Team Ganryū

Team Ganryū was a team led by Ganryū ten years prior to the formation of the Allied Shinobi Forces. With the assistance of Iwagakure, they were sent on a mission to retrieve a document taken by Kumogakure from Kirigakure. However, when the document was retrieved, the Iwagakure shinobi betrayed the Kiri team and killed Junsai and Suiren, where the latter sacrificed herself to save Ganryū. This incident would become known as the Tragedy of Yosuga Pass which began the hostilities between the two nations.

Trivia

 * A defining trait of this team was their uniform, which consisted of a customised flak jacket (which were similar to those worn by Iwagakure in design, but were coloured slate grey) and a jade-green bangle worn on the right forearm.
 * Ganryū would in later years amass a small group of Kirigakure shinobi whom also felt the same hatred towards Iwagakure-nin and attack the shinobi from Iwagakure where they could.
