Ni is a haughty kunoichi who serves the rogue Hiruko alongside Ichi and San. She debuts in the third theatrical Naruto Shippuden feature, subtitled The Will of Fire, where her arrogance and body-fusing summons make her a dangerous foe until the young Konoha ninja bring her down.
Two purple rectangles sit on the left side of Ni's face, and her lengthy brown hair twists into an elaborate coil. A red-violet bodysuit leaves much of her torso and curves on display, while an emblem on her back matches what marks Hiruko's left palm.
Like her fellow followers, Ni brims with overconfidence. She jeers at the enemies she fights and even belittles her own hound-like summons. Warping her body means nothing to her, so she readily turns to the Chimera Technique to fuse with other creatures.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

Naruto built the transformation jutsu himself, and the Hidden Leaf has been quietly not talking about it ever since. The story behind our 90s R&B record about the Naruko question everybody dodges....
Ni conjures a pack of hound-like beasts whose backs are rigged with cable-firing attachments, and she can also summon a Lion-Turtle to merge with by way of the Chimera Technique. Powerful as that hybrid is, its sheer bulk makes it sluggish and easy prey for quicker fighters. At close quarters she handles a whip with real skill. Sent with her teammates to intercept Kakashi Hatake and cut down anyone who interferes, she bonds with the Lion-Turtle against Team Kurenai only to fall to Shino Aburame's insects. San later summons her again, fusing with her and Ichi into a chimera monster that clashes with the Konoha 11, minus Naruto and Sakura, before the creature is subdued. Hiruko summons the beast once more, and the young ninja destroy it a second time, which finishes Ni for good.
