Genbu Shinobi Trio
CharacterThe Genbu Shinobi Trio is a three-man genin squad from Iwagakure that entered the Chunin Exams held in Konohagakure. Despite looking formidable, the group washed out almost immediately during the exam's opening stage.
Overview
Hailing from Iwagakure, the Genbu Shinobi Trio is a team of three genin who travelled to Konohagakure to take part in the Chunin Exams. Their imposing first impression did not carry them very far.
Role
The squad's run ended in the very first stage when one of them tripped over a tree root and set off a trap laid by Tenten. Their quick elimination prompted the Fourth Tsuchikage to send them back to the start of their training once they returned home. The three do share a cooperation ninjutsu, a formation-style technique with a lengthy formal name, though it was never shown in action.
Notable Members
The trio operates as a unit of three unnamed Iwagakure genin rather than around a single standout figure. Their signature combination technique, Ninja Art: Genbu Winter Wind High King Formation, went unused on screen, leaving their true capabilities largely a mystery.
