The Three Haimaru Brothers (灰丸三兄弟, Haimaru Sankyōdai, Viz: Haimaru Littermate Trio) are the triplet canine companions of Hana Inuzuka.
Appearance
Being triplets all three dogs have the same grey fur with white undersides and short pointed ears. They have also seemingly grown larger since their last appearance.
Part I
Invasion of Konoha Arc
The three canines were first seen during Orochimaru's invasion of Konoha. Alongside Tsume Inuzuka, Kuromaru, and Hana, they aided in the fight against the invading Sand and Sound shinobi.
They also made an appearance alongside Hana in the anime-only filler episode Kiba's Long Day, in Part I.
Part II
Shinobi World War Arc
One of the triplets was seen alongside Hana when members of the Fifth Division were sent as backup after the enemy were detected. He and Hana use the Fang Revolving Fang technique to destroy the white Zetsu.
Trivia
- The 'Hai' in the name Haimaru means 'ash' or the colour 'grey' (as their name suggests, their fur is grey), and 'maru' meaning 'perfection' or 'full circle' is a common suffix for Japanese male names.
