Shichi Shizuken

Shichi [Seven] Shizuken is an Anbu-level Special Jonin of Konohagakure (as of the epilogue). Unlike most Jonin, she excels in certain areas of the shinobi arts, but lacks the well roundedness of a normal Jonin. Specifically, Shichi specializes in kenjutsu and her own unorthodox fighting style(s), but she might not be the best choice for every mission. Even though most of her skills are probably that of a Jonin, she hasn't been promoted yet due to her young age and general inexperience with large-scale combative operations. She was created by and belongs to User:EmptyRiceBowl7''

Background
On a moonlit night near the village gate of konohagakure, a cloaked figured approached the guards with a basket in hand. In fullfillment of their duty, the guards stopped and questioned the mysterious individual, asking their name and reason for village entry. In the hushed and shaky voice of a woman the intruder replied, "I was on a mission, and made another mistake." The woman's red eyes glowed in the shadow of her hood; a lock of dark, black hair escaped the confinement of her cloak.

"Is she an Uchiha?" one of the guards wondered before noticing the lack of black tomoe in the stranger's eyes.

"Please take care of her," the woman pleaded, "I can't take care of another one." She placed the basket into one of the guards' hands.

The guard looked down into the basket; a small bundle of cloth wrapped itself around a tiny infant who was fast asleep. Next to the infant there was a note with a single word written on it: "Shichi." The guard looked up at the mysterious woman. "Miss—," he started, but she had vanished.

Confused, the guard looked over at the guard on duty, who simply replied, "The body flicker technique."

The infant in the basket was named Shichi, but for a time held no identifiable surname. She was placed in the children's orphanage and was eventually enrolled in the ninja academy. Her classmates and teachers would soon notice how soft-spoken and quiet she was, and while not necessarily shy, she didn't speak all too much. Shichi excelled in her academics, receiving high marks particularly in mathematics. During ninja training, her classmates and instructors noticed how well she used a bokken and they took interest in her acquired love for kenjutsu. The nickname "Shizuken" started floating around; a mixture between shizuka for "quiet" and ken for "sword." It wasn't long after the creation of her nickname that academy instructors officially used it as her surname.

During her time at the academy, Shichi honed her kenjutsu skills and focused on her strengths instead of her weaknesses. She realized that, while she wasn't all that strong, she was quite fast and could end duels quickly. She also began to notice that, unlike most of her classmates, she couldn't keep up with them in terms of stamina or endurance; whenever she had to run laps in the field or participate in a duel, she knew it was wise to finish quickly before she became too fatigued. Additionally, during basic ninjutsu training, Shichi's instructors noted that she had abnormally low chakra reserves and therefore would be severely limited in the number of jutsu she could perform and the magnitude of her jutsu as well. One instructor even lent her a book to read on chakra control in the hopes that she could make the most of the little chakra she had.

For the remainder of her time at the academy, while other children would play with their friends or family, Shichi would practice her kenjutsu and chakra control skills, becoming able to fine-tune them to a point of such efficiency that her instructors considered her true chakra reserves to be around that of her peers, so long as they used smaller jutsu. Shichi would also dedicate hours a week to simply watch Genin and other ninja train in the Konohagakure training grounds. There, she learned many things through simple observation and her own mimicry of others' skills and styles.

As of Part I of Naruto, Shichi Shizuken is still an academy student of Konohagakure.

Personality
Shichi Shizuken is usually a kindhearted and sweet girl who is soft-spoken, and doesn't talk too much. She's very intelligent and creative with regards to how she must overcome obstacles that stand in her way. She might not be the easiest person to talk to, but she means well and gets along adequately with the people she meets, however, when on missions, she is merciless.

On missions, when it comes to her enemies, there are no second chances, no talking, and no redemption. If she has been assigned a target to assassinate, the target in question will be taken care of. Often, her teammates will be taken aback by Shichi's efficiency and unforgiving ability to end the life of someone in the way of progress.

It's not that Shichi loves killing, or adventure, or even the thrill of a mission. She simply can't afford to take chances. In her eyes, the world of ninja is built on deceit, lies, and manipulation, and if she is distracted or loses focus for even a moment, then her adversaries will seize any opportunity to betray her. She dislikes inefficiency.

Shichi enjoys inventing her own chakra cost-efficient jutsu that work well with her preferred style of combat and assassination. She enjoys reading about sealing techniques, and seeking out help and advice from her peers, mentors, and the Hokage in order to learn and discover new techniques and more efficient ways to do them. She also loves researching and experimenting with many types of paralysis techniques, as they can be used in conjunction with her blade to increase the likelihood of a successful assassination.

Personally, Shichi believes that any obstacle can be overcome if it is met with creativity and fortitude.

Appearance
Shichi Shizuken is a relatively short girl with crimson colored eyes similar to that of an Uchiha's Sharingan or Kurenai Yuhi/Sarutobi. She usually wears her black, navel-length hair in a ponytail and her bangs cover her forehead and frame her face like Hinata Hyuga's hair. Shichi has pale skin and fine features all across her body. Quite simply, she is a beautiful young woman.

Shichi Shizuken's outfit is mostly made from spider silk and consists of a revealing top that comes together near the breast area and exposes a fair amount of her back; her ninja headband is wrapped around her lower ribs through a loop in the back of her top, keeping the top from moving around too much. Under the exposed area of the back of the top, there is a red black widow symbol. She sports a short, but flexible skirt that reveals her legs; a few support bandages can be seen wrapping around the right side of her waist. On her upper left thigh, Shichi has a strap equipped with senbon and on her lower right leg, she wears a utility pouch which also sheathes a small dagger. She often wears revealing, slightly heeled sandals on her feet although it's not too uncommon to see her in simple "flip-flop" sandals. On her right arm, Shichi wears a long fingerless gloves that extends past the elbow.

Shichi Shizuken carries her special chokuto (a single-edged straight sword) usually on her back or waist (although the picture does not show it). The chokuto, however, is no ordinary sword. Shichi used her skills in fuinjutsu to place a chakra absorption seal on the blade, so whenever it cuts, Shichi replenishes her chakra reserves. Additionally, the blade stores chakra and because the chakra itself is still and unmoving, it can be converted into sage chakra and be consumed by Shichi in order for her to enter spider sage mode.

While in sage mode, Shichi undergoes a few transformations. Her hair becomes more course and rough and her ribbon usually comes undone. The whites of her eyes turn black, her red eyes become more constricted, and sharp, crimson colored eyeliner appears around both eyes. He cheeks flush full of color, a sign of the vitality of the nature energy. With regards to her teeth, her upper canines also become pointier and sharper. The effects of the spider senjutsu isn't just physical though, and consequently, Shichi's personality becomes a bit more sadistic and irritable. If wearing her "flip-flop" sandals, she often might lose them when undergoing transformation as they are not securely fastened to her feet or ankles.

Shichi's apparel is black with crimson trim.

Sage Art
The story of how Shichi Shizuken acquired Spider Senjutsu:

After the pain arc of Naruto Shippuden, Shichi heard of how the great hero of the village, Naruto Uzumaki, defeated Pain with the help of his Toad Summons. Interested in the summoning jutsu, Shichi ask several of the village's Jonin how exactly to go about gaining a summon. She learned that if she were to perform the summoning jutsu without signing a contract beforehand, she will be summoned to the creature she has the strongest affinity for.

Due to Shichi's unnatural aptitude for chakra control, she was still able to perform the summoning seal, that which transported her to a dark forest consisting of half-dead trees with gray leaves. There, she would eventually meet a beautiful young woman named Jorōgumo, who would provide Shichi with food, drink, and shelter for the night. However, after sipping some of the tea Jorōgumo had made for her, Shichi began to feel dizzy and tired. In a gentle, soothing voice, Jorōgumo helped Shichi into a change of clothes before helping her into bed. It wasn't long until Shichi was fast asleep.

Shichi awoke to the rather uncomfortable feeling on being dragged across the floor; she couldn't see and could barely breathe. Quickly, she came to her senses; she was completely wrapped in some kind of thread. She tried to struggle, squirming against the thread that bound her. She tried to scream, but her voice was muffled and nearly inaudible from outside of her cocoon. As she tried to free herself, she heard a cackling.

"Now now young miss, settle down. My webs cannot be severed by someone as delicious as youself"

Shichi's cocoon was hoisted up into the air; she hung by a thread from the ceiling, her body twisting and squirming in vain to free herself from the trap.

"Don't worry about trying to escape dearie. My thread is infused with chakra."

Shichi panicked, she didn't want to die. After what Pain did to Konoha, after she had been given a second chance at life, she didn't want to become some creature's food. A sharp pain entered her neck as Jorōgumo's fangs injected a heavy poison into the desperate kunoichi.

"It's a shame that someone as pretty as yourself is only meant to serve as my meal," Jorōgumo sighed. "Tell ya what darling, if your body can accept the poison in my bite, I'll lend you my power. However, if your just as weak as all the other humans I've consumed, them you'll slowly turn into my liquid dinner. Kay'?" Jorōgumo chuckled, "I've never been able to capture a shinobi, so maybe you'll prove different, but I seriously doubt it."

The mummified Shichi felt the poison spreading throughout her body, a sickly, shooting pain that was strongest at her neck where she was bitten. Her head felt dizzy, and she could feel the poison working its way through her blood stream. Her body and legs started to grow numb; she had lost all feeling in her toes. The cocoon began to settle down, the screams from within becoming softer and weaker until the mummy had stopped moving; lifeless. Shichi's heart stopped.

"And here I thought you'd be the one," Jorōgumo sighed. The gigantic spider sat back to let her prey liquidate.

BA DUM! Shichi's heartbeat rocked the whole cocoon. Ba dum, ba thump, da dum! Her heartbeat accelerated, growing faster. Ba dum, ba thump, da dum! The kunoichi's body grew stronger; it began to feel more powerful. Jorōgumo smiled.

Suddenly, the the cocoon exploded in a show of webs and crimson red chakra. With a newfound power Shichi Shizuken emerged completely transformed in appearance. The whites of her eyes were black and her iris' were constricted. A sharp, crimson pigment lined her eyes, and her cheeks blushed with the vitality of nature energy. Her skin, more pale than before, and the canines of her teeth were sharp and dangerous. Her black hair was coarse and unkempt, jagged like that of a crazed and starved individual. A black curse mark in the shape of a small, button-sized spider had appeared where Shichi was bitten. The kunoichi had accepted the power of the Spider Mistress' sage transformation.
