This new Tsubaki character reminds me of Ryogi but without being brainwashed.

I dont think she will join the Team. She and her master probably visit Konoha, since the samurai are also part of the Union, for a meeting with the Hokage. While her master is speaking to Naruto she will run into Team Hanabi. She sees them train starts to mock their weakness, which upsets the Cat Girl. So they fight, but eventually they find mutual respect for each other. And once she and her master leave will never see or hear from eachother ever again. Also it would be unusual for a SAMURAI to join a NINJA cell.
