The Kinkaku Force (金角部隊, Kinkaku Butai) was a special team of twenty highly skilled shinobi from Kumogakure during the First Shinobi World War.
History[]
During the First Shinobi World War, the team tracked down -Konohagakure’s Escort Unit, and surrounded them on the battlefield.[1] The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, acted as a decoy for his comrades to escape and faced off against the Kinkaku Force with every technique he possessed. Despite being an elite force, Tobirama managed to eliminate sixteen out of the twenty elite shinobi single-handedly before he was killed by Kinkaku and Ginkaku, the subsequent Gold and Silver Brothers. Only Kinkaku, Ginkaku, E, and A (the future Third Raikage) were the sole survivors of the fight and the group would be disbanded shortly after returning to Kumo.
Trivia[]
