The of the Allied Shinobi Forces. Also known as the.

History
The Third Division advanced ahead of the others, until it united with the Surprise Attack Division, in time to counter a party from Akatsuki consisting of Haku, Zabuza, Gari of Iwagakure and Pakura of Sunagakure. The division quickly clashes with the latter, but many are slaughtered by Gari and Pakura before they can even react. Just as they have a strategy in mind, Kabuto summons the previous generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist to overwhelm Kakashi and his forces. The resurrected shinobi then begin to lay waste on the division, further thinning their numbers. With casualties mounting, Kakashi comes up with a plan to deactivate the Hidden Mist Technique used by Zabuza but when he gets close enough to attack him, Kabuto uses Haku as a human shield, mirroring the events back at their first encounter.
