About Hotaru
Hotaru is a member of the Tsuchigumo clan, a figure who stands outside the Hidden Village system. Across the series Hotaru is also known as Tsuchigumo Heiress and Utakata's Student.
Her combat style draws on Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Fūinjutsu. Her chakra natures cover Earth and Water.
Hotaru first appears in the Hidan & Kakuzu arc. She survives to the end of Naruto: Shippūden. Every field on this page is frozen at that point in the story — no Boruto-era changes are applied.
How to guess Hotaru in Narutodle
When Hotaru is the answer, the Village column reads None, clearing every hidden village at once. The Genin rank is unusual on a board made mostly of jōnin and rogue ninja, and the Tsuchigumo clan is itself a narrowing signal. Hotaru debuts mid-series, in the Hidan & Kakuzu arc, so the Debut Arc arrow can fall either way. Every guess you submit is scored column by column: a full match shows green, a partial match on a multi-value column shows yellow, and no overlap shows red.
