Tsume Inuzuka

is the mother of Hana and Kiba Inuzuka. "Tsume" means "claw" or "talon." Like most Inuzuka clan members, Tsume is tough, but cares for her family.

Konoha Invasion arc
She made her first official appearance towards the end of the Sand/Sound Invasion of Konoha, where she and Kuromaru was seen driving several Sand Shinobi away.

Sasuke retrieval arc
During Kiba's flashback in the Sasuke retrieval arc, she can be seen scolding (and punching) her son for just playing with Akamaru, while he should be doing battle training with him.

Pain's Invasion Arc
Tsume, along with Kuromaru, Kiba, and Akamaru attack Preta Path Pain with Gatsuga but he dodges by using the former Animal Path Pain as a shield. After Preta Path leaves, Tsume comments that he left because he was so scared of her that he ran away, to which Kiba silently responds, "Yeah Mom, just like with Dad."

Abilities
Tsume has the same abilities as the rest of the Inuzuka Clan. She fights with her beloved companion, Kuromaru. It is currently unknown as to exactly what power she possesses, but since she is a Tokubetsu Jonin, she can also use the Dual Piercing Fang as well many more combinations with Kuromaru.

Trivia

 * According to Kiba, Tsume scared her husband or lover away.
 * Given Hana's age, Tsume was 19 when she gave birth to her, indicating Tsume was a teen mom.
 * It can be presumed that Tsume is part of the Inuzuka clan by blood instead of marriage because of her canine looks, the fact she has her own dog, and her lover or husband ran away leaving Kiba with her maiden name.
