Team Ameno
CharacterTeam Ameno is a three-member genin squad out of the Sand Village that crosses into the Leaf to compete in the jointly run Chunin Exams, then stumbles during the desert stage after a costly clash with a Konoha rival cell.
Overview
Hailing from Sunagakure, this genin cell brings together Ameno, Koji, and Shishio for a shot at advancement. The three enter the cooperative Chunin Exams staged together by the Leaf and Sand, an event that gathers candidates from both allied nations under a shared set of rules.
Role
After making the trip to Konoha, the squad clears the opening round and then hurries out to the Demon Desert, located within the Land of Wind, where the next phase unfolds. Their run sours when they cross paths with Asuma's group, which at the time counts Sakura Haruno among its ranks. That encounter costs the Sand trio their scroll, and whether they ever pieced together a matching set before the phase ended is left unresolved.
