OTHER ALIAS:
ALPHA OF KUMO | WORLDWIDE
Shortened from its previous version, Alpha Sage of Kumo, Mokuba is a man well deserving of his title His history with the wolves goes back long before his contract with them. He has earned this title through and through, and it has been carried with him through his many battles. He is a figurehead of battle, a wolf's head snarling at the head of a giant back.
BLUE FIRE WOLF | WORLDWIDE
A nicknamed partially given to the man for his ability to create a giant, flaming wolf. This title also reflects his fierce personality and nippy tongue in battle. He is known as the Fire Wolf by many across the world for his mix of Katon jutsu, wolf summons, and fiery attitude. He is also widely known for his potent, blue-fire chakra.
MOKUBA THE FRENZIED | KAMINARI
A title he is known for throughout the Land of Lightning for his fierce battle tactics and relentless assaults. Named for the frenzy that takes over him in the heat of battle, Mokuba fights almost as if berserk with bloodlust and fire.
HEART OF THE WILD | KUMO
Given to him for his love of all things nature. Mokuba has lived his life as one with the world around him. The Cloud Village has seen this first hand since he was only a boy. It is said that his heart was born from the ashes of the war, and bloomed in an attempt to restore the love of nature that was lost with humanity. He is mostly only known for his love of nature by those in the Village.
APPEARANCE
HEIGHT: 6'10" (210cm)
WEIGHT: 250lbs (113kg)
Mokuba stands at a towering six feet and ten inches of almost pure muscle. His life has revolved around an atypically harsh lifestyle. Not that it isn't by choice, the man's rough nature suits his life choices far better than the cushioned life. Tanned skin shows his love for the outdoors, and so too do his countless nicks and scars. These can easily be confused with typical shinobi battle wounds, but most originate with his roughhousing with the wolves.
His spiky black hair is usually very unkempt, falling to his face in a somehow handsome manner. His hair gives him a ruffled puppy dog cut, but his scarred face and fierce eyes only outweigh it with a wild air about him.
His eyes resemble a harvest moon, wide and yellow-orange or gold in color. He retains an abnormally focused composure matching well to his posture which is tense and ready. There is a slight adjustment to his step hints at the wild side within him. The jump in his step is untame and his movements are almost feral.
A scar stretches from the bridge of his nose and separates into two claw scratches as it reaches his cheeks. This was obtained by roughing around with the wolves as a child. He wears it proudly as it speaks to his origins.
When he expects heavier combat, Mokuba wears a traditional black gi using leathered pads for protection. He has learned to protect his neck from his years with the wolves and has grown accustomed to wearing a thick hanging pad around his neck that collapses into sections for ease of movement. His gear is decorated with a golden ribbon. Mokuba typically wears his clan symbol atop his arm guards.
Mokuba's training wardrobe varies just slightly from his heavier set. He wears only the black top, gray pants, a Jounin Flat jacket, his neck padding, and leathered arm guards on his shoulders, forearms, and shins His left arm has the same golden ribbon tied around it.
Outside of missions, Mokuba wears a black short sleeve shirt with a blue, hexagon patterned jacket. He wears khaki cargo pants and blue shin-high boots. His Village symbol is on matching blue fingerless gloves.
PERSONALITY
FIERCE
A clear origin of his titles. He is a force not to be trifled with. His fiery nature does not only refer to his fighting style but reflects a lot of his personality as well. He speaks with confidence and strength and pushes those around him to be confident in everything that does. He is abrupt and often blunt when annoyed, but his intentions are always for the better of that person's interest.
RESOURCEFUL
Coming from a rather harsh background, Mokuba has often had to rely on the world around him for survival. Making the best out of any situation in second nature to him. Whether this is in the heat of battle or making the most out of an already crappy situation, Mokuba is quick to come up with ideas that would benefit himself or those around him.
OPEN MINDED
Most would think that Mokuba's life with the wolves would cause him to be closed off from the rest of the world. However, it has taught the man just the opposite. He is accepting of all people, all creatures, and all things. Mokuba is open to criticism and ideas, and often encourages others to question his actions and decisions.
ENIGMATIC
Mokuba's views on life are out of the norm, but have always made sense in one way or another. Given that, he is just a tad atypical from his fellow shinobi. He does thing that others might view as strange, but it's simply due to how he was raised and what he has grown accustomed to. He words things oddly and oftentimes has a strange way of doing normal activities.
FATHERLY
A gentle giant, Mokuba is known for his easy to approach, fatherly presence. He is caring and wise and his experience shows in how he carries himself and his conversation. Mokuba is very protective of the children of his village and will do almost anything to keep them from harm. He believes strongly in their influence on the future and wishes to nourish that.
HISTORY
BORN IN BLOOD
War is often known to tear familiar apart. However, it was the Third Shinobi War that ignited the flame, signaling the start of a relationship between Mokuba's parents. During the Third Shinobi war, Konoha and Kumo were close allies. It was not uncommon to see couples forming in the midst of the battles. Blood did not discriminate between villages, and everyone lost someone, but there were special cases where battle brought couples closer together. The strength of some of these bonds was not easily broken.
Mokuba's father was Inuzuka Naganori, a strong Shinobi from the Village Hidden in the Leaves. He was sent to Kumo to assist in the war efforts, as a lot of Shinobi were. Kumo, in its rugged state after the death of several of its political heads, needed the strength of its allies. It was during this time that Naganori met a medical ninja residing in Kumo. Her name was Yoshiaki Ayame. After arriving in Kumo, all Konoha ninja required a checkup of their physical and mental health to assure they were fit for battle. Naganori arrived, and Ayame was his caregiver. Love affairs between two villages were discouraged in times of war. The focus was to be kept on the battle ahead. However, the two connected instantly, and there was no stopping the fire that was lit in their hearts.
Naganori and Ayame did their best to hide their relationship during the war but swore to each other that when the bloodshed ceased, they would find a way to make it work. Despite their efforts to hide their love, Ayame became pregnant with Mokuba after seven years of secrecy. Ayame did her best to continue to hide the pregnancy, even staying away from Naganori to prevent any backlash from their Squad Leaders. Ayame's belly began to show, and questions began to rain down on who the father was. Ayame refused to say and never did confess to who the father was. Mokuba to this day is unaware of his birth father.
Ayame was forced off of the medical team once she got further into her pregnancy. Mokuba was born late in the year as a healthy boy with already wild hair. He was born fierce and defiant--something that has not changed.
Only months before the war would end, Naganori was killed in combat, leaving Ayame and Mokuba alone. Grief-stricken and unable to care for the newborn, Ayame committed suicide, leaving Mokuba an orphan of war.
WOLF BOY
The war was over and Kumo was in shambles. Orphanages opened up around the country, housing any children left alone in the wake of the bloodshed. Mokuba had been sent to a small home of nearly two dozen war orphans or unnamed children. Luckily, before Ayame took her life, she left documents with the three-year-old boy she left behind.
Because Mokuba mostly took after his mother, his Inuzuka blood was never shown. He possessed very few traits of the Inuzuka bloodline. Because of this, he assumed the Yoshiaki name and lived under such.
With Kumo in a state of disarray, Mokuba, like most of the children left alone from war, was tossed around from one temporary home to another. The village did its best to provide for the children, but with little success. Many were left to fend for themselves, and many starved.
As if a kind act of destiny, fate, or whatever it would be called, Mokuba befriended a pack of mountainous wolves settled close to to the village. For reasons unknown to the village, the Wolves took an uncanny liking to the boy. It is perhaps because of his Inuzuka bloodline, but he bonded quickly with the wolves, often spending more time with them than the homes to which he was sent.
The wolves treated him as part of the pack, one female, in particular, taking a liking to him, treating him as her own. At only four years old, Mokuba's behaviors often resembled the untamed nature of the wolves. The wolves provided him with something that the village never could -- familial ties. It was something he had always been too young to remember. Only hints of his mother's hair and soft hands stayed in his memories. To Mokuba, the wolves were his family and the wild were his home.
Mokuba often would disappear from the village for days at a time, returning when absolutely necessary. This was such a continued behavior that the villagers stopped looking for him altogether by the time he was seven years old.
At eight years old, Mokuba was sent to another home. This one treated him quite well and even insisted that he enter that Academy. He showed a strong resourcefulness and overactive mind. The Academy proved as a very useful outlet for him. He was a well-behaved student, though odd if compared to his fellows. He received good marks, and jutsu seemed to come quite naturally to him. It was with ease that he graduated the Academy at the age of twelve.
ENTER : HEART OF THE WILD
As a Genin, Mokuba excelled more surprisingly than most of the village had expected of him. As he often ran about and was hardly ever seen, Mokuba was a surprisingly strong candidate for upcoming Shinobi. Before, most had seen him as a nuisance or a sad story. The orphan boy raised by wolves. It was now that they began to see him as an independent individual with a strong mind and capable body. Mokuba's kindness towards all others and love for nature gave him a unique face in the crowd of the Cloud Village. This quickly earned him the name "Heart of the Wild" among his village.
As a Genin, Mokuba especially befriended a pup that had been cast out from a pack nearby. It was a half wolf but straggling about, scrounging for food in the village. Mokuba saw himself in the pup and helped to nurture him back to health, giving him the name Ko. They bonded quickly, and are lifetime partners even still.
Mokuba's Genin team consisted of very capable young Shinobi. Despite this, their Squad leader made them wait a year before recommending them for the Chuunin exams. They were far more than capable of completing the exams. This frustrated his teammates, but only motivated Mokuba to work harder. Over the next year, the boy worked hard to improve his ninjutsu and studied hard on political affairs and national history.
The team waited another year before their Squad leader finally let them apply for the Chuunin exams. It was without surprise that the team passed with flying colors. They were all promoted to Chuunin at the age of fifteen.
ONE WITH THE PACK
A few years after their promotion, conflict broke out between Kumo and Shimo. Citizens of Kumo were brutally killed, sparking aggression between the two villages. Mokuba was not unfamiliar with war. Hatred spread like wildfire, and skirmishes broke out around them over the heinous acts.
During this conflict, some Konoha shinobi were sent to Kumo for odd and end missions like sending supplies or helping out with internal conflicts. It was then that Mokuba ran into a member of the Inuzuka clan who showed interest in his half-wolf, Ko, that was traveling with him. The Leaf Shinobi informed Mokuba about a contract with wolves and told him of a man who might be able to help him. Once the conflict had died down, Mokuba sought out the Shinobi and explained his passion for the wolves and his desire to contract with them. The man agreed to assist Mokuba but told him that if he wished the contract with the wolves, he would need to show them that he was indeed worthy. He received permission to proceed with the contract and his training away from the village.
After training for some time with the Sage, Mokuba was finally summoned to their land. It was there he met Yoko, an S-Rank Wolf Familiar, and leader of the Nothern Pack. She was a beauty befitting of her status.
Yoko saw the desire within Mokuba, but he would then need to prove his loyalty as a part of the pack. The young male trained mercilessly under their laws and in their way of life. In fact, he retained character and tried so hard that patterns of normal lifestyle became almost feral for him. After months of hard work and training with Yoko and the other summons, Mokuba signed the blood contract with the wolves. After a total of three years of training, Mokuba returned to the Cloud village with new found powers.
YOU THINK YOU DO BUT YOU DON'T
After returning to the Village, Mokuba continued the typical, Shinobi route, now twenty-two. He began doing missions again as usual and trained just as hard as he had ever done. Despite his new contract with the wolves, his life was quite typical in his young adult years. If anything significant came of his younger years, it was that Mokuba quickly became known for his strength and knowledge in summoning jutsu. His determination to master the art was well known throughout the village, and he was quickly seen as a strong up and coming Shinobi.
At the age of twenty-five, Mokuba was promoted to Jounin. His age, skill, and participation in missions and village affairs proved he was a valuable asset to the Cloud.
Only shortly after his promotion to Jounin, Mokuba met and fell in love with a beauty of the Cloud. Her name was Kogara Mitsuyo. The two fell hard for each other, the spark igniting while out on an A-Rank mission. They were ambushed and just barely managed to make it out with their lives. Mokuba and Mitsuyo were forced to hide nearby, barricading themselves in a small cave until their wounds could heal better. The two bonded quickly during this time and were an obvious couple by the time they arrived back in the Cloud. The young couple married only a year after they met.
With young love, there came only trouble. It was quite obvious the two had jumped their proposal all too quickly. Mokuba was unhappy as it turned out Mitsuyo was a tad on the the...unstable side. After only being married three years, the two split. He jokes about it quite often how he nearly drove him into a special sort of frenzy. Now, happily divorced, Mokuba tends to shy away from the dating scene. It would take a truly bright heart to make him sway.
ALPHA OF KUMO
After his divorce, Mokuba found himself isolating himself in his work. He was almost always away on a mission. It was tiresome, but it did have long-term perks. With his missions came notice from the higher ups. Mokuba had an alarmingly high success rate and remarkably low injury rate for his missions. There were several instances where the man went above and beyond the call of duty. Mokuba managed to retrieve vital stolen information from enemy forces, entering and leaving the compound with only light injury to hit unit. He proved to safely measure his missions and strategist the safest execution.
The now thirty-year-old was given the status of Elite Jounin by the Kage after his mission success to retrieve the stolen classified information and after a recommendation by his previous squad leader. It was an offer he graciously accepted. Mokuba took his title, but only under the condition that he be allowed to train further to master his Sage Mode, and then return with the title afterward. Though hesitant, the Kage accepted his request. Mokuba was reverse summoned to the Northern Pack where he began to finalize his training as a Wolf Sage.
Unchallenged by other contractors and respected by the wolves of the pack, Mokuba was given the title of Wolf Sage after three more years of intense training. During this time even developed some of his own Senjutsu. After his training was complete, he again returned to Kumo.
RETURNING THE FAVOR
The Kage requested that Mokuba fill as leader of the Squad 2 Genin after the sudden death of their previous squad leader. He would act as leader until another suitable person was able to take his place. Mokuba, under no obligation to refuse after being allowed away from the village so long, took up the position and began immediately. His squad was filled with quite promising Genin which he trained for several years. Things were promising until a plague hit Kumo with a devastating force. Two of the Genin from his team did not make it through the plague , and the third gave up his life as a Shinobi in order to provide for his family after the event. With the village slowly needing to recover, Mokuba was given a year break from leading a squad in order to help with the low numbers of Shinobi now present. He now waits to see which Academy Students will be placed under his care. Mokuba is also keeping a sharp eye on potential candidates for Wolf Sage Apprentice.
FIGHTING STYLE
Mokuba did not receive his titles for no reason. His fierceness in battle was well known across the Country. While fighting, it is almost as if Mokuba loses himself to instinct. He is not frenzied in a way that clouds his judgement, but his expression and fervor in battle is fiery and bares much resemblance to a threatened wolf. He moves quickly, swiftly, and accurately across the battle field, relying on the terrain around him to gain advantage over his opponent. Mokuba prefers to quickly gain upper hand in any situation, quickly finding the most suitable angle to approach his opponent. Finding a higher vantage point than his opponent is vital. He is very aware of his surroundings, and will circle his opponent before attempting to make his move.
Mokuba's taijutsu is the only average for his rank. If forced in hand to hand combat situations, he often relies on a hand-crafted katana given to him. The hilt is made of bone and shaped to resemble a howling wolf. He prefers to not rely on his taijutsu but can hold his own with a katana against a ninja of his level in Bukijutsu. If given the chance, Mokuba will attempt to back away from his opponent and switch to Ninjutsu, his strong suit.
A majority of Mokuba's jutsu consists of Katon ninjutsu. Known as the Fire Wolf, one of his biggest ace in the hole is his Fire Wolf jutsu. They are powerful and feared among many. His fuuton, his second affinity, is saved for close range attacks and used in conjunction with his Katon. His third affinity is Doton. He typically uses Doton when he is forced to battle at long range. If backed into a corner, Mokuba will then rely on his Sage powers. Once in Sage Mode, he relies most heavily on his Ninjutsu or Senjutsu
While in his youth, Ko assisted with Mokuba in fighting on a much larger scale. However, the wolf is no longer a pup and is unable to assist as much as he'd like. He will travel with Mokuba around the village and sometimes train with him, but a majority of the wolf's fighting has been worn down.
SAGE MODE
From years of training with the wolves, Mokuba has connected deeply with nature and gained the ability to gather nature chakra and fuse it with his own, creating Senjutsu chakra. Like most who enter Sage Mode, Mokuba's abilities are heightened considerably. HIs reflexes, strength, stamina, speed, and regeneration rate are increased. His Ninjutsu and Senjutsu are also more potent.
Mokuba's sage mode has not yet been perfected. In his importfect sage mode, his appearance changes. His eyes become more intense than their normal hue, almost seeming to glow in the dark and reflect the light around them. The whites of his eyes also turn black. The canine teeth grow, sharpening to a point, and his nose will begin wrinkling upward in a natural snarl. His nails begin to grow slightly forming thick claws, and the hair on his body grows just slightly. His posture becomes more feral and untamed and his voice deeper and almost carrying a growl behind it.
In addition to his natural abilities to track, Mokuba's Sage Mode also gives him the unique ability to sense chakra up to 60meters. He is able to memorize chakra's that he sees and can give direction and if moving what speed they are going.
Mokuba can only use Sage Mode for three posts per meditation.
HUMAN TRACKER
Whether it is due to his Inuzuka blood, his history with the wolves, or his unique connection with the world around him one can be unsure. It is quite obvious though that Mokuba has very heightened senses. His response to a stimulus is quite strong. He is able to smell distinct changes in the air, even to the point that he can predict the bad incoming weather. He can differentiate subtle things such as common poisons and what ingredients are in a select dish. His hearing is also heightened, able to hear extended distances. Because of his years living in the forests, he is a master of tracking and hunting.
MASSIVE CHAKRA POOL
A giiven with Mokuba's Sage Mode his the depth of his Chakra Pool. With an already large chakra pool, his Sage Mode gives him what most would consider a very scary debt of chakra. While is control of chakra is average for his position and age, his pool is large enough that for the most part he doesn't have to worry about running out, at least in smaller fights.
GOLIATH'S BODY
Unnaturally strong and durable, Mokuba is quite fit for his age and size. His years of training in the wild with the wolves has given his body excellent shape giving him increased speed, strength, stamina, and durability. With his already tall and naturally muscular body, Between his size and the build of his body, Mokuba is known well for his brute strength.
SOUL OF FIRE
Mokuba's natural Katon affinity has always seemed more potent than most. The flames of his jutsu are so intense, that at times they can appear blue or even white in more emotional states. This has led way to his title the Fire Wolf, which he is widely known for in addition to his jutsu in which he creates a fiery wolf of pure, blue-white flames. The man's innate soul of fire allows him to perform fire-based jutsu with just one hand seal.
INTENSE CHAKRA
There is a unique feel to Mokuba's chakra. His chakra gives off a potent feeling of furiosity that others can feel. If he were to build up chakra, those around him can almost sense eyes of a hungry beast staring at them. It can strike fear in those who are much less experienced in battle. This has greatly attributed to his title Mokuba the Frenzied.
