Yasuko Kazeshima is a Chunin-level kunoichi from Konohagkaure and a member of Team Asami.

Background

Yasuko stalking Neji

Yasuko is the second child of Kuno Kazeshima and Sora Hiwasaki and a member of the Kazeshima clan. She had a very happy childhood. Nothing depressing have ever happened to her. Until the day her older sister, Yushiko, died at the age of 8 due to a serious disease. Yasuko fell in to despair. Her family comforted her but she was still depressed. Soon, she dreamt of Yushiko, telling her to live her life and be happy. Also telling her that she will be here whenever Yasuko needs. Yasuko became happy because she knows that Yushiko is not gone yet. She is still looking after them. Yasuko became more happy and cheerful.

During her academy years, she wasn't the top student. She had average work, but she's still happy. She didn't have many friends during her days though she's friendly and cheerful. No one really notice her. However, she managed to become friends with Hinata. Since Hinata is very shy, Yasuko always stayed near Hinata and encourages her to be confident.

After she graduated from the academy, she was placed in a team with Reiji Minami and Saburo Koizumi under the command of Asami Nakashima. Her teammates became the ones who she can always count on. She was always training with them. She discovered her new abilit while training, the controlling power. Asami warns Yasuko not to overuse both the time and controlling power, since it may lead to death if overused.

Personality

Yasuko laughing/smiling

Yasuko was and is a very fun, happy and cheerful, sometime shy person. Everytime she's around, she always makes everyone happy. Everytime she fails a mission , she was not mad, depressed or upset. Instead she became happy because her thought is when you make a mistake, you'll learn from it and do better next time. She doesn't like to fight. Everytime someone challenges her to a fight, she would either decline it or talk them out. She'll only fight in training or real combat. After the chunin exam , she developed her feelings for Neji . She hated Neji when he fought Hinata but later on, she noticed Neji became soft, Yasuko developed her feelings for him because she thinks he's mature, cool, handsome and strong, plus he changed his cold personality. She never let Neji know about until the new chunin exam. She was always smiling and blushing around Neji.

Appearance

Yasuko has brown eyes, fair skin, long brown hair. In Part I, she wore a red long sleeved hoodie with a gray inside shirt and a light orange shorts and orange skirt on it, with an ankle shinobi shoes. When off duty, she wears a regular red shirt. Her hair is straight down with no ponytails. During Part II, she has long brown hair with a long ponytail at the back of her hair.she wore a gray inside shirt with a blue silk jacket. She also wore gray shorts and a dark blue skirt with a slit on it. She wore a regular shinobi boots. She has longer, straighter hair with ponytail. She is rather short in height and doesn't weigh much. She's insecure about her height and weight. She always wanted to be tall and have average weight.

Abilities

Yasuko has the time power, the ability of her clan. She can go back in time, go to the future, stop the time, stop the time of movement of something, she can reverse time, forwards time, change the time and so on. She also has one special ability, the ability to control. This allows her to control whatever she want, she can control everything but this power uses alot of chakra, and if overused, the user will die. The time power too, if overused, the user will also die. She is also very skilled in taijutsu .

Time

Bird hand sign used for Time jutsu

Yasuko has the ability to control time, which is the ability of her clan. The hand sign of all the time jutsu is Bird. There are plenty of jutsu, such as Future portal, which the user opens a portal and send non-living things or living things to the present world. There is also Past portal, which does the same thing, only it brings things or living things from the past. She can use Single Time Stop to stop the time of an object or thing she aimed at. She can use Whole Time Stop to stop the time of the whole surrounding from going forward. This goes the same with Single Time Reversal, Single Time Forward, Whole Time Reversal, Whole Time Forward, and the rest. She can change the time of an object, or the surrouding, example, She can change an evening day into a morning day or afternoon day, or night. She can travel back in time to the past or travel to the future. All these only uses the Bird hand seal. However, there is a risk, if the user overuse the power, he or she will either become unconscious for a long time. It uses up chakra very quickly so the user must use it for only a short time. There is a sign to when the power is overused. A three lines mark appear under the user's left eye. That is the sign.

Controlling

Yasuko has an ability that no one else have. It's the controlling ability. This allows her to control whatever she wants. Shr can control humans, animals, things and others. She can also control inner organs of living things. She can control the organs to stop functioning as well. In conclusion, she can control anything and everything. It may look similar to a Rinnegan repelling a ninjutsu. But it's different. The risk of this power is far more dangerous than her time power. If overused, the user will die. There is no sign when overused. So the user can only use it for a short period of time. The time when overused changes from time to time. The only thing that allows her to know when her power's overused, is her time power. She can use it to see when will her controlling ability will be overused. The risk is very high. Yasuko is only allowed to use it in serious situation.

Taijutsu

Due to the risk of both her powers, Yasuko trained hard in Taijutsu. She learned Taijutsu from Lee and Guy. She uses Taijutsu in normal combat, but in serious combat, she uses both Taijutsu and either her powers. Her taijutsu style is very similar to Lee's and Guy's taijutsu, But she cannot open the gates.

Relationships

Reiji teasing Yasuko about Neji

Reiji Ishikawa

Reiji is Yasuko's teammate. They are really close together, like best friends. He's agressive to others but he is very sweet to Yasuko. He had a secret crush on Yasuko, but since he knows that Yasuko have a crush on Neji, he didn't told her about it. He always teases Yasuko about Neji, which made Yasuko all red. He thought he had no chance with herm so instead, he encourage Yasuko to confess to Neji, although Yasuko couldn't. Reiji looks similar to Kiba, which is what Yasuko teases him about. These two always tease each other like best friends. They are always willing to give a helping hand to each other.

Saburo Minami

Saburo is also Yasuko's teammate. Yasuko is not really close to him. He acts like he never care about his comrades, but when it comes to serious situation, he is the most helpful of all. he acts like comrades are nothing to him but he deeply cares for his them inside. Yasuko became closer to him as the series progress.

Asami Nakashima

Asami is Yasuko's sensei. She was always easy going, kind and always smiling. Asami helped Yasuko train after she lost in the Chunin Exam's preliminaries. Asami is like a mother to Yasuko.

Her body was found on on the land where the Fourth Shinobi World War was located, she was found after Neji's death. Yasuko, after crying when Neji died, cried again. Yasuko faced her biggest fear, twice.

Neji Hyūga

Neji and Yasuko

Yasuko met Neji during the Chunin Exams. When she saw his fight with Hinata, she was enraged since Hinata is her friend. When she looked at Neji, he gave her a death glare. However, after Naruto changed him, Yasuko started to notice him. After his fight with Kidomaru, Yasuko couldn't help but worry. Afterward, she brings him flowers, when he's still unconscious. In the anime, Yasuko often went on missions with his team, which leads Yasuko to fall for him even more. Yasuko's and Neji's team hang out together often. Yasuko always blush around Neji, which Neji, confused, smiles back a little. Neji helped her train when he's not training with Hinata. Yasuko never had the courage to confess to him. When Neji died, Yasuko was crushed to the core. She, alongside Lee, Tenten and Guy, mourn Neji's death, while a teary Yasuko quietly "confess" to him. When Sasuke returns, she was still next to Neji's body, not leaving it for a second, which Guy told her "It's okay". When the mini clone of the ten tails tried to attack Yasuko and Neji, Yasuko turns around with fiery eyes, using her controlling power without hestitation, instantly killing the clone and the surrounding clones. She promise that Neji will be forever in her heart.

Yuki Ikeda

Yuki is one of Yasuko's many friends. They met each other at the Chunin Exams. But they didn't really "notice" each other in the first exam. In the Forest of Death, Yuki's team stole Yasuko's scroll. During the preliminaries, Yasuko saw the fight between Yuki and Hiromi Takahashi. When Yuki was rushed to the hospital, Yasuko was scared that she'll end up like that, because she never fought with other people before, only training with her teammates. But when she saw Naruto's fight, she was influenced by him and was not scared anymore. She was concerned about Yuki if she'll be alright. Since both Yasuko and Yuki trained often with Team Guy, they got to know each other. When not training, Yasuko talked with Yuki and discussed about various things, Team Guy as the major subject, since they both took interest in them. They trained together often and became friends.  When Neji died, Yasuko held back tears while comforting Yuki. That is when Yasuko realise that Yuki loved Neji. Both Yuki and Yasuko grew cold and bitter, but Yasuko managed to be happy again because of her friends, she tried to help Yuki achieve her dream to become a jōnin and helped her snap out of her depression. They visited Neji's grave together.

Hinata Hyūga

Hinata is Yasuko's best friend. During her academy days, Hinata was always shy and quiet, Yasuko always encourage her to be confident. Yasuko also knew how Hinata loved Naruto, that's why she does everything to bring them together, which didn't work since Hinata always ran away from Naruto whenever she sees him.
