Chūshiki

"Looks like your intention was flawed from the start Hagoromo-sensei. Oh well, they must be punished in the same way as I was, yes? Complete and utter deprivation. Do not worry, Hagoromo-sensei. I will grant them an even deeper hopelessness."

- Chūshiki reminiscing Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki due to current events.

Chūshiki (虫食, Chūshiki) is an ancient being whose existence is better regarded as Forgotten (忘れ物, Wasuremono). During the time period in which he truly lived, Chūshiki was a direct student to Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki whom, as a result of his talent, was given a small portion of the power that contained the Sage's "Ideals" (理想, Risō), leading him to awaken the Rinnegan.

Chūshiki was soon disillusioned with the world and wished to punish sinners by sending them to Limbo. Hagoromo disagreed with his intentions and sealed the full power of his Rinnegan, prior to expelling him into the very dimension itself so that he could observe the growth of humanity. After centuries of observing humanity and noticing nothing had changed, besides the fact that few could enter his territory, Chūshiki's ambition to punish humanity resurfaced. He now wanders the world with the intent of imparting his ideals to those with the necessary power, enabling him to once again exist in the physical realm and bring about humanity's deserved punishment.
