The lives of children are always shaped by choices outside of their control, and Daichi Konishi is no different. When he was but three years old his father decided that he wasn't satisfied with his life as a shinobi in Sunagakure. He claimed that they refused to promote him to jonin because they were out to get him or something. Even after years of hearing his rambling complaints Daichi doesn't quite understand the reasons down to this day. What he does know is that his father decided to defect to the village's enemies, Amegakure, offering valuable intelligence as a show of good faith. The family patriarch claims that this intelligence was vital to the downfall of Sunagakure, but not even his own family believes that to be true. In fact, all his boasts do is further ostracize a family whose reputation was now built upon betraying those they had sworn loyalty to.
Ever since he was old enough to begin training, Daichi's father began pushing him toward being a shinobi. It was his duty as the only child to make a name for the family, and to establish them as a key force within their new homeland. While he never cared much for his father's delusions of grandeur, the father's manipulations still managed to leave a mark on his son. The boy was strongly motivated to become not just a shinobi, but a man of great renown. Even without his father's prodding, he started to work day and night to further his training. He needed something, anything that would set him apart from the other prospects. Unfortunately, he was always a terribly ordinary child. No special bloodlines, no hidden potential and no grand master to guide him. He would always be nothing more than ordinary.
But what kind of hero gets where they are through pure hard work and no talent? No, if he was going to be recognized it had to be because he was special. And so he took to training in secret, sneaking off to isolated places to try and perfect his jutsu where no one would see it. Maybe if he appeared to be someone who was naturally gifted in the arts he would be worthy of attention. Unfortunately, this training did little more than allow him to keep up with his peers. Even after graduating to the rank of genin, he was just another young ninja looking to serve. The only thing he was known for was his pushy father constantly trying to find ways to give his son an advantage.
Daichi is little more than a young ninja doing his best to stand out and be seen. There is nothing he wouldn't do just to have someone look at him with eyes of admiration. Nothing is more important than being cool, as vague of a notion as that is. Though to a 15 year old it couldn't be more simple. If he just pretends to be aloof, snarky and 'too cool for school' then surely people will see how awesome he is. Why bother being genuine or true to himself when he could just put on a front that people would actually like? It's not as if there was any value to just trying to be himself.
Taijutsu [Rookie]
Most definitely not his specialty, but Daichi is aware that it is an important aspect of his training. One never knows when they will be forced to directly engage with a target without the benefits of weaponry, right? Though for the most part his specialty is less in actually winning a fight in close quarters and more surviving long enough to get some distance from his opponent. Daichi tends to focus more on defending, choosing to block and evade strikes rather than attempting to land any of his own. Even compared to other genin he isn't exceptionally strong, his strengths lying more in the realm of speed and wit. So instead he tries to bide his time and wait for an opening to make his blows count.
Shurikenjutsu [Rookie]
Something he has been working on for quite a while now, but has yet to yield the results he has been hoping for. Shuriken are well suited to his preferred methods of fighting, as it opens the door for many potential strategies using a variety of different tools. Though at the moment he is still working to perfect his usage of shuriken and kunai, as his adventures with tags thus far have done more harm than good. He is always more comfortable with a kunai in his hand, and is always looking for opportunities to put it to use. While close quarters combat isn't his style, he always fares much better with a kunai in hand than with his bare hands. So far his accuracy is solid, but he struggles to reliably hit a target if he throws more than one weapon at a time.
Stealth [Rookie]
Moving unseen is one of the most basic ninja arts. And while it is the one realm where his father could be considered a master, it is not something Daichi has caught on to just yet. When all you want is to be seen and impress the world, the art of remaining undetected tends to take a back seat to the more overt techniques. That being said, he definitely has potential to be covert. His natural skills and talents would make one think that he's a natural. And he would be if he could be convinced to put more practice in. But until then, he will remain mediocre at best in all things sneaky.
Earth Release [Journeyman]
Though hard work and dedication to refining his techniques, Daichi’s unique ‘Dust Style’ has finally started to take on a tangible form. In addition to using standard earth techniques to create simple structures, he has discovered a means to control the individual particles of dust he has created. This technique is extremely specific, centered around using the chakra within the dust itself to form bonds between them. This allows him to control large amounts of dust particles without any more drain on his chakra than standard techniques, as each piece of dust is virtually weightless. Even grains of sand would be too heavy for this to be an effective means of manipulation, making this an extremely specific technique.
By utilizing these principles, he is able to control the flow of the dust he generates. This can take the form of moving and shaping a cloud, or condensing dust into solid stone. This serves as an effective means of disruption as well as attack, as it allows him to launch solid projectiles from his dust clouds to attack from unexpected angles. This chakra infused dust of his is particularly irritating as well, causing those who come into contact with it to suffer from lingering eye irritation and bouts of sneezing. It’s a strange form of Earth Release, but slowly Daichi has started to show that he might be on to something here.
Rhinoceros Contract [Rookie]
Daichi has signed a contract with the rhinos. Performing the summoning technique, they can now summon [1/2/3/4/5] different members of the rhinos contract.

Daichi has signed a contract with the rhinos. Performing the summoning technique, they can now summon [1/2/3/4/5] different members of the rhinos contract.
↳ Kodokuna Hori Kodo is among the youngest members of the Idaina go Tsunoyama, and she absolutely hates it. The young warrior is constantly seeking to prove herself in battle, and will never hesitate to throw herself into a conflict without a single question asked. All she needs to know is who she's supposed to be skewering with that pointy horn of hers. Personally, she believes that entrusting herself to a human was a poor decision on her patriarch's part. But she has had to take enough lumps from those above her in this quest for glory that she knows not to go against what she's told. And so she reluctantly offers her services to Daichi, even if she's fairly sure HE'S the one who should be listening to HER.
The young rhino's connection with the earth is natural, much like most of her kind. Though she chooses not to use it beyond enhancing her own physical abilities. She much prefers getting in the thick of it, skewering and stomping her opposition with her own brute force. As such, she has learned to use doton to enhancer her mobility. Along with being able to walk along any vertical or horizontal surface, she is able to burrow underground with ease. While submerged, she is able to move with as much speed and power as she would above ground, and is even able to dip under or pop out mid stride. While underground, she is able to use her horn to sense the movements of those above, allowing her to track targets down even when she can't see them. While only standing at about three and a half feet tall, her broad form is capable of easily transporting a human adult. Though any additional burden would significantly slow her down and make combat more difficult. Though she wouldn't admit that any time soon.
