The Recon Team

The Recon Team (偵察選手団, Teisatsu Senshudan)

An expeditionary force utilized by Konoha in times of warfare, usually ranging from 6-8 members at a time and led by a Jounin rank Shinobi. There have been three main iterations of The Recon Team used in three main conflicts. The Recon Team was created during The Third Shinobi War, not much is known about this version of The Recon Team, other than the most notable members being Yuusei Urahara and Amakusa. This version of The Recon Team is referred to as Recon Team Beta.

During The First Stone and Leaf conflict, Yuusei Urahara reforms the team and makes it into a larger group, these Nin being pulled from Konohagakure’s Suicide Corps, essentially cannon fodder who’s main goal was to deplete the enemy of resources and energy. Yuusei viewed this instead as a chance to perform reconnaissance and along with his Genin Squad, Team 16 (Kenjiro Honda, Rubi Lee, and Adachi Nara), he recruited Tsunasa Sarutobi, and the pair Tamura and Masako. This iteration of The Recon Team, dubbed Recon Team Alpha, conducted numerous operations that proved beneficial to the advancement of Konoha’s forces, however some time after Masako and Tamura departed The Recon Team was sent into a dangerous mission by someone other than Yuusei. This led to the death of Adachi Nara and two stand in members, along with the crippling of Rubi Lee. They had ran into Akeno Kaguya, an incredibly powerful Nin who quickly dispatched most of The Recon Team without Yuusei or Tsunasa, by the time Yuusei arrived Kenjiro was the only one left and quickly engaged Akeno in battle but also fell. After this, The Recon Team was officially disbanded, Tsunasa was sent elsewhere, Rubi was hospitalized and honorably discharged, and Ken was still apart of the Suicide Corp.

With The Second Stone and Leaf War on the horizon, Tsunasa Sarutobi who now carried the rank of Captain, quickly mobilized a new and improved Recon Team for the second conflict between the villages. This version of The Recon Team would be composed of both foreign and Konoha native Shinobi in hopes of improving the relations to the rather Xenophobic village. This iteration of The Recon Team would be known as Recon Team Gamma, and would be quickly thrusted into action via scouting ahead. What was supposed to be a stealth mission would quickly devolve into a battle for survive as they pushed through Takigakure and engaged numerous members of Okami in battle. While they faired well and took out multiple members, they were met with the Nine Tails Jinchuriki who effortlessly decimated Tsunasa regiment and engaged Tsunasa in combat, ultimately killing him. Now without proper guidance they were on their own, pushing through Takigakure and taking on the new generation of Pillar Boys, after proving themselves they were allowed passage and played integral roles during The Battle of Iwagakure.

After The Second Stone and Leaf War, The Recon Team was called into action one final time just a year later, this time by Kenjiro who is now acting as the official leader of the group. They embark on a mission under the nose of their nation, in order to prevent a war before it has the chance to start. Unlike usual, their mission on Maisō Island is more akin to assassinations, taking down the numerous key members of The Revolutionary Army led by the illusive Ryusuke. Acting as the leader for The Recon Team now, Kenjiro now renames the team one final time, dubbing them Recon Team Delta.

Kenjiro Honda
A long time member of The Recon Team, he was member during Alpha as a Genin and had a long time rivalry with fellow member Tamura, however he learned to work with him instead of against him over the course of multiple operations. During the Gamma phase he acted as an unofficial leader in Tsunasa‘s absence though he struggled to believe in himself as a worthy leader of the group, but over time learned to accept himself as such. Kenjiro is now the official leader of the team in the Delta phase and hand picks members himself.

Sho Rokudo
Sho acted as a senior member of the group and as a tactical advisor. During their travels, he got into numerous arguments with the other members. During the battle against the Pillar Boys, Sho killed the lowest member, Wamuto, in solo combat. Sho is viewed as a valuable member, not only due to his prowess in combat and intellect but in his ability to put others at ease with his colorful language. He is also viewed as an equal by Kenjiro and is the closest to a second in command, Sho was the first person Kenjiro reached out to when building Recon Team Delta.

Miroku Oki
Miroku acted as the spearhead against Muzan Aburame. He, Furea, Kaijimi and Kaito managed to take Muzan down, Miroku landing the final hit. The four of them made a promise to Muzan to not kill his sister.
