History Characters / NarutoHiddenMistVillage

* RapunzelHair: It goes almost all the way down to the floor even though she's wearing it in a long top knot. She shortens it considerably in her later years.

* PuppetState: The entire Bloody Mist era was the result of a genjutsu placed on the Mizukage at the time, turning him into a violent ruler who eventually fell when the Tailed Beast inside him got extracted.

* CrapsackWorld: During the Bloody Mist era. If you want to become a ninja, you had to kill a fellow student just to graduate from the class. If you had kekkei genkai, then your life simply sucked.

* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: Particularly, the seven swordsmen and potential members.

* {{Meganekko}}: A male example.

* BodyguardCrush: He has a [[HoYay/{{Naruto}} heavily implied crush]] on Zabuza.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: He has blue hair.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Chōjūrō has short, tufty blue hair.

* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Green Hair]]: Dark green in his case.

* FingerlessGloves: He has these.

* WorldsBestWarrior: [[spoiler: He is without a doubt the strongest Mizukage of all time and the strongest of his time when he was alive]].

* GoodIsNotNice: Reforming a place as violent and dangerous as the Blood Mist required at times a firm hand in addition to kindness, and even by the time of ''Boruto'' when she has largely retired from active duty, Mei makes it clear she is quite willing to kill anyone who would try enabling the village to backslide back into the hellhole it was, regardless of their rank or social status.

* FormerlyFit: Mei put on some weight by ''[[Manga/{{Boruto}} Boruto's]]'' time, gaining HartmanHips and a number of wrinkles as the years went by. Justified though, given how long after the original series the story takes place and the relative peace of the era. She's still depicted as quite attractive and capable though.

* PreAsskickingOneLiner: To Sasuke, saying he is cute before [[spoiler: melting freaking Susanoo with a single attack.]]

* AntiVillain: Probably the friendliest one you can find in Anime history.

One of most powerful Shinobi, Gengetsu Hozuki, the Second Mizukage, was a respected leader of Kirigakure. He was killed during the last confrontation against the Second Tsuchikage Mu, killing him at the same time. Kabuto's Edo Tensei brought him back to life to face the Shinobi Alliance in the Fourth Shinobi World War. Besides being a very tall [[BadassMustache mustached]] man with large poofy hair, [[SharpDressedMan curious way of dressing]] and with [[UnusualEyebrows no eyebrows]], not much is known about him other than he was a MasterOfIllusion, a laid back, and very charismatic leader concerned with the welfare of the Secret World and that he '''loathed''' the Second Tsuchikage. It is revealed in chapter 556 that he was a member of the Hozuki clan, like [[Characters/NarutoTaka Suigetsu]] and his brother. Uniquely to the former two, his hydrification technique manifests itself in the form of producing an oily, water-like substance.

* BadassBeard: Also possesses an awesome goatee.

* MasterOfIllusion: His illusions operate in the same matter a real-life mirage does. By summoning his clam, it creates a heavy, illusory mist that the Mizukage hides in and creates a 'false' Mizukage for the enemy to target. While the enemy tries to attack, all their attacks just pass through the mirage while the real Mizukage moves through the mist and attacks covertly. Due to the method of how the Genjutsu is cast, even entire teams of sensors couldn't pinpoint the real Mizukage and even with his explanation, the Mizukage still couldn't be hit. The only way to cancel the Genjutsu is to find and neutralize the clam...but since the clam is ''also'' hidden by the mist, moves around in the illusion and creates mirages of ''itself'', it's a task easier said than done. [[spoiler: Now if we take his Joki Boi (Infinite Explosions Technique), he's made into a nearly unbeatable ninja since he can hide in a mirage which is so broken that not even entire teams of sensors and possibly Dojutsu users could find the real Mizukage and the Clam. Thus...when Joki Boi is created the real Mizukage, who'd be weakened by the Joki Boi's creation, could just sit back and let his little psycho clone attack while he's safe and sound.]] All and all, it's this ability that makes him the strongest of the Edo Kages, acknowledged in-universe.

* WorldsBestWarrior: [[spoiler: Acknowledged by Gaara to be the strongest of the resurrected Kages.]]

* WorldsStrongestMan: [[spoiler: Acknowledged in Universe by Gaara to be the strongest of the resurrected Kages.]]

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Even more so than most since she lived through and graduated during the Bloody Mist era. Note that during the Bloody Mist era, if you wanted to become a ninja, you had to kill a fellow student just to graduate from the class. She had the misfortune of going through both before eventually working her way to becoming the next Mizukage.

Years after the war comes to an end and during some point at the epilogue, Mei passes down her title to her former bodyguard Chojiro. Hilariously, she never finds a nice looking decent man.

* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Several female fans do, but [[StupidSexyFlanders it's hard not]] [[MsFanservice to see why]].
* {{Foil}}: One to Tsunade. They are both the 5th generation kage, as well as the first female kage for they’re respective villages, and are both [[ChristmasCake Christmas Cakes]]. While Tsunade doesn't care, it's Mei's berserk button. Their fighting styles are opposite, Tsunade uses super strength, while Mei's uses her Kekkai Genkai. The most obvious is Tsunade is the Fire Shadow, while Mei is the Water Shadow.

* FormerlyFit: Mei put on some weight by ''[[Manga/{{Boruto}} Boruto's]]'' time, gaining HartmanHips and a number of wrinkles as the years went by. Justified though, given how long after the original series the story takes place and the relative peace of the era.

* MrsRobinson: She spends her entire conversations with Sasuke pointing how he is at her taste − and let's not even mention the "mouth-wiping" scene. Sasuke is ''17''! She is also a bit too affectionate to Chōjūrō − [[BodyguardCrush not that the latter minds, really.]]

* StoryBreakerPower: Her Boil Release managed to [[spoiler:melt Susanoo in seconds]] making it the single strongest heat attack until now... and barely taxes her at all. Not even [[SuperpowerLottery Madara Uchiha]] wanted to be anywhere near it.

* WeaponTombstone: Until Suigetsu retrieved it. In the anime, it was pinched by a crime lord before Taka went after him to obtain it.

* DiesWideOpen: Kakashi closes his eyes.

* MasterOfIllusion: His illusions operate in the same matter a real-life mirage does. By summoning his clam, it creates a heavy, illusory mist that the Mizukage hides in and creates a 'false' Mizukage for the enemy to target. While the enemy tries to attack, all their attacks just pass through the mirage while the real Mizukage moves through the mist and attacks covertly. Due to the method of how the Genjutsu is cast, even entire teams of sensors couldn't pinpoint the real Mizukage and even with his explanation, the Mizukage still couldn't be hit. The only way to cancel the Genjutsu is to find and neutralize the clam...but since the clam is ''also'' hidden by the mist, moves around in the illusion and creates mirages of ''itself'', it's a task easier said than done. [[spoiler: Now if we take his Joki Boi (Infinite Explosions Technique), he's made into a nearly unbeatable ninja since he can hide in a mirage which is so broken that not even entire teams of sensors and possibly Dojutus users could find the real Mizukage and the Clam. Thus...when Joki Boi is created the real Mizukage, who'd be weakened by the Joki Boi's creation, could just sit back and let his little psycho clone attack while he's safe and sound.]] All and all, it's this ability that makes him the strongest of the Edo Kages, acknowledged in-universe.

* LoneWolfBoss: As far manga goes, he’s the only major villain who doesn’t have any ties to [[MadScientist Orochimaru]], [[NebulousEvilOrganization the Akatsuki]] [[spoiler: or [[HumanAliens the Ōtsutsuki Clan.]]]] At least until [[spoiler: Kabuto [[CameBackWrong brought him back as an undead puppet.]]]]

* FamousLastWords: "COME, LIGHTNING! GIVE ME A FUNERAL WORTH REMEMBERING!!"

* TokenEvilTeammate: Kirigakure has the worst reputation among the hidden ninja villages and this not without merit. There were the infamous Academy graduation method, questionable loyalty of many of its ninja (Kiri has the most number of missing-nin, including all of its Swordsmen of the Mist), and deplorable persecution of ninja with kekkei genkai. During the Kage Summit, the Raikage accuses Kirigakure of harboring Akatsuki activities and suspects that the organization had its origins there. While the second part is wrong, the Fourth Mizukage ''was'' brainwashed by an Akatsuki member. The databook notes that the Fifth Mizukage has a hard time reforming her village into a better place, although she eventually does succeed.

* ArcVillain: Although Gato is the driving force behind the antagonism, Zabuza serves as the main threat as a hired hitman of the "Land of Waves" arc.

* TookALevelInCynic: [[spoiler:After surviving the Fourth Shinobi World War, Ao has seemingly grown bitter and disillusioned with the Shinobi world. Despite his previous loyalty to Kirigakure, he has not returned to the village since the war's end and has betrayed it to join Kara as an "Outer".]]

* ZenSurvivor: [[spoiler:After surviving the 4th Shinobi World War and losing two limbs and his Byakugan transplant, [[TakenALevelInCynic Ao has seemingly grown bitter and disillusioned with the Shinobi world]]. Despite his previous loyalty to Kirigakure, he has not returned to the village since the war's end.]]
