?noki, the Third Tsuchikage, was known for his stubborn and prideful personality as well as his mastery over the rare and devastating Dust Release (Kekkei Tōta) nature transformation. Personality ?noki was a complex character who evolved over time.

His granddaughter, Kurotsuchi, frequently called him a "stubborn old man".

Open-minded and Inspirational: His interactions with Gaara and Naruto during the Fourth Shinobi World War helped him regain the "unmovable will" he had in his youth. He became an inspirational leader, capable of great teamwork, who prioritized protecting the new generation and recognized the need for change and cooperation between villages. Flawed Idealist (Boruto Era): In his retirement, after losing his grandson, his desire to protect the youth led him to controversial, unethical methods (creating artificial life to fight for the village), which he ultimately regretted, returning to his belief in the power of human will. Powers and Abilities Despite his frail appearance and constant back pain, ?noki was a legendary and extremely powerful shinobi, acknowledged by Madara Uchiha as the main threat among the Five Kage. Dust Release (Jinton): His signature and most powerful ability, a Kekkei Tōta combining Earth, Wind, and Fire Release.

Dust Release (Kekkei Tōta): Mū could combine Fire, Earth, and Wind nature transformations to form Dust Release, which allowed him to create a three-dimensional object (like a cube or cone) that could disintegrate anything within its confines down to a molecular level.

Flight and Weight Manipulation: Through Earth Release, Mū could lighten his own body, allowing him to fly and move quickly through the air. Sensory Perception: Paradoxically, Mū was also a highly skilled sensor, capable of detecting chakra signatures from several kilometers away and discerning familial chakra similarities.
