Kido Tsumiki

is an Anbu executive from Konohagakure, formerly a high-ranking member of Root.

Background
Kido was raised by a poor single father, who dedicated all of his income to send Kido to the Academy, so that he could have a higher chance at a better life. However, when his father began accepting more dangerous missions for higher pay, he was eventually killed in battle. Because of this, Kido grew an addiction to money. In time, Kido became a powerful and skilled shinobi like his father dreamed him to be, strong enough to attract the attention of Danzō Shimura, who placed him in Root. Over time, Kido became the organisation's treasurer and was even rumoured to have financed, laundered and monitored all of Danzō's finances for his unsanctioned operations. With Root's disbandment upon its leader's death, Kido became an Anbu executive.

At some point in time, Kido and his subordinates collected hair samples from Sasuke Uchiha and had his aid, Magire, create a chakra-enhancing medicine in hopes of creating an artificial way to bestow a person with the Sharingan. After the Fourth Shinobi World War, Konohagakure began considering to lower military-related budgets in favour of other projects, causing Kido a great deal of worry. Desperate for continued income, Kido began orchestrating small security incidents, involving high officials in the village, to ensure continued funding.

Personality
Kido's poverty-related childhood problems made him a miserly, money-obsessed individual, whose mind was constantly thinking of wealth, forcing him to make poor decisions in his life. Because of this obsession, Kido was not above using his position as an Anbu to cause trouble in the village, such as attacking the Fire Daimyō and Homura Mitokado, a member of the Konoha Council, to ensure that the budget for Anbu would never be depleted even in the slightest. Even when the current Hokage, Kakashi Hatake, and others quickly realised he was the mastermind behind many security related events, Kido refused to stop his plans, showing a dedicated and stubborn side of his character.

Kido's obsession with money stemmed unto his perception of others as well. He had a low opinion of Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka's "Children's Mental Healthcare Clinic" because they treated children mainly with low cost, but highly effective, therapy instead of just giving children prescriptions for medicine, which would bring in far more revenue but questionable results. Because of this, medical professionals like Shizune had a very low opinion of Kido.

Abilities
Being an Anbu executive and a high-ranking member of the Root before the former's disbandment, Kido is undoubtedly a very powerful shinobi.

Juinjutsu
Kido is capable of putting a cursed seal on his allies, in a similar fashion as to how Danzō used his Cursed Tongue Eradication Technique, as a way to protect his secrets from leaking. The seal was designed to cause its wearer to explode if they divulge sensitive information.

Kenjutsu
Being an Anbu, Kido uses and is apparently skilled in close-range swordsmanship.

Fearing a decrease in Anbu's budget was inevitable during the peace time, Kido orchestrated a couple minor security incidents with Konoha VIPs like the Fire Daimyō and Homura Mitokado to ensure continued funding over the "Children's Mental Healthcare Clinic" despite the results it was producing. Before leaving, he voiced his disapproval over the clinic earning him a glare from Shizune.

Later, upon realising his incidents were being investigated by Kakashi, Kido began sending his subordinates to kill Kakashi's agent Sai. Understanding that the three he sent were killed without succeeding, Kido knew it was only a matter of time before he was discovered and urged Magire to complete their shared project before it was too late.
