Ni's Dogs
CharacterNi's Dogs are a pair of hulking hound-like summons commanded by the kunoichi Ni in Naruto Shippūden the Movie: The Will of Fire. Armoured and bristling with spear launchers, they serve as her frontline attackers against the Konoha ninja.
Appearance
These are enormous grey-blue canines marked by red fur across their muzzles and trailing long tails. Grey plating covers their bodies, and mounted on each back is an apparatus loaded with spear-shaped arms. Sharp points jut from their paws, and in place of ordinary whiskers they sport long, needle-like spikes.
Abilities
Each dog carries a brace of spear-like armaments on its back that it can fire outward at a target. The projectiles travel at blistering speed and are tough enough to meet one of Kakashi's Lightning Cutter strikes head-on and come away undamaged.
