Judar Namikaze

Judar always hated seeing violence, and more specifically, war, as he had been exposed to stories and tales of many people being hurt and killed due to human nature’s tendency to conquer out of selfishness. He grew to despise this greatly, to the point of becoming squeamish and vomiting at the sight of dead bodies.

He was raised by his grandfather, Haruki Namikaze, whom he looked up to greatly due to the absence of his parents. Haruki was the only person Judar knew who could use both the “Flying Raijin” technique and the Odama Rasengan. Even with his ability to see “colorful lines,” Judar was unable to fully grasp and understand the complexity of these techniques until a later age, which only made him admire his grandfather even more.

Judar and his brothers woke up to perform their daily training. They were aware that Avalon was currently in a negative state due to the destruction and overtaking of the capital by a rumored “Calamity.”

Coincidentally, on the same day, shinobi made their way to Avalon, though on what business was unknown to them. Haruki knew what the shinobi had done for the country and felt it would be best to trust his grandchildren with them while he did what he could to help fix the state of Avalon. Though it hurt Judar to leave his dear grandfather behind, he was extremely mature about it and understood. Judar and Aladdin had since resided in Sunagakure under the supervision of Mad Uchiha, Mikey Hoshigaki, and Aetamos Yome, while Nero resided in Konohagakure to pursue his own dreams of becoming the Hokage.

Judar began making extremely risky but significant moves the moment he set foot on the Mainland. He immediately sought to build relationships with every village leader and leading figure within the Mainland, soon gaining rapport with every village leader at that time, including the Land of Mountains, where he developed a student-teacher relationship with Ikari Uchiha.

This was all for his dream of a world without war. Judar had a single goal with the “special talent” bestowed upon him, and he intended to achieve it by any means necessary. Judar revisited Avalon several times, specifically for a certain person after discovering their cousin Park Namikaze within the Mainland. Judar built a relationship with this person, putting him on the same level as his grandfather, and often confided in him. This man became his one and only father figure.

Before his first trip to meet Ni Miyajima, Judar encountered a very imposing figure. Soon after, he discovered that this was Vi. Though very few words were exchanged, it seemed Vi knew things about Judar that he didn’t know himself. This encounter finally led Judar to give his “special talent” a name:

“The Strings of Fate.”

Shortly after this interaction, Ikari took Judar and his brother to the Land of Mountains to discuss the rediscovery of Vi with Kenzo Kaguya. This allowed Judar to have a training session under Ikari and Kenzo, which he noted as an incredible experience due to the amount of growth he achieved in just a few nights of staying there.

Judar and Aladdin, along with other shinobi, were sent on a mission to Avalon by Aetamos Yome and Inaki Tome. From Judar’s point of view, a lot happened during this mission, most notably that he began to fall into depravity. Judar lost his grandfather, and not only that, but a side of his grandfather he never knew was revealed to him, making him even more sickened. Upon leaving Avalon, though he gained a relationship with Inaki Tome, Judar was left with two things:

He was half the person he was before, caught between his depravity and his humanity, and the kunai of his grandfather. With these two things, Judar’s want and desperation for his goal grew, and as his desperation grew, his tolerance for killing increased. However, soon Judar received word about the death of Mikey Hoshgaki.

This triggered one of Judar's first outbursts of anger at Sunagakure for allowing Mikey to go on the mission. The second outburst came when he received word about Aetamos Yome's death, which he attributed to the incompetence of the village. The breaking point was when he learned of Mad Uchiha’s death, again due to the incompetence of his village.

These events led Judar to leave the village, especially after his brother, Nero Namikaze, who was the current Fourth Hokage, offered him a home in Konohagakure, which Judar initially declined. However, shortly after joining the village, a feud with Kirigakure led to the death of Nero, leaving Judar utterly broken. For the first time in his life, he didn’t know what to do. He refused to let Nero’s dream die, despite this, and took up the mantle of Hokage, being crowned the Fifth Hokage.

Shortly after, he lost another dear person close to him, adding fuel to the fire. His father figure perished to a Calamity right in front of his eyes.

Judar almost ended up like him, but both his own mental strength and the parting words of his father figure allowed him to persist.

But he refused. He refused to give in and effectively gained recognition from the Calamity. He emerged with steeled ideals and a clear path towards his goal.

The village was left in a crumbling state, and Judar quickly got to work. Within a year, Judar rebuilt Konohagakure from the ground up—not just in power, but in ideals. The village itself began to share Judar's vision of a land of true peace and fair judgment.

“A Land of Harmony.”

During his time, Judar remembered to focus on himself, making full use of his “Strings of Fate” to create new, unseen techniques alongside his clan’s techniques. He referred to his way of training and developing techniques as “cheating” due to his special ability.

Judar stepped down and relinquished the position, keeping his promise to the current high-ranking team of Konoha that he would give the spot to a natural-born Konoha shinobi after he rebuilt the village, passing the title of Hokage to Y'mir Yuki. Judar took this time to focus on himself, truly exploring his potential.

But during this time, a very grim day fell upon Judar. Park Namikaze died, and Judar returned to the village with the body of his little cousin in his hands, wearing a face of both regret and sadness. While his ideals did not waver, he truly questioned what it would take to end this cycle of hatred among humans, seeing as it had even affected his own family members, But, he already knew the answer.
