Background / History

Hyuga Shin sent Miyashi Hizokurou to join Kakuzu's recruitment team after its unsuccessful search for talent in the Iron Country and nearby black markets. Kakuzu verified his identity directly with Hyuga Shin, who described Hizokurou as both powerful and intelligent. 57

In the Land of Grass, Hizokurou recruited Uzumaki Ayano alongside Inoue Hirohiko. He promised her training and contact with surviving Uzumaki, then carried her when her poor physical conditioning slowed the group’s return journey. 59 He later personally guided Ayano’s Chakra refinement and defended her potential before Spark’s other members. 63 67

Hizokurou established Spark’s base near Kusagakure, completing it within a month at a cost of 35 million ryo. He intended to use the Land of Grass as a foothold for eventually controlling Kusagakure. 64 67 To accelerate recruitment, he funded a black-market ninja convention with a 30 million ryo prize and guaranteed rewards equivalent to at least A-rank missions. More than 90 qualified black-market ninja accepted within ten days. 68 69

After Spark developed into the Nether Ninja Village, Hizokurou took a central role in its expansion, ideological campaigns, and coercive diplomacy. He conquered the Land of Sea with Hidan, exposed the Artisan Country Daimyo’s manipulation, and helped bring subordinate countries and ninja villages under Nether Ninja Village jurisdiction. 183 184

As the village’s leader, he confronted the Five Great Shinobi Villages directly. He entered Konoha, bypassed its Elite Jonin, split the Hokage Building apart, and fought Hiruzen Sarutobi. 195 196 He later issued ultimatums to Kirigakure and Iwagakure, compelling their leaders to yield under the threat of overwhelming force. 206 207 209

When Orochimaru ordered the assassination of the Five Great Nations’ Daimyo, Hizokurou led the operation. The mission revealed that the Daimyo were protected by hidden, non-Chakra power systems and used evil arts to steal luck and fate from their populations. Hizokurou killed the Daimyo of Fire, Wind, Earth, Lightning, and Water within a single day, while his team eliminated their associated hidden forces. 270 271 273 274 275 276 He subsequently spent three days probing the memories of the Daimyo and their protectors to uncover further information about their fate-stealing practices. 277

Personality

Hizokurou is pragmatic, patient, and highly results-oriented. He favors plans that turn resources into influence, exemplified by his expensive base construction and black-market tournament; in his view, problems solvable with money are not problems. 67 68 69

He is committed to the Nether Ninja Village’s ideals and consistently places its long-term goals above personal concerns. This guides both his political actions and his refusal of Uzumaki Ayano’s confession, which he regarded as dependence rather than love. 140 167

Despite his ruthlessness toward entrenched enemies, he shows consideration for allies and subordinates. He protected Ayano during her recruitment, visited injured comrades after the war, arranged training with medical supervision, and attempted to recruit several formidable opponents before killing them. 59 167 228 276
