Here’s the Bad Luck that the Naruto Era Genin Team Experienced
So what bad luck did the genin team of Naruto’s generation suffer? If you are curious and want to know, you can see the full discussion below.
1. Team 7, Sasuke becomes a runaway ninja
The first genin team’s bad luck was experienced by team 7. As we know team 7 consists of Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura and Kakashi being the Jonin of the guide. After the Chunin exams were over and after Sasuke met Itachi again.
Sasuke decided to leave Konoha and study with Orochimaru to gain more power. Because of his decision, he became a runaway ninja, so for many years Team 7 was incomplete.
Although Sai and Yamato were part of Team 7, the core members of Team 7 were incomplete. But in the end Sasuke was willing to return to Konoha, after sealing Kaguya and a rematch against Naruto.
2. Team 8, Kurenai Retire Early
The genin team’s next bad luck was experienced by team 8. For those of you who have forgotten, this team of 8 consists of Kiba, Shino, Hinata and Kurenai as the supervising Jonin. When compared to the other genin teams, this team of 8 is still better.
The problem is that Team 8 disbanded because Kurenai retired early, the reason why Kurenai retired was because she was already Asuma’s wife and was pregnant. Of course Kurenai didn’t want to take any more risks, especially after getting the news that Asuma died while fighting Akatsuki.
3. Team 10, Asuma Dead
The next bad luck of the genin team was experienced by team 8. So this Naruto 8 generation team contains Shikamaru, Choji, Ino and Asuma as the supervising Jonin. As we mentioned in the previous point.
When fighting Akatsuki members, specifically against Hidan and Kakuzu, Asuma died due to the effects of Hidan’s technique. Of course, Asuma’s death was a huge blow to his colleagues, to Kurenai and to Team 10.
4. Team Guy, Neji Dead and Guy Paralyzed
The last genin team’s bad luck was experienced by Guy’s team. The team, which focuses more on Taijutsu, includes Neji, Rock Lee, Tenten and Guy as its Jonin. The team’s misfortune happened during the fourth shinobi world war.
When the war happened, Neji had to die to protect Hinata and Naruto from Obito or Juubi attacks. As for Guy, he became paralyzed because he used the Eighth Gate technique to face Madara.
Thus the discussion about the bad luck experienced by the Naruto era genin team. After reading this article, which team do you think has the saddest fate?
