History: Ryuunosuke was an extremely driven and brash ninja, always wanting to be the best, and to prove himself in battle. He took whatever risk he could if it meant he could show his mettle. His dream was to become famous. His skill was quickly earning
There was one failure however that he could never let go, and forever frustrated him. A chain of missions he came to dub ‘shade’ hunting. A mysterious individual who had mastered seals. Every time Ryuunosuke took one of these missions, he felt like a fool by the end, always falling headfirst into some trap. It made him more determined to catch this shade. His frustration was never ending, and soon he turned to a source he’d never looked to before, to books and scrolls, trying to figure out how he could best the anonymous man. Soon he evaded more and more traps, and he felt like he was coming close to touching The Shade, to meeting him.
Ryuunosuke’s search was put on hold however when the First Shinobi War broke out. He was quickly realizing his dream faster than ever, earning the moniker ‘The Crimson Phoenix’ for his mastery of Cloud Style Flame Beheading with his bo-staff during the war, leaving trails of flames wherever he fought.
However, a fateful turn would occur during the war. After a fierce combat against Leaf Combatants, the cloud forces were encouraged to pursue them. Something felt wrong with it. Ryuunosuke recognized the trap just before it triggered, managing to dodge out the way. Sensing the trap had been triggered, the Uzumaki clan turned, attacking the small force.
Being the only one who could fight, Ryuunosuke turned to face them. He was badly outmatched, and it didn’t take long for them to tag him with a seal to suppress his chakra, to prevent him from casting jutsu. The leader of the group, Kotaro, approached, telling Ryuunosuke it was pointless, as the Uzumaki were the strongest seal users, and he had no way to fight back, his body would break if he tried.
Ryuunosuke welcomed the invitation. In a bid of desperation, he poured his chakra directly into the seal, releasing all the chakra he could muster at Kotaro. The attempt resulted in an explosion, most of the chakra smashed back into his body, damaging his chakra system in the process. As the smoke cleared, the rest of the group moved in, grabbing Kotaro. As they pulled his body back from the smoke, they found his head had been completely seared off.
Ryuunosuke laid panting against a tree from the effort. He stood up again defiantly against the group, knowing he was outmatched. Pouring his chakra into his staff again for his signature technique, he found nothing happening. His body wouldn’t listen. It didn’t even feel like he even HAD chakra.
Then, even as the group got their wits about them a smoke bomb sailed through the air and struck ground right between Ryuunosuke and the enemy shinobi. Ryuu would hear someone land next to him, followed by the man’s voice, “You really got yourself into one hell of a situation,” he whispered even as a fireball sailed through the smoke.
The man, who Ryuunosuke would see was masked and robed, merely raised his blade, allowing the fireball to strike it and then immediately disappear as a result. “We’re getting you out of here alive, and I do mean
we the robbed man said, grasping his blade.
Ryuunosuke tried again to flood his staff with chakra, but failed to. He spat at the ground.
“I can’t use any chakra. The crimson phoenix without any flames, I’m not even a ninja right now.”
The man exhaled sharply as he heard the fool’s words, but he didn’t reply right away. Instead, he rushed forwards right into the midst of the Uzumaki, and swung his gilded blade. The first was taken entirely by surprise and it was his undoing, evidenced by the gore, which spilled from his open wound while he fell backwards.
Ryuunosuke’s ally didn’t stop however, instead he jumped onto the man’s body, pushed off of it, whipped his blade out to alter his course, and landed on someone’s head, bending down as he toppled and stabbing a kunai deep into his eye socket.
The robed figure then spun, taking out five men with his great sword in one fell swoop. Another lunged into the opening and placed his hand on the figure’s back. The seal formed, then immediately crumbled even as he swept the man’s legs from beneath him with one leg and then slammed his foot down on his head when he hit the ground.
The remaining shinobi stared at the grey and white clad man, but he wasn’t looking at them. No, he had locked eyes with Ryuunosuke, and as he did he spoke, “Not one jutsu and eight men are dead.”
Ryuunosuke couldn’t help but look in awe. Who was this guy? He felt some natural respect to him, and he didn’t know why exactly. But he was right. There was still a way.
He had his staff, and that was enough.
“Time for a phoenix to be reborn.”
He rushed headfirst into the group. Between the two, the Uzumaki clan had to fled, and not one man of his station had been killed.
Ryuunosuke did pay a price for pushing the seal however. His ninjutsu never came back to him. However, he felt indebted to the man who had saved him, and as long as there was a way, he decided to keep pressing forward.
Without his ninjutsu, he had to learn discretion, he had to learn how to fight intelligently, and began studying even more ardently. He persevered the war, fighting through many important battles as handicapped as he was.
As soon as the war ended, Ryuunosuke disappeared. He was declared missing in action due to respect for his actions rather than rogue.
Ryuunosuke determined he was going to overcome his handicap if he was to be a proper ninja. He travelled and trained for 4 years. He never neglected his studies, and began to notice all the little things of nature, and of small towns. He observed how he and the animals around him moved.
One particular thing eventually inspired him, watching a dragonfly hunt, how it stayed in a point of vision. He grew more intelligent and strong, becoming much stronger than before he lost his jutsu.
As quickly as he had vanished, he reappeared in the Cloud. To his surprise, Genmyou had become the Raikage. To his relief, he gave him a pardon. And so Ryuunosuke resumed his life as a ninja. He was well noted for his observant mind, and eventually became an advisor to the Raikage.
Personality: Ryuunosuke acts brash and forward, though it belies his methodical nature. He’s, over years, learned to slow down much more than in his younger days. He believes strongly in the saying “Haste makes waste”
