What is your purpose in life? A question that most people struggle with their entire lives. Suzaku has always has been more of a talker than a fighter. Violence is a means to an end in the shinobi world but, Suzaku does his best to avoid it all costs. He from a young age knew that he wasn't the violent type. When it came to schoolyard fights, Suzaku always took the diplomatic approach. Convince the other person it wasn't worth it or that he would be incapable of putting up a good enough opposition. Maybe it was cowardly. That is all about perspective. Suzaku avoids getting his hands dirty his peers got moral victories. Maybe, he was just helping improve the confidence of others. Either way, it worked out for him most of the time.
Especially in the Mist, you run into people that are not much for words. If Suzaku has to resort to combat, he's probably complaining the whole time. There is nothing that Suzaku has to do in this world that he hasn't tried to talk his way out of doing. It is not that he is lazy. The idea of having responsibilities is the real issue for Suzaku. He prefers going by the beat of his drum. Unlike most members of his clan, Suzaku refuses to file down his teeth. He does not like to be easily identifiable to anyone. It is better to blend into your surroundings. Anyone who does not in the shinobi world he believes is a target.
Unbeknownst to him, Suzaku is only a Hozuki in name. The parents who raised him are not even his. Suzaku is the child of a couple that was traveling through the mist along with a caravan of traders and others looking to turn a quick profit in the minor villages. Famous for its piracy the mist was not the best choice of villages to pass by. The caravan was attacked and most of its members were killed by the looters. Suzaku's father was one of the people able to escape the chaos. However, losing his wife was a loss he could not handle at the time. The fear and priority of himself making it out alive superseded his care for his infant son. A father who had just lost it all would give up the only thing he had left to a small family who sheltered him on his last night in Kirigakure. Most families would not have taken a stranger's child but they did due to an inability to create a child of their own. Suzaku believes them to be his birth parents. They are the only family he has ever known and they have given him nothing but love.
Taijutsu [Rookie]
Suzaku has been trained in the basics of martial arts to properly attack and defend himself in combat. His use of taijutsu, however, is almost always defensive. Sometimes it is best to be aware of your shortcomings. Suzaku does not pack a strong punch due to his smaller frame but by reacting rather than foolishly attacking he gives himself a better chance to catch someone off guard with a rightly timed blow. If he is unable to counter blows sometimes Suzaku may let himself get hit in an attempt to grab his opponent. He may not be a lethal grappler but a chokehold or armbar can prevent even the strongest of foes from fighting if they don't know a way out of the hold.
Kenjutsu [Rookie]
Can you even claim to be of the Mist village if you have not once picked up a sword? It's almost like instead of toys you are immediately given a sword. Suzaku has been trained by his father in the art of Kenjutsu. Due to his inexperience, most of his movements are sloppy and his strikes usually leave him with easy openings for his adversaries to take advantage of. Due to these weaknesses although he always carries his sword out of not wanting to disappoint his father very rarely is it used.
Stealth [Rookie]
Stealth is without a doubt one of the most important abilities that a shinobi must have. Being able to skillfully avoid detection or retrieving items without being noticed are things that Suzaku might one day become skillful at. Due to his desire to always play the background, he has some talent when it comes to blending into crowds or keeping quiet under distress. The lack of real mission experience has however prevented him from excelling at this to what his potential should be.
Eight Gates[Rookie]
Our bodies have natural limitations that prevent us from going above and beyond. Whether it be mental or just physical limitations that prevent us from running ourselves into the ground. These limitations are said to be protected by barriers called the Eight gates. Suzaku has been trained to get through the first gate known as the Gate of Opening. Located in the left hemisphere when Suzaku opens the gate his normally defensive style of combat is replaced with an attacking style that allows him to be more reckless than he normally would be. Although it does not increase his strength or speed sometimes being able to move without fear can be the difference between failure or success.
Katon Release [Rookie]
Imagine being raised by a clan known for its prowess with water and never even being able to use any of their abilities because you are not compatible with the element. Now take it a step further and imagine that you can use the element that is the exact opposite of your family. For Suzaku that is no dream, he was born with Katon release in his DNA. He still only understands only the basis of ninjutsu not truly being capable of doing much more than doing the bare minimum when it comes to damage. He's quite envious of his peers and their ability to use the hydrification technique but it is something that it looks like he will never be able to do at this point.
