Ginkaku

1. 1
   The Silver BrotherDebut Arc · Fourth Shinobi World War

   Younger of the infamous pair

   Ginkaku is the Silver to Kinkaku's Gold, the younger of a duo the Hidden Cloud could neither tame nor be rid of. The two fought as one, their powers built to overwhelm together.

   Two weeks in the fox

   The shared ordeal

   Swallowed by the Nine-Tails alongside his brother, Ginkaku survived two weeks in its stomach on the beast's flesh. He emerged carrying a portion of the fox's chakra, the same as Kinkaku.

3. 3
   The Sage's Treasured Tools

   Relics shared between two

   The brothers carry the five Treasured Tools tied to the Sage of Six Paths, splitting the relics between them. The same chakra that let them survive the fox lets them wield tools that would empty anyone else.

   Rogues of the Cloud

   Turning on their village

   Power without loyalty made the brothers a danger to their own. They turned against the Hidden Cloud and became rogues, their ambition larger than any allegiance.

5. 5
   The word that sealed him

   Undone by a single word

   Reincarnated for the Fourth Shinobi World War, Ginkaku is caught by the brothers' own trap. The rope draws out the word he speaks most, and the moment he says it, the Crimson Gourd pulls him in.

6. 6
   Sealed away

   Out before his brother

   With Ginkaku sealed inside the gourd, the pair is broken apart. Kinkaku fights on alone in a beast-cloak rage, but the Gold and Silver Brothers' partnership ends with a word.

Ginkaku draws on the same two wells as his brother: the Nine-Tails' chakra in his body and the Sage of Six Paths' Treasured Tools in the brothers' hands. Built for paired, overwhelming combat, the two share a sealing trap that almost no one escapes — though it was Ginkaku, in the end, who fell into it.
