Uchiha Tsukime, Naga's former partner, is (and I hate to say this, because it feels unfair to judge and segregate fictional people) basically a plot device, with a dash of characterization to make her plot device status less blatantly obvious. I actually have a whole background worked up for her, which explains her low status within the Uchiha clan, why she ended up running courier missions instead of joining the Military Police, and so on. But none of that was relevant to her role within the story, so none of it got in.

I tried very hard to make Yukiko and Naga feel like they could slide right into the manga. I'm not developing Eiji quite the same way, because "Guardian" is attempting to criticize some things the manga takes for granted, whereas "Apartment Manager" followed the manga and didn't question most of the underpinnings of Konoha and ninja society. So Eiji probably feels like less of a smooth insert into the established world. I'm not thrilled about that, but it made my head hurt to try sliding him in and staying pitch-perfect, so I kind of gave up and wrote him in more of my own style and less of my imitating-Kishimoto style.
