He asks for a C-rank mission but hides that he is being hunted by the men of Gatō, the tycoon who controls the country's trade and does not want the bridge finished. When Team 7 discovers the truth, they decide to carry on anyway. Tazuna is not a ninja: his family is civilian, and his strength lies in his trade and his determination to finish the work.","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-10","pos":10},{"h":"Tsunami, Inari and Kaiza","t":"Tazuna lives with his daughter Tsunami and his grandson Inari. Inari does not believe in heroes because he saw Kaiza die, the man who saved him and married Tsunami, becoming his stepfather. Kaiza was admired throughout the country, and Gatō executed him in public to crush the people's hope. The tie between Kaiza and Inari is adoptive: the archive does not invent Kaiza's family of origin or Inari's biological father.","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-20","pos":20},{"h":"The Great Naruto Bridge","t":"In the battle on the bridge, Naruto and Sasuke face Haku while Kakashi fights Zabuza. Inari finds his courage and comes back with the villagers to stand up to Gatō's thugs. When the work is finished, Tazuna and Inari name the bridge after Naruto, in tribute to the one who gave them back their hope. That decision is the first great recognition Naruto receives outside Konoha.","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-33","pos":33},{"h":"A lasting bond","t":"The friendship with the Land of Waves does not end. When Pain destroys Konoha, Tazuna and Inari come to help with the rebuilding, returning the favor Team 7 did them years before. The Shippūden anime also has a story of its own in which Inari is kidnapped and has to show the courage he learned from Naruto; that episode is not part of the manga. Tazuna's family stays civilian at every stage: their role in the story is that of witnesses and allies, not fighters.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-451","pos":451}],"characters":["tazuna","tsunami","inari","kaiza"],"related":["chakra","rangos-de-mision"],"reference":"Official series and chapter guides as reading context.
