Description:
Iwanaka is around the age of 15 and has a very soft face but with a abrupt jaw jutting out. Iwanaka has a very dark tan, but he somehow looks pale, and he has white hair, a genetic trait, which he combs back, leaving small bangs hanging out in front of his eyes which are often swept to the left of his forehead. His eyes are dark brown and almost seems glassy, but blank at the same time but his lower eye lid seems to be dark as if he was wearing make up. Normally Iwanaka wears a simple but lose red robe with swirls around the chest area and the thigh area but the cuffs of the robe are encrusted in gold. The pants of the robes set are rolled up several times so that the robes don't trip him. Iwanaka wears wooden sandals that have small pieces of cloth over the stalks of the shoe so that they will be quieter when sneaking around. Iwanaka also wears fencing gloves with metal plates, ensign with the symbol of Iwa, on the palm.

likeness of character
Iwanaka is a person who believes in what he does and does what he believes. He is the type of person that really thinks the end justify the means no matter how horrific the deed. He would like to be a good person but he knows that if he has a choice between either the good thing or the thing that would help him out, he would pick the thing that helps him out the most. The boy is realistic and highly despises people who think the world is kind to everyone. Iwanaka is very manipulative so he could be talking to one person and being his friend and going out of his way to help him then ask for one favor and after that favor is done, totally disregard that person. Although he doesn't like to admit it, he is very easily persuaded. If you pitch a few good lines at Iwanaka and he might just join on the spot, although chances are he would regret it later. Being smart, fast thinking, and manipulative, Iwanaka is an asset for any nation.
Fighting style/specialty:
Iwanaka relies on three things in battle, Speed, Tools, and Ninjutsu. Iwanka believes that if you can attack your opponent first and at any distance, you will win eventually no matter how strong the enemy is or how weak your punches and kicks are in the terms of power As such he also has high stamina, reasonable taijutsu skill, can complete seals quickly but has low strength.
Biography:
Kyoujinn Iwanaka was born to two people, a male and a female, like all other children are but unlike most children his parents disowned him on the spot and gave him to his grandparents who were established assassins and need not prove themselves to anyone at such a old age. The boy grew up quickly, often learning and understanding adult themes and subjects which killed his ignorance that most people called childhood.
At age 10 he started going to school and showing a very keen interest in weapons and stealth which at his age, where hand to hand brutality ran rampant, put him off as a slight out cast in the academy. Iwanaka was more skilled in the arts of Ninjutsu, Tools, Speed, and seals with Taijutsu, Stamina, and Chakra Control following moderately behind. Power is low compared to other stats and Genjutsu is barely even used. Although Iwanaka doesn't have a lot of power, he often hits more and dodges more attacks than his opponents which often leads him to the win. Since his win to lose ratio was nearly absolute , the kids hated and shunned him. It didn't matter to the ten year old, he had friends else where and it was fun hearing people shifting and whispering into another person's ear about how stupid he is or how weak he is.
At age 11 Iwanaka learned why his last name, Kyoujinn, was a name that was revered and feared around the people of Iwa. He also learned why his parents might have left him with his grand parents. The Kyoujinn were a group of assassins but any ninja could do that as well right? Wrong. The Kyoujinn had special techniques that aren't thought outside the clan and if they were, that person would feel the wrath of his own clan. The most common technique, and that which made the clan the first specialized on assassination in Iwa, is the Assassin's Dagger which isn't seen by anyone less of having Byakugan eyes, the blade is formed around the wrist and a small blade juts out, like a Katar. His body is very lean and all his actions done with such a dismal amount of chakra it produced no effort and causes no exhausting, no matter what he was doing.
The clan, however, had a win or go home mentality, if you did not succeed in killing the mark you are given you are shamed and until you kill that mark you are to be treated as a child unless some circumstance intervened. upon failing two marks in a row, despite going after the mark again, you are consider an outcast of the clan and no matter what you do, your clan members will not talk with you, however this does not extend to children. In rare cases, such as Iwanaka or so he thinks, the child is left with the immediate family and the parents go away to never be seen again.
Iwanaka doesn't like to think about his parents and his training did not permit him to think about it either. His grandparents took him out of the academy because it was making him "soft" and he was making unnecessary attachments to other people and he could use that time to train.Iwanaka's grandparents are old school and think that the more friends you have, the less of a ninja you are but Iwanaka himself does not believe this himself.
The training was restless but it did not cause Iwanaka any shame, if anything is bolstered his ego. Although he was stronger than most genin, which he would have been if his grandparents didn't take him out of the academy, he was not strong at improvising. His grand parents taught him how things should go under the best conditions, not having the table turned on him.
At 13 he was granted permission to go and battle other clansmen which was there way of seeing how much the child has progressed. Iwanaka was commented as being one of the best pupils they have ever had but that could have just been an attempt of keeping his spirits high so that he would continue learning. The older members taught him something his grand parents couldn't because of there old age and old ways, strategy. Fellow clan members taught him how to plan out the battle before it happened, how to lure your opponent into his own defeat. How to use your terrain to lose your opponent and make him lose his sense of direction, how big and flashy jutsus may look nice and seem powerful but take more chakra than using the little simple jutsus you learn in the academy, how to exert minimum energy for maximum outcome, and how to kill.
At 14 Iwanaka went back to the academy and unsurprisingly passed in a year, but he did learn about a few things in classes like elemental affinities, which he did not learn much about because Kyoujinn is an element less clan. At age 15, Iwanaka became a genin and a accepted ninja in Iwa. At this time, his grand father passed on and his grandmother kicked him out stating that "Now that your a ninja, I am a unneeded relationship"
