Reiji Saikumo
Cela faisait longtemps que Reiji ne s'était pas senti aussi ravi. Il a même réussi à arriver à temps pour les cours. Son retard n'a jamais entravé sa performance en tant qu'étudiant et le petit dos-à-bout avec le sensi a rendu l'expérience en classe un peu plus intéressante. Mais aujourd'hui, c'était différent. Il avait dépassé l'académie et était un génie maintenant. Les autres qui avaient également atteint le grade attendaient tous d'être affectés à une équipe de trois hommes dirigée par un jonin. Formation plus avancée, missions, et un shinobi de haut rang pour Reiji à défier. Reiji aurait également la chance de s'aventurer plus loin que les limites des villages est la recherche de réponses.
"et ce sont tous les escadrons. Restez assis jusqu'à l'arrivée de l'autre Jōnin."
"Hm?" Reiji a levé les yeux, sorti de ses soupirs par la prise de conscience qu'il n'avait pas été affecté à une équipe avec quelques autres. J'ai raté quelque chose? Pourquoi il reste tant d'entre nous? Il savait que les adultes n'étaient pas aussi perspicaces, mais il pouvait comprendre s'il avait été laissé à l'écart en raison des inquiétudes de ses camarades de classe au sujet du génie du lion. Mais une poignée d'entre eux n'ont pas été appelés. Reiji se tint de son siège, stupéfiant certains des autres autour de lui et dessinant des regards méfiants. "Je pense que tu as manqué quelques... tête à nous dire pourquoi?"
« Quant aux six autres élèves qui n'ont pas été appelés... on vous a conseillé de passer à la classe 23 le plus tôt possible. »
"Pourquoi vous..." L'instructeur a quitté la pièce en ignorant complètement la question de Reiji. Howver, s'abaisser dans son siège Reiji s'est retrouvé souriant. Au moins c'est intéressant~

Dix minutes plus tard, Reiji attendait dans la salle désignée avec les autres qui n'étaient pas affectés aux équipes. Il était relativement calme sauf pour les plus rambunctieux de leur classe, Seichi Hino. Il a rendu les choses animées pour que Reiji n'ait pas de problèmes avec lui. Pourtant, l'agitation de Reiji devenait de plus en plus évidente. Enfin, la porte s'ouvrit et une femme entra. Elle semblait incroyablement gaie et a même réussi à déjouer Seichi alors qu'elle se présentait. Fuyuko Wakahisa. Reiji n'était pas une personne à sous-estimer et elle était un cas principal de pourquoi. Elle se porte comme une sorte d'idole... mais sa présence qu'elle commande trahit cela." Cette situation venait de devenir beaucoup plus excitante.
"De toute façon, vous devez vous demander pourquoi vous êtes là, non? Notre merveilleux Hokage vous a tous assignés à une équipe spéciale qui sera sous ma supervision pour la première année environ. Bien sûr, nous allons faire des missions normales comme le reste des trois hommes, mais ici, vous allez aussi faire quelque chose d'un peu différent... »
"En gros, il y a cette organisation qu'il faut abattre et blah, blah, blah, c'est un peu compliqué, donc je vais juste garder la description assez vague. Mais ne me tuez pas encore. Nous avons encore des introductions à faire! »
Tous affectés à une seule unité? L'organisation? Elle avait certainement obtenu son attention. Un groupe de cette taille a donné à Reiji beaucoup de rivaux et la perspective d'aller après une organisation potentiellement dangereuse ne faisait que rendre les choses plus amusantes. Malheureusement, leur sensei a décidé de sauter l'explication et de les faire se présenter. L'œil de Reiji s'est émoussé, un peu ennuyé, mais autrement intrigué.
"Je m'appelle Reiji Saikumo. J'aime un bon combat~" Le soleil qui brillait par la fenêtre reflétait le feu dans ses yeux quand il parlait. "Je déteste qu'on me laisse dans le noir..." Le feu disparut de ses yeux et fut remplacé par autre chose. Son ton devint peu solennel au fur et à mesure qu'il continua. "Et ma saison préférée est l'hiver. Maintenant à propos de cette organisation à mentionner...

Personal Information
Personality:: Essentially Reiji is a thrill seeker. He enjoys a good challenge, a good time, and a good laugh. He's quick to tease someone when he sees an opening. He carries himself with a cool, confident demeanor and a slight temper. Since he's willing to fight at a moment's notice it takes more than taunting to get under his skin but once you do he's quite the hot head. First to confront an adversary and last to retreat, Reiji is a shinobi hungry to test his strength. He's happiest when he's able to fight other powerful ninja.
However, that same affinity for battle is what scares him the most. Nothing else is important anymore when he's fighting a strong opponent. He'll forget his objectives and potentially put his comrades in danger. Because of this he is hesitant to let others get close to him. This also makes it hard for him to work well with others. You could say he's an untamed beast whose only purpose is to prove his dominance. Still, he hopes to find something he cares for more than fighting.
History:: Attending the academy, he got good grades and was a fast learner. Although he only joined the academy because his parents were shinobi; just thought that was the path to take since he didn't have any ambitions of his own. Soon, he came to realize he enjoyed fighting. The skills, jutsu, the game of trying to read your opponents next move, it was all a thrill to him. From then on he trained harder knowing that the stronger he got the stronger foes he'd get to face. Reiji still didn't feel he had found his reason for becoming a shinobi but combat filled the space for the time being. Until the day his parents didn't come back from a mission. His father was KIA but his mother was missing. Since there was no evidence she was dead and the body of the enemy they were fighting had been found instead she was declared a rogue ninja.
Being the child of a labeled traitor had it's drawbacks. The other students in the academy, once impressed with him and his skill, were now wary and anxious around him. Reiji excelled at combat and it was no secret he enjoyed it. With the knowledge of his mother many of the students had the same question on their minds: how long before he turns on them? None of that mattered to him. There were more important things that he needed to sort out. Reiji found that fighting was no longer enough to replace the answer to why he became a shinobi. He needed answers. What happened on that mission? Where is his mother? And is fighting the only reason he has for being a ninja?

Skills & Techniques
Skills/Abilities:: With a strong handle on ninjutsu and taijutsu, Reiji is able to seamlessly mix both in battle. Combined with his smart use of his clan's Sekiun he becomes quite formidable. He possesses moderate skill with ninja tools making him a mid-ranged fighter. He is adept at stealth though he prefers a head to head fight. That doesn't mean he won't implement them when necessary.
Genjutsu isn't his strong suit. In fact he knows only one technique which required a lot of hard work for him to wield. His failings in genjutsu can be connected to his lack of chakra control; his reckless use of his chakra can potentially leave him vulnerable despite his enviable reserves.
Special Traits:: The Saikumo are noted for having great amounts of chakra and a natural intimidating presence.
Kekkei Genkai Hiden:: Sekiun (積雲, Cumulus)
Traits/Abilities of Hiden: Sekiun is a technique passed down through the Saikumo that allows them to manipulate the water in the air to create clouds for various uses. These clouds can be dense enough to be used as platforms or even shields, or thin enough to move through and use as cover. They can also be used as conduits for water and lightning style jutsu. Increased maneuverability, disguising attacks, softening blows; it's clear that Sekiun is a versatile technique but it has it's limits. Thought the density of the clouds can changed they are still clouds and are a poor defense against high impact attacks such as earth jutsu and cutting/piercing attacks such as swords and lightning jutsu. Obviously the less water the in the atmosphere the more difficult Sekiun is to use so dessert environments and the like render it near useless.
