Name: Kaito
Age: 13
Rank: Academy Student
Village: Leaf Village
Clan: Unknown to Kaito; staff note: Uchiha lineage
Height: 5’5” (165 cm)
Weight: 105 lbs (48 kg)
Appearance:
Kaito is tall and lean for his age. His messy black hair falls over sharp gray eyes. Despite being naturally attractive, he rarely cares for his appearance. His clothes are worn and practical, reflecting his years surviving on the streets. His frame is slim and slightly underweight due to inconsistent meals, but he has strong muscle definition from constant training and survival.
Personality:
Quiet but confident, Kaito keeps to himself due to loneliness. Observant and analytical. Not shy, but selective in interactions. Determined and persistent, he has a strong underdog spirit. Fears using chakra due to past failures, relying entirely on physical combat skills.
Backstory:
Kaito’s earliest memories began in shadows. His parents were gone before he could remember them — slaughtered under circumstances no one ever spoke of, not even to him. From the age of two, he and his older brother were left to survive on the streets, learning quickly that speed, balance, and awareness were the only things that mattered. Every day was a lesson in moving quietly, avoiding danger, and trusting only themselves.
Life on the streets hardened him further. When Kaito was five, his older brother — his only family — died quietly from hunger. The memory of that day was a blur, but the lesson stayed: no one would look out for him, and attachment could be dangerous. Since then, Kaito learned to keep his distance from others, observing more than he trusted, moving through the world without depending on anyone.
From an early age, Kaito discovered he could sense something strange inside himself — a power that moved with him, reacting to his thoughts. He didn’t understand it, and it frightened him. He learned to ignore it, focusing instead on what he could control: his body, his instincts, and his movements. Fighting and running became reliable; the power within him felt unpredictable and unsafe.
One afternoon, while reaching for a merchant’s coin pouch, Kaito misjudged his timing and was caught mid-motion. The merchant scowled, but before Kaito could escape, a Jonin stepped from the crowd. The shinobi matched Kaito’s movements, letting the boy twist, dodge, and leap while staying just a step behind him. Every misstep Kaito made was countered with subtle corrections, forcing him to adjust without force. When Kaito finally tried to slip past, the Jonin intercepted him without raising his voice, his eyes quietly measuring every instinct. By the time the encounter ended, it was clear: Kaito had been tested, and he had passed.
Rather than punishment, Kaito was offered a chance: sponsorship into the Academy. A roof. Meals. Structure.
Kaito accepted — not out of gratitude, but because it was better than winter.
He has strong chakra potential, but it is emotionally unstable and uncontrollable. Fearing failure, he refuses to use chakra and instead focuses on mastering:
