History

A decade before the Allied Shinobi Forces came together, Junsai served on Ganryū's team, which joined forces with a squad from Iwagakure to recover a scroll that Kumogakure ninja had seized. Once the document was back in their hands, the Iwagakure shinobi turned on their partners, cutting down both Junsai and Suiren. That treachery, later known as the Tragedy of Yosuga Pass, opened the hostilities that would divide Kirigakure and Iwagakure for years to come.
