Guren

Voiced By: Eri Miyajima (JP), Erin Fitzgerald (EN)

Guren (紅蓮, Guren) is a kunoichi from Otogakure and the female leader of Orochimaru's subordinates. She uses the unique Crystal Release brand of techniques. She wants to be Orochimaru's next body. After Orochimaru found Sasuke, he no longer had any use for Guren until she is called by Orochimaru to escort a boy name Yuukimaru alive to the lake where the Three Tails Sanbi lives. Yuukimaru is young and his body is weak. He fall ill during the trip and starts to grow feelings for Guren. As Yuukimaru can somehow control the Sanbi, Guren is forced to see Kabuto using Yuukimaru's powers to the limit, putting his health in jeopardy. In the end, Guren choose to forget Orochimaru and flee with Yuukimaru in a place where Orochimaru will not be.

Hotaru

File:Hotaru 2014.jpg

Hotaru is the pupil of the six-tail host Utakata in the dedicated arc. The latter denies being her master, but taught her a few techniques nonetheless (although some unintentionally…) She has a powerful and dangerous technique sealed inside her. She is deceived by a man named Shiranami, who wants to activate this technique. Utakata saves her, and acknowledges her as his student, before being captured by Pain.

• Instant Expert: Utakata deliberately teaches her a high-level technique from the get-go so that she lets him alone, but she actually succeeds!
• Ms. Fanservice: Filler or not, she is probably the bustiest girl of the series after Tsunade, and the animators are not affraid to emphasize it. When she bares her back to reveal the technique placed inside her, her cleavage is unsubtle to say the least.
• Sealed An Atomic Bomb Inside A Person Shaped Can
• Teacher-Student Romance: She seems to like Utakata more than a little, although it's probably one-sided.

Idate Morino

Voiced By: Hiromichi Kogami (JP), Roger Craig Smith (EN)

Idate Morino (森乃イダテ, Morino Idate) is the younger brother of Ibiki Morino. Former Ninja of Konoha, he was manipulated by Rokushou Aio to steal The 2nd Hokage's Raijin Sword. After Aoi defect to the Hidden Rain, Idate is framed for treason and defects from Konoha. Idate joins the Wasabi family after he's adopted by Jirōchō Wasabi, head of the Wasabi family in the Land of Tea.

• Dead Older Brother: Or so Idate thought. He's actually shocked to hear Ibiki is very much alive.
• Fragile Speedster
• Hot-Blooded: Not to the extent of Rock Lee, but still.
• Face Heel Turn: It's not like he wanted to, but unwanted events leads him to that. Defecting was all he could do.

Sora

Voiced By: Daisuke Hirakawa (JP), Michael Sinterniklaas (EN)

• Blow You Away

Yaoki and Korobi

From the filler episode "Gaara's Bond" they are two Suna shinobi paired with Gaara for a mission. They're both terrified of him since this takes place very, very recently after his Heel Face Turn and they remember the things he's done. Both of them are puppeteers, though they also can fight hand to hand, as shown when helping fight Gaara's would-be assassins with sticks.

voiced by:?

• Fridge Logic: Gaara calls them rookies, but they both seem to be wearing chunin vests.
• Heel Realization: Naruto, on the way to help Gaara, calls them out on abandoning their "friend". Korobi quietly questions Yaoki about their actions, and they go back and help Gaara, telling him they're his friends. They also reaffirm the statement at the end of the episode.
• Lovable Coward: Not serious cowardliness, per say, since many Sand Shinobi had been scared of Gaara for years and he'd only recently done a Heel Face Turn as of the time of the episode (and the cowardliness in no way applies to the mission). The loveable part comes after their Heel Realization and they go help Naruto save Gaara.
• Repeat What You Just Said: Gaara says this, and Yaoki quietly apologizes for leaving him to the assassins earlier. Gaara does the "no, before that" and the guys realize what he really wants them to say:

Yaoki and Korobi: We're your friends!

• Spanner in the Works: Not hugely, since Naruto was doing most of the work, but them coming back and helping Gaara, while saying he's their friend, clearly unsettled the squad of assassins at least. Their behavior may also have been part of the reason for Gaara's leniency against the people who tried to kill him.
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom: A very mild version, but the puppets they're carrying are used by the assassin squad against Gaara, and were apparently given to them for that exact purpose since the puppets are perfect suited to trap him. One would of course wonder why the squad wouldn't have carried those themselves (outside of Korobi and Yaoki being closer to Gaara, physically).

Condor

Condor is an ostrich that Team 7 was once tasked to retrieving. At some point after Sasuke's defection, Condor escapes again, apparently taking several levels in badass in the process.

• Badass: He's an ostrich who taught himself ninjutsu! And he's at least Chunin-level!
• Beware the Silly Ones
• Canon Immigrant: Sort of. So far, he's one of the only filler character to later show up in a canon arc, but only in the anime.
• Curb Stomp Battle: Delivers one to Kotetsu until Izumo shows up.
• Feathered Fiend: Type D.
• Not So Harmless
• Real Birds Wear Pink: He wears three pink ribbons on his neck.
• The Rival: Considers himself to be one to Naruto.
• Talking Animal: Also taught himself how to talk.
• Took a Level In Badass: In between his first and second appearances.
