Sand Siblings

Kankuro, Gaara, and Temari as they appear at the end of Part I

The Sand Siblings are ninja from the Sunagakure village, and the children of the Fourth Kazekage, the leader of the village.^[132] They come to Konohagakure to participate in the biannual ninja exams, and serve as antagonists in the subsequent invasion of Konohagakure. Due to their interactions with Naruto Uzumaki, they later return as allies of Konohagakure, aiding him in his attempts to retrieve Sasuke Uchiha from Orochimaru's ninja. Kishimoto changed their costumes for their return due to the difficulty in drawing their original attire, as well as to symbolize their new friendship with Konohagakure.^[133]
