Saizō Kirigakure

Saizō Kirigakure (霧隠 才蔵, Kirigakure Saizō) is the leader of the Sanada Ten Braves and an Iga ninja known by the name of Marishi-ten, who makes his living as an assassin (though he told Isanami that he was a samurai). His weapons are a large kunai called "Mari-Blade" and a smaller kunai.

Personality
Though Saizō may appears uncaring, he shows that he has a soft side, which is shown when he helped Isanami to get to Yukimura in Ueda. Even though he possesses masterful skill, he distrusts the loyalty of the relationship between a lord and a vassal, and this is the reason why he doesn't serve any lord. It is revealed that when he was young, he saw an old samurai friend get discarded and thrown into a river by his own master when he died. He has a deep hatred for Koga ninja. He is Sasuke Sarutobi's rival, and always calls him 'monkey' as a derogative term.

Appearance
Saizō is a lean, well-built young man of average height with dark green eyes, and black-colored hair. He usually wears dark clothes and brings Mari-Blade in his back. He wears a dark cloth shawlish type piece of clothing usually, but he is seen without it sometimes (usually when he's sleeping or just wakes up).
