Natsumi Uchiha

Natsumi Uchiha (うちはナツミ, Uchiha Natsumi) is one of the main supporting characters of Naruto: The Shadow Chronicles. She is a a jōnin level kunoichi from Kagegakure and one of the last known surviving members of the Uchiha clan.

Background
One week before the events of the Uchiha Clan Massacre, Natsumi's parents, Sakuyo and Ayana, were sent on a mission to spy on an unnamed village near Kagegakure. Natsumi's parents decided to bring her on the mission as it would have made them look less suspicious if they were carrying a child. During the course of the mission, the Uchiha clan was slaughtered by Itachi Uchiha. When the family was returning to Konoha, an ANBU stopped them, saying that the Uchiha had been massacred and that the Third Hokage had made arrangements for them to live in Kagegakure.

During her earlier years in Kage's Ninja Academy, Natsumi was frequently teased by other kids due to her shy, timid personality. She soon met Haruka Sakumi, and the two became best friends.

One afternoon, she met Kenji Kayuga, who helped her improve her Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.

Personality
When Natsumi first entered Kagegakure's Ninja Academy, she was shy, timid, and emotionally withdrawn, due to the loss of her clan. This made her a target for frequent bullying by the other students. After meeting Haruka, she becomes more outgoing, friendly and cheerful.

Appearance
Natsumi has black hair, onyx eyes and fair skin. In Part I, Natsumi wore a small black shirt over a fishnet shirt, and white pants. She also wore a black sash with the Uchiha crest on it. She wears a blue forehead protector in the normal fashion.

In Part II, Natsumi, now a Jōnin, has blossomed into a beautiful young woman. Her hair has grown longer and is tied in a ponytail fashion. Long bangs frame the side of her face. She dons a new attire consisting of a red shirt with a black top portion, and black pants. The cloth portion of her forehead protector is now red in color. When not on a mission, Natsumi wears a black sleeveless shirt, along with tight white shorts.

Taijutsu
Although not her favored area of combat, Natsumi has shown herself to be skilled in taijutsu, first showcased when, in her match with Haruka Sakumi, she was able to hold her own against the latter, despite Haruka's immense strength and taijutsu prowess.
