 This article is about a group of villains in Sekaininjasen Jiraiya.

Special Ninja Team (特殊忍者群 Tokushu Ninjakun?): An elite group of five ninjas chosen by the Sorcerers Clan in Episode 16. Each member is named after a different element: Fire (火 Hi?), Water (水 Mizu?), Land (土 Tsuchi?), Wood (木 Ki?) and Wind (風 Kaze?). Each member has a skill which utilizes the elements they're named after: Hi can engulfed his whole body in flames and throw fireballs; Mizu can swim in high speed in water and use high water pressure in his attacks; Ki can turn himself into wood and ram himself into the enemy; Tsuchi can launch attacks from underground; and Kaze can rush attack in high-speed by surrounding his body in a tornado, as well control the wind itself. Kaze is afraid of the sound of raging winds due to the fact that he lost his parents on a night with strong winds. He studied his art with the hopes of overcoming his fear, which proves unsuccessful when the group fought Jiraiya.
Notes[]
- The Special Ninja Team are somewhat reminiscent of Super Sentai teams, which are known for operating in teams of five and, with certain teams, using the power of the elements
. They are especically reminiscent of the Samurai Sentai Shinkenger, sharing their respective elements with the five-man Shinkenger team: Shinken Red (Fire), Shinken Blue (Water), Shinken Pink (Wind), Shinken Green (Tree), Shinken Yellow (Land). While not color-coded, they are distinguished by sporting the kanji of their respective element on their masks, similar to the Shinkengers whose element kanji appear as the visor on their helmets.
