Jako's Gang
CharacterJako's Gang was a pack of thieves headed by a man named Jako, on the run with loot they had lifted from the Fire Daimyō's sister. Their haul did not stay in their hands for long once Naruto and Sasuke crossed their path.
Overview
Jako's Gang was a crew of bandits operating under the leadership of Jako. The group made its living through theft, and it appears carrying a cache of valuables that had been taken from the sister of the Fire Daimyō. Little else of their history survives beyond the caper that brought them down.
Role
The gang's part in the story amounts to a single confrontation. While transporting the stolen goods, they ran up against Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, who reclaimed the treasure and defeated the thieves outright. Returning the Daimyō's sister's property marked the end of the group's brief appearance.
