Matsuri (マツリ) is a character in the anime and manga series Naruto.
Though she is only seen in one single frame of the Naruto Manga, the Anime by Studio Pierrot largened her role in the animated series so that she has made several small appearances in additional scenes and filler episodes.
Her name "Matsuri" means "festival".
Part I
Chunin Exam arc
Shortly before the third exam of the Chuunin Exams begins, Matsuri is part of Iruka Umino's academy class and is listening together with Konohamaru and several other students to an outdoor lecture on the previous Hokages of Konohagakure. This lecture is interrupted by the Third Hokage who asks the children about the people they wish to protect one day. Matsuri then questions Sarutobi whether or not he has such a person himself, whereupon he states that he is fighting for "everyone in the village".
During the following Invasion of Konoha by the joined forces of Sunagakure and Otogakure she is evacuated along with all of her classmates under supervision of Iruka Umino.
Anime Filler Arcs
In Episode 142 Matsuri, a few other Academy Students and Shikamaru Nara say goodbye to the Sand Siblings, when they leave Konoha after they teached at the Konoha Ninja Academy for a short period of time.
In Episode 158 Matsuri takes part in a training mission to Mount Takurami. The Fifth Hokage assigned her classmates Nobori and Daichi to be her teammates, along with Hinata Hyūga as a temporary squad leader. The team was lucky to have a tent, when a big storm emerged, protecting them from the heavy rain.
Part II
It is currently unknown whether or not she passed the Academy Graduation Test during the timeskip, like Konohamaru, Moegi and Udon did, as her sole post timeskip appearance yet, was during an Omake at the end of Shippūden Episode 73, which isn't considered as canon.
Trivia
Due to the two characters having the same name, she is easily confused with Matsuri from Sunagakure, who also was an Academy Student during Part I.
