Batta

is a kunoichi from Kumogakure.

Personality
Batta is a blunt and self-absorbed individual, interested only in her own personal gain, extending help to others only when it benefits her, leveraging and exploiting their own unfortunate situations as it suits her. Even when taken captive by Ōga, she questioned and complained about her situation in an annoyed tone. She is also quite suspicious, readily questioning Ōga when she deemed his explanation of what happened to her lacking. At the same time, self-serving as she is, she is not without shame, as upon taking an innocent life to save herself, she was visibly horrified at her actions.

Appearance
Batta is a fairly tall young girl of slender frame with tanned complexion and messy red hair framing her face and green eyes. She wears a white forehead protector, a white hoodie down to her navel with a white skirt, and black leggings.

Abilities
Batta is proficient in using Wind Release, allowing her to conjure a powerful gust of wind in the surrounding area, allowing to boost herself or others to higher altitudes.

Labyrinth Game Arc
Batta and the other passengers of a Thunder Train were taken captive by Ōga, who claimed they had survived an accident. Batta remembered no accident and remained suspicious of him. He explained he would put them through a series of experiments to test their ability to avoid death. During the first experiment, involving a crumbling platform, instead of immediately jumping to safety, she exploited Fugō, who she perceived to be weak, convincing him to hire her for safety in exchange for the money she believed him to have in a briefcase he was holding on to tightly. When he agreed to hire her, she used her Wind Release to boost herself and him onto a safe platform. Namua warned her that her strong jutsu would further destabilise the crumbling platform, but she paid no mind to it. Safe, she waited for the experiment to end, noting there were still 14 survivors before being allowed back in the room they woke up at for rest.

While waiting for the next test Rokuro realised that the Kusa-nin was actually a spy for Ōga. As the man denied it, Rokuro then unleashed his technique on the man, demanding the Kusa-nin reveal himself. Fearing for his life, the man begged Ōga for help, proving Rokuro's suspicions to be true. Ōga appeared indifferently and watched as the man was killed. He then presented the survivors with the remaining tests. Rokuro chose the Light test. As everyone was sent to a dark room, Ōga presented them with each with a candle. He explained that everyone's candle at the start of the test was linked to their life and that if the candle went out, they would die. Their journey led them through a watery pipeline. While Boruto insisted they work together, Batta ignored him and moved on with her client. After clearing water stage, they found themselves struggling through a desert-like incinerator. For the final stage, everyone had to enter one of two elevators. Soon, it was realised that the elevators were going to slow for the candles to last. As it was made clear their only way to survive was use someone else's candle to extend their own time, Batta found herself hesitating to take two of the passengers' candles, getting prodded by Fugō to do her job. Ultimately, he killed the two passengers, horrifed by her actions to survive. Once everyone reached the top, Batta was suprised to see that everyone in Boruto's group survived by unite their candles into one, extending the group's time.
