The Toraono Clan had largely taken up the duties of Sunagakure's now all but non-existent ANBU. Quietly and with steady training former ANBU Captain now Border Sennin Kuro had begun training select individuals to become the new ANBU and police arm of Sunagakure. Although Kuro had great hopes for a newfound scion of Takahashi lineage he had no intentions of forcing the mantle of armored police upon him. Sharingan Kuro the embodiment and repository of Kuro's ANBU knowledge was now training Nanashi, a young lady of obvious but already abused potential. Kuro however was used to dealing with women after a lifetime or 3 in a maternally dominated household. He was also well versed in healing the psychic wounds of life and the hardships that came from shinobi life. Kuro's heart would always be aligned to help others even though the actions of the Cabal had hardened him to far more brutal and life taking patterns underneath the mass of pain, torment, regret, duty, honor, and constant racial bias now visibly and verbally thrown about since the last remaining Sennin had to take all the blame for the Cabal even being able to attack Sunagakure he carried own with a grim resolution and now lesser seen smile.
The Oushi Ouja family within the Toraono Clan were natural powerhouses, capable of feats of strength that few in any land could ever hope to accomplish. They are Kindred of Ox-King: a portion of the Toraono Clan descended from the blood of one of the demon beast Kings the Oushi-ouja or Ox King whom was actually defeated and absorbed by Hyakujuuonouu, the King of demon beasts and cousin of the celestial white tiger Byakko. Those whom show traits of descent from this line are known to be born larger than most babies. Many are born with special chakra seal crests upon their foreheads, chests, abdomens or backs. As they grow older many begin to show off their inhuman strength and tend to be taller than most people from any land. The tallest of these warriors to date actually tapered off at eight feet by the time of her twenty third birthday. The males of this lineage occasionally grow ox like horns, sometimes the women do as well but that is very rare. Many are also able to master innate jutsu that allow them to turn into giants. They tend to be born with full heads of black, blue, or brown hair with large brown, blue, or -rare- jade green eyes. These warriors are able to use taijutsu that combines their great strength and massive size to level mountains, and forests. Master Nabushin is the current leader of House Oushi-Ouja. At eight feet in height, broad chested, kind, and strong, Nabushin resembled a man that had been made from a bull, even his shoulders were so thick, that he seemed to have no neck. A spark of jade green lightning would occasionally leap from either of his horns. He normally strode about Suna in a black and brown battle gi slightly ragged at the shoulder and at the base of his calves from years of training and use. His jade green eyes are always humble and calm. He tended to work in the quarries and the mines despite his massive size and today was no different.
Working with him was a massive warrior that was even in height but heavily clad in armor. Even though this warrior had a neck his silver hair and violet eyes showed he was from the main family of the Toraono Clan and he wore the mantle of leadership and guardian well. He was not directly in charge however 'Kyojin Kuro' as the workers knew him represented the Sennin Toraono Kuro and was known to be Toraono Kuro's body guard and able assistant. As assistant foreman his job was to keep everyone at the quarry safe while Master Nabushin kept everyone within steady work hours and duties. Today alone Kyojin Kuro had saved three workers when a slab of rock dislodged and threatened a cave in. Before the man could even cry for help he found himself next to Master Nabushin and Kyojin Kuro actually catching the slab of earth and holding it in place till a team could brace or remove it. Many remembered their harrowing escape from the Cabal's explosives and Kyojin Kuro actually maintaining a titan form so long that he was imprisoned in carmot and nearly died keeping the tunnel open. He lost the ability that others of the Oushi Ouja family claimed but his shin-shun jutsu which allowed him near instantaneous movement to assist those in need within his sight or hearing or bearing a special seal crested paper which all whom worked in the quarry were ordered to carry for their safety and to be able to track and locate them in case of a cave in or land slide allowed him to be just as valuable or more an asset than before. He was rarely seen without his armor but those whom had seen him with his helmet removed knew he was somehow related to Toraono Kaibudo. Some speculated that he was a child from an outside affair but even if he was Lady Azame accepted Kyojin like one of her own children and even that made the possible scandal and love they shared all the more real. With vigilant violet eyes, silver white hair, and skin dark as night Kyojin Kuro stood at the ready. As he and Master Nabushin waited for more volunteers to arrive to help dig up more ore and stone necessary for the construction of a village above ground. Project Rebirth was underway...
