Description: A long knife, at least six inches long, with a clip point at the top of the blade which brings the tip lower than the spine for better control.

Personality::

|LOYAL|
Loyalty is the one thing that Katsuro holds highest above all else. Loyalty to his village, his Kage and his family but above all the bonds forged in the heat of battle and tempered by the spilling of shared blood are scared to this shinobi. Those who have fought by his side know that Katsuro would not think twice about endangering himself to protect those he feels this bond with. As a by product of this Katsuro does not suffer traitors or betrayal…

|UNFORGIVING|
Katsuro is one who knows how to bear a grudge. As far as he is concerned redemption comes at a price equal to the sin and until that price has been paid expect no quarter or forgiveness from this young shinobi. If he feels that anyone has endangered or betrayed him or his friends they will feel his wrath and he will dispatch it with all of his might…

|CUNNING AND RUTHLESS|
When Katsuro puts his energies towards a task he becomes cunning and utterly ruthless. The strategies that he employs are usually extremely devious and executed without a second thought. As such he can become quite the formidable opponent…

|SOCIABLE|
Katsuro is one who enjoys the company of others. Being a part of his village is a big thing for him and he likes to know those who he could be standing next to in the heat of battle. Being quite the passionate amateur chef he enjoys sharing his talents with his team mates…

|CALM|
Katsuro is a keen practitioner of meditation and is not one to get flustered easily. He knows the importance of keeping a clear head and so that he can notice, process and react to changes in his environment. Bad food, however, is something that he can be quite short tempered about…

Appearance::

|Head|
Katsuro wears his distinctive blue hair in an equally distinctive spiked style. His face is unmarked by blemishes and he still possesses the soft, childish features of youth. This iris’ of his eyes are nearly a matching black to that of his pupils. Another distinguishing characteristic is his short, upturned nose that he swears is responsible for what he calls his ‘infallible sense of smell’…

|Attire|
Katsuro wears a loosely fitted, sleeveless black top that exposes the star tattoo on his shoulder. His top also has a high neck the extends up to his chin around the base of which he ties his forehead protector with the ends of it trailing behind him almost giving the illusion of a scarf. His pants are three quarter length and black, with grey trimming around the hems. Katuro hates tightly fitted clothing because he feels that it restricts his movement and is just generally uncomfortable. Because of his experience in the Land of Rain Katsuro hates wet feet and has forgone the traditional Shinobi sandals and instead wears enclosed black shoes with white toes emblazoned with the same star design tattooed on his shoulder.

|General Appearance|
Not tall or short, Katsuro is wiry and built for endurance and speed. His skin is lightly tanned and his shoulder is tattooed with the design of a star. He carries himself with confidence and the flame of determination burns in his eyes. His only real outstanding physical feature is his blue hair which he takes perhaps a bit too much vain pride in arranging into the outlandish spiked ‘do’ that he sports on a daily basis…

History::

Katsuro’s Version

I used to love the rain. Something about the sound of rain always used to relax me, like somehow it was a message that all was right in the world…

I was born in Kirigakure and from that day my future was set in stone; I would be a Shinobi of the Kirigakure. My father served with honour as did his father before him and so on back as far as anyone can remember. My mother was a Kiri-Nin as well, a Shinobi who specialised in medical treatments, a position that is highly valued in the field. I, however, inherited my father’s Kekkai Touta, a highly effective offensive skill so even if I had wanted to I wouldn’t have been able to follow in her footsteps.

People tell me my father was a great man, a Shinobi of the Kirigakure worth emulating. He was strong, proud and honourable and in the field completely ruthless. My mother was the soft touch that calmed him, or so I’m told. She was gentle, a rare trait for those that herald from our village, and seemed the perfect counterpart for my father. She was taken from us when I was young, betrayed by someone in whom she was supposed to trust. My father did the honourable thing and sort revenge. He was always a bit distant, like he was never sure what to do around me or how to interact. He cared, took interest in my wellbeing and the development of my skills but could never seem to find a way to connect. He was a hard man and I guess he could never quite figure it out, how to open himself up but remain strong. He died as well, another casualty of the Great Shinobi War.

I endured the brutal training of the Academy. I proved myself a capable ninja and after three years was elevated to the rank of Genin. The Great Shinobi War was in full swing by then so each village needed as much fighting power as they could muster.

I used to love the rain…

I was assigned to a team with two other Genin who, like myself, were fresh out of the Academy. We were led by Akira Nobu, a young Chunnin and assigned out first mission. We were to infiltrate the Land of Rain and relay tactical intelligence back to the village. That land in cold, hard and covered in an eternal down pour. Everything went wrong from the moment we crossed the boundary into that forsaken land. No matter what we did to hide ourselves it seemed like the Ame Shinobi always knew where we were, when to strike us. They let us get deep enough into their territory that we couldn’t retreat and for months we were hunted like rabbits, fighting tooth and nail for our very survival.

Takun, another of the Genin, was the first to fall; killed before any of us knew we had even been set upon. One moment he was there and the next he was staring at the hole in his chest as if idly wondering where it had come from. We survived that encounter, barely, and many more like it. It seemed as though the Ame-Nin were at every turn, like they knew where we were going. Eventually we learned from a captured Genin that the Shinobi of the Amegakure had learned a technique that allowed them to track the presence of anyone who was under where their rain fell. Like I said, I used to love the rain…

It took us months of hiding and running in the torrential down pour before we reached relative safety. We lost Akira Nobu in an engagement just before left the rain behind, just on the border of the Land of Rain. He sacrificed himself so that we could fall back and inform our village of what we had learned. Ayame, the other surviving Genin, succumbed to horrible wound she had suffered before we reached the Kirigakure which left me.

I served with other teams, fought alongside and against many Shinobi. Then it ended, the Great Shinobi War was over, leaving devastation and death in its wake and now I find myself wondering what the future will hold for our village and what part I will play in it…

Official Report on Shinobi 204562

CLASSIFIED

Subject Name: Katsuro Mido
Subject Age: 12

In accordance with your wishes I have compiled a report on Katsuro Mido, Shinobi Registration Number 204562, and his competence to serve in the capacity of Genin of the Village Hidden in the Mist.

Katsuro is the only child of Kojiro Mido, Jounin of the Kirigakure and possessor of the Ranton Kekkai Touta, and Emiko Mido, Chuunin and Medical-Nin of the Kirigakure (both deceased). Many within our village would recognise the name of Kojiro Mido for he had distinguished himself in the service of the Kirigakure. Revered as a highly effective killer amongst his peers, one of the most notorious stories surrounding him was the hunt and disposal of Miyamoto Raiko, an ‘S’ ranked Missing-Nin of our village.

Miyamoto Raiko was a Jounin who had been placed in charge of a newly formed Team 8 at the beginning of this conflict, now known as the Great Shinobi War, the members of which included Emiko Mido. During the course of their first mission together they were betrayed to the Amegakure by Miyamoto Raiko who killed his new team mates and fled towards the Land of Rain. Through petitioning directly to the then Mizukage, Kojiro Mido gained permission to leave immediately and unaided in pursuit of Raiko. The events that transpired in the seven weeks that it took for Kojiro to track down Raiko and return remain a mystery as Kojiro never spoke of them. He was successful in finding Raiko and reported that complete disposal of the body was completed. However from the expression of absolute horror and pain that was frozen onto Raiko’s face when Kojiro returned with his head many believe that the long process for proper disposal of the body took place while Raiko was still breathing.

After returning from this mission Kojiro was a changed man. While never the most open and warm of father figures his relationship with his son, then only 9 years old, became more strained. From the information that I have gathered from those who were close to the family, Kojiro became more distant. Official mission reports state the Kojiro became more slowly became more reckless, exposing himself to unnecessarily dangerous situations. Kojiro has been one of the many casualties claimed by this Great War.

Seemingly following in his late father’s footsteps Katsuro has distinguished himself at the Academy. Like his father before him Katsuro possesses the Ranton Kekkai Touta which, with further training, will make him an extremely effective offensive asset. Katsuro has shown himself a capable practitioner of both Suiton and Raiton Ninjutsu however he has also shown a greater affinity for knife fighting. With more conditioning he could turn out to be an effective Taijutsu practitioner. Katsuro has also shown that he is more than capable of working effectively in a team and seems to be well liked and respected amongst his fellow students.

In conclusion while under less hostile and tense circumstances than we find ourselves in now I would recommend that he be allowed to further hone his skills before throwing him into the heat of battle it is the opinion of this investigator that Katsuro Mido is more than capable of serving in the capacity of Genin to the Kirigakure and further that he be utilised as a long range support or close combat specialist if assigned to a team.

[[KATSURO|MIDO]]

[glow=Red,3,000]Taijutsu[/glow]

UNIVERSAL TAIJUTSU

Shishi Rendan (Lion Combo)
Rank: C
Type: Offensive / Taijutsu
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Special: Due to the nature of the combination, once the first hit connects, the rest usually do. Damage stacks per successful hit.
Description: An effective aerial attack, the user first begins to maneuver to their opponent in a vulnerable aerial position. While shadowing them, the user will attempt to strike them from a vulnerable angle. First, they will strike as a feint in order to draw their target's attention and defense to one area. Then, a true strike is made towards the most undefended area, proceeded by several more until the user violently begins knocking them down and towards the ground. As the enemy falls back to the earth, the user will deftly rotate their body around to deliver a full force kick to their chest.
Domain: Universal Taijutsu.


50EXP

GOKEN

Shoufuu (Rising Wind)
Rank: C
Type: Offensive / Taijutsu
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Special: Sends the victim or item flying up to 5 meters up in the air, plus 1 more each time retrained.
Description: Using their quickness and agility, the user will perform a highly swift upwards kick at their opponent or at a weapon they are wilding, sending either or flying in the air.
Domain: Goken

Kage Buyo (Shadow of the Dancing Leaf)
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary / Taijutsu
Range: -
Special: If used right after the upper kick, user falls perfectly in the opponent's back blind spot.
Description: A combo technique where one follows the opponent, closely matching his or her body's movement, just like a leaf that dances in the air is followed by its shadow. The technique is usually preceded by a swift upper kick that will launch the target into the air. It is mainly used to position an opponent into a vulnerable aerial position
Domain: Goken. 'Shoufuu'.

[[KATSURO|MIDO]]

[glow=Orange,3,000]Ninjutsu[/glow]

RAITON

Hiraishin Kiru (Human Lightning Rod)
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary / Raiton Ninjutsu
Range: Touch
Special: Lightning damage is enhanced by a single rank. Once the victim is struck by lightning, the user is required to re-apply the effects. If the victim is not struck by lightning before they leave the given battle thread, the effects are neutralized and the jutsu must be reapplied.
Description: As the name implies, this simple technique allows the user to alter their internal electric charge temporarily, so that all Raiton chakra subsequently made by the user (as well as natural lightning!) is more susceptible to strike the victim, as well as damage them higher than normal. This alteration usually occurs during some form of contact, where the user’s charged appendage can simple tough, strike or graze the victim and quickly place the effects on them.
Domain: Raiton.

Jakura (Lightning Sparrow Cometh)
Rank: C
Type: Offensive / Raiton Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 10 meters
Special: Up to 5 sparrows can be summoned at a time, plus 5 more each time retrained. Sparrows cause shocking damage, and can result in paralysis if 10 or more strike a victim at once, resulting in up to one whole non-stackable turn. Sparrows fly as fast their normal counterparts do. No other jutsu may be performed while controlling the sparrows.
Description: The Lightning Sparrows Cometh! In the form of bright blue sparrows, these creations fly to wherever the user desires, allowing them to reach and damage places previously deemed impossible. As the user continues to improve their skill in this technique, they can summon more and more sparrows.
Domain: Raiton.

Kyodan Anshu no Jutsu (Electrified Projectile Technique)
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary / Raiton Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Special: Can be used on any projectile or throwing weapon like Senbon or Kunai, or anything that isn’t as big as a main weapon, such as a broadsword or shield.
Description: Considered supplementary because the user can rely on this technique anytime they have a projectile in hand without worrying about handseals, the user concentrates a small amount of Raiton chakra into the metallic weapon, set to disperse whenever said weapon comes in contact with its target. When stuck by an enhanced projectile, the user will receive extra damage, as well as many small shocks. Highly effective against opponents susceptible to lightning in general.
Domain: Raiton.

Denkou Bunshin no Jutsu (Shocking Clone Technique)
Rank: C
Type: Offensive / Raiton Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Special: Clone speed matches that of the user, and can go anywhere the user can. Up to one clone can be made at a time, plus one more each time retrained. Explosion range covers 5 meters.
Description: With this technique, the Raiton user is able to call upon aid from a perfect copy of themselves. Comprised purely of lightning, this clone retains the user movement speed and can share linked mental judgement. Best of all, due to its flowing essence, many solid attacks pass through the clone, shocking instead whatever was used to strike them. Finally, when defeated, the clone explodes into a storm of lightning that aims to take over the nearest opponent available, taking over their body whole as it is shocked.
Domain: Raiton.

175EXP

SUITON

Kirigakure no Jutsu (Hidden Mist Technique)
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary / Suiton Ninjutsu
Range: 0 -10 meters
Special: Fills a large, 10 meter area with mist which lasts 1 turn. Each time retrained, area of mist expands by 10 more meters and 1 extra turn. Mist blocks out all doujutsu requiring clear visibility.
Description: Though very basic, the Hidden Mist Technique allows for the stealthier side of combat to rule. After forming a few simple handseals, the user causes the area surrounding their target to be covered in fog. The low visibility allows the ninja to silently and secretly assassinate their target, as they can move unseen, and if careful, unheard.
Domain: Suiton.

Black Clouds Technique (Kokuun no Jutsu)
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary / Suiton Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Special: Oil automatically raises offensive Katon and Raiton jutsu by a single rank. Highly combustible, it rains down upon the general area of the target, making it easy to create large fires.
Description: One of the many advantages of Suiton is its ability to assist other elements in their power. In this case, the user summons forth flammable oil so that they can use this in conjunction with other jutsu. After forming the necessary hand seals, a black mist will emit from the user’s body and will rise into the sky. In the next turn, black clouds will form, releasing an intense, heavy flammable rain of oil onto one’s targets.
Domain: Suiton.

Suijinheki (Water Encampment Wall)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Defensive / Suiton Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Special: Water barrier blocks attacks of equal rank.
Description: Suijinheki is one of the most impressive Suiton jutsu, and one of the few actually able to defend the user indefinitely from danger. The user will first do a string of hand seals, length varying by rank, and then they proceed to blow out a jet of water from their mouth. This stream moves at high speeds, and after five meters or so from the user, begins to form itself to a size equal and greater to that of the incoming attack, allowing it to act as a water barrier.
Domain: Suiton.

125EXP

SHUNSIN

Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique)
Rank: D [x2]
Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 10 meters
Special: Flickering is forward-moving, meaning the user will rush almost instantly to wherever they are facing. The user can flicker once per thread, plus once more each time retrained.
Description: Shunshin no Jutsu is a basic ninjutsu technique used across the shinobi world by all, ranging from the most basic shinobi to the legends of lore. Considered is a high-speed movement technique, it allows a ninja to move short to long distances at an almost untraceable speed - to an observer, it appears as if the user has teleported. Such a feat is accomplished by using chakra to temporarily vitalise the body and move at extreme speeds they would otherwise be unable to reproduce. In the end, the user will appear and disappear in an instant, allowing them to retreat or attack suddenly should they need it. To facilitate the movement the ninja will often use nearby elements such as mist, sand or leaves to mask their appearance or disappearance.
Domain: Shunshin - Universal Ninjutsu.

Nicely done, Ranton permission granted. However, before accepting, could you bold out the ranks for Water Encampment, and add the amount of Shunshin you trained? I know it's easy to discern by your EXP count, but we're striving for the least amount of confusion here possible.
