Personality
Due to his young age, Kiyomaru is very immature. While departing to Kotaku, Kiyomaru spoke rudely to one of his superiors and childishly did as he pleased, such as cutting one of the ninjas mask to prove his strength and ordered one ninja to kill themselves to prove their loyalty. Kiyomaru is also very arrogant, as he declared that he was far superior to everyone that came along on the mission and hates it when people look down on him for not having a ranking.

Hearing this statement, Kiyomaru orders the ninja to kill himself to proof his loyalty. He becomes shocked to see the ninja following his orders and kills himself.
