This is a '''list of villains''' in the anime and manga series ''[[Naruto]]'' that only appear as minions of more important villains or as main villains for a single story arc.
== Gato Syndicate ==
=== Gato ===
[[Image:Gatou.jpg|thumb|Gato]]
* '''Age:''' 48<sup>[[#Sources|1]]</sup> (deceased)
* '''Height:''' 162.5 [[Metre|cm]]<sup>[[#Sources|1]]</sup>
* '''Weight:''' 69 [[Kilogram|kg]]<sup>[[#Sources|1]]</sup>
* '''Birthday:''' [[April 30]]<sup>[[#Sources|1]]</sup>
* '''Blood Type:''' A<sup>[[#Sources|1]]</sup>
* '''Seiyu:''' [[Naoki Bandou]]
* '''Voice Actor:''' [[Fred Tatasciore]] (anime), [[Daran Norris]] (''[[Naruto: Ultimate Ninja]]'')
{{nihongo|Gato|ガトー|Gatō}} is a powerful shipping magnate whose shipping company is actually a front for smuggling illegal goods and dealing drugs. He takes control of the [[Naruto geography#Land of Waves|Land of Waves]]' shipping routes and creates a monopoly by isolating the country from the outside world, preventing free import and export and turning it into a poor, hunger-stricken country in the process. He is responsible for humiliating and killing [[List of minor allies in Naruto#Kaiza|Kaiza]] for being the country's hero. Gato is protected by [[#Gato's bodyguards|two bodyguards]].
Gato hires [[Zabuza Momochi]] and his subordinates to assassinate [[List of minor allies in Naruto#Tazuna|Tazuna]] and stop him from finishing to build the [[Naruto geography#Great Naruto Bridge|bridge]] that would connect the [[Naruto geography#Land of Waves|Land of Waves]] to the outside world and allow its economy to recover. However, after Zabuza's arms are broken in battle with [[Kakashi Hatake]] (who was hired to defend Tazuna), Gato assumes that Zabuza is no longer able to accomplish his mission and decides to use his own thugs to kill Tazuna instead. Still able to hold a kunai, Zabuza kills Gato instead (In the manga, Zabuza chopped off Gato's head. In the anime, Gato was stabbed and slashed several times, then knocked off the bridge.) Gato's men fail to kill Tazuna, and the bridge is completed.
His name is spelled with and without a circumflex in the English manga. The revised Hepburn romanization is Gato. The first official data book spells his name as "Gatoh". Coincidentally, the character looks almost exactly like his voice actor, [[Fred Tatasciore]].
=== Demon Brothers ===
* '''Voice Actor''': [[Dan Woren]]
{{nihongo|The Demon Brothers|鬼兄弟|Onikyōdai}}, consisting of the older brother {{nihongo|Gozu|業頭|Gōzu}} and the younger {{nihongo|Meizu|冥頭}}, are [[Naruto ninja ranks#Chunin|Chunin]]-level ninja from [[Naruto geography#Kirigakure|Kirigakure]] who have since become [[Naruto ninja ranks#Missing-nin|missing-nin]]. The two are under the command of [[Zabuza Momochi]], who assigns them to kill others for paying clients. Each brother wears a large, metal gauntlet with poisonous claws (Gozu's on his right hand, Meizu's on his left) that are connected by a spiked chain that they operate in unison. Surrounding their opponent with the chain, they are able to constrict the chain to the point of severing their target into several pieces. When they attempted to assassinate [[List of minor allies in Naruto#Tazuna|Tazuna]] — who Team 7 were hired to protect — [[Naruto Uzumaki]], it being his first real battle, freezes in fear and is about to be killed, only to be saved by [[Sasuke Uchiha]] and [[Kakashi Hatake]]. Kakashi deals with the two easily after seeing who their main target was, and ties them to a tree to await capture.
=== Gato's bodyguards ===
{{nihongo|Waraji|ワラジ}} and {{nihongo|Zori|ゾウリ|Zōri}} are [[#Gato|Gato's]] personal bodyguards. Both are skilled in [[Iaidō]], though Waraji is left-handed while Zori is right-handed. The two are assigned by Gato to kidnap [[List of minor allies in Naruto#Tsunami|Tsunami]] as a hostage. When they try to kill her son, [[List of minor allies in Naruto#Inari|Inari]], [[Naruto Uzumaki]] arrives to save him, defeating them both and tying them up.
== Chunin examinees ==
=== Rain Genin (Team 1) ===
The first Rain Genin team, consisting of {{nihongo|Baiu|バイウ}}, {{nihongo|Midare|ミダレ}}, and {{nihongo|Shigure|シグレ}}, confronts [[Gaara]] and his siblings during the second phase of the Chunin Exams. Shigure attacks Gaara by throwing his umbrellas into the air and releasing the needles kept within them for his {{nihongo|Sprinkling Needles|如雨露千本|Jouro Senbon|''Viz'' "Rain of Needles", ''English TV'' "Senbon Rainstorm"}} attack. As the needles fall to the ground, Shigure controls them with his chakra to surround Gaara and fire them at him with increased speed and accuracy. Gaara's [[List of ninjutsu in Naruto (S-Z)#Shield of Sand|Shield of Sand]] blocks the attack with ease, and Shigure retaliates. As he charges, he is trapped by Gaara's [[List of ninjutsu in Naruto (A-G)#Desert Coffin|Desert Coffin]] and then killed with [[List of ninjutsu in Naruto (A-G)#Desert Funeral|Desert Funeral]]. Although Baiu and Midare attempt to surrender, they are killed in the same way.
=== Rain Genin (Team 2) ===
[[Image:Raingenin.jpg|thumb|The unmasked Rain Genin team. From left to right: Kagari, Oboro, and Mubi.]]
The second Rain Genin team consists of {{nihongo|Kagari|篝}}, {{nihongo|Mubi|夢火}}, and {{nihongo|Oboro|朧}}. All three wear breathers, matching wetsuits, and a cloth over their eyes, with each member having a different number of eyeholes in their cloth. Early in the second phase of the Chunin Exams, Oboro restrains and turns himself into [[Naruto Uzumaki]], though he is soon found out by [[Sasuke Uchiha]]. Sasuke easily gains the upper hand and injures Oboro, forcing him to flee.
When Oboro and his team later come across Team 7 again, they use {{nihongo|Sly Mind Affect Technique|狐狸心中の術|Kori Shinchū no Jutsu}} to force Team 7 to walk around in circles for hours without their notice, tiring them out. Once Team 7 realizes they aren't getting anywhere, they are attacked with {{nihongo|Mist Servant Technique|霞従者の術|Kasumi Jūsha no Jutsu}} to give the illusion of hundreds of clones emerging from the surrounding forest. Naruto attempts to attack all of the clones to make things easier, though the clones merely turn to a blackish, oil-like liquid and regenerate themselves. From hidden locations, the Rain Genin then throw kunai at Team 7 in unison with their clones doing the same, making it appear as though the ordinarily harmless attacks are doing damage. Naruto presses on and fights through the night in an attempt to reveal the ___location of the Rain Genin.
After a night of fighting, Naruto and his team appear exhausted, which the Rain Genin use as a chance to attack. Upon revealing themselves, they discover that what appears to be an exhausted Team 7 are merely shadow clones in disguise. Using this opportunity to their advantage, a somewhat rested Team 7 attacks the Rain Genin. Taking one last stand, the Rain Genin use {{nihongo|Haze Clone Technique|朧分身の術|Oboro Bunshin no Jutsu|''English TV'' "Fog Clone Jutsu"}} to create hundreds of clones that are passed through when struck. Naruto continues to attack them regardless to find the actual Rain Genin, though Sasuke is able to use his [[Kekkei genkai#Sharingan|Sharingan]] to discover that none of the clones are real. As Naruto is thrown off guard, the Rain Genin emerge from the ground to attack. Their emergence allows them to be attacked, and Naruto knocks the three unconscious.
In the Land of Tea anime filler arc, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura are called upon to protect Morino Idate. Oboro, Kagari, and Mubi come back to serve as Team 7's opponents a second time. They use the same strategies as they did in the Chunin exams, but have since learned to make [[List of ninjutsu in Naruto (S-Z)#Water Clone Technique|water clones]]. They come close to actually defeating Team 7, since they are in the middle of the ocean at the time (water being their favored element), but Naruto's Spiraling Sphere training allows him to create a whirlpool that sucks the Rain Genin into the oceanic abyss. Given their ability to breathe underwater due to their masks, it is likely they survived.
== Cloud ninja ==
=== Head ninja ===
* '''Age:''' 42<sup>[[#Sources|1]]</sup> (deceased)
* '''Rank:''' Head ninja<sup>[[#Sources|1]]</sup>
* '''Height:''' 177 [[Metre|cm]]<sup>[[#Sources|1]]</sup>
* '''Weight:''' 70 [[Kilogram|kg]]<sup>[[#Sources|1]]</sup>
* '''Birthday:''' [[April 2]]<sup>[[#Sources|1]]</sup>
* '''Blood Type:''' O<sup>[[#Sources|1]]</sup>
Sent to [[Land of Fire#Konohagakure|Konohagakure]] under the guise of the peace treaty between the two villages, the head ninja actually had a hidden agenda. [[Naruto geography#Kumogakure|Kumogakure]] wanted to get their hands on the [[Kekkei genkai#Byakugan|Byakugan]] of the [[Hyuga clan]]. In order to get the Byakugan, the head ninja tried to kidnap [[Hinata Hyuga]], only to be killed by her father, [[Hyuga clan#Hiashi Hyuga|Hiashi Hyuga]]. Kumogakure claimed Konoha had broken their newly signed treaty and demanded the dead body of Hiashi as compensation. Although Hiashi was fully prepared to die, he was saved by his twin brother, [[Hyuga clan#Hizashi Hyuga|Hizashi]], who volunteered to die instead of Hiashi.
'''Trivia'''
* The head ninja's true name is unknown, although many people call him Shinobi Gashir as the result of a mistranslation.
* Although he's called Kumo no Kuni no Shinobi Gashira in the First Data Book, there's no such country as Kumo no Kuni in ''Naruto'', although there is a village named Kumogakure which lies in [[Naruto geography#Land of Thunder|Land of Thunder]]. The Shinobi Gashira is, however, listed under Kumogakure's village symbol.
== Third Secret Ninja Wars ==
During the [[Kakashi Gaiden]] arc, [[Kakashi Hatake]] and his team encounter a number of [[Naruto geography#Iwagakure|Iwagakure]] [[Naruto ninja ranks#Jonin|Jonin]]. The first of these ninja is {{nihongo|Mahiru|マヒル}}, who creates 20 [[List of ninjutsu in Naruto (S-Z)#Shadow Clone Technique|shadow clones]] upon seeing the team. Kakashi defeats the clones with his [[List of ninjutsu in Naruto (H-R)#One Thousand Birds|One Thousand Birds]], though is almost killed by Mahiru. Kakashi's sensei, the future [[List of Konoha ninja#Fourth Hokage|Fourth Hokage]], manages to get Kakashi to safety and quickly defeats Mahiru. Later, Mahiru's teammates, {{nihongo|Kakko|カッコウ|Kakkō}} and {{nihongo|Taiseki|タイセキ}}, go looking for him. When they find Kakashi and his team, they kidnap [[List of Konoha ninja#Rin|Rin]] as a source of information and attempt to use [[Jutsu (Naruto)#Genjutsu|genjutsu]] to get her to answer their questions.
When Kakashi and his teammate, [[List of Konoha ninja#Obito Uchiha|Obito Uchiha]], go looking for Rin, Taiseki uses his {{nihongo|Hiding Camouflage Technique|迷彩隠れの術|Meisaigakure no Jutsu}} to turn invisible and sneak up on the two. In doing so he is able to slash Kakashi's left eye, rendering it useless. As he attempts to finish the job he is stabbed by Obito, whose newly awakened [[Kekkei genkai#Sharingan|Sharingan]] allows him to see through Taiseki's technique. With Taiseki defeated, the two confront Kakko, Rin's captive. Using two blades concealed in his sleeves as well as his heightened speed, Kakko tries to kill Obito though Kakashi manages to repel him with his chakra sabre.
Not willing to let them escape, Kakko uses {{nihongo|Earth Release: Rock Lodging Destruction|土遁・岩宿崩し|Doton: Iwayado Kuzushi}} to create a cave-in. Obito is crushed as a result, and gives Kakashi his Sharingan before dying. In an act of vengeance, Kakashi emerges from the rubble and attacks Kakko. This time, however, Kakko is able to break his chakra sabre with his own blades, allowing Kakashi a chance to kill him with his One Thousand Birds. As Kakashi and Rin mourn the loss of Obito they are attacked by more Iwagakure ninja. The group attempts to use {{nihongo|Earth Release: Split Earth Turn Around Palm|土遁・裂土転掌|Doton: Retsudotenshō}} to crush the two with the surrounding rocks, but Kakashi's sensei arrives in time to defeat them and save his surviving students.
==Battle at Hidden Falls. I am the Hero! (OVA)==
===Suien===
* '''Age''': ? (deceased)
* '''Seiyu''': [[Naoya Uchida]]
* '''Voice Actor''': [[Cam Clarke]]
Suien was the teacher of Shibuki until he went rogue. He assembled followers in his plan to obtain the Hero Water even if it meant taking hostages in Takigakure (Village Hidden in the Waterfall). He threatened to kill the captive villagers one by one if Shibuki didn't show himself with the Hero Water. When Shibuki drank the water and hid it's bottle in the shirt, he engaged Suien in battle until Suien impaled Shibuki with a water sword technique and discovered the water falling out of his shirt. After he drank it, Naruto engaged him in battle long enough for Shibuki to free Sasuke. When the three fought him (with Naruto unleashing the Chakra of the Nine-Tailed Fox), they knocked the water out of his hand and Naruto's clones sent him falling down the waterfall to his death.
===Kirisame===
* '''Age''': ?

== ''Snow Princess' Book of Ninja Arts'' enemies ==
These enemies have only appeared in the Naruto movie ''[[Naruto the Movie: Snow Princess' Book of Ninja Arts|Snow Princess' Book of Ninja Arts]]''. All of the following characters utilize special chakra armor that is unique to the ninja of [[Naruto geography#Yukigakure|Yukigakure]]. This armor allows them to increase the power of their chakra, and also enables them to negate the effects of opposing [[Jutsu (Naruto)#Ninjutsu|ninjutsu]] and [[Genjutsu (Naruto)|genjutsu]], as well as a limited amount of physical attacks. In addition, it also comes with various attachments, such as wings or extending arms (the attachments vary, as each armor is customized for the user).
=== Doto Kazahana ===
* '''Age:''' ? (possibly deceased)
* '''Seiyu:''' [[Tsutomu Isobe]]
* '''Voice Actor:''' [[Lex Lang]]
The boss of Nadare Roga, Mizore Fuyukuma and Fubuki Kakuyoku, he started the revolt in the Land of Snow in search of the ''Treasure'', which turned out to be a generator that transformed the Land of Snow in to a ''Land of Spring''. He was hit directly by Naruto's [[List of ninjutsu in Naruto (other media)#Ultra Spiraling Sphere|Spiraling Sphere]] which was enhanced by the Seven-Colored Chakra, throwing him with great force onto one of the Generator Walls. Whether this was the death of him was not confirmed. He appears in the Japanese version of ''[[Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 2]]'' as a playable character, but was omitted from the English version before Bandai Namco realized the movie would be released the same month as the game.
=== Fubuki Kakuyoku ===
* '''Age:''' ? (possibly deceased)
* '''Seiyu:''' [[Jun Karasawa]]
Fubuki Kakuyoku is a Snow kunoichi that accompanied Nadare Roga and Mizore Fuyukuma. She fought against Sasuke Uchiha, and was largely successful in countering the majority of his fire jutsu, including his [[List of ninjutsu in Naruto (A-G)#Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique|Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique]] with her [[List of ninjutsu in Naruto (Other media)#Ice Prison Technique|Ice Prison Technique]] and his [[List of ninjutsu in Naruto (A-G)#Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique|Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique]] with the wings on her armor. She was ultimately defeated when Sasuke sent her flying on a collision course with [[List of taijutsu in Naruto#Lion Combo|Lion Combo]] into her partner, Mizore Fuyukuma, to which their chakra armor reacted in the form of an explosion. It is unknown if she is dead.
'''Trivia'''
* "Fubuki" (吹雪) means blizzard or snowstorm in Japanese.
=== Mizore Fuyukuma ===
* '''Age:''' ? (possibly deceased)
* '''Seiyu:''' [[Harî Kaneko]]
* '''Voice Actor:''' [[Kyle Hebert]][http://www.kylehebert.com/]
Mizore Fuyukuma is a Snow ninja who accompanied Nadare Roga and Fubuki Kakuyoku. His method of fighting included the use of a [[snowboard]] for quick movement, his chakra armor, and a metal arm that could fire cables or be launched at a target and retracted. He was eventually defeated by a trap set up by Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha. He survived Sakura's [[List of ninjutsu in Naruto (Other media)#Sakura Blizzard Technique|Sakura Blizzard Technique]], which distracted him, while Sasuke used his [[List of taijutsu in Naruto#Lion Combo|Lion Combo]] to send his partner, Fubuki Kakuyoku, into a collision with him. Their chakra armor reacted in the form of an explosion. It is unknown if he is dead.
'''Trivia'''
* "Mizore" (霙) means sleet in Japanese.
=== Nadare Roga ===
* '''Age:''' ? (deceased)
* '''Seiyu:''' [[Hirotaka Suzuoki]]
* '''Voice Actor:''' [[Liam O'Brien]]
{{nihongo|Nadare Roga|狼牙雪崩|Rōga Nadare}} was a Snow ninja who seems to have previously met and fought Kakashi. At that previous time, Kakashi was forced to retreat since he could not defeat all the Snow ninja alone. Nadare frequently mocks Kakashi because of this. Due to his chakra armor, he was able to counter Kakashi's [[List of ninjutsu in Naruto (H-R)#Lightning Blade|Lightning Blade]]. However, Kakashi kills him in battle through taijutsu, crashing him into the rocks underneath. He seemed to be overly arrogant, even naming one of [[List of ninjutsu in Naruto (Other media)#Ice Release: Wolf Fang Avalanche Technique|his jutsu]] after himself (although his name does describe the technique rather accurately).
'''Trivia'''
* "Nadare" (雪崩) means "[[avalanche]]" in Japanese.
* "Roga" (狼牙) means "Wolf's Fang" in Japanese.
== ''The Phantom Ruins in the Depths of the Earth'' enemies ==
These enemies have only appeared in the Naruto movie ''[[Naruto the Movie 2: Great Clash! The Illusionary Ruins at the Depths of the Earth|The Phantom Ruins in the Depths of the Earth]]''. Each of them use powers they get from a powerful stone known as the Gelel stone.
=== Fugai ===
* '''Age:''' ? (deceased)
* '''Rank:''' N/A
* '''Seiyu''': [[Urara Takano]]
Fugai served as a knight in Haido's supposed "Utopian" army. Fugai could change her form to that of a wolf, most likely due to the influence of the Gelel stone. In this form Fugai could unleash loud howls which could destroy the surrounding area and deafen her foes. She is killed when Sakura lured her under a set of bars that reflected her howl back at her, stunning her and leaving her unable to escape as the bars collapsed on her.
<br clear="all" />
=== Haido ===
* '''Age:''' ? (deceased)
* '''Rank:''' N/A
* '''Seiyu''': [[Akio Nojima]]
Haido is a warlord searching for the Gelel stone vein. This mysterious ore, which had life-giving powers, is located south of the [[Land of Wind]]. By claiming that he wished to establish an [[utopia]], he was able to recruit many followers. However, this is a facade for his true desire: to use the Gelel stones to become all powerful. He was able to turn [[List of minor allies in Naruto#Temujin|Temujin's]] fellow orphans into animated suits of armor, enabling him to build an army. After he obtained the Gelel Stone, he underwent a monstrous transformation, similar to the second level of [[Sasuke Uchiha]]'s [[Cursed Seal jutsu#Cursed Seal of Heaven|cursed seal]]. However, thanks to Temujin's help, Naruto was finally able to kill him with the [[List of ninjutsu in Naruto (other media)#Twin Spiraling Sphere|Twin Spiraling Sphere]].
<br clear="all" />
=== Kamina ===
* '''Age:''' ? (deceased)
* '''Rank:''' N/A
* '''Seiyu''': [[Sachiko Kojima]]
Kamina served as a knight in Haido's supposed "Utopian" army. Kamina could change her form to that of a bat, most likely due to the influence of the Gelel stone. Additionally, she was able to utilize a genjutsu which she tried to kill Kankuro with. After she got into a small fight with Shikamaru, Kankuro was able to trap her and kill her with the [[List of ninjutsu in Naruto (other media)#Black Secret Technique Machine Two Shot|Black Secret Technique Machine Two Shot]].
<br clear="all" />
=== Ranke ===
* '''Age:''' ? (deceased)
* '''Rank:''' N/A
* '''Seiyu''': [[Houko Kuwashima]]
Ranke served as a knight in Haido's supposed "Utopian" army. Ranke could change her form to increase her power when using Taijutsu. Using the power of the Gelel stone, she could utilize lightning techniques and transform her body into a larger, [[Frankenstein's monster|Frankenstein]]-like form. She fought with Gaara, and after he used [[List of ninjutsu in Naruto (other media)#Thunder God of Sand|Thunder God of Sand]] to neutralize her lightning attacks, he killed her with [[List of ninjutsu in Naruto (A-G)#Desert Imperial Funeral|Desert Imperial Funeral]].
<br clear="all" />
== ''Mikazuki Island's Animal Panic!'' enemies ==
These enemies have only appeared in the Naruto movie ''[[Naruto the Movie 3: The Animal Riot of Crescent Moon Island|Mikazuki Island's Animal Panic!]]''.
=== Shabadaba ===
* '''Age:''' ? (deceased)
A former friend of the king of the Land of the Moon, Shabadaba was the king's minister, and unlike the king's noble visions, only desired wealth and power. He betrays his friend and hires Ishidate, Kongou, and Karenbana to assassinate the king and his son, Michiru, to inherit the title of king. In the end, an enraged Ishidate plans on killing Naruto and Hikaru. Shabadaba tries to remind him of his mission to kill Michiru, resulting in Ishadate grabbing Shabadaba's collar with his Petrification Glove, turning him into stone. As Naruto defeats Ishidate, the force of his attack propels the ninja into Shabadaba, shattering him.
=== Ishidate ===
* '''Age:''' ? (possibly deceased)
Ishidate was one of the three ninja hired by Shabadaba to help overthrow the Land of the Moon's royalty. Ishidate wore a glove on his right hand that had the ability to change anything he touched with it to stone. He also could manipulate gravity with it, enabling him to levitate stone and use it as a projectile. He was defeated by Naruto with the help of Hikaru, Michiru, Cham, and Kiki.
<br clear="all" />
=== Kongou ===
* '''Age:''' ? (possibly deceased)
Kongou was one of the three ninja hired by Shabadaba to help overthrow the Land of the Moon's royalty. Kongou mainly fought using his considerable physical strength, which was enough to hit [[Naruto Uzumaki]] extremely high into the air. He was defeated by [[Rock Lee]] and his weighted weapons.
<br clear="all" />
=== Karenbana ===
* '''Age:''' 22 (possibly deceased)
Karenbana was one of the three ninja hired by Shabadaba to help overthrow the Land of the Moon's royalty. Karenbana battled using a type of nerve gas that dulled the five senses, and with a [[Jutsu (Naruto)#Genjutsu|genjutsu]]-like technique that allowed her to attack while her opponent was distracted by a whirlwind of cherry blossoms. She was defeated by [[Sakura Haruno]], who used some shattered glass on the floor to determine Karenbana's position. She gets easily angered at being called a kid due to her short stature.
<br clear="all" />
== Filler saga enemies ==
=== Akahoshi ===
* '''Age:''' ? (Deceased)
Akahoshi was the transitional leader after the death of the Third Hoshikage. He was the one who requested help from Konoha for the guarding of the star. However, in reality, he and two unnamed henchmen were actually the murderers of the Third Hoshikage, due to the Third's refusal to allow anymore Star training due to the negative effect it had on the shinobi's using it. He was ridiculously fanatical about his ambitions that the Star Village should join the five Kage Countries. He also stated that he was well aware of the negative effects of the star and did not use it to train himself, which turned out to be an act of selfishness.
He ended up fighting Natsuhi three times (the last time he killed her), kidnapping Sumaru, and sentencing the Konoha ninja which he hired to death in order to achieve the means of persuading the citizens of Hoshigakure to proclaim him the Fourth Hoshikage. However, his ceremony was interrupted by Sumaru, who wept over his dead mother. To counter this, he caused the star training building to collapse, burying Sumaru in it yet somehow not killing him. The next interruption was a planned presentation by Mizura and Hekuto to prove the flaws of the Star Training, which was successful and caused the citizens to turn on Akahoshi. Frustrated and unsupported, he infused himself with the star, thinking he would become immensely powerful. Instead, the star knocked his senses unconscious and its violent energies took over his body, causing him to attack anyone in sight. Naruto, whose hands were guided by the spirit of Natsuhi, killed him minutes later with Rasengan.
=== Aoi Rokusho ===
[[Image:Raijinnoken.JPG|thumb|Aoi wielding the Raijin sword.]]
* '''Rank:''' [[Naruto ninja ranks#Missing-nin|Missing-nin]]
* '''Seiyu''': [[Ryotaro Okiayu]]
Aoi Rokusho is a diabolical ninja who was hired by the Wagarashi clan. His job was to stop Idate, a runner for the Wasabi clan, from winning the Todori Burning Fire Race. The story behind Aoi is much deeper though as he was a previously a Konoha Jonin.
Aoi betrayed Konoha by having his student, Idate, steal two special treasures from Konoha under the false pretense of his student becoming a Chunin. These treasures were the Raijin Sword and a special scroll of forbidden jutsu. After this event, Aoi defected to [[Naruto geography#Amegakure|Amegakure]] but was followed by Idate's brother, [[List of Konoha ninja#Ibiki Morino|Ibiki Morino]], who then was caught by Amegakure and tortured to translate the scroll. Ibiki not only resisted the torture, but managed to escape with the scroll. After this incident, Aoi remained with Amegakure upon which he became a Jonin. As a member of Amegakure he performed various odd jobs and demeaning tasks that other ninja wouldn't bother with.
Aoi's skills mainly involve his umbrella and needles, which he can use to pin opponents with. His needles are commonly dipped in poison, making them even more lethal. What sets him apart from other ninja is his use of the special Raijin sword, which he stole from Konoha. Though he is fast, most of his techniques are fairly basic.
At the end of the arc, Aoi's Raijin was broken and he is knocked off a cliff by Naruto. It is unknown if he survived, but he himself states earlier in the episode that anyone knocked off will surely die, and unlike Sakura and Sasuke, he is unable to slow his descent at all before hitting the waters below.
=== Gennou ===
* '''Age:''' ? (deceased)
Gennou is a legendary trap-making ninja from [[Naruto geography#Tonbogakure|Tonbogakure]]. Even in his old age, merely hours before his naturally-caused death, he was an excellent shinobi. He was able to set up a multi-layered trap that fooled the ANBU, Hokage, and even nearly stumped [[Shikamaru Nara]]. He could also match [[Rock Lee]] in taijutsu, albeit using a smoke bomb to even the odds. He was able to do all this while suffering from a pain so intense that Ino was forced to release her [[List of ninjutsu in Naruto (H-R)#Mind Body Switch Technique|Mind Body Switch Technique]] immediately upon entering his body.
While [[Jiraiya (Naruto)|Jiraiya]] led an attack on Tonbogakure thirty years previously, Gennou was in Konoha planting explosives. Tonbogakure called a cease-fire and was later annihilated by another village, however, and he never got the chance to use them. Gennou returned thirty years under the guise of a carpenter from Sunagakure. He attempted to finish his job by detonating the Hokage Monument, which would have buried the village under rock and sand, partly because he was near death and didn't want such an elaborate trap to go to waste, though mainly for revenge for the death of his son, who died in the war with his village.
However, upon returning to finish the job, Gennou met [[Naruto Uzumaki]], who deeply resembled Gennou's late son (he told Naruto it was his still-living grandson). Without telling anybody, Gennou deviated from his original plan and turned it into a game. He acted out his original elaborate plan, down to every last twist and detail, but he rigged the bombs in the monument, as well as any other potentially devastating trap, so that they would barely leave a mark or not work whatsoever. Gennou wanted the Konoha 11, especially Naruto, to enjoy solving the "treasure hunt" he always wanted to plan for his grandson.
=== Kamizuru clan ===
The Kamizuru clan is a clan of bee users from [[Naruto geography#Iwagakure|Iwagakure]] who were once very well known. Years before the initial setting of the series, they attempted to lead an invasion force into Konoha, only to be repelled and largely killed by the more experienced Aburame clan. Apparently, the first Tsuchikage was one of its members.
Hoping to find the Tsuchikage's secret scroll, which is full of kinjutsu (forbidden techniques) for bug user ninja, the last three of the clan set out to find the Bikochu. Naruto and Team Kurenai were also looking for the Bikochu, and thus the two eventually battled. All three were defeated by [[Hinata Hyuga]] using her recently perfected technique. Their leader attempted one last-ditch attack with a giant summoned bee, but was repelled by Naruto's Spiraling Sphere.
==== Jibachi Kamizuru ====
Beyond being from the Kamizuru clan, not much is known about Jibachi Kamizuru. He was able to perform the {{nihongo|Bee Bomb Technique|蜂爆弾の術|Hachi Bakudan no Jutsu}}, summoning bees with exploding tags that explode when close to the enemy. Jibachi can be translated to mean [[digger wasp]].
<br style="clear: both">
==== Kurobachi Kamizuru ====
Beyond being from the Kamizuru clan, not much is known about Kurobachi Kamizuru. He could use the {{nihongo|Thousand Bee Stings Technique|蜂千本の術|Hachi Senbon no Jutsu}}, which had summoned bees fire poisonous stingers at their target. Kurobachi can be translated to mean black bee.

* '''Seiyu:''' [[Rica Matsumoto]]
Suzumebachi Kamizuru is the only female and leader of the team made up of herself, Jibachi, and Kurobachi. She claims to be the granddaughter of the [[Naruto ninja ranks#Kage|First Tsuchikage]]. She later makes a cameo appearance in episode 161, eating dango with [[List of Konoha Jonin#Ibiki Morino|Ibiki Morino]]. She was able to use the {{nihongo|Bee Honey Technique|蜂蜜の術|Hachimitsu no Jutsu}}, utilizing summoned bees that engulfed the opponent in sticky honey when killed. "Suzumebachi" can be translated to mean hornet.

=== Raiga Kurosuki ===
[[Image:Raiga.jpg|thumb|Raiga]]
* '''Age:''' ? (deceased)
* '''Rank:''' [[Naruto ninja ranks#Missing-nin|Missing-nin]]
* '''Seiyu:''' [[Keiji Fujiwara]]
{{nihongo|Raiga Kurosuki|黒鋤雷牙|Kurosuki Raiga}} is a former member of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, like [[Zabuza Momochi]] and [[Akatsuki (Naruto)#Kisame Hoshigaki|Kisame Hoshigaki]] (both of whom he apparently disliked, along with the rest of the members) were. Unlike those two, however, he wields two pike-like swords which he uses in a manner similar to [[lightning rod]]s to attract and channel [[lightning]] and [[electricity]]. Raiga's shorter swords seem a little out of place when compared to the other swords seen thus far, but he can connect them at their hilts to form a larger double-bladed sword, effectively increasing the weapon's size and allowing him to perform different and more powerful jutsus. Like the other two Swordsmen, Raiga was very arrogant and overconfident. He was also somewhat mentally unsound.
Raiga was a former [[Naruto ninja ranks#ANBU|ANBU]] of [[Naruto geography#Kirigakure|Kirigakure]]. It was on a mission that he encountered the disabled [[List of minor allies in Naruto#Ranmaru|Ranmaru]]. Raiga and Ranmaru promised each other to be "two in one" under Raiga's name. Ranmaru became Raiga's eyes and ears, and Raiga became Ranmaru's arms and legs. He used [[Kekkei genkai#Ranmaru's kekkei genkai|Ranmaru's kekkei genkai]] in much the same manner as Zabuza used [[Haku (Naruto)|Haku's]], although Raiga seemed to genuinely care for Ranmaru throughout their partnership, whereas Zabuza treated Haku as a mere tool.
Later, Raiga took over a village and forced the inhabitants to work for him. Anyone who would disobey would be punished by being buried alive, which Raiga appropriately nicknamed a "funeral". Raiga had a fondness for funerals, frequently referring to them during battle and otherwise. His love of funerals comes from the fact that whilst a living person is capable of hatred, lies and betrayal, people tend to remember the good in any given individual once he or she has passed away. A few villagers managed to escape and ask Konoha for assistance, which was sent in the form of Team Guy and [[Naruto Uzumaki]].
At first, Naruto was able to resist all of his electric attacks. Team Guy and Naruto Uzumaki stopped Raiga and nearly killed him, but Ranmaru used his chakra to revive him.
After being revived, Raiga revealed the true source of his power: lightning itself. By channeling lightning through his pikes, he effectively gained a much more potent and virtually unlimited energy source for his electric attacks. After defeating Team Guy, as well as a [[List of taijutsu in Naruto#Drunken Fist|drunken]] [[Rock Lee]], and seemingly defeating Naruto, Naruto defeated him again, and Ranmaru tried to convince him to end the fighting. Believing Ranmaru to have turned against him, and thus losing the only person he cared for, Raiga threw himself off the cliff and with one final bolt of lightning, gave himself his own funeral.
=== Shiitenshounin ===
A group of four ninja from the Takumi (weapon-smiths') Village who sought to capture [[Gaara]], each wielding a unique Takumi weapon. They wanted to use the chakra of the [[Tailed beasts#One-Tailed Shukaku|One-Tailed Shukaku]], which was sealed in Gaara, to revive Seimei, the founder, and so-called "Ultimate Weapon" of Takumi Village. The Takumi Village was renowned for its ninja-weaponry production, with their ultimate desire being that by selling their fearsome weapons to all the Hidden Villages, they would end the need for trained shinobi, being able to gain dominance over the other Countries through how vast their weapons arsenal was, not how skilled their shinobi were. The Takumi Village was constantly pillaged however, as the other Countries saw it as a great threat, and many of their powerful weapons were lost. If the Shiitenshounin revived Seimei, and possessed a limitless source of 'ultimate chakra' in the form of Shukaku, they would be unstoppable and ultimately succeed in taking over the 5 Great Nations and avenging the Village itself. All four members are deceased, having fallen to the hands of the team of Konoha and Sand genin.
*'''Jin''' (Seiyu: [[Junpei Morita]]), the leader of the group, who can summon fire with his sword. He offered his body to Seimei as a container for Seimei's soul.
*'''Kyaku''' (Seiyu: [[Yoko Soumi]]), a kunoichi with two twin swords, the "Hishou Souken", that can summon wind. With the Wind Counter (''Kaze Geashi'') technique, she could use her swords to cut through and deflect opposing wind attacks. She fought against Temari, Shikamaru and Ino. She was killed when Shikamaru trapped her with his [[List of ninjutsu in Naruto (S-Z)#Shadow Imitation Technique|Shadow Imitation Technique]] and Temari attacked with her [[List of ninjutsu in Naruto (S-Z)#Summoning: Quick Beheading Dance|Summoning: Quick Beheading Dance]], plunging her into a nearby pool. She was either killed by the technique, the fall, or drowned to death.
*'''Ryūgan''' (Seiyu: [[Daisuke Kirii]]), a young, cocky shinobi who holds the "Ryūgan Imperial Sword", a sword with three blue blades that can transform into dragon like extensions. He fought against Kiba, Choji and Kankuro. He was killed when he was dragged into [[Kankuro#Kuroari|Kuroari]] and impaled by [[List of ninjutsu in Naruto (A-G)#Black Secret Technique Machine One Shot|Black Secret Technique Machine One Shot]].
*'''Suikon''' (Seiyu: [[Akihiko Ishizumi]]), whose armor, the "Mugenkougai" which is shaped like an ornate Lion's head, can absorb chakra on contact with a foe's body. He uses a spinning mace (or flail) as a weapon. He fought against Naruto, Rock Lee and Gaara. He was killed when Gaara turned his Armor of Sand into a stake-like weapon, impaling him through the chest, but not before injuring Rock Lee with his mace.
*'''Seimei''', the 'Ultimate Weapon' of the Takumi Village. Jin 'summoned' his sarcophagus, that was buried within a nearby cliff wall, and offered his body as a container for Seimei's soul. Having been revived, he combined all the Takumi Weaponry into one 'Ultimate Weapon' which he wore. He was eventually defeated by Gaara after he broke free from the metal dome which was used to siphon the Shukaku's chakra. Although partly transformed into his human-sized Shukaku Form, Gaara forcefully reversed the transformation and converted his sand into a [[List of ninjutsu in Naruto (other media)#Sand Halberd|Spear-like weapon]], before hurling it and impaling Seimei, shattering the Takumi Weaponry and killing him in the process.
=== Watari ninja ===
The Watari ninja are a ninja group without attachments to any hidden village who decided to unite their forces in order to become stronger. They travel from country to country, learning or stealing jutsu from other shinobi whenever they can. Because of that, many of their jutsu are copies or modified versions of already known ones. They often can't use their copied attacks efficiently or effectively, and, in many occasions, have to depend on illusions such as trap wires, movie projectors, and other underhanded tricks.
They attempted to take over the Bird County through use of a fake ghost known as the Norimusha and the assassination of the entire line of feudal lords. They actually succeeded in doing the latter, but the twin sister of the dying feudal lord assumed his place. They were defeated through a combined effort between [[Neji Hyuga]], [[Tenten (Naruto)|Tenten]], [[Naruto Uzumaki]], and [[Kakashi Hatake]].
==== Nagare ====
Nagare is the Watari ninja who fought against [[Kakashi Hatake]]. Using the [[List of ninjutsu in Naruto (H-R)#Leech All Creation: Attack Prevention Technique|Leech All Creation: Attack Prevention Technique]] to take on the properties of stone, he can use the Assimilated Rock Blizzard (''Dōka Yahumuki'') to use stones as projectiles, and the Assimilated Rock Tank (''Dōka Sanseki''), a facsimile of the [[Land of Fire#Akimichi clan|Akimichi clan]]'s [[List of taijutsu in Naruto#Human Bullet Tank|Human Bullet Tank]], to expand using stone and crush the opponent while rolling with great force. He could also control rock powder similarly to [[Gaara]]'s sand, engulfing the opponent with rock powder by using {{nihongo|Assimilated Desert Coffin|同化 砂漠柩|Dōka Sabaku Kyū}} and crushing them with {{nihongo|Assimilated Desert Funeral|同化 砂漠送葬|Dōka Sabaku Sōsō}}. He is later defeated, but not killed, by Kakashi's [[List of ninjutsu in Naruto (H-R)#Lightning Blade|Lightning Blade]].
<br style="clear: both">
==== Oki ====
* '''Seiyu:''' [[Kōji Totani]]
Oki the migrating ninja was a ninja that masqueraded as Mousou in the Land of Birds. In disguise, he served as Chief Advisor to the [[Daimyo]] there. He was defeated after a brief battle with Naruto. He leads the Watari group. Despite being its leader, Oki's skills do not seem on par with those of his group. Many of his techniques are half-baked copies of the actual versions (his "summoning technique" activating a projector is just one example). His strategy seems to involve mainly deception, which allows him to overcome stronger foes.
