Furui (フルイ) was an elite shinobi from Kumogakure and a member of the Eight-Tails Subduing Team.
Background[]
Furui impaled by the Eight-Tails’ horn.
Thirty years before the start of the Fourth Shinobi World War, Furui was killed by the Eight-Tails during one of its scuffles, being impaled by one of its horns. His death strained the friendly relationship between his son Motoi and Killer B when the latter became the new jinchūriki of the Eight-Tails.
Personality[]
Furui was shown to be a very brave individual who loved his village greatly, rallying the rest of his teammates to continue restraining the Eight-Tails because if they gave up, Kumogakure would be destroyed.
Appearance[]
Furui was a man with dark spiky hair. He wore round glasses, the standard Kumogakure flak jacket, a forehead protector, and shin guards. In all, Furui and his son bear great resemblance.
Abilities[]
Lightning Release: Electric Discharge.
Furui was skilled enough to have been selected by the Third Raikage as part of a special team that subdued the former jinchūriki whenever it lost control of the beast and went on a rampage. Furui was seen using a chain with a weight on the end as his weapon to hold down the beast. It is also revealed that he could use Lightning Release techniques as he used a powerful lightning technique to halt the beast’s movements long enough to allow his teammates to subdue the Eight-Tails.
Trivia[]
- Furui can mean “ancient” or “trembling”.
