Zero-Tails

The is a Noh masked leech-like spirit sealed within Amaru. It only appears in Naruto Shippūden 2: Bonds.

The Zero-Tails is an evil spirit created by the dark thoughts and feelings of the downtrodden people. This parasitic creature will seek out and feed upon any negative emotions within one's heart and allows the spirit to create. When anyone near the Zero-Tails is emotionally unstable, it will inhabit their body and take them over. The process of implanting the Zero-Tails into a human host does not require a human sacrifice, nor did its extraction kill the host.

The remnants of the Land of the Sky used the Zero-Tails to discretely create enough dark chakra to power their ultimate weapon, "Ancor Vantian". This dark chakra was also personally used by Shinnō, an agent of the Land of the Sky and the man who orchestrated the revival of the Sky ninja forces.

Abilities
It has the ability to fire tendrils from its body and to also form them into hands. It seems to also be able to regenerate since its head reattached after being ripped off by Naruto Uzumaki in his four-tailed form. It also has a very large mouth that appears under its mask. Large molars grow from inside its mouth and it seemed to have tried to bite Sakura Haruno when she attacked it. It appears to have the ability to read the hearts of others, seeing as it saw Naruto's urge to rescue Sasuke Uchiha, and his pain when he was unable to bring him back.

The Dark Chakra produced by the Leech is derived from the darkness within the hearts of the people around it, and it grants the user of this chakra a great source of power, giving access to high-level techniques without even using hand seals while negating any potential drawbacks those techniques may otherwise bring, as well as powering up the entire Ancor Vantian floating fortress. However, usage of this chakra will eventually destroy the user's mind and rot his soul.

Trivia

 * Despite the beast referring to itself as Zero-Tails and Shinnō referring to it as a tailed beast, it is not really one of the original tailed beasts due to the fact that it was not born from the Ten-Tails. It's also noteworthy to comment that, during the movie, when the Zero-Tails latched onto Naruto, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox reacted aggressively to its presence and attempted to expel it.
