---
Known history and secrets: Personality:Clever, manipulative, intelligent and kind. Hiruzen appears to have all the answers, to not be two steps ahead, but ten steps ahead. As a person, he appears to think himself superior, smarter than most others, but yet he rarely let's it be known that he feels this way. His skills in understanding people is virtually unmatched, able to assume a lot about someone from very little information. Keeping something from Hiruzen is very hard, or rather, like a bloodhound, he is able to sniff things out.
Hiruzen is a very convincing person, able to talk people down, and sometimes disarming situations simply by talking. He's not above lying to get his message through.
In combat, he wants to make sure he's always fighting on his terms. That the battle happens in a controlled environment, an environment that he controls.
For someone who's spent the majority of his career talking and learning about the human-mind, he's surprisingly unlucky in romantic endeavors, maybe it's his high-intellect, or his lack of finesse that makes him constantly strike-out.
HistoryHiruzen was born in the Land Of Whirlpools. His parents farmers, uneducated workers. Hiruzen always dreamt of being more than that. To be somebody, somebody smart and useful. He wanted to become a shinobi, someone who helps people. He opted to become a medical shinobi, but after a few months of training, he started to realize he was less interested in the human body, and more so interested in the human mind. He knew that he himself was intellectually off the charts, his teachers had never seen someone consume knowledge like he did, and he wanted to know why he was so different from his classmates.
He stumbled upon psychology, the science based around how people act and react. Why we think and feel like we do. It was a science that broke down human interaction, a concept Hiruzen had quite a lot difficulty understanding, into electrical impulses and facts. He got completely immersed into the study, and while he still kept up with his jutsu practices in the academy, he dropped trying to become a medic and joined the other kids in the academy to become regular shinobi.
He graduated at the age of 11 from the academy, Iwagakure was still young now, Sebaru Markor, the Tsuchikage had just been crowned the head of the village, as previously it had been governed by a council. He continued studying and increasing the knowledge he had regarding human nature and the mind of man. He became an excellent gatherer of intel and spy, as he learned how to manipulate people, how to get through the armor of apathy used by Shinobi.
He became a chunnin at the age of 13, after a tough exam, pushing to to his limits. And at the age of 15 he started his own organization, one that is focused on helping and healing the minds of shinobi that have been hurt by war and their work.
He got renowed for his mentalist abilities and quickly become a diplomat and spy for the Granite Guard. He was taught to fight as a chunnin by the Tsuchikage himself, making his earth-style quite evolved. Now, at the age of 22, the young man is a fully fledged member of the Granite Guard and a Jounin, and has been for the past four years. Yet, Hiruzen is under fire for his unorthodox ways of being a ninja by some, some questioning his legitimacy in the Guard. But most are still sure that the young man is more than capable of being a guardian, and is a valuable asset to the Guard.
Clan: Nothing worth noting.
Dreams and aspirations:To make psychology a well respected, and very used field in the shinobi world. To not only heal the Shinobi's bodies, but also their minds. He wishes for his own organization, The Iwagakure Mental Institution Of Personal Healing, “IMTPH”, to prosper and be supported and trusted by all.
General strengths:Hiruzen is a genius, his IQ being one of the highest ever recorded in Iwagakure, his tests varies, but he lies between 230 – 245 points of IQ.
He is a master of the human psyche, knowing the ins and outs of psychology and given time, can breakdown most to their core.
Hiruzen is largely resistant towards Genjutsu because of how well he understands the human mind, despite not being very skilled in the Genjutsu art himself.
He possesses good chakra control and is fairly skilled at Ninjutsu, even though he is far from a specialist in the field.
General weaknesses:Hiruzen is something of a control freak, which might have a negative effect on people in his surroundings. One could say he is “Eccentric”.
Hiruzen thinks very highly of himself and his intellect, which sometimes might lead to him being blindsided to other people's point of views regarding certain things. He is very focused on the study of the human mind, that he sometimes forgets that people are irrational and do not always make sense.
He is also weaker than the other Guards in the jutsu fields, as he has spent most of his time honing his mind, instead of his body, making him a sub-par combatant to his allies and many have questioned his ability to keep up with the other Granite Guardians.
Combat intel:Known chakra natures: Earth, Wind.
Kekkei Genkei:N/A.
Skill Specialization: Taijutsu:
Hayashi is heavily focused around taijutsu, relying on heavy hits and taking his opponent out as quickly as poossible. He also employs boxing and grappling moves to his arsenal, that combined with his Steel release are quite powerful.

Description:A technique from Hiruzen's youth. Believe it or not, was the technique he won his chunnin-exam fight with.
By kneading wind-chakra in his lungs, he blows an object at an opponent. If a tiny rock, about half the size of his palm is sent flying by the technique at more than twice the speed of a kunai. A rock of said size was in fact what was used, and sent into the face of his unsuspecting opponent, hence earning it's new name " Stink Eye"
Weakness:It's still just a gust, a rather powerful one. But unless it launches something at you, the worst it'll do is put some sand in your eyes, and ruin your hairdo.
