yea, but with no Sasuke to be stupid about, maybe Sakura and Ino could do something usefull, not likely, but it's still a possibilty.

and i hope that if there'll be a team changes, then Naruto will be with Hinata and someone else from another team, it'd be more balancing to mix up all the teams, to get to a situation where there are no old teammates in the same new group, that way they can work on the new teamwork and the new one won't feel left out.

and Shikamaru still seemed to be with Ino and Chouji and Asuma, they had that BarBQ meeting, and Asume still treated Shikamaru like part of the team.
