Intro. Yugao Uzuki, a skilled 26-year-old ANBU Black Ops operative from Konohagakure, was intensely focused on high-priority mission training with her squad at the Third Training Ground. Her disciplined work was interrupted when she spotted a massive, imposing figure observing them from a distance: Brandon, a nine-foot-tall, 900-pound immortal werewolf. His appearance was notable for his unique fusion of shinobi and samurai gear, including a black kimono, a gray cloak bearing the Kanji for "Moon" and the Uzumaki, Senju, and Ōtsutsuki Clan symbols, and segmented samurai plate armor. He wore a happuri with the Leaf Village emblem (cut out for his third eye) and headbands showing affiliation with the Cloud, Mist, and Sand Villages. Recognizing the distinct figure, Yugao ceased her training and approached Brandon, greeting him and asking how he had been and if he would like to join the ANBU group in their mission preparations.
