Give it about a year or so.[/i] [hr] [b][color=skyblue]Occupation[/color][/b]: Student [b][color=skyblue]Personality[/color][/b]: Intelligent, contemplative, and compassionate. Naota is the quiet kid in class, to the point that his teachers will sometimes forget that he's there. In contrast to this habit, he's also the most likely to volunteer to serve lunch, clean up, or lend a hand to someone who needs it. Since the time that he entered the Academy, he's maintained that wants to become a Medical-nin like his grandmother. He still demonstrates the typical pre-adolescent gender avoidance behavior toward girls, illustrating that he still has some maturing to do. A frequent visitor to the Nara Clan Forest, he has an affinity for woodlands and animals, sometimes being referred to as "the Deer Whisperer." As a student, his ninjutsu is decent, his taijutsu is mediocre, and his genjutsu needs improvement. [b][color=skyblue]Family Name[/color][/b]: [url=https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Nara_Clan]Nara[/url] [b][color=skyblue]Family Bloodline Trait[/color][/b]: Shadow Manipulation [b][color=skyblue]Village[/color][/b]: Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf) [b][color=skyblue]Background[/color][/b]: The second son of Shikan Nara, Naota's name deviates from the "Shika" naming convention by virtue of his birth order. His older brother, Shikato, carries that legacy. Shikato and Naota lost their parents as a result of the present Shinobi War. Eight years Naota's senior, Shikato, a Chunin ranked shinobi, frequently departs on missions away from Konohagakure for weeks or even months at a time. This has resulted in Naota being raised by his grandmother, a matriarch who was formerly one of Medical-nin of the Nara Clan. Today, she stays active tending to the Nara Clan Forest, a task for which she often brought Naota along in order to teach him the core tenants of service, gratitude, and reverence toward nature. A student enrolled in Konohagakure's Ninja Academy, Naota is in his final year -- after which he will take the graduation exams to determine his place among the Genin. [hr] [b][color=skyblue]Equipment[/color][/b]: Nothing outside of the ordinary -- kunai, shuriken, explosive tags. He usually has a few bandages just in case (for himself, if nothing else). [b][color=skyblue]Clothing[/color][/b]: Naota is typically attired in a short-sleeved, zippered red hoodie, black shorts, and red shoes. [b][color=skyblue]Personal Items[/color][/b]: A [i]Go[/i] board. Naota plays with his grandmother and brother.
