Seimei

Seimei was the founder of Takumi Village. He was known for creating weapons for the other shinobi villages. Hoki, Kujaku, Ryugan, and Suiko removed his body from his crypt with the power of the Shukaku. Once the preparations were complete, Seimei used the weapons from his comrades to create the ultimate body. He was later killed by Gaara. Though Seimei was difficult to kill, the fight was essentially over when he was hit by Ultimate Absolute Attack: Shukaku's Halberd in his chest. Gaara wasn't taking any chances, and followed up with a Sand Waterfall Imperial Funeral in the pit of sand he had created using minerals from bedrock.

Seimei founded Takumi no Sato approximately one hundred years before the series start. Takumi was known for making special weapons for the ninja villages. After his death the village continued making weapons. Over time certain villagers felt their skills were unappreciated and felt the village was being neglected by the Five Great Shinobi Villages. For that reason, four villagers trained in the ninja arts removed Seimei's body from its crypt and sought his resurrection using the chakra of the Shukaku demon. These villagers called themselves Shitenshounin and sought to lure Gaara away from Hidden Sand to get access to Shukaku's chakra

Shitenshounin were successfully in imprisoning Gaara and withdrawing some of Shukaku's chakra. Shitenshounin's leader Houki then provided his body as the medium for Seimei's return. Seimei was happy to be revived and utilized the weapons of Shitenshounin in his battle against Gaara. Seimei boasted and shrugged off many of Gaara's attacks, however Gaara would not be beaten. Drawing in his hardest mineral sand, Gaara formed a spear which he launched into Seimei's chest, snuffing out his existence once again.
