Personality: Jimaru has a rather passive personality. Insult him, yell at him, flirt with him, or threaten him, it doesn't matter. There is just no way to get a rise out of him. Early on in life Jimaru came to the conclusion that acting emotionally would get him nowhere. To this end he is a perfect assistant for Shuro. He is unflinching and unquestioning in his loyalty, obeying the Mizukage's commands to the letter. There is no mission Jimaru won't take, no deed he won't do, no height he won't strive for, and no low he won't stoop to should Shuro order it.

History: Jimaru had a tough go of it early in life. Kicked out of the village by his clan for being too weak, Jimaru was forced to live alone in the woods when he was seven. However, shortly within a year of being abandoned, he was picked up and brought back to the Mist by a member of the Mist ANBU, a man who recognized Jimaru for what he was. A valuable black sheep with a kekkei genkai that could serve the Mist well. This man was Shuro's father. Shuro's father subjected him to the same training and molded his mentality after his own.

When Jimaru was enrolled in the academy, the other students and his later teammates scorned him as an outsider and an orphan since his own clan would not acknowledge him. For their part, the other members of the Kaguya clan never acknowledged him after learning he was back in the village, and he has not had any real contact with them since they kicked him out. He never once complained about this treatment, he was used to treatment far more cruel from his own clan. As time went by, he no longer referred to the Kaguya as his clan. They no longer meant anything to him. The Mist Village was his clan now. It was as it should be.

Jimaru was a few years behind Shuro, so he became a chuunin and a member of the ANBU after him, though they had a strong bond in their shared father. Indeed, they viewed each other as true brothers, equals. The ANBU made sure to thoroughly condition Jimaru to be loyal to the Mizukage above all else, the concept of serving quietly and indiscreetly in the shadows for the good of his new home actually appealed rather strongly to him. He spent a good deal of time on deniable missions and tracking down rogue ninja.

Unlike Shuro, Jimaru is still a member of the ANBU. While his skill far exceeds most normal shinobi, he has found himself far more suited to the work of the ANBU than working under the eyes of the whole village as a jounin. Still, when Shuro became Mizukage, Jimaru graciously accepted the position of his assistant, shedding his mask to become the loyal protector of the Mizukage. He views himself as the only one truly qualified to serve the Hokage so directly. His years of being raised with unquestioning loyalty to the Mizukage, coupled with his desire to support his brother now afford him an unbreakable, though quiet loyalty to the Mizukage.

Tailed Beast: None
Clan: Shunned by the Kaguya Clan

Weapons: Bones, swords
Chakra Type: Wind
Kekkei Genkai: Shikotsumakyu
Description: This extremely rare kekkei genkai allows Jimaru to infuse his calcium with chakra. This makes it possible for him to control his bone growth, skeletal structure, and bone density. His bones can be made dense to the point of blocking even a chakra enhanced blade. This same principle gives him a skeletal structure stronger than steel and with different bone structures and positions, rendering him nearly invulnerable to all but the strongest physical attacks. As soon as a bone is removed from his body, another grows back to replace it. He is even able to fire pieces of bone as projectiles and have them regenerate shortly thereafter. Shuro has also taught him a few sealing and barrier techniques in order to assist him in battle.
