Akatsuchi

赤ツチ

Akatsuchi is a large shinobi from Iwagakure who serves as an escort for the Tsuchikage.
Akatsuchi has a very jovial and childish nature, and he always appears to maintain a cheerful disposition. He was excited by the prospect of flying again, even though there was a possibility that they were heading into battle.[1] He was even excited when he believed Deidara had survived the fight against Sasuke, despite Deidara being a criminal and their enemy. During battles, he acts very level-headed and efficient as the Tsuchikage's bodyguard. He is also fiercely loyal to the Tsuchikage, as demonstrated when he offered to carry the Tsuchikage's luggage against his will, refused to leave his side upon hearing of Sasuke's fight in case Oonoki's hip gave out, and as stated by Deidara.
