[hider=Uzumaki Ren, originally Henry Cook] [b]Name:[/b] Uzumaki Ren/Henry Cook [b]Titles:[/b] Sage of Cranes (Future Ambition) [b]Gender:[/b] Male. [b]Age:[/b] 0 [b]Affiliation:[/b] Hidden Grass Village, Land of Grass, Uzumaki Clan. [b]Physical Description:[/b] [url=https://imgchest.com/p/a846aad5o7x][img]https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/my2pc3eva97.png[/img][/url] [b]Personality:[/b] Henry/Ren did not like Karin as a character; having her as a slightly older sister changed that. As for their shared mother, Henry is determined to save her from her death by overwork or die trying; no one deserves to be put through what she had been through. After all, she knew that she had sponteanously conceived him without forewarning or announcement; a literal gift from the Kami. And that was their little secret; a bond that he was certain would grow as they grew up. Not just that, but should she die anyway, he was going to take care of Karin and stop her from falling in love with someone who won't love her back anyway. But for now was the painstaking task of trying to get this village to see them as more than just... Healing dispensers? Human medkits? Or even worse, slaves? It didn't matter; he was going to stop his new mother from dying and force Kusakagure to acknowledge him. Otherwise, he had options, he had theoretical knowledge that he had memorized intently. And even if it meant derailing the canonical plot, he was going to forge a place for [i]his family[/i]... And woe betide those who stand in his way. [b]Short Biography:[/b] Henry Cook saw Naruto when the Anime was first coming out; he thought it was good at first, then it turned bad quickly, in his opinion, thanks to filler and ass pulls. Then he switched to [i]real[/i] History, which eventually got him an Associate's Degree in the Humanities that proved to be useless except that it allowed him to begin writing his own Webcomic that won enough Patreon donations for him to keep himself alive. He also wrote parodies of Naruto Fanfiction and read the latter as well, while keeping up with developments in Naruto Shippuden, then Boruto. He was going to be one of those rare things: A nerd who could afford his lifestyle without his parents supporting him, and who also kept physically fit due to being able to afford a gym membership. Then, on the way to the gym to celebrate his 30th Birthday and his inching toward financial stability, his dreams ended when he was hit by a truck; a cliche he wanted to mock in his last moments of consciousness. Life After Death was no consolation. Reincarnation into a world that he knew from head to toe yet stopped liking a long time ago was a sticking point as well. Nevertheless, Henry preferred to live, and so he was reborn as a baby in the house in Kusakagure, the Village Hidden in the Grass, as the younger brother of one Karin and just like her, a full-blooded member of the Uzumaki Clan. However, one of the very first words he was able to register was some random ninja that his mother was taking care of complaining about Konoha's 'Civilian Council', an organization that should not exist at this point outside of Fanon; the Village Council only came to being after the Sound/Sand Invasion of Konoha in the Anime. Something was off, but right now, he had a mother to save from overwork. Who knows? If the Civilian Council is benign, he could use them. If they were as evil as Fanon made them out to be, he can use that too. And if the worst case scenario occurs and this is a Naruto in Name Only universe... He had a secret weapon to direct against those who regarded himself as his family's 'owners'... [b]Inventory:[/b] [list] [*]0 [/list] [b]Skills:[/b] [list] [*]Mundane History and Economics.
