<b>Hatake Tagayasu</b> (はたけ耕す, Tagayasu Hatake)

== Background ==

=== Prologue | The Springtime of False Fates ===

The story of Hatake Tagayasu begins not at his birth- or even at the beginning of his parents’ admittedly rocky relationship, but instead with the forging of two ‘married’ swords. Some thirty years ago, a blacksmith by the name of Aragane Tsutomu set out to create a weapon manufacturing empire the likes of which the world had never before experienced. Before endeavoring to remove himself forever from the forge, he decided to make one final masterpiece- a blade, or pair of blades, that would forever encapsulate his passion and skill as a smith. These blades took nearly a year in their entirety to forge and went through many prototypes, each of which being packaged and sold at criminally discounted prices; when they were completed, Tsutomu stepped away from his forge, satisfied that he had ‘peaked’ as a smith. The blades were modeled for the primordial forces of Yin and Yang and were named. “Kōkai (後悔)” was given to the black, Yin, blade- a symbol that he might never regret the path he was now choosing, and “Manzoku (満足)” was given to the white, Yang, blade- a reflection that he now cast off the ideal of “satisfaction” and that he would never stop reaching for more in this life. These blades had taken such a toll on his mind and body that Tsutomu spent a year recovering in the company of a woman who, to their mutual disappointment, would never become his wife. As for Kōkai and Manzoku- the married blades were given away as the final symbol on Tsutomu’s moving above and beyond his station as a blacksmith; though they were treasured by their new owner, it did not take long for their quality to grant their wielder confidence that exceeded his skill. The original recipient was slain and the blades separated to pass through the hands of many warriors.

And many warriors did wield the blades, until each had fallen into the hands of Hatake Kōsaku and Fuyukuma Towakō, of Konohagakure and Yukigakure, respectively. For the first time since the blades’ inception, they were brought together. The two shinobi from differing nations clashed several times upon the battlefield, though they proved to be quite equal- enough that they gained great respect for one another. With each clash, they understood that their blades were not meant to work against one another, but were rather part of a unit- a pair of blades that together would be unstoppable. In this, they saw fate- and believed their destiny was to be joined. Hatake Kōsaku and Fuyukuma Towakō married after a small handful of years skirting around the rules of their villages. At the time of their marriage, Towakō realized that Yukigakure was quite poor compared to Konohagakure and she wished to liberate herself from working for scraps; she took the first opportunity to forsake Yuki no Kuni and travel to Hi no Kuni. Here, she lived alongside Kōsaku and the pair were… a curious couple.

No longer driven together by the passion of battle and the supposed call of “destiny” to unite their blades, the relationship between Kōsaku and Towakō cooled quite quickly. For a time, they tolerated each other, but they eventually grew to loathe each other. Towakō believed that Kōsaku had lured her away from her home and family with false promises, and Kōsaku believed that Towakō had used him as a means of escaping the poverty of Yuki no Kuni. And so they fought- and in their aggression, their attraction for one another sparked again. This was the married life of these two strange individuals- as their fights would eventually cease, tempered by their incessant lovemaking, they would quickly again realize that they did not actually care for one another and begin fighting anew. Each time that this happened, they would believe that destiny again pitted them together and that it was not their place to separate, and so the cycle continued- even after the conception and birth of our protagonist: Hatake Tagayasu.

=== Chapter 1 | The Summer of Abundant Melodies ===

Hatake Tagayasu was a mild-mannered child. As one might have expected of most Hatake children, he was quiet and contemplative- seeming to focus more on learning how to properly interact with the world that he lived in rather than wailing against the inevitability of boundaries. He did not fuss when it came time to enroll in school, and for the most part, seemed to enjoy the early ninja academy. Tagayasu placed around or slightly above average in most fields and only seemed to excel when it came to forward thinking and strategy implementation, though his hypothetical stratagems would occasionally fail due to his own personal lack of skill. By the projections of his teachers, he was perhaps even less skilled than each of his parents individually, and was only able to be considered their superior in the field of cleverness. And, indeed, the boy was clever- clever enough that he schemed constantly to get out of doing any work. It was believed by some of his teachers that he might have some hidden reservoir of talent that was obscured entirely by his willingness to half-perform on most tests in order to deliberately lower expectations of him. His parents did notice this about him, but were often more concerned with each other than they were with raising him… in truth, he was more or less communally raised by the other members of the Hatake clan. It was because of this that Tagayasu took to solitude and quiet observation. He decided early on that he wanted to capture the same energy that his parents had when dealing with one another and, in his worldly inexperience, decided that passion and love was more important that strength or skill.

Tagayasu was nearing graduation from Konohagakure’s shinobi academy when the tragedy that was Kumogakure’s blitzkrieg occurred. Though he was well protected by both of his parents, the boy’s mother had finally decided that this was the final straw in her relationship with his father-- this was the hand of fate showing her that she had made a mistake in moving to Konoha after all. Not wanting to remain and participate in the resistance movement of a nation that she honestly did not care about, she took Tagayasu and returned to the cold shelter of her homeland, believing that they would be safe from Kumogakure’s influence in such a remote region.

=== Chapter 2 | The Fall of The World ===

In Yukigakure, Tagayasu was re-enrolled in the shinobi academy and acclimated quickly to his new classmates, though they were decidedly less kind than their Konohagakure counterparts. His behaviors continued much as they had before, though adjusted for the chilly demeanor of his new “friends”. Within the year, however, Kumogakure had stretched far enough to assume control over Yukigakure, and Tagayasu’s training was adjusted to accommodate the needs of Kumogakure’s Empire. Fortunately, his tendency to underperform left him free to pursue his other interests as he needed, as his new teachers believed that he would never amount to anything more than a common foot-soldier.

Tagayasu focused the majority of his efforts on learning the crafts of romance, as determined by such “reliable” sources as romcom movies and penny romance novels. He learned the art of needlessly flowery poetry, music performed by a rare instrument, and ‘spontaneous’ gestures of romance. The boy quickly became obsessed with these things and was a nuanced success with the girls in his academy classes. Tagayasu rarely failed to attract the object of his affections, but often found the targets of his romantic games to be boring or uninspired and cast them aside as soon as their childish version of a honey-moon stage ended. Indeed, he felt that for all the preaching girls did about romantic gestures, they were woefully inadequate at performing the gestures themselves. Even beyond his graduation, he was more focused on the pursuit of women and romance than proving himself an exceptional shinobi. Indeed, his progress stalled for several years and he did not advance beyond the status of Genin, even despite the urgings from his increasingly frustrated mother.

With time, Kumogakure’s influence was retracted from Yukigakure, and they were free to wallow in their poverty once again. This all made little difference to Tagayasu- until he realized that without Kumogakure’s superior infrastructure, he would not longer be able to enact such large gestures of romanticism, and most of the families in his village quickly moved away to “greener pastures”. It was this that finally snapped his priorities into place and, for a time, encouraged the lad to focus on his shinobi studies. He believed that if he became skilled enough, he could travel the world and seek the perfect girl at all of the world’s corners.

=== Chapter 3 | The Warmest Winter ===

Even despite his best efforts, the quality of training available in Yukigakure after the fall of the N.C.I.A was lackluster at best. Tagayasu had barely managed to be nominated for the position of Chunin at the time that relations between Iwagakure and Yukigakure broke down again in full. Though he had been loosely aware of their conflicts in the past, his abundant absence of skill had left him fairly untapped as a resource at Yukigakure’s disposal. He had no strong opinions about Iwagakure and would often attempt to shift the attention away from his prowess as a shinobi… girls left in the nation of Snow did not seem to prefer weak ninja.

As the war with Iwagakure had delayed his proper training, Tagayasu was made to serve as a pack mule for Yukigakure’s limited supplies; while he could not be trusted to fight, his body was strong enough to run resources and messages as was necessary to coordinate the defense against Iwagakure. For all of his best efforts, he received little recognition by his superiors and was never elevated to the position of Chunin proper.

When the war ended, he was far less upset by the final result than his contemporaries. To him, a relationship with Iwagakure meant that there were more women to be seen and that his ability to earn money would increase dramatically. Though he had missed the Chunin Exams in Kumogakure, Tagayasu was given a private ceremony in his own village and was finally elevated to a rank that he likely could have received some considerable time ago. Without much further complaint, he accepted a reassignment to Iwagakure to serve alongside their military, and moved quickly away from the ever disappointed scowl of his harsh mother.

Towakō could not stand to serve Iwagakure and retired as a shinobi; though she did not approve of Tagayasu’s antics or priorities, she conceded to him the blade that had originally lead to his conception… and the same wielded by his father. It was revealed to him that upon their flight from Kumo and Konohagakure, she had stolen his father’s blade and intended to never again depend upon “Destiny” to determine her fate, romantically or otherwise. Naturally, this resolve had eroded slowly over time by the poverty of her home nation, her son’s own apparent incompetence, and her village’s loss to Iwagakure. She hoped that with each blade in hand, Tagayasu might one day reach the levels of strength that she hoped he was capable of- to exceed both herself and her separated husband.

== Personality ==

Often described as a single-minded individual, Tagayasu is the sort of man who dedicates his entirety to the mastery of a craft when he sets out to do it; this penchant for perfectionism ranges from his curious choice in musical instrument to his romantic endeavors. Though he continually strives to achieve the pinnacle of his performance in a given field(assuming, of course, that he has deigned such a thing to be worthy of his efforts), this Hatake is not the sort of perfectionist that takes his failures personally. It is quite the opposite, in fact- he considered every stumble a worthwhile learning opportunity and only takes failure critically if there was not a lesson to be learned in it. He does not often like to compare himself to others in anything more than a teasing fashion, as he considers each person to learn and perform according to their own qualities, and he finds it nonsensical to be upset that a large man can lift more weight than a small one. Despite this, he takes a great deal of pride in the effort that he does put forth and often considers the result of his work to be well above average, even if that average is not directly associated with the performance of another.

When working with others, Tagayasu is met with mixed results. He’s not a generally disliked individual, but that is primarily due to the calmer nature of his personality when not actively working to make an impression on someone. That being said, the man’s priorities are often met with great scrutiny and can get in the way of more important missions- he would rather flirt that fight and will almost always opt for a nonviolent approach, even going so far as to attempt to convince opponents not to fight in the midst of their battle. He does enjoy combat only as far as treating it as a mental exercise-- a game like chess or go; if he does not feel challenged by an opponent, he may work to quickly bring the battle to a close… or even surrender and accept the “shame of defeat” if it allowed him to stop doing something he did not enjoy.

A pursuit of enjoyment or entertainment is a strong underlying characteristic of Tagayasu. He does not like to do things that are not fun or enriching, and similarly will blow off duties if they are not immediately fun or do not obviously lead to a more entertaining encounter. The pinnacle of his failures in this regard is his habit of placing women and romance above all other things-- to such an extent that he is exactly the type of individual that might be lured away from a post with some “innocuous” flirtation.

As a shinobi, Tagayasu only pushes himself hard enough to ensure missions that might fuel his hobbies. He accepts only as many missions are necessary to sustain his hobbies, and only rarely will accept ones outside of his normal scope of an “acceptable workload”- and those are primarily used to build up a bank account that might facilitate traveling the world.

== Appearance ==

Be it his wintry grey hair or his mellifluous eyes- Hatake Tagayasu is a man that stands out in a crowd. For anyone with any experience with other members of his clan, he appears much as one might expect; the man's hair makes up for its nearly colorless hue with unkempt character in spades, always spilling over the line of his headband with little concern for looking particularly respectable. Occasionally framed by his monochromatic strands is Tagayasu's countenance- a composite of Yuki no Kuni's high-but-slender cheekbones and the Hatake's narrow jaw line, punctuated with sharply shaped eyes and a relatively small nose.

His physique is toned as any shinobi's could be expected to be, though he shows no outward signs of deliberate bulking. Instead, his body aptly reflects the less severe nature of his preferred fighting style- focusing on agility over strength. Tagayasu's skin leans toward the pale spectrum, reflecting his homeland's northern location; though he has his share of knicks and scars from shinobi combat, most of these are covered by his shinobi garb. As many ninja are known to do, he tends to prefer the very same shinobi attire even when not immediately on a mission, though he can be seen without his flak jacket frequently enough.

== Abilities ==

=== Chakra and Physical Prowess ===

As one would expect of his lineage, Tagayasu is kept in prime condition even despite his nonchalant attitude toward his shinobi duties. His Chakra reserves might be qualified only as 'average' or even somewhat 'below average', given that he focuses on a wide pool of combat options rather than opting for overwhelming force in one field or another; rather than attempting to bolster his Chakra pool exceptionally, Tagayasu chooses to refine his abilities in control. Similarly, his Chakra is naturally adaptive and exhibits the same qualities as the Hatake of myth, manifesting frequently as a white flow rather than the traditional blue- particularly when utilized in conjunction with specially forged weaponry. Tagayasu's physical prowess is not exceptional compared to many other shinobi, as he has focused his attentions on dexterity and evasiveness over raw strength or defenses- he seems to operate under the assumption that the best strategy is to avoid damage at all costs... and this philosophy's roots can be easily seen in his scar-addled frame.

=== Ninjutsu ===

As a shinobi that values utility over strength, Tagayasu's skill in Ninjutsu is more varied than focused. He attempts to fill his arsenal with as many utility-type techniques as possible, reserving only a few places dedicated to skills of pure offense. He capitalizes on the shinobi basics and attempts to use them to their greatest ability over developing his own techniques- often considering the creation of jutsu to be a waste of time when "others have already bothered with that." He has shown the ability to seamlessly weave chakra into his Taijutsu techniques to great effect- often turning meager strikes into powerful ones.

==== Nature Transformation ====

Born of a native of Yukigakure no Sato, Hatake Tagayasu possesses a minor variant of the Hyoton kekkei genkai. His Ice Release techniques most commonly take the form of standard Yukigakure ninjutsu(as Snow-type techniques), but he has occasionally demonstrated the ability to form Ice out of nearby water(or created water) rather than relying on Ice already being present on the battlefield. As an extension of this, he naturally possesses both the Water and Wind elemental affinities.

=== Intelligence ===

Above his outright shinobi prowess, Tagayasu's primary skills lie in his ability to form complex strategies on the fly. He tends to use his limited arsenal to great effect and can often adapt techniques into forms that meet his requirements in a given situation. He is perceptive and has shown the ability to mimic others motions to a limited degree, consequently allowing him to integrate many different forms into his fighting style. Beyond that, he spends more time reading than performing and has an extensive knowledge of shinobi tactics and abilities. His abilities to engage in high-level strategic thinking during combat often result in Tagayasu treating a battle like a game, sometimes to the great disappointment of enemies and allies alike. As a man of limited shinobi enthusiasm and a value of his own life/intelligence, Tagayasu is not opposed to engaging in the age-old tactical retreat.

<b>Hatake Tagayasu</b> (はたけ耕す, Tagayasu Hatake)

== Background ==

=== Prologue | The Springtime of False Fates ===

The story of Hatake Tagayasu begins not at his birth- or even at the beginning of his parents’ admittedly rocky relationship, but instead with the forging of two ‘married’ swords. Some thirty years ago, a blacksmith by the name of Aragane Tsutomu set out to create a weapon manufacturing empire the likes of which the world had never before experienced. Before endeavoring to remove himself forever from the forge, he decided to make one final masterpiece- a blade, or pair of blades, that would forever encapsulate his passion and skill as a smith. These blades took nearly a year in their entirety to forge and went through many prototypes, each of which being packaged and sold at criminally discounted prices; when they were completed, Tsutomu stepped away from his forge, satisfied that he had ‘peaked’ as a smith. The blades were modeled for the primordial forces of Yin and Yang and were named. “Kōkai (後悔)” was given to the black, Yin, blade- a symbol that he might never regret the path he was now choosing, and “Manzoku (満足)” was given to the white, Yang, blade- a reflection that he now cast off the ideal of “satisfaction” and that he would never stop reaching for more in this life. These blades had taken such a toll on his mind and body that Tsutomu spent a year recovering in the company of a woman who, to their mutual disappointment, would never become his wife. As for Kōkai and Manzoku- the married blades were given away as the final symbol on Tsutomu’s moving above and beyond his station as a blacksmith; though they were treasured by their new owner, it did not take long for their quality to grant their wielder confidence that exceeded his skill. The original recipient was slain and the blades separated to pass through the hands of many warriors.

And many warriors did wield the blades, until each had fallen into the hands of Hatake Kōsaku and Fuyukuma Towakō, of Konohagakure and Yukigakure, respectively. For the first time since the blades’ inception, they were brought together. The two shinobi from differing nations clashed several times upon the battlefield, though they proved to be quite equal- enough that they gained great respect for one another. With each clash, they understood that their blades were not meant to work against one another, but were rather part of a unit- a pair of blades that together would be unstoppable. In this, they saw fate- and believed their destiny was to be joined. Hatake Kōsaku and Fuyukuma Towakō married after a small handful of years skirting around the rules of their villages. At the time of their marriage, Towakō realized that Yukigakure was quite poor compared to Konohagakure and she wished to liberate herself from working for scraps; she took the first opportunity to forsake Yuki no Kuni and travel to Hi no Kuni. Here, she lived alongside Kōsaku and the pair were… a curious couple.

No longer driven together by the passion of battle and the supposed call of “destiny” to unite their blades, the relationship between Kōsaku and Towakō cooled quite quickly. For a time, they tolerated each other, but they eventually grew to loathe each other. Towakō believed that Kōsaku had lured her away from her home and family with false promises, and Kōsaku believed that Towakō had used him as a means of escaping the poverty of Yuki no Kuni. And so they fought- and in their aggression, their attraction for one another sparked again. This was the married life of these two strange individuals- as their fights would eventually cease, tempered by their incessant lovemaking, they would quickly again realize that they did not actually care for one another and begin fighting anew. Each time that this happened, they would believe that destiny again pitted them together and that it was not their place to separate, and so the cycle continued- even after the conception and birth of our protagonist: Hatake Tagayasu.

=== Chapter 1 | The Summer of Abundant Melodies ===

Hatake Tagayasu was a mild-mannered child. As one might have expected of most Hatake children, he was quiet and contemplative- seeming to focus more on learning how to properly interact with the world that he lived in rather than wailing against the inevitability of boundaries. He did not fuss when it came time to enroll in school, and for the most part, seemed to enjoy the early ninja academy. Tagayasu placed around or slightly above average in most fields and only seemed to excel when it came to forward thinking and strategy implementation, though his hypothetical stratagems would occasionally fail due to his own personal lack of skill. By the projections of his teachers, he was perhaps even less skilled than each of his parents individually, and was only able to be considered their superior in the field of cleverness. And, indeed, the boy was clever- clever enough that he schemed constantly to get out of doing any work. It was believed by some of his teachers that he might have some hidden reservoir of talent that was obscured entirely by his willingness to half-perform on most tests in order to deliberately lower expectations of him. His parents did notice this about him, but were often more concerned with each other than they were with raising him… in truth, he was more or less communally raised by the other members of the Hatake clan. It was because of this that Tagayasu took to solitude and quiet observation. He decided early on that he wanted to capture the same energy that his parents had when dealing with one another and, in his worldly inexperience, decided that passion and love was more important that strength or skill.

Tagayasu was nearing graduation from Konohagakure’s shinobi academy when the tragedy that was Kumogakure’s blitzkrieg occurred. Though he was well protected by both of his parents, the boy’s mother had finally decided that this was the final straw in her relationship with his father-- this was the hand of fate showing her that she had made a mistake in moving to Konoha after all. Not wanting to remain and participate in the resistance movement of a nation that she honestly did not care about, she took Tagayasu and returned to the cold shelter of her homeland, believing that they would be safe from Kumogakure’s influence in such a remote region.

=== Chapter 2 | The Fall of The World ===

In Yukigakure, Tagayasu was re-enrolled in the shinobi academy and acclimated quickly to his new classmates, though they were decidedly less kind than their Konohagakure counterparts. His behaviors continued much as they had before, though adjusted for the chilly demeanor of his new “friends”. Within the year, however, Kumogakure had stretched far enough to assume control over Yukigakure, and Tagayasu’s training was adjusted to accommodate the needs of Kumogakure’s Empire. Fortunately, his tendency to underperform left him free to pursue his other interests as he needed, as his new teachers believed that he would never amount to anything more than a common foot-soldier.

Tagayasu focused the majority of his efforts on learning the crafts of romance, as determined by such “reliable” sources as romcom movies and penny romance novels. He learned the art of needlessly flowery poetry, music performed by a rare instrument, and ‘spontaneous’ gestures of romance. The boy quickly became obsessed with these things and was a nuanced success with the girls in his academy classes. Tagayasu rarely failed to attract the object of his affections, but often found the targets of his romantic games to be boring or uninspired and cast them aside as soon as their childish version of a honey-moon stage ended. Indeed, he felt that for all the preaching girls did about romantic gestures, they were woefully inadequate at performing the gestures themselves. Even beyond his graduation, he was more focused on the pursuit of women and romance than proving himself an exceptional shinobi. Indeed, his progress stalled for several years and he did not advance beyond the status of Genin, even despite the urgings from his increasingly frustrated mother.

With time, Kumogakure’s influence was retracted from Yukigakure, and they were free to wallow in their poverty once again. This all made little difference to Tagayasu- until he realized that without Kumogakure’s superior infrastructure, he would not longer be able to enact such large gestures of romanticism, and most of the families in his village quickly moved away to “greener pastures”. It was this that finally snapped his priorities into place and, for a time, encouraged the lad to focus on his shinobi studies. He believed that if he became skilled enough, he could travel the world and seek the perfect girl at all of the world’s corners.

=== Chapter 3 | The Warmest Winter ===

Even despite his best efforts, the quality of training available in Yukigakure after the fall of the N.C.I.A was lackluster at best. Tagayasu had barely managed to be nominated for the position of Chunin at the time that relations between Iwagakure and Yukigakure broke down again in full. Though he had been loosely aware of their conflicts in the past, his abundant absence of skill had left him fairly untapped as a resource at Yukigakure’s disposal. He had no strong opinions about Iwagakure and would often attempt to shift the attention away from his prowess as a shinobi… girls left in the nation of Snow did not seem to prefer weak ninja.

As the war with Iwagakure had delayed his proper training, Tagayasu was made to serve as a pack mule for Yukigakure’s limited supplies; while he could not be trusted to fight, his body was strong enough to run resources and messages as was necessary to coordinate the defense against Iwagakure. For all of his best efforts, he received little recognition by his superiors and was never elevated to the position of Chunin proper.

When the war ended, he was far less upset by the final result than his contemporaries. To him, a relationship with Iwagakure meant that there were more women to be seen and that his ability to earn money would increase dramatically. Though he had missed the Chunin Exams in Kumogakure, Tagayasu was given a private ceremony in his own village and was finally elevated to a rank that he likely could have received some considerable time ago. Without much further complaint, he accepted a reassignment to Iwagakure to serve alongside their military, and moved quickly away from the ever disappointed scowl of his harsh mother.

Towakō could not stand to serve Iwagakure and retired as a shinobi; though she did not approve of Tagayasu’s antics or priorities, she conceded to him the blade that had originally lead to his conception… and the same wielded by his father. It was revealed to him that upon their flight from Kumo and Konohagakure, she had stolen his father’s blade and intended to never again depend upon “Destiny” to determine her fate, romantically or otherwise. Naturally, this resolve had eroded slowly over time by the poverty of her home nation, her son’s own apparent incompetence, and her village’s loss to Iwagakure. She hoped that with each blade in hand, Tagayasu might one day reach the levels of strength that she hoped he was capable of- to exceed both herself and her separated husband.

== Personality ==

Often described as a single-minded individual, Tagayasu is the sort of man who dedicates his entirety to the mastery of a craft when he sets out to do it; this penchant for perfectionism ranges from his curious choice in musical instrument to his romantic endeavors. Though he continually strives to achieve the pinnacle of his performance in a given field(assuming, of course, that he has deigned such a thing to be worthy of his efforts), this Hatake is not the sort of perfectionist that takes his failures personally. It is quite the opposite, in fact- he considered every stumble a worthwhile learning opportunity and only takes failure critically if there was not a lesson to be learned in it. He does not often like to compare himself to others in anything more than a teasing fashion, as he considers each person to learn and perform according to their own qualities, and he finds it nonsensical to be upset that a large man can lift more weight than a small one. Despite this, he takes a great deal of pride in the effort that he does put forth and often considers the result of his work to be well above average, even if that average is not directly associated with the performance of another.

When working with others, Tagayasu is met with mixed results. He’s not a generally disliked individual, but that is primarily due to the calmer nature of his personality when not actively working to make an impression on someone. That being said, the man’s priorities are often met with great scrutiny and can get in the way of more important missions- he would rather flirt that fight and will almost always opt for a nonviolent approach, even going so far as to attempt to convince opponents not to fight in the midst of their battle. He does enjoy combat only as far as treating it as a mental exercise-- a game like chess or go; if he does not feel challenged by an opponent, he may work to quickly bring the battle to a close… or even surrender and accept the “shame of defeat” if it allowed him to stop doing something he did not enjoy.

A pursuit of enjoyment or entertainment is a strong underlying characteristic of Tagayasu. He does not like to do things that are not fun or enriching, and similarly will blow off duties if they are not immediately fun or do not obviously lead to a more entertaining encounter. The pinnacle of his failures in this regard is his habit of placing women and romance above all other things-- to such an extent that he is exactly the type of individual that might be lured away from a post with some “innocuous” flirtation.

As a shinobi, Tagayasu only pushes himself hard enough to ensure missions that might fuel his hobbies. He accepts only as many missions are necessary to sustain his hobbies, and only rarely will accept ones outside of his normal scope of an “acceptable workload”- and those are primarily used to build up a bank account that might facilitate traveling the world.

== Appearance ==

Be it his wintry grey hair or his mellifluous eyes- Hatake Tagayasu is a man that stands out in a crowd. For anyone with any experience with other members of his clan, he appears much as one might expect; the man's hair makes up for its nearly colorless hue with unkempt character in spades, always spilling over the line of his headband with little concern for looking particularly respectable. Occasionally framed by his monochromatic strands is Tagayasu's countenance- a composite of Yuki no Kuni's high-but-slender cheekbones and the Hatake's narrow jaw line, punctuated with sharply shaped eyes and a relatively small nose.

His physique is toned as any shinobi's could be expected to be, though he shows no outward signs of deliberate bulking. Instead, his body aptly reflects the less severe nature of his preferred fighting style- focusing on agility over strength. Tagayasu's skin leans toward the pale spectrum, reflecting his homeland's northern location; though he has his share of knicks and scars from shinobi combat, most of these are covered by his shinobi garb. As many ninja are known to do, he tends to prefer the very same shinobi attire even when not immediately on a mission, though he can be seen without his flak jacket frequently enough.

== Abilities ==

=== Chakra and Physical Prowess ===

As one would expect of his lineage, Tagayasu is kept in prime condition even despite his nonchalant attitude toward his shinobi duties. His Chakra reserves might be qualified only as 'average' or even somewhat 'below average', given that he focuses on a wide pool of combat options rather than opting for overwhelming force in one field or another; rather than attempting to bolster his Chakra pool exceptionally, Tagayasu chooses to refine his abilities in control. Similarly, his Chakra is naturally adaptive and exhibits the same qualities as the Hatake of myth, manifesting frequently as a white flow rather than the traditional blue- particularly when utilized in conjunction with specially forged weaponry. Tagayasu's physical prowess is not exceptional compared to many other shinobi, as he has focused his attentions on dexterity and evasiveness over raw strength or defenses- he seems to operate under the assumption that the best strategy is to avoid damage at all costs... and this philosophy's roots can be easily seen in his scar-addled frame.

=== Ninjutsu ===

As a shinobi that values utility over strength, Tagayasu's skill in Ninjutsu is more varied than focused. He attempts to fill his arsenal with as many utility-type techniques as possible, reserving only a few places dedicated to skills of pure offense. He capitalizes on the shinobi basics and attempts to use them to their greatest ability over developing his own techniques- often considering the creation of jutsu to be a waste of time when "others have already bothered with that." He has shown the ability to seamlessly weave chakra into his Taijutsu techniques to great effect- often turning meager strikes into powerful ones.

==== Nature Transformation ====

Born of a native of Yukigakure no Sato, Hatake Tagayasu possesses a minor variant of the Hyoton kekkei genkai. His Ice Release techniques most commonly take the form of standard Yukigakure ninjutsu(as Snow-type techniques), but he has occasionally demonstrated the ability to form Ice out of nearby water(or created water) rather than relying on Ice already being present on the battlefield. As an extension of this, he naturally possesses both the Water and Wind elemental affinities.

<b>Hatake Tagayasu</b> (はたけ耕す, Tagayasu Hatake)

== Background ==

=== Prologue | The Springtime of False Fates ===

The story of Hatake Tagayasu begins not at his birth- or even at the beginning of his parents’ admittedly rocky relationship, but instead with the forging of two ‘married’ swords. Some thirty years ago, a blacksmith by the name of Aragane Tsutomu set out to create a weapon manufacturing empire the likes of which the world had never before experienced. Before endeavoring to remove himself forever from the forge, he decided to make one final masterpiece- a blade, or pair of blades, that would forever encapsulate his passion and skill as a smith. These blades took nearly a year in their entirety to forge and went through many prototypes, each of which being packaged and sold at criminally discounted prices; when they were completed, Tsutomu stepped away from his forge, satisfied that he had ‘peaked’ as a smith. The blades were modeled for the primordial forces of Yin and Yang and were named. “Kōkai (後悔)” was given to the black, Yin, blade- a symbol that he might never regret the path he was now choosing, and “Manzoku (満足)” was given to the white, Yang, blade- a reflection that he now cast off the ideal of “satisfaction” and that he would never stop reaching for more in this life. These blades had taken such a toll on his mind and body that Tsutomu spent a year recovering in the company of a woman who, to their mutual disappointment, would never become his wife. As for Kōkai and Manzoku- the married blades were given away as the final symbol on Tsutomu’s moving above and beyond his station as a blacksmith; though they were treasured by their new owner, it did not take long for their quality to grant their wielder confidence that exceeded his skill. The original recipient was slain and the blades separated to pass through the hands of many warriors.

And many warriors did wield the blades, until each had fallen into the hands of Hatake Kōsaku and Fuyukuma Towakō, of Konohagakure and Yukigakure, respectively. For the first time since the blades’ inception, they were brought together. The two shinobi from differing nations clashed several times upon the battlefield, though they proved to be quite equal- enough that they gained great respect for one another. With each clash, they understood that their blades were not meant to work against one another, but were rather part of a unit- a pair of blades that together would be unstoppable. In this, they saw fate- and believed their destiny was to be joined. Hatake Kōsaku and Fuyukuma Towakō married after a small handful of years skirting around the rules of their villages. At the time of their marriage, Towakō realized that Yukigakure was quite poor compared to Konohagakure and she wished to liberate herself from working for scraps; she took the first opportunity to forsake Yuki no Kuni and travel to Hi no Kuni. Here, she lived alongside Kōsaku and the pair were… a curious couple.

No longer driven together by the passion of battle and the supposed call of “destiny” to unite their blades, the relationship between Kōsaku and Towakō cooled quite quickly. For a time, they tolerated each other, but they eventually grew to loathe each other. Towakō believed that Kōsaku had lured her away from her home and family with false promises, and Kōsaku believed that Towakō had used him as a means of escaping the poverty of Yuki no Kuni. And so they fought- and in their aggression, their attraction for one another sparked again. This was the married life of these two strange individuals- as their fights would eventually cease, tempered by their incessant lovemaking, they would quickly again realize that they did not actually care for one another and begin fighting anew. Each time that this happened, they would believe that destiny again pitted them together and that it was not their place to separate, and so the cycle continued- even after the conception and birth of our protagonist: Hatake Tagayasu.

=== Chapter 1 | The Summer of Abundant Melodies ===

Hatake Tagayasu was a mild-mannered child. As one might have expected of most Hatake children, he was quiet and contemplative- seeming to focus more on learning how to properly interact with the world that he lived in rather than wailing against the inevitability of boundaries. He did not fuss when it came time to enroll in school, and for the most part, seemed to enjoy the early ninja academy. Tagayasu placed around or slightly above average in most fields and only seemed to excel when it came to forward thinking and strategy implementation, though his hypothetical stratagems would occasionally fail due to his own personal lack of skill. By the projections of his teachers, he was perhaps even less skilled than each of his parents individually, and was only able to be considered their superior in the field of cleverness. And, indeed, the boy was clever- clever enough that he schemed constantly to get out of doing any work. It was believed by some of his teachers that he might have some hidden reservoir of talent that was obscured entirely by his willingness to half-perform on most tests in order to deliberately lower expectations of him. His parents did notice this about him, but were often more concerned with each other than they were with raising him… in truth, he was more or less communally raised by the other members of the Hatake clan. It was because of this that Tagayasu took to solitude and quiet observation. He decided early on that he wanted to capture the same energy that his parents had when dealing with one another and, in his worldly inexperience, decided that passion and love was more important that strength or skill.

Tagayasu was nearing graduation from Konohagakure’s shinobi academy when the tragedy that was Kumogakure’s blitzkrieg occurred. Though he was well protected by both of his parents, the boy’s mother had finally decided that this was the final straw in her relationship with his father-- this was the hand of fate showing her that she had made a mistake in moving to Konoha after all. Not wanting to remain and participate in the resistance movement of a nation that she honestly did not care about, she took Tagayasu and returned to the cold shelter of her homeland, believing that they would be safe from Kumogakure’s influence in such a remote region.

=== Chapter 2 | The Fall of The World ===

In Yukigakure, Tagayasu was re-enrolled in the shinobi academy and acclimated quickly to his new classmates, though they were decidedly less kind than their Konohagakure counterparts. His behaviors continued much as they had before, though adjusted for the chilly demeanor of his new “friends”. Within the year, however, Kumogakure had stretched far enough to assume control over Yukigakure, and Tagayasu’s training was adjusted to accommodate the needs of Kumogakure’s Empire. Fortunately, his tendency to underperform left him free to pursue his other interests as he needed, as his new teachers believed that he would never amount to anything more than a common foot-soldier.

Tagayasu focused the majority of his efforts on learning the crafts of romance, as determined by such “reliable” sources as romcom movies and penny romance novels. He learned the art of needlessly flowery poetry, music performed by a rare instrument, and ‘spontaneous’ gestures of romance. The boy quickly became obsessed with these things and was a nuanced success with the girls in his academy classes. Tagayasu rarely failed to attract the object of his affections, but often found the targets of his romantic games to be boring or uninspired and cast them aside as soon as their childish version of a honey-moon stage ended. Indeed, he felt that for all the preaching girls did about romantic gestures, they were woefully inadequate at performing the gestures themselves. Even beyond his graduation, he was more focused on the pursuit of women and romance than proving himself an exceptional shinobi. Indeed, his progress stalled for several years and he did not advance beyond the status of Genin, even despite the urgings from his increasingly frustrated mother.

With time, Kumogakure’s influence was retracted from Yukigakure, and they were free to wallow in their poverty once again. This all made little difference to Tagayasu- until he realized that without Kumogakure’s superior infrastructure, he would not longer be able to enact such large gestures of romanticism, and most of the families in his village quickly moved away to “greener pastures”. It was this that finally snapped his priorities into place and, for a time, encouraged the lad to focus on his shinobi studies. He believed that if he became skilled enough, he could travel the world and seek the perfect girl at all of the world’s corners.

=== Chapter 3 | The Warmest Winter ===

Even despite his best efforts, the quality of training available in Yukigakure after the fall of the N.C.I.A was lackluster at best. Tagayasu had barely managed to be nominated for the position of Chunin at the time that relations between Iwagakure and Yukigakure broke down again in full. Though he had been loosely aware of their conflicts in the past, his abundant absence of skill had left him fairly untapped as a resource at Yukigakure’s disposal. He had no strong opinions about Iwagakure and would often attempt to shift the attention away from his prowess as a shinobi… girls left in the nation of Snow did not seem to prefer weak ninja.

As the war with Iwagakure had delayed his proper training, Tagayasu was made to serve as a pack mule for Yukigakure’s limited supplies; while he could not be trusted to fight, his body was strong enough to run resources and messages as was necessary to coordinate the defense against Iwagakure. For all of his best efforts, he received little recognition by his superiors and was never elevated to the position of Chunin proper.

When the war ended, he was far less upset by the final result than his contemporaries. To him, a relationship with Iwagakure meant that there were more women to be seen and that his ability to earn money would increase dramatically. Though he had missed the Chunin Exams in Kumogakure, Tagayasu was given a private ceremony in his own village and was finally elevated to a rank that he likely could have received some considerable time ago. Without much further complaint, he accepted a reassignment to Iwagakure to serve alongside their military, and moved quickly away from the ever disappointed scowl of his harsh mother.

Towakō could not stand to serve Iwagakure and retired as a shinobi; though she did not approve of Tagayasu’s antics or priorities, she conceded to him the blade that had originally lead to his conception… and the same wielded by his father. It was revealed to him that upon their flight from Kumo and Konohagakure, she had stolen his father’s blade and intended to never again depend upon “Destiny” to determine her fate, romantically or otherwise. Naturally, this resolve had eroded slowly over time by the poverty of her home nation, her son’s own apparent incompetence, and her village’s loss to Iwagakure. She hoped that with each blade in hand, Tagayasu might one day reach the levels of strength that she hoped he was capable of- to exceed both herself and her separated husband.

== Personality ==

Often described as a single-minded individual, Tagayasu is the sort of man who dedicates his entirety to the mastery of a craft when he sets out to do it; this penchant for perfectionism ranges from his curious choice in musical instrument to his romantic endeavors. Though he continually strives to achieve the pinnacle of his performance in a given field(assuming, of course, that he has deigned such a thing to be worthy of his efforts), this Hatake is not the sort of perfectionist that takes his failures personally. It is quite the opposite, in fact- he considered every stumble a worthwhile learning opportunity and only takes failure critically if there was not a lesson to be learned in it. He does not often like to compare himself to others in anything more than a teasing fashion, as he considers each person to learn and perform according to their own qualities, and he finds it nonsensical to be upset that a large man can lift more weight than a small one. Despite this, he takes a great deal of pride in the effort that he does put forth and often considers the result of his work to be well above average, even if that average is not directly associated with the performance of another.

When working with others, Tagayasu is met with mixed results. He’s not a generally disliked individual, but that is primarily due to the calmer nature of his personality when not actively working to make an impression on someone. That being said, the man’s priorities are often met with great scrutiny and can get in the way of more important missions- he would rather flirt that fight and will almost always opt for a nonviolent approach, even going so far as to attempt to convince opponents not to fight in the midst of their battle. He does enjoy combat only as far as treating it as a mental exercise-- a game like chess or go; if he does not feel challenged by an opponent, he may work to quickly bring the battle to a close… or even surrender and accept the “shame of defeat” if it allowed him to stop doing something he did not enjoy.

A pursuit of enjoyment or entertainment is a strong underlying characteristic of Tagayasu. He does not like to do things that are not fun or enriching, and similarly will blow off duties if they are not immediately fun or do not obviously lead to a more entertaining encounter. The pinnacle of his failures in this regard is his habit of placing women and romance above all other things-- to such an extent that he is exactly the type of individual that might be lured away from a post with some “innocuous” flirtation.

As a shinobi, Tagayasu only pushes himself hard enough to ensure missions that might fuel his hobbies. He accepts only as many missions are necessary to sustain his hobbies, and only rarely will accept ones outside of his normal scope of an “acceptable workload”- and those are primarily used to build up a bank account that might facilitate traveling the world.

== Appearance ==

Be it his wintry grey hair or his mellifluous eyes- Hatake Tagayasu is a man that stands out in a crowd. For anyone with any experience with other members of his clan, he appears much as one might expect; the man's hair makes up for its nearly colorless hue with unkempt character in spades, always spilling over the line of his headband with little concern for looking particularly respectable. Occasionally framed by his monochromatic strands is Tagayasu's countenance- a composite of Yuki no Kuni's high-but-slender cheekbones and the Hatake's narrow jaw line, punctuated with sharply shaped eyes and a relatively small nose.

His physique is toned as any shinobi's could be expected to be, though he shows no outward signs of deliberate bulking. Instead, his body aptly reflects the less severe nature of his preferred fighting style- focusing on agility over strength. Tagayasu's skin leans toward the pale spectrum, reflecting his homeland's northern location; though he has his share of knicks and scars from shinobi combat, most of these are covered by his shinobi garb. As many ninja are known to do, he tends to prefer the very same shinobi attire even when not immediately on a mission, though he can be seen without his flak jacket frequently enough.

=== Chakra and Physical Prowess ===

As one would expect of his lineage, Tagayasu is kept in prime condition even despite his nonchalant attitude toward his shinobi duties. His Chakra reserves might be qualified only as 'average' or even somewhat 'below average', given that he focuses on a wide pool of combat options rather than opting for overwhelming force in one field or another; rather than attempting to bolster his Chakra pool exceptionally, Tagayasu chooses to refine his abilities in control. Similarly, his Chakra is naturally adaptive and exhibits the same qualities as the Hatake of myth, manifesting frequently as a white flow rather than the traditional blue- particularly when utilized in conjunction with specially forged weaponry. Tagayasu's physical prowess is not exceptional compared to many other shinobi, as he has focused his attentions on dexterity and evasiveness over raw strength or defenses- he seems to operate under the assumption that the best strategy is to avoid damage at all costs... and this philosophy's roots can be easily seen in his scar-addled frame.

<b>Hatake Tagayasu</b> (はたけ耕す, Tagayasu Hatake)

== Background ==

=== Prologue | The Springtime of False Fates ===

The story of Hatake Tagayasu begins not at his birth- or even at the beginning of his parents’ admittedly rocky relationship, but instead with the forging of two ‘married’ swords. Some thirty years ago, a blacksmith by the name of Aragane Tsutomu set out to create a weapon manufacturing empire the likes of which the world had never before experienced. Before endeavoring to remove himself forever from the forge, he decided to make one final masterpiece- a blade, or pair of blades, that would forever encapsulate his passion and skill as a smith. These blades took nearly a year in their entirety to forge and went through many prototypes, each of which being packaged and sold at criminally discounted prices; when they were completed, Tsutomu stepped away from his forge, satisfied that he had ‘peaked’ as a smith. The blades were modeled for the primordial forces of Yin and Yang and were named. “Kōkai (後悔)” was given to the black, Yin, blade- a symbol that he might never regret the path he was now choosing, and “Manzoku (満足)” was given to the white, Yang, blade- a reflection that he now cast off the ideal of “satisfaction” and that he would never stop reaching for more in this life. These blades had taken such a toll on his mind and body that Tsutomu spent a year recovering in the company of a woman who, to their mutual disappointment, would never become his wife. As for Kōkai and Manzoku- the married blades were given away as the final symbol on Tsutomu’s moving above and beyond his station as a blacksmith; though they were treasured by their new owner, it did not take long for their quality to grant their wielder confidence that exceeded his skill. The original recipient was slain and the blades separated to pass through the hands of many warriors.

And many warriors did wield the blades, until each had fallen into the hands of Hatake Kōsaku and Fuyukuma Towakō, of Konohagakure and Yukigakure, respectively. For the first time since the blades’ inception, they were brought together. The two shinobi from differing nations clashed several times upon the battlefield, though they proved to be quite equal- enough that they gained great respect for one another. With each clash, they understood that their blades were not meant to work against one another, but were rather part of a unit- a pair of blades that together would be unstoppable. In this, they saw fate- and believed their destiny was to be joined. Hatake Kōsaku and Fuyukuma Towakō married after a small handful of years skirting around the rules of their villages. At the time of their marriage, Towakō realized that Yukigakure was quite poor compared to Konohagakure and she wished to liberate herself from working for scraps; she took the first opportunity to forsake Yuki no Kuni and travel to Hi no Kuni. Here, she lived alongside Kōsaku and the pair were… a curious couple.

No longer driven together by the passion of battle and the supposed call of “destiny” to unite their blades, the relationship between Kōsaku and Towakō cooled quite quickly. For a time, they tolerated each other, but they eventually grew to loathe each other. Towakō believed that Kōsaku had lured her away from her home and family with false promises, and Kōsaku believed that Towakō had used him as a means of escaping the poverty of Yuki no Kuni. And so they fought- and in their aggression, their attraction for one another sparked again. This was the married life of these two strange individuals- as their fights would eventually cease, tempered by their incessant lovemaking, they would quickly again realize that they did not actually care for one another and begin fighting anew. Each time that this happened, they would believe that destiny again pitted them together and that it was not their place to separate, and so the cycle continued- even after the conception and birth of our protagonist: Hatake Tagayasu.

=== Chapter 1 | The Summer of Abundant Melodies ===

Hatake Tagayasu was a mild-mannered child. As one might have expected of most Hatake children, he was quiet and contemplative- seeming to focus more on learning how to properly interact with the world that he lived in rather than wailing against the inevitability of boundaries. He did not fuss when it came time to enroll in school, and for the most part, seemed to enjoy the early ninja academy. Tagayasu placed around or slightly above average in most fields and only seemed to excel when it came to forward thinking and strategy implementation, though his hypothetical stratagems would occasionally fail due to his own personal lack of skill. By the projections of his teachers, he was perhaps even less skilled than each of his parents individually, and was only able to be considered their superior in the field of cleverness. And, indeed, the boy was clever- clever enough that he schemed constantly to get out of doing any work. It was believed by some of his teachers that he might have some hidden reservoir of talent that was obscured entirely by his willingness to half-perform on most tests in order to deliberately lower expectations of him. His parents did notice this about him, but were often more concerned with each other than they were with raising him… in truth, he was more or less communally raised by the other members of the Hatake clan. It was because of this that Tagayasu took to solitude and quiet observation. He decided early on that he wanted to capture the same energy that his parents had when dealing with one another and, in his worldly inexperience, decided that passion and love was more important that strength or skill.

Tagayasu was nearing graduation from Konohagakure’s shinobi academy when the tragedy that was Kumogakure’s blitzkrieg occurred. Though he was well protected by both of his parents, the boy’s mother had finally decided that this was the final straw in her relationship with his father-- this was the hand of fate showing her that she had made a mistake in moving to Konoha after all. Not wanting to remain and participate in the resistance movement of a nation that she honestly did not care about, she took Tagayasu and returned to the cold shelter of her homeland, believing that they would be safe from Kumogakure’s influence in such a remote region.

=== Chapter 2 | The Fall of The World ===

In Yukigakure, Tagayasu was re-enrolled in the shinobi academy and acclimated quickly to his new classmates, though they were decidedly less kind than their Konohagakure counterparts. His behaviors continued much as they had before, though adjusted for the chilly demeanor of his new “friends”. Within the year, however, Kumogakure had stretched far enough to assume control over Yukigakure, and Tagayasu’s training was adjusted to accommodate the needs of Kumogakure’s Empire. Fortunately, his tendency to underperform left him free to pursue his other interests as he needed, as his new teachers believed that he would never amount to anything more than a common foot-soldier.

Tagayasu focused the majority of his efforts on learning the crafts of romance, as determined by such “reliable” sources as romcom movies and penny romance novels. He learned the art of needlessly flowery poetry, music performed by a rare instrument, and ‘spontaneous’ gestures of romance. The boy quickly became obsessed with these things and was a nuanced success with the girls in his academy classes. Tagayasu rarely failed to attract the object of his affections, but often found the targets of his romantic games to be boring or uninspired and cast them aside as soon as their childish version of a honey-moon stage ended. Indeed, he felt that for all the preaching girls did about romantic gestures, they were woefully inadequate at performing the gestures themselves. Even beyond his graduation, he was more focused on the pursuit of women and romance than proving himself an exceptional shinobi. Indeed, his progress stalled for several years and he did not advance beyond the status of Genin, even despite the urgings from his increasingly frustrated mother.

With time, Kumogakure’s influence was retracted from Yukigakure, and they were free to wallow in their poverty once again. This all made little difference to Tagayasu- until he realized that without Kumogakure’s superior infrastructure, he would not longer be able to enact such large gestures of romanticism, and most of the families in his village quickly moved away to “greener pastures”. It was this that finally snapped his priorities into place and, for a time, encouraged the lad to focus on his shinobi studies. He believed that if he became skilled enough, he could travel the world and seek the perfect girl at all of the world’s corners.

=== Chapter 3 | The Warmest Winter ===

Even despite his best efforts, the quality of training available in Yukigakure after the fall of the N.C.I.A was lackluster at best. Tagayasu had barely managed to be nominated for the position of Chunin at the time that relations between Iwagakure and Yukigakure broke down again in full. Though he had been loosely aware of their conflicts in the past, his abundant absence of skill had left him fairly untapped as a resource at Yukigakure’s disposal. He had no strong opinions about Iwagakure and would often attempt to shift the attention away from his prowess as a shinobi… girls left in the nation of Snow did not seem to prefer weak ninja.

As the war with Iwagakure had delayed his proper training, Tagayasu was made to serve as a pack mule for Yukigakure’s limited supplies; while he could not be trusted to fight, his body was strong enough to run resources and messages as was necessary to coordinate the defense against Iwagakure. For all of his best efforts, he received little recognition by his superiors and was never elevated to the position of Chunin proper.

When the war ended, he was far less upset by the final result than his contemporaries. To him, a relationship with Iwagakure meant that there were more women to be seen and that his ability to earn money would increase dramatically. Though he had missed the Chunin Exams in Kumogakure, Tagayasu was given a private ceremony in his own village and was finally elevated to a rank that he likely could have received some considerable time ago. Without much further complaint, he accepted a reassignment to Iwagakure to serve alongside their military, and moved quickly away from the ever disappointed scowl of his harsh mother.

Towakō could not stand to serve Iwagakure and retired as a shinobi; though she did not approve of Tagayasu’s antics or priorities, she conceded to him the blade that had originally lead to his conception… and the same wielded by his father. It was revealed to him that upon their flight from Kumo and Konohagakure, she had stolen his father’s blade and intended to never again depend upon “Destiny” to determine her fate, romantically or otherwise. Naturally, this resolve had eroded slowly over time by the poverty of her home nation, her son’s own apparent incompetence, and her village’s loss to Iwagakure. She hoped that with each blade in hand, Tagayasu might one day reach the levels of strength that she hoped he was capable of- to exceed both herself and her separated husband.

== Personality ==

Often described as a single-minded individual, Tagayasu is the sort of man who dedicates his entirety to the mastery of a craft when he sets out to do it; this penchant for perfectionism ranges from his curious choice in musical instrument to his romantic endeavors. Though he continually strives to achieve the pinnacle of his performance in a given field(assuming, of course, that he has deigned such a thing to be worthy of his efforts), this Hatake is not the sort of perfectionist that takes his failures personally. It is quite the opposite, in fact- he considered every stumble a worthwhile learning opportunity and only takes failure critically if there was not a lesson to be learned in it. He does not often like to compare himself to others in anything more than a teasing fashion, as he considers each person to learn and perform according to their own qualities, and he finds it nonsensical to be upset that a large man can lift more weight than a small one. Despite this, he takes a great deal of pride in the effort that he does put forth and often considers the result of his work to be well above average, even if that average is not directly associated with the performance of another.

When working with others, Tagayasu is met with mixed results. He’s not a generally disliked individual, but that is primarily due to the calmer nature of his personality when not actively working to make an impression on someone. That being said, the man’s priorities are often met with great scrutiny and can get in the way of more important missions- he would rather flirt that fight and will almost always opt for a nonviolent approach, even going so far as to attempt to convince opponents not to fight in the midst of their battle. He does enjoy combat only as far as treating it as a mental exercise-- a game like chess or go; if he does not feel challenged by an opponent, he may work to quickly bring the battle to a close… or even surrender and accept the “shame of defeat” if it allowed him to stop doing something he did not enjoy.

A pursuit of enjoyment or entertainment is a strong underlying characteristic of Tagayasu. He does not like to do things that are not fun or enriching, and similarly will blow off duties if they are not immediately fun or do not obviously lead to a more entertaining encounter. The pinnacle of his failures in this regard is his habit of placing women and romance above all other things-- to such an extent that he is exactly the type of individual that might be lured away from a post with some “innocuous” flirtation.

As a shinobi, Tagayasu only pushes himself hard enough to ensure missions that might fuel his hobbies. He accepts only as many missions are necessary to sustain his hobbies, and only rarely will accept ones outside of his normal scope of an “acceptable workload”- and those are primarily used to build up a bank account that might facilitate traveling the world.

== Appearance ==

Be it his wintry grey hair or his mellifluous eyes- Hatake Tagayasu is a man that stands out in a crowd. For anyone with any experience with other members of his clan, he appears much as one might expect; the man's hair makes up for its nearly colorless hue with unkempt character in spades, always spilling over the line of his headband with little concern for looking particularly respectable. Occasionally framed by his monochromatic strands is Tagayasu's countenance- a composite of Yuki no Kuni's high-but-slender cheekbones and the Hatake's narrow jaw line, punctuated with sharply shaped eyes and a relatively small nose.

His physique is toned as any shinobi's could be expected to be, though he shows no outward signs of deliberate bulking. Instead, his body aptly reflects the less severe nature of his preferred fighting style- focusing on agility over strength. Tagayasu's skin leans toward the pale spectrum, reflecting his homeland's northern location; though he has his share of knicks and scars from shinobi combat, most of these are covered by his shinobi garb. As many ninja are known to do, he tends to prefer the very same shinobi attire even when not immediately on a mission, though he can be seen without his flak jacket frequently enough.

== Abilities ==

=== Chakra and Physical Prowess ===

As one would expect of his lineage, Tagayasu is kept in prime condition even despite his nonchalant attitude toward his shinobi duties. His Chakra reserves might be qualified only as 'average' or even somewhat 'below average', given that he focuses on a wide pool of combat options rather than opting for overwhelming force in one field or another; rather than attempting to bolster his Chakra pool exceptionally, Tagayasu chooses to refine his abilities in control. Similarly, his Chakra is naturally adaptive and exhibits the same qualities as the Hatake of myth, manifesting frequently as a white flow rather than the traditional blue- particularly when utilized in conjunction with specially forged weaponry. Tagayasu's physical prowess is not exceptional compared to many other shinobi, as he has focused his attentions on dexterity and evasiveness over raw strength or defenses- he seems to operate under the assumption that the best strategy is to avoid damage at all costs... and this philosophy's roots can be easily seen in his scar-addled frame.

<b>Hatake Tagayasu</b> (はたけ耕す, Tagayasu Hatake)

== Background ==

=== Prologue | The Springtime of False Fates ===

The story of Hatake Tagayasu begins not at his birth- or even at the beginning of his parents’ admittedly rocky relationship, but instead with the forging of two ‘married’ swords. Some thirty years ago, a blacksmith by the name of Aragane Tsutomu set out to create a weapon manufacturing empire the likes of which the world had never before experienced. Before endeavoring to remove himself forever from the forge, he decided to make one final masterpiece- a blade, or pair of blades, that would forever encapsulate his passion and skill as a smith. These blades took nearly a year in their entirety to forge and went through many prototypes, each of which being packaged and sold at criminally discounted prices; when they were completed, Tsutomu stepped away from his forge, satisfied that he had ‘peaked’ as a smith. The blades were modeled for the primordial forces of Yin and Yang and were named. “Kōkai (後悔)” was given to the black, Yin, blade- a symbol that he might never regret the path he was now choosing, and “Manzoku (満足)” was given to the white, Yang, blade- a reflection that he now cast off the ideal of “satisfaction” and that he would never stop reaching for more in this life. These blades had taken such a toll on his mind and body that Tsutomu spent a year recovering in the company of a woman who, to their mutual disappointment, would never become his wife. As for Kōkai and Manzoku- the married blades were given away as the final symbol on Tsutomu’s moving above and beyond his station as a blacksmith; though they were treasured by their new owner, it did not take long for their quality to grant their wielder confidence that exceeded his skill. The original recipient was slain and the blades separated to pass through the hands of many warriors.

And many warriors did wield the blades, until each had fallen into the hands of Hatake Kōsaku and Fuyukuma Towakō, of Konohagakure and Yukigakure, respectively. For the first time since the blades’ inception, they were brought together. The two shinobi from differing nations clashed several times upon the battlefield, though they proved to be quite equal- enough that they gained great respect for one another. With each clash, they understood that their blades were not meant to work against one another, but were rather part of a unit- a pair of blades that together would be unstoppable. In this, they saw fate- and believed their destiny was to be joined. Hatake Kōsaku and Fuyukuma Towakō married after a small handful of years skirting around the rules of their villages. At the time of their marriage, Towakō realized that Yukigakure was quite poor compared to Konohagakure and she wished to liberate herself from working for scraps; she took the first opportunity to forsake Yuki no Kuni and travel to Hi no Kuni. Here, she lived alongside Kōsaku and the pair were… a curious couple.

No longer driven together by the passion of battle and the supposed call of “destiny” to unite their blades, the relationship between Kōsaku and Towakō cooled quite quickly. For a time, they tolerated each other, but they eventually grew to loathe each other. Towakō believed that Kōsaku had lured her away from her home and family with false promises, and Kōsaku believed that Towakō had used him as a means of escaping the poverty of Yuki no Kuni. And so they fought- and in their aggression, their attraction for one another sparked again. This was the married life of these two strange individuals- as their fights would eventually cease, tempered by their incessant lovemaking, they would quickly again realize that they did not actually care for one another and begin fighting anew. Each time that this happened, they would believe that destiny again pitted them together and that it was not their place to separate, and so the cycle continued- even after the conception and birth of our protagonist: Hatake Tagayasu.

=== Chapter 1 | The Summer of Abundant Melodies ===

Hatake Tagayasu was a mild-mannered child. As one might have expected of most Hatake children, he was quiet and contemplative- seeming to focus more on learning how to properly interact with the world that he lived in rather than wailing against the inevitability of boundaries. He did not fuss when it came time to enroll in school, and for the most part, seemed to enjoy the early ninja academy. Tagayasu placed around or slightly above average in most fields and only seemed to excel when it came to forward thinking and strategy implementation, though his hypothetical stratagems would occasionally fail due to his own personal lack of skill. By the projections of his teachers, he was perhaps even less skilled than each of his parents individually, and was only able to be considered their superior in the field of cleverness. And, indeed, the boy was clever- clever enough that he schemed constantly to get out of doing any work. It was believed by some of his teachers that he might have some hidden reservoir of talent that was obscured entirely by his willingness to half-perform on most tests in order to deliberately lower expectations of him. His parents did notice this about him, but were often more concerned with each other than they were with raising him… in truth, he was more or less communally raised by the other members of the Hatake clan. It was because of this that Tagayasu took to solitude and quiet observation. He decided early on that he wanted to capture the same energy that his parents had when dealing with one another and, in his worldly inexperience, decided that passion and love was more important that strength or skill.

Tagayasu was nearing graduation from Konohagakure’s shinobi academy when the tragedy that was Kumogakure’s blitzkrieg occurred. Though he was well protected by both of his parents, the boy’s mother had finally decided that this was the final straw in her relationship with his father-- this was the hand of fate showing her that she had made a mistake in moving to Konoha after all. Not wanting to remain and participate in the resistance movement of a nation that she honestly did not care about, she took Tagayasu and returned to the cold shelter of her homeland, believing that they would be safe from Kumogakure’s influence in such a remote region.

=== Chapter 2 | The Fall of The World ===

In Yukigakure, Tagayasu was re-enrolled in the shinobi academy and acclimated quickly to his new classmates, though they were decidedly less kind than their Konohagakure counterparts. His behaviors continued much as they had before, though adjusted for the chilly demeanor of his new “friends”. Within the year, however, Kumogakure had stretched far enough to assume control over Yukigakure, and Tagayasu’s training was adjusted to accommodate the needs of Kumogakure’s Empire. Fortunately, his tendency to underperform left him free to pursue his other interests as he needed, as his new teachers believed that he would never amount to anything more than a common foot-soldier.

Tagayasu focused the majority of his efforts on learning the crafts of romance, as determined by such “reliable” sources as romcom movies and penny romance novels. He learned the art of needlessly flowery poetry, music performed by a rare instrument, and ‘spontaneous’ gestures of romance. The boy quickly became obsessed with these things and was a nuanced success with the girls in his academy classes. Tagayasu rarely failed to attract the object of his affections, but often found the targets of his romantic games to be boring or uninspired and cast them aside as soon as their childish version of a honey-moon stage ended. Indeed, he felt that for all the preaching girls did about romantic gestures, they were woefully inadequate at performing the gestures themselves. Even beyond his graduation, he was more focused on the pursuit of women and romance than proving himself an exceptional shinobi. Indeed, his progress stalled for several years and he did not advance beyond the status of Genin, even despite the urgings from his increasingly frustrated mother.

With time, Kumogakure’s influence was retracted from Yukigakure, and they were free to wallow in their poverty once again. This all made little difference to Tagayasu- until he realized that without Kumogakure’s superior infrastructure, he would not longer be able to enact such large gestures of romanticism, and most of the families in his village quickly moved away to “greener pastures”. It was this that finally snapped his priorities into place and, for a time, encouraged the lad to focus on his shinobi studies. He believed that if he became skilled enough, he could travel the world and seek the perfect girl at all of the world’s corners.

=== Chapter 3 | The Warmest Winter ===

Even despite his best efforts, the quality of training available in Yukigakure after the fall of the N.C.I.A was lackluster at best. Tagayasu had barely managed to be nominated for the position of Chunin at the time that relations between Iwagakure and Yukigakure broke down again in full. Though he had been loosely aware of their conflicts in the past, his abundant absence of skill had left him fairly untapped as a resource at Yukigakure’s disposal. He had no strong opinions about Iwagakure and would often attempt to shift the attention away from his prowess as a shinobi… girls left in the nation of Snow did not seem to prefer weak ninja.

As the war with Iwagakure had delayed his proper training, Tagayasu was made to serve as a pack mule for Yukigakure’s limited supplies; while he could not be trusted to fight, his body was strong enough to run resources and messages as was necessary to coordinate the defense against Iwagakure. For all of his best efforts, he received little recognition by his superiors and was never elevated to the position of Chunin proper.

When the war ended, he was far less upset by the final result than his contemporaries. To him, a relationship with Iwagakure meant that there were more women to be seen and that his ability to earn money would increase dramatically. Though he had missed the Chunin Exams in Kumogakure, Tagayasu was given a private ceremony in his own village and was finally elevated to a rank that he likely could have received some considerable time ago. Without much further complaint, he accepted a reassignment to Iwagakure to serve alongside their military, and moved quickly away from the ever disappointed scowl of his harsh mother.

Towakō could not stand to serve Iwagakure and retired as a shinobi; though she did not approve of Tagayasu’s antics or priorities, she conceded to him the blade that had originally lead to his conception… and the same wielded by his father. It was revealed to him that upon their flight from Kumo and Konohagakure, she had stolen his father’s blade and intended to never again depend upon “Destiny” to determine her fate, romantically or otherwise. Naturally, this resolve had eroded slowly over time by the poverty of her home nation, her son’s own apparent incompetence, and her village’s loss to Iwagakure. She hoped that with each blade in hand, Tagayasu might one day reach the levels of strength that she hoped he was capable of- to exceed both herself and her separated husband.

== Personality ==

Often described as a single-minded individual, Tagayasu is the sort of man who dedicates his entirety to the mastery of a craft when he sets out to do it; this penchant for perfectionism ranges from his curious choice in musical instrument to his romantic endeavors. Though he continually strives to achieve the pinnacle of his performance in a given field(assuming, of course, that he has deigned such a thing to be worthy of his efforts), this Hatake is not the sort of perfectionist that takes his failures personally. It is quite the opposite, in fact- he considered every stumble a worthwhile learning opportunity and only takes failure critically if there was not a lesson to be learned in it. He does not often like to compare himself to others in anything more than a teasing fashion, as he considers each person to learn and perform according to their own qualities, and he finds it nonsensical to be upset that a large man can lift more weight than a small one. Despite this, he takes a great deal of pride in the effort that he does put forth and often considers the result of his work to be well above average, even if that average is not directly associated with the performance of another.

When working with others, Tagayasu is met with mixed results. He’s not a generally disliked individual, but that is primarily due to the calmer nature of his personality when not actively working to make an impression on someone. That being said, the man’s priorities are often met with great scrutiny and can get in the way of more important missions- he would rather flirt that fight and will almost always opt for a nonviolent approach, even going so far as to attempt to convince opponents not to fight in the midst of their battle. He does enjoy combat only as far as treating it as a mental exercise-- a game like chess or go; if he does not feel challenged by an opponent, he may work to quickly bring the battle to a close… or even surrender and accept the “shame of defeat” if it allowed him to stop doing something he did not enjoy.

A pursuit of enjoyment or entertainment is a strong underlying characteristic of Tagayasu. He does not like to do things that are not fun or enriching, and similarly will blow off duties if they are not immediately fun or do not obviously lead to a more entertaining encounter. The pinnacle of his failures in this regard is his habit of placing women and romance above all other things-- to such an extent that he is exactly the type of individual that might be lured away from a post with some “innocuous” flirtation.

As a shinobi, Tagayasu only pushes himself hard enough to ensure missions that might fuel his hobbies. He accepts only as many missions are necessary to sustain his hobbies, and only rarely will accept ones outside of his normal scope of an “acceptable workload”- and those are primarily used to build up a bank account that might facilitate traveling the world.

Be it his wintry grey hair or his mellifluous eyes- Hatake Tagayasu is a man that stands out in a crowd. For anyone with any experience with other members of his clan, he appears much as one might expect; the man's hair makes up for its nearly colorless hue with unkempt character in spades, always spilling over the line of his headband with little concern for looking particularly respectable. Occasionally framed by his monochromatic strands is Tagayasu's countenance- a composite of Yuki no Kuni's high-but-slender cheekbones and the Hatake's narrow jaw line, punctuated with sharply shaped eyes and a relatively small nose.

His physique is toned as any shinobi's could be expected to be, though he shows no outward signs of deliberate bulking. Instead, his body aptly reflects the less severe nature of his preferred fighting style- focusing on agility over strength. Tagayasu's skin leans toward the pale spectrum, reflecting his homeland's northern location; though he has his share of knicks and scars from shinobi combat, most of these are covered by his shinobi garb. As many ninja are known to do, he tends to prefer the very same shinobi attire even when not immediately on a mission, though he can be seen without his flak jacket frequently enough.

<b>Aragane Shun</b> (鉱瞬, Shun Aragane) is a shinobi of Iwagakure no Sato. Though he was born to the neutral Aragane clan within the Country of Coal, he took on an interest to the shinobi arts early in his life and used every excuse to study them under the expensive private tutors afforded by his family’s economic position. When he found that the wandering shinobi teaching him were willfully neglecting his studies to extort more money from his parents, he left home to seek proper teachings from Iwagakure no Sato. He seeks now to expand his strength and circle of influence so as to acquire the world’s greatest treasures, with hopes of protecting them from misuse at the hands of the foolish or unworthy.

== Background ==
===Prologue; Lavish Beginnings===

::Aragane Shun was born into a prosperous life as the only child of an arranged marriage between Aragane Tsutomu [鉱勉] and Kurosawa Ameko [黒澤雨娘]. As a child of wealth, Shun was raised primarily by proxy and was homeschooled by the finest private tutors that money could buy. Around the age of six, the boy’s inherited kekkei genkai manifested and set him on a path to learning the shinobi arts. While his particular branch of the family was not known for their exceptional shinobi ability, his early training sessions with hired shinobi proved that the boy’s real talents lie within the utilization of the Ekikoton and Weapon-based combat. After his training with private tutors had reached a peak, the boy realized that he could learn no more from paid teachers and began to seek learning elsewhere. Within the country of Coal, he found its options incredibly limited, forcing him to turn to the only logical decision: Iwagakure no Sato.

::With a desire to ascend above the greatest of the Aragane legends, Shun set out for Iwagakure with hopes of training under those more knowledgeable than his own business-minded family or the rogue shinobi they had employed. Upon arrival within the Hidden Stone, he immediately enrolled himself within the academy and graduated shortly thereafter. He presently awaits assignment as a genin, ready to take the world in his hand- where it rightfully belongs.

===Part 1; A Piss-Poor Party===

::After graduating from Iwagakure’s Shinobi Academy, Shun was placed onto the remnants of Iwa Team 4- a genin cell that had mostly fallen apart in the aftermath of the Iwagakure-Yukigakure war, comprised now of [[Ippo Biju]], [[Tenshi Mujona]], Aragane Shun, and their Jonin Teacher, [[Kenta Ken’ichi]]. Despite being taught to work in a cohesive unit, Shun remained contemptful of his new allies and the Jonin that was to lead them. He found them too annoying as a group to be given any serious amount of respect and opted to spend most of his time mocking or even recklessly endangering them for his own amusement.

::Despite the initial tensions, their team pushed forward to investigate a sinkhole that had appeared suddenly on the outskirts of Iwagakure. After descending down the rather expansive hole, the team found that there was a cavern that served as a crude entry-way into an underground city or temple of some manner. Hoping to be the first to acquire any riches and rare artifacts beyond the entrance, Shun pushed forward and inadvertently triggered the ruin’s defense mechanism- a large unit of automated stone golems. Though Team 4 collectively put up a valiant fight against the stone men, they ultimately were forced to retreat deeper into the structure and seal the passage behind them, as the sheer number of stone-men was proving to be too numerous for the fresh genin to handle even alongside their teacher.

::Inside the structure, the team spotted a large chest that seemed to radiate with potential for rare artifacts. Desiring to snatch up the valuables before any of his team had the chance to dirty the treasure’s value with their unworthy hands, Shun raced forward and attempted to open the chest-- which again triggered a defense mechanism. Their Jonin, Ken’ichi, was able to race forward and throw Shun back in time… but found himself caught, upside-down, in a protectice force-field of some kind. Though it took a considerable amount of time, the Genin team was able to eventually discover the method by which the field functioned and successfully disabled it, allowing them to free Ken’ichi and inspect the contents of the chest. Ken’ichi scooped up three orbs from within before Shun could seize them and then lead the team safely out of the structure, successfully avoiding the golem trap as they did so.

== Personality ==
::It is not uncommon for Aragane Shun to be described as an unpleasant person. Though he is not directly antagonistic, he is an egotistical individual with a penchant for demeaning those that do not measure up to his self-placed standards. He is often seen as a boy with no filter and a knack for being overly blunt, even in some situations where it is not otherwise called for. Though he shows a measure of respect to those in positions greater than his own, Shun is the sort to be wary of any individual who has not immediately shown their ability to him personally. Through this, it can be seen that the boy is a natural skeptic; consequently, he has a talent and appreciation for the sciences more so than any sort of mysticism or legend.

::However harsh he may be, Shun has been misattributed as a particularly loyal individual. He tends to hold true to his promises, and enjoys seeing his close companions pleased; often, he will often spend large amounts of money on his friends as his way of showing affection, despite his otherwise frugal spending habits. The boy often rises to anger when one of his friends or family are injured or threatened, and will step in the way of most oncoming trials to prevent a friend from enduring an unnecessary hardship. These habits are often seen as an underlying “protective” nature, and such assumptions tend to only be partially correct. In actuality, Shun is an boy with a habit of viewing people as possessions. His friends are readily identified as his friends, and he frequently thinks of friends in a rather cold fashion- many of them will get internal rankings that vary based on their immediate usefulness or how pleasant Shun finds their company. Typically, these hidden “ranks” will determine how sharp the Aragane’s words tend to be, or just how large of a dinner he is willing to buy them.

::His sociopathic personality traits and tendency to act selfishly have led to Shun being very adept at accomplishing his own goals, often at the expense of others. He aspires to own the greatest collection of rare items, and indeed individuals, in the world. Driven by and filled with avarice, Shun has decided that the world already belongs to him- it just doesn’t know it yet.

== Appearance ==
::Aragane Shun stands in stark contrast to the majority of Aragane found within Iwagakure no Sato, with light skin, and lighter yet hair. Heiring from a wealthier branch of the clan within the country of Coal, Shun does not appear to have spent any significant amount of time around the forges from which the Aragane gain their fame. While his skin is lightly seared, giving some color to his base creme hue, the teen appears to have be tanned by leisure within the sun more than the heat of fire or sweltering labor. His physique is unblemished by callous or scar- it appears as though the boy has either seen little combat, or has an exceptional knack for not getting hurt; his frame is slender but well toned, as he has spent a great deal of time maintaining a functional and attractive form- it would not be hard to presume that he was an individual with some vanity.

::Shun’s countenance holds sharp, though not not necessarily slender features, that mark him as an easily memorable individual. His eyes shift from a pumpkin to coquelicot hue depending on the quality of available light, though they retain a critical and piercing stare, as though he is judging or even looking down upon most things that he sees. Framing these features is a top of somewhat messy blonde hair that can often be found hanging freely in his face. From either side of this assortment of strands can his ears be found protruding- both of which bear a looped earring hanging from both lobes.

::When outfitted for shinobi combat, Shun seems to prefer loose and flowing clothing that provides comfort and obscurity to his finer movements. He is often seen wearing a sash of rich color draped diagonally from waist to shoulder, and accompanies them with otherwise basic colors- such as white or khaki. The boy very much has an affinity for jewelry, as he is known to wear rings, bracelets, armlets, and necklaces of varying metals to accent the other coloration of his attire. Despite the penchant for carefully selected color schemes, he seems to prefer silver and platinum pieces for civilian attire, and gold in shinobi garb.

::The casual/everday attire of this Aragane youth tend to vary rather wildly. When relaxing within the confines of his own abode, or within the presence of a few trusted companions, Shun prefers loose fitting, unadorned, attire; though his tastes are greatly muted when expecting no sort of outing, he does still enjoy wearing any assortment of precious metal regalia. As a representative of a prominent branch within the Aragane clan, Shun often is found wearing expensive formal or semi-formal clothing when out and about; he seems to prefer variations on the classic western suit-and-tie dress-scheme.

== Trivia ==
::''General Knowledge; IC''
:* Shun is heir to the Aragane Trade Empire located within the Country of Coal. Despite this, he is still only second in the line of succession to inherit the Aragane Clan’s control. First being his own father, who is brother to the current head: Aragane Katsuo.
:* Though he has an exceptional mind for business and negotiation, Shun’s has little interest in actually inheriting his father’s businesses. When he does finally assume their mantle, he plans to use them simply as a source of financial stability while pursuing rare treasures around the world.
:* Similarly, Shun has absolutely no desire to assume control of the Aragane Clan even when his father passes. He has expressed this to the clan any time it comes up, and clearly indicates that he will likely foist the clan onto some less important individual if or when the time comes.
:* Shun is renown within his clan for his worldly appetites and does not suffer criticism of his chosen hobbies without severe retaliation.
:* Shun is loyal to Iwagakure no Sato only as long as they do not actively interfere with his quest for legendary artifacts. He sees his relationship with the village as largely symbiotic, as their military might affords him a measure of protection through association, and his clan affiliation offers the village perhaps the cheapest prices on the Aragane’s world-renowned arms.
:* Curiously, Shun possesses a strange Space/Time manipulation ability that allows him to store and draw items from an unknown space. This is not currently classified as proper Ninjutsu, nor does it seem to be a trait found within any other Aragane.

== Quotes ==

:* "''Stop trying to hit me and hit me!''"
:* "''If you were so desperate for a tool in your hand, I think I could have thought of something that would have been satisfactory for the both of us,''"
:* "''When currency is plenty and the troubles of the world are an ephemeral thing to a man, what else does he have but his word?''"

== OOC Trivia ==
::''Private Knowledge; OOC''
:* If Shun actively recognizes the value in a person, he has a difficult time committing himself to harming them in a meaningful way. Though short-lived, he believes that humans can be just as precious as their creations.
:* Despite the above, he believes most of humanity to be worthless and toxic, a blight upon the world.
:* Though he looks down on the financial status of the impoverished, Shun believes that poverty can bring out the greatest value and strength within a person. He is quicker to trust a desperate beggar than a legitimate businessman, though his trust his never given in full.
:* If given a mental evaluation, Shun would be diagnosed with Psychopathy- more specifically, Sociopathy.

::''The Meta; OOC''
:* Shun’s name was drawn from an early protagonist of a light novel: Shin Sekai Yori (From the New World).
:* Shun’s personality is drawn heavily from characters such as Gilgamesh(Fate/series), Greed(Fullmetal Alchemist), and Chrollo Lucilfer(Hunter x Hunter).
:* Many of Shun’s abilities are directly ports from Fate’s Gilgamesh character, specifically his Gate of Babylon- made on NA as “Armory of the Golden King”.
:* Though the author had some concerns of the character being too heavily inspired by Gilgamesh, Shun’s trueness to his inspiration has made him a surprisingly beloved character.

<b>Aragane Shuni</b> (鉱瞬, Shun Aragane) is a shinobi of Iwagakure no Sato. Though he was born to the neutral Aragane clan within the Country of Coal, he took on an interest to the shinobi arts early in his life and used every excuse to study them under the expensive private tutors afforded by his family’s economic position. When he found that the wandering shinobi teaching him were willfully neglecting his studies to extort more money from his parents, he left home to seek proper teachings from Iwagakure no Sato. He seeks now to expand his strength and circle of influence so as to acquire the world’s greatest treasures, with hopes of protecting them from misuse at the hands of the foolish or unworthy.

== Background ==
===Prologue; Lavish Beginnings===

::Aragane Shun was born into a prosperous life as the only child of an arranged marriage between Aragane Tsutomu [鉱勉] and Kurosawa Ameko [黒澤雨娘]. As a child of wealth, Shun was raised primarily by proxy and was homeschooled by the finest private tutors that money could buy. Around the age of six, the boy’s inherited kekkei genkai manifested and set him on a path to learning the shinobi arts. While his particular branch of the family was not known for their exceptional shinobi ability, his early training sessions with hired shinobi proved that the boy’s real talents lie within the utilization of the Ekikoton and Weapon-based combat. After his training with private tutors had reached a peak, the boy realized that he could learn no more from paid teachers and began to seek learning elsewhere. Within the country of Coal, he found its options incredibly limited, forcing him to turn to the only logical decision: Iwagakure no Sato.

::With a desire to ascend above the greatest of the Aragane legends, Shun set out for Iwagakure with hopes of training under those more knowledgeable than his own business-minded family or the rogue shinobi they had employed. Upon arrival within the Hidden Stone, he immediately enrolled himself within the academy and graduated shortly thereafter. He presently awaits assignment as a genin, ready to take the world in his hand- where it rightfully belongs.

===Part 1; A Piss-Poor Party===

::After graduating from Iwagakure’s Shinobi Academy, Shun was placed onto the remnants of Iwa Team 4- a genin cell that had mostly fallen apart in the aftermath of the Iwagakure-Yukigakure war, comprised now of [[Ippo Biju]], [[Tenshi Mujona]], Aragane Shun, and their Jonin Teacher, [[Kenta Ken’ichi]]. Despite being taught to work in a cohesive unit, Shun remained contemptful of his new allies and the Jonin that was to lead them. He found them too annoying as a group to be given any serious amount of respect and opted to spend most of his time mocking or even recklessly endangering them for his own amusement.

::Despite the initial tensions, their team pushed forward to investigate a sinkhole that had appeared suddenly on the outskirts of Iwagakure. After descending down the rather expansive hole, the team found that there was a cavern that served as a crude entry-way into an underground city or temple of some manner. Hoping to be the first to acquire any riches and rare artifacts beyond the entrance, Shun pushed forward and inadvertently triggered the ruin’s defense mechanism- a large unit of automated stone golems. Though Team 4 collectively put up a valiant fight against the stone men, they ultimately were forced to retreat deeper into the structure and seal the passage behind them, as the sheer number of stone-men was proving to be too numerous for the fresh genin to handle even alongside their teacher.

::Inside the structure, the team spotted a large chest that seemed to radiate with potential for rare artifacts. Desiring to snatch up the valuables before any of his team had the chance to dirty the treasure’s value with their unworthy hands, Shun raced forward and attempted to open the chest-- which again triggered a defense mechanism. Their Jonin, Ken’ichi, was able to race forward and throw Shun back in time… but found himself caught, upside-down, in a protectice force-field of some kind. Though it took a considerable amount of time, the Genin team was able to eventually discover the method by which the field functioned and successfully disabled it, allowing them to free Ken’ichi and inspect the contents of the chest. Ken’ichi scooped up three orbs from within before Shun could seize them and then lead the team safely out of the structure, successfully avoiding the golem trap as they did so.

== Personality ==
::It is not uncommon for Aragane Shun to be described as an unpleasant person. Though he is not directly antagonistic, he is an egotistical individual with a penchant for demeaning those that do not measure up to his self-placed standards. He is often seen as a boy with no filter and a knack for being overly blunt, even in some situations where it is not otherwise called for. Though he shows a measure of respect to those in positions greater than his own, Shun is the sort to be wary of any individual who has not immediately shown their ability to him personally. Through this, it can be seen that the boy is a natural skeptic; consequently, he has a talent and appreciation for the sciences more so than any sort of mysticism or legend.

::However harsh he may be, Shun has been misattributed as a particularly loyal individual. He tends to hold true to his promises, and enjoys seeing his close companions pleased; often, he will often spend large amounts of money on his friends as his way of showing affection, despite his otherwise frugal spending habits. The boy often rises to anger when one of his friends or family are injured or threatened, and will step in the way of most oncoming trials to prevent a friend from enduring an unnecessary hardship. These habits are often seen as an underlying “protective” nature, and such assumptions tend to only be partially correct. In actuality, Shun is an boy with a habit of viewing people as possessions. His friends are readily identified as his friends, and he frequently thinks of friends in a rather cold fashion- many of them will get internal rankings that vary based on their immediate usefulness or how pleasant Shun finds their company. Typically, these hidden “ranks” will determine how sharp the Aragane’s words tend to be, or just how large of a dinner he is willing to buy them.

::His sociopathic personality traits and tendency to act selfishly have led to Shun being very adept at accomplishing his own goals, often at the expense of others. He aspires to own the greatest collection of rare items, and indeed individuals, in the world. Driven by and filled with avarice, Shun has decided that the world already belongs to him- it just doesn’t know it yet.

== Appearance ==
::Aragane Shun stands in stark contrast to the majority of Aragane found within Iwagakure no Sato, with light skin, and lighter yet hair. Heiring from a wealthier branch of the clan within the country of Coal, Shun does not appear to have spent any significant amount of time around the forges from which the Aragane gain their fame. While his skin is lightly seared, giving some color to his base creme hue, the teen appears to have be tanned by leisure within the sun more than the heat of fire or sweltering labor. His physique is unblemished by callous or scar- it appears as though the boy has either seen little combat, or has an exceptional knack for not getting hurt; his frame is slender but well toned, as he has spent a great deal of time maintaining a functional and attractive form- it would not be hard to presume that he was an individual with some vanity.

::Shun’s countenance holds sharp, though not not necessarily slender features, that mark him as an easily memorable individual. His eyes shift from a pumpkin to coquelicot hue depending on the quality of available light, though they retain a critical and piercing stare, as though he is judging or even looking down upon most things that he sees. Framing these features is a top of somewhat messy blonde hair that can often be found hanging freely in his face. From either side of this assortment of strands can his ears be found protruding- both of which bear a looped earring hanging from both lobes.

::When outfitted for shinobi combat, Shun seems to prefer loose and flowing clothing that provides comfort and obscurity to his finer movements. He is often seen wearing a sash of rich color draped diagonally from waist to shoulder, and accompanies them with otherwise basic colors- such as white or khaki. The boy very much has an affinity for jewelry, as he is known to wear rings, bracelets, armlets, and necklaces of varying metals to accent the other coloration of his attire. Despite the penchant for carefully selected color schemes, he seems to prefer silver and platinum pieces for civilian attire, and gold in shinobi garb.

::The casual/everday attire of this Aragane youth tend to vary rather wildly. When relaxing within the confines of his own abode, or within the presence of a few trusted companions, Shun prefers loose fitting, unadorned, attire; though his tastes are greatly muted when expecting no sort of outing, he does still enjoy wearing any assortment of precious metal regalia. As a representative of a prominent branch within the Aragane clan, Shun often is found wearing expensive formal or semi-formal clothing when out and about; he seems to prefer variations on the classic western suit-and-tie dress-scheme.

== Trivia ==
::''General Knowledge; IC''
:* Shun is heir to the Aragane Trade Empire located within the Country of Coal. Despite this, he is still only second in the line of succession to inherit the Aragane Clan’s control. First being his own father, who is brother to the current head: Aragane Katsuo.
:* Though he has an exceptional mind for business and negotiation, Shun’s has little interest in actually inheriting his father’s businesses. When he does finally assume their mantle, he plans to use them simply as a source of financial stability while pursuing rare treasures around the world.
:* Similarly, Shun has absolutely no desire to assume control of the Aragane Clan even when his father passes. He has expressed this to the clan any time it comes up, and clearly indicates that he will likely foist the clan onto some less important individual if or when the time comes.
:* Shun is renown within his clan for his worldly appetites and does not suffer criticism of his chosen hobbies without severe retaliation.
:* Shun is loyal to Iwagakure no Sato only as long as they do not actively interfere with his quest for legendary artifacts. He sees his relationship with the village as largely symbiotic, as their military might affords him a measure of protection through association, and his clan affiliation offers the village perhaps the cheapest prices on the Aragane’s world-renowned arms.
:* Curiously, Shun possesses a strange Space/Time manipulation ability that allows him to store and draw items from an unknown space. This is not currently classified as proper Ninjutsu, nor does it seem to be a trait found within any other Aragane.

== Quotes ==

:* "''Stop trying to hit me and hit me!''"
:* "''If you were so desperate for a tool in your hand, I think I could have thought of something that would have been satisfactory for the both of us,''"
:* "''When currency is plenty and the troubles of the world are an ephemeral thing to a man, what else does he have but his word?''"

== OOC Trivia ==
::''Private Knowledge; OOC''
:* If Shun actively recognizes the value in a person, he has a difficult time committing himself to harming them in a meaningful way. Though short-lived, he believes that humans can be just as precious as their creations.
:* Despite the above, he believes most of humanity to be worthless and toxic, a blight upon the world.
:* Though he looks down on the financial status of the impoverished, Shun believes that poverty can bring out the greatest value and strength within a person. He is quicker to trust a desperate beggar than a legitimate businessman, though his trust his never given in full.
:* If given a mental evaluation, Shun would be diagnosed with Psychopathy- more specifically, Sociopathy.

::''The Meta; OOC''
:* Shun’s name was drawn from an early protagonist of a light novel: Shin Sekai Yori (From the New World).
:* Shun’s personality is drawn heavily from characters such as Gilgamesh(Fate/series), Greed(Fullmetal Alchemist), and Chrollo Lucilfer(Hunter x Hunter).
:* Many of Shun’s abilities are directly ports from Fate’s Gilgamesh character, specifically his Gate of Babylon- made on NA as “Armory of the Golden King”.
:* Though the author had some concerns of the character being too heavily inspired by Gilgamesh, Shun’s trueness to his inspiration has made him a surprisingly beloved character.

<b>Tokugawa Kotokiri</b> (徳川事切, Kotokiri Tokugawa) is a rōnin formerly of the Land of Iron belonging to the Tokugawa clan of Samurai. She is the firstborn of the former clan leader, Tokugawa Ieyasu, but was passed over for her half-brother, Tokugawa Hidetada, when Ieyasu was determining a heir. She is regarded as a genius swordswoman among her former peers in the Land of Iron, though her skills are unproven in the world at large. After her exile for exposing an assassination plot headed by her brother, Kotokiri became a sword for hire and now seeks money, power, and allies in order to reclaim the Tokugawa head's seat, as she believes that her cowardly half-brother will see the clan rot from within. It is her eventual hope to take control of the Land of Iron and force the rest of the modern Shinobi world to acknowledge the Samurai again as a force not to be trifled with.

== Background ==
===Prologue; Reaping Shadows===

::Tokugawa Kotokiri was a talented swordswoman born to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the leader of the Tokugawa clan, and Kazegari Kikyō, a former Priestess of Oni no Kuni. She was born in complication, with her umbilical cord being wrapped tightly around her neck- a fact undiscovered until after she had been born, resulting initially in her death. Shortly thereafter, Kikyō thrust a scalpel into her own throat, triggering the latent powers of her Future-Sight and sending her spirit back to warn her past self of the tragedy soon to happen. Freshly equipped with knowledge of the future and an infinite love of her child, Kikyō warned the doctors and commanded that they perform surgery to safely extract the then-unnamed Kotokiri before she could perish. Though the medical team present for the delivery was able to deliver Kotokiri without further complication to the infant herself, the surgery had an unexpected consequence of causing an embolism that resulted in Kikyō's own death; to the great sadness of her betrothed Ieyasu, her spirit was too weakened by its recent encounter with her future self to safely project again backward and save her own life. It was this miraculous birth that allowed Ieyasu to, in his grief, name Kotokiri thus-- spelled as one who would sever crisis and deliver a solution.

::Two years after Kotokiri's birth, Ieyasu wed again and sired a second child- a much desired son. Though Kotokiri was loved by Ieyasu, she was often passed over in affections for her brother, Tokugawa Hidetada. Perhaps in spite of this, she grew prosperously and came to be recognized as a genius child with great latent potential. Ever one to utilize every individual to their greatest perceived capacity, Ieyasu began a long and complex training regime for young Kotokiri; it was his intent to make her a living repository of the Tokugawa clan's formidable Kenjutsu, even if she did not immediately have the skill necessary to perform those feats. It was Ieyasu's intent to use Kotokiri as his academic legacy, one that could pass on his technique to both Hidetada and Hidetada's eventual children. Almost as if his death had been foretold, Ieyasu perished of illness before he was able to see Hidetada or Kotokiri full trained.

::Though they were noticeably close for half-siblings, Hidetada grew jealous toward Kotokiri over years of being shown up by her talent. Though he, as the male heir, was dictated to be the leader of the clan when he came of age, he was frightful that his sister would use her superior combat skill to challenge his claim to leadership. It was for this reason that upon the eve of his seventeenth birthday, Hidetada commanded a sect of loyal Tokugawa Samurai to slay Kotokiri. She was caught unawares while reading a training manuscript from the late Ieyasu and easily slain by the more experienced Samurai. However, it was that day that her mother's long dormant gift- the Gyōmatsugan awoke. Upon her death, her spirit was launched into again into the past, just days before her death. Warned of her impending demise, Kotokiri confronted Hidetada in court and accused him of conspiracy for murder. Scared of the possibility of his cowardice being exposed and having the clan ripped from his control, he decreed that she was levying false and slanderous accusations against him. With no ability to prove her assertion aside the seemingly impossible ability to "see through time", Kotokiri was found guilty of bearing falsehoods. Seeing this as a moment to politically cement his position, Hidetada pleaded with the clan elders to stay their blades and to instead exile her, that she could repent for her shame for the remainder of her days. They accepted his plea and carried out the sentence of exile the very next morning.

::Shortly after exile, Kotokiri was made aware of a similar case in Watanabe Izanagi, a young male of the larger Watanabe clan in the southern reaches of Tetsu no Kuni. She met with him in an attempt to join forces, but found that he had already committed himself to the ways of the shinobi and had grown disenfranchised with the way that the Samurai clans operated. Still, she became fast friends with the pleasant youth and learned of his sister, Watanabe Sasaki- a swordswoman whose personal skills put even Kotokiri to great shame. Admiring her for all of her ability, she pleaded with Izanagi to teach him what he knew of the girl's abilities- even the less "honorable" aspects found in her blended Genjutsu artistry. Equipped with this new and potent skill alongside her own Tokugawa kenjutsu, Kotokiri set out to find her place in the new world.

::As a wandering rōnin, Kotokiri has been forced to abandon some of the former rigidity of her more proper Samurai lifestyle in order to survive. She does this with the hopes that she one day might gather powerful allies and considerable currency to lead a rebellion against her cowardly brother, for she feels that his deceit and weakness would only lead the Tokugawa from greatness to poverty.

== Personality ==
::Tokugawa Kotokiri is a woman of quiet pride. She possesses boundless, sometimes reckless, confidence without feeling the need to vocalize her ego in the direction of would-be opponents. Even after exile from her clan, she continues to swell with a desire to return and exceed her father's expectations for her. From a young age, she was recognized as a prodigious swords-woman, and was thus included in many lessons that women would not have typically been included in- in addition to the standard training given to all women within the Samurai nations. She was treated as a repository for knowledge of Samurai techniques and it was her sole task to utilize her talent one day in teaching the children of the next clan leader who would, hopefully, grow to become the Shogun of Tetsu no Kuni. Despite the great honor of this position and the acknowledgement of her talent, this sat- and continues to sit- sourly upon Kotokiri's conscious mind. She believes that her talent should have been recognized without consideration for the social standing attached to her sex and that she was the most properly suited to be vetted as the next head of the Tokugawa clan. Nonetheless, she is a fiercely loyal individual who bowed her head and performed her duty to the greatest of her ability even when a less talented younger brother was born and declared to be the shining light of the Tokugawa. Now exiled from that clan, she continues to act in the world as an agent of the Tokugawa, ever striving to improve their standing at home and at large. This nearly zealous loyalty extends to the few that she would consider friends, even if they throw themselves into a path that she disagrees with-- such as the case of the fellow exile, Watanabe Izanagi; she continues a dear friendship with the younger rōnin even though he has committed himself to the cause of the Shinobi.

::When dealing with others, Kotokiri is a remarkably blunt woman. She is quick to state her opinion and even declare when she considers the actions of another to be excessive or asinine. She has a great appreciation for other such individuals, and she finds the nuances of social etiquette to be tired at best. Still, she indulges those around her for the most part and will not actively attempt to offend; if she does cross that intangible social line, she may quickly amend the meaning of her words, but rarely apologizes. Kotokiri believes in personal responsibility and accountability, and expects both herself and others to rise to claim full responsibility for her/their words and actions. The only time that one might catch her uttering an apology is when she feels true and unquestionable guilt about her action or its results.

::As she was raised in a traditional Samurai home, Kotokiri has a strong appreciation for poetry, with favor being shown to those with more structure. She believes that there are power in words, and a poem may describe a person's mind just as well as sparring with that individual. Similarly, she greatly enjoys reading fiction, particular war-fiction and tales of heroism. Though she dislikes the Shinobi for their inconsistent ways, her favorite novel is "The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi". Her love of the book extended to the author himself, and she in turn finds a guilty pleasure in the "Icha Icha" series of books published by the same author.

== Appearance ==
::The fledgling rōnin known by Tokugawa Kotokiri initially may be seen as a girl of average build and stature. With a taste for attire that rarely flatters her actual physique, it is oft hard for friend and opponent alike to determine how much strength lies within the rōnin's frame. When peeled away of the traditional trappings dictated by a short lifetime of regulation, Kotokiri's profession becomes clear. She possesses exceptional musculature, tone and pulled taut by daily exercise. Her northerly heritage has given her a pale and milky skin tone, allowing her body to serve as a perfect canvas for the myriad scars that litter her torso. Curiously, each of these blemishes that riddle her frame are shallow and appear to have been superficial injuries. If one to speculate on the nature of her lifestyle, they might conclude that she was either an embarrassingly clumsy warrior, or an incredibly lucky one.

::As for the girl's shape itself, she possess noticeable but slight curvature, with no apparent indication of growing any more buxom with time. Indeed, the girl's body could be seen as shaped more for her chosen profession than for any act of motherhood. Though supple and possessing pert facets and some desirable qualities, she makes no concerted effort to accentuate or call attention to these features. Kotokiri prefers traditional garb with some modifications allowed for movement in combat; when expecting to require substantial movement, she will abandon her hakama or unceremoniously cut a yukata short.

::Above the cut of her physique and the attire she chooses to hide it lies Kotokiri's typically placid countenance. She possesses a slender expression typical of many Samurai clans, but is graced with a touch of softness from the less harsh environs of her mother's heritage. Within large, rounded eyes, are twin hues of chalice silver that give birth to a transient, often ambiguous or even enigmatic gaze. Her stare is highly reflective and difficult to read, giving cause for her eyes to be commonly teased as "duplicitous". Though they do not commonly give way to emotion, Kotokiri's eyes can sharpen intensely when she becomes agitated or annoyed. Framing these metallic gems are strands of platinum blonde hair that hand no longer than her shoulders at their lowest point. While her bangs are left to hang often messily about her expression, Kotokiri does prefer to keep a majority of her hair pulled back into a ponytail or bun.

== Trivia ==
::''General Knowledge; IC''
:* Kotokiri possesses no desire to slay her half-brother, but does not mask her intent to do so if he refuses her upon her eventual return.
:* Though Kotokiri resents her father’s decision to use her as an academic tool rather than the rightful clan heir, she greatly honors and respects his memory.
:* After claiming the Tokugawa clan as her own, Kotokiri has planned an attempt at claiming Tokugawa dominance over the rest of the Samurai Clans of Tetsu no Kuni.
:* Though Kotokiri has no strong preference between men and women, she tends to be more harsh on male suitors as an unconscious backlash against some sexist policies within the Samurai. She has not realized the hypocrisy of this.
:* Despite loathing thievery on principle, Kotokiri has stolen her father's former blade, Ichimonji Sukezane, out of respect for Ieyasu's honor and fear that Hidetada would soil its reputation.

== Quotes ==

:* "''Hidetada! I have witnessed your scheme to steal my life, and it has failed! The law cannot abide such treachery!''"
:* "''Leaving friends is a true sadness… but a place is only a place.''"
:* "''My father advised me not to be trapped by the need to achieve anything, that I might in turn achieve everything. This philosophy was surely cathartic for a man with everything, but it is the way of us lesser creatures to squabble and hoard until we are afforded such luxuries.''"
:* "''There are legends of Priestesses in the Land of Demons with a power like mine, but it is said that they must convince another to die in their place. I think it is fortunate that I am brought back only to moments before my demise- in this way, I am allowed to deny fate with my own strength.''"

== OOC Trivia ==
::''Private Knowledge; OOC''
:* Kotokiri is a cousin to Kazegari Arisu. If she learned of the other’s existence, she would make it a top priority to seek the woman out and attempt to exchange knowledge about the nature of their bloodline.
:* Through Kotokiri’s love of Jiraiya’s works, she has inadvertently become a rather large pervert. Though she is easily able to disguise this in public, her personal collection of lecherous reading material grows almost daily. She is particularly fond of Yaoi Manga.
:* Kotokiri was taught the basics of Genjutsu from Watanabe Izanagi, but has rejected any and all offers to learn Ninjutsu from various sources. She believes that using your spiritual energy to engage in a battle of the mind and senses is not dishonorable, but that using your chakra to form unnatural constructs and other incredibly dangerous abilities is unethical. She would not be opposed to learning Ninjutsu from the correct teacher, but it would take a philosopher to convince her that it was not worthy of being labeled as a taboo.
:* Despite loathing most pacifists, Kotokiri has a great respect for the monks of Ninshu. She believes that such individuals are the only ones entitled to pacifism in this violent era- and that any others who wish not to fight should behave similarly by confining themselves within the mountains.

::''The Meta; OOC''
:* The Kanji used to spell Kotokiri’s name, 事切, is meant to be read as “Cutting through Crisis”, though it literally means “Thing Cutoff/Cutter”. When れる is added to the spelling of her name it becomes Kotokiriru, 事切れる, and is translated to mean “to die”. This is meant to be something of a pun, as she partially immortal through the Gyomatsugan and uses that ability to “Cut through” the “Crisis” that is her own death.
:* The author of Kotokiri was not aware until writing this article that the historical figure Tokugawa Ieyasu had already been utilized in-game as a minor character elsewhere. As Kotokiri’s father is already dead, and the Samurai were once more prevalent, it can be easily dismissed as a distant relative to the Tokugawa Samurai clan.
:* Kotokiri was originally intended to be a member of the Otsutsuki clan, but the author determined that a Samurai Otsutsuki sounded forced and somewhat implausible.
:* With the Gyomatsugan, Kotokiri has some other limited futuresight abilities. These will grow more potent over time, but her prophetic ability will always be limited by the simple fact that prescience sees many possibilities rather than any absolutes- and she can only rarely foresee something that does not directly pertain to her life.
:* The existence of the Gyomatsugan and its unique ability for a sort of Time Travel establishes the Ninja Academy universe canonically as a multiverse with many alternates.

<b>Tokugawa Kotokiri</b> (徳川事切, Kotokiri Tokugawa) is a rōnin formerly of the Land of Iron belonging to the Tokugawa clan of Samurai. She is the firstborn of the former clan leader, Tokugawa Ieyasu, but was passed over for her half-brother, Tokugawa Hidetada, when Ieyasu was determining a heir. She is regarded as a genius swordswoman among her former peers in the Land of Iron, though her skills are unproven in the world at large. After her exile for exposing an assassination plot headed by her brother, Kotokiri became a sword for hire and now seeks money, power, and allies in order to reclaim the Tokugawa head's seat, as she believes that her cowardly half-brother will see the clan rot from within. It is her eventual hope to take control of the Land of Iron and force the rest of the modern Shinobi world to acknowledge the Samurai again as a force not to be trifled with.

== Background ==
===Prologue; Reaping Shadows===

::Tokugawa Kotokiri was a talented swordswoman born to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the leader of the Tokugawa clan, and Kazegari Kikyō, a former Priestess of Oni no Kuni. She was born in complication, with her umbilical cord being wrapped tightly around her neck- a fact undiscovered until after she had been born, resulting initially in her death. Shortly thereafter, Kikyō thrust a scalpel into her own throat, triggering the latent powers of her Future-Sight and sending her spirit back to warn her past self of the tragedy soon to happen. Freshly equipped with knowledge of the future and an infinite love of her child, Kikyō warned the doctors and commanded that they perform surgery to safely extract the then-unnamed Kotokiri before she could perish. Though the medical team present for the delivery was able to deliver Kotokiri without further complication to the infant herself, the surgery had an unexpected consequence of causing an embolism that resulted in Kikyō's own death; to the great sadness of her betrothed Ieyasu, her spirit was too weakened by its recent encounter with her future self to safely project again backward and save her own life. It was this miraculous birth that allowed Ieyasu to, in his grief, name Kotokiri thus-- spelled as one who would sever crisis and deliver a solution.

::Two years after Kotokiri's birth, Ieyasu wed again and sired a second child- a much desired son. Though Kotokiri was loved by Ieyasu, she was often passed over in affections for her brother, Tokugawa Hidetada. Perhaps in spite of this, she grew prosperously and came to be recognized as a genius child with great latent potential. Ever one to utilize every individual to their greatest perceived capacity, Ieyasu began a long and complex training regime for young Kotokiri; it was his intent to make her a living repository of the Tokugawa clan's formidable Kenjutsu, even if she did not immediately have the skill necessary to perform those feats. It was Ieyasu's intent to use Kotokiri as his academic legacy, one that could pass on his technique to both Hidetada and Hidetada's eventual children. Almost as if his death had been foretold, Ieyasu perished of illness before he was able to see Hidetada or Kotokiri full trained.

::Though they were noticeably close for half-siblings, Hidetada grew jealous toward Kotokiri over years of being shown up by her talent. Though he, as the male heir, was dictated to be the leader of the clan when he came of age, he was frightful that his sister would use her superior combat skill to challenge his claim to leadership. It was for this reason that upon the eve of his seventeenth birthday, Hidetada commanded a sect of loyal Tokugawa Samurai to slay Kotokiri. She was caught unawares while reading a training manuscript from the late Ieyasu and easily slain by the more experienced Samurai. However, it was that day that her mother's long dormant gift- the Gyōmatsugan awoke. Upon her death, her spirit was launched into again into the past, just days before her death. Warned of her impending demise, Kotokiri confronted Hidetada in court and accused him of conspiracy for murder. Scared of the possibility of his cowardice being exposed and having the clan ripped from his control, he decreed that she was levying false and slanderous accusations against him. With no ability to prove her assertion aside the seemingly impossible ability to "see through time", Kotokiri was found guilty of bearing falsehoods. Seeing this as a moment to politically cement his position, Hidetada pleaded with the clan elders to stay their blades and to instead exile her, that she could repent for her shame for the remainder of her days. They accepted his plea and carried out the sentence of exile the very next morning.

::Shortly after exile, Kotokiri was made aware of a similar case in Watanabe Izanagi, a young male of the larger Watanabe clan in the southern reaches of Tetsu no Kuni. She met with him in an attempt to join forces, but found that he had already committed himself to the ways of the shinobi and had grown disenfranchised with the way that the Samurai clans operated. Still, she became fast friends with the pleasant youth and learned of his sister, Watanabe Sasaki- a swordswoman whose personal skills put even Kotokiri to great shame. Admiring her for all of her ability, she pleaded with Izanagi to teach him what he knew of the girl's abilities- even the less "honorable" aspects found in her blended Genjutsu artistry. Equipped with this new and potent skill alongside her own Tokugawa kenjutsu, Kotokiri set out to find her place in the new world.

::As a wandering rōnin, Kotokiri has been forced to abandon some of the former rigidity of her more proper Samurai lifestyle in order to survive. She does this with the hopes that she one day might gather powerful allies and considerable currency to lead a rebellion against her cowardly brother, for she feels that his deceit and weakness would only lead the Tokugawa from greatness to poverty.

== Personality ==
::Tokugawa Kotokiri is a woman of quiet pride. She possesses boundless, sometimes reckless, confidence without feeling the need to vocalize her ego in the direction of would-be opponents. Even after exile from her clan, she continues to swell with a desire to return and exceed her father's expectations for her. From a young age, she was recognized as a prodigious swords-woman, and was thus included in many lessons that women would not have typically been included in- in addition to the standard training given to all women within the Samurai nations. She was treated as a repository for knowledge of Samurai techniques and it was her sole task to utilize her talent one day in teaching the children of the next clan leader who would, hopefully, grow to become the Shogun of Tetsu no Kuni. Despite the great honor of this position and the acknowledgement of her talent, this sat- and continues to sit- sourly upon Kotokiri's conscious mind. She believes that her talent should have been recognized without consideration for the social standing attached to her sex and that she was the most properly suited to be vetted as the next head of the Tokugawa clan. Nonetheless, she is a fiercely loyal individual who bowed her head and performed her duty to the greatest of her ability even when a less talented younger brother was born and declared to be the shining light of the Tokugawa. Now exiled from that clan, she continues to act in the world as an agent of the Tokugawa, ever striving to improve their standing at home and at large. This nearly zealous loyalty extends to the few that she would consider friends, even if they throw themselves into a path that she disagrees with-- such as the case of the fellow exile, Watanabe Izanagi; she continues a dear friendship with the younger rōnin even though he has committed himself to the cause of the Shinobi.

::When dealing with others, Kotokiri is a remarkably blunt woman. She is quick to state her opinion and even declare when she considers the actions of another to be excessive or asinine. She has a great appreciation for other such individuals, and she finds the nuances of social etiquette to be tired at best. Still, she indulges those around her for the most part and will not actively attempt to offend; if she does cross that intangible social line, she may quickly amend the meaning of her words, but rarely apologizes. Kotokiri believes in personal responsibility and accountability, and expects both herself and others to rise to claim full responsibility for her/their words and actions. The only time that one might catch her uttering an apology is when she feels true and unquestionable guilt about her action or its results.

::As she was raised in a traditional Samurai home, Kotokiri has a strong appreciation for poetry, with favor being shown to those with more structure. She believes that there are power in words, and a poem may describe a person's mind just as well as sparring with that individual. Similarly, she greatly enjoys reading fiction, particular war-fiction and tales of heroism. Though she dislikes the Shinobi for their inconsistent ways, her favorite novel is "The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi". Her love of the book extended to the author himself, and she in turn finds a guilty pleasure in the "Icha Icha" series of books published by the same author.

== Appearance ==
::The fledgling rōnin known by Tokugawa Kotokiri initially may be seen as a girl of average build and stature. With a taste for attire that rarely flatters her actual physique, it is oft hard for friend and opponent alike to determine how much strength lies within the rōnin's frame. When peeled away of the traditional trappings dictated by a short lifetime of regulation, Kotokiri's profession becomes clear. She possesses exceptional musculature, tone and pulled taut by daily exercise. Her northerly heritage has given her a pale and milky skin tone, allowing her body to serve as a perfect canvas for the myriad scars that litter her torso. Curiously, each of these blemishes that riddle her frame are shallow and appear to have been superficial injuries. If one to speculate on the nature of her lifestyle, they might conclude that she was either an embarrassingly clumsy warrior, or an incredibly lucky one.

::As for the girl's shape itself, she possess noticeable but slight curvature, with no apparent indication of growing any more buxom with time. Indeed, the girl's body could be seen as shaped more for her chosen profession than for any act of motherhood. Though supple and possessing pert facets and some desirable qualities, she makes no concerted effort to accentuate or call attention to these features. Kotokiri prefers traditional garb with some modifications allowed for movement in combat; when expecting to require substantial movement, she will abandon her hakama or unceremoniously cut a yukata short.

::Above the cut of her physique and the attire she chooses to hide it lies Kotokiri's typically placid countenance. She possesses a slender expression typical of many Samurai clans, but is graced with a touch of softness from the less harsh environs of her mother's heritage. Within large, rounded eyes, are twin hues of chalice silver that give birth to a transient, often ambiguous or even enigmatic gaze. Her stare is highly reflective and difficult to read, giving cause for her eyes to be commonly teased as "duplicitous". Though they do not commonly give way to emotion, Kotokiri's eyes can sharpen intensely when she becomes agitated or annoyed. Framing these metallic gems are strands of platinum blonde hair that hand no longer than her shoulders at their lowest point. While her bangs are left to hang often messily about her expression, Kotokiri does prefer to keep a majority of her hair pulled back into a ponytail or bun.

== Trivia ==
::''General Knowledge; IC''
:* Kotokiri possesses no desire to slay her half-brother, but does not mask her intent to do so if he refuses her upon her eventual return.
:* Though Kotokiri resents her father’s decision to use her as an academic tool rather than the rightful clan heir, she greatly honors and respects his memory.
:* After claiming the Tokugawa clan as her own, Kotokiri has planned an attempt at claiming Tokugawa dominance over the rest of the Samurai Clans of Tetsu no Kuni.
:* Kotokiri has heard whispers of another “Tokugawa” family existing within Tsuchi no Kuni, and indeed has heard references to an “Ieyasu”, but is skeptical of any relation to her own father given her presence at his death-bed. Still, she is highly curious and hopes to visit this supposed man at some point.
:* Though Kotokiri has no strong preference between men and women, she tends to be more harsh on male suitors as an unconscious backlash against some sexist policies within the Samurai. She has not realized the hypocrisy of this.
:* Despite loathing thievery on principle, Kotokiri has stolen her father's former blade, Ichimonji Sukezane, out of respect for Ieyasu's honor and fear that Hidetada would soil its reputation.

== Quotes ==

:* "''Hidetada! I have witnessed your scheme to steal my life, and it has failed! The law cannot abide such treachery!''"
:* "''Leaving friends is a true sadness… but a place is only a place.''"
:* "''My father advised me not to be trapped by the need to achieve anything, that I might in turn achieve everything. This philosophy was surely cathartic for a man with everything, but it is the way of us lesser creatures to squabble and hoard until we are afforded such luxuries.''"
:* "''There are legends of Priestesses in the Land of Demons with a power like mine, but it is said that they must convince another to die in their place. I think it is fortunate that I am brought back only to moments before my demise- in this way, I am allowed to deny fate with my own strength.''"

== OOC Trivia ==
::''Private Knowledge; OOC''
:* Kotokiri is a cousin to Kazegari Arisu. If she learned of the other’s existence, she would make it a top priority to seek the woman out and attempt to exchange knowledge about the nature of their bloodline.
:* Through Kotokiri’s love of Jiraiya’s works, she has inadvertently become a rather large pervert. Though she is easily able to disguise this in public, her personal collection of lecherous reading material grows almost daily. She is particularly fond of Yaoi Manga.
:* Kotokiri was taught the basics of Genjutsu from Watanabe Izanagi, but has rejected any and all offers to learn Ninjutsu from various sources. She believes that using your spiritual energy to engage in a battle of the mind and senses is not dishonorable, but that using your chakra to form unnatural constructs and other incredibly dangerous abilities is unethical. She would not be opposed to learning Ninjutsu from the correct teacher, but it would take a philosopher to convince her that it was not worthy of being labeled as a taboo.
:* Despite loathing most pacifists, Kotokiri has a great respect for the monks of Ninshu. She believes that such individuals are the only ones entitled to pacifism in this violent era- and that any others who wish not to fight should behave similarly by confining themselves within the mountains.

::''The Meta; OOC''
:* The Kanji used to spell Kotokiri’s name, 事切, is meant to be read as “Cutting through Crisis”, though it literally means “Thing Cutoff/Cutter”. When れる is added to the spelling of her name it becomes Kotokiriru, 事切れる, and is translated to mean “to die”. This is meant to be something of a pun, as she partially immortal through the Gyomatsugan and uses that ability to “Cut through” the “Crisis” that is her own death.
:* The author of Kotokiri was not aware until writing this article that the historical figure Tokugawa Ieyasu had already been utilized in-game as a minor character elsewhere. As Kotokiri’s father is already dead, and the Samurai were once more prevalent, it can be easily dismissed as a distant relative to the Tokugawa Samurai clan.
:* Kotokiri was originally intended to be a member of the Otsutsuki clan, but the author determined that a Samurai Otsutsuki sounded forced and somewhat implausible.
:* With the Gyomatsugan, Kotokiri has some other limited futuresight abilities. These will grow more potent over time, but her prophetic ability will always be limited by the simple fact that prescience sees many possibilities rather than any absolutes- and she can only rarely foresee something that does not directly pertain to her life.
:* The existence of the Gyomatsugan and its unique ability for a sort of Time Travel establishes the Ninja Academy universe canonically as a multiverse with many alternates.

<b>Tokugawa Kotokiri</b> (徳川事切, Kotokiri Tokugawa) is a rōnin formerly of the Land of Iron belonging to the Tokugawa clan of Samurai. She is the firstborn of the former clan leader, Tokugawa Ieyasu, but was passed over for her half-brother, Tokugawa Hidetada, when Ieyasu was determining a heir. She is regarded as a genius swordswoman among her former peers in the Land of Iron, though her skills are unproven in the world at large. After her exile for exposing an assassination plot headed by her brother, Kotokiri became a sword for hire and now seeks money, power, and allies in order to reclaim the Tokugawa head's seat, as she believes that her cowardly half-brother will see the clan rot from within. It is her eventual hope to take control of the Land of Iron and force the rest of the modern Shinobi world to acknowledge the Samurai again as a force not to be trifled with.

== Background ==
===Prologue; Reaping Shadows===

::Tokugawa Kotokiri was a talented swordswoman born to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the leader of the Tokugawa clan, and Kazegari Kikyō, a former Priestess of Oni no Kuni. She was born in complication, with her umbilical cord being wrapped tightly around her neck- a fact undiscovered until after she had been born, resulting initially in her death. Shortly thereafter, Kikyō thrust a scalpel into her own throat, triggering the latent powers of her Future-Sight and sending her spirit back to warn her past self of the tragedy soon to happen. Freshly equipped with knowledge of the future and an infinite love of her child, Kikyō warned the doctors and commanded that they perform surgery to safely extract the then-unnamed Kotokiri before she could perish. Though the medical team present for the delivery was able to deliver Kotokiri without further complication to the infant herself, the surgery had an unexpected consequence of causing an embolism that resulted in Kikyō's own death; to the great sadness of her betrothed Ieyasu, her spirit was too weakened by its recent encounter with her future self to safely project again backward and save her own life. It was this miraculous birth that allowed Ieyasu to, in his grief, name Kotokiri thus-- spelled as one who would sever crisis and deliver a solution.

::Two years after Kotokiri's birth, Ieyasu wed again and sired a second child- a much desired son. Though Kotokiri was loved by Ieyasu, she was often passed over in affections for her brother, Tokugawa Hidetada. Perhaps in spite of this, she grew prosperously and came to be recognized as a genius child with great latent potential. Ever one to utilize every individual to their greatest perceived capacity, Ieyasu began a long and complex training regime for young Kotokiri; it was his intent to make her a living repository of the Tokugawa clan's formidable Kenjutsu, even if she did not immediately have the skill necessary to perform those feats. It was Ieyasu's intent to use Kotokiri as his academic legacy, one that could pass on his technique to both Hidetada and Hidetada's eventual children. Almost as if his death had been foretold, Ieyasu perished of illness before he was able to see Hidetada or Kotokiri full trained.

::Though they were noticeably close for half-siblings, Hidetada grew jealous toward Kotokiri over years of being shown up by her talent. Though he, as the male heir, was dictated to be the leader of the clan when he came of age, he was frightful that his sister would use her superior combat skill to challenge his claim to leadership. It was for this reason that upon the eve of his seventeenth birthday, Hidetada commanded a sect of loyal Tokugawa Samurai to slay Kotokiri. She was caught unawares while reading a training manuscript from the late Ieyasu and easily slain by the more experienced Samurai. However, it was that day that her mother's long dormant gift- the Gyōmatsugan awoke. Upon her death, her spirit was launched into again into the past, just days before her death. Warned of her impending demise, Kotokiri confronted Hidetada in court and accused him of conspiracy for murder. Scared of the possibility of his cowardice being exposed and having the clan ripped from his control, he decreed that she was levying false and slanderous accusations against him. With no ability to prove her assertion aside the seemingly impossible ability to "see through time", Kotokiri was found guilty of bearing falsehoods. Seeing this as a moment to politically cement his position, Hidetada pleaded with the clan elders to stay their blades and to instead exile her, that she could repent for her shame for the remainder of her days. They accepted his plea and carried out the sentence of exile the very next morning.

::Shortly after exile, Kotokiri was made aware of a similar case in Watanabe Izanagi, a young male of the larger Watanabe clan in the southern reaches of Tetsu no Kuni. She met with him in an attempt to join forces, but found that he had already committed himself to the ways of the shinobi and had grown disenfranchised with the way that the Samurai clans operated. Still, she became fast friends with the pleasant youth and learned of his sister, Watanabe Sasaki- a swordswoman whose personal skills put even Kotokiri to great shame. Admiring her for all of her ability, she pleaded with Izanagi to teach him what he knew of the girl's abilities- even the less "honorable" aspects found in her blended Genjutsu artistry. Equipped with this new and potent skill alongside her own Tokugawa kenjutsu, Kotokiri set out to find her place in the new world.

::As a wandering rōnin, Kotokiri has been forced to abandon some of the former rigidity of her more proper Samurai lifestyle in order to survive. She does this with the hopes that she one day might gather powerful allies and considerable currency to lead a rebellion against her cowardly brother, for she feels that his deceit and weakness would only lead the Tokugawa from greatness to poverty.

== Personality ==
::Tokugawa Kotokiri is a woman of quiet pride. She possesses boundless, sometimes reckless, confidence without feeling the need to vocalize her ego in the direction of would-be opponents. Even after exile from her clan, she continues to swell with a desire to return and exceed her father's expectations for her. From a young age, she was recognized as a prodigious swords-woman, and was thus included in many lessons that women would not have typically been included in- in addition to the standard training given to all women within the Samurai nations. She was treated as a repository for knowledge of Samurai techniques and it was her sole task to utilize her talent one day in teaching the children of the next clan leader who would, hopefully, grow to become the Shogun of Tetsu no Kuni. Despite the great honor of this position and the acknowledgement of her talent, this sat- and continues to sit- sourly upon Kotokiri's conscious mind. She believes that her talent should have been recognized without consideration for the social standing attached to her sex and that she was the most properly suited to be vetted as the next head of the Tokugawa clan. Nonetheless, she is a fiercely loyal individual who bowed her head and performed her duty to the greatest of her ability even when a less talented younger brother was born and declared to be the shining light of the Tokugawa. Now exiled from that clan, she continues to act in the world as an agent of the Tokugawa, ever striving to improve their standing at home and at large. This nearly zealous loyalty extends to the few that she would consider friends, even if they throw themselves into a path that she disagrees with-- such as the case of the fellow exile, Watanabe Izanagi; she continues a dear friendship with the younger rōnin even though he has committed himself to the cause of the Shinobi.

::When dealing with others, Kotokiri is a remarkably blunt woman. She is quick to state her opinion and even declare when she considers the actions of another to be excessive or asinine. She has a great appreciation for other such individuals, and she finds the nuances of social etiquette to be tired at best. Still, she indulges those around her for the most part and will not actively attempt to offend; if she does cross that intangible social line, she may quickly amend the meaning of her words, but rarely apologizes. Kotokiri believes in personal responsibility and accountability, and expects both herself and others to rise to claim full responsibility for her/their words and actions. The only time that one might catch her uttering an apology is when she feels true and unquestionable guilt about her action or its results.

::As she was raised in a traditional Samurai home, Kotokiri has a strong appreciation for poetry, with favor being shown to those with more structure. She believes that there are power in words, and a poem may describe a person's mind just as well as sparring with that individual. Similarly, she greatly enjoys reading fiction, particular war-fiction and tales of heroism. Though she dislikes the Shinobi for their inconsistent ways, her favorite novel is "The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi". Her love of the book extended to the author himself, and she in turn finds a guilty pleasure in the "Icha Icha" series of books published by the same author.

== Appearance ==
::The fledgling rōnin known by Tokugawa Kotokiri initially may be seen as a girl of average build and stature. With a taste for attire that rarely flatters her actual physique, it is oft hard for friend and opponent alike to determine how much strength lies within the rōnin's frame. When peeled away of the traditional trappings dictated by a short lifetime of regulation, Kotokiri's profession becomes clear. She possesses exceptional musculature, tone and pulled taut by daily exercise. Her northerly heritage has given her a pale and milky skin tone, allowing her body to serve as a perfect canvas for the myriad scars that litter her torso. Curiously, each of these blemishes that riddle her frame are shallow and appear to have been superficial injuries. If one to speculate on the nature of her lifestyle, they might conclude that she was either an embarrassingly clumsy warrior, or an incredibly lucky one.

::As for the girl's shape itself, she possess noticeable but slight curvature, with no apparent indication of growing any more buxom with time. Indeed, the girl's body could be seen as shaped more for her chosen profession than for any act of motherhood. Though supple and possessing pert facets and some desirable qualities, she makes no concerted effort to accentuate or call attention to these features. Kotokiri prefers traditional garb with some modifications allowed for movement in combat; when expecting to require substantial movement, she will abandon her hakama or unceremoniously cut a yukata short.

::Above the cut of her physique and the attire she chooses to hide it lies Kotokiri's typically placid countenance. She possesses a slender expression typical of many Samurai clans, but is graced with a touch of softness from the less harsh environs of her mother's heritage. Within large, rounded eyes, are twin hues of chalice silver that give birth to a transient, often ambiguous or even enigmatic gaze. Her stare is highly reflective and difficult to read, giving cause for her eyes to be commonly teased as "duplicitous". Though they do not commonly give way to emotion, Kotokiri's eyes can sharpen intensely when she becomes agitated or annoyed. Framing these metallic gems are strands of platinum blonde hair that hand no longer than her shoulders at their lowest point. While her bangs are left to hang often messily about her expression, Kotokiri does prefer to keep a majority of her hair pulled back into a ponytail or bun.

== Trivia ==
::''General Knowledge; IC''
:* Kotokiri possesses no desire to slay her half-brother, but does not mask her intent to do so if he refuses her upon her eventual return.
:* Though Kotokiri resents her father’s decision to use her as an academic tool rather than the rightful clan heir, she greatly honors and respects his memory.
:* After claiming the Tokugawa clan as her own, Kotokiri has planned an attempt at claiming Tokugawa dominance over the rest of the Samurai Clans of Tetsu no Kuni.
:* Kotokiri has heard whispers of another “Tokugawa” family existing within Tsuchi no Kuni, and indeed has heard references to an “Ieyasu”, but is skeptical of any relation to her own father given her presence at his death-bed. Still, she is highly curious and hopes to visit this supposed man at some point.
:* Though Kotokiri has no strong preference between men and women, she tends to be more harsh on male suitors as an unconscious backlash against some sexist policies within the Samurai. She has not realized the hypocrisy of this.

== Quotes ==

:* "''Hidetada! I have witnessed your scheme to steal my life, and it has failed! The law cannot abide such treachery!''"
:* "''Leaving friends is a true sadness… but a place is only a place.''"
:* "''My father advised me not to be trapped by the need to achieve anything, that I might in turn achieve everything. This philosophy was surely cathartic for a man with everything, but it is the way of us lesser creatures to squabble and hoard until we are afforded such luxuries.''"
:* "''There are legends of Priestesses in the Land of Demons with a power like mine, but it is said that they must convince another to die in their place. I think it is fortunate that I am brought back only to moments before my demise- in this way, I am allowed to deny fate with my own strength.''"

== OOC Trivia ==
::''Private Knowledge; OOC''
:* Kotokiri is a cousin to Kazegari Arisu. If she learned of the other’s existence, she would make it a top priority to seek the woman out and attempt to exchange knowledge about the nature of their bloodline.
:* Through Kotokiri’s love of Jiraiya’s works, she has inadvertently become a rather large pervert. Though she is easily able to disguise this in public, her personal collection of lecherous reading material grows almost daily. She is particularly fond of Yaoi Manga.
:* Kotokiri was taught the basics of Genjutsu from Watanabe Izanagi, but has rejected any and all offers to learn Ninjutsu from various sources. She believes that using your spiritual energy to engage in a battle of the mind and senses is not dishonorable, but that using your chakra to form unnatural constructs and other incredibly dangerous abilities is unethical. She would not be opposed to learning Ninjutsu from the correct teacher, but it would take a philosopher to convince her that it was not worthy of being labeled as a taboo.
:* Despite loathing most pacifists, Kotokiri has a great respect for the monks of Ninshu. She believes that such individuals are the only ones entitled to pacifism in this violent era- and that any others who wish not to fight should behave similarly by confining themselves within the mountains.

::''The Meta; OOC''
:* The Kanji used to spell Kotokiri’s name, 事切, is meant to be read as “Cutting through Crisis”, though it literally means “Thing Cutoff/Cutter”. When れる is added to the spelling of her name it becomes Kotokiriru, 事切れる, and is translated to mean “to die”. This is meant to be something of a pun, as she partially immortal through the Gyomatsugan and uses that ability to “Cut through” the “Crisis” that is her own death.
:* The author of Kotokiri was not aware until writing this article that the historical figure Tokugawa Ieyasu had already been utilized in-game as a minor character elsewhere. As Kotokiri’s father is already dead, and the Samurai were once more prevalent, it can be easily dismissed as a distant relative to the Tokugawa Samurai clan.
:* Kotokiri was originally intended to be a member of the Otsutsuki clan, but the author determined that a Samurai Otsutsuki sounded forced and somewhat implausible.
:* With the Gyomatsugan, Kotokiri has some other limited futuresight abilities. These will grow more potent over time, but her prophetic ability will always be limited by the simple fact that prescience sees many possibilities rather than any absolutes- and she can only rarely foresee something that does not directly pertain to her life.
:* The existence of the Gyomatsugan and its unique ability for a sort of Time Travel establishes the Ninja Academy universe canonically as a multiverse with many alternates.

<b>Hyūga Mizumono</b> (日向水物, Mizumono Hyūga) is a Genin of Konohagakure no Sato. She once suffered from extreme Dissassociative Identity Disorder and was subject to a highly experimental treatment that resulted in the reduction of her physical age and consequently the removal of her memory. Before her treatment, she was a potent Jōnin of Konohagakure, a member of the ANBU, and War Hero. In her prime, Mizumono was both incredibly powerful and incredibly volatile; if she was caught during a psychotic episode, it was very likely that anyone nearby would perish. She is most well known for single-handedly pushing the remaining NCIA forces out of Konohagakure(while [[Hyuuga Yatako]] liberated the Country of Fire as a whole) and for her deadly participation in the battle at [[Kinomi no Toshi]].

== Background ==
===Prologue; Reaping Shadows===

::Tokugawa Kotokiri was a talented swordswoman born to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the leader of the Tokugawa clan, and Kazegari Kikyō, a former Priestess of Oni no Kuni. She was born in complication, with her umbilical cord being wrapped tightly around her neck- a fact undiscovered until after she had been born, resulting initially in her death. Shortly thereafter, Kikyō thrust a scalpel into her own throat, triggering the latent powers of her Future-Sight and sending her spirit back to warn her past self of the tragedy soon to happen. Freshly equipped with knowledge of the future and an infinite love of her child, Kikyō warned the doctors and commanded that they perform surgery to safely extract the then-unnamed Kotokiri before she could perish. Though the medical team present for the delivery was able to deliver Kotokiri without further complication to the infant herself, the surgery had an unexpected consequence of causing an embolism that resulted in Kikyō's own death; to the great sadness of her betrothed Ieyasu, her spirit was too weakened by its recent encounter with her future self to safely project again backward and save her own life. It was this miraculous birth that allowed Ieyasu to, in his grief, name Kotokiri thus-- spelled as one who would sever crisis and deliver a solution.

::Two years after Kotokiri's birth, Ieyasu wed again and sired a second child- a much desired son. Though Kotokiri was loved by Ieyasu, she was often passed over in affections for her brother, Tokugawa Hidetada. Perhaps in spite of this, she grew prosperously and came to be recognized as a genius child with great latent potential. Ever one to utilize every individual to their greatest perceived capacity, Ieyasu began a long and complex training regime for young Kotokiri; it was his intent to make her a living repository of the Tokugawa clan's formidable Kenjutsu, even if she did not immediately have the skill necessary to perform those feats. It was Ieyasu's intent to use Kotokiri as his academic legacy, one that could pass on his technique to both Hidetada and Hidetada's eventual children. Almost as if his death had been foretold, Ieyasu perished of illness before he was able to see Hidetada or Kotokiri full trained.

::Though they were noticeably close for half-siblings, Hidetada grew jealous toward Kotokiri over years of being shown up by her talent. Though he, as the male heir, was dictated to be the leader of the clan when he came of age, he was frightful that his sister would use her superior combat skill to challenge his claim to leadership. It was for this reason that upon the eve of his seventeenth birthday, Hidetada commanded a sect of loyal Tokugawa Samurai to slay Kotokiri. She was caught unawares while reading a training manuscript from the late Ieyasu and easily slain by the more experienced Samurai. However, it was that day that her mother's long dormant gift- the Gyōmatsugan awoke. Upon her death, her spirit was launched into again into the past, just days before her death. Warned of her impending demise, Kotokiri confronted Hidetada in court and accused him of conspiracy for murder. Scared of the possibility of his cowardice being exposed and having the clan ripped from his control, he decreed that she was levying false and slanderous accusations against him. With no ability to prove her assertion aside the seemingly impossible ability to "see through time", Kotokiri was found guilty of bearing falsehoods. Seeing this as a moment to politically cement his position, Hidetada pleaded with the clan elders to stay their blades and to instead exile her, that she could repent for her shame for the remainder of her days. They accepted his plea and carried out the sentence of exile the very next morning.

::Shortly after exile, Kotokiri was made aware of a similar case in Watanabe Izanagi, a young male of the larger Watanabe clan in the southern reaches of Tetsu no Kuni. She met with him in an attempt to join forces, but found that he had already committed himself to the ways of the shinobi and had grown disenfranchised with the way that the Samurai clans operated. Still, she became fast friends with the pleasant youth and learned of his sister, Watanabe Sasaki- a swordswoman whose personal skills put even Kotokiri to great shame. Admiring her for all of her ability, she pleaded with Izanagi to teach him what he knew of the girl's abilities- even the less "honorable" aspects found in her blended Genjutsu artistry. Equipped with this new and potent skill alongside her own Tokugawa kenjutsu, Kotokiri set out to find her place in the new world.

::As a wandering rōnin, Kotokiri has been forced to abandon some of the former rigidity of her more proper Samurai lifestyle in order to survive. She does this with the hopes that she one day might gather powerful allies and considerable currency to lead a rebellion against her cowardly brother, for she feels that his deceit and weakness would only lead the Tokugawa from greatness to poverty.

== Personality ==
::Tokugawa Kotokiri is a woman of quiet pride. She possesses boundless, sometimes reckless, confidence without feeling the need to vocalize her ego in the direction of would-be opponents. Even after exile from her clan, she continues to swell with a desire to return and exceed her father's expectations for her. From a young age, she was recognized as a prodigious swords-woman, and was thus included in many lessons that women would not have typically been included in- in addition to the standard training given to all women within the Samurai nations. She was treated as a repository for knowledge of Samurai techniques and it was her sole task to utilize her talent one day in teaching the children of the next clan leader who would, hopefully, grow to become the Shogun of Tetsu no Kuni. Despite the great honor of this position and the acknowledgement of her talent, this sat- and continues to sit- sourly upon Kotokiri's conscious mind. She believes that her talent should have been recognized without consideration for the social standing attached to her sex and that she was the most properly suited to be vetted as the next head of the Tokugawa clan. Nonetheless, she is a fiercely loyal individual who bowed her head and performed her duty to the greatest of her ability even when a less talented younger brother was born and declared to be the shining light of the Tokugawa. Now exiled from that clan, she continues to act in the world as an agent of the Tokugawa, ever striving to improve their standing at home and at large. This nearly zealous loyalty extends to the few that she would consider friends, even if they throw themselves into a path that she disagrees with-- such as the case of the fellow exile, Watanabe Izanagi; she continues a dear friendship with the younger rōnin even though he has committed himself to the cause of the Shinobi.

::When dealing with others, Kotokiri is a remarkably blunt woman. She is quick to state her opinion and even declare when she considers the actions of another to be excessive or asinine. She has a great appreciation for other such individuals, and she finds the nuances of social etiquette to be tired at best. Still, she indulges those around her for the most part and will not actively attempt to offend; if she does cross that intangible social line, she may quickly amend the meaning of her words, but rarely apologizes. Kotokiri believes in personal responsibility and accountability, and expects both herself and others to rise to claim full responsibility for her/their words and actions. The only time that one might catch her uttering an apology is when she feels true and unquestionable guilt about her action or its results.

::As she was raised in a traditional Samurai home, Kotokiri has a strong appreciation for poetry, with favor being shown to those with more structure. She believes that there are power in words, and a poem may describe a person's mind just as well as sparring with that individual. Similarly, she greatly enjoys reading fiction, particular war-fiction and tales of heroism. Though she dislikes the Shinobi for their inconsistent ways, her favorite novel is "The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi". Her love of the book extended to the author himself, and she in turn finds a guilty pleasure in the "Icha Icha" series of books published by the same author.

== Appearance ==
::The fledgling rōnin known by Tokugawa Kotokiri initially may be seen as a girl of average build and stature. With a taste for attire that rarely flatters her actual physique, it is oft hard for friend and opponent alike to determine how much strength lies within the rōnin's frame. When peeled away of the traditional trappings dictated by a short lifetime of regulation, Kotokiri's profession becomes clear. She possesses exceptional musculature, tone and pulled taut by daily exercise. Her northerly heritage has given her a pale and milky skin tone, allowing her body to serve as a perfect canvas for the myriad scars that litter her torso. Curiously, each of these blemishes that riddle her frame are shallow and appear to have been superficial injuries. If one to speculate on the nature of her lifestyle, they might conclude that she was either an embarrassingly clumsy warrior, or an incredibly lucky one.

::As for the girl's shape itself, she possess noticeable but slight curvature, with no apparent indication of growing any more buxom with time. Indeed, the girl's body could be seen as shaped more for her chosen profession than for any act of motherhood. Though supple and possessing pert facets and some desirable qualities, she makes no concerted effort to accentuate or call attention to these features. Kotokiri prefers traditional garb with some modifications allowed for movement in combat; when expecting to require substantial movement, she will abandon her hakama or unceremoniously cut a yukata short.

::Above the cut of her physique and the attire she chooses to hide it lies Kotokiri's typically placid countenance. She possesses a slender expression typical of many Samurai clans, but is graced with a touch of softness from the less harsh environs of her mother's heritage. Within large, rounded eyes, are twin hues of chalice silver that give birth to a transient, often ambiguous or even enigmatic gaze. Her stare is highly reflective and difficult to read, giving cause for her eyes to be commonly teased as "duplicitous". Though they do not commonly give way to emotion, Kotokiri's eyes can sharpen intensely when she becomes agitated or annoyed. Framing these metallic gems are strands of platinum blonde hair that hand no longer than her shoulders at their lowest point. While her bangs are left to hang often messily about her expression, Kotokiri does prefer to keep a majority of her hair pulled back into a ponytail or bun.

== Trivia ==
::''General Knowledge; IC''
:* Kotokiri possesses no desire to slay her half-brother, but does not mask her intent to do so if he refuses her upon her eventual return.
:* Though Kotokiri resents her father’s decision to use her as an academic tool rather than the rightful clan heir, she greatly honors and respects his memory.
:* After claiming the Tokugawa clan as her own, Kotokiri has planned an attempt at claiming Tokugawa dominance over the rest of the Samurai Clans of Tetsu no Kuni.
:* Kotokiri has heard whispers of another “Tokugawa” family existing within Tsuchi no Kuni, and indeed has heard references to an “Ieyasu”, but is skeptical of any relation to her own father given her presence at his death-bed. Still, she is highly curious and hopes to visit this supposed man at some point.
:* Though Kotokiri has no strong preference between men and women, she tends to be more harsh on male suitors as an unconscious backlash against some sexist policies within the Samurai. She has not realized the hypocrisy of this.

== Quotes ==

:* "''Hidetada! I have witnessed your scheme to steal my life, and it has failed! The law cannot abide such treachery!''"
:* "''Leaving friends is a true sadness… but a place is only a place.''"
:* "''My father advised me not to be trapped by the need to achieve anything, that I might in turn achieve everything. This philosophy was surely cathartic for a man with everything, but it is the way of us lesser creatures to squabble and hoard until we are afforded such luxuries.''"
:* "''There are legends of Priestesses in the Land of Demons with a power like mine, but it is said that they must convince another to die in their place. I think it is fortunate that I am brought back only to moments before my demise- in this way, I am allowed to deny fate with my own strength.''"

== OOC Trivia ==
::''Private Knowledge; OOC''
:* Kotokiri is a cousin to Kazegari Arisu. If she learned of the other’s existence, she would make it a top priority to seek the woman out and attempt to exchange knowledge about the nature of their bloodline.
:* Through Kotokiri’s love of Jiraiya’s works, she has inadvertently become a rather large pervert. Though she is easily able to disguise this in public, her personal collection of lecherous reading material grows almost daily. She is particularly fond of Yaoi Manga.
:* Kotokiri was taught the basics of Genjutsu from Watanabe Izanagi, but has rejected any and all offers to learn Ninjutsu from various sources. She believes that using your spiritual energy to engage in a battle of the mind and senses is not dishonorable, but that using your chakra to form unnatural constructs and other incredibly dangerous abilities is unethical. She would not be opposed to learning Ninjutsu from the correct teacher, but it would take a philosopher to convince her that it was not worthy of being labeled as a taboo.
:* Despite loathing most pacifists, Kotokiri has a great respect for the monks of Ninshu. She believes that such individuals are the only ones entitled to pacifism in this violent era- and that any others who wish not to fight should behave similarly by confining themselves within the mountains.

::''The Meta; OOC''
:* The Kanji used to spell Kotokiri’s name, 事切, is meant to be read as “Cutting through Crisis”, though it literally means “Thing Cutoff/Cutter”. When れる is added to the spelling of her name it becomes Kotokiriru, 事切れる, and is translated to mean “to die”. This is meant to be something of a pun, as she partially immortal through the Gyomatsugan and uses that ability to “Cut through” the “Crisis” that is her own death.
:* The author of Kotokiri was not aware until writing this article that the historical figure Tokugawa Ieyasu had already been utilized in-game as a minor character elsewhere. As Kotokiri’s father is already dead, and the Samurai were once more prevalent, it can be easily dismissed as a distant relative to the Tokugawa Samurai clan.
:* Kotokiri was originally intended to be a member of the Otsutsuki clan, but the author determined that a Samurai Otsutsuki sounded forced and somewhat implausible.
:* With the Gyomatsugan, Kotokiri has some other limited futuresight abilities. These will grow more potent over time, but her prophetic ability will always be limited by the simple fact that prescience sees many possibilities rather than any absolutes- and she can only rarely foresee something that does not directly pertain to her life.
:* The existence of the Gyomatsugan and its unique ability for a sort of Time Travel establishes the Ninja Academy universe canonically as a multiverse with many alternates.

<b>Hyūga Mizumono</b> (日向水物, Mizumono Hyūga) is a Genin of Konohagakure no Sato. She once suffered from extreme Dissassociative Identity Disorder and was subject to a highly experimental treatment that resulted in the reduction of her physical age and consequently the removal of her memory. Before her treatment, she was a potent Jōnin of Konohagakure, a member of the ANBU, and War Hero. In her prime, Mizumono was both incredibly powerful and incredibly volatile; if she was caught during a psychotic episode, it was very likely that anyone nearby would perish. She is most well known for single-handedly pushing the remaining NCIA forces out of Konohagakure(while [[Hyuuga Yatako]] liberated the Country of Fire as a whole) and for her deadly participation in the battle at [[Kinomi no Toshi]].

== Background ==
===Chapter I; The Best Laid Plans===

::Rinnegan. Tenseigan. These were legends, ideals, impossibilities within the mortal realm, and yet, it was seen that time and again such surfaced to those of impeccable heritage and proper circumstance. These unobtainable, noble, eyes were the motivation that drove a sect of the Hyūga clan to launch an expansive breeding plan to perfect their already immaculate line. This plan, carefully executed and protected as a secret among secrets, resulted in the eventual birth of Hyūga Mizumono. Her birth did not signify the greatest of glories returning to the Hyūga-- no, it in fact was a harbinger for failure. She was to be the ultimate culmination of their work and meticulous social engineering, but was instead a simple, if not inquisitive, child. The hope that had resided in her genes, however, was not abandoned by all; her father, seeking to continue the project and strive for perfection that seemed attainable only by the legends of old, sought to salvage her lineage that she might mother the child that would shine naught but light upon the already illustrious clan. For this, he required the girl's survival; she was taught the basics of Shinobi Combat and, when the time came, was held back from proper graduation for more personalized training. She was restricted to the clan estate and privately trained, allowed to grow stronger but not to participate in any activity that would require the proof of her skills. It was during these times of dull peace that the first of her 'symptoms' of her heritage began to show- she manifested various other, erratic, personalities and interacted with them as though she were playing with ghosts about the estate. In an attempt to salvage her mind long enough to carry on her line, the girl's father engaged in a great taboo and struck a deal with a dying boy. Uchiha Kaosu was to be sealed within Mizumono's mind as a ward against the slow deterioration of her mind in exchange for the ability to seek revenge against the cousin who had been his undoing. Unknown to her father, this singular action would bring Mizumono to the precipice of death time and time again when Kaosu proved that his loyalties lie entirely with himself and not with the terms of their original agreement.

::Within the very same year, Kumogakure no Sato launched their mad blitz that conquered most of the known world. Again, in an attempt to preserve the world that had resulted in Mizumono's birth, she was handed to the N.C.I.A to join the ranks and protection of their organized and potent military force. Within the ranks of the Imperial military, Mizumono became acquainted with her first and best friends: Nenshou Toko and Darksol Anima. Though she had finally obtained friends of her own, Mizumono grew to be concerned for the well being of her family and returned to Konohagakure to investigate how it had fared in the year since her departure.

===Chapter II; Sunset on Sanity===

::After returning to Konohagakure, Mizumono found that the village was in tatters. Despite having barely recovered from the blitzkrieg, the remaining members of Konoha's shinobi force had taken up arms against their occupants, attempting to oust them from their precious nation. Though it was a hard fought battle, the rebellion was ultimately quashed and disbanded. She heard of what had happened from the brother of Hyūga Yatako, who then instructed her to find the prodigal cousin and learn from him, that she might one day lift Konoha's banner in a renewed resistance. Though she did not consider herself much of a revolutionary, she took the call to arms and decided that if anything was worth fighting for, it was home.

::Her search for Yatako brought her to the Land of Coal, where she was met by Amshiro Suzuke and his partner, Shodaan. These two boys were fresh members of a newly formed organization known as Hakumei, the spiritual successor to the once infamous mercenary organization "Akatsuki". Though Shodaan's loyalty to Hakumei was unwavering, Suzuke had been questioning their motives for some time and slowly grew to become friends with Mizumono. He had decided that their draconic methods were not those that he wished to employ and helped the young Hyūga locate Yatako, who arranged for Suzuke's death to be impersonated that he could be free of Hakumei pursuit as he left the nation. The two teens became the first students of Hyūga Yatako, the man who would one day be Hokage.

::On their journey away from the Land of Coal, Mizumono chanced upon a blade that would serve to facilitate great change in her life: the legendary blade of cherry blossoms, Senbonzakura. Though she had not yet unlocked its inherent potential, Mizumono trained alongside Yatako and Suzuke until she had honed herself into a weapon worthy of holding Konohagakure no Sato's war banner. However, as she grew stronger, so too did Kaosu's influence upon her mind. He took hold of her already fragile ego and caused her to flee her friend and teacher, ultimately regaining full control of herself only when she had crossed into the Land of Water.

::Within Mizu no Kuni, the fleeing Hyūga encountered a group of Konohagakure genin who mistook her for a proper member of the N.C.I.A. They did battle, but ultimately fell to her blade. Still recovering from the fracture that Kaosu had delivered to her psyche, she acted drastically and slew one of the unconscious genin as an example that would keep the others from risking their lives against her yet again. Before she could make off with her newly found prisoners, Mizumono was interrupted by their jonin and promptly defeated. She had explained only part of her situation, indicating that she was a member of the Konohagakure Resistance who had been mistaken as a Kumogakure Shinobi and was merely defending herself. The jonin cautiously took her word and allowed her to join their group for the time.

::The group barely had time to bury their fallen comrade before they were ushered onto a boat and sent back toward the Land of Fire. Aboard this boat, Mizumono experienced the telepathic touch of Senbonzakura for the first time; she learned of the blade's powers, its name, and some small measure of the creature that it once had been. Though she was not able to discern whether or not it was actually the blade speaking to her, she accepted its power with no further questioning. She barely had time to practice fighting with the blade's released state before the group of shinobi were called to the ship's deck. There, Mizumono saw a face she never expected to witness again: Shodaan. He had been obviously drugged, but was resisting captivity. The jonin that had allowed her continued survival explained to her that he posed a threat to their resistance, as he was a member of the criminal organization Hakumei. In order to prove her loyalty to the resistance movement, she was told that she would be the teen's executioner. Not wanting to take his life so callously, she agreed only if she could fight him to the death, even despite his impairments. Their battle was short lived- Shodaan opted to blow himself up in a grand display of strength rather than be slain by the hands of another.

::Shortly after the fateful encounter, the boat docked and allowed the group of Konohagkaure shinobi to reach their destination: a small town known as Kinomi no Toshi. They arrived to convene with a larger group of Resistance shinobi, only to be ambushed by a large NCIA Hunter-Ninja force. Though the battle was split into many potion, Mizumono utilized the newly found powers of her blade to eliminate a large quantity of the force... as well as her own team-mates. Once again, her mind crumbled beneath a schism of many interests; as she had done all of her life, she fled.

===Chapter III; The Shattered Hero===

::Mizumono fled from battle after battle in an attempt to find a quiet place to repair herself and make sense of the myriad of voices that clamored loudly now within her mind. She had found such no such a place-- instead, her attempts to find peace had lead her to the heart of war. She appeared in Nigiyakashufu as the Rebellion was reaching its crescendo. The leaders of each individual nation had gathered together alongside their forces for a final push to defeat the Raikage and oust the Empire's fell control once and for all. Seeing this as an opportunity to redeem herself, Mizumono joined the battle.

::While the leaders of each nation's resistance forces were engaged with the Raikage and his elite generals, Mizumono pitted herself against a potent woman with pumpkin-colored eyes. The woman was able to suspend Senbonzakura's petals amidst a torrent of wind and nearly defeated Mizumono, but was ultimately overturned when the girl tapped into Kaosu's sealed chakra and collapsed the woman's chakra circulatory system.

::After the battle, Mizumono met up again with Yatako and subjected herself to his judgment in an attempt to atone for the great misdeeds she had done over the course of the war. Seeming to want to put it all behind the world, Yatako agreed to absolve her of her crimes if she would pledge her blade to ousting the last remnants of the NCIA from Hi no Kuni. She agreed without hesitation and set out to Konohagakure while Yatako himself took the majority of the remaining Konohagakure resistance forces to Hotarunoshi.

::With Senbonzakura at her side, Mizumono pushed the remaining NCIA forces out of Konohagakure, unceremoniously ridding the nation of its last bits of Kumogakure taint. In doing so, she became decorated as a War Hero and was afforded the right to rejoin Konohagakure as a jonin and ANBU member; she accepted and attempted to return to a normal life.

===Chapter IV; A Matter of Chance===

::Despite all of her best efforts to bring her sins to a close, Mizumono remained haunted by the many personalities that gripped her mind at any moment that she let her guard down. Slowly, over several months, her sanity waned and withered away, leaving her a twisted husk of a human. She was admitted into a hospital and cared for, though no progress was made until a fateful night in which she overpowered her orderlies and escaped the hospital. The girl, confused and caught within a haze of too many voices, lost herself in the forests that surrounded Konohagakure no Sato.

::When she awoke, her thoughts were frighteningly clear-- and silent. She could not appreciate this fact, however, as she did not have any recollection of any of the events of the war or months thereafter. While wandering the forest, lost, she met an unlikely savor: Uchiha Ozaku. The boy guided her back to town and attempted to decipher who she was and where she came from. Birds of a feather, the two bonded almost immediately after spending the day together. As night began to fall, Mizumono lost consciousness yet again and unconsciously allowed Kaosu to take control of her body. For the first time, he did not immediately force her to flee or carry on his bloodthirsty vengeance. Instead, the boy-spirit explained to Ozaku what had happened to Mizumono and that he had slowly fallen in love with her over the years they spent together. After she had broken open his seal in Nigiyakashufu, his chakra was bleeding from her and he would soon be gone. He used the last of his chakra to create a narcoleptic fail-safe within the girl; any time her mind became overwhelmed by her splintered personalities, she would fall into a deep sleep. Kaosu passed on the burden of taking care of Mizumono to Ozaku and, as suddenly as he appeared, he vanished from her body.

::In the years thereafter, Ozaku served as her guardian, her confidant, and eventually her lover. For a time, she was allowed a relatively normal life. Though time was a salve for some, it eventually proved to be Mizumono's undoing. Her bouts of narcolepsy increased dramatically over time, leading Ozaku to reveal her unique condition to the doctors that she had been seeing about the matter. An extensive analysis of her brain thereafter revealed that the unhinging of Kaosu's seal in addition to the condition he had instated within her had caused increasing amounts of damage to her brain. The result of which was that the flares of her alternate personas came with increasing frequency, resulting in the sleeping seal triggering more often, which in turn continued to damage her brain. Though the outlook seemed grim for Mizumono, she was approached by an enigmatic pragmatist of a doctor who offered to her a unique and experimental treatment. He claimed to have studied the ability of certain types of chakra to reverse and regenerate damaged tissue, but that it given the brain's interconnection throughout the body, he would have to implement the procedure on the entirety of her body. The result of this procedure was clear: her physical form would be reverted to whatever state it was in before Kaosu's original seal had been implemented. She would become young and rejuvenated, though she would lose the majority of the memories that she had formed between then and now. Mizumono agreed to his terms and allowed the procedure to be done.

===Chapter V; A Titan Reborn===

::After recovering from the procedure that had reverted her age many years, Mizumono found herself curious and confused. Ozaku explained much of what he knew of her last several years and why she had agreed to undergo it. Though hesitant, she accepted his explanation and returned home with the boy. Though her new and altered state prevented their relationship from continuing as it had previously, Ozaku began to look over her as a mentor and a guardian, teaching her all that he could to help her return to the life she once had.

::Though her abilities have diminished severely as a byproduct of the treatment, Mizumono has again embraced the way of the Shinobi and now seeks to hone her skills so that she may one day find those that she hurt and repent for the misdeeds of her illness.

== Personality ==
:Mizumono, in the current era, is a changed individual. Once broken, then crazed, now optimistic; this Hyūga girl is in many ways the person that she was never allowed to be in the past. She is excitable and optimistic, always preferring to look for the bright side of a bad situation and the light of decency in those she interacts with. She is friendly and mostly polite, though enjoys playfully teasing those she befriends at every given opportunity. Despite, or perhaps due to, the severity of the life that she has been made to live, Mizumono possesses an incredibly lighthearted outlook on life and tends to view almost everything as a game or a competition. Though she greatly enjoys competitive sport, she typically accepts loss in stride and savors learning from each defeat.

:She is a highly selfless individual, frequently pushing herself beyond her natural means to help someone in any amount of distress. Valuing friendship above all else, she places the well being of her friends and companions well above her own- a facet of her personality that often sees her taking the blame for others' mishaps or facing injury in place of another.

:Due to the extensive medical work that she has undergone in recent years, much of the instability in her personality has all but vanished. She no longer has bouts of alternative personas taking hold of her mind, nor is she incredibly susceptible to psychotic breaks caused by her own formerly splintering persona. The nature of her affliction, however, is not entirely able to be cured and consequently leaves her with still occasional flashes of memories from before her treatment and those fabricated memories of the differing personas that once inhabited her mind.

== Appearance ==
:In previous years, Mizumono preferred her hair to be cropped short with messy and uneven cuts, using her very appearance as a means to rebel against the heavy-handed manipulations of her family. Time had mended her need for rebellion and allowed her to begin wearing her hair straightened and unadorned as she grew into adulthood. With her physical form reverted and a mind now mostly mended, she has taken to a combination of the two styles that help her to reclaim a bit of who she once was. Her corvid stands are now worn tied into a high ponytail with messy bangs allowed to hang at either side of her expression, framing her the sharp features of her face. Her eyes are sharply formed, but bright with inquisitive energy; it is not uncommon to see her eyes crinkling with a wide and infectious smile. Though shimmering with continual excitement, the ashen hue of Mizumono's gaze often gives her the appearance that she is looking through or past an individual rather than at them.

:Despite having her body subject to the strange flows of age manipulation, the petite kunoichi remains very much as she ever was. The creme hue of her skin is stretched taught over well toned musculature indicative of a considerable amount of physical training. She is diminutive and svelte, holding soft and subtle slopes that indicate that she has yet again to travel through the entirety of her growth into woman-hood. Her features are fine and well formed, granting her an aesthetic of budding elegance.

===Civilian Attire===
::The civilian attire of this particular Hyūga is modest and proper. She prefers wearing a large assortment of traditionally crafted yukata when the weather permits such weather, and often even when it does not. Beneath this, she usually wears clashing sports-wear that allows her to spring free from the tight trappings of her public regalia if the situation calls such for it. She has shown a great preference to the colors of red and white as well as floral designs.

===Mission Attire===
::The battle garb of a shinobi varies wildly from wearer to wearer as well as between regions. In the case of Mizumono, she tends to prefer traditional styles with modern ones. She typically wears a short kimono with long, wide sleeves that allow her to obscure the motions of her hands and arms with ease. She wears her shinobi vestments over top of this kimono, preferring those flak jackets and armoring that have little ornamentation and instead are selected with simply to math the coloration of her attire. She wears standard shinobi sandals of the variation that stretch up the length of her legs, stopping midway up her thighs. Given that she was previously well known as an imperial criminal and a key member of Konohagakure's resistance movement, she has taken to wearing masks when outside of the village as to prevent former enemies from exploiting her recent decrease in strength.

== Trivia ==
::''General Knowledge; IC''
:* "Mizumono" translates into "Matter of Chance" (lit. Matter of Water)
:* Mizumono was considered an S-Rank Missing Nin by the NCIA, despite being only a Chuunin
:* Mizumono is typically avoided by other veterans of the Konohagakure liberation, given her previous status as a dangerous and mentally unbalanced shinobi
:* Since meeting Uchiha Ozaku, Mizumono's mental state has been on the mend- her most ridiculous outbursts in recent times have only involved long and multi-sided debates about what foods to have at a buffet or snack stall.
:* Mizumono's first crush was on Darksol Anima.

== Quotes ==

:* "''I don't even remember the name of this village... what makes you think that I'd possibly know where to buy clothes?''"
:* "''Zaku! Tell your soul to stop moving!''"
:* "''Hear that, everyone? We're running away. If you'd like to disagree, just let me know-- I don't mind dragging your unconscious body with me. I've got no desire to be the death of any more of you kids.''"
:* "''Whoa there! Going right for the kill isn't any way to make friends, you know!''"

== OOC Trivia ==
::''Private Knowledge; OOC''
:* Mizumono's father is alive, but has gone missing since the end of the war. She has tried to locate him, to no avail.
:* Mizumono suffers from mild Schizophrenia and Dis-associative Identity Disorder, presumed to be both the fault of invasive sealing techniques and her "breeding plan".
:* Mizumono formerly had the vengeful soul of a murdered Uchiha sealed within her, whose desire for revenge was used as a counterbalance to drown out her other personas.
:* The aforementioned Uchiha's seal has since worn off, leaving him primarily vacant from the girl's mind. The remainder of the chakra within the seal has been re-purposed to minimize the effects of her D.I.D.

::''The Meta; OOC''
:* Mizumono was originally based on Alia Atreides from Frank Herbert's DUNE series. Her multiple-personalities were originally meant to be genetic memory, though the notion was eventually abandoned in lieu of a more practical and less "meta-game" approach.
:* The Uchiha sealed within her, Uchiha Kaosu, was a former PC of [[Hardcore Skittlez]], and was used originally as a plot device to give Mizumono reason to pursue Kaosu's murderer, Uchiha Mizujin. Despite that, Mizumono and Mizujin have not had any in-character encounters.
:* Mizumono's combat prowess was so great that her later encounters were steered away from stat battles so that she would not end the fights too quickly or decisively.
:* Mizumono is the reason that the equipment stat-bonus rule was implemented, as she accumulated a great sum of money and had artificially inflated her level through item stats by nearly 30 levels.

<b>Hyūga Mizumono</b> (日向水物, Mizumono Hyūga) is a Genin of Konohagakure no Sato. She once suffered from extreme Dissassociative Identity Disorder and was subject to a highly experimental treatment that resulted in the reduction of her physical age and consequently the removal of her memory. Before her treatment, she was a potent Jōnin of Konohagakure, a member of the ANBU, and War Hero. In her prime, Mizumono was both incredibly powerful and incredibly volatile; if she was caught during a psychotic episode, it was very likely that anyone nearby would perish. She is most well known for single-handedly pushing the remaining NCIA forces out of Konohagakure(while [[Hyuuga Yatako]] liberated the Country of Fire as a whole) and for her deadly participation in the battle at [[Kinomi no Toshi]].

== Background ==
===Chapter I; The Best Laid Plans===

::Rinnegan. Tenseigan. These were legends, ideals, impossibilities within the mortal realm, and yet, it was seen that time and again such surfaced to those of impeccable heritage and proper circumstance. These unobtainable, noble, eyes were the motivation that drove a sect of the Hyūga clan to launch an expansive breeding plan to perfect their already immaculate line. This plan, carefully executed and protected as a secret among secrets, resulted in the eventual birth of Hyūga Mizumono. Her birth did not signify the greatest of glories returning to the Hyūga-- no, it in fact was a harbinger for failure. She was to be the ultimate culmination of their work and meticulous social engineering, but was instead a simple, if not inquisitive, child. The hope that had resided in her genes, however, was not abandoned by all; her father, seeking to continue the project and strive for perfection that seemed attainable only by the legends of old, sought to salvage her lineage that she might mother the child that would shine naught but light upon the already illustrious clan. For this, he required the girl's survival; she was taught the basics of Shinobi Combat and, when the time came, was held back from proper graduation for more personalized training. She was restricted to the clan estate and privately trained, allowed to grow stronger but not to participate in any activity that would require the proof of her skills. It was during these times of dull peace that the first of her 'symptoms' of her heritage began to show- she manifested various other, erratic, personalities and interacted with them as though she were playing with ghosts about the estate. In an attempt to salvage her mind long enough to carry on her line, the girl's father engaged in a great taboo and struck a deal with a dying boy. Uchiha Kaosu was to be sealed within Mizumono's mind as a ward against the slow deterioration of her mind in exchange for the ability to seek revenge against the cousin who had been his undoing. Unknown to her father, this singular action would bring Mizumono to the precipice of death time and time again when Kaosu proved that his loyalties lie entirely with himself and not with the terms of their original agreement.

::Within the very same year, Kumogakure no Sato launched their mad blitz that conquered most of the known world. Again, in an attempt to preserve the world that had resulted in Mizumono's birth, she was handed to the N.C.I.A to join the ranks and protection of their organized and potent military force. Within the ranks of the Imperial military, Mizumono became acquainted with her first and best friends: Nenshou Toko and Darksol Anima. Though she had finally obtained friends of her own, Mizumono grew to be concerned for the well being of her family and returned to Konohagakure to investigate how it had fared in the year since her departure.

===Chapter II; Sunset on Sanity===

::After returning to Konohagakure, Mizumono found that the village was in tatters. Despite having barely recovered from the blitzkrieg, the remaining members of Konoha's shinobi force had taken up arms against their occupants, attempting to oust them from their precious nation. Though it was a hard fought battle, the rebellion was ultimately quashed and disbanded. She heard of what had happened from the brother of Hyūga Yatako, who then instructed her to find the prodigal cousin and learn from him, that she might one day lift Konoha's banner in a renewed resistance. Though she did not consider herself much of a revolutionary, she took the call to arms and decided that if anything was worth fighting for, it was home.

::Her search for Yatako brought her to the Land of Coal, where she was met by Amshiro Suzuke and his partner, Shodaan. These two boys were fresh members of a newly formed organization known as Hakumei, the spiritual successor to the once infamous mercenary organization "Akatsuki". Though Shodaan's loyalty to Hakumei was unwavering, Suzuke had been questioning their motives for some time and slowly grew to become friends with Mizumono. He had decided that their draconic methods were not those that he wished to employ and helped the young Hyūga locate Yatako, who arranged for Suzuke's death to be impersonated that he could be free of Hakumei pursuit as he left the nation. The two teens became the first students of Hyūga Yatako, the man who would one day be Hokage.

::On their journey away from the Land of Coal, Mizumono chanced upon a blade that would serve to facilitate great change in her life: the legendary blade of cherry blossoms, Senbonzakura. Though she had not yet unlocked its inherent potential, Mizumono trained alongside Yatako and Suzuke until she had honed herself into a weapon worthy of holding Konohagakure no Sato's war banner. However, as she grew stronger, so too did Kaosu's influence upon her mind. He took hold of her already fragile ego and caused her to flee her friend and teacher, ultimately regaining full control of herself only when she had crossed into the Land of Water.

::Within Mizu no Kuni, the fleeing Hyūga encountered a group of Konohagakure genin who mistook her for a proper member of the N.C.I.A. They did battle, but ultimately fell to her blade. Still recovering from the fracture that Kaosu had delivered to her psyche, she acted drastically and slew one of the unconscious genin as an example that would keep the others from risking their lives against her yet again. Before she could make off with her newly found prisoners, Mizumono was interrupted by their jonin and promptly defeated. She had explained only part of her situation, indicating that she was a member of the Konohagakure Resistance who had been mistaken as a Kumogakure Shinobi and was merely defending herself. The jonin cautiously took her word and allowed her to join their group for the time.

::The group barely had time to bury their fallen comrade before they were ushered onto a boat and sent back toward the Land of Fire. Aboard this boat, Mizumono experienced the telepathic touch of Senbonzakura for the first time; she learned of the blade's powers, its name, and some small measure of the creature that it once had been. Though she was not able to discern whether or not it was actually the blade speaking to her, she accepted its power with no further questioning. She barely had time to practice fighting with the blade's released state before the group of shinobi were called to the ship's deck. There, Mizumono saw a face she never expected to witness again: Shodaan. He had been obviously drugged, but was resisting captivity. The jonin that had allowed her continued survival explained to her that he posed a threat to their resistance, as he was a member of the criminal organization Hakumei. In order to prove her loyalty to the resistance movement, she was told that she would be the teen's executioner. Not wanting to take his life so callously, she agreed only if she could fight him to the death, even despite his impairments. Their battle was short lived- Shodaan opted to blow himself up in a grand display of strength rather than be slain by the hands of another.

::Shortly after the fateful encounter, the boat docked and allowed the group of Konohagkaure shinobi to reach their destination: a small town known as Kinomi no Toshi. They arrived to convene with a larger group of Resistance shinobi, only to be ambushed by a large NCIA Hunter-Ninja force. Though the battle was split into many potion, Mizumono utilized the newly found powers of her blade to eliminate a large quantity of the force... as well as her own team-mates. Once again, her mind crumbled beneath a schism of many interests; as she had done all of her life, she fled.

===Chapter III; The Shattered Hero===

::Mizumono fled from battle after battle in an attempt to find a quiet place to repair herself and make sense of the myriad of voices that clamored loudly now within her mind. She had found such no such a place-- instead, her attempts to find peace had lead her to the heart of war. She appeared in Nigiyakashufu as the Rebellion was reaching its crescendo. The leaders of each individual nation had gathered together alongside their forces for a final push to defeat the Raikage and oust the Empire's fell control once and for all. Seeing this as an opportunity to redeem herself, Mizumono joined the battle.

::While the leaders of each nation's resistance forces were engaged with the Raikage and his elite generals, Mizumono pitted herself against a potent woman with pumpkin-colored eyes. The woman was able to suspend Senbonzakura's petals amidst a torrent of wind and nearly defeated Mizumono, but was ultimately overturned when the girl tapped into Kaosu's sealed chakra and collapsed the woman's chakra circulatory system.

::After the battle, Mizumono met up again with Yatako and subjected herself to his judgment in an attempt to atone for the great misdeeds she had done over the course of the war. Seeming to want to put it all behind the world, Yatako agreed to absolve her of her crimes if she would pledge her blade to ousting the last remnants of the NCIA from Hi no Kuni. She agreed without hesitation and set out to Konohagakure while Yatako himself took the majority of the remaining Konohagakure resistance forces to Hotarunoshi.

::With Senbonzakura at her side, Mizumono pushed the remaining NCIA forces out of Konohagakure, unceremoniously ridding the nation of its last bits of Kumogakure taint. In doing so, she became decorated as a War Hero and was afforded the right to rejoin Konohagakure as a jonin and ANBU member; she accepted and attempted to return to a normal life.

===Chapter IV; A Matter of Chance===

::Despite all of her best efforts to bring her sins to a close, Mizumono remained haunted by the many personalities that gripped her mind at any moment that she let her guard down. Slowly, over several months, her sanity waned and withered away, leaving her a twisted husk of a human. She was admitted into a hospital and cared for, though no progress was made until a fateful night in which she overpowered her orderlies and escaped the hospital. The girl, confused and caught within a haze of too many voices, lost herself in the forests that surrounded Konohagakure no Sato.

::When she awoke, her thoughts were frighteningly clear-- and silent. She could not appreciate this fact, however, as she did not have any recollection of any of the events of the war or months thereafter. While wandering the forest, lost, she met an unlikely savor: Uchiha Ozaku. The boy guided her back to town and attempted to decipher who she was and where she came from. Birds of a feather, the two bonded almost immediately after spending the day together. As night began to fall, Mizumono lost consciousness yet again and unconsciously allowed Kaosu to take control of her body. For the first time, he did not immediately force her to flee or carry on his bloodthirsty vengeance. Instead, the boy-spirit explained to Ozaku what had happened to Mizumono and that he had slowly fallen in love with her over the years they spent together. After she had broken open his seal in Nigiyakashufu, his chakra was bleeding from her and he would soon be gone. He used the last of his chakra to create a narcoleptic fail-safe within the girl; any time her mind became overwhelmed by her splintered personalities, she would fall into a deep sleep. Kaosu passed on the burden of taking care of Mizumono to Ozaku and, as suddenly as he appeared, he vanished from her body.

::In the years thereafter, Ozaku served as her guardian, her confidant, and eventually her lover. For a time, she was allowed a relatively normal life. Though time was a salve for some, it eventually proved to be Mizumono's undoing. Her bouts of narcolepsy increased dramatically over time, leading Ozaku to reveal her unique condition to the doctors that she had been seeing about the matter. An extensive analysis of her brain thereafter revealed that the unhinging of Kaosu's seal in addition to the condition he had instated within her had caused increasing amounts of damage to her brain. The result of which was that the flares of her alternate personas came with increasing frequency, resulting in the sleeping seal triggering more often, which in turn continued to damage her brain. Though the outlook seemed grim for Mizumono, she was approached by an enigmatic pragmatist of a doctor who offered to her a unique and experimental treatment. He claimed to have studied the ability of certain types of chakra to reverse and regenerate damaged tissue, but that it given the brain's interconnection throughout the body, he would have to implement the procedure on the entirety of her body. The result of this procedure was clear: her physical form would be reverted to whatever state it was in before Kaosu's original seal had been implemented. She would become young and rejuvenated, though she would lose the majority of the memories that she had formed between then and now. Mizumono agreed to his terms and allowed the procedure to be done.

===Chapter V; A Titan Reborn===

::After recovering from the procedure that had reverted her age many years, Mizumono found herself curious and confused. Ozaku explained much of what he knew of her last several years and why she had agreed to undergo it. Though hesitant, she accepted his explanation and returned home with the boy. Though her new and altered state prevented their relationship from continuing as it had previously, Ozaku began to look over her as a mentor and a guardian, teaching her all that he could to help her return to the life she once had.

::Though her abilities have diminished severely as a byproduct of the treatment, Mizumono has again embraced the way of the Shinobi and now seeks to hone her skills so that she may one day find those that she hurt and repent for the misdeeds of her illness.

== Personality ==
:Mizumono, in the current era, is a changed individual. Once broken, then crazed, now optimistic; this Hyūga girl is in many ways the person that she was never allowed to be in the past. She is excitable and optimistic, always preferring to look for the bright side of a bad situation and the light of decency in those she interacts with. She is friendly and mostly polite, though enjoys playfully teasing those she befriends at every given opportunity. Despite, or perhaps due to, the severity of the life that she has been made to live, Mizumono possesses an incredibly lighthearted outlook on life and tends to view almost everything as a game or a competition. Though she greatly enjoys competitive sport, she typically accepts loss in stride and savors learning from each defeat.

:She is a highly selfless individual, frequently pushing herself beyond her natural means to help someone in any amount of distress. Valuing friendship above all else, she places the well being of her friends and companions well above her own- a facet of her personality that often sees her taking the blame for others' mishaps or facing injury in place of another.

:Due to the extensive medical work that she has undergone in recent years, much of the instability in her personality has all but vanished. She no longer has bouts of alternative personas taking hold of her mind, nor is she incredibly susceptible to psychotic breaks caused by her own formerly splintering persona. The nature of her affliction, however, is not entirely able to be cured and consequently leaves her with still occasional flashes of memories from before her treatment and those fabricated memories of the differing personas that once inhabited her mind.

== Appearance ==
:In previous years, Mizumono preferred her hair to be cropped short with messy and uneven cuts, using her very appearance as a means to rebel against the heavy-handed manipulations of her family. Time had mended her need for rebellion and allowed her to begin wearing her hair straightened and unadorned as she grew into adulthood. With her physical form reverted and a mind now mostly mended, she has taken to a combination of the two styles that help her to reclaim a bit of who she once was. Her corvid stands are now worn tied into a high ponytail with messy bangs allowed to hang at either side of her expression, framing her the sharp features of her face. Her eyes are sharply formed, but bright with inquisitive energy; it is not uncommon to see her eyes crinkling with a wide and infectious smile. Though shimmering with continual excitement, the ashen hue of Mizumono's gaze often gives her the appearance that she is looking through or past an individual rather than at them.

:Despite having her body subject to the strange flows of age manipulation, the petite kunoichi remains very much as she ever was. The creme hue of her skin is stretched taught over well toned musculature indicative of a considerable amount of physical training. She is diminutive and svelte, holding soft and subtle slopes that indicate that she has yet again to travel through the entirety of her growth into woman-hood. Her features are fine and well formed, granting her an aesthetic of budding elegance.

===Civilian Attire===
::The civilian attire of this particular Hyūga is modest and proper. She prefers wearing a large assortment of traditionally crafted yukata when the weather permits such weather, and often even when it does not. Beneath this, she usually wears clashing sports-wear that allows her to spring free from the tight trappings of her public regalia if the situation calls such for it. She has shown a great preference to the colors of red and white as well as floral designs.

===Mission Attire===
::The battle garb of a shinobi varies wildly from wearer to wearer as well as between regions. In the case of Mizumono, she tends to prefer traditional styles with modern ones. She typically wears a short kimono with long, wide sleeves that allow her to obscure the motions of her hands and arms with ease. She wears her shinobi vestments over top of this kimono, preferring those flak jackets and armoring that have little ornamentation and instead are selected with simply to math the coloration of her attire. She wears standard shinobi sandals of the variation that stretch up the length of her legs, stopping midway up her thighs. Given that she was previously well known as an imperial criminal and a key member of Konohagakure's resistance movement, she has taken to wearing masks when outside of the village as to prevent former enemies from exploiting her recent decrease in strength.

== Part I ==

== Trivia ==
::''General Knowledge; IC''
:* "Mizumono" translates into "Matter of Chance" (lit. Matter of Water)
:* Mizumono was considered an S-Rank Missing Nin by the NCIA, despite being only a Chuunin
:* Mizumono is typically avoided by other veterans of the Konohagakure liberation, given her previous status as a dangerous and mentally unbalanced shinobi
:* Since meeting Uchiha Ozaku, Mizumono's mental state has been on the mend- her most ridiculous outbursts in recent times have only involved long and multi-sided debates about what foods to have at a buffet or snack stall.
:* Mizumono's first crush was on Darksol Anima.

== Quotes ==

:* "''I don't even remember the name of this village... what makes you think that I'd possibly know where to buy clothes?''"
:* "''Zaku! Tell your soul to stop moving!''"
:* "''Hear that, everyone? We're running away. If you'd like to disagree, just let me know-- I don't mind dragging your unconscious body with me. I've got no desire to be the death of any more of you kids.''"
:* "''Whoa there! Going right for the kill isn't any way to make friends, you know!''"

== OOC Trivia ==
::''Private Knowledge; OOC''
:* Mizumono's father is alive, but has gone missing since the end of the war. She has tried to locate him, to no avail.
:* Mizumono suffers from mild Schizophrenia and Dis-associative Identity Disorder, presumed to be both the fault of invasive sealing techniques and her "breeding plan".
:* Mizumono formerly had the vengeful soul of a murdered Uchiha sealed within her, whose desire for revenge was used as a counterbalance to drown out her other personas.
:* The aforementioned Uchiha's seal has since worn off, leaving him primarily vacant from the girl's mind. The remainder of the chakra within the seal has been re-purposed to minimize the effects of her D.I.D.

::''The Meta; OOC''
:* Mizumono was originally based on Alia Atreides from Frank Herbert's DUNE series. Her multiple-personalities were originally meant to be genetic memory, though the notion was eventually abandoned in lieu of a more practical and less "meta-game" approach.
:* The Uchiha sealed within her, Uchiha Kaosu, was a former PC of [[Hardcore Skittlez]], and was used originally as a plot device to give Mizumono reason to pursue Kaosu's murderer, Uchiha Mizujin. Despite that, Mizumono and Mizujin have not had any in-character encounters.
:* Mizumono's combat prowess was so great that her later encounters were steered away from stat battles so that she would not end the fights too quickly or decisively.
:* Mizumono is the reason that the equipment stat-bonus rule was implemented, as she accumulated a great sum of money and had artificially inflated her level through item stats by nearly 30 levels.

<b>Hyūga Mizumono</b> (日向水物, Mizumono Hyūga) is a Genin of Konohagakure no Sato. She once suffered from extreme Dissassociative Identity Disorder and was subject to a highly experimental treatment that resulted in the reduction of her physical age and consequently the removal of her memory. Before her treatment, she was a potent Jōnin of Konohagakure, a member of the ANBU, and War Hero. In her prime, Mizumono was both incredibly powerful and incredibly volatile; if she was caught during a psychotic episode, it was very likely that anyone nearby would perish. She is most well known for single-handedly pushing the remaining NCIA forces out of Konohagakure(while [[Hyuuga Yatako]] liberated the Country of Fire as a whole) and for her deadly participation in the battle at [[Kinomi no Toshi]].

== Background ==
===Chapter I; The Best Laid Plans===

::Rinnegan. Tenseigan. These were legends, ideals, impossibilities within the mortal realm, and yet, it was seen that time and again such surfaced to those of impeccable heritage and proper circumstance. These unobtainable, noble, eyes were the motivation that drove a sect of the Hyūga clan to launch an expansive breeding plan to perfect their already immaculate line. This plan, carefully executed and protected as a secret among secrets, resulted in the eventual birth of Hyūga Mizumono. Her birth did not signify the greatest of glories returning to the Hyūga-- no, it in fact was a harbinger for failure. She was to be the ultimate culmination of their work and meticulous social engineering, but was instead a simple, if not inquisitive, child. The hope that had resided in her genes, however, was not abandoned by all; her father, seeking to continue the project and strive for perfection that seemed attainable only by the legends of old, sought to salvage her lineage that she might mother the child that would shine naught but light upon the already illustrious clan. For this, he required the girl's survival; she was taught the basics of Shinobi Combat and, when the time came, was held back from proper graduation for more personalized training. She was restricted to the clan estate and privately trained, allowed to grow stronger but not to participate in any activity that would require the proof of her skills. It was during these times of dull peace that the first of her 'symptoms' of her heritage began to show- she manifested various other, erratic, personalities and interacted with them as though she were playing with ghosts about the estate. In an attempt to salvage her mind long enough to carry on her line, the girl's father engaged in a great taboo and struck a deal with a dying boy. Uchiha Kaosu was to be sealed within Mizumono's mind as a ward against the slow deterioration of her mind in exchange for the ability to seek revenge against the cousin who had been his undoing. Unknown to her father, this singular action would bring Mizumono to the precipice of death time and time again when Kaosu proved that his loyalties lie entirely with himself and not with the terms of their original agreement.

::Within the very same year, Kumogakure no Sato launched their mad blitz that conquered most of the known world. Again, in an attempt to preserve the world that had resulted in Mizumono's birth, she was handed to the N.C.I.A to join the ranks and protection of their organized and potent military force. Within the ranks of the Imperial military, Mizumono became acquainted with her first and best friends: Nenshou Toko and Darksol Anima. Though she had finally obtained friends of her own, Mizumono grew to be concerned for the well being of her family and returned to Konohagakure to investigate how it had fared in the year since her departure.

===Chapter II; Sunset on Sanity===

::After returning to Konohagakure, Mizumono found that the village was in tatters. Despite having barely recovered from the blitzkrieg, the remaining members of Konoha's shinobi force had taken up arms against their occupants, attempting to oust them from their precious nation. Though it was a hard fought battle, the rebellion was ultimately quashed and disbanded. She heard of what had happened from the brother of Hyūga Yatako, who then instructed her to find the prodigal cousin and learn from him, that she might one day lift Konoha's banner in a renewed resistance. Though she did not consider herself much of a revolutionary, she took the call to arms and decided that if anything was worth fighting for, it was home.

::Her search for Yatako brought her to the Land of Coal, where she was met by Amshiro Suzuke and his partner, Shodaan. These two boys were fresh members of a newly formed organization known as Hakumei, the spiritual successor to the once infamous mercenary organization "Akatsuki". Though Shodaan's loyalty to Hakumei was unwavering, Suzuke had been questioning their motives for some time and slowly grew to become friends with Mizumono. He had decided that their draconic methods were not those that he wished to employ and helped the young Hyūga locate Yatako, who arranged for Suzuke's death to be impersonated that he could be free of Hakumei pursuit as he left the nation. The two teens became the first students of Hyūga Yatako, the man who would one day be Hokage.

::On their journey away from the Land of Coal, Mizumono chanced upon a blade that would serve to facilitate great change in her life: the legendary blade of cherry blossoms, Senbonzakura. Though she had not yet unlocked its inherent potential, Mizumono trained alongside Yatako and Suzuke until she had honed herself into a weapon worthy of holding Konohagakure no Sato's war banner. However, as she grew stronger, so too did Kaosu's influence upon her mind. He took hold of her already fragile ego and caused her to flee her friend and teacher, ultimately regaining full control of herself only when she had crossed into the Land of Water.

::Within Mizu no Kuni, the fleeing Hyūga encountered a group of Konohagakure genin who mistook her for a proper member of the N.C.I.A. They did battle, but ultimately fell to her blade. Still recovering from the fracture that Kaosu had delivered to her psyche, she acted drastically and slew one of the unconscious genin as an example that would keep the others from risking their lives against her yet again. Before she could make off with her newly found prisoners, Mizumono was interrupted by their jonin and promptly defeated. She had explained only part of her situation, indicating that she was a member of the Konohagakure Resistance who had been mistaken as a Kumogakure Shinobi and was merely defending herself. The jonin cautiously took her word and allowed her to join their group for the time.

::The group barely had time to bury their fallen comrade before they were ushered onto a boat and sent back toward the Land of Fire. Aboard this boat, Mizumono experienced the telepathic touch of Senbonzakura for the first time; she learned of the blade's powers, its name, and some small measure of the creature that it once had been. Though she was not able to discern whether or not it was actually the blade speaking to her, she accepted its power with no further questioning. She barely had time to practice fighting with the blade's released state before the group of shinobi were called to the ship's deck. There, Mizumono saw a face she never expected to witness again: Shodaan. He had been obviously drugged, but was resisting captivity. The jonin that had allowed her continued survival explained to her that he posed a threat to their resistance, as he was a member of the criminal organization Hakumei. In order to prove her loyalty to the resistance movement, she was told that she would be the teen's executioner. Not wanting to take his life so callously, she agreed only if she could fight him to the death, even despite his impairments. Their battle was short lived- Shodaan opted to blow himself up in a grand display of strength rather than be slain by the hands of another.

::Shortly after the fateful encounter, the boat docked and allowed the group of Konohagkaure shinobi to reach their destination: a small town known as Kinomi no Toshi. They arrived to convene with a larger group of Resistance shinobi, only to be ambushed by a large NCIA Hunter-Ninja force. Though the battle was split into many potion, Mizumono utilized the newly found powers of her blade to eliminate a large quantity of the force... as well as her own team-mates. Once again, her mind crumbled beneath a schism of many interests; as she had done all of her life, she fled.

===Chapter III; The Shattered Hero===

::Mizumono fled from battle after battle in an attempt to find a quiet place to repair herself and make sense of the myriad of voices that clamored loudly now within her mind. She had found such no such a place-- instead, her attempts to find peace had lead her to the heart of war. She appeared in Nigiyakashufu as the Rebellion was reaching its crescendo. The leaders of each individual nation had gathered together alongside their forces for a final push to defeat the Raikage and oust the Empire's fell control once and for all. Seeing this as an opportunity to redeem herself, Mizumono joined the battle.

::While the leaders of each nation's resistance forces were engaged with the Raikage and his elite generals, Mizumono pitted herself against a potent woman with pumpkin-colored eyes. The woman was able to suspend Senbonzakura's petals amidst a torrent of wind and nearly defeated Mizumono, but was ultimately overturned when the girl tapped into Kaosu's sealed chakra and collapsed the woman's chakra circulatory system.

::After the battle, Mizumono met up again with Yatako and subjected herself to his judgment in an attempt to atone for the great misdeeds she had done over the course of the war. Seeming to want to put it all behind the world, Yatako agreed to absolve her of her crimes if she would pledge her blade to ousting the last remnants of the NCIA from Hi no Kuni. She agreed without hesitation and set out to Konohagakure while Yatako himself took the majority of the remaining Konohagakure resistance forces to Hotarunoshi.

::With Senbonzakura at her side, Mizumono pushed the remaining NCIA forces out of Konohagakure, unceremoniously ridding the nation of its last bits of Kumogakure taint. In doing so, she became decorated as a War Hero and was afforded the right to rejoin Konohagakure as a jonin and ANBU member; she accepted and attempted to return to a normal life.

===Chapter IV; A Matter of Chance===

::Despite all of her best efforts to bring her sins to a close, Mizumono remained haunted by the many personalities that gripped her mind at any moment that she let her guard down. Slowly, over several months, her sanity waned and withered away, leaving her a twisted husk of a human. She was admitted into a hospital and cared for, though no progress was made until a fateful night in which she overpowered her orderlies and escaped the hospital. The girl, confused and caught within a haze of too many voices, lost herself in the forests that surrounded Konohagakure no Sato.

::When she awoke, her thoughts were frighteningly clear-- and silent. She could not appreciate this fact, however, as she did not have any recollection of any of the events of the war or months thereafter. While wandering the forest, lost, she met an unlikely savor: Uchiha Ozaku. The boy guided her back to town and attempted to decipher who she was and where she came from. Birds of a feather, the two bonded almost immediately after spending the day together. As night began to fall, Mizumono lost consciousness yet again and unconsciously allowed Kaosu to take control of her body. For the first time, he did not immediately force her to flee or carry on his bloodthirsty vengeance. Instead, the boy-spirit explained to Ozaku what had happened to Mizumono and that he had slowly fallen in love with her over the years they spent together. After she had broken open his seal in Nigiyakashufu, his chakra was bleeding from her and he would soon be gone. He used the last of his chakra to create a narcoleptic fail-safe within the girl; any time her mind became overwhelmed by her splintered personalities, she would fall into a deep sleep. Kaosu passed on the burden of taking care of Mizumono to Ozaku and, as suddenly as he appeared, he vanished from her body.

::In the years thereafter, Ozaku served as her guardian, her confidant, and eventually her lover. For a time, she was allowed a relatively normal life. Though time was a salve for some, it eventually proved to be Mizumono's undoing. Her bouts of narcolepsy increased dramatically over time, leading Ozaku to reveal her unique condition to the doctors that she had been seeing about the matter. An extensive analysis of her brain thereafter revealed that the unhinging of Kaosu's seal in addition to the condition he had instated within her had caused increasing amounts of damage to her brain. The result of which was that the flares of her alternate personas came with increasing frequency, resulting in the sleeping seal triggering more often, which in turn continued to damage her brain. Though the outlook seemed grim for Mizumono, she was approached by an enigmatic pragmatist of a doctor who offered to her a unique and experimental treatment. He claimed to have studied the ability of certain types of chakra to reverse and regenerate damaged tissue, but that it given the brain's interconnection throughout the body, he would have to implement the procedure on the entirety of her body. The result of this procedure was clear: her physical form would be reverted to whatever state it was in before Kaosu's original seal had been implemented. She would become young and rejuvenated, though she would lose the majority of the memories that she had formed between then and now. Mizumono agreed to his terms and allowed the procedure to be done.

===Chapter V; A Titan Reborn===

::After recovering from the procedure that had reverted her age many years, Mizumono found herself curious and confused. Ozaku explained much of what he knew of her last several years and why she had agreed to undergo it. Though hesitant, she accepted his explanation and returned home with the boy. Though her new and altered state prevented their relationship from continuing as it had previously, Ozaku began to look over her as a mentor and a guardian, teaching her all that he could to help her return to the life she once had.

::Though her abilities have diminished severely as a byproduct of the treatment, Mizumono has again embraced the way of the Shinobi and now seeks to hone her skills so that she may one day find those that she hurt and repent for the misdeeds of her illness.

== Personality ==
:Mizumono, in the current era, is a changed individual. Once broken, then crazed, now optimistic; this Hyūga girl is in many ways the person that she was never allowed to be in the past. She is excitable and optimistic, always preferring to look for the bright side of a bad situation and the light of decency in those she interacts with. She is friendly and mostly polite, though enjoys playfully teasing those she befriends at every given opportunity. Despite, or perhaps due to, the severity of the life that she has been made to live, Mizumono possesses an incredibly lighthearted outlook on life and tends to view almost everything as a game or a competition. Though she greatly enjoys competitive sport, she typically accepts loss in stride and savors learning from each defeat.

:She is a highly selfless individual, frequently pushing herself beyond her natural means to help someone in any amount of distress. Valuing friendship above all else, she places the well being of her friends and companions well above her own- a facet of her personality that often sees her taking the blame for others' mishaps or facing injury in place of another.

:Due to the extensive medical work that she has undergone in recent years, much of the instability in her personality has all but vanished. She no longer has bouts of alternative personas taking hold of her mind, nor is she incredibly susceptible to psychotic breaks caused by her own formerly splintering persona. The nature of her affliction, however, is not entirely able to be cured and consequently leaves her with still occasional flashes of memories from before her treatment and those fabricated memories of the differing personas that once inhabited her mind.

== Appearance ==
:In previous years, Mizumono preferred her hair to be cropped short with messy and uneven cuts, using her very appearance as a means to rebel against the heavy-handed manipulations of her family. Time had mended her need for rebellion and allowed her to begin wearing her hair straightened and unadorned as she grew into adulthood. With her physical form reverted and a mind now mostly mended, she has taken to a combination of the two styles that help her to reclaim a bit of who she once was. Her corvid stands are now worn tied into a high ponytail with messy bangs allowed to hang at either side of her expression, framing her the sharp features of her face. Her eyes are sharply formed, but bright with inquisitive energy; it is not uncommon to see her eyes crinkling with a wide and infectious smile. Though shimmering with continual excitement, the ashen hue of Mizumono's gaze often gives her the appearance that she is looking through or past an individual rather than at them.

:Despite having her body subject to the strange flows of age manipulation, the petite kunoichi remains very much as she ever was. The creme hue of her skin is stretched taught over well toned musculature indicative of a considerable amount of physical training. She is diminutive and svelte, holding soft and subtle slopes that indicate that she has yet again to travel through the entirety of her growth into woman-hood. Her features are fine and well formed, granting her an aesthetic of budding elegance.

===Civilian Attire===
::The civilian attire of this particular Hyūga is modest and proper. She prefers wearing a large assortment of traditionally crafted yukata when the weather permits such weather, and often even when it does not. Beneath this, she usually wears clashing sports-wear that allows her to spring free from the tight trappings of her public regalia if the situation calls such for it. She has shown a great preference to the colors of red and white as well as floral designs.

===Mission Attire===
::The battle garb of a shinobi varies wildly from wearer to wearer as well as between regions. In the case of Mizumono, she tends to prefer traditional styles with modern ones. She typically wears a short kimono with long, wide sleeves that allow her to obscure the motions of her hands and arms with ease. She wears her shinobi vestments over top of this kimono, preferring those flak jackets and armoring that have little ornamentation and instead are selected with simply to math the coloration of her attire. She wears standard shinobi sandals of the variation that stretch up the length of her legs, stopping midway up her thighs. Given that she was previously well known as an imperial criminal and a key member of Konohagakure's resistance movement, she has taken to wearing masks when outside of the village as to prevent former enemies from exploiting her recent decrease in strength.

== Part I ==

== Trivia ==
::''General Knowledge; IC''
:* "Mizumono" translates into "Matter of Chance" (lit. Matter of Water)
:* Mizumono was considered an S-Rank Missing Nin by the NCIA, despite being only a Chuunin
:* Mizumono is typically avoided by other veterans of the Konohagakure liberation, given her previous status as a dangerous and mentally unbalanced shinobi
:* Since meeting Uchiha Ozaku, Mizumono's mental state has been on the mend- her most ridiculous outbursts in recent times have only involved long and multi-sided debates about what foods to have at a buffet or snack stall.
:* Mizumono's first crush was on Darksol Anima.

== Quotes ==

:* "''I don't even remember the name of this village... what makes you think that I'd possibly know where to buy clothes?''"
:* "''Zaku! Tell your soul to stop moving!''"
:* "''Hear that, everyone? We're running away. If you'd like to disagree, just let me know-- I don't mind dragging your unconscious body with me. I've got no desire to be the death of any more of you kids.''"
:* "''Whoa there! Going right for the kill isn't any way to make friends, you know!''"

== OOC Trivia ==
::''Private Knowledge; OOC''
:* Mizumono's father is alive, but has gone missing since the end of the war. She has tried to locate him, to no avail.
:* Mizumono suffers from mild Schizophrenia and Dis-associative Identity Disorder, presumed to be both the fault of invasive sealing techniques and her "breeding plan".
:* Mizumono formerly had the vengeful soul of a murdered Uchiha sealed within her, whose desire for revenge was used as a counterbalance to drown out her other personas.
:* The aforementioned Uchiha's seal has since worn off, leaving him primarily vacant from the girl's mind. The remainder of the chakra within the seal has been re-purposed to minimize the effects of her D.I.D.

::''The Meta; OOC''
:* Mizumono was originally based on Alia Atreides from Frank Herbert's DUNE series. Her multiple-personalities were originally meant to be genetic memory, though the notion was eventually abandoned in lieu of a more practical and less "meta-game" approach.
:* The Uchiha sealed within her, Uchiha Kaosu, was a former PC of [[Hardcore Skittlez]], and was used originally as a plot device to give Mizumono reason to pursue Kaosu's murderer, Uchiha Mizujin. Despite that, Mizumono and Mizujin have not had any in-character encounters.
:* Mizumono's combat prowess was so great that her later encounters were steered away from stat battles so that she would not end the fights too quickly or decisively.
:* Mizumono is the reason that the equipment stat-bonus rule was implemented, as she accumulated a great sum of money and had artificially inflated her level through item stats by nearly 30 levels.

<b>Hyūga Mizumono</b> (日向水物, Mizumono Hyūga) is a Genin of Konohagakure no Sato. She once suffered from extreme Dissassociative Identity Disorder and was subject to a highly experimental treatment that resulted in the reduction of her physical age and consequently the removal of her memory. Before her treatment, she was a potent Jōnin of Konohagakure, a member of the ANBU, and War Hero. In her prime, Mizumono was both incredibly powerful and incredibly volatile; if she was caught during a psychotic episode, it was very likely that anyone nearby would perish. She is most well known for single-handedly pushing the remaining NCIA forces out of Konohagakure(while [[Hyuuga Yatako]] liberated the Country of Fire as a whole) and for her deadly participation in the battle at [[Kinomi no Toshi]].

== Background ==
===Chapter I; The Best Laid Plans===

::Rinnegan. Tenseigan. These were legends, ideals, impossibilities within the mortal realm, and yet, it was seen that time and again such surfaced to those of impeccable heritage and proper circumstance. These unobtainable, noble, eyes were the motivation that drove a sect of the Hyūga clan to launch an expansive breeding plan to perfect their already immaculate line. This plan, carefully executed and protected as a secret among secrets, resulted in the eventual birth of Hyūga Mizumono. Her birth did not signify the greatest of glories returning to the Hyūga-- no, it in fact was a harbinger for failure. She was to be the ultimate culmination of their work and meticulous social engineering, but was instead a simple, if not inquisitive, child. The hope that had resided in her genes, however, was not abandoned by all; her father, seeking to continue the project and strive for perfection that seemed attainable only by the legends of old, sought to salvage her lineage that she might mother the child that would shine naught but light upon the already illustrious clan. For this, he required the girl's survival; she was taught the basics of Shinobi Combat and, when the time came, was held back from proper graduation for more personalized training. She was restricted to the clan estate and privately trained, allowed to grow stronger but not to participate in any activity that would require the proof of her skills. It was during these times of dull peace that the first of her 'symptoms' of her heritage began to show- she manifested various other, erratic, personalities and interacted with them as though she were playing with ghosts about the estate. In an attempt to salvage her mind long enough to carry on her line, the girl's father engaged in a great taboo and struck a deal with a dying boy. Uchiha Kaosu was to be sealed within Mizumono's mind as a ward against the slow deterioration of her mind in exchange for the ability to seek revenge against the cousin who had been his undoing. Unknown to her father, this singular action would bring Mizumono to the precipice of death time and time again when Kaosu proved that his loyalties lie entirely with himself and not with the terms of their original agreement.

::Within the very same year, Kumogakure no Sato launched their mad blitz that conquered most of the known world. Again, in an attempt to preserve the world that had resulted in Mizumono's birth, she was handed to the N.C.I.A to join the ranks and protection of their organized and potent military force. Within the ranks of the Imperial military, Mizumono became acquainted with her first and best friends: Nenshou Toko and Darksol Anima. Though she had finally obtained friends of her own, Mizumono grew to be concerned for the well being of her family and returned to Konohagakure to investigate how it had fared in the year since her departure.

===Chapter II; Sunset on Sanity===

::After returning to Konohagakure, Mizumono found that the village was in tatters. Despite having barely recovered from the blitzkrieg, the remaining members of Konoha's shinobi force had taken up arms against their occupants, attempting to oust them from their precious nation. Though it was a hard fought battle, the rebellion was ultimately quashed and disbanded. She heard of what had happened from the brother of Hyūga Yatako, who then instructed her to find the prodigal cousin and learn from him, that she might one day lift Konoha's banner in a renewed resistance. Though she did not consider herself much of a revolutionary, she took the call to arms and decided that if anything was worth fighting for, it was home.

::Her search for Yatako brought her to the Land of Coal, where she was met by Amshiro Suzuke and his partner, Shodaan. These two boys were fresh members of a newly formed organization known as Hakumei, the spiritual successor to the once infamous mercenary organization "Akatsuki". Though Shodaan's loyalty to Hakumei was unwavering, Suzuke had been questioning their motives for some time and slowly grew to become friends with Mizumono. He had decided that their draconic methods were not those that he wished to employ and helped the young Hyūga locate Yatako, who arranged for Suzuke's death to be impersonated that he could be free of Hakumei pursuit as he left the nation. The two teens became the first students of Hyūga Yatako, the man who would one day be Hokage.

::On their journey away from the Land of Coal, Mizumono chanced upon a blade that would serve to facilitate great change in her life: the legendary blade of cherry blossoms, Senbonzakura. Though she had not yet unlocked its inherent potential, Mizumono trained alongside Yatako and Suzuke until she had honed herself into a weapon worthy of holding Konohagakure no Sato's war banner. However, as she grew stronger, so too did Kaosu's influence upon her mind. He took hold of her already fragile ego and caused her to flee her friend and teacher, ultimately regaining full control of herself only when she had crossed into the Land of Water.

::Within Mizu no Kuni, the fleeing Hyūga encountered a group of Konohagakure genin who mistook her for a proper member of the N.C.I.A. They did battle, but ultimately fell to her blade. Still recovering from the fracture that Kaosu had delivered to her psyche, she acted drastically and slew one of the unconscious genin as an example that would keep the others from risking their lives against her yet again. Before she could make off with her newly found prisoners, Mizumono was interrupted by their jonin and promptly defeated. She had explained only part of her situation, indicating that she was a member of the Konohagakure Resistance who had been mistaken as a Kumogakure Shinobi and was merely defending herself. The jonin cautiously took her word and allowed her to join their group for the time.

::The group barely had time to bury their fallen comrade before they were ushered onto a boat and sent back toward the Land of Fire. Aboard this boat, Mizumono experienced the telepathic touch of Senbonzakura for the first time; she learned of the blade's powers, its name, and some small measure of the creature that it once had been. Though she was not able to discern whether or not it was actually the blade speaking to her, she accepted its power with no further questioning. She barely had time to practice fighting with the blade's released state before the group of shinobi were called to the ship's deck. There, Mizumono saw a face she never expected to witness again: Shodaan. He had been obviously drugged, but was resisting captivity. The jonin that had allowed her continued survival explained to her that he posed a threat to their resistance, as he was a member of the criminal organization Hakumei. In order to prove her loyalty to the resistance movement, she was told that she would be the teen's executioner. Not wanting to take his life so callously, she agreed only if she could fight him to the death, even despite his impairments. Their battle was short lived- Shodaan opted to blow himself up in a grand display of strength rather than be slain by the hands of another.

::Shortly after the fateful encounter, the boat docked and allowed the group of Konohagkaure shinobi to reach their destination: a small town known as Kinomi no Toshi. They arrived to convene with a larger group of Resistance shinobi, only to be ambushed by a large NCIA Hunter-Ninja force. Though the battle was split into many potion, Mizumono utilized the newly found powers of her blade to eliminate a large quantity of the force... as well as her own team-mates. Once again, her mind crumbled beneath a schism of many interests; as she had done all of her life, she fled.

===Chapter III; The Shattered Hero===

::Mizumono fled from battle after battle in an attempt to find a quiet place to repair herself and make sense of the myriad of voices that clamored loudly now within her mind. She had found such no such a place-- instead, her attempts to find peace had lead her to the heart of war. She appeared in Nigiyakashufu as the Rebellion was reaching its crescendo. The leaders of each individual nation had gathered together alongside their forces for a final push to defeat the Raikage and oust the Empire's fell control once and for all. Seeing this as an opportunity to redeem herself, Mizumono joined the battle.

::While the leaders of each nation's resistance forces were engaged with the Raikage and his elite generals, Mizumono pitted herself against a potent woman with pumpkin-colored eyes. The woman was able to suspend Senbonzakura's petals amidst a torrent of wind and nearly defeated Mizumono, but was ultimately overturned when the girl tapped into Kaosu's sealed chakra and collapsed the woman's chakra circulatory system.

::After the battle, Mizumono met up again with Yatako and subjected herself to his judgment in an attempt to atone for the great misdeeds she had done over the course of the war. Seeming to want to put it all behind the world, Yatako agreed to absolve her of her crimes if she would pledge her blade to ousting the last remnants of the NCIA from Hi no Kuni. She agreed without hesitation and set out to Konohagakure while Yatako himself took the majority of the remaining Konohagakure resistance forces to Hotarunoshi.

::With Senbonzakura at her side, Mizumono pushed the remaining NCIA forces out of Konohagakure, unceremoniously ridding the nation of its last bits of Kumogakure taint. In doing so, she became decorated as a War Hero and was afforded the right to rejoin Konohagakure as a jonin and ANBU member; she accepted and attempted to return to a normal life.

===Chapter IV; A Matter of Chance===

::Despite all of her best efforts to bring her sins to a close, Mizumono remained haunted by the many personalities that gripped her mind at any moment that she let her guard down. Slowly, over several months, her sanity waned and withered away, leaving her a twisted husk of a human. She was admitted into a hospital and cared for, though no progress was made until a fateful night in which she overpowered her orderlies and escaped the hospital. The girl, confused and caught within a haze of too many voices, lost herself in the forests that surrounded Konohagakure no Sato.

::When she awoke, her thoughts were frighteningly clear-- and silent. She could not appreciate this fact, however, as she did not have any recollection of any of the events of the war or months thereafter. While wandering the forest, lost, she met an unlikely savor: Uchiha Ozaku. The boy guided her back to town and attempted to decipher who she was and where she came from. Birds of a feather, the two bonded almost immediately after spending the day together. As night began to fall, Mizumono lost consciousness yet again and unconsciously allowed Kaosu to take control of her body. For the first time, he did not immediately force her to flee or carry on his bloodthirsty vengeance. Instead, the boy-spirit explained to Ozaku what had happened to Mizumono and that he had slowly fallen in love with her over the years they spent together. After she had broken open his seal in Nigiyakashufu, his chakra was bleeding from her and he would soon be gone. He used the last of his chakra to create a narcoleptic fail-safe within the girl; any time her mind became overwhelmed by her splintered personalities, she would fall into a deep sleep. Kaosu passed on the burden of taking care of Mizumono to Ozaku and, as suddenly as he appeared, he vanished from her body.

::In the years thereafter, Ozaku served as her guardian, her confidant, and eventually her lover. For a time, she was allowed a relatively normal life. Though time was a salve for some, it eventually proved to be Mizumono's undoing. Her bouts of narcolepsy increased dramatically over time, leading Ozaku to reveal her unique condition to the doctors that she had been seeing about the matter. An extensive analysis of her brain thereafter revealed that the unhinging of Kaosu's seal in addition to the condition he had instated within her had caused increasing amounts of damage to her brain. The result of which was that the flares of her alternate personas came with increasing frequency, resulting in the sleeping seal triggering more often, which in turn continued to damage her brain. Though the outlook seemed grim for Mizumono, she was approached by an enigmatic pragmatist of a doctor who offered to her a unique and experimental treatment. He claimed to have studied the ability of certain types of chakra to reverse and regenerate damaged tissue, but that it given the brain's interconnection throughout the body, he would have to implement the procedure on the entirety of her body. The result of this procedure was clear: her physical form would be reverted to whatever state it was in before Kaosu's original seal had been implemented. She would become young and rejuvenated, though she would lose the majority of the memories that she had formed between then and now. Mizumono agreed to his terms and allowed the procedure to be done.

===Chapter V; A Titan Reborn===

::After recovering from the procedure that had reverted her age many years, Mizumono found herself curious and confused. Ozaku explained much of what he knew of her last several years and why she had agreed to undergo it. Though hesitant, she accepted his explanation and returned home with the boy. Though her new and altered state prevented their relationship from continuing as it had previously, Ozaku began to look over her as a mentor and a guardian, teaching her all that he could to help her return to the life she once had.

::Though her abilities have diminished severely as a byproduct of the treatment, Mizumono has again embraced the way of the Shinobi and now seeks to hone her skills so that she may one day find those that she hurt and repent for the misdeeds of her illness.

== Personality ==
:Mizumono, in the current era, is a changed individual. Once broken, then crazed, now optimistic; this Hyūga girl is in many ways the person that she was never allowed to be in the past. She is excitable and optimistic, always preferring to look for the bright side of a bad situation and the light of decency in those she interacts with. She is friendly and mostly polite, though enjoys playfully teasing those she befriends at every given opportunity. Despite, or perhaps due to, the severity of the life that she has been made to live, Mizumono possesses an incredibly lighthearted outlook on life and tends to view almost everything as a game or a competition. Though she greatly enjoys competitive sport, she typically accepts loss in stride and savors learning from each defeat.

:She is a highly selfless individual, frequently pushing herself beyond her natural means to help someone in any amount of distress. Valuing friendship above all else, she places the well being of her friends and companions well above her own- a facet of her personality that often sees her taking the blame for others' mishaps or facing injury in place of another.

:Due to the extensive medical work that she has undergone in recent years, much of the instability in her personality has all but vanished. She no longer has bouts of alternative personas taking hold of her mind, nor is she incredibly susceptible to psychotic breaks caused by her own formerly splintering persona. The nature of her affliction, however, is not entirely able to be cured and consequently leaves her with still occasional flashes of memories from before her treatment and those fabricated memories of the differing personas that once inhabited her mind.

== Appearance ==
:In previous years, Mizumono preferred her hair to be cropped short with messy and uneven cuts, using her very appearance as a means to rebel against the heavy-handed manipulations of her family. Time had mended her need for rebellion and allowed her to begin wearing her hair straightened and unadorned as she grew into adulthood. With her physical form reverted and a mind now mostly mended, she has taken to a combination of the two styles that help her to reclaim a bit of who she once was. Her corvid stands are now worn tied into a high ponytail with messy bangs allowed to hang at either side of her expression, framing her the sharp features of her face. Her eyes are sharply formed, but bright with inquisitive energy; it is not uncommon to see her eyes crinkling with a wide and infectious smile. Though shimmering with continual excitement, the ashen hue of Mizumono's gaze often gives her the appearance that she is looking through or past an individual rather than at them.

:Despite having her body subject to the strange flows of age manipulation, the petite kunoichi remains very much as she ever was. The creme hue of her skin is stretched taught over well toned musculature indicative of a considerable amount of physical training. She is diminutive and svelte, holding soft and subtle slopes that indicate that she has yet again to travel through the entirety of her growth into woman-hood. Her features are fine and well formed, granting her an aesthetic of budding elegance.

===Civilian Attire===
::The civilian attire of this particular Hyūga is modest and proper. She prefers wearing a large assortment of traditionally crafted yukata when the weather permits such weather, and often even when it does not. Beneath this, she usually wears clashing sports-wear that allows her to spring free from the tight trappings of her public regalia if the situation calls such for it. She has shown a great preference to the colors of red and white as well as floral designs.

===Mission Attire===
::The battle garb of a shinobi varies wildly from wearer to wearer as well as between regions. In the case of Mizumono, she tends to prefer traditional styles with modern ones. She typically wears a short kimono with long, wide sleeves that allow her to obscure the motions of her hands and arms with ease. She wears her shinobi vestments over top of this kimono, preferring those flak jackets and armoring that have little ornamentation and instead are selected with simply to math the coloration of her attire. She wears standard shinobi sandals of the variation that stretch up the length of her legs, stopping midway up her thighs. Given that she was previously well known as an imperial criminal and a key member of Konohagakure's resistance movement, she has taken to wearing masks when outside of the village as to prevent former enemies from exploiting her recent decrease in strength.

== Part I ==

== Trivia ==
::''General Knowledge; IC''
:* "Mizumono" translates into "Matter of Chance" (lit. Matter of Water)
:* Mizumono was considered an S-Rank Missing Nin by the NCIA, despite being only a Chuunin
:* Mizumono is typically avoided by other veterans of the Konohagakure liberation, given her previous status as a dangerous and mentally unbalanced shinobi
:* Since meeting Uchiha Ozaku, Mizumono's mental state has been on the mend- her most ridiculous outbursts in recent times have only involved long and multi-sided debates about what foods to have at a buffet or snack stall.
:* Mizumono's first crush was on Darksol Anima.

== Quotes ==

:* "''I don't even remember the name of this village... what makes you think that I'd possibly know where to buy clothes?''"
:* "''Zaku! Tell your soul to stop moving!''"
:* "''Hear that, everyone? We're running away. If you'd like to disagree, just let me know-- I don't mind dragging your unconscious body with me. I've got no desire to be the death of any more of you kids.''"
:* "''Whoa there! Going right for the kill isn't any way to make friends, you know!''"

== OOC Trivia ==
::''Private Knowledge; OOC''
:* Mizumono's father is alive, but has gone missing since the end of the war. She has tried to locate him, to no avail.
:* Mizumono suffers from mild Schizophrenia and Dis-associative Identity Disorder, presumed to be both the fault of invasive sealing techniques and her "breeding plan".
:* Mizumono formerly had the vengeful soul of a murdered Uchiha sealed within her, whose desire for revenge was used as a counterbalance to drown out her other personas.
:* The aforementioned Uchiha's seal has since worn off, leaving him primarily vacant from the girl's mind. The remainder of the chakra within the seal has been re-purposed to minimize the effects of her D.I.D.

::''The Meta; OOC''
:* Mizumono was originally based on Alia Atreides from Frank Herbert's DUNE series. Her multiple-personalities were originally meant to be genetic memory, though the notion was eventually abandoned in lieu of a more practical and less "meta-game" approach.
:* The Uchiha sealed within her, Uchiha Kaosu, was a former PC of [[Hardcore Skittlez]], and was used originally as a plot device to give Mizumono reason to pursue Kaosu's murderer, Uchiha Mizujin. Despite that, Mizumono and Mizujin have not had any in-character encounters.
:* Mizumono's combat prowess was so great that her later encounters were steered away from stat battles so that she would not end the fights too quickly or decisively.
:* Mizumono is the reason that the equipment stat-bonus rule was implemented, as she accumulated a great sum of money and had artificially inflated her level through item stats by nearly 30 levels.

<b>Hyūga Mizumono</b> (日向水物, Mizumono Hyūga) is a Genin of Konohagakure no Sato. She once suffered from extreme Dissassociative Identity Disorder and was subject to a highly experimental treatment that resulted in the reduction of her physical age and consequently the removal of her memory. Before her treatment, she was a potent Jōnin of Konohagakure, a member of the ANBU, and War Hero. In her prime, Mizumono was both incredibly powerful and incredibly volatile; if she was caught during a psychotic episode, it was very likely that anyone nearby would perish. She is most well known for single-handedly pushing the remaining NCIA forces out of Konohagakure(while [[Hyuuga Yatako]] liberated the Country of Fire as a whole) and for her deadly participation in the battle at [[Kinomi no Toshi]].

== Background ==
===Chapter I; The Best Laid Plans===

::Rinnegan. Tenseigan. These were legends, ideals, impossibilities within the mortal realm, and yet, it was seen that time and again such surfaced to those of impeccable heritage and proper circumstance. These unobtainable, noble, eyes were the motivation that drove a sect of the Hyūga clan to launch an expansive breeding plan to perfect their already immaculate line. This plan, carefully executed and protected as a secret among secrets, resulted in the eventual birth of Hyūga Mizumono. Her birth did not signify the greatest of glories returning to the Hyūga-- no, it in fact was a harbinger for failure. She was to be the ultimate culmination of their work and meticulous social engineering, but was instead a simple, if not inquisitive, child. The hope that had resided in her genes, however, was not abandoned by all; her father, seeking to continue the project and strive for perfection that seemed attainable only by the legends of old, sought to salvage her lineage that she might mother the child that would shine naught but light upon the already illustrious clan. For this, he required the girl's survival; she was taught the basics of Shinobi Combat and, when the time came, was held back from proper graduation for more personalized training. She was restricted to the clan estate and privately trained, allowed to grow stronger but not to participate in any activity that would require the proof of her skills. It was during these times of dull peace that the first of her 'symptoms' of her heritage began to show- she manifested various other, erratic, personalities and interacted with them as though she were playing with ghosts about the estate. In an attempt to salvage her mind long enough to carry on her line, the girl's father engaged in a great taboo and struck a deal with a dying boy. Uchiha Kaosu was to be sealed within Mizumono's mind as a ward against the slow deterioration of her mind in exchange for the ability to seek revenge against the cousin who had been his undoing. Unknown to her father, this singular action would bring Mizumono to the precipice of death time and time again when Kaosu proved that his loyalties lie entirely with himself and not with the terms of their original agreement.

::Within the very same year, Kumogakure no Sato launched their mad blitz that conquered most of the known world. Again, in an attempt to preserve the world that had resulted in Mizumono's birth, she was handed to the N.C.I.A to join the ranks and protection of their organized and potent military force. Within the ranks of the Imperial military, Mizumono became acquainted with her first and best friends: Nenshou Toko and Darksol Anima. Though she had finally obtained friends of her own, Mizumono grew to be concerned for the well being of her family and returned to Konohagakure to investigate how it had fared in the year since her departure.

===Chapter II; Sunset on Sanity===

::After returning to Konohagakure, Mizumono found that the village was in tatters. Despite having barely recovered from the blitzkrieg, the remaining members of Konoha's shinobi force had taken up arms against their occupants, attempting to oust them from their precious nation. Though it was a hard fought battle, the rebellion was ultimately quashed and disbanded. She heard of what had happened from the brother of Hyūga Yatako, who then instructed her to find the prodigal cousin and learn from him, that she might one day lift Konoha's banner in a renewed resistance. Though she did not consider herself much of a revolutionary, she took the call to arms and decided that if anything was worth fighting for, it was home.

::Her search for Yatako brought her to the Land of Coal, where she was met by Amshiro Suzuke and his partner, Shodaan. These two boys were fresh members of a newly formed organization known as Hakumei, the spiritual successor to the once infamous mercenary organization "Akatsuki". Though Shodaan's loyalty to Hakumei was unwavering, Suzuke had been questioning their motives for some time and slowly grew to become friends with Mizumono. He had decided that their draconic methods were not those that he wished to employ and helped the young Hyūga locate Yatako, who arranged for Suzuke's death to be impersonated that he could be free of Hakumei pursuit as he left the nation. The two teens became the first students of Hyūga Yatako, the man who would one day be Hokage.

::On their journey away from the Land of Coal, Mizumono chanced upon a blade that would serve to facilitate great change in her life: the legendary blade of cherry blossoms, Senbonzakura. Though she had not yet unlocked its inherent potential, Mizumono trained alongside Yatako and Suzuke until she had honed herself into a weapon worthy of holding Konohagakure no Sato's war banner. However, as she grew stronger, so too did Kaosu's influence upon her mind. He took hold of her already fragile ego and caused her to flee her friend and teacher, ultimately regaining full control of herself only when she had crossed into the Land of Water.

::Within Mizu no Kuni, the fleeing Hyūga encountered a group of Konohagakure genin who mistook her for a proper member of the N.C.I.A. They did battle, but ultimately fell to her blade. Still recovering from the fracture that Kaosu had delivered to her psyche, she acted drastically and slew one of the unconscious genin as an example that would keep the others from risking their lives against her yet again. Before she could make off with her newly found prisoners, Mizumono was interrupted by their jonin and promptly defeated. She had explained only part of her situation, indicating that she was a member of the Konohagakure Resistance who had been mistaken as a Kumogakure Shinobi and was merely defending herself. The jonin cautiously took her word and allowed her to join their group for the time.

::The group barely had time to bury their fallen comrade before they were ushered onto a boat and sent back toward the Land of Fire. Aboard this boat, Mizumono experienced the telepathic touch of Senbonzakura for the first time; she learned of the blade's powers, its name, and some small measure of the creature that it once had been. Though she was not able to discern whether or not it was actually the blade speaking to her, she accepted its power with no further questioning. She barely had time to practice fighting with the blade's released state before the group of shinobi were called to the ship's deck. There, Mizumono saw a face she never expected to witness again: Shodaan. He had been obviously drugged, but was resisting captivity. The jonin that had allowed her continued survival explained to her that he posed a threat to their resistance, as he was a member of the criminal organization Hakumei. In order to prove her loyalty to the resistance movement, she was told that she would be the teen's executioner. Not wanting to take his life so callously, she agreed only if she could fight him to the death, even despite his impairments. Their battle was short lived- Shodaan opted to blow himself up in a grand display of strength rather than be slain by the hands of another.

::Shortly after the fateful encounter, the boat docked and allowed the group of Konohagkaure shinobi to reach their destination: a small town known as Kinomi no Toshi. They arrived to convene with a larger group of Resistance shinobi, only to be ambushed by a large NCIA Hunter-Ninja force. Though the battle was split into many potion, Mizumono utilized the newly found powers of her blade to eliminate a large quantity of the force... as well as her own team-mates. Once again, her mind crumbled beneath a schism of many interests; as she had done all of her life, she fled.

===Chapter III; The Shattered Hero===

::Mizumono fled from battle after battle in an attempt to find a quiet place to repair herself and make sense of the myriad of voices that clamored loudly now within her mind. She had found such no such a place-- instead, her attempts to find peace had lead her to the heart of war. She appeared in Nigiyakashufu as the Rebellion was reaching its crescendo. The leaders of each individual nation had gathered together alongside their forces for a final push to defeat the Raikage and oust the Empire's fell control once and for all. Seeing this as an opportunity to redeem herself, Mizumono joined the battle.

::While the leaders of each nation's resistance forces were engaged with the Raikage and his elite generals, Mizumono pitted herself against a potent woman with pumpkin-colored eyes. The woman was able to suspend Senbonzakura's petals amidst a torrent of wind and nearly defeated Mizumono, but was ultimately overturned when the girl tapped into Kaosu's sealed chakra and collapsed the woman's chakra circulatory system.

::After the battle, Mizumono met up again with Yatako and subjected herself to his judgment in an attempt to atone for the great misdeeds she had done over the course of the war. Seeming to want to put it all behind the world, Yatako agreed to absolve her of her crimes if she would pledge her blade to ousting the last remnants of the NCIA from Hi no Kuni. She agreed without hesitation and set out to Konohagakure while Yatako himself took the majority of the remaining Konohagakure resistance forces to Hotarunoshi.

::With Senbonzakura at her side, Mizumono pushed the remaining NCIA forces out of Konohagakure, unceremoniously ridding the nation of its last bits of Kumogakure taint. In doing so, she became decorated as a War Hero and was afforded the right to rejoin Konohagakure as a jonin and ANBU member; she accepted and attempted to return to a normal life.

===Chapter IV; A Matter of Chance===

::Despite all of her best efforts to bring her sins to a close, Mizumono remained haunted by the many personalities that gripped her mind at any moment that she let her guard down. Slowly, over several months, her sanity waned and withered away, leaving her a twisted husk of a human. She was admitted into a hospital and cared for, though no progress was made until a fateful night in which she overpowered her orderlies and escaped the hospital. The girl, confused and caught within a haze of too many voices, lost herself in the forests that surrounded Konohagakure no Sato.

::When she awoke, her thoughts were frighteningly clear-- and silent. She could not appreciate this fact, however, as she did not have any recollection of any of the events of the war or months thereafter. While wandering the forest, lost, she met an unlikely savor: Uchiha Ozaku. The boy guided her back to town and attempted to decipher who she was and where she came from. Birds of a feather, the two bonded almost immediately after spending the day together. As night began to fall, Mizumono lost consciousness yet again and unconsciously allowed Kaosu to take control of her body. For the first time, he did not immediately force her to flee or carry on his bloodthirsty vengeance. Instead, the boy-spirit explained to Ozaku what had happened to Mizumono and that he had slowly fallen in love with her over the years they spent together. After she had broken open his seal in Nigiyakashufu, his chakra was bleeding from her and he would soon be gone. He used the last of his chakra to create a narcoleptic fail-safe within the girl; any time her mind became overwhelmed by her splintered personalities, she would fall into a deep sleep. Kaosu passed on the burden of taking care of Mizumono to Ozaku and, as suddenly as he appeared, he vanished from her body.

::In the years thereafter, Ozaku served as her guardian, her confidant, and eventually her lover. For a time, she was allowed a relatively normal life. Though time was a salve for some, it eventually proved to be Mizumono's undoing. Her bouts of narcolepsy increased dramatically over time, leading Ozaku to reveal her unique condition to the doctors that she had been seeing about the matter. An extensive analysis of her brain thereafter revealed that the unhinging of Kaosu's seal in addition to the condition he had instated within her had caused increasing amounts of damage to her brain. The result of which was that the flares of her alternate personas came with increasing frequency, resulting in the sleeping seal triggering more often, which in turn continued to damage her brain. Though the outlook seemed grim for Mizumono, she was approached by an enigmatic pragmatist of a doctor who offered to her a unique and experimental treatment. He claimed to have studied the ability of certain types of chakra to reverse and regenerate damaged tissue, but that it given the brain's interconnection throughout the body, he would have to implement the procedure on the entirety of her body. The result of this procedure was clear: her physical form would be reverted to whatever state it was in before Kaosu's original seal had been implemented. She would become young and rejuvenated, though she would lose the majority of the memories that she had formed between then and now. Mizumono agreed to his terms and allowed the procedure to be done.

===Chapter V; A Titan Reborn===

::After recovering from the procedure that had reverted her age many years, Mizumono found herself curious and confused. Ozaku explained much of what he knew of her last several years and why she had agreed to undergo it. Though hesitant, she accepted his explanation and returned home with the boy. Though her new and altered state prevented their relationship from continuing as it had previously, Ozaku began to look over her as a mentor and a guardian, teaching her all that he could to help her return to the life she once had.

::Though her abilities have diminished severely as a byproduct of the treatment, Mizumono has again embraced the way of the Shinobi and now seeks to hone her skills so that she may one day find those that she hurt and repent for the misdeeds of her illness.

== Personality ==
:Mizumono, in the current era, is a changed individual. Once broken, then crazed, now optimistic; this Hyūga girl is in many ways the person that she was never allowed to be in the past. She is excitable and optimistic, always preferring to look for the bright side of a bad situation and the light of decency in those she interacts with. She is friendly and mostly polite, though enjoys playfully teasing those she befriends at every given opportunity. Despite, or perhaps due to, the severity of the life that she has been made to live, Mizumono possesses an incredibly lighthearted outlook on life and tends to view almost everything as a game or a competition. Though she greatly enjoys competitive sport, she typically accepts loss in stride and savors learning from each defeat.

:She is a highly selfless individual, frequently pushing herself beyond her natural means to help someone in any amount of distress. Valuing friendship above all else, she places the well being of her friends and companions well above her own- a facet of her personality that often sees her taking the blame for others' mishaps or facing injury in place of another.

:Due to the extensive medical work that she has undergone in recent years, much of the instability in her personality has all but vanished. She no longer has bouts of alternative personas taking hold of her mind, nor is she incredibly susceptible to psychotic breaks caused by her own formerly splintering persona. The nature of her affliction, however, is not entirely able to be cured and consequently leaves her with still occasional flashes of memories from before her treatment and those fabricated memories of the differing personas that once inhabited her mind.

== Appearance ==
:In previous years, Mizumono preferred her hair to be cropped short with messy and uneven cuts, using her very appearance as a means to rebel against the heavy-handed manipulations of her family. Time had mended her need for rebellion and allowed her to begin wearing her hair straightened and unadorned as she grew into adulthood. With her physical form reverted and a mind now mostly mended, she has taken to a combination of the two styles that help her to reclaim a bit of who she once was. Her corvid stands are now worn tied into a high ponytail with messy bangs allowed to hang at either side of her expression, framing her the sharp features of her face. Her eyes are sharply formed, but bright with inquisitive energy; it is not uncommon to see her eyes crinkling with a wide and infectious smile. Though shimmering with continual excitement, the ashen hue of Mizumono's gaze often gives her the appearance that she is looking through or past an individual rather than at them.

:Despite having her body subject to the strange flows of age manipulation, the petite kunoichi remains very much as she ever was. The creme hue of her skin is stretched taught over well toned musculature indicative of a considerable amount of physical training. She is diminutive and svelte, holding soft and subtle slopes that indicate that she has yet again to travel through the entirety of her growth into woman-hood. Her features are fine and well formed, granting her an aesthetic of budding elegance.

===Civilian Attire===
::The civilian attire of this particular Hyūga is modest and proper. She prefers wearing a large assortment of traditionally crafted yukata when the weather permits such weather, and often even when it does not. Beneath this, she usually wears clashing sports-wear that allows her to spring free from the tight trappings of her public regalia if the situation calls such for it. She has shown a great preference to the colors of red and white as well as floral designs.

===Mission Attire===
::The battle garb of a shinobi varies wildly from wearer to wearer as well as between regions. In the case of Mizumono, she tends to prefer traditional styles with modern ones. She typically wears a short kimono with long, wide sleeves that allow her to obscure the motions of her hands and arms with ease. She wears her shinobi vestments over top of this kimono, preferring those flak jackets and armoring that have little ornamentation and instead are selected with simply to math the coloration of her attire. She wears standard shinobi sandals of the variation that stretch up the length of her legs, stopping midway up her thighs. Given that she was previously well known as an imperial criminal and a key member of Konohagakure's resistance movement, she has taken to wearing masks when outside of the village as to prevent former enemies from exploiting her recent decrease in strength.

== Part I ==

== Trivia ==
::''General Knowledge; IC''
:* "Mizumono" translates into "Matter of Chance" (lit. Matter of Water)
:* Mizumono was considered an S-Rank Missing Nin by the NCIA, despite being only a Chuunin
:* Mizumono is typically avoided by other veterans of the Konohagakure liberation, given her previous status as a dangerous and mentally unbalanced shinobi
:* Since meeting Uchiha Ozaku, Mizumono's mental state has been on the mend- her most ridiculous outbursts in recent times have only involved long and multi-sided debates about what foods to have at a buffet or snack stall.
:* Mizumono's first crush was on Darksol Anima.

== Quotes ==

:* "''I don't even remember the name of this village... what makes you think that I'd possibly know where to buy clothes?''"
:* "''Zaku! Tell your soul to stop moving!''"
:* "''Hear that, everyone? We're running away. If you'd like to disagree, just let me know-- I don't mind dragging your unconscious body with me. I've got no desire to be the death of any more of you kids.''"
:* "''Whoa there! Going right for the kill isn't any way to make friends, you know!''"

== OOC Trivia ==
::''Private Knowledge; OOC''
:* Mizumono's father is alive, but has gone missing since the end of the war. She has tried to locate him, to no avail.
:* Mizumono suffers from mild Schizophrenia and Dis-associative Identity Disorder, presumed to be both the fault of invasive sealing techniques and her "breeding plan".
:* Mizumono formerly had the vengeful soul of a murdered Uchiha sealed within her, whose desire for revenge was used as a counterbalance to drown out her other personas.
:* The aforementioned Uchiha's seal has since worn off, leaving him primarily vacant from the girl's mind. The remainder of the chakra within the seal has been re-purposed to minimize the effects of her D.I.D.

::''The Meta; OOC''
:* Mizumono was originally based on Alia Atreides from Frank Herbert's DUNE series. Her multiple-personalities were originally meant to be genetic memory, though the notion was eventually abandoned in lieu of a more practical and less "meta-game" approach.
:* The Uchiha sealed within her, Uchiha Kaosu, was a former PC of [[Hardcore Skittlez]], and was used originally as a plot device to give Mizumono reason to pursue Kaosu's murderer, Uchiha Mizujin. Despite that, Mizumono and Mizujin have not had any in-character encounters.
:* Mizumono's combat prowess was so great that her later encounters were steered away from stat battles so that she would not end the fights too quickly or decisively.
:* Mizumono is the reason that the equipment stat-bonus rule was implemented, as she accumulated a great sum of money and had artificially inflated her level through item stats by nearly 30 levels.

<b>Hyūga Mizumono</b> (日向水物, Mizumono Hyūga) is a Genin of Konohagakure no Sato. She once suffered from extreme Dissassociative Identity Disorder and was subject to a highly experimental treatment that resulted in the reduction of her physical age and consequently the removal of her memory. Before her treatment, she was a potent Jōnin of Konohagakure, a member of the ANBU, and War Hero. In her prime, Mizumono was both incredibly powerful and incredibly volatile; if she was caught during a psychotic episode, it was very likely that anyone nearby would perish. She is most well known for single-handedly pushing the remaining NCIA forces out of Konohagakure(while [[Hyuuga Yatako]] liberated the Country of Fire as a whole) and for her deadly participation in the battle at [[Kinomi no Toshi]].

== Background ==
===Chapter I; The Best Laid Plans===

::Rinnegan. Tenseigan. These were legends, ideals, impossibilities within the mortal realm, and yet, it was seen that time and again such surfaced to those of impeccable heritage and proper circumstance. These unobtainable, noble, eyes were the motivation that drove a sect of the Hyūga clan to launch an expansive breeding plan to perfect their already immaculate line. This plan, carefully executed and protected as a secret among secrets, resulted in the eventual birth of Hyūga Mizumono. Her birth did not signify the greatest of glories returning to the Hyūga-- no, it in fact was a harbinger for failure. She was to be the ultimate culmination of their work and meticulous social engineering, but was instead a simple, if not inquisitive, child. The hope that had resided in her genes, however, was not abandoned by all; her father, seeking to continue the project and strive for perfection that seemed attainable only by the legends of old, sought to salvage her lineage that she might mother the child that would shine naught but light upon the already illustrious clan. For this, he required the girl's survival; she was taught the basics of Shinobi Combat and, when the time came, was held back from proper graduation for more personalized training. She was restricted to the clan estate and privately trained, allowed to grow stronger but not to participate in any activity that would require the proof of her skills. It was during these times of dull peace that the first of her 'symptoms' of her heritage began to show- she manifested various other, erratic, personalities and interacted with them as though she were playing with ghosts about the estate. In an attempt to salvage her mind long enough to carry on her line, the girl's father engaged in a great taboo and struck a deal with a dying boy. Uchiha Kaosu was to be sealed within Mizumono's mind as a ward against the slow deterioration of her mind in exchange for the ability to seek revenge against the cousin who had been his undoing. Unknown to her father, this singular action would bring Mizumono to the precipice of death time and time again when Kaosu proved that his loyalties lie entirely with himself and not with the terms of their original agreement.

::Within the very same year, Kumogakure no Sato launched their mad blitz that conquered most of the known world. Again, in an attempt to preserve the world that had resulted in Mizumono's birth, she was handed to the N.C.I.A to join the ranks and protection of their organized and potent military force. Within the ranks of the Imperial military, Mizumono became acquainted with her first and best friends: Nenshou Toko and Darksol Anima. Though she had finally obtained friends of her own, Mizumono grew to be concerned for the well being of her family and returned to Konohagakure to investigate how it had fared in the year since her departure.

===Chapter II; Sunset on Sanity===

::After returning to Konohagakure, Mizumono found that the village was in tatters. Despite having barely recovered from the blitzkrieg, the remaining members of Konoha's shinobi force had taken up arms against their occupants, attempting to oust them from their precious nation. Though it was a hard fought battle, the rebellion was ultimately quashed and disbanded. She heard of what had happened from the brother of Hyūga Yatako, who then instructed her to find the prodigal cousin and learn from him, that she might one day lift Konoha's banner in a renewed resistance. Though she did not consider herself much of a revolutionary, she took the call to arms and decided that if anything was worth fighting for, it was home.

::Her search for Yatako brought her to the Land of Coal, where she was met by Amshiro Suzuke and his partner, Shodaan. These two boys were fresh members of a newly formed organization known as Hakumei, the spiritual successor to the once infamous mercenary organization "Akatsuki". Though Shodaan's loyalty to Hakumei was unwavering, Suzuke had been questioning their motives for some time and slowly grew to become friends with Mizumono. He had decided that their draconic methods were not those that he wished to employ and helped the young Hyūga locate Yatako, who arranged for Suzuke's death to be impersonated that he could be free of Hakumei pursuit as he left the nation. The two teens became the first students of Hyūga Yatako, the man who would one day be Hokage.

::On their journey away from the Land of Coal, Mizumono chanced upon a blade that would serve to facilitate great change in her life: the legendary blade of cherry blossoms, Senbonzakura. Though she had not yet unlocked its inherent potential, Mizumono trained alongside Yatako and Suzuke until she had honed herself into a weapon worthy of holding Konohagakure no Sato's war banner. However, as she grew stronger, so too did Kaosu's influence upon her mind. He took hold of her already fragile ego and caused her to flee her friend and teacher, ultimately regaining full control of herself only when she had crossed into the Land of Water.

::Within Mizu no Kuni, the fleeing Hyūga encountered a group of Konohagakure genin who mistook her for a proper member of the N.C.I.A. They did battle, but ultimately fell to her blade. Still recovering from the fracture that Kaosu had delivered to her psyche, she acted drastically and slew one of the unconscious genin as an example that would keep the others from risking their lives against her yet again. Before she could make off with her newly found prisoners, Mizumono was interrupted by their jonin and promptly defeated. She had explained only part of her situation, indicating that she was a member of the Konohagakure Resistance who had been mistaken as a Kumogakure Shinobi and was merely defending herself. The jonin cautiously took her word and allowed her to join their group for the time.

::The group barely had time to bury their fallen comrade before they were ushered onto a boat and sent back toward the Land of Fire. Aboard this boat, Mizumono experienced the telepathic touch of Senbonzakura for the first time; she learned of the blade's powers, its name, and some small measure of the creature that it once had been. Though she was not able to discern whether or not it was actually the blade speaking to her, she accepted its power with no further questioning. She barely had time to practice fighting with the blade's released state before the group of shinobi were called to the ship's deck. There, Mizumono saw a face she never expected to witness again: Shodaan. He had been obviously drugged, but was resisting captivity. The jonin that had allowed her continued survival explained to her that he posed a threat to their resistance, as he was a member of the criminal organization Hakumei. In order to prove her loyalty to the resistance movement, she was told that she would be the teen's executioner. Not wanting to take his life so callously, she agreed only if she could fight him to the death, even despite his impairments. Their battle was short lived- Shodaan opted to blow himself up in a grand display of strength rather than be slain by the hands of another.

::Shortly after the fateful encounter, the boat docked and allowed the group of Konohagkaure shinobi to reach their destination: a small town known as Kinomi no Toshi. They arrived to convene with a larger group of Resistance shinobi, only to be ambushed by a large NCIA Hunter-Ninja force. Though the battle was split into many potion, Mizumono utilized the newly found powers of her blade to eliminate a large quantity of the force... as well as her own team-mates. Once again, her mind crumbled beneath a schism of many interests; as she had done all of her life, she fled.

===Chapter III; The Shattered Hero===

::Mizumono fled from battle after battle in an attempt to find a quiet place to repair herself and make sense of the myriad of voices that clamored loudly now within her mind. She had found such no such a place-- instead, her attempts to find peace had lead her to the heart of war. She appeared in Nigiyakashufu as the Rebellion was reaching its crescendo. The leaders of each individual nation had gathered together alongside their forces for a final push to defeat the Raikage and oust the Empire's fell control once and for all. Seeing this as an opportunity to redeem herself, Mizumono joined the battle.

::While the leaders of each nation's resistance forces were engaged with the Raikage and his elite generals, Mizumono pitted herself against a potent woman with pumpkin-colored eyes. The woman was able to suspend Senbonzakura's petals amidst a torrent of wind and nearly defeated Mizumono, but was ultimately overturned when the girl tapped into Kaosu's sealed chakra and collapsed the woman's chakra circulatory system.

::After the battle, Mizumono met up again with Yatako and subjected herself to his judgment in an attempt to atone for the great misdeeds she had done over the course of the war. Seeming to want to put it all behind the world, Yatako agreed to absolve her of her crimes if she would pledge her blade to ousting the last remnants of the NCIA from Hi no Kuni. She agreed without hesitation and set out to Konohagakure while Yatako himself took the majority of the remaining Konohagakure resistance forces to Hotarunoshi.

::With Senbonzakura at her side, Mizumono pushed the remaining NCIA forces out of Konohagakure, unceremoniously ridding the nation of its last bits of Kumogakure taint. In doing so, she became decorated as a War Hero and was afforded the right to rejoin Konohagakure as a jonin and ANBU member; she accepted and attempted to return to a normal life.

===Chapter IV; A Matter of Chance===

::Despite all of her best efforts to bring her sins to a close, Mizumono remained haunted by the many personalities that gripped her mind at any moment that she let her guard down. Slowly, over several months, her sanity waned and withered away, leaving her a twisted husk of a human. She was admitted into a hospital and cared for, though no progress was made until a fateful night in which she overpowered her orderlies and escaped the hospital. The girl, confused and caught within a haze of too many voices, lost herself in the forests that surrounded Konohagakure no Sato.

::When she awoke, her thoughts were frighteningly clear-- and silent. She could not appreciate this fact, however, as she did not have any recollection of any of the events of the war or months thereafter. While wandering the forest, lost, she met an unlikely savor: Uchiha Ozaku. The boy guided her back to town and attempted to decipher who she was and where she came from. Birds of a feather, the two bonded almost immediately after spending the day together. As night began to fall, Mizumono lost consciousness yet again and unconsciously allowed Kaosu to take control of her body. For the first time, he did not immediately force her to flee or carry on his bloodthirsty vengeance. Instead, the boy-spirit explained to Ozaku what had happened to Mizumono and that he had slowly fallen in love with her over the years they spent together. After she had broken open his seal in Nigiyakashufu, his chakra was bleeding from her and he would soon be gone. He used the last of his chakra to create a narcoleptic fail-safe within the girl; any time her mind became overwhelmed by her splintered personalities, she would fall into a deep sleep. Kaosu passed on the burden of taking care of Mizumono to Ozaku and, as suddenly as he appeared, he vanished from her body.

::In the years thereafter, Ozaku served as her guardian, her confidant, and eventually her lover. For a time, she was allowed a relatively normal life. Though time was a salve for some, it eventually proved to be Mizumono's undoing. Her bouts of narcolepsy increased dramatically over time, leading Ozaku to reveal her unique condition to the doctors that she had been seeing about the matter. An extensive analysis of her brain thereafter revealed that the unhinging of Kaosu's seal in addition to the condition he had instated within her had caused increasing amounts of damage to her brain. The result of which was that the flares of her alternate personas came with increasing frequency, resulting in the sleeping seal triggering more often, which in turn continued to damage her brain. Though the outlook seemed grim for Mizumono, she was approached by an enigmatic pragmatist of a doctor who offered to her a unique and experimental treatment. He claimed to have studied the ability of certain types of chakra to reverse and regenerate damaged tissue, but that it given the brain's interconnection throughout the body, he would have to implement the procedure on the entirety of her body. The result of this procedure was clear: her physical form would be reverted to whatever state it was in before Kaosu's original seal had been implemented. She would become young and rejuvenated, though she would lose the majority of the memories that she had formed between then and now. Mizumono agreed to his terms and allowed the procedure to be done.

===Chapter V; A Titan Reborn===

::After recovering from the procedure that had reverted her age many years, Mizumono found herself curious and confused. Ozaku explained much of what he knew of her last several years and why she had agreed to undergo it. Though hesitant, she accepted his explanation and returned home with the boy. Though her new and altered state prevented their relationship from continuing as it had previously, Ozaku began to look over her as a mentor and a guardian, teaching her all that he could to help her return to the life she once had.

::Though her abilities have diminished severely as a byproduct of the treatment, Mizumono has again embraced the way of the Shinobi and now seeks to hone her skills so that she may one day find those that she hurt and repent for the misdeeds of her illness.

== Personality ==
:Mizumono, in the current era, is a changed individual. Once broken, then crazed, now optimistic; this Hyūga girl is in many ways the person that she was never allowed to be in the past. She is excitable and optimistic, always preferring to look for the bright side of a bad situation and the light of decency in those she interacts with. She is friendly and mostly polite, though enjoys playfully teasing those she befriends at every given opportunity. Despite, or perhaps due to, the severity of the life that she has been made to live, Mizumono possesses an incredibly lighthearted outlook on life and tends to view almost everything as a game or a competition. Though she greatly enjoys competitive sport, she typically accepts loss in stride and savors learning from each defeat.

:She is a highly selfless individual, frequently pushing herself beyond her natural means to help someone in any amount of distress. Valuing friendship above all else, she places the well being of her friends and companions well above her own- a facet of her personality that often sees her taking the blame for others' mishaps or facing injury in place of another.

:Due to the extensive medical work that she has undergone in recent years, much of the instability in her personality has all but vanished. She no longer has bouts of alternative personas taking hold of her mind, nor is she incredibly susceptible to psychotic breaks caused by her own formerly splintering persona. The nature of her affliction, however, is not entirely able to be cured and consequently leaves her with still occasional flashes of memories from before her treatment and those fabricated memories of the differing personas that once inhabited her mind.

== Appearance ==
:In previous years, Mizumono preferred her hair to be cropped short with messy and uneven cuts, using her very appearance as a means to rebel against the heavy-handed manipulations of her family. Time had mended her need for rebellion and allowed her to begin wearing her hair straightened and unadorned as she grew into adulthood. With her physical form reverted and a mind now mostly mended, she has taken to a combination of the two styles that help her to reclaim a bit of who she once was. Her corvid stands are now worn tied into a high ponytail with messy bangs allowed to hang at either side of her expression, framing her the sharp features of her face. Her eyes are sharply formed, but bright with inquisitive energy; it is not uncommon to see her eyes crinkling with a wide and infectious smile. Though shimmering with continual excitement, the ashen hue of Mizumono's gaze often gives her the appearance that she is looking through or past an individual rather than at them.

:Despite having her body subject to the strange flows of age manipulation, the petite kunoichi remains very much as she ever was. The creme hue of her skin is stretched taught over well toned musculature indicative of a considerable amount of physical training. She is diminutive and svelte, holding soft and subtle slopes that indicate that she has yet again to travel through the entirety of her growth into woman-hood. Her features are fine and well formed, granting her an aesthetic of budding elegance.

===Civilian Attire===
::The civilian attire of this particular Hyūga is modest and proper. She prefers wearing a large assortment of traditionally crafted yukata when the weather permits such weather, and often even when it does not. Beneath this, she usually wears clashing sports-wear that allows her to spring free from the tight trappings of her public regalia if the situation calls such for it. She has shown a great preference to the colors of red and white as well as floral designs.

===Mission Attire===
::The battle garb of a shinobi varies wildly from wearer to wearer as well as between regions. In the case of Mizumono, she tends to prefer traditional styles with modern ones. She typically wears a short kimono with long, wide sleeves that allow her to obscure the motions of her hands and arms with ease. She wears her shinobi vestments over top of this kimono, preferring those flak jackets and armoring that have little ornamentation and instead are selected with simply to math the coloration of her attire. She wears standard shinobi sandals of the variation that stretch up the length of her legs, stopping midway up her thighs. Given that she was previously well known as an imperial criminal and a key member of Konohagakure's resistance movement, she has taken to wearing masks when outside of the village as to prevent former enemies from exploiting her recent decrease in strength.

== Part I ==

== Trivia ==
::''General Knowledge; IC''
:* "Mizumono" translates into "Matter of Chance" (lit. Matter of Water)
:* Mizumono was considered an S-Rank Missing Nin by the NCIA, despite being only a Chuunin
:* Mizumono is typically avoided by other veterans of the Konohagakure liberation, given her previous status as a dangerous and mentally unbalanced shinobi
:* Since meeting Uchiha Ozaku, Mizumono's mental state has been on the mend- her most ridiculous outbursts in recent times have only involved long and multi-sided debates about what foods to have at a buffet or snack stall.
:* Mizumono's first crush was on Darksol Anima.

== Quotes ==

:* "''I don't even remember the name of this village... what makes you think that I'd possibly know where to buy clothes?''"
:* "''Zaku! Tell your soul to stop moving!''"
:* "''Hear that, everyone? We're running away. If you'd like to disagree, just let me know-- I don't mind dragging your unconscious body with me. I've got no desire to be the death of any more of you kids.''"
:* "''Whoa there! Going right for the kill isn't any way to make friends, you know!''"

== OOC Trivia ==
::''Private Knowledge; OOC''
:* Mizumono's father is alive, but has gone missing since the end of the war. She has tried to locate him, to no avail.
:* As presumed and unfortunate result of inbreeding, Mizumono suffers from mild Schizophrenia and Dis-associative Identity Disorder
:* Mizumono formerly had the vengeful soul of a murdered Uchiha sealed within her, whose desire for revenge was used as a counterbalance to drown out her other personas.
:* The aforementioned Uchiha's seal has since worn off, leaving him primarily vacant from the girl's mind. The remainder of the chakra within the seal has been re-purposed to minimize the effects of her D.I.D.

::''The Meta; OOC''
:* Mizumono was originally based on Alia Atreides from Frank Herbert's DUNE series. Her multiple-personalities were originally meant to be genetic memory, though the notion was eventually abandoned in lieu of a more practical and less "meta-game" approach.
:* The Uchiha sealed within her, Uchiha Kaosu, was a former PC of [[Hardcore Skittlez]], and was used originally as a plot device to give Mizumono reason to pursue Kaosu's murderer, Uchiha Mizujin. Despite that, Mizumono and Mizujin have not had any in-character encounters.
:* Mizumono's combat prowess was so great that her later encounters were steered away from stat battles so that she would not end the fights too quickly or decisively.
:* Mizumono is the reason that the equipment stat-bonus rule was implemented, as she accumulated a great sum of money and had artificially inflated her level through item stats by nearly 30 levels.

<b>Hyūga Mizumono</b> (日向水物, Mizumono Hyūga) is a Genin of Konohagakure no Sato. She once suffered from extreme Dissassociative Identity Disorder and was subject to a highly experimental treatment that resulted in the reduction of her physical age and consequently the removal of her memory. Before her treatment, she was a potent Jōnin of Konohagakure, a member of the ANBU, and War Hero. In her prime, Mizumono was both incredibly powerful and incredibly volatile; if she was caught during a psychotic episode, it was very likely that anyone nearby would perish. She is most well known for single-handedly pushing the remaining NCIA forces out of Konohagakure(while [[Hyuuga Yatako]] liberated the Country of Fire as a whole) and for her deadly participation in the battle at [[Kinomi no Toshi]].

== Background ==
===Chapter I; The Best Laid Plans===

::Rinnegan. Tenseigan. These were legends, ideals, impossibilities within the mortal realm, and yet, it was seen that time and again such surfaced to those of impeccable heritage and proper circumstance. These unobtainable, noble, eyes were the motivation that drove a sect of the Hyūga clan to launch an expansive breeding plan to perfect their already immaculate line. This plan, carefully executed and protected as a secret among secrets, resulted in the eventual birth of Hyūga Mizumono. Her birth did not signify the greatest of glories returning to the Hyūga-- no, it in fact was a harbinger for failure. She was to be the ultimate culmination of their work and meticulous social engineering, but was instead a simple, if not inquisitive, child. The hope that had resided in her genes, however, was not abandoned by all; her father, seeking to continue the project and strive for perfection that seemed attainable only by the legends of old, sought to salvage her lineage that she might mother the child that would shine naught but light upon the already illustrious clan. For this, he required the girl's survival; she was taught the basics of Shinobi Combat and, when the time came, was held back from proper graduation for more personalized training. She was restricted to the clan estate and privately trained, allowed to grow stronger but not to participate in any activity that would require the proof of her skills. It was during these times of dull peace that the first of her 'symptoms' of her heritage began to show- she manifested various other, erratic, personalities and interacted with them as though she were playing with ghosts about the estate. In an attempt to salvage her mind long enough to carry on her line, the girl's father engaged in a great taboo and struck a deal with a dying boy. Uchiha Kaosu was to be sealed within Mizumono's mind as a ward against the slow deterioration of her mind in exchange for the ability to seek revenge against the cousin who had been his undoing. Unknown to her father, this singular action would bring Mizumono to the precipice of death time and time again when Kaosu proved that his loyalties lie entirely with himself and not with the terms of their original agreement.

::Within the very same year, Kumogakure no Sato launched their mad blitz that conquered most of the known world. Again, in an attempt to preserve the world that had resulted in Mizumono's birth, she was handed to the N.C.I.A to join the ranks and protection of their organized and potent military force. Within the ranks of the Imperial military, Mizumono became acquainted with her first and best friends: Nenshou Toko and Darksol Anima. Though she had finally obtained friends of her own, Mizumono grew to be concerned for the well being of her family and returned to Konohagakure to investigate how it had fared in the year since her departure.

===Chapter II; Sunset on Sanity===

::After returning to Konohagakure, Mizumono found that the village was in tatters. Despite having barely recovered from the blitzkrieg, the remaining members of Konoha's shinobi force had taken up arms against their occupants, attempting to oust them from their precious nation. Though it was a hard fought battle, the rebellion was ultimately quashed and disbanded. She heard of what had happened from the brother of Hyūga Yatako, who then instructed her to find the prodigal cousin and learn from him, that she might one day lift Konoha's banner in a renewed resistance. Though she did not consider herself much of a revolutionary, she took the call to arms and decided that if anything was worth fighting for, it was home.

::Her search for Yatako brought her to the Land of Coal, where she was met by Amshiro Suzuke and his partner, Shodaan. These two boys were fresh members of a newly formed organization known as Hakumei, the spiritual successor to the once infamous mercenary organization "Akatsuki". Though Shodaan's loyalty to Hakumei was unwavering, Suzuke had been questioning their motives for some time and slowly grew to become friends with Mizumono. He had decided that their draconic methods were not those that he wished to employ and helped the young Hyūga locate Yatako, who arranged for Suzuke's death to be impersonated that he could be free of Hakumei pursuit as he left the nation. The two teens became the first students of Hyūga Yatako, the man who would one day be Hokage.

::On their journey away from the Land of Coal, Mizumono chanced upon a blade that would serve to facilitate great change in her life: the legendary blade of cherry blossoms, Senbonzakura. Though she had not yet unlocked its inherent potential, Mizumono trained alongside Yatako and Suzuke until she had honed herself into a weapon worthy of holding Konohagakure no Sato's war banner. However, as she grew stronger, so too did Kaosu's influence upon her mind. He took hold of her already fragile ego and caused her to flee her friend and teacher, ultimately regaining full control of herself only when she had crossed into the Land of Water.

::Within Mizu no Kuni, the fleeing Hyūga encountered a group of Konohagakure genin who mistook her for a proper member of the N.C.I.A. They did battle, but ultimately fell to her blade. Still recovering from the fracture that Kaosu had delivered to her psyche, she acted drastically and slew one of the unconscious genin as an example that would keep the others from risking their lives against her yet again. Before she could make off with her newly found prisoners, Mizumono was interrupted by their jonin and promptly defeated. She had explained only part of her situation, indicating that she was a member of the Konohagakure Resistance who had been mistaken as a Kumogakure Shinobi and was merely defending herself. The jonin cautiously took her word and allowed her to join their group for the time.

::The group barely had time to bury their fallen comrade before they were ushered onto a boat and sent back toward the Land of Fire. Aboard this boat, Mizumono experienced the telepathic touch of Senbonzakura for the first time; she learned of the blade's powers, its name, and some small measure of the creature that it once had been. Though she was not able to discern whether or not it was actually the blade speaking to her, she accepted its power with no further questioning. She barely had time to practice fighting with the blade's released state before the group of shinobi were called to the ship's deck. There, Mizumono saw a face she never expected to witness again: Shodaan. He had been obviously drugged, but was resisting captivity. The jonin that had allowed her continued survival explained to her that he posed a threat to their resistance, as he was a member of the criminal organization Hakumei. In order to prove her loyalty to the resistance movement, she was told that she would be the teen's executioner. Not wanting to take his life so callously, she agreed only if she could fight him to the death, even despite his impairments. Their battle was short lived- Shodaan opted to blow himself up in a grand display of strength rather than be slain by the hands of another.

::Shortly after the fateful encounter, the boat docked and allowed the group of Konohagkaure shinobi to reach their destination: a small town known as Kinomi no Toshi. They arrived to convene with a larger group of Resistance shinobi, only to be ambushed by a large NCIA Hunter-Ninja force. Though the battle was split into many potion, Mizumono utilized the newly found powers of her blade to eliminate a large quantity of the force... as well as her own team-mates. Once again, her mind crumbled beneath a schism of many interests; as she had done all of her life, she fled.

===Chapter III; The Shattered Hero===

::Mizumono fled from battle after battle in an attempt to find a quiet place to repair herself and make sense of the myriad of voices that clamored loudly now within her mind. She had found such no such a place-- instead, her attempts to find peace had lead her to the heart of war. She appeared in Nigiyakashufu as the Rebellion was reaching its crescendo. The leaders of each individual nation had gathered together alongside their forces for a final push to defeat the Raikage and oust the Empire's fell control once and for all. Seeing this as an opportunity to redeem herself, Mizumono joined the battle.

::While the leaders of each nation's resistance forces were engaged with the Raikage and his elite generals, Mizumono pitted herself against a potent woman with pumpkin-colored eyes. The woman was able to suspend Senbonzakura's petals amidst a torrent of wind and nearly defeated Mizumono, but was ultimately overturned when the girl tapped into Kaosu's sealed chakra and collapsed the woman's chakra circulatory system.

::After the battle, Mizumono met up again with Yatako and subjected herself to his judgment in an attempt to atone for the great misdeeds she had done over the course of the war. Seeming to want to put it all behind the world, Yatako agreed to absolve her of her crimes if she would pledge her blade to ousting the last remnants of the NCIA from Hi no Kuni. She agreed without hesitation and set out to Konohagakure while Yatako himself took the majority of the remaining Konohagakure resistance forces to Hotarunoshi.

::With Senbonzakura at her side, Mizumono pushed the remaining NCIA forces out of Konohagakure, unceremoniously ridding the nation of its last bits of Kumogakure taint. In doing so, she became decorated as a War Hero and was afforded the right to rejoin Konohagakure as a jonin and ANBU member; she accepted and attempted to return to a normal life.

===Chapter IV; A Matter of Chance===

::Despite all of her best efforts to bring her sins to a close, Mizumono remained haunted by the many personalities that gripped her mind at any moment that she let her guard down. Slowly, over several months, her sanity waned and withered away, leaving her a twisted husk of a human. She was admitted into a hospital and cared for, though no progress was made until a fateful night in which she overpowered her orderlies and escaped the hospital. The girl, confused and caught within a haze of too many voices, lost herself in the forests that surrounded Konohagakure no Sato.

::When she awoke, her thoughts were frighteningly clear-- and silent. She could not appreciate this fact, however, as she did not have any recollection of any of the events of the war or months thereafter. While wandering the forest, lost, she met an unlikely savor: Uchiha Ozaku. The boy guided her back to town and attempted to decipher who she was and where she came from. Birds of a feather, the two bonded almost immediately after spending the day together. As night began to fall, Mizumono lost consciousness yet again and unconsciously allowed Kaosu to take control of her body. For the first time, he did not immediately force her to flee or carry on his bloodthirsty vengeance. Instead, the boy-spirit explained to Ozaku what had happened to Mizumono and that he had slowly fallen in love with her over the years they spent together. After she had broken open his seal in Nigiyakashufu, his chakra was bleeding from her and he would soon be gone. He used the last of his chakra to create a narcoleptic fail-safe within the girl; any time her mind became overwhelmed by her splintered personalities, she would fall into a deep sleep. Kaosu passed on the burden of taking care of Mizumono to Ozaku and, as suddenly as he appeared, he vanished from her body.

::In the years thereafter, Ozaku served as her guardian, her confidant, and eventually her lover. For a time, she was allowed a relatively normal life. Though time was a salve for some, it eventually proved to be Mizumono's undoing. Her bouts of narcolepsy increased dramatically over time, leading Ozaku to reveal her unique condition to the doctors that she had been seeing about the matter. An extensive analysis of her brain thereafter revealed that the unhinging of Kaosu's seal in addition to the condition he had instated within her had caused increasing amounts of damage to her brain. The result of which was that the flares of her alternate personas came with increasing frequency, resulting in the sleeping seal triggering more often, which in turn continued to damage her brain. Though the outlook seemed grim for Mizumono, she was approached by an enigmatic pragmatist of a doctor who offered to her a unique and experimental treatment. He claimed to have studied the ability of certain types of chakra to reverse and regenerate damaged tissue, but that it given the brain's interconnection throughout the body, he would have to implement the procedure on the entirety of her body. The result of this procedure was clear: her physical form would be reverted to whatever state it was in before Kaosu's original seal had been implemented. She would become young and rejuvenated, though she would lose the majority of the memories that she had formed between then and now. Mizumono agreed to his terms and allowed the procedure to be done.

===Chapter V; A Titan Reborn===

::After recovering from the procedure that had reverted her age many years, Mizumono found herself curious and confused. Ozaku explained much of what he knew of her last several years and why she had agreed to undergo it. Though hesitant, she accepted his explanation and returned home with the boy. Though her new and altered state prevented their relationship from continuing as it had previously, Ozaku began to look over her as a mentor and a guardian, teaching her all that he could to help her return to the life she once had.

::Though her abilities have diminished severely as a byproduct of the treatment, Mizumono has again embraced the way of the Shinobi and now seeks to hone her skills so that she may one day find those that she hurt and repent for the misdeeds of her illness.

== Personality ==
:Mizumono, in the current era, is a changed individual. Once broken, then crazed, now optimistic; this Hyūga girl is in many ways the person that she was never allowed to be in the past. She is excitable and optimistic, always preferring to look for the bright side of a bad situation and the light of decency in those she interacts with. She is friendly and mostly polite, though enjoys playfully teasing those she befriends at every given opportunity. Despite, or perhaps due to, the severity of the life that she has been made to live, Mizumono possesses an incredibly lighthearted outlook on life and tends to view almost everything as a game or a competition. Though she greatly enjoys competitive sport, she typically accepts loss in stride and savors learning from each defeat.

:She is a highly selfless individual, frequently pushing herself beyond her natural means to help someone in any amount of distress. Valuing friendship above all else, she places the well being of her friends and companions well above her own- a facet of her personality that often sees her taking the blame for others' mishaps or facing injury in place of another.

:Due to the extensive medical work that she has undergone in recent years, much of the instability in her personality has all but vanished. She no longer has bouts of alternative personas taking hold of her mind, nor is she incredibly susceptible to psychotic breaks caused by her own formerly splintering persona. The nature of her affliction, however, is not entirely able to be cured and consequently leaves her with still occasional flashes of memories from before her treatment and those fabricated memories of the differing personas that once inhabited her mind.

== Appearance ==
:In previous years, Mizumono preferred her hair to be cropped short with messy and uneven cuts, using her very appearance as a means to rebel against the heavy-handed manipulations of her family. Time had mended her need for rebellion and allowed her to begin wearing her hair straightened and unadorned as she grew into adulthood. With her physical form reverted and a mind now mostly mended, she has taken to a combination of the two styles that help her to reclaim a bit of who she once was. Her corvid stands are now worn tied into a high ponytail with messy bangs allowed to hang at either side of her expression, framing her the sharp features of her face. Her eyes are sharply formed, but bright with inquisitive energy; it is not uncommon to see her eyes crinkling with a wide and infectious smile. Though shimmering with continual excitement, the ashen hue of Mizumono's gaze often gives her the appearance that she is looking through or past an individual rather than at them.

:Despite having her body subject to the strange flows of age manipulation, the petite kunoichi remains very much as she ever was. The creme hue of her skin is stretched taught over well toned musculature indicative of a considerable amount of physical training. She is diminutive and svelte, holding soft and subtle slopes that indicate that she has yet again to travel through the entirety of her growth into woman-hood. Her features are fine and well formed, granting her an aesthetic of budding elegance.

===Civilian Attire===
::The civilian attire of this particular Hyūga is modest and proper. She prefers wearing a large assortment of traditionally crafted yukata when the weather permits such weather, and often even when it does not. Beneath this, she usually wears clashing sports-wear that allows her to spring free from the tight trappings of her public regalia if the situation calls such for it. She has shown a great preference to the colors of red and white as well as floral designs.

===Mission Attire===
::The battle garb of a shinobi varies wildly from wearer to wearer as well as between regions. In the case of Mizumono, she tends to prefer traditional styles with modern ones. She typically wears a short kimono with long, wide sleeves that allow her to obscure the motions of her hands and arms with ease. She wears her shinobi vestments over top of this kimono, preferring those flak jackets and armoring that have little ornamentation and instead are selected with simply to math the coloration of her attire. She wears standard shinobi sandals of the variation that stretch up the length of her legs, stopping midway up her thighs. Given that she was previously well known as an imperial criminal and a key member of Konohagakure's resistance movement, she has taken to wearing masks when outside of the village as to prevent former enemies from exploiting her recent decrease in strength.

== Part I ==

== Trivia ==
::''General Knowledge; IC''
:* "Mizumono" translates into "Matter of Chance" (lit. Matter of Water)
:* Mizumono was considered an S-Rank Missing Nin by the NCIA, despite being only a Chuunin
:* Mizumono is typically avoided by other veterans of the Konohagakure liberation, given her previous status as a dangerous and mentally unbalanced shinobi
:* Since meeting Uchiha Ozaku, Mizumono's mental state has been on the mend- her most ridiculous outbursts in recent times have only involved long and multi-sided debates about what foods to have at a buffet or snack stall.
:* Mizumono's first crush was on Darksol Anima.

== Quotes ==

:* "''I don't even remember the name of this village... what makes you think that I'd possibly know where to buy clothes?''"
:* "''Zaku! Tell your soul to stop moving!''"
:* "''Hear that, everyone? We're running away. If you'd like to disagree, just let me know-- I don't mind dragging your unconscious body with me. I've got no desire to be the death of any more of you kids.''"
:* "''Whoa there! Going right for the kill isn't any way to make friends, you know!''"

== OOC Trivia ==
::''Private Knowledge; OOC''
:* Mizumono's father is alive, but has gone missing since the end of the war. She has tried to locate him, to no avail.
:* As presumed and unfortunate result of inbreeding, Mizumono suffers from mild Schizophrenia and Dis-associative Identity Disorder
:* Mizumono formerly had the vengeful soul of a murdered Uchiha sealed within her, whose desire for revenge was used as a counterbalance to drown out her other personas.
:* The aforementioned Uchiha's seal has since worn off, leaving him primarily vacant from the girl's mind. The remainder of the chakra within the seal has been re-purposed to minimize the effects of her D.I.D.

::''Outside the Box; OOC''
:* Mizumono was originally based on Alia Atreides from Frank Herbert's DUNE series. Her multiple-personalities were originally meant to be genetic memory, though the notion was eventually abandoned in lieu of a more practical and less "meta-game" approach.
:* The Uchiha sealed within her, Uchiha Kaosu, was a former PC of [[Hardcore Skittlez]], and was used originally as a plot device to give Mizumono reason to pursue Kaosu's murderer, Uchiha Mizujin. Despite that, Mizumono and Mizujin have not had any in-character encounters.
:* Mizumono's combat prowess was so great that her later encounters were steered away from stat battles so that she would not end the fights too quickly or decisively.
:* Mizumono is the reason that the equipment stat-bonus rule was implemented, as she accumulated a great sum of money and had artificially inflated her level through item stats by nearly 30 levels.

<b>Hyūga Mizumono</b> (日向水物, Mizumono Hyūga) is a Genin of Konohagakure no Sato. She once suffered from extreme Dissassociative Identity Disorder and was subject to a highly experimental treatment that resulted in the reduction of her physical age and consequently the removal of her memory. Before her treatment, she was a potent Jōnin of Konohagakure, a member of the ANBU, and War Hero. In her prime, Mizumono was both incredibly powerful and incredibly volatile; if she was caught during a psychotic episode, it was very likely that anyone nearby would perish. She is most well known for single-handedly pushing the remaining NCIA forces out of Konohagakure(while [[Hyuuga Yatako]] liberated the Country of Fire as a whole) and for her deadly participation in the battle at [[Kinomi no Toshi]].

== Background ==
===Chapter I; The Best Laid Plans===

::Rinnegan. Tenseigan. These were legends, ideals, impossibilities within the mortal realm, and yet, it was seen that time and again such surfaced to those of impeccable heritage and proper circumstance. These unobtainable, noble, eyes were the motivation that drove a sect of the Hyūga clan to launch an expansive breeding plan to perfect their already immaculate line. This plan, carefully executed and protected as a secret among secrets, resulted in the eventual birth of Hyūga Mizumono. Her birth did not signify the greatest of glories returning to the Hyūga-- no, it in fact was a harbinger for failure. She was to be the ultimate culmination of their work and meticulous social engineering, but was instead a simple, if not inquisitive, child. The hope that had resided in her genes, however, was not abandoned by all; her father, seeking to continue the project and strive for perfection that seemed attainable only by the legends of old, sought to salvage her lineage that she might mother the child that would shine naught but light upon the already illustrious clan. For this, he required the girl's survival; she was taught the basics of Shinobi Combat and, when the time came, was held back from proper graduation for more personalized training. She was restricted to the clan estate and privately trained, allowed to grow stronger but not to participate in any activity that would require the proof of her skills. It was during these times of dull peace that the first of her 'symptoms' of her heritage began to show- she manifested various other, erratic, personalities and interacted with them as though she were playing with ghosts about the estate. In an attempt to salvage her mind long enough to carry on her line, the girl's father engaged in a great taboo and struck a deal with a dying boy. Uchiha Kaosu was to be sealed within Mizumono's mind as a ward against the slow deterioration of her mind in exchange for the ability to seek revenge against the cousin who had been his undoing. Unknown to her father, this singular action would bring Mizumono to the precipice of death time and time again when Kaosu proved that his loyalties lie entirely with himself and not with the terms of their original agreement.

::Within the very same year, Kumogakure no Sato launched their mad blitz that conquered most of the known world. Again, in an attempt to preserve the world that had resulted in Mizumono's birth, she was handed to the N.C.I.A to join the ranks and protection of their organized and potent military force. Within the ranks of the Imperial military, Mizumono became acquainted with her first and best friends: Nenshou Toko and Darksol Anima. Though she had finally obtained friends of her own, Mizumono grew to be concerned for the well being of her family and returned to Konohagakure to investigate how it had fared in the year since her departure.

===Chapter II; Sunset on Sanity===

::After returning to Konohagakure, Mizumono found that the village was in tatters. Despite having barely recovered from the blitzkrieg, the remaining members of Konoha's shinobi force had taken up arms against their occupants, attempting to oust them from their precious nation. Though it was a hard fought battle, the rebellion was ultimately quashed and disbanded. She heard of what had happened from the brother of Hyūga Yatako, who then instructed her to find the prodigal cousin and learn from him, that she might one day lift Konoha's banner in a renewed resistance. Though she did not consider herself much of a revolutionary, she took the call to arms and decided that if anything was worth fighting for, it was home.

::Her search for Yatako brought her to the Land of Coal, where she was met by Amshiro Suzuke and his partner, Shodaan. These two boys were fresh members of a newly formed organization known as Hakumei, the spiritual successor to the once infamous mercenary organization "Akatsuki". Though Shodaan's loyalty to Hakumei was unwavering, Suzuke had been questioning their motives for some time and slowly grew to become friends with Mizumono. He had decided that their draconic methods were not those that he wished to employ and helped the young Hyūga locate Yatako, who arranged for Suzuke's death to be impersonated that he could be free of Hakumei pursuit as he left the nation. The two teens became the first students of Hyūga Yatako, the man who would one day be Hokage.

::On their journey away from the Land of Coal, Mizumono chanced upon a blade that would serve to facilitate great change in her life: the legendary blade of cherry blossoms, Senbonzakura. Though she had not yet unlocked its inherent potential, Mizumono trained alongside Yatako and Suzuke until she had honed herself into a weapon worthy of holding Konohagakure no Sato's war banner. However, as she grew stronger, so too did Kaosu's influence upon her mind. He took hold of her already fragile ego and caused her to flee her friend and teacher, ultimately regaining full control of herself only when she had crossed into the Land of Water.

::Within Mizu no Kuni, the fleeing Hyūga encountered a group of Konohagakure genin who mistook her for a proper member of the N.C.I.A. They did battle, but ultimately fell to her blade. Still recovering from the fracture that Kaosu had delivered to her psyche, she acted drastically and slew one of the unconscious genin as an example that would keep the others from risking their lives against her yet again. Before she could make off with her newly found prisoners, Mizumono was interrupted by their jonin and promptly defeated. She had explained only part of her situation, indicating that she was a member of the Konohagakure Resistance who had been mistaken as a Kumogakure Shinobi and was merely defending herself. The jonin cautiously took her word and allowed her to join their group for the time.

::The group barely had time to bury their fallen comrade before they were ushered onto a boat and sent back toward the Land of Fire. Aboard this boat, Mizumono experienced the telepathic touch of Senbonzakura for the first time; she learned of the blade's powers, its name, and some small measure of the creature that it once had been. Though she was not able to discern whether or not it was actually the blade speaking to her, she accepted its power with no further questioning. She barely had time to practice fighting with the blade's released state before the group of shinobi were called to the ship's deck. There, Mizumono saw a face she never expected to witness again: Shodaan. He had been obviously drugged, but was resisting captivity. The jonin that had allowed her continued survival explained to her that he posed a threat to their resistance, as he was a member of the criminal organization Hakumei. In order to prove her loyalty to the resistance movement, she was told that she would be the teen's executioner. Not wanting to take his life so callously, she agreed only if she could fight him to the death, even despite his impairments. Their battle was short lived- Shodaan opted to blow himself up in a grand display of strength rather than be slain by the hands of another.

::Shortly after the fateful encounter, the boat docked and allowed the group of Konohagkaure shinobi to reach their destination: a small town known as Kinomi no Toshi. They arrived to convene with a larger group of Resistance shinobi, only to be ambushed by a large NCIA Hunter-Ninja force. Though the battle was split into many potion, Mizumono utilized the newly found powers of her blade to eliminate a large quantity of the force... as well as her own team-mates. Once again, her mind crumbled beneath a schism of many interests; as she had done all of her life, she fled.

===Chapter III; The Shattered Hero===

::Mizumono fled from battle after battle in an attempt to find a quiet place to repair herself and make sense of the myriad of voices that clamored loudly now within her mind. She had found such no such a place-- instead, her attempts to find peace had lead her to the heart of war. She appeared in Nigiyakashufu as the Rebellion was reaching its crescendo. The leaders of each individual nation had gathered together alongside their forces for a final push to defeat the Raikage and oust the Empire's fell control once and for all. Seeing this as an opportunity to redeem herself, Mizumono joined the battle.

::While the leaders of each nation's resistance forces were engaged with the Raikage and his elite generals, Mizumono pitted herself against a potent woman with pumpkin-colored eyes. The woman was able to suspend Senbonzakura's petals amidst a torrent of wind and nearly defeated Mizumono, but was ultimately overturned when the girl tapped into Kaosu's sealed chakra and collapsed the woman's chakra circulatory system.

::After the battle, Mizumono met up again with Yatako and subjected herself to his judgment in an attempt to atone for the great misdeeds she had done over the course of the war. Seeming to want to put it all behind the world, Yatako agreed to absolve her of her crimes if she would pledge her blade to ousting the last remnants of the NCIA from Hi no Kuni. She agreed without hesitation and set out to Konohagakure while Yatako himself took the majority of the remaining Konohagakure resistance forces to Hotarunoshi.

::With Senbonzakura at her side, Mizumono pushed the remaining NCIA forces out of Konohagakure, unceremoniously ridding the nation of its last bits of Kumogakure taint. In doing so, she became decorated as a War Hero and was afforded the right to rejoin Konohagakure as a jonin and ANBU member; she accepted and attempted to return to a normal life.

===Chapter IV; A Matter of Chance===

::Despite all of her best efforts to bring her sins to a close, Mizumono remained haunted by the many personalities that gripped her mind at any moment that she let her guard down. Slowly, over several months, her sanity waned and withered away, leaving her a twisted husk of a human. She was admitted into a hospital and cared for, though no progress was made until a fateful night in which she overpowered her orderlies and escaped the hospital. The girl, confused and caught within a haze of too many voices, lost herself in the forests that surrounded Konohagakure no Sato.

::When she awoke, her thoughts were frighteningly clear-- and silent. She could not appreciate this fact, however, as she did not have any recollection of any of the events of the war or months thereafter. While wandering the forest, lost, she met an unlikely savor: Uchiha Ozaku. The boy guided her back to town and attempted to decipher who she was and where she came from. Birds of a feather, the two bonded almost immediately after spending the day together. As night began to fall, Mizumono lost consciousness yet again and unconsciously allowed Kaosu to take control of her body. For the first time, he did not immediately force her to flee or carry on his bloodthirsty vengeance. Instead, the boy-spirit explained to Ozaku what had happened to Mizumono and that he had slowly fallen in love with her over the years they spent together. After she had broken open his seal in Nigiyakashufu, his chakra was bleeding from her and he would soon be gone. He used the last of his chakra to create a narcoleptic fail-safe within the girl; any time her mind became overwhelmed by her splintered personalities, she would fall into a deep sleep. Kaosu passed on the burden of taking care of Mizumono to Ozaku and, as suddenly as he appeared, he vanished from her body.

::In the years thereafter, Ozaku served as her guardian, her confidant, and eventually her lover. For a time, she was allowed a relatively normal life. Though time was a salve for some, it eventually proved to be Mizumono's undoing. Her bouts of narcolepsy increased dramatically over time, leading Ozaku to reveal her unique condition to the doctors that she had been seeing about the matter. An extensive analysis of her brain thereafter revealed that the unhinging of Kaosu's seal in addition to the condition he had instated within her had caused increasing amounts of damage to her brain. The result of which was that the flares of her alternate personas came with increasing frequency, resulting in the sleeping seal triggering more often, which in turn continued to damage her brain. Though the outlook seemed grim for Mizumono, she was approached by an enigmatic pragmatist of a doctor who offered to her a unique and experimental treatment. He claimed to have studied the ability of certain types of chakra to reverse and regenerate damaged tissue, but that it given the brain's interconnection throughout the body, he would have to implement the procedure on the entirety of her body. The result of this procedure was clear: her physical form would be reverted to whatever state it was in before Kaosu's original seal had been implemented. She would become young and rejuvenated, though she would lose the majority of the memories that she had formed between then and now. Mizumono agreed to his terms and allowed the procedure to be done.

===Chapter V; A Titan Reborn===

::After recovering from the procedure that had reverted her age many years, Mizumono found herself curious and confused. Ozaku explained much of what he knew of her last several years and why she had agreed to undergo it. Though hesitant, she accepted his explanation and returned home with the boy. Though her new and altered state prevented their relationship from continuing as it had previously, Ozaku began to look over her as a mentor and a guardian, teaching her all that he could to help her return to the life she once had.

::Though her abilities have diminished severely as a byproduct of the treatment, Mizumono has again embraced the way of the Shinobi and now seeks to hone her skills so that she may one day find those that she hurt and repent for the misdeeds of her illness.

== Personality ==
:Mizumono, in the current era, is a changed individual. Once broken, then crazed, now optimistic; this Hyūga girl is in many ways the person that she was never allowed to be in the past. She is excitable and optimistic, always preferring to look for the bright side of a bad situation and the light of decency in those she interacts with. She is friendly and mostly polite, though enjoys playfully teasing those she befriends at every given opportunity. Despite, or perhaps due to, the severity of the life that she has been made to live, Mizumono possesses an incredibly lighthearted outlook on life and tends to view almost everything as a game or a competition. Though she greatly enjoys competitive sport, she typically accepts loss in stride and savors learning from each defeat.

:She is a highly selfless individual, frequently pushing herself beyond her natural means to help someone in any amount of distress. Valuing friendship above all else, she places the well being of her friends and companions well above her own- a facet of her personality that often sees her taking the blame for others' mishaps or facing injury in place of another.

:Due to the extensive medical work that she has undergone in recent years, much of the instability in her personality has all but vanished. She no longer has bouts of alternative personas taking hold of her mind, nor is she incredibly susceptible to psychotic breaks caused by her own formerly splintering persona. The nature of her affliction, however, is not entirely able to be cured and consequently leaves her with still occasional flashes of memories from before her treatment and those fabricated memories of the differing personas that once inhabited her mind.

== Appearance ==
:In previous years, Mizumono preferred her hair to be cropped short with messy and uneven cuts, using her very appearance as a means to rebel against the heavy-handed manipulations of her family. Time had mended her need for rebellion and allowed her to begin wearing her hair straightened and unadorned as she grew into adulthood. With her physical form reverted and a mind now mostly mended, she has taken to a combination of the two styles that help her to reclaim a bit of who she once was. Her corvid stands are now worn tied into a high ponytail with messy bangs allowed to hang at either side of her expression, framing her the sharp features of her face. Her eyes are sharply formed, but bright with inquisitive energy; it is not uncommon to see her eyes crinkling with a wide and infectious smile. Though shimmering with continual excitement, the ashen hue of Mizumono's gaze often gives her the appearance that she is looking through or past an individual rather than at them.

:Despite having her body subject to the strange flows of age manipulation, the petite kunoichi remains very much as she ever was. The creme hue of her skin is stretched taught over well toned musculature indicative of a considerable amount of physical training. She is diminutive and svelte, holding soft and subtle slopes that indicate that she has yet again to travel through the entirety of her growth into woman-hood. Her features are fine and well formed, granting her an aesthetic of budding elegance.

===Civilian Attire===
::The civilian attire of this particular Hyūga is modest and proper. She prefers wearing a large assortment of traditionally crafted yukata when the weather permits such weather, and often even when it does not. Beneath this, she usually wears clashing sports-wear that allows her to spring free from the tight trappings of her public regalia if the situation calls such for it. She has shown a great preference to the colors of red and white as well as floral designs.

===Mission Attire===
::The battle garb of a shinobi varies wildly from wearer to wearer as well as between regions. In the case of Mizumono, she tends to prefer traditional styles with modern ones. She typically wears a short kimono with long, wide sleeves that allow her to obscure the motions of her hands and arms with ease. She wears her shinobi vestments over top of this kimono, preferring those flak jackets and armoring that have little ornamentation and instead are selected with simply to math the coloration of her attire. She wears standard shinobi sandals of the variation that stretch up the length of her legs, stopping midway up her thighs. Given that she was previously well known as an imperial criminal and a key member of Konohagakure's resistance movement, she has taken to wearing masks when outside of the village as to prevent former enemies from exploiting her recent decrease in strength.

== Part I ==

== Trivia ==
::''General Knowledge; IC''
:* "Mizumono" translates into "Matter of Chance" (lit. Matter of Water)
:* Mizumono was considered an S-Rank Missing Nin by the NCIA, despite being only a Chuunin
:* Mizumono is typically avoided by other veterans of the Konohagakure liberation, given her previous status as a dangerous and mentally unbalanced shinobi
:* Since meeting Uchiha Ozaku, Mizumono's mental state has been on the mend- her most ridiculous outbursts in recent times have only involved long and multi-sided debates about what foods to have at a buffet or snack stall.
:* Mizumono's first crush was on Darksol Anima.

== Quotes ==
::* "''I don't even remember the name of this village... what makes you think that I'd possibly know where to buy clothes?''"
::* "''Zaku! Tell your soul to stop moving!''"
::* "''Hear that, everyone? We're running away. If you'd like to disagree, just let me know-- I don't mind dragging your unconscious body with me. I've got no desire to be the death of any more of you kids.''"
::* "''Whoa there! Going right for the kill isn't any way to make friends, you know!''"

== OOC Trivia ==
::''Private Knowledge; OOC''
:* Mizumono's father is alive, but has gone missing since the end of the war. She has tried to locate him, to no avail.
:* As presumed and unfortunate result of inbreeding, Mizumono suffers from mild Schizophrenia and Dis-associative Identity Disorder
:* Mizumono formerly had the vengeful soul of a murdered Uchiha sealed within her, whose desire for revenge was used as a counterbalance to drown out her other personas.
:* The aforementioned Uchiha's seal has since worn off, leaving him primarily vacant from the girl's mind. The remainder of the chakra within the seal has been re-purposed to minimize the effects of her D.I.D.

::''Outside the Box; OOC''
:* Mizumono was originally based on Alia Atreides from Frank Herbert's DUNE series. Her multiple-personalities were originally meant to be genetic memory, though the notion was eventually abandoned in lieu of a more practical and less "meta-game" approach.
:* The Uchiha sealed within her, Uchiha Kaosu, was a former PC of [[Hardcore Skittlez]], and was used originally as a plot device to give Mizumono reason to pursue Kaosu's murderer, Uchiha Mizujin. Despite that, Mizumono and Mizujin have not had any in-character encounters.
:* Mizumono's combat prowess was so great that her later encounters were steered away from stat battles so that she would not end the fights too quickly or decisively.
:* Mizumono is the reason that the equipment stat-bonus rule was implemented, as she accumulated a great sum of money and had artificially inflated her level through item stats by nearly 30 levels.

<b>Hyūga Mizumono</b> (日向水物, Mizumono Hyūga) is a Genin of Konohagakure no Sato. She once suffered from extreme Dissassociative Identity Disorder and was subject to a highly experimental treatment that resulted in the reduction of her physical age and consequently the removal of her memory. Before her treatment, she was a potent Jōnin of Konohagakure, a member of the ANBU, and War Hero. In her prime, Mizumono was both incredibly powerful and incredibly volatile; if she was caught during a psychotic episode, it was very likely that anyone nearby would perish. She is most well known for single-handedly pushing the remaining NCIA forces out of Konohagakure(while [[Hyuuga Yatako]] liberated the Country of Fire as a whole) and for her deadly participation in the battle at [[Kinomi no Toshi]].

== Background ==
===Chapter I; The Best Laid Plans===

::Rinnegan. Tenseigan. These were legends, ideals, impossibilities within the mortal realm, and yet, it was seen that time and again such surfaced to those of impeccable heritage and proper circumstance. These unobtainable, noble, eyes were the motivation that drove a sect of the Hyūga clan to launch an expansive breeding plan to perfect their already immaculate line. This plan, carefully executed and protected as a secret among secrets, resulted in the eventual birth of Hyūga Mizumono. Her birth did not signify the greatest of glories returning to the Hyūga-- no, it in fact was a harbinger for failure. She was to be the ultimate culmination of their work and meticulous social engineering, but was instead a simple, if not inquisitive, child. The hope that had resided in her genes, however, was not abandoned by all; her father, seeking to continue the project and strive for perfection that seemed attainable only by the legends of old, sought to salvage her lineage that she might mother the child that would shine naught but light upon the already illustrious clan. For this, he required the girl's survival; she was taught the basics of Shinobi Combat and, when the time came, was held back from proper graduation for more personalized training. She was restricted to the clan estate and privately trained, allowed to grow stronger but not to participate in any activity that would require the proof of her skills. It was during these times of dull peace that the first of her 'symptoms' of her heritage began to show- she manifested various other, erratic, personalities and interacted with them as though she were playing with ghosts about the estate. In an attempt to salvage her mind long enough to carry on her line, the girl's father engaged in a great taboo and struck a deal with a dying boy. Uchiha Kaosu was to be sealed within Mizumono's mind as a ward against the slow deterioration of her mind in exchange for the ability to seek revenge against the cousin who had been his undoing. Unknown to her father, this singular action would bring Mizumono to the precipice of death time and time again when Kaosu proved that his loyalties lie entirely with himself and not with the terms of their original agreement.

::Within the very same year, Kumogakure no Sato launched their mad blitz that conquered most of the known world. Again, in an attempt to preserve the world that had resulted in Mizumono's birth, she was handed to the N.C.I.A to join the ranks and protection of their organized and potent military force. Within the ranks of the Imperial military, Mizumono became acquainted with her first and best friends: Nenshou Toko and Darksol Anima. Though she had finally obtained friends of her own, Mizumono grew to be concerned for the well being of her family and returned to Konohagakure to investigate how it had fared in the year since her departure.

===Chapter II; Sunset on Sanity===

::After returning to Konohagakure, Mizumono found that the village was in tatters. Despite having barely recovered from the blitzkrieg, the remaining members of Konoha's shinobi force had taken up arms against their occupants, attempting to oust them from their precious nation. Though it was a hard fought battle, the rebellion was ultimately quashed and disbanded. She heard of what had happened from the brother of Hyūga Yatako, who then instructed her to find the prodigal cousin and learn from him, that she might one day lift Konoha's banner in a renewed resistance. Though she did not consider herself much of a revolutionary, she took the call to arms and decided that if anything was worth fighting for, it was home.

::Her search for Yatako brought her to the Land of Coal, where she was met by Amshiro Suzuke and his partner, Shodaan. These two boys were fresh members of a newly formed organization known as Hakumei, the spiritual successor to the once infamous mercenary organization "Akatsuki". Though Shodaan's loyalty to Hakumei was unwavering, Suzuke had been questioning their motives for some time and slowly grew to become friends with Mizumono. He had decided that their draconic methods were not those that he wished to employ and helped the young Hyūga locate Yatako, who arranged for Suzuke's death to be impersonated that he could be free of Hakumei pursuit as he left the nation. The two teens became the first students of Hyūga Yatako, the man who would one day be Hokage.

::On their journey away from the Land of Coal, Mizumono chanced upon a blade that would serve to facilitate great change in her life: the legendary blade of cherry blossoms, Senbonzakura. Though she had not yet unlocked its inherent potential, Mizumono trained alongside Yatako and Suzuke until she had honed herself into a weapon worthy of holding Konohagakure no Sato's war banner. However, as she grew stronger, so too did Kaosu's influence upon her mind. He took hold of her already fragile ego and caused her to flee her friend and teacher, ultimately regaining full control of herself only when she had crossed into the Land of Water.

::Within Mizu no Kuni, the fleeing Hyūga encountered a group of Konohagakure genin who mistook her for a proper member of the N.C.I.A. They did battle, but ultimately fell to her blade. Still recovering from the fracture that Kaosu had delivered to her psyche, she acted drastically and slew one of the unconscious genin as an example that would keep the others from risking their lives against her yet again. Before she could make off with her newly found prisoners, Mizumono was interrupted by their jonin and promptly defeated. She had explained only part of her situation, indicating that she was a member of the Konohagakure Resistance who had been mistaken as a Kumogakure Shinobi and was merely defending herself. The jonin cautiously took her word and allowed her to join their group for the time.

::The group barely had time to bury their fallen comrade before they were ushered onto a boat and sent back toward the Land of Fire. Aboard this boat, Mizumono experienced the telepathic touch of Senbonzakura for the first time; she learned of the blade's powers, its name, and some small measure of the creature that it once had been. Though she was not able to discern whether or not it was actually the blade speaking to her, she accepted its power with no further questioning. She barely had time to practice fighting with the blade's released state before the group of shinobi were called to the ship's deck. There, Mizumono saw a face she never expected to witness again: Shodaan. He had been obviously drugged, but was resisting captivity. The jonin that had allowed her continued survival explained to her that he posed a threat to their resistance, as he was a member of the criminal organization Hakumei. In order to prove her loyalty to the resistance movement, she was told that she would be the teen's executioner. Not wanting to take his life so callously, she agreed only if she could fight him to the death, even despite his impairments. Their battle was short lived- Shodaan opted to blow himself up in a grand display of strength rather than be slain by the hands of another.

::Shortly after the fateful encounter, the boat docked and allowed the group of Konohagkaure shinobi to reach their destination: a small town known as Kinomi no Toshi. They arrived to convene with a larger group of Resistance shinobi, only to be ambushed by a large NCIA Hunter-Ninja force. Though the battle was split into many potion, Mizumono utilized the newly found powers of her blade to eliminate a large quantity of the force... as well as her own team-mates. Once again, her mind crumbled beneath a schism of many interests; as she had done all of her life, she fled.

===Chapter III; The Shattered Hero===

::Mizumono fled from battle after battle in an attempt to find a quiet place to repair herself and make sense of the myriad of voices that clamored loudly now within her mind. She had found such no such a place-- instead, her attempts to find peace had lead her to the heart of war. She appeared in Nigiyakashufu as the Rebellion was reaching its crescendo. The leaders of each individual nation had gathered together alongside their forces for a final push to defeat the Raikage and oust the Empire's fell control once and for all. Seeing this as an opportunity to redeem herself, Mizumono joined the battle.

::While the leaders of each nation's resistance forces were engaged with the Raikage and his elite generals, Mizumono pitted herself against a potent woman with pumpkin-colored eyes. The woman was able to suspend Senbonzakura's petals amidst a torrent of wind and nearly defeated Mizumono, but was ultimately overturned when the girl tapped into Kaosu's sealed chakra and collapsed the woman's chakra circulatory system.

::After the battle, Mizumono met up again with Yatako and subjected herself to his judgment in an attempt to atone for the great misdeeds she had done over the course of the war. Seeming to want to put it all behind the world, Yatako agreed to absolve her of her crimes if she would pledge her blade to ousting the last remnants of the NCIA from Hi no Kuni. She agreed without hesitation and set out to Konohagakure while Yatako himself took the majority of the remaining Konohagakure resistance forces to Hotarunoshi.

::With Senbonzakura at her side, Mizumono pushed the remaining NCIA forces out of Konohagakure, unceremoniously ridding the nation of its last bits of Kumogakure taint. In doing so, she became decorated as a War Hero and was afforded the right to rejoin Konohagakure as a jonin and ANBU member; she accepted and attempted to return to a normal life.

===Chapter IV; A Matter of Chance===

::Despite all of her best efforts to bring her sins to a close, Mizumono remained haunted by the many personalities that gripped her mind at any moment that she let her guard down. Slowly, over several months, her sanity waned and withered away, leaving her a twisted husk of a human. She was admitted into a hospital and cared for, though no progress was made until a fateful night in which she overpowered her orderlies and escaped the hospital. The girl, confused and caught within a haze of too many voices, lost herself in the forests that surrounded Konohagakure no Sato.

::When she awoke, her thoughts were frighteningly clear-- and silent. She could not appreciate this fact, however, as she did not have any recollection of any of the events of the war or months thereafter. While wandering the forest, lost, she met an unlikely savor: Uchiha Ozaku. The boy guided her back to town and attempted to decipher who she was and where she came from. Birds of a feather, the two bonded almost immediately after spending the day together. As night began to fall, Mizumono lost consciousness yet again and unconsciously allowed Kaosu to take control of her body. For the first time, he did not immediately force her to flee or carry on his bloodthirsty vengeance. Instead, the boy-spirit explained to Ozaku what had happened to Mizumono and that he had slowly fallen in love with her over the years they spent together. After she had broken open his seal in Nigiyakashufu, his chakra was bleeding from her and he would soon be gone. He used the last of his chakra to create a narcoleptic fail-safe within the girl; any time her mind became overwhelmed by her splintered personalities, she would fall into a deep sleep. Kaosu passed on the burden of taking care of Mizumono to Ozaku and, as suddenly as he appeared, he vanished from her body.

::In the years thereafter, Ozaku served as her guardian, her confidant, and eventually her lover. For a time, she was allowed a relatively normal life. Though time was a salve for some, it eventually proved to be Mizumono's undoing. Her bouts of narcolepsy increased dramatically over time, leading Ozaku to reveal her unique condition to the doctors that she had been seeing about the matter. An extensive analysis of her brain thereafter revealed that the unhinging of Kaosu's seal in addition to the condition he had instated within her had caused increasing amounts of damage to her brain. The result of which was that the flares of her alternate personas came with increasing frequency, resulting in the sleeping seal triggering more often, which in turn continued to damage her brain. Though the outlook seemed grim for Mizumono, she was approached by an enigmatic pragmatist of a doctor who offered to her a unique and experimental treatment. He claimed to have studied the ability of certain types of chakra to reverse and regenerate damaged tissue, but that it given the brain's interconnection throughout the body, he would have to implement the procedure on the entirety of her body. The result of this procedure was clear: her physical form would be reverted to whatever state it was in before Kaosu's original seal had been implemented. She would become young and rejuvenated, though she would lose the majority of the memories that she had formed between then and now. Mizumono agreed to his terms and allowed the procedure to be done.

===Chapter V; A Titan Reborn===

::After recovering from the procedure that had reverted her age many years, Mizumono found herself curious and confused. Ozaku explained much of what he knew of her last several years and why she had agreed to undergo it. Though hesitant, she accepted his explanation and returned home with the boy. Though her new and altered state prevented their relationship from continuing as it had previously, Ozaku began to look over her as a mentor and a guardian, teaching her all that he could to help her return to the life she once had.

::Though her abilities have diminished severely as a byproduct of the treatment, Mizumono has again embraced the way of the Shinobi and now seeks to hone her skills so that she may one day find those that she hurt and repent for the misdeeds of her illness.

== Personality ==
:Mizumono, in the current era, is a changed individual. Once broken, then crazed, now optimistic; this Hyūga girl is in many ways the person that she was never allowed to be in the past. She is excitable and optimistic, always preferring to look for the bright side of a bad situation and the light of decency in those she interacts with. She is friendly and mostly polite, though enjoys playfully teasing those she befriends at every given opportunity. Despite, or perhaps due to, the severity of the life that she has been made to live, Mizumono possesses an incredibly lighthearted outlook on life and tends to view almost everything as a game or a competition. Though she greatly enjoys competitive sport, she typically accepts loss in stride and savors learning from each defeat.

:She is a highly selfless individual, frequently pushing herself beyond her natural means to help someone in any amount of distress. Valuing friendship above all else, she places the well being of her friends and companions well above her own- a facet of her personality that often sees her taking the blame for others' mishaps or facing injury in place of another.

:Due to the extensive medical work that she has undergone in recent years, much of the instability in her personality has all but vanished. She no longer has bouts of alternative personas taking hold of her mind, nor is she incredibly susceptible to psychotic breaks caused by her own formerly splintering persona. The nature of her affliction, however, is not entirely able to be cured and consequently leaves her with still occasional flashes of memories from before her treatment and those fabricated memories of the differing personas that once inhabited her mind.

== Appearance ==
:In previous years, Mizumono preferred her hair to be cropped short with messy and uneven cuts, using her very appearance as a means to rebel against the heavy-handed manipulations of her family. Time had mended her need for rebellion and allowed her to begin wearing her hair straightened and unadorned as she grew into adulthood. With her physical form reverted and a mind now mostly mended, she has taken to a combination of the two styles that help her to reclaim a bit of who she once was. Her corvid stands are now worn tied into a high ponytail with messy bangs allowed to hang at either side of her expression, framing her the sharp features of her face. Her eyes are sharply formed, but bright with inquisitive energy; it is not uncommon to see her eyes crinkling with a wide and infectious smile. Though shimmering with continual excitement, the ashen hue of Mizumono's gaze often gives her the appearance that she is looking through or past an individual rather than at them.

:Despite having her body subject to the strange flows of age manipulation, the petite kunoichi remains very much as she ever was. The creme hue of her skin is stretched taught over well toned musculature indicative of a considerable amount of physical training. She is diminutive and svelte, holding soft and subtle slopes that indicate that she has yet again to travel through the entirety of her growth into woman-hood. Her features are fine and well formed, granting her an aesthetic of budding elegance.

===Civilian Attire===
::The civilian attire of this particular Hyūga is modest and proper. She prefers wearing a large assortment of traditionally crafted yukata when the weather permits such weather, and often even when it does not. Beneath this, she usually wears clashing sports-wear that allows her to spring free from the tight trappings of her public regalia if the situation calls such for it. She has shown a great preference to the colors of red and white as well as floral designs.

===Mission Attire===
::The battle garb of a shinobi varies wildly from wearer to wearer as well as between regions. In the case of Mizumono, she tends to prefer traditional styles with modern ones. She typically wears a short kimono with long, wide sleeves that allow her to obscure the motions of her hands and arms with ease. She wears her shinobi vestments over top of this kimono, preferring those flak jackets and armoring that have little ornamentation and instead are selected with simply to math the coloration of her attire. She wears standard shinobi sandals of the variation that stretch up the length of her legs, stopping midway up her thighs. Given that she was previously well known as an imperial criminal and a key member of Konohagakure's resistance movement, she has taken to wearing masks when outside of the village as to prevent former enemies from exploiting her recent decrease in strength.

== Trivia ==
::''General Knowledge; IC''
:* "Mizumono" translates into "Matter of Chance" (lit. Matter of Water)
:* Mizumono was considered an S-Rank Missing Nin by the NCIA, despite being only a Chuunin
:* Mizumono is typically avoided by other veterans of the Konohagakure liberation, given her previous status as a dangerous and mentally unbalanced shinobi
:* Since meeting Uchiha Ozaku, Mizumono's mental state has been on the mend- her most ridiculous outbursts in recent times have only involved long and multi-sided debates about what foods to have at a buffet or snack stall.
:* Mizumono's first crush was on Darksol Anima.

== Quotes ==
* "''I don't even remember the name of this village... what makes you think that I'd possibly know where to buy clothes?''"
* "''Zaku! Tell your soul to stop moving!''"
* "''Hear that, everyone? We're running away. If you'd like to disagree, just let me know-- I don't mind dragging your unconscious body with me. I've got no desire to be the death of any more of you kids.''"
* "''Whoa there! Going right for the kill isn't any way to make friends, you know!''"

== OOC Trivia ==
::''Private Knowledge; OOC''
:* Mizumono's father is alive, but has gone missing since the end of the war. She has tried to locate him, to no avail.
:* As presumed and unfortunate result of inbreeding, Mizumono suffers from mild Schizophrenia and Dis-associative Identity Disorder
:* Mizumono formerly had the vengeful soul of a murdered Uchiha sealed within her, whose desire for revenge was used as a counterbalance to drown out her other personas.
:* The aforementioned Uchiha's seal has since worn off, leaving him primarily vacant from the girl's mind. The remainder of the chakra within the seal has been re-purposed to minimize the effects of her D.I.D.

::''Outside the Box; OOC''
:* Mizumono was originally based on Alia Atreides from Frank Herbert's DUNE series. Her multiple-personalities were originally meant to be genetic memory, though the notion was eventually abandoned in lieu of a more practical and less "meta-game" approach.
:* The Uchiha sealed within her, Uchiha Kaosu, was a former PC of [[Hardcore Skittlez]], and was used originally as a plot device to give Mizumono reason to pursue Kaosu's murderer, Uchiha Mizujin. Despite that, Mizumono and Mizujin have not had any in-character encounters.
:* Mizumono's combat prowess was so great that her later encounters were steered away from stat battles so that she would not end the fights too quickly or decisively.
:* Mizumono is the reason that the equipment stat-bonus rule was implemented, as she accumulated a great sum of money and had artificially inflated her level through item stats by nearly 30 levels.

<b>Hyūga Mizumono</b> (日向水物, Mizumono Hyūga) is a Genin of Konohagakure no Sato. She once suffered from extreme Dissassociative Identity Disorder and was subject to a highly experimental treatment that resulted in the reduction of her physical age and consequently the removal of her memory. Before her treatment, she was a potent Jōnin of Konohagakure, a member of the ANBU, and War Hero. In her prime, Mizumono was both incredibly powerful and incredibly volatile; if she was caught during a psychotic episode, it was very likely that anyone nearby would perish. She is most well known for single-handedly pushing the remaining NCIA forces out of Konohagakure(while [[Hyuuga Yatako]] liberated the Country of Fire as a whole) and for her deadly participation in the battle at [[Kinomi no Toshi]].

== Background ==
===Chapter I; The Best Laid Plans===

::Rinnegan. Tenseigan. These were legends, ideals, impossibilities within the mortal realm, and yet, it was seen that time and again such surfaced to those of impeccable heritage and proper circumstance. These unobtainable, noble, eyes were the motivation that drove a sect of the Hyūga clan to launch an expansive breeding plan to perfect their already immaculate line. This plan, carefully executed and protected as a secret among secrets, resulted in the eventual birth of Hyūga Mizumono. Her birth did not signify the greatest of glories returning to the Hyūga-- no, it in fact was a harbinger for failure. She was to be the ultimate culmination of their work and meticulous social engineering, but was instead a simple, if not inquisitive, child. The hope that had resided in her genes, however, was not abandoned by all; her father, seeking to continue the project and strive for perfection that seemed attainable only by the legends of old, sought to salvage her lineage that she might mother the child that would shine naught but light upon the already illustrious clan. For this, he required the girl's survival; she was taught the basics of Shinobi Combat and, when the time came, was held back from proper graduation for more personalized training. She was restricted to the clan estate and privately trained, allowed to grow stronger but not to participate in any activity that would require the proof of her skills. It was during these times of dull peace that the first of her 'symptoms' of her heritage began to show- she manifested various other, erratic, personalities and interacted with them as though she were playing with ghosts about the estate. In an attempt to salvage her mind long enough to carry on her line, the girl's father engaged in a great taboo and struck a deal with a dying boy. Uchiha Kaosu was to be sealed within Mizumono's mind as a ward against the slow deterioration of her mind in exchange for the ability to seek revenge against the cousin who had been his undoing. Unknown to her father, this singular action would bring Mizumono to the precipice of death time and time again when Kaosu proved that his loyalties lie entirely with himself and not with the terms of their original agreement.

::Within the very same year, Kumogakure no Sato launched their mad blitz that conquered most of the known world. Again, in an attempt to preserve the world that had resulted in Mizumono's birth, she was handed to the N.C.I.A to join the ranks and protection of their organized and potent military force. Within the ranks of the Imperial military, Mizumono became acquainted with her first and best friends: Nenshou Toko and Darksol Anima. Though she had finally obtained friends of her own, Mizumono grew to be concerned for the well being of her family and returned to Konohagakure to investigate how it had fared in the year since her departure.

===Chapter II; Sunset on Sanity===

::After returning to Konohagakure, Mizumono found that the village was in tatters. Despite having barely recovered from the blitzkrieg, the remaining members of Konoha's shinobi force had taken up arms against their occupants, attempting to oust them from their precious nation. Though it was a hard fought battle, the rebellion was ultimately quashed and disbanded. She heard of what had happened from the brother of Hyūga Yatako, who then instructed her to find the prodigal cousin and learn from him, that she might one day lift Konoha's banner in a renewed resistance. Though she did not consider herself much of a revolutionary, she took the call to arms and decided that if anything was worth fighting for, it was home.

::Her search for Yatako brought her to the Land of Coal, where she was met by Amshiro Suzuke and his partner, Shodaan. These two boys were fresh members of a newly formed organization known as Hakumei, the spiritual successor to the once infamous mercenary organization "Akatsuki". Though Shodaan's loyalty to Hakumei was unwavering, Suzuke had been questioning their motives for some time and slowly grew to become friends with Mizumono. He had decided that their draconic methods were not those that he wished to employ and helped the young Hyūga locate Yatako, who arranged for Suzuke's death to be impersonated that he could be free of Hakumei pursuit as he left the nation. The two teens became the first students of Hyūga Yatako, the man who would one day be Hokage.

::On their journey away from the Land of Coal, Mizumono chanced upon a blade that would serve to facilitate great change in her life: the legendary blade of cherry blossoms, Senbonzakura. Though she had not yet unlocked its inherent potential, Mizumono trained alongside Yatako and Suzuke until she had honed herself into a weapon worthy of holding Konohagakure no Sato's war banner. However, as she grew stronger, so too did Kaosu's influence upon her mind. He took hold of her already fragile ego and caused her to flee her friend and teacher, ultimately regaining full control of herself only when she had crossed into the Land of Water.

::Within Mizu no Kuni, the fleeing Hyūga encountered a group of Konohagakure genin who mistook her for a proper member of the N.C.I.A. They did battle, but ultimately fell to her blade. Still recovering from the fracture that Kaosu had delivered to her psyche, she acted drastically and slew one of the unconscious genin as an example that would keep the others from risking their lives against her yet again. Before she could make off with her newly found prisoners, Mizumono was interrupted by their jonin and promptly defeated. She had explained only part of her situation, indicating that she was a member of the Konohagakure Resistance who had been mistaken as a Kumogakure Shinobi and was merely defending herself. The jonin cautiously took her word and allowed her to join their group for the time.

::The group barely had time to bury their fallen comrade before they were ushered onto a boat and sent back toward the Land of Fire. Aboard this boat, Mizumono experienced the telepathic touch of Senbonzakura for the first time; she learned of the blade's powers, its name, and some small measure of the creature that it once had been. Though she was not able to discern whether or not it was actually the blade speaking to her, she accepted its power with no further questioning. She barely had time to practice fighting with the blade's released state before the group of shinobi were called to the ship's deck. There, Mizumono saw a face she never expected to witness again: Shodaan. He had been obviously drugged, but was resisting captivity. The jonin that had allowed her continued survival explained to her that he posed a threat to their resistance, as he was a member of the criminal organization Hakumei. In order to prove her loyalty to the resistance movement, she was told that she would be the teen's executioner. Not wanting to take his life so callously, she agreed only if she could fight him to the death, even despite his impairments. Their battle was short lived- Shodaan opted to blow himself up in a grand display of strength rather than be slain by the hands of another.

::Shortly after the fateful encounter, the boat docked and allowed the group of Konohagkaure shinobi to reach their destination: a small town known as Kinomi no Toshi. They arrived to convene with a larger group of Resistance shinobi, only to be ambushed by a large NCIA Hunter-Ninja force. Though the battle was split into many potion, Mizumono utilized the newly found powers of her blade to eliminate a large quantity of the force... as well as her own team-mates. Once again, her mind crumbled beneath a schism of many interests; as she had done all of her life, she fled.

===Chapter III; The Shattered Hero===

::Mizumono fled from battle after battle in an attempt to find a quiet place to repair herself and make sense of the myriad of voices that clamored loudly now within her mind. She had found such no such a place-- instead, her attempts to find peace had lead her to the heart of war. She appeared in Nigiyakashufu as the Rebellion was reaching its crescendo. The leaders of each individual nation had gathered together alongside their forces for a final push to defeat the Raikage and oust the Empire's fell control once and for all. Seeing this as an opportunity to redeem herself, Mizumono joined the battle.

::While the leaders of each nation's resistance forces were engaged with the Raikage and his elite generals, Mizumono pitted herself against a potent woman with pumpkin-colored eyes. The woman was able to suspend Senbonzakura's petals amidst a torrent of wind and nearly defeated Mizumono, but was ultimately overturned when the girl tapped into Kaosu's sealed chakra and collapsed the woman's chakra circulatory system.

::After the battle, Mizumono met up again with Yatako and subjected herself to his judgment in an attempt to atone for the great misdeeds she had done over the course of the war. Seeming to want to put it all behind the world, Yatako agreed to absolve her of her crimes if she would pledge her blade to ousting the last remnants of the NCIA from Hi no Kuni. She agreed without hesitation and set out to Konohagakure while Yatako himself took the majority of the remaining Konohagakure resistance forces to Hotarunoshi.

::With Senbonzakura at her side, Mizumono pushed the remaining NCIA forces out of Konohagakure, unceremoniously ridding the nation of its last bits of Kumogakure taint. In doing so, she became decorated as a War Hero and was afforded the right to rejoin Konohagakure as a jonin and ANBU member; she accepted and attempted to return to a normal life.

===Chapter IV; A Matter of Chance===

::Despite all of her best efforts to bring her sins to a close, Mizumono remained haunted by the many personalities that gripped her mind at any moment that she let her guard down. Slowly, over several months, her sanity waned and withered away, leaving her a twisted husk of a human. She was admitted into a hospital and cared for, though no progress was made until a fateful night in which she overpowered her orderlies and escaped the hospital. The girl, confused and caught within a haze of too many voices, lost herself in the forests that surrounded Konohagakure no Sato.

::When she awoke, her thoughts were frighteningly clear-- and silent. She could not appreciate this fact, however, as she did not have any recollection of any of the events of the war or months thereafter. While wandering the forest, lost, she met an unlikely savor: Uchiha Ozaku. The boy guided her back to town and attempted to decipher who she was and where she came from. Birds of a feather, the two bonded almost immediately after spending the day together. As night began to fall, Mizumono lost consciousness yet again and unconsciously allowed Kaosu to take control of her body. For the first time, he did not immediately force her to flee or carry on his bloodthirsty vengeance. Instead, the boy-spirit explained to Ozaku what had happened to Mizumono and that he had slowly fallen in love with her over the years they spent together. After she had broken open his seal in Nigiyakashufu, his chakra was bleeding from her and he would soon be gone. He used the last of his chakra to create a narcoleptic fail-safe within the girl; any time her mind became overwhelmed by her splintered personalities, she would fall into a deep sleep. Kaosu passed on the burden of taking care of Mizumono to Ozaku and, as suddenly as he appeared, he vanished from her body.

::In the years thereafter, Ozaku served as her guardian, her confidant, and eventually her lover. For a time, she was allowed a relatively normal life. Though time was a salve for some, it eventually proved to be Mizumono's undoing. Her bouts of narcolepsy increased dramatically over time, leading Ozaku to reveal her unique condition to the doctors that she had been seeing about the matter. An extensive analysis of her brain thereafter revealed that the unhinging of Kaosu's seal in addition to the condition he had instated within her had caused increasing amounts of damage to her brain. The result of which was that the flares of her alternate personas came with increasing frequency, resulting in the sleeping seal triggering more often, which in turn continued to damage her brain. Though the outlook seemed grim for Mizumono, she was approached by an enigmatic pragmatist of a doctor who offered to her a unique and experimental treatment. He claimed to have studied the ability of certain types of chakra to reverse and regenerate damaged tissue, but that it given the brain's interconnection throughout the body, he would have to implement the procedure on the entirety of her body. The result of this procedure was clear: her physical form would be reverted to whatever state it was in before Kaosu's original seal had been implemented. She would become young and rejuvenated, though she would lose the majority of the memories that she had formed between then and now. Mizumono agreed to his terms and allowed the procedure to be done.

===Chapter V; A Titan Reborn===

::After recovering from the procedure that had reverted her age many years, Mizumono found herself curious and confused. Ozaku explained much of what he knew of her last several years and why she had agreed to undergo it. Though hesitant, she accepted his explanation and returned home with the boy. Though her new and altered state prevented their relationship from continuing as it had previously, Ozaku began to look over her as a mentor and a guardian, teaching her all that he could to help her return to the life she once had.

::Though her abilities have diminished severely as a byproduct of the treatment, Mizumono has again embraced the way of the Shinobi and now seeks to hone her skills so that she may one day find those that she hurt and repent for the misdeeds of her illness.

== Personality ==
:Mizumono, in the current era, is a changed individual. Once broken, then crazed, now optimistic; this Hyūga girl is in many ways the person that she was never allowed to be in the past. She is excitable and optimistic, always preferring to look for the bright side of a bad situation and the light of decency in those she interacts with. She is friendly and mostly polite, though enjoys playfully teasing those she befriends at every given opportunity. Despite, or perhaps due to, the severity of the life that she has been made to live, Mizumono possesses an incredibly lighthearted outlook on life and tends to view almost everything as a game or a competition. Though she greatly enjoys competitive sport, she typically accepts loss in stride and savors learning from each defeat.

:She is a highly selfless individual, frequently pushing herself beyond her natural means to help someone in any amount of distress. Valuing friendship above all else, she places the well being of her friends and companions well above her own- a facet of her personality that often sees her taking the blame for others' mishaps or facing injury in place of another.

:Due to the extensive medical work that she has undergone in recent years, much of the instability in her personality has all but vanished. She no longer has bouts of alternative personas taking hold of her mind, nor is she incredibly susceptible to psychotic breaks caused by her own formerly splintering persona. The nature of her affliction, however, is not entirely able to be cured and consequently leaves her with still occasional flashes of memories from before her treatment and those fabricated memories of the differing personas that once inhabited her mind.

== Appearance ==
:In previous years, Mizumono preferred her hair to be cropped short with messy and uneven cuts, using her very appearance as a means to rebel against the heavy-handed manipulations of her family. Time had mended her need for rebellion and allowed her to begin wearing her hair straightened and unadorned as she grew into adulthood. With her physical form reverted and a mind now mostly mended, she has taken to a combination of the two styles that help her to reclaim a bit of who she once was. Her corvid stands are now worn tied into a high ponytail with messy bangs allowed to hang at either side of her expression, framing her the sharp features of her face. Her eyes are sharply formed, but bright with inquisitive energy; it is not uncommon to see her eyes crinkling with a wide and infectious smile. Though shimmering with continual excitement, the ashen hue of Mizumono's gaze often gives her the appearance that she is looking through or past an individual rather than at them.

:Despite having her body subject to the strange flows of age manipulation, the petite kunoichi remains very much as she ever was. The creme hue of her skin is stretched taught over well toned musculature indicative of a considerable amount of physical training. She is diminutive and svelte, holding soft and subtle slopes that indicate that she has yet again to travel through the entirety of her growth into woman-hood. Her features are fine and well formed, granting her an aesthetic of budding elegance.

===Civilian Attire===
::The civilian attire of this particular Hyūga is modest and proper. She prefers wearing a large assortment of traditionally crafted yukata when the weather permits such weather, and often even when it does not. Beneath this, she usually wears clashing sports-wear that allows her to spring free from the tight trappings of her public regalia if the situation calls such for it. She has shown a great preference to the colors of red and white as well as floral designs.

===Mission Attire===
::The battle garb of a shinobi varies wildly from wearer to wearer as well as between regions. In the case of Mizumono, she tends to prefer traditional styles with modern ones. She typically wears a short kimono with long, wide sleeves that allow her to obscure the motions of her hands and arms with ease. She wears her shinobi vestments over top of this kimono, preferring those flak jackets and armoring that have little ornamentation and instead are selected with simply to math the coloration of her attire. She wears standard shinobi sandals of the variation that stretch up the length of her legs, stopping midway up her thighs. Given that she was previously well known as an imperial criminal and a key member of Konohagakure's resistance movement, she has taken to wearing masks when outside of the village as to prevent former enemies from exploiting her recent decrease in strength.

== Trivia ==
::''General Knowledge; IC''
:* "Mizumono" translates into "Matter of Chance" (lit. Matter of Water)
:* Mizumono was considered an S-Rank Missing Nin by the NCIA, despite being only a Chuunin
:* Mizumono is typically avoided by other veterans of the Konohagakure liberation, given her previous status as a dangerous and mentally unbalanced shinobi
:* Since meeting Uchiha Ozaku, Mizumono's mental state has been on the mend- her most ridiculous outbursts in recent times have only involved long and multi-sided debates about what foods to have at a buffet or snack stall.
:* Mizumono's first crush was on Darksol Anima.

== Quotes ==

== OOC Trivia ==
::''Private Knowledge; OOC''
:* Mizumono's father is alive, but has gone missing since the end of the war. She has tried to locate him, to no avail.
:* As presumed and unfortunate result of inbreeding, Mizumono suffers from mild Schizophrenia and Dis-associative Identity Disorder
:* Mizumono formerly had the vengeful soul of a murdered Uchiha sealed within her, whose desire for revenge was used as a counterbalance to drown out her other personas.
:* The aforementioned Uchiha's seal has since worn off, leaving him primarily vacant from the girl's mind. The remainder of the chakra within the seal has been re-purposed to minimize the effects of her D.I.D.

::''Outside the Box; OOC''
:* Mizumono was originally based on Alia Atreides from Frank Herbert's DUNE series. Her multiple-personalities were originally meant to be genetic memory, though the notion was eventually abandoned in lieu of a more practical and less "meta-game" approach.
:* The Uchiha sealed within her, Uchiha Kaosu, was a former PC of [[Hardcore Skittlez]], and was used originally as a plot device to give Mizumono reason to pursue Kaosu's murderer, Uchiha Mizujin. Despite that, Mizumono and Mizujin have not had any in-character encounters.
:* Mizumono's combat prowess was so great that her later encounters were steered away from stat battles so that she would not end the fights too quickly or decisively.
:* Mizumono is the reason that the equipment stat-bonus rule was implemented, as she accumulated a great sum of money and had artificially inflated her level through item stats by nearly 30 levels.

<b>Hyūga Mizumono</b> (kanji/kata, english) insert short summary here.

== Background ==
===Chapter I; The Best Laid Plans===

::Rinnegan. Tenseigan. These were legends, ideals, impossibilities within the mortal realm, and yet, it was seen that time and again such surfaced to those of impeccable heritage and proper circumstance. These unobtainable, noble, eyes were the motivation that drove a sect of the Hyūga clan to launch an expansive breeding plan to perfect their already immaculate line. This plan, carefully executed and protected as a secret among secrets, resulted in the eventual birth of Hyūga Mizumono. Her birth did not signify the greatest of glories returning to the Hyūga-- no, it in fact was a harbinger for failure. She was to be the ultimate culmination of their work and meticulous social engineering, but was instead a simple, if not inquisitive, child. The hope that had resided in her genes, however, was not abandoned by all; her father, seeking to continue the project and strive for perfection that seemed attainable only by the legends of old, sought to salvage her lineage that she might mother the child that would shine naught but light upon the already illustrious clan. For this, he required the girl's survival; she was taught the basics of Shinobi Combat and, when the time came, was held back from proper graduation for more personalized training. She was restricted to the clan estate and privately trained, allowed to grow stronger but not to participate in any activity that would require the proof of her skills. It was during these times of dull peace that the first of her 'symptoms' of her heritage began to show- she manifested various other, erratic, personalities and interacted with them as though she were playing with ghosts about the estate. In an attempt to salvage her mind long enough to carry on her line, the girl's father engaged in a great taboo and struck a deal with a dying boy. Uchiha Kaosu was to be sealed within Mizumono's mind as a ward against the slow deterioration of her mind in exchange for the ability to seek revenge against the cousin who had been his undoing. Unknown to her father, this singular action would bring Mizumono to the precipice of death time and time again when Kaosu proved that his loyalties lie entirely with himself and not with the terms of their original agreement.

::Within the very same year, Kumogakure no Sato launched their mad blitz that conquered most of the known world. Again, in an attempt to preserve the world that had resulted in Mizumono's birth, she was handed to the N.C.I.A to join the ranks and protection of their organized and potent military force. Within the ranks of the Imperial military, Mizumono became acquainted with her first and best friends: Nenshou Toko and Darksol Anima. Though she had finally obtained friends of her own, Mizumono grew to be concerned for the well being of her family and returned to Konohagakure to investigate how it had fared in the year since her departure.

===Chapter II; Sunset on Sanity===

::After returning to Konohagakure, Mizumono found that the village was in tatters. Despite having barely recovered from the blitzkrieg, the remaining members of Konoha's shinobi force had taken up arms against their occupants, attempting to oust them from their precious nation. Though it was a hard fought battle, the rebellion was ultimately quashed and disbanded. She heard of what had happened from the brother of Hyūga Yatako, who then instructed her to find the prodigal cousin and learn from him, that she might one day lift Konoha's banner in a renewed resistance. Though she did not consider herself much of a revolutionary, she took the call to arms and decided that if anything was worth fighting for, it was home.

::Her search for Yatako brought her to the Land of Coal, where she was met by Amshiro Suzuke and his partner, Shodaan. These two boys were fresh members of a newly formed organization known as Hakumei, the spiritual successor to the once infamous mercenary organization "Akatsuki". Though Shodaan's loyalty to Hakumei was unwavering, Suzuke had been questioning their motives for some time and slowly grew to become friends with Mizumono. He had decided that their draconic methods were not those that he wished to employ and helped the young Hyūga locate Yatako, who arranged for Suzuke's death to be impersonated that he could be free of Hakumei pursuit as he left the nation. The two teens became the first students of Hyūga Yatako, the man who would one day be Hokage.

::On their journey away from the Land of Coal, Mizumono chanced upon a blade that would serve to facilitate great change in her life: the legendary blade of cherry blossoms, Senbonzakura. Though she had not yet unlocked its inherent potential, Mizumono trained alongside Yatako and Suzuke until she had honed herself into a weapon worthy of holding Konohagakure no Sato's war banner. However, as she grew stronger, so too did Kaosu's influence upon her mind. He took hold of her already fragile ego and caused her to flee her friend and teacher, ultimately regaining full control of herself only when she had crossed into the Land of Water.

::Within Mizu no Kuni, the fleeing Hyūga encountered a group of Konohagakure genin who mistook her for a proper member of the N.C.I.A. They did battle, but ultimately fell to her blade. Still recovering from the fracture that Kaosu had delivered to her psyche, she acted drastically and slew one of the unconscious genin as an example that would keep the others from risking their lives against her yet again. Before she could make off with her newly found prisoners, Mizumono was interrupted by their jonin and promptly defeated. She had explained only part of her situation, indicating that she was a member of the Konohagakure Resistance who had been mistaken as a Kumogakure Shinobi and was merely defending herself. The jonin cautiously took her word and allowed her to join their group for the time.

::The group barely had time to bury their fallen comrade before they were ushered onto a boat and sent back toward the Land of Fire. Aboard this boat, Mizumono experienced the telepathic touch of Senbonzakura for the first time; she learned of the blade's powers, its name, and some small measure of the creature that it once had been. Though she was not able to discern whether or not it was actually the blade speaking to her, she accepted its power with no further questioning. She barely had time to practice fighting with the blade's released state before the group of shinobi were called to the ship's deck. There, Mizumono saw a face she never expected to witness again: Shodaan. He had been obviously drugged, but was resisting captivity. The jonin that had allowed her continued survival explained to her that he posed a threat to their resistance, as he was a member of the criminal organization Hakumei. In order to prove her loyalty to the resistance movement, she was told that she would be the teen's executioner. Not wanting to take his life so callously, she agreed only if she could fight him to the death, even despite his impairments. Their battle was short lived- Shodaan opted to blow himself up in a grand display of strength rather than be slain by the hands of another.

::Shortly after the fateful encounter, the boat docked and allowed the group of Konohagkaure shinobi to reach their destination: a small town known as Kinomi no Toshi. They arrived to convene with a larger group of Resistance shinobi, only to be ambushed by a large NCIA Hunter-Ninja force. Though the battle was split into many potion, Mizumono utilized the newly found powers of her blade to eliminate a large quantity of the force... as well as her own team-mates. Once again, her mind crumbled beneath a schism of many interests; as she had done all of her life, she fled.

===Chapter III; The Shattered Hero===

::Mizumono fled from battle after battle in an attempt to find a quiet place to repair herself and make sense of the myriad of voices that clamored loudly now within her mind. She had found such no such a place-- instead, her attempts to find peace had lead her to the heart of war. She appeared in Nigiyakashufu as the Rebellion was reaching its crescendo. The leaders of each individual nation had gathered together alongside their forces for a final push to defeat the Raikage and oust the Empire's fell control once and for all. Seeing this as an opportunity to redeem herself, Mizumono joined the battle.

::While the leaders of each nation's resistance forces were engaged with the Raikage and his elite generals, Mizumono pitted herself against a potent woman with pumpkin-colored eyes. The woman was able to suspend Senbonzakura's petals amidst a torrent of wind and nearly defeated Mizumono, but was ultimately overturned when the girl tapped into Kaosu's sealed chakra and collapsed the woman's chakra circulatory system.

::After the battle, Mizumono met up again with Yatako and subjected herself to his judgment in an attempt to atone for the great misdeeds she had done over the course of the war. Seeming to want to put it all behind the world, Yatako agreed to absolve her of her crimes if she would pledge her blade to ousting the last remnants of the NCIA from Hi no Kuni. She agreed without hesitation and set out to Konohagakure while Yatako himself took the majority of the remaining Konohagakure resistance forces to Hotarunoshi.

::With Senbonzakura at her side, Mizumono pushed the remaining NCIA forces out of Konohagakure, unceremoniously ridding the nation of its last bits of Kumogakure taint. In doing so, she became decorated as a War Hero and was afforded the right to rejoin Konohagakure as a jonin and ANBU member; she accepted and attempted to return to a normal life.

===Chapter IV; A Matter of Chance===

::Despite all of her best efforts to bring her sins to a close, Mizumono remained haunted by the many personalities that gripped her mind at any moment that she let her guard down. Slowly, over several months, her sanity waned and withered away, leaving her a twisted husk of a human. She was admitted into a hospital and cared for, though no progress was made until a fateful night in which she overpowered her orderlies and escaped the hospital. The girl, confused and caught within a haze of too many voices, lost herself in the forests that surrounded Konohagakure no Sato.

::When she awoke, her thoughts were frighteningly clear-- and silent. She could not appreciate this fact, however, as she did not have any recollection of any of the events of the war or months thereafter. While wandering the forest, lost, she met an unlikely savor: Uchiha Ozaku. The boy guided her back to town and attempted to decipher who she was and where she came from. Birds of a feather, the two bonded almost immediately after spending the day together. As night began to fall, Mizumono lost consciousness yet again and unconsciously allowed Kaosu to take control of her body. For the first time, he did not immediately force her to flee or carry on his bloodthirsty vengeance. Instead, the boy-spirit explained to Ozaku what had happened to Mizumono and that he had slowly fallen in love with her over the years they spent together. After she had broken open his seal in Nigiyakashufu, his chakra was bleeding from her and he would soon be gone. He used the last of his chakra to create a narcoleptic fail-safe within the girl; any time her mind became overwhelmed by her splintered personalities, she would fall into a deep sleep. Kaosu passed on the burden of taking care of Mizumono to Ozaku and, as suddenly as he appeared, he vanished from her body.

::In the years thereafter, Ozaku served as her guardian, her confidant, and eventually her lover. For a time, she was allowed a relatively normal life. Though time was a salve for some, it eventually proved to be Mizumono's undoing. Her bouts of narcolepsy increased dramatically over time, leading Ozaku to reveal her unique condition to the doctors that she had been seeing about the matter. An extensive analysis of her brain thereafter revealed that the unhinging of Kaosu's seal in addition to the condition he had instated within her had caused increasing amounts of damage to her brain. The result of which was that the flares of her alternate personas came with increasing frequency, resulting in the sleeping seal triggering more often, which in turn continued to damage her brain. Though the outlook seemed grim for Mizumono, she was approached by an enigmatic pragmatist of a doctor who offered to her a unique and experimental treatment. He claimed to have studied the ability of certain types of chakra to reverse and regenerate damaged tissue, but that it given the brain's interconnection throughout the body, he would have to implement the procedure on the entirety of her body. The result of this procedure was clear: her physical form would be reverted to whatever state it was in before Kaosu's original seal had been implemented. She would become young and rejuvenated, though she would lose the majority of the memories that she had formed between then and now. Mizumono agreed to his terms and allowed the procedure to be done.

===Chapter V; A Titan Reborn===

::After recovering from the procedure that had reverted her age many years, Mizumono found herself curious and confused. Ozaku explained much of what he knew of her last several years and why she had agreed to undergo it. Though hesitant, she accepted his explanation and returned home with the boy. Though her new and altered state prevented their relationship from continuing as it had previously, Ozaku began to look over her as a mentor and a guardian, teaching her all that he could to help her return to the life she once had.

::Though her abilities have diminished severely as a byproduct of the treatment, Mizumono has again embraced the way of the Shinobi and now seeks to hone her skills so that she may one day find those that she hurt and repent for the misdeeds of her illness.

== Personality ==
:Mizumono, in the current era, is a changed individual. Once broken, then crazed, now optimistic; this Hyūga girl is in many ways the person that she was never allowed to be in the past. She is excitable and optimistic, always preferring to look for the bright side of a bad situation and the light of decency in those she interacts with. She is friendly and mostly polite, though enjoys playfully teasing those she befriends at every given opportunity. Despite, or perhaps due to, the severity of the life that she has been made to live, Mizumono possesses an incredibly lighthearted outlook on life and tends to view almost everything as a game or a competition. Though she greatly enjoys competitive sport, she typically accepts loss in stride and savors learning from each defeat.

:She is a highly selfless individual, frequently pushing herself beyond her natural means to help someone in any amount of distress. Valuing friendship above all else, she places the well being of her friends and companions well above her own- a facet of her personality that often sees her taking the blame for others' mishaps or facing injury in place of another.

:Due to the extensive medical work that she has undergone in recent years, much of the instability in her personality has all but vanished. She no longer has bouts of alternative personas taking hold of her mind, nor is she incredibly susceptible to psychotic breaks caused by her own formerly splintering persona. The nature of her affliction, however, is not entirely able to be cured and consequently leaves her with still occasional flashes of memories from before her treatment and those fabricated memories of the differing personas that once inhabited her mind.

== Appearance ==
:In previous years, Mizumono preferred her hair to be cropped short with messy and uneven cuts, using her very appearance as a means to rebel against the heavy-handed manipulations of her family. Time had mended her need for rebellion and allowed her to begin wearing her hair straightened and unadorned as she grew into adulthood. With her physical form reverted and a mind now mostly mended, she has taken to a combination of the two styles that help her to reclaim a bit of who she once was. Her corvid stands are now worn tied into a high ponytail with messy bangs allowed to hang at either side of her expression, framing her the sharp features of her face. Her eyes are sharply formed, but bright with inquisitive energy; it is not uncommon to see her eyes crinkling with a wide and infectious smile. Though shimmering with continual excitement, the ashen hue of Mizumono's gaze often gives her the appearance that she is looking through or past an individual rather than at them.

:Despite having her body subject to the strange flows of age manipulation, the petite kunoichi remains very much as she ever was. The creme hue of her skin is stretched taught over well toned musculature indicative of a considerable amount of physical training. She is diminutive and svelte, holding soft and subtle slopes that indicate that she has yet again to travel through the entirety of her growth into woman-hood. Her features are fine and well formed, granting her an aesthetic of budding elegance.

===Civilian Attire===
::The civilian attire of this particular Hyūga is modest and proper. She prefers wearing a large assortment of traditionally crafted yukata when the weather permits such weather, and often even when it does not. Beneath this, she usually wears clashing sports-wear that allows her to spring free from the tight trappings of her public regalia if the situation calls such for it. She has shown a great preference to the colors of red and white as well as floral designs.

===Mission Attire===
::The battle garb of a shinobi varies wildly from wearer to wearer as well as between regions. In the case of Mizumono, she tends to prefer traditional styles with modern ones. She typically wears a short kimono with long, wide sleeves that allow her to obscure the motions of her hands and arms with ease. She wears her shinobi vestments over top of this kimono, preferring those flak jackets and armoring that have little ornamentation and instead are selected with simply to math the coloration of her attire. She wears standard shinobi sandals of the variation that stretch up the length of her legs, stopping midway up her thighs. Given that she was previously well known as an imperial criminal and a key member of Konohagakure's resistance movement, she has taken to wearing masks when outside of the village as to prevent former enemies from exploiting her recent decrease in strength.

== Trivia ==
::''General Knowledge; IC''
:* "Mizumono" translates into "Matter of Chance" (lit. Matter of Water)
:* Mizumono was considered an S-Rank Missing Nin by the NCIA, despite being only a Chuunin
:* Mizumono is typically avoided by other veterans of the Konohagakure liberation, given her previous status as a dangerous and mentally unbalanced shinobi
:* Since meeting Uchiha Ozaku, Mizumono's mental state has been on the mend- her most ridiculous outbursts in recent times have only involved long and multi-sided debates about what foods to have at a buffet or snack stall.
:* Mizumono's first crush was on Darksol Anima.

== Quotes ==
* --

== OOC Trivia ==
::''Private Knowledge; OOC''
:* Mizumono's father is alive, but has gone missing since the end of the war. She has tried to locate him, to no avail.
:* As presumed and unfortunate result of inbreeding, Mizumono suffers from mild Schizophrenia and Dis-associative Identity Disorder
:* Mizumono formerly had the vengeful soul of a murdered Uchiha sealed within her, whose desire for revenge was used as a counterbalance to drown out her other personas.
:* The aforementioned Uchiha's seal has since worn off, leaving him primarily vacant from the girl's mind. The remainder of the chakra within the seal has been re-purposed to minimize the effects of her D.I.D.

::''Outside the Box; OOC''
:* Mizumono was originally based on Alia Atreides from Frank Herbert's DUNE series. Her multiple-personalities were originally meant to be genetic memory, though the notion was eventually abandoned in lieu of a more practical and less "meta-game" approach.
:* The Uchiha sealed within her, Uchiha Kaosu, was a former PC of [[Hardcore Skittlez]], and was used originally as a plot device to give Mizumono reason to pursue Kaosu's murderer, Uchiha Mizujin. Despite that, Mizumono and Mizujin have not had any in-character encounters.
:* Mizumono's combat prowess was so great that her later encounters were steered away from stat battles so that she would not end the fights too quickly or decisively.
:* Mizumono is the reason that the equipment stat-bonus rule was implemented, as she accumulated a great sum of money and had artificially inflated her level through item stats by nearly 30 levels.

<b>Hyūga Mizumono</b> (kanji/kata, english) insert short summary here.

== Background ==
===Chapter I; The Best Laid Plans===

::Rinnegan. Tenseigan. These were legends, ideals, impossibilities within the mortal realm, and yet, it was seen that time and again such surfaced to those of impeccable heritage and proper circumstance. These unobtainable, noble, eyes were the motivation that drove a sect of the Hyūga clan to launch an expansive breeding plan to perfect their already immaculate line. This plan, carefully executed and protected as a secret among secrets, resulted in the eventual birth of Hyūga Mizumono. Her birth did not signify the greatest of glories returning to the Hyūga-- no, it in fact was a harbinger for failure. She was to be the ultimate culmination of their work and meticulous social engineering, but was instead a simple, if not inquisitive, child. The hope that had resided in her genes, however, was not abandoned by all; her father, seeking to continue the project and strive for perfection that seemed attainable only by the legends of old, sought to salvage her lineage that she might mother the child that would shine naught but light upon the already illustrious clan. For this, he required the girl's survival; she was taught the basics of Shinobi Combat and, when the time came, was held back from proper graduation for more personalized training. She was restricted to the clan estate and privately trained, allowed to grow stronger but not to participate in any activity that would require the proof of her skills. It was during these times of dull peace that the first of her 'symptoms' of her heritage began to show- she manifested various other, erratic, personalities and interacted with them as though she were playing with ghosts about the estate. In an attempt to salvage her mind long enough to carry on her line, the girl's father engaged in a great taboo and struck a deal with a dying boy. Uchiha Kaosu was to be sealed within Mizumono's mind as a ward against the slow deterioration of her mind in exchange for the ability to seek revenge against the cousin who had been his undoing. Unknown to her father, this singular action would bring Mizumono to the precipice of death time and time again when Kaosu proved that his loyalties lie entirely with himself and not with the terms of their original agreement.

::Within the very same year, Kumogakure no Sato launched their mad blitz that conquered most of the known world. Again, in an attempt to preserve the world that had resulted in Mizumono's birth, she was handed to the N.C.I.A to join the ranks and protection of their organized and potent military force. Within the ranks of the Imperial military, Mizumono became acquainted with her first and best friends: Nenshou Toko and Darksol Anima. Though she had finally obtained friends of her own, Mizumono grew to be concerned for the well being of her family and returned to Konohagakure to investigate how it had fared in the year since her departure.

===Chapter II; Sunset on Sanity===

::After returning to Konohagakure, Mizumono found that the village was in tatters. Despite having barely recovered from the blitzkrieg, the remaining members of Konoha's shinobi force had taken up arms against their occupants, attempting to oust them from their precious nation. Though it was a hard fought battle, the rebellion was ultimately quashed and disbanded. She heard of what had happened from the brother of Hyūga Yatako, who then instructed her to find the prodigal cousin and learn from him, that she might one day lift Konoha's banner in a renewed resistance. Though she did not consider herself much of a revolutionary, she took the call to arms and decided that if anything was worth fighting for, it was home.

::Her search for Yatako brought her to the Land of Coal, where she was met by Amshiro Suzuke and his partner, Shodaan. These two boys were fresh members of a newly formed organization known as Hakumei, the spiritual successor to the once infamous mercenary organization "Akatsuki". Though Shodaan's loyalty to Hakumei was unwavering, Suzuke had been questioning their motives for some time and slowly grew to become friends with Mizumono. He had decided that their draconic methods were not those that he wished to employ and helped the young Hyūga locate Yatako, who arranged for Suzuke's death to be impersonated that he could be free of Hakumei pursuit as he left the nation. The two teens became the first students of Hyūga Yatako, the man who would one day be Hokage.

::On their journey away from the Land of Coal, Mizumono chanced upon a blade that would serve to facilitate great change in her life: the legendary blade of cherry blossoms, Senbonzakura. Though she had not yet unlocked its inherent potential, Mizumono trained alongside Yatako and Suzuke until she had honed herself into a weapon worthy of holding Konohagakure no Sato's war banner. However, as she grew stronger, so too did Kaosu's influence upon her mind. He took hold of her already fragile ego and caused her to flee her friend and teacher, ultimately regaining full control of herself only when she had crossed into the Land of Water.

::Within Mizu no Kuni, the fleeing Hyūga encountered a group of Konohagakure genin who mistook her for a proper member of the N.C.I.A. They did battle, but ultimately fell to her blade. Still recovering from the fracture that Kaosu had delivered to her psyche, she acted drastically and slew one of the unconscious genin as an example that would keep the others from risking their lives against her yet again. Before she could make off with her newly found prisoners, Mizumono was interrupted by their jonin and promptly defeated. She had explained only part of her situation, indicating that she was a member of the Konohagakure Resistance who had been mistaken as a Kumogakure Shinobi and was merely defending herself. The jonin cautiously took her word and allowed her to join their group for the time.

::The group barely had time to bury their fallen comrade before they were ushered onto a boat and sent back toward the Land of Fire. Aboard this boat, Mizumono experienced the telepathic touch of Senbonzakura for the first time; she learned of the blade's powers, its name, and some small measure of the creature that it once had been. Though she was not able to discern whether or not it was actually the blade speaking to her, she accepted its power with no further questioning. She barely had time to practice fighting with the blade's released state before the group of shinobi were called to the ship's deck. There, Mizumono saw a face she never expected to witness again: Shodaan. He had been obviously drugged, but was resisting captivity. The jonin that had allowed her continued survival explained to her that he posed a threat to their resistance, as he was a member of the criminal organization Hakumei. In order to prove her loyalty to the resistance movement, she was told that she would be the teen's executioner. Not wanting to take his life so callously, she agreed only if she could fight him to the death, even despite his impairments. Their battle was short lived- Shodaan opted to blow himself up in a grand display of strength rather than be slain by the hands of another.

::Shortly after the fateful encounter, the boat docked and allowed the group of Konohagkaure shinobi to reach their destination: a small town known as Kinomi no Toshi. They arrived to convene with a larger group of Resistance shinobi, only to be ambushed by a large NCIA Hunter-Ninja force. Though the battle was split into many potion, Mizumono utilized the newly found powers of her blade to eliminate a large quantity of the force... as well as her own team-mates. Once again, her mind crumbled beneath a schism of many interests; as she had done all of her life, she fled.

===Chapter III; The Shattered Hero===

::Mizumono fled from battle after battle in an attempt to find a quiet place to repair herself and make sense of the myriad of voices that clamored loudly now within her mind. She had found such no such a place-- instead, her attempts to find peace had lead her to the heart of war. She appeared in Nigiyakashufu as the Rebellion was reaching its crescendo. The leaders of each individual nation had gathered together alongside their forces for a final push to defeat the Raikage and oust the Empire's fell control once and for all. Seeing this as an opportunity to redeem herself, Mizumono joined the battle.

::While the leaders of each nation's resistance forces were engaged with the Raikage and his elite generals, Mizumono pitted herself against a potent woman with pumpkin-colored eyes. The woman was able to suspend Senbonzakura's petals amidst a torrent of wind and nearly defeated Mizumono, but was ultimately overturned when the girl tapped into Kaosu's sealed chakra and collapsed the woman's chakra circulatory system.

::After the battle, Mizumono met up again with Yatako and subjected herself to his judgment in an attempt to atone for the great misdeeds she had done over the course of the war. Seeming to want to put it all behind the world, Yatako agreed to absolve her of her crimes if she would pledge her blade to ousting the last remnants of the NCIA from Hi no Kuni. She agreed without hesitation and set out to Konohagakure while Yatako himself took the majority of the remaining Konohagakure resistance forces to Hotarunoshi.

::With Senbonzakura at her side, Mizumono pushed the remaining NCIA forces out of Konohagakure, unceremoniously ridding the nation of its last bits of Kumogakure taint. In doing so, she became decorated as a War Hero and was afforded the right to rejoin Konohagakure as a jonin and ANBU member; she accepted and attempted to return to a normal life.

===Chapter IV; A Matter of Chance===

::Despite all of her best efforts to bring her sins to a close, Mizumono remained haunted by the many personalities that gripped her mind at any moment that she let her guard down. Slowly, over several months, her sanity waned and withered away, leaving her a twisted husk of a human. She was admitted into a hospital and cared for, though no progress was made until a fateful night in which she overpowered her orderlies and escaped the hospital. The girl, confused and caught within a haze of too many voices, lost herself in the forests that surrounded Konohagakure no Sato.

::When she awoke, her thoughts were frighteningly clear-- and silent. She could not appreciate this fact, however, as she did not have any recollection of any of the events of the war or months thereafter. While wandering the forest, lost, she met an unlikely savor: Uchiha Ozaku. The boy guided her back to town and attempted to decipher who she was and where she came from. Birds of a feather, the two bonded almost immediately after spending the day together. As night began to fall, Mizumono lost consciousness yet again and unconsciously allowed Kaosu to take control of her body. For the first time, he did not immediately force her to flee or carry on his bloodthirsty vengeance. Instead, the boy-spirit explained to Ozaku what had happened to Mizumono and that he had slowly fallen in love with her over the years they spent together. After she had broken open his seal in Nigiyakashufu, his chakra was bleeding from her and he would soon be gone. He used the last of his chakra to create a narcoleptic fail-safe within the girl; any time her mind became overwhelmed by her splintered personalities, she would fall into a deep sleep. Kaosu passed on the burden of taking care of Mizumono to Ozaku and, as suddenly as he appeared, he vanished from her body.

::In the years thereafter, Ozaku served as her guardian, her confidant, and eventually her lover. For a time, she was allowed a relatively normal life. Though time was a salve for some, it eventually proved to be Mizumono's undoing. Her bouts of narcolepsy increased dramatically over time, leading Ozaku to reveal her unique condition to the doctors that she had been seeing about the matter. An extensive analysis of her brain thereafter revealed that the unhinging of Kaosu's seal in addition to the condition he had instated within her had caused increasing amounts of damage to her brain. The result of which was that the flares of her alternate personas came with increasing frequency, resulting in the sleeping seal triggering more often, which in turn continued to damage her brain. Though the outlook seemed grim for Mizumono, she was approached by an enigmatic pragmatist of a doctor who offered to her a unique and experimental treatment. He claimed to have studied the ability of certain types of chakra to reverse and regenerate damaged tissue, but that it given the brain's interconnection throughout the body, he would have to implement the procedure on the entirety of her body. The result of this procedure was clear: her physical form would be reverted to whatever state it was in before Kaosu's original seal had been implemented. She would become young and rejuvenated, though she would lose the majority of the memories that she had formed between then and now. Mizumono agreed to his terms and allowed the procedure to be done.

===Chapter V; A Titan Reborn===

::After recovering from the procedure that had reverted her age many years, Mizumono found herself curious and confused. Ozaku explained much of what he knew of her last several years and why she had agreed to undergo it. Though hesitant, she accepted his explanation and returned home with the boy. Though her new and altered state prevented their relationship from continuing as it had previously, Ozaku began to look over her as a mentor and a guardian, teaching her all that he could to help her return to the life she once had.

::Though her abilities have diminished severely as a byproduct of the treatment, Mizumono has again embraced the way of the Shinobi and now seeks to hone her skills so that she may one day find those that she hurt and repent for the misdeeds of her illness.

== Personality ==
:Mizumono, in the current era, is a changed individual. Once broken, then crazed, now optimistic; this Hyūga girl is in many ways the person that she was never allowed to be in the past. She is excitable and optimistic, always preferring to look for the bright side of a bad situation and the light of decency in those she interacts with. She is friendly and mostly polite, though enjoys playfully teasing those she befriends at every given opportunity. Despite, or perhaps due to, the severity of the life that she has been made to live, Mizumono possesses an incredibly lighthearted outlook on life and tends to view almost everything as a game or a competition. Though she greatly enjoys competitive sport, she typically accepts loss in stride and savors learning from each defeat.

:She is a highly selfless individual, frequently pushing herself beyond her natural means to help someone in any amount of distress. Valuing friendship above all else, she places the well being of her friends and companions well above her own- a facet of her personality that often sees her taking the blame for others' mishaps or facing injury in place of another.

:Due to the extensive medical work that she has undergone in recent years, much of the instability in her personality has all but vanished. She no longer has bouts of alternative personas taking hold of her mind, nor is she incredibly susceptible to psychotic breaks caused by her own formerly splintering persona. The nature of her affliction, however, is not entirely able to be cured and consequently leaves her with still occasional flashes of memories from before her treatment and those fabricated memories of the differing personas that once inhabited her mind.

:* Mizumono's combat prowess was so great that her later encounters were steered away from stat battles so that she would not end the fights too quickly or decisively.

Hyuuga Mizumono is a Jounin and ANBU member of [[Konohagakure no Sato]]. She has seen little deployment since the end of the war, having instead opted to primarily spend her time at home, enjoying the peace and quiet that she had fought to obtain. Furthermore, her history and reckless means of combat have made her a liability on many teams, resulting in her being deployed only when the task is suitable to one shinobi.

==Summary==
:'''User:''' [[Hardcore Skittlez]]<br>
:'''Name:''' Hyūga Mizumono ( 日向水物)<br>
:'''Clan:''' Hyūga (Main Family)<br>
:'''Shinobi Rank:''' [[Genin]] of Konohagakure no Sato<br>
:'''Village:''' [[Konohagakure no Sato]]<br>
:'''Nationality:''' [[Hi no Kuni]]<br>
:'''Specialty:''' Bloodline, Kenjutsu, Jūken Taijutsu<br>
:'''Age:''' 14 [Physical] | 23 [Actual]<br>
:'''Gender:''' Female<br>

==Appearance==
In previous years, Mizumono preferred her hair to be cropped short with messy and uneven cuts, using her very appearance as a means to rebel against the heavy-handed manipulations of her family. Time had mended her need for rebellion and allowed her to begin wearing her hair straightened and unadorned as she grew into adulthood. With her physical form reverted and a mind now mostly mended, she has taken to a combination of the two styles that help her to reclaim a bit of who she once was. Her corvid stands are now worn tied into a high ponytail with messy bangs allowed to hang at either side of her expression, framing her the sharp features of her face.

The milky orbs that are Mizumono's eyes are the tell-tale sign of her immaculate heritage. Her eyes are sharply formed, but bright with inquisitive energy; it is not uncommon to see her eyes crinkling with a wide and infectious smile. Though shimmering with continual excitement, the ashen hue of Mizumono's gaze often gives her the appearance that she is looking through or past an individual rather than at them.

Despite having her body subject to the strange flows of age manipulation, the petite kunoichi remains very much as she ever was. The creme hue of her skin is stretched taught over well toned musculature indicative of a considerable amount of physical training. She is diminutive and svelte, holding soft and subtle slopes that indicate that she has yet again to travel through the entirety of her growth into woman-hood. Her features are sharp and well formed, granting her an aesthetic of budding elegance.
