Sasuke = a definite no. Like I said earlier, the "perfect" team should consist of characters that are available, team players, and are allied to the characters they are on the team with. You can't expect two enemies to act as a team with each other. You cannot selectively ignore certain aspects to build your perfect team; take everything into consideration, otherwise, your team is not "perfect"!

Just something extra... A team can be perfect in one situation, but not another. The "perfect" team is the team that can take on the widest range of tasks with success. This is the basis of my following comments.

I have already commented on Sasuke, so I will move on to Naruto.

Naruto is the luck factor. He is based on chance. His inconsistencies make him a majorly flawed member for any team. As you see him in the story, he always comes out alive (and with some sort of success) because he is the main character (and he has the his special Nine-Tailed Fox powers). Still thinking within the world of Naruto, Naruto would hold back the rest of the team at times, put them in dangerous positions, and screw up even the most simple of tasks. Naruto can be a brute force, but when it comes to whit and consistency... he's nothing.

I don't even need to comment about Neji. He is a well-rounded Ninja, and there is nothing to argue about here.

Jiraya has similarities to Naruto with his inconsitencies. He will side-track as soon as possible, take long routes just to pick up a hooker or two (yes, that's what he's doing...), and is often unavailable (this team would be hard to assemble, and keep together after a mission, with Jiraya). Although Jiraya is one of the top choices, I still think he isn't a great leader.

Anyways, what I mainly wanted to say was you SHOULD NOT use Sasuke in a team, and you should think about a team in many different situations. Direct team vs. team combat isn't something that a good team of Ninjas should put themselves into.
