Team Kakashi, also known as Team 7, is a Genin team led by Kakashi Hatake. This team consists of members using a variety of ninjutsu, genjutsu and taijutsu tactics and Kakashi can be an example to prove that none of the members are limited to a fighting style. Sasuke, who at first excelled in ninjutsu and taijutsu, grew fond of using genjutsu. Sakura, who was good with genjutsu tactics, now sports in taijutsu and medical ninjutsu. Naruto remained confident in his ninjutsu and taijutsu techniques. It should be noted that each of the members from Team Kakashi are capable of being even stronger than the Sannin as stated by a number of characters throughout the story. From a series of events, Team Kakashi was fragmented when Sasuke Uchiha defected from Konohagakure to join Orochimaru, though the remaining members stayed together as Team Kakashi almost two years after the defection. This team resembles Team Minato because there is Kakashi, an Uchiha, a medical-nin and the Fourth Hokage's son. Yet also Team 7 also resembles the Sannin, since Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke share traits with and are each respectively trained by Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru. Due to being one member short Sai was put into Team Kakashi as Sasuke's replacement.

Missions
Stated in chronological order:

Lost Pet "Tora" Search Mission
Team 7 was hired by the Feudal Lord's wife to find her lost cat. This early mission only served to frustrate Naruto. His complaints after this mission caused the Third Hokage to give the team their first C-Rank mission. Konohamaru recieved the same mission on Team Ebisu and after the mission's success Konohamaru saw the Feudal Lord's wife hugging the cat and said, "I would run away if I was that cat."

Which prompted Ebisu to go crazy and try to tell Konohamaru to keep his mouth shut
