Perfect team

[Shippou-sama]

Basically, a few of my friends and I have debated and discussed various teams. The basic idea is to create a team that can handle all or most situations, work well together (so Naruto is generally a bad candidate), and not waste/overlap talent (using Hinata for healing, while overlooking her Byukagen, or putting too many fighters in one team). Please try to explain your choices, as well.

The teams are four member squads, so we'll stick with 1 Jounin and 3 genin.

My current "team" is Kakashi for dealing with genjutsu, Shikamaru for tactics (in case of seperation), Neiji for scouting/taijutsu, and Sasuke for general ninjutsu use.

Mind you, my team has several holes, but this is the team I'm thinking of now.

[deadlydreamx]

my team would have to be neji, rock lee, saskue, and tsunade

neji - for his ability to see nearly all around him and for his 64 hit move which will practically paralize anyone
rock lee - for his great taijustu skills and gates
saskue - for his sharingan which will see gengutsu and attacks
tsunade - for her healing jutsus and strength

[Lucian5000]

Shikimaru, Naruto, Chouji, and Kiba. But no Neji. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

Shikimaru for the tactics, Chouji for physical power and comedic relief, Naruto for Chakra power and Kiba for scouting/combat.

itachi, jiraiya, orochimaru.

no other combination of alive characters can beat that.

EDIT:

EDIT 2:

[basey44]

mut u werent listening

get into the spirit of this thread, u get 4 in a team so u should also add tsunade or kisame [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

[Shippou-sama]

Well, some very interesting choices, though it seems I'm too longwinded. Sorry, I know there's a lot of crap to read through, but I was referring to a team of 1 Jounin and 3 Genin.

The only reason we try to limit it is because clearly there are a few overpowering characters in the series, and clearly nobody can beat the 3 sannins combined. The idea is to use the less than perfect members to create the best team possible.

Also, feel free to analyze possible problems, like the fact that Itachi and Orochimaru would spend more time fighting than working together, thus undermining the group's efficiency. The same goes for just about any team with Naruto and the following: Kiba, Shikamaru, Sasuke (well, sometimes they work out alright, but we're not counting on the "when it really counts" idea, we want a team for all situations), umm . . . some others that I can't think of off the top of my head.

To start the critiques, we'll pull apart mine: no healers for one, an extra member (Sasuke, while a good ninja, doesn't actually contribute anything to the group), and possible personality conflicts with Nejii and Sasuke.

Anything else?

Note: I am happy to see that people are in fact interested. =D

But reallly I do have wife and you have no proof to say I don't. btw I knew what he was talking about and you have right to tell me to keep it clean with your comment being said.

what the hell are you talking about. i specifically said that i'ma stick with my idea despite the 'rules.' try quoting the right person next time and don't provoke random people.

[givenarutoa100]

mine would have to be sakura, shikamaru, ino, hinata and tenten
sakura for her healing abillities, shikamaru for his shadow and his smartness, hinata for her byokugan, ino for her mind jutsu and to actualy flirt with shikamaru instead of sauske and tenten for her weaPONS

[kAi]

Shippou-sama: i liked your team but instead of sasuke you throw in naruto,
he can summon, got kage bunshin and also has rasengan.
shikamaru to come up with strategies and such. neji for his insight, taijutsu and byakugen, kaiten, and naruto with his kage bunshin can create more then the group and if things get into big trouble he has gamabunta.

[Shippou-sama]

My only concern is that Naruto doesn't really work well with others, and would fairly adequately muck up Shikamaru's plans. Also, a flaw for Shikamaru is that he may or may not be willing to actually come up with tactics, since he tends to let others take over, and only acts when he has no other choice. Regardless of teammates, Naruto will always try to take command, thus Shikamaru may not get the chance.

I do see the advantages of having him in the group, with a more useful variety of jutsus. Part of his usefulness comes only from the dreaded "in a tight spot" (frog boss). This is another thing to try and avoid, as it massively unbalances any characters performance. Remember, we want to find a team to handle all their missions well, which includes everything in the range of picking trash out of a river to eliminating an enemy from another village.

And, as I've said, my team is far from perfect, I realize. =P

[Kaka]

Shikamaru, Neji, Sasuke

and gai (cos wherever gai is rock lee isnt too far away)

jounin - tsunade-sama
genin - gaara naruto sasuke


Tsunade for healing (not that any of these badboys will get hurt) also shes kick ass and powerful.

Gaara pwns j00. and its got shukaku to eat u alive
Naruto has immense amounts of chakra. Can be used very well and hes got gamabunta.
Who needs lee-kun? Sasuke-chan beat weights-off-lee's speed in 1 month. Plus hes got sharingan, uchiha blood, and sexxy hair.

I dont need no "plan making" from shika shika. My team sees you, you die.

Spoiler Removed- MOD
so the new team would have to be
Tsunade - as leader because as the stated healing and bein super strong
Naruto - even tho we all pretty much see him as bein useless he gets the job done
Saskue - all i have to say is sharingan
rock-lee - even tho u said saskue could match his speed.. i dnt thing he could keep up wit lee with his gates opend

Please keep in mind where this is guys if this continues to have spoilers I'll move it - MOD

Naruto worked fine with Shikamaru during the Sasuke retrieval arc.

But anyway, my team would be a "paralysis" team.

Shikamaru
Ino
Neji

Shikamaru for tactics and shadow binding opponents.
Ino for Mind Controlling and neutralizing whoever they scout to be the strongest opponent in the opposing group.
Neji to finish the job by shutting down all the enemy Chakra points.

As for the Jounin, I guess it would be Kakashi for the Sharinan. He can play mind tricks on the enemy and cause paralysis that way.

[Mizuchi]

capsule: id like to say nice work, that team does sound pretty powerful. although i think i see a flaw. What if there was a large amount of enemies? Im sure neji can take them, because he has very good offense/defense, but he doesnt exactly have an arsenal of jutsu to defend teamates. Kakashi could, but lets say there was atleast 1 jounin, he would take kakashi's attention while the genin/whatever-rank-they-may-be would have a perfect opportunity to attack ino/shika seeing how they arent very taijutsu-skilled.

Yukimura/Rival teams: I do remember naruto's entrance to demon ice mirrors, but naruto did make up for it in the shadow-shuriken technique. Although it did take sasuke's participation, it was naruto's plan and he couldve used any strong ninja who can use large projectiles to participate instead. But the main thing I want to say is I think (not sure) that almost a year has gone by in the naruto series since that moment? idk if it was almost a year but I do know that over the time, naruto has developed a lot. You hear kakashi/jiraya say it all the time.

When naruto rushed off to find sasuke before the team even left, that was because he very eager to get sasuke, and he wasnt exactly in the serious mood. When he is in the right mood and has somebody who he respects giving orders, he will follow them. He might not be the best team player, but he can be the team's trump card. The saying goes, "Never show your trump card until the end" right? Well the end is usually when naruto gets angry, and will be forced to reveal his trump card no sooner. And yes, i believe every team should have a trump card. Am I wrong?


P.S. Yukimura: As you were bored so you wrote that long comment, I too was bored so I changed around some words i.e. "rojo (red)" and "der (the)".

capsule: id like to say nice work, that team does sound pretty powerful. although i think i see a flaw. What if there was a large amount of enemies?

Just a thought (to anyone, really): Maybe people should create their perfect team and tell us what the team's specialty would be (like, they would be called as a team to do specific missions). So people could create a specific "perfect" team, or a general "perfect" team (general being the "perfect" team for taking on the widest range of missions).

Still, I'd have to say... if there were a large amount of enemies, in the world of Naruto, those enemies are generally not so strong. If there were say, three strong enemies, I can see his "paralysis" team working well... or against a large group of not-so-strong enemies.

My idea of the "perfect" team in general is:

Kakashi
Garaa
Lee
Neji

My idea of a "brute force" team would be:

Jiraiya
Gaara
Naruto
Neji

[KaneInferno]

hmm...3 genin, 1 jounin?
I'd have to say,
jounin: Kakashi
genin: Shikamaru, Neji, Rock Lee

id like to put shino in there, but with the jounin and three genin this would be best. if it were 4 genins, id replace kakashi with shino and rock lee with sasuke
