Yasuko Kazeshima

Yasuko Kazeshima is a kunoichi from Konohagkaure and a member of Team Asami.

Background
Yasuko is the second child of Kuno Kazeshima and Sora Hiwasaki and a member of the Kazeshima clan. She had a very happy childhood. Nothing depressing have ever happened to her. Until the day her older sister, Yushiko, died at the age of 8 due to a serious disease. Yasuko fell in to despair. Her family comforted her but she was still depressed. Soon, she dreamt of Yushiko, telling her to live her life and be happy. Also telling her that she will be here whenever Yasuko needs. Yasuko became happy because she knows that Yushiko is not gone yet. She is still looking after them. Yasuko became more happy and cheerful, even though she sad on the inside.

During her academy years, she wasn't the top student. She had average work, but she's still happy. She didn't have many friends during her days though she's friendly and cheerful. No one really notice her. However, she managed to become friends with Hinata. Since Hinata is very shy, Yasuko always stayed near Hinata and encourages her to be confident.

After she graduated from the academy, she was placed in a team with Reiji Ishikawa and Saburo Minami under the command of Asami Nakashima. Her teammates became the ones who she can always count on. She was always training with them.

Personality
Yasuko was and is a very fun, happy and cheerful, sometime shy person. Everytime she's around, she always makes everyone happy. Everytime she fails a mission, she was not mad, depressed or upset. Instead she became happy because her thought is when you make a mistake, you'll learn from it and do better next time. She doesn't like to fight. Everytime someone challenges her to a fight, she would either decline it or talk them out. She'll only fight in training or real combat. After the chunin exam, she developed her feelings for Neji . She hated Neji when he fought Hinata but later on, she noticed Neji became soft, Yasuko developed her feelings for him because she thinks he's mature, cool, handsome and strong, plus he changed his cold personality. She never let Neji know about until the new chunin exam. She was always smiling and blushing around Neji. However, there are sometimes when Yasuko shows her angry and evil side.

Her taijutsu style is very similar to Lee's and Guy's taijutsu, But she cannot open the gates.

Reiji Ishikawa
Reiji is Yasuko's teammate. They are really close together, like best friends. He's agressive to others but he is very sweet to Yasuko. He had a secret crush on Yasuko, but since he knows that Yasuko have a crush on Neji, he didn't told her about it. He always teases Yasuko about Neji, which made Yasuko all red. He thought he had no chance with her so instead, he encourage Yasuko to confess to Neji, although Yasuko couldn't. Reiji looks similar to Kiba, which is what Yasuko teases him about. These two always tease each other like best friends. They are always willing to give a helping hand to each other.

Saburo Minami
Saburo is also Yasuko's teammate. Yasuko is not really close to him. He acts like he never care about his comrades, but when it comes to serious situation, he is the most helpful of all. he acts like comrades are nothing to him but he deeply cares for his them inside. Yasuko became closer to him as the series progress.

Asami Nakashima
Asami is Yasuko's sensei. She was always easy going, kind and always smiling. Asami helped Yasuko train after she lost in the Chunin Exam's preliminaries. Asami is like a mother to Yasuko. When Asami went missing during Pain Invasion, Yasuko risked her life to search for Asami but fails. Her body was found on on the land where the Fourth Shinobi World War was located, she was found after Neji's death. Yasuko, after crying when Neji died, cried again. Yasuko faced her biggest fear, twice.

Neji Hyūga
Yasuko met Neji during the Chunin Exams. When she saw his fight with Hinata, she was enraged since Hinata is her friend. When she looked at Neji, he gave her a death glare. However, after Naruto changed him, Yasuko started to notice him. After his fight with Kidomaru, Yasuko couldn't help but worry. Afterward, she brings him flowers, when he's still unconscious. In the anime, Yasuko often went on missions with his team, which leads Yasuko to fall for him even more. Yasuko's and Neji's team hang out together often. Yasuko always blush around Neji, which Neji, confused, smiles back a little. Neji helped her train when he's not training with Hinata. Yasuko never had the courage to confess to him. Yasuko got into an argument with Neji once, where Yasuko wants to go find Asami but Neji refused and said "No one cares". Yasuko got mad at him and run off while Neji thought about what he said earlier. He secretly said sorry to her without her hearing it. When Neji died, Yasuko was crushed to the core. She, alongside Lee, Tenten and Guy, mourn Neji's death, while a teary Yasuko quietly "confess" to him. When Sasuke returns, she was still next to Neji's body, not leaving it for a second, which Guy told her "It's okay". When the mini clone of the ten tails tried to attack Yasuko and Neji, Yasuko turns around with fiery eyes, using her controlling power without hestitation, instantly killing the clone and the surrounding clones. She promise that Neji will be forever in her heart.

Yuki Ikeda
Yuki is one of Yasuko's many friends. They met each other at the Chunin Exams. But they didn't really "notice" each other in the first exam. In the Forest of Death, Yuki's team stole Yasuko's scroll. During the preliminaries, Yasuko saw the fight between Yuki and Hiromi Takahashi. When Yuki was rushed to the hospital, Yasuko was scared that she'll end up like that, because she never fought with other people before, only training with her teammates. But when she saw Naruto's fight, she was influenced by him and was not scared anymore. She was concerned about Yuki if she'll be alright. Since both Yasuko and Yuki trained often with Team Guy, they got to know each other. When not training, Yasuko talked with Yuki and discussed about various things, Team Guy as the major subject, since they both took interest in them. They trained together often and became friends. When Neji died, Yasuko held back tears while comforting Yuki. That is when Yasuko realise that Yuki loved Neji. Both Yuki and Yasuko grew cold and bitter, but Yasuko managed to be happy again because of her friends, she tried to help Yuki achieve her dream to become a jōnin and helped her snap out of her depression. They visited Neji's grave together.

Hinata Hyūga
Hinata is Yasuko's best friend. During her academy days, Hinata was always shy and quiet, Yasuko always encourage her to be confident. Yasuko also knew how Hinata loved Naruto, that's why she does everything to bring them together, which didn't work since Hinata always ran away from Naruto whenever she sees him. Yasuko witnessed her fight against Neji, which was the whole reason why she hated Neji and intends to punch him in the face, but can't. She had never been so worried in her life when Hinata was being carried to the medic room. Sooner, as the series progress, Hinata noticed that Yasuko had a thing for Neji. Hinata is the only person except her team that Yasuko told about her feelings for Neji. She asked Hinata not to tell Neji. Since Yasuko and Hinata are often on different missions, they hardly have time together. They often train together with Neji. Even though they don't spend time together much, they open up to each other. Hinata, who is very shy, can open up to Yasuko about her feelings toward Naruto.

Chunin Exam Arc
Yasuko appears during the chunin exam along with Neji, Lee, and Tenten. During the first Exam, she used her Telekinesis power to control Saburo's hand to write on his exam paper " ねえ. あなたは答えを探すためにあなたの力を使用してもらえますか？そして、それを私に送ってください. " ( Hey. Could you use your powers to look for answers ? And please send it to me.) Saburo knew it was Yasuko, and used his power to "feel the answer" and send it to Yasuko's brain and Reiji's brain. They wrote the answers altogether. They all have confidence in the tenth question and didn't raised their hands. They all passed the first exam. During the second exam, they did not fight anybody at all. While they were looking for a heaven scroll, Team Tanaka got their Earth Scroll from Saburo, since Yasuko and Reiji was on the other side. Saburo didn't tried to get it back, he doesn't care for his teammates nor himself. Yasuko and Reiji was dissapointed, and Yasuko use her power to bring a heaven scroll and an earth scroll from two random teams. Reiji brought them to the finishing tower as fast as he can. They successfully pass the second exam. During the preliminary matches, Yasuko was matched against Suzumoto Matsuo, a Sunagakure-nin. Yasuko lost against her, since Yasuko is just a beginner in fighting ( She only learned a few techniques of her clan's ability. ) and she was a senior Suna-nin, being knocked unconscious by her jutsu.
