A well-rounded shinobi who has recently come into his station as the raikage. His predecessor left him with sour relations with the Hidden Mist, and he is charged with defending new territories from watery invasions.
Izuna has a humble background, working as an academy instructor through much of his shinobi career and working his way up to being the head of the academy. For a time it was thought that he didn't have what it took to move from special jonin to jonin, as he lacked focus in his talents.
Izuna has taken the same method to life as he has as a ruler: measured and proportionate. Unlike the other Kage who may rule with authority, Izuna is a friendly face with a shrewd eye for trade that has seen him make concessions in more ways than one. You might think him a lazy ruler, but this could be farther from the truth. Probably the most likely to be up at all hours, Izuna is balanced in every other walk of life except to rule, for which in some ways is his weakness, spending more time pruning for different opinions and acting on the 'majority will'.
This has led to him being seen as soft by some, and well liked by others - for not all see what he does on a day to day basis. An overworker by far, but not lacking in spirit or restraint as a result.
Izuna has been meeting with Otogakure with interests in establishing diplomatic ties with the village, but his most pressing concern is with the Hidden Mist Village invading Kumo's islands.
Lava Release [Grand Master]
Izuna is unrivaled in his ability with lava release, controlling it masterfully in multiple forms granting him great versatility. From his mouth he can spew a fast moving line of volcanic ash that carves a narrow path of material that can span the distance of a large building in a matter of seconds. A direct hit from one of these attacks will incinerate all but the most fire resistant materials, and coat the target in thick caustic ash that clings to the skin and hardens. Painful to breathe, a thick wall of smoke hangs in the air for hours, resistant to anything but the strongest futon techniques. He is also capable of forming a rubbery substance that can be shaped freely. Quickly able form a rubbery staff that is extremely flexible, bending without breaking against most blows. Alternatively, it can be used to shape terrain, creating independent walls, complex shapes, or 'shrapnel' like blasts. Izuna also has his strongest offense in combination with his Bo Staff; an eruption of molten earth at point blank range.
Earth Release [Master]
An earth release master, Izuna can manipulate large amounts of land at a time, consuming buildings if he so wished. Not fond of these more grand conceits, he has spent a large amount of time perfecting his basics, allowing him to cause earth nearby him to shoot up with the lift of a finger. Effective for forming staves in a gesture, his surface walking allows him to turn the ruptured ground into an effective way to move in any direction. Because of his focus, he can do this incredibly efficiently with his chakra.
Bojutsu [Veteran]
Izuna is well practiced in using traditional staff techniques, having formed his own self-taught style. Bounding around open and tight areas alike with bouncy footwork and multiple staves, Izuna rarely relies on just one weapon at a time. Various flexible leaps off the rods, combination sweeps, and various forms of thrusting techniques, he has a varied level of execution that lacks heavily in stopping power, and is far from the fastest.
Fire Release[Journeyman]
Izuna's fire release knowledge is respectable. He has predominantly focused on learning fire breathing techniques to blanket immediate areas in front of him with intense flame. He has mastered basic shaping of flames as they leave his body, although exercises no ability to influence them afterwards. He also knows a handful of survival techniques for warming his body in cold environments.
Taijutsu [Journeyman]
Izuna is practiced in jiu-jitsu, a style focused around manipulating an opponents force against them. Focusing on pins, reversals, and take downs it is a more reactionary style that is honed for self defense. While he isn't a master of empty-handed fighting he does have a good deal of technical knowledge on the subject and is quick to punish clumsy attacks.
Stealth [Apprentice]
Izuna has gained a little more knowledge throughout the years in utilizing stealth techniques than the basics taught in academy, but it isn't something he has specialized into heavily. Some might be fooled, as the thick ashen clouds of his ninjutsu tend to block out many conventional detection methods. He knows enough to take advantage of this to get to a more advantageous position on occasion, giving him an odd niche with the abilities even though he wouldn't be stellar at setting up an ambush.

↳ Son Goku is a somewhat abnormally thick bo staff, with either end showing a hole leading near the center of the staff. A blend of chakra reactive metals allow for jutsu to be molded through the staff, and launched from either end. He relies on his elemental techniques for staves otherwise.
