Katsumi Hayashi

Katsumi Hayashi (林カツミ, Hayashi Katsumi) was an experiment created by Orochimaru using the DNA of his late fellow Akatsuki member and rival Itachi Uchiha, and a kidnapped Konoha Jounin named Kaiya Hayashi. Born inside Orochimaru's laboratory, he and his mother were placed back inside of Konoha soon after having both of their memories wiped of all memories related to Katsumi's birth and Kaiya's disappearance. Unknowing of his unconventional origins, Katsumi trained normally to become a shinobi by attending the Academy and graduating at the age of 10 to later become part of Team Anko. Having discovered Katsumi's true origin after viewing the Cursed Seal placed on his back, Anko made it her mission to train Katsumi as intensely as possible to become a shinobi capable of singlehandedly taking down Orochimaru, her own previous teacher whom she bears a heavy grudge against. During this training it was revealed that Katsumi had a very large capability as an exceptional shinobi along with being able to quickly learn and perfect jutsu in a very short amount of time as well as being able to see through his opponents movements more quickly than any average human. At the age of 16, Katsumi returned home from a day of hard training to find his mother's nearly lifeless body on the floor of their completely devsheleved home, having been ransacked and attacked by an unknown assailant, later known to be one of Katsumi's biological parents, Itachi Uchiha. In a heat of furious anger at the fate of his late mother, Katsumi was able to awaken his Rinnegan, a power that had been placed inside of him due to Orochimaru's splicing of his own DNA with Nagato's. Taking swift hold of this new advanced power, along with his own acquired abilities, Katsumi decided to desert the Leaf village and seek revenge on Itachi by later joining the ranks of the Akatsuki in order to get closer to his mother's murderer. His exceptional strength gained under the influence of his team-leader, Anko Mitarashi, another former student of Orochimaru, along with his specialization of Fire-Style jutsu led him to be known in Konoha as the Dragon of the Leaf (葉の竜, Ha no Ryū).
