Ino–Shika–Chō
Ino-Shika-Chō" (Boar–Deer–Butterfly,いの しか ちょうトリオ ) is a symbol of the bond between the Akimichi, Nara, and Yamanaka. The Nara Clan names everyone of their members with the suffix Shika-, and are always partnered with members of the Akimichi Clan and Yamanaka Clan, who have a similar tradition. Their team captain is always a member of the Sarutobi Clan. Once they achieve the rank of genin, they are given the earrings of their parents, so that they can hear the oath of their parents constantly in their ears. Once they pass the chūnin exams, their team leader makes them swear an oath to protect the village and each other, and awards them with their own pair of earrings. The old pair is returned to their parents, and they are now seen as adults by their clan.
