Formation Ino–Shika–Chō

This is a formation used by Team 10 members Shikamaru Nara, Ino Yamanaka, and Chōji Akimichi, designed to bind the opponent. Ino uses her Mind Body Switch Technique to control one of the opponents. Shikamaru binds the opponent with his shadow. Chōji generally provides the offensive with Human Bullet Tank, but can also limit the opponent's movement with Partial Multi-Size Technique. The three's parents (Inoichi, Shikaku, and Chōza), who were also in a team together, use the same formation during the invasion of Konohagakure.
