Shugyoku Chinoike

Shugyoku Chinoike (血之池珠玉, Bloody Jewel), nicknamed Shu (朱, Vermillion), is the skilled shinobi son of the changed. In the field he is reputed as the Red Demon (悪魔朱, Ake Akuma) for his feared prowess with the infamous Kerryūgan, the eyes of blood. Growing up in post-Fourth Shinobi World War Kumogakure, Shugyoku was born into a debt he could never repay. He was not born into poverty but rather, servitude. While normal shinobi usually choose to join the fold, for Shu there was no choice. His mother Chino had redeemed herself for changing her ways and working for Kumogakure. For Shu, he was forced to follow in her footsteps. His power was not something to be wasted on anything other than the shinobi lifestyle.

Born into a world where dōjutsu coveted, Chino and Shu became part of a bigger picture they could never escape. Forced to work for Kumogakure or to face death or imprisonment due to her crimes, Shu's mother had been indebted to the village for a long time. She brought Shu into her trade the day she gave birth to him. From that day forth, as soon as he was old enough to toddle, he was molded into a weapon. While it was a time of peace, there was always reason for caution. Everyday new threats arrived, whether big or small. The villages had to be ready for anything. Shugyoku was one of Kumogakure's aces in the dangerous world of Naruto.

As a result, Shugyoku became a true shinobi, one that made his father proud. He became very well-respected for his extreme dedication to Kumogakure, the Lightning and the Shinobi Union as a whole. He memorized the Shinobi Code, and sought to live his life by it. Striving to be the perfect shinobi, Shu saw the code as a gateway to success. With his skills and successes key to his survival, Shu has never taken the code lightly, following its rules to the letter.

His skills were noticed by the Lightning Daimyō himself as he grew into his early adult years. With some agreements done through the Union, Shu and his mother became special agents of the Land of Lightning, while still working for the Union at large whenever needed. Performing a variety of tasks, Shugyoku and his mother have made important strides to the revival of their clan in the current field. With his dedication to his cause and the Blood Dragon Eye, Shu is known to be a force to be reckoned with by his fellow shinobi.
