History:
- Niji Sakezuki was born to an incredibly simple family. Her mother nor father never dreamed or imagined becoming a shinobi or anything that would ever entail such a line of work. However, when the young female was able to see the world for what it was, she found that her passion lay in the thoughts and ideas of helping others and becoming something more than just a simple civilian. Well, she had gotten so much more than what she bargained for. Working her way through the Academy, she was not the best student and most of the time she would struggle throughout the expanse of the classes. She was clunky, uncoordinated, and more times than not, she would fail the tests administered to her. However, with incredible determination and willpower, she would push herself through that hellish stage despite people calling her an idiot or claiming that she was unskilled at the things presented to her.
The unfortunate part was that she understood everything that was presented towards her. It was just that she was stuck in her own little and strange circle. A part of the world that was unmarred by other presences than her own. It seemed as though everything around her was going in super motion and it was something that she was not able to control. Finally, by the very skin of her teeth, she had graduated from the Academy and she was able to call herself a Genin, despite being an incredibly low-tier one at that. It was not until her third mission that all of the mockery that had been placed on her plate had been forced away harshly. It was not a fun mission that they had to go on, but it was they had been the only team that was able to be dispatched on the mission. They had to pursue a rogue shinobi from the village, bring him back, and that was that. It was no overly strong Shinobi, either.
On this mission, the team had been split up, leaving each member of the group alone. Naturally, Sakezuki was a point of worry on this mission, but the fear was something that drove the young girl into action. Within the heavily wooded forest, she stumbled and looked for the objective of the mission. Now, it wouldn't be a story to tell if she had not managed to stumble upon the objective, but the opponent had been ready to strike far, far before she could have imagined. So thus, weapons would whiz past her body and cut into her flesh, but it was the trigger that she needed. The trigger to what, though? Through her anger and willingness to keep herself alive, it felt as though time itself had sped up from it's once abysmal pace. She was able to perceive so much more than what she had previously. So thus, with a kunai flying in her direction, it would almost seem as though she had plucked it from mid air only to hurl it back at the fleeing shinobi, burying it deep within his knee and incapacitating him for the duration until her team was able to find her.
This was the beginning of her finding out that she was a Temporal Strider, and the beginning for her to become an ANBU. Though her perception of time was still messed up and on occasion the changes of pace would make her sick, she pushed through and got over the awkwardness that once plagued her. Working through her Chuunin-leveled years, she worked on herself and turned herself into the image of a shinobi. It took nearly four years of intensive training and hard work, but she had effectively dispelled her awkwardness and gained a control on the perceptions that she held upon time. With skillful usage of her core ability, she used it in conjunction with her ANBU and Hunting skills to become a shinobi within her prime and prowess.
It took years, but finally she had done it and she had grown up into a powerful shinobi. However, there were temptations for more, so much more in her life. So thus, when an opportunity presented itself, she took up on becoming a Dark Sage, thus altering her life permanently and turning her into the very shinobi she is today. With her body riddled with tattoos and other modifications, it is truly a wonder how she is still the very same person that she had been in the past.
