Her loyalty to Danzo is absolute. She carries out whatever he asks without question.
History
As a Root operative, and presumably a capable kunoichi who fights with a sword, Tsuchinoe is handed a mission by Danzo alongside nine other members: kill Hiruzen to stop his return as Hokage. Taking the guise of a foreign kunoichi, she clashes with an Anbu guarding her target, only to find she is fighting a disguised Kakashi, and the attempt collapses. Her name surfaced only through a Studio Pierrot design sheet of Root members.
