Kaku Watanabe

渡辺賀来, Kaku Watanabe.

[UNDER CONSTRUCTION]

Background
A perfectly ordinary child, Kaku graduated from the Academy at 12 with fair grades, and was recruited to Team 12. Their jounin reported them as 'difficult' - although their knowledge of ninja techniques was adequate and their tactics good, the idea of 'teamwork' was a real struggle. Kaku refused to trust anyone, and failed to bond with their new teammates, withdrawing into silence when questioned. Several D-Rank missions were completed without event, but when this aloofness and inability to cooperate risked danger on a C-Rank mission, Kaku was temporarily suspended from ninja duties and exiled to their civilian home. In the following weeks, Team 12 was bumped back to D-Rank mission and attempts to contact Kaku were unsuccesful.

After a month of no contact, Kaku's sensei investigated their home to find the genin had never returned, and that Kaku's sick mother had passed away. Although never declared as a Missing-Nin as they had never officially left the village, Kaku was tracked to a nearby forest, where they were found hysterical. Attempts to return Kaku to their home resulted in physical alterations and a confession which, one investigated, led to their father's arrest. Kaku was hospitalised for six months in the Psychotherapy ward. Further details are classified.

Kaku returned to Team 12 on October 31st, just after their fourteenth birthday. They demonstrated a genuine will to change, and worked hard to develop relationships with both their teammates and sensei. Their stamina had improved hugely, and Kaku blossomed, changing from an average student to a highly-adept young genin. Their personality was still unpredictable and changeable, but through meditation and on-going work with the hospital, they became a irreplacable member of Team 12 and an excellent ninja.

Kaku passed the Chunin exams on their first attempt at 16, and the Jounin exams just two years later at 18. Immediately recruited into ANBU, Kaku worked as an assassin and later interrogater for five years before seeking permission from the Hokage to leave the village and persue the Sennin path.

Currently 26, Kaku has returned to Kohona.

Personality
Kaku is very shy. Anti-social and introverted, many people mistake their attitude for one of aloofness. Even those who make an effort to become friends often become frustrated by Kaku's apparent lack of reciprocation and air of mystery. Kaku is reluctant to reveal any details about themselves, disguising their need to eat and sleep, their gender, and often their opinions on the missions.

Kaku enjoys spending time alone in nature and is a deeply thoughtful person by nature, not easily bored. They are highly meditative and an adept tactician, although in battle they tend to become too caught up in the heat of the moment to think clearly. Kaku is diffcult to annoy or provoke, but when they lose their temper, it is usually in a very explosive way where collatoral damange is to be expected.

Appearance
Kaku is a tall ninja with short dark blue hair. They have dark eyes and fairly pale skin, a round face. It is impossible to tell whether they are male or female.

Kaku has calloused hands, but the rest of their body is always covered, all the time. They prefer boots to the open-toed ninja sandals that are traditional. There is a small round mark on the back of their neck, and their ears stick out slightly.

Kaku dresses in several layers. They wear a black reinforced bodysuit, large combat boots that cover the calves, a large green sash around the waist, a long-sleeved leather crop top and the traditional flak jacket over the top.

Abilities
Here you will write the basics of the ablities, such as what is their strongest asset, their strenghts and weaknesses, strategical preferences and such

Kekkei Genkai
Bloodline limit. Delete if unrelated. Your oc does NOT need to have one. If related, here you should describe the ability to use the limit, its affects on the character and when do they choose to use it. It is suggested that if you are planning to have more than one character using the bloodline, you create a seperate article for the Kekkei Genkai. If your character is a user of a KG that is already in the Naruto Universe, please add a link to a Narutopedia or Wikipedia article about the bloodline limit.

Status
Fill out one of the following tables. Delete the ones you will not be using. The ratings are out of 5, 5 being the highest. For total, add up all the points for each category. (Note: The Databook Numbers are NOT parts of the anime. Think of the First and Second Databooks to be in Part l. The Third is the most recent of your oc, and the only one of Part ll.)

Part I and II template: Use for characters who appear in both Naruto and Shippuden.

Part I: Use for characters who appear in Naruto only. (Think of the First Databok to be how they started out fresh out of the acedemy, and the Second to be after much progress) Part II: Use for characters who appear in Shippuden only.

Part I
Here you write about your character's plot during the original Naruto series. Delete the heading if your character appears only in Shippuden.

Part II
Here you write about your character's plot during the Shippuden series. Delete the heading if your character appears only in the original Naruto series.
