Ninpocho Chronicles
Ninpocho Chronicles is a fantasy-ish setting storyline, set in an alternate universe World of Ninjas, where the Naruto and Boruto series take place. This means that none of the canon characters exists, or existed here.
Each ninja starts from the bottom and start their training as an Academy Student. From there they develop abilities akin to that of demigods as they grow in age and experience.
Along the way they gain new friends (or enemies), take on jobs and complete contracts and missions for their respective villages where their training and skill will be tested to their limits.
The sky is the limit as the blank page you see before you can be filled with countless of adventures with your character in the game.
This is Ninpocho Chronicles.

So have you ever wondered how someone can have a bloodline but then switch to another core set? Don’t you wonder how people can defy the limits set before them? More specifically how in the hell has Masaru Yuuto been able to use Sunaku abilities but then move onto become things such as a Shadow Boxer, Chakra Attuned, Ghost Walker, and Temporal Strider? Please! …. Let me explain.
On the night of Masaru Yuuto’s grandfather’s death something extraordinary happened. His grandfather revealed a third eye and an ability that he had known of before. So in order to explain what Yuuto is, we’ll need to slightly brush up on his current self.
While locked in Prison Yuuto had nothing but time to think and wallow. He wallowed in his sense of justice, hoping that the flames of revolution would fix all this. Then he wallowed some more in the death of Hayata Shin and his direct involvement with some of the problems others had with him.. possibly. In short Yuuto was beating himself up and day by day he fled inward. With the use of Chakra Dampeners he couldn’t really muster up enough energy to do jutsu, maybe the occasional weak chakra ball in your hand but not much more than that. So what did he do to pass the days? Yuuto picked up different hobbies focusing more on those than his work with puppetry or anything else of that nature. For one, he learned how to play a harmonica finding solitude in making noises. He aslso wrote, and boy did he write a lot. Yuuto wrote memoirs, stories, poetry and even music. Yuuto was able to find some type of solitude in these mundane activities. However when his new will became more defined (the will to right his wrongs) he began to focus on resharpening his blade (figurative speech for getting back into fighting form).
In order to restore your skills you have to reattach yourself to your strengths. Or at least that was Yuuto’s philosophy on it. Whenever he delved into a new form of fighting it took time, practice and a lot of failures. However one thing he never seemed to be particularly bad at was controlling his chakra. Controlling your chakra was key in Yuuto’s skills, from his immediate background in puppeteering , Yuu always controlled his chakra on a high level. He stood out amongst his peers for it, and when he became attuned with the power of chakra he was able to be a raw force. So his first step was to regain better control over his chakra. For it was the hardest task he’d have laid out in front of him, was using chakra while being stuck with dampeners. They suppressed the ability to use chakra (not negate it) and it caused pain just to use chakra but it was pain he was willing to go through. Yuuto began with forming energy in his palms and than twisting that energy into shapes. Even though he was dampened it’s hard to actually restrict a human chakra sponges ability to utilize chakra on some scale. While it was small it was good practice, each shape he made required a lot of concentration and energy, and it gave him the most important thing he needed precision. The precision and expertise to fold out a thin strand of chakra and bundle it until you have it coiled around your fingers. Or even turning that ball of chakra into a mold of a person, or even a silhouette.
After months of this simple training he could feel his chakra more, it still wasn’t anything amazing but he could feel his chakra, and small traces of the chakra around him. So what was next after feeling confident with your chakra? Now it was time implement that skill into something else. So do you remember that Yuuto was once a “Shadow Boxer”. He learned how to turn his illusions, his inner demons, into reality onto others. He learned how to take chakra channeling to a new level by channeling genjutsu through his fist. Yet over time he realized that fist fighting wasn’t his specialty, it wasn’t that he was bad at it far from it, but the biggest fact was that his true strength lie in his chakra and its raw potency.
The veteran shinobi stared around his room searching for answers. He grasped his notebooks thinking maybe he could learn how to manipulate paper with his chakra, or how he could possibly utilize his pieces of lead that he used to write. However none of that appealed to him, it had restrictions that wouldn’t suit him in the ideal situations. So he continued to look until he came upon one of his music notebooks. He sat there thinking on it, before dismissing the notebook. It wasn’t until later that night when he did a double take at his book and his harmonica that it became apparent what he could do. See the Yondai taught him how to channel Genjutsu through his fists but they had to teach him extreme chakra control before he could. How to channel his chakra more than anything else. So different examples were brought to him, Shinobi who could cast Genjutsu through their eyes, Shinobi who could use jutsu without handseals, who could make weapons float with chakra, even his own ability to control sand and puppeteer. How did it all work? By using your chakra as a will, as an extension of yourself. The object isn’t what’s important it’s the chakra behind it. So Yuuto began to practice sending his chakra through the harmonica, and making sound through his chakra not his mouth. For the next few years that Yuuto was imprisoned he continued this kind of training, not just with the harmonica but anything. He would graze the walls with his hands making loud noises through echoing his chakra onto the surface. He learned how to send his chakra through areas via sound vibrations, simply off of a theory and a lot of time to practice and perfect the craft. While still not the most adept person when it came to music, the music his chakra could make was more impressive than most of the things he had done. Another fighting style was conceived for Yuuto but it had to beg the question we’ve been wondering since the beginning….
How?
[Cadency Portion Completed]
So now that you know where Yuuto’s at currently in his abilities how does this all play into eachother? On the night of his grandfather’s death what did Roku truly do to Yuuto? What was that ritual and how did that lead to Yuuto gaining the abilities of the Sunaku. Well fear not folks I will explain and I wont do it in half riddles either. This time you gain some insight into the Masaru.
The Masaru Clan are a clan of wanderers, they do not seek and they do not settle. Or at least that’s how they used to live their lives. Back when they were in droves the Masaru had a lot of good going for them. For one thing, they had a naturally stronger chakra pool than others. It was as if Chakra loved some of them, like it gravitated towards that kinship strengthening their abilities. The ability to control chakra was especially prominent in the Masaru kinsmen who were able to open their third eye. I will reiterate that this is not your run of the mill metaphorical third eye, no the Masaru literally grew a third eye on their forehead when one was strong and their abilities were steadily growing. It was a part of their biology except this eye didn’t inherently do something for them like the Hyuuga and the Uchiha. This eye had one function and that is to unlock their potential or push it. Like a vacuum for some reason this third eye assisted in chakra development and growth.
This was not a hidden fact from the clan they knew that a third eye was possible for almost if not everyone in the clan based on their prowess in chakra control and I guess in some form another, luck. However what most did not know is that there was another mutation within the clan. Something far more coveted and sinister. When ones grasp of chakra and their affinity towards it was abnormally high (even for Masaru standards) they would be brought into a secret chamber only the elders knew of which they called, the Chamber of Endo. In this chamber Masaru were tested on their willpower and fortitude. They were trained in the art of absorbing chakra, until the elders felt they were sufficient enough to learn the truth behind their abilities. However this truth did come at the expense of their freedom.
Back in the early days of the Shinobi the ancestral Masaru, the first of the gentle, was a monster on some accounts. A beast within a man’s skin enticing the human heart to turn into that of a twisted creature. Masaru Endo the first recorded Chimera of the Masaru clan was special since birth. He came out of the womb with his third eye open wide and shining. His ability to control chakra was on an entirely different level, he could absorb his enemies abilities and throw them back at them. As time progressed his power grew and he was able to copy entire techniques of other clans just by seeing them do it or battling them. However it wasn’t like the Sharingan of the Uchiha, it was something far more advanced and intriquite. It was as if Endo could open a void in his own body, break the ability down to its purest form (chakra) and absorb it. He could even release the energy in brilliant azure flames (ahhh). However Endo’s biggest recorded trait was his ability to absorb a persons body and take their abilities. Not just a portion but actually absorb the person. Through some kind of ritualized technique he could infect the target with his chakra and then begin converting their body into chakra to be infused with his own body. He was known through the clan as the progenitor of these abilities and since then a select few in the clan mutate to this stage.
Roku was one such child who grew to inherit the power of Endo. His ability to manipulate chakra grew at alarming rates and when he was first trained in the Chamber of Endo they saw that he was definitely going to grow to be one of the brighter. However at some point Roku left the Clan’s wandering dominion and sought refuge in other lands.
Now what does this have to do with Yuuto you are probably wondering? The simple answer… Everything.
Side Information: On the night of Roku’s murder, when the assassins came he knew that they wanted something from him. In order to be candid it’s important that you know that they were after something they dub as the seed. However! that’s for Yuuto’s story at a later date.
So you understand a bit more about the Masaru Clan but do you understand how Yuuto came into this power? The night when Roku died, as he protected Yuuto from the assassins, as he wrote in blood and chakra on his grandsons skin, Roku was preparing him to receive the gift that would give him more power. Roku in his heart knew he would more than likely die there, or he could lose his grandson. While the assassins would kill him if they had a chance, if he served as no threat to them then maybe Yuuto would survive. So he enacted a twisted version of the Chimera ritual. When one absorbs someone’s entire being it takes a good while to take hold (a few days give or take depending on chakra and physical size) however the hardest part is the target being turned into chakra. It takes tremendous focus and precision on live targets who can fight back but if done a target that the user can overpower easily then the process is much smoother and more forceful. Seeing that Yuuto was a small weak child it wasn’t hard to tune into his chakra, however Roku wasn’t absorbing Yuuto he was imparting a gift of power and love. Roku turned his own chakra into fuel for the ritual and gave some of his own essence to Yuuto. Along with it he passed on his seed, the piece of his chakra that allows him be a Chimera, onto his grandson. With this rash action he attempted to give Yuuto the family’s power, the ability to carry on the Masaru Clan’s name but was done on a bet…. A bet that actually worked out. It’s still unclear why it worked on Yuuto, it could be due to them being direct descendants, or maybe Yuuto was bound to become a Chimera all along like his ancestors before him. Regardless of the reason it worked, and Yuuto had gained the ability to use Sand from his grandfather not from being a Sunaku descendant (although that means Roku snatched a Sunaku sooo whose the bad guy? Idk). From the day his grandfather died, Yuuto’s path was born. He just didn’t know it yet.
There were a few complications with this action. For one it completely drained Yuuto and burned him up from the inside damaging his chakra system and causing him to become weakened for a while. He had to go through intense training and therapy to get back up to proper levels. Not to mention the ritual was incomplete. Roku had nearly nowhere near enough time to complete the process, he burned his own chakra system in order to speed up his own version of the ritual and impart his power onto Yuuto.
For Yuuto this meant a slow maturation of his true abilities. Over the decades of his shinobi career, every time he acquired a new core technique, it was due to this mutation. The entire time Yuuto thought it was just his extreme control of chakra but not even that could cause the results he had. From one year being able to control shadows from an unreal perspective to being able to commune with actual ghosts, Masaru Yuuto has always been at one form or another absorbing something. However being that he didn’t know he was naturally absorbing the chakra around him, and it was incomplete it never manifested the way it should lessening the amount of the power he actually grasped.
Now that we know where Yuuto’s power truly comes from, you have to wonder does he? Has he even noticed it yet? Well reader, until a few months ago he thought nothing of it.
One Month After being released from Prison:
Yuuto was back in the real world, but without work. Being that he was a pariah in the shinobi world his place at Anbu was null and void, his space in the Main Branch was shakey if that, and he truly could only find something in the medical field IF they would even take him. So he volunteered to at least help out since it always seemed like the medical branch was understaffed. While they didn’t bring him in as an official med nin he of course still knew the techniques and could offer healing but for the most part he was resigned to caring for sick patients. Something he had no problems with.
One patient in particular caught his heart in a special way. The young Hashigaki girl named Hina was 20 years old but appeared to be a bit younger. She was frail and slender, stuck to a bed or a wheelchair when she traveled so it wouldn’t stress her body much and something was wrong with her throat as she had this raspy sound to her, but she never allowed it to slow her down. Hina was diagnosed with a form of laryngeal cancer, which affect her voicebox making it hard for her to speak sometimes.
When Yuuto started volunteering, he seemed gloomy. While smiling and happy he could help something was missing. Hina would always question him about it prodding him to tell her what he was thinking. The first time they met she said nothing only observed him as he quietly administered her medicine and attended to her. Everyday Yuuto continued like that, barely speaking as he attended to her. Finally Hina broke the silence with an awkward question.
Hina: Don’t I know you?
Yuuto: Yes I come in everday to attend to you.
Hina: No I know you from somewhere else, your voice is too familiar. Hmmm
Yuuto felt nervous, wondering if she was talking about his broadcast to the Cloud Village back when Shin was Raikage.
Hina: You wouldn’t happen to be the nut case who tried to out late Raikage Shin as a traitor to Kumo would you?
Yuuto’s head sunk low.
Yuuto: Yes that would be me..
Hina cocked her head sideways and began to burst out laughing. She pointed and kicked her feet as she laughed at Yuuto to the point tears came down her face.
Hina: Ahahaha Wow to think a crazed criminal is attending to my weakened self, and NOT professing his ideology about justice in Kumogakure.
Yuuto just stares perplexed
Hina: I’m sorry I’m sorry but come on you gotta admit if you were me, and you met someone that tried to start a radical revolution, then maybe just maybe they would be a little more vocal. Not some guy that scowls and skulks about.
Yuuto: What are you ten?
Hina: Aha! There’s your spunk, and no for your information I’m 20. Also not a felon haha
Yuuto: I guess I deserved that much.
The weirdest thing happened that day, as he replied that to Hina, he couldn’t help but laugh with her. For the first time in a long time he had let out a genuine smile, one that wasn’t derived from some twisted place, but simply a warm honest smile built by laughter. Everyday went like that from then on, Yuuto and Hina laughing and joking as he finally had time to connect with another human being. He learned about her favorite candy (Lightning Rocks), learned her favorite number (9 like his), She was afraid of bugs and always would scream for Yuuto to take care of them, even If the bug was magically gone when he got there. He would play her music that could lull her to sleep (Cadency ability) and they brought her peace much like she brought him. The first few months of his release were some of the most pleasant he could hope to have. Like all good things in his tale… it is bound to go South.
Into the third month of volunteering, Yuuto went to work as usual only to find out Hina’s cancer took a turn for the worst. Of course he immediately went to her aid but what he saw truly broke his heart. Hina looked far frailer than before, she lie motionless on a bed, her head wrapped and an oxygen mask attached to her face. Yuuto went to Hina’s side, and stood over her for a while. He watched her sleep for about ten minutes before sighing and turning to the door. At that moment her tiny weak arm grabbed his with so much strength. Yuu turned to see Hina with her eyes barely open.
Hina: Don’t go (she weakly says)
Yuuto: Hey hey, what are you doing you need your rest.
Hina: Please… don’t go…
Yuuto pulled a seat up to her bed and sat down
Yuuto: I’m not going anywhere kid, don’t worry about it.
Hina released her grip and closed her eyes. It was probably about two hours before she opened them once more.
Hina: Yuuto…
Yuuto: Yeah kiddo what’s up, can I get you anything?
Hina: Can I ask you… Why did you go after the Raikage…
Yuuto: Oh... (he pauses for a while) Well I suppose I was bitter. I saw him making decisions in interest of the village but in my mind it was for him to feel more secure as Kage and not for the betterment of his people. I suppose I thought I knew better… so I followed through calling for change and reform.
Hina: So why do you… look so sad all the time…
Yuuto: *Sigh* I guess it’s because… I spent a lot of time thinking about what I did. Was it right? Was it wrong? Did I accomplish anything? In my conclusion, it was a mistake. I spent so much time seeking justice, that I didn’t actually give any out. So.. I guess at the end of the day I didn’t accomplish anything worth while.
Hina: So what will you do… when I die?
Yuuto: Come on you’re not gonna die, you’ll pull through this.
Hina weakly chuckles
Hina: No I won’t Yuuto… I know that… You know that… every doctor here knows that. I don’t have long, maybe some days, maybe some weeks, I hope nothing longer…
Yuuto: Hina..
Hina: No it’s okay… I know now maybe my purpose in this short life was to meet the idiot who … who decided he could change the world without purpose…
Yuuto intently stares at Hina as she reached out. Gripping his hand he listened to her speak.
Hina: No matter what you do… you can’t run from your past… so you have to take it head on and fight. You’re a good guy… you just made dumb decisions. That doesn’t have to be the end for you though… Please Yuuto find your purpose….
As Hina finished speaking Yuuto kissed her hand before resting it back on her. He sat there motionless for the next four hours, only moving to use the bathroom before sitting back down next to Hina. She eventually woke up once more.
Hina: Hey Yuuto… can you play for me?
Yuuto: Of course, anything particular?
Hina: … The Real Folk Blues…
Yuuto began playing Hina the song she loved to hear, one of the first he played for her. In this moment it felt like time was endless. He played the song connecting with her very soul as she lay there smiling at peace. Yuuto probably played that song seventeen times if not more that night, she loved it so much, and he wanted to be sure it was the last thing she heard. As Hina drifted into her final slumber, Yuuto continued to play with tears streaming down his face. When the machine finally went off to alert that her heart had stopped, he simply cut it off.
Yuuto: I won’t let anything else disturb you…
He dropped to his knees crying as he gripped her lifeless cold hand. Hina had passed away leaving behind a void that was neither full nor empty. Then that’s when it happened, the moment that would eternally change Yuuto’s llife. As if by some weird divinity Hina’s body started to glow, Yuuto felt the warm light stepping back as he observed in awe.
If this is where you thought I was going to tell you something of revival you’re sadly mistaken, because the glow that enveloped Hina turned into a burst of azure flames that started to consume her. These flames had runes dancing inside of them as well lacing her body. Yuuto tried to scream but he couldn’t utter a word. For some reason he was completely locked up as well stuck in a stasis of some sort. I couldn’t’ tell you how long it took, as all sense of time became lost in this moment. Hina’s body slowly began to dissipate into the azure flames as if melding with them, and then soon those flames turned into a stream of energy that entered Yuuto. As it invaded his body he saw flashes of images, moments that invoked a warm feeling in his heart. He saw glimpses of people he didn’t know but resided in the Cloud village, he saw Hina standing in front of a mirror, a stage as if he was on it singing to a crowd. Then he saw images of himself, and moments where he smiled and laughed. He felt warmer than before especially when he saw himself play music. It became apparent to him that he was not experiencing his own life but Hina’s. He was seeing and feeling pieces of her life as she flowed into him.
Then it all went dark, and he awoke in a world of darkness with only a stage in the center of it that shone like the moon. On this stage was Hina in a beautiful dress, her hair pulled back, and her beautiful eyes glistening in full luster.
Hina: This is Goodbye Yuuto, I just want you to know I’ve loved every moment we spent together, and you’ve made the end of my life some of the best moments I’ve ever had. I think we were destined to meet eachother so that you could finally find your purpose… [She begins to fade]
Yuuto: Wait Hina don’t go
Hina: I don’t think I have a choice Yuuto, but I’ll always be here [She points at her heart] right here inside
Yuuto: But this purpose, I don’t get it, why did we meet like this?
Hina: Simple silly… to live.
Yuuto snapped back into reality is if being whiplashed from back to front. His eyes were blurry and he couldn’t really make out much. His ears were ringing, he was in a ton of pain. Yuuto writhed on the ground before covering his ears and shutting his eyes hard. He tried to block out the pain but he couldn’t, however this shutting out gave him comfort because when he closed his eyes he could see Hina. Her warm smile is the only thing that caught him, as he once again regained control over his body with tears streaming down his face.
So you may be wondering what happened reader, what exactly happened to Hina and Yuuto? Well Yuuto’s abilities activated as if they were trying to reach out and hold onto Hina.
Inadvertently he began the process of absorbing her being into his own.
Yuuto then experienced her life in broken moments, but none the less he got see and feel her life.
They were able to see eachother again in the Soul Space (remember whenever Sora goes into a weird place in Kingdom Hearts? Think like that room) and converse one last time where she gave him part of her will.
Yuuto waking up with hazy vision and ringing ears are Hina’s Hashigaki traits struggling to manifest, and him closing his eyes was his way of focusing without knowing of course. Seeing Hina was his hearts reminder that she’s always with him now.
This manifestation will take time to develop which Yuuto will of course train it over time.
OOC: So this is the end of my Kinjutsu, Bloodline, and Core Ability Application. To summarize
-Yuuto utilized his history of ability swapping and chakra control to learn how to channel chakra through different mediums starting with his harmonica while he was in prison.
-He has justification for these abilities due to my frequent switching of BL/CA that got approved
-The Chimera is described as a gene mutation within his Clan that he does have much knowledge nor any of this “seed” which will play a major role in his plot.
-Hina, the Hashigaki woman he took care of in the hospital eventually passed in front of him and his chakra reactively reached out to her dwindled life force to enact the ritual to meld her being into his.
-Take note that Cadency happened over the course of a few years, while Chimera has been brewing in Yuuto for a very long time but now is manifesting in full. Yuuto is in his 30s and received the seed when he was 11 so it’s been more or less brewing for 19 years.

Clan Request: I'm gonna be fleshing out the Masaru Clan finally... at a later date lmao.Part One:
“What else will I become….” he quietly grumbles to a headstone. A tanned man with white hair stood in front of a grave, he wore black ensemble fit for those in mourning and carried a gourd of alcohol as well. There were a few items that rested on this grave, a large jar of black sand, a headband with the word “Yuuto!” woven into it, incense and a picture of a young boy and an old man. He sat there for a moment drinking and staring at the grave. His head sunken low, who exactly laid in this dirt?
Without dragging you viewer too far without a light, the man before you is Masaru Yuuto. A man with a checkered background, a spotty attendance, and a history of trouble making. However, in order to truly understand Yuuto, you’ll have to dial back to his origin.
Born to an otherwise normal shinobi father of an unimportant clan, and a mother from the Masaru clan, a clan of wanderers, Yuuto was just a bouncing baby when his troubles began. From his birth his parents had wanted him to do great and amazing feats. They hoped he could become one of the sharpest spears in the country that took them in, the land of lightning. However, they could never watch their dreams unfold as they died in a routine mission by foreign shinobi. So, from then on he was taken in by his grandfather who was one of the few living relatives in the Cloud Village. Roku Masaru, a man of many virtues and who sought to instill them into Yuuto. He raised the boy to be a survivalist making regular trips into the mountains of Raiden to push the boy into manhood quickly.
Yuuto took things very fast always trying to stay ahead. He wasn’t one of those orphans who cried about his mom and dad. To him they died in an unfamiliar land, carrying out duties for the lightning country. They died fighting for their home, and their family. To him they were heroes and nothing he could do would change that or bring them back. Yet if only he knew that life wasn’t going to be that simple.
The young boy followed in his parents’ footsteps and became a shinobi of the Lightning Country. Even though Roku wanted Yuuto to give up on that and wander the world with him, he agreed to allow him to study and become a shinobi long enough until he could stand on his own two feet. Along the way Yuuto met many people and lived through some exciting moments.
His very first class was taught by Kiyo, the late Raikage at that time, and then a legendary medical chief from a Demonic Background (Yes so legendary I forgot his name). He made some great friends namely Karun (another demonic ancestral) and Naoharu (a spider dude, literally he had six arms it was creepy). While Karun and Naoharu became his squad members they broke apart slightly as they both trained under the Anbu Sennin Koumyou (Yes that Koumyou) while Yuuto trained under Kogan the Medical Sennin. When Yuuto advanced to Genin he was more experienced than other genin simply through the grueling training he received. However, tragedy befell the young man, shortly after becoming a Genin he lost Roku (his grandfather).
It was during a clear night; their house was broken into by four assassins with white robes. These assassins were gas masks and held a myriad of jagged blades. They of course came at Yuuto trying to eliminate the weaker of the two but Roku immediately casted a powerful barrier that blew them back. The assassins didn’t let up on the pressure as they then used a combination of different elemental jutsu to break through. While Roku created more barriers he also began something else. He focused for a moment gathering the chakra in his body into his forehead and revealed that he a had a third eye. “I don’t have time to explain but there’s something I need to give you”. Roku began to cut his hand open and then drew a seal in blood on his grandsons’ chest and forehead. He then summoned a azure flame and retraced over the blood while speaking to Yuuto, his words still clear as the night he said them.
“Yuuto, I may not make it out of this battle alive. These assassins are here for you just as much as they are for me. You must live, you must carry the Masaru name the proper way. There’s still so much I haven’t told you but you’ll find out on your own. You’ll make sense of everything. I know that you will because you’re my grandson. I love you Yuuto, now live and don’t ever forget to keep moving forward”
This azure energy then turned to black and the seals as if coming to life danced on Yuuto’s body and burrowed into him. He instantly began to feel a mind-numbing pain and he convulsed as if he was going through a seizure. He didn’t have much time to respond or say anything as Roku left the barrier and went to fight the assassins. The last image Yuuto remembered was his grandfather’s back and serious his aura was. The young Genin passed out only waking to find a wrecked home and his grandfather’s body with his third eye ripped out of his forehead.
There were many things that changed after this. For one Yuuto lost most of his reason to smile, and everything became far more serious even when it shouldn’t have. He became an emotional wreck unable to cope healthily with his grandfather’s death. His body was also extremely anorexic as if something ate his body dwindling his physique and yet the weirdest part of it all was the new power that he had obtained. For some reason, as if gifted to him on that night, Yuuto could perform sand ninjutsu to a higher degree. He had always been able to but this was a new level. The sand moved without his will, it protected him and assisted him like an extension of his own limbs. After getting a few examinations, the medical department concluded that Yuuto must have been of Sunaku descent.
With this new revelation and a few more clues with his background Yuuto decided it was time to learn about his family. He sought special permission to leave the village on a pilgrimage to seek answers. With determination Masaru Yuuto left the village for his next journey and yet these answers he received only turned into more questions.
Part Two:
After taking a year away from the village Yuuto returned with a new skillset and a new mindset. He had traveled to different countries namely the Wind Country where he believed his kin to have originated from. In his travels he asked many small villages along the way if they had ever encountered people with a third eye. After about 4 months he got a lead to an area in the desert where a clan used to reside. They kept to themselves and constantly moved around but gravitated towards that location.
Upon reaching the location Yuuto found what seemed to be a settlement that had been deserted for a very long time. He even found looted possessions and signs of a battle that led him to believe whatever clan was here before had been slaughtered. Needless to say, this frustrated the young boy as he couldn’t find any clues to identifying the settlers. He wandered throughout the desert only to happen upon a temple. This temple was being occupied by a group of traveling monks named the Yondai whose sole mission in life was to seek truth. Believing they could be his kin Yuuto told them his story but to no avail. The monks were not his kinsmen but they were able to do something else. They saw a soul being ripped apart by a storm of depression and anxiety and instead of letting it fester they sought to calm the storm. So they took Yuuto in and convinced him to train with them in order to find a truth in himself. Yuuto trained for a year extremely hard before taking his leave. When he returned to the Lightning Country and ultimately the Cloud Villlage he had become a new shinobi. The monks trained Yuuto extensively in the ways of hand to hand combat, and chakra manipulation. After gaining sufficient control and a mastery of hand to hand combat, the Yondai began to give Yuuto special instruction with genjutsu. They constantly trapped him in advance Genjutsu to torture his mind forcing him to confront his inner demons. The guilt of not being strong enough to save Roku is what tore him up the most and was the large hurdle he had to overcome. When he completed his training, Yuuto had foregone the power of the sands to that of one over illusions and fists. He became what some call a Shadow Boxer, one at heart with the illusionary fists.
So upon his return what was Yuuto’s next move? Well first off he sought to be examined as a Chuunin, passed and left his MiT status for that of an official Medical Ninja. He then resumed training with Kogan and even reconnected with his past partners Naoharu and Karun. Now that he was stronger and of higher ranking Yuuto started teaching classes and trying to be a contributing force to the Cloud Village. Like most things though, these tales don’t have a happy ending. Upon the year of his return Cloud lost their beloved Kagetsu Kiyo. Yuuto even managed to be on site when it happened and followed Koumyou, who was heartbroken, to the hospital to find out how it happened. Koumyou surprised that Yuuto evaded alerting him he took interest and employed the young Medical Ninja for special tasks. This lead to more joint operations between Anbu and Medical until Koumyou finally took over as Raikage employing Naoharu and Karun as part of his Raikage Guard, which also made Yuuto a member as their medic.
Once again more tragedy befell the Cloud Village….
Koumyou lost his life in a battle with a rogue shinobi on the streets and this shinobi was able to take control of his body. Posing as the Raikage (we will refer to him as the Fakage), the Fakage was able to convince most of the village that he was Koumyou except for those closest to him. His fiancé knew that the man before her wasn’t her beloved. Yuuto knew that Koumyou wasn’t in right state of mind due to their interactions and the lack of… well “Koumyou”. Even though the Fakage made Yuuto the Medical Sennin he still sought to expose the man as a fake. At this time in his tenure he sought to bring the few medical shinobi they had under united fronts but was not able to do so. The village was fractured and even his sensei from the academy days Kekkan (ha! I remembered his name) tried to kill him and take his body. Yuuto used a supernova like ninjutsu to make it seem like he committed suicide but in reality, he ran away.
Things didn’t get any easier from there, as Yuuto had became a crazed manic fool. He constantly triple guessed everything and always was looking behind his back. Eventually it caught up to him as he committed a crime of killing criminals before they could be judged as they were supposed to be. Yuuto was thrown into the prison (partially on his own request) and left to indulge himself in this new behavior. Over time one could say he lost bits and pieces of himself in that cell, to the point where human connection didn’t matter.
A few good things did come from this situation, for one Yuuto found his sanity in the insanity. Two, after long days spent meditating on end he finally opened his third eye. Three after opening this third eye he became more in tune with the spirit world, to the point where he could commune with the spirits of those who had passed (I.E. He became a Ghost Walker). Are you still following reader? I know it’s a bit of a clusterf*** but trust me it’s worse on me cause I can barely remember this stuff Things continued to take off from there as Yuuto eventually became “better”. He continued his reform and appealed to be released and reinstated. For better or for worse Masaru Yuuto got his wish as he left the underprison only to continue his warpath on injustice.
So we’re gonna fast forward a bit okay?
Yuuto eventually broke his strong connection to the spirit world, to be honest no one was exactly sure how he did it but when he did he became a bit saner. He started to experiment again and got heavy into the Anbu and RnD areas of the village. If you didn’t know Yuuto was/is a great puppeteer taking engineering of puppets to a whole new level. His refined his abilities once again tapping into an aspect of chakra in order to control the particles around him to bend reality and perception (Temporal Strider). Yuuto became more serious about stopping the injustice in Kumogakure and targeted the next Raikage Hayate Shin. Yuuto joined up with a criminal organization titled Titan, they sought to bring light to Kumogakure’s shadowed depths.
Yuuto on the other hand simply wanted to stop people like Miroku Akkuma from having his way and using Kumogakure like a piece of toilet paper. In his eyes Hayate Shin allowed foreign enemies to trample on Kumo and her citizens simply to avoid conflict with a clan that had no backing. By breaking into the Raikage’s tower, stealing information, creating civil unrest, and exposing some of the dealings HE viewed as wrong to Kumo it caused a small revolt, one that he regrets to this day, one that may have caused the death of Hayate Shin, or if nothing else agitated the situation.
So what happened to him next?
Well after his crimes Masaru Yuuto accepted that he was out of pocket as hell but he felt it was needed. To prove his commitment … You guessed it… He voluntarily went back to prison. While in prison he received news one day that Hayate Shin had been killed. Maybe Shin was always destined for death at the seat of Kage, but he was a good man. While they had ideologic differences he still viewed Shin as a dear beloved cloud shinobi. So Yuuto took that harshly viewing the incident as partly his fault. He may have not killed him but who knows what maniacs he gave reason to.
Part Three:
Years have passed since the unfortunate death of Hayate Shin. Yuuto has since calmed down a lot. His anger and drive for justice and corruptions end have otherwise faded. The only thing that Yuuto had truly taken from this was that justice was not always a simple path, nor can it be determined how things will happen. A lot of his hang ups had been settled with father time, and more often than not death brought him back to the first hallmark in his life, Roku’s death. So where was Yuuto at now mentally? He sought atonement for his actions that hurt the village even though he had the best of intentions.
The sense of time is so skewed in this prison. They keep you down locked into your thoughts, so as years went by all Yuuto had was his mind. He would meditate, open his third eye and try to reach his soul. He tried to speak to it, hoping for some kind of response but often heard nothing back. (Figurative) Overtime he began to accept this solitude and turned it into a weapon a space where he could clear his mind. It was in this state of mind that Yuuto came to the conclusion that he had to do something to make up for his actions. While not a formal shinobi anymore he still had a lot of time left on his clock and there were still things he as a man needed to reach. So he began his training, trying to muster his chakra even with dampeners on, working out harder than he had been in order to get back into peak. He was out of practice but he wouldn’t let this simple obstacle keep him down forever.
After a while (lack of better words) he appealed to be released from the prison. It had been years since his crimes were committed and they weren’t done out of malice but to expose bad decisions made by the higher ups. It would seem that his appeal went over well as he was released from the prison and from there Masaru Yuuto was allowed to find his own destiny, his own truth.
We could end the story here, as you’re pretty much up to speed but you will have more questions Reader.
Part Four:
So this brings us back full circle reader, now You know Masaru Yuuto’s history briefly but why is he in front of his grandfathers grave? Why is he mourning, didn’t he seek resolve to make up for his actions?
The state of the shinobi world seemed to have gotten better overall. It made Yuuto question if he even made the wrong decisions. The village was on the rise again and to be honest what more could he want? He was older now, and the world had passed him by. He assumed he would get out and come to a mess of problems he could include himself in and help people but that wasn’t the case at all. So now what was Masaru Yuuto’s next moves?
I suppose you should pay attention to his words and not my narration then.
“Grandpa.. do you remember when you took me training and I told you I didn’t want to do anything. I was being a little moody because all the other kids were talking about academy and you said I couldn’t go. I tried to get even calling your training dumb and saying I refused because I didn’t need to train if I was going to be a coward like you.. Haha I’ll never forget your laugh. You could have did anything else but instead you laughed. You told me that I was little more than a fool, and when I didn’t let up with my whining you asked why do I want to be a shinobi so bad. I told you to have purpose and you told me what men do in their lifetime doesn’t truly define purpose. I didn’t understand what you meant to this day I’m still not sure I do… But I think I gleaned on a bit of it. I feel like you were trying to tell me not to lead my life by actions… You never explained too well because I refused to listen but you let on that this Shinobi life wasn’t all it’s cracked up to be. We were brought up on patriotism but you lived in another time period. You lived in a period where blood was spilled for the smallest reasons, politics didn’t truly play a part all the time. And yet how did I still end up seeing needless bloodshed through my actions? Why did I fall into the path you didn’t want me to? I ask myself this everyday Grandpa… where did I go wrong? Was it when I went after Shin? Is it when I went after the fake Raikage? Was it when I came back to this village? Was it when I decided to become a shinobi…. Grandfather I don’t understand what I need to be doing. I don’t understand this power I have. I don’t understand this third eye you instilled in me. I don’t understand anything and when I could use you most you won’t reply, you can’t. Even if I dig into that side of the hole (the spiritual world) I wouldn’t’ hear from you. To be honest I don’t think I could face you after what I’ve done. Maybe I truly am the greatest disgrace…”
He began to kick himself
“I have disgraced your memory and your wishes. I have to atone to this village still… I know that to be one of my purposes but the biggest one I need to complete, the biggest purpose I have is to understand the Masaru Clan and to carry on our legacy. Grandfather after you died I was able to do things I shouldn’t have and since then I’ve been a sponge soaking in different things you only see a few shinobi do. I’ve always felt hollow but maybe… just maybe if I get back to my roots, and I fulfill something I set out to do for once… maybe I can fill this void. Thank you grandfather…. For all that you did and all that you gave. I love you…”
Anti-Climatic? Maybe… but what you’re missing is that you have now witnessed the birth of a new wind. A new gust that will sail Masaru Yuuto’s tale in directions that have yet to be told.
