| - Team Gen, also known as Team 22 was a team led by Gen Nakaido and was formed after Sanhiro Kimza, Kaede Meitochi, and Art Uzuba became genin. It was stated that the team was formed due to Sanhiro's low physical stats and it was to be balanced out with Art's physical prowess and Kaede's knowledge of jutsu. Sanhiro himself was said to have potential that could be drawn out with practice. Gen was placed as their leader as a result of his name being brought up on the roster as an accident that could not be reversed. In reality, Gen Nakaido was placed as the leader of the team specifically to keep an eye on Sanhiro as he matured and to relay events to Otoshi Nagare. In the event that Sanhiro's Senchūgan matured to six pillars, he was given the order to contact Otoshi immediately. However, when that happened; Gen, who had grown close to Sanhiro and his teammates, vowed to protect him at any cost. After the battle at the end of Kimza Chronicles that placed Otoshi as Hokage, Sanhiro fled Konoha in fear that he would be found and executed, and subsequently joined the Shinjiro Tenga Group. Afterward, Sanhiro was replaced by Kenno Sagii, the only survivor of Team 24. Later, after Sanhiro was accepted back into Konoha, he was placed back in Team Gen to be watched over, then he was a full-fledged team member again. Kenno remained a member of Team 22, while Art took a second-in-command role. After Gen was killed by Otoshi Nagare, the team changed yet again. Art became the full-fledged leader of the team while Sanhiro took second-in-command. Due to this, Kenno became the new permanent fourth member. Even so, the group decided to let the team's name remain to honor the memory of their fallen sensei. They continued to operate until the defeat of Daigaru Meitochi and some time after. After the entire team becomes jonin, Sanhiro becomes sensei of his own team, Kaede leads the medical corps, Art is chosen for the position of Hokage's successor, and Kenno becomes a member of the Sniper Corps elite. As such, the team is considered successfully disbanded. Team 22 was almost always alongside Team 26, another team from their days as genin. Those two were rival teams as well as very close friends. Their team leaders, Gen and Neji Hyuga, were also close friends and comrades as well. The teamwork between these two teams was superb. During the most of the Kimza Chronicles series, Team Gen has had the habit of going up against the members of Shinjiro. So far, Gen has defeated two members, Sanhiro defeated four, Kaede defeated one, Art defeated two, and Kenno defeated one member. Also, Sanhiro, was also a member of Shinjiro, making him a major asset to the team in terms of information.
