Torune
Torune is one of Danzō's bodyguards and a minor antagonist in Naruto. He is an adoptive brother of Shino Aburame.
He was voiced by Hidenori Takahashi in Japanese and Grant George in English.
Biography[]
In the Five Kage Arc, Torune and Fū were accompanying Danzō to the conference and aid Danzō in escaping. He and Fū fought Tobi but was defeated by the masked man. They were later used as demonstrations for Kabuto Yakushi's Impure World Reincarnation using Fū as a sacrifice and revive Torune.
Personality[]
Torune is stoic like many members of the Root. He is also very loyal to his leader, Danzō, and would do anything under his command. He showed no fear fighting Tobi (who was using Madara Uchiha's name at the time). Torune cares about his partner, Fū, and would protect him against his own nano-sized insects. Torune is also shown to want things to be done rather quickly, as seen when he pulled out one of his strongest techniques, the parasitic body technique, to defeat Tobi and put an end to the conflict.
He is also affable and on good terms with his adoptive brother, Shino.
Powers and Abilities[]
As one of Danzō's guards and a member of the Aburame clan, Torune is an exceptional fighter. He is capable of using his clan's ability of controlling insects to cover his entire body to make him poison his targets on contact. With his parasitic body technique, he was able to infect Tobi's arm and force the latter to remove it. Torune's ability with the parasitic body technique was known well that Tobi praised it for its potency.
