Among a number of vaguely defined abilities, the dōjutsu gives him extrasensory perception allowing him to remotely see and hear events from vast distances. He also has a slightly feminine appearance.īy his own admission, Ranmaru believes his dōjutsu to be superior to the Byakugan. He wore a light-purple shirt with black stripes on each side, a sash around his waist, a pair of dark-coloured pants and sandals. He also has red-coloured eyes that would glow whenever he used his dōjutsu. Ranmaru is a young boy with chin length purple hair which is parted in the middle. Though later Ranmaru technically betrayed Raiga when he sided with Team Guy, this was, from Ranmaru's perspective, to Raiga's benefit, as he wanted Raiga to see a life without killing. Ranmaru was a quiet and gentle boy with a fierce loyalty towards Raiga for showing him the world. After Raiga's defection, he and Raiga enslaved a town and forced its villagers to work in its mines, also assembling some followers (including Karashi) to form the Kurosuki family. During this time, Ranmaru began working in unison with Raiga, using his eyes' various powers to contribute to Raiga's fighting prowess, meeting the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist in the process (despite the famous group not even being aware of his existence under Raiga's cloak). Raiga then carried him on his back, allowing Ranmaru to see the outside world.

Not long afterward, Raiga arrived in the course of a mission, and was planning on killing Ranmaru, but Ranmaru revealed his ability and his perception of the sorrow within Raiga. Ranmaru became very lonely after a while. The villagers realised that he was abnormal and stopped feeding him. One day, he used his kekkei genkai, and accidentally revealed witnessing an injury that he otherwise could not have seen. Ranmaru grew up with a weak body, but the farmers living near him gave him food to survive.
