Appearance: Hira Shino is a tall tanned boy. He is rather muscular granted his age and wears sunglasses. He has black hair and gray eyes which he does not like showing off. He wears a black trench coat and underneath a red shirt. His pants and long and scratched up at the knee. He also wears a pair of black and white sneakers. He also has a black hat on backwards.
Orientation: Straight
Jutsus:
A Rank:
Doton: Yomi Numa- This jutsu turns a large area of land into a sinking swampland, making it impossible for anyone or anything in that area to move around. The size of the swamp is proportionate to the amount of chakra used to perform the technique. When performed by a drugged Jiraiya, this technique only created a large, semi-deep swamp that merely inhibited the movement of the snakes it was targeting. When performed properly, it is supposed to engulf the target completely.
Bunshin Daibakuha- This jutsu works in combination with the Shadow Clone Technique to create a shadow clone that will explode on command. The blast created is considerable, and could potentially kill an attacker engaged in hand-to-hand combat.
Chidori-This jutsu is Kakashi's only original technique, though he now uses an S-ranked version known as the Lightning Blade. He created it around the time he was promoted to Jonin, and later taught it to Sasuke. This jutsu channels a large amount of chakra into the user's arm. The amount of chakra is so great that it becomes visible to the naked eye. The technique actually alters the nature of the user's chakra, effectively converting it into electricity. As a side effect of the conversion process, the large amount of chakra, and the speed at which the user moves, this technique makes a loud noise similar to many birds chirping, hence the name (if the user is not in motion, it merely makes an electric crackling sound). Once the technique is completed, the user charges forward and stabs their enemy with it. The amount of thrust combined with the large concentration of chakra allows the user to stab through almost anything; as such it is usually fatal to the enemy. This technique is classified as an assassination technique because of the speed at which it is performed, despite the loud noise it produces.
This jutsu has a major drawback, however. The speed at which the attack must be done, combined with the fact that the user must run in a straight line, causes a tunnel vision-like effect for the user. This allows their enemy to easily counter the attack, making it a potentially lethal move for the user. Though this drawback would seem to make learning the technique fairly pointless, Sasuke and Kakashi are able to avoid the drawback because of their Sharingan eyes, which take in every detail regardless of how fast the user is moving. As an additional drawback, the large amount of chakra required limits its use to a few times a day (two for Sasuke, four for Kakashi). Sasuke can manage one more than normal with the use of his cursed seal. Should the user attempt to go beyond their limit, all of their chakra will be drained and their very life force could go along with it, killing them. An additional problem, though not necessarily a debilitating one, is the fact that the large amount of chakra can also injure the user's hand if they put too much force into the attack. Sasuke does this while battling his brother, Itachi, causing some of the skin to peel from his hand and leaving it slightly smoldering after the attack was finished.
Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu- A modification of the Shadow Clone Technique, the user throws one shuriken at the victim and then uses this jutsu to create multiple copies of the shuriken to make the attack more powerful.
Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu- This jutsu is basically a massive version of the Shadow Clone Technique. Instead of a few clones, it creates a few hundred clones (or a number of equal grandeur). This is considered a forbidden technique, because it can potentially be dangerous to the person performing it, seeing as how all of the clones are given an equal amount of chakra directly from the user. Naruto learned the technique from the scroll of forbidden seals written by the First Hokage and used it to save Iruka Umino from Mizuki. Few people are able to use this technique effectively, due to the large amount of chakra it consumes. This weakness does not apply to Naruto due to his demon fox chakra, which allows him to create upwards of 2,000 clones while maintaining a decent supply of chakra in each one. This technique is also used by Naruto to train quickly, since all the clones share their experiences with Naruto, but it causes extreme mental fatigue with repeated use.
Rasengan- The Rasengan is a technique invented by the Fourth Hokage after three years of development. It requires a very high level of chakra control. The Rasengan incorporates the chakra control learned from the tree-climbing and water-walking exercises to create a ball of concentrated, spinning chakra in the user's hand that is roughly the size of a softball. For training purposes, teaching the technique is broken into three steps. The first, emphasizing rotation, the user has to learn to pop a water balloon by spinning the water inside in multiple directions with their chakra. The second step, emphasizing power, they do the same with a solid rubber ball. Since the rubber is thicker and air is completely different from water, it forces the user to rely mostly on denser chakra to break it. The final step, emphasizing control, the user has to form a complete Rasengan by combining what they learned in the previous two steps and making a ball shape shell around the spinning chakra to hold it in regular shape. A regular balloon is often used to train making the shell.
B Rank:
Katon: Karyū Endan- This technique exhales a long stream of incredibly hot fire from the user's mouth, not unlike that of a flamethrower.
Chōdan Bakugeki- This attack is an chakra enhanced downward punch. It creates a large crater and can cave in an enemy's chest.
Doton: Iwayado Kuzushi- This jutsu dislodges rocks above an opponent to crush them.
Suiton: Suiryūdan no Jutsu- Using this jutsu, the user creates a huge current of water in the form of a serpentine dragon and directs it towards a target. The water used to create the dragon must be present to perform the technique. This technique requires 44 hand seals to perform, more than five times that of almost every other jutsu shown in the series. In the manga, the Second Hokage needs only one hand seal to perform this technique, a testament to his skill.
Suiton: Suijinheki- This jutsu creates a water barrier to protect the user from any offensive attacks. Both the Second Hokage and Kakashi Hatake were able to perform this without a water source by spitting the water from their mouths.
Suiton: Suigadan- This jutsu creates a circle of crushing water spikes around the opponent.
Kage Bunshin no Jutsu- Similar to the Clone Technique, this jutsu creates clones of the user. Unlike the Clone Technique, these clones are actual copies, not illusions. The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power. The clones are capable of performing jutsu on their own and can even bleed, but will usually disperse after one or two solid blows. They can also disperse on their own. Unlike other clones, they can't be detected by the Byakugan because the clones have the exact same amount of chakra and aren't made from any other substance, making them indistinguishable from the actual person. Sasuke Uchiha claims that the Sharingan can tell the difference during his battle with Naruto at the Valley of the End.
C Rank:
Katon: Ryūka no Jutsu- The user breathes fire along a cord or any other type of long object. While the technique is shown in the anime to be even larger and more devastating than Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, in the manga it is shown to be nothing more than a small burst of flame running along a line of wire.
Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu- Utilizing a large amount of chakra, a large ball of flame is exhaled from the user's mouth. When an Uchiha clan member masters this technique, they are recognized as an adult. This technique also seems to be fairly common amongst Konoha's Chunin-level ninja.
Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu- This jutsu sends multiple balls of fire at a target. It is also possible to hide shurikens within the fireballs, creating an unexpected secondary surprise attack. For the most part, however, this jutsu is used as a distraction. Oki's form is less effective, shown when Naruto just brushed it away.
Doton: Doroku Gaeshi- After striking the ground with his hands, Jirobo creates a large wall of earth that rises into place as defense. The defense is not perfect though, since a hard or drilling impact can puncture the wall.
Suirō no Jutsu- This jutsu is used to trap a victim inside a virtually inescapable sphere of water. The only downside to this technique is that the user must keep at least one arm inside the sphere at all times in order for the victim to remain imprisoned. Clones can be used in place of the actual person, provided that the clone is the one that performed the technique. This jutsu can't be performed without a sufficiently large body of water to supply the water for it
Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu- This jutsu creates one or more identical copies of the user out of water. Like the Shadow Clone Technique, these clones are capable of attacking and using jutsu, but they are easier to defeat because they are only one-tenth of the user's power. Additionally, they can only be controlled within a certain distance of the user.

Strengths: His first and largest advantage is his vast knowledge of Ninjutsu techniques of all elements and all levels. He is also very smart granted that he must be to have this library of jutsus in his memory. His other advantage is his skills with the spear and shield because of his history as one of Hyoukagakure's Spartans.
Weaknesses: He is incredibly quiet and his only friend is Maguma Kazan. He has no skill in Genjutsu and his Taijutsu is below average. He is antisocial and can be described as a punk. He is slow due to the shield and spear and most of the jutsus he knows are difficult to perform.
Background: Hira Shino was the first child in his family and the last. His father had lung cancer and died when Shino was only five. When he became ten he went to the Hyoukagakure army and was so good that he had a chance to become the elite of the elite in Hyoukagakure. He became a Hyoukagakure Spartan at the age of fifteen and fought alongside Maguma Kazan. When Kazan was pronounced dead Shino left the army. He later found Kazan in the Iscariot and became his bodyguard.

"Mommy! Mommy! Look at what I can do!" yelled a five year old Shino. He recently used the Henge no Jutsu and wanted to show off to his mom and dad. He knew that his mom and dad would be proud of them. The always said that he was going to be the best of the best. The Elite of Hyoukagakure. One of the Spartans. He always wanted to learn, he always wanted to be like his father. A war veteran with a good wife and a happy family. He ran into his house and called out "Mommy? Daddy?". He walked in looking around for his parents. He soon found himself past the kitchen and into his parent's room. He ran over to a large case which belonged to his father and stared into it. Inside was a large shield almost twice his size and a long red spear longer than his own father. "Wow...." he exclaimed in excitement. He smiled at the spear and imagined himself alongside his fellow country men fighting against Yamigakure. Soon his mother walked into the room crying sadly. Shino turned and looked up at his mother and said "Mommy?". She fell to the floor in front of him and said "I'm so sorry Shino...". Shino walked over closer hugged his mother and said "Don't worry mommy... it's okay...". She wept harder and said "Daddy's... not coming home today honey...". Shino hugged his mother and held her closer. "It's okay mommy... we'll just wait for him...". His mother held him knowing full well that her husband would never come home.
[Ten Years Old]
Shino was standing in a line with three men checking thousands of Hyoukagakure boys on three tables. Shino's turn came up and he walked up to the table. The man checked his name. "Hiro Shino? Are you in good physical health?" the man asked raising an eyebrow. Shino replied in a strong voice "Yes commander!". The commander nodded and said "Remind me of your father... he was a strong man... I hope you're only half as strong....". Shino bowed and went into a white room. He sat down on a table and waited for a doctor to inspect him. 'Oh god.. look at me... I'm hideously fat...' he thought looking at a mirror. The doctor walked into the room and smiled. "Hello there..." he said as Shino bowed. The doctor smiled and motioned him to get up. Shino got nervous and thought 'Please don't notice the fat...'. The doctor poked his stomach which on the contrary was rather solid. "Working out I see..." the doctor said smiling kindly. Shino poked his own stomach and said "And here I thought I was disgusting....". The doctor chuckled and felt his muscles, checked his blood pressure, lungs and heart rate. The doctor checked him off as good. "Amazing... you're as healthy and fit as your father was when he was younger...". Shino chuckled and said "My dad was really famous around the ranks wasn't he?". The doctor nodded and said "He was strong... brave, smart and and expert with his weapons.... certainly one of the best Hyoukagakure had to offer.... and you seem similar to him...". Shino smiled and went on his way. Happy that he matched his dad's physical ability.

Shino was sitting in a tent with another boy. They were both reading some magazines transported to them from family and friends. "Hey... Kazan..." Shino said in angst. Kazan looked up from his magazine and said "Yea? What's up?" in a slightly gruff voice. He looked around his twenties but was really in his teens. "Ya think that what they said was true? About that large Yamigakure army coming in over the hills?" Shino asked without a hint of worry but rather of interest. Kazan thought about it. "We are inside of Shigun.... we're around a day's march from Yamigakure... and we're and invading force... yea definitely..." Kazan said looking into his magazine again. Shino shrugged and said "Well they'll never get past us... Hyoukagakure Spartans are the best of the best...". Kazan nodded and said "Yea... but don't seem so sure... they say you should never declare victory in front of death....". Shino chuckled and shrugged. Soon a commander ran into the tent and said "Get ready boys... they're coming!". Shino and Kazan both got up and went into the Phalanx that was formed. The shields covered them and the person on their left while the front men had their spears underneath the shield. Shino was in the front with Kazan next to him. The force was large. Larger than the Spartans force. But the difference was that the Spartans were the most elite. The reason there were few of them was because the ones that aren't there were dead. Above that they weren't dead in the battlefield. They were dead in the training grounds. The battle that ensued was short fought. The Yamigakure force was that of their weakest men so the battle lasted less than an hour. Shino sighed when the battle was done and commenced with killing the survivors and looking for his friend. "No mercy for the weak, no pity for the dying and no tears for the..." he said walking. He then realized a body that didn't belong. Instead of the black leather belonging to the Yamigakure infantry it had bronze armor. A large shield and larger spear. And it looked like Kazan. "Slain?" Shino finished as he fell to his knees. Kazan was proclaimed dead that day.
[Eighteen Years Old]
Shino looked up at the roof of his house. Tired yet not sleepy. He looked to his side and stared at his shield and spear. 'It's been six years....' he thought sadly. He got up out of bed and sighed. His mother died around two years ago of lung cancer. 'Idiots kept on smoking those cigarettes...' he thought as he walked to the kitchen. He yawned tired as he heard someone knock the door. "Who is it?" he called out. A gruff voice answered "You know damn well who it is...". Shino knew who it was but shook his head. "I'm losing my mind..." he said as he opened the door. He froze noticing that he was right. Kazan, his old friend, was staring him down. "Hello there..." Kazan said smiling at his old friend. After a few days of catching up, Shino joined Kazan in the Iscariot Unit, as his bodyguard. When the police searched his home, they found neither his spear nor his shield.

His mother died around two years ago of lung cancer. 'Idiots kept on smoking those cigarettes...' he thought as he walked to the kitchen. He yawned tired as he heard someone knock the door. "Who is it?" he called out. A gruff voice answered "You know damn well who it is...". Shino knew who it was but shook his head. "I'm losing my mind..." he said as he opened the door. He froze noticing that he was right. Kazan, his old friend, was staring him down. "Hello there..." Kazan said smiling at his old friend. After a few days of catching up, Shino joined Kazan in the Iscariot Unit, as his bodyguard. When the police searched his home, they found neither his spear nor his shield.
