Dream Team

[meroko01]

What would your dream team be, if you cold choose from all of the genin (including the ones from other villages).

I reckon the best would be

Sasuke
Neji
Gaara

Naruto
Gaara
Shino

if shikamaru wasn't a chuunin he would take shino's place xD

Shikamaru is over-rated. He is the smartest, but he was still getting beat by that sound broad. He is so weak. I think Shikamaru has topped out at Chuunin. There is no way he will become a Jounin. His 3 techniques will not be enough against stronger opponents.

Your Gaara, Naruto, Shikamaru team would be strong, but I would way rather have Neji. His Byakugan is so powerful. Even Hinata used it super effectively in the forest part of the Chuunin selection exam.

to whoever wrote this.. shikamaru is not over rated .. he is actually underrated by naruto fans .. only those who see shika's true strength thinks of him as a very powerful ninja ... his jutsus and strategies can surpass Nejis byakugan anytime .. also, in the shikamaru/temari fight, shika predicted temari's moves and i doubt neji can do that with his byakugan ...

[Death BOO Z]

Shikamaru is totally overated nowdays... but i really can'y blame you guys, the brainygan skills he showed in the last fight were truely outstanding...

however, he himself addmitted that he can't beat Naruto (after the fight with Neji, and Naruto has gotten much stronger since), and his time was going to lose to the sound trio if Neji wouldn't have interfered...

Shikamaru is smart, but he's not fitting to a 'powerhouse' team, he goes well with Ino and Chouji becuase they have one heavy striker and two people to capture the other enemies...
