Able to talk circles around even the most cunning of politicians, a skilled Mesmer could talk a brick mason into buying his own bricks.

Prologue • Uzumi Ren “I'm charmed, but you can call me charming..." – Uzumi Ren on meeting Resumo Leira Uzumi Ren was born into Otogakure on a warm fall day of October. Unfortunately for Ren this day was several weeks before he was expected in the world. A rushed birth at an ill prepped medical center led to him being born with no mother to care for him, taken too soon by her wounds. Such things were near daily occurrences in Oto unfortunately. As Ren released his first crying breaths in the world some would eventually ask who was louder that day, the boy or his father? Ren's rambunctious personality started early. From the day he could walk it seemed he was always sprinting somewhere he shouldn't be. While sneaking into his neighbor's house seemed to be a favorite past time it was rapidly replaced with hiding from an increasingly belligerent father. The loss of his wife and the pains of raising a troublesome child drove Ren's father into a drunken stupor most days, leaving Ren to fend for himself when he was tall enough to reach a shelf. The idea of a loving father had gone out the window before Ren had even received a chance. Age seemed to give Ren more freedom away from a doomed family life. Time away from home was spent occupying the city, providing the perfect playground for a growing child. The boy's love for exploration was only exceeded by his passion for running. How fast could a trip be made from one side of town to the other? How much faster am I than this kid? These questions seemed to move Ren, and as they drove him further away from his battered home life he became a happier child. At home he had learned to protect himself by not saying anything, but in this city, he could be the sarcastic, joke cracking, cocky ass he wanted to be! The complete collapse of the shinobi world as people knew it caused great chaos in Otogakure. The people were being brought under the iron thumb of the Kumo Empire and all of its self-righteousness. Ren didn't have a particular view as long as he could keep away from his father. Unfortunately, that time had passed as well. Being kept under curfew meant Ren was being subjugated to his father more than ever. The man had long been lost in his drink, and the occupation only brought out the worst in him. Abuse became far too common, and a hushed neighborhood did little to stop the pain. A moment arose when the NCIA experienced its first open rebellion with the Oto resistance group. Ren used the fear of the resistance and portrayed his father as a member of the feared group to the local guards. Ren remember the night they came for his father, the last time he saw the man. Following his liberation from his tortured home life, Ren decided to get out of his little city and explore what was left of the world. Having been emboldened by a stipend received from NCIA for his cooperation in the investigation of his father, Ren made his way into other NCIA controlled lands. Traveling south to the Land of Fire was his first opportunity, where he witnessed some of the last turn coats to the NCIA academy. The bountiful Land of Fire would be much more different than the harsh terrain brought about by the Land of Sand however. While the rugged terrain seemed to host the toughest of people, Ren would get to experience the first reactions of the freedom earned by a long-fought rebellion here. His continued exploration even led him to the Land of Stone where he got to visit Iwagakure and Metropolis for the first time in his life. The stunning beauty ironically made Ren begin to miss his home life. He had been traveling for so long already... When Ren finally made his way back home to Otogakure he would find himself in his older teens. He had deprived himself of training he would receive in specialty fields though his absences and as such became a local errand runner for those willing to hire. Even the Otogakure Ninja Agency contracted out his help before eventually recruiting him into local classes. Having their forces stripped during war meant they needed someone with Ren's skill set more than ever. Ren himself had been looking to bring good to the village, after seeing such a higher quality of life outside of it. Chapter 1 • The Otogakure Riot of 2115 “You arrogant dumbass" – Uzumi Ren arguing with Yue Fei A year passed where Ren received random missions from time to time. Despite not having enough shinobi to run missions Otogakure was even more pressed to have teachers for their shinobi. Eventually Ren would land in the lap of Resumo Leira, sister to the Kyoukage and Ren's first "mentor". Leira had planned for a day of practice drills to get Ren familiar with his fellow teammate Takeda Ieyasu. Fate seemed to have other plans for Ren however, as an explosion during their training quickly dissolved what team there was, and threw Ren into the fire of a full-blown riot. The boiling point of the famine was seemingly reached as local villagers tore through the neighborhoods. Leira had brought Ren to assist where, by sheer happenstance, they ran into Kinsen Rasen and his own student Yue Fei. Raz knew of the quickest way to get out the fires, while Ren and Yue got to know each other by trading verbal blows over personalities. Their disagreements would be quelled by Leira who sided with Ren's belief in calming the crowd peacefully. Unfortunately, Ren seemed to only incite the crowd against himself. This led to increasingly moronic moves by Ren that resulted in blowing up a city block, protestors, Leira, and getting himself temporarily restrained. It was the start of a beautiful friendship with Yue though. Raz calmed the chaos, creating the first rain the village had seen in weeks. Despite the initial confusion of waking up in his unusual predicament, Ren quickly took to Yue and Raz. The genin was even switched to be on Raz's team along with the equally hot-headed Yue. After a night of drinks and fighting it seemed that Yue was more willing to accept the fuck-up known as Ren. Together the two set off to set the foundation of a team they had no idea was forming. Chapter 2 • Halls of the Toad Kings “So what did a pretty girl like yourself do to get kicked out of heaven? I do hope it was something naughty." – Uzumi Ren meeting Naiyume Lilina It was decided that the duo would train with Raz in the Land of the Toads on Mount Myoboku following the events of the riot. In their travel to get to the mountain Ren and Yue would encounter an unexpected passenger, Naiyume Lilina. Her wit was as sharp as her stiletto she cherished so deeply, and she easily rebuked Ren's various advances. Her temporarily unwelcomed status was forgiven by Raz as he brought the three of them to see the Elder Toad. In their visit with the Elder Toad each had their future prophesized to them. Ren was told his natural element, divining a future much like his teacher Raz. He would walk along a path that few tread, that of a sensor. A god given gift that was not to be taken lightly. With their future told the trio of genin seemed to have a better idea of what lay before them, giving Raz a base to work with their future training efforts. Having learned that Ren possessed natural wind chakra, Raz, provided direct training for the genin in ways that he wishes he had been taught growing up. It was easier to teach Ren directly than by showing, and the Kusanagi blade would be used to drive the lesson home. Having a natural affinity to the wind element itself allowed Ren to quickly learn how to project his element onto foreign objects. Mastering the ability did not take nearly as long with a skilled teacher, and Ren was quickly moving on to various wind abilities. After training for the month in Mount Myoboku the team would prepare to depart on a trip none of them had anticipated... Chapter 3 • The Chunnin Exams “I'mma Iona Keanu, you'sa call me whatev' ya like, not gonna'be long 'til I bring'a yo face to the sand!" – Iona Keanu on meeting Ren Having received training from a world renown Sennin led the team to the next logical step... The Chunnin Exams! With seemingly years of knowledge crammed into one-month time the trio eagerly departed to represent their village in Metropolis. Prior to their departure by teleportation toad, the team was each given a necklace that would stick with them far longer than they realized. The necklaces were imbedded with a special chakra connected to the Toads and seemed to monitor the individuals progress as they grew. A quick teleportation led the team to the bustling city of Metropolis, a gold mine of technological advancement. Getting caught up in the wonder caused Ren to get separated from the team momentarily before making his way to Sukuna-Biko, an inn the team was staying in for the duration of the exam. Ren was flushed with the idea of his first co-ed bath spring, leading to many near death experiences from Lilina. As the group mingled with the other residents at the inn they would begin to get a picture of just how wild this exam was going to be. The Chunnin Exam started off with a race, Ren's specialty Of course the race wouldn't be as simple as a mere sprint. The participant would be required to gather flags from various locations around Metropolis, using all tools at their disposal. Ren's natural asset in speed allowed for him to take a commanding presence in Day One, losing only to his lack of concentration in the riddle challenge. Knowledge was never quite the boy's strong suit after all. His strong showing would give Ren the courage to finally ask Lilina on a proper date, taking her to Ao-Shuzen following the race. Day Two of the exam would prove to be much more challenging for Ren than the first. Ren had never seen combat before, and to be thrown into the midst of full scale ninja battles was unusual to say the least. Despite a triumphant win against Namikaze "Izzy" Azrael (where Ren took advantage of his opponent's Hemophobia), Ren would go on to suffer a harrowing defeat to tournament runner-up Iona Keanu. It was here that Ren was pushed into the world of truly great shinobi, forcing himself to look inwards for his future. Day two would also serve as the day Lilina went up against archrival Ageshio Shuuhei, where their dramatic clash sent Lilina to the hospital tent. As the tournament continued Ren would claim another victory, this time against the young up and comer Sokuda Tenka. Despite their mismatch in ability the two traded blows with one another, vowing to meet when Tenka had gained more abilities. This victory would put Ren in direct contention with Lilina for the final round of the tournament however. While Ren had a large speed gain on Lilina, her wide arrange of techniques and stalwart defenses would help her claim the victory against Ren. This ending left Ren on a low note for the tournament, but his adventure in Metropolis was far from over. Chapter 4 • The Yokai Incident – Battle for Metropolis “Neeeeeeeeeed.....perssssssssssssssssssssspective...." – Serpent Yokai before body swapping the team. With the exam drawn to a conclusion the genin were given a chance to celebrate, or mourn, their tournament success. While Yue and Lilina had placed 3rd and 4th respectively, Ren had fallen somewhere in the middle. With Yue starting a fight with the Raikage, and Ren lamenting his own inadequacy, the team had little time to actually celebrate before the world as they knew it forever changed. Yokai had emerged in Metropolis. In the chaos of the first known yokai in centuries emerging the team would become separated. In his attempt to find the others Ren would team up with various genin from the tournament in an effort to combat the threat. Of course, their abilities were little match for the large yokai and before Ren had a chance to find his team a larger beast had taken him to the sky. This curse turned into a blessing as Lilina saved Ren from the clutches of the beast. Unfortunately, this only seemed to make matters worse for the group. The team had finally reunited amidst the pandemonium. The yokai relished this achievement by the genin. The team would be confronted by the larger bird like yokai, only to have their souls ripped from their bodies. The aggressive act lasted only momentarily, with each of the team inhabiting the body of another. Ren was Yue, Yue was Lilina, and Lilina was Ren. What the yokai had not calculated was the team's learned knowledge of one another. Their months of training together had given them a perspective that few shared, allowing them to utilize all of their skills in unison to take down the yokai beast. As the team drew their battle to an end, so did the other villagers. Various chunin, jounin, and even the sennin had committed to the battle. Raz would decide to take the team out to Korin's estates on the edge of Kusa, where the team was assigned the task of creating a perimeter around the property. When the team seemed to be settling in a disturbing report of yokai in Kusagakure began to emerge. Raz, concerned for Korin, decided to go headlong into Kusagakure. His decision came with a promotion across the team. Ren had become a Chunin, and the team was preparing to enter the valley of death... Chapter 5 • In the Valley of the Shadow of Death “Neeeeeeeeeed.....perssssssssssssssssssssspective...." – Serpent Yokai before body swapping the team. With the exam drawn to a conclusion the genin were given a chance to celebrate, or mourn, their tournament success. While Yue and Lilina had placed 3rd and 4th respectively, Ren had fallen somewhere in the middle.

Uzumi Leo | Father | Unknown • Ren was separated from his father willfully during the reign of the Kumo Empire. After being fed false intel that Leo was an unlicensed shinobi the man was taken by authorities and never heard from again. It is unknown if he still lives, and if so what his exact whereabouts are. Uzumi Sakura | Mother | Deceased • Mother to Ren, Sakura unfortunately passed during child birth. Ren knows little of his mother as his father kept all secrets close to his chest before being arrested. Kinsen "Raz" Rasen | Former Team Lead | Alive - Inactive • Leader of the Sound Four and mentor to Uzumi Ren. More commonly referred to as "Raz" among the team, Kinsen is a hero within Oto for his various accomplishments. Having taught the team since their inception, Raz is considered as a family member to all in the team and serves as a surrogate father or brother when needed. After suffering the loss of his wife, Korin, Raz became more militant and employed the team in surgical strikes; often against the Jashinist scattered throughout Oto. Unfortunately, this led to a massive collision against the Jashinist that has since taken Raz out of commission and left the Sound Four without central leadership. Yue Fei | Teammate | Alive - Inactive • Ren's first teammate on the Sound Four. Yue (never referred to as Fei) is the closest thing Ren has to an actual brother. The two are often bickering over Ren's rambunctious behavior, and said bickering is usually about Yue having to save Ren or the team due to something Ren did. Regardless the two share a bond only brothers on the battlefield can share. Due to recent events at the Silver Smirk Casino Yue was captured by opposing Jashinist forces. While his vital status is considered unknown Ren knows in his hearr that his brother is out there waiting to be found. Naiyume Lilina | Teammate | Alive - Active • The glue of the Sound Four. Lilina and Ren share an unusual relationship that flirts on the boundaries of romantic and familial love for one another. Their experiences have created a shared protective feeling over the other with one often saving the other. Even if Ren caused the problem in the first place. Lilina often provides the heart of the team, keeping Ren and Yue from butting heads too often. Despite her escapade as a werewolf Lilina is currently in active pursuit for information regarding Yue. Resumo Leira| Former Mentor | Alive - Active • Ren's first teacher before Raz. Leira served as an instructor for Ren prior to the Otogakure Famine Riot of 2115. While Leira originally was a source of intense lust for Ren he has since grown out of the feeling and only moderately flirts with her now. Leira has served on separate teams during Sound Four missions. Most recently the Silver Smirk Casino where she provided aide to the Sound Four in their extraction of Raz. Hagemasu Kikuya | Torturer of Desire/ Savior of the Sound Four | Alive - Active • Source of sporadic nosebleeds for Ren. Savior of the Sound Four. Kikuya is an enigmatic figure for the team. She appears to hold no desire to help the team or country beyond a unique moral code she keeps close to her chest. Having served on the mission for the Silver Smirk Casino, Kikuya provided close support for the team when confronted with Zala. When out of options Kikuya guarded Raz while fighting off the clone army of the casino.

Personality: • It is easy to say that Uzumi Ren is filled with a rather rambunctious personality. Ren is often the first, and last, person to spit out witty banter; even in the heat of a battle. Turning a situation sour or creating a great mood is but second nature to him. If he is ever quiet for too long something is either wrong with him or he got into some kind of "trouble". To say Ren is quick to throw out one-liners or cheesy pick-ups is an insult to speed itself. Even though Ren seems to be lacking in almost all necessary shinobi personality traits, he continues to surprise those around him with his bountiful optimism. His overall good-natured personality makes him charming to be around, and he has loyalty in spades. Ren prefers to keep friends as family and holds them close to his heart. Goals: • Have sex. Whenever. However. • Being the fastest shinobi in history. Likes: • Running • Talking with others • Doing the unexpected • Dating • Playing sports • Picking up girls (He'll tell you this is different than dating) • Exploring land Dislikes: • Those who pick on the weak • Shyness (He doesn’t know if he should stop talking or talk more?) • Lack of money • Cowardly people • Being rejected for the umpteenth time Fears: • People thinking less of him • Failing his friends • Not being successful Favorites: Food – Fried Rice Drink – Orange Juice Color - Orange Music Genre - EDM Book Genre – Adventure Hang-Out – None (Although a case could be made for Mount Myoboku) Hobby – Track Season - Fall Animal - Rabbit Desired Opponent – Alchem Syaoran (Owes Ren a foot race) Phrase – Generic Pickup Line

Height: • 5'10" [1.79 Meters] Weight: • 165 Pounds [74.8 Kilograms] Eyes: • Caramel in color; these eyes are always wide open to view the hopeful path ahead. Hair: • Uzumi Ren has dark brown hair that is often mistaken for black hair. Due to his constant moving nature, Ren spends little time on keeping his hair under control. It is often seen just flipped around, yet still manages to look good. Many girls confuse his carelessness of his hair for the sexy unmade hair. If only they knew Ren just hates messing with it. Civilian Attire: • Uzumi Ren's civilian attire is a direct reflection of his free-spirited nature. Usually optimizing comfort for speed, Ren is often wearing athletic shorts paired with a loose or athletic wear shirt. He routinely rotates colors, preferring brighter colors paired with a dark color (varying shades of orange and black being his favorite combination). Ren takes great pride in his running shoes and continuously cycles between pairs. His favorite pair is a black set of sneakers struck with a blue lightning bolt. Mission Attire: • Uzumi Ren's mission attire was gifted to him by the Toads of Mount Myōboku following the completion of his training. Ren's attire strikes to his origin outfit wearing bold orange colors with dark grays to contrast. A dark gray jacket covers Ren's orange hoodie, both with sleeves rolled below the elbow. Ren's gray shinobi pants are clad with standard pouches that flank each hip as well as his lower back. An unusual headband with the symbol "Shinobi" adorns his right leg. Ren opts out of sneakers in his mission attire, preferring traditional shinobi sandals. Ren continues to wear his toad necklace in this outfit. Physical Description: • Uzumi Ren is considered to be of average statue, with the body mass close to that of a sprinter. While well-muscled, his build appears to be rather slender at times. When around others one may note that he appears rather youthful, always bearing a smile of some sort. His build and personality give what can only be described as a "nice guy" look.

Bumping this topic for approval. I have edited the original jutsu that caused this topic to get moved back to custom. Edit Made: Konoha Raiken cost 100 upped to 110 to adjust for new taijutsu charge rules. Thanks!

Hey Tw33dle, On this one the cost of the technique is off. 10 damage - 10 cp Impaired Eyesight - 15 cp With the total of these 2 being 25 you would then multiply this amount by 3 or 4 depending on what form of AOE you want (targets all players or targets opponents only respectively). Since this is a gennin technique the maximum CP you can get up to is 80, the current effect is not doable with the damage and impaired eyesight. If you want to keep your effects similar you will could raise the cost to 75 and have the jutsu target all players on field.

The bazaar was booming today with sound, and it wasn't just people testing the air pressure devices. The place was actually packed! Maybe the lovely weather brought about by the end of summer was pulling people out of their homes and into the streets. Lack of rain didn't seem to be on their minds today. In fact, it had pulled one shinobi out of his own house in particular. Of course, he would have wished he had stayed inside today... "Come on! These are unique chakra bands! I just bought them last fall!" Ren shouted as his face flushed with red. He had spent the better part of the day trying to find vendors to take his slightly used equipment. Apparently being a village name didn't mean much to these vendors. They were almost all ex shinobi themselves. This particular vendor had at least been willing to barter with Ren to an extent. What started off as a mere 220 ryo offering had doubled to 440 ryo. Of course, this was still only half of what Ren had paid in the first place for the items. "You're trying to get away with robbery, aren't you?" Ren sighed as he mulled the option over in his head. If they weren't physically robbing you they were doing it legally. "I guess 50% isn't too bad..." Ren muttered as he handed over his items. The vendor quickly flashed a smirk as Ren took the cash. It was a look that said 'I win'. "...Fuck me" Ren Selling: [2] EA Chakra Infused Wrist Bands [360 Ryo] [1] EA Ren's Custom Sneakers [80 Ryo] Ren Receives: 両 440 Ryo

Hey Everyone, I will be taking an extended leave of absence from the site starting immediately. As of the past few months I have taken quite a few hits in life and it has left me mentally drained. The next few months seem to be more of the same, and will leave me with little mental energy to take on the day to day duties of the site. Sometimes it is important to take a step back from the things you love so you don’t grow to resent them. This is one of those situations for me as lately I have come to dread even checking the site. I don’t know how long my absence from the site will be. I hope everything comes together for me and I am able to resume my duties sooner rather than later. At this time I really just don’t know. I wish everyone the best and hope to play again soon!

Will be signing back in starting tomorrow. Thanks!

APPROVED!
