Rookie Ninja Teams

As Naruto's training continues, he is given a new mission to pursue. Along with Sakura, they are assigned to form a new ninja team of their own. The episode titled "A New Squad! Two People and a Dog?!" begins with Naruto and Sakura having a heated debate regarding who they would want to join them on their mission. Sakura suggests the former members of her own team, Shino, and Kiba, to which Naruto objects and suggests they include someone from his team, such as Choji, Shikamaru, or Ino.

In the end, they are able to come to an agreement, and form a new squad consisting of Naruto, Sakura, and the dog, Pakkun, whom they have met while working for Kakashi. Though the members of the new team are initially reluctant to work together, they soon realize that they can accomplish great things if they combine their strengths.

The first task assigned to them is to locate a hidden scroll in the dense forest of the Land of Waves.
