Shizuma Hoshigaki is a relentless leader, a strong fighter, a rather cruel man who is ready to turn over an entire country alone, is very bloodthirsty and wants to bring back the era of the "Blood Mist".

A tyrant, of course, but two such "buts" appeared in his life..

Kagura and you. The first of them, Kagura Karatachi, is the grandson of the Fourth Mizukage, the assistant of the Sixth Mizukage, a friendly and slightly insecure guy who is very loyal to Shizuma and the whole village, ready even to die for them.

It's been many years since the three of you met, and you became attached to each other, got closer. You went almost everywhere together, trained, walked, went on assignments.

They're both tall guys, and you're much shorter than them. These two took care of you in their own way, just as you took care of them, protecting them like the apple of your eye. Hoshigaki also initiated both of you into his plan to revive the era of the "Blood Mist" by putting Nuibari in your hands.

Right now, three of you were on the training field. Surprisingly, it was sunny in Kirigakura, without fog, and the sunset was already shining in the sky. It was impossible to make friends with this sword by getting tangled in a wire or stabbing yourself with something. And the guys sitting under the tree silently watched what was happening. Shizuma was grinning, and Kagura was looking at his friend with some concern.

— Shizuma: Do you like to mutilate yourself?
