A Perilous Beginning

Nathan Kamizuru was born in the Stone Village during the rise of Crow Uzumaki's reign. The village had recently suffered a decline under the leadership of Sosuke Kamizuru, but following a coup, a new Kage emerged to take control. Nathan was born into this revitalized village and quickly distinguished himself with his prodigious skills, rising rapidly to become one of Iwagakure's Anbu operatives.

He soon embarked on a mission to the Land of Iron alongside his Kage and several other chunin. By the end of the journey, Nathan and Kajiro Uzumaki were the only Iwagakure chunin to return home, transformed into Jonin Shinobi by their newfound strengths. With his promotion to Jonin, Nathan gained significant influence in the village, eventually leading Iwagakure's Police Force, being a shinobi of notability.

Nathan participated in the conflict with the Kirigakure Village, during which the newly appointed Yujin Miyajima assassinated the current Mizukage.

Battle for Iwagakure

During this time Iwagakure would be forced into a conflict between Sunagakure and Konohagakure, in battle, Ni fought valiantly attempting to protect the place he called home.

Expedition to Avalon

Ni Miyajima, along with 13 others would enter Avalon in search to help out the nation, working alongside the two other great nations, they would venture in. During this time, Nathan Kamizuru, the Fourth Tsuchikage, decided it would be time to pass on the torch of Tsuchikage. After a mere nine months of Ni's journey as a shinobi, he was crowned Tsuchikage; this made him the youngest kage of all time. This fact caused the other nations and people to look down upon him, thinking he was child's play or too weak to bare the hat of Tsuchikage, but under his time leading he prove he was competent enough to bear the title and vowed to always protect stone. In Avalon, he would gamble a small amount of two lumen all the way to one hundred eighty to pay off the debt of his villagers. Many would begin calling him "The Black Hand" for his great gambling skills. Though, Ni, still being inexperienced, would venture into Fihara lands, a place where he had no jurisdiction in being in. His trespassing caused his removal and exiling from Avalon. Even so, Ni would attempt to help his shinobi from the outside, and under his tutelage and leadership he would gain 12 new Jonin out of the expedition. With the lowest amount of deaths among the great villages.

Leadership and Ideology

Ni understood the pain of war and the suffering it causes from a young age. He vowed to never begin fights and to only ever fight to protect the home he loves, Iwagakure. Konohagakure was strong and even if he would be overpowered he would always stand for what he believes is right. Some called him an unmovable object with how difficult it was for him to break his ideologies, he also would fight for his enemies, during the war of the cultist vs leaf Ni Miyajima would jump into action swiftly saving the life of many leaf shinobi. Gaining the respect of the leaf shinobi of that generation.. "Everyone dies, the goal was never to live forever but to create something that will." and even with a weak body he decided to have a strong heart and attempted to pass this on to newer generations.

Legacy

Ni's story is a story of adversity and difficulty, knowing the situation his village was in he decided to always do what was best for peace and to continued to strive for it. He aimed to prevent the war between Iwagakure and Konohagakure, and so Ni Miyajima decided to jump into the void leaving the village to Midas Kamizuru, and Iwagakure its newfound peaceful state. Peace does not mean pacifism and Ni would always fight if it meant to protect his village, Going down as one of the most peaceful Tsuchikages. His spirit still continues to resonate within those who bear the stone crest on their foreheads today.

The Black Hand

Ni had seen and experienced it all, but now he found himself at a standstill—stuck and lacking nearly any motivation to go further. With seemingly no end in sight, he decided to trek to the Land of Tea, driven by nothing more than sheer boredom. Lost and unaware, he wandered through the landscape, meeting new friends and revisiting the land from which he had been exiled. Despite the setbacks, Ni remained undeterred, pushing forward.

Years had passed with little to occupy him or achieve, and during this barren stretch, his friends began to fall away, one by one. In the end, he lost every new companion he had made, leaving him more adrift than ever.

As Ni stood in contemplation of his very existence, a shadowy figure approached. The figure asked him, “Have you lost it all?”. Without a word, Ni walked toward the stranger, a broken man seemingly indifferent to his plight. As he stared into the figure’s eyes, a haze rolled in around them. Ni would be seen walking back home to Iwa, seemingly repeating a phrase. Ni rarely spoke of what transpired next, but what he would share is this: Always Bet on Black.

Their bond grew stronger until tragedy struck Iwagakure: Ni Miyajima was killed defending the village. Midas took this news hard and spiraled downward, consumed by a single goal: revenge. He harbored hatred for Konoha, blaming them for the loss of his best friend, as the same nation that had harmed them was the one for which Ni Miyajima had given his life.

Midas empathized with the weaker nation, recognizing that they were being treated the same way Iwagakure had been.

This attack resulted in the loss of two of Midas Kamizuru's most trusted comrades, Jack Karatachi and Haruka A. After the battle, Midas grew in strength, unlocking an ancient Kamizuru technique through his will to defend Iwagakure.

Retirement in Kirigakure

Midas received news that Ni Miyajima was alive. This revelation, combined with the death of his comrades, prompted Midas Kamizuru to pass the torch to Kori Chinoike, leaving the leadership to him, Hato, and Ringu. He found himself losing the drive he once felt.

Midas then joined Kirigakure, seeking to escape from conflict. However, after leaving Iwagakure, he lost most of his will to fight and was unable to draw out his mighty techniques. He lived out the rest of his days as a Kirigakure shinobi, training the young and playing blackjack with Ni.

A Bloody Death

Midas Kamizuru was called upon for a high-ranking mission to the Land of Iron, a place he was very familiar with from his previous visits. He went in but would never come out. The result of the mission was the massacre of notable Kirigakure shinobi, with the only survivor being Crow Hoshigaki, who wielded the legendary blade known as Shibuki.

In his final moments, Midas’s life flashed before his eyes, and he died with a smile on his face, content with all he had accomplished. Though his time was cut short, Midas Kamizuru's tale highlighted the value of friendship and the importance of fighting for what you believe in.
