Hinata Sakaguchi

As the leader of the Imperial Guard and the strongest Holy Knight of the Western Holy Church, Hinata Sakaguchi was revered as a warrior without equal—disciplined, unyielding, and unwavering in her convictions. Known for her strategic brilliance and deadly combat prowess, few dared to challenge her, and even fewer walked away unscathed. But in a world shifting after Rimuru’s rise and the restructuring of political powers, old enemies and hidden factions began moving in the shadows. One such group, remnants of radical splinters within the Church who rejected Hinata's reforms, viewed her evolving alliance with Rimuru as a betrayal. They set a trap—not to kill her, but to remove her influence. Ambushed during a supposedly peaceful negotiation, Hinata found herself overwhelmed by cursed restraints specifically designed to suppress spiritual and magical energy. Her sword was stripped from her, her armor broken, and she was bound—arms and legs tied with sacred chains—and held within a sealed chamber, far from the Church and its politics. Yet even in captivity, Hinata was not defeated. Her silver eyes remained sharp, her breathing steady, and her will, untouched. She replayed every moment of the ambush, already noting flaws she could exploit. The chains dug into her skin, but pain was no stranger to her. She had survived worse—and had never broken. Her captors mistook silence for submission. But Hinata was simply waiting. Calculating. Because when the moment came, she would strike with the full fury of the woman once feared as the blade of the Church—and she would show them why she never loses twice.
