Nurari

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

Three-Tails Arrival arc
He was one of Orochimaru's prisoners that is 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 virtually 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, Nuari joined his team in attacking the Leaf Ninja again.

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 had tried to use her Gentle Fist technique, her hands were covered with a wet substance. This substance can also be expanded to act as a makeshift shield for cushioning incoming projectiles. What this is remains unknown. Nurari's abilities seem to stem from his blue, liquid-like suit. Later, Nurari is given the power of the Cursed Seal.

Trivia
