(mitarashi) yaira 15 village: konohagakure. rank: genin. chakra affinity: water. -- ninjutsu: b (most are mid-range to long-range) genjutsu: c taijutsu: c --SPECIALTY: chakra manipulation. SUB: traps. TOOL: razor wire, water containment scroll. -- bio: typical asian face, squinty eyes and black upswept hair. wears a grey male chang pao with blue sash and black pants. his appearance is deceiving, making people think that his specialty is taijutsu. he capitalizes on that by imitating the pose of a monk, hands tucked in his large sleeves or folded behind his back, sometimes even taking on a vague taijutsu pose; his chakra is not all that it appears to be, either, having the skill necessary for chakra capacity for manipulation. he was a mid to long-ranged specialist.
yaira doesn't have much of an elaborate past, really. his clan wasn't a big deal like the hyuugas or the uchihas. short on cash, they didn't have the means to take care of him so they gave him up to the orphanage. at the age of four, he soon knew who they were and where they lived (surprising for someone not yet old enough for the academy), but he didn't put much effort into seeking them out and finding out why. he already had an idea of why they gave him up and didn't blame them for it. they don't look for him, either, and yaira was perfectly fine with that. although, with no money of his own, he was forced to steal/pickpocket. the orphanage fed him and clothed him with hand-me-downs, of course, but they were never given the luxuries that yaira would crave on occasion.
he one day pick-pocketed the wrong jounin, however, and was caught and further bullied for his actions. this jounin's name was one mitarashi anko. whenever the temperamental (read: crazy) woman came about he would make it his mission to try to steal from her wallet. he'd been caught every time, unsurprisingly.
to further annoy the woman when people asked if they were siblings, he'd replaced his last name and taken on hers. it would only make sense. she didn't seem to have a family of her own anyway, so might as well self-make himself into a relative of hers. he hasn't officially moved in to live with her. like him, anko preferred her space and he understood that as well, but he did pay her enough visits for the woman to realize he wasn't going anywhere. they were not in any relationship, either, nothing like 'friends-with-benefits,' but if anko happened to pass on some teachings of her own, who's to say anyone needed to find out what he paid her in return?
The night before had been terrible for Keita. Not only because he was nervous about the next day but he was worried. Despite having flawlessly passed the practical exam to become a genin, he was worried that maybe he wasn't quite as ready to face the real world as he originally thought he would be. What if he messed up? What if he failed his team? What if he.. what if he died? The only thing he could have done was tell his wild thoughts to get a hold of itself and force himself to sleep. The next day the sound of birds were what had broken him from his troubled slumber. It had been nearly 2am when he had finally managed to force his thoughts under control long enough for him to get a modicum of rest, but he still didn't feel like he'd gotten enough.
There was a knock on his door: "Keita-sama. It is time to wake up. Your team assignment is today," the sound of one the resident maids came through the door.
"Coming," he mumbled, but he was sure the woman heard him for she knocked and said no more. The walls were paper thin in the traditional home, after all. Keita forced himself out of bed and got ready. Brushing his teeth woke him to at least a semi-normal state of awareness. Once dressed, he headed for the kitchen where the time was on the wall. It was still early so he could afford to sit down and have breakfast. However, Keita didn't like to. Morning meals meant sitting with his parents and that also meant he had to interact with them. Don't get him wrong, he loved his mother, but his relationship was somewhat strained with that of his dad. Their conversations with each other tended to be short and clipped, and despite his mother's best efforts, the routine could never change.
As was expected, his parents were already at the table. He kissed his mother's cheek in greeting, earning him a smile. "Good morning, Mother," he told her and sat beside her before nodding at his dad who sat at the head of the table, "Father."
"Good morning, sweetie."
His father's answer was a noncommittal grunt.
Nothing more was said and only the clinking of dishes filled the void of silence that had filled the dining area. His mother cleared her throat when it got to be too much for her. "So, dear, today is your team assignment. Are you excited?"
"Delighted," he mumbled, sarcastically.
"Oh, I am sure it is not so bad," she reassured, while sending meaningful glances at her husband. Ryuusei said nothing, however. She sighed.
"It might not be," Keita mumbled, ignoring his dad as he spread jam and cream cheese onto his toast. He shook his head and set the knife down. "I'm probably over-reacting."
Meta smiled and reached over to pet his head, something that generally annoyed him because it made him feel like a child, but today was different. He needed the soothing touch. "It's fine, dear. It's normal to be nervous on the first day. You're a genin now and you will be given lots of responsibilities, but nothing you have not done before. I know you will surpass even your own expectations." She paused. "I know your sister would have been proud."
Keita felt a small bubble of pride in his chest at her words. He smiled. "Thank you, Mother."
Breakfast was finished quickly and the two maids came in to clear the table as Keita stood up to go to his room and gather up his gear. He paused as he reached for his sister's scroll. Would he need it? He doubted it. They were only meeting their jounin-sensei today, but one could never be too sure. But he also didn't have space and unless they were going on a mission outside of the gates he didn't want to have to take a whole backpack with him in order to conceal its presence. In the end, he left it. Hopefully, he wouldn't regret it. He left his room, fully geared and headed for the front door. Before he could, however, his father's voice stopped him:
"Keita."
He looked back to see the man standing at the opening of the hall.
Keita raised his eyebrow, though he remembered to remain respectful. "Yes, father?"
Blue eyes watched him for a moment, then inclining his head said, "...Good luck."
The well wish was short, but in those two words, Keita felt there was so much more being said. He smiled minimally and bowed.
"Thanks."
Despite his aloof appearance, Keita was quite excited as much as he was impatient in his seat. He did not suffer restless leg syndrome nor did he shift around like the other kids in the classroom while waiting for his name to be called, but it was something close. The hairs on his arm pointing sky high belied his otherwise calm demeanor. Keita was a friendly person. And as such, he had lots of friends to choose from, others he spoke with as just acquaintances, and still some he only saw on occasion. Momo Sakurai who sat at the window was of those he spoke to rarely but she did seem nice if a bit eccentric. He didn't see Rima. Perhaps he was running late? Overall, he didn't think he would be put on a bad team and could only hope he did his best to not hold them back.
Closing his eyes, he allowed himself to meditate. Getting all jumpy now wouldn't make the instructor's role calling move any faster, so he preoccupied himself by talking amicably with his friends until one by one, they all were assigned and he was left with others he didn’t otherwise know. But he wasn’t bothered. Talking helped him to focus and pretty soon he was over being nervous. Whatever happens, happens, he could do nothing to change that and so he resigned himself to knowing that he would just do his best. He had worked hard for this day. There was no reason to believe he would fail. He imagined his sister sitting up front with the instructor, possibly cajoling her into letting him be on a good team. She looked up and a smile appeared on her pale features, an encouraging one that told him he could do it.
Clan/Bloodline: Ryuukaze Rank: Genin Chakra Nature: Fire --Sub: Wind
Appearance: tall, nice, and very handsome, keita was pale with grey eyes that leaned more toward silver (not white like the hyuugas because he has a pupil). his hair was tied a in a high ponytail that reached a little under his shoulders, bangs falling in front of his eyes. wears a dark teal jacket with long sleeves and open collar over a black shirt. the jacket has the symbol of his clan on its back in dark gold: the front profile of a dragon's head with its mouth wide open and surrounded by open lotus petals. Wears black pants that reaches past his knees, black, customary ninja sandals, and black, fingerless gloves featuring Konoha's village symbol on the metal guards on the back of his hands. a snarling fox mask with red and yellow markings, a gift from his sister, is tied at his hip.
Personal Information:
Personality: Keita is a relatively nice guy with a soft-spoken personality unless completely riled or angry (which was seen rarely). There was a maturity to him that was not seen in most children his age. Of course, being raised in a clan that looked down on childish displays could have been a part of that. Before his sister died, he was a child full of innocence and was very outspoken, but now he analyzed his actions before doing them. One couldn't guess it, but he also had a silvertongue, used mostly to get himself or his friends out of trouble. He also had a teasing quality to him that made others smile.
History:
Despite their name, the Ryuukaze clan was made mostly of fire users.
Keita was not the firstborn heir of the Ryuukaze clan. Rather, his older sister, Amami, was destined to be the Ryuukaze head female. Usually not seen in a clan, the Ryuukaze clan judged a clan heir's children based solely on their strength and wisdom. Sadly, she was born frail and sickly (she had such little chakra and was very pale and could not stay in the sun for very long), they did not think she was likely to live for very long; she was not favorably seen as someone who could lead the clan with strength if she had none to spare. Therefore, when Keita was born, the burden was placed on his shoulders. He was taught basically everything he had to know in order to one day take over as clan head.
Since he was chosen as the next heir, Amami was basically forgotten by everyone but her baby brother. Amami did everything she could to take care of him while their parents remained unaware (besides, Meta; Meta noticed everything and she did not agree with just abandoning her daughter because she was weak, but there was nothing she could do as she had been blamed for Amami's health). Amami was a role model for Keita. Despite having been practically thrown aside, she loved her brother dearly. In fact, she was the sole reason why he had not grown to hate his family. She taught him to love and forgive, and though he did not fully believe in her ideals, he didn't hate, but neither did he try his best to get close to any of his relatives besides his mother. Amami worked as hard as she could to get to her position as chuunin instructor in the Academy. She was not strong, but she was smart. She became a brilliant strategist as well as someone who had complete control of and could successfully reserve and make good use of her chakra. In fact, she created two scrolls: one that contained her chakra, chakra that she'd been storing for years, and can be used whenever necessary to restore his reserves. How she was able to do this was a mystery as there were not many seal masters who could successfully decipher the seal characters on the scrolls, but it did explain why she was always tired whenever he sought her out. The other was a complete mystery.
He listened as closely as he could to everything that she told him and practiced hard with the clan's jutsu. When he couldn't completely understand or do a jutsu right, Amami was there to help him, to guide him step by step. Especially when he'd learned that not only did he have a fire affinity but wind as well. Amami taught him a little of how to use that wind chakra, but since the clan was made mostly of fire users, Amami did not know much. When he was out of line and received corporal punishment (which was a 5 lash whipping), she would come to his room and soothe his wounds with salves that she made herself. She would help him with homework; she would play with him; she would take him out to dinners as rewards for passing his tests. That's why when news of her death returned one day, Keita was devastated. He became quiet and reserved and sequestered himself to his room for days. The light of his life had been snuffed out and there was nothing Keita wanted to do with the world. He didn't eat nor did he bathe, as deep into his grieving as he was.
One day, Keita emerged from the darkness of his room. He claimed that he had had a dream of his sister approaching him. She'd slapped him and said, "This isn't how I want you to live, Keita. Just because I died doesn't mean you get to use it as an excuse to become lazy. You've worked too hard to just throw it all away. Please don't let me be disappointed in you." Since then, there had been a quiet strength growing within Keita. Seeing this, Ryuusei, Keita's father, became ashamed of himself. He asked for his son's forgiveness, of which Keita was hard-pressed to give the man. As much as he had been the one to teach Keita much of what he knew, he still did nothing to refute the elder's decisions to abandon Amami and ignored a lot of her accomplishments. Still, Amami's words were clear, and Keita slowly begun to forgive the man. He was the age of 12 during then. To this day, he was still trying. Their relationship was strained at best but at least Ryuusei never used harsh words on his son again. Keita was sad that Amami was not there to see him at his graduate day, but at least he was comforted by the fact that she played a big part in his tutelage and he hadn't let her down.
To this day, he doesn't know whether it was a hallucination brought up by his grief and his inner psyche not wanting to further wither in despair or his dead sister come to his dreams to snap him out of it but he was grateful.
Theme Song: --
Weapons/Items:
Standard: kunai shuriken ninja wire explosive tags 2 small sealing scrolls first aid kit
Name of Weapon or Item:Fuma Shuriken Description: I suppose the name of the shuriken came from the way the weapon would cut through the wind, creating a shrieking sound not unlike the sounds of the damned... Or it's just, you know, a really sharp weapon. o.o
Name of Weapon or Item: War Fan Descrition: A weapon used mostly for his wind attacks, Keita generally prefers more to use his Windmill Shuriken, but will use this fan to generate more power into his fire jutsu. Appearance: The guards of the fan are made of iron as well as its inner spokes, the slips of the fan are a dark navy color with the design of a dragon breathing a fireball outlined in gold.
Name of Weapon or Item: Amami's Scroll #1 Description: Left behind by his sister, this scroll was given to Keita when Amami died. It used to replenish his chakra reserves. Also allows him to store his own chakra whenever he wants and there doesn't seem to be a limit to how much he can store. Can only be used by him. Appearance:here. the wrap is red, however, and the dowels, handles, are a dark mahogany.
Special Traits: -well, his clan's good at candle making and other festival things like firecrackers, fireworks... so he likes.. candle-making...? -very mature -polite and courteous -silvertongue -teasing quality -great observational skills -quick learner, and if not, a hard worker -especially patient -improviser
Kekkei Genkai: None, although... Traits/Abilities of Kekkei Genkai: ...Amami had been known to stop someone in their tracksfrom her gaze alone. Of course, due to her sickness, her eyes were unnaturally red, but whether this was the cause was uncertain. This trait has yet been seen in Keita, although his strange eye color is enough for a short pause. Buuuuuut, this is just conjecture. :)
Jutsu: Canon Jutsu:
Kawarimi - Body Replacement Ninjutsu, E-Rank Range: - Seals: 5. Ram, Boar, Ox, Dog, Snake. Description: User replaces their own body with some other object, generally with a block of wood, the moment an attack lands. This creates an optical illusion, making the enemy think the attack was successful. From this, the user can use the lapse in the enemy's attention to attack or flee from the battlefield.
Bunshin - Clone Ninjutsu, E-Rank Range: short to mid-range Seals: 4. Tiger, Boar, Ox, Dog. Description: This technique creates intangible copies of the user. The clones are simply illusions and will dissipate when they come into contact with something. The illusions can be seen through by the Byakugan and the Sharingan. A person with normal eyes can also distinguish the clones from the original, since the clones will not disrupt the area around themselves with their movement (won't kick up dust, crush grass, etc.).
Henge - Transformation Ninjutsu, E-Rank Range: - Seals: 1. Reverse Ram. Description: This jutsu allows the user to transform either themselves or another object into the appearance of another person, animal, or object. The transformation technique is considered to be among the more difficult E-ranked techniques, since it requires constant emission of chakra while mentally maintaining the form. The user would be, most likely, interacting with the environment. This puts much mental strain on an inexperienced ninja.The transformation would be dispelled when the user is injured or hit.
Fire Release: Hot Wax Surface Technique ninjutsu, c-rank mid-range fire nature. seals: 3, dog, dragon, tiger. Description: Molding chakra to the candle wax, Keita uses it to expand the amount of wax there is. For instance, a four-inch candle can make a puddle of up to 3m if molded and expanded by chakra correctly. The wax is hot and can easily burn the surface of an enemy's skin. Much like the Syrup Capture Field, the user spreads the wax on the ground but can be thrown at an opponent, causing burning and unrelenting damage and making it difficult to move due to pain. Once the wax dries, the enemy can try to break free before the user melts the wax again with another fire technique.
*Note: -can be easily dodged -water users can counteract the burn -a more advanced version can cause serious damage, enough to melt off skin
Fire Release: Dragon Flare Blitz Technique ninjutsu, d-rank short to mid-range fire nature. seals: 3, tiger, boar, ram. Description: Like firecrackers, the user releases little bombs from their mouths that explodes upon contact with the ground. The flashing lights can blind the enemy for a few seconds, allowing the user escape or a surprise attack.
*Note: -shades can mitigate the effect -cannot be used when the ground is wet -a very loud attack that can draw attention -can be used with explosive tags under the cover of the explosive sounds
Name: Yaira (Mitarashi) Gender: male Age and date of birth: 15 / 19-May-1999 Sexuality: straight. Height: 5'6" / 171cm. Weight: 55.34kg / 123lbs.

.::Character Appearance::.
Appearance: typical asian face, squinty eyes and black upswept hair; wears a grey male chang pao with a navy blue sash and black pants that reaches a just little below knee-length. Left ear has a piercing: a single, thin iron string; headband is loosely tied around his neck, the cloth black to match his pants, the black, fingerless gloves on his hands, reaching just before touching his elbows, and the black, customary sandals required by all ninjas to wear. His appearance is deceiving in this, making people think that his specialty is taijutsu. He capitalizes on that by imitating the pose of a monk, hands tucked in his large sleeves or folded behind his back, sometimes even taking on a vague taijutsu pose. Within the folds of sleeves or the top portion of his outfit lies a water containment scroll that he [might've] stolen from a certain jounin's apartment (more on that in history).
.::Personal Information:::.
Personality: all-around deceitful, yaira is someone who likes his personal space. he's not very socially active and that would explain why some of his peers would see him as stuck-up. which is kind of true in a sense but not to the extent that he sees everyone below him. he basically just doesn't like people unless he has a vested interest in their use to him (which can mean anything from free meals to sex, though that particular bargain has not happened, but he is not above putting that as an end reward). sometimes flirty, yaira doesn't push a female to the point where they feel harassed, threatened, or annoyed, but he does appreciate the sight of them if they're attractive enough. he is a practiced pickpocket, however, so watch yer wallets or you'll be finding yerself short on more than just change; hates having to owe anyone and it wouldn't be unusual to find him at a store indulging on free samples. usually when asked for a favor, he always wants something in return. nothing in life is ever free, after all. and he just as likely hates having to return favors to anyone.
History: yaira doesn't have much of an elaborate past, really. his clan wasn't a big deal like the hyuugas or the uchihas. short on cash, they didn't have the means to take care of him so they gave him up to the orphanage. at the age of four, he soon knew who they were and where they lived (surprising for someone not yet old enough for the academy), but he didn't put much effort into seeking them out and finding out why. he already had an idea of why they gave him up and didn't blame them for it. they don't look for him, either, and yaira was perfectly fine with that (which begs the question: was he an illegitimate child or was the family truly simply too poor and ashamed to face him?). although, with no money of his own, he was forced to steal/pickpocket. the orphanage fed him and clothed him with hand-me-downs, of course, but they were never given the luxuries that yaira would crave on occasion.
he one day pick-pocketed the wrong jounin, however, and was caught and further bullied for his actions. this jounin's name was one mitarashi anko. it's safe to say, yaira was properly punished for his mistake but did he learn from it? of course not! whenever the temperamental (read: crazy) woman came about he would make it his mission to try to steal from her wallet. he'd been caught every time, unsurprisingly. was he crazy? maybe. did he like the challenge? yes. soon after the two formed a sort of close-knit relationship, though anko wasn't very pleased to find out that she'd made it onto the boy's small list of friends. and by small, meaning she was the only human being he truly interacted with for more than just a means to an end. and would it be any wonder if the two were thought to be siblings? along with his standoffish personality, yaira seemed to have developed a rather sadistic side as well, much like Konoha's resident purple-haired dango-enthusiast.
to further annoy the woman when people asked if they were siblings when seen together, he'd replaced his last name and taken on hers. it would only make sense to him because she didn't seem to have a family of her own anyway, so might as well self-make himself into a relative of hers. nothing permanent or anything like that. officially, his surname is taeru but usually when taking written tests, he would put his last name as mitarashi, which would then result in the woman being questioned by colleagues if she had a brother no one knew about. he hasn't officially moved in to live with her. like him, anko preferred her space and he understood that as well, but he did pay her enough visits for the woman to realize he wasn't going anywhere anytime soon. they were not in any relationship, nothing like 'friends-with-benefits,' but if anko happened to pass on some teachings of her own, who's to say anyone needed to find out what he paid her in return?
he's mostly joined the academy to earn himself extra cash when he became a genin. it was usually the route orphans like him took, but in his case he didn't do it for the fame. he had a rather childish awe of the ninjas capable of walking on walls and even, once, seeing one of them walk on water.
.::Battle Arsenal::.
Basic/Standard Weapons: shuriken, kunai, a few senbon, and explosive tags. -- Name of Weapon or Item: enhanced ninja razor wire. Description: uh, wire made of metal. very thin and cylindrical, but strong enough to withstand the weight of a tall man and can be hidden easily within bushes or hiding places where generally anyone wouldn't be looking where they were going. can cut into flesh. he uses this mostly for traps. Appearance: uh, thin and looks the color of iron wrapped around a light spool. can rust if not taken care of properly. -- Name of Weapon or Item: Water Containment Scroll Description: This scroll skill greatly increases the storage capacity of the container, by a factor of ten. Thus, a single canteen with this seal placed upon it can hold ten similar canteens' worth of water or other liquid. This increase in storage capacity does not affect the weight or external dimensions of the container, however, so that same canteen would weigh as much a non-sealed canteen. A secondary scroll seal array can be added to allow for "keyed" release, meaning that only those people who's chakra imprint is included in the scroll seal can utilize the water inside when it is "keyed." This is an optional process. Finally, water stored inside sealed containers are not subject to evaporation, leaking, or other non-deliberate water loss, rendering these containers ideal for users of water manipulation and any related styles requiring a water source. Obtained: rummaging through her apartment while she was supposed to be out on a mission one day, he found a curious scroll in all the junk anko left in the storage room; things she didn't bother to throw out, things she collected from missions (anko was something of a pack-rat), things she took from the T&I Dept. she caught him in her stuff, but surprisingly didn't care that he would have taken it. she normally didn't keep track of all the junk she had, so the effort was rather wasted in making her annoyed, having not received a more irrational response, something that disappointed the boy greatly. she allowed him to keep it since the scroll's owner was a former Mist-nin captive of the T&I Department (now dead, of course) and pointed out the dried blood located at the corners of which drew a disgusted face from him. not to be thought of as soft, she did leave him off with a warning that the next time she caught him breaking into her apartment and stealing her things, she would personally and slowly saw off his arms, boil them, and feed them to her pets. what pets, he didn't know, but his absence was a noticeable difference while she was away. Appearance: Creamish white; steel grey-blue on both ends of the scroll. He normally hides this within his sleeves or pocket on the inside of the top of his chang pao. Applied specific, permanent seals to the container: etched on the inside with ink.
Theme: -- Battle Theme: --
.::Skills and Techniques::.
Chakra Capacity: High. Chakra Control: Mid.
Specialty: chakra manipulation. --Sub: traps, information gathering.
While his proficiency lay in ninjutsu (mostly mid-range to long-range), he generally leads opponents into his traps, but if he's forced out on the battlefield, will dominate with ninjutsu and basic-level genjutsu. Has semi-perfect control over his chakra, which is above average levels. He also knows basic taijutsu (i.e. kata from the academy). He hasn't practiced well with close-combat, but he does give the vague impression that he has, causing non-close-combat specialists to think twice about closing in; the same can go for close-combatant, the split-second indecision for more inexperienced genin allows Yaira the distance he needs to perform his jutsu.
Jutsu
Kawarimi - Body Replacement Ninjutsu, E-Rank Range: - Seals: 5. Ram, Boar, Ox, Dog, Snake. Description: User replaces their own body with some other object, generally with a block of wood, the moment an attack lands. This creates an optical illusion, making the enemy think the attack was successful. From this, the user can use the lapse in the enemy's attention to attack or flee from the battlefield.
Bunshin - Clone Ninjutsu, E-Rank Range: short to mid-range Seals: 4. Tiger, Boar, Ox, Dog. Description: This technique creates intangible copies of the user. The clones are simply illusions and will dissipate when they come into contact with something. The illusions can be seen through by the Byakugan and the Sharingan. A person with normal eyes can also distinguish the clones from the original, since the clones will not disrupt the area around themselves with their movement (won't kick up dust, crush grass, etc.).
*Henge - Transformation Ninjutsu, E-Rank Range: - Seals: 1. Reverse Ram. Description: This jutsu allows the user to transform either themselves or another object into the appearance of another person, animal, or object. The transformation technique is considered to be among the more difficult E-ranked techniques, since it requires constant emission of chakra while mentally maintaining the form. The user would be, most likely, interacting with the environment. This puts much mental strain on an inexperienced ninja.The transformation would be dispelled when the user is injured or hit.
Name: Water Mirror Technique Ninjutsu, E-Rank. Range: short-range. Nature Type: water. Seals: none. Description: A simple jutsu that allows the user to turn a quantity of water as small as a drop and as large as a small puddle into a mirrored surface. This can allow the user to see behind himself, and around corners with careful application of the technique. Requires no hand seals.
Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique Genjutsu, D-Rank. mid-range. Yin Release Nature Seals: 2, Snake and Rat. Description: Used mostly by those in the T&I Department, this genjutsu reveals the fears that dwell inside people's hearts. Everyone has an image of the one thing they wouldn't want to ever see. This genjutsu is a technique that draws forth such an image from within the heart and has one mistake it for reality. First, an imaginary circle of leaves will spin around and envelop the target, falling away shortly after. After a short period, the illusion will begin. This is to make the illusion more convincing, since the user will likely have moved before the illusion sets in. If the mental image is a gruesome one, the shock will be accordingly great.
Water Release: Water Shuriken Ninjutsu, D-Rank. all ranges. Seals: Description: Through the use of water manipulation, the user can create multiple small shuriken comprised of water and launch them towards the target. After hitting and/or cutting a solid surface, they revert to water. It is important to note that these shuriken can be physically launched (by hand) or launched as they are created.
Note: -used mostly to save the wasteful use of his shuriken -useful for the when the user has ran out of projectile weapons -unavailable when there is no water source unless the user has learned to create water from his chakra
Water Release: Hiding in Water Ninjutsu, D-Rank. mid to long-range. Seals: 3, Dragon, Tiger, Hare. Description: From a puddle to a large lake, the user is able to hide his or her presence within it as long as there is a water source.
Note: -can be used to hide from inexperienced trackers/ninja -recommended use after rain or a large water source
Breathing Underwater Technique D-Rank - water nature, supplementary Description: The art of breathing underwater using chakra to remove oxygen from water. The length of time and the depth that the diver can go under depends on the ability of the user. This technique typically activates whenever the shinobi breathes in water and requires no handseals.
Water Release: Water Clone Ninjutsu, C-Rank. - water nature. Seals: 1, Tiger. Description: Creates one or multiple identical copies of the original out of water. More similar to Kage Bunshin then a regular Bunshin, water clones are capable of attacking, except each clone is roughly 1/10 the power of the original. The water clone can perform one Jutsu that the user also knows once. It must be a water elemental Jutsu. One solid hit will destroy the clone.
Water Realease: Trap Door Ninjutsu, D-Rank. mid to long-range. Water Nature. Seals: 3, Rat, Ox, and Ram. Description: User creates a puddle while holding the last hand seal in the 3-seal sequence, only this time the user does not alter his body but creates it from a certain distance (usually while hidden). The puddle created looks just like any puddle formed after a rain and will not reveal the trap below. If an opponent were to run over the puddle they would quickly fall into a hole that was dug beforehand. As soon as they do, the puddle fills in quickly after; if combined with another jutsu the puddle will be more effective.
Note: -user is forced to remain a certain distance to maintain the jutsu -recommended use after rainfall -opponent could walk on water if they know how, rendering the trap useless unless yaira releases the jutsu fast enough -can be used as a combo jutsu -with more practice, the puddle can be made bigger --the bigger the puddle, the more chakra that is needed
*Water Release: Sticky Hands I Ninjutsu, D-Rank. - Water Nature. Seals: 2, Hare, Boar. Description: The user uses a water source (either a cup of water or from his own sweat) to make their hands sticky.
Note: -used mostly to pickpocket -weapons are less likely to fall from the user's hands (i.e. a sword)
Purification Ninjutsu, E to D-Rank. - water nature, supplementary. Seals: 1, Hare. Description: Through a concentration of chakra, the user purifies water (either in a cup or a pot, anything from soup to a cup of tea) for drinking. User must maintain contact with the liquid in order for the jutsu to take effect and after may drink or do whatever with the liquid after purification without the use of contact. Since this works well with water, Yaira could purify if needed, especially if poison has been detected, although he won't be able to detect the poison himself. With more practice, the user may use the jutsu without handseals.
Water Release: Water Spike Ninjutsu, D-Rank. water nature, offensive / defensive. Seals: Hare, Boar, Tiger, Dog. Description: By hardening the water through use of chakra, Yaira makes a single spike of water rise up or below the water's surface. Used mostly with his Trap Door Technique, Yaira has found other uses for it as well.
Note: -blunt end so does not pierce -used mostly to keep distance between himself and his opponents -can be easily dodged -a rudimentary variation of the rising water cutter technique

typical asian face, squinty eyes and black upswept hair. wears a grey male [url=http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ryaShn0VlSs/TQW8Le-i44I/AAAAAAAAASo/J3Wrh23mQIg/s1600/Kuroshitsuji_Black_Butler_Lau_costume_ver_01-4-04.jpg]chang pao[/url] with blue sash and black pants. his appearance is deceiving, making people think that his specialty is taijutsu. he capitalizes on that by imitating the pose of a monk, hands tucked in his large sleeves or folded behind his back, sometimes even taking on a vague taijutsu pose; his chakra is not all that it appears to be, either, having the skill necessary for chakra capacity for manipulation. he was a mid to long-ranged specialist.
yaira doesn't have much of an elaborate past, really. his clan wasn't a big deal like the hyuugas or the uchihas. short on cash, they didn't have the means to take care of him so they gave him up to the orphanage. at the age of four, he soon knew who they were and where they lived (surprising for someone not yet old enough for the academy), but he didn't put much effort into seeking them out and finding out why. he already had an idea of why they gave him up and didn't blame them for it. they don't look for him, either, and yaira was perfectly fine with that. although, with no money of his own, he was forced to steal/pickpocket. the orphanage fed him and clothed him with hand-me-downs, of course, but they were never given the luxuries that yaira would crave on occasion.
he one day pick-pocketed the wrong jounin, however, and was caught and further bullied for his actions. this jounin's name was one mitarashi anko. whenever the temperamental (read: crazy) woman came about he would make it his mission to try to steal from her wallet. he'd been caught every time, unsurprisingly.
to further annoy the woman when people asked if they were siblings, he'd replaced his last name and taken on hers. it would only make sense. she didn't seem to have a family of her own anyway, so might as well self-make himself into a relative of hers. he hasn't officially moved in to live with her. like him, anko preferred her space and he understood that as well, but he did pay her enough visits for the woman to realize he wasn't going anywhere. they were not in any relationship, either, nothing like 'friends-with-benefits,' but if anko happened to pass on some teachings of her own, who's to say anyone needed to find out what he paid her in return?
