"I am a lion among Nara… Meaning I'll sleep however much I want. Go away."
Background
Kaito is a Nara Chuunin of Konohagakure who recently returned from a long-standing mission. He became a Chuunin at only twelve years old and was sent on a mission to act as a guard at the Fire Temple for as long as he was needed at the age of thirteen. Once he was no longer needed, he was finally able to return home, where he has resumed his normal habits of basically doing things his own way, meaning who knows when he trains because he's usually caught sleeping any and everywhere. Despite that, he is a very intelligent and instrumental shinobi when the time comes that he's needed.
*SPOILER ALERT* Unless you have been told ICly, you do not ICly know classified information listed here.
To say that Nara Kaito was born to be anything special would be an overstatement. Though he may have been considered a handsome child, having a pleasant face along with blonde hair and blues eyes, he was an ordinary young man born to Nara Akira and Chiharu. He grew up under their care of love, taught from an early age to be very intelligent. Their hopes were that he'd become an excellent shinobi one day and bring honor to the Nara name. However, something kind of odd was noticed, even when he was a baby….
Even from his childhood, Kaito took naps long, frequent naps, enough that his parents and Medical Ninja were concerned. However, it turned out that he just actually enjoyed napping, and he eventually outgrew the baby fat that this habit made him retain.
As he grew older, Kaito's favorite habits became reading and games like Shogi that challenged his intellect, as well as various types of art. Even as a boy, he liked playing against adults to challenge himself and try to get better. This gave his family great hopes of his future as a shinobi.
Kaito was easily able to pick up chakra control as a child, which made learning jutsu quite easy. Once he'd begun his shinobi training, his mother allowed him to begin reading books about combat, past wars, and such, to learn from the triumphs and mistakes of the past to help him build himself as a better shinobi for the future.
When it came time for Kaito to begin seriously practicing jutsu, his choices came as quite a surprise to the clan. He chose not to practice Shadow Manipulation as his main jutsu due its severe limitations. As a shinobi, he saw that having a jutsu that was so limited could be severely dangerous, so he would practice something else that could be used more practically and more flexibly for tactical combat. After a chakra paper test, it was determined that his affinity was Water Manipulation, and that is what he would practice from then forth.
When the hidden villages formed, Kaito's family moved with the Nara Clan into Konohagakure. There, they learned the ideals of the First Hokage and began to follow her. Despite his lazy disposition, Kaito took her teachings to heart and began to love Konohagakure as his home, taking on the Will of Fire. He even showed enough growth tactically and in jutsu that he became a Chuunin at twelve years old.
For a few years, Kaito lived the normal life of a Chuunin in the village, using tactics versus pure power to overcome many obstacles. His lazy attitude and constant napping were seen as a flaw to most, but it didn't stop him from proving himself when it came down to it in situations. He was intelligent, adept at chakra control, and very strong-willed… And it was for those reasons that he would be asked to make perhaps one of the hardest choices any person could make, one that would turn his life upside down.
A massive threat had been terrorizing the southern coast of the Land of Fire, a tailed beast who had been freed from its Jinchuuriki. The Hokage and her council had to come to a quick decision about what to do about it. Taking a child who had no idea what was going on and forcing its parents to make such a quick decision regarding their child's life would be cruel, so they chose an alternate route, and, after browsing through files on their various shinobi as far as the ones currently in the village, it was decided they would ask Kaito to take on this responsibility. It was a shock to the young man, to say the least, something he'd never really thought about. He knew it meant a lot of things. His fairly normal life would take some drastic turns. Those who knew of what he had become would see him as a monster, some despising him for what would be sealed in him. There may be those who would still see him for himself, but those numbers would be few…. Still, though, this was to protect the Land of Fire and Konohagakure, and the person whose ideals he took on and held dear was asking him to do this. After a few moments of deliberation, he agreed to this, and he would set out with the Hokage and a Sealing team to capture the beast and complete this life-changing mission.
The battle was fierce, but the Hokage was finally able to restrain the beast with her Wood jutsu for the sealing process to begin. It was a little disturbing to be bound to an altar and watch as an enormous mass of chakra made its way into his body, but Kaito endured it. He had to do this for the village's sake after all. Once the battle started, there was no option of turning back for him. When at last it was over, he was finally released from the altar and kept under observation at a secret medical facility for a couple weeks before being sent to the Fire Temple. There, he would train to keep the Three Tails in check and to attempt to control its power to use in conjunction with his own.
Over the past few years, Kaito has lived his life in the Fire Temple, honing his mind and body to keep the Three Tails in check. He's made some progress in learning to control its power, but he's still a long way away from fully controlling it. As a Jinchuuriki, he has seen exactly what he expected to happen first-hand, the eyes of those who know what he is wary of and judging him as nothing more than a monster. It can be sort of depressing, but it's something he's learning to deal with. After all, he did what he had to do to protect his village and country. It's also been something of an adjustment to get used to the amount of stamina and chakra the Sanbi provides, as he has a lot more energy than he ever has before. This also makes it kind of hard to pass off being tired and wanting to nap all the time, but he finds ways to get around that.
After his years away, he's finally gotten good enough at keeping the Tailed Beast in check that he is being allowed to come back to Konohagakure. He's happy to be home, though he wonders how different things will be now.
Personality
In a word, Kaito has been described as lazy, perhaps the extreme side of the Nara stereotype. He seems to be a bit too laid back and apathetic toward most things and somehow seems to require much more rest than the average person. Of course, he is likely faking being tired or asleep at least some of this time, but it definitely takes more than your standard situation to motivate him into actions sometimes without a director order.
Despite his weaknesses that are legitimate gripes of any sensible official, among Kaito's strengths are extreme intelligence and determination. Having inherited the intelligence of the Nara Clan, he is able to employee this alongside his Ninjutsu prowess granted by the Three Tails to achieve astounding results in combat. What some would call apathy, he calls a laid back rationality. He does care about his family and friends, but he chooses to stay calm and think about things rationally before acting. Of course, sometimes this just isn't possible, but he does try.
Kaito has many dislikes. Several of those are people who interrupt his naps. He also dislikes rushing into things and people who do just that and endanger the team on missions, yet he also isn't fond of indecisiveness because that can be equally as deadly in a mission or combat situation.
Kaito's fondest hobby is napping. It's said he has dreams about taking naps. He also enjoys a good game of Shogi, among other intellectual challenges to keep his mind sharp. Another hobby of is his art, mainly drawing since it requires the least amount of time versus things like painting and sculpting. He pretends to enjoy meditation much more than he does, mainly for the reason that he can catch a nice nap before anyone realizes he's asleep. Reading is also one of his hobbies, especially since it can be done while relaxing. Due to this, he is very educated in the form of normal education, and he learns about things most people don't know or don't care to know. A lot of this tends to be history of wars and such, reading about past battles to learn from the triumphs and failures of the past.
On the Jinchuuriki side of things, Kaito knows well that most who know the secret of what he is will see him as a monster as worst and an outsider at best, despite those few true friends. This is something he knew would happen, so he deals with it as best he can, taking most people's thoughts of him due to this as a grain of salt. He knows he did the right thing for the village and the Land of Fire, so that is what matters most.
Appearance
This young man stands just above six feet tall, his build lean but muscular. His face holds an oval-esque shape of one entering into adult-hood, though still holding the quality of youth. Ocean blue hair parts in the center of his head, hanging down to either side of his face down to his cheekbones, some strands occassionally drifting over to his eyes that are roughly the same color. This covers most of his headband, which oddly has no village plate attached to it, looking a bit worn compared to the rest of his attire. He tends to normally have a rather drowsy look on his face, as if he'd rather be asleep if he's not asleep already.
The jacket worn looks a bit immaculate, dark blue in color and trimmed in gold seams. Its collar comes halfway up his neck and folds over, its ends drifting into the lapels of the jacket that slims back down into the inside seam, partially covering up the front pockets on the jacket. The right shoulder of the jacket bears a silver badge with Konohagakure's symbol on it, that apparently being a replacement for what is missing from his headband. Its sleeves are normally rolled up, a strap with a button in place holding it there, where his elbow pads come out, bearing silver cores and black outer edges, which leave most of his forearms bare. His hands are covered by a pair of black fingerless gloves, which also bear silver plates with Konoha's symbol.
One would think his entire outfit would be as immaculate, but his shirt is but a plain white shirt, left untucked for comfort. His pants are the same color as his jacket, though they are fairly plain next to the jacket, though he does wear some ninja utility pouches. Finally, black boots cover his feet, laced up well to their top where his pants legs tuck into them, laced up fully and built for travel and combat purposes.

Satomi
|
Distant Relative |
One of few people that can actually present something of a challenge to Kaito in Shogi. Satomi can be a little annoying, but she's at least interesting to hang around. She has this annoying habit of trying to pull pranks on him to interrupt his naps, but he always get payback or prevents it in one way or another. |
|
Usagi
|
Distant Relative |
Usagi is something of a typical Nara woman. Just like Usagi, she likes to interrupt his naps frequently. Maybe it's a female trait. |
|
Misaki
|
Acquaintance |
Misaki is probably one of the sassiest little girls Kaito's ever met. Of course, knowing what she is makes that make a little more sense. It's probably part of that bloody cat's attitude. Still, she could stand to be taught some manners, but it's not Kaito's problem, so he just leaves it alone. |

Daisuke
|
Sensei |
Daisuke is one of few guys Kaito can say he really looks up at to, at least as far as he's come as a Jinchuuriki. His training is helping Kaito quite a bit. He kind of sucks at social life, though. Oh well, not everyone's got a weakness. |
|
Atsuro
|
Acquaintance |
Kaito doesn't really know much about this guy. He seems pretty laid back, if a bit brash, though he does show that he cares about his comrades. Thus far, he doesn't really know much about him as a shinobi, but he'll probably end up on a mission with him one day. |
|
Hiei
|
Acquaintance |
This kid's definitely got his hands full, taking on the job of being Misaki's boyfriend. He seems to be a pretty down to earth kid, though, and pretty resilient. He'll likely make a good ally when he's grown up if Kumo and Konoha continue down their diplomatic path. |
|
Ataru
|
Acquaintance |
This guy's pretty interesting, if a bit off. He talks about something he calls 'The Justice' that he seems to let run him over. Hopefully he learns to have a strong enough will that it won't overpower him and force him to do something he'll regret later. |
