This is a team formed upon Orochimaru's orders to capture the Three-Tails. They were chosen from the best of the initial twenty-one prisoners that survived a battle royal, which Guren had organised; sixteen of them tried to rebel afterwards, however, Guren killed them. Guren leads the remaining five and Yūkimaru on a mission to capture the beast. Their efforts are repeatedly interrupted by the shinobi from Konohagakure. After four of the members are killed and Guren realises that Orochimaru has little concern for her, she defects with Yūkimaru and Gozu.
