Age: 10
Height: 4’6”

Gender: Male
Village: Konohagakure
Physical description:
Standing at slightly above average height for his age, Minamoto Daisuke doesn’t present too much of an imposing figure. His blonde hair and piercing blue eyes (a gift from both his mother and father) frame his face elegantly, the brightness of which juxtapose his often serious and unimpressed expression. As per the tradition of his father’s clan, Daisuke has a tattoo of the Minamoto clan emblem under his right eye. Such a symbol is of belonging, not only to his family but to the once great Hidden Mist.
No matter how much effort is placed into his appearance, the blonde locks sat atop Daisuke’s head always seem to fall in waves and while it may at first seem untidy the style itself it meticulously placed in order to flow without restricting vision.
The majority of the time, Daisuke sports long deep blue clothing as an attempt to minimise the amount of pale skin visible on his person. Both his sleeves and trouser legs are fastened by a thin cream cord at the ankles and wrists to keep them from billowing in heavy wind or strenuous activity. Should the weather require it, a brown sleeveless jacket sits on top of the blue garb in order to protect from the elements.
Mental Description:
Serious. Often a word that Daisuke would hear from his parents and as he grew older it became more and more entwined into his personality. While some children may be loud and ignorant to the world around them, Daisuke is quite the opposite. However, such a personality trait wasn’t manifested from birth. No, instead the young boy chooses to remain quiet unless he feels the need to talk. In his mind, words spoken needlessly are a waste of energy and a shinobi needs all the energy he can gather – though that does not mean he isn’t confident. Despite being of such a young age, Daisuke has always dreamt of becoming a shinobi just like his parents Minako and Suyashi. But that dream wasn’t to enable an action-packed life, not at all.
In truth Daisuke is a peace-loving boy, always taking the time to quietly reflect on the natural world as well as the nature of the shinobi world into which he was born. A pacifist at heart, Daisuke doesn’t quite understand conflict be it on a local or international level. Yet it is something ever present in the world around him, it is the weight that presses on his mind – invading his calm thoughts with imagery of battle and loss. Even if he couldn’t put it into words, the Minamoto boy knows that peace is the path to happiness not only for him but for everyone.
History:
Daisuke was born to Fujiwara Minako and Minamoto Suyashi, his birth creating a bridge of blood between both clans. Konohagakure provided a home for the young family despite neither parent being born into the settlement, such a fact only served to open Daisuke’s eyes to the unity created despite the differences in origin.
Being the only child didn’t deprive Daisuke of fond memories shared with family, in fact his grandparents became his source of childhood entertainment while both his mother and father attended to their duties in Konoha. Only one grandparent remained alive on each side of the family, Fujiwara Daisuke – the man Daisuke was named after and Kasumi Masa. One a Chuunin while the other was the former Mizukage. The difference in rank would be something Daisuke gradually understood with age, but in truth that mattered very little to him. Of course it was an honour to be the grandson of two Mizukage (one of which he sadly never met) but the classification of shinobi did not matter as the grandparents who were still alive filled the same role.
The two generations of family, parents and grandparents, inspired his drive to become a shinobi. It became clear that the driving force in the world were the shinobi themselves and as such Daisuke campaigned with his parents to allow him to join the academy, their acceptance of his request brought great joy to the young lad as he too would soon join them as a ninja of the hidden leaf.

It had been a pleasant day in Konohagakure, the sun was shining and the birds overhead sung their peaceful song. It was the heart of summer and by all accounts the temperature was just below uncomfortably hot. Rays of light glistened on a blue canvas that was the park lake. A single solitary figure gracefully walked along its bank, staring out over the body of water stretched in front of him. He made is way through thinly spread pond reeds in order to get closer to the calming waters at his side.
Daisuke had always been at ease in nature, something about it really calmed his mind and allowed for clear thinking on another level to that of regular life. The quiet lapping from ripples of liquid against soft ground allowed for the boy to ease his breathing, despite only being a child he still faced the stress of trying to live up to the skill of his parents.
Ahead stood a tiny old wooden pier that reached out a few metres into the lake. Daisuke tried to visit daily but couldn’t always find the time; this after all was his favourite place to be. The boy strode out onto aged planks of wood and made his way slightly further into the centre of the body of water. Some planks creaked and wobbled a bit, but that was the norm now. ’Same old same old. Someone should probably sort it out. It was in that very moment that the wood beneath him gave way.
With a seemingly almighty splash, the figure of the youngster hit water. His clothes quickly absorbed the moisture and began dragging him down towards the murky depths of the lake. Such weight was too much for a young boy and despite his panicked efforts he could not find the strength to swim up towards the surface. This was surely it for him.
But then the panic faded, the embrace of terror gradually morphed into an embrace of comfort and calmness. Something had awakened within him, an affinity that had been slumbering since birth. The blood of the Hidden Mist circulated inside the boy, as did his chakra. He had to utilise it. In truth he felt at peace now, at one with the water but still he had to get out of there. Daisuke could feel the lack of oxygen impeding his thoughts, brain function subtly lacked, and he knew that he needed air.
With eyes squinted and chakra built up in his body, the boy released a shout that was instantly lost to the water. Yet a moment later he was propelled forwards as if the water itself was carrying him to safety. He had stayed submerged for what seemed like forever yet soon enough his form broke the lake’s surface. Within a few seconds he was pushed up onto the bank, a few gasps brought air into his deprived lungs.
He may have survived, he may sill have been the same person, but on that day something changed. Something within had awoken…
