Kin Tsuchi

was a Genin-level ninja from Otogakure. She took part in the Chunin Exam under orders from Orochimaru to kill Sasuke Uchiha. She was the only one of her team to not have a physical alteration. Her name can mean Gold Earth

Chunin Exam arc
Kin and the rest of Team Dosu attacked Sakura during the second phase of the Chunin Exams in their attempt to kill Sasuke. When Team 10 came to Sakura's aid, Kin's body was taken over by Ino Yamanaka's Mind Body Switch Technique, and, because of that, she was injured by her own teammate, Zaku.

In the third stage preliminaries, she was matched against Shikamaru Nara. Shikamaru initially believed her trick to be a simple combination of needles with and without bells in order to make him less alert of the latter. Kin, however, followed through using her strings to ring a previously thrown bell, further confusing Shikamaru. Shikamaru countered, contracting his shadow and minimizing it under the string attached to a needle she threw; she didn't notice that a string at that height wouldn't be able to cast a shadow. Shikamaru then proceeded to use Shadow Imitation Technique to make the both of them throw a shuriken simultaneously. While Shikamaru was able to duck, Kin was too close to the wall and hit her head, knocking her out.

Kin, along with Zaku, was later betrayed and used by Orochimaru as sacrifices to summon Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju from their graves with Impure World Resurrection.

Abilities
Kin was an accomplished Senbon user, as seen in the Chunin Exams. When she was ordered by Zaku to "finish Sakura", she reached into her back pocket and grasped senbon instead of a Kunai or a summoning scroll. In her main technique, Illusion Bell Needles, she also used senbon. While fighting Shikamaru, she aimed at a vital point at his arm and shoulder.
