Trust

It was bonds of trust which kept Team 7 together. They trusted that each would cover the other's back in battle. They trusted that Naruto would charge in recklessly, all guns blazing, plan half formed in his head. They trusted that Sasuke would follow, fighting in perfect synchronicity with Naruto, using his Susano'o to protect all three when needed. They trusted that Sakura would cover their backs in large fights, ready and waiting with healing Jutsu at the end, when all three were covered in blood.

It was also trust that made the people of Konoha admire and respect Team 7. They trusted in Sasuke that he would always mysteriously appear when and where he was needed, often with no explanation. They trusted in Sakura that she would do her best in all and any medical cases, Even the ones deemed hopeless, even if all she could do in the end was dope the patient up on painkillers and watch as they slipped away. They trusted in Naruto that he would always do everything he could in defence if the village, often placing the lives of the villagers above his own.

It was this trust which made Team 7 the most respected and feared Ninja squad of their time.
