Nurari

is a shinobi who appears in the second Naruto Shippūden filler arc. Despite his slender and somewhat feminine appearance, he is male.

Three-Tails Arrival arc
He was one of Orochimaru's prisoners selected to join forces with Guren. When Guren leaves with Kabuto and Yukimaru, he is instructed to stay behind to deal with Team Kurenai and Team Yamato. Nurari ends up fighting Hinata, but thanks to his unique ability to shift his body, he is able to render Hinata's Gentle Fist useless. He ultimately retreats with his team and regroups with Guren, where they learn that they are to help retrieve the Three-Tailed Giant Turtle. Nurari voices his disapproval of trying to capture such a dangerous beast, but is sent to once again deal with the Konoha ninja. Without the help of Rinji, they are easily defeated.

Later, taking advantage of Nurari's fear of dying, Kabuto convinced him to be given a Cursed Mark. Using his new power, Nurari joined his team in attacking the Leaf Ninja again. Together, they managed to defeat the primary defense team and recapture Yukimaru. Seeing this as a chance for freedom, Nurari and his team decided to run away, only to soon learn that their Cursed Marks were slowly and painfully killing them without proper care. Not wanting to die, Nurari and his team attacked the Leaf Ninja attempting to seal the Three-Tails again. Nurari found himself against Shino, and quickly took the advantage against the bug-jutsu user. Shino's second attack on Nurari is successful because the bugs he sent the first time were meant to get rid of the slime fluid covering Nurari's body. After his defeat, Nurari seemingly attempts to heal his dying teammates with some tentacles coming from his body.

Abilities
Like Orochimaru, Nurari seems to have gone through physical modifications that allows his body to bend and stretch in exceedingly unusual manners. With this ability, he can fight at any range or shift his body's structure to avoid having internal organs or chakra points damaged. His stretching power also allows him to flatten his entire body, protecting him from being crushed. After Hinata tried to use her Gentle Fist technique against Nurari, her hands were covered with a wet, slimey substance, a mucous-like membrane, discribed as being like "birdlime". This substance can also be expanded to act as a makeshift shield for cushioning incoming projectiles or launched as a stretchy and sticky projectile to pin his opponent's down. What this is remains unknown. Nurari's abilities seem to stem from his blue, liquid-like suit, as, according to Hinata, "his body is his jutsu...his suit is full of chakra". It allows him to also camouflage his visible presence. Later, Nurari is given the power of the Cursed Seal.

Trivia
