Elite Oribe

After completing his Chunin exams, Elite continued to serve Sunagakure with remarkable courage. One of his most notable acts of bravery came when he risked his life to protect Ner Y. Uchiha, a council member of Sunagakure, during a long and brutal battle against forces from the Land of Mountain. Despite Elite's heroic efforts, Ner ultimately succumbed to his injuries. However, Elite’s valiant actions did not go unnoticed. A member of the Sunagarden, known only as “Redacted,” honored him with a badge, and upon accepting it, Elite was promoted to Jonin.

Shortly after, Elite’s unwavering loyalty was put to the test once more when his comrade, Neptune Yome, found himself in a perilous situation. Without hesitation, Elite put his life on the line to save Neptune. In doing so, Elite was kidnapped and subjected to cruel experiments, resulting in the loss of his arm.

Despite the trauma, Elite's resolve remained unbroken. He was eventually rescued by Aki Uchiha, along with shinobi from the Hidden Leaf, Mist, and Sand villages. Elite's courage, sacrifice, and resilience solidified his place as one of Sunagakure's most respected and heroic shinobi.

After being rescued and fully recovering, Elite Oribe set a new goal for himself: to become a council member and serve his people even more effectively. With determination, he focused on honing his skills and, after a period of intense training to become an HR, he was appointed a council member by Kazekage Shred Houki.

Elite made it his personal mission to ensure that Shred Houki did not meet the same tragic fate as Ner Y. Uchiha. He dedicated himself to daily training while also teaching Academy students, earning a reputation as a respected and capable leader within the community. His commitment to the village and its people soon became evident, and it was clear that Elite Oribe was destined to play a pivotal role in Sunagakure’s future.

In time, his efforts and leadership qualities propelled him to a position of even greater influence. Elite Oribe eventually became the 7th Kazekage, assuming the mantle of leadership and continuing his work to rebuild and strengthen the village he had always fought for.

Shred Houki had a long conversation with Elite, where Elite's dedication to saving and protecting the lives of his villagers earned him the title of Kazekage, bestowed upon him by his sensei. Wanting to relieve the previous Kazekage of some of his burdens, Elite allowed him to take a short vacation. In his place, Elite appointed his closest friend, Prince A, as his assistant. Shortly after, Neptune Yome requested an expedition to the Land of Tea to retrieve a rare crystal he needed. Always eager to help, Elite agreed to the request. However, this decision would soon prove to be a disastrous mistake for Sunagakure. Elite, along with Ghoul Kazesuna, Prince A, and Neptune Yome, set out on what seemed like a simple mission. They ventured into the Land of Tea without permission, an act that unknowingly sealed their fates.

After hours of searching, the group found themselves in a remote cave, where the crystal was rumored to reside. But just as they began to investigate, a man appeared. His name was Inaki Tome, and he was furious at the uninvited guests. He gave them an ultimatum: Neptune Yome and Prince A had to fight to the death. If they refused, Inaki threatened to slaughter everyone in the land. Desperate to protect his comrades, Elite offered to sacrifice himself, but Inaki was unmoved by his plea. With no other choice, the group faced a devastating decision, one that would test their loyalty and survival in the face of an unimaginable challenge. Elite was forced to watch helplessly as his closest friend and fellow councilman fought each other. It was a battle he knew was his fault, and he desperately tried to stop them. But Inaki, cold and calculating, silenced him by seizing his tongue, threatening to rip it out if he spoke. Helplessly, Elite could only watch as Prince A was mercilessly killed before his eyes.

With the prince's death, a chain of catastrophic events ensued, and the political landscape of the shinobi world was thrown into chaos. The 7th Kazekage, whose actions had indirectly led to the death, became the focal point of the turmoil. Soon, the tension between Iwagakure and the Sand reached a boiling point.

Konrad Chinoike, the Tsuchikage, was consumed with fury. He had lost a dear friend in Prince A, and his anger was directed squarely at Elite. His hatred for him grew to such an extent that it sparked an all-out war between the Sand and Iwagakure. In a confrontation that would define the course of history, Konrad stormed into the Kazekage's office, openly disrespecting the legacy of the previous Kazekages. Elite, unable to let this affront stand, fought with everything he had to defend his honor and the honor of the Sand. But despite his best efforts, the battle was unwinnable. In the end, Elite fell to Konrad's overwhelming strength. As the life drained from him, his final words were a quiet, desperate plea: “Shred, go back home… Take them, home.” With those words, Elite's legacy ended, but the fight for the future of the shinobi world was far from over.
