Dorutan Ekazu/Adulthood

Dorutan Ekazu (ダルトンエイカーズ Eikāzu Dorutan) is a Shinobi and the First Jikanokage (最初時間影 Shodai Jikanokage) of Jikanogakure (隠れ時間村 Village of Hidden Time) and later became the Daimyō of the Land of Time (土地の時間 Tochi no Jikan) He is also the leader of the tag team Team Ekazu.

Being a descendant of the ancient Ekazu clan, Dorutan is a man of strong will who strives for peace and the protection of the weak. He seeks to inspire those around him with his unwillingness to give up and his strong sense of morality. His role as Jikanokage has allowed him to continue on his path of peace, a path that has seen him through dark paths that he felt were a test of his willingness to continue striving for goodness, even when evil holds its grasp on the world.

Because of his patience in battle, many of his comrades call him "The Patient Sage". Renowned for his wisdom, even at a young age, Dorutan always gives motivational advice to those who request it.

Appearance
Dorutan is a tall, fit and fair skinned individual. His eyes are deep blue with and orange markings surrounding the eyes similar to a user in Sage mode, but he is not in this state. His hair is long as it was when he was younger and has a combover on his right eye, along with several spikes behind it. His Kage outfit consists of a white, weighted robe with a black, turtleneck sweater underneath and the Kage hat bearing the village's symbol and colored white with blue accents. His casual outfit is a black, turtleneck sweater and dark grey sweatpants. His outfit during the Fourth Shinobi World war consisted of a suit of purple samurai armor designed similarly to the armor Madara and Hashirama wore, bearing Jikanogakure's symbols on the shoulder pieces. The armor has multiple, ergonomic rods on the inside that expand and contract depending on his movement. These control his chakra flow, giving him extra chakra when he needs it, and less when he doesn't.

Personality
Dorutan is a very kind individual, oftentimes putting his needs after everyone else's and not asking for anything in return for his help. He is very protective of those who are close to him, and is willing to put his life on the line if they come up against someone they can't handle on their own.

He is also very wise for his age, always speaking in riddles and words of wisdom, a lot of which many people take to heart. As he grew older, his wisdom only began becoming greater. Every word he spoke gave off an air of inspiration and motivation, inspiring even those who have long given up on their goals.

Two Years Later
After two years had passed, Dorutan was finally able to be rid of the medical casts that kept his injuries in check, but many scars were left from Zaku's attack which made people grow wary of him, and a lot of the villagers avoided him. Despite this, he kept his kindness and began training and perfecting his skills. Because of this, the one person who became interested in him was Tsunade, who admired his undying spirit and determination, reminding her a lot of Naruto. During this time, he awoken an ancient Ekazu Kekkei Genkai, the Tetsuigan (鉄眼 Iron Eye), which granted him powerful abilities. But because he didn't know how to fully control it, it left him physicall drained. Because of this, Tsunade, who was given the title of Fifth Hokage, had a medical ninja with him whenever he trained his Tetsuigan, and she even attended some of his training and gave him pointers on how to maintain a steady flow of physical energy.

From then on out, Tsunade became his mentor, training him in not only his Tetsuigan, but also in taijutsu and medical techniques. They developed something of a brother and sister bond during this time and would even spar together in their free time. Because of this, he also became good friends with Sakura, Tsunade's protege student, and even they sparred when they found the time. During this time, he had learned that his mother was ill and dying. Staying at home for a few days to look after her in her final days, Tsunade helped out with some of his tasks at home. After a week, his mother had finally passed. The next day, they buried Memina next to his father, Hiashi. Shedding a single tear, he promised that he would do everything in his power to continue on his path to peace.

Becoming A Kage
Finally gaining control of his Tetsuigan, he was attacked by a mysterious figure in a black coat with a red cloud on it. The attacker's identity was identified as Deidara. Using this as an opportunity, he activated his Tetsuigan and went on the offensive, but was initially thrown off guard by Deidara's explosive techniques, but eventually found a pattern and began getting close enough to deliver some strong, up-close attacks. Realizing Dorutan's strength, Deidara retreated. Not wasting any time, he made his way back to Konohagakure and warned Tsunade about this unknown threat.

His training was now focused on fending off the Akatsuki, further improving his taijutsu capabilities by training with Might Guy and Rock Lee, and went to Kakashi to train his Tetsuigan control. Another individual who took notice of his improvement was Jiraiya, who began to train him how to use his lesser nature release, his Water element. Along with teaching him some water based ninjutsu techniques, he tough him how to control chakra in its physical state, stating that this allows for a wide array of techniques that can be used. Jiraiya was impressed by Dorutan's goals of achieving peace, being reminded of Naruto, Minato, and Nagato.

After his training with Jiraiya was complete, Dorutan and him went their separate ways. Wanting to improve his skills, he continued training for days at a time until it finally became too much for him and he ended up passing out. Upon waking up, he found himself in a house inhabited by two toads, who surprised him at first with their grasp of speech. It was then he was told that he was brung to Mount Myoboku by a group of toad messengers making their way back from the villages. Seeing an inner potential in Dorutan and not wanting to leave him to his injuries so far off from the nearest village, they got some help from one of the larger toads and escorted him to Mount Myoboku. The Toad Sages were skeptical of bringing a largely unknown human onto the mountain, but nonetheless, they pondered on their potential decision. It was now up to time to decide whether or not the toads will train him in the use of Sage mode. A day passed by before they made their decision. They would train him, but it would be a long and difficult journey ahead. Despite the difficulties, Dorutan accepted their training.

After a few months had past and he mastered Sage mode, Dorutan was given a most important mission by Tsunade. An unknown group of Shinobi were plunging through the ruins of an unknown village long destroyed, but still held many secrets of the past, including many powerful techniques that would lead to danger if given to the wrong hands. Pursuing these pillagers, he fought them off admirably, but one of them gave him problems due to her not just her movement speed, but her hand seal speed, which almost matched Kakashi's, her ninjutsu and genjutsu abilities were also troubling. He had a lot of difficulty keeping up with her speed. Dorutan eventually gained the upper hand by activating his Tetsuigan, which increased his physical capabilities enough to where he could keep up with her. The two were locked evenly, but the bandit was not prepared for Dorutan's Flaming Dragon Fist Jutsu and was struck by the attack, rendering her unconscious. Looking through the ruins, he saw many things relating to the Ekazu clan, including scriptures of ancient techniques that ranged from healing to summoning jutsu and came to a realization. This was the ruins of his clan's original homeland. Learning all this, he approached Tsunade with the news immediately and requested that the village be rebuilt, even if he had to do it himself. Impressed by his determination of restoring his clan's village to its former glory, she allowed it, and even had some of the Konoha villagers lend a hand in its rebuilding. Among these people, Naruto, Sakura, Sai, Lee, Kakashi, Neji, Kiba, Shino, Ino, Guy, Jiraiya and many other Shinobi chipped into rebuilding the village. With everyone's help, it took only three months to completely rebuild the village. Some of Konoha's folk even agreed to become inhabitants of this new village, even the female Shinobi he defeated, which Dorutan named "Jikanogakure" (隠れ時間村 Village of Hidden Time), to reflect on it being hidden by the passage of time. After being realized as a stable village and part of a land not part of any of the nations, it was renamed the Nation of Time in honor of his village. Because of his natural talent as a strong leader, Dorutan was given the title of Kage by the Daimyo and would become the First Jikanokage (最初時間影 Shodai Jikanokage).

Pain's Invasion
Being summoned to Tsunade's quarters along with Naruto, Sakura, and some other Shinobi, Tsunade informed them that Jiraiya was dead. Having been killed by a member of the Akatsuki named Pain, they would come to learn that he was planning to invade Konoha with the means of capturing Naruto to remove the Nine Tails from him. Angry over Jiraiya's death, he requested that he help fight this threat should the time be needed, to which Tsunade agreed. After a few days had past, Dorutan secretly made his way back to Konoha after noticing six Akatuski members, all with orange spiky hair and similar facial piercings near the entrance. Quickly making it to the Hokage summit, Dorutan warned Tsunade that he believes Pain is about to make his move. In the initial phase of the attack, Konoha mobilized its forces, expecting only one intruder. Once Dorutan warned them that there was more than one attacker, the village switched tactics, focusing in on the diversionary Paths.

Dorutan would help Kakashi fight off the Deva Path but had just as much difficulty fighting him as Kakashi did. Every time he would get close enough to attack, he would be blasted backwards by Pain's Shinra Tensei (神羅天征). And when he attempted to use his Fireball technique, he would be pulled backwards by the Banshō Ten'in (万象天引) and again pushed back by the Shinra Tensei. Realizing he was no match for him, he escorted Chōji Akimichi to the Hokage Summit with the information he learned upon Kakashi's orders.

Across the village, Konan and Pain's remaining bodies began attracting the attention of Konoha's defenders. The Animal and Preta Paths then switched objectives. The Animal Path assaulted the location where Jiraiya's prisoner was being held and tried to eliminate everyone at the location. The Preta Path found and disposed of the body that Jiraiya had captured. The Deva Path located and spoke with Tsunade, but became irritated by her words. When the Human Path captured Shizune, Pain was able to discover where Naruto was.

The Deva Path had Konan and the remaining Paths evacuate while it used a large-scale Shinra Tensei to destroy the village and teach Tsunade "true pain." In a brief moment between when the destruction began and when it was completed, Tsunade had the remaining Katsuyu copies shield the hospital. Tsunade also dedicated what was left of her chakra to keeping the villagers safe. In the wake of the destruction, all that remained of Konoha was a large crater, the Hokage Monument, and huge amounts of debris, ruins, and half-destroyed infrastructures.

Having been saved by Katsuyu, Tsunade's summoned entity, he viewed what was left of Konoha and dropped to his knees in horror. Nothing was left but a crater where the town had stood. He was angry. Angry that Pain killed Jiraiya, angry that Pain killed Kakashi, angry that Pain destroyed the entire village. But despite this anger, he was too weakened to do anything about it.

Then, after a while, he saw Tsunade at the crater angrily chewing out Pain for his actions. During this, he saw Naruto appear along with the Toad chieftains. With a smile, he passed out from his injuries while a medical nin began healing his injuries.

He wouldn't regain consciousness until shortly after Naruto defeated Pain and made his return to Konoha. Despite this, he joined along with the people to celebrate Naruto's victory. The next day, he made his way back to Jikanogakure to begin informing the village of the news.

Time of War


It wasn't long after Naruto's victory over Pain that Dorutan would be part of the Kage summit to discuss the growing Akatsuki threat and came to a conclusion that all the nations should gather as one to fight this threat. After Sasuke attacked the summit, he went down with Gaara to see how the Raikage was faring. Seeing that Sasuke was still standing, he agreed to fight Sasuke with Gaara, but they were both beaten and Sasuke began making his way up to the summit. After recovering enough to move, Gaara, A, and Dorutan began to make their way back up to the summit room, seeing that Ohnoki had seemingly defeated Sasuke with his Dust Release technique. But before they could figure that out, a mysterious masked man who identified himself as Madara Uchiha appeared with Sasuke over his shoulder, warning them of Plan Tsuki No Me (月計画の目 Eye of the Moon Plan). After refusing to surrender to the plan, Madara declared war and disappeared. Finally agreeing on a truce, Dorutan and A insisted that rather than have one individual leading the whole force, have each of the Kages command specific branches of the newfound Shinobi Alliance. Dorutan wouldn't be commanding any branches, but rather would fight on the battlefield as an individual soldier.

Dorutan would find himself locked in battle with many of the Kages of the past. They each proved to be powerful opponents, ones even he had trouble fighting. But with the help of all the Shinobi that joined the alliance, it helped him out a lot as they sealed each of the past Kage. He, along with many other shinobi would find themselves battling the true Madara. Madara noticed Dorutan, sensing a deep power within him. They battled each other, and while Dorutan fought admirably, keeping up with some of Madara's attacks, Madara's vast superiority in many jutsu techniques left Dorutan unable to keep up with all of it. Even sending Madara through a mountain with a strike infused with the power of Sage mode and his Tetsuigan did nothing to hurt Madara. Madara would prove the superior fighter and while Dorutan was pulled back to recover, Madara made short work of the other shinobi who fought him. After Madara dropped two meteors down upon the battlefield, Dorutan realized the full potential of Madara's power and even felt unsurprised when he learned of Madara's Wood Release techniques knowing what he was capable of. Despite this, he fought Madara with the rest of the Kage, using his Tetsuigan to its fullest. Working in tandem with Tsunade's techniques, they both delivered powerful taijutsu attacks against Madara to little avail. Despite the odds being against him, Dorutan continued to fight through Madara's Susano'o clones with the rest of the Kage. It would prove to be futile until Kabuto attempted to sever the contract from the Impure world reincarnation jutsu, but even that failed to stop Madara as he began to pursue after Naruto to claim the Nine Tails. Finding himself bloodied and beaten along with the rest of the Kage, he barely sees Tsunade summon Katsuyu, who proceeds to begin healing the injured Kage.

Having been healed by the efforts of both Orochimaru and Katsuyu, Dorutan and the rest of the Kage were informed of the events that took place while they were being healed. After the healing was complete, the Kage began ranning towards the battlefield. Hearing Hashirama's pleas for a united shinobi world, the six Kage made their way to the battlefield, ready for battle. Having rallied the troops for battle, Dorutan begins attacking the Shinju's branches. After a while of this, Dorutan noticed Obito, in his Jinchuriki form, was weakened and Naruto and Sasuke were performing the tug-of-war to pull the Ten Tails chakra out of Obito. Grabbing hold of one of the tendrils, Dorutan began to pull with the rest of the Alliance. Letting out a yell, Dorutan gave one last pull and, along with the rest of the Kage and Alliance, pulled the Ten Tails' chakra from Obito's body. But despite all this, he learned that the black Zetsu took control of a weakened Obito's body and had it use the Samsara of Heavenly Life technique to revive Madara. Shocked, Dorutan looked upon the revived Madara in fear. Falling back with four of the Kage and the rest of the Alliance, he wished Gaara good luck in helping Naruto fight Madara. As the battle waged on, though, he noticed Naruto was in a weakened, almost dying, state after having Kurama removed from him. After Naruto and Sakura were sent to the Other Dimension, Dorutan overlooked the battle between Kakashi, Guy, Obito and Madara, hoping for the best that they'll be able to stop Madara.

After the War


After the end of the war and a decisive victory for the shinobi, Dorutan returned to Jikanogakure as a hero. Ushering in an era of peace, he drove his village to many technological breakthroughs, including specially crafted soil that can protect crops from any kind of elements that would normally harm crops. He also began designing weapons and armor that react to a user's chakra. Each suit of armor and every blade is one of a kind for each user. After fourteen years, Dorutan and his adviser Chieko, got married and bore a child, a daughter they named Heiwa (平和), meaning peace, to reflect the era of peace they were living in. After another eighteen years, Dorutan and Chieko began training Heiwa in the arts of Ninjutsu, Taijutsu and Genjutsu, along with training her to become the second Jikanokage (二代目時間影 Nidaime Jikanokage). Among this time, he was given the title of Daimyō of the Land of Time that Jikanogakure resides on. He traveled to Amegakure to see how it was faring since the end of the war. Having seen what looked like a utopia, he was amazed at how the city was rebuilt. In the town square was the three founders of Akatsuki, all who are now hailed as heroes; Nagato, Konan and Yahiko, all who gave their lives for the sake of their village. Dorutan decided to begin forming an alliance with Amegakure to gain a new ally in this age of prosperity.
