Hagiri

was a friend of Tenma Izumo during their time in Konohagakure's Academy. His mother and sister died during the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack while Hajiri watched helplessly. Because many believed the attack to have been the doing of an Uchiha, Hajiri joined Tenma and Katsura in bullying Itachi Uchiha. Despite being much younger than all of them, Itachi easily defeated them once a fight broke out.
