Hantai Uzumaki

"Shippū-kun, for once in your life, get up and do something!"

- Hantai to Shippū

Hantai Uzumaki (うずまきはんたい Uzumaki Hantai) is Genin Shinobi and a member of the scattered Uzumaki Clan that settled in Kirigakure. She is the partner of Shippū Uzumaki.

Appearance
Hantai has the appearance of a young girl with long, dark red hair (the Uzumaki Clan trademark) that she keeps in two ponytails between which she wears a pale hat. She wears a dark dress, long, dark boots that reach above her knees, and strange gloves on her hands. Shippū remarks that her outfit often looks like a maid's. She does not wear a Hitai-ate (額当て Forehead Protecor).

Personality
Hantai is a free-spoken, cheeky young girl. She is hyperactive and very impatient, which does not mix well with Shippū's laid back attitude. She loves to fight, and has constantly been reprimanded by various jōnin around Kirigakure for picking unnecessary fights with chūnin of the village. While she has a mind of her own, she enjoys being with Shippū, stating that the goals he has are her own goals as well, which makes her goal the restoration of her clan and Uzushiogakure. It has been hinted that she's in love with Shippū, as she always acts much kinder around him, until he starts to act lazy.
