Suigetsu


Okay, lessee here.

Suigetsu was born in the Village of Bloody Mist and trained by the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist. He was called the "Second coming of Zabuza the Devil" referring to his old Senpai Zabuza Momochi. He is first seen as a tank of water right after Sasuke defeats Orochimaru. Sasuke destroys the tank, letting the water inside spill out, and from that water emerges Suigetsu. He at first seems intent on establishing his dominance over Sasuke, holding his finger over a pressure point on Sasuke's head, but tells him later that it was a test to see if he defeated Orochimaru with skill or luck. He then promises Sasuke that he will follow him if Sasuke helps him find the sword "Kubiriki" previously owned by his former teacher Zabuza. In the manga, Sasuke leads him to Zabuza's gravemarker which the villagers erected as a sign of respect to him and his apprentice Haku. Suigetsu takes the sword, and boasts to Sasuke, "As long as I have this sword, not even you can touch me. Maybe."
However, in the anime the sword is already gone, taken by a man called Tenzen Daikoku. Sasuke pays a visit to Tenzen in the night, telling him a large invading army is coming to drag him away and tear his castle down. He then leaves, and the next day, horsemen are seen riding toward Tenzen's castle. The same day he makes a bet with Suigetsu, the terms of which being, the person to touch the sword first wins the bet, but they can't kill anyone in the castle. Sasuke defeats the horsemen and burns the arrows that are fired at them, then he disappears, leaving Suigetsu to take the blame. Suigetsu defeats all of his opponents easily and enters the inner castle without a scratch, finally making it up to the top. When asked how he defeated all of Tenzen's soldiers he replies that all weapons are useless against him. Tenzen appears worried, but a huge bodyguard smashes through the wall behind Suigetsu and slashes him in half with Kubiriki. Tenzen starts to gloat, but the two halves of Suigetsu start to move. He again tells them that no weapon can hurt him, and rejoins himself. As the bodyguard swings again, he becomes liquid for a second, reforming beside the man. Using the art of water expansion to make his arm muscular, he asks them which one of them killed Zabuza. Tenzen tries to shift the blame to Sasuke, who has just appeared, and Suigetsu jerks the guard through the hole in the wall he created. Suigetsu threatens to test his new blade out on Tenzen, but Sasuke reminds him that if he kills Tenzen he'll loose the bet. Suigetsu compensates by swinging his sword through the central pillars of the building, giving Tenzen a chance to escape before the building collapses. Suigetsu stays true to his word, and follows Sasuke to collect the next member of their team, Karin of the Southern Hideout.

On the way there, Suigetsu asks why they need Karin, stating that he doesn't like her because she used to experiment on him. When they reach the Hideout they find Karin and convince her to join their group. Suigetsu makes frequent stops on the way to their last destination, the Northern Hideout, causing Karin to become increasingly more annoyed with him. It becomes apparent at this point that Suigetsu, being mostly made of water, must drink water often, and becomes tired easily, having not been able to walk in so long.

Suigetsu often fights with Karin, insulting her or annoying her to the point where she starts to hit him, which usually results in his becoming liquid and then reforming. Suigetsu's goal is to take all the swords of the Seven Swordsmen, and he concentrates next on Kisame Hoshigaki's sword, "Sameheida". As of yet he hasn't managed to take it.

Suigetsu's favorite foods appear to be yoghurt or jello, both being semi-liquid. He appears to be slightly rebellious against Sasuke, for example, he will occasionally kill people when he thinks Sasuke will not mind, or not find out about it. He appears only to stay with the rest of the group because they will help him accomplish his goal faster. He is often seen protecting his comrades at cost to himself, showing that maybe he has a little bit of loyalty to his teammates.

So, a quick review.
