I killed the dinosaurs. I sank Atlantis. I provided the Egyptians with the mathematical equation for building pyramids. I took Amelia Earhart on a little 'trip'. I am the reason you can't find the other matching sock. And I killed Mufasa! Just kidding about the Mufasa part. I'm not that evil. Oh yeah…enjoy the page.

Background:

Yuya is a war orphan found under the corpse of what are assumed to be his parents. He was estimated to be a little over 3 months old at the time. When found he was placed in the care of a group of medics who foresaw war orphans like Yuya. His growth progressed normally. No interesting traits or characteristics noted at the time. Yuya was given his name by the other war orphans. According to Yuya he was given this name because his hair was very dark. The surname Tobikuma was later adopted by Yuya from a close friend made in the orphanage named Kiryu (now diseased). At this time Yuya was characterized as being apathetic, quiet, a loner, and helpful. The orphanage came under the protection of the Leaf (after the wars settled). Shinobi operatives would recruit promising orphans to add to Konoha's military. Of the few chosen Yuya and his friend (adopted brother) Kiryu were among them. Talents seemed standard although Yuya was documented to have poor chakra control. Also noted Yuya demonstrated ample knowledge in all arts of the shinobi and possessed superb physical and mental prowess. At the age of 11 he graduated academy as a genin. Between the time of genin and chuunin Yuya's mission synopsis is as follows: 25 D rank. 8 C rank. 1 B rank. 0 A rank. 0 S rank. Total: 34. Successes: 32. Failures: 2. He was previously part of Team 8 however the team was disbanded after a failed mission. 3 of its 4 members were lost during this mission. 2 bodies were recovered. The third being Tobikuma Kiryu was never found. Yuya was the only assumed survivor. Shortly after this mission Yuya began displaying odd behavior. Notable changes include: use of sarcasm, interests in origami and romantic novels (seen with a different novel often). When question about the odd behavior Yuya's words were "I've grown to accept myself. Beyond that I don't think I've changed at all." At the age of 14 Yuya took and cleared the chuunin exams demonstrating extensive knowledge of the fundamentals and experience on a team. His covert techniques and abilities were noted as well. His promotion was recent therefore little has been documented about his performance as a chuunin. Background conclusion: A seemingly trustworthy and competent shinobi despite personality quirks.

Yuya's Journal

+Journal Entry 1

Today is cold very cold. There weren't enough blankets for everyone. I can't get too close to the fire place either. It's crowded. My birthday is next week. Everyone expects me to be excited. I've been at this orphanage for about 4 years now. I like it here. The children are friendly. The adults are nice and honest. It's nice even though I have no memory of my real family or name. I've moved on and grown to treat the other war orphans as my family. The medics that watch us too. They've decided to give me a name now. Before they just called me 'the new kid' or more recently now 'Midnight' because I was so quiet. I don't mean to be so silent. I don't know What too say most of the time. I don't like it when everyone gives me so much attention. It makes me nervous. Anyway today my real name will be 'Yuya'. I don't know what it means yet but I like it. Since I don't know my birth parents I don't have a surname. My friend Kiryu says he'll have a surname for me very soon though. Everyone is so generous it's practically the same as a family. Or so I would imagine.

+Journal Entry 2

Today Kiryu said he'd give me his surname and that we could be brothers. He's an orphan just like me but he remembers his family. They were killed by shinobi while traveling. Kiryu is 3 years older than me. He talks a lot. I don't mind it. I don't have much to say so I like that he does most of the talking. We met last year He was my first friend here at the orphanage. My full name is now 'Tobikuma Yuya'. Kiryu is my big brother as of today. Something else interesting happened today as well. Today they said the fighting as stopped. I think they're talking about the big war that's been going on for a long time. Kiryu and all the adults seemed happy. I guess I am too. No more fighting means that there won't be anymore war orphans like me and Kiryu.

+Journal Entry 3

I haven't had to write in my journal for some time but I figured I'd better start keeping a record as things are getting even more interesting. Today a 'representative' of some village came and had a talk with the orphanage head. He had two dangerous looking men with him. They are shinobi. In the orphanage we regard shinobi as demons. They say they'd kill anyone regardless of age, gender, or relationship. Even their own families. Shinobi seem to be very different. Kiryu says that they start out as regular people but then lose their humanity. They didn't leave for a while. It was almost dark when they did finally leave and the medics and staff that ran the orphanage looked unnerved. They started acting strange with the other orphans. More so the older ones like Kiryu and myself.
The representatives were from a village called 'Konoha'. It seems a deal has been struck with Konoha and the orphanage. The orphanage has been low on supplies even after the wars ended. Konoha offered to supply and protect the orphanage and the children. But in exchange they'd take some of the older children. Today two dangerous guys came by and started selecting kids. Kiryu says they're going to turn us into Shinobi. A lot of the children were scared. Myself included. Kiryu and I were chosen. This'll probably be the last time I get to write in this journal. They said they're going to make us into shinobi. I don't want to be a shinobi though. I don't want to lose my humanity or my family….again. Still we have no choice. It's for the orphanage and I don't want anything to happen to this place. If leaving my family means I can protect it well then my choice is clear.

+Journal Entry 4

Kiryu and I were admitted into the Ninja Academy. When we weren't in class we were being trained by other shinobi. All we did was wake up, go to class, study, train, eat and sleep. It was hard. I hated everyday of it. But I grew used to it. There were some kids like us but mostly all the others were young members of powerful clans. This girl named Mia is of the Hyuuga Clan. They have strange eyes and strange customs. I didn't quite understand so I asked her why her family was split in two. She said 'for power.' I didn't understand it but Mia was of the Branch Family which meant that she was treated differently, usually badly, than the main branch. Things are different here in this Shinobi world.
Today I graduate as a genin from the academy. It was my first attempt too. Kiryu had already graduated 3 years ago. I was a bit concerned that my erratic chakra control would prevent me from pulling off the clone technique. I managed to pass though. I demonstrated good use of the fundamentals. Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu . Though I lean more towards Taijutsu since it doesn't require as much chakra control as the others. Kiryu is actually a chuunin now though. He's amazing. I haven't seen him since he graduated. Today though we met for the first time in a while. He says he has a spot reserved for me and is thinking about forming a team. Apparently that Hyuuga Mia was already part of his team. He told me to think about it first. I am a shinobi now. But I still feel human. Perhaps the orphan's conception of shinobi was misconstrued. We're not demons we're soldiers. We protect and serve the village. Konohagakure is a village of peace.

+Journal Entry 5

My first mission concluded in a rather embarrassing failure. Despite that Kiryu and the others don't seems to regret anything. I see now that my perceptive abilities are of considerable value. Even Mia, a Hyuuga, has acknowledge my skill. It seems she's taken an interest in me. Her behavior is quite baffling. The other night when she invited me to dinner she invaded my personal space several times. She even attempted to feed me. I assumed this was some display of affection. I didn't wish to disappoint Mia so I began reading novels and excerpts to better assist me in my endeavors.I have begun to take a liking to them. My first attempt to return the romantic gestures was rather….unsuccessful. I ended up knocking her into the lake. She laughed though.
Meanwhile my training has shown that I need to better hone my combat skills and prowess. Sparing with Mia has resulted in multiple defeats. However each defeat was more enlightening. I began using blades that support my expertise. My stealthy prowess and perceptive ability are greatly complimented by the use of hidden blades. My chakra is erratic so I have to supplement my lack raw ninjutsu power with tactical and precise kill shots. This proved quite effective and has earned me a bit of recognition. Missions became easier to carryout once I figured out my specialty. Kiryu was impressed. He said I did well making myself a better asset to the team. It was strange to hear such a thing from Kiryu. It seems like he was measuring my use and seeking to manipulate me into a 'tool'. This was unlike him.

+Journal Entry 6

Communication with Kiryu has become strictly utilitarian. We don't discuss or converse outside of missions. He's changed. He's always busy and very secretive. I guess I can attribute this odd behavior to his promotion to the rank of Jounin. I've been spending more time with Mia but I do wish that my own brother would talk to me every so often. The last thing he said to me was that I was spending too much time with Mia and that I should devote all of my time to honing my skills and acquiring more traits advancing in the shinobi arts. It's because of this I went through the trouble of gaining an aptitude for Genjutsu. Even though he didn't seem pleased or impressed with my effort. His eyes are cold derived of opinion and prejudice. On a mission he requested that I take the kill shot. It was my first kill and my first B rank mission. It was intense, there was no room for error but I found that I was a naturally gifted assassin. Kiryu commend me on my technique. Though I didn't know how to feel about having taken a life it brought about praise from my brother and he spoke to me for the first time in a while. I was content. Mia seemed to think otherwise. As I progressed more and more assassination assignments came up. Even as a genin my skill was noteworthy and each assignment was a success. With each success I grew closer to my brother. However at the same time I grew apart from Mia. It has become easier to take lives. They're like targets more than humans. Just a task to be completed. The chuunin exams were approaching so I spent even less time with Mia training with Kiryu. He said it would be wise for me to partake. Even if I should fail the experience should prove invaluable in my endeavors as a shinobi.

+Journal Entry 7

My first assassination failure occurred the other night. With it Team 8 was disbanded. I solely attribute my ineptitude to carry out the task to the failure of this mission. A heavily guarded nobleman was the target. Kiryu and Mia ran interference while I would proceed to take out the target. Mia however was overwhelmed and found herself in a dire situation. Kiryu instructed me to carry out the assassination. Mia did as well but I couldn't. I was compromised and abandoned my task to assist Mia. But to my shock it was too late when I arrived to her aid. I lost contact with Kiryu next and I soon found myself under the pursuit of the nobleman's entire guard. I barely escaped. With Kiryu missing and Mia dead the team was done for. The day after I visited the Hyuuga Village. There was no morning for Mia's death. She was a Branch member and easily replaced. This began to bother me as days went on. I did not morn for the loss of my brother and close friend. At their graves I could shed not one tear. Even now as I recollect upon the tragedy I feel it inaccurate to describe it as such since I have no sorrow to attribute to it. I don't believe I am happy about it. This is odd. With the exams coming up I don't know what else to do but train and prepare for it. I am still going to take it. I don't know what else to do with myself.

+Journal Entry 8

I've tried several methods in order to coop with this odd feeling. I've picked up hobbies to distract and occupy my mind. Mia enjoyed origami. While I've mastered the art it does little to ease my confusion. Oddly enough though it does provide a bit of solace and helps me void my mind. I fear I'm changing the same way Kiryu had. I realize that ever since my first kill it's been hard to feel remorse for a 'target'. Shinobi don't see the world through the same eyes as humans. Even so nothing changes the fact that I no longer see the value in most things beyond orders. Somewhere along the lines that part of me faded. Mia must've noticed this. Like Kiryu I've become focused on orders and serving the village as a tool.
The exams begin today. No conclusion has been reached as of yet but I suspect that during the exams something will be revealed. I hope that is the case at least. This should be my last entry into the journal. For better or worse I shouldn't require it anymore. I forget why I even started it in the first place. Perhaps a crude forgery of the past I never had. Whatever the reason I regret nothing.

Personality

Yuya appears to be lax and rather easy going when not carrying out official business. He isn't seen with too many people often indicating that he's an introvert. He keeps to himself but is willing to answer any question he can and provide assistance if needed. He displays a bit of sarcasm at times and has an odd honesty about him. He's a loyal shinobi to Konoha and prefers to do things by the book. He has no digression between friend or foe when an order is given or if the objective is being compromised. This may make him seem a bit distrusting. He holds his feelings inside preferring not to let them out. All in all he's a soft spoken young man.

Appearance

Yuya is a pale skinned male with bleached blonde hair. His hair is a bit spiky yet it drapes with a bit of length. It's secured in the back with a small ponytail keeping others from gauging its maximum span. His eyes mimic the sky's everlasting azure haze and contain within them the aloofness of the clouds themselves. He stands at 5'6" well built for his age weighing in at 125lbs approx. and possessing an agile physique. His skin tone is even and fair making his youth very apparent and giving him a bit of an effeminate look in the face.

Yuya's attire varies depending on what he has planned for the day. Roaming around the village or carrying out a mission warrant his basic shinobi attire which includes: A fishnet T-shirt and thick beige gloves extending up the forearm. Black pants that tighten at mid-shin with kunai holster tied securely to the right leg and a small brown satchel slung around the waist serving as his tool pouch. Finally, black shinobi sandals worn upon the feet. Recreational activities warrant a basic shirt and shorts combo as well as training only the material in the clothing is thicker and heavier.
