The bells of Jetavana toll, echoing the impermence of all things. The colour of the flowers on the sal tree. Only the evil practice certain death. I won't let you lay a finger on these people.

Ayame Sarutobi
Qotd


Sarutobi Ayame ( 猿飛 あやめ ) is a ninja from the Oniwabanshuu by training, but is currently working as an assassin.She also has a part-time job at the Kunoichi Café. Since her initial appearance, she has developed a serious obsessive infatuation with Sakata Gintoki, to the point of even stalking him. She is severely myopic, to the point of being almost blind (cannot tell living things from inanimate objects) without her eye glasses. It is also hinted that she doesn't see well even with her eyeglasses on, as she once mistook Kagura (dressed up as Gintoki at episode 97 part 2 ) for Gintoki himself.However, this could solely be due to her infatuation with him. She has frequently clashed with Otae for various reasons.

Background

Not much is known about Sarutobi Ayame's past. She was trained as a ninja in the Oniwabanshuu, but would later resign and become an assassin,as seen written in her resumé. She attended the funeral of Zenzou's Father and it came to light that both she and Wakikaoru were his students and attended the same class together, during which they would often play Kick-the-can because it demanded the ability for them to hide themselves and make instantaneous decisions.

Appearance

She has long, light purple hair and wears dark-red glasses. There is a beauty mark on her chin, and she is apparently big-breasted (mentioned by both Gintoki and Kagura).Her usual attire consists of a Martial Arts training uniform top with its arms cut off and a red band wrapped around the waist. Her arms are covered by dark purple forearm sleeves that matches her scarf in the same color, and on her left breast she has a protection cup. She wears black boots and her legs are mostly uncovered, except for some black hotpants. She has been shown using many different kinds of weapons, such as kunai, metallic claws and other items. However, one that stands out in particular is her natto which basically means beans they are presented as sticky fermented bean dish, which she regularly uses to slow down her enemies, making them unable to move.

Throughout the series, she has been shown wearing different outfits and costumes.

Personality

Ayame has a playful attitude, but gets serious when it comes to her work. She also seems to enjoy bondage and S&M.Although Gintoki is indifferent to her affections and even treats her badly most times (e.g throwing things at her whenever he senses her stalker presence), her 'M' or masochistic personality only makes her enjoy the punishment, and his 'cruelty' only serves to encourage her. Despite the 'stalker' label, she feels insulted to be compared to Kondou Isao and his stalking of Shimura Tae. At multiple occasions, she has shown that her mind is very sex-oriented, trying to get Gintoki to join her S&M games, or being aroused by a lack of public decency.

Strength and Abilities

She's been trained by Zenzou's father since childhood as a ninja.

Ayame would soon reach the conclusion that she had to separate her love-life from her work, and thus she creates two different "modes" for herself. One of them is the Lovestruck-pig mode, while the other is her Killer mode, as she works an assassin.

Sachankillermode

Sa-chan in her Killer-mode

Her Lovestruck-pig mode usually activites anytime she is around Sakata Gintoki, making her unstable and worrying about him rather than her work. Her Killer mode, on the other hand usually activates anytime she has to prioritize her job. Hilarity ensues when her cover is as a nurse, and she activates Killer mode on her patients whenever they interrupt her and Gintoki (who's in the hospital after his moped exploded).

Her favorite food is natto, which she uses in her jutsu.

When Hiraga Gengai repaired her glasses, he upgraded and added new features and these features are:

  • Shooting Laser beams.
  • The Earpiece can extend, multiply and attacking enemies.
  • Can analyse enemies from power level, range, lock on targets and predicting attack form.
  • Can transform her whole body into an armored angel:

    • Use "The Glasses school of Ninjutsu" style.
    • The ultimate attack: "The Flight of Hundred Glasses", which fires hundreds of glasses from the wings at locked on targets face and detonates.

Story

Sarutobi Ayame is an assassin, but she also has a part-time job in the Kunoichi Kafé where she works as a waitress. Her manager there is Kawasaki. When she is not working she seems to be spending most of her time stalking Sakata Gintoki.
