- Shingi to Sigma

Shingi (信義, Lit. Loyalty) is a Sage-like, shinobi from. He is know throughout the entire Southern Frontier by his moniker; the Peace Sage, because of his revolution of peace. He also inherited Savoir of this World title from his sensei,. He's currently rivaled with Sigma Uchiha, and now renowned as the First Takikage (初代信義 ,Shodai Hokage) of Takigakure. Throughout his short life span, Shingi has been given the ultimate moniker of them all; Jack of All Trades (ひゃくげい, Hyakugei).

Background
Son of a pit-hole, Shingi (Loyalty) is a half-blooded. Shingi's father, was a run-away Kaguya, who luckily escaped the bounds of the. Choosing to hide in the out-skirts of the Land of Fire, the thirty-one year old Kaguya would hide and be un-found. Though unlike many of the other clan members, he was unable to show his elite ability. Though, before he died from the disease that had been going around, he would married a woman unaware of the man's heritage, from, and later create a child. Shingi, the off spring genius, of the Kaguya Clansman would be able to live a decent life. His mother, hopping and praying he would never be exposed to the decease, that his father was. Years, went by, and Shingi, showed no signs of illness. As he grew older, no one, not even his mother would know of her son's or her husbands, heritage.

While out on a stroll, one of many things he and his mother did together, he and his mother encountered a squad of Kiri-nin. They men wanted his mother, for her unique Sage Transformation. All the Kiri-nin charged in without hesitation, Shingi did his best and held them off. Defeating all four of the men with a great strain, Shingi was able to protect his mother...or so he thought. As Shingi and his mother, attempted to make their way out, they found themselves surrounded, by even more Kiri-nin than before. One by one, the shinobi began to thrash at Shingi and his mother. Nothing left to do, Shingi cried, taking his after hit. One of the Kiri shinobi looked, and was a bring to cut his mother, when suddenly Shingi became unaware of his surroundings and lashed out. Shingi, black out, and was unaware of what happened. When he woke up, he saw bones emerged from his body, and all of the Kiri-nin laid out in a puddle of blood.

Shingi, picked up his mom, and made his way back to the village. Unaware of his abilities, Shingi decided to keep them a secret even from his own mother. He was afraid to tell his superiors, because he was unaware what their motives would have been. So for years, Shingi would keep his ability a secret. After a few years and the hiding of ability, Shingi began to feel a sudden urge of sickness, a cough that had been heavy. As if it were a cold or a disease of some sort. Had such power come with a price? Or was it just a mere coincidence?

Life as a Genin
Growing up in Konoha, would only be the start, but being a genius would become taxing. Using his genius, would he begin to scope out his foes even before battle, leaving them wide open. He'd often be able to outwit his mother, in attempts to sneak out and hand with the other shinobi. Not having his father around, Shingi showed no weakness, he easily took the offer as man of the house, and began working for money; via missions etc. After becoming a genin, Shingi was assigned to a three man squad, with Sōgetsu Hōzuki, and another unnamed kunoichi, with as their sensei. The team completed various missions, even at sometimes without the aid of Naruto. Even completing a S-rank mission right before the chūnin exams. Where they were obligated to infiltrate Getsugakure, and gain inside knowledge of their new plans.

A few months later, the cell would participate in the chūnin exams, where Shingi met his eternal rival, Sigma of the. In the forest of death, Shingi was encounter Sigma and his squad of, Honey Senju, and Tsuna Uchiha. However, Shingi was able to out maneuver the group alone, being feared within the entire exams. Shingi later would advance in the exams. While everyone went off the train for their month period, each student being taken in by a teacher, Shingi was left alone. This left Shingi alone with his sensei Naruto Uzumaki, and at that point they began to grow a mutual connection. During the training course, Naruto taught Shingi how to preform a perfect Rasengan.

Life as Takikage
Shingi, was given a mission by Konoha officials to travel to Takigakure. His mission, was to defeat the patriot, and by all means defeat him. Upon arriving to Taki, the place was a wreck, many people laid in the streets, and all it reminded him of, was when destroyed Konoha so long ago. His angry began to grow into hatred, and yet he hadn't even faced the patriot yet. Se time pater, Shingi defeat the patriot, and by doing so, many people of Takigakure praised him. Which further led into him being named as the Takikage.

Throughout these times, Shingi managed to rebuild Taki, as well as move lots of followers into the village. When Ryūgakure was destroyed, Sigma Uchiha, Shingi eternal rival, managed to get nearly off if their villagers to join Taki. Years later, Sigma died, splitting the tailed beast up, back into their original nine beast. During this, Shingi grew a large hate towards Uchiha, because of his anger, in losing his best friend.

Personality
Shingi is portrayed as a loyal and dedicated shinobi. With a great sense of humor and sarcasm, something that allowed him and Sigma to become so close. Through out the series, he is seen making jokes, and being lazy to the point of him not wanting to even go and train. Despite such a humor, some still find it difficult to figure him out. Almost all of his lines are mockeries of quotes from previous legendary shinobi. He's well known for his use of the line; "That's my cup of tea.".

During part one, others could see his typical playful and joyous self. Even to the point he was able to make Sigma Uchiha, laugh during their chūnin exams. Though despite his humor and etc, it hides his true personality. Shingi looks at "what he gets" out of things. His true personality leads upon his intelligence level, having other shinobi shocked at the realization of his true potential. Though this personality is what got him his infamous moniker while just a chūnin; Deceiver. While many may think this is a bad thing, it is actually a good one. Despite his sarcasm, he knows the ones he needed to protect. His sarcasm led him to go toe to toe with the of Sigma, both not letting up one bit in a joke contest. However, while these traits do have a place in his real personality, much of his outward persona can perhaps be considered an intentional facade perfectly designed to cause those unfamiliar with him to underestimate his remarkable intelligence and ability. From day one, he was more so known as "independent"; not wanting to help his team during the chūni exams, leading into his more selfish self. As a man with considerable knowledge and expertise, Shingi considers himself a protector to those without strength and acts accordingly, earning the staunch loyalty of his most trusted companions.

It has been noted by Sigma that Shingi houses two different personas. The first is his carefree demeanor, which is present consistently and makes up the majority of his personality and traits. However, he also possesses the trait of a brutal and unmerciful killer, characterized by his other moniker, Hebishaku (蛇嚼), meaning "Snake Bite", in reference to his fang like teeth that'll "bite you in the back" while on the battlefield with other shinobi. It has been claimed that these two persona are at war within Shingi, and have been ever since the death of the latter's. However, despite this claim, the "snake bite" persona has been depicted several times before, most noticeably during the times that is brung up in a negative manner.

Speed & Strength
While being a bit of a speed hound at first, after receiving the proper training from Raido, his speed has increased since before.

Bodily Durability
As a primary member of both the and, Shingi's body is quite the wall. Shingi's body tissue are extremely thicker than that of what one would be able to even enhance. His,, , and are much more enforced, compared to the average human body. And even compared to those members of his clan, Shingi is still considered a super-human. His body is oriental to combat, and with it, he can literally adapt to ANY environment that he'd be tossed in. He can also withstand the extremely powerful punches, even those that are enhanced by the attacker trying to use speed to attack as well. And his equilibrium mastery, he can still stand still on the ground. He is also able to survive bullets fired from Bat's. Granting him near immunity to blunt force trauma.

Equilibrium
Shingi, as one who wanted to disrupt his opponent(s), equilibrium, also took the time to enhance his very own self-equilibrium. After a few years of training, Shingi's equilibrium is far more astounding than that of what would even be expected from the most recognized shinobi. However, because many shinobi neglect to study in such a field, most have no way of fending off against Shingi at all. Displaying the ability to maintain his balance, even while being preoccupied with many other things. His basic use starts from being able to on narrow objects, to even being able to stand in any position. Even those, that people tend not to user ever. But for Shingi, it's a everyday thing.

Types of Equilibrium

 * Hydrostatic Equilibrium: When Shingi applies the external forcesthing like that of gravity by a pressurized force. Usually used to effect that of the Earth, Shingi applies it against his opponents. Therefore, instead of preventing gravity from collapsing with his opponent(a), he bends the laws, and instead allows it. Literally being able to rob his opponents of their balance, leaving them nearly no ways of fending off against it. Here, Shingi uses a  and, which allows him to manipulate and accelerate the gravity around a specific object or person. And since there is no opposing force to act against the force Shingi is applying, the acceleration is granted, and is extremely difficult to counter.

Abilities
Easy statement, ''"Perfect opponent against anyone." This was noted by his sensei, Naruto, even when he was just a genin. His side array of abilities is what came determined. As in the chūnin exams, Shingi was able to fend off all three of the members from Team Shiga, of Yamagakure. Being so young, and able to change his abilities, was feared by many of the higher uppers of Konoha. Leading into his large shunning by most of the village. However, this was overlooked by Naruto, and instead influenced him to take a heavy role in Shingi's life. Naruto, even labeled Shingi as only genius of Konoha for his era. During the mission of entering the, Shingi at first found himself in a predicament with becoming bait for two Sky shinobi while, Sōgetsu and Rin continued along the way to complete the mission. He was not only able to defeat the two shinobi, but also catch up to his team mates, and defeat the leader of their opponents. His capabilities, while earned him to be being feared in a sense, he was always praised for them.

By the time he was promoted to chūnin, he had already reached, if not transcended past ranked abilities, but before he could be recommended, he was forced to face Naruto. After battling Naruto, Shingi managed to push Naruto into a corner, but of course Naruto hadn't been using full power, yet he accepted defeat. Where he then recommended Shingi for permission to be promoted to. After a while, the entire village began to accept Shingi, and that's when analyzations began to be born. Digging up old information, Konoha officials were able to conclude that Shingi could hold a even ground against both Kakashi Hatake and Itachi Uchiha at their ANBU-levels. Summarizing the situation, they concluded that Shingi at chūnin preformed -based techniques with ease. While also learning some one his own, and even moving it around to his liking. Even more, he could potentially fend off two users, at once by himself. They also added that him being able to use at such a age, would also give him the upper hand, and even then his reserves were large than the both of theirs. Even here, he was able to decipher a few of the writings on the Naka Shrine, mostly from guesses, as well as common sense. These analyzations were told to be kept up by Naruto, inorder to constantly have an update on Shingi.

After the war, the village devised a game, that the shinobi could participate in, otherwise known as. Each team would be composed of a handful of powerful shinobi, with many "pawns", or weaker shinobi, on each team evenly splitting power between the two. One on team was Shingi, and on the other, was Kakashi, and at some point the two managed to come face to face with each other. Kakashi noted to his team, that he would indeed surely need backup with fending Shingi off. However, when Kakashi looked at his current group of troops, he knew it still wouldn't be enough to fend off Shingi, forcing then to retreat. Later stating that the teams this year were unbalanced.

After becoming a Jōnin, Shingi was able to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, and here, his analyzation came again. By this time, Shingi was on the comparable levels of the and  's with literal ease. Shingi was able to literally break a technique down, and began to review its mechanisms even in the midst of battle. And if he had the needed chakra, he could essentially use it. Gaining information on a battle against a -nin, they learned that he was also able to fend off against a puppeteers. A technique once praised for being capable of destroying entire villages. Meaning Shingi could possibly hold his own against a .After a complete analyzation, Shingi was classified as a Kage-level shinobi, who indeed would one day become worthy of being blessed with the title of Hokage. And for the time being, Shingi was placed as the head of the ANBU while he was 15, following Itachi. And was even considered leading a genin squad of his own, at which he turned down. Saying he hadn't learned all that was needed from his sensei

Shingi's abilities allowed him to become the sole rival of Sigma Uchiha, a user of the Sharingan and the Rinnegan. In battles, Shingi was able to fend off all of Sigma's summons, including those from the Animal Path. And even giving Sigma's Susanoo great trouble. Not only being able to hold his own, but also outsmarting the man with ease. He was also able to counter nearly all of Sigma's techniques, even taking a few for himself.

Ninjutsu
Shingi, as one who wants to master all techniques, using as his go to for starting up a battle. Possessing extensive knowledge and skill over many different types of techniques that roam the shinobi world. He himself also employs these techniques, as a way to defend himself, or attack his opponents in efficient sequence. This is heavenly influenced by his ability to control of, as well as apply onto it. He has controlled it to a level of where his can use minimal chakra to use a technique, but still get it's utmost effect out of it. This allows him to save chakra for future needs.

With so, he can techniques like walking on water, or scaling walls are nothing but him simply applying chakra to his feet and allowing him to access the affects of the techniques. He's also capable of basic abilities, but came make it extremely advanced. Techniques like Chakra Enhanced Strength, and Chakra Enhanced Speed, come to as second nature to him, only increasing what he can do naturally. In addition to basic techniques, he is able to preform teleportation techniques with ease. And so much so, he has went on to fluently constantly teleport out of barrages of attacks.

Shingi can also use things such the ability to cast a deadly intent of death onto his opponents, making them hesitate at what they were initially planning to do. In addition to this, he uses the Temporary Paralysis Technique, inorder to add more power into his intents.

As the sole student of Naruto Shingi is capable of performing the most annoying technique of them all. Being; the ability to create Shadow Clone Technique, as well as multiple if the situation calls for it. These clones are mostly used to help increase the power of techniques, help fight with him. Or it's most dominant use; diversions. Shingi seemingly uses them as death fodder in place of himself, being able to scope out an opponents capabilities through them.

The Summoning Technique come natural, as with it, he is able to summon MANY creatures and even people as well. With the Third Eye, Shingi is capable of watching over the entire village of Takigakure. He so, his mastery negates the need for him to close one of his other eyes. Granting him literally three eyes to see with, instead of just two.

He can also preform the Transformation Technique, but taking it to a different level. Unlike okay users, Shingi is easily capable of holding the technique for up more than an hour, even being able to fight and take hits while transformed. He often uses the Vanishing Facial Copy Technique, to work in perfect junction when he transforms, becoming the perfect transformation. His mastery allowed him to create a sexy technique of his own, which he used against.

Finally, is his signature technique he inherited from Naruto, the Rasengan. While it seems like it isn't his signature technique, due to his not really over using it, he has indeed been able to take it to different levels. Bring able to create larger versions of it, as well as many other things.

Senjutsu
Sage Transformation: Shingi, born member of, can passively absorb natural energy at his free will. However, unlike Jūgo's straight forward base partial transformations, Shingi seems to be able to not only take on transformations like his, but can also make it reassemble that of 's. His technique arsenal is very wide ranging, from using heavy attacks like the Destroying Axe Fist, to creating his very own look alike, which transforms his arm into a drill, capable of penetrating the hardest of earth techniques, as seen when he buried his way underground To avoid damage. Using most techniques pertaining to still style seem to require close combat, but for Shingi, he has found plenty ways to avoid it. During a training session, he was seen to be able to shoot out cannons of chakra. Shingi has applied different styles to his Piston Fist, first being style one, which he uses the piston fist to attack, and use the Jet Booster Jump, to enhance, and add to power.

Sage Mode: After years of studies, Shingi was finally able to find. There he was taught "" by Naruto, and the, and ultimately gained full access to "Sage Mode". Like Kabuto, Shingi too grows markings around his eyes, and grows four fours on his head. His skin becomes more  in resemblance to a snake. From knowledge, as the student of Naruto, Shingi was even able to learn how the were able to achieve Sage Mode. So much so, that at one point, he was seen taking on a partial Toad Sage Transformation, twice. According to Pa, Shingi doesn't use this form due to its "look", which doesn't fit a man of his calibre. While taking a deep liking into Sage Mode, Shingi's Sage Mode has never been seen once in his entire career, not counting his times of transforming. Meaning, no one else knows he has achieved Sage Mode, not even his younger brother Sōgetsu Hōzuki.

As a already swift man, Sage Mode makes Shingi move at the speed of light. Even faster than that of the Flying Thunder God Technique. Foes tend to think they are under a genjutsu compared to the speed of Shingi. Unlike most other Sage Mode users, Shingi can draw in even while moving. This is due to his clans unique ability. In the midst of battle, Shingi can turn into a full sage, upon his own liking.

Equipment
Shingi uses a wide array of equipment, that he usually keeps in a pocket dimension, and can easily get them at his free wi. Most of this equipment can be used in battle, or even outside of it. Overtime, Shingi's usage of each object has become unique, and extremely feared.



Intelligence
As stated, Shingi was a genius as just a child, able to beat men such as Shikamaru in Shōgi. Most say it's inherited from his mother, but she begs to differ. This goes into how Shingi was able to get a hold to Orochimaru's hideouts, or at lease what remained, as well as find Ryūchi Cave. As mere intelligence was enough, Shingi is just even better at intel gathering, or spying. Once, Shingi traveled to the Uchiha Shrine, with Naruto and was able to decipher a few of the writings.

Shingi has also shown to be capable of instantly identifying an opponents abilities, by being in a battle for just a short period of time. He often outwits opponents, by sometimes telling them he has only a certain amount of chakra, tricking them into releasing all of theirs at once. Even being able to remember hand seals from one battle, and being able to recognize the technique if it's used again by another shinobi, allowing himself to create the perfect counter. He's transcended past, and has learned how to pass the Wood Release to others without failure (TBA how). Often, if the opponent forces him into Sage Mode (something only done twice) Shingi will start off by using his Sage Art: White Rage Technique. Once the opponent is venerable enough, Shingi will then use his Destroying Axe Fist  to drill directly through his opponent leaving a win certain, only adding on to his intellect. He can also think almost instantly, as seen in his battle against the patriot over Takigakure (Sigma). When Shingi walked into Takigakure he was instantly attacked, though instantly allowed himself to counter it. A feature known to only a few.

After hearing of a new prodigy, and after the passing of his previous master, Orochimaru decided he'd be the one to pick up where Naruto left off. Every step upon the way, Orochimaru thought there was something he could teach Shingi, but he'd already know. Medicinal herbs, Shingi was on top of it. Rare kekkei genkai, Shingi was on top of it. Once in a while Orochimaru would attempt to find people to have Shingi spar with, but Shingi would be able to out think all of his opponents. Having him even feared by that of Orochimaru, to have someone so young yet so intelligent, that himself wouldn't have to fondle with his gene's and DNA inorder to enhance it.

After gaining access to the Flying Thunder God Technique, Shingi gave a Flying Thunder God Kunai to both Sigma, and Raido. He stated, that he ever felt something was wrong he'd be able to get to them without a problem.
