Kitō
CharacterKitō is a medical-nin serving Konohagakure, one of the specialists who kept badly wounded shinobi alive through delicate healing work. His most notable contributions came in reviving a critically injured Neji Hyuga and steadying Mizuki after a cursed seal turned on him.
Appearance
Kitō is almost entirely hidden by his work clothes. He wears the enveloping, high-collared bodysuit issued to Konoha's medical corps, an outfit that leaves nothing on show but a pair of dark eyes, keeping the rest of his features out of sight.
Abilities
As a trained healer, Kitō commands a solid foundation in medical ninjutsu, the accompanying knowledge of treatments, and the precise chakra control the discipline demands. His skill runs deep enough that he took part in the intricate procedure that pulled Neji Hyuga back from the edge of death, and he can also perform the Mystical Palm Technique to mend injuries directly.
