Hayaki (ハヤキ, Hayaki) is a ninja of dubious affiliation. His mysterious parentage and plot-hole-ridden background is a constance source of comedy and frustration to his peers, a situation he displays little interest in resolving.

Hayaki is property of Shotons on The N.O.W.

Personality
Lively | Kindly | Decisive

Appearance
Hayaki is a lean young man with wide, cat-like black eyes and shiny scar on the knuckle of his left pinkie finger. His dull white hair, initially worn in a short bob with his choppily-cut bangs falling to cover his face, is eventually grown out to his shoulders to flare around his neck. Shortly prior to and some time after his registration, Hayaki is shown wearing a knee-length coat, buttoned over the right of his chest, over a pair of black pants with blue trim. His shoes are standard black ninja sandals. Hayaki occasionally swaps the standard forehead protector for a green headband. His shuriken holster is strapped to his right knee.

His casual clothes usually consist of shorts under a long-sleeved shirt, and he wears a shoulderless short-sleeved robe with split thigh seams over the rest of his clothes. He keeps his hair pulled back by a dark green headband.

During his apprenticeship to Kotetsu and Izumo, Hayaki begins wearing a one piece belted at the middle by a drawstring threaded through the fabric, over which he usually sports a coat similar to his previous outfit. His forehead protector is tied around his arm and he wears a brown satchel over one shoulder. His shuriken holster remains on his right.

After his chūnin promotion, Hayaki exchanges his coat for the chūnin flak jacket and his satchel for a tough black utility belt.

General Abilities
Hayaki is skilled in  genjutsu  and  chakra absorption techniques and is capable of wielding   ninja tools  with great success, particularly in the practice of  shurikenjutsu.

He also displays a preference for  Water Release   nature transformation. Despite his lack of patience with ninjutsu, Hayaki displays remarkable ingenuity in inventing his own techniques that capitalize on his nature and his bugs' chakra draining abilities.

At some point during his time in Yashagōrō's facility, Hayaki's prodigious chakra control led to his education in medical ninjutsu.
