Chūshin

is a ninja who was helping Akaboshi to collect the Tsuchigumo clan's forbidden jutsu.

Appearance
Chūshin is a very talkative man with a thin, gaunt face and body, a receded hairline preceding dark, unkempt, near-shoulder-length hair, and a distinctive cleft in his chin. He has a large shuriken on his back, although he has yet to be shown using it in battle.

Six-Tailed Beast arc
Akaboshi, Chūshin, Nangō, and Benten make for Mount Katsunagi in search of the Tsuchigumo clan's kinjutsu. They manage to destroy the barrier around the mountain and make their way up. While climbing, Chūshin is almost pushed off the cliff, but he managed to recover and continue. They could not find the jutsu anywhere and ran into Tonbee, whom the group defeated quickly. They discover that Hotaru has the jutsu and they begin searching for her.

Later, Chūshin and his comrades are seen receiving new orders from an mysterious man. After meeting with their leader, the four-man team encountered Utakata, who single-handedly bested the group until they caught him in their Destructive Barrier Formation technique.
