Pre Academy Arc:
War has been a part of Kataki's life, before he was even born. While he was still in the womb, a war outside was causing a great toll of death for anyone around. When he was born, the war had not stopped and did not look like it was ending anytime soon. Both his mother and father took part in it, as they were both high classed ninja. However, since his mother had him, she was able to raise him, while his father would go off and fight. The war was broken up into several battles, and Kataki's father came home from each one. This gave his parents time to train him, at a young age, and push him towards a ninjas life, so he could defend himself, had something happened to his parents. At the young age of four, Kataki began to learn the basics of being a ninja, because the time called for it. They village of Iwa was lucky to have such great ninja, that they were still able to keep functions in their village going, but this would not last for much longer. His parents did not feel the need to push him, but they knew he was going to need the training. Kataki's parents were very loving of him and protected him with everything they had. At the time he felt like he was being forced to do work, while the other children in his village played. However, looking back he knew that it was a great thing his parents did, and without it, he would have probably been killed.

A year after Kataki started training to become a ninja, he was put in the academy. During that time, the Kage of his village made it so that any child of age, would have to be put in the academy. Many children there were the same age, or only a few years older. The time they lived in called for them to become ninjas and aid in the villages help as soon as they could. Kataki had already learned several things from his parents, he was lucky to have ninja as parents. Many of the children he saw, knew nothing about being a ninja, many had never seen one. Looking back, Kataki knew none of them could handle, because he too, could not handle such a thing as war, being so young. While he was ready to become a ninja, his parents hoped that by the time he was a true ninja, the war would be over, or at least he would not have to take part in it, but that was not looking to be happening anytime soon. Soon, many of the villages children where forced to go to the academy, and most of them were made to live there, because the Kage forced them to get the training done as soon as they could.

Academy Arc:
After meeting at the academy, after the kage forced the children to become ninjas, Kataki was separated from his parents. They were called off to war, and the time he got the see them, even so little it had been, it was turn to none. Now, all Kataki had to live for was to become a ninja as fast as he could, and hopefully he would see his parents again. He would get that sooner than he had thought, because all of the children in the academy where forced to live out their days in a few buildings, attending class everyday, for more than half the day. They even slept at their own desks and woke up just for class. It became almost like a camp where all they did was train and learn. The program was meant to knock out as much time as they could, and most of the children there, being Genin within Six months to eight months. Since Kataki was trained a little bit by his parents before hand, he was one of the children to graduate within six months. He put his mind to the test and really worked hard to become a ninja, even at the young age he was. Many of the children wanted out, but were forced to stay until they were done, or their families were threatened to be kicked out of the village. It was certainly dark times for Kataki's village. He did not understand what as was going on, but he wanted to do everything he could to stop it. He would have to be part of the war for that to happen.

Genin Arc:
Within a few days, Kataki was already assigned a team. This was not an ordinary team, like many previous ninja had. This team was made up for mostly Genin, some Chunnin, and two or three Jounin. Most of the ninja in the team had already seen the war, been hurt, and had been lucky enough to make it back to the village, and have their injuries healed. Before Kataki even got the proper training as a Genin, he was already sent out on something, he could never have imagined. He and many other genin where about to get there first hand battle experience, in war. They were each given several weapons to help support in battle, but many of the Genin had little training with these weapons, and they only knew the basic jutsu. Lucky for Kataki, he was born into a certain powerful clan, and he was held in high honors, and could help out in the war, just slightly. He was looking forward to fighting along side with his parents, once they got out into the battlefield, we would try to find them, he hoped they knew they were coming. They moved at night, because the battles were more active in the day. Many of the people taking part would retreat back to base as soon as the sun went down. Soon, right before nightfall, Kataki finally made it to the camp where he was stationed at, his parents were nowhere to be found.

Soon, Kataki was thrown right into battle, and wasn't even close to ready for it. Countless times he froze up, and was saved be an ally around him. Even though he was skilled than most of the genin he was with, there was just something in him that did not allow him to kill people. The thought of it made him cringe. which is why he froze up so often. It was not until one of his allies life was in danger, did he step in. If a friend of his needed a hand with something, he would step in without even being asked. While he never killed anyone. Still, the war put a toll on Kataki's emotional well being, and he had nights where he would dream of the events over and over again. He had already had several comrades die in front of him, and it was not something a young boy should have seen. And Kataki knew that in most places, things were a lot worse, because where he was at, wasn't heavily populated, and the enemy side, had not sent out many of their troops. Kataki had spent many nights worrying for his parents, and this was now the only thing keeping him fighting the enemy. He wanted to get passed them so he could be reunited with his parents once again. He would get to see them very shortly, but it would soon end in the worst possible way. Kataki had no idea the worst was about to be upon him.

After learning lightning release, Kataki was now more ready than ever to battle. He was happy to get the chance to finally fight along side his parents. While the two of them were worried, they knew that he had been through a lot, and he could fend for himself. Soon, the troops came, but this time, with many, many more. The Iwa Shinobi could not believe there eyes. They were going to be overwhelmed, and they all knew it, but they would fight until the very end. The high ranking Shinobi had to use all their strength in this battle, as well as get the younger ones to safety. They would not stand a chance against an army of this size. Soon, Kataki found himself on top of a large summoning, and he couldn't leave. He was tied done by something, and he tried his hardest to break free, but his body could not budge. He was forced to see many of the Shinobi die, while him and many over Genin retreated back to the village. His parents were among those who died, at least Kataki had seen that. It was a hard time for Kataki, war always was. As soon as they returned home, the Kage mustered up his remaining troops and would meet the army head at, at he villages gates.

Thinking he saw his parents death, really changed Kataki, and he was no longer the little boy that his parents knew. He was cold, and almost heartless. After the army had meet their demise, by the powerful Shinobi, the village remained in peace for only a few months. The army had only lost a faction of their members, and did not have time to focus on a smaller village. Kataki took this time to train, and all he did was train. He barely slept, and he barely ate. His body was getting in shape, but he was not healthy. He meet the ninja who his father had told him about, to teach him to train his rare ability. He spent all of his time training with this man. He wanted nothing more than to honor his parents in battle, than using there style of fighting. In the month of peace, he grew a little bit older, and learned the basics of combining elements. It was rather hard for him to understand, and he couldn't really use it all the well, but he had gotten a lot stronger, and was now ready to fight once again.

After training, the enemy forces had come, and this time, with more than the eye could see. The Shinobi seemed to kill many of them, but it was like they kept coming back from the dead. The troops overwhelmed the shinobi and overran the village. Many shinobi were killed in the process a few got away with secrets from the village, and went into hiding. Kataki was one of the few to get away, but he did not run. He was fighting, and killing anyone he could, but he was pulled from battle, by the very man who trained him, and they too went into hiding. Kataki did not go down without a fight, and the man, had to knock him out, to get him away, if he wanted to live. The two went into hiding, in a village hidden deep with in the forest, the army had no idea about. They were welcomed into the village right away, and they would be welcome to use anything they needed, as long as they protected them in times of need. Kataki wanted nothing more than to leave, and take revenge on his bastards who killed his parents, but he was always stopped before he could get out. He would not stand a chance against them, and the old man was willing to train him.

"Chunnin" Arc:
While Kataki was not apart of a real village, he spent years training with the old man, and would probably be considered a high chunnin rank, or at least a starting Jounin. He learned various things from the man, and was now getting good at combing his elements. He knew two of them, those bing Lightning and Fire. These two elements made Explosive release, and it was very deadly. While he still was not ready to fight the masses, it was time for him to move on, because the old man had taught him everything he could. It was time for him to move on, and see what the world had in store for him. He left the old man at the village, for several months, training on his own, and learning how the world was doing, in the many years they had been in hiding. It had seemed that rumor had that there was still a few villages around, Konoha being one of them. War was still going on, but it had seemed to die down a lot, and the shinobi forces were now winning. Kataki found this to be great news, and soon brought it back to the village that had so kindly took him in. He could not make it in time, to save the village, and he saw that they had just been killed. Even the old man that had trained him was killed. Kataki knew that the old man was no longer in his prime, and was not well enough to take on small group of people. Kataki felt stupid for leaving, but tracked the people that had killed the village, and confronted them.

After following a trail of fresh blood, Kataki soon made it up to the group of people that had killed the village. It had seemed on of the high ranking officers took a small group to kill a village that was rumored to exist. Kataki took the entire group on, and killed all but one, and that was the officer. He seemed to know a thing or two about what had happened in the war, and Kataki felt that he should ask about his parents. While the officer knew nothing about his parents, he did tell them that many ninja had been taken away, and they are being tested on, either dead or alive. Kataki knew that even if his parents were dead, he would find their bodies and give them the proper burial. He did not feel that their bodies needed to have anything done to them. He then killed the officer, who had begged for his life, and then he set out to find his parents, hoping they would still be alive. He knew that he would not rest until he found them, and take revenge on those who had harmed his loved ones. He wanted nothing more than to see the monster who lead the army, die in the most painful way as he could think of.

Time had passed, and his search had no leads. It had taken almost a year, to find one clue, and it turned out to be fake. If his parents weren't already dead, he was sure they were by now. He never gave up on his search, but he knew he had to put it on halt, because he knew now that he had to help his fellow shinobi rebuild. The war had seemed almost to an end, and now it was time for him to a join one of the remaining villages, and help them out. He found that the closet village to him, was the village hidden in the clouds, and he thought it would be the best choice to join that village. It had been weak at the time he did join it, but he knew he could help. He showed the Raikage at the time, he skill, and he was able to pass as a Jounin, since all the training he had done. He would soon make a name for him in the village.

Jounin arc:
While in the company of other shinobi, Kataki had seemed to calm down a little, at least while he was not in battle. He kept to himself most of the time, and did not wish to take part in training a genin team. Although he told himself he wanted to rebuild, and he tried the best he could, he still was seeking revenge. He had found a few more clues, but they were not enough to get what he wanted. He was able to take up missions killing remaining forces around the area, but this only felt the void for so long. He needed something more in his life than just seeking revenge. It began to drive him crazy, and many of the shinobi realized this, and brought it to the Raikage. He was appointed a Genin team, under the watch of Anbu, just encase anything happened. Lucky for the village, this did calm him down somewhat, and he really started enjoying the company of the his team. He was really getting a name for himself in the village, so much that many of the the normal people living there, knew his name.

About a year had passed, and his Genin were now Chunnin. He was much more of a calm man, but he still had thoughts of killing the people who had wronged him. It was about this time he wanted out of the village, but he could not leave. He had a job now in the village that had kept him more busy than he ever was. And added on too his training, he discovered he could use a third element. Not only was he able to use a third element, he discovered that he could also use his mother's clan abilities. While he had little hope of seeing them again, he hoped if he did, he could show them his new found abilities. He had a lot to live for, and he knew that his parents would be proud of him. He hoped that he could see them, but all he had left was a picture of them, that he would stare at every night. He also wished he could show the old man how much he had grown, but he knew he could not.

A few years into his time in the village, right before Konoha was destroyed, He heard a knock on his front door, late on night, and then heard the sound of a baby crying. He did not know what was going on, but he opened his door to see if anyone was there, and there was simple a basket with a note, and a small child inside of it. The note only said "Take care of him." There was no name, and Kataki searched for the mother for several months, but it seemed she had fled the village. The child was now his and he was free to name it. The baby had changed his view on life, and he was almost completely changed. The village had seen it, and after the Raikage had passed away, they thought he would be a great choice, but it seemed a man had arrived some time ago, and had gained the trust of the village, and was offered the title of Raikage. Kataki was glad that he was not give the title "leader of the cloud village."

Kataki had meet with this man, and began to build a friendship with the new Raikage, even to the the point, where he was appointed Sannin of the village. He was honored with the title, and this would give him access to leave the village. While he still wanted to search for his parents, his main goal now was to raise his son in a world of peace, if he could. He did not wish for war, or wished to kill anyone. Although he knew it must be done, but it was for the cause of peace. He wanted to see his son become strong, and be there with him every step of the way. In fact, still to this day, he never lets his son out of his sight, and rarely lets other people hold him. Although he lets the Raikage do so, because he his the Goldfather of his child. While, he hopes he never has to care for the child, he wants to keep him in save arms. Kataki hopes to train his son in whatever he wants to learn, as soon as he is old enough.

"Takashi Yoshino" He said it out load once, and in his head several times. "That name, sounds very familiar to me." Drac could not but his finger on where he had heard that name before, but it did no matter at this point. The boy could have been a trouble maker at one point, and it would not matter, he knew his manners and showed a lot of respect to those around him. He liked Takashi, it was a very good first impression on the boys part. "You are a very well mannered ninja, Takashi. I bet you make your father proud." He said with a smile. The boy looked like he was ready to go, and enjoy some food, and even more excited to get training. He was probably never formally trained, besides his days in the academy. That was probably the reason he was more eager to start training. Drac would have to hurry and find others, because he did not wish to keep the young genin waiting.

No friends? That seemed a little unfair for the little boy, and moving to anywhere new was not fun. Drac felt bad for the boy, just coming here, with no one to play with him. This was all too real for Drac. He felt Takashi pain, because he had been through life without friends. Drac would make it his goal to find someone Takashi's age that he would get along with. "Hey, I was new to this village once before." He said with a half smile looking at Takashi. "We'll find you some friends soon." He looked away from Takashi, and his smile went away. The truth was Drac still do not have many friends these days. People were still scared to go near him, even though he was a very kind man. The boy had more hope of finding friends, than Drac did. Takashi would probably lead a normal ninja life.

"Well, since you do not have friends, like I said before, we will go look of other genin together. They shouldn't be that hard to find, after all, this is a ninja village." After Drac had jumped on the building, he looked down and saw that Takashi had yet to follow him. He wondered why, but soon Takashi spoke up. "What do you mean you can't do this?" Drac was puzzled as to why this by, a genin, could not jump onto a building. He assumed they taught this kind of thing in the academy, it was very basic, and even some normal citizens could do it. Did Takashi know anything about chakra? How did he make it through the academy? He had heard of a similar thing from the leaf village, many, many years ago, but this case was very different. This really sparked Drac's interest to why he hadn't even learned how to jump like this. He folded his arms and sighed. "Well, I'll tell you wait, we'll travel on foot for now, and once we eat and train, you'll know how to do this, and a lot more."

Drac jumped down, still confused as to how Takashi did not know how to use chakra, at all. He was probably only skilled at using a sword, not even knowing the basics of being a ninja. This would prove a challenge for him and Takashi. It would almost be like teaching an academy student at this point, besides all the book work. Drac was sure he knew a little bit about being in a battle, otherwise the sword would prove useless. Drac looked ahead of him and started to walk. He would have to find other genin, so that he could train them as well. "Well, Takashi, I do have some questions to ask of you. Your case is." He paused for a moment, thinking of the proper thing to say. "Is, well, something I've never witnessed before." He was deep in thought, while he was talking, so he would pause more than often. "I won't know how its going to fare out, until I see you, on the training field. With that, we must hurry and find others." With that, Drac began to walk at a much quicker pace.

Drac sighed, because it had almost been an hour and there was no sigh of other Genin in the village. He thought it must have been the cold weather, and the snow. Most Genin were probably either on a mission, or resting indoors. This was troublesome, because Drac did not want to go searching in Genins homes. This would not prove well, if he entered the wrong home. He shook his head and looked down to Takashi. "Alright, Takashi, it looks as if there is no one out here. We'll have to eat lunch by ourselves, and train one on one, how does that sound?" He said with his same serious face. He was hoping that more genin would join them, but it could not be helped. He looked towards the direction of his house. "Alright, try to keep up." Drac said as he raced off to his house.

Soon, the two arrived at Drac's house. "Here it is." He said, as he opened up for the door for Takashi. "Go ahead and make yourself at home, while I prepare the food." Drac left Takashi in his living room, and went into his kitchen. He began pulling food from his storage, and started up his stove. "It should be ready within forty-five minutes." He said as he peered into the room where Takashi was.
