Clous Sinota

Clous Sinota was born in the Water country, in the village hidden in the Mist. His parents were both Ninjas however his mother retired early to become a wife of sorts however still retains her skill. Clous’ father continued on as a ninja, advancing through the ranks and becoming one of the best in the village. While out on an assassination Clous’ father Kuze was ambushed. The details of his mission had been leaked and he was killed before he could make contact with his target.

Clous and his mother Helena were both hit hard. Helena worked hard to protect Clous from meeting the same fate. But by this time Clous had already started at the academy. Later on the family was framed for an attempted assassination of one of the Mizukage's attendants. The only thing that realy seemed to put the icing on the cake was the fact tha Clous was out late (actually training) And Helena wasn’t’ home either. Though noone realy knows what she was up to, even though she wasn’t even present within the village at the time. This still made them both suspect.

In order to escape what seemed like a hopeless situation. Helena packed only the needed objects. She wanted to travel light and move quickly. She took Clous and the both fled the village. Well doing so caused the others to view running as a confession of their guilt. A group of six ninja were sent after Helena, (because of her training) and Clous.

The six ninja eventually caught up with Clous and Helena, Helena ordered her tearful sun to continue down the road and not to look back. Which he did after he received the last embrace he would ever receive from his mother. Clous continued to run. His mother’s katana in hand. He crossed the border to the land of fire, it was only then that he looked back. He saw his mother coming from behind. She was mortally wounded but she needed to make sure he was safe.

On her way across the border. Helena purposefully set off an early warning devise set by the village hidden in the leaves. This would force a team from the village to investigate. Helena shortly afterward died from her wounds. With four of the six ninja still alive and in pursuit. Clous didn’t have much time to mourn, and hiding wasn’t an option. Clous continued to run, a thick mist forming behind him.

As Clous finally made it deeper into Fire territory He was confronted by Leaf ninja. He explained his misfortune and told the ninja all what had happened. Which eventually led to the Mist ninja in pursuit to fall into a trap and be executed. Clous was given an asylum. At the time Clous had just turned ten. He spent his days training and denouncing his former nation. His determination to protect his new home, and to destroy anything that threatens it. He trained as hard as he could constantly pushing himself.

His instructor feared for him, Clous unhealthy obsession with destroying the land of water was fairly unhealthy. He took this matter to the Hokage. The Hokage viewed that as a possible future problem, so he ordered the instructor to try and mold Closu into a calmer, and more level headed peson.

At firts the trials were pointless. Nohting could ever detour Clous from his goal of killing those responsible for destroying his life. He lost everythign and wanted to take everything in return. The lead to him diving into the dark and forbidden arts. He did the unthinkable. He found the Sinota clans scross of Tatsuma. a weaposn that his parent swore him to never usee for malicious deads and only to protect what was truely important to him.

Using his chakra fused blood Clous signed the contract with the intent to kill. This lead to him almost being completely consumed and having hsi life ripped away. Luckily for Clous his instructor had tailed him realizing that something was wrong. The instructor shielded Clous and took his place, loosing his soul in the process.

When Clous woke up a few days later he realized how far he had fallen. He had lost feeling in his right arm, but later regained that. After reconsiling with himself he was sent to a new instructor where he continued his training. He locked the scroll and Tatsuma itself away. However before he did so he read of the Ground Zero technique. It was the only thing that he could do tha scared the hell out of him.

As time went on and Clous continued to excell in his studies. He found that in place of tatsuma he would needed to use diffrent weapons to get the job done. He selected two Katar for this. THey could be easily used as a simple extention fo his arms. The day the Clous graduated as a genin was a bitter sweet joy. His family wsnt there to see their son finally gradate and become the ninja he was ment to be. At hte graduation Clous cried for a bit, but later one felt an unwavering pride and a want to protect Konohagakure.

with this new found resolve Clous summoned the courage to open the scroll and grasp Tatsuma once again. This time however when he opened he scrolll adn signed over his name the blade accepted him. Clous later took the sword and scroll to hte grave of his former instructor and confided with him his fears adn dreams. This being something tha he would never share with anyone. With his mind made up and a determination to return his clan to its rightful place Clous set out to return to Kirigakure.

Clous waited In the trees, a thick mist covering the forest as he waited for his target to emerge. A convoy was soon to move through here. It carried a message of war. Clous was sent to make sure that message never got through. As the convoy moved through the forest Clous got ready. He pulled four shuriken from his pack on his right side. He rose them up close to himself before throwing them loose. Several ninja that were guarding went down. Clous then gripped his sword in his right hand and fell upon the messenger, and the remaining ninja killing everyone.

Clous found the message and smiled. He extended his left arm to the sky. Seconds later a hawk flew down and landed on Clous’ arm. Clous tied the message to the Hawk and sent him back to the village hidden in the leaves. “That should hold the war of just a bit longer.”
At that momment when Clous had turned his back a beast of a man had emerged from the carriage itself. This man was easily seen as a mist ninja. Clous turned to face him as he sensed a disturbance. At first he was thinking of just letting him go, but in the back of his mind he knew how stupd that sounded.

Clous glared through his wolf faced mask at the man. He wore a black cloack and was coverd in chains. There was also a sealing mark on his forehead. Clous took note of this as gripped Tatsuma tightly. "Who are you?" Clous asked as he slowly approached.

The man said nothing, he simply pointed to the sky. Clous was stupid enough to look up. Closu heard a high pitch sound and his head snapped back to where the man was. He was gone, Clous backed away slowly while sheething Tatsuma. What was that?... I should head back now. With that decided Closu jumped back into the tree line and headed back to Konohagakure.

However on his way he kept hearing the rattle of chains. Each time he stopped and looked around. With one of his twin shrikes in hand Clous stood on a tree branch and looked out over the forest. What is this? A cold tingle down my spine. This can't be possible, for me to feel so... Clous once again heard the rattle of chains bellow him.

Clous looked down into the cold dark blue eyes of the cloaked chained man. A huff of icy breath escaped from his masked mouth. Clous glared form behind the wolf mask. His katar held tightly, Clous performed the propper hand signs. Mist blade jutsu! Mist formed around the blade of the katar, locking in chakra and strengthening hte blades durability and cutting power. "What are you intentions?"

In responce the cloaked man's right arm lashed out sending a flurry of chains hurling towards Clous. Clous jumped back and swung from the now demolished branch. He charged in moving as fast as he could. More chains lashed out arond him. Clous reached for a kunai nife and threw it at the man right arm. The Kunai itself was deflected as another volley of chains were launched at him. Clous dove to the side and was ready to strike once again. But like last time the man had dissapeared. There was a high pitched whistle cracking through the air. "What the heck is going on!?" He asked the surrounding forrest.

Of course Clous wasnt expecting an answer wich was evaden by the surprised look on his face when the man reappeared behind him and spoke. "Your still not strong enough, you wouldnt even be able to get close enough let alon touch the ones that destroyed everything that you held in your heart. the ones who destroyed your heart."

Clous' eyes widdened as a thick mist moved in. It barely reached Clous when it started to vanish. The man was gone once again. What- what does he know about me, how could he? Clous slowly turned his back and continued on back to Konohagakure to give his report and success of the mission.

Clous made it a point to leave out hte part of the unidentified shinobi that attacked him. As far as Closu figured it was his problem and he needed to sort it out on his own. Back in hsi room Clous took of his mask. His red eyes seemed tired as sweat dripped from his chin. He pulled the half cloth mask down form his face, and set his weapon next to his bed. How did he know me? Someone I knew...maybe its-...

Clous laid back on his bed, his eyes closed adn he fell into a dark sleep shrouded in nightmares. His memories of his mothers face the last time he saw her. The tears in her eyes, for she knew that it would be the last time she would see him. Tears ran down Clous' face as he slept. The last words of a dying mother in his head. "Live on my son." He turned over adn gripped his head "Am I the last?" he muttered.
