General Description: Isao has your typical hero look. He has a strong face that is trustworthy. His body's size is average for his age, but he does not lack strength. His dark eyes and dark hair accent his tan skin, allowing him to be a lady's man. He is usually seen laughing, which suits his lively eyes and white teeth. He is usually seen wearing pretty standard clothing of basic color, as he doesn't worry much with appearance.


Personality: Isao has "jock's" personality. He may not be the smartest individual, but he is determined and ready for any challenge. He is strong willed, being called stubborn by most who know him.  He is very confident and slighty cocky about his abilities, as he is a part of the Sakebi clan. He likes to pick on his friends and joke around with them a lot. That doesn't change the fact that he loves them and would die for them, if he had too. He is also a bit of a ladies man, or so he thinks. He is often seen chasing after girls of his age, much to the dismay of his father.

Isao had always had a problem with speaking before he thought, which often got him in trouble with the ladies around him. He doesn't really care for teamwork either, as he believes he could do anything if he puts his mind too it. He is a natural leader, making people draw to him when they meet him, but he doesn't reallly want to lead. He would rather be in the thick of battle having a great time. Above all, he is just a nice guy who had a relaxed life.

Likes: Isao is a huge fan of any sport he can get his hand on. He likes to work-out and run in the morning as well. He loves instant Ramen as well, as he feels it's a pretty efficient way to feed himself. He likes hanging out with friends, making his personality shine when he does so. He also likes to train, as he feels he's got to be stronger to face higher opponents. He also likes to try and talk to several different girls at one time, which often gets him in trouble with all of them. Isao can often be found standing in the rain, as he enjoys the rush it gives him.

Dislikes: Isao doesn't hang around with people who complain, as he calls them wimps. He doesn't want to have to carry wait on the battlefield, and would rather go by himself. He hates giving public speeches, as he wasn't the conversational type. He didn't really like to sit and listen to peoples problems either, as he would rather being doing something positive. Above all else, he hates when someone is bullying another person, unless they are just joking around. He didn't have any mercy for those that picked on someone who is weaker than them. Isao also doesn't care for vegetables, as he thinks they taste weird.

Motivations: Isao is motivated by one thing more than any other, which was his past. He is also motivated by his dreams as well, which are to be in a war, and too defend the village in a crisis. He is also motivated by his father and mother, who are very supportive of him. Most of his friends motivate him as well, as he is easy to get into rivalries. He is also very self-motivated, wanting to stay fit and at the top of his game at all times. He will often look up to stronger ninja, so he will push himself further.

Fears: Isao's biggest fear is to become helpless. He wants to always have the upper hand on a situation and wants to be the hero. He also has a fear of choking in battle. He wanted to protect those he loved with his strength, not be the first to die. Isao doesn't really care for cats either, as he thinks they are creepy and weird. He also has a slight fear of enclosed spaces, but he is working on breaking that fear. Most don't know, but he also fears his father, who doesn't put up with nonsense out of his son.

History: Isao was born into a wonderful home and clan. They were a prideful people who were strong in battle. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case for Isao as a kid. He was picked on often, ass most thought he was too stupid to go anywhere as a ninja. At first, Isao didn't know how to react to the teasing, but he just knew that it hurt a lot. The more he grew up, the more he decided to start fighting back. He wasn't going to let anyone be stronger than he was. By the time he was 7, Isao was training hard to become strong so no one could tease him.

He entered the Academy at the age of 7. School wasn't easy for him in any way, so he had to start early so he could keep up with the rest of his peers. He was confused with ninja techniques at first,as they were quite complicated, but eventually started getting the hang of it and started doing well. It seemed he had a talent for Genjutsu, which was no surprise considering his Clan's abilities. He also was also very accurate while throwing kunai and shuriken, which caused him to pick up the Bow and Arrow.

It took Isao quite a while to get up the courage, but he eventually took the graduation exam at the age of 10. He failed on his first attempt, making his resolve to graduate only that much stronger. He worked harder and harder until he passed on his third try at the age of 12. He was extremely proud of himself, making everyone respect him a bit more. He wasn't the best Genin around, or even the most talented. None of that mattered to the young man who struggled to be strong.

After graduating from the Academy and becoming a full fledged ninja, Isao immediately started training once again. He wanted time away to perfect his clan's jutsu that was legendary among the people. This was just the first of many steps to become a strong ninja. He became an inactive ninja in Denryu for a good time so he could train with his father on learning this jutsu to perfection. Though the training was rough, and took longer than expected, it was successful. That meant Isao was now ready. He is now back, and despite spending two years of training, and is ready to do his duty as a ninja.

He was immediately assigned to a squad just like any other genin would have been. His quiet confidence was an easy pairing for most, but he wasn't quite that lucky. He was assigned to a squad with Rouga, the now Denryukage. It's not that they didn't get along, it's that Rouga was just energetic about everything. He was a unique kid that most people didn't get, but Isao wouldn't let that stop them from doing great things as shinobi. Isao quickly pushed his usual limits to the side as he became close to Rouga, forming a good friendship. Those were years that would lead up to great things.

It wasn't long before the two young ninjas were both promoted to Chunnin. Isao was a great distance fighter with a level head that could lead others, so the promotion was obvious. During these days he still ended up going on missions with Rouga more times than not. They created quite a name for themselves with the power of their genjutsu. While they were far from being the most powerful ninja in the village, they were quickly getting the attention of everyone around them, making it easy to guess what would happen next.

Yep, they were promoted once again, but this time to the rank of Special Jounin. They were now able to have their own squad, which Isao took advantage of. There was two girls and a boy in the squad with him. Ai, the medic nin of the group, was the youngest, being quiet and sweet most of the time. While she was not very combat efficient, she meant well. Keiji was the sword weilding boy, being reckless and stubborn through most of their tenure as a squad. The last girl was named Aya. She was a Ninjutsu expert and the student leader of the team. She was easy to train and easy to lead. Many expected her to do amazing things as a ninja.

Those ideals would never come to life as she died defending Ai in combat. Keiji had been as stubborn as ever and charged in, setting off all kinds of traps. Aya died defending the medic from those very traps, which split the other two members apart. Isao was protecting Keiji and just couldn't defend everyone. He watched his other two students slowly decline as the years went on. They never made it passed the Chunnin level as both died in combat soon after their promotions. Their deaths and the sadness that came with it brought Isao to vow to never take a squad again.

A few years passed and Isao was even promoted to Jounin, a promotion he wished for every day of his life up to that point. He had finally arrived as a high-ranking ninja in his village. He was immediately thrown on the Anbu Black Ops of his village, making incredibly dangerous missions a frequently visited notion. He was confident and versatile as a ninja, making most tasks very simple for him. He often saved the lives of his teammates, as his experience with his squad had taken quite a toll on him. It took a very unusual visit from an old friend for him to return to Isao of old.

Rouga had been asked to become Hokage, which made Isao happier than anyone could ever know. One of the people he had grown up with had accomplished his dream. He was astounded that Rouga wanted him to be his bodyguard, but he would never say no to a kage. He immediately accepted the honor bestowed upon him and sat at the right hand of the kage. Only one thing was left to do for Isao as a ninja. That dream would be realized within days.

It literally took Rouga a few days before he announced that Isao would be promoted once again. He was going to be an S-Ranked Jounin, which was a high honor in the village. It was one that he welcomed though as many years of hard work came to fruition. He was now spending every day with his childhood best friend as the second highest and strongest ninja in his village. It was a life that he was quite happy with and would trade for nothing. They would lead Denryugakure into a future of prosperity and peace, or so Isao imagined. 

Six months have passed since that day and he has not been wrong. Though Rouga is odd for sure, he is a good kage that loves his people and would do anything for them. Isao was his enforcer and bodyguard, allowing no one who could pose a threat near the the village figure. He was not going to have any more blood on his hands from the death of comrades. He would make sure of it. He had failed in his mission to protect the ones he loved. The fall of Denryugakure was just a constant reminder of that fact. Isao has since taken to traveling and building his strength, longing for a place he could call home.

RP Sample: Isao walked through the threshold of his house, nodding at his younger siblings as he looked around for his father. He needed to discuss some things with him, and it couldn't really wait. He continued searching in a rushed manner, being sure too look everywhere. "He's out back." His mother said as she pointed to the back door. "Thanks!" Isao yelled running to the door and opening it. He saw his father sitting there, meditating. He was a disciplined man, which was was weird considering how easy going Isao was. Regardless, he couldn't be interrupted at the moment. Isao walked over beside him and started meditating beside him, wanting to prove he was just a disciplined.

Updated for the relaunch.

Rank approved by Raijin and Rouga
Second element change from Doton to Suiton

Hun, my only issue is that you need to make the history fit the rank requirements. Just flesh this out and you'll be fully approved. You're at 407 now, that barely breaks the requirements for a Genin. You need to add 800 words to hit the 1200 required. This is gunna effect everyone that's updating to a higher rank, not just you. <3 It's why when I adjusted my characters; I boosted their histories up. Can't have favorites, yanno?

Bump with required wordcounts

HNNG! Those feels ;~; I love you <3

Consider this application for S-Rank Jounin of Denryugakure, accepted! Well done!

Updated with his wanderer info and a little addition to the history.
