History[]
The Kunoichi-gumi first appear before Young Noble Junior, who orders them to aid the Shuten Douji Brothers in destroying the Kakurangers. Using Youjutsu Magic, the Kunoichi-gumi misdirect the Kakurangers into the Wandering Forest, and after luring away Nekomaru with catnip, they begin to hunt the Kakurangers with the Doji Brothers, separating them through smokescreens and continued attacks so they can take them down individually. They capture Seikai with ribbons and seemingly tie him to a tree, however when Tsuruhime goes to free him, she is captured in a net and drops her Doron Changer, while "Seikai" is revealed to be Suiren in disguise. Saizou battles the Doji Brothers on his own, but despite getting the upper-hand, Sakura and Ayame appear and threaten to kill Tsuruhime if Saizou does not drop his weapons. He reluctantly does so, and is badly beaten, leading to his and Tsuruhime's capture.
After capturing three of the Kakurangers, they pursue Jiraiya and Sasuke along with the Doji Brothers. Separating the two with a smokescreen, the Doji Brothers badly wound Jiraiya while the Kunoichi-gumi hold Sasuke off and beat him as well, before Jiraiya begs Sasuke to run. He does so, but are followed by the female ninjas, who blow him off a bridge with their Falling Cherry Blossoms attack. TV STORY-Ep. 15: Argh! Awesome Guys
