The islands in Ocean Country have been celebrating the arrival of the next Umikage, Saizo. The long bridge leading to SHIPPUUGAKURE NO SATO has been closed for outsiders because they wish to celebrate this moment with Ocean Country natives only.
As usual, the Storm Country has been hosting the Asgard Games to welcome their Kanetsukage, Cornelia. It's a double special occasion because Cornelia is also the first female Kanetsukage. She has been picked for her courage, loyalty and outstanding power by the BOUFUUGAKURE NO SATO elders.
Not only that, but the Cherry Blossom Country has become relieved as well. It seems that everyone is slowly picking up after the war now. KUSAMURAGAKURE NO SATO proudly presented their new Sakurakage, Altair.
TSUKIGAKURE NO SATO is still thriving on the merchants coming in and out. They have not experienced anything special lately. Their wealth has remained the same as they were not forced to invest into shinobi unlike the others.
On the cold isles of the Blizzard Country, HYOUGAGAKURE NO SATO has still refused to create a free traveling policy. Some habits never change. To protect their traditions, they have even warned outsiders to not interfere with their matters.
Now that everyone is picking up again, who will come out on top?

Personality: Lee is a mysterious ninja, since his almost constant smile and slitted eyes always make others think twice. He tends to try and come off as a kind and caring person to most so that they do not precede him as a threat. He finds pleasure in making other's think he is their friend but he keeps people at varying distances. When fighting, he doesn't change this as he enjoys charring on conversations or chatting to himself to keep the enemy off their game or he simply doesn't speak at all to get the same effect. Rarely does he lose his temper and aims to seemingly please all around him but he is always thinking and always plotting, using any and everyone around him to further his own goals.

Bloodline Ability: (屍骨脈; Literally meaning "Blood Circulation") is the kekkei genkai of the Ketsueki clan, which give them the ability to manipulate their own blood (their endorphins and iron). By infusing their blood with chakra, they could manipulate the growth and properties of their blood to their liking. The ability seems to not manifest itself in all clan members.
Location: Hyougagakure
Clan History: The Ketsueki clan (かぐや一族, Ketsueki Ichizoku) is a clan that has been deeply rooted in the Hyouga icelands. The Ketsueki and the Shichiyou are allies in most aspects though the Ketsueki are a more shadowed clan in comparison. The kekkei genkai of the Ketsueki gave them the ability to stay in such frozen temperatures with clothing that would be seen on tropical islands or beaches. This gave them the perfect advantage for passive training for the younger generation which would come naturally to them later in life. The clan aimed to strive and keep itself alive by all means, even if it meant the down playing of their own abilities in order to keep outsiders from fearing the Hyouga for any reason.
History: The mother and the father. This is where our story begins, with the love of two Hyougagakure ninja. The two had known one another since academy days and were more than fond of each other. As they started high school, the two began dating and their feelings for one another grew more and more. After he graduated and was out in the world, he asked her for her hand in marriage. She of course, accepted and shortly after her own graduation, they had their wedding. It was everything she could have asked for and everything he would have wanted. The love of these two could only grow for one another till the time they wished to have a child.
This was no some spur of the moment task and both knew what was at stake. He was a trained shinobi that was renowned within the Ketsueki. While she was known more for her elegant style. Both would be putting their own goals and obligations to the side. It did not take to many tries for her to get pregnant but even as her stomach began to grow, she held onto her beauty and he became that much more protective over his wife now that she held two lives on her shoulder but that did not seem to effect the love they had for one another.
When the time finally came, it was a frantic one. He was in the midst of training and she was singing to her unborn child. They had decided to not be told what the gender of the baby until it was fully born. This weighed more on his mind than her's as he wanted to know what kind of toy's, room and what else he would be giving to the child. He wished for a baby boy, one he could teach and look over and help grow in the Ketsueki ways. She wished for nothing more than a healthy child and she would be happy for that. But when she finally knew that the baby was coming, the amount of panic could never be imagined but it all came from the father. He thought the world was going to end as he raced her to the hospital. Once there, the anticipation only continued further.
After a few hours of labor and what seemed like forever to him, the baby was born. Much to their delight, it was a healthy baby boy. The father stared down at the child. They decided one two names, one for a boy and one for a girl. Since the new addition to their family was male, they named him properly. Lee Ketsueki.
Lee was raised as best his parents could raise him, even if it seemed harsh to him. He was told that great things were expected from him, not in being a ninja but of being a normal boy. He played and even was interested in books and found that his imagination was great when he read. With that, he started to become withdrawn in them more and more.
He was given more and more books and he would finish them in a normal manner but loved to re-read them time and time again. But the thing that seemed to catch him even more over than books was something simply that his mother had given to him one day. It was something called ice-cream. It was cold in the mouth and at first, kinda hurt but after it started to melt it was a heavenly sensation. He loved ice-cream, he would end up having it whilst he trained.
He loved his books but soon he was told that the books had more to them than just words. He was told that he was of the Ketsueki, a special clan that wished to see if he had the bloodline ability. It did not take long for them to begin to train him, his father and mother slowly seemingly change into a more drastic type, pushing him to go further and further more. This was until one day, in the midst of training with his fellow classmates, that he had gotten a long gash along his arm in incident prior but from this wound, the bloodline of the Ketsueki, the Ketsuekijunkan bore fruit from the gash.
From that point onward, the training that had been done to Lee was intense, much was put onto his shoulders, he was told in more detail of his family's heritage and the jutsu it possessed and how to control it to help during the cold of the Hyougagakure. His clan held a practice of pitting many of the Academy graduates against each other in a single massive death match as a way of seeing just whom would be worthy, with the exceptionally skilled students named prime candidates for the possibility of gaining the possession of a rare weapon. Lee fought hard, not yet a full fledged ninja himself, killed students, the practice was discontinued thereafter and he would thereafter be known as the "Demon of the Hidden Glacier".
He had learned that the reward was a sword, a rather large one that went by the name of Ketsuekigasu and was crafted by the Ketsueki in the days of old. It could use the powers of the Ketsueki along with its wielder, taking blood from foes and wielder alike to preform amazing feats. Lee accepted this with great pride and never let it out of his sight since. As the years would go on, Lee would begin to wonder why Hyougagakure didn't simply lead a counter attack against Kazangakure, whom constantly attacked the outer walls. When his notions of war were swept aside, it began to infuriate him. More and more, his requests to send assassin's or a group of clansmen to battle were ignored till he was fed up with waiting, and he left, without a word to a single soul.
In his wandering, many would claim to see a man with a large sword on a battlefield here or there, using blood as a weapon but none ever exchanged words with the man. Soon, the Ouraborus caught wing of this man and, with a little head hunting and luck, tracked the man down and with a few exchanging of words, his initiation had been struck.
RP Sample: The night air stood still amidst the battlefield. The fight had dragged on for several days now, bodies were strew out all over the ground and there were a handful of ninja left.
"Earth Release, Earth and Stone Dragon!" the voice rang out as a ninja clapped his hands on the ground. It began to quickly shift till it created a dragon made from the ground and it burst forward to attack the opponent. Three other ninja mimic the technique and force three more dragon's at the single target. That target was a tall man that donned a single massive sword on his forearm. He swings his sword around behind him and holds a hand in front of him "Blood Release: Blood Pressure." The man spits out a great volume of blood from his mouth, almost like a small river. The blood crashed against the oncoming dragons and engulfed them in crimson, swallowing them up and continuing onward to crush the enemy with the advancing surge. The man then began ride the self created wave, allowing him to move at high speed at his attackers, shifting around the rock dragons, and attack the enemy, now swept off their feet, without fear of their counter-attacks.
The massive amount of blood slowly began to sink down, some of it being soaked into the earth as if it were water whilst another large portion of it drained into the large blade the man held that also soaked the blood coming from an impaled ninja. He ripped the sword from the corpse, not even a single drop of blood was removed from the blade, as if it was stuck to the object of death.
