Ozen (お膳, Ozen) is an S-rank Missing-nin, former member of the Hyūga Clan and former shinobi of Konohagakure and currently the most wanted shinobi in Konohagakure's history. 
After being outed as an accomplice of Orochimaru and the one responsible for manipulating events causing the death of the First and Second Hokage Ozen fled and went into hiding where she currently remains. Ozen is also the cause for most of the atrocities caused in the world. 
==Personality==
Ozen is a sadistic and possibly insane shinobi who enjoys watching the life fade from her victims, claiming that it makes her "feel the weight of her own life"; a warped mindset that seems to have originated from having been sexually taken advantage of when she was just a child. She can skilfully hide her true nature and appearance in public by taking on disguises. 
Ozen is a manipulator who uses her charisma to befriend others before taking advantage of their weakness to trick them, all whilst denying any blame under the pretense of not doing the deeds herself. Because of this Naruto Uzumaki describes her as "worse than a murderer", calling her an "instigator who refuses to get her hands dirty".
Her true nature is far darker than anyone suspects. Ruthless and determined, Ozen has long shed the inhibitions that once tethered her to a more honourable path. Her disciplined training, combined with the things she endured when she was a child, fuelled her transformation into someone who sees the world through a lens of survival and dominance. She views emotions like guilt and remorse as weaknesses, discarding them in favor of ambition. Ozen is willing to betray, manipulate, or even destroy those who stand in her way, all while maintaining her carefully curated image
Despite her insane, heinous, and downright disgusting actions, Ozen is fully aware of the extent of her depravity she doesn't attempt to justify or hide her cruel behaviour but instead embraces it with a disturbing calmness, acknowledging her moral corruption without remorse.
==Appearance ==
Ozen is a striking young woman whose appearance embodies both her delicate nature and the quiet strength that lies beneath the surface. She possesses the signature pale, featureless eyes, a defining trait of the Byakugan. These eyes, which glow faintly when activated, not only enhance her vision but also symbolize the powerful lineage she comes from. When her Byakugan is in use, the soft, ethereal glow of her eyes adds a haunting yet captivating aura to her presence.
Her long, flowing black hair is another defining feature, cascading gracefully down her back like a waterfall of midnight silk. The strands are smooth and well-maintained, reflecting her traditional upbringing. Though mostly worn loose, a few shorter strands frame her delicate face, drawing attention to her pale complexion. This ethereal paleness, almost ghostly in its softness, serves as a reminder of the time she has spent hiding in the shadows. It also enhances the blush that so often rises to her cheeks—especially in moments of anxiety, shyness, or embarrassment—making her appear as though she’s perpetually on the verge of retreating into herself.
Her outfit is simple yet practical, designed with the demands of her life on the run in mind. She typically wears a blue off-shoulder dress, tightly wrapped around her slender frame to allow for unrestricted movement, whether in combat or while fleeing danger. The dress, though plain, carries a subtle elegance that reflects her former life. The color blue, a serene yet somber hue, mirrors the conflicting emotions she carries—calm on the outside, turbulent within.
Her arms, however, tell a different story. Wrapped in bandages from wrist to elbow, they are symbolic of both the physical and emotional wounds she carries. The bandages are a form of self-protection, concealing the scars—whether from battles fought or moments of vulnerability endured—that have marked her journey. The tension in her hands, often folded together or held protectively near her chest, further reflects her defensive posture.
Despite her timid and often defensive body language, Ozen radiates a quiet, almost unspoken strength. The way she carries herself, though cautious, hints at the untapped potential she holds within—a potential that could transform her from a victim of circumstance into someone capable of reclaiming her life. Though Ozen may appear fragile at first glance, there is a depth to her presence, an inner resolve born from the hardships she has faced.
In moments of calm, when she allows herself to breathe, Ozen’s posture softens slightly, and the subtle grace she naturally possesses comes to the fore. It is in these rare moments that one can catch a glimpse of who she could be if freed from the weight of her guilt and fear—a woman of quiet but undeniable strength, waiting to be realized.
==Crimes & Atrocities==
* Manipulation of the Uchiha Massacre
* Ozen, a cunning and shadowy figure operating behind the scenes, played a pivotal role in the tragic downfall of the Uchiha Clan, a plot that would forever alter the course of Konoha's history. Her objective was not only to destabilize Konoha but also to exploit the vulnerabilities within its power structure, sowing discord and mistrust among key players for her own benefit.
* Controlling Danzo Shimura
* Ozen, an elusive master of psychological manipulation, skilfully turned Danzo Shimura into her unwitting puppet by preying on his deepest fears and ambitions. Known for his obsession with Konoha's security and his belief in the necessity of brutal methods to ensure peace, Danzo was a prime target for Ozen's machinations. By tapping into his paranoia and desire for control, she masterfully guided him toward actions that served her agenda, all while making him believe he was acting in the village's best interest.
* Murder of the First and Second Hokage
* Ozen's involvement in the assassinations of the First and Second Hokage was a masterstroke of her manipulation and long-term ambition to destabilize Konoha. Operating from the shadows, she orchestrated these events through subtle manipulation, exploiting the weaknesses of those around her, and ensuring that the village’s greatest protectors would fall without ever knowing who had truly engineered their demise.
* Instigating the Second Shinobi World War
* Ozen, operating as a master manipulator behind the scenes, was one of the unseen architects of the Second Shinobi World War, a conflict that would engulf the major Hidden Villages and claim thousands of lives. Using her formidable charisma and keen understanding of human nature, she skilfully influenced key political and military figures from multiple villages, sowing seeds of discord and mistrust that ultimately ignited the war. While she remained in the shadows, her actions played a pivotal role in destabilizing the fragile peace that had existed between the villages.
* Engineering the Death of Hizashi Hyūga
* Ozen's manipulation of the tragic events that led to Hizashi Hyūga’s sacrifice was yet another example of her ability to subtly influence powerful figures and orchestrate devastating outcomes. In this case, Ozen took advantage of the long-standing tensions between Konoha and Kumogakure, exploiting both villages' fragile diplomacy and internal dynamics to bring about a situation where Hizashi would be forced to sacrifice his life in the name of preserving the Hyūga Clan’s "honor."
* Destruction of Uzushio
* Ozen's hidden role in the destruction of Uzushiogakure, the village of the Uzumaki Clan, was one of her most devastating and strategic acts of manipulation. By orchestrating the downfall of this powerful ally of Konoha, she not only ensured the near-eradication of the Uzumaki Clan but also crippled Konoha’s expertise in sealing techniques—a critical advantage that had long secured the village's strength. Ozen’s master plan was to eliminate the Uzumaki Clan, known for their unparalleled proficiency in fūinjutsu (sealing techniques), thus weakening Konoha’s military and political power while destabilizing its alliances.
* Turning Orochimaru into a Criminal
* Ozen, ever the manipulative strategist, played a critical role in shaping the early dark ambitions of Orochimaru, one of Konoha's most notorious renegade ninjas. As one of his earliest collaborators, she recognized Orochimaru's hunger for knowledge and power, and used her influence to subtly encourage his descent into darkness. Her involvement was key to pushing him toward embracing the taboo pursuit of immortality and unethical experimentation, all in the name of achieving what he believed was true mastery over life and death.
* Manipulation of Akatsuki
* Ozen’s clandestine dealings with the early Akatsuki organization were a critical aspect of her broader strategy to manipulate and destabilize the shinobi world.

She understood the motivations driving these young idealists, who sought to create a “world of peace through destruction,” and used their fervour to further her own agenda.
* Manipulating Madara Uchiha
* Ozen’s role in the downfall of Madara Uchiha and the subsequent development of his Eye of the Moon Plan was a crucial chapter in her long history of manipulation and subterfuge. Recognizing Madara’s deep grievances with Konoha and his growing disillusionment with the village's leadership, she strategically positioned herself as a source of support and insight, encouraging his departure from the village and furthering her own hidden agendas in the process.
* Manipulating Obito Uchiha
* Ozen’s cunning manipulation of Obito Uchiha was a crucial aspect of her broader strategy to cultivate chaos within the shinobi world. Understanding the deep trauma and anger that Obito harbored following the loss of his friends and the betrayal he felt from Konoha, Ozen seized the opportunity to steer him down a dark path, ultimately influencing his decisions regarding the Eye of the Moon Plan.
* Creating Internal Conflict in Sunagakure
* Ozen’s masterful manipulation of Sunagakure was a pivotal aspect of her broader scheme to destabilize the shinobi world during a time of growing tension. By exploiting the existing vulnerabilities within the village's leadership, she created a climate of mistrust that ultimately led to internal strife and weakened Sunagakure's defences just before the Third Shinobi World War.
* Turning Neji Hyūga into a Weapon of Hate
* Ozen's subtle machinations played a significant role in transforming Neji Hyūga into a bitter and vengeful shinobi, nearly severing his ties with the Hyūga Clan and deepening his resentment toward his family's traditions. By manipulating Neji's understanding of his father's death and exploiting his feelings of inadequacy, she crafted a narrative that fueled his anger and drove him further into darkness.
* Corruption of Sasuke Uchiha
* Ozen’s influence on Sasuke Uchiha was a pivotal, albeit covert, factor in his descent into darkness. While Orochimaru played the role of his primary manipulator, Ozen operated in the shadows, subtly influencing Sasuke's emotions and feeding into his deep-seated hatred for Konoha. She recognized that Sasuke's intense feelings of loss and betrayal, stemming from the massacre of his clan, made him particularly susceptible to manipulation.
* Sabotaging the Chūnin Exams
* Ozen’s covert involvement during the Chūnin Exams was a masterclass in manipulation, as she played both sides to ensure the invasion of Konoha by Orochimaru and Sunagakure unfolded without a hitch. By secretly feeding critical information to both parties, she effectively orchestrated a catastrophic event that would lead to chaos, destruction, and the deaths of many innocent shinobi and civilians.
* Massacres in Small Villages
* Ozen's orchestration of the destruction of several small villages along the borders of the Land of Fire was a calculated move to destabilize Konoha's influence in the region and weaken its political alliances. By systematically eliminating these villages and their inhabitants, she aimed to create an atmosphere of fear and unrest that would ripple through neighboring territories, making them wary of Konoha and its military strength.
* Creating tension Between the Daimyō and the Hokage
* Ozen’s covert machinations to destabilize the relationship between the Fire Daimyō and the Hokage were a critical part of her overarching strategy to undermine Konoha's political stability. Recognizing the importance of this alliance for the village's power and influence, she set in motion a plan designed to create doubt and suspicion within the ruling class, ultimately weakening Konoha's political position.
* Undermining the Alliance Between Konoha and Kirigakure
* Ozen's adept use of deception to drive a wedge between Konoha and Kirigakure exemplified her strategic manipulation of inter-village relations, a critical component of her broader goal to foster chaos in the shinobi world. By secretly sending false intelligence to both villages, she engineered a series of misunderstandings and escalations that nearly culminated in open conflict.
* Poisoning Iwagakure’s Water Supply
* Ozen's calculated act of poisoning Iwagakure's water supply was a chilling demonstration of her ability to orchestrate chaos and manipulate power dynamics among the shinobi villages. By covertly introducing a toxic substance into their water, she sowed the seeds of mass hysteria and illness, creating an environment of fear and uncertainty within the village.
* Mass Kidnapping of Academy Students
* Ozen’s orchestration of the kidnapping of promising academy students from Konoha and other villages marked a particularly sinister chapter in her manipulative schemes. By targeting the youth—who represented the future of their respective villages—she aimed to create not only chaos but also long-lasting psychological scars that would undermine the very fabric of shinobi society.
* Manipulating the Death of the Third Kazekage
* Ozen’s subtle yet impactful role in the mysterious disappearance of the Third Kazekage showcased her mastery of manipulation and intrigue within the world of shinobi politics. By deftly exploiting the growing dissatisfaction and ambition of Sasori, a talented rogue ninja and former member of Sunagakure, she orchestrated a series of events that ultimately led to the Kazekage's untimely death.
* Triggering the Battle of Kannabi Bridge
* Ozen's covert involvement in the leaking of Konoha's plans to destroy Kannabi Bridge was a pivotal moment during the Third Shinobi World War, highlighting her talent for deception and manipulation in pursuit of chaos. Understanding the strategic importance of the bridge, Ozen orchestrated events that would ensure the plans fell into enemy hands, resulting in a devastating confrontation that claimed the lives of many Konoha shinobi.
* Fostering Danzo’s Anbu "Root" Organization
* Ozen’s strategic support for Danzo Shimura in establishing his secret Root organization within the Anbu was a significant turning point in Konoha’s history, allowing her to further her agenda of chaos and manipulation in the shinobi world. By subtly pushing Danzo towards militaristic control and advocating for secretive policies, she laid the groundwork for an organization that would be responsible for numerous assassinations, unethical experiments, and acts that would ultimately tarnish Konoha’s reputation.
* Assisting Orochimaru in Human Experimentation

By intricately weaving her influence into the circumstances surrounding the Nine-Tails’ rampage, she ensured that Konoha would be left vulnerable without its strongest protector.
* Genocide of the Small Village of Kagerō
* Ozen’s orchestration of the genocide of the small village of Kagerō was a coldly calculated act driven by her desire to acquire an ancient scroll containing powerful techniques she sought. Understanding the significance of this scroll, which held knowledge that could enhance her own manipulation and control, she devised a brutal plan to erase the village and secure the secrets it housed.
* Causing the Downfall of Amegakure
* Ozen's role in fuelling the internal strife within Amegakure during the civil war between Hanzō and Pain was a masterclass in manipulation, showcasing her ability to exploit conflict for her own gain. By strategically providing resources and support to both factions, she ensured that they would weaken each other while allowing her to maintain control over critical assets within the village.
==History==
Born into the prestigious Hyūga Clan, Ozen was initially seen as a bright, promising young prodigy. However, beneath the serene and disciplined exterior of the Hyūga, her early years were marred by an unspeakable trauma. At a tender age, she was sexually abused by an elder of the family, an event that shattered her innocence and planted the seeds of her sadism and detachment from morality. The experience left her feeling helpless and powerless, causing her to associate life with a series of struggles for control. This began to twist her view of the world, leading her to equate power with survival and suffering with clarity.
As a member of the Hyūga, Ozen was subjected to rigorous and unforgiving training. The clan's values of honor, discipline, and pride clashed violently with the festering darkness inside her. Though she excelled in her studies, mastering the Gentle Fist technique and the Byakugan with exceptional skill, she secretly began to distance herself from her family’s ideals.
Her trauma turned into a hunger for control over others, and she soon realized that her Hyūga training alone would not satisfy that need. She began to manipulate her peers, honing her ability to deceive, gaslight, and exploit others emotionally. Ozen quickly learned to put on a façade of charm, becoming skilled at hiding her true nature, presenting herself as trustworthy and loyal to those around her. But behind that mask, she grew increasingly obsessed with exerting power over others—emotionally, mentally, and physically.
Ozen’s descent into true sadism reached its peak when she took her first life during a mission as a young kunoichi. It was a moment of revelation for her, one that filled her not with guilt or regret, but with a profound sense of power. Watching the life drain from her victim made her feel alive for the first time since her childhood trauma. It was in that moment that she realized she had become something more than just a shinobi—she had found a way to feel again, through the suffering of others. This gave her a twisted sense of peace, as if by witnessing death, she was gaining a deeper understanding of her own existence.
From that point onward, Ozen embraced the darkest parts of herself, rejecting emotions like guilt or compassion. She saw them as weaknesses, burdens that would only drag her down in a world she now viewed through the lens of survival and dominance. With every act of cruelty, her mind fractured further, but she welcomed the chaos. She no longer cared for moral codes, and the lines between right and wrong blurred completely. She found solace in her manipulation and violence, and the more she indulged, the less connected she felt to her human side.
As Ozen grew in power, she became a master of deception. She learned to use her beauty, intelligence, and charisma to manipulate and destroy without ever lifting a finger. Her favorite tactic became befriending her targets, gaining their trust, only to betray them when they were most vulnerable. Her victims would often be left destroyed—both physically and emotionally—by her machinations, while she remained untouched and outwardly innocent.
Naruto, having encountered her manipulative ways, branded her "worse than a murderer" because of her refusal to get her hands dirty. She would incite chaos and violence, pulling the strings from behind the scenes, reveling in the destruction she caused without needing to physically act.
Ozen’s ultimate ambition is power, and she harbors a desire to rise to a position where she can control the fate of others on a much larger scale. However, unlike other villains who seek power through brute force or conquest, Ozen prefers to let others destroy themselves while she watches from the shadows, ensuring her hands remain clean and her reputation intact. She despises weakness in others and takes pleasure in manipulating people to show their true colors, exposing their vulnerabilities.
Ozen’s relationship with her clan is strained, though on the surface, it appears cordial. She respects their abilities and the power of the Byakugan, but she sees their honor and traditions as weaknesses—things that held her back from becoming her true self. In her eyes, the clan’s adherence to their rigid values is a form of self-deception. Ozen still maintains ties with the Hyūga, but she uses them more for her own benefit than out of any loyalty.
Her ability to flawlessly switch between her public persona of the disciplined Hyūga and her true, sadistic self is what makes her so dangerous. She can walk among her clan, her village, and the ninja world, hiding in plain sight as she plots her next move.
Ozen operates as a rogue shinobi, though she keeps ties with various hidden villages to maintain her cover. She enjoys walking the fine line between ally and enemy, preferring to let others believe she is on their side while she subtly manipulates events in her favor. Whether her next victim is an enemy shinobi or an unsuspecting ally, it matters little to her—as long as they fall under her control, they are just another pawn in her game.
Her ultimate goal remains shrouded in mystery. Some believe she is seeking a way to ascend beyond even the Kage, while others whisper that she might be driven purely by the thrill of seeing how far she can push others before they break. Regardless of her motivations, Ozen continues to pose a dangerous and unpredictable threat to all who encounter her. Those who dare to cross her path often never realize the depths of her cruelty until it is far too late.
Despite the monstrous acts she commits, Ozen does not delude herself with justifications. She is fully aware of the darkness within her, acknowledging her cruelty with a chilling calmness. To her, the world is a battlefield of survival, and in her mind, she has long since discarded the shackles of morality. In a world of shinobi who fight for honor, peace, and justice, Ozen stands apart as a chilling force of manipulation and destruction, embracing her depravity without remorse.
