promotion to a Genin he also was regarded as one of the rare cases in the Academy as a result. Though this was but a fabricated past, one that were devised by the Scammer. As Kashi was instead born in the Laboratory from within the ashes of Suhaku Goka's corpse through the power of the Phoenix, though with a great cost for his resurrection.

He intended to forge bonds anew through his fire.
Born to the lords of their respective clan, Suzaku Goka, and Yozu Uchiha their parents—the heir has such incredible blood ties to many warriors that hailed from both clans. This would mean he has a sense of nobility.

## **Personality**

* Kashi
* Suhaku

     Like every member of the Goka Clan Kashi are described as a quite temperamental and hot-headed with a quick-fuse manner in which disregard any logic in his actions or response to things, often addresses with anger and destruction following. When Kashi appears to be upset he can release a quite fume from his nose, though more angrier Kashi gets he become redder in such a comedic way though this often can escalate things. He isn't a stranger to foul-language as he often employs it in his fits, displeasing his mentor when it occurs.
At the same moment, when Kashi isn't too angry he can be described as rather presumptuous yet egotistical which can be boosted by his sheer intelligence assisting him in the way he addresses problems provoking him to be rather crafty. This can often be the offset to his undermine good personality, as he was in fact a rather rowdy type who had been rather energetic about friendship and youth, also had been shown to be overprotective of his friends in Tenjiru gang. He claimed that he would fight as well just to make sure his friends aren't fighting alone.

A innovative child with a particular habit of acting out of turn—whenever he doesn't get his way. It is clear that Suhaku has some immature mindset despite his acclaimed intelligence as he often tries to find a way to escape from his missions in order to play his video games, something he had quoted and centralized on—"I'd rather to game instead, bro"—was what the child usually would say when facing something he doesn't want to deal with. At the same time, he may be very spoiled by his mother because of her lack of discipline and regrets of him not having a father. And so this would mean he is pretty immature for his age but he also can be intelligent when it comes to technology as well as more. He considers knowledge is power; unlike his ancestors—he sought to become a scholar in life.
On the other hand, Suhaku typically displays such cowardly nature when facing a choice he didn't want so much that he avoids close combat as possible. To a point that he would try to fight in long-range utilizing the Shurikenjutsu as well as Katon to avoid anything that had to do with short-range as possible. At the same time—Suhaku can be prone to his own anger much like his father so much that when someone pressed his buttons, he would utilize both his power and intelligence while dismissing his fears to deal with his opponents.
Until now.
Suhaku would have been possessed by the Phoenix spirit in which caused a great shift in his life so much that majority of his personality were overcome by the untameable anger within him and change to a degree that even his close friends noted that he had become more destructive than usual, acting out in the most absurd ways; this includes the time that he robbed a entire town during the Chunin Exams, just because. And another where he stole a car belonging to Ketsugo Uzumaki and destroyed in the process. This would be only worsen by the fact that his own mother had left him to his own device without a word nor taking him with, this is only then it would be clear that his mother had no regard about her son as she returned with a newborn sibling, one that he never knew about until now. This would cause his already untameable rage to implode to a point he was willingly to deflect from Hidden Leaf Village just to despite his mother, causing him to travel to a country where his close friends, Rika Uchiha and Hino Akanohi is in order to say good-bye, while destroying and massacring villagers in the town.

Where he took an arrow that was meant for Hino and died in the process. His corpse were stolen by Kōjin.

Like every member of the Goka Clan one tends to wear a big piece of clothes that are red. In Kashi's case he is described to wear a cloak in the color of red one that compliments both his eye and hair color over his overall attire. Not only that he also takes on some familiarity as his mentor Kechi's clothes; more so the high collar funeral garment and purple sash silk belt indicating the master and student relationship.
