Ari Gato
Gender: Male. Age: 24.
Team 5's jonin (elite ninja) leader, Ari is one of the youngest jonin in the village.
Having become a jonin at the age of 17 and gone through ANBU training, he has a lot of
techniques in his arsenal, and is often favoured by the Raikage for his uncanny luck
and success rate in missions. Because of this, many of the other jonin leaders and
ninja in the village are cold towards him for taking the best missions (and therefore
the best pay). Although he may sound rough, he is a light-hearted, friendly person who
enjoys spending time with his quirky team. Not much is known about his past.
Lesotho Taizawa
Gender: Male. Age: 28.
A Chuunin (journeyman-class ninja) in Kumogakure, he teaches genin at the Ninja
Academy. He taught Hanya and Mero's class for more than six years, and it almost drove
him to insanity (believe it or not, he is sane). His father is of the rank of one of
Konoha's legendary Sannin, yet he was not favoured by the teachers when he was young,
and failed the Chuunin exam twice. He holds a grudge against Ari for becoming a Jonin
at a younger age than him, with Lesotho's father as his team leader. Lesotho adores
instant food and town history, and sees Mero as his greatest rival and enemy.
