Hyōta

Nagi is one of the shrine’s two old guardians, the wildest beast on the mountain, and he has walked alone since the war. When Hyōta was five, he walked straight up to him without a shred of fear. Nagi chose him for it, and the same red marks Nagi wears around his eyes appeared around Hyōta’s.

From that day the whole village called him its hope. Everything came to him on the first try, so he never learned to train. He is loud, charming and lazy, and he has never lost a fight.

This year the Snow’s hopefuls come down to the Fire Village for the Chunin Exam. The last fight of the arena is waiting for him, and so is someone who learned everything one blow at a time.
