Uzumaki Suzuki is a ninja born in a country of samurai. She is experiencing the ninja world at last.

Background

+Chapter 1: Birth

Uzumaki Suzuki was born to Uzumaki Koi and Uzumaki Nishin in the Land of Iron. Attempting to flee from the chaos and bloodshed of the Clan Wars, Nishin and his wife travelled to the nation of samurai, only to find themselves taken prisoner. Due to the strong sense of neutrality that the samurai held to in regard to outside nations and their lack of desire to become involved in the affairs of ninja or to have ninja become involved in their own nation's affairs, there was a great deal of talk of simply sending them out of the country with orders never to return. However, Koi was pregnant and had only barely survived the journey through the frozen mountains and harsh wilderness of the Iron Country.
The visiting wife of a samurai captain took the matter into her own hands and did what the men-folk had been too awkward and unsure of themselves to do. She moved to provide medical treatment for the frost-bitten couple… And just in time as Koi went into labor a few days later and wouldn't have lived that long without help. Over 18 hours later, at 6 a.m., April 5th, -20 B.F., Uzumaki Suzuki was born. Just like her mother, no mere cold weather could do her in! …Even after a blizzard knocked out the limited power that the samurai had available in their outpost, making things quite cold indeed.

+Chapter 2: Away

Suzuki was raised in the Land of Iron for three whole years, but her very existence was a great pressure upon the mind of the commander of the outpost. He could not hide her forever, and his loyalty prevented him from seriously trying. After much deliberation and against the advice of his wife, he reported the event to the capital. The General of all Samurai Forces had both a reply and a contingent of samurai sent to relieve the captain of his command and to prepare the way for a representative of the General himself to interview the family of foreigners.
After finding out that the Uzumaki family had only come to the Land of Iron to escape the wars raging in other lands, the representative came to a decision. Regardless of the intent of the outsiders, allowing their presence within the country could invite more refugees — and potentially intruders or the troubling wars between Clans — into the relative stability of this land without ninja. They would have to be deported. However, after a three-years old Suzuki unwittingly softened the advisor's heart to a degree by clinging to his pant leg, the deportment was to a remote village on the very outskirts of the Land of Iron, tucked away in the mountains and ostensibly part of a 'No Man's Land' where neither ninja nor samurai held sway. The family was supplied and even escorted to this village and it is there that Suzuki grew up.

+Chapter 3: Growth

Koi and Nishin may have been members of the Uzumaki Clan, but their training as ninja was minimal. They knew only enough to survive the arduous trek to the Land of Iron originally, but they still tried to teach what they could to Suzuki. The lack of a proper grounding in Chakra usage, knowledge of Sealing Techniques, or a real understanding of what 'ninja' were meant that Suzuki's potential to one day become a full ninja were severely impacted. She just lacked the basic understanding of what she was doing, and her attempts to build upon her existing skills without that understanding meant that her techniques diverged from where a ninja's normally would, and went in a different direction entirely.
Nishin served as one of the town's militia members and also aided in copying books. Texts were not entirely common in either that time or that place, with the ravages of the centuries of warfare leaving public education at an all-time low. However, Nishin worked with symbols on a daily basis before and after leaving his country. True, they were Seals, but he knew how to read and write and he applied this knowledge to helping to raise the level of education that his town possessed.
Koi, meanwhile, was a very strong-willed, and strong-bodied woman, with an emphasis in her ninja arts for Explosive Tags. She worked in the mines alongside the men of the town, though they originally protested. When Koi showed she could work just as hard as any of them and approximately five-times longer, they decided maybe she was okay after all.

+Chapter 4: Harder

The iron pulled from the mines was gathered, processed, smelted into bars, and then taken by samurai troops to manufactories where they were forged into weapons. Suzuki was very impressed by the efficiency of the samurai, their imposing armor, and their strength. She decided she would become one.
This was not really allowed, as both a foreigner and a woman, but she did her best to gain permission regardless. As a teenager, Suzuki travelled throughout the region her town was located in, but also made secret forays into the frozen mountains of the Land of Iron itself, in an attempt to seek out instructors. She traded many things for her lessons, ranging from what money she managed to earn doing odd-jobs, to a period of indentured servitude, helping out with person-specific problems, and she even traded her body once (though it was a man she already admired and had a decent relationship with).
She trained in the use of the daisho — katana and wakizashi — as well as a spear, the wearing of armor, hand to hand combat, horse-riding, and other skills. Whenever she could get professional instruction or anything close to such, she took the offer or made a deal. When she had to, she would train on her own or challenge warriors she came across — samurai or otherwise. In the end, however, she lacked a certain something to her skills. She was as fit and healthy as ever, but she remembered what she was taught by her parents years ago, and returned to that town to ask them more about Sealing Techniques…

+Chapter 5: Abroad

Suzuki eventually devised a plan to make her skills her own. She had already been turned down repeatedly when she attempted to enlist as a samurai, but she had been offered a long-term 'mercenary contract' due to the excellent reputation she had within the Land of Iron and with the samurai forces as a whole. Thus, she wanted to be able to contend with the mysterious 'ninja' she expected to encounter in the 'outside world'. So she learned all that her parents knew of a lost art known as 'gun-smithing'. All they had was a few scraps of ancient paper that showed pictures of 'guns'. Muskets and similar were what Suzuki read of, but there was no explanation of how they functioned, or even what they really did beyond the basics. 'Ranged weapons that propelled a metal ball at an opponent through an explosive force.'
Uzumaki Suzuki connected the dots to the best of her ability, and decided that these must be ancient anti-ninja weapons that employed low-power Explosive Tags to arm those without ninja skills with the ability to face off against those Chakra-wielding superhumans who were running around and tearing things up. She spent another five years from that point working to alter her blacksmithing skills to produce 'firearms', though she would never learn how far off-base she was. Gunpowder, blackpowder, true 'bullets', and similar aspects of guns were a lost technology and would never really be recovered.
But now Suzuki had a reasonable facsimile of a gun and a way to replace the crucial bits of firearms with her knowledge of Sealing Techniques. Perhaps her Ninjutsu skills were kind of crappy, but if she was fortunate she wouldn't need them except for producing the explosive force she needed to launch metal at people. Confident in her skills, she accepted a contract from the Land of Iron's 'Extended-Range Operations' office to go represent the interests of the samurai abroad… In the lands of shinobi.

Appearance

Suzuki is an average-height woman for a member of the Uzumaki Clan, about 5'4", with red-brown hair in an enormous 'side-ponytail' that is so bushy and thick and LONG that it almost looks like a cape or some sort of head-ornament rather than part of her head. Her hair is ANKLE-LENGTH. She has pale eyes that seem to waver between really-light cyan or some sort of silver-grey, and they are set beneath sharp, angled, red-brown eyebrows. Her face is still young, but her expression tends to show some degree of maturity and self-control. Suzuki has a powerful, athletic build, with shoulders broadened by much physical training, and flared hips of an appropriate width for a woman of her age. She is very busty, but tends not to make any attempt to either emphasize or conceal this fact. She is a warrior, primarily, and her manner of dress and how she carries herself shows that she tends to think of herself in that context more than as a woman.

Suzuki tends to wear a highly ornate and seemingly mis-matched, asymmetrical suit of samurai armor, with half of a skull-looking face plate, and a forehead protector (hita-ite) without any symbol on the plate to mark her as belonging to a Village. She carries a pair of swords at her left hip, one a wakizashi and the other a katana, and appears to have an odd weapon that may only be vaguely recognizable by the most ardent scholars as a 'musket'. The concept of a gun or knowledge that they once existed or that this odd-looking tool is modelled after them is unlikely to be something most people are aware of.
