Ieyasu Akimichi

Ieyasu Akimichi (秋道家康, Akimichi Ieyasu) is a shinobi of Konohagakure's Akimichi clan. At a very young age he was forced to kill his own mother under the command of his abusive father, psychologically scarring him and creating the dead, emotionless genin most people see today.

Background Information
Early on in his life, even as far back as his infancy, Ieyasu could recall faint memories of when his father Hirotada abused his late mother Chiyo. This was a common occurence throughout his life, developing small bits of the apathy that larely presides in his personality now as he had no chance to develop morals or ethics regarding the situation. Despite this, he still felt a great connection with his mother and as he grew up his own pain grew as he saw with open eyes: His father beating down on Chiyo with no mercy.

Eventually, this pain grew so much that he cried at nights just as he did before. Even some times he tried to stop the beatings, but he quickly learned to not do so as the beating simply turned on him for defying his father. This was a rather twisted ride however, as Ieyasu was treated to treats and other materialistic things on the better days. To the eye of the public and those who were not close enough to the family, they appeared like a perfect, ecstatic family that was starting to develop.

Like his father and his fathers before him, Ieyasu was enrolled into the Academy and began to learn the ways of the ninja. This young boy was the best of his classes, training day and night as he was forced to by his father so that he could be the perfect soldier to serve honorably for the Akimichi Clan. While he was not the most cunning of his class, his performance and skill in hand-to-hand combat was perhaps the best. Not to mention, but with training also came decent studying where he was able to learn the basic, fundamental concepts of chakra and just how it allowed him to use jutsu.

Drilling these studies into his head and training daily led to vast improvement across the years, around the time he had left the Academy he even knew the basic techniques he still uses now after his recent graduation from the Academy.

But despite this not all went well in the end, Ieyasu faced a greater woe that changed him forever at the spry age of 9 years old. Even constant abuse on a physical and emotional level where he was constantly degraded by his father, even an eternal hell of that could not compare to such a thing.

Halfway through that year, Ieyasu's parents conflicts became increasingly violent. Chiyo once even pulled a knife on Hirotada but her efforts were easily failed. One night, it climaxed with one night Hirotada beat down on Chiyo and broke her arms. Afterward while she lay on the ground, Hirotada looked to his young son and began, "Ieyasu, you need to become the best shinobi to proudly represent your clan. One of a shinobi's best virtues is to have no emotion. Kill your mom."

Of course, there was hesitance, Ieyasu even cried and screamed loudly although such things couldn't be heard well in the noisy prefecture of Konoha they lived in. After being threatened to be killed himself, Ieyasu was forced over the whimpering, black and blue body of his mother with his father's kunai in hand. Hirotada quickly pointed out the area of the carotid and juggular, and just like that Ieyasu plunged the dagger into his mom's throat and quickly sliced it apart. Memories would stain his mind forever, like the blood that quickly splurted on the left side of his face and covered even his own eye.

Since then, Ieyasu became mute and progressively turned into the apathetic young man he is now. After that traumatic event, his training continued if not more rigorously as his father breathed down his neck when the years drew on.

Most recently, Ieyasu has graduated from the Academy at a slightly younger age given his skill and ability.

Personality & Behavior
Ieyasu is noteable to most people for being a rather apathetic individual, his concern over most matters are little to none. The only thing that takes his attention is whatever concerns his career as a shinobi, the missions he undertakes, and the renown and valor he gains from such journies. This appears to be the only exception to this apathy, otherwise he can be cold and even mute towards most people unless to those people who deserve the appropriate respect and response from him.

In a sort of obsession with his own work to become the best shinobi he was trained to be under his malicious father's tutelage, Ieyasu has developed some sadistic tendencies in and out of the job. His fighting and insane strength for a kid as inexperienced as he is in real combat makes him quite the menace. Willing and with no mercy to break the bones and tear his opponent's flesh asunder if it means he can move past him like the obstacle he thinks of them as. These near savage tendencies make him a perfect soldier in development, although as time passes... something much darker and much more dangerous will come of this boy and hidden anger from years before will explode like a bomb.

Appearance
Ieyasu is boy of average height, training and hard work throughout his life even before his own hormones have picked up have caused him to develop some muscle mass although it is still masked behind the plump and spry features of this Akimichi. He has a short head of hair, tousled and messy in its light brown coloring. His eyes like the vibrant life in a great plains. Most often, Ieyasu wears a pair of split hakama with dark green coloring, a crimson obi sash, and a dark maroon kimono with yellow embroidering.

Abilities
Despite being a greenhorn of sorts in the field of shinobi, years of constant and brutal training under his dad's tutelage has forged Ieyasu into a fine young man. This can be shown through the results and his grades from graduating from the Academy, showing decent use of chakra control and showing some in-depth knowledge on the inner workings of the Akimichi hiden that he will eventually learn more of.

Chakra and Physical Prowess
Ieyasu has rather decent chakra reserves, although not having to use them too much as he mostly relies on converting his calories into chakra for his hiden. Even this not being too much of a hindrance he understand the basics of chakra control, not recklessly using chakra and exhausting himself before the fight begins. Unlike his average chakra levels, Ieyasu displays a superior level of strength at his young age; constant weight-lifting and other types of training to improve his physique. Along with this, Ieyasu has mixed this training with sparring as he fought his own father, eventually learning to use his strength and mimicing the Arhat Fist style that his own father uses.

Ninjutsu
As an Akimichi, Ieyasu converts his calories into chakra, giving reason behind why he and most others often have a husky physique of sorts. Ieyasu has displayed basic knowledge in the Akimichi hiden, being able to use its basis the Multi-Size Technique and further on the most common technique beyond that: The Human Bullet Tank. Beyond this however, he has to learn much more.
