Kiruru

was a genin of Kirigakure. He and his team took part in the same Chūnin Exams as Itachi Uchiha. When, during the exams' second stage, they found Itachi traveling through the Forest of Death alone, they attacked him, expecting it would be easy to take his scroll. After falling prey to Itachi's Crow Clone Technique, having his fire overpower their water, and finally glimpsing his Sharingan, Kiruru and his teammates surrendered their scroll in exchange for being allowed to live. Itachi accepted, but knocked them unconscious in case they tried to follow him.
