Funamushi

is a pirate from the Funato Clan.

Personality
Funamushi is typically a stoic man of few words, but can become very passionate while engaged in battle. He takes pride in being a man of the sea, believing in survival of the fittest and that might makes right. He hates Kirigakure, blaming them for ruining the Land of Water's pride. He is very loyal to the Funato Clan, specially Seiren, his immediate superior.

Appearance
Funamushi is a tan-skinned tall muscular man with small round black goggles. He wears a green tattered haori with a hood and pants. He has bandages on his forearms.

Abilities
Funamushi can summon a swarm of leeches, which can control the movements of those whose blood they suck on. He displays considerable agility and strength in battle, attacking from multiple angles. He is proficient with kenjutsu, able to fight Kagura Karatachi wielding Hiramekarei. Funamushi is also proficient in Water Release, able to use it without a water source, which he combines with his kenjutsu to unleash a powerful assault.

Great Sea Battle of Kirigakure Arc
Funamushi accompanied Seiren Funato to the "island of traitors", where she killed their former allies who bowed to Kirigakure's authority after her father was captured. Later, as she prepared a night attack on the shipbuilders' island, she instructed Funamushi to leave one survivor to spread the word of the Funato's strength.

After Seiren concealed their arrival, Funamushi used his leeches to take control of the people on the island, and attacked Kagura. He tried to throw him off by mentioning Seiren targeting Boruto, but this only motivated Kagura to defeat him. When he recovered, he tracked down Kagura in time to witness Seiren's defeat by him and Boruto. He blocked them with a water wall and recovered her. He sent a soldier to inform Ikada, and told him who was responsible for her injuries.

Later, Funamushi led an elite group of Funato soldiers through the mountains as part of a plan to take down Kirigakure, having deceived the shinobi village to move most of its forces to battle at sea. Funamushi made his men swear to avenge Seiren's defeat as they approached a small village.
