Guren

“	He is the place to which I can return!	„
	~ Guren to Naruto Uzumaki about Yūkimaru

Summary

Guren is a kunoichi from Otogakure and the leader of a group of Orochimaru's subordinates, possessing the unique Crystal Release kekkei genkai. She was intended to be Orochimaru's next vessel but he instead chose Kimimaro, so she spent most of her life trying to win over Orochimaru's respect and acknowledgment so that she could become his next vessel instead of Sasuke Uchiha. However, this would change after she met a young boy named Yukimaru who she instead decided to protect and give a home after the catastrophic events with the Three-Tails.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

• Crystal Release: is a rare nature that can convert any matter into crystal, from physical material to moisture in the air, allowing them to turn anything into a weapon. This extends to other physical natures, rendering earth, water, and wood useless against it. Guren can use her abilities on living creatures, targets can be crystallized down to a cellular level, imprisoning them so long as the crystals are in place and shattering them if the crystals are struck, killing them. Crystal Release users can also manipulate pre-existing crystals and crystalline structures.

Note: Guren exclusively appears in the anime only Three Tails arc and as such no canon Naruto characters can scale from her or the entire arc.
