Do you think putting Iwashi in the platoon was just Masashi forgetting about Aoba? because if you go by rank it would make the entire group tokubetsu jonin which makes more sense for an elite guard. Also if you look at there ninja registration numbers it makes way more sense for it to be Aoba. Also all these things would line up a team of Iwashi, Izumo, and Kotetsu with their chunin rank and registration numbers. the only connection Iwashi had to Genma and Raido before this was the one mission in the first half of the series where he is on the team with them and Shizune during the Sasuke retrieval arc. but if one mission is all the connection you needed to have then Aoba would have that as well during the second half during the Kakuzu and Hidan arc. in that arc he teamed up with Raido, Ino, and Choji. It just seems a little strange to me and Aoba just seems far more powerful. Anyway what do you guys think?
