Shinji believes in freedom and the idea of people having their freedom. Shinji is a defensive character usually reluctant to start the fight or fight aggressively unless provoked. [u][b]History[/b][/u]: Shinji was born and raised into the Kuboshi clan which prided on teaching their offspring the basics of battle and help shape and create natural born leaders to be candidates for future leadership. Basic training was a mixed aerobic and anaerobic workout. Protective ninja ware and other personal protection equipment were used during initial training. Scenarios were created to train personnel for situations typically encountered in on missions or in time of war. Training scenarios taught students to ignore distractions. Other training methods were used to increase realism which included blindfolding or exercising trainees to near exhaustion before dealing with a simulated attack, as well as training outdoors on a variety of surfaces and restrictive situations. Training also covered situational awareness to develop an understanding of one's surroundings and potentially threatening circumstances before an attack occurs. It also covered ways to deal with potentially violent situations, and physical and verbal methods to avoid violence whenever possible. If anyone child had failed to meet expectations they were exempted from further training, this form of teaching was used to teach the unique fighting style of the Kuboshi and learn which children possessed the Kuboshi signature bloodline. After the children grew older they were taught to master their clan's bloodline which was the Kinsen'i. Most of the children had no clue what the bloodline was or if they had even activated it. Situations were made to test the ability to use the Kinsen'i such as breaking of their surroundings such as trees or bricks to focus on the development of the fat twitch muscles, short twitch muscles were focused on by running from village to village to work on endurance. At the end of each testing phase students would be physically exhausted and had little to no rest before the next day of training began. After graduating from his clan's academy Shinji looked to further his skills in the Konoha Ninja Academy. Shinji started off as a genin like any other child, but kids made fun of Shinji for focusing on Taijutsu since they thought it was worthless and just flashy. Shinji didn't care his free spirit allowed him to focus on making himself better rather than let other people's opinions affect him, so he continued to progress in his academics and in combat. It was then that Shinji was introduced to his team, he was part of Team 8 which was headed by his master known as Shiro Hyuga once of the most trusted and powerful Hyuga in the village who was head of the Main Branch. Shinji quickly adored his master and made Shiro his role model and made his long term goal to be just like Shiro his priority. Shinji was the only other ninja in the group who used Taijutsu so he quickly bonded with Shiro and practiced with him every chance he could. However during a tragic mission with team 8 Shinji had been ambushed by a few bounty hunters from the neighboring village, their master seemed to fend them off, but without sacrificing himself to save the rest. Shinji was the only one left alive his other two comrades had fallen in combat and was already cold before he could do anything. Helpless Shinji found himself at his master’s side in a pool of blood before his Sensei spoke his last words. Before his death Shiro left behind Shinji his prime student a gift, and that gift was his very own Byakugan. From then on Shinji carried his sensei’s words and his special eye as a bond that would last forever beyond the distant realms of the living and the dead. By now Shinji was 17 and had grown into a man and had a father son relationship with his Sensei, they went on countless missions and trained every hour of the day. The chunin exams had been rapidly arriving and Shinji would have to participate, yet he wasn't scared he couldn't wait to face the challenge so he could be one step closer to his Sensei. ========================================= [b][u]Weapons/Items[/u][/b][u][/u]: [spoiler] [b][s]Name of Weapon or Item:[/s][/b] [b][s]Description:[/s][/b] [b][s]Appearance:[/b][/s][/spoiler] ========================================= [b][u]Kekkei Genkai[/u][/b]: [b]Name of Kekkei Genkai:[/b] Byakugan [b]Clan:[/b] Hyuga [b]Rank:[/b] N/A [b]Description:[/b] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Byakugan]Byakugan[/url] [b]Name of Kekkei Genkai:[/b] [b]Clan:[/b] [b]Rank:[/b] [b]Description:[/b] This Kekkei Genkai is unique to the Kobushi Clan, this bloodline is extremely devoted to increasing the physical prowess of the user allowing to pass human capability. This bloodline allows for the user to increase the muscle fiber within oneself to extreme lengths. Kinsen'i focuses on the equilibrium of Slow twitch and Fast twitch muscles fibers instead of only focusing on one. Slow twitch fibers are used to increase the endurance, long durations of time, and core muscles groups of the user allowing them to increase his stamina levels and withstand long drawn out battles. Slow twitch fibers also produce energy which can be used to refuel chakra reserves through the process of oxidative phosphorylation which is fueled by oxygen in the blood vessels. Kinsen'i can also increase Fast twitch muscle fibers which are used for power, strength, and speed. This allows for the user to move at incredible speeds and punch with great force. The time it usually takes to build the fiber in his muscles is every two posts, and can sustain the fiber for 5-10 posts depending on its power. After constant use the fibers in the body rip and the user becomes heavily fatigue with a buildup of lactic acid. ========================================= [b][u]Jutsu[/u][/b]: [hider=Canon Jutsu] [URL="http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Leaf_Gale"]Leaf Gale[/URL] [URL="http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Leaf_Rock-Destroying_Rise"]Leaf Rock-Destroying Rise[/URL] [URL="http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Leaf_Strong_Whirlwind"]Leaf Strong Whirlwind (Not Yet Achieved)[/URL] [URL="http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Leaf_Whirlwind"]Leaf Whirlwind[/URL] [URL="http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Shadow_of_the_Dancing_Leaf"]Shadow of the Dancing Leaf[/URL] [URL="http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Eight_Trigrams_Palms_Revolving_Heaven"]Revovling Heaven[/URL] [URL="http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Eight_Trigrams_Sixty-Four_Palms"]64 palms[/URL] [URL="http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Gentle_Fist"]Gentle Fist[/URL] However he only has one eye.

The Kyoboken or Brutal Fist serves a much deadlier purpose, its philosophy emphasizes on threat neutralization, simultaneous defensive and offensive maneuvers, and aggression. More specifically, The Kyoboken focuses on Targeting attacks to the body's most vulnerable points such as the eyes, jaw, throat, groin, knee, bones, nose, ears, and the kidneys. Kyoboken involves striking techniques, wrestling and grappling, mostly known for its extremely efficient and brutal counter-attacks. This is a defensive fighting technique utilized to keep the user safe and incapacitate the opponent by any means necessary. It is also useful by allowing the user to maintain awareness of surroundings while dealing with the threat in order to look for escape routes, further attackers, objects that could be used to defend or help attack and so on. [b]Weakness:[/b] It’s a fighting style. ==================== [b]Name of Technique:[/b] X-Sen Byakugan [b]Type of Jutsu:[/b] Doujutsu [b]Rank:[/b] C [b]Range:[/b] 15 Feet [b]Nature Type:[/b] N/A [b]Description:[/b] Shinji's Byakugan is much more different then a Hyuga, abnormal amongst most. The unique quality to his Byakugan is it doesn't focus on chakra points it focuses on the opponents bones. His Byakugan is like that of an X-Ray allowing him the user's eye to penetrate through flesh to see bone. This is quite useful to him as he can use this in synchronization with Kyoboken (Brutal fist) and can target certain bones that upon breaking would cause internal damage. [b]Weakness:[/b] Can only target one person. [/hider]
