Kakuzu (Deity)

Kakuzu was a very tall, tan-skinned man with long dark-brown hair. His eyes had an unusual colouring: green irides, no pupils and red sclerae. Noticeably, despite his advanced age, he still appeared as a man well within his prime, retaining a very muscular build. his mouth was stitched together at the edges. He also wore brown nail polish The various stitches on his body. The kimono is predominantly vibrant red, symbolizing power and divine energy, accented with deep swamp green threads that weave through the fabric like veins of the forest. It is styled in a traditional yet imposing manner, with long flowing sleeves and layered robes that evoke the majesty of a mountain deity. Thin, mystical threads are embroidered across the garment, representing the sacred bonds of sacrifice and spiritual connection. Hidden within the kimono’s folds are five heart motifs, symbolizing the five hearts inside the god’s body, glowing faintly as if alive. This attire reflects both the god’s fearsome nature—receiving annual sacrifices of maidens—and his deep connection to the mountain realm he rules.

Kakuzu was a greedy and miserly individual. He would arrange goals in terms of the highest profit he could gain from them, and was often unwilling to involve himself in something if there was nothing to gain from it, as well as claiming that he tended to forget opponents who were not worth any money after he was done with them. He even remarked that money is the only dependable thing in the world. Despite his obsessive personality and violent rages, Kakuzu was much more cautious than his partner, and was not as arrogant, never mindlessly rushing into battle. Kakuzu held a violent hatred for his village, as despite his loyalty and willingness to risk life and limb on a dangerous mission, his failure was repaid with uncharacteristically harsh punishment. He responded in kind by brutally betraying Takigakure — committing jailbreak, taking knowledge of their most valuable kinjutsu and killing all of the elders before departing Kakuzu was shown to be a keen analyst and pragmatist, which was somewhat attributable to his advanced age.
