Rank: Genin

Chakra Nature: Wind

Appearance: Jiro is an unassuming child. His hair, colored a burned auburn, he inherited from his mother, and he wears it cropped short, well out of the way. Baby fat hides his angular face, only now beginning to be grown out of. His eyes are a muddy brown, specked with slivers of blue and wide on his face. His skin is well-tanned from his time out of doors, and is uncharacteristically unblemished for a ninja, Jiro having avoided receiving too many wounds in his short Academy career. He wears trousers and a long-sleeved shirt of whatever color affords camouflage when he expects trouble, protection given by armor worn beneath the thin cloth. In casual settings, he wears whatever he has not grown out of, the occasional growth spurt leaving his mostly-dark clothing often mismatched or ill-fitting.

He walks with confidence, and his eyes rarely stop moving. He takes in all he can, so ensconced in the ninja’s paranoid mindset that he can rarely bring himself to escape it, when he notices it at all. His voice is low for a boy his age, his voice marred by a lisp he has only recently managed to extricate from himself. Jiro speaks quickly and concisely, and always looks people in the eyes. His smile is frequent, his laugh much less so, and his anger manifests quietly indeed, scowls and frowns slight and reluctant when his displeasure mounts.



Personality: Jiro is a serious boy. He is not taken with fantasy, nor the frequent delusions of grandeur so common amongst his peers. He is a boy focused on reality, and how he can shape it the best he can. That is not to say Jiro lacks any of the trappings of immaturity. He is often too decisive, too attracted to the high-minded and too easily taken in by the affectations of wisdom rather than real knowledge. His understanding of the world is limited by his age and experience, but Jiro has always made concerted efforts to know his own limits and map his ignorance, so it can be fixed.

Jiro loves both knowing things, and in the acquisition of knowledge itself. This manifests both as commendable scholarship and occasional, unfortunate, voyeurism. He craves knowledge of the world, of its mechanisms, and of means to translate what he knows into reality. His curiosity does not stop at the useful, however. He finds himself driven by his need to know minutiae or the intricacies of mundanities of everyday life. He loves to read, and listen, and watch, and think on what he has seen.

Jiro is as practical as he can manage to be, but often tries too hard to be clever, at the expense of success. Intricacy is his academic fetish, even while he knows that simplicity rules the battlefield. In his personal life, Jiro is reserved. He lets studies supersede his social life, and his interpersonal skills have been stymied somewhat by this priority. He is not a mean boy, or cold, but is frugal with his words and prefers to listen than speak. He does not guard his feelings, but they expose themselves in naturally subtle ways, and while he does not feel affection any less strongly than his peers, he expresses it without fanfare.

Jiro is highly idealistic. He wants to follow his moral code to the best of his abilities, and is afraid of the inevitable choice he will have to make between ninja duty and his own ethics. He has no particular love for the Leaf Village: it is his home, but not as exceptional as many claim it to be. He will give his life to protect it, and wishes to see it flourish through his service as ninja, but cannot rouse the same patriotism he has seen. Jiro, above all, wants to ensure happiness throughout the world, to help the world achieve lasting and perfect tranquility through whatever means present themselves.

History: Jiro wanted to be a ninja since he was very young. A catalyst is hard to pinpoint, the allure of ninjahood being strong since as long as he could remember, but Jiro would identify his family’s vacation to a rustic hot springs a turning point in his life, his journey bringing him face to face with the devastated wasteland which hosted the climax of the Fourth Great Ninja War. He had never really understood what power meant, what humans in the world could accomplish, and what they could destroy. The sight filled his 5-year-old mind with fear, and envy, and ambition, and sadness beyond his years.

His parents supported his decision. Jiro had never shown interest in metalworking, and ninja could earn good livings without much danger, in times of peace. Jiro neglected to tell his parents that he would aim for the highest echelons of power, rather than contenting himself to a career of chuunin-level security and manual labor. In his first year at the academy, Jiro discovered he was blessed with a Bloodline Limit: the Magnet Release. He still remembers the realization that he was blessed as the happiest day of his life. His luck drove him to redouble his efforts, and with a life of work that occasionally bordered on asceticism Jiro graduated in the top percentiles of his class.

Jiro used his ninja access to the best of his abilities, learning what he could about ninjas, and specifically about his own powers. He learned that one of the Kazekage supposedly learned the technique, rather than being born with it. This revelation drove him deep into the sciences of the ninja world. His fascination has continued throughout his life, in science, and the obscure secrets of Sealcraft.

Weapons/Items:
Jiro believes in always being prepared. This is one of the reasons he was so drawn to Sealcraft. Jiro carries with him a wide variety of sealing scrolls of his own design, many of which seal within them additional sealing scrolls. Within his containers, Jiro holds the totality of his Sealcraft creations: tags of all types: flash, explosive, smoke, sound, even some experiments at the manipulation of more advanced forms of chakra. Perhaps more importantly are the piles of ammunition for Jiro’s magnet powers: Small cones, long rods and bullets of all kinds, in addition to kunai, wire and shuriken.

Kekkei Genkai: Magnet Release

Traits/Abilities of Kekkei Genkai:



Canon Jutsu: Academy Jutsus

Custom Jutsu:
Name of Technique: Magnet Release: Acceleration

Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu

Rank: Variable

Range: Short

Nature Type: Magnet

Handseals: Bird

Description: Jiro’s signature technique, and the focus of the lion’s share of his personal study. With this technique, Jiro may impart force on metal object. Iron and its derivatives are the easiest to control, but Jiro is capable of manipulating any metal with sufficient chakra control and force. Jiro may determine how much chakra to use on the technique: the magnitude of the acceleration is determined by the rate of chakra expenditure, and it continued only as long as chakra is fed into the jutsu. The technique uses chakra in surprising efficiency, and with Jiro’s control is expended almost directly in accordance with the amount of kinetic energy imparted. The acceleration is easiest when applied directly away from Jiro, but he can impart acceleration in any direction, even on isolated parts of a metal object. His control dictates the minimum size of the object or region he can control, and must use the jutsu on each region individually. His control has let him manipulate objects as small as one centimeter squared, on his best days.

Weakness: Since he can only manipulate one region at a time, and he can only cast the jutsu on one object at a time, he is unable to manipulate multiple objects. The jutsu’s defensive capabilities are further weakened by visual contact being all but necessary for Jiro, though he suspects with sufficient skill and chakra control he would be able to do without. The rate of possible chakra expenditure is not known to Jiro: if there is a limit, he has not yet. However, after endowing an object with approximately 20,000 joules, the cost per additional joule increases geometrically.
