Ōnoki (オオノキ, Viz: Ohnoki), renowned as “Ōnoki of Both Scales” (両天秤のオオノキ, Ryōtenbin no Ōnoki, English TV: Ohnoki the Fence-Sitter), was the Third Tsuchikage (三代目土影, Sandaime Tsuchikage, Literally meaning: Third Earth Shadow) of Iwagakure.

Background[]

Young Ōnoki

When he was an adolescent, Ōnoki was tasked with cleaning his village’s Stone Monument. As he did so, his grandfather, the First Tsuchikage, came and spoke with him. Ōnoki, who believed that the First was just a cheap old man to have such a simple thing as the symbol of the village, was then told that the stone represented the unmovable will of the shinobi of the village. The First then told Ōnoki that he too possessed that strong will but would lose it if he did not face adversities with determination.[2]

Ōnoki and Mū confront Madara.

As a young man, Ōnoki was a student to the Second Tsuchikage, who passed down to him the secrets of Dust Release techniques.[3] At some point, Ōnoki fought with Madara Uchiha, and was the only living Kage to do so before Madara’s death.[4] On one occasion, Madara approached them and declared that despite the alliance between their villages Konoha was to remain the dominant one, and anything that Konohagakure requested, Iwagakure was to obey.[5] His knowledge of Madara’s power made him wary of him, and was thus surprised that the masked man could be him.[6] He had also encountered the Second Mizukage, his mentor’s rival, and was constantly picked on by the latter.[7]

Eventually, Ōnoki succeeded Mū for the title of Tsuchikage. During his reign, he endured the hardships of the Third Shinobi World War, watching many of his people die in battle. Eventually, Konohagakure offered a peace treaty from the Third Hokage himself. While the Iwa council was against the treaty, Ōnoki strongly considered accepting it to stop the bloodshed.[8] At some point, he became acquainted with Deidara,[9] becoming familiar with his ideologies and fighting style.[10] As Tsuchikage, he hired Akatsuki many times for their services in the past, which he rationalized by his concern over Kumogakure’s unwavering militarization.[11][12][13] He has also apparently known and dealt with the Fourth Raikage since he was young.[14] Later, Ōnoki received an invitation from Konohagakure and Sunagakure to join an impromptu Chūnin Exams they would be hosting together. Arrogantly thinking this was an attempt by the two villages to better gauge Iwagakure’s strength for an upcoming fight, Ōnoki quickly turned down the offer, merely replying to the hosts that his village was too busy.[15]

Appearance[]

Ōnoki Full Body

Ōnoki in Part II.

Ōnoki was a very short, old man with a triangular beard and a mustache that had angular corners, a big red nose, and thick eyebrows. The top of his head was completely bald, although, he had long white hair on the lower half of his head which was styled in a traditional chonmage haircut, the back of which was tied with a yellow ribbon into a topknot. Ōnoki wore a split-apart green coat divided into four sections with yellow trimmings, and a red collar (which in the anime was seen to be worn by other high-ranking members of Iwagakure).[16] Underneath he wore the traditional Iwagakure outfit consistent with a light green version of Iwagakure’s flak jacket and mesh armor; however, he had both the sleeves of his shirt, but kept the single lapel on his right side. Along with this, he wore sandals.

During the tenure of the First Tsuchikage, as an adolescent, Ōnoki had brown hair along with dark brown and thick eyebrows. He also wore a dark brown T-shirt and beige pants with black shinobi sandals. When he was a young adult, Ōnoki wore an outfit with armor plating on it and his forehead protector on his head like a bandanna.

Abilities[]

As the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki was easily one of the strongest shinobi Iwagakure ever produced. At over 80 years old, despite his considerably advanced age leaving his general health somewhat frail (constantly complaining about back and hip pain), he still proved able to lead his village with no waving doubt of the people. In battle, he still proved very capable, able to compete against various powerful foes including his reincarnated former master. He was well-regarded as a legendary shinobi, as Madara himself acknowledged Ōnoki as the main threat among Allied Shinobi Forces and the most difficult to break.[17] At full strength, he could wipe out twenty-five of Madara’s Susanoo-clad wood clones.[18]

Ninjutsu[]

Nature Transformation[]

Dust Release

Ōnoki using Dust Release.

Ōnoki was able to use Earth, Fire, Wind, and Yang Release, and by combining the first three elements, he could utilize Dust Release. With the kekkei tōta, he could pulverize a target to dust. The second shinobi in existence with the ability, Ōnoki’s Dust Release was quite powerful, capable of destroying an entire island reputedly,[19] and a massive forest in one blast.[20] He could alter the size and shape of his Dust Release technique, able to split it down the middle.[21]

Earth Release - Fist Rock Technique

Ōnoki also showed great prowess with Earth Release. He could create rock clones and massive golems to aid him,[22] as well as manipulate the terrain. Ōnoki also wielded Earth techniques that manipulate gravity, allowing him to increase or decrease an object’s weight, letting him restrict a target’s movements with the former and lift Genbu with the latter. He could also fly by decreasing his weight. To make up for his lack of physical strength, Ōnoki could cover his fist in rock to increase his striking power and further increase the weight to penetrate strong defenses. These techniques could also affect chakra-based substances, such as a Susanoo.[23]

Intelligence[]

Ōnoki was quite analytical in combat, normally feeling a potential opponent out first before engaging in direct combat. During the Fourth Shinobi World War, he suggested beginning the assault on the enemy with long-range techniques and then observing the enemies’ response to such attacks.[24] Ōnoki was also quick to figure out a powerful triple attack combination with A shortly after the latter’s arrival to the battlefield to face Madara.

Trivia[]

  • Written as 大仰, “Ōnoki” means “exaggeration”.
  • The word ryōtenbin (両天秤, Literally meaning: both scales) is idiomatically used to refer to both sides of an argument or both of two possible alternatives. This may be why the Viz translation has Ōnoki calling himself, “…the great Fence-Sitter of Iwagakure!”.
  • Studio Pierrot’s Settei sheets of Ōnoki show that he was 125.2cm tall when he shined the stone for the First Tsuchikage. A sheet for Boruto: Naruto Next Generations also incorrectly labels him as being 100 years old in the Mitsuki’s Disappearance Arc.
  • Ōnoki’s birthdate, October 8, makes his Western astrological sign Libra, or the scales.
  • In Tsunade’s Infinite Tsukuyomi dream, Ōnoki, along A and Mei Terumi, were killed and transformed into human puppets by Sasori.

Quotes[]

  • (To Kurotsuchi) “You…you idiot, who do you think I am!? I am the Tsuchikage, feared as Iwagakure’s Ōnoki of Both Scales!!” (「バ…バカ者 このワシを誰だと思ッとる!岩隠れ 両天秤のオオノキと恐れられた土影じゃぜ!!」, “Ba…bakamono Kono washi o dareda to omottoru! Iwagakure Ryōtenbin no Ōnoki to osorerareta Tsuchikage jaze!!”)[25]
  • (To Gaara) “The makeup of the five Kage sure has changed. You must be special to be made Kazekage at your age. Your father must have taught you right, but apparently, he forgot to instill in you any manners.”[26]
  • (To the Fourth Raikage) “…I suppose it’s better than losing this war…Because if the shinobi world disappears, there won’t be a place where I can quarrel with you……” (「…この戦争に負けるよりはマシじゃな… 忍の世がなくなればお前とケンカどころではないからの……」, …Kono sensō ni makeru yori wa mashi jana…Shinobi no yo ga nakunareba omae to kenkadokoro dewa nai kara no……)[27]
  • (To Kurotsuchi) “…Because I remembered…… …who I used to be before I became this hard-headed.” (「…思い出したからじゃ…… …頑固になる前の自分をな」, “…Omoi dashita kara ja…… …ganko ni naru mae no jibun o na”)[28]
  • (To Danzō) “It takes time to make ideals a reality. If you’re hasty, you'll lose sight of everything else and make mistakes…just like now.”[29]
  • (To Deidara) “Deidara…I trust you haven’t forgotten…how terrifying I can be!”[30]
  • (To Gaara) “I’m here to pick up the principles I tossed so long ago!”[31]
  • (To the Fourth Division shinobi) “Don’t already speak words of resignation! None of us should be abandoning themselves without doing anything! We have to do everything we can, even if it’s just small, got it!” (「まだ諦めの言葉を口にするな! 何もせんうちから己を捨てるな! 少しでもやれることをするんじゃぜ!」, “Mada akirame no kotoba wo kuchinisuru na! Nanimo sen'uchikara onorewosuteru na! Sukoshi demo yare rukotowosurun jaze!”)[32]
  • (About confronting Madara) “Hmph. The time to pick myself up off the ground is finally here…and there’s no opponent more worthy!”[33]
  • (To Madara) “We shinobi spend our entire lives in battle. Fighting only for our own villages. Never empathizing with others, only taking for our lives! If we rob, and are robbed in turn…if we are robbed from, we take back in revenge.”[34]
  • “Being old has its perks. To think I’d live to see the day…when the five Kage would stand and fight together!”[35]
  • (To the Kage) “Stand!!…Kage!! This is a matter of life or death! No more whimpering!! If we’re the last remnants of the five Kage…then we need to make sure our final words don’t ruin our reputations!! Naruto left this battle to us! We took this battle from him and vowed that we would win no matter what! And there’s one more thing…that we were left by every shinobi out there — They entrusted the titles of five Kage to us! We can’t let them down!!!”[36]
