Ho

Akira Sarutobi (猿ジャンプアキラ, Sarutobi Akira) is a female Chunin of the Sarutobi clan. Like the rest of her clan, she is skilled in a wide range of jutsu, but it the only one to be shown so far with the water element. A similarity she also shares with the other members of her clan is the strong belief in the Will of Fire. She is also a Konoha member of Koukon during the Fifth Great Shinobi War.

Appearance
Akira has long black hair with a white streak running through it, and onyx eyes. She wears a small kunoichi vest, and a net-like undershirt. She also wears her Konoha forehead protector on her waist and a long flowing, winter cape on her back. She is usually either smiling or wearing an indifferent expression on her face.

Personality
Akira is stoic, calm, and level-headed. As a young child, she was bright, compassionate, and relatively cheerful, in comparison to her cousin, Konohamaru's tough attitude and her cousin Asuma's seriousness. However, the trauma of events of the ongoing Fifth Great Shinobi War have led her to become a very serious person, and she never spoke during war meetings in Konoha. Nevertheless, she has always placed the safety of her teammates above her own.

She does seem to be more empathic than most other Koukon members, as she appears sad whenever she has been reminded of the death of a comrade during the war. She also expresses a great deal of loyalty and love to Ryun, looking out for his well-being and always having complete faith in his abilities. She is also completely in love with him, and has made this known to him. It is still unknown if he returns these feelings.

Abilities
Akira is a quite powerful Chunin, or at least very confident in her abilities. She is surprisingly one of the few female ninja that does not use medical ninjutsu.

Water and Wind Release
She is able to alter the entire battlefield by using her Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave, to create a lake's worth of water to give her the field advantage, and to use for attacks. She can also use Wind type chakra to enhance the cutting power of her weapons. Akira is also able to reduce herself to liquid form, though it will take her a great deal of time before she can reform into her human form. As she can make her body into water, she is also capable of merging with already existing water to increase her attack range, and to use Water Release techniques.
