Karin Uzumaki (うずまき香燐, Uzumaki Karin) is a member of the Uzumaki Clan. She is a former kunoichi of Kusagakure and subordinate of Orochimaru. She assisted Orochimaru in his experiments and was left in charge as warden of his Southern Hideout while he was away. She was later recruited by Sasuke Uchiha into the group Taka, which was initially called “Hebi” (蛇, Snake) at the time of its creation. Years after the Fourth Shinobi World War, Karin married Shindō Shunsoku and joined the Shunsoku clan.

Abilities

Sensory Perception

Karin’s Mind Eye of Kagura.

Karin possesses a unique ability called the Mind’s Eye of the Kagura, which allows her to sense any targets’ chakra signature. Sasuke states that her sensory abilities are unlike any other. Unlike most sensors, who normally need to mold chakra beforehand, Karin appears able to detect chakra targets without any conscious effort. Using this ability, Karin can detect the presence of others, easily discerning a specific individual, even its species, from a great distance, letting her easily track the target. She can determine the size of a target’s chakra reserves and its potency, and even tell when someone was lying because their dishonest emotions cause their chakra to fluctuate. Karin can also tell if one is trapped in genjutsu, including herself.

Chakra and Life Force

Karin healing Sasuke.

As one of the last members of the legendary Uzumaki clan, Karin has a remarkably powerful life-force. This gives her an immense longevity, and tremendous reserves of chakra and vitality. Her inherit life-force also grants powerful healing capabilities, allowing her to mend wounds and regenerate quickly. Even more, by biting herself and consuming some of her chakra, her healing becomes instantaneous. Likewise, she can heal others by letting them bite her. The potency of Karin’s healing chakra was enough to restore Tsunade Senju’s chakra reserves; however, it is dangerous for her to use that ability more than once a day, and as a consequence, she is left with presumably permanent bite marks.

Ninjutsu

As a member of the Uzumaki clan, her chakra can materialize both the Adamantine Sealing Chains and its incomplete version in combat. During the Fourth Shinobi World War, she was able to use the chains to combat and destroy Tobi’s giant wooden statue and its numerous arms. Karin is also proficient in the use of Earth, Water, Yin, and Yang Release. She was also seen using the Mystical Palm Technique, it is unclear how skilled she is in its usage compared to a medical-nin.

Kenjutsu

Karin is a talented kenjutsu specialist, able to stop Jūgo in his tracks before Sasuke physically stopped his rampage and Shindō calms him down. Later, when Taka attacked Root’s headquarters, Karin was fast enough to catch ten of these specialized Anbu with minimal effort. Against Sai Iburi, one of Danzō’s top agents and third bodyguard, Karin kept pace with him and managed to leave a devastating cut.

Nature Transformation

Karin can use Earth Release techniques including

Intelligence

Karin is quite intelligent, possessing extensive knowledge at her disposal to come up with brilliant strategies that contribute to her missions. While being tracked by the Konoha shinobi, she was able to deduce they were accomplishing this feat by locking on to and following the scent of Sasuke and Shindō, respectively. From this, she quickly came up with a countermeasure to throw them off Hebi’s tracks by tearing up Shindō’s sweat-soaked shirt and scattering them about in multiple directions attached to birds as Jūgo instructed them. She is analytical, capable of quickly deducing the basics of a complex technique such as Izanagi. In combat, she kept a level head, and her default strategy is using ninjutsu techniques to gauge the skill level of her opponent(s) before either killing them or trapping them with finesse and sometimes with more devastating techniques.

Other Skills

Although she usually takes a supporting role for her allies as the team tracker and unorthodox healer, Karin is also competent in taijutsu, and also when losing her temper from Suigetsu’s taunting. Furthermore, she was seen knocking out one of the prisoners in the Southern Hideout once. She has proven to be very nimble and evasive from the countless attacks from Tobi’s wooden statue while also counterattacking it with proficiency.
