Sōka Naoki

Sōka Naoki (直木草花, Naoki Sōka; Literally meaning "Upright Tree, Flowering Plant") is a Jōnin of Noragakure and the current team leader of Team Sōka, the largest team of the current cohort. He is a Pseudo-Jinchūriki of Son Gokū due to experiments conducted on him as a child, thus morphing his physiology. Prior to his establishment within Noragakure, he was a subordinate of Gentsuchi, his Nōkage, in Iwagakure, until pursuing him and challenging him to battle in Noragakure, promoting him into the ranks of a Jōnin very quickly.
