Raijin

Character

Raijin is a hulking convict who, together with his elder brother Fujin, forms the pair mockingly nicknamed the Legendary Stupid Brothers. Locked away inside a Konoha correctional facility, he pours his enormous strength almost entirely into a single obsession: securing his next meal.

Appearance

A mountain of a man, Raijin stands even taller than his brother and carries a heavy, rounded frame. His open olive vest, cut with a jagged zigzag collar, leaves his stomach bare above a pair of shorts. Narrow eyes sit beneath sparse, thin brows.

Personality

Nearly every thought Raijin has circles back to eating, a weakness the prison staff exploit by rationing meals to keep both brothers docile. Anyone who ruins a meal risks a burst of murderous rage. Slow of mind, he leans on Fujin whenever something baffles him, though his brother's answers tend to be just as foolish. The pair also carry a swollen sense of entitlement, calling food handed to them an offering.

For all their dullness, the brothers share a deep affection. When Ino Yamanaka seized their minds to turn them against each other, both sensed the wrongness and tried to shake the other loose. They grew attached to Mizuki for feeding them and promising a grander feast under Orochimaru, yet the moment Tsunade threatened to withhold supper, they forgot him entirely and bolted back to their cells.

Abilities

The brothers wield freakish strength and stamina that only swell as their anger rises, letting them leap great distances and move at blistering speed. Rumor held their might rivaled Tsunade's, a claim she disproved by flicking each of them in the forehead and launching them several feet backward. No cell can hold Raijin; he shatters iron doors with ease, and the combined restraints of Shikamaru, Ino, and Choji failed to keep him pinned. He shrugs off punishing blows without lasting injury and possesses a nose keen enough to catch the scent of food from a distant cell. Yet his dull wits make him trivially easy to deceive, as Mizuki proved when he tricked the pair into helping him escape only to see them dragged back to jail by a hungry threat from Tsunade.
