Bio(s)
Namikaze "Kyuubi" Minato- Minato had a short tryst with Kushina Uzumaki, accidentally impregnating her. He never knew Naruto until his son was eight years old. He formed Okane Bail Bonds on his 26th birthday and his family was up for the challenge; everyone except his father who preferred the quiet life, doing 'research' for his novels.
Namikaze Naruto- Naruto's father had a one-night stand with Naruto's mother, Kushina. She desperately loved Minato and had his baby nine months later, but died a mere eight years after having him. Naruto moved in with his grandfather Jiraiya who re-introduced the father and son. When Naruto turned 16, he became a full time bounty hunter for his father purely on his mother's dying wish that he find his father again. At 18, he adopted his father's last name, effectively adding himself to the roster at Okane Bail Bonds.
Uchiha Sasuke- Sasuke came from a wealthy family of lawyers. He met Naruto when they were six and immediately formed a lasting friendship, sometimes bordering on lovers. When Sasuke was seven, his parents were murdered by an unknown person, leaving him and his brother alive. Sasuke vowed revenge and moved in with Naruto and Kushina. The following year, Naruto's mother died from rabies that she contracted from a rabid rat and the two boys moved in with Jiraiya. At 16, Sasuke joined Naruto when he became a bounty hunter for his father.
Sabaku no Gaara- Gaara came from a family that didn't really love him. His father, brother and sister blamed him for his mother Karura's death. Of course, he wasn't at fault because she died in childbirth. He was abused for several years before he was moved to his Uncle Yashamaru's for safekeeping. He was fine until he reached nine when his uncle came home drunk and tried to rape him. Gaara snapped and killed his uncle and the mark has been on his record ever since then. He met Naruto and Sasuke when he was 12 and they became fast friends, even if Gaara was a little reluctant. Naturally, he joined the boys when they became bounty hunters and his background often gets him in with many of the bounties' friends making him an essential ally.
Rock Lee- Lee didn't know the boys personally until he met Naruto at the age of 15 when he transferred into the same high school. At hearing that Naruto's father was a bounty hunter, he quickly volunteered. He is also an essential ally because of his large background in the martial arts. He officially signed on at the age of 17 along with a friend of his, Hyuuga Neji.
Hyuuga Neji- Neji came from a wealthy family as well, and inherited what his father called, 'The genius of the Hyuuga clan.' True to his father's words, Neji is a fast learner and has a sharp memory both regular and photographic. He's a great ally because of his smarts and joined Rock Lee at the age of 17 when they became official members of Okane Bail Bonds.
Uchiha Itachi- Itachi is the older brother of Sasuke Uchiha. Since he was only 12 when his parents were murdered, he moved in with Jiraiya and Tsunade along with his younger brother. However, he was involved in a gang from 15 until he was 20 and was constantly stealing cars, robbing houses, stores and people off the street, and conning people out of their money. He was sent to jail after he failed to murder a record executive due to the fact that the head of the gang turned him over to the police, giving them valuable information on him. He got a light sentence because of who his parents were and received only five years. He was no longer welcome in the gang after he was incarcerated, so he returned to Jiraiya and Tsunade, reconciling with them and his little brother and joining Okane Bail Bonds with the group of them. He is a welcome ally in the group since he knows how a gangster's mind works, still knows where most of the gangs hang out and know who will be good for information. He has taken a liking to his little brother's best friend, Naruto Namikaze and often teases him just to get a reaction out of him; whether it is playful or angry, he seems to take it in stride.
Namikaze Tsunade- Tsunade is Minato's mother. She, along with her husband Jiraiya, took in Naruto and Sasuke when Kushina died and introduced them to Minato. She took a quick liking to Naruto because of his mother's spirit that he inherited and was the one who suggested to Minato that Naruto be made a bounty hunter. She holds an influential role in the boys' lives and despises being called 'old'. She also has surprising strength and is a force to be reckoned with when she's angry. She also doesn't look her age.
