Team 7's early missions were all D-rank, which Naruto believed they are over-qualified for. Unlike all previous genin teams, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura pass the test. As with all the previous genin teams he was put in charge of, Kakashi gives them a bell test in order to determine if they give the proper importance to teamwork.

Kakashi was selected to lead them in order to keep an eye on Naruto, Nine-Tails' jinchūriki and, in the anime, to help Sasuke cope with life after the Uchiha Clan Downfall, and as well to develop his Sharingan. Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura were organised into a team following their graduation from the Academy in order to balance out their talents: Naruto, the worst student in his class, would benefit from Sakura's intelligence and Sasuke's proficiency with ninjutsu Sakura would benefit from her more battle-capable teammates Sasuke would benefit from being forced to work with others. Following Yamato and Sai joining the team, the group went by Team Yamato during the former's leadership. Two-and-a-half years after Sasuke Uchiha left the village, Kakashi filled out paperwork to form Team Kakashi, with his former pupils Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno now being treated as equals alongside their teacher. Team 7 was a Konohagakure team formed under the leadership of Kakashi Hatake. Scorch Release: Halo Hurricane Jet Black Arrow Style Zero.Naruto the Movie: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow
