Reiji Saikumo
"Arrêtez-vous! On arrivera à ce truc compliqué plus tard. En attendant, vous voyez, vous n'êtes pas encore en sécurité... Il y a encore une chose que vous devez tous accomplir avant que nous commencions à faire le sale boulot... »
"Nous allons vous faire passer un autre test. Juste un, simple test. Je m'attends à vous voir tous au terrain d'entraînement 94 à 12h sur le point, aujourd'hui. Est-ce que vous êtes tous d'accord?"
Reiji avait été le premier à sortir de la porte après que Fuyuko-sensei leur ait donné les nouvelles et les détails de la réunion. C'était une peine de devoir passer un autre test après qu'il ait été censé avoir fini avec tout ça à l'académie. Il n'a jamais été contre les tests et, en fait, il les attendait avec un peu d'intérêt. C'était une chance de voir jusqu'où il venait, combien il était devenu plus fort. Cependant, comme test, il y avait toujours la connaissance qu'ils n'allaient pas le pousser à ses limites, qu'ils allaient vraiment le défier au-delà de ce qu'il pouvait faire. Cette pensée ronflait toujours à Reiji. Il avait un peu de réconfort à savoir que ce test particulier était donné par un jounin à part entière. Ils étaient les étudiants de Fuyuko-sensei maintenant et après qu'il a vu la présence qu'elle commande et son défi flagrant d'eux de lui montrer leur meilleur, il était sûr qu'elle ne allait pas rendre les choses moins que difficile.
Reiji a rangé le reste de son équipement et est allé à la fenêtre. "Je ne retourne pas à l'académie... il y a trop de ninja fort là-bas et trop de réponses qui attendent. Ce test n'est qu'un autre tremplin vers les deux. Donc sensei, donne-moi ton meilleur coup ~" Il s'est levé sur le seuil et s'est dardé pour le terrain d'entraînement.

Arrivée en dernier au lieu de réunion avec seulement quelques minutes de rechange Reiji place à travers le pinceau pour voir Fuyuko-sensei et les autres en attente. Tout le monde semblait prêt à faire l'essai. Fuyuko-sensei les a accueillis et a supprimé l'affectation. Une heure pour rassembler quelques feuilles de papier. Des traînées de papier dans toute la forêt sonnent laborieuses au début, mais pour shinobi il ne devrait pas être si redoutable d'une tâche. L'ajout de pièges à bombe à papier lui donne un bord mais Reiji était à peine inquiet. Le plus grand défi serait la limite de temps. Leur jounin habile n'a pas caché les glissades à trouver avec peu d'effort.
"Si vous ne parvenez pas à dépasser la limite de temps, alors qu'une personne sans papier est renvoyée à l'Académie. Si plus de cinq pièges sont déclenchés, alors vous êtes tous renvoyés. Compris?"
Reiji s'est évanoui. "Petite marge d'erreur, hein? J'aurais aimé un meilleur challenge sensei~" Seichi, étant le plus impatient d'entre eux tous partis sans une seconde à perdre. Toko a suivi et après peu de temps leur a été une séquence de deux explosions dans la distance.
"Soyons au moins sûrs que ces abrutis vont bien." Seji s'est dirigé vers la source de l'explosion qui a quitté Reiji et Asuka. Seji-san, Reiji-san, je suggère que nous prenions une direction différente pour les autres. Je suis sûr que si nous prenons une autre route, nous pourrons couvrir plus de terrain, non? Aussi, nous devons garder les yeux ouverts pour tous les pièges ou les morceaux de papier... Ce sont les choses qui détermineront le résultat de ce test.- Reiji a pris le bras d'Asuka avant qu'elle puisse décoller après Seji. "Laisse-le aller après ces deux-là. Espérons qu'il trouve un morceau ou deux en chemin. Comme vous l'avez dit, nous couvrirons plus de terrain si nous allons de l'autre côté... avec votre vitesse, nous couvrirons encore plus, Koizumi-san."
Reiji partait dans l'autre direction depuis Seji et les autres. Débarquement rapide sur une branche de Reiji a arpenté la région. "Cette bombe à papier mise en place aurait pu être un problème--Fuyuko-sensei probablement les mettre en place tout le long des routes communes que nous prendrions. Le sol forestier, les cimes d'arbres, elle en a probablement quelques-uns cachés sous la terre... » Reiji a riposté avec un peu d'amusement. "Elle ne peut pas nous gêner dans les nuages cependant..." Reiji a tissé un signe de dragon. Tout autour de lui dans un rayon de quelques mètres l'air a commencé à tourner et se former en petits nuages blancs. Seiun, la cachette du clan Saikumo qui leur a donné un contrôle précis sur l'humidité dans l'air pour former ces taches blanches et molles. Intimidant? Peut-être pas, mais le père de Reiji lui avait appris que dans les mains du Saikumo, les plus petits nuages pouvaient devenir des orages féroces.
"Koizumi-san, si vous utilisez mon Sekiun et vous serez en mesure d'utiliser votre vitesse au maximum et de fouiller la zone est rapidement avec peu de peur de déclencher les bombes. Tu penses pouvoir gérer ça?

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.
