Yoshiro

Background
Yoshiro was born to a poor family in Kusagakure. His father was a shinobi as well as the weapon craftsman with the use of his kekkei tōta; the Metal Release. However, despite his artful skill in weapon creation, he did not garner any respect from his comrades due to his lacking skill with his Metal Release, and would be constantly looked down upon for the entirety of his lifetime. His mother was a medical-nin, also with below-average skill, and could barely heal the shinobi of the village from the wounds they sustained in battle. Through this disrespect, however, the two would develop a prosperous relationship, despite being the mockery of the village, and would then proceed to marry.

Years after the duo's marriage, they concieved their child, whom would be named "Yoshiro" (義郎; Lit. Righteous Son) in hopes that the little boy grows up to uphold justice and hopefully and the rule of Takayuki. When the boy was five, he revealed his special gift inherited from his father, the Metal Release, and showed tremendous potential with it's use. This led to delight to the duo, who would immediately enrol the boy into Kusagakure's academy in order for him to hone his skills. The boy showed prodigious never-before-seen talent within the academy, garnering the attention of Kusagakure's ruler; Takayuki, whom insisted on taking the boy to train him solely. The parents refused to have their child taken by the tyrant, and tried valiantly to protect him, but were easily liquified by the tyrant, dying infront of their child. The boy, in tears, managed to suppress his emotions, as he was too afraid to attempt to kill the ruthless leader. Takayuki took the boy under his wing, whereby Yoshiro proved to be an excellent shinobi and apprentice, easily learning all that he was taught by the man, whilst secretly training in secret. To gain the man's trust, he would form a fake smile and demonstrate new techniques he created with the use of his Metal Release, however he did not divulge the stronger ones, in hopes to attain the element of surprise as well as not to make the man paranoid of being overthrown by him.

Upon reaching the age of sixteen, Yoshiro was a perfect master of metal as well as his own emotions, using his arrogant and evil side to fool Takayuki into a state of comfort and trust into him, whilst simultaneously plotting to rebel against the man and erase him once and for all from existence.

Personality
Yoshiro's true personality is vague, evident by him constantly switching persona's, traits, reactions as well quirks to whomever he meets, in order to match the situation as well as mantain the element of surprise. However, it had been observed that Yoshiro was a natural pacifist, and disliked violence and wars. Hypocritically, Yoshiro seemed to be determined to fight and kill anyone standing in the way of his quest for freedom. A fake smile always crept upon his visage, tricking others into self-comfort as well as allowing him to gain their trust.

Yoshiro, due to watching Takayuki mercilessly slaughtering his parents, attained a dark persona, fuelled by determination as well as his lust for revenge. This side of him is evident in his battles, as he would mercilessly kill his opponents in order to live long enough to kill Takayuki without "hindrances" - referring to her opponents. This side of him allowed Yoshiro to be reluctant to form any social life, as he deemed bonds with others to be a waste of his time and life. He would then be a social recluse, and would only concentrate on killing whomever stands in his way, whether it was an ally or foe, without the slightest of remorse.

Yoshiro's dark side, however, is merely a cover-up for his true dreams and desires for peace within his village. And he would always remain loyal to his village. Despite him killing without mercy nor remorse, Yoshiro held morals and virtues within him, and would always try to help the children as well as adults in his village, rescuing a few from poverty as a result of the high tax rate accrued by the villanous Takayuki. Yoshiro has noted his dark nature to stem from his good side, as a means to protect and relinquish what he holds dear within his life.

Abilities
Yoshiro, from a tender age, possessed prodigious talent, and displayed tremendous potential as a fighter. This potential was great enough to grasp the attention of Takayuki, Kusagakure's strongest shinobi as well as ruthless leader. Under the tutelage of Takayuki, Yoshiro's prowess and abilities excelled beyond comprehension, and he was noted to be the second strongest within Kusagakure, only below Takayuki himself.
