San

was one of the antagonists of Naruto Shippūden 3: Inheritors of the Will of Fire. He is a shinobi and one of Hiruko's three followers, along with Ichi and Ni.

Appearance
He almost perfectly resembles his team-mate, Ichi, except that he has three marks on his forehead, and that while San wears his cloak on the left side of his shoulder and straps from the right shoulder going down, Ichi wears them the opposite direction.

Abilities
He can summon a bird-like creature that has many modifications. It can shoot feathers and exploding projectiles with pin-point accuracy. The creature also has jet-like modifications that allow it to have short bursts of speed. San can summon Ichi, and Ni to merge with him via the Chimera Technique. The merged beast is a combination of all their summoned animals with all their abilities.

Plot Overview
He fights Team Asuma, Naruto, and Sakura until Sai rescues them. Shikamaru and his team-mates fights him with their formation. Ino tries to explain their reason of coming but it does not work. After he merges with Ni and Ichi, the chimera beast is restrained by the Konoha 11, without Naruto and Sakura, before being summoned by Hiruko. The Konoha 11 fight it again, defeating it this time.
