San's Bird

A bird-like creature was summoned by San in Naruto Shippūden 3: Inheritors of the Will of Fire to help him fight the Konoha 11.

Appearance
The bird-like creature is a very large beast. It was large enough for San to be able to stand on top its head, and was even then dwarfed in comparison. It had a very large wingspan which had distinctive makings that combined near the middle. It also had two jet-like pistons near the end of its body, with two tails attached.

Abilities
It showed the ability to shoot exploding feathers from its body with almost pin-point accuracy. The creature also has jet-like modifications that allow it to have short bursts of speed.

Plot overview

It is later defeated by Chōji Akimichi's Super Multi-Size Technique.
