Souta Saica is the head of the Saica Faction, and is Gensui Rikugan Taisho(Marshall General) to the Saica Faction. Souta is born of Iwagakure, wherein his Faction originated, before they moved to the Northwestern mountain range to form the official Saica clan.

History
Souta was born within Iwagakure, but to whom is unknown. His proficiency in Earth Release lead to people humoring that he was born from the Earth itself. As a child, he grew up in the streets mostly. There was a bar he would hang around late into the night, as they would give him a blanket for warmth, Eventually the owner of that bar adopted him. And gave him a small room above the bar in which to live. Souta showed much ambition to become a member of the Iwagakure Shinobi forces. Training was his life for quite some time, It wasn't until after he passed his Chunnin exams that he adopted the name Saica, and began gathering people to form the Saica faction. When asked why he chose Saica, Souta could only say that a crow with three legs had asked him to do so, as a favor. He was unaware whether or not it was a genjutsu, but he felt a strong desire to do this favor. He would symbolize this crow through the Saica Crest, which is a crow with three legs. As he has become strong through his training, he has began studying the Arts of Senjutsu, combining him with his Earth Affinity to form his Earth Sage Mode. However he has only reached preliminary stages of these studies.

Abilities
- Earth Release

Souta has trained in one affinity alone, Earth. and in doing so has become a master of such. He utilizies all variations of Earth Techniques. And can be a very strong support role should he require to be.

- Sage Mode. Souta has only just began learning Senjutsu arts. And as such he can only activate the sage mode, but he can not use Sage-mode-only techniques. He remains using his original techniques, just much stronger as he is reinforced with Senjutsu Chakra.

Souta is progressively storing Senjutsu chakra within his Earth Clones so that he may access Sage mode quickly, rather than having to build the energy mid-battle.
