Rokuro was born thirteen years after the great war in an era of peace between the great nations. He was born into a loving and responsible home that praised morals. Birthed as the son of the Tsuchikage, expectations for the boy were always high. From an early age, he was trained rigorously by highly skilled jonin along with his mother, and excelled at an incredibly quick pace. Before even entering the academy, he had been taught excellent chakra control and various elemental ninjutsu. During his academy days, that knowledge made him superior to the other children. He excelled to great heights, proving to have become stronger than the normal genin. During his chunin exams, he was able to complete them up to the final stage, where he easily triumphed, courtesy of his elemental ninjutsu gift.
