Nadare Roga is a Yukigakure ninja and the right hand of Doto Kazahana, serving alongside Fubuki Kakuyoku and Mizore Fuyukuma. Proud and heavily reliant on his Chakra Armour, he wields a learned form of Ice Release, and years after helping seize power he faced Kakashi Hatake a second time.
Small diagonal purple marks sit beneath each of Nadare's teal, pupilless eyes, and thick purple dots stand in for eyebrows. A happuri-style forehead protector frames his face, and his long purple hair is bound in a ponytail that trails down his back, with one thin strand hanging over the right side of his face.
Arrogance colored Nadare, enough that he christened one of his own techniques after himself, though the name did fit it well. He leaned so heavily on his Chakra Armour that he let his taijutsu training lapse, a gap that eventually undid him. He needled Kakashi about fleeing their earlier meeting yet still admired the man's cunning, and toward Doto Kazahana he was deferential, quick to apologize for any failure and rush to fix it.
A decade before the film's plot, Nadare took part in toppling Sosetsu Kazahana on the orders of Doto, the daimyo's brother, and briefly crossed blades with Kakashi during the coup. As Doto's apparent second, he was a capable shinobi, competent enough in taijutsu to trade short exchanges with Kakashi though he lost a drawn-out fight. His Ice Release differed from the Yuki clan's inherited bloodline. Rather than creating ice from chakra, he manipulated the snow and frost already around him, shaping frozen creatures to batter foes or to freeze opposing water techniques.
When the two men met again years later, his Chakra Armour let him counter Kakashi's Lightning Cutter, but Kakashi caught him in midair and drove him headfirst into the rocks below, breaking his neck and ending his life.

We ranked the six most popular women of Naruto from worst to first, and our number one is going to start a fight. The official poll got it wrong....

The transformation everyone knows, the follow-up question nobody would touch. Why we made a smooth R&B track about the golden glow Dragon Ball never talks about....
Nadare Roga is a Yukigakure ninja who serves as the right hand of Doto Kazahana, fighting alongside teammates Fubuki Kakuyoku and Mizore Fuyukuma.
Nadare Roga works directly under Doto Kazahana, helping him seize power from Sosetsu Kazahana a decade before the film's events, and remains deferential and quick to apologize for any failure toward his master.
Unlike the Yuki clan's inherited bloodline, Nadare Roga manipulates existing snow and frost rather than creating ice from chakra, shaping frozen creatures to attack foes or freeze their water techniques.
When Nadare Roga faced Kakashi Hatake again years after their first clash, his Chakra Armour let him counter the Lightning Cutter, but Kakashi caught him in midair and drove him headfirst into the rocks below, breaking his neck.
Nadare Roga is arrogant, even naming one of his own techniques after himself, and he leaned so heavily on his Chakra Armour that his taijutsu training lapsed, a weakness that ultimately cost him.
