Giant Marlin

This Giant Marlin was once a summon during the Third Shinobi World War who did not return to its birthplace because it had a Fūma shuriken stuck to its head.

## Background [ ]

After the war, it stayed at the Land of Fire 's harbour, attacking any boats in open water. Yūsuke and his father tried to catch it, but the attempt failed and resulted in Yūsuke's father's death.

## Appearance [ ]

While it is mostly similar to a common marlin, it is also of a titanic stature shown to be several times larger than a rowing-boat. It had a blue grey colouration upon its body and fins along with bright red eyes. Its most peculiar feature, however, was its snout, which had the shape and abilities of a double-edged sword. For a number of years, the marlin also had a fūma shuriken embedded into its head.

## Abilities [ ]

The marlin possessed a large sword-like appendage at the end of its snout. The sword was capable of injuring Might Guy in their initial confrontation and it appears to be as equally dense as the wood created by Yamato's Wood Release: Great Forest Technique . The marlin was extremely fast and could maintain its top speed for an extended period of time. Might Guy was forced to open five of the Eight Gates in order to row fast enough to keep up with the marlin.

## Part II [ ]
