[Source]. Once one of Zabuza Momochi's most trusted allies and training partners, though ranking nowhere near Haku, Gengo acted as his genjutsu specialist during their coup against the Fourth Mizukage. When a traitor in their ranks led the coup to failure, the band was forced to abandon their mission, acting as mercenaries to attempt to enact justice once again some time in the future. However, when their leader began accepting corrupt work from corrupt individuals, Gengo was among the first to leave, taking a small crew with him. Conquering the Land of Silence, he followed Zabuza's method of acquiring leadership by killing his comrades, supplanting himself as sole dictator, putting most of the nation's high-ranking shinobi, as well as armies of weaker civilians using the flowers than naturally grew around his castle. Following the Fourth Shinobi World War, he took advantage of the numerous shinobi who felt they had lost their home from the creation of the Shinobi Union, forming an army over the course of two years. However, when Sai entered Gengo's ranks, he attracted the attention of the Sixth Hokage, sending Shikamaru, Ro, and Saku to investigate. Having almost succeeding in putting the Leaf Village's most intelligent shinobi under his genjutsu, he was quickly rescued by Temari, Ino, and Choji. Fleeing to his highest tower, letting his "Enlightened Ones" handle the others, he attempted to kill Shikamaru withi his kenjutsu skills, only to be outdone by clones and Shadow Possession. As he was hauled off to prison in the Land of Iron and his followers were freed from his genjutsu, the various shinobi he had controlled returned to their respective villages as those who stayed slowly devolved the Land of Silence into a lawless crime den on the edge of Shinobi Union space.
