Name: Utakata
Rank: Genin
Allegiance: Rogue Ninja
Elemental Affinity: Water
Combative Affinity: Ninjutsu
Personality: Utakata is described as a "charming" individual. In the anime, where Utakata's character is given a bit more depth, he is usually depicted with a stoic, calm and carefree personality, preferring solitude and is not particularly talkative. Although, if the sensitive subject of student-master relationships is brought up, it typically manages to rouse his annoyance and anger. Hotaru is often on the receiving end of Utakata's ire on this matter as she constantly nags him to become her "master" (師匠, shishō).
As a result of his complicated relationship with his late master, he utterly despises the word, having remarked that he isn't foolish enough to ever take on the title. In one instance, he said, "I told you not to call me master", to Hotaru as he floated away in a bubble. Hotaru's unyielding attachment and reverence to Utakata flusters him. Despite Utakata's genuine protective feelings for Hotaru, they are hard for him to acknowledge and express due to his nomadic nature and scarring past, though he acts on them if ever Hotaru is in danger. When Hotaru showed Utakata the kinjutsu that had been sealed into her, he visibly displayed anger and outrage that someone would do something like that. He also has a strong sense of honour, often determined to repay his debts to others (like his assuming a guardian role to Hotaru since she and Tonbee saved him). Like Naruto, he has resolved not to rely on his tailed beast for power, aware of the destruction it may cause, an indicator of his maturity. Tonbee also commented that Utakata lacked "greed". Interestingly, Utakata seemed to have a better relationship with his tailed beast than most, as he could ask it to fully release its power without it forcefully overtaking Utakata's consciousness. Saiken accomplished only the task wished by Utakata and receded into him without any resistance.
Physical Description:
Age: 15
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 145 lbs
Appearance: Utakata is a tall, thin young man with pale golden eyes and black hair that reaches to his shoulders. His side parting lets a large portion of his bangs cover the left side of his face. He wears a long, light blue kimono adorned with a small emblem of three bubbles on the back, and a pair of black pants underneath, with an orange sash. The kimono hangs loose, exposing his chest. In it, he carries a bamboo jug filled with a soap solution, and a pipe.
In the anime where his background is expounded on, it is shown that during his time in Kirigakure he wore a full body grey suit along with a variant of the village's flak jacket which had very low shoulder guards as well as a zipper and a pouch on the upper right chest. He also wore the village's forehead protector, fingerless gloves, as well as bandages on his forearms.
Biography: Prior to the events of the Tsuchigumo Kinjutsu Arc, Utakata promised himself to never use Saiken's power and trained with his master Harusame. Eventually, Utakata would come to claim that Harusame betrayed him, almost taking his life, for the tailed beast's power.
According to a member of Kirigakure's ANBU, his master did not, in fact, betray him, but was actually trying to extract Saiken from Utakata. The process didn't go as planned, and instead of removing the tailed beast, Harusame forced Utakata's transformation into Saiken and was killed by it. With only fragmented memories of the incident and the impression of betrayal, Utakata grew disillusioned and sceptical of the relationship between a master and student. He became a wanderer, constantly fighting off people who were after him, particularly the hunter-nin sent from Kirigakure to retrieve him.
One day, he was attacked again. A girl named Hotaru, who happened to be there, assumed the assailants were after her. Utakata managed to fend off his attackers, but was injured in the process. Believing that Utakata had saved her, Hotaru took him to her family's fort for treatment. After he recovered, Hotaru begged him to train her in his ninjutsu, but Utakata adamantly refused, not wanting to become anyone's master.
RP Sample: Utakata stood in a grassy flat plane with the wind gently breezing in his face as he heard the sound of footsteps approaching behind him. He knew who it was, the Kirigakure anbu. So he quietly pulled out his bubbler and shot 10 explosive bubbles at the anbu and created a bubble that carried him up in the air. He then silently gathered his bijuu chakra around him and jumped back down as he started tearing through the anbu members with sheer brute force and water ninjutsu. He finally then ran into the woods behind the plane and hid as the anbu quickly followed him. So he shot acid filled bubbles at the anbu which melted half of them and sent the rest back so he took this opening and dissapeared into the town up ahead and disguised himself as a simple townsfolk. He then resided there for a week before he went back to search for the anbu. he went back and saw only the dead bodies and no sign of any other shinobi in the woods so he continued on his journey through the woods and across the planes......
