The Hokage 18

The Hokage 18 or Juuhachi, is a group of 6 teams that consists of 18 Shinsei world ninjas who work directly under the orders of the Hokage and undergo a series of A-rank missions. It is composed of 13 kunoichi and 5 shinobi who all possess different skills, talents and abilities. They were transfered from the Shinsei world to the ninja world in order to learn to not only be prepared for hardships and fighting physically and mentally, but as to grow as people. They are known internationally and formally as the Juuhachi (Literally meaning 18).

The Juuhachi are renown for their special talents and are considered highly skilled and sought after by many shinobi countries. The Juuhachi's skills are easily above ANBU level, but all have chosen to stay below the Jonin level. Sometimes they are compared to the Sannin, though they all claim that they are not be able to defeat them.
