Born without clan ties or a noteworthy surname, he would spend most of his time in solitude with his mother following the untimely death of his father, a registered chūnin of the village. Despite his mother's reservations, he seeks to prove her wrong by becoming the strongest shinobi possible, drawing from his mother's martial arts background and his father's ingenuity to make this possible. For he wants to not only survive, but thrive.
