Team Shiore

This was a genin team of Kusagakure who entered the Chūnin exams, but they were killed by Orochimaru prior to the exams. Orochimaru and his men then supplant the team to get access to Sasuke Uchiha. Their bodies were found faceless later by Izumo Kamizuki, Kotetsu Hagane, Mozuku, and Anko Mitarashi.

Trivia

 * The tags on their hats read crime (the bald member), evil (Shiore), and punishment (the masked member)
 * In Naruto the Movie: Blood Prison, the two Kusagakure shinobi in front that transport Naruto Uzumaki to Hōzuki Castle share designs with Shiore's teammates.
 * The identity of the other two who assume their disguises are unknown, however in the anime the Sound Four are shown standing over their corpses, and later are shown taking on other disguises alongside Orochimaru.
 * In Naruto Mobile and Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Blazing, both of Shiore's teammates appear as opponents in the earlier stages.
