On the subject of what happens when you get an odd number of Academy graduates, a number that can't be divided evenly into three-man teams...
I've always figured at least some odd ones out might get assigned to an existing genin team from an earlier Academy year.
Teams are probably always losing members for some reason - promotion or attrition.
I mean, Asuma's team was down one genin after Shikamaru got bumped to chuunin, and if Rock Lee hadn't survived his surgery, Team Gai might have been short a member as well.
Or there might be older genin floating around without teams, and they might be tacked onto Academy groups to round out, say, a team of two that needs a third member...
...well. Those are just assumptions I made for my own fanfic efforts. I'm prolly ramblin' and drastically wrong or somethin', but it sounds plausible to me. >_> It does. Really. Ahem.
