Dotō's Three-Man-Team
CharacterA trio of Snow ninja put on retainer by Dotō Kazahana to kill off the rightful heiress of the Land of Snow. Clad in specialized chakra armor and skilled at bending existing ice to their will, they met their end against Team 7.
Overview
This was a squad of Yukigakure ninja brought under Dotō Kazahana's pay for a single dark purpose, the murder of Koyuki Kazahana, heiress to the Land of Snow. Each of them wore a special piece of Chakra Armour into battle.
Role
Two of the three, Nadare and Fubuki, had mastered Ice Release, a discipline that works by reshaping ice that already exists rather than conjuring it out of nothing. Their armor and their frozen techniques made them formidable, yet all three ultimately fell in combat against Team 7. Years earlier the same group had proven its worth on a far larger job: a decade before, together with the rest of Yukigakure, they answered Dotō's call to spark a rebellion and seize the Land of Snow. With the death of Sōsetsu Kazahana the coup succeeded, though his daughter Koyuki slipped away, a loose end that set the later assassination attempt in motion.
Notable Members
Nadare Rōga headed the team and counted among its Ice Release experts, as did Fubuki. A third member rounded out the trio, all of them equipped with Chakra Armour and loyal to Dotō's cause until their defeat.
