~CANNON HISTORY (Via Leafninja)~
Sarutobi Asuma was born into the Sarutobi clan to Sandaime Hokage. At the age of nine he graduated from the Ninja Academy and at 12 he passed the Chuunin Exam. Earlier in his life Asuma was apparently one of the Twelve Elite Guardians of the Fire Country Daimyou. He left Konoha behind to seek his own path but returned at some point before the series start. He still wears the "Fire" loincloth of this elite group. Asuma eventually became a Jounin and was assigned Team 10 (Nara Shikamaru, Yamanaka Ino, and Akimichi Chouji).

Asuma was apparently on testy terms with his father but came to understand his place in time. Asuma maintained a relatively relaxed demeanor, and was almost always seen smoking. When battle erupted though, Asuma could quickly dispatch his foes with his Wind Element enhanced knives. Asuma often tried to look out for the best interests of his Genin team. He pressed Chouji to train more and frequently played Shougi with Shikamaru. During this time he also spent a lot of his free time alongside Yuuhi Kurenai, hinting at some romantic connection.

Asuma was impressed with his Genin enough that he entered them into the Chuunin Exam. He watched on as they made it past the second test and took part in the third test prelims. When Hyuuga Neji went to strike Hinata fatally, the watching Jounins jumped in... except for Asuma who watched on from above. He then bore witness to both Ino and Chouji losing their respective matches while Shikamaru advanced on. During the third test he sat with Kurenai and explained Shikamaru's genius, but he was still surprised when the young man gave up his match. When Sand and Sound launched their invasion Asuma avoided the Genjutsu attack. When Shikamaru, Naruto and Sakura went after Sasuke, Asuma followed. Sound ninja had pursued them so Asuma followed as well to help. During their journey Shikamaru stayed behind to sacrifice himself, when the Sound ninja closed in Shikamaru accepted his fate, but thankfully instead of a Sound ninja appearing behind him to strike the fatal blow it was Asuma, much to the surprise of the Sound ninja. Asuma made quick work of the ninja and told Shikamaru his part was done. Shortly thereafter Asuma and the rest of Konoha mourned the passing of Sandaime Hokage, Asuma's father.

Asuma later assisted Kakashi alongside Kurenai when Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame came to Konoha looking for Naruto. Asuma squared off solo against Kisame, using his Hien to draw blood on the missing-nin. However Kisame revealed tricks of his own, shredding Asuma's arm with his sword Samehada. When Itachi moved to kill Kurenai, Asuma quickly jumped in to help. Before he and the other Leaf ninja could counter-attack, Itachi and Kisame fled.

In the following years he would proudly congratulate Ino and Chouji as they became Chuunin as well and he gave them earrings as a gift. He then wished them well as they would now start leading their own teams. During this time Asuma also began to evaluate his place in Konoha and decided he was merely a sacrificial pawn on the Shougi board of life. He explained his thoughts to Shikamaru saying he was a Pawn and Shikamaru was a Knight. He asked Shikamaru if he knew who the "King" was. The young man had no answer and Asuma said it would come to him in time.

Sample RP:
A trail of smoke floated listlessly above his head as he cruised the streets of Konoha; only one thing was on his mind. He strolled nonchalantly down to the nearest shop, ducked inside, and popped back out with a small wooden box in hand. Strolling farther on a ways, he soon slipped into another shop and came out with a small bag of things which he quickly emptied into the box. It was a special someone's birthday today and Asuma Sarutobi was NOT going to forget this one; something that had happened one too many times in the recent years following this one. He refused to do that to her again, seeing as how she loved it when he got her a present for her special day, and she was always so down when he would forget or be too busy. They had been best friends since the academy and Kurenai had always held a special place in Asuma's heart, seeing as how madly in love with her he was to go out and blow half of his monthly salary just to get her a special surprise. Make that several surprises; he had to make up for every year he had forgotten, which recently since being appointed jounin status had been a big issue.

Sneaking up to the Yamanaka flower shop and furtively looking around, Asuma quickly ducked into the shop and proceeded to casually look for a bouquet that would make her smile. It needed to be darker in color, because Kurenai was not too keen on bright and flashy things other than jewelry, and it needed to be something not too pretensious but just enough to display the right message. As he was looking at some daisys and orchids in the corner, he felt a tap on his shoulder and he froze. Crap, someone found me.... he thought to himself as he slowly turned to stare face to face with Yamanaka Ino, holding a big bouquet of fresh red roses. Here, Asuma-sensei. Jeez, ur so hopeless! Everyone knows that Kurenai's favorite flowers are roses! she said with a sarcasticly chiding tone in her voice. Shhhh! Someone might hear! he whispered to her as he handed her the money required for the bouquet and shooed her off before someone noticed him. The girl giggled and skipped away, but not before giving him the "you owe me" look which usually meant barbeque. Boy oh boy.... he said with a sigh and an eye roll as he walked out of the shop and hurried off to deliver his parcels before they spoiled.

Taking a long, final drag off of his Marlboro Red, Asuma flicked it into a puddle on the ground and stamped it out as he neared Kurenai's apartment. His heart was beating like a bass drum in his ears and his palms were sweating up a storm. God, he was nervous. His mouth was so dry, and as he walked up the steps to her apartment, he couldn't think up anything to say when giving her his gift. He cleared his throat and popped a mint in his mouth to freshen his breath as he stepped up to the door. Hesitantly, Asuma rung the doorbell and took a few steps back so she could open the door. The door silently opened and there stood the woman of the hour, looking fabulously gorgeous as always. Asuma stood there gaping as he tried to summon up the words he wanted to say, but they just weren't there. Just as he was about to lose his nerve, he heard the beautiful kunoichi squeal and hug him tightly as she was so happy to see he remembered. All he could do was let out a big sigh of relief and slowly and softly smile.
