Naoko Uchiha (直子サスケ, Uchiha Naoko) is a Missing-nin from Konohagakure. She was a member of the Akatsuki until Obito took over, seeing that the organization had become even more twisted than it already was. Not too long after she left, she was founded by Orochimaru, who began to teach her and ready her for a plan that he had long been conducting with Shidan.

Background
Naoko was born and raised by her loving mother and cold-hearted father in Konoha. Her father had dreams of becoming the hokage, but his dreams were crushed when Naoko came into the picture. Her mother and father constantly argued about what life she was going to have because her father had considered leaving the two on their own. He explained that if he became hokage, they would live a wealthy and happy life, that Naoko would be care-free. So he left, but he had disappeared and never was heard of again. Naoko grew up to be a bright and bubbly young girl, who received good exam scores during the academy, and it wasn't too long before she became a genin and soon, a chunin. Her mother was proud of her and she enjoyed watching her daughter grow into a talented young woman. Once the Uchiha Clan Massacre occurred, She watched as her own mother bled out to death, there was no final words said between the two.

Although she defected, a part of her still wanted to be with the hidden leaf, She didn't know if she had made the right decision and soon fell into a state of depression. She wished the massacre hadn't happened, and that her mother hadn't died, or else she would still be with the village. She noticed that the group had gotten chaotic since Tobi ,or now Obito, had taken over. She was shocked to see that the clueless akatsuki member had become the mastermind.

Personality
As a child, Naoko was very energetic, bubbly, and overall happy. She took fights and training seriously, as she did with every situation that was no laughing matter. She always cared for her teammates and would always give advice if needed. Her sensei immediately recognized her as a smart individual.

After the massacre, Naoko became cold, distant and quiet. Her happy personality faded and she became a different person due to her mother's death. she has a lot of built up anger inside of her and the
