A Kirigakure missing-nin who threw in with Orochimaru, appearing in the OVA Naruto: The Cross Roads. A brutal Water Release specialist, he ambushes Team 7 in a bid to test Sasuke's strength.
Green eyes sit beneath dark violet markings, and two curved lines climb from the corners of his mouth into a grim, carved-looking grin. His short black hair is mostly hidden under a grey, shark-themed hood shaped like the creature's head, trailing a dorsal-fin flap down his back, with dark trousers below. His fingernails are strikingly long.
Kajika is fiercely devoted to Orochimaru, whom he reveres as the Wonderful One and longs to serve. He is also plainly sadistic, savoring a fight for its own sake, going so far as to lick his lips while trading blows with Sasuke.

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....
In battle Kajika pairs raw power with sharp instincts, seeing through disguises at a glance, striking hard enough to crater the ground and hurl foes through stone, and slipping past attacks even when smoke blinds him. His real strength lies in Water Release: he spins water clones, melts them down into volleys of ice darts and lashing tendrils, fires a one-handed Water Dragon Bullet, and unleashes near-solid jets of pressurized water that shatter rock.
He and his crew ambush Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura as they await Kakashi's return, part of a plot to abduct a man named Genmai and lure Team 7 so Orochimaru can gauge Sasuke's power. After dragging Sakura off to his hideout, Kajika is fooled when Naruto and Sasuke pose as his returning comrades, and he lets slip his master's true aim before Sasuke snares him in wire strings and Naruto's shadow clones overwhelm him. In a last effort to break loose and kill Sasuke, Kajika is possessed by Orochimaru; once their brief exchange ends and Orochimaru withdraws, his body bursts apart, killing him.
