Akatsuba

Akatsuba is a summoned fox in Shadows of the Past. He is first summoned by Takatsuke Uzumaki during the latter's training to use the Summoning Technique. Akatsuba is the size of a reqular fox, and his fur has a very firece color of red, similar to Hotaku Kamateru's hair. He is the younger brother of Hotaku's personal summoning Hakutsuba. As it is with the rest of the fox summons, Akatsuba lives in Land of Foxes.

Abilities
As shown, Akatsuba is capable of using some lesser Fire Release techniques. These, however, are not his only specialty. After training with Takatsuke for the finals of the Chunin exam Akatsuba and Takatsuke learned to sync their techniques and create more powerful combo attacks, of which the best example is Great Flame Tornado Technique, which combines Takatsuke's Wind Release: Great Spinning Breakthrough and Akatsuba's Fire Release: Fire Stream.
