Background / History

Rule over Rōran

Anrokuzan rules Rōran in practice while its young queen holds the royal title. The city contains thousands of towering spires, extensive energy conduits, and war puppets powered by the Dragon Vein. Kazuya initially identifies him as Mukade, a Sunagakure rogue ninja who traveled from the future 137.

Beneath the city, Anrokuzan enslaves its citizens to manufacture puppets in factories without daylight. After Kazuya, Minato, and Kushina’s first incursion, the war-puppet population increases by nearly fifty percent in ten days. Over the same period, the factory’s surviving population falls from nearly a thousand to approximately half, with those remaining wounded and exhausted 138 168.

The trio later concludes that Anrokuzan most likely originated in a different parallel world, rather than either their own world’s future or the future world they visited 169.

Defeat and Capture

Unable to locate his control mechanism, the trio seals the Dragon Vein itself. This cuts off the energy supplying most of Anrokuzan’s puppets and factory machinery 170 173.

Kushina identifies five targets carrying his chakra signature. Minato and Kushina pursue one fleeing into the desert, while Kazuya shoots the other four puppet bodies with Vacuum Arrows and retrieves their cores. Anrokuzan’s distributed-body strategy fails because Kazuya’s unusually long-range Byakugan can survey all of Rōran 171 172.

Kazuya argues against killing him, valuing his puppet-making technology and proposing that he serve the people he oppressed. Minato and Kushina accept the plan to keep Anrokuzan alive, restore puppet services, and prevent unrest from threatening the Dragon Vein 172.

Control and Reconstruction

When brought together, Anrokuzan’s five cores resonate and fuse. Kazuya inserts a Spirit Ball into the combined core, gaining access to his memories and control over his life, actions, and will. The technique replaces Anrokuzan’s hatred with absolute loyalty 173.

Kazuya places the core into a body crudely assembled from recovered puppet wreckage. Under a blue glow, its components reshape and reconnect, restoring Anrokuzan in just over ten seconds. He immediately addresses Kazuya as his master 173 174.

Service to Kazuya

Kazuya assigns Anrokuzan to expand and defend the Dragon Vein’s underground chamber, manage Rōran’s remaining citizens, and broaden his research beyond combat puppets. Suggested applications include reconnaissance, infiltration, high-altitude operations, construction, and survival in harsh environments 177.

A month later, Rōran has greenery, improved living conditions, and residents operating small businesses. Anrokuzan has also developed a Flying Machine and completed a defense base around the Dragon Vein crossing 194 195.

He subsequently serves as Kazuya’s safeguard during Sage Art Chakra synthesis and brings Mining Puppets to the Gelel Stone ruins. Away from Rōran, he powers those puppets with his own energy and confirms that their systems can be modified to use other energy sources 203 255 256.

Appearance

• Humanoid puppet body: Contains mechanical components instead of an ordinary human interior 142 173.
• Living core: Housed in an oval jar bearing flesh-colored or blood-red tendrils, with detectable life force and chakra 171 173.
• Repair glow: Emits blue light while rebuilding and reshaping its body 173 174.

Personality

Before his capture, Anrokuzan treats Rōran’s people as expendable labor while expanding his puppet forces. He favors puppets because they require neither food nor rest and can operate continuously with Dragon Vein energy 168.

He is inventive, proud, and enthusiastic about puppetry, but often neglects practical constraints. His Flying Machine project advances toward larger-scale production before he establishes its performance, while his energy-cannon design assumes that the Dragon Vein makes efficiency unimportant. He initially resists producing Mining Puppets because he considers such work beneath a great Puppet Master 194 195.

Spirit Ball control changes his allegiance, not his intelligence. He shows fanatical devotion to Kazuya while still asking useful questions, including whether the crossing base’s defenses should face inward or outward 174 177.

Abilities & Skills

Puppetry and Engineering

• Creates large numbers of war puppets, copies of his own body, and interchangeable puppet components 137 171.
• Develops specialized flight systems, mining machinery, energy cannons, and long-distance energy transmission devices 194 195 255 256.
• Can adapt puppet systems to different energy sources with modifications 256.
• Lacks the sensory-blocking barriers needed to conceal his bodies from Kazuya’s Byakugan 171 194.

Living-Puppet Physiology

• Survives destruction of a puppet’s head while its core remains intact 171.
• Can go indefinitely without food, drink, or rest if supplied with sufficient chakra and free of mental problems 176.
• Could theoretically achieve immortality, although this has not been tested 176.
• Is especially sensitive to energy reactions, which sustain his existence 256.

Divided Core

• Distributes his living core among five puppet bodies, leaving the others functional when one is captured 171.
• Uses separation to exploit the expected range limits of sensory techniques and allow at least one body to escape 171.
• Can recombine the cores, strengthening their life force and producing detectable spiritual power 173.
• Remains vulnerable to wide-area detection: Kushina’s chakra sensing and Kazuya’s Byakugan expose all five bodies 171 172.

Self-Reconstruction

• Reshapes misplaced components and converts excess material into missing parts, allowing a poorly assembled body to become functional 173.
• Restores his body in just over ten seconds during his reconstruction 174.
• Consumes more than half his chakra in that repair; no other abnormalities are reported 174.
• The process resembles nanotechnology to Kazuya, rather than ordinary mechanical repair 173 174.

Dragon Vein Utilization

• Uses the Dragon Vein to power Rōran’s puppet network and machinery 137 170.
• Its nearly limitless supply supports continuous operation, but sealing it shuts down most connected systems 170 173.
• Possesses an energy-drawing technique that Kazuya subsequently uses to absorb Dragon Vein energy 175.

Inventions & Projects

Invention / Project	Features and Limitations
Flying Machine	Oval prototype roughly half a person’s size, resembling a UFO. Uses Dragon Vein energy, with effectively unlimited power within its supply range; its practical speed and flight distance remain unclear during inspection 194.
Dragon Vein Energy Cannon	Claimed to rival B-rank Fire Release within 1,000 meters. Has unlimited ammunition while the Dragon Vein supplies energy, but poor efficiency compared with casting comparable ninjutsu directly 195.
Dragon Vein Crossing Defense Base	Underground fortification equipped with energy cannons and war puppets. Kazuya later adds concealment, defense, genjutsu, and spatial-restriction barriers 195 196.
Mining Puppets	Generally humanoid machines ranging from approximately half a meter to five meters tall. Variants use tool-equipped hands or extra limbs to facilitate mining 255.
Energy Tower	Transmits Dragon Vein energy over long distances to power puppets. Cannot immediately serve the distant Gelel Stone site because the required towers have not been installed there 256.

Relationships

• Hyuga Kazuya — Initially an enemy; later his master through Spirit Ball control. Kazuya preserves him for his technical expertise and entrusts him with Rōran, research, and personal safety duties 171 173 177 203.
• Minato Namikaze — Opponent who captures his fleeing fifth core. Accepts Kazuya’s proposal to spare him but warns that his ingenuity makes him dangerous 172.
• Kushina — Tracks his five chakra signatures and helps capture the escaping core. Initially advocates killing him and openly expresses disgust at his self-transformation 171 172 173.
• Rōran’s young queen — Nominal ruler during his ministry; Anrokuzan exercises actual control over the city 137.
• Rōran’s citizens — Enslaved workforce under his original rule. Their living conditions improve after Kazuya takes control of him 138 168 194.

Notable Quotes

“Master, should the defenses face inward or outward?” 177

“Yes. As long as it’s energy, a few modifications will make it work. As a great Puppet Master, something like this isn’t a problem.” 256
