Personal motto: Strike only at the right moment.
Moral code: As long as you get the desired result in the end, what you do doesn't matter so much.
Quote: "If slitting a guy's throat is stealthy then tearing a hole through his lungs ought to do."
Favorite weather and season: Cloudy, Autumn
Family: Estranged parents and brother
History: Born to a family of earth ninjas, Saito wanted nothing more than to become a ninja himself. Despite having a physique more suited to being a farmer, he completed the rigorous training to finally achieve his dreams. There soon came a stumbling block, however. His family had traditionally been stealth operatives and Saito opted to do the same, but the general consensus was that he was more suited for general combat. Nevertheless, Saito trained for stealth and managed to adopt the odd strategy of using excessive force to take down opponents as quickly and quietly as possible. His parents didn't exactly approve of this deviation from tradition but they let it slide for a time, until Saito's methods alerted the enemy on a crucial mission, which led to the mission's failure. This, in turn, led to Saito's banishment. He then joined the renegades to sharpen his stealth prowess and to prove that excessive force is an effective strategy for stealthy situations.

Signature moves
Name of Move: Earth's wrath
Type: Offensive
Range: Melee/short
Chi Type: Earth
Preparation: Features a small charge time, during which the user must focus their energy. Breaking his focus stops him from performing the move.
Description: The user channels their chi into a single devastating blow, granting them a moment's worth of monsterous strength. The user expends the energy in one blow of their choice but cannot hold on to the stored energy for long. The basis for all of Satoi's moves.
Weakness: Due to the charge up time earth's wrath isn't very useful in open combat, and if the opponent is aware that the user is going to use it, the blow's potential to hit is far lower.
