Tonbee

is a member of the Tsuchigumo Clan who was left to guard the sacred fortress of his clan.
== Personality ==
Tonbee is a very calm and collected man with a great sense of duty as well as respect. This was witnessed in his willingness to sacrifice himself to allow Hotaru to escape to safety as well as his unwillingness to abandon the fortress where he was stationed.
== Appearance ==
He is an elderly man with short grey hair, a bristling moustache and dark eyes. He wears a simple, v-neck, long-sleeved shirt with a sleeveless coat, a pair of pants and sandals.
== Abilities ==
Though not much has been shown of Tonbee's skills, he is seemingly very proficient with trap-setting, using very sophisticated traps that made use of seals, which may mean he is also very proficient with seal-related techniques. He was also seemingly confident enough in his abilities that he remained behind to hold off a group of mercenaries to allow Hotaru to escape. He has also displayed the ability to summon bats.
== Part II ==
=== Six-Tails Unleashed ===
When Mount Katsuragi was attacked by a group of ninja, Tonbee sent a messenger bird to contact Konohagakure for help and had Hotaru take the Tsuchigumo Clan's kinjutsu to their village. Tonbee told Utakata to protect Hotaru. Tonbee confronted Akaboshi and his group where they easily defeat him. They questioned Tonbee of the kinjutsu's location only to discover Hotaru has it and they headed off searching for her. Team 7 came across Tonbee badly injured. Sakura stayed with Tonbee while the rest of the team looked for Hotaru.
Later after his wounds were treated by Sakura, Tonbee woke up with dismay upon learning that Naruto knew the truth about Hotaru that her grandfather embedded the kinjutsu on her back. After Hotaru explained how she asked for it to help restore the clan's honour, Tonbee regretfully admitted he feared the clan will never regain their former status in the world. Feeling that it would be better to destroy the clan's kinjutsu, Tonbee revealed a way to safely remove it from Hotaru's body. 
After Team Yamato stopped the ninja bandits and saved Hotaru, Tonbee returned to the Tsuchigumo village where he thanked them for all they've done and bid them farewell.
== Trivia ==
