Yūra

was a jōnin-level shinobi from Sunagakure who turned out to be a sleeper agent of the Akatsuki member Sasori.

Background
As a Sunagakure ninja, he served as a trusted member of the Kazekage advisory council of Suna for four years.

Personality
Yūra was said to be an industrious and loyal person. From the little that was seen of him, this was true as he advocated new strategies and plans all geared towards improving the village. With regards to his loyalty, though two-sided, he was fiercely loyal to Sunagakure and after being awakened as a sleeper agent, showed great loyalty towards Sasori as well.

Appearance
Yūra was a tall man with black hair that hung over his right eye, a goatee and dark eyes. Usually he was seen wearing beige robe with black trousers and sandals. On missions, he wore a standard Suna shinobi attire.

Abilities
As a jōnin and part of Sunagakure's council, Yūra was a very powerful shinobi. Sasori had chosen him to be a sleeper agent for good reason, which was certified when Yūra wiped out the entire force which was tasked to guard Sunagakure's gate single-handedly, although there were many other jōnin and even ANBU.

Kazekage Rescue Arc
He was also assigned to command the defence of Suna at the time Gaara, the Fifth Kazekage, was kidnapped. He was in charge of guarding the gate when Sasori lifted the technique that was blocking memories of him, Yūra killed all the guards to allow Sasori's partner, Deidara, into the village. Yūra was later used by Pain as a sacrifice for the Shapeshifting Technique, becoming a replica of Itachi Uchiha. This replica was killed by Naruto with the Big Ball Rasengan. His corpse was later devoured by Zetsu.

Trivia
