Hiryo Nara | Time Skip

Hiryo is a slim young man of average height with rather messy black hair, which almost reaches down to his shoulders, along with some strands pointing upwards on top of his head and a prominent tuft obscuring most of his forehead. He has red eyes with slit pupils similar to that of a snake's.
Hiryo wears a long, black cape reaching down to his feet, with golden edges, a much lighter collar circling his neck, and a prominent, white ribbon hanging down on his chest. Such cape bears a Nara symbol on it, almost in correspondence to Hiryo's left shoulder. Below it, Hiryo seems to wear a plain greyish blueish tinted white shirt, with prominent brown cuffs and what looks like a large metal band circling each of his biceps. From a light sash circling his waist hangs a distinctive, pale blue cloth waistguard, consisting of four long pieces of cloth reaching down below his knees. Each of these pieces is adorned by a large, dark cross with fan-shaped arms. Below such waistguard, Hiryo wears a pair of armored boots, which, on the front, bear plates bearing the very same motif which appears on the waistguard.

Hiryo has grown into a rather tall teenager standing at about 6'7. His skin has darkened and he has cut his hair to a more shorter, sharp style with a bluer tint. He doesn't wear his old religious looking clan attire anymore and sticks to his darkness attire which is a long, pitch black cloak that conceals his entire body concealing all physical details. Depending on his mood, he likes to change his clothes up and not stick to one attire.

Born into a normal, religious, Nara household, Hiryo grew up learning about the history of the Nara Clan. He had been taught the ropes, rules and expectations for a Nara clan member. Lucky enough, Hiryo was blessed with the intelligence; a Nara clan trait. At a very young age Hiryo started to rapidly excel on all of his theory tasks and was an average student when it came to the physical aspects of tasks. He wasn't last and he wasn't first but he never let that get the best of him. During Spars Hiryo would always come out as the successor but when it came to the physical tests he would usually place around the middle. He was able to manifest his shadows and think of the most successful solutions no matter the situation and that was what made Hiryo pass his academy years. After a few years, Hiryo graduated from the academy and was now a full pledged Kumogakure Genin.

During his genin year, Hiryo didn't get recruited into a ninja squad. He was told he was on the waiting list but truth is, nobody wanted him thus leaving him out and not having any friends throughout the years. He had met a few individuals from Kumogakure but nothing really strong enough to call a bond. He was recruited into a ninja squad later but left because the sensei was slacking off.. he wouldn't really call it official since he never got to meet them once. He had nothing to do since he wasn't on a ninja squad so he continued to complete missions and tasks for the Raikage and village until getting noticed for his efforts and finally graduating to Chunin. Now a Chunin, he was looking for a much brighter year.
