Satori (サトリ) is a demonic, bird-like creature that appears in Naruto 5: Blood Prison.

Appearance

The beast, Satori, is large, similar in size to Gamabunta and the Eight-Tails, with large wings. It is headless, with bones potruding from the mouth on its chest and is covered in black feathers. It also has a long thin tail, and its hands and feet are clawed and sickly thin to the point where it looks almost bone-like with skin attached.

Background

According to Gamabunta, the Box of Ultimate Bliss 'brings forth Satori', 'actuates Satori' and 'ends in Satori'. From his words with Naruto during the confrontation between the two massive beasts, Satori is merely a puppet of the box and captures enemies to throw them into the box itself. The origins of the Box of Ultimate Bliss itself is a mystery, once more according to Gamabunta, but it has been around since the time of the Rikudo Sennin.

In the Naruto Movie "Blood Prison", Satori used Muku as a way to form into the beast that he is. Whether or not Satori actually needs a human sacrifice to become 'real' is unknown. It is also unknown whether Satori is 'actually' a single entity, but perhaps a form of power that transforms the body 'into' Satori itself, thus becoming the Box's Puppet.

In the Movie, during Gamabunta's talk with Naruto about the Box and Satori, a brief flashback was seen showing what could be the 'First' Satori that entered the world.

Abilities

It can shoot its feathers and giant spheres at high speeds and appears to be very strong and a fast flyer. Due to the Box of Ultimate Bliss, its body can detect fear and blood lust, which causes it to instinctively dodge essentially all attacks from opponents who have any fear in them. This ability allowed it to dodge all of the attacks from the entirety of the Konoha 11 and Naruto Uzumaki, even while he was in Sage Mode.

Trivia

• It was thought that Satori had the ability to read the minds and hearts of his opponents in order to evade all of their attacks, but in reality its body detected certain emotions like fear, causing it to instinctively dodge their attacks.
• Satori comes from a Japanese Buddhist term for enlightenment, meaning "understanding" and is based upon the yōkai of Japanese folklore.

Quotes

• (To Naruto during their confrontation) You may have mastered Senjutsu, but you've yet to free yourself from fear.
