Takashi Murakami

Takashi Murakami is an Iga ninja known by the name of Chīmu-ten, who makes his living as an assassin (though he told Yuki that he was a samurai). His weapons are a large kunai called "Black Steal" and a smaller kunai.

Personality
Though Takashi may appears uncaring, he shows that he has a soft side, which is shown when he helped Yuki to get to Jinpachi in Konoha. Even though he possesses masterful skill, he distrusts the loyalty of the relationship between a lord and a vassal, and this is the reason why he doesn't serve any lord. It is revealed that when he was young, he saw an old samurai friend get discarded and thrown into a river by his own master when he died. He has a deep hatred for Koga ninja. He is Saito's rival.

Appearance
Takashi is a lean, well-built young man of average height with green eyes, and light brown hair. He brings Black Steal in his back.
