| - "Jingū Omikami" is a name that can apply to two separate entities. There is the "Past Jingū Omikami" who existed during the Omikami Clan's founding, but whose abilities, mind, and memories were sealed away by Afura in order to be born in a later life. And then there is the "Current Jingū Omikami" who was born with the previous Jingū's sealed traits. However, despite being two separate entities, Jingū claims both to be now be one in the same. In his past life, Jingū was hailed as "Prince of the Omikami Clan," being the son of the founder, Afura Omikami. He also was the first to uncover Void Release, and how to use its abilities to extend his life-span, the drawback being the expense of other lives. Both Jingū and Afura lived through the clan's development and growth, Afura being unaware that Jingū was taking part of the life energy he stole from others and transfering it to Afura. Because of the seemingly endless lives and their immense power, Jingū and Afura were hailed as the most knowledgable beings among the clansmen. This was until rumors spread that their extended lives were coming through sacrifice. This spontaneous contradiction forged a schism in the clan, leading to two opposing sides - those who remained faithful to Jingū, and those who believed him to be a demon. The resulting "Omikami Clan Civil War," led to an abrupt falling in the once noble Omikami Clan. Afura, now having realized the truth about Jingū, confronted him and sealed him away with a four-pronged trigram seal - the four prongs representing the number of generations until Jingū is reborn, and the trigram representing Jingū's abilities, mind, and memories. The current Jingū was born in a time where the Omikami Clan was dwindling. Its weakness from the "Omikami Clan Civil War," had brought the clan to a state of endangerment. However, in comparison to the first Jingū, the current Jingū was far inferior, taking a longer time to awaken the Zentengan, the dōjutsu of the Omikami Clan. His mixed feelings of inferiority in power to the first Jingū, and shame of the sins of the first Jingū that he now had to carry, led Jingū to go under the alias of "Jatai Omikami" meaning "Great God Serpent" as a testament to his feelings of guilt and cruelty that he had to carry due to his past life. Though, despite his inferiority to "Past Jingū," "Jatai" was successful at being a ninja, graduating from the Ūzūgakure Ninja Academy at the age of 9, and becoming a Chūnin at age 10. Despite it all, he could not stand the burdens pressed on him by his past life. During his time as an Ūzūgakure ANBU at age 14, Jingū travelled to the Temple of Yamatohime, a monumental structure built by Afura, where the most sacred of Omikami archives existed, including the secrets the Omikami Clan's dōjutsu and the history of the Omikami Clan. The first thing Jingū uncovered was that the seal Afura used to seal the first Jingū, which was now located on the center of the back of Jingū's neck, was currently in a state of unlocking, where part of it was unlocked, but not the full seal. Currently, the four prongs had unlocked, and the memories were half-way unlocked. Jingū feared that the gradual process by which the seal was unlocking would lead him to become exactly like the Jingū in his past life. To cope with this fear, Jingū hypothesized that if he could become strong enough, he could resist losing his heart to his past life. At age 15, Ūzūgakure was attacked by the Toyouke Clan, who had hateful ties to the Omikami, because of the first Jingū. Jingū participated in the suppression of the hostile forces, which ended up becoming a struggle that lasted for over a year. Nightmares would torment Jingū as the seal containing the memories was lifted. The pain that he continued to feel from his growing link to his past life, brought him to one conclusion: he would have to undo the sin of the first Jingū, by restoring his clan. As Ūzūkage, he allied his village with other well known villages, such as Konohagakure and Sunagakure. In order to redeem himself, Jingū vowed to aid in bringing about "Kanzen Sekai" a world where peace is the most stable factor. Though, mysteriously, after all the preparations were made to counter nukenin resistances, Jingū disappeared from the village and the Land of Sun. After 6 months without word, he was declared a missing-nin.
