Umibōzu
CharacterUmibozu was a giant of living water that Amachi loosed upon the Land of the Sea. Essentially a translucent blue mass bound together by chakra, it swallowed and drowned victims inside itself and shrugged off nearly all harm unless it was boiled dry.
Appearance
Roughly the shape of an enormous mass of water, Umibozu appeared see-through and shaded a light blue, its surface bearing a couple of dark spots that passed for eyes along with one for a mouth.
Abilities
In essence Umibozu was nothing but a vast body of water, drawn together and kept whole by its summoner's chakra, which left it all but impossible to destroy short of evaporating it fully. Feeding it more water made it grow larger, and besides reshaping itself freely, it preferred to seize foes within its bulk and drown them, a tactic Amachi compared to a mobile water prison. Compressed water could also be fired from it as forceful bullets.
History
In the Kaima Capture Mission the beast gulped down Naruto Uzumaki and pinned him utterly, right up until the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox flooded him with a rush of chakra that let him tear loose and scatter the thing into fine droplets. When it later pieced itself together again, Naruto called on Gamabunta and did it in by hurling an explosive-tagged kunai into the toad's oil, the resulting flames boiling it away completely.
