Fourth Division

The of the Allied Shinobi Forces, also known as the, is led by Gaara.

History
Upon its formation, the First Division is mobilised to the rocky and barren terrain near the southern edge of the Land of Lightning. Gaara scatters a significant quantity of sensing sand in front of his unit which allowed him to detect an approaching, revived Mū, the Second Tsuchikage. He later uses his Third Eye to observe Mū, only to see Mū summon the Second Mizukage, the Third Raikage and his father, the Fourth Kazekage.

Knowing four Kage will be difficult to defeat, headquarters sends Ōnoki to provide assistance, particularly in dealing with Mū. Headquarters also restructures the Fourth Division to prepare for the inevitable encounter with the Kage as well as other battles taking place: the Fourth Division will start to retreat while forming into a sideways chevron (">") formation. They are then expected to keep the opposition at bay, until the top part of their arrangement can break away and provide assistance to the overwhelmed First Division, with them only returning accompanied by further aid once these enemies are defeated. Shikamaru Nara successfully leads part of their forces to the First Division, leaving the rest of the Fourth Division to wait for the Kage to make a move.
