Kurotsuchi

is a kunoichi from Iwagakure and a bodyguard of the Third Tsuchikage.

Personality
Kurotsuchi is generally calm and easy going. She has displayed a powerful loyalty to her village as she was more interested in killing the jinchurikis of the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails than actually protecting them. She decided this was the best plan so Iwa could become stronger than Konoha and Kumo.

Appearance
Kurotsuchi has short black hair and pupil-less pink eyes. She wears a red shirt with a sleeve on her left arm, the brown Iwagakure flak jacket, fishnet tights with a red skirt, and shorts over them.

Abilities
Kurotsuchi has shown the ability to erect a protective rock dome, similar to Yamato's Wood Release: Wood Locking Wall. It is unknown if she created it out of thin air, or from a pre-existing source. The dome was powerful enough to endure several tonnes of rock falling on it.

Furthermore, she was able to deal with Zetsu's Spore Technique single-handedly without inflicting any visible wounds upon the clone.

Five Kage Summit arc
Kurotsuchi and Akatsuchi escorted the Third Tsuchikage to the Five Kage meeting. When they were leaving the Tsuchikage hurt his hips trying to carry his own luggage, so she suggested that he should retire. Despite this, they managed to arrive at the Land of Iron without further incidents. During the meeting, she came to the Tsuchikage's defense during the Fourth Raikage's outburst.

When Kurotsuchi heard that Sasuke Uchiha had infiltrated the meeting, she asked for permission to fight the man who killed Deidara. The Tsuchikage agreed, but told her to keep out of the Raikage's way. She watched Sasuke's battle from the shadows and, when Sasuke caused the room to collapse, created a dome to protect herself from falling debris. She also fended off Zetsu's Spore Technique. While leaving the Land of Iron, she suggested to the Tsuchikage that they eliminate Killer Bee and Naruto so they can foil Madara Uchiha's Moon's Eye Plan and weaken Konohagakure and Kumogakure. When he disagreed, she exclaimed that he wasn't acting like the stubborn old man she knew of. He responded that he remembered who he was before he became a "hard-headed old man".

Fourth Great Shinobi World War
Upon returning to their village, they were informed that the Earth Daimyo has approved the formation of the Allied Shinobi Forces.
