Kuroma Tatsushiro

is the antagonist of Naruto Shippūden: Dragon Blade Chronicles.

Appearance
He is a young man with gray hair and green markings on his face. Like Akari, his younger sister, he has red eyes and small horns on his head, signifying a connection with the Genryu, the five dragons that he awakens in the hopes of absorbing their power. He has numerous tags on his robe that allow him to use elemental attacks, and a large scroll strapped to his back with a carved dragon's head on one end. The light green medallion on his belt matches the one Akari wears around her neck, and, presumably, is a symbol of the Dragon Guardians.

Plot overview
Kuroma was first seen when the team from Konoha tracked him down to his base in Mount Koryu's Ritual Hall. He explained his motives, to become the Light Dragon to get revenge for the world's persecution of the Tatsushiro clan. Once Naruto returned with the elemental orbs crafted from the five Genryu's shining scales, he broke down the five barriers, which each corresponded to an element, and pressed the switches behind them to release the barrier guarding Kuroma.

When Naruto finally entered into battle with Kuroma, his efforts to defeat him proved somewhat fruitless, until, all of a sudden, Sasuke arrived, having just battled with Akatsuki's Kisame Hoshigaki up above, the latter of whom then disappeared. Perceiving Kuroma as a threat to his plans to kill Itachi, Sasuke attacked him, but ignored Naruto. After Naruto was seemingly defeated, Sasuke decided to leave, as he was wasting time trying to defeat Kuroma instead of hunting Itachi, who was in the area. Naruto's team-mates attacked Kuroma, only to be blown back by his power. Seeing his friends get hurt, Naruto went into a three-tailed state and attacked Kuroma. After Naruto had defeated Kuroma, Akari plead with Naruto not to kill him, but Naruto, influenced by the Nine-Tailed Fox, simply charged at her instead. Just before he got to her, though, Sakura shouted his name, bringing him back to his senses after an inner battle with the Fox. This, however, gave Kuroma enough time to initiate the ritual to take the power of the Genryu.

However, before he could actually transform into the Light Genryu, Akari pushed him out of the way, taking the power for herself so that she wouldn't lose Kuroma. As Kuroma began to mourn the loss of Akari, she turned into the Light Genryu. Akari then became the final boss of the game. She had six forms, with the first five matching up to the elements of the previous five dragons, as well as a light-based form, and Naruto had to defeat each form before he could deal the finishing blow. Once defeated, Akari returned to normal, and she and Kuroma soon discovered that their horns, as well as Kuroma's facial markings, had disappeared, freeing them from their burden as Dragon Guardians now that the Genryu were gone. The two departed together to lead new lives, no longer having to protect the Dragon Blade, and no longer being persecuted because of their appearances.

Trivia

 * "Kuroma" means "pure black". This is in contrast with Akari's name, which means "light".
