Shirogane Three

The Shirogane Three are a squad of three tied to the Shirogane clan and based within the Land of Wind. Their commander is Ibushi, who directs the cell's efforts. The group appears only in the games, first surfacing in Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles 2, where they serve as the puppet-wielding antagonists standing against Naruto and his allies.

At the heart of the cell's scheme lies a plan to resurrect the Master Puppet and unleash it against the Five Great Shinobi Countries. To power that goal, every member is tasked with seizing one of the Spirit Orbs held by Naruto and his friends. The trio actually pulls off the thefts, though each of them pays for the success with their life. Ibushi's part is to buy time for the revival, deploying his Lizard Puppet to keep opponents occupied while the ritual proceeds.

Ibushi leads the group and stalls Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi with his Lizard Puppet, only to fall to Kakashi in the end. Menō relies on her Insect Drones to claim a Spirit Orb and manages to take it before dying in a clash with Naruto, Gaara, and Kankurō. Gandō uses his Elemental Puppets to grab his own orb, succeeding at the task yet perishing in the fighting like his comrades.
