PART V
MAITO, Gai
Gai is a Konoha Village jounin and the sensei of the team whose members are Rock Lee, Tenten, and Hyuuga Neji. Like Lee, he is a specialist in hand-to-hand combat or taijutsu, but unlike Lee, he can use ninjutsu or genjutsu.
He and Kakashi are known as eternal rivals, gai is in the lead with 50 wins to 49 losses. Later it becomes known that this is just the score of a rock-paper-scissors game they played when they were kids. He is also a fantastic teacher since he really cares about his students and their feelings, especially Lee. Although he really cares about his students, he is very strict about his rules and those who break them will receive a punishment.
Gai and Lee are very close. Lee is Gai's favorite student because of his nindo, (way of the ninja), and because Lee looks like him in his younger days. Gai is also proud that Lee has mastered the renge, secondary renge, and the ura renge at such a young age. Gai especially appreciates Lee because he has the same eyebrows and the same nindo. He sees his childhood self in Lee.
MITARASHI, Anko
Anko was born and raised in Konoha. As an apprentice of Orochimaru, she has learned various jutsu, some of them even forbidden (kinjutsu). When she was a kid she must've been extremely talented, because just like Sasuke, Orochimaru gave her the cursed seal. When Orochimaru betrayed Konoha and fled from the village, Anko was furious because she was used by Orochimaru and then casted off like trash.
When Orochimaru appears back in Konoha, for the first time since he left the village, during the 2nd chuinin exam in the Forest of Death. She feels that it's her job as a former subordinate from Orochimaru to kill him, even at the cost of her own life. Of course, she can't defeat Orochimaru and even regrets coming back alive from the Forest of Death.
She makes her first appearance in the anime as the instructor for the 2nd chuunin exam. She clearly shows some of Naruto's personality, as well as some of Orochimaru's bloodthirst.
MOMOCHI, Zabuza
Just like Haku, Zabuza is what they call a 'missing-nin'. After his failed Coup d'etat on the Mizukage he had to abandon the Hidden Mist Village and became an exile. Now, constantly on the run for the village's hunter-nins he's looking for a way to get his revenge. He's a master in assassination jutsu's and offers his services for that purpose to anyone who can pay him, he joins arms with scum like Gato to fund his revenge. Zabuza is a cruel man who knows no mercy, yet he tolerates a boy named Haku in his presence. He looks at Haku as his tool and uses him the way he likes.
In order for a Ninja Academy student to graduate and become a Genin in the Hidden Mist Village, he or she had to fight, with one of the same friends they trained with, to the death. But all of this had to be changed 10 years ago when one of that year's students killed over 100 peers without hesitation. This child was Zabuza. Because of this the Village was forced to change the final exam for he graduating class, and is commonly referred to by other villages as 'Bloody Mist Village'. From that day on, Zabuza was known as 'the Devil of the Hidden Mist'.
Zabuza is one of the seven shinobi-gatana (swordsmen) of the Mist and is equiped with a very big chopping blade. He makes his first appearance as one of Gato's henchmen who's after the bridge builder, Tazuna. He fights and loses to Kakashi twice, and was only able to survive the first accounter because of Haku's fake hunter-nin appearance. At the very end he kills gato, and has the soul request to die laying next to Haku. It's a very touching scene where it begins to snow ('haku is crying') and Zabuza says: 'Haku, I'm sorry, I hope I can go to the same place you're going to.'. He dies as a shinobi who has led a difficult life, and only realized at the very end that a shinobi isn't a mere tool who can feel no emotions.
MORINO, Ibiki
Morino Ibiki is one of the elite jounins who is introduced during the first part of the chunnin exams. He is Konohas head torture expert and chief interrogator. He is the master of mental torture and can mentally break down ninjas. His face is covered with scars and burn marks from being tortured which only proves that he has a extreme endurance to pain.
There is not much fighting from Ibiki shown but being an elite ninja it would only prove that he has a lot of strength and can put ninjas down when he needs to.
Ibiki is also the older brother of Morino Idate a ex Konoha ninja. This is all that is known about Ibiki for now.
MORINO, Idate
Morino Idate is a cheerful determined young man who works for the Wasabi clan. Idate possesses skills that most people shouldn't be able to possess unless they were training in the arts of the ninja. Which is not known is that Idate was once a genin of the village of Konoha but because of his failed attempt to correctly answer a question in the chunnin exams he was failed. He then was manipulated by Aoi to steal 2 special treasures from Konoha that way he could be a Chunnin in the hidden village of rain. He did as was told and was then stopped by his brother Ibiki. After the events which took place he and his brother were captured by the Rain ninja and interrogated and tortured.
Idate being the coward that he was at the time begged for his life and his brothers but to no avail, his brother then made a move in which Idate was able to flee but at the cost to thinking his brother had died. Years later he realized his brother is doing well and this hurts him everyday to know that he betrayed his own village and his brother as well and constantly looks down on him self. When he was picked up and taken under the wing of the head boss of the Wasabi clan he initiated a new brother or father type of relation ship with him and holds him in very high regards. He would put his life on the line for him.
Idate at first seems like he hates all types of ninjas but this is only because he was betrayed by his own teacher and he betrayed his own village and brother and this guilt has forever been withheld in him. To help ease his guilt he makes the illusion that he hates all ninjas to better soothe his soul.
Idate is currently a subordinate of the boss of the Wasabi clan and runs for him in the Todori Burning Race. He is a fast person thanks to his training as a ninja but he still has a long way but a unsure way to go to become a strong ninja if he plans to return.
NARA, Shikamaru
According to Shikamaru nearly everything is troublesome. If it was up to him he would spend the entire day lazying around and playing games like chess, and he’s really good at it too. His sensei Azuma believes that he will one day become a genius military leader.
Shikamaru is a really easy-going fellow. In school he got about the same grades as Naruto had, but this was simply because he was to lazy to even pick up his pencil. The truth is that Shikamaru is highly intelligent. He did an IQ test once, and the result was that his IQ was over 200 (which is exceptionally high).
Knowing this it is safe to say that Shikamaru’s most powerful weapon is his intelligence. He analysis every situation carefully, and always thinks ahead before doing anything rash. Combine this with a very cunning use of his best ability, the Shadow Copy, he is NOT to be underestimated.
Orochimaru
Orochimaru one of the Legendary Sennins of the Leaf Village, until his thirst for the knowledge of Forbidden Techniques exiled him from the village. Since then, he has moved on from body to body in a technique that transfers his soul into another one in a bid for immortality. His next victim, or prodigy, as he states, is Uchiha Sasuke.
After his initial meeting with Sasuke in the Death Forest, Orochimaru gives him a curse seal as tantalizing bait; using Sasuke's ambition against himself, so that Sasuke would one day follow him and Orochimaru would claim his greatest power. The Sharingan.
He also was once part of the Akatsuki, the same organization that Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame are currently in, but left because he feared Itachi to a great magnitude.
Orochimaru has terrifying offensive techniques, and the exact opposite of Jiraiya. His ability to make Kakashi freeze dead in his tracks by just showing off his killing intent should be indicator of how strong he is.
Rin
Rin is a very caring ninja who excels in medical jutsu and is extremely a head of her time. She is on Kakashi’s team while they are at war with the stone country. She seems to have a small crush on him and she seems to be the past Sakura.
Rin is also the one who did the transplant of Obitos eye and inserted it in Kakashi, this only shows her skills as a medical nin at such a early age was extremely well. There is little else known about Rin other then she was on Kakashi’s team and is one of the fourth's students.
