Team 15

Team 15 is a shinobi team from Konohagakure, led by Hanabi Hyūga, consisting of Sumire Kakei, Wasabi Izuno, and Namida Suzumeno. In the anime, after Sumire resigned from Team 15 to join the Scientific Ninja Weapons Team, she was replaced by Tsubaki Kurogane, making Team 15 the first official shinobi team to include a samurai.

The team participated in the Chūnin Exams, and although they were able to pass the first phase, they were eliminated in the second phase, having had their flag stolen from Team Yurui.

Team 15 temporarily began having declining success rates in their missions after Tsubaki joined. Primarily due to the lack of teamwork between herself, Wasabi and Namida. This later changed when Tsubaki learned not to attempt completing missions with her strength alone. Following Wasabi's chūnin promotion, she was appointed as team captain as Team 15 became a three-person team.

After some encouragement from her team, Tsubaki regained her confidence and defeated him.
