Name:
Darui
Nickname:
The Cool Storm of Kumo
Gender:
Male
Age:
Early 20's

Looks:
Darui is fairly tall and has a dark skin tone, slightly bulbous nose, a lazy look in his eyes and white, shaggy hair which covers the left side of his face. He wears a high collared sleeveless uniform, loose fitting pants, bandages on his wrists and the one-strap-over-one-shoulder Flak Jacket of a Kumogakure shinobi. Darui also has stylised characters for Water (水) and Lightning (雷) tattooed on his right and left shoulders respectively, denoting his chakra's elemental nature affinities; Water Release and Lightning Release. The tattoo on his left arm also signifies that he has inherited the Third Raikage's technique. Darui also carries a broad, foldable, cleaver-like blade, which he carries on his back.

Personality:
Darui is portrayed as being easy-going and mellow; when compared to the Fourth Raikage's over-the-top exit through a window, he tells C that he will just use the door. While having a laid-back demeanour, Darui isn't lazy, leaping to the Raikage's defence when the bodyguards of the other Kage overreact to the Raikage's actions. He also has a habit of referring to things or events as being "dull" (だるい, darui) a play on his name. Darui is also very apologetic, even apologising for other people's actions, a trait he had never noticed himself; this attribute led him to say "sorry" (すみません, sumimasen) just as much as the word "dull". He is also very loyal to the Raikage who considers Darui his "second right hand". He also addresses the Raikage as "boss" rather than "Raikage-sama"

Specialties:
~Black Lightning~
Darui was taught how to harness the power of black lightning by The Third Raikage Himself.

~Kenjutsu~
Darui wields a long and fairly broad sword that is peculiar in comparison to others swords as it folds in two to be sheathed and unfolds when in use. He has shown exceptional skills in kenjutsu, as he was able to clash with Suigetsu Hōzuki's Kubikiribōchō and easily overwhelm and pin him to a wall with his lightning imbued sword. He was also skilled enough to literally disarm Ginkaku and Kinkaku during their battle, and knock Ginkaku into Kinkaku's Kōkinjō while quickly seizing the Shichiseiken and Benihisago.

~Lightning and Water~
Darui is an excelled user when it comes to water and lightning release techniques, and is able to use two separate techniques of the natures simultaneously. He requires few handseals for all Raiton Jutsu, while using less handseals for Suiton Jutsu.

~Storm Release~
Storm Release is an advanced nature kekkei genkai that combines lightning- and water-based chakra to create energy beams that can be guided towards the enemy. The only know user as of know is Darui.

History:
Five Kage Summit Arc

Darui and C were chosen to escort the Fourth Raikage to the Kage Summit in the Land of Iron. Once they arrive and the meeting begins, Darui and C comes to the Raikage's defence following his outburst, blocking the attacks of the other Kage's bodyguards. They return to their posts after things settle down, only to again come to the Raikage's side when Zetsu appears. Zetsu reveals that Sasuke Uchiha, Killer B's captor, is nearby, so Darui and C accompany the Raikage in tracking Sasuke down.

When they locate Sasuke and his team, Suigetsu charges at C. Darui blocks his attack and they start to exchange blows with their respective swords. Darui is ultimately victorious, as he imbues his sword with lightning to pin Suigetsu to a wall. He then tends to C - who has been knocked unconscious by Sasuke - and they both watch the Raikage grow increasingly reckless in his fight with Sasuke. The Sunagakure delegation soon arrives to provide assistance, and Darui joins forces with them in bombarding Sasuke.

Using Susanoo, Sasuke survives their assault and destroys the structural supports of the building they're in; Darui is protected from falling debris by the Fifth Kazekage. They reunite with the Raikage and C and return to the Summit hall, where Madara Uchiha explains his Eye of the Moon Plan to them. As part of his explanation he reveals that B only pretended to be captured, which does not surprise Darui. After the formation of the Shinobi Alliance, Darui joins the Raikage in searching for B. They are drawn to the site of his battle with Kisame and arrive just in time for Darui to stop Kisame's attempt to cut off B's legs. When Kisame is "eliminated" they all return to Kumogakure. Despite Darui's desire to rest, Mabui‎ requests a report of what has happened since they left. Darui later attended a war meeting.

Shinobi World War Arc

Darui is placed in charge of the First Division. The First Division is sent to the border of the Land of Lightning to defend against an approaching portion of the White Zetsu Army. Before the opposing army makes landfall, Darui launches the first attack, using his Lightning Release: Black Panther to electrocute dozens of Zetsu. As the battle rages, Darui confronts the revived Kinkaku and Ginkaku. He apologises for needing to defeat them. Darui is joined in battle by Samui and Atsui. He watches as the two fall prey to the brothers' Treasured Tools of the Sage of the Six Paths, with Atsui being sucked into the Benihisago. He tries to save Samui from the same fate by attacking Ginkaku with Storm Release: Laser Circus, but she is also captured.

In his failed attempt to save Samui, Darui is hit with the Kōkinjō, drawing out his word soul (言霊, kotodama), which Kinkaku severs with the Shichiseiken. Having learned how the tools work by watching what happened to Atsui and Samui, Darui knows he can avoid being caught in the Benihisago by not saying his most-said word: "dull" (だるい, darui). However, he inadvertently utters the word by saying, "Ore wa Bosu no migiude da. Ruijihin janē!"(Literally meaning "I'm the Boss's right arm. I'm no imitation!"). As he is sucked in he says "sorry" (すみません, sumimasen) three times, making that his most-said word and thus stopping the suction.

After his escape, Darui is able to knock Ginkaku into the Kōkinjō and steal the Shichiseiken and the Benihisago. He distracts Kinkaku by throwing his sword at him and then attacks him with his Laser Circus technique, giving him a chance to sever Ginkaku's word soul with the Shichiseiken. Ginkaku then says his most used word, "Kinkaku" (キンカク), and gets sealed inside the Benihisago. As he begins to suffer from the massive chakra drain of the Treasured Tools, Darui witnesses Kinkaku turn into his six-tailed form and rampage through the battlefield. To stop Kinkaku, headquarters sends him the Kohaku no Jōhei and Team 10 to provide support. While Shikamaru and Chōji distract Kinkaku, Ino uses her Mind Body Switch Technique to take possession of Kinkaku's body. Darui then calls out to Kinkaku and Ino forces Kinkaku to respond, activating the Kohaku no Jōhei and sucking Kinkaku in.

With the Kōkinjō getting sealed along with Kinkaku, Darui has no way to use the Benihisago. He nevertheless hangs onto it, hoping to find a way to free Samui and Atsui. In the meantime, he helps subdue the revived Kakuzu. By nightfall Kakuzu and the rest of Akatsuki's forces have been dealt with. Before they can claim victory, Madara appears on the battlefield with the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. While the Statue wreaks havoc, Madara confronts Darui and tries to take the Benihisago and the Kohaku no Jōhei. Fearing Madara's intentions, Darui and Shikamaru try to stop him, only to be attacked by the Statue. They are saved by Chōji and Kitsuchi while Madara escapes with the tools. They start to retreat at nightfall.
