Mizunoto

is a member of Konohagakure's Anbu faction Root.

Background
In the anime, to prevent Hiruzen from being reinstated as Hokage, Danzō gave Mizunoto and nine other Root members a mission to assassinate him. Disguised as a foreign shinobi, he fought the Anbu accompanying his target, who turned out to be a disguised Kakashi, resulting in the mission's failure.

Personality
Mizunoto would always listen to his superior, Danzō no matter what. He would ask questions when needed though.

Appearance
Mizunoto is a tall shinobi, with black hair tied in an elaborate top-knot. He regularly wears a typical Anbu cloak. His mask is unusual in that it has two colours in it, with dark teal, dot-shaped eyebrows, and red, sharp-toothed mouth.

Abilities
As an Anbu, Mizunoto is a presumably a powerful shinobi. He also wields a sword which indicates him being skilled in kenjutsu. Danzō had enough faith to assign him and nine others to assassinate Hiruzen, and though this ended in failure, Mizunoto managed to survive against a battle against the famed Kakashi.

Pain's Assault
When Pain attacked Konoha, Danzō instructed Mizunoto and the rest of the Root group he was with to not assist the village until the chaos died down. Mizunoto then questioned Danzō's instructions saying that it would be pointless if he were to become Hokage if all of Konoha's citizens were dead. Danzō responded that most of the villagers will be safe and that it was all for Tsunade's era to end. He and the other Anbu then complied with Danzō's instructions and didn't assist the village.
