She forms spheres of heat like small suns that orbit around her and that she controls at will. When one touches someone, it evaporates the water in their body in an instant and leaves a mummified corpse, with steam rising from the skin. Kabuto reanimates her with the Impure World Reincarnation and erases her personality to use her in the war.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-522","ep":"shippuden-265","pos":522},{"h":"In combat","t":"With her agility and the speed of her spheres, Pakura kills several Alliance members in a short time. Kabuto picked her for her fame: she was known as a hero of Suna. Reanimated, she cannot choose whom to fight, which makes her all the more dangerous to her former comrades. Her style relies on controlling several spheres at once and moving quickly between them, never letting her opponent get close.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-522","pos":522},{"h":"A combination of her own","t":"The technique looks like fire, but it is hinted that it combines two natures, fire and wind. Producing flames is not enough to use it, and it is not common to all of Suna either: it is a kekkei genkai, Pakura's own. That is why the village's other shinobi do not inherit it or learn it from her. This kind of kekkei genkai shows up in very few people, and in Pakura's case no one else is known to have it.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-634","pos":634},{"h":"Pakura and Maki","t":"The anime expands her story. Pakura had been sent to Kirigakure as an envoy, but she was ambushed and killed; Suna's leaders blamed Iwagakure. She died hating both villages. During the war she crosses paths with Maki, her student, and decides to give the young a chance before Kabuto erases her personality again. In the anime, the technique shows a weak point: water dissipates the heat.","lvl":1,"ep":"shippuden-285","pos":544}],"characters":["pakura"],"related":["chakra","kekkei-genkai"],"reference":"Reading guide for the series indicated.
