Sekki

Sekki is a child of roughly average height with fair skin and blue-green eyes. Bangs sweep down over the right half of his face, framing dull-brown hair. He wears the standard Iwa shinobi outfit, a red forehead protector, and a single black glove on his left hand.

Sekki talks a big game, bragging about his skills at every turn, and that arrogance often leaves him careless. When things go sideways he reaches for excuses, yet underneath the bravado he is deeply self-conscious and fiercely committed to his goals. He cherishes his village and family, looks up to the Third Tsuchikage, and hopes to inherit that title himself someday. His deepest wish is to honor his late grandmother, who raised him and whom he tended faithfully, massaging her aching back, until she passed away.

Sekki builds his combat around taijutsu he proudly calls the Ultimate Genbu Techniques, a repertoire said to hold at least 108 moves. His signature is a heavy straight punch capable of shattering boulders and knocking large opponents back, though actually landing it gives him trouble. He can also wield Earth Release to lift several boulders at once, an effort that tires him fast, and the years spent caring for his grandmother left him a skilled masseur who later relieved the Third Tsuchikage's chronic backache. During the Versus Momoshiki Arc, Sekki and his squad entered the Chunin Exams in Konoha but flunked the opening stage after tripping over a tree root and springing one of Tenten's traps, which sent the furious Fourth Tsuchikage ordering them to restart their training from scratch.

In the Mitsuki's Disappearance Arc, Sekki travels to the Sanzu Plains to prove his self-worth by claiming a Heart Stone, spending three grueling days near starvation while the training ground's seal keeps him inside. There he crosses paths with Boruto Uzumaki and, by accident, ferries the elderly Onoki into the grounds. With their aid he gathers food and gradually opens up. When a massive wolf attacks, Sekki bolts at first, but recalling Onoki's warning against making excuses, he turns back to help Boruto drive it off, and that resolve finally manifests his Heart Stone, letting him lead the pair out. Returning home to find Iwa swarmed by Akuta, he finds a wounded Akatsuchi, learns what has happened, and is charged with saving Onoki, who refuses rescue so he can end the fight in person. At the demolished Tsuchikage Office he frees Sarada and Boruto from the rubble, and being too drained to carry Onoki himself, he entrusts that to Boruto. After the fabrications are defeated, Sekki mourns Onoki alongside Akatsuchi and Kurotsuchi and weeps at the funeral, vowing to become strong and uphold the Third's teachings.
