Ryuu Zankishoto

Ryuu was originally born in a small village outside of Konohagakure, in the Land of Fire. He grew up on a farm small farm, helping his parents milk the cattle and collect wheat to sell to the nearby villages. It wasn’t a good life, but it was life. As he began growing older, he soon realized what he couldn’t as a child, the cold glares and fear given to him by many of the ancient people in the villages, and the relief, and thankfulness given to him by the older generations. He was confused, but did not say anything about it.

This lifestyle went on for years, and Ryuu turned 15. The one birthday he swore never to forget. At midnight, as was tradition with his family, he woke up and went downstairs to the door, and out into the field. Heading towards the well in the center of the field to consencrate himself before the birthday, he stepped on a sharp object. Muffling a curse, he bent down to pick up the object. Standing back up, he felt a heat on his back, and to his utter dismay, say the house he lived in on fire.

Ryuu collapsed on his knees, staring at the burning house with tears in his eyes, his hand closed around the object he had identified as a headband he had seen his parents wearing. He did not need to look down to feel the scratch mark across the headband, nor did he need to look to feel the symbol for Konoha in the middle of the scratch. A quick chop to the back of the neck, and Ryuu knew no more.

Waking up 10 days later, Ryuu despondently looked out the window in the cell he was kept in. He was in Kumogakure, awaiting his punishment as a witness to the killing. He had been thoroughly examined by the med-nin in the village, and the Raikage himself came to visit once. That moment had a profound impact on Ryuu. Looking over the village from his cell, he could tell that the Raikage gave his life for his village, he had given it everything he had.

When the Kage had visited Ryuu, he had been a wisp of his former self, old in age and crippled, but with such a strong spirit and charisma that he remained Kage far beyond his years, using experience to avoid many conflicts. Ryuu was astounded at this man’s will to live. The Kage left, but the sheer presence of his spirit lingered in the room for days, seeming to infect Ryuu. He understood why his parents were killed now, he didn’t hold it against the Kumo nin. He just wished he had a chance to restore his honor, and the honor of his family back to higher than it originally was.

Finally the day of reckoning arrived, and Ryuu stood in front of the Kage and his council, only to have been told that he would be admitted into the Ninja Academy later that day. Ryuu was dumbfounded, before being told why. He was the carrier for a negative bijuu, the Seven Tails. All of a sudden, memories came rushing back, causing Ryuu to stagger for a second before regaining his composure. He was determined to regain his family name and honor, for they died protecting him.

The year flew by as Ryuu threw himself into his studies. Being in Kumogakure did not help once his bloodline appeared, a bloodline normally found in Mizugakure before the Great Purge. He pushed through that though, and at the mention of his Bloodline Clans extinction, Kumo was very eager to hold on to him. He mastered his bloodline despite the difficulties, and apparently to a farther extent.

Ryuu became a genin, and did the dreaded D-rank missions. He experienced his first kill, and many more after that. He gained prestige among the Village, never failing a mission, and still staying on the same team, keeping his teammates alive more then once due to his unique conditions. Fully surpassing all previous thoughts about him, Ryuu went on to become Chuunin, and then Jounin on the first time through his exams.

He was called a prodigy and a genius, but kept true to himself and did not let those labels get to his head. He worked just as hard as the others, and maybe harder, perfecting his justsu and his bloodline techniques to their fullest. After becoming a Jounin, he found out his affinities, giving him ever more deadly combinatiosn with his jutsu. Wind and Fire, both strong on their own, but deadly together.

Shortly after Ryuu became Jounin, he starting focusing more on learning strategy, and sword play. He spent hours training the sword, considerably easier due to his bloodline, but learning new styles. The more styles he learned, the higher his prowess as a swords master grew. He quickly began, absorbing would be the best term, information on styles, from near and distant lands, from Konoha to Suna.

And then came another life changing moment for Ryuu. He began conversing with his inner demon. It happened during night mostly, as Ryuu would fall asleep and appear in a dungeon inside his mind. The only prisoner however, was a giant black Seven-Tailed Weasel, Uindo. And this began a partnership that most would not expect.

Uindo knew that it wasn’t leaving, and would perish with Ryuu. It accepted that fact, but refused to go out without a fight. After making a deal with Ryuu, Uindo gained the ability to see the world through Ryuu, and experience the pleasures of that world. Ryuu in turned gained sharpened senses, and an almost unending chakra supply, and the unique ability to control wind at his pleasure. He soon mastered that skill also, giving him the nickname “Kaze no Majin,” meaning Devil of the Wind.

And then the dreadful day came. Ryuu stood in front of the coffin, staring at the Yondaime Raikage sadly, noting that in death, he had at last achieved the peace he deserved. Ryuu stood at the funeral long after everyone had left, his tearing silently pouring down his face, masked by the rain. Finally he left, vowing to continue in the old mans place.

The time came sooner then expected though. Shortly after the Yondaime Raikage’s funeral, Ryuu was called in front of the Council of Kumogakure. He was then informed that he was selected to be the next Raikage, that he had been named the successor. He was honored and horrified. He asked for more time to become worthy, and received one year. During that year he trained in everything, becoming as strong as possible. He also studied strategy, and politics, knowing that with the Kage gone, war was soon to be on their steps. The year passed by quickly, and Ryuu was named the Godaime Raikage, at the mere age of 19.

The next two years passed quickly, and with almost astounding results. Ryuu, in his first act of Kage, quickly sought to reestablish ties and alliances with other nations, and managed that quite well. Shortly there after, he successfully avoided war with three small neighboring countries, showing his through training in politics. Quickly defeating challengers who believed he was too young, Ryuu slowly brought Kumogakure into a new era, one of prosperities and wealth.
