Shibui

is a {[nw|shinobi}} bearing allegiance to the. Once attributed the status of, he has since been demoted to that of a upon a long series of failed missions, which are more or less attributed to his inability to subdue his own anger.

Background
Born to shinobi parents, growing up, Shibui had very little say in what he wanted to be when he grew up. During his days in the academy, he was something of a class-clown, behaving in a manner in which would normally provoke laughter; however, this unfortunately unraveled into a failure for young Shibui, if not having an adverse effect altogether, whereby the rest of his classmates began to poke fun at him for his pink hair.

All throughout his adolescence, Shibui was nothing short of a mockery in the eyes of his peers. This took a toll on his personality, translating him into the cruel person the world would know him as later in his lifetime. There was, however, but one individual whom did not terrorize Shibui for his pink hair, that being Yasuda, a girl who would become his fellow squadron member —she instead made fun of his large nose, which according to her, took up more than half of his face.

Even so, Shibui found himself falling for Yasuda during their ventures across the world as teammates —a time in which he ascended to the rank of Chūnuni— only for her to shoot down his advances by openly declaring her love for her other teammate. Despite this circumstance, Shibui was unable to rid himself of his love for Yasuda, and was only more internally wounded upon her passing, during a mission in which he was explicitly made to protect her. This event marked a decline in his career, for he lost his status as a Chūnin very shortly after upon accumulating a long series of failed missions, many of which were only rendered as such due to his lack of self control; Shibui would murder any and all targets in an effort to cope and relieve the stress that had plagued him with the coming of Yasuda's death.

Appearance
Appearing to be within the midst of his pubescence, Shibui is a man of average stature, while harboring a lean build that naturally enables him with more of a strut to his step in contrast to brawn. With provisionally divided into two separate factions, Shibui is among the darker skinned specimen of the village. As thus, he has intricate facial features as would be becoming of his peers: a large nose, enlarged lips, and delicious chocolate skin. Perhaps what is the most distinctive of his overall appearance, and what ultimately separates him from the others of his breed, is his unusual pink hair color, which is all the more bizarre when pitted together alongside his dazzling emerald eyes.

Much like the other shinobi of Kumogakure, Shibui is most usually adorned within the attire made traditional to the village. Around his forehead, plastered across his firm hairline lay a dark-banded forehead protector, which serves the dual purpose of both signifying his loyalty to the clouds and defending the motherboard of his body from illicit harm. Over a plain, sleeveless black shirt is the customary flak jacket native to his folk, made unique from other villages by its single strap over the left shoulder. About his arms and shins are guards for further protection, and worn beneath his torso, though hovering directly above his dark leggings is a dark colored sash that conceals the various assorted packages he has assembled around his being, which exist to luggage the various ninja tools he calls upon rather frequently in battle. Furthermore, beneath the aforementioned guards overlapping his forearms are tattoos used to summon even more supplies, if the situation were to demand it.

Personality
As if he were the true embodiment of such a morale, Shibui is one of the most ill-mannered scoundrels within the world of ninjas; so much so, that it is quite apparent on his face, being so consistently plastered across it. He harbors little to no respect for his elders, addressing them without any proper honorifics and going as far as to instead creating nicknames of his own liking for them, which more or less have to do with the physical appearance of the aforementioned person —this is true with all others as well. This case of mishap extends as far as to the, and even his own beloved parents.

What may be viewed as a weakness come the flares of battle is Shibui's hot-temper. He is quite easily agitated, which often times will render him a failure in terms of accomplishing the mission at hand; many times in the past has the boy murdered a target he was otherwise meant to capture, out of a lack of control over his own emotions. Even so, there has been instances where Shibui has been able to mask his anger, or at the very least, translate it to his advantage, through the process of amplifying his own strength and concentration int he midst of a bout between the enemy and he.

Stemming from his atrocious temper is a direct lack of patience, and the inability to comprehend the more important aspects of life. Instead of adhering to the components of a given assignment, Shibui would much rather follow through with what he himself defines as the "feeling of his own gut", which more or less is his way of saying he will do as he pleases. He cannot sustain waiting for extensive periods of time; this setback is so great that Shibui will empty his bladder in public rather than find himself a toilet to conduct his business. However, this is not to be confused with laziness, as his impatience has actually translated to a thorough work ethic.

Abilities
In the past, Shibui proved himself capable of harnessing the skill set of a chūnin-ranked shinobi. However, while this feeble mark of status has since been taken from him, he still retains the abilities as would be becoming of such a designation.

Nature Transformation
Like most others hailing from Kumogakure, Shibui has a natural affinity towards the, which he incorporates into his arsenal of combat orientated abilities in a multitude of ways.
