Name: Nara, Shikashi Nickname/Alias: Hikari Burokka (Light Blocker) Gender: Male Age: 17 Age Appearance: 19 Sexuality: Bisexual Birthplace: Nara Compound, Land of Fire Clan/Kekkei Genkai (or hiden): Shadow Manipulation Rank: A (Jounin) Position: Speculated Heir Chakra Nature: Yin Release Additional Appearance Details: Shikashi is around 6’2” and weighs 150 pounds. History: Nara Shikayo is the brother of Nara Shikaro, the head of the Nara clan. Shikayo had a deep rivalry with his brother, Shikaro, and they both catered to their father’s every whim in order to become clan head; in the end, Shikaro won. Shikayo fell in love with a simple girl who lived in a nearby village and went by the name of Kawaguchi Hana. They married soon after meeting and were eager to start a family. When Hana was pregnant, they were overjoyed, but it also furthered Shikayo’s hatred of his brother, knowing that his son would most likely not inherit the Head of the clan. A month after Shikayo’s son, Shikashi, was born, Sora had given the news that she was pregnant. On May 27th, Shikako was born in the Nara Compound to Shikaro and Sora. Growing up, Shikashi and Shikako were continuously pitted against each other due to their fathers’ rivalry. Shikaro and Shikayo attempted to raise their children to be the best of the clan’s kids, prodigies. Despite their dislike, however, Shikashi and Shikako were close and could be considered best friends. It became clear that Shikako had a penchant for the medicine that the Nara clan made when she was five. Shikayo, angry at Shikako’s success, began to increase Shikashi’s lessons and even taught him advanced jutsu before his time. Because of his father’s harshness, Shikashi developed jealousy of Shikako and their friendship was broken. Around the time that the children were supposed to learn the shinobi arts more extensively, it was discovered that Shikako lacked severely in chakra control and could only perform the weakest form of Nara’s renowned shadow techniques. Shikako then began to envy Shikashi who was extraordinary in chakra control and strategies. With Shikashi’s promise, many of the clan thought that Shikashi should become clan head instead of Shikako. The moment that Shikako heard of this from her father was the moment that marked Shikashi’s and Shikako’s inherited rivalry. Shikashi quickly rose in ranks and, within no time, became a jounin. His father was proud and with the speculation that Shikashi should be the one to become Head of the Clan, everything seemed to be going well for him. However, Shikashi continues to hold animosity towards Shikako despite having everything and she having nothing. It confuses him to no end, but the truth of the matter is: her dad loves her more than his dad loves him. And it bothers him greatly. Shikayo sees Shikashi as just another tool to have sway in the Nara Clan and with his father rising high in the political rankings, he doesn’t have time for Shikashi anymore. Not to mention that most people his age feel daunted to talk to him and so he feels all alone. Instead of reconciling with his long-lost cousin, he continues to bury himself a ditch of hatred, insecurity, and fear. Personality: Shikashi is neither serious nor much of a joker. He isn’t quiet nor is he that talkative. One thing can be said about Shikashi, though: his arrogance knows no bounds. Of course, due to deep issues pulsing through his memories, the arrogance is more of a front than anything, but he does fall victim to his own lies. He has told himself that he is the best so many times, has told others that he is the best so many times, that he believes it…unless it is late at night and he can’t sleep. Shikashi is well-mannered unless it comes to his cousin, and when she is around, he will let his tongue whip out like a sword, cutting Shikako with his words. Shikashi is an easily jealous fellow and hates it when others occupy the time of people precious to him: i.e. his dad. The Nara genius does have his good points though: mainly, he is focused and determined to do his best when on a mission and always looks after his teammates.

The techniques strength is proportionate to the chakra put into it. Kage Nui no Jutsu: Uses materialized shadows to attack and bind.

Kageyose no Jutsu: This technique takes the user’s own shadow and transforms and stretches it into countless thin tentacles, which are then used to grab objects and pull them in. Kage-Kubishibari no Jutsu:The shadows are given physical power and then are used to attack body parts by turning the shadow slender and to bind the opponent’s body in order to restrain them. It is commonly used for strangulation. The smaller the distance, the greater the power. It should be used quickly as it costs a lot of chakra. ====================

Name: Mirai Tensai Nickname/Alias: The Young Sage Gender: Female Age: 17 Age Appearance: 15 Sexuality: Bisexual Birthplace: Land of Snow Organization: None Clan/Kekkei Genkai (or hiden): None Rank: B-A Position: Wandering Chakra Nature:Fire, Earth, Water Additional Appearance Details: Mirai is a shorter five foot three and weighs one hundred and ten pounds. History: TBA (will post in soon) Personality: Mirai loves to fight. She loves the exhilarating rush that comes when she doesn’t know whether or not she can win. This surge of adrenaline has lead her since she was just a young girl. Mirai doesn’t really have any allegiances past her own moral compass, which is slightly grey. Outside of battle Mirai typically acts immaturely, but not on purpose. Due to the fact that she was raised by the Monkeys of Saru Jungle she isn’t completely accustomed to the proper way of doing things, but she tries to get it right. In battle Mirai typically is either bored or entertained. She very rarely takes a fight all that serious commonly wanting to fight at full strength with whatever enemy she may be up against at the time. Do to her great rapport with the Monkeys, most summons will know of her as one of their sages. Theme: Optional.

Special Traits Mirai has a very large chakra pool Mirai, having been raised by the Monkeys of the Saru jungle located just off the coast of the Land of Water’s ocean, is extremely agile in the trees and can maintain complete orientation and stability even while performing multiple flips and acrobatic feats. She has spent a great deal of time training using only one sense at a time: sight, sound, smell and touch. Mirai is considered a jack of all trades, though she is obviously a master in none. One of Mirai’s main weaknesses is her lack of ability outside of sage mode. Name of Kekkei Genkai/Hiden/Kekkei Tota: Clan: N/A Description: ========================================= Techniques: Canon Jutsu Kuchiyose: Raikō Kenka Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Monkey): Rōen is six feet tall and weighs approximately two hundred pounds.

Katon: Haisekishō Doton: Doryūheki Katon: Karyū Endan Sage Mode: Monkey: Mirai’s iris’ shrink and are surrounded by a pupil-like black ring. She grows an ape like tail that is easily her strongest appendage. It’s covered in brown fur. These are the only physical changes that Mirai undergoes and is the sign of a true monkey sage. Shikoku Fūin Generic Sealing Techinque Henge: Kongōnyoi: Rōen Kongō Rōheki: Rōen Custom Jutsu Name of Technique: Senpō: Ranbu (Sage Art: Wild Dance) Type of Jutsu: Senjutsu, Bukijutsu Rank: B Range: Close - Mid Nature Type: N/A Handseals: N/A Description: Mirai leaps around using her enhanced agility and reflexes to spread her titanium wire around the immediate area, unspooling it with both hands. After it has been adequately spread around the area, Mirai can use it to maneuver the environment easily, it resembling a jungle, while also impeding the opponent. By adding chakra to the wire, Mirai can alter how sharp the wires are, further impeding their movement. If the wires aren’t hung on anything, Mirai can utilize the flint in her mouth to cause the wires to catch fire, titanium causing the fire to be incredible hot. Weakness: It requires some sort of foliage to set up, that or something else to hang the wires off of otherwise they are just on the ground, the technique is still usable just not to swing around on, obviously. ==================== Name of Technique: Senpō: Kongōnyoi Hifu (Sage Art: Adamantine Skin) Type of Jutsu: Senjutsu, Ninjutsu Rank: A Range: Contact Nature Type:N/A Handseals: N/A Description: Mirai by placing one hand on a body part can transform that limb or body part, replacing the skin with adamantine a substance as hard as diamond with incredible destructive power. She still feels pain, but she is able to use it to survive what would be fatal blows and deal incredible amounts of damage to an opponent. Weakness:This technique requires Mirai to be still while using it and slows down her physical movements slightly with the affected limbs. ==================== Name of Technique: Senpō: Shizen Fukinkō (Sage Art: Natural Misbalance) Type of Jutsu: Senjutsu, Taijutsu Rank: A Range: Close Nature Type:N/A Handseals: Clap hands together Description: Upon clapping her hands together Mirai can use her natural energy to a completely different effect. In a manner similar to Chakra Enhanced Strength, Mirai focuses natural energy into a limb that will come in contact with the enemy. She uses this to misbalance the enemies natural energy, turning the body part that she strikes and the muscles underneath it to stone, rendering a limb unusable or even killing an opponent. Weakness:Avoid at all costs. ==================== Name of Technique: Senpō: Saru Kumite (Sage Art: Monkey Kata) Type of Jutsu:Senjutsu Rank:B Range: Close Nature Type: N/A Handseals: N/A Description: This technique uses a thick cloud of natural energy to take almost a photograph of what the user looks like at the moment of activation. Anyone without thorough training in Natural Energy will be unable to see Mirai for two seconds, she will usually follow this up with some sort of Taijutsu combo or the beginning of the technique. Weakness: Being hit during this technique will most certainly knock her out of sage mode do to the high amount of concentration it requires. ==================== Name of Technique: Senpō: Kuchiyose Sōran (Sage Art: Summoning Mayhem) Type of Jutsu: Senjutsu, Fuinjutsu Rank: A Range: Mid-Close Nature Type: N/A Handseals: 3, blood Description: Mirai will form several seals, either by dragging her feet while she is fighting to draw lines in the ground, with her Senpō Ranbu or through Shikoku Fūin. After drawing each seal Mirai will be able to place her palm onto any of the seals to summon her personal summon Rōen. The other seals can, from there on, be used to transport either Rōen or Mirai to one of the other ones. The only trick is to transport Rōen, Mirai must use the seal and vice versa. Weakness:This technique requires a lot of preparation and also requires both users to be aware of the technique. ==================== Name of Technique: Senpō: Toroi no Uma (Sage Art: Trojan Horse) Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu, Senjutsu Rank: A Range: All Nature Type: N/A Handseals: Clone Seal Description: Appearing for all intents and purposes like a shadow clone, Mirai creates a clone comprised of almost all natural energy. Upon dispersal, like the lightning shadow clone the clone’s natural energy will attach onto the nearest opponent whom cannot use natural energy within a few feet and attempt to overload their body with natural energy, turning them into a statue. Weakness: This effect can be adverted if the opponent has enough knowledge of natural energy to circumvent the effect, otherwise staying away from the clone will do. ==================== Name of Technique: Senpō: Kumo Aruku (Sage Art: Cloud Walk) Type of Jutsu: Senjutsu, Ninjutsu Rank: B Range: All Nature Type: Futon Handseals: 4 Description:Mirai uses natural energy to condense evaporated water and form a cloud and solidifies that cloud with chakra, making it dense enough to stand on and block shuriken and kunai. This cloud can fly at a speed slightly faster than Izumi can run and attain an altitude of just overtop the clouds. Weakness:This is strictly a supplementary technique ==================== Name of Technique: Senpō: Saru wa Miru Saru ga Yaru (Sage Art: Monkey See, Monkey Do) Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu, Senjutsu Rank: A Range: One Target Nature Type: N/A Handseals: 2 Description: Once the handseals are performed, Mirai must attain physical contact with the target. Once this is accomplished the technique may be activated by once again performing the two handseals. The seal activates, causing the opponent to see through the eyes of the user and vice versa. This causes great confusion to those who choose to still use their eyes. With Mirai’s training without eyesight however, she may use this technique to gain the upper hand on an opponent. Weakness:Don’t allow the seal to exist. ==================== Name of Technique: Senpō: Mizaru, Kikazaru, Iwazaru (Sage Art: See no Evil, Hear no Evil, Speak no Evil) Type of Jutsu: Genjutsu, Senjutsu Rank: A Range: One Target Nature Type: N/A Handseals: 3, Senpō: Saru wa Miru Saru ga Yaru, must be active. Description: This technique is one of Mirai’s greatest, yet most taxing assets. As it is powered by Senjutsu, it cannot be seen through with a Dojutsu. Once the Senpō: Saru wa Miru Saru ga Yaru seal has been used on an enemy, Mirai can perform 3 more handseals to enhance the technique even further turning the seal into the Senpō: Mizaru, Kikazaru, Iwazaru seal resembling three monkeys, one shielding their eyes, one shielding their ears and one shielding their mouth. Mirai can then activate each seal either one at a time or all at the same time to limit the use of the sense each seal represents. For example, using one seal will take up about a quarter of Mirai’s chakra but will disallow the opponent’s sight. Using two seals will take up half of Mirai’s chakra and disallow sight and sound. Using three seals will take up three quarters of Mirai’s chakra and disallow sight sound and speech. Weakness:This can only be used on one target at a time and is very chakra consuming, thusly more than one opponent being present will render this technique too much of a risk to use. It also requires a great deal of set up involving a whole technique to be used first, which in itself requires physical contact. ====================
