Appearance

He stands at a middling height, brown hair falling to his shoulders. He wears Kumogakure's standard flak jacket over a grey one-shoulder vest, topped by a forehead protector. A yellow plague-doctor mask hides the upper part of his face, and a bulky brown pouch for weapons hangs from his gear.

Abilities

Kabuto chose him for revival precisely because of the skill he had displayed in life. He fought as a nimble, acrobatic taijutsu specialist, able to break one enemy's neck after another in a smooth chain without once setting his feet on the ground. His reflexes were sharp enough to swat Sukui's flung scalpels aside with a kunai. For ranged work he favoured spiked bombs that showered his targets in shrapnel.

History

Kabuto Yakushi reincarnated him beside a Suna counterpart to back Hayate Gekko in seizing a KIA scroll, a record listing sensitive casualties such as bearers of kekkei genkai. He hated being wielded as a puppet and squabbled with his teammate over it, yet he threw himself with real zeal into the fight against the Logistical Support and Medical Division while Hayate secured the scroll. On the way back, the two ran into a team led by Sukui. Caught in an explosive tag trap, he was sealed before his body could knit itself together, Io pinning him beneath a huge rock set with a Sealing Tag. When the Impure World Reincarnation was at last dispelled, a light enveloped his bound form and his soul was returned to the afterlife.
