"''Emotions? Nope, I've got nothin' like that. I told you when we first met, didn't I? I'm a snake. With cold skin, no emotions, that slithers around searching for prey with its tongue, swallowing down whatever looks tasty.""

『 Looks | 外見』 :

Gin is fairly ordinary in terms of clothing, and he doesn't wear any unique items. His overall appearance, however, is not as normal. He keeps his eyes constantly narrowed to slits, rarely ever opening his eyes enough to visibly reveal their bright sky blue-color. Although he appears to be an early to mid twenty-year-old person, he is unusually thin and tall with very sharp features giving him a skeletal appearance. He bears unusual silver hair (his name refers to his hair color; gin [銀] is Japanese for silver). He also keeps his face set in a wide mocking smile, which he only wipes off on rare occasions of annoyance, surprise, confusion, or even sadness.

The hilt of his blade is visible sticking out from under the robe through the opening down to his waist. Later Gin is seen wearing a white hakama, instead of the black ones he was last seen in. Gin wears his robe open in a narrow 'V' down to his waist, closed to below the hips, and then open again to the hem, which falls about mid-calf. His robe has long bell sleeves, into which he hides his hands like some do with kimono sleeves. The lining of the robe and edges or layers of the under-robe(s) appear to be black.

: 『 Personality | 性格』

Gin is one of the most mysterious Shinobi in the series, since his almost constant smile and slitted eyes, combined with his heavy use of sarcasm and mocking politeness, make it very difficult to discern his thoughts. Many find his demeanor and appearance rather unsettling and there are very few who were willing to trust him even before he was revealed as a traitor. Gin seems to be fully aware of the effect he has on others and more than once has been seen toying with people's emotional states for his own amusement. A ninja noted to herself that she felt like she was being strangled by snakes whenever he spoke, even if he was not speaking to her directly. Gin speaks with a distinct Kyoto dialect, which is polite but indirect.

Ever since he was a child, dried persimmons had been his favorite food. Planting and raising many persimmon trees around the Raikage office, Gin would make the dried persimmons himself before distributing them to other divisions. Due to mistaking a dried sweet potato for a dried persimmon he developed a dislike for the former. During his free time, while still a captain, Gin would often go out for walks around Kumogakure. Despite his hobby supposedly being people-watching, it would seem as though he also enjoyed hunting around and searching for an opportunity to create mischief with some poor victim.

『Lightning Mastery | 電光』:

You must be registered for see images

Thanks to Teno and -Naruto-, Gin has excelled in the usage of Lightning techniques, he can do all Lightning techniques with faster hand seals. With the God of Lightning, Gin doesn't need to form any hand seals to perform Lightning techniques. Simply swing the spear and all techniques will be performed. All Gin's lightning techniques are given a +15 in damage boosts thanks to the God of Lightning.

♆ Futsu-Nushi-No-Kami - God of Lightning ♆

"Zeus' toothpick"

Granted Abilities:

The user doesn't need to do any handseals for his raiton jutsu's, instead he just needs to swing his spear.
Gives +15 damage to every raiton jutsu of the user.
Raiton jutsu's of the opponent loose -10 damage.
Fuuton jutsu's of the user loose -10 damage.
By focusing raiton chakra into the spear, it gets completely clad in lightning, transforming it into a lightning scythe, shocking everything it touches (except the wielder) and making the spear strong enough to even pierce boulders, trees and even normal metal. Twice per battle it can be used to destroy C-rank or below raiton jutsu's.
Three times per battle the sword can negate the elemental weakness of one raiton jutsu, making it so it doesn't have any basic elemental weakness. It has to be said when using this ability on the moment you use the raiton jutsu.
The head of the spear can be removed from the shaft, creating some kind of shuriken and a bo staff. A more practical use is of this ability is that the spearhead can be shot from the shaft, but remains linked to it by a string of raiton chakra. This way it can be used as an extra long flail, but also in a similar way to how the Lightning Chain jutsu works.

Sword Techs:

(Raiton: Raikouhiru) - Lightning Style: Lightning Leech -

Rank: B
Type: Defensive/Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user focuses raiton-based chakra into Futsu-Nushi-No-Kami and, when facing an enemy raiton Jutsu, stabs the spear and hits the jutsu. The result is that the jutsu instantly disappears and looses all its power. 50% of the damage it would originally have done is sucked up into Futsu-Nushi-No-Kami and is automatically added to the damage of the next raiton jutsu the user will use (regardless of what type it is).

☛ Can only be used against B-rank and below raiton jutsu's
☛ Does not get the default damage boost from the God of Lightning
☛ Can only be used four times per battle

(Raiton: Raikou Bo-ringu) - Lightning Style: Lightning Bowling -

Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short/Medium/Long
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: 60
Description: The user focuses raiton-based chakra into Futsu-Nushi-No-Kami and then makes a stabbing motion with the spear. A round object, with the size of a basketbal, made out of lightning, materializes at the tip of the spear as its swung, releasing itself at the apex of the motion, shooting out at great speeds. The ball has the unique ability to bounce off solid structures, so that it bounces extremely fast towards the opponent, using the initial momentum of the throw and the ground as a means to propel towards the target without slowing down. Though it seems a harmless ball it can easily bounce itself through larger, though weaker, jutsu's without much effort. Then at the command of the user it explodes releasing hundreds of small lightning senbon in all directions, except towards the direction of where the user is standing.

☛ Does not get the damage boost from the God of Lightning

(Raiton: Raikou Jaggurumatsuri) - Lightning Style: Lightning Juggling Festival -

Rank: S
Type: Defensive
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 40 (+5 each turn)
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user focuses raiton-based chakra into Futsu-Nushi-No-Kami and it releases lightning that form three orbs around the user. These three orbs then keep hovering around the user. When the opponent attacks the user with a jutsu, one of the orbs can be sacrificied at the command of the user to stop the incoming attack. The orb then goes straight for the attack and neutralizes it completely without any visible damage.

☛ Can only be used once per battle
☛ One orb can stop up to A-rank jutsu's, two orbs can stop up to S-rank jutsu's and sacrificing all three orbs at the same time can stop one forbidden ranked jutsu. Normal elemental weaknesses are applied. Each orb can only be used once if that wasn't clear yet.
☛ This jutsu works as long as the user wants but he needs to pay +5 chakra each turn and when the three orbs have been sacrificied, the jutsu ends
☛ As long as this jutsu is active the user can't use any raiton-based jutsu's

(Raiton: Kobushi Raikoutenshu) - Lightning Style: Fist of the Thundergod -

Rank: S
Type: Offensive
Range: Medium/Long
Chakra Cost: 40
Damage Points: 80
Description: The user starts to focus raiton-based chakra into Futsu-Nushi-No-Kami. As a result the spear starts to release lightning, which goes into the air and forms an enormous fist (and a part of the lower arm) in the air that wields a lightning-replica of Futsu-Nushi-No-Kami. By moving your own arm, the replica will do exactly the same. For example when slamming your fist into the ground, the lightning fist will do exactly the same on the opponent. The force that is released is so big that it even cracks the earth open on the place where the fist landed. The lightning arm can be materialized in more useful or constructive ways, grabbing a target or even lifting the user.

☛ Can only be used thrice per battle
☛ Does not get the default damage boost from the God of Lightning

(Raiton: Raijin Shinwa Gadian) - Lightning Style: Lightning God's Mythical Guardian -

Rank: Forbidden
Type: Offensive
Range: Medium/Long
Chakra Cost: 60
Damaga Points: 120 (-20)
Description: The user impales Futsu-Nushi-No-Kami into the ground and then focuses raiton chakra into it. The spear then releases all the chakra underground, forming it into a large mythical beast that has the body of a dragon, but the head of a shark with a sword sticking out of its nose. The lightning beast remains under the surface, with exception of its dorsal fin, which sticks out 10 meters above the surface and is around 1.5 meters wide. When the user then pulls the spear out of the ground, the beast blasts of towards its target, travelling underground, except his dorsal fin which remains viewable on the surface and cuts through the earth as it moves forwards. When it reaches its target, it jumps out of the earth, biting and stabbing the opponent. On that moment the beast releases all its energy, causing it to explode in a violent way and creating a large sphere of lightning (which appears above ground as a lightning dome), that eventually leaves behind a bowl shaped crater. On the command of the user it's possible to make the beast explode sooner, even if it hasn't attacked the opponent yet.

☛ Can only be used once per battle
☛ Does not get the default damage boost from the God of Lightning
☛ The user takes -20 damage due to the extreme force of the lightning
☛ The user can't use any raiton-based jutsu's the next two turns
☛ The user can't use any forbidden jutsu's the same turn this jutsu is used.

History | 歴史 :

『 The Birth』:

You must be registered for see images

Gin was born in the lovely village of Iwagakure. He was born into a family with a strong family. Gin didn't know his parents that well, because when Gin was at a young age, his parents had died in the Great War. After his parents died, Gin was raised by his grandmother, until about the age of 14. After Gin had graduated from the shinobi academy at an early age, Gin was placed in a team with TheLeader and Reborn. The Captain of this squad was none other then Mathias. Mathias lead Team 7 through many missions, and help us perfect our jutsu learning through random training sessions and teamwork. Unlike TheLeader, Reborn and Gin didn't have a natural affinity for earth. So, Mathias made sure to find which element they were naturally good at. Luckily both Reborn and Gin had a natural affinity for Wind, and so Mathias trained them hard in wind. Mathias had many students, but he commented on Reborn and Gins exceptional learning ability and focused on developing them further. Unfortunately though, before Gin could fully finish his training with Mathias, he was told the truth about his parents death. The truth was that his parents could have been saved by the Tsuchikage, but he decided that they rather two people die then putting the whole village at risk, so he decided against it. When Gin heard this, He immediately left the village, he was 14 years old and already harbored some hatred to Iwagakure. Gin travels for a while till he landed in a village called Amegakure. Although till this day, he hopes to see his teammates and his sensei again.

『 Amekagure Saga』:

Gin entered Amegakure, but didn't like the setting, it was always raining. He decided he'd better just resupply and move on. After he had gotten his supplies he met Aizen, Aizen wasn't from Amegakure but he had been in town for a while. The two chit chatted and then Aizen mentioned that he had been receiving training from Hanzo in the art of Rain. He told Gin he should come with him and to learn it. Gin told him that he didn't know any water jutsu and hadn't completely mastered his wind. Aizen decided to help him out, Aizen taught him everything he needed to know when it came to mastering these elements and as soon as was finished, Aizen went to Hanzo and decided to begin the training in Rain. Gin decided to just watch and not participate. After a few months, Aizen decided he'd go visit Sunagakure and see what its like there, he asked Gin to come along but Gin told him that he has another destination he wishes to go to. After Aizen had left, Gin was prepared to leave when he ran into a man with a black cloak on with red clouds on it. Gin knew who he was, or rather who he was affiliated with. The Akatsuki member saw this 15 year old boy and took an interest in him. He took off his hood, and introduced himself as Nagato.. , He said that Gin looked like a boy with Potential and he took him in. He taught how to mess with people minds in the art of genjutsu, although that training never finished, Nagato.. taught Gin one of Gin's favorite things. He taught him how to summon snakes, this was great for Gin, because later in his travels, the snakes prove to be great companions. Gin was grateful to Nagato.. for this, and before departing for Kirigakure, he told Nagato.. that he would love to help him just as Nagato.. helped him.

『 Kirigakure Saga』:

On his way to Kirigakure, Gin took some time off and trained in the element of Earth. This element came easier to him and he learned it quick, it also didn't hurt to have a teacher of great excellence in Coyote to help him along the way. When Gin arrived in Kirigakure, he was 17 years old. He went into a pub and immediately recognized a face, it was Reborn is old teammate. Ecstatic as ever, they sit down for hours and rejoice the good old days. Reborn tells Gin that Mathias has now become the Tsuchikage. Gin wasn't surprised his sensei got the title, Gin till this days wonders if he should go visit his old teacher, and maybe with him as the kage, he can let go of his hatred towards the village. A couple days later, Reborn shows Gin around the village and introduces him Migualon J.J. and the two become good friends. Mig teaches Gin the art of Lightning, and Gin is exceptionally good at it, like always he surprises his sensei with outstanding work. After catching up with Reborn and meeting some new people, Gin heads out, his journey to find a new home continues. He finally gets on the main land and meets, three people. Teno, -Broly-, and Selendrile, these three were chilling and had noticed Gin and his facial expression. They told him to comeover and hangout, and the three become good friends. They had practice spars daily, and Gin and -Broly- would always go at it to the fullest, Gin usually always won but that was because he was more experienced then -Broly-. It's rumored that present day, -Broly- is one of the more stronger people in Konoha and an exceptional Taijutsu user. Gin and -Broly- became rivals and pushed each other to the brink of exhaustion. Teno and Selendrile, both accomplished fighters, saw that Gin Lightning wasn't complete, so they trained him and completed his mastery of it. Also Teno gave him, his own summoning contract. A year later the 4 parted ways and Gin was still unaware of where to go. He had decided to visit the land of Lightning to see where that would lead him.

『 Life at Kumogakure』:

Gin made his way to Kumogakure and there, he found his new home. The Raikage Mugiwara welcomed him and he was also welcomed in by many others. He met ~xstukune~ and till today he has been Gin's closest friend in the village and both have competed and gone on missions together ever since. He stayed there and perfected his Katon, thanks to the wonderful help from Piccolosan. Gin made sure to help this village in any way possible, he wanted to be the one his friends relied on when it got tough, so he worked extra hard to do this. Now that Mugiwara as stepped down and Kirabi is now the Raikage, Gin is trying even harder to impress the new Raikage and hopefully one day he would be recognized. He has the support of his friends, dm1202, Necron, 4th Raikage, Serpent, Dead Bones, riverslade, Gitanshu, Enzup, Darui, AK, Igneel, ZandaT, PGL, Solf, Ushiro, Naizen and all the other villagers.

Life in the village was great. Kumogakure enjoyed long months of peace (aside from the consent "invasions" from Suna). Then came the Akatsuki invasion. Gin fought his teacher Lord of Kaos and barely survived with his life. The same couldn't have been said for Nidaime Raikage Kirabi. He fought the powerful Lili Chwan and fought valiantly. The most powerful man in Kumogakure was brought down and the village had to pick up the pieces and start over. After the funeral for the great kage it was decided that a new kage would need to be elected. Only two people were nominated for the job. Gatsndshanks and surprisingly Gin himself. It was surprising because at first the Sandaime Raikage spot was already given to Hei Uzumaki. But with his "betrayal" to the Akatasuki, the village had a long process in nominating. The two candidates couldn't be more different. Gatsndshanks was the only one left from "the big 3 era" of Kumogakure. He was what the Raikage position always was. Overpowered freaks of nature that were feared by everyone across the ninja world. Gin on the other hand, made a slight name for himself in wars but his name wasn't as popular. He was respected in the village and he had help bring along a lot of the young villagers. The village had a vote. Surprisingly Gin had won the vote in a landslide. Now Sandaime Raikage, Kumogakure was on a new path, to more success. Through his reign as Raikage the village was attacked numerous times. Gin had trained and helped his villagers become successes. He didn't even have to defend the village, the villagers took them all out at the borderlands most of the time. His villagers like -Best-, Uchiha Lee, Anbu Junior, Bloo, -Osman-, Strawberry, Rez, Mako, Darui.., Shady, -Shino-, Bcity, Venom, -Danzo-, Ishiro, Gecko, Sindy, Seblax, Riker, Loki. They did their best to protect Kumogakure and they had succeeded.

『 Epilogue』:

Gin, his first officer and Peace General made up the cabinet that took Kumogakure back to heights it once had. Broly and Ciberr did their best to adopt Gin's philosophy about running a village. Unintentionally it spread to the whole village. That philosophy was that everything everyone did was so for the betterment of the village. Training, learning jutsus, becoming stronger. Success for the individual was success for the village. Gin did this with everything he was involved in. He taught to all his villagers at least one element or area. He never declined a villager for help or training. He used his positions to benefit the village as best he could. Gin's time as Raikage was coming to an end. Broly or Ciberr were likely going to be nominated to succeed him as Yondaime. The village was in good hands either way. No matter who was the head, the foundation of the village was stable.

Gin was the realest ***** in the game.
