Tsuchino
CharacterTsuchino is a former academy student of Sunagakure best remembered as one of the frightened children who fled from a young Gaara. Leader of his little group of friends, he shows a cruel streak toward those he judges to lack ninja talent.
Appearance
Tsuchino has short, spiky black hair and dark eyes to match.
Personality
He loves nothing more than playing with his friends, yet people like Gaara leave him terrified. The anime paints him as unkind toward the unskilled, looking down on anyone weak in the ninja arts.
History
As the ringleader of a group that included Abiru, Kashike, and Tomari, Tsuchino once bolted in fear when Gaara tried to join their play. Gaara's sand lashed out as he tried to stop them, snapping Tsuchino's leg, and only Yashamaru's sudden arrival spared the boys from being crushed entirely. On another occasion, Tsuchino and his friends pelted Shira with rocks and jeered at him for failing to enter the academy, mocking his weakness in ninjutsu and genjutsu.
