Batta

was a kunoichi from Kumogakure.

Background
Batta was born on a small island whose inhabitants were displaced after it was bought by rich resort developers.

Personality
Batta was 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.

Her selfish attitude stemmed from the loss of her home, which also shaped her belief that wealthy people don't care about those less privileged. To which, she hates being lied to and used, quickly turning on those who do. However, she was distressed at having to kill innocent civilians to save herself and Fugō, visibly shaken afterwards.

Appearance
Batta was 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 was 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. She was also able to find structural weak points by placing her hands on and sending her chakra through it.

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 experiment to begin, she continued to dismiss Boruto's suggestions of cooperation. When Ōga began it and explained the rules of how the candles they received were connected to their lives, Batta quickly determined it was possible to claim someone else's candle. During a water-filled portion of the experiment, she went on ahead of the group that decided to work together, along Fugō and Rokuro. She was interested when she heard commotion behind them, and offered to carry Fugō's briefcase so he could hold his lantern with both hands, which he refused. Crossing the next area, she had to wait until there were enough people to ride an elevator. However, the elevator was slow-moving, and everyone's candles wouldn't last the ride, so Fugō ordered her to claim two civilians' candles from them. Shaken as she left the elevator, she was surprised when no one on the other elevator died, having all combined their candles into a long, shared candle.

Batta struggled with having killed civilians, but rejected Yatsume's attempt to comfort her, also clashing with Shama and Boruto. Kiseru didn't judge her, but warned against trying to sacrifice him, Batta mocking him for showing off his Fire Release in an attempt to intimidate her. Yatsume got everyone to share their dreams, but Batta refused to share hers. She noted Batta's use of "need" instead of "want" when talking about money, so Batta shared she wanted to buy an island. Ōga started the experiment, which had them in a room where the ceiling was triggered to descend on them, switches in the room changing its hazards. She and Fugō argued against pressing the last switch, but it revealed alcoves on the walls. Boruto had allowed the injured Yatsume onto one, so Batta would have to kill her to take her place. She wanted to know the reason behind her death, so Batta confessed to needing money to buy her home back from rich resort developers. Boruto had discovered that the room's floor had a hidden space beneath it, and convinced Batta to help him with it by appealing to her desire against playing into Ōga's hand. She found a structural weak point, allowing Boruto to break through the floor, the extra space helping them all survive. As everyone left, she bumped into Kiseru on her way to Boruto, and shared her suspicion that he was Ōga's subordinate, showing Boruto the working communication device Kiseru had kept hidden.

Batta also noted that Kiseru's backstory of enjoying the sunset in the hot springs of the mountains to the east was impossible because the sunsets are blocked there. As Boruto refused to believe that Kiseru was a spy, Batta remained firm to not trust Kisaru. Upon returning to the main room, the next experiment was the "Sum" test. Everyone was scattered to a canyon with a tag marked from 1 to 8. The goal was to obtain tags with a total of at least 7 to exist the gate before time ran out. Batta's tag was "3". She soon found He was soon found Fugō, determined to continue her job. While walking together, Fugō tripped. As Batta picked up his briefcase, she noticed its light nature. Fugō struggled to get it back, opening it to reveal the contents. Fugō admitted that he worked for a company that was secretly going bankrupt. At the same time, his wife and child her taken hostage as ransom. Fugō hoped to meet up with the kidnappers and threaten them with the poison in his canteen. Furious at being deceived, Batta took Fugō's "2" tag. As he begged for her help, Fugō was stabbed in the back and killed by a kunai. Batta looked up to see the assailant before being struck down herself.
