Mahiru (マヒル, Mahiru) was a jōnin from Iwagakure in the Naruto universe. He participated in the Third Shinobi World War and was partnered with Kakkō and Taiseki. Mahiru encountered Team Minato while on a reconnaissance mission. He employed about twenty shadow clones, which were destroyed by Kakashi's Chidori. Mahiru managed to counter the Chidori and nearly killed Kakashi, only to be stopped by Minato Namikaze, who swiftly rescued Kakashi and held a kunai to Mahiru’s neck. Mahiru was then killed by Minato, but not before expressing regret for not fleeing when he had the chance. Described as a prudent individual who valued his life and was filled with hatred, Mahiru viewed Kakashi as a "brat" but feared Minato. He sported a distinctive hairstyle with two spiked ponytails, one on top of his head and another at the back. He wore the standard Iwagakure uniform, including a flak jacket, a shirt with no right sleeve, and dark cloth from his waist to his right knee. He also wore a blue Iwagakure forehead protector. Mahiru was skilled in kenjutsu, demonstrating exceptional speed and ability that allowed him to overwhelm the young Kakashi. He also possessed high-level ninjutsu such as the Shadow Clone Technique, capable of creating twenty clones, and he was proficient in Earth Release techniques, which he used for ambushes.
