Biography:

Kakashi Hatake is the team leader of team 7, originally consisting of Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke. He is one of Konoha’s elite Jonin ninja, having served in ANBU and having mastered many jutsus. Kakashi's father was the famed Sakumo Hatake, also known as the White Fang of Konoha. Kakashi is also known as Copy Ninja Kakashi and Sharigan Kakashi because of his left eye is a Sharigan eye. With the powerful abilities of the Sharingan, Kakashi is said to have copied over one thousand jutsus. However, even though the Sharigan is a bloodline ability of the Uchiha clan, Kakashi is not related to that family. He received the Sharigan surgically as a final gift from a dying teammate, Obito Uchiha. Because he is not of Uchiha lineage, Kakashi only has limited use of the Sharigan and prolonged use drains his chakra rapidly. Hence, Kakashi normally keeps his left eye covered with his headband and unveils the Sharigan only when it is absolutely necessary.

Kakashi usually has a lazy look about him and always seems to be tardy. Bust despite his appearances, Kakashi is a highly intelligent ninja with the skills to match. His belief is that your teammates come first before anything else during a mission, and has passed those values onto his own students.

Sakura's Abilities and Jutsus

HARUNO SAKURA

ABILITIES AND JUTSUS:

Inner Sakura (Special)

More of a personality disorder than a power, Inner Sakura is normal Sakura's violent inner voice which

betrays her calm outer appearance. But Inner Sakura does provide tremendous willpower and even a boost to physical strength when things get desperate.

Mystical Palm (Ninjutsu)

Mystical Palm is a technique Sakura learned from Tsunade. It sees use with medical ninja as a way to perform

surgery with chakra. In combat, this jutsu can be used to make precision

strikes, especially on internal organs. It requires highly precise control of chakra.

Superhuman Strength (Taijutsu)

Another ability learned from Tsunade. By focusing chakra into her fists or her feet and releasing it all at once, Sakura can significantly enhance the strength of her punches and kicks.

Poison Extraction (Ninjutsu)

A type of medical ninjutsu which requires very fine control of chakra. This technique is used to pull poisons from deep inside a body and contain it within a bubble made from water. The poison can then be safely collected and used to make antidotes.

Chakra Type: ?

Biography:

Sakura's prescence in Team 7 is usually overshadowed by the actions of Naruto and Sasuke. This is probably because Sakura has led the most normal childhood out of the three. Although Sakura does not possess any special ninjutsu or taijustu, she excels at manipulating chakra and is highly resistant to genjutsu (illusionary techniques). Her best traits are her intelligence and her excellent control of chakra. The latter ability makes her an ideal candidate as a medical ninja, which Tsunade has observed. Sakura does not excel at any particular type of jutsu, but is equally sufficient in each category. Her chakra control makes mastering new techniques easier. Sakura's intelligence and calmness often makes her the voice of reason in a group of hotheads.

At the end of part II, after seeing the beaten and injured Naruto from his failed mission to bring Sasuke back to Konoha, Sakura realizes she must stop relying so much on others for help. She begins training with Tsunade as a medical ninja and begins learning medical based jutsu as well as increasing her body's strength through the focussing of chakra.

One Tail (Ichibi), Shukaku

As we all know, this is Gaara's demon, a wild, extravagant monster.
Jinchuuriki: Sabaku no Gaara (Extracted, alive?)
Tale in the Legend of the Tailed Beasts: Shukaku is a bijuu in the form of Raccon Dog (Tanuki of the Japanese mythology). Before, he was a priest that lived in the Desert. Because of the dark power released by Yamata no Orochi, and under the heavy assault of wind and sand, he transformed into a racoon dog (His actual form). He has a playful and extravagant personality, resembling the Tanuki nature. Has a pretty active sexual life. Shukaku lives in the souls of people killed by the wind and sand (This actually resembles the case of Gaara’s mother). The violet (blue in the anime) tatoos represent his title of God of Wind.

Wins: Sokou
Losses: Raijuu, Nekomata, Isonade
Escapes: Yamata no Orochi

Bijuu Strength Ranking: 8th

About Tanuki: (From Wikipedia)
Tanuki have been part of Japanese myth since ancient times. The mythical tanuki is reputed to be mischievous and jolly, a master of disguise and shapeshifting, but somewhat gullible and absent-minded.
Tanuki in folklore: The current humorous image of tanuki is thought to have been developed during the Kamakura era. The wild tanuki has unusually large testicles, a feature often comically exaggerated in artistic depictions of tanuki. Tanuki may be shown with their testicles flung over their backs like a traveller's pack, or using them as drums. Tanuki are also typically depicted as having large bellies. They may be shown drumming on their bellies instead of their testicles, especially in children's art.
During the Kamakura and Muromachi eras, some stories began to include more frightening, man-eating tanuki. The otogizÅ?shi story of "Kachi-kachi Yama" features a tanuki that clubs an old lady to death and serves her to her unknowing husband as "old lady soup". Other stories report tanuki as being harmless and productive members of society. Several shrines have stories of past priests who were tanuki in disguise.
A popular tale known as Bunbuku chagama is about a tanuki who fooled a monk by transforming into a tea-kettle. Another is about a tanuki who tricked a hunter by disguising his arms as tree boughs, until he spread both arms at the same time and fell off the tree. Tanuki are said to cheat merchants with leaves they have magically disguised as paper money. Some stories describe tanuki as using leaves as part of their own shape-shifting magic.
Statues of tanuki can be found outside many Japanese temples and restaurants, especially noodle shops. These statues often wear a big, cone-shaped hat and carry a bottle of sake. Tanuki statues always have a large belly, although contemporary sculptures may or may not show the traditional large testicles. These exaggerated features represent fertility and plenty.

Two Tail (Nibi), Nekomata

Tale in the Legend of the Tailed Beasts: Nekomata is a bijuu in the form of cat, and possesses the power of death. This Bijuu lives in a place called the Forest of Death � (Not a mistranslation.) in Hokkaido, to the north. His appearance is a black cat monster (depicted with huge, black angel wings). He’s the Death God’s pet. Nekomata feeds on dead people’s spirits, and can summon these to fight for him. He uses a third eye at the top of its head to consume the spirits.
Situation in the Ancient War of the 9 Gods: Trying to dominate his enemies, Nekomata forms an alliance with Houkou, and attacks Kyuubi. They have a disastrous defeat, and Nekomata is rescued by the Death God, escaping death by a hair’s breadth. Battled 3 times; 2 Wins, 1 Loss.
Wins: Kaku, Isonade
Losses: Kyuubi
Fate: Nekomata ends up killed by Kyuubi later, and in that instant his spirit is summoned by the Death God. The body was kept in a shrine in the of Death, sealed by the Death God himself.
Japanese Myth Appearance: A species of two tails black cat, with slightly more pointed ears and bigger canines.
Ability: Death; may control deceased person's spirits (May be related to Gaara) as well as different dark beasts
Bijuu Strength Ranking: 4th
Bijuu Chakra/Stamina Ranking: 8th
Symbolic Element: Darkness (God of Darkness)
Origin/Discovered in: Hokkaido’s “ Forest of Devils � (Different of Forest of Death)
Personal Notes: This better have had a female Jinchuuriki, I am hoping.
More info about Nekomata: it is said it can walk erect. The original Bijuu was a old cat, depicted as a fat, old lady’s image also.
People knew of it, and in fear of having their cats turned into the monster, they cut its tails to prevent the transformation when the time came - a bifurcation. By gesturing with its tail (and walking erect), Nekomata can animate and control the dead to do their bidding, or even dance for their amusement. Sometimes it eats its owner, then changes into an human appearance, waiting for a next opportunity. Nekomata eats the person it hates, but if the person is even more wicked, the crueler the cat becomes. When it sees the person, Nekomata won’t differ the bad and good anymore, and injures the person as much as it can. There is also a good Nekomata in the legend, that often turns into a young girl’s appearance to approach the society; with a very docile nature, likes eating fish, has a beautiful body and likes depending upon others. Otherwise, the Nekomata’s appearance becomes of a old woman, that displays bad habits in public and always has an air of dread around her; which if around people for an extended period can cause disease and pestilence.
Nekomata can also do other magic, but their most well-known and common power is that of animating the dead and manipulating them to whatever ends the particular nekomata wishes. A nekomata must be appeased by attention, food, and respect, and while many are fickle and turn their attention at a moment's notice, they do not tend to forget when they are insulted and by whom, holding grudges. To gain revenge, these nekomata usually controlled the tormentors' dead relatives, haunting them until the nekomata was appeased with food, apologies and attention.

Three Tails (Sanbi), Isonade

Tale in the Legend of the Tailed Beasts: Isonade is a shark shaped Bijuu with a sharp horn on the forehead. It lives in the deep waters on the West of Japan, fighting pirates. Every few months, Isonade will swim to the surface of the sea from the deep waters, to breath some fresh air. However, when he does this, storms erupt, oceans rage, and all ships will be swallowed by him as food. Isonade has a subordinate fish called Samehada (?) (Same name as Kisame's Sword. Depicted differently, but with same pronunciation). Samehada attaches itself to Isonade’s stomach, and absorbs its food to create huge amounts of chakra, proceeding to send it back to its body. Samehada’s power can enable Isonade to get 5 times the quantity of chakra it could originally get. Therefore, when Isonade battles, he will have unlimited chakra to receive from Samehada.
Situation in the Ancient War of the 9 Gods: Battled 4 times; 2 Wins, 1 Loss, 1 Flee
Wins: Kaku, Shukaku
Losses: Nekomata
Escapes: Yamata no Orochi
Fate: A fisherman and brave warrior from Yokohama, called Takuma Muramasa, sacrifices himself in behalf of two villages in a courageous act, getting near Isonade and sealing his personal servant Samehada in the “Tool of Power: Pot of the Shark-named fish� from seal in the Water Shrine. Isonade then becomes unable to draw the massive chakra, and ends up getting exausted and sucked by the Tool’s seal in the Water Shrine as well.
Japanese Myth Appearance: A big shark/fish(?) with 3 tails and 3 fins. Has a dark blue body color, is attracted by blood (like all sharks); has a personal servant, a small fish named Samehada, as shown above, that is responsible to help Isonade absorb and digest Chakra in 5 times his original capacity.
Ability: Generic water powers, can control the currents of water.
Bijuu Strength Ranking: 6th
Bijuu Chakra/Stamina Ranking: 7th
Symbolic Element: Water (God of Water)
Origin/Discovered in: Four Nanju Country Islands? - Yawagawa Sea Area (*COUGH*Nanju is Kisame's Akatsuki Rank*COUGH*)
Personal notes: Well, if this bijuu doesn’t scream KISAME to you, then this note is indeed useful. The Samehada connection is frightening (absorbs chakra), but there can be more about it, explaining WHY Kisame’s chakra reserve is SO big (as being the biggest in Akatsuki).
