He is quite dutiful, even complying with Kae's more childish requests, understanding them as a way of Kae reclaiming lost experiences due to her station.

Abilities
In the past, Batora was a talented jōnin. and remains skilled in Water Release. Kawaki, being responsible for Kae, fully trusted her safety to Batara when he was not around. However, seemingly since retiring as a shinobi, Batora has become rather weak to physical assaults, as he passed out when Kawaki fell on top of him. At the same time, is strong enough to quickly carry a heavy stone statue of the Third Hokage without tiring out of breath.

As the caretaker of Kae, Batora is implied to be a master homemaker, tending to Kae's various needs. He offered the princess to make a cake instead of her, showing confidence in his baking skills. He also has an advanced memory, able to memories the location of various sites in the area. Kawaki, being responsible for Kae, fully entrusted her safety to Batara as a jōnin.

Kawaki & Himawari Academy Arc
Batora was sent to Konohagakure to serve Kae while she enrolled in the village's Academy. After spending a few days at the Academy, Batora asked if she was satisfied, to which she responded that she was and that she made a new friend. When Kae invited her class-mates for a tea party, Batora oversaw the preparation of the sweets and desserts, though Kae insisted on making the cake herself. During a commotion, Kawaki rushed towards Kae and fell on Batora, briefly knocking him unconscious. After recovering, he showed Kawaki and Himawari around the kitchen, explaining where the cake had been stored. After the party, he supervised the cleaning staff.

Days later, when a group of students decided to investigate the Academy's Seven Mysteries, Kae joined them and had Batora fake them with Kawaki's help. When one of the mysteries was seemingly real, they chased a shrouded figure, and eventually discovered they were Shino's insects cleaning the Academy.

Later, Batora accompanied Kae on her shopping trip with Himawari. However, when the friend did not show up, decided to go looking for her. They bumped into Kawaki and explained the situation. When they found Himawari's necklace lost on the street, they grew concerned. They decided to check with Osuka who was last seen with Himawari, with Batora navigating the way. At Osuka's mansion, it was learned that kidnappers abducted Osuka as ransom. Theorising that Himawari was abducted too, they went to Neon for more information, where it was learned about Osuka's strained relationship with her parents and struggle at making friends. After Neon learned of the situation, she used a new function of her drone to locate Osuka's chakra signature. Upon finding the kidnapper's hideout, Kawaki quickly defeated the kidnapping boss. After the police arrived to arrest the kidnappers Osuka reconciled with her mother, having learned that the new drone function was her design to better protect Osuka. The improved spirit of Osuka then invited everyone to enjoy some desert together.
