is a young kunoichi of the Fuma clan. In search for her older cousin Arashi, she was first seen with her ski mask (which also doubled as her hat) over her face and fighting Kamikiri, Kagero, and Jigumo. When she did locate the lair, she ended up in a rope trap where she persuaded the three to let her help in exchange for seeing Arashi. They managed to pull off a fake battle where Sakura tended to her wounds. After another attack from Kamikiri, Kagero, and Jigumo, she helped Naruto Uzumaki, Jiraiya, and Sakura Haruno in their search to find Orochimaru's lair in the Land of the Rice Fields. She almost betrayed them to the three Fuma clan members that were working for Orochimaru. They end up double-crossing her as it turned out that the Naruto, Jiraiya, and Sakura that drank the tainted tea were the results of Substitution Jutsu. After the trio's defeat, Jiraiya convinced her to become neutral after he prevented her suicide for her failure to Orochimaru. Later, she saves Naruto from Kagero's (who was disguised as Kabuto) heart connecting technique by giving Sakura a seal that will break the connection upon being wrapped around her kunai. When she met Arashi, she saw what had become of her cousin she decided to help Naruto and Sakura in defeating him. After the incident, she decided to join forces with the Hanzaki and the remaining members of the Fuma clan to rebuild the clan's former glory.
