Sangoro
CharacterThe Land of Rivers is home to Sangoro, a miner whose settlement falls under the rogue ninja Raiga Kurosuki. Forced to flee, he later crosses paths with Naruto Uzumaki and guides the Konoha ninja back to investigate the man who seized his village.
Appearance
Beneath a bandanna knotted at the back of his head, Sangoro keeps his black hair short and hidden, and thick brows sit above his eyes. His beard is short and grey, trimmed so close to the skin that it barely stands out.
Personality
Details of Sangoro's character are thin; he is presented simply as a working miner. His choices speak for him, though: rather than submit to Raiga Kurosuki's rule he abandoned his village, and he was willing to return and help the Leaf's inquiry, marking him as a decent townsman unready to hand over his home without resistance.
History
Once Raiga Kurosuki seized command of their village, Sangoro and his companions walked away from it, only for a storm to catch them on the road. Their travels eventually led them into the Land of Fire. There they came upon Naruto Uzumaki. Sangoro then made his way back to the Katabami Gold Mine in the company of Naruto and the other Leaf ninja dispatched to look into Raiga.
