The unnamed head ninja of Kumogakure.
Head Ninja (忍頭, Shinobigashira) is a position in the shinobi system of Kumogakure. It is a rank between jōnin and Kage, and unique to its own village. As the highest-ranking shinobi, they are sent on important political missions, including serving as ambassadors for peace treaties with other villages, and is responsible for leading the village's shinobi forces.[1] The only one seen is an unnamed ninja who was sent to Konohagakure to sign a peace treaty nine years before the start of the series, and was killed for attempting to kidnap Hinata Hyūga.
Trivia[]
- In Konohagakure, there is a similar position called Jōnin Commander. However, unlike "Head Ninja", "Jōnin Commander" is not a separate rank.
