Tori Hitonomi [Finished]

Name: Tori
Middle: Shoka
Surname: Hitonomi
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual

Overall Appearance: Tori Hitonomi wears a scarlet cloth around his head that covers the lower part of his face, hiding his face from the cheekbones down to his neck. Underneath this mask are a rather hideous set of ten scars that start at the cheekbones and go down all the way to his jawline, five for each cheek. His skin tone is fairly white, with very little tanning. Other than his scars, Tori's skin is mostly unmarred. His eyes are sky blue, and his hair is short, jet-black, and spiked in every direction. His cheeks are gaunt, and his temples are hollow, making him appear almost phantom-like. His eyebrows are very thin and the same color as his hair.

In addition to the cloth covering the lower half of Tori's face, he also wears a scarlet robe that is normally fastened up to hide Tori's fairly weak body. The scarlet robe also has a large Kirigakure symbol on the back in white, to make the symbol of his allegiance more obvious. The cloth covering Tori's face bears the actual Kirigakure forehead protector over his mouth. Under the scarlet robe, Tori wears a typical black undershirt on his torso and scarlet red leggings that cover his legs entirely. On his feet, Tori wears plain black ninja shoes. At about waist-level at Tori's hips are two vertically placed scrolls, both of them about a foot long and three inches thick, and a third one across his back at waist level, placed horizontally, that is about a foot thick and three feet long. These are meant to hold his puppets.
Overall Persona: Tori Hitonomi is extremely anti-social, especially around women. He is particularly scared of women with long nails, and generally freezes up in complete terror at the first sight of one. He also does not get along well with most men, and he becomes fairly nervous in the presence of medic nin, as he associates pain with their healing palm jutsu.

In battle, Tori generally tries to stay as far away from the opponent as possible and lets his puppets do all the fighting. If cornered without his puppets, however, Tori will almost certainly give up fighting the opponent and will instead surrender in order to keep his life. Despite sticking to this strategy often, he will occasionally deviate from this in order to get the upper hand on his opponent.

On a mission, Tori is by himself, for the most part. He is also cowardly, however, and will often feel the need to quit if he realizes that the mission might be very difficult. The Raiage would likely feel very annoyed at this behavior, but Tori would rather deal with an angry Raiage than a deadly enemy ninja. Tori might even abandon his own teammates and the mission altogether in order to escape safely, making him quite a liability.
Fears: Tori's greatest fears include women with long fingernails, but he is also fairly nervous around medical ninja and women in general. When being confronted with a situation where he must fight or engage someone with any of these qualities, Tori will either attempt to escape or hide from the problem. Rarely does Tori attempt to confront them, and then only if there is no possible escape route.
Likes: Tori Hitonomi enjoys working on his puppets, as his mind is geared more towards mechanisms and gadgetry than human interaction. If he remembers to eat, Tori enjoys eating sashimi and boiled rice with soy sauce the most. He also likes rainy weather.
Dislikes: Tori greatly dislikes long periods of human interaction, and can usually only stand about ten minutes before he becomes antsy, and even less time if the person he is talking with is a woman. His least favorite foods are grilled, as he is rather annoyed at the length of time it takes to prepare, much less cook the food. He also dislikes particularly hot weather, and is likely to complain if he's forced to go outside when the weather is humid or warm.
Catch Phrase: Now my fear will be your own!

Name: Hitonomi
Clan Type: Shinobi
Kekkei Genkai: N/A
Clan Element: N/A
Clan History: The Hitonomi Clan was formed in the early years of Kirigakure. The Clan is not fairly well-known, due to not having a powerful kekkei genkai or any clan techniques that have been passed down. In essence, this clan was started as an alternative to an orphanage in Kirigakure, allowing ninja to hail from a clan, even if their original clan cast them out.
This is because the Clan normally adopts orphans and allows them to learn whatever specialization they feel drawn to, creating a very diverse group of individuals. Occasionally, though, two members of the Clan do conceive a child, but they normally still allow the ninja to learn any specialization they feel inclined to learn without teaching them any techniques, unless their specialization falls into one of the parents' fields.
In recent times, the Hitonomi Clan has not changed its philosophy or its ideals, and is very much the same as it was when it was formed.

N/A

Non-Elemental Jutsu[s]

Tsuibi Shuriken (Chasing Shuriken)
Rank: D
Element: N/A
Range: 20 feet
Type: Fuuinjutsu
Description: This fuuinjutsu technique can create only two seals. One is marked as "lead" and the other is marked as "follow". The seal marked "follow" is attached to a throwing weapon, and the one marked "lead" must be physically placed on the opponent. When the lead tag is activated, the follow tag is also activated, and the weapon with the follow tag is drawn towards the lead tag. The shuriken can only change direction up to 45 degrees, meaning that if the opponent makes a turn sharper than that, the tags will deactivate, ending the jutsu.

Rokuonki Fuuin (Audio Recording Seal)
Rank: D
Element: N/A
Range: Within earshot
Type: Fuuinjutsu
Description: This fuuinjutsu creates a seal that can record voices and sounds. This is mostly used for espionage and gathering information. When activated for the first time by a small amount of chakra, the seal will record up to three posts of conversation before running out of room. When activated a second time, the fuuinjutsu will replay the conversation, and can be rewound, forwarded, and paused by pressing different sections of the seal.

Chakra Tessaku (Chakra Wire Rope)
Rank: D
Element: N/A
Range: 5 feet
Type: Puppetry
Description: The user must be a puppeteer to use this jutsu, and they must not have a puppet connected to their ninja wires. After disconnecting from the puppet, the chakra wires are braided together to become a pair of extremely thick chakra wires at the end of each hand that can be used as whips. The wires can wrap around things, making them useful to trip opponents, but otherwise only make cuts that are skin-deep if the opponent is hit by them directly.

Kugutsu no Jutsu (Puppet Technique)
Rank: C
Element: N/A
Range: Within range of puppet strings.
Type: Puppetry
Description:The Puppet Technique is a unique ninjutsu fighting style; this technique uses chakra threads to control puppets like marionettes. Any number of chakra threads can be used to control a puppet, but users with more skill can use fewer strings per puppet. Both Chiyo and Sasori demonstrated the ability to control entire puppets perfectly using just one thread. While most puppeteers (傀儡使い, kugutsutsukai) would normally be able to control ten puppets at most (one per finger), Sasori's self-modification allowed him to control up to one hundred puppets at a time.
This technique has few weaknesses: according to Shino Aburame's observations during his fight against Kankurō, the Puppet Technique is a long range style, meaning that the puppeteers are weak against close range fighters. Since most puppeteer use his or her hands to manipulate the puppets, if their hands are disabled, then the technique can be neutralised. And because the puppet's movements are based on the mechanisms that were installed inside, interfering with said mechanisms can stall the puppet entirely.

Doshokuhigi: Boshi Shinboku (Bronze Secret Technique: Mother and Child's Reunion)
Rank: C
Element: N/A
Range: Within range of puppet strings.
Type: Puppetry
Description: Requires the use of puppets Ai and Nikusa. First, both puppets must be on either side of the target. Both of their arms extend, then they grasp each other's hands, trapping the opponent from horizontal escape. The two puppets then activate the motors in their backs that pulls their arms back in. This causes the two puppets to rush at the opponent, usually with the intent of crushing the target between their bodies.

Doshokuhigi: Meoto Iinaka (Bronze Secret Technique: Husband and Wife Loving Each Other)
Rank: C
Element: N/A
Range: Within range of puppet strings.
Type: Puppetry
Description: This puppet technique requires the use of both Ai and Fundo. The two hold each others hands, then activate their arm chainsaws at the same time as they rush at the opponent. Because chainsaw blades rip at high velocity instead of cutting, the power of their rush hitting the opponent is redirected into a motion that allows the two puppets to wrap their arms around the opponent in a tight hug, using their chainsaw arms to cut the opponent at the same time.

Doshokuhigi: Fushi Marinage (Bronze Secret Technique: Father and Son Playing Catch)
Rank: C
Element: N/A
Range: Within range of puppet strings.
Type: Puppetry
Description:This puppetry technique requires the use of both Nikusa and Fundo. The large first holds the much smaller puppet in his arms and sprays the special mist to create a large smokescreen. The smaller puppet then tackles the opponent from every possible angle, using the smokescreen to hide its movements.

Jutsu Name: Doshokuhigi: Kado no Kugutsu (Bronze Secret Technique: Puppet Vortex)
Rank: C
Element: N/A
Range: Within reach of puppet strings.
Type: Puppetry
Description: This jutsu requires at least three puppets, controlled by a single user. All three puppets spin around the opponent at a fast enough rate to create a vortex, causing outgoing attacks to be thrown off-course by the powerful force of the spinning wind. This jutsu can be stopped prematurely if the opponent manages to break one of the puppets or by attacking the puppeteer.

Jutsu Name: Doshokuhigi: Kagairensei no Onna (Bronze Secret Technique: Woman's Drilling Strike)
Rank: C
Element: N/A
Range: Within reach of puppet strings.
Type: Puppetry
Description: This technique requires the use of Ai. First, Ai uses its leg propulsion system to launch itself at the opponent in a spinning motion. At the same time, it brings its hands above its head with the sharp metal nails pointed directly at the opponent. Ai then attempts to drill into the opponent using its nails. Because of the senbon laced in its long hair, even if the attack down not hit directly, the hair can still cause painful scratches on the opponent's skin.

Meimei Hantaisha (Invisible Attacker)
Rank: C
Element: N/A
Range: 20 feet
Type: Fuuinjutsu
Description: This fuuinjutsu creates a pair of tags, about the size of the palm of the user's hand, with the single kanji for "blade" on it. The fuuinjutsu seals can hold a single small projectile (kunai, small shuriken, senbon) that, when activated via timed release or proximity, release that projectile at about thirty miles per hour. The projectile weapon will be launched in a perpendicular angle from where it rests (essentially, if the seal is pointing up from the ground and is activated, the seal will shoot directly upwards from its center). The seal can be activated by an object as far as five feet away via chakra signature, but the kunai can travel as far as 20 feet before becoming too weak to do any damage.

Taryometsuki Fuuin (Many Eyes Seal)
Rank: B
Element: N/A
Range: 20 feet
Type: Fuuinjutsu
Description: This fuuinjutsu technique allows three seals to be made; two labelled "eyes" and one labelled "brain". The two seals with the "eyes" kanji can be placed on any solid object, but are not activated until the third kanji is placed on the user's forehead. Upon activation, the user can see what is happening at the location of the two seals simultaneously, up to 20 feet, as though they were standing at that location (but unable to turn their heads or turn around, so it is not omni-directional, but single-directional). Because the user is having to focus on seeing three different types of scenery at the same time, no more than two of these eye seals may be used at the same time, or the user will be given incredibly huge headaches from sensory overload. If the user is more than 20 feet away from the seals, they can no longer connect to one another, and the eye seal is rendered useless. Reaction time is clearly less than normal (while the jutsu is activated, the user MUST dodge far less than normal. If a mod that is not in the topic does not find the difference to their satisfaction, an edit must be made).

Doshokuhigi: Kazoku Kiki Kataki (Bronze Secret Technique: The Family that Destroys Enemies)
Rank: B
Element: N/A
Range: 20 feet
Type: Puppetry
Description: This puppetry technique requires the use of all three puppets: Nikusa, Ai, and Fundo. First, Nikusa must be inside of Ai's torso. Fundo creates a large smokescreen of flammable gas, and Ai extends her arms to trap the opponent before she pulls herself closer to him while Nikusa opens the chest compartment and activates his flamethrower. The resulting burning cloud is usually enough to leave no trace of a person.

Inabikari Fuuin (Lightning Flash Seal)
Rank: B
Element: N/A
Range: Any
Type: Fuuinjutsu
Description: This fuuinjutsu requires an entire topic to prepare. First, the fuuinjutsu is placed in a sunny place and allowed to gather up sunlight. After enough sunlight is captured by the seal, it can be activated to cause an incredibly bright light and a great deal of heat to be released. The seal can even cause sunburn at night and can blind anyone who looks directly at the seal.

Tsuminaosu Fuuin (Reload Seal)
Rank: B
Element: N/A
Range: N/A
Type: Fuuinjutsu
Description: A seal is first filled with ammunition, whether it be projectile weapons, flammable liquid or gas, or any other form of ammunition. The seal is activated by pure chakra, and can only hold enough to fully refill the ammunition container once. The seal must be filled in a topic separate from the topic in which the seal is activated before it can be used.

Chakra Kanaami Jinkei (Chakra Wire Web Formation)
Rank: B
Element: N/A
Range: 5 feet
Type: Puppetry
Description: The user must be a puppeteer to use this jutsu, and they must not have a puppet connected to their ninja wires. After disconnecting from the puppet, the chakra wires can be attached to kunai, but only up to ten. The chakra wires are then controlled to become similar in form to a net. Because the ends of the chakra wires are weighed down by kunai, the chakra wires can be allowed to fall from above and trap an opponent if they are caught unawares.

Doshokuhigi: Kazoku Dengeki (Bronze Secret Technique: Family Blitz)
Rank: A
Element: N/A
Range: 400 feet
Type: Puppetry
Description: This puppetry combo first requires that Nikusa, Ai, and Fundo be used in conjunction with one another. First, Fundo holds Ai over its head, while Ai has Nikusa in its arms, as though embracing a child. Fundo then extends its arms before throwing Ai in a parabola that should lead the duo to the opponent. Once the trajectory begins its descent, Ai will activate its leg boosters, increasing their speed further while extending its arms. At the last moment, Ai will reconnect its arms as it releases Nikusa, causing it to launch directly at the opponent. Due to the intense speed of this maneuver, Nikusa is extremely difficult to dodge, and can leave behind a ten-foot diameter crater where it lands.

Chakra Tetsujomo (Chakra Barbed Wire Entanglements)
Rank: A
Element: N/A
Range: 5 feet
Type: Puppetry
Description: The user must be a puppeteer to use this jutsu, and they must not have a puppet connected to their ninja wires. After disconnecting from the puppet, the chakra wires are braided together to become a pair of extremely thick chakra wires at the end of each hand that can be used as whips. Unlike the parent jutsu, this particular type of chakra wire has small barbs covering the outside that cannot be seen by the naked eye, except by those with special doujutsu (Sharingan and Byakugan, for example). These barbs can cut the skin, and can even be extended up to three inches after connecting with the opponent. This makes the jutsu quite formidable and extremely painful.

W E A P O N

Name: Ai
Rank: C
Fused Element: N/A
Description: At first glance, Ai may appear to be a human woman with a rather large, pregnant stomach. The puppet is, however, almost entirely made of wood. Although her face is emotionless, she appears to be wearing quite a large amount of make-up. Her black hair reaches down down to the middle of her back. Her body is covered by a kimono with a rather plain pattern, along with a shawl. The chest is augmented with inflatable pieces to make her appear to be more "feminine". Her feet are bare and she stands at 5'8".

Weapons:

- Arms: The puppet's arms are outfitted with rotating blades along all three straight sections. Each blade is about three inches long and rotates along each section in a similar motion to that of a chainsaw. Its fingers are each tipped with six-inch long metal fingernails that are capable of piercing flesh.
- Legs: The puppet's legs are mostly hollow, and when fully extended, a small pair of air cannons can be activated, propelling the puppet at a high rate of speed momentarily. As a weapon, the air cannons are fairly weak, possibly causing bruises to the opponent if they are hit directly.
- Torso: The torso is almost entirely hollow. It has no weapons, but it can open up rather easily, making it improbable as a method of trapping a foe. The interior is lined with heat-resistant metal. At the rear of the torso is a special set of pulleys that control the wires connecting the limbs of the puppet. The puppets limbs can be disconnected from the torso, connected only by a small thread of ninja wire. This can make it quite difficult to fully destroy the puppet.
- Head: The puppet's hair has small senbon needles hidden among the wig of horse hair, turning the hair into less of a liability by making it impossible to grab onto. In addition, her mouth compartment holds a small senbon launcher, with only five senbon inside which can be released in quick succession or all at once for a surprise attack.

Origin: This was Tori Hitonomi's last puppet, it's appearance is based on his ex-teammate that he believed to have killed. Originally, it was only a practice puppet given to him at the Academy, but he has since modified it twice in order to make it look the way it does now.

Name: Nikusa
Rank: C
Fused Element: N/A
Description: The puppet looks almost exactly like an infant child, save that it is almost entirely made of metal. This is to keep the puppet from being harmed by the fire that it is designed to expel from its mouth, which can open to about a foot. The puppet is about 25 inches tall (about two feet).

Weapons:

- Arms: The baby's arms are small, but can disconnect from each joint to extend as far as six feet, connected by several braided strands of metal wire, making it quite strong as a kind of rope.
- Legs: The baby's legs are small and have the same connecting wires as the arms.
- Torso: The torso of the baby is entirely hollow, and the interior is lined with heat-resistant metal. The metal pipe from the head runs down into a special oil-filled jar tilted so that the opening of the jar is pointed straight down with its lid keeping the pipe and the jar from connecting. Near the back of the torso is a special set of pulleys that control the wires in the puppet's arms and legs.
- Head: The head is outfitted with an almost entirely metal tube that runs all the way into its torso. The neck also has smaller tubes that are designed to suck in air. The nose also expels a tiny spark by striking two bits of metal against each other.

Origin: Tori Hitonomi created Nikusa after killing his first teammate and believing that he had killed his other teammate. He had made his second puppet as a way to make his first puppet more effective, but found that this all-metal puppet was extremely heavy and difficult to control, despite its increased heat and damage resistance.

Name: Fundo
Rank: C
Fused Element: N/A
Description: At first glance, Fundo may appear to be a human man, albeit a fairly tall man. The puppet is, however, almost entirely made of wood. His face is emotionless and his short black hair is spiked in a similar style to Tori Hitonomi's hair. His body is covered by a kimono with a rather plain pattern. He wears a pair of wooden sandals that make him appear even taller than he is, and he stands at a height of 6'2" without the wooden sandals.

Weapons:

- Arms: Fundo's arms, unlike the other two puppets, are not extendable, but he does have chainsaw arms similar to Ai's. He does not, however, share her long fingernails. Instead, his arms contain a set of pipes with an opening in the palms. When the arms are fully extended and collapsed to connect the pipes, the chainsaw arms are automatically shut off to keep them from destroying the pipes.
- Legs: Fundo's legs can bend at the knee far enough that the thighs and shins are touching, and a three-foot long blade can extend out of the knees only in this position.
- Torso: Although the male puppet does not have similar extendable arms like the other two puppets, his torso does have a special mechanism inside that can combine a flammable gas and a smokescreen that can then be expelled via the arm and mouth pipes. If the puppet runs out of flammable gas, it also has a second compartment holding kunai, allowing the puppet to launch kunai as well.
- Head: The male puppet can open its mouth to reveal a pipe much like the ones in its arms, allowing it to expel flammable gas and smokescreens or launching kunai.

Origin: Fundo is Tori Hitonomi's second puppet, meant to be the match for Ai and the father of Nikusa. Tori still isn't sure if the puppet represents himself or his male teammate.

Birth Date: Summer/25
Home Village/Current: Kirigakure
Parents: Wakadori Hitonomi (Alive) and Gacho Hitonomi (Alive)
Siblings: N/A
Sensei / Role Model: N/A
History: Birth and Childhood Arc: Tori was born from two retired Kirigakure ninja who were mostly unknown to the world outside of Kirigakure. Within the village, they were normally held in high regard, and they managed to reach the rank of Special Jounin before they had retired. Due to this fair amount of anonymity, the two had managed to retire from service without dying first.
Tori himself was born during a monsoon. While some people have thought this was an omen of some sort, Tori had a normal childhood. He lived with his parents and played ninja with the other children, just like everyone else. Although the other children occasionally poked fun at Tori's older parents, the young boy would laugh with the rest of them.

Academy Arc: After a few years of just playing at being ninja, Tori became curious about what it would be like to be an actual ninja. And so Tori joined the Kirigakure Academy. Although the young boy didn't do well in most of the tests, he did show himself to have a bit of a knack for puppetry, as shown when he managed to take momentary control of one of the training dummies just long enough to make it fall over. Upon this discovery, Tori's academy teacher had pushed the young boy harder to train puppetry and to become better at that particular ninja art. Although it took Tori a little longer than most due to puppetry seeming to be his only known talent, the young boy did manage to graduate, albeit near the bottom of his grade.

Genin Arc: Soon after Tori was given his genin rank, he upgraded his puppet to more closely resemble his mother and to hold more weapons. He was also put into a squad of two genin and a jounin teacher, like most other genin. Though Tori did not grow close to either the jounin teacher nor the other male genin teammate, he did find that he enjoyed the companion of the kunoichi. The two would often train with each other late into the night, and Tori found her to be a very talented ninja. He was also intrigued to learn that she was almost as naturally curious as he was, though she was more cautious, which Tori often teased her about in a playful manner. As the two genin spent more time together, Tori found himself falling for the kunoichi, completely oblivious to the fact that the girl was already in an arranged marriage with the other male genin. This led to a rift in the team that would never be breached. Regardless, the jounin eventually entered all three genin in his team in the Chuunin Exams, hoping that the difficult tests would force the three to work together.

Instead, the rift only worsened, especially when Tori was forced to fight the other male genin in the final test of the Chuunin Exams. Showing no remorse, Tori defeated and killed his own teammate despite the attempt by the jounin teacher to halt the unnecessary killing, but he had not made it in time to save the young boy. It wasn't until after the bout that the kunoichi told him about the arranged marriage and how the girl had loved the now-dead genin. This sudden confession of love the kunoichi held for the other young boy caused Tori to become enraged, and in his grief and anger, Tori attacked the kunoichi without thinking. This was when the genin found out that the kunoichi had secretly been training a forbidden jutsu that could make her long nails that Tori had so often admired become as sharp as knives, and that the wounds made by these nails would become extremely difficult to heal. Although the kunoichi had given Tori a set of scars that would forever mark him a traitor, the genin believed that he had managed to kill her with his puppet, using a blade stabbed through her neck. What Tori did not know was that he had only caused her to pass out by striking a specific set of nerves. Unbeknownst to him, the kunoichi had been healed by the medic team and almost immediately left the village to become a rogue ninja.

Despite the fact that he had supposedly killed both of his teammates, Tori went unpunished. It was ruled that when Tori killed his kunoichi teammate, it had been in self-defense. With no witnesses able to testify against Tori's lies about the kunoichi attacking first, the genin was guiltless in the eyes of the law. Tori, however, feels a great deal of remorse for killing the girl he loved. In addition, the genin was not only physically scarred, but also mentally scarred by the event, and has since had a great fear of women, especially those with long fingernails, and the Chuunin Exams themselves.

Although he had managed to kill his teammate, the other boy had shown more courage and willpower, and Tori Hitonomi had not been chosen among those who became Chuunin. After this final crushing blow, he further changes his puppet to resemble his former kunoichi teammate, as he still believed her to be dead from the stab to her neck, and he would talk to the puppet much like he had once talked to his female teammate.

Chuunin Arc: Although the jounin teacher tried to become Tori's friend, the chuunin had become less and less sociable, responding only with low grunts due to his cheeks having been gashed by the kunoichi's nails. He had also buried himself in creating his own puppets, machinations fueled by his nightmares of women with long nails and a genin male whose face was increasingly changing to that of a demon's, forever taunting the chuunin.

After a few years of failed attempts by the jounin teacher to connect with the growing chuunin, the sensei eventually gave up on ever calling the boy his student again, although he did manage to hire a male med-nin to care for the boy's wounds when the chuunin could be pulled away from his horribly monstrous creations.

Jounin Arc: Although it takes a couple of years in his secluded home, Tori eventually returns to the world of ninja with new puppets. Although Tori is clearly very nervous about being with other people during missions, the Chuunin tries his best to overcome his fears and to face the opponents he meets, although he still avoids women and most men because of his past. The Raiage at the time sees this and marks the progress of the emotional wreck that was still filled with guilt.

During a mission to retrieve an important scroll with valuable information regarding another village's new kinjutsu techniques, one of the Chuunin's new teammates falls victim to an enemy kunoichi. Despite Tori's extreme dread about facing a female fighter, the puppetry ninja is the only person who can stop and help the teammate, as the other member of the team already had the scroll, and time was now extremely important because the enemy likely knew what information was now missing. Tori is found almost immediately by the enemy kunoichi, as she had apparently fought against a puppeteer before.

As she stood over him, ready to deliver the final deadly blow against the puppeteer, Tori Hitonomi finally recognizes the enemy kunoichi as the teammate he had once loved and thought that he had killed. She even had a pair of scars on the sides of her neck where the blade that should have killed her had gone through. Luckily, the time the kunoichi had spent taunting Tori with his failed attempt at killing her had allowed Tori's teammate to free himself just in time to run a blade through her neck in the same spot that Tori had once tried to kill her with. Instead of leaving it there, however, the teammate twists and turns the blade until the kunoichi's head comes off, making sure that she would never come back again.

Upon returning to Kirigakure, Tori and his teammates were chosen to become Jounin for their great help in recovering the important scroll.
