Suigetsu

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Suigetsu was among the talented children taken away by Obito Uchiha. He was identified as Hōzuki Mangetsu's younger brother and a Hōzuki Clan genius. 493

Before his recovery, Kirigakure's leadership regarded his loss as a major setback for its junior generation. Mangetsu described him as highly talented and stated that their previous rescue attempt had failed. 515

Yichen later brought Suigetsu to Iwagakure with other recovered children. Upon waking, Suigetsu immediately recognized the Tsuchikage, assessed that he was in Iwagakure, and tried to secure his safety by proposing that he be traded back to Kirigakure. 521

Iwagakure's leadership judged that Suigetsu possessed Kage-level potential but concluded that his maturity made voluntary recruitment unlikely. They chose to negotiate his return to Kirigakure instead. 521

Personality

Suigetsu is notably mature and pragmatic for his age. When confronted by Yichen, he avoided pretending ignorance, identified the political value of his connection to Mangetsu, and proposed a trade for his own return. 521

His composure did not prevent him from being intimidated by Yichen; after their meeting, he privately concluded that the Tsuchikage was impossible to deceive. 521
