Raidengan(Thunder & Lightning Eye) is a Dōjutsu Kekkei Genkai, which appears in the members of the Denkou clan. It is only first unlocked under some stressful, emotional or Training condition after which the Raidengan may be used freely. The Raidengan has four stages the first is considered the awakening stage while the second the Mature stage. As the Raidengan evolves, the user gains heightened abilities. The levels up from the Mature stage is the Arashi Raidengan (Storm's Thunder & Lightning eye), which is gained by means other than training, and the Mashin Raidengan (Devil's Thunder&Lightning eye) which is forbidden among clan members, both of which are Special eyes and not evolutions. The Only level Above the Mashin and Arashi Raidengan is the Joukai Raidengan(Heaven's Thunder&lightning Eye), the Highest level of the Raidengan which is gained by fusing the Mashin and Arashi Raidengan in a user. The eyes drain little if no chakra at all the Mashin and Arashi use more chakra but nothing significant, the Joukai Raidengan uses a significant amount of chakra

Personality: When Shika was much younger, he was known for being a little energetic kid. At every moment of the day he was doing something active, unless he was sleeping. Shika didn't grow up around as many kids as he wanted to so he was most of the time stuck running around by himself, but it didn't matter to him as long as he was having fun at the time. But when his family was killed it seemed that the once energetic kid that was in him had disappeared, he had now been more depressed, didn't talk much, or didn't try being social. It was as if he was in his own little world and didn't care for no one else but he began to change once he started hanging around people his age. Although he didn't change much..he was improving. Shika had been getting involved with stuff at the academy, and also began to talk with other people. It was just a stage that he was going threw at the time because of his family's death, because of that he excluded himself out of everything but was starting to come back to normal. After the academy when he was placed in a Genin group was the same time he began to fully step out of his stage. Shika was more social, and more energetic than ever since he had been holding everything in for that long while. This also helped him when he began using his brain more that he wanted to. Meaning that when ever he was being taught something he would break it down into little steps, then preform what ever he was being taught. And at the age he was at it wasn't normal because no one would even think of a kid that young thinking like that, he also had great strategy when it comes to making up plans. This great mental power was going to carry threw out him for the rest of his life, and it did. Now that he is older and much more developed he has learned how to read actions by watching someones body language. Also since when he was little he didn't like to see his mom get hurt, he grew up with being protective over the woman he cared for. Shika also isn't the person to be disrespectful for no reason, unless its a missing-ninja. Shika has it out for all missing-ninja doesn't matter what village they are from he dislikes them all because he is a loyal person and he gives all his loyalty to his village which makes his dislike missing-ninja. If he happens to cross paths with a missing-ninja, he will do the best he can to prevent a fight but if they say something disrespectful to him he will show no mercy. For people that are just Shinobi making a living in their village show him disrespect which they shouldn't because he's a Sannin, but he will call them out and it will go from there.


Appearance:
When Shika is seen most of the time, he will be wearing what he calls one of a kind. The reason for this is because Shika sticks out from the rest of the people just because of what he wears, Shika is also known for his clothing because once again its sticks out. Shika will wear an under armor shit like, with a small vest over it. This vest has lots of padding, but not anything big enough to make it noticeable by the human eye. On top of that he will wear a long white like shit, with the neck part standing up as if someone's head stretched it out leaving it high in the air. A couple things that Shika gets noted about is that his shit had one long sleeve and one short one. The shorter one allows the under armor to be seen but lightly. As for the longer one it covers up Shika's whole are, unless he pushes his arm out of the sleeve which is unlikely because Shika is one of those many people that tricks up there sleeves. To symbolize that Shika is a member of Kumogakure, he has a Cloud village symbol on his left shoulder which is the same as the long sleeved arm. As for the arm that has the short sleeve is just about the most important arm for Shika. The reason for this is because located on his wrist is a bracelet. Unlike other bracelet's this one is slightly larger, and has three ball like things with the Lighting symbols on them. Each having the same look. Under the bracelet like thing is hand wrap that is wrapped around his whole wrist, and his knuckles. This also prevents his knuckles from becoming damaged if he has to fight someone. The bracelet worn on his right wrist is also know for enhancing the power of his Lighting based jutsu. Lastly for the top part of his body is a small vest that he wears over his large shit. The color of the vest matches his hair, the symbols on his bracelet, the belt around his pants, and his shoes. As for the bottom half of his body Shika wears a normal pare of pants, but is covered by a cloak like thing. The cloak that's wrapped around his wist is tied up by a belt that is gold which is the same color of a lot of things that he wears.

Bio:[i] Academy arc:
Long, Long ago a young boy was born just a little bit outside of Kumogakure. The child wasn't born outside, but instead he was born in a small village that was located a half a mile away from of Kumogakure, with the population of about 10. Kaito the father, and Aoi the mother decided to name there child Shikamatsu. They planned on raising him tell he was old enough to become a ninja, and at that time they were going to move into Kumogakure under the Raikage's consent, then live on from there. But tell then all they could do was raise there child under the small village with 10 people, but there were lots more within the village. Although it was a small village Everyone that lived in the village was related to Shikamatsu in some kind of way. It was like a village full of family, but the reason this happened was because Kaito and Aoi thought that he would learn more if he grew up with only his family. And she was right. When Shikamatsu was at least at the age of 5, he had been working and trying to master his Taijutsu. Just because of his age, he had no chance in mastering his Taijutsu, instead all he could do was improve because within the world there are many Techniques that require skill which Shikamatsu didn't have at the time. But for now he was just fine with learning Taijutsu, and with the help of his family it was going to improve big time before he moved into Kumogakure to attend the academy. Mostly the only reason that he was going to improve was because just about everyone in the village was a Shinobi from the hidden Cloud. They all obtained unique powers, and skills. The clan, or family had a unique Kekke genkai and used it to their advantage. They all abtained the element of Lighting with some having diffrent color of lighting due to their level in with they were suited. It was there Dojutsu that the clan obtained and when one knew how to use it that person could be way powerful. But little did they know something bad was about to happen. One night when everyone was asleep about 20 men rushed into the small village and began to burn it down. Everyone that lived in the village wasn't going to go down with out a fight. The only one that didn't fight was young Shikamatsu but he knew that if someone attacked him then he would have to protect himself. Out of the 20 Shinobi that invaded the village only about 9 of them made it out alive, the rest where dead. The Takeru clan was whipped out though. Although they did put up a good fight they still had their life's taken the only one that made it out was Shikamatsu. And the reason for that was because out of the 9 Shinobi that lived one of them was their leader and he allowed Shikamatsu to live, he had told him that he wanted Shika to carry on the story and tell it another day. He was trying to make him and his followers noticeable to the world. After his words where spoken, he disappeared into the night and was never seen again.

The next day Shika had really realized what had happened and was devastated. Shikamatsu didn't know what to do his whole family had been killed, there was blood ever where, and dead bodies. The sight of his mother and father dead on the ground flashed threw his head for over an hour which caused him to droop to the ground because he was in shock. Slowly his legs became numb, then rushed up his whole body tell it reached the point where he couldn't move, he was just staring at all the dead bodies on the ground. He was hopeless, he couldn't do anything but close his eyes yet, when he did that all he seen was the faces of his mother and father which made his mad yet, sad. Slowly as tears dropped from his face his eyes began to close as he feel into a deep sleep. After a while of just laying there he began to hear voices but didn't really have to will power to open his eyes, but he pushed himself to open his eyes. Once he did he noticed that people where surrounding the bodies, then noticed that a med-ninja running towards him screaming. Although Shikamatsu could make out what he was saying, he knew that he was calling for help. They where here to save the living and take the dead back to the village. With a slight caught Shika was lifted into the air and taken back to the village where he explained everything that happened even though it took him a while to get it all out, he was still in a bit of a shock. The Raikage was a big help to Shika though, he help him get threw it and gave Shika a Place to stay. The kind Raikage also enrolled Shika into the academy so that he would be able to learn what he needed to know, the only thing that was wrong with it was that Shika was a year younger than everyone else. The Raikage put him in there a year early. But The raikage knew what he was doing, he was a smart man. Little did Shika know The Raikage had anbu members watching him train for the past years. So he knew that Shika had talent and would be able to handle being a Shinobi a year early. For what was the first day for Shika was the 5th day for the rest of the class, so Shika didn't have much to catch up on. Even though he needed to catch up the Chuunin sensei allowed him to be in the first part of class which was explaining what they where doing today. After he made it clear to the students they would all go outside and practice what they had just been taught weather its Taijutsu, Genjutsu, Or Ninjutsu. But for Shika it was different. The Chuunin Sensei watched everyone for a while then began teaching Shika what they had learned within the 5 days that they had been there beginning with Clone jutsu, Replacement, body flick, and so on. Seeing that Shika is a fast learner he had everything down in about two long days of none stop training. And on top of it he also had Shika take 30 mins each day and work on what they where doing that do just so that he didn't get further behind while working on the other stuff. When Shika was all caught up he began doing everything that everyone else did. They all when threw an intense learning for about a month, then where officially named Genin of the Hidden cloud. And ssince they where Genin meant that they weren't going to be in the academy anyone, instead they where going to be pared into three along with a Jounin or higher Sensei.

Genin Arc:
Now that Shika was a Genin meant that he was going to have to step up with his skills not because he wanted to look cool, but because he thought that he needed to be at his fullest extent because he was younger and he wanted to show the others that he could be just as strong as them. But Shika had an advantage, he was what some called a genius when it really put some effort into something. Just like the rest of his family, he was a fast learning and understood things better because unlike most people he broke down things himself as they taught it to him. It was one of his many ways of learning faster because he was able to break down things into little steps then preform it starting with step one. The members that Shika was pared up with where both guys and had good skills they named where Yuuta, and Kiyoshi. And there Sensei was a powerful Jounin from the hidden cloud village and his name was Sensei Isamu, he was one of the many Shinobi that survived a war that broke out long ago so he was experienced and was going to teach them everything that they needed to know. But before they even got a chance to tell Sensei Isamu about themselves, he told them to attack full force. This was just a simple test to see how good there ability was and also to see what they need to learn, and what they need to work one. So they did with no problem at all. First Yuuta rushed him and threw a couple punches, but where dodged, then Kiyosh attacked from the back and landed one hit on his shoulder before he was thrown over his back. And lastly Shika attacked from above, he wasn't able to land a hit, instead he was kicked in the stomach and sent flying back, and that was it the fight was all over. Sensei Isamu had seen all that he needed to see and was ready to hear what they all had to say about themselves. Within the couple seconds that they attacked he had been observing from the seconds they approached him, he had all that he needed and was going to work with each one of them within the time that they had. They where all confused on what had just happened, but just continued on as each one spoke for a brief second. This also gave Sensei Isaum some info about how they grew up and just important stuff about them. After they finished he said something about himself, then dismissed them for the day. Tomorrow they where going on the first mission and many more.

The next morning the squad had to meet up at the Raikage office where they would be getting their first mission. They had all got to the Raikage mansion at the same time besides the Sensei. But Since they had been approaching the building at the same time they walked to the Raikage's room together, but Shika didn't say a word the whole time. When they walked into the Raikages office Sensei Isaum was already there and was waiting along side with the Raikage, and there Chuunin teacher from the academy. They weren't in there for long about five minuets and when they left they go on there mission right away, but since it was only a D-ranked one it was going to be easy. Yet, it was all they had to do was pick up trash, and build a fence. Although it seemed so easy it took them a while to do so. But after they where finished it was time to train the three kids when to the training grounds while the Sensei when to report back to the Raikage. After he finished he headed straight to the training grounds because he had something to tell to his students. Once Isaum arrived he had them all pay attention to him, he was going to make them work out while he did something. Isaum wanted them start doing pull-ups on the tree branched, and push ups for a while, but mostly he just wanted them to stretch because they where going to working on fighting. As they began to do what he told them to, he slowly pulled one of them back and talked to each of them individually telling them what they where going to be working on. When it was Shika's turn he told him that he was going to help him become the greatest swordsmen in the Cloud village and the best thing about it was that he was able to pick his own weapon, then Isaum would have it made. Shika had been wanting two twin blades, but he was really thinking about a Scythe but he didn't know so he told Sensei Isaum that he would know his weapon of choice when he thought of it. But for now they where moving on, he pulled three sheets of paper from his back pocket and handed each of them one. After he did he explained what they where going to be doing with the paper. They where going to be focusing they Chakra into the paper to see what element they obtained. Shika's paper crumbled up, Yuuta's split in half, and Kiyoshi's also split in half. Isaum was happy because those where the two elements that he obtained Lighting and wind so he knew that it was going to be easy. Isaum gave them each a Jutsu to work on Shika's being a simple palm, but when the palm connected with the body it send a stream of electricity into there body. It had taken Shika while to get the Jutsu but he did as well as the others. About a year had passed and the Chuunin exams where coming around the corner so Isaum let his students know so that they could prepare for it. They had about one week to be ready and they where. By that time the two older boys were 12 and Shika was 11.


Chuunin Arc:
After that short week had past Shika and the others where ready to begin the exams, but really they weren't because they still have to travel to the hidden leaf village. It took them a good day or two to get there but when they arrived everyone was notified that the exams would be starting in a couple hours. This left everyone that was joining in on the exams to get ready and do what they needed to do. about 30 minuets before the exams everyone started heading towards the stadium where the exams would take place, this year there was only two exams. The written, and the fighting part. Both Shika and his squad where smart so the didn't had a problem with the written test and proceed onto the fighting part of the exams along with some others. The fighting stage took about an Hour, and Shika's match was the very last one. He was fighting someone from the Hidden mist village, but for some reason it was as if he had already know what moves he was going to do. It was unknown why Shika felt that way, but just about with ever move he was able to counter attck. Within the whole fight Shika got hit once, but wasn't anything. Shika won by used Taijutsu it was a spinning back first to the jaw and had knocked the Mist Shinobi before Shika could land another hit on the man and just like that he won. His whole squad was successful with the exams and left to head back to the hidden cloud as soon as they could and when they got back from the Leaf the Raikage was waiting to give them their Chuunin vest. The Raikage himself was impressed that all three of them did good so it was his pleasure to promote them to the rank of Chuunin. After they where dismissed by the Raikage Shika went back to talk to Sensei Isaum because he had made up his mind, he told him that his weapon of choice was going to be a double bladed scythe. Isaum was also impressed on the weapon that he chose but was still going to get it to him next time they trained. But from all of the work that they had just done it wasn't going to be for a while before they trained again they all needed rest. After about a week of relaxing it was time to get back to training because they had an important mission that was coming up and needed to be ready. It was also there first B-Ranked mission. When they all got to the training ground Isaum was holding Shika's scythe in his hand, and gratefully gave it to him. The only thing that he wanted Shika to do was train with it before taking it into battle which meant that he need to begin today if he wanted to bring it on the mission that they were going on. But since they where Chuunin it was time for them to obtain a second element. Sensei Isaum one again gave each of them a sheet of paper and told them to focus there chakra into the paper and they did. Shika's split in half meaning that he had wind element and the others crumbled up. Now they all had the same element which made things much more easy on Sensei Isaum. Isaum, then allowed shika to step aside and work on his scythe movements because he needed to get to know his scythe, he needed to know how fast it was, how heavy it was. Just about everything that he needed to know about the scythe and Isaum would come over to him and teach him a new move now and then that he would practice with his scythe. Isaum, also taught him a new wind Jutsu it was called Atsugai - Pressure Damage. It was a unique Technique and did lost of damage if someone was hit by it, but now it was time for the mission. They whole squad was sent to the land of tea to spy on a village that was planning to attack Kumo. Shika didn't know who these people where but he thought that they where the people who killed his family, but he wasn't sure tell he saw that man again. It was the same man that allowed Shika to live and tell about them. Shika wanted revenge and he was going to get it one way of the other. After a while of observing them Shika got tired of it and wanted to take his revenge right then and there and he did. With a quick body flicker Shika appeared before the man and threw a quick palm to his chest, but right where his heart was. When Shika's palm connected it sent electricity into his body and since it was near his heart it caused it to slowly stop, but by that time Shikas squad was standing beside him, and the rest of the Shinobi where surrounding them. They were angry that Shika killed their leader and wanted his life, so they attack. Shika and the others quickly began fighting back but didn't kill anyone they just knocked them to the ground and got far away as possible. Once they did all three of them began making hand signs, then released a large gust of wind at the village. It destroyed everything in its path including trees, building, and any people. The whole village was no more. Once they returned back to the village they informed the Raikage, he wasn't happy but understood why Shika did what he did. But he made it clear that if it ever happened again that he would be severely punished for his actions. Shika understood as well and promised that it would never happen again. With that said he was dismissed along with everyone else, he then went to the training ground to pratice some with his scythe and try and develop a new jutsu involving his scythe.


Jounin Arc:

After years and years of being a Chuunin Shika finally got promoted to the rank of Jounin which meant that there squad was no more. They where all Jounin now which meant that they where either going to be a Sensei or just a Jounin within the village. Shika was at least 19 by now and had just about mastered his scythe and also created a Jutsu that involved it and also wind elemental Chakra. But it yet had to be mastered which was going to take some time. Time that Shika didn't have at all because little did he know the Village hidden in the Clouds was beeing watched and targeted. It was unknown by who but in time that village was going to be under attack, but Shika had been called to the Raikage's office right away. He didn't waste any time and headed there right away to see what he needed, but it was just a mission that he needed to do. It was A-Rank and he had to escort a important person back to his village safely and the Raikage knew that Shika was the man for the job as skilled as he was. It didn't take him that long to reach his destination, but while heading there he was attacked but the Shinobi was disarmed and killed quickly. Shika wanted to get there and back as quick as he could so that his training could continue. But when he arrived back at the village the first think that he noticed was that there was lots of smoke in the air from burning houses or buildings. Right away Shika knew that the village was under attack and that he needed to get to the Raikage as soon as he could because he knew that the man was old and couldn't take on as many Shinobi as Shika. But by the time Shika arrived the Raikage had already been killed and the intruders were long gone. Shika didn't understand why everyone that he became close to had to die, but he knew that revenge wasn't going to solve anything this time. Shika knew there was nothing that he could do, he felt sad for the death of the Raikage but he knew everything happened for a reason and that he was in a better place now. Once the news about the Raikage got around the village the village council called a meeting to vote on who was going to be the next Raikage. Even though Shika wasn't there he had some eyes and hears in the meeting that told him that Kiero Uchiha was going to be the next Raikage. Shika hadn't ever seen the guy but had head of him. The Shinobi from the hidden leaf that obtained the Mangekyou Sharingan. So everyone knew that he was a strong person and was officially the next Raikage, the council announced who they chose to be the next Raikage, then everyone moved on with there lifes. Shika continued on with his training but took some time out of his day to go have a little chat with the Raikage, just to inform him on who he was and things that he needed to know that he didn't already know. The Raikage at that time knew that Shika was going to be one of his loyal Shinobi within the village because first impressions meant a lot. After he talked with The Raikage he began to take more and more missions because the Raikage was testing him to see how good he worked and he worked good and hard. After about two to three years of being a Jounin and taking missions form the Raikage, he decided that it was time for Shika and him to have a talk about his skills and or rank. The Raikage called a meeting with just Shika, him, and the village council people. They all agreed on the same thing which was that Shika was a good and loyal Shinobi to the cloud village they also acknowledged that when it came to planning he was the best. The reason for that was because just like most Takeru members they all broke things down into little steps so that he understood it better and because so that his brain could develop on it. The Raikage, then got to his point, he wanted Shika to become one of the Sannin from the hidden cloud village. Shika was surprised because he didn't think he was doing that well but he accepted. They explained to him what being a Sannin meant and where giving him more expectations. After the meeting he was proud fully a Sannin of Kumogakure.
