Natori is relatively short standing at a mere 4'8" tall and weighs about 93lbs. On his wait on the left and right are two small guards taking on the appearance of smaller versions of the one held by Gaara, as per Shukaku's advice. These sand gourds are made of and contain special chakra infused sand.

Background: Unlike many Jinchuriki Natori hadn't had the tailed beast sealed into him at birth. Actually, he wouldn't receive the Shukaku until he was roughly 9 years old. Natori was born into a relatively unknown family in the sand village. His parents were hard workers, and they did there best to keep him sheltered, clothed and fed. There life was simple, but they did well. Natori grew up normally, He was happy. He was naively kind and innocent. But that wouldn't last. He remembers it quite vividly. A rogue ninja had infiltrated the villager. He wasn't anyone especially important or powerful, but he was a rogue ninja all the same. It had seemed that he had actually acquired some good intel and was looking for a way out of the village. He had been spotted. There was an alert in the village. Natori had never expected the man to come into his parents shop. He'd demanded that they hide him. When his parents refused, the man grabbed natori's mother.
Natori was only about 4 years old at the time. Due to this he displayed a rather unnerving lack of fear when he charged the man who held his dear mother captive. However, the was in vain. The man easily swung knocking Natori to the side. He'd likely have been killed next had his father not acted. This act would lead to the death of not only his father, but his mother as well. Natori watched it all and knew he was next. At least he should have been. The was when one of the village ninja arrived, quickly dispatching the rogue ninja. However, he was too little too little. The rogue ninja had orphaned Natori and put a heavy amount of fear and distrust in him. He nearly freaked out when the ninja attempted to help him.
Within a few hours Natori was the subject of a meeting between the ninja and the current Kazekage at the time. In all honesty the ninja wasn't quite sure what to do. The Kazekage had no greater plans. Up until this point there had yet to be a problem like this in quite some time. Natori was shaking. He was worried, scared, and a number of other negative emotions. He half expected to be left to fend for himself. It might have been likely had they been in a time of war, but they weren't. This was probably a large part of the reason that the Kazekage offered to take the young man in. It wasn't like he had much to gain or lose. He already had one child who was about 11, but he and his wife had considered another. The problem there was they could not, much to their dismay, and to a small extent the dismay of their current child who wished for a younger sibling. With that there was little more to discuss. Natori went home with the Kazekage and so his new life began.
Within the course of the next few years Natori would begin to get used to his new life. Dealing with the loss of his real parents was tough, but he couldn't say he wasn't loved. However, he was a lot less trusting of those around him. He half expected to be betrayed or hurt by nearly half the people he met. Still in this time he also managed to show a knack for ninja skills. He was pretty damn good in the academy too. He was exceptionally skilled. It was a wonder why his parents hadn't enrolled him earlier. By the time he was 8 he was already a genin in the sand. The kazekage, his adoptive father, was especially intrigued. This was probably one of the reasons he chose Natori as the host for the Shukaku. Essentially, the Shukaku agreed to this choice because he had a better chance of convincing this young man who'd experienced loss to do as he said in his plight to take control away from the humans. Though this thought train had significantly weakened over the years as did his hatred for the species.
In the time between the sealing and now Natori has gained a fair bit of control over over some of the abilities granted to him. He hides a fair bit of resentment towards his "father" for sticking him with the tailed beast seeing it as a chance to push the burden onto the son who did not share his blood. He bares no grudge towards his older brother or surrogate mother. Still now that he can contain the beast and more or less control his basic abilities he has been sent to the Leaf with his brother as his primary escort and little to no chance of accidentally losing control as most village leaders would worry about. Especially when the tailed beast in question is the Shukaku.
Crush (because why not): Nobody as of now.

Jutsu List: Natori is skilled in the use of the basic ninja techniques taught to all young ninja while in the academy. Some notable include, the transformation technique or the clone technique. However, some techniques unique to him include:
- Wind Release: Great Breakthrough - This is a relatively simple technique that creates a sudden gust of wind, but its scale varies greatly depending on the user.
- Armor of Sand - Using this technique, Natori can cover himself in a compacted layer of sand, providing an additional defence should his Shield of Sand fail. Though quite effective, maintaining the armour requires a large amount of chakra and stamina. Furthermore, it is nowhere as resilient as the Shield of Sand, since it easily breaks away upon impact, indicating that the sole purpose of the armour is to absorb impact channelled onto Natori's body during battle. Another weakness is the additional weight of the sand which leads to decreased levels of speed and mobility.
- Sand Clone - This technique is used to create clones in the shape of himself or others using sand as a medium. The clone's form can be changed instantly into sand, and the enemy's body can be trapped.
- Sand Coffin - With his ability to control sand, Natori encases his opponents in a large amount of the special chakra-infused sand kept inside his gourds, immobilising them. It can be used to suffocate an opponent or in preparation for the Sand Burial.
- Sand Burial - After wrapping an opponent with sand with either Sand Coffin or Sand Shower, Natori will cause the sand to implode and crush whatever is within it. When used to kill a person, the death is so quick that there isn't even time for the victim to feel any pain. The pressure also produces a sizeable fountain of blood. Natori can control the pressure used in the attack, which allows him to either break bones or completely liquefy an opponent.
- Shield of Sand - A technique that is unique to Natori. Whenever Natori is about to be harmed, a shield of sand will automatically surround and protect him. The sand will react regardless of Natori's will, even protecting him from self-inflicted injuries. Natori can also change the shape of the shield and its density, to increase both speed and defence.
- Sand bullet - Natori forms a small sphere made of sand and compresses it to increase its hardness. The sphere can strike opponents with such speed and force that it knocks them unconscious. He can also change its trajectory, to strike down multiple targets.
- Sand Shower - After clotting together sand into countless small lumps, Natori uses them to attack an enemy from every direction. Because all the sand lumps are controlled by chakra, it is possible to commence an attack without any blind spots.
- Desert Suspension - It is a trick where Natori uses the chakra-enhanced sand to support his own weight and float in mid-air and to use as a method of transportation if needed. By increasing the size of the platform Natori can transport others along with him or even grant someone else their own platform of sand to fly on. It is a technique that takes relatively little chakra.
