Kuriarare, Kushimaru

栗霰串丸

Kushimaru Kuriarare (Kuriarare Kushimaru) was a former member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and served in Kirigakure's ANBU.
Kushimaru wielded the unique longsword Nuibari. Using it, he could not only pierce multiple enemies with precision in rapid succession but also stitch them together by employing a substantial length of wire attached to the blade. This effectively showcased his skilled dexterity with this needle-like sword, as he was able to repeatedly catch it securely just moments after driving the blade through his opponents.
