Team 10 (Asuma)

Team Asuma, also known as Team 10 and the second generation of Ino-Shika-Cho Trio (as each of their fathers were on the same team), was led by Asuma Sarutobi before his death. Out of all the rest of Rookie Nine, Team Asuma had the best teamwork of them all. When Asuma died in a fight with the Akatsuki, the three stayed together under the name "Team 10", albeit without a Jonin leader. However, Tsunade objected to this development, and so Kakashi Hatake stepped forward to take charge of the squad.
