In the [[Kakashi Gaiden]], which was set during the [[Third Shinobi World War]], the team went to [[Kusagakure]] to destroy [[Kannabi Bridge]] to cut off supplies for [[Iwagakure]] ninja. Rin was captured by Iwagakure ninja during the mission. Kakashi and Obito rescued her but Obito was crushed by a [[Earth Release: Rock Lodging Destruction|cave-in]] caused by the Iwagakure ninja [[Kakkō]]. Obito gave Kakashi the [[Sharingan]] from his left eye and tells Rin and Kakashi to flee, before the [[Earth Release: Tearing Earth Turning Palm|second cave-in]] seemingly killed him with both Rin and Kakashi escaping to safety while being left grief-stricken by Obito's death.

During the [[Third Shinobi World War]], Team Minato was assigned to destroy the [[Kannabi Bridge]] in [[Kusagakure]] in order to cut off [[Iwagakure]]'s supply line in its war with Konoha. Kakashi, recently promoted to [[jōnin]], was given leadership of the mission while Minato assisted the war effort elsewhere. Rin was captured by Iwa-nin during the course of the mission and Kakashi and Obito successfully rescued her. However, their escape was impeded by a [[Earth Release: Rock Lodging Destruction|cave-in]] and Obito's body was crushed by the falling boulders, rendering him unable to move. With other Iwa forces approaching, Obito gave his left [[Sharingan]] to Kakashi as a gift and then bade him to escape with Rin. They did so and Minato arrived in time to help fight off the Iwa-nin, but it was too late for them to save Obito. Minato helped them destroy the bridge before they returned to Konoha to mourn his loss.
However, in reality, Obito was saved by [[Madara Uchiha]] and was recuperating for an unknown period of time while hoping that he would be able to return home to his village despite Madara telling Obito that the injuries Obito had sustained would ensure that Obito would never become a fully-fledged shinobi ever again.
 
   
  +
During another mission during the War - one where Minato was again away from his students - Rin was kidnapped by [[Kirigakure]] and made the [[jinchūriki]] of the [[Three-Tails]] so that she could be used to destroy Konoha after she was inevitably rescued. When Kakashi finally did rescue her, she informed him of this and tried to convince him to kill her in order to protect the village. Kakashi refused and focused instead on fighting off the pursuing Kiri forces. Rin leapt in front of him during one of these attacks, causing her to die by Kakashi's [[Chidori]]. Kakashi passed out from the ordeal and the remaining Kiri forces were all ultimately slaughtered by the watching and still-living Obito, who had watched Rin die at Kakashi's hand.
Some time later, Rin was captured and made the host of the [[Three-Tails]]. Knowing of her true purpose yet unable to kill herself, Rin eventually sacrificed herself by impaling herself on one of Kakashi's Lighting Cutter attacks which ultimately cost her her life and let Kakashi and Obito devastated. While Kakashi passed out, Obito went on a rampage and viciously slaughtered all the Blood Mist ninja with the events turning Obito into a disillusioned shell who soon became hellbent on creating a World of Dreams.

Some time later, Minato would sacrifice his own life to seal away the [[Nine-Tailed Demon Fox]], who was released on Konoha by the masked man who was Obito in disguise. After Minato's death, Kakashi believed for a long time that he was the sole survivor of Team Minato.

Obito, upon his actual death, even meets with Rin before he enters the [[Pure Land]], and from her words of encouragement Obito's spirit briefly returns to the living plane to render assistance to Kakashi one final time.

However, during [[Fourth Shinobi World War]], Kakashi was left stunned at the relevation that Obito, still alive, wa Tobi's true identify, who he faced off many times before. After being [[Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation|reincarnated]] by [[Orochimaru]], Minato arrived at the battlefield and soon learnt the truth that his former student had been alive the whole time while realizing his student's role in the [[Nine-Tails' Attack on Konoha]] with Minato regretting what had happened, silently stating that if he'd realized that the masked man was Obito, then things would have been different.
 
 
When Obito, the [[Ten-Tails]]' [[jinchūriki]] was defeated, Minato managed to stops Kakashi, who only wanted to take the finishing blow, from killing his other student. The three then talked about the past, their regrets over Rin's death and how everything had turned out. Near the conclusion of the war, Obito sacrificed himself to save Naruto from a killing blow much to everyone's horror and shock. Using his [[Kamui]] and some of the Six Paths' power he stole from Madara, Obito's soul returned and temporarily merged itself into Kakashi, letting the jōnin use his powers his powers to help [[Team 7]] defeat [[Kaguya Ōtsutsuki]]. Upon the war's conclusion, both Minato and Obito's souls moved on to the [[Pure World]], leaving Kakashi as the team's sole survivor.

Team Minato was a team led by Minato Namikaze and composed of Kakashi Hatake, Obito Uchiha, and Rin Nohara.

History

In the anime, Minato gave his students the bell test after the team's formation in order to test their abilities. The team later participated in a Chūnin Exams held in Konoha, but only Kakashi was successfully promoted to chūnin at that time.

During the Third Shinobi World War, Team Minato was assigned to destroy the Kannabi Bridge in Kusagakure in order to cut off Iwagakure's supply line in its war with Konoha. Kakashi, recently promoted to jōnin, was given leadership of the mission while Minato assisted the war effort elsewhere. Rin was captured by Iwa-nin during the course of the mission and Kakashi and Obito successfully rescued her. However, their escape was impeded by a cave-in and Obito's body was crushed by the falling boulders, rendering him unable to move. With other Iwa forces approaching, Obito gave his left Sharingan to Kakashi as a gift and then bade him to escape with Rin. They did so and Minato arrived in time to help fight off the Iwa-nin, but it was too late for them to save Obito. Minato helped them destroy the bridge before they returned to Konoha to mourn his loss.

During another mission during the War - one where Minato was again away from his students - Rin was kidnapped by Kirigakure and made the jinchūriki of the Three-Tails so that she could be used to destroy Konoha after she was inevitably rescued. When Kakashi finally did rescue her, she informed him of this and tried to convince him to kill her in order to protect the village. Kakashi refused and focused instead on fighting off the pursuing Kiri forces. Rin leapt in front of him during one of these attacks, causing her to die by Kakashi's Chidori. Kakashi passed out from the ordeal and the remaining Kiri forces were all ultimately slaughtered by the watching and still-living Obito, who had watched Rin die at Kakashi's hand.

Minato stops Kakashi

The remaining members of Team Minato during the Fourth Shinobi World War.

With Rin dead, Obito reportedly sharing the same fate, Minato becoming Hokage (and later dying himself), and Kakashi at some point entering the Anbu, Team Minato ceased to be. In the years that follow, Obito becomes determined to reform the team under happier circumstances using the Infinite Tsukuyomi, a determination that leads to the Fourth Shinobi World War. He has a change of heart towards the end of the War, but Team Minato is still reborn in a sense, with Obito, Kakashi, and a reincarnated Minato joining forces to save the world from Madara Uchiha and later Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. Obito, upon his actual death, even meets with Rin before he enters the Pure Land, and from her words of encouragement Obito's spirit briefly returns to the living plane to render assistance to Kakashi one final time.

Trivia

  • The team makes a cameo before their actual introduction in chapter 122 and Naruto episode 72 during a flashback of the Third Hokage, and on the cover of chapter 16.
  • Kakashi noted many times that the current team he looks after shares similar dynamics to his childhood group due to the fact that Naruto and Obito both wished to become Hokage while both Kakashi and Naruto had a long-standing rivalry with Obito and Sasuke as well. The resemblance is furthered with a photograph of Team Minato being nearly identical to the photograph of Team 7.
