Personality

History

As a councillor, Sajo ranks among the shrewdest shinobi Sunagakure has to offer. He had been keen to see how the Chunin Exams co-hosted with other lands would turn out, but that anticipation was overtaken by the Akatsuki's seizure of the Fifth Kazekage. Recalling how the Third Kazekage had once disappeared without a trace, he counselled his fellows to keep the fate of the village foremost in their thoughts.
