Character Index
I felt this to be a helpful addition to the story seeing as how people have trouble following the Japanese names. With the chunin exams fast approaching, many names are going to start popping up, so I'm creating this index to help out anyone who is confused.
Team 1
Led by: Munashii Kaguya
Specialty: Bones, taijutsu
Age: ?
Recruited by Shikamaru in Jashin's Curse after the spirit Jashin proclaimed him as his new chosen. She has the power of immortality and is the only known remainder of the Kaguya clan, who were well known for their kekkei genkai that allowed them to manipulate their skeletal structure. She is a tall but slender woman who has the appearance of someone in their early 20's. She has long, white hair and two dots on her forehead. She is a vicious fighter with strong offensive and defensive capabilities. Her personality is very serious when it comes to training and fighting, but slightly more carefree to other matters. She is incredibly loyal to Jashin and Shikamaru.
Namimaru Murakami
Specialty: Physical combat, Elemental Jutsu
Age: 12
An average ninja in every way and constantly mocked by his peers, until he asked for the help of an unknown entity. The entity has given him a new found confidence as well as a great increase of physical strength. He is at medium height with constantly messed up auburn hair. He is generally shy and reclusive, only gaining confidence when showing off or challenged by someone. He has had a long childhood crush on his squad mate, Yuna.
Yuna Nara
Specialty: Clan Inherited Jutsu
Age: 12
A peppy and upbeat girl from the Nara Clan who has trained directly under Munashii. She is a mildly attractive girl who gets along well with her squad and constantly cheers on Namimaru when he falls behind. She is a girl of average height and appearance with light blonde hair.
Keiko Aburame
Specialty: Insects, Medical Ninjutsu
Age: 13
She is considered one of the more adept genin of her class, as well as the most beautiful. She is unlike other members of her clan because she doesn't hide most of her body, preferring to wear short sleeves and shorts without a hood of glasses to hide her eyes. She has jet black hair and Kazuki describes her as "developing early". Her personality is very straight forward and she easily voices her opinions, including her disappointment with Namimaru. She has taken a sudden interest in Kazuki due to his loud and happy demeanor.
Team 2
Led by: Neji Hyuga (Or Hyuuga, I'm not sure)
I don't think descriptions are necessary here.
Tsubaki Akimichi
Specialty: Clan Inherited Jutsu and Techniques
Age: 12
Though she is from the Akimichi clan, you wouldn't able to tell by looking at her. She is a strong and slender girl who has quite a bit of pride. She is well aware of her attractiveness and knows when people are staring, quickly giving them a threatening glance as a hint of what she will do to them. She has long, bright red hair and an intimidating personality.
Joukei Hyuga
Specialty: Clan Inherited Techniques
Age: 13
A Hyuga clan member personally trained by Neji. He is incredibly overconfident and belittles others believing their abilities to be inferior. He is referred to by the adults as a 'Second Neji' due to their similar speed in mastering the gentle fist, though, it appears as if Joukei has actually mastered a bit more than Neji at his level. He belongs to a noble branch of the Hyuga Clan and is not afflicted with their clan's infamous curse mark. He looks similar to young neji, with the exception of his much more expensive clothing and more defined brunette hair.
Jin Hatake
Specialty: Lightning Fast Movements and hand-to-hand combat, Intelligence
Age: 10
The youngest of the graduating genin due to his ability to pass each class with flying colors, allowing him to speed through the system with ease. He has been personally trained by his father, Kakashi, and possesses a very high I.Q. When the entire class was given their intelligence test, he scored second only to Isai. He is short with spiky silver hair similar to his father's and hides most of his features behind a mask that he never removes. However, both of his eyes can be seen since he does not possess a Sharingan.
Team 3
Led by: Ino Yamanaka
Once again, no description necessary.
Reika Inuzuka
Specialty: Animal empathy, Clan Inherited Jutsu
Reika has the typical temperament of most members of her clan. She is hot-headed and easily angered, as well as very good with animals. However, Reika takes this to a different level. She was born with the ability to feel the presence and instincts of nearby animals. She is average height with spiky brown hair and is considered mildly attractive in the eyes of Kazuki.
Hanabi Asano
Specialty: Bombs and Pyrotechnics

Team 4
Led by: Shikamaru Nara
For those of you who haven't read the previous story I've written, I suggest you do so. If you are too lazy then here's the tl:dr version: Shikamaru became the next of Jashin's chosen and has resolved to restore Jashin's original purpose which is returning human blood to the Earth. He got together with Tayuya, various things happened leaving her pregnant. He has powers bestowed upon him by Jashin.

Age: 12
The son of Kurenai and Asuma. He is a very energetic and loud person with a perverted mind. Though not the most intelligent of his class, he is creative and can usually find ways to trick his opponents into letting down their guard. His taijutsu is above average and he has discovered that he has received a special kekkei genkai that has been passed down from deep within the family tree. This has given him the ability to master his chakra elements with amazing speed. Kazuki is slightly tall and has short, jet black hair. His eyes match the strange color of his mother's.
Isai Kira
Specialty: Intelligence, Chakra Control

Isai is an exceptionally intelligent girl which has allowed her to skip a grade in the academy. Though her combat and jutsu skills are average, she makes up for it with precise mathematical reasoning and a strong sense of foresight. She is a short girl with glasses and bright purple hair that she doesn't keep very tidy. Though every once and awhile, she will try to show off to gain the attention of Kazuki, who she has always looked up to and admired. She has proven to have quite a bit of excess chakra by being able to easily create multiple shadow clones without losing much energy.
Atsui Yamanaka

Age: 13
A very skilled genin who trains extensively every day. She trained on her own after most days of class in the academy giving her an edge over her classmates. She is a tall girl with long silver hair.

Yeah. He's Rock Lee. He wears ten ton weights on his legs.
Morodashi and Marudashi
Specialty: Combination attacks, Physical strength
Age: 12
A rare group of ninja twins who are almost perfectly in sync with one another. They work as the perfect tag team and are equally perverted. They have the tendency to say what they shouldn't and are both lazy and impolite. They both have spiky, light brown hair and are near impossible to tell apart. They like to finish each other's sentences to confuse people and are rarely seen without both twins around.
Lee Sin
Specialty: Physical Combat, Advanced Non-visual Senses
Age: 14
(Inspired by a character in League of Legends) Lee Sin is a tall and muscular blind boy who has been constantly set back by his handicap. His long black hair obscures his facial features. Other ninja in the academy had never believed he could become a real ninja and had always taunted him, but Lee Sin silently endured their insults and mocking. Lee Sin aims to prove that he is quite capable of becoming the worlds strongest ninja and his handicap only makes him stronger. Though he has been held back quite a bit by his handicap, he has never slowed down and never given up. This caught Rock Lee's eye and caused Rock Lee to demand him as a student.

Once a member of the sound four, she barely survived an encounter with Temari and returned to the Sound.

Now that Shikamaru is in control of Jashin's power, Tayuya has reluctantly accepted the power of Jashin in case she needs to defend her child. She has been imbued with Jashin's power that prevents her from aging anymore than her physical peak that she has recently reached.
