#but at least he could be satisfied knowing he kept many many normal swordsmen safe from a lot of typical danger they might face

I'd like to think that a Kakushi, being mindful of the needs of the Corp, was keen to notice the young new rising star Himejima beefing up so quickly that he needed uniforms replaced often. Himejima often would have to remove the upper portion of the uniform in order to use his techniques efficiently, even in cold weather. Young Himejima's response was to train himself to not be bothered by the cold, but this Kakushi could not stand for this and promised to make a special uniform Himejima could wear while fighting and still have room to grow into.

It took some extra time and he was proud of it, but then when Himejima put it on, it turned out it was snug after all. That was a frustrating, but the uniform could be recycled later for some other hefty guy, so he set to work on another one. He wound up having to sew odd pieces of fabric together to try to make it wide enough, but when Himejima tried it on, it bunched and sagged in odd places while being tight in others. Himejima assured him that he shouldn't trouble himself, but this Kakushi refused to accept defeat and swore he would clothe this giant boy one way or another.

If their bolts of fabric weren't wide enough, then he was just going to have to construct a wider loom. In the midst of this construction process he considered various improvements to the material's flexibility and sturdiness, and suitability for keeping the swordsmen comfortable in a wide range of weather.

It took a while, and in that time Himejima had beefed up so much that no one had a prayer of coming close to him in size. Everyone knew he was going to be declared a Pillar any day now, and this Kakushi, having just finished his work, was proud to be able to let this guy present himself in front of Oyakata-sama while looking his best, wearing the only five-button uniform in use in the Corp.

He presented it to Himejima, who put it on, and then the top three buttons sprang off, leaving the specially made uniform open and flapping in the wind. Himejima could sense the Kakushi's anguish before he heard the tortured scream and knees slamming to the ground.

"It's alright," the soon-to-be Pillar cried with sympathy, "I'll just wear it like this."
