Shira

is a genin of Sunagakure and a team-mate of Sen and Yome.

Appearance
Shira has spiky grey hair and a relatively fit physique. He has a number of scars on his face and body, including one running vertically across his throat, and he also have what appears to be a tattoo of a snake on his right shoulder. His attire consists of a long sleeveless, dark green shirt which he ties with a light green sash, grey pants and black arm braces. His forehead protector is attached to the bottom of his shirt and he wears bandages on his right biceps. Shira also sports a small amber tomoe necklace.

Abilities
Since he has no talent for both genjutsu and ninjutsu, Shira's fighting style resolves only around taijutsu. Because of that, he is highly skilled in it, seen when he was able to easily block one of Lee's kicks with one hand, much to the latter's surprise. He is also very observant and intelligent, elaborately deducing his enemies' strength after seeing them fight only once. Shira possesses a great amount of physical strength, able to send an opponent flying with a single kick and steady his body as an effective defence against other attacks. Shira could also deflect all Sixty- Four strikes from Neji Hyūga's Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms.

In Naruto's Footsteps: The Friends' Paths
Shortly after Gaara was made Fifth Kazekage, Shira's team went to join in the early Chūnin Exams co-sponsored by Sunagakure and Konohagakure. For the first exam, the teams were all split up to take the written test in separate rooms, with him being placed in room one. Shikamaru Nara, as proctor, explained that everyone only needs to answer one question on the test, but their combined score with their team-mates will determine if they pass or fail the exam as they need exactly 100 points to pass. His team was able to qualify for the second round. However, a preliminary round had to be held to lessen the many participants there were. The preliminary round involved a race to Sunagakure with only the first 30 teams qualifying for the primary second round. Shira and his team were of the 30 teams to make it. That night, when the genin got into a brawl during dinner, he was able to easily stop a direct attack from Rock Lee. Eventually, everyone lost their desire to fight due to Fū arriving with her optimistic ways. Afterwards, he was confronted by Lee, who deemed him as a worthy shinobi after their brief altercation. The next day, the second exam proctor, Temari, announced the start of the second round taken place within Demon Desert.
