Yagura Karatachi

Yagura was a young-looking adult, though rather short for his age. He had short, messy, grey hair, which fell over the right side of his face and spiked up on the left. He also had pupilless pink eyes and what seemed to be a stitch-like scar running from under his left eye, all the way down his cheek. His attire included a grey, sleeveless shirt with the Kiri forehead protector attached to the front, as well as a short-sleeved mesh armour, which he wore a green poncho. He also wore a turquoise sash around his waist, paired with a matching green apron over his pants and a pair of brown boots. Along with it, he would carry a club with uneven sized hooks, which bared a green flower on the larger end.

As a child, Yagura took part in the village's barbaric ritual where Academy students would be forced to kill each other in order to graduate. Following the Three-Tails' revival after being killed in Rin Nohara, the tailed beast was sealed within a young Yagura and he learned to control its powers over the following years. As a jinchūriki, he became known as the third person to achieve full control over a tailed beast. Yagura, being the strongest shinobi in his village at that time, was elected as the Fourth Mizukage. In the anime, he effectively united the various islands of the Land of Water under his leadership. In the anime, when two members of Akatsuki infiltrated the Land of Water, Yagura joined a team of hunter-nin to apprehend them. The hunter-nin all died during the battle, but Yagura was able to kill Jūzō Biwa by using a version 2 form; Jūzō's partner, Itachi Uchiha, immobilised Yagura with Amaterasu so that he could escape. At some point, Yagura killed Iwabee Yuino's grandfather. Around this time, a masked man (who claimed to be Madara Uchiha) took control of Yagura, effectively gaining control over the village. In the anime, this confrontation took place in an encounter with Obito, Pain, and Konan. During his reign, he became widely known for his hand in various crimes such as exploiting money from the weak and his zero-tolerance against any dissent in the village, reinforcing its nickname as "Village of the Bloody Mist" (血霧の里, Chigiri no Sato). According to one of the Boruto novels, the masked man used his control of Yagura to steal money, information, and other supplies from Kiri for use by Akatsuki. This motivated the tyranny of Bloody Mist, in order to cover up and compensate for the stolen resources. After Kisame Hoshigaki killed Fuguki Suikazan for leaking intel to other villages, Yagura commended Kisame for killing the traitor, before "Madara" revealed that he was manipulating the Mizukage. His tyrannical reign led many in Kiri to believing he was being manipulated, as well as other villagers wanting him to be executed.Zabuza Momochi was one such individual who came to disagree with Yagura's reign, to which he led a coup d'etat that ended with a failed attempt on his life. Eventually, Ao's Byakugan managed to dispel Tobi's genjutsu, which had a fatal effect on the Fourth Mizukage shortly afterwards. In the anime, Kirigakure was still grieving over Yagura's death shortly before the joint Chūnin Exams. Although Yagura died shortly after Tobi's hold over him was broken, he did sire a child prior to his death, who years later went on to have Kagura.
