Team Shigeri

This genin team from Kusagakure consisted of Karin, Shigeri and an unnamed male teammate. Her teammates had no issue with using the kunoichi for her healing abilities.

They took part in the Chūnin Exams held in Konoha, progressing to the second stage in the Forest of Death, where they were given an Earth scroll and began the exam from gate 25. Karin was at one point separated from the rest of her team and attacked by a bear, but she was saved by Sasuke Uchiha. The team ultimately failed the second stage.
