Shima

, better known as Ma, is one of the two Toad Elders from Myōbokuzan. She and her husband, Fukasaku, taught Jiraiya senjutsu in his youth. Because he was vastly younger than them, Jiraiya spoke quite respectfully to the Toad Sages, while they referred to him as "Jiraiya-chan" or "Kiddo". They are apparently attendants to the Great Toad Sage.

Personality
Shima, like her husband, is considered old and wise, and is greatly respected by all who know her well enough. In reality, she constantly bickers with Fukasaku over small things when they should focus on the bigger picture, such as the fact that a battle will cause them to miss dinner. They are still close, as Shima is heartbroken after Fukasaku is killed by Pain.

It would seem that only Fukasaku can remain serious in even the worst situation, while Shima will constantly find a way to bicker with Fukasaku. She, similarly, does not have enough respect for the Great Toad Sage, calling him senile for constantly forgetting everything.

Shima was very welcoming to Naruto when he first went to Myōbokuzan to train, 'pulling out all the stops' at her and Fukasaku's home. Even though her cooking consisted of stewed bugs, Naruto still ate it (but had difficulty keeping it down). During the Battle of Konoha, after Pain had stabbed Fukasaku and pinned Naruto to the ground through his hands, Shima called to Naruto not to give up due to the fact that both Jiraiya and Fukasaku had given their lives because they believed in Naruto, and, if he gave up then, she'd never forgive him, before Pain knocked her unconscious to shut her up.

Hunt for Itachi arc
Jiraiya summoned Shima and Fukasaku during his fight with Pain to help him enter Sage Mode. In addition to sitting on his shoulders to provide him with natural energy, they gave him advice, and attacked Pain when necessary. Their combined efforts were enough to combat three of Pain's bodies on equal terms. Shima and Fukasaku then created a genjutsu that allowed them to kill the three bodies, but they were soon overwhelmed by the appearance of three more.

Knowing the battle was lost, Jiraiya had Shima take the Animal path he had captured back to Konoha while he and Fukasaku made one final investigation.

Invasion of Pain arc
While Naruto learns senjutsu from Fukasaku, Shima happily provides him with meals (unaware that her choice of food makes him sick). While restocking her supplies near Konoha, Shima noticed that something was wrong in the village. She summoned Naruto, Fukasaku, Gamaken, Gamabunta, Gamakichi, and Gamahiro to Konoha's center moments after Pain destroyed the village. As Naruto engaged Pain, Shima and Fukasaku provided assistance, dealing with the Animal path's summons. They were amazed by his perfected Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, something he had not shown them during his training, but were again forced to deal with the Animal path.

Knowing that the Animal path must be gotten rid of, Shima coated the area in a dust cloud while Fukasaku threw Gamabunta at the path, giving Naruto an opportunity to finish it off. Pain was soon left with only one body, and Shima and Fukasaku tried once again to use a genjutsu to defeat it. Pain killed Fukasaku and knocks Shima away before they had a chance. Their bodies were later found and Shima, once healed, wept for Fukasaku. When Pain was defeated, and subsequently chose to revive everyone he had killed, Fukasaku was brought back to life, to Shima's shock and surprise. Later, Shima and Fukasaku were both seen together, standing atop Gamakichi's head and watching from a distance as the population of Konoha welcomed Naruto back.

Abilities
In battle, Shima and Fukasaku are extremely formidable. Shima can extend a serpent-like creature from her stomach that can seek out the opponent, allowing Fukasaku to quickly strike with his tongue. Both are capable of exerting powerful gusts of wind, while Shima is able to breathe fire. Also, they seem to be very intelligent, as they quickly determined a weakness in the way Pain used his Rinnegan.

Senjutsu
Shima and Fukasaku are able to use senjutsu. Senjutsu is a specialized field of jutsu that allows the user to sense and then gather the natural energy around a person and draw it inside them, then blending it with their own chakra to create "Sage Chakra". This natural energy-empowered state grants the practitioner a high amount of a type of chakra which is stronger than other types of chakra. Other benefits include an unnaturally high level of raw strength, incredible speed, and huge resistance to physical attacks.

Genjutsu Skills
The two toads are capable of using a very powerful genjutsu called Demonic Illusion: Toad Confrontation Singing. This ability canceled out Jiraiya's lack of aptitude for genjutsu, making their combination much stronger. However, this genjutsu takes time. Also, in order to use this technique, both Shima and Fukasaku must adjust their voices and harmonize with each other (something neither of them seems happy about doing). When finally applied, it attacks the opponent's sense of hearing, and will completely paralyze the target(s) body. It gives Shima and Fukasaku a sore throat afterwards, meaning it can only be used once.
