Sadai

Encased in his armored disguise, Sadai looms as a large, oddly puppet-like figure with a toothless mouth, clad in the same raised-collar hooded uniform as his subordinates. Stripped of that shell, his real self is a good-looking, brown-haired man in a sleeveless shirt.

Sadai shows a taunting, cruel side in battle, needling Sasuke over Itachi and the fall of the Uchiha and dismissing him as weak. That bravado deserts him once the fight turns against him, and he is reduced to begging for mercy under Sasuke's assault.

A mercenary and rogue ninja, Sadai crossed into the Land of Fire on a job to kidnap Naho, and during the Third Shinobi World War he and his band had once tangled with members of the Uchiha clan. He fights with real athleticism, fast and agile with taijutsu strong enough to briefly get the better of Sasuke and force out his Sharingan. His true specialty is Earth Release: he can churn the ground into quicksand to pin a target, raise a wall of earth to shield himself, and sink in and out of solid rock unseen. He can also sheathe himself in a stone armor that transforms his look, shrugs off most attacks, and can be reshaped into a weapon, though its bulk costs him some speed. When his group waylaid Naruto, Sakura, and Naho, Naruto's shadow clones and Rasengan proved useless against that armor, and he seized the trio. Sasuke then arrived to fight him, and finding taijutsu insufficient, burned the armor away with a Great Fireball to expose the man beneath. A Chidori settled the duel, after which an enraged Sasuke beat him further for his jabs about Itachi and the Uchiha's ruin, stopping only when Kakashi reminded him they needed Sadai alive for questioning.
