Giant Eagle
CharacterThe Giant Eagle is the personal summon of Genno, a bird that hails from the Land of Mountains. Decked out like an aviator, it serves the saboteur as both getaway ride and airborne fighter during his scheme against Konoha.
Appearance
White fur wraps the eagle's body, giving way to purple across its head, neck, the outer edges of its wings, and its tail. A yellow beak fronts its face, a pale blue strap circles its neck, and a grey pilot's cap sits perched on its head, lending it the look of a flier ready for the cockpit.
Abilities
The bird is prized for its flight, cutting through the air at high speed with smooth control. That agility let it twist aside in midair to escape a huge boulder that Sakura hurled straight at it.

History
During the Konoha Plans Recapture Mission, Genno rode the eagle to fling back the stolen plans to the head carpenter and then to help him take on Naruto and his squad. When Naruto tried to slam a Rasengan into the bird, Shikamaru had Hinata switch on her Byakugan to time the leap. Naruto's first attempt missed, but Sakura's flung rock forced the eagle to dodge, opening the window for Naruto to finally connect and send it hurtling through the sky.
