“I don't like losing, but when I do lose I learn to be better”

| Ｐｅｒｓｏｎａｌ ｂｉｏｇｒａｐｈｙ: |

Izo was born in Kirigakure two years before the terrible winter came and his life during the two years before the snow came was good. But then the terrible winter came and things in Kirigakure became very dark. Despite the many years of peace that the village had seen, this winter caused them to revert back to their bloody past and Izo became spent his early childhood with little food and when he joined the shinobi academy with the hopes of aiding his nation in fighting off the starvation and protecting their precious resources from rival nations.

During this period, he had to learn how to fight and survive in the cruel new world. And like with most of his fellow mist shinobi, Izo felt his kind nature become more aggressive. He had to do what he could for his village and his family. No matter the cost he had to survive and help his village make it through the winter. After ten years of snow, the cold had finally started to disappear and make way for fertile soil to grow crops. To Izu it was a miracle and he hoped that things would be better now that the winter was gone.

However, the nations still felt the hatred of the winter years and thoughts of revenge came into the minds of many. This created great tensions and the terrible effects of the great winter could still be felt throughout the shinobi world. Two years had passed since the snow had disappeared and now there were rumors of another winter possibly coming and Izu felt cold fear grip him at the thought of experiencing yet another age of a frozen world and horrible conflict. But he wouldn't let that get in the way of his duties and as a genin he still had dreams of becoming a great shinobi and help defend his village.

| Ｆａｍｉｌｙ ｂｉｏｇｒａｐｈｙ: |

The Moroku clan was one of the top clans of Kirigakure and possessed a powerful dōjutsu known as the Sūgaku-No-Me. His clan was known for producing great shinobi and during the winter years they had been influential in helping keep order within the land of water. For Izu he had always been proud to be a member of his clan and was able to please his parents, but the winter years had seen many members of his clan die. After the snow receded his clan was smaller, but they were able to help a lot in rebuilding the land of water.

| Ｆａｍｉｌｙ ｔｉｅｓ: |

Fill in this form for his direct family. At the very least his (biological) parents.

Name: Gin Moroku | father | 39, Kirigakure, shinobi, His father is a Jonin and has seen far more worse things in the winter conflicts and he has the scars to show it. He is a good and honorable man, but he hides it to not seem weak as a shinobi.
Name: Kina Moroku | mother | 38, Kirigakure, shinobi, she is also a Jonin and fought many battles during the freezing years. She wanted peace between the great nations and hope that there would be no further war. She is kind and tries to avoid unessasary fighting when she can. To Izu it almost is like she was one of the few people to not turn darker during the winter years.

| Ｄｒｅａｍｓ ａｎｄ ｆｅａｒｓ: |

Izu dreams of being a great shinobi who is worthy of his clan.

Deep down Izu fears the coming of another long winter and having to relive those terrible memories of fighting just to survive and keep his village alive.

Sūgaku-No-Me

Ｄｅｓｃｒｉｐｔｉｏｎ

the Sūgaku-No-Me is an eye technique that causes the user's eyes to become a bright unnatural shade of blue and small numerical like symbols to appear on his irises. This allows him to see the mathematical equations of things in the world around him and the distance of the objects, which appear as a sequence of mathematical symbols and numbers. Basically he can see the numerical distance of something he focuses on. When he looks at an object, it has a mathmatic equation around it and he can understand it. The user can even see the mathematical equation of chakra, which he can recognize. Each kind of person or object has a unique mathematical equation that he can potentially recognize, which makes them able to potentially see through a genjutsu depended on how powerful the genjutsu is and how much the Sūgaku-No-Me user has mastered the bloodline technique.

Ｓｔｒｅｎｇｔｈｓ

Able to see the exact numerical distance of objects.
Able to see through varying ranks of genjutsu depending on the user's mastery.
Able to perceive the mathematical equation of chakra.
Izu is currently only a novice with his eye technique and can only see the numerical distance of an object of up to a hundred feet.

Ｗｅａｋｎｅｓｓｅｓ

Uses up a good amount of chakra to maintain.
Unlike other eye techniques, the Sūgaku-No-Me doesn't grant him the ability to have a better reaction time or see with almost a full 360 degrees.
The user can lose track of specific objects if not focusing very well and has to keep track of which object/objects is important.

Ｒａｎｋ

B

Ｒａｎｇｅ

Mid range

Ｄｅｓｃｒｉｐｔｉｏｎ

This technique creates a stone tower from the ground and it rushes forward at the user's target with great speed. The tower is about twice the size of a human and hits with stone crushing force. The purpose of this technique is to ram opponents in the hopes of breaking bones or knocking them off balance. Despite it's great speed and power, this technique can be taxing on the user's chakra if used too much and lightning chakra techniques can shatter the tower.

Ｊｕｔｓｕ ｎａｍｅ

Earth Release: Spike Strike

Ｒａｎｋ

C

Ｒａｎｇｅ

Close range.

Ｄｅｓｃｒｉｐｔｉｏｎ

This technique causes a large spike to shoot up out of the ground near the user's feet to try and impale an opponent that is within six feet of the user. The spike can stretch out to a maximum of six feet. It is vulnerable to lightning attacks and staying out of its range can make it very ineffective against a very agile opponent.

Ｊｕｔｓｕ ｎａｍｅ

Earth Release: Stone Wall

Ｒａｎｋ

C

Ｒａｎｇｅ

Close range

Ｄｅｓｃｒｉｐｔｉｏｎ

The user stomps his foot into the ground and a wall of solid rock rises in front of him to protect him from an oncoming attack in front of him. Even though it is good for protection against powerful physical attacks and water techniques, it is almost useless against lightning techniques and can only protect him from attacks coming at him from one direction.

Psychology & History

_{From detailed inspection and investigation by ANBU and medical personnel}

“I-It’s not that I don’t think I’ll ever be able to meet my father’s expectations. I don’t think I want to.” Does he expect you to turn into a brother owner or something

| Ｐｅｒｓｏｎａｌ ｂｉｏｇｒａｐｈｙ: |

The result between a ruthless ANBU specialist and an unorthodox jōnin, Inori was going to have problems as a functional individual from the onset. Dysfunctional member of society GO

Born in Konohagakure fourteen years ago, Inori’s home life could be described as challenging, especially considering the marque of expectations that were lined up given her status as the firstborn child of the Yamanaka Clan’s de facto leader, Yamanaka Inokaru. A staunch perfectionist and part time elitist, Inori’s father equipped Inori with a sequence of trials as soon as she old enough to take them. Once admitted into the academy these expectations would only increase and as she struggled to appease her father’s wishes she grew to know what disappointment felt like and looked like every time she saw her reflection or a glimpse at her father’s unimpressed expression. As a Yamanaka she was expected to be gifted in Genjutsu, but even more so as the daughter of Yamanaka Inokaru she was expected to meet every standard he met at the same age. Each scowl or head shake led Inori to become more and more passionate and dedicated, though no matter how hard she tried she couldn’t just reach the standards of her father. sad

Inori’s mother, Hagoromo Mitsuko, was no lightweight either when it came to raising her daughter. Outside of philosophical optimism and encouragement, the fire inside her mother was equally hard on Inori; even when she felt like she was accomplishing something she felt like she could hear her mother whisper to another shinobi one single phrase— “She can do better.” That's how you raise kids A sentiment that dampened Inori’s enthusiasm at many turns. So she quit shinobi life and ran away to become a brother owner The shadow of an Academy Student that was trying to live up to two unique icons of their respective generations based on older standards and beliefs of première shinobi criteria; it almost seemed like Inori was set on the path to fail. well, i was close

However, pushing her doubts and fears inside her head and focusing on her studies at the Academy proved to be a less harrowing experience. She did well on the written exams and the way her parents pushed or “encouraged” her allowed her to do sufficiently well on the physical tests as well— it just wasn’t the physical tests she wanted. Inori scored lowly with ninjutsu and “par” for genjutsu; something of a disappointment for her. The silver lining is throughout the years a fire had been started from within which facilitated a need to express her sorrow and discontent; a desire that awakened in taijutsu.

For other shinobi, the harsh winter was something that was on their minds— for Inori it was her harsh parents and their assertion of what she needed to, not could, achieve. You could say the parents were as cold as the winter. ha

~

Inori is a complicated kunoichi— and that is exaggerating. Taking into account her emotional baggage, mental issues, and neglect it is hard to imagine how Inori is functional at all. But somehow, through diligence or a happy accident she appears to be at the very least semi-functional.

But functional does not translate to nice. who woulda thunked it All of the sorrow, shame, doubt, guilt, and hate translates into a volatile aggression, pseudo-confidence, and antagonistic appearances. Inori ignores all of her authentic feelings and replaces them with negative displays of unrest— abusive yelling, patronizing insults, depreciative quips, and denial of affection are all “flavors” of Inori’s outer self its like you coordinated this with asura, who is playing the same thing. It is this behavior that makes her feel better about herself, if only for a moment; as if lashing out at others is an outlet of a greater inner struggle. it probably is A struggle Inori refuses to confront and therefore allows to fester. Ultimately, Inori desires friendship and relatable kinship

>wants friendship
>acquires it by yelling and cussing at people

but identifies as showing certain emotions as weak and unbecoming of a shinobi if we being real here, that's exactly the attitude that should be required. but naruto is the land of friendship and emotions always win over cold calculating ruthlessness, so whatever. For someone to crack the shell would be someone that has made an impression on her, and someone who can suffer through the wicked antagonism she dishes out.

But who could love her enough to tolerate such suffering? Who could care about her when her parents do not?

| Ｆａｍｉｌｙ ｂｉｏｇｒａｐｈｙ: |

Yamanaka.

Hagoromo.

Both are names that have represented Konohagakure for generations, and are still part of the inner workings to this day. The Yamanaka in particular have always been staunch practitioners of caution, preparation, and espionage as evident by their countless roles within the ANBU sub-faction. Many Yamanaka members have been high ranking members of ANBU, though none have ever wish for the position of Hokage as they believed their best work was from behind the scenes and not as the face of an entire civilization. fair

Yamanaka Inokaru is no different in this case. As one of the highest ranking members of ANBU, Inokaru has put his master of Genjutsu on the table to being paramount in protection of Konohagakure’s interests though his pride has teetered toward arrogance in recent years. Inokaru only cares about expectations, preparation, and logistics— thinking those who don’t are naïve imbeciles or incompetent fools. He is only reined in by his optimistic yet frighteningly brutal wife, Hagoromo Mitsuko. I feel like he'd like Mawari

| Ｄｒｅａｍｓ ａｎｄ ｆｅａｒｓ: |

Yamanaka Inori lives for the present and not for the future, or that is what she tells herself. The blonde-haired kunoichi has been known to be incredibly short-sighted and impulsive so gauging her dreams and aspirations are is a challenging endeavor. She’s given various answers to the question in the past— “I don’t think about it.” and “To survive.” being two central answers specifically.

Her fears, on the other hand, tell another story entirely.

Despite being highly confident, headstrong, assertive, and serious in her expressions Inori seems to actually be very conflicted internally. Whilst she would never admit it she is most definitely terrified inside her own head. Feeling like it is impossible to measure up to her clan’s (and father’s) expectations she has a steady issue of actual self-confidence and emotional unrest. The young kunoichi believes she is constantly running and nothing she does gets her closer to the metaphorical finish line— she’s a failure as a genin and she’ll continue to be a failure as a chunin; Yamanaka’s are not taijutsu savants, they are genjutsu savants, and if she cannot live up to that standard she is worthless; a burden on everything her father has given.

Beyond that fear of failure, is a calvacade of doubt and anxiety; something that she refuses to show in any means as it is her central belief, that showing weakness such as revealing your insecurities and sorrow, is the expression of a weak shinobi and she refuses to insult her father or her clan any further. Thus these emotions become repressed, bottled up, and allowed to fester underneath the cracks. Whether this will have long term effects is hard to say absolutely, but it is believed it will negatively impact her sooner or later. For the time these doubts fuel her frustrations which fuel her fighting and drive, so until it becomes a problem it can be seen as an asset. No comment, this is precisely how I wanted this section written, good job

Combat Reports

_{From detailed reports from previous missions and academy sparring matches}

“Get out of my way unless you want to get hurt!”

| Ｆｉｇｈｔｉｎｇ ｓｔｙｌｅ: |

Despite the affinity for Genjutsu that Inori has in spades through the bloodline of her father she isn’t inherently a gifted in Genjutsu or Sensory abilities— a fact that continues to frustrate her throughout her daily life. Most often her paternal clan looks at the young woman as an anomaly, especially once factoring in Inori’s aggressive impulses and anxious temperament. As represented by the flora that embodies her the most, the ederuwaisu, Inori’s inner self is powerful and strong which lends to a partiality to close quarters fighting styles within the form of Taijutsu. The focus of her anger in the category is notable and oddly coordinated; almost as if Inori is at peace when she is most livid. As par the course, Inori is also fundamentally agile though she her form in terms of acrobatics needs a lot more work. It is cited that her chakra reserves are moderate-to-high, though sometimes she exerts herself to the point where her stamina is empty long before her chakra is.

With that said, Inori isn’t entirely without competency in Genjutsu or Ninjutsu— she just isn’t a prodigy like she was expected to be in terms of the former. She’s well versed in her clan techniques and the basics; and given the need (or the ability for her to center herself) can utilize them on a “sufficient” level.

My issue with it is that it would theoretically allow you to mind control player characters (which is like. completely valid) but there are no limits in place that'd prevent you from, say, controlling a player character and having them commit suicide, lol.

@pkken What hillan said. Any shared history is between you and that person

Naruto: Years of Winter - an Alternate Universe

@Thecrash20 Nah, it's alright. I decided that the effort isn't worth it. We will continue as we were and shift characters after the first mission.

Naruto: Years of Winter - an Alternate Universe

I like being on team wildcard right now though. We already started to conformed to one general area as well. I mean it would make sense to put all the genin in one team, if it comes down to it we could switch who is on what team but I like the doing that after the first mission kind of thing

@BladeSS4

Me too.

Naruto: Years of Winter - an Alternate Universe

In short: it's a lot of fucking work. And I am lazy, and kinda don't wanna rewrite the intro. But I know it'll pay off if I do rewrite it.

Naruto: Years of Winter - an Alternate Universe

@LokiLeo789 I mean, I can make the 3 man genin squad, but that'd require..

Pulling Tenshi from team Wildcard @BladeSS4.
Then pulling Mu Sarutobi from team Konoha @Pkken
Replace Mu with Tenshi, Mu Sarutobi goes to team Wildcard.

Place Kohaku in team Konoha (which would mean it wasn't team Konoha anymore) and then put Dio at the leadership of that squad. It accomplishes both my goals of having the Hokage not lead a squad, and having a 3 man.

Just be aware that if we do this, your character could be replaced as leader later on, if I feel the need for it.
