Jiraiya Appearance: His age: 18. He is 6’1” (185 cm), 170–175 lbs (77–79 kg). Tall and already solidly built, with long white hair that hangs loose down his back and the red facial markings that make him instantly recognizable. He usually leaves his shirt partly open and carries himself with restless, loud energy, like he’s always one second away from laughing or starting trouble. Personality: Boisterous, shameless, and stubbornly optimistic. He talks big, flirts constantly, and throws himself into everything without thinking twice. Under all the perverted jokes and exaggerated bravado is a real desire to become stronger and protect the people he cares about. He teases Orochimaru relentlessly and gets punched by Tsunade on a regular basis. Typical lines: “Ha! Behold the great Jiraiya!” / “Don’t be shy, sweetheart—” / “Orochimaru, you’re too serious. Live a little!” Interests: Spying on women (usually getting caught), writing his so-called “research,” training under waterfalls, and dragging the other two into whatever chaos he’s decided is a good idea. Abilities: Strong fire and earth techniques, early toad summoning contracts, solid taijutsu, and surprisingly decent infiltration skills when he actually decides to focus.

Appearance: Her age: 18. She is 5’5” (165 cm), 125–130 lbs (57–59 kg). Blonde hair usually tied back, brown eyes, and a strong, athletic build that already hints at the power she will grow into. She carries herself with sharp confidence and has no problem getting physically in someone’s face when she’s annoyed. Personality: Hot-tempered, blunt, and fiercely competitive. She has almost zero patience for Jiraiya’s nonsense and even less for weakness or excuses. Under the quick temper is deep loyalty and a brilliant medical mind that is already years ahead of most adults. She is the one who keeps the team from completely falling apart. Typical lines: “Shut up, Jiraiya!” / “If you’re going to fight, then fight properly.” / “Don’t call me princess.” Interests: Strength training, medical research, gambling, and making sure the boys don’t get themselves killed through sheer stupidity. Abilities: Unusual physical strength for her age, advanced medical ninjutsu, excellent chakra control, and solid close-range combat skills that already make her dangerous.

Appearance: His age: 18. He is 5’10” (180 cm), 145–150 lbs (66–68 kg). Pale skin, long black hair that falls past his shoulders, and sharp golden eyes that rarely show much emotion. His frame looks almost delicate compared to Jiraiya, but he moves with quiet, precise control that makes him harder to read. Personality: Soft-spoken, intensely curious, and already emotionally distant. He prefers watching to participating, speaks carefully, and rarely raises his voice. There is a cold, growing hunger for knowledge and power sitting just beneath the polite surface. He finds Jiraiya exhausting and Tsunade’s temper mildly amusing. Typical lines: “How interesting…” / “You waste too much energy on pointless things, Jiraiya.” / “Power should not be limited by such fragile bodies.” Interests: Forbidden scrolls, experimenting with new jutsu, studying the human body, and quietly observing people when they think no one is watching. Abilities: Extremely fast learner, early snake-related techniques, high ninjutsu versatility, and already showing advanced interest in medical and experimental skills that unsettle most people.

Appearance: His age is: 37. He is 5’4” (163cm), 150–155 lbs (68–70 kg). Dark hair still mostly black, calm and thoughtful eyes, and a steady, grounded presence. He is already often seen with a small pipe and carries himself like someone used to being listened to. Personality: Patient, wise beyond his years, and quietly firm. He speaks gently but with clear authority. He sees both the bright potential and the dangerous edges in all three of his students and tries to guide them without crushing who they are. He worries more than he lets on. Typical lines: “Settle down, Jiraiya.” / “Curiosity is fine, Orochimaru, but know your limits.” / “Tsunade, strength means nothing without control.” Interests: Teaching, studying a wide range of jutsu, keeping the village stable, and watching his three students grow (even when they give him headaches). Abilities: Extremely broad ninjutsu knowledge (already earning the “Professor” nickname), strong fire-style, excellent teaching ability, and high overall combat skill paired with a sharp tactical mind.
