Azumi Inazuma

Aisumi Inazuma (稲妻アイスミ, Inazuma Aisumi) is a jounin-level kunoichi from Konohagakure.

Background
Aisumi was born into the Inazuma clan, a small clan of scientists and medical Ninjutsu experts in Konohagakure. Ever since Aisumi’s father had taken leadership over the clan, a certain procedure was undergone for every newborn. When a child is born into the Inazuma clan, the doctors inject a special virus that attacks every organ inside the body, to see which child would be the greatest hope of achieving the clan’s goals by testing their immune system. Only a genetically superior Inazuma child would survive. Even Aisumi and her twin sister, Ayumi, had to go through this procedure although they were the leader’s own daughters. Both of them miraculously survived, but Ayumi lost her eyesight in the process and Aisumi was diagnosed with severe respiratory and cardiovascular problems. Their mother died giving birth to them.

Despite their handicaps, the both of them were determined to become great ninja after enrolling in the Ninja Academy. Ayumi took advantage of everyone’s pity for her and caused plenty of trouble, while Aisumi remained quiet and studious, determined to outclass the top student, Itachi Uchiha. Although Aisumi did her best in class, surpassing everyone’s expectations of her as a sick and frail girl, none of her efforts could best the young Itachi.

One day, she grew frustrated and ran off into the forest outside of Konoha, where she could practice in peace. However, as she was practicing, a group of Kirigakure ninja kidnapped her, planning to use her as a hostage to obtain Inazuma clan’s advanced medical Ninjutsu information. Aisumi knew she could not let such dire information escape the hands of her own clan, so that night she pulled out a hidden needle dipped in poison and prepared to sacrifice herself. But before she did so, a mysterious figure found her and freed her. Aisumi discovered it was Itachi Uchiha who had saved her. She was surprised, wondering how he had found her and why he would want to save her. She was also rather upset at this, saying she didn’t want to be indebted to an Uchiha, especially him. But he merely smiled at her, telling her that the least she could do was be a little friendlier toward him. Aisumi scoffed at this remark, but soon the two had developed a close friendship.

In her free time, Aisumi studied space-time Ninjutsu intensively, inspired by the fourth Hokage. She also grew fascinated with her clan’s scientific studies and spent much of her time in their laboratories and libraries, especially after Itachi became a Chuunin. No matter how much time they spent together, Aisumi never could shake off her jealousy of Itachi’s strength and intelligence.

She became acquainted with Shisui and Mikoto Uchiha, and even spent some time with Sasuke while Itachi was out on missions. However, she kept her distance from Fugaku and the rest of the Uchiha clan, slightly intimidated by the clan's prestige. Four years after entering the Ninja Academy, Aisumi finally proved her worth and graduated at the age of 9, feeling successful and hoping she would soon catch up to Itachi. Aisumi, Kojuro Inuzuka and Saizo Yamanaka were all place on a team under the leadership of Saya Sawamura. Aisumi went on as many missions with her team as she could, doing her best to appeal to the third Hokage and her close friend Itachi. When she was 11 years old, her team entered the Chuunin exams and passed with flying colors, and soon she was able to go on missions with Itachi, developing intense romantic feelings toward him.

One day, however, in the middle of an important mission, Aisumi suffered a severe heart attack, and one of the squad members suggested taking her to a hospital. Aisumi managed to tell them that a regular hospital wouldn't know what to do about her virus, so she was quickly transported to her father. It was at this time that Toshio Inazuma decided to reconstruct Aisumi's body completely, an operation that would allow Aisumi to access the human body's full potential.

When she awoke, she was shocked by her transformation, unleashing her fury on everyone around her and running off. A few hours alone in the forest, Aisumi slowly grew exhilirated with her newfound strength, relishing in the fact that she was no longer suppressed by the deadly virus. She began to reflect on her old self, disgusted at how weak she was, always trying to chase after Itachi. A few days after recovering from the surgery, she reunited with her team, everyone just as surprised by her new appearance. Aisumi eventually joined the Konoha ANBU alongside Itachi, although she had crushed all her previous affections for him.

Aisumi noticed Itachi was acting strange, keeping more to himself than usual. She confronted him to no avail. The day after the Uchiha clan had been slaughtered, Aisumi found a note in her hands as she woke up, reading "Take care of Sasuke." She wondered what it was about. She soon learned of Itachi's actions and was terribly upset, although she did not let this affect her for long. A year later, Ayumi went missing after having been neglected by her sister, and Aisumi spent weeks searching for her sister while still caring for Sasuke and training.

She eventually gave up searching for her sister, presuming she was dead, and built a small grave in her honor. For the next several years, she spent her time working alongside her father helping him in his biological research after several members of the Inazuma clan split off into a separate branch, losing faith in Toshio due to his growing ambition. Rumors began to flow throughout the clan that he had connections with Orochimaru, but Aisumi refused to believe such foolishness.

However, these rumors turned out to be true when Toshio forced Aisumi into captivity under Orochimaru, who had her kept in a special medical chamber reserved for experiments on her. She was held captive for almost a year, until she was set free by a boy named Satoshi, who would visit her daily to feed her and make sure she didn't commit suicide. When Aisumi escaped, Satoshi was killed by Orochimaru himself for betraying him. Aisumi never forgave herself for letting the boy die.

Nevertheless, Aisumi harbored much hatred for her father at this point, and spent her time wandering around the world until she found the uninhabited Land of Ice, where she was taught to get in touch with her consciousness to recieve internal peace and focus.

Personality
Aisumi was very selfish, reserved and anti-social as a child, preferring to read and study rather than spend time with others. However, this changed when she befriended Itachi, allowing herself to open up a little more to others. For years, Aisumi admired her father, the fourth Hokage, and Itachi, leading her to become an instinctive follower. She later stepped off this path to find herself. Aisumi is still very independent, preferring to do things on her own. She can be reckless, especially when frustrated. She is stubborn in arguements as well as in battle, her pride often getting the better of her. She does not swear often, but she can be harshly sarcastic and rude when upset. Ever since Aisumi's childhood, her father Toshio raised her to be serious and stern, teaching her what he knew. This led her to become a precocious child, with a greater intellect than most students her age and scientific interests.

Aisumi does have a strong motherly instinct, but only toward the people she is close to. She is compassionate and nurturing toward those she is close to, and very selfless. She has a strong urge to protect and support her friends, and she likes to teach those in whom she sees great potential. Kojuro Inuzuka, having a big crush on Aisumi, often takes advantage of her caring nature, often feining injuries just to get her attention. Even with all the hints Kojuro drops, Aisumi is very oblivious to his affections, having closed her heart to such emotions ever since Itachi left. Sasuke and Ayumi are the only ones to have ever witness Aisumi's gentle side.

After her reconstruction, Aisumi gained a superiority complex, often looking down on everyone weaker than her. She is very judgemental and picks at the flaws of others. For the first few weeks after the surgery she was prone to experiencing moments of euphoria due to her intensified senses and slightly higher levels of adrenaline. This only happens to a lesser degree now. She is a strong leader, giving commands confidently to her squad and utilizing her intelligence to guide her squad through the mission. She does sometimes get carried away and push her teammates too hard, resulting in their extreme exhaustion.

Aisumi is very dedicated to her studies of the natural sciences as well as jutsu and the ninja arts. She spends a great deal of her free time researching in the clan labs. Although she is a jounin-rank ninja, Aisumi does not like to fight at all, claiming it is mindless and barbaric. This may be one reason why Aisumi was attracted to Itachi's gentle nature.

Appearance
Prior to the surgical reconstruction, Aisumi had raven-black hair with bangs that came down to her eyebrows. The hair framing her face came down to the middle of her chest, and the hair behind her ears came halfway down her neck. She wore a red ribbon in her hair given to her by her twin sister. She was short as well as very thin and pale due to the effects of the virus. She had full lips and crimson red irises with large pupils. She wore a slim black sleeveless half-top over a long-sleeved fishnet shirt. Over that she wore a thick red hooded jacket with the Inazuma symbol on the right shoulder. She wears blue-green slim shorts and a light lavender belt with three long cloths along her front and hips. Her Leaf headband is tied around her left thigh, and she wears black open-toed sandals with high heels.

After her reconstruction, Aisumi is much taller, and her body much healthier. Her skin is fair and her hair is a blood red color and very long in length. She no longer has bangs and instead has a long fringe of hair covering her forehead and sloping down the bridge of her nose. Her eyes are slightly narrowed in a sharper gaze with thicker eyelashes. She is often seen wearing the standard Konoha ANBU uniform until she is given away to Orochimaru. When she finally returned to Konohagakure at the age of 17 in Part I, she had matured, with a rather curvaceous body and slightly longer hair. She wore a loose, black long-sleeved shirt that comes down to her belly. She wears a beige vest with three buckles across the front and one strap over her left shoulder. Her belt now only has two cloths over her hips, and she wears the same blue-green shorts, but rather than her old sandals, she wears open-toed boots that come up to her knees.

In Part II Aisumi has cut her hair very short, only framing her cheeks and coming halfway down the back of her neck. She carries a long sword on her back. (Still working on her new outfit)

Abilities
Aisumi specializes in space-time ninjutsu, a result of her studies of the fourth Hokage's techniques. She is also able to wield black chakra. Aisumi has both Lightning- and Water-chakra nature and is very observant of her enemies. She is very knowledgeable of several jutsus, and likes to take advantage of the enemy's weakness. However, Aisumi sometimes underestimates the enemy's abilities or overestimates her own due to her superiority complex. When under someone else's command, Aisumi can be rash and reckless. But as a leader, Aisumi is adept at finding her teammates' strengths and bringing those strengths out to succeed in the mission.

As an Inazuma, she has great abilities medical ninjutsu and a high chakra reserve to support it. After her reconstruction, all of her senses have been enhanced and her reflexes sharpened. Her muscles and bones were made lighter and stronger to give her greater speed and power. The fact that her nerves have been enhanced, however, also means that she feels pain to a greater extent, so it is hard for her to deal with injuries. Thus, she focuses on evading enemy attacks and creating an opening so she can strike.

Black Chakra
Black chakra intensifies all of Aisumi’s space-time Ninjutsu, and it can be wielded like a weapon as well. However, black chakra is very unstable and difficult to control, and it slowly eats away all life forms it touches, including the wielder. Aisumi has never used it in battle because she fears she may not be able to control it. Black chakra was created by Aisumi's father, who intended all life to be destroyed, then reborn.

Medical Ninjutsu
Aisumi has trained in medical ninjutsu ever since she was a small child, following the usual traditions of her clan. She has knowledge of numerous poisons and the antidotes to counteract them, although using poisons is not her style. Instead, she takes advantage of the human body, using her chakra to attack the enemy's inner organs or sabotage their nervous system. She is also able to use the Body Pathway Derangement technique to create an opening, allowing her time to strike again. This is her favorite technique, knowing that normal humans can be betrayed by their own bodies and that only truly skilled medical-nin could take her down the same way. Even so, Aisumi's medical ninjutsu is not nearly as great as the renowned Tsunade, although she does not like to admit it. She still spends much time attempting to learn Tsunade's Creation Rebirth technique, but lacks the ability to store her chakra in a single point in her body. In Part II, Aisumi finally swallows her pride and asks Tsunade to help her perfect her medical ninjutsu.

Taijutsu
Although Aisumi would rather not fight, she is quite formidable in her taijutsu. Her speed is her greatest asset, able to overwhelm her opponents and deal considerable damage. She reads the opponent's pattern of attack to ensure she can evade every strike, never taking her eyes off the enemy and waiting for an opening or creating one herself. Her usual technique is to rapidly strike multiple times in the span of a few seconds, moving fast enough to the point where the enemy cannot follow her movements at all. In close combat, she shows great skill in blocking and deflecting attacks. Her ability to avoid most attacks is quite important, as she is a field medical-nin and must stay alive in order to heal her teammates.

Aisumi also has great stamina and is able to keep fighting for long periods of time. Because of her sharpened senses, however, Aisumi feels pain to a much greater extent than other humans. Whenever she does take a hit, her nerves are overwhelmed, allowing the opponent a brief window to strike. This is usually when she must depend on her teammates. To make up for this, she takes advantage of the enemy, pretending to still be injured, then attacking when the enemy approaches.

Intelligence
Aisumi displays a very intellectual mind, especially in the midst of battle. She often allows the enemy to attack first in order to analyze the way he attacks and figure out the workings behind the enemy's jutsu. Her sharp senses allow her to read the enemy's intentions and sort out his weaknesses from his strengths, and she works her strategy around them. She is a great team leader, able to also discover her team's strengths and weaknesses and utilizing their strengths while figuring out ways to cover their weaknesses. Her extensive research in jutsu also contributes to her intelligence. In Part II Aisumi realizes that lightning style jutsu can have different charges depending on the user's chakra, taking note that hers is a positive charge and exploiting this when fighting other lightning users.

Aisumi also takes advantage of her surroundings. The terrain is very important to her; the more secluded it is, the easier it will be to strike from the shadows. Her senses allow her to track the enemy if he is in hiding, so she orders the team according to the situation.

Her knowledge of medical ninjutsu is also very helpful. She can quickly determine a person's injuries and the best way to heal them. She is able to perform minor surgeries on her own with minimal risk to the patient. In Part II she learns to take control of her own psyche and separate illusions from reality through sheer focus and willpower after intense training in seclusion. This unlocks her ability to break free of Sharingan-induced genjutsu, her greatest weakness.

Ninjutsu
After learning of the fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze's incredible feats, Aisumi began to study his techniques at around the time she entered the Ninja Academy. She was fascinated with space-time ninjutsu and was determined to become an expert at it. Aisumi was also taught personally by her sensei Saya Sawamura, who had been mentored by Minato for a few years and who had the same chakra natures as Aisumi.

Space-Time Ninjutsu
Aisumi was able to learn many space-time techniques, such as space-time barriers and even the Flying Thunder God technique. She is also able to send weapons flying into other dimensions in order to have them strike the enemy at an unpredictable time. In Part II Aisumi is able to lock certain dimensions by sending a weapon with the Flying Thunder God seal into the dimension and performing hand seals. Aisumi has numbered every dimension she has passed through, counting up to 17 so far, although she believes there is an infinite number of dimensions. She has also designed a few space-time techniques herself, such as Ninja Art: Fourth Dimension Slip, which allows her and others whom she has marked with the seal to teleport simultaneously to far-away distances in order to escape whenever the need arises. The more people she teleports, the more chakra is used.
