Sansho
CharacterSansho attends the Konohagakure Academy and has a real taste for pranks, much like a young Naruto. He runs with his classmates Tsukune and Mibuna, and the trio's mischief lands them in front of their instructor Iruka during the Blank Period.
Appearance
Black eyes sit beneath a head of short, greyish-brown hair. He dresses in a vest of light orange and wears a purple cap on his head.
Personality
He is on good terms with classmates Tsukune and Mibuna and, in the mold of Naruto, is a born troublemaker who loves a good prank. Pressed by Iruka at first, he played dumb, insisting the group was just in the middle of hide-and-seek. Still, a moral compass flickers in him: once Tsukune set his sights on stealing the Scroll of Seals, Sansho and Mibuna wanted no part and bolted.
