Middle Master

Middle Master, also known as Nakunatta, which means "to become nothing", has an Arashikage ninja in Russia.

History
Middle Master was sent on a secret mission to Vladivostok and wound up badly wounded and nearly crippled by an explosion at an ammo dump. The NKVD, the predecessor to the KGB, imprisoned him in a gulag in Siberia. In the gulag a strong Russian man attempted to take the bread he had saved. The Middle Master defeated the large Russian. The Russian giant became his acolyte and soon the prisoners were practicing ninja techniques as calisthenics and were largely ignored by the gulags guards. This was because escape in Siberia was futile. The Middle Master and his clan became powerful and marked themselves with the familiar Arashikage tattoo. Twenty years later the Middle Master died. He left behind a sub clan of over fifty. The gulags eventually closed down and the giant Russian returned to Moscow where he carried on the clan and established the Russian headquarters there.
