Name: Inuzuka Sonoto Akira
Age: 10
Gender: Male
IC Rank: Academy Student
Bloodline: Inuzuka
OOC Rank: D
Weight: 31kg
Height: 4'5"
General Description: A young boy with messy blonde hair, Akira is somewhat of an oddity among his family; his parents both having brown hair and dark eyes. He stands at about 4'5" and has a very slender build which contributes to his agility allowing him to move quite fluidly and gracefully. Moreover, he gives priority to his ninja training with his father, making sure to exercise and practice his punching and kicking several times a day to keep his body on form. Typically he dresses in a black shirt and dark green shorts, preferring to wear slightly baggy and open clothing to keep cool.
In terms of his personality, Akira is fun-loving and fairly energetic and places an importance on having a strong group of friends. He keeps a chill, positive attitude and is generally an optimist. Despite his outgoing nature, he does value his alone time and often needs it to recharge. Akira does not consider himself to be much of a strategist per se, but he is still highly intelligent all the same and thoroughly thinks out his plans before taking a course of action.
History: Akira was born in the Konoha, the son of a former ANBU captain and a florist. Growing up, Akira didn’t see a great deal of his father around the home; before retirement, he was a highly skilled ninja and headed the capture of several sought-after S-Rank criminals. Akira’s mother had to divide up her time a fair bit to both look after her son and her business. Akira was put to work in the shop fairly early, helping his mother with arranging the flowers and keeping the place clean. Akira's family also took care of many pets; they had several nin-dogs, most of which had formally aided Akira's father on his missions and fought alongside him - it was definitely something that fascinated Akira, but more so that his father appeared to share such an intense bond with their nin-dogs.
Fortunately, Akira’s father was able to give him adequate training now that he was retired. The young shinobi learned how to be light on his fight and how to effectively punch and kick without opening himself up to attack. Light sparring sessions followed every breakfast early in the morning and also took place shortly before dinner in the evening. Being skilled in the art of Taijutsu was a main priority while he was first training because it allowed Akira to gain an appreciation for the shinobi art and the catharsis that came from a good fight.
For the most part, Akira’s childhood was fairly isolated; he didn’t make too many friends around the village and his parents were always extremely protective of him no matter how much he protested for more freedom. In fact, until it came time to join the academy, he was pretty much shut in at home or thrown fully into work which kept him quite disciplined and focused. However, it was more a case that his parents needed to take the time to learn how to let their son go a little more, wanting to hold onto him while they could before he fully thrust himself into study and training at the academy at age 9. Even though he was now learning how to develop his shinobi skills, there were still secrets being kept from him by his parents, in particular, his strange lineage.
To Be Continued…
[spoilername="Right now"]For the most part, Akira’s lineage remained a mystery to him. He was his father’s son and that’s all he ever really thought of it, and becoming a shinobi was simply his destiny and he trusted his father to help him fulfil it. As a former ANBU captain, the young shinobi always looked up to him and aspired to follow in his footsteps and become powerful and respected in the same way. Akira would always listen to his father telling him about the times he was captain and would help defend the village as best he could along with his loyal ninken partner, Aomaru, at his side. Their family took care of several dogs who had lived with them for many years, in fact, growing up, they treated little Akira like a little puppy, apart of their pack; he’d play outside with them for hours, rolling about in the grass, and they’d guide him around the forests, keeping him safe while teaching him about the natural world. But it was something he couldn’t explain, much like his father had this mysterious bond with his ninken, so did Akira have with them too; passers-by would give him weird looks and passed it off as childish play, but he could understand what Aomaru said to him, and often listened to him explain things, teaching him about nature and about the shinobi way which he himself was well-versed with. The big canine was very protective of little Akira much like his father which only made him more eager to get himself into trouble.
’Silly little pup,' Aomaru murmured, his voice gruff and authoritative as he watched a 5 year-old Akira playing in the mud and grass. The boy laughed and giggled at his protector’s words, poking his tongue out at the old dog who didn’t seem incredibly pleased. His father always trusted Aomaru to keep Akira safe but he could never stop the boy from making an absolute mess of himself unfortunately, and such was the way of the world. At least the little pup was having fun and slowly tiring himself out.
’Come on, let’s get you home, puppy,’ the old dog smirked, lifting the little one out of the mud by his arm and plopping him on the grass next to him, his clothes stained brown by now from copious amounts of grass and dirt.
"But I wanted to keep playing!" The boy whined and sulked in defeat. Aomaru barely said anything, simply shaking his head and leading the way from the woods and back to the house. It was starting to get dark after all and it probably wasn’t the best idea to be camped out in the woods late at night.
"Aomaru," Akira’s father was standing outside, waiting for them as the pair slowly crawled back to the house, "I see little Akira couldn’t help himself," he remarked, giving a light chuckle as he lifted his son into his arms, taking him inside for a bath before his mother saw the state of him. Aomaru trailed behind and stretched out his legs as he stepped through the door, ready to take a well-deserved rest.
’He’s certainly a pawful if you ask me…’
Just over two years later several other pups arrived. A litter of about three of them were suddenly running about the house before Akira’s father could get a handle on them. It seemed Aomaru had his paws full too, keeping them under control as best he could while making sure they got plenty of exercise from playing outside, something which Akira was encouraged to join in with as well. One of them, a cream-furred Shiba puppy seemed remarkably like Akira in many ways; both of them would play around the mud together and were often getting lost while chasing butterflies and rabbits. Naturally, Aomaru had to keep gathering them up but the little Shiba and shinobi were always together and one in the same, getting lost together and getting upset together when they were scolded by the old dog for running off. As the two began to grow together, they became close friends, completely inseparable just like Aomaru and his master. Growing up, they were barely ever seen apart; two little puppies sharing the same spirit and the same dreams and aspirations. A bond was forged and nothing was going to stop them as they would grow stronger and closer together, day by day.
"It’s time for teamwork to be incorporated into your training Akira."
"Teamwork? What do you mean?" The young shinobi asked curiously, giving a small head-tilt in confusion.
"Your destiny, both of you," the man said, gesturing to the young Shiba, "the fact that you and Shiromaru have formed such a close bond is a clear sign to me that you’re ready to learn the secrets of what our family is capable of."
Akira simply gave a bemused look, looking down beside him at Shiromau, the Shiba puppy who was eagerly awaiting instruction from his new master while energetically wagging his tail about.
"We form such tight-knit bonds with our canine allies that we began to act as they do, even look as they do. Those claws and teeth of yours will make for deadly weapons in the real world and that sensitive nose will be a vital tool as they have been for me." Akira had already begun to inherit a bestial appearance from his father and mother, traits which made them all look savage and vicious, though Akira’s personality was becoming more and more intense as he grew up; he became hyperactive and could hardly sit still, at the same time he was becoming more excitable and energetic. After all, the Inuzuka were certainly known for their courage and fiery attitude, especially on the field of battle where it would probably matter the most.
"Not only do we share traits from our canine allies, but they too share traits and take after us. Our ninken are far more intelligent than the average pet and can intelligently communicate with us without any kind of difficulty." That was why Aomaru was more like a parental figure to Akira than just a family pet, though his speech ability seemed rather unusual; he was capable of understanding what Shiromaru was saying to him, but it was more a fact that they could speak the same language in a way - his barks, growls, cries, and whimpers were sort of translated in a way inside of his head and likewise for Shiromaru being able to understand him perfectly.
"All of our family members share this bond with their ninken - your aunties and uncles, Akira. We are born to the Inuzuka clan and now you’re ready to learn about your birthright; how to use such a strong bond in battle to protect your home and your fellow villagers from danger."
Shiromaru let out an excited growl and so did Akira; the two were ready to train with Akira’s father and learn about all of the magnificent things they’d be capable of achieving together. This was going to be but the start of a long and fruitful brotherhood with both of them striving to ultimately prove themselves to the world.[/spoilername]

[spoilername="Inuzuka"][fontsize="12"]It is said that the Inuzuka are descendants from canines themselves in ages long past, though this may simply be a legend sprouted within the clan's days as nomads. The Inuzuka is a clan originating in the Land of Fire, dating back before the formation of any shinobi villages as a nomadic clan that lived in the wilderness together with their canine companions. Though some of the more primitive like qualities and habitats of the clan have been substituted for a more humane lifestyle, the clan itself has never separated, or even weakened it's bonds with their canine kin, and view their canine's as family members, even as close as siblings rather than simple pets. Few possess such strong attachment and loyalty that can compare to the bond of an Inuzuka and their counterpart, and fewer still can stand to this perfect combination in battle.

Canine Companion - Passive<i></i>
Perhaps the most distinguishable aspect of the Inuzuka clan is the fact that they seem to have an unbreakable bond with a companion that is far more than your average pet. Their companion is is bonded so close to the Inuzuka, and the Inuzuka to it that the two could be said to be two halves of a whole, or even share a soul.

There is little stronger than the kinship felt between a canine and it's pack, and so too does this apply to the incredibly deep loyalty an Inuzuka feel's with their companions.

---
Wolf Visage - Passive<i></i>
Just as their canine companion seems to be far more than your average pet, seeming to possess human-level intelligence, so too does the Inuzuka seem to lean towards a more Animalistic instinct, possessing razor sharp claws in place of frail nails, and sharp canine teeth, as well as a more beast-like personality.

---
Air Dynamic Marking - Pet Jutsu<i></i>
Though both the Inuzuka and their companion possess a sharpen sense of smell, this creative technique seems to take advantage of their sense by the canine spraying and "Marking" a target with urine, allowing them to track them far more clearly than even by sight. The Urine itself, however, possesses a slightly acidic quality that can sting on contact, but even so it is an amusing to witness a canine perform this technique. How they manage such a feat in the middle of an acrobatic maneuver is unknown to even those with shinobi dexterity, however.
Rank 1: Urinates upon a unfortunate target, dealing 250 Damage.
Rank 2: Urinates upon a unfortunate target, dealing 500 Damage.
Rank 3: Urinates upon a unfortunate target, dealing 750 Damage.

Even though he was now learning how to develop his shinobi skills, there were still secrets being kept from him by his parents, in particular, his strange lineage.
To Be Continued…
[spoilername="Right now"]For the most part, Akira’s lineage remained a mystery to him. He was his father’s son and that’s all he ever really thought of it, and becoming a shinobi was simply his destiny and he trusted his father to help him fulfil it. As a former ANBU captain, the young shinobi always looked up to him and aspired to follow in his footsteps and become powerful and respected in the same way. Akira would always listen to his father telling him about the times he was captain and would help defend the village as best he could along with his loyal ninken partner, Aomaru, at his side. Their family took care of several dogs who had lived with them for many years, in fact, growing up, they treated little Akira like a little puppy, apart of their pack; he’d play outside with them for hours, rolling about in the grass, and they’d guide him around the forests, keeping him safe while teaching him about the natural world. But it was something he couldn’t explain, much like his father had this mysterious bond with his ninken, so did Akira have with them too; passers-by would give him weird looks and passed it off as childish play, but he could understand what Aomaru said to him, and often listened to him explain things, teaching him about nature and about the shinobi way which he himself was well-versed with. The big canine was very protective of little Akira much like his father which only made him more eager to get himself into trouble.
’Silly little pup,' Aomaru murmured, his voice gruff and authoritative as he watched a 5 year-old Akira playing in the mud and grass. The boy laughed and giggled at his protector’s words, poking his tongue out at the old dog who didn’t seem incredibly pleased. His father always trusted Aomaru to keep Akira safe but he could never stop the boy from making an absolute mess of himself unfortunately, and such was the way of the world. At least the little pup was having fun and slowly tiring himself out.
’Come on, let’s get you home, puppy,’ the old dog smirked, lifting the little one out of the mud by his arm and plopping him on the grass next to him, his clothes stained brown by now from copious amounts of grass and dirt.
"But I wanted to keep playing!" The boy whined and sulked in defeat. Aomaru barely said anything, simply shaking his head and leading the way from the woods and back to the house. It was starting to get dark after all and it probably wasn’t the best idea to be camped out in the woods late at night.
"Aomaru," Akira’s father was standing outside, waiting for them as the pair slowly crawled back to the house, "I see little Akira couldn’t help himself," he remarked, giving a light chuckle as he lifted his son into his arms, taking him inside for a bath before his mother saw the state of him. Aomaru trailed behind and stretched out his legs as he stepped through the door, ready to take a well-deserved rest.
’He’s certainly a pawful if you ask me…’
⁂
Just over two years later several other pups arrived. A litter of about three of them were suddenly running about the house before Akira’s father could get a handle on them. It seemed Aomaru had his paws full too, keeping them under control as best he could while making sure they got plenty of exercise from playing outside, something which Akira was encouraged to join in with as well. One of them, a cream-furred Shiba puppy seemed remarkably like Akira in many ways; both of them would play around the mud together and were often getting lost while chasing butterflies and rabbits. Naturally, Aomaru had to keep gathering them up but the little Shiba and shinobi were always together and one in the same, getting lost together and getting upset together when they were scolded by the old dog for running off. As the two began to grow together, they became close friends, completely inseparable just like Aomaru and his master. Growing up, they were barely ever seen apart; two little puppies sharing the same spirit and the same dreams and aspirations. A bond was forged and nothing was going to stop them as they would grow stronger and closer together, day by day.
"It’s time for teamwork to be incorporated into your training Akira."
"Teamwork? What do you mean?" The young shinobi asked curiously, giving a small head-tilt in confusion.
"Your destiny, both of you," the man said, gesturing to the young Shiba, "the fact that you and Shiromaru have formed such a close bond is a clear sign to me that you’re ready to learn the secrets of what our family is capable of."
Akira simply gave a bemused look, looking down beside him at Shiromau, the Shiba puppy who was eagerly awaiting instruction from his new master while energetically wagging his tail about.
"We form such tight-knit bonds with our canine allies that we began to act as they do, even look as they do. Those claws and teeth of yours will make for deadly weapons in the real world and that sensitive nose will be a vital tool as they have been for me." Akira had already begun to inherit a bestial appearance from his father and mother, traits which made them all look savage and vicious, though Akira’s personality was becoming more and more intense as he grew up; he became hyperactive and could hardly sit still, at the same time he was becoming more excitable and energetic. After all, the Inuzuka were certainly known for their courage and fiery attitude, especially on the field of battle where it would probably matter the most.
"Not only do we share traits from our canine allies, but they too share traits and take after us. Our ninken are far more intelligent than the average pet and can intelligently communicate with us without any kind of difficulty." That was why Aomaru was more like a parental figure to Akira than just a family pet, though his speech ability seemed rather unusual; he was capable of understanding what Shiromaru was saying to him, but it was more a fact that they could speak the same language in a way - his barks, growls, cries, and whimpers were sort of translated in a way inside of his head and likewise for Shiromaru being able to understand him perfectly.
"All of our family members share this bond with their ninken - your aunties and uncles, Akira. We are born to the Inuzuka clan and now you’re ready to learn about your birthright; how to use such a strong bond in battle to protect your home and your fellow villagers from danger."
Shiromaru let out an excited growl and so did Akira; the two were ready to train with Akira’s father and learn about all of the magnificent things they’d be capable of achieving together. This was going to be but the start of a long and fruitful brotherhood with both of them striving to ultimately prove themselves to the world.[/spoilername]

[spoilername="Inuzuka"][fontsize="12"]It is said that the Inuzuka are descendants from canines themselves in ages long past, though this may simply be a legend sprouted within the clan's days as nomads. The Inuzuka is a clan originating in the Land of Fire, dating back before the formation of any shinobi villages as a nomadic clan that lived in the wilderness together with their canine companions. Though some of the more primitive like qualities and habitats of the clan have been substituted for a more humane lifestyle, the clan itself has never separated, or even weakened it's bonds with their canine kin, and view their canine's as family members, even as close as siblings rather than simple pets. Few possess such strong attachment and loyalty that can compare to the bond of an Inuzuka and their counterpart, and fewer still can stand to this perfect combination in battle.

Canine Companion - Passive<i></i>
Perhaps the most distinguishable aspect of the Inuzuka clan is the fact that they seem to have an unbreakable bond with a companion that is far more than your average pet. Their companion is is bonded so close to the Inuzuka, and the Inuzuka to it that the two could be said to be two halves of a whole, or even share a soul. Whichever the case, the Inuzuka and their pet are inseparable, and can perfectly understand and communicate with each other even through the most complex words/barks, to the simplest body gestures..

There is little stronger than the kinship felt between a canine and it's pack, and so too does this apply to the incredibly deep loyalty an Inuzuka feel's with their companions.

---
Wolf Visage - Passive<i></i>
Just as their canine companion seems to be far more than your average pet, seeming to possess human-level intelligence, so too does the Inuzuka seem to lean towards a more Animalistic instinct, possessing razor sharp claws in place of frail nails, and sharp canine teeth, as well as a more beast-like personality.
Rank 1: Unarmed Attack's gain +5% Damage.

Air Dynamic Marking - Pet Jutsu<i></i>
Though both the Inuzuka and their companion possess a sharpen sense of smell, this creative technique seems to take advantage of their sense by the canine spraying and "Marking" a target with urine, allowing them to track them far more clearly than even by sight. The Urine itself, however, possesses a slightly acidic quality that can sting on contact, but even so it is an amusing to witness a canine perform this technique. How they manage such a feat in the middle of an acrobatic maneuver is unknown to even those with shinobi dexterity, however.
Rank 1: Urinates upon a unfortunate target, dealing 250 Damage.
Rank 2: Urinates upon a unfortunate target, dealing 500 Damage.
Rank 3: Urinates upon a unfortunate target, dealing 750 Damage.
