Sealing Team
CharacterThe Sealing Team, also called the Sealing Corps, was a specialised unit embedded within the Allied Shinobi Forces. Its shinobi existed to neutralise the reanimated fighters the enemy hurled at them during the Fourth Shinobi World War.
Overview
Every division of the Allied Shinobi Forces fielded its own Sealing Team, a group tasked with taking the reincarnated ninja the opposition raised against them out of the fight. Most of these operatives came from Sunagakure and had been trained in the Cloth Binding Technique.
Role
The unit's job unfolded in two stages. First they wrapped and restrained a reanimated target with their binding technique, and then they fixed sealing tags to the restraints. Those seals served a crucial purpose, denying Kabuto Yakushi the chance to reverse-summon a captured fighter back to his control and send it charging into battle a second time.
