Gandō

Tall and heavily built, Gandō kept his black hair braided and bound in a ponytail, with red marks over his eyes. His dress matched the rest of the Shirogane Three: a purple onmyōji-style robe bearing the clan crest, held closed by a dark red sash, with a red and a blue scroll strapped to his lower back. Faded purple trousers tucked into leg bandages, shinobi sandals, and a dark blue tassel on his left forearm completed the look.

A single goal consumed him, the total revival of the Shirogane clan, and he placed it above his own survival, ready to take his own life if doing so brought the clan nearer to return.

Like his kin, Gandō fought through puppets. His first appears as a silhouette beside those of Ibushi and Menō, and it crosses paths with Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi in Kisaragi Village before withdrawing once it finds the spirit orb absent. He steps forward with the rest of the Shirogane Three after Menō fails to kill Naruto's group, then springs a trap when Konoha delivers the Spirit Orb: raising a barrier to lock out Kakashi and Guy while one of Menō's puppets seizes the orb. He turns his puppets on Naruto until the barrier breaks and battle erupts. With his puppets destroyed, Naruto's Rasengan finishes him, and with his last words he admits he was only bait so the puppets could escape with the orb, promising the clan will rise again once the Master Puppet is revived.
