Signature Jutsu
Unknown

A quiet and stern young ninja from the Land of Water. She is rarely seen behaving in any fashion less than professional and aloof. Teammates have noted her heightened ability to detect chakra.

Background

Little is publically known of Kaoru's past. She was found as an orphan by the Kirigakure Shinobi Corps and trained in the way of the ninja. The list of crimes against her name from the time before she became a ninja includes:
Petty theft
Assault
Breaking & Entering
Public Disturbance

Personality

Kaoru is stern and hyper-logical. She doesn't show any unnecessary emotion, and views life with a tactical precision - combat, clothing, relationships, meals - everything is precisely co-ordinated for maximum benefit.
This cold veneer is simply a mask to cover up the small, scared child inside, who is constantly desiring attention, affection and affirmation.

Appearance

Dressed all in black, this young kunoichi is a small but imposing figure. She wears the forehead protector of Kirigakure proudly. Her mouth, ears and hair are all covered by draped, thin black cloth. A shawl of the same black cloth covers her shoulders and arms. Two black leather straps cross her chest and small, helping to support her black lace bodice, before winding around her waist in a belt. She's wearing black pants that are loose around the groin for flexibility and ease of movement, but quickly shape inwards to become skin-tight down to her oboi. Her feet are adorned with traditional sandals. On her back is a large, sheathed katana.

Acquaintances

Gansao Kitaru	Acquaintance	Kaoru is intrigued by Kitaru, who she views as a strong and mysterious ninja.
Kaguya Yuuka	Acquaintance	Kaoru has met Yuuka only once, and was slightly intimidated by her. Kaoru recognises her as a vastly superior ninja, and wants to work more closely with her in the future.

The training over the past months has been brutal. I've been beaten multiple times, pushed until my muscles collapsed and focused chakra until I had a headache. Even worse, I've barely seen the light of day in all the time since I was recruited into the Touketsu. But I think the end of my student-training is in sight.
Yesterday I was let outside for training for the first time. While I didn't get to interact with any other students, I think its a sign that I'm moving into the final stages of preparing for Genin rank. I was also given this diary to record my thoughts. It means I'm being trusted more, and I look forward to my graduation.

Show 15/11/12 - Entry 2 - Promotion to Genin

The training has still been unrelenting, but being able to see the sky on a regular basis again has been refreshing. However that is the least significant news I've received. I recently mastered my innate sixth sense, allowing me to detect chakra at will. While there is still much to learn in this area, and a lot of fine tuning to do before it is in its peak condition, the ability has improved my combat capabilities significantly. When my trainer learned that I had learnt to use the ability at will, he sent me immediately to attend the Genin Exam in the Blood Marsh.

The Exam was tough. I was faced with challenges beyond just combat technique. Finding food and shelter was difficult in the extreme - the very plants and animals are highly dangerous, and often stealthy. More than once I woke up face-to-face with a creature that was attacking me. However I triumphed without sustaining significant injuries, and thus was promoted to Genin. I am now to begin my service to Kirigakure.

Show 20/11/12 - Entry 3 - The Search for a Seals Master

The days since graduating have been fascinating. I've learnt more about the politics and abilities in Kirigakure than in my two years of training underground. I've been recruited to help search for a missing ninja, Maikeru-sama. The search so far has been unsuccessful, as I have only detected trace amounts of his chakra that are weeks or months old. So far it has provided no clues to his whereabouts, although I remain hopeful.
The exercise has however helped me refine my chakra sensitivity. Searching areas for a specific chakra used to be well above my abilities, but it seems that my precision is becoming finer and finer as I use the ability. It is good to know that I haven't yet hit the ceiling of these capabilities.
