Four Ninja Animal Warriors
CharacterThe Four Ninja Animal Warriors were a band of Konohagakure combat animals led by Condor, renowned for taijutsu skills sharp enough to give a squad of Leaf ninja real trouble.
Overview
The Four Ninja Animal Warriors, whose name literally reads as Four Noble Beast Warriors, were a group of Konohagakure ninja animals headed by Condor. Their name plays on the Japanese title for the Four Musketeers, giving the team a lighthearted twist on the classic quartet.
Role
Every member of the group was a gifted close-quarters fighter, relying on formidable taijutsu rather than ninjutsu. Their hand-to-hand prowess was enough to press the Leaf shinobi hard when the two sides came to blows, turning what might have looked like a simple animal roundup into a genuine struggle.
Notable Members
Alongside Condor, the roster held two Boxing Kangaroos and a Giant Anteater. Together they gave Naruto Uzumaki, Rock Lee, Shino Aburame and squad leader Kotetsu Hagane a hard time in their bouts. In the end each of the animals was beaten and Condor was taken captive by the Leaf ninja. Whether the kangaroos or the anteater shared Condor's ability to speak was never established.
