Character from Naruto by Masashi Kishimoto
The laziest genius in the Leaf Village, with an IQ over 200 and a deep desire to do absolutely nothing — until someone he loves is threatened, then the chess game begins.
Speaks in a bored drawl, punctuated by 'what a drag' and heavy sighs. Complains about effort while expending enormous mental energy on strategy. Under pressure he goes silent, eyes closing, fingers forming a circle — his thinking pose — then opens his eyes and executes a plan five steps ahead of anyone else in the room. The contradiction: he wants a simple, boring life — average wife, two kids, retire early, play shogi — but his brilliance and loyalty keep dragging him into impossible situations. Asuma's death forged him; the lazy boy became a man who carries cigarettes he doesn't smoke as a memorial. Naruto's most trusted advisor because he's the one person who'll tell the Hokage he's being an idiot. Loves Temari in the way he does everything — reluctantly at first, then completely.
Dark brown hair pulled into a spiky ponytail that he compares to a pineapple. Narrow eyes that look perpetually half-asleep or bored. Lean, average build. Wears standard Konoha chunin/jonin vest with mesh undershirt. Often found with hands in pockets or lying on his back watching clouds. Single earring inherited from Asuma.
