Boar-Masked Anbu Member
CharacterA Konohagakure Anbu captain known by his boar-styled mask. Featured mostly in anime material, he aids the Third Hokage on secret operations, guards the village through the Chunin Exams, and battles Pain's summons during the invasion.
Appearance
A short ponytail of brown hair sits above this captain's boar mask, which carries three marks at its top and bottom along with further lines ringing the mouth and eye-holes. He wears a white cloak with black trousers, black sandals, and wrapping around the right leg. During Part I he appeared instead in the regular Anbu uniform with a sword across his back.
Abilities
His sword marks him as a swordsman, and his ninjutsu ranges from a paralysis technique that can subdue large animals to the Shadow Clone Technique. His real specialty is Earth Release, which he pairs with space-time jutsu to drop enormous slabs of earth onto a target. The anime expands this into moving unseen through the ground and opening a portal overhead to rain trapping mud on his foes.
