Naruto/Characters/Hebi

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Hebi ("Snake") is the group that Sasuke forms when he's looking to exact his revenge against Itachi. After Itachi's death, Sasuke renames the group Taka ("Hawk/Eagle") and they join forces with the remainder of the Akatsuki. They only appear in Shippuden.


All Hebi members provide example of:

Suigetsu Hozuki

Voiced by: Takashi Kondo (JP), Grant George (EN)

A former ninja from the prominent Hozuki family of Water Country. He and his brother wanted to be members of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, but this was cut short when his brother died and he was captured by Orochimaru at some point and used for expirements. Something of A Blood Knight, as he was apparently some sort of prodigy for cutting off his opponent's limbs before beheading them, though apparently gets along with animals. Can transform into liquid to avoid damage. Takes Zabuza's sword, and wants to take Kisame's. His goal is evidently to take the swords of all the Swordsmen of the Mist. He gets captured by the samurai at the Kage Summit, but he manages to break out of jail with Jugo.



Karin Uzumaki

Voiced by: Kanako Tojo (JP), Ali Hillis (EN)

Only female in Hebi. She has long since been a subordinate to Orochimaru and has been both an experimenter and an experimentee in his Mad Scientist ventures. She has a very powerful chakra-sensing ability. Wildly in love with Sasuke, just like nearly every other female in the series, but rude to everyone else. Not much of a combatant, but she can heal others by having them bite her. Former genin from the Hidden Village of Grass and one of the scattered remnants of the Uzumaki Clan. After Sasuke betrays her during his fight with Danzo, she is taken by Team 7 to Konoha.



Jugo

Voiced by: Shuhei Sakaguchi (JP), Travis Willingham (EN)

Big guy whose personality flip-flops between a psychopath and a really nice guy. He once roamed the countryside destroying villages when he was consumed by his berserk rage and willingly subjected himself to Orochimaru's human experimentation labs to look for a cure for his condition. He can talk to animals as well as transform his body. Orochimaru made his Cursed Seals by replicating an enzyme that his body produced. He gets captured by the samurai during the Kage Summit, but he manages to break out of jail with Suigetsu. The enzyme in Jugo's body causes his split personality by slowly accumulating natural energy constantly over time until it has to be released at which point Jugo snaps into a violent frenzy.
