Yuino, Iwabee

結乃イワベエ

Iwabee is a genin from Konohagakure. Although he was a standout student throughout his time at the Academy, his poor grades on academic tests caused him to be held back repeatedly. He serves as a member of Team 5, alongside Metal Lee and Denki Kaminarimon.
On the day of the Seventh Hokage's inauguration, Iwabee watched the ceremony alongside other villagers. Driven by a dream to become a powerful and renowned ninja, Iwabee eventually enrolled in the Academy. While he consistently achieved top marks in his various ninja classes, his aversion to book studies unrelated to ninjutsu—despite them being required by the curriculum—resulted in equally consistent poor written grades. This caused him to fail the graduation exams twice and ultimately led to him being forgotten by his former friends, who went on to become full-fledged ninja. Blaming the new shinobi era's emphasis on both academic and physical skills for his repeated delays, Iwabee became rebellious. He began regularly skipping classes entirely and became harsh, if not confrontational, toward younger students.
