Born into the [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Valley_of_Hell]Valley of Hell[/url] in the [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Land_of_Hot_Water]Land of Hot Water[/url], Yamamoto inherited the [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/D%C5%8Djutsu]Dojutsu[/url] [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Kekkei_Genkai]Kekkei Genkai[/url] known as the [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Ketsury%C5%ABgan]Ketsurygan[/url]. [hider=Ketsurygan][img]https://pm1.aminoapps.com/6616/71372ad72fb7398da22fc685c45659971408d2ba_hq.jpg[/img][/hider] Between the pressure of living in such an inhospitable environment and the longing to return to their homeland, rifts began to tear the Clan apart and arguments increasingly resulted in bloodshed. The central issue that the clan struggled with was if they should pursue revenge against the Uchiha for having removed them in the first place. Yamamoto's parents were on the side of not pursuing the blood feud against the Uchiha, and because of this rival members of the clan kidnapped the babe and sold him in to slavery to help finance their side of the war and weaken their enemies. Shortly thereafter, the entirety of the Chinoike clan was wiped out, including Yamamoto's parents, leaving none to search or even remember the newborn. The boy ended up becoming the property of [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Gat%C5%8D]Gato[/url] of [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Gat%C5%8D_Company]Gato Company[/url]. The shipping magnate saw the boy as an investment, nothing more. He forced the boy to actually teach himself [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Ninjutsu]Ninjutsu[/url], [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Taijutsu]Taijutsu[/url], and [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Genjutsu]Genjutsu[/url] using nothing more than illegally obtained instructional scrolls. [hider=Chakra Scrolls] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/control/564x/dd/08/92/dd0892dee8fbb0c4d6f04e4422bbd02b.jpg[/img] [/hider] By age 7 he was sent to briefly compete in the [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Coliseum]Coliseum[/url]. His debut fight in the Coliseum was witnessed by none other than [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Chiyo]Lady Chiyo[/url] one of the [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Honoured_Siblings]Honored Siblings[/url] of [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Sunagakure]Sunagakure[/url]. She immediately purchased him from Gato, much to the dismay of her brother [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Ebiz%C5%8D]Ebizu[/url]. [hider=Young Lady Chiyo][img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/5d/14/aa/5d14aa05b0875e2ffa0019e521095ed7.jpg[/img][/hider] Taking the boy back to the [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Land_of_Wind]Land of Wind[/url] to be seen by the [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Third_Kazekage]Third Kazekage[/url] and the [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Suna_Council]Suna Council[/url], Lady Chiyo explained that it was unwise to entrust the entirety of the villages future to the strength of the [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Tailed_Beast]Tailed Beast[/url] [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Shukaku]Shukaku[/url]. Not only this, but she worried about the strength of the Uchiha clan and how the shinobi of Sunagakure had little defense against them. Lastly, she had witnessed Yamamoto show an aptitude for both Genjutsu as well as the Art of the [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Puppet_Technique]Puppet Technique[/url], utilizing his own rudimentary [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Puppet]Puppets[/url] during his fight. [hider=Sunagakure] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/6c/6f/56/6c6f56a5e6d1d788c2409a7cd9f7251d.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/8a/1d/44/8a1d4418b579d927f76a0cc8eb44d71d.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/d8/b3/40/d8b3408325d287a1d49808214f406781.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/9d/7b/65/9d7b655240abaaf3682d59a4171daac7.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/9f/6e/c8/9f6ec83fe180e252292c6e6dabba2661.jpg[/img] [/hider] Lady Chiyo saw much of her own grandson [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Sasori]Sasori[/url] in Yamamoto, and believe that he could become a legendary puppeteer like him. The young shinobi was given to the [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Shirogane_Clan]Shirogane Clan[/url], as well as adopting their last name. Yamamoto learned much from his newfound clansmen [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Ibushi]Ibushi[/url], [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Gand%C5%8D]Gando[/url], and [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Men%C5%8D_(ninja)Meno]Meno[/url], including an ironic hatred of the Uchiha. For a time, he would prosper amongst the Sand Shinboi. He would develop a variety of his own puppets with the help of Clan Shirogane's help, such as how to make [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Puppet_Walker]Puppet Walkers[/url], [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Lizard_Puppet]Lizard Puppets[/url], and [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Elemental_Puppets]Elemental Puppets[/url]. Yamamoto also created a Spider puppet on his own. Not only this, but he also learned the [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Summoning_Technique]Summoning Technique[/url] and signed a contract with an Owl. [hider=Spider Puppet] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/f9/9e/e2/f99ee2fdf9d55d975b7bd2c66aaf6e95.jpg[/img] [/hider] [hider=Summoned Owl] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/25/ea/31/25ea319f97519f266e14567d8332ceb7.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/8c/7a/8a/8c7a8a4268c84ef26f71c3d53bc0f1cc.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/5a/d9/01/5ad9012c3f1e4ed9e2c78d4d01e9d625.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/c1/3f/6e/c13f6e936c69b8e8ec9e5ee42dc6f73c.jpg[/img] [/hider] Officially becoming a [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Genin]Genin[/url] at age 12, he would be forced to participate in the [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Third_Shinobi_World_War]Third Shinobi World War[/url]. Sent on a crucial mission under his Sensei [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Pakura]Pakura[/url] as well as her other student [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Maki]Maki[/url] against [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Kirigakure]Kirigakure[/url]. The mission was a success, though a costly one. During a skirmish, Yamamoto was wounded terribly by the signature flames of Uchiha Shinobi, and was only saved by his Sensei Pakura's [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Scorch_Release]Scorch Release[/url]. Near death, he would have his life saved by Maki and her [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Cloth_Binding_Technique]Cloth Binding Technique[/url]. Using her [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Binding_Cloth]Binding Cloth[/url], she wrapped the entirety of his ruined body in the cloth and using specialized Ninjutsu, saved him at the cost of his being unable to leave the cloth wrapping without excruciating pain. Pakura was heralded as the Hero of Sunagakure, and Yamamoto spent months in the Hospital. Around the same time he recovered enough to be released, Pakura herself died while on a mission against [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Iwagakure]Iwagakure[/url]. This news crushed the young Yamamoto, who had come to see her as his role model. The youth was suspicious about the circumstances related to his Sensei's death, and despite Maki's warnings to leave it alone, he investigated until he discovered that his suspicions had been right all along; the Village had betrayed her and sold her out to the enemy as part of a peace proposal. [hider=Hero of Sunagakure][img]https://preview.redd.it/qs03dzqlvaz61.png?width=692&format=png&auto=webp&s=7c45b36386ca232b4c974774e6c726f5b2664a12[/img][/hider] Disillusioned with Sunagakure and crushed that he had no family or even a Sensei, as well as being forever entrapped in one of Maki's Binding Cloth's due to his burn scars, Yamamoto began to grow increasingly reclusive and bitter towards both the Village and World as a whole. He devoted himself entirely his craft, and mastered Jutsu such as the [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Wooden_Puppet_Manipulation_Technique]Sand Puppet Manipulation Technique[/url], the [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Genjutsu:_Unknown_Fire]Genjutsu: Unknown Fire[/url] and the Genjutsu [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Jibakugan]Jibakugan[/url]. His rise in skill earned him the rank of [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Ch%C5%ABnin]Chunin[/url] by age 15, and he became a member of the [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Puppet_Brigade]Puppet Brigade[/url], though he still harbored hatred for his village in his heart. It was during his time in the brigade that he met a kunoichi named Seryu. Somehow managing to get past his rude and cold demeanor, she formed a friendship with him that slowly caused him to let down his guard. Unfortunately she was slain in battle during the Third Shinobi World War, and by an Uchiha no less, further traumatizing Yamamoto. Taking her corpse in secret from the battlefield, he turned her in to his first [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Human_Puppet]Human Puppet[/url] with the help of Sasori, who had done the same to his friend [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Komushi]Komushi[/url]. [hider=Seryu] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/control/564x/15/af/84/15af8479276b3a00ad3e41547d2ea76d.jpg[/img] [/hider] [hider=Puppet Seryu] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/control/564x/c0/52/aa/c052aa6a953e3476e6f7113248f4c87f.jpg[/img] [/hider] By the end of the Third Shinobi World War, Yamamoto had reached the rank of [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/J%C5%8Dnin]Jonin[/url] after having played a crucial role in a important battle. By this point he had mastered the [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Bringer-of-Darkness_Technique]Bringer of Darkness Technique[/url] as well as had developed his own [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Autonomous_Puppet]Autonomous Puppets[/url] and [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Genjutsu_Pill]Genjutsu Pills[/url]. Not only this, but he had grown stronger with his [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Genjutsu:_Ketsury%C5%ABgan]Ketsurygan Genjutsu[/url] and had mastered new specialized Jutsu such as the [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Exploding_Human_Technique]Exploding Human Technique[/url] and [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Blood_Dragon_Ascension]Blood Dragon Ascension[/url]. He had finally reached a point of strength in which he felt capable and ready to exact his revenge, as he had decided to exterminate the Uchiha clan. Stealing the secrets of [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/One%27s_Own_Life_Reincarnation]One's Own Life Reincarnation[/url] from Lady Chiyo and becoming a [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Missing-nin]Missing-nin[/url], he fled the village to the ruined kingdom of [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/R%C5%8Dran]Roran[/url] in the Land of Wind. There he met with Sasori, who revealed he had made his very body into a puppet and taught Yamamoto the [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/White_Secret_Technique:_The_Chikamatsu_Collection_of_Ten_Puppets]Secret Technique: Collection of Ten Puppets[/url]. The duo were tracked down by the Third Kazekage as well as the Future [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Kazekage]Kazekage[/url] [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Rasa]Rasa[/url]. The two duo's battled for what felt an eternity, which resulted in the death of the Third Kazekage and the capture of Yamamoto by Rasa. Sasori fled the battlefield, and Yamamoto was returned to the village to face the Suna Council. He explained to them his desire to destroy the Uchiha clan, and to use the [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Master_Puppet]Master Puppet[/url] to do it. This made the Suna Council worried that such an act would only reignite a war that they were in no shape to fight. He also revealed to them that he knew the village had betrayed Pakura, his Sensei. This alarmed the Suna Council greatly, who decided that he would be given a life sentence not only for his crimes but as a political prisoner who knew too much. The Fourth Kazekage Rasa was charged with taking Yamamoto deep out into the [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Demon_Desert]Demon Desert[/url] where the disgraced Shinobi would be entombed and put into a slumber using a Ninjutsu within a Pyramid to be slowly buried by the shifting sands of time and fate. [hider=Lost and Forgotten] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/control/564x/77/ce/d5/77ced5c9605c46d9970d198c52b15c95.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/f6/ec/5d/f6ec5da130bb10e570629f4f216c984b.jpg[/img] [/hider] With the kidnapping and assassination of Fourth Kazekage Rasa by [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Orochimaru]Orochimaru[/url], there is now none living who know exactly where Yamamoto is buried. Thus, the Mirage of Sunagakure sleeps, dreaming beneath the sands of the Demon Desert in the Land of Wind. Waiting for a chance at either revenge or redemption. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [hider=Cut Content] [hider=Nezumi] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/89/c2/6e/89c26e371686c2e46c8fe3d65ba9cb22.jpg[/img] [/hider] [hider=Battle Nezumi][img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/17/b9/e0/17b9e0ee7d4dcaed5bb9f44eac23a849.jpg[/img][/hider] [hider=Wounded Nezumi] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/58/45/00/58450012a8ba2a8d69f004ed0bc56518.jpg[/img] [/hider] [hider=Sharingan Eye in Jar] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/control/564x/aa/4a/6c/aa4a6c56170fefa1b04f7f4993a2706f.jpg[/img] [/hider] [hider=Old Man] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/control/564x/39/c6/f2/39c6f294f5426f947130b4d312704ec1.jpg[/img] [/hider] [hider=Missing-nin] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/86/91/44/86914498a58759ab3d021eaf38815cf5.jpg[/img] [/hider] [hider=Missing-nin Sidekick][img]https://i.pinimg.com/control/564x/7f/aa/8b/7faa8bd46aa63c8fb2e495437b31bfc2.jpg[/img][/hider] [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/White_Secret_Technique:_The_Chikamatsu_Collection_of_Ten_Puppets]Secret Technique: Collection of Ten Puppets[/url] [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Master_Puppet]Master Puppet[/url] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTmBeR32GRA]Dune OST[/url] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoxWHRHG-2U]Gom Jabbar[/url] [/hider] [/hider]
