Yota

was a young child from an unknown clan with mysterious powers of weather manipulation.

Background
Yota was born into a travelling clan, who lived by selling weather, which they had the ability to manipulate. Born frail, he died at a young age due to natural causes. He was later reincarnated by Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi as a test subject for perfecting the Impure World Reincarnation and was sent to Konohagakure afterwards for Orochimaru's purposes.

Five years before the start of the series, he met Chōji Akimichi, Shikamaru Nara, and Ino Yamanaka when they came looking for Chōji's kunai set, which after being thrown pinned Yota to a tree. The crying Yota caused a downpour that ultimately collapsed the tree and freed him. Soon afterwards, Yota introduced himself to the young Konoha children as they decide not to tell the adults about him as there was already tension between Konohagakure and the other nations. They instead give Yota shelter in a makeshift tree-house and bring him food at a regular basis. Eventually, after meeting Kiba Inuzuka, his dog Akamaru, and Sakura Haruno whom he took a liking to, Yota started acting bold from appearing in the village to playing a small prank on Sasuke Uchiha.

Around this time, Yota met Naruto Uzumaki while he was whistling and became friends with him while asking him to teach him how to whistle. However, despite having a good time with his new friends, things changed when Yota decided to hide with Naruto during a game of hide and seek. Mistaking Naruto telling him to hide elsewhere as a sign of dislike, Yota ran off while causing his presence to be known to the Konoha ANBU as they capture him for interrogation with Naruto and the others unable to stop them.

Having hatched of an escape plan, Naruto and the others help Yota escape from the ANBU's clutches until they reached a very steep river. The group tries to cross it but Naruto, Shikamaru, and Chōji were washed away by the strong current only to be saved by Yota, who failed to resurface after the incident. They later find Yota seemingly on the verge of death. He says his final goodbyes to the group and erases their memories of their encounter with him.

Not wanting his friends to be put on danger, Yota leaves Konohagakure and lives out the remainder of his manipulation in loneliness.

Personality
Yota was a naive, carefree, and fun-loving boy. He would occasionally break out in singing about the weather and habitually nickname people based on their most noticeable trait. He was also very sensitive, easily being made sad and would ultimately break out in tears. He also appeared to have a very big appetite.

Appearance
Yota was a small and skinny boy with tan skin and a constant blush. He had spiky waist-length, brown hair with short bangs hanging over his eyes and chin-length strands framing both sides of his face. He had green eyes with no pupils. He also had a wide smile with pronounced canines. He wore a dull green robe with a dull brown cloak, wooden geta, and bandages on his head and wrists, with a purple headband.

Later, while being under the effects of Impure World Reincarnation, he obtained grey sclerae.

Weather Manipulation
While born very frail and having an innocent nature, Yota possessed the unusual ability to manipulate the weather. A natural power of his clan, Yota was acknowledged by his clan for having especially great control over manipulating the weather compared to all of them. His abilities were great enough that he was chosen to use the Impure World Reincarnation on as a test subject and later a war weapon by Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi respectively. Regardless of the natural atmosphere he was in, he could manifest great winds, rain, lightning, and so on to suit his need. He could produce powerful water trenches to block enemy attacks or pin them down, condensed bubbles to strike targets, and even direct his lightning. His powers also seemed to be directly linked to his current emotional nature. His rain also appeared able to drain people's chakra. When whistling, Yota can also produce powerful gusts of wind, which can be focused into slicing blades and strong twisters.

Other Skills
Yota also possesses other unique abilities such as the ability to manipulate the memories of his targets and the ability to telepathically contact, and connect the minds of, those he chooses much like the Yamanaka Clan Telepathy. While submerged, Yota has demonstrated the ability to manipulate the water surrounding him to force his targets away from him, or increase his speed within it.

Yota has also showed to be very nimble, easily dodging a young Chōji's attack after calling him fat.

Shinobi World War Arc
Among the reincarnated ninja under Kabuto's control, Yota is deployed during the second day of the war when a faction of the White Zetsu Army attack. Confronted by Team Asuma as they recognised him, Yota soon began attacking them with powerful rain storms. At that time, clones of Yota were elsewhere with one taken to the Allied Shinobi Forces' medical camps, where he met Sakura and began producing snow that turned into an intense snowstorm while another assaulted Kiba and Akamaru with lightning bolts. Naruto also confronted another Yota in the forest who attacks him with sharp gusts of wind. Having concluded that the other Yota are White Zetsu in disguise, Naruto tells the others to deal with them as he faces the real Yota. Yota via telepathy tells his friends his origins and final words and that they don't need to feel guilty. With this, Yota uses his own technique against himself happily declaring that in death he had finally found friends.
