Naruto: Before awakening kyuubi chakra, before getting shadow clones.
Sasuke: Before awakening Sharingan, before getting Lee's taijutsu and speed.
Sakura: Just sucks

How could Iruka have put a team like this together, wtf? Was he on drugs when he made the teams? He's lucky they got all their enhancements so quickly. These guys sucked and probably would have gotten owned by the other two rookie teams. Choji or Shino might solo, LOL!

Uhh the teams were made by the grades. Sasuke had the highest grades and Naruto had the lowest that's why they were on the same team

They all have to start from somewhere.

The other teams just seemed so much more powerful as soon as they were introduced in forest of death. Hinata already had her kekkei genkai awakened, shino's abilities were op, Kiba had the devastating Gatsuuga, Choji had the body expansion jutsu, meat tank as well as the ino-shika-cho. Whereas all team 7 had at the beginning was basic taijutsu.

Sasuke was already above Genin level at the beginning of the manga, Kakashi clearly noting a Genin shouldn't be able to do things Sasuke could. [ ] He also possessed the Sharingan. [ ]

Naruto gets saved by Kurama every time he is near death, at the beginning of the show it was established that Kurama would fade away if Naruto was dead so Kurama would go all-out to save him.

Sakura... could provide moral support.

And it was stated by the raikage that if he had killed naruto, kyubi would be revived.....and lets say raikage was wrong, why would kabuto purposely kill of naruto and B further proving kyubi didn't have to save him.....

Sasuke was the only good one from the start.

The fact that I have to explain this fact to you is depressing, but let me highlight a few certain words I wrote: at the beginning of the show.

It has clearly been retconned as of the more recent chapters, but we are talking about Naruto manga chapter 1.

It would still take time for the kyuubi to revive
Also the kyuubi was leaking his chakra so that eventually he could break the seal and escape
Also teams were formed based on grades to even out the scaling
Naruto being the worst, sasuke being the best
Obviously if sasuke graduated top of his class then he had to start from something

Because they are main characters

Honestly to me i like main characters to begin as weak than gets powerful later

I think Sasuke was canonically the best rookie.

Plot honestly. Ino actualy had the highest grades (Sasuke teamwork was pathetic).

If it went how it should've, it would've been Ino (highest), Sakura (mid level), and Naruto (low).

Sasuke (high), Kiba (mid), Shikamaru (low) (he was one of the better in the clas, but he was so lazy that he scored almost as badly as Naruto)

Shino (high), Choji (mid), Hinata (low).

However, these are just going by grades from the databook. Also, the teams would've been weirder and it was just better plotwise this way.

No ino was

First at the flower section (or what ever you call it) only .

Sasuke was number 1 at almost everything ( except genjutsu its unkown)

Sakura is smarter than ino
Ino herself cheat from sakura paper in the exam (chunin)and complement for her amazing brain lol
