Pakura (パクラ) was a famed Sunagakure kunoichi during her lifetime.

Background

In the anime, Pakura's background is explained. Pakura used to be the sensei of Maki before her death. Pakura was sent on a mission to stop Iwagakure's plans during their feud with Suna and successfully accomplished the mission and was hailed as a hero by the village. Some time later, Pakura was sent on another mission to meet with Kirigakure as a messenger but was betrayed and killed by the ambush they set. After her death, the Fourth Kazekage had pin the blame on Iwa for her death.[2]

Personality

Pakura seems to have a moral code of sorts, shown when she was surprised that she was going to fight what she deemed "children".[3]

Appearance

She has green hair, which she ties in a bun on top of her head with a hair needle running through it. She also has two locks of hair with orange tips framing each side of her face. Due to the Impure World Reincarnation technique, her eyes have black sclerae and white irides, though before her persona was eradicated, it was shown that she had pupiless brown eyes. Her typical attire consists of a sleeveless, backless top and short tight pants, with two lapels on the front and the back. She wears an obi around her waist, as well as purple arm-warmers which extend up to her shoulders, and has bandages around her tights and ankles.

Abilities

Scorch Release suns

Pakura was a renowned kunoichi whose skills earned her enough fame during her life that Kabuto chose to reincarnate her to fight for Akatsuki.

Nature Transformation

She possesses a kekkei genkai known as Scorch Release.[4] By combining two unknown chakra natures, she can create heat orbs that "mummify" her enemies, killing them seemingly by evaporating all the moisture in their bodies. Pakura displays this ability when using Scorch Release: Extremely Steaming Murder;[5] combined with her incredible agility, she managed to kill many Allied Shinobi Forces members in a short amount of time. In the anime, she can combine all of her heat orbs into one giant one which is strong enough to completely destroy a large part of a forest.[6]

Part II

Shinobi World War Arc

In preparation for the Fourth Shinobi World War, Pakura is reincarnated by Kabuto Yakushi to fight against the Allied Shinobi Forces, before being mobilised alongside Gari, Toroi, Haku and Zabuza Momochi.

Pakura Shakuton

Pakura mummifies several shinobi.

Ambushed by the Surprise Attack Division, Pakura likely sustained damage due to the explosive tags carried by Sai's ink birds, though if she did, it would have healed quickly. Hesitant to attack what appears in her eyes to be just "children", Pakura is forced to storm the recently grounded opposition nonetheless, but is fortunately intercepted by a member of the Third Division. After Kabuto erases her consciousness, an unthinking Pakura launches into an assault with her Scorch Release: Extremely Steaming Murder technique, mummifying several shinobi in her wake. She and Gari are then used as mediums to summon the previous generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist to overwhelm the enemy. Accomplishing this, both retreat to a safe distance to await further orders, as the swordsmen begin their concealed massacre.

In the anime, as dawn broke on the war's second day, Pakura had reappeared on the battlefield. Pakura locates the squad led by Monga and mummifies the shinobi. Pakura is surprised to see her grown student and explains she wants to "vent her frustration" on her manipulators and her betrayers. Pakura reveals her secret mission to Maki and that she was killed by the Kirigakure ninja in an act of trechery. Though a Kirigakure kunoichi by Maki's side explains her village turned over a new leaf and has changed for the better since new Mizukage, Pakura explains it still does not erase the village's past sins.

As the squad hides from her, Pakura incinerates the area to kill them. Pakura finds the shinobi and Maki tries to convince her teacher that they can change the future but her plea falls on deaf ears. Omoi and Zaji arrive to stop Pakura from killing the squad and fight her off until Gari participates in the fight. Seeing Maki's growth, Pakura has a change of heart and keeps Gari in place with her flame orbs, allowing her student's squad to run. Starting to feel at peace, Pakura's consciousness fades away as Kabuto eradicates hers and Gari's personalities once more.[2]

However, by the time Kakashi Hatake and Might Guy departed for Naruto Uzumaki's location, Pakura had been sealed by the Third Division.[7] Later, with the release of the Impure World Reincarnation technique, a light of sorts encased Pakura's sealed body as the technique was dispelled, and her soul was returned to the afterlife.
