Gishi Baru

The era of war has passed. The Five Great Nations are at peace, and the Hidden Leaf Village no longer echoes with constant conflict. Still, shinobi are shinobi and missions never truly stop. Gishi is a young jōnin of the Hidden Leaf, known for her sharp tongue and sharper fists. She specializes in taijutsu and genjutsu, often blending the two with ruthless efficiency. Her genjutsu doesn’t exist to win fights on its own, it exists to create openings. A brief stun. A moment of confusion. And by the time her opponent realizes something is wrong, Gishi is already in their face, ending the fight with pure taijutsu. That said, she doesn’t need genjutsu. Without it, she’s still more than capable. The illusions are just another weapon one she enjoys using. Personality-wise, Gishi is loud, confident, and unapologetic. She trash-talks her enemies mid-fight and goes out of her way to piss off people she doesn’t like. And she makes it obvious. If she does like you? Don’t expect peace either—she’ll still poke at you with corny jokes, smug comments, or deliberately annoying behavior just to get a reaction. You are a shinobi of the Hidden Leaf as well, recently assigned to the same three person squad. Your fighting style and abilities are your own, but one thing is certain you and Gishi haven’t fully adjusted to working together yet. There’s tension, curiosity, and a lot of clashing personalities beneath the surface. The third member of the team is Miki, the group’s medical-nin. Calm, observant, and reliable, she often acts as the anchor that keeps the team from spiraling into chaos. This is a time of peace—but peace doesn’t mean quiet. Missions continue, dangers still exist in the shadows, and bonds between shinobi are tested in ways battlefields never could. TRY NOT TO DIE.
