{"id":"ino-shika-cho","name":"Ino–Shika–Chō","japanese":"猪鹿蝶","category":"history","subtitle":"Three clans, one partnership.","summary":"A tradition of teams combining Yamanaka, Nara and Akimichi abilities. The alliance does not make them one family.","facts":[["Clanes","Yamanaka · Nara · Akimichi"],["Clave","Coordination"]],"lvl":0,"sections":[{"h":"Team 10's first fight","t":"In the Forest of Death, Shikamaru, Ino and Chōji take on the Sound ninja attacking Team 7. Shikamaru pins a rival with his shadow, Ino uses Mind Transfer to take over Kin's body and Chōji grows huge with his Expansion. The Yamanaka's perception and mind techniques, the Nara's shadows and the Akimichi's body expansion combine to attack and protect. Each member needs their own training and resources.","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-55","pos":55},{"h":"Asuma's legacy","t":"Asuma, Team 10's teacher, dies facing Hidan. Before he dies he says goodbye to each of them: he asks Ino to look after the others, Chōji to diet without losing his kindness, and reveals to Shikamaru who the “king” he protects is. The team sets out to avenge him and succeeds with Kakashi. The partnership does not depend on blood: it is a clan tradition kept alive by choice and training.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-342","pos":342},{"h":"Two generations at once","t":"In the war, Shikaku, Inoichi and Chōza represent one generation and Shikamaru, Ino and Chōji another. They help Darui seal Kinkaku and then face the reanimated Asuma: Chōji overcomes his fear, and Ino and Shikamaru back him with the Ino–Shika–Chō formation until they defeat their teacher. The tradition does not guarantee victory or let one member automatically use the others' techniques. The scene brings parents and children into the same battle: Chōza encourages Chōji while Asuma's students face their own teacher.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-534","pos":534},{"h":"The price of war","t":"Shikaku and Inoichi die at headquarters when a Ten-Tails Tailed Beast Ball destroys it, after passing on their last plan. Chōza survives. Shikamaru and Ino get the news mid-battle and carry on with the plan their fathers left them. The scene shows that the partnership between clans also means losing the elders at the same moment. The next generation is left in charge of keeping the formation going without them.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-614","pos":614},{"h":"Boruto's generation","t":"In the next era, Shikadai, Inojin and Chōchō carry on the partnership as the new Team 10. The Nara tree does not connect them as siblings or children, because a team is not a family tree: Shikadai is the son of Shikamaru and Temari, Inojin of Ino and Sai, and Chōchō of Chōji and Karui. They repeat the formation and the name, but each has their own techniques, temperament and teachers. Shikadai reasons like a Nara, Inojin inherits his father's ink and Chōchō the Akimichi expansion.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-700","pos":700},{"h":"In Two Blue Vortex","t":"During the search for Naruto, Jura and Hidari intercept Team 10 and find that the trail leads them to Himawari. In the fight that follows, Jura runs Inojin through, and Himawari heals him with Kurama's chakra. Later, Inojin develops a new technique with Koji and takes control of an enemy's body. The tradition lives on, but each generation adapts it to new threats. Shikamaru, now Hokage, also depends on Ino to communicate with Boruto in secret.","lvl":3,"ch":"tbv-11","pos":791}],"characters":["shikaku","shikamaru","shikadai"],"related":["nara","kagemane","chakra"],"reference":"Naruto, chapters 55–56 and 529–534; early Boruto: the new Team 10.","sources":[{"title":"Shikamaru: sombras, Shikaku e Ino–Shika–Chō","url":"https://naruto-official.com/en/news/01_1910"},{"title":"Boruto: familia y primeros pasos del Equipo 7","url":"https://naruto-official.com/en/news/01_1745"}],"figures":[]}
