"The story of a forgotten child beings here..."
[/blockquote][/blockquote]初め
The beginning…
Abandoned at a young age, orphaned at a local home just on the outskirts of Iwagakure no Sato, in Tsuchi no Kuni; this was the beginning of Iriai Enkaku. As Enkaku was told by the elders of the orphanage known as すそゆず Rosuto “Lost” his mother and father were well accomplished Shinobi, his mother, A Jonin from the hidden Waterfall Village and his father, gifted Shinobi from Tsuchi no Kuni and member of the infamous Iriai known for the secret clan Hijutsu; the two died attempting to save Enkaku from raiding bandits whom attacked their residence in the mist of night.
One of the elders from Rosuto was a good friend of Enkaku’s father ちる Iriai Kansei “Trapped” whom entrusted the life of his infant son in her care at the orphanage. From a young age Enkaku showed signs of a future Shinobi, always on alert, strength leadership skills, and a strapping kindheartedness that only was surpassed by his own raw talent. The elder whom name was ちるロヰヅ Mu-Nraito “Moonlight” was the first to notice the untapped potential of this young prodigy and wouldn’t all a misfortune that he himself was responsible for effect his future so as a young ling Mu-Nraito would take Enkaku under her wing teaching him to fundamentals and basic training for a Shinobi until he was of proper age to enter the academy in Iwagakure no Sato.
At the tender age of six after two years of basic training beside Mu-Nraito he and Enkaku packed their belongings and lift eh orphanage in care of the other two elders as the two moved into the Hidden village of Iwagakure no Sato and soon Enkaku would discover his true calling as a Shinobi. Once settled into the village Enkaku would instantly be enrolled into the Shinobi academy as he would begin his first day of class only a week after his moving into the earth metropolis.
As Enkaku entered the Iwagakure Shinobi Academy he would find himself in a totally new environment from what he was used to at the orphanage; all the kids at the academy, gifted in their own right, Enkaku’s fellow students were more adapted to the arts of the Shinobi ways and this was what Enkaku wanted to be as well. After spending two months in the academy Enkaku soon began to fit into its compound, seemingly with ease surpassing most students in study as well as basic combat tactics; Enkaku especially excelled at the Shinobi arts of Ninjutsu as well as Genjutsu, these two combined capabilities allowed Enkaku to alone become a well accomplished Shinobi and with that in mind he’d continued to practice his skill so that one day he would become what he wanted so badly.
As time faded away and Enkaku became a common and humble citizen of Iwagakure so did his talent as Enkaku’s own skill increased drastically, the transition from the orphanage to Iwagakure no Sato at the point was the best thing that would have happened to Enkaku and without a doubt he was sincerely grateful for this opportunity. After four (6) years of attending the academy it was finally time for the young genius to meet hid fate as it was almost time for the Academy graduation and final exams, these two aspects alone left Enkaku with a sour feeling in his stomach but a warm flame in his soul, now it was time to see where his training has directed him and if he’d passed he would soon be a official Shinobi of Iwagakure.
For the next two weeks Enkaku would push his muscles and mind to their limits as he forced the knowledge and skill needed to pass the final exams into his body and mind, now it was time to test his own boundaries. After a ling nights rest and a great fulfilling breakfast Enkaku without hesitation made his way towards the academy as he would soon face one of the hardest obstacles in his young life, the Graduation Exam.
Once entered Enkaku was directed towards a small room which dwelled in the back of the academy, their he along with a number of students would take part in a written exam, this portion gave Enkaku a sense of what was to come for the future section of this exam, with great ease Enkaku finished his written exam and was escorted to another were he would stand face-to-face with officials of the village as well an a unknown proctor. The final part of the exam was to display the three common jutsu that must be mastered if one even had hopes of passing the exams and becoming a Genin of Iwa, after a few moments of displaying all three techniques Enkaku waited until he was asked to leave the room and wait for the results in which he acknowledged and soon fled the room in complete and utter excitement as well as disbelief, he was so close to his goal and all he had to do now was wait…
After sitting in complete silence for a few moments as his legs shuck back and forth and his arms shivering from curiosity Enkaku was greeted by the unknown proctor who examined his jutsu presentation as he was told the results of his Graduation exam. After shaking hands Enkaku’s eyes widen as he was handed an official Hitae-ate and from that moment branded as a Iwagakure Shinobi, Enkaku had finally accomplished the first step to becoming what he so desired. For the next few months Enkaku would continue his original life as a citizen only increasing his popularly around his village awaiting the time were he could actually prove his skills to a higher official so that he could do more then just the ordinary.発見
The discovery…….
Now beginning the realistic gradient into the life of a Shinobi, Enkaku would mature within his progression. Now twelve and a full fledged Shinobi of Iwagakure no Sato, it was time for the youthful scholar to learn the history behind his inheritance. Returning home from a strenuous day of Shinobi preparations and unit ceil placements, Enkaku would be greeted by Mu-Nraito whom sat in his timber rocking chair, holding a scrolled manuscript within his furrowed hands. Unaware of what was to come; Enkaku as usual expressed his blissful qualities as he immediately gave the elderly man an ostentatious hug, followed by the demonstrative conversation which was centered on his day.
Seventeen minutes proceeding Enkaku’s arrival home, the optimistic youngster had finally finished his succinct description of his day; Mu-Nraito, with a grand smirk on his face would soon inculcate Enkaku to set on the ground in front of him and without question but inquiring thought, Enkaku did so as instructed. Waiting for a few moments, Mu-Nraito continued to smile as he noticed the inpatient but curious idiom on Enkaku’s face as he waited to hear what the elder had to say. Placing both hands together, Mu-Nraito would gradually unfasten the scroll which one rested in his hands as he then held it directly in front of Enkaku.
“Enkaku my boy, as you may know that I’m not your father, rather your guardian but I think its time for me to detail the surreptitious behind your ancestors as your father instructed me to before giving you to our orphanage.”
Mu-Nraito spoke in a moderate, yet tired tone of voice as Enkaku intoned himself into the new sparking conversation. Though aware that he was orphan, Enkaku however wasn’t aware of his clan’s history and thus made it the main objective at the moment to gain all that he could from Mu-Nraito. After hours of decisions, explanations, and thorough breakdowns of selective topics; Enkaku had gained a great deal of knowledge from the scroll and Mu-Nraito of the history of his clan. However the next secret would be the one that would possibly change Enkaku’s life forever.
“Enkaku, do you know why your father choose me to act as your substitute guardian?” Mu-Nraito spoke, “Well I’ll tell you why, who would be better to take care of a children in their parents absence then their father’s parents?” the room was now filled with a silent tone until Mu-Nraito would seemingly break it with his next remark.
”Enkaku, I’m your Grandfather..”
After breaking the silence, Mu-Nraito wouldn’t be surprised if Enkaku was now filled with confusion, and anger. However the emotions that ran threw the young Shinobi were quite the opposite; after the huge secrets was revealed, Mu-Nraito would forcibly be thrown from his chair as Enkaku hopped onto him in tears. After all these years of life, Enkaku thought that he was the only member of his clan which once placed a void in his heart. However now knowing that he had at least one surviving relative, that void was now filled with pleasurable memories of the two and expectations for greatness.働く時間
Time to work…
After two weeks of preparations and basic run-throughs, and skill analysis, Enkaku along with his teammates (異様, Odd) Iyou, and (美しい, Lovely) Karen, and there Jônin instructor, (青空, Blue sky) Aozora; the four would begin their duties for the village of Iwagakure no Sato. The four man ceil would take part in numerous low-level (D-ranked) missions which usually consisted of village volunteer aid. Enkaku being the level-headed one of the three Genin besides Karen was quite accepting of such diplomatic missions as retuning mislaid pets, and cleaning the village in terms of rubbish obligation. However Iyou was considered the rebellious one, always making matters much more difficult for the four, leading Aozora into situations were he’d have to defend the actions of Iyou’s disobedient behavior; Karen and Enkaku could only giggle at the matter.
When not attending to daily missions and typical training sessions with his squadron, Enkaku would spend his days taking part in rigid training sessions with his grandfather to not only learn his clan’s secret Hijutsu and skills, but to become a proficient user if not master them. To Enkaku’s surprise, his grandfather was the one of the many few to have mastered their skills along side his father; it was now Enkaku’s mission to become to third generation of his intermediate family to not only learn the techniques, but master them. The training was indeed difficult, however Enkaku’s strong will and determination to become better the usual not only inspired him to strive harder, but also inspired his grandfather to better prepare his only grandchild for the dangerous future which was destined for all accomplished Shinobi.
Six months into his Genin lifestyle, Genin and his team after accomplishing a number of low-ranking missions was finally given their chance to prove their worth by accepting a new mission (C-ranked], issued by their current village leader. The mission was simple, however held great importance for Iwagakure and its trading market with other hidden villages. Enkaku, Iyou, Karen and Aozora was hired as body guards to escort a group (seven) merchants to the hidden leaf village with a shipment of mercantile goods from Iwagakure. The night before however, the four Shinobi would celebrate their first team C-rank mission, Aozora sipping on Sake and Iyou failed attempts at sagging it from their sensei as Karen and Enkaku founded water and tea. It was quite evident that the two were close and Iyou could only find this nothing other then funny which was indicated threw his consist generation of humorous jesters followed by Karen and Enkaku’s immediate denial to the assumptions.
While on the mission for the most part, things were quite smooth; the group was nearly almost to the Konohagakure and nothing had intrigued intervention for the shinobi, however this wouldn’t last. Two days before their estimated arrival into the village, the group was attacked by a band of rouge Shinobi who somehow grasp importation to the whereabouts of the shipment in attempts to kill everyone in site and salvage the shipment for their own use in the underground markets. However the Shinobi would soon take evasion action to defend not only the shipment but the helpless crew who were need to port the goods.
The battle between the two sides would soon begin as Iyou, Karen, Enkaku, and Aozora would begin to fight the bandits. Aozora being a elite Shinobi was expected to need no aid in his section of the fight, however Iyou, Karen, and Enkaku would have their difficulty on their part. Making quick disposal of his opponent, Aozora was instruct his time to hang in their until he successfully secured the crewmates and shipment While doing so, Iyou and Karen would handle one of the rouges as Enkaku was facing one single-handedly.
For the most part, Enkaku was able to at least fight on par with his opponent, it was odd to say the least; the bandit being older had arguably more experience their Enkaku. However that didn’t diminish the youthful genius’s natural talent and kill. Iyou and Karen also showed great skill as they were able to fend off their opponent while Enkaku handled his. From afar, Aozora kept sneaking a site at his students as he continued to save the party of seven. His expectations for his squad has far exceeded anything that he imagined, to think that his team was this skilled, but not only that; they displayed critical corporation between each other and effectively expressed proficient use of the basic Shinobi proficiency, if not more, truly insightful.
As the battle raged on, Iyou, and Karen had finally defeated their foe as Iyou used his combination of unorthodox sword-play and his progressive Taijutsu skill, along with Karen’s proficient use of Genjutsu. On the other hand, Enkaku still hadn’t defeated his opponent. It was most likely that Enkaku’s skilful combination of Taijutsu and Ninjutsu were the key factors that allowed him to progress this far, however his opponent was of great skill and wouldn’t be defeated with mere trickery. Karen and Iyou’s calls for aid would go unheard as Enkaku stressed to leave this fight to him, no entries and this it would continue.
After twelve’s more minutes of collective combat, the battle between the two would soon end as Enkaku walked away victorious threw the aid of his Clans Hijutsu leaving his foe in a comatose state, however though his victory was clear, it would come with a price as the young male was dealt a mortal strike to his chest as he was slashed by the opponents sword, sending him towards the ground as he feel unconscious.
Once awoken, Enkaku found himself in what seemed to be infirmary and Karen to his side. After moments of conversation between the two, Enkaku found out that he was indeed injured in the fight and rendered unconscious, however was brought her by his team to the Konohagakure hospital. Once hearing the news that the mission was a success and the shipment had made it safely to the docks for distributing, Enkaku and his team would soon return to their home in Iwagakure as they were expected to give a report on what had happened on their missions.
A few days after their arrival home, Enkaku and Karen found themselves at the peak of a large mountain which resides close the village, enjoying each others company as they ate and held a personal picnic. Laughs were exchanged between the two as they shared jokes and continued to have a bliss time until the two reached for the last rice ball; looking up at one another, Karen would soon lean in towards Enkaku who would soon follow as they would attempt to kiss. However was interrupted by their other teammate Iyou who came with great news. Iyou gave the news that due to the extremes of their mission, it was bumped from C-rank to B-rank which was a great feet for the Genin squad. Still injured it hurt every time Enkaku lifted for Joy, however Iyou and Karen gave a hand which symbolized their strong bond. Karen gradually leaned in for a kiss on the cheek as Enkaku began to blush significantly, Iyou still constantly laughing at them, a perfect friendship to say the least.検査
The Exams…
At the age of fourteen, Enkaku was finally ready along side his squad of Iyou and Karen to enter the prestigious antagonism known unanimously as the Chunin Exams, Aozora being squadron leader, and village Jônin knew that his team was ready to ascend to a privileged altitude of greatness, and who deserved it the most, Enkaku. Upon registration Enkaku felt a sense that his goals were coming to a initiate as he would soon enter the final restrain that if he passed would allow him to reach a sophisticated of admiration within his village. A few days before the first examination of the Chunin Exams Aozora , Enkaku, Iyou, and Karen would have an extraordinary dinner at the residence of Enkaku and his grandfather to celebrate the team’s accomplishments. Enkaku’s team was one of the few Genin squadrons to have accepted in completed over eighty-three D-ranked missions within a village as well as completing seven C-ranked missions and one outstanding B-rank. As Mu-Nraito and Aozora prepared a gorgeous meal for their student’s team they fortuitously stumbled upon Enkaku’s first sense of belonging as Iyou and Karen continued to treat Enkaku as a equivalent instead of a nuisance, Mu-Nraito being the responsive grandfather was heart filled as for Aozora was as lethargic as ever but pompous at the same time, this would be the time of Enkaku life that would change the representation of Enkaku in Iwagakure for years to come.
To Kumogakure no Sato
After traveling many days to the contemporary village of Kumogakure for the contribution in the Chunin exams Enkaku and his team were very animated for the most, this was considered the first time in Enkaku’s young life to shoe signs of ecstasy and exhilaration for he would soon establish his skills as a fellow Shinobi and not a sightless distant as Aozora would soon signal his team that they arrived at the village hidden in the clouds, Kumogakure. Upon entering the village Aozora properly announced that the exams would begin the neighboring morning so for this day Enkaku and his team would prepare for the exams and all that it holds. The news gave grave disappointed towards Iyou and Karen but Enkaku found this Kinda of nice, unlike his team Enkaku lived with his mentor (Grandfather) so he knew in advance what the exams would bestial upon his team so he was released from training early and was allowed to roam the city of Kumogakure which he used to reconnoiter out his future completion.
While roaming throughout the village of Kumogakure, Enkaku was astound by the fact that he’d never seen anything like of such grandness, this was the second great Shinobi village that he’d had traveled two besides his own home and thus the terrain was quite different from that of Konohagakure, and Iwagakure. The skies were filled with clouds however the village didn’t hold an ominous or dangerous filling, it was actually quite soothing to sat the least. The citizens of the large village were quite friendly and with the lack of information on the geography of the village, their aid was all that could guide Enkaku.
Almost spending several hours away from his squad, Enkaku would soon return to his hotel where he find all members of his squad resting peacefully in their respective beds. Stopping to gaze at the site of his squad members, Enkaku would give off a slight smile, followed by a small yawn as he made his way towards hi bed, laying himself gently onto the soft cotton structure as eh rested his head backwards onto the pillow, his long dark hair spreading outwards. As Enkaku rested in the bed, numerous memories of the past began to run threw his mind which consisted of his time as a Genin thus far: the mission, the parties, the great training sessions with his team, and lastly the time with Karen. With this Enkaku would turn to the site as he closed his eyes and soon fell gently asleep.Exam: part| 1/2
Waking in the morning, the team of Iwagakure Shinobi would cleanse themselves, taking showers and bathing their faces in the sink. After everyone was cleaned and dressed they would held out to a local ramen shack within Kumogakure as they ate to their hearts content. This took place within a hour or so and now that it was finished, it was time to head to the observance for the beginning and introduction of the Exams. Upon arrival, Enkaku stood in complete stillness as Iyou would as usual make a panorama, this time directed towards the rather outsized group of Genin who stood before them. Karen and Aozora would only smile as they were somewhat discomfited by Iyou’s actions, however not flabbergasted. After the formal preamble of the Exams, all Genin were escorted to a room were the first segment of the exams would begin.
Once in the room, it was made quite evident that the first segment was that of a written exam as several slim tablets laid across each table which clarified seven to one table. Once everyone was seated and the instructions were given, it was time for everyone to begin. Between Karen and Enkaku, this exam would be noting. However Iyou whom they expected to have difficulties as he would spend most of time using rebellious acts to stop lectures rather then listen to them, worry was the only emotion that ran threw the two’s mind as they awaited to see what Iyou’s reactions would be. After one hour of writing and analyzing, the first half of the exams were now over as the participants who passed were called out. After seven grueling minutes of still waiting, to Iyou and his entire times surprised they had pasted and when confronted of how Iyou did so he simply replied with “I’m no Dumbass, I knew some of the stuff and they kid next to me was smart.” Iyou said with a smile as they continued on the final segment of the exams.Final segment of exams: Combat
Once the first half of the exams was ever, the few who passed would now be placed in a tournament of combat with victory coming by defeating your opponent. However the chance of ascending to the ranks of Chunin would be taken from both tests and overall demonstration of Shinobi skill, so even a loser of the tournament could advance. Within the first round, there were only sixteen Genin who advanced from the written exams thus meaning there would be matches of eight. After those matches had came to a end, Enkaku and his entire team had came out victorious as they would move on the finals of the tournament which would take place within a month advancing this time.
One month later…
After the month of intense training and preparation it was time to begin and conclude the duration of the Chunin exams. Upon arrival at the stadium Iyou was proud to see such a large crowd of people hosting the stands as the box seats held high ranking officials. It was now time and in the first fight was Iyou. After almost a hour of fighting, Iyou still hosting great skill and proficient use of his skill was defeated by his opponent. Karen preceded Him, and as her fellow partner, she would fall victim to defeat as well. Here demonstration of superb Genjutsu use however allowed her to last that match of the fight seeing as her opponent was four years older then her and hosting a great deal of skill. Finally was Enkaku who was determined not to follow in his teams honorable failure; throughout his fight, his display of keen Ninjutsu and Taijutsu skills coupled by effective use of Kenjutsu rewarded him with victory as he defeated his opponent and not only brought himself pride, but his entire team.
After the finals of the tournament were over it was time to return to back home as the Chunin exams concluded. Upon arrival, Enkaku was greeted by his grandfather and a number of the local villagers as they came to celebrate the return of their future Shinobi, Enkaku and his team were most thunderstruck however at the same time rapturous from all the attention, Iyou would be the one taking the most advantage of this occasion while Karen and Enkaku snuck away from the large festive crowd and went to the large mountain were the once stood years ago.
Once alone, the two would rest back, enjoying the site of a splendid twilight in the horizon, Karen soon resting her head on the firm shoulder of Enkaku as he then looked back at her, giving a small smirk as he continued to admire her beauty. The sound of responsive celebration dwelled from the village in into the opening as Enkaku and Karen smiled from how loud the village was. A conversation would soon strike between the two as they begun to reminisce on the past event which just ended a mere day ago and how each of them did. However would soon be intermittent by Enkaku as he soothingly jumped into a quixotic gawk, followed by a small kiss to Karen as he soon got up, placing his hand outwards. Blushing powerfully, Karen attempted to shift her head as she gave her hand, being lifted off the ground and continued to the village as they would celebrate their recent achievement.
The nest morning, Karen, Enkaku, and Iyou were called to a early meeting by Aozora who seemed to have grave news which resulted from the Kumogakure exams. While waiting, Iyou was to hyper to take a seat, however Karen and Enkaku sat next to each other, giggling softly as they spoke in causal tones of voice After thirteen minutes of waiting, Aozora had finally arrived and thus stood in front of the three Genin, followed by the lining of the three in front of their sensei. Only a mere moment into the conversation, Iyou soon gave off a hilarious cheer and began to jump viciously around in ecstasy as Karen and Enkaku smiled, giving one-another a grand embrace. Aozora smiled as he saw the reaction to the new, it was now time for the three to go their separate ways as they weren’t Genin no more, every last one of them were promoted to the ranks of Chunin and thus a new chapter in their lives would begin. After that conversation a few weeks would pass as the tree began distant, Iyou being a newly instated ANBU member rarely had time to spend and fantastic attention on his previous partners. Karen now joining the ranks Iryō-nin spent most of her time in the Iwagakure medical relief bay thus had little to no spar time for anyone thus her idealistic affiliation with Enkaku vaporized over the months. And Enkaku, well now being a Chunin spent most of this either on missions and or training with his grandfather with their clan’s techniques.芸術の習得
Mastering one’s art…..
As a Chunin, Enkaku would participate in abundant of missions, mainly consisting of C-rank and D-rank with an increase of B-rank as he continued to manufacture diplomacy in his village. His reputation grew vastly within Iwagakure as the majority of its citizens knew him unswervingly and obliquely. His dreams were finally being materialized as his endowment was becoming noticed, not only by the citizens but also higher ranking officials within the stone village. With all this recognition, one would anticipate Enkaku to revolutionize drastically, however Enkaku was still the same as he always was, just stronger and more experienced.
Most of his B and C ranking missions were mainly the occupation of a personal bodyguard, and thus he’d traveled to many places, gaining bits of knowledge with ever location his feet had stepped upon. His knowledge of the world was more enacted then that of a typical Shinobi which was evident threw his progression of skill. As a bodyguard, Enkaku encountered many difficulties on the road who intended to fault his transportation as well as his objective; however all met their providence against Enkaku. His skills in combat with the Shinobi arts were marvelous, rivaling those with more experience as he became renowned as a intricate adversary within his village.
With increased skill came increased training loads as his grandfather would soon instated longer duration I training and seemingly making them more difficult then than of his previous training. Enkaku could only expect this to happen as he grew and his body strengthen, one couldn’t truly gain skill by staying on the same novice level forever and thus the translation wasn’t argued, however most nights Enkaku was left exhausted from the combined work of his Chunin job and personal training by his elder; thus on his days off, he spent mainly sleeping to keep his body in top form.
The three years preceding his advancement to Chunin were blissful. Accomplishing a number of high ranking missions and gaining negotiation were amongst his success. Now Seventeen, Enkaku was a proificent user of his family’s art along with a well versed user of the Shinobi arts. Enkaku was a highly balanced fighter and was recognized as such as he given the alias within the village as the Retsu Hagane (冷たい鋼鉄, Cold steel) for his excellent employ with a Katana and thus would become the gateway to a promotion which would set Enkaku at the peak of his evolution.天才の確認
Recognizing a Genius….
Now eighteen and spending the last four years of his life as an Iwagakure Chunin, Enkaku found himself being noted as a well accomplished Shinobi. His skill with the ninja arts were of proificent use, Only a young adult and have mastered his Family’s Hijutsu and completing a overwhelming number of missions manifested a transcendent resume for his future and his career as a Shinobi. While training with his grandfather who now was had reached the age of seventy, Enkaku was kindly interrupted by a Village ANBU. Confused as to why the Tsuchi-Kage’s delicate enforcer was at his home, Enkaku requested to know why he’d come. However the next part of this meeting would surely shock Enkaku.
Gradually removing the Animal familiar mask which once sat upon his face, Enkaku’s eyes widen behind his glasses as he was now facing his former partner back in the days, Iyou. There was much that needed to be reminisce on from the past and the present; however Iyou was on official business as he was requested to escort Enkaku to the Kage-Manner. Perplexed as to why the Kage wanted to him to meet in the presence, Enkaku would soon follow Iyou to the manner as he waited to see what this meeting would endure.
Upon arrival to the Tsuchi-Kage manner, Iyou would direct from the outside were Enkaku was to go as he was instructed to stand guard, without question Enkaku memorized the orders and thus made his way into the comportment. Once in the room where his presence was requested as he soon gave a bow to the Tsuchi-Kage who sat peacefully in a luxurious chair behind an oak wood desk. Within discussion, Enkaku was being fed all his accomplishments from the past six years of his life, from his beginning as a Genin to now and which the Tsuchi-Kage spoke highly of. It was evident that his lordship was very impressed by the achievements expressed by Enkaku and now it was his time to be satisfied for all his labors and contributions to the village. Shaking the hand of his Village’s leader, Enkaku by the request of the Tsuchi-Kage was now promoted to the ranks of Iwagakure Jônin, elite Shinobi.エリートの戦士
An Elite warrior….
For the next two years of his life, Enkaku took was now officially an Elite Shinobi of his village; an established accomplishment which only came with a lifetime of dedication and resolve. With the coming of being a Jônin was now qualified to take part in higher ranking missions (A-Rank |S-Rank) whom he exploited to the fullest. Only spending a mere several weeks out the year in Iwagakure due to his extensive mission regiment whenever one was issued, Enkaku would spend his time with his Grandfather who was now too older to continue the training, however Enkaku had already mastered the art. Being such of old age and Enkaku being gone during the majority of the year, Mu-Nraito was usually left with a nursing aid from the hospital, this nurse being Karen.
While off completely missions for the village, Karen and Mu-Nraito spend a large quantity of their time together talking highly of his grandson, it was quite evident that Karen wasn’t over Enkaku, and the same could possibly be side for the Jônin. However with both having conflicting schedules it was near impossible for them to rebuild their long lasting connection. This reality saddened the young maiden however Mu-Nraito was quite the aid when he would share his words of wisdom to assist Karen with her emotions.
The life of a Shinobi was very dangerous, the road to greatness was long and grueling, and everyday the life of those who chosen to follow this path were consisting at risk. This was the reality of A shinobi, greatness wasn’t guaranteed, but as all life begins, it will come to a end. However Enkaku was willing to take this risk, his passion for aiding not only himself, but for others enlightened his way to see past the darkness into the light. He would now continue his role as a Shinobi of the village and place his life on the line of needed for the safety of his fellow villagers; that was the reality for a true Shinobi and Enkaku embodied such a idealism, his burden of once being alone was now his fuel.
