Senko Shirogane

Silver Princess

The Shirogane noble family used to be the right hand of the Damiyo of Lightning. Right now it was a shadow of its former self, their lands stripped bare of value, and what little they owned of value was labeled a strategic reserve by the Damiyo unable to be exploited after decades of losing the political battles against other nobility in Kaminari no Kumi.

By now the meager political power they had and their lands were being used by a criminal family, the Yukiyama. But this bond brought forth a chance to the current head of the Shirogane family. Shirogane Koga decided to find worthy women to have children with. Each with the right qualities to create heirs in every important aspect, insert them where they were needed, and then take over the world through loyal children.

She found Senko's mother, a woman with an odd shinobi Kekkei Genkai. Treating the woman as a nothing but an incubator, the man simply took the child and by the time she could walk she was given one purpose. To become a shinobi. Training that would make some of the most brutal shinobi blush, as mentors and tutors were thrown Senko's way. Erasing anything from her personality that wasn't a devotion to her mission. To grow stronger.

This proved both successful and a failure. Senko was beyond a prodigy, and carried a Kekkei Genkai that easily could carry her into the upper echelons of the shinobi world. She was also a borderline unfeeling creature, cold and spoiled. Even within the Shirogane family she was treated as less than an heir, a Silver Princess in the house of Gold.

Cruelty from her own family taught her to not care about anything but herself. And eventually she knew what she had to do. She needed strength. More than what the puny tutors of her family could bring her. It was time to become an actual shinobi, not a future one.

Golden Child of Kumogakure

Her skill was no joke. By the moment she became a Genin at the tender age of 8, already quite a few eyes were put on her. It was clear the child had the potential to be a great one, but her personality was cold, devoted to her training, and uncaring of anything but her job or her growth. A callous creature.

Due to a recent opening and the trust Kumogakure had on Samui, the young girl was assigned as part of Team Samui working alongside Karui and Omoi. This however proved to be a tense situation with two shinobi twice of Senko's age being treated as obstacles and annoyances to the young girl.

The Fourth War proved to be a bigger rift, as Senko was considered too young and unprepared for such an event and was left behind. Feeling insulted, Senko tried to argue back only to be scolded and put in her place. By the time the war ended, her personality had grown even worse, and the tensions within Team Samui grew too strong.

In hopes to help mend her personality, she was assigned a a new team, with two other Genin from Kumogakure led by Darui. Despite the 3 year gap between Senko and her older peers, the group managed to get one foot solid on the ground as they managed to create a measure of cooperation. But as Senko quickly rose through the ranks, reaching Jonin by her 12 years of age, she was no longer treating anyone around as her peers, simply looking down at her still genin teammates, and even treating Darui as nothing more than a burdensome teacher that refused to properly mentor her.

Reaching the end of his rope and worried about a fight that broke out between Senko and her teammates, Darui reached out towards Killer B for help. By now Senko was meant to be a fully fledged shinobi, despite her personality, so the Jinchuriki took her in as an apprentice, hoping it would be a less intense situation.

Surprisingly, Senko felt a measure of respect for Killer B. Taking the mentor as a proper guiding figure, and Killer managed to find someone that he could strangely get along. Even if Senko was a prodigy, her quickly growth was something the best rapper in the world could easily handle, even if he had to teach her all sorts of advanced techniques. However, half a decade later, Senko started to treat her mentor as a rival rather than someone to follow.

The two had a bout, and Senko was utterly defeated. But this ignited a fire within her, as she promised to become the strongest ninja in all of the world, and come take him on again. The two split on strange terms, by now Senko was too independent for even Killer B to feel it was worth the hassle to shackle her.

The Monarch of Ninjutsu

The Yukiyama family had been one of the biggest players within the underground of of the Land of Lighting since the Warring States period. A family that had become an organization that trafficked in weapons, humans, intelligence, and Kekkei Genkai. In fact, rumor has it that Senko's father found his mysterious wife through this family itself.

And that eventually, as Senko was climbing to the top of the shinobi world, they came to claim what was their stake. And rather than to find someone they could threaten or make submit, Senko refused every step they tried to make her take back. A woman with enough pride and delusions of grandeur that looked down even at a group that was terrifying to handle to anyone reasonable.

She was a woman how had family, who had goals and dreams. And all of those were vulnerable if the Yukiyama wanted to act with ill intent. But instead every time they tried to touch anything that was hers, they found their hands shattered. Again and again, attempts to threaten or undermine her failed. And so came an odd mission for Senko. A bet the criminals set upon on her own pride of her perfect mission record. A mission assigned just for her, to delivery a letter to the old abandoned mansion in the deep mountains, where the Shirogane family used to live.

A hundred and fifty shinobi-class gangsters awaited her. At least three generations of criminals, enforcers, henchmen, and other scum. A show of power that existed solely to inflict one wound into the pride of the most egocentric shinobi to have ever lived. And in the oppressive of a room fulled with enough military might to topple a smaller ninja village.

"I had no idea there were this many rats in Kumogakure. But then again, when they call in their own exterminator..."

Arrogance fueled indignation, indignation fueled anger, anger fueled violence. A fire of battle towards a woman who looked at a room full of threats and saw nothing more jealous and puny crabs trying to drag her down to their level. And as the crabs went to catch her... They found themselves unable to catch the wind under her wings.

By the time anyone noticed where Senko was sent, what was happening, and sent an emergency squad to save her... They instead found a woman who commanded brutal Ninjutsu as if it was a dance where she decided the pace. A ruler of the storms, a conqueror of thunder, and one who stood alone above the heavens.

The Monarch of Ninjutsu.

For a moment the young woman was not that annoying, bothersome, and hard to deal shinobi who made easy enemies while being unstoppable. She was just as much as a threat to the order of the world as a Bijuu. And something had to be done.

Asura of Pride

Her worst attributes were suddenly a solution. Her arrogance and inability to work on a team? Well, she needed one for complicated missions, so for the most part she was assigned jobs she could easily crush. How she made any mentor miserable? She complained about how awesome she was already, so no need for more. Maybe the fact she spent so much time pursuing whatever last interest she developed than any of her tasks? A much better choice over risking her unleashing chaos.

A funny irony. How once you removed every allegedly bad quality in her you were left with a battle-bred creature, you were left with a weapon without a purpose. A Sword of Damocles in human form. A button that felt dangerous to push. As she held no loyalty other than to herself, her pride and arrogance easily outweighing anyone else. But in the same vein those were hard to deal with but an improvement over her primal drive. To prove herself stronger than everyone.

A child soldier that never grew up into an adult. But her talent far exceeded what should be handed to a kid. So now she was treated as such, a free agent who they could stoke her ego through missions only she could do, as she became a well known menace to the world itself. Maybe eventually she would grow up... Maybe.
