Shikaru Nara

Shikaru Nara (鹿流 奈良, Nara Shikaru) is a young Konohagakure shinobi who is a member of the Nara Clan. He serves as a Tactical Officer, working alongside many high ranking ANBU Black Ops.

Appearance
Youthful and firm, Shikaru has straight black hair and milky white skin. His eyes are a dulled brown and he has shown to part his hair over his left eye at times. He wears a fish-net top with a pair of black shorts. Over the fish-net shirt, he wears a gray jacket with the Nara symbol on the back. He has shown to wear his Konohagakure Headband on his forehead, unlike many other Nara Clan members. On his lower back he carries a medium sized scroll with the kanji for forged weaponry (打ち物).

Personality
Strong willed and calm headed, Shikaru acts quite casual. He doesn't over react on most points, and has shown to take a productive approach on matters. He is quite likable and constantly shows top notch leadership. He is a skilled tactician, working alongside ANBU Black Ops. members on normal occasions. He is one of the few members of Konohagakure members trusted by elders of other villages, being a "diplomat" with the Land of Lighting, Earth and Wind. When things come to the very worst he has shown to take the utmost serious approach, keeping his village safe at all costs. He has been described as a slacker with a King's intuition.

Abilities
A skilled user of his clan's secret Shadow Techniques, he can effectively use them to the highest degree. Mastering the control of chakra, and the control of his opponents he can administer the Shadow Imitation Technique with the flick of a finger. He created a powerful Shadow technique for the future generations of Nara clan's members. The Mass Shadow Binding Technique is a powerful technique involving the binding of multiple targets at once. This technique requires large amounts of chakra and drains Shikaru quickly.

Another skill he has mastered is the manipulation of weaponry. Carrying a scroll on his person, it stores thousands of different weapons that he can call upon at any given moment. Unlike a normal summoning, it doesn't require a "blood pact" and simply to use of chakra to open the seal. The first Summoning: Weaponry Skill is calling out single weapons and such for close combat and such. While the next stage, Summoning: Weaponry Skill #2 can launch the entire arsenal of weapons at once at a direct area.

Notes from the Author

 * My interest in creating characters from clans already in the series of Naruto is larger than my interest in making new clans and characters. Another notable character of this design is Hotaru Aburame, a character who I also show much interest in. The Nara and Aburame clan are two of my favorite clans with an interesting arsenal of jutsu in their hands.
