This giant centipede was a summon of Pain.

Appearance[]

This giant centipede summon had a number of body piercings, most notable the one sticking through its head, and the Rinnegan, implying it was being controlled by Pain. Its face and all of its feet where orange.

Abilities[]

Though not much was seen of its abilities, it did use its large body to demolish buildings in Konohagakure.[1]

Part II[]

Pain's Assault[]

It was summoned during Pain's attack on Konoha to wreak havoc on the village and cause confusion. It was however killed by a single punch from Sakura Haruno.

Trivia[]

  • This summon is reminiscent of the Japanese legend of the ōmukade, a giant human-eating centipede that lives in the mountains.
  • In the anime, it was summoned in Konoha alongside two other identical centipedes, one of which was impaled and killed by Shikamaru Nara, and the other crossed paths with Moegi.[2]
