Araya (アラヤ) is a shinobi of Sunagakure.
Appearance
Araya has brown hair styled into a spiked ponytail and wears a white and purple Hannya-like mask[2], which has a Suna crest on the forehead, along with purple markings around the eyes, nose and mouth areas. His attire consists of a beige jacket, brown pants and black calf-length shinobi sandals. He also carries a sword on his back, which is mounted to his right shoulder with a latch, allowing him to instantly draw it.[2]
Personality
Araya is quick-witted and composed at all times.[1] However, in the anime, he suffers from stage-fright, not liking too many people watching him. To compensate for that, he masquerades his puppet as himself.
Abilities
Araya is very versatile and crafty, shown by how efficiently he defeated Inojin Yamanaka in the Chūnin Exam finals.
Physical Prowess
Araya is a skilled close-range combat. He has considerable agility and general efficiency in movement. He prefers using his sword in battle, and shows considerable versatility with it, with which he has shown great skill when he used it to easily dismember Tenten's puppets.[3] Taking advantage of its long size, he also makes use its sheathe which houses a spear top, letting him shift tactics into bōjutsu.
Ninjutsu
Puppetry
In the anime, Araya excels in the use of the Puppet Technique, being able to manifest his Chakra Threads from considerable distances, and remain unnoticed. His preferred puppet is a life-like replica of himself, which Araya is able to manipulate with great dexterity, as if he was fighting himself.
New Era
Versus Momoshiki Arc
Main article: Chūnin Exams Arc
While en route to Konohagakure to participate in the Chūnin Exams, Araya expressed his readiness to Gaara and Kankurō when asked if they were ready for the examinations. Following attending the entrance ceremony for the exams with Shinki and Yodo, the team met Team Konohamaru at Lightning Burger. Afterwards, the three raced towards the first exam venue in the time provided in order to not get eliminated. Bypassing all traps and obstacles on their route, the team made it to Exam Venue B without using their jutsu. There, the team participated in a true or false question, which resulted in all competitors falling into a pit that contained a pool of ink. Saved by Shinki's Iron Sand, the team passed the first round of the Chūnin Exams.
Three days later, for the second round of the exams, Araya's team competed in a game of capture the flag against Team 5. Upon Shinki capturing the enemies flag, the team proceeded to the next round. In the third round, he was matched against Inojin, whom he effortlessly defeated. In the anime, during the semi-finals, Araya faced off against Sarada Uchiha. Exploiting a loophole in the rules of the tournament, Araya secretly put his puppet in place of him while he controlled it from afar. While initially repelling all of Sarada's attacks with ease and quickly cornering her, she soon realised through her Sharingan the Araya she was fighting was a fake, using her Lightning Ball to expose him. Now flustered at so many people watching him, Araya's focus was ruined, letting Sarada easily defeat the puppet, and as a stand-in for the match, eliminated Araya.
