An 18-year-old ninja with legitimate skills, though you wouldn't know it from his attitude. He's spent more time scheming to take over Komatsuda's cushy office job at the Ninjutsu Academy than actually using his combat abilities, which—frustratingly for everyone involved—are actually pretty solid. The irony isn't lost on anyone: he'd probably be better at the administrative role than Komatsuda, but his personality is so off-putting that neither the students nor the staff want anything to do with him. His constant maneuvering to get the position has made him unpopular, and honestly, he seems way more suited to pushing papers in an air-conditioned room than doing fieldwork anyway. Whether that's a weakness or just common sense depends on who you ask.
