Random Note 13 Taryn's brats

There’s three months between him and Daro.
In the Academy, Hiro got in trouble a lot because he liked to pull pranks and was often distracted in class. Despite of that, he still managed to get good grades and he excels in calculus.

Hiro is the most complaining of Taryn’s students. He gets distracted easily and is scolded a lot by his sensei, but he is loyal to his friends.

When Hiro first found out Taryn was going to be his sensei, he was intimidated by that. He was determined to show her how good a shinobi he was.
He’s very impulsive and tends to get in trouble.
Hiro is the most insecure of the group. He is also the loudest. He was the first to declare that he would follow Taryn anywhere, even if it meant a criminal career.

A while after graduating, Hiro got interested in summons and he asked Taryn about summon contracts. Since she didn’t have one herself, she sent him to see Kakashi Hatake in Konoha and asked him to help Hiro out. 

Hiro now has a summoning contract with a Sandhawk, named Kera, and her flock.

Kera is a large Sandhawk of a race that is only seen in the land of Wind. They like the desert climate and can go a long time without food or water.

Kera is a stubborn and sometimes cranky bird, but she is very protective of Hiro and extends that protection to his teammates, and somewhat reluctant to Taryn too.

One of the smaller hawks, Leon, was killed in the war, protecting Hiro from enemy shinobi. Hiro still feels guilty about that.

Even though Hiro likes to joke around, he is very focused on missions and sometimes surprised his teammates with his wits.

He worries about his sensei a lot, because he knows how often she got in trouble because of her history with Itachi Uchiha. He made a promise to Kakashi to watch her and keep her from harm, even if it means protecting her from herself.

Hiro’s jutsu are water-based. His most favored jutsu is the Water Dragon. It creates a massive dragon out of water that engulfs his opponent.

Recently he’s learned to form razor sharp blades of water that can compete with any wind attack.
His weapons are shuriken, kunai daggers and explosive tags.

Kuro Shiraki:

The Shiraki clan has a long history of serving the Kazekage’s personal guard, which puts some expectance on Kuro’s shoulders.

Kuro’s older brother was one of the Kazekage’s guards when Taryn’s father was still Kazekage. He died shortly before the Chuunin exams, in which Gaara participated, while protecting the Kazekage against Orochimaru. Kuro took his brother’s death hard, since he looked up to him. He made it his goal to follow in his brother’s footsteps.

Kuro is the solemn one in the group, but even though he is quiet, he isn’t afraid to voice his opinion. He’s also the most patient one and keeps a clear head in tight situations. His strong point is that he’s good at analyzing a situation, though he sometimes tends to over think things.

Kuro’s family has known Taryn since she was a child. Kuro’s cousin Kodan was once her teammate. They know the reason behind her banishment, though they haven’t told Kuro.

Kodan died a few years before Taryn’s banishment was revoked.

Even though they don’t speak about Taryn’s reputation, Kuro’s parents were proud when their son became her student. They told Kuro he could learn a lot from her and that he shouldn’t make judgment based on rumors.

Kuro trusts Taryn unconditionally.

As a child, Kuro spent most of his days on his own, though he didn’t mid. He liked helping his father with the messenger birds in the BirdTower.

When he became part of Taryn’s team, he started socializing more and became close friends with his teammates. He’s usually the one to make them refocus when Hiro and Daro are goofing around.

Kuro uses mainly genjutsu, though recently he has learned to control wind.

Taryn has been helping him train in using wind attack. He is still a little insecure about using them, but he is slowly getting better.
His weapons are shuriken and kunai daggers. He also wields a chain that once belonged to his brother Suzaku. When Suzaku was revived during the war by Edo Tensei, he was defeated by Kuro. Suzaku left his chain to his brother as a memento.
