Introduction
Hounds Beginning
He had been in this cell ever since he had left the highest rank which was not king. Well, that is, in military standards.
His counterpart was considered a prodigy, and why not? He was entered into the program at the age of 4, and graduated six months later, a genius they said. However, the civilians only saw him as a project, a killing machine with no emotion. And in truth if anyone had met him they would have thought the same thing. This little boy had no outward emotions. It was at age 7, when most children were entered into the program when he ascended to the next level-chunin. He never did the mediocre chores most children (they were mostly 12 when they graduated) did freshly out if the academy. Instead he went on missions where he was ordered to protect the lives and cargo of others.
It was on one of these missions - when he was 7 to be exact - when he killed his first man. "Kill or be killed." "Have no emotions." it was these rules the boy lived off of.
At the age of 12 he had already been sent out to infiltrate enemy camps, and killed 30 men and women. And it was during his 12th year he gained a team, and yet another promotion - team captain - second in command only to his team's instructor. It wasn't until he was 13, however, that he was charged as the sole captain and rose to jonin. And it was on his first mission as a jonin leader he lost an eye to the enemy, gained a friend from his rival and most hated companion, lost said friend, realized the truth in what his country's motto really meant, and gained his newly found friends eye. It was also the day he became known as Copy Cat nin.
Many lost friends and family during the 3rd Great War, he less than others. But it was the war which earned him his name and new status. A status less than the Black Ops but still high enough to be sent out on S-rank missions.
It was peaceful for a while, but the war had already planted the seed that would lead to Hound. It was just a small seed, but with every mission where killing was involved it grew, as a seed does in the right climate. But this new plant, was still weak, and it would take the killing of his sensei who had become king, coupled with the disappearance of his remaining teammate to finally let the plant become a tree.
Right after the death of his king this teen, who was older than his years, accepted a letter which would get him into Black Ops. Silent, and hidden in the shadows, this group took the highest ranking mission-many of which were suicide missions-to protect their country. He was the youngest in his time to enter such a high rank, as he was for all of his promotions, and why wouldn't he be? He was a prodigy. He entered into the status with ease. But slowly he let the tree, his other half whom everyone referred to as Hound, take over.
Hound was perfect for the job. Emotionless, ruthless, and a high success rate in mind. He was one of the few who didn't mind taking suicide mission after suicide mission. In fact he lived off of them, they were his new life.
As Hound took over the teens body the teen stayed safe in his mind, watching as a spectator, and if it was to gruesome he shut the door which allowed him to see, feel, and be through the life of Hound. He stayed in there for five years-only coming out when something brought light into his darkness called life.
During his five years in the Black Ops he slowly rose to the top of the ladder and became Black-Op Captain, second only to his King. After five years though the king knew the boy had been through too much, and anymore would let Hound forever take over his body and the boy would finally be truly emotionless except for; anger, hate, loyalty to his kingdom, but most fearsome of all guiltless to his kills. In fact the King was terrified Hound was already thriving off of his kills. And so the king reinstated the boy as a jonin, and gave him no higher than A-ranked missions. The ever-faithful boy took Hound and chained him to a wall, he left the room closing the door behind him, and started life anew as a slightly whacked up jonin.
