Iroha

is a jōnin level kuniochi hailing from the Land of Waves. Formerly a ninja monk of the Fire Temple, she left shortly before it was destroyed by Akatsuki members in order to fulfill a desire to travel. It is by this means that she met a impulsive yet highly intelligent genin-level shinobi, who had only a few days earlier evaded ANBU-level shinobi from both the Konoha and Kumo in order to safely cross the border. Noting his potential, Iroha challenged him to a battle, and while she defeated him easily, she could tell he had a bright future. It is for this reason that she took him under her wing, creating Team Iroha. After adding a kunoichi from another village formerly hostile to Kumo, she reinforced her moniker as the Steadying Hand, for her ability to bring people with conflicting interests or hostilities together, and to mediate even the worst arguments. For now, she seeks to train and watch her students grow, while exploring the shinobi world.

Abilities
She is noted to be a highly skilled and extraordinarily capable kunoichi in a variety of shinobi arts, ranging from the mainstream to the little known. Her abilities are such that it is said the temple would not have fallen to the Akatsuki should Iroha have remained, even though 2 S-rank shinobi, known as the Zombie Combo, were the perpetrators of its untimely demise. A further testament to her prowess is her unceremonious defeat of Bibari, a ANBU-level kuniochi of Kirigakure, as well as countless other ANBU that followed. Even Chiriku, a powerful combatant and leader of the Fire Temple, admitted his inferiority to Iroha, stating her mastery of ninjutsu and taijutsu went beyond his own. However, the greatest testament to her ability was her battle with one of the Sannin, which lasted for over a day before she was defeated, though not before earning the name of Izanami from Jiraiya, for both her beauty and her power. It is to this end that her overall prowess is evaluated as Kage-level if not slightly higher.
