Team Shigure
CharacterTeam Shigure was a skilled genin cell from Amegakure that entered the Chunin Exams under a leader of the same name. Known for their umbrella weapons and oxygen tanks, the group's promising run ended abruptly when they crossed paths with Gaara during the survival stage.
Overview
Hailing from the rain-soaked Hidden Rain, this genin unit was regarded as a talented bunch and answered to a ninja called Shigure. Every fighter on the squad carried an umbrella as a weapon and strapped on an oxygen tank as part of their standard gear.
Role
The three joined the multi-village Chunin Exams and reached the second phase, where survival hinged on seizing scrolls from rival teams. Fate handed them a disastrous draw: they ran into the trio of siblings from the Hidden Sand. Mistaking the encounter for an easy target, they picked a fight with the wrong opponent.
