Darui

Darui is a supporting character in the Naruto anime and manga series. He is a sensor ninja from the Hidden Cloud Village aka Kumogakure. He is able to emit rays of light with his chakra to hurt enemies and temporarily blind them so he can make his move. He has a small curved sword that he can use to dish some damage to his enemies as well. He is known to be one of the two assistants of the Raikage A. After the Fourth Great Ninja War, Darui become the Fifth Raikage when A the Fourth Raikage choose to retire due to losing his left hand.
He is voiced by Ryota Takeuchi, who also voiced Kojūrō Katakura and Kagekatsu Uesugi from the Samurai Warriors franchise in the Japanese version, and by Catero Colbert and Ogie Banks in the English version.
==Appearance==
Darui is fairly tall in stature and has a dark skin color, a lazy look in his eyes and white, shaggy hair which covers the left side of his face.
==Abilities==
Being a high ranking jonin and being a bodyguard of the Raikage, Darui is very powerful. He is very good with kenjutsu, wielding a large cleaver-like sword, it's peculiar from others swords as it folds in two to be sheathed and unfolds when in use. He is also very proficient in nature transformation and has a kekkai genkai known as storm release, which combines both lightning and water chakra to create many beams of energy that can be guided like missiles. He is also able to use a form of lightning release called black lightning that was passed onto him by the Third Raikage. He is also good at chakra flow which allows him to stream electricity into his cleaver or other weapons, increasing their cutting ability.
==Personality==
Darui is portrayed as being easy-going and mellow; when compared to the Fourth Raikage's over-the-top exit through a window (destroying the surrounding wall along with it), he tells C that he'll just use the door. Whilst having a laid-back demeanor, Darui is not lazy, leaping to the Raikage's defense when the bodyguards of the other Kage overreact to the Raikage's actions. He also has a habit of referring to things or events as being "dull" a play on his name.
==Biography==
Darui appears escorting the Fourth Raikage to the Kage Summit along with C. He was present throughout the meeting including the time when Sasuke and Taka infiltrated summit, to the Raikage's battle against Sasuke, and Tobi's appearance and declaration of the Fourth Ninja War. Darui along with the Raikage and C found out that Killer B had survived after the brothers stopped Kisame Hoshikage. In preparation for the Fourth Ninja War, Darui was the leader of the First Division Army for the Allied Shinobi Forces. During the war, he fights against the undead Gold and Silver Brothers and managed to seal away the brothers and stopped Kinkaku's rampage. Later during the first day, Tobi appears and attacks the army with the Demonic Statue to retrieve the sealed away Gold and Silver brothers to use them as sacrifices to summon the Ten-Tails. On the second night of war, Darui appears and assists the Shinobi Alliance against Tobi, who is now revealed to be Obito Uchiha, Madara Uchiha, and the Ten-Tails. As the battle escalates, Obito is defeated by the combined efforts of the Shinobi Alliance, but Madara became the Ten-Tails jinchuuriki and manages to place the entire world in the dream world via Infinite Tsukyomi. However, after Madara's defeat, Darui along with the rest of the world, were released from the Infinite Tsukyomi.
After the Fourth Ninja War, Darui became the Fifth Raikage of the Hidden Lightning Village. Since the war, the kage would gather more information on Kaguya Otsutsuki and would attend meetings with other kage about any new information regarding Kaguya or any threats out there on her level. During the chunnin exams, Momoshiki and Kinshiki Otsutsuki attacked the village and abducted Naruto. Darui and the other kage joined the battle against Momoshiki to save Naruto and manages to bring him back to the village. Since the attack, Darui and other kage have been cooperating.
