Jounin: Tsunade, good to have a medical ninja plus she's really strong.
Genin 1: Neji, to put it simply, he's a well balanced ninja.
Genin 2: Shikamaru, good strategist.
Genin 3: Naruto, he's been in tough spots but always managed to pull through so he can handle any situation.

3genin & 1 jounin: naruto, gaara, neji, Gai
Formerly known as 'Animemaster'
The best 4 man team for my money would have to be Kakashi, Neji, Naruto, and Kabuto.
Kakashi is one of the most powerful Jounins and his sharingan is useful for numerous reasons. He is also dedicated to his teammates. long live the Leaf's White Fang!
Neji's advanced bloodline and gentle fist fighting style are invaluable, especially when combined with Kakashi's sharingan.
Naruto, while unpredictable, has massive amounts of chakra and stamina which makes him an effective team member.
Kabuto has to be the most powerful genin around. His skill level has been said to equal or exceed Kakashi's and he was able to handle the fifth Hokage by himself. He is also a medical ninja which would be invaluable on dangerous missions.
Kabuto was a leaf genin (he had to stay there for the sake of the rank), but he's not a leaf anymore... and he seems to be in higher standing with Orochimaru than the sound 5, which I presume are chuunin, so that would make him a likely candidate for a sound jounin nowadays... (that is, if the sound are a village anymore; presumed heavy losses in the attack on Konoha and then the probable loss of the sound 4/5 should really cripple it, as a village, for a good time to come - and we've yet to see Orochimaru mentioned as the kage of the sound, to begin with...)Originally posted by: HyuugaNinKabuto has to be the most powerful genin around.

Phoenix23 mentions that he/she believes the sound 5 to be chuunin but I don't know why that asumption would be made. After all they were beaten indiviually by genins from Konoha. That leads me to belive they were genins as well. As for Kabuto, while I doesn't have the skill level of a genin, neither do a number of genins who have not been promoted. I also doubt that Orochimaru is too concerned rankings, so there is no reason to assume he raised Kabuto's rank. It also seems that the only way to advance is through the exam which Kabuto never completed.
Didn't we do this thread in the manga section? Anyhow, since Kabuto is out because he is CLEARLY not genin material, and Shikamaru is out for being a chuunin and all, the best team is:
Naruto: offensive raw power
Gaara: unbeatable defense
Neji: Information gathering and well rounded fighter.
If they need a leader, its Shikamaru, he would probably know better than anyone how to use their talents to the fullest. Why use a jounin when a chuunin will do the job?
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- MODOriginally Posted by boy george
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

level 2 curse seal + sexxiness > gates + super self damage effect after gates used
sasuke's steroids are better than lee's
I don't know why people group Tsunade with Gaara. Why do you need healing when you have perfect defense?
Why put Kakashi and Sasuke together? Why the heck would you need Sasuke if you have Kakashi?
Rock Lee - Lack of any ninjutsu or genjutsu is a liability. Why would you pick him over Neji, Naruto, or Sasuke?
Why would anyone pick Hinata over Neji?
Shikamaru - First off, he's a CHUNIN so he should never be mentioned. 2nd, even though he's my favorite character he has no place on a "Perfect" team. His intelligence and strategy are a plus, but his lack of taijutsu is a major fault. The guy can't fight worth beans. His main Ninjutsu has a huge handicap as well. By his own admission, he's not a very good ninja.
Here's the perfect team:
Jiraya - Brute force, vast knowledge and techniques
Neji - Scouting, close combat
Gaara - Defense, long range combat
Ino - Espionage and infiltration
Jiraya is a much better choice for brute force than Naruto. He can call Gama and use Rasengan. He has defensive capabilities with his hair. He knows almost everything. He can fully use his Chakra unlike Naruto who only can call on Kyubii when he's half-dead or pissed off.
Neji has Byakugan which is superior to Sharingan. Sharingan isn't needed because this team has great defense from everyone except Ino and Jiraya can sense Genjutsu and Neji can see through it. Jiraya also knows so many techniques and is so powerful he doesn't have to copy. Neji is also a great close range fighter.
Gaara can provide defense for the entire team and long range attacks. He also never sleeps, so he can keep watch while the others sleep. His defense will be of great help to Ino who is helpless while using her most powerful technique.
Ino is very underrated. She can possess people. No need for Henge. She can possess the real thing and infiltrate anything. With training from Jiraya she can learn to use the techniques and abilities of the people she possesses and fight with them while Gaara protects her body in a sand coffin.
The only thing this team lacks is speed, but it's not really needed and can be made up for by Ino possessing someone. It has scouting, intelligence, espionage and infiltration, brute force, long and short range offense, and perfect defense.
Genjutsu: Jiraya, Ino
Taijutsu: Jiraya, Neji
Ninjutsu: Jiraya, Gaara
All 4 are intelligent and with their combined techniques they can put together destructive attacks and deadly traps.
Can anyone think of a better team under the 1 Jounin + 3 Genin guidelines? I THINK NOT!

Not sure if it's been dicussed, but does Jiraiya count as a Jounin in a 1 Jounin/3 genin team? Isn't a Sannin a little higher up the food chain than a Jounin?
Anime- no, only thing higher than a jounin is hokage, and even the hokage is a jounin. Hes just the best overall leader for the village. Sannin in japanese translates out to 3 ninjas (san=3 nin = ninja) describing the 3 legendary ninja, which in the manga (i dont read the manga i just heard this) they call them the (idk how to say it in japanese) but they call them the 3 ninja of legend so its more clear that its not a rank.
Jaysee: When ino takes over sumones body and gets hurt, her own body gets hurt. She cant use other's ninjutsu just by taking over their bodies. Ninjutsu knowledge is stored within your soul. Thats why when oro takes over ppl's bodies, he still can use his old ninjutsu that hes learned in his old bodies. And what genjutsu does ino do?
Sasuke > Neji at close combat. Who needs scouting?
sasuke: neji we need to scout ahead!
neji: aight! byakugan!
sasuke: what u see?
neji: Itachi, but now that ive scouted them and they dont see us yet, we can totally beat them right?
sasuke: if we replaced u with a better team member than maybe. n00b.
Naruto can become stronger than anyone once he fully learns to use his kyuubi power. After all, you saw his power at the battle vs sasuke with only 1 tail released.
Jiraya
naruto
sasuke
gaara
still stands.
Knowledge is stored in the brain. Ino can learn to use other people's techniques that are based on physical attributes, like Byakugan and Sharingan. Does her possesion technique count as Ninjutsu or Genjutsu? It is somewhat of a mind altering technique. IIRC she used genjutsu in an episode in the past, but I can't remember exactly.
Scouting and intelligence is very important in warfare. You can find the enemy, see the enemy, see what he has, what techniques he can use, how many there are, how far away. Then you can prepare and strategize and set traps.
As of now, in the anime, Naruto sucks as a choice for the perfect team for the reasons I've already stated. If your team has to get beaten half to death before your wildcard Naruto kicks in, your team is nowhere near perfect.
if u give ino time to learn techniques, i give naruto time to learn to control his kyuubi. Seeing what techniques your opponent uses doesn't mean you can counter them. No matter how well-planned your sneak attack is on a dinosaur is, you will still lose. Unless you have a 9-tailed demon fox on your side. And no, ninjutsu is stored in the soul. If it was stored in the brain, oro could not use techniques learned in the past in his new bodies.
Lets do a virtual simulation of my team vs yours.

Jiraya ino neji gaara
Jiraya/Jiraya and gaara/gaara cancel out.
Naruto vs neji, we saw the outcome in the chuunin exams. not to mention that wasn't even Naruto's full power, nor did he summon a frog.
Sasuke vs Ino. nuff said.
P.S. I would use jiraya's frog stomach technique to separate the 4 of us into individual parts of the stomache to engage in 1 on 1 death combat.
Well, I read throw most of the replies in this thread... I found there were a lot of idiotic ideas, comments, etc.
Here is my idea of the best team:
Jounin: Kakashi
Genin#1: Lee
Genin#2: Gaara
Genin#3: Neji
This team is built based on how well each character would interact with the other, and what abilities each character has to offer.
Kakashi is a well-rounded leader who is able to both construct/analyze plans, judge situations masterfully, and fight at a high level.
Lee is an expert in hand combat techniques and is a total brute (in both strength and speed). If given an order, he will definitely do it.
Gaara is a massive force on his own; with a team, he amplifies everyone's abilities with his own. His offense and defense are on in the same and are practically limitless; as a result, with some planning, the team could do anything (maybe use sand to lift someone? :-P)
Neji is here for one main purpose: His sight abilities. In addition to his sight abilities, he is also a great ninja in many fields. In this group, Neji should have very little conflict.
To sum it up: This group will have few conflicts among each other. They have an awsom offense, definitely accented by Gaara; the same goes for their defense. Their scouting abilities are about as great as it gets, and their abilities to identify enemy techniques are astounding. There is little they can't do, and everything they can do is at an elite level.
One Quick Example: Against one foe, Neji could point out where/which thing to attack, Gaara could slow down/hold that target, and Lee could attack it. Kakashi would be the leader in such a situation, making major decisions and contributing constantly (the Genin would be more of a mechanic part to the team, whereas Kakashi would change what he does/commands the team to do constantly).

Your logic and strategy is flawed. Oro transferring his conciousness and memories are why he has his techniques after transferring bodies, not his SOUL, HIS MIND. They are in his memory. In a group match up, only an idiot would pit himself against an equal. You mix and match and use teamwork to get the advantage. So no, Jiraya doesn't cancel out Jiraya, and Gaara doesn't cancel out Gaara. My team would see your team coming miles away and set traps. Your team would have Naruto blindling running into a fight and getting trapped or knocked out. Then it's 3 on 4. Ino can possess any of the remaining 3. 2 on 4. Now your team just plain ol' gets its butt kicked. Naruto possibly is watching or wakes up, gets pissed, does his little speech and unleashes his Kyuubi. 1 Kyuubi Naruto vs Jiraya, Neji, Gaara, and whomever Ino possessed. Down goes Naruto. My team wins.if u give ino time to learn techniques, i give naruto time to learn to control his kyuubi. Seeing what techniques your opponent uses doesn't mean you can counter them. No matter how well-planned your sneak attack is on a dinosaur is, you will still lose. Unless you have a 9-tailed demon fox on your side. And no, ninjutsu is stored in the soul.

Neji's current byakugan can only see a few miles, a sannin can move many many miles very quickly. You are aying Ino can posses Jiraya? Your team wont have enough time to set traps to catch us, and who says the senario is us chasing u? what if you are chasing us? and no, oro transfers his SOUL, hence the jutsu being named soul transfer technique. When naruto learns to unleash all 9 of his fox tails, he can easily take on gaara neji and jiraya. And you leave out the part that I use jiraya's frog stomache technique to separate all 4 of us. read carefully next time before you challenge my team >_<
P.S. Canadian, i wont bother challenging ur team with much detail. Not only is Jiraya smarter than kakashi, but he is a much better fighter and team member. In regular taijutsu, sasuke is already at lee's level, and he achieved what lee took years in only 1 month. Give him another month and he can get a lot better than lee in regular taijutsu. Lee's 5 gates are a double-edged sword and sasuke can counter with level 3 sharingan and level 2 curse seal, which i personally think when amplying the chidori is stronger than lee. Sasuke also has the advantage of ninjutsu, when lee cannot use any. u fail.

Well, I can see I'm debating with a 12 yr old, so I'll just quit while I'm ahead.
