Early years
Mardoc was born to Akada Itou (his mother) and Kotaro Itou (Father) at a Konohagakure hospital. The hospital was over packed and understaffed. Akada went into a premature labor, while Kotaro sought help and doctor found her in pain and delivered the baby. The baby was the oldest and only child of the two parents. He was born with deep sapphire eyes just like his mother, and dark hair like his father. Mardoc was named after his grand-father, and shinobi that died in combat. Mardoc grew up on the right side of town, a very friendly neighborhood. Mardoc was barely able to walk when he saw his father spar with his uncle. The two loved to test each other’s abilities. Mardoc contistly watched them even when his mother told him not to. His father was a good man; he had a thin chin and a round face. Mardoc’s father kept his long black hair in a ponytail. Mardoc remembers the long dark ponytail of hair above anything else when he remembers his father. When Mardoc was only one year old his father had a training accident. He was training with other jounin when one of them set off a paper bomb close off to him, Kotaro jumped with the explosion and fell unto a rock, which snapped his neck instantly. The whole event made his mother hysterical and she didn’t want Mardoc to become a Shinobi. Mardoc was too little to understand everything that had transpired. His mother started to drink and become abusive which Mardoc would have to live with for years to come.

At the age of four Mardoc had shown signs that he could use ninjutsu, and he preferred the fire element much like his father. His uncle had token him from his mother’s custody. His mother spiraled into a deep depression and began to resent and ignore Mardoc whenever he came around. His uncle took the responsibility (having no children of his own) to take care of Mardoc. His uncle was a medical jutsu specialist and worked at the hospital, he started to call Mardoc “Doc” due to his desire to make sure everything was completed fully and right, him being protective over his village, and his will to help all of his fellow villagers. Mardoc’s uncle was decided that Mardoc should follow his father’s footsteps and become a shinobi. At the age of five Mardoc was enrolled into the Konohagakure Academy for Ninja.


Academy Arc.
Mardoc’s adaptation to a class room was hard at first; he was an isolated kid in his early years. His only real interaction was between his mother and uncle. At first he didn’t talk to any of the other kids. He felt that he was out casted from them. A few days into the academy the kids invited him to play with them, Mardoc became a natural with other people once he came out of his shell. He studied to learn all of the needed ninjutsu to graduate. Mardoc enjoyed learning all the ninjutsu he could, he told his uncle he wanted to excel in fire ninjutsu like his father. He uncle smiled down at Mardoc and told him after he got the basics down he would gladly show Mardoc the robes in ninjutsu. That day seemed like everything was going Mardoc’s way, until a man in a white animal mask appeared. He talked to Mardoc’s uncle beyond Mardoc’s ear shot. His uncle’s expression was grim. He told Mardoc to continue his studies Mardoc did so. His uncle didn’t return until late in the evening. The next day Mardoc would learn that his mother had killed herself. This made Mardoc feel alone in the world, he had known both of his parents and now they were gone. His class mates made him a lot better by inviting him to their houses and hung around him. This made Mardoc feel like the village was hid family and inspired his loyalty to his village. Mardoc progressed through the academy and got all the basics down and he graduated from the academy at the age of 11.

Genin Arc
After the academy Mardoc’s uncle held true to his promise and taught Mardoc some of the back fire ninjutsu. Also upon graduating Mardoc’s uncle gave Mardoc a very special give, it was his father’s headband. Mardoc took the head band and promised to only wear it in battle; his uncle also made him a black vest to help him in battle. Mardoc spent most of his time practicing his jutsu. Mardoc showed interest in learning taijutsu. During the time he spent learning taijutsu he had grown a liking to kicks over punches. Thus he altered the way he moved and fought around his kicks. Mardoc once asked his uncle “Would there be a way to improve my fire?” His uncle told him that it would just take time for him to get better at his ninjutsu. Mardoc continued to practice his jutsus and combat understanding. He studied battle tactics and strategies from the local library, while reading he learned that wind element jutsus could be used with fire element jutsus to amplify the power. Although Mardoc showed little interest in the wind element he did take the time to learn a few new jutsus to make himself better in combat. As the winter months approached Mardoc’s uncle received a letter stating that medical ninja were needed in the field and he had been called to duty. Mardoc had hoped that he may get the chance to see his uncle in the field. Mardoc had and will continue to train to become a shinobi his village would be proud of.

.

Mardoc was stretching and getting ready for his training. ‘Maybe I’ll work on my kunai throwing or maybe increasing my speed’ The fundalmentals were important to any Genin. And Mardoc was far from mastering them. Being a light weight lad gave him a speed avantage over bigger opponents in fights, but also mean he wasn’t as physically strong as the others. He was hoping to perhaps learn some ranged ninjutsu or maybe in the future use some Genjutsu. Taijutsu was deffinaitly out of the question for Mardoc, unless he could figure out a way to use his speed to compensate for his lack of arm muscle, or maybe throw kicks more often than punches. Thoughts on how his training would unfold he heard a male voice off to the side.

"Hey. Mekura Uchiha.” The young man introduced himself as “I'm about to do some training as well. Would you care to join me? .......Ooh. I almost forgot. Your name must be.....?" Mardoc looked at him, just a inch or so under Mardoc’s own height. Mekura Has long black hair and matching black eyes. His skin was a lighter shade than Mardoc’s. He was wearing a black hoodie with off-white pants. What caught Mardoc’s attention was the symbol on the front left of the hoodie. It was the easily recognizable fan of the Uchiha. It would make sense, he introduced himself as much.

“Sure, Mekura, my name is Mardoc Itou.” He fixed his eyes on Mekura after a moment of a stare down another voice appeared out of the woods. Mardoc saw the man, taped hands and arms, a mostly blue loose outfit. The man spoke, "Hello guys...how about you guys show one of your dear Jounin how the genin represent themselves nowadays?..." The man’s hair was bi'mafaggotlack much like Mekura’s and Mardoc’s. His hair’s length was in fact longer forming a ponytail, his facial hair was also unkept. Mardoc saw that the man was also smoking a pipe. Quick flashes of memories of his own father smoking ran in Mardoc’s head, his focus was reestablished when the man continued to speak. "My name is Enden. An elite Jounin.” This is what caught Mardoc’s attention over anything else. An elite Jounin. This would be perfect for Mardoc to see how far he has come during his last spar.

“I agree to your terms of a two on one spar” Mardoc looked at Mekura, “Let’s show him he aren’t just push overs.” Mardoc reached into his pouch and pulled out his Tsurugakure head band and tied it tight. “My name is Mardoc Itou.”
