For 1 minute, Nagare may move any one inanimate object that is a 10 ft. cube or smaller not being held or worn by a creature or suspended in the air within 120 ft. up to 20 ft. in any direction at will once on his turn. He may make an unarmed strike using an object by spending 5 feet of the object's movement. REACTIONS Substitution (3+ Chakra). When Nagare is hit by an attack and would take damage, he decreases the damage by 11 (1d10 + 6) and teleports up to 15 ft. in any direction to an unoccupied space, during which he takes the Hide action. A generic object is left in his place and he takes any remaining damage from that attack. Nagare can reduce this damage by an additional 5 (1d10) points per chakra point spent over the initial cost.

[Source]. One of Hoki's underlings in the Watari Ninja, Nagare and his partner Hokushin were sent to ensure the squad of genin from the Hidden Leaf Village he had hired to deal with the Cursed Warrior returned to their village, but was deceived by Kakashi into following a group of monkeys instead. When he ambushed Kakashi to keep Hoki's secret safe, he underestimated the legendary jonin, and was quickly defeated.
