Nindo: "A chain is only as strong as its weakest link." Personality: Shusaku's fashion style and personality are polar opposites, often shocking others upon a first impression when they find out that he is actually a nice guy. Behind the ripped jeans, multiple piercings, and badass bomber jackets, is just a down to earth kid who wants to be the best man for others, that he never had in his own life. He has a devil-may-care charm that has a tendency to inspire, and while he appears to be somewhat naïve, it is simply a façade for his clever, whimsical side. Shu seeks to bring out the best in others and himself; to be proud of who you are and to claim your own life, no matter the circumstances. He's a bruiser by nature regardless of his friendly persona, due to the necessity to learn to protect oneself (and others), as well as being a fanatic of martial arts.

Strengths: • Shusaku is quite charismatic. He is everyone's number one cheerleader, and is capable of inspiring through his pragmatism and compassion. • Unwavering tenacity and quick wit.
Weaknesses: • Can be overzealous, and is easily provoked into recklessness. • Has somewhat of a savior complex. On this same note, is quite stubborn about accepting/requesting help from others when its necessary. • While it is something deemed as 'natural' for the shinobi profession he has taken up, Shusaku couldn't bring himself to kill anyone.
Fears: • Stagnation; It is a fate worse than death. One must keep moving, growing, and learning. • Shusaku is known to take on the 'protector and provider' role for his comrades. He doesn't want to be the cause of someone close to him becoming endangered. • He fears the day that he may be left with no other choice but to take someone else's life. To think about what such an experience must be like for the first time, frightens him.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬┤|н ι ѕ т σ r у|├▬ Shusaku's father left him and his mother at the age of three. She was forced to raise him on her own, and provide for the two of them as best as she could, with the small income she was bringing in working at the flower shop. Growing up, he learned the values of working hard and helping others - especially his mother, by helping her cook, clean, and maintain the flower shop. When he was enrolled into the Academy, Shusaku was inspired by his sensei to be the best he could be. The man was almost like a father figure to him, and Shusaku absorbed his lessons like a sponge. Graduating the Academy, Shusaku aspired to become a great Shinobi, and to provide his mother with a better life, in thanks for raising him properly.

Fuuinjutsu wasn't the first thing he had in mind when it came to training, but it did have a connection with projectiles - so it made it interesting enough to learn. With a simple application of chakra, Shusaku was able to create fuuin symbols on his wrists that could store his projectiles for him. A simple tap was all it took to withdraw them, and would save up on the limited space he had in his pouches for sure. [ Uchiha Art: Lightning Seal ]
The Uchiha clan certainly had a thing for projectiles, which might explain part of Shusaku's fascination with them. He had a pretty decent aim, and got plenty of practice at his mother's job throwing rocks through the broken window across the road when he had free time. It took a couple of tries for Shu to attach the wire to the shuriken properly, but he eventually got it down. He practiced throwing the single shuriken with the wire attached ahead of him, pulling on the string whenever he wanted to change the projectile's trajectory. The shuriken never really curved at the desired angle he wanted, as if he wasn't adding enough oomph to it. Incorporating more of his wrist alongside the controlling finger, he was able to get a better understanding of how his movements controlled the trajectory of the projectile. [ Uchiha Art: Manipulated Shuriken Technique ]
Being able to move quickly was a common feat among Shinobi, whether it was through physical capability or an application of chakra. Shunshin provided such an alternative through the latter method, allowing quick advances or retreating in a matter of a split second. It also allowed one to travel great distances in a relatively short amount of time. For such a low level technique, many ninja in history's past have been recognized for their mastery of the technique. Through their own unique adaptations and implementations of it, that put them above the rest. Shusaku had no intention on mastering it to that degree; simply understanding its application and being able to use it was enough for him. For the first few tries, it took some time getting adjusted to the speed at which he was moving. After the initial experience of vertigo was passed, he was able to use it moving in different directions at a short distance. Then he was eventually able to use the technique as efficiently as someone of his caliber should be able to use it, thus learning it appropriately. [ Body Flicker Technique ]
Shusaku was excited to learn his very first Katon technique. Since his time in the Academy, he has become aware that he had a natural affinity for it. He learned the basic techniques of the element quite quickly, and was able to use them relatively well. Fire was a wild element, but learning to control it and respect the element for the destructive power it potentially contained, it could be tamed. Due to the Uchiha blood that flowed through his veins, this element was also apart of him in a way. To seize control of it, and achieve mastery of the fire element was something he was born to do. The Great Fireball technique was a staple among the clan members, used as a rites of passage for fledgling members to test their aptitude for the fire element. Once he learned this technique, he'd be considered a "full-fledged Uchiha". Shusaku was determined to learn it, forming a single hand seal to prepare his chakra, instead of the usual series required. The chakra welled up within his gut in the form of a semi-intense heat, rising up into his lungs as in inhaled deeply. With the expulsion of breath, came a stream of fire, building into a semi-large ball of flames at its end. Shusaku did not stop exhaling, instead focusing on the chakra his was already controlling to make it bigger. A new surge of chakra came with this focus, making the fireball nearly half a size larger than it was previously. [ Great Fireball Technique ]

Things were looking up for Shusaku so far. He was officially a Genin, that he received his headband! The first thing he did was go show it off to his mother. He had intentions on catching up with that Fenrir guy, but priorities needed to be taken care of first. As usual, she was busy at work, so she insisted that he go practice his ninja skills until she was off of the clock. Shusaku headed towards the back of the store, using the small clearing in the forest that surrounded it to practice throwing his shuriken. The young Uchiha had taken a liking to the projectile weapon; it made him feel like one of the ninjas in the action movies he enjoyed watching. Star Power: A Kunoichi's Revenge was all about a young ninja girl hunting down a gang who killed her father. Her primary weapon? Shuriken! Her aim was deadly and precise; she never missed her mark. It was this that inspired Shusaku to pick up shuriken as his ranged weapon, in hopes to achieve that same level of precision one day. Placing a bunch of targets was a simple task, using his newfound shinobi abilities to place them in odd locations and different heights. He now stood in the center of it all, and quickly tossed a shuriken forward to the first target positioned in the center of the trunk of a tree.
Thunk! The sound was satisfying, but upon a closer inspection, Shusaku realized he hadn't hit the target at all, embedding the shuriken into the trunk instead. What!? But how? He was looking right at it! He took a moment to ponder how something like this could happen. Was it the way he tossed it? The composition of a shuriken allowed for quite a few different throwing methods. He'd first practice throwing them vertically, the initial motions being rehearsed without a weapon in hand at all. Once he had the muscle memory down to a degree, all that was left to do was apply it with the weapons in hand. Picking up a shuriken, he brought shuriken up to the side of his face/neck, and aimed for the target ahead. Shusaku didn't plan on missing this time, and when he was ready, he threw the shuriken forward, releasing the moment it was aligned with the target. This time the shuriken hit the target - only it was far to the left of the bullseye he intended to hit. Hm. The young Uchiha pursed his lips, studying the target for a brief moment. He wasn't frustrated (yet), but perhaps he expected to much of himself too soon, and it was starting to get to him. Shusaku wasn't going to back down, he and his mother's life depending on his success as a Shinobi. The only way to improve, was to keep trying, and that's exactly what he was going to do.
A couple of vertical throws later, and he was starting to feel it in his elbow. The style of throw wasn't bad, but he'd be lying if he said it wasn't the most comfortable for him. That was the whole point of this practice. To get comfortable throwing these things, and hit bullseyes with ease like Sango Hirahoshi from Star Power: A Kunoichi's Revenge! Of course now that he was out of shuriken, he had to go out and recollect all of the ones he tossed. Starting with the ones on the ground were the easiest - and the most embarrassing to pick up. He caught himself beginning to count just how many of his shuriken had failed to stick into the target, reminding himself that eventually he'd improve. After that the shuriken within the targets were retrieved and he returned to his starting place at the center of all the targets surrounding him. Alright. On to the horizontal throw then... He hoped that he'd have better success with this one. That would give him something cool to show off to his mom - and Fenrir too! That is, if throwing shuriken was even something he considered to be cool. Aiming at the target straight ahead, Shusaku took another shuriken between his fingers and gave it a toss. The motion felt more natural to him before he even released the weapon and for some reason, he just knew this was going to be it. Thunk Bullseye.
[ Shuriken Formless: D & C Rank Training ] [ Mission: Target Practice - Complete (x10) ]
"Right on!" Finally, a bullseye! Shusaku had to keep this momentum going; he was one bullseye closer to being as skilled as the Kunoichi from one of his favorite movies. He picked up two shuriken this time, wanting to perform a cool trick shot. His eyes were steady on the target ahead, and he motioned his arm to the side of his torso when- "Ugh, again!? I can't believe this!" A thunderous voice boomed from behind Shusaku, nearly scaring him out of his shorts despite knowing who that voice belonged to. It was his mom's boss, Mr. Daiyuri. The elderly man had been running the flower shop since it was abandoned, and his mother was lucky that he was looking for help when he did. Otherwise the two of them might be living on the streets right now. Shusaku quickly gathered his shuriken and ran back to the shop, watching Mr. Daiyuri spit vulgar words one after the other. "H-Hey, Mr. Daiyuri! Is everything alright?" He kept his distance from the raging man. He may have been old, but boy did this guy have a temper. "...Am I okay?" His raging stopped suddenly as he slowly turned to Shusaku, who felt their heart suddenly leap into their chest. "Do I look okay to you?" It was clearly a hypothetical question, but Shusaku replied anyhow. "N-Naw, not really. You look an-" The bucket that was in the old man's hand went crashing into the ground, interrupting Shusaku. Or perhaps, shutting him up. "Those damn youngsters marked up the outside of my shop with their graffiti bullshit. AGAIN."
"Oh... Again? I-I don't know how they would have gotten around here this time. I mean. I - uh, I was out here, t-this time. There's no way they could've -"
"Just clean it up, Shusaku. When I get my hands on those damn delinquents..." Mr. Daiyuri mumbled as he headed back into his shop, slamming the door hard enough to make Shusaku flinch. "Well... so much for practicing my shinobi skills." Maybe he should have practiced at the Academy instead. Though, it wasn't a bad thing that he had come here. Chances are, this would've happened regardless, and then his mother would be stuck cleaning up this mess, on top of all the other work she was doing. At the very least, she wouldn't be late getting home for dinner tonight. Just keep thinking about the positive, Shu. He reminded himself, smiling as he picked up the bucket that Mr. Daiyuri had thrown, filling it up with water and soap. Grabbing a scrub brush, he headed over to one side of the build and began cleaning. Normally, graffiti consisted of funny doodles and stuff, but the stuff Shusaku was witnessing on this wall, was far from just any regular drawing. In big letters across the wall was spelled 'LOST BOYZ', with an upside down triangle inside of the letter 'O' as if it were some kind of symbol. The colors used were most reds, black, and white, with lots of imagery of what Shusaku assumed to be blood. "Who the heck would draw some creepy stuff like this?" He asked aloud. Shusaku was starting to get some really bad vibes about this stuff.
Better start getting rid of it. Taking another dip of the scrub brush into the soapy water, he decided he'd start at one corner and make his way across. There was no telling how long this stuff had been out here, but it was mighty difficult to clean off. Shusaku found himself working over smaller areas multiple times before he could even see the exterior again. Mr. Daiyuri came out sometime later to give the kid a sandwich and something to drink, which he eagerly accepted as he hadn't ate since he left this morning to meet the Hokage. The soapy water was no longer soapy, and started to take on a murky black color from all the paint he was cleaning off. He still had plenty more of the 'artwork' to clean off, so his best bet was to empty the bucket now and start fresh. Once the new bucket of soap and water was retrieved, Shusaku quickly got back to work. The sooner he could finish this, the sooner he could race back to the Academy and do some exciting ninja things. Or rogue things, perhaps. Fenrir had made quite an impression despite not having formally met. He was cool and mysterious; that was enough to grab Shusaku's attention. Even though he had taken a break just moments ago, he could feel the burn in his arms and shoulders as he scrubbed the exterior of the building. He wanted to put in his best work for Mr. Daiyuri and his mom, so the slight discomfort didn't bother him all that much. Besides, he had been through much worse, as a practitioner of the martial arts. It took some time, but the exterior was finally cleaned up, looking good as new, if not slightly better if Shusaku had a say in it.
He was on his way to tell Mr. Daiyuri about his completed work when he heard the sound of spray cans on the other side of the fence. "It has to look good. Don't you want to get noticed by him?" Who were they talking about? Shusaku curiously peered through the cracks within the fence, trying to get a good visual on whoever was on the other side. He could still hear the sound of spray cans going, and two figures cloaked in black. The image they were creating was partially made out within the cracks, and it resembled the 'art' that he had just finished cleaning up. So those must be the dudes behind the graffiti. Now Shusaku was having a bit of a dilemma: he could report the Mr. Daiyuri about the fools who were vandalizing his property, or confront them himself. The young Uchiha wasn't much of a snitch, and he was curious about the art they were making. He didn't want to ruin any potential success to be had if they were in fact artists, but maybe persuading them to leave the flower shop out of their chosen canvas would delay Mr. Daiyuri's inevitable heart attack. Kicking off the wall, he landed on the top of the fence peering down at the cloaked artists from above. His balance was exceptional for someone of his age, and the Uchiha could only chalk it up to his diligence martial arts practice. "Hey guys. Got a moment to chat?" The two cloaked figures stopped spraying to partially turn back towards Shu who sat above them, the one to his right responding. "What the hell do you want? Don't you see that we are busy making art in reverence of our lord?" So they were artists - in a way. Shusaku wasn't too keen on all of the religious stuff going on, but that was beside the point.
Leaping down from the fence to their side, Shusaku held his hands out disarmingly, sporting the friendliest smile he could muster. "That's perfectly fine. I'd just like you guys to leave the flower shop untouched for the sake of my boss. He's not too happy about it, y'know. I won't be either if I have to keep comin' back out here to clean it!" He chuckled, "So whaddaya say? Is that cool with you guys?" His hands fell to his side, part of him expecting them to agree, given his first impression. "No. ******** off." As soon as they responded, the turned back to their project, pretty much dismissing him altogether after that. "Look, I'm trying to be nice here. I don't want to have to go to the authorities or anyth-"
"Oh, you're not telling anyone. Told you to ******** off, and you're still here." The cloaked figure to his right spoke again, then turned to the one on the left, nodding back towards Shusaku. The left cloak figure rose to their feet, appearing much larger than they had kneeling down, turning to face Shusaku. He towered over the young Uchiha by at least a foot, starting to approach him with obvious ill intent. "Woah, woah! Alright, there's no need to get violent here." It was too late for persuasion now, as the man grabbed Shu by his shoulders and shoved him back into the fence. Shusaku's body slammed into the fence with a loud thud, putting a dent in it, with the cloaked man coming back at him with punch aimed for his gut before he could get his bearings. Shu braced himself for the punch, throwing any elbow into the man's head as the punch connected, to give himself time to take proper footing while his opponent stumbled from the blow. "Don't let that brat get away. He's counting on you." The obvious leader of the two spoke up, now leaned up against the abandoned building they were vandalizing, clearly enjoying the show. Shusaku sized the leader up, a little disappointed that he wasn't fighting instead. They chose to send the bigger guy after him, which only made Shu think that he must've been some nerd incapable of fighting on his own. Shusaku took a basic fighter's stance as he faced the slightly larger man who was now fully recovered. As much as he didn't want to fight these guys, he still loved the thrill of brawls. "Are you sure you wanna do this?" He'd warn the duo one final time. After this, there'd be no holding back on his end.
The only reply from either of them came from his opponent charging ahead, ramming his body into Shusaku's and diving into the pile of rubble behind them. His back collided with a wooden plank that snapped under their weight, dust accumulating around the two fighters as sounds of crackling debris filled the air. A fist collided into the Uchiha's face from the right, and then two more blows into his ribs while he tried to catch the breath that had been knocked out of him during their collision. The guy was certainly much stronger and faster than he expected, his size only benefitting his blows by making any attempted defense on Shu's part nearly meaningless. His chance came when large delinquent drew their fist back to sock him square in the face, giving Shusaku a small window of time to react. He quickly reached over for a rock and launched it into the guy's face causing him to reel back. That shuriken training came in handy after all! His knees rose up to his chest, driving his legs forward with all of his might, kicking the brute off of him with both feet. This effectively knocked them off balance, but for how long, he was unsure. At the very least he was able to get himself out of the pile of rubble and dust himself off. Looks like I'm gonna need to come up with a new dance if I'm gonna tango with this guy... Shusaku could very well take a beating just as good as he could dish one out. The cloaked brute's punches were hitting like freight trucks, and he knew that he was only going to be able to take a few more of those before he ended up succumbing to their effects.
His attacking style was very straight forward; somewhat predictable even, if the young Uchiha would just settle down and focus. "What are you doing, you big idiot!? Are you gonna let this pipsqueak make a fool out of you, or what?" The smaller, cloaked leader called out from the sidelines once again. If this was their way of providing support to their comrade, then they were surely useless in a one on one confrontation. They were better off shutting their mouths and minding their business. The larger of the two was finally on his feet again, allowing his leader's mocking words to get to him as he popped his neck and dusted off his chest were Shusaku's feet had imprinted themselves. The cloak was suddenly torn off, revealing a heavily muscular guy who could have only been a little bit older than Shu himself. Long, dark brown hair, an eyepatch over his right eye, and various tattoos down both of his arms. Holy cow, this dude is yoked! Shusaku couldn't believe what he was witnessing. The guy had practically achieved the peak of muscular aestheticism, with every single muscle in his body being toned and defined beyond what Shu had ever seen before. It would have been hot, had he no need to worry about being beaten into a pulp if he didn't pull himself together. "Alright, tough guy... Show ya moves!" Shusaku's stance was different this time around, feet spread slightly facing towards his opponent, arms extended and palms open. His dominant hand was close to his body, with the other in the lead, which he used to beckon the brute forward with a wave of his fingers.
Shusaku was ready this time, no more slip ups from here on out. The brute charged forward just as he had anticipated, throwing all of his might into a leaping punch aimed for his head. Shusaku extended his non-dominant hand to meet his fist, torqueing his hips to redirect the attack off to the side. Whether the brute stuck his landing or not after the fact, Shu continued with that momentum, throwing a side kick into the middle of their back, preventing them from regaining their balance right away. At the most it caused him to stumble forward a little more from Shu's perspective; he wasn't even sure how much that kick had affected him from the back if he was to be completely honest. It did however, enrage him, as he turned to face Shu with a murderous glint in his eyes. Shusaku made the first move this time, closing in the gap between them and delivering a three punch combo. The first one came fast, and surprisingly for his liver instead of his face. It connected, forcing his body to lurch forward, opening the target for his next two punches. Both launched for their head, one after the other, but only making contact with the brutes forearms as he quickly brought them up to defend himself. The guy was fast, Shusaku had to give him that, but Shu was smarter. A knee rose with impressive speed, slipping through their guard and smashing into their nose. The first time hearing anything from him came in the form of a howling cry as he clutched his face in pain. Bullseye! Shusaku grinned, adrenaline pulsing through him like a wildfire. He was enjoying every bit of this: the pain he was inflicting, the pain he was receiving; the thrill of a good brawl!
"Useless! Do I have to do everything myself!?" The leader clearly wasn't happy with his lackey's performance. Likewise, Shu wasn't pleased with the leader's choice of combat. This nerd had the guts to pull a knife out on him! It wasn't your average everyday knife, either. The blade was pitch black with a curved edge. Down the side of the blade were strange inscriptions that Shusaku wasn't able to make out. He didn't know what kind of weird stuff this guy was on, nor did he want to find out. There was no telling what could happen if he was even grazed by that ominous-looking knife. The leader was able to make Shusaku eat some of his own words, much to his surprise, as he approached with impressive speed, swiping the knife at him aggressively. A couple steps back in response was enough to avoid the initial attack, however the leader wasn't finished. At the end of their swipe, the grip was reversed, performing a hook to extend their reach; knuckles aided by the small extension of a blade's edge. There was no room to back up anymore without falling into the rubble behind him, so with the little time he had to make a decisive action, he ducked. Fwhip! The bladed hand sailed overhead, Shu rolling forward and getting back on his feet so that he was now positioned behind the armed assailant. "You little weasel..." They growled, seething with anger. Like, what did he expect Shusaku to do? Eagerly accept some fist fight while they wielded a knife? The boy had a tendency to be reckless, but he wasn't stupid. Staying on the evasive was the only real chance he had at not becoming a ninja-kabob on the spot.
The leader whipped around, charging with their knife, harboring a clear intent to kill, or at least seriously injure Shusaku. He was starting to think that running to the authorities might have been a good idea after all. By no means was he out of his league here, both of these goons were around his skill level surely. But his nosiness got him into this situation, and had he not had even a small ounce of the fighting experience he had, who knows what would have happened to him. His mother was literally on the other side of the gate, probably unaware that her son was engaged in a 2 on 1 (deathmatch?) stock match, where some tryhard nerd decided that the only way they were going to win was by bringing some overpowered tool into play. Through all the adrenaline and the excitement, this was the first time Shusaku considered that he could actually get seriously injured - or worse - if he wasn't careful. I've got to end this. Now. The knife was drawing closer to his body. Shusaku moved immediately to the side of the striking arm, extending one foot to upset his balance while said arm was taken into his control. In time with the leader's sudden fall, his arm would be pinned behind his back, inflicting enough pain to force the knife to be released. Shusaku placed the rest of his weight on top of him to prevent too much struggle, using his free hand to shove the leader's face into the ground. "I don't appreciate being threatened. Leave the flower shop out of your artsy shenanigans or-"
"They're over there! Next to that abandoned building!" A small girl's voice cried out, and from the corner of the building two Shinobi from the police force had arrived, followed by a small, redheaded girl. "Those guys are fighting! I heard them from across the street. Hey! Those are the two ghosts I saw drawing on daddy's house!" Shusaku tilted his head looking at the girl, and then back at the cloaked nerd he had pinned to the ground. These must have been the ghosts she was referring to. The two shinobi police would step forward, "And what of you, kid?" One of the policemen spoke, looking down at Shusaku with an intense gaze. "... These guys vandalized Mr. Daiyuri's flower shop. I was just trying to get them to leave it alone... Sir." He looked up to both policemen, keeping his hold on the cloaked individual. From behind, a small commotion occurred, where a third shinobi police officer apprehended the brute. "We'll take it from here. Are you hurt?" Releasing the man, Shu stood on his two feet, checking himself over. His body ached, and his face hurt. Likely a couple of bruises here and there, but nothing too serious he figured. "Nah. I'm all good. They were a piece of cake!" He winked, giving the policemen a thumbs up. Cuffs clicked, and Shusaku initially was going to head back to the flower shop as casually as possible, until he had a thought. Crap. I can't go back like this. Mom will freak! So instead he left to go get himself patched up elsewhere.

Nindo: "A recipe has no soul. As a cook, you must bring the soul to the recipe!" Personality: A girl who is frantically searching for the perfect balance between her passion as an aspiring chef, and her duty to the village as a shinobi. Hikaru unfortunately did not inherit the calm and levelheadedness of her Hakemoto ancestors, lacking in self-confidence and is often exhibiting anxious behavior. The responsibilities and expectations of her shinobi career weigh down upon her, and is likely the cause of her stress. Cooking has been an "escape" for her, alongside a passion, where she has felt more comfortable expressing her talents. She enjoys sharing her food with people and getting input, but is very (very) sensitive about feedback. Hikaru can be quite the talkative person when she's around others, and is extremely clumsy outside of the kitchen.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬┤|н ι ѕ т σ r у|├▬ Hikaru lived a relatively normal life with her parents in Takumi City. Her father was a well known chef, and she grew up learning all that she could about cooking from him. This developed into a passion, with a dream to become the greatest chef in the shinobi world. Her mother was a retired monk, and upon discovering that her daughter possessed Hakemoto blood, Hikaru was encouraged to join the Academy. For years she hesitated, not particularly interested in becoming a shinobi. She instead focused solely on her cooking talent, working at various restaurants in Takumi with the goal of eventually owning her own someday. On Hikaru's fifteenth birthday, a meeting was called with her mother's side of the family: The Hakemoto Clan. They did not agree with Hikaru's decision to keep her Hakemoto powers dormant, insisting that she be trained to awaken them. Either she'd be trained personally by one of the monks, or be relocated to a village where she could enroll into the academy. Knowing that if she trained with the monks, she'd have little time to pursue her cooking passion, she reluctantly chose the Academy route.
Two years later, she finally graduated. It was awkward enough having to participate in class with a bunch of classmates much younger than her, but her scores were nothing great to speak of. Hikaru was just looking forward to getting back into improving her cooking talent at this point.
