[I][U]Birthplace:[/U][/I] The Deserts of the Land of Wind [B][U]Organization:[/U][/B] Clan head of the Monzaemon [B][U]Clan/Kekkei Genkai (or hiden):[/U][/B] Puppetry [B][U]Rank:[/U][/B] S [U][I]Position:[/I][/U] Clan Head [B][U]Chakra Nature:[/U][/B] Water; Earth [I][U]Additional Appearance Details:[/U][/I] Height: 6'5 Weight: 220 lbs [B][U]History:[/U][/B] From an early age, Uemura observed the customs in his clan, taking in everything he saw. He was arrogant, and proud of his skills he'd acquired with puppetry, making every effort to focus on the make-up of his puppets, declaring they were his pride. He was the apple in his parents' eyes, though he often felt bad for his brother, Kawatake, who he had a deep bond with. One day, he heard of a mission where the Monzaemon clan was meeting to declare a truce with the Akechi clan in a nearby town. They were declared too dangerous to leave as is, and the clan head saw less casualties if they declared a truce. Uemura had grown up believing the Monzaemon was the best, but he'd never seen another clan. He was curious. He decided he was going to sneak along, and he hid inside his father's puppet as he left. Midway through the journey, his father found him, and chewed him out for being a fool, explaining how dangerous what he had done was. Uemura didn't understand how a meeting to declare a truce could be dangerous. He laughed, and pointed out how strong the Monzaemon were, and how good his puppets were, that his father had helped make him. His father was less than pleased, but let young Uemura come. The calling a truce was a ruse, and in its place was an ambush. Uemura saw it as a chance to trounce the other clan, but they were outnumbered. A battlefield was not a place for a mere boy. His puppets worked out perfectly, but the other clan was expecting to fight puppets, and went straight for the puppeteer, him. His [i]perfect[/i] puppets were completely useless without a competent puppetteer. As a shinobi came straight at him, he screamed in fear, before another a shadow jumped inbetween. His father saved him from that, telling him to hide, that he was a hinderance if he couldn't defend himself. Uemura noticed several wounds on his father. In the end, the Monzaemon clan defeated the Akechi clan, and in vengence wiped them from the map. However, many Monzaemon clan shinobi were killed in the ambush, Uemura's father being one of them. Uemura was scared as he was brought home. He realized the worth of a puppet was nothing compared to the puppeteer. The immortal masterpieces of his father meant nothing with the mortal man gone. The puppets were trash, and useless if they weren't controlled by someone so easily killed. The battle scarred Uemura, making him hate other clans, and making his philosophy about immortality. He focused on puppeteering techniques, not puppets after that. After Kenshin took control of the clan, Uemura was dismayed to see how he treated other clans. Kenshin was going to destroy the Monzaemon through his integration. Other clans were simply using the truce as a reprieve to reload he believed. He thought of it as spitting on his father's grave, and hated his Uncle. The thought occurred to him that the only way to stop his Uncle was by force, what ruled the world. He consulted with Kawatake who had since become formidable, and the two learned from eachother's styles. In this sparring, he learned his trick to his supposed immortality. He trusted his brother completely, and led the operation while his brother recruited. They staged their coup one month later in what would become history. Uemura expected to assault Kenshin by surprise, but ended up dueling him after he'd been detected. Kawatake sealed the perimeter and attacked the central loyalist to the clan. Kenshin, being a man of honor, did not call for backup, and the two dueled, Kenshin swearing at how dishonorable Uemura was, and how he dishonored his father's memory. Uemura simply responded "You dishonor him." Kenshin's power was real however, said to have been the greatest protegee of the Kabuki branch to have existed.. He snuck past Uemura's puppets, and attacked Uemura directly, striking what should have been a fatal blow to him. Uemura did not die, and merely retreated, his puppets enclosing on Kenshin from every direction. Kenshin fought them all, smashing them to pieces, landing an occassional blow on Uemura who seemed to not mind. In the middle of the conflict, Uemura threw a blade with a chakra string at Kenshin, after the Kabuki fashion, catching him offguard, scratching his cheek. It was not deep, but enough with the poison on it. Kenshin fought like a tiger, destroying all of Uemura's collection, but the poison made him weaker and weaker til he eventually collapsed. Uemura finished him without hesitation. His puppet collection had been destroyed, but he claimed to have been made immortal in it's stead, a better memory than a mere relic. From that battle he recieved the title, The Immortal. Uemura became the clan head, using his name as a weapon as much as anything else. He declared his three edicts, and has been most silent ever since, knowing mystery too was something people feared. When not studying the clan itself, Uemura spends much of his time engaged in research, talking much with Masaru. [B][U]Personality:[/U][/B] Uemura is a person who believes in pragmatism 100%. He does whatever it takes to win, or put his clan in the limelight, and doesn't care for the cost or morals associated. A bit of a recluse, he appears when he feels he's needed. He dislikes flashy displays, and prefers to just get the job done. He's very impatient with things like imcompetence, or people he feels are traitors. Outside of being clan head, Uemura likes to fancy himself as an artist, separating that side of him from his role as leader. He encourages anyone to develop the talents they have, and appreciates innovation. Secretly,he feels a slight remorse that someone with Kawatake's character doesn't have more of an impact on the world, so he delegates many of his responsibilities to him, without explaining himself.

The puppet carries only a pair of sai, and a scroll to summoning his collection. The puppet is unique in its ability to retain chakra on its shell..[/hider] [hider=Combat Data] [B][U]Special Traits[/U][/B] Uemura is well known for two main things, the incredible speed of his puppets, and his reported immortality on the battlefield. His perception, speed, and chakra control are all extremely high. His chakra pool isn't particularly high, neither are his other physical traits. His highest trait is his cunning. Uemura dislikes prolonged fights, and hates sensor nin, as they ruin the advantage of surprise he brings. Uemura is also weak in taijutsu. He is also a gifted Ventriloquist [B]Name of Kekkei Genkai/Hiden/Kekkei Tota:[/B] [B]Clan:[/B] [B]Description:[/B] ========================================= [B][U]Techniques:[/U][/B] [B]Canon Jutsu[/B] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Chakra_Threads]Chakra Threads[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Puppet_Technique]Puppet Technique [/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Puppet_Performance:_Skilful_Achievement_with_a_Human_Body]Puppet Performance: Skillful Achievement with a Human Body [/url]- Very specialized in using this with corpses [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Prepared_Puppet:_Eight_Waves_of_Needles]Prepared Puppet: Eight Waves of Needles[/url]= On his shield puppets [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Hiding_with_Camouflage_Technique]Hiding with Camouflage Technique[/url]: [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Dustless_Bewildering_Cover]Dustless Bewildering Cover[/url] [B]Custom Jutsu[/B] [B]Name of Technique:[/B] Sustain: 1000 notes [B]Type of Jutsu:[/B] Supplementary ninjutsu [B]Rank:[/B] A [B]Range:[/B] Varied [B]Nature Type:[/B] [B]Handseals:[/B] 10 [B]Description:[/B] Uemura's most famous technique, derived from the Chakra Thread Technique. He rapidly makes and breaks thousands of connections a minute with his chakra threads increasing the speed of his puppetry as well as the number of puppets he can command. Rather than have a continous connection, he grabs a part of the puppet, and directs it in a direction, then grabs another part of it, hastening the movements. [B]Weakness:[/B] The lack of a continual connection weakens the strength of the puppets themselves. Due to the speed of his fingers, prolonged use hurts his hands. ==================== [B]Name of Technique:[/B] Wounded Seal [B]Type of Jutsu:[/B] Supplimentary Sealing Jutsu [B]Rank:[/B] D [B]Range:[/B] Close [B]Nature Type:[/B] Water [B]Handseals:[/B] 3 [B]Description:[/B] The user creates a flow of fake blood from a seal that is very realistic in its behavior and make up.

[B]Weakness:[/B] The strings still link back to Uemura, allowing anything that could flow through the strings to hit him as well. Breaking a part of the puppet can jam the technique momentarily as well.[/hider]
