Tenjirō

"I can't go back and see the sad faces of the villagers because we didn't succeed. If that were the case, I'd rather you kill me here to save me from that sin. I'm sorry, but we don't plan on failing here. I suggest you do your best as well if you don't plan on becoming a puppet in my collection."

Background
Born into a noble family, Tenjirō was blessed with all he'd ever need. Son to the legendary jōnin; Hyaku, he'd been technically born with high expectations. In his youth Tenjirō would often read through old history books on the greatest puppeteers to once exist. He grew up in an well versed family that didn't follow a single style of combat. His father was a user of the Diamond Dust, and his mother's style was solely based on scorch techniques. He would spend day and night studying the past puppets once created so that he could make his own. Puppetry and all things to do with it seemed to be the boy's only goal. Any "free time" he had was spent forcing his father to train him so that he'd get the most out of chakra control, until he would finally achieve use of. Whenever his time wasn't spent training with his father, he'd stay up late reading books about the legendary, missing dinner and also sleep. He spent his time wisely thoroughly reviewing the ins and outs of puppetry, so that he could be virtually flawless. Tenjirō entered the academy at the age of seven, which was only a year after he'd created his very first puppet; "Hawk". The young boy exceeded most general expectations and considered to always be one step ahead of his class.

Tenjirō and been placed on a squad with his father as his captain, and on each mission they group showed spectacular results on each mission they were placed on. As time went on the group would aid him in high-ranking missions even, acting as a support unit when he needed them. However, among the three Tenjirō's name always stood out. There reached a point where the genin squad would not even allow their captain to go on a mission without them. After three short years each member of the group had reached chūnin status and would begin to go on even higher-ranking missions. By order of the village elders, Hyaku had been assigned an infiltration mission. His purpose was to scout out the hideout of a religious organization and determine exactly what their purpose was. To accompany him on this mission was his very own chūnin team.
