Yagura (やぐら) was the jinchūriki of the Three-Tailed Giant Turtle and the Fourth Mizukage (四代目水影, Yondaime Mizukage) of Kirigakure. When the Three-Tails was captured by Akatsuki, it had no host and roamed out in the wild. The reason why the Three-Tails was removed from Yagura is unknown.
History
During his time as Mizukage, until the massacre of Academy Students by a young Zabuza Momochi, the village was known as the "Village of the Bloody Mist" (血霧の里, Chigiri no Sato), due mostly because of the barbaric ritual where Academy students kill one another for graduation. It is likely that Yagura was the Mizukage who Zabuza tried to assassinate.
Despite the terror of his reign, he appears to be kind. Apparently the people of Kirigakure fear that Yagura was being manipulated, a fear which was confirmed by Ao, who saw through an unnamed genjutsu with his Byakugan.[1]
Eventually, the Three-Tailed Beast was removed from Yagura for unknown reasons, and the beast was allowed to roam free. With that, Yagura's life and reign came to an end.
Abilities
As accustomed to the shinobi of the hidden mist, Yagura most likely cmmands water style jutsu. Yagura has also been one of the few jinchūriki that are able to control thier tailed beast. Yagura's weapon is what seems to be a large staff, with 2 hooks on each end, one larger than the other, along with a flower on the larger end.
Trivia
- Because Yūkimaru has some control over the Three-Tails, and because he has some resemblance to Yagura, it is speculated that they have some connection to each other; however, Yūkimaru is an anime-only character that does not appear in the manga.
- Yagura is one of only four people said to be able to truly control a tailed beast, the others being Hashirama Senju, Madara Uchiha, and Killer Bee.[2]
- Yagura is one of two jinchūriki known to have been a Kage, the other being Gaara.
