Umm, Kakashi became a Jonin at twelve-thirteen or something. He became a chunin at six.

I figured that Obelix.
Wait, someone said something about us ignoring them. Anyone know who it was?
The sad, REAL American dichotomyGot a question about the Characters.Naruto-Team7 page, specifically Naruto's profile:
- Deceased Parents Are the Best: Deconstructed- Sure he has more freedom but he's an emotional basket case because of it. Discussed between Sakura and Sasuke at the very beginning of the story.
It's not deconstructed. It's played painfully straight.
"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerIt was me you Catholic Priest! Your death shall not come swiftly!
Nowhere, which is why whoever wrote it has no idea what the trope is about. Best rewrite it into how his parents were really nice people.
"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerOh christ, this is gonna suck.

I think everything besides the Kage is shoehorning.

"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerThey're all shoehorning.
Why do people like assigning a 5 man band so much?
The sad, REAL American dichotomyI dunno most of them work for the roles. Face it Five-Man Band is an age old archetype that stories will fall into a lot.

I think the Sasuke Retrieval squad fits. Needs to be rewritten though.
Making a Five-Man Band is fun.

You're right, they are.
People need to make teams, and there must be a trope for my favourite show!
Five-Man Band is five people only, no duplicate roles. So, most of them are shoehorning. Everyone must have the right role, not just 3 or 4 people.

"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerThe problem isn't people abusing the Five-Man Band trope, the problem is Kishimoto abusing the Five-Man Band trope. But the fact is he is using that ensemble set up a lot, and at Tv Tropes it's our job to make note of it.
From the trope page: Variations occur where the core five are different or overlap. Don't take the title too literally — it's the roles more than the numbers that matter.

No. Hashed out in TRS and Trope talk.
That part doesn't apply. Five people or nothing.

"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerBecause the article is locked. How do they fit? Mei has no lancer qualities. The band immediatelly falls apart.

Obelisk? The Tormentor?
Sasuke's Jonin application will forever be denied because they don't like him.
