Chūkaku (中覚) was a ninja monk from the Fire Temple who served as the mentor of Chiriku. He taught him before his death and was eventually buried at the cemetery in the temple. Kabuto accidentally reincarnated him while searching for Chiriku. During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Kabuto deployed Chūkaku, whom he considered a weaker asset, to unseal his stronger pawns. While attempting to break the seal on the Third Raikage, Chuukaku was attacked by Temari and sealed by the Fourth Division. After the cancellation of the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, Chūkakus soul returned to the afterlife.
