Team 10 Is Feral⢠And I Am Going To Tell You Why
As previously established (maybe, offhandedly) I believe that Team 10 is Feralā¢. So, a comprehensive list of the bullshit that Asuma encouraged and Konohagakure cried over because the Yamanaka Clan is the Worst Thing In The Worldā¢. It is not alphabetical, chronological, or organized in any shape or form.
Yamanaka Inomako blew up part of the Land of Earth during the 1st Shinobi World War and now the Yamanakas are forbidden to enter the Land of Earth without a number of ridiculous filing and things so Konoha generally just doesnāt formally send them there anymore.
This does not stop Ino as she went in and blew Iwagakureās noble district to smithereens when she was 14.
Shikamaru figured out how to use his shadows to stab people. This has never been done before but he was bored and Ino is a chaotic gremlin.
Choji ripped a head off of a beast in the Forest of Death when they were 12. This is why they looked so beat up. They had to scrub all the blood out of their clothes and some of that stuff was acidic.
While Shikamaru has yet to beat Shikaku in a game of Shogi, Shikaku refuses to formally spar with him because Shikamaru taught his shadows to hold a knife and you donāt see it until itās at your neck.
Inoichi actively encourages Ino to poison random ninjas. She has managed to stab every jounin sensei at least once (Kakashi she actively stabs randomly. He has the highest at 24 poisons). Asuma laughs every time that they show up at the flower shop and have to chug some nasty tasting antidote.
Choji is the only one who can stomach Sakuraās chakra, restoring medical balls. He actively hoards them and just eats them whenever heās hungry.
When they were 15 (and chunin), they accidentally killed a god. They had to run because they had to do something else but they kept forgetting to grab it.
Ino learned how to rip heads off of people from watching Choji do it to a squirrel.
Shikamaru once slit his own thighs to get enough blood for Choji to do a blood seal. This horrified Team 8 the first time they watched this happen but for Team 10 itās all routine.
Ino commits war crimes in other countries and then proceeds to forget to tell Tsunade because it wasnāt relevant to the mission she was originally assigned. Shikamaru usually has to inform her the next day because Ino regalled him and Choji with stories of her side quest and then Tsunade has to try and track Ino down but fails because Ino is in the Yamanaka Clan Post-Mission Coma.
Choji accidentally causes a hurricane in the Land of Water because Shikamaru bet him he couldnāt use Water Style but the only one any of them knew was Water Style: Unholy Storm so Choji did that and caused a hurricane. They still laugh about this.
While Ino is technically a āsupport ninjaā the Yamanaka Clan is a well known Fire Style Clan. While not like the Uchiha, Yamanakas are known in the Land of Earth as The Clan of Fire. Iwagakure nin flat out refused to work with Yamanakas.
Itachi met with the three once because he worked with Inoās mother. He avoids all three like the plague because Ino was showing them how to cause a fire with a magnifying glass.
In another post, I said that Choji is the Team Mom. He always has food. The Akimichi clan (headcanon) is in charge of the Fuinjutsu department. Ergo, Choji constantly has a fully prepared meal at All Timesā¢. He makes sure Shikamaru and Ino actually eat throughout the day.
That being said, once another person comes along, heās just as feral as Shikamaru and Ino. He is willing to rip heads off shoulders, eat carrion and body slam enemies.
During the Asuma Revenge Mission, they were almost perfect Shinobi. Kakashi was fucking stressed the entire time because Ino didnāt try to poison him once, Shikamaruās shadow had more knives that Kakashi had ever owned, and Choji briefly disappeared only to return with a fucking emu.
Taka was stressed during the war when they were babysitting Team 10.
The one time that Madara attacked Taka instead of Team 10, Team 10 went entirely feral. Shikamaru flung Choji who planted Shadow Aids (a bunch of metal rods at such an angle that they have a shadow), Ino connected the entire shinobi alliance so thoroughly that she became every single Shinobi in the Alliance and controlled them (without their consent) into Monsters⢠and rip into the Akatsukiās forces.
Tsunade still canāt look at Ino without feeling the Red Hot Rage that nearly cooked her from the Inside out.
Taka belongs to Team 10 and Team 10 is Feral⢠and therefore more animalistic than Team 8.
Shikamaru bet Ino that she couldnāt take control of all of Konohagakure. Not only did Ino do it, she held all of it and made everyone never notice it. Shikamaru and Choji were the exceptions as they both needed to judge if she wins or Shikamaru does.
As a general rule of thumb, if someone bets Team 10 anything, they will do everything in their power to win that bet. This generally becomes the fact that they will always win the bet and the one who bet them will lose.
The reason Shikamaru developed new techniques for the Shadow Style is by bets between him and Ino. Choji tries to avoid betting things because heās the Responsible Oneā¢.
Ino bet Choji that he couldnāt rip a head off of a beast and he then ripped one off a giant centipede in the Forest of Death while Ino and Shikamaru watched.
They applauded him accordingly.
Asuma is Stressed with the children. Mostly because every month they come up to him with a new technique of theyāre already established Safe and Well Tested Jutsus That Do Not Cause Problems Later In Life and theyāre techniques are Not Safe At All And Can Only Be Performed By Their Respective Clans.
Ino went and joined Orochimaru on a dare. She found some stuff and then proceeded to return to Konoha and it was never brought up again.
Ino infiltrated the Akatsuki out of boredom on another mission. Found more stuff, played a game of shogi with Uchiha Itachi and had a phenomenal conversation about guilt, talked with Konan for an hour and then left.
Yamato was paired with Choji for a mission. He spent most of it asking āWhat the fuck, Akimichi?ā, āhow did you get in there?ā, āWhat do you mean that was Yamanaka Ino and Nara Shikamaru? Theyāre still in the village!ā
It was very stressful for him. He loved Team 7 after that.
Ino once romanced Sasuke and then left. She told Shikamaru and Choji and they all laughed, but Tsunade was not very happy five years later when she finally heard the story from Sasuke after he was drunk and he, Ino, and Sai were in a polyamorous relationship.
The one person Team 10 refuse to go near is Team Gai because Ino poisoned Gai once and he immediately sweated it out. Team 10 fears Might Gai.
Anyways, Team 10 is Feral⢠and does not care for those who are Not Theirs and has no problems ripping heads off shoulders. All the Jonin senseis are stressed, Kakashi the most, Gai the least because he doesnāt understand.
