Suiko

The bulk of his group, Suiko is a broad, powerfully built man with wavy brown hair, a short beard, and small dark pupils. Over a purple coat he straps on his armour, its breastplate shaped like a silver tiger's head and flanked by dark blue pauldrons. The suit is the chakra-absorbing Infinite Armour, and he carries a heavy mace as his weapon.

Raw power is Suiko's strong suit, letting him whip his oversized mace around at speed. The Infinite Armour drains the chakra of anyone striking him with ninjutsu or taijutsu and shrugs off punishment, holding firm even against a direct kick from Rock Lee. He can face Naruto Uzumaki, Rock Lee, and Gaara together for a short stretch, and he is central to his team's plan, assigned to pin Gaara down while the others ready their barrier. He also handles a flail that doubles as a mace with clear bukijutsu skill.

Overconfidence runs through Suiko much as it does the minor villains of Part I; he trusts his shield so completely that he believes nothing can break it, and like his teammates he pursues the group's aims by whatever means he judges necessary. That certainty ends up killing him. The Four Celestial Symbols Men abduct Matsuri, Gaara's student, to reach the Shukaku power sealed in Gaara and revive Takumi Village's founder, Seimei. Suiko wounds Rock Lee on entering the clash with Gaara. Two defensive fighters then stall in a deadlock, neither able to harm the other, until Gaara finally breaks through and impales him with the Spear of Shukaku.
