The kids who used to follow Naruto everywhere now mentor students of their own. Moegi and Udon, Konohamaru's two classmates, have become jonin: she leads the new Team 10, he leads Team 5. This profile clears up a stubborn confusion about those assignments, and stops on an official piece of information that still surprises many readers — Moegi's Wood Release (Mokuton), on record but never shown on screen.

The kids who used to follow Naruto everywhere now mentor students of their own. Moegi and Udon, the two classmates of Konohamaru, have come full circle across the generations — and one of them hides an astonishing ability.

The Konohamaru Ninja Squad

At the Ninja Academy, Moegi and Udon form, together with Konohamaru, a small informal group that they themselves name the "Konohamaru Ninja Squad" — and that holds boundless admiration for Naruto.

Moegi is recognizable by her two orange pigtails, Udon by his round glasses and his permanently runny nose. A useful nuance: this was not an official genin team, but a band of children.

The trio stages itself: a band of Ninja Academy children, not an official team.

Moegi and the New Team 10

As an adult, Moegi Kazamatsuri has become a jonin and mentors the new Team 10: Shikadai, Inojin and Chocho — the children of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.

It is worth stressing the " new " in Team 10: the original was Asuma's, with their parents. A fitting symbol — Moegi inherits the most famous clan alliance in the village.

Udon and Team 5

Udon Ise, also a jonin, mentors Team 5: Metal Lee, Iwabee Yuino and Denki Kaminarimon.

Whatever you do, do not swap them: it really is Moegi who inherits Team 10 and Udon who inherits Team 5. The simplest way to remember is the Ino-Shika-Cho legacy, which goes to Moegi.

Moegi's Mokuton

Here is the most surprising piece of information, and it is official: as an adult, Moegi has the Earth and Water Release natures, whose combination produces Mokuton — the legendary kekkei genkai of Hashirama Senju.

Two crucial nuances. First, this ability is listed on a data page, but it has never been depicted. Second, the series has never explained its origin: any theory about Hashirama cells or a Senju bloodline is pure speculation.

On screen, Moegi uses only her basic natures: Wood Release itself has never been shown in action.

Moegi in Two Blue Vortex

In Part 2 of the manga, Moegi is bitten by one of the creatures of Code. She is not killed but neutralized — and from that event Matsuri is born, a sentient God Tree that takes on her appearance.

Since Boruto: Two Blue Vortex is an ongoing work, this development remains to be confirmed over time.
