Santa Yamanaka

Long auburn hair is Santa's most striking trait, gathered high into a ponytail and falling well down his back. He cuts a lean, pale figure, with narrow, dark eyes set beneath that mane. His gear matches the rest of the Konoha ranks: the standard shinobi uniform layered under a flak jacket, topped off with the headband issued to the Allied Shinobi Forces.

Santa commands the signature methods of his clan and has refined the Mind Body Switch Technique to an unusual degree, exchanging his body outright with a target such as Kakashi Hatake rather than merely projecting his consciousness into it. His real distinction, though, is perception. Rated a gifted sensor even within a clan famous for the skill, he can keep fighting effectively with his sight taken away. Pairing that awareness with the Sensing Technique, he can steer a borrowed body into the precise spot needed to set up a decisive strike.

As the Fourth Shinobi World War unfolded, Santa was posted to the Third Division, part of the Allied Shinobi Forces, and was folded into Kakashi's plan for countering the reincarnated dead. A heavy mist smothered the battlefield and cut visibility to almost nothing, so Santa traded bodies with his captain and leaned on his sensory gifts to slip Kakashi behind Zabuza Momochi. Releasing the swap let Kakashi swing at the opening, though Haku threw himself into the path of the blow. Ensui Nara then reported that he had only managed to pin one of the pair, the contact with the other shadow too brief to trigger his Shadow Sewing. The anime also places Santa among the shinobi who battled Jinin Akebino once the second day of fighting dawned.
