Sannin

Team Hiruzen was a Genin team led by Hiruzen Sarutobi. When the team was formed, the future Sannin were six years old and Hiruzen was already the Third Hokage. It is unknown when the team broke up: Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade still acted like a team during the Second Shinobi World War. During a battle with Hanzō, the three would come to be known as Konoha's Sannin. The team has many parallels to Team 7.
