Team Minato

Team Minato was a team that was headed by the future Fourth Hokage,Namikaze Minato with Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin being the members of the team.

Background
In the Kakashi Gaiden, which was set during the Third Shinobi War, the team went to Kusagakure to destroy Kannabi Bridge to cut off supplies for Iwagakure ninja. Rin was captured by Iwagakure ninja during the mission. Kakashi and Obito rescued her but Obito was crushed by a cave-in caused by the Iwagakure ninja Kakkō. Obito gifted Kakashi his remaining Sharingan and tells them to flee, before the second cave-in seemingly killed him.

However, in reality, Obito was saved by Madara Uchiha and was recuperating for an unknown period of time.

After Rin's forced sacrifice to save their village from the Three-Tails that was sealed inside her, despite his earlier intent to rejoin her and Kakashi, Obito decides to have everyone continue to believe he died as he became a disillusioned shell of his former self.

Some time later, Minato would sacrifice his own life to seal away the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, who was released on Konoha by the masked man who was Obito in disguise. Prior to the climax of the Fourth Shinobi War where he finds out that Obito still lives, Kakashi believed he was the sole survivor of Team Minato.
