Nobushige partly does this due to injuries, and partly to keep what his face looks like a secret. [B][U]History:[/U][/B] Born during a particularly bloody conflict between the Kanagata and the Akechi clans what would later become the Land of Lightning. The Toyotomi family was a well known merchant family, but eventually became easy targets for robbery by ninja as they were so well known. Nobushige's father, Nobunaga, was always worried about having enough money to get by, and didn't know how to get over the problem. In the end, the family would travel in disguise from place to place. They would play anything from pilgrims to the circus to get through the country undisturbed. It was still a dangerous lifestyle. Nobushige as a child was always playing around, and had a strange obsession with history that came from his mother reading to him every night of great events of the age. He said he wanted to do something important, and get into the history books himselves. The Akechi were disturbed by the sudden disappearance of the Toyotomi merchandise (and funds). They feared they had joined the Kanagata's cause, as many alliances were forming across the land. As the Toyotomi family crossed the border back from the Land of Fire, the Akechi clan found them. They immediately believed they had been involved in contrabanding messages to the Uchiha clan, and they attacked the 'circus troop'. Nobushige was only 13 when this happened. As fire burned from the supplies, Nobushige ran crying into the woods. As the sun set, he returned to see what had happened. Many members of the caravan had been killed. He couldn't find his parents anywhere. One of the other merchants took him in, and gave him a home. Nobushige couldn't let it go though. He remembered the name Akechi, and their clan symbol every day of his life. He began to study ninjutsu. Most ninja learned ninjutsu at childhood, but Nobushige was picking it up as a teenager. He obsessed about the Akechi clan. The merchant who had taken him in, Hideyoshi, was a kind man, but not neccessarily the best role model. He drank, alot. While he wasn't violent, he had constant bad company over while drinking. Nobushige spent 2 years studying at the house, in ninjutsu, and taboo subjects. History of coups, assassinations, famous upheavels, all things he found important. He travelled north, and became a servant boy... for the Akechi. He worked household chores for the clan. He was noted for his discipline, and ability to do work quickly and efficiently. He became a favorite of the clan head, Mitsuhide. He was in constant competition with another household servant, who looked down on Nobushige for constantly updoing him. Nobushige learned the layout of the entire compound, then after 2 more years, Nobushige struck, killing the great man in his sleep. Nobushige rose early the next day, and had the servant he had been having a feud with, to get meat from the butcher. The other servant protested, but Nobushige convinced him in the end by paying him to do it so Nobushige wouldn't have to. Screams filled the house as they discovered Mitsuhide's body. They scrambled to find who would have done it. They found the servant Nobushige had sent out missing, and with blood on him, and blamed him for the act. Nobushige stayed right where he was, unsuspected of his crimes. The Kanagata attacked the next week. Before they arrived, Nobushige struck at the heir to the clan, Katsuie. Without any leadership, the clan faultered, and their household burned, and they were erased from history. Nobushige however, offered his services to the Kanagata, then fled as soon as he was accepted. Nobushige retreated to a nearby town, and spent the next few years focusing on the ninjutsu he had played with as a child. He became good at it, very good. Nobushige was angry still, even after secretly having helped destroy the Akechi clan. He channeled that and his ninjutsu into a new career. He became a notorios assassin for hire under the name 'Izanami's Assassin.' He was known for quickly dispatching his targets without being flashy. He started earning more money than he knew what to do with, and spent it much the same way his uncle did, with bad company, with many women, and with a new hobby he picked up, buying historical artifacts. Izanami's Assassin would later join the Hidden Cloud Village when it formed. He recognized its power, and was tempted to attack the Raikage, but decided something important was happening. Something historical. He approached the Raikage (uninvited), and offered his service. The act left him with several scars however, as the Raikage did not like to be 'approached', or 'threatened'. Nobushige continued his work for the Cloud, working ruthlessly to eliminate targets. He was sent to the neighboring country of the Stone, to pick off as many targets as he could. He met someone who would change his life there, a woman by the name of Noh Uesugi. She was a beautiful medic nin he met stalking the Stone nin. The only problem was she was a stone nin too. And she was the biggest foe he had ever met. Not because she blew his cover, or that she could fight, but she could heal. Target after target was brought back from the brink of death. Nobushige picked her as his next target. Taking the place of a Stone nin he had dispatched (and the various pieces of him in the river ensured he wasn't getting healed), he got close to the woman. He got to know his target, to laugh with her, and he began to feel something. He didn't know what, and it frustrated him to no end. He determined to carry it out that night. He found her alone in the maze of stones that night. He approached her from behind and raised his kunai above her. He saw from the look of fear in her eyes that she was unprepared. He willed himself to stab, but he couldn't do it. It was the first time he'd ever been unable to kill his target due to him not being willing. Nobushige threw the kunai away, confusing her more, and he blew his own cover. He told her everything, that he was 'Izanami's assassin'. He offered his services to her village, and followed her back to the Stone. The mad kage, though relunctantly, accepted his offer. The Tsuchikage, however, always has tabs on Nobushige when he is in town, and warned him repeatedly what would happen if a stone nin should fall to Izanami. The Cloud did not take kindly however to losing their assassin, and still have an offer of 12 million Ryo for his head. [B][U]Personality:[/U][/B] Generally Nobushige is a vice-ridden ass. Their are only two things Nobushige takes seriously: work and history. He is very arrogant about his abilities, and doesn't play nice with others. He plays everything else like a game, including his own life. The amount of games he plays with others tends to be annoying. It's in part because he figures it's the only way he can enjoy having them around, by messing with them mercilessly mentally. Noh is the one exception, as he is captivated by her beauty, and he treats her like a princess. For all of Nobushige's vices, his redeeming trait is how dedicated he is. If he truly commits himself to something, hell itself can't stop him from doing it.

The clones have a very real fleshy body, and bleed. The advantage of this jutsu is it can frame others as murders, or allow a ninja to believe he has killed a real ninja. [B]Weakness:[/B] Many. The jutsu takes a long time to prepare, making it useless in actual battle. In addition, the bodies left behind are no more durable than a regular clone, and when hit too hard, simply die. The bodies are not perfect either, and a doctor can tell them apart. The clone bodies only last a day at max. It also has all the weakness clone jutsu bring. In addition, the jutsu is fairly taxing on Nobushige. ==================== [B]Name of Technique:[/B] Mind of Zhuge Liang [B]Type of Jutsu:[/B] Supplimentary [B]Rank:[/B] A [B]Range:[/B] Self [B]Nature Type:[/B] N/A [B]Handseals:[/B] N/A [B]Description:[/B] Increasing the chakra flow to the brain, the user increases their ability to calculate trajectory, allowing them inhuman accurracy, even under extreme condition [B]Weakness:[/B] Long use of this technique creates great mental strain, creating migraines.

The other trick to this is that it makes wounds seem superficial that are much deeper, causing opponents to misjudge the extent of their injuries. [B]Weakness:[/B] Nothing more than creating a prettier crimescene. ==================== [B]Name of Technique:[/B] Paper Jutsu: Guided Path [B]Type of Jutsu:[/B] Offensive Shurikenjutsu [B]Rank:[/B] B [B]Range:[/B] Mid to Long [B]Nature Type:[/B] N/A [B]Handseals:[/B] 3 [B]Description:[/B] By guiding chakra at the top of a piece of paper, Nobushige is able to guide it through the air at an opponent. The path of the paper generally loops through the air guided only by the top of the paper, making it very hard to hit. The paper once infused automatically seeks out chakra signatures of the direction it is launched in. [B]Weakness:[/B] Fire jutsu is very good at making this jutsu not so good. Wide area attacks in general. ALso someone surpressing their chakra gives this jutsu no target. [/hider]
