Kazuki Hoshigaki was born into a family with a long lineage of proud and fearsome warriors, all bearing the unmistakable traits of their clan-shark-like features, sharp teeth, and an aura of ferocity that set them apart. However, as he entered the world, it was evident that Kazuki was different. His face lacked the distinctive shark-like appearance, his teeth were not serrated like those of his relatives, and he bore a gentler, more human-like countenance. From the moment he took his first breath, whispers and hushed discussions echoed through the Hoshigaki clan. Kazuki's difference set him apart from his family, and despite sharing the same blood, he was an outcast among his own kin. The clan's elders couldn't hide their disappointment, and the other young Hoshigaki children regarded him with a mixture of curiosity and scorn. Kazuki's parents did their best to shield him from the judgment of the clan, but the young boy couldn't escape the feeling of isolation. He yearned to prove himself, to demonstrate that strength and courage were not defined solely by one's appearance. The desire to find his own path in the ninja world burned brightly within him, and he knew that his journey would be one of unique challenges, where his determination and inner strength would have to compensate for the lack of shark-like traits. As the years passed, Kazuki would face both adversity and opportunity, forging his own destiny and proving that one's worth as a ninja wasn't limited to the physical characteristics they possessed.
