Team Hiruzen was a Genin team led by Hiruzen Sarutobi. During the Great Ninja War, Team Hiruzen were the only Konoha ninja to survive Hanzo's first attack. Out of respect for their power, Hanzo rewarded them the title of Sannin, and told them the only price for their lives would be to use the title themselves.

Tsunade is now the last living member, as Jiraiya was murdered by Pain, Orochimaru by Sasuke (although it is later revealed that he was merely absorbed and still alive then later killed by Itachi ), and Hiruzen by Orochimaru.
