Facts Only True Naruto Fans Know About Anko Mitarashi

Thanks to some additional, anime-original stories from the TV series, Anko's onscreen move set is bigger than it is in the manga. Anko is able to perform moves like Hidden Shadow Snake Hands, as well as its stronger variant, the Many Hidden Shadow Snake Hands. She can also make a perfect Konoha symbol out of dango sticks. It's stated in the anime — "Naruto: Shippuden" Episode 261, to be exact — that she has built up an immunity to poisons thanks to Orochimaru.

Anko is capable of manipulating fire to perform the Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique, as seen in Episode 169 of the original "Naruto" anime series. She's also capable of performing moves from the Nature Transformation of Yin Release, like the Sly Mind Affect Technique, demonstrated in Episode 36 of "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations." This move tricks the victim into thinking they're walking in a straight direction when they're actually running around in circles, wasting the target's time and energy.
