Sydonay Uzumaki

"The Will of Fire is the "lynchpin" of the Shinobi World. While it has different names, it serves as the foundation for aspiring dreams. Without the existence of the lynchpin, the Shinobi World would split. If the lynchpin is lost, then everything will all easily crumble. That is the way the world is." "That is the theory of the vanquished! Victors must always speak of the way the world should be, not the way it is!"

Sydonay Uzumaki (渦巻千変, Uzumaki Sydonay; literally "commander of the whirlpools") is the major antagonist of the series. While masked, he poses under the guise of Kaname (要, Kaname; literally "vital point"). While remaining one of the greatest mysteries, it appears that Sydonay is the one responsible for orchestrating many of the shinobi world's disasters; such as Madara Uchiha's uprising, the Kyūbi attack, and the events that transpired. His true plans remain shrouded in mystery, as they involve an item known as the Psalm of Grand Order.

Appearance
Fitting his villain role in the series, Sydonay has long black hair that is kept combed (being quite unusual for an Uzumaki clan member), and behind his ears. He is generally tall, and has royal earpieces in both ears, a symbol of his former royal heritage. His eyes were also much different than his niece's, being dark lavender as opposed to blue; possibly implying opposite personalities of the two. In reference to his royal lineage, Sydonay is seen wearing a very formal hanfu; a silk robe with a purpled-lined blue japanese haori over it. In his first appearance, and many other times as well, he is seen wearing a simple yellow shenyi with a snow-white mantle around the clavicle area. He is also shown to be wearing a rather complex mask to hide his appearance, in order to carry his actions out discretely.
