Psychology & History
From detailed inspection and investigation by ANBU and medical personnel“This hand of mine glows with an awesome power!”| Personal biography: |
Haitani was fathered by one of the most successful Sarutobi/Jounin to ever grace Konoha, a legacy that Haitani had always been forced to live up to. The youngest child in his family, Haitani was faced with the legacy of his brother Hashi "The Thunderfist", and his sister Haitomi "Lifegiver". In a time before the winter the legacy was not so highly enforced and Haitani was mostly trained by his elder brother due to his parents being poor health. He would only get three more years with his parents before the winter would take them.
During the three years that he got with his parents during the winter, they treated Haitani with such kindness and love in hopes foster his happy personality; to keep the hope alive within him that his brother seemed to lack. Their son would not be an elitist who couldn't hold a conversation without having to prove something to someone. It would also be their deaths that hurt him the most. It never stopped him from achieving and fighting in their name. It took several years before Haitani was truly recognized as an extraordinary shinobi but with three years as a chunin under his belt, he's ready to ascend even higher. The winter won't stop him now.

Combat Reports
From detailed reports from previous missions and academy sparring matches“Its metal grip tells me to defeat you!”| Fighting style: |
A monster in the areas of endurance and stamina, Haitani can fight an hour before finally tiring out. Extensive training in his taijutsu has brought forth his hidden potential as an expert in hand to hand combat. The preferred method of fighting a defensive style that opens up his opponents to his nin-taijutsu. Holds, slams, and locks are a specialty but Haitani is no stranger to aggressive and agile styles of combat to forgo his stalwart style. As side training, Haitani has become extremely proficient at using kunai as daggers.

Kekkei genkai nameSteel Release - Handless Hiden!
DescriptionAllows anyone born with this – a trait that's been foud in the past three generations of Ira's generation, to cover parts, or their whole body in a black metal of varying hardyness depending on the amount of chakra used. The Sarutobi's train using a Hidden Technique to be able to use their release to coat their bodies without the use of handseals, but at a rather steep price in Chakra and physical strain.
StrengthsA master's metal's nigh-indestructible, able to withstand even the sharpest of blades. Tani has taken the liking to using his Steel Release to coat various parts of his body for offense and defense. An expert in steel release, he has crafted many steel jutsu to utilize in conjunction with his taijutsu.
WeaknessesHaitani carries the moniker of defense is your greatest offense which puts him at risk against opponents he must chase. Many issues arise when his opponent dictates the fight instead of the other way around. Another problem being he has no long range jutsu making anyone with the stamina and range able to do damage to him before he could even touch his opponent. Even with the experience he has gathered, Haitani is still only a chunin and prone to make mistakes especially against more experienced shinobi.
His metal is also highly conductive, so lightning or prolonged exposure to fire jutsu are both very useful at defeating him, turning his strengths into weaknesses.

Jutsu name
Steel Release: Piston Breaker
RankA
RangeShort to Mid
DescriptionThe user coats their arm in metal and creates a piston-like attachment around it. Depending on the chakra level of the user and the hardness and durability of the metal, this technique has a variety of uses. When used as a taijutsu measure, the user can punch the opponent with the end of the piston and use their chakra to force a second mechanism into the piston and hit the target with a second, harder impact. Also, if the user hits the ground with the piston, the second blow and cause a miniquake that can result in damage to the surrounding area. However, the piston is usually very heavy, so caution and precise timing must be used when utilizing it.
He can also use the piston to act as a launcher, firing a rock or other objects at the opponent. The objects lose force and power after several feet.
Jutsu name
Steel Release: Blade Warfare
RankB
RangeShort
DescriptionSteel Release: Blade Warfare allows the user to transform his or her arms or legs into strong tempered steel blades. The transformation is almost instantaneous and can be dispelled in a like manner. The blades themselves are the same size as the arm and the point of the sword lies a feel inches above the middle finger when it is fully stretched out. The user can alter the blade in size, width, sharpness, and curvature of the blade. However, the user cannot alter the shape of the blade. It most cases, the blade forms directly below the elbow thus allowing the user to use the elbow joint to move the blade. The user, however, can cause the steel blade to grow closer to the hand. However, this shortens the blades length. The steel blade itself is fairly strong but can be broken by a stronger weapon or jutsu.
This technique does not cure or alter previous injuries or deformities. If the blade itself breaks or chips, it counts as an injury to the user. However, due to the durability and strength of steel compared to flesh, this technique is much useful with countering another sword compared to a bare arm. If the user transforms his or her legs into swords, they are unable to walk or run while in this state. As well, they are unable to hold tools, make hand signs, or grab while their arms are transformed as well. This technique is best used within a high speed fight where the user must activate/deactivate this jutsu quickly.
Jutsu name
Steel Release: Chain Bondage
RankB
RangeShort
DescriptionThe user creates metallic chains underground and then unleashes them towards their target. Depending on what the user wants to do, the chains can bind their target down and lock them in place. Since the chains are part of the steel release, it is incredibly difficult to be released from the chains by force. The user can also tighten the chain around the target, injuring or slowly crushing them.
Jutsu name
Steel Release: Pierce The Heavens
RankB
RangeShort
DescriptionThe user manipulates pre-existing metal around them to form a complex drill over their arm from elbow to finger and a short distance beyond. The drill has different parts that spin at different speeds and in different revolutions. This enables the drill to deal progressive and severe damage upon impact, mostly starting with piercing. This technique is a great assassination and execution technique. It can also break an opponent's guard. The drill can be left not spinning to use as a simple spear. The only downside is that the drill weighs at least thirty pounds, making it somewhat heavy.
Jutsu name
Steel Release: Talons
RankC
RangeShort
DescriptionSimple and effective, this technique forms claw-like razor blades on the inside of the user's fingers. This technique can also be used to catch an enemy off guard, as the blades can easily be concealed underneath the user's hand. The blades can vary in size, from small claws hidden on the inside of the user's fingers, to long talons capable of cleaving through flesh.
Jutsu name
Steel Release: Club
RankC
RangeShort
DescriptionAfter transforming his arms into black steel, Haitani uses his fists like a indestructible and extremely strong club. Focusing his chakra and shaping the steel in his arms, Haitani is able to momentarily change the shape of his arms to take the form of clubs.
Jutsu name
Metal Wall (Formerly Metal Shield)
RankC
RangeSelf
DescriptionA staple jutsu and upgrade from Metal Shield. Haitani creates a layer of black steel to coat his entire body or individual body parts for defense. Whilst coating singular body parts costs little chakra, coating his entire body eats up a considerable amount of chakra and leaves him unable to move.
