Konoha 11
From Narutopedia
|
The Konoha 11 (English TV "Hidden Leaf 11") was the collective nickname of four Konoha Genin teams, led by Kakashi Hatake, Asuma Sarutobi, Kurenai Yuhi and Might Guy. They are teamed together in the anime for missions important to the village that cannot be assigned to more experienced ninja. During the Chunin Exams, despite being fresh out the Academy, Team 7, 8, and 10 were capable of competing for the rank of Chunin. During this time the nine Genin were referred to as the Rookie Nine before Sasuke Uchiha's defection.

[edit] Team Kakashi
Main articles: Team Kakashi, Kakashi Hatake, Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, and Sasuke Uchiha Team Kakashi, also known as Team 7, is a team led by Kakashi Hatake, which was formed after the members became Genin. The members were selected in order to balance out their talents: Naruto, the worst student in his graduating class, would benefit from Sakura's intelligence and Sasuke's proficiency with ninja skills. Sakura would similarly benefit from her more battle-capable teammates, whereas Sasuke would benefit from being forced to work with others. All primarily use some form of ninjutsu.
[edit] Team Kurenai
Main articles: Team Kurenai, Kurenai Yuhi, Hinata Hyuga, Shino Aburame, and Kiba Inuzuka Team Kurenai, also known as Team 8, is led by Kurenai Yuhi. Each member of the team specializes in tracking or finding things: the Hyuga clan's Byakugan; the Aburame clan's bugs; and the Inuzuka clan's dogs. When Kurenai becomes pregnant in Part II, the team is led by Kakashi on some of its missions.
[edit] Team Asuma
Main articles: Team Asuma, Asuma Sarutobi, Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi, and Ino Yamanaka Team Asuma, also known as Team 10, is the second generation Ino-Shika-Cho Trio (their fathers being the original). As such, the three team members are good friends and work well together, although they tend to bicker from time to time. According to Sakura Haruno, Team 7 also has the best teamwork with Team 10.
All three members of Team 10 are skilled at stalling opponents. They were led by Asuma until his death in Part II. Kakashi led them temporarily after that to help them avenge Asuma's death. The team is assumed to still be active, although without a leader.
[edit] Team Guy
Main articles: Team Guy, Might Guy, Rock Lee, Neji Hyuga, and Tenten Team Guy was formed a year before the other primary Konoha teams; Guy wanted to wait a year before entering them in the Chunin Exams. Team Guy specializes in close-quarters combat, all of its members using some sort of physical attacks.
