Batta

is a kunoichi from Kumogakure.

Background
Batta came from a small island that was bought by research developers. Soon after, she and the rest of the citizens were driven out and left homeless. Batta became determined to buy back the island.

Personality
Batta is a blunt and self-absorbed individual, interested only in her own personal gain, extending help to others only when it benefits her, leveraging and exploiting their own unfortunate situations as it suits her. Even when taken captive by Ōga, she questioned and complained about her situation in an annoyed tone. She is also quite suspicious, readily questioning Ōga when she deemed his explanation of what happened to her lacking.

However, this selfish attitude stems from the loss of her home, viewing people with wealth and power as not caring about people of less privilege. At the same time, her selfishness is not without limit, as she was distressed at having to kill innocent civilians to save herself and Fugō, visibly shaken afterwards. Batta is also shown to be a very knowledgeable and perceptive girl, understanding the nature of a construct's stability.

Appearance
Batta is a fairly tall young girl of slender frame with tanned complexion and messy red hair framing her face and green eyes. She wears a white forehead protector, a white hoodie down to her navel with a white skirt, and black leggings.

Abilities
Batta is proficient in using Wind Release, allowing her to conjure a powerful gust of wind in the surrounding area, allowing to boost herself or others to higher altitudes. She is also able to determine the weak points in a structure by placing her hands on and sending her chakra through it.

Labyrinth Game Arc
Batta and the other passengers of a Thunder Train were taken captive by Ōga, who claimed they had survived an accident. Batta remembered no accident and remained suspicious of him. He explained he would put them through a series of experiments to test their ability to avoid death. During the first experiment, involving a crumbling platform, instead of immediately jumping to safety, she exploited Fugō, who she perceived to be weak, convincing him to hire her for safety in exchange for the money she believed him to have in a briefcase he was holding on to tightly. When he agreed to hire her, she used her Wind Release to boost herself and him onto a safe platform. Namua warned her that her strong jutsu would further destabilise the crumbling platform, but she paid no mind to it. Safe, she waited for the experiment to end, noting there were still 14 survivors before being allowed back in the room they woke up at for rest.

While waiting for the next experiment to begin, she continued to dismiss Boruto's suggestions of cooperation. When Ōga began it and explained the rules of how the candles they received were connected to their lives, Batta quickly determined it was possible to claim someone else's candle. During a water-filled portion of the experiment, she went on ahead of the group that decided to work together, along Fugō and Rokuro. She was interested when she heard commotion behind them, and offered to carry Fugō's briefcase so he could hold his lantern with both hands, which he refused. Crossing the next area, she had to wait until there were enough people to ride an elevator. However, the elevator was slow-moving, and everyone's candles wouldn't last the ride, so Fugō ordered her to claim two civilians' candles from them. Shaken as she left the elevator, she was surprised when no one on the other elevator died, having all combined their candles into a long, shared candle.

As Batta spent her time in the main room thinking about her actions, Yatsume tried to comfort her, who quickly rejected the sympathy. Trying to lighten the mood, Yatsume asked everyone what their goals were if they escaped. Batta claimed she simply wanted to be a big island all for herself. When Ōga returned to begin the next experiment, the "Collapse" test was selected. The group was teleported to another room. Soon, they found the ceiling begin to slowly descend on them. A button was then pressed revealing a few chambers for people to squeeze into to escape being crushed. Fugō urged Batta to knock Yatsume aside for one of the chambers. Batta voiced her disgust at Fugō's indifference at destroying other people's lives, revealing the truth about her background and desire for money. As Batta was about to push Yatsume away to save herself, Boruto ultimately convinced her that they can escape by working together and breaking through the floor. Batta scanned the floor and found its weak point, letting Boruto break through to save everyone. As everyone returned to the main room to rest, Batta spoke to Boruto. She revealed to him a working communicator that she stole from Kiseru Gankubi, suspecting him of being another spy
