Sajin
CharacterSajin was a newly minted chunin of Sunagakure who joined the surprise strike on Konohagakure known as the Konoha Crush. With almost no field missions behind him, the freshly promoted ninja fell during the invasion, undone by the shadow jutsu of Shikaku Nara.
Appearance
Cropped brown hair topped Sajin, who turned out in the typical gear of a Suna shinobi. That kit ran to a flak jacket, a forehead protector, and the usual sandals, with a holster of shuriken fastened at his right thigh.
Personality
Little survives about Sajin's temperament. He had barely earned his chunin rank when the order came to march on Konohagakure, so he went into the attack with hardly any real mission experience to lean on.
