She was born premature, therefore making her a small and fragile infant. This also affected her height, and made her shorter than almost everyone her age, which earned her two prominent nicknames: '''Shrimp '''(エビ, ''Ebi''), and '''Midget''' (ミゼット, Mizetto). Anzu lost [[Kotori Hoshina|her mother]] due to the childbirth, as Kotori's body couldn't cope with the stress that came with the premature birth. Before her death, Kotori lovingly held her daughter in her palms while she told Anzu that she loved her, even though she knew Anzu wouldn't understand her.

==Relationships==
  +
===OC===
  +
====[[Kotori Hoshina]] - [[Aruto Sarutobi]]====
  +
Anzu always wanted to meet her parents, and she finally had the chance to meet them during the [http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Fourth_Shinobi_World_War Fourth Shinobi World War]. She was able to talk to them and learn a bit about them when she was forced to engage them in combat. Anzu finally got her wish to find out who her parents are, and after their encounter Anzu has visibly matured a lot when her parents entrusted the future her. Kotori and Aruto has been a huge impact on Anzu's overall character, and she has changed for the better.
  +
====Kazuki Sakamoto====
  +
Anzu is bashful around Kazuki, since the boy never hides his feelings for her, and he tells her how he feels about her at every chance he gets. Underneath the obvious love he feels for Anzu, Kazuki is a trustworthy friend who would make her smile whenever she's feeling down. Kazuki is one of the people Anzu trusts the most.
  +
====Tanaki Matsuda====
  +
Anzu deeply trusts Tanaki to the point where she can tell him all her deepest secrets without doubting that it would somehow be revealed to others. Tanaki and Anzu share a relationship that closely resembles one of very close siblings.
  +
====Kazuma Narai====
  +
Anzu and Kazuma initially had a hateful relationship where the two would purposely cause trouble for each other. After the timeskip, this relationship took a U-turn and the two became relatively close, and Kazuma took the role of an overprotective big brother in Anzu's life. Their antics at the beginning sometimes show during Part II, but it now serves as a comic relief.
  +
===Canon===
  +
====[http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Hiruzen_Sarutobi Hiruzen Sarutobi]====
  +
Hiruzen is Anzu's blood-related grandfather. He raised her alongside Konohamaru after the Kyuubi attacked the village and killed her father- her only living parent, thus resulting in Anzu being orphaned. Anzu shared a very loving relationship with him, but regretted all the trouble she involuntarily caused him during the time he was still alive. Anzu respects him as the Hokage, but loathes the fact that her ancestry caused her to have a title she didn't want.
  +
====[http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Asuma_Sarutobi Asuma Sarutobi]====
  +
Anzu deeply loved her uncle ever since she was a small child, often following him around the village and watch him train, which made her vow to surpass him one day. She was depressed for a while after his death, and even attempted to avenge him with Team 10, but she was rejected this opportunity, and she realized that Asuma wouldn't have wanted her to be like how she was at the moment.
  +
====[http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Konohamaru_Sarutobi Konohamaru Sarutobi]====
  +
Konohamaru is more than a cousin to her; to Anzu, Konohamaru is more like a little brother-figure. She spent most of her childhood with him, and he became the closest person to her after her grandfather and uncle passed away. Whenever she learns a new technique, Konohamaru is the first to see it, and she sometimes teaches the techniques he wants to learn. Konohamaru's safety is always top priority for Anzu.
  +
====Konoha 11/12====
  +
=====[http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Sasuke_Uchiha Sasuke Uchiha]=====
  +
Anzu disliked Sasuke even before his family was murdered. Whenever she talks about Sasuke, a rarity in itself, she doesn't call him by his first name, instead, she either calls him simply "Uchiha" or "Uchiha-baka". When she learned that he left the village, she haven't felt any remorse whatsoever over it. However, when she found out that he nearly killed Naruto, she was enraged and disgusted with him.
  +
=====[http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Sakura_Haruno Sakura Haruno]=====
  +
Anzu looks up to Sakura as a friend. Sakura has taught Anzu some taijutsu during the timeskip, so the two girls share a friendly bond.
  +
=====[http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Naruto_Uzumaki Naruto Uzumaki]=====
  +
Anzu trusts Naruto and she supports his dream of becoming Hokage. She would stand up for him if anyone dared to accuse him of anything negative, and she views him as a little brother for his relationship with Konohamaru.
  +
=====[http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Tenten Tenten]=====
  +
Anzu and Tenten aren't that close, but Anzu still trusts her a lot. She always goes to Tenten for advice on her weapons.
  +
=====[http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Rock_Lee Rock Lee]/[http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Guy Might Guy]=====
  +
Anzu is creeped out by their antics most of the time, but she admires them both for their determination to be a shinobi who cannot use ninjutsu.
  +
=====[http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Neji Neji Hyūga]=====
  +
Anzu and Neji don't interact a lot, but when they do it is mostly about serious subjects such as missions. She sometimes trains with him and he gives her advice in which areas she can improve in. When Anzu learned of his death during the war, she silently mourned him.
  +
=====[http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Kiba_Inuzuka Kiba Inuzuka]/[http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Akamaru Akamaru]=====
  +
Kiba and Anzu share a friendly relationship. The two often train together and Anzu is very attached to Akamaru, comically crying when she has to leave on a mission without him.
  +
=====[http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Shino_Aburame Shino Aburame]=====
  +
Anzu, like many others, often forget his existence and she doesn't tend to interact a lot with him, seeing as she is freaked out by his bugs.
  +
=====[http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Hinata_Hy%C5%ABga Hinata Hyūga]=====
  +
Anzu doesn't dislike Hinata, she's just annoyed at her stuttering habit whenever Naruto is near. Anzu always tries to make her overcome this stuttering, but her efforts always seem to be in vain. Anzu was very proud when she found out that Hinata stood up for Naruto against [http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Pain Pain], and also when during the war Hinata successfully performed the [http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Eight_Trigrams_Sixty-Four_Palms Eight Trigrams Sixty Four Palms].
  +
=====[http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Ino_Yamanaka Ino Yamanaka]=====
  +
Anzu doesn't interact with Ino that much, but they can still be considered as friends.
  +
=====[http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Shikamaru_Nara Shikamaru Nara]=====
  +
Anzu and Shikamaru are relatively close, and they are definitely friends. Anzu sometimes challenges Shikamaru to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shogi shōgi] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_%28game%29 Go], even though she is fully aware that she would never win against someone like Shikamaru. This effort is mainly to be close to him as he was her uncle's favourite student, and her youngest cousin's future mentor. To show the close proximity of this relationship, Anzu always affectionally calls him "Shika-kun".
  +
=====[http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Ch%C5%8Dji_Akimichi Chōji Akimichi]=====
  +
Because he was part of her uncle's team, Anzu has spent a lot of time with Chōji, so they can definitely be considered friends. She often cooks for him to prove their friendship, and like many others, she avoids insulting his body structure. Like her uncle, she describes his body as "pleasingly plump".

Anzu Sarutobi (猿飛あんず, Sarutobi Anzu) is a chūnin-level kunoichi of Konohagakure's Sarutobi clan and a member of Team Kazuma. She possesses the Swift Release kekkei genkai.

Background

Kotorianzubirth

A premature Anzu with her mother Kotori.

Anzu is the granddaughter of Hiruzen and Biwako Sarutobi as well as the niece of Asuma through her father Aruto Sarutobi. She was born premature, therefore making her a small and fragile infant. This also affected her height, and made her shorter than almost everyone her age, which earned her two prominent nicknames: Shrimp (エビ, Ebi), and Midget (ミゼット, Mizetto). Anzu lost her mother due to the childbirth, as Kotori's body couldn't cope with the stress that came with the premature birth. Before her death, Kotori lovingly held her daughter in her palms while she told Anzu that she loved her, even though she knew Anzu wouldn't understand her.

Anzu was close to reaching the age of 4 months when the Nine-Tails attacked Konoha, and her father was called from her side to fight the beast, a battle he never returned from. During this, Anzu was left in the care of a babysitter hired by Aruto. Later, Anzu's grandfather Hiruzen took her in and raised her alongside her cousin Konohamaru, who was born a few years after the event in which she was orphaned.

During her childhood Hiruzen rarely let her out while he taught her the essences of a ninja, and she had a hard time in the academy as she had a short attention span, however it improved a bit under Hiruzen's teachings, but not to the point where she can focus for long.

When she graduated, she was placed on Team Kazuma alongside Kazuki Sakamoto and Tanaki Matsuda under the command of Kazuma Narai.

Personality

Anzu is a playful girl who lacks a long attention span, and she also has this habit of randomly pointing things out, even if the conversation is about something completely different.

She likes to tease others about anything she can, and she enjoys finding new things out about others. Others often say that she inherited her personality from her mother Kotori, who had the same playful personality Anzu has.

Anzu is often saddened at the fact that most people only see her as the Third Hokage's granddaughter, and so she developed a mild rebellious personality that sometimes got her into trouble with Hiruzen, who brushed it off saying "her father's personality genes are kicking in".

She is almost never serious, unless it concerns the safety of her family and friends, and the safety of her village. During those times, Anzu is not afraid to sacrifice her own safety to protect the people close to her. She is kind to others, and she is not easily provoked, unless they insult her short height. When she is angered, Anzu is capable of holding a grudge for a long time, but if this grudge is on someone close to her, like Konohamaru, the grudge is significantly shortened.

Kazukianzu

Anzu recieving flowers from Kazuki - a sign of his affections.

Anzu has a big sister personality, like her father Aruto, who had a big brother personality, and this is applied to mostly everyone who she comes into contact with. She is bashful around her teammate Kazuki, since he never really hides his attraction towards her.

Appearance

Anzusarutobifb

Anzu's initial appearance in Part I (Left) and Part II (Right).

Anzu is a little shorter than the average females of her age, due to the fact that she was born prematurely. She has fair skin, brown hair and blue eyes - a striking resemblance to her mother, even more so with the way she keeps her hair - parted from the left side with a white hair clip, collarbone-length bangs and knee-length hair put up into a high ponytail.

In Part I, Anzu wore a light purple high-collared, mid-thigh length dress that parted on the sides with arm warmers of the same colour, and both of these have blue designs. She also wore black shorts with the standard blue shinobi sandals, and wore her forehead protector on the standard blue cloth around her forehead. On the back of her dress there is the Konoha symbol in white, much like her cousin who has it on the front of his shirt in red.

In Part II, her colour scheme haven't changed. She wears a light purple sleeveless top with a skirt in the same colour. Her top is closed on the right side with three white bands, the metal plate of her forehead protector is placed above her left breast, and the Konoha symbol is on the back in white. She wears her arms warmers and black shorts, and she has a fishnet shirt under the top and replaces her typical shinobi sandals for black more revealing ones.

She later dons the uniform of the Allied Shinobi Forces inclusive of a Konohagakure flak jacket, black pants, black long-sleeved shirt and black shinobi sandals. She now wears her forehead protector on her forehead on a black cloth.

Abilities

After learning the meaning of true determination, Anzu's abilities began to show significant improvement over the timeskip, implying that she may have inherited her grandfather, the Third Hokage's, natural talent. Anzu displayed a high level of speed and evasive skills, able to dodge most attacks of her opponents. Her speed is most likely because of her kekkei genkai.

Kekkei Genkai

Anzu inherited the Swift Release from her mother Kotori. The Swift Release (迅遁, Jinton; Viz "Quick Style") is an advanced nature kekkei genkai that can be used to move with instantaneous speed, granting the user an advantage over opponents with more strength than speed, such as users of Chakra Enhanced Strength. This nature therefore renders the user invulnerable against most taijutsu.

Ninjutsu

Nature Transformation

Anzu has displayed competent use of nature transformation, being able to use Fire Release techniques such as her uncle's signature technique, Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning. She has also demonstrated aptitude with other high-level techniques such as the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique as well as with the generic Body Flicker Technique.

Fūinjutsu

Anzu was shown to be able to use fūinjutsu in order to summon her desired weapons. She generally has them sealed in a pair of bracelets, but she also has some sealed in scrolls as backup.

Bukijutsu

Anzu has regularly displayed great skill in various ninja tools. She displayed the ability to infuse her kunai with chakra. Anzu has an advanced skill in bukijutsu. She was shown to be able to use various parts of bukijutsu to suit her environment.

Kenjutsu

By Part II, Anzu became a highly skilled user of kenjutsu and acquired twin katana blades, which become a major part of her fighting style. Anzu's lethal swordsmanship is very versatile, using impressive speed and precision behind her attacks to leave little time for enemies to react. She can effectively use it in both hands, a sign of her dual wielding skills, and wield it normal or reverse grip, giving her various attack styles and able to attack or defend from various angles, easily able to change her pattern to suit the situation.

Shurikenjutsu

Anzu is also well-versed in usage of kunai and shuriken. Anzu wears a pair of bracelets on her arm under her arm warmers with a special seal to instantly summon shuriken and kunai of various size and shape, increasing her supply and launch speed, able to unleash a large barrage at blazing speed.

Kyūjutsu

Since a young age, Anzu was interested in archery, however her aim was nowhere near good enough to be utilised in battle. As she matured in both age and skill, her aim improved to the point of striking targets as quick and elusive as Kabuto in his Sage Mode. She new depends on this style of bukijutsu when dealing with long-range combatants.

Taijutsu

Anzu was taught a few taijutsu moves by Sakura, which she tended to enhance with her kekkei genkai to give her opponent no time to react or to defend against her assaults. Taijutsu became one of her most favoured fighting styles, but she sometimes uses ninjutsu to further ensure her victory in any battles.

Intelligence

Anzu was shown to be able to analyse her opponents and predict their next moves at a young age. When she does find the will to study, she can memorise a bunch of information with complex key words, even if she got those words wrong a few times. This memorisation ability aids her in her predictions about her opponents.

Other Skills

Teamwork

Anzu was shown to be able to work well with others. Team Kazuma is one of the teams in Konohagakure who has a good teamwork, although it is nowhere near the Ino–Shika–Chō formation.

Part I

Chūnin Exam Arc

Main article: Chūnin Exam Arc

Anzu and her team are introduced during the Chūnin Exams. The team passed the first and second phase, and because too many teams passed the second stage, they advanced to the preliminary matches. Anzu battled a shinobi from Kusagakure. Anzu won the battle with the use of her kekkei genkai, so she passed to the final stage.

During the timespan of one month that the participants received to train and get ready for the final stage, Anzu trained with her grandfather, her uncle and by herself most of the time. When the final stage started, Anzu was matched against a kunoichi from Sunagakure. Anzu won by default when her opponent forfeited so that she wouldn't reveal any of her abilities. When the invasion started, she was rendered unconscious by Kabuto's genjutsu.

Invasion of Konoha Arc

She was then seen to be crouching with Tenten besides Hinata whom was being healed by Sakura. Hinata waking up, Anzu and the others were happy to have her back, with Hinata thanking each and every one of them. Katsuyu later informs them that Naruto was fighting with the last Pain much to everyones shock. Later, she and the rest of the village celebrated Naruto's victory on defeating Pain.

Five Kage Summit Arc

Main article: Five Kage Summit Arc

When news reached Konoha of Sasuke's recent dealings with Akatsuki, Anzu and the rest of the Konoha 11 decided that they should personally kill Sasuke before he involves the village in a war. Ino who was unhappy about this cried and was criticised by Kiba about it. Tenten and Anzu comforted Ino. When Naruto came back to the village along with Sakura, he insisted that dealing with Sasuke be left to him. Tenten got angry and told him that this should not be something he undertook on his own, and that none of them would just stand by and watch. Anzu told him that she agreed with Tenten. Despite this, Naruto firmly stated that he would be the one to handle Sasuke, and that he'd tell them everything when the time came, as he walked off to Ichiraku, leaving Anzu and the others in mixed emotions.

Adventures at Sea Arc

Main article: Adventures at Sea Arc

Anzu was in helping in the weapons supply room for preparations of the Fourth Shinobi World War. Tenten, Hinata, Sakura, Ino, Shiho and herself all gathered up and started reminiscing on how they met and were brought close like classmates at the Chunin Exams, shortly after being interrupted by a drunk Tsunade whom was stressed out from all the Hokage work, and Shizune who also joined in. On the other side of the restaurant, Choji had gathered up an all guy's night, hence not being invited by Tenten, as she said it was a girls only night, which he commented that it was bold of Tenten for inviting Lady Tsunade. With the night ending, everyone went their separate ways home after Tsunade suggested drinking their sorrows away, and not being able to remember anything the following day.

Shinobi World War Arc

Main article: Shinobi World War Arc

When the Fourth Shinobi World War begins, she was placed in the First Division with Tenten, Chōza Akimichi and Hiashi Hyūga. The First Division was sent to the border of the Land of Lightning to defend against an approaching portion of the White Zetsu Army. With the White Zetsu Army approaching, Anzu was overwhelmed by the amount of them. Later, she met with both her parents, both of whem she was forced to engage in a battle. Anzu was later seen on the sidelines devastated by the massive damage that was being caused by Kinkaku, whom was transformed as a Jinchuriki. Shortly after, Shikamaru, Ino, and Chōji came as reinforcements.

After the First Division defeated Kinkaku and Ginkaku, Anzu was seen on the ground, exhausted from using her kekkei genkai so much. A fellow Konoha shinobi healed her, and told her not to use her kekkei genkai so much.

Ten-Tails Revival Arc

Main article: Ten-Tails Revival Arc

After being informed by Inoichi Yamanaka from HQ that Naruto and Killer B were fighting the "masked Madara" Anzu and the rest of the Konoha 11 rushed to their aid as fast as they could. Later, Tenten arrived with her division which was announced by Darui, she stood alongside the remainder of the Allied Shinobi Forces as they prepared to face their opposition by trapping the Ten-Tails which turned out to be a failure. The Ten-Tails later began its move.

After facing several attacks from the Ten-Tails, Anzu later learned of Neji's death, and Anzu silently mourned his death. Having received chakra from Naruto, Anzu and the other members of the Alliance charged towards the Uchiha and the Ten-Tails. With the situation later turning grim as the Alliance was trapped in a barrier with a Tailed Beast Ball-firing tree, Anzu and the other shinobi soon found themselves shrouded in the previous Version 1 mantles again. She and the others subsequently found themselves on the outside of the barrier, escaping the near-fatal attack thanks to Naruto and Minato's action. The Ten-Tails transformed into its final form, the God Tree, and ravaged the Alliance. Anzu was able to escape its chakra absorbing attacks. Hashirama Senju then had Ino link-up everyone telepathically. While his words fail to inspire anyone, Naruto's senjutsu-enhanced Tailed Beast Mode combined with Ino's telepathy caused his emotions and personal memories to be transferred to everyone, spurring them on.

Anzu and her comrades later assisted Naruto with wresting control of all the tailed beasts' chakra from Obito's control in order to stop the Shinju from blooming.

Infinate Tsukuyomi Arc

Main article: Infinite Tsukuyomi Arc

The Alliance was ultimately successful in stopping Obito, however, their victory is short lived as Madara was able to revive himself via the Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique and Guruguru appeared on the battlefield launching a renewed assault. Anzu regrouped with Kazuki and Tanaki, as the team saw Gaara, Sakura and a dying Naruto fly over them from above. 

Later, when Madara Uchiha finally succeeded with the activation of the Infinite Tsukuyomi, much like the rest of the world, she too fell under the genjutsu's power. Inside the genjutsu, Anzu dreamed of her parents, uncle and grandfather still alive.

Movies

Naruto Shippūden 3: Inheritors of the Will of Fire

Anzu was first seen with the rest of Konoha 11 eating barbecue to celebrate Naruto and Sai's recovery. After Naruto and Sai arrive, Naruto exclaims that Shikamaru is paying for everyone. She and the others quickly thank Shikamaru before he can protest. After Hiruko announced a fourth ninja war will occur, she was one of Konoha 11, except Naruto, assigned by Tsunade to secure the village. After Naruto and Sakura left the village, she and the others were ordered to go after them and bring them back. When they encountered them they all got ambushed by Ichi. Anzu and the rest of the team, except Team Guy, went ahead.

In the end when Hiruko revealed his true form to Naruto and Kakashi, she and the others all defeated his chimera together with Anzu using her kekkei genkai to speed up her taijutsu on the beast. She and the others praise Naruto for defeating Hiruko and witness the strange moment between Naruto and Kakashi that occured because of his creepy smile after remembering Obito.

Relationships

OC

Kotori Hoshina - Aruto Sarutobi

Anzu always wanted to meet her parents, and she finally had the chance to meet them during the Fourth Shinobi World War. She was able to talk to them and learn a bit about them when she was forced to engage them in combat. Anzu finally got her wish to find out who her parents are, and after their encounter Anzu has visibly matured a lot when her parents entrusted the future her. Kotori and Aruto has been a huge impact on Anzu's overall character, and she has changed for the better.

Kazuki Sakamoto

Anzu is bashful around Kazuki, since the boy never hides his feelings for her, and he tells her how he feels about her at every chance he gets. Underneath the obvious love he feels for Anzu, Kazuki is a trustworthy friend who would make her smile whenever she's feeling down. Kazuki is one of the people Anzu trusts the most.

Tanaki Matsuda

Anzu deeply trusts Tanaki to the point where she can tell him all her deepest secrets without doubting that it would somehow be revealed to others. Tanaki and Anzu share a relationship that closely resembles one of very close siblings.

Kazuma Narai

Anzu and Kazuma initially had a hateful relationship where the two would purposely cause trouble for each other. After the timeskip, this relationship took a U-turn and the two became relatively close, and Kazuma took the role of an overprotective big brother in Anzu's life. Their antics at the beginning sometimes show during Part II, but it now serves as a comic relief.

Canon

Hiruzen Sarutobi

Hiruzen is Anzu's blood-related grandfather. He raised her alongside Konohamaru after the Kyuubi attacked the village and killed her father- her only living parent, thus resulting in Anzu being orphaned. Anzu shared a very loving relationship with him, but regretted all the trouble she involuntarily caused him during the time he was still alive. Anzu respects him as the Hokage, but loathes the fact that her ancestry caused her to have a title she didn't want.

Asuma Sarutobi

Anzu deeply loved her uncle ever since she was a small child, often following him around the village and watch him train, which made her vow to surpass him one day. She was depressed for a while after his death, and even attempted to avenge him with Team 10, but she was rejected this opportunity, and she realized that Asuma wouldn't have wanted her to be like how she was at the moment.

Konohamaru Sarutobi

Konohamaru is more than a cousin to her; to Anzu, Konohamaru is more like a little brother-figure. She spent most of her childhood with him, and he became the closest person to her after her grandfather and uncle passed away. Whenever she learns a new technique, Konohamaru is the first to see it, and she sometimes teaches the techniques he wants to learn. Konohamaru's safety is always top priority for Anzu.

Konoha 11/12

Sasuke Uchiha

Anzu disliked Sasuke even before his family was murdered. Whenever she talks about Sasuke, a rarity in itself, she doesn't call him by his first name, instead, she either calls him simply "Uchiha" or "Uchiha-baka". When she learned that he left the village, she haven't felt any remorse whatsoever over it. However, when she found out that he nearly killed Naruto, she was enraged and disgusted with him.

Sakura Haruno

Anzu looks up to Sakura as a friend. Sakura has taught Anzu some taijutsu during the timeskip, so the two girls share a friendly bond.

Naruto Uzumaki

Anzu trusts Naruto and she supports his dream of becoming Hokage. She would stand up for him if anyone dared to accuse him of anything negative, and she views him as a little brother for his relationship with Konohamaru.

Tenten

Anzu and Tenten aren't that close, but Anzu still trusts her a lot. She always goes to Tenten for advice on her weapons.

Rock Lee/Might Guy

Anzu is creeped out by their antics most of the time, but she admires them both for their determination to be a shinobi who cannot use ninjutsu.

Neji Hyūga

Anzu and Neji don't interact a lot, but when they do it is mostly about serious subjects such as missions. She sometimes trains with him and he gives her advice in which areas she can improve in. When Anzu learned of his death during the war, she silently mourned him.

Kiba Inuzuka/Akamaru

Kiba and Anzu share a friendly relationship. The two often train together and Anzu is very attached to Akamaru, comically crying when she has to leave on a mission without him.

Shino Aburame

Anzu, like many others, often forget his existence and she doesn't tend to interact a lot with him, seeing as she is freaked out by his bugs.

Hinata Hyūga

Anzu doesn't dislike Hinata, she's just annoyed at her stuttering habit whenever Naruto is near. Anzu always tries to make her overcome this stuttering, but her efforts always seem to be in vain. Anzu was very proud when she found out that Hinata stood up for Naruto against Pain, and also when during the war Hinata successfully performed the Eight Trigrams Sixty Four Palms.

Ino Yamanaka

Anzu doesn't interact with Ino that much, but they can still be considered as friends.

Shikamaru Nara

Anzu and Shikamaru are relatively close, and they are definitely friends. Anzu sometimes challenges Shikamaru to shōgi and Go, even though she is fully aware that she would never win against someone like Shikamaru. This effort is mainly to be close to him as he was her uncle's favourite student, and her youngest cousin's future mentor. To show the close proximity of this relationship, Anzu always affectionally calls him "Shika-kun".

Chōji Akimichi

Because he was part of her uncle's team, Anzu has spent a lot of time with Chōji, so they can definitely be considered friends. She often cooks for him to prove their friendship, and like many others, she avoids insulting his body structure. Like her uncle, she describes his body as "pleasingly plump".

Others

Tsunade

Anzu is respectful towards Tsunade because of her title and position, but she is visibly annoyed at Tsunade's need for alcohol. Anzu describes Tsunade as "a Hokage who would kick anyone to hell and back if they threatened the village and it's residents".

Kurenai Yūhi

Because Kurenai is her uncle's lover, Anzu loves Kurenai as if she was her aunt. Anzu also told her numerous times that she wants to partake in her youngest cousin's teachings when the child grows up. She also aided Kurenai multiple times during her pregnancy, a sign that Anzu truthfully thinks of her as a family.
