Arashi

Arashi had sleek, chin-length purple hair, its bangs falling to his brows, and grey eyes. He dressed in a green short-sleeved shirt with a white collar and cuffs, black sleeves covering his forearms, and long grey trousers.

Arashi carried the hopes of the Fuma clan on his shoulders, and his choices were driven by a single-minded wish to see it restored. That desperation led him to seize a bloody path to power at the cost of his own mind, and when defeat came he refused any escape, resigned to dying rather than abandon the ruined cause.

The Fuma clan had been gutted by a pointless war of expansion waged at their daimyo's command, and the survivors splintered, some turning to banditry while others clung to hopes of rebuilding. When Kimimaro came as Orochimaru's envoy offering them a home in his new hidden village, Arashi, prized as the clan's most gifted member, accepted along with Jigumo, Kamikiri, Kotohime, and Kagero. His talents included the clan's guarded Curse Mandala, which raises a crushing pyramidal barrier, and the Casualty Puppet, by which he absorbed the bodies of two kinsmen to become a shifting mass wielding their techniques.

Impersonating Orochimaru until Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, and Sasame found him, he slew Jigumo and Kamikiri and folded them into himself to fuel the Curse Mandala, sacrificing his sanity in the process. Naruto tore the corpse puppets from his back and shocked him back to lucidity, but as the hideout caved in, Arashi stayed put, held in place by his puppets and resigned that either path meant his end.
