In his youth, Tatewaki was an average samurai in the Land of Iron. After developing his own doubts on the Land of Iron's isolationist stance, he left on amicable terms with his superiors. Wandering as a mercenary, though making sure to keep his honor, he eventually found himself in the employment of the daimyo of the Land of This where he found a new meaning in life in protecting the daimyo's daughter, Chiyo. When warriors from the Land of This kidnapped the son of the Land of That's daimyo, Shu, Tatewaki became his guardian as well, training him in his own way of the samurai. Years later, when Naruto Uzumaki replaced Shu in an attempt by the Leaf's Team Asuma to return him to the Land of That, he immediately saw through the deception, a feat none of the other guards could muster. However, when he learned that Shu was safe within his homeland, he was glad that the boy had found safety. This hapiness was short-lived, however, when Deidara and Sasori attacked the castle town. Despite knowing his daimyo was already dead, he fought for the honor of the destroyed nation, as well as in hopes of killing the dangerous Akatsuki, though he never really stood a chance. Despite dying a painful death, he was happy knowing that the genin had taken Chiyo to safety in the Land of That. While he was resurrected by Kabuto during the Fourth Shinobi World War, he was one of the weaker summons, and was able to pass back into the Pure Lands without any regrets after learning the status of Chiyo and Shu. |
