Team Shinki

This chūnin team from Sunagakure consists of Shinki , the adopted child of the Fifth Kazekage Gaara , as well as two other Suna shinobi, Araya and Yodo .

These three participated in the Chūnin Exams held in Konohagakure . The team passes both the first and second exams, during where the team had an encounter with Metal Lee and his team. During the third exam, Araya defeated Inojin Yamanaka , Shinki defeated Chōchō Akimichi , while Yodo, however, was defeated by Shikadai Nara . Araya was then defeated by Sarada Uchiha , and Mitsuki forfeited his match to Shinki. Some time later, all three members were promoted to chūnin .

Three years later, when Suna was invaded by Matsuri , Shinki was consumed by the Claw Grime after he protected his father by sealing him. Following the incident, Yodo was killed in action by Ryū during the mission with Team 7 . After Ryū was defeated, Araya used the Thornsoul to free Shinki.
