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
