Watari Ninja

The is a small group of Missing-nin. They are introduced in the Mystery in the Bird Country filler arc.

Background
The group had for a long time wandered from place to place to seek out jutsu to copy. Then, at some point, their leader Oki (as Mōsō) tells his group that they must find a place to finally settle. They decided on taking over the Land of Birds. Mōsō became chief adviser to the land's daimyo Owashi. He used this closeness to secretly poison the daimyo, causing his death.

Mystery in the Bird Country arc
The new daimyo, Owashi's son Sagi (who was later revealed to really be Sagi's twin sister Toki) took the guise of Noroimusha in order to avenge her father. Mōsō sent his assistant and the daimyo's childhood friend Chishima to Konoha for help. Tsunade dispatched Neji to lead Naruto Uzumaki and Tenten in the helping. After the team of Konoha ninja figured out that the real threat was The Watari ninja, the members Hokushin and Nagare proceed to follow and attack the foreign ninjas. They were both defeated by Kakashi, who had later come to assist the Konoha ninja group. Naruto defeated Oki with Naruto Uzumaki Barrage. Oki was then handed over to Toki, and Naruto requested that he be forced to repent for what he had done.

Abilities
As mentioned earlier, this group of ninjas used a long time wandering from place to place to gather jutsu. However, many of these techniques they have copied are proven to be weaker copies of the actual technique. For example, Oki's "summoning technique" was just activated by a projector. Also, he used strings to make it appear that the enemy was caught in the Nara family's Hiden Jutsu Shadow Imitation Technique.

Known members
Since most Watari mask their identities, the only known members are as follow:


 * Oki - Leader
 * Hokushin
 * Nagare
