Saya is a kunoichi from Sunagakure and a teammate of Sana and Mamushi.

Anime debut: Naruto Shipuuden Episode #398

Personality:

Saya is a very arrogant and sadistic kunoichi, revelling in finding new prey; this also extends to her teammates if they displease her. She is also very domineering, making her teammates refer to her as "Lady" (お嬢さま, Ojou-sama) and follow all her orders. She has a strong superiority-complex, believing herself superior to her enemies and refuses to believe herself capable of ever losing. When people challenge that view, she enters a hysterical state, compelled to make the person pay. Saya is also shown to have a very strong attachment to her ninja-puppet and all things she deems cute, her attachment to her puppet extends to the point of masquerading like it for a prolonged period of time.

Abilities: Ninjutsu

Saya uses a unique style of the Puppet Technique. Her puppet is a very simple and small doll. While controlling her puppet in the traditional sense through Chakra Threads, her tactic is not to attack her enemies with her doll, but to gather a sample of the enemies' hair, allowing her to then link her mind with the target with her Puppet Imitation Technique and thereby remotely control the target similar to the Yamanaka clan's secret techniques. Saya is also capable of travelling through the ground and creating sand dolls out of pre-existing sand. Similarly to Kankurou, Saya can switch places with her puppet using the Body Replacement Technique.

Saya, alongside her team, participated in the joint Chuunin Exams.
