## Overview

**Kenji Nara** is a shinobi of Noharagakure's Nara clan. Though lazy by nature, Kenji has a rare intellect that consistently allows him to prevail in combat. The responsibilities that these successes leave him with cause him frequent annoyance, but he gladly accepts them so that he may be of service to his fellow members of Team 2, and to prove himself to generations of the past and future. He often carries around a book filled with Jutsu that he has learned over the years.

## Backstory

Kenji Nara was born into the Nara Clan 5 years after the birth of Bradley Nara. Though the brothers got along well Kenji was often compared to Bradley giving him the motivation he needed to surpass him. Although it took a lot of time and effort using his motivation he finally surpassed Bradley. Soon after this he joined team 2 along with Stan Uzumaki, Kagami Uchiha, and Jett Uchiha. Usually when tasked with a mission Kenji would comment on what a drag the mission was before complying and completing it. Kenji would often have shogi matches with Jett and other shinobi he deemed an intellectual challenge. The three teammates in team 2 were continuously caught in a deadlock no one being stronger than the other. The three did however get along well and fought beside each other well and constantly led to them prevailing in combat. This exceptional teamwork led to them being able to defeat Kroehling and Ibuse during the Third Shinobi World War and them being dubbed the "Three Legendary Sannin". They each considered each other their best friend and would often do things together outside of missions. This friendship took a dark turn after Stan made the deal with t he Shinigami and Kagami wiped out most of his clan. Soon after the destruction of the Hidden Clay Village the three tails was sealed into Kenji since his Nature Releases matched perfectly with the three tails. Kenji and Isobu had a rough start together but they eventually became extremely close. Later Team 2 was disbanded after Stan and Kagami abandoned the village. After learning about the Tailed Beast Ball, Kenji trained extremely hard for almost a year and created two new jutsu that added Yin and Water Release to the rasengan creating both Water Style: Otakatta, and Yin Style: Shadōbōru, the latter of which he declared a kinjutsu.

## Personality

Often considered lazy and boring Kenji Nara usually finds a decent amount of time to rest and relax instead of missions. Kenji , when facing tasks and missions, often calls everything "such a drag" but knows that he must do everything asked of him. Most others consider Kenji extremely trustworthy and often send him on the harder missions that nobody else can handle. Usually Kenji is calm and collected having a very analitical mind and almost never sugarcoats anything unless necessary. Although it is very unusual for him to get angry, Kenji has been angry before, like when he was angry at Kagami for calling himself a shinobi of the field after he abandoned the village and also during the Fourth Shinobi World War after Bradley Nara was killed. Otherwise he is most often emotionless not really caring about much and doesn't get involved in others' business .
