The Gang of Four were a quartet of shinobi who served the sorcerer Yomi in Naruto Shippuden the Movie. Setsuna nominally led them beneath Yomi, though the group drew its strength from an injected chakra technique that ultimately proved to be its own undoing.
Appearing in Naruto Shippuden the Movie, the Gang of Four consisted of four shinobi who took their orders from Yomi. Setsuna held the title of leader beneath him. Each fighter wore a distinct trigram on his uniform marking an element: lightning for Setsuna, water for Shizuku, wind for Kusuna, and fire for Gitai.
The group first struck the site where the demon Moryo lay sealed, cutting down its guards with ease thanks to the power boost Yomi granted through his chakra-injection technique. After seizing swathes of territory using Moryo's Ghost Army, Yomi ordered the four to assassinate Shion, the priestess able to reseal the demon. Kusuna, the team's medical-nin, alone could handle the chakra snakes of Yomi's method, so he doled out the special chakra to the others and effectively directed the operation.
Setsuna carried the formal rank of leader, yet Kusuna often gave the orders during the raid on Shion's compound, even filing the report on the target he wrongly believed was dead. The three combatants leaned far too hard on their enhanced chakra, spending it recklessly on trivial matters. Gitai drank the power straight down and blew himself apart when it turned unstable. When the survivors drained themselves trying to flush out Shion, their enemies pounced on that opening and finished the remaining members before they could restock.

We ranked the six most popular women of Naruto from worst to first, and our number one is going to start a fight. The official poll got it wrong....

The transformation everyone knows, the follow-up question nobody would touch. Why we made a smooth R&B track about the golden glow Dragon Ball never talks about....
The Gang of Four were four shinobi who served the sorcerer Yomi in Naruto Shippuden the Movie, with Setsuna serving as their nominal leader. Each fighter wore a trigram representing an element: lightning, water, wind, and fire.
Setsuna held the formal title of leader of the Gang of Four, though Kusuna often gave the orders during their mission against Shion. Both answered ultimately to the sorcerer Yomi.
The Gang of Four each wore a trigram marking a different element: lightning for Setsuna, water for Shizuku, wind for Kusuna, and fire for Gitai.
The Gang of Four were sent by Yomi to assassinate Shion, the priestess who could reseal the demon Moryo. They had already used Yomi's chakra-injection technique to seize territory with the help of Moryo's Ghost Army.
The Gang of Four fell apart after relying too heavily on their enhanced chakra: Gitai drank the power directly and blew himself apart, while the rest were finished off by their enemies after draining themselves trying to flush out Shion.
