History
On his way in, Yagura was set upon and seized by the Three Ryūdōin Brothers before he could reach Konoha. The eldest, Genshō Ryūdōin, assumed his likeness in a bid to avenge their father, whom Guy had killed, but the scheme came to nothing. Fellow Konoha shinobi eventually located him. His name carries the sense of tower or turret, and can also evoke the tombs of the medieval era.
