Asuma SARUTOBI

Asuma is the son of the Third Hokage and uncle to Konohamaru. He is a jounin shinobi who leads Shikamaru, Chouji and Ino in Team Asuma. Asuma is generally quite laid back and gets on well with all of his students, but spends a lot of time with Shikamaru in particular; the pair often plays shogi together, though Asuma has never beaten him in a game. In battle Asuma tends to use a combination of taijutsu and chakra infused blades.
