Team Guy is a team led by Might Guy and was formed a year before the other main Konoha teams of the series. They specialise in close-quarters combat with all of its members using some sort of physical attacks. Guy waited a year before entering them in the Chūnin Exams, though none of his apprentices were promoted at that time.

Later, between the events of Parts I and II, Lee and Tenten became chūnin while Neji surpassed his team-mates and rose to the ranks of jōnin. Despite becoming more busy, Neji still goes on missions with his team. Along with the other members of the Konoha 11, Team Guy had decided to kill Sasuke Uchiha in order to prevent war between Konoha and Kumogakure, but were persuaded by Naruto Uzumaki that he would deal with Sasuke alone. During the events of the Fourth Shinobi World War, Neji was among those killed in the line of duty with only three members of Team Guy remaining.

Trivia

The Springtime of Youth wiki has an article about this topic: Team Guy

• Team Guy is notable for having a more Chinese theme to them: Might Guy and Rock Lee utilising martial arts with both characters greatly resembling Bruce Lee, Neji's Gentle Fist fighting style based on baguazhang, and Tenten's attire and fighting style having a Chinese theme.
• In Naruto SD: Rock Lee no Seishun Full-Power Ninden and Naruto: Shippūden episode 377, Team Guy was referred to as Team Three (第3班, 第三班, Daisanhan). Whether this is canon or not is unknown.
