Of the four ninja from the Aburame Clan, one was delighted and three were devastated, forming an extremely stark contrast.
The three who had "lost out," in particular, were so overcome with grief that tears and snot streamed down their faces.

At most, it would only be a "Jinchūriki squad"!
Although the latter sounded terrifyingly powerful too...
A Jinchūriki squad, and a squad of Perfect Jinchuriki who could fully control their tailed beast chakra at that.
