Hakui Kurama

Background
The son of Navus Uchiha and Karina Uchiha, Zetzu was born as an odd boy. He was a natural loner and never liked having friends around him, as he had some idea all his friends would stab him in the back one day, an idea that faded over time. Also, he did not seem to bear the legendary UchihaCurse of Hatred, which both of his parents possessed. When Zetzu was 6 he was enrolled into the Konohagakure Academy and was a powerful shinobi in basic Ninjutsu, Genjutsu and Taijutsu. Yet for some reason, Zetzu never showed this talent. He purposely screwed up over and over again in order to appear "average". He could have easily been one of the top students in his class, due to his talent and high intelligence, yet he purposely didn't. He was the type to fade into a crowd, and preferred to hide his Uchiha Bloodline from others, usually making him surnames if people asked, which they usually didn't. By the time Zetzu was 9 he passed his Academy Graduation with top grades, a surprising feat to his teachers, considering his "average" test grades before. From there, Zetzu was assigned to a sensei, and given the Bell Test. Unlike other teachers, who use this test as a ruse for teamwork, Zetzu's sensei used this to weed out the weak, and use it for as it truly was. The third person who could not retrieve the bells was sent back to the Academy or dropped from the program. Zetzu and another member, the female member of the team managed to get the bells from their Sensei through a series of repeated attacks and tricks. The third teammate, was sent back to the Academy. A replacement for this team member was never really found, and the team worked just as well with two as they did three. During the year that Zetzu was genin, he met the future Otokage, Trev on a mission out of the village. The conversation between the two was unknown. Yet the Otogakure Shinobi soon trained the young Konoha Genin in secret. This continued until Zetzu reached the title of Chuunin within Konoha. When Zetzu was 10 he and his fellow teammate applied for Chuunin Exam and passed all the tests easily and killed his fellow teammate during one of the Third Round matches. Once Chuunin, Zetzu took the job of Gatekeeper of Konoha with his own team, which he held until he defected. During his time as Chuunin, he was recruited by a man named Yukimaru Uchiha, who recruited him and three others to help him hunt down his brother Ryu, who would later become known as Kamen Ryū. It was with this group, that Ryu first met his rival. The first battle resulted in everybody but Ryu and Zetzu lying on the ground, unconscious. A long battle ensued, but eventually resulted into Zetzu's victory due to his superior strength (at the time). This resulted into Ryu making Zetzu his rival before retreating the battlefield. Zetzu, thinking that this could be interesting later, left, leaving his former comrades behind and returning to his duty in Konoha. Over the course of 6 years, both Zetzu and Ryu had many battles, the final one which led to Ryu's "death"via Chidori. Zetzu left Konoha soon afterwards for unknown reasons, and moved to Otogakure, where he now resides

Personality
As a child and during his years in Konoha, Zetzu was a loner, preferring not to be around others out of suspicion yet he kept this fact hidden, and hid behind a mask of kindness and happiness of little things, always smiling. Yet when faced with a real problem, the face used to peel off, revealing his usual self, yet ten times colder and willing to sacrifice others for his cause or ideas. Once Zetzu left Konoha, he had created a new mask. Instead he acted cold and mean to everyone but those close to him, and is unwilling to listen to those. He also had a false sense of honor, thinking that if you are losing, you gain no honor in running away, but if you die in battle, that is real honor. This, like Zetzu's last personality, was also a mask. He didn't really believe in that sense of honor, or honor in general, and while he is still cold and mean, he is much more calculating and perceptive, ready to pick up on anything that seemed out of the ordinary. His personality mask is mainly used to fool people into thinking a sort of way, which leads to underestimating and judgement, both fatal flaws in a warzone. Yet, Zetzu respects those with strength, and majorly respects his former sensei and Yondaime Otokage, Trev.

Appearance
Zetzu is a light skinned young boy with a long scar running across his left cheek. His standard attire consists of black pants, black shinobi sandals, a black T shirt covered by a black zip up long sleeve jacket, with multiple zippers located around the jacket. It also has a line and spiral pattern, which mixes perfectly with his black clothes theme. He usually wears his Otogakure Forehead Protector on his arm, covered by his jacket usually. On occasion, he wields a Katana that he stole from Ryu the night that Zetzu "killed" him.

Abilities
Nature Transformation

Zetzu Uchiha is capable of using three chakra natures in total due to intense training and natural skill, Fire Release, Lightning Release, and Water Release. His skill in Fire and Lightning Release is close to S-Rank yet his Water Release could probably be judged as C-Rank in skill. Due to his Uchiha Bloodline, his skill in using the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique is mastery at this point, due to completing the rite of passage soon before he joined the Konoha Academy. His skill in Lightning Release has also escalated to a point where he is capable of using both Chidori and Lightning Cutter and their respective variations.

Genjutsu

As a child, Zetzu always enjoyed playing mind games on people, confusing them and basically just making them think. He had a special interest in Genjutsu because it tricked the brain into seeing visions and illusions and manipulate the brain into making the victim see what you want them to see, just by using chakra. Even without his Sharingan unlocked, Zetzu uses Genjutsu just as frequently as he would if he had the Sharingan, making sure to trick his opponents and keeping them paranoid and on their toes. Watching people break down mentally is also something he enjoys

Soft Physique Modification

Soon after Zetzu defected to Otogakure, he participated in surgery that allowed him to dislocate their joints and control their softened body with chakra, allowing him to stretch and twist any part of his body at any angle, elongating and even coiling around his opponent. Using this, he is able to take Taijutsu to a whole new level, being able to dodge attacks he couldn't normally dodge and attack at much longer distances than a normal human can.

Summoning Technique

By creating and signing the summoning technique with Centipedes, he is able to restrain his opponent using their long bodies and legs. He usually summons life size centipedes that are capable of restraining but will occasionally summon a larger then life centipede, depending on the situation. Although not part of his main attacks, he uses them to keep his enemies in place, and restrain them in battle for an easy kill.
