[b]Nation:[/b] Land of Rising Sun. [b]Rank:[/b] Chūnin, Tracker Nin. [b]Clan:[/b] Taiyo [b]Nature Release:[/b] Hikaton, Light Release. [b]Kekkei Genkai:[/b] Sanryūgan [hider=Prism Eye] [center][IMG]http://i40.tinypic.com/14skraq.jpg[/IMG][/center] A Dōjutsu almost entirely wiped out from history, but managed to survive in a small group from the Land of Rivers known as the Taiyo clan. The Sanryūgan holds the ability to view light in a way a regular eye couldn't allowing the clan to become not only excellent at tracking but also at simply spotting potential threats. While the Sanryūgan doesn't present the user with direct abilities like the Sharingan, it does however open up access to Hikaton, or a style known simply as 'Light Release', which can loosely be defined as the Taiyo clan controlling photons with their Chakra. Along with this the Sanryūgan can potentially present the ability to view light through various parts of the spectrum depending on skill. Those who are gifted with the Sanryūgan are identified by the violet/maroon hue of the eyes as no two eyes share the exact shade along with the peculiar triangular iris. As the users eyes adjust to focus on different parts of the light spectrum the eyes will change from a more violet hue to a deep crimson red.[/hider] [b]Notable Traits:[/b] Deep violet eyes with a peculiar shaped iris, reddish-brown hair, green colored facial markings which identify him as part of the Lizard-nin clan. Naku also is noted to be seen with a black happuri in place of the regular Shinobi headband wearing armor underneath his attire as well, dressing typically as Shinobi of older generations might. [b]History:[/b] Nakuzu was born like any normal child was, to two loving parents who adored the boy. His father was a clanless Shinobi who was known for his summoning techniques and defensive capabilities. While his mother was a member of the Taiyo clan and acted as one of the top trackers and medical Kunochi, her ability to keep eyes in all directions gave her allies a massive advantage when they went out to rescue survivors or help the wounded. Before Nakuzu could turn an age to understand anything, he was snatched in the middle of the night by a bandit looking for ransom. The man however didn't get far before his mother was already hot on his trail, in order to throw them off his trail he tossed the child off into the woods recklessly and what would have been a fateful fall became nothing more than an upset newborn. A small Ninja lizard by the name of Aoi caught the child and brought him back to an underground cave where his species resided away from the hawks who preyed on them. It was here the boy would spend the majority of his early childhood being trained by what he thought was his family. It wasn't until he was about eight where he identified the fact that he simply wasn't the same animal as those around him. After confronting the elder, Nakuzu was given the Tokage scroll and for the first time in many years the Shinobi Lizards would align themselves with a human. The boy was then sent off to return to where he was born, in search of his true parents. For many months he traveled, enduring hardships along the way no child his age should have. Being taught to understand harmony by the Lizards prevented Naku from developing a pessimistic attitude and simply caused him to be more determined and hone his body even more. After almost a year, he stumbled upon the village which was described to him by the lizard-nin. When he approached, they easily recognized him as a member of the Taiyo clan and brought him straight to the clan elders who recognized the child as the one who disappeared all those years ago. Sadly, both his parents had spent so much time searching for him they had both met untimely demises. Unable to truly feel any sort of remorse for people he never knew, Naku decided to honor them by following the village they once fought to protect while maintaining his connection to the lizard-nin. Having already been trained in Ninjutsu, Naku excelled through the Academy in a single year and had been made Genin at age of eleven, something unheard of in Kyokujitsu. During his short period as a professional Shinobi Nakuzu has managed to gather a strong pool of techniques and skills, having completed the Chūnin exams only a few months ago made him one of the youngest Chūnin alive. [b]Combat Style:[/b] Naku's upbringing allowed him to have a very unique style of combat. During his time spent with the Lizards he was trained in the arts of Chakra control, honing one's body and the specialized Taijutsu which includes using the Chokutō. The lizards trained him to use the Chokutō as a tongue, to extend reach, disable the target and efficiently eliminate prey. They also taught him the specialized art of lizard evasion, which gives the enemy the impression they have you before you manage to slip out and escape to either fight another day, or retaliate with a powerful counter attack. When he was reunited with his clan, they began teaching him the advanced forms of Ninjutsu and unlocked his advanced Chakra nature early, Hikaton. With his mastery of a unique Taijutsu style and his ever-expanding knowledge of Ninjutsu becoming more and more skilled.
