Swordsmanship
A quick, capable blade in the Hidden Cloud's kenjutsu tradition, his main weapon in a fight.
オモイ · 奥瑁
Also known as Worrywart, B's Student
Omoi is a Hidden Cloud chūnin, a student of Killer B, and the calmest panicker in the series. Give him the smallest worry and his mind spins it into a chain of catastrophes ending in ruin — yet when a real crisis hits, he is one of the steadiest heads in the room. A swordsman with a lollipop and a lightning blade.
Omoi is a chūnin of the Hidden Cloud, trained under Killer B alongside his teammate Karui. Where Karui is quick-tempered and blunt, Omoi is measured, polite, and almost always seen with a lollipop in his mouth.
His defining trait is overthinking. A single small worry sets his mind running, and within seconds he has built an elaborate chain of consequences that ends in total disaster — a habit that makes him the comic centre of nearly every scene he is in.
The joke has a serious flip side. Because Omoi has already imagined every way a situation could go wrong, he is rarely caught off guard when one of them does. In a real crisis the panicker becomes the steady one, sword drawn and head clear.
Omoi trains as a Hidden Cloud chūnin under Killer B, the Eight-Tails' jinchūriki, alongside his teammate Karui. The pairing of B's free spirit and Omoi's anxious mind makes for an odd, effective match.
The smallest trigger sends Omoi spiralling — one stray thought becomes a chain of worst-case consequences ending in ruin. It is the source of most of his comedy and, secretly, most of his preparedness.
For all the spirals, Omoi fights cleanly: a quick blade in the Cloud's swordsman tradition, channelling lightning, with the calm of someone who has already pictured how the exchange ends.
Omoi takes part in the Cloud's pursuit of Sasuke, which brings his cell into a strained confrontation with Konoha's Team 7. He keeps his head where others nearly come to blows.
When events turn genuinely dangerous, the chronic worrier proves dependable. Having imagined every disaster, Omoi is the one who stays calm while it actually unfolds.
In the Fourth Shinobi World War, Omoi fights among the Allied Forces, his sword and his over-prepared mind turned to the war effort beside ninja from every village.
Omoi is a Cloud swordsman whose mind never stops running scenarios. He fights with a quick lightning-charged blade and the steadiness of someone who has already pictured every outcome — and his habit of imagining the worst, for all its comedy, makes him hard to surprise. Lightning and Yang nature back the sword.

Itachi Pursuit & Sasuke vs Itachi
Omoi has no clan and no Kekkei Genkai, so two columns turn grey, but the rest narrow him fast. His Village reads Kumo and his Ninja Rank reads Chūnin, a less common pairing than the jōnin around him. His Jutsu Types column includes Kenjutsu for his sword, and his Nature Types column is Lightning and Yang — the Yang entry rare on the board. He debuts in the Itachi Pursuit stretch of the timeline.

If I say hello and she ignores me, maybe she hates me, maybe the whole village hates me, maybe I'll be exiled and die alone in a ditch —
I've already thought of forty ways this goes wrong. That's exactly why none of them will.
Karui, calm down. Swinging first is how the worst version of every plan begins.
