The iconic Ino-Shika-Cho trio from Naruto continues to influence teamwork, now carried forward by the 17th generation trio in Boruto. This formation, uniting the Yamanaka, Nara, and Akimichi Clans, symbolizes their enduring unity through generations.
The new trio of Shikadai, Inojin, and Chocho steps into the shoes of their predecessors, already proving to be a force to be reckoned with, matching their parents' prowess at a young age.
The Next Ino-Shika-Cho Trio
The Ino-Shika-Cho formation, rooted in history, blends the unique techniques of the three clans for effective combat. The Mind-Body Switch of the Yamanaka Clan, Shadow Possession of the Nara Clan, and Expansion Jutsu of the Akimichi Clan combine seamlessly.
While maintaining the traditional techniques, the 17th generation trio, comprising Inojin Yamanaka, Shikadai Nara, and Chocho Akimichi, introduces slight variations to the formation.
