It's just my opinion that you, as the leader of the entire village, would want to send the best qualified, not just the guy who wants to do it the most. Anybody else share the same thoughts?

Oh yeah, the cats (and the old lady) kinda sucked. Boring.....I seriously felt like I was watching filler again.
Not a plot hole. It makes sense considering that a) they'd use a tracking squad, one of the most talente din the village, since their parents would be passing their prime. Besides why not a squad with the hiers to several of the more powerful clans, Aburame and Hyuuga (though Neji would be better). Also consider the last to Akatsuki were dropped by a genius chuunin with nor extraordinary skill and a hyperpowered genin. I think it shows how overrated rank is.

Plus the Leaf Village seems insistant upon handling things that are personal to you. Maybe they believe the added modivation improves performance. So obviously Naruto, Sakura and kakashi would be there, and the others are able and skilled. Besides how many other ninjas in the leaf do you know of that are better for this situation.

I liked the cats, if but for the fact we know where the equipment that theyll use came from, as opposed to them whipping out random weapons out of no where.
