The average dwellers of Ryūchi Cave, Crush Snakes have formed contracts with shinobi beyond their cave for millennia. While lacking the skill and intelligence of their less-summoned counterparts, they are relatively easy to summon, and certainly don't lack brute strength. While the practice of full Crush Snake brigades left common usage with the espionage and subtlety-heavy era of the Shinobi Organizational System, it was not forgotten entirely. During the Sound and Sand's attack on the Hidden Leaf Village, multiple Crush Snakes were summoned to tear down the Leaf's defensive structures and cause havoc within less important areas, though most were defeated by Jiraiya alone. |
