Power Progression

Stage / Realm / Level Chapter Notes
Lightning Style: Chidori 100–101 Initially lacked precision and repeatedly missed her intended target; persisted and quickly learned Chidori’s advanced form, which removes the basic technique’s charging-dash requirement.
Elite Jonin-level 143 Described as the weakest among Liu Feng’s companions at this point, though she still possessed Elite Jonin-level combat power.
Peak Kage-level / Sage Mode 144 Mastered Sage Mode; her base strength reached Peak Kage-level, while Sage Mode allowed her to exceed it.
Super Kage-level via Sage Mode 147, 153 Sage Mode raised her to Super Kage-level output. She could enter it in roughly five seconds and sustain it for at least half an hour.
Super Kage-level 179 Receiving Kaguya’s Undying Body greatly increased her chakra, vitality, recovery, and physical strength, making her a genuine Super Kage-level combatant. She also acquired Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack.
Six Paths-level / Sage of Six Paths Mode 255 Liu Feng granted her Six Paths Yang Power, enabling her to use Sage of Six Paths Mode and Truth-Seeking Orbs.
Yomotsu Hirasaka 298 Received an Ability Acquisition Card for the ultimate space-time ninjutsu, significantly improving her mobility and battlefield versatility.

Background

Kushina was the only daughter of Uzumaki Akira, the Uzumaki clan head. At five years old, she fled the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools alongside the surviving clan members. Akira kept her at his side despite the tactical burden, refusing to entrust her safety to anyone else during the escape. 14

After Liu Feng’s ships carried the survivors to the Land of Fire, Akira handed Kushina to Liu Feng when further enemies approached. The clan was attacked again by Root operatives, leaving Kushina frightened and emotionally shaken; Liu Feng protected her from an attacker with Sharingan genjutsu. 14 15

Kushina became deeply attached to Liu Feng after the destruction of her home and clan. She fell asleep while walking to safety, clung to him after he carried her home, and increasingly treated the Uchiha compound as a refuge. 16 26

Her safety remained a political issue in Konoha. Kumogakure ninja attempted to abduct her, but Liu Feng killed the attackers after secretly guarding her for seven days. Akira later revealed that Danzō had sought to recruit Kushina into Root, while Hiruzen had considered making her a Nine-Tails jinchūriki; Akira rejected both possibilities. 24 29 30

Personality

Kushina began as a frightened, silent child overwhelmed by the clan massacre and repeated attacks. Her fear gradually gave way to the fierce temper and stubbornness associated with her “Bloody Red Pepper” nickname. 15 30

She is impulsive, competitive, and easily provoked, particularly when Liu Feng’s attention is directed toward other women. Her confidence can become arrogance, as shown when Tsunade defeated her decisively and forced her to train harder. 101 134

Despite her usual recklessness, Kushina can remain level-headed in critical situations. She accepted command responsibilities during the war, ordered reconnaissance before attacking, withdrew her troops when Sage Mode was nearing its limit, and worried about casualties under her command. 151 154

Kushina is intensely protective of Liu Feng and those she considers family. She was willing to kill another Uzumaki, Kushina Uzumaki, after learning of the woman’s hatred for Liu Feng, and she openly defended Hanabi from Kaguya despite knowing Kaguya was stronger. 157 322

    • Kushina regarded the surviving tools as underwhelming against top-tier opponents because of their activation conditions and chakra costs. 275
