Daizen Matsushige

Daizen Matsushige is a former thief that had settled in Konohagakure as a shopkeeper.

Background
Daizen had committed various thefts and murders during his time as a thief. He had once encountered a shinobi, the father of Hibiki and her brother, who he had killed, though not before the latter left a cross shaped scar on his chest. Daizen would later start a new life owning a shop in Konoha.

New Era
When Mitsuki had asked for the whereabouts of his missing cat, Daizen offered to let him know if he saw any similar looking cats. The next day, a customer talks to him about the attacks on ex-shinobi, also bringing up that Daizen was a shinobi as well. Daizen states it was only a desk job. Later, he finds Mikazuki behind his shop and scares him off.

At night, as Daizen closes his shop, he is attacked by Hibiki and her brother. However, he anticipated them ambushing him and fights back, thinking that by killing them he will be hailed as a hero. As Daizen was about to kill them, Mitsuki intercepts him. Daizen confirms to Team 7 and Kōtarō Fūma that the duo are the attackers. Hibiki and her brother accuse him of being their father's killer and only wanted to see that scar on his chest. Daizen reveals to everyone no scar, though it is revealed as a ruse when Mikazuki scratched off prosthetics covering his scar. Though Sarada Uchiha didn’t think it was enough proof, Mitsuki believed their claims and Kōtarō suggested bringing Daizen in to compare him to other suspects with a similar description that had committed thefts and murders. Daizen attempts to flee but is stopped by Mitsuki.
