Zakura

"And the stainless steel makes its mark once more."

- Zakura after a successful assassination Zakura (桜 (さくら), Cherry Blossom) is a Machias who hails from the far east, and subsequently, a ninja as a result of his place of origin, dealing primarily in assassination and spy work and espionage. He is also the teacher of many more ninjas, his most prized student being Oroku Zanba whom he still works with on occasion as a result. A Machias who has traveled the world countless times on many missions, Zakura gained a notorious reputation that quickly made him rise in the ranks of the Magic Council's "most wanted" list, due to his absurd win-lose ratio of assassinations. Known most obviously as the Machias Ninja (機械族忍び, Makiasu Shinobi), Zakura accepts work from anyone who can pay him, not caring much for how high or low the pay is, only the challenge of the job, wishing to challenge himself as much as possible.

Alternatively, he is feared as the Blur of the East (東の潤み, Higashi no Urumi), a title he gained in the east in his early days of his career, as a result of his quick and clean execution of his targets, which lead to the alias of Stainless Steel (不錆鋼, Fuseikō), Zakura's favourite title, due to his habit of such efficient killing that he barely leaves a mess behind, as well as a reference to his metallic body. And finally, White Fang (白い牙, Shiroi Kiba), a nod to his clear appearance and blades.

 * The entire reason for Zakura's creation is because the concept is basically "robot ninja".
