As fate would have it, the Kazekage later arranges a marriage his youngest son and Fuyu. And this is before Sunagakure attacks Konohagakure during the Chūnin Selection Exams, which nearly kills her brother and her Leaf friends. Of course, it isn't just her luck that's gone bad -- Ichiki Kuran, Fuyu's rival and bestie, becomes an orphan after the ordeal! Things manage to only get worse as she gets older, too.
