Kamatari
CharacterKamatari is the giant weasel that Temari calls to the battlefield, a white-furred beast that swings an oversized sickle. Bound to her by contract, he answers the Summoning: Quick Beheading Dance and carves through anything in his path with speed no ordinary eye can follow.
Appearance
This summon takes the form of an enormous weasel cloaked in white fur, with a dark green patch shielding his left eye. Held in his grip is a curved blade nearly matching his own body in length.
Abilities
Temari brings him out by channeling the Summoning: Quick Beheading Dance through her Giant Folding Fan. Once loosed, he tears across the ground and shreds whatever stands before him, powerful enough to level an entire forest in a single pass. The instant he breaks into motion, he moves too fast for a person to track with the naked eye.
He arrives clutching a huge kama, ringed by smaller scythes and a lantern-like object marked with the character for scythe. In the manga, he lets out a roar before he strikes.
History
During the effort to bring back Sasuke, Temari calls on him to end her duel with the sound-user Tayuya, and he cuts her down in an instant, catching Shikamaru off guard. A later filler mission makes him the linchpin of Shikamaru's plan against Kujaku.
In the anime version of the Fourth Shinobi World War, Temari summons him to keep Chūkaku from releasing the Third Raikage and afterward to wreck Torune's insect clone. He also aids her against the Enlightened Ones in the Shikamaru Hiden novel, and appears in the first Shippūden film to help drive off the Ghost Army.
