In the course of their investigation, they locate [[Akatsuki]]'s base of operations, which they scout for the [[Allied Shinobi Forces]]. == History == === Invasion of Pain Arc === [[File:First Infiltration and Reconnaissance Party.png|thumb|left|The first team.]] The team initially consists of Anko, [[Yamato]], and [[Sai]]. One of Sai's [[ink clone]]s is able to locate Kabuto. Before they can try to apprehend him, Yamato is forced to abandon the mission when he senses that [[Naruto Uzumaki]] has reached a [[Naruto Uzumaki's Jinchūriki Forms|six-tailed form]].<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 439, pages 13-15</ref> Later, Sai returns to Konoha due to unknown reasons. === Confining the Jinchūriki Arc === [[File:Reconnaissance Party.png|thumb|right|The new members of the team.]] Anko and the new team eventually locate several [[Takigakure]] ninja that Kabuto has killed. Anko recognises that Kabuto is testing his control over [[Orochimaru]]'s remains, but becomes suspicious about why Kabuto is leaving bodies behind.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 489, page 16</ref> They continue to follow Kabuto's trail, which leads them to the boundaries of the [[Mountains' Graveyard]]. [[Tokuma]] scouts the area with his [[Byakugan]] and finds Kabuto talking with [[Tobi]]. Believing this to be Akatsuki's headquarters, they immediately send news of their discovery to Konoha. However, because Kabuto appears to have allied with Akatsuki, Anko cannot understand why he would betray Akatsuki by leading them there.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 490, pages 7-9</ref> === Shinobi World War Arc === With the outbreak of the [[Fourth Shinobi World War]], investigating Akatsuki becomes a top priority. To that end, [[Muta Aburame]] is sent to replace one member of the team. Muta uses the worms native to the area to gather intel about the Mountains' Graveyard for him. The worms report back that there are a [[White Zetsu Army|huge number of living beings]] residing below the surface, which Tokuma confirms with his Byakugan.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 515, pages 5-6</ref> Soon afterwards several other [[Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation|shinobi]] begin to leave the base, so Anko instructs her team to retreat and send what they've learned to the [[Allied Shinobi Forces]] while she investigates the hideout. She is found by Kabuto and, despite her best efforts, is captured. While the rest of the team is retreating, Tokuma notices that their presence has been detected by Akatsuki's pursuing [[Surprise Attack and Diversion Platoon]]. He volunteers to stay behind while Muta and [[Ranka]] try to escape.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 516, pages 2-9</ref> When it becomes obvious to Muta that they will not be able to elude capture, he has his [[Parasitic Destruction Insect Technique|insects]] take the intel the team has gathered to the Allies, using his [[Insect Jamming Technique]] to buy time. The [[Surprise Attack Division]] later stumbles across Muta. As he is in obvious need of medical attention, [[Zaji]] approaches Muta, unaware that he has been captured and [[Puppet Performance: Skilful Achievement with a Human Body|forced to become]] a [[Explosive Clay|booby trap]]. The rest of the Surprise Attack Division notices in time to shield themselves and get Zaji out of the way before Muta blows up. They are unable to grieve over Muta, as Tokuma and Ranka - also being controlled - are used by [[Sasori]] to attack them.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 517, pages 3-16</ref> [[Omoi]] is able to [[Cloud-Style Reverse Beheading|release them]] and their wounds are then healed by [[Kiri (ninja)|Kiri]].<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 518, pages 2-9</ref> == Trivia == * Anko has been observed in teams tracking down Kabuto on three separate occasions, with different respective members each time. However, it is likely the team did not actually become the Infiltration and Reconnaissance Party until its most recent incarnation. * In the anime, reinforcements are sent to Anko and Sai's location. They relieve Sai of his duties and send him back to Konoha. This restaffing is not seen in the manga. == References == <references/> [[es:Escuadrón de Reconocimiento e Infiltración]] Summary: Minor edit Follow this page Cancel
