Gotta

was a member, and seemingly the leader of the Iburi clan.

Background
As a member of the Iburi clan, Gotta lived in hiding with the rest of his clan until Orochimaru discovered them. Using the cursed seal to stabilise their abilities, he manipulated the clan into giving him their children for the purposes of his experiments. He now seemingly heads the clan in the absence of either Orochimaru or Danzō. One day, Orochimaru's experiments were discovered by Konohagakure, forcing him to abandon the village. The Iburi clan learned of this from one of Danzō's followers, "Kinoe". The clan vowed to help Orochimaru escape. Meanwhile, the youngest member of the clan, Yukimi, believed Kinoe was her lost brother Tenzō who went to Orochimaru as a test subject.

When a Konoha ANBU, Kakashi Hatake, found the cave, Gotta quickly subdued him. Kinoe was able to convince Gotta to let him live to be interrogated. Not fully trusting Kinoe, Gotta spied on Kinoe and discovered that his real mission was also to capture Orochimaru. While he and the rest of the clan attempted to kill Kinoe, Yukimi saved Kinoe along with Kakashi. Gotta soon found Kakashi and pursued him, venturing out into outside world. Soon afterwards, the wind picked up and Gotta was mortally wounded from his exposure while in smoke form. With his dying breath, he told Kakashi that Yukimi was important to Orochimaru as only her blood could transfer the clan's power to another.

Later, as Yukimi's body began to destabilise, the spirit of Gotta and the others acted together with Kinoe's Wood Release to fully stabilise Yukimi and save her life.

Personality
Gotta appears to be very loyal to Orochimaru for saving his clan, willing to conceal him despite being a fugitive from Konohagakure and willing to kill any pursuer.

Appearance
Gotta has short black hair and dons a short, two-parts moustache. He wears a simple and raggy, grey vest, dark grey pants, and sandals.

Abilities
Gotta, like the rest of his clan, has the ability to transform into a living smoke that can still interact physically with other objects, such as picking up scrolls. While in smoke form, he could enter a person's body, controlling their entire being as an extension of himself or cause great pain to, possibly kill, the target. He was shown very capable in taijutsu, being able to fight on par with a high-ranking ANBU and famous prodigy like Kakashi, He was also physically strong, being able to lift a man in one arm.
