History
With the separation of the Great Battle Regiment into five distinct detachments, those in the Fourth Division gather together in a linear formation and begin to converse amongst themselves, where Temari discusses the technicalities that have resulted in Shikamaru Nara becoming the company's proxy commander, much to his chagrin. It is only after Gaara concludes his heartfelt speech about how their army is united under the collective term "shinobi", by divulging his history and relationship with Naruto Uzumaki, does the entirety of the Allied Shinobi Forces finally begin to maneuver into their respective positions in preparation for battle.

During this relocation, the Fourth Division eventually divides itself from the main contingent, settling in amongst the rocky and barren terrain near the southern edge of the Land of Lightning's peninsula. By dispersing a significant quantity of sensing sand before his unit, Gaara is able to detect the concealed presence of an unknown assailant, that even the Sensor Division was unaware of. Continuing to observe this individual from afar as he summons three more resurrected shinobi and their latter conversation, the division is informed that their opponents consist of four former Kage - the Second Tsuchikage, the Second Mizukage, the Third Raikage and the Fourth Kazekage.

Informed of Shikaku Nara's revised strategy that takes these recent developments into consideration, by Inoichi Yamanaka's Intelligence Division, it is intended that 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 support once these enemies are defeated.
