History
"I won't let you down, sir."

- Mondo

Mondo was a ninja originating from Rokkaku Hamlet. Regarded as a senior ninja in comparison to Sasuke and Kasumi, Mondo held the rank of middle-ranked chūnin. However, his potential for advancement to high-ranked jōnin was constrained by his bloodline. Despite this limitation, Mondo earned the trust of Hanzo, who esteemed his capabilities.

During the Dunan Unification War, Mondo received orders from Hanzo to provide assistance to the leader of the New State Army, leading to his integration into the force. Mondo occasionally displayed a lighthearted aspect of his personality, as evidenced by his teasing of Sasuke concerning his affections for Kasumi. This playful demeanor contrasted his typically composed and serious disposition.

Mondo, while experienced and skillful, consistently dedicated substantial daily effort to honing his speed and jumping prowess. Frequent training sessions with Kasumi also underscored his commitment. Mondo's combat style centered around a claw weapon affixed to his right hand.

A pivotal contribution occurred during the battle at South Window Principality, during which Mondo undertook a covert mission within the Highland Army camp. His participation contributed to the successful rescue of the captured General Ridley Wizen.

While Mondo encountered some challenges adapting to a life beyond Rokkaku, such as lodging at the New State Army Headquarters in a bed rather than a futon, he found contentment in the army's training facility, the castle's dojo.

Following the culmination of the Dunan Unification War, Mondo returned to Rokkaku, his sense of duty fulfilled.
