Born into poverty in the Land of Water, Nowaki, at the time called Fushin, was discriminated against by his fellow villagers, with his Typhoon Style kekkei genkai being blamed for the destruction of their village years prior when a typhoon blew in from the coast. Being sold to a businessman named Kusabi, he was used to generate capital from bets in the Merchant of Death's Coliseum, suffering starvation and torture for each loss. At first blaming Chino, one of the few shinobi he could not beat, for such, he quickly realized that Kusabi was to blame, and became friends over their shared discrimination for their kekkei genkai. Organizing a mass breakout, Fushin, Chino, and Karyu effectively emptied the Coliseum. While Chino returned to her ancestral home in the Valley of Hell, the rest formed the Lightning Group, a gang of kekkei genkai users raiding criminals and supporting small villages. However, when they Mist determined they were too big of a threat, they were quickly exterminated, with the few survivors being denied refuge in the very villages they had helped, forcing Fushin to go to the only other source of safety he knew; Chino. Organizing a massive scheme utilizing their old surviving allies, who had organized the Dark Thunder Group, to lure out Sasuke Uchiha to get revenge for Chino's clan, blaming Fushin as one of their operative, now Nowaki disguised by Chino's dōjutsu, Nowaki and Karyu lured him to the Valley of Hell where Chino was waiting, though they would ultimately realize that he was uninvolved and looking for redemption from his own demons, an argument the two found extremely convincing. The two were voluntarily taken to one of the Mist's prisons, now under the control of Mei Terumi instead of the brutal Yagura Karatachi, where they worked as shinobi for the village to earn their freedom. |
