Thank you to @theshaddowedsnow for helping me with some of the lore building hehe

So, Cooper is one of the few remaining Spiders whose families migrated to the Hidden Leaf after the Spiders' village was destroyed by the Akatsuki/Inheritors. The Spiders are basically the Uchihas and they all have the Sharingan and all that.

Cooper lived with his parents, whom were very harsh on him due to his lack of skills and him not being able to awaken his Sharingan, even willing to degrade him in front of others.

Meanwhile, Albert came from parents who were both well respected shinobi, one of them being a Jinchuriki to the Void Symbiote, and has a sister who is also a Spider. Despite not being a Spider himself, he's well trained in the ninja arts.

Albert dismisses Cooper as someone who's setting himself up for failure, but his dad believes he'd make a perfect rival for Albert.

During their time at the Academy, Cooper and Albert become eternal rivals. While Albert doesn't take it too seriously, Cooper shows his dedication to their rivalry.

During their Genin years, Cooper would ask to spar him every chance he gets even when Albert doesn't want too. But Albert would do them for Cooper's own sake.

Things take a turn when the Void Symbiote goes haywire and terrorizes the hidden leaf. The Void Symbiote then gets sealed inside Albert by his mom before the Symbiote impaled both his parents Minato and Kushina-style.

This deeply traumatized him and his sister, whom awakened her Sharingan. Albert was seen as a monster to the village because of the symbiote inside of him.

Despite all of that, Cooper continues challenging Albert. Except this time, Albert would decline and slowly distance himself from the others.

At one point, Cooper witnessed the death of his parents, which ultimately activates Cooper's Sharingan and manifests his spider abilities.

Cooper would then begin researching on spiders and advance his skills. He managed to develop his own jutsus and ninja art skills, he grew stronger and is willing to go aggressively on his enemies.

Meanwhile, both Cooper and Albert gets promoted to being a part of the ANBU. While Albert accepts the offer, Cooper declines because he believed it would his mental state, especially after the death of his parents.

Albert becomes more distant and cold during his time in the ANBU, even going far as not coming home. Despite all that, Cooper always asked him to at least hang out even if they didn't do any challenges.

This resulted in the two having a huge falling out.

Albert tells Cooper to take no for an answer and to leave him alone, while Cooper tells Albert that he's only gotten more worse since joining the ANBU Ops.

Since then, Cooper no longer bothered stopping Albert and instead let him do what he wants.

At one point, Cooper and Albert both ending up in a mission together. Cooper watches Albert kill off the enemy and couldn't help but worry for his wellbeing

Cooper confronts the Hokage, Cassandra Webb, and begs her to remove Albert from the ANBU because he's not fit for it. Albert overhears this and confronts Cooper about it.

Cooper finally breaks and yells at Albert for becoming the man that he now is, calling him an empty husk who became nothing but a killing machine. Cooper then storms away after telling him to die in a ditch for all he cared.

The last few moments with Cooper took a toll on Albert, the only other person who had chased after him and worried about him is no longer in his life. It made him regret his decisions more.

It wasn't until Albert's last ANBU mission where he gets severely injured by an enemy opponent, Cooper and a few other Shinobi were also involved in the mission. Right when the enemy was about strike and kill him for good, Cooper intervened and instantly killed the enemy.

Cooper then retreats from the scene with Albert and takes him to the hospital to receive medical attention. Albert and Cooper both apologize to each other for what they said.
