Hiruko (missing-nin) in Naruto

Hiruko was a friend of the Sannin, a group of powerful ninjas. Unlike them, he was not born with any special abilities. However, he was determined to become a strong shinobi. To do this, he created the Chimera Technique, a forbidden jutsu that allowed him to take the special abilities of other ninjas by merging their bodies with his own.

After the Third Shinobi World War, Hiruko's research on the Chimera Technique was discovered. He claimed that the Third Hokage, the village leader, ordered the Sannin to kill him. This made him leave the village and become a missing-nin, a rogue ninja.

Many years later, ninjas with special abilities called kekkei genkai began disappearing from various villages. People suspected that the Hidden Leaf Village, Konohagakure was behind this, and planned a rebellion against the Land of Fire. While on a mission, Sai was attacked by a strange bird-like monster. Team Kakashi came to rescue him but faced wolf-like monsters, resulting in Naruto getting hurt.

When the Konoha Anbu were sent to investigate, they encountered Hiruko and his followers named Ichi, Ni, and San. Hiruko used his chakra-absorbing technique to quickly defeat the Anbu squad, absorbing their Earth-nature chakra and manipulating the mountain, causing it to crush them.

Hiruko planned to invade the Land of Fire and rule the world by obtaining more kekkei genkai, special abilities possessed by ninjas. He projected his image over Konoha and declared his intention to become immortal and invincible by acquiring the kekkei genkai from all Five Great Nations. He needed to absorb the fifth kekkei genkai, the Sharingan, which Kakashi possessed, to achieve this. Hiruko had marked Kakashi with the Puppet Curse during the Third Shinobi World War.

Hiruko awaited a solar eclipse to accomplish his goals, as he planned to draw power from the Sun's corona during that time. Meanwhile, he activated the Puppet Curse on Kakashi and led him to Mount Shumisen, where he intended to perform a ritual to gain more power. Hiruko believed that the eclipse would allow him to strengthen himself and complete his plans.

As the eclipse approached, Hiruko aimed to absorb the Sharingan from Kakashi and gather enough power to become unstoppable. His ultimate objective was to start a Fourth Shinobi World War and establish his dominion over the entire world using the combined strength of the kekkei genkai.

Hiruko absorbed the kekkei genkai from four other shinobi, successfully gaining their powers. However, while trying to assimilate Kakashi's kekkei genkai, a technique activated by Tsunade caused Hiruko's body to start breaking apart. Naruto intervened quickly, rescuing Kakashi from Hiruko's grasp.

Hiruko then engaged in a battle against Naruto and Kakashi, using the absorbed techniques against them. During the fight, Naruto unleashed his powerful Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, a technique that Hiruko couldn't replicate due to its complex combination of shape and nature manipulation. This attack proved to be Hiruko's downfall, as he could not defend against it.

The Rasenshuriken defeated Hiruko, bringing an end to his threat. Before his demise, Hiruko briefly conversed with Kakashi about pursuing perfection and the importance of connecting with comrades. These words were poignant before Hiruko's ultimate defeat and death.

Hiruko was ambitious, cunning, and power-hungry. He was driven by a strong desire to become a formidable shinobi despite lacking natural special abilities. To overcome this disadvantage, he developed the Chimera Technique to absorb the kekkei genkai of other ninjas, seeking to acquire their powers and increase his own strength.

Hiruko was willing to go to great lengths to achieve his goals, including betraying his former comrades and becoming a missing-nin. He was manipulative and used his abilities to deceive others, such as projecting his image over Konoha to spread fear and announce his plans for world domination.

His thirst for power and immortality drove him to absorb multiple kekkei genkai and initiate a Fourth Shinobi World War. He displayed a ruthless and relentless nature in his pursuit, utilizing any means necessary to achieve his aims.

Despite his ruthless nature, Hiruko had a certain level of intelligence and strategic thinking. He carefully planned his actions and utilized his absorbed techniques against his opponents in battle.

Hiruko had white hair and red eyes. He usually wore an oversized coat with a high collar, which he wrapped with three leather straps. When he was younger, he wore a white robe and tied his shoulder-length hair in a ponytail. During the Third Shinobi World War, he switched to a beige robe with red undergarments, and his hair had grown to his hips.

As he declared the Fourth Shinobi World War, Hiruko took on a more youthful appearance through modifications he made to himself. He had a thin and frail look, with inverted white eyes, and his mouth had a stitched pattern resembling a rag doll.

He covered most of his body in bandages, including his mouth and arms, leaving only the upper half of his face and hair visible. He could also use the bandages as weapons by removing them. Due to the modifications for his Chimera Technique, he had a stitched scar on his left chest, which allowed him to assimilate Kakashi.

Hiruko, lacking natural abilities, developed the Chimera Technique to gain physical powers from other ninjas. By integrating their bodies with his own, he obtained kekkei genkai and enhanced traits. He already stole four kekkei genkai from different countries and used them as if they were his own, including abilities like increased strength.

Hiruko and his followers could create hybrid creatures, such as a bird-like monster with explosive feathers and wolf-like beasts with tentacle-like appendages. However, Hiruko himself didn't use these creatures in battles, except for past experiments.

Hiruko acquired four elemental kekkei genkai: Steel, Swift, Dark, and Storm Release. With these, he became immune to certain types of attacks. For offense, he could create thunderclouds to electrocute opponents or drain their chakra. His Swift element allowed him to move quickly at superhuman speed and strike from various angles. He could also use his bandages as powerful tendrils.

Having absorbed earth chakra, Hiruko gained the ability to control the ground, crushing and devouring opponents. He absorbed Kakashi's Lightning Cutter technique, making it his own and modifying it to attack from a distance. He also possessed Naruto's Big Ball Rasengan, which he could use on a larger scale due to absorbing a massive amount produced by shadow clones.

Hiruko had additional skills, including placing a curse seal on victims to control them like puppets. He could project a large-scale image of himself to convey messages to the shinobi countries.

Hiruko has the special ability to bring his followers or allies to his side whenever he needs them, called Summoning. Hiruko can summon different individuals or creatures to help him in battles or carry out tasks on his behalf. This skill gives him an advantage by having additional support and forces to fight alongside him.

In "Naruto Shippuden the Movie: The Will of Fire," the story follows Hiruko, a missing-nin from Konohagakure who desires to bring about a Fourth Shinobi World War and establish himself as the world's ruler. To accomplish this, he harnesses the power of the forbidden Chimera Technique, which allows him to assimilate the kekkei genkai of other shinobi by merging their bodies with his own. As Hiruko begins to steal kekkei genkai from shinobi across different villages, tensions escalate between the Five Great Nations, with Konohagakure being suspected of the disappearances.

Team Kakashi, along with other Konoha shinobi, sets out on a mission to uncover the truth and end Hiruko's destructive plans. As they delve deeper into the mystery, they encounter various challenges and adversaries while trying to maintain the bonds of friendship and loyalty that define them. With the threat of war looming and the fate of their village at stake, the team must find a way to stop Hiruko's ambitions and prevent the outbreak of chaos and destruction.

The movie explores profound themes of sacrifice, determination, and the strength that comes from unity. As the characters face personal struggles and confront their own fears, they learn the importance of standing together and protecting what they hold dear. Through their resilience and unwavering spirit, Team Kakashi strives to bring about peace and preserve the harmony of the ninja world, ultimately facing off against Hiruko in a climactic battle that will determine the fate of their world.
