Firmly believing that the position of Raikage belongs to one outside of the current lineage in which it is being passed on, the boy will stop at nothing to ensure his goals are seen through to fruition. Marui has little patience for stupidity or incompetence, and surrounds himself with like-minded individuals who seek power and success. Although he feels proud and honoured to be a shinobi of the Hidden Cloud, Marui understands that not everybody's place is on the battlefield, and believes his skillset is better suited for the gathering of intelligence and navigating of political waters. He trusts very few people and although his leadership skills leave some to be desired, the boy is a tactical and strategical genius, believing in the power of knowledge over that of the shinobi arts. Marui enjoys classical music, reading and yakitori, while disliking bright colours, Noh masks and loud noises. Ironically enough, Marui has a great fear of heights. Born and raised in Kumogakure no Sato, Yoippari Marui was always observant and sharp of both tongue and mind, understanding that a lot more was happening in the village than what everyone could see. The boy's studies at the Shinobi Academy were brief, and his high level of intelligence allowed him to progress to the rank of Genin quite quickly, followed by Chūnin shortly thereafter. Eventually forgoing the typical training of a shinobi, Marui began to hone his skills with his kekkei genkai [ bloodline inheritance ] as well as in the area of gathering and analyzing shinobi intelligence. Publicly presenting himself as both an intelligence analyst and interrogations expert, Marui was soon promoted to the rank of Tokubetsu Jōnin, showing his extreme dedication and skill in his craft. Sometime during his teenage years the boy was also exposed to the Hidden Cloud's dark underbelly; a group of clans who opposed the new Raikage and the fact that he, a child, was chosen with bias over many other more suitable candidates. Someone in the rebel faction managed to sway Marui's trust and belief in his family and leader, causing the boy to join the rebel forces and work for them in the shadows, gathering and analyzing intelligence within his own village. |
