Among the Five Great Shinobi Villages, the shinobi most skilled at killing were found in Kirigakure.
Within Kirigakure, the shinobi most skilled at killing were in the Anbu.
And within the Anbu, the most feared unit was the Hunter-nin Squad!

But when it came to dealing with enemies, there was no fundamental difference between the two!
An act like the Tsuchigumo Clan's betrayal at such a critical
