Naruto: Bastion Of The Granite Guard

That said, it was a pretty good post too. Drummer, I'm gonna write a personnel file on Kanajiro and I'll include your character due to the rivalry. I'll have to be creative a bit so if I'm done I'll post here telling you it's done, so you can read it and give me feedback in PM's or in here.

Known history and secrets

---

Personality: Kanajiro is a quite kind and friendly boy, often voicing his trust and likeness for his fellow teammates. On the other hand, he can be ruthless, aggressive and deadly in battle and outside of battle -- this seemingly comes from the Hanamoto clan genetics as most of his clan members share this trait. As the clan leader of this moment, he is expected to be quite a fierce leader however he has stated numerous time he also expects his fellow clan members to act individually. This stems from his absolute qualifications to be a leader, yet somewhat depressing lack of comfortability with this task. Never the less, he has vowed to be the best leader he can be -- kind and generous, and ruthless and brutal to anyone that crosses the clan.

History: Kanajiro comes from an interesting line of Shinobi -- his father is the curreny daimyó of the Country of Fire, and therefore was forced to resign as the clan leader of the Hanamoto people. Kanajiro, being his heir, took over this position at the young age of 14. Before this, he was mostly spending his days training in combat as it wasn't expected of him to be a leader just quite yet -- they made him take a crash course in leadership, political knowledge and the ins and outs of the current situation in the world. This made Kanajiro realize that there is only 1 thing that everyone should know -- the idealism of realism. Idealisms were found everywhere nowadays, but not enough people were realistic. Kanajiro vowed to change that, as well as share the Hanamoto idealism with everyone that was willing to learn.

Ever since that day he was aiming for peace, advocating the alliance between Sunagakure and Iwagakure as the perfect example. As much as these two villages were different, they had an alliance which was somewhat uneasy. But still -- they were working together. Kanajiro also realized that in order to be realistic, you have to sacrifice your idealisms sometimes, stating once in a public speech to all of the Hanamoto clan, both young and old; “The Hanamoto clan has always aimed for peace and advocated it to the Tsuchikage, and in that I pride myself. However, we must realize that in order for peace to be attained we have to sacrifice our want for peace -- as illogical as this sounds. There will always be people opposing peace simply because of their nature of aggressiveness and ruthlessness. None the less, they should be countered with the violence with which they oppose us. That is simply the way of the Hanamoto. Strife for peace -- destroy those who oppose it.” He was met by a deafening cheer for his speech -- the Hanamoto clan had whole heartedly agreed to his speech, and even his father, the Daimyó, who had been invited to see what his son had become, could not stop himself from applauding. This perfectly sums up the Hanamoto clan -- people who strife for peace in the most realistic manner possible -- with violence. But Kanajiro didn't seem happy. He wanted more than this -- he wanted the world.

Clan: the most honorable Hanamoto clan.

Dreams and aspirations: His dream is about world-wide peace, whatever he needs to do to achieve this is what he will do -- unknown to anyone is just how far this goes. Amongst his other dreams are to create a professional shinobi academy that bears his clan name -- the Hanamoto Academy for Shinobi and Peace. Here he wishes to teach physical classes, including but not limited to, ninjutsu, taijutsu, weaponry, shuriken and kunai marksmanship. Another part of the academy would be mental classes -- these are the ones he deems the most important. Classes would include combat tactics, political knowledge, 'the balance of Power', chakra-studies and teaching about the Shinobi way. He has started saving money for this academy using Hanamoto clan funds, but nobody knows about this.

General strengths: Head-on combat, taijutsu expert and manipulating from behind the scenes. He is good at hiding the very negatively conceived emotions (anger, fear, etc.) but that is something that most Hanamoto's share. He can rally people for a single cause, such as war or peace. He is also quite good off using weapons in combat, despite not owning or carrying any.

General weaknesses: He's a bad shot with kunai and shuriken, doesn't know much about genjutsu (aside from the basic info) and is very bad at being pushed into the defense due to his aggressive combat style. If you push him back by overwhelming him with two people at once using aggressive styles as well (so he has to defend) he'll be off worse and will require help.

---

Combat intel:

---

Known chakra natures: Fire.

Kekkei Genkei: None. He feels some resentfulness towards anyone with a kekkei genkai.

Skill Specialization: Good endurance for taking hits. (Meaning: he can take a lot of punches, kicks and stabbings but will continue to get up to keep fighting.)

---

Jutsu's that (s)he has shown capable of using

---

Canon:

KATON: Great Fireball Jutsu!

Custom:

Name: KATON: Scorching Hands Jutsu!
Kind Of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu.
Range: Very close.
Rank: Available from on rank C, however power increases as the user does. It can easily be used in a rank A context, but for Kanajiro it's currently a rank C technique.
Nature: Katon.
Handseals: Tiger, ram, tiger, ram.
Description: The user flicks his hands after forming the seals, which will start heating up his hands, eventually setting them into flames. For a user like Kanajiro, this will take about a minute before it's usage-ready. For a more powerful shinobi of Jonin-levels it can be instantaneous. The technique can then be used to enhance the taijutsu of the user, allowing them to 'hit' without touching the opponent as the heat is enough to severely burn them. It does require the user to have his hands 'fly by' the target relatively close, so it can't be used to hurt people from miles away. Despite that, the best usage is to simply hit as you would normally, as that gives even more power to the flames -- scorching the target. The emanated heat and thus the burn will increase as the user increases it's power.
Weakness: Water. Also, dodging it. If you use water on it, it'll be unavailable for usage until the hand has dried up -- logically and unpractical for the user of the technique.

Equipment Info

---

Shown weapons:
Name: Ninja Tools
Description: These are naturally the shinobi tools that every shinobi has -- though he rarely uses the kunai and shuriken, he like to have explosive tags around.

Personal files for: Kanajiro Hanamoto

---

Full name: Kanajiro Hanamoto.

Nicknames: 'Young Master'

Family:

• Gaito Hanamoto
- 64 years old, Daimyo of the Fire Country. No contact with the rest of the clan, except for the occasional visit. Very formal relationships with his clan. Kanajiro's father.

• Daisuke Hanamoto
- Kanajiro's cousin, though they are often mistaken for brothers. Daisuke is somewhat the exact opposite of Kanajiro, atleast combat wise. Daisuke seems a bit more rational and thoughtful than Kanajiro, but at the same time lacks any sort of fire and drive that Kanajiro has so much of.

• Rei 'Hanamoto'
- Rei is an adoptive member of the clan and is a non-shinobi that has practiced shinobi in the past. She is proficient in the day-to-day leading of the clan and has been instilled by Kanajiro the power with which to do so. She also has some skills with the ink type of jutsus.

• Nayome 'Hanamoto
- Kanajiro's (deceased) mother. A true prodigy of her kind, specialising in a mixture of nin and taijutsu. Much of his skills are 'inherited' from her and this has led other to see him as a sort of prodigy, just like her. However, he lacks much of the skills that his mother had, such as insight and the ability to hold back at times. Kanajiro misses her very much, but is too proud to admit it.

• Suki Hanamoto
- Kanajiro's 13 year old sister and the reason of his mother's death. Nayome died during birth, but Kanajiro finds himself not blaming Suki as others would. Rather, he sees this as his mothers rebirth and a reason to help Suki become even stronger. Despite his constant attempt to get her motivated, she lacks the motivation to become stronger. Never the less she has great potential.

Suki

Interests: Combat, fights, politics, death.

Likes: Taking walks, training with Daisuke or other family members, teaching and training his sister.

Dislikes: Being bored, meeting boring clan heads for political reasons, having to abide etiquette, his sister having no motivation.

Catchphrase: “To meet is the beginning of parting.” Referring to the idea that everyone dies at some point.

Personal relationships with others

Daisuke Hanamoto

History with Daisuke Hanamoto

---

Daisuke is Kanajiro's 1 year older cousin, who is an expert in defense. They've been through a lot, and Kanajiro was one of the people testing him during his 'inauguration' ceremony making him an honorable part of the family. Kanajiro himself was one of the last to remain standing together with another Hanamoto, and he can honestly say he didn't hold back. Daisuke stood his ground and that was it. Ever since then they've been more like brothers than cousins, and Kanajiro often asked his advice on family matters.

That aside, they've been in classes together where they worked together in many class assignments. This lead to many people referring to them as the Hanamoto duo, or otherwise the Aggressively Defensive Combo. While they can both hold their own in personal combat, and matter of fact likely will come out on top most of the times, together they are a force to be reckoned with due to the way their combo works. While Kanajiro is mostly offensive, he can take a lot of hits. On the other hand, while Daisuke is mostly defensive, he can switch this up rather quickly by using the naginata. As such, they're efficient.

Opinion on Daisuke Hanamoto

---

Kanajiro values Daisuke highly, seeing him as a brother of sorts and disregarding the fact that he isn't a head branch member (yet). There will be a day that he'll release Daisuke from the curse of being a sidebranch member, giving him the rights to do more stuff such as marrying within the family itself to keep the bloodline pure, having his children be head branch members from birth, to more practical rights such as simply being allowed to live in the main estate and not having to do chores around the clan grounds.

If Daisuke keeps up the good work and keeps a positive bond between the two, Kanajiro will likely offer him a position within the Hanamoto University of Shinobi arts as a defense teacher, though the school is still being built and nobody really knows of these plans yet.

Ruri Zuodian

History with Ruri Zuodian

---

Kanajiro was always 'stuck' with Ruri -- she was quite the oppressive little lady and Kanajiro often found himself being forced by her to oblige by her games. He found himself mostly winning these games however, and soon enough she started noticing that and turning the games on him, making him lose and stuff like that. Despite that, Kanajiro quickly grew fond of her despite her rude and un-ladylike behavior at times. She was something of a wild child while Kanajiro was naturally calm and friendly, or at the very least appearing as such.

However once they both got to be of age, playing times got cut and Kanajiro found himself mostly training, reading ancient books or leading the clan. Meanwhile, Ruri seemed to be doing mostly studying, learning etiquette and .. training to be a shinobi. Because of her education however she wasn't really trained in the teamwork, something that shone through when she had to escape the training and constant servants bothering her. She was most unfriendly and brutish in grabbing his attention, not realizing that just asking him to make some time would be enough -- she'd often barge in in the middle of a training, a conversation or even a dinner to grab him and force him to comply. While at times Kanajiro found this annoying, he quickly got used to it and would comply because she was quite easy to satisfy. Just tell her she was magnificent, beautiful and perfect in all the ways you could imagine and she'd let him go. Sometimes.

Lately, the education got even harder as exams were coming up. Kanajiro passed without much trouble and Ruri did as well, both earning a high mark and a specific mark of excellence from the Tsuchikage, which was essentially the mark that would make them Granite Guard recruits. However, at the time, they didn't know this. But the months before the exams were mostly spent studying and perfecting the required techniques as well as simply training, for the both of them. Despite Kanajiro's efforts to get Ruri to train together with him, her father spent most of his time trying to block connections between the two of them believing Kanajiro to be a bad influence and the reason for her rebellious personality, so they never got the chance to train together.

However this doesn't mean the Hanamoto's and Zuodians don't get along, rather the contrary as Ruri's father is the one that's in charge of building the new building next to the Hanamoto estate. That said the Hanamoto's are influential enough to be a good strong rival for the Zuodians, similar to the way Hyuga and Uchiha were rivals in Konoha. Never quite at war, but always some tensions between the two of them, a rivalry so to speak. Because of that it is in Ruri's fathers best interest to keep the Hanamoto's as friends, because the Hanamoto's are traditionally shinobi were as the Zuodians aren't.

Opinion on Ruri Zuodian

---

Kanajiro feels a strange friendship towards Ruri. Where as most of the people, including his cousin, find her obnoxious, pretentious and snobby, Kanajiro has come to understand her reasonings for rebelling against everything and everyone. He won't go out of his way to convince others that she is, really, quite an alright person however. He believes strongly that Ruri can fend for herself and will find out soon enough that this attitude of hers will do more damage than good. Never the less she doesn't seem to care much about this.

At times she can very much so annoy Kanajiro by calling him names, being rude and harsh on him and dragging him on to do things he doesn't want to do, he does believe her way of saying goodbye to him says enough -- the sudden change from Ruri being a bad, loud mouthed girl to somewhat 'kind' in a strange way. He also feels sort of sorry for her being stuck with her father, who doesn't come across as very nice to Kanajiro. He hasn't seen them argue behind the scenes but he has seen the occasional red cheek from being slapped during their childhood. He never really voiced his opinion on this matter as he prefers to keep to Hanamoto affairs and not that of the Zuodians, but he's pretty sure that Ruri knows Kanajiro isn't fond of her father very much.

Reiji Higashi

History with Reiji Higashi

---

Reiji has been Kanajiro's rival for a long time, ever since they both were in the same class. Kanajiro believes it's due to Reiji's tendencies to see any outsider clan as a bad clan out of his insecurities. Well, that, and jealousness due to Kanajiro being the clan head already while Reiji is stuck being an heir. Whenever they got in an argument, Kanajiro made sure to shove this in his face in attempts to enrage Reiji.

However, despite all this, they share some aspects of their personalities. Kanajiro isn't one to say much either, and neither of them are selfish or act like brats, though Reiji might say that Kanajiro does act like a brat. And other things, such as being pretentious. Besides the occasional argument, in which the class divided amongst the two of them to form sides, the most being with Kanajiro because of Reiji's anti social tendencies, they have very little history and just rivalry.

Opinion on Reiji Hagashi

---

He views Reiji as what he is -- an heir to a rival family, and a rival of Kanajiro personally. Due to that he prefers to avoid him when possible because he's just a bother, something that keeps him from doing what he likes. However when they get forced to be together, he isn't afraid of the confrontation but never starts it himself. He has never voiced it but he's interested in battling him in order to 'take the Hagashi family' although he would never fully take it. Likely he'd try to either incorporate them into the Hanamoto clan as a branch family and letting them keep their specific traditions to themselves, or he'd simply toss them aside and let Reiji be the leader. However this is all just speculations and he'd need to beat Reiji first.

That aside he has a specific annoyance with Reiji because he posesses a kekkei genkai. Normally this isn't too much of a problem, such as with Ruri, where he simply regards it as 'a natural advantage that can always be overcome by sheer power' but with Reiji he sees it as a manner through which they attempt to show others that they are special and powerful. However Kanajiro believes that the Hanamoto clan is the opposite of these clans, in the manner that they didn't need a kekkei genkai to become powerful and simply rose through the ranks of influence by becoming more and more powerful. Therefore this is another reason for Kanajiro to see him as a rival -- to prove that you don't need kekkei genkai's to be powerful, but that you simply need power and strength.

Hayashi Junnimaru

History with Hayashi Junnimaru

---

Ever since first meeting, the Junnimaru and the Hanamoto clans have agreed to remain allies. This was all before Iwagakure even took both clans in, when most clans were still wandering or living in their own small villages. Even when the clans both settled in Iwagakure, they remained friends. There is a reason why the Junnimaru mansion and the Hanamoto estate and grounds are so close together. Because of this Kanajiro and Hayashi spent some time together as children -- ranging from playing together, to training together and soon enough sitting next to eachother in class. They're sort of friends -- neither of them sees eachother as a real friend but both acknowledge that they're more than just people that know eachother.

Kanajiro has learnt much from his sparrings with Hayashi, and whether or not Hayashi likes to admit it or not, Kanajiro has taught him some tricks as well. This has led to them being quite evenly matched, and even though they've never managed to finish a fight fully, one of them always had a new trick up their sleeve to get them an upper hand. However after some time they'd still end up in a deadlock -- something strange to Kanajiro as he is quite used to winning when fighting someone that's not Daisuke. Though Kanajiro knows that Hayashi is simply very strong and probably as much of a natural genius as Kanajiro himself is, he likes to blame the steel release kekkei genkai for 'this unfair advantage.' Unlike with Reiji, this doesn't come in the way of the relationship as he treats it more as a slick remark rather than a full-blown insult, but still it chews at Kanajiro that the boy has a kekkei genkai.

Opinion on Hayashi Junnimaru

---

Kanajiro sees Hayashi as a valuable ally, a good teammate and a very solid teamplayer. Their matching styles only further this view and Kanajiro believes that they'd be capable of decimating an entire enemy force before being taken down. While there is only slight differences in style -- Hayashi uses a much more defensive way of being aggressive by using the characteristic boxing style 'float like a butterfly' while Kanajiro simply takes a hit by being more resilient -- Kanajiro definetely sees his style as a better style and often makes friendly fun of him for being a defensive aggressor. This has lead to both Kanajiro and Hayashi pushing eachother to the limit to prove that they are the more aggressive and ruthless one out of the two -- constantly trying to outdo the other in matters of aggressiveness. In short, if Kanajiro rushes into a fight you can be sure that Hayashi will follow and vice versa.

Naruto: Bastion Of The Granite Guard

Kami Suugo

---

Kami watched as the two of them jumped down the ravine, followed by the three genin on the other side following suit. Surely, this would end badly for the two genin. But seemingly Ayumi got the drop on one of the twins, whom was now gargling on her own blood slowly dying from 'drowing in her own blood.' And she said something about being from Kirigakure. Kami's mind wondered if she might've been the one to steal the puppets but he quickly righted himself. She'd have been a 8 year old carrying the puppets, which was basically impossible.

After the short exchange of combat and words at the bottom of the ravine, Kami looked over at their jonin. It seemed now was the time to show Ayumi and Kyou what he could do, and what had earned him the title of Granite Guard. He pulled out a scroll, laid it down on the floor and bit his thumb before smacking it on the scroll. A poof, and a figure appearing within it. After the smoke settled one could see Kami had already attached the chakra strings which came from his fingers. The Sebaru Markor puppet, one of his best at this moment. Or well, it was also his only remaining puppet from the conflict against Kirigakure which had seemed to have taken a bit of a slowdown lately as both villages recuperated their losses. The Sebaru puppet, based after the Tsuchikage, looked exactly alike and even had the same build as the Tsuchikage.

But Kami wouldn't waste time adoring his puppet -- he sprung into action and made his puppet jump over the ravine, crossing a distance of +-20 meters in one go. The jonin laughed. “FIGHT ME WITH A PUPPET? ARE YOU A GIRL?!” he shouted. But the puppet had moved in fast, and swung up his leg towards the jonins face. He moved one of his hands to the puppet's leg, catching it. And now he'd learn the power of Sebaru Markor. The shockwave generators kicked in and the following shockwave would've been enough to normally cause an earthquake. But the power went through the Jonins body instead, sending him flying off to the right. He hit a tree, and then another, and then another. What followed could be quite detrimental to the people in the ravine, however, as the shockwave had seemingly escaped into the ground a bit as well. Slowly the edges of the ravine crumbled, and Kami quickly pulled Sebaru back to a safer position.

But the ravines edges cracked and big stones and large collections of earth flew towards the people in the ravine. Perhaps fighting at the bottom of a ravine, with no plan, and no knowledge of eachothers power, was not such a good idea.

At the bottom of the ravine however, the remaining twin girl and Goga-san stood across the two Iwagakure nin. And they didn't seem too happy, what with the gurgling, dying twin at the center of the group. The girl crossed her fingers and started up a technique. “Morphing technique!” she yelled, which sounded more like a screech from a 14 year old girl. Her eyes had become twisted and angry, most likely due to her sister being killed. The technique morphed her body, and while there wasn't much shape to it at first, you could quickly make out she had morphed into a gigantic wolf. Meanwhile, Goga-san stood by watching the two of them, maintaining his cool composure and making sure to look calm and cool.

But by now they'd spotted the falling rocks and dirt and quickly moved -- instead of running or jumping to the side though they jumped up, using the falling dirt as plateau's to climb higher and higher. After they'd reached the 'end of the rock-fall' they'd jump forwards, going in for an attack at the same time. Goga-san prepared a kunai with an explosive tag attached to it and threw it at Ayumi, exploding it when it came near, while the twin girl, who had morphed into a wolf, jumped to Kyou and landed near her, immediatly snapping her jaws at Kyou and attempting to bite her arm.

Kanajiro Hanamoto

---

Suddenly the sensei appeared and she did some basic introductions. It seemed she was a medical and taijutsu expert -- a combo that wasn't uncommon. But to be a Granite Guard she'd have to be stronger than your average medical nin. It wasn't crazy to assume therefore that she had a few taijutsu tricks up her sleeve. “I'm not a little leader.” Kanajiro answered, flashing an annoyed look at Kariru while he let himself be healed. He could feel the bruisings and the soreness dissapearing, but he felt as if he should slap her hand away for not asking him if she could heal them.

“And my biggest mistake was that I didn't burn down the tree you were hiding in. You could've atleast told me that Hayashi would be going to attack me.” He said all this with a rather annoyed voice. “Another mistake was not ending the fight when I could've, instead dragging it out longer to have some fun with Hayashi. If I ended it right there and then we would've been done sooner.” He seemed somewhat self assured that he could've won this fight, but he recognised that Hayashi was probably thinking the same. Truth be told, they both had had moments where they could've ended it, but where they just didn't or chose not to. It seems like that'd be a stupid thing to do in real fights. He continued looking at Kariru as he got healed, waiting for the reaction she'd inevitably give him. And because sensei's were always predictable, she'd probably ask Hayashi what mistakes he had made, too.
