Mamushi (マムシ) is an evolved, self-aware God Tree produced by Code's Ten-Tails after one of his Claw Grimes ate Bug and transformed into a tree.

Personality[]

Mamushi is a detached, soft-spoken man. Generally, he only talks when he feels a true need for it.

Appearance[]

Mamushi's Appearance

Mamushi's full appearance.

Mamushi greatly resembles Bug and so takes on the appearance of a short, elderly humanoid with several missing teeth and an extremely long white beard. Like the other self-aware God Trees he wears clothing made from Claw Marks, with a studded band covering his nose and a long studded tabard with an oversized slate blue fur collar draped over his body. Though he otherwise appears human, he possesses a pair of purple Rinnegan and tridactyl feet similar to those of the Claw Grimes.

Abilities[]

Though the extent of his abilities largely remain unknown, Mamushi and his fellow God Trees are believed to possess power that is above their own creator Code.[1][2] Mamushi has shown to have exceptional speed and strength, enough to catch Boruto off guard and slam him against a cliff wall with enough force to cause it to partially crumble. He also has the ability to transform his left arm into a giant maw somewhat resembling a carnivorous plant; it is unclear if this is an ability the original Bug possessed or a trait unique to the evolved God Trees. He seemingly has exceptional sensor capacities, able to detect that Ada was spying on him through her Senrigan.

Mamushi Attacks Boruto

Mamushi attacking Boruto.

When Boruto Uzumaki followed Code to the dimension where he kept his Ten-Tails imprisoned, what remained of it suddenly disappeared. Moments later, Mamushi appeared, surprising Code as the actual Bug that had been transformed into tree still remained nearby. Boruto explained that Mamushi wasn't the man named Bug and was, in fact, a God Tree, having evolved into a new form due to Code's modifications. He proceeded to attack Boruto, threatening to devour him and naming him an Ōtsutsuki. Three other evolved God Trees then appeared, each bearing a familiar likeness, with the apparent leader explaining that they had gained self-awareness.

Following Boruto and Code's retreat, the leader declared that their newly awakened curiosity was temporarily overwhelming their instinct to devour, but that Boruto would not be able to escape his fate. He later joined the other God Trees in their base beneath the roots of a giant tree, where they discussed their newly developing individual identities and the emotions stimulating them, which were producing cravings that they couldn't explain. The leader, Jura, suggested that they follow their instincts and choose targets to devour, believing that it would enlighten them as to their true nature. Bug's God Tree clone realised that Ada was watching them using her Senrigan and to her dismay, approached her projection, declaring that she would be his target.

Later, as Hidari was destroyed by Boruto and Jura prepared to kill the ninja, Mamushi appeared, informing him that investigations have revealed that Boruto has an accomplice, explaining the intimate knowledge he has about the God Trees. As Mamushi noticed Hidari's Thorn Soul Bulb, he reminded Jura that they needed to restore Hidari quickly before the bulb rots. The God Trees then returned to their lair. There, after reviving Hidari, they joined the group in the birth of a new sentient God Tree, Ryū.

Trivia[]

  • His name is written with the kanji 虫, meaning "bug", in reference to the person he was cloned from, though the kanji is also used to describe worms and snakes. The kana reading, "Mamushi", is a species of pit viper.
