Soegi
CharacterSoegi is a shinobi of Konohagakure who appears during Code's assault on the village. His brief moment on record is an act of protection that costs him his freedom.
Appearance
No detailed physical description is recorded for Soegi beyond his standing as a rank-and-file Konoha shinobi.
Personality
The little seen of him points to a protective, self-sacrificing streak. Faced with a threat closing on a comrade, he puts himself in harm's way rather than let her be struck.
History
During Code's invasion of Konoha with a swarm of Claw Grime, Soegi is among the shinobi sent to hold them off. When one of the creatures lunges to bite Sarada, he throws himself in front of her and takes the bite instead. The grime that seizes him hardens into a tree, and Soegi is consumed by it. His name, written with characters meaning a splint or support prop, fits the way he braces himself against the attack for another's sake.
