Hanzai Uchiha

"To serve your lord and do his bidding, is that honorable?"

“Every day I have to ask myself: Will this day, be the last day I lie in the sun?

" Freedom cannot be forced into existence, nor can it be won through painful struggle. Freedom cannot be bought or sold. It has nothing to do with one’s social status; one’s profession is of no consequence. In order for you to accept yourself as you are and live with your soul at peace, you must simply teach yourself to let it be, only then will you discover freedom.."

Hanzai Uchiha (犯罪サスケ, Hanzai Uchiha) is a Ronin who serves Lord Kurama. He's become a major in figure in both Lord Kurama and Yuna's life, even going as far as calling the three a family.

Appearance
Hanzai has a compacted muscular build. Meaning his muscles are tight and firm, making him perfect for Taijutsu as well as Kenjutsu. His overall composure is gentle, which matches his handling of The Sword. Hanzai's eyes rarely show anything but understanding and sympathy. Even with his Kekkei Genkai activated, Hanzai's eyes are comforting. Hanzai prefers to wear a expensive Kimono made of expensive Silk, which has the Uchiha Fan embedded on it's center. His choice of Kimono's always involve how light it is, allowing him to maneuver through easier. Hanzai wears traditional guards under his Kimono as well. His sandals have a metal piece nailed into them, allowing him to guard attacks with his feet. One will find Hanzai smiling often as he enjoys his freedom and peace of mind. Hanzai's voice demands respect. Both dark and smooth, he can send shivers down the toughest criminal.

Younger Hanzai was shown to be much more slim and scrawny. So much so, wielding a sword often took great concentration as he lacked natural control. His attacks were filled with wasted steps and deathly openings. Hanzai's eyes represented determination. Rarely smiling, he seemed nothing but ambitious. His voice roared of untamed and aggressive power.

Hanzai tattoo'd his body with all sorts of symbols. His largest being an Uchiha fan on the center of his back, surrounded by his infamous Bushido Code. Branded and kneeded onto him, his Bushido Code covers his entire back and even stretches across his arms. The Seven virtues also rest on his chest, in a unique formation. At the Center is the other side of the Uchiha Fan. Creating a mirrored picture, front and back.

Personality
""For to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.""

Hanzai and Soru share various traits. However, their ideals on action and the value of life differ greatly. Hanzai seeks diplomacy before any battle, going as far as trying to convince his enemies to submit. Even if his targets refuse, Hanzai will attempt to convince them otherwise. It is only when one stands strong by their cause, that Hanzai will engage in true battle. He disagree's with a Shinobi's way of battling, preferring to fight with true skill rather than trickery.

Hanzai believes patience is key and enjoys Idle time, which is spent training Yuna or practicing. However, when there is an imminent danger, Hanzai will suggest rushing into battle. Hanzai follows a strict code of Bushido. Going as far as tattooing each code and virtue on his body. Each virtue corries a different meaning and purpose. Courage (勇氣 yūki) causes him to offer his blade and life whenever danger appears. A famous quote he lives with states; Bravery isn't the absence of fear..It's actions with the presence of fear. His improved virtue of Courage allowed him to face armies. Rectitude (禮 gi), a controversial virtue in itself, Hanzai does not judge. He lives by a strict ideology that no one is perfect, and will judge by the reason before an action. It was this virtue which allowed him to serve Soru. Once he saw that Soru's reasoning for interfering was not for personal gain, but instead because Soru loves Yuna, he realized that Soru existed as a ideal master. Hanzai strictly follows a code of Benevolence (仁 jin). The coin Soru pays him, although unwanted, is spent on the poor and helping others. Although, due to Hanzai's involvement with Meido, his code of Benevolence has slightly twisted. He will allow wrongdoing as long as it supports Soru's ultimate cause. Hanzai Respects (禮 rei) those both stronger and weaker than him. To Hanzai, a fire ant could kill a man, and a giant could fall from a rightfully aimed slingshot. His code of Honesty (誠 makoto) forced him to never tell a lie. Hanzai also follows his Samurai Honour (名誉 meiyo) to his master. It was his honor that made him consider training the Young Princess. His strongest code, Hanzai's Loyalty (忠義 chūgi) goes unlimited. He will break every other code for who he serves, that being Soru.
