Gakuto Hara

Azusa Konno (紺野梓沙, Konno Azusa) is a shinobi of Sunagakure and a former member of Team Hane along with his teammates Nanaho and Satsuki. Resident creepy dead child, a.k.a. one of two known users of the Ni-kai Yomigae kekkei genkai, which earned him the nickname "Zombie Ninja". As a medic-nin, he is currently a (technical) Tokubetsu Jōnin.

Personality
Azusa is a very emotional person. Even as a child, Azusa was known to internalize his feelings, which only went so far - this triggered moments in his youth where even the slightest needling from a classmate could tip his emotional balance and drive him to tears. He was often branded a cry-baby.

Appearance
Azusa tends to wear a pair of dark wrap-around sunglasses (or similar eye protection) to keep the light out of his eyes, which are photosensitive. Harsh light can trigger one of Azusa's epileptic attacks.

Abilities
Azusa is not a genius by any stretch of the imagination. He is, however, very adaptable, and his academy days were productive and showed his competence and understanding of the necessities a shinobi's life contains.

Azusa excels in taijutsu, which he believes allows him to use his training as a medic-nin to its fullest extent. He displayed a talent for reverse-engineering different katas, especially styles he'd come across in his missions, and adding his own flair. The malformation of his tenketsu in childhood has significantly alters Azusa's approach to ninjutsu; he employs low- to mid-level jutsu only, and very rarely works with his own affinity. This is for a dual purpose: one, to ensure his tenketsu don't suffer any further damage; two, to prevent himself from triggering an epileptic attack with his affinity's tendency to flicker and flash erratically. His condition also causes his average chakra flow to become unstable, ranging from over-full (resulting in aches, irritability, and general uselessness) to tightly-wound (good for the mission, bad for the mind). Azusa has very little talent in genjutsu, and the most he can manage is dispelling low-level illusions. He relies heavily on Nanaho, his unit's genjutsu specialist, to provide long-term cover for illusions.

In order to curb the unpredictability of his chakra output, Azusa employs a significant amount of kenjutsu in his attacks. His lightning-based chakra affinity and skill with wind-style attacks allows him to conduct his chakra through various weapons more safely and easily than directing them with ninjutsu, which comes as a relief to him. This is Azusa's preferred method of chakra manipulation.
