Shuten

"Atonement is for all people. This is our atonement, Kishō. I hope you understand that."

- Shuten to Kishō Hōsōshi on a daily basis.

Shuten (手天, Shuten), currently recognized as the Raincloud (雨雲, Amegumo) of Amegakure as well as the Logistical Fourth Amekage (後方四代目雨影, Kōhō Yondaime Amekage; Literally meaning "Fourth Rain Shadow of the Rear") due to his superior being a, in Shuten's own words, "lazy ass" (懶穴, Ranketsu). In addition to this, he acts as the second-in-command of Higure and therefore is politically the second-most powerful member of Amegakure besides his leader.

Prior to achieving these positions, Shuten was a young man whose family ran away from the purge of Kekkei Genkai within Kirigakure. Following his growth, Shuten was given knowledge of his cousin, Kishō Hōsōshi and set out in order to make the man feel atonement for his crimes. However, in an ironic twist of fate, Shuten would end up "following" his cousin — realistically it's the other way around — and established Higure, before turning it into a mercenary organization and labeling himself The Hawk (鷹, Taka). In addition to this, his mastery over all achievable nature transformations has lead him to become a highly skilled Shinobi in his own right, now known as Shuten of the Five Phases (五象の手天, Gozō no Shuten; Literally meaning "Heavenly Hand of the Five Phenomena").
