Team Kakashi. Team seven, also known as team kakashi, is a team led by kakashi hatake. The members include naruto uzumaki, sasuke uchiha, and sakura haruno. It was at first said that the teammates were chosen to balance out the team, but it is later revealed that kakashi was chosen specifically to be the leader of team 7 because of naruto and sasuke. Kakashis duty, in addition to training the team, was also to keep the nine-tailed demon fox in naruto contained, and to keep sasuke from walking down a dark path, since they had similar traits that would allow Kakashi to better understand him.
