According to this arc, Kakashi became an Anbu at 13 and from this episode it's stated that Kakashi was 23 since he spent about ten years in the Anbu and he had appointed to be jonin leader at this time. Did he require three years to select his team? It's really a long time :(

Probably, he said that he rejected genin teams since he was not satisfied with their teamwork.
