Shigure

Shigure ( シグレ ) was a genin from Amegakure and the leader of Team Shigure .

## Personality [ ]

He has been described as arrogant, presumptuous, and active. A prime example of his arrogance was his extreme underestimation of Gaara's skills, believing that Gaara was no match for him. He also seemed to hold a deep respect for his village as seen when Gaara talked down to Amegakure. He became angry at Gaara's remarks but was able to stay calm and collected until an actual battle broke out and lunged at Gaara.

## Appearance [ ]

Shigure had short spiky brown hair with a strip of gauze covering his forehead and his mouth partly stitched on the right side. He also had two scars running up his cheek, one of which had blinded his right eye, causing him to constantly keep it closed. He carried an oxygen tank and a sheath for his umbrellas on his back.

## Abilities [ ]

According to Akamaru's reaction, he had very strong chakra. He could use his umbrellas to shoot senbon from above to kill his enemy. The senbon are controlled by Shigure's chakra , leaving no place to escape the technique. He had used that ability many times to make it literally rain blood even though he was just a genin, and Ame had high hopes that he would pass the Chūnin Exams . He also seems to be confident in close-range combat , as he rushed towards Gaara in a final attempt to bring him down.
