Three-Man Death Squad

The Three-Man a Death Squad is a team of three Jōnin who are considered to be Kage level shinobi. The trio that make up this team are Densetsu Uchiha, Akuhei Iwao and Kaoru Shin'ya. Due to the nature of the missions this squad was chosen to spearhead, it was absolutely necessary that only three very capable ninja were its' members.

Formation
While rumblings of war brought the Five Kage to a forced truce, another movement was also attracting the attention of the Kage. The movements of an ancient sect called the Brotherhood, whose activities had become more brazen and bold.

Conducting two simultaneous attacks, the Brotherhood had attempted to destabilise allegiances between the Great Nations while also retrieving an artefact precious to them. Launching a joint raid, one large group invaded Kumogakure and retrieved the artefact, while another smaller group infiltrated the weakened Konohagakure and attempted to assassinate the Hokage, Tsunade.

While the plan at Kumogakure went smoothly, the Brotherhood was almost thwarted by the efforts of Kazuo Uchiha who fought two of their main members, but was eventually defeated! leading to the theft of the stone. At Konohagakure, the assassins were noticed by Densetsu and Hitomi Sarutobi, who immediately split into two and engaged the infiltrators. Without much effort, the duo apprehended most and killed some of the attackers quickly.
