Arano Heian (あらの へいあん, Heian Arano) is a Chūnin level Shinobi from Konohagakure. He is the first person in his family's history to walk the path of Shinobi, and the only one to have ever shown the ability to be one. Arano is the son of a local butcher, however, in spite of his trivial heritage, he is a noteworthy prodigy. Since the day he walked into the Academy, Arano has been recognized as the most talented person of his generation and a prodigy of the highest class. On many occassions, he has even been compared to other gifted shinobi greats such as the late Sakumo Hatake, also known as the White Fang of Konoha, in terms of talent. His exceptional talent has, in fact, perplexed some people within Konoha due to his meager pedigree. Nevertheless, Arano is a well liked and respected young man among Konoha shinobi, known to have a very bright future ahead of him.
In the past, he was placed under the tutelage of Shikamaru Nara, the Jōnin Commander of Konoha and a shinobi of great repute. To this day, Shikamaru continues to be Arano's mentor and friend. Arano looks up to his former sensei and holds him in the highest regard as a ninja and as a person. Also, he is a good friend of Ishiki Sarutobi. Arano is the protagonist of the storyline, Naruto: Chronicles of a Shinobi.
Background[]
"Such talent, it's as if the heavens smiled upon you at birth. A butcher's boy with talent like yours in the ninja arts? Your father must be proud and confused at the same time. You are a fascinating kid, Arano-kun. " |
Academy Days[]
Genin Years[]
Appearance[]
Arano
Contrary to Arano's mellow disposition, his appearance is one that is rather striking. His sister sums him up as a guy you can't miss when walking by him. Also, he is noted to be the type of person whose appearance and personality clash in a comical way. Among young women his age, and even some a bit older and younger then him, Arano is recognized to be rather handsome. As a boy, he had many female "fans" in the academy. His normally calm expression is one that radiates confidence, inner peace, and strength. Arano is somewhat pale young man with his trademark long, spiky, dark blue hair that is normally worn in a ponytail. Some joke that his hair is more like a Lion's mane if anything. He is tall for his age, standing at a whopping 6 foot flat. Arano has somewhat piercing yellow, which is something he shares with his friend, Ishiki. He has a moderately athletic physique with some muscle here and there but an overall lean build.
Normally, unlike many that he knows, Arano enjoys wearing his standard shinobi uniform. However, he does add a few of his own tweaks. Wrapped around the forearm area of each of his black sleeves are two white bands. Along with that, he wears black bandages wrapped around the arms of his sleeves. It of Arano's opinion that the standard uniform, flak jacket and all are very comfortable. Amusingly enough, one of the reasons Arano was so happy about when he passed his Chunin exam was because he would get to wear the flak jacket that he found rather cool looking; to this day still does.
On the occasion that he decides to be more casual, his taste gets an injection of color per se. He wears a green and white short sleeved vest like top, left open, over a fitted black, long sleeved shirt with red lining around the neck and chest area where the shirt opens. The shirt's sleeves always have built in gloves, however, they are not conventional gloves but are like tekkou that expose the fingers. Along with that, Arano sports baggy pants with long black socks and old style ninja sandals. Around his waste is a thin, ropy blue belt and white sash. Also, when training he only wears pants, socks, and shoes since he finds any sort of top bothersome when trying to hone his skills.
Personality[]
"There aren't many things in the world that can get the rise out of me, at least, not that I know of. But, among those few things are my sister, Ishiki, and annoying people. Actually, might as well just say annoying people. " |
Always calm.
Level headed and all around mellow, Arano is noted to be a rather calm person. In day to day situations, he likes to keep a peaceful state of mind, something that is absent in his missions and duties as a Konoha shinobi. Though, in the past, there was a point in his childhood where his then bad attitude and overly serious disposition plagued his behavior. Arano considers this a troublesome part of his childhood, and still not too sure as to why he acted like that. But this all changed after a serious "talking to" by his father one night on top of the Hokage Monument, which also saved him from his mother's wrath, more specifically, her belt. Arano is usually seen with a relaxed expression on his face and is not easily angered by anyone save for a few key individuals in his life. As a result, he is very well liked young man, especially around where his parents reside, which is also his place of residence.
Arano does not consider himself skilled in the "art of small talk". Earlier in his years, sometimes people who would think of him to have the tendency to be a loner at times. However, when asked about this by his sensei, his quickly replied "It's not that I don't want to talk to some people, it's just we'd have nothing to talk about". He doesn't care to make conservation on trivial things as it bores him and is wholly awkward to him. Yet, when the conservation is of a higher level such as politics, ethics, etc, he chimes in very quickly and becomes a dynamic person to talk with. He is in no way shy and, in fact, has exceptionally public speaking skills; neither is he not friendly. Though there are some people that are an exception to this rule, that even when there isn't much to talk about, he loves chatting with them anyway. Among these people are his mentor, Shikamaru, and Ishiki. Overall, loves to debate about important topics and ideas with other people; considers it a hobby of his. As a result, Arano has a reputation as a very articulate and staunch debater among his peers. Though, it's important to note that Arano has made a good deal of friends, both in Konoha and in other lands.
Ever since his childhood, Arano has always been known to be a clever and very perceptive individual. Behind his piercing yellow eyes is an analytical mind that is quick to adapt and deal with any strenuous situation. For this reason beyond all others, his mentor, Shikamaru, saw Arano as a talent with frightening potential. While his physical capabilities were impressive without question, his mind was also one of his greatest weapons even early on. In any battle, Arano always takes anything of value into account. From his opponent's quirks to changes in mood or mentality. To him, one can read their opponents next moves based on their state-of-mind and habits. Also, he places a high importance on a ninja's analytical prowess. As a result of this, Shikamaru was grateful someone like Arano was placed under him since he himself is a man of tremendous intellectual prowess, far more so then his former student.
One of Arano's major hobbies is reading. From fantasy to historical texts, he has always enjoyed reading. Due to this, his hunger to learn about all types of ninjutsu was born after becoming a genin. As he was aware that shinobi, save for those with special bloodlines, were limited in the variety of elemental jutsu they could learn, he studied up on all of them for the sake of knowledge. To him, becoming knowledgeable of jutsu he could not perform seemed like an asset and more importantly an enlightening experience. In his early teens, Arano could be found in the library at times reading throw scrolls on different types of techniques. His elder sister, Ai, would tease him for this at times for her own personal amusement.
Even in his younger years, Arano has always had difficulty showing mercy to his enemies, and in his childhood, people who simply did him wrong. As a child, whenever another child would ridicule a friend of his or on the rare occasion mess with Arano himself, he would beat that child to a pulp each and every time due to his sense of loyalty and love for his friends and his hate for people that dare to think less of him. This uncharacteristically wild and unrestrained part of him worried his parents in his early years. Whenever things got personal, he had issues being calm. Today, he still struggles being merciful to enemies regardless of how much of a threat they pose. For him, it is better to kill anyone who raises a kunai against him then let them live. He believes the risk being taken in showing mercy is very much lacking in efficiency. Even though his former sensei has confronted him on this issue on more then one occasion, he still somewhat struggles with this problem. As Arano once put it, everyone has their own demons to face.

Abilities[]

He is widely recognized as the most talented person among his generation. Tough, intelligent, and focused, Arano has been cited as an "all rounder" of a shinobi, that is, that he excels in many of the areas of the shinobi arts. However, on more then one occassion, he has professed his dislike for Genjutsu, as the art of illusions doesn't appeal to him and he has never done well with it. Also, Arano is very skilled in use of shinobi weaponry, as he can use shuriken and kunai with nigh pinpoint accuracy. It's important to note that he is a very knowledgable person for his age, being well versed on a large variety of shinobi techniques and even those of the Samurai.
Nature Transformation[]
Arano is proficient in the use of both Fire and Lightning Release techniques. Of the two, Arano excels in the use of Fire Release the most, moreover, he has always had a certain affinity for the aforementioned. In combat, he can easily use higher level Fire jutsu in rather quick succession against an enemy. Also, within his arsenal of Fire Release techniques, he has went out of his way to diversify his options with Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning. Arano's skill with Lightning Release techniques is exceptional, and he uses said techniques to their fullest potential as such as when he combines Lightning Release: Wave of Inspiration with one of Ishiki's Water Release techniques.
Aside from this, he has impressive skill in the area of chakra flow, so much so that he can flow lightning-natured chakra through a weapon to increase its' cutting power. Also, Arano's chakra control has been noted to very good by his sensei in the past.
Intelligence[]
From a young age, Arano was noted to be an intuitive and resourceful individual. His exceptional talent put him head and shoulders above his fellow classmates, even the other talented children, as he excelled in all exercises and received top marks. Shikamaru, his former sensei and mentor, once said even as a genin, Arano could assess a situation and develop different avenues to victory off the top of his head. This tactical prowess was akin to that of Shikamaru, though to a lesser extent overall. In combat, Arano can easily devise plans with those around him to set up crushing attacks to defeat the enemy. For example, Arano enjoys fighting in unison with Ishiki as they combine their Lightning and Water jutsu together, something that he suggested on their first mission together in the midst of combat.
Aside from shinobi related situations, he is exceptionally knowledgeable on a host of complex topics and can easily articulate his thoughts on the aforementioned. For him, conversation of a higher level is necessary, vital, and altogether enlightening. An old family friend once referred to Arano as a "young man of ferocious intellect".
