Shijima

is a kunoichi of Sunagakure. She is a member of the Hōki family and Hakuto's guard.

Appearance
Shijima is a slim-figured kunoichi, in a way that reminded Gaara of a sharp crescent moon. With the exception of her wearing ill-matchingly thick glasses, Shijima was a very beautiful woman.

Abilities
Shijima fights using hōshuriken, a kind of iron rods with no blades around it. Their cutting abilities were less, but thanks to their weight, if it was a direct hit, they could even bring down a horse. She is capable of using Wind Release to compress the air inside her weapon, which, in case they get destroyed, would cause their fragments to burst apart and take down the opponent.

Gaara Hiden: A Sandstorm Mirage
When Temari's consciousness was about to fade after her fight against a terrorist, Shijima appeared before her, who was asked to help Gaara fight Etoro and Metoro Kin'iro. She arrived just in time to distract the terrorists by throwing some of her hōshuriken, with which she managed to cause Metoro's arm to go slightly numb. After she told the Kazekage her intentions, Shijima struck eight hōshuriken at the target, but they were melted by Etero's flames. As a back-up plan, the kunoichi had compressed air in the hōshuriken beforehand, which, when destroyed by the flames, caused the tools to explode and pierce into Etoro's entire body, making it gruesomely spurt out blood. After the terrorists were defeated by Gaara, she accompanied Hokuto in the hotel corridor.
