Kushina Uzumaki (うずまきクシナ, Uzumaki Kushina) was the mother of Naruto Uzumaki and the lover of Minato Namikaze.[4] She was a kunoichi from the former Land of Whirlpools.
Background
Kushina as a child.
Hailing what Jiraiya called the former Land of Whirlpools and that she went through some gruesome upheavals during her childhood, making her seek for a daily "peace." It was said that Kushina lived most of her youth being caught-up in war. When she came to Konohagakure and joined the Ninja Academy, where she first met a young Minato Namikaze and initially thought of him as a wimp. Wanting to making a strong first impression, she proclaimed she will be the first female Hokage. The other kids laughed at her statement, and began calling her Tomato, because of her then-round face and fiery red hair. This prompted her to lash out and pummel each of the kids. This, in addition to her red hair flowing wildly around, quickly earned her the nickname The Red Hot-Blooded Habanero. Nonetheless, she grew closer to Minato, the only other child to treat her with kindness.
One day, she was kidnapped by Kumogakure ninja to make use of her special chakra. She cleverly plucked and left behind single strands of her hair in the hope someone would find her. Only Minato proved clever enough to pick on on her clue and was able to rescue her. Afterwards, he complimented Kushina on her hair, calling it beautiful. Taken aback by someone actually complimenting her unusual hair, which Kushina had always hated, Kushina immediately loved Minato and came to love her hair as it was what led Minato to notice her.
  Minato and Kushina. |
She eventually became renowned for her beauty and unique ninjutsu style in later years. She at some point became romantically involved with Minato and they had a son. During her pregnancy, they decided to name him Naruto after the main character of Jiraiya's first book. When Jiraiya asked if they were sure, stating that it was a name he came up with while eating a bowl of ramen, Kushina says that it was a beautiful name. She is assumed to have died sometime after giving birth to Naruto, but not before giving her chakra, together with Minato's, in the process of sealing the Nine-Tails.
Appearance
Tsunade pointed out that Kushina was a beautiful woman of slender but feminine built. She had long, red hair that hung down at her ankles and bangs that were held to the left side of her face with a hair clip, and as an adult usually wore a loss fitting dress with an apron. Her skin was pale and her eyes appeared violet. In her childhood, she had a round face which with her red hair made her look like a tomato.
Personality
According to Jiraiya, Kushina was talkative and a tomboyish girl, and according to Tsunade, much of Naruto's personality, as well as his style of ninjutsu, was inherited from her. Kushina also had a verbal tic, when she was flustered or excited she would end her sentences with "(da)ttebane" (「(だ)ってばね」), a trait she hoped she wouldn't pass down to Naruto, who would end his sentences with "dattebayo". As an adult, Kushina was shown to be very level-headed and cheerful. Despite her calm and kind demeanor, she still has a slight temper and can lash out from it, not unlike Sakura Haruno.
Abilities
Kushina's abilities are mostly unknown. She was however famous for a unique style of ninjutsu. In her childhood, she showed herself to be deceptively strong and a fierce barehanded fighter, able to pummel several kids 'half to death' for teasing her. Kushina also possesses an unusual form of chakra, which is great enough to restrain and startle the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox just from sensing its presence.
Part II
Fourth Shinobi World War arc
During his the fight with the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, Naruto was overcome by the demon's hatred. As he slowly succumbed to the Nine-Tails' taint, Kushina appeared to tell him he belonged "here" while placing her left hand on her chest, parallel to her heart.
When Naruto first met her, he foolishly thought the fox had taken the form of a woman to deceive him, which caused her to angerly clobber him on the head. After calming down and apologizing, she clued Naruto to realize the truth. At first Naruto naively believed Kushina to be the Fox's true form, which caused her to angrily clobber him on the head. After calming down and apologizing, she clued Naruto until he finally realized the truth. Upon this revelation, Naruto quickly embraced his mother with tears of joy in his eyes, to which Kushina happily returned the gesture. This halted Naruto's transformation. Kushina then used her chakra (in the form of chains) to restrain the Nine-Tails, who was greatly startled by her appearance.
Kushina then decided to talk with Naruto, wanting to learn how her son turned out. Naruto quickly asked how Kushina fell in love with Minato, to which she bashfully told the story. After telling of her's and Minato's childhood together, Kushina, upon being complemented on her hair by Naruto, tells her son that she loves him, much to his surprise then happiness. She then asks what is the product of Konoha's "Yellow Flash" and "The Hod-Blooded Habanero", with Naruto answering "Konoha's Orange Hokage".
