Kiritsu Taisei/Jonin

Kiritsu Taisei is a Jonin hailing from Getsugakure. A former member of Team Chinka, he has since departed from the team like the others have, though he still keeps close ties with his former teammates. Having gained nearly full control over the negative energy in his soul by combining it with his positive energy, he has undergone several radical physical changes to his body. Despite the changes, he's still the same down to earth person he was when he was a Genin, though with some different personality quirks.

Background
Having been recently promoted to Jonin, Kiritsu has never felt more at peak with his abilities than he has now. He has been teaching students in the Getsugakure Academy, serving primarily as a substitute teacher. During this time, he discovered how to use Lightning Release, which he had begun training with a lot to help combine with his Wind Release, which he had already mastered. Considered one of the top prodigies of Wind Release in the village, he primarily teaches wind based techniques to students, giving them basic or advanced advice depending on their rank. He's seen as someone any student is able to ask a question to relating to Wind Release, being seen as an open minded teacher who a lot of the students respect. The biggest challenge for him before achieving Jonin rank was finally merging his negative energy with his positive. It took him years to do this, and each stitched wound proves that greatly. The final step to keeping his negative energy at bay was the most drastic; He had a large screw implanted into his head, which he adjusts regularly to keep the negative energy from becoming too strong. The screw reacts to his positive energy, balancing out the attempted overflowing negative energy, preventing it from becoming dominant. Though he doesn't like how it looks, it's the only way he could be alone without the negative energy taking over.

Appearance
Kiritsu has been described as a walking doodle; Many different stitches adorn his body as if they were the only thing keeping him together. He's fairly tall and has a very fit physique. His hair, which was once white, has turned to grey due to the balance of his negative and positive energy. His sight has become a little subpar. Though it's still decent, he wears a set of large rimmed, frameless glasses when teaching to help him see which students are asking questions. His outfit is equally jigsawed as his body, with a turtleneck sweater that has many different stitches adorning it with a matching pair of pants. He commonly wears a lab coat over this, again, adorned with many stitches.

Personality
Eccentric, kind, a little bit mad, there are few words that could describe Kiritsu's... unique personality. He has a great air of kindness around him, which is seen most by the people around him. Though when he's alone, he tends to be more in the middle; Not quite happy, but at the same time, not sad, either. He's been described as an emotional rollercoaster at times, since sometimes the negative energy gets just enough where it begins to take hold of some of his emotions. During this time, he could be seen as either rather manic or depressed, depending on the negative energy's influence. He tries his best to keep this under control, but sometimes it gets difficult; It's as if the negative energy is preventing him from balancing out his positive energy by keeping his emotions unstable.

Abilities
Despite his personality, none of Kiritsu's combat capabilities have faltered. If anything, they've become much better. He's become a master at his sword, spear, stealth and ninjutsu, being considered a ghost with a blade by some of his adversaries. His almost surgical precision with bladed weapons earned him the moniker "Surgeon of Getsugakure".

Kenjutsu
Kiritsu's Kenjutsu couldn't have looked any better. Having mastered just about everything there is from the style his father taught him, his movements have been considered elegant, subtle, and most of all, dangerous. His style has adopted some of his father's, using carefully selected movements to counter an opponent's attack by negating it, leaving them wide open for a quick, precise slash. His acrobatic capabilities make him a deadly kenjutsu master, allowing him to move quickly, smoothly and unpredictably.

Bukijutsu
Though he doesn't use shuriken or kunai as much as he used to, his accuracy nonetheless is still as sharp as it used to be, though there are times where his subpar vision makes it hard for him to get a proper aim in. Because of this, he began to work more on his abilities with his spear. Considered a top notch spearman, his mid-range skills with his spear are deadly. By combining unpredictable swings and stabs with equally unpredictable movements, his style has been considered a deadly dance, one that keeps his opponents constantly on edge. Because of the cloth still tied to his spear, his swing directions are unpredictable, as the cloth constantly moves in random directions, hiding the true direaction of his spear's swing or stab. Thanks to the bladed head, he can perform a broad array of swings for defense and offense, making him a surgical expert at spearplay.

Ninjutsu
Ninjutsu is another field Kiritsu has become extremely proficient in. His mastery over Wind Release: Great Breakthrough allows him to deliver one powerful hurricane force gust after another. Thanks to his mastery over the skill, he can summon a Great Breakthrough with but two handseals; The first and the last. If he needs to, he can manipulate the shape of the gust, creating a specialized tunnel to improve his projectilve speed, accuracy and distance. He can also provide this to his former teammates, allowing them to use their skills more proficiently and more accurately. He has also picked up some Lightning Release techniques, which he has shown some promise in. Another unique skill he's picked up in is chakra suturing. By creating stitches with his chakra, he can keep an opponent from moving by sealing off one of their limbs, or even creating a zone that activates when stepped on, suturing their foot to the ground. He can also activate these sutures via touch, making his taijutsu dangerous.

Taijutsu
Following his promotion to Chuunin, Kiritsu has been working greatly on his taijutsu to help fill in that close quarters gap. Thanks to years of training, his taijutsu is at its peak. Capable of a mixture of Judo and Karate, he can expertly deflect and counter attacks almost instinctively. By using the clinch, he can restrict an opponent's attacks and deliver crushing kicks to his opponent's midsection, tearing away at their stamina one kick at a time. By getting his opponent to bend over slightly, he can grab one of their arms and perform a lateral roll, leaving them open for an armbar that they're unable to get out of thanks to restricting their movement via chakra sutures.
