shikarmaru's definitely my favorite. even tho he's a genius lazy ass, when the chips are down, he'll risk his life to do what's needed.
naruto would prolly come next even though his idiocy's a bit grating every once in a while.
after that is temari [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] she's everything sakura needs to be in order to be cool =P

i don't really like traitors, no matter how cool or badass they are (kabuto, orochimaru, itachi, or even sasuke). *shrug*
