Kogaijii Uchiha - otherwise known now as Izanagi Mebu or to the common world of shinobi as Izanagi Uchiha most infamously. A relic to the Uchiha clan having been born in the times before the establishment of great Nations to the union of Ashura's direct offspring and an Uchiha Warlord, preserved through his mother's last ditch effort to rid the world of a threat more critical then Uchiha Madara himself, while still unable to kill her beloved child. As a result of her love she sealed Izanagi away beneath what is now Konoha's Kage Monument, being subsequently awakened by the history and ages of conflict and combat transpiring within the village. Izanagi had set off on a journey to do what Ashura should have done ages ago, and annihilate the Uchiha clan entirely - knowing that with his cursed genes he could do this from the inside. . . as Izanagi Uchiha. Years of careful planning and infiltration refined his skills and mind turning him into the legendary shinobi that he is today - war torn and battle proven Izanagi lost his desire for the demise of the Uchiha, and set his sights on a threat in...foreign lands. Having disappeared from the public eye of shinobi eventually Izanagi returned, and with a bleak, powerful and dark set of jutsu foreign to the world known as Oni Genbu...and power that none had seen before from a single man. Conflicted with his mother's love, fathers hate, and a plethora of skeletons in the closet; the man remains a mystery to the world. Either one of the greatest allies for good, or one of the biggest threats to peace.
Background[]
During the birth of the shinobi, during the times that Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju still fought back and forth, there was a man known as Kougaiji Uchiha...a legendary shinobi known for his ferocity...fabled for his wisdom...and feared for his spite and lack of forgiveness. This Shinobi was the bastard child of a crime against the natural law of things in this time. An affair between a legendary Senju Priestess, a descendant of the Senju Progenitor and a wrathful Uchiha warlord...he was kept away and his life's origins were kept a secret for as long as it could. But like all great things - time erodes all and soon he found out, and his wrath was unprecedented. He'd killed his father and mortally wounded his mother in a scuffle and with this confrontation she sealed away her only beloved child - blinded by his rage, pain and feelings of betrayal in hopes that he would never awaken and let his rage take him along the dark path he was so hopelessly plummeting towards. . . She was mistaken. Years later - after the great nations had been established a great cataclysm broke out. An attack upon Konoha - and during such the mass of powerful chakra that came forth and tore the land asunder shattered the steadily weakening seal where Kogaijii set, eventually freeing him. What he woke to was a world that had completely changed. A world that he did not understand at all and that had only one place for him. On the battlefield. When he was awakened the Kyuubi was laying waste to Konoha, but he was far too weak to do anything but observe...enamored with the Kyuubi's power he bided his time and joined up with the Uchiha clan as it were during this time; lead by a one - ShiChiRou Uchiha at this time. He fashioned himself as a weapon against the enemies of the Uchiha, knowing well that their hate and lust for vengeance and power was a curse...one that would bring him strong fires of conflict - to forge himself anew. Years passed - and Kogaijii had become a new man...still full of lust for power and war. He had experienced many things, having by this point been a kage at a previous moment in time, taken several students under his wing, and fought war after war after war. He was well conditioned and after the debacle with the tailed beasts during his time as Shi'No Ningen he had the power of the nine tail extracted from him and cast off to an unknown location - where it would be free'd and he could be left to his own devices. He had received a new lease on life after accessing the things he had done
Personality[]
Izanagi's age at most times shows in the way that he speaks. Not in a matter so rudimentary as he uses old phrases or anything of the sort but in the fact that even as strong as he is and as much as he knows - he speaks very politically correct. Everything that comes out of his mouth at most times is very careful and thought out to the point that you would think he is manipulating the odds of something but in reality he is honestly just very cautious of people's feelings. Izanagi has reformed - and is much more focus on living in peace and trying to spread a message of peace between those that he comes in contact with, however this in no way means that he has lost his touch when it comes to confrontation. Izanagi believes in a few things in absolutes. Those things are: honesty, honor, and fairness. Saying that he believes in these things in absolutes - means that without a doubt these principles are irrefutable. If you can be honest with someone about how much you appreciate their contributions in your life, you can be just as honest with someone in how much you wish to rend their flesh from their bones. If you have honor in your trust between yourself and a teammate, then you should have just as much honor between yourself and the enemy you kill to respect their contribution to your skill by challenging you. If you believe that someone should be killed without hesitation for crimes they have committed against the world, then you should have the fairness to be understanding if someone wishes the same for you in doing the same crime. Izanagi used to be an irrefutably strong, unquestionably dominating force that commanded fear with every word he spoke. Now? He just wants to sip some tea and have a good chit chat with his fellow shinobi. Very proper, and very curious about anything he has not seen or taken apart before. He won't hesitate to stop mid battle and geek out about how cool an enemy's technique is and ask for some pointers. He in a way is really just a big, lovable nerd now days.
Appearance[]
Tools[]
Sanzou Vajra[]
Izanagi uses the typically religious associated vajra as not only a tool but a weapon. Let it not be mistaken - these vajra are of a great honor and sentiment to him and perhaps are one of the only items that he carries on his person at all times that hold some kind of sentimental value to a strong degree with the man. These vajra were crafted from the bones of sages - whom willing put their bodies forward to be sacrificed to fulfill the desire for the Sakurai Sanzou order to serve who so ever be bestowed the title of Lord governing the united Oni Bloodlines.
Benimaru[]
Known as the legendary sealing blade from the depths of Naraka Benimaru is a legend both in ability and craftsmanship. The blade itself is made of a jade color crystal that has the capability of sealing anything within it, including ninjutsu that it can then launch back through the blade. (If of course the jutsu in question has a valid application through a blade) This blade is blessed by the menstruation blood of willing Sanzou Priestess and etched with several different kanji that maintain its sealing power. It is said that not only does the blade's power increase to scale with the power of the user, but that the blade itself is so powerful that it has taken up a will of its own and will not let those unworthy hold it nor let it be drawn from the scabbard for an unworthy cause.
Flute Of The Demon Carnival[]
Izanagi secretly carries around an artifact of great power and fear from Naraka. This was known as the Flute Of The Demon Carnival. This flute is made of the petrified wood of the yore tree, native to his home of Naraka and has been afflicted with what's known in Naraka as a "curse" a very special kind of forbidden technique. This flute when played alters the sound released from it and paints an image around the surroundings that reflect the mind of the user in question.
Chakra and Attributes[]
Chakra[]
Oni Chakra[]
Otherwise known in Naraka as the impure spirit, comes from deep in Naraka where it is said that a great battle between two entities took place and left behind a gigantic corpse as a monument to the loser. Whether or not this is known to be true is not entirely confirmed. What is confirmed however, is the fact that this chakra is powerful - and greatly volatile. The results of a bio-organic mutation that took place long ago during the origin of Naraka's growth; this chakra is foul, and has violent effects upon anyone that takes it into their body that do not have the same genetic make up as the species known only as Oni, native to Naraka. Those who take in this chakra or are otherwise afflicted by it will find their own chakra starting to dwindle as a result of the Oni chakra eating away your chakra pathway system and soft tissue of the body. Some will find the chakra attempting to infect them. Influence them, as if the chakra itself has a mind of its own and finds a use for the being in question. Experiencing delusions, hearing voices, and exhibiting higher levels of aggression developing into uncontrollable fits the longer the chakra remains as a result of the chakra getting to the head of the victim; irritating, inflaming, and heating the brain and cranium till the brain itself swells and pushes more against the inside of the skull. This chakra co-exists fine with an Oni host, and as well gives them the ability to achieve great feats and perform what is known as Oni Genbu, ninjutsu and techniques exclusive to those known as Oni. This chakra is powerful, potent and entirely malevolent in some cases. It has been known in older and well trained Oni to even exceed that of a Jinchuriki.
Celestial Chakra[]
Celestial chakra originates from the source of the four saint beasts of legend. This includes Shuzaku The Vermillion Bird, Seiryu The Blue Dragon, Genbu The Black Tortoise and Byakko the white tiger. Each of these entities bare a similar hierarchy to that of sage animals and arrange contracts with individuals whom they see as worthy enough to act as their pupil. These four are governed by a leading three that have yet to be openly revealed to the shinobi world. In the old days, these beasts were under contract with some of the strongest clan lords in the shinobi world. This Included ShiChiRou Uchiha, Kintenko Senju, and Mintenko Uchiha. After time their contracts all came into possession of Kintenko Senju and shortly after his death all of which fell under Izanagi Uchiha. Though it was only up till Izanagi's time with them that he decided to explore their potential further. Discovering that they indeed had their own chakra forms and abilities that they could impart. This gave Izanagi the idea during the time of the waring Shinobi Kingdom to create an extremist organization known as The Burning Dawn whose primary objective was to push the shinobi world back to its true roots. Where shinobi did not answer to a Daimyo but to themselves and the natural order of things. With this the saint beasts granted Izanagi a gift - one from each of them, the sacred 3 included. These came in the form of masks. Each of which granted the wearer unique chakra and abilities, typically coloring their chakra the same as their mask. Izanagi - is bonded to one of the previously mentioned governing entities.
Huang-Long[]
The user is granted Jade chakra along with the ability to manipulate yang at their own will. As a result of the bond with the mask the user emits a bright jade aura and when using this ability jutsu and elemental nature release become a jade color (IE: Flames, Wind streaks, Lightning). This manipulation does not require hand seals and can be used to perform an array of feats, such as extremely accelerated healing, rekindling the life of a person near death, extending a person's natural life span and increasing the users taijutsu capability beyond proportions thought possible. It is very important for the user of Huang-Long's might to remain in a complete state of tranquility and be in this state as well upon activation. The power of this chakra can cause turbulence in the body and flow of chakra resulting in potential destabilization of the chakra pathway to the point that harmful flares can strike the heart at any given moment. The application for this ability is only as limited as the person's ideas for it. When Izanagi came to Huang-Long it was in a time of dire need, need for guidance, wisdom, and tranquility in his life. His goals aligned differently at that time then now and as a result of such - not many combat applications were discovered.
Chakra Control[]
Izanagi's chakra control has been a thing of exemplification. His control can not be denied having been so old - and always having his peak exceeded at a certain point. It was a challenge just to master his natural chakra considering who his parents were. Then on top of that he became an Oni and there came even more to control and master, along with this came The Takamagahara - that he yet is learning and figuring in fullness what his capability is but the small percentile he uses at the moment he has complete mastery over and that which he does not - he is not arrogant enough to try and tempt out for experimentation. Izanagi has much experience keeping his chakra in control and applying the very concept of chakra control in ways that he can even use against his opponents as shown by his fuinjutsu. Pushed even further by his time as the nine tails Jinchuriki it is needless to say Izanagi has learned much from his time as a shinobi.
Life Force[]
One of the most underrated things in the shinobi world is the very concept that the life of shinobi is based upon in the basest form of the vocation. Stealth. Discretion and secrecy. This is a concept that Izanagi if anything has mastered over all. The reason that this subject starts with the matter of stealth is that a common misconception about Izanagi is that his power comes from nepotism. Being in the right place at the right time to get the right training from the right person. That the path to power that he had come through was one that had been patched before him by those that afforded him the privilege. This could not be further from the truth. The circumstance of Izanagi's birth was something that started him off into a life of controversy and adversity from the very beginning
Willpower[]
Among many other misconceptions about Izanagi one of them is the idea that Izanagi is evil and up to some horrific scheme to destroy everyone around him or enslave the shinobi world under a sole Sovereign to dictate the lives and stability of one and all. This is not true. Or at least it is not right now but it would be inaccurate to say that any of this was not the plan at some point or another. Truthfully There is far more behind it then anyone besides the likes of Sam'e Narukagami and Ikki Mebu know. From the day that Izanagi was born it was with a target on his back - domed to suffer, guaranteed a life of conflict and struggling. And he never knew why. He had fought for so long - simply for survival. Simply for power because he'd learned the hard way - yes, he knew that the shinobi world was one full of deaf ears and blind eyes. No one would stop and try to push a different agenda then what their forefathers before them had pushed before. He bored the eyes of the Uchiha clan, certainly he carried the same blood lust and hate that they did. He had to die. Chakra pure of a senju and body as well? He could not be allowed to live - at least without being on the bureaucratic leash of a nation or another organization. Oni? Vile fiend - murderer, cannibalistic monstrosity. Certainly his ilk were a sickness greedy to riddle the world with infection...they'd need to burn him out. No matter what way you looked at it Izanagi was always public enemy number one. He was taken into the arms of the Uchiha clan and with it his brethren in high council of the clan Kamui, Kami, and finally Kirai. Including himself were seen as the future of the clan.
Intent[]
Izanagi, as anyone that has lived as long as he has should - has come into very many different positions in his life as a shinobi. The one thing that those positions have in common with each other despite how irrefutably different many of them are in comparison to the next is that they always require influence of some regard. Even the lowliest of genin has influence with someone, their squad? Their peers? Those of their rank faced against them in exams or those who wish to be where they stand watching from academy windows. Izanagi fights every day with the struggle of his hateful nature. His extreme killing intent - many days he sits and ponders how much easier it would be and more beneficial it would be to the world to simply start new...crusade against all that wish to oppose him and simply kill any and all that stand in his way...and not just in combat - oh no...talking simple. Pure. Murder.
Abilities[]
Sensory[]
Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Obito, Uchiha Izuna, Uchiha Shisui, Itachi, Sasuke - they all have one thing in common that Izanagi does not. An average life span. Respectfully during their own times each lived to a degree of what would be considered a normal life expectancy at that time. Izanagi however has exceeded this by far. Cursed to live a dreadfully long life, watching those that he has loved and cared for dearly pass away as he simply remains the same has taken a toll on him. It's always been known that the mangekyou develops in Uchiha that experience the traumatic loss of one that they love or care dearly for...sometimes even a concept or principle of life that they watch crumble before them. What would happen, if someone were to experience this trauma in varying levels for years untold? Well it is not certain whether or not it's been from all the trauma over the years, always having his sharingan activated for so long in his life - or some kind of messed up blood ritual in Naraka, but Izanagi's eyes have developed to the point that even when his sharingan is not activated at the time his eyes still retain some of the abilities that his sharingan has. Of course none of these would align with any of the sharingan's offensive capabilities nor any of its specific genjutsu techniques however the ability to trace movements and see objects slower in real time and detect chakra signatures and levels still remains intact even when his eyes are in their normal state.
Hyper Sense: Is basically a technique that uses and opponents sensory technique against them. Mass majority of wide mass sensory techniques are based off echo location. In the sense that they push their chakra outwards in order to sense any being with chakra within the range that they can afford by pushing their chakra to that range. Most sensory techniques being as an echo location depend on A: Sending out a chakra "ping" and B: Receiving a corresponding chakra "ping" to determine the target's distance from their position. With this comes some opportunity. To use a metaphor for this: Any time you have to open a door to see a person. Once the door is opened they too can see you." so once they use their sensory technique if you focus yourself with this technique you can sense and track them. Even if this character proclaims that *their chakra can not be sensed it doesn't matter. They used a mass sensory technique which gives you an opportunity to see and track their chakra. Once you have the visual of it or you have taken hold of it, you know their chakra. Hidden or not you will find them due to the Oni's primal nature. Oni are typical in connection with their surroundings and like many animals have an almost instinct to when something has shifted unnaturally. Even if the user typically can not be sensed - this will not change at least not physically as far as sensing their chakra levels or seeing any distinguished chakra signature through doujutsu. However once that chakra is out for the sensory technique there is an alteration to the natural surroundings that is evident to those who are in tune with their surroundings. This technique amplifies that.
Intelligence[]
"Kami'No Shi was a fool. Wild proclamations of his greatness. Foresight and ability to force change. A murderer. Ambitious, condescending and vastly ruthless murderer. That's what he was. Were he truly as intelligent as he boasted. He'd have killed me that day in Kusagakure. Now look where we are." Izanagi, in reference to Kami'No Shi
Izanagi has lived - a vastly long time. Arguably one of the longest life lines that has been seen in the shinobi world. You don't live so long with people after your head and survive without learning and adapting along the way. Izanagi's life has been nothing but learning and adapting. At a certain point in his life he realized that he had always sought power in brute strength and killing efficiency above all else. Though after his unsealing Izanagi had decided that if he wanted to truly become powerful, that he would need to strive for power in other facets of shinobi principle. From that point on Izanagi fashioned himself a scientist. It took a devastating defeat at the hands of Kami'No Shi for Izanagi to understand that he knew a lot about fighting. About killing. Stealth and generally being an overwhelming assassin...
Speed and Strength[]
Izanagi's speed is far beyond what most shinobi can perceive when it comes to terms of combat. Where as he may not be the fastest in the land when it comes to terms of physical speed in a straight way foot race - his speed, quite formidable but there are those out there faster; his speed in an isolated incident as far as terms of combat is indisputable. This comes from the way that Izanagi was trained and trains his body as well as the governing principles of combat that he focuses on. These are three foundation points to combat that he reinforces in his training: Pursuit, Pressuring, and Execution.
These three principles are embodied by Izanagi's fighting style, it shows in his taijutsu, ninjutsu, especially in his kenjutsu and overall principle of combat. His body is trained to live to these principles and not in a way as rudimentary as simple muscle training, tissue and ligament stretching and otherwise. Izanagi has undergone some of the most rigorous training in Naraka to push himself to the physical peak that an Oni can reach and delved into sciences and botany to learn ways and craft serums and otherwise to push him even beyond that.
Its debatable whether or not the rumors about the Oni are actually true. Most seem to be under the belief that the Oni are not human at all nor anything even slightly resemblant of that. Most believe that Oni are nothing but some form of creature - a monster that decides to wear the skin of a human being in order to blend in with everyone else. One thing that is known for certain? they certainly do carry the physical strength for that claim to be quite a reasonable one. Izanagi had already been extremely strong in the first place when he was nothing more than an Uchiha clan assassin. Considering his roots and his biological ties to Asura it was never in dispute that his physical strength was considerable. This proven time and time again battle after battle especially in his clashes with Ikkaku Kingu, sparring sessions with Sam'e Narukagami and exemplary displays of such strength in the various wars that he has fought; not to mention his previous title held before he discarded the title of Unmei Sennin and cast aside his sagehood it was already well established that he had an extremely well proven foundation to start with. Though the moment that he became an Oni - that was boosted even further and there after when he aligned himself with the Takamagahara their ability to bolster his command of yin yang in conjunction with one another. Izanagi pushes and tests the limitations of his body on the daily, especially with his new found abilities.
Durability and Stamina[]
Needless to say that Izanagi’s physical durability is something to be marveled at. His oni physiology not only makes for devastating strength and speed but he is exceedingly durable not only physical damage but elemental and different chakra based attacks as well. He may have renounced his sagehood but the training still remains with him and as such Izanagi may not hold a title but is a sage like being in himself. He uses this to regulate and stabilize certain aspects of his physiology and chakra pathway system and even uses his yin/yang to bolster and enrich his physical resistances as well as mental and spiritual resistances and purity. Izanagi has prepared his body not only for long bouts of physical stress but mental strains via attempted incursions of genjutsu, illusions or the like. His organization - KAISEI is composed of many psychological analyzers and therapists to keep track of not only the stress levels and psychological condition of its agents, but of Izanagi as well. Even as old and wise as he is Izanagi knows that even he is not immune to the effects of PTSD and other infirmity of this manner. This combined with his harsh, almost suicidal training routine, as well as the Jigoku Mites body and density altering capability, it's an understatement to say that Izanagi’s durability is nothing to scoff at.
Izanagi’s stamina has as well been affected by his rigorous training routine. Unlike the rest of his body this is an aspect of his physiology that has not been augmented by the Jigoku Mites at all. This is the product of not only Oni biology but pure effort and strict training. Izanagi mixes different aspects of this to condition himself properly, varying from raw weight exercises, cardio routines in harsh environments to meditation, breathing exercises, and Shēntǐ jìnghuà (Lit: Body purification) in which Izanagi meditates in Naraka heavens gate fountainhead - bathing himself in the ever living waters of the fountain while purging impurities from his body. During this time he also changes his diet, sometimes either fasting or only consuming natural substances like vegetables, fruit and only living off water. His stamina not only comes from immense physical conditioning but from battle meditation, being able to calm himself, control his heart rate and put himself in a state of control and calmness to focus on recuperating in the midst of combat.
Recovery[]
Jutsu[]
Taijutsu[]
Not only had Izanagi trained with and fought some of the most talented taijutsu practitioners in his time known as Kougaiji Uchiha and thereafter, but he himself studied the art of taijutsu for years and years not just as a physical training routine but as a philosophical subject point as well. His training, along with his participation in things such as The Kiln and The Festival Of Revelry in Naraka has afforded him a great mastery with this art.
Ninjutsu[]
For years people had always asked Izanagi’s classification under the shinobi bracket, and for years he has always answered this question as: Scientist. Orochimaru would be proud, bolstering the same thirst for knowledge of all ninjutsu in creation - and already having the envied visual prowess and longevity to far over trump that of the serpentis-scientist; Izanagi had dedicated the main brunt of his life to deciphering the secrets of ninjutsu and mastering as many techniques as he could. Over his long life the man has copy-wheeled numerous jutsu, studied twice as many and mastered almost everything cross-examined in its entirety in that bracket. This gave him the ability to not only deviate the properties of those jutsu but extrapolate the science and parameters that these jutsu follow to better understand how to counter, enhance, create, and simplify jutsu as a whole. His mastery of ninjutsu is one to be wary of - and his wisdom and experience not only in using ninjutsu but experiencing plethora of ninjutsu from the “business end” is no small feat in itself.
Genjutsu[]
”I lived in that illusion. That desolate prison. I called it my home along with him - the snake king: Yatagarasu. Yes...there’s something about Yomi. Something about never knowing what is real and what is illusion that...makes you give up. Makes you see truths you always knew...but your spirit would never accept.” Izanagi referring to his time training with Yata in Yomi.
Izanagi was a man that needless to say was gifted with a very particular visual prowess. Izanagi grew up with a particular hatred...a hatred for everyone. It twisted the young Kogaijii in a very particular manner that caused him to develop himself as an assassin. And as an assassin he valued a very particular tool to carry out his missions. Genjutsu. He trained himself in genjutsu and made it his primary tool of assassination. He constantly studied genjutsu and how to develop it in different ways, most the time using himself as a test subject via the use of the sacred Murikumu plant in Naraka. During his travels and time fighting the followers of “The Mask Salesman” in Naraka he met another shinobi by the name of Yatagarasu Orochi whom he found a kinship with in his efforts. This shinobi had created a pocket dimension in which he can train that he himself controls the eb and flow of what was real and was not, able to fabricate things from thin air with the use of his own yin. It was here that Izanagi spent a year training just to master the limits of his yin/yang and mastery of genjutsu, developing several different sharingan techniques and other genjutsu that he now uses for Interrogation, indoctrination, infiltration and otherwise. Izanagi has genjutsu that can do things beyond the imagination - even being rumored to be capable of putting someone's mind in a genjutsu that is completely unbreakable by conventional means. Subjecting them to an eternity in an illusion.
Fūinjutsu[]
The level of Izanagi’s mastery with fuinjutsu not only comes from working so long in Konoha in tandem with the barrier team, but also from his necessity for fuinjutsu when it comes to containing his experiments and when testing jutsu both average and forbidden. Izanagi spent a lot of time as well with Kiyoshi Uzumaki, one of his greatest students as well as a master of fuinjutsu. It was during his time working with him that he learned more things about the ins and outs of fuinjutsu and would even call himself mutually a student to him - having learned things and ways to transform fuinjutsu that he would never have on his own. Though admittedly - he only ever learned enough to suit the exact means he had and understand his blade - Benimaru’s own personal sealing capability. Never diving deeper than that.
Iryō Ninjutsu[]
Izanagi has become absurdly adapt in the art of medical ninjutsu thanks to the Jigoku mites integration. Before - medical ninjutsu and the science of the medical practice altogether was only a tool for assassination. Izanagi had taken to mastering medical ninjutsu techniques for sake of understanding and being able to dismantle the human anatomy at his behest. Plants and their medicinal uses also took a lethal relation to Izanagi’s life, becoming well adapt at creating and synthesizing poisions and toxins to be used in assassination techniques, on weapons, and generally to poison priority targets during infiltration. This range for Izanagi is even further expanded when considering the glossary of plant life that Naraka has to offer; not to mention the different strains of bacteria and viruses as well. When the Jigoku Mites were introduced to Izanagi’s body he found that he could use them to not only monitor his cellular structure, general biology, dynamic regulation of innate immune response and other features of his biology including the cellular hayflick limit - as it were. These mites target and augment these things and keep track of them at hyper-accelerated levels but as well through them he himself can study and monitor it himself. If he is able to get a significant amount of the mites onto or inside of another living being he can do the same to them - even extracting and replicating the genetic markers that call for the presence of different nature releases in a shinobi’s DNA for a short time.
Jikūkan Ninjutsu[]
Izanagi’s level of space-time ninjutsu had already been at a significant level before the Takamagahara came into his life. Utilizing things like space/time mesh, Tetragrammigration, and several different variations of the Kamui technique he had integrated space/time ninjutsu with many of his techniques and implemented it into even the delivery of techniques during combat. It had even taken a place in his training - sometimes manipulating parts of the environment to create space/time apertures in which he can train without worrying about the restrictions of time and destroying the landscape to test higher level jutsu and inventions. However he could never comprehend exactly what the Takamagahara would do to him, much less what they even were. Upon arriving within the Takamagahara and discovering that these were transdimensional entities that during their own time had destroyed their lives, themselves, and their people to become living tenketsu in a singularity of chakra between dimensions. After he integrated himself with these beings not only did he took gain access and connection to this singularity but they gained access to him. At times Izanagi can be known to suddenly disappear or be displaced somewhere in the world - this is at the behest of the Takamagahara, as they can pluck him from the physical plain and place him back at a different point. This can not be done rapidly by any means, and doing it too many times in a certain time frame can destroy Izanagi’s physical composition, but the extent of how he can manipulate this and what he can do with it is astonishing. It is said that Izanagi can even give opponents a brief glimpse into the singularity - and that viewing such a thing with the naked eye can drive a person mad. Izanagi himself is not even sure of what he can fully do with this for he has not even been allowed to access the Takamagahara’s full capability himself and has even been told by the beings that where as he does have great potential for their plans - he is not their favorite champion.
Kekkei Genkai[]
Izanagi was born during a time that knowing your doujutsu meant a lot more than just killing someone so you can have neat eye patterns. Things were sacred, held to high regard and just as much - held at deep misfortune. During his time Izanagi was already an enemy of his own clan, being a child born as an abomination to both clans - senju and Uchiha neither were to happy about him existing...but he loved them both. All he wanted was for the fighting to stop and for the clans to accept him, but there was always fighting to be had...and there was always attempts on his life, whether it be for the sake of keeping their bloodlines pure or pursuing him for what they could gain by killing him. The worse thing is that both his parents were pitted on two completely different sides of the dispute - leaving him to have to “deal” with them both. He was already being pushed when he pursued his father’s death, his visual prowess where as was extremely gifted - was not strong enough to best him. He trained it constantly, building up to one day kill his father; only being spurned more during the time that his father murdered his little brother before his very eyes - but this...did not push his mangekyou to awaken for some reason...perhaps he loved his father too much to really feel the brunt of the loss; perhaps Kogaijii was too conflicted to commit to a feeling. However when the time came that he finally killed his father and held him in his arms as he breathed his last this changed all that drastically. Not only did his mangekyou sharingan awaken but his visual prowess hit an entirely different level...it was like severing his father’s life did the same to his own emotional connection to either of his parents. Once his love of his parents were killed off - so fell his love of either of the clans...or anyone for that matter - and the cold hearted assassin went after his mother next. Years passed after the battle with his mother, she had sealed him away in the area that was just under where the kage monument stood and he had awakened and as he emerged into the new world he found things were...different. The clan accepted him with open arms. Their fighting had not stopped but this was...a start. During his time with the Uchiha clan under the reign of Shi’Chi Rou Uchiha he learned a great many things about leadership, combat, war, and the sharingan - as well as doujutsu in itself.

There has always been a great legend in Naraka about The Takamagahara - a place where all the souls of dead Oni go once their time is up. It is said that this place is so wondrous, so mysterious, and so full of knowledge of the impure world that simply having laid eyes upon someone that has been there or been touched by it could drive a person to madness. This is absolutely wrong - yet in a way not fully far from the truth when it comes to causing wavering of sanity. True as it may be in some cases that people may lose grip on reality looking upon what someone touched by the Takamagahara can be capable of - it is not a place at all...at least not completely. Izanagi had discovered that Totsuka Uchiha - one of his long lost brothers had taken up guardianship of the gate to The Takamagahara. He was one of Izanagi's much younger siblings and was more so a pacifist and as such Izanagi loved his brother dearly. This being said he left the rumors and myths revolving around the Takamagahara alone and searched for a different way to achieve power. Time passed and with it so did Izanagi's patience and he had grown tired of searching. Instead he confronted his brother about giving him the secret to it all but to no avail. This thing was so important that his younger brother was willing to fight him to the death in order to protect its secrets...or rather protect people from them. So be it...Izanagi had done worse before. They fought to the death and in killing his brother he found that the gateway to Takamagahara was transcribed upon his body's interior and exterior and the key lied between transcribing the formula upon his body. So he did such. What he found within this realm after half a year of transcribing what he found shattered his grip of what he thought he knew. At first causing him to wretch forth the contents of his stomach once he arrived. His sharingan almost sent him into a state of shock while there, he was forced to deactivate it and finally upon hearing the voice of The Takamagahara he became deaf. The Takamagahara was not a place...where they reside was indeed a place but the meat of the subject was three entities - each of which represented a concept of existence. Life, Death, and The Truth.

Trivia[]
- Ikki is not Izanagi’s only or first child. He had a son years ago named Chinuki whom he was forced to kill for trying to take advantage of his own mother.
- Izanagi has only lost one fight, this was to Kami No Shi during his waking into the modern world and it taught him not to underestimate the modern shinobi. Since then - he hasn’t.
- This character has existed since late 2009 and has been rp’d in succession in each naruto group since then. This new year will be it’s ten year anniversary as well as the rp’ers.
- Izanagi has a shark phobia and has many times attempted to talk Sam’e into changing his name.
- During 2012 Izanagi had become the 9-tails Jinchuriki and immediately unsealed it from himself for a very particular reason. Since then he has been unable to seal anything else in himself, giving reason to believe that there is specific reason he never seals the bijuu he captures in himself. Some believe that he no longer has a body compatible with bijuu, some believe there is something else - already sealed inside of him. Only Sam’e and Kirinji know for certain.
