A jounin is one of the highest rankings a ninja can get! They have the most skills and get to do the... hardest missions! And they are also qualified to be in charge of teams of younger ninja. Ever ninja goes to ninja school! The ones who don't are the civilians who are sworn to protect.

Shikamaru's team contained Chouji-kun and Ino-san. Chouji-kun is a funny guy who is part of the Akimichi clan. He eats a lot but is mad when you call him fat, and he is much more skilled than others take him to be. And Ino-san loves flowers and has a variety of skills at her disposal. The three of them share a great bond because their families are already close! And [Ah... Asuma. Awkward subject. He puts a hand on her shoulder.] their teacher was a very great man named Asuma Sensei. He was very funny and smart.
