Background / History

President Bai and Curator Jiang are Jiangli City’s only two resident Jonin. Although rarely seen in everyday life, both are familiar to residents through television appearances. When Mutant Beasts from the Dark Forest attack the city, they lead the forces that repel them 19.

As the local Ninja Association president, Bai oversees an assessment reform intended to reverse Jiangli’s declining record of producing talented ninjas. His approach places candidates in a controlled Trial Grounds, replacing a more predictable examination with competitive beast hunting and a contested inheritance reward 12 19.

Personality

Bai is a demanding examiner who values adaptability, intelligence assessment, and careful judgment over inherited techniques alone. He deliberately supplies inaccurate map information and bluntly rebukes a parent who treats an expensive legacy as sufficient preparation. He also changes the method of obtaining Yamato’s fragment after discovering that ninja families have gathered advance information 20 21.

His strictness extends to dangerous situations. When Yang Jie is badly injured, Bai declines to withdraw him immediately, waiting to see whether Luo Yu can resolve the encounter. However, he promises that staff will teleport the candidates out if Luo Yu also fails 25.

Curator Jiang regards Bai as stingy but dependable when the city’s interests are at stake. Bai declares that even a complete Yamato inheritance would be worth giving to a deserving prodigy who could help defend Jiangli. After witnessing Luo Yu’s Wood Release, he enthusiastically pays twice the inheritance reward owed under their wager 23 26.

Bai also enjoys trading barbs with rival officials. President Luo’s repeated mockery angers him, and Luo Yu’s victory gives him an opportunity to retaliate with smug offers of another match and recovery supplies 35 38.

Abilities & Skills

Great Fireball Technique

Bai has trained his Great Fireball Technique to mastery level. He is astonished that Luo Yu’s proficiency exceeds his despite the boy’s apparent status as a ninja student 22.

• His own mastery serves as a benchmark when assessing Luo Yu’s unusually powerful Fire Release 22.
• No direct use of the technique by Bai is shown in the provided passages.

Combat Assessment

Bai identifies likely inheritances and evaluates techniques while supervising battles.

• Infers that Zhao Hai inherited Kisame Hoshigaki’s legacy from his shark-like gill slits and extensive Water Release repertoire 35.
• Recognizes Great Waterfall Technique as a powerful three-star Water Release technique 37.
• Warns that Zhao Hai’s quantity and quality of Water Release techniques make him a difficult opponent for Luo Yu 35.

Examination and Talent Administration

Bai uses his authority to organize assessments, distribute rewards, and support promising ninjas.

• Oversees the three-hour Trial Grounds assessment, including scoring, withdrawal tools, and the special inheritance reward 19 20.
• Personally presents Special Badges to the five highest-scoring candidates 27.
• Arranges Luo Yu’s certification appointment, selects a qualifying mission, and registers him for the Intercity Exchange Meet 40 48.

Equipment / Items

• Storage Scroll — Holds the White Zetsu legacies he gives Curator Jiang after Luo Yu defeats the Merged White Zetsu 26.
• White Zetsu legacies — Pays Jiang two complete legacies instead of the single white legacy originally promised in their wager 21 26.
• Yamato legacy fragment — Provides the valuable reward contested in the Trial Grounds’ danger zone 19 23 25.

Relationships

• Curator Jiang — Fellow resident Jonin and city defender. Their friendly rivalry includes a wager on Luo Yu’s assessment result: Bai stakes one white legacy against Jiang’s ten. Jiang also supplies evidence of Luo Yu’s Mangekyō and later training progress 19 21 27 35.
• Luo Yu — A candidate who becomes a priority recipient of Jiangli’s training support. Bai initially doubts the extent of his abilities, then assists with resources, certification, mission placement, and Exchange Meet registration 26 27 28 40 48.
• President Luo / Luo Cheng — Rival Association president from Seven Bays, also called Seven Beach City. Luo’s scouting challenge and taunts provoke Bai, who openly celebrates Jiangli’s decisive victory over Zhao Hai 34 35 38.
• Yang Jie and the Yang Family Head — Bai praises Yang Jie as part of Jiangli’s future, but resists his father’s request for immediate withdrawal during the Merged White Zetsu encounter, promising rescue if necessary 24 25.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Apprentice Ninja Assessment

Bai introduces the Trial Grounds examination, where the top 200 candidates qualify as Apprentice Ninjas. He announces Bronze Badges for the five highest scorers, a Silver Badge for first place, and a Yamato legacy fragment in the danger zone. He explains that higher-grade badges provide larger Dimensional Aura allocations, increasing the time their holders can train in secret realms 19.

The deliberately inaccurate maps eliminate candidates who rely too heavily on supplied intelligence. Bai defends the deception as a test of judgment and bets Curator Jiang that Luo Yu will not take first place. The Merged White Zetsu guarding the fragment draws protests from the observing family heads, but Luo Yu defeats it, convincing Bai that Jiangli has produced an exceptional talent 21 25 26.

Recruiting Luo Yu for Jiangli

After Luo Yu wins with 1,750 points, Bai privately confirms his Mangekyō Sharingan and hears his explanation about a mysterious purple legacy containing Uchiha blood. Bai designates him a training priority and explains that neighboring cities compete at the Intercity Exchange Meet for resources supplied by Association headquarters 27.

Bai initially recommends another year of preparation because the competition includes Genin and Chunin-level fighters. He nevertheless offers support within Jiangli’s means and explains that an Exchange Meet victory could justify applying for two or three Divine Pupil Stones 28.

Seven Bays’ Dojo Challenge

When Zhao Hai defeats Jiangli’s available Genin, Bai contacts Curator Jiang for help. He initially opposes Luo Yu’s participation, but accepts after learning about his rapid improvement. Bai, Jiang, and President Luo oversee the match in place of the arena referee 34 35 36.

Luo Yu’s victory reverses the visitors’ humiliation of Jiangli. Bai taunts the departing President Luo and expresses relief that the city can finally hold its head high after years of poor results against Seven Bays 37 38.

Genin Certification and Exchange Meet Preparation

Bai arranges expedited certification for Luo Yu and prepares a D+ Silverwood Peak exploration mission with Xu Ying. The assignment offers five guaranteed White Zetsu legacy fragments and client-provided Dimensional Aura 39 40.

After Luo Yu completes his certification, Bai registers him for the Exchange Meet and tells him to report to Jiangli’s Secret Realm Transfer Station at nine in the morning. He clarifies that the event uses an Association-created realm requiring no Dimensional Aura 48.
