The Protagonist Takes the Stage

Land of Rain, within the ruins of a village. After the Shimura Clan chunin left with three Ninja, only fifteen Konoha Ninja remained here. Six Konoha Ninja were hidden within the shattered houses. They were the members of each squad who specialized in large-scale Fire Release and Lightning Release ninjutsu, as well as this squad's heavy firepower. No matter where they were or what time it was, even while resting, they remained under the protection of the other Ninja.
