"From this day forward Rey, you will take up the flame of our forefathers. Carry it into the new generation with pride, Torchbearer." 

To inherit the Will of Fire, to live by its code, and to instill it into the new generation is the greatest honor of a Torchbearer. An honor passed down through the Sarutobi clan since its founding. We are taught from a young age the importance of this philosophy. Each given the chance to find their own true answer of that it is that fuels our inner fire. The drive to believe, cherish and fight to protect what those before had left us with. 

"I want to spread hope. To give everyone a chance to experience the beauty of existence  as long as the flame of life burns within their lungs, within their hearts." 

 

Rey Sarutobi, born within the Land of Fire is the son of Ashina Sarutobi, the youngest brother of Lord Ushina. In order to rise to the occasion his family was placed in due to Ushina's position, Ashina instilled Rey with the core beliefs of the Sarutobi clan from day one. His early childhood involved traveling to different clans with his father, nurturing relations and spreading their influence further within the land. It was during this period that Rey developed a mischievous side. Running off to show other children his natural predisposition towards the Fire Element, he'd burn anything big or small he could get his hands on. This landed him into a lot of trouble, but it would also be a stepping stone to one of his greatest friendships.

During a visit to the Uchiha clan, deep inside the gambling town of Tanzaku, Rey met Lord Zetsubo's elders daughter, Yui. She was beautiful, petite and elegant. Draped in the finest of silks. She walked with grace, each step more graceful than the last. Until she wasn't. All it took was for her escorts to look away for a second, and the dress came off flying, the Uchiha went off running. To say she was a handful would be an understatement. This sparked a joy within Rey. He was drained from the constant peace talks, formalities and a chance to monkey around - how could one say no? 

In sheer moments, Rey tumbled out of the cart that took them to Tanzaku, jumping from rooftop to rooftop as Ashina's voice faded out in the distance. Shortly enough, he'd run into Yui. Sitting on the tall wall that went around Tanzaku. This is where they'd meet for the first time. Throwing rocks at the locals for a few hours as they shared their mutual annoyance at what they're fate was. No child wanted to be locked up all day, listening to old people chat about war. They were young, full of life, and ready to explore the endless possibilities their imagination could come up with.

They're day dreaming would come to a stop, as their fathers dragged them both by the ear off the wall. They both spent the rest of the day grounded, sitting opposite of each other as their parents discussed further talks that would benefit both of their clans.

"You know, I want to sail the ocean, Who knows what's on the other side.. what's underneath the massive tides.." - Yui Uchiha

This friendship would last for many more years to come, until Yui's passing due an assassination attempt on her father during yet another of the meetings between the two families. She was the closest thing Rey ever had to a love interest, and he'd spent many years blaming himself for not being able to save her. This relationship sparked a counter offensive, uniting the heads of the Uchiha and the Sarutobi in an combined effort to bring justice to a life unjustly taken. This event fortified Rey's resolve, hardening him in the years to come as a shinobi.
