A renown jonin of the Hidden Mist, Kushimaru Kuriarare's ability is as obvious as his crime and cruelty. Reveling in crucifying his foes to extend their suffering, often laughing maniacally while doing so, largely beginning with the killing of his teacher when he was still a genin. As a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsman of the Mist, he and Jinpachi Munashi earned the title of the "Heartless Pair". Serving shortly before the Third Shinobi World War alongside Fuguki Suikazan, Juzo Biwa, Raiga Kurosuki, Jinin Akebino, and Jinpachi Munashi, Kushimaru butchered numerous shinobi. On what was supposed to be a typical mission, he was sent to intercept Team Choza, comprised of its absent leader and the still-growing Might Guy, Ebisu, and Genma Shiranui. Before they could move in, Might Duy arrived, opening all Eight Gates and killing numerous of the Seven Swords, leaving only Fuguki, Juzo, and Raiga alive. Years after his killer's son had become a man, he was reincarnated by Kabuto, with Zabuza taking the place of Juzo and Mangetsu Hozuki wielding Hiramekarei. Initially slaughtering numerous shinobi of the Allied Shinobi Forces' Short and Mid-Range Attack Division under the Hidden Mist, he was forced to retreat after Zabuza's defeat. Returning at dawn the next day, he despised Kakashi for stealing the Executioner's Blade, vowing to reclaim it for the Mist. While he and Jinpachi were able to easily overwhelm the Copy Ninja, they were swiftly defeated by the combined power of he and Might Guy. |
