Team 13

Team 13 was an attempt by the elders of Konohagakure to recreate the Legendary Sannin. After the death of Kana Asakura, and the subsequent defection of Akira Kokūgo and Itachi Uchiha, the project became infamously known as a complete failure.

Background
Team 13 were a group of child prodigies from Konoha that all graduated the Ninja Academy at the age of 10. Beginning first in their own respective teams, they were hand picked by the village elders to form one elite team.

All three members met as genins, upon learning that they were going to be formed into one team. Under the leadership of Danzō Shimura, they produced good work and much like the Sannin, accomplished many things. However, unlike the Sannin, they all got along and performed efficiently without any disagreements. At first, they were very civil with one another, barely speaking to each other and speaking only when it was necessary. Eventually they became good friends.
