His rule became tied to the village's harshest period, the “Bloody Mist”, when the academy forced students to fight each other. By the time Shippūden begins, the Three-Tails is already roaming free and his story comes up indirectly, through what others tell. In the anime, an episode about Itachi's past in the Akatsuki shows him fighting Itachi and Jūzō Biwa, a scene that is not in the manga.","lvl":1,"ep":"shippuden-456","pos":678},{"h":"The memory of the Bloody Mist","t":"Yagura's legacy returns in the Boruto anime, when Boruto's class travels to Kirigakure and visits the Mizukage Chōjūrō. There they meet Kagura Karatachi, who tells them the dark story of the “Bloody Mist”. Iwabee explodes when he remembers that the Fourth Mizukage killed his grandfather. The scene shows that a village's past still weighs on the next generation, even though those kids never lived through those wars.","lvl":2,"ep":"boruto-26","pos":701},{"h":"Kagura, Yagura's grandson","t":"Kagura helps rescue Denki from some Mist students and becomes friends with Boruto. Later he confesses that he is Yagura's grandson and that he fears the violent urge he feels when he grips his sword, as if he carried his grandfather's guilt. The anime establishes the grandfather-grandson relationship but does not name the middle generation: the tree leaves that link incomplete instead of inventing his parents. Everything about Kagura is anime-only material.","lvl":2,"ep":"boruto-27","pos":701},{"h":"Shizuma and the new swordsmen","t":"Shizuma Hoshigaki attacks Boruto with his group of New Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, intending to start a war and return Kiri to its old ways. Kagura agrees to join him in exchange for sparing Boruto, who goes looking for him with Sarada. Mitsuki exposes the plot with a signed confession, Shizuma fuses with Samehada, and Boruto, Kagura and Mitsuki defeat him together. Kagura thus decides not to repeat his grandfather's path.","lvl":2,"ep":"boruto-31","pos":701},{"h":"Kagura's reform and end","t":"Later, in the Funato clan arc, Kagura works at the prison where his former comrades are serving their sentences and tries to reform them, thanks to what he learned from Boruto. When the Funato pirates attack the Land of Water, he fights alongside Team 7 and protects Boruto, but Funamushi takes him hostage and fatally wounds him. Kagura dies after asking that his comrades be freed. This ending is also anime-only.","lvl":2,"ep":"boruto-246","pos":758}],"characters":["yagura","kagura"],"related":["chakra","kirigakure"],"reference":"Official series and chapter guides as reading context.
