To add, Kushina also bears the "Four Symbols Seal" in her belly to keep the Nine-Tails, Kurama, sealed inside her, though it is invisible unless active, such as when the Nine-Tails' chakra is used or if the seal is being broken/challenged.

Kushina also still retains a noticeable sassy side and quick temper, both aspects of her personality that have passed down from her younger self. Often times, when she gets annoyed or angered, she does have a tendency to lash out on them, which even she sees as off-putting, regardless if it’s for real or if she’s lashing out playfully or unserious.

To add to her dislike of conflict, Kushina heavily disapproves of war. Having witnessed destruction, she disliked the violence and suffering caused by war. And once more to add to that, Kushina also dislikes the hatred of Kurama, the Nine-Tails sealed within her. She struggled initially with the Nine-Tails' immeasurable negative emotions and dislikes its influence, even when able to counter it.

History: Born into the famed Uzumaki clan of the Hidden Eddy Village (Uzushiogakure), Kushina lived most of her youth being caught up in war, making her seek for daily peace. At a young age, she was sent to the Hidden Leaf Village (Konohagakure) and enrolled in the Academy after the destruction of her village. Wanting to make a strong first impression, she proclaimed to her class that she would be the first female Hokage. The other kids laughed at her statement and began calling her "Tomato" because of her then-round face and fiery red hair. This prompted her to lash out and pummel the kids who teased her. This, in addition to her red hair flying wildly around her as she did so, earned her the nickname of "Red Hot-Blooded Habanero". Kushina was eventually told why she had to leave her home and go to the Hidden Leaf Village; because of her special chakra, she was to be the next jinchūriki of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, Kurama. Kushina was terrified by the idea, but she was comforted by the Nine-Tails' then-current jinchūriki, Mito Uzumaki. Before the transfer was performed, Mito advised Kushina that love was the only way to tame the Nine-Tails and overcome its hate. Kushina soon grew close to Mito, who would teach Kushina more about their clan and how to find her own path in life. When Kushina was around 13 years old,she — now a genin — was kidnapped by the Hidden Cloud Village (Kumogakure), who wanted to make use of her special chakra in order to gain control of the Nine-Tails. As they escorted her to the Hidden Cloud, she secretly plucked and left behind strands of her red hair to mark her trail in the hopes that someone would find her. Minato Namikaze, a former classmate whom Kushina had believed to be a wimp, was the only one to pick up on this. After rescuing her, he informed her that he had always admired her red hair. Since Minato proved himself to be anything but a wimp, accepted her, and liked the one thing she'd always hated about herself, Kushina fell in love with him, now considering her red hair as the "red thread of fate" that had brought them together. Ultimately, Minato's reciprocated feelings helped her with overcoming the Nine-Tails. As the jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails, Kushina was regularly watched over by Anbu bodyguards and not allowed to leave the village, with surveillance growing ever tighter after her kidnapping. At the same time, because of the Third Shinobi World War, she was getting prepped to join the war as other villages began using their jinchūriki. Fearing for Kushina's safety, Minato began working on a new technique to aid Kushina with in experience in using the Nine-Tails' power, the Rasengan, based off the Tailed Beast Ball. One day, Kushina bound her guards and left the confine of a barrier that worked in tandem with the seal keeping the Nine-Tails in her. When Minato revealed his rationale for creating the jutsu, the Nine-Tails attempted to break free, injuring Minato in the process. His love for Kushina inspired her to fight back and regain control. Ultimately, as it was a gift to Kushina, she came up with the technique's name, basing the name off her teachings of spiraling love into a target from Mito. As she grew up, Kushina became renowned for her beauty and unique ninjutsu style, including the fūinjutsu of her clan. At some point, Kushina married Minato. She was later present to witness her husband's reign as Fourth Hokage, being very excited for him upon first learning of it.
