Looks
Tasuke is a tall, lean-built but slender young man. He has short, messy brown hair, which reaches just over his shoulders, and red eyes. His attire varies on what he feels like wearing, but he usually wears a white shirt with an assortment of different kinds of trousers. His arms and hands can be found covered in bandages which he likes to his his Dark Release Mark under, they will still work and when active will glow through the bandages.
As Skulduggery he wore a suit like Attire, a white shirt under a black blazer with some details on it and some plain black paints which he sometimes keeps as Tasuke. He has also been seen wearing the white shirt under a long coat with a red scarf wrapped around his neck - he now combines this with his Kazekage look when wearing the hat. As said he wears whatever he wants and because he lives in Sunagakure, he sticks to light clothing sometimes and even ends up wearing very little as the heat is straining. His bandages are always around his forearms.

Personality
Tasuke is a Free Spirit at heart and tries as hard he can to push the boundaries surrounding him, he knows how to have fun, but he also knows when to be serious and mature. Tasuke is a caring individual and loves his friends and family to a point he will die for them. He can be quite mischievous especially when it comes to playing games, his favourite types of games are card games and his favourite card game is Crib/Poker; he has even known to offer his enemies to play Cards instead of fighting, saying he'd forfeit if he Lost. Tasuke is also a big flirt when it comes to girls, he will always try to make a move on them even if he's fighting one - most of the time he does it for fun and sometimes it pays off.
If he is pushed, Tasuke's temper can be horrific and has been known to become 'psychotic', even after defeating an opponent with this temper he has crippled them and put them through torturous pain after defeat - he once did it to his own fellow squad member. Once he has been pushed to this temper, it's hard to get him back out of it - sometimes he uses this temper to his advantage. For example his Cursed Mark Level 2 Phase, he will let his temper out himself and whilst in this stage he becomes even more powerful.

Background Information
Tasuke
Tasuke was born in Kirigakure and was named by his Father, a great shinobi with great talent and access to the Elemental Kekkei Genkei Dark Release. Tasuke's mother was a Yuki, but never practised her Ice Release capabilities being a peaceful woman. Ge was the only child until he was two years old they gave birth to his younger sister and named her Clary. The four of them lived together peacefully, there was no feud between them an Tasuke loved his little sister, he tried to teach her everything so that she would excel as a Shinobi and as a person. His Sister became very close with her father she seemed proud to have such a skilled and kind shinobi as that figure in her life, but did this change somewhere? Tasuke would ask himself this question later in the story. Tasuke in his spare time didn't study too much, he was more practical and got his Father to teach him Archery a field he had been interested in ever since he was little - he spent a lot of time doing Archery instead of studying which his mother scolded him for, but he never forgot to teach Clary more and more. She had learned so much, in school she was ahead of everyone and in the same class as himself, it made him proud. But pride is a sin.
It was here where Tasuke would question himself, it was here where his prideful self would be shattered. "The House is on fire", that was all he could think in his head as he saw it coming back from hunting. Tasuke ran towards it, it was typical of him to trip halfway because of his panicking, he reached the door which he barged through and there he saw it. His father was on his knees and a hooded figure stood before him with a blade to his neck, "No!" words did not stop the blade as it cut him down and the walls were painted red. The hooded figure looked towards him, and he will never forget this moment, the moment he saw her looking back at him, the moment his own sister had betrayed them. He was knocked out cold from a part of the roof collapsing near him, a wooden beam lowering enough to hit him on the head.
He was saved from the carnage and dragged to a small village, where his mother was, also safe. He never did tell her what her saw; even though he wanted to, wanted his mother to hate her like he did at this moment and time. He didn't. He knew it would break her more than it had done. They decided to leave Kirigakure behind them and went to Kumogakure.
Darkness in our Hearts
Tasuke and his Mother docked at the Land of Lightning, there Tasuke met a Shinobi named Gin Ichimaru (Better), and this meeting led to Gin teaching Tasuke more advanced Ninjutsu - including Wind, Fire, Lightning and Water and more advanced Taijutsu. Whilst learning under Gin, Tasuke had discovered that he could use the Element Dark, inherited by his father and there and then he decided he would use this to avenge him - after he finds Clary. Gin hadn't the knowledge to teach this special Kekkei Genkei as he didn't possess it.
Tasuke left for Konohagakure, his mother stayed in the Land of Lightning under Gin's protection. The Journey to Konohagakure was a long journey, but he had his old Bow keep him company the way there. He would hunt Deer, Boar, Bird - all sorts for a meal to keep him going until he reached Konoha. But first he made a stop off at Amegakure and met a Shinobi named Ushiro who taught him more techniques to add to his knowledge, whilst he was there he also learned how to perform Rain Ninjutsu. He set off for Konoha once more and to his displeasure ran into the ANBU of Konohagakure whom overpowered Tasuke and took him to the Hokage. Tasuke told him of his business, though Leaf Shinobi claimed he be a spy for another village, despite these accusations the Hokage let him be taught under Castiel (Nathan). It took Tasuke a while to completely master Dark, but he did and had earned Dark Tattoos on both his hands at the age of 18. And that's also when he met a girl that would clear his mind of the hate.
Till Death do us Part
A Beautiful Shinobi of the Leaf Village with the greenest eyes, a name Tasuke never tries to think of in his present state. The two had ran into each other a couple of times when he was around the village with Castiel and had talked, it was clear the two liked each other and became friends very quickly, after Tasuke had mastered Dark Release and was trusted to be in Konoha alone without Castiel the two become more than friends. Love. At the age of 20 they were married and living in a cottage outside of Konohagakure, surrounded by fields.
His Wife had left him a note in the Cottage telling him where she was, she was in the fields that surrounded him, the specific location was labelled as "their first kiss" and of course he remembered. He took with him some flowers, he thought it would be a romantic touch, he walked out to the field, getting closer to the location, the long grass was flat over there, 'she must've been lying down' he thought. Thought. His heart hit the floor in sync with the flowers he was holding, she was cold, so cold. He felt gagged, he tried to scream but nothing came out, his eyes didn't blink, he was frozen, like her, but not like her. He fell to his knees, the shock shattered away an the realization flooded through him, overflowing through his eyes. Tasuke held his wife in his arms and set there for what felt like hours, crying, despairing and hoping.Darkness overtook him, he murdered, slaughtered - became infamous. He knew exactly who had killed his wife, the Ice Rose was unmistakable, his mother had created them for him and his... Sister, it was undoubtedly Clary. He searched and searched and killed and kill. Nicknamed Lord Vile and he rampaged for weeks, months. Vile was eventually tamed by a man named Malevolent, became his mad dog, they crippled villages and tore apart lives. Lord Vile was killed and Tasuke along with him, before being abandoned in a ditch he had been bitten and upon his neck the Curse Mark was given to him.
He felt dead, but wasn't actually. His life dragged on. A Ruin. He decided to conceal himself and start over. He constructed a Mask that would look like his face was a Real Skull, he wore gloves, a hat and sometimes a scarf and of course he wore a variety of different Suits which were majestic. He took on an almost false Persona though he did have aspects of his own in there and took the name Skulduggery Pleasant. Tasuke had learned to be more Calm after his incident as Vile, he became a very convincing Skeleton looking man and people didn't recognise him as who he once was.
Sunagakure's Skeleton Shinobi
Skulduggery became a Shinobi of The Village Hidden in the Sand, proving his good intentions to the Kazekage Mockingbird. In this village he met a lot of Shinobi; Urahara Kisuke(Tsuki), Dexter Vex, Yoruichi, Mayuri (Alpha), Kuroh, Ulquiorra (Mudo), Kirikoe, Gaara, Makarov (Jokey), Guren (Rojuro), Jio (Shady), Rex (demon fang), Hao (Reaper), Rogue (Wind), Asch (Teno), Black Star (Cursed Prince) and his good friend Albel. Skulduggery became a Teacher under Daenary's (Coyote) watch when she became the new Kazekage, he taught many shinobi that came in from all different villages. He taught shinobi's named Deviation, Alucard (Skorm), Toshiro (Edward) and Ashitaka (Penguin) - there were many more students, but these were the ones that stood out to him.
He also travelled to teach, but also to just visit villages. He visited Kumogakure to see his mother, but he did not speak to her, he kept his distance and just made sure she was doing Okay. He met with the current Raikage at the Time, who was Gin, he did tell him who he was and it was a reunion long coming. Whilst in Kumogakure, Skulduggery met Ichigo (Ciberr) and befriended him when he spent his time there. There was also a Shinobi that Skulduggery nicknamed Franky (Loki), these two became very good friends, sharing similar experiences in their past. They didn't let the fact that they were from two different villages harm their friendship - Franky in the future even spent time in Sunagakure.
Through Yoruichi, Skulduggery Met Akasha, Dean (Detective L), Hazama (Kerrah!), Roy (Erzo). Though he had found an interest in the mysterious Akasha - whom had a dark past, much like his own. Skulduggery had been pulled onto a few of her little schemes and adventures, they never went well and always ended up with people getting hurt. But he couldn't help it. Skulduggery went on many adventures with Akasha or with others, he became known as the "Skeleton Detective" as he had solved mysterious and stopped schemes that could have caused mass chaos. Though even as Skulduggery, the past did not cease to haunt him.

Skulduggery heard word, and this message changed him, revived Tasuke. It was word of his sister becoming Mizukage, it angered him, if they had heard of what she had done would they have elected her then? At first he plotted to assassinate her, but no, that would've been too quick and they need to learn her true colours. She needed to suffer. Tasuke dressed as this Skeleton travelled to The Land of Water in secrecy, hooded himself, and picked his target - one of the well populated outskirts villages. It was close to the water, wasn't hard to use Ninjutsu to flood the place, and it's exactly what he did, if you had asked him what a life was then he would have answered with nothing. He had no remorse, he even walked through the puddled village to find the suitable spot. There was a man, could've been a husband and father, he didn't care, but he used this man to forward his message. Tasuke had kept this ever since then, the Ice Flower, he placed it on the floating man's chest and crossed his arms over - it was then that he could feel his tears begin to arise, but not because of what he had done, because his whole history flooded into his mind, his family life had been perfect. And now a ruin. Why did this have to happen? This Flower, the last of his hope went into it, he had dried himself of it, and abandoned it. When he eventually returned to Sunagakure, He became Skulduggery again, whom remembered none of this and his adventures continued for a while longer.
A Cursed Revelation
The Skulduggery Pleasant Façade lasted for 6 years. But it was fading, Tasuke was healing and coming back to life, but also the power of that Cursed Seal was growing, every time he used it, the Seal damaged his Façade as the darkness of his past flooded through him. Though he was learning to control the feelings, the hurt, it didn't affect him as much as before. But he still hated her. He could never forgive her.
Skulduggery went out to meet a Konohagakure shinobi, they had visited earlier on good intentions, we offered our hospitality and it was well received. But this time was different. Skulduggery talked with a Shinobi named Edward Elric who eventually attacked him, but this kid would learn that no good comes out of betrayal - he was skewered by a Kunai right in the lung, going through some pain before being burned to a crisp. There were more Konohagakure shinobi, but had been intercepted, instead Skulduggery's attention was focused on this hooded figure. The figure claimed to not be with Konohagakure and they had both talked for a bit until Toki arrived, a fellow Sand Shinobi. Skulduggery told him to go an brief the Kazekage on what was happening, giving the metal arm of Edward Elric to him as like a trophy. But Toki didn't, thinking he'd catch him off guard the Skeleton countered quickly and killed him in an instant before he could even regret his actions. Skulduggery turned back to the now revealed woman and apologized for what she had to witness and talked about how he could have been spared, coming to an agreement of sorts. She introduced herself as Lucia Valkova and asked for Skulduggery to accompany her and amazingly he agreed, he had never done anything like this in a long long time. "I'm taking your acceptance of my offer as a promise. I will be disappointed were you to break that promise." He left a note on Toki's body and left with her to the Land of the Moon.
They talked a lot, about Skulduggery and some about herself. On his way there he found out that her actual name was Lexi Blades, and she had found out his real name as well. They talked about his mask, she made him think a lot, and his old self was healing, the Façade was breaking. The Mask represented that, and the crack that accompanied it. They rested over night at Lexi's little base - in the morning he met her new appearance, it was very red and she let him choose the destination this time. After all that had happened yesterday, he though it was only right to return to The Land of Water. Where it all began...

Deep Red, Eternal Blue
The two arrived in The Land of Water, one of the outskirts villages surrounded by forest. In the forest there was a clearing with a building, can't really call it a building any more as it was half burned to the ground. Skulduggery walks up to the entrance, Lexi did too, but she allowed him some time to himself and took a nap on a fallen tree. Skulduggery enters the building, ducking under a wooden beam and stands in the middle of the ruin, the light shining through the building onto him - he stood there in though for a little while, thoughts swirling through his head - he was going through change. When he finally came to, he wandered the house, going into a new room where he spotted a burned up piece of paper with a drawing on it; he recognised the drawing immediately. That was the final push, he pushed his hand onto his mask and forcefully cracked it do it fell from his face, revealing his crying eyes.
Tasuke. Crouched above Lexi's head, looking down from above woke her up with the sound of his voice; of course she reacted by waking quickly, holding her Sai to his neck. They both stared into each others' eyes, Red and Blue, Deep and Eternal...

She relaxed herself and removed the blade from his neck, realising who he was, they both stood up and introduced themselves once again. Tasuke had found his old bow, he was surprised it wasn't ash by now, but it's quality was still pretty decent, needed a good paint though. He had also found a letter that had been left here, it was about his mother and the news wasn't good, Lexi was there to cheer him up however.
The Two left for the Village nearby, Tasuke was pretty nervous as he hadn't shown his face in ages. Hopefully he wasn't recognised or they could get into trouble, he was an ex-criminal after all. Tasuke got some new clothes from a store, it was a Green & White Kimono with a sash, it was pretty comfy and decided to keep it from then on. The two then visited the Hot Spring but not before Lexi transformed again - though Tasuke didn't know that this was her real form, no one was there at the counter and it seemed really empty - so they both snuck in, stripped, jumped in and relaxed. The both talked for a while about themselves, a bit of flirting here and there, but mainly talking about themselves. Tasuke's past was pretty dark, he tried to stay away from his sister and his life as a criminal - then Lexi suggested something. A Water game, first one to get splashed by water would win; they got out and used their Water Release to manipulate the hot spring water, both had to stay on one side and couldn't cross the middle. Whoever won got to ask the other of anything. The Game began, but it was short lived, Tasuke from then on began to think that she let him win the game but still didn't know why for sure. His request was to see her real appearance, but she already was as her real appearance, this made him smile for some reason.
The two eventually left the hotspring, Tasuke got back into his Kimono. They had one final walk together around the outskirts of the village before Lexi was informed she had to return to the Land of Moon. Tasuke was sad, his first true friend in a long time was about to part ways with him - they shared a long embrace and she slipped away from him, he didn't want to let go. He almost couldn't and ran after her again, hugging again, a firmer and more loved filled hug as he realised it was going to be a long time till their next encounter. Finally they parted, a few tears from him as she walked into the distance again.
Nine Lives Tasuke
Tasuke decided that it was best for him to make a temporary Skulduggery Disguise himself and so he did. He did this because he had to travel through konoha and he couldn't risk being caught and executed by their ANBU. Sadly however, this didn't work when he ran into an Old Man who possessed the Sharingan and saw straight through the mask - taunting Tasuke. Then it began, wood shot out of the earth and tried to grab Tasuke - but he countered it with lightning much to his surprise that this old man could use the famous Mokuton.
The Battle went on, Tasuke managed to use some Dark Release and his opponent kept using Mokuton. The Terrain was changed and Danzo unleashed a humongous Attack that Tasuke managed to get passed. They even got into Close Range and had a stand off with Taijutsu and Kenjutsu, it was intense and Tasuke managed to land a hit, but so did Danzo. Tasuke was suddenly Paralysed, he couldn't do anything in this position - his cursed seal tempted and called to him. He didn't want to. But he had to. He unleashed the first level of the Cursed Seal and darted at Danzo to kick him down, but he was ambushed by Mokuton which dragged him away. But Tasuke still managed to get around it, further pressuring him with more Taijutsu and added power from the Cursed Seal. They were still pretty evenly matched as Danzo unleashed a strange style of Taijutsu on Tasuke, even though he recognised it it seems that the old man was proficient in it. He had no choice but to fully unleash the seal to Level 2.The Mark Ripped through his Disguised and showed Tasuke for who he really was for his very strong opponent. He grew wings and his hair was much longer than it usually was, Danzo tried to close the monster awakened in a forest of wood which Tasuke easily evaded and flew over setting the forest alight which Danzo stood among, but the old man had other ideas and shot towards Tasuke through the air using his proficiency in Wind, stabbing Tasuke right in the gut with a wooden spike. Tasuke cursed but returned with an attack from a Katana made of Dark which Danzo sort of dodged by taking it to the shoulder instead of any vital organs, the wound was still pretty deep, and then he began to grow the wood from inside of Tasuke. It was a good thing Tasuke reacted quickly to the pain of his wound expanding and turned to water, falling to the ground below and reforming. He darted for the cover of the Trees and Danzo did too, being exhausted from his ability wearing off and the wound that he tanked.
Tasuke held himself up against a tree as his Hair grew shorter and the Curse Mark Faded. He took out two Kunai as Danzo faced him opposite with a Scimitar of Wind. Tasuke smirked and knew this was the final clash, throwing a kunai at Danzo and running forward; the old man dodged the kunai with a stumble and also moved forward towards Tasuke. But as one final attempt Tasuke dropped the other kunai and performed a hand seal as he fell to his knees, fire erupted around the kunai that Danzo tried to dodge. The Kunai stood still in the air and pointed itself towards Danzo from behind, exploding and sending the blade deep into his back.

Danzo stumbled and fell forward, his blade pointed towards Tasuke, but he couldn't die here, he had to chance to live through this and took it. He used his dark mark to absorb the wind from around it and grabbed the blade that the wind was wrapped around, he stopped it from stabbing him whilst Danzo collapsed against the Weakening young Shinobi. Danzo then fell to the side. A wind swept through the forest rustling the leaves and pulling one free from a tree. It carried it looping through the air until it came into view above Danzo. He reached up, his vision starting to blur. The leaf gently fell into his hand before once again being picked up and carried away by the wind. His hand fell to the ground, vision fading to black. Tasuke breathed heavily, looking at Danzo. It was an intense battle and someone was going to die, it was nearly both. Tasuke spat more blood, he kind of didn't want the old man to be dead, they had as much as they tried to kill each other had somehow bonded through this fight. But the outcome was inevitable, blood would have been spilled, and it had to be. Tasuke collapsed and blacked out. Damn. He thought he was going to live, he still had the will to live, but there was blood everywhere and he couldn't feel his legs, other body parts were shutting off as well. And then he woke up.
Tasuke was in a tent and outside sitting next to a fire was a Masked Man with Dark strange eyes. He had stitched arms and was a Shinobi of Konoha, Tasuke sat beside him, holding his stomach in pain, but it seems he was saved by this man. Knight, that's what he called himself for now - and he said that he observed the fight between him and Danzo and also found out that he was also from Konohagakure and was part of a secret organisation called Root which commanded the ANBU. Kakuzu knew about Tasuke's fights but thought he would be useful to him, and so by promising to clear his name he would work for Kakuzu in his time of need. So they did, together destroyed Tasuke's record of his crimes as Vile. Even though Kakuzu was a shinobi of Konohagakure, he had bigger plans and Tasuke would help with these for the future.
Black, Dark, Exhausting and not Meiton
Kakuzu Took Tasuke to the Land of the Mountain, West of the Earth Country and North of the Wind Country. They went up into the mountains and talked on their journey. They found a mine and before they go too deep inside of it Kakuzu gave the Sand ninja one instruction after giving him a Pickaxe. That was to Dig. And so Tasuke did it. Kakuzu left him for a month and Tasuke just kept digging, he found a lot of things whilst digging that wasn't just rock - it served as some sort of entertainment and accomplishment. Tasuke ate rats that he could find for food and hadn't seen daylight in ages, Kakuzu however eventually returned, but that wasn't the end. The Masked man took the Sand Shinobi down deeper into the mind, where there were boiling hot furnaces still active and instead of digging he made him shovel. And so he did. Being left alone again. Tasuke used the coal that he had dug up before as he had a lot of it, shovelling bunch by bunch, he took breaks and slept through the night, but most of the time he shovelled.
Kakuzu returned again, but this time he proposed something. Tasuke however joked with him, asking who he was like he had forgotten - Kakuzu wasn't really amused. There was a final test and Kakuzu summoned a monster born from the shadows and flames, the Balrog of Morgoth, wielding it's flame sword and whip which came for the Sand Shinobi. Tasuke was told he could only use Fire and Earth, so he turned the earth below the Balrog into a Swamp so that it would be trapped and hopefully extinguish it's flames but it was too powerful. So using the Swamp he summoned Hydra, a mud dragon which jumped on the Balrog, it's mud pouring all down the Balrogs body. So Finally Tasuke used a powerful fire technique to cook the mud, making it hard so that it would encase the demon in a shell.

Though that wasn't enough to beat the sheer power of the Balrog as it broke the shell, shattered the shell and it freed itself from the hardened mud. Tasuke tried to fight off the Monster with an Earthen Golem of his own, but the Balrog simply took on the properties of fire and avoid said Golem, progressing further towards Tasuke. He had to move to get an advantage, he ran towards an opening on the other side of the room they were in, this lead to an even bigger area and it was beautifully crafted. This place was abandoned yet held such beauty it would probably be thought impossible if he told stories of it, humongous pillars ran down the entire span of the open area which would take days to walk the area of. Though he'd have to survive this encounter first. He face the opening he had come through and waited with his Katana Yurei drawn into his hand, the earth began to gather and collect around the blade, giving it a coating of earth as the Balrog smashed through the wall in front of Tasuke with great force and roared as it charged towards him. Tasuke brought the Hammer of earth formed around his blade around ready and then he shot up using an earth pillar to launch him up over the Balrog's fire slash. Tasuke then brings the hammer down over his head and increases the weight of it drastically, crashing it into the top of the Balrog's skull - the earth shattering, but even that wasn't enough. The Balrog pushed himself away, leaving Tasuke surrounded burning ash and was to set it alight and blow Tasuke up. Though he wouldn't allow this. Tasuke made a platform of chakra that sprung him towards Balrog, making another three afterwards that shot him towards the Balrog in a zig-zag like manor and made him even faster; upon reaching the monster his fist radiated with wind chakra and he punched the beast in the stomach in an attempt finally destroy it. The Balrog made an armor to protect itself in the end, it blew up in contact with the wind and send Tasuke flying back whilst being wounded by the flames, the Balrog was also damaged but not as damaged as it would have been by the Wind Taijutsu.
Tasuke struggled to get to his feet, but he managed it in the end, he needed some time to gain his strength, but he wouldn't completely. His adversary was difficult, but he couldn't give up now. Four hand seals were made and from the Earth and army of soldiers rose riding horses, Tasuke stood on the back of one of them with his hand rested on the Earthen Rider in front of him as the Rohirrim Charged at the Balrog. The soldiers shot a barrage of arrows whilst Tasuke shot 8 explosive fireballs which rained down upon the monster of shadow and flame, though the Balrog wouldn't die to this and shot at the horses, swiping them up with his flaming sword whereas Tasuke used the heads of the soldiers as stepping stones to get away. Again it was just him and the monster, this fight seemed like it was never going to end. Tasuke watches as the great Balrog rises from the pit which he had though he had trapped the monster in, but again he had failed to slay it. He let out a long sigh, though it could be said to be more of an exhale as he had inhaled again right after. The Monster flew towards him with it's big flaming wings, in an attempt to try and ram Tasuke into the ground. He reached around with his right and flicked open and pocket pouch sealed by a button, the pouch was cylindrical and held a scroll which Tasuke reached for delicately with his index finger and thumb - sliding it smoothly from it's sheathe. The Scroll now within his Right hand, he also reached around with his left hand the same side his right hand went and grabbed the opening of the scroll, gently peeling it whilst channelling chakra through it. Then with the Balrog now getting very close he revealed the scroll and whipped it open, a large flaming dragon shooting from it's tapestry as it crashed into the Balrog and forced it away, exploding and turning the monster into flaming debris. Tasuke finally defeated the Balrog, coming close to death, he was patched up and fed so that he could be given training. Kakuzu taught the Young Shinobi a new way, a new element comprised of both Earth and Fire which he will take from here and use out there. Mueton.
Upon Leaving the Mine, Tasuke Had a Diamond Necklace that he crafted himself as a Souvenir for being in the mine. The Diamond was only small, but it would fetch a good price - though he'd never sell such an experience. Between here and Sunagakure, Tasuke spent a lot of time with Kakuzu and when he did finally get back to the Village Hidden in the Sand did a lot of catching up.
Bloodless Revolution
A Storm had begun in Konohagakure. Tasuke was contacted whilst guarding the Gates of Sunagakure by a 'Knight' through the use of a messenger bird. Tasuke knew that it had begun and jumped over the wall, travelling through the Desert towards Sunagakure's Waterfall bridge where he would meet the Masked Man that had took him in and the Hokage of Konohagakure that had followed closeby to Kakuzu. However it wasn't quite the reunion as Kakuzu was now disguised as some sort of Priest, so Tasuke kept his cover in tact and took the two of them into Sunagakure to go and speak to the current Kazekage.
The Priest and Tasuke took Nathan into an abandoned house and gave him two Suna Shinobi as bodyguards as they went to check with the Kazekage to see if there weren't any hostilities, since he turned up without warning. However it was just a ruse as Kakuzu made a thread clone and made it transform into the Hokage. They went to office and it was empty, so the Fake Hokage took a seat in the chair and Tasuke remained sat on the Kazekage's Balcony, the Priest stood at the door and they waited. Then there was singing.
Elise the Kazekage Stand in was Knocked Unconscious and Tasuke walked over to him as Kakuzu lifted his Wind Assassins from the room through it's windows. Tasuke crouched down by elise and cradled her head, wiping any memory she had of having an official role in Sunagakure, and he cried.

Kakuzu took over for the moment as the First Officer and Peace General of Sunagakure entered the office, Tasuke took Elise to the Swamp Dock south of Sunagakure in the Land of Wind. Kakuzu officially declared Albel exiled, and made the village bend the knee, there was no death and it was quick and quiet - most of the villagers had no idea what was going on.
Meanwhile Tasuke had arrived at the Swamp dock, it was a long journey there and Kakuzu would sort a lot of things out before he got back. Tasuke went to his old friend's house who knew him before Skulduggery and during, the two had never lost contact. His friend was a tailor called Ghastly who designed Skulduggery's suits and complexion, he was married to a woman called Tanith who was an ex-mercenary and still a master swordsman. They talked about Elise and the events that had transpired except that Tasuke was more subtle about his role in it, he asked for the couple to look after her and they both accepted. Before he left for the Village they both gave him a hug, Ghastly nearly broke Tasuke, he was never good at hugging.
It had been a couple of days since the Revolution and Tasuke had returned he half expected it to be in chaos. But it wasn't. He returned to the mansion and the Hokage stood there with Kakuzu, there wasn't any true hostility to begin with, but Tasuke didn't care for that and was already stood in front of Kakuzu who announced and declared the next village leader. The Jūsandaime Kazekage of the Village Hidden in the Sand was to be Tasuke. The Thirteenth Generation Wind Shadow was to be him. Not that it was a surprise...
The Thirteenth
Tasuke now led the Village, with Albel gone and constant daggers from Yoruichi, he barely had anyone but the Hokage to talk to. The Hokage had decided to stay for a bit, he was still angry about Kakuzu, but Tasuke had been told to keep John here and so he tried his very best to persuade him to stick around. Kakuzu then appeared in the Kazekage mansion as an Astral projection, he asked for the Hokage's forgiveness and told Tasuke to prepare the troops for the coming battle. He told the Hokage that if he was still angry that he would be accompanied by Zetsu either way who stood in the room with them and then Tasuke made his way towards the Main gate after making an astral projection of himself above Sunagakure telling the War Force to meet at the Main Gate.
Much to Tasuke's Surprise he was joined by John, there two talked on their way towards the Gate about the heat and how it was difficult to get used to. It really was an advantage for Sunagakure if they were to be attacked. Tasuke then inquired about a man named Castiel and it seemed that John new him very well, that he helped out with his Kage duties when it came to paperwork - Tasuke was glad he had a position of authority, knowing he was a good Teacher as he was his when in Konoha.
The Two reached the Main Gate and Tasuke offered him some Cool Water, something Sunagakure had plenty of for travellers - he should have offered him some sooner however and apologised for it. He then made his way up to the top of the Gate and addressed those who had gathered to prepare;

Two Shinobi jumped below with crates, one filled with Flak Jackets and the other with Konohagakure headbands. Tasuke explained the fallback scenario in case their attack failed the targeted village should attack Konohagakure and be met with Akatsuki to destroy one another which would be beneficial to the Leaf Village, however he firmly believed they'd win this battle. The Sand Prepared to March.They Reached the Land of the Rivers and set up Camp, Jiraiya one of the Sand Shinobi had reported Amegakurians in the area using his Toads. Natsu Uchiha (Pervy) and SiWang (Oraan) Went ahead to intercept the shinobi, feeling confident they could take them. There were 5 Opposing enemies ahead, however one of them was actually not on their side and had betrayed them - attacking two Amegakurians whilst SiWang took a Short Spikey haired looking fellow (Vegeta) and Natsu took on a Tougher looking shinobi (Howard).
Kakuzu had later arrived with two Men he took into Konoha, it seemed his plan to Join Akatsuki was a success as Tasuke noticed the ring. He gave John and Tasuke a scroll to sign for the empire that he had planned to form from the start, from the moment he picked up Tasuke and saved him. He had planned this far ahead, Tasuke already had his answer - he owed Kakuzu a lot and was on board. He allowed John to think and left him with Kakuzu as he went back to Camp, ordering the the Shinobi to begin moving towards Amegakure as the shinobi in the Land of Rivers had been intercepted.
Tasuke had no Idea Clary was also in the Land of Rivers...

Other
Wind and Fire Speciality
Tasuke was taught by Gin Ichimaru (Better) of Kumogakure who later became Raikage. They were good friends even though they were from two different villages and Gin trained Tasuke in most of the skills he knows to date, almost being like a personal student. Tasuke can perform Wind with only one hand seal needed and can perform Fire hand seals much quicker than the average Shinobi.
Dark Release
Tasuke Originated from Kirigakure and has the capability of using the Kekkei Genkei Dark Release element. With this ability there are Dark Tattoos that come with it, Tasuke has one located on each hand and so can used Inhaling Maw through both of them or use techniques like Netherworld Gates which require both marks. He has one more mark, this one is located in a completely different place, this one was located on the flat of his tongue.
Taijutsu and Kenjutsu
Tasuke has a great proficiency in Taijutsu and has always liked Close Combat, being a Master in it he gains some additional strength and speed than the average shinobi. He carries two short swords which are strapped horizontally onto the back of his waist with one hilt sticking out on either side so Tasuke can easily draw them into both hands.
Ese-sha ☯ Hypocrite
Tasuke's Custom weapon which he also carries with him, Sometimes he wears it on his back with the hilt sticking over his right shoulder. This weapon is used for the Fighting Style Reaper of the Cards being made up of many black cards with various inscriptions on them related to the Fighting Style.
Type : Weapon
Rank : B
Range : Short - Mid
Chakra Cost : N/A (+20 on Summoning)
Damage Points : N/A
Description :
Hypocrite Is a Sword made up of these Chakra Enhanced Metal Cards, the cards a black and have very sharp edges and can cut like a Katana would that's why they work so well as a sword together. At the user's will he can release the Cards from the sword, meaning they would all fall apart from the sword and onto the ground. However by swiping the sword forward and releasing the cards they can all shoot forward as a barrage up to Mid-Range. There are 40 Cards that make up the Sword and they can be released at one at a time or in barrages of 4 cards, these cards act like normal Kunai and Shuriken and can replace them as such.
The user can draw blood and swipe it across the crossguard of the sword, this will summon more of the Cards to form another sword if the previous cards have been used and have departed from the hilt. Forty are summoned again when this is used. This summoning does not have to be used, the Cards can return to the sword and reform because of the passive ability to be able to manipulate the cards given by the Reaper of the Cards Fighting Style.

How it kinda would look except the Cards will have inscriptions on them like ordinary playing cards.

Tasuke after teaching himself when trying to survive alone without tools and only some Ninjutsu when he was little, became a proficient Archer and had Crafted his own Bow and arrows. He later was gifted one by his Grandpa a former Shinobi who used Archery as well, The Bow was made of white wood and the arrows matched, with a fletching of Dark Green and a sharp silver tip. Tasuke sometimes doesn't carry his bow with him.
Barnacle Tattoo
Tasuke has the Tattoo of the contract he signed with Barnacles, it is found around the top of his left arm like a shoulder sleeve Tattoo. The tattoo is used instead of the summoning jutsu as an easier and faster way of summoning his little helpers. The tattoo looks like this :

Kuchibashi
Tasuke has a Generic Pet with him ever since becoming Kazekage, he uses the Raven to deliver messages but it's still only a Generic Pet. Kuchibashi or Kuchi for short understands Tasuke and he can commanded through voice and hand movements. Tasuke took the injured Raven in when it returned with a message from a unknown source, the message was more of a will and the person who owned the Raven before hand was probably dead.
Cursed MarkTasuke gained his Cursed Mark of Earth whilst in his Phase as Skulduggery Pleasant, the actual mark is between his neck and shoulder (like Sasuke's) but on the right side and is in the shape of a skull missing the lower Jaw. When the Cursed Mark spreads it is black and seems as though his face is shattering like glass. In this state Tasuke is usually pretty psychotic because of his horrific temper - though he has been known to use it as an aid in battle.
His Cursed Mark Later upgraded to that of Level 2 after his Phase as Skulduggery Pleasant. When in this form he is at his most angered, though he doesn't show it as his expression is calm or he has a psychotic smile on his face. His skin becomes a much darker colour and his red eyes don't change, his hair becomes a much, much longer and darker brown with hint of red almost like a maroon colour. Tasuke grows pair of demon like wings which allow him to fly and also his Tattoos from his Dark release heritage leak a small Dark chakra which surround his arms up to the elbow, strengthening Tasuke's punches by being able to cause small amounts internal damage when landing a hit (still can be countered with freeform).

Reaper of the Cards
A Fighting Style he learned under Black Star, a fellow member in Sunagakure and a good friend, despite their differences. Black Star put the progression of this fighting style under Tasuke's care as he left Sungakure and his life as a shinobi to live a peaceful life elsewhere. Tasuke is known for using this fighting style and because he is a specialist in it he can use it's full potential, the style allowing him to passively control the Cards of the Joker and also the Cards on his sword Hypocrite as long as they are within Mid-Range.
Ninja Tools of the Berserker
Tasuke carries a variety of Ninja Tools being a Shinobi he has pouches with explosive tags, flash bombs, smoke bombs. He carries Shuriken, Kunai and Senbon too. He carries Ninja Wire too which he uses mainly for his 'Dance of the Blade Sage' Fighting style, which corresponds to the two short swords that are strapped onto the back of his waist horizontally as they have loops at the end of the hilts so that he can tie the wire to them and then manipulate the blades for the Fighting Style.
Though there is one other thing Tasuke carries, a secret sort of weapon, a strange mixture of mushrooms that most definitely isn't some packed lunch.
