Personality

Ōmitsu takes the calm, protective role toward Komitsu, who idolises his throwing skill. His aim outclasses his little brother's by a wide margin, yet his first instinct is concern for him, and his relief is plain when Sasuke hauls the boy back from the edge of a ravine. Grief for the family runs beneath it all, pinned squarely on Akatsuki.

History

Ōmitsu and Komitsu are the far younger siblings of Kodaka and Kiiro. Once their parents were gone, the two older boys took freelance jobs from the hidden villages to keep everyone fed, which frequently left the youngsters alone, cheered only by messages Kodaka relayed through his bees. Kiiro eventually came back bearing news that Kodaka had fallen battling Akatsuki; the children read this as murder and turned their hatred on the group. Their fortunes shifted when Kiiro discovered, hidden within the Valley of Lies, a scattering of unusual pale blossoms whose nectar let the bees make honey enough for the family to finally put down roots, though he warned the boys never to romp among the precious flowers. In the tale of the evil blossoms in full bloom, a stray gust sweeps their shuriken toward a ravine and Sasuke Uchiha snatches the falling Komitsu to safety. Coaxed into a training session, Sasuke sharpens the boy's aim, and when a crimson sunset conjures thoughts of Akatsuki, Ōmitsu points out that the word actually means daybreak before admitting the group claimed his family. Kiiro tracks them down, learns of the rescue, and sends the pair home for a jar of medicinal honey to repay Sasuke, which they hand over before waving him off and begging him to return.
