A Jounin master, Kurenai is the leader of Team 8 (Hyuuga Hinata, Aburame Shino, Inuzuka Kiba). Near the series start, Kurenai attained the rank of Jounin. She is highly trained in Genjutsu illusion techniques.
After Kurenai was assigned her Genin team, she went to the Hyuuga family head Hiashi to ask if it was okay that the family's heir would be putting her life on the line everyday. Unimpressed with Hinata's progress, Hiashi dismissed his daughter’s abilities. Kurenai was surprised but she accepted his response. She then kept a watchful eye over Hinata, noting how she did poorly on their team missions. When Hinata later pushed herself more than ever before in the Chuunin Exam, Kurenai was greatly impressed by this newfound strength. When Neji was later enraged by Hinata's words, Kurenai jumped in alongside other Jounin masters to stop the young man.
Over time Kurenai would develop a close relationship with fellow Jounin Sensei Sarutobi Asuma. Though she would deny they were dating, the two did develop a bond. When Uchiha Itachi returned to the village, she did her part to subdue him. When she became endangered, Asuma jumped in to help. With the arrival of Might Guy, Itachi and his partner Kisame fled.
Over the next several years Kurenai would further train her students and watch as they finally passed the Chuunin Exam. Her relationship with Asuma would grow. With the grave dealings of Akatsuki coming to the forefront, Asuma would think over his place in Konoha and his relationship with Kurenai. When he was called away to track Akatsuki down, he made one final stop by Kurenai's apartment. He could not bring himself to talk to her though, by the time she noticed someone outside, he was gone.

Rank: Chuunin - Team 8
Age: 16
Birthday: December 27th
Blood Type: A
Height: 160 cm
Weight: 45 kg
A Genin from the village of Konoha, Hyuuga Hinata is the heir to the main family of the Hyuuga Clan line.
Hyuuga Hinata is the heir to the main family of the Hyuuga Clan. When she turned three years old her cousin Neji had a cursed seal placed on his forehead. After the seal was placed upon Neji, he grew to resent the main family for that and for what he saw was the unjustified killing of his father by the main family. Neji directed his hatred for the main family against his cousin Hinata. In the third round preliminary matches of the Chuunin Exam, Hinata and Neji were matched against each other. Utilizing the Hyuuga Clan's gentle fist style, Neji and Hinata began to trade blows. Neji's level of skill utilizing the Byakugan bloodline ability outmatched Hinata's and she became injured.
Thinking back to how she had seen Naruto refuse to give up, Hinata tried to become a stronger willed person and leave some of her timidness behind. Saying she wouldn't go back on her words and give up, Hinata began to trade blows with Neji again. Though Neji continued to injure Hinata, she refused to give up. This angered Neji to the point where he was going to strike a killing blow against her. Before he could do so, the Jounin masters watching the match jumped in to stop him. Hinata then collapsed due to the internal injuries she was suffering. Medical attendants took Hinata away but from that point on she was a changed person.
Before the start of the third test of the Chuunin Exam, Hinata had gone to the Genin survival training area. While there Naruto also showed up much to her surprise. Naruto told her he was experiencing some doubts about his abilities. Hinata took the opportunity to tell Naruto to not doubt himself. She let him know she was inspired by his determination and sees herself as more assertive and self-assured than she has been in the past. Hearing her reassuring words, Naruto felt better about his chances and told Hinata to come see his match where he would beat Neji. Then Naruto told Hinata that he thought Hinata was a dark and timid person, but he said he was wrong. Naruto then told her something that stunned and flattered her, he liked people like her. Blushing, Hinata could only stand in shocked surprise as the boy she liked expressed feelings for liking people of her type.
As the years passed, Hinata began to further push her limits and abilities and attained the rank of Chuunin. When Naruto finally returned to the village, she was embarrassed and stunned. Though she had grown in a lot of ways, her bashful crush on Naruto remained.

A Genin from the village of Konoha, Shino hails from the Aburame clan know for their ability to control insects. These insects are introduced into the body of the Aburame clan at birth.

Shino then fights in the preliminaries for the third exam test and defeats Zaku from Hidden Sound, advancing him to the third and final round.
In the third and final round Shino was matched against Kankurou from Hidden Sand, when it came time for their match Kankurou gave up before the match could begin. Kankurou and his siblings were on a mission to help capture Uchiha Sasuke and his being missing for his own match forced Kankurou to panic and throw his match. This surprised Shino and caused him to tail Kankurou when the invasion formally began. Catching up to Uchiha Sasuke who had earlier fled in pursuit of the siblings, Shino told Sasuke to continue on after Gaara and Temari while he himself would take on Kankurou. Kankurou used his puppet to poison Shino, but not before Shino managed to send his bugs along the chakra puppet strings to attack the hidden Kankurou and defeat him. The poison knocked Shino out, but his father Shibi later found his son and used his own insects to remove the poison from Shino's body.
Shino would later go on a mission with his father and miss an opportunity to go on the mission to retrieve Sasuke. When his teammate Kiba later returned from this mission, he demanded that Kiba tell him everything that happened because he wanted to know all the details. Kiba surmised Shino was annoyed he missed out on such a dangerous mission.
