Hokushin’s Background


After being on the run for many years, Hoki stopped and settled in the Land of Birds. Hoki disguised himself as the high priest Moso to gain favor and deceive the people. He used genjutsu, an illusion technique, to make it appear like he could swallow a sword, creating a fake display of loyalty and supernatural powers. Because of this deception, Hoki was given the important position of Chief Advisor.



However, secretly, Hoki had a sinister plan. He used this position to poison Owashi, the former leader of the Land of Birds, causing his death. This act was done secretly, and the people were unaware of Hoki's true intentions.


Meanwhile, Sagi, who was actually Toki in disguise, took on the identity of the Cursed Warrior. Sagi does this to avenge her father's death, believing Hoki is responsible. This set the stage for a conflict and the unraveling of the truth behind the Cursed Warrior and Hoki's treachery.



When a dangerous situation arose, the disguised Moso sent Chishima to ask for help from the Hidden Leaf Village. The village leaders, including Tsunade, sent Naruto, Neji, and Tenten to assist. Using a special technique, Moso trapped Toki (Sagi's true identity) in the final battle. Just then, Naruto, Neji, Tenten, and Kakashi arrived. Moso escaped with Toki, leaving Hokushin and other Watari Ninjas to fight against the Konoha team.



During the fight, Naruto uses a clever strategy with his water clones to reveal Hokushin's true identity. Chishima got hurt by Hoki, but Naruto defeated Hoki with a powerful attack called Naruto Uzumaki Combo. Toki took charge of Hoki, and Naruto insisted that Hoki should face the consequences of his actions and be made to change his ways.



Hokushin’s Personality


Hoki is a person who doesn't follow moral rules and does bad things without feeling guilty. He steals techniques from other villages, tricks the government of the Land of Birds, and kills people without remorse.


He acts superior and looks down on others, but it might be a way to hide his true intentions. Hoki is tired of constantly moving around and wants to find a place to live, but only if he can be in charge there.


Hokushin’s Appearance



Under Moso's disguise, he was a chubby old age man with no hair and a white side mustache. When he showed his true appearance as Hoki, he had trimmed hair and a beard that covered his chin and jaw area.


He adorned his face with decorative face paint. Hōki wore black gloves and traditional ninja sandals. Hoki wore mesh armor underneath for protection.


Hokushin’s Abilities



Hoki is talented in genjutsu, which involves creating illusions to deceive his opponents. He gained the trust of the daimyo by appearing to swallow a sword, showcasing his mastery of deception. He can create multiple illusory clones using the Haze Clone Technique, tricking his enemies into thinking there are more of him than there actually are.



Hoki is also skilled in copying various elemental techniques, such as the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, which he used to knock off the Cursed Warrior's mask. In his fight against Naruto, he displayed proficiency in Water Release techniques. However, many of his techniques are weaker versions or elaborate fakes.


Hoki is also skilled in Kenjutsu, the art of swordsmanship. His strategy revolves around deception, allowing him to overcome stronger opponents and manipulate individuals and entire countries.
