Manami Uchiha

Origins: Kenai was not your ordinary medical ninja by any means. He was born a dreamer. His dream was to become the most powerful ninja in the world. With this goal in hand and some parents that had enough money to get him into the best of the Ninja schools anything was possible. As he grew and aged, so did his talents for healing people. In the eyes of a spoiled brat though being able to heal other people did not help him in the least of ways. Upsettingly at just 14 years old the little boy ran away from his perfect home to go out to find true power. Of course ever adult knows that true power isn’t just found its earned. The lesson that the poor boy Kenai had to learn was just this. It wasn’t really until he had the misfortune of getting into a fight with a young Uchiha boy that he truly became humbled to the idea. Not helping though was the teenagers serious lust to become the strongest, so strong was this desire that he began to devote himself to cheating in life. Now it can be argued that you can’t really cheat in life, but Kenai was by far going about things the wrong way.

At just 18 years of age, Kenai had done something that most medical ninjas would be in awe of. He successfully cloned a rat. Surely cloning a rat didn’t seem like all that big of a deal, but if you were a medical ninja your respect for the young man who accomplished such a task would greatly increase. Yet as stated before Kenai didn’t really do things the right way in life and he took a short cut. Instead of actually figuring out how to clone a rat he went out and stole the knowledge on how to. With his ‘How to clone a rat.’ book in hand it was no wonder he was able to do such a procedure. The real thought for Kenai though was if he could clone a rat, he could clone a human. This semi simple theory would prove correct but like all scientists/medical ninja found out, mother nature has its ways of keeping people from playing god. His first clone was that of his own DNA because of how easy it was to get his own blood. The clone was perfect in every way shape and form, but as the baby grew older some vital flaw began to develop. Firstly the clone version of Kenai was completely different in personality. Secondly his clone only lived a short 4 years before dying. The mystery of why his clone died bothered Kenai, but since he himself didn’t know the actual science behind the cloning procedure he couldn’t even determine his flaw. With the thoughts of it just being a simple mistake and the rest of his life to get it right, he spent another 11 years cloning himself until finally one day he got it. It was the dumbest of things actually and anyone who had not cheated like he did would have solved the issue differently. The particular cloning process he did scrambled parts of the body reversing it for the most part. Should one do simple change in the gender of the clone to the opposite of the original all the problems would go away. Truthfully it didn’t matter the gender change. It was actually Kenai making a simple mistake on all his previous clones. When he thought of the stupid idea of making the next one female and he actually re-read the how to book following the directions to a better degree he thought it was because the clone was female. Even later in his life Kenai was idiot who wanted power.

Being in his mid 30’s left Kenai with that ‘Maybe I could have done something different with my life.’ feeling. The feeling was short lived though when he heard of a baby boy that was born in Konohagakure. Babies were born everyday but this particular baby boy was special to not just the crazy 36 year old man but also most of the world. The baby boy was of the purest of Uchiha blood and would probably be the next great Sharingan user. With money and cheap tricks in hand, Kenai set off to steal just a drop of the babies blood. When the ‘great’ Kenai finally found the baby boy he was much surprised to find a boy of 2 years of age. This did not stop or even slow him down though and surprisingly he had no issues with stealing some blood. Feeling like everything was going perfect that very night Kenai ran back to his labs to make the clone. With the change in gender all was perfect with the world for Kenai. His plan of raising a baby Uchiha and then stealing the eyes for his own would no doubt in his mind make him the most powerful ninja ever.

Pre-Birth/Birth History: The fetus of the uchiha girl was small and ever so ugly when inside its little tank. It wasn’t the fault of the life form that was to be beautiful that it was currently not all that appealing. Most people would have found it disgusting that a person would clone anything and then put it on display. Of course Kenai was not most people and every day he liked to look at the fetus to see day by day its growth. So anxious over the birth of the baby girl was the man the he even went as far as to build a timer that counted the minutes. The timer even had a buzzer so that he could know when to take the baby out of its ‘oven’. Such a waiting game bothered Kenai and he spent the day either staring into the tank where the fetus was or coming up with plans for his own little domination scheme. Little did he realize that the thing he thought was going to make him very powerful was actually gonna make him very much so dead.

A little into 8 months of sitting and watching a fetus grow into a baby, Kenai began to show signs of hysteria as he would check the timer to watch the second hand go around and around. Finally though the hand went around for the final time and the buzzer went off. Quickly he removed the girl from the tank and proceeded to finish up some of the various things that all newborns have done to them. Amazingly the uchiha girl actually survived the process since in most cases it was considered that only 1 out of 10 would survive. Kenai by far had some incredible luck. With a baby in hand that could change the future of the world his head began to spin. Oh what power he had and oh what little did he know. Sure enough almost two days after he finally had the baby in his hands Kenai was killed by a ninja who had been hired to find out what Kenai was doing. The hired ninja, not having any orders to kill a baby girl, decided to keep the baby. Little did he know the amount of time, work, and effort that the man he killed had put into the baby. Poor Kenai never even got to see the eyes of the baby he had finally created before he was killed, but life had a weird way of making sure that all was fair.

0 - 5 Years of Age: At just a week old the baby Uchiha girl had seen more death then most grown men ever saw. The ninja that had taken her was attacked by a rouge group of bandits and although he won the fight he didn’t win the battle against death. Bleeding out with a baby in his arms the ninja wondered why he even had bothered holding the thing that was probably gonna die. With no mother to care for the infant the odds of survival were near impossible. Yet the luck of this baby girl seemed endless. A group of travelers found the bloody corpse of the ninja and the battle scarred region. Finding the baby one of the women of the traveling group decided to claim the infant as her own. Little did she know of the origins of the child, for if she did it would have been instantly decided that the baby be stuck out in the woods to die. No mere peasant wanted to deal with a child that was both unnatural and Uchiha. Should an Uchiha clan member have ever found out about the child they would have killed all involved and brought the baby back to be raised properly. However this was not part of the infants incredible luck.

It was around this time that the woman that found the infant decided to name it. Not knowing what the baby was to become she simple thought of the most pleasant of names she could. Manami, which stood for Love, affection, and beauty. The next few years in Manami’s life were simple and had virtually no impact on who she was. The peasants raised her well being the best family they could for her and were she a normal child things would have been perfect. Yet an evil dwelled in the little 2 year old girl that caused her have a twisted view on the world. These twisted thoughts became obvious to everyone in the village when she was playing with the other small children. Even at a young age Manami thought that causing pain to others was ‘funny’. Of course everyone just assumed that the little girl didn’t know right from wrong at the age so merely gave her a spanking. It didn’t work one bit and only gave Manami the idea that people she was currently around needed to go. At just 2 years of age the Uchiha girl was already coming up with strange thoughts of how to kill those around her.

Turning 5 years old was a big moment for Manami. Without any knowledge of her actual birth date the people of the small village had decided that the date they had found her was to be her birthday. The same day she enjoyed a birthday cake she also enjoyed her first kill. It was easy for her to pick a wanderer who had come into the village for the night. No person knew him so when he disappeared it wasn’t a big deal. Her first kill was rather sneaky, since she wasn’t all that strong. Involving a small knife stollen from the local butcher she slit the mans throat in his sleep; she had the idea of slitting his throat from watching the butcher slit the throat of pigs. By far the most amazing fact was that she had managed to drag the man off into the woods then hide all evidence of him being murdered. Normally when someone kills someone else they get shook up and act weird. For Manami the killing just calmed her down and made her happy. Even she wondered for a brief moment why others didn’t kill people more often or if she herself was different from others. None the less Manami had not a care in the world, other then whom she was going to kill next.

6 - 8 Years of Age: Most people in the world, even the crazy ones, had a rime or reason for why they killed people. Whether it be for religious purpose, survival, or thievery usually there was a logical explanation. Manami had no logical explanation other then ‘it was fun’. The truth behind Manami was that nature had a way of saying you can’t play god. Had Kenai way back when actually ever watched his clone rats closely he would have seen they had a very vicious nature often times killing the other rats in the cage. Obviously as stated before, Kenai was an idiot for cloning the Uchiha, but Manami sure didn’t think so. Although she didn’t know where she cam from it was obvious in her mind that the peasants were not her parents. Her origins might be unknown to herself but still she had no fear of setting into works the plan of slowly killing everyone in the village and pitting them against each other. Most little girls played with dolls and had tea time. Manami played with people and had murder time.

Around the age of 8 is when Manami gained her first and second tomoe of the Sharingan when playing a little game of hide and seek with one of the village boys. The poor boy was hiding not for the game but for his life since the cute girl he was playing with and had grown up with told him to run or die. He thought she was joking until she stabbed him eye with a needle. Half blind the boy was strong enough willed to realize that it was him or her. While hunting the boy with her knife she became so excited that her eyes changed although she only noticed cause of the slight tingling sensation. When the boy jumped out of the bushes with a rock in hand it was the first moment that Manami had that she could have died. Had that boy landed the rock on her head she would have died for sure. After all he was bigger then she was and much stronger. In that moment reality slowed down for her as she instantly saw everything in more detail. Dodging the rock with ease as suddenly her eyes had what felt like perfect vision of what was going on and surroundings. The kill of the boy came quick when she had such an advantage. Staging the killing in such a way to make it look like someone else had killed the boy, Manami screamed loudly only to run back to the village. The villagers were frightened of Manami suddenly as they saw her eyes. The eyes of an Uchiha, the eyes of power. Without question the villagers all agreed to send her away. Much to the sadness of Manami she was not able to finish her little game with the villagers although vowed to come back one day and finish it.

9 - 11 Years of Age (Genin Rank): Being shipped off to the nearest hidden ninja village was the only real option that the peasants had with the girl. They would not be able to raise her properly since she was no ordinary child. Upon arriving at the neatest ninja village, being Sunagakure, Manami found herself in a completely new world. For once she was not the most powerful of people, in fact she was far from it. This didn’t scare the girl but instead brought out a hungry side that suddenly wanted to climb to the top. It wasn’t that she wanted to be the best, she just wanted to be able to survive and not stop her killing. Of course her little killing games were forced to stop since she was placed into a orphanage house that had guards to keep the children safe. In the eyes of Sunagakure they had a treasure that was worth more then anything. With the power of the Sharingan at their disposal the Kage and Jounin around him thought of only the power to be gained. Almost right away Manami was handed a Genin rank head band although it was not for her skill level but simply the idea that she was to be trained one on one. Confused and new to the ninja world the lessons that Manami had to learn were often learned by children much younger, then again she was a special case in life. Being tossed between teachers actually kept her incredibly busy although no one ever really asked her what she wanted. The truth was that Suna didn’t care. To them she was a weapon to be used in a war against Konoha or even other villages.

Surprisingly it was not easy for Manami to handle the change. One of her teachers noted that she was not taking all the pressure and hard training that had suddenly been pushed upon her. Little did the teacher know that it was not anything of the sort but rather that she couldn’t kill to satisfy her desire. Instead of having her normal fun she was now required to work and to learn. In the eyes of Manami though it wasn’t all that bad as suddenly she was being taught ways to better kill. Still though it did bother her that she was being treated like an item since she had been so accustomed to treating others like items. Instead of running away though, she simply pushed herself to get stronger and learn of her true origins. Upon questioning many of her teachers and sneaking into libraries Manami was able to piece together what she was more or less. Realizing that she had a people out there that possible were just like her and had the same desires to kill like her excited the girl. Little did she know that the Uchiha were not all crazy psycho paths, but she had hope they were so she would have a place to fit in. With the desire to go find them or at least learn more of them gnawing constantly at her, Manami began to plan. Her plan was not formulated fast by any means. Every day of training or learning from her teachers was a day of her also learning how to escape Suna to find what she desired.

Turning 11 meant almost nothing to Manami. She did begin to satisfy her hunger for killing by finding the occasional drunk bum to kill and drag off into the night to disappear forever. This never really fully satisfied her though since anyone could kill a drunken bum. Yet it did help her to calm down as the stress from all the forced lessons really began to get to her. Most people would have cracked and committed suicide or ran off yet Manami was not most people by any means. Truly her only reason for sticking around was that she wanted to learn as much as possible from the ninjas of Suna. Finally though she and her primary teacher were given a simple mission that was in some ways a field test for Manami. Thoughts of being able to kill someone higher up in the world rushed into the young Uchiha’s head. It wasn’t until she heard that the mission was taking her to Konoha that the thoughts changed from killing to discovering. As her ‘sensei’ and her left Suna for Konoha the questions began to pop up in her head so fast that she didn’t know what to do with them. Poor Suna still to that point hadn’t realized that their prized weapon that acted all bubbly and cute was actually a crazy lunatic. If only they had known this before teaching her the ways of the ninja Manami might have been in a very different spot if not dead.

Upon arriving in Konoha it was found that the mission involved Suna bringing Manami as a peace offering after some dispute about power. Of course being scared of a war it was decided that the weapon had to go as a peace offering to stop the war. Once again Manami was being tossed around between different people. This time though she wasn’t going to just go with the flow. Before she was even brought to an Uchiha member she ditched her sensei to head off to a library to do some research. Had she have stayed and not ditched she would have been killed since the Uchiha did a great job of keeping records of their members. Manami found this also when at the library she didn’t find herself in any of the records. Realizing at this point that although she might have the Sharingan she was no Uchiha depressed her greatly. Running away was not an issue for her to do, even with half of Konoha looking for her suddenly. Escaping the great leaf village was by far a feat on its own but suddenly she was on her own. Yet Manami was no dummy and had escaped with a book in hand. While at the library she found it easy to sneak into the vault to steal just one book, the book about Uchiha. It explained most of abilities that Uchiha had along with the history of the clan, but primarily it talked of some of the forbidden jutsu that the sharingan held. Into the woods she headed deciding to travel deep into the wilderness where no human would be able to find her. The choice was hard because it would mean leaving her little killing games, yet it was needed so that she could strengthen herself, having seen at Suna and Konoha that she was weak in the larger scheme of things.

12 - 13 Years of Age (Chunin Rank): In her time wandering into the forests that had been forgotten on the maps, Manami began to question what she was doing. Even if she wanted to the capability of returning home was impossible for she was far to lost. Hunger along with fatigue set in after the 3rd day of running into the woods yet luck had that weird way of playing with the craziest of people. Stumbling upon the ruins of an old temple gave Manami for the first time in her life fear. Unlike all other places she had been in her life this very temple that the jungle had taken over by far scared her. She felt powerless yet this fear drove her, unlike most everyone else, to look closer and explore it so that she could find what gave the aura of fear. Exploring the ruins for almost a full day Manami found nothing of much importance until she stumbled upon a rather interesting statue that for some reason made the fear feeling grow even more. The statue was that of a three headed cobra.

The statue had Manami caught in a trance as she didn’t know what to do with herself. Although the statue itself wasn’t scary in the least of bits it gave off the aura of fear and death. This was usually to deter people but in the case of a crazy cloned Uchiha who had a killing fetish, it only brought her closer. After a long time of studying the statue Manami placed her hand on it to try and ‘feel’ how old it was. By touching if she caused the whole thing to shake and then split in half revealing a passage way that led into a mysterious temple. Entering almost immediately without hesitation, Manami found herself in a temple that had a larger statue of the three headed snake along with with a smaller one that looked a lot less like a statue and more like a real three headed cobra. Walking up to the realistic three head cobra she reached out to touch it then froze as all the eyes opened at once. The middle head spoke to her as she backed away in confusion. It told her that she was the first to enter the temple in so many years. Being her luck of course, she had just stumbled upon the Snake Temple where the king of the snakes along with the oldest and wisest of all snakes lived. The three headed cobra called himself Naga but little did that matter to Manami as Naga told her of how if she signed a contract she would be able to summon snakes to do her bidding. There was a price of course. Manda, the king of all snakes, had to agree also that Manami would be allowed to summon snakes. Surprisingly Manda decided to allow the girl rights to summon his kin should it be needed but told the girl that had to make a blood sacrifice of someone she was close to. It seemed impossible because Manami had no one she was close to, though if she wanted to gain the ability to summon snakes it was a much needed thing to do. Leaving the snake temple and following a river she found herself rather quickly by the coast. Searching for someone to get close to was by far something that she did not know how to do. Finding her way to the Hidden Village she found herself welcomed in right away. So begun the hardest thing she was gonna have to do in her life, become friends with someone.

To start with Manami was put on a team right away and given the rank of Chunin since her skills were actually far beyond that of any Genin, thanks to the intense training she had received at Konoha. Playing the innocent lost ninja was easy for her to do and everyone in Otogakure fell for it. The team she was put on was not the best in the world but being the only girl along with with being a pretty one at that gave her the ability to control the team. It was by far the hardest thing in the world for her to actually get close to the people around. Yet one person seemed to not bother her or bring back the urge to kill. The Jounin leader of the team was calm and never seemed to smile. Little did Manami know that he had the nickname of ‘Death Bringer’ simply cause he killed so many people in his day. It was probably that evil side that attracted Manami to him and it wasn’t just one way. Never once before had the Jounin looked at a 13 year old girl that way before, but this girl was different and he knew right away upon meeting her that she was not all innocent. Discovering each other they slowly began to get closer finding out each other darkest secrets. Little did the man know that although Manami was getting close to him her urge to slit his throat or stab him was getting increasingly strong. Finally though she felt attached enough to him to bring him to the Snake Temple for the blood offering that Manda required.

Luring her prey into the jungle was rather easy. Getting her prey to fall into the trap was far more difficult. By far Manami found it harder then she initially thought to get the Jounin to die. He fought back hard bringing Manami to her knees in the fight. During such a battle he saw her eyes and noted that she was by far no more innocent then he. With a final blow to Manami she laid in the temples ruins feeling powerless and on the verge of death. It was then that her Sharingan eyes decided to gain their third tomoe. Although in reality it was to late for her as he had more power then she did by far, but with a last minute effort she stood and fought him. He told her to stop and that he would forgive her. This seemed impossible for her to do since she needed to kill something for the urge of taking someones life was so strong in her that it was impossible for her to accept just giving up. Before she was able to fling herself at him in one last attempt she watched as her opponent fell to ground in pain. Such a silly thing to have happen during a fight but the ‘Death Bringer’ had been bitten by a snake. Seeing the moment and opportunity, Manami killed the man that she had some feelings for. Thoughts raced in her mind of what have I done? Why did I do this? The primary feeling she had was not that of pain though but that of happiness. Relaxing for a moment over her slain ‘friend’ she remembered the feeling of watching the life force vanish from a person. How it excited her to the point where she was able to actually calm down.

Manda kept his promise although did make the hint that he assisted her by having a snake bite the sacrifice. Manami was none the less happy while at the same time she was nervous for her eyes felt different. Little was it known to her that she had awakened Mangekyou Sharingan after she killed her only someone close person. It wouldn’t be until later when she was reading the Uchiha’s Clan book that the knowledge of such ability would become apparent to her. Following what Manda recommended she stayed at the temple to work on her techniques further before going out to the rest of the world. In Naga’s and Manda’s eyes they saw a girl with incredible power that could possibly be the downfall of a great many people. As most would fear her some would worship and should those people worship her they would worship the Snake Temple. With worship came power and with power came the ability to consume the world.

15 - 16 Years of Age: The years spent training in the Snake Temple by far helped her train her abilities to the max. Though you would never become truly powerful if you never actually just went out and fought. With this in mind Manami left the Snake Temple to head out to where she would be able to try her new techniques. First stop though was the little village that she had promised to go and finish off. Heading off to the village was a rather large moment for the now 16 year old Uchiha girl. After spending 2 full years working herself hard to be able to kill she was actually gonna be able to do it again. Her urge to kill was stronger then ever. Like a starving snake she could taste her prey in the air and every day that passed only made her crazier for the kill. At her current strength level many would consider Manami at the same level as a Jounin, but without nearly as much real world experience she was in so many ways almost still a Genin. Nonetheless though she had a game to finish and all the time in the world to finish it. Arriving at the village her little games began right away. Of course she was not dumb and didn’t just arrive and start killing. Instead she killed another village boy as he slept, with this greater power the killing was far less enjoyable so she got sightly more brutal. The parents found a boy that had been literally sliced and diced and then thrown about the room. Soon after she killed another boy only this time she hung him from the ceiling upside down then drained his blood like a pig by slitting the poor boys throat. People of the village were scared. Something had returned that disappeared long ago. In distress the village sent out a messenger to go get help from a local ninja village. Such messenger never made it as Manami had no problem killing him. Feelings of joy and pleasure swept across the young teen as she was finally doing what she loved, killing.

A few days after she killed the messenger was when she arrived. This is when her little game really began. Arriving at the village with her Suna head band on the village people were amazed to see her. Acting all nice she told them that she had been sent by Suna since it was guessed that she was most familiar with the people. Thanking all of them for raising her, Manami found it easy to manipulate them into trusting her completely. Saying that she was looking for the killer in the village kept the villagers happy. It was far to easy for Manami to kill a person and then frame someone else for it. The games really began when the accusing started in the village, she kept herself neutral and always tried to act like the outsider who was trying to help. One person a night would die. Who would die was a mystery to all but one thing was for sure, Manami was getting close to finding the murderer. Or so thats what she told the people as they all accused one another even going so far as to kill one person who appeared to be the prime suspect. Little did Manami know that one villager decided to leave the village in fear after a night and ran into a group of Konoha Ninja on the way back from a mission. The ninja couldn’t help the poor man but told him they would relay what was happening to the Hokage, since it seemed that Suna was failing at their job. Soon after a mission was posted in Konoha to go and investigate the disturbingly brutal murders in such a peaceful village. Manami all the while continued her little games enjoying them far to much.
