History:

Birth Arc:
A young boy was born in a small village, deep within Fang Country. It was never in his hands how fate would treat him. His mother was a smart and loyal women. She respected her family and friends to the highest degree. Friends and family would always be around the baby to help raise and take care of the mother and her child. The unfortunate side to this story is that there was never a loving father involved. He was a thug. A brute. A monster.

He belonged to a local clan known as Korosu. They were brutish men with high level of skill in Kenjutsu. It only happened that one night, the baby's mother had travelled into the local town for some groceries. The head leader just happened to catch a glimpse of her radiating beauty. He wanted her. He approached her and tried to be slick, but got shot down immediately by the baby's mother. In an angry rage, not being used to denial, the clan leader had taken her hostage and raped her. This was the conception of this baby boy.

Childhood Arc:
Even though have seemed troublesome or stubborn, the child was very intelligent. He was able to read people's faces and determine expression, emotions, and intentions. He always knew something troubled his mother, but never had the courage to ask. She put such a big effort into "acting" happy.

The boy was raised in the small village he was born in. This was his mother's home. Growing up was rather fun. He was taught to hunt, defend himself, and other useful life lessons by his loving uncles and friends. All was fun until one dreadful summer night. The small village was celebrating an annual festival until a large group of thugs interupted. They came wielding swords with great skill, slaughtering the villagers for the "fun" of it. The young boy ran through the village looking for his mother, tears streaming down his face. The cries of family and friends was unbearable for him.

When he found his home, he entered searching for his mother. As he turned the corner into one of the bedrooms, a tall man turned the corner. The young boy stopped and stared in fear. The man looked down at the boy, an emotionless gaze on his face. The little boy shook off the fear and ran past him into the bedroom. His mother and uncles laid motionless in a pool of blood. The boy's eyes widened in fear and anger. He wasn't able to hold his tears back. He began to whimper, but that came to a stop when the man from before came up behind him and thrusted the side of his hand to the boy's neck. The little boy had lost conciousness. The young boy was 7 at this time.

Korosu Arc:
Years had passed since that tragic night. From celebration to death, it will be a night the boy will never forget. He was now living in a smaller village with the same thugs who obliterated his former village. The same ones who killed his mother. This was the infamous Korosu clan. The boy never understood why they kept him alive and for what reason, but he went along. He had nothing else to live for but himself. They taught and trained him in their way of the sword. They taught him how to hunt for his food if he wanted to survive with them. The boy knew he'd have to survive if he ever wanted any kind of revenge on these people.

The other thugs watched as the boy hunted. He was almost invisible. He moved so silently, unnoticed, and came down on his prey in a swift motion. It was an amazing talent. Soon after, they would take the boy on hunting missions to replenish food supplies and sometimes on "other" missions. They did not phase the boy. After watching his skills grow, they named him into the clan. This was where Damaru Korosu was born. To keep silent and kill. Damaru was 11.

On-the-Run Arc:
Sick of the Korosu's cruel methods and actions, Damaru fled. He fled from their little village within the wilderness. He ran and ran, not looking back. He vowed to return one day and kill them all with their own methods and techniques. Tears ran down his face as he sprinted through the dark forests. He was sure once they realize he was gone, they'll hunt him down. He had to run and never stop. Not until he finds safety.

Damaru had ran for a day straight, with little breaks to get water from a river or lake. He had finally stopped in an open field and stared off into space. His mind was full of thoughts and questions. His family was dead. His friends were all dead. He had nobody. He was on the run and hunted for no apparant reason. Just for the hell of it, he supposed. They were monsters. Every single Korosu. Then it clicked in. Damaru had no memory of his real name. He only knew the title he was given by the damned Korosu. Damaru. Damaru Korosu. Overwhelmed with thoughts and emotions, Damaru collasped in the massive field under the starry sky.

A few hours had passed and Damaru laid in the field, unconcious from exhaustion. Mentally and physically. A wandering merchant had found the young boy and had picked him up in his caravan.

Konoha Arc:
Once Damaru had woken up, he was full of questions. The bustle of villagers and children's screaming awoke him. When he got out of the caravan, the merchant approached him. He explained on how he found young Damaru unconcious in a field and that he picked him up. That was 2 days ago. He also mentioned that they were far from where he found him. He came to Konoha - The Hidden Leaf Village to do some business. After a few hours, the merchant packed up and left. He couldn't take Damaru with him, so he left him with a nice young couple who would find him a place to stay.

After finding a home, Damaru was never questioned about his origins or anything of the sort. Most people assumed he was just another quiet village boy that was just shy. Eventually after meeting some other boys his age, he befriended them. They later on told him about the Academy and that he should sign up with them. So he did. Damaru was 12.

ANBU Arc:
After he enrolled into the Academy, Damaru soared through the ranks. He was an excellent student, a great fighter, and a little show-offy with his Kenjutsu skills. He was still ashamed though that those skills were learned from none other than the damned Korosu. Genin, Chuunin, and eventually Jounin. Damaru was a proud Leaf shinobi with great skill. He was famous for his assassinations and stealth. He was able to pull of many missions others thought were to be impossible. After a few years of recieving his Jounin rank, he was approached by the Hokage and asked to be part of his ANBU corps. Damaru was ecstatic and willingly accepted. Damaru was 22.

Damaru felt complete after becomnig an ANBU. No one could tell who he was behind that mask. He loved the idea of it. Missions were more vital and dangerous, but Damaru loved it all. He was able to preform at his best behind that mask. Years had passed as a trusted ANBU, but that was all about to change.

The Hokage had fallen ill. But the truth was, he had been ill for many years. Many weeks later, his heart had finally given out. The man who seemed indestructible, died of a heart disease. It was truly a shame. There was much speculation about appointing a new Hokage so soon and who it should be. The higher ups spoke with the ANBU commanders about a recommandation. It seemed that the higher ups had kept a close eye on Damaru for a long time. He was trust-worthy and loyal to the Leaf and a powerful shinobi at that. It would be a shame to let go of such a promising ANBU shinobi like Damaru, but they needed to appoint a new one before other countries sought to attack a weakened nation. The ANBU commanders approached Damaru and explained the situation. Damaru's heart sank. He wasn't upset, but greatly honored. But he knew it was a great responsibilty. He wouldn't be able to hide behind that mask anymore. Everyone would know who he was. But Damaru, willing to protect his nation, accepted the offer and was appointed the new Hokage of the Hidden Leaf. Damaru was 28.

RP Sample:
Damaru opened the door to the massive office. He slowly crept in, taking in the surroundings. He closed the door behind him. So this is going to be my office. He walked over to the desk and placed his fingertips on the top of the desk. It was covered with a slight layer of dust. He dragged his fingers on top of the desk as he circled around to the chair. He placed his sword leaning against the desk. He sat down. I'm going to be here more than on missions. He glanced over at a stack of paperwork. [/i]Ugh. Paperwork. Not quite what I had in mind for Hokage.[/i] Damaru sighed. He then looked up at the door and yelled out, "Can someone please bring me a coffee?!"
