Your Information:

Personality: Shukke is an arrogant, cocky, and aggressive individual. He is relentless, brutal, and cruel. Shukke's merciless nature has led him to spare no opponent during battle unless they're useful as better left alive than dead for the benefit of the Jashin religion. Shukke is completely devoted to his god, Lord Jashin. As a priest, he has the upmost respect and admiration for his fellow cultists and their God, and it is impossible for him to invoke the Wrath of Jashin, the act of punishment in which the Jashin religion or Jashin himself is threatened or is displeased, or betray the religion. During battle, he always prays for victory and a good sacrifice to Lord Jashin and tries to sacrifice them rather than killing them and freeing their souls. He believes that the Jashin organization is just and that its actions are something that Shukke supports. Shukke loathes the human race, but he does not reveal this publicly. Shukke does not put his village ties above his own ties with his religion, but he will coorperate and fight if need to in order to forward his religion. He is rather modest about his status as a Sannin and rarely brags about it, seeing only as a way of being targeted. He loves nature and animals, as they're not nearly as abominable as wretched humans. Shukke never eats any mortal food or sips any mortal drink without having his blood in it first. He believes that mortal products taints his pure, immortal soul if his own blood isn't in it. He usually eats fish and horse meat as they're not impure by mortal presence. A man who believes in enlignment through removal, Shukke is someone who supports and defend his God with soul, heart, and wit.

His deovtion to the Jashin religion has made him loud-mouted, sadistic, and a savage lover of battle. His intent to kill is enormous and he seeks the destruction of mankind. Shukke leaps into battle whenever the chance arrives and frequently participates in war without the fear of death. he enjoys mocking his opponents and tormenting their souls before sacrificing them to Lord Jashin. He is not very analytical and is rather slow to learn, as such his intelligence is questionable. However, he is delligerent and is extremely quick and smart in adjusting. After pulling himself away from battle, Shukke can think properly and effectively like a skilled tactician. His real mental skill lies in trickery, as he uses lies and deception in order to accomplish his organization's goals. He keeps all of his abilities a mystery and seems to be a mysterious figure once seen in his battle outfit, making sure to keep a technique hidden on him in case he requires it. Although he uses strategies during battle, they are usually bleak ones. He is overconfident and is not afraid of shouting his pride and opinions to the rest of the world. Beastly and instinctual as he is, Shukke is not really the animal he is described to be and can be gentle and relaxed whenever he feels lazy and enjoying the skies, clouds, or the beauty of nature. He is a strong protector of nature. He makes sure that the least damage is made to the environment and the reason he sacrificed his Ninjutsu attacks is to strenghten that cause. Shukke has no fear, as his time and training within the Jashin religion, birth as an orphan, life of murder and merciless slaughter, and devotion to a terrible, dark god has eradicated any kind of natural fear that would have come across him as a human. He is not bossy but rather someone who gives suggestions and makes offerings in order to persuade people to the Jashin religion. Below his unquestionable loyalty to Lord Jashin would be his respect for the Grand Priest, the only living Priest who has seen Lord Jashin's face and elader of the cult. Shukke is willing to follow any order and command, unless Lord Jashin instructs him not to. He obeys and enforces the rules of Jashin, which is to never dishonor a fellow cultist, never betray the cult or its secrets, never kill a fellow Jashinist, and never fail in their mission to defend the cult's practices or they will invoke Jashin's Wrath.

Your Nindo/Motives: His ninja way you ask? He plans to gut every single villain in the world and sacrifice them in the name of Lord Jashin. It cant even be called a ninja way - but rather the Priest way. In the Priest way, Shukke must follow Lord Jashin no matter what. In battle he must pray. Before battle he must pray. After battle he must pray.
History:
Childhood/Orphan/Academy Arc:
Born as Shinsei Teronaito, Shukke started his life as an orphan. A During the first two years of his life, he wandered around the land on his own, stealing food and supplies along the way. He lived like a bandit. But on one night, Shukke stole a basket from a cloaked man's hands. The man immediately woke up the moment Shukke touched the basket, and Shukke started to run away but fell. He turned around, and suddenly felt a presence choking him. The man was cloaked, masked, and armoured. Upon that, he had that hint of terror and fear that paralyzed Shukke the moment he saw him. The man made some motion with his hand and his head tilted back a little. The man lent his hand, urging Shukke to come forward. Shukke did, almost against his will. What Shukke did not know was that he was about to crawl into a new, hidden life that he would find to be his own. Five years later, Shukke became a Jashinist-in-training and was named "Shukke", a fitting name that would mean one's loyalty to their God. The man that he followed was Himune, the 17th Priest of the North Jashinic Church. Himune found out that Shukke was an uncolored being, and so he decided to bring the baby into his care and set him on the right path. The Path of Jashin. Shukke was introduced to Jashinism and was marked with several tattoos and rituals that bounded him to the will of Jashin. And in turn, Lord Jashin will reward Shukke. From an early age, Shukike was taught the teachings and ancient pamphlets of Jashin. Reading scrolls and transcripts, Shukke quickly became fascinated by Jashinism and was devoured by it. At age 5, Shukke's mind and soul set into the Path of Jashin. He also learned about the Jashin religion's history and he compared it to the religion of Kami. He learned that Jashinists would annihilate all human-made creations, corrupted beings, and altars that oppose the Jashinic religion. He shall torment their souls and sacrifice their wills to Jashin, who shall give his faithful follower enlignment and power beyond men. As he grew, he became more well-versed in the arts of Jashin. Himune, who is acting as Shukke's guardian, sent him to Kazangakure's Ninja Academy. From there, he shall master all of the Ways of the Warrior. Shukke hated the kids at the Academy. They believed in Kami and were too dim-witted. But even more than that were that they walked the path of a human. Shukke did not want to be involved with human degradation when he wish to side with his God, Lord Jashin. Serious as he is, Shukke did pretty well in the Academy. Although he did not bother with Ninjutsu, he could still manipulate chakra. He had the highest scores in Taijutsu and ninja tools. At age 11, Shukke graduated from the Academy to become a Genin.

Genin/Devotion To One's God Arc:
Upon graduation, it became clear to the 22 Jashinists that Shukke would be someone who would remain absolutely loyal to Lord Jashin. As such, they began to train him in the Jashin Religion's jutsu. They begin, they forge him a scythe. The standard weapon for all Jashinists representing their nature to reap lives for their God, Shukke became very skilled in using his scythe. He took a ritual where he will become an official Devotee and succeeded. In doing so, his heart will be ripped of nature elements, allowing him to fully communicate with Jashin. He was taught to do so, using the Altar of Jashin. It became an exhiliration for him. The moment he heard Lord Jashin's calm and enchanting voice, he knew that the path he followed is the right one. They communicated for five minutes, where Shukke asked general questions in which Lord Jashin answered. He had told that as long as Shukke prays in this altar and remains faithful to him, he will asnwer those prayers. When their time ended, Shukke snickered. Those foolish kids back at the Academy, to have their prayers unanswered while he can do it anytime he wishes. Himune trained Shukke in becoming a true Jashinist. Shukke's chakra became visible to the point that his chakra color can be seen if he wishes to release it, having a black-purple color to it. He was taught how to properly control his chakra, how to use ninja weapons, and the way of the sword. Shukke attained a private cell, something that Himune, acting as Shukke's father, made sure would be granted. Shukke trained under Watari Kuyoshibari, "Exploding Brute." Watari was one of the foremost Taijutsu specialists and was extremely well-regarded in the physical areas of fighting. Shukke came to accept Watari, as he was both smarter and stronger than him. From Watari, he discovered the Hachimon technique. Shukke refined his Taijutsu after training from Watari, learning several powerful Taijutsu attacks. Shukke increased his stamina greatly while training with Watari. While that was happening, Shukke was taught weaponry and sword techniques by Himune. Shukke combined those two skills to create his own battle methods and also learn how to use his chakra to remotely control his scythe. He believed that he is loyal to Jashin, but has yet to serve him. When the Chunin Exams came, it was time for Shukke to show his skill. As the exams were in Shigakure, Shukke couldn't wait for the aprt where he had to face opponents. On the second part, Shukke had to manuever on his own and survive on his own. He was given several charms and his own Jashin necklace that allowed him to communicate with Lord Jashin even without an altar. He set up traps and collected, in preperation for his enemy. And he did encounter an enemy. Three Genin stood before Shukke, asking for his name. Shukke replied, and the three Genin just laughed and launched upon him. Shukke grunted, knowing that these Genin were amateurs. He killed the Genin in a few minutes with his scythe, scarring their bodies and reaping their hearts out. After that, he made a setup with some brances and grass from nature mixed with his own blood and begun the sacrifice ritual. In just ten minutes, Shukke believed that he had sacrificed the corrupted souls of the three Genin he killed to Lord Jashin, which was confirmed when all of Shukke's wounds were healed by dark, electrical sparks. Shukke killed ten more Genin, sneaking up on them then reaping their lives. Alas, he has served his God. Shukke also succeded in defeating his opponent in the third exam. But he lost to his fourth opponent due to their Sharingan. Shukke barely made it to CHunin promotion, at the age of thirteen.

Chunin/Chaos of Murder Arc:
At age 13, a great ninja world war broke out between Shigakure, Kazangakure, and Morigakure. Himune predicted that Shukke would be sent to battle, and so he had to train Shukke. By evolving within the Jashin organization, Shukke had his chakras altered. It now appeared to a dark-black mass of electrical energy, cracking and sparkling the moment they are released. This would make Shukke easily detectable but it helped him to better utilize his chakra flow. Shukke used his chakra to increase the lethality of his scythe attacks. By doing so, he also learned how to increase his Taijutsu attacks using Chakra Enhanced Strength. Shukke was sent to war against Shigakure, but not without preperations. He had Jashinic equipment on them that allowed him to fight on the level of the average Priest. Shukke had tremendous increases in his Taijutsu and Weaponry prowess during the war. It allowed him to excercise his body to its fullest potential and it also helped his development as a ninja. But beyond that, this was the perfect opportunity to gain Jashin-sama's respect. Though grievously wounded, Shukke killed eighty-nine shinobi on the battlefield and sacrificed sixty-one of them to Lord Jashin. He felt boosts in his physical state, in recognition that Jashin now respects Shukke. He felt close to his god. Every day on the battlefield, he would pray for a "good kill" and ask his god to watch him in battle before going in combat. At age 15, Shukke's personality completely changed. No longer was he level-headed, serious, and calm. He was loud-mouthed, obnoxious, short-tempered, and extremely aggressive. This was expected of those who have their minds devoted to Jashin. During war, it triggered Shukke's devotion to his God that his personality changed so he will be able to kill more people. At age 17, Shukke killed a total of 456 people and sacrifice about 341 of them to Lord Jashin, which allowed vast boosts in his endurance as a sign that Jashin recognizes him. Shukke recieved an enormous amount of pain during his battles. So enormous that Shukke learned to tolerate it, no matter how painful it might be. He will continue fighting, even if it means becoming like a savage. But Shukke suddenly collapsed on the battlefield and had to be rushed to the hospital, a year before the war ended. He enjoyed the chaos of murder.

Jounin/The Jashinist Arc:

For services in war, Shukke became a Jounin at the age of nineteen. It was also at this time, Shukke advanced higher in the organization and became a Disciple. This made him a rank below Himune was. Shukke took a ritual in which his body would be completely adapted to the Jashin religion. Anything he gained from kekkei genkai would be removed, and Shukke chose to sacrifice the majority of his Ninjutsu specialty in order to advance his Taijutsu. He had given up the majority of his natural powers in order to recieve three gifts from Jashin. One was Shukke's real name, which was suppose to be Shinsei Teronaito. Second was Shukke's complete eradication of fear. He had immunity to fear and could tolerate any kind of fear without significant hinderance. Third was Shukke's second scythe. He had his old scythe granted an "upgrade" and recieved his second scythe from Himune. Shukke gained his Jashinic battle clothing and at Jounin rank, he not only mastered up to the Sixth Gate, but also could fight at the level of the average Priest without any assistance. Shukke's first act as a Disciple was to track down the Teronaito family and murder them. He believed his parents to be corrupted beings but wish to free them of their degradation by sacrificing their souls to Lord Jashin. Shukke found the Teronaito family and slaughtered them all. But as he did so, he could not find anyone who abandoned a child or had any past griefful emotions on them. After sacrificing them to Lord Jashin, Shukke apologized to his unknown parents, saying "I cannot save you." After returning, Shukke had his chakra altered again, though for a final time. His chakra is now black, negative energy or "unholy chakra." This type of energy is one that corrodes the very essence of chakra through contact. If any chakra attack or any attack that has chakra pierce through Shukke, the chakra will slowly be corroded and removed depending on the size of the object (smaller meaning faster and larger meaning slower). Shukke mastered the Seventh gate and his two scythes to their fullest potential. He finished his training with Himune, who believes that Shukke is a valuable member of the Jashin religion. Shukke became the most greatest weapon-wielder out of all in Kazangakure. A true Jashinist. But at the age of twenty, Shukke was called along with members from the other eleven Jashinic churches around the world to attend an "Enlignment Ceremony." Himune is going to sacrifice himself to Lord Jashin, in order for him to side with his God even more and helping him as well as his fellow Jashinists from above. Himune was an elder Priest, which meant that it was expected of him to be able to fight at the level of the average Kage. But elder Priest is just a title, as there are only a maximum of twelve Priests and twelve Jashinic Churches. Only two of those Priests may become elder Priests but above the elder Priests would be the Grand Priest. The Grand Priest is Jashin's representative on Earth as well as representation of the Wrath of Jashin. He is Jashin's most faithful servant and is also the most knowledgeable and skilled in the Jashinic jutsu. He carries out Jashinic Law with an iron fist and can communicate with Jashin the most well. The Grand Priest was there, but he was masked, cloak, and armoured. But strangely enough, Shukke could feel a dark chakra pressure choking him the same way when he first met Himune. He did not feel fear but curiousity. At the ceremony, Himune removed his mask. This was the third time Shukke saw Himune's true face, but he always saw the hard memories he had been through. Before he went, he had to choose a worthy successor to be the new Priest. Himune thought for a minute, then choose Shukke. Shukke was surprised but not shocked. He had begun to feel that Himune thought of Shukke more as a son rather than an apprentice. Everyone in the Kazan Jashinic Church agreed. Shukke recieved ritual markings from the Priests including Himune as well as members of the Kazan Jashinic Church. He made a pact with all jashinists and his rise to priesthood finished with the Grand Priest making contact with Shukke, and hammered Jashin's presence and will into Shukke through a chant. At that pouint, Shukke's mind and loyalty was absolutely bound to Jashin. This was exciting to him and he is now a completely loyal servant of Jashin. Carrying out his will and recieving the upmost admiration from his God. Shukke has mastered all of the Jashin Religion's weaponry techniques and has mastered Kenjutsu.

Tsuchikage:
In a great prophetic dream that he had from Jashin, Shukke received an epiphany that he should become the Tsuchikage. So Shukke usurped the throne and killed the current Tsuchikage. He has effectively turned the village into a Jashinic culture.
