The Allied Shinobi Forces is a coalition between the collective military might of the hidden villages of the shinobi nations of the Lands of Lightning, Water, Earth, Wind, and Fire, and the lone samurai nation of the Land of Iron.
Story[]
The purpose of this alliance is to stand up together against the threat of the Akatsuki organisation and the tailed beasts in the Fourth Shinobi World War. Because of the deceitful actions of the Sixth Hokage Candidate Danzō Shimura, the other Kage asked Kakashi Hatake about Konohagakure's entrance into the alliance as they deemed him the most suitable candidate to assume the office. However, before Kakashi was made Hokage, Tsunade woke up from her coma, and resumed her post. After the summit, the five daimyō agreed to give power to their Hidden Villages, making the Shinobi Allied Forces official.
The coalition was formed after Tobi's declaration of war after the five Kage and the head of the Land of Iron, Mifune, unanimously refused to hand over Killer Bee and Naruto Uzumaki, the jinchūriki of the Eight-Tails and the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox respectively at the Kage Summit. When Tobi departed, the Kage and Mifune discussed their plans on dealing with Tobi and the tailed beasts and later Mifune suggested that the Fourth Raikage be the Supreme Leader (大権, Taiken) of the alliance to which the other Kage agreed.
The coalition's primary objective was to defend the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails' jinchūriki from Akatsuki. The two jinchūriki, once caught, will complete Tobi's Eye of the Moon Plan. Therefore, the coalition planned to first find the two jinchūriki before Akatsuki finds them and keep them safe and away from the battlefield if necessary. Beyond that, their duty is to put up a united front against Akatsuki's army.
Teams[]
First Division[]
The First Division of Allied Shinobi Force was led by Fourth Raikage’s right hand/bodyguard, Darui. This first battalion was responsible for handling mid-range combat, which is why it was mostly comprised of shinobis who were proficient in Bukijutsu (weapon-based techniques). Moreover, the true potential of the new generation of Ino-Shika-Cho was seen during this alliance while they fought their own teacher, Asuma Sarutobi. The First Division destroyed most of the Zetsu’s, and also faced the notorious legendary shinobis of Kumogakure, The Gold and Silver Brothers.
Second Division[]
The Second Division of the Allied Shinobi Force was led by Kitsuchi. The Division had two powerful Taijutsu prodigies like Neji and Hinata Hyūga, who displayed the greatest extent of their Gentle Fist Art. The Second Division swept the last remaining White Zetsu when Kurotsuchi and Kitsuchi unearthed thousands of them, who were moving underground.
Third Division[]
The Third Division of Allied Shinobi Forces was led by Kakashi Hatake. The Division was meant to support both short and mid-range divisions, which is why the battalion included shinobis with inhuman physical prowess like Might Guy, Rock Lee, and Sakura Haruno. Whilst the Third Division was going to assist the Surprise Attack Division, they crossed paths with the reincarnated Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Mist along with Haku, Pakura, and Gari. The Division successfully defeated and captured all the reincarnated shinobis they fought with.
Fourth Division[]
The Fourth Division, led by Gaara, mostly comprised of Shinobis who were capable of fighting their enemies from a distance. According to the proxy leader of this Division, Shikamaru Nara, the team was mostly responsible for aiding other Divisions by providing them support and defense against enemy attacks.
Fifth Division[]
The Fifth Division of the Allied Shinobi Forces were titled Special Battle Division, as their responsibility was just to provide support to the Divisions at a disadvantage. The team was mostly comprised of shinobis with Hiden techniques. The Division was led by Land of Iron’s General, Mifune.
