Kirabi

Name: Kirābī

Gender: Male

Village: Cloud

Rank: Jounin

Age: 32

Element: Lightning

Summonings: None
8-tails arc: Taka tracks Kirābī to the Valley of Clouds and Lightning soon after he finishes training with his tailed beast. When Suigetsu attacked him, he easily overpowered him, and uses Suigetsu's sword to defeat Jugo afterward. He later shows an unorthodox sword style where he manages to hold all seven of his swords in a rather awkward pose; this is deceiving as his seven sword style is extremely formidable and he even fatally wounds Sasuke Uchiha as Sasuke could not track the sword movements even with his Sharingan.

As he moves in to finish Sasuke, Suigetsu comes to save him while Jugo attacks from behind. Even while the three fighting him at once Kirābī appears unfazed by their attacks and quickly moves away from their location. Finally getting annoyed with Taka, Kirābī announces he will unveil the "Eight One". Kirābī formed his own demon chakra shield and proceeded to attack Taka. Sasuke then attempted to place him in a genjutsu but as Sasuke lowered his guard, Kirābī struck. In the end, he blasted a hole in Sasuke's chest and neck claiming that a Jinchuriki that has full control of his beast can become immune to genjutsu. He then completely released the full power of the Eight-Tailed Beast, ordering the team to cower in fear of him.

After the Eight Tails was hit with Sasuke's Amaterasu, it transformed back into an unconscious Kirābī. With his defeat, Sasuke carries him away. When his brother, the current Raikage, learns of his capture, he makes plans to deal with Sasuke and Akatsuki. When Akatsuki later tries to extract the eight-tails from Kirābī's body, they find that it is only one of the beast's tentacles disguised as Kirābī. He had made the appearance that he was captured to escape his village, where he had grown bored of being a guardian. Since his village now believes him to be captured, he uses this as an opportunity to take a "vacation" from being a guardian. As Eight Tails comments that a new era is coming, Kirābī thinks he means about his new music career.

Equipment: 7 swords

Outfit:

Abilities: Even though he has only been shown in one fight so far, Kirābī has shown to be an extremely powerful ninja. He was easily capable of overwhelming the entire Team Taka, and has had his skill praised by several Kumogakure ninja, including his brother, the current Raikage.

His physical strength and taijutsu skill is immense. He is easily capable of disarming a skilled opponent with his bare hands, and proficiently wielded Suigetsu's huge sword seconds after picking it up. His defense is very strong as well, receiving a solid kick to the neck from Sasuke only to drop his sword and begin writing lyrics, and escaping unscathed after being shocked with Sasuke's Chidori and hit from behind with Jugo's rocket-augmented attack.

His specialty, however, is wielding his seven swords, which he does in an odd way, holding them in between the joints of his arms and left leg, his stomach and the left side of his neck and in his mouth. As strange as it appears, he is quite skilled with this, spinning around like a buzz saw and overwhelming his opponent with all of the varying swings.

He is also capable of seamlessly releasing some of the swords to fight in a more conventional style, giving him great versatility. When he does find an opening, he can impale his opponent with most of his swords at once. Neither Suigetsu nor Sasuke could read his sword work, despite the former being a highly trained swordsman and the latter having mastery over the Sharingan.

Like other Jinchūriki, Kirābī has the ability to create a chakra cloak by drawing on part of his demon's power. He can then form this chakra into the form of two horns, and use them to attack the enemy; a technique called Lightning Plough Hot Sword. This attack has incredible speed and power, but the linearity of his movements makes him easier to predict. Because he has a strong relationship with his own tailed beast, it acts as his partner in battle, disturbing his chakra to dispel even genjutsu from Mangekyo Sharingan. Like his fellow Cloud shinobi, Yugito Nii, he is able to become his Tailed Beast itself with great ease. With the form he can easily and repeatedly fire massive chakra blasts many times the size of its already giant body, but Kirābī was forbidden from transforming by the Raikage.

Unnamed
Type: Unknown rank, Short Range (0-5m)
User: Kirābī
Debut (Manga): Chapter 412
Similar to Sasuke Uchiha's Kusanagi Sword: Chidori Katana, Kirābī channels electrical chakra into his swords to increase their cutting power. By doing so, his swords are sharp enough to cut through the Decapitating Carving Knife.

Lightning Plough Hot Sword (雷犂熱刀, Rariatto)
Type: Tailed Beast skill
User: Kirābī (Three-Tailed form)
Debut (Manga): Chapter 413
After having gone into his Three-Tailed form, Kirābī will form the chakra around his left arm into two bull-like horns. He then charges at his opponent, striking them with a Lariat move. This strike is powerful enough to blow away the target's entire chest. The attack is straightforward, though, and can be easily seen through with the Sharingan. This technique is also called the Eighth (八本目, Happonme), being Kirābī's eighth "sword," next to his seven conventional katana.

Lightning Palm (Raisho)
Type: C-rank
User: Kirābī
As he gathers chakra in palm, lightning engulfs it. Kirābī rushes at the target, pressing his palm against them as the lightning element explodes against them.

Name: Thunder Saber (Sandā Saberu)
Type: Unknown, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
User: Kirābī
Using his Lightning Affinity, Kirābī channels chakra through his finger tips, creating a large blade from his finger tips.



The bijuu
Eight-Tailed Ox Menacing Ball
Type: Tailed Beast skill
User: Kirābī (Post Transformation)
Debut (Manga): Chapter 414
Similar to Naruto Uzumaki's Four-Tailed and Six-Tailed Fox Menacing Ball techniques, after Kirābī fully transforms into the Eight-Tailed Beast, he gathers vast amounts of chakra at his mouth in the form of a black sphere with electricity, and launches it at his targets as a giant wave. The resulting explosion was enough to devastate the entire Valley of Clouds and Lightning.
