Samuru Kyokujitsu

Samuru Kyokujitsu (きょくじつ さむる, Kyokujitsu Samuru) is a genin level shinobi, hailing from Getsugakure (Village Hidden under the Moon), who’s family has lived there from the first shinobi war onwards. He was born approx. two years after the fourth shinobi world war had started.

Appearance
Samuru has the appearance of a rather pale 14 year old teen, consisting of; aforementioned pale skin (not to the point of being unnatural), dark brown eyes and messy hair, along with thin eyebrows. He is of a lean and tall build, taller than quite a few people to him senior in age, being of 182 cm of height. Though this also takes emphasis off his physical strength. He is also a rather light fellow, being of roughly only 50kg.

His attire suits him to a degree, wearing long, plain pants than fall over the top of his foot-wear, and a plain t-shirt of the same colour. He has his kunai and shuriken in separate pouches, though both can be found on his right leg, which he start wearing after completing his academy years. Along with that, he wears his forehead protector on his left hand, with the metallic surface facing outwards, which he can use to block some attacks, as per his fighting style. His final piece of attire is his wakizashi in it’s scabbard, which he keeps across his lower back.

Personality
Samuru is a rather quiet soul, eager to pay attention and learn. He can usually be found with an expressionless face, which is his only guard of his calm, fragile composure, regarded as the “thin poker face”, due to it’s frailty. Despite this, he does smile a fair bit around those he is familiar with, particularly around his close friends, where a goofy smile is shared around.

He is one for the law and justice, preferring all to be fair, though hardly gets his way in that respect. He is the analytical-type; attempting to find a way past something in a shortest amount of time. Another little trait of his is to create small-talk in battle against the opponent, usually with the result of them being annoyed if they are overly brash, one-track minded or simply aggravated already.

Early Years
Samuru is the eldest son of a jōnin of Getsugakure,, and his wife,. He also has two younger siblings; his sister, and his brother,. After he had reached the age of 10, he then joined the Student Academy of Getsugakure. He was usually the loner of his class, by his choice, as he found the other people in his class to be... Somewhat odd. When he turned the age of 11, he graduated from his class, being the second highest in his class of 8 people, having mastered the substitution technique, transformation technique and the clone technique, along with the body flicker technique. After this, he was put into a team with fellow student; <nameispending, and his team leader was a jōnin, by the name of Akari Boido.

Genin Years
During his early genin years, he was kept to simply the D-rank missions, as protocol goes. After roughly 11 months, he and his team were sent on their first c-rank mission, which went off without a hitch, boosting the genin's morale. Not long after this, he and his teammate, entered into the chūnin exam, and completed the first test with ease.

However, they didn't do so well in the second test. In that test, they were outnumbered 1.5 to 1, since most teams had three members while they only had two. Half way through the test, they lost their heaven scroll, meaning that their chance of victory were slim. When the test was over, they were sent home. [Note: The story is still being written, it may take sometime.]

Abilities
Samuru is an intelligent person, preferring to use logic to ascertain a person’s weakness, and then exploit it. Being hailed a partial genius by his former academy, being able to fully master the transformation technique, substitution technique and clone technique in a fortnight, as well as the body flicker technique, which he learned at a later time.

He is more of a mixed ranged fighter, easily able to attack from a distance and able to fight using his wakizashi if the fight becomes a close combat fight. A unusual fighting trait of his is to his fore-head protector on his left hand (albeit slightly modified), to be able to redirected or even block incoming blows from a opponent.

Due to his lanky/ lean frame, he is one for evasion over tanking out the damage, although he has some sort of resistance to pain (albeit, rather low). Other than this, he has no noticeable physical weaknesses.

Ninjutsu
One of the areas he excels in, being able to use C-level techniques flawlessly, despite being only a genin. The main area that relies on in combat the most, being able to pull off a small multitude of D-level techniques in quick succession, though this does leave him mildly taxed afterwards.

Taijutsu
The area where Samuru lacks the most in, due to his lack of interest in it and his meager physical strength have put him off learning much about taijutsu, this makes him fodder in a fight against any taijutsu user, to say the least, aside from those who are equally or even more so lacking in skill in this area.

Genjustu
One of the highest of all his justu, on par with his ninjutsu. He uses this quite often, as a set-up for most of his more powerful ninjutsu techniques. Though he has only used the more basic illusions so far, such as an illusion of them being in another place, when they’re not, or change their perspective to see different geological features.

Shurikenjutsu
The most amazing of all his combat skills. This particular jutsu is the pride skill of the Kyokujitsu clan, being able to pull of feats with any weapon suitable for ranged combat, even so far as being able to have a shuriken reverse direction in mid-air. This is also exposed on him, though not at a competent level (for his clan), he is still able to fight with shuriken and any ranged weapon on a high level.

This is done by having a link to the weapon being thrown, much like a remote has a link to it’s partner (i.e. T.V. remote to a T.V.), and being able to change it’s direction, even in mid-air. This requires chakra, making this portion of his skill unusable when his chakra pathways are blocked. However, as he is not even skilled in this yet, the chakra link between him and the weapon is partially visible, as well as it being limited to one weapon per hand.

Kenjutsu
His form of close combat, he prefers this over taijutsu. His preferred weapon in this jutsu is a wakizashi, a medium length Japanese sword, which he keeps in it’s scabbard on his lower back. He prefers to use it in bladed combat over the kunai, due to the wakizashi having longer length, a guard and a longer edge, suited for slicing as well as thrusting. He is able to grip the blade normally or in a reverse grip, to be able to gain advantage from the extra angles given by the reverse grip.

Hiden
Samuru has one hiden technique, taught to him by his father before he passed on, called the Faith Oath. This particular jutsu allows the user to bypass major injuries (such as a broken bone) and even heals minor injuries (grazes and cuts) upon using the technique, to enable them to keep on fighting. This limits the user to being able to use D-rank jutsu and an increased chakra consumption rate.
