Suigetsu Hozuki

Suigetsu Hozuki is a frequent recurring comic relief character in Discordtopia. He lives in a van with Sasuke Uchiha, Karin Uzumaki, some other guy no one bothers to remember the name of, and is frequently depicted alongside Dan Schneider as his personal unwilling weight loss counselor.

## Suigetsu Hozuki

### Aliases

Suigetsu, The Second coming of the Demon, Little Pest (by Dan Schneider), Water Boy (By Karin)

## **Appearance**

Suigetsu Hozuki is a scrawny, but otherwise average sized seventeen year old male, although he often looks small in the company of Dan Schneider. He has choppy shoulder length white hair, pointed slit purple eyes, and razor sharp teeth. He is often seen wearing an athletic purple sleeveless top, gray pants, and various belts to hold his cherished water bottles and sword.

### Demeanor

Suigetsu carries himself very loosely and slightly slouched, and always has at least one of his askew teeth showing at any given time. He has a tendency to position himself in all matter of loose and relaxed poses no matter the situation.

## **Personality**

#### Lack of Direction

Because of his unique circumstances of spending his teens in a fish tank, Suigestu had unsurprisingly not thought much about his future or his goals, instead deciding to pick up his older brother's penchant for sword collecting and mastery, and doing anything else that he thinks could be entertaining.

He's very naive, gullible and susceptible to being dragged into various situations- Not necessarily out of ignorance, but out of a lack of self preservation and an unsatiated curiousity.

He is often interpreted as a layabout and a dirrectionless hippie (Notably from his roomate and fellow Taka member Karin Uzumaki) because of his lack of long term goals. Her observations/personal attacks however slide right off of him like water off a ducks back, him not really understanding or caring about what other people think.

#### Stunted Empathy and Social Skills

Suigetsu has a concerningly low and severely stunted sense of empathy, not caring in the slightest when bad things happen to other people as well as not having the social skills to pretend to. As someone who's purely in it for the entertainment, most disasterous situations are often met with a laugh on Suigetsu's part, and bad situations on his own end are usually met with excitement at the prospect of a challenge or just casual boredom.

He has a tendency to irritate people and say uninteintionally very insulting things, not necessarily out a desire to provoke anger, but because of his lack of social skills- Suigetsu is simply unable to lie, as he sees no need to. His impulsive nature and lack of boundaries make him 100% Suigetsu 100% of the time.

### Sense of Humor

Having lived a very concerning and messed up childhood, Suigetsu's sense of humor is fittingly also incredibly dark and askew, frequently making jokes about taboo topics that only he seems to find funny, often the jokes being at the expense of other people. He also has the tendency to make frequent sarcastic or humorous observations, if not for the humor of others, than definitely for himself.

Suigetsu is generally pretty jovial and easy to amuse, often finding humor in things considered macabe, embarassing, or otherwise cringeworthy and not funny at all. He finds extreme humor in tormenting Dan Schneider for every mockable facet of his personality, including his weight, paraphilias, and overall creepiness.

### Softer Side

Although rather brutish and polarizing, Suigetsu has a couple of connections that are more important to him than he can really understand. He's not the thinking kind of guy. It takes about thirty seconds for Suigetsu to decide if he likes or hates you, but if he likes you, he'll go to the ends of the earth for you. Why? He couldn't tell you.

He has a tendency to latch on to and dedicate himself to people that he sees fit, whether for better or for worse, just because he has nothing better to do. His love language is simply existing near you and slashing up your enemies with a sword when necessary.

## Background

Suigetsu Hozuki was born in The Hidden Mist Village on February 18th, at the cusp of the era of the Blood Mist. By the time Suigestu was five years old, his mother had been killed in battle and his sole parental figure was his older brother Mangetsu Hozuki. Mangetsu was far from the ideal parent, having been raised in a war torn and classist society, and lacking any emotional vulnerability and intimacy, practically forced Suigetsu to manage on his own, spending most of his days wandering around unsupervised and getting into trouble.

Desperate for attention, a young Suigetsu feigned an interest in swords, Mangetsu's greatest passion. Mangetsu gladly trained Suigetsu in the way of the swords, and while still cold, this newfound connection the likes of which Suigetsu had never felt before, caused him to become extremely attached to swordsmanship and any of the seven legendary swords Mangetsu had possessed, one of which being Kubikiribocho, the sword Suigetsu currently owns.

Suigetsu quickly gained notoriety as a new member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist in the making, something Suigetsu himself truly believed. And as such, he believed that Mangetsu's signature sword Hirameikarei, would be given to him upon his brothers passing in battle, which occurred when Suigetsu was newly 12. Not having been taught to express and feel emotions, Suigetsu wasn't particularly distraught over his brother's passing, but was angered when the newly appointed Mizukage gave Mangetsu's sword to her young student Chojuro.

Suigetsu was forsaken by the village, and feeling he had nothing more to gain by staying there, Suigetsu left the village, but was shortly approached by Orochimaru. Easily fooled by his promises of purpose, Suigetsu was captured and imprisoned inside a fish tank for nearly four years, and subjected to various experiments by Orochimaru and his associates.

This was until he was freed by Sasuke Uchiha, upon killing Orochimaru. Sasuke tells him that he only freed him to take revenge on Orochimaru and to gather an army to help him defeat his older brother Itachi. Having literally nowhere else to go and nothing else to do, Suigetsu dedicated himself to Sasuke's cause, and shortly after being joined with Karin Uzumaki and some random guy, they became Taka.

### Suigetsu in the time of Discordtopia

One year after Taka is formed, Suigetsu and the rest of Taka are living in a van together outside of the main city, frequently journeying within for leads or occasionally splitting up and doing their own thing. In all honesty they've really lost track of their initial goals, but Suigetsu doesn't particularly mind, as he managed to form multiple connections and have frequent interesting encounters in the city, having latched on to Dan Schneider under the ruse of being his "Unofficially certified weight loss coach". This is actually just because he likes to make fun of him- But sometimes he gets too into his role and genuinely works to try and get Dan Schneider to lose weight or stop creeping on children- Which always results in failure.

## Relationships

### Team Taka Members

#### Sasuke Uchiha

Suigetsu is closely aligned with Sasuke Uchiha and his goals. He doesn't think particularly highly of his personality, competence or... Anything really. But he's got nothing better to do so he'll follow him and live in his van.
Suigetsu will absolutely not miss an opportunity to criticize or mock Sasuke for his edgy and quite frankly, EMBARASSING, behavior.

#### Karin Uzumaki

Karin Uzumaki hates Suigetsu due to his chakra nature being deeply disturbing to her- And she has a tendency to lash out at him both physically and verbally- Although Suigetsu is entirely resistant to both of these attacks. As for Suigetsu himself, he doesn't particularly dislike Karin, but is rather just baffled and occasionally disturbed by her fangirlish and creepy behavior.

He does have a tendency to laugh at her failures and make not so complimentary observations about her personality and actions, but he probably wouldn't let her die. Probably.

#### That Other Guy

Suigetsu is the only one that remembers his actual name (I don't actually know so it's not listed here) and doesn't leave him in the car on hot days. He often complains about being the only one who takes care of him.

### Friends

#### Maya Fey

Suigetsu and Maya got along instantly due to their many similarities, such as having a dead older sibling, having a terrible but overly prominent sense of humor, and having a tendancy for laziness. Although she is quite a bit older than him at 28, she is open to teaching him about city life, her favorite spots, and sometimes takes him to her spritual training.

She sees a lot of herself in him and he enables all of her worst habits. They like to exchange humorous info about each other's connection, and their friendship serves as one of the most prominent connection between the Ace Attorney and Naruto characters (Yes that is something that you just read). Sometimes she lets him sleep in her house. Honestly she treats him like a fun aunt would treat her nephew.

#### No one else

Suigetsu does not have friends, he is an absolute menace.

Suigetsu has a tendency to act casually and somewhat "friendly" around anyone, but he has very few real connections and actual people to actually hang out with. If he is hanging out with you, chances are it's nonconsensual on your part and he just decided you looked like fun.

### Other Prominent Associates

#### Dan Schneider

Dan Schneider is Suigetsu's unwilling weight loss coach client, as well as his biggest (literally) timesink. Suigetsu will follow Dan Schneider around for hours pestering him and insulting his weight with various unique word plays that he improvises.

*"Can you just leave me alone?"*

*"Listen here ya big palooka, you're so fat I couldn't get you out of my sight even if I wanted to."*

## Abilities

### Water Transformation

Suigetsu can transform himself into water at will. This ability in canon is rather ambiguous in origin, as it is unclear whether this ability came about as a result of Orochimaru's experiments, or if it is a clan ability. Personally I lean on the former since Gengetsu Hozuki, a fellow Hozuki and also second Mizukage, is seemingly unable to use this ability. Either that or it's an ability unique to Suigetsu that Orochimaru wanted to study. Honestly who knows. It's not really important to this anyway- UH LIKE I WAS SAYING

Suigetsu's ability to turn into water can make him impervious to damage, allow him to be chopped in half, sliced and diced every which way, and crushed to a pulp, and still manage to survive unharmed.

He can also bond with water to not only control it, but also to increase his own mass when he has transformed back. He has used this ability in the past to give himself a freakishly muscular arm.

### Swordsmanship

Suigetsu is incredibly talented at using swords, having been trained at a young age by his older brother, one of the seven ninja swordsmen of the mist. His current sword has the ability to repair itself with the iron in the blood in all that it cuts.

## Differences from Canon

### Personality and Prominence

Suigetsu's personality is much more exaggerated and cartoonish in the discordtopia universe, probably due to his overwhelming prominence, unlike in Naruto Shippuden where the writers forgot about him in spite of his insane entertainment value.

### Backstory

Suigetsu's backstory in Discordtopia is, for the most part, not contradictory to what we see in Naruto Shippuden, but it is purely speculative and not canon.

### Obvious Things

Characters like Dan Schneider and Maya Fey are shockingly not actually canon to the Naruto Universe.
