Kurosuki Raiga

by Коринмо Изаши Вто Ное 10, 2009 1:23 pm

While he was still loyal to Kirigakure, Raiga met Ranmaru,
a disabled boy who came to act as additional eyes and ears for Raiga in
exchange for being carried upon his back. Ranmaru would become the only
person Raiga cared about, despite Ranmaru's pacifist nature and Raiga's
love for battle. After his defection Raiga enslaved a town and forced
its villagers to work in its mines, also assembling some followers
(including Karashi) to form the Kurosuki Family.
Besides him, his followers wore a hooded robe, gloves that sprout claws
from the back of the hand, and enforced his laws. Should a law of his
be broken, that person would end up being buried alive.

Curry of Life arc

When Raiga tried to bury Rokusuke, his group ran afoul of Naruto Uzumaki, Rock Lee, Neji Hyuga, and Tenten. He later engaged them using the Hidden Mist Technique while Ranmaru negated Neji's Byakugan. While unconscious from one of Raiga's attacks, Lee manages to fight him off despite this. When Naruto asks if he knows Zabuza Momochi and Kisame Hoshigaki, Raiga stated that he hated those two, along with the rest of the seven sword members. Naruto then manages to hit him with his Rasengan, causing him to fall from a cliff and be left unconscious.

When Karashi brought Ranmaru to where Raiga's body was, his
energy awakened Raiga, who thought Ranmaru died trying to revive him.
When Tenten arrived, she fought Raiga but was defeated. Raiga then had
Karashi lure Naruto, Lee, and Neji to where he is. Raiga manages to
trump the three until the curry Tenten and Karashi fed them enabled
them to be able to fight him again. When Ranmaru acts on his beliefs
and tries to convince Raiga to stop fighting, Raiga feels betrayed.
Upon being knocked off a cliff by Naruto, Raiga kills himself in midair
with one of his own bolts of lightning, but not before saying "Ranmaru, you're free now",
presumably stating that he now believe that Ranmaru can live on, now
that he has friends and that he can live a life without fear or
loneliness.

Abilities

Lightning-user and a Sword-user, Raiga was a out of control battler, preferring more distant attacks with is Lightning Fangs, along with a strong taijutsu skill.

Weapon Skills

As one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Raiga wielded two spiked swords, known as the Lightning Fangs,
that he used in a similar manner to lightning rods to attract and
channel lightning and electricity. He can connect them at their hilts
to form a larger double-bladed sword, effectively increasing the
weapon's size and allowing him to perform different and more powerful blade-wielding abilities.

Lightning Release

Using Lightning Fangs,
Raiga could use powerful lightning abilities of long distances more
easily than normal lightnings jutsu, that take time to occur. He could
also use Nature lightning as a power source, and so long as he had
access to it, he could battle continuously without feeling tired.
