While certainly not lazy, Kenshiro generally goes through life with a calm and relaxed demeanor. Life flows like water and wind and he's content to go along with it. He is quite easy going and enjoys taking plenty of time off when he isn't otherwise occupied. His relaxed outlook makes him quite easy to get along with, and he makes friends with others without much difficulty. In a dangerous situation he does get a lot more serious than normal, but he still is usually calm.

It can seem like Kenshiro lacks ambition and determination, but that isn't entirely correct. He knows that his standing in the Hyuuga clan will never be high up, so isn't concerned with trying to change that. His efforts are instead focused on improving his skills as a shinobi, to make himself a suitable tool for his clan.

Some people are destined for greatness. Those whose names will go down in history, or whispered throughout the heavens. Great men and women who change the flow of the world itself. Kenshiro has known his whole life, that he would not be one of them. As a branch member of the Hyuuga clan, his fate was simple in that he would live, serve his clan, and probably die at some point doing that. Many others in the branch section resented this, being little more than servants to the main, but Kenshiro didn't mind it as much. It was certainly a crap system, and he didn't necessarily like having to take orders, but it really wasn't that terrible. Any orders he'd been given so far had been reasonable (mostly cleaning), and the Hyuuga were still very much respected all throughout the village. Money was rarely an issue, life was comfortable, and Kenshiro knew it.

Knowing one's station in life can provide a lot of comfort and remove much uncertainty. Kenshiro worked to fulfill his role as a branch member of the Hyuuga and as a shinobi of Konohagakure. He found that while he wasn't the most powerful among his peers, he had his own talents, and leaned into them quite well. Strategy and trickery were far more effective for him than hoping to batter the challenges down with force. Along with a few other natural talents with chakra, these all led to Kenshiro graduating the Ninja Academy with decently high marks.

Byakugan - A powerful dojutsu that allows the user to have perfect vision in a nearly 360 degree bubble around them in a certain radius. Along with this, they can see chakra with it active with such accuracy as to allow them to see an opponents chakra tenketsu points and attack them. Kenshiro's radius range of 360 vision is about 10 meters.

Competent Swordsmanship - Kenshiro has learned to use a sword with a reasonable amount of proficiency, but isn't in the same league as a specialist. His amount of skill is more used for defense, and to hide his real specializations.

Tenketsu Expelling - Even for a member of the Hyuuga, Kenshiro has a natural ability to expel his own chakra much more easily than others of his clan would. And in a limited capacity and range, he can still control it to a small extent. Normally the latter ability serves no purpose, but he has found that if he can contain it all within water, he can manipulate it for a very short time. Of course, expelling his own chakra uses it very quickly.

Chakra Control - He is more proficient with chakra control than most of his peers.

Tactics and Strategy - Kenshiro has a lot of talent for strategy in general, and can often come up with an idea to get himself or teammates out of a bind.

Manners and Etiquette - He is still very much a Hyuuga.

✖ ‖ J u t s u

Taijutsu

Gentle Fist Style - A fighting style used by the Hyuuga clan for attacking an opponent's Tenketsu points, blocking their chakra pathways and causing other havoc on their body including damage to their organs.

Chakra Drill - Kenshiro amplifies his arm with a large amount of chakra which behaves similarly to a giant chakra scalpel without the precision, effectively turning his arm into a large blade. It has about an extra foot of range past his normal reach.

Water Release

Water Pistol - The user shoots pressurized water from their mouth at high velocity. It is strong enough to cause minor bone fractures and knock foes off balance. The blasts are small and can be fired rapidly.

Tenketsu Whip - Lashing with a 'whip' made of water, Kenshiro swiftly attacks at chakra points on an opponent from longer range or different angles. It can also be used as a regular whip to trip or lash the target. Currently Kenshiro can only use keep the whip's form for a single attack.

✖ ‖ W e a p o n s A n d T o o l s

Waterskin - A large container of water to assist with water-based techniques.

Short Katana - A Katana that is short enough to easily be wielded with a single hand, but long enough that two-handing is still a valid stance.

Colored Contacts - Kenshiro has a pair of contacts that, while doing affecting vision, disguises the color of his eyes to hide his Byakugan when beneficial.

✖ ‖ F i g h t i n g S t y l e

Kenshiro fights with a combination of Gentle Fist interfused with water jutsu. He both uses traditional ranged water jutsu, and his own variations that he can use along with his gentle fist techniques, such as whips made of the water.

While decent in a straight up fight, Kenshiro is more comfortable when he has clear advantages. He tries to get the drop on his opponents the best he can with strategy and misdirection. Often he will fight with weapons such as swords and kunai to give a false idea of his techniques. Getting into a blade lock with an opponent only to then strike them with Gentle Fist techniques or his Chakra Drill.

______________________________________ Rashiku's eyes widened as Misaki's leg went straight up, surprising and making him wonder what she was doing! Fortunately she was wearing more modest boyshorts under her dress, and the view was very short with her knee hooking down, to more show her prowess with her control of her legs and balance. Even though she made his face mildly red for a second, her movement was certainly impressive. Having Misaki as a teammate seemed like a fine idea, but it would not be fair to Ami. Uzumaki's skills had yet to be seen, but she had earned her graduation along with everyone else. Surely she was capable and would not be denied her place. A few seconds passed by before Rashiku answered, taking half a step back and gently placing his hand on her foot to push it down to rest. He'd seen enough. "Unacceptable. Ami has earned her place and I cannot agree to replace a teammate. But maybe an additio-" "MOLESTER" "..." Eyes widened with narrow pupils, Rashiku looked over to the glorious crab announcer while holding Misaki's ankle, the boy caught entirely off guard with the wind out of his sails, standing there blankly like something had broken and needed to be reset. "H-eh???..." A few blinks later, Rashiku's brain finally started working again and his gaze snapped back and forth between Misaki, Kiyoshi, and Jin. "How far has he... gotten?!?" Misaki could feel Rashiku's hand almost shaky as he stumbled to let go of her ankle, his hand pulling back behind him completely. "N-No! I've done no molesting!" His normal tone that was calm but harsh gave way completely to obviously flustered, and rather panicked yelling as the boy tried to defend himself against such a sudden accusation, going almost completely against the reputation he'd started getting from the other students.	________________ ________________ ________________ ________________ ________________ ________________ ________________ One push is all you'll need A fist-first philosophy We watch with wounded eyes So I hope you recognize I'm on the front line Don't worry I'll be fine The story is just beginning I say goodbye to my weakness So long to the regret And now I see the world through diamond eyes ________________ ________________

______________________________________ At first he'd worried that he had said something that would start a fight from Kiyoshi's reaction. As Kiyoshi jolted and seemed poised to attack, Rashiku had started to tip his chair to try and avoid an incoming strike. Not the most advantageous move, but it was the best he had while sitting down at a desk. Fortunately both boys had managed to stop themselves in the next split second, and a soft 'clack' of the chair leg resettling on the floor echoed through their small vicinity. "Leaf Shinobi are easy to startle." The boy commented as a response, with a hint of both regret and frustration. But it faded quickly as the other genin stated that it was a pleasure to be teamed up. Perhaps he hadn't actually said something off-putting this time. Rashiku listened to Kiyoshi's suggestion for finding their third teammate, and nodded as he stood up to leave. "Yes. Let's go." His eyes scrunched up as soon as they got outside, the sun causing Rashiku to sneeze immediately. He still hadn't gotten entirely used to the brightness of Konoha, with the Mist having had a near constant overcast. Even the smells of the air were different. It could get overwhelming, but at least the scents of the forestry and plants could be pleasant. Or also just cause sneezing. After Rashiku took care of the sniffling, he began looking around, trying to find a girl who wasn't with a team. It didn't take long to spot one up against a tree, and he gently tapped Kiyoshi's arm to signal towards her. Without waiting for confirmation, he approached the girl in the purple skirt and asked her. "Are you Ami Uzumaki?" His eyes were up towards her face, but for a second drifted down to her thighs, only to snap back upwards.	________________ ________________ ________________ ________________ ________________ ________________ ________________ One push is all you'll need A fist-first philosophy We watch with wounded eyes So I hope you recognize I'm on the front line Don't worry I'll be fine The story is just beginning I say goodbye to my weakness So long to the regret And now I see the world through diamond eyes ________________ ________________

______________________________________ The farthest seat to the left in the back is where Rashiku sat, the boy keeping himself out of the way, and where he could see how the class operated. It was far more... undisciplined than he was used to, and when the teacher caught the large kid sleeping, what surprised him wasn't that something was thrown, but rather that it was a 'harmless' chalkboard eraser rather than a kunai. Disrespect to the instructors like that back in the mist would have very likely resulted in a beating with broken bones while the students watched. During his time in the Leaf, Rashiku found that everything worked differently. The test in particular being much softer, with not so much as non-lethal duels between students. Everything he knew told him that this would only result in weakness, yet Konoha was Kiri's strongest military rival. It didn't make any sense. How could they be so strong if they treated their forces so gently? While Rashiku pondered, ultimately finding that he was more curious than disapproving, his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the loud kid in the middle making a weird announcement. Two blinks came from Rashiku, watching the uproar with multiple other students suddenly clamoring for their teacher. Konoha was a very strange village, he thought as he viewed the board to see who he would be teamed up with. 'Ami... A girl's name. And... Kiyoshi. I think that's a guy's.' Wanting to meet his teammates, he got the attention of the student beside him. "Tell me which ones are Ami and Kiyoshi." For some reason the other student recoiled slightly at his words, but pointed out at least where Kiyoshi was, unable to find the other one. Rashiku nodded before he got up and approached Kiyoshi, sitting down beside him in an empty spot and looked his way. "You. Kiyoshi-san. We're teammates. I'm Rashiku Karata."	________________ ________________ ________________ ________________ ________________ ________________ ________________ One push is all you'll need A fist-first philosophy We watch with wounded eyes So I hope you recognize I'm on the front line Don't worry I'll be fine The story is just beginning I say goodbye to my weakness So long to the regret And now I see the world through diamond eyes ________________ ________________

______________________________________ It was good to have a break. The battalion had been moving swiftly through the morning, not just a march, but a rushed trip through the trees in order to get closer to the approaching Sand and Mist forces. This spot however, was just far enough away to where everyone could relax. At least for the moment. Rashiku enjoyed sitting in front of the river as he slowly ate from a prepared bento box.

Karata
The Karata, originally from the mist, focused heavily on the art of swordsmanship. Even more so than many other clans. Jutsu was of course encouraged, but it would be up to each individual clan member as to how he or she would tie it in to their sword style.

While known in the Mist for their prowess with kenjutsu, the Karata had another ability which earned them status within Kirigakure. Their eyes were particularly malleable when it came to chakra and dojutsu. Though lacking abilities on their own, they could be adapted fairly easily to accept the abilities of other known clans. Kirigakure saw an opportunity with this, and attempted to use them to create an all new dojutsu to counter the Leaf's famous Dojutsu clans. After experimentation during the shinobi wars, they were partially successful in mimicking some of the Sharingan, but ultimately considered a failure by the Mist. Despite the Kirigakure command's opinion, the Karata Eye's developed abilities became the pride of the clan, and they continued developing over the generations.

This new Kekkai Genkai however would ultimately be the Clan's downfall, as Kirigakure grew to distrust those with bloodline abilities immensely. The Karata fell during the culling of the clans, with all having been believed to be cut down and left to the crows.

Usually quiet, as he has a tendency to speak more harshly than he intends. Having grown up in the Mist Village, more direct dialogue was the norm, particularly in his clan. Words meant to be as precise and pointed as their blades. He tries to be friendly and gentle most of the time, but when he gets into a fight he is very focused and competitive, aiming to win, for a loss means death. Social situations can be quite difficult, not due to being him shy, but more because of naivete and misinterpreting people's expressions. Often he takes things too literally, and not understanding slang terms most of the time unless they are quite obvious.

A private hobby that he doesn't share much is his talent for drawing. Rather bashful about it, he is skilled enough to easily be a skilled manga artist if his story writing wasn't absolutely terrible.

Living in the Bloody Mist was far from easy. Training was brutal, and most didn't survive. Half alone being eliminated just for the survivors to graduate as genin. Rashiku grew up in this life, with the only difference being that his own clan's fellow genin managed to survive the tests somewhat more often than other clans. His own test taught Rashiku just how quickly battles could go. A battle with a fellow student that specialized in spiked earth jutsu. It was difficult, close, but lasted less than ten seconds. The opening burst forth with a volley of spikes made from the ground. Rashiku managed to parry most of them while running in, but had two of the smaller ones pierced into his shoulder. His opponent tried to bring forth another volley, but Rashiku reached him before he could, slashing his leg. The boy dropped to his knee, keeping his hand seal and completing it, making another spike raise straight out of the ground to spear Rashiku. That would have been it, but his blade was already swinging again downwards. As the spike began to pierce into Rashiku's thigh, his Blade cleaved down into the other boy's skull, ending the duel instantly with the spike losing form. Rashiku limped away, lucky that he didn't have permanent damage to his leg.

Being a genin of the Mist did not last long. Barely a month after his graduation, Kirigakure sent its armed forces to eliminate all clans that possessed Kekkai Genkai. The fires across the village and the outskirts lit the rainy night, while blood stained the soil. Before the Karata could gather their members to escape, explosions rocked the compound. Tags, Bombs, and fire jutsu erupted through the walls, with the Mist forces storming in right after. Even with multiple members of the clan being Jounin, the sheer number of enemies soon turned the scene into a gore-strewn slaughter. Rashiku only survived after his father jumped into multiple kunai laced with tags that had been thrown at the boy. "Run..." With a final look to his son, Ransu tackled the thrower and pressed them both into the back wall, exploding and creating an opening. The hardest part was going through the hole in the wall, covered in blood and pieces of his father, but with the other ways all leading to more screams of battle and death, the boy ran out and escaped into the night.

For the entire night, Rashiku ran, avoiding the armies as he tried to reach the border. Using his chakra sensing abilities to stay away from any other signatures. As he reached the forest border, he couldn't keep his sensing up any further, his chakra exhausted. And moments after that, a group of shinobi dropped down infront of him, weapons at the ready. The boy attempted to fight them, but he was defeated very quickly and knocked unconscious. Upon awakening, he found himself bound to a tree, with four people infront of him. "He's awake..." Getting an easier look, he could see that their uniforms were not of the Kirigakure army. It became clear that they were scouts of another group as they questioned him, asking what had happened in Kirigakure and why the army had mobilized against its citizens. Truthfully he didn't know much, but he saw no reason to lie at this point and told them of the attack on his clan, and others from what he could see. Certain clans were targeted, though as to why, he was unsure.

He fully expected to be killed by these scouts, once they had what they wished to know. But instead, the leader of them asked if he would be going back to the village. Rashiku adamantly said no, that he would probably try to hide elsewhere, never to return. At hearing that, the scout group discussed among themselves, before offering him sanctuary within the Leaf Village instead. For a moment his first instinct was to decline, with Konoha having been labeled as his enemy, but the thought soon turned around. Kirigakure was his enemy now, who destroyed his clan and family. And Konoha was their most hated enemy. The boy nodded and agreed, telling them that he'd join Konoha and their shinobi force.

✖ ‖ K e k k e i G e n k a i

Karata Eye - The Karata clan naturally has a strong affinity towards dojutsu, and when the clan was still in high status in Kirigakure, they attempted to create a power which could rival or surpass the Sharingan of the Konoha's Uchiha. The end result was that they were unable to replicate the hidden powers of the higher sharingan, but instead were able to surpass it in the use of perception.

A user can put chakra into his eyes and focus on everything he perceives, and also slow down all of his senses. This technique makes the world seem like it is moving in slow motion, allowing him to react as efficiently as possible to whatever situation he notices. However, even if he can see and hear, or smell what is happening, this ability does not increase his bodily speed. If an attack is fast enough, he will still see it coming, but may not have time to effectively avoid it.

The Karata Eye also provides the ability to sense chakra upon focusing, along with the strength of the signature. The perception even can detect chakra through solid objects like a wall. It cannot differentiate between specific chakra signatures, or the element of the chakra. It can only sense the presence of, and how powerful it is. Though, the user can sometimes guess a specific person by recognizing their exact chakra strength. But only if they know said person well.
This makes it very difficult for enemies to sneak up on a user of Karata Eye, as even non-shinobi have weak signatures the give their position away. While this jutsu is active, the user's eyes glow an intense, bright blue, like their normal color except as if neon. This makes a user very easy to spot if he tries to use it while sneaking.

While Rashiku has not learned how to do this yet, some of his fellow clan members had developed further additions. Such as nightvision, thermal, and others.

Swordsmanship - Rashiku is quite skilled with bladed weaponry. Particularly in the sword arts that originate from his clan.

Dexterity and Precise Movements - Highly skilled control of one's own body is one of the main methods taught in Karata swordsmanship, as the slightest shift of angle is the difference between a blow parried, and one that gets through one's guard and sinks into their shoulder. Rashiku has a lot of precise control over where he wishes to move, quickly, stopping right where he wants to. It also extends to acrobatics, but usually he prefers to stay on the ground.

Self-training - He is able to teach himself techniques very proficiently. He almost works best this way, provided he has the necessary tools and instructions to learn.

Drawing - Rashiku could potentially make a successful alternate career out of drawing manga if his story-writing abilities were any good. He frequently draws in secret, with varying amounts of ecchi.

Basic Jutsu

Hider

Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique)

Rashiku can do this jutsu with a one-handed seal.

Raiton | Lightning Nature

Hider

Raite no Jutsu (Hands of Thunder Technique)
Makes a sudden burst of electricity that is expelled onto the next item touched. Normally, this is used to give someone an extra shock along with a punch to the face.
The technique has enough power to knock most opponents unconscious, but is rarely lethal.

Taijutsu and Kenjutsu

Hider

Jiki-uchi (Opportunity Strike)
A focusing technique for determining the best place to strike at after an opponent creates an opening in their defense. Can only be used while the opponent is attacking and their strikes are being dodged (not blocked) within striking range.

Kenjutsu: Iaido (Sword Art: Iaido)
The user performs a slash after quickly drawing his sword,a maneuver using momentum to gain power named Iaido and the basics of the iaijutsu style.

Karata no Ken no Sutansu - Attouteki na Kougeki (Karata Sword Stance - Overpowering Assault)
A extremely aggressive stance taught in the Karata family. Mostly for use against other weapon-users, the strikes that come from this stance are designed to overwhelm the opponent with continuous hard strikes, designed to break through the enemy's guard or just cleave through them.
The form uses sword swings that have a lot of momentum, so every strike has some pull back (the user bringing back the weapon further to get more power in the swing), leaving the user open to counter-attack quite often, at least until the speed picks up enough where getting a strike in becomes very difficult.
What makes the technique successful, is the increasing furiosity in which the strikes are delivered. Every hit seems to have the force of a battering ram behind it, throwing opponents off balance and making them difficult to keep guarding against. Another intimidating factor is that each strike is designed to flow into the next, making the attacks just a continuous, overwhelming assault, getting faster the longer it goes, which is where it gets its name.

Karata no Ken no Sutansu - Kanpekina ito Tekina Ugoki (Karata Sword Stance - Flawless Deliberate Movement)
This is the main Stance used in the Karata clan as it tends to be the most useful in majority of combat situations. The stance focuses on the user making many, short, quick, and most of all, tactical, movements. In this state every move is meant to serve a purpose, and put the user into an advantageous position. Most of the time this involves quick sidesteps, dodging attacks in a way that puts an opponent off balance, and the very occasional spin in order to rotate around the target.
The concept also goes into the attacks made in this state as well. Each strike is supposed to serve a purpose, either to strike at an opening, or to create one.

Aotsume - Blue Talon - Rashiku uses a sword with two blades going the same direction. Meant for easier deflection of projectiles, along with harsher wounds inflicted on enemies. This makes the sword noticeably heavier than a standard one of equal size. The length puts it just above the classification of Katana and into Odachi, the blade in total being three and a half feet long.

Rashiku also uses Kunai for ranged attacks, sometimes employing explosive tags along with them. More frequently, he uses flash tags as a distraction and cover for his movements, as he doesn't like using the truly explosive ones. While he doesn't enjoy the blasts, their destructive power and applications cannot be ignored.

Rashiku's fighting style focuses on speed, tactics, and getting in a strike at the perfect opportunity. He is forward and aggressive, but also defensive in the aggression. That means he will attack in order to make the opponent attack, giving him an opportunity for them to make a mistake for him to counter.

Most of his abilities focus on the excellent use of swordsmanship. Body Flicker technique helps a lot with evasive maneuvering and getting in a strike where his opponent doesn't suspect it. While Rashiku specializes in close-combat, he knows very well how to use kunai to his advantage.

Karata
The Karata, originally from the mist, focused heavily on the art of swordsmanship. Even more so than many other clans. Jutsu was of course encouraged, but it would be up to each individual clan member as to how he or she would tie it in to their sword style.

While known in the Mist for their prowess with kenjutsu, the Karata had another ability which earned them status within Kirigakure. Their eyes were particularly malleable when it came to chakra and dojutsu. Though lacking abilities on their own, they could be adapted fairly easily to accept the abilities of other known clans. Kirigakure saw an opportunity with this, and attempted to use them to create an all new dojutsu to counter the Leaf's famous Dojutsu clans. After experimentation during the shinobi wars, they were partially successful in mimicking some of the Sharingan, but ultimately considered a failure by the Mist. Despite the Kirigakure command's opinion, the Karata Eye's developed abilities became the pride of the clan, and they continued developing over the generations.

This new Kekkai Genkai however would ultimately be the Clan's downfall, as Kirigakure grew to distrust those with bloodline abilities immensely. The Karata fell during the culling of the clans, with all having been believed to be cut down and left to the crows.

Usually quiet, as he has a tendency to speak more harshly than he intends. Having grown up in the Mist Village, more direct dialogue was the norm, particularly in his clan. Words meant to be as precise and pointed as their blades. He tries to be friendly and gentle most of the time, but when he gets into a fight he is very focused and competitive, aiming to win, for a loss means death. Social situations can be quite difficult, not due to being him shy, but more because of naivete and misinterpreting people's expressions. Often he takes things too literally, and not understanding slang terms most of the time unless they are quite obvious.

A private hobby that he doesn't share much is his talent for drawing. Rather bashful about it, he is skilled enough to easily be a skilled manga artist if his story writing wasn't absolutely terrible.

Living in the Bloody Mist was far from easy. Training was brutal, and most didn't survive. Half alone being eliminated just for the survivors to graduate as genin. Rashiku grew up in this life, with the only difference being that his own clan's fellow genin managed to survive the tests somewhat more often than other clans. His own test taught Rashiku just how quickly battles could go. A battle with a fellow student that specialized in spiked earth jutsu. It was difficult, close, but lasted less than ten seconds. The opening burst forth with a volley of spikes made from the ground. Rashiku managed to parry most of them while running in, but had two of the smaller ones pierced into his shoulder. His opponent tried to bring forth another volley, but Rashiku reached him before he could, slashing his leg. The boy dropped to his knee, keeping his hand seal and completing it, making another spike raise straight out of the ground to spear Rashiku. That would have been it, but his blade was already swinging again downwards. As the spike began to pierce into Rashiku's thigh, his Blade cleaved down into the other boy's skull, ending the duel instantly with the spike losing form. Rashiku limped away, lucky that he didn't have permanent damage to his leg.

Being a genin of the Mist did not last long. Barely a month after his graduation, Kirigakure sent its armed forces to eliminate all clans that possessed Kekkai Genkai. The fires across the village and the outskirts lit the rainy night, while blood stained the soil. Before the Karata could gather their members to escape, explosions rocked the compound. Tags, Bombs, and fire jutsu erupted through the walls, with the Mist forces storming in right after. Even with multiple members of the clan being Jounin, the sheer number of enemies soon turned the scene into a gore-strewn slaughter. Rashiku only survived after his father jumped into multiple kunai laced with tags that had been thrown at the boy. "Run..." With a final look to his son, Ransu tackled the thrower and pressed them both into the back wall, exploding and creating an opening. The hardest part was going through the hole in the wall, covered in blood and pieces of his father, but with the other ways all leading to more screams of battle and death, the boy ran out and escaped into the night.

For the entire night, Rashiku ran, avoiding the armies as he tried to reach the border. Using his chakra sensing abilities to stay away from any other signatures. As he reached the forest border, he couldn't keep his sensing up any further, his chakra exhausted. And moments after that, a group of shinobi dropped down infront of him, weapons at the ready. The boy attempted to fight them, but he was defeated very quickly and knocked unconscious. Upon awakening, he found himself bound to a tree, with four people infront of him. "He's awake..." Getting an easier look, he could see that their uniforms were not of the Kirigakure army. It became clear that they were scouts of another group as they questioned him, asking what had happened in Kirigakure that the army had mobilized against its citizens. Truthfully he didn't know much, but he saw no reason to lie at this point, and told him of the attack on his clan, and others from what he could see. Certain clans were targeted, though as to why, he was unsure.

He fully expected to be killed by these scouts, once they had what they wished to know. But instead, the leader of them asked if he would be going back to the village. Rashiku adamantly said no, that he would probably try to hide elsewhere, never to return. At hearing that, the scout group discussed among themselves, before offering him sanctuary within the Leaf Village instead. For a moment his first instinct was to decline, with Konoha having been labeled as his enemy, but the thought soon turned around. Kirigakure was his enemy now, who destroyed his clan and family. And Konoha was their most hated enemy. The boy nodded and agreed, telling them that he'd join Konoha and their shinobi force.

Karata Eye - The Karata clan naturally has a strong affinity towards dojutsu, and when the clan was still in high status in Kirigakure, they attempted to create a power which could rival or surpass the Sharingan of the Konoha's Uchiha. The end result was that they were unable to replicate the hidden powers of the higher sharingan, but instead were able to surpass it in the use of perception.

A user can put chakra into his eyes and focus on everything he perceives, and also slow down all of his senses. This technique makes the world seem like it is moving in slow motion, allowing him to react as efficiently as possible to whatever situation he notices. However, even if he can see and hear, or smell what is happening, this ability does not increase his bodily speed. If an attack is fast enough, he will still see it coming, but may not have time to effectively avoid it.

The Karata Eye also provides the ability to sense chakra upon focusing, along with the strength of the signature. The perception even can detect chakra through solid objects like a wall. It cannot differentiate between specific chakra signatures, or the element of the chakra. It can only sense the presence of, and how powerful it is. Though, the user can sometimes guess a specific person by recognizing their exact chakra strength. But only if they know said person well.
This makes it very difficult for enemies to sneak up on a user of Karata Eye, as even non-shinobi have weak signatures the give their position away. While this jutsu is active, the user's eyes glow an intense, bright blue, like their normal color except as if neon. This makes a user very easy to spot if he tries to use it while sneaking.

While Rashiku has not learned how to do this yet, some of his fellow clan members had developed further additions. Such as nightvision, thermal, and others.
