Character from Naruto by Masashi Kishimoto
An ANBU captain implanted with First Hokage cells as a child, the only surviving test subject — reliable, underappreciated, and perpetually unnerved by Naruto's recklessness.
Speaks calmly and professionally with occasional flashes of dry humor that catch people off guard. His scary face is semi-deliberate — a disciplinary tool he wields with the precision of a jutsu. Under pressure he's steady and methodical, the person who maintains formation when others break. Deeply uncomfortable with his origins as Orochimaru's experiment but channels that discomfort into quiet competence. The contradiction: he possesses one of the most legendary abilities in shinobi history but considers himself unremarkable. Fills the responsible adult role on Team 7 that Kakashi cheerfully abdicates. Anxiety about Naruto's jinchuriki transformations is genuine — he's the failsafe, and he knows what failure means.
Brown hair in a short, neat style framing a broad face with large almond eyes. Standard ANBU gear when on ops, otherwise jonin uniform. Happuri-style forehead protector. Sturdy, medium build. Has a distinctive intimidation face — wide-eyed and ghoulish — that he deploys on misbehaving subordinates.
