It was used in ancient Japan by samurai officers to communicate with their troops. Nowadays, it is used by referees of professional sumō matches. [[Madara Uchiha]] during his lifetime was famed for the use of this fan in battle. [[Obito Uchiha]] would later wield this fan while posing as the legendary Uchiha, before returning it to his [[Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation|reincarnated]] ancestor during the [[Fourth Shinobi World War]].<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 601, pages 7-8</ref> It is a wide fan with [[tomoe]] on it and has a long handle with bandages wrapped around the base, as well as having a long chain attached to it. In the past, when Madara used it, it was brown with a black border, with red tomoe, and a chain was attached to the handle that appears to have been connected to his [[kama]].<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 398, pages 1-2</ref><ref>''Naruto'' chapter 398, page 18</ref><ref>''Naruto'' chapter 399, pages 10-11</ref> When Obito started using it, it was depicted as having a purple tint with a black border, and tomoe design on it, with the chain appearing to enter his sleeve.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 520, page 2</ref> During the [[Third Shinobi World War]] it was seen hanging on a wall inside the caverns of the [[Mountains' Graveyard]].<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 604, page 8</ref> Obito wielded the gunbai predominantly like a flail using the chain attached to guide the fan which he can use also as a shield because of its durability, as it was able to block Naruto's [[Super Mini-Tailed Beast Ball]] without receiving any noticeable damage.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 594, pages 15-16</ref> Madara also wielded it, both as a shield and as a flail in conjunction with his [[kama]], and it also allowed him to perform various techniques. == Utilised Techniques == * ''[[Gunbai Barrier Technique]]'' * ''[[Gunbai Fanned Wind]]'' * [[Uchiha Return]] == Trivia == * In the anime cut-scene of ''[[Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations]]'', Madara is seen using his gunbai to create [[Wind Release|powerful gusts of wind]], capable of blocking projectiles and blowing enemies away, as well as a melee weapon in combination with his kama. == See Also == * [[Wikipedia:Japanese war fan|Japanese war fan]] == References == <references/> [[de:Madaras Gunbai]] [[he:ג'וטסו זימון]] __NOTOC__ Summary: Minor edit Follow this page Cancel
