Code:
Village:Suna
Fighting Style: Saboten has no definite discipline that he was taught, using a street fighting style. Primarily straight forward punches, elbows, and some knee. Saboten is not opposed to fighting dirty. He prefers to use long knives and kunai with a underhand hold, concealing it in his sleeve or behind his forearm till the last moment. He can’t throw shuriken very well and throws kunai like throwing knives, holding the tip of the blade.
Weapons:
Jutsu's:
Japanese Name (Fuuton: Eafoosu Yadama) - English Name (Wind element: Air Force Projectile)
Rank: C
Range: 10 meters
How it works: Saboten sticks out his index and middle fingers using the chakra opening in each finger to spin together fuuton chakra in a drill-like form which he can fire at an enemy. The projectile is generally invisible but when fire it is possible to see a ripple is the air, smoke bombs also make it possible to see. It is very fast. It takes Saboten three seconds to charge but he can use either or both hands. The effect of this is a clean precise hole about a half-inch in diameter often going straight through a person. It can go through hard wood and bone and at point-blank range can damage certain metals.

Personality:
Saboten is generally happy, the kind of happy that causes a sly smirk to appear. He’s very thingyy and egotistical. He is calm and cool in the sense that he thinks clearly and doesn’t freak out in most any situation but that also makes him lazy. He is capable of working tirelessly but has to have inspiration to do so, generally something along the lines of say he can’t do something or the like. He is ill mannered and ill tempered. He’s extremely independent and can often make himself an island, gets pissed off when others offer help to him since he thinks they think he’s weak. He’s often rebellious in a smart-(edit)alec and joking sort of way, oppose teachers and other authority figures without fear. He can often be apathetic to just about anything do to his cold upbringing. His favorite things are women, money, and himself.
Age:18
Rank:Chuunin
Fears:
Past Up Till Now: Saboten’s lineage lies in the desert itself. The blood of the deserts native runs deep and pure in his veins. His family was of the ancient nomads were ravaged for many years by disease and harsh treatment. The newcomers thought they were uncivilized because of their culture that coexisted with nature and so used them like animals to perform backbreaking labor. Years later this treatment was outlawed but not enforced. There was still underground slave trade and much discrimination. That discrimination carried on for many years afterwards and results in the few surviving members to lie on the bottom of the lowest class of society. Saboten never knew his parents. His mother was very young when she gave birth to him and abandons him on the streets of Suna. Every moment of Saboten’s childhood was a fight for survival he learn to fight off the streets and learned to kill.
At six he started a gang of his own, of orphans like himself. The first was Genjin (Caveman). He was the one who named Saboten and Saboten named him. The second was named Hogi (twig) for his very tall thin body. The third to enter the gang was Hana (flower), a very attractive tomboy. The fourth was a baby that Saboten rescued after his mother was killed by thugs; Saboten named him Futaba (bud, sprout). The fifth and probably the most unusual of the gang is Kumori (cloudiness, shadow), who pocesses an unusually bloodline ability that caused him to be as outcast. He was saved from being killed by villagers, thinking he was a monster.
At the age of eight he became involve in underground dealing and did contracts with other gangs, crime bosses, drug dealers, and even those on the high life to smuggle, pick pocket, and steal various rare or priceless items all to stay alive by turning a buck and gain the favor of those with power. After a while he began to enjoy these tasks and errands, savoring the adrenaline rush and looking for more challenging and dangerous tasks. At the age of ten he took a job to steal from the Kazekage himself, he did it successfully but was set up by the person who made the order and was turned over to the ninja who made the scar in his hands and brought him in front of the Kazekage for his punishment. Instead of a punishment the Kazekage realized Saboten’s raw talent and forced his to enroll into the ninja academy. His gang also chose to enroll.
Though extremely talented in chakra control and logic Saboten had no interest in becoming a ninja. He learned little to nothing from his teachers, only taking what he deemed would be useful to him. He was always disruptive in class and had no respect for the teachers. He didn’t bother learning the Henge as well as the core martial forms. He had a firm grasp on stealth and fight from being raised on the streets. When he agreed to be a ninja he though as soon as he pass he was free to do whatever but as he progress he learn that when he became genin he would, in his word, be “The Kazekage’s lap dog”. Learning this did not help his work ethics either. He failed several exams till the Kazekage said that he had to pass an exam of his design and failure would mean he would be held accountable for his misdeeds. He was to spar against a full fledged genin; Saboten passed with ease.
Saboten formed a team with Kumori and Genjin since he usually refused to work with anyone but people from his crew. He was more successful on difficult missions then simple ones since he hated the stupid here-and-there jobs that were so often assigned to genin.
He was very excited about the Chuunin exams when his team was allowed to enter them; a chance to be better respected, to show how great he was to the ninja world, and to be totally rid of the stupid boring missions. He trained constantly till the faithful day that it all paid off.
Family:Estranged
RP Skills: Saboten’s keys jingle as he pulls them from his pocket with one hand, the other hand holds a bag of groceries. He unlocks the door to his apartment and attempts to open the door. It only opens a few inches before stopping with a thud. Saboten presses his body against the door in an attempt to force it open, but to no avail. He gives up with a sigh, starts to close the door. Then, suddenly he whips around and kicks it hard with the flat of his boot. The door swings the few inches and hits the obstruction behind the door with force that rattles the door. With an ouch and a bit of grumbling the door opens. The frame of the boy behind it almost overlaps the door frame. “Sooorryy Saabooten-saan.” He rubs his brown mop of a head with a humongous hand. Saboten looks up at one off his oldest friend and smiles. If Genjin had grown a boil on the back of his head you would not be able to tell which way he was facing. Genjin steps aside to let Saboten in.
“You know you should really stop falling asleep in front of the door” He walks into the apartment.
“Yaaah, Iii gueesss” He closes the door and follows Saboten. It was quit late, and all the lights were off except in the kitchen. There was a small table at which there were six miss-matched chairs crowded around. There was two people already seat at the table, a girl with short cut hair and a twiggy boy with a Mohawk that was combed to one side. They both watch quietly as Saboten and Genjin took their seats. Saboten places his hat on the table.
“So how close are you all to graduating?” Hana puts her hands together.
“Me and Hogi are just learning Henge.” Hogi smiles,
“I did really well on the projectile exam.” Saboten turns to look at Genjin.
“And you?”
“Iii’m having sooome diffficuulty with the Juutsuu.” Hogi chimes in
“But he’s the best in taijutsu in our class.” Hana rolls her eyes.
“Can’t imagine how.” There was a knock on the wall in the hallway outside the kitchen. The group turns to look at the source. A small figure in a trench coat a huge sunglasses looks back at them lurking in the shadow, out of reach of the kitchen light. A pale hand reaches up and lifts the glasses slightly, just enough that Saboten could make out the pearly black eyes behind. A symphony a voices comes into his head, skipping the eyes all together. Since Kumori didn’t have his own voice he used other people’s, piecing together words and phrases that he heard into sentences.
“I’M DoINg FaiRLy wEll”
“good” Kumori fades back into the darkness. “And how is Futaba doing?” They all walk into the small bedroom and turn off the lights in the light in the darkness they walk over to the smallest bed. Hana bends down and rubs the child’s head softly as not to wake him.
“He’s the best in his class.” Saboten smirks as he looks down on the tiny figure, he expected nothing less “You should really be a better example for him.”
“If he’s the best in his class what does it matter?”
“He really idolizes you, the least you could do is somewhat fulfill his beliefs in you.”
Saboten removes his doo-rag and runs his fingers through his hair. “Yeah I guess.”

Now:
(none of this is mandatory)Friends:
- Genjin: an unusually large man often thought to be stupid because he speaks very slowly. He is about 6’9” and 256lbs of muscle; he’s also two years older then Saboten.
- Hogi: He is 5’9” and about 105lbs; he has a long Mohawk that he combs to the side.
- Hana: Her hair is almost at a boyish length and is a bronze color though is obviously a girl by her wearing a skirt and her shapely body. She is about 5’5” and 110lbs. She really quite resents the name they gave her, it was a joke to them since she was no where near to being a flower when they found her.
- Futaba: He has scruffy thick brown hair cut short. Well tanned about 3’4”. Incredibly talented for his age and idolizes Saboten.
- Kumori: He stands at 3’5” almost completely covered from head to tow by a long high collared black trench coat and wears big black leather combat boots and is suspected to be bald but this is impossible to tell as his head is always wrap by white strips of cloth. He also always wears black sunglasses that cover all the way around his eyes because he is extremely sensitive to light, as is his skin; he is also a mute but can communicate through Genjutsu , usually only to Saboten.
