Anaguma

Anaguma is an older, fair-skinned man marked by deep hollows beneath his eyes and a scar tracing down past the right one. His hair is white and his beard neatly groomed. He dresses in the standard garb of Kirigakure, topped by an aviator-style cape that carries his Kiri forehead protector.

Level-headed and grave, Anaguma keeps his cool even as a prisoner and treads carefully by nature. He takes his bounty-hunting seriously, shows courtesy toward others, and will readily join forces with people he has only just met when lives are at stake.

Skilled enough to bring in a wanted and dangerous man like Rokuro, Anaguma backs up his hunting with Water Release, spinning out water threads that can brace an unsteady structure. After collaring Rokuro, he and his partner carried the bounty aboard the Thunder Train, only for Anaguma to wake in a sealed chamber. He briefed Boruto Uzumaki on the little they knew and cautioned Yatsume about how dangerous his charge was, before their host Ōga appeared and claimed they had been quarantined after surviving a lethal gas attack, in truth to test whether they could cheat death. Anaguma's partner drew a death card from Ōga's offer and was executed on the spot.

The first trial dropped the group onto a crumbling platform above a chasm, and while others leapt clear, Anaguma stayed to help Boruto save the civilian captives, straining to hold the failing structure together with his water threads after Batta's wind technique worsened it. When his threads gave out he was flung off, caught only by Rokuro's legs; against his own warning, Kakesu freed Rokuro's restraints, and Rokuro simply let both Anaguma and Kakesu fall. The real Anaguma, however, survived in suspended animation along with the others slain inside Ōga's genjutsu. Once Boruto's faith in Yatsume, who was the true Ōga, broke the illusion and freed everyone, Anaguma and his partner kept Rokuro in their custody.
