Sayuri Masato (真人サユリ, Masato Sayuri) is an rpc created for the Naruto universe by FluffyLily She is an Chūnin-level Kunoichi from Shimogakure and is appointed as a member of Team Susume (Later Team Hananori). In Part I she moved to Konohagakure  to help at the Chūnin Exams with her teammates Shinji Bikou, Riku Kuromori and Hananori Kotoba. She trains to be a great swordfighter so that she can protect the people dear to her. 

Background

Sayuri and Jirobe as childs.

Sayuri was born in Shimogakure and was raised, together with her 2 years older brother Jirobe, by her mother and father. Shimogakure is a very cold and secluded village just south west of Kumogakure. It lies in the middle of a glacial lake and you can just reach it by walking over the bridge, but the bridge is well protected. Shimogakure also shares borders with Yugakure and Kumogakure. During her childhood Sayuri met two of her future teammates, Shinji Bikou and Riku Kuromori. Together they once played near a frozen lake when suddenly the ice broke and Sayuri fell into the cold water. She nearly drowned but fortunately a young Chunin named Hananori Kotoba noticed and saved her.

As Sayuri reached the age of 6, she was trained in swordfighting by her father, since most members of the Masato-Clan are swordfighter and don't have many Ninja skills. She and her brother were both sent to a ninja academy though, because their father was sure that it would only benefit them.

Personality

Child

As a child Sayuri was shy and quiet. She never really had many friends. Her behavior changed when she met Riku and Shinji. She became more open and started to talk much more. Sayuri never really knew why she wanted to be a ninja until a mission her team had to complete. Team Susume had to fight a cold hearted ninja who violently killed all of his teammates. Somehow they managed to defeat him and Sayuri knew why she wanted to be a ninja and what kind of ninja. She never wanted to be a cold-hearted ninja who just fights for missions but one who fights to protect her village and the people she loves. From that day on Sayuri was a ninja by conviction. 

Adult

She later grows up to be the kind of person that loves to smile and can nearly always be seen with a smile on her face. She is still a ninja by conviction and is very hardworking. Sayuri is nice and trustful but is always told to be more suspicious because her niceness could someday be her undoing. She is rarely listening to commands of her team captain and is getting in trouble because of that and she loves to quarrel about everything that bugs her. That's the naive and annoying side of her personality. Therefore she is often punished by her team captain Hananori. He forces her to do D-Rank missions in her free time like babysitting, cleaning toilets and stuff like that. 

Sayuri is scared of deep water. In her childhood she once fell in a lake and almost drowned. But as she grows older she was able to overcome that fear.

Appearance

In Part I Sayuri had short, brown hair which was hold by a hairclip. She wore a blue dress with dark blue and white designs and a white Forehead Protector which she wore around her waist. She wore black knee-high stockings with a dark blue border and standart blue Ninja Sandals.

In Part II Sayuri has long, brown hair, which is held by a silver hairclip, blue eyes and fair skin. She wears a Shimogakure headband around her neck and black/blue long gloves that reach to her upper arms. Her top is short sleeved and has two white stripes and white points on it. She also wears a beige coloured belt and a skirt which has the same color like her top, under it she wears black shorts. Also she wears black/blue long boots with a blue border. 

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, she wears the standard uniform of the Alliance and a Shimogakure flak jacket.

Abilities

Mostly Sayuri is using Ken-Jutsu (swords art). But she is also using Nin-Jutsu and Tai-Jutsu. In contrast she isn't good at using Gen-Jutsu. Her nature types are water and wind. She is using them together to make a huge hurricane. But she can just use this jutsu once in a fight, because it takes much chakra. After using it a second time she'd be very exhausted and not able to fight properly.

Taijutsu

Sayuri is mostly using Tai-Jutsu alongside Ken-Jutsu. She is capable of fighting enemys with it, but most times it's just used for defensive purposes even though her skills are very high.

Ninjutsu

Sayuri is also capable of using Nin-Jutsu and knows all the standart Nin-Jutsus and some more she learned through the years. But because she's fighting at short range with her Sword she doesn't use Nin-Jutsus that often.

Genjutsu

Sayuri knows all the basic Gen-Jutsus teached at the academy. Apart from that she isn't able to use any high graded Gen-Jutsus.

Intelligence

During her time at the academy Sayuri wasn't the brightest student. But later she was teached by her Sensei and her intelligent friend Riku so she gained accepable knowledge. Later Sayuri's intelligence can be compared to Sakura Haruno's but it's lower due to her being more the combat type of person and not an strategist. But she is able to set traps to attack her opponents and sometimes she can also read their moves which makes it easy for her to defeat them.

Summoning Technique

Sayuri showed herself being able to summon a huge raccoon dog called Toto. It carries a huge container on it's back in which Sayuri has stored every little piece of Chakra she could spare since she made the contract. During the Fourth Great Ninja War she summoned Toto onto the battlefield and used Chakra from the container to restore her comarades Chakra supplies.

Toto is also able to fight. With it's huge paws it's able to trample down the enemies and sweep them away with it's tail.

Academy and Education

Sayuri attended the Ninja Academy in Konohagakure. She was a rather mediocre student, because she was to lazy to study, but she did show high skills in using Ninja Tools like Kunai and Shuriken. She inherited those and her skills in using Ken-Jutsu from her mother,Yugana, who was very skilled in using that tools herself. Yugana was also the person that teached Sayuri Ken-Jutsu from a young age at first place. She graduated from the Academy at the age of 12. But before she could become part of any Team her mother decided to move back to Shimogakure. She was very happy when she got to know that she'll be in a team with her two friends from earlier, Shinji Bikou and Riku Kuromori. There was also a new guy, named Hananori Kotoba who was 2 years older then them and already a Chuunin. Their Sensei Susume had a difficult task for them right in the beginning. He wanted to test their Ninja skills and therefore he decided to play a game with them. Whoever managed to touch him, who was specialized in speed, first, was the winner. 

In the end Hananori was the winner because he already had experience, but Susume acknowledged all of them as his students.

Together Team Susume mastered various missions.

Later at the Chuunin Exams Riku, Shinji and Sayuri became all Chuunins. Sayuri's brother Jirobe was supposed to enter the exams too, but he wasn't able to due an broken leg. Sayuri was very proud of herself and sometimes teased Jirobe because she had an higher rank than him. One year later Jirobe also became Chuunin so they were equal again and Sayuri couldn't tease him anymore. He also gained the title of Jounin at the age of 17 while Sayuri stayed Chuunin until Part II.

Part I

Chūnin Exam Arc:

Sayuri and the "random stranger"

In this arc Sayuri and her team appeared for the first time. They accompanied a few Shimogakure Genin on their way to Konoha to participate in the Chunin Exams. As they walked trough the streets of Konohagakure Sayuri got lost and was found by Ibiki Morino who thought she was a spy. She denied it and grabbed the arm of a random stranger that accidentally walked by and who turned out to be Kakashi Hatake. Ibiki asked him if he had any business going on with with that woman and he denied it. Ibiki just wanted to take Sayuri with him as her teammates, who looked for her everywhere, appeared to clear up the misunderstanding.
