Yagura (やぐら, Yagura) was the jinchūriki of the Three-Tailed Giant Turtle and the Fourth Mizukage (四代目水影, Yondaime Mizukage, Literally meaning: Fourth Water Shadow) of Kirigakure. When the Three-Tails was captured by Akatsuki, it had no host and roamed out in the wild.

Background[]

During his time as Mizukage, the village was known as the "Village of the Bloody Mist" (血霧の里, Chigiri no Sato), mostly because of the barbaric ritual where Academy students kill one another in order to graduate. This practice was discontinued when an entire graduating batch of Academy students were massacred by a young Zabuza Momochi. It is likely that Yagura was the Mizukage whom Zabuza tried to assassinate when he revolted.

Yagura was also known to dispatch Kiri-nin who were suspected of being disloyal to the village immediately (commending and taking Kisame Hoshigaki as his direct subordinate after assassinating a traitorous member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist). Yet despite the terror of his reign, he appeared to be kind. Apparently the people of Kiri feared that Yagura was being manipulated, a fear which was confirmed by Ao, who saw through an unnamed genjutsu with his Byakugan,[1] later identified by Kisame as the work of Madara Uchiha.[2]

Appearance[]

Yagura has unkempt gray hair, pink eyes, and what seems to be a stitch-like scar running from under his left eye all the way down his cheek. He has a dull expression and wears a gray undershirt with short mesh sleeves which has a metal plate of a Kirigakure forehead protector sewn onto it. He also wears a long green scarf around his neck, a turquoise sash around his waist, paired with a green indument that hangs on his legs, and black pants. He's one of the few ninjas to not wear sandals, instead relying on a pair of brown boots opened on the back. On his back he carries a staff-like pole weapon with uneven hooks with a green flower on the end of the larger hook.

Abilities[]

Three-tailsandjinchuriki

Yagura and the Three-Tails.

Yagura was presumed to be a powerful shinobi due to him being chosen as the Mizukage at a very young age, and was also one of the few jinchūriki that were able to fully control their tailed beast.[3] He wielded what seems to be a large staff, with two hooks on each end, one larger than the other, along with a flower on the larger end. The flower itself could apparently spread an illustrious smell, which invoked hallucinations of wickedness and horror upon any victim who sniffed up the staff's aroma. Only an opponent as strong as Madara Uchiha was ever able to defeat and overwhelm Yagura, and his brother claims that Yagura would have been an undefeated warrior in battle, if it wasn't for Madara's Sharingan.

Kenjutsu[]

Yagura was during his time and despite his age one of the most skilled swordsmen in the world. His mastery over the bladed weapon allowed him to develop a style so demanding and complex as Unshūmusan, and be the only one to fully master it for years. He was also very proficient in staff-wielding, using the hooks on the edges of his staff to tear away flesh, wood and stone.

Part II[]

Shinobi World War Arc[]

He is resurrected by Kabuto, along with the other deceased jinchūriki through the Summoning: Impure World Resurrection, to fight in the Fourth Great Shinobi World War.[4]

Trivia[]

  • The word "Yagura" (櫓 or 楼) means "tower" or "turret". It could also refer to the tombs in the middle ages.
