Her name translates as "flaming purple sunset". She was Team 8's mentor and wife of Asuma Sarutobi. Yuhi Kurenai is one of the few female jōnin in Konoha, a kind and silent kunoichi who always keeps her opinions to herself.

Start

At the age of 9 Kurenai Yuhi graduated from the shinobi academy and was assigned to a team with Asuma and Raido Namiashi. At the age of 13, she received the title of chunin, and became a jōnin only shortly before the start of the anime, at about 25-26 years old.

When the Nine-Tails attacked Konoha, Kurenai, along with other ninjas, zealously tried to help in the defense of the village. However, older shinobi, including Yuhi's father, removed the youth from such a dangerous event, arguing that due to the internal problems of the village, the younger generation should not risk their lives. They should live long and inherit the Will of Fire.

Yuhi has an innate talent for genjutsu (putting an opponent in a world of illusions). Because of this, the Third assigned her to look after a girl from the Kurama clan, who was also a master of genjutsu, but could not control her powers. But seeing how fast the destructiveYakumo's power, the Hokage tells Kurenai to seal her powers. Yuhi became very attached to the girl, but she could not disobey the order and literally put an end to her ninja career with her own hands.

Character

Yuhi Kurenai is brave, good-natured and caring. Even her classmate, with whom she had nothing in common, she could not leave in trouble. The story took place 12 years after the attack on the village of the Nine-Tails. Kurenai noticed that Hatake Kakashi was in a deep depression due to the death of Rin and Obito. Together with Maito and Sarutobi, Kurenai manages to persuade the Third to release Hatake from his position in the ANBU and make him a jōnin mentor. Yuhi believed that this would help him become the same good person he was before.

He is also very worried about his students from the eighth team, in particular, for Hinata, who at first always gives in to difficulties. Yuuhi is interested in growing up young ninja and puts in a lot of effort to raise worthy replacements.

Kurenai's character is unbending. But at the same time, she is honest, simple and open. In the Naruto anime, Yuuhi Kurenai doesn't talk much, she is more in thought, this is another feature of her character.

Asuma and Yuhi

Often in the anime, Kurenai appears with Asuma Sarutobi. The fact that they have a serious relationship, the audience guess, but until the end of the series it remained unknown whether she was married to him. Of course, this was the reason for the fans of the pairing Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yuhi, hentai began to draw and inventrelated fanfiction.

It wasn't until the second season of the anime that it became known how serious Yuuha's relationship with Asuma was. Sarutobi is sent on a mission to suppress the Akatsuki, during which he is killed. Kurenai is very saddened by his death and does not participate in missions for a long time. In addition, the audience finds out that she is pregnant, and it becomes clear that she and Sarutobi had more than just a light flirtation. Kurenai named the newborn girl Mirai, which means "future". Yuuhi has taken on a new role as a single mother and has raised a cheerful and responsible girl who never forgets her father.

Appearance

Yuhi Kurenai is a beautiful and slender kunoichi with medium length black hair that falls down to her shoulders. Her eyes are scarlet, the woman always wears makeup: purple shadows on her eyelids, bright red lipstick on her lips. Most often in the anime, Kurenai appears in a "grid" (a kind of ninja armor) with a wide scarlet sleeve on his right arm and a short white cloak consisting of wide bandages. Kurenai's arms and upper thighs are also wrapped in bandages. The protector of the village is worn as a headband.

In the fillers, Yuuhi could be seen wearing the standard Konoha ninja outfit at one time. During pregnancy, she appears in a loose sundress and blouse.

Abilities

Yuha Kurenai's abilities are little known, but her genjutsu skills can be compared to Itachi Uchiha in strength. She uses trees and flower petals to attack and defend. Almost all of her illusionsfocused on flora.

Yuhi can simultaneously immerse several opponents into the world of illusions. It can also dispel someone else's genjutsu and read information from the enemy's subconscious. To merge with an object, Kurenai uses her hair to cover her body, she is able to pass through material objects, hide in them or ambush.

Kurenai has a good reaction, and she can quickly avoid the attack of the enemy, in addition to this, she has a sealing technique.

Yuhi Kurenai belongs to minor characters and rarely appears in the story. Little information about her favorite and least favorite things. Only in one of the encyclopedias that came out in addition to the manga, it is indicated that she does not like cakes, and her favorite phrase is "Glory is like a violet that blooms one day."

Although she is an elite shinobi warrior who must act according to the rules, Yuhi is still a woman and in her free time takes everything from life, if not more. And even after suffering such heavy losses, she calmly and confidently looks to the future.
