Murasame

is a missing-nin from Amegakure that appears in Mission: Protect the Waterfall Village!.

Background
He left his village behind to help Suien seek the Hero Water in Takigakure.

Appearance
Murasame is a muscular, tough-looking shinobi. He wears a black, sleeveless shirt, grey pants, ninja sandals, and brown-coloured arm warmers. He has about chin length grey hair which is spiked at the top. He also has a teal line marking that goes over his nose, somewhat resemblant of Iruka's scar.

Abilities
Murasame was more skilled than Hisame and Kirisame in the fact that when Suien is not around he was left in charge of the team.

Ninjutsu
Murasame could use Water Release: Water Whip to make a whip out of water that he could use to bind his opponents. He is also skilled at genjutsu, which he uses to create hazy afterimages of himself to confuse his enemies.

Taijutsu
Murasame utilises a high-speed taijutsu, which minimises the opponent's ability to react to his attacks.

Other Skills
Murasame also carries a specially made wire that, when used to bind a person, can slice through their body to cause a great deal of damage if the person tries to break free with the Rope Escape Technique.

Plot Overview
He assisted Hisame in taking down Sasuke Uchiha while Naruto Uzumaki pursued Shibuki. Murasame was defeated when Shibuki drank the Hero Water to fight back against Murasame and his fellow attackers with a Water Dragon technique. He was revealed to be alive in the novel and was captured by Kakashi in the end.
