Yagura was a shinobi from Kirigakure and the host of the Three-Tailed Giant Turtle. When the Three-Tails was captured by Akatsuki, it had no host and roamed out in the wild. Why the beast was removed from this jinchūriki is unknown.  Because Yūkimaru has some control over the Three-Tails, and because he has some resemblance to this jinchūriki, it is speculated that they have some connection to each other, however Yūkimaru is a anime-only character that does not appear in the manga.

Naruto: Shippuuden is the continuation of the original animated TV series Naruto. The story revolves around an older and slightly more matured Uzumaki Naruto and his quest to save his friend Uchiha Sasuke from the grips of the snake-like Shinobi, Orochimaru. After 2 and a half years Naruto finally returns to his village of Konoha, and sets about putting his ambitions to work, though it will not be easy, as he has amassed a few (more dangerous) enemies, in the likes of the shinobi organization; Akatsuki.
