• 5'9"
  
• 145 lbs
  
• Nobu's attire consists of a short sleeveless dark yellow/green yukata, that falls to about his upper thighs with a purple Hiyoku, which is a sorta under-kimono. However the sleevs of the Hiyoku are slit so that his shoulders are bare and the sleeves are held onto his arms with arm guards. He has an obi (sash) tied around his waist where his primary weapons are also tied to. Under the yukata, he wears black tight pants that come to just below his knees. He wears high sandals that come to high shin level. And a shin guard is tied around his lower leg. He can also wear a Haori, a type of jacket that is light blue with white on the edges of the sleeves, in V-shapes, this is usually worn on long trips/missions. He can also wear brown hakamas, instead of tight pants. Usually this is more formal though.
  
  
• Noboru is a slender yet muscular teen, who almost appears to have grown fully accept for a few 'boy-ish' features here and there. What is most noticeable about Noboru are his sharp, green eyes. Long flowing brown hair cascades past his shoulders, however it is usually tied back into a high-ponytail. He has large calloused hands, that grip his swords firmly.
  
  
• Scared from past battles, spars and hard training, Noboru has had many scars though none are currently defined. However, if one were to get intimate they would see the scars large and small that line his body and would be able to trace some, if not all of them. He also has a tattoo of the Kumo village on the back of his neck.
  

• Noboru can often times be seen as not always serious, tending to be lazy, laid-back and carefree. He appears to be quite the caricature and can be a bit of a joker. Even though he doesn't always take things serious, he doesn't lack the motivation. His motivation seems to come from his joking around and having overall fun. But, over the years that has lessened some in that he tends to train a lot harder and take issues, matters, etc seriously, though not always with a serious face. He still remains a sneer and/or grin on his face. He also likes to edge people on, usually by mocking them, insulting them or some other variety of simulating words.
  
  Noboru however is not without empathy, kindness resides within his soul, however only to those he thinks of as close or friend. He isn't always the gentlemen (mind you, usually only to the ladies) and likes to mock friends because it is his way of having fun with them. He however, is usually joking and does not mean it in any rude way, he saves that for enemies. He also has a sereneness about him, he likes to spend afternoons sitting underneath a tree, watching the scenery and enjoying the calmness of the world around him. He has a bit of nobleness about him, in that he tends to do general good, with caring for others around. However, as his name suggests he wants to become stronger and "ascend"and be virtuous. And sometimes that path may not always be noble. But, in general he wants to do good.
  
  This carefree and easy-going guy, can also be quite serious when the time calls for it. Usually when he is agitated, aggravated, mad or when he is really driven to do something. He can be quite firm when it comes to something he is really driven to do, or has his mind or heart set to it. Such as protecting someone he cares about, fighting for something he believes in, etc. He will also "finish things" and go with things until the end.

• Kodachi
  Rank: C
  Type: Primary / Melee

  *Wakizashi
  Rank: C
  Type: Primary / Melee
  Description: A wakizashi is similar to but shorter than a katana in shape, and usually shorter than the kodachi, with the blade no longer than twenty inches. Regardless, it retains its sharpness, and is ideal as a backup sword should the main one fail.

• Kunai (Throwing Knife) x5
  Rank: D
  Type: Secondary / Melee + Ranged
  Special: 2 per Pack.
  Description: This throwing knife is one of the common weapons of a ninja. It is often kept in a holster on the leg in a pouch attached to the belt. What makes it so versatile and universal is the fact the Kunai can be used in conjunction with explosive tags and other weapons to form deadly combos out of simple, easily accessible items.
  
  Shuriken (Ninja Star)x2
  Rank: D
  Type: Secondary / Ranged
  Special: 5 per Pack.
  Description: A shuriken, like kunai, is one of the more basic weapons employed by ninja of all classes. They are sharpened, four-pronged metal stars, no more than a few inches long, and are extremely useful for throwing. Although small, they can be used to distract, or, if accurate enough, to kill. They have an open circle in the center, used for grabbing with a finger, to avoid cutting oneself, or to put thread through. The circle is also a benefit in aerodynamics, as it ensures more accurate trajectories.
  Cost: 100 Ryo per Pack

  Rank: D
  Type: Secondary / Ranged
  Special: 20 per Pack.

Although ineffective when used individually, they can severely cripple a whole enemy unit with appropriate use.
  
  Kiri-Oni (Demon Claws)
  Rank: B
  Type: Secondary / Melee
  Special: 1 per Pack.
  Description: Claws are useful weapons for a ninja to have as backup mainly due to their reliability. Though difficult to hide, they are nonetheless effective as a secondary means of attacking.

• Tracker
  Rank: C
  Type: Accessory / Self

  Description: Similar to the communication's device in ease and effectiveness, the range finder can function both as binoculars and as a means to measure the distance to a target. snug and sleek, it fits across only one eye, and has a see-through lens that establishes visual information. With a durable carapace, it is designed to withstand water damage and even the pressure of extreme altitudes.
  
  Exploding Note

  Type: Tool / Area of Effect
  Range: 0 - 5 meters
  Special: 10 per pack
  Description: The exploding note is a piece of parchment paper infused with special chakra, layered over with a special script on it that serves to enable and facilitate its explosive properties. Its execution is simple - the ninja can attach the note to another object such as a kunai or log, and upon activation, the note is set and begins either a slow countdown burn, which eventually results in a large explosion, or the explosion in itself upon command.
  Cost: 500 per Pack
