Gozu was the complete opposite of his hot-tempered brother — he acted judiciously and cool-headedly, preferring not to give in to emotions. In battle, he maintained calm and composure, not allowing rage to cloud his mind. It was he who usually set the pace of their joint attacks and coordinated the pair's actions. Despite his loyalty to Zabuza and willingness to do dirty work, he was not a fanatic and soberly assessed the situation. He treated enemies without personal hatred, but also without a drop of pity — simply as a target to be eliminated. His patience and self-control made him a dangerous opponent, capable of lying in ambush for hours.
