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.

Character's Physical Description: Yasuo has a somewhat striking appearance than those around him. He isn't particularly fixed in his style, he teeters between the line of feminine and masculine. His hair is long, flowing down to his lower back though he keeps it somewhat tied up. Naturally his hair color is brown but he utilizes the dying techniques available to change it to a bright pink color. He also has heterochromia, caused by genetic mosaicism, where his left eye is blue but his right eye is green. He stands just a few centimeters below 5'8", and his body is thin, almost malnourished looking.

Yasuo's outfits, again, can switch from feminine to masculine at any real notice. While he doesn't enjoy wearing skirts or dresses, his color scheme and accessories can often seem more girly to most guys who suffer from that toxic masculinity people are talking about nowadays. Most days if he is just working in the hospital or just out and about he will be wearing a loose kimono, light purple in color, with a large sash hooked to his torso, around underneath his right arm, and connecting to the top of his left arm where the sleeve ends. He wars generic sandals with this kimono, and the outfit is given more of a flare with several floral and butterfly themed accessories. Though it may seem cumbersome it isn't impossible to fight in. However, when he has the forsight to know a fight is possible he will opt or a more sleek outfit. A dark Military like uniform that allows Yasuo to move more freely. Though the outfit comes with a mask he doesn't often wear it, as he isn't ANBU and feels like it'd be a wasted effort anyway.

Character's Mental Description: Yasuo is a strange individual. He appears sane and caring for the most part but he likes to keep other people at a distance longer than one would think. This is because he holds secrets that, if they were ever discovered, he'd probably be removed from the village. He doesn't hold human life to a higher regard, and the human bodies after death to an even lesser extent. He is incredibly sarcastic, some people would call him a savage, and it can often be seen as unnecessarily rude. Yasuo has an incredibly morbid sense of humor, jokes about death, others suffering, even jokes that seem to go too far can be quite hilarious to him, but that stems for his dislocated view on life.

One thing that Yasuo understands is weird and doesn't share with anybody is his cannibalistic nature. After having to live only one what he could hunt for years and getting closer to Water country, where no wildlife could live due to the temperature, he had to partake in the consumption of human flesh from bandits that he slaughtered. After participating in this more while learning the art of necromancy it became less of a necessary action and more of a common occurrence for him. This isn't to say he goes around killing people for their flesh, or even taking bodies from the morgue to eat. He still enjoys other food, there being only so many ways one can season human meat, but he no longer has second thoughts when it comes to eating another person. Its his survival over theirs.

Character History: Acting as History + BL + Kinjutsu Application (1817 WC)
Yasuo comes from a clan of shinobi known as Nanjirou. This specific branch resided in leaf village where instead of using their ancestral weapons regularly, they instead traded their ability to fight to mix their training with that of the occult. The Nanjirou wouldn't use their blades to fight, but allow the spirits of their ancestors to inhibit their bodies and fight through them. This worked for Yasuo all throughout his training and later in life, but after a while it felt wrong. While his clan specialized in Kenjutsu Yasuo had more of a penchant for ninjutsu, much to the chagrin of of his family. His clan thought that Yasuo would follow into his older brother's steps and embarrass the family more.

Yasuo's relationship to the spirits and souls from the other side was weird. While his clan revered them and accepted them into their bodies, Yasuo began to reject the spirits controlling him in battle, and after a while it became impossible for him to connect to the spirits in the way that his clan had taught. This left his ancestral blade tainted, cursed, and he was subsequently banished from the clan's premises. There were few people in the clan that would still speak to him, his parents, some friends, maybe even his older brother Sunuke if he was around.

After his clan banished him Yasuo threw himself into the worklife of just another shinobi, just barely a chuunin at the age of 16 when this decision was made. After his clan banished him he became much closer to the other shinobi in his village, forming many relationships, romantic and otherwise. He was placed on a team with two other people with a jounin to lead them. Unbeknownst to the jounin, Yasuo and the two others, a female, Kotsuko, and another male, Ryuuji, entered in a sort of polyamorous relationship. It wasn't centered around the girl, Yasuo loved them both equally.

While on a mission outside of the village both Yasuo and Kotsuko had to witness the horrific death of Ryuuji while neither of them could save him. They both took this event really hard but dealt with it in different ways. Kotsuko tried to find comfort in Yasuo's presence but he became more reclusive. He felt weak and powerless. This became worse when Kotsuko, not finding the support in Yasuo that she needed at the time, later took her own life. Yasuo fell deeper into his hole of depression and contemplated following Kotsuko, but he feared death, or more accurately, the truth of what comes after it.

After a while Yasuo had an epiphany. His clan had a connection to spirits, that wasn't normal, and while it was a connection to the spirits of their ancestors to enhance their fighting capabilities, it should be possible to use those same teachings to contact, or even bond with the spirits of his partners. It was difficult, the secrets of the Nanjirou clan was heavilly guarded, and it required a lot of bloodshed to reach his goal. While kenjutsu was formidable in its own right, ninjutsu was better at dealing tons of damage in the most immediate manner.

Once he obtained the secrets he discovered that the Nanjirou clan obtained their power by utilizing the techniques taught by tainted and corrupted practices, but ultimately changed the methods used to make it a harmonious agreement with the spirits. However, the secrets ended there but only gave Yasuo a glimpse of his next hint. The practitioner of such techniques was also known as a necromancer, and he worked in the medical field which gave him access to bodies that could not have been saved.

Yasuo made a sudden request to his village to change from main branch to the medical branch, and while it seemed weird since he hadn't shown any interest in medicine before nobody was going to deny more medical shinobi. He trained like any other medical ninja in training and learned a lot of useful jutsu, but he hadn't discovered the secrets he was actually going for. While he was in the medical branch he did have some chances to accurately study the human body, including understanding how the nerves in the body operated. While he was studying anatomy he discovered some more hints about the necromantic techniques he was searching for, but these clues showed that he would not find them within his village. It was also around this time that his crimes to his clan were beginning to catch fire and he needed to escape.

Using his knowledge obtained from the dead bodies he was able to make a convincing fake and fake his own death, leaving the village as a dead man no longer affiliated with the village. This allowed him some reprieve some his clan, as his death would have been punishment enough for them. He was able to keep some information about his next destination but it wouldn't be easy. The only thing keeping him going at this point was the possibility of being reunited with those he lost, but this began to weigh heavily on his mental state.

He spent two years traveling in-between villages, fearing that entering any village would alert his village of his status as alive. During his travels he found tiny towns and villages that had many of their own superstitions of the dead and them coming back to life every so often. Most of these led nowhere, but some had a sliver of truth behind them. Unfortunately most of the people only regurgitated the scary stories told to them by their parents when they were misbehaving. There was, however, one lady who was much older than the rest of the village. She was respected at one point, but many now believed she had gone senile and her words shouldn't be trusted, but they were wrong. She spoke of ancient ruins, an old man who live way past his expiration date, who used necromancy to extend his lifespan. This ruin was on the cusp of what once was Water country, and while not directly in the frozen wasteland it would definitely be a cold adventure.

Alas, Yasuo went out toward the ruins alone, he believed he could handle it himself and he didn't have
the money hire underlings. His goal was seemingly in reach and he was clearly losing his own mind in an effort to find this place. One the way he encountered many bands of bandits and mercenaries that Yasuo would mercilessly kill whenever they tried to get money for him. His appreciation for human life was already small from his training as a shinobi, the amount of lives he had to take was nothing compared to this.

It took him a half a year to find the ruins, he had ran out of food early and had to rely on the natural wildlife, and in times of extreme desperation, the bodies of the bandits he killed. Once he discovered the area he was adventuring to he realized it wasn't much of a ruin. It looked like a larger home that had began to fall apart and partially freeze over from being so close to water country. Immediately upon stepping on the desecrated grounds he noticed that there were skeletons thrown about the place. Upon closer inspections it seemed as though there were still some bodies that were recently deceased.

Upon entering the home Yasuo could see from the candles that weren't completely frozen over, that someone was still living here. He heard footsteps from behind him, but upon turning he came face to face with several people, but their bodies were decaying and falling apart. Yasuo jumped out of the home, only to realize that many of the bodies and the skeletons around the home. Brittle bodies wasn't an issue to go through, but they just kept coming, but at some point they stopped. The sound of wood hitting frozen ground pierced the sound of brainless moaning and caught Yasuo's attention.

An old man, far past his prime, came to personally greet Yasuo. He informed Yasuo that most people that had arrived at his home were weak and easily overtaken, and later added to, his little zombie army. Not many shinobi had ventured out to this area, and while the man was old and couldn't fight any longer he understood what a young shinobi was capable of. To assert his dominance Yasuo began to wipe out the rest of the surrounding zombies as he made his way face to face with the old man, drawing his ancestral sword to threaten the old man, only to be laughed at. The man had no fear of dying, Yasuo could see that and threatening him would get him nowhere, but he kept the sword at the man's throat and demanded he tell Yasuo how to perform necromancy. Though the man seemed confused for a moment his expression changed to amusement, so he agreed.

The next year Yasuo partidipated in many horrific rituals, which included taking the lives of innocent people, experimenting on their bodies with his medical knowledge while they were both alive and dead. The old man taught Yasuo how to tap into energies that were not quite kosher, he grew to disassociate human life from that of other meat people eat while he and the man practiced cannibalism. Finally, the man taught Yasuo how to manipulate the souls of the departed in a manner that contradicted the methods taught by his clan. Once Yasuo was done with the man, he killed him and use what the man taught him to chain his soul. Naturally, the man knew this day would come after teaching Yasuo, and he didn't resist.

However, now that Yasuo had the teachings of the necromancer, he had no other real purpose in life other than drawing the souls from his two loves back near to him. Naturally he could not attempt to rejoin the Leaf village, he was presumed dead and if he just came back it would look highly suspicious. So he took a risk. While Kumogakure was in an alliance with leaf he wasn't registered as a missing shinobi, so he was hopeful he could enter the village without setting off any alarms. Him being a mercenary was already difficult, naturally a village wouldn't immediately trust a person trained as a shinobi that had no village affiliation. After some time he was able to get himself accepted into the village as a shinobi, but on a probational period, if he were to do something the village did not approve of he wouldn't be kicked out, he'd be executed. He was able to put his previous experience in the medical field to good use which garnered some semblance of trust in him as he joined the medical branch, both to help and to facilitate his fascination with the dead.
Clan Request: Not really a clan but requires approval from Leaf (for mentioning them), Lore (for mentioning Water Country), And Sunuke (for being his younger sibling)

You have my approval on all counts. (Kin, class, Jutsu, history)

I'll contact the appropriate channels for your history, I will point out that it doesn't specifically say you were in leaf most of your early history very clearly. My familiarity with Sunuke's history was an asset here. Also, for curiosity sake, how did your character take his brother going missing from leaf village when they were teens before the Samurai business? I Imagine they haven't reconnected either?

Pending second approval.

Sorry for the wait.

Alright, so on the Water Country count, there is no way to get there except by boat--it's a series of islands. Your char cannot have wandered close to them, or found a house 'near' them. You're either on them or not.

Edited History.

Keypoints:
  • All Mention of Water Country removed, changed ruins to the mountains of Lightning Country.
  • Added a bit about the Samurai incursion and Sunuke going missing.
  • Based on Sunuke's words he left around 14 IC years ago, making Yasuo 11 when he left. He also has no idea Sunuke is in cloud, has been around cloud, or any relation he has had with cloudies.

Yasuo comes from a clan of shinobi known as Nanjirou. This specific branch resided in leaf village where instead of using their ancestral weapons regularly, they instead traded their ability to fight to mix their training with that of the occult. The Nanjirou wouldn't use their blades to fight, but allow the spirits of their ancestors to inhibit their bodies and fight through them. This worked for Yasuo all throughout his training and later in life, but after a while it felt wrong. While his clan specialized in Kenjutsu Yasuo had more of a penchant for ninjutsu, much to the chagrin of of his family. His clan thought that Yasuo would follow into his older brother's steps and embarrass the family more.

Sunuke had left the leaf village when Yasuo was only 11 years old, at that age he didn't understand the magnitude of the betrayal, but he couldn't think much about it after the Samurai had begun taking over. Yasuo was merely a genin when the shinobi were pushed from the village by the samurai. It was very strange for he and the rest of the clan, as they weren't too different from the samurai, at least in their fighting styles. The Nanjirou clan offered every single one of its trained warriors, those that obtained gennin rank or higher, to the clause of getting the leaf village, and fire country, back. This only solidified his negative feelings toward his brother, who wasn't there for him at the time. Once Leaf was returned Yasuo went back to training as both a shinobi and a member of his clan.

Yasuo's relationship to the spirits and souls from the other side was weird. While his clan revered them and accepted them into their bodies, Yasuo began to reject the spirits controlling him in battle, and after a while it became impossible for him to connect to the spirits in the way that his clan had taught. This left his ancestral blade tainted, cursed, and he was subsequently banished from the clan's premises.

After his clan banished him he became much closer to the other shinobi in his village, forming many relationships, romantic and otherwise.

His goal was seemingly in reach and he was clearly losing his own mind in an effort to find this place.

An old man, far past his prime, came to personally greet Yasuo. He informed Yasuo that most people that had arrived at his home were weak and easily overtaken, and later added to, his little zombie army.

Another Edit:

Removed most of mention of leaf whatsoever other than the fact that one of Yasuo's parents was from a clan in leaf, as necessary for the relation to Sunuke, making Yasuo his half brother.
Yasuo was born in a little village in De Cevitate Attonbitus, outside of an actual shinobi village, in Lightning Country. At first Yasuo believed he had a normal family, he lived with his mother and occasionally his father. His father would come and go for work, but Yasuo was unaware of his occupation. Whenever he would come back he would return with little trinkets; broken shurikens, scrolls damaged by fire or water, things you would find from a battlefield. He said he merely found these items on his travels, but Yasuo later discovered that to be a lie.

Once Yasuo reached the age of 10 his father began "procuring" random, actually readable scrolls, and a practice sword. His father would begin teaching him and practicing what was taught in these scrolls alongside Yasuo, pretending to be learning the information from the scrolls at the same time, when in reality he had already mastered the techniques he was teaching his Son. After a few months of basic training Yasuo's father "discovered" the secrets of a clan he called the "Nanjirou" who utilized the spirits of their ancestors to channel their strength and combat skills into their own body through the use of their swords. Naturally his father had two spare swords, one for him and one for Yasuo. While training Yasuo's father saw something strange in him, one that thoroughly disturbed him.

Yasuo's relationship to the spirits and souls from the other side was weird. While his clan revered them and accepted them into their bodies, Yasuo began to reject the spirits controlling him in battle, and after a while it became impossible for him to connect to the spirits in the way that his father was attempting to teaach him. This left his ancestral blade tainted, cursed, and Yasuo could see the massive disappointment in his father's eyes.

Once Yasuo had reached the age of 11 he was pulled aside by his father, away from his mother's ears. His father told Yasuo the truth. That he actually had another family in a village, hidden in the leaves as he said it, and that Yasuo actually had an older brother. He wasn't quite sure how to handle the news, but he understood that if he had an older brother then that meant that Yasuo and his mother was actually the side family. This explained how his father would be absent for most of the year, he wasn't gone for work, he left work to come to them. His father wanted him to keep it a secret, but he was so disgusted that he told his mother immediately, who had a fit and wanted nothing to do with his father afterwards. That was the last time he saw his father, later in life he heard something about there being Samurai within the leaf village, but Yasuo didn't understand this.

Once Yasuo reached the age of 15 he joined this rag tag group of local youth who, through their own backstories, obtained knowledge of shinobi training. From this small group, of maybe 20, Yasuo was placed in a group with two other kids his age. Kotsuko and Ryuuji, who became quite important to Yasuo, helping him through tough times without a father. While on an adventure outside of their village both Yasuo and Kotsuko had to witness the horrific death of Ryuuji while neither of them could save him. They both took this event really hard but dealt with it in different ways. Kotsuko tried to find comfort in Yasuo's presence but he became more reclusive. He felt weak and powerless. This became worse when Kotsuko, not finding the support in Yasuo that she needed at the time, later took her own life. Yasuo fell deeper into his hole of depression and contemplated following Kotsuko, but he feared death, or more accurately, the truth of what comes after it.

After a while Yasuo had an epiphany. His clan had a connection to spirits, that wasn't normal, and while it was a connection to the spirits of their ancestors to enhance their fighting capabilities, it should be possible to use those same teachings to contact, or even bond with the spirits of his partners. He didn't have much left from what his father left him, his mother wanted to burn it all but it was still valuable to him. Within it was some code that he needed to decipher to gain the information.

Once he deciphered the meanings he discovered that the Nanjirou clan obtained their power by utilizing the techniques taught by tainted and corrupted practices, but ultimately changed the methods used to make it a harmonious agreement with the spirits. However, the secrets ended there but only gave Yasuo a glimpse of his next hint. The practitioner of such techniques was also known as a necromancer, and he worked in the medical field which gave him access to bodies that could not have been saved.

Yasuo went to the village doctors, who weren't trained as medical shinobi but were well versed in general medical procedures.. He trained like any other aspiring doctor the basics of biology and human anatomy,=, but he hadn't discovered the secrets he was actually going for. While he was in the medical field he did have some chances to accurately study the human body, including understanding how the nerves in the body operated. While he was studying anatomy he discovered some more hints about the necromantic techniques he was searching for, but these clues showed that he would not find them within his village.

He spent two years traveling in-between villages, not sure it would be wise to search for this information within villages, as well as actively avoiding the village his father came from.. During his travels he found tiny towns and villages that had many of their own superstitions of the dead and them coming back to life every so often. Most of these led nowhere, but some had a sliver of truth behind them. Unfortunately most of the people only regurgitated the scary stories told to them by their parents when they were misbehaving. There was, however, one lady who was much older than the rest of the village. She was respected at one point, but many now believed she had gone senile and her words shouldn't be trusted, but they were wrong. She spoke of ancient ruins, an old man who live way past his expiration date, who used necromancy to extend his lifespan. This ruin resided near the peak of a random mountain that made up Lightning Country. The high altitude meant it would be a cold adventure.

Alas, Yasuo went out toward the ruins alone, he believed he could handle it himself and he didn't have the money hire underlings. His goal was seemingly in reach and he was clearly losing his own mind in an effort to find this place. One the way he encountered many bands of bandits and mercenaries that Yasuo would mercilessly kill whenever they tried to get money for him. His appreciation for human life was already small from his training as a shinobi, the amount of lives he had to take was nothing compared to this.

It took him a half a year to find the ruins, he had ran out of food early and had to rely on the natural wildlife, and in times of extreme desperation, the bodies of the bandits he killed. Once he discovered the area he was adventuring to he realized it wasn't much of a ruin. It looked like a larger home that had began to fall apart. Immediately upon stepping on the desecrated grounds he noticed that there were skeletons thrown about the place. Upon closer inspections it seemed as though there were still some bodies that were recently deceased.

Upon entering the home Yasuo could see from the candles that weren't completely frozen over, that someone was still living here. He heard footsteps from behind him, but upon turning he came face to face with several people, but their bodies were decaying and falling apart. Yasuo jumped out of the home, only to realize that many of the bodies and the skeletons around the home. Brittle bodies wasn't an issue to go through, but they just kept coming, but at some point they stopped. The sound of wood hitting frozen ground pierced the sound of brainless moaning and caught Yasuo's attention.

An old man, far past his prime, came to personally greet Yasuo. He informed Yasuo that most people that had arrived at his home were weak and easily overtaken, and later added to, his little zombie army. Not many shinobi had ventured out to this area, and while the man was old and couldn't fight any longer he understood what a young shinobi was capable of. To assert his dominance Yasuo began to wipe out the rest of the surrounding zombies as he made his way face to face with the old man, drawing his ancestral sword to threaten the old man, only to be laughed at. The man had no fear of dying, Yasuo could see that and threatening him would get him nowhere, but he kept the sword at the man's throat and demanded he tell Yasuo how to perform necromancy. Though the man seemed confused for a moment his expression changed to amusement, so he agreed.

The next year Yasuo participated in many horrific rituals, which included taking the lives of innocent people, experimenting on their bodies with his medical knowledge while they were both alive and dead. The old man taught Yasuo how to tap into energies that were not quite kosher, he grew to disassociate human life from that of other meat people eat while he and the man practiced cannibalism. Finally, the man taught Yasuo how to manipulate the souls of the departed in a manner that contradicted the methods taught by his clan. Once Yasuo was done with the man, he killed him and use what the man taught him to chain his soul. Naturally, the man knew this day would come after teaching Yasuo, and he didn't resist.

However, now that Yasuo had the teachings of the necromancer, he had no other real purpose in life other than drawing the souls from his two loves back near to him. Him being a mercenary was already difficult, naturally a village wouldn't immediately trust a person trained as a shinobi that had no village affiliation. After some time he was able to get himself accepted into the village as a shinobi, but on a probational period, if he were to do something the village did not approve of he wouldn't be kicked out, he'd be executed. He was able to put his previous experience in the medical field to good use which garnered some semblance of trust in him as he joined the medical branch, both to help and to facilitate his fascination with the dead.
