Bio:
Chapter One: The Birth of a Bee

*The sun rose slightly in the country of rock and stone. It was spring in May, with the sounds of bees buzzing around the little flowers and plants that chose to bloom there. A woman with long black hair stopped to watch the bees at working, acting as gatherers for their colonies to provide nourishment for the young. Oanami Kamizuru rubbed her stomach; she was in her third trimester and due at any moment. She sighed as she looked out into the fields at her husband; she smiled gently as she strode out towards him in the fields of the bees. She wrapped her arms around him and place her head on his back.*

Oanami: "Soon, we will have a beautiful child that will grow to be a fierce Iwa shinobi, for the sake of the Clan, I can see it now."
*The man smiled to her, and place his hand on her stomach and kissed the top of her head, his name was Uzu Kamizuru.*

Uzu: "Yes, for the sake of the Kamizuru Clan." *He looked down to her and they both sighed, dreaming into a distant future.*

Oanami:*However suddenly Oanami placed a hand on her stomach.*"I think, my..."

Uzu:*He nodded and then helped her hurry down into the house into a bedroom and down on a bed. He placed the back of his hand against her forehead and smiled to her gently.* "I'll get the doctor." *Uzu hurried from the house, and then called to his bees at work in the fields, they stopped and then flew towards him as he sent one to the doctor. He then hurried back inside to grab a cloth and slowly filled a bucket with hot water.*

Oanami: *She let out a yelp of pain, as she begin to lock up.* "Uzu." *she gripped his hand firmly.* "I'm glad that I married you all those years ago, I love you."

Uzu: *He nodded to her and caressed her head gently and then placed his lips on the back of her hand.* "Don't worry honey, the doctor will be here soon and then we will have our first child. I love you so much." *He smiled and then placed his arm around her shoulder.*

Doctor: *He quickly moves into the house and nods to both of them, placing gloves on his hands and setting his back down.* "Hello, are you feeling Mrs. Oanami."

Oanami: "It hurts; it feels like someone is sliding a sword into my side with hesitation. Grah!" *She squeezed

Uzu's hand sharply as pain shot up her left side.*

Doctor: "Don't worry; we'll have your child born in no time." *He smiles and then prepares himself for the child-birth and also helps Oanami move into a more comfortable position as he instructs Uzu to slightly press her sides at certain points.*

*Moments later, Oanami lets out loud shrills of pain as the process of child birth commences, the doctor remains calm and patient as Uzu squeezes his Wife's hand gently to try and relive attention to the child. Oanami's face turns red and breaks into a sweat, she stares up at the ceiling and closes her eyes as she begins to softly dream.*
Dream: *Oanami is sitting in a room, with no one around her except a small box with a crying infant inside. She looks down to the small child, and picks him up gently. She smiles to it and then kisses its forward for a moment as she begins to hug it; she then turns to see another baby on a table. She stares at it as she looks to the baby in her arms; the small child begins to struggle to get from her arms as she lets out a scream soon both children are more grown, about the size of a medium sized wolf. She looked at them confused as in the room, the walls began to peel away, soon she is standing in a field with many dead shinobi around her, she stares up the red sky as many bees buzz around the area, she stares with horror as one child rests alive around all of the bodies of the Iwa shinobi, he is holding out his finger a bee resting on it as he turns towards his mother and smiles. She begins to run towards him, but once she gets there he is gone, as she bloods down, a blade through her stomach as blood begins to drip from the wound. She looks up and lets out a scream, as she begins to turn into many bees.

Oanami: *Lets out a final scream followed by the scream of a small child.*

Doctor: "It’s a boy! It’s a boy!"

Uzu: "Oanami, look at him. We did it, we had a son." *He kissed her red, hot and sweating forehead gently.*

Oanami: *She let out a gasp and took the child, holding him in her arms tenderly.* "We shall name him Hachi, for the gift that he holds...” *She smiled down to him and then began to sing a soft tune.* "Come little children, I'll take you away, to a land of enchantment. Come little children; come with me now, to my garden of magic...”

Chapter Two: A Bee's First taste of Honey

*It was night time, and also it was five years later after the birth of Hachi, he was growing up quickly now about the size of a small chair. He was running through his father's fields and cart-wheeling around, and laughing happily. Small bees also buzzed after him in delight, seeming to play with him as well as Hachi smelled a flower, so did the bees. They were playing a small game of follow the leader, of course supervised by his mother Oanami.*

Oanami: *she smiles as she sits on a chair and watches him play around.* "Don't go too far little bee!"

Hachi: *He nodded to her with a smile, and then leapt on playing around.*

Uzu: *He came out and places a hand on his wife's shoulder, gently kissing the top of her head as he sighed.* "He’s growing quite well, and he hasn't even gotten into the academy yet."

Oanami: *she nods and then rubs her husband's hand tenderly.* "He’s going to the Academy in a week, he turns six tomorrow too. He’s very excited for his party and even started picked out the theme for his party."

Uzu: *He chuckles.* "I'm sure with help of course."

Oanami: "Yes, of course." *She smiles slightly and then turns to watch Hachi pick up a flower. She then sighs.* "I wonder what it’s going to be like when has a Genin, and he goes off into the world of a shinobi. Do you think he will enjoy the life? We're shinobi ourselves, I'm an academy instructor and you’re a gate guard. Do you think he wants to follow in one of our footsteps?"

Uzu: *He smiles.* "No no, our lives are too boring for Hachi, he’s so spirited and I'm sure he'll want to surpass us. I mean, we did when we were children, but we got stuck with our parent's jobs."

Oanami: *she playfully swats his Arm.* "You know very well my parents were not shinobi, and if our son wants to follow our footsteps, so be it."

Uzu: "No way, he’s going to be the Tsuchikage one day!"

Oanami: "Please, the Tsuchikage is good already to us. Our boy is going to be a skilled Anbu and a warrior of our village. Besides, why are we brainstorming his future? It’s for him to decide.*

Uzu: *He nods silently.*

Hachi: *He giggles loudly as he rolls down a hill, into a patch of blooming dandelions. The seeds flew from the flowers and sailed around the air as Hachi looked up at them with full interest. His small lips turned into a smile as he ran and began to jump after them in sport. Soon he rolled down into a hole, and let out a loud scream. His parents sat up instantly and began to shout out his name, as they called their bees to search for him. Hachi looked around at the small hidden cavern. He looked around the golden walls, dripping with a yellowish, translucent liquid. He tilted his head as the bees around him began to buzz with delight as they went and began to sip up the sweat nectar. He smiled and then walked over to it as well, and stuck his tongue into it. He giggled with delight as he began to drink the rich sustenance. He parents soon found him and smiled, they wrapped their arms around each other and began to shake their heads at the foolish little Hachi.*

*A few months later, Hachi was now six and sitting into a wooden chair as he listened to his mother give a lesson about the styles of a shinobi, which ranged from Taijutsu to Ninjutsu to Genjutsu to Kenjutsu, she then began to ask children to some and sign the names to which they wished to learn.*

Hachi: *He signed his name under Ninjutsu, and titled his head.*

Female Classmate: "Hey, bee boy! You don’t do no nuinjitsu, you do the guenjitsu!”

Hachi: "Na Uh! I do the Nuinjitsu, cause the honey told me"

Female Classmate: "Wha?"

Hachi: "The honey told me! You know what honey is right?”

Female Classmate: *She shook her head no.*

Hachi: *Hachi sighed and then hit his head slightyl.* "Honey is nuinjitsu, made by bees! That’s why I'm a nuinjitsu person, because I have bees!”

Female Classmate: Ohh! Oh tay." *Waves her open hand slowly into the air in a semi-cricle.*

Oanami: *she sighed and then shook her head, then went back to begin to continue the lesson, as she began to explain the forms of them into more detail, and showed them examples of each soon afterwards. The day ended slowly, as everyone left, along with the female classmate who tried to tell her mommy about the honey nuinjitsu.*

Chapter Three: The Sad Bee


*It was now five years later; Hachi was eleven years old and had prospered in the academy quite well. He had named most of his bees by now, and they were his friends. He whispered to them and laughed with them, and had hardly any friends except for a little girl named Unoko and another boy named Tu, Unoko was learning Genjutsu while Tu was learning Taijutsu and Kenjutsu, they were like a small squad already formed in the Academy and if they had small team challenges they would often form a team. On that particular day, it was a hot summer, his father was on away on a mission and his mother would often phase off during class to worry about him.*

Unoko: "Alright, I practiced by Genjutsu last night and I think I got it down."

Tu: "Cool, I got my taijutsu down, but I can't seem to get my kenjutsu right."

Hachi: "Ya, I'm having some trouble too"

Tu: "Hmm, maybe we should sneak out of the academy."

Unoko: *Gasps.* "But we'll get in trouble, and then we'll all get punished and I don't like punishments because my mommy makes me go and pick a sharp branch to whip me with."

Tu: *He nods.* "But, but Hachi's mommy isn't looking and we won't leave the village!”

Hachi: "I guess so, we can go my house and run around the fields, and then we need to hurry back before mommy finds out that we left, or she will get in trouble."

Unoko: "I don't like this idea, we're gonna get in serious trouble! Tu, if you get in some more trouble, you might get kicked out of the Academy and fail and take longer to become a Genin and then we can't be in a squad!”

Tu: "Nah uh! I'm just fine, now come on!" *He begins to pull both of them.*

Unoko and Hachi: *Both sigh at the same time, and just follow along.*

*Soon, all three arrive at Hachi's home, his mother by now has noticed that they left and sent for shinobi to go find the missing students. Hachi, Unoko and Tu have wandered way down into a forest, Hachi claims that this is still in the village and apart of his home. Unoko is worried still, afraid to get into trouble or even get attacked by a wild animal.*

Unoko: *she looks around, her arms folded over pressed into her stomach.* "We should go back, this isn't safe."

Tu: "Of course it is, Hachi knows where he’s going, right?"

Hachi: "Yep! I think...” *He stops to scratch his head.*

Unoko: "He does not, we're lost let’s just turn around...”

Tu: "Okay.., let’s turn around, ummm one question. Which way is around?”

Hachi: "Uh oh, mommy is gonna get in trouble now and be worried and stuff."

*A bristle is heard, as three people walk from the bushes, all three have on Iwa headbands, with crosses out along the symbol of the headband.*

Male #1: "Well, well, well. Look what the cat dragged in, puny little students."

Female: "He he, this was too easy, they didn't even notice us coming."

Male #2: "Your Hachi Kamizuru, your father has caused me a great deal of trouble, but I think I'll get even with him. *He grins and then takes a few shuriken from a ninja pack on his belt.*

Unoko: "Y-You leave us a-alone, or, or, our p-arents are gonna kick your butt!" *She begins to shake visibly, fear apparent in her tender eyes.*

Female: "Really now? Are you gonna scream really loud for mommy!" *She cackles and then kicks Unoko into a tree nearby.*

Unoko: *She lets out a scream of pain, as she begins to tremble in pain. She slowly stands and then makes a single handseal.* "Rakuyou no Jutsu!" *Soon, she begins to disappear to the female, before the female just punts her back into a tree.*

Female: "Little brat, think your wittle Genjutsu will affect me! Hah!”

Male #1: "He he, this too easy." *He sends out a few shurikens that fly past Hachi, soon invisible wires wrap around him and then send him into a tree.*

Hachi: *Lets out a yell of pain, as he looks up with tears beginning to form in his eyes.* "You...Leave us alone!”

Male #2: "Poor little Hachi, too bad his friends had to die"

Hachi: *His eyes widened with fear.* "No, you leave them alone! Don't hurt them! Run Unoko and Tu!”

Tu: *He turned and grabbed Unoko, as he began to run.*

Male #2: *He smirked and then begins to make a few seals. "Doton: Attacking Plants Jutsu" *Soon the ground began to separate towards the two running, as Tu tripped and then began to get beaten by the rock and roots that came up to him.*

Tu: *Lets out a wail of pain and fear.*

Unoko: "Tu!" *She began to cry, as she turned to the other male sending a glowing fist into her stomach, she let out a cough as she was sent flying into a tree/*

Male #1: "He he he, too easy."

Female: "My turn." *she began to seal slowly.* "Doton: Raining Snow Bullets jutsu" *Soon the earth shot up.*

Hachi: *Turned away swiftly, as he let out cries of grief as he tried to drown out the screams of both of his friends.*

*Moments later, shinobi arrived untying the unconscious Hachi, he fell unconscious from stress and trauma, his mother held onto him as the shinobi cleared the area with the bodies of Unoko and Tu, both were to have a funeral in the coming days. Oanami continued to teach after that event, a few weeks had gone by and Hachi had made no new friends, in fact he separated himself from others and refused to work with them. He cried often and hardly every spoke to his mother. On the day of graduation, Hachi was found swinging back in forth on a small swing.*

Hachi: *Signing to himself.* "Come little children, I’ll take you away, into a land of enchantment, come little children I'll take you away. In my garden of magic..." *He looked up at the sky, wondering what would away in his little garden that he called the world. Bees soon swarmed around him as he began to cry once again, for the future that awaits him.*

Bio:
Chapter one: His Dedication, His Madness.. (Age 9)
"I am Takara Kai.. Academy Student... inexplicably drawn to discovery.. I've decided to keep a journal.. " Narrarating as he writes, Kai suddenly stops. Running his hand through his hair agitatedly, and crosses out everything he just wrote. (Gah.. why did i do that.. it was fine! ..... No.. it wasn't fine.. it was peculiar.) Without a word, he rips the page from his journal and throws it into a wastebasket. The young man jumps as his mother opens the door to his bedroom.
"Kai dear, it's time for dinner.. come and eat before you burn yourself out." a sweet, motherly smile brightens her complexion, and Kai's mood.
"Alright mom.. I'll be out in a minute.." The minute soon turned into five minutes, then ten.. in the dining space of the Takara residence, his parents quietly discuss their child's behavior as a plate, once steaming hot and piled with food, sits on the table.. cold. Suddenly, a loud thud comes from Kai's room as his mom rushes from the table, knocking over her chair and quickly getting to his room. Upon opening the door, she finds her son with his head in his arms, crying on his desk.
"Kai! Sweetheart what happened, are you hurt?!"
" I.. I couldn't get it right.. it was frustrating.. "
"What was, my baby, why are you crying??"
" The Homework! The Journal! All of it!" He shouts, snapping at his mother, which causes her to take a step back as a reflex. "I hurt my hand.." Holding out his hand, she notices a few of his fingers are broken. "I slammed my hand on my desk.. and then.. " He starts bawling and she soon gathers him up and sits on his bed, holding him in her lap.
"It's okay, my baby.. it's okay.. I'm here.. " She quietly weeps while her child whimpers in her lap. His desire for perfection has gotten worse and worse, day by day. (I'll have to have him see someone.. before he hurts himself beyond the point that can be healed..) His mother stays with him all night, sleeping with her child in her arms.

Bio / History :

Rain had begun to pour over the darkened clouds near Rock Country. ANBU had been dispatched to the coast, hearing about a shipwreck, to see that everyone was alright, or to see what the cause was. There seemed no survivors, save for a single girl around the age of four, mourning for her fallen mother. The ANBU had brought her back to the village. After returning to the village, they had noticed that she learns much faster and more efficiently than the other students, when she was in the academy. After becoming genin before any of her other 'friends', she had taken a test to find her element, which proved different. She couldn't find her element, no matter how hard she focused her chakra. After having taken tests from officials, they had realized that she was without an element, but her intelligence at her age was unreal.

Like many Takara, Senzou has grown up missing one of his parents, his mother died in the defense of Rock two years after his birth. His father, a former member of the Rock ANBU, was heavily disfigured and lost one of his legs in the same battle that claimed Senzous mother.

During his early years Senzou only knew the litel world that was the sculpturing shop of his father and the neighboring streets. But one day the boy saw a group of Rock Shinobi jumping from rooftop to rooftop training against each other. That was the day the young boy went to his father and proudly proclaimed he was going to become a ninja. At that moment his father jus looked at him, slapped him on the head and told him to go to bed.

For several years afterwards Senzou each day proclaimed his intention to become a ninja to his father, which in return only told his son to do different task for the shop, this process went on until the day his father placed a piece of paper in front of him and told him to sign it so he would be accepted into the ninja academy. Happily going to the academy with the knowledge his father had hardwired into him with their endless bickering and errand running, the boy started his life as a Shinobi.

Bio:
Day one: birth:
Airen Takara was laying in bed in agonizing pain. However she refused to cry out or show any weakness at all to the Doctor by her side. She had sworn to her husband as he left that she would be fine and if the baby was born while he was gone that she would make sure the baby's first sight of her mother was one of strength not weakness. let him see that he comes from strong blood not weak. Oh how she wished she hadnt said that, she wanted nothing more then to scream out to the heavens about her pain now. When was Kinmu Takara(her husband) going to get back? Why had the kage issued such a command this close to her due date.
"No, dont question the kage just make sure my baby see's strength not weakness" Airen whispered to herself as she pushed at the urging of the doctor....
Kinmu Takara was on patrol that day, having been sent out to make sure the rumors of a band of shinobi from Sunagakure near rock village was either untrue, or made untrue very soon. Oh why did they have to be moving now? How unfair for Me to have to be gone during this important time Kinmu thought to himself as he ran along.
So deep was his thoughts that he hadnt noticed he had run past the spot he was suppost to have seen the sunagakure shinobi at. He also didnt notice the four shadows suddenly following him over the hills. When he felt the blade slip into his spine was when he realised his mistake, for a second he just stood there looking down at the sword sticking through him before falling forward, never to see his child....
(back to Airen)
as she pushed one last time the baby came out, instead of a scream of pain most other women have she was clenching the bed sheets so tighty that they had a rip 3 feet long in them.
The doctor quickly cleans The child and wraps him in clothe before handing the baby to his mother, allowing her to find out for herself(as per request) the gender of her baby. However instead of unwrapping her baby to find out the mutter just smiled at her child and started humming a lovely tune as she hugged the baby to her chest and fell asleep in that embrace with her son. it wasnt till Airen got word of her husbands death, a week later, that she finally named her child: Gisei Takara, because of the sacrifices she made bringing him into the world.

Age 5:
It was a sunny day as Gisei ran out the door of his house happily. He always loved running around outside, but mostly he loved running around outside ALONE which after the first time he snuck out he had been severly punished for. "what if a missing ninja came and attacked you gisei? what then?" his mother would always say. so it was always during daylight that he went out, and always with his friends from around the village.
That day was supposed to be a fun day, he was going to sneak down to the academy with his friends to see what they do there. Oh they knew that that's where kids learned to be shinobi but what do they learn. It was Gisei's hope that he would learn something there that let him sneak out to be alone more often. However as he and his friends got to the academy and started running up to a window to peer through a man walked up behind them and spoke loudly.
"What have we got here? you kids wanna learn what it's like to be a shinobi? well you shouldnt. it's all death and working for others, no you should focus on just staying alive here in safety"
Gisei and his friends just whispered among themselfs before stomping off, the man just making them even more determined to become shinobi.

Masaru scared and confused. He didn't know what to think all teh peple in jail talking about him killing his parents. The time he spent in jail he had a hate growing in his heart as he swore to find the killer. Masaru spent tow years in jail, as the Tsuchikage asked to see Masaru. The kage said the kid can go free, all the anbu were fighting and said that he was killer nad shouldn't be let free, But the kage just ignored them andlet the kid go. Masaru is now 8 as he walks freely in the village. Everyone still has hatred for Masaru for the killing of his parents. (Kage might know something as he leted the kid go). Masaru lost and lonly he was living off the streets as, another member of his clan found him and took him in. His name was Kumaro Takara. Kumaro tought Masaru taijutsu, ad the ways of the clan and cared for him. He didn't seems to care about what Masaru did, like he knew. Masaru is now 15 and is a genin as he keeps training to become strongest in the village.

Dislikes Genjutsu or anything mind alterting as they unnaturally modify the attitude and behavior of an individual which provides inaccurate data on them

Bio:

Izuru was always a curious one, whenever he was threatened by a bully at the academy or grade school he'd eventually have that person crying out their life story to him as if he were a therapist. He was always interested in the reason for doing something "right" or "wrong" other than the common technique of indoctrination. He is extremely philosophical and dislikes using chakra as it dampers his mental ability if used too much. He specializes in hidden expressions wether they be a physical twitch in the enemy's nose or the a hidden difference in the tone of an adrenaline rushed ally. Curious enough Izuru lacks the ability to use more than an extremely small amount of adrenaline. He always remains calm and has never been known to get angry as his body disallows him to. His goal is a curious one, he wishes to find out the reasoning for the akatsuki's doing what they do, he knows there is more to it than "I want power" because there always is. Why do they want power? He asks himself this every day. He looks at the akatsuki as no more than a more intense version of the playground bullies he had broken apart emotionally so many times before. The only reason he would ever fight or involve himself in any aggressive behavior would be to gather information on a person so he could figure them out in every aspect there is. He also specializes in ninja info cards and keeps hundreds of them handy at all times, ready to make a new one whenever information is obtained. Some might ask what his "art" type is as every takara has one. His "art" is the gathering and compiling of data, not like an accountant but more like a spy. The ultimate completion of his art would be to create a jutsu that could gather all existing memories of a person , even inside a battle an without the target's consent, and compile it into an examinable object or into his own mind. Becoming an ANBU is the first step to getting close to the akatsuki which is all he wishes to do. Wether or not he will ever be able to right his series of book only time will tell.


(Request: If this character is made I'd like to request that he have a -3 to jutsu learning rolls for D rank, -1 to rolls for C rank, +1 to rolls for B rank, and +3 to rolls for A rank. This would be to respresent his tendancy to understand more complicated aspects at the cost of his inability to comprehend simpler subjects without over analyzing them.)
