Himushi  

, ヒムシ

Himushi, also known as Nokizaru's leader, was a mercenary ninja hired by Sugi Village to hunt down the Fourth Raikage and his men after they stole a scroll detailing their employer's secret techniques. While pursuing them, Nokizaru released a bright light that dispersed microscopic Exploding Insects, which Kumogakure shinobi inhaled and killed Nigai with this method. A escaped with an ill subordinate. Himushi discovered A and Tsunade's whereabouts and devised a plan to retrieve the scroll by using more exploding insects and offering a cure in exchange. However, the outcome of his plan is uncertain as he and his team fled when backup from Kumo arrived.
