Hyō

is a member of Konoha's ANBU and a former member of the, now disbanded, ANBU "Root". As most Root ANBU, he's still loyal to Root's founder Danzo and is apparently trustworthy enough to be given the task of delivering top-secret information for him. He is introduced when acting as a go-between for Danzo and Sai, reminding the latter about the will and purpose of Root while doing so. He is presumed to be helping in Danzo's efforts in becoming Hokage.
