RE: birth

[X]

Born as a child of scorn Hinoshi Tomaka was raised in a hostile environment, in place of his first toy he was given a kunai and expected to keep it to his person at all times. He was taken on small expeditions by his family into the lands that were outside of Iwagakure so that he could be shown the cruel world outside of the haven that he called a village. He was shown the brutality of murder and the silence of death, his parents branded these values into him at the youngest age he could comprehend such concepts.

During the beginning of the first war his family was killed in an ambush, destroyed by Konoha shinobi who lead an ambush squad. A crippled member of that unit was able to bring back this minor information so that their names could be put to rest. However Tomaka's heart was not at rest, but placed into a blood driven rage that sought out these shinobi. He would use this drive in his life during the first war where he was in a reserve unit that rarely was used. However due to the death of his parents squadron he was drafted for work behind the front lines.

Nearing the end of the first war Tomaka had made a name for himself for being one of the youngest shinobi in Iwagakure master the use of a long bladed katana, the nodachi Ginryuu left to him by his father. A blade of unique properties made of pure silver, a treasure to his family and now his only remaining memory of his parents. Using the blade it was common that he was able to fell two enemies at once using the length of the blade.

After the conflict was over Tomaka was assigned to duties that of a Chunin and brought along on missions to aide Jonin and other Chunin. The concept of an orphan was common during times during and after the war but Tomaka was seen as more of his own man for the way he was able to handle the loss of his family. As the time went on Tomaka's prowess had become well known amongst his own kin and that of his enemy, he was unnecessarily ruthless to his enemies.

Rumors of a second war were on the horizon causing more and more scouting missions out to the borders of Tsuchi no Kuni. Thanks to a stubborn attitude of Tomaka he was able to insist his team a lengthy scouting mission in a secluded area of no large importance. In doing so he was able to secure a large amount of supplies and intelligence regarding what an enemy nation already secured on Iwagakure's positioning and even scout missions. He had narrowed it down to a traitor amongst the recent scouting parties, with luck a captured soldier implicated the leader of his squad. The shinobi was put to death by Tomaka's Ginryuu, due to his success in the information attaining and dealing with the traitor he was granted Jonin status in replacing his Captain.

His fame during the war increased, as the time of the war went on he took part in campaign after campaign trying to put forward all the skills he had acquired over the years to battle his enemies and avenge his family. As the time went on the idea of revenge was not in his mind, it was merely the drive he had to impale as many bodies as he could on the Ginryuu, the blade that still shined brightly with silver even after meeting the blood of dozens of enemies. Even though the war was not theirs, Iwagakure still stood strongly as one of the five great nations and Tomaka a soldier under their contract till he chose to move his loyalties.
