Izahei Uchiha

is a shinobi born in the Uchiha Clan, but raised in the Yamagakure's Mazuka Clan. Son of Kurono Uchiha and Suguha Mazuka, Izahei was raised in his mother's clan after the death of his father. Now a jōnin at Hidden Leaf Village, Izahei is considered one of the strongest shinobi of his generation. After graduating at the Academy, he became member of Team Hiiro, where the members saw each other as family, despite the rivalry among them. Izahei is now known throughout the Hidden Leaf Village as (, Literally meaning Flying Thunder of the Leaf).

Apearance
Izahei is a tall young man on his 20's. His skin has a light tone, close to "white". His black-purplelish hair is usually tied in a ponytail, with two bangs swept away from his face. Izahei also has blue eyes, a trait inherited from his mother, Suguha. His regular attire consists of a black coat, a white shirt, black pants and black shoes, with a white belt that also holds his katana. He sometimes wear a black tie. But it's not unusual to see Izahei using more taditional clothing, such as kimonos and yukatas.



When he was younger, he wore a black navy jersey, a tattered scarf around his neck and his hair was considerably shorter, being about chin-lenght as well as much messier. He also kept his hair in a ponytail, even though it was something rare to see, and also wore at certain times kimonos and yukatas.

At the second phase of the chūnin exam, Izahei wore his jersei, but without the scarf and with his bandanna on the neck. His hair grew up a little and he also became taller (5'7). On the otherhand, he also started using his "new" sword, which replaced his old one.

As a kid, Izahei wore a simple light blue kimono and his hair was also considerably shorter.



Personality
When he was younger, Izahei had a brash, sneaky, ruthless and childish nature that made everyone around go mad quickly. But that was the way he found to express himself, as he felt lonely and had only wished for friends, since most of his time was spent training with the Mazuka clansmen. As such, he aalways tried to get attention from people, even though it was being an annoying kid.

He also was very playful, mostly wishing to play with everyone. But, at times, Izahei felt himself pretty lonely, due to his mother's being occupied on missions and not knowing his father, as he had "no one to play". This is one of the reasons he was always making a fuss wherever he were.

After he became a genin and started going on missions with his sensei, Makoto Hiiro, as well as his companions (Sakamaki Iroto, Nashiro Umirinbu and Yohan Hyūga), he started showing a more mature side, being more composed, quieter and generally calmer. He stopped making ruckus everyday since he finally got attention of people who are important to him.

Izahei is also very determined and is willing to accomplish his goals, but he is ready to give up any of them if it means helping someone. He refers to his as his "stubborness", since he is always willing to help people. But his patience isn't by any way endless and he acts pretty cold when talking to someone who's willing to commit suicide. He refers to this as "a way to escape real life, since they couldn't face their own problems". He respects, however, people that commit suicide in order to help others, which lead us to the conclusion that Izahei does not hate suicide. He haters people who give up on living. As such, his first phrase when he spoke to his students for the first was "Shall life strike you hard, shut up and strike harder!" He, however, tries to be more "soft" if something like this happen with someone he cares.

When in battle, Izahei is very cunning and analytic. He would often use his Sharingan to uncover flaws in the enemy's jutsu and exploit them. Since he does not like using his Mangekyo Sharingan skills, using them is a very rare and critical occasion. Mostly, he relies more on his Lightning Release, Storm Release, Fire Release and as well as his swordmanship.
