Shinku Yūhi

Shinku Yūhi ( 夕日真紅 , Yūhi Shinku ) is a jōnin from Konohagakure . He oversees the training of the village's genin and chūnin .

## Background [ ]

During the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack , Shinku was seen placing the younger shinobi inside a barrier , informing them that they were to stay out of the fight against the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox , to which his daughter Kurenai voiced her discontentment. Shinku told his daughter that she was a shinobi who may or may not live a long life, and requested of her to live long enough to give him a grandchild whom the Will of Fire could be passed to.

## Personality [ ]

Shinku is a firm believer in the Will of Fire and considers that Konohagakure's young shinobi should not engage the Nine-Tails as they were the future of the village and that future should be protected.

## Appearance [ ]

Like his daughter, Shinku has black hair, and very distinctive ringed, red eyes. He also has a very prominent jawline and wore the standard Konoha shinobi outfit with what appeared to be slightly longer sleeves than usual, shinobi sandals, his forehead protector which he wore like a bandanna, and a flak jacket . Shinku also carries a sword strapped vertically over his right shoulder and a small cylindrical object strapped to his right lower back.

## Abilities [ ]

Shinku is at least proficient in kenjutsu considering he carries a sword with him. His skills are further attested to by his status of an Instructor entrusted with the training of genin and chūnin-level shinobi within the village.

## Trivia [ ]
