A juggler disowned by his own clan, he has found a path with the bloody nation of Kirigakure. While struggling for finding his place, he deals daily with those issues that any other shinobi has to face.

✯Background✯

+ Show

Kitaru Gansao grew up in the rather peaceful area of the Land of Rice. As they weren't a major land of contention with the other nations, they did not have a lot of strife there. With both of his parents being Shinobi, it was expected Kitaru to go far within the ninja world. While he had an excellent mind, it became known early on that he was weaker than the other ninja children. The reason that Kitaru was able to continue training was the Fukumune at the time believed that Kitaru would make it past the test.

The world changed for Kitaru at the genin exam. Parents, extended family, were all proudly waiting outside of the academy as Kitaru went through the trials. Again and again, he wasn't able to properly do the moves they were required to do to graduate. After 3 hours, the administrator of the test gave up in frustration and failed Kitaru. His world shattered as everyone turned their back on him. Parents, grand parents, the whole clan refused to even acknowledge his exsistance. Crushed and humiliated, Kitaru fled the land of rice.

Wanting to get as far from that world as he could, Kitaru created a small boat and headed out into the sea. Wanting to get lost and removed from that past, he was caught up in a storm and almost drown when his boat capsized. Forunately, or un, depending on how you look at it, he happen to wind up wrecked on the shore of the main island of the Land of Water. Taken in and nursed back to health in the village, he had a lot of explaining to do on how he got there. Breaking down, he explained his issues, how he wasn't able to complete the test to the Gansao standards and as such had been exiled.

Taking pity on him, the village allowed him to enter their academy. His strength in genjutsu was cultivated to the point where he was able to use juggling of the mirrored balls to manipulate people into doing what he wanted. After that one year delay, he went into the graduation cerimony for Kiri, coming out ahead of everyone else as he kept them from seeing him until the end. The last person standing beside Kitaru couldn't deal with the genjutsu tearing at his mind and collapsed a gibbering mess.

Kitaru continued to work hard from that point, getting a bit stronger physically, while mentally he made major strides in his capabilities. Having recently been charged with the responsabilities of a chuunin, Kitaru is now working to further the cause of the Kiri village. While there are a lot of hostilities from the other hidden villages towards Kiri, that doesn't stop him from doing his best to forward their cause.

✲Personality✲

Kitaru has recently gone through a paradigm shift. While he use to be friendly and easy going before, now he is solemn and often moody. He's also had some fits of rage, however most of that seems to stem from his Kekkei Genkai.

✯Appearance✯

Tall at 6', this teen looks slightly lanky. Dirty blonde hair falls fairly unkempt around his face, framing a piercing set of sky blue eyes. There seems to be a certain intensity to that gaze that shows a wariness of the world much more than his age would suggest. He has a Kirigakure protector on his forehead. While wearing close to that standard outfit, fitting shirt and pants that give plenty of room for movement as well as the chuunin vest with the extra pockets, Kitaru has an extra strap that goes diagnally across his body. This strap seems to have a series of different colored balls within them, each ball having a mirror that pivots inside of it. When the ball spins, the mirror seems to stay focused on one spot, allowing manipulation of the image within it. There are also extra wide pockets on both legs, that with enough watching of Kitaru, show them to hold hand mirrors that are larger than the balls.

✲Relationships✲

Friends/Allies

Name	Relationship	Notes
Meruin Okumo	Teacher/friend	Kitaru calls him friend, although is unsure if it's recipicated. They train together, Kitaru treated like any other Okumo experiment to push him just as hard as Meruin was pushed.
Aoitsuki Shirayuki	Friend	On a similar path of awareness as Kitaru, she has given him some guiding assistance that stopped his travel on the path of rage.
Kiku Kayuga	Friend/Student	When not picking on Kitaru for his wording about his fights with Naru, Kiku is a trusted ally as well as a student in learning the art of Genjutsu.

Enemies/Rivals

Name	Relationship	Notes
Narusegawa Uchiha	Rivial	Has dealt several crushing defeats to Kitaru. Almost set him on the path of rage with her comments at the end of one of their meetings. Kitaru has grown enough to become a true rivial for Narusegawa as he fought her to a stand still on their last meeting.
Tsiro Kaguya	Rivial	Kitaru using genjutsu has been a thorn in Tsiro's side. The Kaguya fighter is not out right hostile towards Kitaru, however they definitely are not on a friendly relationship.

Greetings Journal,

They say that writing down thoughts can help transform potential confusion into clarity. While I have never taken this to heart really before, I figured this is as good a time as any to start. So we are on level grounds, Journal, I am Gansao Kitaru. I was kicked out of my clan due to being 'inferior' to what they deemed capable, I was left to die at sea on a boat. The winds of fate, as they may be, dropped me off on the shores of the Land of Water, within sight of Kirigakure. A bit of a trip, an explination of what's going on and they allowed me to stay. I finished my learning within this land, a certain savagery could probably be seen to me when I am on a mission.. but ultimately, I have kept to being me.

Now that we're closer to even footing between then and now, I should probably write a bit more about the present. When I first started, I saw there to be.. paths. Different shinobi fight in different styles. If you figure out a shinobi's path and use the weakness of that path against them, you'll never lose. Meruin-san, an Okumo that was an amazing tutor and guide for me as I started to flesh out my reflective genjutsu, showed me that a path of neutrality is never truely possible. While it can stand in a theoretical state, it does not survive reality. Emotions, reflexes, a lot of things get in it's way. One of the paths shown to me by a Konoha nin I've come to learn is called Narusegawa is the path of passion. Use the emotions to fuel the fire to make the fight go your way. This almost sent me on the path of rage.. almost. Afterall, I was upset that I lost, even had my Dark Cloak reveal itself.. and.. lost. It has been a tough road, Journal.
Aoitsuki, a Shirayuki that has taken an interest in my capabilities from when I first become a chuunin on, helped me to not go that path.. It doesn't fit what I do. The truth is not blinded by emotion.. and emotions ruin the truth.

What path do I walk? That's simple Journal. I walk the path of the Truth. This truth is reflected in the mirrors I wield like others wield kunai. That will be all for this time, Journal. Until next.

Greetings Journal,

While it has been some time since I last wrote, it is ultimately still the same as before. This is a spot to put down thoughts.. There are a lot of people who have been showing improvements and influences on the world. Indeed, one of those people is myself. I have managed to obtain the secret rank of ANBU. I am a guardian of Kirigakure.. It was after an interview with Kaguya Takeshi, who seemed to know what he was talking about and not at the same time, that enabled me to be called on for such. While I have not had to go on a full on mission for them, I am not an asset to Kirigakure, beyond that of just another chuunin.

It seems one of Aoi-san's cousins have also recently graduated from the academy as a genin. She has a lot of thoughts for someone who has seen illness most of her life. I can't really blame her. In the end, I wished to be free of my own limitations, as such, I see a lot of myself in Sakuryu. It's just a matter of seeing her past the limitation nature has put, to turn into a strong shinobi like she could be.

We have also recently obtained a genin from Konohagakure. This was definitely unusual, as those from that land seem to stick together fairly well… Irony, that I could of gone there, as much as I came to Kirigakure.. and yet, I would not trade it for the world. However, I do digress. Chiaki-san is a confrontation beast fist user. This clan is based off of a seperate energy, they label it as 'ki' in the library. Where my strength is with my seals and genjutsu, hers seems to be focused within the abilities she obtains by mirroring that animal, the snake, that is her calling. It does make me wonder how many variations they might have in that clan.

Kaguya Kiku, a fellow shinobi of Kirigakure seems to have stepped up on her capabilities. She has attempted to meld three different styles into one form. It's been interesting watching her develop her abilities. She has also seen troubles of the heart it seems, as there were quite a few times I've seen her be close to a traveling medical person.. although this hasn't been recently. Often, I'm at a loss for how to handle her exactly. So much blood lust in one person.. and this seems to extend from the fact that she was once the runt of the litter. Well.. the runts being nurtured are the ones to watch for.. they have to push the hardest to live when young.. and that makes them all the stronger when they grow up..

I will have to continue this another time, Journal. Until then.

Greetings Journal,

The ability to put thought to paper does give some insight into the thoughts themselves. Going over past entries, I can see a sort of evolution of the steps my thoughts take, while digesting situations. From then to now, it does help a lot with changes.

Recently, Kaguya Keisuke has been killed.. The one that did it was of the Hyuuga clan, as told by the eyes.. I'm not sure exactly what all had transpired, as I was kicked hard enough to break my arm in one shot. It would of been worse if I had not blocked with my arm, I'm sure. The kage himself went to see them in Konoha.. it sounds like a massive situation, although I was still hospitalized, so could not assist. In the end, restitution was obtained and the one who did it labeled a wanted criminal by both villages.

The wife of Keisuke-sensei, Kaguya Yuukai, was able to receive his sword. It's a massive thing and is fairly impressive she can even wield it. She is also forming a group to go after those who are in the bingo book. Bring the people of crime to justice.. or something like that. I've not seen them through the reflection of my mirrors, so it is hard to tell for sure. In the end, we capture, detain and remove those who wish harm on Kirigakure. Since this is always something I seek to do, this works well for me in being accepted into the group. This gives me a public front to do what I have been training to do anyways.. stop those who would threaten Kirigakure.

As for myself, I have started to reach the height of what the Mirror Edge can do.. There is only so much more I'll be able to put into it before it will be the edge that people have to face their truth at. I've also been learning how to use the Dark Cloak as a full on tool, rather than a support, including latching onto enemies and drawing their very power from them. This will be important, as my control improves, adding to the Cloak while in combat will help to mitigate the power it takes to control others with the Mirrors.

Until next time, Journal,

~Kitaru
