Orochimaru
"It's human nature not to realize the true value of something, unless they lose it."

A woman in a crow's mask and carrying an enormous Odachi marched in uniform step a few feet behind the Sage of Snakes as he made his way from the administration building to the labs. The administration building was still only half rebuilt. When he had arrived in this village ten years prior, the very idea of even having conventional targets for his enemies to strike had been absurd. No... it wasn't until he'd established his hidden labs and recruited enough followers that the order to rebuild what had been a lackluster administration building in the first place made any sort of strategic sense. And now, with Iwagakure providing additional funding and support, putting together a structured village was a real possibility.

He wasn't naïve. He knew that the old Tsuchikage was merely using him as a tool in that political game he wanted to play. The ancient fool was proud, bold even, but it didn't matter to Orochimaru. It was noise, sound, and that was just where he'd chosen to hide: lying in the grass, hidden in the sound. Even this administration building was a misdirection. It was as unimportant as the village itself to his ambitions, but it was useful. The lives of everyone in his village were useful until they weren't.

"Squad 36 has failed their mission, Lord Otokage", the woman stated in a murmur. Her voice rode on the hum of the summer cicada and reached Orochimaru's ears with no effort at all, "all seven operatives were lost."

"Confirmed lost", he queried.

"Confirmed, sir."

A grin spread across Orochimaru's face that the woman would be unable to see, "Make sure they remain lost. We will have to find replacements for their positions."

Like with most people, whether it was acquiring allies, eliminating one's enemies, or exposing traitors, the best tool was almost always temptation.

"It is about time for Nakano to be promoted, isn't it?", he asked in a leisurely way, opening the first door to the only labs located in Otogakure proper. This was where he spent most of his time, but it was important that he make appearances elsewhere. The eyes of his enemies were always on him. They were on him now. Jun did not respond immediately.

"Sir, there is still no word back from that mission."

"When she returns, she will be made jounin and given control over Team 2's vacant jounin spot."

There was a longer pause.

"Sir, that man is here."

"He can wait. You can entertain him", he said coldly, closing the door behind him.

The Delicate Flower

✖ ‖ P e r s o n a l i t y

Upbeat and friendly, Remi is chatty and social-minded. Having grown up with so many sisters, he's a bit more comfortable talking to girls than other guys and his tastes are a little more feminine than most. He's poetic, a little self-centered, and is known to be charming, especially to adults and the elderly. He is extremely vain and can't stand the idea of appearing ugly or even ungraceful. He can be a little presumptuous about other people and even pushy, at times, though he rarely means to impose. At his heart, though, he's not as care free as he seems and will fight to defend his friends. He has had a huge and very obvious crush on Rina Uchiha since as long as he's known her.

"To champion the beautiful over the ugliness of the world, to show others that beauty and show them their own beauty, that is my ninja way!"

✖ ‖ B i o g r a p h y

The youngest of several girls and the only boy, Remi got a lot of attention and he reveled in it. He loved to play with his sisters and was a ham, even when he was just a baby. Beloved and happy, despite growing up in the middle of the war. His parents did quite a bit to keep the effects of the war away from the family, even though they and his eldest sisters were participating in it. It wasn't until he was four that he had his first experience of it, when his father came home injured, bleeding from his shoulder and head. Though bandaged, he developed a fever and had to be taken to the hospital.

Visiting his father there, he saw all the other casualties of the war. Lying in their beds, they all seemed so... so helpless. And the blood and disease... it was all so ugly. How could there be so much ugliness in the world? It was then that he decided to be a ray of light, a champion of beauty. When he joined the academy, he found that, while not so naturally strong as other boys, he had a gift for grace, for precision, for chakra control. He could move well and easily and medicine became a firm interest for him as well as fuinjutsu. Altogether, he was popular and his gabby personality made him many friends.

But there was one person for whom he gravitated the most... a girl named Rina. When he first met her, she seemed so pained, so sad, so sullen, he wanted her to be happy. Because... she was so beautiful. Why should she be so sad? And though his many attempts to woo her seemed to fall flat, he was determined that one day, he'd succeed. Some day.

-Unsealing Technique: A technique used by shinobi to unseal what was sealed within a scroll or a sheet of paper.
-Enclosing Technique: Using this technique, a wide variety of objects and even living things can be stored within scrolls, and can be released when the scroll is opened or meets a specific condition. It is possible to seal ninjutsu into a scroll.
-Cherry Blossom Revealing: A practiced method of unsealing and resealing a pair of scrolls Remi keeps in his robes, which allows him to quickly summon or unsummon weapons stored within them. When a new weapon is summoned, a flurry of cherry blossom petals flies out as well, creating a pretty distraction.
-Cherry Blossom Fist: A taijutsu style that is both beautiful and graceful. Through this style, Remi has practiced most weapons and weapon types. He is much less skilled in the hand to hand aspects of the style.
-Cherry Blossom Flurry of Illusion: Remi creates several clones with a flurry of cherry blossom petals, and they rush around the opponent before charging the enemy at different times, making it extremely difficult to tell when the real attack is coming. Sometimes supplemented with thrown shuriken, kunai, and senbon, making it extra confusing.

✖ ‖ F i g h t i n g S t y l e

Versatile, graceful, and ever-changing, Remi stays on the move and makes copious use of basic clones while often changing weapons and duel-wielding even large weapons. He is graceful and quick on his feet, knowing how to stay at the proper range while confusing the enemy. He's unlikely to engage in very close range, but revels in finding good and different angles with which to press his attack. Not having any large moves, he's much more evasive than most, which serves him well when he's attending to a fallen ally. He is surprising.

Jira, Niji

✖ ‖ P e r s o n a l i t y

The shortest and scrawniest boy in his family, he has a chip on his shoulder and something to prove. He's quick-tempered, especially when people underestimate him or compare him to his brother, and he's prone to lashing out. He is also known to call himself the "Dragon of the Leaf" and challenge people to fights over perceived slights. He hates the idea of not being able to beat someone who he thinks he's smarter than and struggles with feelings of physical inadequacy. That said, he isn't lazy and his stubbornness and spite is often surprising to people who would like to count him out. He loves his puppy more than almost anything else in the world and he's just about the only person that can cool his anger except his younger brother. He rarely admits that he's wrong and can be a little explosive when confronted. He is profoundly irritated with being ordered to do grunt work or things he considers brainless and will complain about it. Altogether, he has difficulty expressing his feelings, if he's not angry. He has a softer side, but his outside is all prickly. If he wasn't so sure that showing vulnerability would just confirm the worst things he believes about himself, he may venture to reveal himself to anyone but his puppy. He's naturally very curious, inquisitive, and investigatory and his lack of trust in people makes him great at finding out ways people are lying. He loses a lot of his challenges.

Nijira was born premature and even among small babies, he was smaller. His survival was miraculous and even years later, his father would say that he was lucky to have been born. His mother believed instead that he had fought for life, a view that impressed itself on young Nijira. For most of his early childhood, he spent his days playing with his older brother, happily following him around and trying to do just what the big boys were doing. He never could quite. All those games were rough and with Jira's small size, he just couldn't keep up. He'd inevitably end up hurt, but he was just as enamored with his older brother as everyone else.

It was hard not to be. Ichi was so effortlessly strong and playful, always smiling, always excited with life. Even as Jira fell and hurt himself running after Ichi, his brother's smiling face and strong outstretched hand lifting him back to his feet and cleaning him up gave him the confidence to keep going. Ichi didn't dwell on things long and it was hard to around him. He just kept moving and so too did Jira. And for a while, that was fine.

Things changed when his little brother Sanji was born. Now Jira was the older brother... but he found himself ill-suited to it. He didn't have his older brother's effortless way about him and despite being two years younger than him, by the time Jira had started at the academy, Sanji was already taller than him and he was often mistaken as the youngest brother! He didn't understand it... Why did he have to be so small and useless? He'd always thought he was just small because he was younger but there had to be something wrong with him. He was their brother, right? But his brothers were born big and grew tall quickly. His older brother was always so healthy and strong, always achieving with ease... and his younger brother was so effortlessly beloved. He was so kind that even though he was shy, he had so many friends... Jira had none of it.

Was it really just luck? Fate? He learned to detest the idea. It was capricious, unreliable, ridiculous. Why should he feel lucky for having to fight for what was just given to so many others? His perfect brother was more than lucky. If it was luck, then luck meant nothing. Jira didn't want luck, he'd decided. He didn't need it. He'd make his own. He had to.

And the academy did little to help. He was quickly singled out for his short stature and, worse, some even knew his older brother. It very quickly became obvious to him that he didn't compare to Ichi in any way except one... he consistently had higher grades than him. Ichi was very quick to congratulate him on his accomplishments but the older he got, the more Jira felt that he was just patronizing him. And the comparisons to his brainless older brother became more and more constant as he failed to live up to his... height. Jira was different! He was Jira!

After several fights in school (all of which he lost), his parents finally stepped in and gave him his own puppy that he was allowed to name himself. He was at first going to name him Mochi, because he was round and pudgy, but then settled on Komainutatsuo, which he thought was a much more intimidating name. Komi, as he nicknamed him, quickly became his one and only true friend, the only person he trusted... Together, they made up the gulf between him and Ichi. Maybe together, they could surpass him too. He kept his grades up, but now he was more confident in field tests too and it showed. Not that it mattered. Ichi had graduated just as well with near failing grades as Jira did with near perfect ones. Jira never managed to do better in field tests and the one thing that Jira outclassed Ichi in didn't really matter in the end.

-Combination Transformation- This is an advanced version of the Transformation Technique, where two or more users combine into one form in order to gain that form's physical abilities.

-Four Legs Technique- One of the "Imitation Beast Ninja Arts", this technique allows the user to move in the same way as an animal. By surrounding their body with chakra and moving about on all fours, the user's speed and accuracy are significantly enhanced, which in turn makes their attacks more damaging. He uses this to supplement his already quick speed and allows him to utilize claws, which he prefers, as he isn't very large.

-Passing Fang- The user moves at a target at high speeds and delivers a body slam. Because of how quickly they move, the user travels in a fairly straight line, necessitating that they anticipate the target's movements in order to ensure a successful strike. As they move at the target, the user spins rapidly in order to pierce targets, drilling even through stone.

-Beast Human Clone- An "Imitation Human Ninja Art", this technique transforms a ninken into their Inuzuka partner. By doing this, the Inuzuka gains a copy of themselves that serves the same practical purpose as a shadow clone but without a shadow clone's steep chakra requirement.

-Beast Tearing Palm- A powerful technique of wind nature chakra that can cut and slash through most material. Jira activates it by summoning chakra in his claws, and then swipes a slicing chakra wave.

-Feral Barrage- A series of speedy and aggressive slashing attacks made with Jira's claws whilst he moves at the opponent. While no individual hit may be special exactly, the strength of the technique is that the forward momentum, slashes, and speed are actually used evasively and to crowd the opponent, making it very difficult to counter from the front or from behind. It is vulnerable to surprise attacks from the side, but once Jira has closed the distance, getting to the side of him is extremely perilous. Can be used on midair opponents, though it loses some of its agility. Requires the use of Four Legs Technique.

-Moon Crescent Kick- Meant to be used as a countering kick in which Jira either somersaults forward or backwards, either kicking the opponent into the air or into the ground. Sometimes used as an interrupt to the Feral Barrage, but more often used when an opponent manages to back him up.

✖ ‖ W e a p o n s A n d T o o l s

Komainutatsuo- His Ninken. A strong fighting dog originally gifted to him to protect him from bullying, he's a very loyal and friendly dog with Jira's best interests at heart. He is Red/orange and cream with with a black nose and resembles an American bulldog or pitbull puppy. He is very light-hearted until someone threatens Jira, in which case, he has only one objective... and that is to protect his brother! He is quite strong for his size and relative young age and he takes to training well, always looking to wrestle or pull one towards something he finds interesting... which is a lot of things. He has most of the same jutsu as Jira except Beast Tearing Palm. He also has Dynamic Marking, which allows him to pee on a target to be able to more easily track it.

-Soldier Pills- special pills that nourish the body and can replenish one's chakra. It is made up of powerful stimulants and nutrients that are near-instantly absorbed into the in-taker's body, and said to allow the user to keep fighting for three days and three nights without rest. At the end of the three days effect, the user is brought to the point of complete and utter exhaustion. When fed to Komi, Komi grows a small gold-colored mane and his fur turns deep red and gold and he behaves far more feral and has greater power.

✖ ‖ F i g h t i n g S t y l e

Primarily a speed fighter, Jira prefers to evade and strike than compete in contests of strength. He's quick thinking and relies on that quick thinking rather than fore-planning to get him through whatever situation he finds himself in. That said, he is quick to adjust his strategy and builds on it as he gets more information. This doesn't prevent him from jumping into situations without information, however, and sometimes, if he is prodded into it, he can fly into a rage. When he's winning he can gloat or taunt his opponent, sometimes to his determent.

[color=yourcolor]Iomante Clan: This now defunct clan was once known for their guerrilla warfare. Hailing from the Land of Waterfalls, this clan far predated Takigakure and maintained a distance from the village until its dying days. They venerated the great bear and as a nature-worshipping clan had very little to do with the business and economy of the village. They are still remembered for their bravery in the shinobi world wars, where they deftly defended the nation from the forests, allowing Takigakure proper to focus their fighting power in other areas. They fell into some decline and their clan home was sometime in the past few years subject to some calamity.

She's also known to be highly rebellious when dealing with superiors that she doesn't personally know, but it's a problem that rarely lasts for too long as the inquisitive and naturally friendly Shoko will spend a lot of time getting to know her superiors and her teammates as quickly as possible. She simply will not follow who she doesn't trust. For those that she trusts, she is unfailing on the battlefield, always smiling and always moving towards her objectives, despite any obstacles in her way.

[color=yourcolor]Born into the Iomante Clan, Shoko's road to becoming a shinobi of the Sound was mostly accidental. Her people were bear worshippers, hunters, and trackers. They were ninja, but unlike other clans, it wasn't what they relied on in order to survive. Theirs was a traditional life of worship and ceremony and set roles. One such ceremony, their most important ceremony centered around the taking in of a bear cub after having killed and eaten its mother. Raised as one of their own, even going so far as to share chakra, Shoko loved her new little brother Yuuheimaru and the two were inseparable.

"Bear chakra makes us strong" is what her father told her and it was true. While she grew strong with her brother as much as he grew smarter. For two years, they were as close as could be until it was time for the next part of the ceremony. "The Life Chakra of a bear is in its flesh", said her father as he brought Yuuheimaru to the center of the clan home and tied him down. It was now time to slaughter him as they'd slaughtered, devoured, and venerated his mother. Upon seeing the rest of her clan begin to fire arrows at her little brother, she ran and threw herself on top of him with a knife to cut him free, the pair in a stumbled sprint with arrows in their back.

Being from a clan of shinobi trackers and hunters, the fact that she wasn't stopped and then, after escaping, bleeding by the river and trying to treat her brother's wounds, that she wasn't recovered was unthinkable. But after three days, no one came for her. She was sure she and her brother would die there alone with nothing but the sound of running water for comfort until a man approached her. She'd seen him in her clan home, she was sure. He was a foreigner, strange and lithe and pale.

"Is this as far as you can run? I can push you into the river", said the man, "If you're already dead, who cares?"

Shoko could say nothing. She could barely move, but as the man stepped closer, Yuuheimaru growled and threw an arm around her weakly.

"There's a village only four miles that way", continued the man, pointing East, "There is probably no reason to but if you can get there in three days, you might find something interesting after that."

After a period of adjusting, Shoko took to life in the Sound very well. Even though it barely consisted of ramshackle huts, Otogakure felt more like home than where she'd been, where she couldn't go back to. She was constantly moving which suited her just fine; she would follow Orochimaru anywhere he wished to take her. Yuuhei and she learned to fight together, with each other, and with other shinobi. Back then, learning wasn't so structured. She learned on missions and from whatever the former Missing-Nin would teach her. It was a hard life, but Shoko was a ray of sunshine in it, happily caring for those around her, even after having to fight them. Her unceasing positive outlook served her well and she rose through the ranks quickly, becoming a jounin and being placed in Orochimaru's small burgeoning Anbu Corp by the time she was 18.

As the village started to become more centralized, she was given more duties at home, eventually being given charge over Sound's Team 3.[/color]
