Tenkūgakure Barrier Team

The Tenkūgakure Barrier Team (天空れ結界班, Tenkūgakure Kekkai-Han) is a subdivision of the Tenkūgakure Regulars. It is charged with the erection and maintenance of several types of around the village. At present, the Barrier Team is headed by Yoichi Seto.

Overview
Despite the fact that Tenkūgakure prided itself on its neutrality in global affairs, the village and its leadership were not daft enough to believe that war could not appear on their doorstep. As such, a specialized team of shinobi was created shortly after Tenkūgakure's founding, with the explicit purpose of erecting several types of barriers in and around the village. Initially, the unit was only capable of producing defenses with small degrees of protective capacity, but over time they drastically improved their effectiveness and the variety of effects they can produce. Their crowning achievement is a rather unique form of barrier which "anchors" all within it to the physical plane; thereby eliminating an enemy's ability to utilize space-time ninjutsu of any sort while within the barrier's range.

As a whole, the Barrier Team works alongside the Tenkūgakure ANBU more than any other division. This is due to the fact that the Barrier Team possesses a specific type of barrier which can detect the presence of enemy aggressors, and the ANBU are swift and deadly enough to meet and eliminate these targets.
