Tanishi (タニシ, Tanishi) is a boy from the Genjutsu Tree Village. Kandachi, a missing-nin from Amegakure, attacks and takes over the village, killing Tanishi's father, Sukune, in the process. Tanishi is initially scared, but Naruto changes him and helps him with their plan to retake the village. In the end, they grieve the death of his father Sukune, who gave his life for the village. He was present during the battle between Naruto and Kandachi, helping by taking the villagers to a safe location. Before meeting Naruto, Tanishi didn't seem to believe in himself, but this changes after Kandachi is defeated.
