[Source] A biomechanical marvel of San's devise, though Hiruko had a large hand in its actual creation, San's bird is one of a kind. Dwarfing towns with its wingspan and deafening them with its chakra-fueled biological jet engines, there are few birds capable of matching its strength. Menacing many of Mount Shumisen's inhabitants' victims, including the likes of Gaara, Naruto, and Sakura, it eventually met its match in a fight with Shikamaru, Ino, and Choji.
