Team Guy

Team Guy was formed a year before the other primary Konoha teams; Guy wanted to wait a year before entering them in the Chūnin Exams. Team Guy specializes in close-quarters combat, all of its members using some sort of physical attacks. Team Guy is notable for having a more Chinese theme to them: Neji's fighting style comes from the baguazhang; Lee's character greatly resembles Bruce Lee; Tenten's fashion and fighting style stereotypes the Chinese theme.

Although Neji is a Jōnin in Part II, he still goes on missions with Team Guy (though he did not accompany them in the Anime-exclusive Three-Tailed Beast arc).

Along with the other members of the Konoha 11, Team Guy has decided to kill Sasuke Uchiha in order to prevent war between Konoha and Kumogakure.

Missions

 * Rescue Gaara
 * Rank: A-Rank (S-rank in the anime)
 * Status: Success

At the start of Part II, Team Guy is sent to help aid Team Kakashi with saving Gaara from Akatsuki. To gain entrance into the Akatsuki lair, Team Guy was forced to fight copies of themselves. In the end, they succeeded and Gaara was saved.
