You ever wonder what lay above the clouds? Where the sky’s the limit and nothing can stop you?
Well, I got to find out.
I was born on the outskirts of Kaminari no Kuni, but unfortunately for me my mother died during childbirth. It was just me, my father and my older brother of five years. The three of us eked out a living for a few years until my dad got a lucky break when I was three, and we all moved above the cloud line, to Kumo. Shiro joined the Academy, dad set up a weapon shop instead of just a traveling cart, and me? I had my fun in the street, making friends, picking pockets and having fun.
Five years passed, my brother was a Genin, my dad was one of the most respected blacksmiths in the village and I joined the Academy. I gotta tell ya, on the first day I thought Kawariimi was the greatest thing in the world. I mean, who wouldn’t want to get out of any kind of trouble and leave a hapless log to take your place? It was so, well, fun! My time in the Academy passed without incident, my brother got a promotion to Tokubetsu Jounin, and my dad’s shop got even bigger. My dad even had a live-in apprentice; the guy was like another brother to us!
But, tch, the peace was not to last. Ya wanna know what came soon after I graduated from the Academy?
If you guessed an army of purple flying hippos all singing “It’s A Small World”, you would’ve exceeded the level of what did happen on the Nightmare-o-meter, but that’s not what happened.
War came.
My training went into overdrive; all Genin teams were put on standby and were given skill evaluations every couple of months. By the time Kumo entered the war, I’d improved my skills enough to be promoted to Chuunin ahead of the rest of the team. My performance got me recruited into BAKEMONO, an elite group of the ANBU. Seems I was good enough for them, and I wasn’t about to prove them wrong at the young age of thirteen.
During my time in BAKEMONO, I grew close to some of the members, namely one Hitsuki Saoru. She was like the big sister I never had, a mentor that I could look up to. She helped me deal with the trauma of my first kill; after the first week I could actually sleep the whole night through without running out of the tent, room, whatever and coughing my guts out onto the floor.
And then an intel leak made us break up. Luckily for me, I got placed under Saoru once again in the Close Combat Division, and continued serving with her for the rest of the war.
And then word came from Kumo: the Sandaime had disappeared, and when I got back to the village I learned another horrible truth: whatever had made the Sandaime disappear had taken my brother with it.
We found his corpse three days later, five miles outside the walls of Kumogakure. He’d been running info back to the village and slaughtered like a lamb.
It was a dark time for me, but I had Saoru helping me through it once again. And then she became the Yondaime Raikage… and took me as her student.
My name is Tendō Kai, and I am the Chuunin apprentice to the Yondaime Raikage.
