Mozuno Hayanie (鑓, The Impaler) is a freelance assassin that ventures through the land, without a true name to be called, or any infamous title held - he is regarded as simply: The Impaler, for his method of slaying his targets. While his name nor abilities are held in high regard, one action has become infamous over the last year, an event known as the "Slaughterhouse of Kirigakure". A closed investigation, the case involving the deaths of key political figures that held high standing with the military and all relations thereof. The only trace of evidence tracing to the Impaler, was his alleged methodology - his name now known by the Mist, and a bounty placed on his head.
