In the world ofNaruto , children rail from a vernal eld to become powerful shinobi   — but this study does n’t occur in a vacancy . The characters in theNarutofranchise all end up on ninja team that ride out with them into maturity .   consort to the rules within the existence , three - man , or in rare cases , four - man squads are optimum .

Three child and one sensei make a unit that train together after Academy graduation .   Those official teams created for training are n’t the only one , though . Some missions ask very specific types of shinobi , creating whole character combining .   There are twelve of dissimilar teams betweenNaruto’smanga , picture ,   and the anime arcs that act as “ filler . ”   Though many manga fan abhor the makeweight , they do allow for some compelling backstory and team dynamics when unexpected character are thrown together . While many of the skilful - knownNarutoteams are incredibly strong , some decidedly have a better succeeder rate than others .

Updated by Amanda Bruce on November 10 , 2021 : founder thatNarutois structure around the formation of ninja squad and their growth , there are a huge number of teams featured in the serial publication . Not every team lasts for more than a single episode or arc , but many of them do . All of theNarutoteams have wad of naked as a jaybird power thanks to their skills and preparation , but it ’s the teamwork that can actually make or come apart a team . If a squad ca n’t get beyond their difference to run together , this ultimately leads to failure .

Itachi Uchiha

Team Ebisu

Team Ebisu   is the weakest for one simple reason :   they are the only   one that   fans do n’t see in action at law once they ’ve achieved some serious skills .   Ebisu is the shinobi educate this particular squad , and he ’s got his hands full . Konohamaru , Moegi , and Udon are the youngest shinobi in training seen in the early days of the franchise , so they ’re certainly rambunctious , particularly with Konohamaru idolizing Naruto .

This group of friend play together before they became an official ninja team , so their teamwork is middling unanimous . In price of power , though , fan do n’t know just what they can do until they ’ve already go away their freestanding way as adults inBoruto .

The Leftover Team

When Tsunade was Hokage , trained shinobi were in short supply . There was always a mission that needed attention , but without chunin ( or higher ) around to complete it , she was forced to broadcast genin .    Her “ Leftover Team ” consisted of Naruto , Hinata , and Kiba in makeweight arcs in the anime .

Individually , they were muscular . Naruto had raw index , Hinata had the byakugan , and Kiba had his ninja click Akamaru to action complicated move . Their problem was n’t in exponent but in their teamwork .   BecauseHinata had a crush on Naruto , she would often defer to him , while Kiba was the antonym . Protective of Hinata , he butt heads with Naruto . It made many of their mission a failure .

Amaru’s Escort Team

Though theNarutomovies are n’t moot part of the canon by many fans , they render some very interesting team - ups .   InNaruto Shippuden the Movie : Bonds , a new team was put together to escort a shinobi in training nominate Amaru .   The team consisted of Naruto , Sakura , and Hinata . In hypothesis , this team should have been great since they had all progressed in their training at that point .

unluckily , over the course of the mission , Sakura faint in the face of a beast that fed on souls , unable to hold out against the darkness . Likewise , Hinata ended up capture with the villagers they were supposed to be helping !

Orochimaru Search Team 3

During theNaruto Shippudenanime , the Orochimaru Search Team is born . The team was comprised of three freestanding building block to investigate one of Orochimaru ’s bases . Team 3 include Sakura , Ino , and Hinata , and was head by Shizune .

It ’s a rare chance to get to see Shizune out in the field , but this was n’t a fighting squad . Instead , Orochimaru Search Team 3 was made for sealing . Their job was to use their very exact chakra control to varnish a three - tailed beast .   While the group does involve four women who have immense restraint of their chakra , they break at the one task assigned to them on the mission .

The Sound Genin

During Naruto ’s chunin exams , Orochimaru hid some of his henchmen in homely spate . In fact , the chemical group from the Hidden Sound Village was comprised of them , and   Orochimaru mask himself as their sensei . Dosu guide his teammates Zaku and Kin in the exams , and they all had ability inspired by sound .

The triplet was told to eliminate Sasuke during the exam , but with his power increased thanks to a curse mark , Sasuke nearly destroy them all . Their hauteur got them into more fuss when Dosu challenged Gaara as well .    Gaara destroyed Dosu , effectively ending the team . Zaku and Kin cling with Orochimaru for a while , though , before stop up as sacrifices for his reincarnation jutsu .

Team Anko

One mission during an anime filler arc had three genin who were usually on separateNarutoteams unite under former test monitor Anko . It made for one unmanageable dynamic .   Naruto , Shino , and Ino could n’t be more unlike in their ninja styles . Ino and Shino had little patience for Naruto ’s antic .   They were both more focused on the mission at hand , while Naruto was more focussed on masses they meet along the way .

complicate matters was that the Land of Sea was where Anko last go steady her mentor Orochimaru as a child , and he wipe out a large chunk of her memory . With their squad leader losing focal point , it ’s no wonderment this group had a concentrated time working together .

Team Ino-Shika-Cho

No , this is n’t the Team 10 most fan will readily recognise . alternatively , this is a generation older than Shikamaru ’s team . This version of the batting order is actually Team 10 ’s Father-God . The Ino - Shika - Cho trio is a traditionin the Hidden Leaf Village . Inoichi , Shikaku , and Choza make up the 15th iteration of the team .

They use their family jutsu — head willpower , apparition self-will , and size - changing   — just like the other generations do .   This team earned   their rank because they were responsible for deliver a peace of mind treaty during the Third Shinobi World War . While that charge was successful , when they reunited in the Fourth Shinobi World War , Inoichi and Shikaku lost their lives .

Team 3 (Team Guy)

Despite the enthusiasm of their sensei and their unique abilities , Team Guy just does n’t rank quite as highly as the other shinobi out of the Hidden Leaf Village .   Guy trains Rock Lee to be his own carbon written matter , and they are both certainly some ofthe good script - to - hand fighters inNaruto . Tenten is a weapons expert ; Neji has the Hyuga house byakugan . They all have groovy strengths .

Both Neji and Tenten are smarter than the medium genin they work out with , but Lee tends to fix and escape the bigger picture , much like Naruto .   Though the trio learns to cultivate well together , they find that when just a individual individual is append to their squad , their winner pace drop .    Neji also becomes the only casualty of their generation in the Fourth Shinobi World War .

Team 8 (Team Kurenai)

Shino , Kiba , and Hinata all had very especial skill sets that made it difficult to value them against the distinctive scrap shinobi in the franchise . While Shino specialise in insects , Hinata in her byakugan shape of slew , and Kiba in animalistic power , they were all very unlike .

Their real power lied in reconnaissance mission . Of theNarutosquads , this group developed the most excellent tracking skills . regrettably , they were n’t often employed in that way . Interestingly , their sensei was a genjutsu type shinobi , specializing in hallucinations . None of her educatee were , though ! Would n’t they have benefited from someone who could avail their tracking - relate ability instead ?

Orochimaru Search Team 2

When the Orochimaru Search Team splits into three , two of the group are consider “ fighting teams . ” Team 2 was a fighting squad , but one put in place to make certain those on Team 3 did n’t get interrupted from their waterproofing .   Yamato led Tenten , Lee , and Kiba ( with Akamaru of course ) to fight the members of a group of Orochimaru ’s follower .

In theory , this is a very substantial team . Despite Lee and Tenten not having access code to as many jutsu as the others , they ’re known for never giving up a fighting . as well , Kiba has some telling attacks . alas , the enemy this team is take shape to go up against is able to take them all on at the same time .
