The Sannin are widely regarded for their great skill and power, each on the level of a [[Kage]] in their own right. Their name is known in countries all across the world. Tsunade is the only surviving sannin, Jiraiya and Orochimaru having been killed by [[Pain]] and [[Sasuke]]/[[Itachi]] respectively.<section end=summary /> From what can be seen, Pain plans to kill Tsunade as well.

Team Hiruzen was a Genin team led by Hiruzen Sarutobi. During the Great Ninja War, Team Sarutobi were the only Konoha ninja to survive Hanzo's first attack. Out of respect for their power, Hanzo rewarded them the title of Sannin, and told them the only price for their lives would be to use the title themsleves.

Tsunade is now the last living member, as Jiraiya was murdered by Pain, Orochimaru by Sasuke, and Sarutobi by Orochimaru.
