Kushimaru Kuriarare is a shinobi from the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist. He wields the blade known as Nuibari. With Nuibari, Kushimaru is able to pierce his targets and stitch them together.
Personality[]
In the anime, it was revealed that Kushimaru was a ruthless man who enjoyed fighting and committing violence. He was stated to have murdered his own sensei once, as well. Like Jinpachi Munashi, he is prideful of being a member of the Seven Swordsman of the Mist. He greatly despise those who uses the swords of the Seven Swordsmen without being a member of the group.
Abilities[]
Kushimaru is a skilled swordsman who is capable of using the Nuibari. With the Nuibari, Kushimaru is capable of piercing and impaling all his targets. Since his sword has a string attached to it, he can maneuver it to strike another target and pierce the target. After piercing and impaling a few other individuals, Kushimaru will grab the sword and knock all the targets he has stitched together. His use of the Nuibari makes him a formidable fighter from the Seven Swordsmen. With his gangling appearance, he is also very fast on his feet.
With his partner, Jinpachi Munashi, they can work effectively as a team to bring down their targets. They are a strong duo who was capable of overwhelming Kakashi and Guy (who are famed and powerful shinobi themselves) multiple times in their battle against them.
