Bull (ブル, Buru) is a ninken and a personal summon of Kakashi Hatake.

Background

Shiba and the other ninken are summoned to search Orochimaru.

After they made a contract with Kakashi, Akino and the other ninken aided him to search the abducted Rin Nohara by Kirigakure shinobi and acted as a diversion to allow them to flee. They also helped searching for the fleeing Orochimaru.

Personality

Befitting of his name, he is a large, intimidating black bulldog wearing a spiked collar. He and Pakkun seem to get along well enough for him to allow the latter to ride atop his head. Comparatively, Bull is the largest of Kakashi’s ninken.

Appearance

Bull is the largest summon in Kakashi’s ninken pack. He has dark fur and wears a spiked collar. He also wears the standard outfit of Kakashi’s ninken which consists of a blue vest with the heno-heno-moheji seal and a Konoha forehead protector worn on his left front leg.

Abilities

Summoning: Earth Release: Tracking Fang Technique.

Bull possesses heightened senses with which he can use to track his target with ease. He has also demonstrated the ability to track his target underground through the use of the Summoning: Earth Release: Tracking Fang Technique and hold a target down, allowing Kakashi to attack them freely. He also has exceptional teamwork with the rest of his pack, able to develop and effectively use several offensive, and defensive formations in battle which make use of the maneuverability and powerful limbs.
