Jutsu Green Egg Bombs (Anime only)

This summon is a large bird which has a number of body piercings and the Rinnegan, implying that it is being controlled by Pain.

Appearance Edit

The bird itself is unusual, as not only does it demonstrate a prominent and jagged beak, but it also features three distinct legs as well as wings. In the anime, however, it only has two wings.

Abilities Edit

This summon can move at an incredibly fast speed, and can use that velocity combined with its beak to form powerful dive attacks. In the anime, the bird had additional abilities where it could lay a large quantity of eggs that subsequently explode like bombs, and while flying low over Konoha produced dust clouds strewn with lightning in its wake.

Part II Edit

Itachi Pursuit Arc Edit

It is summoned briefly during Pain's fight with Jiraiya.

Invasion of Pain Arc Edit

He is summoned again to attack Naruto after he uses his perfected Rasenshuriken.

Shinobi World War Arc Edit

The bird was next summoned by the reincarnated Nagato alongside the Giant Multi-Headed Dog to provide a way for Nagato to move. Itachi soon retreats atop of the bird's head alongside Nagato. Later, after Itachi is freed from Kabuto's control, he used Amaterasu on both Nagato and the giant bird, incapacitating it and its summoner.

Trivia Edit

• This summon's three legs make it reminiscent of Yatagarasu, the three-legged crow of Amaterasu, the Shintō goddess of the sun. Ironically it was defeated by Itachi's Amaterasu technique.
• In its first appearance it was depicted with three legs and two wings. Later, after being summoned by the reincarnated Nagato, it was depicted with four legs and four wings.^[1]
