Fangs bound by chains doomed to be broken.[P]

Wolves by far are pack animals, they function as a family would.
As a child Echo Koumori Uchiha would find himself shunned by most of his clan members for his ideals and for prejudice against him as a wind user combined with the fact that their Clan Head, Echo's Mother was taken from them after he came out.

As a child Echo struggled in the Shinobi arts while his Brother Viper Kamu Uchiha excelled and was praised as a prodigy and was announced as the heir when their Father dies.
Koroshi Subete Uchiha while even odder then Echo in terms of tradition, was a powerful child possessing super-human strength which combined with his outright genius when it came to Taijutsu left Echo in the dust.

Echo Uchiha struggled for ages, he could not perform jutsu well, his chakra control was exceptional, his genjutsu were easily breakable, his taijutsu was poor his knowledge on seals were average but his weaponry skills were his only saving grace...
However, he was out performed rather easily by other Uchiha and was branded as a failure.

He was abandoned by his family after an incident with a few Genin while he himself did not even enter the academy.
Echo was disowned abandoned to wander the streets in the slums of Konoha...surprisingly this was where Echo flourished, he became a figure of infamy to the ANBU squads that were forced to give chase to the Uchiha who played a prank or stole some food for himself, his tactics were extraordinary and his trapping and evasion skills were enough to outpace an entire ANBU squad while he ran through the streets of Konoha like only one who lived on them could...

He then entered the academy once more and graduated with graduating scores, in the middle of the class in tests and taijutsu but his jutsu theory and survival skills made him rookie of the year for class B-3, Viper was Rookie of the year in class A-2 in the upper floors and Koroshi was Rookie of the year in class C-1 and was widely regarded as the strongest Genin level Shinobi in all of Konoha due to his monstrous strength..at the time his Brothers had to team-up to even match up to the 'Juggernaught' as he was nicknamed due to his large size and monstrous strength.
Viper was called the 'Mastermind' due to his arrogance and the mind-games he played with his opponents...

It would be many years before Echo got his own moniker...
A year as a Genin on a team with his Brothers as they reunited with a Jounin instructor who was rarely present due to illness gave the Brothers a lot of freedom and fame in the village as they took on C-ranks and the occasional B-rank with the permission of their Sensei from the Hospital and another watcher of theirs.

Their Brother Koroshi went missing two days before a catastrophe struck Konoha a Senju attacking their home with two other Shinobi who succeeded in decimating their forces and completely destroying their village...
The Brothers were separated and on low morale due to the uncertainty that came with the attack and separation 'Are my Brothers okay?' were the thoughts that ran through the twins minds as they went from day to day...

Then the Chuunin exams came around and in a bid to show that Konoha Shinobi were always ready to fight, the Brothers entered..not realizing this.
They reunited in the Forest of Death and breezed through the exams where Echo and Viper underwent a Two versus Ten match it was Team Nikou Versus Team Ravage from Kirigakure...they won the fight with one single combination attack and were granted the rank of Chuunin.

They later went on to rebuild the entirety of Konoha with the only assistance coming from a Senju girl with the rank of Genin and a few other Shinobi.
Now newly minted Chuunin Echo and Viper continued on with their lives Echo even being forced to fight with a young Uchiha who believed all Uchiha superior to others, Echo won decisively and dodged the boys attempts to make him his Sensei repeatedly until the boy was killed later on in his career.

Echo Uchiha was promoted to ANBU Captain after his Brother, newly selected to be Hokage at the simple age of Thirteen put in his name.
Mere weeks after their ascent of the ranks Echo and Viper were the chosen of Konoha to stop an attack from the Jinchuuriki of another dimension, their Echo and Viper entered a gate and fought the Seven Headed Hydra, a beast that controlled the waves and acid.

Launching a combination attack the Hydra charged with the intent to devour the two Uchiha after being sent in a blind rage with his wounds, Viper dodged from the beasts charge..Echo did not, Echo kept up the wind powering Viper's flames and with a roar of exertion and a defiant glare set on his face the Hydra fell to it's injuries before it could slay the lone ANBU.

It was this deed that granted Echo the rank of Master Class Shinobi as Bijuu were no longer a threat to him.
When the Fire-Sky war began Echo was kept under wraps, Operative Kitsune was his name, the Supreme Commander of the ANBU Black-ops, a secret weapon used for assassinating Sky nations Daimyo and choking their funds.
His only direct confrontation and only real fight was later on in the war, when he fought a Tyrant proclaiming himself a Hero by the name 'Azaiyo the Godhand' who caused Suna to defect from the Fire Nation..after two failed assassination attempts Echo was sent, and Echo succeeded with heavy damage to Sunagakure itself, he lost control of the Kyuubi's rage and without realizing his job was done he started murdering civilians in a bid to draw Azaiyo out.

Navi an ANBU operative at the time, the Hokage Viper and the Raikage Kurisu all had to step in to stop his rampage.
Echo then left to Asgard to search for Azaiyo..only to see the burnt carcass half crucified in the ruins of the Kazekage building.

Echo the Invincible as they called him when regarded as a Hero, was then called the Fujin no Daimao; The Wind God Demon King a Kage killer.
He lost the trust of his subordinate Navi and was under watch when Navi the Swift was made Hokage.

Echo's demeanor has changed throughout the years, from a peaceful charismatic boy who hated unnecessary bloodshed...to a cold fast-talking charismatic psychopath who is lately more likely to strike out against his own Hokage then admit he's feeling guilty with all he's done.

A man at the whims of his own rage and the rage of the Demon Sealed within his gut, his dreams broken and left undone.

To be brief, a Wolf is a pack animal...Echo was left alone for years before he found his family once more...his Nephew being one he must protect at all costs, one he raised since he was three years old..

The Kid was almost his own Kit, and Echo will protect the children his Brother left in his care...


We now join Echo Uchiha, the form he's chosen today with his Chrono lock ability is that of a Seventeen year old, a young body to help him cope with the rigorous training he's being put through..he's gotten soft lately the Jinchuuriki realizes, sloppy..so much power but he's not using it smart.
He lost an arm for gods sake, he got into a fight and didn't assess the situation...he wasn't fighting Navi...he was flailing angrily in his direction....the rage is affecting him too much, Navi was right he's not thinking for himself anymore.

A glowing bandanna wrapped around his forehead given to him by the Elder Wolf suppresses the Kyuubi's power and rage from affecting Echo's mind....giving him the first clear headed moment he's had in awhile....the Jinchuuriki threw up and dry heaved for ten minutes straight when it finally sunk in all that he's done...

He killed newborns...elderly sick, innocents in a blind rage..and only realized this for a second before the rage finally overtook his mind and changed his perception, he almost broke down crying at how far he's strayed from his morals...how impossible his dreams are to reach now...

How he's no better then those he hated..
He once preached about being a Hero...but he's lost the ability to do so, how does one make up for all that he's done?
For all the lives he took??
For the families he's broken with his selfishness and own lust driven mind..

Dear god, his influence might have broken his Neph-...no wait he was always like that...But still holy crap he's an evil bastard!
For a long moment Echo considered seppuku...glancing around to the half starved and injured Wolf tribe however...he realized how he could make up for all he's done.

Throwing himself into his training he began pushing back fiercely against the Kyuubi with renewed moral compass, and is currently dealing with having his chakra suppressed along with all of his abilities..he's been given a simple Dagger to fight and hunt and a simple pair of pants with nothing else to protect himself from the elements.

The Lone Wolf part of the training it was called, to get into the mindset of their tribe..it was a right of passage for young Wolves to enter adulthood and Echo now undergoes this.

It's been two weeks since he left for his Sage training and four days alone in the forest, a shelter has been made and the Jinchuuriki's hair is starting to grow out again his lean defined torso being scarred by several beasts of prey attempting to make a meal out of him...only to be killed themselves and used to sustain himself.

He's taken for granted just how much he relies on the Kyuubi, his tactical mind is once again sharpening and his skills with surviving and self preservation are once again becoming president, he's learning how to accept a loss and run away again...

Another few days pass and Echo is retrieved by the wolves and welcomed home with a feast and the teeth of his kills are collected and fashioned into a Bone-tooth necklace their pelts are gathered and fashioned into a blue cloak with white fur trimming around the collar the hem and the cuffs of the wrists.

These are the items they explain that will mark him as a member of the Wolf Tribe of summons...It was that explanation they began his true training in the ways of the Sage.

Meditation, complete balance with nature the Bandanna helps suppress the Kyuubi's rage and eases him through the training, the first attempt...that's all it takes and Echo enters the state that the Sages have spent years attempting to obtain.
The Wolves eyes widen in shock when the Jinchuuriki's eyes become a deep scarlet his pupils slit and two jagged purple tattoo's resembling daggers form across his face just below his eyes across his cheeks.
Fangs enlarge to an extent it always appears he's snarling, fingernails form into claws..and it's a good thing he wasn't wearing shoes.

His muscles are reinforced and his speed increases to an incredible margin, the power of the Kyuubi is tainted, but this kind of power...it feels right...it feels like he can do good with this power...

Then the chakra leaves him and he's told that Sage Mode only lasts so long and will leave him feeling fatigued the longer he's in it when it wears out.

Echo narrows his eyes at the thought...the power is risky....but less risky then losing his mind to rage..
With that in mind, he finds himself moving up his training to a secluded part of the Wolve clans den...

His next move to better himself...to tame the Kyuubi's power..just as his Brother tamed the Six-tails.
