Kannon, is a robot created by Deki Mezamashī of Otogakure R&D Team.
Background[]

Deki tests the Neural Interface
Kannon was originally created as a highly powerful soldier designed to be the ultimate weapon. But what truly set Kannon apart was its control mechanism: a Neural Interface that allowed a human operator to pilot it with their mind. The Neural Interface was a device crafted with intricate seals and advanced technology. Once placed on the operator's head, it formed a direct link between their brain and Kannon's systems. Through this bond, the operator could control Kannon as if it were their own body, unleashing its immense power and precision. However, when it became clear that Kannon's capabilities were far beyond what Otogakure had anticipated, it was deactivated.
In Nohkan Gaiden: Ten Directions, K.O.E, eventually deduces that the greatest threat to the stability of the world is the Ōtsutsuki clan, whose influence is deeply tied to chakra manipulation. Rather than simply opposing the Ōtsutsuki, K.O.E’s solution is to eliminate humanity's reliance on chakra altogether by advancing the world technologically, ensuring that chakra-based powers are no longer central to society’s structure. K.O.E, in pursuit of this vision, breaks away from its creator, making a rogue decision to actively fight back against any Ōtsutsuki influences.

Arikurin's Bingo Book Entry
It builds a force of cyborgs and robots designed to hunt down and eliminate anything connected to the Ōtsutsuki. In a last-ditch effort to change the future and ensure the downfall of those who might resist K.O.E’s vision, Kannon is reactivated and sent back in time. Its mission: to eliminate a younger Arikurin Shiin, a key figure in the resistance against K.O.E and its mission to rid the world of chakra dependency.

Prologue[]
Nohkan Gaiden: Echoes from the Future[]

Arikurin protects his younger self
At the village's training grounds, Arikurin’s younger self, was oblivious to the looming danger. Trees in the distance splintered and cracked as Kannon, burst through the forest with mechanical precision. His glowing red eyes locked onto the boy as his metallic voice echoed coldly, “Target acquired.” Before Kannon could take another step, the elder Arikurin landed between them in a blur of rainbow light, his sword humming with sound-infused chakra. With a single sharp whistle, a dome of shimmering energy expanded outward, shielding the young boy. the elder Arikurin grabbed his younger self and dashed away toward Konoha from Kannon.
