Manabu Chūjitsu

Fire Release

Manabu Chūjitsu is the Advisor to the fourth Tsuchikage, Ferrum Bovem. Being born and raised in Iwagakure he feels he has to protect it and its people at all cost. His strict upbringing made him quite knowledgeable in various areas which he uses to improve himself and the village.

## Background

Manabu can't say his childhood was tragic or anything. He was born into a family of a mother who was a teacher and a father who came from a more rural area. As a kid he'd often visit his grandparents where he'd play with children from there. One of those children was Ferrum Bovem who he kept in touch with as he was growing up. He was raised strictly by his mother, making him learn various things. He'd often have to spend his days studying and not be allowed to play. Opposite to his mother was his father, who would take it upon himself to take Manabu to visit his grandparents and to lighten up his load. That practice became a bit harder to keep as he was growing and his mother made him spend more and more time studying, but Manabu didn't exactly hate it. He'd often find his escape in various books and poetry and later even calligraphy.

Due to his mother's influence he became quite strict to both himself and others in the way they should act which made it a bit harder to make acquaintances with people. He wasn’t anyone who would stand out and even his school days weren’t exactly eventful. However his progress was steady and always present. He became a Jonin at age of 25. He has no family of his own despite his mother’s constant efforts to find him a wife. He helps his family as much as he can and spends his time perfecting his calligraphy and improving himself.

## Personality

Manabu is in short, a stickler. He prefers everything to be proper and orderly. He does not get loud even when angry, but he often sighs if things are not as he imagined. He is not shy to reprimand others or to express his opinion, however he does it as politely as possible which can be a challenge sometimes. He is very loyal and follows rules strictly. He might seem as such, but he is not unreasonable. With proper reasoning he might be persuaded to break a rule here and there, naturally that also depends on which rule is to be broken. He shows a bit more mischievous side of him to those he is close with.

Even though it rarely happens, when he is at a loss for words he will recite poetry fitting to the situation. When he is not sure how to express himself and is upset he will cite any poetry that comes to his mind. He is a man that likes anything that includes letters, so he will often be seen reading and writing. He is fond of those who share his hobbies and manners that were drilled into him since he was a child. His dislikes are vulgar people, brutes and messiness.

## Appearance

Manabu has dark brown hair that reaches his chin and light blue eyes. At the height of 5'11 he is considered on the taller side. He is of healthy weight for his height. He is not very muscular and has very pale skin. He has no defining marks until he uses some of his jutsu that adorn his skin with various kanji that are mostly hidden from the view of others by his clothes. His outfit usually consists of traditional clothes, mostly in red colors, as he finds the color very versatile.

#### Calligraphy

He was taught calligraphy since he was but a small child and has been perfecting it ever since. He uses his skill of calligraphy in various way; from relaxing to using it in his jutsu. He takes pride in this skill and is ready to teach it to anyone who is willing and respects the art. He never ceases to work on it and often gives out his work to those who wish to posses it as he believes that it is not something he should hold onto greedily.
