Datsuji
CharacterDatsuji is a Sunagakure shinobi who, with his teammate Goji, rounds out Team Goji. Proud and resourceful, he competes in the joint Chūnin Exams and leans on flash bombs and Water Release to outfox his opponents.
Appearance
Datsuji has blue hair and a pair of purple markings on his cheeks. A blue forehead protector is tied bandanna-style so low that it blots out his eyes entirely. He rounds out the look with a blue shirt, wrist bandages, black trousers and standard shinobi sandals.
Personality
Pride sits at the centre of Datsuji's character, though he carries enough grace to concede a loss when he is fairly beaten. That same pride drives him and his fellow Suna genin to reject Shira's leadership and later to refuse a scroll offered out of pity, choosing instead to surrender their own scrolls and earn passage the hard way.
Abilities
Clever and quick-thinking, Datsuji reads an opponent's weakness and exploits it, famously undoing Yome with a single flash bomb by playing on her vulnerability to blinding light. He also handles Water Release, spitting needles of water that can stun a target. Fighting alongside Team Goji in the joint Chūnin Exams, he clears the first hurdle and reaches the second round in Demon Desert, but after turning on Shira he and the other Suna-nin are driven off by Rock Lee and Team Guy and left to seek fresh heaven and earth scrolls elsewhere.
