Kikunojō

Kikujou was a skilled ninja from the Land of Greens. He grew up and trained alongside his friend Yurinojou who shared a friendly rivalry. When still kids, he and Yurinojou developed a huge crush on Tsunade and fought for her affection (at least according to Tsunade). Since a young age, Kikujou showed tremendous talent for ninja arts and earned great fame throughout the Land of Greens. He was later chosen as a personal guard to the daimyo.

Years later when the infamous Janin attacked the Greens Country, the current daimyo sent Kikujou and Yurinojou to protect his own daughter, Haruna. Fearing that their combined skills would not be enough, Kikujou hired Konoha for assistance. Unfortunately due to little money, they could only offered assistance at a C-rank level mission under the guise of escorting merchants. To futher this deceptions, Kikujou, Haruna, and Yurinojou disguised themselves as merchants as well. When it soon became clear that the Janin saw through their deceptions, Kikujou went off to face them head-on.

Kikujou then found himself in a flower field against the youngest of the Janin Ruiga. Kikujou initially had the upperhand and for while seemed the inevitable winner with his clan's secret jutsu. Unfortunately, Ruiga then unveiled his own secret technique and killed him.

At the end of the arc, Kikujou was given a proper burial and Haruna apologized for not appreciating his selfless service.
