He was described to have a belligerent personality, witnessed through his hostile and aggressive attitude most times. However, he was noticeably upset that Sasuke killed several samurai during the attack on the Kage Summit, pointing out how many times Sasuke had told him not to kill anyone, his anger may have had more to do with Sasuke being a hypocrite than the samurai's deaths. Suigetsu has been shown to have thoughts such as "just this once" and "he'll forgive me". However, there are several occasions where he has killed people when he believed Sasuke wouldn't notice. Suigetsu expressing his passion for cutting things.Īs a prodigy at the art of murder, Suigetsu has a certain love for killing, but he refrains from doing so at Sasuke's request. Suigetsu, despite addressing him with the honourific term "senpai", wants to defeat him and take his sword, noting to Sasuke that he will one day serve him as "shark fin soup" (a reference to Kisame's shark-like appearance) after Sasuke suggested that he was not yet strong enough to defeat Kisame, showing it to be a sign of sarcasm rather than respect for Kisame. Kisame Hoshigaki claims that Suigetsu is a prodigy in the art of murder, as he has a habit of chopping off his victim's limbs before beheading them. Despite showing initial dislike towards his team-mates, Suigetsu has grown fond of them, and was willing to risk his own life to protect them against the Eight-Tails, showing care for his team-mates. He spends a considerable amount of time mocking and/or being beaten up by Karin. Suigetsu appears to be indifferent, caring only for a few things around him. Taking Sasuke's sword and delighting in its design, he attacked Karin, only to be caught off guard and subdued by her chakra chain, allowing Karin to take him back to the base. Using his various water abilities, he was able to fend off the duo. Soon afterwards, he was pursued by Sasuke and Karin. The medical-nin then opened Suigetsu's chamber, allowing him to break free from the base. As the medical-nin came in to begin their tests, Suigetsu noticed one of them was in a daze (unaware he was being controlled by Sasuke's Sharingan). Upon seeing the young Uchiha, Suigetsu asked Sasuke to free him, who simply said he had to prove his strength. In the anime, about two years after Sasuke joined Orochimaru, the young Uchiha delivered a vial for research on Suigetsu. At some point in the past, he had to fight with Jūgo. Through these experiments, Kabuto at least, was able to replicate Suigetsu's unique secret ability to liquefy himself at will. With the humiliation of being captured and experimented on by Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi, his ambition was put on hold. While Mangetsu eventually became one of the seven, Suigetsu's motivation was shattered with the premature death of his brother, and he changed his ambition to "collecting all of the swords", in order to retrieve all seven original blades that have been passed down by the swordsmen, so that he could rebuild the group and become its leader. This acted as their motivation to finish cruel missions day by day.
He and Mangetsu aspired to inherit the title of Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
