Daitaro Harusa

Daitaro Harusa "(ダイたろ はるさ, Harusha Daitaro)" is a shinobi of Kusagakure’s Harusa clan. He is known as “The War’s Miracle” as he was one of the survivors of the Fourth Great Ninja War. He has been out of commission for a long time but he is trying to bring his skills to the levels of his peers. He is very family centered as a child, but as an adult he knows he knows he has a duty to the world. He has had many senseis from his family and other places (most recently Captain Yamato).

Background
Part II: During the Fourth Great Ninja War, Daitaro was stationed in his home village to protect the citizens. During the battle he was severely wounded by a White Zetsu resulting in a damaged chest and neck. After dealing with the White Zetsu the medical team stationed in Kusagakure put him into a medically induced coma while they looked for solutions to fix him. He stayed in critical condition until the end of the war, they were able to keep him alive with the resources they had.

After the war Tsunade and Konohagakure were in development of an artificial arm for Naruto Uzumaki, the hope seemed there for Daitaro, even with only a 20% chance of survival. With the success of the arm being used for Naruto, the procedure was set to be used on Daitaro. The cells were grafted to his body, but he did not wake up. Instead, he was stabilized but he stayed in a coma for another 15 years. While in a coma, he heard a voice in the darkness. Opening his eyes, he found himself in a large dark void laying in a pool of water. Raising to his feet he saw the only other person in the area. There it was revealed to him that he is a descendant of the Sage of Six Paths. “Only those related to me can see me in the afterlife with their connection to my chakra. This means that you are or must be related to me in some way.” The Sage of Six Paths was able to teach Daitaro the principles of Ninshu as well as the means to protect those he loves. Understanding that Daitaro might have to protect those he loves, the Sage of Six Paths mustered up his remaining power and bestowed it onto Daitaro. It is unknown what this has done. With the fortitude and guidance of the Sage he was able to mature during these 15 years.

Personality
Part II: Daitaro Harusa was a very stubborn individual. He preferred to keep to himself most of the time. When often met with conflict he liked to stand his ground, and when faced with a difficult situation he would often refuse to ask for help even when needed. His stubbornness also is the base of many arguments as he is very firm in his beliefs and does not appreciate when challenged, although will admit he's wrong when proven so. This has made it difficult for him to form close friendships, although he is often ready to help those in need.

New Era: As an adult and having learned from the Sage of Six Paths, he has matured a lot more and implemented the elements of Ninshu into his everyday life. He tries to go along with others and their thoughts but he always struggles as he is not used to being with other people. He is very lighthearted but can get serious in a heartbeat. Many times he knows when to be serious and when to joke around. He doesn’t like to have to rely on others but he will if he has to. He often tries to seek the good in people as he wants to honor his teachings, but he also knows that some people are beyond saving.

Appearance
Part II: As a child he is a bit scrawny. He is about average height for his age. His skin is tan and his hair is dark. His hair reached his shoulders so he would constantly put it up in a bun to keep it out of his eyes. He wears his headband proudly because he had just graduated from the academy. His mother would help him with his hair in the morning when he was much younger. He always wears a beige and burgundy scarf that was made by her. He has white wraps on his hands to help with taijutsu.

New Era: He is taller than other shinobi, and he is thin but built. After his coma he lost a lot of muscle mass and had to retrain his body to be up to the standards as the rest of the ninja. He has tanned skin and dark eyes. The skin around his chest and neck is white in color because that is the skin that was replaced with the artificial tissue. His hair is dark in color and is combed to one side coming over his headband almost covering his left eye. After the scarf was destroyed when he was attacked 17 years ago, he now wears another scarf made by his mother that replaces the beige color with a much darker charcoal color. He replaces the wraps on his hands for black fingerless gloves.

Kekkei Genkai
Upon awakening from his coma, it was revealed to him that he is able to use the rare kekkei genkai of: wood release. This is a technique which combines the use of water release and earth release. This kekkei genkai has the ability to suppress chakra and create structures which have a lot of strength. He is one of the only people to be able to use wood release, others being Hashirama Senju, Yamato, and Asura Otsutsuki.
