Mizuki Saito

"I may not know what you plan to do. I may not know how you plan to do it. But now that I know that you are going to harm the village, I WILL stop you!"

- Mizuki Saito

 Mizuki Saito (斎藤美月,  Saitō Mizuki ) is a kunoichi of Konohagakure and a Jōnin-Rank ninja. She is a member of the Twelve Guardian Ninja. She possesses the unique Steel release ability and this along with her amazing intelligence was one the main reasons for her selection as one of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas. She is also the best friend of fellow Konoha jonin, S.

Personality
Mizuki is a very cunning and sharp minded person. She has a very cheerful and easy go lucky view to life. But she can become very serious when the situation calls for it. She is very kind and is always willing to help others out in any way she can. She is a very honourable person and has a very strong sense of honour and justice. She considers it her duty as a shinobi of Konoha to always ensure the safety of the village and its people. As such she has a great love for the village and will oppose anyone who threatens her home.

She is best friends with S and has very strong feelings for him. As he does not have any family, Mizuki tries her best to act like his family and never lets him feel that he is alone in the world. Despite her talents, she is a very humble and down to earth person when it comes to most things. But if anyone praises her looks she easily gets embarrassed while at the same time getting very pleased with herself. S often uses this tendency of hers to tease her. Mizuki also has a very good sense of humour and often breaks the tension in a weird situation with a witty and well-timed response.

She treats people in a kind and respectful manner. She is gives her elders and superiors the respect that is due to them and treats those younger than her with kindness and patience.

Abilities
Mizuki is a master tactician who often tries to avoid battles as much as she can. She specialises in Genjutsu though on activating her Steel Release she can use Taijutsu with considerable proficiency.

Tactician
Mizuki has a very high IQ, over 200. Due to this she is considered as one of the smartest people living in the Land of Fire. She has the ability to come up with strategies very quickly and can access a situation and come up with the most strategically sound course of action. She can read an enemy’s movements and techniques and come up with a weakness or a way to counter their attack.

Chakra Control
Mizuki is a master at chakra control. Her high intellect meant that she was able to understand how her chakra flowed and exactly how much she needed for a particular technique. Thus she hardly ever wastes any chakra and only uses as much is required. She is very skilled at conserving her chakra.

Nature Transformation
Mizuki has shown great mastery of her natural affinity towards earth chakra, and is capable of using several high-level earth-based jutsu without hand seals. She can use earth chakra to create walls as a means of defence as well as use it for attack purposes. She also creates clones of herself using the Earth Clone technique. Having also mastered lightning based chakra, she is also capable of using several lightning based jutsu. She often uses Lightning Release Shadow Clone, which allows her to create a shadow clone infused with lightning chakra. This enables her to study an enemy’s techniques and fightning style before directly engaging him or her in battle.

Steel Release
Mizuki was born with the unique kekkei genkai nature Steel. This chakra nature or release allows her to turn a part of or entire body into black steel, making her invulnerable to almost all form of physical attacks and weapons. The Steel Release: Impervious Armor greatly increases her defence abilities her strength. But her speed seems to decrease a bit. She often turns her palm into steel and uses it as a blade, calling this as Steel Release: Black Blade. One of the drawbacks of the Steel release is that it drains her chakra reserves. Though her high chakra levels allow her to use the Steel Release, she keeps its use in reserve so that it doesn’t drain her chakra before the fight is over.
