Lightning Group

The Lightning Group is a group of five missing-nin with kekkei genkai from various villages.

Background
The group was founded after Fūshin, a missing-nin from the Land of Water, escaped from En Oyashiro, taking Chino, Karyū, and two others with him. They became known as the Lightning Group after helping the villagers of the Bamboo Village by stealing money and valuables from the rich and giving it to the poor villagers. In return the group was given food and shelter.

Kirigakure frequently employed the Lightning Group during Yagura's reign. However, it decided to eliminate the group in order to increase the relationship with the daimyō. The group escaped from an assassination attempt but was betrayed by the villagers it helped out of fear of retaliation from Kirigakure. The Lightning Group dissolved after the death of two unnamed members and Fūshin, Chino, and Karyū parting ways.

Trivia

 * In the novel, Sasuke Shinden: Book of Sunrise, after the group disbanded Karyū founded the Dark Thunder Group.
