Background / History
Fu was made the jinchuriki of Chōmei, the Seven-Tails, by Takigakure. Her mother, the Takikage, states that the decision was made only because there had been no other option. Fu and Chōmei gradually became companions through their shared lack of freedom. 28 29
As a child, Fu befriended Yato and showed him a partial Tailed Beast transformation. His terrified reaction convinced her that others would see her as a monster. Although the Takikage later sealed and altered Yato's memories to preserve their friendship, Fu detected the interference through Chōmei and withdrew from Yato and other children altogether. 28
During Kakuzu's assault on Takigakure, Fu protected Ye Wuji and confronted Kakuzu herself. She relied on Tailed Beast Mode and prior intelligence on Kakuzu to hold him off, but was left exhausted and admitted she could not have maintained control of Chōmei in a prolonged battle. Afterwards, Chōmei agreed to teach her more, recognizing her as an unusually compatible jinchuriki. 27 28
The Takikage concluded that Kakuzu's true target had been Fu or the Seven-Tails. Fu was confined to the village under Anbu protection, with preparations made to send her and Mai to Sunagakure under another identity. 28 29
Fu later took over Ye Wuji's surveillance and began training him. Over nearly a month, she taught him combat awareness, anatomy, taijutsu, chakra theory, and Water Style techniques. Before leaving Takigakure with her father's subordinates, she revealed her jinchuriki form to Ye Wuji and took him flying. 31 32 33 34
Appearance
Fu is a female ninja with long green hair. Her jinchuriki transformations manifest green, scale-covered wings and a tail. 27 34
- In combat against Kakuzu, she manifested a pair of green wings. 27
- Her more complete revealed form has three pairs of green wings and a green tail. 34
- The wings' scales display visible, intricate patterns. 34
Personality
Fu projects confidence and regularly boasts about her strength, even claiming she would have killed Kakuzu had he not fled. Beneath that bravado, she is deeply affected by the isolation of being a jinchuriki and fears being rejected by anyone close to her. 28 29
She is strict, blunt, and physically demanding as a teacher. Her training of Ye Wuji emphasizes vigilance, vulnerable body parts, silent killing, and reacting properly in combat; she repeatedly beats him to break habits she considers dangerous. Despite this severity, she enjoys teaching him and is visibly happy when he improves. 31 32
Fu is protective of her younger sister Mai and accepts Mai's promise to defend her. She also comes to view Ye Wuji as a younger brother after he accepts her transformed appearance without fear. 28 34
