Kagari Uchiha

うちは カガリ

**Kagari Uchiha** (うちは篝, *Uchiha Kagari*) is a shinobi from Konohagakure's Uchiha clan. Kagari is the first born child of Kawaki and Lady Sarada Uchiha. Kagari was born during the time of restoration after the destruction of the village and the redemption of his father. He and his younger sister Kaigara have both gone through many hardships due to their fathers past. Kagari wants to one day become a Jonin Commander, although many have told him he has the qualities to become Hokage, Kagari rejects this though because he doesnt like what the Hokage position has done to his mother who despite being proud of her, he can still see the toll that being Hokage, especially during such a difficult time, has taken on her and does not wish to follow that same path. Kagari is considered a prodigy by many who despite the mistreatment he received, still persevered and became a ninja. He was placed on Team Ryogi alongside Kitsuki and Mayoi Ito

## Kairyō

The beginning starts with everyone on their last day at the academy before they graduate, Kagari is goofing off with Kitsuki and Hitsuki as usual while Kaigara sitting next to Berly Lee discuss their excitement of finally being done with the academy and becoming soon to be ninja's, before their all scolded by their teacher, Denki, for not paying attention.

## Abilities

### Medical Ninjutsu

Kagari was taught medical ninjutsu by his grandmother who was a pretty strict teacher. Initially Kagari wasnt very good at medical ninjutsu, but Sakura saw his potential and insisted he keep trying. Through much hard work and effort he finally got the hang of and has become quite proficient, able to skillfully use the Mystical Palm Technique to heal his comrades injuries with precision as well as use Chakra Scalpel for delicate surgeries, and can even apply them outside their intended use and use them offensively. His chakra control is also refined enough to where he's able to use an advanced form of medical ninjutsu such as the Poison Mist technique efficiently, which was taught to him by Shizune.

### Intelligence

While she was at the Academy, Kagari received consistently high test scores. Despite often goofing off still makes time to study, to the point he's almost memorized all the medical books in the library, which is no easy feat. In combat he usually takes on the offensive role, but he sometimes plays support as well. Kagari isnt as proficient in taijutsu as his sister, but he makes up for it with strategy and ninjutsu, being the most analytical on his team they often rely on him to come up with strategies.

Kagari often likes to outsmart his enemies and usually uses reverse psychology to mess with his opponents heads. Kagari also plays dumb to lure his enemies into a false sense of security and usually puts on a goofy and clumsy act to seem incompetent, convincingly enough that people genuinely believe it.

## Creation and conception

Kagari's design is still a work in progress but for the most part its still the same as his initial conception. Originally Kagari had half black and half blonde hair parted towards the lest side of his head, however I changed this into just being a portion of his bangs, a decision that was slightly inspired by the character Kazuha from Genshin impact who also has a small portion of his hair a different color than the rest, except Kazuha's is on the right side of his hair while Kagari's is on his left. His hair was also loosely influenced by Aether who also has short hair at the top and long hair at the bottom.

   Besides his hair I also took inspiration from Genshin for his clothes as well, his hoodie is inspired by the character Chongyun, but there are several subtle differences from it. His shorts were also somewhat influenced by another character Xingqiu.

The rhombus imagery on his clothes are a reference to Kawaki's karma as well as the Byakugou seal.

Kagari's pajama's have 3 rhombus on the front, originally there was only one diamond but then I realized it kind of put me in the mind of the sims so I changed it from 1 diamond to 3, which is considered to be a lucky number in Japan.

## Trivia

* His name Kagari (篝) translates to 'bonfire' a reference to the Uchiha clan and their affinity for fire jutsu.
* Kagari and Kaigara were named in reference of their parents, Kagari was in reference to his mothers clan who had an affinity for fire jutsu, and Kaigara was in reference to Kawaki.
* The 3 diamonds on his shirt is suggestive of the three-leaf crest of the Tosa Clan, and also of the three stacked rhombuses of the Iwasaki family crest.
* Kagari has a pet goldfish named Matcha.

## Notes

The Title 'Kairyō' (改良) roughly translates to *'restoration/reform'*

This takes place after Konoha's destruction and the resolution of all the Otsutsuki and Kara threats. In short, this story takes place some time after Kawaki is redeemed and atoned for his sins and Sarada has become the 9th Hokage, Kagari and his sister however are born before Sarada becomes Hokage but are born and grow up as the village is still being rebuilt. Sarada and Kawaki are around their early 20s when their kids are born and in their 30s by the time the beginning of Kairyō starts.

Kagari and all other characters mentioned [Kaigara, Kitsuki, Mayoi] belong to RavenAveira on twitter/hanyouren on DA. Most of the images I use are edited screenshots but I also draw too.
