Ryou grew up in the south of Konaha. His parents shared a house with him and his brother and had jobs as a medic and a hairdresser. They lived happily, although they had regular disagreements with their narrow-minded neighbours. It was in the middle of a hot summer, when a fire started in their house, and it collapsed, his parents and three year old brother died leaving Ryou an orphan. The case was treated as suspicious but no conclusion was ever made. Three months later, his neighbour committed suicide. A short investigation revealed little more. He mourned the loss of his family for over a year, living miserably in his sorrow, then started skateboarding. Skateboarding took his mind of his family’s death and he was able to lead a normal life for a long time. When he was ten he decided to enrol in the Ninja Academy. For his first few month he was an under achiever, until during some taijutsu training he was beaten badly by a reckless ninja. He suffered minor fractures and his arm was in a sling for a two weeks. He then started showing signs of improvement as he started to try harder, determined not to lose again.

The two boys stepped up to each other, both thinking of the fight to come. The taijutsu training was harsh but necessary. The hot sun beat down on them as a bird chirped high in the air, with a shrill cry. Both boys knew that by the end of this fight one of them would be beaten and bruised. One of the boys, Ryou, sauntered up to the mark gazing at his open surroundings, and he heard the low murmur of the other students as they whispered about who would win. Most students where saying that the boy who stood before Ryou would beat him to the ground but the red haired teen thought otherwise. The opponent who stood before him was tall even for fourteen. “The bigger they are, the harder they fall.” He thought to himself. The boy in front of him had a very dark shade of brown hair and was built quite heavily. The kid reminded Ryou of the trolls you hear about in legends. The boy’s face was squished up and his nose was bent at a crooked angle, and he had large biceps lining his arms that suggested he trained heavily and frequently. Ryou smiled to himself. This was going to be easy. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a bin piled high, with decorative grooves on it and a small rim. Damn it! He was getting nervous! He didn’t have time to be looking at his surroundings; he had to focus on this fight. He clenched his fists and started trying to anticipate his opponent. A small twitch of his shoulder. His eyes flicking around. It seemed he was just as nervous as Ryou himself, although he was hiding it much better. Ryou was nervously tapping his hand with his fingers in a fast and frightened beat, when their teachers shouted go he wou- “FIGHT!” The yell of the teacher interrupted his thoughts and he was unprepared for the first blow from his enemy. It was possible the simplest move of all; a quick jab to the face, but Ryou found himself falling backward with a bleeding nose. He steadied himself with his back foot, and wiped the blood away trying to act cool, but the pain was intense. He was ready now. Adrenaline pumped into his blood and he dropped to a low fighting stance. Neither student moved. Ryou decided he would attack first, hoping to catch his opponent off guard. He charged forward and aimed a kick at his opponent’s legs. As he had hoped his opponent jumped the attack just as Ryou launched a jumping kick sending his enemy spinning to the ground. Ryou allowed himself to revel in this small victory, but it did not last long. Like thunder after lightning the punches rained down on Ryou. The most the boy could do was cover his body with his arms. Then his arm was seized and he was thrown to the ground. All his body weight landed on his wrist with a sickening crunch. Ryou felt dizzy but the pain that came from his arm afterwards completely dulled that. The youth on top of him had broken his arm at the elbow and it was jutting out gruesomely. The last thing Ryou remembered was being turned over and receiving punch after punch to his bloodied face.
