Team 15 consisted of Wasabi Izuno, Sumire Kakei, and Namida Suzumeno led by Hanabi Hyuga. Later in the series, Sumire decides to join Hidden Leaf’s Scientific Ninja Weapons Department and this decision led her to resign as a member of Team 15. In the anime, Tsubaki Kurogane, a Samurai, fills the vacant spot in Team 15. Team 15 is the first shinobi official team to have a Samurai as a team member.
During the Chunin Exams, Team 15 performed well in the exam's first phase. Unfortunately, they were eliminated as their flag was stolen by a rival team, Team Yurui of the Hidden Cloud Village.
After Tsubaki replaced Sumire as a member of Team 15, the team went through a rough patch. There was a noticeable decline in their mission success rate as Tsubaki did not believe in working alongside a shinobi. She preferred to work alone rather than alongside a shinobi. Even though she was a member of a team, she took it upon herself to finish their missions. Her stubbornness and lack of teamwork are reflected in their performance as a team and the decline in their success rate. This changed during one of their missions. Tsubaki realized that she does not have to take everything upon herself and rely only on her strength. She stopped attempting to complete their missions with her strength alone and truly became part of Team 15.
Wasabi was promoted to the rank of Chunin because of her amazing performance in the Chunin Exams. After her promotion, she was appointed as the Team Captian of Team 15 and from this point on, Team 15 became a three-person team.
The Byakuya Gang was a band of thieves who considered themselves noble thieves as they stole from the rich and distributed their loot in the poor regions. Team 15, along with other genins, was assigned to locate and help stop the gang as they had caught everyone’s attention by striking so often. They were instructed to avoid confrontation without a Chunin or higher-ranked shinobi present.
Team 15 was hired by Fire Park to recapture all the animals who had managed to escape the zoo.
Team 15 was assigned to escort a group of antique art merchants on their journey. They had to defend the client against the Garakuta Gang, who were trying to steal their antique goods and some sacred documents.
Along with Team 7, Team 15 was assigned to investigate the unnatural change in birds from the Land of Rivers under Konohamaru Sarutobi’s temporary leadership.
