Dōshu Goetsu is a Konohagakure genin assigned to Team 40, a dependable youngster who anchors his squad through the Academy years and the Boruto era. He specialises in binding techniques and cooperative sealing, later picking up medical training so his team always has a healer on hand.
Green dominates Dōshu's wardrobe, from the peaked hat down to the matching pullover and scarf, offset by a dark purple vest, blue trousers, and pale bluish sandals. His brown hair falls in bangs that hide his left eye, and his eyes carry that same brown tone. Once he graduated, he fixed his forehead protector to the right flank of his hat.
Even before leaving the Academy, Dōshu had grown proficient in sealing arts and in techniques built around teamwork. His String Light Formation pins an opponent in place, and when he links it with other practitioners the Multiple String Light Formation amplifies that hold considerably. On assignments he favours chakram restraints he can launch from range, and he shoots a blowgun with real precision. After reaching genin, he added medical ninjutsu to his repertoire.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

Naruto built the transformation jutsu himself, and the Hidden Leaf has been quietly not talking about it ever since. The story behind our 90s R&B record about the Naruko question everybody dodges....
A responsible boy who stays loyal to those around him, Dōshu came up through the Academy in the same generation as Boruto Uzumaki, and he was among the classmates left stunned when Boruto barrelled a train into the Hokage Monument on ceremony day. His graduation hinged on a bell test against Kakashi Hatake, where the students, following Boruto's scheme, snared the Sixth Hokage in a group String Light Formation, and although no one claimed the bell, Kakashi passed them all for grasping the exercise's real lesson about trust. He then landed on Team 40 beside Enko Onikuma and Tsuru Itoi.
The squad chased the thieving Byakuya Gang, stumbled early out of the Chūnin Exams after tumbling into ink, and hit a rough patch when Enko's power injured their jōnin and Ibiki Morino moved to break the team apart. With help from Boruto, Sarada, and Mitsuki, Dōshu and Tsuru learned to see past their fear of Enko, reaching her in a moment of loneliness and earning the team's reinstatement, after which Dōshu began medical training so the group would always field a healer. Later he honoured the war dead at a memorial service and joined a fresh round of Chūnin Exams under Naruto, clearing the first test before a sand pit in the Forest of Death ended his second.
