I've said it before and I'll say it again... I HATE my scanner!! ;_; Anywho, this can be somewhat of a spoiler for those who haven't read the manga, so... um... SPOILER!! ... ... ... Is it all clear? Okay! This is Uzumaki Kushina-- the mother of Naruto! (Le gasp! O.O) She is a real character mentioned in the manga (chapter 367). Unfortunately, we don't know what she looks like, so I've used my imagination and the little information that we've got on her and drew this! ^_^ All we know of Kushina is that she's a kunoichi from the Whirlpool Country, has red hair, was a tomboy, was very beautiful, and that Naruto takes after her loud personality and ninjutsu style. Right now the manga give no indication whether she's dead or alive, but I get the feeling that she's gonna have some sort of role later on due to it being a manga rule that to never add in information that isn't important to the plot... I also get the feeling she wasn't married to Minato when she was pregnant with Naruto... ^__^;; As for this picture, its common in the fan world to give Kushina short hair since she is a tomboy... I think I've accidentally made her a little like Sakura... O___O;;;; damn... P.S.- Sorry for the long explanations again... I don't do it on purpose.... T___T
