Setsuna is a shinobi from the Land of Demons who leads the Gang of Four beneath Yomi. Featured in Naruto Shippuden the Movie, this clever, showy fighter favors wind techniques and long-range strikes in the campaign to revive the demon Moryo.
Pale-skinned, Setsuna has light eyes and long blue hair. His white outfit bears the hexagram shared by the whole Gang of Four, worn with a pouched belt, black gloves, and martial artist footwear. Transformation reshapes his hair into three triangular tufts and paints two red squares from his upper forehead, one of them stretching down across his eyes.
Setsuna fights best at medium to long range, leaning on techniques and thrown weapons to hold enemies at a distance, and his aim stays sharp even against a moving target. He dabbles in puppetry too, once steering a puppet built to resemble Kusuna so he could mislead foes while dueling Neji. In close quarters he swings a pair of double-bladed sickles, cutting down plenty of Shion's guards with ease.
Yomi's dark chakra fuels his wind style, letting him conjure violent gusts and tornadoes that merge with his allies' flames into sweeping firestorms. At its height, his wind joins Shizuku's water to spawn a thunderstorm that hurls lightning across whole regions, though the effort empties both his borrowed and natural chakra fast.
Clever and fond of showing off, Setsuna serves on Yomi's squad during their mission to unseal the demon Moryo, and he takes a major role in slaying the guards at Moryo's prison. The team is later sent after Shion, the one priestess capable of halting the demon, but Naruto's intervention foils the assassination. A combined assault from the group nearly finishes Naruto, yet the fight exhausts all the extra chakra Yomi lent Setsuna, and he pulls back with his comrades.
In a following clash he stalls Neji with the Wind Release: Rotating Shuriken, though Neji sees through the ruse meant to draw him from Shion. During a fresh bid on Shion's life, Setsuna and Shizuku ravage the forest as a lightning-spewing storm, again burning through his borrowed chakra. Right after Kusuna dies and Sakura locates Shizuku, Rock Lee seizes the moment per Neji's plan and lands a crushing taijutsu blow. A toppling tree then claims Setsuna's life.

We ranked the six most popular women of Naruto from worst to first, and our number one is going to start a fight. The official poll got it wrong....

The transformation everyone knows, the follow-up question nobody would touch. Why we made a smooth R&B track about the golden glow Dragon Ball never talks about....

This Setsuna appears in Naruto Shippuden the Movie, where he leads the Gang of Four under Yomi in the plot to revive the demon Moryo.
The name Setsuna combines a Japanese word for moment or instant (刹那) with a term that can suggest something painful or trying (切ない, setsunai).
Setsuna favors wind style techniques and thrown weapons at medium to long range, wields a pair of double-bladed sickles up close, and can combine his borrowed chakra with allies' fire or water to create sweeping firestorms and lightning-charged storms.
Setsuna died after Rock Lee landed a crushing taijutsu blow once Setsuna's borrowed chakra ran out, and a toppling tree then claimed his life during the attempt on Shion.
