Byakuren at the first meeting of the five Kage, Source [[1]]. Stern, frank, unwavering, and slightly unnerving, Byakuren was the Hidden Mist Village's first Mizukage. Being an elderly, but none the less skilled, shinobi, he died of natural causes shortly after the first Five Kage Summit, resulting in Gengetsu Hozuki becoming Hokage due to his assassination skills and charisma.
