INTRODUCTION
His name is Kimimaro Kaguya. He is twelve years old and the lone survivor of the Kaguya Clan.
Born to a specially chosen female Shinobi from Konohagakure, the Village Hidden in the leaves; Kimimaro was a mirror image of his Father, not only inheriting his looks but also his talent as a Shinobi, and thus was given an identical name in order to sustain his Father's legacy as the chosen one.
Following his Father's anticipated death seven years later, his Mother immediately began to fear for their lives.
As a rare possessor of the Kaguya clan's Kekkei Genkai, Kimimaro had been trained to be nothing more than a weapon, to further Lord Orochimaru's agenda, and to one day become a worthy vessel for his aging body. He was nothing less than a monster. And his Mother, the only person who truly loved and cared for him, wanted a better life for Kimimaro.
It was after midnight when they escaped captivity, a crescent moon, the darkest of nights, both Kimimaro and his Mother successfully escaped the rule of Lord Orochimaru.
Concerned that her return would not be welcomed, the pair defected to Sunagakure, the Village Hidden in the Sand instead of returning to his Mother's familial homeland of Konohagakure. They were accepted as refugees and settled within the safe boundaries of the village.
Just a few months later, Kimimaro's mother tragically passed away and the difficulties he had already experienced adapting to regular life in the village, and as shinobi in training, only expanded and enlarged. Luckily, with the assistance of the Lord Kazekage Gaara, who did not want any child to be left behind, Kimimaro was able to continue to study at the Suna Ninja Academy and learn how to become a normally functioning member of the Village.
Sort of.
Although the routine and schedule of school was good for him Kimimaro was still labelled as an outcast, he was misunderstood - both feared and revered for his exceptional abilities. He was beyond the skill level and maturity of others his age and graduated as a Genin a year earlier than his peers at the age of eleven.
He was allocated to an existing, senior, squad who required a replacement team member. They were Squad Three. Akiko, Yumi and Kimimaro. Under the leadership of Hiroka-Sensei their squad completed many missions, including an A, and several B and C ranked assignments to become one of the most prosperous squads of Sunagakure at the time.
Less than a year later, Hiroka-Sensei nominated their squad for entry into the Chuunin exams.
This is where the story begins.
