The only times he isn't wearing this particular outfit is when he's wearing his Academy uniform or Training uniform, which he only does if required to, and in flashbacks to his childhood days where he wears an orange shirt with several horizontal stripes and dark pants.
Hosoku looks much as he did in When he was younger, but is given additional fur ruffles on his jeans, a sash partially covering his right leg, and a lion's head belt buckle, as well as a new shirt with a plunging v-neck collar. Even though in Hosoku eyes are light blue in the sunlight they look light grey as if he was blind. His 5,9 feet tall and weights 121 lbs.
Personality: Hosoku has many edges to his personality. Mostly the difference can be seen between in battle and outside of battle. Out of battle Hosoku is very peaceful and kind. Not very easy to anger by most things, though there are certain things that can and will set him off extremely fast. He is a very hard worker and has trained collectively over his years as a ninja. Many would call him a loner for the most part, but not unwilling to engage in conversations. He is very kind and understanding, when it does not pertain to missions etc. He can be both very laid back and easy going and deathly serious. He can switch gears at a moment of his own choosing for any situation and can be extremely hard to predict.
Inside battle, Hosoku is almost always fierce, but still stays as laid back and respectful as possible. However, he is not above disgracing someone with a loud mouth or is otherwise just plain disrespectful to those who do not call for it. He is very strategic and most would say that for battle he is a natural born leader, and certainly works best alone. He is not one to back down unless doing staying to fight will certainly bring more harm then good. He has great fore sight and is able to deduce most attacks quickly and effectively with little to no mental effort on his own part. He is said to be a genius of battle and bringing people together for a single cause. IN battle still he is difficult to predict, being able to change the pace in an instant and so effectively entirely changing the way the battle is going and most often tipping the scales in his favor because he is very good at maintaining control over the way things go whether he be on the offensive or the defensive. He is also very skilled with initiating combos and can unleash a combo as long as he has chakra, no matter how long that may take.
Hosoku also is a very straight up person when it comes to saying what's in his mind. He doesn't let anyone let him down so easily. He respect everybody no matter where they from he has no problem with people from other villages. He just hates back stabbers and people that only reach and search for power. His a very nice person with girls no matter the age if she's young he'll show respect as a older brother and if they are around the same age he also shows respect like a brother if she's older he would treat her as a mom and look up to her. He loves art and drawing that's his passion walking in beautiful places make him more softer when talking and repressing himself. As a Adashi clan member he feels like his hole life is an explosion of emotions and feelings.
Story: The history of Hosoku Adashi is one of mixed emotions. His life was full of mostly joy, but also glimmers of indecision and pain. Hosoku was born 22 years ago in a small private room in the Iwakagure hospital. He would become the first and only born child in the family. When Hosoku was born he was the apple of both his parents’ eye, especially his fathers as he had wanted a son for a long time. Being born into the Adashi Clan, a royal and respected clan within Iwagakure he would grow up in a loving family, one which would give him everything he desired and needed to survive in life. He would grow up in a large home in the Adashi Clan complex, with his caring family living a simple but fore-filling life which would allow him to experience everything that one should. But this would be naive of Hosoku to think, to live in such an idealistic world. He would soon realize that the path destiny chose for him would considerably different to what he thought.
Both of Hosoku's parents were ninja and were well respected within Iwagakure. They were patriotic and positive about the country and village they lived in, saying that there was no safer or better place to live in the world. Hosoku's father was a talented shinobi of jounin rank serving as a leading squad commander of high ranking missions. He was a loyal, professional man who above all else believed in the 'Will of Fire' and its impact and power within their society. A man of genuine nature he was said to be in the running for elder and clan leader of the Adashi Clan, following in the foot-steps of his own uncle. Hosoku's mother was said to be strikingly beautiful and a women with a very strong moral conscience. She was a proud kunoichi of chuunin rank who specialised in medical technique's. Hosoku remembered her as being very maternal in nature. She was also a very creative women and looked to paint and dance. It was said that her smile could light up a room, and this was the initial attraction that Hosoku's father had with her. They were childhood friends and begun to date in their early adulthood. They soon got married, and then Hosoku was born. Seemingly a fairytale, how could you not be envious? but there would be no happy ending with this story.
But the world outside of the gates were not what Hosoku was told. Constant war and strife between arguing parties was consistent. The turbulent world outside was a far cry from anything the child within the village could even grasp. The missions their parents went on were life and death, black and white, 50/50, but to them it all seemed like a game, the best job in the world. Well, to Hosoku it seemed that way even when he was young. But sometimes the game gets out of hand and someone always gets hurt. With the rising conflicts involving a terrorist group named Shantakai and other ninja Iwakagure soon found itself in the midst of great conflict. Downtime between missions quickly became shorter and shorter as Hosoku didn't see his parents for nearly weeks at a time. But one day, the saddest of his life he would soon experience the dark cloud in the sky of his life. To this day, he can still see the face of his great uncle. The puffy eyes, the saddened expression the look of utter fear on his face having to try and talk with a seven year old boy. Hosoku would soon be told that his parents would not be coming back, that they were just another casualty of the war, an individual who lost their life for the greater collective.
At that young age it is hard to know how to grasp such information. Senior members and females of his clan held him in their arms with tears streaming from their eyes, comforting him. But he didn't know how to react. His world had just come crashing down. The excited that he had manifested with joining the Academy had gone, things like that seemingly were not important anymore. It was be months of consolidation, flowers, food, tears, sadness. Nobody knew what to do with him, both his parents gone and his only immediate family within the village was his great-uncle, a man of great age who could not look after a young child. It was decided that Hosoku would live with his aunt in Takigakure, in the Waterfall Country. She was his mothers sister who apparently took great resemblance. But Hosoku protested with vigor, he didn't want to leave his home, leave the place where his parents lived, where they would resonate. But, it was a full gone conclusion, the papers had already been signed. A B-Ranked Escort Mission to Taki and he was the client. But his grand-uncle reassured him that visits would be frequent, and showed him a scroll. This scroll outlined the basics of the Kinjutsu of the clan, he wouldn't miss out on the clan experience, to learn the some of the technique's, he was still a Adashi. He would carry on his parents legacy on to the Waterfall Country.
FRESH START, Taki TIES.
So Hosoku was on his way to the Waterfall Country being chaperoned by two genin and his grand-uncle. The only reason this escort was a B-Ranked mission was the fact that the scroll was with them. It would have been at least an A-Ranked mission if the leader of the clan wasn't personally escorting the scroll himself. But, it wasn't the scroll he was escorting, but his beloved brothers grandson. How could he let a young boy go across the world by himself, to live with another family even though they were his own. He couldn't and wouldn't. The mission did not encounter any issues other then that of minor boarder crossing disputes. The long trip had taken its toll on Hosoku and he was incredibly tired. His mind was still weighed down with the thought of his parents and how much he missed him. But he tried to stay strong it didn't want to start new beginnings as the sad boy who lost his parents. He just wanted to fit in with his cousins family and the village itself. Throughout the trip Hosoku's grand-uncle taught him the basics of the Iwagakure Kinjutsu, the clans foundation technique. He would move to his new village with confidence knowing that he wasn't alone, that he hadn't lost his bond with his clan.
The day had arrived where he meet his surrogate family. The Adashi and Kobayashi clan's were distant relatives and this was also partially why Hosoku's grand-uncle also went along. Ties had not been solidified for years and it was well overdue. This exchange could have also been seen as a way to ensure a more concrete relationship between the two, but it was most definitely because of the tragic events of Hosoku's parents. This would be his first introduction to his new family, and what was to come. If his grand-uncle knew what would happen within this home he would have never let him go. It was a tearful goodbye when they left back for Konoha leaving Hosoku in Taki. he began settling into the family life and getting to know his new family. They were all nice, in the beginning, and he especially bonded with his cousin and that of Yuzuki. She was the only daughter and a very talented ninja. At first Hosoku was very intimidated by her but as he got too know her the closer they bonded. She would become on his his best friends, a true shoulder to lean on. He was excited to get his ninja career underway and he was fast tracked through the Taki academy. He was slightly older than the others due to the move so he worked hard to train and become stronger to pass his exams which her compressed due this fact. It was quite handy because within his new family there was a strong work ethic instilled. They would train and train morning and night to hone their skills. But, this would be where Hosoku would begin to resent his auntie husband, a truly vindictive person.
Yuzuki's father was brutal to her. He would undermine her skill and train her to the brink to try and destroy any emotion from her being. This thoroughly upset Hosoku. He valued emotion above all else. It would be emotion that would drive her on the battlefield to help her rise above the pain and push on to defeat her enemy. This ideals of this house were the complete opposite of the house he grew up in. He was encouraged to express his emotion and write, paint or draw about it. Hosoku didn't like her father and he didn't like Hosoku. There was never really too much confrontation in the house between the two because the man ignored him like he wasn't even there. Hosoku was transparent to the man but in a way he preferred that. He would see the mans children getting beaten because they didn't meet his expectations and his wife would just stand there. She was mentally beaten by the man has he manipulated the supposed "love-of-his-life". The fact that her sister died didn't help the cause and her mental health slowly decreased. It was sad really, Hosoku looked forward to getting to know his mothers sister, a blood relative of his beautiful mother, someone who would have been close to her. He wanted to know what she was like as a child, how similar they were, if they had the same smile. The two of them had some close talks but nothing to what he had hoped. He just felt sorry for the woman.
Thus, he was constantly in his room. He would sit there drawing on his sketch pad and writing in his journal. He would often walk around the village with his Taki headband on looking around trying to get his bearings. He found some beautiful places in the village where he could gain inspiration and sketch. Yuzuki and Hosoku would train together most of the time with her other brothers. Hosoku would often refuse to train with her father, even though he was never invited anyway. Although there styles were very different they developed a good combination together. But soon tragedy hit the family which directly involved Yuzuki and hit her hard. On a mission that her brother and her on he died and her father blamed her directly. The brothers death which had caused great heartache within the family meant there was much tension within the house and compound, the prodigal son of the father had died. Hosoku tried to stare clear in this situation giving the immediate family time to morn and air their grievances. He feelings were often ignored and he still felt incredibly lonely. He would often go up the rocky mountain side getting high and sketching the scenery. It allowed him to forget everything at home and just be within himself beyond that of physically realms. He couldn't wait to leave the home and flat by himself. But, excitement was in the air as the chuunin exams were about to begin. All the training and hard work was now being tested. Hosoku was incredibly nervous, but, in the end that nervousness would amount to nothing as he passed and passed well.
After this he was designated into a team with Yuzuki and their friendship would blossom even further. The team consisted of them and another member Kenshin Takahashi. For once Yuzuki entered into her emotional fray and bonded with these two people which made Hosoku very happy. All he wanted to do was to show her that emotion was not a bad thing, that emotion is part of humanity. He just wanted to show her a different side of life one which was not controlled and manipulated by her father. Yuzuki and Kenshin were particularly close with their friendship developing into a cat and mouse sort of relationship. Hosoku soon became the third wheel of sorts which he found awkward at times. But, the dynamic of the team was fun, interesting and skilled. The missions they did were methodical and well executed. Their teamwork was flawless and they could dispatch large groups of enemies with great ease and little determination. But, death once again would ensue and Yuzuki and Masashi would be subject to it. The ninja world would claim yet more and more victims, the violence would never stop. Yuzuki came home to see her little brother beaten on the ground by her father, she snapped and killed him. Kenshin and Hosoku stuck by her and helped her through the hard time. There were whispers and murmurs going around village about her which they harshly shutdown. Hosoku knew what type of man he was.
SHINOBI LIFE.
Years had passed and the experience for which Hosoku gained was great. Everything about him had improved dramatically and he was soon making a name for himself in the village and also the world. His skill was renowned though he liked to keep it low key. His original team had advanced greatly from their younger days. No longer were the set in concrete to participate in mission with each other, but now and then the old team was called apon to do a particular tough challenge. But, during a seemingly easy A-ranked mission, the trio was attacked by a squad of highly trained assassins in the rain. During the ensuing battle, Yuzuki and Hosoku were separated from Kenshin by two of these ninja. Kenshin was attacked by the remaining three while his partners were delayed by their opponents. Hosoku was using his seals and Explosive Clay techniques to protect Yuzuki so she could get close to slash her enemies. He tried desperately to get back to Ken, but when they did he had a katana stabbed through his chest. The ninja world had once again claim another victim. But this time it was a man who did no deserve it unlike Yuzuki's father. Hosoku and Yuzuki were now alone. They would build both friendships and relationships once again from scratch. It was a new beginning, an new era. The world race was beginning and Taki was to play a major role in it. The role that Hosoku will play is still unknown.
