Korobi

Korobi is a ninja from Sunagakure and serves as a subordinate to Gaara, alongside Yaoki. He was assigned a mission with Yaoki and Gaara to stop a group of bandits located between Suna and Konoha, a mission that Team 7 was also assigned to. He appeared cowardly and wimpy due to Gaara's killing impulses, which he overcame after Suna's invasion. When Gaara was caught in a trap by Suna's assassination squad, he ordered Korobi and Yaoki to flee. Naruto encounters them, learns that Gaara was captured, and asks why they abandoned their friend. Both Korobi and Yaoki questioned whether Gaara was actually their friend. Korobi and Yaoki both assisted Naruto in rescuing Gaara. After their mission concluded, Gaara asked Korobi and Yaoki what they had said to him, and they happily replied that they are his friends.
