Fuguai Yamanaka
This is a page dedicated to Konohagakure's very own Fuguai Yamanaka. Fuguai is one of the youngest members of the Yamanaka clan and hopes that he may prove himself through the use of Medical Ninjutsu and Genjustu. He also hopes that he may become a very strong shinobi,
Appearance:
Hair: Fuguai has light blonde hair. Against his Aunt's wishes, he keeps it short, and unkempt. Due to this, his hair has been known throughout his clan to break any comb that tries to straighten it.
Eyes: Fuguai has blue irises with blue pupils. Unless standing one is standing directly in front of him, it is hard to tell the difference between the iris and pupil.
Description: Due to his heritage, Fuguai or "Fu," as his friends call him, has light blonde hair and blue eyes. His eyes fascinate many, due to the lack of contrast of his pupil and irises. Doctors have been confounded by this. When tested for a Dojutsu, he always shows up negative, though some still believe that there could one be lurking underneath.
Moving on, Fu is known to be a very attractive shinobi. During his time at the academy, he literally had to beat back girls with a stick, much to the amusement of his friends Jin and Soji. Also because of this, he was under constantly harassed from other boys his age. It wouldnt be unusual to find bruises or anything of that sort on his arms or legs. However none of the scrapes and bruises he's manage to collect have managed to become noticeable or permanent scars or other distinguishing marks.
Adding to his impressiveness, Fu is very tall. measuring at around 185.42 cm, he towers over many his age, and even over some of the higher ranking Jounin in his village. Much to his dismay, he still hasn't managed to grow any facial hair. He also looks much younger for his age, due to a baby-face and a lack of visible facial hair, which is the brunt of all the jokes from the other boys his age.
Clothing:
Comfort/Civilian: His usual day-to-day clothing consists of a purple vest with an embroidered, black Yamanaka logo on the back. Underneath, he wears a black turtleneck, that has his clan's logo on the back, embroidered in white. His pants are a jet-black color and reach down to about his shins. Over his hands, he wears his standard-issue Konohagakure-nin gloves, and his feet are protected by wooden geta with purple straps. Around his neck he wears a dogtag. On the front of this dogtag, there is an inscription of the logo of Konohagakure. The back side of this dogtag holds his mother's vital information. Underneath his mother's name, the dogtag has another Yamanaka clan logo. Both of his ears hold earrings, which represent his commitment to the Ino-Shika-Cho formation.
Travel/Work: *see Ninja [battle]
Ninja [battle]: His Ninja attire is slightly different. Instead of the black geta with purple straps, he wears the standard Konohagakure ankle-high sandles.
Relationships:
Father (Unknown): The identity of Fu's father is unknown. Even during her pregnancy, Inojiri would never disclose the information to anyone. Whenever she was asked, she would always reply "if he's not ready for commitment, then i won't force it." It is assumed that his father is from the Sarutobi clan, however this is only a guess based on his proficiency with fire release. The whereabouts and the condition of his father is still unknown.
Yamanaka Inojami (Mother; Deceased): Inojami was well respected and well thought of before the time of Fu's birth. After that, public opinion of her began to drop, due to her "not knowing who the father was." She was the one who gave Fuguai his name. It is known that Inojami had a small flower shop which was located across the street from her sister's liquor store. It had been a real hit with the Inuzuka clan, who had loved each and every aroma coming from the flowers. When she passed, all of her assets were passed along to her sister, Inojiri. This meant that Inojiri now owned the flower shop and everything within it. One day she had found a small, locked box underneath of the cash register. What it contains, no one knows for it has never been unlocked. Fu asked for this box, and reluctantly, Inojiri agreed. The box now sits next to Fu's bed, waiting to be unlocked.
Yamanaka Inojiri (Aunt; Alive): Inojiri is Fu's aunt and legal guardian. She is the one who gave Fuguai his nickname, Fu. She is the legal owner of 'Inojiri's Liquor Store,' and 'Inojami's Garden." However, the day of Fu's graduation from the academy, she willingly gave him his mother's flower shop and everything in it. She also pointed out the existence of a small box that was found underneath of the cash register. She told him that it has never been opened, and that it probably will never be.
History
Birth Fuguai Yamanaka was born on October 19th, 2100 in the loving arms of his late mother, Inojami Yamanaka. However, even while he was in the womb, Inojami had never revealed the identity of the boy's father. When asked, she had always replied "If he was not ready for commitment, then i won't force it." To this day, the boy's father remains a mystery. The thirty-two and a half minute birth occurred in Konohagakure's own hospital.
How He Got His Name
Four days after his birth, the medical ninja told Inojami that she was ready to go home. As long as she did not move around too much, and as long as her stress levels were kept low, they told her that she could take the baby with her. She agreed. She hated the hospital, with its boring white walls made of cinder block. There was nothing other to do than to stare outside the window and watch as the birds flew by. She had wanted to get home as soon as possible, so she could tend to her gardens. Her poor orchids were probably dying of thirst! Without hesitation she signed the papers to go home.
For the next two days, everything was going swimmingly. At least, as it should. The boy cried often, and if he was ever without his mother, the tantrums would be even louder. No one knew how to shut the boy up, and so, his Aunt Inojiri was called.
"I know what'll shut the trouble-maker up" she said with a grin. "Gimme his bottle." His mother, as patient as she was, had grown tired of the boy's constant crying, complied. With the bag that she had brought with her, Inojiri pulled out a bottle of alcohol. She began to unscrew the top of the bottle, ready to pour some in.
"Are you crazy!" his mother cried, snatching the bottle away.
"I'm not going to pour the whole thing in, just a few drops outta do." Reluctantly, his mother gave her the bottle. After she was finished, Inojiri gave the bottle to the boy. He cried at first, but with a few tuts from Inojiri, he stopped. He drank some of the milk and fell into a state of calm.
"See, he's fine." Inojiri said as she punched Inojami lightly on the arm. "He's a troublesome one isn't he?"
"Yes, i think he should be called 'Fuguai.'"
"Fuguai?"
"Yes. It means troublesome." she said with a smile.
Tragedy
Still one of the most famous crimes of Konohagakure, the murder of Inojami Yamanaka confounds the minds of many detectives. There was no clear motive or reason behind it, and not many have anything against Inojami, for Inojami was one of the sweetest beings in Konohagakure. She owned a flower shop next to the Inuzuka clan headquarters, and across the street lay her sister Inojiri's liquor store. She treated everyone with respect and kindness, and never tried to cheat anyone. Yet, her body was found in a river with twenty stab marks. The murder weapon is presumed to be a kunai, yet has never been found. The case has been officially closed by the Konohagakure police department. Her autopsy concludes that the presumed time of death was October 30th 2110 at 3:42 P.M. Twelve minutes after her flower shop closed for her lunch break.
Early Life
Fuguai grew up with his mother's sister, Inojiri Yamanaka. At first, she detested the boy, for he reminded her of her sister. As time went on, she eventually began to accept the boy for who he was. But the damage had been done. To gain the attention of his peers, and of his aunt, he would create interesting and unique ways to prank others, or invent ways to shirk responsibility. He hated work with a passion, yet his Aunt prided herself and revered anyone who showed any hard work. By order of the Hokage, the boy was ordered to attend the academy. according to him, the only way that the boy would stay out of trouble, would be if he worked hard at the school every day.
Academy
At the academy, Fuguai could never get along with any of the Senseis. He thought that they were put on a pedestal, and that they were just over-glorified assistants to the Hokage. Because of this, he got in lots of fights. "After all," he thought, "the teachers can't do anything to me." How wrong he was. He would always end up in detention, or end up in some sort of punishment via cleaning the academy. Because of his nonchalant attitude, he would never do any of the work anyway. After a while, he was forced with the prospect of failing the academy. Fortunately, with the guidance of two fellow students, Shoji Aburame and Jin Nara, he was able to gain a focus on his schoolwork and pass. Barely. However, both of those Gennin had already passed. By the time each of the shinobi met up again, Jin and Soji had forgotten all about Fuguai.
