Team Guy

Team Guy was a team led by Might Guy and was formed a year before the other main Konoha teams of the series. They specialise in close-quarters combat with all of its members using some sort of physical attacks . Their coordination therein makes them unmatched in hand-to-hand combat. Guy waited a year before entering them in the Chūnin Exams , though none of his apprentices were promoted at that time.

Between the events of Parts I and II, Rock Lee and Tenten became chūnin while Neji Hyūga surpassed his teammates and rose to the ranks of jōnin . Despite becoming more busy, Neji still goes on missions with his team, all of them honing their skills to improve their speed. The three later join the rest of the Konoha 11 in deciding to personally kill Sasuke Uchiha in order to prevent war between Konoha and Kumogakure , but were persuaded by Naruto Uzumaki that he would deal with Sasuke alone.

During the events of the Fourth Shinobi World War , Neji was among those killed in the line of duty, and later Guy suffered a permanent injury which forced him to retire after the end of the war, leaving only Lee and Tenten remaining in active duty.

## Trivia [ ]

- Team 3 is notable for having a more Chinese theme to them: Might Guy and Rock Lee utilising martial arts with both characters greatly resembling Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan , Neji's Gentle Fist fighting style based on baguazhang , and Tenten's attire and fighting style having a Chinese theme.
- Team 3 is the only team from the Konoha 11 to have never been temporarily led by Kakashi Hatake . Although, in Rock Lee's Springtime of Youth Full Power Ninja Chronicles , Kakashi temporarily replaces Guy due to an illness.
- When Iruka is assigning Naruto 's graduating class to teams, number 3 is not on his list, possibly alluding to the fact they had been assigned the previous year.
