Background
 Shin Kasumi is the youngest son of Mayumi and Kenzo Kasumi, ex-ninas of Kirigakure. Mayumi and Kenzo lived in the Kirigakure while it was known as the "of the Bloody Mist Village of the Bloody Mist" and both faced the death matches to improve their ninja ranks. Mayumi’s challenges were so good   that she became a candidate to became one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. During a mission Mayumi obtained a secret information that put her in danger. Kenzo Kasumi was instructed to kill her but during their battle he remained fascinated by that girl and decided to leave her alive.

 After knocking her out he took her to Konoha exchanging useful informations with the Hokage for their safety. When Mayumi recovered at the village she tried to kill Kenzo because she thought he had destroyed her dream to became a Swordsmen of the Mist as Ameyuri Ringo.

 Unfortunately for her she could not return to the Kirigakure or even leave Konoha since there was a big reward for her head. Kenzo had the same problem and two of them had to stay together in the village.

 Mayumi hated Kenzo but he didn’t mind it and followed her everywhere. For three years they continued in this way, with Kenzo running behind Mayumi with gifts and love letters while she did never speak to him. One day Kenzo with a serious face (that was unusual for him) went to Mayumi asking her to marry him. As usual Mayumi did not answer and turned away. Kenzo surrounded to that idea and decided to leave the village, that meant a death sentence. While he was a few steps out of the village a bouquet of flowers was launched at him. As he turn back he saw Mayumi wearing a long white dress and smiling at him with superiority. That day they got married and lived happily for many years.

 Besides Shin they had two other children Minoru and Kenta, both Shin’s elder brothers.

 Shin being the youngest had to stand the jokes of his elder brothers and for this reason he grew up firm, combative and revengeful.

 At the age of twelve he graduated from the academy and was put in Team Seventeen with Ami Kaniri and Namiko Shizuka guided by Ryukaku-sensei. Ami was a delicate girl that became a ninja just because of the insistence of her grandparents. She felt in love with Shin and when she confessed to him he discovered that he didn’t have any interest in females.

 One day Team Seventeen was paired with Guy Team Guy for a mission. In that occasion Shin for the first time met Hyuga Neji Hyuga and felt in love with him.

 In that same mission Ami was wounded quite seriously and she left the team leaving a vacant place.

 Few months later Mirai Reini joined the team as the replacement of Ami.

<p class="MsoNormal"> Between Shin and Mirai was born a competitive spirit since both of them wanted to be the best in everything. They usually screamed at each other but when a moment was critic they did a good team work specially when they protected Namiko that is the team’s medical-nin.

<p class="MsoNormal"> Team Seventeen was usually in any sort of trouble because of Namiko’s desire to help people, Mirai’s bad habit to think loud and Shin’s revengeful spirit. But there was always Ryukaku-sensei that with a big smile would rescue them from every difficult situation even if then for them it meant never-ending trainings and   psychological tortures. (Ryukaku was once member of the Konoha Torture and Interrogation Force)

Personality

Part I
<p class="MsoNormal"> Shin’s first appearance is during the exam Chunin exam along with the whole Team Seventeen. During the written exam he uses Mirai’s same technique and steals the paper from the girl sitting near him while he is distracting her smiling in a seductive way.

Shin and Mirai look for him and find him knocked out by the sound ninjas near Lee Rock Lee. Shin is furious and wants to face them but Mirai stops him while Sasuke recovers and uses the Cursed Seal to knock them all out.

<p class="MsoNormal"> After seeing Mirai win with her opponent   at the selection he is willing to do anything to also pass and don’t be worse than her but he discovers that his opponent is Namiko. In the respect of his best friend, even if it is difficult for him, he renounces to fight. But Namiko is of the same idea and they both are not qualified for the Third Stage.

<p class="MsoNormal"> Team Seventeen goes to another mission and at the end of with while the whole team is enjoying some free time at a festival Namiko reveals that he is really touched by Shin’s sacrifice and that his loyalty is the reason why he is in love with him.

From that day they start to date each other secretly even if Mirai discovers them in no time becoming a fangirl and loving them as a couple.

<p class="MsoNormal"> With this new relationship in Team Seventeen things between Shin and Mirai change. They stop arguing all the time and start focusing on teamwork.

<p class="MsoNormal"> Few months after Naruto’s departure for his training Team Seventeen joins another Chunin Exam and this time all three of them manage to became Chunins.

<p class="MsoNormal"> Team Seventeen is again apart.

Ryukaku also leaves the group to train new ninjas just graduated from the academy.

<p class="MsoNormal"> Shin being a Jonin becomes Team’s Seventeen leader and two other ninjas are added to the group.

Their mission was to abduct Mizumi Reini, but after fighting with Mizumi one of the ninjas set on fire her house where her son was trapped and the woman died in the collapse of the house with her son. Danzo heard about Mizumi and her powers from Orochimaru that met the girl few years before and became fascinated by her Clan’s powers. Danzo wanted to use her Dark Soul Release to secret missions for the ANBU root.

<p class="MsoNormal"> Shin is so convinced that Mirai wants revenge upon Konoha but few months later she cames backs to Konoha destroyed by Itachi’s death. At that point she explains to her teammates that her betray was just an ANBU mission that she decided with the Hokage and under Danzo’s advice. Shin understands that Mirai doesn’t know nothing about who was responsible of her mother’s death and so he decides to not tell her anything.

<p class="MsoNormal"> During the Fourth Shinobi World War Team Seventeen is divided. Mirai fights with Itachi and Sasuke against Kabuto, Namiko is assigned to Medical Team Shizune’s Medical Team while Shin joins the Division Third Division.
