The Konoha 11 (木ノ葉の11人, Konoha no jūichinin, English TV: Hidden Leaf 11) is the collective nickname of four Konoha genin teams, led by Kakashi Hatake, Asuma Sarutobi, Kurenai Yūhi and Might Guy, minus Sasuke Uchiha.

They are teamed together in various combinations in the anime for missions important to the village that cannot be assigned to more experienced ninja. During the Chūnin Exams, despite being fresh out the Academy, Team 7, 8, and 10 were capable of competing for the rank of chūnin, earning them the moniker the Rookie Nine (新人9人, Rūkī Nain), with Team Guy formed the year before. The name "Konoha 11" stems from the fact that because of Sasuke's defection, there are only eleven members left of the original teams.

Konoha 11 speaks on how to deal with Sasuke.

With the exception of Naruto Uzumaki (due to not yet having a chance to retake the exams), all of the members have been promoted to chūnin during the time-skip, with Neji Hyūga even becoming a jōnin.

After the Invasion of Pain, ten of the Konoha 11 were prepared to kill Sasuke in order to prevent him or his death at the hands of other villages from initiating any potential war, but were later persuaded by Naruto that he alone would deal with Sasuke.

Later, during the Fourth Shinobi World War, the members of the Konoha 11 and Sai, are seen rushing towards where Naruto, Kakashi Hatake, Might Guy and Killer B are engaged in battle against Tobi and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path in order to provide assistance to the men.

Trivia

  • In Japanese, the English term Rookie Nine is also used. It is still written in kanji, though. These kanji would usually be pronounced as Shinjin Kyūnin.
  • Despite the group canonically appearing in both manga and anime, this name was only given in the latter.
