History Characters / NarutoTaka

!!Karin Uzumaki

* EvenEvilHasStandards: He's an unrepentant mass-murderer, but does occasionally chastise Sasuke. Unfortunately, this seems to be more about Sasuke mistreating animals like Manda than his plans for violent revenge.

* TheSociopath: Certainly displays those sorts of tendencies.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: There's no mention of what happened to any of them after the War.

-->''"The weapon of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen has been handed down, generation to generation, it's the tradition. And... all these years I've trained, I've only done it out of reverence for the Seven Ninja. So long as I have this sword, not even you can touch me... maybe."''

->Voiced by: Creator/TakashiKondo (JP), Creator/GrantGeorge (EN)

A former ninja from the prominent Hozuki family of Water Country. He wanted to join his brother Mangetsu as a member of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, but this was cut short when Mangetsu died and Suigetsu himself was captured by Orochimaru to be used for experiments. [[strike: Something of]] A BloodKnight, as he was apparently some sort of prodigy for cutting off his opponent's limbs before beheading them, though apparently gets along with animals. Can transform into liquid to avoid damage. [[spoiler:Takes Zabuza's sword, and wants to take Kisame's. His goal is evidently to take the swords of all the Swordsmen of the Mist in order to rebuild the group. He gets captured by the samurai at the Kage Summit, but he manages to break out of jail with Jugo]].

* DressingAsTheEnemy: [[spoiler:Tries this to escape from the samurai. It fails]].

** OurMermaidsAreDifferent: Has turned his lower half into a fish tail.

** GiantWallOfWateryDoom: He can turn into one which is powerful enough a technique to get physical with a ''tailed beast''!

* OhCrap: [[spoiler: When Sasuke revives Orochimaru.]]
** [[spoiler:An even bigger one occurs when Hashirama releases ridiculous amount of chakra to supress his brother. Suigetsu starts to ''melt'' due to sheer fear.]]
* OnlySaneMan: Surprisingly, he is this in Team Hebi[=/=]Taka, although only when it comes to some of the more dangerous things Sasuke suggests. Nicely contrasts Jugo, who always goes along with Sasuke's plans and Karin, who gushes over his coolness after protesting a bit. Case in point: reviving Orochimaru? Terrible idea. Joining the War along with four superpowered zombies? Even worse idea.
** In something of a subversion, every plan he objected to because it violated all common sense, ended up saving the world.

* PurpleEyes
* PutOnABus: Along with Juugo after the fight with the Raikage. Returns briefly in Chapter 567 alongside him as they make their escape- none the wiser to the magnificent nightmare that occurred with their other two teammates. It'll be a nasty surprise...

[[folder:Karin [[spoiler:Uzumaki]]]]

->Voiced by: Kanako Tojo (JP), Creator/AliHillis (EN)

Only female in Hebi. She has long since been a subordinate to Orochimaru and has been both an experimenter and an experimentee in his MadScientist ventures. She has a very powerful chakra-sensing ability. She is in love with Sasuke, but rude to everyone else. [[spoiler:She was rescued by Sasuke long ago in the Chunin Exams, which sparked the love interest.]] She is not shown to be much of a combatant until [[spoiler:Sasuke's near-death during the Fourth Shinobi War]], but she can heal others by having them bite her. [[spoiler:She is a former genin from the Hidden Village of Grass and one of the scattered remnants of the Uzumaki Clan.]] After Sasuke betrays her during his fight with Danzo, she is taken by Team 7 to Konoha. She was questioned by the Interrogation Squad, bawling her eyes out over the recent events in order to manipulate her interrogators, but Ibiki prevented his less-than-hardy subordinates from playing the sympathy card for her. Karin cooperated fairly well nevertheless (after several demands of her own), but because of her criminal association, she was placed in a holding cell so the Leaf could keep an eye on her. Karin then feigned a fit towards Sasuke that ping-ponged between rage towards the betrayal and fawning over him. It was all a ruse to throw off her guards from noticing her real intentions- use a hidden razor file in the stem of her glasses to reach the lock-picking set in the picture of Sasuke she carried with her, presumably for situations such as this.

* ActionGirl: [[spoiler: Took her a long time to show it, but as of Chapter 663, she demonstrated that she ''does'' have some fighting abilities, similar to that of Kushina Uzumaki.]]

* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:Saved the Gokage from the point of death, and is preparing to do the same for the whole Shinobi alliance.]]
** [[spoiler: Aids the alliance in an epic fashion by stopping the statue which was [[CurbstompBattle curbstomping]] them with the EleventhHourSuperPower she just awoke for the sake of saving Sasuke.]]

* ChainPain: [[spoiler:She can summon the same chakra chains as her distant relative Kushina]].

* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler: Played with. Though she claims not to forgive Sasuke, she clearly takes his apology to heart, which is partially explained by the sincere language the line is originally in, and partially by the fact that she would be able to sense if he were lying or being half-hearted, considering her own abilities. She doesn't seem to have forgiven him completely, but her feelings are clearly still very strong.]]

* EvilRedhead: [[TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil This depends on if you count Hebi as "evil" or not; she is certainly not on the protagonists' side, but she is rarely worse than an Anti-Hero]].
* FieryRedhead

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Her red hair, like [[spoiler:Kushina]]'s and [[spoiler:Nagato]]'s, is what helps mark her as a member of the [[spoiler:Uzumaki]] clan.

* HairColorSpoiler: [[spoiler:The red color is a trademark of the Uzumaki clan.]]

* LooksLikeSheIsEnjoyingIt: Her special healing ability requires for the person who she wants to heal to bite her. Her facial expression while being bit is pretty...interesting to say the least, though only when Sasuke is the one doing the biting. [[spoiler: Whilst healing Tsunade, her expression is uncomfortable and worried, rather than blushing the way it is when Sasuke bites her.]] Of course, the anime cranks this UpToEleven.
* MadLove: [[spoiler:Sasuke apologizes and she's back to risking her life for him. However, given her sensor abilities, she would have known if he was lying or being insincere. Clearly, he wasn't.]]
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: [[spoiler: Got ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice and had your insides skewered in a way that killed a popular secondary character a few dozen chapters before? Big deal! Just heal yourself and keep going for the man you love.]]

* {{Meganekko}}: [[{{Tsundere}} Subverted]]. [[spoiler:Played straight when she was younger, from what we got to see]].

* NerdGlasses: [[spoiler: May or may not hide a tiny saw.]]
* NeutralFemale: She's not much help in physical combat [[spoiler:at first]], but she possesses other very useful skills.
* NighInvulnerable: [[spoiler:Courtesy of her healing factor, which may well be superior to Naruto's.]]

* PutOnABus: [[spoiler: After she is taken into the Leaf's custody.]]

* RescueRomance: [[spoiler:Sasuke saved her from a giant bear during the second part of the Chuunin examination]].
* TheReveal: [[spoiler: Karin is of Uzumaki descent]].[[spoiler: She is also Sarada's true mother, not Sakura.]]
* SatelliteCharacter: Remove her relation to Sasuke and there isn't much left, despite having potential for an interesting backstory. [[spoiler: Her status as an Uzumaki and history with Orochimaru add a little more.]]

* SpiderSense

* TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler: When Sasuke visits Konoha again.]]
* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler: Awakens the ability to use chakra chains and beats a wooden statue that was single-handedly crushing the whole alliance and [[NoSell tanks]] an attack which killed people, including Neji, by skewering their insides by just biting herself as if it was no big deal.]]

* WeakButSkilled: She goes ActionGirl on a few occasions, but is mostly a healer. [[spoiler: After she starts using the same powers as Kushina Uzumaki, this trope is nullified.]]

-->''I won't let you die; you're a memento of Kimimaro.''

->Voiced by: Shuhei Sakaguchi (JP), TravisWillingham (EN)

Big guy whose personality flip-flops between a psychopath and a really nice guy. He once roamed the countryside destroying villages when he was consumed by his berserk rage and willingly subjected himself to Orochimaru's human experimentation labs to look for a cure for his condition. He [[SpeaksFluentAnimal can talk to animals]] as well as [[ShapeshifterWeapon transform his body]]. Orochimaru made his Cursed Seals by replicating an enzyme that Jugo's body produced.[[spoiler: He gets captured by the samurai during the Kage Summit, but manages to break out of jail with Suigetsu]]. [[spoiler:The enzyme in Jugo's body causes his split personality by slowly accumulating natural energy constantly over time until it has to be released, at which point Jugo snaps into a violent frenzy.]]

* [[spoiler:AppendageAssimilation]]: In contrast to the below, he can also ''take'' flesh from others to heal himself, though so far he's kept it limited to [[HumanResources people who were already dead]].

* DressingAsTheEnemy: [[spoiler:Tries this to escape from the samurai. It fails]].

* InHarmonyWithNature: [[spoiler:Jugo's family is naturally in tune with natural chakra which they are constantly absorbing which unfortunately causes them to periodically transform into monstrous subhuman creatures with a personality to match.]]
* JekyllAndHyde

* MrFanservice
* NatureIsNotNice: [[spoiler:At least when natural builds up the result isn't...]]

* SuperEmpowering: [[spoiler:Infuses Sasuke's Susanoo with his senjutsu, enabling it to enter Cursed Seal Mode.]]

* TheWorfEffect: He can be considered his team's designated {{jobber}}, as he was quickly dispatched by Killer Bee ''offscreen'', and [[spoiler:both his upgraded form and BeamSpam]] were useless against [[spoiler:the Raikage]] (granted, it appears that [[KansasCityShuffle he wasn't expecting that to work, just for it to be a proper distraction]]).

* TheReveal: [[spoiler: Karin is of Uzumaki descent]].

* RemovedFromthePicture: In a variation of this trope, [[spoiler:Sakura had a photo of Team Taka (minus Juugo) and made a picture frame so it would look like it was a photo of only her and Sasuke. She didn't cut the photo or risked their faces, but Suigetsu and Karin were both covered up.]]

* CuteLittleFangs
** MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily

* AllEncompassingMantle: His default attire is one of these with [[WalkingShirtlessScene no shirt underneath]]

* ToBeAMaster: Wants to be one of the Seven Swordsmen Of The Mist. In order to achieve that goal, he wants to collect all their swords, and allies with Sasuke to go after Itachi's partner Kisame, who has one of those swords.

* SuperEmpowering: I[[spoiler:nfuses Sasuke's Susanoo with his senjutsu, enabling it to enter Cursed Seal Mode.]]

* SempaiKohai: Refers to Kisame and Zabuza as "sempai" but whether it's sarcastic or not is up for debate.
* ToBeAMaster: Wants to be one of the Seven Swordsmen Of The Mist. In order to achieve that goal, he wants to collect all their swords, and allies with Sasuke to go after Itachi's partner Kisame, who has one of those swords.

* [[spoiler: SuperEmpowering: Infuses Sasuke's Susanoo with his senjutsu, enabling it to enter Cursed Seal Mode.]]

** [[spoiler:Or maybe not -- the first chapter implies that Sarada is ''her'' daughter instead of Sakura's. Either way, the resemblance is uncanny]].

* RemovedFromthePicture: In a variation of this trope,[[spoiler: Sakura catch a photo of Team Taka(minus Juugo) and made a picture frame so it would look like it was a photo of only her and Sasuke. She didn't cut the photo or risked their faces, but Suigetsu and Karin were occulted.]]

[[folder:Karin [[spoiler: Uzumaki]]]]

* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler: Accidentally found something in one of Orochimaru's hidden labs that could help Sasuke control Naruto and/or the Nine-Tails.]]

* SleepModeSize: He can give some of his flesh to heal someone who's compatible, but turns into a kid as a result.

* DidNotGetTheGirl: Or rather, guy. In the epilogue, [[spoiler:Sasuke marries Sakura and there's no mention of what happened to Karin at all. And ironically, Sasuke and Sakura's child looks somewhat like a black-haired version of her.]]
