Young Years: 1 - 10
Lord Kishi, despite his greatness, was born to an insignificant father, a soldier, like everyone else in the early days of the Shinobi Era, he joined forces with the Sarutobi and Hyuuga clan when their leaders formed the Hidden Village Of Leaf. Toriyama, Kishi's father died in battle when Kishi was only three years old. He doesn't remember much about him, unable to recollect much about his father, other soldiers who fought alongside him however claims he was a great man, even if he was an average soldier. He was raised by a young man and his wife from the Hyuuga clan, both of them brilliant warriors. His foster father is the man who the world today knows as Hyuga Jurou, and his wife Mizu, they cared for him as if he was one of their own, unable to have their own offspring.
He grew up in the early days of the Leaf, when things were still uncertain, and the other nations emerging around them had a great amount of uncertainty. Everyday another clan had moved into the village, and the strength of the village increased. The growth of the village was watched over by one man - the incredible Jurou - The Hokage. Protector, Champion and Guardian of the leaf Village, and all of it's citizens, shinobi and civilian alike, leading the people with a gentle, yet firm hand. Not only did he help the village grow, he had an equal hand in helping Kishimoto grow.
Early Career: 11 - 15
Kishimoto was far from a prodigy, he struggled to grasp the basic concepts of being a ninja, it was always clear from the beginning that he had natural talents, his ninjutsu skills were impressive, but his incredible chakra reserves stood above all, his surrogate father - the Hokage often mentioned that "That boy is one in a million". Yet, he still struggled with other things, tactics and discipline, most notable. He would slack off at the nearby lake, relaxing rather than to train.
That is, till the Hokage's wife, Mizu, was murdered by the shinobi of Kirigakure in a savage attack on the Hidden Leaf, and he came face to face with one of the killers, the Mist shinobi - only a couple of years older than him, proved to be more than a match for the young Kishimoto, wounding him severely, forcing Kishimoto to try and retreat. In doing so, he earned himself his massive, and only scar on his back. Following that day, mourning the loss of the only mom he had ever known, dreading the sense of powerlessness he had felt at the mere age of 14. He became something else, not a different man, but a different soldier. He became focused, calculating and absolutely brilliant.
Into the Shadows: 16 - 23
As he got older, his strength and brilliance grew. He earned renown and soon made his way to become his surrogate father's right hand man, his most trusted, and strongest soldier. He was the first ever ANBU captain of the Hidden Leaf, and he lead his team of ANBU soldiers through many missions deemed impossible by most, rescuing the Daimyo's daughter from Kumogakure when they were holding her for ransom was among one of Kishimoto's greatest achievements that you never heard off, on the grounds of it being an ANBU mission. Likewise, most of his deeds while serving as Captain went unnoticed by the public due to it being highly classified and sensitive subjects, not fit to discuss in this report.
By His father's side; 23 - 25:
With the first getting older, and suffering from a long list of injuries and diseases he would no longer partake in combat on his own, his son, Kishimoto always by his side. Fighting foes capable of challenging the first in his prime. Speculation ran rampart, weather it was because Kishimoto was the strongest ninja in the village, or if it was because of the paternal bond the first had with him that he kept him around, making him partake in all activities the Hokage dealt with, weather it was fighting Iwagakure forces, or discussing the truce with Kumogakure. Everywhere the hokage went, Kishimoto shadowed him, learning everything it meant to be in Jurou's shoes, and at the age of 25, two years of being at the first side, the first saw that he was ready. Jurou died in a bed, with Kishimoto sitting next to him, holding his hand, certain that he had imprinted his will onto the next generation, leaving the village in the hands of the young man.
In the Footsteps of his father; rise of the second Hokage: 26 - 28.
He was crowned the second Hokage the day following his father's death, his speech at his father's funeral the same day was heartfelt, and the crowd were all in tears, hearts full of grief after the man who had united so many people. A weight on his shoulders, for sure. His first day, following the funeral had been spent laying at the beach, relaxing. Trying to calm his mind, to figure out what he had to do.
Till disaster struck, and he got reports that Kiri shinobi were attacking the outskirts of the village, having heard of the passing of the first Hokage - The village was at it's weakest and this was the time to strike. Much to the Hidden Mist's dismay, Kishimoto showed to be an excellent leader, just like the first before him. He mobilized and commanded his troops excellently, leading the Kirigakure shinobi into an ambush and swiftly annihilating the threat with the same tactics he had learned during his time working in the shadows.
Following the victory against the Hidden mist, Konoha was perhaps stronger than ever. Peace and prosperity settled over the land. For a time.
The First Winter; 29
The winter came unusually early that year, in August it was snowing, by October the Blizzard had been going on for two weeks, making traveling almost impossible. Not only for the people of the Hidden leaf, but for all, as the blizzard targeted all countries with it's unrelenting coldness, if there's one thing for sure, it's that nature doesn't have favorites. The first winter was difficult, a panic set in during those months, people were freezing to death, the armies couldn't grow, and the entire infrastructure that had been created was falling apart.
Due to swift thinking and a cool head, Kishimoto managed to migrate all of the civilians into underground bunkers, made by using jutsu in the mountains under Konohagakure. There, they used their chakra to artificially help crops grow and keep the people alive. While most people of the hidden leaf now lived underground, they still kept the above-ground village alive and running as well as they could, hoping the Blizzard would soon pass.
The Long Winter; 30 - 40
For a decade the winter reigned, and he lead the hidden village of the leaf with graze. Once the blizzard subsided, it was an insane cold left to deal with, but some normality could return to the world. It was possible to be outside again, and while originally, diplomacy seemed to be the way to go, forging alliances with Iwa, Suna and Kiri, the pressure from the ever growing army of Kumo prompted a large military threat. As such, war was the only way out. After two years of winter, people were tired of it. Tired of starving and freezing, of losing family members to skirmishes, to not being able to trade with other villages, to not have enough food to feed their kids.
And so, a war broke out. A war of the scale nobody had ever seen before. A world war for all resources in every country. From the metal works between Kiri and Kumo, the Iwagakure's natural heat sources, to Suna's not-frozen water in their sands.
It was a terrible war, with a death toll higher than anything before it. It brought the shinobi world to the brink of destruction. And for the second Hokage, it all came down to one battle. He faced off on the outskirts of the land of the rain against the Mizukage and the Raikage, three of the most powerful men in the entire world squared off in a three-way battle royale, leaving all three heavily wounded, but Kishimoto came out on top, and just as he was about to put an end to their reign, he was called away, his soldiers that he had brought with him were pinned down, and were all sure to die if he didn't assist them.
For 24 hours straight he fought off Ninjas from every nation trying to attack his wounded soldiers, while still suffering from the injuries he had received from the two kages. In the end, it was not the ninja that got to him, but the cold. Once the unit he was protecting was safe, the frostbite had gotten to bad on his left arm and right leg that they could not be saved, they had to be amputated.
He spent the next half year recovering from his injuries, no prosthetics were good enough to allow him to use them in combat, no metal arms were capable of replicating his hand movement for seals, nor how quickly he moved his legs, and so he continued on with only two limbs. The winter passed following the end of the war, and they could begin to rebuild the world, Konoha at the top, once more. Even if it was a Pyhrric victory, it was a victory none the less.
Thanks to the sacrifice of the Second, many men and women could return to konoha and rebuild, but with a lot of his strength gone, he thought it best to step down from his position as Hokage, retiring to civilian life for a while.
Back in the Vest: 41 - 42
Having recovered from his injuries, he's put on the green flack jacket again, and is once again a jounin, in service of the Hidden Leaf. He's been training academy students, but now thinks himself ready to take on a new squad and lead them into missions.

Not much can be said about his clan. His biological father was an average warrior, the only of the clan. The rest are civilians. There's nothing special about any of them.

Eiichiro Toriyama | Biological father | 39 at the time of death. Soldier, died when Kishimoto was a child.

Hyuga Mizu | Surrogate Mother| 30 at the time of death. Hokage's advisor, jounin and the most loving mother anyone could ever have asked for.
Hatake Juri | Spouse | 29, medical ninja of jounin rank, head surgeon at the Konoha hospital. Took care of Kishi after the war and since then they fell in love. She's four months pregnant.
| Ｄｒｅａｍｓ ａｎｄ ｆｅａｒｓ: |
Once, his dreams were to make his father proud. To be as great of a leader as the First had been before him - to protect everyone in his village, man, woman and child. To see to nurture the will of fire so many hold dear. But lately, these ideals have shifted, as has his position in life. Now, he's a far more reserved man, back to being a grunt, not a leader. Now he wants to protect his fellow soldiers, inspire the younger generation and to see his unborn child come into the world.
His greatest fear is to lose all which he cares for. The winter almost cost him the village, the war almost cost him his soldiers. He fears being as powerless as he was so many years ago as a young man when his mother was murdered and he was unable to do anything to stop it.
