Chino Character Guide
Who Is Chino?
Chino is a kunoichi from the Chinoike clan. She was a member of the Lightning Group. Chino is the only child of En Oyashiro and his wife. As members of the Chinoike clan, they lived in the Valley of Hell.
Chino’s Role in Naruto
Though life in the valley had been peaceful for many years, being in constant close proximity eventually caused disagreements between clansmen to erupt into violence; only Oyashiro and Chino survived. Oyashiro regretted his role in the deaths of his clan, especially his wife's, and wished for Chino to grow up to be better than he was. To that end, he took advantage of Chino's young age by concealing his relationship to her, instead telling her that he had her entire family killed so that she would become the last possessor of the Ketsuryūgan, and thus a valuable commodity.
Personality, Abilities, and Story Impact
Oyashiro took Chino from the Valley of Hell and started making a career for himself as an arms dealer. He trained Chino to be a combination of bodyguard and means to resolving "business disputes", forcing her to kill against her wishes. He also entered her in the Coliseum from time to time, where she defeated reigning champ Fūshin during her first match.
For PopRot readers, the useful way to look at Chino is through three angles: what they want, who they are connected to, and how their choices affect the larger Naruto story.
