Looks Description: The man known as Izo rocks the traditional Uzumaki red hair look that isn't quite the same as those other crazy shinobi. Izo's hair is flat and laid out like a normal human being, that hair stopping just around the middle line of his forehead, which is normally covered by bandages for the hell of it. His eyes are a beautiful piercing blue. His facial structures are the exact same as his father's, if he ever go to know what that man looked like he would know. The man wears a red cloak that matches the tone of red that his hair bears only his cloak has marks of black that fill in the rest of what is there. For example his sleeves have a black middle separating the red and black in a fashionable way with the Uzumaki clan insignia stitched in black on the right shoulder just on the arm. Under this cloak the man wears a red shirt that also matches his cloak's red which also matches his hair's red. Under all this Izo wears black sweatpants stopping halfway down the calf muscle only to be met with an assortment of bandages all the way to his shoes which are a lovely blue sandal looking thing.~


Personality Description:
Uzumaki Namesake: While most other kids his age seek to develop relationships, and learn the vital social skills needed in order to thrive in adulthood, he instead seeks to train, and build himself up so that he may improve his family's name. This probably has something to do with the way he was raised. His family started him off on a brutal and dangerous training regime from the moment he could walk, and constantly reminded him that he was their last hope at creating a proper name for the Uzumaki. He now lives with that thought process engraved into his head. He feels must succeed, or he will destroy his family name. He will save a team mate from eminent doom, yes, but only because in failing to do so he may taint the family name

Curious & Hot-Headed: Izo's curiosity wasn't genetic, in fact it was taught to him that curiosity killed the cat and it often did. Izo's curiosity kicks in when he sees new things strange things, and new people... and often times chicks, seeing as he hasn't met too many of them being from Sunagakure. His curiosity normally just brings on a quick search but nothing too extreme, for example, if he was on a mission and he saw something off to the distance he wouldn't get wrapped up in what he saw, only giving it a little more thought than need-be. Izo's being hot-headed is from his ignorance of the shinobi world and being called out on his lack of knowledge thereof. You could say that this is driving him as of late to meet new people and learn of the world that is quickly enveloping him as he becomes a full fledged shinobi. When his hot-headed side is brought out it isn't serious, just a twitch of his when he is caught doing something silly usually responding in a nice fashion explaining what he was thinking and ending with an, "idiot".

Confident: On the usual note, is very boastful. he is completely confident in his abilities and not many other people believe in him too much. That's why he still acts like a kid. His personality screams 'kid' in your face. Izo will always tell someone what's up, even if it is a little straight forward. If you suck at a particular thing, he will tell you so if you're looking for constructive criticism I don't recommend Izo. Other than this, Izo is extremely proud of his clan and mostly proud of his skills. If someone doubts him or something along those lines, he is most likely going to challenge the person who doubted him to a spar, at the very least do what the person doubted that Izo was going to do.

History:
The kid known as Izo in this time period was a leech on the streets of Amegakure. He didn’t have the knowledge to lead so he just followed the sheets. He didn’t have any goals, his only thing in life that was driving him was the idea of surviving and hopefully one day have an Aladin story. Izo spent most of his time in a small hole in the wall, most would not know what this wall harbored and probably never will. The few who had the privilege of knowing what was behind this wall would never be able to leave, in a sense. The Nin’s hideout was behind this wall and there he sought protection from the outside world- the people he stole from. When the world saw a little thief going nowhere, a small vigilante, The Nin saw his upcoming prodigy, the next in line to take over the business. In Izo’s mind, he knew he couldn’t stay with The Nin for long, he was still awaiting his Aladin story.

It wasn’t his fault, the apple cart looked too tasty today. The sun had hit the apples in such a way that they were gleaming in his eyes. He knew he had to get some of those apples. The corners of his mouth curved in a smile and he was on his move. Izo had a special way of doing his thing, he walked up to the stand and started talking to the owner acting as if he was going to buy these apples. He would ask questions like, “So what time do you have to get up here to do all this?” The owner would always just think Izo was interested in the business, but in reality Izo was scoping for a time to get in the exact same spot the next morning. The owner answered and Izo used an illusion on the man, known to shinobi as genjutsu to make him hear Izo’s mother yell out his name from far away. With that well put illusion Izo made it seem as if he had to go. Now it was the waiting game.

Come the next day, Izo was where he needed to be in the correct time frame. There was a reason he was smarter than he was anything else. The fifteen year old boy named Izo by himself and no one else, would be making sure he was prepared for this job as he counted his supplies in case he would need to make for an escape. He took his binoculars once more to scope out the location of the next mission he was to do. When he looked he saw someone with a green jacket on, he has seen this before. This man was a shinobi of the Oto, he could tell by the village symbol on the back. His eyebrows arched knowing this would be the hardest job he would have to do, and a smile came across his face because he knew he wasn’t supposed to go up against any shinobi. He arrived to the stand and said hello to the owner. The owner bid adeu to the two gentlemen (Izo and the shinobi) for a small bit to go in the back to get some supplies for the cart store. The shinobi asked Izo some miniscule questions, ones he didn’t think too much of, Izo just looked at the shinobi and used an illusion. The shinobi was obviously caught and Izo laughed thinking that it was easier than The Nin made it seem. Izo grabbed the apples and turned for an escape. Suddenly he felt a hand grapple his shoulder. It was none other than the shinobi stopping Izo in his tracks. Time stopped for he knew he was caught and his mind was racing through all the possible situations that could happen to him for stealing. Then a sweet, unearthly voice entered Izo’s ears. “Don’t steal things from people you can’t run from kid.” The woman finished while taking an apple and walked off, leaving Izo with the rest of the apples. He didn’t know what to think of it, just made his way back to his home.

“Do you think we wouldn’t find out?” The Nin spoke rarely but when he did it had many meanings. This sentence in particular, Izo knew he was in trouble with the man. Izo was motioned to The Nin’s right side once more and he whispered in Izo’s ear. “Who do you choose?” The ghastly voice entered his ear and immediately his mind was shaken, he didn’t know what to say. So he answered back just that. With Izo’s answer, The Nin stood, the first time in years, and spoke to the lot in the hole in the wall. “I now have my answer. You may kill him. Izo, there is doubt in your heart, seeing her today made you consider the outside world.” Izo looked at everyone in the hole he was in and looked back to The Nin. “No need for all these innocent people to die. Me and you face off right now.” They squabbled for a bit, but in the end The Nin would accept the offer, not wanting to look like a bitch in front of his people. The fight is about to begin as The Nin spoke to Izo. “I don’t want to hurt you Izo, if you walk away now I will clean your slate now.” Izo grinded his teeth and answered, “Let’s check the cards shall we?”

The Nin grinned at Izo out of nervousness he guessed, all the while people were staring at the two about to begin, Izo reached in his pocket and pulled a deck of cards, with that action, he drew a Queen of Hearts. Izo tossed the card at The Nin powered by wind jutsu, The Nin quickly disappeared and found his way to Izo’s right side but was stopped immediately. “You think I’m not smarter than that?” Izo had hidden a King of Diamonds, this card caught the man in a genjutsu where he saw him hit Izo in his temple. Izo punched The Nin in the face, knocking him out of the genjutsu and about three feet from Izo’s feet. That small trade made The Nin realize something, Izo is now a threat with his jutsus and his fighting style. The Nin, unfortunately knew the one thing that countered everything Izo’s fighting style was about, The Nin continued the onslaught with a water jutsu, trapping everyone in the hole in a ball of water. Izo’s lungs were burning and he knew he had to get out quickly. He drew a card but it was pointless. The Nin’s face frightened Izo as it appeared in front of him, grabbing his arm and throwing him out of the hole through the wall. In short, he was excommunicated from the mafia.

It has been two years after the excommunication (age 17) and he wandered around the forest they died in in search of enlightenment. His search brought nothing of the sort but he did find where the forest ended and a new village began. He found happiness the Village Hidden in the Cloud offered, maybe he did find his place after all. A presumable Jounin appeared quickly behind him, his name was Nike Douchiwa, it was strange because his name matched Izo's but he had no memory of this man being in his family. Plus he was a shinobi, Izo was the first shinobi in his family. Nike told him to head back in the village and get back into the Academy, mistakingly seeing Izo as an Academy student, he didn't know what to do so he quickly followed the man's orders and did what he was told to do. The next day was Izo's first day in the Academy and no one looked at him like he was new, in fact they all treated him as if they already knew him and were friends, on this day too Nike was shipped into war. When asking why they treated him this way Izo was greeted with the answer that it was part of the rules. And just like that, he knew he was where he needed to be.

While here, Izo met one boy in particular, one that could manipulate bugs at his will which was very strange to Izo because he thought people were scared of bugs from how his mother acted. His name was Faita Aburame. They hung out a lot during the Academy days and he helped Izo with figuring out how to use the chakra inside of him. Izo eventually figured it out and they were best friends from that day on. The day has come, now he was thirteen and the exams to pass onto Genin level were here. He wasn't ready for sure, the exam was to successfully make four clones and make all four transform into someone in the room with them. Transformation jutsu was his weakest jutsu yet so how would he be able to do this? With encouragement from his classmates and Faita of course, he mustered up a lot of his chakra reserves and created five clones. With another few string of hand signs four of the five clones including Izo transformed into Faita. He looked around and noticed that he had made five clones but not all of them transformed. The Academy instructor gave Izo his Kumogakure headband as he had exceeded the requirements for the test by making five clones. He was now a full fledged shinobi of the Land of the Cloud.

Not skipping a beat of his training, Izo knew that he had to stay sharp to keep his Genin rank. He would often go to visit the Raikage to offer for him to take up some missions, mostly giving him low D-rank missions. He felt he was ready for something better though. Izo went in search of a sensei that would fight for his right to higher ranked missions and he found one, not much of one but he found a man sitting in a drunken slumber. Izo woke the man up and asked if he was a shinobi of the Cloud village, when he nodded Izo rushed him to the Raikage's office and demanded he be Izo's new sensei. With not much argument, the paperwork was changed and this man named Koari was Izo's new sensei. He had to find new members of this team though, with the search wearing thin he just stuck with his sensei and it was just the two of them, Izo had no idea why the Raikage allowed it to be just them on a squad, but meh. One night Koari crashed through Izo's door and woke him up, it was eleven at night and took him away from the village to take him on a mission. It was a B-Rank, his first one. There were no rules and Izo couldn't stand it, he urged Koari to push Izo around or make him some restrictions but nothing of the like was approved. Izo had the worst time on the mission.

When they got backIzo went straight to his room from the village gates, not collecting any money he may have been rewarded from completing said mission. When Loki reached his home, a paper was attached to the door, the paper read:

Paper Wrote wrote:Chuunin exams are here!

Come one and all Genin to the Training Grounds and you can sign up!

Izo went to sign up for the Chuunin exams, in the morning it was very bright from the sun shining down. He saw Faita there but he was not in the area to sign up, he asked why and he was told that Faita's sensei told him he was not ready for something as advanced as the Chuunin exams. He frowned and wondered if he even wanted to sign up anymore, he was more than ready but he didn't want to go through it without his best friend. Despite his feelings Izo signed up anyway. But he signs up for the wrong one, for the next morning he was bombarded with Jounin waking him up and telling him it was time to go to war, he had no specific skills other than the fact that he could use his Uzumaki jutsu and... well I guess he did have some special skills. He wasn't assigned anything until that night. Koari went to his house and talked to Izo about the war. Emotions were shared along with confessions about Koari's thoughts when Izo was told to go to war. Koari was meant to go to war as well but a brutal accident occurred a few days before where thugs mugged him and broke his legs. He was in no shape for war.

While in the front of war, he found his combat style perfectly; Him and Nike were the deciding factor in the war. There were a lot of fatalities that happened in the war along with injuries sustained by Izo. By the end of the war he had seen every bloodline introduced to the war and learned to combat against them with ease, at least he has the ability to make it easier on himself to battle against them. Finding it much easier to battle against any Taijutsu master, even those clans that were masters at taijutsu such as the Kaguya clan and some of the Uchiha clan. The war brought major injuries to his body such as scars on his arms and legs from the Kaguya clan members and a permanently burned face from an Uchiha clan member, that damned fire they control was just too much for Izo. But when the war ended, he was introduced by the Raikage at home into the Anbu ranks. Being a genin in the war, he had already shown his balls and his talents were easy to see when the Raikage took charge, there was no need to take the Chuunin exams and therefore was upgraded to the Anbu rank. By this time, he was twenty-four.
