PERSONALITY:
Kanae is a very cheerful person but most of the time shows her other side which is being calm and a little bit serious, she doesn’t talk so much but she cares about the rest of the persons, well she never demonstrate it unless it is someone she really cares of. Because of her appearance people think she is weak but she’s not and when she is mad she can arrive at the point of killing. She never doubts when she is fighting unless the case is special; she was trained by her grandfather who was a cold person.
BEING A JOUNIN
At the beginning Kanae didn’t feel ready for being sensei of a team but time passed and she began to get used to the idea and she felt more secure of herself. As a sensei, Kanae is strict and this because she wants that her team becomes strong and the best.
So about Kanon and Kane, she wants that Kane stops being passive and that Kanon stop protecting Kane all the time. On the other hand the relation with Kyra isn’t like the relation that Gai and Rock lee have and it’ll never going to be like that.
At first, to Kanae, their students didn’t mean anything but time passed and she began to appreciate them and also care about them to the point of consider them as her family.
STORY
In her childhood, Kanae lived with her parents in the village hidden in the leaves, her life was very calmed, her father was an excellent ninja who belonged to the anbu and this is the reason why he didn’t share many time with his family; on the other hand, her mother being in that situation became overprotective with her daughter and was always with her; their bond was strong.
As for her training, her parents were determined to build her as an excellent ninja; her mother always teaching her taijutsu and some medical techniques; and her father when he had enough time, teaching her ninjutsus.
During the attack of the Kyuubi towards the village Kanae was stubborn and tried to help her parents; however she was too young and inexperienced to do anything valuable and she finished the battle with two scars, one on her left eye and one on her neck; at that time both parents sacrificed their lives in order to protect her and they died.
This incident occurred when she was very young, because of that people around the village took care of her and for her side, she continued to train herself around other ninjas that agreed to help her; she grew up and became a part of a team; however she never felt she really belonged there and for that reason was cold towards her sensei and teammates. The one that she admired was Minato because he helped her at one time; the other reason was that she was very curious towards his team and admired them as well.
Most of the times she dedicated herself to watch their trainings and learn in silence; she was especially curious about Kakashi, who seemed to ignore her every time. At first they didn’t get along because of the difference in age and because of both’s attitude; however as time passed, they kind of get accustomed to the others company and worked in harmony.
When Minato died along with Obio, Kanae was depressed but on the other hand, the bonds towards Kakashi grew stronger because she thought that just having him alive was all that she needed. When everything was beginning to be normal again, Kanae’s grandfather appeared demanding her to come with him because he was family and she needed training. At the end she didn’t have an option and left the village along with her grandfather.
Kanae returned to the village at the age of 16, not very long after her grandfather’s death. When she did she was a new ninja and the time was short before she became a jounin. After that and hard work, she finally entered the ANBU and somehow felt closer to her father; as time passed she was part of the assassination group but she arrived to a point in which she thought she needed to do something less strict and so she wanted to become the sensei of a team.
The years passed but the right team for Kanae didn’t arrive. Finally after waiting for a long time, three students arrived to her life and Team “K” was formed.
BONDS
-With Naruto: At first she ignored the existence of him and the other students that weren’t art of her team; however because of his personality he entered Kanae’s life and indirectly she began to see him as a good friend.
-With the other Jounin: She is a good friend of all, especially of Kurenai because she is a woman.
-With Kakashi: As mentioned before, they didn’t have a good relationship at the beginning; this changed with the time and their company became something normal in their lives; when she was gone she thought about Kakashi a lot and realized she cared about him and appreciate him very much. Kanae was pleased to meet him again when she returned to the village and discovered she saw him as something else; however because not knowing if her feelings were corresponded she kept quiet for a while and after some time finally decided to began to show her emotions ins a fluid way towards him.
SPECIAL TECHNIQUE: THE NEREGAI
In the years with her grandfather, he taught her basic techniques but he also taught her a new technique he was working on but for the nature of his chakra he couldn’t. Neregai is a technique that consists in 9 whips of 9 different elements; it is based in something related with bijus and specially the Kyuubi.
The elements are
Air
Earth
Water
Fire
Light
Darkness
Thunder
Ice
The final whip refers to one that can kill the opponent form one blow, though Kanae hasn’t discover it or how to use it.
Kanae is still training and getting stronger in order to control the different elements; elements such as air, earth, water and fire were easier for her because of the basic ninjutsus; however at the time of combining two different types of elements her challenge began; right now she is trying to master the ice and light whip.
