Gosunkugi is a thief who operates in and out of the Land of Stone. He would kill anyone that stood in the way of what he wanted to steal. On one occasion, he murdered a family of three and left the blame on another man that he briefly fought upon departure. That man was the local blacksmith Tokichi (who became Sazanami), who fled from the vengeful villagers and became a bounty hunter to hunt down Gosunkugi.

Tsunade dispatched Naruto Uzumaki, Kiba Inuzuka, Akamaru, and Hinata Hyuga to hunt down Gosunkugi when he stole an item from the Land of Tea's Daimyo. After an encounter with Naruto and company, Sazanami caught up with Gosunkugi and his followers. Gosunkugi wounded Sazanami and briefly fought Naruto and company before retreating.

After recuperating, Sazanami, Naruto, and the others pursued Gosunkugi and his followers when they target a ceremonial bell. When his henchmen are defeated, Gosunkugi seized the bell and a fight between the ninja and Sazanami occur. Despite being defeated by Naruto and Sazanami, Gosunkugi was seized by the bounty hunter Gatsu.
