Name:
Izanagi Masahiro
Age:
33
Rank:
Izanagi is a Missing-Ninja, and a Jounin before his apparent betrayal. His skill, however, has increased significantly since then.
Village:
Village Hidden in the Leaves
Appearance:
His hair is several inches long, standing up in most places, and a light brown color. His face has high cheekbones, with a pointed nose and a prominent chin. A black stubble of facial hair covers his chin, lower jaw, and cheeks, giving him a somewhat rugged appearance. His skin is white, slightly paler than average. Izanagi's eyes have a bold Hazel color. His build is tall and gangly-he stands at six feet exactly-and his muscles are thin and compact, like a runner's.
Izanagi, of course, ditched his Shibobi uniform the day he was declared a criminal. He still has his headband, however, although it is hidden from view. His clothing is a loose robe of rough brown cloth that covers his forearms and goes down to his waist, ending in a point by his legs. He has kept the dark blue pants he wore with his Flak vest when he was a ninja, along with the sandals.
History:
Izanagi lived a relatively normal life as a child, he entered the Ninja Academy at a young age and graduated when he was twelve. His parents were both civilians, they owned a restaurant in the center of the city. He took the Chuunin Exams twice, passing three years after gruduation. He spent about six years as a Chuunin, and one faithfull day he was considered by the higher-ups to be a Jounin, he accepted.
This day he became a Jounin was the best and worst moment of his entire life. As he walked back to his apartment that night, he turned a corner and witnessed a massacre. There were bodies everywhere-and one man with a bloodstained sword. Izanagi drew his own sword and ran at him in an attempt to subdue him, it was his duty. The second Izanagi swung his sword at the stranger, he disappeared altogether and in his place was Izanagi's father. The killer had played a cruel trick-using the replacement technique at the last second.
That night, the Jounin killed his father, the dozens of Leaf Shinobi that turned up a minute later saw it with their own eyes. He had no choice but to run away, barely making out of the village alive with the blame of the deaths of ten people on his head.
Personality:
Your first impression of Izanagi would an intense, quiet man who is highly intelligent and dangerous. He is serious almost all the time-not really having any shame in his actions at all or caring what others think of him.
He does not enjoy engaging in wanton violence, as he values human life at all times, and has a certain sense of honor. He won't go destroying things without a good reason, and will always go out of his way to help people.

Kage Bunshin is a Jounin level Ninjutsu technique. The normal Bunshin technique creates a copy of the ninja that lacks any substance. The Kage Bunshin distributes the ninja's chakra evenly among the clones and creates a real copy with form and substance. The clone itself can also utilize any jutsu the original ninja knows. When the clone finally disperses, any new knowledge it has gained is passed back to the original ninja and any additional clones. This makes Kage Bunshin an excellent training method if the ninja has the chakra capacity and stamina to maintain the Kage Bunshins for an extended period of time. This allows the ninja to essentially reduce the time it takes to train and learn with each clone added.

A Genjutsu technique. The user will start this technique by using only one finger on their right hand. His target does not have to look into their eyes, a glance at the hand itself will be enough.
