Jūgo (重吾, Jūgo) is a shinobi from an unnamed clan, who was held captive by Orochimaru. He is now a member of Sasuke Uchiha's group Taka.
Personality
Jūgo is an individual who has two separate personalities. Jūgo normally appears as a calm, gentle person when around people, however, during random times, he develops an uncontrollable rage and becomes bloodthirsty. He also seems to be very loyal to Sasuke, seeing as how he is the only one capable of suppressing his outbursts using the Sharingan. Jūgo also seems to be a problem solver, as shown when he tried to figure out ways to increase Taka's teamwork and fix Sasuke and Itachi's relationship.
Appearance
Jūgo is a tall, muscular young man who has spiky orange hair, red-orange eyes and a usually calm face. However, when affected by his murderous side, his skin turns dark, his irides becomes a pale yellow colour while his sclerae turns black, and he grows various weapons and appendages to suit his battle combat situation, as well as having a deranged look.
Abilities
Jūgo is considered to be a powerful ninja as Sasuke took him to help him get his revenge on Itachi. Jūgo also has the ability to understand and communicate with birds. [1]
Sage Transformation
According to the Naruto series, Jūgo possesses the ability known as Sage Transformation which allows him to use the natural energy he absorbs around him to transform his body. After this process is done, he can change his form to whatever the situation calls for. However, the side effects after absorbing the natural energy is surges of rage.
Jūgo can create jet booster-like arms to increase his attacking power and a massive axe blade to counter blades such as Kubikiribōchō. If he fully transforms, Jūgo gains a massive boost in power but loses his senses to his murderous side. When transforming, Jūgo's skin turns dark and his sclera turn black. He also gains a black stripe running from the middle of his forehead and down the bridge of his nose.
