[/center]I AM HOZUKI HONYA
GUFU NO KUNI, SORAGAKURE NO SATO
Age: 36
Rank: Gufukage | Tornado Shadow
Position: Shinobi | Kage
Voice Actor: Kaida Yuko
Clan/Bloodline:
----Hozuki | Demon LanternSuika no Jutsu | Hydrification Technique
A highly potent Hidenjutsu, the Hōzuki clan's Suika no Jutsu or Hydrification Technique allows every cell in the body to become liquefied at will. From a single hair to skin and muscles, the user can liquefy and solidify any part of their body at any time at the user's whim, making physical attacks completely useless against them. This also has a variety of uses other than simply avoiding hits from enemies, as the user can liquefy themselves in order to pass through solid substances, launch surprise attacks and also re-shape parts of their body, meaning the technique itself boasts a very high strategic value.
However, this comes with a couple of limitations. First off, if the user is contained in such a way that their space is completely air-tight, they slowly transform into a jelly-like substance and are unable to move. As the body turns into water, it is highly susceptible to lightning-based chakra to the point that certain technique that would cause only a light shock to an ordinary shinobi could be potentially paralysing to one of the Hōzuki clan.

Physical Appearance:
Honya's name is highly contradictory to her appearance and lifestyle, meaning Book Store. Although she originally intended to live up to her name, the death of her childhood friend forced her into life as a shinobi. Though subconsciously, Honya makes this very evident in her style of clothing and expression, wearing rather casual clothing, rather than anything symbolic or protective, meaning she once had a life, perfect as the surface of the water. Due to her rather tall height for a female, she finds it very hard not to get noticed, especially by the male population, as her height is not the only part of her body that seems rather large. As for her voice, where it was once happy and carefree, there is now a devoid sadness and pain in every tone, rather deep and serious qualities mixed into the woman's feminine speaking.
Her features very much hold their own charm, as seen by the trail of men following her around everywhere she goes, a trait of hers that she is rather annoyed with. Her eyes, coloured mixed shades of violet like Hozuki of old, getting lighter and glossier as they continue towards the pupil. They are usually fixed in an expression of annoyance or seriousness that transfixes those who gaze into it, yet it seems to add to her beauty in some way. Her hair, silk to the touch and soft to the sight, very long in length and deep purple in colour. During her Genin years, her hair style changed quite a few times, ranging from a shoulder-length bob to long and wavy. However, as she got older, it became a more concentrated style, focusing on something practical, rather than stylish. A long ponytail, gently caressed by the wind into strands of flowing locks that move without reason, similar to water.
Clothing:
Her apparel is... rather revealing, though such provides a practical use for Hozuki clan members. As the air of so thick with water in Soragakure's high altitude, exposure to it keeps the Hozuki hydrated, so to maximize this, Honya bares as much skin as she possibly can to the air, while still retaining her modesty of course. Her white T-shirt is tied in a knot just below her breasts, meaning her mid-rift is visible and the fabric around her chest is tight enough to quickly allow water to seep through. Her lower clothing is also rather odd, a pair of thin jeans with one leg cut and the other full-length. Why this is done, only she could answer that, though it does seem to grab the attention of most people in the room and helps with the hydration gimmick.
On her feet, what seems like leather cowboy boots with tassels around the ankle and a faded front end. The leather itself is thick and heavier than what is really required, though Honya wears them simply for vane reasons. Her equipment is kept in a leather pouch attached to a studded belt around her waist, though the belt is usually kept loose and the pouch itself sits firmly upon Honya's backside. Now you're probably wondering where her shinobi headband is worn, well, it is in fact on her thigh, tied tight to the section without the jeans leg and deep navy blue in colour, the wave symbol of Soragakure adorning it's front.
Of course, you'd expect a Kage to dress in a more formal manner, and when she's at meetings and such, she does. She adorns a wide-sleeved haori over her normal clothing, coloured a light plum violet, matching her eyes with the symbol of Soragakure imprinted on her back. The inner lining is coloured a deep scarlet and is velvet to the touch.
Distinguishing Marks:
Scars and marks usually do not appear on Hozuki, due to their tendency to avoid physical damage, so Honya bears no scars.

Likes:
- - Seeing the younger generations achieve their goals and grow stronger has always been a love for Honya, she endeavours to teach a team of Genin at some point.
- - Paperwork, while it is a hatred for many, it brings Honya back to happier times, where she would study books for hours on end.
- - People who know what they want in life are given a small amount of respect by Honya, as she believes that anything can be achieved with the right mind-set.
- - Honya enjoys a great many styles of music, but her favourite is fast-paced and epic orchestral music, as it usually makes her feel rather happy and content, makes her forget about her worries.
Dislikes:
- - Ignorance, a subject that Honya absolutely detests with all of her heart, as she is a believer of facts, not fiction.
- - Honya hates politics and politicians, as the qualities required are the same qualities that she holds a deep hatred of.
- - Inaction, though this is not to say Honya is impetuous, she does hold an annoyance of people who simply do not want to move on something that would be better done quickly or simply refuse to do anything about a certain aspect.
- - Seeing her friends die has always affected Honya so strongly and although she knows that showing such emotion is a weakness but also an unbecoming attitude of a Kage, she cannot get emotional every time an ally dies, it drains all hope from her allies.
Personality:
A very dark and depressing person to be around, Honya is a very serious and prudent individual, not very evident in her appearance. When she wants something, she will go at huge lengths to achieve it but not if it endangers her village or her subjects. In many ways she considers herself not the Kage, but the guardian of the village, as if she's there only to protect her people. This is not to say that she does not do the administration work that Kage are required to handle, no quite the opposite. Doing so takes her back to her childhood, a dangerous road to walk but a lengthy one at that.
She was not always angry and depressed though. As a child, her dream was to open a book-store and share the knowledge of a million words with the rest of the words. However, pressure from her mother and father forced her into the shinobi academy, where she met the love of her life, Kujin Tetsu. When Kujin died as a Genin, Honya lay there holding her body for a full hour in the pouring rain, not wishing to let go of her love for fear that the rain would take her.
The impression she gives when she speaks is rather subdued yet pent-up hate for those that killed her love in the prime of her youth. And a part of her would want to go after them. But she inherited something from her love when she died, and that was a dream. To become the most powerful shinobi in Soragakure and protect the village from those that assail it's walls. Honya trained her whole life to become as strong as she could possibly be to live out Kujin's dream. The memory of the blade passing through Kujin's chest has never left her to this day.
She has a very deep hate of ignorance, people who feign it or people who refuse to believe facts. If there is a truth in the world, it has to be acknowledged, even if that truth would shatter what had come before.
She also has another dream of her own, besides living out her fallen friend's, she wishes to bring the Hozuki clan back to prominence, so they do not have to run and hide for fear of being hunted, a place that they can call a safe-haven. In memory of her older sister Matsumoto, killed in action. You may think that's a lot of deaths for someone to handle but Honya is a very strong-willed person, she has designed herself to be the figurehead of hope for her village, so that no one ever has to be afraid again.
While she enjoys paperwork, one aspect of being a Kage that she detests is politics. Everything she hates about human behaviour is represented in politicians. Ignorance, hate, bias opinions, dead facts and extremist ideas that just aren't necessary. It has come to a point where she has considered removing the council from power several times, as she believes that they are not required. However, although she is rather smart, military strategy was never her strong point, so if the country was ever plunged into war, she would need the expertise but she does not let them forget that she will not tolerate any sort of under-handed political tricks.
History:
Honya Hozuki. That name... Hozuki. What does it mean? What does it actually stand for?
To be born into such a legendary clan as the Hozuki, Honya felt a certain pride as a small child, a certain pride passed down to her by her father and older sister. Though her mother wished for her more humble goals, wise goals that were easily attainable and less dangerous. Little did she know that her daughter would grow to become the strongest shinobi in Soragakure.
As a child, Honya was fascinated by history and adventure, wishing to learn all of the knowledge of the world and by the time she was seven, old enough to join the shinobi academy, she knew the legends of the Hozuki clan by recital. Of course, now she had a choice to make. Become a shinobi and be strong like her father and sister or follow her mother and continue to study so that later she could open a book store, adhering to her name. Now, you'd think she chose the first of the two, however, she did not. She did not sign up for the academy and instead decided to continue her studies. That was, however, until she met Kujin Tetsu, the love of her life.
Even at the age of nine, Honya knew that she wanted to be with Kujin for the rest of her life, she didn't care how it happened, she simply wanted to stand by him forever. This pushed her to join the shinobi academy, two years late.
Despite being so late, Honya was placed into the same class as Kujin due to the low number of applicants that year. The two quickly became friends and training partners, though Honya wished it to be more. You see, as a kid Honya was never much of a fighter, Kujin easily won every match they were part of, so to prevent her becoming bored, Honya became obsessed with impressing Kujin with her clan's abilities.
At the age of twelve, the two graduated, being separated into Genin teams of their own, but they remained in contact, going out shopping and such whenever the mood took them. But still Honya could not confess to her, for fear of rejection. It became evident that Honya was now holding onto whatever time they had left together, before the Chuunin Exams started.
And when it did... everything changed.
As the exams started, they were placed in the traditional survival mission, where they were required to work as a team to survive, collect the next scroll and head for the centre of the area. Unfortunately a fight broke out between several of the teams, two from Soragakure and one from Kaijingakure, which escalated into violence. Those two Soragakure teams happened to be Honya's and Kujin's.
As the fighting started, the Kaijin shinobi were faster and stronger than they first anticipated, quickly defeating two of Honya's team-mates, forcing a retreat. As they ran through the trees, Kujin started barking orders at the rest of her squad, trying to get them to safety.
Then the orders fell silent...
And Honya screamed...
As Kujin fell from the trees, a small blade protruding from her back, Honya dropped to catch her, stopping her fall, hoping beyond all hope that she could be saved. Tears streamed down her eyes as she dragged Kujin's body out of site and hid next to her. The fighting passed overhead and Honya held Kujin in her arms, not wishing to let go of her friend... her love. Tears fell silently onto her clothing, as she breathed her last words into Honya's ear as the two held each other.
"...Honya... I... love you..."
Honya's eyes widened in shock as she comprehended what had been said. And she could have been with her. And she could never been with her again. She was dead... gone... passed away. A piercing wail echoed through the forest as she held the silent body of Kujin in her arms, hoping that this was a dream, cradling the thought that this may all just be a hoax.
But it was not... she was gone...
It was then that she realised what she must do. She had to keep Kujin's dream alive, to become the strongest of the Soragakure shinobi and protect those who had once protected her in their time of need. Lifting Kujin's headband and placing it around her forehead, she placed the body with her hands over her midsection, crossed so that everyone would remember the strongest will she had ever seen in her life. It was then she said goodbye to Kujin Tetsu, KIA, the love of her life.
Wishing the swiftest vengeance upon those that had done this, she regrouped with her team and hunted the forest for the Kaijingakure team. The new Honya scared her team-mates a fierce one but they complied, as both of them were friends of Kujin also.
They found them, making camp on the southern edge of the forest, holding the scroll they needed to progress. Honya, controlled by grief for her dead love, drew a kunai and charged, catching one of them off guard, tackling them to the ground and plunging the kunai into his chest. Again and again, the kunai struck him, each time releasing a small trickle of blood from the boy's mouth, even as he died.
Overcome with grief and pain, Honya and the pair of Kaijin shinobi left began fighting, Honya using her Suika no Jutsu to her advantage against the two Taijutsu specialists. Knocking the two unconscious, she decided to let them live, not wishing to take more lives than what was necessary. She had avenged Kujin, no need to go exterminating an entire team.
Taking the scroll, the team moved to the centre of the forest before taking part in the preliminary fights. Honya herself was paired with a Hozuki from another village. It was rather evident that this man was not normal, not... right. He spoke of killing and fields of gore and blood, the joy of death and taking down those that you cared about simply to see their faces when they finally fell. All of this made Honya very... angry. Spouting such crap as this forced out a side that Honya had only awakened once before, only several hours earlier.
At the beginning of the fight, it looked as if the Hozuki opponent was the stronger of the two, using a very powerful style of Kenjutsu. Using the Suiton: Bakushuishouha, Honya flooded the arena basin, meaning the two were forced to fight on the raging tides of the water, which unbalanced the Hozuki opponent, making his Kenjutsu less effective.
This was when the battle turned on it's heel. Honya began pushing back the Hozuki opponent, even though he was clearly more experienced and now on his home ground. However, Honya knew something he didn't, she was a Genjutsu expert. Using the Magen: Kokoni Arazu no Jutsu, she made it seem as if his sword was hitting her and she was flinching with each strike, when instead it wasn't even reaching her, causing him to misjudge the distance between the blade and her throat, leaving him wide open for Honya to use the Suiton: Teppodama to render him unconscious and therefore win the fight.
The month wait for the Finals was uneventful, Honya simply getting over the shock of losing her only love and finding out that in the end both of them were too cowardly to tell each other they loved them. And in that thought she resolved to become the most powerful shinobi in existence to protect her village. She had officially given up her dream to become a book store owner in favour of her love's dream to defend her home.
Having trained so hard to get the Finals of the Chuunin Exams, she was anxious as to who she would be paired up with and excited to use her newly developed techniques. And luckily enough for her, she was paired up with a Raiton user. In case you wouldn't tell there, that was sarcasm. It took some ingenuity to defeat her opponent, but she did it, though not without some bruises of course. And right there and then, she was one step closer to her goal. Right then and there, she became a Chuunin.
Her Chuunin years didn't last long. In fact, it was so short that she had only six missions during those whole two years, until she was promoted to Jounin.
Of course, her Jounin years, if you look at the maths, must have lasted at least 17 years for her to be the age she is now plus the one year she has been the Gufukage. And in that time, she has grown so powerful that there was no other logical choice for Gufukage when the time arose, having learned the infamous Joki Boi technique and learned the summoning of the Second Mizukage's clams.
She has been the Gufukage for one year now and all has been well...
Let us see how long it stays that way...

Release(s):
- Suiton
- Fuuton
- Inton
Special Abilities:
Oiruhontai | Oil Body
Very similar to the Second Mizukage's oil-based Hydridication Technique, Honya has the ability to switch between an oil-based or water-based Suika no Jutsu at will, meaning she has a wider range of attacks at her disposal than ordinary Hozuki members. The oil itself can be separated from the water and has a much lower boiling point, meaning it's process for heating up usually causes the water below it to evaporate.
Suiton Senmonka | Water Release Specialist
As we know, most Suiton techniques require an active water source for use and only the Second Hokage has been to circumvent that. However, due to Suika no Jutsu, Honya can use herself as a water source by producing huge amounts of water. She is proficient enough in the practice of Suiton in conjunction with her Suika no Jutsu than she can also combine her Oiruhontai with it too to manipulate the oil into Suiton attacks.
Inton Senmonka | Dark Release Specialist
As by definition, the Inton is thus:
"The Yin Release (陰遁, Inton; Viz "Dark Style" or "Shadow Style") techniques, based on the spiritual energy that governs the imagination, can be used to create form out of nothingness. During the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's attack on Konoha, Minato Namikaze used the Dead Demon Consuming Seal to seal the Yin half of its chakra within the death god. According to the Second Mizukage, genjutsu fittingly falls under the broad category of Yin Release.
- Naruto Wiki
As a wielder of this nature, Honya herself is highly proficient with Genjutsu techniques, her illusions seeming much more real than other castings of the same technique. As such, Honya is skilled enough to 'layer' Genjutsu, by placing one under another or 'stack' Genjutsu by using many at the same time. While you'd think this is a very simple technique in ignorance, in reality it requires extremely precise Genjutsu mastery to attain. How does the Inton add to this? Well, Genjutsu that would normally be considered harmless may now feel real to the target it is casted upon, for example the Mist Servant Technique, which creates illusionary clones which attempt to distract the target. Attacks from these clones are harmless to those they strike, however the Inton, as it is essentially the ability to create form from nothingness, would cause the user to physically feel the strike as if it were actually real, when it is not. Of course, this cannot inflict major wounds on a target, it is merely used to screw up the opponent's whole thinking process, believing that the Genjutsu they are experiencing are actual real events.[/blockquote]
